A great storage, very convenient for people in Redlands and very friendly staff.Friday 13th April 2018 10:00:54 AM
So friendly and was a very quick and easy process.Thursday 5th April 2018 02:51:11 PM
Couldn't have been easier to get storage. They still had our details from the last time we used them and they were our first choice again this time around.Tuesday 27th March 2018 10:14:38 PM
Very obliging and very clear explaning the terms and conditions.Thursday 22nd March 2018 07:28:07 AM
I have been storing my stuff in my parents' back shed for the past couple of years and they were getting less stoked by the day. I have about 15 plastic boxes full of memorabilia and childhood collectables which are too special to throw away so I had to find a safe place to store them. So now all my boxes are safely stored in a small shed at Storage King Cleveland and there's heaps more space that I could fill if needed in the future. In fact, my sister is going to move some of collectables into the shed too, to free up space in her home garage. The space is cool, clean, pest-free and super easy to access. And I definitely loved the free trailer hire to move the boxes from my parents' place to its new home. Thanks Storage King! My whole family is pretty happy with you guys right now LOL!Wednesday 3rd January 2018 01:57:06 PM
Wow. Storage King made the whole process of decluttering ready for our house sale so easy. From the huge curtesy trailer we borrowed to the hoist lift and trolleys that made unloading and storing our goods such a breeze. Great value for money. Many thanks.Thursday 7th December 2017 06:48:26 PM
My experience with Storage King has been satisfying from the get-go. They are straight up about their pricing - compare that with some of the other businesses which hide behind annoying online Quote Request forms. Access is easy, and the storage space itself is well lit and ventilated. They re happy for you to put free-standing shelving (eg: hammer-lock style) in your room, which is a great way to really cram stuff in there efficiently!Sunday 4th October 2015 11:29:13 AM

Martin and his team at Storage King have been wonderful over the past 2 years we have had a shed. The storage unit is very easy to access, and the complex is always clean and tidy. Certainly recommend Storage King to anyone needing extra space !Monday 2nd September 2013 09:59:07 PM
I have been using Storage King at Cleveland for the past couple of months. This is the second time I have used this facility and have no hesitation in recommending it to others. My garage is now tidy and surplus furniture and household items that are not ready to dispose of yet are in a safe and secure place. The facility is always clean and tidy and my dealings with the staff have been professional.Friday 23rd August 2013 03:02:49 PM
I have been a customer at the Cleveland facility for nearly 2 years now. The site is always clean and tidy, and the staff are very helpful too! Highly recommended for anyone thinking of storing their belongings in a secure environmentWednesday 21st August 2013 11:09:56 AM
This is my second time returning to Storage King Cleveland, they are so fantastic and helpful!!!!! I always feel 100% confident that all my belongings are safe, which they always are. Martin is beyond helpful at Storage King Cleveland!!!!!Tuesday 20th August 2013 03:36:53 PM
We were stuck for space and Storage King Cleveland helped out quickly. The facilities are very clean and tidy. It s easy to access and the staff management are friendly and professional.Monday 19th August 2013 09:34:57 AM
Facilities are clean, convenient, staff are friendly and responsive promptly on any quires. I have recommended them to friends and work colleagues, the only regret is that I wish I had done this sooner.Monday 19th August 2013 08:42:08 AM
I have been with Storage King Cleveland for 2.5 years and they have been brillant with looking after my personal items. If I have any issues they are addressed immediately by management. I feel that this is a professiinaly secured establishment that values customer service.Monday 19th August 2013 07:35:01 AM
We have been extremely happy with the service and help from the Staff at Storage King. They have been very understanding if I had to phone and ask for my shed number (numerous times). The storage areas are great and always clean, well lite and great security. I would recommend them to anyone. Joe and Shanea LegardaSaturday 17th August 2013 01:18:12 PM
I have an Ebay business and often need to send antique items overseas, the staff are always helpful in recommending boxes and packaging, which is often difficult to find. The website is a great help in determining sizing for my items.The location is convenient for me as I live close by.Saturday 24th August 2013 02:50:54 PM
Cleveland Storage King is clean and easy to access. The staff are friendly and efficient.Sunday 18th August 2013 07:25:01 PM
Rating difficult to assess as I have never used a storage unit before the current one. At the time I started leasing the unit I remember thinking it seemed more expensive than I had expected especially when my accountant advised me that storage unit rental is Not tax deductable against the rental income from my property where the items stored had previously been located. However positives include: Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, courteous, efficient staff Clean well-kept premises Excellent location with easy access not on a busy main road ease of access to my unit itself availability of trailer office hours mean staff are readily contacted available website provides pertinent information and contact good selection of relevant retail items.Saturday 17th August 2013 05:45:50 PM

Argle Barglin'
To try and describe Clay to someone just doesn't do the man any justice. Mostly known for his voice work on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast (Zorak and Moltar), what many do not know was that he was also the animation director for the show. In fact, a fair amount of local talent worked on various SG: C2C episodes, including yours truly. That was the first time I ever worked with Clay. However, Clay and I haven't had too many opportunities to work together after that (I think it was 1998), which is unfortunate. He did help me out with some animation for those Electrasol commercials I directed (you know, the ones featuring the Jetsons), as well as Sonny's "freak out" scene in the Cocoa Puffs commercial currently airing, but other than that, not too much interaction.
Hopefully, this blog will offer Clay the chance to get those crazy stories and odd interests out there to the general public, where they deserve to be heard. He usually does the Comic-Con circuit from time-to-time, but here, the audience will be far greater than those venues. So go check his blog out now!
Oh, I just had to share this photo. It's been hanging up on my board here at work and it always makes me smile. What you see here is a rarity. To get all these guys together in one room takes an act of God, so enjoy this while you can. This was at Primal Screen's Christmas party, 2001. It was at a bowling alley, natch, and that's Clay in the middle.
Here are the guilty parties from L to R:
Me (holding Ava), Dave Strandquest (aka Dr. Strangetoons), Clay Croker, and Robert Pope.
This is a great shot of some of the most unique animators I've ever had the chance of working with. Oh, the stories these guys could tell....

his basement! you forgot to mention his BASEMENT!!ReplyDelete
he's got the best basement people. i go down ther and i have to stap a drool cup around my neck because there are so many cool collectibles and models and toys and orriginasl artwork..
agh. i gotta wipe off my keyboard.
The Rat Pack we ain't. And Dano is right. There's no basement to my memory that even comes close to the "why isn't this a TV show set" feel of Clay's. Thanks for posting the picture, Ward; I always get a kick out of how Strandquest looks like some sort of ghostly Iggy Pop-by way of Frankenstein's Monster floating head. WAAAH!ReplyDelete
Goodness, how could I forget The Basement! Yes, people, his basement is like a world unto itself. Nothing like you've ever seen!ReplyDelete
Pope, I have another shot of this crew, but Clay's not in it. Dave is mugging for the camera in that one, as well. Man! We need to get together sometime, don't we, Pope? Let's get Clay to have another one of his infamous parties!
"Shave the hair off and have at it!"
Is this one of the Jetsons commercials you directed?ReplyDelete
Aaron, I did not direct that particular commercial, but my co-worker, Jeff Fastner, did. I directed the other two spots on that campaign, the ones featuring Rosie the Robot and George Jetson. This one was the third, and most recent one.ReplyDelete

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright's daughter, Jeri, 47, is apparently in a heap of trouble. According to a report in the Chicago Tribune, the fiery preacher's daughter has been indicted in a federal probe surrounding alleged fraud.
She is currently facing two counts of money laundering, two counts of making false statements to officers and seven counts of delivering false grand jury testimony. Why, you ask? Allow us to explain.
Jeri Wright (left) and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright (right) (Photo Credit: AP)
Jeri, whose last name is also Wright, is being accused of helping a former police chief take monies from her non-profit organization to be used for personal purposes.
The new charges against the pastor's child emerge about one year after former Country Club Hills Police Chief Regina Evans was charged with fraud surrounding a grant that was awarded to her non-profit organization.
WGN-TV has more:
The organization, We Are Our Brothers Keeper, was apparently given a $1.25 million job-training award. Now, Jeri is being included in the alleged plot surrounding how the monies were utilized. The Tribune explains, in detail:
Jeri Wright of Hazel Crest is accused of helping former Country Club Hills Police Chief Regina Evans convert fake paychecks from Evans' nonprofit to Evans' personal use, allegedly hiding money that was supposed to be used to train minority and female workers in the building trades.
Federal prosecutors in the Illinois' central district say Jeri Wright received about $28,000 in grant-tied paychecks in 2009, but $20,000 of that was deposited back into accounts controlled by Evans. Prosecutors also say Wright then lied to officers and a grand jury.
As for Evans, the Tribune notes that her problems began after authorities accused her and her husband of using the grant money to pay friends and relatives and to cover the mortgage on another local property they own.
Evans is claiming she didn't do anything wrong.

Military hospital: Bergdahl appearance not planned
BERLIN (AP) — A U.S. military hospital in Germany where Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is receiving treatment says it currently has no plans for a press briefing or any interviews.
Bergdahl arrived on Sunday at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center following his release from nearly five years as a captive of the Taliban in Afghanistan. It remains unclear when he will continue to the United States but the facility in a statement Friday reiterated information released by the Pentagon that Bergdahl's health is improving daily.
Bergdahl has made no public appearance since his handover to the U.S. military on Saturday.

Up until now I automated all the management of eXo Forge services using classical shell scripts shared and stored in a SCM (Subversion) .
Even if it is working very well it has various limitations especially in term of maintenance.
Nowadays we can find various server configuration management (CM) tools to ease this maintenance and the management of servers.
I won't give you a fully detailed guide around these tools as there are already a lot of articles and documentations about them but I will try to give you an overview and a quick startup guide to play with them and to become a good DevOps citizen.
As it is often better and quicker to learn from others I would like to thanks two DevOps Masters that helped and inspired the poor padawan I am : Henri Gomez, Carlos Sanchez and R. Tyler Croy.

Invited by Canadian political party Quebec Solidaire to participate in the Parliamentarian and Local Councillors' Forum on August 10 2016 in Montreal, Canada within the framework of the World Social Forum, Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, Palestinian MP and chairman of the Palestinian National Initiative movement, was not granted a visa by the Canadian authorities as of yet and will not be able to attend the forum as planned as a result, like countless other Arab and African civil society members and social movement figures who were one after the other denied or not granted visas to attend the event.
According to the WSF's 2016 website, "The goal of the goal of the WSF 2016 is to gather tens of thousands of people from groups in civil society, organizations and social movements who want to build a sustainable and inclusive world, where every person and every people has its place and can make its voice heard." Considering the unmistakable pattern of visa denial to representatives from Arab and African nations, one can legitimately wonder about the Canadian authorities' vision for an inclusive world.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Derek Dietrich tied the game with his first major league home run, Juan Pierre singled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and the Miami Marlins dealt the Los Angeles Dodgers their eighth straight loss, 5-4 on Friday night.
The Dodgers blew an early lead for the second straight game in equaling their longest skid since dropping eight in a row from Aug. 22-29, 2008. Five of the losses have been at home, tying their longest such skid since May 28-June 11 last year.
Miami ended its own three-game losing streak in the matchup of cellar dwellers. The Marlins have the NL's worst record at 11-25, and got outscored 11-1 during a three-game sweep in San Diego.
At 13-21, the Dodgers are last in the NL West and have yet to win in May. Manager Don Mattingly is facing rampant speculation about his future with his high-priced lineup failing to contend.
Rookie Jose Fernandez (2-2) allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked two for his second major league win, having won at Philadelphia last weekend.
Steve Cishek pitched the ninth to earn his fifth save in six chances.
Ronald Belisario (2-4) took the loss, giving up two runs and three hits in 1-plus innings. He walked one and struck out none.
The Dodgers have scored three runs or less seven times during their skid. Sluggers Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier continued to slump, combining to go 1 for 8. Kemp struck out twice.
Rookie Matt Magill made his third career start for the Dodgers, giving up three runs and five hits in five innings. He struck out two and walked four in his second straight poor outing. The right-hander didn't make it out of the second inning last weekend at San Francisco.
Former Dodger Pierre singled to left field in the seventh, giving Miami a 4-3 lead. Adeiny Hechavarria grounded into a double play, scoring pinch-hitter Chris Coghlan, who doubled off the top of the wall in center field. The umpires reviewed the play and upheld second base ump Chris Guccione's original call after Marlins manager Mike Redmond came out to discuss it.
Los Angeles closed to 5-4 in the eighth when A.J. Ellis singled in Kemp, who led off with a single and stole second. They had the tying run on third when Dee Gordon grounded out to second base to end the inning.
The Dodgers loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth, but pinch-hitter Tim Federowicz flied out to center to end the inning.
The Marlins tied the game 3-all in the fourth on Dietrich's three-run homer with two outs. Placido Polanco and Marcell Ozuna sandwiched walks around a strikeout by Justin Ruggiano and a pop foul by Greg Dobbs before Dietrich sent a 3-2 pitch into the right field pavilion while playing in his second game.
The Dodgers staked Magill to a 3-0 lead in the first on Adrian Gonzalez's three-run homer. Carl Crawford led off with a single and Nick Punto walked to set up Gonzalez. They led 2-0 on Wednesday and ended up losing 3-2 to Arizona.
Notes: Dodgers RHP Zack Greinke and LHP Scott Elbert made their first rehab appearances for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga in its game at Lake Elsinore on Friday night. Greinke allowed eight runs — three earned — and six hits in 4 1/3 innings, struck out four and walked none. He broke his left collarbone in a bench-clearing brawl at San Diego last month. Elbert was expected to throw one inning of relief while rehabbing from left elbow surgery. … Marlins INF Chris Valaika had surgery on his left wrist and two pins were inserted Friday in Miami. He's expected to be out 6 to 8 weeks. … The Marlins shuffled their rotation for Sunday's series finale. RHP Tom Koehler will start in place of LHP Wade LeBlanc. … The Dodgers selected the contract of OF/1B Scott Van Slyke from Triple-A Albuquerque and optioned IF/OF Elian Herrera back to Albuquerque three days after he had been called up. They also transferred RHP Chad Billingsley to the 60-day DL. He had Tommy John surgery on April 24.

If you've got an older toilet, you're probably paying for twice the water you need for each flush. But never fear: toilet replacement is usually a simple job for the do-it-yourselfer with basic skills.
Listen to ON TOILET REPLACEMENT, or read text below:
First, close the water supply valve, flush, bail and use a sponge to completely empty the toilet and tank.
Uncap and remove the nuts from the base of the toilet, then detach the water supply line, starting with the tank end. If your toilet is a real antique, you may need to unbolt the tank from the bowl.
Get a little help to lift the old toilet off its bolts. Check that the waste line is still attached to the floor flange, and repair any water damage to the subfloor.
Clean out the remains of the old wax ring. Don't scrimp on a new one, because that wax ring is what seals and stabilizes your toilet.
Then follow the manufacturer's instructions to install your new toilet and start lowering your water bill!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles police officer who says he was harassed by other officers at Central Division because he's black was awarded $1.2 million in damages for emotional distress and mental suffering
Attorney Gregory W. Smith says a Los Angeles Superior Court jury announced the verdict Tuesday after deliberating less than four hours.
Officer Earl Wright alleged in the suit filed in 2011 that he was harassed since 2008 or 2009 and that the department failed to take his complaints seriously.
Smith says officers put up racist posters of Wright in the station, including one from the television show "Sanford and Son" with Wright and another black officer's face on it entitled "Wright/Davis Family Portrait."
Deputy City Attorney Daniel Aguilera says the city is examining its options for challenging the verdict.

Editors' note (March 4, 2010): The rating on this product has been lowered because of changes in the competitive marketplace, including the release of 2010 models. The review has not otherwise been modified. Click here for more information.
One of our favorite HDTVs of 2008 was the Samsung LN52A650, which has remained in our lab for more than a year as a comparison model representing LCD TVs that use a conventional backlight as opposed to LEDs. Now that 240Hz processing has arrived in force on the LCD landscape, we expect the Samsung LNB750 series to take up that mantle. This set outperforms the company's edge-lit LED-based LCD displays in most areas, including black-level performance and picture uniformity, and produced a better picture than any other LCD we've tested, aside from last year's LED-backlit models that utilize local dimming. It's definitely not perfect, however, and the best plasma displays still equal or surpass this LCD in overall image quality. But for people seeking an LCD and willing to pay a premium for 240Hz and interactive extras, the Samsung LNB750 series should make the short list.
We performed a hands-on evaluation of the 52-inch Samsung LN52B750 ($2899 list), but this review also applies to the 46-inch Samsung LN46B750 ($2399) and the 40-inch Samsung LN40B750 ($1999). All three sizes share identical features and specifications.
[Editors' Note: Some of the Design and Features elements are identical between the Samsung LNB750 series and the UNB7000 series we reviewed earlier, so readers of the earlier review may experience some déjà vu when reading the same sections below.]
The LNB750's coloration will attract less attention than that of most other members of Samsung's Touch of Color oeuvre. The faintest tint of translucent blue appears along the bottom edge of the frame, highlighted by the company's trademark, and happily defeatable, illumination directly below the logo. The rest is glossy black fronted by see-through plastic that extends beyond the edge on all four sides--although if you stare hard enough at the extreme edge of the frame, you might convince yourself it has a touch of blue too. In all we found the look tasteful and appealing, although we still prefer narrow-bezel sets such as the Sony KDL-XBR9 series.
Like Samsung's substantially thinner edge-lit LED-based LCD models, the 3.1-inch-deep LNB750 has a slick stand with a glass base and transparent stalk that gives provides the impression of a floating panel. As always, we appreciate the swivel action.
Samsung used the same menu system as last year, this time with ice-blue borders, and we still think it's one of the best in the business. Big, highly legible text is set against transparent backgrounds that occupy almost the whole screen. Getting around is easy, and there's helpful explanatory text along the bottom to describe the different selections.
The remote control is basically the same as last year's, too, aside from a new protrusion on the rear that keeps the clicker stable on a flat surface, and we're definitely fans--especially since Samsung ditched the rotating scroll wheel. The buttons are big, backlit, and easily differentiated by size and shape, and we liked the dedicated "Tools" key that offers quick access to picture and sound modes, the sleep timer, and the picture-in-picture controls. We didn't like the remote's glossy black finish, though, which picked up more than its share of dulling fingerprints after a few minutes.
The LNB750 series' major step up over the less expensive LNB650 models is the inclusion of a 240Hz refresh rate, which is twice as fast as the 120Hz refresh rate found on many other sets. The main impact of the faster refresh rate is improved motion resolution, although the improvement will be hard to see for most viewers. Samsung's Auto Motion Plus dejudder processing is also on-board, and new for 2009 it includes a nicely implemented custom setting that lets you tweak blur reduction and judder. See Performance for more information.
Samsung has added Yahoo Widgets to its higher-end sets including the LNB750 series. The system gathers internet-powered information nodules, called "snippets," into a bar along the bottom of the screen. The model we reviewed came with widgets for stocks, weather, news and Flickr photos, plus Yahoo video, sports scores, poker, trivia and Twitter--and more are sure to appear in the near future. For more information, check out our full review of Yahoo Widgets. That review was based on our experiences with a Samsung UN46B7000, and our impressions of the system on the LN52B750 are mostly the same, including its sluggish response time.
Other interactive features on this set abound. It can stream videos, photos and music from DLNA-certified devices via the network connection, as well from its USB ports, which can connect to MP3 players, USB thumbdrives and digital cameras (we didn't test this capability). There's also built-in "content," such as recipes, games, workout guides and a slideshow of high-def art and photos with music. We went into depth discussing the underwhelming content features last year, which are similar this time around, so for more details check out the Interactive section of the 2008 Samsung LN46A750 review.
Aside from the adjustable dejudder mentioned above, we also liked the myriad conventional picture tweaks, starting with four adjustable picture modes that are all independent per input. There are five color temperature presets augmented by the ability to adjust each via a custom white balance menu; three levels of noise reduction, including an automatic setting; a film mode to engage 2:3 pull-down (it also works with 1080i sources); a seven-position gamma control that affects the TV's progression from dark to light; a dynamic contrast control that adjusts the picture on the fly; a "black tone" control that affects shadow detail; and a color space control that lets you tweak the Samsung's color gamut.
You can choose from four aspect ratio modes for HD sources, two of which let you move the whole image across the screen horizontally and vertically. As we'd expect from a 1080p TV, one of those modes, called Screen Fit, lets the LNB750 scale 1080i and 1080p sources directly to the panel's pixels with no overscan--the best option unless you see interference along the edge of the screen, as can be the case with some channels or programs.
We appreciated the three power-saver modes, which further reduce energy use. Samsung also throws in picture-in-picture, an "E-manual" on a USB stick and even a customer care screen that includes the firmware version for when you need to call the company. We're also big fans of the new-for-2009 capability, unique among HDTVs, to get firmware updates via an online download, rather than making you go to the Web site, as was the case before.

Pebble Smartwatch – Wearable Computing
I backed Allerta's Pebble watch Kickstarter project yesterday; this is the second Kickstarter project I've backed. The Pebble e-paper watch extends your iOS or Android powered smartphone by connecting to it via Bluetooth; once connected (paired), Pebble can display notifications sent from your phone (calls, text messages (Android only), alerts, etc.), act as a music player remote control, and a whole lot more.
Pebble features an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller, a 1.26-inch 144×168-pixel black and white e-paper display with backlight, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, four buttons, a vibrating motor, a three-axis accelerometer, and a scratch and shatter resistant lens. The battery is expected to last more than seven days on a charge, and it's water resistant to boot.
Eric Migicovsky, Allerta's founder, has been developing smartwatches for three years. inPulse, Pebble's younger sibling, worked originally with Blackberry phones but was upgraded to work with some Android phones. inPulse has been popular despite some serious limitations, i.e. you could only install and use one App at a time. Pebble will have an App switcher built in so core functionality like notifications and the music player remote control can remain available even while an App is in use. To support this, Allerta added the ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller and 8 times more Flash memory and 12 times more RAM than inPulse.
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on my Pebble watch this Summer or Fall. I think wearable computing is going to be a big deal in the future, and I can see the use cases for Pebble in my life today. And a big congratulations to Eric and his team, they cleared $3M in backing today, on a goal of $100,000 – I'd say that's a pretty good indicator that wearable computing has a future. @pebblewatch

Great news, we're finally going to see the space horror flick Europa Report! Magnet has purchased the rights to Sebastián Cordero's found footage film, starring Sharlto Copley. Set aboard a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa, the film makes good use of the crew's copious stationary cameras. Here's the full synopsis which gives away more clues than before:
A unique blend of documentary, alternative history and science fiction thriller, EUROPA REPORT follows a contemporary mission to Jupiter's moon Europa, to investigate the possible existence of alien life within our solar system. Developed in close collaboration with NASA, JPL, SpaceX and other leaders in the scientific community, the film imagines the next step in manned space exploration and is based on recent scientific discoveries and theories.
In the press release, Magnolia President Eamonn Bowles had this to say about the picture:
"EUROPA REPORT is an exceptionally smart, thrilling film that will be a revelation for space enthusiasts and science fiction fans alike. Its nuanced attention to scientific detail lends it an exciting quality that elevates it above the usual genre fare."


text: Los Temerarios' bubblegum ranchera was the romantic soundtrack of millions of Mexican and Mexican-American youths' lives during the '90s. Combining elements of traditional Mexican ranchera music with keyboards, electric bass, and stately percussion, they created a sound whose appeal frequently took them to the top tier of Billboard' s Latin charts. Brothers Adolfo (b. 1963) and Gustavo Ángel Alba (b. 1968), from Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Mexico, were first exposed to the music business in the late '70s when their father rented a room in their house to local groups needing a place to rehearse. When the musicians left, the brothers would sneak in and practice tunes. They formed la Brisa in 1977, playing parties and weddings. They landed a record contract on CBS Mexico in 1983 and adopted their current moniker. Their early output comprised organ-driven ballads, rancheras, good-time cumbias, and even corridos. Local songwriter Samuel Guzman, who more recently has penned hits for los Rehenes, wrote some of their early songs. However, los Temerarios failed to have a major impact until the Monterrey-based indie Disa signed them in the late '80s. By then, Gustavo's voice had developed into a sugary cross between Art Garfunkel and George Michael, and Adolfo's songwriting skills were advancing. Sentimental ballads "Tu Infame Engaño" ("Your Infamous Deception"), "Ven Porque Te Necesito" ("Come, I Need You"), and "Sí Quiero Volver" ("Yes I Want to Come Back") solidified their reputation for dramatic melodies and pleading, if naïve, lyrics. By 1991, the group consisted of Adolfo on keyboards, Gustavo on guitar, cousin Fernando Angel on bass, Mario Ortiz on drums, and Carlos Abrego on percussion. Along with Fernando, the brothers formed Ángel Records in San Antonio in 1990 and released Lo Nuevo...y lo Mejor ("The New and the Best) the same year. This move caused legal difficulties with Disa, who claimed they still owed the company an album. The group continued releasing its U.S. material on Ángel (later renamed AFG Sigma, the initials for Adolfo, Fernando, and Gustavo) but remained on Disa in Mexico until 1994. The significance of los Temerarios' venture into the business side of music cannot be understated. While Mexico-based labels specializing in onda grupera enjoyed rough parity, FonoVisa was the juggernaut in the United States. It was nearly impossible for acts on other labels to make Billboard's Latin singles chart. The fact that los Temerarios were racking up impressive chart numbers on their own label made them the most obvious chink in FonoVisa's armor. AFG Sigma bolstered its status as a real alternative when Temerarios protégé Zeus made the album charts in 1992, and the label picked up veteran groups Mister Chivo from FonoVisa and Conjunto Primavera from Joey. But Zeus split up in 1993, and the label found itself with more bands than it could promote. By 1996, not even los Temerarios' singles were charting well. Former adversary FonoVisa made a generous offer to buy the company, and before the year was out, the deal was done. But of the dozens of acts signed to AFG Sigma, only los Temerarios and Conjunto Primavera got past FonoVisa' s velvet rope, leaving the rest of the roster to find another deal. FonoVisa dramatically illustrated its way with radio when the fourth single from Camino del Amor ("Path of Love"), "Cuando Fuiste Mía" ("When You Were Mine") charted higher than the first, second, and third singles, which had been released on AFG Sigma. Ironically, by then, Disa, EMI Latin, and PolyGram Latino had made inroads on FonoVisa' s supremacy in the U.S. market. The 1991 release Mi Vida Eres Tú ("My Life Is You") propelled the group to superstardom. The unique sound of the title track, which backed mariachi instrumentation with electric bass and a dramatic crash on each bar's second beat, became a standard and spawned legions of imitators. Though four singles were released from the album, the material was so consistently strong that radio often played album tracks. Critics considered the lyrics banal, but young fans identified with the themes of romantic loss and heartbreak, influenced by the songwriting of Juan Gabriel and José Alfredo Jimenez. Fans also appreciated the group's jacket-and-tie dress code, which set it apart from polyester-clad contemporaries and soon inspired a host of imitators. The group added a calliope-like keyboard sound to its 1993 release Tu Última Cancion ("Your Last Song"), and the soft rocker "Una Tarde Fue" ("It Was an Afternoon") featured steel guitar. Camino del Amor, from 1995, continued in the same vein, as the group straddled the line between pop balladry where it cited Kenny G and Neil Diamond as influences, and the mariachi-influenced style first heard on Mi Vida Eres Tú. Gustavo tried out a ranchera-influenced vibrato vocal on "Por Qué Te Conocí" ("Why Did I Get to Know You"), the first single from the 1998 album Cómo Te Recuerdo ("How I Remember You") and the group's second number one on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks in the span of a year. The album offered no surprises. The spate of kidnappings that hit Mexico in the '90s affected the group, as the Angel brothers' father was kidnaped in 1997 in Zacatecas. He was returned alive but minus a finger. The group also ventured into movies, appearing in Sueño y Realidad (Dream and Reality) in 1993. In fall 2000, the band collected an award for Best Grupero Performance for En La Madrugada Se Fue at the first annual Latin Grammy Awards. The album Poemas Canciones y Romance was issued a year later. ~ Douglas Shannon

Researchers test drug combinations to prevent graft vs. host disease
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have conducted a clinical trial aimed at preventing graft vs. host disease (GVHD) in patients who have received hematopoietic (blood) cell transplants (HCT). The study, comparing the drug tacrolimus (TAC) in combination with either methotrexate (MTX ) or sirolimus (SIR), found that the sirolimus/tacrolimus (SIR/TAC) combination was more effective in preventing grades II-IV acute GVHD and moderate-severe chronic GVHD after allogeneic blood cell transplantation.
The study randomized 74 patients, ages 16 to 70, to receive either SIR/TAC or MTX/TAC. Patients were stratified by donor relation (siblings or matched, unrelated individuals) and age.
Their study was published in a recent issue of Haematologica, the journal of the European Hematology Association.
"Graft vs. host disease poses major health problems for patients who have received hematopoietic cell transplants and threatens the long-term success of their transplant," said Joseph Pidala, M.D., M.S., a medical oncologist and study principal investigator. "Existing pharmacologic strategies do not adequately prevent acute graft vs. host disease following allogeneic hematopoietic (blood) cell transplantation, and effective acute GVHD prevention is an important clinical goal necessary to ensure the long-term success of transplantation."
According to the authors, their study design mandated at least one year of sirolimus therapy in order to both limit the risk from chronic GVHD development and to promote the patients' immune tolerance based on the "reconstitution" of the patients' immune cells, called regulatory T cells, or "Tregs."
"Our hypothesis was that SIR-based immune suppression would suppress alloreactive T cells, support the recovery of the immune system's Tregs, and more effectively prevent GVHD," explained Pidala.
Results showed that on days 30 and 90 post transplantation, SIR/TAC-treated patients had "a significantly greater proportion of regulatory T cells among the CD 4 immune cells in their peripheral blood" and their regulatory Tregs were "functional."
The authors suggested that the "net benefit" observed in Treg reconstitution with SIR/TAC-treated patients was likely due to both the suppression of immune systems' non-Treg CD4 T cells by sirolimus, as well as the lower tacrolimus exposure for these patients as compared to patients on the MTX/TAC arm of the study.

Torrington, area school students heading back to classrooms today; some towns remain closed
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, towns and crews across Connecticut are working to clean up the mess she left behind, leaving local schools to decide if they're ready to go back to normal. Before a decision can be made, Superintendents have to make sure the damage is all clear and safe enough for travel. Superintendents spent all day Tuesday working with local officials assessing Sandy's destruction.
For Torrington, Superintendent Cheryl Kloczko has decided it is safe enough to re-open Wednesday.
Although some towns are worse than others, Winchester School District is one of the luckier ones that will also be open Wednesday.
According to Superintendent Thomas Danehy "All schools have power and we didn't have any flooding which is a good thing." However, "22 percent of Winchester residents are without power" added Danehy.
However, not all schools are as lucky.
Torrington's neighbor, Litchfield will not be in session Wednesday due to road closures in several areas of town.
According to Superintendent Deb Wheeler "Our public works department is working with CL & P and we will be advised when that work is completed and the roads reopened."
Not only has Hurricane Sandy affected the re-opening of the school, but has impacted the school's sports teams.
"There were several games scheduled for our teams, however some games were moved to Sunday and others are with schools that also continue to be closed, so they will be rescheduled" said wheeler.
Despite not being able to open, Superintendent Wheeler said "Our schools fared well; no power outages and no damage."
Region 10 schools are on the same page. Superintendent Alan Beitman said he is anticipating that the school will be closed Wednesday. Beitman said a lot of roads are closed and has been working with road crews all day Tuesday as well as CL&P.
The storm has affected high school sports teams with competing in the interscholastic tournaments. They are waiting to hear from the SCIA about rescheduling since a lot of the teams they play, their towns are still out of power.
Hurricane Sandy has also affected the Region 7 school district who will remain closed Wednesday due to unsafe roads for buses and too many live wires down, said Superintendent Judy Palmer.
In addition to Litchfield, Winchester, Region 7 and Region 10, Region 6 Superintendent Edward Drapp has also made the decision to close one extra day. While towns and repair crews are working hard to allow schools to reopen as quickly as possible, Hurricane Sandy may have taken pity to students who need that extra day to finish their homework.

Continuous Integration UI in NetBeans IDE
Use Case: The user wants to setup continuous build for the application she develops in NetBeans IDE.
Scenario: The user invokes a "New Continuous Build..." menu item which brings up a "New Continuous Build" dialog box where the user specifies necessary details for creating a Kenai hosted continuous build for a particular NetBeans project. Upon finishing the dialog box a build item is added into the Kenai window and testing build is started.
Use Case: The user has commited changes into the source code repository and wants to be notified in case the continuous build or tests fail.
Scenario: A notification bubble pops up from the status line in case the user is a potential breaker of the build. The user clicks the "details" link in the popup which opens up an Output tab showing the build results and source code changes included in the build. From there, the user can click the file links or "diff" links to get to the source code.
Use Case: The user wants to be informed about broken repository in general so that she can defer her own commit (testing build).
Scenario: A broken build notification icon shows up in the status line without popping up the bubble if the user hasn't committed anything to the build.
Use Case: The user may want to check the source code changes for any continuous build, even if the build/test system doesn't indicate any problems with the build.
Scenario: In the Kenai window, the user clicks the link next to the build she is interested in. It opens the Output window tab with build results and list of source code changes.

Looks like yesterday's funny train just kept on steamrolling on into today. A lot of good jokes today; let's see who made the favorites.
Favorites and Duds from Today's Commenting
Favorites, in no particular order:
If you had the patience to sift through those prattling on about Erin Andrews having no place in sports journalism, there were a number of good efforts in the Kirk Minihane Non-Apology. John, Maddened wrote a criminally under-appreciated dialogue that, granted, requires a bit of lifting in the setup, but when you read through, it's actually quite simple in execution. I especially enjoy the imagined demotion of Andrews from NFL journo to Perkins waitress to homeless shelter to Dennis and Callahan. Smart stuff.
It's all too easy for running gags to become hackneyed and overused, but somehow Same Sad Echo keeps finding ways to inject life into his stupid Gary's-Sleeping-With-My-Wife saga. I think the success of the Gary gimmick rides on two parallel currents: 1) its rather sporadic appearance in the comments section makes you almost forget about it; 2) when Echo does drop Gary into a comment, it always comes out of left field, and the sudden uptick into pure outrage at being cuckolded yet again is so completely unexpected. Today's Gary installment earns a favorite because of the vaguely tangential connection to the Minihane non-apology, which acts merely as a springboard for this idiot in Deadspin's comment section to bitch about his neighbor saying he has a tiny penis. Lord. Did I just write 128 words about Echo's neighbor Gary? Yes. Yes I did. God help me.
Our third favorite in the Erin Andrews post comes courtesy of IronMikeGallego, who went with a very smart Under-Explained List. Like Maddened's comment up there, IMG brings the progression full-circle, so that the absolute worst place for Erin to land work is as a radio jockey spouting moronic shit-drivel. (I'm working to trademark "shit-drivel" as my own buzzword for a new gig as a shockjock radio hack, so back off, losers.)
RMJ=H demonstrated his techie chops with this pithy continuation joke in the Litigious Donald Sterling post. Between that one and a Clippy photoshop from way back when, you've really got some anger issues with Microsoft, don't you, RMJ?
In the Durant-Bieber picture, Pleatherface tore off a funny misapprehension dialogue for a solid knock on that Canadian asshole.
Much fun over in the Audubon Society story, probably because the "Death Trap" word choice in the headline doused many of you in creative energy. Madoffs Mets earns top billing and Comment of the Day honors for this dark swoop, which I agree benefited from a slight edit on the punchline. As we all know, the two-participant conversation is one of Madoff's favorite maneuvers, and this vignette really only needs "Magic" as a listed character to carry the "Fuck you Larry!" kicker over the top. Well done, Madoff.
Also in the Audubon Society thing, pkellen2313 dropped another anvil on Christian Ponder's woeful accuracy. I like this quotation joke because it stays so close to the sentence pkellen cited until unraveling into "intercepted and returned for a touchdown."
Revis & Butthead finally nets a Roundup debut with a very pkellen-esque one-liner in the Dwyane Wade Camp post. A number of people chopped away at the Wade-plays-no-defense tree, but in my opinion all that's really needed there are five simple words hinging on the double sense of "defense." Why over-season the cut when you can sear it in mere seconds?
In addition to a horror-comic type of delivery, girlwonder can also write self-deprecatory jokes, like this tidy correction bit in the Jeff Francoeur story. My sources have told me that she's a Padres fan, and so I imagine gw publishing that one with an audible sigh and slug of Woodford Reserve. Get well soon.
Duds are cancelled. I spent all my energy and anger last night. You know where to find duds, if you're into that sort of thing. Holler at me down below, and enjoy your Humpday evening, hucksters.

I'm very excited for today's ALA Youth Media Awards. Which books will earn the top awards? Soon we will all find out! For those that can't attend, make sure to tune into the live webcast starting at 7:45 A.M CT.
Before the announcements start, the kids and I would like to mention our favorites for the Caldecott. I personally think that Grandpa Green by Lane Smith is the most deserving of an award this year. As I wrote in my review, his book gracefully tackles the subject of aging and intergenerational relationships. With unusually lush, green illustrations, it's simply a beautiful book.
Of all the 2011 picture books, my daughter likes Me . . . Jane by Patrick McDonnell the best. While we didn't review it, we did purchase the book last year after checking it out from the library twice. Usually that's a good sign it's a book we should own. Me...Jane tells the story of Jane Goodall's childhood and the illustrations have a scrapbook feel.
My son really likes Where's Walrus? by Stephen Savage. It's a wordless picture book about a silly walrus and the book has an uncluttered, bold design. Searching for the walrus in the pictures is part of the fun.

Wow! You did good! Two out of three of yours got honors! I think Where's Walrus should have been in there too. Overall I was really pleased with the results this year. How about you? (Of course, I hadn't read any of the Newberry awards... I guess I'll wait until my kids get older for those!)

Today the ladies of RHONJ were on Regis and Kelly, minus Danielle, because the cast wasn't comfortable with the idea. Fill-in host Jerry O'Connell tried his hardest to get to the bottom of what Danielle tried to do to Dina.
The ladies wouldn't open up to Jerry about, which is odd, since Jacqueline has already come clean about the incident to Life & Style, as we learned in Midweek Madness:
Danielle was trying to harm Dina by giving her ex-husband a phone number that might give him leverage in the custody of their daughter Lexi.

No more Mr. Nice Governor.
On Sunday's midseason premiere of The Walking Dead (9/8c, AMC), the Governor (David Morrissey) will begin to more closely resemble the arch villain from the graphic novels that inspired the series. And why wouldn't he? After all, the Governor's town has been attacked and Michonne (Danai Gurira) has both killed his zombie daughter and taken out his eye with a shard of glass.
Check out The Governor and other awesome characters who wear eye patches"He's in quite a dark place," Morrissey tells TVGuide.com in the video below. "The one thing that he really loves is his daughter and I think that's what gave him his humanity — the semblance of humanity that he had. He had something to live for, some hope. Michonne has taken that away from him. ... He's hurting and the question is how long will that hurt survive? How far will he go on that hurt?"Now, Morrissey says, the Governor is purely out for blood and revenge. The one person who might be able to talk him off the ledge is Andrea ( Laurie Holden), who began a relationship with the Governor before seeing what he's truly capable of. But will that relationship survive? "Once Michonne destroys his world.... there's no room for [Andrea] to get inside his conscience," Morrissey says. "That's a dangerous place to be. I think what [Andrea] would be hoping for... is that the Governor re-finds his humanity and this caring side that she feels he's had. If [his humanity] comes back... and he decides that his search for revenge is a bad thing, it will come back via her."
Walking Dead's Glen Mazzara previews upcoming war; discusses his exitAnd given that Andrea knows how Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and her former band of survivors function, might the Governor use her in the upcoming war between the two factions. Watch the video below to get Morrissey's answer on that and more!The Walking Dead returns from its hiatus Sunday at 9/8c on AMC.

A Hose Is A Hose
Claim #0705698: When a 32-foot sailboat sank at a New York dock last summer, the investigating surveyor noted that the hose connected to the engine-cooling water intake was cheap radiator hose from an auto parts store. The flimsy hose had softened and split where it connected to the through-hull. Further inspection revealed that radiator hose was used nearly everywhere: cockpit drain lines, fresh water lines, bilge pump, and even the diesel fuel fill.
There is no such thing as an all-purpose hose on a boat; no single hose type can withstand engine exhaust, bring fresh water to the galley, safely transport gasoline to the carburetor, drain the cockpit, and flush the head. Using the wrong hose can cause problems that range from an inconvenient mess, to a burning boat.
Fuel Hose
Special Needs: Chemical resistance and low permeability. Gasoline-powered boats have specific requirements for hose that are so demanding they're federal law. Hoses that carry gasoline must be USCG approved and are marked with J 1527 A1, A2, B1, and B2, as well as with the manufacturing date. Gasoline hoses are usually made of rubber compounds. A-type hose is thicker than B-type and has to pass a 2.5-minute burn test (which is designed to give you enough time to get off the boat in the event of a fire), while type 1 hose is far less permeable than type 2. In the end, it makes senses to just use the best — A1 — for all gasoline uses. A new hose, called A1-15 is even less permeable and will become more and more common due to EPA regulations. Manufactures say that gasoline hose has a useful life of about 10 to 20 years. This kind of hose deserves the best hose clamps and ABYC standards require that gasoline fuel fill hoses be double-clamped. While there are no federal regulations for diesel-powered boats, A1 hose is also the best to use; the extra thickness guards against chafe and since it is less permeable, it is less likely to smell like diesel.
Bilge Hose
Special Needs: Low restriction. Bilge pump hose needs to be extremely flexible, strong enough to resist attack from chemicals, and it needs smooth internal surfaces to allow water to flow freely. Corrugated hose, seen in many installations, saps as much as 30 percent of the bilge pump's capacity because it creates extra friction. Bilge hoses are usually vinyl to maximize flexibility. Bilge pumps won't work well (or at all) if the hose has rises or loops where water can get trapped; the pump may not be able to overcome the resistance. (See "Stacy's Bilge Pump," April 2006).
Potable Water Hose
Special Needs: Chemically inert. Hoses that carry drinking water have to be made of FDA approved nontoxic materials (stamped on the hose) so that chemicals from the hose don't leach into the water; the chemicals also make the water taste bad. PVC hose is usually used for this purpose and systems that have pumps to deliver water under pressure or have hot water should use a reinforced type. While many potable water hoses are clear, opaque hose has the advantage of preventing slime from forming. Even clear hose that is hidden behind lockers will eventually get growth inside. Once slime gets started, it can be killed by allowing a bleach solution (three-quarters of a cup per 10 gallons) to remain inside for a few minutes, but getting the residue out is nearly impossible without removing the hose and running a rag through it.
Holding Tank Hose
Special Needs: Low permeability. While a leaking seawater hose might do the most potential damage, few people would argue that a burst holding tank hose is the most dreaded. Holding tank (sanitation) hose, aside from being strong, also has to have the least permeability possible — a delicate nose can detect the wrong hose. In fact, the best way to locate the source of a holding tank odor (more often than not, it's the hose) is to run a clean cloth over the hose and take a sniff. If it smells icky, the hose is permeating and needs to be replaced. The best sanitation hoses are thick-walled and smooth inside. Reinforced PVC is a good choice, but it should be made specifically for sanitation use. Hoses should be run so that there is no standing water in sags or loops to prevent premature aging and permeation. Eventually this kind of hose will get clogged with scale from seawater. With luck, the hose can be removed and banged around enough to loosen the scale, but by then, it probably makes sense just to replace it.
Through-Hull Hose
Special Needs: Strength. Through-hull hoses are really just an extension of a hole in your boat, connected to an above- or below-waterline fitting. As such, they must be exceptionally strong and long lasting. Hoses that are used at water intakes need to be rigid enough to withstand suction from engine raw-water pumps. Throughhull hoses are typically rubber, which has been reinforced with metal or plastic spirals. Don't make the mistake of thinking that automotive radiator hose is strong enough just because some of it's reinforced too — it's thinner and chances are the metal reinforcement will rust from seawater and further weaken the hose. Proper hoses are stiff and it's important they are not be bent too far, otherwise a weak spot will be created. This is one type of hose that deserves to be double-clamped, if there is room on the fitting. The lifespan of these hoses varies with their job, but hoses that are over 10 years old should be considered suspect.
Exhaust Hose
Special Needs: Temperature resistance. Exhaust hose is one of the most critical hoses on board. A leaking hose will not only flood the boat with cooling water, but it will also release deadly carbon monoxide, which is why the ABYC standards call for double-clamping of all exhaust hose connections. Most exhaust hose is rubber and designed to withstand temperatures to 250ºF. Some special silicon rubber exhaust hose can withstand up to 500ºF. If your engine's cooling water system fails, the exhaust hose is often first to suffer since it takes the full brunt of hot exhaust gases; the higher its temperature rating, the longer it will hold together. If you experience serious overheating, your hoses may look fine, but are likely to be damaged on the inside and should be replaced immediately. Even if the engine has never overheated, check regularly for bulges, cracks, and soft spots. Long runs of exhaust hose need to be well-supported, since they may be full of water and heavy.
LPG and CNG Hose
Special Needs: Flexibility and low permeation. Leaks in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) system (also called propane) can be catastrophic, which is why propane hoses must have permanent connections and cannot be hose-clamped to a barb like most other hoses. LPG hose is thermoplastic and sold in specific lengths with fittings already attached. Chafe is the enemy of this kind of hose, which should be protected wherever it passes through a bulkhead. LPG hose must be marked UL 21. CNG (compressed natural gas) is different from LPG and requires a different hose, which must meet the requirement of NFPA 52 for automotive hose.
1. Hoses are sized by their inside diameter (ID) and hose fittings are labeled based on the ID of the hoses.
2. Hose should be well-supported and not allowed to sag.
3. One of the best ways to inspect hoses is to squeeze them. If they feel mushy, crumbly, or excessively hard, they are beyond their useful life. Also, look at the ends — if they're splitting or swollen, the rest of the hose is in just as bad shape even if you can't see it. Hose that has standing liquid in it, whether effluent, gas, or water, won't last as long, which is why it's important to make hose runs that won't trap liquid.
4. Use the best marine grade 316 stainlesssteel hose clamps. Replace any that are even slightly rusted and double-clamp critical hoses. Clamps that are embossed rather that perforated are much stronger and longer-lasting.
5. Stiff hoses can be easier to install if the end is dipped in boiling water; this allows the end to stretch easier. When shopping for hose, if it is not marked properly (A1, etc.), it doesn't meet the standards, no matter what the salesperson says.

This is my second entry. A more abstract and simplified version. Thanks
show time
very excellent logo
Hi, I've uploaded the revised version at entry #80 .
I like the contrast in face size of the man's and woman's. I like that they are asymmetrical, not identical, and not a reflection.
Sure, right away.
I like how you filled the gap between the man's chin and woman's nose with a beard. So useful and very well utilized. However, I am not a fan of the negative space under the woman's chin. Would you experiment with that please or just close it up or minimize it. Thanks
Thank you four the insight. i will get back to you right away.
Try using the same mustache for the woman's lips. Change color and reflect (upside-down). Try slightly bigger eyes for both without eyelash for woman. This is also a characteristic of Arabian eyes. Try again a closed eye for the womanonly, this time with eyelash. I like the idea of the blush for the woman but not so much the execution (the blur). It is not in harmony with the whole style. I like the shadow of the ear and chin.
I believe closed eyes will successfully communicate a forehead kiss and support the current position of the man over the woman. Check entry #47 for reference.
I love the color scheme.
I'm very happy.
Try to experiment with the gold headpiece for the woman. It would add more cultural context. Try to unify all gold stroke thickness including the black headpiece for the man (one thickness). Thank you.
Entries #47 #36
I like the digital pattern design. Works very well with e- as in digital or electronic.
I can see a heart (right one). I like it.
I love it.
This is so far my very best! Thank you.
