I need YOUR opinion please
1 Attachment(s)
PLEASE look at my photos and give advice/suggestions on paint ect. for the living room. I don't care for the fireplace, the center is mirrored. I thought of possibly bricking the 1 wall but it would be hard to match the old brick on the fireplace.
Thanks in advance!
Family room paint
Think about putting up crown moulding. Paint a sand color. As for the fireplace--depending on budget. You might be able to find 12x12 marble in a nice color in HD or Loewes (I've seen it as low as 2.00sQ FT) and put it on the lower around the fireplace and hearth. As for above I would warp it in wood with trim and a nice mantle--that could set off a nice flat screen tv (the biggest part of the budget! HA). Don't want to hurt your feelings but it looks like red brick which was in in the 70's. Your other option is to paint the brick--I'd still put a mantle on it. Use the mirror somewhere else. I've seen people router out a 1x4 and use it for a frame around large mirrors and set them on the floor.:wink:
I saw something recently about stucco on an ugly brick fireplace. They added a mantle, it turned out great. It peaked my interest since my fireplace might look good with stucco.
The cut out might make a nice art niche with the mirror removed.
Stucco Fireplace
Stucco will work. Remember if you actually use the fireplace some smoke will likely stain the upper edge of white or any color stucco. Marble gives you the chance to clean it off a little easier. You could even put marble around the area of firepit and stucco the rest. Lots of choices.
I wouldn't DIY crown here unless you have experience and patience. The ceiling is sloped. If you go tight to ceiling and then transition to the horizontal it involves some trickery to make it work correctly. Cant advise on paint colors - just remember, paint is relatively easy and cheap to change. I would loose the mirror and look at building an mantel and an "over mantel". I would not paint the brick because thats pretty permanent. I would wrap the entire area above the harth in wood and loose the recess to facilitate the overmantel.

I had an idea :) Check out the photo, It might give you some great ideas!
All you need is a nice contemporary area rug and some furniture. Good for you!
Mucho Thanks!
:thumbup:Thank you all for your input, keep those comments coming! Escrow should be closing Sept. 20th. Sargegirl how did you do that? Is it a program? I would love to try different colors in the pic like that! What do you think about blinds? Any idea the general $$ of something like that?
I really like all the other ideas, especially about tiling around the fireplace and doing something different with the mirror.
I would also build a moderately chunky wood bookshelf on either side of the fireplace and use part to store wood and part for books or display. You could even make them low enough to put a cushion and use the tops as benches for additional seating.
I'd also love to know the name of the program that allows you to photograph your room and add decorating elements.
I used Photoshop to take the pic and I picked up online elements, resized some things and colored the walls. I know this isn't the ideal program, but it allows me to make "changes" without spending a dime :)

By Rick Blaisdell
One of the things all professionals involved in cloud computing agree on is this: the migration to the cloud is a complex process, and from the point of view of an IT department it can mean the largest and most complicated project they've ever been involved in.
As I have previously discussed, migrating to the cloud is more about helping your business lower its costs and add more services than it is about upgrading to a new technology. So at first glance, it may appear that the IT department is pushed aside. That's evident in fears in the IT industry concerning the effects the cloud has on enterprise IT departments, which I have explored in one of my previous articles, "Who's Afraid of the Cloud?" In that article, I concluded that it's clearly a time of change for enterprise IT. And it's definitely a moment for the IT department to get more involved and "own" the cloud, starting at the transitioning process.
So, what does transitioning to the cloud mean for the IT department?
- Firstly, a proactive attitude is needed. The intention to migrate to the cloud may have come from the CEO, the CFO, or other directors who were looking to cut costs and therefore asked their IT department to look into cloud computing services. But proactive IT managers could initiate the change as well. No matter who initiated it, the IT department needs to consider business requirements before actively committing to the project.
- Updating the IT departments' skills and learning about the new management tools in the cloud are also required. IT employees will need to know what cloud computing can do for the business and how the business will transition. The transition to the cloud has brought with it new job titles that you'll start to see on business cards, such as "cloud advisor," "cloud administrator," "cloud vendor managers," and so on. If the necessary expertise cannot be found within the department, people with the right skills will have to be employed or contractors will be brought in.
- Then, the IT department must have an honest and thorough look at all services provided to the business, and advise what can and should be moved to the cloud and what should not, making a strong business case for each.
- And all these factors do not even discuss the difficult part of managing and implementing the transition. Proper planning, efficient use of resources, integrating cloud and traditional IT services, managing internal capabilities and external providers—these are all challenges that the IT department will have to meet.
In short, transitioning to the cloud means change for the IT department: from technology to business, from technical to management. In the end, it's all about flexibility and efficiency — and that's to be expected, since they're the defining characteristics of cloud computing in the first place.
Rick Blaisdell is an accomplished technical and business leader and a pioneer in the cloud computing field and in delivering the next generation of business technology. Focused on results, he has implemented revolutionary solutions to cut costs and improve efficiency. He is a creative thinker and visionary in the area of cloud computing. You can read more about him on his personal website, www.rickscloud.com, or e-mail him directly at email@example.com.

Politically insane coworkers
Just started a new job and holy shit, there's a guy there who is just too much. I keep politics out of the workplace. IMO, nothing good comes of bringing political and/or religious conversations to work.
But, this guy is something else. His car us plastered with Romney and Republican stickers. He spends all day raving about Romney this, conservative that, Republican blah, blah, blah. I claim allegiance to neither party and generally have an attitude of fuck 'em both. I don't understand the partisan idiots who treat their political party like a sports team and blindly cheer them on.
I generally ignore the guy, but today he just kept coming to show me political ad videos and kept bitching about reports that electronic voting machines were switching Romney votes to Obama, but then came barging in to gleefully show me a video of "the greatest voting machine ever" as he called it that showed a voter trying to select Obama but it kept checking Romney. Do these idiots see their own hypocrisy? Do they even care?
To top it all off, today he bragged about turning around his giant Romney yard sign to display the message he'd prepared on the back. His message? "It's time to put a WHITE man back in the WHITE House!" Holy fucking shit. :eek:
You should see the racist bumper stickers in Idaho. If we had stickers like that on our vehicles in Calgary our tires would be slashed!

Uggg just glad it's almost over , then another 2 weeks of listening to people celebrate/complain about it........
+ 1000 :mad::mad:
At least you can enjoy rubbing it in this guys face tomorrow at work when Obama wins... unless he doesn't. In which case it sounds like you'll have one hell of a day listening to this nut job gloat
Sadely I think more people voted due to race and religion than anything this election. I've here endless arguments about this election end in either "well Obama doesn't believe in Jesus" or "we'll Obama is not a Christian".
I have not herd any outright racism as you have, but when people I know talk about being mad about not getting enough government funding for schools, hating how politicians have been attacking unions, hate greedy big business, and complain about how the wealthy pay less taxes than us, then the next day say they are voting for Romney. It makes me just beg the question... Lol
Things will be much quieter once this is all done with! Can't wait.
The GOP has used religion to secure the trailer park vote for years. I wonder how many of them realize Romney is not Christian? :laugh:
What's this election thing?

What is a barium enema?
A barium enema is an X-ray procedure that examines your colon. The colon, also called the large intestine, is a long, hollow organ in your abdomen. It removes water from digested material and forms feces. A barium enema helps diagnose intestinal symptoms, such as changes in bowel movements, abdominal pain, or rectal bleeding.
A barium enema is also called a lower GI (gastrointestinal tract) series or lower GI tract radiography. It makes still pictures as well as moving images. It uses a special type of X-ray called fluoroscopy.
The procedure involves putting barium inside the colon through a tube inserted into the rectum. Barium is a chalky metallic contrast material. It illuminates the colon to show detailed images of the inside of the colon.
A barium enema is only one method used to diagnose colon conditions. You may have less invasive testing options. Consider getting a second opinion about all of your testing choices before having a barium enema.

"Have you watched Justin Bieber lately? He is living a George Jones song!" Paisley declared during a press conference over the weekend for London's second Country to Country Festival. "Johnny Cash sang about drug abuse... adultery and all these things that are really popular now," Paisley added, noting that country was "ahead of the game" compared to tabloid sensations like Bieber.

Restituted Christ painting highlight of Old Master auctions
By Chris Michaud
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A 16th-century painting of Christ carrying the cross which was recently restituted to the heirs of a Jewish-Italian businessman is expected to sell for about $3 million at auction this week.
"Christ Carrying the Cross," by Italian painter Girolamo Romanino, was restituted by a U.S. District Court in February to the heirs of Federico Gentili di Giuseppe, a Parisian art collector who died in 1940.
The work is expected to fetch a top price at Christie's Old Masters sale on Tuesday, which could total more than $10 million for some 100 lots on offer.
"'Christ Carrying the Cross' is a masterpiece of the Italian High Renaissance, which could hang in any major museum," said Nicholas Hall, co-chairman of Old Masters and 19th-century art. "A picture of this importance by the artist has not been available on the market for more than a decade."
The work was returned to the Gentili de Giuseppe heirs only weeks ago, capping a more than decade-long process that began with a 1999 Parisian court ruling that nullified the 1941 sale of the businessman's estate.
Gentilli di Giuseppe's heirs have had works returned to them over the years from institutions including the Louvre in Paris and Berlin's Gemaldegalerie, while the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Art Institute of Chicago have also settled with them.
Other highlights of the sale include Sir Peter Paul Rubens' sketch for "The Adoration of the Magi." It is estimated to sell for up to $1 million.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is selling "The Ruins" and "The Old Bridge," two works by 18th century French landscape artist Hubert Robert, which have a price tag of between $800,000 to $1.2 million. Continued...

Union College Hockey to Play Outdoors
According to the Times Union, the Union College Men's hockey team will play their January 13th game against Harvard from Boston's Fenway Park.
The men of Union College hockey are busy readying themselves for this season's third game against cross-town and chief rival R.P.I. They've already beaten the Engineers twice, by a combined score of 10-1, and followed those wins by beating perennial power house Michigan 4-0 in Ann Arbor. By all accounts it has been a big season for the Dutchmen who find themselves ranked ninth in the country according to a December 4th USA Today/American Hockey Magazine poll.
Certainly then, they were the perfect choice to be ECAC rival Harvard's opponent in a January 13th game from the infield of Fenway Park…Or maybe they were the perfect choice because the two already had a game scheduled for that day in Cambridge. I can't be sure, but let's go with the first one – it's a nicer story. Regardless, for what ever reason, following an opening act of division three teams Babson and Norwich, Harvard and Union will renew their rivalry in an outdoor setting for the first time in ECAC history.
The game will be just one in a string of events known as 'Frozen Fenway.' The festival, which will run for the better part of the January, will feature high school and college games as well as free skate activities. Ticket information can be found on the Fenway Park Website. Frozen Fenway won't be the first time hockey has come to Fenway, though. The NHL's 2010 Winter Classic featured a Flyers-Bruins matchup from the historic park.
So as the Dutchmen prepare for Saturday's matchup with R.P.I., they most certainly do so with an eye toward January 13th. It is, after all, a chance to be thrust into the national spotlight, an attention that so routinely alludes college hockey until it's Frozen Four championship in the spring. Good luck to Union.

Be extremely careful when using this material. It is caustic and causes a chemical burn of the skin. Do not be fooled by it's "natural ingredients". This stuff causes scarring and I have treated several bad scars on the face. Do not use... READ COMMENT

Review of jail plans, specs on schedule
Custer County's long-needed update of its jail and justice and law enforcement offices is on schedule, with county commissioners and sheriff's department personnel meeting with Mike Stevenson of Stevenson Design, lead architect on the new detention center, to look over plans and specifications for everything from door locks to basketball hoops.
Stevenson showed commissioners and sheriff's department officials the completed designs. Construction documents will be ready by mid-February, giving prospective contractors a month to look over the plans before submitting bids, which will be due in mid-March. A site walk-through will be scheduled for interested contractors so they can examine the site and get questions clarified.
Related bids, for asbestos removal and abatement and for two generators, are already in the works, with grants applied for to assist with funding both of these projects. The old generator must be removed, as well as the old fuel tank, as part of that project.
In addition, gas and electrical lines that serve the current court house must be moved to provide for site clearance.
Total estimated cost for the project, including various contingencies, is $7,167,563. This does not include the asbestos and generator projects, which are being funded separately. A 20-year bond issue was approved in September to fund the project.
Work will begin with the removal of the old 1906 jail, which is currently closed and cannot be used for holding prisoners as it is so below modern safety and security requirements. The current garage attached to the old jail and an addition on the north side of the Senior Citizen's Center also will be removed. The Center has given approval for demolition of the addition, which is used primarily for storage.
The current Emergency Operating Center will be substantially remodeled, and the ground-floor level that recently housed the Custer County Public Health Department will be gutted internally and completely remodeled.
The new detention center will be built on the site of the current jail and garage.
The completion date for Phase One of the project, which is the primary construction phase, is scheduled for February of 2015, with occupancy at that time. Weather and other factors may affect the project schedule. Phase Two will be completed, which will include landscaping and final inspection, later in 2015.
In addition to separate cells for women, men and juveniles, the new detention center will also have activity and program space for inmates to provide for exercise and other activities. The kitchen will not be fully equipped to produce meals for inmates, but space is planned for updating the kitchen at a later date if desired.
Other necessary improvements will be made to security and to provide handicap accessibility.
Remodeling will also take place in the courthouse and offices will be moved. The final assignment of offices to departments such as the Drug Task Force and Juvenile Probation has not yet been determined.
There will be some minor modification of the plans as the need arises.
Stevenson said the time frame for letting bids means "we can get some good numbers." He added that while many of the contractors in Billings are busy, this project should be large enough to attract a number of contractors from around the region.
There was also discussion of making sure the bidder chosen was experienced with this type of project. Stevenson suggested that bidders include, among their references, the last three detention projects that the contractor has worked on. State law requires the "lowest responsible bidder" be chosen, but a contractor with no detention experience might not be seen as meeting that requirement.

text: Just noticed that sometime last week we made our 1 billionth bid using real-time bidding (RTB) on behalf of our clients, agencies and advertisers. Specifically, these bids were made on the RTB inventory platforms that we are live on: AdMeld, AdX and PubMatic. The positive trends in impressions won through RTB we blogged about earlier continue: higher CPMs for publishers as well as better eCPA and CTR for advertisers. Google's AdX is the latest RTB platform that was integrated with Turn. So far we have won auctions on AdX on behalf of 113 advertisers and agencies, and results are good. Overall RTB is a small but rapidly growing inventory source at Turn. Combined with the fact that we are usually early adopters, one can conclude that RTB volumes are still relatively small out there. But if I look at the rates of their growth over the last few months, I see 2010 as a year of dramatic increase for getting inventory in real time.

Hi all,
I just switched to the Eden Beta and MQ3. I have been using MQ2 since I started with XBMC. I have noticed one issue though. If I go to Movies and arrow down to the sub-menu, some of them do not work. I use "Year" quite a bit to look at the newest movies added to my library. When I select year now, I get the next menu to pick a year, but when I pick that year, no movies show up. Some of the other submenus work fine though. Am I doing something wrong or is this just one of the bugs that needs worked out?
I'm using the multiplex view if that matters.
Thanks for any help.
I just switched back to the standard skin and the year option works fine. Am I missing something here??

Since you already isolated the problem to the skin it sounds like a bug.
Best thing to do is to log the bug at http://code.google.com/p/mod-skin/issues/list so that it will be brought to marcos attention.

I did that already. Marcos said he isn't seeing the same issue. I'm going to try a fresh install and see if that fixes anything.
Thanks for the reply.

Like the saying goes: 'It ain't trickin' if you got it' but in Bryant McKinnie's case it is.
The owner (and father of Trick Daddy), Maurice "Pop" Young filed a lawsuit against McKinnie in an attempt to reclaim his funds on an outstanding debt in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.
Little Known Fact: The Vice President of Queen of Diamonds
and nan nigga is rapper, Maurice Young b.k.a. Trick Daddy.
What? Did you think he was just living off of residuals? Trick stays eatin.' Need more people? Ask Trina.
But that's neither here nor there.
The Baltimore Ravens' offensive lineman racked up a staggering tab of $375,000 at Miami strip club, Queen of Diamonds and the owner is demanding his pay!
I can only imagine how this money was spent. For some reason (read: common sense) I fail to believe it was incurred on just makin' it rain on some booty claps. Can you say, 'private back room shows?' I know I can.
The debt amassed between February 2009 and September 2010, when McKinnie borrowed the money from Young to make it rain on the club's big booty strippers.
Let's allow that comment to marinate. Now, it's tacky when paupers such as ourselves spend rent money on Team Twerk, but it's downright déclassé when an athlete (read: someone with wealth) has to borrow money to do the same.
Here's the dirt:
The rapper's father and CEO of Q.O.D., Charles "Pop" Young, filed the lawsuit on Monday afternoon.
It's reported by Young that McKinnie's paper trail began at
your favorite rapper's playpen for vice King of Diamonds–when he was the general manager. After that, McKinnie began frequenting other clubs at which he was present like the Diamonds Gentlemen's Club, where Young acts as the vice president.
McKinnie, I see what you did there: If he's
spending lending than you're gettin' it borrowing. Sidebar: This idiom was brought to you by 2 Chainz.
Well, there you have it. It goes to show that even athletes are susceptible to trickin' when Big Booty Judys are involved.
Here's my two cents: How did Young allow McKinnie to borrow $375K over a 19-month period? Street Code clearly dictates 'don't lend the second time until you are reimbursed your cash in full from the first stint.' Doesn't Young know this? Or, did he put his hustlin' mentality aside to appease a celebrity?

Hey, I was wondering if anyone else has seen this:
I recently got some RA9TA Winchester 127 +P+ Ranger 9mm ammo. It shoots great.
I notice that around the brass primer of every single round (I bought 2 boxes of 50) there is a bunch of grit&crud of some type. It looks like sand.
It doesn't seem to effect performance but what is this debris & why is it there? Has anyone else seen this?

Test 1
Cool down: A continuous cool from Cone 6 to 1500°F at -150° per hour.
Test 2
Cool down: An uncontrolled drop from 2200°F to 1750°F, then -50° per hour from 1750°F to 1500°F.
Results: The cooling was slower from 2200°F down to 1450°F. Because the solubility of iron in glaze decreases at lower temperatures, I cooled at Zc the speed between 1750°F and 1500°F. The result was a substantially textured surface, with much visible variation, and crystals of a variety of colors breaking the surface. The glossy black was gone, and the surface variation uniformly distributed. There were a relatively small number of largish particles. The color was intermixed red, bronze and mud brown. Bronze predominated where the glaze was thickest. I interpreted this as substantial particle growth below 1750°F, with little precipitation of new particles.
Test 3
Cool down: An uncontrolled drop to 1750°F, then -50° per hour to 1600°F, a hold at 1600°F for one hour, then -50° per hour to 1500°F.
Results: By adding a one-hour hold at 1600°F, the color shifted from gold/brown to red/gold. The red and brown regions followed the throwing lines, indicating that glaze thickness has significant influence. The strength of this effect showed there is a critical region for this glaze's development somewhere near the temperature 1600°F.
Test 4
Cool down: An uncontrolled drop to 1750°F, hold at 1750°F for half an hour, then -50° per hour to 1650°F, hold at 1650°F for one hour, then -50° per hour to 1500°F.
Results: Adding a half-hour hold at 1750°F and a one-hour hold at 1650°F gave smaller particles and a near-smooth, lustrous satin, variegated bronze glaze with small specks of red and brown. The original glossy black was completely gone. Color variation in the throwing line showed the considerable effect that glaze thickness has. The half-hour hold at 1750°F facilitated the formation of a large number of small particles, leaving little free iron to add to crystal growth later. This uniform result was much like a pointillist painting, with exceedingly fine points. Moving the hold from 1600°F up to 1650°F could have a similar effect. Alternatively, we could see this change as a result of the glaze spending more time in the critical temperature interval for crystal development.
Test 5
Cool down: An uncontrolled drop to 1800°F, then -50° per hour to 1450°F.
Results: As the previous test result could have come from extended time in the crystal growing range, or specifically from the hold at 1650°F and 1750°F, I gave this firing just as much time in the sensitive zone, but uniform decrease in temperature over the extended region. The results were similar to the previous test, but with larger grain size and a lizard-skin feel to the texture. The glaze was mottled and less uniform. The smooth satin look was gone. I concluded one of the holds in the previous test hit the "sweet spot," at which point many small particles form. I did not know at which level.
Test 6
Cool down: An uncontrolled drop to 2000°F, then -50° per hour to 1650°F.
Results: The slow cool from 2000°F to 1650°F gave a surface and color as in test 1, with a much greater number of gold particles. This also shows that the effects of test 4 depended on the 1650°F hold. This critical test showed that the greater color effect I wanted needed two holds.
Test 7
Cool down: From Cone 6 to 2100°F at -50° per hour, then uncontrolled cooling to 1700°F, then -25° per hour to 1600°F.
Results: To test a second slow-cooling region, the kiln was cooled quickly from the top temperature to 1700°F, then slowly to 1600°F. The result was an intensely variegated effect with relatively few but larger particles in red and brown. The throwing lines were not prominent, so glaze thickness was not as important. The texture is lizard-skin satin, not the gloss of tests 1 and 5, nor the smooth satin of test 4. This result was related, but not quite like anything previous. This could be a jumping off point for a new series of tests.
|with glaze recipe GA16 Variation (cone 6)
One of the more fascinating, sometimes frustrating, parts of ceramics is learning to balance the innumerable factors that affect the outcome of a firing. Glaze ingredients, the clay body used, firing cycles, atmospheres, kiln-stacking techniques and geography (to name a few variables) can all affect firing results.
This may be frustrating if you don't control those variables, but if you do, there is opportunity for new discoveries. By changing just one variable, the same glaze recipe can be deliberately manipulated to yield different results. In this instance, I decided to investigate one variable in an iron-rich glaze: the cooling period.
I achieved greatly differing results in a single glaze with a single clay body, consistent glaze thickness and application, and the same heating schedule for all of the firings. The differences in the resulting appearance of the glaze on the pots came exclusively from their heat treatment after they reached maturity.
When the witness cone bends, the glaze should be fully vitrified. The kiln has reached temperature, but has not yet begun to cool. I studied what happens between that point and the return of the kiln to room temperature. I found that I could get a glossy black surface, a densely textured rough surface, a golden red/mud color, or anything in between, just from different cooling schedules.
How does this happen?
At the top of the firing cycle, the glaze is matured, but not watery; it doesn't flow off the pot. At this point, the glaze is not a homogenous melt, but a mixture of several melts. It is not fully blended. It may contain a dissolved second phase-in our case an iron compound-analogous to sugar dissolved in hot tea. More sugar dissolves in hot tea; less as the tea cools. The sugar precipitates as crystals as the tea cools. Our glaze, when melted, has a dissolved iron compound-the "sugar" in the tea. The iron precipitates as the glaze cools. So how does the iron form in the glaze?
Glaze is more complex and more viscous than tea, inhibiting motion. The iron crystals cannot precipitate and sink to the bottom of the glaze, nor can they grow very large, as the iron ions do not congregate in the same location. Instead, as the glaze cools, the dissolved iron separates out, forming numerous small crystals suspended in the glaze. The number of particles, and their eventual size, is affected by the surface texture of the underlying clay body, the cooling speed of the melt, the thickness of the glaze application and several other factors. The competition between the number and size of particles as the glaze cools results in the variety of desirable effects (see accompanying figures).
As it cools, the glaze becomes progressively more viscous and less mobile, until it reaches a temperature at which it "freezes" and nothing can move or precipitate within it. If the glaze is held at a temperature high enough to permit continued mobility of the iron into progressively larger crystals, but low enough that the glaze doesn't run off the pot, the surface will become matt. The multitude of tiny iron particles disrupt light transmission. Otherwise, the glaze solidifies with the same smooth, glossy surface as it had while fully melted. If the glaze is cooled quickly, few visible, very small particles form. Most of the visible color is the reflection off the smooth surface. This gives an aesthetically pleasing clear glossy black glaze, somewhat akin to a temmoku (see test 1). The opacity and depth of the glossy black show that the glaze can dissolve quite a lot of iron.
As the glaze cools and becomes more viscous, crystals begin to form at edges and imperfections in the body. If the glaze layer is thin, different kinds and shapes of crystal will form. If the crystals are stuck to the clay body at the bottom of a thick opaque glaze layer, they will be largely invisible. Crystals that float on top of the glaze give the appearance of sandpaper, which can present utilitarian problems. We want the crystals near the surface but not on it, large enough to create surface and color effects, but not be overwhelming.
A series of cool-down profiles with lots of jigs and jags showcases a different phase, exposing a range of surface effects. This translates into profiles with one or more narrow temperature ranges with extreme slow cooling and/or long holds, and possibly no retarded cooling outside the selected ranges. Since extended firing cycles can be costly, I framed my experiments with a maximum extension to the firing cycle of four hours.
I started out with the firing profile in Hesselberth and Roy's Mastering Cone 6 Glazes. The ramp for reaching temperature was a fast rise (200°F in the first hour, then 500°F per hour to 2100°F) until the last three hours, which had a rise of approximately 30°F per hour. Orton cones showed a hard Cone 6. These firings were done in a very old Skutt 1227 with a computer controller. I examined the results of my firings and based my next firings on those results, only changing one factor with each firing. I chose 1450°F as a low end for controlled cooling, selecting intervals for markedly slow cooling in the temperature range 2200°-1450°F.
With this limited series of tests, I produced a variety of textures and colors, by "poking" the cool-down profile. Each firing included several identically glazed test pieces distributed throughout the kiln. I obtained an encouraging indication that the different results were caused by the cooling-down profiles and not extraneous effects. I next will explore whether maximal particle size growth takes place "hotter" than the temperature at which the greatest number of particles is formed. Cooling to approximately 1600°F, then reheating to around 1800°F should obtain both good numbers and development of microcrystals.

Today we be one year old! I be happy n healthy. Me foster mom sometimes waves at my furever mom at the grocery! My furever mom likes to see and da couch and I stays with her and she pet me and I purrrr. She too old to do Catster me guesses, but she gives me yummy treats and I have lots and lots of attention. Life is good!
Wow! I made my whole diary, then oops lost it. I will try to put together what I know about my familzzz
They were probably family to big sister, Miranda, living somewhere in the country near Asbury University's horse farm. My sister (Kitten 1) and I were probably born in April, 2011. I guess they decided we could not stay and put us in the car and drove up to the farm property and put us out. We had each other, so we probably had fun. Atlas (half wolf, half shepherd) who takes care of the kitties and horses found us and brought us to the barn and showed us where to find yummy food and the best soft hay to sleep in away from big horse feet. When the barn peeplz came, he had to us to them.
These were about six college students and Miranda's family Stephanie and Siobhan who run the farm horse camp. When we came to them, they took care of us and put us in a special classroom with air conditioning away from the other barn kitties. We got to play with the camp children which was a lot of fun! At the end of the week, one camper took sister home. And a camper's grandmother adopted me.
I live with a grandmother peeplz who gives me delicious food and my own special bed. We live in her quiet house, but her grandchildren come to visit and play with me. I love sitting on her lap watching TV. I will live a very loved quiet life as an inside best grandma's friend.
Now I get to tag (hopes I don't get someone already tagged!)

My sister found a new home and I started to worry. What would I do all alone. I saw them leaving and became really afraid. Almost didn't see the nice lady that was there. She picked me up, but I was looking for my sister. She started to pet me, talk to me, scratch between my ears. Ahh. Then suddenly I was in a cat carrier. I am going home with her! Sister and I both got homes on the same day! This is a grandmother kind lady. And I will sit on her lap and pur and she will give me ymmy treats and both of us will never be lonely because we have each other. Like sis, I don't know if my new owner will keep up my catster page, but I am also in a very loving home.

A nice and rather out-of-the way hutAs you can see in the picture, the Sudetendeutsche Hütte is placed in a privileged spot. It stands about nine hundred meters over the valley and offers lodging for those climbers willing to have a go at the Granatzspitze Group of the Hohe Tauern Alps (Osttirol, Austria). Amongst other summits, Blauspitze, Kendlspitze, Muntanitz or Gradoetzspitze can be reached from the hut. Considered as a whole, a high mountain area rather scarcely visited. Great views over Grössglockner from most of the summits, by the way!
Accomodation is offered in private rooms and in common rooms (Matratzenlager), the food is fine and there is a friendly welcome. A couple of hints: pay your bill before going to bed, and do have a try at an outdoor dinner on the terrasse when in nice weather. Of course, we don't want anyone catching a cold ;)
How to get there? The closest city is Matrei in Osttirol. There's a cable car close to the southern end of the city, climbing up to Goldried. From that point on, it's a five to six hours walk via the Kalsmatreier Törhaus, Kalser Hohe, Hohe Tor and the Durrenfelderscharte (follow the paint marks or the signposts marked "Sudetendeutsche Hohenweg").
Other possibilities are driving to the small village of Glanz (on the mountainside, east of Matrei) to leave your car and walk along the path known as Edelweisswiese towards Steiner Alm and the hut, or leave the car on the road between the Felbertauerntunnel and Matrei and make directly for Steiner Alm and the hut.

PITTSBURGH -- Jason Bay's All-Star break got a lot better with only two swings of his bat.
Bay, slumping for more than a month, hit a two-run home run off Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano while driving in four Pirates runs and left-hander Shane Youman held Chicago to two runs over six innings in Pittsburgh's 6-2 victory Sunday.
The Cubs were one of the majors' hottest teams with 11 wins in 13 games before dropping two of three to the Pirates, who go into the All-Star break off a modest surge of four consecutive series victories and five wins in six games against division rivals Chicago and Milwaukee.
The Pirates are 40-48 at the break, eight games below .500 but much improved from their 30-60 of a season ago. The Cubs are 44-43 despite not hitting a homer in their last nine games -- their longest such streak since going 10 in a row in mid-July 1988.
"We haven't hit the ball out of park and, sooner or later, we've got to start scoring some runs that way," manager Lou Piniella said.
Bay knows exactly what he means.
"A home run was the last thing on my mind, the way things were going," he said.
Bay was an All-Star game starter in Pittsburgh while hitting 35 home runs and driving in 109 runs last season but, until he homered for the first time since June 22, was 1-for-24. That slump was part of an even deeper 14-for-109 (.128) slide that caused Bay's batting average to tumble from .314 on June 1 to .250.
"I wouldn't write my ticket to the Hall of Fame just yet, but it feels a lot better going into three or four days off on this note rather than going in on a bad one -- I got some hits, some timely hits," Bay said. "Yeah, this is huge for me."
Bay has carried the Pirates' offense the last three seasons, yet they won nine of their final 13 before the break without much production from him. He had only one homer and seven RBI in his previous 25 games.
"Sometimes you feel like you've never been in the batters box before," Bay said. "Everything is off, your timing is off, you're missing pitches, you're scrambling to hit pitches you can't hit. It's just been a battle. I wasn't helping the team much."
Zambrano was 4-0 at PNC Park previously and was 7-1 with a 3.05 in nine road starts this season, but one bad inning did him in. Nate McLouth walked and Xavier Nady had a two-out RBI single in the third ahead of Bay's 13th homer, a drive into the center-field bullpen.
Zambrano would seem to be a difficult pitcher to face while in a slump, but Bay is 12-for-33 (.364) with five home runs, four doubles, 16 RBIs and six strikeouts against him. Bay also had a two-run single in a four-run eighth against Bob Howry after the Pirates loaded the bases with none out on singles by Freddy Sanchez, Adam LaRoche and Nady.
"Either I strike him out or he hits a home run," Zambrano said. "You can't make a mistake against a hitter like that, they make you pay."
Zambrano (10-7) limited the Pirates to four hits over seven innings -- they had two harmless singles in the fourth -- but still lost for the first time in four decisions. He also missed out on what would have been an NL-leading 11th victory, losing to Pittsburgh for the second time this season.
"I had a rough time in the first two innings with my windup," said Zambrano, who didn't feel comfortable on the mound until making an adjustment following Bay's homer. "I changed my delivery right after that."
Youman is 2-0 since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis for his only two career victories, furthering the Cubs' problems against left-handed starters, who are 14-8 against them. He allowed plenty of base runners -- eight in six innings -- but worked his way out of major problems with minimal damage several times.
"That's what they've preached to me since the low minors, damage control," Youman said. "Making guys swing the bats without too much happening."
Aramis Ramirez, Mark DeRosa and Mike Fontenot singled to load the bases with none out in the second, but Youman got the next two hitters following Angel Pagan hit a sacrifice fly. DeRosa doubled as the Cubs put three of their first four batters on base in the sixth, but Ramirez grounded into a double play and Fontenot grounded out.
Shawn Chacon replaced Youman and retired all six batters he faced before Matt Capps pitched the ninth in a non-save situation.
The Pirates have won six of eight series. ... The Cubs had won four consecutive series. They remain 4½ games back in the NL Central as division leader Milwaukee lost 7-2 in Washington. ... Cubs SS Ryan Theriot and 2B Fontenot were College World Series-winning teammates of Youman's at LSU in 2000. ... Zambrano had won his last six road decisions. ... Chicago came into the series winning 21 of 31.

Watch: First Trailer for Kickstarter-Funded Film 'Down and Dangerous'
by Alex Billington
February 12, 2013
Source: The Film Stage
A smuggler bleeds like anyone else. He just gets more chances to prove it. I think what they prove here is how far you can go with a little bit of money. Our friends at The Film Stage have tipped us to a trailer for Down and Dangerous, directed by Zak Forsman and The Sabi Company, a cocaine smuggling drama starring John T. Woods (Heart of Now, S-VHS). Forsman is well known in the crowdfunding world for his many projects, but this is his latest, an impressively well-made microbudget crime thriller called Down and Dangerous that looks like it belongs at major film festivals. Give it a shot, you'll see it actually looks great.
Watch the first official trailer for Zak Forsman's Down and Dangerous, found via The Film Stage:
Always one step ahead of the Feds, Paul Boxer (Woods) is the most inventive and principled smuggler in the trade, and has never needed to carry a gun. When violent mid-level traffickers coerce him into designing a foolproof plan to bring several kilos of cocaine across the México border, he maneuvers to rid himself of their hold over him once and for all. But when a sharp-witted woman from his past enlists his help to escape this rival outfit, Paul must confront the man that is hunting him down, and choose between his livelihood as a smuggler and his integrity as a man. The film was successfully funded for about $40,000 on Kickstarter last year. It will be premiering at the upcoming Phoenix Film Festival. For more info, visit their Facebook.

That being said apparently my injury is not that uncommon.
Nice on the recovery. I injured both of my talus' in two different incidents one season after the next.
Luckily I was able to ride after the injury but both times I needed arthroscopic surgery in the off season to repair the damage.
I had the same fracture last year on my right talus when my ankle ratchet let go while I was 20 feet off the ground. It wasn't as bad as yours though. Doctor taped me up and told me to take a month off. I was back on the hill the next week.
I don't work out but I do try to find the time to skate and do the balance board thing. That seems to keep my legs tuned up enough. Working two full time jobs is a health hazard.
Phenomenal shape, thats what she said.
Anyway glad it wasnt anything major. Hope u get back soon
Ugh, that boot reminds me of when I broke my fibula and dislocated my ankle last year. I totally missed last season.
Hope you have a speedy recovery man.
|You shoulda asked for two of them casts, stick some base plates on the bottom and you'd be good to go!
Fractured Talus + More!
So here is a fun story for you folks!
2 weeks ago I was just messing about on a bright and sunny morning on Kirkwood's backside.
I had been hitting this little rock jump at the bottom of Cold Shoulder.
I was feeling great and everything was just flowing.
Just after meeting up with my fiancee We decided to do a run down Elevator Shaft which is a very steep but easy run.
Basically everyone just goes as fast as their aerodynamics and skill level will let them.
I had been working on my buttering and earlier that morning I was able to do a little tripod/manual type thing at speed.
Of course being with my fiancee amped me up a bit more and I decided to do a tripod at stupid speed.
Needless to say after about 10 feet of the balancing on my tail I slipped and fell onto my stomach. No big deal. I figured I'd just dig my toeside edge in, stop myself from sliding at mach10 and continue with my day.
Here is where shit gets real.
The edge on my Jones Mountain Twin had no problem getting traction and stopping me. However, the rest of my 155lb body said screw that we are going straight.
I don't know exactly what happened after but I remember feeling the speed lances on my Burton SLX release. Yup! My boot's laces released while strapped in.
I stopped shortly after that and flipped onto my back and sat up. I thought for sure I sprained my ankle.
The X-Rays said that everything was as it should be. Nothing conclusive. Off to the MRI with me!
I got the results back Monday.
It turns out I now have a stress fracture completely across my talus.
I also partially tore a tendon and ligament.
My doctor has never seen an injury like this related to snowboarding. She has seen it in auto crashes though.
Recovery Time
I will be snowboarding by the end of January if all goes well!
The reason for the quick recovery? In her words. I am in phenomenal shape.
What I Learned
1) Emotions. I gotta keep them in check.
This never would have happened if I had been using my head.
2) Be aware of your relative speed.
I shouldn't have tried this trick at such speed.
I shouldn't have tried to stop myself so quickly and let me self slow down a little.
3) Going to the gym pays off in unexpected ways! +1 Durability. (sorta)
I trained a lot harder this summer than I normally did.
I have been taking a break since I started snowboarding for the season.
However, I will be picking it back up once fully healed and PT clears me.
My new best friend
I got lucky. This could have ended my season.
Don't let this happen to you.

It's Friday, which means it's time for me have a look around the internet and high street stores to find a fantastic bargain for you to play while your other half/parent/mate wraps up your Christmas pressies. This weeks pick was suggested to me by a Community Twiddler and after some searching I've managed to find the game (or games) for a grand total of £3.00
The Arcade Collection is, rather then just a single title, a collection of arcade games (Come on, you saw that coming..right?) contained in one single disc. Uno, Boom Boom Rocket, Pac Man CE, Luxor 2 and Feeding Frenzy are all included here and when you consider the combined price of each if brought from XBLA it's even better value. As this collection contains more then one game probably the best thing to do is take a look at each title on its own merits.
Infamous for being the Xbox Live version of 'Chat Roulette', Uno brings the classic card game to the console. Single player against the AI is possible but the real meat of the game (sometimes literally) lies in the multiplayer portion of the game. With an online community still going strong it's very easy to find a game. Nice crisp graphics, fun and relaxing gameplay and avatar and Live Camera support; Uno is a really nice and simple game which is surprisingly addictive. Just make sure you're careful with who you are playing against!
At its core a rhythm game, BBR puts you in charge of a fireworks display. By hitting the correct buttons in time with the music the fireworks will explode correctly. It's very simple but surprisingly difficult and the harder settings will see you head-butting your TV in frustration..or is that just me? Not a bad game but not an instant classic ether.
Almost a cross between Zuma and Galaxian, Luxor is…well…strange. Small coloured balls come pouring out of an opening and wind their way through a loop or a wiggly line or some other pattern. You're given a cannon that launches similarly coloured balls at the moving loops and your goal is to break up the loops before they get to the very end of the stage by creating three or more combinations of same-colored balls I'm not sure what I can say about this one apart from it's 'ok'. If you like Zuma and puzzle type games then I'm sure you will find this enjoyable.
It's Pacman! What's not to like here?! The CE edition differs slightly from the game we're typically used in that you have 4 or 5 'modes' to play through rather than just the normal standard style game. Each mode has a time limit imposed and your goal is to survive until the time runs out. Graphics are brought into the 21st century with bright techno style artwork and seizure inducing flashes. Very addictive and very fun, Pacman never fails to bring a smile to my face.
You're a fish who is hungry. You have to eat food. You grow bigger the more you eat. This lets you eat bigger fish. That's pretty much all there is to Feeding Frenzy; it's really that simple. However simple does not always mean rubbish and it's surprisingly easy to pick up but pretty hard to put down.
In total all these arcade games would cost you over 2000 MSP from the XBLM so for £3 it's a fantastic bargain. Stand out titles have to be Pacman CE and Uno but the others included here will appeal to different people and there will almost certainly be something here to suit everyone. Each title also has 200g to gain, just like their downloadable counterparts, so you get the best of both worlds (No, not that Miley Cyrus song). The only downside to getting these on disc is that you are unable to install the games to your HDD. Even if you install the game, each title will still load from the disc as if you have not which is slightly annoying. If you love some cheap XBLA games, pick this collection up now. DO IT!
The Arcade Collection is available from CEX for £3.00 for Xbox 360.
Thanks to Ryan (@slaptarze) for this weeks game. Got a suggestion for a game you want me to hunt down and try? Mail me at email@example.com but be warned, if it's rubbish I shall hurt you!

China puts prominent writers under house arrest as Kerry visits
By Megha Rajagopalan
BEIJING (Reuters) - A prominent writer who has angered China by advocating Tibetan rights said she and her husband were placed under house arrest during a visit to Beijing by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
Tsering Woeser told Reuters that state security officers had prevented her and her spouse, author Wang Lixiong, from leaving their home since they returned from a trip to the north of China on Tuesday.
Woeser, who has written several books on Tibet and last year was given a U.S. State Department "International Women of Courage Award," said she was detained after a U.S. Embassy staffer telephoned to invite her to meet a U.S. official for dinner.
Kerry is currently in Beijing along with U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew for annual talks with Chinese officials on political and economic issues.
A U.S. State Department spokeswoman said the United States was "concerned" that Woeser and another recipient of the International Women of Courage Award had been placed under house arrest and prevented from attending the embassy dinner.
"We're looking into the matter to determine more details about what happened here and, of course, the reasons," Jen Psaki told a regular briefing in Washington. She did not name the other detained woman.
A senior U.S. administration official said Kerry raised the issue of human rights in a "direct, candid way" with senior Chinese officials on Wednesday, citing individual cases, including arrests made over the last several months.
"He described our perception of a trend in China, with an increase in arrests and an increase in harassment of individuals who are expressing political views," the official said, briefing reporters after the first day of talks. Continued...

For three years the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin reigned supreme as the connoisseurs' iPod dock of choice. In January the Arcam rCube took its title. Just three months later B&W wants it back…
The 'Zeppelin Air' is the company's weapon of choice. At first glance the it looks like little has changed for the original Zeppelin. The Air still has the same iconic stretched oval design that 'inspired' the TEAC Aurb and countless others, but inside it is revolution not evolution. The Air has updated drive units, up-rated amplification, improved Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and by far the biggest crowd pleaser: added AirPlay technology.
For who haven't come across AirPlay before, it is Apple's proprietary wireless streaming technology and it allows iPhones, iPods, Apple TV and iTunes itself to push media around the house wire-free. For Apple's audio products the big news is AirPlay is capable of delivering lossless sound quality and no adapters are required. AirPlay can also work in conjunction with multi-room environments allowing media to be delivered to multiple products around the house.
Out of the box the Air makes a dramatic first impression. The sweeping curves keep the same look at its predecessor and at 640 x 208 x 173mm it is exactly the same size. At 6.2Kg, however, is it a whole 1.3Kg lighter. Like the Zeppelin, the Air is very well made. The metallic back has gone to be replaced by love-it-or-hate-it piano black plastic, but it still feels like a premium product and arguably the more subtle colouring makes it classier.
Maanwhile the Air retains the same physical buttons for power and volume on the metal band around the centre of the dock and the dock connector itself, while perched, feels more solid than it looks. Inside you'll now find WiFi and along the back the Air has power, Ethernet, a USB port (for firmware updates), auxiliary and composite inputs and the simple pebble-shaped remote remains unchanged from the Zeppelin.
What does mark a significant change though is the sound quality…
So, this one gets 9/10 for sound - but is apparently an audio improvement on the 10/10 given for the original Zeppelin!? It can't be based on the increased value - as that is in the 'value' rating, and can't be because it only uses apple airplay....because that is what it is supposed to do. So...maybe it is time to add a mark out of 11 - to signify the step change in quality in this category and give it a 10.5, and the Arcam an 11. Otherwise I can have no faith in such reviews.
Damo, the scores we attribute to a product are based on the market at the time of writing. The landscape changes all the time, which is why the iPhone 3G was rated 10/10 and the iPhone 4 received a 9/10 score.
Damo, until I read this review I have always been weary of any printed opinion. Since my early twenties I have been reading Audio and Stereoplay (german magazines, I am Dutch) to see what their opinion was on equipment I was contemplating to buy. Most of my early earned money after graduating university was spent on HIGH END audio equipment, still owning today part of that ' hobby' : Nad Power Envelope (pre amp separate) and the AR 9 speakers (costing in 1990 DFL 10.000 altogether (about 5000 euro now). At the time Audio Magazine was a very trusted source, but for me that ended when I started using NAD (practically no tests available, as they didn't spent money on advertising....)
Before giving my opinion, it's good to know that I've come from a long way...
Now the Airplay. I just bought it after reading various tests (please note my wife is forcing me out of the ' old school' equipment since a few years (needing lot's of space and wires !) and AFTER having bought the ' old' Zeppelin in October 2010. So I now own both (plus the Harman Kardon Go & Play, in our kitchen, after first 'trying' the Bose Waveradio). Having heard my new Airplay and being the owner of the ' old' Zeppelin, everything in this review I can agree to. The Air does sound better then the predecessor. Be assured I have tested this as critical as possible, with an iPod with wav-files, the originals! My living room measures 10,5 mtrs by 5,50 meters and the sound is really AWESOME (the predecessor sounds very good as well). My old NAD / AR 9 sounds off course better, but with closed eyes NOone would guess the small Zeppelin (air) is responsible for the sound reproduction.
Again, I fully agree with this review and will revert back to this site for reviews of other equipment.
v. recent purchase of ZA from JL & totally impressed, design, product quality, sound repro and import'y airplay. As with any logic circuitry it operates as instructed so pl give the CORRECT instructions? Set up your ZA but then register o/L with B&W(and get some goodies) d/L the instruction manual and read the relevant parts and all will become clear to allow endless hours of uninterupted steaming musical pleasure as I am now doing. Warning: adjust the vol signal output on itunes-top left of page c.60% and multiple speaker tab ZA c.40% when streaming from pc or you'll blow your windows out when it connects! and have also found setting the equaliser (see-view) to treble-boost gives optimum overall sound repro but this is personal pref. nb.stunning unit with awesome acoustic sound range 9.5/10

John Oxley's Strong Contender, who would have been the heavy favorite for Saturday's $500,000 Lane's End Stakes (gr. II), did not make the starting field when 12 others with higher earnings were entered.Strong Contender, who had been stabled at Gulfstream Park this winter, was on a van passing through Berea, Ky., on his way to Turfway Park when trainer John T. Ward Jr. heard the news. He immediately contacted the van driver and re-directed him to his farm, located across the road from Keeneland racetrack.Strong Contender, undefeated in both his starts, will get a brief rest and then head back to Gulfstream Saturday morning where the son of Maria's Mon will begin preparation for the Wood Memorial (gr. I) April 8."That's how the game goes," Ward said. "They (Turfway officials) thought, after polling everybody, we'd have no problem getting in the field, but I guess they had some additional entries show up at the last minute."
When asked about running in the 1 1/16-mile Rushaway Stakes on the same card, Ward said, "That was a possibility, but it didn't make sense. It's not a graded race, and I'd have to come back in a graded race to assure myself a spot in the (Kentucky) Derby (gr. I), and I wouldn't be able to secure a rider. In the next race down the line, the top riders are going to be more or less committed.
"I talked to Mr. Oxley and we're going to fall back and go to the Wood. It's an ideal prep timing-wise and I wouldn't have to run him again. If he runs an "A" race it will set him up for the next one."
Ward said he has no concerns about going into the Kentucky Derby off only three career starts. "It might be the best decision," Ward said. "What people don't factor in is that this horse had a very rigorous 2-year-old-in-training situation. It was like having two starts, and he's a big fit horse; you can't have them any fitter that he is. And maybe a fresh horse is going to be the best horse. You can't do things like you used to because the landscape has changed -- preps have changed, everything has changed."
In regard to having to wait three weeks to run a horse who is primed to race this weekend, Ward said jokingly: "Two 15-hour van rides to Kentucky and back to Florida is like working him a mile and a half right there. He's at my barn in Lexington and I've got a van scheduled at 10 (Saturday) morning to go back to Florida. That's where all the top riders are and that's where he has been training all winter. I don'twant to start switching tracks now."

Isang Maikling Kwento #22
#22: Pakahalagahan ang Oras Dahil Hindi na Ito Maibabalik Kapag Nawala na
"TANGINA NAMAN O!" pabulong na sigaw ni Ricky sa sarili isang umaga ng Sabado nang malaman niyang nawawala pala ang kanyang relo sa kanang braso (dapat ay sa kaliwa, pero feeling niya mas astig kung sa kanan nakalagay kahit hindi naman). Regalo ito sa kanya ng tatay niya noong nakaraan niyang kaarawan. May ilang araw na ring nawawala ang relo niyang iyon ngunit ngayon niya lang napansin na wala na pala ito sa kanya. Ang relo niya ay isang Swatch na green na pambagets ang design at gawa sa plastic.
tunghayan ang kabuuan ng kwento:
Okay, dude.. This is just a
Okay, dude.. This is just a well-meaning nudge, and seems like no one's telling you anything about this, your readers most especially. But, dude, will it be better if you can come up with some other good titles for your stories? I mean they are nice your stories (they must be) and I just read that story above about your character losing his Swatch, and obviously not feeling good about it.. The thing is: you've been repeating the same title: "Isang Maikling Kwento" for 22 times, I mean, 22 times!? Oh, c'mon, dude! Don't disappoint us too much.. Don't make your good stories come up with hackneyed titles..' You seem a very bright writer and I think you may agree with me. But that's yours to decide. It's just that we can't, of course, imagine Hemingway or Saul Bellow, among other good writers, giving their works with the same titles, repeated all over again. I'd certainly hate Hemingway, with utmost passion, if all his works have the same "The Old Man and The Sea" title. I mean it's boring, right?! But again, it's just a well-meaning nudge. You can ignore it..
Keep on writing..'
everything is in its right place
how about NO? hackneyed titles, eh?!
it seems that you're the only one who is disappointed and really bothered of the titles so don't use "US" or "WE", ok? or maybe you mean you and ****? hmmm....
btw, the title comes second to the content of the story, imho. and it's not a repetition of the same title. there are numbers in the title so that the title of each story is distinct from each other. get your facts straight.
this story naming scheme is just my own little idiosyncrasy to keep me apart, but not necessarily stand out, from the other good writers here in FW. don't be too bothered by it.
anyway, thanks for reading this story. i'm not sure if you indeed read the whole 4 parts though. and just to set your expectation, there are still more IMK's to come (yey!), like, i have thought of up to the 40th and i have already finished the 30th just a month ago, so watch out for them.
I'd love to turn you on...
Of course, you've a good
Of course, you've a good point.. It's just that I's wondering if you're open for a better one, or best for that matter. Yet again I appreciate your time for replying to that well-intended nudge above.
Keep on writing then...'
something being better is
something being better is relative. for me, my naming scheme is ok. i don't have to spend much time thinking about a title so that i could focus on the content. it's the content that counts the most, right?
I'd love to turn you on...
Quite right. The content is,
Quite right. The content is, of course, very important. Far more important. But the title that carries the content introduces the entire story, your first contact with your readers, the first thing your potential readers will see. It will not be a problem if you are already an established writer. But even them established writers would take the pain to come up with a good title of their works, just like the Infinite Jest of David Foster Wallace, On the Road by Jack Kerouac, or The Catcher in the Rye of J.D. Salinger, are just the few of our classic examples. They wrote their stories, conceptualized a good title for each story, and their readers will soon remember them, just as we cannot mentioned Don Quixote without remembering Cervantes.
sorry to burst your little bubble, but i'm not them. i don't want to be them. i want to just do my stuff, what i think is ok and whatnot. don't campare me to those great writers because you're bound to get disappointed. i'm a nobody.
please, if you don't have anything substantial to say about the content of this story then just leave. ok? you're already starting to get into my nerves. you're getting quite annoying already. if you don't want me to get annoyed further then just leave.
your idol is back. go f*ck with her, i don't care. leave this thread alone.
thanks for your opinion, i appreciate it. good day.
I'd love to turn you on...
I am just trying to be civil
I am just trying to be civil here, dude. Now you just gave me some good reasons to ignore you..'
Holy-Grinding0-Fucking-Meaty-Secks! And, you call yourself a writer, SHIT!!?
trying to be civil... yeah, right. you're lecturing me like some old granny. yeah, ignore me, i don't care. but i won't ignore you because i'm friendly. if you come up with something that is as good as mine, i will read and say something nice about it, don't worry.
i am a GOOD writer, thank you. that's why i'm here in FW. i'm not sure why you're here, though. i guess you're a good one, too. it doesn't show but whatever, man. get a life.
good day to you.
PS: what IS secks? maybe you mean "sex"? and a holy-grinding0-fucking one, too, eh? no thanks, i'm not gay. :D
I'd love to turn you on...

Because Cable doesn't use satellites you don't have to worry that a storm is going to hit and knock the signal out on a movie you may be recording or watching. This happens a lot when it rains and snows with companies that use satellite because they have a dish and when something gets between the dish and the signal it gets lost and has to reset itself.
