A Crisis Counselor's View on NCAA Likeness Cases
July 31, 2009 - Recently, several student athletes are upset with their likeness being used by the NCAA for video content, and decided to take things to court. This includes classic games available on DVD, and of course, videogames. Sam Keller, the former Arizona State and Nebraska quarterback, filed a class action lawsuit against the NCAA, as well as EA Sports for their NCAA college football games. These cases are still pending, but we thought it would be helpful to get a more professional opinion on the matter. IGN recently sat down with Jason Maloni, Vice President at Levick Strategic Communications, LLC. Maloni has experience in the field of sporting lawsuits, and was able to offer up his thoughts on these ongoing cases.

The PC Sports Fan's Letter To Peter Moore
July 14, 2009 - Dear Peter Moore, We all know that you're an extremely busy guy: you recently challenged the President to EA Sports Active workout, you released NCAA Football 10 today, and you're busy gearing up for Madden 10 and the newly announced MMA title from your company. We're also aware that EA Sports is the largest sports games maker in the world – sure, you've been fending off competition from 2K Sports with certain games, but comparatively, your company has replaced its arcade focus on most sports with more realistic approximations that adequately embody your "It's in the game" slogan. However, we, the PC gamers around the world, have a serious bone to pick with you. In particular, let us sum up our argument succinctly in one simple phrase that should be easy to hit as a bullet point for any PowerPoint presentation:
EA's NCAA Football 10 Hits Shelves Today
July 14, 2009 - Nationwide competition for pride begins as fans battle to prove their school is number one.
Out This Week: July 13-17, 2009
July 13, 2009 - With so many games being released on so many platforms throughout the year, it's tough to keep track of which titles are shipping out each week. So we've compiled a handy list that will be updated weekly to let you know what's hitting stores now. Tuesdays are the most common day for videogame releases, so that's when we'll update Out This Week.
NCAA Football 10 Review
July 13, 2009 - These days in elementary schools across America, the prevailing educational notion is that everyone should be a winner. No one should ever have to know what it's like to "lose." Fortunately, college sports haven't caught on to the fact that we're all winners. At the end of the day (or season), there can be only one champion. But EA Sports is trying to change that with a friendlier offering this year in NCAA Football 10. Don't get me wrong, you can still enjoy a season of getting your ass handed to you by the Top 25 teams, but now, more than ever in the long history of this franchise, you can ensure yourself a victory.

NCAA Football 10: Road to Glory Mode Revealed
June 29, 2009 - Creating your virtual likeness in a sports videogame and building them up from a mere mortal into an athlete of legendary status is one of the staples of the genre. Over the past several years EA Sports' NCAA Football has provided fans with a Campus Legend mode that allows them to design a player, take them through the high school playoffs and then build them up into the stud of college campus life. This year, for NCAA Football 10, the mode is known as Road to Glory and now features the reporting talents of the wonderfully delicious Erin Andrews.

Library Rewind: Xbox 360 Multiplayer Games
June 24, 2009 - It's not going to be a busy July as far as Xbox 360 releases go. As you may have seen in our recent Games of Summer 2009 feature, there are only a handful of titles on the way. While some Xbox 360 owners might be thrilled at the prospect of picking up NCAA Football 10 and The King of Fighters XII, maybe you and your friends are looking for something a little different in these summer months. Many by now know about Call of Duty 4, Call of Duty: World at War, Halo 3, Rock Band 2, Left 4 Dead, and Gears of War 2, all great games that routinely show up on most popular Xbox 360 games lists, but what else is out there that offers an interesting multiplayer experience? With this list, we're here to help. The following article contains ten games we plucked out of the Xbox 360 library that, although some are a few years old at this point, offer much different kinds of multiplayer gaming than what you may be used to. Hardcore gamers have probably already checked out everything here, but for the population of Xbox 360 owners who don't necessarily follow the day to day happenings of the videogame industry or just recently picked up a console, the list should be helpful. Included are titles both more obscure and popular across as broad a range of genres as possible that we loaded up to see if people were in fact still playing online, where applicable. We've also included links out to sites where, if you find a particular title sounds appealing, you can pick up a copy for a reasonable price. Or you could just check the bargain bin at a local brick and mortar retailer. Xbox Live Arcade titles were not considered for the list.

This week's Social 50 chart brings a new entrant into the top 10, as Justin Timberlake climbs 18-9 off the success of his "Suit & Tie" video that bowed on Feb. 14.
The two-year old Social 50 chart ranks the most popular artists on YouTube, Vevo, Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, Wikipedia, Myspace and Instagram. The chart's methodology blends weekly additions of friends/fans/followers along with artist page views, song plays and reactions.
This is Timberlake's first week in the top 10 after 88 weeks on the list. He jumps after adding over 456,000 fans to his overall fan base (up 2.4% over the previous week). 193,000 of these fans were added on Facebook alone, spurred by a 74% rise in conversation about the artist on the platform.
The views to the "Suit and Tie" official video prompted a 95% rise in weekly video views to Timberlake's VEVO channel, which added 14 million new views during the charting week.
Drake Rises From the Bottom: Drake rises (39-22) this week, coinciding with the debut of the video for his newest single, "Started From the Bottom." Through Feb. 21, it had received 9.7 million views worldwide since its Feb. 13 debut. "Started From the Bottom" is the first single off Drake's forthcoming album, "Nothing Was the Same," due out later this year.
The release helps earn Drake an 8% weekly lift in overall fan base, caused in part by the addition of over 57,000 new fans on Facebook and over 76,000 new followers on Twitter. His Social 50 score is also increased by how active he is on Instagram, where he added 104,000 new followers this week -- an 80% increase over the previous week.
Rihanna's "Stay" Puts Her at No. 1: Rihanna returns to the No. 1 spot on the Social 50 chart, following the debut of the video for her single "Stay," featuring Mikky Ekko. Its clip debuted on Feb. 12, following the duo's performance of the tune on the Feb. 10 Grammy Awards.
She takes the throne with an astounding 23 million views earned by "Stay" during the charting week, adding to over 59 million views received by her VEVO channel during the week (a 25% increase). A 112% increase in reactions on Facebook translates to more than 330,000 new fans on the platform, while on Twitter she adds 121,000.
Burton Bump: Elsewhere on the Social 50, Metallica re-enters at No. 35 as the band commemorated the Feb. 10 birthday of its former bassist Cliff Burton, who died in 1986 when the band's tour bus overturned. Burton was the band's bassist for several of Metallica's formative albums, including "Kill 'Em All," "Ride the Lightning" and "Master of Puppets."
"Happy Birthday Cliff. We miss you," the band wrote in a post on its Facebook page that received a staggering 280,000 post-likes, creating a boost in newsfeed impressions that helped Metallica add 185,000 new followers to the platform (a 74% weekly increase).
Back in the top 10, we have Justin Bieber jumping (4-2) along with Taylor Swift (6-3), Britney Spears (8-4) and Bruno Mars (7-6). Beyonce simmers down a few positions (1-5), as does Shakira (3-7), while One Direction bumps up a rung (9-8). Eminem rises to bring up the rear (11-10).

There once was a great salt lake, 12,000 feet above sea level. Over time it dried up and left behind one of the most incredible geological aberrations in the world: The Salar de Uyuni. The salt from the evaporated lake remains, creating 7500 square miles of salt planes, a hard white sea that stretches to the horizon. It is an incredibly desolate place, the few pockets of life it can sustain are on islands of rock that rise off of the salt flats. Mounds of volcanic rock dotted with giant cacti that support populations of birds, lizards and a very strange rabbit-like creature with a long tail called a viscacha. Surrounding the salt flats are rugged hills and volcanos, some of which were underwater until the Great Lake disappeared.
When we awoke from our sleep deprived coma, we wandered around the oddly wide bleached and bleak streets of Uyuni, looking for the best way to get out onto the Salar. The little town is almost entirely geared towards tourists these days and competition for their dollars is fierce. Every other storefront downtown offers very systematic drives across the salt flats, stopping at a predestined number of thrilling sights. Many of the companies operate on very thin profit margins, cutting when they can on things like the drivers fee or vehicle maintenance. Despite the Salar being one of the widest, flattest, most open places or earth, in 20o8, two tourist laden SUV's crashed head on killing everyone in both vehicles except one of the drivers.
Wary of the cut rate tour operators and willing to splurge a bit and hire a private car, we pounded the pavement until we found a company who seemed honest and cheap. The next day our driver, Rodrigo, picked us up in his Nissan Patrol and we headed out onto the salt. I (Ian) have a difficult time sometimes writing about absolutely stunning, tranquil places. It doesn't make sense for me to haul out the superlatives and adjectives of awe in the case of Salar de Uyuni, it's time to hand it over to the professional photographer and let Magda's photos speak for themselves (With captions of course, since I can't control myself).
A gortex cowboy surveying the 'train cemetery', an old train yard at the edge of the Salar with dozens of train cars in various states of disintegration.
The gaudy interior of one of several 'salt hotels'. Built mostly of blocks of salt from the Salar, most of these places have learned why buildings aren't generally made of salt, they tend to melt in the rain. Despite this inescapable fact of physics, tourists like us love them, even when they have a cheesy winter wonderland theme like this one.
Blocks of salt for a new salt hotel being chiseled out of the solar. An adept salt chopper like the gentleman on the left can cut 200 blocks per day. The guy on the right can't do anything.
A far less cheesy, very comfortable salt hotel in Tahua. We stayed here at the Tayka Hotel for a night while exploring the Salar.
A cloudy day makes for a spectacular play of light across the Salar.
A viscacha on Incahuasi Island.
Refilling with gas in the middle of the Salar.
Salt is harvested near the town of Colchani. The iconic piles of are collected daily before being processed and sold as table salt.
When we got back to Uyuni after a night out on the salt flats, we made our way to the bus we'd reserved for the city of Sucre. Naturally it had been cancelled due to the ongoing blockades. We asked around for other buses but few others were leaving. We practically ran to the airline office where we were told all planes out of Uyuni were booked for three days. Counting our money we realized we only had enough Bolivianos for possibly one more night at a cheap hostel, and no more. I dipped into the last of our dollars reserve and pulled out two one hundred dollar bills. We brought them to an exchange office, where they were literally thrown back at us: each bill had a tiny tear in it, making them worthless in Bolivia. Coming back to the bus station (or a street that has buses parked on it) we found and bought the two last tickets on a night bus to Cochabomba. It was where we had started our trip in Bolivia, where our ATM cards had expired, and where our replacement cards had been sent.
The decision had been made, it was too difficult to stay in Bolivia any longer. We arrived the next morning in Cochabomba, booked a night bus to La Paz, and from La Paz, we fled the country. We arrived in Copacabana, Bolivia around noon, and had crossed the Peruvian border by 1:30.
We both miss Bolivia. The people were charming, the pace relaxing. The scenery stunning. Someday we'd love to return after they work out the issues that caused the endless blockades. It may seem trite for a tourist to complain about the blockades, but it wasn't only us that were effected. Alex, our friend at Las Lilas Hostel, had lost hundreds if not thousands of dollars due to cancellations from would-be guests. When we arrived back in Cochabomba, his lovely hostel was empty. Commerce was at a dead stop. Produce was rotting in stalled trucks across the country. Container ships were wracking up massive costs waiting to offload to trucks that never came. I'm not an expert in economics, or Bolivian politics, but it seemed like a terrible way for a developing country to develop.

Colossal marble head of Emperor Constantine the Great
Christian persecution was ended by Constantine in all territories of the Empire. Personal devotions of Constantine I were focused on the war god Mars, and increasingly so the god Apollo considered an unconquered sun.
Emperor Constantine I was exposed to Christianity by his mother, St, Helena.
Constantine took over the role of the patron for the Christian faith in 325
The emperors bore the image of "Sol Invictus" in their personal medallions. Constantine decreed March 7 year 321 as the "Day of the Sun" in all imperial territories. The decree ordered all judges and other people to rest. All workshops and barns were closed to their operators who could relax with their families, with the exception of agricultural and livestock activities. The other activities were illegal with the possible loss of the right to entry to heaven.
Remember the vision of Constantine the day before the "Battle of the Milvian Bridge", which took place between the Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius. Constantine said he saw a cross in the sky and heard a voice telling him that if he used the cross as their flag banner, get the victory, ending the triumvirate and unify the Roman Empire.
The Milvian Bridge (Ponte Milvio) (over the Tiber, north of Rome, where Constantine and Maxentius fought in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge
Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to end the Tetrarchy and become the sole ruler of the Roman Empire. Maxentius drowned in the Tiber during the battle.
Constantine's victory was attributed to Christianity. Many interpretations were applied to declare that the day of Sol Invictus should be December 25th.

A Non-randomized, Open-label Dose-finding Trial of Combined Cytotoxic and Immune-Stimulatory Strategy for the Treatment of Resectable Primary Malignant Glioma
This is a Phase 1, multiple center open label, dose escalation safety study of Ad-hCMV-TK
and Ad-hCMV-Flt3L delivered to the peritumoral region after tumor resection. This study will
combine direct tumor cell killing (TK) and immune-mediated stimulatory (Flt3L) gene transfer
approaches delivered by first generation adenoviral vectors. Treatment with HSV1-TK is
expected to kill transduced brain cells, thus exposing tumor antigen. Treatment with Flt3L,
a cytokine known to cause proliferation of dendritic cells, should cause the migration of
dendritic cells to the peritumoral brain and remaining tumor. There, they will be exposed to
tumor antigens released from dying glioma cells through TK + valacyclovir-induced glioma
cell death, and thus mediate a specific anti-malignant glioma immune response against
remaining malignant glioma cells.
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Dose-Limiting Toxicity
Grade 4 toxicity for constitutional symptoms as graded by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03 (CTCAE) with the exception of fever >40°C for ≤24 hours. Grade 3 or greater CTCAE v4.03 neurologic toxicity relative to the changes from the pre-treatment neurological status and attributable to the study therapy regimen. Grade 3 or greater non hematologic toxicity as defined by CTCAE v.4.03, and attributable to the study therapy regimen. Grade 2 or greater autoimmune events as defined by CTCAE v.4.03

text: Does anybody offer "other" services during the slow season to stay busy and generate some ca$hflow ? We have added pressure cleaning, window cleaning and driveway sealing during the slow season. Seems like this time of year people want to clean sidewalks, roofs, houses, windows; perk up their homes in general. They are low entry cost services & it keeps us busy during the slow season. It also introduces us to new potential clients. We clean large commercial complexes to SFH; we just finished a four building apartment complex and have landed the grounds maintenance. I'm interested in any other ideas or just get a sense what you guys are doing to generate additional revenue.

The Maze Runner
by James Dashner
| Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes and Noble |
If you ain't scared, you ain't human.
When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He's surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.
Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.
Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It's the only way out—and no one's ever made it through alive.
Everything is going to change.
Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.
Remember. Survive. Run.
The Scorch Trials
by James Dashner
| Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes and Noble |
Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end.
Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. But WICKED isn't done yet. Phase Two has just begun. The Scorch.
There are no rules. There is no help. You either make it or you die.
The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off.
There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers' destruction—and they're determined to survive.
The Death Cure
by James Dashner

It's the end of the line.
WICKED has taken everything from Thomas: his life, his memories, and now his only friends—the Gladers. But it's finally over. The trials are complete, after one final test.
Will anyone survive?
What WICKED doesn't know is that Thomas remembers far more than they think. And it's enough to prove that he can't believe a word of what they say.
The truth will be terrifying.
Thomas beat the Maze. He survived the Scorch. He'll risk anything to save his friends. But the truth might be what ends it all.
The time for lies is over.
Fifty Shades of Grey
by E.L. James
| Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes and Noble |

The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana's quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.
Shocked yet thrilled by Grey's singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey's secrets and explores her own dark desires.
Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

This book is intended for mature audiences.
Fifty Shades Freed
E.L. James

Now, Ana and Christian have it all—love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of possibilities for their future. But Ana knows that loving her Fifty Shades will not be easy, and that being together will pose challenges that neither of them would anticipate. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian's opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own identity. And Christian must overcome his compulsion to control as he wrestles with the demons of a tormented past.
Just when it seems that their strength together will eclipse any obstacle, misfortune, malice, and fate conspire to make Ana's deepest fears turn to reality.
Fifty Shades of Alice in Wonderland
by Melinda DuChamp
| Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes and Noble |
Eighteen-year-old Alice is unhappy. Her boyfriend is nice and polite, but he's also quick and careless in bed, and doesn't give Alice the attention and variety she craves. But he's not entirely to blame, because Alice herself doesn't understand her own needs. She's heard about what sex is supposed to be like, but has never felt anything remotely close to what she's read about in runaway bestselling books.
Then Alice follows a vibrating white rabbit down a deep, dark hole, which leads to a place beyond her wildest imagination. There are no nice boys--or girls--down here. Only those who indulge in secret, forbidden, kinky fantasies.
Alice is confused and frightened and... aroused. She is bound. Teased. Spanked. Toyed. Brought to the limits of sexual endurance. And during her trials, she begins to understand her body's needs for the very first time.
This isn't the fairy tale you grew up reading. This isn't for children at all.
This is for those with dark desires, who wish to explore erotic excess beyond the plain vanilla of everyday life. Follow Alice down the rabbit hole, if you dare...
Fifty Shades of Alice in Wonderland is slightly longer than the Lewis Carroll version, roughly 32,000 words or 115 paper pages long. Melinda DuChamp is the pen name of someone you may know.
Fifty Shades of Alice Through the Looking Glass
by Melinda DuChamp
| Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes and Noble |
Eighteen year old Alice recently had an unprecedneted erotic experience. But her adventures have only just begun to heat up.
After breaking up with her boyfriend, Lewis, Alice enters a strange fantasy world where every pleasure - no matter how kinky - is indulged.
Alice is subjected to amorous escapades beyond her wildest dreams, and taken to the very limit of her sexual endurance.
During her carnal encounters with all manner of men and woman, she is teased to tears by a bondage master, thoroughly used in a three way, enlightened to the sensual joys of a female touch, taken to a sex shop to test different erotic toys, given several special piercings, and is dragged to the HDO where she must fight the frumious Jabbercocky to save all of Looking Glass Land. And you know what we mean by "fight"...
This is for those with dark desires, who wish to explore erotic excess beyond the plain vanilla of everyday life. Follow Alice through the looking glass, if you dare...
Fifty Shades of Alice at the Hellfire Club
by Melinda DuChamp
| Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes and Noble |
Twenty-three year-old Alice is stuck in a ho-hum marriage, bored with quickie vanilla sex. So she and her husband, Lewis, sign a contract with the notorious Hellfire Club in order to inject some spice into their love life.
But things get dicey when Alice's most decadent fantasies are brought to life, and she begins to fear that they'll never be allowed to leave.
The third short novel in the 50 Shades of Alice trilogy, this descent into naughtiness features the same colorful characters, kinky thrills, and offbeat humor as the previous bestselling titles.
This is erotica for smart people who like to laugh.

To cope with the stress of faking her way through this new reality, Charlie seeks late-night refuge in her backyard, talking out her problems with Braden by the fence that separates them. But their Fence Chats can't solve Charlie's biggest problem: she's falling for Braden. Hard.

99 Coffins: A Historical Vampire Tale (Paperback)
A Historical Vampire Tale
Broadway Books, 9780307381712, 295pp.
Publication Date: December 31, 2007
Laura Caxton vowed never to face them again. The horror of what the vampires did is too close, the wounds too fresh. But when Jameson Arkeley, broken and barely recognizable, comes to her with an unfathomable, unholy discovery, her resolve crumbles. Arkeley leads Caxton to a tomb in Gettysburg recently excavated by a local archaeology professor. While the town, with its legendary role in the Civil War's worst battle, is no stranger to cemeteries, this one is remarkably, eerily different. In it lie 100 coffins--99 of them occupied by vampires, who, luckily, are missing their hearts. But one of the coffins is empty and smashed to pieces. Who is the missing vampire? Does he have access to the 99 hearts that, if placed back in the bodies of their owners, could reanimate an entire bloodthirsty army? How did the vampires end up there, undisturbed and undiscovered for 150 years? The answer lies in Civil War documents that contain sinister secrets about the newly found coffins--secrets that Laura Caxton is about to uncover as she is thrown into a deadly, gruesome mission of saving an entire town from a mass invasion of the undead. . . .

More than 300 historic racing cars have been lined up for The Donington Historic Festival this Spring.
Previously a three-day event, the organisers have "shrunk" the festival into just two days, on Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1.
"Contrary to what many people have assumed, this is not because of a certain wedding that's taking place on April 29 – but because we have been asked by North West Leicestershire District Council to amend the schedule of the 2011 event," said event organiser Duncan Wiltshire. "The benefit for spectators is that there will be just as much action, but all within the two-day weekend."
Added Mr Wiltshire: "The festival offers all the thrills of the top, established events, but at a family-friendly price and at arguably the best spectator circuit in the country."
Spectators are promised an "enormous variety" of racing action covering the 1930s to the 1980s. The Festival includes Group C Le Mans sports cars, Porsche 917s and Ferrari GTOs, pre-War Bentleys, Bugattis and Alfa Romeos and far more besides.
There is free paddock access, allowing everyone to get close to the racing machines, as well as off-track displays and action, Group B rally cars, historic karts, autojumble and memorabilia stalls, cafés, bars and food outlets and club displays of selected classic marques, next to the race paddock and trade village.
Tickets are available from the Donington Historic Festival ticket hotline, 0844 873 7355 and online at the Donington Historic Festival website.

I'll bet you were wondering why I posted about my couch yesterday and then made it private, weren't you? Well, I can assure you that you didn't miss anything truly exciting. That post was intended for the representative of FURNITURE DESIGNER + HIS EX-PARTNER. It simply contained a series of photographs and two video clips of our couch.
Why? Well, because it just turned three years old and it is literally falling apart. We bought the couch through my good friend who is an interior designer at the same time that we bought this:
6 dining room chairs similar to this, but with custom upholstery:
One of these:
One of these:
One giant leather tufted ottoman and finally, one linen bench ottoman to match the bed. I don't have pictures of those and, frankly, I'm far too exhausted by the whole thing to bother posting pictures of my glorified footstools at the moment.
Yes, it's true that we had a bit more money back then. We were moving from our tiny Boston apartment and needed to furnish this:
Then we were surprised by one more of these:
Remember that time I wrote about how three children and that house had sucked the pretty right out of me? No? Well, click on those words back there and you'll find out why I'm so hideous. Not only did they all steal the last vestiges of beauty, they also sucked most of the money away too. My hard-working husband will entirely back me up on that claim.
Anywho…fast forward three years and we're now sitting on a busted couch from a high-end designer. The right-side arm always wiggled and the slipcover really never fit properly, but we dealt with it because the pleat that was pulling on the slipcover was on the back-side of the couch. No one saw it. Plus, I didn't want to be a pain in the ass to my friend who had helped me order everything. I truly hate to ask people for favors. So much so that it's a borderline psychosis. For example, my arm might be hanging off and I should go to the nearest hospital, but I'd rather bleed to death than ask someone to keep an eye on the kids so I can obtain proper medical attention. I've gone off subject entirely, haven't I?
Where was I?
Oh right…two weeks ago I noticed that when I sat on the couch I was caving into the middle and toward the front. Then I washed the slipcover (of course following manufacturer instructions) and, as I was putting it back onto the couch, the entire room filled with the sound of tearing. The entire back pleat ripped apart and tore a hole in the heavy denim twill.
Fantastic, I thought, then began swearing at no one in particular.
With a sigh, I resigned myself to the fact that we were a couple of suckers who bought a pricey slipcover that was now torn. That denim twill that I'd picked because I envisioned years of durable wear was flayed open right in front of my eyes. I gingerly resumed slipcover arrangement, placed my hand on the front frame and realized that it was moving. I stood back, gave it a good look and realized that the whole frame on the front of the couch was sagging. The front board that is supposed to be holding the cushions up is completely detached from the frame.
Really? Well, that explains why I have the odd sensation of caving in when I sit down.
There you have it. One very unexciting post about my couch that recently turned 3. Yesterday's private, password protected post was for the eyes of the representative at FURNITURE DESIGNER + HIS EX-PARTNER because it contained pictoral and videotaped proof of my defective couch and its poorly fitting (now torn) slipcover. I called to confirm her e-mail address the other day and was on the receiving end of a rather testy woman who seemed a bit put out that I needed her e-mail address again.
I didn't even mention that the buttons on our tufted headboard have popped out. I don't want to put anyone out.

The Owl Bank, Slot in
by Sy Schreckinger – ANTIQUE TOY WORLD Magazine – April, 1989
In many parts of
the world, and throughout history, the owl has evoked man's curiosity and
fascination. This creature has been worshipped by some as a wise and lofty
oracle, and feared by others as an evil sorcerer with its ominous
screeching and hypnotic eyes. Likenesses have been discovered decorating
the walls of caves inhabited by prehistoric man in France. Artists,
sculptors, and storytellers have, over the centuries, contributed to the
popularity of these nocturnal birds with mystifying and fascinating
Within more recent times, the owl has occasionally been incorporated
into the design of children's playthings. Such an example is the "Owl
Bank" portrayed in Figure I. It is one of a series of four mechanicals
designed by Ms. M. Elizabeth Cook, and subsequently manufactured by the
Kilgore Manufacturing Company of Westerville, Ohio. Unfortunately, no
patent information has been located. Design, production and sales
presumably occurred sometime between 1920 and 1926 as determined by
original Kilgore packaging, toy catalogs, and advertisements.
The "Owl Bank" is one of a series of four which was referred to
collectively as both "The Thrifty Four" and "The Toytown Workers Group of
Animal Banks." The series included "Flop Ears" (the rabbit), "Jug-O-Rum"
(the frog), "Pokey" (the turtle), and "Blinky" (the owl), Figure I.
"Pokey" (the turtle) has the distinction of being not only the rarest of
the series, but one of the rarest mechanicals in the entire category of
mechanical banks.
Two versions of "Blinky" (the owl) were manufactured. These differ
only in the respect that one, the earlier version, has the coin slot atop
its head (Figure I), while the other, or later and improved version, has
the slot in the book under its right wing. Differences in the location of
the coin slot resulted from a mechanical malfunction which occurred upon
insertion of the coin into the earlier "Owl Slot in Head." This prompted
an immediate redesign by Kilgore to the more efficient slot-in-book
version. Because of its limited production period, the "Owl Slot in Head"
enjoys the status of rarity and, generally, dependent upon mechanical and
paint condition, will command a higher price than an "Owl Slot in Book" of
equal condition.
Movement, or action, of both "Owl" banks is initiated by pressing a
coin into the slot. The eyes then roll downward, and up, as the coin drops
into the bank. Deposits are removed via a small, nickel-plated, key-lock
coin retainer underneath the base. (On occasion I have seen original,
unplated examples of these locks.)
The colors of the "Owl Slot in Head" are an overall light tan with
dark brown highlights. Its beak is bright orange with a black mouth and
nostrils. Its eyes are also orange with large black pupils. Thus, despite
its small size and relatively simple design, this mechanical, as well as
the other banks in the series, are quite attractively decorated.
Although I am unaware of the existence of reproductions of "Owl Slot
in Head," Figure II is a base diagram to aid the collector in determining
size, scale, or originality. Reproductions would appear approximately
one-sixteenth of an inch smaller across the base than indicated.

Keyboard-pop artist Chris Carpenter has already made a splash on the local scene, winning a songwriting contest and garnering SDMA nominations in both 2012 and 2013. It's not hard to see why on the local singer-songwriter's debut CD Up All Night. He writes strong material, sings it confidently in a powerhouse voice that is a ringer for Elton John, and the disc's 10 tracks are laid down in uncluttered arrangements (Carpenter also produced), which keep the spotlight on his pipes and the ivories, avoiding distractions.
He also wisely stays with adult contemporary pop-style music with an old-school vibe, crafting medium-tempo ballads and not trying very hard to be a rock 'n' roller. In fact, the opener, "Running," comes closest to breaking the mold, with a fairly brisk beat, some sharp keyboard playing, and even a hot guest guitar solo. This one works fine, but for the rest of the disc Carpenter is weaving stories with mellower fabric. The standout title track is a great example, with a simple piano riff leading into an instantly memorable melody, with Carpenter painting the picture, "I've been up since 4am/ And I can't tell if you're with him/ Wonderin' just where I fit in." The next tune keeps the level high, unfolding like one of John's mid-'70s pop epics; "Schoolboy Crush" has hooks and catchiness like the title track, and locks the listener in with its radio-ready groove.
For "Hard," Carpenter uses electric piano and gets a different texture with a slow ballad about how difficult love is, "Before you start/ You've already lost." This song is well played, but at nearly five and half minutes it seems to over-plow the same piece of musical and lyrical ground. "No Truce" is livelier, with a message that he has blundered one time too many and his lover has no interest in apologies – with good lyrical imagery in this tune as he sings about "You make me kiss your shotgun" and "I got no more life to waste on you." The addition of violin to the slow, anguished "Cruel" results in another good song that sounds like and could pass for any number of early John album tracks.
Carpenter scores another highlight with "Without You," and again it starts out with a fairly simple but very hummable hook. One of Carpenter's strengths is the way he generates dynamics with his keyboard skills and evocative vocal: starting small, building up, and coming back down, all with just his voice, keys, and rhythm section. The closing track is "Rainboots," this time just Carpenter and his piano for nearly six minutes. He keeps the listener involved, as elsewhere, by capturing sharp lyrical images and metaphors: "I left my rainboots on/ Like I'm expecting life to rain… To wade through the pain"; and with his riveting voice.
The music on Chris Carpenter's Up All Night shows a level of development and polish that recalls the piano balladeers of 40 years ago, while at the same time sounding fresh and original. It is a great listen.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Global lender HSBC (HSBA.L) is likely to stand firm on its $6.3 billion bid to buy Korea Exchange Bank (KEB) from U.S. private equity as a formal deadline looms, cheered by a more accommodating South Korean government.
The long-running deal, mired in outstanding legal issues, is seen as a test of whether South Korea is genuine in its pledge to open its financial sector wider to international investors.
A successful deal would be the biggest cross-border move in South Korea's banking sector and catapult HSBC into the ranks of the country's top local banks.
Recent sharp stock market losses have prompted speculation that Europe's biggest bank (0005.HK) may lower its offer for 51 percent of KEB 004940.KS owned by Lone Star LS.UL, but analysts note a weaker won currency could offset any savings HSBC might have made.
The won KRW= is down 7 percent against the dollar since the deal was announced last September.
Neither HSBC nor Lone Star would comment on what would happen once a Thursday deadline passes. HSBC reports its earnings on Monday and may say something then, analysts said.
"The deadline is highly likely to be extended," said Bryan Song, research head of Merrill Lynch in Seoul. "Even if it is not, the deal would remain intact because the regulator has started an approval process and HSBC would remain the exclusive negotiator. It is leaning towards completion."
A foreign bank official in Seoul said Lone Star has been preparing to repatriate the proceeds from the KEB sale, suggesting it thinks it is close to completing with HSBC.
HSBC has already extended the deadline once, from April 30, as it awaited necessary approvals from South Korean regulators.
The deal to buy control of South Korea's No.6 bank had looked deadlocked until last week when the Financial Services Commission (FSC) changed tack and said it was starting an approval process -- taken as a sign the government wanted to proceed.
But there could yet be delays.
A public backlash against a deal to import U.S. beef has seen President Lee Myung-bak's popularity plunge after just five months in office and could slow the sweeping reforms he promised to make South Korea more open to foreign investment.
Analysts say things could become clearer in September or October when a lower court is likely to hand down its verdict on whether Lone Star's $1.2 billion KEB purchase in 2003 was illegally made at below-market prices.
Lone Star is not directly involved in the case, but a senior FSC official said last week that legal uncertainties surrounding Lone Star would be cleared once the verdict is made.
The FSC said it had asked HSBC to submit updated and supplementary documents to start the review process. South Korean newspapers interpreted that as a move to prolong the process time until the lower court ruling.
HSBC's offer price corresponded to 18,045 won or $19.2 per share, according to HSBC's conversion rate -- a 23 percent-plus premium to KEB's September 3 closing price.
KEB shares ended down 0.38 percent at 13,200 won on Thursday.

Boko Haram Defeat and the Bakassi Conundrum
- NGTommorrow News
- Published in General
- 0 comments
February 21, 20..
After over 6 years of tormenting Nigeria, the Total Fall of Boko Haram (http://goo.gl/hep0C3) looks fast approaching.
The last one week has seen the Nigerian military and their Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) counterparts do great havoc on the camps and morale of the insurgents. Alas! The much dreaded Sambisa forest has now been invaded by the military.
News emerged on Thursday, February 19, that 158 women and children who were in Boko Haram camp were released and reunited with their families.
Also, in the last one week, the military has killed over 600 insurgents and have recovered, at least, 11 territories formerly under the control of Boko Haram. This is victory for Nigeria; a victory worth celebrating!
Unfortunately, the attitude of Nigerians to this victory has not been very encouraging. While it could be said that the government has not done enough over the years to tame the insurgents, Nigerians, especially the opposition, a lot of the times, fuel the fire of the insurgent's campaign by spreading news of their victories over Nigeria, and doing little to spread the news of Nigeria's victory over them.
Wars are first fought psychologically. In the Second World War, propagandas were used both by the Nazis and the Allied Forces. Also, the Cold War that dictated today's course of global economy decades back was fought mainly through media propaganda and reports.
It is disturbing that most journalists and pseudo journalists who were (or are) very active in the distribution of information relating to Boko Haram victories do not see the need to do same for the successes the nation has witnessed in the last one week plus.
Okay, please calm down. My goal is not to castigate anyone. Here:
…the Nigerian culture has, however, evolved over the years. In 2037, the Nigerian president (who later got impeached), despite becoming unpopular as a result of his role in the Iseyin IT infrastructure project, got the "indirect" support of Nigerians when Cameroun started a "cold war" over the Bakassi Peninsula region.
The Nigerian media and citizens stood their ground against what they "continually" called Cameroun propaganda and made sure they watered down news indicting the Nigerian government of neglecting the people of Bakassi; even though it was an open secret that the government of Nigeria some 2 decades earlier actually did abandon Bakassi people.
Many Nigerian journalists and citizens went to the extent of writing their news and comments in French, Chinese and German in order to gather support from as many regions in the world as possible.
After 2 years of media propaganda between the two nations, the International Court of Justice upturned its earlier verdict and gave the region back to Nigeria over proven claims of Cameroun's neglect and torment of the people of Bakassi. Nigeria would, however, have to part with some crude oil for 10 years. But this is still of comparative benefit to the nation and, more importantly, to the people of Bakassi who were resolute on being formally back under the government of their fatherland. (News on the recovery of Bakassi Peninsula still to come).

Burning La Crete right now and they are very good. Looking for cheaper "shoulder season" pellet.
Do yourself a favor and don't buy a lot of them...at least not without trying them first.
Some have said they had good luck, But many don't walk, They run away from them. These are said to be made of construction waste. Picture were posted of pellets having multi colors(could be from paint?).
Inferiors(thats what i call em) have several posts on here.
You guys rock as usual...will avoid this pellet. ANy suggestions to cheaper pellet?
Check out HD or Lowes.
Why would you want to run inferior pellets through your stove? The cost per BTU usually isn't any lower, and the ash and gunk they leave behind hurts stove performance. If they don't yield as much heat per pound, you will be carrying more pounds of pellets to your stove. I don't understand, what is the advantage?
I guess it all depends on just how much one pellet outperforms the other. If there is just a little more ash and a little less heat but a 30% price difference......personally I'd go with the cheaper one.
I'm with Harvey on this one. I haven't seen the point of running a cheaper pellet. The heat gains, and stove maintenance gains, are well worth burning good pellets all of the time.
Then mix with your lacretes 50/50
If you don't believe me try it
There are other pellets out there better than Infernos for the same or less money. I'd buy them and mix before I'd buy Infernos.
i bought 2 bags two years ago. One is still in the basement. It will not go into my stove. waiting for a rainy icy storm to use it for traction in the driveway.
Thats just wrong! I couldn't bring myself to do that. Eew even!
Maine DEP might come after you for that .
Maine hasn't added the extra e like CT. did? We now have to call it DEeP. deep doodo comes to mind.
Our government is a little behind. they are still trying to figure out how to prepare for the Y2K bug.
I burned 12 bags of Infernos earlier this month. What garbage. The burn pot was completely clogged up after about 8-10 hours of burning. Also, I had to turn the stove up an additional setting to even get remotely close to the same heat output as other brands.
I did notice that they feed A LOT slower. The pellets were very long (longer than any of the other 7 brands I have this year). Even so, when I turned my stove from 2 (what I normally leave it on) to 3 (what I would put it on if I want the house to "warm up") the feed rate was about what a normal pellet would feed on 2 (1 bag/12 hours) yet the heat didn't match up.
I'd leave them at the store.
Fire side ultras is a good alernative.

Some say they were Gods, immortal Kings, or maybe even born by divine holy birth, they were the Lystagia. Evidence and theories depicted these mysterious figures lived close to three thousand years ago. They were the first of our species, that was an accepted practice of belief. These men and women, the Lystagians, held immense, diverse powers, strong enough to wipe out an entire forest, or even defy the laws of gravity, had vanished.
A few crazed men among wealth and power, to this day, still believe the Lystagians live among us, in fear that they would be persecuted by the vast population. Technology now superior, overpopulation clogging the world, and evil manipulators frauding the systems. These special purpose people have now become an extinct breed of man, or have gone into a state of hibernation from the cruelty's of this begotten world.
News media, popular televised shows, and the mortality rate of orphans, this is all a hand played in crime. Big organizations like the Retribution Center of Frekinstan, have taken grasp of these systems, making large sums of money off of unforgivable acts of injustice. News has become the new drama show, television is graphic, and mostly torture game shows of death and arena slaughter. The mass of orphans in the world grows, but so does the execution of them; being thrown into arena death games to pick a few off here and there, decreasing population among the world.
America, Russia, China, once superpowers of the world, now a long past forgotten memory of a stain on the earth. Thrown into a catalyst, men and women were given equality among gender, races were no longer differentiated, and currency was burned. A powerful organization rose from the dirt of the earth in 2046. They identified themselves as a legion, an armada, a union of power and justice. They were conspicuous. The name they went by was purposefully lowercase, not as to show irrelevance, but to idolize the idea of a new beginning, a chance, the uprising of something great. To get away from democracy, the republicans, democrats, and the political subdivisions, the conspiracies, and everything socially depicted as acceptable.
The following countries are a list of people who disbanded the idea of their nation and country, and their culture, and decided to unite under one flag, conspicuous. Bolivia, Nigeria, Uzbekistan, Germany, South Africa, Pakistan, Mongolia, North Korea, Italy, Albania, Djibouti, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Canada. Some powerful at state, some uniting to bring anew. These countries disbanded their home name and thousands of years of culture. Borders were drifted afar, and among multiple continents. conspicuous, now seen as a threat, united in the province of Germany, growing the most diverse army, and possibly the most numerous. People who were citizens were enlisting themselves, men, women, of any age could join.
conspicuous, would never identify as a country, but contained provinces, these provinces were the named countries. None of this was ever official to the outside world until January 1st, 2046. On the new year, broadcast were interrupted as the ball dropped, and the conspicuous made their intentions clear to the world. No masks, no anonymity, even if identified, they stood proud and fearless against all nations of the world, all cultures. They declared war against the world itself.
The world responded slowly, trying not to make themselves a target, even the United States did not respond to this call, they were left with many decisions to make. conspicuous, would not acknowledge any border, as stated in the declaration of their order. Laws would be carried out accordingly, any law broken under their flag, resulted in punishable death.
So, three years passed, no words from conspicuous, and every held at bay, unaffected by this world breaking news. Then, as tanks, and armored vehicles rolled into France, the most powerful army declared this statement onto France, "Surrender your name, culture, and ideology, and unite yourselves among the conspicuous, or face the chaos we have prepared for you." France responded with steel, and there broke out the first war. The allied nations with France, responded with haste bringing in everything they had against the organization.
Now, no one knows if this is true, but they believe the last Lystagian woman sacrificed her life, and granted the power she contained, to the conspicuous. It is rumored her power gave the fighters something to turn the tides of war completely. conspicuous started winning after this occurrence. They took Europe, and then Russia. The United States had given up on it's alliances, throwing its treaties into the dirt, defending its own sovereign soil from war. As the conspicuous gave up the tradition to write down history, all of this is but a word of mouth passed down, changed to fit a bed time story more so.
All we really know is that the conspicuous was successful in conquering the world, a feat never accomplished until 2063. From 2049, to 2063, the world war lasted, millions died, fourteen years of anarchy, and the world had been taken. Now people looked towards a leader, who the government would be, how it would be governed, and most importantly, where the future would be led.
The most renowned leaders of conspicuous came together and made a speech, "We are conspicuous. We are free, but now our borders expand round' the globe. It is time to tell you of our true motive. You are free to govern yourselves, feed yourselves, create organizations, but overthrow our ideals, or attempt to divide us and you will be executed. We declare the arena games of Lystagia to govern population, and seek out the legends of these magical people with extraordinary abilities. That is all."
And so the legend ends, after the speech everyone turned back to their normal lives per say. Slowly, but surely the conspicuous became corrupt, and the arena games became evil and distort, an entertainment among the rich and powerful.
The year is now 2106, and a new legend is born, a generation of Lystagian have bloomed, and will now fight in the arena games, fighting for their anonymity, and most importantly their lives.
In a dystopian America, Trinity Shire, and three other...
Requiem is an epic trilogy, written in an autobiographical...
Imagine a world without imperfection, no flaws, no...
The mind trap craze is sweeping the nation, the virtual...

Packing, Moving, and Studying FAR
Ashley is a weekly NINJA CPA Blogger.
Hey everyone! Im just sitting here studying for FAR. The last few days I have been really busy taking care of things, but now I am back to studying.
Im getting a little worried that I am getting behind. I found out on Friday that I cant go back to work for the last 3 days, so I potentially wont be working until September 4th when school starts again. Ive been applying to jobs, but Ive been doing that since December
I have a lot to cover for FAR. I will do as much as I can until June 28th. If I can finish my whole review by then, that will give me a week to do straight Wiley MCQs.
If I am not even close I will push my exam out another week. I dont want to do this because I plan to take AUD 23rd (applied for NTS today) and I have to move on the 31st.
Im giving myself a week to pack, and move my whole apartment. I dont know for sure where I will be moving, but I will probably be moving back home until I can get a better job.
My plan is just to review the book and my notes. If I think I know the module, like inventory, I will go through the MCQ. Every assigned MCQ in the book and then a 30 MCQ study session with the testbank.
If I score around 70%+ I will move on. If I know I dont know it well, like present value bonds, I will watch the lectures and do all the other steps.
Does anyone actually feel confident going into FAR? There is just so much that could be tested. It depresses me if I think about it too much. Well, going back to my MCQ.
1 Comment
The fact is, FAR is a lot of information but the powers that be believes a CPA candidate can handle the workload. Others have passed it. You too can pass it regardless of your situation. You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice.

7 best power banks | How to charge your phone wherever you are – best power banks
Read our reviews of the eight best portable chargers you can buy for your phone or tablet. Simply, the best power banks you can buy.
Until the smartphone battery is radically improved, it'll be impossible to get a full day's work out of your mobile. This is annoying, but help is at hand in the shape of the humble power bank. A power bank is a portable battery. A gadget roughly the size of a phone that you charge from the plug, and then acts as a second battery for which you can charge your devices wherever you are.
Portable, stylish and oh so useful. Power banks are great. But not all are made equal. So here is our list of the best power banks you can buy.
Best power banks: Anker PowerCore 10000
The Anker's chief calling card is its low, low price. It is not the fastest charger or the biggest capacity, and it has no LCD screen, but at £20 it is staggeringly good value. Portable and stylish, it will charge your phone quickly without ruining the lining of your suit.
Click here to buy with Amazon.
Best power banks: Zendure A2
Less than a tenner more than the Anker is the Zendure A2. Another cheap but very cheerful portable charger. The Zendure is compact, good-looking, and fast. It's extremely durable and has a hefty capacity that allows you to charge a phone multiple times on one charge.
Click here to buy with Amazon.
Best power banks: Omnicharge Omni 13
Let's step up to a higher state of power bank – with a price to match. The Omnicharge Omni 13 will set you back more than £100, but it is worth every penny. It has all the bells and whistles, including and LCD that lets you know exactly what is happening at every step of the day. And there is pretty much nothing with a plug that the Omnicharge can't charge, or indeed take a charge from.
Best power banks: RavPower PowerStation Series 20100mAh Portable Power Outlet
The Omnicharge's closest rival is this beast from RavPower. Slightly cheaper, it offers similar levels of flexibility and power. But it lacks the LCD screen, and at this price that is a shame.
Click here to buy with Amazon.
Best power banks: Xiaomi 10,000mAh Power Bank
This brilliantly priced device is an absolute bargain. The £16 Xiaomi 10,000mAh Power Bank has similar power and portability to the top two power banks in this chart. Indeed, it ranks this lowly only because it is tricky to get hold of in the UK.
Click here to buy with Amazon.
Best power banks: DXPower Armor DX0001
Despite its relatively low price, the DXPower Armor DX0001 power bank offers a killer feature: it is rugged. You can drag it through dust and mud and it will come up smiling. It's even waterproof, so long as it is not charging – but then there aren't many plugs in the sea.
Click here to buy with Amazon.
Best power banks: CHJGD Magnum Opus
The Magnum Opus is the portable power bank for this who want lots of power for not lots of money. It's not the most stylish or portable charger, but it gets the job done and has additional features such as an LCD screen.
Click here to buy with Amazon.
So there you have it. Seven great power banks you can buy today. Portable charges for smartphones, tablets and more. Each of these power banks offers something a little different from the others. All come highly recommended.

Pre Ferments for Sourdough
Pre ferments make better sourdough bread!
What is a pre ferment?
A pre ferment is essentially anything used on the way to building a sourdough or other type of bread, which assists the leavening process. For example, a 'baker's sponge' is made of flour, yeast and water, and is a type of pre ferment. So too is a 'poolish', which is a very wet, lightly yeasted sponge. Another type of preferment is known as a 'biga', which is made like a dough, also with a small amount of yeast.
In this article, I'm going to walk through the basic sourdough sponge method. This doesn't include any yeast, except of course sourdough starter. It is especially useful if you are working with a dough starter, though it also enhances dough being made with a liquid starter too.

Hi there!
How can I get the time in and time out of the employees without any time in and time out identifier on the database. Say i only have the time logs of the employees and their shift on different table.
Table A Employee_nr Time Log ShiftCode 111 8AM A 111 9AM A 112 8:15 AM A 113 10AM B 111 5:45 PM A 112 6PM A 112 6:30PM A 113 6PM B *TimeLog column is datetime Table B ShiftCode StartTime EndTime A 8AM 5PM B 10AM 6PM

Before you get to a solution, let's clean up what you have presented.
You've given us some sample data, but the time fields appear to be indicating that you will be storing them as strings (given that, in some cases, you have a space between the time and the AM/PM, and in other cases you do not). So, the first thing you should do is to use one of SS date and/or time data types.
Which brings-up the next question, why are you not recording the dates along with the time?
Next, is this what is happening? . . .
Employee 111 is scheduled for the 8AM-5PM shift.
He checks in on-time for his shift.
He checks in an hour late for his next sift (presumably for the next day?)--this is where a date would com in handy. We also presume that he forgot to check-out for his previous shift?
Then, he checks-out for that second shift at 5:45?
Employee 112 is scheduled for the 8AM-5PM shift.
He checks-in and checks-out on his first shift.
He fails to check-in on his second shift, but checks out at 6:30 on that shift.
Employee 113 is scheduled for the 10AM-6PM shift.
He checks-in and checks-out on-time. But are they the same shift? (another example where date would be indispensible).Ken
