I'm converting mov (or flv or mp4) files into ogv. Unfortunately, the programs I've been using (Miro, FFMPEG's ogv plugin) have terrible encoding that appears extremely fuzzy. Does anyone have recommendations for less compressed files in this format? Is it possible? Software recommendations? Thanks.
You can encode to Theora video and Vorbis audio with FFmpeg if it has been compiled with The valid range to set video quality with libtheora is 0 to 10 where a higher value is a higher quality. The following example, using current syntax, will set maximum constant quality video encoding:

The sale of the CDR Radio Network was finalized on October 17, 2011. The following provides information on the sale and links to the many fine programs that were previously available on air.
Thank you for being a faithful partner in the CDR Radio Network, a community supported radio ministry of Cedarville University.
As announced in October 2010, the Cedarville University Board of Trustees voted to divest ownership of the radio ministry due to the downturn in community support over the last decade, and the high cost of maintaining the broadcasting infrastructure. This difficult decision was made only after considerable discussion and prayer.
The CDR Radio Network of stations has been sold to the Educational Media Foundation, operators of two Christian radio formats, K-LOVE and Air1. We invite you to enjoy the new Christian format.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for your faithful prayers and involvement during our years of broadcast ministry.

Tour Dates: Our tours start from two nights and begin any day of the week from April to the end of October.
SAVE up to 120 euros* on bookings made before 30 November 2012.
We think we are different to other tours for a few reasons:
1 - GPS based - You choose the rides that you want to do from the 40+rides we have in our paper based Ride Directory. You then select them on your Garmin GPS and off you go. The GPS has a colour display & is easy to use and follow! So no more cumbersome maps and no more having to stop at every junction to see where you are- its easy!
2 - Flexibility - Our set up with the Ride Directory (including for each ride: a map overview, mileage/time etc along with tourist info),GPS and our Real Provence tourist guide, means that you really do do the tour that you want. There is no 1 tour fits all with us. If you want to be on the bike all day that's possible, whilst if you want more "Tourism" that works too! And if you want lots of hills or easier flat terrain - that's no problem it's your choice. Flexibility also means you choose the length of your stay!
3 - Single base - With us there is no changing location everyday - so no packing, unpacking and the usual logistics involved. You'll stay in our popular 17th Century Provencal farmhouse B&B with pool (ranked 2nd out of 104 B&Bs in the area on TripAdvisor). We supply home cooked dinners (every 2nd evening), and copious fresh French buffet breakfast outside under the vine pergola.
4 - Bike the real Provence - we live in and bike this area all year long. So we know where to find the best rides, quiet backroads, that special restaurant or that village off the beaten track. This is not mass marketing, you are not a number, we try to give you a real flavour of Provence. Hopefully our Real Provence guide & our Luberon food guide will point you in the right direction so you can get the most from your stay.
5 - Value for Money Tours - we aim to offer honestly priced, value for money tours, if you compare what we offer:
- Flexible tours for all levels,
- A directory of GPS guided rides,
- Quality B&B accommodation,
- A beautiful Provence backdrop for excellent cycling and tourism,
- Home cooked dinners (every 2nd evening) and daily buffet breakfasts,
- Brand new quality hybrid bikes for 2010, GPSs & equipment,
- Rider back-up,
hopefully you should find that we stand up very well to other tours. We can do this because we don't have to pay middlemen for hotels, food & bikes etc, these savings are passed onto you to make great prices.
*Save 120 euros for 2 people sharing 1 room - Save 50 euro for a 1 person booking. For bookings of less than 6 nights the discounts are pro-rated.
Remember most of us are somewhere in between these two groups.
It's also important to remember that our tours are very flexible, meaning that these itineraries are by no way set in stone. These are guides as to what your tour could look like. On your arrival, by using our comprehensive Ride Directory (of 40+ rides) and our input, we can easily put together the tour that is right for you, thus making the most of your time in Provence.
1 - A smaller amount of bike time with more of an accent on Tourism.
Day 1: Arrival @ 4pm - Pick up bikes & GPS. Short demo & a 5kms ride to get you used to your GPS. Then maybe a short ride before dinner.
Day 2 - Ride to the spectacular stone hill-top village of Gordes, take a seat at the cafe by the fountain & take in the view. Visit the ancient stone settlement just outside Gordes. Then onto one of the many vineyards. 25kms / 15 miles.
Day 3 - Walk to the Lavender museum in the village from the Farmhouse. Then on the bike to visit the beautiful riverside villages of Fontaine de Vaucluse & L'Isle sur la Sorgue. Admire the crystal clear water as you sit by one of the many riverside restaurants. L'Isle sur la Sorgue is the French Antiques capital - so dozens of shops to visit. 30 kms / 18 miles.
Day 4 - Ride along the Luberon valley then up to the beautiful village of Roussillon, famous for its terracotta landscapes and take a walk through one of the old ochre mines. Then down to the converted rail track (now a bike path) on the way back to the Farmhouse. 35 kms / 21 miles
Day 5 - Visit "Peter Mayle - Year in Provence" territory, with the choices of Lacoste, Menerbes and Bonnieux - all beautiful centuries old stone hill top villages, rich in history and culture. Chateaux, Churches, great views, excellent restaurants - the real Provence. 30 kms / 18 miles.
Day 6 - A lovely ride to the unique, and relatively unknown, Oppede le Vieux. Walk through the picturesque Rennaisance village and then up through the abandoned houses (due to an earthquake) to the rocky spur with its magnificent 360 views, ancient Chateau and Church - unforgettable. 30 kms / 18 miles.
Day 7 - Departure after breakfast.
2. Where the biking is more important.
Day 1: Arrival @ 4pm - Pick up bikes & GPS. Short demo & a 5kms ride to get you used to your GPS. Then maybe a short ride before dinner.
Day 2 - A tour of the spectacular Luberon villages and landscape. Take the superb, quiet bike track to Oppede le Vieux, Menerbes, Lacoste & Bonnieux - where sights abound. Head down the excellent 10km winding road, with great views of Mont Ventoux, to Apt. Jump on the converted rail track (now a bike path) and then climb up to Rousillon and Gordes. 72 kms / 45 miles.
Day 3 - Tackle the Tour de France classic - Mont Ventoux. Drive the 50 mins to the start point. Punch your time card at the bottom of the mountain and then it's the 25kms climb to the top. With the last 6kms at 10% it's fun. Punch your card and admire your time - then it's 25kms free wheeling. It's not a huge distance - but it's a lot of climbing with 1600 metres from Bedoin or 1200 metres from Sault.
Day 4 - Scenic tour around the Luberon Mountains. Head of along the flat, through the vines to the pretty villages of Robion & Maubec. Head around the spectacular Luberon mountain, through the orchards and into the mountain pass. Tackle the long climb up to Bonnieux, and then down into the valley along the converted rail track (now a bike path) on the way back to the Farmhouse. 76 Kms / 48 Miles.
Day 5 - Gordes & beyond. Climb up to the famous village of Gordes, keep going to the "Col de Murs" mountain pass and the magnificent calm that you'll find there, then the long downhill towards the pretty villages in the river plane, St Dider, Pernes & L'Isle sur la Sorgue. 68 Kms / 43 Miles.
Day 6 - Up into the hills. Take the scenic route to the unique village of Fontaine de Vaucluse, and into the quiet & beautiful hills behind. Down to picturesque St Didier for lunch, and then back via the river plane and fruit orchards. 76 Kms / 48 Miles.
Day 7 - Departure after breakfast.

For me, this has been really helpful in understanding emotions and becoming articulate in expressing them, since I've spent so long refusing to face my emotions and pushing them back down. You can't deny what the colours suggest about where you're at, cause you are the one who chose the colour in the first place. Interesting also to pay attention to the colours you find repulsive too, like pink is a big one for me, with all those things that relate to it.. self-esteem, loving who you are, not being too hard on yourself, nurturing yourself... enough said!

text: Fire damages St. Luke's By Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch An early morning fire has caused considerable damage to the St. Luke's Catholic Church on 15th Street. The call came in shortly before 6 a.m. Wednesday. When firefighters arrived on scene heavy smoke could be seen coming out of the roof towards the back of the church near Loretto Catholic School. The DFD was able to use its newly purchased 100 foot aerial ladder fire truck for the first time to help combat the fire along with two other fire trucks. Douglas' Fire Chief Mario Novoa said the new ladder truck worked beautifully and helped them attack the blaze from a different angle. Damage was contained to the pulpit area of the church and there is smoke, water and roof damage throughout the lobby and main chapel area. The chief said the side chapel was not damaged however and the candles that had been lit were still burning when he walked through the building once the fire was out. One firefighter was injured in the fire and was taken to Southeast Arizona Medical Center for treatment. The 7 a.m. mass that was normally held at St. Luke's was canceled. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Officials are saying it does not appear to be arson. |

The past five and a half weeks have been the hardest of my life.
They have also given me things that I would not trade for the world.
I have experienced some pain and suffering, fear and remorse, trial and tribulation, and in exchange I have a new appreciation for my life, my family, my self.
I have been brought to my knees, and have touched a void of hopelessness only to be lifted up by the love of the most amazing children, husband, parents, and friends.
I still have some healing to do, but already I have been given the precious gift of a second chance -- an opportunity to stop marking time, doing what is easy or habitual or safe -- and begin being the person I want to be right now.
For five years this blog has been a huge part of who I am. I have learned so much from the experience of authoring Marvelous Kiddo, I have met so many amazing people through it, and I have felt very powerful and creatively fulfilled here.
I have also lost myself in it from time to time: Living life to blog about it later, instead of for the experience itself. Prioritizing the blog over my family or my marriage or myself sometimes (ok, many times). Getting bogged down by comparing myself to others. Trying to earn the approval of strangers. Striving to keep up with the ever-increasing momentum of the internet.
Running this space has been by turns liberating and confining, enjoyable and exhausting, rewarding and punishing, thrilling and stress-inducing, inspiring and scary.
I am still in shock that you are out there, reading along! Thank you for sharing your time with me here, for opening up your minds and hearts, for reaching out to commune with me over the issues and topics that I have raised. Thank you for your friendship, your loyalty, your concern, your passion, your questions, your honesty, your love. I started a blog and you people made it a community -- and for that I am eternally grateful.
I have been thinking about this for a long time (and recent events have conspired to confirm my inclination): I think it is time to say goodbye.
The Marvelous Kiddo chapter of my life is over.
I am crying as I write this, not because I regret this decision but because I know it is truly time to move on, and moving on can be hard! I am venturing into the unknown, opening up to possibility, surrendering to the loss of something that has meant so very much for so long. But I cannot make this work any longer. I'm ready to discover what is next, and (perhaps moreover) to fully enjoy just being in the now.
Please accept my deepest regards and my most heartfelt appreciation for being a part of this blogging journey with me.
All my love.

Conferences, Workshops and Camps
"Smart Art" students will gain appreciation for their outdoor environment by spending time outside and creating works of art from natural debris. The advantages and disadvantages of recycling waste materials and the impact human excess has on the environment will be addressed by looking at contemporary artists who are using their own work as calls to action. Students will also have the opportunity to create a large, collaborative work using materials that would otherwise be discarded but have instead been collected through the Iowa Waste Exchange (a website that helps to distribute miscellaneous factory remnants). By using their creativity and innovation all students will have the opportunity to "upcycle" garbage and everyday objects into something that has both visual impact and a positive impact on their community.

Thank You for your continued support and contributions!
I'm not a programmer, many cheap players from China have the internal TTS capabilities, I thought it was easy to add it to RB.
Pre-recorded voice files are also always going to offer much better quality than on-player TTS just because of most of the more polished PC voices simply won't be available on the player.
Can you point me to some of the "many cheap players" you've seen?
Ok, I'm curious now.As already said before, we have explored the possibility to add a TTS, but it's possible we've overlooked some opportunities.Can you post a few examples of the TTS output (an audio clip) of these players?
The quality is more or less comparable to flite with kal diphone voice. Concerning flite: voice data alone are ~2MB, lexicon is ~ 600kB. Runtime memory demand is ~4MB for various resources + ~1MB for voice building (varies with utterance length). This means that such engine could in theory run on our mid spec hardware (at least 8MB of memory). I didn't try if the cpu power is enough in our case.eSpeak is MUCH less memory demanding but still it needs ~500kB of runtime buffers + at least 1MB for various resources. It is also considerably faster. The speech produced is very robotic like.

Hi Kernos,
Thnks for the heads up. I didn't know Piggot's book was outdated for such a long time, but then again, like I said, I'm not a Celtic scholar. Do you know anything about Lewis Spence book being outdated too? I try searching the history of the book online but couldn't find anything about it being outdated, that's why I posted too. I'd love to know if it is or not, because when I read it, the information on it seems to be so true.
Thanks Again,

MW3 double xp weekend details
Like (0)
I don't know exact times but this is from bowlings twitter
RT @fourzerotwo: Turning on Double XP for everyone on Modern Warfare 3 this weekend! All platforms and playlists included. #MW3
So yes ps3 Xbox and pc will have double xp this weekend
If you use a token for double XP... would that make it quad xp? or would it just be a waste?
From Robert Bowling via twitter:
good to know. thanks
o the boosters will b out full force
Quad it is...
think its quad yeah
Does it start on Friday or Saturday?
To bad I'm not moving from rank 80 >: (
Does Double XP also include weapon XP?
Good question. I think xp from kills goes to the weapon you kill with. Like, if you need 500 xp to get to level 2 with a weapon, that would be 5 kills in a tdm/kc. If so, double xp should correlate directly to weapons as well. Maybe do a search to find out how weapon xp works.
No, Bowlings confirmed on twitter that weapon xp will not be double.
Hes right
You only get double match xp
I've heard it starts Friday romours 6pm and also if you're online already you'd have to log out and back in again for the hot fix to take effect
That could make sense if you are GMT.
I know it is a different game with diff developer, but last year all 2XP was
10AM PST (which is 1PM EST, 6PM UTC/GMT not taking Daylight Savings into account)
Yes I'm gmt
ok so thats tonight at 6pm for all us GMT players right?
I'm on double xp now. 10:14 am in Florida .
Double xp on now.
I would rather have Dubbel XP when we get new maps!
Is it in any game mode? or just collection one list?
Any public game mode
So I was gonna give it a go again this weekend and played last night to get a feel of it as I haven't played in a few weeks. Logged in to play after knocking out the plat for FFXIII, went 40-8, signed out and turned it off. Just boring and I can't see my self playing it anymore.
It probably IS boring shooting people that appear to be just running right at you, not shooting. Shooting 5 feet to the left of you. Getting stuck in doorways, etc.
its 7pm here in NC...and im still not on double xp.....ive logged off many times to see if that was the problem.......but NOPE !!!!! what gives ???
I'm playing over here in California and the double xp kicked in for me at about 12 AM this morning. I've noticed a lot more people online than usual. Go get some boyos
9pm and still no double xp.........imma go buy a ps2....lol
I live in NC also and its now Sat morning and still no Double XP 3-24-12
this is my only weekend off for 3 weeks and this is a little upsetting
Dang, that sucks, man. I'm in Virginia, and I have it. I know it's not NC, but it's close! Haha.
OMG lol this blows.. maybe its trickling down who knows.
how do we know if its working??
Look at your score in the lobby after a game. Then look at the last match summery and look at the top line XP only. Should be double what the lobby score was....
what game is it with double xp
Can i have some help please ????
i've just got to lvl 10th and i used 1 of my tokens on double xp and i has not went on so i used another 1 and that 1 did not go on either what is happening?
If the xp is stackable, is there a limit? If I had 5 coins plus double xp weekend that would mean times 20? Sent a tweet to bowling asking but not sure if that was the right person to ask... just saw his name at the top of this thread. :-D

Have the blues? Nokia announces Lumia colour match contest
Nokia has kicked off 2013 with a new challenge where two selected winners will bag a pair of Purity HD headphones by Monster. Sounds tempting, right? All that's required is for owners of new Lumia Windows Phones to match the colour of their device with an object or surrounding and snap a photo. They emphasise the cooler, more out there, the better. A few examples were provided by the team to get the idea engine started (see above).
Once a photo has been taken and is ready to go, simply comment on the main article with the file (link below) or fire it up into the Twittersphere with the #NokiaLumiaChallenge hashtag for judges to see. Entries will be selected based on how imaginative, inventive and random you've been on finding the most effective match for the Lumia Windows Phone. Photos that make the judges jump up with excitement will have the best chance in making it through, so be sure to get those thinking caps on.
With the array of colours available, particularly in cases and shells for the likes of the new Lumia 820, it should be pretty easy locating the perfect spot for the Windows Phone for it to turn itself into a temporary model. Don't forget to make use of on-screen real estate too. Arrange those tiles, show off the accent colours and enable those Live Tiles to display everything that's personally connected to you.
As with any competition there are terms and conditions that are present and should be read before entering. No Photoshop or post-editing apps are allowed, folks and you have to be either 16 or older. The contest will close on Thursday 8th February 2013, more than enough time to make use of the British weather for those white Lumia handsets that are out there.

This would be difficult for us black Lumia 920 owners
sayonical says:
No not if you get creative :p
alikokce says:
lol True but "we" can make it happen.
WinFan1 says:
Lol I was gonna go with the red accent on dark theme sit it on the black charger stand on the red touchcover in front of the red theme surface with the black and red beats audios around the phone but then thought nah not out there enough lol
EXkurogane says:
Just put it on the road behind a car's tyre and snap a photo. Easy. Also demos how touch Nokia phones are.
hardcoreplur says:
Biggest issue... I don't have a 2nd L920 to take the picture with...
sayonical says:
Haha I have a white and yellow 920 :p
kidjenius says:
Lumia whore ;)
MidahoX says:
i didn't you you can be such a potato queen and rice queen at the same time.
GDannyboy says:
Agreed. Why else would I have another camera when this Lumia 920's is so rockin it?
sholokov says:
I used my red to take picture of the white, showing the red on top of Red touch cover. Confused? Take a look. http://t.co/S9wXDxy
munchcreature says:
the TnC didnt state that the photo must be taken with Lumia, and i bliv u dont have to at all. I bliv u can use DSLR, just no photoshop or after effects. I think they wanna emphasize your imagination n the relation of your desired colors with things around you, it's about showing off the colours, not a contest of Carl Zeiss photography ability...
sholokov says:
Buy me a DSLR and I will use it.
druger81 says:
Too bad it's not any WP. :(. Sent from my 8X.
sayonical says:
Don't feel to bad. The headphones aren't even the new model with NFC and Bluetooth. They also sound terrible.
Daniel Rubino says:
Sound terrible? That's a bit of a stretch as imo they sound quite good, in fact they're the best I own and trump my Sony's.
Headphones are like shoes though with personal preference taking precedent, but if anyone won these I'd hesitate to say that they would be disappointed in fact most normal humans would be quite freakin' happy with these headphones.
I suppose an audio Nazi people can find something to complain about but honestly, who cares about those people...
NIST says:
"normal humans" haahaa
Bilal_Fakih says:
Hehe some ppl should stop posting without knowledge! But I liked what u said "normal ppl" :) anyways thanx Daniel for the info about the headphones! Looking forward to it!!
sayonical says:
Lol Daniel I'm far far from an audiophile. I won both the Purity HD headset and in the purity in-ear buds last year and I've had ample ample time to compare them. The in ear buds are great. Sound quality was decent good miss, bass and lows. The purity HD only had decent mids with little to no bass and forget discerning lows. Its also not comfortable wearing for long periods. All this is of course my opinion :)
NIST says:
You sir may not be normal.
Narr says:
I liked the sound but had the same experience with the comfort level.
upupandawol says:
And the search begins
erzhik says:
Too bad I lack creativity...
MacDaMachine says:
Same here. And the only camera I own is on my 920
Soxpranos says:
Nice,anybody know where can you buy the HD purity wireless headphones in the US? Looked at alot of places online but didn't find any with the wireless HD set? Thanks
ByeVanno says:
my lumia is my only camera so they might be hard to think of how to work it
WinFan1 says:
you could use someone elses phone :)
Vector555 says:
Use a app that allows you to set a timer to snap the picture on your phone. Then hold a mirror?
Mystictrust says:
Good luck, cyan!
HM02 says:
Too bad it's not a pair of the Nokia Purity Pro headphones... I need those mayne.
Aldoron says:
Damnit ny black Lumia 920 is wrapped in a sexy red carbon fiber skin. Hmm...
pokokun says:
same here. I have my Yellow Lumia in a black Speck case.
uopjo6 says:
So DSLR owners have the advantage
EXkurogane says:
It's more to creativity than an awesome photo from a $2000 DSLR. White 920 owner, i'd just head down to a mall's lingerie section, put my lumia on a tray of white bras and panties and take a photo.
Rishicash says:
Someone will put a red or yellow one on a Ferrari and win. Everytime I see the red one I see the Ferrari logo on the back.
LaNiQuE says:
Cool contest im in .... Lol I love Dan and its funny how it went from sounds terrible to an all out comparison and I agree that headphone are a personal choice but like Dan said a normal human who won them would be happy with them

During August 2009, I spent just over two weeks in Canada with my parents. We flew over to Vancouver where we spent a couple of days exploring the city and its sights, such as Granville Island and Stanley Park.
From Vancouver we hired a campervan and travelled north past the wet, misty mountains around Whistler and then the dry, dusty landscapes around Kamloops up to Mount Robson.
At Mount Robson we're almost at the Icefields Parkway, reputed to be one of the top ten driving roads in the world. Our journey took us south along the Parkway, stopping off at Mount Edith Cavell, the Athabasca Falls and Athabasca Glacier, then down into Banff National Park to Lake Louise and the superlative Moraine Lake.
We took a side tour from Lake Louise, into Yoho and around to the Kootenays before heading onto the town of Banff and finally across to Calgary for our flight home.

Turquoise is an opaque Gemstone that has been prized all over the world for thousands of years with some of the oldest examples being those featured in ancient Egyptian tombs dating back to 3000BC. It has been esteemed as a bringer of good fortune for centuries.
Completely natural Turquoise is very rare, and in fact, only 3% of all Turquoise worldwide has not been treated in some way.
These stones are carved from Howlite, which has been dyed beautiful, vibrant colours; the naturally occurring black veins in Howlite, give the appearance of natural Turquoise without the price tag.
Howlite is known traditionally as a calming stone, and is said to calm anxiety and tension as well as to strengthen teeth and bones.

Hornet senior quarterback Landry Gaddis punched it in from 1-yard away to put Ider up 7-0 with nine minutes to go in the second quarter.
The Warriors (0-5) tied the game when Young connected with junior receiver Wade Griffith for a 20-yard touchdown with a minute remaining before halftime. Eric Burgess added the extra point.
The game remained tied at 7 until the 9:50 mark of the fourth quarter. Warrior junior running back Ty Green took the ball off right end and went 25 yards for a touchdown to give Cherokee County its first lead, but Burgess missed the extra point, keeping the score at 13-7.
Green led the Warrior rushing attack with 97 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown.
Ider responded on its next possession, as Gaddis connected with junior receiver Jacob West for a 59-yard touchdown. Justin Lea's PAT put the Hornets out in front 14-13 with 8:44 remaining in the game.
Cherokee County made one last drive down to the Ider 17, but Burgess missed a 38-yard field goal with two minutes to go in the game. Ider took over from there and ran out the clock.
Cherokee County hosts Lincoln next Friday, while Ider hosts Section.

I had posted my comment about what I was wondering if you could create for me on an older post... but not sure if you look back at your older post comments, so thought I'd re-post it...
I was thinking some kind of a unit for telling time to the minute--- 3rd/4th grade level. Maybe a couple of posters in there (your posters are really cute and eye-catching...), maybe a matching game, a couple worksheets, and one other game. I wouldn't need it for a few weeks.
And, I was also wondering what you could make up for polygons--maybe the different types of polygons (quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, triangles)--maybe a poster or two, some type of matching game, or anything else to throw into the unit. just a small unit... I wouldn't need this one until mid- November..
Let me know what you think!

Things you Should Know Abot TN Before Moving Here (for Northerners):
1.What sweet tea(tea with sugar) amd sweet milk (not buttermilk) are. 2.Memphis is Detroit with a Southern accent. 3.No snowdays. Just "ice on the road" days. If the temp goes below 25F, we think a new Ice Age is upon us. 4.110 F is "a tad warm". 5. "Kiss my ass" is a perfectly acceptable way to end an argument. 6. Saying "Bless her/his heart" before you insult someone will safely allow you to drag them through the mud. 7.Toast is unnatural. Eat biscuits like God meant you to. 8. Flirtin' is Southern tradition. It doesn't mean you're getting lucky. 9. If you try to speak with our accent, remember draw out your vowels, y'all is two or more people, and y'all's is plural possessive. Don't blame me if you get an ass-whoopin'. 10. If you don't like it down here, the airline goes both ways. All my exes live in Texas that's why I reside with pride in Tennessee

Tennessee is a wonderful state overall. Everything about it is nice. The people are very friendly. There is no one I know of that wouldn't be glad to help you out with something, like give you driving directions perhaps. Also, the state is beautiful, and has many breathtaking views that will keep you gazing for hours. Don't believe these other people that are not from Tennessee when they say anything negative. Most of it is not true, such as "we are uneducated." In fact, we have great school systems with teachers that actually teach many things that could be considered useful in life one day. Believe me..I am from Tennessee. Does this look written by an uneducated person? Here to defend the state in which I live in, and the best state of this country..the great state of Tennessee. I am a Tennessean, and sure proud of it! Tennessee is one of the best states in this country!!
4. | Tennessee | ||
The most fantastic place in the world to live. If you live in the suburbs, you get great public schools, nice shopping, and those fantastic accents. I miss my home. :(
5. | Tennessee | ||
A state much better than Kentucky and home of the Volunteers!!! ITS Football Time in TENNESSEE!!!

I have lived in Tennessee since I was five. I am an educated individual who knows how to speak English correctly, without an accent. I attended one of the best public schools in the nation. And yes, it is located in Tennessee. I care about social justice issues. And I AM TENNESSEAN. As a Tennessean, I am sick and tired of the stereotypes of my great state. I am sick and tired of hearing that my friends and neighbors are rednecks with little intelligence. As a college student studying in the Northeast, someone recently told me that they were sorry I lived in Tennessee. Am I sorry? NO. These misconceptions about the state are formed by men and women who are themselves ignorant. Such ignorance reflects a lack of respect and real world education. Such ignorance perpetuates misunderstanding. Misunderstanding leads to greater global issues.
Instead, we should recognize Tennessee for its great contributions in ALL genres of music, for its beauty, and for its hospitality. We should respect it for its leading hospitals and for its historic value. This is Tennessee. Similarly, to curb the affects of ignorance we must recognize all states and nations for their great contributions as well. From the ABC show Grey's Anatomy:
George: A southern accent doesn't make you stupid. And neither does being from Tennessee. |

Wish that I was on ole rocky top,
Down in the tennessee hills. Ain't no smoggy smoke on rocky top, Ain't no telephone bills. Once there was a girl on rocky top, Half bear the other half cat. Wild as a mink, sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that. Rocky top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me. Good ole rocky top, Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee. Once two strangers climbed on rocky top, Lookin' for a moonshine still. Strangers ain't come back from rocky top, Guess they never will. Corn won't grow at all on rocky top, Dirt's too rocky by far. That's why all the folks on rocky top Get their corn from a jar. Rocky top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me. Good ole rocky top, Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee. Now I've had years of cramped up city life, Trapped like a duck in a pen. Now all I know is it's a pity life Can't be simple again. Rocky top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me. Good ole rocky top, Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee. Rocky top tennessee, rocky top tennessee. Yeah rocky top tennesee eee eee eee. Tennessee has the reddest rednecks in the world!

I'm having this done and I'm curious if anyone else had this done. A new hole has been cut and wiring has been installed on the wall the backs up to the bottom vanity drawer. The idea is to tuck our blow dryer away in this drawer and keep it plugged into an outlet box that mounts onto the back of the drawer. When the drawer extends I guess the electrical wiring is long enough to reach the full extension of the drawer. I'm worried that as we try to close the drawer that the same wiring going into the outlet box on the back of the drawer will actually impede the full closing of the drawer (either right off the bat or over time). I've seen episodes of BathCrashers where they install outlets in vanity drawers but usually you don't see the behind the cabinet workings of this. We haven't started yet, but this may happen later today so I am curious if anyone has any feedback/suggestions. Thanks so much. Lauren | |||
My thinking is that the constant flexing of the wirecould result in a breakdown of the insulation and be a possible cause of a fire.. BUT-another thought is to have the outlet mounted on the wall and use a coil-cord of the proper gauge to connect it to the outlet in the drawer. Coil-cords are made to withstand constant flexing I'm not a lic,ed electrician so maybe someone with more expertise will answer your question. If no one does, contact your local building dept. electrical section | ||||
I agree I see no way it would even be legal to do something like that. Keep in mind alot of what they show on those shows make's us pro's cringe. I'm sure your inspector would be very interested in see want having done. The way it should have been done is a simple GFI outlet mounted to the wall. How hard can it be to plug in the hair dryer. Even a wall mounted hair dryer like in any hotel would have been far safer thin an outlet in a drawer. joecaption | ||||
Why would it not be legal? Can you site a NEC ruling to disallow it ? Nothing disallowing a GFCI [not an outlet unless downstream of a GFCI] that I comes to mind in that situation. Have I ever done such a setup in a bath? No. Have I ever done that setup in a kitchen appliance garage counter top? Many, but not all that much lately as those cabinet garages stups have become rare. Not to metion a pain to install.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky, "Why isn't everyday Earth Day ?" | ||||
I would think that as long as you used a coiled, braided wire for any part that slides in and out that it would work OK. I've never put an outlet in a sliding drawer but have made many 'hairdryer cabinets" that fit inside a wall cavity and contain an outlet. But in my style the outlet does not move. Jaybee | ||||
Now that I think more clearly about it I also have installed outlets for in_wall ironing boards cabinets as well. "Why isn't everyday Earth Day ?" | ||||
the only thing I can think of that would make such an installation unsafe would be the possibility of putting a running dryer away and closing the drawer | ||||
I too wondered about that as well. "Why isn't everyday Earth Day ?" | ||||
Good idea to check code for your area/state. Friend has an outlet mounted in behind a slightly shortened kitchen drawer. And the drawer has a power strip mounted in it, plug goes through a hole in the back of the drawer and loops down. They can plug in their cell phones and pagers to charge in this drawer. | ||||
I have major big-time worries about heat buildup in this drawer of flammable material. big time. major. as in I wouldn't do this. I grew up as a broadcast brat, in the 50s and 60s, when everything was 7-foot tall steel racks of tubes, tubes, tubes. freakin' tubload of pure undiluted heat. heat kills things. the stuff at the top of the racks had to be very lightly loaded to handle it. telco specifications limit the amount of stuff you can rack up to limit heat. see, every component that makes up electronics has a "derating curve." the curve for everything from complex chips to simple resistors and capacitors basically says for every 10 degrees more, cut the life in half. and switches or the ice cube supplies used in most new hair blowers can fail. I may be getting to be too old a pharte for company, but the only fires I have ever had to deal with are from soldering plumbing (yes, I wet joists and put board in front of them, and I keep a 5-gallon bucket of water and a squirt bottle at my elbow... saved a house once) and loss of one phase of 3-phase on a college campus once. I want no part of the one you are planning to have. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
I wouldn't do this ever. But you should probably look into buying a hairdryer drawer kit which is basically a surge bar on flexible hinged track that aligns with movement of drawer and keeps the cord out of way. This device plugs into a fixed wall outlet. Bathroom must be 20 amp and GFI protected. Fixed 20 amp gfi protected outlet should be installed on wall or inside wall either underneath or above vanity. Every blow dryer comes with a warning label which states you are to UNPLUG when not in use. This is so it doesn't become on for some reason either bump engaged or left partially on. Imagine someone opens the drawer and shuts the drawer and just from the vibration the hair dryer is engaged. How about if someone tosses a bottle of product into the drawer or hairbrush or something and it wedges as the drawer shuts. This is a big violation in my eyes. I would recommend the hair dryer drawer kit and fixed outlet however. Or some sort of sensor slap switch when drawer is shut, outlet will disengage. | ||||
First, thank you everyone that has responded thus far. If we are able to get something done to code, I'll make sure we unplug the hair dryer after use. I am interested in where I would find a hair dryer drawer kit. Did a quick google search and didn't find anything. Anyone have a specific link to share? Thank you again. | ||||
Well, i guess there is this information i can give. http://www.robern.com/onlineca.../pdfs/VDELECTRIC.pdf It says in top left beginning section that a GFCI outlet should be installed onto the wall in backside of vanity. I have no idea the cost of this but it looks really cool how it has wire guide slide thing. Goodluck | ||||

During a bone graft, a donated piece of bone is added to the site of a fracture or other bone defect. The new bone can spur bone growth, bridge a gap in a bone, provide support, and aid in healing. The new bone may come from another part of your body (autograft) or from another person (allograft). Rarely, synthetic grafts, which are not bone, are also used.
Reasons for Procedure
The doctor may recommend a bone graft to:
- Treat a fracture that is not healing
- Reconstruct a shattered bone
- Fill gaps in bone caused by cysts or tumors
- Fuse bones on either side of a joint
- Stimulate bone growth to help anchor an artificial joint or other implant
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a bone graft, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Nerve damage
- Rejection of a graft from another person
- Fat particles dislodge from the bone marrow and travel to the lung (this is rare)
- Anesthesia reaction
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Long-term medical conditions
- Advanced age
- Smoking
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Physical exam
- X-rays of the bone involved
Leading up to your procedure:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners, such as clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin)
- Review with your doctor any herbs or supplements that you take. You may be asked to stop taking some.
- Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery, unless told otherwise by your doctor.
- Arrange for help at home after returning from the hospital.
Depending on the procedure, you may receive:
- General anesthesia —You will be asleep.
- Local anesthesia—The area will be numbed.
Description of the Procedure
The method of treatment depends on the type and location of the bone injury or defect and the type of graft you will be receiving.
Most bone graft procedures use your own bone. The bone is often taken from the iliac crest. This is the bone at your hip, about where you would wear a belt. An incision is made over the part of the bone that will be removed. A special bone chisel will remove the piece of bone. This incision is then closed.
The doctor will cut through the skin covering the area in need of repair. Any scar or dead tissue will be removed from the area. Your bone will then be reconstructed with the graft. The doctor may need to immobilize the bone. Plates and screws may be used during the procedure to immobilize the bone. A cast or brace may be needed after the procedure.
After Procedure
An x-ray may be taken to make sure the bone is in the correct position.
How Long Will It Take?
The length of your surgery will depend on the repair needed.
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. Pain medicine will relieve discomfort during your recovery.
Average Hospital Stay
Your stay in the hospital will depend on the extent of surgery and your progress.
Post-procedure Care
Care depends on the procedure and location of the bone graft:
- Follow your doctor's instructions for changing the dressing and showering.
- Do not smoke. Smoking can delay bone healing.
- Some grafts can fail. You doctor will track progress with x-rays.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions .
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Nausea and/or vomiting that you cannot control with the medicines you were given after surgery, or which persist for more than two days after discharge from the hospital
- Pain that you cannot control with the medicines you have been given
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Numbness or tingling at affected site

Yeah for Sun, No for Weather

About Me Avid Adventurer
Comments about Shade Tech ST100 10' x 10' Instant Canopy by Bravo:
Purchased item during 2011 Black Friday Sales. Excelent Sun Canopy and was used multiple times camping; however, like all canopies it catches the wind easily. So you stake it down. ;) The thing that really started us not liking this product was that during a light rain, it dripped along the seems. The following camping trip, I woke up, to the sound of the canopy collapsing from the rain water that had collected on the fabric. When I called the manufacturer, they referred to this product as an item to be used as a "sun screen" and nothing else. Lesson learned.

Dont buy the insurance
By CB
from Ft.Worth, TX
This is a good product but with strong wind it wont last. That is why I bought the in store insurance. I was told "anything happens to it, it is replaced" It bent in the wind tuck it back twice they told me to call the number in the insurance pamplet cause you deal with them directly. I called told them the wing bent it up, they said "it isnt covered by acts of God". As i then explained to her how else would it be damaged.
Good for events

About Me Midrange Shopper
The whole thing was very easy to set up with the bug screen and all but we had a heavy rain and the rain pooled on top of the canopy and actually bent the aluminum frame. Not very sturdy!

Exactly as described
By JR
from boston, ma
Bought it for the use in the picture, wash/wax a car in the shade. This one is perfect - square 10x10 top to bottom, so not like the ones where the footprint is 10x10 and canopy is closer to 8x8. It stores very well in the included, wheeled bag. Impossible to setup on your own, but takes no time with another person.

Hi all. As some of you may remember, a couple of years ago, I wrote and directed "Orson Welles Sells His Soul to the Devil," a short film set in 1938, concerning, well, what the title says. After a break of a few years, I find myself drawn back to this story, and am about to stage a followup play. MERCURY WONDER SHOW will have its workshop debut this weekend in Los Angeles, and if any of you are in the area, I would love to invite you to see it. Details below:
part of DIME, a directing series of 10-minute plays
When: Sept. 19 & 20, 8PM. Sept 21, 4PM
Where: Cell2, 3301 Beverly Blvd, Silverlake, CA
Cost: $10
This play is set in 1943 Hollywood, during Welles' tent magic show. It is the seed of what will become the second act of a full-length play which I will be working on over the next year.
Hope you can make it.
