Playstation 3 vs XBox 360
Which do you prefer?
I now have both after a mate GAVE me his 360 (seriously, the guy's nuts) Haven't played to many games on it as yet, but on-line does seem a lot better.
Still, I would have to say that I am mainly a PS3 nuthugger, as that is what I have had the longest. I don't have to put up with stupid Red rings of death or whatever they are called.
When UFC Undisputed is out, I'll be buying it for the PS3 I think, rather than the Xbox, just seem to prefer my Sony!!
I guess it depends on price for some right? but as my missus bought me my PS3 and I got this Xbox, that has never really been an issue for me.
Also, the blue ray player I have never really used, just don't buy the disc's, so am maybe not putting my tele to good use!!
What do you think?
It has to be the xbox 360, better game selections, better online play, cheaper aswell.
PS3 is over rated and didnt live up to the hype.
Went with the 360.
PS3 for me.
Xbox 360.
Xbox 360.
Xbox 360 is much cheaper, and has more capabilities.
Xbox live gives the 360 the win. If PS3 would have developed their online gaming and game selection it would have been more of a contendor even at additional cost.
I say ps3. But I also prefer mac over pc...
It's really all about the not crashing, and the blu ray for me.
i have to go with xbox 360 it has games for every one.

Having a Crush on Howie Day
I had Australia for weeks—months maybe—before it struck me. The first few listens, I just wasn't impressed; but when that one listen happened, it happened, and I was horribly, blissfully enamored. It was like falling for the understated, reserved misfit over the out-and-out heartthrob: the passion might take longer to erupt, but when it does it's all the more intense, for you feel like you've discovered something that others simply don't see.
On Stop All the World Now, Howie Day has grown from the metaphoric overlooked-yet-overwhelming underdog into something a little closer to the flashy hunk. Gone and the low-budget looping which backgrounded his guitarwork and plaintive singing; in are much more polished production, more put-together songwriting, much cleaner vocals. It's a graduation certainly, but it's also the loss of that raw power that Howie Day is notorious for, which makes his live performance emotionally exhausting, which made Australia a dazzling gem. Australia was Howie Day exposed and beautifully alive; Stop All the World Now is him dressed up, prettified, and further away. Newcomers might not notice or care, but for older fans, Stop All the World Now will take some getting used to. Or rather, it seems far too easy to know.
What's strangest about the album is the appearance of a song from Australia—a new (and improved?) version of "She Says". A quick comparison is in order. "She Says" 2000: his voice breaks. You can hear him breath and push his body through the notes. It's just him and a guitar (check), the sound quivers, the effect is slow, painful, deep. "She Says" 2003: the instrumentation has been padded. The pace has been sped up. The force of his singing has been drenched in production, its brutal force scaled back. It's poppy. To put it bluntly, it's been John Mayer-ized.
The new "She Says" is a crime against the former version, but that's mostly due to the shock of having the materiality stripped from it. On other songs, without previous specters, the effect is not nearly so scandalous. They're pretty—sometimes very pretty. They're listenable - often, highly listenable. And they're… clean. Sometimes way too clean.
"Brace Yourself", the opener, hangs over the album's beginning like a cloud full of warm rain, the sound soaking and full. The harmonies, performed by Jay Clifford (Jump, Little Children, Rosebud), stretch mightily across the song's terrain, and along with drums, bass, and muted piano, give the altitude at the most precious and proper of moments. "Numbness For Sound" is simple and simply radiant, riddled with poignant lines. And you can't not be moved by the frank sadness of "Trouble in Here", a song that rings in your ears long after it's ended. But peppered amongst these joys are songs so radio-friendly that they're nearly enemies. There's just too much going on in "Perfect Time of Day"—too many timed harmonies, too many layers, too much cover—it's a song that sounds as if it should come tied with a big red bow. "Collide", as pretty as it is, irons Day's trembling tenor out flat, adds cheesy strings, and uses instrumentation which makes observant gleam with a pop sheen that sometimes just sounds… well… lame. And all of this packed together, so glossy and packaged, leaves a plasticky aftertaste.
The appearance of Jay Clifford is a welcome addition, and this album is still a testament to Day's sincere, youthfully romantic lyrics, catchy melodies and touching, go-for-broke singing style. But Stop All the World Now is an album you have a crush on, not one you fall deeply, complexly, and foolishly in love with. And crushes have a way of disappearing suddenly, without a trace.

text: WellPoint, Inc. (NYSE: WLP) announced today that Thomas C. Zielinski has been named executive vice president and general counsel, effective June 2, 2014. Additionally, Peter Haytaian has been appointed executive vice president and president of the Company's Government Business Division. He replaces Richard Zoretic who announced he will retire from WellPoint on May 31, 2014. Zielinski most recently was a partner in the law firm of Morgan Lewis and was retained as interim general counsel for WellPoint since February 2014. He will oversee WellPoint's legal strategy, legal compliance, litigation, and regulatory and governance matters. "Tom is deeply knowledgeable in health care, with more than 20 years experience in health care related matters and litigation, serving as a partner in two national law firms, as well as twelve years as the general counsel of Coventry Health Care," said Joseph R. Swedish, WellPoint's chief executive officer. "He will be a tremendous asset to our team as our company focuses on transforming health care with trusted and caring solutions." Haytaian most recently served as president of the Medicaid business in the Government Business Division of WellPoint, where he was responsible for all Medicaid operations in the 19 states WellPoint serves. As president of WellPoint's Government Business Division, he will assume responsibility for all operations related to the Company's Medicaid and Medicare business segments, as well as National Government Services and the Federal Employee Program. "Pete has been integral in positioning WellPoint as the nation's leader in serving low-income families and people with disabilities through Medicaid programs. His proven track record, combined with his extensive experience leading Medicaid and Medicare programs at both Amerigroup and Oxford Health Plans, positions him well to lead WellPoint's Government Business division," said Swedish. "I welcome Pete to our executive leadership team, would like to thank Dick for his extraordinary contributions and wish him the best in his retirement."

History 101: Petit Science Center
A Diverse Location
Opened in March 2010, the Parker H. Petit Science Center is a high-tech, 350,000-square-foot building that is home to advances in research and learning, attracting educators from a wide array of disciplines, ranging from biology to nursing.
Before construction on the center could begin at the corner of Decatur Street and Piedmont Avenue, officials researched the archaeological significance of the site as part of required impact studies and found that its history over the past century reflects Atlanta's ever-changing nature.
Before the Civil War, Decatur Avenue was lined with a few homes. Miraculously, some of the houses survived the burning of Atlanta in 1864, though houses and businesses east of there were incinerated.
As Atlanta was rebuilt, the block changed into a commercial and industrial district in the late 19th century, serving as the home for the Atlanta Foundry and the Atlanta Wagon and Timber Company.
Into the early 20th century, the location east of downtown was described as "the home of humanity as it is," in a 1913 article in Journal Magazine. It was a diverse area that included transplanted whites from rural north Georgia, Jews and African-Americans – prompting one writer to call the area "the melting pot of Dixie." The neighborhood was home to blacksmiths, wagon makers, grocers and horse salesmen.
The Atlanta Police Department headquarters and the local jail would eventually be located near the site, where the buildings would remain until the 1990s.
Just before the 1960 presidential election, Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested while trying to desegregate the lunch counter at the downtown Rich's Department Store and was booked into the jail on the block where the science center now stands.

It's not often you see the scoreboard operator score the winning run in a baseball game. But it happened when the Brookfield Bulldogs rallied to beat Oconomowoc in the Land O' Lakes Western Division playoffs on Sunday at McCoy Field.
The Bulldogs were trailing by a run in the bottom of the 11th inning and SP Josh Eidt was running the scoreboard since he had left the game a few innings before. With veteran DH Ernest Castro slated to bat second in the inning, Manager Jason Booth passed the word to Eidt to get out of his flip-flops and into his spikes because he might pinch run for Castro if he gets on base.
Scott Booth opened the inning and was safe on an error. Castro, even at 44 years old one of the league's most feared hitters, then ripped a double to left-center and scored Scott Booth with the tying run. Eidt then ran for Castro.
Mike Jacobs then dropped a bunt down the third base line and when the third baseman threw the ball away trying to get the speedy Jacobs at first, Eidt scored all the way from second with the winning run.
As a result of the win, the Bulldogs host top-seeded West Bend on Saturday at 1 p.m. at McCoy Field. Since the 7-UP won the regular season title, this is a double-elimination tourney for them, while everyone else can lose once and go home.
That means the Bulldogs need to win at home Saturday and force a winner-take-all game at West Bend on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Unfortunately, since this isn't big league baseball, Brookfield will be short-handed against West Bend. Catcher Brandon Reddinger, a former minor-leaguer, will be in Seattle for the weekend. So Jacobs will move behind the plate and catch Eidt. This is a former Brookfield Central battery. With Josh Lemke taking Jacobs place at third.
Brookfield East beat last year's state champs Muskego, 2-1, on Tuesday, to open the season. Brookfield Central opens against state runner-up Madison Memorial on Friday at 7 p.m. at home. The only way to measure yourself is against the best in the state and coaches Herbie Dundun of East and Jon Mroz of Central show that with their scheduling.
Golf, swimming and tennis are also up and running and Brook East (at Pulask), Brook Central (at Germantown), Wauwatosa West (at Burlington Catholic Central) and Wauwatosa East (Racine Horlick at Hart Park) will all don the pads in scrimmages on Friday.

The Life of Johnson HTML version
The res angusta domi prevented him from having the advantage of a complete academical
education. The friend to whom he had trusted for support had deceived him. His debts in
College, though not great, were increasing; and his scanty remittances from Lichfield,
which had all along been made with great difficulty, could be supplied no longer, his
father having fallen into a state of insolvency. Compelled, therefore, by irresistible
necessity, he left the College in autumn, 1731, without a degree, having been a member
of it little more than three years.
And now (I had almost said POOR) Samuel Johnson returned to his native city, destitute,
and not knowing how he should gain even a decent livelihood. His father's misfortunes in
trade rendered him unable to support his son; and for some time there appeared no means
by which he could maintain himself. In the December of this year his father died.
Johnson was so far fortunate, that the respectable character of his parents, and his own
merit, had, from his earliest years, secured him a kind reception in the best families at
Lichfield. Among these I can mention Mr. Howard, Dr. Swinfen, Mr. Simpson, Mr.
Levett, Captain Garrick, father of the great ornament of the British stage; but above all,
Mr. Gilbert Walmsley, Register of the Prerogative Court of Lichfield, whose character,
long after his decease, Dr. Johnson has, in his Life of Edmund Smith, thus drawn in the
glowing colours of gratitude:
'Of Gilbert Walmsley, thus presented to my mind, let me indulge myself in the
remembrance. I knew him very early; he was one of the first friends that literature
procured me, and I hope that, at least, my gratitude made me worthy of his notice.
'He was of an advanced age, and I was only not a boy, yet he never received my notions
with contempt. He was a whig, with all the virulence and malevolence of his party; yet
difference of opinion did not keep us apart. I honoured him and he endured me.
'At this man's table I enjoyed many cheerful and instructive hours, with companions, such
as are not often found--with one who has lengthened, and one who has gladdened life;
with Dr. James, whose skill in physick will be long remembered; and with David Garrick,
whom I hoped to have gratified with this character of our common friend. But what are
the hopes of man! I am disappointed by that stroke of death, which has eclipsed the
gaiety of nations, and impoverished the publick stock of harmless pleasure.'
In these families he passed much time in his early years. In most of them, he was in the
company of ladies, particularly at Mr. Walmsley's, whose wife and sisters-in-law, of the
name of Aston, and daughters of a Baronet, were remarkable for good breeding; so that
the notion which has been industriously circulated and believed, that he never was in
good company till late in life, and, consequently had been confirmed in coarse and
ferocious manners by long habits, is wholly without foundation. Some of the ladies have

text: NEWARK, Ohio, July 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Park National Corporation (Park) (NYSE MKT:PRK) today announced the next step in its formal and traditional leadership succession. Effective January 1, 2014, David L. Trautman will become the next chief executive officer of The Park National Bank and Park National Corporation, in addition to retaining his responsibility as president of both entities. Park Chairman and current Chief Executive Officer C. Daniel DeLawder will continue in his role as chairman of both entities. Both Trautman and DeLawder also serve as directors on the boards of The Park National Bank and Park National Corporation. "This carefully planned transition follows the leadership model that has successfully served our organization for decades," DeLawder said. "Continuity, consistency, experience and reliability are keystones in our leadership, and qualities that our shareholders, associates, and clients have come to expect from us. Taking this next step reflects our ongoing commitment to those values." "David is fully qualified to lead Park, as his 30-plus year tenure and varied experiences combined with his comprehensive financial education and community leadership attest," DeLawder said. "Park has a rare and highly successful practice of planning for succession well in advance, which enables our fundamental values to carry on uninterrupted. I look forward to David leading Park into our exciting future." DeLawder plans to continue working on a full-time basis, following the identical pattern established by former Park Chief Executive Officers John W. Alford and William T. McConnell. Like DeLawder, Trautman was hired by and worked directly with past leaders Everett Reese, Alford, and McConnell. "I've had the great fortune to work with four giants in banking — leaders who have had a profound impact on our industry, our organization, our colleagues and me," Trautman said. "My goal is to build upon the firm foundation they constructed. For the past 30 years, I've had the privilege of working with, and learning from, the finest bankers and customers around. It's been great fun and I look forward to learning more from both groups as the years pass."

22 injured in PMB taxi crash
16:55 02/08/2014
Johannesburg - Twenty-two people were injured when a taxi crashed about 25 meters down an embankment along New Greyton road in Pietermaritzburg on Saturday, paramedics said.
ER24 spokesperson Werner Vermaak said when paramedics arrived the people were sitting next to the road.
"Paramedics learned that all of the occupants managed to crawl out of the taxi and up the embankment," he said.
"Nineteen occupants sustained minor injuries and three were treated for moderate injuries on scene before being taken to Northdale, Greys and Edendale Hospitals respectively."
Vermaak said the local fire department used ropes to lower themselves to the wreckage to ensure there was no one else inside.

I have no sympathy for the taxi owner, drivers or passengers. They all allow the reckless driving and blatant disregard for other. Deal with the consequences.

Ever have a window that has wandered partially off-screen? Not a big problem, unless you can't get to the title bar to move it. For example, what do you do if you have a window that gets its title bar hidden above the TOP of the screen? (It happens, sometimes due to a system error, sometimes due a change in screen resolution.) The problem is, you can't grab the title bar with your mouse to move the window. Don't worry, there's an easy way to move the darn thing. Here's how:
1. Make sure the window has focus (i.e. it's the active window).
2. Next, click Alt+Space and then press the letter M .
3. Now, use your arrow keys to move the window back to where you want it.

Honestly, thank you for taking the time to at least check and see what I am about. It is hard to know who I really am without meeting in person. Don't be fooled by my small size I am packed tight with so much to give. I have a great desire to love unconditionally, laugh uncontrollably, serve endlessly, endure in humility, and have faith that the best is yet to come. I just need to find the right person to give it all to. I will be your best friend and your cheerleader through life. I love to joke and have fun. I need someone I can trust with my heart. Someone who is honest and able to give their heart completely in return.
I have five of the most amazing daughters. We have been through a lot and have come out stronger because of it. The Gospel and our love for each other is what keeps our bond strong.Family has always been the most important thing to me.
I have done a lot of things in my life, traveled, had several careers, owned a couple of businesses and I once thought a Title was important. I now know it is about the journey and the lives you touch along the way. I have a strong desire to leave this life having made some difference in the life of others.
I love the Gospel and want to be with someone who feels the same way. I want to be with someone who loves going to the temple, values their priesthood, and who lives a gospel centered life. None of us are perfect but how great would it be to grow together spiritually. I hope to serve a mission as a couple one day.
I love to spend time with my family of course!
To be honest, I have not run 5K's, or marathons, not yet! I like to eat healthy, I put a whole lemon in my Diet Coke : ) I like to sing, especially to the radio with music from the 70's because I can remember most of the words. I love camping, traveling and anything that has to do with water or the beach. I love working in the yard, working on the house or enjoy the sun going down from my hammock. My yard is like a park. I have raised my children and now it is time to start doing those things I use to love to do like: tennis, golf, and being more adventurous. I love to learn and try new things.
I like making new friends so don't be afraid to reach out to me.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki urged Iraq's neighbors to assist the country in its struggle to establish peace and end militant actions. He said the current situation makes it imperative that all nations in the region support the government of Prime Minister Maliki. "The Islamic Republic(of Iran) is highly suspicious," he said, "of the role of occupyng forces in provoking conflicts.. and Iraq's political and security woes. It believes that the Iraqi government can better resolve the crises witout the interference of outsiders. Iran firmly believes that leaving the matters in the hands of Iraq nation and its elected government and providing the country's military and security forces with proper equipment will pave the way for the swift settlement of security and political problems."
Iraq Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki chided regional states for failing to provide aid to his nation such as reducing or eliminating debt owed to them. He urged them to open embassies in Baghdad as a show of support to his government. No ambassador from an Arab state has an embassy in Baghdad since an Egyptian envoy was kidnapped and killed in 2005.
On one hand, the Bush administration charges Iran with fostering violence in Iraq, on the other hand, the government of Iraq praises Iran for its contribution in helping their nation become stable and fight terrorism. Perhaps, it might be beneficial for the Bush administration to get together with the government of Iraq in order to find out who exactly is the enemy. Iraq and the United States have widely differing views on who is aiding terrorism in the region.

My First Massage-Thompson Healthcare & Sports Medicine
There's a lot of firsts in my life but this is something I thought I did once, but never like this! It was my first visit with Dr. Rob and the gang over there at Thompson Healthcare & Sports Medicine, Chiropractic Center and I was wildly impressed. And a big "Hello" to Marilyn at the front desk in Lacey! It's amazing what they do over there at Thompson Healthcare & Sports Medicine when it comes to pain. They take pain seriously! If you're waking up with pain today, they say, "Text "PAINLESS" to 89000 for a FREE MRI Consultation…Don't Live With Pain".
They do massages and weight loss as well as so many other ways that will help you with pain and get back into the game.
So I stopped by the other day to pay my favorite Dr. Rob a visit and he said, "How about a massage"? A massage..at a chiropractic place?…"Yes"! OK, that would be great! My massage therapist Melanie was wonderful. She relaxed me and for one hour I was taken away from the everyday worries. If you check out my friends at Thompson…ask for Melanie, she was great! It was wonderful!

Congo says no talks with rebels unless they quit Goma
By Jonny Hogg and Richard Lough
GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo (Reuters) - Congo said on Sunday it would not negotiate with M23 rebels in the east until they pulled out of the city of Goma, but a rebel spokesman said Kinshasa was in no position to set conditions on peace talks.
Congolese President Joseph Kabila met with M23 for the first time on Saturday after an urgent summit in Uganda where regional leaders gave M23 two days to leave Goma, which the rebels seized six days ago after U.N.-backed government troops melted away.
Eight months into a rebellion that U.N. experts say is backed by neighboring Rwanda, the rebels have so far shown no sign of quitting the lakeside city of one million people.
The rebels say they plan to march on other cities in the east, and then strike out across the country to the capital Kinshasa, across 1,000 miles of dense jungle with few roads, a daunting feat achieved 15 years ago by Kabila's father.
Amani Kabasha, a spokesman for M23's political arm, welcomed the meeting with Kabila but questioned the government's resolve to end a crisis that risks engulfing the region.
"Why put conditions on talks? You pose conditions when you are in a position of strength. Is the government really in such a position?" Kabasha told Reuters in Goma, which sits on the north shore of Lake Kivu at Congo's eastern border with Rwanda.
Vianney Kazarama, the rebels' military spokesman, said government forces that had been reinforcing along the shores of the lake were now deploying in hills around the rebel held town of Sake and government-held Minova, both Goma's west.
A U.N. source in Minova said government soldiers had gone on a looting spree for a second straight night there. The town was calm on Sunday but gunshots rang out overnight, the source said. Continued...

We have literally just returned from the vet from Samson (6 months and crazy!) fell into the edge of the pool and injured his leg. This is the second time he has fallen in from the edge and now has a soft tissue injury. :-( Unlike the pool though that you are looking at, ours is very curvy around the whole thing so I think he has just misjudged those curves a couple of times while running around the pool while we were in it.
Because we live in a very hot climate, we WANT him to want to get in the pool to cool down and we want him to want to swim for exercise when the asphalt is too hot in the summer to walk on. So far, we have trained him on a leash to only go in the pool on command. Treat it like a doorwary. Take him to the edge of the pool, WAIT, OK and then he can go. While we are in the pool, we can say "on the step" and he is allowed to go on the step. He caught on really quickly. I don't want him jumping on the step everytime he goes out for a potty break because I don't want a wet dog all of the time! LOL
It can work as long as you set up the boundaries for the dog. A couple of times Samson has headed to the pool without the command and with a simple "Ah ah" and he will turn around.
Also, when teaching to swim in the pool, always make him enter and exit at the same place so that he learns the proper exit and knows where the step is if he ever does fall in. We LOVE have a house with a pool. Our neighbor's lab has even came over for an afternoon swim! It is endless entertainment for the kids (our whole family really), bbq's, parties and you don't have to pack up a pool bag and leave the house.

No mine is never straight. Even when I comb the gel through, it starts to curl up by itself. BUT without a lot of scrunching it is Very Flat. Without gel it is actually just as wavy but completely undefined, each hair going its own way, and is still Very Flat. It reminds me of one of those videos from the 1960s with some guitarist rocking frizzy ugly waves.
So I much prefer the way it looks with a lot of product in it, it will chunk up somewhat and get much smoother and more organized, and scrunching pops the curls up, and pineapple overnight and/or a little hairspray to make it bigger.

They do a far better job with the wind since they are higher and they come on and off in about 20 seconds. Just my .02.
I was able to convince my dealer to throw in the installation of the wind deflector at no cost when I bought the car (asked for that after I had a firm price already, so they wouldn't work it up into the price). Only thing I don't like about it is the fact that the one on my 2007 had trunk mounted rails to store the deflector when not in use under the trunk lid, the new one folds then goes into a sleeve that then has to be stored somewhere. Personally, I just leave it on all the time since visibility is not really affected too much by its presence.

The opposition applies to the European patent in all the contracting states in which that patent has effect. Thus the opposition should formally be in respect of all the designated States. If an opposition is filed in respect of only some of the designated States it will be treated as if it were in respect of all the designated States.
Nevertheless, the effect of an opposition may differ as between contracting states. This may arise where the patent contains different claims for different contracting states in accordance with Rule 18(2) or Rule 138, or where the claims must take account of different art under the provisions of Art. 54(3) EPC 1973 and of Art. 54(4) EPC 1973 (see D‑VII, 8, and H‑III, 4.2.1). Thus the patent may be differently amended in respect of different contracting states and may be revoked in respect of one or more contracting states and not in respect of others.

I am 26, happily married for eight years, with no children. I have been overweight all my life. By the time I was in 6th grade I weighed over 300 lbs. I yo-yoed back and forth for years with my lowest weight being around 200 lbs. After I got married I shot back up to 275 and began a three year journey, resulting in the loss of over 100 lbs using Sparkpeople.com for the first 80 lbs and Medifast for the last 20 lbs (because I stalled for over 7 months no matter how hard I exercised). I am now at 169 lbs (my weight in 3rd grade) but despite diet and exercise I cannot loose the excess skin around my abdomen. It's been almost a year since I stabilized between 175-169. Below my navel is nothing but excess skin.
Before I get judged, this is not vanity. This is grace and faith. The faith that comes from believing that (no matter how many people laughed) that at 275 lbs I believed I could do the impossible-I could loose over 100 lbs, switch careers, and completely transform myself and my life according to my dreams, that I could rewrite my fate through nothing more than will power, determination, and God's grace. Life is the most precious gift we have and being made in the image of the creator, I believe the ability to create is instilled in each of us and it is this ability and right to transform that made me proceed. I have always been trapped inside my skin. I have never looked in the mirror and saw my true self. I don't have low self esteem, sure there are things I would change, but I am a wonderful person (lol) and everyone loves me (lol-most of the time).
Am I scared? Darn right! Many are the nights I have laid awake (especially after watching the surgery on youtube, twice-I hate that I always go into things with my eyes open!). But, I don't believe, I can't believe that God and the angels let me come this far to drop me now. That said, I am scheduled for an augmentation and a tummy tuck on June 21st. I am going out of town to have it because after a few local consultations, I did not find a doctor I felt comfortable with. After nearly two years of searching, I finally found a surgeon I fell confident in. He and his staff seem wonderful, he is very skilled, accredited, and despite the fact I had to reschedule twice (when financing fell through), now that I am finally on track they've helped me through the whole process. I am scared, especially because my husband and I are traveling from the northeast to Alabama (I am terrified of tornados) where I don't know anyone, but I have confidence in my choice of doctor which I hope is most important. I am scheduled for June 21st but I am considering moving it up because I am anxious to get it over with. I would love to hear about anyone else's experiences.

How do I retrofit-anchor posts to concrete?
Just bought an 1896-built house with a daylight basement. Inside the basement are several timber posts (8x8 and 6x8, probably Doug fir) that are standing on concrete pier blocks embedded in concrete floor. I searched Simpson ties site but nothing seems clear as a way to anchor posts for seismic resistance. We're in the Pacific Northwest on the coast and waiting for the Big One. Any suggestions please?
In my opinion, two ways to look at this. 1) the house has been there since 1896 and it's fine - don't fix something that isn't broke. or 2) you might need to consult a structural engineer, as the posts may require removal, pouring of a proper concrete footing (with approved seismic area anchors) and new structural posts.
You have hit on a very complex problem, specifically retrofitting columns for seismic resistance. Check the Simpson section on MAS/MASA/MASAP/MASB/MASP for their comments on seismic connections for mudsills. Also check their anchor bolt section SSTB for discussion on installation of anchor bolts in concrete for seismic resistance. There are numerous other places that seismic design is mentioned in the Simpson 2009 catalog, you can find them by downloading the catalog in PDF format and searching seismic, but I don't think any of the other sections are relevant to a column.
Part of the complexity is that unless you have detailed information about the footing for the column, you are not going to be able to tell where the weak link in your system is. For example, if the footer is inadequately sized, and unreinforced, the footer is likely to crack and fail in an earthquake, which will make even the best connection fail.
If you are really concerned, one reasonable option is to attach a pair of steel angles to the columns using bolts, and install epoxied anchors through the angles. If you used 6x6 angles, you could install a pair of 1/2 inch diameter rods per angle. You would have to drill at least 4 feet through the concrete and into the soil below, then anchor the rods in place using a suitable epoxy. Not a simple job, but at least it would attach the columns to the base, and improve the potential survivability of the house in the event of the big one.

Language, in Depth: Living with Dyslexia
The time that stands out to me, the time when I first realized that I was different, was when I was in the third grade.
At my school, all of the kids in the third grade were asked to read a children's book to the first graders. This program instilled a very real sense of, I don't know, superiority, I guess. The age difference between first and third grade isn't great, but in third grade you can read; it was a differentiator. Reading was imbedded into that sense of identity as a third grader; we were the "big kids," and we were going to demonstrate it by doing something the first graders couldn't.
Up until this point, I don't think I had a full understanding that I couldn't read like my classmates. I just knew that it was hard, and that was the extent of it. I thought it was like that for everybody. But when it came time for us to choose our books, I remember kids choosing these chapter books, the Magic Tree House series, to show off their reading chops; or maybe they were picking more simple books they had been able to read for a while, books that the first-graders were just learning to read.
So I went that route, picking The Cat in the Hat—except I couldn't read it. I knew what the story was about because my parents always read to me at bedtime, and I had a pretty good visual memory of the book. I knew how many words there were on a page. The pictures somewhat corresponded with the words, and I could remember the pictures. So up until "reading day" I would have my parents read me that book, and I would try and memorize the story. I would try to remember the words that they were saying.
And then it came time to read the book aloud to the first-graders. And it was right then, when I was sweating, my hands shaking, fumbling for words . . . that's when I knew. These kids were correcting me. They could read it. And I couldn't.
That's when it dawned on me that there was this structure, this hierarchy in the educational world—third-graders should be able to do things that first-graders couldn't—and I didn't have a place in it.
I was given the diagnosis in the fourth grade, and it came with such a profound sense of relief. Up until that point, I just felt that I wasn't smart enough; I couldn't do what the teachers felt I could do. So getting the diagnosis—that was the ultimate clarification that I was different, but that was good. Suddenly, there was a category that I fit into; I wasn't alone.
Being diagnosed as dyslexic immediately gave me a sense of what my strengths were and what my weaknesses were. To get these laid out for me was so important because it told me that, OK, there are things I'm going to struggle with, but there are also things that I won't struggle with. Before, I had no confidence; I just assumed everything would be a struggle.
I was so lucky that my mom was a teacher, because she never had the belief that there were "normal" kids and there were kids who didn't fit that definition. She sees each kid as an individual learner. The concept that there's a standard student and there's a student who needs accommodations is ridiculous because there is no "standard" student. She inherently understood that. Up until my diagnosis, I might have felt alone at school, but never at home.
In high school, I loved studio art, and I think it was expected that because I was dyslexic and because I was good at art, that I'd go to art school. But I saw this as a copout, I saw this as running away from my dyslexia, of conforming to others' beliefs in what I could or couldn't do. I had this deep drive to prove to people that I could do academics. I was going to go to a rigorous liberal arts school! And then I was going to be a history major!
When I got here, I felt like Middlebury had taken a risk with me; I was a risky investment. I mean, I knew what I could do, but how could they know for sure? I had bad SAT scores, and I probably spelled some stuff wrong on the application. So I put pressure on myself to prove that kids with learning disabilities, kids who don't do well on the SATs, can contribute a lot to the community—they can be creators, innovators.
At first I thought that meant excelling in areas I wouldn't normally excel in and limiting myself to one studio art course a semester—things like that. And I did well. But then I wondered, Why am I not doing what I really want to do? I remember being told that I was going to reach a point in my life when I'd be able to do the things that I wanted to do, that I wouldn't always have to work so hard to overcome my learning difference.
But there's no guy standing on the corner saying, "You know that point? It's happening right now." You have to come to that realization yourself, and I think this is especially difficult for people with learning differences. When do you shed off that stuff that you have to do?
I think I've spent a long time feeling not so great about myself; there are self-esteem issues deeply embedded in working within other people's expectations. And if you are not doing what you really want to do, not playing to your strengths, then the validation you receive is completely external, and you never feel satisfied.
I'm still working through it. But I'm a studio art major now, though I might minor in history.
Living with dyslexia . . . it's hard. But from my experience, you have to own it. It's who I am. It's always going to be me. Understanding this is essential in order to be happy as a human being.

Super Easy Chocolate Mousse Pie
If you like easy and love chocolate, be sure to try this Super Easy Chocolate Mousse Pie!
It's the most wonderful time of the year! The Holidays always mean lots of fun baking, visiting and shopping. I've already started making a few things for the weekend since we have family visiting this weekend and I want to have a few things already finished. I headed to my local Food Lion for ingredients.
As much as I love to bake fancy desserts, the kids seem to like the easiest and simplest – chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin pie from the can and Chocolate Mousse Pie. It might not be the fanciest dessert spread, but it certainly cuts down on the amount of work I have to do to prepare for Holidays! 🙂
This is the famous Chocolate Mousse Pie. You'll be amazed at how easy and how good it is!
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Food Lion. I received a promotional item to facilitate my shopping experience and review.

As mentioned in some earlier posts, in the past quarters, I have been looking into the role that Market Research professionals play (and can play) with regard to information management. I've had many enlightening conversations about this topic with both vendors and client-side market researchers.
Technology developments result in more and more information becoming available internally, and at different parts of the organization. Just think about all the data an average company collects or buys — media measurement data, advertising awareness, advertising spend, retail data, sales data, competitive intelligence, Web-tracking data (from listening tools), Web site tracking, marketing data (e.g., Nielsen Claritas), customer satisfaction surveys, brand trackers, and other primary research data, to name just a few. One vendor estimated that the average research department handles around 50 different research sources!
When I spoke with vendors about their relationship with clients, each and every one of them was looking for ways to increase the level of engagement. For one thing, they are working on best-in-class reporting tools to make it easier for clients to process their data and make it visually more interesting — and hopefully easier to use. However, not many vendors think further than their own set of data. When questioned, they mention that their systems don't allow for third-party data. Yes, it's possible to link to internal CRM systems, but that's about as far as things go.
Posted by Boris Evelson on August 10, 2010
Open source software (OSS) and business intelligence (BI) are two related market segments where Forrester sees continually increasing interest and adoption levels. BI specifically continues to be one of the top priorities on everyone's mind. The main reason? Enterprises that do not squeeze the last ounce of information out of their data stores and applications, and do not focus on getting strategic, tactical, and operational insight into their customers, products, and operations, risk falling behind competition. And when it comes to open source, 2009 could best be described as "the year IT professionals realized that open source runs their business." The reason is simple: Over the past few years, we've seen that developers adopt open source products tactically without the explicit approval of their managers. This has shown up in numerous surveys where the actual adoption of open source ranks higher than what IT managers report. Well no longer: Forrester's Enterprise And SMB Software Survey, North America And Europe, Q4 2009 shows that management has caught on to the fact that developers increasingly use open source to run key parts of their IT infrastructure. And management has grown increasingly comfortable with it. In fact, throughout 2009, most client inquiries Forrester received regarding open source were focused on how to move from tactical adoption to strategic exploitation.
Yet, when you put the 2 and 2 together (OSS and BI), you mostly get a mixed market, where one unfortunately has to compare apples to oranges. Why? Before plunging into a tool evaluation and selection process, ask yourself the following questions, and make sure you are doing a like-to-like comparison:

4 Classic T-RackS processors
These are all of the original T-RackS modules that achieved cult status. They maintain their great original sonic character, and have only been improved upon to give you absolutely no compromise in the sound quality of the T-RackS 3 signal path.
•Classic T-RackS Compressor, a classic tube stereo compressor/leveler designed for mastering
•Classic T-RackS Multi-band Limiter, a Multi-band stereo mastering limiter
•Classic T-RackS Clipper, a soft-clipping stage to create warm, saturated mastering effects
•Classic T-RackS Equalizer, a state-of-the-art six-band parametric equalizer, modeled on classic top quality analog gear which can now be used in Stereo or MS modes
New SCC technology
With over 10 years of experience in analog-modeled software, IK has been a pioneer in this technology and accumulated plenty of experience in the plug-in field. This has resulted in several improvements like their unique DSM (Dynamic Saturation Modeling) and now SCC (Sonic Character Cloning). SCC has been developed to clone the true behavior of an analog vintage processor down to its finest level of sonic detail for a faithful reproduction of all its tonal characteristics. This new emulation technology produces results that are indistinguishable from the originals, even for the professionally trained ear.
Many pieces of vintage gear tend to have original and interesting circuit topology, due to the creative solutions that engineers were sometimes forced to put into place in order to overcome the limitations of components' technology. However, many of these classic components can't be found anymore because their technology became obsolete and uneconomical. The ones that you can find have aged (some of the best sounding devices are 40-50 years old), playing a fundamental role in giving these devices a unique musicality that is what the purist would define as unmatched by even the most advanced processors today. Finally, many of the unique sonic characteristics of these magnificent vintage units sometimes depended on the erratic and unpredictable behavior of their electronics that would be considered unorthodox and unusable by today's science and standards.
That's where SCC comes in to save the day. Its technology has the ability, through a new analysis method developed by IK, to integrate all of the above and turn it into a mathematical algorithm that, for the first time, is able to take into consideration all of these complex variables and get an exact replication of the original. This is software emulation evolved to the point where it sounds so close to the real thing that you won't be able to tell the difference.

I am a user of the T-Racks Deluxe package but I must say that this standard package contains all you need. As I write this it is being sold as a "Stupid Deal of the Day" at $49.00. This is an insane price. I paid somewhere around $400.00 for the deluxe package and the deluxe package only offers a few more goodies that quite frankly you can live without if you have this standard package.I bought my T-Racks Deluxe after attending a mastering seminar with a well known producer who highly recommended it. I take mixes from my Tascam 2488 24 track DAW and import the mix into T-Racks. Wow!! T-Racks can make good recordings sound great. The compressors are better than any stand alone or rack compressors I have ever used. The parametric EQ is very sensitive and the all the other units work great. The software is easy to install and if you have earlier experience and knowledge of compressors and parametic EQ's you will be up and running in minutes. If you have little or no experince with the mastering process, just use one of the available presets and tweek it to you needs. The presets are excellent. If you have a home studio and decent monitors, this T-Racks software will blow you away. If your recordings are flat and dynamically unbalanced T-Racks can make good mixes sparkle and sound pro (if the performance is not good you will hear problems much clearer). It requires some work on your part but as you get into using it you'll wonder how you lived without it.

Comments about IK Multimedia T-RackS 3 Standard:
I will never buy another IK Multimedia product. Not because they aren't quality products, but because it is such a hassle to install! I have a MacBook Pro. I bought this software to use with Logic. The installation manager they use wouldn't work. It said I needed to download a newer version. The newer version won't work either! This seemed strangely familiar, then I remembered I bought Classic Studio Reverb last year and had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I sent message after message to the support team and they kept having me download another file from a different location. Then, there was a problem with the password they gave me. It took like 2 weeks to get it up and running. It is a great product, though. As far as T-RackS 3, I don't know yet because I'm still having the same issue for over a week and still have not got the install finished. I think their products are great, just their security measures are stupid. They need to know they are loosing customers because of something this stupid. They should make it easier to use their stuff.

Comments about IK Multimedia T-RackS 3 Standard:
I have had this for four years. When I got the software, it worked great. In the last 1.5 years, IK multimedia has tried to increase their security. I have no problem with that. Now you need to download an authorization manager to verify your copy. Again, that is fine. My issue is that the authorization manager is buggy and doesn't authorize my copy. I go through the steps, IK sends me an email that says it was authorized. I go to use it and get a HORRIBLE hiss. When I first heard it, I scoured my track to figure out where it was coming from. Had no idea T-racks was making it. I've contacted support multiple times. The ask me to redownload the authorization manager. I do that try again. A few times it has worked, but only for a matter of that session. Support is always very nice, but a few months ago I gave up on the software. It is too much frustration.

Painting Details & Logos Instead of Using Decals
My nephew has a '71 Mustang Mach 1 he's starting to restore and he wants to paint details like the Mach 1 Logo on the car, instead of applying decals, before the final clear coat.
I'm a graphic designer and use a Mac computer ... real familiar with Photoshop, etc. ... but does anyone know what software painters use to create stencils or where I can learn the ropes about the latest techniques of this part of the painter's toolkit?
Well, I'm not sure where you can learn the techniques.
We use paint instead of decals quite a bit on collectables. I'm not sure if it pays off because it's really labor intensive. We bought a plotter (vinyl cutter) and the software for it. Then learned how to use it from the manual. We create the artwork in the plotting program keeping in mind that the finished product will be masks. Multiple copies are then cut into masking material for each color to be sprayed. It helps to use an indexing mark or two outside the artwork. That way you can lay each mask in exactly the same location so the colors will be in the correct spot. Here's a couple of examples, these are all paint:
Thanks for your response, Larry.
Those plotters and the software for them are pretty expensive aren't they?
I'm wondering, if I provided artwork in Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop, would I be able to get a someone to cut us some vinyl stencils?
You could check your area for someone that does the vinyl lettering on trucks and signs. There used to be a guy around here that did that stuff. I saw his system. He could scan anything in and make it in vinyl. You could use them for stencils.
A few weeks ago, at a local car show, I saw a Ford PU that had the Emblems painted on the hood. I wish I had taken a picture of it, as they were amazing.
Go here and they can tell you where to get the proper stencils... You can buy them and paint them right on the car instead of using decals if you so choose... Just did one the other day on the hood of a Mach 1... Stripes as well as the 351 were al painted.. You can get them for the rear decklid to instead of the decal
you can also go here and register your Mach 1.. and they have allot of tips regarding "Factory" things.. placement of emblems, decals, what is factory what is not etc...
Aaron -- That's good to hear. Thanks, Bro'!
Rambo_The_Dog -- I've seen setups anywhere from $600 to $5,000 depending on the sizes ... do a search on Google for plotter vinyl cutter
BondoKing -- Thanks for those links, man! I'll dig in over there and see what's up. If we can just buy the stencils all ready to go for Mach 1 that sure would make life simpler!
I just thought I would give you a heads up I bought a hobby cutter 12" sticka by roland it has gotten a lot of use but as far as making the stencils you are needing it is limited not only by the 9.8 inches wide maximum but it will not cut any longer than 39.97 inches long. I thought I would be able to make a 4 foot stripe with it if i needed to but sadly it is not capable. I am a bit of a hacker as well so it isn't due to an inability to use the software or hardware the machine is simply not capable of doing it. I bought it on ebay 4 years ago for $450. I have figured out how to make 50 inch windshield strips but it won't make a solid stripe over 39.97".
As far as the file format illustrator & Corel Draw seem to be the norm. .eps .ai .cdr .pdf
Thanks, Mike!
I figured as much regarding sizes ... still, that's a larger size than I thought you'd be able to do with the smaller machines. Not bad at all.

Any sign shop can cut a stencil for you. I have a 24" plotter that we use.
It's not very expensive to do.
This was done with a stencil.
Those are great looking examples, too!

Jon Stewart Blasts Politicians Over BP Oil Spill
Posted on May 4, 2010Jon Stewart has weighed in on the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Jon Stewart showed several clips of politicians, including Sarah Palin and Barack Obama, explaining how safe off-shore drilling is. He then compared these clips of politicians to "scientists in the first reel of a disaster movie." Jon Stewart also poked fun at attempts by news anchors to explain the size of the oil spill.

InFocus IN120a Projector Series Delivers Content Without a PC
New projectors offer high-contrast, bright image and long-life lamp on a classroom budget
PORTLAND, Ore. - February 27, 2014 - Visual communications technology manufacturer InFocus Corporation (www.infocus.com) is again making the PC unnecessary for visual presentations with its latest low-cost line of projectors, the IN120a series, which can display content without being hooked up to a computer.
"Forget about the need to control your projector presentation from a laptop. The IN120a has a two gigabyte internal memory to hold your files and a USB slot for a thumb drive, so you can show your content without any PC at all," said InFocus product manager Ben Joy. "Yes, you can still connect it to a PC or other device with its HDMI and VGA hook-ups or wirelessly with an optional USB adapter but it's just not required anymore; making your presentation easier."
The IN120a family is comprised of the IN122a, IN124a and IN126a each of which delivers 3500 lumens and feature a high 15000:1 contrast ratio. Each can display 3D content from Blu-ray, PC or other devices and can present content such as Office documents, video, audio and photos wirelessly from a laptop or mobile device. The three models feature different resolutions to fit the needs of every environment. The IN122a has SVGA (800 x 600) resolution, the IN124a has XGA (1024 x 768) and the IN126a has WXGA (1280 x 800).
"With a bright 3500 lumens, a really high contrast ratio and InFocus' BrilliantColor™ implementation, these projectors display darker blacks, lighter whites and vibrant, true-to-life colors even in a well-lit room," continued Joy. "It's an especially great family of projectors for the classroom environment due to its portability, low purchase price and long-life lamps."
The lamp for the IN120a series lowers the overall cost of ownership because it lasts up to 7,000 hours. If one were to use one of these projectors three hours per day, five days a week on average, barring any physical accident, the lamp should last nine years. Additionally, the projectors weigh only seven pounds so they can be mounted or are portable enough to move easily between classrooms or conference rooms.
In addition to HDMI, VGA and USB-A and USB Mini-B, the IN120a series projectors have two VGA inputs, composite video, S-Video inputs and supports audio through RCA inputs and 3.5mm input and output ports.
The InFocus IN120a projector series is available for purchase through authorized resellers and at www.infocusstore.com in the U.S.

Thankful Thursday ~ Mom's teaching
1. Have you ever witnessed someone's misbehavior and shook your head thinking I know my mother did not raise that person!!??
My mother was a gentle teacher, but we got it when she said it and not only that, she demonstrated her lessons! I never once heard her curse and seldom heard her yell. Her English was impeccable and so were her manners; still are. Mom has had a series of strokes so her language is very limited now. Most of her communication is via a tablet of paper, but her lessons are still fresh in my mind.
2. What behavior do you thank your mother for instilling in you? Don't forget to tell her, Mom's like encouragement too! :-)
Thanks so much for joining me today. Please hop on over to Amanda's and join in the lively conversation already going on at Thursday Two Questions. Take care and God bless!

Grouting tile
I just got done grouting a ceramic tile floor but can't get under the toe kick on a vanity with the rubber float. What's the best (easiest) way to get into that tight space. Also, should I use grout there or caulk?
Got Fingers?:)
I was going to suggest a rubber glove and a handfull of grout. Thats how I do mosaics and it works just find. Smear the grout into the space, let it dry to a light haze on the tile and wipe off with a rag.
Huh, that would make sense. A little embarrassing. I definitely earned that newbie title didn't I? Thanks.
F. Nando:
When I can't fit a regular float between the faucets and spout when grouting bathroom wall tiles, I use a margin trowel with masking tape wrapped around the blade (to prevent marking the tiles).

Anonymous, I use parts of Lucy Calkins Units of Study program for writers workshop. The kids start "writing" the very first day of school. We've been working on stretching our words and recording the sounds we hear since mid September. The word because is on the word wall so they know that word wall words should be spelled correctly. Although, I'm sure you noticed that some of them sounded this word out rather than using the word wall. :)ReplyDelete
I love your site! Thanks for the great ideas. I'm sending you a blog award: http://www.kleinspiration.com/2011/11/i-am-happy-to-receive-this-award-from.htmlReplyDelete

text: I have a model 66 with 2.5 inch barrel that I like to carry sometimes in a PWL scabbard holster. The gun conceals as easily as a 1911 with 3 inch barrel, in my opinion. It weighs 32 ounces empty and shooting .357 magnum ammo is easy because of the weight. I like the good double action trigger on this model for rapid shooting, but it can be thumb cocked for very accurate slow shooting as well. I use Hogue Bantam grips, which absorb recoil well.
