Dallas and Fort Worth are two uniquely distinct cities joined together by over 30 miles of countless suburbs that would be considered their own metropolitan areas in any other part of the country! But, as the saying goes- "Everything is bigger in Texas" and the DFW metroplex has something to offer every family on every budget.
Head to downtown Dallas and experience the sophisticated side of the Lone Star State. Tour the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science, The Dallas Museum of Art or the George W Bush Presidential Library. For families with younger children, you can adventure the Dallas Zoo, the Dallas Aquarium or the breathtaking Arboretum on White Rock Lake. And a must see experience for anyone visiting Big D is the Sixth Floor Museum/Main Street where you can learn all about the assassination of JFK including many of the most well known conspiracy theories.
If you are one of those people that appreciate Western culture and cowboys, downtown Fort Worth has ventures for every traveler! Cattle drives occur twice daily in the Stockyards National Historic District and Sundance Square will give you insight into the early architectural styles that influenced the region. And if that doesn't keep your kiddos happy, head to Six Flags Over Texas, the Fort Worth Zoo or the Noble Planetarium and Museum of Science and History. For those who prefer something a little more low key, pack a picnic lunch and spend the day at the award winning Fort Worth Botanic Garden.
Sports fans will have a field day in the DFW metroplex. With professional, semi-professional and collegiate teams in football, baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey and more, there is almost always an event to attend. Take a tour of AT&T Stadium- home of the Dallas Cowboys and the largest arena in the NFL. Cheer on the division leading Texas Rangers and the always entertaining Dallas Mavericks. Or if you are a NASCAR fan, come to town during a race weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway and tailgate with the true fans!
Dallas and Forth Worth have nearly unlimited adventures for every sightseer and we have just highlighted the most popular. This family friendly area of North Texas is a destination with so much to offer, you'll just have to experience it yourself to understand what makes this part of the country so special!
The members of MyDFWMommy embrace our city and share local events, happenings, deals and just general living on the blog, all spiced with ways to save while living in it!

The Dallas/Fort Worth area, which is known to most as DFW, is a hotbed of activity when it comes to tourism. At first glance, you might not realize all there is to do because the two cities (plus Arlington of course) cover quite a large area. However, you will find an endless supply of activities to meet the wishes of even the most particular sight seer. And if you are coming for a few days, I'd certainly suggest you check out the entire area in order to make the most of your journey! Don't miss Six Flags over Texas for a thrill and one of dozens of small and large water parks for cooling off in the Texas summer heat. Depending on the time of year you visit us, you can grab tickets to see the Mavericks basketball team, the Rangers baseball club in Arlington, and of course, the world famous Dallas Cowboys football team. If high-priced events aren't your cup of tea, check out the Frisco Rough Riders AAA baseball club (a favorite of kids all over), which is only one of the many minor league sports teams in the area. If culture is your wish, Dallas and Fort Worth each boast of multiple art museums and galleries, and each city includes a fun museum to entertain and educate your children - Perot in Dallas and Science and History in Fort Worth. Each city has gardens galore, aquariums, and outdoor areas to enjoy. Don't miss Klyde Warren Park over I-75 in Dallas. When you are selecting educational experiences, don't miss The Sixth Floor or Holocaust Museums in Dallas, and the Stockyards in Fort Worth. You'll find drive-in movies, lakes, hiking trails, shopping, and even more shopping. After all, this is Texas! Check out DFWKidsGuide.com for more details, and enjoy your stay!

Dumbo's Smorgasburg will move to Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 5
The ever-popular food bazaar will vacate the Tobacco Warehouse beginning this weekend—plus, there are more Smorg happenings later this fall.
Thu Oct 3 2013
Photograph: Jolie Ruben
Big news today from the folks over at Smorgasburg: The popular open-air market is leaving Dumbo's Tobacco Warehouse—where it has set up shop on Sundays for the past year—for Pier 5 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. As part of new expansion plans for the Empire–Fulton Ferry section of the park, St. Ann's Warehouse will convert the warehouse to a theater, and so Smorg will pack up and move this Sunday, October 6. The larger location will rival the weekly Williamsburg fest's for size. (And yes, here will be ramen burgers.) Additionally, the Flea's annual holiday market is vacating its space at Skylight One Hanson: From November 30 through March 2014, the Flea will take place in Williamsburg at 85 Wythe Street.
But that's not all—remember when we told you that the Brooklyn Flea will open yet another location in Park Slope? The new outpost's sole food vendor has been selected: Roberto Santibañez from the neighborhood's south-of-the-border eatery Fonda will dish out tortas and Mexican sodas outside P.S. 321.

Werner Herzog Debuts Documentary On Texting And Driving [Video]
Renowned director Werner Herzog filmed 'From One Second To The Next', which features testimonials from people who have been personally affected.
Filmmaker Werner Herzog's new documentary 'From One Second To The Next', explores the effects of texting and driving through testimonials from people who have been personally affected. The 35-minute film was sponsored by the wireless carriers AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.
According to the documentary, over 100,000 accidents a year involve drivers who are texting. By giving a voice to the individuals who caused the accidents and the people whose lives have been changed by them, Herzog shows the devastating aftermath that can be created when a driver turns their attention to sending a text.
The 'It Can Wait' campaign helps raise awareness of the dangers of texting while driving, encouraging individuals to pledge not to do it. The documentary will be available on the campaign's site, where people can go to get more information about the issue, share their story, take the pledge, and get resources to help make others aware of the dangers.
It will also be distributed to more than 40,000 high schools nationwide, hundreds of safety organizations and government agencies, and the carriers will post it on their YouTube accounts. You can watch 'From One Second To The Next' below:

My colleague Thomas Husson and I put together our 2014 mobile predictions. (See Report) One of the key predictions is:
Mobile will sit at the epicenter of mind-blowing exit events. The kernels of activity we saw in 2013 around mobile transactions will explode in 2014.
Those media companies that can't build audiences fast enough to capture spend of the Global 1000 will also look to acquisitions (think $3 billion for Snapchat).
What is mind-blowing is that neither Snapchat nor Instagram had a revenue stream when the bid or acquisition was announced.
In 2014, mobile companies with real revenue streams will go public. King.com (Candy Crush Saga) filed for an IPO with an estimated valuation of $1 billion based
on generating a couple of million dollars a day in revenue. What does King.com do? It monetizes mobile moments by taking advantage of the consumer's addiction to competition.
Mobile is moving so fast that that number is already dated. King started trading publicly on the NYSE Wednesday and part of the release was $1.9B in reported revenue in 2013 - way more than reported 8 months ago.
What happened this week?
1) Intel completed its acquisition of Basis Science - a wearable device - for a reported $100M to $150M. (See TechCrunch, VentureBeat)
Posted by Julie Ask on March 27, 2014
King had $1.9B in 2013 gross revenue with the majority coming from Candy Crush.
I first heard of Candy Crush about a year ago. I was on vacation in Germany with my husband. One of my friends – for context, she was a college roommate now a CTO at a Fortune 500 company in Silicon Valley – started chatting with me on Facebook. It dawned on me it was 2 am in California.
Turns out she had worked late and was up playing Candy Crush. I couldn't get my head around what it was about this game that was keeping her from sleeping, but she explained, "It's fun. It's hard. The game keeps changing. It's always challenging."
I advised her to go back to sleep, but couldn't stop thinking about the conversation. The analyst in me had to dig a bit further.
There are a number of publishers with big hits like Candy Crush. The business model for some lies in in-app revenue, which is why "free" downloads want your gender, age, mother's maiden name and social security number. Others profit from a minority of users who make in-app purchases to do things like purchase more lives, buy weapons (other games), and send gifts to their friends and fellow players. What's interesting?
1. It's software on a connected device.
Users are able to continually update and expand the game. They can even personalize it to feed their particular addiction—keeping them coming back for more.
Posted by Julie Ask on March 18, 2014
A journalist called and asked me today about the market size for wearables. I replied, "That's not the big story."
So what is? It's data, and what you can do with it.
First you have to collect the data and have the permission to do so. Most of these relationships are one-to-one. I have these relationships with Nike, Jawbone, Basis, RunKeeper, MyFitnessPal and a few others. I have an app for each on my phone that harvests the data and shows it to me in a way I can understand. Many of these devices have open APIs, so I can import my Fitbit or Jawbone data into MyFitnessPal, for example.
From the story on 9to5mac.com, it is clear that Apple (like with Passbook) is creating a single place for consumers to store a wide range of healthcare and fitness information. From the screenshots they have, it also appears that one can trend this information over time. The phone is capable of collecting some of this information, and is increasingly doing so with less battery burn due to efficiencies in how the sensor data is crunched, so to speak. Wearables – perhaps one from Apple – will collect more information. Other data will certainly come from third-party wearables - such as fitness wearables, patches, bandages, socks and shirt - and attachments, such as the Smartphone Physical. There will always be tradeoffs between the amount of information you collect and the form factor. While I don't want to wear a chubby, clunky device 24x7, it gets better every day.

For the past two years, Forrester has fielded a Global Mobile Executive Survey to understand and benchmark mobile initiatives. Last year, we surveyed nearly 300 executives leading mobile initiatives within their enterprises.
To help business executives benchmark and mature their approach to consumer mobile services, we are updating this survey.
Planning and organizing for the use of mobile technologies is a complex task. Integrating mobile as part of a broader corporate strategy is even more complex. However some players are leading the way and working on infrastructure, staffing, and competencies that are hard to see unless you look closely. If you want to understand the role that mobile is playing in various organizations, what their objectives are, how they measure the success of their mobile initiatives, and a lot more, you just have to share with us your own perspective and we will aggregate the answers. For your efforts, we will share a free copy of the survey results.
If you're in charge of your company's mobile consumer initiative or if you're familiar with it, then please take this survey.

While mergers and acquisitions have proliferated in the colocation industry - each positioned to increase geographic coverage or higher order capabilities – in the last 6 months, a new trend has emerged: strategic divestitures, most prominently observed in the telecommunications space. Following the complete cycle, in 2010 and 2011, Centurylink, Verizon and Windstream made strategic acquisitions to increase their data center services portfolios, acquiring Savvis, Terremark and Hosting Solutions respectively. 5 years later, each firm has announced its intent to sell of some or all of these assets.
While telcos had arguably given birth to colocation, the fact remains that network and carrier providers have had troubling competing against pure play colocation and data center service providers like Equinix and Digital Realty. In the past, telecom providers described colocation and data center services as a way to enrich existing customer contracts. In an interesting twist, these new intended divestitures have been presented as a way to refinance core assets, focus on what drives their business, and move away from standardized services with high overhead and lower margins. While vendors may keep their skeletons in the closet, I had some speculation as to what might be fueling these decisions:
- Buyers want carrier density and diversity. Even though all of these facilities support multiple connections into other carriers, customers tend to evaluate facilities by connectivity options instead of looking for carriers to provide data center capacity on top of network services. Additionally, many geographically dispersed companies are considering blended IP solutions to improve latency and performance across the globe.
Posted by Richard Fichera on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on February 13, 2012
Data centers, like any other aspect of real estate, follow the age-old adage of "location, location, location," and if you want to build one that is really efficient in terms of energy consumption as well as possessing all the basics of reliability, you have to be really picky about ambient temperatures, power availability and, if your business is hosting for others rather than just needing one for yourself, potential expansion. If you want to achieve a seeming impossibility – a zero carbon footprint to satisfy increasingly draconian regulatory pressures – you need to be even pickier. In the end, what you need is:

Mexico's first gay couples wed under landmark law
By Michael O'Boyle
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Five same-sex couples wed in Mexico on Thursday as Mexico City became the first Latin American city to defy religious taboos and macho stereotypes by legalizing gay marriage.
The head of Mexico City's civil registry married four couples in a simple ceremony on the patio of a colonial city hall to cheers and applause from family, friends and local politicians. A fifth couple arrived late for the event -- but were quickly married afterward.
The Mexico City law marks a victory for gay rights in Latin America after a string of advances in the region. Argentina and Uruguay allow same-sex unions, and Uruguay includes adoption rights, but the only previous gay wedding was conducted by an activist governor in Argentina without legal backing.
"From here to the party and to be happy," said David Gonzalez, wearing a red rose in his lapel. He has been with his new husband, Jaime Lopez, for the past decade.
The couples, who handed in their papers to get married as soon as the law took effect last week, are all activists pushing for gay rights in Mexico, which has the second-biggest Catholic population after Brazil and a largely conservative culture.
The legislature in the liberal bastion of Mexico City, which is dominated by the nation's biggest left-leaning party, passed gay marriage. But the law applies only in the capital district.
"We are putting a face on a reality that has been denied, silenced and hidden," said Lol Kin Castaneda, 33, an academic marrying her partner of more than six years, Judith Vazquez.
Gay marriage is the latest push by Mexico City's left-wing government, which has also made divorce easier, legalized early abortions and allowed the terminally ill to refuse treatment. Continued...

Investigators ID Ocklawaha Homicide Victim, as Deputies Search for His Killer
Published August 30th, 2013
Loading Video...
OCKLAWAHA - "One of the most gruesome death scenes" they've come across in a long time -- that's how investigators are describing the Marion County home where an elderly man was found dead earlier this week.
Sheriff's deputies say Stanley Yassen, 74, was "brutally" killed inside his Ocklawaha home by an unknown attacker sometime Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators say there were no signs of forced entry on Yassen's home, leading them to believe Yassen may have known his attacker.
"Our major crimes detectives work a lot of death scenes, and I can tell you that with their experience, they've commented that this is probably one of the most gruesome death scenes that they've worked in a long time," said Cpt. James Pogue of the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
While some of Yassen's neighbors describe him as a good man, records show he was no stranger to law enforcement.
Yassen was last arrested back in 2003 on one charge of retail theft. According to a newspaper article, Yassen was also arrested back in 1993 while living in New Hampshire for allegedly transporting more than five pounds of marijuana.
Because there was so much blood at Yassen's home, deputies are asking the public to give them a call if they saw anyone wearing blood-stained clothing on Wednesday afternoon. Anyone with information should call Detective T.J. Watts at (352) 732-9111.

Belize PM says McAfee "bonkers," should help in murder case
By Jose Sanchez
BELIZE CITY (Reuters) - Belize's prime minister on Wednesday urged anti-virus software pioneer John McAfee to help the country's police with a murder inquiry, calling McAfee "bonkers" for recent media statements.
"I don't want to be unkind, but he seems to be extremely paranoid - I would go so far as to say bonkers," Prime Minister Dean Barrow said in Belize City. "He ought to man up and respect our laws and go in and talk to the police."
Belizean police want to question McAfee, 67, about the murder of his neighbor and fellow U.S. citizen, Gregory Viant Faull, 52, with whom McAfee had quarreled.
Police have been unable to track down McAfee since finding Faull dead on Sunday in his house on Ambergris Caye, an island off the coast. In an interview on Tuesday, McAfee said he had gone into hiding because he believed Belizean authorities were trying to frame him for Faull's murder.
"You can say I'm paranoid about it, but they will kill me, there is no question. They've been trying to get me for months," Wired magazine's website quoted McAfee as saying. "I am not well liked by the prime minister.
According to the magazine, which has published details of several interviews with the entrepreneur, McAfee says he has been riding in boats, hunkering down on the floorboards of taxis, and sleeping in a bed that he said was infested with lice.
Since he went into hiding, McAfee has repeatedly told Wired he had nothing to do with Faull's death. Explaining his actions, McAfee said he does not want to give himself up because he is afraid the authorities will torture or kill him.
But McAfee said they would track him down in the end. On Wednesday, the magazine said that McAfee claimed to have dyed his hair, eyebrows, beard, and mustache jet black. Continued...

Great thanks bud
Don't forget about the gauntlets and jetpacks too! (Although I know that technically jp's don't qualify as armor but thought I'd mention it) Oh and there's differences in the soft parts/fabric pieces also
Yeah thanks, I know of the other differences. Just checking on the armour bud.
Your not planning on going ESB are ya mate?? I love your SE version.
planning on going for the full collection mate?
No not changing versions, just thinking of changing my armour and I saw some beautiful ESB armour up for sale
and wondered if I could use it. Think I'm just going to order some Bobamaker armour as I'm not truly happy with my armour set up
at the mo.
Not only is the paint different, but the dents and damage are also different.

Hostess of Fox TV's 'On the Lot' on the lookout for new film talent
Adrianna Costa, host of the Fox reality television show, "On the Lot," which gives aspiring filmmakers from around the world the chance to earn a $1million development deal at DreamWorks, lives a dream of her own.
An Agoura Hills native, Costa was plucked from CNN's "Headline News" to host the new show, created by television and film legends Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg.
"We are so proud of it," Costa said of the show. "It's such an unbelievable show."
Apparently Costa made quite an impression on Burnett, a producer of many successful television programs including "Survivor," now in its 11th season. After Costa vied for a spot on another show, Burnett thought of her when it came time to cast a host for "On the Lot."
But Costa was already making her mark in broadcast journalism in Atlanta as an entertainment anchor when the call came through.
"It was very last minute," Costa said, explaining she started work just one week prior to the first broadcast of the show.
Costa dreamed of moving back to California. Luckily, CNN released Costa from her contract early.
Talented filmmakers from around the world submitted sample short films to the producers in the hopes of making the final cut. Out of 12,000 submissions, 18 people were chosen to participate in the weekly film challenges.
Costa, 26, is a fan of the show's contestants and was sad to see all the women voted off. She especially enjoyed the work of Shira-Lee Shalit. "I thought she had so much talent," she said.
Then there's Kenny Luby, a young filmmaker judge Garry Marshall once urged Costa to date. "He's hot, of course he is," Costa said. But, long days at the studio and a laser sharp focus on her career doesn't leave much room for a social life these days.
"I'm training nonstop," Costa said of her idea of fun. Exercise keeps stress in check and the stylish clothing provided by the show fits her perfectly, she added.
"The wardrobe is sick, unreal," Costa said. "I'd never be able to afford the clothes on my own," she said. She was particularly impressed with a vintage Bob Mackey dress she wore.
Costa's love of talk, coupled with her inherent interest in people, turned her dream into a reality. "I love what I do," she said.
Costa, whose real surname is Heber, looks to the future with optimism.
"My goal is to do stuff like this for a really long time," Costa said. But she has another, darker goal in mind to keep her on her toes. "I'd like to be in a horror film and killed off in a ridiculous way," she joked.
The only downside to her job on the show is when she must eliminate a contestant. She delivered the bad news to cute Kenny on July 24.
"I really feel attached to the contestants," Costa said. "When I have to eliminate them that's a bummer."
Guest judges also added attraction to Costa. Besides regular judges Marshall and Carrie Fisher, guest filmmakers like Wes Craven, Brad Siberling, Eli Roth, Antoine Fuqua, and others offer constructive criticism to the contestants.
Trevor Kress, Costa's representative, explained how the show is produced. He said every short film takes five days to write, shoot and edit. Every contestant is provided with actors, a director of photography, production crews and other professionals to help them complete their film.
As for Costa's name change, she said she wanted to separate herself from her father's success as a doctor and chose Costa because it was a nickname in school. However, she wouldn't tell why she got the nickname Costa. "It's a secret," she said.
Just days after graduating from the University of Boulder with a degree in broadcast journalism, Costa landed a job on "Access Hollywood."
Within six months, she accepted a job at "E!" and met with stars on the red carpet of the Oscar and Emmy awards shows. Following this success, Costa hosted "E!"'s newest show, "The 20 Hippest Hot Spots." The final episodes of "On the Lot" will air on Aug. 14 and 15. The surprise finale will feature Spielberg on the lot.

How-To Replace Valve Cover Gasket and VCT Solenoid
Well, my SVTf sprung a leak...about a spoonful of oil a week. Now, it's not that bad of a leak, but it needed to be fixed none-the-less. A quick call to Ford told me that it would be over $200 to replace because I just went out of warranty a few months ago...
After a bit of research, I came to the conclusion that I could do this myself. And so I did...
Materials Needed: Socket Wrench, extender, Drive adapter bit, 8mm/10mm sockets, 5/16 Wrench and 3/8 Wrench.
Time Needed: ...meh...about an hour.
-Start by ordering your parts...if you order directly from Ford, it'll cost you $88.28, however, if you find a few of the folks on this website who work for Ford, you can get them for $48.40...
The Part#'s for the Solenoid and Gasket are 2M5Z6L713 AA and 2M5Z6584 AB, respectively...
Once you get them in, you're ready to begin. Remove the negative terminal off the battery, and make sure you secure it so it won't go flopping back onto the terminal!
-Remove Plug Wire cover and Coil Cover...remove spark plugs from valve cover (you can keep them on the coil pack) I put the ends of my plug wires in a plastic bag to keep debris from sticking to the Boot Protector Gel...
Don't forget about the Cam Breather Hose!
-Remove the small bracket on the back of your VCT Solnoid Tower, and pop off the wire connector... for Pete's sake, don't loose that freaking wire clip!!!
If you are going to attempt to remove the CamGear Cover, good luck! You actually don't need to take it all the way off, just shove it out of the way to remove the valve cover. To remove CamCover you must first Remove Coolant Reservoir by taking out front screw with 10mm socket, and separate from bracket in back of the tank...
-Now, if you can remove the valve cover w/o taking off the CamGear Cover, I highly advise you to do so...because that SonB is
This was the toughest part of the whole thing...I also encourage you to make a notch in the base of the CamGear Cover to aid in ease of installation...
Sure is dirty under there...
-Now you're ready to remove the Valve Cover...unscrew all 10 valve screws with 8mm socket. 'Jiggle' the cover around until the seal breaks loose... carefully remove valve cover, taking care not to knock the VCT Solenoid in the process. Remove old gasket and discard...set Valve Cover on clean towel.
You can clean area of new gasket of debris/dirt, taking care not to knock any gunk into oil...
Clean area on Valve Cover for new Gasket...take new Gasket and begin to work into the groove going around the cover. When finished, lube a little with oil. BE SURE EVERYTHING IS FLUSH IN GROOVE!
-Now for the VCT Solenoid. There is one 8mm screw holding it in, remove it. The Solenoid is not screwed in, you just have to work it out of it's housing, yanking is probably required...
Set old VCT aside and grab the new one. Dab oil onto gasket and jam back into housing. Screw back in. Cake walk!
-Ready to reinstall the Valve Cover? You better be, you can't go anywhere without it!
Place Valve Cover back onto engine, seating the seal. Place all 10 screws back into cover, and give each a few turns just to being threading. Start in center and, working your way around, begin tightening all screws in succession.
DO NOT TIGHTEN ALL THE WAY! You want to balance the compression on the gasket all the way around the cover. So, tighten each screw a little bit at a time, until all screws are tight. Begin tightening the whole way. 5-7 ft.-lbs. is required, but you probably won't find any torque wrench with that low of a setting...so hand-tight is about right!
Check all around for good seal, and pretty much reverse everything to finish...
Be sure to drive around and test the seal before doing any distance driving. You don't want to get all the way to Wal-Mart only to find that you've sprung a leak!
Ok guys, enjoy...because you just saved yourself a couple hundred bucks! And you had a good time working on the 'ole car!

Trickett, full healthy and with a season of experience in head coach Dana Holgorsen's offense, says he is "very comfortable" with the Mountaineers' game plan, and that West Virginia believes there are weaknesses that can be attacked. Sans great detail, the right-hander said the Tide "showed some things we can expose" and showed "things to stay away from."
Kwiatkoski, who led WVU in tackles with 86 last season, speaks to the difficulties of defending a team with multiple talents at every skill position. He also details identifying and adjusting to a potential platoon system at quarterback and what makes Alabama's trio of backs as good as any in the nation.

Profile of a desert archaeologist
Dr Mike Smith is Director of Research and Development at the National Museum of Australia. A distinguished field archaeologist, he pioneered research into late Pleistocene (Ice Age) settlement in the Australian desert.
For 25 years, Mike has worked across the Australian Desert, attempting to systematically piece together a picture of the human and environmental history of this fascinating region. Here, he is digging a 1000-year-old site, north of Lake Amadeus in Central Australia.
One of his most important discoveries was Puritjarra rock-shelter, a site which preserves a long detailed record of human occupation in the centre of the continent, covering more than 300 centuries.
An archaeological excavation, like surgery, involves careful dissection of hidden structure. After finding Puritjarra, the next problem was to plan its excavation. During the first season, Mike concentrated on recovering a good stratigraphic sequence and working out the chronology. Later, he probed different zones of the rock-shelter to get a better picture of how people had used different parts of the shelter.
Few sites are simple 'layer cake' accumulations of sediments. Even in a small rock-shelter, the warp and weft of the stratigraphy can be as complex as a Persian carpet. Archaeologists learn to follow the layers, picking out pits and other disturbances.
Australian archaeologists work in small teams, and are often out in the field, living in the open for weeks at a time, with little logistical support. Like most desert archaeologists, Mike developed a passion for desolate places and formed strong friendships with local Aboriginal people on whose land he worked.
'Whatever else it may be', says Mike, 'archaeology shows that a desert landscape is also a rich historical document, preserving a complex record of the interaction of past climates, environments, and cultural systems'.

|Head Coach
|At Miami:
|3 Years
Leading the Crew: The Andrew Carter Story
Andrew Carter enters into his fifth year as head coach of the University of Miami rowing program. A former assistant coach at Clemson University, Carter brings to the Hurricanes program more than 20 years of coaching experience both on the collegiate and international levels of competition.
Carter arrived to UM via Clemson University where he spent the 2008-09 season as an assistant coach under Richard Ruggieri and the Tigers program. He takes over the Hurricanes program for interim head coach Boban Rankovic who stepped in following the resignation of Robbie Tenenbaum.
In his only year at Clemson, Carter worked closely with the varsity rowers, specializing in small boat training, biomechanical analysis, rigging, and technique screening. With the Tigers, Carter helped Clemson achieve a No. 9 national ranking going along with eight top-three finishes during the fall season, as well as helping the Tigers claim their first-ever Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship. With the ACC crown, the Tigers earned their first NCAA Championships appearance. Carter personally coached the Tigers' NCAA Champion Varsity 4+ crew at the NCAA Championships on May 31 in Cherry Hill, N.J.
Throughout his career, Carter has won more than 50 championships as a coach, in addition to coaching seven All-Americans and 17 National Scholar-Athletes.
Prior to his one-year stint at Clemson, Carter spent seven years as head rowing coach at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine where he helped lead the Bobcats women's team to back-to-back NCAA Division III Women's Rowing Championships appearances. He was in charge of both men's and women's programs at Bates.
Under Carter's guidance, the Bates men's team became one of the top programs in any NCAA division. Among the student-athletes Carter coached at Bates was 2005 graduate Andrew Byrnes, who was a gold medalist for the Canadian National Team (men's eight) at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.
During the 2006-07 season, Carter spent a sabbatical year serving as the Director of Coach development for Otago Rowing Association in Dunedin--the capital of Otaga province in New Zealand. While working with Otaga Rowing, he also headed the regional high performance ID and development program.
Before his time at Bates, Carter served as an assistant coach at the University of Southern California during the 1999-2000 season. From 1996-1999, he served as head coach at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. In addition, Carter has coached various successful collegiate, club and provincial programs throughout his native country of Canada.
Carter spent two years working at Canada's National Rowing Center in London, Ontario prior to coming to the United States. His achievements as a rower and coach are well-documented, including numerous medals in many of North America's major rowing competitions such as the National Invitational Championship, Dad Vail, Canadian Championship, Royal Canadian Henley and the Head of the Charles Regatta.
In addition to being a U.S. Rowing Level III and Rowing Canada Aviron Level IV certified coach, Carter received a B.Sc. (Kinesiology) in applied sports science from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, as well as achieving a M.Sc. (Kinesiology) in Biomechanics from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. Highly regarded in both the academic and coaching fields, Carter is a regular speaker at national and international coaching conferences on topics in biomechanics, technique, equipment, and training.

Four-season appeal in Portland
How long does it take to create a show-quality cottage garden? About 18 months and most of that is growing time.
Darcy Daniel created year-round interest in her garden by using plants that hold their places in the off-season. Perennials and shrubs form a multilayered tapestry of flowers and foliage in her front front yard.
To the left of the path, the mauve blooms of Erysimum linifolium 'Variegatum' and the burgundy leaves of New Zealand flax are backed by white 'Iceberg' rose, yellow-flowered Achillea 'Moonshine', and the violet blooms of Allium 'Globemaster'.

If you've got older kids, you won't want to miss this temporary
exhibit (through Sept. 1). In our preview, we compared the human
centrifuge to a scaled-down Gravitron. But really it's more similar
to the Gravitron's carnival cousin, the teacup ride. Kids will love
testing the concepts of spin while mom gets a great arm workout.
And there are lots of other fun twists to try, from the racing
rollers to the air thrusters, and even a cool spinning chair.

The HALO® SleepSack® Swaddle replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing. In addition to helping your baby sleep safer, it helps him sleep better, too. Its adjustable swaddle wrap immobilizes your baby's arms to prevent the "Moro" or startle reflex. And, it is the only 3-way adjustable swaddle that adjusts to your baby's sleep style. Swaddle arms in, hands-to-face, one or both arms out to ensure baby's best sleep and an easy and gentle transition to the SleepSack® wearable blanket when it is time to stop swaddling. Used in hospital nurseries nationwide, the Halo SleepSack Swaddle is the #1 choice of hospitals and is recognized as "Hip Healthy" by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. Its strong adjustable fasteners ensure a perfect fit and resist breakouts for more secure swaddling. Plus, its innovative zipper, unzips from the bottom allowing your baby to stay swaddled for easy diaper changes.
Posted by Andrea on 25th Nov 2014
My baby slept better swaddled for the first month of her life and the HALO Swaddle made this so much easier! The zipper and velcro make it easy to put on and change diapers. The different fabrics are great for different weather and the ability to swaddle arms in OR out is priceless.
Posted by The NapTime Reviewer on 23rd Sep 2014
HALO seriously has the best products and the 100% Cotton Muslin Sleepsack Swaddle is one of my favorites. The inverted zipper makes it super easy to change diapers and the lightweight fabric is great for any atmospheric temperature. My daughter hated having her arms swaddled and this would have really come in handy three years ago for us since you can choose to leave the baby's arms in or out. I can't wait to use this with baby #2.
Posted by Sue on 16th Jun 2014
After losing my daughter in a late term miscarriage I've been terrified of SIDs. Your blankets have helped with that so much with my new baby. And she even prefers your SleepSacks over being swaddled in anything else. She won't sleep well unless she's in one. Thank you. My gratitude I literally am unable to articulate. The closest I can do is just " thank you. "

Hello Giovanni,
The expected behavior for the above infinite product involving a double

Steering wheels, and paint.
Two quick questions from a newbie:
My steering wheel is dry rotted from the sun. Will any Cadillac steering wheel interchange with the Allante? The script on the airbag just says Cadillac, so I suspect they are all interchangable, but I would like a definative answer. (After all, buying a steering wheel off of an Allante will probably cost much more than buying one off of a conventional Cadillac).
Second, I have a red '90 1/2. My question is, did Cadillac use the same color red on all of it's years. The reason I'm asking is, if I were to find a red hardtop off of a (say) 1988, would it match the red of the 1990 1/2 body?
Re: Steering wheels, and paint.
Howdy Skid!
The paint code should be the same, however there were some maroon(sp) Allantes and they would be different. Check the paint codes just to make sure. Not too expensive to re-paint just the top. I had mine re-painted when I bought it and I dyed the headliner. Looks great!
There are some posts on the AAG site about the steering wheels being re-done, and they turned out fine. Can't remember who did it, but if I can locate the thread I will point you in the right direction.

Lauren and George's Wedding
"This hotel was spectacular!!! They have wedding down to an art form. From the first day you step in to inquire about your wedding to the week after your wedding you deal with one main person, the Social Catering Manager, Ami Wheeler. She is fantastic and is director for the wedding ceremony, which is included in the price for the ceremony. The setting can't be beat. Cocktail hour was situated outdoor on a terrace and you could also walk inside too. For the reception the food is awesome to say the least...we are still getting compliments on the food. We could get up to 3 different entree selections for everyone, or you have a choice of buffett style. The hotel room you get with the package is a bridal suite, and it is huge and on the ground level so you can look out the window while getting ready and you can see them setting up the ceremony and when your guest start arriving. All I can say is I would not have wanted to have it anywhere else. You also get free run for photos that day in the hotel, the hotel has such a nice setting and so much artwork, you can have photos taken in front of them. It makes for very unique wedding photos. All in all a wonderful place, the entire staff there was great. Sorry it's so long!"
Linda and George's Wedding
"We spent our wedding night at the Umstead and couldn't have wished for a more glamorous yet relaxing way to end our special day. It is very pricey but they do cater to you. The room was luxurious. There was a Jacuzzi tub for two, plush robes and slippers to greet us. Later, they delivered champagne and chocolate covered strawberries and other goodies to our room. We had a patio that overlooked the lake where we breakfasted. Just amazing ambiance."

We did the Alton Brown turkey -- brined overnight, then a quick half hour at 500 degrees with a foil breast shield over the white meat, and down to 350 for 90 - 120 more minutes. Juicy and delish!
I loved seeing this because I was born in 1955 and can remember those sorts of family ads in my wee youth. The daughter was channelling Shirley Temple, the mom Donna Reed. And the dad was just a shill.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was great, just forgot to put eggs in the dressing, but made up for it with the gravy. The only bad thing about the day was that the Cowboys lost so I ate an extra piece of pumpkin pie to make up for it. Somehow that made it all butter.....

Oliveira goes for two titles tomorrow
By Robert Coster
Brazilian junior middleweight prospect Michael "The Brazilian Rocky" Oliveira (18-1, 13 KOs) will be looking to win two regional titles, the WBA Fedebol and the WBC Fecarbox crowns, tomorrow in La Romana, Dominican Republic. His opponent is experienced spoiler David Toribio (19-13, 12 KOs), the Dominican 154lb champion. Toribio has in the past notched the scalp of four unbeaten boxers in the USA and the Dominican Republic.
Understandably, the 22-year-old Oliveira is not taking his adversary lightly. "We know that Toribio's record is deceptive and that he is a cagey boxer. I have trained hard for this fight and a victory and two titles will be a big step forward in my career."
On the undercard, junior Middleweight knockout artist Kanat Islam (7-0, 7 KOs) of Kazakstan will be tested by veteran Humberto Toledo (41-8-2, 25 KOs) of Ecuador in a fight for the WBA Fedecaribe title. Kanat, who has never gone past five rounds, will be taking a big leap forward against the experienced and granite-jawed Toledo. The card will be held at the Pedro Julio Nolasco Coliseum and is promoted by Domini Boxing.

Re: Where's the Best Liveaboard Marina?
The best ones I found were in Florida, both in the keys and along the west coast near Punta Gorda. Low rates, lots of great sailing opportunities, and very close to any amenity that you desire.
Re: Where's the Best Liveaboard Marina?
Brewers in Barrington R.I. has liveaboards. Pricey but nice and Providence is close by. No laundry. Insist wind generators are tied off even in winter but electricity is cheap. Nice pool in the summer. Good bathrooms and showers. Excellent walking trail and farmers market next store. Good cruising grounds as well. Can get by with reverse AC for most of the winter.

thats all nice but were still looking in ct to liveaboard and send kids to school. were cna we go that will fit a 62 foot boat with 18 foot beam. if anyone knows we would be very greatful. thanks finnally home
Re: Where's the Best Liveaboard Marina?
I live aboard in Connecticut. Was not aware that my neighbors and I are breaking the law. I am not sure that is true, but it is certainly possible. I will do some research and see what I can find out.
Ventura West Marina
I do live aboard at Ventura West and have elsewhere and have to say it is fantastic. Southern California isn't an easy place to find good livaboard slips but Ventura West really works hard to make it good for us and to build what is a really great community. Ventura is my favorite place I've lived ( and there were many from the East Coast to Alaska), and to do it again on my beloved sailboat, sail up/down the coast or to the Channel Islands is heaven.

Re: Where's the Best Liveaboard Marina?
Coast Hotel and Marina in Victoria B.C. Small, about 40 slips. Almost all liveaboard. Facilities include indoor/outdoor year round heated pool, sauna, jacuzzi and workout room. Reasonable rates, power is not metered. Other than sales tax on moorage - 5% - no taxes or additional fees of any kind. Victoria allows living aboard at about 7 marinas in the harbour. Short walk to downtown along the water. It is the marina in the left foreground of the picture and the marina in the middle is Pier One, also a live aboard marina. The city is in the distance around the walkway.Victoria has the mildest temps in Canada and less than half the rain of Vancouver. Only snow in the harbour in the last few years was a trace that melted in a few hours. Current temp is 47F.
Re: Where's the Best Liveaboard Marina?

The LHP location is in the Canton area of town. Everything you could possibly need is within walking distance. West Marine, groceries, liquor store, tiki bar, restaurants, Target, Ace Hardware etc...
An annual slip agreement includes 2 haul outs and power washes, pool & gym membership, garage parking (first come first served, but only a problem on holidays), water and cable tv. Electric is metered. There's a bath house and coin-op laundry.
My 55' slip runs about 550-600 per month (includes liveaboard fee, does not include electric). Very affordable but, the tough part is annual agreements are due up front each year. The most you can break it up is 3 payments over 3 months. If you can stick to a budget and save up each year it's not so bad. Electric can get expensive depending on how you heat/cool your boat. I think it's $0.22/kw right now.
Baltimore itself is a great city. There's a great music scene, lots of things to do, and generally an affordable city to live in. Having a dinghy is great. You can get to Fells Point and the Inner Harbor in about 10-15mins in the dinghy. You can also float/dock near the outdoor concert pavilion, Pier Six, and catch shows. There's lots of place to go in the Patapsco river. It's good fun.
I've lived here for 7 years and met many great people. There's a good liveaboard community here.
The only complaints I have are:
- packing up the toys for the winter is no fun
- it's a fairly long run to get out of the Patapsco river to the Chesapeake
- the water in the harbor is gross, lots of trash run off from the city streets when it rains
- the barnacles and muscles will foul your boat quickly
But, if you like crabs...
Re: Where's the Best Liveaboard Marina?
"that Connecticut by state law, doesn't allow any liveaboards, "
When you see a claim like that, whether it is on the internet or in a pub, the big red flag is that no one is citing a specific law. Which often means they are simply wrong about that.
If there is such a law, someone can cite you the actual statute, and you can look it up online to see what it actually says. Often folks have been misinformed, or simply haven't understood the actual statute.
Can't live on a boat, at all? I'd love to see the legal explanation for how a state could have the power to declare that.
Re: Where's the Best Liveaboard Marina?
This one has an open slip...
Re: Where's the Best Liveaboard Marina?
I like my marina, Ventura West, in Ventura Harbor. I don't actually live aboard at this time, but I can change that at any time. The marina itself is well run, secure docks, reasonable rates ($369 for my 30', metered electric), nice clubhouse, RR/showers, laundry, and a workout room. There are a few other marinas in the harbor, but VWM is the largest, with 550 some slips, with a %50 cap on liveaboards (highest I've heard of in So Cal).
Year round sailing, of course, and the closest of the Channel Islands are less than 20 nm away. The weather is SoCal, but without the big spikes in the summer - rarely over 90 then. Several local boat yards, mast-up storage, chandlers, etc, etc. Easy bicycle ride to the local supermarket, lots of good restaurans are a few minute walk around the harbor. Two hotels across next to the marina, so those pesky visiting folks don't have to squeeze into that spare quarter berth (you know, the one full of PFDs, canvas, etc).
The city (Ventura) is quite nice, and still commuting distance to the greater L.A. area. Also less than 30 miles from Santa Barbara, and only about 60 to the start of the Central Coast wine country. No car? Amtrak's Surfliner train can take you anywhere from San Luis Obispo to San Diego.

Your donations keep RPGWatch running!
Fallout 3 - The Long Tail
by Dhruin, 2007-02-14 22:53:04
Bethsoft Producer Ashley Cheng's blog has an interesting post titled Before iPods ruled the earth... that ruminates on the recent coverage of Fallout fans and how online distribution may make niche markets more attractive to publishers:
According to The Long Tail, a Borders book store carries around 100,000 books, versus Amazon.com which lets you choose from over 3.7 million books. Of course, Borders 100K stock are the best sellers, the ones everybody is buying, but surprisingly, 25% of Amazon's sales are from books outside of Border's 100,000 stock. The book suggests that there will be huge growth in niche, customizable markets, that businesses are missing out by relying on hit-driven practices.

I got a scene where my animation completely messes up when I parent one joint to another. The axis on which the joint moves seems to change when I parent it (xy to xz). Animating the joint while already parented doesn't work either, then it doesn't want to take the Y animation.
There's no constraints, ik's or anything complicated going on. Just three joints with very basic animation. Even if I make all joints from scratch and recreate everything (within same scene) I get the same problem.
