An ex-wall street consultant, a deli owner across the corner and the neighborhood grocery all have something in common. They are small and they need simple ways to scale their businesses. For the first time they can have free lunch.
If you are a small business, you can run a free website on Wordpress, manage customer service through twitter, promote yourself through FaceBook, print invoices, manage customers and hire through Zoho. But while you do that, you stay away from serving those hot bagels or equally hot stock tips to your customers.
TechAffinity can help you manage the complexity. We design websites, integrate them with social apps, run campaigns and send text messages for your customers. When you want to grow, we could do cooler things like setup your CRM, manage your website upgrades, build your inventory systems and more.
We are technologists and good fellas rolled into one. We could help with technology gigs so that you can change the world or your neighborhood.
Talking about changing the world, we work with valley startups, product firms and technology poster boys. We build iPhone apps, opensource based products and maintain your high traffic applications and product developments, so that you could raise your series-x funding without bringing your company to a halt.
These are good times if you are a small business owner. Marketing is democratized. 'Word of mouth' could be measured and oriented. Enter the days of Likes, Feeds, Tweets and Badges.
It's one thing to hop onto social media technologies and its another to sustain & thrive in the noise. TAG has been there with old media houses & helped them embrace technology. We can do that for you, so that it doesn't get all overwhelming!
Over a virtual cup of coffee, we could iterate on what you need, what your customers need and then code the hell out to build, consistently maintain & constantly evolve your web presence.
We build websites, products and widgets for the web and the mobile, when you are just up and running. When you transform to an enterprise, we can build your IT systems for recruitment, sales, customer relationship, fulfillment and more.
We love open source. In translation it means "We bring you the best in class. We bring'em cheap". We treat other technologies like Mainframes and Microsoft with dignity. We go well with them too, as some of our big boy customers love them.
What a small business needs from IT can be articulated in 3 ways
- I don't want to re-invent the wheel
- I want it on autopilot
- I want it to be cheap
Once in a while we've had startups that want to build that next big thing in the web and mobile. We have obliged.
TechAffinity has listened to several like you, in the past and we think
- Open source is good for websites and there are tools for most things a small business does. (We can stitch them together)
- We could build, maintain, evolve and manage web presence, while you manage your business
- Good code lasts for long. That which lasts for long costs less in the long run
For those startups, we get down to the trenches like a co-founder, to help decide build vs. buy, open source vs. proprietary tech, cloud vs. traditional, php vs. ruby, desktop vs. mobile. For startups and small businesses, we tell the good from the evil on every aspect of technology management and actually implement these decisions hands-on.

I have about 9 hours of sick time, but I work until 11 pm, am the "asleep overnight" staff at another house (unpaid), work there until 10 am, and then work here until 12:30 am on Monday. I sort of hate my job.
Wow. That's something to see.

Russian Tea Cookies - Hetalia
1 cup of butter (salted or unsalted is fine)
1/2 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 cups of flour
1/4 teaspoons of salt
Nuts: Chopped walnuts or almonds, or nuts of your choice
Filling: Jam or preserves of any fruitDirections:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar in an electric mixer. Add vanilla, flour and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Roll spoonfuls of dough into small balls, and place them on lightly greased cookie sheets, each ball about an inch apart.
- Press down the center of each ball with a spoon, making an indent. Fill with jam or nuts.
- Bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cookies to a cool, flat surface.
- When the cookies are cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar.
- Complete!
Recommendations, suggestions, comments from me:
- When I first made this, I used Ugandan vanilla, and topped the cookies with Concord grape jam and apricot preserves. I highly recommend apricot preserves— so delicious! ;o;
- Great if you're vegan, since this doesn't use eggs.
- This is great with tea, warm milk, hot cider, and in the wintertime. <3
- Great for gatherings and tea parties, for you Lolitas out there! >w<
Original recipe source: Mrs. Fields Cookie Book. (The best cookie book EVER, guys.)
So, Kuikuri brought this recipe of hers to my attention, and I finally got around to making them the other day. Oh man, were they good. A little plum jam in the middle, and it was like heaven. So I figured ya'll might want in on this fine recipe, too.

Imaginary Landscapes
CD (Item 427764) Hat Now (Switzerland), 1995 — Condition: New Copy
Classic electronic and percussive compositions by John Cage – performed here with sounds from a wide range of sources – including drums, cymbals, radios, turntables, and a number of other recordings! The performance is the first to actually bring together all of the different strands of Cage's Imaginary Landscape compositions – written between 1939 and 1952, and still light years ahead of their time – beautifully recorded here, at a level that's far greater than might have been the case in the 50s! Direction is by Jan Williams, and the performance features the Maelstrom Percussion Ensemble, plus assorted artists working turntables, radios, and other source recordings! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Hey Guys !!
And welcome in a thread who should be rather dynamic these next months
I introduce miself. My name is Nicolas PATEY, I'm 29 I'm French (what justifies my poor English level) and I worked in the Games Workshop Company for 7 years. First as K-timer in the Caen Store (in Normandy), next as Manager in Aix en Provence (sooth France) and to finish, nearly 5 years in the Event as painter. Then I left to open my own Store in my homeland, the Normandy.
So efter 2 years, GW offer to me to become a PREMIUM store and I accept. As "PREMIUM" GW asked me to make a gaming table for the French Games Day.
Well, the idea is to make a Big Ork fortress attack by a Big Ultramarine force.
Nothing very particular, but I dicaded to make a Warlord Titan for the Imperium and an Ork Mega Gargant for... Orks
So end of writing, let see pics !!
Here is some wood boards which will be the base of the structure
Same boards cutted...
And assembled
Thats all for today, but I give you rendez-vous next tuesday for the legs !!

5 miler today, 11 miler two days ago.
Training for Hartford Half Marathon, sub 9 min/mile pace.
It takes a fast car, lady,
To lead a double life.
This summer I lost about 35lbs. I still have more to go but if I stick with what I've been doing I should be able to reach my goal by Coachella. I'm back at school now and I'm able to work out 5 days a week. Best I've felt in years too. Along with working out I've been playing racquetball twice a week and I walk my dog three times a day now. I also have way more energy because I've been eating better. I've been doing portion control and a lower carb diet. I'm not depriving myself of anything, just eating way less. I cut my carbs down to under 100g per day and I've been eating lean proteins. I also haven't had anything alcoholic since the end of May. Thanks for the motivation guys.

With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
So I've lost 80 lbs total now in the last 2 and a half years... 181 is the lightest ive been since probably early high school. I also just joined a crossfit gym to help me build tone up and shred this last little layer of fat. Coachella 2013 will be glorious
Ever since football season started I've been drinking a ton of craft beers and eating much worse.
Gonna have to start working out 4-5 days a week instead of 3. Plus wayyyyyy more cardio.
I'm gaining a wonderful tan from going in nature naked and hiking a few miles. It's been since June since I've smoked a cig. Switching up diet to a pescatarian one currently. Pain in the ass, but my energy is already getting better.
No keep smoking more ganja.
Use it as a reward for getting shit done... if you dont do what you need to do, then dont smoke. but if you get your shit done then reward yourself... try and scoop some low calorie snacks like skinny cow... Also, when you get munchies, drink a big glass of water.
...a cool, cool beverage!
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
I found an "Eat This, Not That" book at work and read through it. Some of it was REALLY surprising, and I recommend picking up the latest version.
If that's your strategy with pot, its not working. You need to lay off the blue dream. #1 munchies inducer. Come out on a long backpacking hike someone with us (the goat/I) - I come back from the weekend and look in the mirror: Sexy tan, trimmed, and the leg muscles are getting nice. I'm not a gym person at all, but I can hike a few miles with a ton of weight, definitely prefer that over the ballsweat smell and meat market that is LA Fitness Hollywood.
I started cross fit on top of my dieting yesterday... Wow that is a workout, let me tell you. Since starting my diet I have lost 10 lbs, but I don't feel the difference yet. I am hoping my body responds well to this training. I need to lose about 20 more.
Still fat.
Whiskey Sour
2 oz blended whiskey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp powdered sugar
1 cherry
1/2 slice lemon
Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, and powdered sugar with ice and strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon, top with the cherry, and serve.
I'm running a half marathon tomorrow. I am a bit worried b/c my right quad muscle has been hurting slightly, only when I run. Not so much that I have to stop the run, but I haven't run 13.1 miles in quite a while.
We're here to play some Mississippi Delta Blues. We're in a horrible depression, and I gotta admit - we're starting to like it.
You should learn how use a foam roller, it's saved my knees so far and would be great for your quads

The Arts Annex Grand Opening September 4, 2012. The Arts Annex houses new rehearsal, studio, and programming spaces for student artists and organizations and is also the new location for the Duke Bikes Program.
Biology Professor Mohamed Noor is one of dozens of Duke professors now experimenting with the flipped classroom model, which largely discards the traditional lecture and instead uses recorded lectures and other materials that students must review prior to class.
To officially welcome sophomores to their new majors, the Academic Advising Center, the Sophomore Class Council and Duke Student Government hosted the inaugural Academic Homecoming: A Major Celebration March 20 on the main quad on West Campus.
Jennifer Modliszewski, Duke University biology PhD student, collects tissue samples from monkey flowers in a Duke greenhouse. Modliszewski is studying how broad changes in the number of chromosomes affect the Mimulus' ability to evolve.
Alumni share stories of struggle, triumph, and resilience, encouraging Duke undergraduates to pursue studies they care about.
The persistent, dependent use of marijuana before age 18 has been shown to cause lasting harm to a person's intelligence, attention and memory, according to an international research team.

Dresden, Germany Tourist Attractions
Top Tourist Attractions in Dresden
Capital of the Land of SaxonySituationDresden lies in a wide basin in the upper Elbe valley, which extends for a distance of 40km/25mi from Meissen to Pirna between the foothills of the Eastern Erzgebirge, the steep scarp of the Lusatian granite plateau and the Elbsandsteingebirge (Elbe Sandstone Hills). Dresden has been favored over the centuries by its beautiful setting, its agreeable climate and its location on important trade routes.
The Zwinger in Dresden is a fine example of Baroque architecture. Aside from its striking and impressive architecture, the Zwinger is famous for its collections of porcelain and scientific instruments.
Beyond the portico of the Picture Gallery in Zwinger lies Dresden's Theaterplatz, one of Germany's finest squares. In the center stands an equestrian statue (by Schilling, 1883) of King John, who made a name for himself as a student and translator of Dante.
Semper's Opera House
The west side of the Theaterplatz in Dresden is dominated by the Opera House, the second opera house built by Gottfried Semper on this site (the first one having been burned down in 1869). Like Dresden's Picture Gallery, it is in the style of the Italian High Renaissance. From 1878 until the end of the Second World War it was Dresden's most magnificent theater; after wartime destruction it was restored between 1977 and 1985 very much in its original form.
Old Town Guard-House
At the southeast corner of the Theaterplatz in Dresden is the Altstädter Wache (1830-31), designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel on the model of the Guard-House in Berlin.
Southeast of Dresden's Theaterplatz stands the Taschenbergpalais, a Baroque palace (by Pöppelmann, 1707-11; side wings 1756 and 1763), also rebuilt after wartime destruction. In front of the palace is the neo-Gothic Cholera Fountain (by Semper, 1843), which was brought here in 1925.
Catholic Court Church
The Hofkirche of Dresden, built between 1738 and 1755, was raised to cathedral status in 1980.The site of the church, at the end of the bridge over the Elbe, was chosen by the Elector as a position commanding the Elbe area. The church, in Italian High Baroque style, was designed by the Roman architect Gaetano Chiaveri. After his departure in 1743 the work was continued by Sebastian Wetzel and others. The church was consecrated in 1751 and finally completed in 1755.During the devastating Allied bombardment of 1945 the interior was burned out and most of the vaulting collapsed, leaving only the tower unscathed. The church was restored after the war.The exterior of the church is striking, with its 85.5m/280ft high tower and its 78 statues in niches and on the balustrades. Notable features of the interior are the processional ambulatories, Balthasar Permoser's magnificently carved pulpit (1722), the altarpiece of the Ascension (by Mengs, 1750-51) and the Silbermann organ (1750-53), Silbermann's last and finest work. In four burial vaults are the remains of kings and princes of Saxony. An urn contains the heart of Augustus the Strong; his body was buried in Krakow.
Nepomuk Chapel
The Nepomuk Chapel in Dresden, with a Pietà and an altar of Meissen porcelain by Friedrich Press, was consecrated in 1973 as a "memorial chapel for the victims of February 13, 1945, and of all unrighteous violence".
Opposite the entrance to the Cathedral in Dresden, at the end of Augustusstrasse, stands the Georgentor, the first part of the Schloss to be restored after the war (1964-69). On the west side is a Renaissance doorway from the original building. The sculptural decoration, including the equestrian statue of Duke George, was the work of Christian Behrens.
Langer Gang
The Langer Gang (by P. Buchner, 1586-91) in Dresden, well restored after the last war, is a long wing linking the Georgenbau of the palace with the Johanneum. Along its inner side is a long Tuscan-style arcade with 22 round-headed arches which leads to the Stallhof (Court Stables), the tilt-yard, the horse-trough and horse-pond.
Procession of Princes
In Dresden's Augustusstrasse, on the outside wall of the Langer Gang, can be seen the famous Fürstenzug, a 101 m/330ft long parade of Margraves, Dukes, Electors and Kings of the house of Wettin, together with leading figures in the arts and sciences, commissioned to mark the centenary of the Wettin dynasty. This great mural in sgraffito technique (by Wilhelm Walter, 1870-76), was later (1907) transferred in the Meissen manufactory on to 24,000 porcelain tiles, covering a total area of 957 sq. m/10,300 sq. ft.
Until February 1945 the Dresden Neumarkt was perhaps the most picturesque square in the Baroque city. It is now occupied only by the ruins of the Frauenkirche.
Transport Museum
The old Stallgebäude (Stable Building) in Dresden's Neumarkt, now the Johanneum, also dates from the late 16th century, with alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries; the external staircase was added in 1729. From 1722 to 1856 it was a picture gallery, and since 1956 it has housed the Transport Museum (Verkehrsmuseum; railroads, urban transport, motor vehicles, shipping, air travel; special section on the history of the bicycle).To the left of the main front is the Schöne Pforte ("Beautiful Doorway"; not restored), a jewel of Renaissance architecture (before 1555) which was originally the entrance to the palace chapel.In front of the Johanneum stands the Peace Fountain (Friedensbrunnen), originally the Turks' Fountain (Türkenbrunnen).
Bruhl Terrace
A flight of stairs leads to the open area known as Bruhl Terrace, often referred to as the "Balcony of Europe".
Highlights: |
The Albertinum, built between 1884 and 1887, is a world-scale art gallery with an impressive collection.
Highlights: |
From the busy Pirnaischer Platz, Ernst-Thälmann-Strasse (1954-57), Dresden's main east-west artery, runs west to Postplatz. This is the beginning of the new city center developed since the Second World War.
On the right-hand side of Ernst-Thälmann-Strasse in Dresden is the old Landhaus (by F. A. Krubsacius; restored), a building in early neo-classical style with a double Roccoco staircase. It is now occupied by the Museum on the History of Dresden (Museum für Geschichte der Stadt Dresden).
On the left of Ernst-Thälmann-Strasse in Dresden lies the Altmarkt, the city's central square since the 13th C. (destroyed in 1945). It owes its present handsome and imposing aspect to the use of typical Dresden Baroque architectural forms in the rebuilding which began in 1953.
Church of the Holy Cross
The Kreuzkirche (early 13th C.) is the oldest church within Dresden's town walls. It was completely destroyed in 1760 during the Seven Years War, after which it was rebuilt in its present Baroque form (by Schmidt and Exner, 1764-92). The famous Kreuzchor (choir) dates from the original church.
Cloth Hall
The new district north of the Town Hall has preserved something of the atmosphere of old Dresden with its little lanes, passages and courtyards. In this area is the restored Baroque and neo-classical Gewandhaus (by J. F. Knöbel, 1768-70), now a hotel. To the rear of the building can be found the Baroque Dinglingerbrunnen. In Weisse Gasse is the 19th C. Gänsediebbrunnen (Goose-Stealer Fountain).
Palais Marcolini
To the west of Dresden's old town, in the district of Friedrichstadt, a planned development initiated by Augustus the Strong in 1730, stands the Baroque Palais Marcolini, which dates from around that time. Much altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, it is now the District Hospital (not open to the public), but preserves some of the original interior decoration. Napoleon and Metternich met and negotiated in the Chinese Room in 1809. The east wing was occupied by Richard Wagner in 1847-49.
St Matthew's Church
Near the cemetery in Dresden stands the Matthäuskirche (1728-30), with a burial vault containing the tomb of its architect, Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann (1662-1736); there is a commemorative tablet on the church.
Eastern Districts
Public Health Museum
To the southeast of Dresden's old town is Lingnerplatz, in which (No. 2) is the monumental building (1928-30) occupied by the German Public Health Museum, an institution established to promote health education and healthy living. Among the exhibits is the famous "Glass Woman", first displayed in 1930.
Great Garden
From the front of Dresden's Public Health Museum the main avenue (Hauptallee) of the Grosser Garten runs southeast. In these gardens, laid out in the French style from 1676 onwards, is the Palais (by J. G. Starcke, 1678-83), the earliest and one of the most imposing Baroque palaces in the Electorate of Saxony. Around it are a number of Kavaliershäuschen (lodgings for members of the court) and groups of Baroque sculpture.
Church of Christ
In Dresden's eastern district of Strehlen, to the south of the Grosser Garten, can be seen the twin-towered Christuskirche (1903-05), the purest example of Art Nouveau architecture in Dresden.
Museum of Technology
In Dresden's Blasewitz district, some distance away from the Grosser Garten near the bridge over the Elbe, is the Museum of Technology. Its most important collections are in the fields of electronics and micro-electronics, computer technology and electronic data-processing, precision engineering and photography. Other interesting exhibits include musical boxes, gramophones and the early forms of "peep-show", ancestors of the cinema.
University of Technology
To the south of the old town in Dresden is the University of Technology, originally an Institute of Technical Education established in 1828 which from 1900 onwards expanded to occupy a whole district of the town.
Russian Orthodox Church
The Russian Orthodox Church (1872-74) has onion-domed towers. It contains Russian icons over 200 years old.
New Town
Dresden's "new town" on the right bank of the Elbe suffered heavy damage in 1945.
Golden Horseman
In the Neustädter Markt in Dresden can be seen the statue of Augustus the Strong (1736) known as the Golden Horseman. He is depicted in the pose of a Caesar, wearing Roman scale armor and seated on a curvetting horse.
The Blockhaus (by Z. Longuelune; rebuilt) in Dresden's Neustadt was originally the Neustädter Wache (Guard-House; 1755).
Museum of Folk Art
In Dresden's Neustadt, now half concealed by recent buildings, is the Jägerhof (1568-1613), a Renaissance building which now houses the Folk Museum. Most of the material comes from Lusatia, the Erzgebirge and Vogtland.
Japanese Palace
The Japanisches Palais (enlarged in Baroque and neo-classical style in 1727-37 under the direction of M. D. Pöppelmann) is richly decked with chinoiserie. Originally built to house Augustus the Strong's collection of porcelain, it now contains the study collections of the Provincial Museum of Prehistory and the Museum of Ethnography.
Liberation Street
The Strasse der Befreiung runs north from the Neustädter Markt in Dresden.
Museum of Early Romantic Period
On Dresden's Strasse der Befreiung, once the home of the 19th C. painter Wilhelm von Kügelgen, is the Museum of the Early Romantic Period.
Church of the Three Kings
On Dresden's Strasse der Befreiung stands the Dreikönigskirche (by Pöppelmann and Bähr, 1732-39), completely destroyed in 1945 and now in the course of rebuilding.The only surviving quarter of Baroque burghers' houses in Dresden is to be found in this area, particularly in Rähnitzgasse.
Museum of Military History

Among its treasures is one of the only three surviving Maya manuscripts.
Loschwitz and Weisser Hirsch
Blue Wonder
Between the outer districts of Blasewitz and Loschwitz in Dresden the Elbe is spanned by the Loschwitzer Brücke, popularly known as the "Blaues Wunder". This is a steel suspension bridge with a span of 141.5 m/464ft which at the time of its construction (1891-93) caused some sensation.
Dresden Cableway
From Körnerplatz in Dresden a cableway (1895: one of the oldest in Europe) runs up to the residential district of Weisser Hirsch. At the upper station is the Luisenhof restaurant (fine views).
Elbe Schlösser
Dresden has three Schlösser on the Elbe: Albrechtsberg (late neo-classical), the Ligner-Schloss (after 1850; late neo-classical) and Schloss Eckberg (1859-61; neo-Gothic).
The Schillerhaus in Dresden belonged to the Körner family (commemorative tablet on Körnerweg 6). Schiller lived here in 1785-87 while writing his play "Don Carlos".

Pilnitz Palaces
The palaces of Pilnitz represent some of the finest palaces from the time of Augustus the Strong. They can be reached by boat.
Highlights: |
Dresden Heath
The Dresdner Heide is a popular recreation area to the northeast of Dresden, an expanse of wooded country traversed by small streams, 50 sq.km/19sq.mi in extent. In the center of the heath is the Saugarten (footpaths).
On a hill above the Elbe at Gross-sedlitz, 16km/10mi southeast of Dresden, lies one of the most perfect Baroque gardens in Saxony. It was laid out in the French style between 1719 and 1726 for Count Wackerbarth as a pleasure garden attached to one of his palaces. After the estate was acquired by Augustus the Strong in 1723 it was given its present Baroque form by the best Dresden architects of the day (M. D. Pöppelmann, Z. Longuelune and J. C. Knöffel). Stille MusikOf particular beauty is the Baroque staircase with curving balustrades and groups of putti known as the "Stille Musik" ("Quiet Music"). It is now established that this was designed by Pöppelmann.During the summer months there are frequent festivals and dance displays in this beautiful natural setting.
Dresden Music Festival
The Dreseden Music Festival runs for two weeks from late May to early June and includes a wide array of events, including operas, classical concerts, recitals and dance performances.This is considered on of Germany's largest festivals and since its inception in 1978 has focused on a different theme every year.Regular performers include the Dresden State Opera and the Berlin Philharmonic, while other participants come from around the world.There are usually over 70 different events which take place in various impressive venues, including the Semper Opera House, the Dresden Cultural Palace, the Albrechtsburg Meissen and numerous castles, theaters and parks.
Schloss Moritzburg
Schloss Moritzburg began as a modest hunting lodge in the mid 16th C but was converted into the present day palace in the 18th C. The old lodge and its chapel can still be seen.
Highlights: |
The main feature of interest in Radebeul, lying just northwest of Dresden in a beautiful setting is the Lössnitz landscape reserve.
Karl May Museum
The Karl May Museum which has an exhibition commemorating the popular 19th C. writer of adventure stories and Europe's largest collection of material on the life and culture of the North American Indians.
Museum Hoflössnitz
The Hoflössnitz Heimatmuseum is housed in a Renaissance building of 1650.
Tharandter Wald
The Tharandter Wald (area 6,000 hectares/15,000 acres), now a landscape reserve, lies southwest of Dresden on the northern edge of the Eastern Erzgebirge, between the Wilde Weisseritz to the east and the Colmnitzbach to the southwest. It is the largest expanse of woodland within easy reach of Dresden after the Dresdner Heide, and is a very popular recreation area with the population of the city.

The huge tree that would have slammed down on her Tuesday afternoon lay across her front lawn and on top of her 2005 gray Honda Odyssey. Its roots were now exposed, and the ends of its limbs scraped the eaves of her home.
Its weight, however, lay squarely on the vehicle that moments earlier Holaday and her daughter were sitting inside.
They'd just pulled into Holaday's Kenwood Drive home in West Rome during heavy rains and winds. Groceries sat in the car waiting to be brought inside, but Holaday broke with routine and left the items behind as she and her daughter fled in-doors.
"Normally, I'd have just waited in the car and waited until the rain stopped," Holaday said.
Holaday went to her kitchen and looked out the window. The sky had grown dark, and she told her daughter they should sit in the living room. Some five minutes had passed since they'd gotten inside.
"And when we walked back to the living room, the tree fell," she added.
The sound, Holaday said, was "horrible."
A neighbor quickly ran to her home and checked on her, knowing she'd just pulled into her driveway. Holaday and her daughter were uninjured, she said.
"I'd be dead," Holaday added. "I would have had a heart attack."
Tuesday's storm toppled trees and sent powerful winds across the county, knocking over Sherold Salmon's hay barn on Barron Road. Salmon has some 200 acres in the area, but the storm pummeled just two of them. His barn crumpled underneath the rafters, and about 15 to 20 trees were felled.
"All the cows are OK," Salmon said. "Back where I've got them, there's no damage."
His tractor, however, was inside the barn at the time.
Scotty Hancock, Floyd County's emergency management director, said the storm led to no flooding or blocked roads. The most damage was limited to the Armuchee area.
Some 50 buildings were without power Tuesday afternoon. Hancock said he expected their power would be restored quickly.
The National Weather Service states there's a slight chance of rain and snow before 9 a.m. today. It'll be partly sunny with highs around 50. Wind gusts could reach 35 mph.
Tonight will be mostly clear. Lows will dip to about 31. Winds could gust to 15 mph.
Thursday's forecast calls for sunny skies with highs around 57. Wind gusts could climb to 15 mph.

Originates from the Aussie folk song "Waltzing Matilda" in which the hobo ("swagman") refers to his precious swag as Matilda. Thus "waltzing matilda" literally means "walking across the outback". From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback I waltzed my matilda all over

BT-STAR-HL with star-shaped opening |
These forward acting Bursting discs are suitable for a wide range of low to high pressures. The triple section design minimises the risk of fragmentation, at all pressures, with its star shaped opening formation.
To achieve lowest possible tolerances the breaking points are introduced utilising state- ofthe- art laser production technology. An integral vacuum support guarantees full vacuum resistance irrespective of disc Size, up to DN 600 (24").
The burst element is downstream (venting side) of the process, away from any corrosive media, thereby providing problem free production in corrosive media processes. Operating Ratio of the BT-STAR Disc is 80% of the burst rating.
In applications below 1 barg the BT-STAR Disc can be installed directly between companion flanges, without a companion holder.
For medium to high burst ratings the entire assembly, including the sealing membrane is constructed of stainless teel. When used with a flat seat IG-HL Burst disc holder the assembly provide absolute leak-tight integrity.

text: [That's still not self-charging. An alternative to solar cells on the roof, which as discussed above would not make a significant contribution, would be an RTG. A 60 kg RTG can produce more than 300W electrical power which could be used to charge the batteries at all times, including overnight and when the car is parked under cover. 300W is inadequate so a larger RTG would be required. If you drive your car 6% of the time (about average) then your "self-charger" must supply at least 6% of the vehicle's average power consumption when in use (ignoring charging losses). For the Leaf this appears to be 15kW (above) so the self-charger must supply 900W, corresponding to a 180kg RTG. Whether RTGs designed for space flight would have adequate shielding is another question. ]

Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement

the best website ever. I want to fuck a bitch on Bangbus
1. | Bangbus | ||
A 'reality-porn' website where three guys (mainly D. Sanchez, but his real name is Greg Entner) around drive in a van and pick up random girls and fuck them. But the videos that they show aren't showing everything. Before that bitch gets in the van with the three guys, they actually tell the girl what she's in for, and that they'll pay her a shit load of money to pretend that it's not staged, and to be cooperative. They also first check to see if she is over the age of 18, and if shes got any STD's. Then the girl actually signs a legal contract saying that she has understood everything, and that she is willing to do this, and that she cannot change her mind. Then she is payed, and then 'legally' fucked. And then at the end, without the girl knowing, they actually do ditch her in the middle of nowhere, but she has been already payed. bangbus is so fake, but wtf its porn
2. | bangbus | ||
Who gives a cow's ass whether it's staged, the bangbus is the fucking shit!!!! Long live the bangbus!
3. | bangbus | ||
An idea created by a couple of jackasses who like to pretend they are getting strangers to fuck them, when in fact they're staging the whole thing. The fags on the bangbus are really just sloppy cunts.
4. | bangbus | ||
A website that produces porn videos involving some guys going out to pick up chicks for a false purpose and then slowly urge them to have sex. Popular amongst rape fanatics, few people know that the thing is actually completely staged. Then they end up leaving the girl in a very remote place far away from home. Why is it staged? Mainly because, doing anything like that is completely illegal, its practically kidnapping and almost rape. After all the 40-50 chicks they got you'd think of em would go to the police or something, the website is extremely popular and well known. None of the girls ever cry either, its like every single one of them is completely willing.

It all began years ago.
But right now, ve're all zat are left.
Zere might be a plan, there might be a story ahead, but right now, we just need to survive.
Just six of uz left now:
Experiment DS-X9
I'ze nezer heard him talk. Sometims, when he's full and happy, he might hum a little and during a fight I've heard him buzz, but actual werds, nezer.
The professor uzed to call him 'zer guard dog'. I don't think he sleeps I've not zeen under hiz bandagez, but I think the wiring procesz did someting to his brain. I'dz rather stand behind him in a fight, put it zat way.
Steef Rat.
Heez a smart guy. Built zat gun out of what we could grab before ze castle fell. Look up in zee big picture. He'z ze one hiding behind ze wall, staying well behind DSX9. Like I zaid, smart guy. I getz worried zat hiz body might be unstable - his face and the zun don't like each ozzer. If ze melting get'z too bad, maybe we'll have to do a leetle corrective zurgery. Have to find a donor firzt.

Did not like
By saicha
from Bainsville, ON
The Tanzanite gems were dull and grey-looking. There is no symmetry to the design and I did not like the fact that the ring sits completely flat on your finger. I was disappointed and sent it back.

Pretty but does have shortcomings ...
By Gabriella
from Montreal
Overall, the one that I received was very pretty, but the diamonds? They're grey, lack any luster and if this is the best that could have been scattered in the setting, the ring would look better without them because their quality cheapens the overall perceived value of the ring. How important are the diamonds, well, that's up to you. For me it was a disappointment, but still I've kept the ring as overall, it is quite pretty. So, do I say yes to the ring? Yes, but buyer be aware.

Dainty & Pretty Ring.
By SHARON
from KIMBERLEY
The Tanzanites were a bit paler than I expected but clear and shiney and the diamonds are cloudy, but all in all it is still a very pretty ring. For this price I'm keeping mine.
Pretty and dainty
By shop till I drop
from Collingwood
For the price this is a beautiful little ring. Actually it isn;t all that little. I expected it to be the colour it was from the website. Inexpensive tanzanite is this pale mauve/blue colour. I accented it with a tazanite band for my index finger and the look is dynamite! Add the hoop earrings and it is quite an ensemble. It looks great with denim and blue as well as grey. Glad got it. I have deep purple tanzanite from the "Old Mine" and that colour is very rare now.

Love Love Love My Ring!!!
By Jessyka
from Alliston
I was given this ring as a gift for my 31st birthday from my parents. The tanzanites are beautiful... That beautiful deep purplish blue with lots of burgundy reddish flecks that come through... and my diamonds aren't cloudy... Really happy with this ring.... Guess I am a very lucky one :)
Love this! I must be lucky
By NATASHA
from OAKVILLE
I love this ring: I call it my snowflake ring. The one I received had colours not like this photo, but more like the photo of the matching necklace. I love the colour since I wanted the blue-purple that I saw on TV that day. Its not deep tone, but a cool, soft lilac tone. The ring wears very well - low profile so it doesn't catch on things and looks modern and beautiful on my hand. I am often getting compliments on it. Its feels great on my hand - and with no nickle, I can keep this piece long term. The only negative is that the diamond chips are too small to see - who cares! I've enjoyed all my purchases from Gems in Silver.I've been wearing and loving it for months. I must be one of the lucky ones!
Tanzanite ring
By CARMEN
from Canada,ON,MISSISSAUGA
I guess I must have been one of the lucky ones too as my tanzanites look a very deep lilac in colour. Can't say much about the diamond accents, but then that's all they are...accents totalling .05ct, so one can't expect much out of that kind of size!!! So I'm keeping the ring after all! Wish Howard would bring us back the ring sets he used to before, as I miss them!

By LEONORA
from Canada,ON,NORTH YORK
I love tanzanites and bought this ring because I thought it was good value and I could afford it. Imagine my disappointment when I received the ring and found the stones to be almost colourless. At night the ring should have had some sparkle but it looked absolutely dull. I had no alternative but to send it back. What I expected was the colour, especially in the tanzanite, that is similar to that displayed on your website - you can see the difference between the colour of the ring and its matching pieces (which are much duller).

By CHERYL
from Canada,BC,SURREY
what I love about the ring is the band and the setting. However, I too received a ring with stones that were extremely washed out and colorless. I had also purchased the pendant, and unfortnately the stones in it were also dull and colorless. Howard, I normally love your pieces. You could really make this up to all of us by putting this ring and setting together again with some beautiful vibrant stones of any color! PLEASE! The band was so beautiful and comfortable, but with regret I sent both the ring and pendant back. I will still purchase Howard's pieces.

Happy Monday to one and all! Now that another week has started, it's time to take another look at the complex lives of those non-player characters with another episode of Non-Player Chronicles. This week you'll see a historical reenactment of the ancient art of bartering, a father and son share a special bonding moment during a bloody kung-fu fight, a widow grieves, and what life as a building inspector on the Red Planet is like, especially during an armed uprising. Join us, won't you? Everyone knows the story of the main heroes of the games we all play and love. Link's adventures have been well documented, Master Chief has been given three stories to let his tale be told, and for years, countless other main characters have gotten the attention they so richly deserve. But what about the other entities? The so-called "lesser" characters, the behind-the-scenes shop owners, villagers, and background sprites? Isn't it entirely possible that they too have deep and rich stories to tell? ...

Burraco is a card game for 2 or 4 players. It originates from South America and belongs to the Canasta family of card games. These days Burraco enjoys strong popularity in Italy. When played with 4 people, 2 teams of 2 players are formed.
The game is played with two complete decks of french cards complimented with 4 jokers. Each player receives a hand of 11 cards and two extra sets of 11 cards are set aside as 'pots'. Pots act as replacement hands later in the game. The remaining cards, placed face-down on the table, become the draw stack. The uppermost card of the draw stack is then taken and placed face-up on the table. This card then forms the play stack.
To take their turn, players begin by either drawing one card from the draw stack or by taking all of the cards in the play stack. Having drawn, the player can then meld cards to collect points for his/her team. Melding is achieved by placing card combinations, as explained below, on the playing field. To end his/her turn, a player must dispose of one unwanted card to the play stack.
Players can meld two different types of card combinations;
* Groups - 3 or more cards of the same face value, regardless of suit.
e.g. Q-Q-Q or 5-5-5
* Sequences - 3 or more cards of the same suit in ascending order. Aces may feature either below the 2 or above the K in a sequence.
e.g. ?6-?7-?8-?9
Melded cards combinations can be added to in later rounds. Once a meld has 7 or more cards, it is then termed a "buracco".
The game closes once a player/team has reached a pre-determined score limit (either 505, 1005 or 2005 points). New rounds will be dealt until the set score limit has been reached.

From the air, the building is quite shockingly round but from ground view, because it is so large, it slopes gently around and disappears into the planned landscape. The building will be constructed to hold 12,000 employees under one roof with some of the world's largest panes of glass sloping around every bend. The spherical shape of the building allows for more windows than a square shaped building and therefore more ambient light, so those 12,000 employees won't constantly be clicking on their light switches. Jobs and team plan to add 60% more trees to the landscape and have hired a top arborist from Stanford to help make sure those plants are all indigenous. The building is only four stories high and to help minimize surface parking on the space by 90% — there is a huge asphalt lot there now — the Apple team is putting most of their parking underneath the structure.
As for energy for the building, Jobs said, "we deal with people sitting at computers all day writing software. If power goes out on the grid, we get to send everybody home. So we have to have backup power to power the place in the event of brown outs." Solution, Apple plans to build their own energy center on site that will be powered by natural gas "and other clean sources" which will be their main source of power with the Cupertino grid acting as their backup system. Let's hope those "other clean sources" make up a lot of this new spaceship campus' power as we all know natural gas isn't the best thing in the world. We think Apple should round out their green design by placing some shiny solar panels on their spaceship's roof, or perhaps some tower wind turbines out in the soon to be forest.

Yeah apparently the architects don't want to get embarrassed. Like novels or film directors never put ones name on your product.

Interesting how this article makes no mention of the Architect for the building….
Robertjm June 9, 2011 at 1:56 pm
What's crazy about it.
If you think about what Apple has done in the last ten years,
or just the last two, which is revolutionize the digital environment, you have to think
this will be one of the smartest structures in the USA, not to mention style-oriented and functionally outstanding.
As Jobs pointed out, they've been buildling ( stores) all over the world and might have learned a thing or two. -

Chris has been intuitive and sensitive for as long as she can remember with a deep yearning to serve others and help them within their lives. In fact during a session with the guidance counselor, she blurted out she wanted to be a psychologist. Now this may not sound note worthy, but it was an inspired comment as the angels came through her to speak the loving truth as this was not part of the family dynamics or her universe.
When you begin to truly take care of yourself, put yourself first and honor your dreams, yearnings and goals, the universe hears you and obeys.

Powers Park lineup packs a punch
TROY — The Powers Park concert series returns to 110th Street and Second Avenue Saturday night for another summer of free music.
Vito Ciccarelli, the special events coordinator for the city of Troy, said Powers Park is looking at its strongest musical lineup yet.
"We upgraded the bands this year. We took it up a notch with the schedule," he said. "Except for two acts, it's a completely revamped lineup. We wanted to kick it up and increase the attendance figures."
Ciccarelli says this year's lineup is just plain bigger.
"Some of the bands I brought in this year are very solid draws. I'm not saying we had bad bands before, but we have a different level this year," he said. "We have more well-known, bigger bands. For instance, Solid Smoke, who we've used in the past for a Motown tribute, is coming with a full horn section. They're a very solid draw with a different demographic, which I'm trying to hit this year more than past years — zero in on particular groups to try and get a different crowd in addition to what we've had over the years."
This year, the season begins with two dance parties featuring Funk Evolution (July 7) and the Refrigerators (July 14). The season comes to a close with Bluz House Rockers on Aug. 25.
"Bluz House Rockers has been around for more than two decades. Everybody knows what the Refrigerators are like. They're both rock-solid bands. When I heard Funk Evolution, they just blew me away with the quality of music. Matter of fact, they finished first in the Metroland Readers' Poll for top party band in the area. They beat the Refrigerators, who have had the stronghold on that title for years," Ciccarelli said.
"We had Nitro Jive (July 21) play Powers Park a couple years ago, and they played Troy Night Out last year," he said. "The difference between then and now is incredible. They're just playing at a higher level for whatever reason.
"And, I'm reaching out to different swing dance groups," Ciccarelli continued. "We might even bring in a dance floor for that show."
For Country Night on July 28, Carmine Dio & Roaring Thunder will perform. Continued...
"They've long been recognized as the top country band in this area. Carmine will be debuting his latest CD, 'Boys Night Out.' This is just very, very high-quality stuff. I'm very excited to get Carmine into the lineup. I've been a fan of his for quite a while," Ciccarelli said.
On Aug. 4, Powers Park hosts Emerald City, a group Ciccarelli considers the best rock band to ever come out of the Capital Region.
"They reunited last year after 30 years of being apart and have not missed a beat," he said. "Last year they played Troy Pig Out and they also headlined the Uncle Sam Jam. They just did the opening spot at Alive at Five. They are the best rock 'n' roll band I have ever heard in this area, bar none."
On Aug. 11, Solid Smoke will bring a full horn section to headline Motown night.
"They're probably the best soul/funk band in the Northeast that I've heard," Ciccarelli said.
On Aug. 18, Al Bruno, who has played the Powers Park series every year, headlines.
"Al traditionally is a very large draw. He's brought in 500 people in a pouring rainstorm. Al's been performing across the country for three decades now. He's just an old-style, Las Vegas-type of performer. We're very happy to have him back."
The concert series is as much about families as it is great music.
"We have face painting this year for the children. Of course, each week we hold a very large 50/50 raffle to benefit the Uncle Sam Parade, the 9/11 Memorial committee, Lansingburgh Boys and Girls Club, Lansingburgh High baseball booster club and Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. What we try to do is benefit not-for-profits that are related to the community," Ciccarelli said.
The special events coordinator says the concert series will give people a good idea of all the great things that are happening in the city these days. Continued...
"We'd like people to come out, bring a lawn chair and leave the dogs and alcohol at home."

A man has died after a house explosion Friday morning in Newport.
A Newport fire captain said 33-year-old Dwayne Luttrell died Monday.
Luttrell had been listed in critical condition after an explosion at his family's home.
"There aren't any words," Luttrell's stepmother, Marcia Hardwig, said. "He was so wonderful, so warm and giving. I think he tried to be there for anyone at any time."
Randy Vickers, a neighbor, described the blast as "the loudest explosion I've ever heard."
Ida Neal, Luttrell's mother, was still hospitalized with injuries from the explosion as of Monday night.
Hardwig said Neal was still grieving after the death of her younger song to cancer last November.
"He would bring sunshine to your day. He'd come into a room and room it fill up with Dwayne," Hardwig said.
Duke Energy and the Newport Fire Department is still investigating the explosion but they said there is no evidence of suspicious activity.
