Jul 2014 - $30.00
This campground is utilitarian with gravel but well maintained roads and hookup sites. The bath house was modest but clean and the owner was compliant and helpful. The Wi-Fi was weak and the park is near a busy highway bridge causing some road noise (although it did not bother us). The campground is located on a river and fishing is readily available. Access to the grounds was easy. We would stay there again albeit not for a long stay. - mtcdvm
Jun 2013 - $30.00
We stayed here for a few months, while working in area. A perfect little gem right off main road. Easy access to all areas. Staff friendly and helpful. Very pet friendly. Grounds are well maintained, with gardens and grass areas that are beautiful. Restrooms & shower areas were modern, clean and always in perfect working order. Surprisingly quiet and private for being close to a main road. Sites are very large and have nice picnic tables and well maintained. A variety of activities to do, fishing, canoeing, kayaking. Hiking. - BWlange
Oct 2012 - $30.00
This is a fairly new campground located on the White River. It is on the Flippen side of the bridge located between Flippin and Cotter on Highway 62/412. Long and level pull through sites which can accommodate any size RV. The only draw back is no cable TV and sewers are located only on two sites, all other sites are 50/30 amp electric and water only. This is a very good campground to stay at while site seeing in the Mountain Home area. . - Emaline

Aug 2011 - $12.00
This park has recently changed ownership (and name from Cedar Hollow to Heart O' the Ozarks) and the PA advertised price of $9.25 is not honored. Their new PA one-night only price is $12.50. This campground evidently has a very bad reputation to overcome (as the owners can attest). Some elderly local residents try to dissuade us as we were pulling in, but being dusk we decided to give it a try. Glad we did. There is a lot of work and money going into this facility. The store, pool, and game room/movie room are beautiful. The air-conditioned bathrooms were immaculate and tiled from floor to ceiling. The CG itself is now very clean and trimmed. The CG roads have been repaired and were plenty wide for our 29' MH with Ford Ranger in tow. However, the sites are right on top of each other and leveling the RV was a challenge. There are only 3 pull-through spots, but they are actually designated as 6 back-to-back spots. When they are vacant, they will allow you to use as a pull-through. The future plans for this CG sound very promising (new cabins and pavilion) and we wish the best of luck to the friendly new owners. This is definitely worth a look and a great value at the PA price. - Full-Time Roamers

Seniors just wanna have fun
Ann L. Fouty
write the author
Keynote speaker Werner Spitz M.D.
August 09, 2012
Senior citizens are invited to have some fun and participate in seminars at the seventh annual Senior Fun Day, Wednesday, Aug. 15, at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial. The day's topics focus on keeping the brain fit.
"Three years ago, the sponsors determined that our 'role' was providing a forum to help seniors keep the mind and body healthy," said Julie Corbett, who sits on the event's planning committee. "Since its inception, the educational event was planned to provide safety guidance for seniors. In the first years presentations focused on Internet safety, elder law, Social Security information, home safety and yearly shredding of personal documents as a way to prevent identity theft."
The 2012 event offers the following topics on brain fitness: an update and advances in memory disorders, nutrition and the mind and brain aerobics with Beaumont Health System staff members, Dr. Paula Kim; Peggy Kurza, community education coordinator; and clinical dietitian Shellie Dimovski.
These individuals make up a panel to advise seniors on the latest information, exercise and nutrition for keeping minds healthy, said Suzy Berschback, in Beaumont Hospital, Grosse Pointe's community affairs and advocacy department.
Keynote speaker is Werner Spitz M.D., former Wayne and Macomb counties chief medical examiner.
Spitz has practiced forensic pathology for more than 50 years and is a consultant in forensic pathology and toxicology. He is a professor of pathology at Wayne State University School of Medicine and an adjunct professor of toxicology at the University of Windsor, Canada. Spitz has served on committees investigating the assassination of Pres. John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as testifying in cases involving Jenny Jones and O.J. Simpson.
Choosing speakers, like Spitz, is critical to the committee.
"Another key element is the selection of speakers which serve as role models for seniors," Corbett said. "A 'Face to Face with Facebook' workshop will be led by Dr. Barbara Ciaramitaro accompanied by her parents, who have learned to use Facebook safely. Spitz, another outstanding role model for seniors, will speak about keeping fit actively by continuing to work at one's job or a community project."
Ciaramitaro is an assistant professor at Ferris State University.
Registration is required for the Ciaramitaro presentation.
Seniors will learn how to keep their brains fit during a day set aside for learning and fun.
Senior Fun Day began with 100 attendees and every year the event has grown in popularity, addressing topics based on survey feedback from attendees, Corbett said.
"While all comment on how much fun the event was with zumba, yoga, free lunch with live entertainment and ice cream at the end of the day," Corbett said, "the surveys also indicated seniors are very interested in how the mind and body ages and ways to sustain mental and physical mobility."
Seventh annual Senior Fund Day 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 15 Grosse Pointe War Memorial 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. - registration 9:45 to 10:15 a.m. - workshop Friends + Family = Facebook Dr. Barbara Ciaramitaro 9:30 to 11 a.m. - Document shredding 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. - Brain fitness 101 panel discussion by Beaumont Hospital health experts update and relay advances in memory disorders, nutrition and brain aerobics noon - lunch and entertainment by The Shades 1 to 2 p.m. - keynote speaker Werner Spitz M.D. To register, call (313) 882-9600
Thus over the years senior fun days partnerships have evolved to include Wayne County Community College District, Services for Older Citizens, Beaumont Health System, Shore Pointe Village Assisted Living Facility, Shore Pointe Nursing Center, Ferris State University, General Shredding and the Grosse Pointe War Memorial.

Matt.1:1-18, Ruth 4:1-13 So Boaz took Ruth & she be-came his wife; and when he went in to her, the Lord gave her conception, & she bore a son. Then the women said to Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, who has not left u this day w/o a close relative; & may his name be famous in Israel! And may he be to u a restorer of life & a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves u, who is better to u than 7 sons, has borne him. Then Naomi took the child & laid him on her bosom, & be-came a nurse to him. Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi. And they called his name O'bed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.... O'bed begot Jesse, & Jesse begot David. Jeremiah 29:11-12 For I know the thoughts that I think toward u, says the Lord, thoughts of peace & not evil, to give u a future & a hope. Then u will call upon Me & go & pray to Me, & I will listen to u.... She does him good & not evil All the days of her life. So he will have no lack of gain. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; For her worth is far above rubies. :-)Reply

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves @ all times, And a brother is born for adversity. Ruth 1:15&16 And she said, Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her ppl & to her gods; return after your sister-in-law." BUT RUTH said: Entreat me not to leave u, Or to turn back from following after u; For wherever u go, I will go; And wherever u lodge, I will lodge; Your ppl shallow be my ppl, And your God, my God. Where u die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, & more also, If anything but death parts u & me. Ruth 1:17 also.Reply

Back to my question though. My devices is a Mako, which goes along with being a Nexus 4 right. So why is it when I downloaded the cyanogenmod mako latest ROM it didn't work? Came up with an error comparing device and product as being mako, and some status 7 thing. I did a restore and now I'm here.
I've tried to install it view clockwork recovery, and from the ROM manager app. Both came up with those errors. Am I doing something wrong?

Jason Thompson and I can write better comics criticism drunk than any of these guys can do sober. We filmed ourselves doing it once, but we never aired it because of all the swears.
At The Hooded Utilitarian, Ng Suat Tong presents a juried list of the best online comics criticism of 2009. I encourage you to go and look at the list and read the pieces.
And now, it's true confessions time: I was asked to be one of the jurors for that discussion. I submitted a list of nominees, but I didn't cast my final votes. Work and family pressures simply combined to make it impossible for me to read through all the nominated works in the time allotted. Suat and fellow blogger Noah Berlatsky have been very understanding about this, and I appreciate their kindness. I also was honored to be asked to begin with. The nominated works were from all over the comics spectrum, and reading the ones that I did greatly expanded my horizons—even when I wasn't interested in the comics being covered, I still learned something from the analysis.
When the list came out, Johanna Draper Carlson noted the lack of women and manga writers, and Melinda Beasi and David Welsh compiled lists of their own.
So, in the spirit of transparency, here is my list:
Carlo Santos on vol. 5 of Black Jack (ANN)
Bad Jew on 20th Century Boys (Sleep Is For the Weak)
Bad Jew on Oishinbo (Sleep Is For the Weak)
Kate Dacey on vol. 1 of Children of the Sea (The Manga Critic)
David Welsh on recent works by Jiro Taniguchi (The Comics Reporter)
Kate Dacey on vols. 1-3 of Dororo (The Manga Critic)
David Welsh on Omukae Desu and Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service (The Comics Reporter)
Shaenon Garrity on All the Comics in the World: Dykes to Watch Out For (Comixology)
Shaenon Garrity on All the Comics in the World: SF (Comixology)
Noah Berlatsky on Mystery Train (Comixology)
Now, I was under a lot of work and family pressure when I compiled the list, and if I were to do it this week, with the holidays and the city inaugural over with and my kids out of town, I would have made a few addenda—I can't tell you why Jason Thompson's article on moe and Matt Thorn's critique of translation aren't there, other than that I was frazzled and forgot them. (Fortunately, they were nominated by other judges.) Also, Noah's piece had to be disqualified because he is one of the judges. Duh.
Because the commentary around this has been really interesting, here are the lists from the other judges:
Frank Santoro
Tucker Stone
Matthias Wivel
What have I learned from this, other than not to make too many commitments at holiday time? That there is a lot of well thought out, well written comics criticism online, and that even an essay about something I never read can be interesting. By highlighting articles I never would read in my daily life, Noah and Suat have done me a big favor, and I am grateful for their efforts.

Wishbone Ash
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox musical artist
Wishbone Ash are a British rock band which achieved success in the early and mid-1970s. Their popular records included Wishbone Ash (1970), Argus (1972), There's the Rub (1974), and New England (1976). They were one of the first bands to use twin lead guitars.
Wishbone Ash are considered to be one of the major innovators of the harmony twin lead guitar format. Their contributions helped Andy Powell and Ted Turner to be voted "Two of the Ten Most Important Guitarists in Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989), and to appear in the "Top 20 Guitarists Of All Time" (Rolling Stone). Melody Maker (1972) described Powell and Turner as "the most interesting two guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced The Yardbirds".
Formed in Torquay, Devon, in 1969, out of the ashes of trio The Empty Vessels (originally known as The Torinoes, later briefly being renamed Tanglewood in 1969), which had been formed by Wishbone Ash's founding member Martin Turner (bass & vocals) in 1963 and complemented by Steve Upton (drums and percussion) in 1966. The original Wishbone Ash line-up was completed by guitarists/vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner. In 1974, Ted Turner left the band, and was replaced by Laurie Wisefield.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> The band continued on with strong critical and commercial success until 1980.
After revolving line-ups featuring former members from King Crimson, Trapeze, and Uriah Heep, Wisefield left in 1985. In 1987, however, the original line-up reunited for several albums – Nouveau Calls, Here to Hear and Strange Affair – until 1990, when Upton quit the band. After Martin Turner was replaced in 1991, the band recorded The Ash Live in Chicago, before Ted Turner left in 1993.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/>
Formation and rise to fame (1969–1980)bass guitarist Martin Turner and drummer Steve Upton. When Tanglewood's original guitarist, Martin's brother Glenn Turner left the trio and returned to his native Devon, their manager, Miles Copeland III advertised for a guitar player and also for a keyboard player. After an extensive search for a guitarist, the band could not decide between the final two candidates, Andy Powell and Ted Turner (no relation to Martin).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> It was suggested that they try both guitar players "just to see what it sounds like". Differing from the twin lead sound of The Allman Brothers Band, Wishbone Ash included strong elements of progressive rock, and also of folk and classical music. After the band members wrote several suggested band names on two sheets of paper, Martin Turner picked one word from each list - 'Wishbone' and 'Ash'.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
In early 1970, the band scored an opening spot for Deep Purple. During sound check, Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore was warming up alone onstage when Andy Powell walked up, plugged in, and began jamming along with Blackmore.Template:Citation needed Blackmore later recommended the band to producer Derek Lawrence and helped them secure a record deal with Decca/MCA Records.
The band's eponymous debut album, Wishbone Ash, was released in December 1970. One year later, the group released Pilgrimage. The band peaked commercially in 1972 with Argus, their highest placed entry in the UK Albums Chart (#3).<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> The album was voted by the readers of Sounds as the "best rock album of the year", also "Top British Album" (Melody Maker). The band were getting international acclaim for their live performances as they gained popularity around the world.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
The band had now begun to play major arenas as headliners. Wishbone Four (1973) was the band's first record without producer Derek Lawrence, as the band decided to produce the album themselves. In December 1973, the band released a double live album, Live Dates. There was an album released called Wishbone Ash Live in Memphis, which was a promo to FM radio stations but never sold in stores . Not long after, guitarist Ted Turner left the band. After replacing Turner with guitarist Laurie Wisefield, the band relocated to the United States and recorded There's the Rub (1974).<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> Locked In (1976), produced by Tom Dowd, saw the band moving towards US soft-rock territory and the group began touring with a keyboard player.
1976's New England returned to the traditional Wishbone Ash style. Front Page News (1977) was the band's final in USA recorded album of this period.
In 1978, after years of experimental albums, the band decided to return to its roots with No Smoke Without Fire, the first to be produced by Derek Lawrence since Argus in 1972. The album contained mainly songs written by Laurie Wisefield and Martin Turner. The band spent six months making the next album, Just Testing which was released in February 1980. Pressured by MCA to make more commercial music, the band considered bringing in a lead singer and restricting Martin Turner's duties to bass guitar only.Template:Citation needed After eleven years, Martin Turner decided to part company with the band.
Line-up instability (1981–1986)
Turner was replaced by bassist vocalist John Wetton, formerly of King Crimson, Roxy Music, Uriah Heep and U.K.. Number the Brave was released in April 1981 and featured Wetton's lead vocals on just one song, although during album sessions he had offered songs such as "Here Comes the Feeling" that would eventually sell millions when released on Asia's 1982 debut album. Wetton did not continue with Wishbone Ash beyond the album sessions and rejoined Asia.
Wetton was replaced on the Number the Brave tour by the former Uriah Heep bassist Trevor Bolder.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> Also joining the band was female backing vocalist, Claire Hamill, who had sung on both the Just Testing and Number the Brave albums. In 1982, after Hamill's departure, the band experimented with heavy metal on the Twin Barrels Burning album. It became the highest charting Wishbone Ash album in years (UK #22).<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/>
Bolder left the group to rejoin Uriah Heep in 1983, to be replaced by bassist/vocalist Mervyn Spence (ex-Trapeze).<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> The group continued with a heavy metal side on 1985's Raw to the Bone, which became the first Wishbone Ash album not to make the charts. Not long after, Wisefield quit after being in the band for eleven years for a varied career that would include work with Tina Turner, Joe Cocker, Roger Chapman, Jeff Wayne and the Queen musical We Will Rock You. He was replaced by Jamie Crompton, who in turn was succeeded briefly by Phil Palmer. Early in 1986, Mervyn Spence quit as well, to be replaced by ex-Kinks bassist Andy Pyle.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/>
Reunions and departures (1987–1994)
In 1987, I.R.S. Records founder and original Wishbone manager Miles Copeland III began a series of albums entitled No Speak, which featured all instrumental music. In order to launch the label successfully, Copeland needed a big name band that would bring publicity to the project. Copeland approached the four founding members of Wishbone Ash about having the original line-up record an all-instrumental album. For the first time in fourteen years, Andy Powell and Steve Upton joined forces with Martin Turner and Ted Turner to record the album Nouveau Calls, released in February 1988.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> The original line-up's tour of 1988 was a huge success, as the band played large venues for the first time since the late 1970s. In August 1989, the band released a reunion album with vocals entitled Here to Hear,<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> featuring mainly songs written by Ted and Martin Turner.
In 1990 the band went back into the studio to record the follow-up to Here to Hear. The band were shocked when founding member Upton, the band's drummer for their entire career, announced his retirement from the music industry. They enlisted session drummer Robbie France to help out on some studio tracks and live shows. The band permanently settled on drummer Ray Weston. Strange Affair was released in May 1991.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/>
Later in 1991, the band decided to continue without founding member Martin Turner, with the bassist/vocalist being replaced by returnee Andy Pyle, who had been in the band years earlier. The band toured throughout 1992/93, releasing the live album The Ash Live in Chicago.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> 1994 saw the second and final departure of Ted Turner.
Reunion years to present (1995–present)
Template:Unreferenced section At this stage Andy Powell was the only original member left in Wishbone Ash. Powell enlisted guitarist/songwriter Roger Filgate, bassist/vocalist Tony Kishman joined and drummer Mike Sturgis. The new line-up debuted on a short UK/European tour in spring 1995.
By the time of the band's 25th anniversary tour in late 1995, Tony Kishman was finding touring difficult due to other performing engagements in the United States. Founding member Martin Turner returned to hold the bass and vocal position for touring duties, although Tony Kishman would be recalled to record lead vocals for the band's next album. Illuminations was released in 1996 and featured the Powell, Filgate, Kishman, Sturgis line-up. Powell relied on fan donations and outside assistance to help finance the album.
By 1998, Kishman, Sturgis and Filgate had departed, and so Powell sourced Bob Skeat on bass guitar, Mark Birch as the other half of the twin lead attack and former drummer Ray Weston. Wishbone Ash went on to release two electronic dance albums on UK indie label Invisible Hands Music.The albums contained electronic beats blended with Wishbone Ash guitar riffs. Trance Visionary was the first of the pair, spawning a 12" single of four mixes that was a clubland smash and reached number 38 on the UK dance chart. Psychic Terrorism followed.
The band then released an acoustic album of classic and new songs entitled Bare Bones before hitting the road in 2000 to celebrate their 30th anniversary. A filmed show was held at Shepherds Bush Empire in London, where the band welcomed special guests Wisefield and Hamill as well as other friends for a star-studded concert that resulted in Live Dates 3 and a live DVD.
In 2001, Mark Birch was replaced by guitarist Ben Granfelt. The band hit the road for their most extensive touring schedule in years. Wishbone Ash returned to the studio in 2002 for the Bona Fide album. 2003 saw the band touring across the world with Savoy Brown, playing their largest number of American dates since the 1980s.
Ben Granfelt left the band to continue working on his solo career. Granfelt's mentor, Muddy Manninen, joined the band. In late 2006, the band released a new studio album entitled Clan Destiny. In 2007, longtime drummer Ray Weston left the band, stating that he was tired of constant touring and wanted to concentrate on different things.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> He was replaced by Joseph Crabtree, known for his work with Pendragon and King Crimson violinist David Cross. In late 2007, the band released Power of Eternity; their first with new member Joseph Crabtree.
On 25 November 2011 Wishbone Ash released their 23rd album, the well received Elegant Stealth, which is also the first album to be recorded by the same line up as the predecessor since 1989.
Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash
Template:Main In 2004, founding Wishbone Ash member Martin Turner returned to form his own version of the band under the name Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash. The group has toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe and has released three live albums 'New Live Dates Vol.1', 'New Live Dates Vol.2' and 'Life Begins' (the latter also available on DVD), all containing classic Wishbone Ash songs, as well as a re-recording of the original band's 1972 Argus album.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Original Wishbone Ash guitarist Ted Turner has also made appearance with the band.
In July 2012 Martin Turner published his autobiography 'No Easy Road - My Life and Times With Wishbone Ash and Beyond' through his www.wishboneash.co.uk website. The book chronicles the classic Wishbone Ash years, as well as Turner's personal journey, and contained contributions from former Wishbone Ash members Ted Turner (who also wrote the foreword to the book), Laurie Wisefield and Ray Weston, as well as other key figures in the story.
On 31 August 2012, the band held a Garden Party at Liscombe Park, Bedfordshire where they played a number of less frequently performed songs for an invited audience that included fans, music press, family and friends. The band were joined on stage by Ted Turner, Laurie Wisefield and Steve Upton, marking a re-union of 4 out of 5 members of the two classic line ups of Wishbone Ash.
Special events
Wishbone Ash have developed two group gatherings, AshCon in the UK and AshFest in the United States. These began in 1994 and have developed into gatherings of the 'faithful' and have since become annual fixtures.

Experienced investors try to avoid the "confirmation bias" trap by asking what supports the other side of the trade. Confirmation bias is our instinct to find data to support our position once it is taken. To counter this bias, we must attempt to build a plausible case against our position. If the effort is sincere, we gain a fuller understanding of the market we are playing (or perhaps avoiding).
That the global economy is going to heck in a handbasket is self-evident. If you over-weight anecdotal "on the ground" evidence and fade the ginned-up official statistics, it is obvious the global slowdown is picking up speed in Europe and China, two of the world's largest "linchpin" economies.

Got a friend who has a singlespeed, and where the existing V-brakes on it very cheap -- they stop OK, but barely so. Modulation is pretty sucky even when adjusting the cables.
Upgrading the bike to discs is out of the question, just due to cost.
He wants to get something with top-notch stopping power, so he is looking at upgrading what he has on there to XTR BR-M970s, Shimano's best V-brakes.
I'm telling him consider Avid SD Ultimate or something along those lines and save the $10-$50.
Is the price premium for the '07 XTR stoppers worth it?

I'll tell you where some of this compete with the vets mentality comes from: Darkfall is ONLY PvP. There is ZERO fun to be had pveing in Darkfall. ALL fun content comes from PvP. Cities, guilds, sieges, raids, houses, village caps etc.
This isn't WoW where you can have a blast leveling up with friends in newbie zones or your level zones and have fun not running into level 80s. This isn't some other game where there is actual low level content to be had, fun quests, dungeons, instances, low level raids or just even decent monsters.
ALL of Darkfall's community interaction comes from PvP, other than that you're mindlessly grinding to get to that point. This is a fundamental game flaw that has existed since launch. I was critical of it then, and I remain critical of it now. This is why people want to hit PvP ready status soon, so they can actually play.
Couple this with the fact that this is a full loot game, and many people find it fun to grief new/low players even though they gain nothing from it, and many people get discouraged right away. Why would you loot a guys bone set? I understand its the nature of the game, but this is a GAME, it's supposed to be FUN. There's a reason its dying/dead. Nobody can do anything fun without being a maxed character.
Oh go grind the newbie dungeon for hours? Sit in the same room and kill shit for hours on end? Fun. Go grind the Crog to get magic up? Fun. Hope nobody comes and kills you and takes 2k regs off you? Fun.

I'm sure it isn't Adobe Reader 9, it's something MS did because I installed Quicktime on another windows 7 that I had put on another PC and the install worked flawlessly. I installed dozens of applications before Quicktime (some heavy ones like visual studio, vmware, office, jdk, eclipse, premiere cs4) including Acrobat 9 that was the first I installed and none of them gave this issue. This issue started appearing 3 days ago as the boom of posts about that issue started the 18th of january proves, I've had the Windows 7 7000 build installed on the other PC since it was leaked almost 3 weeks ago and I never had this issue there, most likely because that PC wasn't connected to the internet during that time.Sven Groot said:I'm now also experiencing this issue, on two machines, and in both cases the last thing I installed successfully was Adobe Reader 9.

Second Thoughts
Actually, however, my second thoughts are regarding the iPad. Last we spoke, I couldn't possibly think of a reason to get one. Now, I'm suddenly contemplating replacing my laptop with an iPad. What changed?
1. The name. I was one of those who thought that this name was proof of the fact that Apple apparently has no female employees, and I couldn't get the image of that MadTV sketch out of my head. Such is the power of marketing that I've completely forgotten about it now.
2. Portability. I found out that you can run Keynote presentations straight off of your iPad (presumably via some sort of adaptor to connect to your projector). I spend a lot of time lugging my laptop around for that purpose, and wouldn't mind lugging around something much lighter. Also, as I said in the comments to my previous post, I fantasize about having my students upload their papers through Blackboard, putting them on my iPad, and grading them there. And having the built-in connection to AT&T's network is much more elegant than buying one of those laptop connect dealies. Thanks to the iPhone I've grown to love having internet with me at all times. In general, as I've started to have to have my laptop with me nearly all the time, I wouldn't mind slimming down some. Or a lot.
3. Consumption. The general consensus has been that the iPad is a device built for consumption, not production. As someone who produces a lot of writing, nearly every single day, this was one of the main problems for me--the lack of a keyboard would drive me up the wall, and adding an external keyboard seemed to defeat the purpose. However, in reading some reviews of the product, I realized that my engagement with computers actually takes place in two different spheres. On the one hand, when I'm doing actual work on my laptop, I tend to be seated at my desk. That's because I like to have a proper chair, to have my books spread out, and to be near my printer and scanner, etc. On the other hand, I also spend a lot--a lot--of time simply consuming the internet. I'm one of those people who reads multiple newspapers virtual cover to virtual cover every day, stay logged onto Facebook all day, am always reading blogs and commentary, etc. I tend to do this on my laptop while slouched on the couch. I also have been browsing the internet more and more on my iPhone. That's partly because I don't have internet at my home in Virginia at the moment, but because of that I've actually grown fairly accustomed to using a an input-less version of the internet, and it's actually not so bad.
My realization with regards to my computer habits is that actually my laptop--I have one of those older black MacBooks--is not perfect for either of those tasks. When seated at my desk, I would prefer to have a full-size keyboard and mouse, and to have various external devices permanently plugged in without having to get everything set up everytime I switch places. And I would prefer the expansion capabilities and overall greater robustness of a desktop. And conversely, when I'm slouching on my couch obsessively reading through the Times, the laptop is a bit clunky. Sometimes I would like to be able to lie down and read, and I often find myself nearly dropping my laptop, or finding it in the way. An iPad would actually be about right.
Caveats: I still am not pleased with the file management situation. Apparently each application has its own file manager, and if you want to transfer files from device to device you have to do it through iTunes just like you do now with music. That's a big drawback. It's bad enough with the music; as someone who creates several playlists every single day and puts them onto an iPod for teaching, I know all too well how badly this system works for anything other than a handful of documents.
The biggest caveat is that I will still need a real computer in my life, and I would like it to be a fairly robust desktop machine. Depending on my employment situation I might have an office computer to use, but I'll still need something at home. So my laptop will actually be replaced by two devices, and that adds up. The most expensive iPad with 3G ($829; not having the 3G service defeats the purpose for me) and a decent iMac ($1499) together run substantially more than just a MacBook Pro. Or I could go big and find the money for the Mac Pro, which with its ability to expand (and use third-party monitors and such) might save money over the long run and indulge my geekier side.
And needless to say, I can't possibly imagine buying a first-generation iPad. I'm hoping that my laptop hangs on for at least another year, and that by then some of the kinks will be ironed out. Stay tuned for more of this riveting journey towards iPad acceptance.

RE: templates... Some day look into WordPress (wordpress.org). They have a free (I think) hosting service (wordpress.com), though I don't know if you can do the subdomain thing (blog.pmgentry.net) - which would be a deal breaker. If you have a web hosting account that support MySQL and PHP you can install a free copy of WordPress, do the subdomain thing, and have tons more options.

I don't remember if you are a die-hard apple fanatic, but perhaps you should think outside the shiny box. Google is about to come out with its own version, as are a few other PC versions, and if you shop wisely, you will probably be able to get a decent PC and "slate" for less than the cost of an IPAD. And for file management and compatibility, well don't get me started....

I'm not as evangelical as I once was--I'm very unhappy with this whole closed App Store --but yeah, wouldn't buy anything besides a Mac. If Google does come out with an iPad-like device I would think about that, but I do need to be Mac for my main computer. I've been using them since 1984!

Oh, and you can also check out sites like pyzam or btemplates.com. I downloaded one of these free templates for use with blogger, b/c the blogger template options really are extremely limited.

TWE Remembers: Nikita Khrushchev's Visit to the United States
In a post I wrote earlier this month about the best Cold War memoirs, I noted that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was one of that era's more blustery figures, telling the West that "we will bury you" and banging his shoe at the United Nations. What I didn't mention was his mesmerizing, almost surreal twelve-day visit to the United States in September 1959. That visit is the topic of what looks to be a fascinating new documentary called Cold War Roadshow that premieres tonight on PBS. Read more »

Nov. 12, 2008
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The top-ranked Alabama football team worked out for two hours in full pads Wednesday afternoon at the Thomas-Drew Practice Facility as preparation continues for Saturday's game with the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
"I am proud and pleased with the way the players have worked this week," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said following Wednesday's practice. "They've had a good attitude. It is a challenging preparation for us. It always is with the way we do things and the players have worked through it very, very well.
"I think on the offensive line we've done a good job of blocking people, getting a hat on a hat and that's going to be really important for us in this game. We've worked really hard to improve on the passing game this week. It was a little windy out there today, but seems like the timing and execution is getting better and that's something that will help us tremendously, especially in this game because they have such a good pass defense."
Alabama and Mississippi State will meet Saturday, Nov. 15 in a nationally televised game on ESPN. The kick off is set for 6:45 p.m. (CST). The MSU game will mark the Tide's eighth television appearance of the season and seventh national telecast. Mike Patrick (play-by-play), Todd Blackledge (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sideline reporter) will call the game to a national cable audience.
The game will also be available live online via ESPN360.com -- ESPN's signature broadband sports TV network. The game is available completely free to any student on campus (in fact, to any student on any U.S. college campus -- nearly 18 million people). This season, ESPN360.com will feature more than 300 college football games.
Coach Saban also participated in the SEC Head Coaches Teleconference Wednesday morning and here are some of those comments:
On expectations and progression of Julio Jones:"We didn't have any expectations for him. Anytime we recruit young guys, you bring them in and you try to help them develop and learn and grow and don't really know what their maturity is going to be and the ability to sustain. I think the biggest surprise for us is his maturity as a competitor. The way he has been able to learn and grow and improve during the season and not be affected by external factors, which is usually a difficult thing for a young player. I think that's why he has been so productive and that's why he continues to improve. He has had an outstanding year for us."
On progression of John Parker Wilson and the receivers other than Julio Jones:"I think it's important that we develop a consistency in our passing game. I think when you throw the ball sometimes it is not determined as much by you as it is by how the other team plays. Teams play us with a lot of eight-man fronts. They play a lot of single coverage outside. So there is a lot of opportunity to throw the ball vertically down the field. If you don't do that on occasion, they are going to sit on all your routes short and they are playing man-to-man and that's going to make it more difficult for you. I do think Julio has played extremely well and we have some inconsistencies with some of the other guys, but they've all shown an ability to play well. I think the key to the drill is we all need a little more consistency week-in and week-out, player-in and player-out, so that we can develop a confidence with some of these other players that they are going to make plays and the other teams is going to have to respect them on the field as well."
On keeping the players focused for Saturday's game:"I think our players have handled the external factors throughout the season. It doesn't really matter where you're ranked right now. It doesn't define what happens at the end of the season. It's always our goal to improve. I kind of tell our players they're climbing a mountain and you're at 19,000 feet and the air changes a little bit, and it's little bit rarer, and it's harder to breathe, but you have to stay focused on the things that are going to help you continue to climb. If you don't do that the consequences can be even more severe because it more dangerous at this elevation. It's always a management with people not getting relief-syndrome and being satisfied with where they are at and wanting to continue to strive and improve and do even better and I think that's going to be the real key for all the teams that are in the position that we are in right now. Who can do that the best?
On how senior leadership has helped your team:"We have nine seniors on our team and they are all good guys and they all affect other people. Antoine Caldwell, John Parker (Wilson) and Rashad (Johnson) probably are he guys that get recognized the most as guys that will affect other people, which to me is the key element in being a leader. I think it's created a real positive attitude on our team. We have some young guys that have fit in well, which was important to this team. I think the maturity and leadership has allowed that to happen. Our offensive line has some real strong leadership that had affected the other players on our team with their toughness and tenacity and the way they compete and play. It's kind of a combination of a lot of things, but I don't think you can go into an environment like we did Saturday when you don't have strong character and leadership on your team and people staying focused, especially when things, you know, go poorly. We turned the ball over three times in the first half. We had to overcome a lot of adversity, and I think that says a lot about the character that we have and the leadership that we have."


text: Colder and drier air will filter into eastern Carolina overnight as a cold front sweeps through the area. Any lingering sprinkles will be gone by midnight with clearing skies on tap. Overnight lows will drop into the 30s in most locations. We'll see lots of sunshine with highs near 50° for Wednesday. More of the same can be expected for Thursday. The next chance for significant rain will be Friday into Saturday.

You know you have a Credit Score…but do you know what it means?
In my late teens and early 20's, I never really understood the importance of a credit score. I knew I had to have credit to get one and I knew it relied on how I managed my credit, but what did it really mean?
Then I bought a house and I learned very quickly what it means to have a good credit score. Did you know you may not be approved for a mortgage if you have poor credit? So if you're planning on buying a house sometime in your future (which I hope you are), then you should be aware of the importance of a high credit score…and how to get it!
A person's credit score is basically like a personal risk assessment. If you have a low credit score, lenders are less likely to want to lend credit to you. And if they want to lend you anything, it's not nearly as much as if your credit score was higher.
On the other hand, if you have a high credit score, you're more likely to be approved for lending at a lower interest rate and for a higher amount.
When does this come into consideration? Anytime you need a loan. This includes a credit card, new furniture, a new car, and especially a new house. These are all things that you have probably considered or are considering purchasing and if so, you should be concerned about your credit score.
So how do you get a high credit score?
By managing your finances.
Credit scores can be affected positively by:
- Making payments on time
- Utilizing less than 25% of your available credit
- Steady employment
Credit scores can be negatively affected by:
- Missing payments or paying late
- Utilizing more than 80% of your available credit
- Foreclosures and liens
- Periods of unemployment
- Requesting several lines of credit
Sounds pretty simple, right? So why is it so difficult to maintain a high credit score? Well, 20-somethings may not realize that missed payments affect a credit score. They also may not realize that owning a line of credit at every department store they have ever stepped foot in is hurting their credit.
Avoid these steps and you will be pleasantly surprised the next time you look at your credit score! Which brings me to my next point…
How do you find out what your credit score is?
Yes, it is true that you can obtain a free credit report each year. You can do this by going to AnnualCreditReport.com. Just be informed that you will get a free credit report, not a free credit score. Unfortunately, you have to pay to obtain your credit score. So just keep that in mind the next time you hear exciting credit report commercials that boast free credit reports.
If you decide to pay for the credit score, here's a quick guide to understand your score:
- Above 800: Excellent
- 700 – 800: Very Good/Good
- 650 – 700: Reasonable
- Below 650: Bad/Very Bad
If you aren't happy with your credit score today, consider this a challenge. Now you have a goal to work toward and hopefully by the time you go to buy that first house, you have no trouble getting a mortgage approved!

Absolutely don't borrow money to pay on boworred money. You are creating a foundation of disaster. Pay for you necessities first food, shelter, and utilities and attack the debt with the lowest balance. If you can't pay minimum payments on everything, call the ones you can't pay and tell them you can't pay. If you do happen to get a loan probably at a ridiculous rate if you have bad credit cut up all your credit cards so you won't dig a new whole. It happens very often when people get loans to pay off other debts. Then you have all your old debts back plus a new loan. Try to sell stuff, work overtime, get a second job, whatever. Earn more money of your own.

It's a very long article on the F-35 program in general. Basically, it argues that the program is now back on track, and there appears to be no major stumbling blocks ahead technically. As usual, they mentioned that you can't get costs down unless you get production numbers up, so the more F-35's sold, the cheaper it becomes for everyone.

Long-term effects of anthracycline chemotherapy on the heart?
- Question from ElsieBruin: Was there anything reported about the long-term effects of chemotherapy on the heart? If we had an anthracycline in the past, what precautions should we take to ensure heart health?
- Answers - Kathy D. Miller, M.D. No new long-term studies of women treated with anthracyclines were reported. We do know that in women who received an anthracycline after the age of 50, there is an increase in the likelihood of developing heart problems, although the increase was small. We don't have as much information about women who were treated with anthracyclines when they were younger. I think women should know that age is a factor in side effects from anthracyclines, and it is important for them to reduce factors that are in their control, like reducing fat in the diet, maintaining a healthy body weight, aggressively treating diabetes and high blood pressure, and avoiding smoking.
On Tuesday, December 15, 2009, our Ask-the-Expert Online Conference was called Updates from the 2009 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

6 & 7 Months Must Haves & Favorites
Tuesday, January 7, 2014
1. Bright Stars Table – My parents bought this for E for Christmas and she LOVES it. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she walked before she crawled (seriously). She loves to stand up and can do it completely unassisted by me when she is at a table/ottoman/couch (I'm obviously right there ready to catch her when she falls). This table keeps her occupied for a long time with all of its fun gadgets and songs.
2. Baby Einstein Musical Turtle – Oh this turtle. The lights, the songs.. she's obsessed. Tony and I bought it for her a month or so ago and she loves banging on the different buttons.
3. Blabla – I really wanted her to have a "special" stuffed animal like I did when I was little. These Blabla animals are so soft and cute. Plus it's a local Atlanta company, which I love! She actually really likes "Lulu" (her name is Fleur, but my mom and I didn't like that name as much, so we renamed her) and has a ball chewing on her ears :).
4. Lolla Cup – Tony and I love Shark Tank, and this cup is from a couple that went on the show. I bought it for her and started offering it to her when we started solids at 6 months. At first she didn't know what to do with it (other than bang it on her tray), but now she sips down water like a champ. I decided to just go ahead with a straw cup rather than a traditional sippy cup in hopes that would be one less thing to 'transition', and it seems to have worked!
5. OXO Sprout High Chair – I LOVE this highchair. It's easy to clean and looks nice (as far as high chairs go). Pretty much all you can ask for in terms of a high chair!
6. Bath Toys – Now that E takes "big girl" baths we gave her some toys to play with and she has a ball! I just need to get this to make clean up and storage of those easy!
7. Taggies Blanket – My sister-in-law gave this to me and said that her kiddos loved playing with all the tags on their toys. Sure enough, E was having more fun playing with the tags on her toys than with the actual toys. I gave this blanket to her and she loves feeling all of the tags. Though the tag she loves most? The "real" one for the blanket. Ha!
8. Itsy Ritzy High Chair Cover – I love putting this in the cart and high chairs when we go out. It keeps her nice and clean, not to mention comfortable since it's pretty plush. I love this pattern, too.
9. Pancake Pan – I love this pan so much, it's perfect for baby-sized pancakes (recipe tomorrow!) and making scrambled egg patties.
10. Skip Hop Foam Mat – Since we have wood floors I wanted to have a spot she could play on that wasn't really hard. I picked these up for her at Buy Buy Baby and am really happy with them. Though my house is starting to look like a freaking day care. #thingsisaidwouldneverhappen
11. Little Tikes Piano – Another fun toy she likes to bang on. This classic piano is a fun one to have around!

Peyton had one of those tables at daycare (but a very pink, girly version), and it was his favorite toy there! I said I wouldn't have baby crap all over my house. We did for a few months, but once he was up and walking everywhere I was able to move all the toys back into his room. Now I just have to make sure he doesn't drag everything out into the living room...ReplyDelete
Great list! My little girl would love all of this!ReplyDelete

Spinal cord injury is a major cause of paralysis with no currently effective therapies. Induction of self-renewal and proliferation of endogenous regenerative machinery with noninvasive and nontoxic therapies could constitute a real hope and an alternative to cell transplantation for spinal cord injury patients. We previously showed that FM19G11 promotes differentiation of adult spinal cord-derived ependymal stem cells under hypoxia. Interestingly, FM19G11 induces self-renewal of these ependymal stem cells grown under normoxia. The analysis of the mechanism of action revealed an early increment of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 and 2 with an early drop of ATP, followed by a subsequent compensatory recovery with activated mitochondrial metabolism and the induction of glucose uptake by upregulation of the glucose transporter GLUT-4. Here we show that phosphorylation of AKT and AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is involved in FM19G11-dependent activation of GLUT-4, glucose influx, and consequently in stem cell self-renewal. Small interfering RNA of uncoupling protein 1/2, GLUT-4 and pharmacological inhibitors of AKT, mTOR and AMPK signaling blocked the FM19G11-dependent induction of the self-renewal-related markers Sox2, Oct4, and Notch1. Importantly, FM19G11-treated animals showed accelerated locomotor recovery. In vivo intrathecal sustained administration of FM19G11 in rats after spinal cord injury showed more neurofilament TUJ1-positive fibers crossing the injured area surrounded by an increase of neural precursor Vimentin-positive cells. Overall, FM19G11 exerts an important influence on the self-renewal of ependymal stem progenitor cells with a plausible neuroprotective role, providing functional benefits for spinal cord injury treatment.

Meredith Miller, Stetson-Lee cross dress in pink for breast cancer
- By Brian Holcombe
- Published Oct. 29, 2010
- Updated Nov. 1, 2010 at 4:03 PM EDT
This weekend marks not only the third stop of the North American Cyclocross Trophy series in Boulder, Colorado, but also the close of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. When the racing wraps up at the Boulder Reservoir Saturday, one of the elite women will be handing out more than $1,000 in free gear to benefit local non-profit Hope Lives!
Cal Giant-Specialized riders Meredith Miller and Teal Stetson-Lee have worn special edition pink skinsuits on the 'cross circuit during the month of October and Miller is currently running an online raffle supporting the Fort Collins, Colorado-based organization that assists women living with breast cancer. Miller, the 2009 national road champion, took what began as an idea in the spring from Cal Giant-Specialized team director Anthony Gallino for the pink uniforms and has raised nearly $10,000 through the raffle, a silent auction and individual fundraising.
"I wanted to take it another step farther," said Miller. When enough interest arose from individuals unable to attend the auction last week at local restaurant Backcountry Provisions, Miller held back a number of items from the event to enter in the raffle. Items up for grabs this week include:
GoPro HD Helmet Hero Camera (MSRP $299.99)
Mountain Hardwear Women's Astra Jacket (MSRP $325.00)
Saris Bones 3 pink car rack (MSRP $159.99)
Look Keo 2Max pedals (MSRP $180.00)
2009 Team TIBCO National Champion jersey (not available for purchase)
Miller said that 100 percent of the proceeds from her fundraising will go to Hope Lives! to help the organization serve cancer patients in Northern Colorado. "I felt like I was able to make more of a difference with a smaller foundation," said Miller of her benificiary. "The local part of it appealed to me as well and they're been really responsive to my efforts… it's been nice to feel really involved in the process."
While Hope Lives! is a local foundation, Miller hoped people from around the country would step in to help. "These days almost everyone knows someone, whether family or friend, that has been affected by the disease," said Miller. "Whether it's local or not, it should make you feel good at the end of the day to give to a good cause and not only that, you have a good chance to win some nice items."
Sportsbaseonline.com is hosting the raffle and tickets are available for $5 each, or five for $20. Ticket sales close Friday and Miller will announce the winners Saturday evening.
As for the pink skinsuits, the Cal Giant ladies aren't sure if they're ready to give them up yet. "Teal and I were talking about it the other day and we both really like the pink," said Miller. "The plan is to retire the pink skinsuits, but you never know."
Visit Sportsbase.online to purchase raffle tickets or make donations through Friday October 29.

Steel magnate Leroy Schecter is combining two side-by-side units into one large apartment that will have five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a library, a gallery area and access to some of the best building amenities in the city. The units were listed in 2010 for a smaller $55 million asking price before being pulled from the market. The new price-hiked offering includes the cost of renovation.

Well, here's reminder in case you forgot about this one—it's been a few years. Way back in 2010, Ellen Page signed up to star in the feature film adaptation of the Oscar winning documentary short "Freeheld," with Peter Sollett ("Raising Victor Vargas," "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist") coming on to direct in 2012. And then nothing was heard of the project again, but today two big names are kicking it back to life.
Julianne Moore and Zach Galifianakis have come aboard the drama, that has been penned by Ron Nyswaner ("Philadelphia," "The Painted Veil"). The film will follow Stace Andree (Page), a woman who was denied the pension benefits of her longtime female partner and New Jersey police detective Laurel Hester (Moore) when the latter became terminally ill. The story chronicles the pair's legal battle for the benefits to be assigned to Laurel's partner, with Galifianakis slotted as activist Steve Goldstein.
Casting is still underway on the movie, though it looks like things are gearing up to shoot soon. And given that the material has already secured an Oscar, this one certainly has all kinds of potential to be another powerful telling of the tale. [THR]

Oct 2013 - $27.00
Front desk lady was very polite. Clean restrooms, showers, laundry area, and even a kitchen area next to the rec room (you MIGHT get Wi-Fi in the rec room). Cable not available at the time we were there. There were probably less than a dozen people camping there when we were there; most of those appeared to be 'living' there. Originally, this RV park was built to house construction crew for the new power plant. Now that the power plant is established, the park is open to the public. It's next to a train track and usually the trains quit running before midnight. They had not maintained the grounds, but on the day that we left, they were mowing the tall grass/weeds - which made it look a lot better. It served our purpose for staying in Riesel and visiting family. Alert - staying during a rainy season is not a good idea; your coach WILL sink in the mud. - Love To RV
Apr 2010 - $33.00
This campground was put in for construction workers building a nearby power plant and is geared toward long-term renters. Not much to look at but the sites are long and access is easy to Hwy 6. Nights were quiet. If you are in the area and don't want to drive to Waco this makes a good stopover spot. The clubhouse is decent and guests may use the kitchen. Showers are private bathroom style and clean but very basic. Expensive nightly rate for what you get but worth it to us for the convenience. - RetiredAtLast
