Are you interested in learning more about window coverings and curtain hardware? Let's continue with these terms and become more knowledgeable about fan shades, finials and traverse rods.
This is part two of your go-to guide.
Decorative metal valance curtain rods: Most simple decorative curtain rods can be used as a valance rod. The decorative rod is used when you are looking for something that has ornamental finials on the ends. Graber Adjustable Cafe Curtain Rods are designed to complement the Graber collection. All cafe curtain rod sets include the necessary hardware for installation.
Decotrax Collection: The DecoTrax collection by Vesta features precision extruded aluminum traverse curtain rod tracks. The track system is easy to customize as it is sold by the foot.
Draw Draperies: Draperies that hang from a traverse rod and can be drawn to open or close over the window.
Double Fullness: Using fabric for curtains or draperies that is twice the measured width of the window. Double fullness creates a fuller look and that is more pleasing to view than skimpy fabric.
Drapes: A decorative piece of material usually hung in loose folds and arranged in a graceful design from a window.
Draping: The technique of looping and securing fabric in graceful curves and folds.
Envelope Shades: Casual curtains attached to a mounting board and hung as a pair of flat panels. The bottom inside corners are pulled out and hooked onto the wall.
Estate Traverse Rod: Kirsch Wood Trends wood traverse rod is made for pinch pleated draperies.
Estate Ultra Metal Traverse Rods: Kirsch Estate Ultra Metal Traverse rods offer the quality of the Kirsch heavy duty traverse rod using an attractive decorative metal fascia. Able to traverse up to 56 pounds, this 2″ metal estate traverse rod can support elegant draperies that have been lined and interlined. The heavy duty ball bearing carriers allow for a smooth closure time after time.
Etch Art Static Cling Window Film Dark Tint Privacy: Use Etch Art blackout film to add privacy and darken a room by reducing the amount of light coming through the glass. Great in bedrooms, home theater rooms, home offices, and rooms you want kept dark. Vinyl window film is 8 mil thick and filters 95 percent of the sun's harmful UV rays. Window films help reduce heat and save energy as well as protect your furnishing from premature fading.
Fan Shades: Arcs of fabric pulled together in the center by cords and rings fastened to the back of the shades. The arc, or fan, faces down. When lowered, the shade becomes a flat panel.
Finial: A decorative piece attached to the ends of drapery rods. Usually made of wood or metal and can be many sizes and shapes.
Finial Company Drapery Hardware: Finial Company custom drapery hardware items are hand finished to your specifications. If you're looking to make a statement with your window treatments, the Finial Company is the way to go with literally hundreds of combinations to choose from.
Finish: Product applied to fabric as a protection against water marks and fading.
French Door: A door with rectangular panes of glass. A French Door is usually hung as a pair of doors in one frame, with both doors opening outward.
Fringe: A decorative trim sewn onto the edges and hems of curtain panels and rugs.
Fullness: Refers to the width of the fabric in relation to the curtain rod

The National President of the Jaycees attended the Elkin Jaycees monthly membership meeting April 15.
The group met at Sela Builder's Meeting Place with Twenty One & Main catering the event.
2013 National President Chrystal Ramsay-Dyess lives in Ocala, Fla. and credits her Jaycee membership for her career and her husband.
She spoke to the group about her unenthusiastic joining of the Florida Jaycees in 2002 to be part of their haunted trail, and how it led to many adventures, accomplishments and friendships over the years.
Ramsay-Dyess recently visited chapters in Texas, Illinois, Louisiana, Montana, Georgia and Missouri. From Elkin she will travel to Tennessee and South Carolina before arriving back home in Florida with her husband and 8-year-old son.
She says her career in sales and marketing as a life coach allows her to work from anywhere. She said the experience has been instrumental in enabling her to take on the challenge of the national presidency.
She spoke to the Elkin Jaycees about her decision to visit the Elkin chapter. She said the N.C. Jaycee State President Scott Alexander had bragged about the group. He cited that Elkin had won top honors for donations made in 2012 to the NC Jaycee Burn Center as well as other state awards.
The membership numbers took a dive over the last two decades, causing concern for the chapter's future. In 2010 past Elkin Jaycee president Joe Walker, now local business owner of AllStar Rentals and a town commissioner, headed up a reorganization effort that has led to the revitalized chapter.
"It was basically like starting a new chapter from the ground up. And who better to do that than Joe Walker?" stated 2001 chapter President Holly Lamm. "He was a past member of the Elkin Jaycees, Local President in 1980-81, State President in 1988-89, is a JCI Senator, a winner of the Clayton Frost Award recognizing the top five state presidents and many other Jaycee accomplishments."
In 2011 the revitalized chapter moved back to the Charles C. Weaver Memorial Jaycee building, dubbed the "JC Hut," on Poplar Springs Road with President Daniel Hearn at the helm.
When Brandi Walker Hall assumed in the presidency of the chapter in 2012 the chapter reestablished by-laws, won awards and gained new members.
In 2013 Levi Shore was voted in as local president.
Shore also presented Joyce and Howard Shelton the Distinguished Service Award that night in recognition of their years of service and dedication to the Elkin Jaycees. Their organization is instrumental in putting on the Jaycee's annual Gospel Sing and their Magic Show allowing them to make significant contributions to the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center and Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The Elkin Jaycees' biggest yearly project is the Fourth of July celebration in the Elkin Municipal Park.

Hi, I have been reading this board for a little while but this is my first post. I had severe preeclampsia with my first pregnancy that started at 28 weeks and my daughter was delivered at 33 weeks, she will be 3 in May. After I had her my doctor told me I only had a 10% chance of getting it again. I didn't find this page until after I was pregnant with my son, before finding this page I had never heard of an MFM or a 24 hour urine test as my doctor never mentioned them. Now I wonder if I might have had a mild case of preeclampsia with my son as I did have high blood pressure starting at about 20 weeks and was put on BP meds but the urine test they did at the office always came up as only trace protein. Our son just turned 6
months old and we aren't thinking of trying any
time soon but I would like to know if its even a
good idea to get pregnant again. So I found a peri
that is just around the corner from where my
mother sees her cancer doctor. I called and talked
to them to see what I needed to get a pre-pregnancy consultation then I called by regular Ob/gyn to get a referral. The nurse I talked to at my doctors office really made me mad, she kept wanting me to see the mfm that is in there building and asking me why I even wanted to see a peri and then she asked me if I was even sure this doctor I wanted to see even did pre-pregnancy consultations. I was nice as I could be and explained everything to her even though it was really non of her business, So now I am waiting on the peri to get all my records so that I can get an appointment. Sorry for the vent but the nurse really made me feel like I didn't know anything and was bothering her.

SAN MARCOS, TEXAS (Jan. 5) - The New Mexico State Aggie women's basketball team collected its third straight Western Athletic Conference win with a 61-58 win over the Texas State Bobcats on Saturday at the Strahan Coliseum. NM State boasts a 9-5 overall record with a 3-1 WAC record.
Senior Kelsie Rozendaal and freshman Sasha Weber each collected a double-double on the night with Rozendaal picking up 11 points and 11 rebounds after shooting 5-9 from the floor. Weber marked her first double-double as an Aggie with 11 points and 10 boards on the day. Those numbers, combined with senior Stefanie Gilbreath's 21 points helped the Aggies 34.8 shooting percentage and 51 rebounds on the night.
The Aggies worked for 22 points in the paint with 12 assists. As a team, the Aggies picked up 51 rebounds with 15 on the offensive side of the ball. The Aggies held senior guard Diamond Ford to just six points on the game after the reigning WAC Player of the Week averaged 21.8 before Saturday's game.
"I am really proud of the team today," head coach Mark Trakh said. "There are always things we can work on, but I am proud of what we did here today. It's a big win for us and we had really great contributions from a number of players. This is a win we are going to enjoy."
With an early lead off five points in the first three minutes by Gilbreath, the Bobcats came back to knot the game at 10 apiece. The Aggies regained a lead with eight unanswered points that included four points from Rozendaal.
The largest Aggie lead of the half didn't last long as the Bobcats fought back to tie the game at 25 with just over four minutes to play. Rutledge drove to the basket to move NM State ahead once again, a small scoring slump held the Aggie to just two points in nearly five minutes of play. Two layups by Gilbreath pushed the Aggies ahead to a halftime score of 31-29, but it was Texas State that came away with the final point of the period off a free throw by Jasmine Baugus.
The half wrapped up with Gilbreath leading the Aggies with 11 points (4-7), contributing to the Aggies 38.7 shooting percentage. The Aggies held Texas State to 27.3 percent shooting and nine total field goals.
Weber collected the first points of the second half with a long three from the left side before Gilbreath picked up a jumper from under the basket. A deep three by Williamson brought the Aggies back ahead by eight, but Weber's third basket behind the arc gave the team its largest lead 48-39 with 13 minutes left on the clock.
As the teams traded triples, freshman Alexis Nelson hit hers from the far left corner before the Bobcats picked one up of their own. The Bobcats moved the ball quickly and tightened the score to 54-53 with NM State still ahead.
Gilbreath worked for some big moves on the day including a throng three to move the Aggies up at 60 points. With just 11.7 seconds on the clock, Williamson sank the score setting free throw, giving the Aggies their third win in WAC play and second on the road.
The Aggies now look to host Seattle on Thursday, Jan. 10 and Idaho on Saturday, Jan. 12. Both games are slated for a 6:30 p.m. start and will air on AggieVision and ESPN3.com.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it would be a smart choice to wait for the new radeon series, which is supposedly to come out in december?
Thanks in advance

Its really up to you if its worth waiting. Once the Radeon 8000 series is released, the 7000 series will go into low supply and the prices probably would not go down by much. The offerings for the Radeon 8000 series would probably not get good for 6 months after its release. I would probably be swayed to build now with a 7870. The performance improvement to the 8000 series will not be much, and the technology that comes with the 8000 series will not be used for another 4 years.
The benefit of waiting until the 8000 series is released is that the price of nVidia parts will go down. If you want to get a nVidia it might be better to wait. It also might be a good idea to see what is offered new with the series and if it makes it worth it.

The 8*** series cards aren't releasing in December. The current rumour is 2nd quarter 2013.
Without a new process node to move to, the Radeon HD 8000 series won't be that much better than the 7000 series. It will be like moving from the 5000 series to the 6000 series: a marginal improvement, but not a huge deal. Moving from the GeForce 600 series to the GeForce 700 series will likewise be a marginal improvement, but not a huge deal.
If you weren't looking to spend more than about $240 on a video card, then don't wait. Just get a system with a Radeon HD 7750, 7770, 7850, 7870, or GeForce GTX 650, 650 Ti, or 660 today, depending on budget and what happens to be a good value that day. (At the moment, the GTX 650 isn't and never has been, but the rest are available at good prices.)
Even if you were looking to spend more than that on a video card, I probably still wouldn't wait. On a larger budget, the interesting options are the Radeon HD 7950, GeForce GTX 670, Radeon HD 7970, and Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition. Only if a top of the line Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition isn't good enough for you, and you want to pay $800 for a card that is 30% faster than that and has a 300 W TDP should you definitely wait. And no, I'm not kidding about the $800; the top GK110-based card isn't announced yet, but it's going to cost a fortune.
I should add that if you were to wait for the next generation to launch and you're looking to spend under $240 on a video card, the options will basically be the same that you have today, plus a Radeon card with the same price and performance as a GeForce GTX 650 Ti, another Radeon card with the same price and performance as either the Radeon HD 7770 or 7850 (not sure which, but no sense in waiting either way), and possibly a GeForce card with the same price and performance as the Radeon HD 7770 or 7850 or GeForce GTX 650 Ti. And then everything else new will be more expensive than today's Radeon HD 7870 and GeForce GTX 660, so you wouldn't get it anyway even if you did wait. I expect current cards to continue to drop slightly in price as time passes, but realistically, most of the price drops that are coming have probably already happened.
Above $240, we'll probably see larger drops in prices for a given level of performance, as you'll be able to get the performance of a Radeon HD 7950 or GeForce GTX 670 or whatever without having to use a vendor's top GPU from the generation. For Radeon cards especially, that means you lose the GPGPU bloat and efficiency disadvantages of this generation's 7900 series cards.

Quizzcal is right, don't bother waiting for the Radeon 8xxx series or nVidia's 700 series. They are going to be refresh products of thier current gen products so, not going to give huge performance over the current ones. If you really want next gen products you might have to wait until 2014 or end of 2013.
<InvalidTag type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gamebreaker.tv/cce/e.js"></script>

According to this article, the 8870 is expected to rival Nvidia's gtx680 and the radeon 8850 is taking on the gtx670. I was planning on getting a gtx660 before I read this article.
These prices seem very low for that kind of performance and if it is only a month away I'll wait.
But if the information is not valid and the 8000 series won't bring that performance, then I'll just get the gtx660.

Just buy now and not worry about waiting. If you wait for the next one, you might as well wait for the one after that.

Well, just because we don't have a new process node doesn't mean that we can't see some nice improvements. The jump from the 5000 to the 6000 series did bring us PowerTune in Cayman, which was a dramatic step forward. I may even argue it's one of the most significant advances in GPU technology in a long time. PowerTune lives on today in all the GCN-based cards, even though Cayman only lasted for that one generation (although it's development did lead to GCN).
However, in terms of performance, you were still looking at only ~15%, and that seems to be about the given boost in performance generation over generation, notwithstanding the feature set changes.
That, and I have no idea what changes the 8000 series will bring over the 7000 - rumors so far haven't hinted at anything major. Given that there is not really any buzz about it out there yet, I would guess it is still months away from launch. Usually we start to see leaked benchmarks and leaked reference photos about 3-4 months before launch, and some "official" statement about 2 months out.

You're right that a new process node isn't the only thing that can make a new generation into a big deal. Major architectural changes could, but that's not going to happen, considering that the 7000 series was already a major new architecture. If the last generation was badly broken (e.g., AMD Bulldozer, GeForce 400 series), then fixing it is a big deal even on the same process node, but the 7000 series was pretty good. If there are major new APIs to support, then that matters, but 7000 series cards already support DirectX 11.1 and OpenGL 4.3 (possibly only 4.2 at the moment, but 4.3 drivers are coming if they're not here already).
And as I said above, if you're looking for greater performance at the high end, then that matters. But to take your 6000 series example, if a Radeon HD 6950 was out of your budget, then what did you gain by waiting for the 6000 series? The rest of the lineup merely filled holes in the previous lineup (while two of the 5000 series GPUs continued to be produced and sold!) and offered modest efficiency gains.

my bad.
That's a fake, and it's not even a good fake.

Either 36 or 32 CUs is plausible for a GPU chip (though Tahiti already has 32, so I'd expect more than that), but it can't simultaneously be both.
If we assume it's 36, we get 128/36 ~ 3.56 TMUs per CU. That's impossible.
If we assume it's 32, we get 2304/32 = 72 shaders per CU, which would make 18 groups of 4. That's at least technically possible, but AMD has had 16 groups of shaders per SIMD engine/CU/whatever else they've called it for the last four generations, and 8 groups for the two generations before that. 18 isn't such a binary-friendly number, which makes it highly implausible.
Decoupling shaders from TMUs is at least theoretically possible, but is extremely unlikely on the basis that it would give poor performance in exchange for no upside. Shaders and TMUs have to work together closely, and even a single shader will bounce back and forth between them. Both AMD and Nvidia have linked shaders to TMUs in their architecture for as long as they've had unified shaders--and they linked pixel shaders to TMUs even before that.
The page also claims a 250 W TDP, and 4.5 TFLOPS of single-precision floating point performance. You don't know how good silicon will be until you have it, and the slide claims that it was computed in March 2012. There's no way that AMD had working silicon back then.
The site also claims that it's 20% faster than "the current flagship part". Assuming you're talking about single-GPU parts, that would mean the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, which is just over 4.3 TFLOPS. 20% faster than 4.3 TFLOPS would put you a little over 5 TFLOPS.
Meanwhile, the site claims that clock speeds are unknown, even though it can be computed from other information that they give: (# of shaders) * (clock speed) * 2 = (# of FLOPS). The T in TFLOPS is just a metric prefix for trillion. Technically, architectural changes could change the 2, but it's extremely unlikely that AMD would, say, implement various SSE or AVX instruction sets in a video card, as that sort of parallelism is already built into the architecture. Besides, it has to be an integer, and no integer other than 2 gives a plausible clock speed.
And even if AMD did know all of that, why would they have made a marketing slide way back in March 2012? Fancy graphics are for marketing purposes, not internal ones. You don't need them to inspire your engineers.
Well in that case I'll be getting my build now, thanks. I hope you're right though.
What do you guys think about this build by the way.

Sorry about that.
If that's representative of your budget, then you should definitely not wait for the 8000 series. Even if you were to wait, you'd probably still end up buying a 7000 series or GeForce 600 series card.
First of all, the 620 W version of the same power supply is a lot cheaper than the 520 W version:
You don't need the extra wattage, but if it's cheaper, why not?
The case you picked only comes with one fan. That's not what I'd want for a powerful gaming system that is going to put out a lot of heat. If you want that case, I'd grab an additional fan for it.
I don't think that buying an aftermarket cooler is spending money in the right spot while you're trying to cut back elsewhere. If you're going to give up overclocking anyway, I'd sooner put the money toward a higher bin of the processor:
That processor can't be overclocked, either, and the motherboard doesn't allow it, anyway. Intel's B-series chipsets are meant for business use, and also disable overclocking. I'm not sure exactly how the internal differences are, but it's probably cheaper for a reason. I'd usually recommend a Z77 board for Ivy Bridge, like this:
But if you'd rather save the money, that's all right, too.
There's no SSD, and I'd personally prefer to cut back on the processor (FX-4300 with an AM3+ motherboard) or video card (e.g., Radeon HD 7770) rather than give up an SSD. But that's a personal preference, and opinions will vary. Alternatively, if you're willing to spend more, than it's easy enough to tack on an SSD.
There's also no OS license.
If I have to choose between the processor, motherboard and cooler, which one should I take? I'll probably get a ssd later and I am not planning on overclocking anything.
Also getting http://www.4launch.nl/shop/#p-4-productid-034503 for wifi and I'll be getting the monitor I previously posted as well.
Getting a cheap cooler with it will be no problem, but I can't spend to much on it. Something like this will do http://www.4launch.nl/shop/winkelwagen/71957#p-3-subshop-Componenten-hoofdcategorie-Koeling-subcategorie-Videokaart

This beautiful ring features weaving bands of 10k gold, delicately holding in place a genuine birthstone of your choice. This ring is available in sizes 5 through 9 for a perfect fit. This 10K Black Hills Gold 1 Stone Family Birthstone Ring is great for mother's celebrating the birth of their first child, or even grandmothers and a first grandchild. According to legend, a French goldsmith named Henri LeBeau became lost during the "gold rush days" of the middle 1870s in the Black Hills of South Dakota. He fell asleep believing he was dying of thirst and starvation. During a dream, he saw a mountain stream with grapevines growing on its banks. Upon awakening, he walked over a rise and found the stream and grapevines just as he had in his dream and, out of gratitude, dedicated his life and talents to creating jewelry in the shapes of grape clusters and leaves fashioned in rose, green and yellow gold.

The 23-year-old signed a four-year deal with the Black Cats for an undisclosed fee after passing a medical.
Altidore began his career at New York Red Bulls before heading to Spain with Villarreal, where he went on to enjoy loan spells at Xerez, Hull City and Bursaspor.
His one-year stay at KC Stadium saw him score once in 28 Premier League games, 12 as substitute, in the 2009/10 relegation season.
He moved from Villarreal to AZ in August 2011 and proved an instant hit, scoring 38 goals in 67 appearances.
The American has also registered 17 goals in 60 appearances for his country but will now join up with his new Sunderland team-mates at their pre-season training camp in Italy.
Having failed to score for the US since November 2011, he ended a lengthy goal drought in an international friendly victory over Germany in Washington DC last month.
He said: "'I'm thrilled to be here. It's a fantastic club, I'm really excited about this season and I'm excited to be a part of it."
Altidore joined goalkeeper Vito Mannone, defenders Valentin Roberge and Modibo Diakite, midfielder Cabral and winger David Moberg Karlsson as part of Paolo Di Canio's new-look squad at the Stadium of Light.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Stephen Curry, James Harden and Kyrie Irving were among the roster of 12 players named to represent the USA Basketball team in the upcoming FIBA World Cup in Spain.
DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis, DeMar DeRozan, Andre Drummond, Kenneth Faried, Rudy Gay, Mason Plumlee, Derrick Rose, and Klay Thompson are the others who are headed to Spain.
"Since taking over the USA Basketball Men's National Team program in 2005, this was without doubt the most difficult selection process we've gone through," said team managing director Jerry Colangelo. "I can't stress enough the outstanding effort and commitment that has been given by each finalist. I also want to make it clear that this is not just about talent -- each player is incredibly talented and each player offered us unique skills. In the end it was about assembling the best team, selecting guys who we felt would be able to best play the kind of style we envision this team playing."
Gordon Hayward, Kyle Korver, Damian Lillard and Chandler Parsons were the players who did not survive the final cuts.
The team announcement came after the US beat Puerto Rico, 112-86, Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
"The first thing is we are very pleased with the overall effort of every player who was a part of the process," said head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "To select 12 was difficult, because our pool is so good. As we go forward, we not only go forward as twelve, we go forward as a pool for USA Basketball. As a staff we want to thank the players who are not going forward."
The FIBA World Cup, previously known as the World Championship, will be held Aug. 30-Sept. 14. The Americans open play on Aug. 30 against Finland, and then take on Turkey on Aug. 31 in a rematch of the 2010 FIBA World Championship gold medal game won by the US.

Neck pain is a very common problem, affecting about 10 percent of the adult population at any single point in time. Neck pain can range from a dull ache to an electric-shock type of sensation. Other signs and symptoms that accompany neck pain, such as numbness or muscle weakness, can help pinpoint the cause of your neck pain.
Most neck pain lasts just a short time — a few hours or days. Neck pain that continues longer than several weeks is considered chronic. But even persistent neck pain can usually be helped by exercise, stretching, physical therapy and massage.

text: Chin Augmentation and Reduction Although most patients who seek changes in their appearance focus primarily on their eyes and nose, it is often the lower area of the face that lacks symmetry. Chin surgery can significantly alter a patient's profile which, in turn, can greatly improve facial symmetry and contour. Most chin surgeries can be performed under local anesthesia; more complicated cases may be performed under general anesthesia in the operating room. Chin surgery is often combined with another procedure. A quarter of patients elect to have chin surgery with a facelift, while others have chin surgery with a rhinoplasty and/or liposuction as well. Initial Visit During the complimentary first visit, a full medical history will be taken. Physical examination will focus on harmony in the lower third of the face. It is important to discuss any pre-existing conditions, allergies, dental problems and previous surgeries. The surgeon will ask you what you like and dislike about your chin. Once your surgeon understands your expectations, mutual and realistic goals can be set. Pre-Operative Instructions For at least two weeks prior to surgery, patients are required to refrain from smoking, alcohol and all aspirin products. Smoking interferes with circulation and healing, and products containing aspirin or ibuprofen increase the risk of bleeding. Genioplasty: Chin Augmentation To augment a receding chin, genioplasty can be performed by use of an alloplastic chin implant, or by surgically advancing the bone itself. For the implant, an incision is made under the lower lip inside the mouth, or under the chin in an inconspicuous place. A small pocket is formed, the implant is placed inside, and the incisions are closed. To advance the bone in the chin, the surgeon makes an incision under the lower lip inside the mouth and uses a powered saw with a special blade to separate the edge of the chin bone. The surgeon moves the separated piece of chin-tip forward and secures it with wire, bolts or screws. The incision is then closed. Mentoplasty: Chin Reduction To reduce a protruding chin, the surgeon makes an incision under the lower lip inside the mouth, or under the chin in an inconspicuous place. The surgeon then uses a powered drill or rotary bone burr to reduce and reshape the bone. The surgeon will close the incision with sutures. Pre-Operative Instructions For at least two weeks before surgery, patients are required to refrain from smoking, alcohol and all aspirin products. Smoking interferes with circulation and healing, and products containing aspirin or ibuprofen thin the blood and increase the risk of bleeding. Post-Operative Instructions After the procedure, tape will be applied to the chin. There will be swelling and bruising in the chin area for several weeks. Swelling can be somewhat controlled by elevating the head when resting. Once the stitches are removed, most normal activities can be resumed after a week. Pain medications and antibiotics will be given. A liquid or soft diet may be prescribed until the incision heals. Surgical Risks There is always a risk of infection post-operatively. Scar tissue is also a possibility. There may be numbness in the chin area but this is usually temporary. In rare cases, a loss of sensitivity may be permanent. Chin surgery will create a better balance between your chin and other features. The best way to learn more about chin surgery is to come in for a consultation.

She was the pioneer organizer of the WMU at her church in 1939 and served the first 15 years as President. When the WMU became a full-graded organization, she became the Director for 8 years and remained active in that organization for 61 years. She was an avid promoter of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offerings for International Missions and the World Hunger Offerings all those years.
She served as Voter Registrar in Edwards Precinct III (Wilkes Co.) for 30 years. She was a local Avon sales representative a number of years. She was one of the hardest working farm women the area has known, an avid gardener, one of the area's best cooks, an excellent seamstress, and had numerous abilities in varied areas of life. She is remembered for her compassionate service in the community by faithfully visiting the sick and elderly and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
The family will receive friends and relatives at Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 10, 2012. The funeral will follow and burial will be in the church cemetery.

"One more thing. My print out listed me attending an event that I was not attending. There are many venues near this lot, and the online reservation process never asked me what I was attending. It was confusing to me to have that on the print out. I assume the program just picks the nearest venue, but I think someone should look into that. And also look into why the attendant didn't know about our reservation-- that should be fixed. But I still love the idea of prepaid and reserved parking, and I will use it again when it's a busy time downtown. (We were attending the State Theater Nutcracker across the street; your program listed us on the reservation as attending the Target Center Donny and Marie show.)"
"Easy to find the lot. Close proximity to State Theater and variety of restaurants."
"I was able to park right across from the State Theatre. The attendant immediately showed me to a space in the lot. This couldn't have been easier! I will definitely used the service again."
"The convenience of knowing we had reserved parking made our evening hassle-free. Location of the lot, the easy on-line reservation and directions were great. Definitely will use again and recommend to friends."
"This was an excellent place to park!! I don't go downtown because I have been afraid of the traffic but I had an opportunity to see Carol Burnett for my 60th birthday so I ventured out for the event. I loved being able to reserve the parking spot and it was so easy to get in and out."
"Very close to the Orpheum. No hassles getting in. I simply presented my printout and the attendant directed me to go ahead and park, leaving my printout on the dashboard so they knew I had paid. Worked beautifully."
This is a paved surface lot. As you approach this lot, there will be a tan building behind it from which the Skyway emerges.
This location is a commercial parking lot.
Nearby destinations: Target Field, Orpheum Theatre - Minneapolis, Target Center, State Theatre (Minneapolis), First Avenue and the 7th St Entry.
This surface lot can be accessed on 8th St N. The entrance is in between 9th St N and Hennepin Ave. At this point, 8th St N is a one-way street heading south, so look for the entrance on your right. Keep an eye out for the Skyway on your right; the lot is under that.

Don't you just hate it when the power goes out, and you have to lug that huge flashlight around your house. No worries my friends, you can make a flashlight that fits right in your pocket!
Lets get started!
Step 1: Materials
- Altoids "Smalls" Mints tin (I got mine at a drug store) Amazon, $23.39 in bulk for 12 packs
- 5MM LED Best Hong Kong, $0.40 each
- Push-button Switch Goldmine Elec, $1.50 for 3
- Hookup Wire Radioshack, $14.99 for 35ft
- 3V Coin Battery 1topstore, $1.55 for 10
- Soldering iron Radioshack, $8.99
- Solder Radioshack, $4.49 for 1oz.
- Electrical Tape Radioshack, $3.99 for 60ft
- Masking tape Choose, any type works
- Dremel tool with the drill bit or device to poke holes in metal
Step 2: Insulate the tin
Use some electrical tape to insulate your tin. Just tape some on the bottom, sides, and wherever you feel that the components may be vulnerable to the metal tin.
Step 3: Drill your top hole
Or you can choose the other side.
Take your Dremel or hole cutting tool, and carefully make a hole. With this preliminary hole, take your switch and keep checking to see if it fits. You do not want to make it too big. So take your time, there is no rush.
If you do not own a Dremel, you can use a pocket knife, or a tool to poke a hole. THe spin it around to grind out the hole. But make sure you test to make sure you do not make the hole too big.
If you want to do an Altoids smalls you'll have to follow these directions.
A Better Altoids Smalls Flashlight
This is for some 6mm by 6mm, which might be too big.
These are smaller and better documented, but a bit harder to obtain. Here's the datasheet.
If these don't work, try a Google search.

within next year or at least before a Western release, on top of all the information already available.
A thread for all those informed about Archage and just waiting to play it.
World: More zones. I know Archeage is already large compared to recent MMOs, even better, seamless. I just want the world to become even bigger. Preferably larger oceans and more islands to discover and adventure. With little caves and maybe some islanders here an there for trade. For my little crab farm at the end of the world.
Profession: Fishing. I have not seen a fishing option yet. I know its possible to catch bigger fishes with a harpoon. Awesome. But what about just plain fishing?
Graphics: Ultra highend resolution texture pack (terrain and objects). I know they already even lowered the qualiy to decrease the size of the game client and allow smoother loading of assets. But for all our high spec + SSD user out there it would be just awesome. You know, like the usual textures on mountainranges, those groundtextures in RvR enabled zones similar to Aion, all gone and replaced with highress at own risk.
Sound: International sound packages for optional download. Everyone playing Easten games like Aion knows many player prefer to play with i.e. Japanese or Korean sound sfiles rather than Western. Just make this a service to beginn with. Even better give me option to mix them. Like say Japanese combat voices and English voiceovers for cutscenes.
Combat: I am fine with the basic combat if they offer some non-typical combat individualization. Like just for example profession based combat moves and enhancements even if its just alchemy and enginering. Or full fledged mounted combat. Siegevehicles and battleships are good for RvR and group battles, but maybe something more personal would be a great icing. No clue how pets are going to work out.
UI: API for custom skins. But only skins not abusive and exploitative tracking tools or active calculators influencing the game, where you feel gimped knowing everone just "cheats" except ou if you dont use the addons either.
Races: -Dwarfs. I want some L2 dwarfs again! Come on! Give!
- Race specifc story(quest)lines. Just anything that explains the background of each of the races via gameplay above the basic introduction.
Security: Digital authenticator for mobile phones before launch. You know the deal.
And what are you looking forward to?
I know some Koran player, already used to other lush and detailed zones in the game, complained a lot about some comperatively desserted zones and XLGAMES dealt with it revamping whole zones during beta. I'd prefer if the feedback they take from Western player before a Western launch, would consist of more than shallow tears and cries for more and faster rewards, faster progression and headpatting with more ease and less effort.
Maybe if i notice some points often repeated, I will start a poll with these to vote for , just for future refence.
PS. Yes ArcheAge made me dream about the potential of RPG and MMORPG gameplay in MMORPGs again

World: Agree with the OP, its huge indeed, the world is way more bigger than any other MMO's, but what im missing is more zones for the PvP Continent (North Continent), originally there are 37 zones/territories to control, which i find to be little.
Profession: Fishing is listed among the professions, it has its icon and progress bar, however so far it haven't been implemented. The crafting system looks very promising and free, you are not limited to choose which profession you want to level, if you are a crafting freak, theoretically you can level up all crafting professions to max, but it will take allot of time, aprox 1.5-2 months for one profession. Which is a fair time to reward the crafters who spent their effort on it.
Graphic: I hope that the reason to lower the quality of the textures was because of the CBT, testing purposes only, and that they will add the hight resolution textures back for the live version. Otherwise its the CryEngine, maybe fans will make custom ultra textures (mods) like for Aion.
Sound: Don't really care about it at all.
Combat: I would say that its just fine as it is, its complex, starting from the basic "tab-targetting" system, through ship combat, siege weapon combat, mount combat, battle pet combat, air combat... it's a very complex combat system indeed, with tons of skill available for choosing, unlike with the modern Action MMOs-which are poor in skill choices.
UI: The UI is minimalistic, which is good, when you open the inventory you will see all your items without the need to scroll or to list pages (like it's started to be common crap with new age Action-MMOs). What i missed in CBT5 was the transparency option for the menus. Just saying .LUA, so most likely with addons the interface could be modified.
Races: It seems that there gonna be only 4 races for the Korean release, hope we get all 8 of them for the western release. All races start at different locations, and they do have race specific quests, not just at their starting locations, but later on too, on higher maps.
Security: P2P, that will lower the number of bots by allot.

I am not a hater, I call it like I see it.

No more zones, I want 1 zone, its called a world. Developers have abused, raped, and molested zones. I for one am sick of it. I understand on the technical side things its just not plausible for one zone, but in the past some developers have have hidden it from players, or made it a little less noticable. Now they dont give a flying F&#% about it, and make no effort in trying to hide it, I do not want to play zones, thats not an MMORPG. Zones lead to instiances which is an entire different soap box rant, which is my 2nd biggest complaint about current MMO's. But I agree with everything else you said about the world. Thank god AA apears to be a world, I wont know until i get my hands on it. Its impossible to get the feel from a world from 5 min video clips of from reading articles about it.

I am hoping that by having the city seige system we will see the return on large scale guilds, people will have to be more social and your reputation will actually affect you again. I feel like the MMO has gone out of most games now, so I am hoping that it is going to be different in AA.

I'd prefer a physical authenticator, one that I can add to a keychain, completely isolated from any network. WoW, EQ, and SWTOR have them, and in a world where even companies cannot 100% safeguard your account & personal information, authenticators can only help.
Other than that, what I'd wish for is a game that is immersive, not just for a month or even several. Years, baby, years. Maybe it will be ArcheAge, maybe it will be EQNext .. maybe Star Citizen .. who knows. ArcheAge has good potential though, for now.

The thing is you are forgetting a MMO called Vanguard which is vast with vast sailable oceans as well . Unlike Archeage Vanguard has no instances, you do know that Archeage has some instances, right. Like Vanguard it's a hybrid MMO but bigger than Vanguard, hmmm ill belive that once I see it lol.

Regarding security, about a year ago they had a phone app for ingame/guild chat. Shows they are already thinking about and aware of options like the WoW AH, Eve Aura, Rift apps and will bring an authenticator with the launch.
Such features should almost be automatic with modern games.

Sandbox is your only hope for a decent mmo ;)
I just hope they stick to their guns and dont turn this into another wow clone or f2p trash heap. So many games with good ip's have been wasted. This game has so many features and a good potential to be one of the best sandbox style mmo's. Hope they do not ruin that.

I dont know where we would be if it wernt for Muffin89s magnanimous insight and intelligence on matters such as these. In fact Jack Song should send you a check for saving him the time and money he would have spent trying to complete AA.
Not only should Muffins89 be giving his own spotlight topic of the week, he should be running MMORPGs main office. Since his insight is so valued and infallible, MMORPG would in a matter of weeks be the end all be all of news and reviews on not only MMOs but news for the whole gaming world.
Great work Muffins89. I think everyone who has read one of your posts has become a better person for it.

Wind: 0 mph
The Dalai Lama and Senator Patrick Leahy sat on a couch, smiling and holding hands.
This is not the beginning of a "man walks into a bar" spinoff joke but the start of last Saturday morning at MiddleburyCollege, where the Dalai Lama spoke to a sold-out crowd about the concept of interdependency and how it informs altruism and greed in today's society.
When Leahy stood up to introduce the Dalai Lama, he spoke about His Holiness' role as spiritual leader of Tibet and diplomatic leader in international peace talks. "But here, we think of him as a friend," Leahy said.
And indeed, in the talk that followed, the 77-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner demonstrated a level of comfort and informality often associated with old friends or family. "You are my brothers and sisters," the Dalai Lama said, addressing an audience of over 2,000 people.
This was the Dalai Lama's third visit to Middlebury, as he'd participated in symposiums at the college in 1984 and 1990. On Saturday, October 13, the Dalai Lama addressed a mostly public audience in a talk titled "Finding Common Ground: Ethics for a Whole World."
The Dalai Lama opened his talk by calling the audience's attention to those basic characteristics that all people share. "We are same human being," the Dalai Lama said, "physically, mentally, emotionally."
It sounds so simple, and because of this, it's so easy to forget. In today's society, "we emphasize the importance of differences," the Dalai Lama said. There is a "lack of holistic view," he said, in broken English, explaining the reason for widespread inequality and suffering.
Very rarely did the Dalai Lama make explicit references to the plight of people in his Chinese-occupied homeland. Instead, he used universal anecdotes to illustrate his points, telling a story of a bald car mechanic who hits his head repeatedly on the underside of an engine when he becomes frustrated while trying to fix it.
"What use?" the Dalai Lama asked, explaining that the mechanic is only making more pain for himself and is no closer to fixing the problem. "Car don't have pain," he said with a chuckle.
Instead, to begin to fix our problems, "must look from greater distance, then [we] get better picture," the Dalai Lama said.
And then, we must talk. "This concept of war is outdated," the Dalai Lama said. "This century should be the century of dialogue."
In a question-and-answer session that followed his talk, one audience member submitted a question asking if the Dalai Lama had a secret that made his smile so infectious.
"If it's a secret, then maybe I should keep it," the Dalai Lama responded (with an infectious smile).
The Dalai Lama is not giving away all of the answers. He doesn't have all of the answers. But he does have something special that makes Westerners wonder whether they should re-evaluate their way of thinking.

Chattanooga Head Coach John Shulman
Thoughts on the game
"I had no idea if we could score a bucket, if we could stop them from scoring, and after watching them on tape an awful lot, I was very nervous about the game. They are humongous. They are well coached and they have good players. I am thrilled that we have one game under our belt. I am thrilled our freshmen got a chance to go out there and sweat, shoot it off the side of the glass and make a lot of mistakes so we can get that out of our system. I said before the game, win or lose, we have to continue to get better. It is nice to win. It is nice for those kids to win but we have four games in eight days now. We have one practice before we play the No. 7 team in America. It's going to be a great experience for our kids. We are going to take that experience and we are going to get better. Then we are going to take next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and get better. We are not going to focus on our record. Win or lose, we have to continue to get better. Farad Cobb has a chance to be really good. All those kids have a chance to be really good. It was great for them and we will continue to move forward, win or lose."
On if this game may set the tone for the rest of the season
"I thought we did a fantastic job on the glass. They have been dominating people on the glass. They have been dominating people because they are 7'2, 7'1, 6'9, and 6'8. I'm really pleased that we did a good job on the glass. We outrebounded them by twenty-one so that was a good job. We did a good job getting to the foul line. Hopefully you'll continue to see those two things. I do not think you'll see us press as much as we did. Am I ready to see us shoot 2-22 from three? Yes. Could last year's team go 2-22 from three and win by 35? I don't care who we were playing, the answer is no. We had to shoot it well to win. We don't this year. We are going to rely on defending and rebounding. If we shoot it well, we win by 50. We are not going to count on shooting it well, but we are going to work on it."
Thoughts on going to the press
"They are well coached. I give Coach Brady a lot of credit. He has done a really nice job. He has a load of talent over there. They are really disciplined and I did not want to half to sit in the half-court and guard. I wanted to make it a rat-race of a game and we were fortunate enough to do that. Casey Jones is really good but I don't know what sport he was playing out there tonight. He is so disappointed in himself right now but he is a competitor. He created a lot of craziness in the front of that press and he'll get better."
On going to Kansas on Thursday
"I'm looking forward to going. I want our kids to be loose. We very rarely go enjoy the experience. Let's go out there and play our guts out, and go out and learn. Let's go out and play against one of the best teams in the country and get better. What an opportunity. Win or lose or whatever, let's get better. That is what the theme has to be."
Junior forward Z. Mason
On how much of what they did tonight can be expected throughout the season
"A lot of the things we tried to do were simple things like showing our hustle and our effort. A lot of the guys are young and they had a lot of jitters. Talking to a lot of them before the game, they were all nervous. All the older guys were just trying to tell them to do the simple things like play defense and rebound. The game will come to them. We just wanted to do the small things."
On if it's hard to get the freshmen to understand that there are important stats other than scoring
"I think they know that. A lot of them know that it's their first game. All of those guys can shoot the ball. They had a lot of adrenaline. That's what they kept talking about at halftime. We told them that it was normal and as long as you make the hustle plays and play defense and rebound that's what win games. We were able to do that tonight."
Thoughts on going to Kansas
"It's going to be tough. We are going to have to prepare over the next couple of days for them. We are going need that outside shooting against Kansas. But if we keep playing defense and keep hustling, it is something that will propel us in the future. It could help us get a lot of wins."
On the goal going into Kansas
"The goal is to just keep playing hard, play defense and rebound. Those are the simplest things you can do in a basketball game. If we can do that, it will give us a chance against any team that we face this year."
Freshman guard Farad Cobb
On his first collegiate game
"I was anxious. I was just excited to play my first game. I didn't know what to expect so I just went out there and played hard."
On his defensive performance, grabbing six steals
"I guess Coach Shulman knew we would be anxious and wouldn't shoot it as well. He just told us to focus on defense and rebound, so that's what I tried to do. I gave good effort on the defensive end and I happened to get some steals tonight."
On if he'll be anxious at Kansas
"I'm looking forward to playing. It's going to be a bigger crowd and we are the underdog. I just want to go out there and prove we can compete and make Coach Shulman happy."

Enter TiPb's new weekly feature where staff and readers alike sort through the App Store and help you find just the right App for That. This week, our very own Chris Oldroyd asks:
I need an app to produce passport compliant photographs for a new passport. Any ideas?
To see what we found for Chris, follow along after the break!
ID-Photo - Biometric passport/ID photos [$1.99 - App Store link] is and iPhone and iPad app for creating passport and identification photos. It knows the sizing requirements in 14 countries and will set up your photo to be printed at the legally required size.
When taking your photo, ID-Photo overlays guidelines onto the camera so that you can be certain that your photo will meet the requirement. It also lets you make adjustments to contrast, brightness, sharpening, and grayscale. Additionally, the app has a list of tips for taking your photo and examples of both acceptable and unacceptable photos.
Once your photo is prepared, it is very easy to email or print to an Airplay compatible printer. Just tell ID-Photo the paper size and it'll take care of the rest!
Anyone else have any App for That suggestions for Chris? Let him -- and all of us -- know.

App for That: How to take passport photos with your iPhone
Eeek! Thanks! Updated :)
can you print lots to a USletter size piece of paper ?
You need to be sure you are allowed to submit digital photos for passports and IDs- when I first tried it around 5 years ago in the UK they refused to accept digital, because of the ease of altering the photo.
I am sure the ubiquitousness of digital now will have caused a change in many places, but you may want to check.
Don't know about other countries but here in the U.S. all you need is one or more physical pictures to be submitted for a passport. This app would save you money, time and aggravation. I wouldn't expect any country in their right mind to accept a "digital only" submittion or even how that would work without seeing the person face-to-face.

Vt. Supreme Court to hear arguments on nuke plantBy DAVE GRAM
THE Associated Press | January 17,2013MONTPELIER A lawyer for the Vermont Yankee nuclear plants owner told the state Supreme Court on Wednesday it should dismiss a complaint that the plant has been disobeying orders from state utility regulators and should be shut down.
The arguments before the Vermont Supreme Court are just the latest in a long series of fights involving regulators, lawmakers and plant owner Entergy Corp. At issue this time is a clause in Entergys 2002 purchase agreement for the plant over a 2012 deadline for a new state permit.
Entergy lawyer Kathleen Sullivan disputed two rulings by the Public Service Board last year that the plant had been operating since March 21 in violation of the 10-year-old agreement with the state that it would shut down by that date if it didnt have a new state permit.
Brice Simon, a lawyer for the anti-nuclear New England Coalition, told the justices he had decided to bring the groups complaint to them because going to the Public Service Board probably is futile. He said the board already has issued multiple orders finding that Entergy is in violation of its 2002 order approving New Orleans-based Entergys purchase of Vermont Yankee from a group of New England utilities.
In the orders Simon referred to, the board stopped short of ordering the plant to shut down immediately, but made clear it would consider Entergys actions as it decides whether to grant the companys request for a new state permit to operate until 2032. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission renewed Vermont Yankees federal license for that 20-year period in 2011.
The plants continued operation has been the subject of much legal and legislative wrangling.
Entergys attorney blamed the plants inability to get a new state permit on interference by the Legislature, which had passed two laws saying Vermont Yankee needed a green light from lawmakers in addition to the NRC and the Public Service Board. The Senate then denied the plant permission to continue operations while the matter never saw action in the House.
After it got its new NRC license, Entergy sued the state in U.S. District Court in Brattleboro, where a judge last January ruled that the Legislature had overstepped its bounds.
That put the question of the plants future back before the Public Service Board, where it had been before the Legislatures involvement. While pre-empted from ruling on safety, the board maintains jurisdiction over the impacts of Vermont Yankee on the states environment and utility economics. Meanwhile, Vermont Yankee has kept operating, past the expiration of its initial state and federal licenses on its 40th birthday last March.
The Public Service Board raised the alarm in decisions in March and November that the plants continued operation appeared to violate part of a 2002 order approving Entergys purchase of Vermont Yankee. The agreement said the plant would stop operating if it did not get a new state permit before its 40th birthday.
A provision in Vermont law allows parties to cases before the Public Service Board to petition the Supreme Court if they feel board orders are not being adequately enforced. The anti-nuclear group New England Coalition, which had been a party to the 2002 PSB case on the sale of Vermont Yankee to Entergy, seized on that rarely used section of law last month, asking the court to shut Vermont Yankee down based on the sale agreement.
Wednesdays hearing was on a request by Entergy to dismiss that complaint. The company argued that state law allows the plant to continue operating under its old license while its renewal is pending before the Public Service Board.
The only just outcome of the board process would be a win for Entergy, Sullivan said. If they shut us down after this hearing they will be in defiance of Vermont law and of the District Court in Brattleboro. So they can do it, but it would be unlawful.
The court did not indicate when it would rule.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Officials from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources are going to be holding a...

It might make your current BFF a little jealous, but that's OK because she wasn't all that good of a friend anyway. Just a few questions: Did she ever offer to carry all of your stuff in an ultra organized way? The BFF will. It has tons of pockets and organization...so much you won't know what to do with it all. Is she flexible? The BFF comes with detachable shoulder straps and messenger straps. Use it any way you want!
