I started asking around for an alternative solution other than the primitive file management tool and the data back-up option. Well, I did find one great way to do the job for me.
Hard drive Imaging (also known as hard drive cloning for some people) is one way for us to make a complete backup of all the contents of our hard drive without the need to completely format and install new programs to our PC. Yeah! When I say all of it, it means from your OS (Windows) up to your beloved apps and your monstrous amount of files. Just as I have!
It is a software that will create a snapshot of the whole content of our drive with the option of storing it for future use or immediately copying it to another storage device for immediate use. All of these can be done in just a matter of minutes but may vary based on the size of data to be "imaged" to a succeeding storage disk. Still! Faster than backing it up!
Aside from the cool feature of fast transfer, hard drive imaging programs present various features as follows:
- An option to copy between partitions or whole disks
- Data recovery options that will fix bad sectors and lost system files
- Data compression for the imaged disk for archiving and storage (smaller file than a full back-up using a back-up program)
- Network- wide implementation if you want to clone multiple computers (I used this feature when I still have my I-Cafe biz back then! Cost me less down times for my business.)
- Imaged disks can be mounted using its own disk mounting tool or another similar software
You might want to check out some of the web's "free" softwares to do this trick:
- EASUS Disk Copy
- Clonezilla (Linux based) bootable
- Parted Magic

CHARCUTERIE DEPT. about sausages. For too long, sausages were considered humble fare. Recently, though, they have attained a higher status. Sausage-making was practiced in ancient Egypt and became a thriving industry there during the late Byzantine period. The writer appreciates fresh sausages, but her heart belongs to the traditional bologna and salami types that are ready to eat. Most of these are difficult to find. The goose liverwurst that she loved in Hamburg, Germany, continues to elude her. Mentions Peter Grünauer and Kurt Gutenbrunner. One of the best sausages the writer has eaten was in Italy, sliced from a peppercorn-studded, rose-pink pork mortadella that weighed two hundred and seventy-one pounds and was nearly five feet long and eighteen inches wide. The staggering diversity of Italian sausages includes hundreds of provincial specialties. Some are reproduced in New York for Cesare Casella, of Salumeria Rosi. Mentions Christopher Lee and the restaurant Il Buco Alimentari. France's charcuterie includes an array of sausages similar to Italy's rustic specimens but with more subtly restrained flavors. Describes how difficult it is to find good hard, dried kosher beef salami in New York.

text: Since 2004 Road Dog Customs has been dropping, flaking, striping, and ape hanging just about every Harley that rolls into its Santa Fe Springs, California, shop. Road Dog has also been pinned as being one of the shops that created the "Vato" or "Homeboy" look that started in Los Angeles with the Harlistas (slang for a Harley enthusiast of Mexican-American heritage) and has since grown across the USA, Japan, and Europe. Road Dog's shop painter, known as Sonny Boy, is a young gun, but his personality exudes being more of an old school kind of guy. Knowing that bit of info, it was no mistake that his take on this '81 Shovelhead perfectly combines the essence of the old and the current two-wheeled Lowrider look. Sonny is a very talented painter that can handle shooting raked '70s choppers just as easily as the latest big-wheeled bagger, so this bike was built to showcase the many skills he possesses. The bodywork is also a highlight of this bike. Sonny molded the fenders and gas tank like a '60s custom car. For the final finish, Sonny flaked them with bass-boat silver and finished it off with his own custom mix of root beer candy. Sonny then applied the graphics, which are somewhere between flames and scallops, then topped it all off with a ton of aggressive hot rod-style pinstripes to complete the look. Up front, no real Harlista would ever be caught dead without a pinner Avon white wall tire stretched over a 21-inch wheel. Sonny upped the ante by adding a chromed-out 40-spoke wheel with twisted spokes from Drag Specialties. Out back the bike rolls on a matching 16-inch twisted spoke wheel with a gangster Avon whitewall. The Italian-made Kustom Tech juice rear drum adds to the nostalgic feel. One of the mainstays of the Lowrider look is fishtails, and Sonny added his own twist with a set of handmade pipes with custom cut tips. Another take on the classic was the custom "Bull Bars" that the guys at Road Dog also bent up. Though the bike has had a massive makeover, it still possesses many classic real-deal Harley parts such as the pogo seat, oil tank, and nacelle. That is all fine and good, but the full-custom parts that make this bike shine are the '40s Chevy taillight, Kustom Tech rear juice hub and license plate mount made by none other than the boys at Road Dog. The engine is the same '81 Shovelhead that was rebuilt in-house by Road Dog and while the cases were cracked, they punched it out to 93 ci. The H-D powerplant also sports a Goodson Air Cleaner for better breathing and a vintage magneto. In the transmission department, the bike is a classic kick-and-electric start cycle and Road Dog also rebuilt the original four-speed tranny with beefier gears and hardened shafts. The bike also has a foot clutch by Energy One connected to a vintage-looking tank shift topped with a one-off pearl-escent knob. Between customer builds and Road Dog's daily repairs and service, the bike took countless hours to build. So many that Sonny and the crew lost track of the assembly time about halfway through the build. Nonetheless the ends justified the means, and the bike ended up being a V-twin testament to living the Los Angeles lifestyle. And as Sonny explained it to us best: "This is the kind of thing you earn, not buy." Fakers need not apply. Molding, flake, and pinstripes all add up to one massive amount of coolness. "...the bike ended up being a V-twin testament to living the Los Angeles lifestyle." The bike features '60s style molding/graphcs. 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Jeff G. Holt Enjoyed this Post?

Tribal Child Support: Similar but not the Same
December 18, 2012
Employers familiar with the child support program may be surprised to receive an income withholding order from a tribe. Forty-five American Indian and Alaska Native tribes operate federally funded child support programs. The American Payroll Association's September 2012 issue of Payroll Currently shares information about tribal child support programs and what employers need to know about working with them.

From Resource Magazine: "Hector Rene enlisted in 2007 and, not long after boot camp, he celebrated his twenty-first birthday in Iraq. He has traveled all over the world as a U.S. soldier, and while some soldiers wish to quickly get through their service time, Rene has used this opportunity to document the world unfolding around him.
The reality of the American military and the lifestyle of a soldier have clearly been separated by the media's portrayal of these heroes. Distancing the public from a true insider's view of these institutions, Rene has focused on documenting his surroundings as well as developing more artistic concepts of what he's experienced. His work includes the iconography behind the military, the day-to-day life of a soldier and the dichotomy of what it means to be a soldier in modern times. Today, we connected as he just re-enlisted this spring for a second term.
What are some of the topics at large in your work and what are the "real life" details that you like to focus on?
I take photos of people, places and things in an attempt to provoke a dialogue that confronts, challenges and juxtaposes the general notions of what it means to be an American. I hope not to answer any questions, but to raise the questions that have been excluded from the conversation.
Some of my photos have been on the Army webpage, or accompanying articles I've written. Those are more utilitarian and function as a visual communicator or news coverage. But what compels me to make a particular photo is where I begin to put my two cents in. The politics of it all is what fascinates me—the military as means to a certain way of life. I typically photograph the demographics I identify with: Latinos, immigrants, Veterans and the working class. I like to use the camera as a way to explore and document my own American identity as well as that of others..." (For the full interview and photos, click here)

Accelerating downloads with Trickle
Is your Internet connection groaning under the load of too many simultaneous downloads? If so, try Trickle, a simple application that gives you more granular control over network traffic.
High-volume downloads can make simultaneous interactive connections practically unusable. Just like in the bad old days of modems, users press keys and then wait for seconds for the server to finally echo the character on screen. TCP/ IP needs enough free capacity in both directions. No matter whether you are uploading or downloading, packets still travel in both directions. The device at the receiving end of the download is expected to acknowledge the receipt of every packet it receives, and obviously the receipt travels in the upload direction towards the source.

It's also easier to make the driver a scapegoat (throw him under the bus) instead of doing an investigation on why the software failed to activate the breaks. That's what the Soviets did - even when failure was clearly caused by faulty equipment, they blamed the operators; if the operators got killed, this was even better because they would not try to demand a real investigation.

South Carolina?? That's not close to Ohio :( Oh well, sounds like a fun new adventure!!
I love your costumes from the past few years lol...too cute :) I never really got into Halloween as a kid, we always borrowed costumes from my cousins or used play-clothes to make costumes and stuff (also lack of costume funds). But last year was the first time I went to a party ever, so I dressed as a candy corn--I made a sandwich board out of posterboard and painted it like a candy corn! It was awesome and I might do it again this year because I loved it so much, lol.How exciting! David and I just moved to North Carolina...but we're 1 mile from the South Carolina border! On the Western side of the state. How exciting!
David and I were going to dress up last year for halloween....it was our first one being married! I had awful over the top makeup, teased hair, on and a dress that a 40 year old housewife would wear and I had trophies in hand....I was a trophy wife...get it?! haha. And David was just going to draw a 6 pack on him and lift his shirt up every now and then...he was going to be the Situation.
But then David got sick and we had to cancel. wamp wamppp!My husband knows I just want an excuse to wear a cute dress and heels, so I asked if we could go as a Stepford couple. He just chuckled, but he said yes! I have plenty of heels...just need to find the right dress ;) He's going to wear khakis and a button up and we'll probably find him some glasses to complete the look
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how I feel about this South Caroline nonsense... it's not Florida. ;) No actually S.C. sounds pretty darn nice. I say dress up if you want to... even if you don't know anyone! I'm not sure if we're going to do anything for Halloween this year... we're probably both working or something. Who knows.
ReplyDeletehaha-he totally scored points for those tights! You need to dress up!! I LOVE the paper, rock, scissors!! I've decided...I'm going to be the Coppertone girl. Ha! Not sure what Beau will be...unless he wants to play the dog biting at my butt he's on his own this year lol.
A couple years ago I was a hunter and he was my deer...lol. (Semi goes with my "fashion" post from today huh!?)
I will now be replying to comments right here on this thread! wahoo! And even if I don't get to your comment, please know I read every single one! I also always answer emails! firstname.lastname@example.com

Feeding Directions:
Feed two (2) to three (3) times daily the amount your fish will completely consume within about two (2) minutes. For smaller tropical fish more frequent smaller feedings are best. Remove all remaining food after the feeding period to avoid over-feeding and the water quality problems which can result from this action. Tropical fish often resist a new type of food when changing their diet, continued use will ensure acceptance.

HOT CHOCOLATE: West Africa's climate may become too hot to grow cacao--the source of much of the world's chocolate supply.
Image: flickr/miss604
Climate change could destroy West Africa's cocoa farms, disrupting domestic and international economies, experts say.
By 2060, more than half of the cocoa-producing countries in the region may be too hot to grow the crop, according to a report released by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture. If scientists can't engineer a drought-resistant cocoa tree, the international market will see a significant increase in prices, and West African nations may experience a spike in poverty, drug trafficking and food riots.
"Hopefully, Ghana or West Africa is able to adapt to climate change to maintain their cocoa production," said Peter Laderach, a researcher at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture. "People will continue eating chocolate. If they don't produce it, someone else will."
Worldwide, the cocoa industry is a $5.1 billion market, with West Africa growing more than half of the 3 million tons sold annually, according to the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF). Ivory Coast and Ghana are the two largest producers, but rising temperatures will make it difficult for these countries to hold on to that lead.
The cocoa industry is already reporting an estimated 1.5 million ton shortage by 2020. And El Niño weather patterns forecast for later this year could exacerbate the issue, as severe weather alters growing patterns, according to Coffee and Cocoa International, an industry publication.
While supply decreases, global demand is projected to rise. The United States and Europe have always been large buyers, but now that China and South Korea are also investing in cocoa products, market competition will only intensify, said Mbalo Ndiaye, the director of the WCF's West Africa office.
Such scarcity has had a profound effect on industry pricing. In 2000, cocoa cost $714 per ton, but by the spring of 2011, it was at a high of $3,775 per ton, according to Coffee and Cocoa International. Higher prices don't necessarily trickle down to farmers, whose abject poverty prevents them from making long-term plans to compensate for increased temperatures.
"We're dealing with some of the poorest countries in the world ... where there's political instability," said Elan Emanuel, a supply chain manager at Fair Trade USA. "Climate change is the least of their worries."
Problem for big companies and small farmers
Yet it's one of the main issues for manufacturers worldwide. Chocolate is used in a variety of products; lotions, body washes and even cosmetics contain traces of the bean. It's also a culturally significant crop for many countries. About 5.5 million cocoa farmers rely on the business for their livelihoods, passing down small family farms from generation to generation, Ndiaye said.
"We've been growing cocoa for years," he added. "It dated back from the colonial era."
However, cocoa didn't begin as a West African tradition. According to the WCF, it was the Mayans in South America who started the trend, using cocoa in rituals and assigning it a monetary value. Ancient texts show that a horse could be purchased with just 10 beans.
When the Spaniards conquered the Western world, Mayan infatuation with the bean jumped the Atlantic Ocean and spread throughout Europe. By the 18th century, countries around the globe wanted a taste of "theobroma cacao," or "food of the gods."
The bean hasn't lost its popularity, which is why conservationists are working to improve farming conditions in West Africa. Organizations have launched programs that teach landowners how to shade their cocoa trees and lay down ground cover to increase soil moisture. However, these methods will have only a minimal cooling impact. In the long run, no amount of simple adaptation methods will be exceptionally effective against rising temperatures.

Oft-fined Suh sleeps on NFL invitationTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | October 24,2013ALLEN PARK, Mich. Ndamukong Suh asked for and was given a chance to meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to talk about his play two years ago.
Now, the league wants to discuss Suhs discipline-filled season with the Detroit Lions defensive tackle and he hasnt decided whether to accept the invitation.
I dont know yet, Suh said Wednesday. I have had brief discussions with my agent and GM. Im really just focusing on Dallas. Im not really concerning myself with that, just yet, until the bye week comes.
Detroit (4-3) will have an off week after hosting the Cowboys (4-3) on Sunday.
Suh was fined last week for a second time this season and the seventh time in his four-year career, docked $31,500 for a hit on Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden. Suh was fined $100,000 for an illegal block on Minnesota Vikings center John Sullivan in Week 1 during an interception return. That is largest fine in NFL history for on-field conduct, not counting suspensions.
Has Suh figured out how the NFL decides to discipline players?
Honestly, I havent figured it out, he said.
Suh said the NFL sent Lions general manager Martin Mayhew a letter, extending an opportunity for Suh to have another meeting with league officials.
Its always good to have dialogue and understand where theyre coming from and take it from there, Suh said.
Suh said he came away with the 2011 meeting with the NFL with a better understanding of what changes he needed to make on the field, and believes he has made progress.
I feel like Im playing within the rules for the most part, without a doubt, he said.

VASSAR -- *****Reporter's Notebook Update*****
Staff Sgt. Mills told NBC25 he was doing well in a recent interview.
He just got his driver's license and went mountain skiing on his prosthetic legs for the first time.
He is spending the holidays with his wife Kelsey and young daughter Chloe in North Carolina.
Mills will return to Washington in January to continue his treatment at Walter Reed.
****End Update*****
If laughter is the best remedy, Army Staff Sgt. Travis Mills is well on his way to full recovery. He duped me into thinking his prosthetic arm is voice-activated. I asked him if he's always been a jokester.
"I really don't like humor," Mills said. Then his stoic expression broke. "I love humor, I'm just kidding. Yeah, I guess so," he answered.
Mills is home in Vassar for a month on convalescent leave from Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he's been undergoing therapy after he lost all of his limbs in Afghanistan in April. His progress in nearly six months astounds his doctors. He can use his prosthetic right hand to scratch his nose and fix his t-shirt.
Once a football, baseball and basketball player for the Vassar Vulcans, the 25-year-old now relies on his wife, Kelsey, to help him put on his legs and stand up every day.
"It's not fun," Mills admits. "It's definitely not fun, but it's not the end of the world."
It's the beginning of this new normal - a challenge Mills said he relishes because he needs to be the best dad for his one-year-old daughter Chloe.
"I said look, she's going to learn how to play softball, I'm going to have to learn how to throw and catch. And if she wants to play volleyball, I'm going to learn how to spike, if she wants to do ballet, I'm going to learn how to do a pirouette," Mills said.
Perhaps it's his bright outlook on life the community finds so admirable, though Mills himself insists, he's no big hero.
"It's important that people know that I was just doing my job, you know?
"I don't feel like I did anything more special than those guys over there," Mills said.
But Thursday night was Travis Mills' night, as hundreds of people lined the streets for Vassar High School's homecoming parade.
"That was one of his big goals," said Craig Buck, Mills' father-in-law. "To be able to come home, see all the local people, thank them for the support they've given him, to be able to stand and walk and greet everyone."
For a moment, the bashful hero was in the spotlight. He tipped his hat to the cheering crowd, a small gesture to express his gratitude.
"I want to help pay it forward and let them know I really do appreciate it," Mills said.
Mills will be attending the Vassar High School homecoming game tonight and will be honored at 6:15 p.m. prior to kickoff.
He will also attend a block party at 4:30 p.m. on Athletic Street.
Vassar plays USA in their homecoming game later tonight.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he's naming his longtime foreign policy adviser Denis McDonough to lead the White House staff.
Obama, appearing with McDonough at the White House, called him "a great friend to me and everybody who works here at the White House."
McDonough is taking over the key West Wing role from Jack Lew, Obama's nominee for Treasury secretary.
McDonough has advised Obama on foreign policy for nearly a decade and most recently served as the president's deputy national security adviser. He is highly regarded by White House staffers.

I'm loving "The Heist" and now all my family are playing with it but I had a bit of a surreal moment yesterday. I will say I was very tired.
Just as I finished a level I got a call from "UnKnown", I was unsure whether I was still in the game or whether in was a real call it went something like this:-
<iPhone Rings>
I Answer buy say nothing (not really sure whether I'm still in the game)
I say "Hello"
<Strong accent voice starts talking, but it's fairly quiet and my room is noisy>
Cool I think, the app has some sort of voice activated trigger, damn these guys are good. Shame I didn't catch what was being said, so I wait hoping it'll repeat.
I say "Hello" again
<Strong accent voice says something, not the same as before but I'm concentrating now and can make out that it's an asian accent, not the eastern European lilt I would have expected. Perhaps where going truly global with this heist. Cool!
<Strong Asian voice man said something about something happing in my area?>
Strange? Doesn't sound very "Heist-like', but it's definitely an automated, recorded voice call with what seems to be a voice activated trigger.
<Strong Asian voice says "Press any key to speak to our agent" (or something like that).
Not sure which world I'm in... I Press a key...
<Ringing... >
<Ringing... >
<A man in a clear voice started to explain how I can save money on my Sky Satellite TV subscription>
<CLICK> I hang up.
Did I just spend a few minutes hold on for a cold call??? Yes.
Did I feel like an idiot? Absolutely.
Still, it amused my family that I would hold on to a cold call thinking I was playing a game, so I thought I'd share.
6th February 2009 MacHesit III Begins... MacHeist IV? 15th September 2012! IT's HERE!!!
This is why I'm very surprised Apple approved the app. They have been very strict in the past about not replicating native features because it can cause user confusion, and although those rules have been relaxed a bit, the way The Heist mimics an incoming call could, and I this case apparently did, lead to confusion.
Not to mention the copyright issues with using the phone interface widgets etc.
Would be interesting to hear how they pulled it off.

Well I enjoyed the initial experience, I thought it was very clever and well done. I'm also surprised it was allowed, but have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. My son wasn't fooled as he doesn't use the normal ringtone on his iPhone.

Longbeach President Bob Appel and many residents of the north end of the island told the Longboat Key Town Commission at its Thursday, Jan. 21 workshop that they are frustrated about their beach's rapid sand loss and are worried about the safety of the structures in which they live.
"The tremendous loss of sand in the last few months is very disturbing to us as owners, and we are looking for immediate help," Appel said.
Several other residents took to the stand to make similar statements.
Commissioner Peter O'Connor was sympathetic to the concerns of the more than 50 people in attendance, and his comments received applause from the audience.
"What's happening at our beach access road is a disaster," O'Connor said. "What these people want to hear is what are we going to do tomorrow."
The Town Commission agreed to move forward with designing and permitting four breakwaters, which are rock structures that act to hold sand in the area.
But knowing there are hurdles that exist with the project, including opposition from various local and state agencies, the commission also agreed to work to find more sand to place in the area in the interim.
Town staff will also see a groin would be acceptable to hold sand. The commission will also work with condominiums such as Longbeach to possibly use temporary plastic structures to protect the properties until more sand can be put there.
The commission also moved forward with spending $125,000 for its share of a joint Longboat Pass Inlet Management Study with Manatee County; $103,879 for a sand search in federal waters for future beach renourishments; and funding permitting costs for the upcoming town-wide renourishment project.
Also at its meeting at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road, the commission:
Forwarded to its Monday, Feb. 1 regular meeting for first reading:
• An ordinance amending the employment policies of the firefighters' retirement system in order for the town to remain eligible for the receipt of state premium tax monies.
• An ordinance amending the employment policies of the general employees' retirement system in order for the system to remain compliant with changes made by the Legislature.
Forwarded to its Monday, Feb. 1 regular meeting for formal action:
• A request by the police department to seek a $2,200 grant to fund the purchase of a citation printer for the marine patrol unit. The grant does not require the town to match the grant.
• A request by a member of the firefighter retirement system to have his years of service credited.
• The town to move forward with designs for entryway and way-finding signs that will be put on the Key as part of a beautification project by Florida Department of Transportation officials.
• A request by town staff to waive a sound regulation requirement that will allow Florida Department of Transportation to work extended and evening hours in the summer months when the Sarasota County portion of Gulf of Mexico Drive is repaved.
• The Longboat Key Public Tennis Center will host a grand opening for its new tennis center building beginning at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 28.

- I think you can meet the needs of two groups of tax payers and reduce the burden on all the other tax payers if you take the sand that is preventing Jewfish residents from accessing their homes and move it to the beach access road with sand erosion issues on North Longboat.
I assume the Town has the same responsibilty to provide access to property for both sets of taxpayers. Yes?
Paint the town red and green
This year, we won't just be on the lookout for the most festive holiday lights on the Key. We'll be on the prowl for anything that embodies the happiness of the holidays with our new "Spirit of the Season" contest. -

Dengue fever is prevalent throughout the tropics, where the urban-dwelling mosquito Aedes aegypti is a major vector. The dengue viruses are the most widespread arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). During the 20th century, the distribution and density of Aedes aegypti expanded dramatically in tropical areas, beginning in large cities then spreading to the countryside. This was followed by global circulation of the four virus types.
Because there is no cross protection between different dengue viruses, an individual can be sequentially infected by different virus types. Most primary infections cause a debilitating, but nonfatal, form of illness. Some patients, particularly children but increasingly adults, experience more severe and occasionally fatal forms of the disease.
While vector control can show impact if systematically applied, most hopes rely on vaccines for the prevention of the disease. Vaccine development has been ongoing for decades, and has been hampered by the need to protect against all four viruses, as well as by concerns of immune-enhancement. Much progress has been reported over the past years, and several vaccine candidates are now in clinical development.

I'm not generally one for New Year's resolutions. I don't believe in dieting and I'm not particularly athletic, so 95% of typical NYE resolutions are not that interesting to me. But right now, I'm motivated so I want to put it out there: I want to do things in 2012. Here are a few of them…
- Take the Indie:Compass e-course and figure out where I want to take Brownbetty Style
- Complete all the projects from the Modern Patchwork and DIY Dress Up e-courses. Maybe take an in-person basic sewing course
- Learn Photoshop. Mostly so this blog doesn't look amateur and I don't have to constantly bother David to make that happen.
- Finish my first quilt.
- Finish my super secret quilt.
- Knit something with sleeves – starting with this.
- Crochet… something.
- Participate in another craft show… a real craft show this time. (Halfway there! I signed up for one in May!)
Those are all pretty straightforward – set task, find time, accomplish. It's the Personal stuff that's nebulous and vague, so these are my intentions, rather than goals.
- Be kind to myself about the "happy changes" my body has made over the last year. Being happy and comfortable in my body as it is is important to me and I wouldn't trade all the wonderful things from the last year (moving in with my boyfriend, learning to use my Kitchenaid mixer, watching 6 seasons of Dr. Who on the couch while knitting, etc.) for all the smaller pants in the world.
- Judge Less, Lest Ye Be Judged. I won't lie, I'm a judgy person and I don't expect that to change overnight. But it really only makes me feel bad about myself.
- Remind myself: I'm Fat and it's Okay. I'm tall and I don't see a need to change that.
- Find a Pair of Decent Fitting Jeans: I currently have 3 pairs of jeans and each of them annoys me in a different way. Since jeans + tank/long sleeve t-shirt is my go-to casual uniform, it's worth it to find and invest in one good pair of jeans. Now I just have to find them… and chuck the others.

Probably the most famous children's book of modern times -- regularly topping polls for 'favourite book' and now available in a Large Type format to complement The Lord of The Rings Large Type trilogy. Bilbo Baggins enjoys a quiet and contented life, with no desire to travel far from the comforts of home; then one day the wizard Gandalf and a band of dwarves arrive unexpectedly and enlist his services -- as a burglar -- on a dangerous expedition to raid the treasure-hoard of Smaug the dragon. Bilbo's life is never to be the same again. The Hobbit became an instant success when it was first published in 1937, and more than 60 years later Tolkien's epic tale of elves, dwarves, trolls, goblins, myth, magic and adventure, with its reluctant hero Bilbo Baggins, has lost none of its appeal.

Thanks lilyflower for the info.I just joined because of the good rates on Think Big Checking. I joined thru Tru Direction. I'm sure they pull either chexystem to open the accounts.
I don't have any problems with Chex personally - (I've managed to have the same checking account since 2004 with no issues) so I can't speak to what they check or what to do if you have bad info in Chex but as long as you come up as you and can verify some info you can open that awesome checking account. I have my savings split between there and ING at the moment - I'm already over $1K on the ThinkBig so normal paycheck savings deposits are going back into my orange savings but I do throw an extra $20 or so into the account to keep it active and I have used my debit card like twice when I had no cash on me at work because there's an ATM in my building.

FanDuel Contest: Vegas and $1 Million?
Fantasy baseball may never be the same. Thanks to FanDuel.com, you have a chance to enter a contest to win a free trip to Vegas, oh, and to pocket a grand prize of $200,000. All it will cost you is $10. Interested? If so, and why on earth wouldn't a chance to seem some Vegas show girls, to put a $20 spot down on the craps table, or to walk away with enough money to put your kids through school not appeal to you?
$1 Million Daily Fantasy Baseball Championship on FanDuel
For the next 13 weeks a winner will be crowned in the $1 million Daily Fantasy Baseball Championship. Each weekly winner will then be flown to Vegas, all expenses paid by FanDuel.com, and given a shot at the $200,000 grand prize. That's right. Win two weekly matchups and you've got $200,000 coming your way. And don't think that you have to enter hundreds of times to win. And don't think that you have to enter hundreds of times to win. Jordy Nelson last year entered once, one time, and he ended up in the Finals in Vegas cause he won his weekly matchup. He then proceeded to win that year's grand prize of $100,000. All from one $10 entry.
So what do you do? You go to FanDuel.com and sign up for today's contest that also gives you a chance to win part of the $24,000 in prizes for Friday's event.
You then put together your salary cap team (the rules are very simple and can be found at the top of the page if you follow the link).
You win, you're rolling in cash. Simple as that.
Who should you have in your lineup? Never say that The Oracle isn't a nice guy. In the video below I will discuss some of the matchups and some names that you might consider adding to your lineup, as well as those you would be wise to consider passing on for this Friday.

Withdrawal of National Historic Landmark Designation
Charles B. Dudley House Altoona, Blair County, Pennsylvania
Charles Benjamin Dudley lived in this Altoona townhouse from 1898 until his death in 1909. Dudley's work in the field of chemistry helped to found the science of materials testing and made him a pioneer in the railroad industry. After attending Yale's Sheffield Scientific School, he went to work for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in 1875. He was one of the first trained scientists to be utilized by the industry.
One of his first programs was to research the chemical composition and physical properties of steel rails. He published his initial results in 1878 and immediately met with resistance from steel manufacturers, who viewed him as an outsider to their industry. Dudley continued his research and publication, however, eventually establishing that the need existed for rigorous standards.
In 1910, Dudley's widow sold the Altoona house to the Improved Order of Red Men, a fraternal organization, which used the building until 1970. The Charles B. Dudley House was designated as a National Historic Landmark on May 11, 1976. Aggressive redevelopment in downtown Altoona during the 1960s and 1970s caused scores of blocks to be razed, but the Dudley House remained standing in the heart of the city's oldest historic district. After the house was sold in 1970, the house suffered neglect and fell into disrepair. Ownership of the property changed in the early 1990s to an investor eager to create parking for the nearby hospital. Several preservation and heritage groups made attempts to save the house, but the building was demolished in the fall of 1999.
The National Historic Landmark designation for this property was withdrawn on February 1, 2001 and the property was removed from the National Register of Historic Places. While the story of the Charles B. Dudley House is unfortunate, it does illustrate an important point; designation of a property as a National Historic Landmark does not restrict the manner in which a property may be used or disposed of by a private owner.

Just curious why the title was shortened in translation. "Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai" roughly comes out to "We still don't know the name of the flower we saw that day." I think it's a pretty clever title, playing on words and referencing the story to evoke a particular feeling/image. However, as it was translated/localized, it's rather vague and carries much less significance for Western viewers who are unfamiliar with the original Japanese name.
Since the subtitle length is less important than the title length, I think adding a bit to get "The Name of the Flower We Saw Then/That Day," while still imperfect, at least attempts to capture the nuance of the Japanese title.
Is this title finalized?

Gypsie L. Akers and Melanie Hawkins are being held in the Ada County Jail on felony charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver after Boise police say they found evidence of drug dealing while making a traffic stop Friday morning and helping parole agents search a Bench area home the day before.
Police arrested the 28-year-old Akers after pulling her car over near the Vista Avenue/Elder Street intersection around 4 a.m. Friday after she failed to use her turn signal, according to police reports. Police say there was a strong odor of burnt marijuana coming from inside the car. A K-9 police dog called over smelled drugs inside the car a short time later. Thats when police say they found 1.9 grams of meth, a small amount of pot, and various items of drug paraphernalia, according to reports.
Akers is charged with delivery of a controlled substance, instead of possession, after police developed undisclosed evidence that she was involved in selling meth, officials said Friday.
Police arrested the 29-year-old Hawkins after officers helped Idaho Probation and Parole agents search her home in the in the 5200 block of West Morris Hill Road just after 10 a.m Thursday. Police say while officers only found .3 grams of meth, a small amount of pot, and various items of drug paraphernalia inside, they charged Hawkins with delivery after developing undisclosed evidence that she was selling meth from the home, according to reports.
Police also charged 53-year-old Harry T. Huskinson with possession of methamphetamine in connection with the case.
All three people will make their initial court appearances Friday afternoon.
The crime of possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver is punishable by up to life in prison.

Learn how to take Classes Online with New Book on the Moodle Learning Management System
Moodle Course Conversion: Beginner's Guide is a new book from Packt that provides the quickest way for teachers and trainers to turn their familiar teaching materials into a Moodle e-learning course. Written by Ian Wild, this book helps to add multimedia, and incorporate existing sounds and videos to improve a course by converting the existing handouts, worksheets, and other resources into Moodle courses.
This book begins by showing educators how to turn their teaching schedule into an engaging and attractive Moodle course, with the correct number of topics and in a fixed timeframe. Lecturers will learn how to format resources such as documents, slideshows, worksheets etc. in a way that will be effective for students, and will make it easier for them to read and follow.
Using the Moodle course, students will be able to submit their assignments for lecturers to mark or assess on the computer, thereby reducing boxes of assignments to carry to and from school. Instead of having students call into the office during breaks or preparation time, teachers can use forums and messaging to deliver quizzes, tests, and videos, and keep in contact with students whenever convenient.
Teachers, tutors, and lecturers who want to use Moodle to enhance their courses will find this book useful. The book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit http://www.packtpub.com/moodle-course-conversion/book
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

I have a slim PS3 250gb, Sony Bravia TV and Home Thearter TV stand and have been enjoying the Bravia Sync HDMI control feature for years now....
I can navigate the XMB with my TV remote, use it to fast forward and pause movies etc and turn off all 3 systems with one power press on the tv remote.
The TV would even display 'Playstation 3' next to the HDMI 1 id.
However the HDMI control/sync feature has stopped working a few weeks or a month or so ago and i can't work out why??
All 3 systems have HDMI control turned on, I have tried reseting all of them.
My TV remote no longer controls the PS3 on XMB or in movies.
I can't turn on the tv and audio system by pressing the PS button on a controller any more.
But I can still turn off all 3 from the TV remote with one press?
My TV nolonger shows 'Playstation 3' as a device or finds it when I try to sync/update HDMI devices?
All cables have been checked.
I'm on fw 3.73 but wonder if these problems started around the fw 3.72 time when the auto update feature was fixed???
Anyone any ideas or suffering similiar issues?
Not a big deal i know, but it's driving me mad when it's been working fine for ages and now it's a mystery?
Solved! Go to Solution.
on 05-11-2011 01:15 AM
Happens to me with my Bravia TV too on the odd occasion.
What I found to do was to first turn HDMI Control off, then Reset the PS3 to Default Display Settings. Then turn HDMI control back on again.
Sure you already know this but as a reminder (to reset)....
With the PS3 off, press and hold the Power button for about 5-10 seconds, or until you hear the Second beep.
I always let it switch back off however, so I turn on and hold, second beep, then third beep to switch off. All while holding down the Power button.
Seems to work for me, but we could be having different issues. When mine goes it totally goes, the Remote does not work and it cannot be found by the TV Device List.

I know how annoying these little things can be when they refuse to work
on 31-03-2012 12:21 PM
GREAT! Found this thread through google. I was looking exactly for the same issue.
And you gave me THE solution.
It is when you don't have this feature anymore that you notice how important it is !
on 20-06-2012 03:00 AM
Excellent!!! This solution worked for me also. Thank you very much for the contribution.
For several weeks now, I have not been able to turn on my Pioneer tv and receiver and I began to think that my PS3 was broken.
I am very glad I found this post.
Best Regards

A Stellar Imagemaker
Smithsonian and NASA's Chandra x-ray observatory sheds new light on the mysteries of the universe
- By Michael Kernan
- Smithsonian magazine, November 2000, Subscribe
August 19, 1999, Smithsonian's Chandra X-ray Observatory Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts: a large room full of computers, monitoring equipment and anxious scientists. They were anxious because after many years of hard work, after two scrubbed launches and a near-abort, after seven booster rocket firings joggling the delicate machinery this way and that, their x-ray telescope was finally in orbit and about to open up for business.
"It was quite a scene," recalled Leon van Speybroeck, one of the men who put it there. "The launch was on the Columbia space shuttle, carrying its biggest payload ever. Now, a month later, we were ready. So, we sent the computer commands, and waited. Astonishingly, 80,000 miles away, our pyrotechnic device exploded — it was like an M-80 firecracker. It swung open the 120-pound door on the spacecraft — just as planned."
Cosmic x rays shone on the delicate mirrors of the precious telescope for the first time. The scientists back on Earth monitoring the event pulled off their headphones and rushed into the imaging room. For 45 long minutes everyone waited to see if they would get an image from the telescope or if the whole project would end up with "a bucket of broken glass," as van Speybroeck put it.
Then, in the classic grave space-age monotone, a scientist announced: "We're getting photons."
First just a dot on the screen — photons being tiny units of light — then another, and another. Gradually a picture of a distant galaxy emerged.
More than 23 years in the making, mainly at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, which is part of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and named for the late Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, the Chandra telescope's first images astounded the sophisticated spacewatchers.
The first official Chandra image shows the aftermath of a vast stellar explosion in Cassiopeia A, a supernova remnant 10,000 light-years away, with such clarity that a neutron star or black hole appears to be visible at its center.
"We see the collision of the debris from the exploded star with the matter around it," said center director Harvey Tananbaum, describing the image. "We see shock waves rushing into interstellar space at millions of miles per hour, and for the first time a bright point near the center of the remnant that could possibly be a collapsed star."
