In 55 days, the nation faces a fiscal challenge unlike any other - a crisis entirely of our leaders' own making.
November 7, 2012
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Diane Lim Rogers, an economist at the Concord Coalition, a nonpartisan organization that focuses on fiscal issues, says the most likely outcome is an extension that sets the stage for a serious debate over taxes, spending and entitlement programs in 2013.
"The most likely outcome is that we don't go over the cliff when we are scheduled to go over the cliff," she told us in an interview on our weekly video segment, "Fourth & State." "I think the hope would be that we don't kick the can very far down the road. And at the same, as we're kicking the can, we set up a better process to make sure we don't make the same excuses the next time the can lands."
Like us, Rogers is concerned that Republicans are setting the revenue bar too low.

Re: Liveaboard Family Looking for a Miracle
northoceanbeach I think that's really insensitive and short-sighted of you :-(.
Fact of the matter is, there is more water on this planet than land, so cheap housing of the future may well be on the water, as in the case with seasteading.
Also if you didn't have a home, wouldn't you like to have one? If it happens to be in a new location, of a different type than you expect, wouldn't you still like to be allowed to do so? Not everyone does things for the same reasons.
If we have more boaters, it doesn't matter how they got there, they'll learn to love it, or find another way.
If there are more customers there shall always be more spaces available.
We can make floating marina's if there is the market for it.
So the more customers, the merrier.
If you want to only be surrounded by pricy people that only do boating recreationally, then find a super expensive marina, and I'm sure you'll find others like yourself.
Re: Liveaboard Family Looking for a Miracle
I'd also like to add that I don't encourage marinas to become homeless camps. There are few enough spaces available ideally they should go to people that want a boat to sail as well as live on(or just sail) and not a bunch of people squatting in delapidated boats.
I'm just saying it can be cheaper, but not that it's a homeless camp. They should be nice places or people that love the sea and sailing

But I think what some of the others are saying is that if you just threw two random people out there who didn't know a single thing about anything, and you said have at it, one lives on land, the other one lives on water, it is much more inexpensive in all ways (time, energy, money, learning curve, etc ...) to live on land than it is on water. You don't drown on land, your cardboard box in the park doesn't sink destroying the possessions you have, etc, you can just walk from one place to another on land but on the water you need a dinghy.
It is less expensive for YOU to live on the water because over time you have become optimized through your continuous investment of time and energy to be extremely efficient at living on the water, YOU can spend 40$us to install your own rigging, because YOU tager are THE MAN and you ROCK! But had you taken a different course in life, you could have spent that same time and energy learning how to do roofing, putting up dry wall, and all the rest on a house just as easily (I suspect you probably know how to do that too, but pretend you weren't so gifted and see it from another point of view). Learning to find a free boat, anchoring it, using a dinghy, sustaining yourself, etc, yes it can all be free, but is it easier and less expensive than going to live with your parents ?
I live on a boat for three years in Honolulu and it is far cheaper than living on land. We're talking about a family hats on the verge of homelessness here. They don't have to do the maintenance to make the boat cross the ocean, they just need it not to sink. You can totally buy a boat for $3000 and
Live in it with zero maintenance for years. You may can't take it out but it won't sink. I've seen lots of people do it.
In the sf bay area too. You can either spend $1200 for a studio, or buy a POS boat and at least not be homeless .
I will say that his is not what I did.
Re: Liveaboard Family Looking for a Miracle
I'm sure your intentions are good and sincere but the original post from Tiaraswake was made in June of 2009. This thread keeps getting resurrected for some reason.
I wouldn't expect a reply if I were you.
Take care,
Re: Liveaboard Family Looking for a Miracle
David....Thanks so much, I totally agree with your comment "I think you are looking for a boat/home and not a bunch of free advice/opinions" Glad you had some concrete help. I too would like to help. I'm in South Carolina, but if you (Tiaraswake) will e-mail me. I'll try to help with some cash. Maybe between the two of us, we can at least buy you some time. Don't get excited, I'm certainly not rich, I work everyday for everything I get, but your story touched my heart, and I want to help. God Bless you and your family, you will be in my prayers. I had a very unfortunate health issue that arose last year, and the outpouring of support i received, both from friends and family but also total strangers, truly saved my life. I feel compelled to help....keep your chin up, things will get better!!!

I just wasted an hour of my life reading all the garbage on this thread to get to the good stuff. SO happy to see there are some good Samaritans in the bunch. Now I am curious, does anyone know if she got a boat, got help, or not?? I am hoping for a happy outcome to this story.
My family and I also live aboard, er I mean are extended cruisers. we're in Hampton,VA right now and will be heading up the chesapake as soon as weather permits( hopefully in a day or two).
I can relate to the situation of the family in need as we also were affected by the economy an the twists and turns life throws at you.
I was luckier than some as I kind of saw it coming and was able to make adjustments and have actually embraced the all cash no credit existence. And we really appreciate that ,above all else, we are together, doing what many only dream of. for that I feel like a millionaire !!
Of course like all things it's not always easy and you must be quite resourceful, and frugal. but here we are !
I'm very interested to learn if this family is able to accept the boat offer as I would like to meet them and see if there is any way I could assist them in making the repairs the boat will need. As I'm cash poor but rich in boat repair skills in wood,metal,fiberglass,welding,electrical,sail and canvas repair etc. etc.
I also am extremely lucky at finding great used stuff and repairing it for use aboard.
to date I have aquired most of the creature comforts for us, for little or often times for free, just by being able to repair them when they were cast off by more .... ah.... fortunate sailors who could afford to upgrade and were not interested in repaired or older equipment.
So shoot me a PM and maybe I can help.
live the dash, it's all you'll ever have.
|good for you davebkanelavie. I applaud you for showing the best side of human nature to a woman who put pride aside and asked for help AND TRUSTED THAT people like you do STILL EXIST. and for all of you that chided her maybe you missed the part about her HOUSE IS SINKING!
|I applaude DK for both his wisdom and his desire to help despite the dearth of "give -it-up" responses. Sometimes a family, and that is the key these days, is a stronger unit doing what they do together rather than abandoning the dream that is giving them a purpose and the hope to prevail in bad times. I pray for the family in need and should I find them in Md. while I am working on my dream, I would happily lend a hand. I'm in Deale Md. Best wishes, Whitbydave. Posrt a reply with a location, maybe there in May. God Bless!

KODAK i3000 Series Scanners Raise the Bar on Productivity for Desktop Capture with Powerful Features and Compact Size
The all-new KODAK i3000 Series Scanners redefine business productivity for desktop document capture with ease of use that harnesses the power and performance once reserved for scanning environments with dedicated operators. A compact and unique design optimizes the KODAK i3200 Scanner and KODAK i3400 Scanner for use in any office environment with business processes that require robust data extraction from paper documents.
"With a small footprint of just 17″ x 15″, these compact A3 desktop scanners pack a powerful punch that delivers greater productivity for any desktop user," said Budd Webster, Business Director for Scanners and Document Imaging Category Management. "Affordable and capable, the i3000 Series Scanners help businesses gain control over manual, paper-based processes and integrate them into existing workflows that improve the way professionals capture, share and distribute information within their organization."
User functionality is supported by a graphic user panel that displays messages that relate to job name or job status. Businesses may customize these messages to request additional action related to scanned documents. Software integrators and providers can also use the intuitive feature to simplify how their application works with the scanners by displaying job shortcuts assigned to preconfigured settings such as color, file type and file destination. The i3200 Scanner and i3400 Scanner are compatible with TWAIN, ISIS and Linux-based applications for easy setup and integration into existing scanning programs.
"Growing demand to convert paper to digital is expanding beyond the traditional integration into business processes to include line of business," said Ron Glaz, Research Director, IDC. "IDC believes that Kodak's recently introduced scanners are well positioned to capture these opportunities."
The i3000 Series Scanners (http://youtu.be/Ah9_5s_orhg) combine heavy-duty document handling with advanced image enhancement capabilities through Kodak's Perfect Page technology, which makes them some of the most productive offerings in their class. The i3000 Series Scanners consistently produce high-resolution images from color, black-and-white, simplex or duplex scans processed at 200 or 300 dots per inch (dpi) at throughput speeds of up to 80 pages per minute (ppm). Equipped with a 250-sheet feeder/elevator, the i3200 and i3400 each handle documents from a reliable paper transport that optimally positions documents for maximum image clarity as they are captured by the scanners' imaging cameras. Dual LED illumination also aids in providing image clarity and color stability as well as quick scanning starts.
Users also benefit from the versatility of two paper path options. The i3000 Series offer a traditional front exit or an optional rear exit on the back of the scanner. This functional choice gives users the flexibility to select the best method of paper transport according to a document's length and thickness. The i3200 Scanner and the i3400 Scanner also support both the KODAK Legal Size Flatbed Accessory and the KODAK A3 Size Flatbed Accessory to handle additional media options. The i3000 Series Scanners can also attach to a post-scan rear-side imprinter.
The i3000 Series Scanners include Kodak's Intelligent Document Protection feature, which extends the paper jam protection provided from Kodak's Ultrasonic Multi-Feed detection. The new capability helps protect documents from physical damage by automatically pausing the paper transport and allowing the user to take appropriate action if the scanner detects the start of damage to a document.
Kodak offers a portfolio of protection plans that help to maintain the performance of the scanners for content management environments and other priority business workflows. KODAK Essential Productivity Services and KODAK Advanced Proficiency Services help businesses protect their investment and generate added value from enhancements in operational efficiencies.

Earn from It
Get It Recorded by Somebody
Get it recorded by somebody
Both songwriters and composers earn money if their compositions are recorded by somebody else, and in the case of the pop world, often make more money than the bands performing the songs. This is because they receive performance and mechanical royalties, as well as money from any versions recorded by other acts. In some cases, a relatively unknown songwriter can earn more money from a famous band covering a song, than they ever did through their own recordings. If a composer's piece is recorded by an orchestra and released on CD, then the same type of royalties will apply.

Microsoft vs. DOJ
June 24, 1998
This has been a big week for the folks in Redmond, Wash. Not only does Microsoft's Windows 98 PC operating system finally go on sale (remember when it was called Windows 97?), but the software giant also won a major legal victory. Earlier this week a federal appeals court lifted an injunction from a lower court that had restricted sales of Microsoft's Windows 95 operating system that included its Internet Explorer browser. Although this finally settles an earlier case, the company still faces antitrust charges from the Justice Department. Microsoft has won the battle, but the war is far from over.
For this collection, we've asked four of our writers to share their conflicting opinions on Microsoft and the antitrust issue. After reading these thoughts, you'll surely have some of your own that you'll want to share. We've got the perfect place for you to discuss them: the Microsoft message board

I hunt a lake for puddlers where the decoys sit in a minimum of 8 ft. of water. Wrapping 10 to 12 feet of decoy cord and anchor on a keel is time consuming and a real pain.
I understand using main line rigs for divers where the water is way deep, but would there be any time savings/added ease by running a rig on this lake instead of separate cords and anchors? I don't want to just swap one chore for another.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger will NOT ask Jack Wilshere to fill Alex Song's boots on Tuesday night.
The Cameroon international has been ruled out of the second leg of Arsenal's Champions League tie with Barcelona after failing to shrug off a knee problem, leaving Wenger with a substantial gap to fill as his team defends a slender 2-1 advantage in the Nou Camp.
Song has emerged as a powerful defensive force in the past two years, curbing his own attacking instincts to offer protection to the back four. Wilshere is arguably the most versatile midfielder at Wenger's disposal but he is not a candidate to replace Song.
"[That role is suited] more to Diaby or Denilson," said Wenger. "We will not want to keep Wilshere in a purely defensive role. [How to replace Song] is one of the things to sort out."
Denilson started the 0-0 draw with Sunderland on Saturday and was criticised by some sections of the Emirates crowd before he was replaced by Marouane Chamakh with 22 minutes left. Wenger admits the Brazilian was below-par but insists he has much to offer.
"It wasn't one of his best performances but I feel that Deni doesn't get the credit he deserves and he always works hard for the team," said the manager.
"It was difficult for the midfielders on Saturday because they marked us very tight and we only found space in the last 20 minutes. He had given a lot."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Welcome to Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture, our MatchDay Show guest and an Arsenal blogger will have their say on the game.
Arsenal took on Bradford City in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck and Jim of East Lower.
Well, I did worry about the game going to a penalty shoot-out. Bradford were absolutely terrific but Arsenal really should have had enough to win this game. Fielding a near full-strength side was a statement of intent by Arsène Wenger, but he will have been shocked by the display. The early goal seemed to shake them, and against a compact and organised home side they struggled to fashion chances until Thomas Vermaelen's late equaliser. The game was there to be won in extra-time, but Matt Duke made a series of fine saves to keep Bradford in it. And once it goes to penalties, it really is a lottery - but one Bradford seem to win on a consistent basis! A very disappointing night and a real opportunity missed.
This is another big test of Arsenal's character. They will be major favourites to progress through to the Capital One Cup semi-finals, but I expect Bradford to be tricky opponents. Phil Parkinson's side may be in League Two, but they are unbeaten in five games and will be bang up for this one. Backed by a fervant home crowd, they will try to unsettle their Premier League opponents and Arsène Wenger's side must keep their cool and play to their strengths. If they manage to do that, it should be enough. But they certainly don't want it to go to penalties - Bradford have won their last seven shoot-outs!
Where to start? Firstly, congratulations to Bradford who fought like bantams, hustled all night and defended superbly. They have been through the lows since relegation from the Premier League, and will have good cause to believe that that they are now back on the way up. For Arsenal though, this kind of result adds fuel to the fire of those who consider us to be heading in the opposite direction. We were worryingly toothless, only mustering meaningful shots on goal late in the game, and never truly looked like winning a match that we really should have bossed. The side is in a rut and our inconsistency is proving impossible to shake. The post-mortem will be uncomfortable. Overall, a night to forget.
There's nothing quite like a win to lift the mood, both for the fans and for the players, but now the trick is to win again and to keep on winning. It sounds easy on paper but this season that kind of consistency has been hard to find where it matters most – on the pitch. This game is a good opportunity not only to build on Saturday's three points but to regain some fluency and build up confidence. And lest we forget, it's also a great chance to edge a step closer to Wembley. The League Cup might feature low-ish on the list of priorities, but you can't pick and choose where success comes from and on that basis we should go for it 100 per cent.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the steps on getting this set up; worked in Eden easily. A few things that I'm wondering though:
In Dharma with the old instructions I used to follow, package, keymap, etc, the right bumper button would bring up a context menu in the main interface. There's a lot of other button functionality that is missing as well. After looking around, it seems like the keymap I was using before had a lot of button mapping that was dependent on where you were in XBMC. By comparison, /usr/share/doc/xboxdrv/examples/xbmc.xboxdrv is very small (I assume this is a keymap - correct me if i'm wrong). Is it possible to just point the .sh file to the old keymap, or have the variables / expected syntax changed?
Old keymap:
xbmc.xboxdrv (presumably the new keymap):

xbmc.xboxdrv is not a new keymap and should not be changed. It is, as I understand it, what maps the signals received from the remote to known keystrokes (or buttons).
Where your "old" keymap is what xbmc uses to determine what button does what. Basically the controller to xbmc path maps like this:
I haven't looked at this as I don't use the controller to navigate XBMC, but what you need to look at is Keyboard.xml, and creating your own custom version of it, or figuring out why the current version doesn't do what you expect it to like the old one did.
Perhaps it has been changed a lot since Dharma and you're not using the new Eden xml? You should make sure you're not using the old version first.

Is this the one that's being used? If not, how do I tell the driver (or XBMC) to use this one?

FYI, I just figured out (or re-figured out actually) how to enable multi-controller support so you can have 4 controllers hooked up to your wireless dongle. My xboxdrv.sh file looks like this:
Now the one thing I can't figure out is that the controller seem to remember their 'number'. In other words, one controller will always light up the top left, the other will always light up the top right, etc. In the past, it lit up the top right if it was the first controller you turned on. I think it would be preferable if it still worked that way. Maybe I'll ping grumbel and see if he knows why.
EDIT: Actually, it seems like the light situation is a little more random. I've seen one controller light up on the top left, top right, and bottom left so far. I guess I can deal with this, but it's a little odd.

Had a few issues getting the above instructions to work, basically josephdyland's xboxdrv.sh when added to /etc/rc.local didn't appear to start soon enough for me - would only work if I restarted XBMC once my system had booted.
Next I tried draggy's init script, which initially didn't work either. Turns out that the script requires the screen command and my XBMCbuntu install didn't have the screen command installed, so
apt-get install screen
resolved my issue.

Hi Im trying to follow this guide to set up my xbox 360 wireless controller. Im at the step where im supposed to Create a bash script that will start on system startup in a few steps.
touch ~xbmc/xboxdrv.sh
This is not working, I get "can not touch `~xbmc/xboxdrv.sh : No such file or directory..
Would the code be different since Im on xbmcbuntu and this guide is ment for xbmc live? Or, what else do I do wrong?

~xbmc/xboxdrv.sh assumes that xbmc is the user that you use to run xbmc with. If you use a different user, change it to "~<user>/xboxdrv.sh" This also effects the last step "/home/xbmc/xboxdrv.sh" should be "/home/<user>/xboxdrv.sh"

Just a quick question on this.
If I wanted to just use my wired xbox360 controller to control emulators using advanced launcher and not xbmc at all do I just follow the install instructions installing the driver and start up but remove the step to map to the keymap?
So my xboxdrv.sh script would look like this?

No, you want to keep your script the same. You'll need to remove your keymap (joystick.Microsoft.Xbox.360.Controller.xml) IF you want to go down that route. Still, I think you might find that navigating around XBMC with the controller is nice, especially in large folders. If I recall, advanced launcher has a specific option for automatically suspending XBMC while in an emulator. Other tutorials I've seen make a script for killing XBMC and resuming it seemless when entering/exiting an emulator.

Actually, this has been a problem with XBOX360 controllers since at least Dharma:
"PPS - KNOWN BUG : DVD Menus do not appear to work properly with this setup, UNLESS you hit left shoulder button first to bring up the "now playing" on screen display. LEAVE THE DISPLAY UP and you can navigate through menus, but if you drop the display you appear to lose control again."
- from this old thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=57304
Not sure if that workaround works anymore, but it's proof that it's a long-standing issue. For what it's worth, it does make sense why this issue happens. There's probably no special keymapping for DVD menus when compared to DVD playback.

I'm using this xboxdrv method with xbox 360 wireless controller and following fresh install of
Everything seems to work perfectly with the provided instructions with one exception.
The triggers don't work properly
1. they don't work at all when scrolling through menus
2. Trying to fast forward/rewind in movies and music. Once the left or right trigger pressed never goes back to play and stays stuck on FF/RW (if i pull it hard it goes to 32x, upon release it drops down to 8x. - but never back to play. Pressing the trigger in the opposite direction does the same thing, but in reverse and never goes back to play)
i suspect i need to alter either the deadzone or the filter settings. (is this correct?)
at the bottom of the /usr/share/doc/xboxdrv/examples/xbmc.xboxdrv file i noticed the below code
# The resp filter moves the neutral position to zero to work around a
# bug in XBMC, that causes bogus events when neutral position is
# elsewhere. It loses a bit of precision in the trigger as result, but
# that isn't noticable.
I suspect modifying these may be able to resolve my trigger issues?
the manual reads
resp, response:VALUES:...
The response curve filter allows you to completely change the
way an axis reacts. The filter takes a list of VALUES that are
then linearly interpolated and spread across the full range of
the axis. An example would look like this:
xboxdrv \
--ui-axismap x1^resp:-32768:-4000:0:4000:32767
Here the X1 axis is manipulated so that it will have a lower
sensitivity in the center and a higher one on the outside.

@Draggy - there's an error in your init script
if [ -z "$(lsmod | grep uinputl)" ]; then
It's looking for uinputl not uinput - this causes that if statement to always be true

The rifle range I go to does not allowed rapid firing semi auto rifles, but does allow rapid firing handguns. I really don't get any negative reactions except from the guys who try and act like they are professional teachers and then end up trying to fire the gun with the safty still on. Those type of guys bug me, but as long as they aren't interferring with my shooting, then I couldn't care less what they think.
I do love the challenge involved in rapid firing because it's not hard to fire a semi auto handgun at almost full auto speeds, but like Bob Wright said, accuracy is where the challenge is. When I am shooting a handgun normally, I shoot from 10 yards away, but when rapid firing I do it from like 5 yards. I'm hitting in the black section of my target so that's all that matters. I'm not just making a "brass shower". Although I have been known to do that on occasions. Heck, I payed for the ammo so I should be able to shoot it as fast as I want. :wink: :-D

text: Here's how out of the blue Stuckey's shooting was. He's played 76 games in his NBA career. In the first 75 of those, he has made five 3-pointers. In his 76th game, he made four. Plus, I think he made 2 more J's outside the free throw line. He didn't force anything inside, but he still got in the lane a few times, made some point-blank shots and got fouled in the act 4 times. + 8 assists and 3 steals. Very CB-like. It is now 7 out of his last 8 games that Stuck has scored in double digits. He has shot 53% over this stretch. 7.25 assists per game as well. In last night's game, I also thought he showed a nice balance between actively looking for his teammates and choosing his spots to be aggressive. Earlier in the year, I felt like he had 2 modes and he was telegraphing which one he was in. Turnovers and charges resulted. It is too bad that we can't play 6 on 6, because I liked how Rip and AI were moving constantly. Stuck/ AI/ Rip/ Tay/ Amir/ Sheed would be a great starting lineup.

Annette, at least this way, the decisions and direction you are going is from your own experience. Making decisions from your experience is much more rewarding (and yes, can be alot of work), but at least your not making decisions b/c some "said so". Keeping bees naturally can take more work (beeKEEPING), learning and knowledge it seems, but it has many rewards.Wish I had gone with all mediums and foundationless last year. I'm headed that direction now. off topic: found my first wax moths couple of days ago. (reduced size of colony, combined with queenless very weak colony) all is well now. Boy, those things are just nasty. Best,Derrick
Hey Annette! Just wondering,...Did you do like me and take the book outside with you when you installed your first bees? I even have pages stuck together now because of the syrup I was squirting all over everything!! :-Dyour friend,john

As much as I try, I cannot read every young adult novel published in a year. These are my favorite books from all the books published within the past twelve months that I have read. Books are listed in alphabetical order by title. I will do my best not to spoil things. However, some of the books are sequels, and I assume some knowledge of previous books.
Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter
I prefer to read vampire books over zombie books. Vampires are much hotter than brain-eating, walking corpes. This book changed my mind about the genre. After Alice's family dies, she learns that her father was right about monsters in the night, and she joins a group of people to rid the town of zombies.
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Weyn
I also do not usually read straight historical fiction. If I do read historical books, they tend to have fantasy or supernatural elements. I originally was not going to read this book, and I am very glad I changed my mind. During World War II, "Verity" is arrested by the Gestapo and interrogated. The reader never knows for certain if what she is confessing is the truth.
The Curiosities by Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton & Brenna Yovanoff
An anthology of paranormal stories with commentary by the authors. These stories were featured on their website http://merryfates.com/. Great & quick supernatural reads.
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. Two teens meet at a cancer support group and tentatively start a romance. Warning: I cried a lot.
Friends with Boys by Faith Erin Hicks
Maggie has been homeschooled until high school. She does not know how to interact with her peers especially as she has been followed around by a ghost most of her life. This graphic novel, despite the ghost, accurately depicts a teen's struggles with school and friends.
The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead
As previously stated in the post, I am a fan of vampires unlike Sydney Sage the heroine of the Bloodlines series. In book one, she slowly started to warm up to the vampires with whom she was forced to work. In the sequel, she becomes even friendlier with them especially Adrian. I like forbidden romance, and it is hinted at in this book. I am counting down the days until book three, and I took that day off to stay home and read. Watch for the tweets.
Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
At over 500 pages, I barely noticed the length while reading this first book in a new series. Ismae has dangerous gifts from the god of Death, and she is recruited by a convent of assassins to hone her skills. Going undercover at court, she finds lots of intrigue and romance while protecting the young duchess. Lots of action a very strong heroine. I cannot wait for book 2 which will follow another recruit.
Long Lankin by Lindsey Barraclough
A very creepy book about an old evil. During 1958, Cora and her sister are sent to live with an aunt in an isolated house. Their aunt never wanted them and is keeping a dangerous secret. They become friends with local boys and gradually deal with the mystery. I liked the friendship, and the book actually scared me.
Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout
This book greatly entertained me when I had no electricity for several days after that big storm in July. Katy moves to West Virginia and is intrigued by "boy" next door Daemon. Daemon is extremely rude to her because he is keeping a secret. Although I am over the boy who is really mean because he is protecting the girl from himself, Daemon got past that pet peeve.
Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter
I am a big fan of both of Ally Carter's young adult series, and books from these series have made my previous best of the year lists. When I first read the description of the plot, I grumbled as amnesia is another one of my reading pet peeves. Ally Carter skillfully managed to deal with Cammie's memory loss over while supplying lots of suspense. There were also some sweet, romantic moments between Cammie and Zach.
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
A fantasy with compelling characters. Orphan Alina is taken away from her friend Mal and the only life she has ever known when she reveals previously unknown magical skills. She becomes the apprentice of the mysterious Darkling and struggles with her new role.
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
Hadley and Oliver meet on a flight from New York to London. They have feelings for each other but do not expect to meet again. A wonderful contemporary teen romance. Through their conversations on the plane, I truly believed that they could have a meaningful relationship.
Honorable Mention:
These books came very close to being my top favorites.
City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare
I loved the first three books in the "double trilogy" Mortal Instruments, but the author is really stretching it to keep Clary and Jace apart. I need less angst and more kissing.
Dead to You by Lisa McMann
Having been kidnapped as a child, homeless Ethan is finally reunited with her family. His brother is suspicious when Ethan cannot remember certain events from his childhood. The main character was not always likable although the plot was twisty and intriguing.
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Tris deals with the fallout from events at the end of Divergent. I just wish she just had told Four the truth about what was bothering her.
Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey
Although I am a fan of paranormal romances, after awhile, I got tired of the fated-to-be love between the main characters. In this book, Lenzi and the boy literally from her dreams Alden have known each other through many incarnation; however, they both struggle and question the idea of their fates.
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Celaena is offered freedom from her imprisonment in the salt mines if she agrees to enter a competition to become the royal assassin. I dislike love triangles, and my the man I am rooting for seems to be losing in this one otherwise this might have made it to the top of my favorite. Calaena is a very strong character.
Traitor in the Tunnel by Y.S. Lee
A great historical mystery. Mary Quinn and James Easton finally seem to be progressing in their relationship. On the other hand, I did not like the annoying, new male character who could possibly become another side to a love triangle.
Stay tuned as later this month I will blog about the books I am most looking forward to reading in 2013.

Hey everyone,
I'm just getting my feet wet with sculpting a set of gauntlets out of clay, and I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to go from there. It's also important that I can somehow preserve my original work in case I need to make another set down the road.
For example, do I.....
1. sculpt the gauntlets
2. make a plaster mold of the gauntlets
3. make a positive casting of the gauntlets in plaster
4. vacuum-form plastic over the plaster casting
5. put the mold away for safe-keeping
Is this the best way to go? I was just curious about how those of you who make these things from scratch go about reproducing them from start to finish.

Smithfield • The Bonneville Lakers streamed onto the court, hugging and screaming, where the celebration was just beginning. The Sky View Bobcats staggered back to their bench, heads held high, but visibly reeling at the disappointment of being deprived of what almost was.
Cortney Porter's 3-pointer from the wing with 10 seconds left gave the Bonneville girls' basketball team a 49-48 win over Sky View on Thursday night to keep the Lakers' undefeated season alive.
"I had missed the last few, but I knew this one was going in right when it left my hand," said Porter, who shook off a cold first half to score a game-high 14 points. "I still think it's a dream. I don't know what else to say."
The win clinches a share of the Region 5 title for the unbeaten Lakers, and just one more victory in their final three games will put the outright title to rest.
Meanwhile, the Bobcats lost what was likely their best chance to force their way back into the region picture, though they theoretically could still win out and match the Lakers at 7-3 in Region 5.
"To come in here any time with any team and win is a big deal," Lakers coach Mike Russell said. "We knew that coming in. It's a tough place to play, and Sky View's a great team. They're a team I believe could end up in the [state] finals. I really do."
Sky View had one last chance to win after Porter's heroics, but Tara Goldman's 3 came up short, and the Bobcats were unable to get off another good look.
Using a triangle-and-two defense, the Bobcats frustrated the Laker offense throughout much of the first half, but eventually, the Lakers broke through with a seven-point lead late in the third quarter.
However, the Bobcats came back to tie it heading into the fourth and even took a five-point lead late in the game.
The Lakers this season have seldom been challenged, and they were pleased at having overcome the test of an evenly matched opponent this close to the playoffs.
"It's not necessarily fun," said Kayla Eilertson, who had 12 points for the Lakers, "but it's something we need to have during the season, so we'll be ready for state games that will be close like this."

someone playing them??
I unfortunately haven't played 40K in a few years now but I played Dark Angels when it came to Space Marines. The DA and Cadian Imperial Guard were always my favorite. I get the urge to play often and the urge to make a Space Marine costume just as frequently. Especially with the recent surge in 40K costuming.
i have a space wolves army,13th company space wolves army, chaos death guard army, a steel legion imperial guard army , and a space orks army , but haven't played for years , but i enjoyed painting and converting them more than playing
i have once a slamander marines amry but i was so stupird and sold it.have only 20 figures left.but i think i make a new one :-)
I was going to guess that you had a Salamander astartes army ;). Well that's what I always thought of anyways when I see your name.

I was looking forward more for the jailbreak than I was for the Super Bowl on sunday!
I usually keep shut. But I have to say your lack of respect towards the dev team working on a jailbreak that YOU are going to install onto YOUR device(s) probably for free because You haven't or won't donate is total bs. If you don't like that the website that the dev team has is giving us all a progress report then don't go to the website! It's that simple! As far as I can tell ur the only one complaining. Be happy we are getting a jailbreak. If you don't want to know the progress then don't come onto this forum or the dev teams website. I hope I didn't offend anyone but enough is enough don't you think guys?
The devs are just making it seem that there's still a lot of things to do, then will release it tomorrow during the Super Bowl just to up the suspense and the drama. Then will say "we spent the whole night testing to bring you the jailbreak just in time for the Superbowl/Sunday-Funday"
That's our cue (the public) to hit the donate button and spam them with tweets and post praising them for all the hard work, etc.
These guys are like Hollywood actors, they need publicity and attention
mod edit
Oh my...you rage harder than MY 3 year old niece! Haha, you do have a valid point though. People need to learn to be more patient and let the evad3rs release a stable jailbreak
No release Sunday :-(

Hello fellow fett's... I'm new to this board.. well 'new' with posting a message that is.. I have been stompin' around here for a few weeks now.. doing my research, and man has all your postings helped me out!.
Anyway.. the question I have is "How can I attach my sintra armor onto a vest?" Now my vest is just a mocked up T-shirt, weathered, and I have read that gluein' it to the shirt would be a good way to go. If so.. what type of glue would I use? If glueing isn't the way to go...then what other methods would be best to use. I have thought even to make some sort of plate that would fit under the vest and fit to the form of my body. Then the small parts of the vest/shirt would be cut out under where the armor would go and I could epoxy the armor back to the plate under the shirt. This I would think would help it keep its form and shape with no shifting??
But before I go and do that.. maybe some suggestions would be great!. Thanks.

Distinguished jurist in residence has busy speaking schedule
Justice Marilyn Kelly, Wayne State University Law School's first distinguished jurist in residence, has been living up to her dynamic reputation since she joined the faculty in March.
She has a full speaking schedule this month, as she advocates for education and judicial reform.
Kelly, a 1971 Wayne Law alumna who served for 16 years on the Michigan Supreme Court and was chief justice from 2009-11, was prevented from running again for the high court by the state Constitution, which bars judicial candidates over the age of 70 from running for office. She disagrees with the provision, and her energy and activism work to underscore her objection to the age rule.
On April 4, Kelly was featured on a 30-minute interview with Henry Gornbein on the Bloomfield Community TV cable show "Practical Law." She spoke about her work at Wayne Law and her experiences on the state Supreme Court.
She'll be the keynote speaker on April 23 at the 19th annual Youth Law Conference in Troy.
"This is for high school students, and is sponsored by the Oakland County Bar Association," Kelly said. "I'll be speaking on my life and experiences on the bench."
On April 26, Kelly will speak to state librarians in Lansing about the Michigan Legal Help Program, and how "they can help the impoverished get free legal assistance," Kelly said.
As the state Supreme Court chief justice in 2010, Kelly established the Solutions on Self-Help Task Force to promote quality legal assistance for people of limited means who have to represent themselves in simple civic legal matters, such as divorces and evictions. The effort, she said, was needed to help close "the justice gap." The task force created the Michigan Legal Help Program.
The program's website, www.MichiganLegalHelp.org, offers accurate information and simple online forms for users who are representing themselves in legal matters.
On April 27, Kelly will speak to the State Bar of Michigan Representative Assembly on another of her projects, the state's Judicial Selection Task Force, and its efforts to improve the way judges are elected. The task force's report advocates open disclosure of campaign spending for judicial elections to "expose special interest groups seeking to twist the supreme court's jurisprudence for private gain" and also advocates eliminating "the role of the political parties in selecting supreme court candidates in favor of an open primary." Kelly is co-chair of the task force and passionate about its goals.
The busy "jurist in residence" also has been a guest lecturer in Law School classrooms, including a recent visit teaching students in Distinguished Professor of Law John Dolan's course on Property Law.

I was pissed that some people would drink all of my milk at my house when we had people over after I went to bed, so I bought a half gallon of chocolate milk and put some powdered laxatives in it. I found out who was drinking my milk pretty quickly!

I went to the beach at Lake Tahoe on a Sunday. Parked in a dirt lot behind a convenience store. came back to the suv an hour before dark and another car boxed me in between them and a tree (I shouldn't have parked in front of a tree). I reversed to push their car enough to squeeze out between the tree and a mercedes next to me then cut the front valve stems off. I'm sure they had fun with that after dark on a Sunday.

Two years ago in traffic a ford excursion was playing traffic cop, ket me from being able to merge into traffic. I eventually merged, miles down the road said truck wanted to merge in front of me. I was a prick n wouldn't let him. So as I passed the ford, the passenger smacked my mirror on my truck. Got me revved up!
This excursion then merged 3 or 4 cars back, being I was revved up about this guy hitting and cracking my mirror, I nicely put my truck in park casually walked back to his excursion, ripped his mirror off and threw it in the median, then walked back to my truck got in and left.
Guys in the excursion never got out, never said a word to me.

Friends husband (was a douche lawyer) and always bragged, especially about his new mercedes. So I put some ball bearings in an altoids tin and put it under the drivers seat. He had that car in the shop bitching about a rattling noise about 20 times, before a mechanic finally found the tin. Was he pissed
I am about to park in downtown Chicago and am in front of the spot with my blinker on and reverse lights waiting for traffic to go by, when a bitch in a Renault 5 (this was in the 80s) pulls into the spot driving in frontally. She quickly gets out and when my buddy says something she gives him the finger. Well there were 4 of us in my car. After she is gone we lift the front end then the rear end onto the sidewalk. There is a parking meter in front and behind her and a building besides her. We wait a few minutes and someone asks if the spot is taken, we say no and they park. We find another spot and are in the restaurant across the street and watch as she gets a ticket for parking on the sidewalk, and finally comes out and sees her car boxed in and a ticket on it, she then has to wait an hour for the other person to come back and move their car. She starts yelling at them and they get into a big arguement. As we leave they are still yelling at each other. We had finished eating and were just having beers watching what was going to happen. I have to admit this was Mark's idea and not mine but I helped.
Asshole neighbor would mow his grass at 7 am every Saturday, when i asked him to wait a few hours he told me tough luck and if I did not stay out late drinking it would not be an issue. He stored his lawn mower in his shed (unlocked). I put linseed oil into the gas tank. when that mower crapped out, he bought a new one and I did the same thing. hearing him bitch at 7am that his new mower would not start was worth being woken up.

No matter how flexible and convenient digital information has become, we haven't done away with the need to see information in print. Extensible Style Language-Formatting Objects, or XSL-FO, is a set of tools developers and web designers use to describe page printouts of their XML (including XHTML) documents. If you need to produce high quality printed material from your XML documents, then XSL-FO provides the bridge.XSL-FO is one of the few books to go beyond a basic introduction to the technology. While many books touch on XSL-FO in their treatment of XSLT, this book offers in-depth coverage of XSL-FO's features and strengths. Author Dave Pawson is well known in the XSLT and XSL-FO communities, and maintains the XSLT FAQ. An online version of this book has helped many developers master this technology. XSL-FO is the first time this reference is available in print.The first part of the book provides an overview of the technology and introduces the XSL-FO vocabulary. The author discusses how to choose among today's implementations, explains how to describe pages, and shows you what is going on in the processor in terms of layout. You'll learn about the basics of formatting and layout as well as readability.The second part focuses on smaller pieces: blocks, inline structures, graphics, color and character level formatting, concluding by showing how to integrate these parts into a coherent whole. XSL-FO also explores organizational aspects you'll need to consider?how to design your stylesheets strategically rather than letting them evolve on their own.XSL-FO is more than just a guide to the technology; the book teaches you how to think about the formatting of your documents and guides you through the questions you'll need to ask to ensure that your printed documents meet the same high standards as your computer-generated content. Written for experienced XML developers and web designers, no other book contains as much useful information on this practical technology.
maintains the XSLT and XSL-FO FAQ site. He got started with XML in 1997 while looking for a means of document reuse for multimedia presentation in print and braille for the Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB). He is the W3C Advisory Committee representative for the RNIB,and has supported the Web Accessibility Initiative since 1998. His background is in software development in the aerospace industry, followed by 5 years with RNIB, where he initially worked as a change agent, has more recently been monitoring web standards for accessibility. He has been heavily involved in the digital talking book inititiative coordinated by the DAISY consortium at www.daisy.org.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of XSL-FO is a pennant-winged nightjar. Pennant-winged nightjars (Macrodipteryx vexillarius) are night-flying birds native to southern parts of Africa. Nightjars are also known in some areas as goatsuckers, because they were once thought to drink the milk ofgoats. However, they are actually insectivores and were probably common near goats because of the insects the animals attract.Pennant-winged nightjars have long, pointed wings; weak feet; and small, wide bills. Fluffy feathers make them almost noiseless fliers. Males are known for their long, black-and-white, pennant-like feathers that flutter like streamers to attract mates. When a male finds a mate, his long feathers fall off. Linley Dolby was the production editor and proofreader, and Tatiana Apandi Diaz was the copyeditor for XSL-FO. Darren Kelly, Rachel Wheeler, and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Derek Di Matteo and Phil Dangler provided production support. Brenda Miller wrote the index.Hanna Dyer designed the cover ofthis book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is Lucas-Font's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Linley Dolby.

Comments about oreilly XSL-FO:
This is probably the best XSL-FO book to date, although it is somewhat complicated. For XSL-FO (and XML/XSLT) examples that are more accessible you may want to read first Ecrion's XSL-FO tutorial (http://www.ecrion.com/XF/TechnicalResources/XSL-FOTutorial/toc.xml.html) , then read again this book.
Merchant response: The tutorial mentioned in this review has moved. It's now available at http://www.ecrion.com/Support/PDF/XSL-FOTutorial.pdf

XSL-FO Review
By Matt Gramlich
The author is well versed on the topic and the book reads like a conversation. There is a lot of information contained within its 250 pages and I found the best way to read it was to read through it completely, without trying to grab every term and concept. After completing the book, you will have a very good idea what you can and cannot accomplish with XSL-FO. You should then return to the book as reference material, and more closely scrutinized the chapters that pertain to the task at hand.Within each chapter there are usually small tips and advise that will help an unexperienced FO developer from spending too much time attempting to force FO to do something that it cannot or was not meant to do. A prior understanding of XSLT will be good before reading this book. In the appendices is a nice comparison of the current FO Parsers and toolkits. I recommend checking the website (http://www.dpawson.co.uk) for more current information regarding FO Parsers.Additionally, I applaud the author for choosing the GNU Free Document License.If you are looking for a quick start into XSL-FO, then this is not the book for you. You will be better served reading the XSL-FO chapter in "XML in a Nutshell" and then purusing a XSL-FO Cookbook or online examples. However, if you want to really understand FO stylesheets and master advanced usage, I recommend this book and the W3C specification as your primary reading sources
By Douglas Rowe From the Columbia Java Users Group
Armed with only the most rudimentary understanding of XSLT, I found this book a little overwhelming. It's not a "cookbook", though the examples are good. There are a few places where it seems to dwell on minutia, but mostly it moves along at a jog to brisk run pace. I got a better understanding of the topic and and am prepared to do more research, but this could not be my only reference.
By Robin Joinson
Having learned XML and XSLT fundamentals, I was struggling with XSL-FO until this book came along.Dave Pawson's exposition of XSL-FO is very well laid out,taking the reader through the various aspects of the XSL-FO specification in a logical order and in a way which enabled me to get results quickly.The appendices provide a valuable additional resource.It would be nice to see a companion volume (perhaps in the oreilly workbook style) showing some sample applications developed with some of the leading tools. The relative lack of tool specific information still left me with a lot of work to do and I'm often in the position of not being sure whether there is a compliance issue with the tool I'm using (FOP) or with my level of knowledge.I would recommend this book to anyone seriously interested in producing printed output from XML.

So...We recently lost our P&S Sony and replaced it with a new Sony (a WX9). We've been happy with Sony and compared other brands before buying this one. We liked the colors and features better, so please, let's not make this a brand battle.
This camera takes great pictures, but one thing and only one thing is annoying: The lack of a choice of B&W unless you copy and modify a foto with the included software.
When did this start? Are other brands doing this with their smaller cameras? We could've paid another $80 or so for the next model up, which includes the B&W feature.
I realize you can go B&W from a color foto and not vice verse, ok. But, I just like to line up my intended image and decide there whether color or B&W.
Is there any other downside to this besides the user being annoyed?
Anyone else annoyed by this?
Thanks in advance!

Filing for a Divorce from Reality
posted at 8:00 am on November 29, 2010 by Jazz Shaw
Marc Pascal is an old colleague of mine from The Moderate Voice, and a fine fellow, even though he is a self described, "Progressive, Democrat, Liberal." (PDL) I'm well aware that a lot of folks on his side of the aisle took the results of the 2010 mid-term elections pretty hard, but I fear that Marc took it worse than most. His response, penned this week, frames a suggestion for his fellow PDL types as to the next logical step for the movement.
Progressives, Democrats and Liberals (aka PDLs for short) must simply accept they are a minority in a right of center to extreme right nation in which any sane discussions of facts and reality are irrelevant. More than half of Americans generally live in fantasy bubbles of their own beliefs, fears, prejudices and selected "facts" constituting a worldview that is wholly separate from reality. Unless PDLs can argue principally on emotions, faith, and the perpetual delution of American exceptionalism, most of the electorate will turn away.
I'm actually going to dispute part of that in a moment, but let's skip ahead in this rather long treatise Marc has provided and see what his proposed solution is for the Port Side of the U.S.A.
The laws of every State entitle most married couples to a divorce based upon irreconcilable differences. The same approach may be necessary for America as a whole. This is not an effort to revisit or re-argue the Civil War and the premise that states cannot leave the union and cause a bloody war over slavery or other issues. Instead, it is an attempt to find a sensible and peaceful mechanism to dissolve a hopelessly dysfunctional and irreconcilable relationship that would free the angry and warring parties to find new and more productive and satisfying separate lives…
PDLs have to instead gather together in various domestic sanctuaries they can create within the U.S. It might be best that all PDLs – even those living in very "Blue" urban enclaves across this overwhelming Red nation – should seriously consider moving to the Atlantic and Pacific Coastal states…
This re-settlement proposal would be just the first part of a peaceful national civil divorce proceeding. It will eventually permit the laws and policies in our separate realms to fully reflect what the overwhelming majorities want in their separate legal and geographic areas. This arrangement would be far more preferable than perpetuating our current system of one side forcing its views over the other side all across this closely divided nation.
Marc, while I believe (or at least fervently hope) that you wrote this with your tongue mostly tucked in your cheek, it's still a rather disturbing sentiment. First of all, it seems a bit abrupt to suddenly take your ball and go home at this point. I would remind you that it was only two short years ago that the the nation was reading the obituary of the Republican Party, which had been beaten into irrelevance and was now largely a "regional party" stuck in a few Southern and Western mountain states, bitterly clinging to their guns and their God.
Things change. And even if I don't agree with you on many issues of the day, you've got to hang in there and keep fighting. I may not want you to win on the majority of points, but the game gets pretty boring if the other team simply heads to the locker room at half time.
Also your characterization of the nation as being closely divided in some sort of 52-48 split is really not an accurate reflection of reality. The truth of the matter is that there is a sliver of the country's population, probably less than 15% if the truth be told, who fully agree with you and are mostly in the PDL category. There is another, similar sliver on the other end who think you and your friends are total moonbats.
There are another pair of groups, perhaps a bit larger, who either somewhat agree or primarily disagree with you, but aren't ready to hurl stones or call you names. And member of these groups tend to swing a bit back and forth depending on the condition of the nation. That's what happened in 2008 and 2010.
And then there's another huge group – I'm sorry to say making up nearly half the country – who just don't care. They don't watch Fox or MSNBC. They don't read political blogs. They barely watch the news at all. And they don't vote. Ever. They're watching Sports Center on ESPN, trying to keep their jobs and hoping to make enough to go on vacation next year. They're not part of the war you're engaged in and they don't want to be.
And what of the politically active who don't fit into a neat category for your divorce settlement? (Such as yours truly, just for one example.) Where will I be shipped off to? If you send me to Omaha I may wind up in some trouble when my new neighbors discover my decidedly libertarian views on things like foreign policy and abortion. But if you send me to San Francisco I suspect I'll get a rather icy reception as well. The community won't be happy knowing I want to cut taxes, shrink the size of government, reduce spending and – just by the way – I have an arsenal of guns that could arm a small South American nation.
Where do I fit in to this grand plan? Will there be a special place for people like me outside of the main enclaves? If so, I'd like to suggest Virginia for us. The weather is generally fantastic and I understand you can hunt boar down there.
Be calm and be of good cheer, Marc. We don't need a national divorce and the sky has not entirely fallen on you and your PDL friends. All we really need is a rational national discourse and solid ideas on addressing the challenges we all face together.

RIP Robin Williams
Beloved TV and movie actor Robin Williams is dead of an apparent suicide. The Marin County Sheriff's Office issued a release Monday saying Williams was found inside his home in Tiburon, California Monday after a 911 call.
An investigation into the cause of death is underway, although Williams' longtime publicist is suggesting the actor may have taken his own life. [PHOTOS: Our Favorite Robin Williams Movies] Authorities suspect Williams died of suicide due to asphyxia. The 63-year-old actor was discovered unresponsive at his home in Tiburon, California at about noon local time Monday.
Williams' wife Susan Schneider released a statement Monday, saying "This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken." She added, "As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."
Williams' publicist Max Buxbaum said the actor had been battling severe depression of late. Williams recently checked into a renewal center to re-address his sobriety issues. A four-time Oscar nominee, Williams won a supporting actor Oscar in 1998 for Good Will Hunting.
He most recently starred in the CBS sitcom "The Crazy Ones," which lasted just one season. Williams shot to fame in the late 1970s playing alien Mork on the TV sitcom "Mork & Mindy." His numerous film credits include Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting, Patch Adams and last year's The Butler.
The beloved comedian's final Instagram post was a touching photo of him and his daughter, Zelda Rae Williams, from when they were younger in honor of her 25th birthday.

Alright, I admit it. I'm not necessarily the most loyal insurance customer. I like mixing things up to test out different experiences, which means that if you're my insurance company, I'm going to talk about you in my job...a lot.
Back in 2012 when I was writing the US Secure Auto Insurance Site Rankings report, I changed my car insurance to Progressive (so underwhelmed was I by their predecessor, I can't remember the name of the insurer, just that I got from my agent). And I not only changed to Progressive, I also switched from a traditional auto policy to the company's usage-based insurance coverage, SnapShot.
A few days after signing up, I was surprised to get this box in the mail--note the SnapShot logo on the packaging tape (and trust me that there's a Progressive logo on both ends of the box). Best of all, there was a compelling call to action on the box: "Plug In Today!"
And inside the shipping container? This smaller box, about the size of...the box an engagement ring might come in. Oh my! I felt like I was about to go with Flo on a Thelma and Louise-like adventure, assuming that we'd be safer drivers than they were, at least when the movie ended.
