New Directions Community Outreach, Inc New Directions Community Outreach, Inc
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
To prevent and reduce the growing rate of homelessness in Central Florida by equipping individuals and families with the proper tools to become self-sufficient through housing, outreach, awareness and educational programs.
New Directions Community Outreach, Inc. (NDCO) is a non-profit association founded in 2004 by Debra Thomas as a feeding program for the homeless. Since the naissance, NDCO has pledged to do everything possible to help those who are disadvantaged and in need. In the pursuit to change lives, we have found that our biggest war is against homelessness and hunger. We attempt to combat the affects of these degradations to improve the lives of the underprivileged populace and make our neighborhood a better place.
Not only does our organization provide services and programs for food and financial assistance, but NDCO works hard to produce events that enrich the lives of the indigent, beyond simply the bare necessities. With events such as our 2nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Celebrations we are able to give children the opportunity to experience the joy of the holiday. We also hold home buyer's seminars, like our "Get on the Bus into a New Home", aimed at helping people obtain permanent residence for the first time.
NDCO works hard to equip individuals and families with the proper resources and tools for survival and a chance at a better life, such as educational programs and financial assistance. We also endeavor to develop community services to raise awareness, offer outreach programs and aid in the prevention of homelessness. It is our ultimate goal to help the impoverished peoples of our society become self-sufficient, made manifest on the smiling faces of those who benefit from our cause.

Unfortunately the current CORBA programming methodology conflicts with the message passing methodology smalltalk, ObjC, TOM uses. What's unfortunate about it is it's possible to have backward compatibility in terms of allowing CORBA-stile objects to be used in a TOM-stile runtime but not vice versa. You would probably be interested in the OREO list archives where a bunch of people with no time on their hands dream of a universal runtime which can run various objects written in various languages like Tom, ObjC, Smalltalk, C++, Java, etc.

When you're somewhere new there are so many things to figure out. Even in English it can be challenging to know the norms and customs of a place—which is the best grocery store, where's the post office, where do you find a bike rack for the car? Now put all this in French and it becomes even more challenging and, to me, more exciting and fun. Well, on a good day.
So, you create this filter to get through all the newness, just to manage the essentials and maybe have a bit of personal connection there too. The grocery store has been fairly straight forward. I know the context of the checkout situation. You smile, say hello, and frantically pack your groceries to avoid impatient tuts from those in line behind you. Same in Ireland. Then, you hear the total spent, here it's said at rapid speed but I'm trying to figure it out without looking, you pass over your cash or laser card, smile again and say goodbye. This is easy enough. Last week I even got the courage to ask for a carte de fidélité. It was so gratifying to be understood and to communicate. I am now a proud and loyal card carrying Carrefour customer.
La Poste had me totally intimidated. I don't know why except maybe for the memory of being on honeymoon and being cut in line a few times and then not being able to figure out how to get a stamp for my postcard. Post offices in general kind of freak me out…..make of this what you will.
Anyway, I had to mail some things and kept putting it off. The word for stamp, le timbre, kept eluding me. It doesn't have a similar root or sound to it like some other words. For example, ascenseur is elevator and that makes sense; you ascend, elevate, are lifted. So working up my nerve and having Sofia help me repeat, "Je voudrais un timbre, s'il vous plait', we headed in, Leo bumping up the stairs in the buggy and the two big kids under threat of something awful if they embarrassed me.
It turned out to be easier than I'd thought. There was a line with people sizing each other up, wondering who was the weakest and therefore most easily queue jumped. But there was also a very nice machine where you can weigh and appropriately stamp your post. I was staring at it, trying to decipher which region I needed when Sofia suggested, 'Mommy why don't you choose English?' Oh, how easy! It's usually this way with me. I worry over something, make it HUGE, nearly insurmountable and then poof! piece of cake.
We still have to buy the bike rack but I've navigated www.google.fr and found one at a shop called Feu Vert. Who can guess the English translation? It's a clever name for an auto/bike and sundry shop.
I am reminded daily why I went along with this particular adventure. Vive la différence!

Become an LPN
Being a licensed practical nurse can open a number of exciting career opportunities for anyone interested in the medical field. In less than two years, you could have all the training you need to become an LPN and start working in the best hospitals in the country. You need a formal education to find employment like this, but that is not hard to come by. You simply have to take advantage of the opportunities that lie before you. Here is a guide showing how to become an LPN so you can get to work in the near future.
[schoolbutton subject="LPN"]
Research the Career
Before you jump into this process, you need to make sure you have what it takes to become an LPN. It takes a special kind of person to succeed in this career, so think things over before making a commitment. A good LPN will be…
- Hard working
- Thoughtful
- Considerate
- Nurturing
- Organized
- Mature
- Helpful
- Efficient
- Communicative
- …and more!
If you are not the type of person that can handle pressure and extensive job duties well, this may not be the career path for you. Not only do you have to be able to care for multiple patients at the same time, but you have to handle difficult situations, like comforting someone after the loss of a loved one. If you cannot maintain your professionalism and composure under these circumstances, this may not be the right job for you. If you can though, keep on reading.
Get an Education
Once you can fully commit yourself to being an LPN, you will need to get an education. You can either do this online or at a local career school, depending on what you want to do. Many students are now moving their studies to the internet because that allows them to maintain a job and go to school at the same time. Plus, this may be the only option in your area, if there are no LPN programs nearby.
No matter where you choose to go to school, you will need to get one of these degrees:
- Diploma in Nursing (DN)
- Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN)
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
- Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)
A diploma or associate's degree will be sufficient for working as an LPN, but you could continue your education if you wanted to do something more. BSN degrees are designed mainly for registered nurses, and MSN degrees are designed for nurse practitioners. If you want to progress through your profession, these programs will be necessities.
Most students take 18 to 24 months to complete their basic training courses for practical nursing. Those who want to pursue a BSN will spend four years in school, and those who want an MSN will spend six years or more. Nevertheless, you can find a job as an LPN within the first two years of school, as long as you complete the additional steps in this guide.
Obtain a License
It would be hard to work as a "licensed" practical nurse without a license, right? That means that you have to take an exam to verify that you know what you're doing. Different states have different kinds of exams for you to take, so you will have to research what is required in your area. You may actually be able to obtain your certification directly through the school you attend, depending on how your degree program is set up. As long as you pay attention in your classes, you should be able to get all the authorization you need to find a job.
Find a Job
With your license in place, all you have to do is start looking for a place that will hire you. Some parts of the country have a higher demand for nurses than others, but the job growth for this position is high overall. You could find work in any of the following locations, with no more than two years of education behind you:
- Hospitals
- Clinics
- Nursing homes
- Doctor offices
- Emergency rooms
You can essentially work anywhere there are registered nurses or medical assistants present. If you want to continue going through school while working, you may want to switch to an online degree (assuming you do not have one already). That way, you can take your classes whenever your schedule allows.
The average LPN salary varies by employer and by location, but most people make more than $20,000 a year from the start. If you choose to earn a BSN or higher, you may be able to make significantly more than that. Here is a chart that highlights the average LPN salary based on experience so you can see how your income may change:
- 1-4 years: $23,673 – $48,483
- 5-9 years: $24,691 – $51,947
- 10-19 years: $26,717 – $59,138
- 20+ years: $26,711 – $56,084
Follow the steps above, and you'll be a licensed practical nurse in no time. Then all you have to do is figure out if you want to do even more in the future.

The Vue movie theater chain in the UK and the Cinema Exhibitors' Association trade group in that same territory have announced a ban of the use of Google Glass inside their establishments.
The announcement comes just a few days after Google announced that its Glass eyewear product would go on sale in the UK. Today, a spokesperson for the Vue company said that its patrons who wear the device will be asked to remove them "as soon as the lights dim" inside their theaters before a movie begins.
Phil Clapp, the chief executive of the Cinema Exhibitors' Association, indicated they will have an even harsher policy, stating, "Customers will be requested not to wear these into cinema auditoriums, whether the film is playing or not." A Google spokesperson has issued a response to this decision, stating:
We recommend any cinemas concerned about Glass to treat the device as they treat similar devices like mobile phones: simply ask wearers to turn it off before the film starts. Broadly speaking, we also think it's best to have direct and first-hand experience with Glass before creating policies around it. The fact that Glass is worn above the eyes and the screen lights up whenever it's activated makes it a fairly lousy device for recording things secretly.
What do you think of these UK movie theaters making an early move to ban Google Glass?

Feel Whale Soon
This is for my sister, she had surgery yesterday for malignant melanoma skin cancer on her back.
So I made this card for her. She's made from the create a critter. Whale base, duplicated, flipped horizontally, welded and cut from white cardstock.
The bottom layer is cut from a blue and white cloud paper from K&Co. And then the blue is cut, inked and layered over the pattern paper.
I "stitched" around her with the white gel pen, Stickled around the belly and the water and stuck on the Googlie eyes. My 6 year old son thought it needed a bow and picked the ribbon. Once the bow was put on he asked if he could add the rhinestone, and of course I said yes. Boy he's got a great eye for design.
The inside is printed from my computer in blue ink on white cardstock and it say's "Feel Whale Soon!"

A Few New Things
I thought it would be nice to show a few new things that I've listed in my shop recently since I'm swamped with uni work and all I do is imagine all the pretty things I want to be making!
These brooches are a step even further into my obsession with those Sweetheart/Love heart sweets. I love everything about them but their taste so I guess it doesn't matter that these brooches aren't edible.
Who else is excited for Anchorman 2?! By the trailer it looks as if Brick might have a bigger role and I freaking hope so because Steve Carrell is pure perfection (I'm addicted to this video of the Best Of Michael and Toby). Anyway, this 'I'm Kind Of A Big Deal' necklace showcased one of Ron Burgandy's greatest lines.
I'm a sucker for Venus symbols so I just had to make this pink/purple/glitter necklace. Long Live Feminism.
On a completely unrelated note, look how weird my cat is.
Have a lovely weekend!

A good shot can also eliminate any space marine Rhino chassis tanks on the rear armour, like the Baal Predator OSH took out in our last game.
I'll never again underestimate the little flying toasters.

Drones are the unsung heroes of the Empire!
I love doing the turn 5 objective contest, even though people seem to think it's cheesy. Oh well, we're already at a disadvantage playing Tau, we have to use all the tricks we can.
Thanks for the tip on the S3 versus S4 hits for the pirahna drones. I've been doing that one wrong.
- August 10, 2010 at 3:45 PM
You cant disembark the drones the same turn as you fly flat out.
- August 11, 2010 at 3:26 AM
- Old Shatter Hands said...
@Anon, in one way yes, the other no. You can disembark your drones if it is done BEFORE the vehicle moves flat out. Not afterwards. So you can't fly out 24 inches and drop your drones, but you can drop your drones, then fly 24 inches to block a lane of approach.
- August 11, 2010 at 8:32 AM
- tim said...
the drones that disembark from the vehicle don't count as kill points. it is on the page with the vehicle upgrades (i don't have the book on hand). i think it also says that in the tau faq.
- August 11, 2010 at 9:14 AM
- Old Shatter Hands said...
@Tim,Are you sure? There's nothing in the Tau FAQ about that and the Codex doesn't have any mention of Kill Points because they weren't invited at the time of printing.
- August 11, 2010 at 9:25 AM
- Old Shatter Hands said...
I mean "they weren't invented at the time of printing."
- August 11, 2010 at 9:26 AM
- tim said...
sorry, i was thinking of victory points. anyway, can you show me your tau list, i want to compare my list to yours.
- August 11, 2010 at 9:48 AM
very good article, I had actually been searching the web for such an article, and thought id check your page that I had book marked some months back. Very well written and I look forward to the report of you sending Jawaballs back to Baal with his tale between his legs.
- August 11, 2010 at 11:01 AM
- Old Shatter Hands said...
@Tim, My list is classified information right now but if you email me I can send it to you. Check my profile and you'll be able to find my email address.
- August 11, 2010 at 11:37 AM
- Xyhelm said...
Very great article, OSH! I've always wondered about taking a squadron of piranhas or taking them solo. You've got an excellent strategy there, but for the most part, I think that decision is up to how many Fast Attack choices you have to spare. After all, Pathfinders are a must!
Everything you mentioned are things that I attempt to do--with sometimes horrible results. But I never thought about running disembarked drones! That's awesome! I also didn't know that about how you can disembark before moving flat out. :)
Good advice on having drones run away on Kill Point missions. A 24-point kill point? Really?!
- August 11, 2010 at 1:10 PM
- Firewasp said...
I love using drones to block peoples Movement, nothing more irritating to your opponent the blocking his expensive assault troops with a few points of gun drones.
- August 11, 2010 at 2:12 PM
- sonsoftaurus said...
Good article, people often forget about the little things that can make a big difference.
I don't think Drones as KP is that big a deal since it's countered by them being able to contest in the other 2/3 of standard missions. That said, I wouldn't mind a FAQ/new book that made drones not bought as a squadron not able to contest and not count as KP.

So last weekend my husband Wayne and I decided to take a trip up to San Francisco. Best unplanned trip ever! We love going up north and this time around we were able to feast upon the goodness that is Mary Blair at the Cartoon Art Museum.
Perhaps these photos will get you chuffed enough to see the exhibit. I know not everyone can make it, but for those who can (and those who love the art of Mary Blair) I highly recommend it!

Will the Droid Bionic Make $299 Smartphones the Norm?
Following months of teasing and speculation, Motorola's Droid Bionic is now officially here. Being the first dual-core phone to run on Verizon's LTE network, the Bionic is, for now, uniquely powerful among current smartphones. It's also in the very small club of phones with a big price tag: $299, and that's with a contract. The Bionic isn't the first phone to carry that price, which makes it even more scary: Is $300 the new normal for high-end smartphones?
For the past few years, it's been a commonly held belief in the wireless industry that high-end smartphones needed to be priced at $199 for the U.S. market. Higher than that and you priced yourself out of the mainstream. Apple and AT&T, who initially sold the iPhone for $500 (yes, subsidized) back in 2007, soon realized this and aggressively lowered the price so that by 2008 it was selling at that magic price point. Not surprisingly, the market share of both soared.
Among the major carriers, the only smartphones from the major carriers that carry the $299 price tag are the Verizon Droid Bionic, Droid Charge, and iPhone 4 (32GB), and the T-Mobile BlackBerry Bold 9900 (AT&T and Sprint have no smartphones at that level, though Sprint does sell a ruggedized world phone, the Motorola ES400S, for $549). A year ago, there were none—virtually all high-end phones were $199.
Clearly, Verizon thinks it can pump up the price of the Bionic and still sell a lot of phones. It could be justified: The intervening year has been a pretty eventful one for cell phone technology. The biggest change has probably been the emergence of Verizon's LTE network, by far the fastest of the so-called 4G networks (PCMag's own tests prove it). LTE is a generational upgrade, the likes of which we haven't seen since 3G came on the scene in 2002, making the phones with the technology much faster than previous models. By the same token, phones with dual-core chips also arrived in the last year. If phones with such significant upgrades were priced at the same level as 3G, single-core phones, the continued existence of the older models would be short indeed.
"I think [the $299 price] is more exceptional than a new rule," says Charles Golvin, a mobile analyst with Forrester Research. "I think both Verizon and Motorola believe the product is highly differentiated. It's really Verizon's 'hero' LTE device. It's more them testing the waters to see how much tolerance there is for paying a bit more of a premium to get that leading-edge device. I think if the demand proves very, very high, and they're selling in gobs and gobs, they we could see a new normal, but my guess is that won't prove to be the case. I'm not saying there won't be demand for the product, but I don't think there will be sufficient demand that a large number of high-end consumers are willing to pay 50 percent more."
Golvin touches on an important point: that the rapidly changing landscape of wireless have led to a partition in the market itself. There's no longer just a "smartphone market"—it's divided into two distinct camps. First there's the mass smartphone market, which encompasses value-conscious people getting their first smartphone and has been responsible for the big growth the market has seen. Then there's the early adopters, the people who want the latest and greatest. The Bionic's heavy price tag is essentially an experiment, a test by Verizon to see how big and enthusiastic it really is.
If the high-end market truly has enlarged to the point where a lot of people are willing to pony up the dough for a $300 Droid Bionic, then the future starts to look pricier for early adopters. Even if the price is exclusive to "hero" smartphones, the iPhone 5, LTE or no LTE, would probably qualify, especially since both U.S. carriers will have the low-end option of the iPhone 4 this time around. Regardless, Golvin doesn't see Apple, or its carrier partners, going for a $300 price tag.
"Even though [Verizon] promotes the iPhone, and it's been a good driver of subscriptions for them, they're more invested in the Android ecosystem," says Golvin. "And they're more likely to put an Android device in that hero slot. I don't expect to see a change in iPhone pricing."
So $300 is likely to remain a price point only for flagship devices with LTE connectivity. That's a relief for the market as a whole, but LTE will slowly become the new standard. Next year phones with single-chip LTE solutions, which should provide even better battery life, will come, possibly keeping that $299 price going or worse, ticking prices up even more. However, there could be a white knight to ward off the possible coming army of $300 phones: the entry of AT&T into the LTE market. Once
That is, unless people go bananas for the Bionic, and gobble them up like hotcakes. Then high-end smartphone customers are probably in for $299 prices for years to come. And that's on top of the more expensive data plans you'll want to get to actually use the high-speed connection. LTE and dual-core devices are will define the future of wireless, but who ends up paying the bill for them could shake up the industry even more.

When I have a distinct opinion about a product then I will do my part and write a review. I have a tendency to write detailed and constructive reviews. I figure what's the point of writing one if your not going to be honest about product and provide some feedback that other people can use.
Over time my reviews have been noticed and recently I have been contacted by several companies and authors to review their products. Instead of a cash payment system, I am given the item for free, or for a very deep discount. This helps out newer companies because reviews can help their search ratings on the Amazon website, and often they re-publish, with permission, the reviews on the company website. In return I get free or deeply discounted products and books. It's a win - win.
I recently reviewed a lotion. I posted my review. A few days later an "anonymous customer's" posted a nearly identical review. They changed the title and the disclaimer, but the actual review was a literal cut and paste. To read the reviews click here for mine, and here for the plagiarized one.
A quick review of the "anonymous customer's" other reviews shows several reviews which have been removed, probably because they were discovered to be fake or also plagiarized from real reviews.
If you are going to go through the effort of reading all of the other reviews and then cut and pasting one so that it appears that you wrote you, then why not just write a review yourself? It's not that hard - unless you haven't purchased the product. And if you haven't purchased or used the product, then why are you writing a review?
In a world where people are looking for easy money, writing fake reviews has to be one of the dumbest things that I have seen.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie is 5 feet, 11 inches tall. The Republican governor, born on Sept. 6, 1962, has garnered much national attention for his ability to work with legislators of both parties, causing his name to be mentioned for national office.
One major concern over Christie and a possible presidential run is the weight he carries on his just-under 6-feet frame. When he first came on the national scene, he appeared extremely overweight, and questions about his weight and potential health issues began to abound. Christie underwent a lap band procedure to help with weight loss in 2013, with some noticeable results. As of 2014, Governor Christie refuses to discuss actual numbers regarding his weight loss or how much more he hopes to lose.

Financial Incentive Can Up Fruit, Vegetable Purchases
(HealthDay News) — An intervention to increase fruit and vegetable purchases at farmers' markets for recipients of food assistance (Shop N Save [SNS]) correlates with a significant increase in use of food assistance at the farmers' market, according to a study published online May 22 in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Preventing Chronic Disease.
Darcy A. Freedman, PhD, MPH, from the Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods in Cleveland, and colleagues examined the influence of SNS on revenue trends at a farmers' market located at a federally qualified health center in rural South Carolina. As part of the intervention, SNS provided a $5 monetary incentive per week to customers spending $5 or more in food assistance at the farmers' market. SNS was available to all customers using vouchers from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); and/or the Senior or WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP). Revenue trends were compared for 20 weeks before and after the intervention.
The researchers found that most of the 336 SNS participants were patients at the health center, female, and African-American. After the intervention, the use of all forms of food assistance (SNAP, WIC, and FMNP) increased significantly at the farmers' market, from 10% before to 25% after (P=0.003). The greatest increases were seen for use of senior FMNP vouchers and SNAP.
"Interventions that provide incentives to recipients of food assistance programs at farmers' markets are a viable strategy for increasing food assistance usage and revenue," the authors write.

It's quiet in the garden at the moment. There are only a few flowers...
|A very pretty salvia that seems to flower all the time
We have been busy cutting wood. Never too young to learn how to wield a splitter....
We had to hurry before the rain came...
I made a really good crunchy chopped green salad the other day. There is so much lettuce and celery in the garden I feel obliged to use it. The salad veg seems to be happy in the winter even though it isn't a salady time. More lettuce/celery concoctions will follow. I shredded lettuce, any sort, celery, fennel, and any other green things I could find in the fridge, a bit of cucumber, some finely sliced broccoli and half an avocado from memory. Make a dressing: (this is based on one from smitten kitchen)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tblsp good mayonnaise
1 tblsp apple cider vinegar
1tblsp verjuice
1 teasp sugar
1 tblsp chopped chives
salt and pepper
Add or subtract any ingredients to taste. Toss in a bowl with the dressing and finish with some toasted flaked almonds.
The other thing I've been experimenting with is farro. The one I use is from Mount Zero, which is near the Grampians, not far from us. Farro is a grain that is similar to brown rice but with more nuttiness and a bit less stodge. It can be used in the same fashion as rice, lentils or couscous, in salads, soups and risottos. I went for a warm vegetable salad. First toast the farro in a pan over a medium heat, which was the recommendation on the back of the packet. Be careful not to burn it.
Put it in a saucepan, cover with water and simmer for 20 minutes or until it is soft. Choose any vegetables you like, I had a haul from the garden...
Chop them, drizzle with olive oil, season and roast for 20 minutes in a hot oven (about 200), more if you like them a bit crispy.
Mix the vegetables and farro in a big bowl and dress with olive oil, lemon juice, a good dash of vinocotto and salt and pepper.
These salads are great on their own, but would also go well with these tasty little lamb ribs...
These were blanched in boiling water then marinated in:
1 tbslp olive oil
1 tblsp dijon mustard
1 teasp malt vinegar
2 tblsp tomato sauce (homemade)
1 teasp maple syrup
1 tblsp dried oregano
Leave them for a few hours and either barbeque or roast in a hot oven until nicely browned.

Trying to improve the performance of my netbook led me to try out the Windows ReadyBoost feature. ReadyBoost is a feature that utilizes a memory stick or a memory card as a fast cache, in addition to using the slow hard disk. This works because flash memory is usually faster than a hard drive, at least in random reads/writes. So, I used my USB memory for a while and, while I did not commit any actual measurings, I felt the computer was indeed more responsive, especially when multiple programs were running simultaneously.
Because a memory stick sticking out from the side of the netbook is not a very nice feature I went ahead and bought a fast SDHC card (Class 6, 8 GB, ~14 €) to be permanently stuck into the memory card slot (which, by the way, in Asus EeePC 1101HA's case only supports SD, SDHC and MMC cards and not, for example, MemoryStick cards..). Then I formatted the card into the new exFAT file system and gave it to Windows to be used as a ReadyBoost disk.
You may think that this is a waste of money and time but as far as I can see it is never a bad idea to buy SD cards. Firstly, many, if not most, digital cameras support those. Secondly, 8 GB is quite a lot of space, so the card could well be used for copying files from one computer to another. Thirdly, you could just use it like any other drive in your computer and, for example, install another operating system (namely Linux or Chrome) to it. Running an OS from a flash disk should save the battery because flash disks only consume a fraction of power compared to the regular, spinning disks. So who knows, I might do that some day. And if I do, I will be posting about my experiences here.

A New York-based artist named David Sena was once well-known in the tattooing industry, but now he has made a name for himself in the art world with his unique approach to fine art. His artworks are made through the use of fireworks -- yes, fireworks, as in the colorful explosives seen in the sky on the 4th of July.
Sena always had a love for science and art, as he graduated from the Cooper Union for Advancement of Science and Art. However, the inspiration behind his unconventional art sparked from his childhood fascination with the marks that firework sparks leave on the ground after exploding. He tries to replicate those marks on his art canvases and the results are stunning.

Recently, Honda held an event at the foot of Angeles Crest Highway — a Southern California road famous for its sweeping turns and vistas. Unusually, this wasn't to highlight any particular new car, but rather to celebrate Honda's ongoing commitment to the manual transmission. Even more unusually, the carmaker trotted out some manual-equipped classics from its vault: pristine examples of a 1999 Honda Civic Si, a 1999 Honda Prelude SH and a 2009 S2000 CR.
Honda's media relations team also brought some 2018 models: an Accord Sport 2.0, a Civic Si and a Civic Type R. My first thought when I arrived at the event and saw this noteworthy array of classic metal next to a selection of current-generation stick-shift Hondas was that Honda was very brave indeed. Did it really want us to drive the heroes of its lineup — pure automotive unobtanium for JDM fanbois everywhere — next to a Civic with Android Auto that's available by the thousands on dealer lots around the country?
Heck yes, it did, and it knew what it was doing, too. I'll start with a rundown of the classic cars Honda brought.
1999 Honda Civic Si: Let VTEC Into Your Life
From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, Honda had an incredible reputation among enthusiasts for making affordable cars that were fun to drive. The Civic Si has always been at the heart of this ethos, a familiar and pedestrian vehicle wrapped up in an extra layer of goodness to create a product that transcends the sum of its parts. You know, kind of like a Cheesy Gordita Crunch.
Of course, the 1999 Civic Si coupe Honda dug out of its vault still contained everything great and not so great about a late-'90s economy car. There's not much interior space, the steering wheel doesn't telescope and, obviously, gray plastic abounds. The gray cloth seats do have some delightful rainbow highlights that I 100 percent believe would be a serious moneymaker for Honda should they be offered as an option on the current generation.
But none of that is the point. The point is the VTEC badging, the manual five-speed gearbox and, of course, the 8,000-rpm redline on the tachometer. Wheeling the '99 Si up and down Angeles Crest, I could feel both Honda's aspirations for performance and the compromises of economy.
Taken around Angeles Crest Highway's many turns, the Si's body rolls almost hilariously, pitching over to the side so you're leaning practically out of your seat to stay upright. The throw on the gear shift lever is long. Really long. And it might just have been the age of the car, but it also felt a little loose, although there's a positive feel when you engage a gear. At low rpm, the engine feels about as punchy as a riding mower until the needle starts edging past 5,000 rpm, at which point Honda's variable valve timing (also known as VTEC) kicks in — changing the valve timing to increase power at the cost of fuel efficiency — and all 160 horsepower howl to life.
But with so little low-end power, the old Si is endlessly dramatic because it begs to be driven hard. You feel as if you're going too fast all the time, with the pedal at or near the floor and the engine howling and the body rolling over, until you realize you're only right about the speed limit and working hard to do even that.
1999 Honda Prelude: The Prelude That Deserves an Encore
The 1999 Honda Prelude SH felt in every way more sophisticated than the Civic. Even smaller inside for your 6-foot, 230-pound narrator, who found that, even at its highest tilt setting, the steering wheel remained in contact with his thighs. And sadly, the cloth upholstery was merely black.
But the trials of the flesh are quickly forgotten when you get the Prelude SH on the road. With more power (195 horses) across more of its rev range, sportier suspension, a shorter and sharper throw, and active torque vectoring across the front axle, the Prelude is faster, more forgiving and more engaging than the Si. The exhaust note is richer, and the car pulls harder to the slightly less impressive 7,500-rpm redline.
Pitching the Prelude SH into a turn is an excellent exercise for your cheeks since it's hard not to smile at the little car's eagerness to go along with whatever you ask of it. It captures that near-magical feeling of always urging you to go a little faster. In fact, if you want to visit the wayback machine you can read a bit about how much we liked the Prelude SH's dynamics in the year 2002. (You can also marvel at the cutting edge of early 20th-century pop-culture references.)
2009 Honda S2000 CR: CR Stands for Crazy
The 2009 Honda S2000 CR, on the other hand, is so sharp you can never forget it might cut you. I settled down into the snug seats to discover, happily, that the fixed steering wheel is placed high enough to be convenient. And although the window frame is blocking a good portion of my view, who cares? I'm sitting in one of the 1,400 harder, sharper, stiffer, lighter, grippier Club Racer-spec S2000s ever made.
And it's a little terrifying.
The steering is quick, and it feels as if I'm turning the tiny wheel a fraction of the angle the other cars required. Throw on the metal-ball-topped stick shift is laughably short. The notchy transmission goes into gear with barely a flick of the wrist. Throttle response is immediate, and the S2000 blasts toward that incredible 8,000-rpm redline. But caution is the watchword of this car.
The short wheelbase and firm suspension mean you don't just feel every bump, you experience each one as a dynamic event. The S2000 arcs beautifully through turns, but I also get the feeling that too much enthusiasm will quickly bring on oversteer (even though I've left traction and stability control on to catch me if I get too frisky). The Prelude SH positively encourages a devil-may-care attitude, but driving an S2000 at the limit requires a level of skill and care that I am not confident I could exhibit on my best day.
I also have to lean out of the car to see the road ahead around turns because the spot where the frame curves into the front roof pillar completely obscures my view. That's another way the S2000 makes it clear it's a car that is not designed to fit you. Rather, you have to figure out how to fit it, both physically and mentally.
I don't think Honda could bring a car like this to market again if it wanted to. The S2000 is uncomplicated in ways that cars can't be anymore, leaving so much to the driver and making so few compromises. In fact, all three of these classics are at least in part defined by traits that wouldn't fly on a dealer lot these days. But as I was to learn, Honda has managed to capture some of the emotion of its classics, even if it can't re-create the exact experience.
2018 Honda Civic Si: 2018 Is a Good Vintage
The 2018 Honda Civic Si — with its turbocharged engine, 7,000-rpm redline, extra weight (about 400 pounds compared to a '99 Civic) and silly-looking spoiler — is every bit as fun as its grandparents. Like many newer cars, it feels slightly more detached from the road, but not as much as I was expecting. The steering is nicely weighted and feels natural, and the transmission's shifter action is crisper than it is in either the old Si or Prelude. I didn't feel as much of the road through the suspension, but there's none of the old Si's bounce and roll. It corners flatter, pulls harder, and rewards you just as much when you drive it aggressively.
In fact, when hustling a 2018 Civic Si Coupe up Angeles Crest, I only found myself wishing for two changes: a more legible tachometer and a louder exhaust. Between the muffled engine note and hard-to-see redline indicator, I was bouncing off the rev limiter more than once. But mostly, this Si recaptures the strengths of its predecessors. In fact, if you're willing to take off the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia, you might find that the current Si is every bit as fun yet more practical.
2018 Honda Civic Type R: Yes, It's Very, Very Good
If the current Civic Si is fun, the 2018 Civic Type R is a party on wheels. The kind of party where you know all the songs that are playing but no one will tell you what's in the punch — they just keep winking. Once again, the strengths of the old Hondas are on display here. The Type R exhibits the liveliness of the S2000 with the do-what-thou-wilt confidence of the Prelude SH. It even has a metal shift knob. The steering and suspension are more aggressive, and the noticeably stronger engine responds more quickly to inputs. There's a raw feeling to the Type R that's addictive. But it also grips for days and pulls through Angeles Crest's long sweepers with confidence, all while your face tries to escape off the side of your head.
Honda has managed to convey a sense of edginess to the Type R's driving experience that makes it incredibly rewarding to hustle up and down a canyon road, but it's also more accessible. The gear shifter's throw is snappy and short, though not as short as the S2000's. The automatic rev-matching feature for downshifting works great and accommodates drivers who haven't mastered heel-toe shifting (or who can't be bothered). Don't worry — you can turn it off. The burlier exhaust note also makes it easier than the Si to gauge where to shift.
Best of all, the well-bolstered sport seats don't just hold you in place, they're comfortable. Settle down a bit and ignore the fact that passers-by are staring at the ridiculous wing hanging off your trunklid, and the Type R becomes a car you can just ... spend time in. It doesn't ask you to compromise, but it also doesn't feel compromised. That's quite a trick.
2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0: Not Quite in Accordance
Unfortunately, not every car can be built for Angeles Crest. The new 2018 Honda Accord Sport 2.0 proved less adapted to this setting than its stablemates. Please, Honda, don't take this as me suggesting the car shouldn't exist: It's a 250-horsepower sedan with a manual transmission for just over thirty grand. It's basically what I wish every car was. The manual transmission is classic Honda to boot: smooth shifter action and a clear (although high) clutch uptake point. The manual pairs well with the 2.0-liter engine, both for casual and aggressive driving.
The Accord also handles well. For a midsize sedan, it changes direction eagerly and feels stable and planted through corners, even over bumps. It's not particularly dramatic, but that's really one of its strengths. This is an outstanding family car that can hustle when it needs to.
However, while the current Accord is an excellent all-around car, its steering is both light and numb. This creates a feeling of detachment from the road and a driving experience that's fine in a commuter. But on Angeles Crest, the Accord can't quite match the dynamic pace set by the best of what Honda has to offer.
Maybe You Can Go Home Again
It was an absolute treat to drive these cars on this road. And at the end of the day, I came away impressed with how true Honda has managed to be to its enthusiast roots. We may bemoan the loss of high-revving naturally aspirated engines, or the extra weight and complexity of today's cars, but driving them back to back with the true legacy cars made it clear that they've kept the fun.
I also came away trying to figure out how much of my stuff I'd have to sell to be able to buy a Type R. Anyone know how to start a GoFundMe?

Lucy Ainsworth Cooke
Notable Facts
Known as "Sleeping Lucy," Cooke diagnosed illnesses, prescribed remedies, and set broken bones while in a hypnotic trance. Developed a successful mail-order business selling herbal remedies.
Personal Information
Date of Birth05/04/1819
Date of Death05/24/1895
Primary ResidenceMontpelier
Historical Significance
Lucy Ainsworth, known for most of her life as "Sleeping Lucy," was a renown medical clairvoyant, who diagnosed illness and prescribed remedies while in a hypnotic trance. One of nine children, she was raised in Calais, Vermont, helping to support her family by braiding straw and making bonnets. While apprenticed to a tailor to learn fine sewing, she became ill and nearly bedridden for two years. After local physicians exhausted their efforts to effect a cure, the Ainsworths asked her brother Luther, who had learned Mesmerism, for help. Similar to hypnosis, Mesmerism supposedly allowed a person to project a life-force or energy field to another to induce a trance-like state. Under Luther's influence, Lucy fell into a hypnotic trance in which she prescribed her own cure. When her health improved, she vowed to dedicate her life to studying disease and finding cures.
In 1846 Lucy married Charles R. Cooke of Morristown, Vermont, in Moriah, New York. Both Lucy's husband and her brother Luther Ainsworth supposedly possessed extra-sensory perception and helped develop and manage her career as a professional clairvoyant. Charles Cooke induced Lucy's trances while the couple developed her business in Reading, Vermont, from 1848 to 1855, when Charles Cooke died. They had one child, Julia Ann Cooke, in 1851.
After her husband's death, Lucy Cooke moved to Montpelier, where she practiced her art until 1876 with the help of her assistant, Everett William Raddin, who may have replaced her husband as mesmerist. According to local clients, Sleeping Lucy was able to cure illness and set broken bones and fractures by "laying on of hands?; broken arms, legs, collar-bones, and dislocated shoulders cost ten dollars each. Others consulted her psychic powers to find lost objects, for which she charged a dollar. She studied pharmacology, developed cures, and operated a brisk mail order business, both for consultations and herbal remedies. Her products included: Rhubarb Lozenges, White Pond Lily Syrup, Pitch of Sassafras, Diaphoretic Drops, Cedar Ointment, Restorative Powders, Dandelion Compound, and Woman's Friend. Most of her clients lived in New England, but some consulted her from as far away as Iowa and Tennessee.
During the height of Cooke's career, male physicians and surgeons questioned her healing powers and sought to undermine her legitimacy by ridiculing her practice. In response, she claimed to be the "Priestess of Humanity" and to have successfully set over thirteen hundred bones. She printed testimonials from patients and challenged any surgeon to match her record.
From 1877 until her death in 1895, Lucy Cooke practiced in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, with Raddin who became her husband. During these years her career declined, she went into debt, and for a time she became estranged from her only daughter. Reports that Raddin misappropriated funds and treated her badly suggest that he contributed to her unhappiness. She contracted a series of illnesses and finally died at her Cambridge residence, apparently from colon cancer.

Pixie just sent us this great post from Lifehacker that shows how Adam Pash successfully hid the cords in his home office. We found ourselves staring at the before and after pics with disbelief not being able to figure out how it was done. Like all good magic tricks, the answer is simple and well worth checking out.

Indiana farmers say they have a lot to lose should the nation go over the so-called fiscal cliff, a set of automatic spending cuts and tax hikes set to take effect in January unless the White House and Republicans negotiate a compromise.
Many are rushing to pass their farmland down to children or grandchildren before the year is up. If the nation dives, their relatives may endure a steep inheritance tax hike.
Set to expire at the end of the year is a 35-percent tax on estates of more than about $5 million. The tax would increase to 55 percent on estates worth $1 million.
"It's a very big concern for the farm community as a whole," Fred Reichart, a Lafayette grain farmer, told the Journal & Courier.
Jeff Milligan, owner of Monticello-based CPA firm Baker Milligan, said farmers are rushing to take advantage of the $5 million no-tax ceiling. Milligan expects Congress to settle on a $3.5 million ceiling or similar compromise.
"It's an absolutely huge difference, going forward now or waiting," Milligan said. "They'd rather do what's safe than take a chance."
Complicating matters: Average-quality farmland in the area increased its value this year by nearly 20 percent, according to an annual Purdue University farmland survey, to $7,475 per acre. Top-quality land is $8,949. Poor-quality land is $6,121 per acre.
That's a good thing, Milligan said, until smaller players suddenly are bit by big taxes.
"The higher value of farmland has basically taken smaller farms that were normally not an issue and made them an issue," he said.
The issue is striking a chord with farmers who want to make sure their children are set up financially when they pass away.
Philip N. Burket of Lafayette said since his children live about 12 hours away from his farm, what he'd be passing down to them is the monetary value of the farm, so he'd like to maximize it.
"To me, land is the most important thing to have," Burket said. "I guess I've got the farmer's soil under my fingernails and neither of my children has that. What I'd want is to leave the most to them as possible."
Richard Beesley of Beesley Farms in Thornton, said he's glad the dilemma doesn't apply to him.
"We own 180 acres of corn and soybeans," Beesley said. "We don't own that much acreage, so that's one way around it. We're pretty much set up right now."
Reichart, the Lafayette grain farmer, said besides contacting legislators, there's not much farmers can do at this point.
"All you can hope is that better judgment prevails," he said.

It is not easy to acquire desirable philatelic items from North Borneo nowadays. Fortunately, now and then, the dealers have some nice and reasonably priced offerings. Being a regular customer also makes it easy to get a discount on all purchases.
This is a very attractive incoming card showing Jesselton D2, Sandakan D8 and Lahad Datu D3. It was addressed to the New Darvel Bay Tobacco Plantations Ltd near Lahad Datu from a manufacturer of embrocation which was an old word for a liniment treating sprains and injuries. Such injuries were likely common place among the labourers working in the plantation. This company survived until 1930.
It is obviously not a North Borneo postcard but it was sent as part of information to shareholders of The New London Borneo Tobacco Company Ltd about the sales and shipments of tobacco. This was one of the earliest tobacco companies and was started by Count Geloes d'Elsloo. Its main property was the Ranau Estate which won a prize in a tobacco competition in London in 1889.
I am showing this postcard because its adhesive is cancelled by Jesselton D6 in a very beautiful magenta colour which is rather unusual.

Although digital marketing has sky-rocketed, we still need the traditional forms of marketing to build success. Harnessing the benefits of digital marketing is no doubt becoming fundamental to the success of a business, but exhibition shows are still a great way to communicate directly, and advertise to your target market. Exhibition shows are usually focused on a specific industry, so showcasing your business during exhibitions poses obvious potential benefits to your company.
The difficulty with all marketing is how to do it well enough to outshine your competitors. Trade shows are no different. Given that exhibitions are usually industry specific, you have the challenge of standing out in a crowd that's full of businesses offering similar products or services to you. Marler Haley Banner Stands can help highlight your brand values and offerings while setting your business apart.
Don't Neglect the Importance of Design
The thing that's going to attract a potential customer query is first achieved by making sure your exhibition stand looks great. Aside from being visually pleasing, your stand design needs to showcase your company, products and values. All you need to do once you've attracted queries is to dazzle them with your charm, and you might just have won yourself some new business.
- Make sure stand designs suit your business –individual businesses require unique designs buy brand name adderall online that reflect their product offering while looking impressive. It's no easy task for inexperienced designers, which is why professional assistance is recommended. The imagery needs to reflect your values and key messaging.
- Keep it simple – Your design should convey useful information, but it shouldn't try to turn every aspect of your business into some kind of novel. Many of your potential customers will take a glance at your text-heavy design and simply ignore it because they'd rather not stand there reading for 15 minutes. Text featured on banners should remain simple and concise as well as conveying the key points you want to tell customers.
- Think about the banners you require – Some exhibition show stands are more difficult to assemble than others. Similarly, some stands could potentially survive longer than other materials, and some may be more adaptable depending on the size of the exhibition. Consider how many employees you have at your disposal, how often you wish to use the same stand and whether it needs to be suited to the outdoors.
Exhibitions needn't be a pain if you choose an experienced company to offer expert advice. However, given the importance of the design, make sure you compare the experience and testimonials from the companies you are considering for your show needs.

"You're an egg machine."
On the way home, KG and I even treated ourselves to outrageously good doughnuts at our local bakery. Seriously, they are AMAZING.
I'm sore, groggy, and relieved it's over.
Pins and needles until I get the fertilization results tomorrow! In the meantime, DVR and Powerade.
24 comments:
26! That's awesome! Hope you drink tons of Gatorade, lots a salt and minimum carbs to keep that OHSS at bay. Keeping my fingers crossed that your fert report goes well.ReplyDeleteReplies
I guess the doughnuts weren't a good idea then :)Delete
Wow! That's amazing. Hoping you get good news tomorrow!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! That's pretty amazing. I'm glad everything went well and I'll be thinking of you as you wait for good news tomorrow!ReplyDelete
Ooh, 26 is great. Sit back and enjoy DVRing/Powerading and I'll be hoping for a great fert report.ReplyDelete
I had been obsessively updating my blog reader today waiting to hear how your retrieval went!
Amazing number and I am thinking about you until tomorrow. Hoping for a great report! You definitely deserve a doughnut, enjoy :)ReplyDelete
WOW!!!!!!!! 26 is AMAZING!!!!! Good job!ReplyDelete
Now, I'm focusing all positive thoughts and vibes to your eggs, hoping for equally great news from the fertilization report. Come on little ones! Fertilize!!!!
So glad it's over - I'm hoping you get a great report tomorrow!ReplyDelete
This news makes me giddy :) Yay!! 26 is GREAT! You have enough eggs to populate an entire football team, plus alternates and water boys :) Go go Gadget fertilize!ReplyDelete
I hope you have plenty of good quality embryos! Thinking of you and hoping you don't have OHSS.ReplyDelete
Wow. did you ever get your vitamin D levels checked? The issue with PCOS of course is that while the quantity often off the charts high, only a certain percentage are good quality/mature. The 2 ways that the quality has been shown to be upped is metformin and maybe vitamin D too. 26 is not a crazy number by PCOS standards, I've seen egg retrieval numbers of like 50 or more, my sense is, the higher the numbers, often the worse things turn out because very few of them are good quality, so with 26, it sounds like a pretty ok place to be.ReplyDelete
Keeping my fingers and toes tightly crossed!Replies
I asked about getting it checked but the RE's office said it won't get insurance approval through them. So, I need to go to my PCP for any vitamin level testing. I just didn't have time to get in for that yet.Delete
Last time, 19 out of my 23 were mature and looked to be of good quality...at least that's what I was told. It seems like no matter how slow and steady my stims are, I always develop a bunch of follicles. So, we'll cross our fingers.
Wow, that is honestly a dumbass response of your RE. And vitamin D IS strongly linked to fertility, so it should be tested as part of the fertility workup--- your RE should so should read all the articles listed on this page...given that they are in fact written by his sodding peers!Delete
- limoncelloApril 10, 2012 at 4:30 PM
YEAH FOR YOU! The doughnut is well deserved - enjoy, rest and good thoughts for you all. I am cheering you on girlie!ReplyDelete
Amazing egg retrieval!!! Your Fert report will go great tomorrow! sending GREAT fertilization vibes your way!ReplyDelete
Atta girl! You EARNED that doughnut. Good thoughts being sent your way for an awesome report tomorrow!ReplyDelete
That is AWESOME! Good job girl! I want a doughnut! :) Can't wait to here your fertility report!ReplyDelete
Whoa! That's rad! Fingers crossed for some awesome eggs and great fertilization report :)ReplyDelete
That is amazing! Saying a prayer for you tonight. Hoping you get wonderful news tomorrow!ReplyDelete
Very impressive my friend. I hope many of those are mature and many fertilize. I am thinking of you and those possible embies!ReplyDelete
26! Wow! Hope tomorrow brings even more amazing news!ReplyDelete
26! That is amazing! Hoping and praying you get a great fertilization report tomorrow!ReplyDelete
Wow that's great!!!!!!! Good luck for tomorrow!!ReplyDelete

From BSOD forum to Hardware forum.
Hello, been trying to fix my BSOD issues for a while. Usually occurs when playing League of legends, might work all day long and all fine, but sometimes I get BSOD. I just recently played Dungeons 2 from Steam and Rocket League, and I get BSOD from Dungeons 2 or that the games just close without warning and "is not responding".
I have noticed that this occurs more often if I am watching a stream on second monitor.
Anyway, I recently updated my hardware, GPU, PSU and RAM. And I guess the next step is to update my CPU and MB, but I though I would check with you here first.
|My System Specs
|04 May 2016
I talked to one from the support team from Dungeons 2, and he said that the problem might be in that my computer does not get enough power and ends up BSOD or auto restart. Is this something you could check and close in on?

ProCredit Bank Reaches Agreement With EBRD And Canada's IFPT On Syndicated Loan Of USD 11 Million
ProCredit Bank, the medium-sized bank formerly known as the Microfinance bank, signed an agreement with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and Canada's International Finance Participation Trust (IFPT) in late September on provision of a syndicated loan of USD 11 to ProCredit Bank.

According to the statement, this loan is to be provided for 6.5 years.
ProCredit Bank plans to use the syndicated loan to finance the operations of small businesses in Ukraine.

The net assets of the bank were valued at UAH 423.5 million, its balance-sheet capital totaled UAH 49.8 million, while its loan portfolio amounted to UAH 378.3 million as of April 1.

The Republican Party is planning to punish Florida for moving up its political primaries. The Democrats earlier this week said Florida would not be able to send delegates to the party's presidential nominating convention because the state's Legislature scheduled its primary for Jan. 29, even though the Democratic National Committee only allows Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada to hold votes before Feb. 5.
Thank goodness the parties are imposing some discipline, said the Los Angeles Times (free registration required) in an editorial. The states clearly won't do it. They're falling over themselves to vote first so their voters will make the bliggest splash. "Why don't we just vote for president tomorrow and be done with it?"
The primary system is clearly "broken," said Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) in USA Today, "but the answer isn't to deny people the right to have their vote counted." In the future, the parties can avoid the competition to be first by holding rotating, regional primaries.
What are Floridians crying about? said The Chicago Tribune (free registration) in an editorial. "Florida Democratic leaders now have a choice: They can kowtow to the DNC and wear silly hats to an irrelevant convention next summer—long after Democrats in other states will have selected the party's nominee. Or they can stick with the Jan. 29 primary, attract oodles of attention from presidential candidates, and—by giving voters in such a populous state an early voice—play a much more influential role in winnowing the Democratic candidates."

How to organize video files?
Most people have various sorts of video files on their computers. Typically they are home videos, various clips (for example, shared by friends), movies in a number of different formats. With just a few videos, one does not feel the need to create a catalog of such files. But if there are dozens or hundreds of videos, organizing them can save pretty much time and provide some powerful tools.
We will use an advanced movie organizer program, Movienizer, to create a catalog of our video files in several clicks.
Step 1: Download and install the program.
Download Movienizer to your computer and start the downloaded file. Follow instructions of the setup wizard to install the movie organizer.
Step 2: Start the program. Create a new database.
Launch Movienizer. The main window of the program will be shown:
Right from the start, Movienizer shows a certain number of movies and actors. This is its demo database, it can be used to check some most commonly used features of the program. However, we do not need the movies, so let's create our own database. Select "File" - "New database":
A usual "Save as" Windows dialog will pop up. Browse to the folder where you keep your data and enter some name for the database file. Click "Save".
Now we are ready to add our own video files.
Step 3: Scan and add video files.
On the toolbar of Movienizer, click the leftmost button, "Add movie":
A new window will be shown. Here we see that we can add movies in 4 different way, but we need the last one, "From files and folders" (1):
After we select this option, a "Folder structure" area will appear on the right (2). Select folders that you want to scan for video files and click the "Find videos" button at the bottom of the area (3).
Movienizer will scan the selected folders, adding all video files that it finds to the main list (4). The program tries to extract movie titles from filenames. If some titles are not correct, you can edit them directly in the list. Just click on the corresponding title and make necessary adjustments.
When everything is correct, click the "Next" button (5).
Step 4: Download information about movies.
By default, Movienizer starts looking up information about the movies you add on the internet. Of course, this will not work for home videos, so you can simply disable the "Download info about the movie from the internet" box when adding your home videos. For them, you will need to enter information manually.
For regular movies, however, everything is quite easy.
A list of search results will be displayed for the first movie you add:
You can select the correct result from the list and click "Next".
If your movie titles are pretty unique and correct, you can easily skip selecting movies from search results by activating the "Get the first title from search results" feature at the bottom of the "Add movie" window.
Step 5: Organize your videos.
After downloading information about all video files from the list, Movienizer will close the "Add movie" window. Now you can enjoy working with your movie catalog:
Movienizer has a number of features that allow sorting your movies in many different ways, browse them by actors or directors, playing videos directly from the catalog, print reports, etc. There is also a powerful plugin that allows renaming video files.
With the free trial version of Movienizer, you can add up to 50 films into one database. If you like the features, you can register the movie organizer and remove all limitations.
