text: 1. It does not mean you have to change the name of your church. While it has been the norm for churches to include the word "Missionary" in their name, many churches in recent years have chosen a variety of names in order to relate to their community or culture. In such cases we ask only that a phrase such as "a ministry of the Missionary Church" be included somewhere on the church's letterhead and literature for the purpose of avoiding deception and insuring proper identification. 2. It does not mean that you have to change the personality of your church. The leadership of the Missionary Church has clearly demonstrated flexibility and encouragement for churches to be unique in order to reach their community for Christ. While basic doctrinal uniformity is highly valued, throughout the Missionary Church there is much variety when it comes to the socio-economic make-up of congregations, style of worship, style of music, building architecture, etc. 3. It does not mean you have an intruding bureaucracy looking over your shoulder. There is a mutual accountability within the family of the Missionary Church, but there is also a trust relationship that is carefully respected. The local church under the pastor's leadership has a monthly report responsibility to the district and an annual report to the denominational office. The local church, however, is ultimately responsible to God for its integrity, honesty and faithfulness to biblical truth. 4. It does not mean you are an independent church. The Scripture teaches inter-dependence, not independence (1 Corinthians 12:12-26). Mutual accountability is not only needed among individual believers, but also among churches. The Missionary Church is organized so that each church governs its own local ministry, while at the same time having a voluntary submission to the counsel, guidance and authority given to district and denominational leaders. The district and denominational leaders are chosen by the pastors and representatives of the local churches. 5. It does not mean a bundle of new restrictions. On the contrary, you will be given a strong commission to be free, creative and aggressive for dynamic, outreaching ministry. Instead of being restricted or controlled, local Missionary Churches are to be unleashed with permission to adapt their methods according to the need which culturally relevant ministry demands. 6. It does not mean somebody else will choose your future pastors. The primary responsibility to contact pastoral candidates and, eventually, to select a pastor, is in the hands of the local church. The district superintendent works closely with the leaders of the local church, giving them counsel in the selection process. The D.S. is responsible to provide and approve pastoral candidates. The pastoral screening process includes a ministry background check and doctrinal examination, which further assists the local church in locating a suitable pastoral candidate.

You know folks, what matters is "109 million" monthly sets of eyes. Whether you like the business/traffic model or not doesn't matter. The fact that they have verified high repeat traffic has a value more than $1.25 per person IMHO. Try to get that rate or reach out of Adwords.
Repeat eyes have value and most importantly potential - if these folks can figure out how to get 100% return on their monies within five years, then will be kicking caboose.

I never realized that I was a Kraut until I lived in Italy. As an American, I always just blended in, so it never occurred to me to consider my ancestors as part of my identity. However, in bella Italia I couldn't order a cappuccino or board a bus without a perfect stranger speaking to me in a halting square-ish language that I discovered was German. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to discern the obvious.
At this point, I have lived here in Baltimore for close to fifteen years and I consider myself a connoisseur of local arts and culture, so it was with trepidation that I checked out the new Outpost Journal, a magazine entirely devoted to the local cultural landscape and written by New Yorkers. I expected the usual crab picking, Edgar Allan Poe, 'grit', and Natty Boh clichés, and was disappointed to find them prominently featured, but I also found a number of new, insightful, and surprising revelations which expanded my own understanding of Baltimore's creative culture.
For starters, who knew that Barack Obama's favorite TV character is Omar Little? (A man's gotta have a code!) Did you know that Baltimore was second only to New York as a port of entry for immigrants in the 1800′s? And, did you know the very first railroad station in the US was built in Baltimore? AND AND that the very same railroad station is the home to MICA's Sculpture Department? That's pretty cool. Less interesting to me was the official state sport (jousting) and official state crustacean (duh), but it was nice to be reminded of famous Baltimore alumni Billie Holiday, Philip Glass, and Elmo. I definitely appreciate well-researched random information.
After the introduction, the magazine jumps right into Baltimore's diverse cultural offerings, starting with a typically overlooked treasure, beloved by schoolchildren all over the state: The Great Blacks in Wax Museum. From there, Outpost veers into a lengthy interview with Twig Harper and Carly Ptak, founders of Tarantula Hill recording studio and band members of Nautical Almanac, with beautiful pictures of the duo and their home. Then the mag features twelve different Baltimore visual artists, a page a piece, with a short written text, images of their work, and quotes from each about their favorite Baltimore stuff. It's not deep, and most of the featured artists are the 'usual suspects' we read about all the time, but it's a well rounded group and I have no major complaints with their picks.
The art section culminates with two limited edition prints (how limited? it doesn't say how many were printed, and none are signed which seems weird) by Baltimore artists Gary Kachadourian and Shaun Flynn. They're both kept in a mysterious white folder, so opening that is pretty exciting. Kachadourian's piece is cool – it's a cut-and-fold Pepsi machine with a background, rendered in his typical drawn then photocopied style. Once you do the required cutting and folding, you have a little, gray, urban diorama. With the Flynn image, I was hoping for a drawing similar to his geodesic-tennis-ball sculptures to frame and hang in my kid's bedroom, so I was bummed that it's an op-art portrait. There's no title, so I don't know who is depicted in the black on yellow 'crackle paint pattern' image, which is photo-realistic when you squint. It sort of looks like Charles Manson, so it's definitely not a framer for me, but it's a fun design and seems to be well printed on heavy paper.
My main problem with the publication is an overzealous and busy sense of design that obscures rather than illuminates. Photoshopped square frames layer and dominate images which would be perfectly adequate without jazzing up, with several color two-page spreads reading as blurry, square targets. Every page abounds with three or four different type fonts, printer icons, giant numbers, and layers of text over text that is hard to read. Less is more in this department, Outpost Designers. I don't need the extra layers of text and colored boxes over the photos, which are quite effective on their own.
The most interesting section of the magazine is the feature on five creative living spaces: The Warehouse, The Storefront, The Rowhouse, The Penthouse, and The Millhouse. Each home gets two pages and features half a dozen photos, which are beautifully shot. The textures, colors, and assorted cool things in each home sum up the best things about Baltimore – the ability to live as a nonchalant, decadent bohemian, whether that means collecting a zillion vinyl records, expensive works of art, or creating a substantial home studio. It is every bit as interesting as reading Dwell or some other home magazine for nosy people who like to daydream about the possibilities for their own home. All the featured Baltimore spaces are palatial and have loads of charm and funky stuff, which beats a tiny Brooklyn apartment hands down.
Besides the emphasis on artists and creative living, Outpost Journal features a smattering of investigative journalism, with a piece on a knitting program for prison inmates that was inspiring as well as short articles on the Pinball Museum and the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death dioramas at the Medical Examiner's Office. Every attempt was made to be thorough within the mag's sixty-six color pages and I actually developed a new appreciation for many aspects of my city.
On the whole, the strength of this publication lies in an earnest desire to present a clear and multi-faceted picture of the place we call home, and this is done best through diverse content and mostly good photographs. It's an honest attempt to get at to the heart and essence of Baltimore, which isn't an easy or thankful job for anyone in this business. On the whole, Outpost Journal: Baltimore comes off as a warm and fuzzy labor of love. Despite being outsiders, the writers, photographers, and artists who put this publication together made a valiant effort to see and understand our city – and celebrate its "otherness" – and that effort is palpable on each page.
The one-city-a-pop publication is available at Atomic Books and The BMA Giftshop. For more info about the publication go to http://www.outpostjournal.org.

New Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary screenshots |
Listed in: PSP Tags: Eidos Interactive
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is the second Tomb Raider title for the PSP and is, as we mentioned earlier, is a reworking of the original PlayStation title, Tomb Raider. The game's already been confirmed for a May release by Eidos Interactive although our recently posted gameplay vids suggest otherwise, but whatever the actual release date is, it's still at least few weeks away. In the meantime, check out the screenshots below.

Why do they HATE PlayStation 3? —
2007-04-22 11:20
Why aren't they releasing this for PS3 as well, they've seen fit to make their games for the PS2 and PSP, even the 360 & PC. At the rate they are going, we will probably end up with a version of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary & Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Whatever-the-He||-the-Next-One-Ends-Up-Being-Called for the PocketStation before they show the PlayStation 3 some love...=(
2007-04-22 22:11
This was already brought up in an interview and they said they wanted to release it for PS2 because they knew the system so well. Putting it on PS3 would mean re-learning and re-making again which would make it delayed.
Spose I understand, Shame though.

OLYMPIA - Clam diggers have received the go-ahead to proceed with a razor-clam dig starting Saturday, April 25 at four ocean beaches.
Three morning digs are scheduled April 25-27 at Long Beach, Twin Harbors, Copalis and Mocrocks. Digging on all beaches must be completed by noon.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) authorized the digs after a series of marine toxin tests conducted by the Washington Department of Health confirmed the clams are safe to eat.
Dan Ayres, WDFW coastal shellfish manager, reminded diggers they will need an applicable 2009-10 fishing license, since April 1 marked the beginning of a new license year. A license is required for anyone age 15 or older. Anglers can buy a combination license or an annual shellfish/seaweed license. Also available are razor-clam only licenses in annual or three-day only versions.
"We strongly advise diggers to make their purchases before heading to the beach," Ayres said. "Morning digs are very popular, and no one wants to be standing in line to buy a license at low tide."
Descriptions of the various licensing options are available on the WDFW website at https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/ . A list of state license vendors is available at http://wdfw.wa.gov/lic/vendors/vendors.htm .
Harvesters are allowed to take no more than 15 razor clams and must keep the first 15 they dig, regardless of size or condition. Each digger's clams must be kept in a separate container.
Kalaloch Beach in Olympic National Park will remain closed because the clams there have not grown to harvestable size.
Dates and low tides are:
Locations of beaches scheduled to open are:

House Bill 3527, approved by the Legislature in early June, allows the Ariel Atom, a sports car manufactured by Brammo Motorsports, on the road. Starting next year drivers will be able to purchase a special registration tag limited to a 30-mile radius of the Brammo dealership or shop and a 90-mile radius of a racetrack. While the legislation will make things easier for Oregon owners of the Atom, of more importance to Ashland-based Brammo is that prospective buyers will be able to take a test drive. Out- of-state buyers from places like California, Washington and Arizona, where the cars are already street legal, also will be able to obtain a travel permit to drive the vehicle home. |

Some employers have embraced the use of employment arbitration agreements as a way to manage and mitigate the rising costs, risks and liabilities associated with employment-related claims. Historically, employment arbitration agreements require employees to present employment-related claims, such as employment discrimination, wrongful discharge, harassment, or claims for wages or compensation to an arbitrator, in lieu of proceeding to court.

Washington Courts: Press Release Detail2008 State High School Mock Trial Champion: Seattle PrepMarch 30, 2008 Seattle Prep's Blue Team took top honors this Sunday at the 2008 Champion of the statewide YMCA Mock Trial Competition. The team is now eligible to compete for the national title in Wilmington, Delaware in May. Washington Supreme Court Justice Mary Fairhurst presided over the championship trial in Olympia with two teams, each representing Seattle Prep of King County, competing for the statewide title. Seattle Prep's White Team is eligible to compete in the American Mock Trial Invitational to be held in Charlotte, North Carolina in May. Top ten finalists of the competition are as follows:
The Best Attorney Award went to Louis Brotherton of Seattle Prep, and the Best Witness Award went to Hanna Zetting of Lynden High School. For the Championship round, the Best Attorney Award went to Isabelle Albi, and the Best Witness Award went to Francesca Renouard both from Seattle Prep. A total of 20 high school teams from across the state competed for the title in a three-day, four-round competition this weekend at the Thurston County Courthouse, arguing the prosecution and defense sides of a fictitious murder trial in which a woman's mysterious death is blamed on her attorney, and questions arise as to whether authorities have a right to search garbage that has been placed on the curb for pick-up. This is the 21st year for the YMCA Mock Trial program, which began in 1987. Mock Trial is part of the YMCA's Youth & Government program, which for 60 years has helped students experience democracy in action. Mock Trial allows students to participate in true-to-life courtroom drama before real judges in real courtrooms, gaining an understanding of the law and the role of the judiciary. TVW, the statewide cable TV network that televises all oral arguments before the State Supreme Court, was present to tape the Mock Trial championship round and will televise it Tuesday, April 1, at 7 PM. The championship can also be viewed on-demand in web video at www.tvw.org. PROGRAM CONTACTS: Seattle Prep Head Coach Andy McCarthy, 206-931-1058 (cell); Judge Robert Lewis, Mock Trial Program Chair at 360-397-2226; Janelle Nesbit, Executive Director, YMCA Youth and Government Program at 253-370-1757 (cell).

My favorite educational app is Webber Photo Articulation Castle because it offers a fun way to practice speech skills.
Thank you for sharing this, Helen! Do you have the full version? I have been looking for something like this for awhile!
Yes I have the full version and I love it!
Phonics and reading with McGuffey
Stack the States -
Felt Board
Jeffy's World.
It is SO HARD to pick just one! I will choose Reading Raven HD.
Splash Math
I love the Teach Me series: Teach Me Toddler, Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade.
–Gena@ ichoosejoy.org -
I have to agree with Lynette and say the Splash Math apps…
BrainPop/BrainPop Jr.
Freefall money-coin math for kids by merger mobile was a great app for my first grader. She still uses the app. Was very helpful in teaching her about coin value.
I really love the improved See,Touch, Learn PRO!
Crayon Physics for us
My pick is Bugs and Bubbles. It is educational and fun!
I would have to say Brain Pop. My kids watch the free video everyday.
Stack the States – it is the one my son plays the most.
Splash math grade 3, Presidents vs aliens, math summoner
Touch & Write
I LOVED IEW's new app. Institute for Excellence in Writing has come up with a great, user-friendly app that has all their models, dress-ups, and openers along with preposition lists, ly lists, banned word alternatives, and examples. It's really good!
This past year the Splash Math: Counting Coins and Bills has helped a ton for two of my kids who struggled.
My pick is SimplePhysics
We really love the ITooch apps, great for math and especially great for english/language arts. Lots of variety in the questions and more then just pick the right answer. A little pricy, but I don't mind paying a little more for a quality product. A real gem.
Splash Math
Splash math apps, simply comprehensive in content!
See, Touch, Learn Pro
app "Mandalas" from http://www.smartphoneware.com for right brain training
voting for see touch and learn
See touch Learn Pro- has so much that you can use it for- it is a great app for all subjects!
itooch and stack the states.
Squeebles Spelling!
Wow,what a difficult task to narrow down your favorite homeschooling app amongst all the subjects, learning styles, and grade llevels available. Hands down the most informative and documentable is Splash Math. This is a very important feature if you are a parent who turns in a portfolio review to meet state requirements. Ned the Neron and D.Bones are excellent interactive anatomy apps. Sight word hangman and compound words are great for spelling and word recognition whereas SAT vocab is great for expanding vocabulary. Mulishani 's state or WW Capitals are great geography flash cards. Colorvacuum is fun for art. Don Quixote and The Plague are two fun books/ games for playing history. Finally, one game I do like for my 10yr. old son is Where's my Water. It's fun and strategy is needed to complete a level and maximize points.
Splash Math is awesome…worth the price for us.
social express has been our fav here
Splash math,JANES ABCs 123s
I have to say the Bob book apps for my preschooler. We have the books already but she loves to play the app as well. It helps reinforce what she is learning in trying to read.
It's hard to choose; there are so many great apps we enjoy! The "I learn with Boing" apps are ots of fun, but I think "Bugs and Bubbles" is our current favorite.
My son really likes "go there"
I am not very objective, but I will suggest Slate Math for kindergarten and first grade math.
Bugs and Buttons
My favorite app is Human Body by Chocolapps. We studied all the major systems!
Match 10 Puzzle … great for practicing sums of 10 and challenging for both adults and children.
Cell and cell structure is a great science app
Stack the States is what my 10 year old would say, it is good but this next app teaches it is more of a variety, plus I like the colors/images of Grammar Wonderland
Our favorite educational app is Starfall ABCs. My girls LOVE it! Thank you for the opportunity!
Second favorite app is Word Wizard, by L'Escapadou
Second favorite app is Motion Math: Hungry Fish
out of top 5, 2nd most favorite is Splash Math fun way to learn & practice math. Nice that I get emails, keeping me up to date on my children & they give me suggestions as well.
First choice – Brian Pop
Second Choice – Bugs and Bubbles -
Out of the top 5, my second choice is Splash Math.
Agnitus Learning Games for Preschool to Kindergarten is great.
Reading Raven gets my second vote….

Tennessee Titans: 6 Players Who Will Be Hardest to Cut
By (Featured Columnist) on August 27, 2012
121 reads
The Tennessee Titans have already made some preliminary cuts to the roster, and so far, there aren't any huge surprises. I thought Will Vlachos would make the practice squad, but no one else really had much of a shot.
However, they still have a lot of names to cross off, and some will be much harder to get rid of than others.
As the deadline to the 53-man roster moves closer and closer, which players will be the hardest for the Titans to let go? Here are six guys they won't want to part with, but they will have to in the end.
Note: For purposes of this article, I'm ignoring the practice squad. There's no telling who will and won't make it because teams tend to stack it with certain positions in mind more than actual ability.
Collin Mooney, FB
The Titans signed Collin Mooney right after his commitment to the Army was over, and he's been battling it out with Quinn Johnson for the fullback spot. Right now, I think Johnson is ever so slightly ahead of Mooney, but either of them could come out on top.
The team would not have signed Mooney if they didn't like him, and I'm sure that he could be a valuable leader and contributor to the team, but the truth of the matter is that there isn't room on the roster for two fullbacks.
Also, there is a good chance that the Titans will want to use their practice-squad spots on receivers and defensive players more than another fullback, so he may not make the practice squad either. The Titans won't like it, but they will probably have to cut him eventually.
Troy Kropog, OT
Joe Murphy/Getty Images
Troy Kropog has spent almost his whole career on the Titans' practice squad, only appearing in six games since he was drafted in 2009.
Unfortunately for Kropog, he doesn't seem to have overtaken Mike Otto as the backup left tackle, and Byron Stingily, the more recent draft pick, seems to be the favorite as the backup right tackle.
Mike Munchak was Kropog's position coach in 2009 and 2010 before he was promoted to head coach. He was probably the reason the Titans drafted Kropog in the first place. For Munchak, cutting a player he's come to know very well over the course of three years will not be easy.
Keyunta Dawson, DL
Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images
Keyunta Dawson has seen his name called a few times this preseason. In their most recent game, Dawson got three hits on the Cardinals' quarterbacks, even though he only had one tackle to add to his stats.
Despite the disruptive ability he's shown, the Titans happen to be pretty deep and very young on the defensive line. With Jurrell Casey, Karl Klug, Mike Martin and an improved Sen'Derrick Marks out front, and recent draft pick Zach Clayton holding on, there isn't room for Dawson.
It really is too bad, because I have liked what I've seen from Dawson this preseason. He's done well, but he just happens to be playing the wrong position at the wrong time to make the Titans' squad.
DaJohn Harris, DT
Frederick Breedon/Getty Images
DaJohn Harris, like Dawson, has had a pretty good preseason. Also like Dawson, he plays an unfortunate position.
Harris had three tackles against Seattle and a sack against Arizona. He has been pretty disruptive when he's on the field, but not enough to earn a roster spot.
What will make him really tough to part with, like Collin Mooney, is that the Titans went out and signed him as a free agent after the draft. They wanted him for a reason, but however much they like him, he won't make the team.
He's also a former teammate of Jurrell Casey, who played beside him at USC in 2010, so it'll be hard for Casey to see his friend and teammate leave the squad too.
Dave Ball, DE
Matt Sullivan/Getty Images
Dave Ball has been with the Titans for a while, and he was a very good rotational player as recently as 2010.
Finally though, in 2011, his age and his injury history started to take a toll. Ball only started in eight games and registered just four sacks. Earlier in the offseason, he considered retirement due to his many concussions.
However, he re-signed with the Titans for another year, only to be sidelined with another concussion.
Ball's career is over, and as sad as it is to say, he needs to retire or be cut for his own good before he causes himself any more permanent harm. If the Titans have to cut him, you can bet they won't like it; he's been with the team for four years.
Aaron Francisco, S
The battle for backup free safety is pretty neck and neck right now.
Al Afalava is younger and had a pretty good game against the Cardinals, while Aaron Francisco has more NFL experience and has been better overall in the preseason.
Both are vying for one of the safety spots that will be open due to Markelle Martin's injury. With Robert Johnson entrenched as the backup, and maybe even eventual starting strong safety, the Titans need a backup for Michael Griffin.
I think that Afalava will win this one. He's younger, he's closer to a free safety than Francisco is and he's the better player in my mind.
Still, Francisco was a pretty recent signing by the Titans' staff, and they clearly saw something in him that they liked. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough room for everyone that the staff likes, and so Francisco will have to pack his bags before too long.

(Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare: Oakbrook Terrace, IL) -- An estimated 80 percent of serious medical errors involve miscommunication between caregivers when patients are transferred or handed off. In addition to patient harm, defective hand-offs can lead to delays in treatment, inappropriate treatment, and increased length of stay in the hospital.

(The Joint Commission: Oakbrook Terrace, IL) -- The Joint Commission enterprise has launched a health care-associated infections (HAI) electronic portal that provides a wealth of HAI resources. The "HAI Portal" is a joint effort of The Joint Commission enterprise, which includes the Joint Commission Center for Transforming Healthcare, Joint Commission Resources, and Joint Commission International.
(The Joint Commission: Oakbrook Terrace, IL) -- The Joint Commission, a health-care accrediting body, and SGS Group, a verification, inspection, certification, and testing company, are joining forces to offer hospitals and critical-access hospitals in the United States the option of pursuing both accreditation and certification to various standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and industry best practice standards beginning in early 2012.
(Joint Commission: Oakbrook Terrace, IL) -- Professor James Reason, whose seminal work on human error has shaped efforts to improve health-care safety, will be the keynote speaker at the June 8–10, 2011.
(The Joint Commission: Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois) -- The Joint Commission's revised standards, rationales, and elements of performance for 2009 are now available online. The standards will take effect January 1, 2009, giving all health care organizations time to become familiar with the new language, ordering, and numbering. The changes are part of the Standards Improvement Initiative (SII) launched in 2006 as part of The Joint Commission's quality improvement efforts.

Dream Home Insulayment 100 SFT ROLL |
Dream Home Insulayment Multi-purpose underlayment with 100 square feet per roll. Insulayment is perfect for glued-down, nailed hardwood or engineered wood floors. It insulates sound* and cushions floors. It helps keep floors warm in winter and cool in the summer. All this with the added benefit of an antimicrobial structure. Meets or exceeds most condo associations' sound proofing requirements. Used under glue-down or nail-down Solid and Engineered Hardwood flooring. Approved for use over radiant heated flooring. *In order for any isolation barrier to be effective a certain amount of compressibility is required. Although the compression resistance and density are higher than most isolation barriers a certain amount of deflection is to be expected when installing a glue-down or nail-down flooring type. This deflection may cause a mild friction "floor noise", especially in nail-down applications. A minimal amount of "Floor Noise" is not considered a flooring defect. Please note this product is not recommended for nail-down applications where engineered or solid hardwood flooring is less than 3/8" thick. Click here for detailed information. |

Comments about Dream Home Insulayment 100 SFT ROLL:
Something changed in the last few years with this product. It works fine, but I noticed it is not as tightly pressed as before. This allows it to deform easier when installing.
The product is fine anyway. It just seemed obvious that some cost cutting has happened at the manufacturer.

Comments about Dream Home Insulayment 100 SFT ROLL:
I'm sure the guys at my local LL thought that my order was crazy since I was buying utility grade oak with high quality underlayment. It's worth it to invest in the foundation by screwing down the subfloor and getting high quality underlayment. I live in an 1800's schoolhouse with floors that creaked with every single step. After ripping up the glued down carpet and placing this underlayment there is no sound when the floor is walked on. This gave me good security for the utility grade oak that was a very honest choice to keep the floors of this beautiful old building looking original. The one suggestion I do have goes against something else another reviewer recommended. They recommended having the underlayment overlap by three inches and place duct tape. With my 3.25 inch planks, this caused the wood to ripple a bit right where the underlayment was layered. In other rooms I changed course by laying the rows side by side and using a manual stapler I've used for upholstery projects.

Comments about Dream Home Insulayment 100 SFT ROLL:
Takes no time at all to install. The best part is that if something comes up and you're not able to install your floor immediately, once the padding is down, it looks like you've done a full days work. :)
Best Uses
Comments about Dream Home Insulayment 100 SFT ROLL:
Rolled out easily. Tacked down at corners with staple gun to hold in place.
Initially, I thought there was an issue because one side looked shiny/slick while the other side looked a little different. Checked the product paperwork and there was no mention of one side vs. the other.
Worked great. No complaints. Dampens sound.
Best Uses
Comments about Dream Home Insulayment 100 SFT ROLL:
Go with the best when installing your new hardwood floors. This underlayment helps make the job easier. It does accomodate for minor imperfections in the subfloor, rolls out easy, is easy to cut to length, really does help reduce noise, and makes a difference in insulating the floor.
Yes, it is spendy, but if you only plan on installing your floor once, go with a product that is superior. After the floor is laid down, you'll have no regrets!
Best Uses
Comments about Dream Home Insulayment 100 SFT ROLL:
Used under 3/4" hardwood floor. Rolled out nice. Deadens sound well. Despite other reviews, I found that it cuts easily with a sharp utility knife (sharp being the requirement). Very difficult with a dull blade.

I'm in the process of installing 1,000sf of 1/2 engineered flooring. We decided last minute to float the floor and only glue the tongue and groove. Is this going to be a problem with this underlayment? I see in the specs it has instructions for a floating floor but I also see that it's suggested for a glue down or nail down application.1 answer
Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
Is this padding formaldehyde free?1 answer
Yes it is.Q:
The flooring (7"-3/8" engineered) I want to put down requires that it be glued down, for all practical purposes. I am assuming that I would put this down between my wood subfloor and wood underlayment. Or would I put it on top of my wood underlayment and glue my flooring to it???2 answers
For gluing down an engineered floor over this pad you will need to glue the pad down first (double stick method).CUSTOMER CARE
Generally engineered flooring that wide is floating type which would use an Underlayment such as Foam Underlayment, Eco Silent Sound, Bellawood Premium, or Quiet Walk.Q:
what type of underlays are needed for cemrnt floor when putting hardwood down1 answer
For complete Underlayment application information; Please go to our Website @ LumberLiquidators.com and at the bottom of the page click on Flooring 101, enter –Q:
can this be used over plywood under click bamboo? this was sold to us for this purpose, however, it does not appear to be in line with the manufacturers recs.1 answer
It can work fine under floating flooring however you are correct, the manufacturer designed it primarily for glue-down or nail down installations. You would be better off with Quiet Walk, Bellawood Premium, or Eco Silent Sound.Q:
We had Armstrong Allure installed in our basement, every plank curled up @ the seems, we were refunded. We want to replace the floor. What are the options for basement flooring, to prevent ?moisture issue/cold issues? We bought the Allure from Home Depot, and hired a contractor to install.1 answer
This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.Q:
how wide is this product 3 or 4 feet? Thanks Brian1 answer
What size are the rolls? 3' x 33.4' x 0.11"Q:
I am looking for an underlayment for engineered flooring that feels firm to walk on, not soft like many underlayments make floating floors feel. Does this one feel firm?1 answer
This is primarily used for nail or gluedown installation. It does compress slightly. Our firmer underlayments are Eco Silent Sound and Bellawood Premium Underlayment. These are used under floating, nail, or gluedown flooring.Q:
What is the IIC ratings on this product, if any? I live in a condo where I must adhere to a specific IIC rating standard so my neighbors below won't be bothered by noise.1 answer
Apologies. STC & IIC Ratings - Not tested.Q:
The installation guide refers to the use of glue to put down the product. Can I just use staples? I am installing 3/4" solid hardwood flooring over the insulayment.1 answer
The glue reference is for a double stick installation where underlayment padding is glued to subfloor and then flooring glued to padding.

"Nice hotel close to main highway and facilities"
The hotel has a great location. It's right off of the main highway and is surrounded by restaurants. The drive to city center is only minutes away with an easy understanding on how to get back. The room is in need of a little updating, New carpet and bathroom doors that close.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Room Rate says it all"
The room was in need of some repairs but was still quite nice for just staying a night and getting back on the road. Beds and room was clean and comfortable, staff was friendly and willing to help.Expedia 真实住客点评
WHEN WE ARRIVED WE FOUND OUR AIRCONDITIONER IN THE ROOMROOM NOT WORKING WE HAD OUR PETS WITH US SO THIS WAS VERY IMPORTANT. THE FROUNT DESK EXCHANGED OUR ROOM FOR A MUCH NICER ROOM AND THE AIRCONDITIONER WORKED WELLHotels.com 真实住客点评
"Expect to pay for two beds"
Only covers one (1) bed when you book double occupancy. You will be expected to pay extra if you want 2 beds. I found this a little deceiving as nothing stated "one bed only" when I booked the room for 2. It is a little noise as it is right alone the highway. Other then that I liked the Motel and would stay there again.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Excellent service from staff"
Good stay. Friendly helpful staff. The be was a bit hard and the air conditioner was ineffective, but overall good night sleep.Expedia 真实住客点评

"Not worth the money"
For the money they charges I would expect much better. We would not stay there again.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Location suitable for travellers"
Our stay was suitable for one night. Had we been staying longer it would have been very difficult. The room had a very foul odor, we kept the window open which helped but when we went out and had to close the window, it made the smell stronger. The pool was dirty, and extremely cold, there were no towels available, even though you are instructed to […] not use the room towels. both my daughter and i had to run across the parking lot to our room soaking wet at 8:00 pm. The carpet is in desparate need of cleaning or replacement. I could go on but will stop here. The price was okay, but I would find it very difficult to stay there again without there being so major work done. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"more $$ at the door"
had to pay extra for our 2 bed room--which was not evident in the description expedia gave us.(it said 1 queen or 2 queen for the same price) we didn't argue with the clerk about this. also had to pay extra for a pet. Otherwise--nice pool and hot tub and clean, quiet room.Expedia 真实住客点评

didnt expect much thats what we got.lights in the sink area didnt work washed in the dark..office locked..Expedia 真实住客点评
"No a/c"
I did not know that there are hotel rooms anywhere in Canada that did not have a/c. The air in the room was bad but the fan provided did not work, I did have the office replace the table fan. The shower had a high pitched shrill that hurt my ears. The computor in the office did not work and when they fixed it there was no printer available. There were […] several stains on the carpet and the couch. We had a suite but it did not have a microwave...really no microwave. They are like $59 at Wallyworld! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Basic, clean"
Our room was very clean and tidy and comfortable. No issues - it did the job for one night in Kamloops. The only remotely negative thing I can say is that it wasn't particularly cheap.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Econolodge Kamploop,s BC"
I found the room was clean looking but did have a stale smell. The woodwork in the bathroom was scratched and lacking paint. The inside of the window was dirty - hab been sprayed with something but never cleaned?? I suggest to the owners to do some updating / painting soon.!! Although there is no smoking in the rooms (supposedly) they have ashtrays […] right out side the door. ??? The whole complex needs some attention - dlower beds, pavement, stairs, windows I liked the fact that I requested a room away from highway and that was accomplished. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

I think this is most surely the game because 94 [when the Pilot was filmed] was the miserable strike season, and the giants hosted the braves only ONCE all year, May 30-June 1. This was Monday-Wednesday series, tuesday and wednesday were night games, drawing less than 30,000. May 30 was a day game, Memorial Day I assume, and the crowd was just about 40K [39,348].
Well, I find it a bit odd that they had Cleavant singing a "humorous" anthem on memorial day, but its san francisco after all. I don't remember seeing anybody actually figure out what the game was, but I could be wrong of course.

Date: | Wed, 25 May 2005 23:20:32 -0700 |
I like the idea of an .mt-attrs approach because the binary'ness of a file is a property of the file, not something that different people should have different ideas about (a'la hooks). I don't have particularly strong feelings about the right way to help monotone automatically figure it out for you, but I do feel strongly that there should be some way to explicitly tell monotone to treat a file as binary and have it do the right thing from then on. thanks, -emile On Wed, 2005-05-25 at 21:09 -0700, Nathaniel Smith wrote: > On Wed, May 25, 2005 at 12:33:04AM +0200, rghetta wrote: > > If the hook returns nil, the file will be treated as binary if the > > monotone function guess_binary() returns true, i.e. if the files > > contains NUL bytes or a selection of other ASCII control chars (for > > example, STX and ETX). > > Another possible way to do binary support, for discussion: > -- have the merger peek at .mt-attrs, and if a "binary" attribute is > set on a file, consider it binary.

A Response to the Dialogue on What is the Meaning of a Grant?
July 22, 2005
by A. Keith Whitaker
The following essay was prepared in response to a discussion on the relationship between grantors and grantees in philanthropy—part of a series of six discussions entitled "The Dialogues on Civic Philanthropy: Perfecting Our Grants" (2005-2006). By clicking the links to the right, you can access more information on this series, learn about the Dialogues project as a whole, read other prepared essays, and download discussion transcripts.
WHAT IS a grant? There seems a startling diversity of answers: A grant can be a contract, with clear duties imposed upon both the grantor and the grantee. Or it can be an investment, in which the grantor seeks a "return" in a more robust common good. It can be innovative and strategic, or cautious and traditional. It implies some favor, and hence grace; but it can carry with it a host of demands and rules. And yet many grants resemble "free gifts."
Some people aver that these conflicting views of what grants mean reflect a salutary variety among grant-makers, grant-seekers, and the needs they seek to address. But even though they may praise this diversity, almost everyone involved in philanthropy also seems to agree that there's something wrong today with the general relationship between grantors and grantees. The roots of this problem stretch deep: the distance between the haves and the have-nots, the mistrust this distance engenders, the pride evinced by those who think having gold gives them license to rule, and sometimes the pride of grant-seekers who think that their need alone gives them the right to tell others how to spend the resources in their care. In the world of grantors and grantees, few people know just where they stand or exactly what they're doing. Our confusion about what grants mean connects closely to our misgivings about grantor-grantee relations.
More and more grantors and grantees today embrace professionalism in order to put this uncertainty to rest. But, in my view, the turn towards professional or "institutional" philanthropy largely exacerbates rather than ameliorates these ills. Professionalism does respond to a real desire, among grantors, to show that they are "objective," that they make their decisions using their "heads" and not their "hearts," that, in other words, they are using their tax-advantaged dollars to advance demonstrable public goods rather than private "whims." It also allows grantees to show themselves as "business-like" and efficient. At the same time, however, this professional stance tends to focus both sides on process rather than their own or others' needs; it encourages coyness or even dishonesty in both grantors and grantees; and, in general, it stifles private initiative under a bureaucratic, "play-it-safe" mentality. In the end, the desire to prove "impact," which fosters professionalism, conficts painfully with an even deeper desire: to heal humanity's rifts and create flourishing communities.
There is another way. It does not require that we become unprofessional. Instead, it asks that we move to a richer, more encompassing standard than professionalism: the standard of friendship. Friends do not make "grants" to, "investments" in, or "contracts" with one another. Instead, they share. In its best case, that is what I see a grant as: one form of sharing among friends.
To understand philanthropy as friendship requires a surprising move: it demands that we focus on the needs of all the people involved in any philanthropic community. Most of the time we focus on what they have: grantors have money, grantees have expertise, and charitable recipients have, at the least, d

Friendster Revamps Website to Target Asian Youth
Social media site Friendster launched a new brand and web site signifying the company's evolution to focus on the Asian youth market. The notable changes include a new logo according to the company, and a redesigned web site with an emphasis on local relevance. More than 90 percent of the web site's daily traffic comes from the Southeast Asia region. Roughly 80 percent of Friendster users in Asia are aged between 16 to 24.
The company claims the redesigned site is a clean, simple approach to sharing, communication and self-expression. The new design also places emphasis on those features such as shoutouts, profile personalization, photo sharing, games, finding friends, and messaging.

Atangana, A.R.; Asaah, E.; Tchoundjeu, Z.; Awono, A.; Schreckenberg, K.; Leakey, R.R.B.
Studies were done in order to assess variation in fruit size and weight, nut size and weight and determinate relationships between these characteristics and price using 149 samples of Dacryodes edulis fruits from three markets at the peak of season in Cameroon. 50 samples per market in two markets (Mfoundi market [Yaonde] and Makenene centre market) and 49 samples in Makenene East market were bought randomly from traders. The measurement of 10 characteristics of 24 fruits per sample identified significant variation in fruit size and weight and nut weight in each market. Fruit price was found to vary with flesh mass, fruit mass and fruit size in retailers markets while wholsalers don't take into account fruit variability. In contrast, pulp price per kg was negatively correlated with flesh weight in wholesalers' markets. The most frequent skin colour was "georgetown lime" (29A7 in the Methuen colour code) and the most frequent flesh colour was violet (18D6 in the Methuen colour code). From this study, Dacryodes edulis fruit ideotype fetching highest price in the retailers markets is characterized by length, flesh and fruit mass and white skin colour.
