This Week in Watches: An affordable Kiwi travel watch, a Wright brothers Bremont, Moscow's time zone change and more.
What started as a batch of 1,200 watches made in 1941 for the German Luftwaffe has since become one of the most iconic watch designs in history. Today Fliegers are made by both household-name German brands and a set of potent up-and-comers, in both classic styling and with an artistic license, at bank-breaking prices and for only a couple hundred bucks. Here are our favorites.
This Week in Watches we examine Swatches gone large, Fliegers gone small, space Luminoxes, ceramic Bell & Rosses and more.
It's easy to become numb to the incredible prices of fine watches. But being a watch enthusiast doesn't mean choosing between a good watch and a decent used car. By looking in the right places, you can avoid bland fashion watches in favor of well-made, unique timepieces that scratch the watch nerd itch while protecting your post-college pledge to never subsist on ramen noodles again. Here are a few examples of what can be found for less than $1,000.
Bronze has been around almost as long as horology: finding form in weaponry and decorations at the same time water clocks first appeared (4000 BCE), it's mankind's oldest alloy. Concocted in varying combinations of copper and tin, bronze can pack a Vickers hardness rating higher than that of wrought iron and stainless steel combined, and is also anti-magnetic and resistant to the corrosion caused by seawater.These characteristics, along with its ability to stand out in the seas of stainless-steel wristwear, make it an ideal alloy for your wrist.
While it is widely acknowledged that the best watch movements come from Switzerland, watch collectors and industry insiders also know that some of the best watch cases are made in Germany. Maybe it's due to the strong heritage of craftsmanship and

So essentially the argument here is whether : FAQ > BRB FAQ> Codex > BRB OR FAQ > Codex > BRB FAQ > BRB?
I always considered the reason they put the ruling in the BRB FAQ was to cover all instances of +1 or whatever to Reserves, since the Astropath is NOT the only thing that can do this. I've always been a fan of Codex > BRB.... But I have always considered the BRB FAQ to have a more definitive ruling than the Codex, since the FAQ is more recent. The IG codex was written when taking them as Allies or taking Allies with them didn't exist or was limited to archaic codices such as Daemonhunters and Witchhunters. I guess either GW will have to FAQ this ruling or state definitively the priority order that the FAQ's and Rulebooks go into. Otherwise I see this thread going around in circles :P

no, that's not the argument.
We know that the FAQ beats out.
What we are arguing is the philosophy of the rules:
Does army special rules apply to allies?
Do they apply to enemy models?
I say, army special rules do not apply to enemy models. Allies of Convenience and Desperate Allies are 'enemy models' according to the main rulebook. Therefore, a rule like 'telepathic relay' will not apply to anything but Battle Brothers.
The FAQ goes further: no.
What about other special rules. The FAQs have even stricter interpretation, on the whole: slews of special rules do not apply to allies. Note that the rules that are mentioned are ICs that apply rules to units they join. The only ICs that can join ally units are Battle Brothers.
If one takes this interpretation further, the conclusion is that special rules from one army do not apply to an ally army.QUOTE Jwolf: "Besides, Tynskel isn't evil, he's just drawn that way. "

Will Barrett's success story is just beginning.
The North Hall High sophomore is involved in several classes and activities at school, but the story of the 2003 Challenged Child & Friends graduate could have been very different if he had not attended the inclusive preschool.
"I have Asperger's (syndrome)," he said. "As you may know, that is a special form of autism. ... Early intervention is essential for kids like me."
Barrett was speaking at the Champions for Children breakfast, hosted by Challenged Child & Friends on Tuesday as a way to thank its 2013 financial supporters.
The nonprofit is an "early intervention and preschool center" for both children with special needs as well as their typically developing peers, according to Executive Director David Earnest.
"From the beginning of these children's lives, they are mixed together in classroom settings," Earnest said. "So our children with disabilities are able to develop relationships, they can compete, they learn alongside of their typically developing friends. And the typically developing children ... they become friends, and I think they also develop a sort of empathy for children (and) people who are different."
The program accepts children as young as 6 weeks, up to 6 years of age. Along with teachers and paraprofessionals, medical professionals and therapists are on staff so children who need therapy can get it at school rather than going to an outside specialist.
Ashley Ellis has two children in Challenged Child; her oldest is a 3-year-old with special needs.
"She's just made so much progress," Ellis said. "She wasn't able to sit up on her own, she wasn't meeting her milestones (when she started at Challenged Child). Now, she's about to start walking."
Ellis also has a 10-month-old infant, who does not have special needs, in the program.
Earnest said Challenged Child is designed to be all-inclusive.
"(Children with special needs) need an opportunity to be a child, not a diagnosis," he said. "(They need) an opportunity to just be as typical of a child as possible, and that's what we provide."
The nonprofit relies on donations from companies and individuals to continue its programs for the nearly 300 children it serves. Tuesday's event was not only to thank the 2013 sponsors, but also to look forward to 2014.
Funding helps provide therapists, technology and other adaptive equipment for children like Barrett.
After graduating from the program 10 years ago, Barrett moved on to public school and has seemingly enjoyed a "typical" childhood.
He is a member of North Hall High's Key Club and Chinese Society; he's also on the school newspaper staff.
Barrett said he is often reminded by his mother that "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."
"I know she's right," he said. "So I'm working hard."

Question about stairwell width
Hello all. This is my first post here. I am here seeking guidance and advice.
I have been framing the inside of a free standing metal building. This will be used as a residence. I laid the framing for a stairwell out at 36" wide. I made one important mistake. I did not account for the finished wall width. Now that the sheetrock has been installed the free span inside the stairwell is only 35".
My questions pertain to the inspection of this stairwell. I understand this would not meet the minimum requirement of 36" wide. Are inspectors allowed to give any leniency for an infraction such as this? Does this stairwell being 1" too narrow pose any serious problems, other than the fact it does not meet code?
If I were to build a code-compliant set of stairs elsewhere in the building, say from the garage/workshop leading into living the living quarters, would I be allowed to keep the infringing stairs in place?
I have really looked into methods of altering the width of the stairwell, and I don't see how I can readily widen it to meet code.
Any insight would be appreciated. I know I am going to hear something that I would rather not, but...hey, I made my stairs too narrow!
Thanks in advance
Based on the '06 IRC, if you have one set of stairs that meet code (clear width of 36"), you may have other staircases (that serve that same area) that are narrower (but not narrower than 30").
Regarding your inspector's leniency, I think that's pretty much up to him/her, yes? Give 'em a call, ask 'em what they think...
Thanks for your reply Mac. That is pretty good news.
I should have prefaced my post by saying that we are building in a rural area. We do not have to obtain building permits and don't have inspections, with the exception of waste management.
I got a construction loan from the bank, which required I get a take out letter from a mortgage company. My concern is when I get the house inspected in order to get a mortgage, that the inspector will object to the stairwell only being 35".
Although it is possible, it would be a major undertaking to widen the stairs by 1". I would have to double up a 35' load bearing wall by adding sister truss and additional framing to hold the sister truss. This wall is 20' high in some places. I will also have to remove the left-hand wall of the stairwell. Of course I would have to move the wall upstairs that forms upper stairwell wall. I think I could yield 2" maximum by doing all of this.
Like I said, this would not be impossible, just a lot of time, expense, and labor to gain the needed 1". If I could simply add another set of stairs from the garage/workshop area, I would rather do that.
In summary, I don't have to deal with an actual building inspector. I only have to satisfy whatever level of inspection that takes place in order to close the mortgage process on a new construction home.
Thanks in advance for any input you all have to offer.
One more bit of information. My state adopted the 2003 IRC and IBC.
The 2003 IRC requires a 36" width. I was unaware of any language in the '06 that would allow reduced clearance on a secondary stairway, so I'll have to check that out when I get back to work! There is no language to that effect in the '03.
Honestly, most inspectors won't catch it if it is only an inch off. Some will, most won't. Personally, I don't get fussy about it unless it is noticeably narrow. To my knowledge, the only reason that it is in the code is to ease the job of getting furniture down the stairs. Unlike the commercial code, stairway width in a home isn't based on occupant load and egress.
Food for thought, and a basis for friendly discussion if they do in fact flag it as an issue (it is my logic and won't necessarily get you off the hook)...
Handrails are permitted to encroach 4-1/2" into the width of the stair. One handrail can reduce the stairway's width to 31-1/2", two handrails can reduce the width to 27". The width of the treads and walls must still be 36". What I'm trying to show is that the required width is for furniture, not hurried escape from the building or accessibility. A 27" width is very, very narrow, and I personally don't see much more hazard between that and a 1" reduction and tread width.
I tend to be a bit of a boy scout as an inspector, and don't let much slide, but I think I'd have to use my blinders on this situation.
That being said, the best advice is to get another inch of width. Or perhaps get in touch with the inspector that will be looking at it to get his opinion.
Thank you sir for your reply. I was hoping you would chime in. I have been lurking here on and off for the past few weeks. I noticed you posted replies on a lot of issues, and that you were sort of a stickler. I mean that in a respectful way. Maybe I should have said "perfectionist!"
What I am looking for is a worst case scenario kind of logic. I know worst case is add an inch, but to me, adding another set of stairs would be easier and cheaper, especially if I could add them in the workshop/garage area. I'm not sure if that will fly, hopefully it will if the 35" stairs aren't accepted.
I am familiar with all the old addages regarding doing stuff right. I'm just knee-deep in a mental muck and weighing my options against each other.
I called a buddy of mine today who is a GC and does a lot of work in schools and for the military. He pretty much said the same thing. He didn't see a big issue with it being 1" too narrow and said most mortgage inspectors would not notice it.
I don't have a clue who would be inspecting the dwelling once it is complete, which makes calling an inspector difficult.
I'm still all ears, and really appreciate the input.
Thanks a lot
The code your area is under doesn't allow a non-compliant set of stairs, no matter how many compliant sets of stairs you have. I seriously doubt that the '06 changes that because it establishes an "if you have one compliant facility the others don't have to meet" precedent, but I will check for sure. I'm off work for a few days though...You might want see if someone on here has an '06 code and could quote you the section verbatim. All I've got here is an '03. Since the '03 is the code you're under, the inspector certainly doesn't have to accept an unadopted change that the '06 may have brought about.
If in fact a 2nd, more compliant stair were allowed as maybe the '06 does, I can guarantee that it will not be permitted to go through the garage (and count, that is). Garages cannot be used for egress in any circumstance, and you must have compliant stairs from all levels. If a garage stair were added, I'd allow it, but would not consider it the "required" stair regardless of its dimension.
Thanks for your compliment of calling me a perfectionist. I try to be very fair and consistent in my enforcement of the codes, while balancing the need for safety. Most builders that I've dealt with will say that I'm tough and stubborn, but very fair. There's not much wiggle room on some things, and there's wiggle room on others. :yes:
According to the USDOE it looks like we are under 2006 IRC*. I apologize for the possible misinformation about 2003 IRC. The resource I got that from may be outdated. Still looking into it though.
OK, scenario #2 in regards to adding a code-compliant set of stairs from the garage workshop:
I am going to try to get this garage/workshop area to be considered as a portion of the dwelling. This ~1100 sq. ft. of space has it's own HVAC unit, urinal restroom, and NSF rated stainless utility sink, as well as the mechanical room for my HVAC systems and water heater. All of the walls and ceiling will be finished. Although there has never been a car parked inside, it has two 12 ft wide by 10 ft tall garage doors (not rollup) and one 3070 metal entry door. I have an additional 800 sq feet of covered parking adjacent to the garage/workshop where I park my car and truck.
Do you think there is the possibility of having this area considered a recreational or multipurpose area? Of course my motivation would be to increase the heated square footage (for appraisal value) and for the perhaps necessity of having a code-complaint set of stairs.
I hope the above info is not too confusing.
Thank you
*EDITED to add - "2006 IRC with direct reference to 2006 IECC. 2006 IRC with amendments. All AC duct insulation is R6 instead of R8 and to include Section R301.2.1.1 of the 2003 edition of the IRC in lieu of Section R301.2.1.1 of the 2006 edition. The code adopted and amended above in this Subsection shall remain in effect until the 2009 edition of the IRC is published, at which time such edition of the code shall be adopted by the council as provided in Subparagraph (A)(3)(a) of this Section. Thereafter, the council shall adopt the latest edition of the IRC as provided in Subparagraph (A)(3)(a) of this Section."
I guess it is easy enough to leave the skirtboards out, if that in and of itself is code-compliant. I would still prefer the skirtboards if possible.
Your "garage" (sorry :whistling2:) may or may not have some minor hurdles due to the water heater and HVAC units. Ignition sources must be elevated 18" above the garage floor. With sealed combustion units there is some debate as to what is considered an ignition source. Personally, switches, circuitry, and of course combustion chambers are potential ignition sources. I've always allowed a self closing, self sealing solid door with a reasonably airtight threshold to circumvent the 18" requirement, provided the offending equipment is in its own closet or mechanical room inside of or adjoining the garage. The 20 minute fire membrane required by code would have to be maintained of course (sheetrock, firesealing holes).
Another thing to remember is that your garage's furnace cannot pull combustion air from the garage. It must pull it from outdoors or the attic, or it must be a high-efficiency unit that has intake and exhaust piped outdoors. A unit without sealed combustion sitting in the garage would pose a real issue.
Sorry to be so full of bad news. I had knee surgery this morning so maybe I'm cranky! :laughing: But I assure you that this information isn't pain-killer induced. :whistling2:
2003 section R311.5.1...
Stairways shall not be less than 36" in clear width at all points above the permitted handrail height and below the required headroom height.
I don't belive that there was a significant code change in 2006 on this. But hopefully someone has it.
Sorry, I mis-spoke on the treads. It made sense to me but after re-reading it, it was stated incorrectly. The 31.5" and 27" widths are taken below the handrails, or handrail, respectively. It would apply to skirt boards, but it won't be a problem in your case.
Your issue is wall width above the handrail.
Here's an awesome 2006-based link. I'm gonna read it but will post it first.
I find no dimensional changes from 2003 pertaining to your issue. Another portion of chapter three of the '06 IRC may have the wording that BuiltByMac is speaking of.
Oh brother! More stuff to think about!
Regarding the mechanical closet. It is an enclosed closet. There are two HVAC units and a water heater in there. My house is all electric, no gas or propane. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. All equipment is elevated 18" from the floor.
The HVAC unit that conditions the house takes in air from the house, and the unit that conditions the garage takes it in from the garage.
I'm going to re-read your post regarding combustibles. I'm definitely learning a lot here.
Okie dokie. You're in much better shape with all electric HVAC and water heater in this application. Combustion air is a non-issue with electric, as it isn't a fuel burning appliance. Shouldn't be any problems with that at all, provided the furnaces are elevated (and many would say they don't have to be).
Sorry to spook you.

I've had my new Gummy Bear silicone implant for one month. It's for breast reconstruction. I love it! I feel just like it was just like my own breast only better!
I'm glad this option is available for breast cancer patients, and I'm glad it's so much safer than the old liquid gell silicone implants, which I had removed ten years ago for fear of a rupture. I had mine under the muscle and some fat redistribution to help it look natural.

Cirrhosis is a serious medical condition which is used to refer to a group of chronic diseases in the liver due to which the normal liver cells are damaged and simultaneously the amount of normal liver tissue decreases in quantity to be replaced by scar tissues. The symptoms through which this disorder is manifested are known as cirrhosis symptoms and although they may be very few at first, their presence increases with the increasing severity of the disease.
The most common cause of liver cirrhosis is excessive alcohol consumption. Liver disease resulting from alcohol intake is the fourth leading cause of death among people aged 25 to 64 in urban areas of the united states. A less frequent cause of cirrhosis is the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is estimated that 4 million people in the united states have hepatitis C, and about 85 percent of those will go on to develop chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis. Blood transfusions given before routine testing for HCV are presumed to be the main cause of the rising number of people infected with HCV. Malnutrition and chronic inflammation can lead to liver malfunction.
Symptoms and Complications of Cirrhosis
When scar tissue begins to replace the healthy tissue within the liver, this can cause an impairment or loss in liver functioning. An individual may be asymptomatic in the earliest stages and then begin to experience symptoms that include, unexplained weight loss, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, itching, veins will develop that appear to be spider-like, and the build up of fluid within the abdomen that will cause bloating and abdominal pain. As this disease begins to progress, many complications will arise and often times these complications are the first indication of cirrhosis and leads to its diagnosis.
As the liver begins to lose its functioning edema will occur which is the swelling caused by a build up of fluids within the body that typically begins to appear in the lower extremities. Swelling of the abdomen may also occur – ascites – and this can lead to a serious infection that is called "bacterial peritonitis".
An individual may bruise or bleed easily due to the fact that the liver produces the proteins that are body needs to aid in the clotting of our blood. Portal hypertension can also occur which is pressure that is increased within the portal vein and this can cause the expansion of blood vessels in the esophagus or stomach that have the potential to burst and cause an individual to bleed seriously requiring emergency medical attention. Gallstones can also develop from the build up of bile within the gallbladder, and jaundice which is the condition that causes the skin and whites of the eyes to turn yellow.
More recommendations for natural liver cirrhosis treatment
Keep the colon clean. Toxins accumulate in the liver and must be excreted via the colon and kidneys. Avoid constipating foods. The liver has to work twice as hard if you are constipated. Be sure your diet contains sufficient amounts of choline, inositol, and lecithin, as well as bulk and fiber. Eat a diet consisting of 75percent raw foods. If cirrhosis is severe, consume only fresh vegetables and fruits and their juices for two weeks. Increase your consumption of foods high in potassium, such as bananas, blackstrap molasses, brewers yeast, dulse, kelp, prunes, raisins, and rice and wheat bran. Include the following in your diet: almonds, brewers yeast, grains and seeds, raw goat's milk, and products derived from goat's milk. Nuts must be raw and from tightly sealed packages.
Another important therapy recommended for natural liver cirrhosis treatment is "The cure within one minute for all diseases" lots of people know that this therapy has gain publicity lately. According to the researched of Madison Cavanaugh and some top alternative scientist it was discovered that if you deprive a cell 35% of its needed oxygen for 48 hours, the cell will become malignant and cancerous. They don't realize that lack of oxygen is the underlying cause of most diseases and sickness.
When the cells in our body is supplied and delivered with abundant amounts of oxygen, no viruses, harmful bacteria, toxins, pathogens and disease microorganisms can survive because they cannot survive in a highly oxygenated body. We have to be educated and aware that oxygen is the primary element that our cells need when it comes to cell regeneration and this is very important in dealing with liver cirrhosis at the cellular level.

Drake Covers Vibe Magazine's 'Race Issue'
Drake ends the year on top by scoring the cover of Vibe magazine's 'Race Issue.'
A menacing-looking Drizzy, pictured in black-and-white, appears on the front of the publication with the tagline "The Year Drake Became King." An asterisk at the end of the sentence leads readers to some smaller font, in which the rapper gets the title of having "2013's best album."
In the interview, the Toronto native addresses his versatility. "People f—ing love to sing, that's what I never forget," says Drake. "But you can't say my bars aren't up there with the best of them. People keep challenging me about what real rap is. Is it the s— you know all the words to, or the s— that sounds fast and complex? I don't have the answer. At the same time, I know I can do a couple things."
When asked about competition with Kendrick Lamar, the OVO leader brushes off any supposed beef. "There's no real issue. It's tough because the people wanna see us tear each other down; I don't wanna give them that," Drake explains.
Read more of the story to find out the 'Nothing Was the Same' creator's new goals, his apology to "Courtney From Hooters on Peachtree" and why he feels he's "most-hated out here."

Ironside: A Modern Faery's Tale (edition 2008)
by Holly Black
Work details
Ironside by Holly Black
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Faeries that are trapped ironside (ie in the city built of steel, comprised of iron) which is harmful to themselves, are met by Kaye, a changeling, and her friend, also an outcast. Adventures ensue.
Ironside follows shortly after the events of [b:Tithe|46777|Tithe A Modern Faerie Tale (Book 1)|Holly Black|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170343494s/46777.jpg|1460966] and [b:Valiant|266607|Valiant A Modern Tale of Faerie (Book 2)|Holly Black|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173279413s/266607.jpg|588218]. Roiben was a loyal knight of the Seelie Queen, even after she sent him to serve her sister, the Queen of the Unseelie Court. After countless years of torment and cruelty, he brought about the Unseelie Queen's death and now presides over her court. At his coronation, he sets an impossible quest for his lover, the pixie Kaye, to keep her safe from the war between the courts. Of course Kaye will have none of this romantic nonsense, and pledges to fulfill his quest. Meanwhile, Kaye's bff Corny is dealing with the rage and self-loathing left behind by his enthrallment and his sister's death.
This book feels so genuine. The characters are each and every one of them fully fleshed out--Corny is particularly real. The fey courts and the human world (aka "Ironside") are described with a precise poetry. Unlike Emma Bull's [b:War for the Oaks|70582|War for the Oaks|Emma Bull|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170736704s/70582.jpg|144029] or say, Poppy Z Brite's [b:Lost Souls|452244|Lost Souls|Poppy Z. Brite|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/718N3NF4Q2L._SL75_.gif|440863], the descriptions of the fey and the punked out humans never feel like wish-fulfillment. The entire book is about negotiation, re-negotiating power, trying to come to terms with an untenable situation and new, uncomfortable knowledge about oneself. I loved it! I read the entire book in about an hour.
It's time for Roiben's coronation -- but when Kaye tries to swear her undying love to him, he sends her on an impossible quest which banishes her from his presence, seemingly forever. In her quest to find belonging, she finds herself a pawn in the games of the fae. Can a pixie outplay a queen? I bought this series at a used bookstore, and it sat on my to-read shelf for god-only-knows how many years before I finally picked it up and read it. It was good, but YA; book 2 definitely took a weird spin into unrelated territory before turning back; story elements I expected never appeared. It was satisfying, but the books went back into the used bookstore bag without much regret.
Holly Black's modern faerie trilogy ends perfectly. I loved this book. I loved this series.
Ironside takes us back to the original gang - Kaye, the brash pixie raised as a human girl, Roiben the silver-haired faerie knight (now king of the Unseelie Court) and Corny, a miserable young man, not comfortable in his own skin. It also throws in characters from Valiant - most notably Luis, who comes back in a big way.
In this novel the tensions between Roiben and his once-mistress, Silarial, queen of the Bright Court, rise to a peak with war brewing between the faerie realms, our friends caught in the middle. Everything is dangerous and unsteady. Corny is still wounded by the death of his sister and the way he was treated by the faerie knight Nephamael. Roiben still hates himself and what he has become, and can't hardly see a way out beyond dying and maybe taking Silarial with him. Meanwhile his sister, Ethine, doesn't understand why he won't just come home to the Bright Court and let everything be as it was. Kaye declares her love for Roiben, only to have him send her on an impossible task - knowing that she can't see him again until she completes it. Everyone is hurting for so many reasons and the danger just keeps compounding against them.
Black's writing is smooth and beautiful. The villains are vindictive, petty and shrewd, the heroes are brash and tough and reckless, but have such very genuine emotion. The imagery of faerie is beautifully done and the way Block weaves in folklore and myth makes my heart happy.
I am going to hunt out her other series after reading these. I think I have found a new favourite young adult author!
Better than Tithe, about the same as Valiant.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0689868219, Paperback)In the realm of Faerie, the time has come for Roiben's coronation. Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing -- her love for Roiben. But when Kaye, drunk on faerie wine, declares herself to Roiben, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest. Now Kaye can't see or speak to Roiben unless she can find the one thing she knows doesn't exist: a faerie who can tell a lie.
Miserable and convinced she belongs nowhere, Kaye decides to tell her mother the truth -- that she is a changeling left in place of the human daughter stolen long ago. Her mother's shock and horror sends Kaye back to the world of Faerie to find her human counterpart and return her to Ironside. But once back in the faerie courts, Kaye finds herself a pawn in the games of Silarial, queen of the Seelie Court. Silarial wants Roiben's throne, and she will use Kaye, and any means necessary, to get it. In this game of wits and weapons, can a pixie outplay a queen?
Holly Black spins a seductive tale at once achingly real and chillingly enchanted, set in a dangerous world where pleasure mingles with pain and nothing is exactly as it appears.

As the possessor of Roibin's true name, sixteen-year-old Kaye returns to Faeryland to try and complete a nearly-impossible quest that will release him from the spell of the faery queen who holds him in thrall.

Seems that long overdue Zune European release isn't actually overdue at all...
Welcoming in the New Year with what first seemed a sure fire hoax and now just general madness are widespread reports that 30GB Zunes are suddenly failing all across America - and all at once!
The phenomena - which started on New Year's Eve at approximately 2am - apparently affects those running the latest firmware and who restart their players. A hard reset has managed to fix the problem for some, but at this stage it is unknown what caused it or why it has apparently happened in near synchronisation on the units (no their warranties hadn't just run out... at least so I'm told!).
Dubbed 'Y2K9' (ingenious!), the issue has yet to be addressed by Microsoft but given the new year hadn't actually kicked in when the bug arose it doesn't appear to be related to calendar oddness.
So yes, Zune firmware 3.0 is quite nice and yes, the MP3 player isn't actually as terrible as it is presumed by many over here, but then again there do seem to be a few bugs still floating around!?!
Now please form an orderly queue and leave your Zune jokes here...

Given her long and successful career in Tinseltown, Kirsten Dunst has seen her fair share of industry corruption.
However, the "Crazy/Beautiful" actress is convinced that the only people who fall prey to inappropriate advances from bigwigs are the ones who want it.
With her new thriller "The Two Faces of January" nearing its anticipated premiere, Kirsten Dunst soaked up the spotlight by covering the May 2014 issue of Harper's Bazaar UK magazine.
Love was in the air at the Staples Center last night (March 4) as Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis joined Kirsten Dunst and Garrett Hedlund for the Los Angeles Lakers game.
Stepping out for a romantic dinner date, Kirsten Dunst and her boyfriend Garrett Hedlund showed up at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on Thursday (January 9).
The "Bring It On" cutie looked absolutely gorgeous in a red and black dress while the "TRON: Legacy" actor wore a black suit as they made their way into the fancy hot spot.
Everyone in Tinseltown is excited about the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards, and last night (January 9) W Magazine invited a bunch of celebrities to get crazy in Los Angeles.
Handsome hunks like Idris Elba, Bradley Cooper and Garret Hedlund looked to be having a blast at the infamous Chateau Marmont.
Bringing San Diego's top news team Down Under, the cast of "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" went to the premiere in Sydney on Sunday (November 24).
Ron Burgundy himself ( Will Ferrell) donned a gray suit, pale blue dress shirt and blue patterned tie while Paul Rudd went blue on blue with an all-navy ensemble
Joining the masses, Kirsten Dunst joined Instagram on Tuesday (June 25), sharing pictures of her family members and her boyfriend Garrett Hedlund as her first posts.
One particular snap shows the 31-year-old actress decked out in a feathery celebration crown on New Years Eve with her man while she holds up a newspaper talking about the Oscars.
Making the most of the beautiful weather, Kirsten Dunst and Garrett Hedlund hung out in Toluca Lake, California yesterday afternoon (June 16).
The celebrity couple tried their best to ignore the paparazzi as they went about their business, grabbing a bite to eat and enjoying each other's company.

Need Load Recipe
I checked both my Lee Handbook as well as the Hogdon website under my Powder (Winchester AutoComp)
Bullet Load needed #1 ) RNFP 147 Grain Lead
Bullet Load needed #2 ) TC 120 Grain Lead
If I'm correct, all I need to determine load recipes are the Powder, Bullet Coating or material and bullet weight, so I gave more than needed.
Any ideas of where to find proper Starting Loads and DNE Loads or how to determine them on my own?
IMHO the Lyman manuals are about the best place for cast bullet loads.
Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.
He is talking about the Lymans 49th Edition reloading manual, not a website. A great reloading/reference manual than is invaluable if you plan to do reloading. You can not own too many reloading manuals so you can cross reference information to keep you safe.
lymans's 49th does not reference winchester autocomp. it's just far too new a powder, having been released in 2008. best to contact winchester for advice on specific bullet loads for autocomp.

Reload data
First of all, when you want suggestions for a reload, it is always best to explain what the caliber of ammo is for the gun. You should start the thread asking help for "9mm load suggestions" and not expect anyone to know exactly which caliber you are talking about. Some different guns use the same bullet weight....
When you use a fairly new powder, many of us long time reloaders use the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule of thumb. Once we find a load that shows good accuracy, good recoil impulse, and meets the velocity criteria we need, we usually stick with it, unless for some reason the powder is discontinued. Sometimes it takes quite a bit of experimentation to find the best load for a barrel/gun, and every barrel may not shoot the same loads as well as another barrel.
I would try to help, but have never used the powder you have on hand. You may find some load data for Win. Auto comp at: http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp
Just click on the "I Agree" terms in the box, you will need to click on the choice of manufactuer (click on the Winchester logo) then follow the prompts to get to the 9mm luger data. This site does show load data for Win Auto comp.

Chris. Send an e-mail to hodgdon with the bullet specs and I'm sure they will supply you with the load data you are seeking within 2 business days. They got back to me the same day I had a question about a certain bullet type and powder combo.
[email protected]
XD-9 * P232 * PT1911 * Stag Arms - 3L * Mossberg 500 * Kel-Tec PF9, PMR30 & RFB * AR-15 300 Blackout
Hornady LNL AP Press - RCBS Rangemaster 750 Scale - RCBS Lock-Out Die (get one it could save your gun and fingers)
From Winchester's website...
Winchester Powder is now supplied by Hodgdon. For information see the Winchester Smokeless Propellants web site developed by Hodgdon (913) 362-9455."
Looks like I'll have to wait and call on Monday.
Chris, please bear with us.
As Brother Rich alluded to, when we see post that are somewhat disjointed it makes it difficult to be concise in response.
We can only respond to what was written not what you thought you wrote or said.
We may be confused due to several points
As Rich mentioned, ALWAYS mention caliber as your bullets grain weights can be loaded into several different caliber cases and wildcats as well.
It is also helpful to list the COL you will be or wanting to be seating these bullets too.
As well as firearm these loadings will be used in.
(This can affect recommendations on charge weights and other factors in your loading)
You asked Any ideas of where to find proper Starting Loads and DNE Loads or how to determine them on my own?
If you are loading for the 9MM Luger, this data is available on the Hodgdon web site?
115 GR. LRN Win AutoComp .356" 1.100" Start 4.4grs 1002 24,800 PSI Max 5.1grs 1145 31,500 PSI
125 GR. LCN Win AutoComp .356" 1.125" Start 4.3 grs 1012 26,700 PSI Max 4.8grs 1101 32,800 PSI
The data above from the Hodgdon web site list starting and maximum charge recommendations for both the 115gr and the 125gr Lead
This data can be applied to your 120gr. lead bullet.
Here you can play it on the safe side and use the 125gr. data
You asked how to determine them (starting & max) on my own?
This is done through the workup routine.
Begin at the starting charge weight, increasing in a 10th of a grain increment toward the maximum listed charge weight.
(Make 10 and test before any increase in charge weight)
When working up the loadings, monitor for trouble signs and excessive pressure signs.
This protocol, and other techniques regarding safe loading procedures are clearly explained in ALL loading manuals.
(You DID read your loading manuals, right?)
For your AutoComp in 9MM, Hodgdon list data for the 147gr. but in a jacketed bullet (Hornady XTP)
All is not lost here, using the jacketed starting charge weight data would be safe to apply to your lead 147gr bullet.
147 GR. HDY XTP Win AutoComp .355" 1.100" Start 3.6grs. 827 27,900 PSI Max 4.0grs. 916 32,800 PSI
Another option for you would be to apply a powder or powders that have more development data available for the bullet(s) type you are using.
On the faster powder side, powders like Bullseye, Titegroup, AA No.2, AA No.5 V-V N320 and 231 will have more abundant data available.
On the slower side, powders like HS-6, Power Pistol, V-V N340, V-V N350, AA No. 7 and Blue Dot.
(The AutoComp is designed primarily for using jacketed in high performance application.)
This is why you will not see reams of published load data with the lead bullets you have using this powder.
Good Luck
To be proficient with Firearms the endeavor must be applied similarly as in Golf or Boxing, you have to put the Rounds in! - Gerk
Sorry for cutting my post short, I will comment fully on your post.. off to Church now!
(Round and Flat in the same nose...)
Truncated and Cone are "typically" interchangeable nomenclature, especially when refering to 9MM projectiles
You will have some control over the final or desired COL
As long as the firearm chamber is within the SAAMI minimum and maximum COL limits you should be able to find a comfortable COL with your bullets.
If it were me, I would try and run the 120gr between ~ 1.115" – 1.140" and the 147gr. 1.120" – 1.145" or so if the bullets shank and profile will cooperate.
Whatever gave me the most reliable cycling.
Always consider loading longer if you can, especially if they're going to be hot.
Remember, most published COL is not "cast in stone"
Good Luck

Second, how are Truncated and Cone considered interchangeable when referring to bullets when they are the exact opposite!?
and forget what you're recommending my aol to be I can worry about that after I determine how many grains of Autocomp powder I can safely start with.
Jer...I mean Gerk.. Sorry, froidian slip. JKWU ;-)
Ok, so the main bullets i'm worried about using in my gun for either fun (price consideration is a factor moreso in this field) or competition, through my 9mm Springfield XD with 5" stock barrel are... without material being considered just yet are..
Cone Nose CN
Truncated Cone TC
Round Nose Flat Point RNFP
Semi Wadcutters SWC
Hollow Point HP
Please fill in what I've left out and then I'll add my actual question.
Yes, obviously my acronym was not meant to represent an Internet Service Provider.
The fact is, I AM learning. Take what I say with a grain of salt. Nowhere did I say that the OverAll Length was not important, I was simply more concerned/curious with the Powder Charge before worrying about how much I will need to adjust my bullet seating depth to find the optimal, safest depth.
A TC is also similar in a Semi-Wadcutter in it's flat tipped style which is why I was confused.
The variations within that category are largely based on how far down toward the base of the cone the point is clipped off. The flat point part is called the meplat, and if it is large then it is generally referred to as a 'wide flat point'. WFP bullets generally are semi-wadcutter profile, with the full diameter lip rather a straight truncated cone shape.
Finally, COL means 'cartridge overall length', measured from the bottom of the case to the tip of the bullet. You also see it written as OAL or COAL, but it refers to the same thing. It is important in determining proper length for reliable feeding from magazines (box, tubular, and detachable).

Round Nose.. Sorry, as a beginner Reloader I'm still getting the hang of names and Acronyms for all these bullets.
But what you just said doesn't explain to me how a "flat point" is interchangeable with a non-flat point. ?
Bullet weights and profiles
When using cast lead bullets, the same weight of the bullet will allow the same powder charge. The overall seating depth may change due to the difference in the bullet profile. In general terms, the longer the bullet, such as a Lead Round Nose, the deeper it will seat into the case. If the bullet profile is a flat point with a shorter bullet profile, it may not seat as deep in the case, and more bearing surface of the bullet may be exposed near the case mouth unless you adjust your seating die. The same is true when using JHP bullets that are the same weight compared to a LRN bullet....the JHP with a shorter profile may require adjusting the seating depth to get more bearing surface of the bullet into the case. If you have a good reloading manual, such as the Lyman 49th edition, it will show the COAL (cartridge over all length) they used when they tested that particular round with that particular bullet profile. Flat point and JHP rounds are usually reloaded with a shorter COAL.
ihmo ..
as a newbie to hand loads, it would serve best to select tried and true components for the caliber in question, as this will make finding load recipes and components easier. easier is better for newbies.
autocomp is too new a powder to be found in most load books. i would not have selected that powder for my first load attempts. yeah, hodgdon's has autocomp loads online, as they should, because winchester powder IS a hodgdon product. but how many load manuals are showing recipes for autocomp?
all that matters with bullets is what the load recipe calls for, and what can safely be substituted.
when it comes to bullets and semi-autos, all that matters to me is what bullet type i want, what bullet hardness, what bullet shape will feed best in my gun(s), what bullet mass weight that the load recipe dictates.
rnfp is simply a round nosed bullet with a flat tip - treat it like a round nose. tc bullets cross section are a combination ogive and semi wadcutter. y'all know what an lswc is, so let's cut to the chase ... given the same caliber/bullet diameter, the same mass weight, then only bullet cross section profile is different (and *perhaps* the oal seat depth for each, as there are effective seat dimension differences for bullets based on their cross section). other than that, the real question is what bullet shape/cross section will properly feed in *my* gun? there are semi's that don't like some bullet shapes ... testing is in order.
and, always verify a dummy round with a good plunk test.
all of the above isn't rocket science, it's mostly just common sense.

Brother Chris, relax, this is part of getting started
Finding out what you don't know, BUT, what you NEED to know.
Don't take it personal when we try and explain facts and terminology that you do not understand yet.
You need to know these basic things and the folks here on the Forum can help you.
Most good manuals explain these terms and ALL of them use this nomenclature and jargon as a standard "language" in Handloading.
(This is our language; this is how we speak to each other.)
Many also have a "glossary" in the back to explain what the terms mean.
We all understand you just want it to go bang right now, but you need to understand a minimal amount of this material to avoid loading problems in the least, and harming yourself and or your firearm in the worst.
YouTube is great for just monkey see, monkey do ****.
But for you to be proficient in a safe and productive way in this process you are going to have to "read" the Handloading manual(s) and understand what the terms mean, and how to "apply" them.
As you can see from my example above, different manufactures and companies call these "trapezoidal" shaped projectiles different names or a "combination" of names based on the same basic trapezoidal shape.
Sometimes this can be "regional" as in what part of the country you are in.
Kina like when you are down south asking for directions and everything is either "up the road" or "down the road" (If you know what I mean)
People and companies refer to this trapezoidal shape in various ways, they are ALL correct in reference.
Definition of a Trapezoid
A quadrilateral having only two sides parallel
A plane figure with four sides, only two of which are parallel
Definition of TRUNCATED
1: having the apex replaced by a plane section and especially by one parallel to the base <a truncated cone>
2 a: cut short: CURTAILED <a truncated schedule>
As you can see, Truncated is an expression of what form the trapezoidal shape may be in, "generally" this suggest a shorter overall length to the "cone" but not always.
Some can be shaped more like a traffic safety cone you see in the street, others may appear shorter, more "squat" in nature with the shank section of the bullet taking up more of the bullets weight (Think typical TC shaped 45ACP bullet like the ones below)
The reason this is important to you is the bullets ogive profile, overall bullet length and bullet shank section length have a direct impact on what your final Cartridge Overall Length (C.O.L) will be.
This is why I mentioned COL when I provided you load data and guidelines for loading your lead bullets using the AutoComp
Relax! You will get there, just remember in Handloading, you have to walk a bit before you can go full tilt auto, savvy?
Good Luck

A safe charge with a long OAL could become unsafe if the same bullet is seated deep. We are just trying to keep you out of trouble.

Graphic Novels: Evolution of the American Comic Book (8/22/2007)
Scott McCloud, Author and Artist, Making Comics
Rory Root, Owner, Comic Relief
Comics and graphic novels have seen a meteoric rise in popularity in the last few years. For decades, "comics" were not taken seriously by readers or critics; however, with the popularity of the work of R. Crumb and Harvey Pekar and the success of books and comics like Maus, Ghost World, Sin City and Optic Nerve, comics and graphic novels have leapt from the world of American sub-culture squarely into the world of popular and even high culture. What accounts for this change? How are graphic novels shaping American and literary culture? Come hear the industry's leaders talk about these issues and more.
This program was recorded live on August 22, 2007.

These fantastic Chobu 01 mechas were created by Japanese 3D artist Kazushi Kobayashi as relics from "a parallel 50s where the robots are the most popular transport system." I'm guessing the pilot seat in the pudendum explains a lot of that popularity.
You can buy one of these 1/12 scale models yourself if you wish for $315... assembly required.

tile free concrete/mortar shower surround
So, I have been attempting to do research on doing a polished concrete look shower surround. All I've been able to find is you CAN'T do this and you CAN'T do that and just slap some tile on it(apparently tile cures the common cold}. Well it's hard for me to subscribe to a CAN'T do philosophy when I've seen "concrete" showers, pictures of "concrete" showers, and when goggled there are plenty of companies that do "concrete" showers. From what I've been able to gather and my inclination to think outside the box, my theory on how this CAN be accomplished is as follows:
-Hardiebacker cement board attached to studs with cement board screws
-cement board mesh tape attached to seams
-seams and screws troweled with flexbond crack prevention thinset mortar
-sand thinset down smooth
-coat entire surface with Redgard crack prevention and waterproofing membrane
-trowel entire surface with flexbond thinset mortar(mixed with sakrete brown cement dye)
-screen/sand surface down as smooth as possible
-trowel Henry Feather Finish(skim coat) over thinset(mixed with brown cement dye)
-sand down as smooth as possible
-apply Miracle Sealants 511 impregnator
-apply a concrete/cement polish of some sort(Eagle gloss concrete polish or Miracle Sealants stone polish, etc}
*sidenotes: -yes, I know the difference between concrete and mortar :)
-what the manufacturers cover our *ss warranty covers is
of little concern to me:wink:
So, Ive read plenty of forums, etc... about how this CAN'T be done. I'd like to know how this CAN be done with the highest probability of success. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance :)
Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.

I think you have the backing and waterproofing figured out pretty well, but I do not think that the Henry material will make a good finish. A product closer to pool plaster would work better as a final coat, but I also think you need a couple of coats under that of a polymer modified cementious stucco, aiming for a final thickness of 1/2-5/8". Every right angle is also going to crack, so you may also consider coving them out at least 3/4".
thank you for the advice, i will definately add that to my to do list :)

With Flash, you can integrate video, text, audio, and graphics into distinctive and compelling web content, stunningly interactive and expressive user interfaces, and rich applications for the Internet.Flash is all about helping you dramatically enhance the user experience. And Flash Out of the Box is all about helping you think outside of the box to get there--first, by diving into the Flash box and then becoming intimately acquainted with every nook and cranny of it.In Flash Out of the Box, you'll follow and work with a simple box through a "day in the life" style journey. You'll study, use, abuse, and transform the box as you move through exercises that teach you the basics of Flash, and much more, in an entertaining, unforgettable, task-oriented fashion. You'll learn to animate, work with video, load external assets, draw, mask, modularize, and many other things that will be essential as you move into more advanced techniques with other books. It's just you, Flash, and the box, mastering each technique along the way and adding others in a fashion that will let you practice and learn simultaneously.Most Flash tutorials you've looked at are tool-centric, focusing on Flash's individual features and how to use them (an approach that can quickly become tedious), whereas this innovative, engaging, and motivating book is uniquely user-centric. That means it concentrates on you and what you want and need to learn. Each successive lesson anticipates and builds upon your needs, capabilities, and questions as you evolve from Flash beginner to Flash master.Written in a fun and conversational tone, the highly accessible Flash Out of the Box makes learning Flash MX 2004 intuitive, logical, and, most of all, fun.

Flash out of the Box
By Jackie McNeil
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Flash Out of the Box:
I just discovered this fabulous book, and as a new Flash student,love the style, personality, and genuinely helpful instructions saturating every page. I finished the first chapter, and learned more from that one chapter than I learned from a whole two weeks course with a live instructor! God led me to this book!I can't wait to complete all the exercises, and will write another review when I finish. Robert Hoekman, Jr. you are a Godsend! Your charming personality jumps out from every page, yet you're not so "off the wall silly" as in some books that try so hard to be humorous, they forget the purpose of instructing!!! Thanks for this most appealing, inviting and truly helpful book.

Great Introduction to Flash from a design perspective
By Mark Jonkman
Robert Hoekman Jr. does a fantastic job of covering the topic of designing and working in the Flash authoring environment. His approach to the subject breaks away from the standard dry computer book style of being a brain dump of information. Robert walks you through the drawing tools and techniques in an easy to follow and often humourous fashion. The excercises presented are fairly short but teach a great deal. I'm a programmer/analyst not so much a designer/artist, so while I've used Flash a great deal over the past number of years, I really only know it well from a programming perspective. When I was asked to be a beta reader/technical reviewer for the book I wasn't sure what to expect. I was immediately captivated by Robert's style and humour. Robert begins by assuming a limited knowledge of Flash and introduces the tools, concepts and methodologies quickly and clearly. Each chapter and excercise building upon the previous ones in a cohesive fashion. At the end of the day, the reader comes away with a solid well rounded perspective on designing with Flash. I think this book is an excellent introduction to designing in Flash. It is not a programming manual, it does not cover every single technique available to designers and artists. What it does is introduce and familiarize the reader with the Flash IDE, tools and design concepts as well as how to get the most out of Flash from the start. If your new to Flash or new to the art/design side of Flash then this is definitely the book for you and will serve you well and as such I would highly recommend this book to you.

Data Sense: Craig sales tax collections poised for continued growth throughout 2013
May 14, 2013
By the numbers
City of Craig sales tax data
■ 2013 first-quarter retail sales: $36,206,587
■ Sales tax rate: 2.25 percent
■ 2013 first-quarter sales tax collections: $814,648
■ Change compared with 2012 first-quarter sales tax collections: 9.9 percent
■ Portion of annual sales tax collections typically collected in first quarter: about 22 percent
■ Forecast total 2013 sales tax collections: $3,756,162
■ Actual 2012 sales tax collections: $3,514,431
■ Change from 2013 forecast compared with 2012 actual: 6.9 percent
■ 2013 sales tax collections forecast in budget: $3,437,000
■ Forecast 2013 sales tax difference from budget: $318,462
Source: City of Craig, Yampa Valley Data Partners
It's amazing how much information we can extract from small bits of data. Take the sales tax collection data recently released by the city of Craig. Although we have only three months of sales tax data for 2013, the data for the first quarter actually give us a pretty good idea of how collections are likely to shape up for the rest of the year because of the predictable monthly pattern in sales tax collections. The data tell us that total 2013 sales tax collections are likely to be well above 2012.
Because the Craig budget planned for sales tax decreases in 2013, if 2013 tax collections exceed 2012 collections, the general fund will have more sales tax revenue by year-end than expected. This also means that retail sales in Craig will be higher than expected this year. It will be interesting to see when sales tax levels return to the towering heights experienced during the 2008 peak, when sales tax revenues reached $3.7 million.
According to the city of Craig, sales tax collections in March 2013 were about $297,000. This value represents an increase of $53,000 relative to collections in March 2012. This brings year-to-date sales tax collections to $814,648 and represents a 9.9 percent year-over-year increase. Will this growth rate hold up for the remainder of the year?
Because we know the historical pattern of monthly sales tax collections in Craig, we can make a pretty good guess. It turns that out since 2001, first-quarter sales tax collections in Craig have accounted for an average of about 22 percent of total annual collections. Using this information, we can simply divide 2013 first-quarter sales tax collections by 22 percent in order to produce a reasonable forecast of the 2013 total. When we do this, we arrive at a 2013 annual sales tax collections forecast of $3.76 million. This figure represents a 6.9 percent increase from 2012 sale tax collections and indicates that year-end sales tax collections are likely to be about $318,000 greater than expected in the 2013 budget.
Of course, we know this prediction will not be entirely accurate because no one knows exactly what the rest of 2013 has in store. However, it does represent a best estimate given the information that is available to us today. And when it comes to 2013 sales tax collections and retail sales, the best available information paints a positive picture for the remainder of the year.

Glutton Up
OK, lets break it down, because a ticket to anything costing 100 bucks seems like too much at this point but, somehow, paying that to go to a street festival dealing in nothing but food and booze at least tempts us to consider going. Well, actually, we will be there. If you do happen to make it to Las Olas Boulevard, the street for richies and their expensive art, meals, and clothes, were asking you to find us. When you ask yourself: What is over yonder there roped off? I smell cupcakes!, youve found our New Times Cupcake Battle. Its hosted by our food blog, CleanPlateCharlie.com. You, along with our judges, will get to eat mini cupcakes; your vote will count toward the Fan Favorite.
But there are a few ways wed go about it, if we paid to enter the Las Olas Food & Wine Fest. If youre tossing over 100 rolled-up singles to purchase a ticket, youre buying yourself a night of gluttony. Congratulations! As a glutton, dont count calories; dont count drinks. From 7:30 to 10 p.m., devour everything in sight. You must eat treats from all of the 60 South Florida restaurants thatll be present. You must hit up the Bombay Sapphire Lounge, the 45 tables of wine and microbrew, and the wine bars at both major intersections. There was once a time that all the guilt-free convincing one needed was to know it went to charity. Well, that still holds true: Your dough benefits the American Lung Association in Florida. There will also be live music. It all happens on Las Olas Boulevard in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Call 954-524-4657, or visit lasolaswineandfood.com.

I'm a big fan right now; I have no complaints. The stress was taken out of my job in knowing that my board members had easy access to the material just by syncing their Board books…..so much simpler than uploading to our internal SharePoint site and then having the Board members have trouble accessing our internal system.
Carol Dean, Senior Executive Assistant

At Rothbury, we take pride in our profession and in delivering professional services. Diligent understood our business from the outset, and have provided us with concierge service and support at all times, along with an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

Diligent Boards has just brought the Board management process into the 21st century.
Doug Thompson, Executive Director
Rothbury Insurance Brokers
After careful consideration, we selected Diligent Boards in April 2014 as our vehicle to distribute Committee and Board meeting material to our Directors. We found the Diligent Boards Staff to be well versed, courteous and informative about their product during training sessions and they remain available to provide assistance after normal business hours. The product is very user friendly and offers various options on how to load your material into a secured environment. Our meeting material recipients have indicated that it is easy to access the material for viewing and/or printing. Overall, we are very pleased with the product.

"This invitation turned out beautifully. I have never ordered from Tiny Prints but have ordered from other venders like Minted and Paper Source previously. I have to say these cards were less expensive, arrived quicker, and the paper quality is better/thicker. I was able to add pictures to the back of the card without being charged extra like other venders. Designing the card was simple and there was little adjusting I needed to do to the layout. The coloring of the invitation is even better in person. I am very impressed and happy with how they turned out. Don't hesitate to order."
"My invitations were needed as a rush order and Tiny Prints did not disappoint. The package actually arrived a day earlier than I was promised! I also loved being able to upload a handful of photos of my little one for her 1st birthday invitation. The design I chose was simple and uncluttered which let pics of my baby be the main focus. I've received many comments about how cute the invitations are! I added pics from when my LO was 2 months, 4 months, and 11 months. Family and friends enjoyed seeing how much she had grown in a year."
"I always order cards from tiny print for most of my events. From baby shower to first birthdays. And once again I am impressed and so were by guests. Everyone always wants to know how and where I did my cards and I never hesitate to say Tiny Prints! I love this first birthday card I did the same photo on the front him my son in a crown it came out perfect! Thanks again tiny prints."
"This card work perfectly for my baby's 1st birthday and went well with the theme - The Masters. The colors just pop out and you can get playful with the photos you add. It had the right amount of colors, contrast and creativeness. The real product surprised me by how great it turned out."
"I absolutely LOVED these invitations! I was so impressed with the quality of the paper and image color/clarity. They were so simple but as they say, "less is more!" These were so PERFECT for my baby's Western Themed Birthday Party. This was my first time ordering from Tiny Pints and I will definitely be a returning customer!"
