Comments about Atlantic Furniture Richmond Twin over Twin Wood Bunk Bed:
This was a great product for my girls. They are all tall and I wanted them to be able to sit comfortably on the bottom bunk without hitting their head. I also needed a clip on ladder because I plan to get a trundle to go underneath the beds. They LOVE them. It is very sturdy, not hard to put together. Very attractive. I am pleased!

The King and I
The Stamps Quartet's frontman reflects on his long history with Elvis
Thursday, October 11, 2007
There are lots of people who list Elvis as their favorite singer. But who were Elvis' favorite singers?
The King of Rock 'n' Roll appreciated all kinds of music, but gospel was especially close to his heart. He called the Stamps Quartet, which formed in Nashville in 1924, some of his favorite singers. He liked them so much, in fact, that he hired them to sing backup for him in concert and on recordings. The Stamps are part of Presley's "Aloha From Hawaii" video and his television special "Elvis on Tour," among other projects.
The Stamps will bring their gospel sound to Peoria when they collaborate with Elvis aficionado Lee Hall of WEEK-TV for a concert to benefit St. Jude on Sunday. Cue caught up with Ed Enoch, lead singer, manager and owner of the Stamps, to talk about the band's accomplishments, the Nashville music scene and what it's like to have Elvis as your boss.
- Danielle Hatch -
The Stamps' history goes back to 1924. What year did you become involved?
I became part of the Stamps Quartet in 1969, and I've been with the quartet ever since. I'm fixing to be here 40 years; it's just amazing. I now own the Stamps Quartet, and I've been carrying it down the road ever since. I'm about the only one actively on the road out of the original members that joined Elvis.
Elvis is the undisputed King of Rock 'n' Roll. But gospel had a place in his heart as well, didn't it?
The only thing he ever won a Grammy for was for his gospel music. He loved to listen to it, he said it motivated him, and he enjoyed it. It was something that he really loved.
What kind of person was Elvis to work with?
He was very sensitive. Of course, you can tell that by his music. He was a giving person and a caring person, but he was very astute at what he did. He was very professional and demanded the same thing out of us when we were working.
Had you been working with Elvis at the time of his death? I can imagine that was a major shock and disappointment for you.
Yes, it was. First off, you lost a dear friend - a family member. And second to that, it was an employer that paid you well and kept us working.
The last three years of his life, we were averaging 14 days a month working for him. And, of course, being able to work the venues and see the crowds ... every night you go to work, there's going to be (up to) 20,000 people there. We (worked with Elvis) for almost seven years, so trying to adjust without him was very difficult.
Do you perform a lot of Elvis' music?
Occasionally we'll do a gospel song that we did with him, or something that he liked. There's a song we do called "Sweet, Sweet Spirit," it's an a cappella number. I tend to do "Sweet, Sweet Spirit" almost every night because (the audience) kind of tends to expect it.
On the Stamps' bio, I see lots of accomplishments: Grammy Awards, Dove Awards, performing at Radio City Music Hall, Grand Ole Opry. Are there certain moments that stand out when you look back on your career?
There was a time span there with Elvis that was almost a fantasy time in my life, a dream that came and passed. Working with him was the ultimate - and I'm not looking at that as financial success. I'm looking at it as an all-around time to be part of a great show, a great period of time.
How did you get started in music?
I started singing when I was a kid. I got with some folks in my church when I was real young, and I could sing harmony. I didn't know how I did it, I could just do it.
By the time I got to be 18, 19, 20, we became kind of popular within a 100-mile radius of Nashville. We traveled as kids, and we didn't know what we were doing, but we were having a nice time. Then I began doing a lot of record sessions in the '60s. Felton Jarvis - Elvis' record producer- heard me sing. He liked what I did.
How does today's Nashville compare to the Nashville of the 1960s?
Nashville was real small back then. It didn't have but three or four studios at that time. Now there's a studio in everybody's house, and every corner down on Music Row, we've got a studio in it.
It doesn't have a quaint feel at all anymore, it's very corporate now; such is most everything. And the music business today is not what I call homespun music. I think there's better music coming out of Nashville now than there ever was, but I don't think with heart.
Tell me something you've learned about Elvis after working so closely with him.
Elvis just adored music, any type of music. He listened to opera, country music, of course gospel, rock 'n' roll. He had a number of records he carried with him. His favorite, of course, was gospel, and I'm not saying that because we're a gospel quartet. But he did speak of opera.
And he was a common man. A lot of people see him in the movies or read something and see him on his motorcycle, in his limousine or whatever. But you know, Elvis would have been comfortable driving a pickup truck, he was one of those kinds of people.

Just wait. One less person hogging up bandwidth on Frontgate's servers tomorrow.
Presale is highly recommended. 2011 I didn't even think I was going to go and I bought a ticket presale and laughed in amazement when it sold out. Last year I bought two to Weekend 2 because I knew they would both sell out so when they announced the line up I wasn't surprized. Coachella to me is about the music as it is to most of the people on this board but it has also become a cultural phenomenon, the hip place go to be seen, and the premier U.S. festival. People worldwide flock to Coachella because they have some of the best experiences, meet the best people, and get the best bands to play. The other festivals sometimes are just mimics or Coachella's leftovers. Should you get your presale ticket? Immediately!!!
For all anyone knows, yes.
2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012b, 2013a
Friday: Sparks, Jello Biafra ..., FOALS, Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, blur
Saturday: Wild Nothing, Portugal. The Man, Violent Femmes, Franz Ferdinand, Yeasayer, Descendents, Moby, Grizzly Bear, Hot Chip, It's New Order, bitch!
Sunday: Cloud Nothings, Tanlines, OMD, Paul Oakenfold, Grimes, La Roux, Eric Prydz, Nick Cave
Same with my buddies. Some who have never been really want to go but they don't have the money at the moment for presale. They keep telling me they'll buy at the regular sale but they don't realize how hard it is going to be to get the regular sale. I'm just going to buy an extra ticket because I know at least one will miss the chance to buy a ticket. If it just so happens that they don't buy the ticket off of me, I'll definitely sell it to one of the boardies.
I bought presale last year because I knew it was going to sell out fast.
I have a meeting at 10am tomorrow, but I'm bringing my iPad. I want this done so I don't have to worry about it later.
just buy your ticket in 45mins or miss out on the fun ...
I hate that I am at work and need to try to finish payroll but still buy my tickets online. This is the worst day for this because I have to go sit in the other ladies office to finish payroll. If I put it off till later this afternoon though I should still be good, right?
AAAH, nervous...had to be away from my office when it started and got on the standby page on my phone. I'm hoping this little message is BS "you will likely not be redirected..."
Upcoming: 05/25/13 - Fleetwood Mac - Hollywood Bowl (Hollywood, CA); 05/29/13 - Arctic Monkeys - Sunshine Theater (Albuquerque, NM); 05/30/13 - The Postal Service - Red Rocks (Morrison, CO); Bjork performing Biophilia - 06/02/13 - Hollywood Palladium (Hollywood, CA); Bjork - 06/11/13 - Hollywood Bowl (Hollywood, CA);
It will be bad. Very, very bad.
You be fine....you can watch online...as it's sold out
Now youre fucked...
buy 'em now...or don't. but you should by whatever you can now. now.

Looking for a new pet? Every Thursday, Bingo Pet Salon, 180 W. Fourth St. in Royal Oak, hosts a pet available for adoption from New Beginnings Animal Rescue.
Visiting this week was Waffles, an 8-year-old, orange-and-white male domestic shorthair cat.
There is definitely a lot of him to love, said Lisa Hill of New Beginnings Animal Rescue. He weighs in at 22.6 pounds.
Although Waffles is overweight, a recent checkup with a veterinarian shows that he is perfectly healthy, according to Hill.
We have Waffles on a diet plan, Hill said. Currently, he is only eating wet food and we are monitoring his weight. Were giving him exercise every week and, hopefully, he will start slimming down.
Waffles, who is front declawed, is extremely affectionate and really enjoys getting brushed.
He gets along well with other cats, and dogs as well.
Nothing really bothers him, Hill said. He would be a great addition to any family.
All animals available for adoption through New Beginnings have been spayed or neutered and have all their shots. To adopt Waffles, fill out an application at Bingo, or online at nbarmichigan.org.

Former Marine and PGA-section-tournament champion Brian Machen assists his students' swings by teaching techniques that he's refined across 12 years of instruction experience. Brian tracks swings using slow-motion and stop-action video, which help to isolate wayward movements so that he can suggest subtle adjustments in stance or switching out polka-dotted sweater vests for plaid polos.

Framed by the rising crags of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Club's 18-hole course incorporates mature hardwoods, immaculate greens, and dramatic elevation changes into a pristine layout that earned a position on _Golfweek_'s list of the Best Courses You Can Play in 2009. Cresting hilltops give way to sweeping panoramas of the natural surroundings, including a 60-foot waterfall stationed behind the 18th green that used to host Gary Player's famed cliff-diving exhibitions. A grass-tee driving range, large putting green, and short-game practice area unfurl across the mountainside terrain, helping players warm up neglected swings. Additionally, players can prepare for an upcoming round with a lesson from Blue Ridge's staff of sage instructors or by scrutinizing the course's splendor from the wraparound terrace of the stately clubhouse.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 72 course designed by Tom Clark
- Length of 7,315 yards from the farthest tees
- Course rating of 75.5 from the farthest tees
- Slope rating of 143 from the farthest tees
- Five tee options
The nine-hole course at The Club at Blackthorne stretches for nearly 3,000 yards of expansive fairways and receptive greens designed by Palmer Course Design Company, Arnold Palmer's namesake firm. Players tee off on the 400-yard par 4 first hole—with the eighth, one of just two holes 400 yards or longer—sending their golf balls flying against a horizon dominated by the Laurel Mountains in the distance. The fifth hole's huge arc of a dogleg presents golfers with a classic risk/reward shot off the tee, much like hitting shots over a pool of lava onto a green made of chocolate. Golfers can attempt to fly the cherry trees in hopes of reaching the green in one stroke—thereby risking a tight lie in the fescue grasses—or they can lay up near the fairway bunker for a short iron shot into the green. The signature ninth hole demands similar theatrics, as a lake and six bunkers team up to force a 200-yard carry just to reach the fairway, and an elevated green renders approach shots trickier than their short length might indicate.
Course at a Glance:
- Nine-hole, par 33 course
- Total length of 2,947 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 68.4 from the back tees
- Course slope of 135 from the back tees
- Four sets of tees per hole
- Scorecard
The Club at Blackthorne's rates fluctuate throughout the week and year. Though The Club at Blackthorne sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
The Madison Club's 18-hole, championship course develops over rolling hills and winds through trees for a layout engulfed in a spectacular setting that incorporates the natural landscape into course play. Multiple water hazards characterize a large chunk of the course, as highlighted on the challenging par 3 17th, a hole that forces golfers to carry a short-iron tee shot over open water and has been lauded as one of western Pennsylvania's best public holes by both the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the fish that cheer on golfers from the green-protecting pond. Though the course cuts through topsy-turvy terrain, the greenskeepers maintain relatively level fairways so accurate tee shots don't end up on unfavorable, sloped lies. After a day at the links, guests can unwind with a light meal from the course restaurant or toast to the memory of broken golf tees with a drink from its full-service bar.

When we heard about the Sync by 50 headphones from SMS Audio, our hearts soared. We hoped that company founder and hip-hop star 50 Cent — or Fiddy, or Fif, or Cent, or Curtis, or whatever the hip-hop cognoscenti are calling him this week — would tap his fabled entrepreneurial skills and no-nonsense business attitude to create the world's first hip-hop headphones that don't at least kinda suck.

Over the past couple of weeks Hewlett Packard has rolled out a huge pile of new consumer products, among them a clutch of all-in-ones, touchscreen PCs and tablets, Beats-enhanced laptops, and even a curious little Wi-Fi mouse.
OK...I'll get this out of the way upfront. Despite the great reviews it's received, before I'd actually encountered it in person I was suspicious of the rCube. Arcam's a company I know and trust, they build a fantasic line of products (including some impressive all-in-one systems), and they know their wireless and DAC design.

"Noise problem is "normal"?"
I have just had a furnace/ac installed - the 90% efficiency gas base furnace by Carrier. The furnace seems to work okay heating but there is a high pitched hum, like someone blowing over the top of an open Coke bottle, coming from the furnace. The install company says this is "normal." After several hours of service calls (during which they discovered and fixed an off-center blower wheel), they are blaming my ductwork when the sound is clearly coming from the unit. If this is what Carrier considers normal, then I would not recommend this brand. I have had a high efficiency Lennox and a high efficiency American Standard installed in the past in very similar houses. These units worked fine and were quiet. Not sure if this is Carrier or the installer, but I am not pleased with the unit.

Have Infinity hvac system installed brand new in one of my rentals and has had to be serviced at least 3 times a year. Average cost is around $400 for labor and they always have to wait for a part which is "covered" under warranty! Both ac & heat are a problem. Will be going with Trane or sears for other properties.

"Should have kept the old 35 year old furnace"
The weather is getting cold so I turned the furnace on. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to find that again it is not working properly. It ran and blew a bit of heat for a very short time before it started making strange noises and blowing cold air only. We have had problems with this furnace since it was a couple of years old. We never needed a repair on the old original furnace that was in the house when we moved in. We're on a first name basis with the repair man. He's a nice guy but I'm getting tired of seeing him a couple of times each Winter. I would never buy a Carrier furnace 58MTA060-12 again. I do not like having a furnace I cannot depend on!

""Bum" Furnace"
I bought a new home in 2007 with a new Carrier furnace; I had anticipated a good working furnace for many years... So far, I've had to bring a Technician in twice because the furnace had broken down...the 1st time was to replace the motherboard, the 2nd time was to replace the blower motor. This furnace has cost me hundreds of dollars (warranty covers parts only and registered Carrier service Technician costs are ridiculous) in repairs already and it's only 4 years old. My warranty expires next year, and I'm dreading what the cost of this "bum" furnace will be then.

"Pretty bad"
I got this furnace newly installed by the previous owner of my house, just 2 weeks before moving in. Summary: o 4 years no issues o next 7 years I had to repair it 5 times, circuit board 3 times and sensors twice o each repair on average $300 (ranging from $225 to $350) o not nice waking up at 5 AM in wintertime with furnace blowing cold air (outdoor temp -20 Celsius or so) o the fan is partially broken, loud noises during start until it reaches "cruising" speed Conclusion: wondering how these guys are still in business. Will never buy another Carrier product unless it has 10 years warranty or similar. I've tried to keep my language clear of the word "crap", you would guess in what context. Couldn't.

I had a 18 yr old furnace that I replaced with Carrier I have had CONSTANT problems and required service calls all the time. I would wake up in the morning and it would just be off, in the coldest time of winter too! my husband and my children and I spent many nights freezing because the piece of crap always broke down. The 1st yr I had it it all began. My old furnace NEVER did anything near what this one has what a RIP .....stay away from Carrier when you call them they say screw you around and blame issues on something other then the furnace. I have only had this stupid thing for 4 yrs and now I hae to replace it yet again :() I am going with Trane I hear great reviews I just want a warm house...... the coin you spend on these you think that wouldn't be too much to ask for?

I hate this furnace, the ancient furnace it replaced may have been inefficient, but at least it ran reliably and didn't need major repairs on a yearly basis. This furnace started acting up within a month of its warranty expiration, where a malfunction in the circuit board started a fire, frying the electronics to a crisp and nearly burning my house down! The fire left charring on the stairs, it was a small miracle the whole house wasn't destroyed. Since then, it breaks down almost yearly. Last Nov. I spent $700 to fix it after it was unable to fire the burner. It needed to be reset constantly until it finally failed completely. Here it is less than 5 months later and guess what? It has the exact same failure. Rather than sinking any more money into this lemon, I'm thinking of ripping it out completely. I never want another piece of equipment from Carrier in my home again. Who builds a furnace that only works for about 2 years? For the cost of this furnace, I expected much more than just 7 years, as it was quite expensive.

The case of a Carrollton man arrested in July for allegedly fatally stabbing a card game opponent, as well as the case of a Clem man accused in the shooting death of his son-in-law, were both continued — or delayed — on Friday until next year.
Roy Lee Gates Jr., 26, was arrested in July after allegedly stabbing Robert Hill Jr. of Carrollton following a "scuffle" over who had won the card game.
Public defender Julie Moore, who is representing Gates, requested the continuance from Superior Court Judge John Simpson Friday, saying she had not received the discovery items from the district attorney's office yet. Several assistant district attorneys immediately told Simpson that Moore would receive the discovery as soon as possible.
Police suspect money was involved in the stabbing, which caused the death of 53-year-old Hill.
The men, along with several others, gathered on Gates' front porch at the house he and his father share on Spring Street in Carrollton on the night of July 15. Gates, Hill and two other men were playing the popular card game spades when the fight broke out. Hill was stabbed once in each leg, in the chest and in the bicep.
The other murder case, that of 68-year-old Clyde Henry Puckett, was also put off to an unspecified date in 2013, after Puckett's attorney, public defender Shikera Turner, said she had not received the results from an independent psychological evaluation yet.
Turner also requested and was granted a continuance in October, saying Puckett needed a complete psychological evaluation.
Puckett was charged with murder and aggravated assault after investigators with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office discovered that a gun located at the Clem residence where the crime took place belonged to him.
According to Capt. Shane Taylor, investigators found Michael Shane Barber, 40, dead from multiple gun shot wounds at the White Oak Court home last October. Puckett had called investigators about the shooting Monday morning.
"A family member went by the house and found Michael Shane Barber unresponsive," Taylor said at the time. "His father-in-law, who called the sheriff's office, has now been charged with the crime."
Taylor said the sheriff's office is continuing to investigate the motive behind the murder, but interviews with neighbors and the suspect revealed that Puckett and Barber had a long-standing dislike for one another.
"It was an ongoing feud between the father-in-law and the victim related to family issues," Taylor said. "We investigated throughout the day, and had interviews with neighbors familiar with the history between the victim and the suspect."
Additional charges were levied against Puckett in June, including racketeering, insurance fraud, arson, theft and operating a chop shop.
Also named in the bill of indictment was Karmen Ann Barber, the wife of Michael Shane Barber, the vicitm in the murder case.
Karmen Barber pled guilty to her charges of insurance fraud and operating a chop shop last month and was sentenced to five years of probation.
Also continued during Simpson's calendar call Friday:
• The case of James Edward Standish, a 19-year-old man charged with homicide by vehicle, among other charges.
Standish's cases (he also has a separate case in which he is charged with burglary) were both continued to 2013.
The attorney for the defendant, Carrollton attorney Allen Trapp, requested the continuance because he said he did not expect to be ready by the Nov. 26 trial week.
Standish was arrested in June after a wreck in which a 20-year-old passenger in his car was killed. Chris Fulford was the only one of the three passengers not thrown from the car because he was wearing a selt belt, but was killed.
The accident occurred in Carrollton on Kingsbridge Road, near Pilgrim's Pride, on June 21.
Standish, under 21 years old, was above the legal 0.02 limit when he was tested four hours after the accident — when tested, the defendant recorded a 0.063 blood alcohol content level.
The defendant was released on a $50,000 bond he received in September.
Standish faces eight different charges.
• The case of Bobby Lee Newman, also charged with homicide by vehicle, as well as serious injury by vehicle and driving under the influence.
Newman, 29, is being represented by Carrollton attorney Jason Swindle, who told Simpson that the state is still wading through multiple depositions, and that he would not be opposed to its request for a continuance. Simpson complied, putting the case off until 2013.
Assistant District Attorney Vincent Faucette said Newman was driving in Carrollton when he was involved in a one-car collision, resulting in the death of one passenger and serious injury to the other two.
Todd Goddard, 27, died from the February accident, and Richard Evans, 25, and Christopher Nestick, 26, were seriously injured.
Faucette said Newman was outside of the vehicle when responding officers arrived, but through witness statements, authorities were able to deduce Newman was driving.
When tested, Newman's blood alcohol level was above the legal limit.

This article will take you through generating RSA keys using PuTTYgen on Windows for secure SSH authentication with OpenSSH.
Contents |
One effective way of securing SSH access to your Cloud Server is to use a public/private key. This means that a 'public' key is placed on the server and the 'private' key is on our local workstation. This makes it impossible for someone to log in using just a password, provided you have setup SSH to deny password-based authentication (which you can learn how to do in this article about SSH).
In Windows we will use PuTTYgen to generate our public and private keys. You can download PuTTYgen from its official website (it might also have been installed with PuTTY or WinSCP). Launch the program then click the Generate button, as seen below. You will notice that it generates the keys for you. All you need to do now is save the public and private keys by clicking the buttons stating as such.
Open up your public key, copy it to the clipboard (ctrl+a, ctrl+c) and paste it at the very end of ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on your Cloud Server. If that file doesn't already exist, you will have to create it (nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys).
To make use of your newly generated RSA key pair, you will need to tell PuTTY to use it when connecting to your Cloud Server. Do this by opening PuTTY and going to the "SSH" -> "Auth" section. Browse to where you saved the keys and load the private key as seen below:
Make PuTTY use the key every time you connect to your Cloud Server by saving this configuration. After loading your key as shown above, go back to "Session" and save your session:
Once you have saved your session, your key will be loaded automatically upon connecting to your Cloud Server.
Opting for a key-based authentication to your SSH server is beneficial in many ways. By eliminating the possibility of SSH brute-force attacks targeted towards your Cloud Server, the chances of it being compromised are decreased by an order of magnitude.

The Ultramax II is comfort height with Sanagloss. It's a 1.28 Watersense
It's one of my biggest sellers, and I have one for my master.
If you want more water, the handle can be held down and it will drop about 3 gallons.
We are in the middle of a gut remodel/addition and never in my wildest dreams would I have thought it would take so long to decide on toilets......
I'm set on Toto, dh not so much. But here are our requirements
1.6 (a must for DH)
one piece (mostly because of made in USA)
comfort height (mid 50s at this point, but this is hopefully our last home and I've heard this is so much easier as we age)
Sanagloss (have read great things about it here and another forum)
Thought I had decided on UltraMax, then realized I can't get both comfort height and Sanagloss on this one. The only option to fill all of our wants is the Ryohan, it is just so contemporary and squatty looking.
So, which is more important to you? Comfort height or Sanagloss?

Cheating by changing the flapper valve so it stays up longer would get you a 1.6g toilet, but that's just a waste of water! Go for the II, and if you decide you really need more water, there are easy ways to achieve that.

Thanks guys, I will pass along this info. We put a Carolina II in the MIL apartment and he hates it, so I will tell him about holding the handle down and see if it helps.
If a 2-1/8" trapway isn't working for him, perhaps he needs the Caroma's 3" trapway. Caroma has the largest trapway out there.
For situations where there is a medical issue, it's what we recommend.
If a toilet clogs, more water isn't going to help! A bigger pathway may be the needed solution. But, not all toilets are created equal, so one shouldn't condemn the 1.6/1.28g classes as a group.

I realize 1.2 from all accounts works as well as 1.6. He wants 1.6, no medical issues.
I'm just curious which you would rather have, comfort height or Sanagloss.
Thank you for your time.
We have a Promenade that is comfort height, round, with sanagloss and now a Dartmouth that is comfort height, elongated, and no sanagloss (not available).
They look the same and so far are functionally the same. To be honest, the Sanagloss on the Promenade still lets things stick and after a vacation allowed a small red ring of mold to form. A quick cleaning takes care of it, but so did cleaning a non-Sanagloss toilet. So if the SG is available, go ahead and get it, but so far I don't regret not getting it on the Dartmouth.
I find that mine with SanaGloss are easier to clean and keep clean verses my old ones. No toilet self-cleans itself and if you're coming from an old gully washer that used 3.5 to as much as 7-8 gallons on a flush, you will notice. Streaking is very much dependent on diet, hydration, and literally, how you sit on a toilet. Toto's seats tend to have a fairly significant dish to them, positioning things for optimum disposal...doesn't always work, never will, everyone's different.

Thanks Jim. I've decided to forego the Sanagloss for comfort height. We've got comfort height in our current house and are used to them and as we get older I think they will be easier on the joints
I've never had a hard time cleaning a toilet, mostly the slight ring after being gone a couple weeks as Anthony mentioned. And I'm sure the non-sanagloss Toto china is better than some toilets we've had in the past! After this I hope I never have to give this much thought to a toilet ever again..... now on to bath tubs.
I would just go with the Ultramax II and if you want a little more water in the flush, swap the flapper for a Korky adjustable 3" flapper (which allows you to set how long it takes to close).
I don't understand some of the abbreviations you are using, but what does the other person hate about the Carolina II in the (other?) apartment?
Those of us that grew up with toilets that used from 3 gallons to as much as 7 gallons of water per flush have a difficult time believing that you can get a quality flush with 1.28 gallons of water. Average height people also don't really realize the difference the extra couple of inches make in a toilet's height until Father Time catches up with the knees. I fall into the latter class. Now if I have to use a standard height toilet, it reminds me of hunting in the great outdoors and having to answer natures call. Standing up after sitting with my butt lower that my knees requires painful and difficult effort and makes me appreciate the Comfort Height toilets at home.
wjcandee, we built a shop with what is referred to as a mother-in-law apartment upstairs in it. Not sure why the husband (referred to as DH) doesn't like, but after reading Gary's post I think he has hit the nail on the head. That and husband is a wee bit hardheaded...... UltraMax it is. I think
Thanks everyone!
NM may have a significant rebate for a 1.28g toilet, that may not apply for a 1.6g. Might be worth looking into.

Not that I did that…..
You decide to show up to work with an OK Go shirt saying:
"Sorry, Boss, my work shirt wasn't clean."
When in all truth it was, you just wanted to share your OK Go Fandom with all the customers.
5:54 pm
…you spend five whole dollars on a magazine just to get ONE picture of Damian, when there are literally thousands of photos available online.
…you go to Chicago by yourself to see two shows.
…you tell people that what you want for Christmas is for them to buy OK Go CDs for themselves.
…you keep track of how many purchases of OK Go CDs you have personally and directly caused among your friends and relations.
I'm a new boardie, and I'm so glad to be here!! Thanks for having me. After Cincinnati and Chicago, I NEED to connect with other OK Go fans. I'm sure you know the feeling.
"Just make the things you really believe in, and they'll have a chance."

3:20 pm
-Your relationship with your best friend became better after both reaching the same level of obsession
-You buy a tie for $67 just because it says "OK Go" and "Blessed by Dan, Tim, Damian and Andy"
-You check ebay everyday to see if anything you don't already have has been posted yet
-You stand outside in a dark parking lot in downtown San Diego for nearly 7 hours, in the rain, in hopes of meeting the guys. (And being extremely successful, by the way. Met all but Andy )
-Your best friend and you make a myspace site dedicated to loving OK Go and forget all about your other one
-You family starts to get worried about all the money/time/energy you are putting into the band
-For four weeks in a row your top listened to band on last.fm was OK Go and not the Beatles, which has only happened once before.
-You go to four different stores looking for the DVD
-You take down a Beatles poster to make room for OK Go posters
-The people you hang around with get annoyed with how much you talk about OK Go
-You say, "ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok GO!" and know what it means
I have more, but class starts in two minutes!
OH! You ditch class because you find it much more interesting to read stuff about OK Go and google pictures than it is to learn about Psychology.
4:40 pm
"Just make the things you really believe in, and they'll have a chance."
"The less you observe your restrictions, the more likely you are to succeed."
4:43 pm
It's actually just that class, the teacher is incredibly boring, I can barely manage to keep my eyes open for more than ten minutes. Other than that, no class has been ditched in the honor of OK Go and learning more about them.
4:50 pm
Oh! I have skipped more than just that class. I skipped two days for their concert, I figure I didn't miss any days before then, so why would it hurt?
Turns out one of the days I skipped was the day an essay was due and the day I was supposed to present. I was able to make it up, but it was late.
when you JUST realized, after four years taking karate and over a year's time obsession w/ Ok GO, that the japanese for five is "go"… actually, I heard my sensei say "Go", jumped, then realized he was counting for us…not talking about Ok Go.
and… when you sneakily suggest to your parents a trip to northhampton to visit the colleges out there, when you're in reality planning in advance for the next time Ok Go plays Noho. (if there is a next time… darn them, getting so popular.) (if Ok Go doesn't play Noho, then Tally Hall might… they did recently… so I'll be good anywho.)
…. when every acronym with W in it get automatically converted to meaning A Million ways in your mind.
DWA – Designated Waiting area- … but really A million ways.
12:24 pm
ha! i know what you mean
My friend was telling me about all these funny AMV's** he found on Youtube and seeing that particular acronym with "Youtube" confused me for a good 10 minutes or so. Our conversation was like,
me: "yeah, i showed those to you AGES ago"
him: "ummm…it says here that it was uploaded 12 hours ago"
me: "…errr…….."
him: "…unless you're considering time relative to the lifespan of a fruitfly, and then yes, you could potentially have shown these to me ages ago….but you didnt."
(Ten minutes later)
me: wait….what does amV mean?!?!?
** AMV = anime music video, apparently
haha, yeah… the AMV/AMW thing always confuses me.
there's a kid in my karate class who reminds me of Rusty… he's pretty cool, but he's a lot younger (seventh or eighth grade… so maybe not a lot a lot.. but enough)
you correct random people on spelling Damian's name.
I do that all the time, it annoys random strangers, but most people who know me at all expect it.
.. you're at marching band camp learning marching basics while playing your instruments, & the instructors tell the woodwinds to remember to breathe, & you AUTOMATICALLY think &/or say out loud "not breathing can cause you to die."
& then you giggle &/or smile dreamily for at least 10 minutes.
I'm not in band, but I had a panic attack a while back (ritalin and a close friend's mom's funeral is a VERY bad mix for me) and my friend who was in the car with me was like "just breathe" and I thought of the pingpong video which calmed me down for about two seconds, but then I started giggling a little bit, and since I was already gasping for breath that didn't really work out at all, so I went back to panicing. yeah. good story.
YKYOW… you go to a concert that's not OK Go and still end up making OK Go references
YKYOW… You have no problem with your friends burning your DVDs/CDs, but when they want to burn an OK Go CD/DVD you insist that they have to purchase something of equal or greater value from the OK Go store first.
7:41 pm
Haha, I do that. I went to see The Fray and my other OK Go loving friend and I stood there most of the 2.5 hours quoting and laughing about different things in the OK Go DVD. It was tons of fun. But then some friends of ours showed up who don't listen to OK Go at all and are sick of us talking about them constantly, so that kinda put a damper on it. But it was fun while it lasted
9:40 pm
Hahaha " border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Yyyeeesssss.
* the universe seems to be aligning with your obsession. This morning driving to work, I'm singing (badly) along with "What to Do," and right when "Mediocre people do exceptional things all the time" comes on, I shit you not, a van pulls up to the intersection I'm about to cross, with "Exceptional Plumbing" in big letters on the side. My eyes fell on "Exceptional" right as I was singing "exceptional."
(I also think the phrase "exceptional plumbing" is pretty funny. lol)
* you write yourself a note at the next stoplight to mention 'universe aligning' moment on the board in the YKYOW thread that night ….. " border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
I love those moments!! So fantastic. And I toooottally do the exact same thing with writing little reminder notes to yourself for doofy things
- you get through writing maybe one full paragraph in a long-long-super long essay and feel compelled to reward yourself with watching an OK Go vid or going to the boards or doing something OK Go-related.
- in the midst of a conversation, you unconsciously start talking like Damian. (you all know how he speaks – the mannerisms, etc.)
11:52 pm
–When you've converted your entire suite into Ok Go fans (for example, my suitemate Rachael got the setlist at the show and got all the guys to sign it so she can frame it and put it up in her room)
–When your friends wonder why you didn't buy anything at the show and it's because you already had it all (except the sweater but you didn't have enough money for that)
–When you get pulled onstage by the band, you can tell your mom the entire story (using band members' first names) and she knows how amazing it is because she knows how obsessed you are with the band.
12:54 am
Haha " border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Awww man. That's so awesome ^^
- you console – okay, moreso simply remind – your very recently broken-up-with sister: "I mean, he ain't no Damian Kulash…" Please disregard/ forgive the double-negative. (and no worries; she's just peachy. it was more of a fling. and it actually ended well…)

One would think the senior Texas senator's reputation would be secure: Cornyn, who has ascended to minority whip, spent two election cycles as chairman of the Senate's Republican campaign fundraising arm, and National Journal last week ranked him second in its 2012 list of the most conservative senators.
But with the departure of Kay Bailey Hutchison, his more moderate fellow Texas Republican, and the arrival of the state's unabashed new junior senator, the Tea Party darling Ted Cruz, Cornyn seems to be shifting discernibly right, as evidenced, Republican observers say, by his recent positions on everything from cabinet appointees to a bipartisan immigration plan.
Cornyn's aides say that this perception is not reality and that anyone looking at the last few weeks rather than the last 11 years is missing a solid conservative voting record.
"Sen. Cornyn has relentlessly fought for a conservative agenda -- first in Austin, and now in Washington," Megan Mitchell, his spokeswoman, wrote in an email, adding that Cornyn "is proud to have Ted Cruz in the Senate and looks forward to working together on behalf of 26 million Texans."
Since New Year's Day, when Cornyn voted for the tax bill to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff and Cruz, who had not yet been sworn in, said he would have voted against it, the Texas senators have not parted ways on any legislation of note.
It may be, some observers suggest, that Cornyn, a hard-line conservative, is feeling liberated after years of seeking middle ground with Hutchison.
"Hutchison was putting more pressure on him to vote in ways that maybe weren't always in concert with his principles," said Matt Mackowiak, a Republican consultant and former Hutchison press secretary. "He's voting more like his principles now than before."
It may also be that the Senate's No. 2 Republican, who is up for re-election in 2014, is an astute observer of his party's shifting sands.
As the leader of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Cornyn watched Tea Party candidates upset Republican incumbents in each of the last two primary cycles. While those in more conservative states won their elections, others lost to Democrats who might have been ineffective against more moderate opponents -- leading establishment Republicans to blame them for blowing an opportunity to gain control of the Senate.
At home in Texas, Cornyn witnessed Cruz snatch a Senate seat out from under Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the deep-pocketed Republican candidate who most believed had the 2012 race in the bag.
Even Karl Rove, the political mastermind who is credited with helping Cornyn get elected to the Senate, has taken note, spearheading the Conservative Victory Project to help establishment Republicans make it out of their primaries against far-right opponents.
Although Cornyn says he is prepared for a primary challenge, his prospects of getting "Dewhursted," as some Texas Republicans have taken to calling it, appear slim.
"The real fallacy that exists right now is, 'Ted Cruz did it, so I can do it,'" Mackowiak said. "It's impossible to do to Cornyn what's been done to Dewhurst."
For one thing, there is no obvious Cruz-like challenger waiting in the wings to challenge Cornyn. Thus far, he has one primary opponent, military veteran Erick Wyatt of Rockport, a self-described "constitutional conservative" who is aligned with the Tea Party. The only name party operatives utter, and even then with skepticism, is state Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, a conservative radio host who is "not looking past June" -- the end of the Texas legislative session -- his staff says. Nor is there early evidence of a Democratic candidate likely to give Cornyn a run for his money in the general election.
For another, Cornyn's seniority, national fundraising connections and key Senate leadership post are valuable assets that make him less vulnerable to the rumblings of the far-right interest groups that called for his head after his reluctant vote for the "fiscal cliff" deal.
Since then, both Cornyn and Cruz voted against U.S. Sen. John Kerry's confirmation as secretary of state, notable because they were two of just three Senate Republicans to do so. Cornyn, who has voted against several of President Obama's nominees, said Kerry had a "long history of liberal positions," while Cruz said he had a "less-than-vigorous defense" of national security.
They are both taking a hard line on a bipartisan blueprint for immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship, saying securing the border should be the priority.
They both voted against the renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, which passed overwhelmingly in the Senate, though their rationales for doing so were different. Cruz said that it was a states' rights issue; Cornyn said a provision about tribal courts violated the Constitution.
And they have both been key players in efforts to block former U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel's nomination as secretary of defense. Cornyn, an early opponent of Hagel's nomination, led the charge to ask the president to withdraw it. Cruz made national headlines for his aggressive, pointed questioning of Hagel.
When Cruz was asked whether he thought he was having an effect on Cornyn's politics, he said, "John Cornyn and I are working together very, very, closely, and I think Texas is well served by having two senators work hand-in-hand to fight for conservative principles."
Debra Medina, a Texas Tea Party activist and former gubernatorial candidate who is weighing a run for state comptroller, said those who share her political beliefs distrust Cornyn, though they hope Cruz is pushing him "to that more ideologically consistent place." But she added that "while there are some politicians that are never going to get a pass from the Tea Party, who we'll never want to work with or support, Cornyn is not by any stretch in that category."

Karlskrona2 is being presented at Casco as a pilot model for other developing cities. Superflex has held discussions with Dutch specialists in the field of urban development and virtual cities in order to further develop the model. Superflex is particularly interested in the growth of the city of Utrecht; through the Vinex project 'Leidsche Rijn', Utrecht will increase in size by almost a third in the next ten years. Linked to these developments, Superflex will test the usability of the virtual city Utrecht2 for the Leidsche Rijn project. The Danish artists' group Superflex works as a coordinating element between art, business and various areas of research. Their projects vary from the construction of an energy system for equatorial regions and the building of a virtual Swedish city, to managing the record label Supermusic. In 1997 they launched their Biogas project in a small village in Tanzania. In collaboration with the Danish and African engineers they developed a simple, portable biogas unit which is able to produce enough gas to fulfil the cooking and lighting needs of an entire family in Africa. translation: Annable Howland see also: Superflex interviewed by the Modern Institute.

Overall, I like this cabinet but was very disappointed with the fit of the top insert. For the price, I would expect the top insert to fit perfectly but the radius doesn't even come close to the cabinet radius. I had to force it in and even then, there is a gap due to the mismatch. I would also like to see all 4 casters swivel. It makes moving it around a lot easier.

I liked my first one so much I bought another one. Good for garage tool organization. The work top is reversable with metal or wood top depending on the surface you need for the job. Minimal assembly. Just put on the wheels and it is ready to go. I recommend buying padded drawer liners to keep things quiet when you roll it around.

I love this cabinet, I bought it to cut glass on top and the drawers are perfect for holding all my small glass pieces. It is a great project cabinet. Very well made, the drawers roll smoothly.

Craftsman Professional 5-Drawer Mobile Cabinet - Platinum, these match our tall locker type cabinets and they do look nice. Again, these are heavy duty and hold a lot of stuff. This is a great set of cabinets. To me they are pricey, but to my husband they are not. Great product.

I purchased the mobile cabinet as a replacement for the RTA 5-drawer module that didn't work for my Professional workbench. The mobile cabinet works out perfectly to provide the needed space for storage. It comes fully assembled except for the casters, and those require a little modification. It appears that the holes were drilled before the powdercoating, and as such they are smaller than the bolts to hold the casters on. I had to ream them out with a drill bit before they would accept the supplied bolts. Once upright, it's surprisingly easy to roll into place, which was nice as I have a limited amount of space to maneuver in. However, the drawers do not close evenly or flush to provide that nice finished "Professional" appearance. I have to go through every one and line them up once I'm done. Other than that, it will hold a large amount of supplies and materials to keep your workspace clear and usable.

I bought 2 of these carts. The drawers are solid and strong. l love the way they look overall except for the top. The top is made of bent square tubing to form a good quality frame for the the cart. Then inlaid on the inside of the tubing, is a piece of hardbord with a sheetmetal top. Again, a good idea, the problem is that the curves of the inlaid top do not match the curves of the bent square tubing of the frame. This make an akward gap at the front of the cart. I am keeping them because overall they are good quality and look good in my garage. I will be putting my own butch block wood top on them to cover up the poor fitting top they have provided for these carts.

We own two of these cabinets because they are so sharp and match our workbench and tool sheds. They are both smooth when opening the drawers and hold strength in design.

I have purchased many different types, styles and grade of tool boxes and storage boxes over the past 30 years and many claim to be "high quality". Those that are truely professional grade come with a hefty price tag that make buying one for use outside of a commercial shop anything but practicle. This box fills the need for use in all those other applications outside of a commercial shop, where apperance is important and medium duty is expected at a reasonable price. Even though this box does not rise to the level of a professional grade box, such as a "Snap On" does, this box does not have the price tag that comes with Snap On and other commercial boxes. The high pionts are its apperance especially when used in ares where others may see it, the "glide " of its drawers, the heavy duty casters and its overall quality of construction. I am using the four boxes I purchased in a clinical/medical application wherein patients may see its use and the typical bright red box will simply look out of place. Therefore, the true professional boxes I own are not an option. These boxes do fit this need well. Now comes the three short comings: First, yes "Maggie" those holes drilled for the caster are the wrong size. As in other reviews, people have commented that the screws are too big for the holes for installing the casters and they are. To avoid the eventual frustration of trying to force the caster screws to tighten, I would suggest that one simply plan on enlarging the 16 holes just a little. Second; the caster even though they are heavy duty, they limit how the box may role. If all four catsters had swivel construction like the front two, the box could role in most any direction. However, the back two casters are fixed, thus limiting how you move or role this box. Finally, the depth of the drawers is seceptively shallow . The box itself has about four inches of wasted space. Instead of having the drawers fill the entire depth of the box, they run 3-4 inches short. If you do not have a bunch of oversized wrenches this is not an overwhelming shortcoming; yet why not construct the box to maximize the storage capabilities. Overall, is this the perfect storage box? No not really. Is it a great box for the price, when on sale, absolutely. Michael, Crescent City Ca.

I bought the Craftsman 5-Drawer Mobile Cabinet, Garage storage on sale. I purchased the product because of its aesthetics, dimensions, the number of drawers, and its mobility. The cabinet was 98% assembled and the only item really to assemble was the caster wheels. It seemed to be an easy feat to complete the remaining 2% of the assembly. Bad initial conclusion on my part. The screws were significantly larger than the holes drilled on the bottom of the cabinet. I have assembled many different products over the years, but have never had this issue. I attempted several different methods of tightening the screws, but finally ended up drilling bigger holes for the screws to be able to tighten and complete the product. I would have expected that for the price of the product (even on sale), Craftsman would have at least made the holes big enough to tighten the screws without having to drill them. Another issue is the depth of the drawers (limits the size of the tools set in some of the drawers). However, this was not a major issue for me (but might be for others). Also, the top panel had a few scratches on it, but was not a major issue for me. It definitely will get scratched at some point, but would have preferred it be by me. Outside of these items, I would still buy it again and it has been a welcomed addition (organization) to my garage. I also bought the 5 foot workbench, see my review on that for some other comments and issues with that product.

The University of Minnesota has been awarded a $1.5 million Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education to establish a Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) at the Carlson School to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and competitiveness.
The University is one of three new CIBER centers added to the network, which now totals 33. Located at higher-education institutions nationwide, the centers serve as regional and national resources to business people, students, and teachers at all levels.
With a mission to advance the knowledge and understanding of global business issues to transform leaders, markets and solutions, the new center plans to focus on three key themes: emerging markets, environmental sustainability, and less-commonly taught languages. The U of M CIBER will serve businesses and educators in Minnesota and is expected to also become a resource for Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
"Business outreach and collaboration with companies on international issues have long been a hallmark of the Carlson School of Management," said Michael Houston, Carlson School associate dean of International Programs and U of M CIBER director. "This grant will build on and leverage what we're already doing to further benefit companies, educational institutions, and other units within the University."
Houston and Anne D'Angelo, assistant dean of International Programs, spearheaded the grant application which was supported by Minnesota's Congressional delegation and the governor's office. The University will match federal funds it receives over the next four years.
"Being awarded a CIBER adds depth and breadth to the University of Minnesota's and the Carlson School's increasingly diverse international portfolio, and is further recognition of our dedication to introducing students to the world at every opportunity," said Meredith McQuaid, associate vice president and dean of the University's Office of International Programs. "The grant will result in connections and outcomes that will benefit our campus, our community, our region, and our world."
The center expects to introduce several business outreach activities that will better expose regional and national business leaders to sustainability as a competitive advantage and the opportunities and challenges that exist in select emerging markets.
"We have a new full-time MBA curriculum that includes a required emerging markets-focused course within the Global Discovery Program," said Houston. "The students will be split into three groups: one group will go to Chile, one to China, the other to Turkey. They will get direct exposure to and investigate the nature of these three emerging markets. As part of our CIBER efforts, upon their return, we plan to host a symposium where the groups will share with businesses the opportunities and challenges that exist in each of those markets."
For educators, CIBER anticipates providing:
- A summer institute for K-16 language instructors with the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA).
- A summer program for K-12 teachers on an international business topic through the university's Institute for Global Studies.
- Increased involvement of language instructors in study abroad programs.
One proposed language-focused initiative, said Houston, is to include a Chinese language instructor on a Carlson School short-term trip to China. "The instructor will provide language exposure to our students on the trip, while receiving valuable exposure to the nature of business in China that can later be incorporated in their curriculum and better position them to convey and teach Chinese business language in the context of Chinese business."
Officials are currently conducting a search for the center's managing director and will begin operations in the early fall.
Created by Congress in 1988 and administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER network links the manpower and technological needs of the United States business community with international education, language training and research capacities of universities across the country.
