He even went on a ski trip to Zermatt, Switzerland, that Madoff had arranged.
Thus we had a most reasonable expectation of reaching the Stockje that evening, and Zermatt early the next morning.
There were some fellows playing lawn-tennis at the hotel at Zermatt.
I said a number of other things before the day was over, but we managed to get back to Zermatt without interference.
We were approaching Zermatt; consequently, we were approaching the renowned Matterhorn.
The reader has just seen what a man who undertakes the great ascent from Zermatt to the Riffelberg Hotel must experience.
A walk from St. Nicholas to Zermatt is a wonderful experience.

The graveyard in Zermatt occupies only about one-eighth of an acre.
A stronger and more experienced party would undoubtedly have reached 280 Zermatt without misfortune.

WHILE the country has taken a step ahead to introduce sign language at the University of Swaziland, there is a need to incorporate it into the school syllabus as well. Senator Tom Mndzebele said he would speak to Minister of Education and Training Wilson Ntshangase to have sign language introduced in schools. The senator said this during the official opening of the Southern African Regional Roundtable Meeting of the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) at Esibayeni Lodge yesterday. The workshop was sponsored by the Open Society Initiative of Southern Africa (OSISA) department of Language Right Fellow Programme. The programme has 10 member countries including Swaziland, Angola, Botswana, Malawi and Mozambique, among others. The meeting discussed issues of interest for the deaf, including programmes and activities to ensure compliance with the World Federation of the Deaf protocol. Other issues that were brought to deliberations were the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as well as the Sign Language research.Senator Mndzebele said everybody in the country should take it upon themselves to learn sign language. He pointed out that the country would normally hold gatherings at chiefdom and tinkhundla levels, however, no sign language interpreter would be provided.ableHe observed that the language barrier started at the family level, where family members were not be able to communicate with a deaf child. "There are a lot of problems encountered by deaf people in the country. Even when a deaf child is born, problems emerge as the parents cannot communicate with the child. It is painful to be part of a family and can't communicate. "The same thing happens when the child has to go to school. Teachers in local schools are not trained in sign language," he said. The senator also observed that deaf people also faced discrimination even when looking for jobs. He said most employers would look at their disabilities instead of looking at their abilities. "Employers forget that deaf people also have needs and families just like hearing people," he said. OSISA Professor Lazarus Miti explained that the organisation was supporting the production of sign language dictionaries in different countries including Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and recently, Swaziland. The process has just started in the country under the Humanities department at the University of Swaziland and is expected to be complete after three years.
Red Cross to award excelling pupils
The Baphalali Swaziland Red Cross will embark on a field visit this morning, which will see the awarding of outstanding OVC pupils in their academic performances within the seven schools supported by society and Celebration of the African Child.This will mark the end of the Southern African Region OVC Working group meeting which started Wednesday at Happy Valley, Chairperson of the Red Cross Fundraising Committee Dr Thandiwe Dlamini revealed.Dlamini represented Red Cross National President Bongani Dlamini during the official opening of the workshop.value "I greatly value the work that has been done by government and other organisations in promoting the welfare of children in Swaziland. "As an organisation, we have found it within our jurisdiction to support orphaned and vulnerable children through educational, medical, psychological, food and rehabilitation support," she said.
Ex-volunteer launches scholarship fund for Malkerns schoolgirl
AN English volunteer who came to Swaziland in 2005 has launched a scholarship fund to help a girl from Malkerns Valley go to boarding school.Georgina-Kate Adams spent a month volunteering with All Out Africa when she was 18. She has been sponsoring the primary education of a young girl who was eight years-old when she met her. She returned for Easter to visit the young girl. Adams took the girl, who is now 15 to an interview for boarding school. Remarkably, she was awarded a place at Sisekelo High School in Big Bend.Adams has launched a fund-raising project called The Seed Africa to help pay the girl's fees. She hopes to raise enough money to allow the young girl to fulfill her dream of becoming a medical doctor. workingNow 25-year-old and working as a journalist in the UK, Georgina-Kate has teamed up with Gone Rural boMake and the All Out Africa Foundation to promote the initiative in Swaziland. "Over the last seven years, it's been a great privilege for me to offer sponsorship through the All Out Foundation. "Now I want to take that one step further by helping the young girl to obtain some skills to make a positive impact in her community. "Educating girls has an important role to play in economic growth and I hope that by giving her this opportunity, we can plant a seed to change the world," she said.

Sorry for long wait
Very sorry to everyone who still reads this that it took me so long to post. I have had so much schoolwork, and I just finished a project that will be 12.5% of my overall grade for a class I'm taking, so I was working overtime to complete that. Anyway, I should be able to start posting again, unless another project like that comes up. (ugh!)
In the time I have been able to get in to play, I beat Big Ben with my Level 22 little brother. It was actually much easier than I thought it would be, and we completed it in 1:06 minutes. My mom was getting annoyed at me and wanted me to get off, so I wasn't even able to turn in the quest before I had to get off. I also finished Stray Cat Strut, and got the exp and training point. Anyone have any idea what I should do with it? I already have the elemental blades and traps, so I won't need it for those. I thinking for my tertiary school to be Death, and I can get exactly up to Feint with all the rest of the Training Points in game that I haven't gotten. What do all my readers think? Comment with your opinions. I got to level 36 by getting into Mooshu and doing quite a few quests, and I'm working on Hametsu Village right now.
Friendly made me a card!
Everyone seemed to love my advice. Thanks Friendly! He made the post about 15 minutes before I looked at his blog, so I was the first Storm person to ask. It's funny to think that somewhere, out there wherever friendly lives, there is a Connor Shadowstalker Wizard101 card... Thanks again Friendly!
Enjoy your monster killing!

Sorry folks, but it looks like my schedule is too busy to get off a post everyday. Sigh. Oh well. (There it is again!)
Anyway, on Sunday when I got my playing time, I went to go help my friend with Counterweight East so he could help me with West and Big Ben and wouldn't have to do them over again. We died in the middle of a run that took us 30 minutes. After another 30 minutes, we went through again and beat it. But I only am supposed to get an hour, and I had to plead with my mom to keep playing. After that, we tried West. In the middle of a 45 minute run, my friend had to get off, and I was left alone to face Bellows and his minions. I was trying to do it quickly, while my friend was still on because he had just left the game up, so he would get credit for beating it to. Well, I was down to 33 experience, and I was about to cast a Pixie, and if Bellows had fizzled, I most likely would have won. He didn't fizzle. URGH! So, my playing time was spent...doing nothing and getting nowhere except helping my friend who could have done it with someone else. Now, William Dragonthorn, (who was the friend) I'm not mad at you, I'm just annoyed that I didn't get anywhere storywise. Actually, I didn't get anywhere anywise. But that's not the point. Oh, I'll just drop it...
On Monday I got sick and I got a free day of playing! HOORAY! Of course, that was the time when none of my friends chose to be on...urk... I know, I know, school. So I wasn't able to do Counterweight East, but I did finish up a lot of side quests and dinged 34! WOOT! ONLY 16 MORE TILL GRAND! I still haven't been able to use Centaur yet from my secondary school, but I don't plan to. At least, not very much. Here's a few pics:
Me getting Trolled. (lol) Is it just me, or does that Troll look exceptionally weird?
Highest damage I have ever done with a Tempest! This was a Myth boss with a Stormblade, Dragonblade, Storm Trap, Windstorm, and 9 pips. Woulda done more too without a pesky Spirit Armor. Stinkin minions... I'll need to add Darkwind to that equation sometime.
Enjoy your monster killing!

Mr Lime has just posted @ bluray that Kino's KILL BABY KILL should be ready in June or July.
This has been quite along time in the works, so hope it's worth it.
No info yet but figured this will need it's own thread & here it is.
There is a Lucas track from 12 years ago that graced the never released Dark Sky DVD, and it's a solid track, but I'd imagine a serious update is required.

Are You Looking for New Vendors?
March 3, 2009
Survey Results for 03/04/2009:
With the new tax credit requirements, our company:
Is ready to go with qualifying products in our line.
Does not have qualifying product, but does not plan to change.
Is looking at new potential vendors to upgrade line.
"We are seeing a surge in business over the last two weeks, increasing exponentially each week, reminiscent of the first energy tax credit for windows in 1979, but then it was storm windows, which more than doubled sales in one year," writes Wayne Gorell, CEO of Gorell Windows & Doors. "I'm hoping this credit does the same. After the horrible last two-and-a-half years, a significant increase in business is welcome."
"I just wanted to report that Vinylmax is sitting pretty these days," writes Laura Doerger-Roberts, VP of sales and marketing for the vinyl window manufacturer. "Most of our mid-grade products with our standard Low E/Argon package meet the 30/30 requirements. We have a triple-pane program that qualifies the products that don't meet it with double pane. This gives us a competitive price advantage over many others who are forced to upgrade to a triple pane or specialized Low E package. Even more interesting, our Sherwood series of Wood Replacement Windows also meet the 30/30 requirement with our standard Low E package. Very, very few wood manufacturers are meeting those numbers and taxpayers have few options for a true wood interior. All of this great news came just in time for the home and garden show season, where our customers have a distinct advantage against their competitors."
Several respondents noted how they were gearing up for the tax credits. "I read your note in the WDWeekly email today and thought I would let you know that Taylor Building Products' Premium Glass division, based in Lancaster, Ohio, is/can transition our customers, or other non Taylor customers, into the new Obama Administration's 30/30 NFRC/Energy Star qualification program now. We could be someone's new vendor," writes Hugh Gordon, a regional sales manager with the company. "We are the only doorlite based company that has domestic manufacturing/processing facilities that can react to the new program rapidly. We are capable of transitioning decorative or commodity doorlite products to the new .30 U-factor now. We have our own CNC cutting, fabrication and tempering operation that can process most doorlite sizes and shapes in- house such that we can give the customer a finished decorative doorlite/sidelite product that meets the new 30/30 code. We do not have to wait on overseas supplies to come in with appropriate low-E products, if available–we are ready to serve now."
In addition to increased business for some, the .30 U-factor/.30 SHGC numbers in the stimulus legislation are also raising some questions among readers. "We are getting some calls. However, we are also confused about the requirement," one distributor writes. "Is the U-factor and SHGC rating only have to do with the glass rating or is the overall window taken into consideration?"
"We have received a significant surge in inquires from window and door manufacturers regarding this subject. Many of the window and door manufacturers' questions are predictably focused on expanding the number of their products that meet the qualification criteria," writes Tim Singel from Guardian Industries Corp.
"Unfortunately, many of the questions also seem to be the result of misinformation," he continues."For example, the qualification criteria (<0.30 / <0.30) are clear, but the law is silent regarding the basis for qualification. Considering the broad industry endorsement of total window performance as the appropriate measure of window U-Factor and SHGC, we are surprised by the number of calls from window manufacturers that have been prompted by a competitive component supplier's assertion that unless a component meets the qualification criteria based on center of glass, the window won't qualify for the tax credits. This statement seems to equate center of glass and total window performance. Isn't that the myth that the NFRC was established to dispel?"
What these readers both point to is the fact the actual language in the stimulus package does not specifically reference how a product's U-factor and/or SHGC is to be determined. As signed into law, it includes only the numbers. In the past, when such details aren't spelled out in the actual legislation, it has been up to the Internal Revenue Service to issue a ruling on the matter—saying something like "as determined per National Fenestration Rating Council standards and procedures." That has not happened yet, but my guess is that NFRC and the Department of Energy–among others–will work to make that happen.
Looking forward, it's clear there is opposition to the new tax credit numbers. AAMA plans to lobby Congress to bring back Energy Star criteria as the qualifier for tax credits, and we've heard from others in the industry who would prefer that approach. Some may charge that the industry is doing this because they want to make it easier to qualify for the tax credits.
It's worth noting, however, that DOE itself went through a lot of effort to come up with regional numbers designed to maximize energy performance based on different climactic needs. The one-size-fits-all approach clearly has drawbacks, and while not scientific, our poll results do indicate many in our industry are ready to sell high performance.
As Gorell concludes in his comments, "If anything we think the performance requirements were too low, not stringent enough to really conserve a lot of energy, which is the real goal of this legislation." But he also sees the value of going with different numbers for different climates. "We would like to have seen a .25, or at the least a .27 number on the U value, and limit the solar heat gain requirement to where it is important, the Southernmost part of the country."

OSCARS: Three All-Male Categories Back to Back
March 7, 2010Where are women in Hollywood? Is anyone noticing that we just had three back to back all-male categories? All the nominees were male - meaning of course that all the winners were male. Best Animated Feature, Best Original Song, Best Original Screenplay. ALL MEN. This is unacceptable. Women are 51% of the population but are losing ground in Hollywood. Even as we celebrate Kathryn Bigelow's "Best Director" nomination, in 2009, women comprised only 7% of all directors, 8% of writers, 17% of all executive producers, and 35 percent of 2009's top films had no female producers at all. As Women's Media Center honors the women who have been nominated for Oscars in 2010, we are working to ensure that women are both recognized for their work and given equal opportunities. Sign on to voice your support for women in film, and we will deliver your signature to the Academy and studio heads to ensure an even longer list of nominees next year! Sign: http://bit.ly/oscarwmc

What are you using your walls for? Just to hold your roof up, and divide your home into rooms? What a waste. With these WallPops removable wall decals, your walls could be organizing your life, remembering your important thoughts, and making your life more beautiful... if you only let them.
is "WallPops WPE0644 Puzzle 4-Piece Organizer Set" also a sticker set with the addition of a stick on corkboard or are they more traditional hung pieces?
If it is stick on, how thick is the corkboard?
These are stick-on, but I dont know how thick the corkboard is.
My question: will these work on my fridge? I think I'd like to stick these on the side of the fridge, which has that fridge-contour surface.
Don't do it. I purchased the calendar and white board and when I moved out of my townhouse they both peeled large chunks of paint off of my wall. I complained to wallpops. They said that it should not have happened unless the paint was new but I had been in the house over 7 months by then so the paint was not fresh. Luckily, I didn't have to pay for the damage done to the wall.
g99 wrote:is "WallPops WPE0644 Puzzle 4-Piece Organizer Set" also a sticker set with the addition of a stick on corkboard or are they more traditional hung pieces?

I bought these last time. The 4 pieces all are stick-on. The 1/4" thick cork board has sticky pads that stick it to the 'white board' sticker you see in the pix. I didn't use it or plan on it. It looked cheap and flimsy - from the Woot posting and upon unboxing. I kept the white board part to use by itself.
That said, I love my set. I use one on the fridge-it sticks great. And the others I use in my office area. I stuck them on the side of Ikea cabinets.
These are pretty fun - we have them at work and they stick wonderfully on glass (...although you could also just whiteboard pen on the glass, hmm...). We have a few on a more bumpy wall and one of them sticks fine while the other is now taped down because otherwise it won't stay up. I'm not sure if that one got peeled off before and now it's less sticky, or what.
The other issue with the ones on the wall is that when we pull them off, there will be a circle-shaped dinginess from erasing the ink and it getting on the wall.
I'm thinking about getting one for cupboards in my kitchen, and possibly a more flat wall at my house. I think the erasing/ink-all-over issue will be alleviated if I get bigger ones and just write toward the middle, being careful about the edges when I erase.
eta: i was wondering about steam because one of the cupboards is over the stove... here's what the overexcited faq says:
Do WallPops work in the bathroom? I am afraid that the steam from the shower will cause them to peel away from the wall.
If you are looking for wall decals for bathroom décor, WallPops are perfect! In fact, I Hate My Bath on the DIY Network used WallPops Malaya Blox in their Historic Style, Modern Luxury episode, totally revamping an awkward bathroom into a beautiful space that included our WallPops wall decals. As long as the WallPops are not getting directly sprayed with water, they will look fabulous in a bathroom setting. For fun bathroom decor ideas, check out our gallery of WallPops bathrooms!

puppymill dog?
Please click here for the answer to this question.
Please read about puppymill dogs and the kennels they come from by clicking on puppies.
* Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota does not maintain or have any affiliation with these sites and is not responsible for any of the content they contain. These sites may contain graphic images which some viewers may find disturbing. RAGOM is not responsible for any of this content and it should be viewed at one's own discretion.
Puppy mills are basically puppy factories. They are in the business of producing litters of puppies to sell to pet stores and brokers for a huge profit. To make the most profit possible, the adult dogs (producers) are kept in very poor to horrendous living conditions, usually in cages or dog sheds which house many dogs together.
At first, most puppy mill dogs are scared of humans and more shy than a normal socialized dog. The perfect family will be gentle and patient with a calm environment. A second dog in the house is very important to help the puppy mill dog learn how to adjust to life outside of the puppy mill. Puppy mill dogs tend to take their cues from the resident dog.
They will probably always be a little more timid in new situations, but with love, patience, socialization and training, they develop self-confidence and are wonderful pets. And for you, helping a puppy mill dog "learn to be a dog" is an incredibly rewarding experience.
Please read the wonderful stories below from the special families that have adopted some of our rescued puppymill Goldens. They are to be applauded for their hard work and dedication in helping these very special dogs.
Lily 02-245
We wanted to adopt a dog who needed special care because we knew our home would be a calm, quiet place. Jo (aka Maryland) moved in 3 1/2 years ago. She came from a backyard breeder but exhibited the same behavior as a puppy mill dog. She needed a companion so Lily, 14 months old from a puppy mill in Missouri, joined us less than a year later. Both girls came to us very skinny, timid, scared of the world and needed to learn to live in a house. Jo stayed on her new dog bed for weeks and Lily chose to hide in corners and under furniture to feel safe. We needed to be very careful when training and working with the girls. Even a firm 'no' would send them crouching to the ground. Slowly, carefully, patiently and quietly we have taught them good dog behaviors. Both girls are very smart, but the learning process has been slower because they were so timid and needed to learn to trust us first. After three years they still exhibit fear of noises, strangers and children, but every day become more outgoing and friendly.
Kurt, Diane, Jo & Lily
Lily and Jo are incredibly loyal, loving and very attached to us. We
believe puppy mill dogs know they are rescued and sense they are
grateful for that. Some of our friends and family wondered why we didn't adopt a
puppy or a more 'normal' dog. Why dogs with so many social problems?
To watch these timid, shy girls blossom into healthy, happy, energetic,
loving, trusting, funny, friendly goldens has impressed even the more skeptical
among our acquaintances. We wouldn't hesitate to adopt another puppy
mill dog. Lily is one of the most affectionate dogs we've ever met. Both
girls are the greatest joys in our life. Jo and Lily will probably never be
the typical golden, they may always have timid behaviors and fears we can't
understand (so often we hear the comment "I've never met a shy golden
before") but to us they are perfect. We didn't know we could fall in
love with dogs, but we have. It has been an honor to be trusted with these
special girls. We look forward to seeing them bloom even more in years
to come.
Kurt B. and Diane K.
Kooper AKA Durango 03-315
"This dog's sorrowful expression and beautiful
face on the RAGOM website fascinated me."
I asked Paul to look at the picture to see if he agreed (RAGOM warns you to remember a dog pictured on the website probably won't be there because the application process takes a while). After waiting for several weeks, going through the application process, and checking the website everyday we finally got the call from the foster home. Paul and I traveled to the cities to see if we were a good match. After the meeting and the wait period - we knew it was the right choice for us.
It was a difficult ride home for Boomer - he was drooling and looked so scared. The foster family advised us about what to expect with a puppy mill dog - and they were right. Boomer didn't move the whole way home (almost 3 hours). Upon arrival to our home, he found the sofa and that became his safe place. Boomer would not get off the sofa without a leash even to eat or drink. He would shake and drool. I would sit on the floor beside his bowl for 20-30 minutes until he got the courage to eat. I would sit on the back step for 15-20 minutes until he would come inside. We just talked to Boomer in soft voices and petted him for long periods of time.
Look at Kooper now!
The steps for the now named Kooper were very small. He still wouldn't take treats. I was thrilled when he would eat two bites of food without backing away from his bowl. Then suddenly one day, Kooper got off the sofa and jumped into Paul's lap. We still don't know why but we were so excited. Over the course of the next few months Kooper continually progressed with small intermittent steps. We could tell he was getting more comfortable (less drooling & shaking). He would get off the couch to play with Paul on the floor. He would go after a tennis ball and had two favorite toys he would select from his basket... We had some backward steps as well. The electrician inadvertently scared Kooper and it took several days for him to leave the sofa again without a lead. Even today, Kooper still bolts to the sofa if a loud noise scares him.
We have had Kooper for almost 15 months now. It has challenges but the list of milestones are growing.
He comes in and out of the house on command, he lets us know when he needs to go out, he really lets
us know when it is time to eat, he warms up to visitors after a short while, he plays with the cats, he gets
up and goes to the bedroom to bed without prompting, he loves treats, he likes his groomer, and loves the
lake. Kooper still has anxiety and fears new things, but these are getting less frequent and he gets over them
quicker. Paul and Kooper play like two year olds - rough and tumble, catch and chase. He loves to play hide
and seek with Paul's feet. He comes to be petted and follows us around the house and yard. We had to have
lots of patience but this dog is fantastic and well worth any effort on our part. RAGOM gave us an opportunity
to provide a home to a worthwhile beautiful dog. We cannot thank them enough. I hope you will consider an
adoption - it is worth all the time and effort!
Joyce, Paul and Kooper

I have honestly never seen personalized wrapping paper. Um, fabulous! They have some really cute ideas on the site on how to personalize it too. I espcially love this. This would be perfect for weddings and the fabric is so preppy and cute. Imagine this ribbon on the gift wrap above. Cute x 10!
I would have loved to have wrapped my bridesmaid's gifts like this.
I love little gable boxes and ones with polka dots are even more fun. I would love to give this as a shower favor.
And, for all of the cute ribbon we will be buying now - this organzing drawer is awesome!
Also on the site, for those entrepreneurs out there, they also sell anything made with fabric, namemaker also makes custom tags for your products.
Enjoy and thanks again, Amy!

Beck uses tangential links to tie Obama to Gaza flotilla incident
Research ››› ››› FAE JENCKS
Glenn Beck purported to link President Obama to the Free Gaza Movement and its recent flotilla by exaggerating his connections to individuals he says are involved in the movement, including William Ayers. Beck went on to claim that while there was no "conspiracy" between Obama and those individuals, "there is coordination" because they "think alike."
Beck links Obama to Ayers, Dohrn, Evans, who he says are "connected" to group behind flotilla
Beck uses Bill Ayers and Code Pink's Jodie Evans to imply that the Obama administration is connected to the Gaza flotilla incident. From the June 1 edition of the Glenn Beck Program:
BECK: The alert now is that Jodie Evans from Code Pink was over in Egypt to deliver humanitarian aid to Hamas-run Gaza, to mark the one-year anniversary of Israel's response, blah, blah, blah. Also, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, both former terrorists with Weather Underground, also joined her in Cairo. They are connected to the Free Gaza Movement, which is the movement that the ship is involved with.
Beck went on to detail purported ties between Obama and Ayers, Dohrn, and Evans.
Beck: "There's no conspiracy theory," Obama, Ayers, Dohrn, and Evans all just "think alike." From the June 1 edition of the Glenn Beck Program:
BECK: Look, it doesn't matter if Barack Obama was tied, you know, to Bill Ayers and Code Pink and Dohrn. It doesn't matter. They all have mutual friends. Have you seen Shore Bank? This is the way it works. They launder people and they keep the ones that just can't be laundered clean at an arms length. But they're still connecting. I'm not saying that Obama is picking up the phone and calling Bill Ayers by any stretch of the imagination. But there is coordination because people think alike. There's no conspiracy theory here, there's none! You don't need a star chamber. They think alike. And they're moving in the same direction. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Beck claims that the connections between Ayers and Obama have not been discredited. Reading from a blog post by Media Matters' Jeremy Holden, Beck stated, "Here's what Media Matters is saying: 'Right-wing efforts to portray Obama as close associates with Ayers and Dohrn have been repeatedly discredited.' When?" Beck producer Stu Burguiere replied: "No they haven't. They just keep saying, 'no, no. He was eight years old when that bombing occur...' That doesn't distance him from Bill Ayers today, that hasn't distanced him. 'He was eight years old when that happened.' And?"
Beck links Evans to Obama because she was a bundler for his campaign. After tying Evans to the Gaza flotilla, Beck and his producer Stu Burguiere linked Evans to Obama on the basis that she was a bundler for the Obama campaign:
BECK: Evans, she's with Code Pink, right? And Stu, was she not a bundler for Obama as well?
BURGUIERE: By the way, confirmed, that was a Politico story that reported that Jodie Evans was a bundler for Obama, meaning that she was raising over $50,000 for the campaign.
Beck urged his listeners to "look for the connections" between President Obama and the group associated with the Gaza flotilla. Discussing the Gaza flotilla, Beck further stated: "Let me tell you how this is going to play out, in my humble opinion. You look for the connections to anybody, anybody, around this President to this group."
Media reports: President Obama does not have close ties with Ayers
New York Times: President Obama and William Ayers "do not appear to have been close." After reviewing the records of a school reform board that connected Ayers and Obama and interviewing "a dozen people who know both men," an October 3, 2008 article reported that friends stated that "Mr. Ayers was never a significant influence" on Obama. The Times further reported:
"The suggestion that Ayers was a political adviser to Obama or someone who shaped his political views is patently false," said Ben LaBolt, a campaign spokesman. Mr. LaBolt said the men first met in 1995 through the education project, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and have encountered each other occasionally in public life or in the neighborhood. He said they have not spoken by phone or exchanged e-mail messages since Mr. Obama began serving in the United States Senate in January 2005 and last met more than a year ago when they bumped into each other on the street in Hyde Park.
NYT: Obama has never "expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers." The Times also concluded that "the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers."
CNN: Obama and Ayers have not had "an ongoing relationship." Following accusations launched by Sarah Palin in October of 2008 that Obama was "palling around with terrorists," CNN investigated the purported friendship between Obama and Ayers. The report found that "there is no indication that Ayers and Obama are now 'palling around,' or that they have had an ongoing relationship in the past three years."
Evans was one of hundreds of bundlers to the Obama campaign
More than 300 bundlers directed more money to Obama's campaign then did Evans. Beck ties Evans to Obama solely on the basis that she was a bundler for the Obama campaign. OpenSecrets.com lists 560 Obama bundlers of $50,000 or more; at least 324 of those bundlers directed more money to Obama than did Evans.

Re: Affordable East Bay community for retired mom?
My mom just moved to Rossmoor, a sort of retiree community on the Walnut Creek / Lafayette border. She loves it. They provide a lot of amenities and there is good access to restaurants in Walnut Creek / Lafayette, Bart to SF for cultural events, etc. Most people own, the homes are co-op and so are priced low but this is offset buy a big buy-in fee and monthly dues. However, many folks do rent there. Technically you can only rent for one year but apparently they don't enforce that if you're a good tenant --- my mom has many friends that have rented in Rossmoor for years and enjoy it. It's probably not for everyone --- among other things it's not a a terribly diverse community --- but my mom loves not worrying about home maintenance and can easily shut the door to leave for trips to see her grandson and children.
Realtor for parents moving to Rossmoor
Sept 2012
My parents are interested in moving to Rossmoor. Looking for recommendations for realtors. Someone not pushy, experienced and communicative. Matt
Pat Trager is a fabulous realtor with lots of experience in Rossmoor. She's warm, personable, attentive to details--overall just a delight to work with. Here's her contact info: Pat.Trager [at] cbnorcal.com 925-216-1448 (cell) 925-831-3371 (office) Janet
For a Rossmoor realtor, I recommend Danny Smith. http://www.rossmoorrealty.com/50/Profile/82397. He knows the market and is very easy to work with. I have worked with him on two occasions and was pleased with results both times. Miriam Schaffer msch
I don't have my people index in front of me, but I can highly recommend Lori Young of Rossmoor Realty. She represents buyers and sellers, she has great people skills including and especially with seniors, but most of all, she will make sure your parents are well represented in every way. As a realtor myself, I am perhaps more sensitive to who's really great in this profession, and I don't mind putting my name to this recommendation. It should be easy to locate Lori online. heidi
I highly recommend Marsha Wehrenberg. She is a real estate agent that sells exclusively in Rossmoor. She is knowledgeable, warm, caring and compassionate. She can be reached at marsha [at] rossmoortoday.com. Her # is 925.787.7625. anon

Re: 78 yr old Jewish father looking to retire in N CAL
I suggest Rossmoor. I know a number of people whose parents moved there and love it. Many activities. Lots of people who are on the go. I don't know whether there is gardening but they do have a picture of a woman gardening on their site. He could volunteer at Heather Farms Gardens which is in Walnut Creek and is a gorgeous place maintained by an army of volunteer gardeners. There are other community gardens too.
My friends are all Jewish. Not everyone is Jewish at Rossmoor, nor are the Jews necessarily religious, but there are Jews. The JCC is not far and they have some movies and cultural activities. It is not far from BART and your dad could go in to Berkeley or over to SF to museums and such.
Take a look at their website: www.rossmoor.com
They have golf and swimming. Dawn
Pleasant place for retired parents?
June 2010
My parents are planning a move to the Bay Area to be closer to us and are looking to buy a home or townhouse. Can anyone recommend a neighborhood that would be an affordable and pleasant place for an active retired couple to live? We live in Berkeley but that is out of their price range - the maximum they can spend is probably about $350,000. They don't necessarily need to be near the city or transport so outlying areas are fine. They are also willing to consider 55+ communities. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Jan
My father moved to Rossmoor last year. The prices there are much cheaper than outside. He picked up a nice 1400 square foot place, 2 bedroom 2 bath for $330K. The places outside that he looked at around $5-600K were small in comparison. There's a significant monthly fee. They have a great repair service--you sign up and they take care of all repairs. Not too expensive, although I forgot how much. The security is great. All the neighbors keep an eye on each other and anyone else, for that matter. The place is buzzing with activity during the day, much more than my bedroom community. At night, it is much quieter. Rossmoor fan
My mother lives in Rossmoor, a senior community (55+) in Walnut Creek. She's very happy there, has lots of friends, and there are activities and trips all the time. It's a very big place, over 6000 residents. The website is rossmoor.com. I recommend your parents check it out. Rebecca

Rossmoor-type housing for active 70-year-olds
May 2004
My parents want to move to either the San Jose area or up here to be nearer to their kids/grandkids. They are in their seventies, very fit, play golf/tennis and socialize a lot. Are there any places besides Rossmoor to look at? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks. Stefanie
My in-laws moved out here from Baltimore last October. They also looked at Rossmore and another-type community up east of Santa Rosa. They ended up purchasing a home in the Del Webb Community in Lincoln (about 30 mins NW of Sacramento off I-80.) It's a 55- plus community with lots to do (rec center, golf, tennis organized trips, etc.) Though they're farther away from the Bay Area than they'd like to be, they liked the community and affordability of the housing so much better that it made the distance worth it for them. Having looked at houses in their community and in Rossmore, I can attest that the difference is significant and makes Lincoln worth considering. jc
December 2001
We have been looking into senior housing and the different types available. The Rossmoor housing in Walnut Creek sounds like it gears towards various age groups and levels of care, one buys their own housing/condo and it has it's own facilities such as buses within the housing complex, lots of activities, etc. Does anyone have any experience/opinions (good or bad) about Rossmoor? This facility seems different than the usual. Hana
My mother lives in Rossmoor and loves it. She is an active 64 year old (she still works in the financial district every day!) and bought a co-op several years ago. She completely gutted it and remodeled to suit her needs and taste. While she does not take advantage of many of the activities, many of her friends do. We have played golf there several times and it's great. She takes my son swimming and he has a great time. She travels quite a lot so the fact that she can literally lock her door and leave for weeks at a time is great for her. It would not be a good place if you require assistance with your day to day care and or activities. It is definitely geared toward self-sufficient seniors, there are no meals provided. Hope this helps. Kristi
My in-laws live in Rossmoor in the Waterford which is a four story condo complex. You own your condo and pay a monthly fee which provides weekly maid service, one meal daily (lunch or dinner in the dinning room), insurance etc. Folks who move to the Waterford are typically looking for more services (dinning room, maid service on site, etc). You must be able bodied to move in and it has no nursing home facilities. You still have access to all of the other amenities in Rossmoor, bus, pools, golf, community centers, etc...My in-laws like the Waterford because it meets their needs- they no longer want to cook every meal, the dinning room provides a daily social outlet, they own there own unit, they use the other facilities as wanted. We go out with my 3 year old and swim, feed the ducks, take walks, eat in the dinning room. My husband and in-laws met with a realtor from Rossmoor Realty and looked at everything - private homes, town houses and the Waterford condos. The Waterford was the best choice for them. Mary
My grandfather and his wife lived in Rossmoor and really loved it. There are hiking trails, clubs for all manners of interests, free shuttle buses to the supermarket and BART, and a lot of interesting folks living there. My grandfather swam laps every day in one of their pools, Edda was in the folkdancing and hiking clubs, and they had friends who were retired psychiatrists, psychologists, anaesthesiologists, artists, episcopal priests... Edda continued to commute to work on BART as a paralegal in Oakland for many years, and volunteered to deliver meals for shut-ins. They took BART into San Francisco for their season subscriptions to the symphony and ACT, and to Oakland for the ballet. All the maintenance of their place was taken care of. They were crazy about the place until the days they died. When their friends grew too old or ill to care for themselves, there was assisted living right outside the gates... Walnut Creek has a terrific arts complex. My mother often regrets that she sold their coop; she wishes she could winter there. Christine

SHI continued growth and expansion in 2014
SHI's 25th year was a momentous one, and not just because we celebrated our silver anniversary; in 2014, SHI broke the $6 billion revenue plateau and grew to more than 2,800 employees for the first time.
SHI's revenue growth was driven significantly by each of SHI's sales divisions, with the Corporate and Public Sector segments expanding the fastest at 30 percent and 18 percent year over year, respectively. To keep pace with our growth, SHI invested heavily in our workforce, adding 350 employees to the global team, as well as in real estate and infrastructure through space acquisitions in the U.K., Texas, and New Jersey.
CEO Thai Lee acknowledged this success in a press release issued yesterday, saying, "Our consistent, substantial growth is a direct result of our close partnerships and our team's unmatched ability to help customers select, deploy, and manage their technology. Our success has given us the opportunity to build our team in a way that will drive growth and deliver a superior level of customer service." Continue Reading…

SHIG (286) Wasilla, Alaska | July 9, 2013
My favorite stop while on a 7 hr layover at DIA. Lets get the bad out of the way first since it has already been stated before. The location is outside of security and took planning. Although Denver security checkpoint is probably one of the most efficient I have ever passed through. They had an amazing selection for being in an airport with seven of their regular line and three seasonals. The bartender was very knowledgeable along with provided inputs on what beers I might enjoy. They have samplers and you get a deal on 3 at a time. Well worth the stop if you have the time.
Skinnyviking (247) Copenhagen, Denmark | October 4, 2016
Large room with light wood furniture. Tables are standing pretty close to one another. Saw the bar but did not go their as the waitress came quickly, we ordered our beer, got them quickly, paid for them quickly. Friendly and pleasant service. Did not eat. Beers fresh and good albeit not world class. Two beer lists.
ARH (99) Chicago, Illinois | September 26, 2014
The bad news is its in an airport. Its outside of security, so anyone can visit it, but its very "hustle bustle," noisy, and a bit cramped. The good news though is its in the airport, which means if youre in Denver and cant make it out to Boulder, you can at least sample Boulder Beer on the way in or out. The servers are friendly, energetic, and enthusiastic about beer. They have an alright selection - about on par with what youd expect from a tap house. They do offer food, but I didnt partake this time around. The value aspect is tough, you are stuck with airport prices, but its not too painful if you keep in mind that you are at an airport. I give this a fairly high overall rating just because its hard to achieve the taproom feel within an airport, but they do a pretty darn good job.
gnoff (643) Mölndal, Sweden | April 14, 2014
Back again on April 3, 2014.
One beer while waiting for my mate to pick me up from the airport. Always seem to be plenty of people in here, but not so much it gets crowded. Beer selection decent, service good, prices (of course) high.
Visited first time on on Oct 5, 2012.
Sat in the bar and sampled three of six draught beers that was on where I sat waiting for a friend. Rather pricy, but expected at an airport. Cool that it is located outside of the security area. Nice fast service, didnt eat.

Sat at the bar to sample three more beers I didnt have the fist visit or for my short visit to the Boulder Beer brewery earlier that day. Good service once more. Didnt eat this time around either. Nice place for a few samples when at the airport. Again, fairly expensive samples.
merc7186 (208) North Tonawanda, New York | November 18, 2013
Visited: 10-13-13 Ambiance: Typcial airport bar with small tables and a bar that can hold about 10 patrons Service: The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the beers. Selection: They had about 8-10 taps of Boulder beer. I dont expect more from an airport bar, so I was satisfied Value: $7 pint for Boulder beer...high but consider airport inflation into it. Overall, a nice parting gift as some airports dont have brewpubs within, so Ill take it any day

Located mere feet from the metal detectors, this place almost makes you forget youre in an airport bar. They had 10-12 BBC beers on tap including seasonals. In fact it was a slightly better selection than you could get at the brewery taproom. The service was pleasant though lacking in beer knowledge with one bartender claiming Sam Adams Boston Lager was a brown ale. Still for a airport bar it aint bad with even the draft prices semi-reasonable.

Quick stop during a layover onto vacation in Cali. Well I could say where it is located but it seems like everybody else has, so Im going to waste more time writing this sentence than just saying where it is located. Didnt eat, just had a beer and left. Nice spot though. They have their own beers here, which is to be expected, with your typical airport prices. Check one place off for Colorado.
NachlamSie (772) Denver, Colorado | January 25, 2013
Theyve done pretty well for a bar inside an airport. Its almost big enough to make it feel like a stand alone restaurant. There is a surprising amount of taps available. They didnt skimp on the selection. Its before security which is kind of cool, unless of course youre here on a layover like I was on my prior visit to DIA.
sonnycheeba (176) Federal Hill, Baltimore, Maryland | January 10, 2013
Typical airport bar, so not much to look at. Outside security, so you have to factor that in. 10 Boulder Brewing Co. beers, so not a bad place if you havent rated their stuff. What you see is what you get.
brokensail (1362) Dublin, California | August 15, 2012
Located outside of security at the airport. Stopped here during a layover as it was the only thing open after I left the New Belgium Hub. About 10 "house" beers on tap, most of which were mediocre. Looked like average at best food. Prices were on the high side. Wouldnt recommend going here unless youre stuck at the airport.

LaSoaphia QuXazs Poems
To Work Or Not To Work.
Every day can be lovely if you open your mind
Face life as it is, do your best and unwind.
Some of us lives for work and be important,
Some of us spend time doing nothing for them work is unpleasant.
It is not the work, but what we learn through where we are now,
How we communicate with others & what we learn of life anyhow.
So, work hard or do nothing, your place is there to learn the secret,
Preferably with peace, happiness, easy living wish & positive deep-set.
Then you will find life's easy street,
You work only if you want and will find life ...
Humanity always wishing for another thing
As in winter for coming of the spring.
Summer they are tired of the heat,
Or when it rains they want to stop the beat.
Always praying (begging) for peace or for the ill,
More money when they blow theirs to cover their bill.
Always something what they don't have yet,
Seldom appreciating the blessings or the beautiful sunset.

Top Email Marketing Firms 2012
Email marketing is one of the oldest tools of Internet marketing and one of the most economically viable methods of increasing sales conversion. However, over the years, people have developed the notion that spam killed email marketing and if it didn't, then blogs, Twitter and all the other methods we use to communicate online have killed it. In other words, they believe that email marketing is so outmoded.
However, that's not true. Businesses are continuing to use email marketing because it not only works but also the ROI is very high. The DMA (Direct Marketing Association) has put email marketing's ROI for 2011 at $40.56 for every $1 invested. And, though the ROI is predicted to fall to $39.40, email marketing will still account for $67.8 billion in sales worldwide.
A Forrester report also reveals that 88% of B2C firms and 71% of B2B firms are using email marketing and 43% of marketers believe that email marketing will become more effective over the next three years.
Indeed, email marketing is an effective tool for not only letting your customers know about your business, services and products but also it can help you target your customers. Most importantly, a well-orchestrated email marketing campaign can help build relationships, loyalty and trust between the business and its suppliers/customers.
However, unimaginative email marketing will not work. One needs to understand one's needs well and plan well. While email promotions and offers work best for generating immediate action such as sales, downloads, inquiries, registrations, etc, informative email newsletters and other emails will help drive customers to offline stores and events, build awareness, contribute to brand development, and strengthen relationships.
Why hire an email marketing firm?
Prima facie, it may appear that writing content for email marketing and emailing the content do not require much skill, but, in reality, it is not so, because it takes professionals to create a proper email marketing campaign that will captivate customers and translate into results.
On the other hand, any poorly planned email campaign will result in a loss of professional credibility at best, or a slew of people unsubscribing from the email list at worst.
Hence, even the biggest businesses outsource major email marketing firms.
Indeed, only a professional email marketing firm will ensure that you are sending the best to your list of subscribers - content that will have your customers coming back for more.
An email marketing firm knows the trends and tricks of captivating the readers, ensuring that your email marketing capmpaign is defined by subtlety and finesse. More importantly, these firms are all armed with tools that can track readers' habit so that they can modify the email marketing campaign accordingly to fall in line with your sales goals.
An email marketing firm generally offers all or any of the following tools and services:
> Email marketing strategy
> Vendor selection
> Account set-up
> Template design
> Campaign creation & execution
> Database development
> Deliverability recommendations
> Analytics & reporting
> Integration with CRM and other technologies.
However, it's important to choose a reputed email marketing firm because only a reputed firm will observe the email marketing legal compliance laws, which includes providing opt-in and opt-out facilities to readers, will know when not to blanket bomb a client base, and most importantly, will not build your database using purchased lists, as this is against Can-Spam laws.
In this regard, IBTimes Tech & Trend has compiled a list of Top email marketing firms of 2012 after sieving through tons of names. These email marketing firms have one thing in common - they are all reputed; offer premium quality services, which their clients can vouch for; and delivers the results without charging you an arm and a leg.

I would love to get some feedback on the design of the theater area of our basement project. There will likely be some ambient light during sports viewing and the ability to go completely black for movie viewing. Currently it is an unfinished basement and I will be DYI over the winter months. Nothing has been built/purchased yet so if there are specific suggestion about alternatives to the electronics that I currently plan to use that would also be appreciated.
Projector: BenQ w1070 (EDIT-purchased a Panasonic AE8000 projector instead).
Speakers: 5.1 (Edit - 11.2): three Polk RTI-265 (EDIT-purchased pre-owned Klipsch RF-25 and RC-35, replacing tweeters) in-wall for the front stage with the R and L in the short angled walls and the center behind a DYI AT screen if I can find one large enough (Spandex?) (Edit - built in center channel below a DYI flexi-white painted with SF v2.5 3.0), Polk PSW 505 subwoofer (Edit - DYI marty sub x2 with Stero Intergity 18" drivers), and probably just use a pair of Polk Monitor 30's I already have for the rear (Edit - RBH in-wall and in-ceiling for high front surrounds, regular surrounds plus two zones for the videogame and pool table areas.)
AVR: Dennon AVR E400 (Edit - holding out for X4000 to drop in price). Plus inuke 3000DSP amp for subwoofers.
To give some scale to the picture the viewing distance will be about 12' from the two sofas, and the screen size will be about 165" diagonal, mainly since we are used to watching a 150" screen at a 11' viewing distance in our family room so I wanted to go a little bigger this time. The family room setup we currently use is an Optima HD65 projector with elitic motorized screen (1.1 gain HC grey I believe) with Polk RTI 70's and CS400I center. I am trying to upgrade the AV a bit this time around but still have a tight budget to get the whole basement finished.
After laying out the the shower in the small bathroom we found we could push back the angled walls and gain about 7" in circulation space on each side between the angled walls and the sofa. Updated views are attached. I also did a little more research on screen material and found that Carl's Place SheerWeave is an acoustically transparent fabric that comes in large enough sizes. I am not sure about the fabric texture though.
Thanks Dradius! I was planning on getting a Polk 505 12" subwoofer for bass but I recently saw a couple of very negative posts so I am not sure now. I understand that the subwoofer does not need to match the rest of the speaker system. Any suggestions? I would consider a DYI Sub or two maybe build something into the angled walls?
Check out my just over $5K theater build thread
neverfinished's neverfinished theater
I was told my budget is 'as low as possible' which I consider to be as low as possible to achive a sound as good or better than what we are used to (old polk system is described in first post). I have a speaker budget penciled in at $1,000 and that is for R, L, C, and the sub. I have never built speakers before but I am intrigued by stetching my $$ a little bit further with a DYI inwall kit.
(Sorry, just now realizing you mentioned the Polk sub in your OP. I read it a couple of times but my brain didn't want to pick up on that part lol)
Thanks Dradius. After more research I was afraid that I was undersizing the sub portion of the speaker system so now I am looking at a pair of this DYI set http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-15-dvc-subwoofer-and-cabinet-package--300-7098 and building them into an alcove in the angled walls flanking the seating.
Be sure to get a parts-express coupon code too, as I'm pretty sure they are easy to find and can save a couple bucks
I have not purchased a sub yet, thanks for the advice on the better option, I will definitely consider that. I may just start with one and see if I really need to add the second one.
I did score a pair of Klipsch RF-25 floor standing speakers and an RC-35 center speaker from craigslist. I set them up alongside my Polks for a few scenes of Star Trek and they were pretty comparable, I thought the horns and strings in the soundtrack were a little more pronounced in the Klipsch. Older speakers but I think that they will be a much more legitimate front stage than the in-walls I was considering.
That makes perfect sense to just start with one sub. I have two 19" drivers in 6' tall sonotubes, so I get ahead of myself sometimes when it comes to bass. Hey look at it this way, if you buy one Titanic for $240 you're "saving" $160 vs. buying two of the other driver kits
Makes sense to me, if only my wife understood that logic!
So lets say I go with the Titanic...what would you recommend for powering it?
You have a decision to make when it comes to powering it... do you pay ~$380 for something like a Behringer EP4000 that will power it with no problem AND push a second sub if you ever add one, or do you pay ~$250 for a plate amp that will power it, but won't push a second driver? If you go the plate amp route then add another driver later on, you end up with $500 in 2x plate amps that probably aren't as good as a $380 Behringer. Another option is to scratch the Titantic and go back to your original Dayton driver, which doesn't handle as much power, so you could get away with a cheaper plate amp and cheaper driver/box kit. Like most things, it comes down to how much money you want to spend.
1x $200 kit
1x $210 500w Dayton plate amp
So $410 gives you a decent little sub kit that will be easy to build. Will definitely provide some bass, but whether or not you'll be satisfied is up to your tastes.
1x $240 Titanic
1x $380 EP4000
So $620 gives you a really solid driver and amp, room to expand to another driver for an additional $240, but the hassle of building the boxes (of course it isn't a hassle for everyone, I enjoy it)
2x $200 kits
2x $210 500W Dayton plate amps
So $840 gives you a couple decent subs with fairly nice plate amps. Easy to build using the kits, no hassle.
2x $240 Titanics
1x $380 EP4000
So $860 gives you two nice drivers with a great amp. Will shake your room for sure.
I will be using a 148" scope screen and with my calculations it looked like I need at least a 1.8 gain screen. I am getting the Da-lite high power because of that. This is with the JVC RS46 projector.
Thanks for the amp and sub options, I think I have decided not to build the sub into the walls so I have some time to consider which direction to go. I had liked the idea of having all the speakers built in but have read that you should keep the sub position flexible to find the best spot (or spots) for your room. FYI the parts express rep recommended the SPA 1000 or SA 1000 for the Titanic and said that they should have a knock down box for the new driver soon.
pcarfan, That sounds like a great projector. I have changed the screen design a bit. With the larger front speakers I did not want to waste all the space behind an acoustically transparent screen. I just don't have the room depth to move the wall out that far. Instead the plan is to have the tower speakers behind AT panels on each side of the screen and the center in the 'stage' below the screen and the 'stage' will also have an AT front. The screen will be curved drywall 13' wide and 7'4" tall 180" dia. (16:9). The BenQ w1070 has a manual focus without the lens memory like your JVC so I really don't see me changing between 16:9 and 2.39:1 formats. I will just live with the black bars. I was a bit concerned with an image that large and the need for a high gain screen. Based on the projector central calculator to get an image brightness of 12 fl I would need a 1.2 gain screen at a minimum. I need to make it over to the DYI screen forum to ask the paint gurus what mix they recommend.
plan view
The Dayton plate amps are probably fine. I don't know. Maybe they are awesome? But consider that Parts Express is the Dayton dealer and I'm sure they make a lot more from selling a Dayton amp then they would selling a Behringer or another brand.
If you're only 11' away from the screen I think a 15' diag screen is probably too much. I would definitely read up more about that before you start building it. My old theater had a 10' diag screen, I sat ~13' away, and it was right at the edge of being too big. Think of it like sitting in the front row of a movie theater where you have to move your eyes/head to different areas of the screen to follow what is going on, vs. sitting in the middle rows where you can just look straight ahead and see the whole screen without moving your eyes around to follow what's going on. (Hope that makes sense)
I do realize the screen size and viewing distance is not within recommended geometry. I am going for an immersive experience but if I need to dial back the size a bit to ensure an acceptable picture quality I will consider that. I am getting similar advice on the DYI screen forum. The new viewing distance will be at 12' and I know from experience that my family does not have any problems following the action on a 150" screen at that distance. If I am compromising picture quality by trying to go too large then that is something else to consider though. I think I may also need to look at spending a bit more on a projector too to get to higher lumens.
We made some good progress framing the walls of the room over the long holiday weekend. Also I was able to upgrade my projector choice when I picked up a Panasonic AE8000 on a black Friday deal! As far as the design, I think I am going to ditch the curved screen idea and stretch a flexi-white type material over a frame then paint for a DYI high gain screen.
Entrance and future bar/kit:
view of screen wall from left:
view of screen wall from right:
Looking good so far! Looks like your making good progress.
I am considering a constant screen height setup with black bars at the sides when watching 16:9 content and filling the screen for 2.39 content. Looking at a 2.39 aspect screen that is 60" H x 143" W (155" dia.) and using the lens zoom memory to display 16:9 content at 60" H x 107" W (122" dia.) The projector central calculator puts the throw for that size at 16'-6" with the 2.39 at 1.95x zoom and the 16:9 at 1.46x zoom. With a 1.4 gain screen the image brightness comes out at 20 flL. Is that bright enough? Is that too big for a 12' seating distance? I don't know for sure. I am not sure what mode they calculator is using, probably best or normal, so if I use dynamic for 3d maybe it is bright enough. FYI, You can get a piece of flexiwhite that is 63"x151" for $89.
We have made some progress on the construction side and design side. The plumbing rough-in is complete and I have moved on to building ceiling bulkheads. The ceiling plan is attached below, there are some areas of ceiling tile and some ares of drywall ceiling. Instead of a curved screen we are doing a elliptical coved ceiling with LED up lights. The ellipse was generated with some math and string and after tracing on the plywood with a sharpie was cut out with a jigsaw. I will post more photos when it is up.
Dradius, as far as the sound system design I am now leaning towards two Dayton 15" Ultimax with the box kit ($260 each) and power them wired in series with an EP2000 ($299). This will be next to the front R and L tower speakers in the 'stage' which will have plywood and drywall on top and speaker cloth on the front face. I considered building a pair of ported boxes since I have the space in the 'stage' for a grater volume box than the kits but I don't think I have the time and experience to design and build boxes, plus it sounds like the sealed boxes are preferred by some. For a main AVR I am now leaning toward the Denon 2313 or x3000 for the audessy XT and dual HDMI outputs, just looking for a factory re-furb or good sale.
I'm redoing my subs and have been reading about sealed vs. ported lately. I watched some youtube reviews/tests and one guy summed it up well: ported for rap and dubstep, sealed for rock, pop, and both will work with movies. Not sure how true that is but it seems about right from what I've read. I completely understand going with a kit and not wanting to dedicate a bunch of time to designing and building boxes. I'm kind of in the same boat.
The more reading I do the more I realize I don't know about subwoofers. I think I am going to post over on the DYI sub forum and see if they can help. I downloaded the winISD software to try and design a subwoofer package for my specific space but I could not figure out how to use it. I will probably still go with the sealed box kits which are only $60 if you by them with the driver, unless they say that for my volume of room I need the ported boxes.
I installed our new AE 8000 projector in our family room until the basement is complete. Watched the Lone Ranger in 2D and Life of PI in 3D. I am going to love this projector.
We got the elliptical ceiling cove hung yesterday. It is 8 feet to the lower portion which will match the drop ceiling height of the rest of the basement and 8'-6" to the center portion. Color changing LED tape will sit on a special drywall trim that will ring the perimeter of the ellipse.
Stunning design in the space you have available. I am looking forward to the end result. Good luck!
Thanks guys for the encouragement. Spaceman, your ceiling was one of my inspirations to 'step it up' and come up with something cool for the ceiling.
This is the latest design for the speakers, the two large boxes facing the center channel are DIY 11 cubic feet ported subs (Martysubs). I need to finalize my in-wall in-ceiling speaker layout. I am leaning towards regular side surrounds in-ceiling at either side of the seating and doing the the front highs or front wides that Audyssey DSX allows instead of the rear surrounds.
Happy New Year!
And a Behringer iNuke NU1000 for $200
4 12" subs & 1000 watts for less than $500. Just build the boxes and you are set. I cant believe you will can find better for the price. You can also buy a better quality amp for not much more if you don't like the NU1000
Check out my just over $5K theater build thread
neverfinished's neverfinished theater
Neverfinished94, thanks for the suggestion on the DYI subs. I really appreciate an option that is more affordable, over on the DYI sub message board they are suggesting two 18" drivers at over $400 each. I just don't know about the four 12" vs larger drivers. I am coming from a single 10" Polk sub and I have never heard four 12" or two 18". I found some research below that verifies the multiple subwoofers is better but falls short of recommending four 12" over two 15" or 18".

|Pussy Eating Club website
There are 72 episodes listed on this site's members' area, but there is no update information listed. However, we have been informed by the site itself that they update once a week. The members' area is quite well designed and largely worked quite well although I did have the occasional intermittent problem with broken thumbnails. They only list three updates per page, though, so browsing can be a lengthy experience. But they do at least list some quite lengthy descriptions with the episodes and there is also a pretty good index of all the models that make appearances.
All videos are available to be streamed or downloaded in .MP4 format, in ultra high definition format and also in mobile format as well. They are only available at full length, though, and the HD versions play at 1920x1080px with the mobile versions at 480x272px. The download speeds could not have been much better, really. Most of the photos that I saw on the site displayed at 2000x1333px, although there were no ZIP download options made available.
PussyEatingClub.com is a site that I think has been building for the last 2 years or so and as such it does seem to be a good stage to review it now that it has a reasonably sized archive behind it. The content is described as 100% exclusive (no reason to doubt this, despite the number of huge name stars on show here) and they do seem to be updating at the rate that they claim, so it does seem as though the tools are in place for a great little lesbian site.
And so it proves on the content front. In some ways it would seem to be a no-brainer to be sticking the likes of Audrey Bitoni, Dani Daniels and Jayme Langford among many others together and letting them get on with it. But while some couplings don't quite conjure up the chemistry that you might have expected or wanted to see, others positively sizzle. The Rachel Roxx / Missy Stone scene especially hits though heights, and contributes in a big way to a very good little collection.
$ 3.99 for 3 Days (Trial)
$ 19.99 for 1 Month
$ 83.88 for 12 Months ( non-recurring )
Payment types:
Credit Card
I think this is around about the time that Pussy Eating Club.com should really be starting to make people sit up and take notice. After all, with this calibre of girls in content that is reported to be completely exclusive, it really does stand to reason that this site would start to be noticed more. If they can keep replicating the quality of some of the scenes here, they will be in a good place. Visit Pussy Eating Club.

Ceramic paint that insulates?
Has anybody else heard of this ceramic paint, supposedly to have come from NASA, that insulates? It's supposed to be some kind of great heat reflector, and therefore reflects outside heat in the summer and traps inside heat in the winter. If it's so great, then why can you only get it in online stores and not at real hardware stores? Anybody know if it's for real?
Do they make any claim as to the R-Value of the paint?
Mostly, I don't like to give advice on something I haven't used myself, but you'd probably find this interesting
Not one of my paint suppliers have any, nor do any plan to carry any
Not one pro painter I know has ever used it
Not one pro painter I know believes it
This topic has even been posted on pro painter's boards I frequent where hundreds of pro painters can see it
Not one pro frequenting those boards uses it, or believes it
On a personal note, in my investigation of the product, I found too many red flags not to reach a negative conclusion of the product
Thanks for your replies, I'm pretty sure now its a hoax. No, they don't give an R-value rating because of something to do with the thickness, or testing procedures, or something. THey probably don't give it an r-value because it doesn't work.
What's the name of it? I have used some of this type of material with outside paint. It has been on for about seven years and so far all is well. I can not tell if it really made any difference in heat or cooling the house because I made several other energy saving additions at the same time.
I remember this discussion from another site and, as I remember, It could foul up the paint warrantee.
