Waiting for a final hiring decision
While there are many frustrating parts of searching for premium entry level jobs and paid internships following college graduation, waiting for a final hiring decision after several rounds of interviews can be the most nerve-wracking. This is even worse when you still haven't heard from the employer, despite being told that you would receive a decision within a week. Here are some strategies on what to do when the lines of communication have become strained.
Friendly reminder
If you've been patiently waiting for an extended period without a reply, consider sending a friendly reminder email to your interviewer. This message should briefly restate your interest in the position while also asking if there's any additional information – such as references, writing samples or educational transcripts – that you can supply to make their decision easier. Just make sure not to sound impatient or pushy about waiting.
Begin sending out more applications
While waiting for a final decision on this promising opportunity, you may have relaxed a bit on sending out applications for other jobs. As the process drags on past your expected decision deadline, you should begin bringing your search back up to speed to prepare for the chance that you may not have gotten the offer.
Ask outright
While some companies can take a month or more to reach a final decision about a new hire, you're in the right to be annoyed when a hiring manager doesn't contact you within the approximate time frame that he or she promised. In this case, send a polite but forward email asking how the process is going and when you can expect a final decision. However, you should save this message as a last-ditch effort.

I remember the first time I found Mother Goose Remembers in the library when my little guy was just a few months old. It was my introduction to Clare Beaton and we read it over and over (me in awe of the tiny stitches and intricate details, he in awe of the whimsy and color and poetry). Our home library has since grown with well-loved (and now well-worn) Clare Beaton favorites, and that first book was also my introduction to the colorful, beautiful worlds in so many Barefoot Books publications. I know the Bear books by heart!
Barefoot Books was started by two mothers and has a beautiful selection of books just right for a wide range of ages. You have a chance to win one of three Clare Beaton Barefoot Books following our interview with Ms. Beaton, coming up next:

I love Bare Books! Thanks for the new ideas.
Just read the newest book…and adore it!
I love these books! What a great baby gift idea!
I am a children's librarian and am excited to see these books featured. I recognized Ms. Beaton's name from a title I've used in storytime before – How Big Is a Pig? So awesome to see her and these great books featured!
Wow! These are so awesome! They are cute and adorable and educational!
I love these, I can't wait to find them in the store or library. Sooo… cute!
Wonderful books! My little curly girl loves them as much as I do. It's not easy to find them in bookshops around New Zealand, but we are lucky that our lovely Librarian loves them too.
We love barefoot books in our home! I actually ordered some for our church nursery, since I'm the office manager…the kids adore them 😀 We bought Mother Goose Remembers for the nursery. For home…I would love Baby's First Book or Secret Sea Horse 😀
Oh what lovely books!
No little ones in my household any more, but I do LOVE that Secret Seahorse book! 🙂
These are so cute!
Gorgeous books
So beautiful. I will have to look into them for my new nephew!
I absolutely love these books. They make wonderful gifts!
I've never seen these before–I'm a children's book-a-holic, so I'll be checking my library asap!
Oh thank you for introducing me to these books- I have not seen them before but they look simply adorable.
I am in Japan and have our first baby due in December and I am already stocking up on English books since hub doesn`t speak much English and baby will be relying on me to become billingual! Books are always great!
Oh my~~! I collect Mother Goose books and I NEED this one for my collection. Such beautiful and creative work!
These books are so cute! We have a grandbaby due yesterday, so these would be awesome!
I love Barefoot Books! My son Xander, almost 7 months, loves books and we've enjoyed all the Barefoot Books we've gotten from the library. Several have made it on to our wish list at Amazon. They really are amazing illustrations and the stories have all been great too.
I love these types of illustrations made with hand-sewn techniques. I think they can be such an inspiration and eye-opener to children not usually exposed to handmade items.
What wonderful books- I am a kindergarten teacher and am always looking for new books to interest my students. I also am a quilter so I am love looking at the covers of these books. Thanks for sharing- someone is going to be a lucky winner of these books,
Warmest regards,
I love the Mother Goose collection; how sweet it is!
I especially love secret seahorse. These books make me want to take out the felt and get crafty
What delightful illustrations. I love children's books and have a fabric addiction so this combination is a joy to behold
wow…great idea
Those look really neat! We are avid readers here and I can't believe that I have never run across those before!
They look awesome!! I'm always looking for interesting new books to share with my children.
I have never heard of these but man they look beautiful and I love good children's books.
Just so lovely! My boys are too old for them, but my niece and nephews could just go crazy over such book!
I agree with Jennifer…..so glad to see more people are getting to see these books and love them! They are wonderful to read and look at. My son just loves them, as do I!
So nice to offer a giveaway! Love these baby books!
Beautiful books. They would be amazing to add to a children's book collection or to give as gifts. I know my children would adore them!
I love the Mother Goose one!! Fabulous work and so much fun-thanks for sharing!
These books would be a great addition to my grandson library.
My kids and I love One Moose, and we also own Zoe and her Zebra and How Big is a Pig. The Barefoot books are hard to track down here in Sydney, but I always snap them up when I see them, as I love to have them on hand as gifts for babies. I love your work, Claire- my boy's favourite image is the cat's tail that dangles into the snakes and tricks you into counting it too! Susan
The illustrations are gorgeous! I know a baby who would love to have one of these books.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh these seem to be wonderful books. But Imust confess it has been awhile since I have bought childrens books and need all thehelp I can. I now have custody of my 7 year old grandson and there is so much I want to give him that are excellent things for him to learn by and this would be one of them. He already has lived through allot for his 7 years (some stuff allot of us never even have had to deal with) and now all I want to do is give him happy htings. thanks for the chance.
Oh my, those are awesome!
I want them all! My little boy would love them ( 18 months)
He loves books (in fact everything in the house is either a book, clock, a NO, or a doggie)
I think I would have to hide these though haha
I've often looked at books with embroidered pictures in awe and wondered about the clever people who do it – now all is revealed!
YAY!!!! I'm SOOO glad to see these books getting more attention. I sell these books, and I am always amazed at how many people have never heard of them – they are THE MOST AWESOME books ever!!!!!!! I love love love them!!!!!

The illustrations in these books are some of my favorites.
These are all so beautiful! Thank you for introducing me to a talented new artist.
This is above and beyond artistic! I've never seen them before! Awesome!

I have a hard time with the "age range" for Clare's books! I'm WAY past the upper age and I LOVE HER WORK! Bravo Clare!
I love the Seahorse book, so bright and colorful! My daughter loves the undersea animals and especially anything that she can touch and feel the textures…
These are so cute! We have anew one arriving in our family very soon and my own little guy loves any book with undersea animals!
Ooh, I have a friend who is a "new Mommy" and these would be the perfect thing to pack up with the baby quilt I'm finishing up for her. I am going to check them out for sure!

This is so crazy! I just discovered "Mother Goose Remembers" about an hour ago at the library! I loved the art work so, picked it up to read at home too.

These books look like fun! Just what I need for my grandson's library.

See How He Scored... the Job Published on Jun 23, 2014 Editor's Pick Adult content platform Pornhub is trying to break into the mainstream advertising scene. Until recently, the popular porn site, which receives an average of 13 million monthly unique views, has only come close with this unaired super bowl 2013 spot. CBS purportedly cited corporate policy restrictions keeping it from running the commercial. Earlier this year the snubbed company launched a creative director challenge on tumblr, with a simple directive: keep submissions "G-rated and 'safe for work.'" The desired outcome was to find a witty concept with a high-quality design that could inspire a campaign fit for print, digital, television and outdoor displays. Contest winners were promised a creative director title at Pornhub including a one year paid contract. Istanbul-based copywriter Nuri Gulver took the prize with the idea above. The campaign, a play on the Beatles' classic "All You Need is Love," beat out 3,000 submissions from more than 2,000 applicants. When Gulver entered his work in March of this year, he explained his insight simply -- people need their hands for this website, if only to access it.

just moved to a new house, and the washer and dryer are in the kitchen!! I have NO place to store dirty clothes, let alone diapers. I usually wash once or twice a week (I like a big stash) but without a place with a door away from the rest of the house (i.e. a laundry room, heh...) I'm not digging the idea of CD. I don't want them in the bathroom either. What would you do? Have a smaller stash and wash every day maybe?
Misti, mom to DS (12), DS (9), DD (3), and Mr. Man (October '10)!
Me too. I use the hanging planetwise wetbag on the back of the bathroom door and it contains odors really well. I have a big stash too, but find I wash 3-4 x a week now, and just rotate.
I hang my bag on the bathroom door as well. I hang command hooks up wherever I need to hang it.
I would wash everyday.
Well our diaper pail and laundry bins are not in the laundry room so that wouldn't make much difference to me. The diaper bin sits beside the change table and the laundry bins are in the hallway. We wash dipes every other day.

SIDS happens.
leave it in plastic bag
We keep ours in a pail with liner next to the changing table in our living room. Since we spend most our time downstairs, it's a handy place for quick changes and keeps everything together.
My Washer/dryer are in the hallway. My diaper pail is in the bathroom (I have to dump the poop anyway). Everyone has a hamper in their rooms and we have a mesh bag on the bathroom for towels and household linens.
Our washer/dryer are essentially in the kitchen, heh. We just use an open pail with a liner next to the changing table. He is still EBF, so I don't know if this will change, but right now, it doesn't smell at all....unless you stick your nose in it, and then its your own fault :)
Our diaper pail(trash can w/ lid & foot pedal) w/ wet bag are in baby's room. We have pail freshener but don't usually need it. I usually do diaper laundry every 2-3 days though. I would have put them in the bathroom but it's easier having it all right there in his room with his changing table and all. He is on solids so there were a few times when i used deodorizer in it. lol.
We have a hanging wet bag next to the changing table in our bedroom. I keep a mason jar with baking soda and tea tree oil (2 cups baking soda, 5 drops TTO) on the changing table that I sprinkle in the wet bag every 4th or 5th diaper change. We wash every other day, and have no smell issues.
We have a trash can with a popup lid by the changing table. I keep a wetbag pail liner in it and just remove the bag when it's time to do laundry. For dirty clothes, the kid has a hamper in his room and we keep ours in our closet.

I just tote it down to the washer when its time.
I am not a vegetable. I feed myself accordingly
why dont you want them in the bathroom? that seems like a logical place. or right next to wherever you change most often.
we have a diaper champ pail which I love but isnt very big, (was designed for sposies) so it worked for the prefolds/reusable covers but fills up very quickly now that were using mostly pockets/AI2s. I still use it right after i do a load of laundry, since the first diapers after laundry will be sitting a bit longer than others, when its full, i switch to a wetbag hanging from the changing table. both get some deodorizer once every few diapers.
also, if your washer has an express wash option with no spin, you can just put dirty diapers directly into the washer after changes, then every day or 2, do an express wash with no spin, add whatever other laundry needs done and set it for a full wash. I dont store my diapers in the washer, since its not in the house, but that is how i wash laundry, usually with towels though, since i can wash them in hot. I dont have a very big stash of her current size and it seems wastefull to wash/dry such a small load. we dont soak diapers before doing laundry, I hang dry whenever the weather allows, to sun bleach the stains.
when she starts eating table food, we will probably move the changing table into the bathroom, since its big enough, so i can dump the poop out into the toilet. or i do like the idea that

Cases to Select : Erratum [Wrong Sublist]
Dear MathGroup,
I apologize for giving a wrong sublist & being
surprised at FreeQ 's answer. I got my conductivity &
stress tensors all mixed up in my hurry. The sublist
should be {-6,7,8,0}, i.e., with no 3 & 4 in .
Nonetheless, my last question on using Cases to pick
that sublist out still holds.
Thanks to every one who responded & sorry for this
stupid error on my part.

Re: another "which one is better for us?" thread: H25, Catalina 25, S2 28...
Thanks, all; for the quick responses and the input!
My wife and i spent a blustery day checking out marinas and over a dozen boats, and quickly made some decisions.
First; a 25 is apparently not large enough inside for her ( looked at 3 Hunter 25's, none of which were those mentioned in my OP, an older Catalina 25, and an O'Day 23.
Secondly, Oyster Po' Boys are a great thing...even in the winter ( more on that maybe later).
We DID, however, find s boats that we both like and are in our price range. The first is an 82 Hunter 27 with the "deeper Keel" (4'3??). It has the Yanmar inboard, roller furling, sails in probably 70% condition, and seems to have no major cracks above the water line. The front hatch does leak. Overall she seems well taken care of, but certainly needs a bottom cleaning. She has shore power, a marine head, and comes with a hatch AC unit. Asking price is effectively $6,000.00; when I include the owner willing to let us reap the benefits of him having paid through 2013 for the slip.
The second is a Lancer 28, that my wife loves the lines of. She's had a rough life, doesn't have the roller furling, an older 2 stroke OB, and has been retrofitted with wheel steering that feels "clunky"...almost like the old rack& pinions felt when they slipped a gear. On the Lancer, there are some deep cracks at the aft cleat and winch on the port side, as well as cracks around the base of the mast. The Lancer has the Porta-potty, and overall looks. I could probably pick up the Lancer for around 2 grand; which would leave allot more money for the attention needed. She is in desperate need of a bottom job.
From all accounts ( including my Dad who lived on a H34), the Hunters are a slower sailing boat, but I'm not certain that a boat with a tendency to right itself and point windward easily is a bad thing for a new Sailor.
In either case, unless I can negotiate them down enough to cover some "worst case" repairs, I'd have the boat pulled to get the hull looked at.
Finally; thanks for the PM! As soon as I've been a member long enough....I guess the board will actually let me read it.

I spent last Sunday replacing a stuffing box, prop, and propshaft on my inboard so the extra complexity is at the front of my mind.
On the other hand when I'm using the motor I do prefer using the inboard. The lower rumble is nicer to listen to and it gets better fuel economy. For servicing I prefer the simplicity of the outboard. If I were trying to own a boat on a budget I'd have an outboard.
As for cockpit size you can usually get a very good estimate of it by comparing line drawings of boats on sailboatdata.com. Oddly the smaller boats (especially 22s) often have larger cockpits than the 25s. This is because they are intended primarily for day sailing where the 25s are trying to squeeze in a full cabin (with galley, head, etc) and that means giving up cockpit space. This isn't a universal rule, but seems to be fairly common.
Re: another "which one is better for us?" thread: H25, Catalina 25, S2 28...
Hi puddle jockey. Midway and holiday are two very different marinas and are fairly far apart. I current have my boat at waterstreet seaport and pay approx 255 a month for a 30 foot slip with water and power. The slip also has finger docks on each side making boarding the boat much easier ( for my wife!). No bar or bathhouse on the property though it has a restroom.
One of the boats near me is a Catalina 30 for sale. He's asking upper 20's, but made it clear to me that he was willing to come off a lot from that price. If you need some help looking at a boat on the lake, would be happy to give you my 2¢.
Feel free to pm me. Thanks,
Re: another "which one is better for us?" thread: H25, Catalina 25, S2 28...
Don't worry about a restaurant on site- you can cook and drink aboard, and will likely do that more often. Nice showers and decent toilets however, THAT will make the experience for your better half that much happier.
Here's a possibility for you, right on Lake Norman. Helms boats are proular in theCarolinas and always seem to be good value with largely satisfied owners.

Re: another "which one is better for us?" thread: H25, Catalina 25, S2 28...
Cap; I'd love some input on boats in that range (24-30) that have larger cockpits, and might actually be around in an affordable package if such a thing exists. One thing I CAN"T risk is becoming to mired in finding the "perfect" boat...and end up with nothing, or end up spending more than we can afford to chaulk up to "experience" if she decides it isn't for her.
Re: another "which one is better for us?" thread: H25, Catalina 25, S2 28...
Thanks for all the responses, guys!
I called on the S2, to get more info and arrange a haul out for survey...and it's already been sold.
In calling around to various marinas, it appears that there are a LOT of boats out there for sale that never make the "inter-web"; so a few days of scouring the marinas may be well worth it.
Mahattan; I'm looking at All Seasons and Midway so far; two opposite ends of the spectrum on both cost and amenities. a major factor for us is a restaurant ( bar) at the marina or within walking distance...which Midway has, but without a bathhouse. All Seasons has more amenities and a BH, but no restaurant or bar. I'm also looking at Holiday....but there are downsides to having a large, busy bar attached to where you'd like to crash for the night. For a wet slip with power, there's a difference of over a grand between All Seasons and Midway... any input would be appreciated!
( Feel free to PM if you're more comfortable with that)
With the C25, I'd be looking at effectively adding almost $2000.00 to the cost for haul out, decommissioning, transportation, and relaunch....before having it surveyed or the bottom painted....
Re: another "which one is better for us?" thread: H25, Catalina 25, S2 28...
FWIW...4-5 people will be a tight fit on the boat sizes you're looking at with people crawling over each other and someone or two likely settting on the low side under heel...you may want to look for something with a larger cockpit for more sailing comfort for all not to mention room for the captain to steer/tack/adjust sails with such a group on board...
Re: another "which one is better for us?" thread: H25, Catalina 25, S2 28...
S2. Better boat, better value, better sailor, better accomodations than the other boats on your list. Although some will argue than an inboard is more complex than an outboard, if it is an S2 8.5 then it likely has a diesel inboard, which is less complex than a four stroke outboard, cheaper and quieter to run and more durable.
Re: another "which one is better for us?" thread: H25, Catalina 25, S2 28...
Yes, the best sailor of the bunch, and likely the best made would be the S2. That said the one in the best shape is likely to be the best boat. 3 grand on the Hunter with no electronics, and not well maintained sounds like a LOT of money. This is off season and so unless he has brand new sails and rigging I would think that boat is at best 1500, and likely and expensive prospect if the bottom has not been painted in 5 years. Even on a lake you should do it every few. Not that painting a bottom on a boat that small is going to be that expensive, but if they have not done that what else have they not done? I know there are a few Lake Norman sailors here so perhaps you could get someone here to look with you. I don't think in this size range and price range it makes sense to get a survey, as it will almost be as much as the boat.
As to maintenance the smaller and simpler the boat the lower the maintenance cost. Depends on how handy you are, it really is the labor that will kill you if you have to pay someone to do simple things.
Lake Norman sounds like a nice place to have a boat. I grew up going to Lake Lure every summer for a few weeks. We loved the area, it is so beautiful. Though Lake Lure does not seem to have any sailing at all, at least not back when we went.
Re: another "which one is better for us?" thread: H25, Catalina 25, S2 28...
Hi Puddlejockey.
I too have a boat on Lake Norman where I learned how to sail three years ago. I sail a Hunter 28.5 that I purchased in Oriental NC and had her hauled to LKN.
I would recommend buying the biggest boat your budget can afford as you will quickly grow out of a boat if its on the small side.
Out of the three boats you mentioned, I would look the hardest at the S2 as you will want the space if you are camping out over the weekend. Also, the bigger boat will be more comfortable riding through the waves created by 36+ ft. power boats going by you during the summer months.
Where are you looking to dock the boat? I have docked my boat at three different marinas on the lake and can give you some pro's / con's with different marinas that you are considering.

As for people thinking that Apple itself is not contributing to relief efforts, I'm not sure where you get that from.
As for people thinking that Apple itself is not contributing to relief efforts, I'm not sure where you get that from.
These's events always bring the grateful ******** out of the woodwork.
This isn't Apple saying "We're not helping". For all we know they could have donated millions.
Hundreds of countries, my own included, have donated to the U.S. in your time of need, Hurricane Katerina, 9/11 being the two most high profile. Would you rather we have just said, clean up your mess? You're probably one those asshoIes with Twitter and Facebook statuses saying this is karma for Pearl Harbor.
It's a good thing that Celebrities promote certain charities. Again you don't that they don't donate themselves. Thank god there are some Celebs that use their money and status to do some help in the world. Sean Penn for example didn't just donate to Haiti, he actually went to Haiti and used his money to set up his own relief organisation in Haiti It hopefully encourages people to donate because their favourite Celeb is on screen rather than some unknown volunteer. It's a sad reality that people will donate just because a celeb makes it "cool" but it's better than nothing.
It's attitudes like yours why maybe we shouldn't give two $hits about the U.S.

Y does America ALWAYS have to help counties in need like Haiti, japan etc. They wouldn't help us & as a country we r struggling! We need to help ourselves b4 others. Donate Ur $ to local places not ppl who kill free willy & flipper! God bless them though
It's sickening how Apple is asking US,THE CONSUMERS for donations when they are the multi-billion dollar company. The least they could do is match our donations 50% or something. Greedy ********
Oh and to everyone who's saying "HURRDURR MAYBE APPLE DONATED AND WE DON'T KNOW IT"
Seriously, shut up. If apple donate we would have heard about it because they never pass up a chance for good publicity.

I'm sure they donated some money guys, relax...

It's sad too see so many ignorant americans(united states citizens) questioning sending help to other countries when their country is so bad off. Are you aware of the chaos that japan must be suffering, the country is probably frozen , upon thousands of families homeless. Go see the news, and not hopefully , but if you went through a major natural disaster, you should understand thats the time you need most help.
And saying that other countries dont help United States, is just more ignorance for your part.
What is wrong with people... Who cares what Japan did before or why we should help... they are humans, and need help... you would want help too if you were in that situation... Find it in your heart if most you ignorant assholes have one and help them... Quit complaining how they didn't help us (which is a false assumption by you ignorant bastards) and just help them, if you can't then pray for them, if your atheist then spread the word for them. Quit saying why isn't Apple donating, they are using their status to help the cause. Either donate, or shut up that simple.
Money isn't always the best help. Food - Closes - Shelter - place to clean them selfs. Yes it takes money but I rather donate where they need it the most not to some foundation claiming to be helping but some how a non profit origanization CEO making tons of money. Sorry but the Red Cross is a profit company scamming many people and companies.
Myself I hate to see Japan like it is right now... however I hate to see America like it is right now to.

Whether Apple donated or not should not effect the fact that the ppl of Japan need every bit of help that they can get! At least Apple's giving us a fast way to donate. If you're not going to donate that's your choice, but don't sit there and try and give others a reason not to, that's just sad!

This thread is about apple taking donations to help Japan.. everyone has their own thoughts on this.. however please do not point fingers as to their thoughts compared to your thoughts.. in the end we will all help Japan.
Guys, I HIGHLY doubt Apple is looking to make money on this. This is just an easy way to use your money, possibly even a gift card, to send to the victims of this natural disaster. To insinuate that Apple is keeping a cut of the money is utterly ridiculous (and I am not Apple's greatest fan if you read any overage post of mine).
That said, I would like to see Apple match what people are donating in some way.
I once prayed to God for an iPhone, but quickly found out He didn't work that way...so I stole an iPhone and prayed for His forgiveness.
A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself. - Josh Billings
I feel this applies to the "instant gratified" society that we are seen as. We act based on a reactionary manner. I mean, in general, how often are people talking about the problems that are still going on in Haiti? Is that on the news still? Even so, I agree Japan does need help, but the USA seriously needs to help itself internally. Note that I am not holding myself blameless, nor am I saying this applies to everyone and everything.
Haha, the idea of non-profit should be revised. It ticks me to see CEOs receive pay greater than the president, himself. It defeats the idea of selfless service. I think the greatest example of an organization taking advantage its non-profit status is the Collegeboard organization.

Apple ask for donations, but what about if they take at least $10.00 from each iPad 2 that they sold? or some %. What you think Steve?

Top Indiana schools gaining schedule flexibility
A new Indiana law will give some of high schools flexibility from following the state's school day requirements.
The law taking effect July 1 gives schools that receive top grades on the state's A to F scale the ability to create their own courses and be free of some regulations. It also frees those schools from the requirement of having at least six hours of instructional time for 180 days.
Carmel Clay superintendent Jeff Swensson tells our partners at The Indianapolis Star that the district is planning to offer credit-transferring college classes that might meet three days a week.
Republican state Sen. Mike Delph says the changes reward schools exceeding state expectations.
Indiana State Teachers Association officials worry that the minimum number of school days is being undermined with little oversight.

What do you think of trading up to #3?
Browns GM Phil Savage said that he would be willing to trade with Philly if they offered enough of their many picks.
What do you think?

I would extremely love to trade all the way up there but i know its gonna cost us dearly. i dont want to give up all of our picks but thats probably what it would cost.
looking at it if we keep all of our picks we can draft consistently and fill up all of the positions in question with quality players and some depth providing ones.
im still unsure because even though i would love to have DJ, Braylon or Merriman on my team i wouldnt want to risk that when i can get 5 other solid players. its difficult to choose really.
take a player who will help u get to and hopefully win the SB this season or draft for depth to build a strong team for the future.

Biggest Browns deal yet to come
By STEVE DOERSCHUK Repository sports writer
From his birds-eye view as general manager of the Browns, Phil Savage can see all the way to Philadelphia.
He notices the Eagles keep landing all over the draft board.
Savage uses the City of Brotherly Love, which has stockpiled picks, as a means to shout out his fondest draft wish:
He is eager to trade the No. 3 overall pick. What better way to kick off reconstruction than with a draft dripping with extra picks?
We could go any direction, Savage said Friday of his plans with the No. 3 pick. Do we keep the pick? Do we try to slide back (via trade)? Do we give away that pick for Phillys entire draft?
The Eagles may have 15 draft picks (the Browns have seven). Would you rather have the first pick of the draft, or would you rather have another teams entire draft?
Im not saying they would do it, but what happens if they call and say, Hey, we like a player at the top. What if we give you 10 picks for that one choice?
It has been a can-do offseason for Savage, who has jolted Browns fans from hibernation by landing eight veterans through trades and free agency.
Restricted free-agent safety Brian Russell of the Vikings could be the ninth. The Browns reportedly extended him an offer Friday. The Vikings can keep him by matching the offer.
Russell, 27, converted to safety as a San Diego State junior after playing quarterback. He wasnt drafted by the Vikings, which means the Browns wouldnt have to send Minnesota a draft pick. He became a starter in 2003, his third season. He might replace recently released Robert Griffith, who began his pro career as an undrafted player for the Vikings.
Even if Russell falls through, the Browns are finished with safety Earl Little. The outspoken veteran who joined the team in 1999 was released Friday.
We explored other options for Earl which unfortunately did not work out, Savage said.
Savage said his flurry started with targeting two guards, Joe Andruzzi and Cosey Coleman, to fix a chronic problem.
Just because you put them on your list doesnt mean youll get them, Savage said. We targeted them and got them signed.
The ball kept rolling, most notably with trades for quarterback Trent Dilfer and running back Reuben Droughns.
Now the to-do list shifts to trading down for more picks.
Savage is grinding through brutally long days with three weeks to go before the draft.
On Friday morning, he interviewed Kent State safety Abram Elam, who convinced Savage he is contrite about issues that got him kicked out of Notre Dame.
Then it was on to the University of Akron to watch quarterback Charlie Frye throw, then another jump down Interstate 77 for a the Northeast Ohio Celebrity Luncheon Club at Prestwick Country Club emceed by ex-Browns standout Jim Houston.
From there it was back to Akron for a heart-to-heart with Frye, a first-round hopeful Savage doesnt see going that high.
I do think hell go on the first day of the draft, in the second or third round, Savage said. We have to weigh him against the other quarterbacks.
Savage said the Browns havent ruled out running back Maurice Clarett, who followed up an embarrassing NFL Combine workout with a slightly better one Thursday in Warren.
At this point, Savage said, I would say our interest in Maurice would be on Day 2 only.
Rounds 1-3 will be conducted on April 23. Rounds 4-7 are April 24.
For now, all eyes are on that No. 3 overall pick.
Anything Savage says in public could be a draft smokescreen. But for the record, this is what he describes the teams disposition toward spending the No. 3 pick on a passer.
Were open to it, he said. Were open to anything.
Weve seen (Utahs) Alex Smith. Weve seen (Cals) Aaron Rodgers. Weve had em both in. ... Those two guys may or may not be available. Who knows? We feel like were getting to a comfort level in terms of knowing both players.
Texas star Derrick Johnson is perceived as a possible No. 3 pick. The Browns need linebackers for their new 3-4 defense. Linebackers, though, hardly ever get picked that high. Why?
You really want players in that part of the draft to be difference-makers, Savage said. You want the type who can win a game or end a game.
Usually, linebackers are off the line of scrimmage. Theyre gonna make a lot of tackles, but ... theyre generally not pass rushers.
Remember, Johnson could the man if the Browns trade down.
What if the Browns stay at No. 3? Keep in mind the positions Savage associates with that draft neighborhood.
Left tackle, quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback ... all those positions where people are trying to find a difference maker, he said.
That could mean Michigan receiver Braylon Edwards is on his radar.
At this point, though, one can only be certain that Savage is seeking a sweet deal.
Mystery reigns as to which players the Browns think can get them to where the Eagles landed in February: A Super Bowl.

You can look at a number of the threads on this board and find a bunch of discussion on this very type of issue.
The important thing are the 1st day picks. You could have our tradeable 2nd day picks (4th, 2 5th, 7th) at little cost. But the important thing are the 1st day picks. 31 + 35 for one of the top 3? Yes, I would do it. 31 + 35 + 4 second day picks? Yes to that, too.
But once you start throwing in 63, 77, and 94, it starts getting hazy. This draft supposedly has depth, but not much in the top. Is it really worth 5 of the first 100 picks in order to get #3? Plus, there is the whole contract negotiation problem with high picks. They often aren't signed early, so they are behind during the first year...
I'm happy with where the Eagles are drafting now. Would I be happier with the whole draft riding on one guy? I doubt it. Now, trading up in the 1st round at a relatively low cost, that I would be more willing to see.

No one is worth our entire draft. I agree I'd trade five/six picks for it but only if there is no more than 2 from the first two rounds and a total of three in the first day (31, 63, 77, and 2 5th) might be reasonable if they knew (and that's a big if) the contract that they'd be getting themselves into. I don't think the Eagles would trade up into the top seven pciks (althought Titams may be ripe for the picking) because of what they'd be stuck paying that person -- look at the situation with Simon. I think they'd be much happier moving up to the 20s or moving down and getting a another high 2nd and a pick for next year.
Remember Savage was talking not anyone who has influence in the Eagles. Of course he'd take all their picks for the 3 who wouldn't?

I think it's a terrible idea, trading away many picks for a player that will demand a huge contract with no guarantees of him ever doing anything in the league.
The Draft is a crap shoot, The Eagles have a better shot of landing a player taking 5 first day picks then taking 1 first day pick

3 first days picks would be all id be willing to give up for the first day. it doesnt bother me about the second day ones because they would struggle to make our roster anyway.
so say we offered them that to move up to #3 where we would have the pickings of Braylon Edwards, Derrick Johnson, Mike Williams, Shawne Merriman, you wouldnt take it? those guys would help our team straight away being labelled as possible pro-bowlers and would solidify some of our positions.
we would still have picks left and if the browns dont take what we would offer which would be roughly 6-7 picks, then they would most likely be stuck there. i think we should offer them that deal and stick to it and not budge at all, browns would be stupid not to take it, they have far more holes to fill than one and it would benefit both teams.
there has been alot of speculation about the Eagles this off-season and we will just have to see what ends up happening. but hey i like changes and i like the players at the top of the draft, so lets see where it goes.

I think Philly should trade Fredex and a 3rd round pick to swap 1st rounders.Then they will be rid of Fredex and can take DJ with the #3 pick. There are rumors that Browns may want another WR so Fredex is just about as good as the rest of their WRs.

that would have to be the worst trade in Browns history, move down 28 spots and gain a mediocore receiver who runs his mouth too much.

That is the weakest trade offer I have seen. It would take more than a future car salesman and a 3rd to move up 28 spots into the top 5. T.O. and a 3rd and we might talk, but we all know that ain't happenin'.
Just about as good talent-wise maybe, but doesn't stand a chance of coming to Cleveland with that mouth and attitude.

It is never a good idea to trade away your entire draft i just point to Miami who traded everything away to the saints for Ricky Williams and he was a proven talent. they never made the playoffs with him and now they don't even have him. on the flip side the saints arn't looking much better either. Savage is dreaming hoping the Philly fans will pressure the front office into doing somthing stupid.

Is there any reason not to use inverted logic with this relay? In other words: connect 5v to one side of the coil, and an Arduino pin to the other. When you want it on turn the pin off, and vise-versa.

Human Growth Hormone Supplements
By G. Douglas Andersen, DC, DACBSP, CCN
Three years ago, a snowstorm forced me to spend an unexpected night in a small Montana town. The TV in the little motel only received three channels due to the storm. Scanning the three stations, I came upon a fellow making some health claims that really got my attention.It turned out to be an infomercial. I tuned in just in time to hear him say something about:
All of this could be done with zero side-effects!
When he said the cost could be $500 to $1,000 a month or more, I knew he was speaking of recombinant human growth hormone (HGH). I also knew that 1) to the layperson, this advertisement looked very impressive and would generate huge sales ($80 million for one company alone); and 2) the claims were so over the top, I wondered if they would ever be challenged.
Every company selling supplements designed to boost HGH mentions research. One 1990 study by Daniel Rudman, et al.,1 is constantly referenced and often referred to as a "landmark study." I found it on The New England Journal of Medicine Web site (www.nejm.org). When I clicked on it, there was a surprise: an editorial explaining that this article receives more hits in a week than most 1990 pieces do in a year. The editors felt it has been so misused, they provided the entire article (rather than just the abstract) free of charge or registration. Also posted were full-text commentaries, including one from 1990 discussing the original research, and a 2003 follow-up by the same author.2,3
Human Growth Hormone
HGH is produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Production declines with age:
HGH has a half-life of only 20 minutes. It is converted in the liver to somatomedin-C, also known as insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 is stable and has a half-life of 20 hours. This is how HGH is commonly, albeit indirectly, measured.
Real HGH has been shown to 1) increase protein synthesis in almost every cell; 2) increase mobilization of fatty acids from adipose tissue resulting in a greater amount of fat metabolized for fuel, and reduce the rate of glucose utilization; 3) improve skin elasticity and skin thickness; and 4) reduce or even reverse bone demineralization.1,4 Note: If a person has a frank deficiency, they may notice other changes as well.
Unfortunately, HGH has side-effects. A study involving 131 men and women (ages 65 to 88) who were administered a 30 mcg/kg/bw injection three times a week and continued with three weekly injections of 20 mcg/kg/bw revealed the following problems5 (see chart below).
The Landmark Study
As mentioned previously, in 1990 a study was published in the The New England Journal of Medicine regarding growth hormone. Six months of growth hormone therapy resulted in increased lean body mass (8.8 percent), bone density (1.6 percent) and skin thickness (7.1 percent). There was a 14.4 percent loss of adipose tissue. The muscle gain and fat loss were accomplished without diet or exercise.
Dr. Rudman's study involved 21 men ages 61 to 81. They were tested and divided into two groups based on IGF levels. Twelve subjects had IGF levels below 350 U/L, indicating a growth hormone deficiency; the other nine had IGF levels above 350 U/L. The 12 males with low levels of IGF-1 ranged in age from 61 to 73, while the nine controls were 65-81 years old. (Ninety-five percent of men ages 20-40 have more than 350 U/L of IGF-1. Seventy percent of men over age 60 have more than 350 U/L of IGF-1.) In this study, six months of HGH therapy in the form of recombinant growth hormone delivered by three weekly injections of 0.03mg/kg/bw reversed the biomarkers of aging by 10 to 20 years (according to the authors). This statement was based on the increases in lean body mass and skin thickness along with reduction in body fat.
Everyone selling HGH nutritional supplements uses the biomarker quote. Rudman et al. further stated, "Our findings cannot be generalized to the approximately two-thirds of men over age 60 who have plasma IGF-1 over 350 U/L." Strangely, no one selling HGH supplements uses this statement. There is nothing in Dr. Rudman's paper to indicate that HGH given to individuals under 60 years of age with normal levels of IGF-1 will have similar responses to those over age 60 with deficiencies. There is also nothing in the study to indicate that amino acids, herbs, vitamins and minerals will have effects similar to hGH injections. And, while it is true that various types of nutritional supplements have been shown (in laboratory conditions) to elevate growth hormone slightly, none of them comes close to the rise following strenuous exercise or the first few hours of deep sleep.
FTC Action
So, how amazing are these legal, over-the-counter HGH products? Well, they set a record for the highest amount of money ever awarded in a health fraud case by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) - $20 million. In June 2005, the FTC ordered two companies to make a $6.5 million initial payment and instituted an FTC-run complaint program titled "Consumer Redress,"6 capped at $13.5 million. The defendants in this case - Great American Products (GAP) and Physicians Choice Incorporated (PCI) - manufactured and marketed the products Ultimate HGH, Super HGH, Master HGH and Super HGH Booster. They agreed to the settlement. In addition to the cash payouts, the companies had to cease making false or unsubstantiated claims regarding their products.
The FTC sent letters to at least 90 Internet marketing companies selling natural HGH precursors, stimulators or secretagogs, warning them that deceptive or misleading advertising can result in legal jeopardy. After looking at some of the HGH Web sites six months later (in December 2005), it does not appear many companies received, reviewed or read the warning (choose one).
I wish there was a product that was 100 percent safe and could do 25 percent of what makers of so-called natural human growth hormone precursors claim. I encourage anyone who sells and markets these products to fund no-strings-attached research. In the meantime, it appears that those who feel a benefit from these pricey products most likely have a placebo response.

Last night's appearance by Ricky Gervais on Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show will be talked about for a long time to come -- the comedians pulled no punches when it came to the increasingly brutal late-night battle.
Between jabs at NBC, though, Gervais previewed his upcoming HBO series, The Ricky Gervais Show. The series animates his popular podcasts with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington.
This scene works hilariously well as animation:
Gervais showed this funny clip with an animated Pilkington on Letterman a couple months ago:
Even if you've heard all of the podcasts, The Ricky Gervais Show still looks like it's worth checking out. Catch the premiere Feb. 19 on HBO.

Aaron Falk: Asked Gordon Hayward about the Jimmy Butler…
Aaron Falk: Asked Gordon Hayward about the Jimmy Butler play. His response? "You must be trying to get me fined"
June 26, 2017 | 4:33 pm EDT Update
After the Los Angeles Lakers selected Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft, team President Magic Johnson said Russell played well but stressed that he needed a leader as his point guard. Given that Johnson is one of the greatest ever to play the position, the sting might have really hurt Russell. But his turbulent time in Los Angeles is over, so the only voices Russell are listening to are in Brooklyn. "It's good to be here. I can't really control that, what they say," Russell said Monday. "I'm gone. It's the past. I'm here now. It's irrelevant, honestly."
"I think everybody's going to question what happened in the past with the whole Nick Young so forth," Marks said. "But as I said before, I'm not really concerned about that, because I think if any one of us looked in our little dark secret of closets there would be things that we would be embarrassed about and wish we could take back. So again, I'm going to bet on this group, from Kenny, the coaching staff, they've done a terrific, terrific job of developing these guys."
Jason Quick: After more conversations today with Neil Olshey I can't stress this enough: Blazers are extremely high on Zach Collins. Almost giddy.

Who's afraid of Paul Ryan?
posted at 5:59 pm on February 13, 2010 by CK MacLeod
In the process of responding to Paul Ryan's "Roadmap for America's Future (2.0)," veteran economics writer Robert J Samuelson provides a useful summary for those who don't have the time or inclination to read the proposal in all its generous detail. Along the way, Samuelson summarizes his own views on the subject, while taking it as a given, along with almost everyone in American politics to the right of Paul Krugman, that we have already gone way too far into deficit spending and money-printing, and that existing debt and unfunded future obligations threaten the economic and financial system as we know it.
The by-word is "unsustainable," though even those who use it most frequently, from the President to Senator Judd Gregg, seem to have a hard time explaining what it means in concrete terms. Maybe it's because no one really knows. Maybe that should make it scarier.
Left unspoken but strongly implied in Samuelson's response is that political paralysis is making that worst case scenario seem more and more like the most likely scenario. It's hard to interpret his harsh critique of the Democrats' reaction to Ryan in any other way:
Ryan is trying to start a conversation on the desirable role and limits of government. He's trying to make it possible to talk about sensitive issues — mainly Social Security and Medicare — without being vilified. President Obama recognized that when he called Ryan's plan a "serious proposal." But since then, Democrats have resorted to ritualistic denunciations of him as pillaging Social Security and Medicare. Legitimate debate becomes impossible. If Democrats don't like Ryan's vision, the proper response is to design and defend their own plan. The fact that they don't have one is a national embarrassment.
Samuelson doesn't spell things out, but the implications of that paragraph are stark. Since the Democrats remain in power, if not exactly in "control," an inability to engage in a "legitimate debate" seems rather worse than embarrassing. It would suggest that no coherent and meaningful response to looming national bankruptcy will be possible anytime soon. It further suggests that, at best, we'll continue to get posturing, positioning, empty talk, and tinkering around the edges – until the day (the weeks, the months, the years) that financial chaos forces us to act in desperation.
Kim Strassel is even more critical of the Democrats for how they've responded to Ryan, but she stresses that other Republicans can't afford to stand aside, figuratively holding his coat:
Should Republicans take back the House this year, or the White House in 2012, they will own giant deficits and runaway entitlements. Reality will force choices. They will either have to embrace politically tough ideas like those included in Mr. Ryan's plan, or flail through, doing nothing or succumbing to bigger government.
The longer the GOP hides or runs from those reforms, the harder it will be to embrace them later. Instead of spending so much time telling the press that Mr. Ryan's road map is not the "official" GOP plan, the party would be better off asking themselves why it isn't. If Mr. Obama is so eager for a debate about who is more serious about the country's future, they should give it to him.
If only they were ready to do so.
Samuelson believes that the solution will eventually require both sides to give on the positions that have defined them for a generation or more. "Any sound proposal," he asserts, "would include greater tax increases than conservatives like and greater spending cuts than liberals like." It's of course no coincidence that the two positions also define the dysfunctional consensus that many believe has brought us to this point: More services and ever-rising disbursements, but relatively low taxes, hence structural deficits, alongside a hope that economic growth or clever financing (or clever financing made to look like economic growth) can make up the difference – 'til kingdom come.
If Samuelson, Strassel, and all of the other unsustainable-ists are right, then kingdom's just about here. Yet conservatives seem set to resist any "taxes for cuts" compromise. As long as they perceive themselves already on the way back to power, they have little political reason to accept the Samuelson alternative. Even Ryan's audacity – not just touching the famous "Third Rail" of American politics but hopping up and down on it – doesn't extend to any open embrace of revenue enhancements except very quietly through the backdoor – via a radically simpler and presumably less loophole-ridden tax code.
Many conservatives will continue to insist that there is a classic "supply side" exit ramp from fiscal crisis (lower taxes and restored high growth quickly leading to higher revenues). I'm not here to declare that position wrong, but perhaps we can acknowledge that Samuelson might still be right about the politically easiest and, on current terms, most likely path: A typical high level, bipartisan, commission-adjudicated compromise that merely requires cooperation from the left, rather than total victory. This path of least resistance is probably what waiting for a worsening crisis or banking on business-as-usual implies (which isn't to say that it will work very well). On the other hand, if conservatives reject this middle way, yet also expect to re-gain and hold credibility on debt and deficits – or, if worse comes to worst, cope with ahead-of-schedule financial collapse – then the alternatives to Ryan's Roadmap generally consist of even more radical measures, leaving even less excuse to be afraid of the discussion.
If the rise of the Tea Party – whose key national advocate Sarah Palin has been unrestrained in her praise of Ryan – is any indication, the people may be a lot readier to think and act anew than most of our politicians, in either party. The perceived failure of the Democrats to lead may be handing the Republicans an epochal opportunity not just to win elections, but to change the terms of our national discussion. In that sense, making it possible to look at Ryan's Roadmap in the political light of day, to face its implications squarely and even think beyond them, might be a greater and more important accomplishment than taking back congress and even the White House.

Partly Cloudy
Kroger logo
CANTON, Mich. (WXYZ) - Several workers fell ill early this morning after carbon monoxide was detected inside the Kroger store in Canton Center on Ford Road .
Michcon, a company of DTE Energy, was on the scene and discovered a leak in the heating unit on the roof of the store. This lead to the carbon monoxide getting inside.
The broken heating unit was turned off and is being repaired.
The store was closed during the early hours, but is now open after it was aired out.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/7/2014 (1077 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
After ominous clouds in the sky for much of late yesterday, clear skies are a welcome sight.
Brandon is in store for sun and a high of 25ºC this afternoon, Environment Canada says. The UV Index will hit 9, which is considered very high, althogh northwest winds are also expected, at 30 km/h.
Winds will die down tonight, as temperatures drop to 11ºC.
Sun continues tomorrow, with a high of 24ºC, but there will be cloudiness starting in the early afternoon and then a few showers late in the afternoon. There's the risk of a thunderstorm late tomorrow, as winds gust up to 30–50 km/h from the northwest.
Sunday will end the weekend on a sunny but cool note. No clouds are expected, but the high will be just 21ºC.
Monday should see clouds and a high of 20ºC, but temperatures recover after that.
Tuesday will be sunny, with a high of 24ºC. Then Wednesday also sunny, with a high of 28ºC.
At this point, Thursday is predicted to be sunny, with a high of 30ºC.
The normal high for this time of year is 26ºC; the normal low is 13ºC.
The coldest it's ever been in Brandon on a July 11 was 2.8ºC, in 1941.
On this date in 1936, Brandon recorded one of the hottest temperatures ever in Canada, a scorching 43.3ºC. The modern record is a modest 32.9ºC, from 2012.

As the double 00's, or the Aughts, or whatever we want to call this decade winds down, them media types are making their lists.
Well, back in 2000, we released a little record called Heartbreaker and hoped it would sell 7500 copies. I bet Ryan we'd sell 20,000. It did better than that and, beyond the vagaries of the retail landscape, it has lasted as an artistic acheivement. As such, several folks are naming it in their BEST OF THE DECADE summaries.
- Paste Magazine puts it at #23 in its Top 50 List
- Emusic has it at #46 on their list
- Uncut Magazine in the UK put it at #9!
If you haven't already, check out what the fuss is all about. During the month of December, the CD can be had for $9.50 during our Holiday Blowout Sale.

Choosing a Scrapbook Theme
by Susie Cortright
The scrapbooking industry has taken papercrafting to an entirely new level in recent years, and that means there is an amazing amount of tools, papers, textures, and embellishments to choose from. But all of these choices can make even the most inspired scrapbooking artists feel a bit paralyzed.
It's helpful to choose a theme for your albums and mini albums. Doing so can help you stay focused, and it can help reduce the tendency to buy more products than you'll actually use.
Here are a variety of scrapbooking themes to choose from. Choose one or two themes to work with at any given time, and enjoy the process of preserving your memories for generations to come.
Annual Scrapbooks.
Create one album each year, with one 2-page spread for each month. This is a great way to stay up-to-date, without feeling pressured to scrapbook every photograph.
Significant Life Events.
Of course, you'll want a wedding album, as well as an album spotlighting your other shining moments.
Have one album going for each child, starting with those first ultrasound photographs. Don't forget to record all of the significant events, including a child's first tooth, first haircut, first day of school, etc.
If your child or other family member is particularly interested in sports, have a running sports album going. Include team photos, rosters, and significant achievements. Record your children describing big games in their own words.
The Hero Scrapbook.
This is the place for the certificates, awards, and newspaper clippings for all members of your family. You could also do an album along the theme of "Good Deeds We've Done" and "Things We Are Grateful For."
About Me album.
Imagine the joy of future generations as they learn about your favorite books, recipes, TV shows, hobbies, and - most importantly - your life philosophy. Record all the things that make you, you.
School Years Album.
Create a new layout for each year of school. Ask your children to sign their name each year and include a photo taken on the first and last day of school. Also include a copy of the child's school schedule, a photo of their teacher and significant achievements throughout the school year.
Have an ongoing scrapbook for each holiday celebration. Bring it out with yourholiday decorations after Thanksgiving and enjoy adding to it during the festivities. For many families, scrapbooking is a fun family tradition in itself.
Scrapbooking club kits can also help you to work inside themes. Some such clubs send pre-coordinated supplies according to new themes each month, including patterned papers, cardstock, ribbons, journaling prompts, stickers, and other fun embellishments, which provides inspiration for some great projects.
No matter what theme you are currently working on, the key to keeping it fun is to remember that not every photo needs to be scrapbooked. (That's what photo albums are for, after all.) Choose the events and photographs and stories that are particularly significant and enjoy creating lasting memories for generations to come.

Jake (Cedric the Entertainer) is a seemingly regular guy who, after suffering a knock to the head, becomes convinced he is an undercover agent.
It is difficult to fathom what the director and writers were thinking when they embarked on the treacherous road to this catastrophe of a spy comedy.
If they aimed to send up the Bourne trilogy's amnesia-based plot, the team have failed miserably. If they set out to make a jolly crime caper with a larger-than-life central character, they once again have missed the mark - with heinous imprecision.
Laughs, it seems, are considered completely irrelevant throughout, Cedric The Entertainer as the titular Cleaner is consistently unfunny and the likes of Lucy Liu and Nicollette Sheridan can't do anything to stop the rot.

Compare KM900 Arena Deals
The LG Arena KM900 has just about every feature under the sun; whether the obvious compromises that have had to be made mean it is jack of all trades but master of none is a valid concern. A touch sensitive 3-inch screen utilizing capacitive technology dominates over the whole front with 480 x 800 WVGA resolution resolution.
This is uber-touch control: a finger sweep moves you smoothly through an array of home screens; the slightest vibration confirms you have made contact. A 3D user interface comprises four home screens in a cube arrangement: a sweep gets you between application shortcuts, multimedia, contacts and widgets.
With the handset swivelled round longways, the Arena's accelerometer twists the screen. There is a "floating image gallery: photo thumbnails sit in a carousel that you can flick through.
Internet browsing is fast thanks to HSDPA technology; there is Wi-fi and Bluetooth and a standard 3.5 mm headset jack (and an FM transmitter, so you can send the audio to a car stereo system, for example). It plays DivX and Xvid files as well as all popular music formats. A 5 megapixel camera comes with photo geotagging with an on-screen dial recreating the settings dial on a "real" camera.
The Arena is small and thin (105.9×55.3×11.95 mm) and lightweight, with 8 Gbytes' internal memory and a microSD card slot.
Battery life is rated at 30 hours' MP3 playtime and generally considered an improvement on those in other LG models.

Easy Installation Of Little Shades
The primary drawback to small shades is that they are not airtight and they do not provide sufficient warmth. Their main feature, nevertheless, is to help alleviate problems with sunlight and they attempt feat very we... Ipad Mini Case includes more concerning the meaning behind it.
Little blinds are a good way to manage glare and sun attack, are easy to perform and provide maximum privacy while maintaining a pleasing look. For the delight of numerous homeowners, little shades can be used along with various other window treatments.
The key problem to little blinds is that they are not airtight and they don't provide adequate warmth. Their main function, however, would be to help alleviate problems with sunlight and they accomplish this feat well. It is important to understand that not each one is created equally, when choosing mini blinds. In reality, they're designed using three basic resources, including plastic, metal and wood. Of all three, plastic is the least costly while aluminum offers the largest selection of color and may be custom sized. Wood little shades are the most expensive of the materials and, just like aluminum, they could be custom styles and are available in various different tones.
When measuring for tiny blinds, a person must first determine their position. For instance, inside mounting provides a more custom appear-ance while outside mounting promotes increased daylight get a grip on. For inside rising, the width between the areas which will feature supports have to be tested. After writing the narrowest dimension of the center, top and bottom, the length from the top inside housing to the sill should be tested. If growing is to be on the outside, the entire size of the coverage area should be measured. To check up additional info, please have a view at: ipad mini 3 cases.
After the region has been calculated and the small blinds purchased, installation must be a bit of cake. Installation will begin by removing the window end from the top the main window. Next, the brackets that accompanied the mini blinds will have to be attached to the side window housing at-the top. With this stage, two to three screws should be used per bracket. The shades are then willing to be slid in to the supports. Once in position, the mini blinds may be secured by putting the end caps on the brackets.
For some, the installation of small shades is an easy task. To get one more perspective, please have a gander at: ipad mini 3 cover. But, for all those who don't want to undertake this task or who just do not have the time, a professional home repair specialist will be the simplest way to make sure correct installation. As a result of convenience of the task and the truth that the small blinds already are ordered, the expense of installation must be small..

Ever since me and Max were adopted by our Mommy and Daddy they were always home. Sure they had a few classes but they were home most of the time, and when they weren't I would just sleep. But now they're both out of school and are (yuck) lawyers they're out all day! My Mommy keeps telling me that she's got really good hours for a lawyer but whatever. I mean, what am I supposed to do with Max all day? there are only so many fights we can have per day you know...and Max sleeps so much it's like being home all alone!
The past two nights were hell! I felt like I had to go to the litterbox every 5 minutes! After a while I decided to just camp out next to it so I wouldn't have to walk back and forth. The worst part is, nothing is coming out! My mommy looks so concerned I wish I could tell her what was wrong, but I'm feeling so sick right now...
Then mommy decided to take me to the vet. I think she did some research online and said something about me having crystals. And she was right! She took me to the vet and the doc gave her these black pellets to use as litter so he could test my pee. Well the results confirmed it -- I have crystals. The vet gave me a shot of anti-inflammatory and antibiotics, and put me on an IV. He gave 10 pills of antibiotics and some weird food for me to eat for a month.
I think I'm feeling better. Thank god my mommy caught it on time. My brother Max is fine. For some reason I'm always the one getting sick... oh well. The doc also said I had to lose 4 pounds. 4 POUNDS!!
