For some buyers, for particular areas of a home or business, tile is often the hands-down favorite flooring choice. It can be formal or casual, dressed up or down, dazzlingly decorative or stunningly simple.
For a certain group of buyers, tile is always their choice. Especially in areas where there are hygienic concerns -- kitchens and baths – the homeowner will always choose tile.
There's no denying the crisp, cool beauty of ceramic, porcelain, and stone. Or the cleanability and easy care make these natural products affordable. Homebuyers are so busy these days, they want a maintenance-free floor. Tile tends to require the least amount of maintenance of the flooring types.
Tile is also no problem to repair. If one breaks, it's an easy matter to pop it out and replace it. If water spills, even a lot of water -- no problem there, either. If a tile floor is installed and maintained properly, and the grout is a darker color, sealed to repel soil and stains, maintenance is a breeze.
Ceramic and porcelain tiles provide some of the most versatile interior design possibilities, sporting an almost limitless array of sizes, colors, textures, and designs. Most of the materials used in making them are from the earth itself, while stone tile is actually quarried -- so each of these tiles tends to create an immediate natural ambience, a quality of timeless beauty, and a look that's decidedly upscale.
Like nearly every other category in home fashion -- furniture, fabric, decorative accessories -- flooring has lately felt the impact of the trend toward surfaces that are antique, distressed, and worn. Many ceramic and porcelain products have a vintage look that conveys a sense of history and almost ancient beauty.
Size variations are very big these days and are being seen a lot more now than ever. There's everything out there from tiny tiles for mosaic applications to large, rather sheet-like squares of ceramic. The larger tiles are very popular right now. "18X18 and 20X20 seem to be the most significant trend.
And yet another important direction has been noted in this popular flooring segment. Recently more tiles are being made of porcelain due to the durability of the product. Consumers are getting wind of the fact and asking for it. Porcelain is also much more affordable than it used to be. Those qualities -- that it's durable and affordable -- make it a good buy for a consumer!
Porcelain looks like stone but doesn't have to be sealed to avoid stain and odor absorption, so it's especially easy to maintain. Another excellent buy for the consumer who's intrigued by a handsome array of flooring choices that includes the look of rustic stone, slate, travertine, or marble, or who's elated by the idea of easy upkeep, has every reason to consider ceramic and porcelain tile with enthusiasm.

Is modern youth ministry contrary to scripture?
That is the core question of Divided the movie, an hour long youth ministry documentary film by Philip and Chris Leclerc. It is backed by The National Center for Family-Integrated Churches, so naturally the film is biased towards youth being integrated into a church service rather than in silos of age segregated classrooms.
Divided the movie leads with George Barna's 2002 research that around two thirds of young people are going to leave the church.
We're losing about 40% of them by the end of middle school and another 45% by the end of high school. In other words, we are losing them way before college.
– Ken Ham
For now, you can watch the free documentary online at DividedTheMovie.com. If you are a pastor, youth minister, or children's minister, I recommend watching it regardless of your theological stance or methodology. It presents some very good thoughts that run cross current against the mainstream Western church system of how to disciple youth.
With that said, Divided the movie has also received its fair share of controversy and criticism, specifically that it is too one-sided. So watch the documentary then balance it out with a few key thought leaders that have already weighed in on the discussion:
Mark Oestreicher // The Youth Cartel:
>> Let's start with that straw man thing. If you're not familiar with the phrase, the idea is that it's easy to tear down an idea or set of ideas if you construct a fake version of the idea in the first place. That approach is employed throughout the film.
>> Throughout the entire film, the "experts" (who are all from an extremely right wing edge of the church; there's not even a moderate interviewed) are there to offer soundbite, emotionally packed, fear-tinged, support of the film's points.
>> There was no genuine journalism. What there seems to have been is a well-funded donor with a pre-determined set of agenda items.
>> I want us all to talk about this stuff, because I think it's massively important. I applaud the filmmakers for taking a risk.
Walt Mueller // Center for Parent/Youth Understanding
>> My feeling about the film after one initial viewing – that this is an extremely biased film that was not made as a result of Philip Leclerc's stated desire to embark on a fact-finding journey, but rather that the film was conceived and made with a bias and agenda that existed long before the first clip was ever shot.
>> Divided is a not so much a documentary as it is a promotional piece for the National Center for Family Integrated Churches.
>> Divided is a film that asks some very good questions and addresses some issues in youth ministry and the church that must be addressed. There are things we need to repent of in youth ministry.
>> Viewers need to remember that what they are seeing and hearing in the film is mediated. Sadly, it's mediated in an imbalanced manner.
>> I believe that the film asks good questions about age-segregation in worship. It just shouldn't happen. I've been trumpeting that for years and so have many others in the youth ministry community. But again, there are times when we can separate from each other to be nurtured in age-appropriate ways.
>> What Leclerc does is what so many documentarians do: he chooses his representatives very, very carefully. He chooses the intellectuals of the FIC to represent his view and chooses the young and foolish to represent the other side. It's hardly subtle and not at all fair. He builds his case on a cliche.
>> I think we need to see it for what it is. This is a movie that heavily promotes a very obvious agenda. It does not take long for us to learn that Leclerc is a member of a Family Integrated Church and that he has been for many years. This then casts doubt on this journey he is taking. Is it a true journey to learn a better way to do church? Or were the questions answered long before the film shoot even began?
>> Perhaps my biggest disappointment with the film, then, is it lumps all non-integrated churches together.
>> It majors on the minors, making family integration the pivotal and central doctrine for the church. It identifies a genuine problem but attempts to solve it in a way that elevates methodology instead of the gospel message.
Personally, I think it is a great documentary because it covers unchartered ground. It challenges status quo thinking and gets viewers to ask questions.
Yes, it is very biased, but what documentary isn't? (rhetorical sarcasm) I'd rather have the bias be blatant than a cleverly subtle approach that hoodwinks my worldview. I, too, wish it had a balanced panel of experts. But as with any documentary, it is the viewers' responsibility to balance it out by researching other facts and perspectives.
What's your opinion?

dang it! i just jailbreaked my iPhone 4.
I could be wrong, but that's my understanding. So I am going to have to answer your question with, "Yes."
--Just looking over the various documents (as reported by other sites)--looks like the changelog for this version is a big cup of "no changes" with a couple minor API tweaks. This version better have impeccable battery life, faster and more capable Siri functionality, the ability to know what I want for lunch before I do, and solve world poverty, hunger, and strife...
So I have an interesting question. I am not planning on installing this 5.1 release because I am on 5.0 holding out for the untether, but what happens to all us fine folk on 5.0 with a tethered JailBreak when the untether method comes out? Its probably not a good idea ( if even possible ) to re-jailbreak an already tethered jailbroken and heavily modded device wih a new jailbreak method is it? Traditionally I would have restored using my blobs and then jailbreak from a fresh restore to eliminate issues but with that no longer being possible with IOS5 how is this going to work? If I'm right then the coming 5.0 untethered jailbreak is really only going to be useful for people on stock unjailbroken 5.0 , or am I just being worried for nothing?

TWO men whose lives revolved around football in very different ways will come face to face at an event in Bidford later this month.
Former Portsmouth Premier League footballer Linvoy Primus will share the stage with ex-professional football hooligan Gram Seed at The Barn, the home of Bidford Baptist Church, in Waterloo Road, on Friday, May 23, at 7pm.
Once on different sides, Primus a popular player at Portsmouth where they named a stand Linvoy Primus Community Stand, and Seed, a former Middlesborough-based criminal, alcoholic and self-proclaimed tramp, the pair have both now turned to Christianity.
Primus is involved in the Christian charity Faith & Football and has walked the Great Wall of China to help raise £100,000 for their cause. In 2007, he released his autobiography, "Transformed", which details his conversion to Christianity.
And Seed set up a charity called Sowing Seeds Ministries which brings the Christian message to prisoners and ex-offenders. His book "One Step Beyond" won the 2010 Christian Book Award after a public vote.
The event, organised by Cornerstone Men's Breakfasts, at The Barn will see the pair talking about their experience with plenty of chance for questions from the audience about the pair's life and faith.
Tickets, priced at £5, including food, are available at csmb.org.uk or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Yesterday was my turn to brave the new Standard Time. Weather was also cool enough for some comfort food, so I fired up a tritip. I first gave it a coarse S&P dose, and a balsamic marinade bath. I included some good size mesquite lump chunks on the charcoal for that nice smoke:
Had to get it closer to well done because my brother was dining with me, which was pefectly acceptable anyway-- retained it's tenderness very well. After resting a few minutes, I incorporated the juices into the gravy and made for a couple happy bellies.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/9/2011 (2177 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
OTTAWA - A man who would later command Canadian troops during the war in Afghanistan was deep in the back woods of New Brunswick the day al-Qaida struck with fury in New York and Washington.
Jonathan Vance, who commanded both Canadian and American troops for almost 15 months in the killing fields of Kandahar, was on an exercise near Petersville, N.B., outside of the army's training base at Gagetown.
An intelligence officer passed a note to one of Vance's staff. The major read the scrap of paper with silent disbelief before announcing the news that not only changed his life, but the lives of all of the men around him.
"The World Trade Center has been hit by a jet. They think it's a terrorist activity," Vance recalled the officer saying.
Vance — at the time the newly minted commander of 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment —turned to a satellite television that had already been set up just in time to see the second plane strike the twin towers.
"I thought: 'Oh, crap,'" he said.
The battalion was field-testing new LAV IIIs. The light armoured vehicle would become one of the most recognized symbols of Canada's desert war.
The troops were ordered back to Gagetown to assist in handling the wave of commercial jets landing in Canada.
"It was the first day I'd heard the word al-Qaida," Vance said in an interview last winter with The Canadian Press. "I just wasn't moving in those circles — or reading those journals at the time."
The ensuing years would be a bruising learning curve.
The aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, fundamentally reshaped the Canadian military in ways the public is just beginning to understand, said historian Desmond Morton.
The nearly 10-year combat mission in Afghanistan casts the longest, most obvious shadow. Without 9-11 there wouldn't have been a campaign in Kandahar, nor 157 deaths and the public treasury would likely be heavier by more than $11 billion.
But Morton said there has been a subtle, yet profound shift not only in public attitudes toward the military, but in the political culture which treated the forces more like a glorified constabulary.
"Today, if the military asks for something, it gets it, whatever the cost, whatever the quantity," said Morton. He pointed the Conservative government's determination to spend billions on F-35 jetfighters as proof of the shift.
The aftermath of 9-11, particularly the war in Kandahar, has allowed the military to reclaim its place as a respected national institution.
Soldiers, who in the 1990s had been reluctant to wear uniforms in public following the Somalia torture scandal, suddenly found themselves faced with total strangers buying them coffee — or even lunch. It was the perk of a grateful nation.
Ordinary citizens flocked to windy stretches of Ontario's Highway 401 to mourn dead soldiers as their hearses passed throughout the war in a spontaneous display of grief.
For ordinary troops today, those who had not already been in uniform, 9-11 was the galvanizing call to arms that continued echo throughout the decade.
Pte. Gordon Farmer, currently serving with the headquarters that's packing up combat gear in Kandahar, pointed to the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington as his motivation for enlisting.
Farmer, working as a paralegal in his hometown of Hamilton, remembered Sept. 11 as having been "a kind of lazy day around the office" until the news broke.
"I almost didn't believe it," he said.
Farmer dabbled with the military in the years following, but didn't sign on the dotted line until 2008 when it was clear Canada was mired in a deadly shooting war.
He wasn't alone. The combat mission in Kandahar was, among other things, a bloody recruiting newsreel for young men eager to fight.
Figures released last June show that the more intense the fighting, the more volunteers there were for military service. The numbers rose steadily throughout the decade and reached, at one point, levels twice those at the beginning of the mission.
The Canadian Forces processed 25,738 applications in 2009-10, up dramatically from the 2001-02 fiscal year, when applications numbered 13,504.
Morton said the same sort of patriotism played out during the First and Second World Wars, albeit on a much smaller scale.
The attitude of Canadians, in response to Britain's declarations of war, was best described as "Ready. Aye. Ready," said Morton, a professor emeritus at McGill University and an adviser in the 1980s to former prime minister Brian Mulroney.
What 9-11 demonstrated was how tightly bound Canada was to the United States — ties many Canadians took for granted.
"We've benefited (economically) from being part of the American empire for decades," he said. "We had not paid the price of being in the empire."
The war in Kandahar was a searing experience for the nation, but Morton said he doesn't think it will make the current — or even future governments — more reluctant to commit ground troops to a war.
"We've changed," he said. "The world has changed."

Statement by Ambassador Wittig at the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals
Statement as prepared for delivery by Ambassador Wittig at the first formal meeting of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals
"Thank You, Mr. Co-chair for giving me the floor. Let me also congratulate the two co-chairs for their election. I wish them all the best for their future work.
At the outset allow me to thank the two co-facilitators who have worked very hard over the last days to reach agreement on all issues related to the organisation of this first formal meeting of the group.
Let me also associate myself with the statement made by France, which is chairing the French-German-Swiss team in the Open Working Group in the month of March.
Germany is very committed to contribute to the work of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals and keen to start the substantial work. We have the task to deliver no less than a meaningful contribution on how our countries, our economies and our societies may prosper sustainably in the decades to come. We will need courage and inspiration to create the future we want.
Development can only be sustainable if all three dimensions of sustainability are taken into account on equal footing. Today there is no doubt that sustainable development concerns all of us, not merely the South or merely the North.
Eradicating poverty, improving the living conditions worldwide and securing the planet's ecosystem services are the great challenges of the future. They are interlinked and must no longer be treated in isolation. Their growing interdependencies require a much more holistic approach to development than the one we practiced in the past.
Let me mention three key aspects, which we need to address in our future work:
First: These new goals are going to be universal and valid for all countries, yet they need to be meaningful and applicable for each and every individual state. They need to reflect all three dimensions of sustainability in an appropriate manner, yet be concise and easy to communicate. And we need to have them measured so that we can see the progress.
Second: We also need to take into account the interlinkages between different sectors, for example between water, energy and food.
Third: We need convergence. We need to merge the post-MDG-process and the SDG-process. As the SDGs are supposed to be integrated in the overarching post-2015-UN development agenda, both processes must be coordinated and dealt with as one process as early as possible. The world needs one set of goals to respond to the global challenges of poverty eradication and sustainable development. These goals are going to address all countries worldwide. And: A strong national commitment for sustainable development in every country is key to cope with the global challenges we are facing today.
Mr. Chairman, let me also stress the importance of stakeholder participation. Effective and innovative participation mechanisms are of utmost importance to give them visibility and make their voice heard. I am convinced that input from stakeholders and experts will enrich our discussions and contribute to our work substantially.
To conclude let me remind us all that a historic chance is given to us here: to jointly elaborate a strategic document that will globally serve as a guide for sustainable development. It is in this spirit that I want to encourage us all to do start our substantive work and fulfill the task given to us by our heads of state and government in Rio – to submit a proposal for SDGs to the General Assembly in autumn next year.
I wish us all fruitful discussions today and a successful work in the months ahead.
Thank you."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The NCAA is hoping more in-depth explanations give fans an inside look at the tournament's selection process.
For the first time, the selection committee unveiled its list of all the seeds from 1 through 68, as well as the top seven teams that did not make the field. It was all revealed during an hour-long television show.
What committee chairman Jeff Hathaway acknowledges is that schedule strength continues to play a major role in determining what teams are chosen and how teams are seeded.
But much of the process remains subjective.
Xavier athletic director Mike Bobinski, the committee's vice chairman, says Iona, the lone controversial at-large pick, was chosen because it's a very good team that he saw in person and believes will hold up well in the tournament.

George Zimmerman's wife is filing for divorce, according to the former neighborhood watch volunteer's older brother.
Robert Zimmerman, Jr. says an attorney for his sister-in-law,
, is preparing to file paperwork to end the couple's marriage after six years.
Attorney Kelly Sims told The Orlando Sentinel the decision was made "after much soul searching and recent disappointments."
The divorce announcement marked the second time Zimmerman was in the news on Thursday.
Earlier, it was reported that Zimmerman was stopped for speeding for the second time this summer.
Zimmerman was pulled over Tuesday morning in Lake Mary, Fla., and issued a $256 ticket for going 60 mph in a 45-mph zone. In July, he was pulled over in Dallas for speeding but was issued only a warning and let go. This time, he'll get 3 points on his license, unless he successfully contests the ticket or takes an online driver improvement course.
"George Zimmerman is kind of like the Loch Ness Monster — anytime you get a glimpse of him, it's making international news," said officer Zach Hudson, a spokesman for the Lake Mary Police Department, which issued Zimmerman the ticket.
Both developments come months after George Zimmerman was acquitted of murder in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin. Last week, Shellie Zimmerman also found herself in court as she pleaded guilty to perjury for lying during a bond hearing for her husband.
George Zimmerman did not attend the hearing where his wife was sentenced to a year's probation and 1000 hours of community service for the charge.
Hints that the marriage was in trouble surfaced several days later when Shellie Zimmerman told ABC News that her husband's trial put a strain on their marriage.
"I think we have been pretty much like gypsies…We've lived in a 20-foot trailer in the woods, scared every night that someone was going to find us and that we'd be out in the woods alone and that it would be horrific," she told ABC News.
Thursday afternoon, Robert Zimmerman asked people on Twitter to pray for the couple.

MarkLuvsCS - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - linkA demo of Kal-El at least shows they have it up and running. If they can get a bit better battery life with that seemingly smooth playback of 1080p utilizing around ~50% of 4 cores. Hopefully we'll see some new tablets before the end of the year! Reply
Guspaz - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - link50% of four cores to play 1080p video is a big problem, because they shouldn't be doing video decoding on the CPU. Offloading video is extremely important on an SoC platform. Reply
ganeshts - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - linkI just hope it is a sign of immature drivers :)
Ideally the usage on all the 4 threads should be close to 0 (The 'VPU' engine should do the full decode acceleration) Reply
yyrkoon - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkYou forgot the most important part.
ARM prides its self in low power consumption. ARM A9 ( or is it really A15 . . .4 cores . ..) has very light power consumption. I do not know about this particular processor/setup, but it would not be too much of a stretch to think this setup is using 2-4 WATTs. Before LCD screen usage.
There have been demos of ARM A9 dual core beta products using 2W while doing the same task. Though in Chrome OS. 2W while playing back video. Without dropping frames.
After that. Considering that a Tegra 3 system can be comparable to a Core 2 LUV system in performance . . . Well, lets just say "Atom who?". Reply
micksh - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkYou forgot the most important part.
DSP normally does most of of the video decoding on ARM. If DSP was utilized CPU usage and power consumption should have been lower.
If iPad CPU used 2 Watt during video decoding it would not have been able to provide 10 hours of video playback. It's got 25 watt-hour battery and display consumes most of it.
CPU+DSP+everything else have to consume less than 1 Watt for good battery life. Reply
micksh - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - link"CPU+DSP+everything else have to consume less than 1 Watt."
Except display, of course, I should clarify. Display will consume 1-1.5 Watt.
It's hard to do that without DSP and it's hard to fit more than 25 watt-hour battery in slim tablet. So they better have DSP drivers working. Reply
yyrkoon - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkKey word; notebook. Not a tablet. I doubt very seriously the iPad will compete performance wise with an e7300 CPU performance wise. Reply
yyrkoon - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkAlso, let us not forget, this is still early stage. Microsoft probably has not optimized is software for ARM just yet. Drivers probably could use some work too.
Still even though I think low power is great, there comes a point when too low, is . . .well too low, and performance then should be given more consideration. Reply
Guspaz - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkWindows on ARM is interesting, but Microsoft has been skating around any sort of question about compatibility. Obviously anything .NET is going to work fine, but what about everything else? They've been hinting (but I don't think outright confirmed without later hedging) that they'll not have any sort of emulation for x86 core. What, then, about fat/universal style binaries? What will they be doing to ensure that there's actually software to run on these things? Reply
softdrinkviking - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkCould you give an example if something not .net that is really important for Win8 to succeed on ARM?
There must be plenty of ARM based software out there already, and I would hope the quality will get better now that MS has signed on.
I guess I'm still a little confused about the supposed cross-platform compatability of Win8. Will we really have to get different programs for an ARM vs an X86 variant?
I can see that becoming a real bummer, especially if you happen to own an ARM tablet and an X86 desktop. Reply
Spivonious - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkYeah, they need to solve that one.
I can see App Store purchases having both versions with one purchase, but legacy apps are a non-starter on ARM. Although I have trouble coming up with anything I'd want to use on a tablet that I use on my desktop.
Still, including a basic x86 emulator on the ARM tablets wouldn't be out of the question. Reply
softdrinkviking - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkI think that intel wouldn't allow it. At least not until ARM is in a position to cross-license. (from intel's point of view) Reply
Penti - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkEmulator is software, so shouldn't be an issue. Microsoft however have shown no sign of implemention such a solution. Reply
GullLars - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkTHIS IS SPAM
Anandtech needs a "Report Spam" button next to "Reply". And also a "Delete" and/or "Edit" button on posts you have made. Reply
ganeshts - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkTook care of that ...

speculatrix - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkPlease, microsoft, use the fact that all windows apps will be recompiled from source to cut out all the legacy dross from the windows API and make it a clean and slim system.

snarfbot - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkthis is going to be amazing in a netbook if they can keep the prices down. are we finally going to see usable $200 netbooks? that remains to be seen but im hoping.
in the future if nvidias roadmaps are to be believed tegra is going to be potent even in the desktop area, at least relative to gpu performance. the successor to the a15 is supposed to add multithreading of some sort as well, its going to be a real beast.
i mean with the pull that nvidia has with game devs, it isnt so hard to believe that were going to get games ported to arm as well, and id be suprised if valve doesnt port their source games over.
all nvidia has to do is get some version of tegra into a next gen console and theyve got it made.
its all really exciting! Reply

Did you know?
There are still some active gold mines in the Pilgrim's Rest area.
The Prospector's Hiking Trail in the Pilgrim's Rest area of Mpumalanga offers you a variety of scenic hikes with a difference – you get a history lesson along with the beautiful scenery.
Gold was discovered in the Spekboom River in 1871 and two years later the gold rush was on. Fortune hunters from around the world made their way to the little town of Pilgrim's Rest hoping to strike it rich. At one stage over 1 500 miners were working up to 4 000 claims in the upper, middle and lower camps.
Today you can choose from five different Prospector's Trail options that relive the history of those heady times as well as introducing you to some of the natural attractions of this lovely scenic area.
Hike the two-night Peach Tree Creek Trail, which takes you to the diggings where you'll experience the lifestyle of those early diggers. You'll climb the coco pan tracks that served one of the mines, cross the Blyde River and follow a historic railway line, walking through grassland and indigenous forest, before climbing down into Pilgrim's Rest itself.
In this historic little town – a living museum – you'll visit the old hospital and the 'Robber's Grave' at the evocative cemetery. The story goes that the robber, who was convicted of raiding the miners' tents, was shot and killed on Cemetery Hill. His grave faces a different direction from all the others, forever branding him a thief.
If you've more time and are very fit, then hike the five-night Prospector's Trail, rated as 'very difficult'. Although this hike requires one to be in tip-top shape, you'll forget your aching feet when you view the diverse scenery, listen to the birdsong, cool off in the mountain streams, and maybe even get a glimpse of the wild horses – descendants from the pioneer past.

Hello everyone,
I am sure others may have encountered this problem but I have not been able to find a solution on the forums.
Recently I have started using Frontline SMS on the T-mobile network here in the UK. I am using a T-mobile internet dongle/modem as my hardware (Huawei E173).
It seems to take extremely long to send 70 messages. Its far slower than if it was to be done on a mobile phone. Could you advise why this might be and what could be done to speed things up?
Best Wishes

Harlequins returned to the top of the Aviva Premiership thanks to a 25-21 win over Leicester Tigers at the Stoop.
Leicester, runners-up last year, outscored Quins by two tries to one, but Ben Botica's 100 per cent kicking record proved too much.
Danny Care, back from England international duty, helped over-turn a half-time 18-12 deficit with the hosts only try of the day - duly converted by Botica.
But it was the fly half's six successful penalty kicks that sealed the win and saw Quins reclaim top spot.
Quins go to bottom of the table, but in form, Sale Sharks this weekend.

Record numbers of Australians are travelling overseas as our dollar hovers around its record highs against most foreign currencies.
But many of those heading overseas are likely to be paying more than if they started shopping around earlier instead of leaving it to the last minute.
Consumer group Choice released research in July showing the extent of what it calls the ''cream-off'' enjoyed by the providers of foreign exchange.
The cream-off is the difference in what consumers pay and the rates that are quoted in the media - called the mid-market, or wholesale, rates.
The rate is quoted on the Reserve Bank of Australia website. Of course, consumers exchanging relatively small amounts of money can never obtain wholesale exchange rates. But the wholesale rate is an important marker by which consumers can compare the deals on foreign exchange before committing to a purchase.
A Choice member and maths expert collaborated with Choice on the research, which confirmed that leaving the transaction to the last minute and changing cash at the airport can be particularly expensive.
Choice obtained a quote over the phone from one foreign-exchange bureau at Sydney Airport.
It would have cost $86.40 for €50 on the test day as a result of the poor exchange rate and a minimum commission of 3 per cent, while the exchange at the mid-market rate would have cost $64.10 - a difference of 34.7 per cent.
''If convenience is the number-one decider of where to buy foreign currency, there is a trade-off for that convenience,'' the Choice spokesperson, Ingrid Just, says.
Choice also compared the exchange rates of the big four banks for the euro, pound and US dollar on the same test day. It found that three - ANZ, Westpac and NAB - had exchange rates that were about 4.5 per cent more than mid-market rates for cash and travel cards, not including fees.
Commonwealth Bank transactions were about 5.3 per cent more than mid-market rates for cash and travel cards.
It's important to remember that these margins to wholesale will change daily from bank to bank and so it is worth checking at the time of purchase to make sure it is still a competitive deal, Just says.
If you withdrew cash overseas using a debit card on the test date, the fees and charges would have added up.
A withdrawal from one of the big banks' savings accounts or debit cards while overseas would have had the consumer out of pocket 11 per cent more than the mid-market rate for €200, and about 17 per cent more for €50, once the fees were added.
More travellers are using travel cards. ''Consumers are becoming attuned to these fees that can come from accessing your own cash when overseas,'' Just says.
Travel cards can be a good solution. They overcome the currency exchange rate risk, as they can be loaded with a maximum number of foreign currencies at the prevailing exchange rates.
But consumers who miscalculate how much they will need can be hit by currency conversion fees when the consumer wants to pay in euros, but only has pounds left on the card, for example.
''You have to be organised and even then look at the fees and charges associated with them before you select the one that is best for you,'' Just says.
Getting to the bottom of which rates, fees and charges will be applied can be a tall order for consumers.
As both Choice and the expert discovered, the service representative at the providers often struggled to clearly explain the foreign exchange rates that applied. Providers' websites also need to be used carefully.
Some will have a currency converter tool, but may not factor in all the fees and charges, Choice says.

A previous article about commercially available colostrum substitutes has spawned questions about natural colostrum from a cow that lost a calf or from a dairy cow. An important factor that influences colostrum quality (immunoglobulin concentration) is the age of the cow. Heifers have poorer quality colostrum while older cows have the best quality colostrum. Another very important factor is milking stage. In general, colostral immunoglobulin concentration is halved with each successive milking, therefore the first milking colostrum has twice the immunoglobulin content of the second milking colostrum. Colostrum leakage and premilking both adversely influence colostrum quality. Purchasing colostrum from other farms should be done with caution. Diseases such as Johne's Disease may be transmitted from one operation to another via colostrum.
Cow calf producers are aware that natural colostrum must be ingested by baby calves within 6 hours of birth to acquire satisfactory passive immunity. However some calves do not have ample opportunity to receive colostrum. Perhaps the mother is a thin two-year-old that does not give enough milk or the baby calf was stressed by a long delivery process and is too sluggish to get up and nurse in time to get adequate colostrum. These calves need to be hand fed stored colostrum in order to have the best opportunity to survive scours infections and/or respiratory diseases.
Colostrum can be refrigerated for only about 1 week before quality (immunoglobulin or antibody concentration) declines. If you store colostrum, unfrozen be sure that the refrigerator is cold (33-35°F, 1-2°C) to reduce the onset of bacterial growth. If the colostrum begins to show signs of souring, the quality of the colostrum is reduced. The immunglobulin (very large protein) molecules in colostrum that bring passive immunity to the calf will be broken down by the bacteria, reducing the amount of immunity that the colostrum can provide. Thus, it is important that colostrum be stored in the refrigerator for only a week or less.
How long can the frozen colostrum be stored? We often answer this question flippantly by saying, "just as long as you would store frozen fish to eat!" Colostrum may be frozen for up to a year without significant breakdown of the immunoglobulins. However this is one example where improved technology is not in our favor. Frost-free freezers are not the best for long-term colostrum storage. They go through cycles of freezing and thawing that can allow the colostrum to partially thaw. This can greatly shorten colostrum storage life. Freezing colostrum in 1 quart in 1 or 2 gallon zip-closure storage bags is an excellent method of storing colostrum. Many producers have had great success using the zip-closure bags. Use two bags to minimize the chance of leaking, and lay them flat in the freezer. By laying the bags flat, the rate of thawing can be increased, thereby reducing the delay between time of calving and feeding. The freezer should be cold (-20°C, -5°F) - it's a good idea to check your freezer occasionally. Much more information about colostrum use and transfer of passive immunity is available from the OSU Fact Sheet F-3358 Disease Protection of Baby Calves.

There's an old saying that every state in the Union seems to have claimed as its own: "If you don't like the weather in (insert your state here), just wait five minutes." It's a cliché, but not a meaningless one — the weather can and does stop and turn on a dime in all 50 of this nation's states.
The market's winds have been changing a lot lately too, not every five minutes, but at least what seems like every day. The net result is a go-nowhere environment; the S&P 500 is right back where it was in mid-May, although it's been all over the map between then and now.
The listless environment has also made life miserable for stock-pickers, as I discussed on Thursday. In that commentary, I also offered six tips for surviving this kind of market, but since we have time — the market's not apt to start moving again today — I'd like to expand on one of the more important six tips I listed: "think holistically." So, here's a bigger-picture look at, well, everything … everything that matters, anyway.
Stuck in the Middle With You
While I have access to some of the fanciest trading tools in the world, more than a decade's worth of real-life experience has pretty much convinced me that the simplest tools are the most effective. And it doesn't get any simpler than moving average lines. Unfortunately, we're not getting any meaningful clues from them right now. Heck, it's the S&P 500 being tangled in the middle of all its key moving averages that verifies the market is trapped between a rock and a hard place.
I do see some key lines in the sand that are holding up, though.
Click to Enlarge I know Fibonacci lines might as well be stock-picking astrology for some of you. But, I also know they've acted as floors and ceilings more often than not, especially when there was no other floor or ceiling in sight. There's a big floor at 1,305 for the S&P 500. As long as the index stays on that side of the fence, I'll stay in the bullish camp.
Earnings … Not So Good
The good news is, nobody really expected much on the Q2 earnings front. The bad news is, stocks have struggled to even deliver on those lowered expectations.
Alcoa (NYSE:AA) for instance, got earnings season off on the wrong foot. Oh, the aluminum company topped earnings estimates of 5 cents by bringing home 6 cents per share. Problem is, that was way below the year-ago figure of 32 cents. Worse, with aluminum prices projected to keep falling, earnings could keep falling.
Marriott (NYSE:MAR) and Fastenal (NASDAQ:FAST) reported this week, too, with each topping last year's comparable, and with Fastenal topping this year's Q2 estimate. SAP Software (NYSE:SAP) told the market to it was going to beat earnings estimates. Signs of hope? Not so fast.
While only a handful of major corporations have posted last quarter's results, a whole slew of technology companies this week warned to not expect much when their second-quarter and foreseeable future numbers come out. Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT), AMD (NYSE:AMD) and Adtran (NASDAQ:ADTN) were on that list, along with 23 more of the tech names in the S&P 500.
Standard & Poor's still says the S&P 500 is on pace to earn $25.18 for the second quarter, which is the best Q2 ever, and would be the second-best quarter ever for the index. But that July 5 outlook surely doesn't yet reflect all the tech stock warnings.
It's a liability simply because the market hates surprising disappointment. Traders can handle falling income, but they react very badly to nasty surprises.
Any Excuse to Be Bearish
With all that being said, there's another, subtle clue we all may want to absorb; traders seem to be looking for a reason to be bearish.
Did you notice what happened to most other grocery companies Thursday after SuperValu (NYSE:SVU) posted Q2 results that were nothing less than horrible, then drove the nail in the coffin by warning things could be getting worse before they get better? What should have been good (or at least not bad) news for them torpedoed Supervalu's competitors like Safeway (NYSE:SWY) and Kroger (NYSE:KR). When Cummins (NYSE:CMI) warned its Q2 numbers would be weak, traders took it out other industrial names like Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) and General Electric (NYSE:GE) regardless of whether they deserved the punishment.
Point being, investors are willing to sell at the drop of the hat … another stumbling block.
Bottom Line
Yep, it's a good news/bad news situation, with the scales tipped toward the bad side of things. However, it's better to respond to what the market is doing rather than what it should be doing. What it is doing, via the S&P 500, is holding above a couple of key technical levels around 1,305. Until and unless that floor breaks, the downsides don't quite matter.
Just keep in mind stocks are a little lot more vulnerable than usual right now, and if that floor breaks, things could get real ugly in a hurry.
As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

- Shake well before use to ensure paint is thoroughly mixed.
- Depress nib a few times to start paint flow. The valve remains open and releases paint the entire time the nib is depressed, so if held down for a long period, a large amount of paint is released.
- When you see paint appear on the nib pause for a moment. Wait until paint has stopped travelling down the nib before depressing the nib again.
- When the nib is adequately saturated, test, then apply. Re-pump as necessary but never directly on artwork to avoid paint splodges. It can take a while for paint to start flowing on initial activation. This will not be experienced on subsequent use.

Sure, we're worth it. But headlines make it sound like Google is simply compensating their gay and lesbian employees for being more fabulous.
Google announced it will offset a tax liability same-sex couples incur that opposite-sex couples do not, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
When a company offers domestic partnership benefits, those perks — such as health insurance for a partner — are taxable as income.
When I looked at the cost of going on my domestic partner's health insurance, it would have been more expensive than buying a policy for myself as an individual. The domestic partner "benefit" amounted to an almost $200-per-month penalty.
Google is doing something about it. The company is paying the tax penalty incurred by gay and lesbian employees by increasing their compensation.

Going Out of Order: Samsung Announces Orion Cortex A9 SoCby Anand Lal Shimpi on 9/7/2010 1:34 PM EST

anactoraaron - Tuesday, September 07, 2010 - linkI've been waiting for dual core smartphones to come out before upgrading from my painfully slow, yet functional Nokia E63. The wait is finally coming to an end... Reply
Mike1111 - Tuesday, September 07, 2010 - linkWell, the 5x is not necessarily the same. LG talks of "up to 5x faster gaming performance over single core processors running at 1 GHz" and Samsung talks of "5 times the 3D graphics performance over the previous processor generation from Samsung". Gaming performance is not necessarily the same as 3D graphics performance. Also LG's point of reference is pretty undefined, but we have plenty of information and benchmarks of Samsung's previous processor generation and the SGX540 (Hummingbird).
I also wonder if Samsung is using a VXE video encoder for 1080p encoding. Unless they switched from IMG to ARM IP (e.g. Mali-400 multicore GPU and whatever video decoder/encoder ARM offers). Reply

piroroadkill - Wednesday, September 08, 2010 - linkAgreed.
As interesting as a Cortex A9-MPCore phone would be, better would be if we could get Cortex A8 @ 1GHz in almost everything, for a lower cost, on an ever shrinking process, to save power and size. Because to be honest, it's more than enough for most people. Reply

Teaching & Learning
The AHA's broad-based teaching mission includes making resources available to educators at all levels and at public history venues, introducing and integrating historians into the discipline, providing ongoing education for historians at every stage of their careers—through topical and professional sessions at the annual meeting, and by way of both innovative web resources and distinguished print publications.
Historians are equally concerned with learning—their own ongoing research and other activities that expand their mission to bring history into public life. The AHA provides resources to historians in all fields and career paths, and advocates for the profession as a whole.
Future of the African American Past
On May 19-21, 2016, the AHA and the National Museum of African American History and Culture co-hosted The Future of the African American Past. The conference was held at the National Museum of the American Indian and the National Museum of American History. More than 60 scholars gathered together to celebrate the upcoming opening of the NMAAHC and consider the future of the study of African American history. All sessions were recorded, and noted historians blogged on the sessions in the following days. Participants tweeted to #FutureAAPast.
AHA Statement of Support for Revised Framework for Advanced Placement U.S. History
The release of a new "framework" for the Advanced Placement examination in United States History has provoked controversy over the nature and content of the AP course. The AHA supports the direction that the College Board has taken with this new approach to Advanced Placement history education, as indicated in the framework and in the sample exam subsequently released by the Board.
Teaching Resources - NEW!
The American Historical Association has a long-standing commitment to teaching and history education at all levels, and supports teaching in a wide variety of ways. The AHA has developed resources for classroom teaching through the years, and the AHA Teaching Division is actively working on advancing conversations about teaching history. Find resources for use in your own teaching in our new Teaching Resources section, recently redesigned for greater easy of use.
AHA Tuning History Discipline Core
The following document represents the AHA Tuning Project's effort to describe the skills, knowledge, and habits of mind that students develop in history courses and degree programs. We have revised it since the first version was offered last fall. We articulate the ways history supports an educated workforce and citizenry and demonstrate that its value goes far beyond narrow professional training. Because we believe that any discussion of teaching and learning history must be faculty-driven, we have used the expertise of history faculty from nearly 70 different institutions to draft, debate, and revise our ideas. Grounded in the excellent work already done by the AHA and scholars of teaching and learning, we developed this set of core competencies and examples of specific ways students might demonstrate their competence.
Teaching and Learning Video Resources
Teaching is an essential skill for any historian, and the AHA works hard to produce resources for those teaching at all career stages and at all levels of history. Our Teaching and Learning video library includes workshops on K-12 and undergraduate teaching, reflections from historians on globalizing their US survey courses, and sessions on issues of vital importance to history education such as learning outcomes, dual enrollment, and the transition from high school to college.
AHA Teaching Prizes
Nominate someone today!
The Eugene Asher Award for distinguished postsecondary history teaching
The Beveridge Family Teaching Prize for distinguished K–12 history teaching
The William and Edwyna Gilbert Award for outstanding contributions to the teaching of history through the publication of journal articles
The Nancy Lyman Roelker Mentorship Award for teachers of history who taught, guided, and inspired their students in a way that changed their lives
A New Guide for Teaching in Civics, Economics, Geography, and History
In collaboration with over 20 states and 15 social studies content organizations, including the AHA, the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) has released a guide to help states strengthen their social studies standards. The "College Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies" encourages states to upgrade their social studies standards by offering robust guidelines to promote inquiry-based learning in civics, economics, geography, and history. AHA members and staff, joined by representatives of the Teaching Division, worked closely with the NCSS, state representatives, educators, and scholars to ensure that the standards demonstrate best practices in the discipline of history.

in development of a responsive web design,... in vertical menu 8-rows what is the trick at 100% display width,.. in 320px-499px mobile display appear a vertical menu 8-rows but in 500px-767px mobile display appear TWO vertical menus(propably one continued in 5th li tag to second row) 4-rows each 50% each of display...?
I do NOT mean for media query syntax(i know well this), but for alignment of li elements css syntax... well?
Do you have an example of where you have seen this so we can dissect it for you?
I can think of various ways of making two lists into one such as setting 50% width on the list elements so that they are floated side by side and then at small screen widths make them 100% so they fall vertically. Or you could use two separate uls with both blocks floated but at 50% width on larger screens and then 100% width and not floated on smaller screens so that the second block lines up underneath.
Or (although a little wasteful) you could have two unique menus with different structures and hide one or the other at the various screen width as required by the media query. A lot of mobile sites do this and display a menu button instead of a whole menu.
http://georgiosrafaelavilla.com/example.html have a look
Sorry I missed your reply yesterday.
Is that link the site you are working on or just one that displays the issue you want to mimic?
If you can clarify which lists should be side by side then I'll take another look but it will obviously involve a media query at some stage to change the property/values as required.
tell me code for this url example.html
yes i know media query needed so provide the code. that said is that i know media query theory not to explain to me. just create a media query 480<x<768, and put css in it...

Broken Shelves selling beer, wine, books in Sun Center
Published: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 5:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 5:37 p.m.
A new bookstore/bar opened April 5 on the southeast side of the Sun Center in downtown Gainesville.
Broken Shelves sells "good quality" used hardbacks and paperbacks in a variety of genres. The books line the shelves and lie on tables in a comfortable, eclectic living room-style atmosphere with artwork, chairs and couches. A handmade sweetbriar wood countertop lines a wall with large windows.
The store is a place to encourage and expand whatever customers are passionate about – whether it's reading, writing, drawing or knitting, said owner David Astor.
"It's sort of a pretension-free zone in here."
The beer and wine selection, which is written on a chalkboard, includes Orange Blossom, Terrapin, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio.
Astor, 26, sold rare books while in college. He is now working remotely on a doctorate in intellectual history from King's College in London while he runs Broken Shelves with the help of two interns.
Broken Shelves is open from 5 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. or later, depending on the night's events or crowd. The store is closed on Sundays and typically stays open later on Friday and Saturday nights.
On Monday afternoon before the store opened, a woman stuck her head in to tell Astor: "You had a full house this weekend. It was so charming."
Broken Shelves also sells "special" books, some of which are 50 to 60 years old and have been repaired -- and rare books, such as first editions by John Steinbeck and other authors.
Astor said his customers span a wide age range and that he is always interested in why they like a particular book.
"You never know why someone likes a book until you talk to them," he said. "Ten people can like the same book for 10 different reasons."

Yesterday a stack of back issues of the wonderful Fanzine Ynfytyn arrived. Fanzine Ynfytyn is by UK zine maker, photographer and general doer of things Emma Jane Falconer. She writes light-hearted zines full of favourites lists, amusing anecdotes and gentle witticisms. Descriptions, as usual, will take a few days to get up, but in the meantime just believe us when we say they're worth your time (as is Egeszsegedre!, another of Emma's zines, about travelling to Hungary).
We've also added another page to the catalogue called 'Other things to buy' which is where, (you guessed it) things that aren't zines will be relegated from now on, including Emma Jane Falconer's haiku ode to Ernest Hemingway postcard and the Church of Hysteria's CD and EP. We should say maybe that while we do want to keep the focus of the distro on zines, it being a zine distro and all, if you are a zine maker and happen to make something that you think might be of interest to us – things that started as zines and mutated into something else, very DIY music projects etc – do consider getting in touch if you're looking for distribution.
Likewise, if you have or know of any upcoming zine related events or call-outs and would like us to advertise them on this here blog we're very happy to, just get in touch: email@example.com.

Jones School Leadership
July 19, 2008 - Saturday morning when most of us were still sleeping, 32 Rice MBA student volunteers were working to make a difference in the lives of two families displaced by hurricane Katrina. They were working to complete two Houston Habitat for Humanity houses. These new houses will be homes for these families who have migrated to the Houston area. Students on the team came from both the daytime and professional programs. For some it was a time to reconnect before starting their last year at Jones. For others, it was their first introduction to the Jones family. Together, they worked to install siding and easements on two neighboring houses. The NCAA sponsored 10 houses which student athletes started building during the NCAA March Madness Basketball tournament hosted in Houston this year. With a few hours of work, a lot of sweat, a lot of water, and a lot of laughter, we helped Habitat finish their project and we made an impact on a fellow Houstonians' lives. This volunteer opportunity was organized by the Jones School's Net Impact Chapter.

Metrodome takes UK rights to Come Out And Play
EXCLUSIVE: Toronto Midnight Madness horror film is sold by Celsius' genre label Fahrenheit Pictures.
Metrodome Group has acquired UK rights rights to horror film Come Out And Play, which just screened in Toronto's Midnight Madness section.
Metrodome plans a 2013 theatrical release. The deal was negotiated by Thierry Wase-Bailey for Celsius' genre label Fahrenheit Pictures and Metrodome's Head of Acquisitions Joel Kennedy.
The film is directed by the mysterious, masked Makinov.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Vinessa Shaw star as a couple who take a holiday to an idyllic island off the Mexican coast, where they meet a merciless horde of homicidal children.
The English-language feature is produced by Mexico- and Los Angeles-based Canana.
Colin Geddes, programmer of TIFF's Midnight Madness, called Makinov "the Daft Punk of horror-film directors. Cloaking his true identity in a shroud of secrecy, Makinov wears a mask while working with his cast and crew, in an effort to enforce his personal vision of a cinema that detaches itself from the ego-driven model of the director."

Momentum Builds for Marriage in Maryland with Big Rally and More Senate Support
Postedon Feb 15, 2011 at 10:57 am
Hundreds of marriage supporters turned out for a Valentine's Day rally in front of Maryland's statehouse, and two more Senators pledged to support the marriage bill.
Two Iowa Senate democrats say loyalty to Gronstal trumps support for marriage amendment
Postedon Feb 02, 2011 at 10:00 am
A handful of Senate Democrats who would be the deciding votes on an amendment to ban marriage equality said Tuesday they won't join minority Republicans to force a vote this year.
Barring a change of heart, that means the effort to allow a public vote on a constitutional amendment to ban the freedom to marry is dead in the Iowa Legislature this session.
Video: Iowa Democratic Chair urges lawmakers not to be distracted by marriage ban
Postedon Jan 31, 2011 at 02:30 pm
Retaining the jobs we have and creating new ones, that's what Iowa's Democratic Chair says the state's lawmakers should be focusing on, not banning marriage equality.
Marriage equality arguments: This is about rights, speakers say
Postedon Jan 26, 2011 at 05:00 pm
A passionate debate took place at a legislative meeting in Iowa on Monday about a proposal that could ultimately eliminate the freedom to marry in Iowa.
Maryland lawmakers expected to act on marriage equality
Postedon Jan 26, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Maryland appears poised this year to expand the rights of same-sex couples, with the state legislature considering proposals on full marriage benefits as well as a compromise plan that would establish civil unions.
"This is about loving couples," Sean Eldridge, political director for the New York-based advocacy group Freedom to Marry, told lawmakers and supporters Tuesday at an event in Annapolis to promote gay marriage legislation.
Op-Ed: A gay agenda for everyone

Maryland majority leaders sponsoring marriage equality bills
Postedon Jan 24, 2011 at 10:45 am
The majority leaders in both the Maryland House and Senate are acting as lead sponsors of bills this session legally honoring the marriages of same-sex couples, a symbolic move meant to underscore the momentum behind the legislation.
Marriage equality could move forward in some U.S. states
Postedon Jan 24, 2011 at 09:30 am
A handful of U.S. states are poised to take up the issue of marriage equality afresh, due largely to incoming lawmakers who may tip the balance in favor of the controversial measure.
"The work of persuasion, of personal conversations, of talking to lawmakers and mobilizing against a well-funded anti-gay opposition" are among the primary tasks for the lobbying group Freedom to Marry, said founder Evan Wolfson. "With the freedom to marry within reach this year in states such as New York, Maryland and Rhode Island, now is the time to have those conversations and move marriage forward," he said.
BREAKING NEWS: In Iowa, GOP lawmakers trying to take away marriage equality
Postedon Jan 20, 2011 at 11:15 am
The new Republican-dominated House today revealed the first step in its anti-gay agenda, introducing a joint resolution that would allow Iowans to vote on a constitutional amendment to ban the freedom to marry.
Freedom to Marry's Evan Wolfson said, "Government should be on the side of all families, not putting barriers in their path as they seek to care for their loved ones. And the constitution should be respected as a shield of fairness for all, not used as a weapon to discriminate and harm."
Momentum in Maryland
Postedon Jan 20, 2011 at 09:45 am
Sen. Richard S. Madaleno, Maryland's only openly gay state senator, announced on Tuesday that he will be introducing a marriage bill.

Chitwood Bridge
Just about any place you find on TravelOregon.com can be added to your own Oregon Roadtrippers Account. Find out how.
Get on the road with Roadtrippers
We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
Not much activity occurs at Chitwood anymore. The Chitwood Bridge was once surrounded by several stores, a post office, a telephone office, and several houses. The boarded up remains of the Smith store nearby is a dim reminder of the vitality the community once had.
Logging in the area once boomed enough to support not only the stores, but also contributed to rowdy times in the Chitwood Dance Hall.
In the early 1900s Chitwood became an important rail stop for the steam locomotives from Yaquina to Corvallis, as the town was where the engines took on water and fuel, as well as passengers and freight.
The rails near the bridge are still used, but the train no longer stops at Chitwood.
Located west of Eddyville just off Oregon 20. The bridge sports a cedar shake roof, flared sides painted barn red and a wooden deck.

The time is the third best in school history.

I think this guy gets it just about right:
Welcome to the future
Many years ago and fresh out of university, I found myself in the Pompidou centre in Paris. I went primarily to laugh at the modern art, but instead had my first experience of future shock.
The centre's a mess. Its pipes are on the outside, making it architecturally weird, and presumably racking up the heating bills, but on the other hand allowing huge clean spaces full of pianos covered in grey felt and crushed saxaphones.
my main surprise, though, was washing my hands after going to the toilet.
This was the late eighties and I approached the sink expecting a knob to turn the tap on, only to find a bowl and a single spigot. There was no sign of a control anywhere.
I tried hitting the wall, in case it held a hidden button; then I tried pressing each of the floor tiles. Nothing.
A man appeared from a cubicle and did the same thing. After a moment, he began thumping the tap in the hope of getting a flow of water. Still nothing. Eventually, he gave up in disgust.
I carried on trying to work it out. I could see the tap functioned because the sink was wet, and I had a physics degree I still remembered. How hard could it be?
Ten minutes later I was still trying when another man arrived. Without a word, he placed his hands under the tap.
Activated by a single sensor, water poured out.

1. Re: Not receiving all text messages (LG revolution)vanessas_vzw Dec 15, 2011 4:36 PM (in response to dscribs)
Good morning dscribs.
I know some people mostly communicate via text message now days, even more than actual phone calls. Therefore, I can totally relate to needing to receive all of your text messages. Are you not receiving your messages altogether, or are they delayed? Does this happen at a certain time of day, in certain areas, or from certain numbers? The issue with Delayed, Intermittent, and Missing Text Messages has been brought to our attention. There is a software update being worked on to fix the delayed messages, and the missed messages issue is still being worked on. There isn't a release date for the new update, but when it becomes available, you will be notified on your device, along with the steps to complete your update to push the update through.
I'm happy to do some troubleshooting with you to see if we can get your messages to work. Please send me a Private Message, and I will follow up with you.
Thank you,
2. Re: Not receiving all text messages (LG revolution)tsvets Dec 15, 2011 8:30 PM (in response to dscribs)
I have been having the same problem and Verizon customer service has been unable to explain it or help. When I take out the battery and put it back in I start receiving texts (going forward), but I never receive the ones that didn't come through. It is completely unacceptable and I am furious. This has happened at least three times now. I am getting a different phone in hopes that this is an LG Revolution issue, but I swear if this happens with another phone and it is really a Verizon Wireless issue, I am going to switch.
3. Re: Not receiving all text messages (LG revolution)CGNJ Dec 20, 2011 4:10 PM (in response to dscribs)
I bought my LG Revolution on black friday and now I am starting to wonder if the "special price" $49.99 was worth it. I am not even sure I got a new phone but perhaps a refurb LG Revolution at that great price . I am having the same issues with texts. I am NOT receiving texts mostly from a Iphone user but he has verizon. It happens mostly during evenings and late nights. Also he tends to get my texts.. delayed like almost 10hours later ( this was a pic text) . I also get duplicate text messages... not just back to back but hour or two later. LOTS OF PROBLEMS HERE VERIZON!!!!! Not sure if its the 4G network or what.. but they better come up with a fix and an update. I am sick of this phone already and it has not even been a month yet
Other issues I am noticing:
Random phone turning off and on
Battery life sucks ( and NO i am not spending hours on it or have downloaded many apps at all)
Errors and forced closure of apps such as FB etc..
Going into the Verizon store tomorrow.. lets see what they can do for me..
4. Re: Not receiving all text messages (LG revolution)allisharrock Dec 20, 2011 10:55 PM (in response to vanessas_vzw)
This is happening to me as well. I've had friends not receiving my text and i'm not recieving theirs as well. I try turning my phone off taking out the battery and card, but nothing works.
5. Re: Not receiving all text messages (LG revolution)SammuelP Dec 22, 2011 10:59 PM (in response to CGNJ)
That is very strange that your Revolution is not receiving messages. Have you sent yourself a message to yourself? Does it come in or is it delayed? Are you using a 3rd party app for messages? As far as the delayed messages go, do you have delays in receiving picture messages, emails, or other notifications from social networks like Twitter or Facebook? Additionally, have you tried to do a master reset on your phone? If not please follow these instructions for the steps:
- From the home screen, touch Menu
- Touch Settings
- Touch Privacy
- Touch Factory data reset
- Tap Reset phone
- Tap Erase everything
Please answer these questions so I can resolve the messaging problem. Thanks.
6. Re: Not receiving all text messages (LG revolution)sk65405 Dec 28, 2011 12:11 PM (in response to SammuelP)
I am having the same issue with my Revolution. I have not received a text message since 11:08 pm on 12/26, however, my phone will send messages that come through almost immediately. Let's add this to the laundry list of problems I already have:
- This phone constantly freezes or hangs.
- It restarts itself 3-4 times per day.
- It hangs often, and whatever application I am using force closes. This is includes the home screen.
- Not receiving text messages.
I have already attempted troubleshooting on my own, because I have had to call customer support multiple times about this phone.
- Toggle airplane mode
- Remove 3rd party messaging app
- Reboot
- Factory Data reset
I am getting tired of having to download all my apps again. As much as I pay for wireless service, I should be able to get a phone that works, and doesn't restart itself when I am trying to use it.
7. Re: Not receiving all text messages (LG revolution)CGNJ Dec 28, 2011 1:14 PM (in response to sk65405)
After numerous factory resets and my sis in law having all the same issues and just being sent another lg revolution with same problems...... I got rid of the phone yesterday..luckily I bought it on black Friday so I was still covered under holiday return policy.
This phone literally drove me nuts everyday for one month. No one or nothing could fix it. I reported my issues numerous times and verizon should really stop selling phone until lg finds a fix. I Warned everyone in store who was looking at the revolution what a {word filter avoidance} it is!!!!!
Getting iPhone delivered tomorrow since I now have ipad2 and want to sync them of ether w iCloud .
Good luck to everyone with revolution if u can get rid of it.......
8. Re: Not receiving all text messages (LG revolution)dkla911 Mar 28, 2012 3:18 PM (in response to dscribs)
I'm having the same problem with not receiving text messages. It's been going on pretty much since I got the phone. I don't think Verizon ever really did come up with an upgrade to fix this, and the people at my local VZ store have no idea what causes it. I also have the issue of the phone dropping calls in the middle of a conversation or restarting itself mid-call, as well as the touch screen not working like it should - for instance, I can't disconnect a call until I tap the screen 8 or 10 times. I'm getting frustrated, and their solution is to send me a reconditioned phone...I have NOT had the best of luck with these previously (most of them had worse glitches than the phone I was replacing), so I'm hoping this works and I don't have to go the $100.00 insurance replacement route... This pretty much sucks....
9. Re: Not receiving all text messages (LG revolution)Verizon Wireless Customer Support Mar 30, 2012 3:38 PM (in response to dkla911)
Good Evening dkla911,
I know I would be concerned if my LG Revolution was performing the way you have described.
Have you verified that your software is up to date? The latest version is: VS910ZV8
Additionally, I recommend running the device in safe mode to see if the issues are being caused by third party apps.
If the handset still hasn't responded, please complete a hard reset.
I hope this information is helpful.
