http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/m...,7641317.storyAs expected, Dolphins rookie tackle Jonathan Martin was lined up as the first-teamer on the left side Wednesday, replacing the injured Jake Long (triceps).
Also as expected, Nate Garner was lined up as the first-team right tackle, replacing Martin, who flips sides.
That's how the Dolphins played the final three quarters of last week's 23-16 loss to New England. It's likely how they'll open this week at San Francisco against the NFL's second-best defense.
Offensive coordinator Mike Sherman likes what he's seen from Martin, the second-round pick from Stanford.
"A young man like that just out of college and already having played both sides of the line and being thrown over there in the middle of the game speaks volumes of what he's all about," Sherman said.

Aside from that...looks like you've completely missed my point. Your 30 year old sister is hardly the target audience here either, and yet you still figured it was worth mentioning; seems like we're not far off the same wavelength.
I'm confident that no one I know who wasn't at least slightly exposed to comics or Superheroes as cartoons anytime in the last twenty years would be able to recognize even the Fantastic 4 outside of obvious visual association before the movie came out (even then, I'm betting most would've picked them out as 'Rocky-guy' and 'Fire-guy' or 'Torcher' and 'Stretchy-Guy.' The giant number 4 on the chest would certainly help a lot more in naming the group as a whole than GL's lantern shaped chest emblem.) Either way, as I see it there are still far more recognizable individual DC heroes than individual Marvel heroes as far as the general public is concerned. Having had more recent films in theaters helps, but even more DC characters have had better recent exposure right there on basic cable. In fact, I think it's their existence as part of the cultural vernacular in spite of the very lack of there having ever been a solo Green Lantern, or Flash, or Aquaman movie that proves exactly how recognizable they are.

Herein lies the confusion
Read the link above to the Forbes article
I have an Aunt that provides comprehensive healthcare inside those car facilities. She provides cheaper insurance, in house pharmacies, wellness centers etc. We were talking about about the multiplier effect and she says its unbelievable the supply chain benefits these states gain by having these plants. The real economic impact sometimes is not as tangible as skeptics will point too. It's there though.
ETA: The Film industry gradually moving to Louisiana is a process. Just the spinoff business we are seeing is amazing.
Are you so simple in your thinking that you do not believe that there are negative consequences to subsidizing one industry over another?
quote:No, YOU tell ME about negative multipliers. This will be entertaining if not enlightening.....
Tell me about negative multipliers.
It does not pay and never will so long as I, I B Freeman, have no idea what I'm talking about....
Can you spell L-I-N-K???
where are the state coffers drawn from?
Tell me about negative multipliers.
where are the state coffers drawn from?
This is one scary-ass thread. I somehow continue to be amazed that sheep buy into these schemes. Funny thing is I did buy a boatload of these tax credit a few years back and didn't have to pay ANY state income taxes when I sold a business.
Oh. And I didn't pay ANY property taxes on a big warehouse I built on a manufacturing tax abatement program. At the same time other businesses next door to me were paying for the roads police and other govt services.
Do the credits bring new money into the state? Yes Well, lets give the same tax credits to ALL businesses AND all individuals and bring in even more! Oh wait. That won't work. Someone has to pay taxes so well let some politician decide which individuals and businesses have to pay taxes and whom their taxes will be paid to.
Wait. I have an even better idea. Lets just have the state write everyone a check for a zillion bucks. Think of all the jobs that would create!
No point in calling out individuals on this but some posters in this thread are really complete morons. It's one thing to sit back and be taken advantage of, but to become an advocate for people robbing you blind is beyond ironic.
Central govt economic planning worked so well in china, the Soviet Union, North Korea, and Cuba I can see why everyone seems to want to try again in the good ole USA.
with income taxed at 6%, it would take $17 in salaries to replace a state outlay of $1.
wait... Lets get back to this.
Tell me about negative multipliers.
economic impact" dollars
When the industries do not compete for the same customers or resources
the state DID take from all tax payers over $200 million this year

Serves ten to twelve.
Get a double dose of both strawberry (filling and topping) and chocolate (crust and ganache) with every bite of this cheesecake.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, stir together the chocolate wafer crumbs and 3 Tbs. granulated sugar. Mix in the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moist and clump together slightly. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan and press evenly onto the bottom and about 2 inches up the sides of the pan (to press, use plastic wrap or a flat-bottom measuring cup). Bake until the crust is fragrant and slightly darkened, 9 to 12 minutes. Let the pan cool on a rack. Lower the oven temperature to 300°F.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, strawberry purée, flour, and a pinch of table salt on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl and the paddle frequently, until very smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Make sure the cheese has no lumps. Add the 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar and continue beating until well blended and smooth.
Add the vanilla and beat until blended, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs one at a time, beating just until blended. (Don't overbeat once the eggs have been added or the cheesecake will puff too much and crack as it cools.) Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Bake at 300°F until the center jiggles like Jell-O when nudged, 55 to 65 minutes. The cake will be slightly puffed around the edges, and the center will still look moist. Set on a rack and cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 8 hours and up to 3 days. The cake can also be frozen at this point for up to 1 month (see make-ahead tip, below).
In a small bowl, melt the 3 oz. chopped chocolate and the butter. Add the corn syrup and whisk until smooth. Unclasp and remove the side of the springform pan and run a long, thin metal spatula under the bottom crust of the cheesecake. Carefully slide the cake onto a flat serving plate. Pour the chocolate ganache on the cheesecake and spread evenly.
Just before serving, garnish with the sliced strawberries. To cut, run a thin knife under hot water, wipe it dry, and cut the cake into slices, heating and wiping the knife after every slice.
To freeze, put the unmolded, cooled cake on a rimmed baking sheet in the freezer, uncovered, until the top is cold and firm; then wrap it in two layers of plastic and one layer of foil. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Wayne Law jumps 18 spots to No. 87 in U.S. News & World Report rankings
DETROIT – Wayne State University Law School moved into the top 100, jumping 18 spots to No. 87, in U.S. News & World Report's list of Best Law Schools for 2014.
The rankings were released today, Tuesday, March 11.
Wayne Law's 2014 ranking is its best in nearly 15 years and represents a climb of 34 spots in just the past four years. The 18-spot increase from 2013's ranking of 105 is one of the largest jumps of any law school in the rankings.
"This ranking validates the quality of the education we provide to our students every day," Interim Dean Jocelyn Benson said. "It shows in the consistently high bar passage rates of our students and the fact that our graduates have one of the highest employment rates in the state. The university and our Wayne Law family of alumni, faculty, staff, students and supporters have so much for which to be proud."
Wayne Law joins two other Michigan law schools in the top 100. Michigan State University College of Law also is ranked at 87. University of Michigan Law School is ranked No. 10.
While Benson, who became interim dean in December 2012, celebrated the accomplishments and hard work that have led to the climb in ranking this year, she stressed that the journey continues.
"While I'm proud to have led Wayne Law during this past year of significant growth, we won't rest on our accomplishments," Benson said. "We continue to solidify Wayne Law's role as the premier public-interest law school in the Midwest. Continuing the growth of our civil rights, entrepreneurship, environmental and international programs, as well as their related clinics and other hands-on learning opportunities, will ensure we are training the next generation of lawyers, advocates and leaders to make an impact with their careers and in their communities."

Real customer reviews from Kia owners like you.
The intake manifold is an aluminum, steel or plastic cover that sits on top of the engine. It is attached to the top of the engine by an intake manifold gasket (or gaskets) that is made of plastic and rubber. The intake manifold directs the air-fuel mixture in the engine to the corresponding cylinder where it is burned to produce power. The coolant flows through the intake manifold to the cylinder heads to reduce engine temperature. Expansion, contraction, and heat from the engine cause the gasket to fail. This will cause coolant passing through the intake manifold to leak. A leaky manifold gasket can also result in air being sucked through the leaky gasket, resulting in a vacuum leak and poor engine performance.

Just saw an infuriating headline: "Accused Child Rapist Fears Abuse in Prison." The article then explains that the defendant, Edward Dean, tearfully told the judge that he's "terrified" of serving time in state prison. Dean is facing six counts of child rape in state court and a similar number of federal charges (all just as repugnant as the state charges).
Call me crazy, but the idea that someone who preys on children would be afraid of going to prison is laughable. Just writing this I can feel my pulse starting to race. If one of my kids had been a victim, I'm quite sure that Mr. Dean would be a lot safer in prison than in a place where I could get to him. And I know I'm not alone in that.

Rally highlights destitute asylum seekers' plight
April 27, 2012 by Grace Franklin · Leave a Comment
by Martin Graham
ONE HUNDRED and fifty people braved the cold and hail on Saturday morning to attend a rally at the UKBA building at Brand Street, Govan, to protest at plans to evict up to 200 asylum seekers from their homes.
Charity Ypeople, formerly YMCA, are set to evict up to 140 people seeking sanctuary after losing a government contract to Serco.
Serco is an international service company which also operates tagging schemes for offenders, runs prisons and has business at Guantanamo Bay.
Ypeople had been allowing refugees whose asylum claims had been refused, to remain in their homes. But under the new contract they may be forced to evict these tenants. Ypeople said that the profit on this contract for the UK Borders Authority (UKBA) was used to enable people to say on over the contracted time.
Speakers at the rally included Kingsway campaigner and former Scotswoman of the year Noreen Real.
Noreen said: "I will fight with the last breath in my body to stop our government treating people like animals. We're not dealing with animals, we're dealing with human beings. Stop starving them out, stop putting them out on the street."
EIS president elect Susan Quinn said: "We are being asked in schools to develop curriculums where we promote citizenship and understanding, where we promote empathy, yet what are our leaders doing? Our leaders are doing the exact opposite of what we teach our young people."
Phil Jones from Unity support centre said: "There are proposals to house refugees in board-only accommodation. They could be housed in hostels with only food and no money."
A temporary night shelter in the city is already attracting an average of ten people a night. There are also known to be a large number of rejected asylum seekers in Glasgow who have a roof over the head only because friends let them sleep on their sofa.

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:What do you do?!
It's a good idea to report the infraction to the EP regardless of physical evidence. When reporting include as much info as you can, time, place, description of the individual. Ex. 5:30am pole 205 mainland side, 5'10" wearing jeans and a white T-shirt sloped forhead and protruding jaw. All kidding aside if you report the time and place, license plate etc... EPO may pay more attention to that location. I made a report about someone who was poaching trout at little pond. The EP asked for a vehicle description, time the person fished and location. I don't know if a citation was issued but I at least feel as though I've done something put a stop to the problem.
RE:What do you do?!
Way to go Roop!
RE:What do you do?!
I hate those situations, making the moral decision is easy, it's the unknown response of a strangetr that is the problem..
I would like to think that an offer to show the "sport" how to handle a fish and why would be well received but I also know that in this day and age, it could get you hurt.
I have a similar story to address the EPO issue. Every Thanksgiving my hunting buddies and I spend the morning on a pheasant hunt in the public fields. We all are members in an out of state hunting lease due to our belief that hunting public land in Mass. is extremely dangerous because of sports similar to hose that Hawkeye ran into. But, being home with the families for the holidays and the need to get out makes the morning a usually pleasant experience.
Two years ago, we were in Miles Standish, moving to another spot, the dogs were in the crates, the guns were unloaded and in cases (pre trigger locks) and as we were driving down the road we were following another truck by about 50 yards.
A nice bird flies across the road and lands in a tree on the opposite side of the road and the guy in front of us throws on the brakes, hops out with his shotgun & plugs the bird in the tree from beside his truck. We pull up as he is picking up whats left of the bird and ask him if he knows it's illegal to shoot from the road (we didn't bother to address the loaded gun in the vehicle issue). He gives us the finger, hops in his truck & drives off.
We gave his license plate number to the EPO. They called my buddy that afternoon and asked for a statement and then went to his home. Guess what they found there?
From what I remember, the guy lost his license + was issued a hefty fine.
My long winded point is that we have to be the eyes & ears of the EPO and be willing to appear as a witness if we report someone. An anonymous report just doesn't work, it leaves too many opportunites for the "sports" to get away.
RE:What do you do?!
I have my doubts regarding the SW fishing license. I'm afraid that only a small portion goes to fish resource management. It would amount to just another tax on the honest sportsman. Poachers aren't going to bother with them, and if a law isn't enforced, is it useful? In CA. striper stamps, Steahead tags and freshwater licenses are a joke. They are used only to generate $. Poaching stripers is so widespread that I feel stupid wearing my license, and don't sweat it when I forget it.
Oh, what to do...Take down his plate and maybe if the cops aren't too busy, they will enjoy dressing down the miscreant. Many policemen are avid sportsmen too.
RE:What do you do?!
My first reaction is to throw him back like the fish, but...
I'm starting to believe that it's necessary to have a SW license if it pays for (a) more stringent enforcement policies (b) better accountability for what's really happening out there /mortality, catch records, etc/ and (c) support for well-directed research programs that help guide policy makers to make good decisions and influence a coast-wise management mentality.
If my license dollar pays for more fish cops, I'm willing to buy two. I think every single one of us can tell a story about poaching, mishandling, and lack of respect for the fish that give us recreation and enjoyment. Some fishing techniques are ridiculously arcane and when practiced without care the fish pay a big price.
I'm going to start bringing a video camera primarily to capture great moments while fishing - but also to capture low points. I've always got a camera. I think we can do a lot to create awareness. Some guys are innocent but only know how to fish in ways that mess them up... drag, step, and kick. Others are downright breaking the laws but feel they can get away with anything so why not. If officials start to get evidence from honest anglers, perhaps they can be directed to locations, individuals, and circulstances where this type of this occurs.
Perhaps the existing laws could be changed to prohibit angling for striped bass or bluefish, or any coastal species using conventional striped bass tackle (gear which can be considered suitable for striped bass by enforcement or the magistrate) once a striped bass has been retained by the angler. That would mean you must keep blues before a striper if you want both (pretty likely). It would also mean that if you have possession of a striper caught that day and are fishing, you are breaking the law. Furthermore, specifically name "culling" as illegal.
This is the way steelhead works out west. There is also a punch card to limit and record annual kill per angler.
What do you do?!
My morning excursion to the canal was made interesting (infuriating is probably a better word) by the activities of a sportsjerk (opposite of a sportsman) just down current from me. He stepped up to the water and started throwing a popper to the occasional surface fish and eventually hooked into a nice fish that bordered on the keeper line from my vantage point. Without measuring he hefted this maybe keeper by the gill plate and put it up in the rocks behind him where it thrashed and bashed itself around. He then went back to fishing and about 10 to 15 minutes later he hooked a somewhat larger fish and when he landed it he hefted it by the gill plate and put it in the rocks behind him. He then shoved the first fish over the rocks toward the water. When it finally reached the water it flopped a bit turned on its back then eventually righted itself (Of course no help from mister sportsjerk) and swam (I'm sure to it's death) out into the canal.
I didn't say anything because my experience in other similar situations when I did say something it was unproductive. The only action I have taken in situations like this that worked out was to call enforcement and I lacked a cell phone and the evidence was gone.
How have some of you handled things like this?

Commerce Department Pushing For New "Copyright Czar" 294
TechDirt is reporting that those all-too-familiar "stats" surrounding the cost of piracy are being trotted out in an attempt to push through a new "Copyright Czar" position. "In urging President Bush to sign into law the ProIP bill, which would give him a copyright czar (something the Justice Department had said it doesn't want), the US Chamber of Commerce is claiming that 750,000 American jobs have been lost to piracy. Yet, it doesn't cite where that number comes from."

Hyundai, the South Korean auto brand that boasts a stylized "H" logo symbolizing a handshake, markets mainly cars in the United States, although the redone Tucson small SUV is a strong entry and the Santa Fe compact SUV is a sales stalwart. During the past few years, Hyundai has been applying its new design philosophy called "Fluidic Sculpture 2.0" that it describes as "dynamic, futuristic, and sleek" to its latest model introductions such as the seventh-generation 2015 Sonata. A signature trapezoid grille and vertical intake slats provide a European look to redesigned models. For 2016, the Hyundai Tucson is redesigned, while other models such as the Accent, Azera, Elantra, Genesis, Sonata, and Veloster receive only minor feature updates and adjustments.

I mentioned this before in the contest thread but this video really doesn't have any merits other than the colouring. It was something small I worked on over the summer because I wanted to practice colouring in Photoshop, however because I couldn't finish my other entry on time I ended up submitting this to AWA instead. So please don't worry if you can't see a story or anything resembling a concept because there isn't one. XD
The artwork in this manga is beautiful though, and I'm happy to know there'll be an anime adaption of it coming out soon so I hope this video will gather more interest in the series. Enjoy!

what I was conveying Nancy, is that at the very top of the Sport we use the birds in a very conservation minded manor. I have seen hunt test clubs dispatch many more birds than necessary when good previously used birds were available. Lets be respectful of the animals giving their life for our sport and dispatch as few as possible. After all our dogs are the ultimate conservation tool.
Maybe some of those barely FF dogs need to wait a bit before entering a test.

Barclays Capital's Asia-based wireless and mobile technology analysts, including Dale Gai and colleagues SC Bae, Yuji Fujimori, and Kirk Yang, along with others, today offer a longish (54 pages) group report in which they opine that the phenomenon known as the "phablet" — a cross between a smartphone and a tablet computer — is sweeping the globe, and "changing the competitive dynamics of the mobile device market," as a result of what may be strong sales over the next three years.
The authors go so far as to say that phablets will be the main driver for several technology migrations — a bigger driver than smartphones or tablets: "While these technology migrations are also being applied to other devices such as mid-sized smartphones or 10-inch tablets, we believe the market for phablets will become the most competitive, due to higher volumes."
And they offer the following chart of those technology migrations (click for larger image):
The early winner in the phablet wars is Samsung Electronics (005930KS), the authors write. Samsung's "Galaxy Note," which is on its second iteration, is perhaps synonymous with the term in many people's minds, as reports this morning indicated the device may be on track to sell 10 million units by the end of this quarter after just coming to market at the end of the year.
The phablet, usually distinguished by a 5- or 7-inch screen is the "next fast-growing data consumption mobile devices," which may see as much as 70% compounded annual growth through 2015, helped by rising 4G wireless access globally, improvements in display technology, and prices, ultimately, as low as $200 without carrier subsidies.
That means an increase from perhaps 84 million units shipped last year to perhaps 402 million in 2015, they opine.
Phablets have become a general area of high-end smartphones, rather than a separate category, they write:
Based on ABI [Research's] definition, a phablet is defined as a smartphone with a display between 4.6 inches and 5.5 inches. However, the original definition has become obsolete, in our view, as the screen sizes of mainstream high-end smartphones (excluding the iPhone 5) in 2H12 have all migrated to displays of 4.6 inches and above. We believe the term phablet should apply to all crossover mobile devices, ranging from mainstream smartphones (4-5 inches) to small-size tablets (7-80 inches).

. I load the Arduino environment and load the basic/blink sketch. When I upload it to the board, I see the TX/RX lights blink a few times, then the board goes back to the single blinking yellow light and solid green light.
That sounds like the basic blink sketch is running, what did you expect to see?
I was thinking about it last night and it dawned on me that I probably need to have an LED connected to one of the output pins. After looking at the code and another search, I found this tutorial which confirms what I thought. I was expecting to see one of the onboard LED's light up. Had a DUH moment! Thanks for the suggestions!http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BlinkingLEDThanks,Nick
Any recommendation on the size of the current limiting resistor to put in series with the LED?
My ultimate plan is to build a race timer for a Lego Mindstorm race we are going to be having in January. Any recommendations on a segment board that will easily integrate with the arduino's output? I have some basic knowledge of electronics from college 20 years ago when I was pursuing a EEE degree.

When considering the millions spent on Super Bowl advertisements, the tonnage of chicken wings, chips and dips consumed and the overwhelming fanaticism, it might feel like football is a religion all its own.
The heralded matchup even takes place on a Sunday, leaving pastors to decide how best to adjust services and activities to accommodate the game.
Origins, a seed church of the Orchard, holds its Sunday service in the evening, but for the Super Bowl, the congregation will meet in the morning.
"There's definitely a tension there where we have to ask ourselves 'are we compromising ourselves as a church,'" said Jason McAnally, pastor at Origins.
Last year, Origins had a Super Bowl party at Tupelo's Salvation Army, where the congregation mingled with the nonprofit's residents and provided a projection screen, edibles, and even Astroturf to make party-goers feel like they were on the field.
"We wanted to do more than just give charity. We wanted to take the occasion of the game and use it to let people know that they are part of the community," he said.
Neil Davis, pastor of the Journey Church in Guntown, said the game is a way to reach out to people on common ground.
"We put a lot of emphasis on creating and maintaining a missional community," Davis said. "The Super Bowl is a common interest that connects people, and provides an opportunity to speak into someone's life in a very natural way."
The church does not have a Sunday night service, but Davis said the church will show the game on a projection screen at the Extreme Kids building in Saltillo, and encourages anyone to attend.
St. Luke United Methodist and First Presbyterian also lack a Sunday night service, but take advantage of the game for their annual SOUPer Bowl events.
First Presbyterian's Dan Brasfield said church members prepare soup and bread dishes to serve after Sunday morning service at no charge. They ask the congregation to donate the amount they would have spent on Sunday lunch to support the church's mission trips.
"It's a fun way of raising money, and it only ties into the game because of the play on words," Brasfield said.
West Jackson Street Baptist Church has tried various Super Bowl events in the past, but Student Minister Chris O'Daniel said the church has struck a balance this year. He said the church will shift its regular 6 p.m. service to 4 p.m., and hold Super Bowl fellowship after, where the game will be viewed at the church.
"Even faithful members who only miss one or two services, one of those will be Super Bowl," O'Daniel said. "It's a hard line to walk between doing what God wants and being worldly."
O'Daniel said in previous years, the church has tried to ignore the event all together. The services during the game were poorly attended, and ran danger of dividing the congregation. The Super Bowl, O'Daniel said, is simply too big to ignore.

Focus on Funds
Morning Read: Size Drives This ETF of New Companies
Market check: Index futures point slightly higher and yield on the 10-year Treasury bond is rising 0.5% to 2.60%. The price of gold futures is fractionally higher at $1,317.50.
Fund watch: This weekend's ETF Focus column in the print edition of Barron's argues the Renaissance IPO ETF (IPO), which launched to heavy demand last week, isn't as speculative as the name suggests. This fund isn't about betting on big first-day pops in new stocks: It instead owns the biggest newly public firms' stocks for their first two years. This group isn't well understood, thanks to Wall Street quiet periods, investor disinterest and the stocks' absence from major indexes. From the column: "University of Florida economist Jay Ritter found three decades of outperformance (1980-2011) in IPO stocks with the biggest sales revenues before they go public. If a company sells a lot of products, it's certainly less likely to be a Pets.com-type disaster. While this may sound obvious, it's tough to put into practice." The Renaissance ETF is market-cap weighted, which except in the frothiest markets should correlate with sales. By that measure, top-weighted stocks Facebook (FB), Pfizer's (PFE) pet-and-livestock medicine spinoff Zoetis (ZTS), and restructured auto supplier Delphi Automotive (DLPH) make up almost one-third of the portfolio as of this week.
In the news: Money is zipping in and out of exchange-traded funds at a record pace, with $47 billion coming into ETFs since Sept. 1, report Whitney Kisling and Nick Taborek of Bloomberg News.
In case you missed it: The creator of the VIX "fear index" has cold words for the exchange-traded products his index has inspired.

Do I Need A Bamboo?
Posted 05 December 2009 - 02:46 PM
First of all, would I need the pen AND touch, or just the pen? (Just the pen is cheaper!) I have both a touchpad and a mouse, so I'm not sure the "touch" component would be all that helpful or necessary.
Second -- well, should probably be first -- do I even need it at all? I'm just a scrapper, not a designer. I've been using PSE 4 forever, but just got some birthday money and am going to upgrade to PSE 8. I hate trying to use the mouse when using the lasso tool, and the few times I've tried extracting anything were a disaster (although that could just be because it was PSE 4, I don't know). It's hard to erase the extra pixels with a touchpad or mouse.
I'm leaning heavily toward buying just the Bamboo Pen, no touchpad, certainly not the "Fun" (WAY too expensive). Any advice, suggestions, or whatever?
Posted 05 December 2009 - 03:44 PM
Do you NEED a tablet? No. I scrapped for two years with a mouse and did just fine. I am sure there are many here who still use a mouse and do just fine.
Will you LIKE a tablet? Most likely. I don't think I have met anyone who has switched to a pen and then decided to go back. The trick is, putting the mouse away. If you leave it out, you will still rely on it and never fully learn the pen. My tablet sat collecting dust for over a year before I finally took a class here, set up the custom buttons and put my mouse away. I love it now and would never go back.
Is the pen and touch better? If if was available when I bought mine, I would prefer to have both. The main reason being than I am always having to pick up and set down the pen to type and such (probably my one complaint, but a small one). If I needed to just use the tablet for a quick click of something, I could use my finger instead...if I had the touch feature.
If you are thinking of upgrading PSE, I would highly recommend looking at the different tablets. Many of them come bundled with a version of PSE. The Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch Fun Small Tablet at Amazon comes bundled with PSE 7.0 for Windows, PSE 6.0 for mac for $85. About what you would pay for PSE 8 and then you would have both an updated PSE and the tablet.
And Welcome to ScrapGirls!!

Maybe Caren will sell you hers? LOL!
Posted 05 December 2009 - 07:08 PM
So I said I'd been using PSE forever, but I've only REALLY digi-scrapped for the last couple of months. Before that I dabbled and did mostly paper scrapping. But I'm finding I LOVE the convenience of being able to scrap whether I'm sick or well, tired or full of energy, and with a laptop it's much more portable than hauling my craft loft around with me! lol
I'm not actually that new to ScrapGirls itself, just the forums. I think I started coming here in, like 2006, but at that time I decided digi-scrapping wasn't for me. I tried it again in February of this year, thought it was kinda fun, but didn't really get serious until I decided to do my heritage/family tree scrapping in digital. NOW I'm really getting into it.
Anyway, it helps to hear from y'all on what you think about the Bamboo. Anyone else? ...
Posted 05 December 2009 - 08:19 PM
!. You already gave a great reason for having the pen tablet....extractions. I have no idea how I managed with a mouse or a touchpad.
2. Brushwork....so much more control with the pen.
3. I absolutely agree with Christy on getting the tablet bundled with PSE7, one price, two goodies. 7 is not that much different from 8 and they are both way better than 4.
4. I have the pen and touch. I don't really use the touch all that much, but use the pen for absolutely everything...don't even have a mouse anymore. If you're doing this without unlimited funds, go for the pen for sure.
5. You really don't NEED a tablet, but it is a great tool and one that speeds up scrapping and gives you more control with whatever you are doing. Its been one of my favorite new goodies to play with.

Here's my question, though: Will it fit on my lap? No, really. I have back issues, and almost always have my feet up when I'm sitting. (For example, right now I'm on the couch with the laptop on my upper thighs and a cat on my shins.)
So, my laptop is literally on my lap, and I use the mouse on my thigh. Where would I put a tablet?
And, is it possible to buy it without PSE7 for a lower price? Just upgraded to PSE8. I do have a friend who's interested in the pages I do, so she might be interested in buying PSE from me, but I'd rather have her buy it herself...
Posted 07 December 2009 - 05:39 PM
I sit on the couch with my laptop most of the time, too, because of back issues (can't sit in an office chair for long at a time), and I was thinking of just putting the pad on the seat next to me, which is where I also have the mouse (next to me). If that doesn't work I do have a computer table, but it's so much easier to just put the laptop on my lap top! lol

text: Gamma met in the mid-nineties at Cream Of The Crop @ WKDs. Blacktiude (aka Ebu) had moved down to London from Birmingham and, not completely impressed by some of the freestyle on offer in the capital, persuaded Juice Aleem to come down to win the money. His first attempt led him to a final showdown with an MC called Lord Redeem. The three MCs became friends and built their relationship working together on the now-legendary Ghetto Grammar project, but even then they were getting together, along with producer Mister Mitchell and working on beats and rhymes together for the group Gamma. Juice and Ebu first appeared as Gamma alongside Blak Twang on Roots Manuva's seminal "Skiver's Guide" and on compilations such as "The Experiment" and "10,000 Men Strong". The group's debut single, "Black Atlantians," was an NME Single of the Week and their album, "Permanament," was widely acclaimed. The group went on to record tracks for the "Extra Yard" compilation and put together the Shadowless organisation, which gave early exposure to artists like Infinite Livez, Defisis and Tomz.

Straub sworn in as Spokane's chief of police
SPOKANE, Wash. - Frank Straub raised his hand and pledged to honestly and fairly uphold the laws of Washington as he was sworn in as Spokane's latest chief of police Monday.
So far his toughest decision he's had to make involved coming into compliance with his new department's regulations on facial hair.
"The big debate was do we just take off the goatee or do we take out the goatee and mustache," Straub said Monday.
The Spokane Police Department doesn't let its uniformed officers wear beards and so Chief Straub struggled to bring himself into compliance with the policy.Straub sworn in
"For the members of the department who are here I'm not saying where we are going to go in terms of the facial hair policy but I will says it's a traumatic day for me," he quipped to some chuckles from among those gathered for his swearing in ceremony.
Straub said his first week on the job has been a whirlwind so far; he's taken several tests including a polygraph. He's also been to the department's gun range, where he qualified with his new duty weapon, a .40 Glock pistol.
"I qualified last week. Both firearms instructors are still alive, they have no bullet holes in them. Someone asked me earlier today if my targets looked like I was using a shotgun," he joked.
Straub stepped away from the self-deprecating humor when he delved into more serious topics, like the department's experimentation with body cameras.
"I believe right now we're looking at three different brands of body cameras. We have them out on every shift, at least two officers wearing body cameras, so we'll see how the analysis goes," he said.
Without being prompted, Straub also touched upon the long-running oft-mentioned concerns regarding the Otto Zehm case.
"This department has learned a whole bunch of lessons from that. At some point in time we're going to have to say it happened. It was a horrific experience that should have never happened but now we have all to move on and police are going to need the community and the community is going to need the police to make that happen," he said.
Straub said when his officers make mistakes they will be held accountable but he is already proclaiming his new department one of the most progressive and professional he's seen in his 27 years of law enforcement.

Newlyweds-to-be Tim Mazzanti and Ashley Starkweather
First wedding reception at UTSA set for this month
By Omar Hernandez
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 15, 2009)--Ashley Starkweather '09 was two weeks into her first semester at UTSA in fall 2005 when she met Tim Mazzanti '05; he was in his last semester. They met in a class that Mazzanti had put off taking for four years. They had no idea their chance meeting would culminate with the celebration of their marriage on the campus where they met and fell in love. It also would be the first wedding celebration at UTSA.

That semester, the couple spent much of their time at basketball games in the Convocation Center. Both students where highly involved on campus. Starkweather was a member of UTSA's dance team, and Mazzanti is a founding member of the popular Blue Crew, the group that paints themselves blue and shows their UTSA spirit at games. Not long after, the couple got engaged. Starkweather said her family would joke that the couple should get married in the Convocation Center.
"We told our family we were going to have our reception at UTSA, but in the ballroom," said Starkweather with a smile. She quickly explained, "It's brand new and it's really awesome."
The idea of having their reception at UTSA began when Starkweather was studying in the new section of the University Center across from the ballroom. She remembers the area being very comfortable and quiet. She got up from the couches and peeked into ballroom and was impressed.
"Wow!" said Starkweather, "I thought this would be really nice to have my reception. It's brand new and really big."
The couple was planning a reception for approximately 250 people. Starkweather knew the area could easily accommodate the party, but she was not sure if a wedding reception could happen on campus. She began asking around until she ended up in the events management and conference services office. Starkweather discussed her plans and a staff member assured her they could handle the event, although they were caught by surprise.
"We were approved for weddings on campus a month before Ashley walked into our office," said Nikki Lee, UTSA associate director of events management and conference services. "We thought, here we go! But, we knew this was the right couple to start off with."
There are plans for a variety of private events to be in the University Center ballroom. Lee said planning the first wedding reception on campus will be a challenge, but she is determined to kick off the new use of the area without incident. The attitudes of the couple gave her inspiration. Both were proud of UTSA, and their enthusiasm for the university is obvious.
Even after Mazzanti graduated in fall 2005, he stayed connected to UTSA. He would see Starkweather perform during home games and continued to stay involved with the Blue Crew.
"UTSA is a place that we hold in high regard -- the campus has grown right before my eyes," said Mazzanti. "When I started in 2001, we had 17,000 students and now we're pushing 30,000. Buildings are popping up everywhere. It's just amazing the maturity of the school, and I want to be part of that maturity."
Starkweather, who graduated in May, is looking forward to starting her life with her new husband. Her relationship with UTSA goes beyond a degree -- beyond the countless hours she spent studying, the exams and parties. For her, UTSA is where her life began.
"We have such a connection to this school -- it's where we met," said Starkweather. "I had such a positive experience here. So, to have this be part of the biggest day of our lives is really neat."
Starkweather and Mazzanti will be married June 27, 2009.
For more information on special events at the UTSA ballroom, contact Adam Bennett at (210) 458-4155.

5.5 Gallon Nano Tank In Progress - Thoughts or Suggestions?
I am currently constructing a 5.5 Gallon Nano Tank for my dorm room.
I do know how to cycle and will be using my cycled filter and filter material in order to start the tank off right.
I basically want some input on my current stock ideas as well as my choices in plants and other equipment. Feel free to add any suggestions or comments.
- 3 Scarlet Badis (1M,2F)
- 4 Cherry Shrimp
- 1 Nerite Snail
Plants and Decor:
- 1 Medium Moss Ball
- 2 Banana Plants (Nymphoides aquatica)
- 1 Small Unknown Plant from my previous 20 Gallon
- 1 Large Patch of Java Moss
Tank Equipment:
- 5.5 Gallon Glass Tank (Measures 17 x 9 x 11)
- Fine Gravel/Sand Substrate
- Top Fin Power Filter 10 (Will Most Likely Swap Out)
- Aqueon 50 Watt Heater
- Incandescent Hood (Will Most Likely Swap Out)
I will most likely be utilizing frozen BBS and other compatible foods.
Looks like a nice balanced tank. I've never had success with that banana plant in a tank but that could just be me.
If your looking into replacing that - Incandescent Hood , check out an LED hood. They are reasonably priced for a 5.5 tank and my plants did well under them until I had them on a 55 gallon. The light just didn't get down there.
A rule I live by, the more capacity a filter has, the better. Just makes tank keeping easier.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.

Yeah. I've had good and bad experiences with them so far, so I'm going to give them another try. They also fit well to the size and behavior of the Scarlet Badis.
I planned on getting LEDs, I think they look amazing plus conserve energy. And I typically like to have at least double filtration but I will upgrade after so stabilization has occurred.

I was also wondering if anyone could suggest specific foods. I'm well aware that they are picky eaters and will most likely refuse flake and pellets.
I have been considering the following:
- Frozen Baby Brine Shrimp
- Frozen Daphnia
- Frozen Cyclops
- Possibly Culture My Own Stock
In the beginning, I am hoping to lean on the frozen food and possible baby Cherry Shrimp to help fill them up until I can get a steady stock of live food available.
Any thoughts? Suggestions?

In April 2009, a committee was formed to develop the Risk Management/Safety Module for the CDC's Model Aquatic Health Code.
The committee spent countless hours researching, writing, editing and re-editing the content for the code. The team — including builders, operators, health department officials, chemical manufacturers and educational organizations — was committed to conducting necessary research and providing supported feedback as we sought to address safety and risk management challenges for the wide variety of aquatic venues.
Our focus was giving direction on safety topics that would provide a safe experience for patrons, as well as help mitigate risks for aquatic venues. The module addresses common safety and risk management topics such as chemical handling and storage; employee training; record keeping; inspections; evacuation procedures; depth markers; signage; lighting; materials and water temperatures.
This module includes an annex to provide additional and supporting information on the topics. It answered questions such as the ones below; following are brief answers. For complete recommendations, you should refer to the actual module, which can be found online:
Q: Do lazy rivers and wading pools need depth markers?
A: No, but the patron should be informed at the entry point.
Q: When do I need artificial lighting in my pool, and how much lighting do I need?
A: It's needed if, when the pool is operating, there is a lack of artificial lighting, or it's operating at night. The lighting provided must have the ability to detect a bather and allow visibility of the pool floor.
Q: Where should emergency phones be placed in an aquatic venue?
A: Permanently affixed and visible from within the pool enclosure.
Q: How should chemicals be stored?
A: In compliance with the manufacturer's MSDS and applicable codes.
Q: What should I include in my emergency plan?
A: Information about the facility, emergency response equipment and plans for the types of emergencies.
Q: Can my employee still work in the pool if he has been ill with diarrhea?
A: No. Create an employee illness policy for your facility.
Q: What do I need to check before opening my pool?
A: Items include water quality levels, operational equipment and facility safety.
As we developed the module, the committee strove for performance-based content as opposed to objective criteria, with detailed information in the annex to help understand how to accomplish the intent of those standards. For example, we described the desired outcome of appropriate lighting for particular locations instead of numeric values that may not achieve the desired results due to the vast diversity of aquatic venues. That was in part because we couldn't find any scientific data to support a definitive level of lighting.
As technology advances in the aquatics industry, the committee decided that our guidelines must allow for these opportunities and not limit design innovation. For example, lighting aquatic venues above and underwater can be accomplished with several different means. In the same way, we didn't want to restrict use of underwater surveillance technology that facilities could use as part of their lifeguard supervision strategies. So this section allows different options for differing venues and technological innovations.
The module addresses employee safety and training as it relates to pool chemical use and public health concerns, consistent with the CDC's focus on healthy swimming. We realized that education needs to be a two-pronged approach. First, patrons need proper signage that educates and informs them about healthy swimming behaviors. Second, employees need necessary training and education so they can serve as role models for patrons and provide a safe swimming environment. Ultimately, a safe workplace for employees creates a safe environment for patrons.
The public comment period for this module recently closed. The next steps involve a review and response by the MAHC Steering Committee and the Technical Committee as necessary. Once all sections have been posted for public comment and those comments are considered and addressed, the entire Model Aquatic Health Code will be posted for another comment period prior to final publishing. The module will be available on the CDC's Model Aquatic Health Code site with comments included until the entire Model Aquatic Health Code is posted in its final format. More information can be found on the CDC's Model Aquatic Code Website.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Online Behavioral Tracking
There is a lot of discussion about Do Not Track at the moment. The FTC has announced support for the idea; Mozilla has added a Do Not Track header option into Firefox betas, and Congresswoman Jackie Speier has introduced a Do Not Track bill. Other proposed privacy legislation, such as Rep. Bobby Rush's bill, could also achieve similar objectives. And yesterday, EFF submitted comments urging the Federal Trade Commission to defend online privacy by supporting the header-based Do Not Track feature.
Support for a browser-header-based "Do Not Track" proposal is building in both the federal government and the private sector, which is good news for Internet users who are concerned about privacy. Friday, EFF submitted comments to the Department of Commerce Internet Policy Task Force, urging the department to embrace the system and support legislation that would authorize the Federal Trade Commission to act on Do Not Track.
Earlier today, Mozilla announced plans to incorporate a Do Not Track feature into their next browser release, Firefox 4.1. Google also announced a new privacy extension today, but we believe that Mozilla is now taking a clear lead and building a practical way forward for people who want privacy when they browse the web.
At the beginning of this year EFF identified a dozen important trends in law, technology and business that we thought would play a significant role in shaping digital rights in 2010, with a promise to revisit our predictions at the end of the year. Now, as 2010 comes to a close, we're going through each of our predictions one by one to see how accurate we were in our trend-spotting. Today, we're looking back on Trend #8, Congress, where we predicted:
In retrospect, 2009 wasn't disastrous for online civil liberties in federal technology law. With Washington entirely distracted by health care reform, a lot of the most problematic proposed federal technology legislation was delayed, postponed or temporarily forgotten.
Online privacy continues to be a hot topic in Washington, D.C. A few weeks ago, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a staff report calling for greater protection of online consumer privacy. A House subcommittee heard testimony on the increasingly popular idea of "do not track" for the Internet. Soon thereafter, Microsoft announced a new tracking protection mechanism for Internet Explorer 9.

I want to create a Jabba's Palace Diorama! I know Hasbro make one and they have been done before - but I want to make a 100%(scaled) accurate palace. What I need to do this is... an original plan of Jabba's palace. I have seen lots of photos and bit and pieces but never a whole plan - they must have produced one when the set was built originally - Does anyone know where I can find one please?
Any help would be appreciated!
