May 17, 2012
The Lake Dillon Theatre Company is holding the first of two panel discussions on Language in Theatre (the second is June 3) this Sunday at 4 p.m. Taking place at the LDTC theater house in Dillon, the discussion will be moderated by Josh Blanchard, Director of A Behanding in Spokane, currently running at the LDTC. The cast of the show will be involved as well. Panelists are: John Moore, former Denver Post theatre critic; Christy Montour-Larson, associate producer of Curious Theatre Company; Alex Miller, playwright and manageing editor of Summit Daily News and Christopher Alleman, artistic director of the Lake Dillon Theatre Company. This is an opportunity to discuss themes and language not only in the current show but in contemporary theatre in general. No reservations will be taken for this discussion. It will end before 5 p.m. allowing patrons time to eat before the production at 6 p.m. This is another way the LDTC fulfills its mission of providing educational and informative opportunities to the community.
The summer Lake Dillon Youth Workshops are still accepting applications. Three four-week sessions begin June 8, July 9 and July 23. Participants will perform the Hysterical History of the Trojan War, a historical comedy interpreting the famous epic by Homer, featuring all of our best-known Greek gods and goddesses and famous heroes. Sessions will have between 20 and 40 children each with ages ranging from 7 to 13. Classes meet Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and registration is $375. Some scholarships are still available. The education director for the summer programs is Debbie Swartz. Each group will put on two performances of the show on the final day of the session at the Dillon Amphitheater. Call (970) 513-9386 or visit http://www.lakedillontheatre.org for more information.

A thieving art auctioneer seeks the help of an alluring hypnotherapist in order to repair his damaged memory and recover the treasured Goya painting that he stashed following a brazen heist in this kinetic thriller reteaming Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle with Trainspotting and Shallow Grave screenwriter John Hodge. Adapted from the 2001 made-for-television feature by writer/director Joe Ahearne (who collaborated with Hodge on the screenplay), Trance finds prominent art auctioneer Simon (James McAvoy) dealing with brain damage after he teams with crime boss Franck (Vincent Cassel) to steal a Goya from an auction, then tries unsuccessfully to double-cross his fierce accomplice. In response, Franck knocks Simon unconscious with a vicious blow to the skull, wiping out any memory concerning the whereabouts of the prized painting. When Simon claims to have no recollection of where he hid the stolen masterpiece, Franck and his crew grudgingly agree to let talented hypnotherapist Elizabeth (Rosario Dawson) try and pinpoint its location. Now, the deeper Elizabeth probes into Simon's subconscious, the more complex the mystery seems to grow. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Interesting interview with Craig Mundie, Microsoft's Chief Research and Strategy Officer in the CIO magazine
"The next thing that will emerge is an architecture that allows theapplication developer to think of the cloud plus the clientarchitecturally as a single thing. In a sense, it is like client/severcomputing in the enterprise. It was the homogeneity that existedbetween some of the facilities at the server and the client end thatallowed people to build those applications. We've never had that kindof architectural homogeneity in this cloud-plus-client orInternet-plus-smart-devices world, and I'm predicting that will be thenext big thing."

I recently downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Linx Beta2 for testing. I love what I am seeing, so I want to share some of my initial impressions on what seems to be a release that could mark a milestone in Ubuntu's history.
This second beta shows most of the latest branding updates. I think the Canonical staff pulled off the right moves on this one. Ubuntu looks sleeker, more modern and with an even more professional look.
A simple yet good looking screen welcomes as the boot process starts.
The new branding has been tightly integrated from square one. A screen showing the new Ubuntu logo transitions into a simple implementation of the usual progress bar splash screen, which I have omitted due to the low resolution in my virtual machine. I must admit I liked the Karmic concept better, that shiny bar moving left to right and back, but this idea looks good as well. Overall, no plain text messages are displayed, which gives a nice, friendly feel to the boot process.
At last, the ugly text messages that were part of the start of the LiveCD installation are finally gone for good. The LiveCD now loads a graphical interface with a more familiar and friendly look. As expected, we can choose if we want to boot from the LiveCD or run the installation wizard. The good old language preference menu now looks a lot better integrated.
A simple yet good looking screen welcomes as the boot process starts.
The next few steps look very similar to what we have seen in previous versions, showing the usual keyboard language, time zone selection, etc., only using the new window theme and styles.
Ubuntu quickly detected the right time zone settings automatically.
As soon as the usual initial parameters are set (time zone, language, detault user account, etc.), the actual installation starts, showing a very nice set of slides, fully taking advantage of the new branding and design.
The new wizard slides look amazing.
The installation slides display highlights of Ubuntu's main features.
As the progress moves forward, the slides introduce the user to Ubuntu.
Evolution, Firefox, Ubuntu One, OpenOffice and F-Spot, among others, are presented as the installation moves forward.
Empathy, Gwibber and the rest of the social features are also highlighted.
Ubuntu 10.04 will aim at taking the social integration even further than it was in Karmic Koala. As such, Empathy and Gwibber are highlighted during the installation process.
A very interesting feature, which I have found for the first time in 10.04, is that the installation process takes care of those updates we usually had to do once the installation was completed. As you can see from the screenshots above and below, package download progress is displayed and we can see dpkg in action, installing packages. As a result, I recommend having a working ethernet network connection plugged in when installing Ubuntu from now on.
Accessibility is once again a priority in Ubuntu 10.04.
Another element that gets an introduction during this process is the Ubuntu software center. After it made its debut on Ubuntu 9.10, it has been improved further in this yet to be released version. However, even if it was initially aimed at taking all installation and update functionality, this Beta2 still has the Synaptic package manager in its usual location under System > Administration menu.
The Ubuntu Software Center is highlighted in the installation slides.
Once installation finishes, we are asked to reboot and remove the LiveCD. After a couple cosmetic changes, the Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Linx desktop looks like this:
A nice clean desktop. We can see the social integration in the upper right menus.
Firefox is once again the default Internet browser in Ubuntu 10.04. In this case, version 3.6.3 is on board. Interestingly, Yahoo is still used as the default search engine. This is a bit of a surprise, as Canonical recently revealed it would go back to Google. I guess that change will be effective before going live anyways.
Firefox 3.6.3 is preinstalled.
Setting up empathy is easy and quick. It provides a simple integration for an impressive list of protocols, all accessible through an easy to use interface. From Google Talk to Sametime or MSN messenger, it's all there.
I believe the deep integration of social networking protocols is a great feature, specially for those who normally use several of them, as I do. Native support for my Tweets, MSN, Yahoo chat and Google Talk chats makes it amazingly convenient to stay in touch with my friends and people I follow. From a professional standpoint, it too adds to productivity, as it saves precious time, disk space, and the hassle of having to install and setup several applications.
Empathy supports an impressive number of protocols.
Aside from the already expected OpenOffice suite, which is now on version 3.2, Lucid Linx includes a new video editing tool, PiTiVi. This is a very nice companion to RhythmBox, which takes care of the audio reproduction bit.
RhythmBox, Totem & PiTiVi will cover your video and audio needs.
As mentioned already, the Ubuntu Software Center has been further improved on this version. The initial menu makes it very easy to find applications, clearly splitting them into categories. I like how this application is progressing, but it seems to me it is still not mature enough to take all installation and update responsibilities yet. I hope they keep Synaptic available for now!
The Ubuntu Software Center in all its glory.
Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Linx will be released in less than two weeks, and is looking amazing so far. I truly believe this version will make a milestone in Ubuntu's history. There is a very significant improvement in terms of functionality, but it is the branding, style and improvements to the GUI that I think will make the difference. If anything, I only miss a proper default icon theme. The Human theme has been around forever, it looks aged and low quality now. I think Canonical should invest in creating a more professionally looking icon theme, which should make the actual branding and style upgrade complete.
Ubuntu always shined as one of the Linux distros that made itself easily accessible to any kind of users. In my opinion, Ubuntu 10.04 only improves further in the right direction. If it manages to make a significant improvement in terms of hardware support and backwards compatibility, it will be best positioned to become a huge success.
I definitely recommend installing and using Ubuntu 10.04 once it is released, you will be pleasantly surprised!
(NOTE: Due to the limited amount of testing resources, installing a Linux distro right after release date is not recommended for new or inexperienced users, as some bugs may still be pending resolution. If it is your first Linux installation ever, make sure you boot from the LiveCD before you install. Such approach will help you in understanding if Ubuntu supports all your hardware.)

I agree with you about the need for improved default icon themeReplyDelete
But with the resources available to Canonical you'd think they would be able to produce something far better than this.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting.ReplyDelete
@megoog: Well, I agree to some extent. I personally think Canonical should stop releasing several flavors of Ubuntu and simply concentrate on the main one. If all Canonical resources were focused solely in releasing the best Ubuntu possible, it would be far better.

Cowboy Troy
By 1999, Troy was asking for time off at his job managing a Foot Locker and heading to Nashville to shop his rap-meets-country demos. Rich was now working with Big Kenny and the two were busy hosting their "Muzik Mafia" nights -- a performer's roundtable known for its risk-taking attitude. Troy's style fit right in and he spent the next three years perfecting his live show. He was more than ready when Big & Rich asked him to appear on their debut album. Horse of a Different Color became a massive hit and the sold-out tour that accompanied it included a showstopping appearance from Cowboy Troy. Performing "Rollin' (The Ballad of Big & Rich)" with the duo on the 2004 Country Music Association Awards made Troy only the second black artist to take the stage at the show, the first being Charley Pride 38 years earlier.
Cowboy Troy soon landed his own record deal with Warner Bros. Nashville and got to work on his debut with Big & Rich as producers. Loco Motive hit the shelves in May of 2005 as its first single, the rousing "I Play Chicken with the Train," was climbing the charts. He soon landed a gig as co-host of CMT's singing competition Nashville Star, which put him next to Wynonna Judd on one season, Jewel on the next. In 2007 he released his second full-length, the much more serious Black in the Saddle. A year later he performed at the Republican National Convention and parted ways with Warner Bros. His 2009 album, Demolition Mission: Studio Blue Sessions, landed on the indie label Winding Road. Demolition Mission did well enough to return Troy to the good graces of Warner Nashville, which put out his third album, King of Clubs, in spring of 2014. ~ David Jeffries

Iam I seeing this pattern correctly?. It looks to me that the squares are not all the same size. Granted, it could just be an illusion, but it does give the design more character.

Iam I seeing this pattern correctly?. It looks to me that the squares are not all the same size. Granted, it could just be an illusion, but it does give the design more character.
Haha, I love the one of Joker jumping over Batman.
I think it might be the way they printed it and the fabric used. I'm thinking they might have used a white fabric as a base, but the patterns on the shirt are so tiny and condensed, it might have bled through slightly to what little bit the base fabric actually shows through. I'm not a fabric printing expert, so I'm not sure if that's possible, but right now I'm inclined to think that.
The square pattern I think is just an optical illusion of sorts. They all look the same size to me, but where the fabric folds away from the camera, they look smaller.
I think I am seeing the hex from two different angles that is making it appear to be two different patterns.
Wow. Thanks for those good photos
Don't rush it, but get it done rapido.
Love the pics near the end of the last page. Still one of my favorite parts when the henchmen trys to take off the bats mask. BZZZZ BZZZZ HA HAHAHA HAA!!!
I found this gem at Sears today! Thanks for whoever it was to push me in the right direction. :lol I looked for a button down shirt and vest as well at the thrift stores, and all I could find for vests was ONE white vest from The Coat Factory, but it didn't have a collar on it. :facepalm
The Tie looks ALOT more greener and close in person. -
Guys, I know you want this asap, but I'm REALLY trying to get it done! The problem is communication. I'm waiting for the vice preisdent to call me back. I've been emailing him through his personal email address, but we need to physically talk to get everything finalized. It took over five days to get him to return some of my emails. He then asked me to reply with my phone number. The only problem was I was gone last week and have a week left to get my iphone 3g...darn! Soooo, I just forwarded my girlfriend's phone number to him on Saturday (I even changed her answering machine saying it was me!). I asked him to call asap around noon so I could be sure to be by the phone. I'm working really really hard to get this done for you guys because I REALLY REALLY want it too.
Thanks for the update Kwally... :D
As far as Halloween goes....production time is around 2-3 weeks. I can get it cut and sent within days of getting it. If everything works out the way I want, you should have a couple weeks to make or have it made. Hope this calms some nerves. If worse comes to worse and there isn't enough time for Halloween, I'm guessing that most will still be interested. I'm going as Boba for Halloween, but I still want a full Joker mannequin. I'm actually starting a Heath Ledger scuplt as the Joker for the mannequin head. I've seen that most sculpts have really deep wrinkles which makes him look like an old grandma...I plan to correct that!
Awsome, glad to hear well have a few weeks to work on them. I think we may end up tackling the vest next anyway. But does anyone have any good patterns for the button down shirt or vest in the first place? I found some women's vest patterns in Mcalls,etc. books, but couldn't find anything for men's button down shirts.
Well, boys! I just got Pinder's latest pattern, and it is ready to print!! I really really think this is the one! The cirle pattern with the little triangle IS in Pinder's pattern. You just have to look closely because the triangles are at a 45 degree angle. IT IS THERE!! Let's here what you think.
Ok guys...I think it is time to start tackling a big part of this run...getting everyone's order. Just pm me with the exact amount of fabric you need. NO FRACTIONS OF A YARD!!! If you need 3 1/2 yds...you order 4yds...I really need to get a solid (no longer rough) estimate of what I'm looking at. My initial estimates were around 400 yds...but I think that has gone up a tad...just do this asap! THANKS!
The new Pinder pattern in #213 looks like the one Kwally!
I will need 5 yards of material.
How much does a medium shirt take?? Anyone know
Ya guys, I know that it might change with the price, but I really need a good estimate. Thanks
Go ahead and put me down for 4 yards. Do we know what width the material will be?
What type of fabric was the general vote. I figured a lightweight 100% cotton, but others said something different. Any ideas guys??
I agree with GHOSTSOLDIER, when you look at the jokers shirt in the pics he posted, the shirt has a "darker" feel to it then white. I think the pattern we are talking about using came out is great, but would look bad on white. There is too much "open area" in the hexigons for the white to show through. It would look like you printed it on a white shirt, unlike the pics of the joker where it looks like the design was printed on a slightly darker than whtie fabric. I would strongly urge if nothing else use a very light blue or purple, just so the shirt doesn't appear white. Because in the end, it only matters how the shirt comes out from the printer, and I would like mine to look like the jokers in the pictures posted of him!
Simplicity 2895 for the vest and overcoat- only need slight modifications to be screen accurate.
Make sure those colors match kwally! remember, get the right mix of navy and deep purple. More toward the navy side... remember to compare it to the coat in the images i posted.
Once again, I applaud everyone's effort, enthusiasm, and input... we could run a business, lol.
I'll send a PM in a second with my yardage.
Also lucked out and found a purple trench coat that fits me. I'm just hoping I can get the thing to dye a bit darker.
Now I need to head out to Sears, because that tie looks great!

2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
The camshaft adjuster solenoid (which is related to the variable valve timing system) may fail or timing chain/balance shaft components may wear, resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and various drivability issues. Mercedes-Benz has released a service bulletin outlining specific repair instructions depending on fault codes stored.
The Mercedes Benz CLK550 may have engine oil seeping or leaking from the back of the cylinder heads. This is commonly misdiagnosed as leaking valve covers.
On the back of the cylinder heads there are three, in total, plastic expansion plugs that plug access ports to the camshafts. These plugs are well known for seeping oil, and leaking if left unattended. The oil will run down the back of the engine and eventually make it to the ground.
Replacement of these three plastic plugs is extremely simple, and should be done as regular maintenance. The recommended interval for replacement is every 60,000 miles.
The heating, ventilation and AC (HVAC) heater box is susceptible to mildew buildup. This can result in a musty odor from the HVAC system, most noticeable when the system is first turned on.
Torque thrust bushings in the front suspension may crack and leak oil, this causes steering alignment problems and excessive tire wear. Another symptom of a worn bushing is a clunk or thud noted when turning, on hard acceleration, or hard braking.
As a way to increase braking performance, the brake pads and rotors are make of a softer material and may be in need of replacement after approximately 20,000 miles; owners should be vigilant about getting their brakes checked.
The engine may develop a stalling and/or no start condition due to a failed crankshaft position sensor.
Ball joints can wear out prematurely, causing wear in the tires.
The sway bar end link joints may wear and cause a knocking noise over bumps. Loose or warn links should be replaced to correct this type of noise.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential.
High mileage or older vehicles commonly develop leaks from the differential seals and/or cover. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit whenever these leaks are repaired.
It is not uncommon to encounter premature failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Computer control modules for the seats and doors, the CD changer, and the brake lamp switch tend to fail.
Going over large bumps in convertible models may cause the roll bar to deploy, rendering the roof inoperative. Special tools are generally required to return the roll bar to its stowed position.

3-1 Miami now
3-1 Miami now
Rolen not having such a hot night at 3rd.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Ball was foul. Bad call. Not that close on the replay.
Yes it was foul.
That ball was not a double: it was clearly foul.
""Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona." George Will
Homer with 7 Ks, no runs score for Brewers.
No harm no foul as they say
Nolasco laid down a beautiful squeeze to get Miami their third run. Pirates batting in 4th - Alvarez just his 20th homer. Now 3-2
Good hustle by Rolen. Leadoff double.
Tell me the old man ain't got some hustle!!
Did they really say Rolen would call these guys "whippersnappers"?

See your one of those people who kills originality. What you're saying is you would pay a total of $70 for two shirts such as "cooler than you" and "imposter." It's like some sick "buy one, get another for the same price deal." Because I really need two of the exact same shirt. Most of his penguin shirts aren't even funny in the first place. This one is amusing but, doesn't make up for the fact that it's still one penguin who's different from the rest. Now I have a name to blame for previous derbies. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your vote even though you don't like pink I was thinking cherry blossoms and spring for this design, and I did realize that pink wouldn't be for everyone. I don't wear pink unless its totally epic pink.
Thanks for the feedback! I've submitted like 6 derby entries and finally someone said something about my work - I appreciate it !

Don't get me wrong. I didn't and won't tattle this, as I am not the arbiter of derby rules and I think that's kind of a boghogey thing to do anyway.
You drew a big blue hairy monster with horns coming out of a little girl's closet with thoughts of friendship. To me, that image evoked memories of Monsters, inc. It appears I'm the only one so far who thinks that.
adorable. I'd absolutely love one of these shirts

Outputting MatrixForm to Word
I have some matrices of modest width (they fit across the screen easily) whose numeric
contents I want to copy into MS Word so I can reformat them by hand (underlines, italics, etc.,
selectively). Everything I have tried results in Word seeing a picture instead of text. I cxan make
true text by changing the cell to InputForm, which loses the nice columnar layout. I need to keep
the data in the MatrixForm layout. Can I do this without recoding my output?
Thanks for any tips.

Yes, I was so surprised when my wife's baby doc showed me a pic of this
How do ya' like the EOTECH? Told ya' they were good.
Hey Ship, is the pressure pad under the barrel for the laser or light? And how do you hold it down. I keep my hands behind that part. or do you just use your finger extended out to hold it down? Very nice setup by the way.
Put on a tin foil hat and and somebody would think you just landed from outer space. Them guns are different but neat. Good luck with it Ship.
I've seen other owners of PS90s w/ pressure switches on the side of the gun - around the grip area. I didn't want it there - because then if ya DON'T want the laser, ya gotta change your grip or turn it completely off.
This way, I can hold it normally - and should I want it, then I just extend 1 finger to push down on it. So far, out of all the pics I'vse seen of PS90s, I'm the only 1 with it set up that way with the pressure switch in that location. I really like it


text: I keep hearing on this site over and again that people should steer clear of hives that have bee sprayed. Fact is most home owners who have tried to spray them do so with a can of wasp spray from ten or more feet away and in most cases don't affect the colony in the slightest.By all means proceed with caution but ask lots of questions such as what did you spray them with? Exactly what did you do, how did you spray them?If its the most common answer "with wasp spray from fifteen feet away", I will take this removal any day of the week.If they say they drilled a hole and injected a chemical or worst yet an insecticidal dust, back away as quickly as you can.Sounds like you are most concerned with the 30-40 minute trip there Liz....JP

What a Beautiful set!!
Size of the pearl is 6-6.5mm,
1 Freshwater Pearl Necklace : 43 cm Length
1 Freshwater Pearl Bracelet : 19cm Length (adjustable to 23cm)
1 Pretty Pearl Pendant on chain
1 pair stud earrings
1 pair drop earrings
Absolutely stunning to look at.
What Makes Freshwater Pearls Different?
Freshwater pearls differ from other cultured pearls, in that the great majority of them are not bead-nucleated. Freshwater mollusks are nucleated by creating a small incision in the fleshy mantle tissue of a 6 to 12 month old mussel, then inserting a 3mm square piece of mantle tissue from a donor mussel. Upon insertion, the donor, (graft) tissue is twisted slightly, rounding out the edges. What happens after this point is really just speculation.
Some believe that this tissue acts as a catalyst in producing a pearl sac thus making the 'nucleation' actual 'activation'. Others believe the tissue molds with the host to create a pearl sac, while still others maintain the tissue is the actual nucleus. Although it is said that a freshwater mollusk can withstand up to 25 insertions per valve, it is common industry practice to perform only 12-16 insertions in either valve, for a total production of 24-32 pearls.
The mollusks are then returned to their freshwater environment where they are tended for 2-6 years. The resulting pearls are of solid nacre, but without a bead nucleus to guide the growth process the pearls are rarely perfectly round. Imperfections are to be expected on freshwater pearls.

Really good compared to what Woot often sees, but have you guys ever been to Conceptart.org?
Haha, if some of the artists over at CA were aware they could make a thousand dollars a week I bet we'd see more badass paintings in the fog...
Either you are a huge troll or just plain ignorant. You can't compare the digital art you see in that site to the shirt designs you see here.
First: I am pretty sure 98% of all that digital art is not created in a span of 24 hours, most of them don't even have a deadline. Artist can work on their art for days, weeks and even months before showing it there.
Second: Here, you have to worry about layers, color separation, 6 color limit, halftone workability, shirt color limitation and theme.
Third: Have you seen Patrick's blog? I'm pretty sure his work could easily fit in that website.
(To everybody else) I wish I had Patrick's ability to conceptualize, design, sketch, paint, halftone and submit this type of artwork in a derby every week. Sure, he's not perfect, but come on people, stop with the bashing! He's given us amazing shirts for the past few years. You don't like this particular design for some reason? Perfect, that's your right. But don't try to stone the artist to death because of it.
Since no one stepped up, I shall provide it myself.

Offer a meal
Help IMS to continue a tradition that has flourished in Asia since the time of the Buddha – the offering of meals to spiritual practitioners.
Food is offered to meditators as a simple act of generosity and often celebrates a birthday, honors someone who has died, or commemorates another of life's many milestones.
The table below indicates the average cost to IMS for providing meals.
|Retreat Center
|Forest Refuge
|IMS (Both Centers)
|Light Dinner
|Entire Day
If you or your group of friends and fellow practitioners would like to offer a meal, you can provide us with a brief dedication. This will be inscribed on our Meal Dana board at either or both of our centers for a particular day or meal that you select. Dedications can be anonymous, or acknowledged with your name(s).
Donating a meal is a direct way to support the IMS community. If you have questions, please call 978-355-4378 ext. 230 or email email@example.com.

What? No fired casing for the jurisdictions that require those?
And here is what you get from Beretta when you buy a model 92 series handgun. The pistol comes covered with oil, which you have to clean off before you shoot it. Do as I say, not as I did. <g>

I am also having a problem. I followed the link to the Garmin page. I downloaded and installed the communication feature. The Garmin site says my device is communicating. However, on the RA Import page it says...Detecting device, and Device not connected.
I have tried waiting to see if it just needed time to connect, but even after 15 minutes, still same message.

Julianne Hough made headlines this week over her confession that "one day" she plans to shave her head.
However, don't mourn the blonde's locks just yet - she won't be going the way of Miley's pixie cut anytime soon!
PLAY IT NOW: Josh Duhamel & Julianne Hough's Double Date Night At Safe Haven Premiere
"I've always had this obsession about [shaving my head]," the gorgeous "Safe Haven" star explained to Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Thursday's Access Hollywood Live. "I think it's more to make my hair healthy and just to like, start over. I grew up as a toe-head blonde, but I've had so many chemicals in it now.
Adding, "I'm not doing it, ladies and gentleman - just letting you know, but it's been like, a fantasy to shave my head."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Julianne Hough: From The Ballroom To The Big Screen
Beyond talk of her hair, Julianne said she had a blast working alongside the handsome Josh Duhamel in "Safe Haven" (the big screen adaptation of Nicolas Sparks' best-selling romance novel), but admitted watching their steamy scenes at the screening with boyfriend Ryan Seacrest in tow was a bit awkward.
"I was so uncomfortable. I just got lower and lower in my seat!" she said with a laugh. "I was covering [Ryan's] eyes. [And] my dad was sitting next to Ryan!"
While the men in her life may not have been entirely enthused about watching the dancer/actress heat up with Josh, Julianne's sisters certainly weren't complaining about getting an eyeful of the "Transformers" hunk.

"I leaned over and looked at my sisters and they were like... very excited," she said.
Though the "Dancing with the Stars" champ is now happily off the market (Julianne revealed her "American Idol" host beau will be handling all of the couple's Valentine's Day plans), she wasn't always confident in love.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hollywood's Smokin' Hot Couples
"[I went on my] first date [at] 16. It was a basketball game at my high school and then I went up to the little makeout point and I got so nervous that I threw up!" she recalled.
"Did he kiss you anyway?" Billy asked.
"Yeah, it was actually pretty cute," Julianne replied. "He sat next to me and he was like, 'Well, is it something we can work on?' And then he touched my hand and asked, 'Are you OK?' Then he like, put his arm around me and said, 'Are you OK now?' I'm like, 'Yeah.' Then he kissed me on the cheek - 'Are you OK?' 'Yeah, I'm OK.'
"So, it was kind of a smooth move," she added.

By Declan Taylor
Jayne Ludlow will sorely miss the recently-departed Arsenal Ladies stars but is excited by the "new era" underway at the Club.
Ludlow skippered Vic Akers' side to their first silverware of the season last week with an explosive 5-0 victory against Doncaster Rovers Belles at Glanford Park.
Of course the evening was punctuated by the departures of Kelly Smith and Alex Scott, who along with the already departed Karen Carney, will join the Women's Professional Soccer league in the States that kicks off in April.
However, the Welsh midfielder has been impressed with the burgeoning talent on show among Arsenal's young Ladies and is ready to fight for her place in the new-look Gunners' engine room.
"We're talking about three of the best players in the country so any team who says they wouldn't miss them are lying," she told Arsenal.com. "We still have a great team spirit and some good youngsters so we're looking forward to a new era in a way.
"We're friends as well team mates and I think people will be missed on a personal level as well as a playing one because the girls who are leaving us have been around for longer than a decade I think.
"It is a bit of a new era coming. It's not in anyway daunting for us and I think it's quite exciting for the youngsters coming through. There are places up for grabs and it's interesting to see which girls come to the fore and perform.
"We've got a lot of good midfielders coming through which puts a bit of pressure on me but it's exciting at the same time. There are different types of players and technically these days the girls are much better.
"People will start hearing new names and hopefully their talent will be appreciated. I have every confidence they can help us push on for titles and cups."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

John Harrigan: An old-fashioned winter, and the possums come on
JOHN HARRIGAN | March 15. 2014 9:12PM
Possible possums? You bet. They are considered a southern animal, but possums have been moving north during the warming trend, just like ticks, and even in this, one of the true old-fashioned winters, they've showed up in previously unknown places.
When the famed Balsams Grand Resort Hotel shut down three years ago, all of its contents, from beds to chairs to crockery, were auctioned off. This was a traumatic event for those who worked there, lived there, had family there, or just plain loved the place - and still do.
As a guy who loves to see evidence of otters on ice-shelves along patches of open water in rivers, I've been concerned about what looks to me like a drastic drop in evidence that otters are still here in healthy numbers.
After the big storm ended Thursday, seeing a clear sky just as darkness enveloped the land, I turned off all the lights in house, shop and barns before I trudged out to add the night's final pieces to keep the outdoor furnace humming along through the night.
The starlight was overwhelming, physically and mentally, providing enough illumination bouncing off the snow to make everything, after my eyes and mind had adjusted, perfectly clear. Well, in the latter case, not even close.

After an extensive search I have finally found a base gun to make original blaster carbines for my movie "The Mandalorian Wars". This means that I don't need to use dozens of EE-3's! However, I need help to cast the new carbine up.
As they're for a movie they need to be fairly robust but I really do not know how to go about casting them.
Also which would be better, Rubber or Resin? (I've done neither so any advice welcome)

I was watching Fowl Life the other night on the sportsman channel and I saw those guys pulling a Jon boat with side wall extensions on it for a decoy sled.
If the Jon boat could withstand the abuse of being drug through a field, I think it would be a great idea. Gut out the inside of the boat, create sidewall extensions to put on the side of the boat to stack additional decoys inside it.
What are your thoughts on this idea?

This is Our DemocracyThis is our democracy. Be it through knocking on doors and
making phone calls for political campaigns, working to fix
community problems, stepping up to fill a leadership void, or
creating a not-for-profit organization to help make our country
just a little bit better - we each have talents to put to use. Too
often, our society fails to foster this multitude of talents.
Therefore, I would pose this question to the study group: How can
we do better to foster these talents and ensure that civic
participation and engagement is encouraged? Only through
sufficiently answering this question will our democracy remain
healthy and thriving, and can we start to repair the damage that's
already been done.

Heating your home efficiently
25 May 2013 , 8:22 AM by Rob Minshull
Whilst we live in the year-round Sunshine State, many of us will have pulled out an extra blanket or doona out this past week.
The cold weather has arrived and many of our homes are simply not built for the relatively short winter.
So how do you heat your house cheaply and easily? And what is the most efficient way to heat your house?

Interesting discussion about energy efficiency. I never thought of using 'thick curtains' as a way to further insulate...great idea and outside the square! Some really good points, I also like the door gap idea.

As hordes of refugees and looters pour out of the cities, a small group of friends living in the Midwest desperately try to make their way to a safe-haven ranch in northern Idaho. The journey requires all their skill and training since communication, commerce, transportation and law enforcement have all disappeared. Once at the ranch, the group fends off vicious attacks from outsiders and then looks to join other groups that are trying to restore true Constitutional law to the country.
Patriots is a thrilling narrative depicting fictional characters using authentic survivalist techniques to endure the collapse of American civilization. Listening to this compelling, fast-paced novel could one day mean the difference between life and death.
©2009 James Wesley Rawles; (P)2009 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Thought provoking for preppers"
This book does not focus on getting to know characters trying to survive. It is all about the technical aspects of items needed in an economic collapse and warfare tatics. If you are making a prepper list then this book is for you. If you are looking for a book to draw you into a story then you might want to keep looking.
Due to being on the road hours most days, I'm an avid Audible fan! I live vicariously through the stories as the miles pass.
"Good Info, poor story"
While I am somewhat like minded with some of the themes of the book, I think the info in the book would have been just as well printed as lists and instructions. The story line was very disjointed (in my opinion) and the characters were not very well developed. Although I am much a supporter of "bearing arms", the ENDLESS writing on guns, parts, ammo in every situation was just too much. If I had wanted a gun manual, I would have purchased one. As some reviewers have noted, this book really seems like an instruction manual with some people thrown in so it can be sold as a novel. I do applaud the author for all the information he is trying to share, but a prepper manual would have been cheaper, faster, and more use.
"Get out of Dodge Account of "The Group""
Patriots (A novel of survival in the coming collapse) is is about a group of survivalists ("The Group") who plan ahead to meet at a well-stocked retreat in Idaho in the event of some event or disaster which causes the US government to fail. By the time they make the decision to Get Out of Dodge, money is worthless, gas is unavailable, food distribution has shut down and outlaw gangs rule. The military is nowhere to be found, nor are the police. The Group, later named the Northwest Militia, meets at their Idaho retreat and each relay their own stories of what it took for them to get there. While this is a novel, this book is written to be instructional in nature and offers many details for people who want to plan their future retreats. It is quite lengthy (3 7 hour parts) and every encounter is very detailed. Someone with an interest in different types of guns/ammo and survivalist living would enjoy this book. This book is somewhat instructional on how to live frugally and off the land. The Group started out with basic food supplies (unconstituted peanut butter, wheat flour, dried meat, so on) and other than hunting and gardening and minimal bartering lived off their initial stockpile for several years. While this book could be dry at times I still thought it was a good listen all in all.
"Fair at best. Choose your reason before you buy."
This is book is not a good choice if you are looking for an action novel. If you are interested in ideas for how to survive and End Of Days scenario, it is OK. The authors other book, How to Survive the End of the World As We Know It, Is a far better choice. Rawles may be a good survivalist, and manual writer, a novelist he is not. It does drag a bit....
"A Survivalist How-To Manual told as a story"
I love apocalyptic fiction, and I found this book to be an interesting off-shoot of that genre. It's all post apocalypse - after a complete economic collapse and complete breakdown of law and order. But the cause of the collapse is not really relevant, it could have happened for any reason. The book is quite literally a survivalist's how-to manual with copious detail as to supplies, weapons (mostly guns!) planning, logistics, storage, preparation, and all things strategic and tactical. It is not a great literary work, nor does it claim to be. There is very little character development, and the plot is a straight-forward telling of the sequence of events, with a few flashbacks in the form of characters simply relaying their own experiences after the collapse. There a LOT of gun talk. Gun enthusiasts will like it, I presume. The narrator is good, speaks slowly and clearly, but I give only four stars because he reads all the characters in such similar voices that they all sound the same. Since the characters aren't especially well-developed, and therefore similar to begin with, the voice in which they are read doesn't really make a difference. If you like end-of-civilization stories and want to know what it will be like, read this book. If you want to know why you'll be one of the first to die, read this book!
"Frightening scenario for the future of the US"
Patriots is a political novel that promotes an agenda of states' rights populism, right wing Christianity, pro-Second Amendment rights, anti-UN views, and survivalism that is cast in the near future amidst a financial collapse, the result of overwhelming national debt, hyperinflation, and a stock market crash.
This novel focuses on many technical and paramilitary topics that may not be enjoyable reading for many – even if they share the author's politics. Perhaps there is no way to cover such topics in an "enjoyable" manner and that the point of this book is exactly that – life in a post-collapse America, reduced to a barter economy with massive civil unrest, will be difficult, reduced to a struggle to survive.
The author avoids the "UN helicopter" paranoia found in some contemporary literature of a similar genre and uses the format of a novel, tracing the lives of characters and their families as a vehicle to present its political message. However, if you do not have an interest in paramilitary subjects or don't enjoy extended discussions of firearms, radio communications, survivalist medicine and other issues, which comprise a large portion of the dialog between the characters; then you may wish to use your Audible credits elsewhere.
Patriots references many useful materials on a wide variety of survivalist topics that can be used for further "study" if the reader is so inclined. In the print version these references may be easier to access.
The story line is entertaining with good, but predictable, characters that are used to deliver the political message. The author presents a frightening, but believable, scenario for the future. It should be well received by many who are in tune with its message, but unfortunately will most likely be dismissed by those who could benefit most from it – those who are in denial about the issues facing our nation and a "head in the sand" attitude that such a scenario as described in Patriots "could never happen here."
"Is it a story or a how to book..........you decide"
Definitely I already have
I don't know about the edge of my seat, but it was a very good listen.
It was adequate, thats about it
This is a good piece of fiction based upon reality. It needs to be heeded and acted upon to insure it does not actually happen.
Maybe a bit too much detail in some areas.
"Accidentally Good"
This is a fascinating book, but not a good novel. It is worth reading for two reasons.
(1) This book is, first, a survivalist's handbook disguised (the disguise is very thin) as fiction. Thus it's obviously going to be bad fiction, but if you think of the book as a series of scenarios which the author explores from a survivalist point of view, it's really quite good. He's obviously been thinking about this for quite some time. (The author runs a survivalist blog.) If, like me, you ever wonder what you'd do if your civilization collapsed (they do that, after all) this book is interesting, and it's easier to read than a guide.
(2) The book is also an insight into the way some Americans see the world. And that too is interesting. The book contains long, rambling sections where the author attacks the US government. (Since this is supposed to be a novel, the good guys serve as mouthpieces for the author's views.)
And in general, this book is an unselfconscious revenge-on-society fantasy, set in a world where governments are bad, guns are good, but automatic ones are best, the constitution is good, gun licenses are bad, gun-seller licenses are bad, driver's licenses are bad (!), the Oklahoma bombing was a set-up, and so on, and on, and on. I've never truly understood the people (like the author) who want to see it all burn. This book helps.
"better than watching paint dry"
the first part of this book i thought was way to preachy , and anti-government. i gave it a chance and the last two parts won me over . its a very good book if you like technical type writings , it goes super deep in some places .
Brian is an avid reader. He is interested in great stories and human behavior. His job is as a behavioral specialist in public schools.
"Interesting Story. Well worth the read."
I do have a few problems with the story. The author writes from a very narrow prospective. Near the end of the book he opens up some more, but the correlation of say cannibalism with communism as an example is kind of narrow minded and contrived. I don't like communism and I felt that was a little absurd.
There were points were the book got really technical, but based off of my understanding, it is a survival manual written in the from of a novel so the author won't get in trouble for teaching those things.
The over all plot was interesting enough and I do not regret getting the book. It is definitely worth the read and I would recommend it to others. I am interested to see what his other books are like.
It have me a lot of great food for thought. I am not a hard core survivalist by any means, but I do have emergency preparations in the event of natural disaster. Listening to this book helped me to prioritize my gear. Again, well worth the read and the credit for the book.

I worked at this company many years ago as a co-op, so I know the cafeteria is right inside the door I am entering at, plus there is a sit-down service style cafe where managers take lunch meetings. If, on the off chance, that this ends up talking over lunch, what kind of food should I eat? Is a simple sandwich okay? How about if they have a salad bar and make a small salad? Lord I hope it is not! I totally cannot eat and talk! Plus this complex is HUGE, and I know the buildings I will be escorted to for next interview, then next, then 4th. Its a LOT of walking just between buildings! What the heck do you talk about during all the walking, whether it be the manager or someone sent to pick me up? I suck at small talk!

im kind of confused on why it is such a big deal if a trader is asking you to buy a blind box for the vinyl that you want... In the end yes they could possibly get a chaser or varient but thats a very unlikly chance (unless you are really good at picking them) IMO it is easier just to buy a 10-12 dollar blind box and have the vinyl i want locked in, instead of having to buy the same series over 20 twenty times and still not getting the one i want. so in the end you could either spend about maybe 200 dollars buying 20 different blind boxes in hopes for the one that you want, or you could just walk into d street buy one for about 10-12 (if you have an AP) and be done with it, you dont have to spend anymore money on that series hoping for the one that you want because now you have it. I mean if the blind box for a vinyl trade bugs you soo much why do you still go down to d street and try to trade with them? What i dont understand when i read some of these mw post about d street trades is that it seems like they have never tried to actually talk to the people like humans instead they just assume they are all sharks and are wanting to screw them over. Maybe people should try to get to know some of them more and they will realize its not like that at all. I agree with MickeyMax, its the chances you take in buying the blind box for the other trader.

A little update - The jet pack patterns are working well. The Betas are building their packs, and the couple I've seen are turning out great.
My email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I ALSO have complete patterns for all the rest of the armor, but I have not written any tutorials, and the gauntlets are much more complex than the jet pack in terms of the number of pieces needed. Those will be for some time in the future, but I won't send them out until I'm confident they're useable.
edit: People who already have patterns can email me if they need an updated version of the tutorial, with the Stubby modifications included now. The patterns are the same, it's just an email of the newer tutorial version that would be useful for you. Thanks to malcfett for his excellent Beta-ing.

Home decorating with vintage finds
"I love that when friends visit our home, they immediately get a sense of who we are—from pillows on the couch to the collections on the bookshelves," Meg Mateo Ilasco says of the interior of her midcentury bungalow that was once devoid of personality.
Meg and her husband, Marvin, craved a home that reflected who they are—a designer and a scientist, both with Filipino heritage and an affinity for bold color. So, in a stroke of thrift and genius, Meg and Marvin raided their parents' attics to uncover hidden treasures.
See how they mixed these family finds with their own upbeat style.

Beliefs and Attitudes
Emotions and Thinking
When it comes to teaching students to think, teachers face two big challenges. The first is to provide students with instruction and practice in the right kinds of skills. The second, a much more difficult task, is to persuade and inspire them to use those skills appropriately in school and in their daily lives.
The attitudes and beliefs that are conductive to good thinking have been described in a variety of ways. Here, we will explore three of these perspectives: Costa and Kallick's Habits of Mind, Langer's theory of "mindfulness," and the dispositions developed by Tishman and her colleagues.
Costa and Kallicks's Habits of Mind >
Arthur Costa and Bena Kallick (2000) have developed a framework for thinking about what motivates people to behave "intelligently when confronted with problems" (p. 80). They have come up with five characteristics of people who use Habits of Mind, as well as sixteen Habits of Mind that are essential to thinking.
Mindfulness >
Ellen Langer (1989) used the term "mindfulness" to describe an approach to life through which people carefully use all the information and skills at their disposal when confronted with problems. The characteristics of being mindful are the "creation of new categories, openness to new information, and awareness of more than one perspective" (p. 62).
Teaching Beliefs and Attitudes >
Described as "abiding intellectual traits" (Tishman, 2000, 73), Thinking Dispositions incorporate the inclination to think critically, a sensitivity to events in which thinking is required, and the ability to perform necessary thinking skills and strategies. Although similar to Habits of Mind, Thinking Dispositions are more focused on intellectual attitudes and beliefs. These dispositions can be explicitly taught.

Deadline: Today 28th, May at 1pm UAE time.
* Please make sure that the regional date and time settings on your computer is correct. It is the responsibility of the applicant to submit before the DEADLINE specified in the call document.
The National Research Foundation (NRF) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) advances the UAE national research agenda by awarding grants for research on a competitive basis in those fields of endeavor that will improve the quality of life of the citizens of UAE or contribute to the advancement of the UAE as a knowledge-based society.
The NRF recognizes that mobility of researchers and freedom of research are essential, as research thrives in dynamic environments and new concepts and products arise from the exchange of ideas and the pooling of great minds.
Researchers have been on the move since Ancient times. During the Middle Ages, e.g. the great advancements in astronomy, medicine and mathematics in the Arab World were distributed across Europe via Al Andalus. Since these first steps, mobility of researchers, thinkers and innovators has allowed the circulation of ideas, the exchange of concepts and the dissemination of techniques.
Mobility of researchers has been of high importance in previous times and is crucial today. The grand challenges that our knowledge-based society is facing can only be achieved by new ideas, knowledge and techniques brought forward by highly trained researchers embedded in international networks of collaborators. Thus, mobility of researchers needs to be encouraged, structured and sustained.
