"The cards came printed on heavy paper and the colors were bright and fun. I ordered them for my daughter's birthday. Everyone that saw them loved them. The picture on the card made them even better. I would buy from tiny prints again."
"I picked this card because I thought the graphics were best for a 5 year olds party. The text spacing was limited but the customer service department was excellent at warning me of issues and correcting my mistake. I was surprised that it was so small (I had envisioned a larger card) and I would have liked to put a little text on the back. But, it'll be a fine invite for this party!"
"These invitations surpassed my expectations. Customization was easy. I made them into picnic invitations. The ink is consistent and the design is printed well. The card stock is nice and heavy. I am placing another order today for a different party!"
"This invitation was perfect for my son's first birthday at the beach. We personalized the back with additional info about the event, and really enjoyed the final product. Furthermore, Elise in customer service/editing helped us to make changes to the invite as proofs were created. Her edits were quick and thoughtful, and she was extremely gracious if we requested one more small change. Overall, great experience."
"I ordered this card for my granddaughter's cupcake theme birthday party and it is perfect! The colors are vibrant and the quality of the paper is good. One of the Tiny Prints specialists helped me change the font size to fit. This card is exactly what I was looking for."

Another Texas City with No Property Tax
Stafford will soon have another city with property-tax-free bragging rights. Mayor Art Martinez de Vera says Von Ormy says residents will not have a property tax effective next year.
The city southwest of San Antonio off I-35 is a case in point about location, location, location. Truckers passing through on their way to the very busy Eagle Ford Shale find Van Ormy a convenient place to fill up and grab a bite to eat. And bless their hearts they pay the sales tax on their purchases. Oftentimes they'll stop in at one of the local eateries for a more filling meal, and they'll pay a sales tax there, too. And being a rural town with limited shopping choices, residents go online to make their purchases, and play a sales tax for that. And thanks to that 400% increase in sales tax revenue since Von Ormy incorporated in 2008 the city will eliminate property taxes.
"I don't like taxes. No one likes taxes. We said, 'Let's try to do something a little different and build up a sales tax base,"' Mayor de Vera tells KTRH News.
The mayor says since learning that about 95% of the sales tax burden is paid by non-residents they decided to build up their sale tax base and move the burden of funding their town to the sales tax.
"We're now where we can eliminate property taxes and still have a 30% increase in our budget over last year," says Mayor de Vera.
The growing city has $830,000 in reserves going in to next year, and plans to build a firehouse, support their marshals, and build a new city hall, without having to you a dime of property-owner's tax money.

Although I love our Expression Web product, especially for its CSS editing capabilities, I wouldn't consider myself an expert. I've used it to create some simple web pages and to edit the look-and-feel of my blog. But, over the past couple of weeks, two people have contacted me about problems installing Expression Web on their Windows Vista machines with Office 2007.
If you take a look at the ReadMe, you'll see that: "You need to uninstall any pre-release version of the Microsoft Office 2007 system such as the Beta before installing Expression Web." Those instructions seem pretty clear. However, the two people who contacted me had "clean" systems that had been built from the ground up with the RTM versions of both Windows Vista and Office 2007. There were clearly no prior beta versions hanging around.
After a bit of digging, it seems that if you have a version of the 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS installed, this may be the culprit. In both cases, by performing an uninstall on this add-in via the Control Panel, and then installing Expression Web, everything works okay. You can even re-install the Office 2007 add-in when you're done.
I can't find a knowledge base article on this issue, so I can't be 100% sure that it will solve the problem in all cases, but so far, I'm two for two. Please leave feedback if this helps your situation.

Study Links Childhood Abuse to Diabetes, Heart Risks in Women
Physical abuse may lead to poor heart health decades later, study finds
Middle-aged women who report having been physically abused as children are about two times more likely than other women their age to have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, a larger waistline and poor cholesterol levels, according to a new study published by the American Psychological Association.
These women are diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome which, according to previous research, places them at an increased risk of developing heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. This link between physical abuse and metabolic syndrome persisted beyond traditional risk factors, suggesting physical abuse is a unique factor in women's cardiovascular health, according to the study. It is the first study to show that a history of childhood physical abuse is related to the development of metabolic syndrome in women at mid-life, according to the authors.

Although the number of commercial Java games is still small compared to those written in C or C++, the market is expanding rapidly. Recent updates to Java make it faster and easier to create powerful gaming applications-particularly Java 3D-is fueling an explosive growth in Java games. Java games like Puzzle Pirates, Chrome, Star Wars Galaxies, Runescape, Alien Flux, Kingdom of Wars, Law and Order II, Roboforge, Tom Clancy's Politika, and scores of others have earned awards and become bestsellers.Java developers new to graphics and game programming, as well as game developers new to Java 3D, will find Killer Game Programming in Java invaluable. This new book is a practical introduction to the latest Java graphics and game programming technologies and techniques. It is the first book to thoroughly cover Java's 3D capabilities for all types of graphics and game development projects.Killer Game Programming in Java is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know to program cool, testosterone-drenched Java games. It will give you reusable techniques to create everything from fast, full-screen action games to multiplayer 3D games. In addition to the most thorough coverage of Java 3D available, Killer Game Programming in Java also clearly details the older, better-known 2D APIs, 3D sprites, animated 3D sprites, first-person shooter programming, sound, fractals, and networked games. Killer Game Programming in Java is a must-have for anyone who wants to create adrenaline-fueled games in Java.
The animal on the cover of Killer Game Programming in Java is a jungle cat (Felis chaus), a solitary felid known for its marvelous adaptability. Also known in some places as the swamp or reed cat, the jungle cat is found across a wide geographic area, ranging from Egypt to the Middle East to parts of Southern Asia and Western China. The name jungle cat, however, is a misnomer because, while this animal is often found in open grasslands, marshes, swamps, and tropical deciduous and evergreen forests, it is never found in dense tropical rain forests. The jungle cat varies in weight across its range. Cats living in Central Asia weigh up to 36 pounds, about 5 or 6 pounds more than those from Thailand and other neighboring areas. Jungle cats can be distinguished from other wild cat species by their long legs and uniform coat color, which ranges from sandy yellow to reddish brown. In ancient Egypt, these cats were held in high esteem for their stealth and agility. Etchings found on the walls of ancient temples depict jungle cats hunting beside humans. Their mummified remains can also be found in tombs of the period. The jungle cat's long survival as a species is attributed in part to its great resourcefulness. These cats often inhabit the disused burrows of other animals, and in India, they are sometimes known to take up residence in abandoned buildings on the outskirts of human settlements, hunting in nearby crop fields for small rodents. They are mostly crepuscular in their hunting habits, but are known to be more active during daylight hours in some regions. Their prey includes rodents, small mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and occasionally wild pigs, chital deer, and fish. Keen hearing, a contribution from the cat's large ears, help it locate prey in areas of dense vegetation. It can jump 13 feet to swipe a desert quail from the air, dive into water to capture fish, and even climb trees to hunt when necessary. The jungle cat, some say, can make it anywhere.

A very helpful guide for learning java

Comments about oreilly Killer Game Programming in Java:
I find this book is a joy to read and learn from. Andrew Davison has a pleasant manner and he teaches the lessons in a fun way. The programs he has written as exercises are very engaging, not like the boring examples you find in some other Java books. And He also makes funny comments at times, not very often, because of course that would be nauseating, but often in a chapter that is quite technical and he senses the dumb readers might be losing hope he cracks a little joke in the comments and I found that was a welcome relief. On the technicalities of the book I cant comment too much becuase I am fairly new to Java. But I do sense the code that he writes is very top quality and he is a very excellent Java Programmer. What is more He doesnt seem to mind if you use his classes in your own programs/games which I have found some people on the internet making use of. Some people think Java3D has died a little bit but I personally found (since I was more interested in Java2D anyway) that every chapter is a rich mine of information that has helped me alot. And also my motivation has been kept high because the way it is written and presented is very fresh and engaging, not dense and confusing like many computer books. There is a huge amount a beginner/intermediate student will find invaluable in this book.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Goot to start with
By janton
from Sweden
The book is really useful for people who just start to learn game development. Author does not go into great details in such stuff as graphics mathematical background but gives good enough overview on all basic parts which every game consist of. Reader going to implement small 2d and 3d projects learn how to use sound, implement simple gaming algorithms. Also author tries to answer the question if Java is good enough to implement serious commercial gaming projects. Long story short this book is all you need if you know java and want to learn how to develop games (both 2d and 3d)

Thinking Fast and Slow
Glen Newey writes:
Many endeavours go wrong not through lack of thought, but through our having the wrong thoughts. Human cogitative failure is a many-splendoured beast, which Daniel Kahneman has devoted his life to studying. Some goofs prove popular enough to put paid to any very sanguine view of evolutionary cognitive ascent. Humans are dab hands at some tasks, such as acquiring language and matching patterns. But we suck at others, including many that involve statistical inference. In the UK currently, the statistical likelihood of suffering serious injury from al-Qaida is many times lower than that of suffering a similar fate at the hands of one's fridge. But few enter the kitchen cowed by the looming menace posed by their Smeg. This effect, which Kahneman likens to perceptual illusions such as the Müller-Lyer, can't be sloughed off simply by realising that it is illusory – though some people, including some in government, don't even get that far.

Three & Out returns in 2011 to give you three SEC thoughts, news and notes. In our Week 3 wrap-up, we take a look at the state of the Ole Miss program, Tennessee's showing in The Swamp and Auburn's inability to tackle anyone.
Two weeks ago, following Georgia's gutless performance in the Georgia Dome against Boise State, it became clear that the talk of Mark Richt's job is in serious, serious jeopardy. It was a discussion that we had all prepared for, but watching the Bulldogs lay an egg in front of the whole country was enough to send Georgia fans over the edge.
Richt may have a job longer than Houston Nutt though.
If you're in the SEC, you don't get blown out by Vanderbilt. Ever. But Ole Miss did, 30-7, in a game that really wasn't a close as the score indicated. Ole Miss managed just 234 total yards and turned the ball over five times against the Commodores, en route to supplanting the boys in black and gold as the worst team in the SEC. It's time for a change.
Houston Nutt has a big-time buyout that can hinder his dismissal. Depending on when he is let go, Ole Miss would owe him somewhere in the $4-6 million range. Sure, that's a lot. But after getting run by Vanderbilt - VANDERBILT - athletics director Pete Boone will probably be able to pass a hat around the Grove to raise enough to buy out Nutt.
Ole Miss is the same institution that fired David Cutcliffe one year after posting a 10-win season - AT OLE MISS. If the program was going in the wrong direction then, what's the holdup now?
It's the first thing that happens on every play, and that's where it all went wrong for the Tennessee Volunteers against Florida on Saturday.
Center James Stone, a freshman All-American last season, switched from a left-handed snap to a right-handed snap during the offseason. Maybe he should go back to his old style. Stone routinely rolled shotgun snaps back to quarterback Tyler Bray - particularly in the second half, which got the offense out of rhythm on a regular basis.
Tennessee had the ball with momentum late in the third quarter down 17 and was driving. But two bad snaps killed the 9-play, 28-yard drive and the Vols settled for a field goal. A touchdown there would have significantly changed the game, but it didn't happen.
There's something about The Swamp that brings out bad snaps. Last season, former Gator Mike Pouncey routinely rolled snaps to Florida quarterback John Brantley in the Gators' 2010 season opener against Miami (Ohio).
Tennessee showed that it's a team on the rise Saturday afternoon. Last year's Vols' squad would have folded up its tent in the third quarter and gone home. This group fought for four quarters, which is a step in the right direction, but the fact that clean snaps were few and far between on Saturday is something that will limit this team if it's not corrected.
Auburn, meet tackling. Tackling, meet Auburn. It's amazing that these two haven't met before.
The nation's longest winning streak came to an end Saturday afternoon, as Auburn fell to Clemson 38-24 in Death Valley. For Auburn, there's really only one person to blame - defensive coordinator Ted Roof.
Try these stats on for size: Clemson rolled up 624 yards of offense and converted 14-of-18 third down conversions, including 10 in a row at one point. But oddly enough, those stats weren't the worst part. Auburn just couldn't tackle.
Rarely, if ever, did the first Auburn defender to touch the Clemson ball-carrier make a tackle. Poor tackling is an epidemic on every level of football, but Auburn became the poster-child of the epidemic on Saturday.
This is not a new phenomenon for Auburn. The Tigers couldn't tackle last year either, but an unbelievable pass rush coupled with one of the nation's top offenses propelled them to the National Championship. Knowing that, it's time for head coach Gene Chizik - a defensive-minded coach - to step in and take more control of his defense, because it's clearly not working with Ted Roof.
Until Saturday, Auburn hadn't lost a football game since the day that the Tiger Woods sex scandal broke in 2009. But Saturday's poor display of tackling leads me to believe that the Tigers are going to lose a lot more between now and late November unless something is done to rectify the situation.

Sustaining teacher professionalism in the context of standards referenced assessment reform
Klenowski, Valentina (2012) Sustaining teacher professionalism in the context of standards referenced assessment reform. In Luke, Allan, Woods, Annette, & Weir, Katie (Eds.) Curriculum, Syllabus Design and Equity : A Primer and Model. Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, New York, London, pp. 88-102.
Accepted Version

Standards referenced reform, tied to reporting, engages directly with assessment issues related to accountability. Assessment is the key to good education and is inseparable from curriculum. In an accountability context, standards are used as a lever to improve the reliability and consistency of teacher judgement; and classroom evidence is used by education systems for reporting and tracking achievement over time. Assessment is thus a powerful driver for change and is at the heart of the teaching-learning dynamic. The relationship between the learner, learning and assessment needs to be kept central and the idea of teacher empowerment is fundamental. This chapter is a call to honour and sustain teacher professionalism through educative forms of school-based and teacher-led evaluation, assessment and communities of judgement practice. It supports the argument for a central place for classroom assessment in the role of assessment in educational accountability...

The lobby is large and inviting. The rooms are a good size except for the bathroom. The bathroom is extremely small. The hallways are dark and musty. But when those renovations are done will be glad to stay there again.
We did not like that online photos showed renovated rooms while they put us in a non-renovated room.
location air conditioning units loud and old. carpets and bathrooms sub standard.
The view and location
Great location Hotel is very run down
Location When we got there the room had a moldy smell and it had a humidifier on like if the room had been flooded and recently dried. We complained and they acknowledged the smell and gave us another room ruby away, but my question is WHY put someone in that room in the first place? With plenty available rooms. That left a bitter taste in my mouth.
It was dirty. There was a crack in the ceiling with apparent water damage. The hotels in the area were sold out and guests left with no other options. Disappointing. Shouldn't even be allowed to have guests. Seems like their renovation has been going on for years.
The Dolphins in the waterfront The Landings, not your fault and our room was very damp. It felt like they just shampooed the carpet.
Will NEVER stay there again.
completely run-down, renovations going on, but not what we expected
Location is awesome. Staff is great. Bar and restaurant were pretty good and convienient. Air conditioner worked but was extremely loud I would chug every 5 to 10 seconds and pull you out of sleep. Soon as at turned off you could get about 30 mins of sleep before it cut back on. One of the biggest weekends in Jacksonville for tailgating or people needing ice you would have thought they would have had more than one operational. I was on the 4th floor and had to go exploring and after checking 5 other broken ice machines I found one that worked. I didn't like the fact that I had to pay to self park. Why would you charge someone to park at your hotel that already paid to stay there? If your gonna charge $20 for parking probably should be all valet.
Good location with hotel shuttle to Veterans Memorial Stadium for $6. once renovations are completed, could be a very nice hotel. Shower did not drain very quickly. I was standing ankle deep in water while taking a 10 min. shower. My view was of the roof and air conditioning units. Have to pay $10 to self park or $12 for valet parking per night.
It was quiet Maid knocked on door at 10 am. Don't wake me up early.
Ease of proximity to concert events; Like being in the building with a major restaurant which is always first-class...Ruth Chris... Suggest you consider a shuttle bus (perhaps WITH a small pay rate) both "to and from" major concerts which happen quite often. That would be a perk for your hotel, and it it were a "reservation only" situation, then that would be fine...That would top having to hail a cab or other options which can be kind of stressful. Pass this idea on to their management please! Cal Duke St. Simons Island, Ga. 31522
Parking was chaos. And they make you pay to park at the hotel. Also no hot water in the morning
I did not like the use of throw away dishes. First it is bad for the environment and second it is not nice to eat from it.
All the staff were very friendly, welcoming, attentive and accommodating. I love the warm cookies at the front desk, along with hot chocolate. Breakfasts were great, one of the best I've had. Very convenient. Room was clean and comfortable bedding, with a microwave and fridge. Great location, easy to find, within walking distance to my conference, and centrally located, close to the Landing. Definitely would stay here again. I would recommend this hotel.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Breakfast and staff. My room smelt like bacon my entire stay. The fire alarm went off at 12:30am and it was a false alarm
Location and the staff. We traveled 2.5 hours after a long night with family, and our room was not ready until after 6pm. Room was over priced for the condition of the furniture.
Very nice staff, very clean Location, parking prices
Pleasant hotel with a deligthful family swimming pool and hot tub. The hot breakfast buffet was quite good. The only disappointment was having to pay for parking in the garage. This was not advertised.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The room was clean and we had a great view. Also, location was excellent. The parking fees are $10.00/day, which is crazy. This isn't a resort. Also, the front desk staff seemed uninterested in guest services. I asked if fruit or anything could be placed out earlier for breakfast (6:30am) and the answer was flat out 'no.'
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Very clean hotel and very close to the river walk area. When we reserved the room we understood it was a suite with a separate bedroom from the main room area and it was not.
Location was great as right around the corner from fun!
Nothing There was a suspicious looking man outside and a car was getting towed when I was checking in. That was already making me feel uncomfortable. The hallways were dark and my room was all the way at the end of the hallway which made me feel trapped. The elevator was old and rickety and very small. The room was smelly. The kitchen area looked dreadful. I did not feel safe so I immediately checked out 10 mins after I checked in. My reservations were prepaid for a three night stay and non refundable. I didn't care. I would never recommend this hotel to any unaccompanied woman.

The Lean
Spend 30 days moving toward a vegan diet for lasting weight loss.Top Rated Diets of 2017
The Lean is a newly released book written by Kathy Freston that offers a revolutionary and simple plan for healthy and lasting weight loss. The program within The Lean is only 30 days long and shows you how to set an intention for what you want regarding your health and weight, and how to reach those goals no matter how big or small they may be. The Lean plan is a vegan diet based on science. On this program you will be eating foods that are delicious as well as filling. The 30 days of the program can be used as a jumpstart to weight loss for those that may have a goal that is higher than what can be achieved in that time period. There are two pivotal rules to the program though:
- Be willing to take just one step
- As you add healthier foods to your diet, eat the new foods first
Kathy Freston is a bestselling author that focuses on healthy eating and conscious living. The Lean gives you results through helping you gradually add in nutrient dense foods to your diet. These items will keep you full longer and stop your cravings. You can experience weight loss of between one and three pounds per week along with an increase of energy and improved digestion. The Lean includes tasty recipes and exercise recommendations.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- Focuses on diet and exercise for weight loss
- Offers weight loss of one to three pounds per week
- Incorporates one small change each day
- Healthy advice offered
- You don't have to be perfect to see results
- Moves you toward a vegan diet which may not be appealing for all
The Lean takes a very simple approach of asking you to make one small change each day during your 30 days on the program. The changes you make include swapping foods from your diet and adding in exercise. Each short chapter in the book focuses on a different day on the diet along with the suggested change. Your day one challenge is to drink lots of water, followed by having a hearty breakfast on day two. While the program does promote a vegan diet, this is done through a gradual process. On day six you switch out your milk and butter for plant based versions. Some of the other things you will be incorporating into your routine include taking vitamins, adding in more nuts and grains, reducing sugar and eating foods that are lower on the glycemic index scale.
As you incorporate these changes daily, The Lean also offers some suggestions for meals you can eat. There are numerous vegan recipes included in the book that will introduce you to vegan meals. Some of the recipes you will find in the book include:
- Greek Salad
- Ultimate BLT sandwich
- Chocolate Covered Strawberries
- Comforting Chili
- Moroccan Vegetable Tangine
- Penne Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- Tropical Bean Stew
- Terrific Tacos
The Lean asks that you incorporate some exercise on day 12 of the program. You are encouraged to do something, anything to get your body moving and get your heart rate up. Even if you just step out and take a walk around your neighborhood. One suggestion is that you get a buddy to work out with. This can make your exercise sessions more fun and harder to cancel. Once you start moving you will find it hard to stop which is a good thing. Just keep in mind that as you progress and push yourself harder, you will enhance your results. Exercise assists in weight loss and management through increased calorie burn. Some of the other benefits of exercise as outlined in The Lean include increased energy, increased metabolism and better mental clarity. As little as 30 minutes per day has been shown to enhance your weight loss. Everyone can fit in 30 minutes of exercise even if you jump rope during the commercials of your favorite show.
Some recommendations for getting more exercise into your day are to jog to your favorite television show, pop in an exercise DVD or turn on the game console to get fit through Wii or an XBOX Kinect. You can also do some push-ups and crunches while watching TV. The Center for Disease Control advises that 150 minutes of physical activity each week is an adequate amount for moderate weight loss and maintenance. You can break that down however you like. You can also purchase a pedometer and strive to reach 10,000 steps per day to challenge yourself. Some of the other moderate level exercises listed include:
- Volleyball
- Gardening
- Basketball
- Biking
- Running
- Jumping rope
The Lean focuses on making small changes each day for lasting weight loss. This is a great approach for those that are concerned with making a bunch of changes right away. This book does push you toward a vegan diet, so that is something to consider. Overall, this program seems to be a very solid way to lose weight and get fit through exercise and dietary changes.Common Misspellings

You heard that right people! The software update for Ice Cream Sandwich is apparently being rolled out to XOOM Wi-Fi units as we speak, bringing some much needed life to this pioneer in the Android landscape. Even though the XOOM never rocketed to stardom, at least there is comfort knowing that there is still a lot of love for the tablet.
Although owners of the Wi-Fi only XOOM in the US began reporting the good news about the over-the-air update, it's not known at this moment whether international versions, or the 4G LTE enabled one offered by Verizon, are getting in with all the fun. Regardless of that, you know that it's going to only be a matter of time before they see it in some form or another.
Considering that there are still very few Ice Cream Sandwich powered devices readily available for purchase, it's undoubtedly nice to see this year old model getting its fair share of the pie. Sure it's no longer deemed as a pencil pusher when you pit it against some of the quad-core tablets that are on the horizon, but hey, it's just sweet knowing that this tablet is getting the upgrade faster than others.

Best Portable Table Saw...
So for starters I just want to say Every power tool I own so far is a Dewalt except my Finish nailers are paslode and my Rotary Hammer is a Bosch. I am really happy with my Dewalt tools but i have been told a few ups and downs on the table saws.. I really want something thats portable so I can bring it with when I have to do projects for my friends.. I am looking at a Ridgid R4510 the Dewalt DW744RS and the Bosch 4100-09 unless someone has a better Idea on a better saw.. Any Input would be great I do plan on doing some finer work like the wife wants me to start making hope chests from cedar for the kids and etc I also build alot of car audio boxes out of 3/4 to 1 in MDF and I do all of my own work around the house ripping plywood and extensions for windows and what not..
bosch or dewalt. the rigid's are known for cheap components and burn out really quick
the bosch is heavier do to heavier duty parts but has a simpler fence design which is much easier to realign when it goes out of alignment.. the body of the saw is also close in with a metal cage to protect it per say and all the accessories store on board
the dewalt is plenty powerful and is lighter weight.. my biggest beef with them is the fence is tricky to realign
I am not saying it is the "best", but below is the current brand and model table saw, that my workers are standing by and demanding (for its light weight, compactness, and accuracy).
We are currently running (4) of them in the field: http://www.dewalt.com/tools/machiner...s-dw745_2.aspx
Well I will cross Ridgid off my list of Saws so now does the DeWalt or the Bosch have a better stand I have the fold up stand with wheels for my miter saw and I think its great ease of use and stability is basically what im interested in
I have the dewalt 745 also. I have been very satisfied with it. The big plus is the rack and pinion fence. It stays very accurate and you don't have to mess with it every time you move it. I have a fold up stand that is actually for the next bigger saw. They shipped it to me by accident. I just cut a 3/4" plywood base for it that drops in and stays put. Works fine, takes up little space in my van, plus I use it for other things too.
Mike Hawkins:)
FWIW, the current (Nov) issue of Family Handyman magazine has an article comparing portable table saws.

will these Moab wheels fit?
will these fit on a 2006 WK?
I'm not sure how to figure out if I have an "early" 2006 or "late". All I've been able to figure out is that the "early" '06's can fit them without spacers
5 Jeep Wrangler JK Sahara Moab 17" Wheels/Rims
Where did you learn that? I am pretty sure you need spacers to run moabs on any year WK.
Re: will these Moab wheels fit?
I've been reading on the "other site" that after "early 2006" the calipers were bigger and they won't fit without spacers...
I'm trying to find a solution that is relatively inexpensive that will fit without spacers, I don't want to risk the danger of spacers just to have bigger tires since this is my DD and I rarely go off road
Re: will these Moab wheels fit?
I learned the hard way that spacers are required for MOABs on an 06 WK. But Im not sure what year they are. I think I have 3/8" of 5/16" spacers on the front and none on the back.
Invest in a pair of spidertrax spacers and you will be fine. The stigma of spacers comes from the crap you can buy on eBay. I solid pair of spidertrax won't give you any issues especially if you don't beat on them off road. I have used them for years and never had a problem. Only spacers I will ever buy. Just tighten them to spec and never let a cowboy with an compressor torque them and you are golden.
Re: will these Moab wheels fit?
They will fit AFTER you get spacers. 1/4" spacers up front are all that is required if you plan on running the stock JK tires and those rims.
I went with 1.25" spacer because im rolling on 265's.
Hope this helps!
Re: will these Moab wheels fit?
Well I can tell you one thing. My dad has an 08 Limited and we tried putting his rims on mine, and mine on his. His fit on mine but my rims were not big enough to clear his calipers...just food for thought...
Re: will these Moab wheels fit?
I got the Moab's to fit with 5/16 spacer from the local parts shop.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I'll be there July 27 and 28. I know it's tough to get people to come out on a Monday or Tuesday.
I'm being snubbed by Austin's bookstores so I guess there won't be a reading. Still, if you'd like to meat up for ice cream or something let me know.
Wow! Thanks for all those suggestions! That's really helpful. A few follow up questions: If I were to try to do a reading in Austin, is Book People my best bet? Is there a some little punk hole-in-the-wall that would be better? Would you be interested in reading with me? It would be at the end of July.
Hello! I'm going to be coming to Austin at the end of July. It seems like maybe we have similar interests, could you give me some suggestions for what to do when I'm there? Good book stores? Vegan friendly restaurants? Good sunset-watching parks?
We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. Any theme and format. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013. Exhibition on the blog http://zineshow.blogspot.com All works will be exhibited also in the gallery "tymutopiyapres" http://tymutopiyapres.blogspot.com is not a commercial gallery.

text: Traditionally, the Red Corner (krasnyi ugol) was a place in a house for religious icons. Soviet leaders, as part of their attempt to eradicate religious superstition, changed the name to Little Red Corner (krasnyi ugolok) and established one in every enterprise, school and institution. From a sacred place for icons, it became a wall space for Soviet propaganda. The content varied from place to place; it might be a little museum with portraits of shock-workers (udarniki) or war veterans or exemplary pupils, but universally it was a place for the propagation of Soviet ideas and local information. The wall would have propaganda, texts, portraits, and wall newspapers (stengazeta). The color red - a sacred color for pre-Soviet Russians as well as for Russian revolutionaries - was always present.

We were pleased to read last night that Newcastle are going after Remy Cabella of Montpellier, and are trying to seal a deal for the 23 year-old French U21 play-maker, and we just hope that news is true.
Ben Arfa to be sold this summer – it's now probable
But it seems the number of players Newcastle need is increasing, and increasing quickly, and there are a number of reasons for that.
It's now obvious some of the players already at the club are just not good enough, and will be leaving this summer and they includes players like Jonas Gutierrez, Dan Gosling, Gabby Obertan, Shola Ameobi, Sylvain Marveaux, Romain Amalfitano.
And while we hope we are wrong, we just cannot see Loic Remy wanting to stay on Tyneside permanently when other bigger clubs are keen to sign him up.
And if things don't improve vastly before the season ends, don't be too surprised if Newcastle unload both Hatem Ben Arfa and Davide Santon, who have both been less than impressive so far this year.
And it will not please Newcastle fans at all if Hatem is sold, as he is still one of the most popular players at Newcastle, and he wanted to come to Newcastle back in the summer of 2010, after we had just been promoted back to the Premier League.
But in the summer he will have been on Tyneside for four years and will have only one year left on his five year contract and expect Newcastle could well cash in on the mercurial winger.
And Santon has done himself no favors with his last two appearances at left back against Sunderland and Tottenham, when he looked a liability in defense.
And since Newcastle have plenty of cover for him in Paul Dummett, Massadio Haidara and Yanga-Mbiwa, don't be too surprised if Newcastle sell him and he moves back home to Italy.
So there's nine players who could depart this summer, so Newcastle had better get busy lining up their replacements – and there may be two more.
We never even mentioned Papiss Cisse, who is likely to leave if any clubs comes in with a £10M offer for the 28 year-old Senegal striker, who looked sadly out of touch on Wednesday night, and Fabricio Coloccini who could return to Buenos Aries to be with his family this summer.
What do you think?

Press Release
Getty Images has strong presence at Visa Pour L'Image 2011
London - 18 July, 2011: Getty Images will once again have a significant presence at Visa Pour L'Image, the international photojournalism festival held annually in Perpignan, France. This year, Jerome Sessini and Alvaro Ybarra Zavala have been nominated for the prestigious Visa d'Or awards, in the news and feature categories, which will be announced on 1 and 2 September, 2011 respectively. One of three finalists in the features category, Alvaro Ybarra Zavala has been nominated for his work on the conflict in Colombia, while Jerome Sessini is one of five finalists in the news category, for his work on Libya.
Furthermore, Getty Images will be announcing the winners of its 2011 Grants for Editorial Photography at the festival, which aims to showcase and support powerful and inspiring photojournalism projects. The winners will be announced on stage during the evening screening on Thursday 1 September, with the winning recipients showcasing their chosen projects on Friday, 2 September from 3 - 4pm. Since the grants inception in 2005, Getty Images has awarded over $600,000 to professional photojournalists.

Reportage by Getty Images photojournalists' Shaul Schwarz and Alvaro Ybarra Zavala have also been chosen by the festival to exhibit their work. Additionally, Getty Images' photojournalist Ed Ou shall be exhibiting his work, after having received the prestigious Young Reporter of Perpignan award.
The moving and inspiring exhibitions will focus on the following:
Columbia, in Eternal Sorrow
Alvaro Ybarra Zavala / Reportage by Getty Images
After more than 40 years of civil war, Colombia is a divided country. Decades of violence have put an end to far too many lives in this extraordinary country. The sequence of events in the war is now dictated by strategic and economic interests, far removed from the ideological values that led to the conflict. Today's talk of left-wing or right-wing armed groups is misleading. Drug trafficking, palm oil, water and now the market for offsetting CO? emissions are all factors driving the conflict. The systematic violation of human rights has become part of the general way of life. The number of internally displaced persons is the highest in the world – more than three million. But officially, there is no war in Colombia.

Narco Cultura
Shaul Schwarz / Reportage by Getty Images
"Let's face it – the heroes these days are not the lawyers or the politicians. The heroes are the guys flashing the money," says Narco music promoter Joel Vasquez outside a Narco-Corrido club in Los Angeles. "The market is bigger than ever. I think we can be the next hip hop."
While death statistics have been documented ad nauseam, far less has been said about the broader social reality created by the drug trade and affecting the lives of millions of Latin-Americans. For many there, Narco traffickers provide the only models of fame and success. Greed, drugs and violence have now created a new culture – a Narco Culture.

· Child Soldiers of Somalia
Ed Ou/ Reportage by Getty Images
Ed Ou will receive the Young Reporter of Perpignan award for his work showcasing the child soldiers of Somalia.
Child soldiers are deployed across the globe, but according to the United Nations, the Somali government is among the "most persistent violators" of sending children into war, finding itself on a list with notorious rebel groups like the Lord's Resistance Army. All across this lawless land, smooth, hairless faces peek out from behind enormous guns. In blown-out buildings, children chamber bullets twice the size of their fingers. In neighbourhoods by the sea, they run checkpoints and face down four-by-four trucks, though they can barely see over the hood.

Adrian Murrell, Senior Vice President, Global Editorial, Getty Images says: "I am extremely proud that, once again, our photojournalists are being recognised at Visa Pour L'Image, through both their nominations for the Visa d'Or, as well as being given the opportunity to showcase their work. We are delighted that their projects are being highlighted at the Visa Pour L'Image festival, which we are sponsoring for a fourth year, as we continue giving support to the photojournalism community."
In addition to these exhibitions, Getty Images will also have a strong presence at the festival, with several screenings of their photographers' work, as well as conducting daily portfolio review sessions at their stand.
Visa Pour L'Image will also be hosting a memorial to Getty Images' photojournalist Chris Hondros, as well as Tim Hetherington, who were tragically killed in April 2011, whilst covering the events in Libya.
Adrian Murrell continues: "It has been a difficult year for the industry, with the loss of two if its most experienced and respected photojournalists, Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington. We will all be remembering and paying tribute to them this year."

The Baxter County Sheriff's Office helicopter was used to locate and rescue two lost canoeists Monday evening off the White River. The Sheriff's Office was notified about 6:30 PM that two persons who had been canoeing on the North Fork and White Rivers were about three hours overdue.
The caller reported that two people from the Kansas City, Missouri area, a man and a woman, Larry and Carrol Young, had put in on the North Fork river below the Norfork Dam Monday morning. They were to head down the North Fork River to its intersection with the White River, then go downstream several miles to Red's Landing on the White River, where they would stop and take out.
Search boats from the Norfork Volunteer Fire Department and the Sheriff's Office helicopter were launched to search for the overdue canoeists. They were finally spotted about 8:15 PM on the White River several miles below Calico Rock. Pilot Benny Magness landed the helicopter on the river bank and was able to communicate with these persons. They had missed their exit point at Red's Landing many miles back upriver. They had turned over the canoe in the rapidly flowing water at some point, but had managed to re-board it. They did not know where they were at.
Pilot Magness was able to direct these persons downsteam about another two miles to a location near the Sylamore Creek/Allison area in Stone County. The helicopter again landed, and the helicopter crew was able to assist the canoeists in exiting the river at this point. They were not injured, but were not in condition to travel further. Fog was beginning to set in on the river and dusk was approaching. They were both airlifted by helicopter after night fall back to Red's Landing in Baxter County, where first responders with the Norfork Volunteer Fire Department were waiting for them. They did not require medical attention.
The names and identity of the canoeists are not available at this time.

Action for Children works in local communities to protect and support the young and vulnerable, as they grow up. We exist to make their lives better: now, tomorrow and every day. We make growing up safer. We believe in taking action early to fix problems before a child is overwhelmed by them. We make things happen quickly and with understanding. We help children at different stages of their lives. We care about each child and every family. We treat everyone as an individual and give people the support they really need. We never give up. We run over 650 services, from children's centres to intensive family support, from fostering and adoption to respite care for the disabled. We have over 7,000 staff and 2,000 volunteers. In the past year we helped more children and their families across the UK than any other charity. Today, we could easily double that number to meet demand. Let's all take more action for children.

This craft is really the cat's meow... There are so many fun uses for an egg carton in art-- this project may be the most darling! An egg carton becomes an adorable little cat nose with pipe-cleaner whiskers. (A kitty cat was my daughter's animal of choice--however, this craft could also be adapted to make bunny or puppy snouts, too!)
Next punch two holes in each side of the nose. After you have all four holes, your child can paint it their color of choice.

text: This is the Discussion thread for the season. Post any draft recaps, trade proposals, trash talk, banter, boasting, crying and complaining here. Firstly, thanks to those who turned up to the draft. I must say it was disappointing that we began the draft with only 5 of the 10 owners present. We had a couple more turn up later, but the auto-draft is not good for all parties involved. It was impossible to obtain one of the stars without overpaying due to the auto-drafters bidding until the ESPN ranking value was reached. Some auto-drafters were allocated 2 or 3 of the first 10-15 players which left them with little money for other players. Still, those who were present managed to make do as best as possible by snaring some great middle round value picks. I dare say there will be quite a few trade proposals flying around in the next week or so. The teams have now been set up in Yahoo so you may begin setting your lineups. There will be the standard 2 day waiting period before you can start claiming players from the waiver wire. Make use of the Trading Block page if you have anyone you'd like to trade. This makes trade proposals easier because others know which players they can target. Click on 'League', then 'Trading Block' --> 'Edit'. eg. Smoooth - you might want to put Addai in there.
