Hi all.
I'd like to request that Boxee's web service is extended to the point where you can access its graphical interface (or a simplified version of it) on any other computer on the LAN.
Here's an example of how this works on a TVIX player: (fast forward to 4:00-ish to skip the technical setup)
Notice how the thumbnails are re-arranged for the iPhone screen, so everything is kept nicely looking.
The reason for this request is:
- A non-screen installation of Boxee (like the Boxee Box, or a shuttle PC stored away in a server room) requires the TV to display anything.
- Meaning you have to turn on the TV to find a song or CD
- That's more trouble than just putting a CD in your 15 year old stereo.
With a web interface as requested, you can work on your PC, and quickly put on a new CD through the browser. Or you can chill in the couch with a laptop. Or from anywhere in the house, with your smart phone or iPad.
I realize there are smartphone remote controls already, but they - and even the bundled Boxee Box remote - still require the media computer's display (Typically the TV) to be turned on.
I think an installation like Boxee Box can't replace a regular CD/stereo installation as a music player until a feature like this becomes available.
Thanks for listening.
- Jonas

This is a super simple resource that you can use for anything. All you need is enough plastic page protectors and dry erase markers for your whole class.
I have found that there are some papers that we use on a regular basis in the classroom, but it bugged me to have to make/waste copies. So, in an effort to be green, I made a very small investment in a big box of page protectors. (I think I got mine at Staples for about $8 for 50) Tip: Get the crystal clear or diamond clear kind, not matte, they erase better.
So when we do an activity that needs a paper resource, but not one that the kiddos will turn in, we pull out the page protectors and slip the page in. It might be easier just to show you…
Other things that we put in page protectors:
- Fraction bars, Fraction Bars 2
- Place Value Chart (millions)
- Place Value Chart (Decimals)
- Decimal Squares
- Place Value Lines
- Writing Rubric
- …the possibilities are endless.
I also have a template of each of these on my SMARTBoard Notebook so that I can show them on the board too, check them out here: Math Templates.

We got this for my 4 yr old son for his birthday. He played gently with it about 2 times before it got a leak in the air chamber and about 8 times before all the water leaked out all over the floor. Not very tough for a toy made to be punched! Very disappointed!

Very Disappointing

Comments about Big Time Toys 42 inch Spider-Man Bop Bag:
The item didn't come with directions. So in haste, before my grandson arrived, I inflated it. Then, I realized that the water had to be put in first. Was able to deflate it enough to get the water in but it was a bit of a messy job, because it filled up rather slowly and the water didn't go directly in the hole. It only lasted about 4 days. Then, there was a hole on the seam. Even though a patch is enclosed, it doesn't help at all when the hole is on the seam.

not good

The bag is great in concept, if the kids could use it. We filled the bags with water in the bottom. They all leaked.
bad quality

won't stay inflated
By busy mommy
from New Jersey
This is an awful product! The only reason that I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is because my son loves it so much. I just finished blowing up my 3rd one and within 2 minutes it was partially deflated. There is something wrong with the seal where you blow it up and the air will not stay in...but like I said my son has never had so much fun in 2 minutes.

Waste of money
By mom of 3 boys
from Portsmouth, VA
I bought 2 of these for my sons for Christmas and they couldn't wait for us to blow it up. One lasted maybe 5 minutes and the water somehow leaked into the air chamber. The following day we noticed the 2nd one had done the same thing. So there went [$] down the drain. I wish I would've checked reviews before throwing my money away on such a terrible product (not to mention disappointing 2 little boys in the process!).

Grandson was so excited to use this, first wouldn't stand up; added more air, then leaked,had to throw out in less than a day. These usedto come with SAND in the bottom; maybe time to go back in time for this company, it's a good idea for active boys.
By Aloha mom

I bought this Bop bag by Big Time Toys LLC. Terrible, the moment we blew it up it had a hole. My poor little boy wanted it so i went back to the store for another one. And the NEXT one had a HOLE. I give up. Poor Manufactoring.

The Second Mile charity, once lauded for efforts to help at-risk youths, is now seeking court approval to formally transfer many programs to Arrow Child & Family Ministries Inc., based in Houston.
Sandusky, who founded the charity in the 1970s, was convicted last week of 45 counts in his child sex abuse trial. Prosecutors said it was through his charity that he met the eight accusers who testified against him.
The objection to the petition for distribution of assets was filed in Centre County Orphans' Court on Tuesday by attorneys representing accusers referred to in court papers as Victims 3, 5 and 7, as well as a 30-year-old man referred to as "John Doe A" who has filed a lawsuit in Philadelphia alleging that he met Sandusky through the charity in 1992 at the age of 10 and was abused over the next four years.
The attorneys argue that given that lawsuit and anticipated suits by others, "there is ample basis for believing (The Second Mile) will incur debts beyond its ability to pay." The filing says such debts "may readily exceed the total assets that (it) currently possesses" and notes that it "concededly has no ability to raise future funds."
"As (The Second Mile) pursues dissolution, the Court's first priority must be to preserve (The Second Mile's) assets to maximize (its) ability to pay its current and future liabilities," the filing said.
Meanwhile, the building that houses the charity's offices is up for sale. An online listing for The Second Mile's two-story office building showed an asking price of $750,000. A large "For Sale" sign covered the sign for the charity once visible on a busy street in State College, where Penn State is located.
Sandusky, who was charged with dozens of criminal counts related to 10 boys over a 15-year span, has maintained his innocence. Several former Second Mile campers took the witness stand at his trial on his behalf as character witnesses.
The $36 million charity operates in Pennsylvania, as well as Maryland, California and Honduras.
Arrow has said it hopes to hire all of The Second Mile's employees but will move them to new offices.

Cancer clinics turning away thousands of Medicare patients
Cancer clinics across the country have begun turning away thousands of Medicare patients, blaming the sequester budget cuts. Oncologists say the reduced funding, which took effect for Medicare on April 1, makes it impossible to administer expensive chemotherapy drugs while staying afloat financially. Patients at these clinics would need to seek treatment elsewhere, such as at hospitals that might not have the capacity to accommodate them. "If we treated the patients receiving the most expensive drugs, we'd be out of business in six months to a year," said Jeff Vacirca, chief executive of North Shore Hematology Oncology Associates in New York. "The drugs we're going to lose money on we're not going to administer right now."

I'm not ashamed to admit this, but if there is no football this year, I will cry steadlily for many days.
Broncos took a 3-4 pass rusher for a 4-3 defense.... excellent pick Denver excellent pick lol
Miller would have been a perfect fit for the Cardinals but no way could I complain about Peterson
Adrian Wilson, DRC, Kerry Rhodes, and Patrick Peterson.... BEASTLY secondary right there
The Fucking Bears made us lose a fourth round pick..Sigh
But at least my Ravens picked up Jimmy Smith .
An Easy Top 10 Draft pick that fell because of "trouble" off field.
It's all good though. Ray Ray will straighten his ass out right quick.

"Good Location if you don't want right downtown"
The hotel lobby was a bit deceiving to the maintenance of our room. the lobby was beautiful and very classy. The room was older, but well maintained. It was a good location if you want to be close to downtown and Opry Mills shopping.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice location...excellent staff"
In town for a weekend football game. Check in was easy and warm cookies are a nice touch. Room was a spacious suite and very clean and quiet.Genuine Expedia guest review
The appearance when you first walk in is great. The entry way is beautiful. But once you go past the lobby its just ok. Our hallway smelled of water and musk. There were two holes in the walls of the room. The door stopper had fallen off. We were told they would send someone down to fix it no one ever showed up. There were two ladies working the front […] desk that were just unpleasant and seemed like they hated their job. We only ate dinner in the bistro one time, we were the only ones eating and it took 20 minutes to receive our soup. This hotel is ok but definitely not worth the price.

"Helpful Staff, but not near dining"
The hotel staff was very accommodating and the rooms very comfortable with lots of extras. This hotel has a a good restaurant, but it is the only one around without having to get in a car and drive for miles, which is unfortunate since all the hotels on the street are close to the airport, so many visitors stay in that area because they don't have a […] vehicle.

"Disappointing overall experience"
Requests to clean room, bring toilet paper, television repair, etc. made with no response from staff requiring numerous additional requests; Television never fixed in living room; Lining in bath tub detached thus exposing old adhesive, dirt, etc. Carpet area around AC wet/moist adding to musty smellGenuine Expedia guest review
"Within 15 minutes of everything!"
So the rooms could use some updating, but if I could have fit the beds in my suitcase I would have taken them home with me. Best night's sleep ever in a hotel! Jon & Tina at the front desk could not have been more friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They were able to answer all our questions and made some great recommendations for food and sights. […] Having the restaurant in the hotel was convenient as were the computers and little shop in the lobby. Location was tucked away from traffic noise and very peaceful. The only real criticism is that they need exhaust fan in the bathroom. Would definitely stay here again! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Disappointing for a DoubleTree"
We have stayed at this particular Doubletree many, many times. I'm not sure what happened over the past year. The room smelled very musty when we came in. Almost like, perhaps, someone was using it as a smoking room and they tried to air it out. The bathroom was in need of repair. The tub was stained yellow and it had scratches in the tub. The wallpaper […] was peeling up in the bathroom. There looked to be something not so pleasant stained on the wall next to the full mirror as you exit the bathroom. The staff severely messed up my bill and I had to make phone calls afterwards to get it straightened up, then they had to call me back because they still weren't clear. The lobby was still nice and clean, it seemed as though they might need to be putting some attention into the rooms because for the price, you do have many, many choices that are close by. In their defense, I didn't say too much except for the room bill. I just know that I won't go back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Found this hotel to be reasonably priced and close to downtown.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice, convenient"
We like to stay in the Briley Pkwy area because it is out of the rush traffic in Nashville. Yet, the location is convenient to anywhere we plan to go. We were in Nashville for the weekend (Saturday night only) and our adult son was staying with us. The location is convenient I-40, I-65, and I-24, restaurants, and other activities; however, the hotel […] had all the amenities we really needed. The staff was extremely friendly, and the room was clean, roomy, and comfortable. We plan to stay there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

the people were very accomodating and nice, however, room was not ready.....had to wait an hour for a room......room had no A/C.....moved to second room......it had no a/c......moved to third room which was satisfactory. Overall it was a pleasant stay......not wonderful, but satisfactory.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Old but clean"
Room could have been nicer. Wall paper and such were coming off the walls and bathroom was really narrow. Old hotel but was clean and overall was ok. Took about 15 minutes to check in because of an overbooking problem with a guest in front of me. Probably would have gone elsewhere for the price comparing the room condition and such. Oh, and Internet […] was pretty much useless in the room. Had to connect in the lobby. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Overall Good Stay"
The hotel was a little dated, the furniture wasn't as modern as I thought it would be and my bed skirt had holes in it, and the hotel smelled damp as if there was a water leak recently. Overall my stay was enjoyable, my kids loved the pool and the staff was very nice and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Convenient to Interstate, decent rate, older prop."
This Doubletree wasn't up to the standards that they normally set. The property was dated and could have used an upgrade. The location, while geographically ok, was off several side streets w/ most of the parking inconvenient. The pool was decent, but they had plenty of room and should have installed a hot tub as well. The A/C had a hard time keeping […] the place cool as the curtains hung over the vents. Poor design, imo. Overall decent, but I expect better for a Doubletree. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice, quiet hotel"
This hotel was very quiet, very clean. The rooms were huge. We had a living room with a large flat screen tv and then there was a separate bedroom also with a large flat screen tv. Bathroom was about 3x the size of most typical hotel rooms. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on, and it came with plenty of pillows. Very, very […] nice for the price! Very quiet. The parking lot was full, but I didn't hear anyone in the halls or anything through the walls until in the morning during check out, and then even that noise was very minimal. Definitely would stay here again! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very enjoyable!"

"Enjoyable Stay!"
The room was super comfortable and clean and the staff were fabulous. The only thing I would recommend is a better restaurant. The food was decent but not comparable to the hotel at all.Genuine Expedia guest review
"By far the best hotel we have ever stayed in!!!"
We LOVED our stay at this hotel. The rooms are VERY spacious and clean. The bed was by far the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept on. It was great having a small living room attached to the bedroom....it felt like a studio amd not a cramped hotel room. Also....they had a phenominal breakfast bar that I would put up against any other hotel […] chain. Its the small details that sealed the deal for us.....the water pressure in the shower amazing and to top it off we got a delicious cookie when we checked in. We are going to stay again in November......cant wait. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"looking for an alternative"
We were looking for an alternative to the place we normally stay near the airport because it was starting to become run down. We enjoyed the Double Tree and would go back againGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Had a GREAT stay a speical thanks to ERICK he is just wonderful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
This was a great hotel, but it was a little further from the city than we wanted. We loved getting the free cookie upon check in and check out!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
In town for a family wedding. Very nice property and met all of our needs. Would have liked the bar to have stayed open past 11pm on Sat night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nashville Predators weekend"
The room was nice. This was our second time to stay here. The only complaint I had was that the hotel could use a little updating. The tub/shower needed to be re-caulked because the existing strips were blackening. We love staying in the airport area because its a little quieter.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"family stay for nephew's wedding"
had a nice timeGenuine Hotels.com guest review
We enjoyed our stay at your property very much. Every employee we encountered was friendly, professional, and helpful. Beds were comfortable and size of rooms was very nice and large.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice....but bathroom icky"
Room was nicely laid out and had everything we needed. The beds were made up nicely and very comfortable. Getting warm cookies at check-in were a nice touch, too. The only dissatisfaction was in the bathroom. The baseboard tile was popping off in many places, the picture hanging on the wall had dust caked on and the tub/shower surround was mildewy. […] We opted to take a shower at our destination. Since we were only staying for one night, we could work around it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not up to double tree standards"
We normally stay at the Double Tree downtown but it was completely booked. Instead of booking with another hotel downtown we booked the Double Tree near the Nashville airport and wish we would have chose differently. The only thing that resembled other Double Trees was the bedding and the toiletries they have for guests. The hotel is very out dated […] from the wall decor to the carpeting it w as not at all what I expected. We stayed in a suite on the 3rd floor which is suppose to be the nicest rooms but there were brown rings all over the ceiling, what looked to be mildew growing in the caulk around the tub and a very stained sofa in our sitting area. I must say the staff was extremely nice and helpful with anything we needed. We will never stay at this Double Tree location again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"girls weekend"
Breakfast was pricey, but convenient. Van ride downtown way overprice as the van driver made more than I make in a day to drive seven miles. Be carefulGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to airport but quiet"
One of the nicest hotels I have stayed at in Nashville. We wanted more room and got it here. Every part of the experience was great from the room, to the breakfast, to the staff. We were very pleased with how quiet it was to be so close to the airport. It will be one of my top pics for the next trip.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Copyright © 2013 Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma. Oklahoma Monthly Climate Summary 1 June followed its normal script almost to the letter with a rainy and stormy first half of the month that gave way to the beginnings of a long hot stretch of Oklahoma summer. Mother Nature did manage to throw in a nice improvisation at the end of the month with a cool front dropping temperatures into the 80s over much of the state. The previous heat was enough to end the state's streak of below normal months at four, however. According to data from the Oklahoma Mesonet, the statewide average temperature came in at 77.9 degrees, 1.4 degrees above normal to rank as the 34th warmest June since records began in 1895. Temperatures climbed into the triple-digits as early as May 3, but really got started at that level on the 10th. Freedom reached the month's highest temperature of 111 degrees on the 27th. While the average statewide rainfall total fell 0.6 inches below normal at 3.69 inches – the 56th driest June on record – there were still parts of the state that had some hefty rainfall totals for the month. Probably the biggest surprise was the small Panhandle town of Slapout and its 5.7 inches. Okemah led the state with 8.73 inches. Other areas of the state did not fare so well. A large part of southwestern Oklahoma had less than 2 inches for the month. Northeastern Oklahoma OklahomaClimatological Survey JUNE 2013 Oklahoma Monthly Climate Summary June 2013 Statewide Extremes Description Extreme Station Day High Temperature 111°F Freedom 27 Low Temperature 42°F Boise City, Hooker 2 High Precipitation 8.73 in.

Severe-to-exceptional drought still covers much of the western one-third of the state, and also parts of north central and south central Oklahoma. DAILY SUMMARIES JUNE 2013 JUNE 1: Heavy rains flooded portions of central and eastern Oklahoma early in the day and broke a daily rainfall record of 5.64 inches in Oklahoma City. Even though Mt. Herman, Stigler, and Eufaula received over 4 inches of precipitation, Okemah still managed to top them at 6.51 inches. Maximum temperatures were fairly warm, ranging from 90 in Altus and Tipton to 74 in Newkirk and Foraker. Minimum temperatures ranged from 49 in the panhandle to 69 in the southeast. Wind speeds averaged between 5 and 15mph for most of the state. JUNE 2: Temperatures were slightly cooler than the previous day with maximums ranging from 67 in the northwest to 87 in the panhandle. Minimum temperatures were between 42 at Hooker and Boise City and 59 in south-central and southeast OK. Despite the sunny afternoon skies clouding over in the northern half of the state, areas remained rain-free. Average wind speeds were less than 10mph. JUNE 3-5: Numerous showers and thunderstorms spread through the region during this period. Some wind gusts were severe, reaching over 70mph in Ellis and Beaver County on the 3rd and Garfield County (82mph) on the 5th. Rainfall amounts were between half an inch and .86 inches (Woodward) in and the western Panhandle were also particularly dry during the month. June's first day was merely a continuation of the tumultuous end of May. The tornadoes thankfully ended on May 31, but the flooding rains from those storms continued into June. More than 6 inches fell across parts of east central Oklahoma with more generalized amounts from 2-4 inches. Rain fell somewhere in the state on almost every day through the ninth, and again from the 15th through the 19th. The rains throughout the first couple of weeks allowed further reduction of drought according to the U.S. Drought Monitor report. Nearly 59 percent of the state was covered by some intensity of drought on the May 28 Drought Monitor, but that number dropped to 53 percent on the June 25 map. The

You will love life here. Briargate has been designed to provide the ultimate in comfort and convenience for its residents.
Known as the first location in the nation to have a shopping mall, you can shop 'til you drop when you come look for Kalamazoo apartments for rent. The Kalamazoo Mall, first built in 1959, is still around today and is mostly confined to foot traffic. The name Kalamazoo is derived from either the Potawatomi or the Odawa First Nations.
Once called Bronson, Kalamazoo officially changed its name and became a city in 1884. It encompasses 26 miles of land and is 50 miles south of Grand Rapids, Mich. There are more than 20 neighborhoods in Kalamazoo, six of them surrounding the downtown area.
There are a lot of options for housing when you start finding Kalamazoo apartments for rent, so be sure to take into account some of the options that each neighborhood has. If you're looking for a place to call your first home, Burke Acres is the place to be. It has moderate-income, single family homes and is readily accessible to the downtown area. If you're into older homes and historic architecture, Oakwood and Stuart are two of the oldest neighborhoods in Kalamazoo. If you want more modern Kalamazoo apartments within the central business district, try looking for your next home in the South Street Historic District.
Living in downtown Kalamazoo will give you exposure to lofts and condos, and many locals find the downtown spaces perfect for a home office or a great place to telecommute.
Kalamazoo has low rental rates compared to surrounding cities and the state of Michigan, and it's also fairly cheap to live here. Kalamazoo apartments for rent are much cheaper than apartments nationally, and there are lots of local amenities. The demand for residential space in downtown Kalamazoo is strong, but with so many surrounding neighborhoods, you'll find the perfect spot for you. Downtown is an ideal spot for students and younger residents to find Kalamazoo apartments, due to the access to bars and restaurants. However, if living directly in the city isn't your thing, the neighborhood of Edison is a good place to look for housing because it's fairly close to everything that the city has to offer.
Kalamazoo is home to Kalamazoo College, known as K College by the locals, as well as Western Michigan University. The city is a great place for students who want to find Kalamazoo apartments. Western students typically live on campus or near the Knoll neighborhood. Kalamazoo College is located in a quiet and residential part of Kalamazoo, but the city's downtown is a short walk or bike ride away.
Kalamazoo is a diverse manufacturing area, which continues to attract startups and commercial economic growth in the area. Currently, prominent industries include pharmaceuticals, plastics, medical equipment, fabricated metals, industrial robots, aircraft controls, chemicals and bedding plants. Some of southwest Michigan's top employers include Cytec, Flowserve, Abbott Laboratories and AT&T.

Dust = Work is getting done.
Get ready for some serious blogging. For those of you that tuned in yesterday many times only to see that nothing had been added, sorry. Played poker last night and blew off the Thursday post. You'll all be happy to hear that I was the big winner, easiest 50 buck I had made all week. After I get this post finished I have an interesting project that might be posted as the first ever video blog on this site. It could be interesting depending on how badly I mess it up.
Pictured is the 38' Northern Bay minutes after the holes for the air vents had been cut in. There will be two Vetus vents (www.vetus.nl) on either side of the wheelhouse. Most of the time the cubic inches of air intake would be half of the motor's horsepower. This motor's hp is 567 so it would need about 280 cubic inches of vent. The owner wanted to make sure that the engine would get plenty of air so there is 600 cubic inches of vent. At Clark Island Boat Works the customer is always right. The air will dump into the seat backs and be routed into the engine room. Delta T fans will be installed to assist in the moving of air.
This bench located on the starboard side of the wheelhouse, although primarily used for sitting, will hide the back side of the vents. It will also serve as another bunk for sleeping and hatches cut in the top will open up a large storage area. There is another bench on the other side of the wheelhouse (not pictured). This bench is made out of nidacore (www.nida-core.com), a plywood substitute. Lighter than plywood, waterproof, but much more expensive. 3/4 inch nidacore 200 bucks a sheet compared to 50 a sheet for plywood. Why does better almost always mean more expensive?
So I actually got some work done these past couple of days, with the boss back I could focus on boats and not have to worry about running the crew. Everyone is getting sick, I've managed to dodge it for a couple of weeks but my luck may be running out.
In other shop news: 36' Calvin = tank work, exhaust work, lifting rail finished, and new tank area ready for tanks. 38' Northern Bay = benches, more arch glassing, vent holes cut, steering system ordered (finally) Welding shop = fixed a shrimp cooker, started building supports for a ramp, and other metal type fabrication. 35' Repair job (I have to ask the hull style, its very unprofessional for me not to know what type of boat it is) = new windows in the trunk side, more gel on side decks, air box built in back section of wheelhouse.
Much better post than I expected, got lots done yesterday. Getting caught up one post at a time. Anyone that would like to step up for a "guest post" I would be willing to turn over the reins. Halfway home, and if I can get another post done by midnight I'll be closer to the end than the beginning. Check out the Vetus site they have lots of cool stuff, and if I'm not mistaken CIBW gets a mention on the Nida-core site.

In the Tuesday election, the Paint Valley ADAMH Board Levy, which saw defeat in the last election, came out victorious by a slim margin. Ross, Pickaway, Pike, Fayette, and Highland counties had a combination of 19,090 voters for the levy and 18,990 against it.
A levy for ADAMH failed last May, but generated 50.13% of the vote the second time around.

KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- If you heard some of Kirksville's emergency warning sirens sounding Wednesday night, you weren't imagining it.
Two of the sirens went off unexpectedly around 9 p.m.: the one in Brashear Park and the one next to Kelly Furniture.
The blaring sirens put several residents on edge.
Adair County E-911 Director Chris Killday told KTVO the phone at the dispatch center rang off the hook with residents either reporting the sirens going off or wanting to know why they were sounding.
KTVO also received a handful of phones calls about it and a few questions about it on the station's facebook page.
Killday said it was a malfunction of some sort.
They aren't exactly sure what caused them to suddenly go off.
She said the same thing happened about a week ago with the siren in Brashear Park.
Killday said the two sirens that the city is having issues with are two of the oldest in the city.
Kirksville has a total of eight emergency warning sirens.
Killday said a repairman is coming either Friday or Monday to look into the problem.

Final Score: North Carolina 79, (1) Michigan State 65
East Lansing, MI (SportsNetwork.com) - The unpredictable North Carolina Tar Heels used a balanced scoring attack in front of a hostile Breslin Center crowd to knock off the top-ranked Michigan State Spartans, 79-65, in the marquee showdown of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Kennedy Meeks led five North Carolina players in double figures with 15 points while J.P. Tokoto added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Tar Heels (5-2), who never trailed en route to an NCAA-best 13th win over No. 1 ranked teams. Brice Johnson added 14 points and Marcus Paige and Nate Britt netted 13 apiece in the surprising upset. The Spartans (7-1) shot just 36 percent from the floor and saw their 35-game home winning streak against unranked opponents come to a sudden halt. Gary Harris had a team-high 17 points, Adreian Payne went for 16 and Keith Appling added 13 for Michigan State, which has dropped seven straight meetings against North Carolina.
Final Score: (5) Ohio State 76, Maryland 60
Columbus, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - LaQuinton Ross scored 20 points and fifth- ranked Ohio State cruised to a 76-60 win over Maryland in an ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup between future conference cohorts at Value City Arena. Three other Buckeye players finished in double figures and Ohio State (7-0) shot 52.1 percent from the field while leading nearly start-to-finish. Sam Thompson added 14 points to the victory, with Lenzelle Smith Jr. contributing 12 and Aaron Craft registering 10 points along with six assists and five steals. Maryland (5-3), in its final season as an ACC member before its move to the Big Ten, received 19 points from Dez Wells and 15 out of Evan Smotrycz. Charles Mitchell posted 12 points and 11 rebounds in the loss.
Final Score: (7) Louisville 90, UMKC 62
Louisville, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Montrezl Harrell led a balanced Louisville attack with 14 points as the seventh-ranked Cardinals topped UMKC, 90-62, on Wednesday from KFC Yum! Center. Chane Behanan tallied 11 points and 11 rebounds -- eight offensive -- while Chris Jones, Luke Hancock and Russ Smith all scored 10 points in the triumph, Louisville's (7-1) second straight after falling to North Carolina on Nov. 24. Smith added a career-best 11 assists. Nelson Kirksey and Martez Harrison netted 14 points apiece to lead UMKC (1-6), which has lost three in a row. The Kangaroos, who entered the tilt third in the nation averaging 10.8 steals per game, had just five.
Final Score: (8) Wisconsin 48, Virginia 38
Charlottesville, VA (SportsNetwork.com) - Wisconsin one-upped Virginia's touted defense with a shutdown performance of its own as the eighth-ranked Badgers clamped down on the Cavaliers and rolled to a 48-38 victory in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The Badgers (9-0) also struggled but nevertheless put a win in the Big Ten's column by limiting Virginia to a horrid 23 percent shooting performance. Josh Gasser led all scorers with 11 points while Frank Kaminsky added nine points and 12 rebounds to help Wisconsin continue its best start to a season since opening the 1993-94 campaign with 11 consecutive wins. Bo Ryan also picked up his 300th win at Wisconsin, becoming just the ninth coach to win that many games at a Big Ten school. Virginia (7-2) held the Badgers to 28.8 points below their season average but simply couldn't get anything going. Leading scorer Joe Harris shot 1-for-10 from the floor and London Perrantes' eight points led the team.
Final Score: (14) Villanova 77, Penn 54
Villanova, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Darrun Hilliard scored 19 points on a career-high four 3-pointers, James Bell added 14 points with eight rebounds, and No. 14 Villanova continued its dominance over Big-5 rival Penn with a 77-54 victory on Wednesday night. JayVaughn Pinkston netted 13 points with seven rebounds and Dylan Ennis tallied 11 points off the bench for Villanova (7-0), which won its 11th consecutive game over the Quakers. Miles Jackson-Cartwright scored a team-high 17 points on 4-of-8 shooting from beyond the arc for Penn (2-5), while Darien Nelson-Henry finished with 12 points and seven rebounds in the loss.

Tyshawn Bell and Casey Walker each netted 14 points in the setback.

[quote author="skwelch"]I have another one of Ott's early trance releases, on a very old TIP compilation cd, I think the cd is just called the pink one?? cold be wrong though. I'll dig out the cd and let you know the track name.
No offence Ott, but you have improved beyond recognition since those days
That's the one called "Trigger Hippy" as I recall.
It was recorded in 1995 in one take, with Andy at the controls of my Roland MC-202, me squiggling the filter on my TB-303 and all the rhythm stuff coming out of the S1000.
I thought it was shit at the time but Andy convinced me it was a work of high art so after a couple of phone calls we traipsed off to Ladbroke Grove for a meeting with Raja Ram at TIP records.
It was the first time I ever met Raj. He looked like a busy label boss, striding round the office chattering away on three phones at once. Suddenly he put all his phones down and turned to us, smiled and said "Ok guys - gimme the DAT - I don't have much time."
So we gave him the DAT and he put it on really loud.
He listened intently throught the whole tune, staring at the floor and nodding his head in time with the music and when it finished he said "That's great lads. Five hundred?"
We looked at each other and then back at him and nodded in total amazement as he produced his chequebook and wrote us out a cheque for

Follow us...
Search the camping and caravanning website
You are here: Home > Faqs > Technical - Tents
If you need an answer from the Club there are several ways to find it.
Use our search to find an answer to your question.
If your question is technical we would recommend you visit our Help and Advice section where you will find a range of Data Sheets.
If you cannot find the answer to your question within this area, you can use our online enquiry form.
With modern polyester and nylon tents, it is not generally necessary to proof your tent on an annual basis. If you use your tent frequently, you may notice that when it rains, water is no longer forming into small balls and running off your flysheet, it is giving the fabric a wet look. This is due to the water repellent finish on the outside of your flysheet having been worn off (either through dissolving in rain, or rubbed of as you pitch & strike the tent). Whilst this does not affect the waterproofness of your tent, it may take it longer to dry. Hence the application of a water resistant finish, such as Storm Waterproofer, will restore the water shedding properties to your tent.
Having a good level of airflow circulating through your tent, will reduce the effects of condensation. Therefore, make sure all the vents in your tent are open. If you are in and around the tent, then roll the doors open. At night it is advisable to close the midge net door on your inner, but leave the fabric door partially open, as this will also help the air to circulate.
There is no right or wrong way of doing this - find a method that works for you, and stick to it. Remember to leave your inner tent doors slightly open before folding or rolling to prevent air being trapped inside; this also applies to flysheets with sewn-in groundsheets, and obviously fold or roll towards the door, to allow air to escape. Have the tent bag beside you as you fold the tent, so you know what size you are aiming for!
The simple answer, is as much as you can afford. Like most products, the more you pay, the more you are going to get. The important considerations are: How many people are going to use the tent, and how many bedrooms are you going to need? I would suggest that each person in a family tent will need a space for an airbed, which will be around 80cm wide for a single, and 140cm wide for a double, both are around 195 cm long. Some manufacturers use a little artistic licence when describing the number of people you can get into a tent, so check that you can fit in the required number of beds. What are the weather conditions likely to be? If you plan to use the tent in the UK in spring and autumn then you will need something that is both sturdier, to withstand the weather, and something that is a little larger, so that you can live in the tent when the conditions are inclement. If you are planning to camp near the sea, or in an exposed location, check out the guying system on the tent and make sure that it can be securely attached to the ground in readiness for that afternoon sea breeze or sudden squall. If you plan to use the tent in warmer conditions then you are more likely to sit outside the tent, but check the tent has plenty of ventilation options so that it is more comfortable at night. Don't forget that your budget may need to allow for items such as sleeping bags, air beds, a stove, chairs etc. in order to get the most from your holiday. Finally, seek the advice of your local retailer. They offer a range of tents and most are happy to answer your questions and advise what products are best suited to your needs.
Most reputable tent brands, will supply pegs that match the suggested usage of the tent, however, some will be supplied with pegs that are suited only for ideal ground and weather conditions. It can be worthwhile investing in a few, more substantial pegs to be able to deal with both soft and hard ground. This also has the advantage of providing spares, as pegs will not last for ever. Bashing pegs in with a mallet, hitting stones below the surface, tripping over the pegs, or standing on them, will bend them and ultimately they will need to be replaced.
A SIG is a sewn in groundsheet. This means that either the flysheet, or living area of your tent, will have a groundsheet permanently sewn in to it. This helps create a draught free, and insect free environment, inside your tent.
The simple answer is 'Yes'. Not only in direct sunlight, but also on bright days the fabric of all tents will degrade. The speed it will degrade is based on a number of factors; camping near the sea or at altitude will accelerate the speed of degradation. Some fabrics contain UV inhibitors to slow the rate of degradation. Some colours, particularly reds and purples, but not all reds and purples, degrade faster than other colours. Today most tents are tested for UV degradation, but the weather is not predictable and as such it is not possible to indicate how long a tent will last. In some conditions, a tent may last for 15 years, but the same tent may only last 6 weeks in say, equatorial Africa.
Contact your local camping shop or www.tentspares.co.uk, who will be able to sell you a section of the correct diameter. You can then thread off the damaged section, cut the new one to the same length, and re-thread it on to your pole.
Hydrostatic head is the measure of resistance that the tent fabric has to a column of water penetrating it. In other words, its waterproofness. When choosing a tent there are two considerations, the waterproofness of the flysheet and the groundsheet. The flysheet is exposed to the rain and the wind, but tests have shown that even in the worst conditions, a hydrostatic head of 800mm is sufficient to prevent rain being forced through the fabric. However, the level of waterproofness of a tent will fall as it is used, hence the lowest level I would recommend you purchase is 1,500mm for a flysheet. A groundsheet needs to be able to withstand much higher levels of water pressure as when you walk across a groundsheet or kneel on it, especially on wet ground the pressure can be equivalent to a water column of 3,000mm or more. Hence for a family tent, I would suggest 5,000mm is the minimum you should be looking for. In the manufacture of lightweight tents the waterproof coatings on groundsheets can be enhanced with additional finishes, such as a silicone treatment, or are reduced to decrease the weight of the tent.
Yes it is. All nylon tent fabrics, and to some extent polyester, will expand when wet, and contract again when dry. You can regulate this to suit the conditions, by adjusting the guylines, and anchor straps on your tent.

There are many references on delegation in the Getting Things Done book and in the Forums if you search on that keyword. We have not done any Webinars just on delegation, but it's frequently mentioned in any recording that talks about processing and organizing.
In our coaching and personal experience in delegating to others, we also encourage people to delegate with "enough information so it doesn't come back to you with questions." The Waiting For and Agenda lists are fantastic lists for tracking what you have delegated.

Just watched This is 40...I can't believe it's called this is 40 when the adults cursed like they were in JHS...Did a kid write n direct this? It should have been called This is not 40. It made me cringe at some of the exaggerated situations they did. Did anybody in the cast or crew think it went waaaay overboard? I think it would have been funnier if they to turned it down alot. I was looking foward to a good movie but turned out to be a disappointment for me.

At Econsultancy HQ, we're loving infographics in a big way. After all, what's not to like? They're great visual breakdowns of complex information, far better than standard data charting, and are often extremely creative in their representations.
by Jake Hird 23 July 2010 10:52am 26 comments
About six months ago, I threw together a blog post based on a bunch of social media infographics. At the time, they were surprisingly difficult to root out, but it seems that more are emerging, given the continued development and understanding of the channel.
I've now collected a few more newer infographics that I feel demonstrate a mixture of both hard data and strategy practices. Hopefully, they'll also provide some inspiration or can be useful in helping you with presentations or pitches. As before, links to the actual graphics are in the headline titles.
by Jake Hird 14 June 2010 10:42am 19 comments
Yesterday I noticed quite cool infographic being passed around online. Made by the guys at Trendstream, it maps social media access and involvement around the world.
I love infographics. I think they're a smart, creative way of displaying data in a way that's easy to understand and is engaging. I've also noticed that they seem to be becoming more common, permeating not only technical subjects, where they seem to have originated from, but other areas, such as mainstream media, design and of course, the internet.
So, inspired by the newest of social media infographics, I thought it might be useful to collect some of the better examples in one place as a source of inspiration and information. Links to the actual graphics are in the headline titles.
