ESEE knives are made from high carbon 1095 steel.

It is the user's responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned. ESEE Knives suggest using a dry film rust inhibitor such as TUF-GLIDE or TUF-CLOTH.

Attracted by scenic vistas, early motorists drove along the Mohawk Trail, one of the nation's earliest designated scenic routes. Its famous Hairpin Curve was a good place to stop. Those descending could cool brakes smoking from the steep descent. Those driving up could cool radiators that could reach the boiling point under the stress of the steep ascent.

Architectural Sconces
6 comments:
Mars/Venus for sure! My husband would say the exact same thing and he probably would bang his head into one - I can just see it now. Have you seen or heard of the Dunes and Duchess line? One of the creators is Stacy Kunstel. I love the sconces in their line: http://dunesandduchess.com/?page_id=600ReplyDelete
Yes, go for it Fran! And, I love that built-in sleeping nook!ReplyDelete
We have some in our basement...don't know if you've seen them or not so here's the link. http://www.mapleleavessycamoretrees.com/2011/07/basement.htmlReplyDelete
Your husband does have a point. Unless you put them somewhere where you're not going to walk by. Although...ours don't really stick out too far. Love the look. We got ours at the PB Outlet, so you can definitely find them on sale somewhere!
They are lovely and if it helps...my husband would say the same thing.ReplyDelete
I love these sconces and after looking at all these gorgeous images am thinking about replacing some rather disappointing ones in our hallway. Would you really bump into them anymore than a regular sconce? Now I have to measure and check...ReplyDelete
Lovely those hanging lampshades, an additional LED lamp can save electricity and give less heat.ReplyDelete

Are you a budding t-shirt designer? If so then you are probably trying to find ways to promote your designs and ultimately have them printed. Traditionalist would probably argue that the best way to get your tee design printed is to, well, print it yourself. This can be a time consuming and expensive process. Lucky for us we are a part of the interactive age of Web 2.0 where things can get done faster and easier.
Here I talk about 5 popular and ongoing t-shirt design contests. This can be a great way for indie designers to get their feet wet in the tee business. And even if you submit a tee design to one of these communities and your design does not get selected for print, you will still probably get valuable community feedback on your design. On the other hand, if your designs do get selected then get ready for a nice pay day!
Each of these sites have different rules and guidelines so be sure to read them before you submit your designs. Some of these sites retain exclusive rights to submitted designs whereas other sites allow the artists to retain exclusive rights.
1. Threadless. How it Works: The competition here is tough and the voting and comments during the selection process is brutal, but, if your design is selected you'll be part of an elite group of Threadless approved t-shirt designers! Shirts chosen for print will be produced in limited amounts, once the print has sold out, it will not be offered for sale unless is is chosen for reprint (not all designs are reprinted). Selection Process: Submitted designs are posted on Threadless and users vote for their favorite designs. Threadless staff then go through the top designs and select which are to be printed. Rights: If your design is submitted and chosen to be printed as a Threadless then Threadless assumes exclusives rights to the design. Pay Day: $2000 in cash and a $500 Threadless gift certificate for each design chosen to be printed. Plus, you get $500 each time your tee design is reprinted. And finally if you're tee is chosen for print you have a chance at winning up to $10,000 in the yearly Threadless "Bestee" Awards. Official Rules.
2. TeeFury. How it Works: TeeFury members are able to submit designs directly to TeeFury for consideration. When submitting your design they also suggest that you submit a link to your portfolio or website or anything that provides examples of your work. Shirts that are chosen are showcased on TeeFury for just 24 hours. Selection Process: Designs are selected by the TeeFury staff. Rights: The artists retains all rights to their designs and can do what they want with their designs after the shirt spends its time (max of 24 hours) on TeeFury. Pay Day: Artists are paid $1 for each shirt sold within the 24 hour period. Official Rules.Â
3. Shirt.Woot. How it Works: You can submit your designs to Shirt.Woot directly here or you can enter the weekly Shirt.Woot Derby. Every Thursday new Derby themes are announced and the following Friday submissions are accepted. Selection Process: The three most popular designs as voted by Shirt.Woot users get chosen to be printed and sold to the world! Designs submitted directly to Shirt.Woot are selected by the Shirt.Woot staff for print. Rights: Shirt.Woot retains 60 day exclusive (cannot submit to other contests or produce commercially) rights for all art design submissions. Shirt.Woot retains a 180 days exclusive rights for all Best of Derby Nominated shirts. If with thin the 60 or 180 time span the shirt is not chosen for print the then Shirt.Woot waives exclusive rights, meaning the artist can do what he likes with the design. Shirt.Woot has exclusive perpetual rights to your design if it is chosen to be produced. Pay Day: $1000 per winning design and $2 per shirt sold after the first day of sale. Official Rules.Â
4. Uneetee. How it Works: Artists submit t-shirt designs and if selected the tees are offered at Uneetee on a limited run basis. Selection Process: Unetee users vote for their favorite designs.

I have had more than one computer for several years now, and between two and three monitors to share between them. However, I hate having two keyboards and two mice. Back when I was only using Windows XP, I used a free program popular in the tech community called Synergy. Not the easiest to set up, but it worked very well. Then Vista came out.
I went back to Windows XP for a year, but being a member of the tech community, I felt it was my responsibility to get to know Vista, despite it's flaws. However, Synergy would not work.
I put up with two keyboards and two mice for about a year and a half before I stumbled upon a program called Input Director. By this point, I was using Windows 7 and Windows XP. It took a bit to figure out, but my computers are now living in harmony and using a single keyboard and mouse!
First, install Input Director on both computers.
On the host computers (the computer the keyboard and mouse are attached to), once Input Director is installed, there will be a RED icon in the System Tray.
Right click the icon. The first time around, you will need to click 'Show Input Director' to set things up. After that, the moment the other computer is turned on, you may need to click 'Rescan Slave Systems'.
On the 'Master Configuration' tab, click 'Add', then type the name of the computer.
You can find the name of the computer by right-clicking the 'my computer' icon on the desktop or Start Menu, then going to the 'computer name' tab.
Once that has been done, go over to the Slave computer, and right click on the Input Director icon. Click on 'Show Input Director', then on the 'Slave Configuration' tab.
Click on 'Add'.
Enter the name of the host computer and click 'Ok'.
In my experience, I didn't have any firewall issues, but your security software might prevent Input Director from working properly.
You should now be able use a single keyboard and mouse with both computers.

Goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth's first career shutout helps the Revs close their 2010 home slate with a victory over the rival Wizards | RevsWrap >>
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Shalrie Joseph scored his fourth goal in the last five games and goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth made four saves to record the first shutout of his MLS career, as the New England Revolution closed its 2010 home schedule with a 1-0 win over the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium.
With the win, the Revs (9-15-5, 32 pts.) put together back-to-back league victories for the first time since mid-August and finished the season with a home record of 7-5-3. Meanwhile, the loss officially eliminated the Wizards (10-13-6, 36 pts.) from playoff contention and clinched a postseason spot for the Colorado Rapids.
Kansas City outshot New England by a margin of 22-7, but Joseph's 31st-minute effort was the only shot which found the back of the net as the Revolution captain seized on a mistake by Wizards goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen to score the decisive goal.
The win was the Revolution's first over the Wizards since April 9, 2008, snapping a winless streak of six league games (0-5-1) against the Eastern Conference opponent.
Forced into an extensive lineup shuffle once again, head coach Steve Nicol made four changes to the Revolution side which earned a 2-1 win over the Houston Dynamo last weekend. Defender Cory Gibbs and midfielder Pat Phelan were both suspended because of yellow card accumulation, replaced in the lineup by rookies Seth Sinovic and Jason Griffiths, respectively. Meanwhile, Gambian wingers Kenny Mansally and Sainey Nyassi returned from national team duty to reclaim their starting spots, sending Khano Smith and Kheli Dube to the bench.
Shuttleworth retained his place in the starting lineup for a second straight game after Matt Reis was ruled out for the final two games of the season following right ankle surgery.
The Revs almost got off to a perfect start in the third minute when Joseph combined with Marko Perovic on a give-and-go at the top of the box, unlocking the Wizards' defense. Joseph found himself free 20 yards from goal and unleashed a low drive, but his shot kicked off the right post and bounced to safety.
After surviving the early scare, the Wizards began to assert themselves and created a series of half chances in the opening stages. Kei Kamara sent a glancing header wide of the right post in the 14th minute, then set up Josh Wolff for a tight-angle shot two minutes later only to see Shuttleworth make a comfortable save.
Kansas City was left to rue its wastefulness when Joseph capitalized on a mistake by Nielsen to give the Revs a 1-0 lead in the 31st minute. Chris Tierney's long, bouncing ball out of the back drew Nielsen out of his box as he rushed to claim, but he was late arriving and Joseph calmly headed the ball around the goalkeeper before finishing into an empty net.
Davy Arnaud had a chance to pull the Wizards level in the 43rd minute when Kamara's left-wing cross found him at the top of the box, but Arnaud's lunging shot drifted wide of the right post and the Revs maintained their slender lead into the halftime break.
In need of multiple goals to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Wizards pushed forward from the start of the second half and threatened to strike in the 59th minute. It was Kamara once again, this time rocketing a 30-yard free kick just wide of the right post as Shuttleworth was at full stretch.
Kansas City came close again 10 minutes later when Teal Bunbury used a series of feints to elude Griffiths in the box, but the rookie's left-footed shot caromed off the outside of the left post and out for a goal kick.
The game took on a physical tone in the closing stages and although the Wizards desperately threw bodies forward in search of goals, they never really looked breaking through the Revolution backline and Shuttleworth claimed the clean sheet.
The Revs will close out the 2010 season on Thursday, Oct. 21, when they visit the New York Red Bulls. Kickoff from Red Bull Arena is set for 7:30 p.m., and the game will be televised live nationally on ESPN2.

(Video): Senators owner Eugene Melnyk goes off on Matt Cooke
Apparently, the owner of the Senators Eugene Melnyk feels the same way I do about Penguins forward Matt Cooke. It looks like the Penguins are putting Cooke on notice. The last game between the Penguins and the Senators is going to be a dandy. It might be a blood bath.
"To have him [Karlsson] taken out by a goon [Cooke] it's just unconscionable," Melnky said. "Whether it was accidental, or whether it was reckless, or whether it was intentional. To me it doesn't matter, it's something that should've never happen. These players should never be playing in this league, these guys are a dime a dozen. That's exactly what they're worth per game."

Since the Vietnam War and its darkest days during the Pol Pot regime, Cambodia has mostly been out of sight and out of mind. It's time to change that, contends journalist Joel Brinkley in his new book Cambodia's Curse: The Modern History of a Troubled Land.
The former reporter for the New York Times first traveled to Cambodia in the 1970s and returned recently to find a nation and its people still suffering.
Speaking from his office at Stanford University this week, Brinkley talked about the character of a country and the iffy prospects for Cambodia's recovery.
Q: What has remained the same in Cambodia as during the Khmer Rouge era?
The relative docility of the Cambodian people. Ninety percent of them went along with the Khmer Rouge, and did not object even as they starved to death. There was a small uprising in one part of the country, but that was quashed.
Now you find a docility toward a government that's predatory and corrupt. They're accepting of whatever happens to them.
Q: How are things different now compared to back then?
The cities look relatively modern. You go to Phnom Penh and they have skyscrapers and more cars, bicycles, and motorbikes. Given that Cambodia has more foreign aid workers and more donors per capita than any nation on earth, the major cities have all sorts of restaurants and coffee bars to sustain them. It's a not a shining metropolis, but it's a lot more modern than the hinterlands.
If you go into the countrywide, people have no electricity, no running water, nothing to cook with except a fire, no bathroom except a pit out back. I suppose it's charming to see people who live as they did 1,000 years ago, but it's quite depressing. They could live better if they knew what they were missing.
Q: You write about the unwillingness of many Cambodians to develop ambitions for themselves and their nation. What's behind that?
Cambodia is quite a bucolic country, and that's one reason that its people are more or less stagnant. They can live off what nature provides them.
The historians who write about the Angkor period [in the centuries around the 1200s] make the point quite clearly that the Khmer of that era knew their place and had no aspirations. If you were a farmer, your children will be farmers and their children will be farmers. You could be killed for aspiring to more than you were born to in that era.
There is an element of that today, Their religion [Theravada Buddhism] encourages a precept of that faith: be satisfied with what you have and do not aspire to more.
Q: How did this affect education in Cambodia?
Until the 1960s, there was only one school outside of Phnom Penh. There are still parts of Cambodia today that don't have schools. In the rural areas, which is 80 percent of the country, most children don't stay in school much beyond the third grade. Only three percent of the population goes to college.
Q: Is there reason for hope about Cambodia's future?
I don't see a lot of reason for hope as long as the present prime minister remains in office. The problem is that he has been in office since the 1980s and has created a patronage system that reaches all the way down to the lowest levels of officials.
It's very hard to change the way the country works. You'd have to have a pretty revolutionary person atop this government.
Q: What do you think the world should do about Cambodia?
I believe the donors, the people who gave Cambodia $1.1 billion last year, should stand up at last and say, "We won't give you anything but humanitarian aid until you stop the human rights abuses."
Q: What lessons can we learn from Cambodia's history, especially the unprecedented nation-building efforts of the United Nations in the early 1990s?
We can learn an important lesson that applies to the Middle East uprisings right now.
The UN gave Cambodia a chance to become a democracy. They held an election, and 90 percent of the people voted. But the former and present leaders began fighting among themselves, almost as if the election had never taken place, and sabotaged the UN's effort before it left.
If elections or other forms of a change of government occur in these Middle East states, we in the West have to remain engaged beyond election day.
Q: What is the message of your book?
You ask anyone in the United States about Cambodia, and all they'll know is that they're so much better off than under the Khmer Rouge. Under that rubric, the prime minister can do whatever he wants as long as he doesn't kill hundreds of thousands of people.
This is a country of 13 million people who are being terribly abused, and no one anywhere is paying attention. That's why I wrote this book.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Standing like a rock against new competition.
The choice for best full-size pickup is not as clear as it was three years ago, when the Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra appeared to be the leaders of the pack. Since then, Ford has introduced an all-new F-150, Dodge has re-engineered the Ram, Toyota has added a Crew Cab model to its Tundra line, and Nissan has rolled out the appropriately named Titan. There isn't a dog among them. All are superb in their own way.
Yet Silverado still rides as well or better than any of them, and it handles well. It's quick and it's comfortable. Boxed and hydroformed frame rails give Silverado a strong, rigid platform. It is, as the advertising tagline says, like a rock. Silverado's interior was significantly updated in 2003, and so was its electrical system. Quadrasteer, GM's heavy-duty four-wheel-steering, is available for a number of different models, improving maneuverability in tight quarters or when pulling a trailer. Heated seats, a Bose stereo, XM Satellite Radio and other options make long days spent in a Silverado comfortable and enjoyable.
For 2005, most Silverados come with wider, lower-profile tires on 17-inch wheels, promising better handling than before. Short-box Extended Cabs with 4WD now offer a more powerful all-alumium V8, while a gas/electric Hybrid option promises lower operating cost with V8 performance. There's a sporty SS model, for buyers who value muscle-car acceleration and handling over towing/hauling capacity. More minor changes for 2005 include dual electric cooling fans, which are quieter and more efficient than the engine-driven fan used previously. Aerodynamic refinements to the front end and running boards reduce wind noise and promise a slight improvement in fuel economy,
Those who value a smooth-riding truck with a low load height should compare a two-wheel-drive Silverado to the other full-size pickups; lifting heavy equipment into the back of high-riding trucks is hard on the back.
Like all full-size pickups, the Silverado is available in a vast array of configurations: two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD); regular cabs, extended cabs, and crew cabs; short beds (6-1/2-foot) and long beds (8-foot). Three trim levels are available: base, LS, and LT, plus a sporty SS. Full-width Fleetside beds are standard, but retro Sportside beds are offered for selected models. Silverado is available in several load ranges, but this review focuses on the light-duty 1500 series, which offers payload ratings from 1,215 to 2,040 pounds. Silverado 1500 models are available with a 4.3-liter V6, a 4.8-liter V8, a 5.3-liter V8, or a 6.0-liter V8.
Returning after a one-year hiatus is the 1500HD, which represents a compromise between the light-duty 1500 series and the medium-to-heavy-duty (and correspondingly harder-riding) 2500HD and 3500 series. Avaialble only as a Crew Cab with a 6-foot, 6-inch bed (instead of the standard 1500 Crew Cab's 5-foot, 8-inch bed), the 1500HD hauls 3,073 pounds with 2WD, 2,766 pounds with 4WD, and tows 10,200 pounds. Power is provided by the big 6.0-liter V8 that's used in the 2500HD/3500.
Standard equipment on all Silverado models are cruise control, CD player, a step bumper, and 17-inch chromed steel wheels. The W/T (Work Truck) package, intended primarily for commercial and municipal fleet sales, deletes these niceties for an average credit of $1,600.
Moving up to LS trim (starting at $25,265) adds a long list of comforts and appointments, including power windows, locks and mirrors; upgraded audio and upholstery; and the 4.8-liter V8 with automatic transmission. LS Crew Cabs come with the 5.3-liter V8 and automatic. Silverado LT (starting at $32,965) is downright luxurious, with leather upholstery, automatic climate control, Bose audio, and a new version of the OnStar telematics system. The 5.3-liter V8 is standard on all LT models.
The Z71 off-road package includes full LS trim, plus special off-road suspension, locking rear differential, P265/70R17 on/off-road tires, skid plates, high-capacity air cleaner, wheel flares, fog lamps, and deep-tinted glass.
Silverado SS is a performance model equipped with a high-output 345 horsepower Vortec 6000 6.0-liter engine designed for quick acceleration and relaxed cruising. SS gets a high-performance Z60 chassis package; 20-inch wheels and tires; full-time all-wheel drive; a lower, wider stance; and special exterior and interior trim.
A Silverado Hybrid is available in several states and, with its unique starter/generator combined with a 5.3-liter V8, offers up to 10 percent improvement in fuel economy while delivering the same 295 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque as any other Silverado with the 5.3-liter engine.
Options include XM Satellite Radio ($325), which provides CD-quality broadcast of 100 digital channels coast to coast, and a Bose sound system. Crew Cab models offer a Panasonic DVD Passenger Entertainment System ($1,295) and rear-seat audio controls. Late in the model year, Extended Cabs and Crew Cabs will offer a power sunroof ($1,100). OnStar ($695) is also available, which puts a human being at your assistance at the press of a button any time of day. OnStar operators can unlock your doors remotely and the system automatically calls for assistance if the airbags deploy.
Safety features on most 1500 models include dual-level front air bags, which are designed to provide an appropriate amount of inflation based on the severity of the crash. A passenger-sensing system automatically deactivates the passenger-side front air bag under certain conditions to protect children. Active safety features include anti-lock brakes (ABS) on all models. GM's Autotrac 4WD improves traction and stability of four-wheel-drive models on slippery roads.
The styling of the Chevy Silverado has an edgy angularity that looks contemporary. The Silverado shares its bold design cues with the Avalanche, the TrailBlazer SUV, and the mid-size Colorado pickup. The Silverado looks more conteporary than the relatively conservative Suburban and Tahoe SUVs.
Silverado's headlights angle down at the top like the determined eyebrows of a Marine drill sergeant. A large band runs across the middle of the grille punctuated in the middle by a big, gold Chevy bow tie. All of this is smoothly integrated into the front end, along with spaces for fog lamps and recessed tow hooks. The flared engine hood and squared-off wheel openings continue the aggressive theme down the sides of the truck. In the rear are bulging taillamps that maintain the Chevrolet family look yet uniquely identify the Silverado. Quadrasteer (four-wheel steering) models are distinguished by bulging rear fenders.
Silverado's large door openings make getting in and out easier, and the door handles are big and easy to grab. Extended cabs come standard with four doors, though the rear doors open in the reverse direction and not as wide as we would like. Optional puddle lamps mounted beneath the big side mirrors light the ground along the sides of the truck, handy in the woods and in the city. Mirrors are also available with redundant turn signal indicators, warning drivers alongside or in your blind spot that you are moving over. Heavy-duty models have running lights on the roof, tailgate, and leading and trailing edges of their bulging rear fenders. They add visibility for improved safety. Plus they look neat.
Silverado's bed features built-in tie-down brackets near the four corners. Indentations stamped into the inner bed walls can hold boards to form bulkhead dividers or a second floor for two-tier loading. The Silverado's load floor is 31.6 inches above the ground on 2WD models, and 33.7 inches with 4WD. That's relatively low, and low is good when loading heavy cargo. Short-box beds are 78.7 inches long; long boxes are 97.6 inches long. Fleetside boxes are 64.8 inches wide (at the floor); Sportside boxes measure 49.1 inches wide. All Fleetside boxes measure 50 inches wide between the wheel housings.
A Pro-Tec composite box is available for Silverado 1500 Extended Cab short-box models. Pro-Tec is a nearly indestructible material that's lighter and stronger than steel. It never rusts and it resists dents. Pro-Tec tailgates can support a lot more weight than steel tailgates.
Inside, the Silverado is roomy and comfortable. The seats are big and cushy, though we don't always find them comfortable for long trips. The standard front bench seat can seat three, giving Extended Cab and Crew Cab models capacity for six people. It's split 40/20/40, and the middle part folds down to become a center console/armrest. There's lots of head room and plenty of leg room, hip room, and shoulder room. The standard bench is available in cloth or vinyl.
Optional bucket seats are more comfortable and adjust every which way. We like both the premium cloth and the leather. The bucket seats are separated by a deep center console that holds lots of stuff. The top of the lid features a nice rubber-lined indention handy for small items, though it would be even better if the rubber was an insert that could be removed for cleaning. The top of the console is angled forward, which seems unfortunate because clipboards and other items placed there tend to slide off. A big coat hook makes picking up the dry cleaning easier.
The instrument panel features a large speedometer and tachometer. Smaller gauges to the right display oil pressure, water temperature, fuel quantity, and battery charge. HD models with the Heavy-Duty Trailering Package come with a transmission temperature gauge on the left. All use highly legible white-on-black graphics. Headlamps and taillamps turn on automatically when it gets dark. A Driver Information Center, located in the instrument panel cluster, provides various bits of information, including an available engine-hour meter.
Dual-zone climate controls are standard. The manually controlled system that comes on base models is a good, straightforward design. Manual sliders are used to adjust the temperature The available electronic climate controls are better, featuring two large knobs for driver and passenger. A large LED displays the mode and fan settings. It's a well-engineered system that's sophisticated yet easy to operate.
The stereo systems feature digital controls with large knobs for volume and tuning. It's a good setup, more attractive and more sophisticated than pre-2003 systems, but just as easy to use. XM Satellite Radio is a great addition for people who want minimal blab interrupting their music, or who like to listen to 24-hour news or sports channels like FoxNews, CNN or ESPN. Satellite radio also means you can drive across the U.S. without ever having to switch from your favorite stations.
The 2005 models are available with a new generation of OnStar (called Gen 6) designed for improved hands-free operation, thanks to more intuitive dialing and improved voice recognition. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls.
The back seat in Extended Cab models offers more room and comfort than expected. We wouldn't want to ride across the state back there, but three adults can fit and be reasonably comfortable for a short trip. The rear-seat bottom folds up to provide space for cargo, but it's still in the way when trying to carry a lot of stuff, and the floor is not flat. The entire rear seat assembly can be removed with a wrench and lifted out through the door when cargo capacity is more important than passenger space.
Crew Cabs offer roomy rear seats and additional interior cargo space. The back seats in Crew Cab models are very comfortable, similar to the rear seats in a Suburban or Tahoe. The rear seats can be flipped down, like those in a Suburban, to provide a big, secure cargo area.
Driving Impression
The Chevrolet Silverado remains one of the best-driving full-size pickups, even when measured against its newer competition. It feels tight and quiet, with little road noise or wind noise.
Those are benefits of its stiff frame, which minimizes noise and vibration from the running gear. The rigid chassis allows the suspension to soak up and manage bumps and ruts and tar strips. The cab is stiffened by a magnesium beam behind the instrument panel and a lateral steel beam between the magnesium beam and the right side of the dash. This additional stiffening is designed to eliminate squeaks and rattles, and we haven't heard any.
The Chevy Silverado rides more smoothly than the Dodge Ram. We drove a Silverado 1500 2WD LS Extended Cab that rode very smoothly. Its long, 143-inch wheelbase contributed to the ride (and enhanced high-speed stability). Models with Quadrasteer have a rougher ride, however. We drove a Silverado with Quadrasteer that tended to bounce annoyingly over a succession of dips. We suspect that the heavier rear axle that comes with Quadrasteer causes the rougher ride.
The Silverado handles well on dry pavement, loose dirt, deep dirt, and off road. It tracks straight at speed on dry pavement and it's stable on wet pavement. It holds its line when the rear wheels spin under acceleration, even when coming out of a low-speed turn on wet pavement. Steering is responsive and offers the right amount of feedback; there is a dead spot in the center when cruising, however, which Chevrolet says is designed to minimize steering corrections on the highway. Rack-and-pinion steering is used on Silverado 1500 4x2s. Four-wheel-drive and heavy-duty models use recirculating-ball steering.
Quadrasteer is no gimmick. It enhances low-speed maneuverability, and is a must-have for owners who tow, though it's available (for $1,995) only on selected models. (For 2005, that would be the 1500 Extended Cab short-box 4WD, 1500HD Crew Cab with 2WD or 4WD, and all 2500HD Crew Cabs). The Silverado is a full-size truck in a compact world, and Quadrasteer helps address that. Four-wheel steering helps when maneuvering through crowded parking lots and public garages. With Quadrasteer, you can make a U-turn in places that previously required backing up. A Silverado that requires 47.3 feet to turn around in with standard front-wheel steering needs just 37.4 feet with Quadrasteer. That's 10 feet, a huge difference. Where turning around on a narrow street takes five steps in a standard pickup, it's only three steps with Quadrasteer. Changing direction is quicker, less annoying.
While Quadrasteer helps around town, it is truly a superb feature when towing trailers. Quadrasteer can make you look like a trailering pro. First, it greatly improves control when backing up, eliminating much of that trial and error that occurs when you don't tow trailers on a regular basis. Second, Quadrasteer allows you to back a trailer into spots that would be literally impossible without it.
The optional Ride Control Suspension is designed to enhance control when pulling a trailer. Press the Ride Control button when the truck is empty and the system firms up the shock damping, which reduces bouncing somewhat, although at the expense of increased harshness. When towing, Ride Control helps reduce the tendency of the truck to pogo as the trailer goes over bumps. It can also be used for better suspension control when driving off-road.
Four different engines are available for Chevy's light-duty pickups, so it's helpful to study power ratings, payload ratings, tow ratings, fuel-economy, pricing, and other data to choose the best engine for your needs. People talk about horsepower, but torque ratings better reflect how the truck will perform.
The V6 model is best for light-duty work when price and fuel economy are paramount; it also meets Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle, or ULEV, standards. But the two most popular engines are smal.
Chevrolet Silverado still stands tall among a superb new crop of full-size pickups. Roomy cabins, comfortable seats, a comfortable ride, and powerful engines make the Silverado a great work truck. The Hybrid option promises lower operating costs under certain conditions. A well-equipped LT Crew Cab can serve as a reasonable alternative to a family-size SUV.

Wheeling Register
Excitement in Wetzel County
Their Houses Burned.
June 18, 1873
Excitement in Wetzel County
Their Houses Burned.
From a gentleman just returned from Wetzel county we learn that the war against the desperados who have so long held undisputed sway in that county, is still being waged, and the Vigilance Committee who have the matter in hand, and who call themselves Modocs, are fully endorsed and supported by all good citizens, and that the war against the outlaws will never cease until every one of them is driven from the county.
The band of cuthroats and robbers, who have compelled the formation of the Vigilence [sic] Committee by their acts, have for a long time had things pretty much their own way. They have resisted every process of the Courts and have shot at and driven away the officers of the law. They have assaulted and robbed citizens in broad daylight and have committed every species of outrage with impunity. The people finding themselves powerless else, have taken the law into their own hands and and [sic] are wreaking terrible and sure vengeance.
On Friday last the "Modocs" ordered off five families belonging to the Jennings gang and burned their houses to the ground, destroyed the improvements and warned the desperadoes to leave the State and not return under the penalty of death.
The parties thus driven out reached Bellaire, on their way west, on the Mallie Ragon, Monday night. They are said to be a hard looking set, but are now thoroughly cowed and tolerably civil.
The citizens of Wetzel have only just got warmed up to the work, but are determined not to cease their efforts till the last man of the gang is driven out.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 11, 2009) - The ETSU men's soccer team is set to face No.2 Stetson on Thursday at 4 p.m. in an Atlantic Sun semifinal match at the Eakes Athletic Complex on the campus of Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C.
""We have great respect for Stetson," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "They are the second seed in the A-Sun Tournament and defeated us in the regular season. Given that I would say we are the underdog in the match. I feel that we are playing very well here at the end of the season. Winning the last three games, and five of seven has given our team a lot of confidence. I think the players now believe that individually and collectively we belong in the final group, and that we can win."
The winner of the Stetson and ETSU semifinal will move on to the A-Sun Championship match on Saturday at 1 p.m. and would face the winner of the Mercer/Campbell semifinal.
"I think it will be a very even match," Calabrese said. "Playoff soccer is always about capitalizing on mistakes, and at the end of the season fatigue can be an issue. We have to be determined to continue our season and to �survive and advance' to the final, and mental lapses can't occur."
The Bucs (6-8-3, 4-4-1 A-Sun) have won five of their last seven matches including a first round tournament win over Lipscomb, 3-0. The Buccaneers feature Sean Hoek (Newburgh, Ind.) and Scott Rosman (Kenner, La.), as they had six players named All-Conference. Hoek has a team-best five goals and two game-winners, while Rosman has a league-best 1.11 goals against average.
ETSU dropped a 1-0 decision to the Hatters in the only meeting between the two teams this year. Stetson got the game winner on a Fredrick Brustad breakaway goal in the 49th minute of a game where the Bucs dominated in shots, 20-12.
Stetson (12-3-2, 6-2-1 A-Sun) has won two of its last three including wins over Mercer and Florida Gulf Coast. The Hatters placed five players on the A-Sun All-Conference list including the Defensive Player of the Year Robert Hodge.

Yes, my faithful congregants, The Vicar is back, and nearly in fighting shape after spending more than half of the year 2010 in chronic nerve-pinching pain. My ultimate recovery can doubtless be credited to all the prayers offered up for my healing by my caring and concerned parishioners--or else to the benefit of more than 400 years of scientific and medical advancement, the good fortune of being born in a first-world country and having a day job that offers insurance. But let's not split theological hairs!
While I was laid up and tripping on generic Vicodin last week, I finally got around to revisiting a relatively obscure cinematic slasher from the golden age of the subgenre: Richard Ciupka's debut effort from 1983, Curtains. This was one of those movies I remembered having enjoyed back in the burgeoning home-video boom times, and wondered how it would stand up after all these years.
In the flick's first act, hot-shit movie director Jonathan Stryker (played by delightfully menacing character actor John Vernon, last seen around the vicarage as the old gruff cop-cum-ventriloquist dummy in Killer Klowns from Outer Space) has rented out a theater to go over script ideas with his lover, super-famous method actress Samantha Sherwood (Cronenbergian baby-licker Samantha Eggar). Sam has acquired the rights to a play about a man-hating psycho named Audra, who in a climactic monologue verbally emasculates her cheating boyfriend before pumping him full of hot lead. She wants this to be her next star vehicle, but Stryker is not convinced she's quite got a handle on the insanity into which her character must fall in order to be believable. Whatchagonnado?
Well, if you ever had a sleepover at your friend Susan Strasberg's house and took acting tips from her dear old dad, yagonna get yourself committed to an insane asylum and spend the next several months figuring out what it's like to be a real-live looney! Sam and John think this is the best idea since Smell-o-Vision, and she pretends to try to murder him in front of the head of the psychiatric hospital, for authenticity's sake. Once she's in a straightjacket, Sam laughs with John about the boffo start to her method training, and he leaves her in the hospital to hone her craft.
Unfortunately their decision not to let the doctors know this is all theatrical research proves to be a SHOCKINGLY bad one. After a few weeks, the strain of listening to her dorm-mates gibber and screech starts to wear on poor Sam. John notices her performance getting better and better every time he visits, until finally he's so convinced that he callously moves on with the Audra project without her, leaving her committed so that she can get the help she now appears to actually need.
The idea of being the only sane person in the asylum is an affecting one--it's the old "but how can you prove you're NOT crazy?" dilemma. Ciupka evokes the dread and hopelessness well in these scenes, particularly when the still-sane Sam is confronted by her truly disturbed fellow patients--one of whom triumphantly hides her jigsaw puzzle pieces, one of whom comes back from shock therapy a mindless husk, and another who stages a manic tickle attack on the hapless actress! Sam seems stuck--after all, the doctors assume a smart crazy person will say anything to convince them she's not crazy, so how do you get around that?
Well, in this case you get around it with a daring and completely off-screen escape, aided by a faceless female friend. It happens fast: one minute Sam's in the asylum seething over John's betrayal, and the next she's in a hotel room with her unnamed, unclad companion, thanking her for the help in getting out. Like mine, your mind is probably jumping straight to the "unknown lesbian lover who will later be revealed as one of the principal characters" trope, but don't hold your breath. Having done her part to move the script along, the woman disappears, never to be seen again--or really at all.
We now move into Act II of the flick (seriously, even the end credits designate "Act I" and "Act II" personnel) , where we discover that Stryker is trying to cast Sam's replacement in the role of Audra. Not quite sure what he wants, the director has invited six starlets to his country estate for a Casting Weekend, which will doubtless be completely on the level and above-board, right? The memo to each girl to bring extra towels and moisturizer is surely just a standard rider.
Brooke Parsons (Linda Thorson), stand-up comic Patti O'Connor (Strange Brew's Lynne Griffin), and blonde sexpot Amanda Teuther (Deborah Burgess). Rounding out the group (and largely unexplored in this prologue) are figure-skater Christi Burns (Lesleh Donaldson, the superstitious heroine of1980's Funeral Home), dancer Laurian Summers (Anne Ditchburn), and musician/nympho Tara DeMillo (Sandee Currie).
After watching Patti deliver some of the un-funniest expository stand-up ever, we follow Amanda as she takes a bubble bath, drinks wine, and goes over the script in her apartment. Things take a turn for the SVU when a stocking-masked stalker invades her home and gets all rapey on her--but the tension dissipates when the attacker is revealed to be Amanda's boyfriend, the awesomely named Booth Savage. It seems Amanda's into the kinky stuff--though when Booth offers a sex fantasy based on video-game sensation PAC-MAN (I shit you not), even she gives him the ol' stinkeye.
After ill-advisedly bedding down next to one of the creepiest life-sized free-standing toddler dolls ever made, Amanda has a nightmare: she's driving out to Stryker's house when she sees the aforementioned doll in the middle of the road, reaching out to her. Getting out of the car to investigate (like you do) she is grabbed by its lifeless claws while the car starts up and runs her over! If I was having dreams like that, I'd think about curtailing my rape-before-bedtime activities a bit. The point is moot, however, since shortly thereafter Amanda is stabbed to death in her living room by an unseen assailant, and poor Booth's unspoken Frogger-based sex fantasy goes forever unfulfilled.
This leaves an open spot at the mansion, and who should arrive to fill it but the original Audra herself, Sam Sherwood! Sam marches in like she owns the place, ruthlessly belittles the talents of the other actresses, and takes every chance she has to remind Stryker of the fact that he left her to rot in the looney bin. Jonathan tries his best to carry on the casting by having the girls participate in acting workshops in his dance studio--usually improvisations in which one girl is tasked to seduce Stryker without words, or two girls are paired up and challenged to seduce one another (sensing a theme)? Christi the ice-skater takes on a little extra credit assignment by actually having sex with Stryker later that night.
The next day Christi goes out to skate on a frozen pond near the mansion, and thanks to her Olympian dedication is rewarded with the most memorable death scene in the flick, as she finds Amanda's creepy doll buried in the snow! Moments later the killer, dressed in black and wearing a fantastically creepy old woman mask, skates toward her in slow-mo and hacks her with a scythe! I can see why this scene made such an impression on so many viewers--it really is quite creepy in a nightmare/funhouse way.
Things have been a little draggy up to this point--nearly an hour in and only two kills--but events pick up as we go barrelling toward our conclusion. Laurian does an interpretive dance that expresses the emotion one feels when being garotted, and Brooke finds an unwelcome surprise in her dressing room:
Of course when Stryker comes to investigate the head is gone, and he comforts the hysterical actress by prescribing her a megadose of his penis. He's packing up the wedding tackle when the killer comes in and shoots both of them Audra-style, sending them flying out the window in a slow-mo double-defenestration--which is really the only way to do it.
Now it's time for the "heroine discovers all the dead bodies" scene, and here the director makes a bold choice by designating as heroine Tara DeMillo--a character who we as the audience still know absolutely NOTHING about! Somehow Tara stumbles into an alternate-dimension warehouse/funhouse/theatrical museum Stryker has on the premises, a real netherworld of old props and sets that reminded me a little of Mickey Rooney's pad in The Manipulator--but just a little. After finding a couple of corpses and being stalked by the old-lady-masked killer, Tara gets away by hiding in an air conditoning vent...OR DOES SHE?
Since there are only two characters left we figure one of them has to be the killer, right? Unless (spoiler coming......) they both are! As it turns out, Sam and Patti have been knocking off the competition, not working together as one would expect, but totally independent of one another--which is kind of a neat idea, but so out of nowhere as to be robbed of whatever effectiveness it might have had.
Curtains is not really that bad a movie, but it's no great shakes either. Ciupka does a good job with some of the scenes, particluarly in the madhouse, that show-stopping ice-skating attack, and the final other-dimensional tour through Theater Hell. The use of closing-curtain wipes on some transitions seemed a little cute, but I could forgive it for sheer ostentatiousness.
The problem is, with so many characters and so little time devoted to each one, it's really hard to care that much about what happens to any of them. Of the girls on the Designated Victim menu, Amanda is given the most backstory, and she's butchered before she even gets to the house, rendering all that time we spent with her pretty much pointless. Laurian gets maybe five lines total before her death, and Final Girl Tara gets even less attention before that last stalk-and-slash. Ciupka has a flair for suspense, it's clear, but the lack of character development really impairs the audience's ability to give a shit.
The acting is hit and miss, as usual. Vernon is good playing the type of deadpan menacing character he always plays, and Eggar gets to chew the scenery like it was a foetal manifestation of her crippling psychoses...or something. The other actors are forgettable, but that's probably more a criticism of the script than of their thespian chops.
Also hurting the slasher-fan interest opportunities is the relative lack of gory kills--it's mostly stabbing and strangling, and one character (an actor-for-hire Stryker's invited to help with the workshops who doesn't get a single line I remember) dies completely offscreen. There are a couple of brief nude scenes, but nothing particularly worth noting.
One last note--Ciupka's name does not appear under the director's credit on screen; rather, the movie claims to be directed by Jonathan Stryker! Whether this is a meta in-joke or the director's way of distancing himself from a disappointing first flick is unclear.
I didn't hate Curtains, but I didn't love it, and there are many more entertaining slasher flicks from the period. The poster is great, the mask is creepy, and the opening concept could have been fun, but ultimately, I'm afraid, it's just not. 1.25 thumbs.

I think this one had a ton of problems during the production and unfortunately it shows. Still, I have a soft spot for the snowy atmosphere and that skating/pond attack is just plain stunning. I wish the whole movie was on that level because it really does work. Can you imagine what it would have been like if they utilized that old hag mask more often? Glad you're feeling better and even though you were not too happy with this one, you've inspired me to watch it yet again. (It's the perfect weather for it here!)-Unk

I have to agree with you that CURTAINS is not a great film but the ice skating attack is one of the freakiest scenes in horror film. I named a regularly occurring character in my NICK OF TIME stories Audra in honor of that scene.
Also as a lad I thought Lynne Griffin was quite fetching.
I am also glad to hear you are feeling better instead of feeling parishioners.

@kindertrauma--You're absolutely right about that skating scene, and about the tragic underuse of the Old Hag mask. Really one of the more striking slasher disguises in the genre, but not utilized nearly to the appropriate levels. I thought Stryker's utilization of the mask in that weird acting workshop was going to be tied in later, but then it was just dropped. Was it the same mask? Or did he just shop at the same Walgreens as the killer? The world will never know, sadly. :P
@Al Bruno III--I really need to watch STRANGE BREW again; I can only assume Griffin was better in that, eh? :)
And just because I'm feeling better doesn't mean I'm NOT feeling parishioners! The relationship between the two is much more likely to be the inverse of your formulation... ;)

Our Fitness Blog
When it comes to the subject of weight loss or increasing fitness levels, most people would immediately agree that getting stronger muscles is the ticket to this goal. Knowing this, people start doing strength building exercises…push-ups, sit ups, throwing around the "iron" in weight rooms and the like.
Good stuff, but actually, this is not what I want to discuss today.
I want to ask you a question:
- Do you believe that there is any relation to your internal beliefs and your physical muscle strength?
I recently saw a program where a woman was volunteered to demonstrate this exact question.
She had to hold out her arm while the speaker asked her various questions. They were very basic questions and she was told to answer some of them true and some false. The strength of her arm being held out was directly related to whether or not she was telling the truth or lying. It was fascinating. Physics shows that the body's muscles weaken when a lie is being told. (This did surprise me at first, until I thought about how a lie detector machine works directly with the body's reaction to telling lies and I suddenly did not find it as such a new thought.)
Wait, there's more…Next, the speaker asked her to state something that she could not do. So, she stated, "I CAN'T swim well." and she stated an action. Her arm strength went weak…When she said the same sentence with the words "I CAN swim well." her arm strength held strong……..
Say what?!
I'm extremely open minded and find the human body and mind endlessly interesting. I was so intrigued that I haven't stopped thinking about it! If you research Kinesiology, it's actually quite easy to find tons of scientific evidence that shows why this is true.
But, bottom line, the power of what we tell ourselves about our abilities is EVERYTHING.
How do you "talk" to yourself? Do you have a long list of things you CAN'T do? Think about it….
If you think that those beliefs inside you have no effect on your physical body, think again!
Here and there throughout my life, I've met people who say, "Don't say can't! That's a bad word!" And, I always thought that was a 'nice' way to live life. But, now, I think it's more than just something cheeky to say, it's actually much more powerful than that!
Your assignment:
Start to notice people around you that are successful. Do they constantly talk about how much they CAN'T do? Doubtful!
Notice the same about people who aren't so successful…do they constantly talk about what they can't do?...The results you find most likely won't be surprising.
Stay acutely aware of how often you say CAN'T and let it be something that 'pricks' your consciousness until it becomes second nature to use alternate words. Simply saying, "I'm working on learning how to do that" is much better than saying, "I can't do that."
Stay aware of your own 'self-talk' and start saying "I CAN!"

GC: "Square Enix have released their financial statements and it's somewhat baffling looking at their sales targets for certain games."
***"Turns out they expected the game to ship 5 to 6 million copies. Those are ludicrous sales targets for a franchise that was on a massive decline."***
Ludicrous indeed.
If I was the part of the forecasting team....I'd have said 1.5-2million units sold and 3 million units shipped.
These guys are delusional.
Unrealistic sales expectations coupled with too high a budget. Seems to be a common problem with Square Enix these days. Their management is terrible.
Considering the Hitman didn't get all to good review 3.6 millions is pretty good.
Yeah pretty dumb goals they've set there.
Great game, stupid expectations. Hell I could maybe see the sequel sell that well but not a game thats rebooting a dwindling franchise.

Cognit necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 49 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Cognit is a new internet-based strength and wellness based educational and treatment approach to recovery from addiction and mental health challenges. Our programs are used in group sessions, one-on-one sessions and independent study. Cognit employs avatars to assist in the treatment process. Cognit quantifies a clients comprehension and progress using state of the assessment and clinical tools. Counselors are freed to spend more time providing therapy. We provide access to the latest programs 24 X7 from anywhere there is internet access.
Our treatment partners are treatment centers, hospitals, government agencies and other addiction and mental health treatment providers. We also want our treatment partner clients to easily recognize our logo. The logo should be suitable for display on our treatment provider websites.
A few things to think about:
- A graphic or icon that conveys the idea of Cognit ( to understand, self-awareness, simple to use, available anywhere any time, a continuum of care that extends beyond treatment, promotes a persons strengths and wellness.)
- Graphic or icon can be used separate from the text "Cognit".
- Very simple and distinct.
- No shadows, cartons, animals, gradients or flipped letters
- Nothing too elegant - we do not want to come across as being too complex
- No stock images.
- Is equally effective in color as well single color or black and white.
- The typeface must be clear, simple and bold.
We want something that stands out. Again keep it simple.
We would like to use a shade of blue similar to IBM Blue.
