Some years ago, when I was stuck at a 440 pound Bench Press, I searched for exercises that would boost my power on the Bench Press. I noticed that for some, it was various triceps exercises, however no one had a one size fits all exercise. In my case, I did heavy dips with up to a 150 pound dumbbell attached to my waist, then my elbows began to hurt, skull crushers ended with the same result, so for me I had to look elsewhere for a compound movement that would work more than the triceps, but would engage the chest, shoulders (anterior) front deltoid, and the triceps without placing the elbows in a position that with added weight while performing exercises, caused pain.
I settled on the Dumbbell Bench Press. The only mention of these over the years was by Dr. Ken
Leistner, where he did them also, increasing his Bench Press. The only equipment needed is a good solid bench that will not tip over as you sit on the edge getting the dumbbells in place, and returning them to the floor, and some heavy fixed dumbbells, or bars used for dumbbells, that plates up to 20 or 25 pounds can be used on.
When I mentioned Super-Heavy in the title, I worked up to 200 pound dumbbells in each hand for two reps. I trained by myself, so there was no luxury of a partner that handed the dumbbells to me. I would sit on the end of a solid bench, bend over, grab first the right dumbbell, and place it on my inner thigh, and then grab the second dumbbell, and do the same thing on the left side. Then, sit on the bench, tighten the dumbbells to my chest and with control, lay down on the bench. This is not a bodybuilding dumbbell bench press, so the palms of the hands need to face each other, and not out away from each other as in the bodybuilding movement. By holding the dumbbells palms facing each other, there is more of a stretch at the bottom, as the dumbbells come down to the sides of the chest. This converts to a powerful push off of the chest when doing Bench Presses.
I did these twice weekly, heavy on my heavy Bench press day, and moderate on my moderately
heavy Bench Press day. Repetitions were for example. 90x5, 100x5, 110x5, 120x5,5, this would be on the heavy day. Moderately heavy would be 90x5, 100x5, 110x 5,5,5
The important thing here is to find a rep range that works for you, and push toward heavier and heavier dumbbells. On this routine, my regular Bench Press went to 485 pounds in training, I then substituted Close –Grip Bench presses (able to use more weight) as my assistance movement, and went to 523 pounds in competition. One important fact not to be overlooked is, if you are increasing body-weight, expect some dramatic changes in your upper body. You may go up a size or two in shirt size. By doing this movement heavy, you will not be disappointed.

Independence Day Parade in Greeley part of family tradition (video)
July 7, 2014
Stampede mascots
Many were delighted to see the Texas longhorns back again at the Independence Day Parade after a short hiatus several years ago.
What parade-goers may not know is that among them were semi-famous longhorns that serve to represent the parade.
Bucky and Bertha, the Stampede longhorns, regularly help promote the Stampede during the year at school functions, parades and Greeley Chamber of Commerce events.
During the Stampede, they can be found at the daily parade in the park, at mutton bustin' or at the demolition derby.
Vonda Rhodes and Vicki Steiner are parade pros in the know.
For more than 30 years, the Greeley native sisters have reserved a patch of land to view the Greeley Stampede's Independence Day Parade from a shady sweet spot near Gunter Hall on the University of Northern Colorado campus.
But as thousands of families, couples and kids donning patriotic skirts, hats and bandannas flocked to 10th Avenue to view the parade on Friday morning, Rhodes and Steiner found their spot — marked with specially made stakes, red, white and blue rope, and little American flags — had been pilfered.
The pair, joined by a daughter, grandson and coworkers, found another shady spot farther north, and they said they wouldn't let the loss of their regular spot dampen their spirits this Independence Day.
"We're doing fine down here," Steiner said, her headband with two antennas covered with red, white and blue tinsel moving as she nodded her head.
The sisters, 59 and 56, have a Fourth of July kit, complete with headbands (Rhodes' had a red fabric star that protruded from the band, and Steiner's baby grandson wore one with little plastic windmills), and patriotic beads. Rhodes and Steiner said they had a smaller crowd this year because some family is out of town.

"We still set up like we're going to have 20 people," Steiner said amidst the jovial pre-parade chatter on 10th Avenue.
She said it's for the best, just in case some friends would like to join the party, who Steiner said text her to ask if she is at the parade — like it's even a question.
"Of course we are going to go," she said.
Added Rhodes, "They think it's going to change — it's not."
"We already told our kids that even if we are too old to remember, they need to drag our wheelchairs up to the parade," Rhodes laughed.
At the opposite end of the parade on 5th Street, floats, marching bands and baton twirlers scattered from their linear route and headed for home, but not before Arturo Trejo caught a couple photos on his phone.
Unlike Rhodes and Steiner, who staked out their spot for the parade on June 23, the chuckwagons and women dressed in period clothes caught Trejo by surprise.
Trejo, who is from Zacatecas, Mexico, said he has only been in Greeley for about a month. But it wasn't his first Fourth of July — a holiday Trejo said he thoroughly enjoys. Apart from enjoying a day off from work, Trejo said he planned to get together with some friends later and cook up some carne asada — some barbecue.
"It's what everybody in the U.S. does," he said with a smile.
In between the beginning and end of the parade route were throngs of patriotic people ready to catch a glimpse of beloved parade favorites such as the flyover and Texas longhorns, including the likes of Dennis and Maria Puchalski, 62 and 64, who have been coming to the parade for 29 years.
"I think we like the marching bands the best," said Dennis, who wore his annual outfit of an American flag top hat and vest. "There's not too many of them any more, but the marching bands are so traditional for the parade, that's the main thing."
"We like those the best and the politicians the least," Dennis said, tongue-in-cheek.
Meanwhile, 23-year-old Kenny Grady of Denver watched the Greeley parade for the first time as he pushed a merchandise cart with flags, umbrellas and blow-up figures.
"I like what I have seen so far," said Grady, who said he worked on Friday so he could start saving money for his son's college education.
Darlene and Ernie Mirelez of Brighton kept cool at the parade in lawn chairs under the shade of a UNC building on Friday.
In addition to the flyover of several aircraft, the Mirelezes said they look forward to celebrating their freedom and recognizing the sacrifices that were made to get it.
The Fourth of July, Darlene said, means remembering that.

PHILADELPHIA – After a stellar showing at Kenyon College's Total Performance Invitational, the University of Pennsylvania men's and women's swim teams are ranked within the top 50 Division I schools in the country. With 935.8 points, the men make the list at No. 28. The women are No. 49 with 929.4 points, right behind Alabama (48) which also has 929.4 points. Penn's current rankings are the highest in program history.
Men DI Rankings
Women DI Rankings
Rankings are compiled by scoring each team's top 27 swims in a given meet over a three-week period.
Much of the men's team success at the Total Performance Invitational came in the relays. All five of the relays' times are in the top 30, with four in the top 25. Each of the "A" teams broke pool and meet records at Kenyon and also set school records at Penn.
Men's 200 free relay: 22nd (1:20.02)
Men's 400 free relay: 25th (2:56.89)
Men's 800 free relay: 20th (6:32.64)
Men's 200 medley relay: 30th (1:28.58)
Men's 400 medley relay: 21st (3:13.43)
Individually, sophomore Chris Swanson is now ranked 13th in the 1650 free after breaking the pool and meet record at Kenyon (15:06.86). Additionally, Swanson shaved 0.63 of a second off his personal best 500 free time, the previous school record, and reset it to 4:21.19. His time also broke the pool and meet record at Kenyon and put him on the national top-time list at No. 24.
On the women's side, freshman Rochelle Dong recorded her first school record in the 50 free at the Total Performance Invitational with a time of 22.9 seconds. She then broke the pool and meet record in the 100 fly, setting a second school record at 53.74 seconds.
In addition, sophomore Lauren Church erased her school-record time (55.14) in the 100 back and established a new time at 54.76 seconds.
Penn begins its winter training and will compete again after the New Year. The Quakers will travel to New Haven, Connecticut for an Ivy tri-meet with Yale and Dartmouth on January 11.
*Note: Incarnate Word is being reclassified and will move to the Southland Conference in 2018. Its men are ranked No. 23.

This online memorial was created in loving memory of Ruth Antiero, whose life story is told throughout this memorial website. Please sign Ruth's guest book and let us know you came to visit. We will remember Ruth forever.
Mama Dibo Ruth Antiero (MAMA CHARCOAL GRILL) was born in May 1942 to Pa Henry Etim Antiero and Ma Agnes Yoe Antiero in Kumba.
EDUCATION: She attended the Government Primary school Kumba and later Kurume where she obtained her standard six Certificate.
WORKING LIFE: Armed with her standard six certificate, she secured a job with the then EMENS Textile Company Victoria (Limbe) in the mid 60s. When the company closed down, she picked another job with the Royal Exchange Insurance Company still in Victoria (Limbe) as a cashier where she worked for some years.
The experience she gained in Victoria enabled her to have the privilege to work as a cashier in the then prestigious S.C.B Bank in Kumba and Yaounde till the early 80s.
When she retired to Kumba, she decided to go private. She tried her hand in the petroleum business as manager of Mobil (Oilibiya) Buea Road. She excelled tremendously amongst male competitors. From there, she diversified when contraband petroleum products (funge) starred polluting the market. Mama Dibo Ruth Antiero shuffled between Nigeria, Cotonou and Togo coming along with cars, fabrics, jewelries etc of very high quality for sale. Side by side this activity, she ran the 1st ever snack/chicken palour "CALAO" in Kumba, a snack that hosted prestigious government officials who visited Kumba.
She will be remembered for her art in decorating funeral homes, a skill she displayed with so much flair for beauty and dexterity.
It is with a lot of nostalgia that she kept the flame of Charcoal Grill burning. This restaurant has been a hallmark of the Antiero family. When she could no longer run the restaurant due to aging complications, she leased out the facility. However, she continued to render catering services to those who solicited her expertise.
CHRISTIAN LIFE: Mama Dibo Ruth Antiero was a full-fledged Presbyterian Christian who was baptized into the faith in her early childhood. She upheld her commitment till her death. She was an ardent member of the Christian Women Fellowship (C.W.F) movement of the P.C Kumba Town.
Mama was a patroness to the C.Y.F and Sankey and Choral choir in the church. She was part of the Monday morning prayer group in the church.
POLITICAL LIFE: Mama Ruth had an active political life. She was a member of the C.P.D.M Party, militating in the women's wing and a member of GEFAC Organization. She was the president the Kumba branch. She was amongst the privileged few women in the South-West Region to present new year wishes to the first lady in the Unity Palace in Yaounde.
She was inspiring and a role model to a lot of other women who wished to do politics or business.
LIFE IN THE FAMILY: Mama was the locomotive of the Antiero family. She worked tirelessly for cohesion and harmony in the family. She didn't fail to assemble the family every beginning of the year to advice and chart the way forward over lunch. In times of crisis, she will not hesitate to consult her sister Ma Emilia Mukete for valuable advice. Mama can best be described as "a rare gem", she expressed motherhood not only to her children, but to her nieces and nephews as well. Her tender love over flowed family boundaries. She nurtured and raised other children who adopted her as their mum. She made a lot of friends, participated actively in matters concerning the Bafaw tribe. Well, mother's lifelong desire was to see us working together as a unit, always looking out for each other, walking through the walk of life united and in the ideals and principles that are espoused in the Holy Scriptures.
The entire family is deeply grieved by her demise. We pray God to give us a replacement of her kind. She is survived by 4 of her 5 children, 9 grand-children, a brother Mr. Joseph Antiero, cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws, friends and a host of others to mourn her. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

You're an avid snowboarder, shredding down a Lake Tahoe mountain, when you fall…40 feet. You wake up in the hospital, paralyzed from the shattered neck down. You're staring up at the ceiling through frightened blue eyes as a hissing machine breathes for you and the doctors tell you that you'll never walk again. That your condition is "incurable." That you might not survive the night.
You're 21 years old.
Incurable…the doctor's words loop through your otherwise neurologically damaged mind. Something inside whispers, "No. They're wrong."
Six months later, you're off of all the medications they'd prescribed—the medications that kept you addicted and out of it and disconnected from the body you're determined to heal.
"I knew it was definitely in their interests to keep me on meds," you'll one day tell a journalist, as you sit propped up in an armchair, gesturing with hands they said you'd never move, hands that now type and hold things, attached to elbows that bend and straighten, even though they were once frozen and deemed "incurable."
A year after leaving the hospital the doctors said you'd likely die in, you head to the Amazon, where you take part in over 100 ayahuasca ceremonies. The plant medicine allows you to break through your paralysis so that you can feel parts of your body you hadn't felt since the fall, parts of your body they said you'd "never" feel again—parts of your body that have been eagerly awaiting your curious attention. The plant medicine teaches you about your central nervous system, how it works, what it needs to heal and how you can heal it yourself.
You come back to the States six months later with a deeper understanding of your injury, of your path to healing, of the consciousness and the emotions that are contributing to your condition. You study yoga, breathwork, Qigong and meditation. You spend hours and hours—daily—breathing life back into your nadis, building your subtle body until it has the strength and the stamina to move your muscles, the same ones the doctors said you would never move again as they injected massive amounts of opiates into your 5'4", 21-year-old body.
You admit the path is tormenting, because in releasing the paralysis and in working so directly with the energetic bodies, you allow the consciousness and the emotions that are infusing your physiology to come to the surface, where you face them head-on, with unflinching courage.
"Healing's not easy," you tell the journalist who hands you your green juice, angling the straw so that you can lift it directly to your lips. "It takes mental strength."
"Is it worth it?" she asks.
You ponder, inhaling sharply, eyes angled upwards, toward the barrette holding your dark, shoulder-length hair off your forehead.
"Absolutely," you say, smiling that infectious smile that lights up your face, infinitely wise beyond your 28 years.
You spend a lot of time alone, working with your resentment, your anger and your blame, and connecting them to the parts of your body that are inviting acknowledgment, compassion and release. When you're not actively working with your body, your story, your emotions and your nadis, you're on your computer, galvanizing support and resources for the Spiritual Health Network that is your vision, your passion and your mission—the one that collects stories of awakening, and connects progressive practitioners with clients who are committed to taking full responsibility for their healing, and who are willing to put in the effort to recover, agonizing though it may be.
You are Teresa Schroeder. You are a force of consciousness and will and heart and tenacity that is absolutely changing the way the world thinks about health and injury and healing and awakening. You are 28 years old, and you are beautiful. You will not only walk again, you will dance and skip and leap and soar. In many ways, you already do.

I cannot find any records, so far, of a family connection to Evansville, despite a note from the Army in regards to his widow's claim for a pension: "died at home April 29/62". Perhaps he was on his way home when he died?

Michael Gove told the Andrew Marr Show this morning that he wouldn't comment on potential action by the government against the unions, saying he had no wish to "ratchet up the rhetoric" against the movement. Not least when negotiations are still going on.
That comment sits slightly uneasily against his letter to schools calling on them to keep schools open by using the "wider school community", ie parents. Read more

Carver 59 Marquis — By
Richard Thiel
— May 2003
|Meet the Carver 59 Marquis, a yacht designed to redefine a company and challenge an entire industry.
I was standing at Carver's display at the Miami International Boat Show as a couple of Italians disembarked from the new 59 Marquis. Curious what they might have to say after touring what the builder was claiming to be a true American-European hybrid, I edged closer.
"It really looks Italian," marveled one.
"It doesn't look Italian," corrected his paisano, "it is Italian."
Well, not exactly. The Venice-based marine design firm of Nuvolari and Lenard certainly gave the 59 a continental look, but it was the men and women of Pulaski, Wisconsin, who built her. Still, after my turn aboard the 59 that night and a full-day sea trial on her in Fort Lauderdale a few weeks later, I felt this boat had more in common with an Azimut or Ferretti than with another Carver. That's not to say she's their peer. Her sapele and cherry joinery and lovely, three-panel, solid-cherry doors are a huge step up from other Carvers, but the company still has a way to go before it can match the flawless, deep lacquer that routinely comes out of Italy and England.
Yet the 59 is at her heart a different Carver. She's even built differently, inspired by EU Class I standards, the most stringent classification. Her hull has a solid-glass bottom and a combination of foam and balsa cores in the hull sides. She uses what Carver calls U.S. Navy-style construction, featuring a deck that, when attached to the hull, creates a monolith that needs no structural support other than bulkheads. The separate superstructure is an aluminum grid onto which is attached the laminate. A metal flange on it mates to a steel-reinforced deck boss, where the two are married with urethane sealant and bolts. The deck itself is a combination of tubular aluminum, balsa core, and foam encapsulated in fiberglass. Windows are direct-bonded—no frames—and engine beds are engine-length U-shape steel rails bolted from the top down into tapped steel plate embedded in the stringers and also through-bolted horizontally. The shelf on which the steering quadrants attach is reinforced with carbon fiber, and bulkheads are triple-bonded to the hull and sealed at all penetrations.
Impressive? Undoubtedly, but it's what people see when they walk through the 59 that will make them wonder if they're on a Carver. Everything from the Mariner Italian Faucetry plumbing fixtures to the brushed-aluminum Olivari door hardware is upscale. Yet this is still a Carver, and that means superb space utilization. When you walk down from the main level to the accommodations level, you do so via a comfortable 2'5"-wide curved stairway that leads to a large foyer with a granite sole that has LEDs embedded in it.
Head forward and you come to the VIP, with port and starboard full-length hanging closets, 6'6" headroom, port and starboard ports, and an optional flat-panel TV that flips down from the overhead. There are plenty of high-power halogen lights—they need a dimmer—and a large en suite head with enclosed shower to starboard.
The midship master is abaft the foyer and offers two larger hanging closets, each with elegantly curved doors, plus two ports and large built-in cabinets on each side. The en suite head, like its forward mate, has a large enclosed shower.
Both staterooms are so spacious, you wonder how Carver did it on a 59-footer—until you see the third stateroom, midway between the two and to port. It has bunks and a shallow (five inches deep) closet but is so small Carver had to design a bi-fold door so you can get in and out of it. This one is definitely more comfortable for kids.

sleekblackroads - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkGoogle really gets the message sometimes. Will be such an amazing product with a few tweaks and services!!! Reply
diamondsw - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkAh yes... the constant refrain of "just wait, it'll be amazing soon!". Not to pick on Google fans - Apple fans have said the same about the AppleTV for years ("it will have apps soon, because it just has to!").
It's always best to buy based on what the product does *right now*. If it's solving an issue now, then buy it, and anything else that comes later is gravy. But if you buy something hoping it will improve later, you're more often than not throwing your money away. Reply
CynicalPhred - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkWell sorry, I don't get it... This is basically a device that you have to push content to. You need to sit there with a PC, phone or tablet, choose the content on that and then send it to the Chromecast thus needing to run that device as well. I want something a little more independent. Some thing that can pull media from my various media servers or from the internet and which does that without forcing me to directly run a second device to do it. Reply
Guspaz - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkHave you ever tried using Netflix with a TV remote? Being able to browse and select content to play with an iPad or iPhone and have it play on the TV without any effort sounds fantastic. That's a much better experience than using Netflix "independently". Reply
Samus - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkexactly. death to the tv remote. most people always have their phones on them, anyway, so why wouldn't you want a larger, more responsive 4-5" screen to use over a T9 remote (or heaven forbid one of those awful Samsung "flip" QWERTY remotes that's about as responsive as a 96-year old behind the wheel of a towncar. Reply
imutau - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkActually the Roku remote is pretty sound for using Netflix. Apple TV's remote is similar too. Besides on screen keyboards (which every remote that does not include a native keyboard will suck eggs at) it works fine for me.
The most awesome thing is that it's only $35! That's less than a new PS3 game and a 3rd of the price of a Rokum or Apple TV. For what it does it seems like a really great device.
But as some have mentioned if you have something that does this already like a Roku (configured with PLEX) or Apple TV (hacked to run XBMC) there really isn't a need for this.
Some draw backs is the fact it is only WIFI AND that it can only do 720p playback. Also that the only local content it seems to stream with any consistency is .mp4. Also it doesn't seem to as yet be able to stream local content from a wireless device like a phone or tablet.
I am sure once it gets opened a bit more where it will be able to run more apps from the Play Store it sounds like it will be a really great device. But for now I am willing to wait. Reply
MaulBall789 - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - link@Guspaz, I already have a 42" Sony Google TV and through the Netflix app on my iPhone I can choose the program I want to watch and it will ask me if I want to view on my Google TV or iPhone. If I choose GTV it starts playing right away. Chromecast doesn't do anything to improve this, as far as I can tell, and so far only has Netflix and Youtube, same as the Google TV has had. That being said, I want to play around with this device to see what it's really capable of. Maybe I'm missing something. Reply
rwei - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkI just plugged in an old laptop and spent my $35 on a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard/touchpad. And the Netflix experience is great with that, as well as any other source of content I can think of, including my NAS and shared drives, plus browsing, chat...
Don't get me wrong, the Chromecast looks to be a great product serving an unmet need at a tantalizing price point. But it's not going to revolutionize content consumption...
What might is the Xbox One when it comes out. All of the above capabilities and true, full-featured integration with my desktop and phone (cable too if I had that), plus a 10-ft UI that doesn't even require a remote much of the time.
Assuming Microsoft executes on its promise, which it does do to an impressive degree sometimes while delivering real head-scratchers at others. Which will this be...? Reply

kirsch - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkThe licensing implications of Tab casting are interesting to me. Hulu (or more likely Hulu's content providers) cannot be happy and may force Google to somehow disable Chromecast on their website. Or I can dream, and maybe they will realize the futility of making an artificial distinction between clients and will stop the BS. Reply
savagemike - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkHulu et al have a bit of a problem though. Since the tab casting is mirroring it never sees the Chromecast directly and should have no way to see anything but the Chrome browser. The Chrome browser is among the most popular in the world.
So Hulu and the rest have one play. They can stop their sites from being visible on one of the most popular browsers in the world. Even if they decided to make that play thinking they'd drive people off Chrome to other browsers Google (or whomever) could quite easily make a similar extension for Firefox which also plays well with WebRTC. So hulu would probably end up having to block Chrome and Firefox. That would be insanity for any web company.
In any event I would imagine a firefox extension to work with Chromecast will show up sooner or later. Reply

jjj - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkThis is exciting because it's open and easy for devs to add the functionality while users don't have to wait on Google or install apps on the device to gain functionality. Many more things to say about it but won't do that now, except that i hope they won't censor content and it's a pity they released it when it still looks at best like a beta.Things like local media playback not just tabs, phone to phone , more apps supporting it (including some other Google services like Docs) would have been nice to have at launch.
Google managed to keep it simple and it's cheap but it's in beta and it's not easy to explain what the thing is to the consumer and they haven't found a great way to do so. Nice to see that Google pulled a Google in a time when they seem to have lost it and it has a strong chance of taking off fast.

r3loaded - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkChromecast looks nice, but I'm not sure why everyone's raving about it. For me, it's nearly useless. I don't have Netflix, I don't have any media bought off Google Play and there isn't a lot on YouTube that's worth displaying on a big screen.
What I do have is a mass load of music and ripped Blu-rays (main movie in an MKV container with just the English audio track) stored on my home server, accessible as an SMB share. From what I can gather, I won't be able to play any of my locally stored media on a Chromecast. I don't see why a device that's supposed to do media streaming can't even do something this basic.
I suppose I can have fun displaying web pages on the TV... Reply
JNo - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkI agree. If it helps, apparently Chrome tabs can play a lot of media file types if you drag them in. You can then use Chrome Tab Casting to view it. However, I can only imagine a significant degradation in quality if the source was a decent quality 1080p file.
So for me too, this is more of a solution looking for a question. Reply
setzer - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkWell, I have the same "problem", another is that I use subtitles, which means that every time I want to have subtitles on some movie I have to re-encode the movie even if it was in some supported format.
Also my tv (and well, most recent tvs) already is capable of accessing websites and stream content with DLNA so i'm really unsure what is the point of a device like chromecast... Reply
matt30 - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkIt can if you encode it correctly. Chome plays MKVs. Reply
setzer - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkWell, that's the thing, chrome may play mkv's but the chromecast thingie only supports a limited amount of codecs, so unless you have all the streams (audio,video,subs) in a supported format you need to re-encode the streams.
And if you need to re-encode there is not much of difference between re-encoding for chromecast or to a DNLA supported codec which is probably already supported by your tv. Reply
savagemike - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkYou have to realize there is a broader market for this stuff then straight up geeks. Half the population is using smart phones - which doesn't even say anything about tablet usage. How many of that set do you think also has a media collection on dlna servers? You think that is about half the population?
This simply might not be a product directed at you.
Also it is probably a matter of weeks before plex has this enabled. I would imagine by Christmas there will be several avenues available for media geeks with home collections to use chromecast. And that is completely aside from the mirrored screen casting features. Reply
mitcoes - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkThanks for the article. Excellent first version of this product but as I decided not to be more an early adopter I'll wait for the Chromecast 2 or 3 with all the features it should have the first version.
As WiFi 5Ghz VP9 hardware decoding ethernet, Miracast 1080p or even 4k mentioned here - artilce + comments - . The price is the best.
And If I where a TV brand I would put inside my models something compatible - same software - but with this better features I wrote before as it seems this time Google TV is betting to be the new TV standard with or without chromecast and as we know standards - even if they are worse - usually win Reply

MKBL - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkI'm confused. Right now I have a laptop with broken screen connected to a TV through HDMI. This setup handles most streaming efficiently, and I wonder if Chromecast will replace it with better efficiency. Maybe I'm facing my moment of being a tech-norant at age of 41, but I don't get the concept of the Chromecast. Does it receive all media data through laptop or tablet/smartphone that controls it remotely, or will it be streamed directly to Chromecast, which then decode it once the remote control - selecting channel/source, etc. ? If it is the former case, what is the difference between having a laptop connected and Chromecast connected to TV? I understand that the size is huge difference, and the price as well, but someone like me with extra laptop or media box like Zotac Z-box already, is there any benefit of having Chromecast? I'm not rejecting it, I am just confused. Reply
savagemike - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkYou will see no benefit.
Chromecast uses both methods you describe. For the apps with it built in the controlling device is doing nothing but acting as a control channel. The content is streamed directly from the cloud source by the chromecast device.
For the beta tab-casting feature using a Chrome browser on a computer - the source computer is encoding everything and streaming it to the Chromecast. It is actively mirroring it's content to the Chromecast itself.
To the Chromecast device itself these thing are indistinguishable I imagine.
In any event if Google could hand out laptops with no screens for $35 this would be an even more amazing product. Reply
Wolfpup - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkDumb question, but AppleTV basically does this same thing, but using OS X or iOS, right? Like Airplay can stream arbitrary content from OS X or iOS? (Though I guess not Windows?) Reply
Sm0kes - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkCorrect, this looks to compete directly with Airplay. I think the excitement around this stems from the fact that 1.) it's cheaper than anything airplay enabled 2.) and more "open" (as opposed to being locked to a single platform).
Obviously, it'll take time for the developers and hackers to really dig in, but it's definitely a promising little device. Reply
steven75 - Monday, August 05, 2013 - linkIt does a subset of the things ATV does, since ATV can:
-Be used standalone without any other device
-AirPlay local files from device-to-device (pictures/videos/apps)
-Full 1:1 screen mirroring, no browser needed
-Act as AirPlay receiver for multiple streams simultaneously (multi-room A/V)
-More support from content owners: Hulu, HBO Go, MLB/NBA/NHL, etc
Those things are definitely worth the extra $64 to me. YMMV. Reply
matt30 - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkIt seems that only the beta channel of Chrome has the option to share your entire desktop. You might want to test that.
Also, I don't think the "second mode" as you called it, works purely over LAN. In part I think that's the source of the delay. Try casting a tab then cutting your internet. If I'm right the tab casting should stop despite the fact that there is still a LAN. Reply
Sm0kes - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkInteresting. I can't imagine google would be encoding via the cloud? Reply

Marthisdil - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkOnly reason I was going to buy a Chromecast is because after accounting for 3 free months of Netflix, throwing away $11 on a gadget I wouldn't use much was OK with me.
Since they got rid of the 3 free months, there's no reason for me to blow $35 on something I won't use much. Especially since my XBMC pc hooked up to my receiver and TV gives me a lot more functionality - at no additional cost to me - that does all the same, and more, than Chromecast. Reply
Dentons - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkClearly they don't need to offer 3 free months of Netflix any longer. There is tremendous, even say overwhelming demand. With the Netflix offer, it was a steal. Right now, Chromecast is backordered for a month at most sites, and it's still a very good value for money.
Many of us have products that do some of the things Chromecast does, but Chromecast does some things with an ease not found in many far more expensive solutions.
I too have an existing media machine, one that is far more expensive than Chromecast. I still like the Chromecast. It's easy, it's wireless, it's cheap, it just works.
Even if you have an existing media machine, don't knock Chromecast until you've tried it. And that's now, before it even has wide support. A device with this much demand and an open SDK is destined for greatness. Reply
BugblatterIII - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - linkMiracast works fine for me with my S3 and my gf's Note II. One gotcha is it doesn't like rooted devices; you have to hide root for it to work.

Torment in the Knobs
A Historical Novel of the Nineteenth Century and A True Story of Mason Evans - a Hermit for Forty Years in the Wilds of Starr Mountain Tennessee
by R. Frank McKinney
About the Book
This a tale of personal tragedy, played out on the dynamic stage of East Tennessee in the 19th Century. It is billed as a novel - but only the dialogue is fiction. The characters and events are real.
Mason Evans, a young schoolteacher and militia Captain, is rejected by his fiancee. He abandons society and becomes a hermit, spending the next 40 years wandering in the mountains.
Local and State politics, the Cherokee Removal to Oklahoma(the Trail of Tears), the War Between the States, and development of the railroads are all described from a very personal perspective in Monroe County and McMinn County, Tennessee

Amazon: Downtown Chic - Designing Your Dream Home - From Wreck to Ravishing by Bob Novogratz and Cortney Novogratz
I have a hard time sitting still long enough to watch most shows on HGTV. But "Home by Novogratz" turns interior design into performance art, with the husband-and-wife team at the helm letting their six kids into the act along with their clients. And, although they do attempt some insane feats with lucite, paint, handmade wallpaper and repurposed furniture, they are not tragically hip but brilliantly off-the-wall. You just might want to get two copies of this book . . .

"I was very impressed with the entire process from the selection, to the pricing, to the customer service, to the quality! If I could, I would buy all my wedding stuff from this company (beyond paper items!) I highly recommend Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"love these invites. they were the perfect mix of modern and traditional that we were after. the colours are also subtle and chic."
"Ordered my wedding invitations so that they looked like an old fairytale. They came in and were gorgeous, the pictures were great quality and the lettering was clear and easy to read."

Hi everyone! I need your advice. I don't have extended knowledge about HTML, I know just basics. And it's too hard and killing to code. I have inspiration and I'd like to design with pleasure not making boring work. Can you advise me any tool or maybe software that can convert my PSD to WordPress theme? Any ideas? Waiting for your help.
I agree with Felgall. I can code HTML and CSS, but I think I would have plenty of trouble making a Wordpress theme. Get someone who specifically makes themes and has plenty of Wordpress experience. This likely isn't something that just learning HTML and CSS yourself will be enough for you (in my opinion).
Actually, Wordpress themes are are simple as they come.I'm sure you would be able to create one, they are just HTML templates with some embedded <?php ?> blocks which you can just leave where they are.
slice you psd in photoshop and use html editor like mention above or dreamweaver, frontpage.
I would highly discourage using a WYSIWYG editor to convert a PSD into a web format, it's like taking one step forward, two steps back. If you find that coding is too hard and you want to get something that will do the job professionally... outsource the work and hire a professional, there's no tool that can look at an image and instantly know the right element for the right job. Coding is a task intended for humans that understand context and meaning, not for a machine that will simply patch things together in an unprofessional manner which is unwieldy and poorly constructed just to try and emulate the structure generically.
Perhaps the simplest solution is to hire someone who creates WP templates to create it for you. Since you have the PSD you can show them approximately how the pages are supposed to look so that all they'll need in addition to that to be able to actually create a template for you is some samples of content.
Splashh: that's not a plugin, that's human beings coding a wordpress theme from your PSD. That can be done well, depending on the skill of the coders.
A plugin, though, is a "stupid" piece of code. It can't possibly know semantics.
Thanks for replies! Maybe you can advise me some tutorials?
http://convertpsdtowp.com/ - here is the link where everything is describd step by step
there are quite a few psd to wp companies now that do this for you for next to nothing, might be worth considering..
Notepad++. Does beautiful, if manual, conversions.
The purpose of HTML is to mark up semantics and structure – what things are.A PSD comp is just an image that shows how something looks.
You can't convert from appearance to semantics. That's like asking for software that can convert pop songs into architectural plans for a building.

Yeah, I know...I only posted about a dozen game photos and then here are 39 Pacemate photos! Well, we spent much of the game actually watching instead of me shooting, and then I concentrated on getting decent Pacemate shots.....Anybody believing me?!
BTW, I apologize in advance for all the shots with just ONE leg or set of feet or head ruining a better shot...Not much I can do, and I don't photoshop that kinda stuff. I figure if I can't get the shot, I'm not gonna manufacture it...
I said I'd do it, so here they are...
It's crazy how small the ladies look next to SuperDoof...
Love the facial expressions, Sarrah! Toss up between you and Shea as to who's more entertaining to watch... (at least thus far...c'mon ladies, let's see some good ones!)
Signin' autographs! WooHoo! You ladies are famous!
Good one, Shea!
Lovely ladies on the squad this season, but they were several girls short...Not sure what's up, but looking forward to seeing the whole 2010-11 squad!
I noticed I got quite a few shots of several of the PM, but not a lot of some of the others. I apologize, ladies. I always try to get balanced shots, but the ones of the ladies who didn't get decent solo shots posted weren't worth posting! I'll work on it, and know it's not an indication of anything other than I missed!

Weekly #streameroftheday Update
For those of you unfamiliar with the #streameroftheday process, I recommend one starting pitcher per day who is owned in fewer than 10% of leagues (lower than your typical standards) and post it on Twitter at @dynastyguru. And this Friday post is where I stand in front of the firing squad, fully accountable for these recommendations. I ran a longer introduction in my first post of the season, explaining why my ownership limit is much lower than most others out there, but essentially it's to be helpful in deeper mixed leagues. If you want to read the whole thing, the link is here. With the pleasantries out of the way, let's jump into the action.
Here were the details for the last seven days:
Oh, Joe Saunders. Just when you think it's safe to get in the water. Coming into this start, Saunders had allowed only 13 earned runs in his seven starts at Safeco, so of course he gets bombed by the Pirates. That start turned what would have been a pretty great week into just an OK one. The highlights of the week were plentiful, starting with the return of Martin Perez. I've recommended Perez twice in the three weeks since Mike Gianella and I changed the Free Agent Watch format--and this is why. A victim of prospect fatigue, Perez is still only 22 years old, more than six months younger than rookie phenom Gerrit Cole. Joe Blanton turned in another solid outing at home, and his strikeouts have been ramping up over his last four starts. In fact, Blanton is tied for 14th in all of baseball in strikeouts during June. Robbie Erlin is going to be a great play at home if he continues to stay in the rotation, and Tyler Chatwood is turning into a great play anywhere. Unfortunately, Chatwood is dangerously close to losing his eligibility here.
And here are my overall numbers for both the week and the season:
The week lowered my ratios, but was disappointing as far as wins and strikeouts. Lots of near misses though, as Blanton, Erlin and Chatwood were both looking at wins before late leads were blown. I'm going to need to pick my spots carefully, but strikeouts and wins need to become a higher priority over the next few weeks as I start slipping further away from those targets (40% and 7.0 K/9).
See you again next week.

HOUSTON - A 16-year-old student at a Galena Park high school has been arrested and accused of making a threat against his school.
Galena Park Independent School District officials said the North Shore High School sophmore made the threat on Twitter. However, investigators said they do not believe the student had the ability to carry out the threat and the school is safe.
The FBI spotted the post and notified Harris County Precinct 3 deputy constables, who took the sophomore into custody at his home Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. The suspect's name was not released.
Deputies said the teen asked on Twitter, "Who wants to help me blow up the school tomorrow?" More than 50 people commented on the Tweet, which was made at 8:45 p.m. Monday. The teen told deputies that he did not want to attend school.
"People who were tweeting back were saying, basically, 'You're stupid. You're going to get in trouble," Capt. John Moore said. "His response, basically, was, paraphrasing, 'I don't care.'"
Some students said they didn't think the threat was serious.
"I think he was just kidding. I don't think he was taking it seriously," said Chris Trevino, a friend of the suspect. "I know he wouldn't do something like that."
The student was charged with a terroristic threat, a felony.
"Galena Park ISD is asking parents and guardians to take a moment to remind students to be mindful of what they post to their social media sites. While these sites are great tools for communication, posting certain comments are against the law and can be hurtful to others or themselves," the district said in a statement.

The AFL has condemned a homophobic slur by one of Port Adelaide's corporate sponsors, but the league's offer of counselling with a prominent activist has been deemed unnecessary by the club.
Rather than sever ties with Greg Evangelou, the owner of White Marquee Event Hire, Port's CEO Keith Thomas denounced his offensive online post but is satisfied Evangelou is genuinely contrite.
Port has declined the AFL's offer to engage Jason Ball – an anti-homophobia campaigner, gay Victorian footballer and beyondblue ambassador – to assist with the matter.
The Power only become aware in recent days of a comment Evangelou posted on Facebook, after the club lost to Adelaide last month, where he referred to Crows supporters as "faggots".
In a reference to Adelaide's fan base – which the Crows refer to as the "19th man" – Evangelou posted: "To all my fellow 19th faggots. Enjoy today like you've won a grand final ... because that's about as good as its going to get for yas for a very long time."
Evangelou's business is one of Port Adelaide's principal partners and listed on the club's website in the same tier as sponsors Coca-Cola, Fuji Xerox, Channel 7 and Roh Wheels. It's understood there are financial and contra components to the corporate relationship.
The AFL told Fairfax on Thursday it was involved in the matter and was treating it "seriously".
"We will work with the club to ensure this individual understands the harm caused by these types of comments and why they are totally unacceptable," corporate affairs boss James Tonkin said.
"The AFL rejects all forms of vilification and treats this matter seriously."
Thomas, however, deemed his personal dealings with Evangelou had been sufficient.
"The club has spoken to Greg about his post and counselled him on the harm these types of comments can cause," Thomas said.
"We are satisfied that Greg understands his wrongdoing and is extremely regretful for the post. He promptly sent me a letter of apology and personally assured me that he has learnt from his mistake.
"We appreciate the AFL offering us extra counselling for Greg, but as it stands we are very confident that the counselling he received from the club on Monday will ensure this won't happen again."
Evangelou, who has been a sponsor of Port Adelaide for nearly four years, has removed his Facebook post.
In 2012 Melbourne cut ties with its then major sponsor, EnergyWatch, after the company's former CEO Ben Polis posted racist and sexist remarks on Facebook. The sponsorship deal was worth an estimated $2million to the Demons.

This may be a CSS thing as well, so asking here
Does anyone know how to split a list horizontally across columns,something like this: http://www.madeincima.it/en/articles/resources-and-tools/easy-list-splitter-plugin/
BUt the above doesnt let me do this:I want to have list items split into 4 columns, but list items should be ordered top to bottom, and not column specific, ie when you make the browser smaller, the 4 columns will turn into 3 columns and all items will be split again amongst the 3 columns.
If you mean you want the list to go 1 ,2 3 across the top of the page rather than down the page as in the plugin you showed then isn't that what lists will more or less do automatically if you float or set them to inline-block?

'This past spring there was a lot of talk from the Sabres as they went their separate ways that Ruff was too harsh at times. Derek Roy was on the front line of the criticism and perhaps for his trouble, was traded to Dallas in July. One veteran player who has played for at least one other team in his NHL career told our Paul Hamilton that Ruff was the harshest coach he had ever experienced. So the signs were there. Rather than act on them over the summer, the Sabres engaged in meetings with certain players in an effort to improve communication and perhaps not have players who have been with Ruff for so many years be so fatigued by his methods.'
