DescriptionA World War 2 strategy game covering the war on the eastern front from 1941 to 1945. Game-scale is set to corps level (Russian corps-level units are army sized). Both, Russian and German, sides can be played. The player has full control over all aspects of the war including production of war material. The forces of both side are simulated into detail and you can review your divisions up to squad/tank level. There are several different starting points available, for example 22 Jun 1941 (Operation Barbarossa) or 5 Jul 1943 (Operation Zitadelle; Battle of Kursk). Events on other fronts (North Africa, Italy, Western Front) are also simulated and can be influenced indirectly by the player. The axis player will also have to deal with the strategic bombing campaign of allied bomber fleets.

By Peter Feinmann Login or Register to download the PDF version of this article. (386.83 kB) These are tough times for the housing industry — 15 years of solid growth followed by a nationwide contraction like we've never seen. Even though many of us experienced a dip in revenues after September 11, this recession has been far worse. Most custom builders and remodelers are down 20 percent to 30 percent, and many have cut their staffs in half. Government estimates put unemployment for the construction industry above 17 percent, and many think it will get worse before it gets better. The question is, what have we learned from this recession? We've had to make many difficult choices during the slowdown, but will those choices improve our companies as we move ahead?I know that I picked up bad habits during the boom years, and now I'm having to unlearn them. My company has had to change, and the process has not been pleasant. In 2007 I gave a talk at the JLC Live conference; titled "Growing Your Business Beyond Yourself," it focused on how we could continue to grow our businesses by developing our staffs...

Subject: Re: ADCOCK/ANDERSON families
Date: Wed, 09 Sep 1998 07:56:55 -0500
Don't think this is my line at all. My ggrandmother was Emily Anderson
Anderson. She was married to Bud Anderson. We do not know if Bud was
his real name or a nick name and have not been able to find proof of
marriage. It gets worse. Granny lived to be over 104 years of age at
the time of her death in 1942, yet had never drawn an old age pension
because she could not prove her age...the family bible was "with someone
in the west" and she had no one alive that could prove her age,
eventhough her son had proven his at 72 at the time she applied for the
pension. Her pension application is under the name Emily. Her death
certificate and funeral were under the name (at least what we could make
out as POSSIBLE name) Matildan Anderson. She was born in 1837 in Mud
Camp, KY which is now part of Monroe County, but was Cumberland County
then. Under the name of Emily for the time period, she had to be the
daughter of James C. Anderson and his wife Johnny Cozzart. Yet, on
later census showing her living with her son, Joseph Anderson, the year
of her birth more reflects the Emily Anderson born to Thomas Jefferson
and Caroline Anderson, so there is some question here. To top it all
off, the names Emily, Thomas Jefferson, and others repeat frequently
amongst these families. Since Clay County is just over the line from
Monroe County, I was hoping there might be a connection there I could
follow from Mud Camp.
Emily was interviewed by the Louisville Courier in 1941 and discusses
"going with" a union soldier and her father making her break up with
him. She discusses going west in a covered wagon, but returning because
the neighbors were too far apart and they didn't make their fortune, and
she discusses running a hotel in Mud Camp for all the preachers and
traveling salesmen that came through the area, yet we find no other
proof of her.
I have been told by someone on the net, though not proven, that Bud was
actually William C. Anderson. The William C. Andersons I have found
were a brother, a nephew, or an uncle to Emily and therefore that does
not fit either.
Emily and Bud had: 1) Joseph, 2) Josephine (my line) who married David
Taylor, 3) Julius who moved to California and built sets for the movie
studios, 4) Robert who was married twice (the second time to a Native
American)and lived last in Oklahoma, 5) Tanny who married first and
Orten and second Bennie Tooley and died a day after childbirth. These
are not necessarily in order of birth. The 1900 Census (the one showing
her living with Joe) says she had 7 children, five of them were living
at the time of the census, but I have no other names at this time. This
of course, is also the census that gives her age as that of the Emily
born to Thomas Jefferson and Caroline Anderson.
To further complicate things, my mother remembers HER mother talking
about Uncle Tom Jeff, presumably a brother to her mother....SEE MY
I know it probably doesn't fit your line, but would you check your data
base for me?

Every Stand Up! Records products come with a FREE Instant Digital Download of "Bits & Beats" mixed by our very own DJ Nikoless (Kevin Beacham)!
Hannibal Buress is one of the silliest, smartest, and most distinctive voices in comedy. And those who know that Stand Up! Records cut our teeth on comics like Patton Oswalt, Doug Stanhope, and Maria Bamford, know we don't say that lightly. No, Buress is the real deal. A Chicago native, Saturday Night Live writer, and one of the few black men to make it big in Heeb Magazine, Buress has a peerless deadpan delivery, brilliant timing, and a knack for the nonsequitur. He's got a yen to punt a pigeon, but the street smarts to know the papers are just gonna run with ''Black Dudes Kicking Pigeons!'' the next day. He leans when he texts so it'll come out italic. He daydreams about strangling guys who ask ''Is your name really Hannibal? Like that's on your birth certificate? Like, your parents call you Hannibal?'' just to find out if they'll squawk Are you choking me? With your hands? Are you trying to restrict the flow of oxygen to my brain?'' He single-handedly wrote a jingle for Plan B and called it ''Zygote Killers.'' And yes, Hannibal Buress likes burritos more than Jesus. Because steak burritos are delicious. And they're real. New York Magazine recently named Buress one of their top ten ''Comics to Watch,'' but we think you're gonna want to listen to his first stand-up CD, ''My Name is Hannibal,'' out now from Stand Up! Records, home of fine comedy. And pigeon-kickers.
"If Steven Wright, Mos Def and Dave Chappelle had a baby, that would be disgusting, but it would sound like Hannibal Buress. The funniest young comic I've seen in years." - Chris Rock

Austrian Economics vs Fed's Attempt to Revive Housing
The field of Economics is full of rules of thumb that have been developed from past historical relationships. One of the most basic is that lower interest rates can create an economic recovery by spurring consumers to borrow and spend. Since the ascendancy of Keynesian economics, this and federal deficit spending have been the "go to" monetary and fiscal policies to counter any economic downturn. However, the current recession is defying the old rules of thumb as mind-boggling fiscal deficits and record low interest rates fail to translate into a sustainable recovery. The question du jour is "What's going on?"
As Gainesville Coins recently pointed out in "Is Keynesian Economic Flawed? Austrian Economics Examined" there could be a fundamental flaw with modern economic theory in that it accepts the notion that individual actions can be modeled. This idea is rejected by the Austrian School of Economics which sees individual tastes and decisions as too random to be modeled.
This basic distinction between Keynesian economics and the Austrian School of Economics certainly helps explain why the U.S. housing market continues to decline despite record monetary easing and fiscal policy spending. Some basic extrapolation is required to explain why potential homeowners remain on the sidelines. However, one thing is clear, the basic rule of thumb that decreasing mortgage rates will lift the housing market is broken.
Individuals Have Permanently Altered Their Views on Home Ownership
It has been a commonly held belief that home ownership was part of the "American Dream." Since the depths of the Great Depression in the 1930's, this notion has rewarded home owners as real estate prices rose year after year. Unfortunately, the housing bubble that burst in 2008 was preceded by some of the most extreme year over year gains in home prices ever. Backing this rise was a mountain of easy to obtain mortgage financing.
Four years have passed since the bubble burst. During this time, trillions of dollars in housing related debt have been written off, and over 25% of all mortgage holders owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth. This has series implications for housing, the banking sector, and the broader economy.
- Home owners who owe more than their property is worth have lower geographic mobility.
- Further declines in home prices will increase pressure on bank balance sheets.
- The lack of any housing recovery impedes any economic growth.
Potential home owners see the current housing situation, and realize that despite the rising affordability of owning a house, the outlook for housing remains dim. The possibility of purchasing a home with 20% down and 80% financing is no longer a sure bet to accumulate wealth, and given the exceptional measures by the Federal Reserve, could be a losing proposition if the Fed is wrong, and their rule of thumb proves ineffective.
Fed Actions Could Have Forever Forestalled a Sustainable Housing Recovery Indefinitely
Austrian economic thought would have seen the Federal Reserve's response to the housing collapse as counter-productive (indeed, under Austrian economics, the housing market bubble likely would never had occurred). Instead of stepping in to prevent an inevitable correction, Austrian economic thought would have seen it necessary to let the many years of "malinvestment" to work itself out of the system. Had a true housing market bottom been found, those economic actors with the foresight to avoid the meltdown would be well placed to invest in housing. Unfortunately, the Federal Reserve would like the world to gloss over the massive "malinvestment" represented by the housing bubble. As the Austrian School of Economics points out, individuals can change their mind, and they clearly have with regards to housing, something the Federal Reserve and other Keynesian adherents don't appreciate.
Some points that Keynesian "rule of thumbers" might not realize is that:
- Potential homeowners see the wave of foreclosures that have yet to hit the market and refuse to purchase.
- Potential homeowners understand that home affordability is currently artificially inflated thanks to monetary and fiscal policy.
- Perhaps less quantifiable, it is likely that the average potential homeowner is discouraged from taking a $100,000 - $150,000 mortgage as aversion to debt has increased in the wake of the 2008 meltdown.
From a Precious Metals Perspective
When looking at the current housing market, precious metal investors are no doubt shaking their head at the extraordinary measures being taken to prevent any further fall in the housing market. While the Federal Reserve continues to maintain that their monetary policy over the years had nothing to do with the housing bubble, they are clearly working hard to keep property prices elevated well above where they would be in a true "free market."
The possibility that the Federal Reserve and the Federal Government will continue to rely on Keynesian economic theory to counter any economic blip is clearly a motivation for many to purchase "safe" hard assets, like gold and silver, that will stand up to the never ending money printing by officials in government. This strategy has worked well as gold has risen from just under $800 per ounce in the depths of the 2008 sell-off, to over $1,600 today. Silver has performed even better, rising from just under $10 per troy ounce in 2008, to over $32.00 per troy ounce today.
Take Advantage
Precious metals are seen as a hedge against easy monetary policy and government deficits and debt. Gainesville Coins is offering the 100 oz Silver Bar from Ohio Precious Metals at as low as $0.89 over spot silver. Gold bullion investors can purchase the 1 oz PAMP Suisse/Credit Suisse gold bar at as low as $21.99 over spot gold.

French telecoms regulator ARCEP has introduced rules allowing Bouygues Telecom, the country's third-biggest operator, to use its 1800MHz spectrum to provide 4G services.
Until now, the spectrum has been reserved for use with much older, 2G services, but the ARCEP decision means Bouygues (Paris, France) will be able to introduce LTE technology in the 1800MHz band from October 1 this year.
It will, however, be forced to relinquish some of its 1800MHz holdings so it does not gain an unfair advantage over its rivals.
By October 1, ARCEP must reduce its 1800MHz holdings from 2x26.6MHz to 2x23.8MHz – the same quantity held by France Telecom (Paris, France) and SFR (Paris, France), the country's two biggest operators, in metropolitan areas – and it will not be allowed to own more than 2x20MHz from 25 May 2016.
Despite these measures, France Telecom and SFR have reacted angrily to the announcement, arguing that Bouygues Telecom will have the edge in France's 4G market as a result of the new regulations.
They also insist that freeing up 1800MHz spectrum in this way has an impact on the value of the 800MHz and 2.6GHz spectrum they recently paid to use.
France Telecom and SFR can apply to use their own 1800MHz holdings for 4G services, as ARCEP has made clear, but they appear to believe the process of 'refarming' would be much more difficult for them than for Bouygues because of their heavier reliance on the spectrum.
Bouygues now has just one month to notify ARCEP of its intention to proceed with 1800MHz refarming and has said it will make its plans known in the next few days.
ARCEP is not the only European regulator to have relaxed earlier restrictions on the use of 1800MHz spectrum, which is emerging as an attractive option for the provision of 4G services.
In a high-profile case, the UK's Ofcom last year allowed the EE (Hatfield, UK) joint venture between France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom (Bonn, Germany) to use 1800MHz spectrum with 4G services.
In that instance, however, the liberalization took place in advance of the country's 4G auction, prompting complaints from rival operators Vodafone (Newbury, UK) and Telefonica O2 (Slough, UK) that EE would gain a valuable headstart from the move.

Published Friday, May 03, 2013
As summer approaches and the weather heats up, children are naturally drawn to water. Splashing and swimming can be great ways for kids to keep active in the warmer months. But keeping kids safe must remain a priority if you don't want your family to become part of some scary statistics.
Swimming can be a fun, relatively inexpensive and endless source of entertainment. During the hottest part of the summer, it can be hard for kids to be outdoors without some way to cool down.
But water has its dangerous side, too. Drowning is the leading cause of death among children between the age of 1 and 4 years in South Florida. And the danger does not disappear after the toddler years. Drowning is also a leading cause of death for school-age and older children as well.
A study by the Miami-Dade Health Department showed that drownings typically spike to their highest level of the year in the month of May.
"It happens so quickly, and it can happen to anybody," says Mariana Garcia, R.N., a clinical educator in the emergency department of Baptist Children's Hospital. "I think sometimes we get comfortable with water because it is all around us."
Even if you don't have your own backyard pool, your children are still at risk because South Florida has such a wide variety of water bodies — both natural and man-made. Pools pose a definite risk, but so do canals, ponds, the beach, small "kiddie" pools, and even buckets, says Peter Gorski, M.D., the Chief Health and Child Development Officer for The Children's Trust.
"The key is that there is no age at which you should trust your child to be in or near the water alone," Dr. Gorski says. "It's our responsibility to protect our children. Disaster can happen when you turn your attention away for even a minute."
The Children's Trust and other safety organizations offer these tips to keep kids safe and healthy around water all year long:
Establish rules. Teach children they should never go into any body of water without having an adult there to watch them. Begin reinforcing this lesson from a very young age, but don't relax even as children get older and develop swimming skills. "No one should ever go into the water alone," Dr. Gorski stresses.
Avoid unguarded swimming areas. Jumping into a canal may seem like a fun way to cool off to your little daredevil, but kids can quickly get into trouble with steep drop-offs, hidden obstacles, or tangled vegetation underwater. Explain your children why they are not allowed to swim in unguarded canals and ponds, even if their friends dare them to. When at the beach, select swimming areas that have lifeguards nearby.
Keep your guard up. Don't assume that inflatable and plastic pools are safe just because they are small. Children can drown in even a few inches of water. Always stay within arm's reach when children are playing in any kind of pool. Be sure to empty the pool and stow it away after each use.
Feet first. Children should never enter the water by diving in head-first because if the water is shallow this can cause serious head and neck injuries that may lead to paralysis — or worse. They should always go in feet-first to determine how deep the water is. The feet-first rule applies to backyard water games such as "slip-and-slide," as well.
Fence it off. If you have a backyard pool, install a four–sided isolation fence with self–closing and self–latching gates. This can help keep children away from the area when they aren't supposed to be swimming. If you are visiting friends or relatives who have a pool, make sure it has a barrier, or keep a very close eye on your children.
Be vigilant. There should always be an adult specifically designated to watch the children if they are playing in or near the water. Especially at family gatherings and parties, never assume someone else is keeping an eye on the kids. Others may assume the same thing, leaving the children unsupervised.
Put an adult in charge. Never leave a small child alone or in the care of another child while in the pool. The study by the Health Department found that about a third of child drownings occurred when the victim was left with another child. When a young child or inexperienced swimmer is in or around water, an adult should always be within arm's length. If you need to leave the water play area, even for a few seconds, take the children with you.
Pay attention. When watching children in the pool, you should not be involved in any other distracting activity such as socializing, reading, talking on the phone, texting, or doing outdoor chores. Even if there is a lifeguard nearby, watching your children should be your only task.
Be safe. Do not use air-filled or foam toys such as water wings, pool noodles or inner-tubes in place of supervision or life jackets. These are toys and are not designed to keep swimmers safe.
Learn CPR. In the time it might take for lifeguards or paramedics to arrive in an emergency, your CPR skills could make a difference in someone's life. Starting CPR immediately can help reduce the chance of brain damage, for example. Older children and teens should also be taught CPR, Dr. Gorski notes.
Sign up for swim lessons. Swimming lessons are available at public and community pools throughout Miami-Dade County in the summer. Lessons allow your children to start with basic skills and then move on to techniques that will make them stronger swimmers. The Miami-Dade Parks Foundation even has scholarships available. Lessons are available for tots to adults.
If your child needs to develop or improve swimming skills, you may want to consider a summer camp program that includes lessons.
Formal swimming lessons can help protect young children from drowning. However, even children who have had lessons need constant, careful adult supervision around the water.
"Lessons are OK, but kids can get into trouble even with instruction," Dr. Gorski says. "The edict that you should never take your eyes off your children around water is critical. You can never let your guard down."

Assembled: Warren, Mich.
NHTSA percentage made in the U.S.: 70% (18% in Mexico)
MSRP: $22,120 The Ram isn't the superpower it once was, but it's making a strong play for a bigger spot in the truck market. With smaller payload capacity than the F-150 and Silverado, the Ram makes up the difference in power by offering a 5.7-liter, 390-horsepower hemi model and a 350-horsepower turbodiesel with 800-pound-feet of torque. Dodge has also been tinkering with the fuel source a bit by testing a plug-in hybrid version at government and military facilities across the country. Since Chrysler bulked up the Ram in 2009, sales have jumped from more than 177,000 to 245,000 last year. That's still nowhere close to the 450,000 sold in 2003, but it takes some power to pull those numbers up.

Alaska Newbie has a Blast! July 31 - August 14, 2009: Ryndam Cruise Review by fann1sh
Overall Member Rating
Alaska Newbie has a Blast! July 31 - August 14, 2009
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Vancouver
The reasons for my booking? A friend cruising for the first time, and an irresistible price. The same cruise and cabin on Ryndam in 2010 would cost three times what I paid. Put another way: I paid less to stay aboard for 14 days than my friend did for 7 days cruising and a flight from Anchorage. HAL gets a 5+ star rating for value.
My pre-cruise stay at Fairmont Vancouver Waterfront was booked through HAL. The room was pleasant. Baggage was picked up from inside the room, and delivered directly to my ship cabin. However, there were long hotel check in lines, and fumbled reservations for other travelers. Compared to my post cruise stay at the Pan Pacific Vancouver (the two hotels More are across the street from each other) Fairmont management performed like a bad comedy team.
Embarkation was silky smooth. Cabins were available at 2:15, a bit later than usual for HAL. As noted by another reviewer, departure was delayed for latecomers stuck on a HAL bus in traffic. Vancouver is gearing up for the 2010 Winter Olympics, and road repair often equals road removal. Kudos to Captain Mark Rowden for a sensible decision that didn't inconvenience other passengers. (Day 2 was a sea day, and time sensitive passage through Seymour Narrows appeared to be unaffected.)
Ryndam was built in 1994, refurbished in 2004, and is scheduled for dry dock in early 2010. My cabin didn't show any need for that dry dock, even in the bathroom. Wost sign of wear? Caulk around the shower drain. Cabin 354 was the same size as nearby outside cabins, but with a shower instead of bathtub. This was NOT a handicapped cabin, as I booked before my injury. Happily, I managed without the wheelchair most of the time, and it folded to fit between the foot of the bed and the sofa. My cabin door was 28 steps from the wrap around promenade deck, "the biggest balcony on the ship". I didn't have any of the lovely perks I was used to in a suite: a refrigerator, free laundry service, a concierge, etc., etc. However, the service and quality of cruise I experienced was absolutely no different!
I've read negative Ryndam reviews, and didn't experience any of the problems described: no bad smells anywhere, no Code Red (ship was immaculate), no equipment breakdowns. Wear and tear in the public rooms seemed pretty minor and normal to me. Air conditioning cooled my cabin to 68F/20C. One fellow passenger announced loudly on a shore excursion, "Royal Caribbean has much better ships!" For people who like bigger and newer, that's probably true. However, Ryndam's 1250 passenger size is very walkable...er, make that "limpable" for this cruise.
I loved the ship's terrific library, and checked out a couple brand new hardbacks I'd been planning to buy. Daily team trivia is a riot - sometimes, almost literally. Some people play for blood, not just bragging rights and "dam" ship's mugs.
I consider all mainstream cruise meals to be superior banquet food. One dinner was so-so, several were excellent, and the rest met my expectations. Special kudos to the Pinnacle specialty restaurant. Here, the food met the superior standards of good restaurants ashore, with service second to none.
In fact, service everywhere could hardly have been better. My room steward was invisible, but my cabin always immaculate. Wait staff at main seating (8 p.m.) in the dining room knew my preferences after the first night. My wine steward appeared promptly every night. I tend to avoid the Lido buffet, but had lots of help when I needed it to juggle drinks and food without a tray. HAL's smiling Filipino and Indonesian staff are always friendly, but several senior staff also went above and beyond. At a private "question and answer" session, Hotel Manager Cees Tesselaar fielded some difficult questions with candour, and promised to pass all comments on to head office in Seattle.
I was lucky to return to ports on the second leg of my trip, as the weather gave a few unwelcome surprises. A complete Alaska newbie, I would have been disappointed if I'd missed out on some things I got a second chance at. Week 1 in Ketchikan, my "cruise virgin" friend was determined to buy out the shops in her first ever port of call, and I let her drag me with her. Week 2, I made time for an incredible visit to Misty Fjords. Forest fires made me cancel a car rental/scenic driving in Haines/Skagway for week 1. (It's hard to view scenery with smoke so heavy you can't see 15 feet in front of you!) A crystal clear day and train ride on the White Pass and Yukon Railway in Week 2 made up for it. Scenic cruising of Hubbard Glacier was almost fogged out in week 1, but perfect in week 2. It was hot, clear and sunny in Juneau in week 1, with great views from the top of Mount Roberts. Week 2 found the city in more typical mist and rain - but just fine for a visit to Mendenhall Glacier. And I must be one of the few cruisers to visit charming Sitka twice in one week, and not get rained on a single drop!
I don't normally book ship's own excursions. However, a couple of my private excursion plans fell through. Allen Marine provided excellent catamaran tours for the ship in Juneau and Ketchikan, at prices very similar to private excursions. Their larger boats aren't for everyone. However, I was lucky to experience the best whale watch of the season in Juneau (orcas plus humpbacks, full breaches by both, plus bubble net feeding!)
I often prefer a visit to the piano bar, or chatting with my cruise companions in the lounge, to other late night entertainment. However, the shows and other entertainment I saw were fine: good comics and magicians, decent recent films in the cinema.
Disembarkation was "silent", meaning passengers were expected to leave the ship at assigned times. This worked perfectly for me. My bag was waiting in Green 3 section, exactly where it was supposed to be. A porter whizzed me to the Pan Pacific hotel elevator right in Canada Place. I'd nabbed a ridiculously cheap room on Priceline. For a modest fee, I upgraded to Pacific Club concierge level, and was allowed to check in before 9 a.m. The best hotel room, service and perks, ever.
I'd expected to have to lower my standards to cruise in an inside cabin on one of Holland America's oldest ships. Instead, I had a 5 star cruise experience. Consider me a HAL cheerleader. Less

It turns out local businesses aren't the only ones who are suffering from the recent heavy rains. Park Slope homes dealt with overflowing sewer water seeping into basements, through the floors, and even out of the sink this past weekend. CBS 2 reports:
It all started with the heavy rain Friday and Saturday, up and down the entire block of Garfield Place near Eighth Avenue. The sewage flooding continued off and on all weekend, and the curbs were left littered with wet carpets, damaged sheet rock, and bags of debris.
What's more frustrating than the foot-deep water and soggy floorboards has been the city's response, or lack thereof. Homeowners told CBS that city crews failed to find the sewer blockage at an initial inspection on Friday, and couldn't locate or solve the problem until a return visit on Sunday night– after consistent complaints.
The worry seems to be that working with century-old sewer lines makes a permanent solution difficult. Have you guys experienced any flooding problems? Any horror stories from the past?

Routing Internal/External IP addresses
I have my internal network with a server set to have an static internal IP addy (i.e. 10.0.0.100). I have routed, via firewall, a static external IP to this internal address. Is there any way to access the computer using the external IP when I am behind the firewall? Another question, if I use a DNS server onsite, will this resolve the issue of the server sitting behind the firewall and a user accessing it internally using the routed url? Thanks for the help.

November 22 - With a pair of opening-weekend losses at the University of Vermont and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), it has hardly been an auspicious start for the 2000-01 women's ice hockey team. Then again, given the youth of this year's squad - with seven first-years and two sophomores on a 16-member squad - how the Jeffs open their season will not be nearly as much of an indicator as how they finish it, since they boast one of the most talented first-year classes in the 19-team ECAC Division III league.

Throw an Outdoor Movie Night: Tips for Watching Summer Flicks Under the Stars
Why head to a crowded movie theater with overpriced snacks this summer when you can enjoy some of your favorite flicks outdoors and under the stars?
Why head to a crowded movie theater with overpriced snacks this summer when you can enjoy some of your favorite flicks outdoors and under the stars?
Summer evenings are the best time to entertain, especially when it comes to movie watch parties. As the scorching hot temps cool down to a mild warmth, you and your guests will love munching on some homemade snacks, drinking your favorite beverages and watching a fun summer flick under the stars.
As elaborate as it sounds, throwing a movie watch party outside is actually pretty simple. Take a look at some of our outdoor movie night essentials, and start picking out what movies you want to screen at your home!
1. Set Up a Movie Projector and Screen
via We Lived Happily Ever After
Finding a projector to screen the movie is key. The good news is you can usually find a local place to rent one from. Ask around to friends and colleagues; schools, universities and libraries usually rent out projectors for free or a small fee. If there is a local electronics store that rents out projectors, even better (so you can pick it up and drop it off yourself). If none of these options are possible, try renting one online from places such as ATS Rentals or Avista Rentals. You can typically pick one out that will set up right to your laptop.
If you have a flat wall, such as a brick wall or the side of a home, I suggest projecting the movie onto that. Otherwise, you can typically rent a large collapsible screen, or get creative and DIY one with a sheet or a tarp. We Lived Happily Ever After has a creative setup for their movie night screen (featured above)!
Audio is also important when screening movies; be sure that you have access to a nice stereo system that you can set up outside that will be loud enough for guests (but not too loud to disturb neighbors!)
2. Arrange Comfortable Seating
Enjoying a movie outdoors should feel more like a relaxed and laid-back casual party than an upscale event. Arrange blankets, cushions, pillows and folding chairs (in the back so as not to obstruct views) for more intimate seating. I love the idea of taking the cushions off of outdoor furniture to use as a seat on the ground, and arranging outdoor pillows. Spreading out various trays or crates is a good idea too so guests can set down their snacks and drinks.
3. Serve Themed Snacks
Krissy Winnick, Celebrations.com
Of course, popcorn is a must. If you can rent or borrow a large movie theater-style popcorn popper, definitely make that the center of attraction at the snack table. Otherwise, making big batches of stove-topped popcorn is great, too! Throw in some movie-style candy in the novelty cardboard packaging (available at most drug stores and places like Walmart and Target).
Patti Allan, Celebrations.com
Mix these fun movie theater-themed snacks with some delicious, yet easy homemade treats, such as Mini Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and S'Mores Cookies. Since you aren't limited to the concession stand snacks, now is the time to serve your favorite apps and treats!
4. Don't Forget the Drinks
When it comes to serving drinks at an outdoor party, sometimes less is more. Set out a large tin bin or basin filled with ice and some canned sodas and beer. A couple of bottles of wine is also nice, and I like the idea of mixing up big batches of punch or cocktails, and storing them in mason jars. You can place these right along with the beer cans, and label each one with the respective drink. That way, guests can help themselves and you don't have to play mixologist all night.
4. Set the Mood Lighting & Decor
via Hostess with the Mostess
Obviously you want a dark atmosphere so that the movie shows up on the projector. But to make sure people can navigate their way to the snack table (and restroom!), set up lighting to create a visible path. These tealights in paper bags, featured on Hostess with the Mostess, are a great idea. Consider hanging up lanterns and string lights from nearby trees to create mood lighting that's not too bright.
5. Keep the Bugs Away
via Nest of Posies
With so many guests in one area outside, mosquitoes and other pests are definitely going to show up uninvited. Make sure you light plenty of citronella candles. You can buy some at your local hardware store, or DIY some cute ones, like this tutorial from Nest of Posies. It's also a good idea to set out a bin with some unscented bug spray (away from the food and open flames) so people can spray themselves before sitting down.
6. Pick the Flicks
Via Pinterest
Pick out one or two movies you know you and your guests will love. Since the movie party takes a little bit of work and planning, it's best to go with the classics that your friends already enjoy. Think big summer blockbusters, your favorite comedies, black-and-white classics, old Westerns, etc. Then you can rent or stream the movies straight from your laptop.
7. Invite Guests
Finally, don't forget to send out the invitation! Send them out to your guests at least two weeks in advance. That way, you can keep track of all of the RSVPs in time for the big premiere!

A busy schedule may forestall AnnaLynne McCord from securing the Heidi role in 'The Twilight Saga's New Moon' as the '90210' beauty herself confessed during the premiere of 'Fired Up'.
Despite her enthusiasm in joining the "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" cast, AnnaLynne McCord announced that she may not star as Heidi, putting the blames on her hectic schedule. The star of TV series "90210" dropped the news to OK! Magazine, saying "I am so disappointed, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen with my schedule."
While giving heads up for the possibility of her not taking the role of the seductive human-bait trap working for the Volturi clan, the 21-year-old admitted that she is still hoping that it will eventually work out. "But keep your fingers crossed for me," so she claimed at the Los Angeles premiere of "Fired Up" on Thursday, February 19. "I hope that it still does!"
Back when AnnaLynne McCord confirmed that she is indeed in talks to star as Heidi, the actress who plays Eden Lord in "Nip/Tuck" has hinted on possible problem for the deal's hold-up. "There's some scheduling conflicts, and we're trying to work that out now," she explained at the moment. "We'll see what happens with it, but hopefully - fingers crossed - it'll smooth over and we'll be able to work it out."
"The Twilight Saga's New Moon" is the official title recently given to Stephenie Meyer's adapted "New Moon". A sequel to the hit 2008 vampire drama "Twilight", the Summit Entertainment movie will follow Bella Swan as she deals with her personal conflicts following Edward Cullen's abrupt departure. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and other original stars are expected to join the production in mid-March in Vancouver for a November 20 U.S. release.

Established 1860 (as the Michigan State Retreat), demolished 1963.
St. Joseph's Retreat in Dearborn was Michigan's first privatemental institution. It was started by theDaughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. The 1885 building appears to be of the Kirkbride design, shared with 3 other Michigan institutions. The side wings resembled the now-demolished Pontiac State Hospital side wings, and the center section resembled that of theTraverse City State Hospital main building, which still stands, but without the center section which was demolished the same year that St Joseph's Retreat was. In 1889, the first telephone installed in Dearborn wasinstalled at the Retreat. The Dearborn High School was built in the 1950s on land formerly belonging to the Retreat.

I bought dell laptop in May 2011. indec2012 the CPU unit went, it cost me €50 for repair. jan 2013 mother board went and another €50 was spent. feb 2013 it was clear the laptop still had problems. I was told I could get no assistance. I had outlived my welcome. I wrote to Dell in N.Ireland and they have chosen to not respond. Dell used to be a good company, but with the complete disregard have become absolutely the worst computer companies. Which did a survey of computer companies and Dell came BOTTOM. I shall not recommend them to any one. thanks dell for your complete disregard to your warranty period. it was still in cover, but you chose to say GO AWAY

I have always used the 100% USA cotton method, and it has been great at not creating scratches, but very efficient in removing wax/polish. After reading this forum, I decided to purchase micro-fiber towels from Detailed Image. I am impressed with these towels, however, I noticed that they have a tag stating they are made of polyester.
I guess my question is, is it the weeve (or lack of) in a towel that can scratch your clear-coat, or is it the material composition that can (cotton vs. polyester)? Also, does anyone make a 100% cotton micro-fiber towel?
Thanks in advance....
If you have any questions about the process I listed above please let me know. To help prevent watermarks from happening again I would highly recommend only working in the shade on cool paint. When washing rinse frequently so the water doesn't sit on the paint for an extended period of time. Also If you have a good layer of sealant down on the paint it helps prevent watermarks but is not a cure all. Let us know if you have any other questions.
You asked some great questions that I can at least answer in part. First and foremost just about any material can harm the finish if used with enough force. I think the goal of selecting a towel is finding the safest method. Both materials can be safe depending on a variety of factors. I don't think any particular weave (or lack of a particular weave) will cause micro scratches. Microfiber towels are specially woven to collect and gather excess product as opposed to pushing product around. This special weave uses ultra fine fibers that are supposed to be much finer than human hair. I also feel that the
microfiber towels
we sell are slightly softer than most cotton towels. Another big issue with towels in general is what is used as stitching and the seam. Many store brand towels have rough or thick edges or nylon stitching, which are more likely to cause micro scratches. The microfiber towels we sell all have paint safe stitching and edges.
Regardless of the towel you choose a quick test to see if it will harm the clear coat of your paint is to take a blank CD and wipe the towel across the surface with the same amount of pressure you'd use with the towel on your paint. If it scratches the CD then it has the potential to harm your clear coat.
Hope this helped and if you have any more questions please let me know.

The Yugoslav crew was very nice and helpful, but you had to be careful.
At the time, she was working on Yugoslav war crime trials at the International Criminal Tribunal.
Both countries accuse each other of genocide during the Yugoslav wars of the early 1990s.
Twenty years on from the Yugoslav wars, the wounds and memories are still raw.
The Yugoslav (read: Serb) army – ostensibly the side that lost the war – is vibrant and defiant.
Pribičević had told him that the whole of Istria, with Triest, should be Yugoslav.
Meanwhile Austria's Yugoslav soldiers and sailors had been continuing their patriotic work.
But as this republic was not assisted by the Yugoslav Government it only lasted for a week.
The Yugoslav public is slow to learn economy, that it should restrict the importation of luxuries.
Perhaps the Yugoslav Federation was not such a bad idea after all.

Both teams saw guards post career-high scoring efforts in their last outings. Liberty senior Rachel Hammond exploded for 25 points against High Point on Saturday. Meanwhile, Radford sophomore Taleia Moton poured in 28 markers versus Charleston Southern on Jan. 26.

Lady Flames On TV
For the sixth season in a row, the Flames Television Network (FTN) plans to broadcast all 12 home women's basketball games. FTN's regular announcing team will consist of Ray Jones on play-by-play and Jamie Hall on color.
Scouting Radford
Radford saw two of the best post players in program history--Kelli Darden and Corrie Fertitta--graduate after last season. The new-look Highlanders got off to a slow start under first-year head coach Tajama Ngongba, opening the year with a 1-10 record.
The Highlanders have enjoyed considerably more success in Big South Conference play, as Radford currently sits in third place, just one-half game behind High Point for second. Leading the way has been the team's shortest player, 5-4 sophomore guard Taleia Moton. She leads the team and ranks second in the conference with 14.4 ppg. Kymesha Alston, a 6-0 redshirt junior, has increased her production in the post. She is tallying a team-high 7.6 rpg, ranking third in the Big South.
Radford is only 2-10 playing away from home this season, but the Highlanders' pair of victories have come in their last three road contests--versus Winthrop and Presbyterian.
The Coaching Matchup
Liberty Head Coach Carey Green is in his 10th season with the Lady Flames, and has led his team to eight Big South titles. A four-time Big South Coach of the Year, Green owns a 226-75 career record and is the all-time wins leader at Liberty and among Big South women's basketball coaches. His career winning percentage (.751) ranked 10th among active NCAA Division I women's basketball coaches at the season's outset. Green is 18-3 all-time against Radford.
Tajama Ngongba is 6-12 in her first season as a collegiate head coach. An All-American player at George Washington, Ngongba served four seasons as an asisstant coach at her alma mater, prior to taking the reins at Radford during the off-season. She also spent time as an assistant at Commonwealth programs VCU and Richmond.
Liberty-Radford Series Notes
Liberty owns a slim, 25-23 lead all-time against Radford, its most common opponent in program history. The Highlanders won 20 of their first 21 meetings with the Lady Flames, before Liberty went 21-1 in the teams' next 22 encounters.
The series has become more competitive in recent years, with Liberty going 3-2 in its last five matchups with Radford.
Liberty went 3-0 against its in-state foe last season, including one of the most memorable matchups in series history. The Lady Flames and Highlanders faced off in the Big South Championship title game for the first time, March 16, 2008 at UNC Asheville's Justice Center. Liberty erased an 11-point second-half deficit to claim a dramatic, 66-65 victory. Megan Frazee recorded 26 points and 12 rebounds, but her most important play came with 0.3 seconds remaining, when the junior hit the game-winning shot from short range.
Frazee has terrorized the Highlanders throughout her career. In six meetings with Radford, Megan Frazee is averaging 23.7 ppg and 13.2 rpg, while notching five double-doubles.
Radford has struggled at the Vines Center, losing in each of its last 14 trips to Lynchburg. The Highlanders' most recent victory at Liberty came on Feb. 3, 1996, by a 73-54 count.
Fabulous in February
Liberty has won 85 of its last 90 games played during the month of February, dating back to the 1997 Big South Championship. The only teams to defeat the Lady Flames in February since then are High Point (three times), UNC Asheville (once) and Winthrop (once).
Liberty owns a 166-121 all-time mark during the year's second month, including a 66-5 record under Carey Green. The Lady Flames went 6-1 in February last season and have six February contests on the schedule in 2008-09.
New Year's Resolution
Liberty owns a 155-105 all-time record in January contests, after completing its second consecutive unbeaten January (8-0). Head coach Carey Green has gone 71-8 with the Lady Flames during the year's opening month.
The Lady Flames have won 37 straight home games during the month of January. Liberty has not lost a January contest at the Vines Center since Jan. 13, 2000, when Elon dealt the Lady Flames a 77-72 setback.
Liberty has won 17 consecutive January contests overall, since a 64-62 overtime loss at High Point on Jan. 20, 2007.
Recipe For Success
Liberty has won 10 consecutive games, and the following are a few keys the Lady Flames' success.
-- All 10 opponents have been held below 60 points.
-- All 10 opponents have shot below 40 percent from the field.
-- Liberty has outrebounded nine of 10 opponents by 11 boards or more.
-- Megan Frazee has averaged 18.0 ppg and 9.5 rpg, since returning from an ankle injury which sidelined her for eight games.
-- Liberty is shooting 37.1 percent from three-point range and averaging 4.6 triples per contest, as compared with 27.5 percent and 2.8 triples per game before the streak.
-- The Lady Flames' starting backcourt of Amber Mays and Rachel Hammond has posted 64 assists, 43 steals and only 40 turnovers.
Long-Range Bombers
Liberty has begun to find its outside shooting touch recently, sinking 33 triples and shooting 44 percent from beyond the three-point arc in the last five games.
Leading the way are two of the most prolific three-point shooters in program history. Megan Frazee, ranked ninth on Liberty's career list with 88 triples, has hit 13 of her last 24 from downtown (54.2 percent).
Rachel Hammond, whose 67 career three-pointers tie her for 14th on the list, has connected on 15 of her last 23 three-point attempts (65.2 percent). Hammond made a career-best nine consecutive triples without a miss, between Jan. 24-31.
Hammond made five treys against High Point on Saturday, marking the first time a Lady Flame has connected on five three-pointers in a single game since Dec. 15, 2001, when Daina Staugaitiene did so at Hampton.
Competing with the Commonwealth
Liberty is 2-2 against in-state opponents this season, owning victories over Virginia Tech and Saint Paul's and losses against VCU and James Madison.
Coach Green Versus the Big South
Liberty head coach Carey Green has enjoyed considerable success versus the Big South during his first nine seasons with the Lady Flames. His teams are 143-13 against Big South opponents, including 119-12 in the regular season and 24-1 in the Big South Championship.
Green has never lost to his alma mater, Coastal Carolina (22-0), or Charleston Southern (21-0) during his time at Liberty.
First Since Feenstra
When Rachel Hammond tallied a career-high 25 points against High Point on Saturday, she became the first Liberty player not named Frazee to score 20 points in a game since March 22, 2005. That day, Katie Feenstra went for 29 points against DePaul, sending the Lady Flames into the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16.
Since then, sisters Megan and Moriah Frazee had been the only Liberty players to eclipse the 20-point plateau, prior to Hammond's effort on Saturday.
Turning Up the Heat in the Furnace
The 2008-09 campaign is the 17th season the Liberty University women's basketball team has called the Vines Center its full-time home. Liberty's first-ever contest at the Vines Center was an 86-74 loss to East Tennessee State, on Dec. 7, 1990, but the "Furnace" has served as a favorable venue for the Lady Flames over the years. Liberty is 184-51 (.783) all-time at the Vines Center, including 13-0 last season. The Lady Flames, 6-2 at the Vines Center in 2008-09, have 12 home games scheduled this season.
Dial Three Digits for Long Distance
The Lady Flames have been able to continue a long-standing streak, so far this season. The Lady Flames have made at least one three-pointer in a school-record 123 straight games, a run which began on Feb. 26, 2005. None of the current Lady Flames were in college when the streak started.
It took just 14 seconds for Liberty to keep the streak alive on Saturday, as Rachel Hammond nailed a triple on the game's opening possession.
Winning Streaks
The Lady Flames are currently on a 10-game winning streak, as they have not lost a game since falling at No. 19/20 Vanderbilt on Dec. 22.
The streak is the 10th longest in program history. Here is a look at the Lady Flames' longest winning streaks, eight of which have come with Carey Green as head coach.
1) 28 games (Nov. 21, 1997 - Feb. 28, 1998)
2) 22 games (Dec. 21, 2002 - March 9, 2003)
3) 19 games (Jan. 6, 2004 - March 13, 2004)
4) 14 games (Jan. 28, 2006 - March 11, 2006)
5T) 13 games (Jan. 5, 2008 - Feb. 23, 2008)
5T) 13 games (Jan. 24, 2002 - March 2, 2002)
7T) 12 games (Jan. 15, 2005 - Feb. 21, 2005)
7T) 12 games (Jan. 23, 1999 - Feb. 27, 1999)
9) 11 games (Feb. 3, 2000 - March 4, 2000)
10) 10 games (Dec. 29, 2008 - Present)
Nation's Longest Winning Streaks
Liberty has won 10 games in a row, which is tied for the sixth-longest active winning streak among NCAA Division I women's basketball games, entering Monday's action.
No. 1 Connecticut has won a nation-best 21 games in a row.
Chief Thiefs
Starting guards Amber Mays and Rachel Hammond have been keys to Liberty's defensive efforts, as they rank fifth and seventh, respectively, on the Big South steals leaderboard.
Mays has notched 26 steals in the past seven games, including a career-high eight-steal effort versus East Tennessee State on Jan. 13. Her eight steals were the most by a Lady Flame since Sharon Wilkerson recorded eight thefts at High Point on Feb. 21, 2000. Mays tied for the fifth-most steals in a single game in Liberty history.
Four more steals will make Mays the first Liberty player since Sharon Wilkerson in 1999-2000 to record 50 steals in a season.
Meanwhile, Hammond has been a consistent disruptive force on defense this season, tallying multiple steals in 12 of the first 20 games. As a result, the senior has already established a career high with 36 steals.
Miss Consistency
Megan Frazee has scored in double figures in each of her last 56 games, dating back to Jan. 27, 2007. It is the longest such streak of her career and the longest by a Liberty player since Elena Kisseleva tallied 10 or more points in 62 straight contests, spanning the 1996-97, 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons.
Clamping Down on Defense
The Lady Flames have held 71 consecutive opponents under 50 percent field goal shooting. The last Liberty foe to sink more than half of its field goal attempts was Marist, at the Maryland Terrapin Classic on Dec. 29, 2006.
Liberty is off to a good start defensively in 2008-09. Fifteen of the Lady Flames' first 20 opponents, including the last 10 in a row, have shot below 40 percent from the floor. Liberty leads the Big South and ranks No. 26 nationally with a .347 opponents field goal percentage.
The Lady Flames are 13-2 this season when their opponents shoot under 40 percent from the field, but 0-5 when their foes make at least 40 percent of their field goal tries.
More Defensive Highlights
Liberty is allowing its opponents to score only 54.2 ppg this season. That figure ranks No. 23 in the nation and would set a program record, if the season ended today. The 2001-02 Lady Flames yielded a program record-low 54.7 ppg.
Climbing the Big South Rebounding Ladder
Megan Frazee's 14 rebounds versus High Point on Saturday pushed her into ninth place on the Big South's career rebounding list, with 819 boards.
Frazee will pass Jennifer Grant of Radford, a 2000 graduate, for eighth place with 13 more rebounds.
Cranking Up the Defense
Liberty has played exceptional defense during its current 10-game winning streak. The Lady Flames have held North Carolina A&T, Virginia Tech, Gardner-Webb, Coastal Carolina and High Point all to season-low point totals during the stretch. Liberty's 10 foes have scored only 47.8 ppg against Liberty and have combined to shoot just 31.9 percent from the field.
Winning the Battle of the Boards
The Lady Flames have outrebounded 16 teams in their first 20 games of the season. Only three teams (Western Carolina, James Madison and Winthrop) have won the rebounding battle against Liberty this season, as the Lady Flames lead the Big South Conference with a +10.4 rebounding margin.
Liberty, which currently ranks No. 8 nationally for rebounding margin, has finished in the top five nationally in the category for five consecutive seasons. The Lady Flames led the nation in rebounding margin during both the 2003-04 and 2004-05 campaigns.
Less Than a Point Per Minute
Liberty held High Point to 14 first-half points on Saturday, marking the fifth time this season, the Lady Flames have limited their opponent to fewer than 20 first-half markers. Liberty has gone on to win all five contests.

The King of Late Night, aka Johnny Carson is back as an American Masters documentary, and the timing is great. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Carson taking over NBC's The Tonight Show from Jack Paar. It's also the 20th anniversary of his retirement. Time flies, but at least we can recall great memories as we watch American Masters' Johnny Carson: King of Late Night, premiering Monday, May 14, at 9 p.m. on PBS.
There's a great memory I have of one of my encounters with Carson. I had the pleasure of doing a one-on-one interview with Carson many years ago. At the time he was still working out of New York, but would come to L.A. to do a couple of weeks of shows and tap into the star power in Hollywood. An intensely private person, he wasn't doing any interviews. But Hank Rieger, then head of NBC publicity, was a good friend and set up a date. So I found myself in Carson's dressing room at NBC in Burbank, just an hour or so before doing the show.
The reason Carson had ordered "no interviews" was because he was getting unwanted attention in the tabloids about his current marital problems. So, naturally being a wise guy, my first line to him when Johnny sat down was, "Hey, if you don't talk about your women problems, I won't talk about mine." I still remember the stunned look on Carson's face, and then an approving grin before we started our interview about his show — not women.
Just prior to going on the air Ed McMahon dropped by the dressing room and Johnny asked him "How was your weekend?" Ed told him about a few things, and Johnny replied, "We can talk about that to open the show." I learned there wasn't a lot of pre-planning for the banter between Carson and McMahon. They were friends and the funny conversations came naturally.
So now everyone who tunes in American Masters will get a glimpse of what Johnny Carson was really like. A lot of celebrities and behind the scenes folks, and even an ex-wife will be talking about him. Susan Lacy, creator and executive producer of American Masters, revealed that Carson was "a famously private man, naturally funny and actually awkward when the cameras weren't around. Over his career he spoke to over 22,000 guests, but didn't quite know what to say when he was at a private party."
On the show Angie Dickinson and Drew Carey will talk about their personal experiences of being guests playing off of Carson. At a PBS interview session Carey told us, "He seemed genuinely nice to everybody and interested in what they had to say. Always super polite, never went overboard. You never saw him be rude or flippant or just not care. He was more a kid from Nebraska than anything I saw on TV."
Dickinson agreed with Carey and said, "That's what most people pretty much thought of him. He wasn't cocky at all. As a matter of fact, as one of the most recognizable men in the world, he was very shy about it. He was more of a simple and not complicated person. He was basically very much a Midwest man."
A frequent guest on the show and a personal friend, Angie noted that Johnny enjoyed getting together with friends for dinner. "He enjoyed people in a small situation. And he'd rather go sailing on his boat, or play tennis, during his time off."
She added, "I think we all agree that the last show that he did, that was pure Johnny, and that's why he started to tear up. He had said it all, done it all, and he really was finished. You never heard from him professionally after that."
That's what Johnny wanted, explained Peter Jones, the Emmy-winning filmmaker who was dedicated to getting the documentary made. Jones reported, "Some people were saying, 'Well, he'll come back when he finds the right project.' But he really was done after the last show. He didn't need any more adulation. He was offered so many awards and only accepted a few. He didn't cultivate any kind of a public image. He made one appearance on The David Letterman Show just a year after he retired. He just delivered a Top 10 list, received a standing ovation, walked off the stage, and that was the last time he was ever on television."
Now all we have are the memories and this great documentary about a guy who really was an "American Master" of late night.
