I have had the Craftsman 10 pc. Metric Combination Ignition set for 20 plus years. I do not know if it is because I have had them for so long but I strongly disagree with the negative reviews I have read about them. The set I have is perfectly balanced with no spurs or other defects. I have used the set to fix numerous items around the house and in my shop. They have proven themselves to be strong enough to loosen stuck bolts on my kids bicycles with little problem fitting into the tightest of spots. I hope the set that I have is still being sold and not some cheap knock-offs that appears to be the case with the negative reviews.

I bought this set 10-12 years ago, back when Craftsman must have still had some interest in supplying good tools for a decent price. Sadly I broke the 5mm the other day and took it to my local ************ which gladly and quickly replaced the entire set for me. WHAT A MISTAKE. I should have just kept my old set and bought a 5mm wrench singly from some other manufacturer... this new set is not nicely machined, it looks stamped out out of sheet metal....rough edges, ill-defined 12 point "machining", and i doubt the open end would do anything but round off the corners of any nut or bolt unfortunate enough to endure these sad excuses for tools. I will not be using these pieces of scrap metal. I'll be writing to Craftsman corporate about my utter disappointment with the brand's sell out to lowest-bidder-made junk. Maybe they'll listen, maybe they won't, but save your cash and buy something better. This isn't even fit for hobby use if you work with small fasteners

These wrenches get into the tightest spots

With changes in Craftsman manufacturing, the quality of many Craftsman brand hand tools has declined. The rims of the box ends of these wrenches are much wider than older Craftsman ignition wrenches that I own. The whole idea of this type wrench is to fit in a tight spot and do close work. The wider rims will reduce the usefulness of these tools.

Purchased as one of my students (Who will probably not get his PhD now) lost one of my old set that I purchased some 20 years ago. The 20 year old versions are just FANTASTIC quality. Unfortunately; these latest ?tools? are just cheap & nasty copies of the originals, stamped out of some junk that must have been lying around the Craftsman workshop. They are not dimensionally accurate They are much thicker than the originals (to make the cheap material as strong as the old type) They are no longer truly non-magnetic (not much good when I am working on the magneto of my 1930?s Alfa) They don?t even look nice, as the original do! All in all; I have just paid $20 for something that I could have got for $10 with a made in Taiwan label on it. I am sure that the cleaver Taiwanese would not dare to export anything as poor as this! At least they only printed the ?Made in USA? on the packet. I would be ashamed to see that statement stamped into the wrenches themselves.

This is a great little set of hard-to-find smaller metric tools. Please tell me where else to find 4.5mm and 5.5cm wrenches. My son has recently started enjoying the radio controlled vehicle hobby, and both of those wrenches have come in handy. I am a bicycle mechanic, and several of these tools have worked well in tight spots. They are also very portable on the bike. When I purchased this set, I initially felt that $20 for the two tools that I thought that I only needed was a bit pricey, but, considering the use I have made of most of the wrenches, $2 per wrench does not seem so bad.

I love this little wrench set. It has a good selection of smaller size wrenches and offers open and closed ends of each size. It has the good Craftsman quailty you would expect as well.

After looking and looking, these wrenches are a great value for RC modeler that need the small sizes. Great Quality and once again Great Value. Its a Craftsman enough said.

If you are reading this review I want you to know that I am an avid Craftsman fan and consider mysdelf somewhat of a tool expert. I wouldn't put much faith on the negative reviews about this set which were down-loaded from the Sears.com site and migrated here. Almost all CRAFTSMAN-FEED reviews are negative. I have found these little wrenches to be exactly what is needed to get into tight spaces. The fit and finish matches those I've experienced with other Craftsman Full-Polish wrenches. My only advice is that you should purchase the complete set which includes 49 various styles and sizes. They price for the entire set is $49. Good luck and happy wrenching!

Craftsman 10 pc. Metric Combination Ignition Wrench Set is a must have set for anyone that has a shop or does home repairs. There was a special at my local Sears store & I thought, why not, so I picked up a set. I thought that I would use them on those rare instances where you would need a super small wrench. I soon discovered that I would use this wrench set more than I had realized. I use them in my shop on small engine repair and I have used them in the house and they even work fine on minor electronic repairs. I have read some of the negative reviews for these wrenches & so far, I have not had these issues. Craftsman 10 pc. Standard Combination Ignition Wrench Set has been a fine addition to my tool chest. Now you have to remember, these are for small repairs and small fasteners. They are not intended to use as pry bars and such type things. I use these when I cannot get a socket in a tight spot & need a way to loosen bolts without rounding them off by using pliers or such type items. They come in a handy little storage pouch to keep them together while they are in your tool box. This storage pouch also has a snap to keep them from falling out. I use a small metal D-hook to hold them together so that I can quickly grab the size that I need & just unhook the wrench I want. I would recommend tthis set to my friends or anyone that has the need for a good set of wrenches for small fasteners. I have had my set for 2yrs & still use them today & they still look brand new.

[Solved] Menu\Navigation Structure
I have this site: http://guaposcapecod.com/main.html
and basically I have for each HTML page, a navigation menu. If I make a change to a link, or make a change to the list items, I have to make sure I change them on all the HTML pages.
Is there an easier way ?
@thesocialdiner Sure. Change your site from html to PHP and use a simple include.
Since they're .html files, you may want to use SSI (server-side includes) to include the menu: http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/sitemanagement/includes.html
This way you'll only have to edit one file which you're including. Although you'll have to configure your server or .htaccess to parse .html server-side the way it would .shtml http://www.htaccess-guide.com/enable-ssi-with-htaccess/
You could also have your server parse .html as .php, but that's a whole other thing, and it doesn't look like you're looking for something too complicated.
for me, simple edit - replace - all pages, works just fine. You can edit links, add links, etc. in all pages at once.

Hailey Dunn: One Year Later
By: Jessica Reyes
Updated: December 27, 2011
"Just because the investigators are not making ourselves very visual doesn't mean that this case has slowed down by any means," said investigator Kelsey Alexander of the Colorado City Police Department.
Alexander took the call when Hailey was reported missing on December 28, 2010. The case has stayed on her mind ever since.
"There's not days that go by here that we don't talk about the case or revisit an aspect of the case," she said.
Hailey's story has attracted national attention over the past year, and search groups from around the country have scoured Mitchell, Scurry, and Howard counties.
"Makes you feel sick, knowing that so many people have put in so much of their time and effort and that nobody could come up with anything. It makes you sick," said Kristy Lloyd, who works with volunteer search group Hope for Hailey.
Both of Hailey's parents have had their share of legal issues. Her father, Clint Dunn, has been arrested multiple times on unrelated charges. Billie Dunn was arrested in March for drug possession and hindering apprehension.
Affidavits revealing pornography was found at the homes of both Billie Dunn and Adkins' mother were released in February. Authorities have said the images include child porn and bestiality. To date, no charges have been filed.
Hailey's disappearance has also been the source of countless rumors in and around Colorado City.
"Frustration, at times, comes from the people that try to interject themselves into the investigation. Or the rumors, the hearsay," Alexander said.
That frustration aside, Alexander said the case is far from being put on the back burner.
"There's nothing that goes unanswered. And there will be answers for everybody. For everybody involved," she said.
Hailey's mother's boyfriend, Shawn Adkins, remains the only named person of interest in the case.

News & Analysis
This old EETimes article describes the history of how Intel roped ASML into EUV ...
Intel investment could play critical role in the future growth of ASML.
Intel buys stake in ASML to boost 450-mm, EUV R&D
Dylan McGrath
The $4.1 billion includes about $2.1 billion in equity investment in ASML, good for 10 percent of ASML's shares, Intel said. The company said it also committed to buy another 5 percent of ASML's shares for about $1 billion in the relatively near future.
Intel also committed to provide more than $1 billion to ASML's R&D programs for EUV and 450-mm. The chip giant said the investment would accelerate the deployment of these technologies by as much as two years. As part of the deal, Intel also committed to advanced purchase orders for 450-mm and EUV development and production tools from ASML, the company said.
The first phase of the agreement calls for Intel to invest about $680 million to help ASML develop 450-mm lithography tools. The second phase of the deal, which requires ASML shareholder approval, includes about $340 million in R&D funding for ASML's EUV lithography development and the $1 billion equity purchase of the additional 5 percent of ASML's outstanding shares, Intel said.
EUV lithography—long seen as the inevitable successor to optical immersion lithography, the current state of the art—was to have been put in production prior to now, but has been delayed several times by development hiccups. ASML has six pre-production EUV development tools currently in the field, but these tools lack the throughput required for economical chip production in high volume. ASML has said it is working with suppliers to develop better power sources and that it expects to make EUV production tools available in 2013 or 2014.
Intel wants to deploy EUV lithography at the 10-nm node in the second half of 2015. But the company has also said it would be prepared to extend optical immersion lithography to that node in the event that EUV is not ready. Many chip industry observers believe the technology will not be commercially viable by that time. Because Intel designs chips about two years ahead of production, the company must make a decision relatively soon on the type of lithography it plans to use at the 10-nm node.
Intel as well as other leading edge chip makers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. want to transition to 450-mm wafers from 300-mm wafers to increase die and profitability per wafer. Though several development programs are underway, it is uncertain when all of the necessary tools would be ready to support 450-mm wafers. Bob Johnson, research vice president for semiconductor manufacturing at Gartner Inc., said Monday that it was unlikely that 450-mm will see widespread deployment before 2019 or 2020.
"The transition from one wafer size to the next has historically delivered a 30 to 40 percent reduction in die cost and we expect the shift from today's standard 300-mm wafers to larger 450-mm wafers to offer similar benefits," said Brian Krzanich, Intel senior vice president and chief operating officer, in a statement. "The faster we do this, the sooner we can gain the benefit of productivity improvements, which creates tremendous value for customers and shareholders."
Asked about the deal during a presentation at the Semicon West fab tool tradeshow here Monday, Mark Bohr, an Intel Senior Fellow who is in charge of the company's process technology development, declined to discuss specifics. But Bohr said that 450-mm wafers and EUV are two very important technologies that Intel needs to continue scaling and keep on pace with Moore's Law.
ASML said it is willing to sell up to 25 percent of the company to Intel and other chip vendors that wish to participate in its EUV and 450-mm development programs. With Intel taking 15 percent of ASML, the company is still willing to sell another 10 percent of the company to participants. A spokesman for ASML said the company is currently in discussions with other customers and expects others to participate in the R&D and equity program.
Regardless of the outcome of ASML's discussions with other customers, Intel's ownership stake in ASML will not exceed 15 percent of ASML's shares and will be subject to lock-up and voting restrictions, according to Intel's statement.
Intel said it would fund its R&D and equity investments in ASML from cash on hand at its offshore subsidiaries.
But will that be enough?
I must say I was quite surprised by this news. It's interesting to me that the first phase of the project involves 450-mm, while the second is EUV. EUV is already running late, why not start with that? Gartner analyst Bob Johnson just said widespread deployment of 450-mm is unlikely to occur before 2019 or 2020.
I hear it's because ASML did not want to do both EUV and 450mm. Too costly. Not clear what the next level of detail is.
(1)does this mean ASML is now going to develop 193i 450mm steppers.
(2) stop development of 300mm EUV steppers that were sold for more than 100€.
(3) then deveop 450mm EUV
Good questions.
Wasn't ASML dragging its feet on starting 450-mm development? A lot of people I think expected that tool makers would make Intel and other chip makers foot part of the bill for 450-mm development after they all got burned at 300-mm.
Yes a ASML executive tool me they would ONLY do 300mm EUV first. But I guess a $4B check changes priorities :)
$4.1 billion, wow. And zPower is asking for $5 million from ASML to develop a 200W EUV light source.
Dylan.... I disagree with Gartner. 450mm is a solved problem technically. it just needs money and Equipment Vendor buy-in. That will not take til 2019 or 2020. On the other hand EUV is still a technical challenge. Intel has mastered double patterning. If push comes to shove they will go to quadruple patterning and get to 10nm and beyond. However that is expensive and hence they are pushing very hard for 450mm to take advantage of the cost curve primarily.
EUV is still a long term challenge and my guess is it will not be ready till atleast 7nm node.
Any of the insiders care to comment??
I think intel is seeing same problem as foundry. Double patterning and even triple patterning is possible/doable. However, wafer cost increases and cost per transistor does not decrease (so slow down or stopping of Moores law !). Foundry seeing this at 20nm and severe at 14nm. Intel being behind for back end metal wiring design rules now sees this at 14/10nm.
So intel needs to write a $4B check. On top of increasing R/D cost.
This is what slow down in Moore's law looks like. The economic advantage of keeping making things smaller diminishes. ...advanced node delivers less but cost more to develop.
the_floating_ gate
Intel plans to move double patterning at 14nm into production in 2013 and also expects to initiate an EUV pilot line (initially using Intel 3100 tool) at the same time. At 10nm, Intel likely will use complimentary patterning (i.e. mix and match of EUV and QP/ArF immersion techniques). With Intel moving to high-volume 14nm production in 2013 and critical layers using ArF Dry and immersion tools set to double from 23 to 46, Barclays anticipates a meaningful step up in wafer-fab equipment (WFE) spend from Intel in 2013, particularly for litho – look for order pickup late 2012.
This is a huge step. Much needed capacity to drive the next Billion chips.
This a Godzilla move by Intel.
The big impact is ~$3B for 15% of ASML. That's a big charge. 0.7B for 450 mm and 0.3B for EUV means 450 mm more important now. How can anyone say a technology with long unresolved issues will be cheaper, beats me.
This old EETimes article describes the history of how Intel roped ASML into EUV back in 1999.
The cowboy tech company on hormones that was Intel needed a NGL tech to prevent being dominated by IBM, Siemens and others who were focused on e-beam, ion beam and X-rays. EUV was already ruled out by the others for the issues which continue to plague it today (source, multilayer defects, etc.). But Intel needed to grab an NGL weapon to enter the debate.
Thirteen years later, Intel now realizes that NGL was not needed after all, it can already afford quadruple patterning. It needs to fulfill a moral obligation to ASML, this deal appears the best way.

"Amana distinctions 14 seer"
This Ac unit was the most difficult purchase to make because many reviews said stay away from Amana. I called a few companies all which had their own brand and labour warranties. However we decided to go with direct energy, even though they were big bucks. But, I know that if any issues they are a phone call away (12 year parts and labour) Ac working great house is cold Period!!! All Ac units use pretty much same parts except trane This site really confusing with many different reviews!! Just picked one !!

"Good Buy But Will Run Up Your Utility Bill"
I purchased this air conditioner approximately two years ago on the recommendation of a friend. This model is very quiet, and seems very efficient. This unit cools the air in my home quickly especially in the summer. One of the major problems is the fact that it seems to use up a lot of electricity. My utility bills in the first summer I bought it were extremely high (about $ 150 more than usual). In subsequent months, I was a bit stingier and more aware of my AC usage, which helped to lower my bills slightly. Neither my friend nor I have had any repair issues with this AC unit, and it seems to be very resilient to wear and tear. I would easily recommend this to a friend as long as they were willing to keep a close eye on the thermostat. Overall, a good product that will last, but will run up your utilities slightly.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Amana A/C"
I have had an Amana a/c and furnace for 12 years and almost to the day of the 12th year my a/c went out. Going to replace with another brand because the cost to fix was just about the price of a new one. The service area that I bought the furnace and a/c from went out of business. Hopefully my furnace will last a little longer.

Every source of energy available to us today has its own environmental impact. The responsibility of energy suppliers as well as policy makers is to recognize those impacts, work to abate them and price the full cost into the product.
Transitioning the energy supply system to one that minimizes environmental impacts will require profound changes, and Exelon's efforts to supply clean energy and promote market-driven solutions supports America's efforts to make this transformation as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Exelon 2020, which serves as our business strategy guide for investment decisions and as a framework for our public policy advocacy on climate change, is evolving to identify reliable, lower cost electricity supply options that can also achieve other key environmental objectives. From 2010 through 2015, we are investing nearly $5 billion in cost-effective, clean energy projects to support the objectives of Exelon 2020. We continuously assess our strategic options as we better understand the complex environmental, social and economic linkages that challenge our society, and adapt and refine our business strategy to build shareholder value.

Exelon placed an early focus on carbon emissions because we see our opportunity to make a real impact on this pressing issue. As summarized in the chart above, Exelon 2020 performance is expressed as a measure of total annual GHG emissions. Click on image to enlarge. We recognize that we hold an influential role as one of the largest electric wholesale and retail power generation companies in the US, as well as through our utility companies with over 5.4 million retail electricity customers. Therefore, in 2008, Exelon launched Exelon 2020, an ambitious strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per year by 2020. At the end of 2011, we achieved over 82% of our goal having abated 12.8 million tonnes of GHG emissions; a reduction equivalent to removing over 2.3 million cars off the road every year. We have achieved these reductions through:

As GHG emissions accounting evolves, Exelon makes every effort to respond by updating and expanding its GHG inventory accordingly. click on image to enlarge With EPAs phase-out of the Climate Leaders program in 2011, Exelon has realigned its Inventory Management Plan to conform to the accounting guidance outlined by The Climate Registry (TCR). TCR's protocols embody GHG accounting best practices as drawn from The World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WRI/WBCSD) GHG Protocol and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14064 standards, and builds upon the framework established by the Climate Leaders program. With the Exelon 2020 program, we have integrated performance monitoring of our GHG inventory and Exelon 2020 efforts into Exelon's quarterly management reporting process. Each of the operating companies currently participating in Exelon 2020 documents their progress and results as part of the overall quarterly operational and financial review with the company's senior leadership. Exelon completed verification of our 2011 inventory under the TCR protocol (our assets as they existed 2011) and we are working to integrate Constellation's assets and GHG inventory (which was also underwent three party assurance in 2011) into our programs for the 2012 calendar year.
"For the sake of our businesses, our customers and our shareholders, we cannot wait for Washington to act [on climate change]. Businesses must lead the way to a low-carbon future."
Because appropriate public policies are crucial to addressing climate change in a meaningful way, Exelon has been an early and vocal advocate for mandatory, economy-wide climate regulation.

There's nothing more beautiful than a wildflower, unless it is in the wrong place. Wild violets are considered wildflowers to some and weeds to others. Wild violets are among some of the toughest, most difficult lawn weeds to control.
Violets are a diverse group that includes both winter annual and perennial species. The perennial violets have deep underground root structures called rhizomes and stolons. These root structures allow wild violets to persist in lawns for many years and make these plants difficult to control.
Often, pulling out these weeds is both very difficult and futile. While weeding violets, people usually break off part of the rhizome or underground root, which allows the plant to regenerate.
One of the more familiar forms of wild violet has heart-shaped leaves on long stalks arranged in a rosette near the soil. Flowers range from purple or pink to white or yellow, usually with five petals.
Some might consider these "pretty flowers" until they start growing somewhere in unwanted locations. The flowers bloom between spring and into early summer. These flowers produce seeds that help propagate and disperse the plant. Controlling violets before they flower can reduce the number of weeds that return.
Wild violets have a wide range of distribution from Canada to Florida and can tolerate many different types of environments. However, they tend to be more prolific in their preferred habitat: shady, moist locations.
Quite often, these are areas that are not well suited to growing turfgrass. Therefore, the grass cannot compete with the better-adapted weeds, like wild violets, in these areas.
One strategy for managing wild violets includes correcting any soil drainage problems and thinning tree limbs to allow more sunlight for your lawn. Areas that receive less than four hours of sunlight will not sustain grass and should be landscaped with shrubs or groundcovers adapted to shade. Totally shaded areas should be covered with pine straw or other mulch materials.
There are several selective herbicides that can be used to control wild violets without damaging your lawn. However, even the best broadleaf herbicide will take repeated applications to achieve good control of wild violets. You must be both patient and persistent with herbicide applications for wild violets.
Some of the best products on the market contain the active ingredients 2,4-D, MCPP, dicamba or triclopyr. Depending on the mixture, they may only be labeled for use on certain grasses, so be sure to read the label and check the type of grass in your lawn to avoid potential damage. As with all herbicides, always read and follow all label application instructions and safety precautions.
Many lawn herbicides on the market today contain two- and three-way mixtures of these chemicals in the active ingredient, which allows them to control more wide-ranging weed problems.
These products are commonly found at many local garden centers and farm supply stores. More herbicide options are available for wild violet control, but are limited to use only by licensed commercial lawn companies. For more detailed information on using herbicides, see our UGA Extension publication "Weed Control in Home Lawns" online at www.caes.uga.edu.

Heading South.
Yep, I'm heading South...for the winter. I know you're thinking I'm wimping out. I have braved Minnesota winters most of my life, but have the opportunity to spend some time with my folks at their farm in Ocala, Florida. I am packing up my computer, camera, fancy new phone (with all the advanced technology yet to be mastered), a few short sleeve tees & a pair of jeans, a trunk full of junk necessities, and my saddle. For the first time in my career, I can work from anywhere. My husband, who proclaims he loves the cold weather, has graciously offered to drive with me, to and from. I suspect if the winter becomes unbearably harsh, he may sneak down for an occasional warm-up.
We leave Tuesday January 6th and will be driving my big black pick-up that bears a bumper sticker proclaiming I brake for junk. Kerry promised me he would take a deep breath, relax, and allow impromptu stops...to check out interesting junk shops and sales. I suspect it will take us 2-3 days to reach our destination.
If you have any suggestions of great places to stop along the way, let me know! Antique stores, junk shops, salvage yards, used restaurant supply stores, restaurants, motels, tourist attractions...whatever. I am game! Since our trip will be an unscheduled adventure, I won't know when we might reach an area. Our game plan is to travel the following route:
Minneapolis to Mason City Iowa via I35
Mason City through Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, & Iowa City to Missouri border via 218
Missouri border to St. Louis via 61
St. Louis to Mt. Vernon Illinois via I64
Mt. Vernon to Marion Illinois via I57
Marion through Peducah Kentucky & Nashville to Chattanooga Tennessee via I24
Chattanooga through Atlanta Georgia,Valdosta, & Gainesville to Ocala Florida via I75
I have made the trip to Florida many times during my life. Mapquest has given me a different route than what I am used to traveling. What the heck, "I am feeling adventuresome!" I told my husband, so we are going to try something new. Old dogs...new tricks...you get the picture.
I have a strong liking for grits, so Cracker Barrel will definitely be a place to look for. (I eat my grits with lots of butter, salt, and pepper.) I would love to hear any of your must check out junk hot spots along our route! I would also appreciate any tips you may have for clean restrooms or good food.
When I arrive in Ocala I will be greeted by my mom, dad, my sister, her husband, and KC, my adopted horse. (Will give you the lowdown on KC in a later post.) I will be lucky enough to reside in my own bunkhouse and have promised to share in horse and donkey duties. I have access to 2 workshops so I am bringing only my favorite Tomboy drill.
Yes, there are flea markets in Florida. I am scheduled to meet my friend, Tim Luke, at Renningers Extravaganza in Mount Dora on January 16th. It is only 30 minutes from my folks and boasts 1,400 vendors! It will be my first time there, so if you have any tips on the market or don't miss vendors, please share!
Looks like the Junk Revolution message boards will be up sometime Monday. I will try to post before I leave to let you know. I plan on packing up my computer last. I can't wait to visit with everyone!
I'm heading South and I'm bringing you with. This will be fun! And warm!

Hi, Ki! Safe travels to you and your hubby. Make sure you have enough room in the truck for all the treasures you pick up along the way. I've never travelled far from MN for junking so can't give you any heads up, but I'm sure there are a lot of folks reading this blog that can. I envy you for as you know, the weather here right now isn't the greatest. Happy trails!

Well, heck...your route isn't taking you through northern Illinois. I'd take you out to Josie's place. There's a huge old barn and many outbuildings filled with stuff. Talk about junk collectors, there is a farmer just across the road from Josie's that purchased an ENTIRE drive-up coffee stand and has it sitting behind his silo. It's the wierdest thing you've ever seen.
Once you get outside of Paducah and into Tenneessee you're in my traditional family stomping ground, around Palmyra and Clarksville. There are plenty of small junk and antique shops from Paducah all the way through Tennessee. There used to be a good one in Stayton, Tennessee but I don't know if he's still there. Have fun!!! - January 3, 2009 at 6:37 PM

Goodness, that is a long drive! Be safe! I live in the Nashville, TN area. I don't know exactly what you are looking for to stop at but if you were to pass through the 4th weekend of any month Nashville has their flea market at the Fair grounds it has been voted the best flea market in the south. It is awesome! Unfortunately Jan. isn't the most popular month. There is also Southeastern Salvage. They have great stuff. We got our hardwood floors for a dollar a square ft there! Have fun with your parents in FL!

With regards to Rennigers Extravganza.... start very early and start in the back and work your way out to the front. It is huge!!!! and you will definitely need your walking shoes. There are small hills ( a lot of up and down walking). It is great fun and you will enjoy it so much.

Sounds just wonderful! I'm actually flying to FL today for the next 5 days (to Sarasota) to visit my mom and help decorate my parents new house there!
Can't wait to see the new message boards, it'll be so nice to chat with other junkers and have some idea-swappin' fun!
Now, I know that everyone likes their grits a certain way, but may I suggest cheesy grits? Just add a little butter, salt, and cheese, and mix. Mmmmm, good! :) LOL Hope you have a safe trip!

My plans are to take the long way home later this spring via Canton, Texas. Haven't been to Canton flea in a while and am looking forward to some grand Texas junk! I suspect I will hit lots of new states!
Thanks for all your comments & keep them coming! I may even try a little cheese in my grits.

On the out skirts of Waynesville MO(RT 44), there is a great Shop Bear Creek, antiques and odds and ends.(also Ft Leonard Wood) Also, on 44 in Cuba 2 huge Antique stores. Herman Mo, just a great German Town with great winerys and yummy food.
It takes us 18 hours to travel to Ocala(we have realatives there).Love the country! But I don't like the summers, I guess you can call me a snow bird. LOL
Have a great trip. - January 4, 2009 at 9:34 AM

Take a small detour to Mt. Vernon, Iowa by heading east on Hwy. 30 from Hwy. 218. You can then head south on Hwy. 1 from MV to Iowa City and get back on track. There are some majorly cute antique stores there.
Little known fact about Cracker Barrel: you can use them as an audio book lending library. Just purchase one at the first stop, and when you stop at the next one, turn it in for another title!
Paducah, KY as "Hancock's of Paducah", an awesome fabric store. I've never been, but plan to the next time I go through there!
Also stop in Galena, IL, if you can. You might head to the Mississippi river while still in Iowa, instead of going all the way to Missouri first. The river towns have a lot of cute stuff to see and do. - January 4, 2009 at 9:53 AM
- Sandy said...
I don't recall names, but the Clear Lake/Mason City areas are FULL of Antique shops, especially Clear Lake (where you will be getting off on I-35 anyway!) Downtown CL, you pretty much just run into antique shops where ever you go!
Have a safe and wonderful trip! - January 4, 2009 at 10:31 AM

When you get to Florida, don't forget to stop by Burrito Bros. in Gainesville. Their guacamole is the best in the world!
Webster, Fla. has a great flea market too. Lots of junk to rifle through. - January 4, 2009 at 11:07 AM
- Margo said...
Wow you are getting lots of great suggestions. As far as grits go, I've never tried them. Go figure.
What are grits made from anyway. For me, being such a picky eater, If I haven't tried it yet, I'm probably not going to. But it sounds like a carb, and I'm all into the carbs.
Have a great trip and I'll see you on the Message Board, Woo Hoo!!!! - January 4, 2009 at 11:25 AM

How awesome,Ki! You're heading to my neck of the woods when you're in Mt Dora. I live in Lake County, and am embarrassed to say that I haven't been to Renningers in years, and the last time I went to Mt Dora, I was seeing a real estate attorney. Lord, my life is so boring!! Got to agree w/ Lisa from Orlando...start @ the back cause that's where all the good junque is. And while there are no mountains in Mt Dora, there are some hills, & a gorgeous lake & a really cool downtown...very historic for Florida! What time do you plan to be at Renninger's? I've been such a follower of yours for years, meeting you would be as exciting as meeting Alan Jackson & Randy Travis forever ago! Maybe I can talk my buddy Steph into a predawn trip to Mt Dora....hmmm...sounds like agreat idea, except for maybe the predawn part!!! :o} Have a safe great trip! *elaine*

What an awesome way to spend your winter. I know you will come up with some great places to junk. I heard that the Purple Cow in St. Louis was really great. Haven't been there myself but I've seen pics and it looks like a place I would love. Can't wait until the message boards are up. It will be great to reconnect with everyone. Take care and have a safe and junking good trip.

Have you been to Sister's Garden near Iowa City? I am not sure of the exit, but it is maybe 7-8 miles west of Iowa city (between Iowa City and Kalona). It is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! Lots and lots of chippy furniture, vintage clothing & jewelery in two houses!

Hi Ki, you will be coming right through my neck of the woods in Illinois. Our most favorite trip in this area is to the Shawnee Hills Wine trail in southern IL. http://www.shawneewinetrail.com/ There are many wineries very close together, and a number of B&B's close by. It's perhaps not the best time of year to visit, to sitting outside and enjoy the view, but the wine is great year round. Our fav winery is Owl Creen, and by far the best place to stay is Cabin on the Hill, http://www.cabinonthehill.com/
they have three cabins to choose from and have been featured in the most recent annual log home buyers guide. Have a safe trip! - January 4, 2009 at 8:32 PM

Hi Ki, Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Well I've got two places of interest I thought you may enjoy. The first is Paducah, KY. The downtown area is very artsy and full of antique shops. Along the river banks is a large wall of murals that spans from one end of downtown to the other. It depicts the history of Paducah.
The second would be one of the best places to eat bar-b-q. It will be on 1-24 in Murfreesboro, TN. The place is called "The Slick Pig" Now, I'm not just talking pulled pork. They have the best smoked wings and ribs. The side dishes are also great. Slaw and white beans would be my favorite. You can wash it all down with some sweet tea and have pecan pie for dessert. It is about an hour drive south for me to go there and eat. But, we make a point to go when family is visiting from out of town. It is one of the must go to's while they're here. It's fairly easy to get to from the interstate and if you need directions you can just ask anybody how to get there. M'boro also has several antique malls, great for junkers. :)
Have fun and be safe driving.

Hi Ki. I wish I was going somewhere warm. Traveling down along the Mighty Miss is a beautiful drive. The Illinois side has alot of nice little shops running alon the Mississippi. The fall is the best time to drive thru. My husband and I used to go camping in Paducah at Land Between The Lakes. Another beautiful drive is "The Trace". It takes you thru Kentucky and down into Tenn. Make sure you stop in Paducah cuz the people there are soooooo nice. I wish there was time for you to meet my step sister. She lives in Ocala. I don't think she has met a person that can out do her in shopping. And she is such an animal lover. She would love to meet your horse. :)
Hope you have a safe and productive trip.

Try a Waffle House, or Toddle House, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If you order eggs, the grits come with it, coffee is good,too. I'm in Mississippi, so no ideas where to stop for junking! It does seem to me,though, that there's quite a lot of neat stuff on the side of the roads down here!

I really hate that I didn't find your blog sooner. I just started a blog (as in it has almost no information on it yet, lol) about this very thing in hopes of finding places all over Georgia.
I would love to hear if you stopped at any while driving through.

Junk lover,
My only stop in Georgia was Vienna. Exit 109 on I75 close to the Florida border. Check out my road trip post and you will find photos of a couple great stores. I have been to Scotts Antique show in Atlanta and have seen some great stuff. More antiques than junk, when I was there.
Jump on over to the Junk Revolution Community message boards and post about finding junking spots in Georgia under Rescue and I bet you'll get some great feedback.
Goodluck on your blog!

I love the Reninger's Antique Extravaganza weekends at Mount Dora. My only complaint is that I can never seem to see everything!
And I agree with Mary -- the Webster flea market is also good, especially on the Monday's following a Reninger's weekend. Many of the dealers from Reninger's head to Webster, often with much better prices!
And be sure to make it to Gainesville for pizza at Satchel's. Not only is the food excellent, but the junky-cool atmosphere is right up your alley! - December 4, 2009 at 1:03 PM

Stimulants for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Side Effects
The most common (affecting about 50 out of 100 people) side effects of stimulants are usually related to the dose and go away after the first 2 to 3 weeks on the medicine. Persistent side effects can usually be relieved by changing the dosage level, changing when the medicine is given, or trying a different type of stimulant. The most common side effects include:
- Decreased appetite. About 80 out of 100 people have decreased appetite. The appetite is usually least during the daytime, increasing in the evening. If the medicine is given after meals and snacks are added, especially in the evening, it may help improve the child's appetite and prevent weight loss.
- Difficulty falling asleep.
Other side effects are also usually temporary or go away with dosage adjustment. These include:
- Stomachache.
- Headache.
- Slightly increased blood pressure (in black males).
Long-term use of stimulant medicine appears to be safe and effective.Reference 2
Stimulant medicines may be related to slower growth in children, especially in the first year of taking the medicine. But most children seem to catch up in height and weight by adulthood. Your doctor will keep track your child's growth and watch for problems.Reference 2
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)

You're stho sthuper you wittle cran joo!
2. | Cran | ||
Also seen as :cran:. The word cran is a synonym for gaytard. Do something productive and stop reading stuff on this website, cran.
3. | Cran | ||
a pointed stick or pencil of colored clay, chalk, wax, etc., used for drawing or coloring. It is often mistakingly pronounced "cray-yon" which is, in fact, not a real word. What the fuck is a crayon? are you retarded? Oh, sorry, I didn't realize you were dropped a lot as a kid and didn't mean to offend you, but could you please pass the blue cran so I could finish coloring this?
A herd loud, intrusive girls whose natural habitat is frat parties. Known to be too loud at all times, often screaming baby noises at social gatherings. To organize they give a loud call of, "SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS." When synchronized the call reaches resonance that can burst the ear drums of any unsuspecting males in the area. The only known defense against the cry is to be heavily intoxicated. Once drunk the CRAN will attempt to leave their home but must change their clothes 4-8 times and change their plans repeatedly, until know one knows where they are going. Many biologists believe this is to confuse predators that would follow the CRAN. Once organized they move from party to party only stopping for minutes at a time to express their displeasure in their current surroundings. The migratory patterns of the CRAN are little understood, as they repeat this pattern every weekend and no observer has yet had the resilience to follow one for the entire journey. The CRAN are known to fanatical about sports that they have very little understanding and even less experience with. It is ill advised to confront a CRAN about their ignorance as they are known to get aggressive and charge their confronter. This is very dangerous as the CRAN hides two pronged horns at the top of their head, under their hair. A CRAN can be identified as about to charge when they drop their head and blow steam out their nostrils. "I heard this awful baby noise that drilled into my head until i fell to my knees and my ears started to bleed. The pain was so incredible that i cut out my own ears with rusty spoon. It was a CRAN."
"I was talking to this girl at the bar, we were watching a football game and she asked why they didn't just kick it every time they got the ball. I said it didn't work like that and I was immediately gored to death." "I was walking past a frat party and heard someone yelling shots, it got so loud all the surrounding glass, including my glasses, cracked. Its been 5 days and my hearing has not returned." |

The assorted morsels that compose hamster food. "Diz, would you like some cran?"
7. | cran | ||
The way in which idiots pronounce the word crayon, forgetting that there is a y and an o in the word. Most often found in areas in which inbreeding is prevalent. Joe: Hey Chris, what's that you've got shoved up your ass there?
Chris: Oh, it's a yellow-green cran. Joe: Don't you mean crayon? Chris: No. |

Cellar/Tasting Notes Winemaker's Notes: "A refined wine, well appreciated in the whole world. A beautiful golden colour and a great aromatic palette: honey, linden flower ("tilleul"), hazelnut butter, sometimes even chamomile or hawthorn. On the palate, a silky roundness. Long on the aftertaste, with flavours of yellow..
Cellar/Tasting Notes This is the most famous appellation of the southern Rhone and also one of the best-known in France and abroad. Its rise to fame goes back to the presence of the papal seat in Avignon from 1309 to 1376. It was Pope John XXII who developed the chateau, which is today in ruins.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Joseph Drouhin Pre-Arrival sale: The village wines will arrive in June 2013 and the Premier and Grand Cru wines will arrive by the end of October 2013.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A restrained to the point of almost being mute nose reluctantly offers notes of green fruit and mineral reduction that precede broad-shouldered, robust and imposingly concentrated flavors that possess plenty of palate coating dry extract, all wrapped in a terrifically long, intense and deep..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This has a little more of a hard edge to it, in the form of oak tannins. Yet the core is rich and creamy, with plenty of apple, peach, citrus and spice flavors. Has great length. Just needs some time."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A very fresh, clean and pure nose of ripe pear, white peach and floral aromas introduces rich, delicious and solidly well-concentrated flavors that culminate in a racy, detailed and lightly mineral-inflected finish. I very much like the underlying sense of tension here as well as the fine balance...
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A tight, racy style, showing citronella, green apple and floral notes, with plenty of energy. Ends with a mouthwatering impression and an aftertaste of mineral."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A ripe, fresh and impressively layered nose speaks of both white and yellow orchard fruit that complements well the rich, generous and lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess enough dry extract such that the palate impression is sappy yet firm and lingering."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A prodigious Cornas possessing all the pepper, smoked game, blackberry, cassis, burning ember and scorched earth characteristics one could desire. This rich, full-bodied 2009 should be a singular Cornas to drink over the next 15+ years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin shows the astounding qualities characteristic of the commune : deep color, with a multi-faceted berry and red fruit bouquet, a full, tannic structure and mellow texture carrying into a lasting finish. This powerful and perfumed wine require elaborate and strong-tasting..

Moving Labor | Moving Services | Moving Quotes Advertising With Packing Service |
Flat Rate | Moving Quotes Advertising With Packing Service |
In most cases, the moving process is a stressful and taxing procedure. If you are moving out, our professional moving guys offer moving resources, moving services and moving solutions all at a flat rate moving quote. When moving out, it usually requires one to hire a local moving company to transport your property from house to house. Most moving companies offer moving quotes that charge a steep hourly rate for each mover hired. The moving company will then send you moving guys which are usually day laborers who have offer no moving resources, no experience moving furniture or knowing how to help people start moving out. These laborers are not going to work in a timely and efficient manner, as they know the longer they work the more money they make. Our company gives flat rate moving information and will never allow this to happen because we give moving quotes before the job. Then there is the foreman, who usually has some understanding of the moving industry, but his main job is to sell you as much packing services as possible. The foreman will do a walk through of the location and point out several items that in his "professional opinion" are "not packed well", persuading the client to have him or his company repack them, for a fee. The foreman is a better salesman than he is a mover.
As most people are not professional packers, these "suggestions" may seem far-fetched or even a bit false, but this is where many unethical moving services or moving guys make their money. They give an estimate and begin the work. Once they finish packing, they hand the customer a bill that is significantly more expensive than the estimate given. This often happens to people because the moving guys that are hired are either just not working, working at a slow pace (if paid an hourly rate), or have spent a lot of time figuring out a way to pack something that professional moving services would have already known. They have no real solutions, only problems, and their moving labor is a waste of time and resources. Hiring moving labor like this is not the best way to move.
The best way to move and our advice is TO NOT USE JUST ANY LOCAL MOVING COMPANY.
Shop around to make sure the company is worth your hard earned money and offers moving quotes before the job. A few basic requirements when hiring a moving company is as follows: has a reference that can be checked; is registered with the Better Business Bureau and has pictures of past work/jobs; is knowledgeable and reputable. Our advice during a local move is to get a rental truck (Penske, Budget, U-Haul or Enterprise) or if you're doing a long distance move get a Pod container (PODS Container, Door To Door, PackRat) or a trucking company (ABF - U-Pack) and let Packing Service Inc. do the packing, loading and unloading or any kind of moving services for you.
Packing Service Inc. will provide moving solutions and flat rate quotes to pack up your entire home. Our prices include the cost of all boxes, materials and the charge for loading the items onto the truck rental or Pod container. We will disassemble your furniture, disconnect the major appliances and load the truck in a professional way and efficient manner as to avoid damage when in transit. You will not be charged by the hour or have any additional extra charges, the price that is quoted to you over the phone or on site will be the price that you pay at the end of our services.
Our Pod containers or truck loaders will follow you while driving the truck to your new home and unload it for you. Our guarantee pricing allows you the peace of mind that there will be no charges that haven't already been agreed upon. Packing Service Inc. is not like EVERY moving company in the industry because we do not charge you for the time the job takes. Our price quoted to you includes the grand total for unloading your truck or POD container, unwrapping and reassembling your furniture, and placing your boxes in your desired rooms by your request.
Don't hire just any moving labor company. When you're moving out, you want to relocate quickly and correctly, without the amateurish service and shenanigans offered by most moving labor companies.
With our company there are No Hidden Costs, No Extra Charges, No Misunderstandings and No Charges for the Time at all. Professionals with Flat Rate Quotes Only, call for a flat rate 888-722-5774.

1715 Cobb Parkway S
Marietta, GA 30060
Drivers who prefer their luxury with a dose of originality need look no further than the Audi A7. Combining strong, smooth performance and a wealth of space and amenities, it also features a body whose unique form and daring roofline make for a striking statement on the road.
Designing a car with a shapely shell usually comes at great cost to function, but not so here. By carefully weighing factors like aesthetics, aerodynamics, and the optimal position of rear passengers, Audi was able to infuse the A7 with a coupe-like roofline and still maintain generous measurements for head, leg, and shoulder room for all inside. An even more impressive figure is its cargo capacity, which at 24.5 cubic feet is over 60 percent more voluminous than its closest competitor.*
As pleasing as its form may be to behold, the Audi A7 reserves its best sensory delights for those seated within. A dashboard with genuine wood and aluminum accents presents the driver with crisp gauges, firm controls, and a steering wheel with controls for audio, voice control, and the driver information system. Available twelve-way power front seats cosset the driver and passenger with supple leather surfaces, heaters, and independent climate controls, while two more adults can relax in what might be the roomiest, most comfortable rear quarters in the class.
Beneath the smooth body of every Audi A7 lies a surprising amount of muscle and athleticism. Under the hood lies a 310-horsepower V6 whose supercharged design, Audi FSI® direct injection technology, and eight-speed Tiptronic® automatic transmission enable it to hit 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. The A7 is also a willing handler, thanks in part to innovative electromechanical steering and a front weight bias of only 54 percent ? the result of strategic powertrain packaging and Audi ultra® lightweight technology. Better still, standard Audi quattro® all-wheel drive means the A7 can work its moves in practically any season, rain or shine.*
When it comes to occupant protection in the A7, Audi left no stone unturned. Eight standard airbags*, including two at knee level, keep occupants protected from the front and sides, while Electronic Stability Control helps secure the car's intended path at all times. In the event of a collision, intelligent sensors automatically unlock the doors, switch on interior and hazard lights, and cut off fuel flow to the engine.**

a desk with lots of storage space
she writes, "we looked thru ikea, and we both liked the vika amon/vika annefors table. only problem was it was too expensive. so i went ikea shopping and found 2 faktum/akurum kitchen base cabinets at as-is. then i bought a vika table top and put 2 L-brackets to hold the table top to the cabinet tops.
we looked through ikea for nice inexpensive shelves, but could only find lack shelves which did not seem strong enough to hold up stuff. so it was back to the drawing board for me. after looking through various measurements, i concluded that we could add some trones shoe cabinets (to use as storage) at the left side and 3 faktum fan cabinets at the top of the desk.
attached a noticeboard, a magnetic strip and non lights to the wall. the result may not be as elegant, but it shows what a little planning can achieve for a small budget. i love the desk and for once, all her clutter goes where it ought to be - hidden.
word of caution though: pay to have someone professional mount the wall cabinets. we had one of them fall down! too short screws, wrong plug, lazy drilling."

Great hack!
Although sometimes professionals are over rated. We recently had construction done in our flat and they took down our old coat rack and put up a new one that fell off the wall TWICE. We thought they would put in better/proper plugs the second time they put the coat rack up but it came down again. We just told them not to put it up anymore.- AnonymousMarch 01, 2008 2:48 PM
Hey Jules,
I'm wondering where I can get the noticeboard. I really love it.
Thanks! - AnonymousMarch 10, 2008 3:21 PM
that tabletop says it needs an extra leg (like in the original combo table. Do you think this is sturdy enough without a third leg in the mid-back?

"Where are we going to live? How are we going to tell our parents? Everything is just so hard." She whispered, laying back on his bed. She was so confused it was then i struck her. "Andrew we have a scan tomorrow." She smiled gently.
The school day lasted forever, or at least it seemed that way. The final bell rang, signifying that the students may go home. Andrew walked with Sophie to their lockers and got ready to go home. "Sophie," he said with a smile. "Do you have any questions about how we're going to do this? We need to talk everything through, so if you need to ask me anything, don't hesitate." He gave her a soft kiss to her cheek. They soon reached Andrew's house, and as soon as they walked in, they headed straight for his room.
"Where are we going to live? How are we going to tell our parents? Everything is just so hard." She whispered, laying back on his bed. She was so confused it was then i struck her. "Andrew we have a scan tomorrow." She smiled gently.
Andrew smiled at Sophie. "We're going to live here. We're going to tell our parents together. And yes we do." He lay down on the bed and cuddled close with her. "We're going to get through this, I promise you." He gave her a gently kiss on her lips and stared deep into her eyes.
"We can't live here forever." She whispered, holding onto him tightly. She couldn't wait for the scan but she was still worried on how her parents where going to react.
"We can live here as long as we need to." He kissed her softly on the cheek as he held her close. "When are we going to tell our parents?" He knew they had to eventually, they couldn't hide her pregnancy from them forever. "We can tell mine first, I know they'll have a better reaction." Andrew's parents were much more calm and relaxed than Sophie's. "I think the sooner we tell them, the better it'll be."
Sophie nodded and took hold of Andrew's hand. "Lets tell them now." She whispered. She knew that she wanted to get it over and done with. She walked downstairs and hovered outside the living room door. She was nervous.
Andrew walked with Sophie slowly down the stairs. He could feel himself getting more nervous. They proceeded into the living room and sat down on the couch. "Mom! Dad!" Andrew called out, trying to grasp his parent's attention. "We need to talk!" His voice could be heard throughout the house, so he knew they would come. Both his parents walked in at the same time. "Oh, hi Sophie." his mother spoke in a kind, soft tone. "What is it?" his father asked as he entered the room. Sophie's stomach was partially concealed by the way she was sitting, so they hadn't notice it yet. "Something's happened." Andrew spoke with a nervous, yet firm tone. "And it's something you need to know and it has to be said." He held Sophie's hand tightly, and smiled at her. "Sophie's pregnant."
The room was silent for a moment, he could see the disbelief on his parents' faces. "Wh..." his mother studdered. "When...Did this happen?" "Four months ago." he replied moving his attention to his father. "Well what are you two going to do?" his father had a slight sense of anger to his tone. "We're going to raise it together." He held onto Sophie's hand tightly, never wanting to let go. "That's what we've decided to do and we're not changing our minds."
Sophie nodded and clutched onto Andrews hand. She saw that Andrew's mum had a soft, gentle look on her face, Andrews dad had an calm look but she could see the anger in his eyes. "We both decided that we should tell our parents together." She whispered, giving a small smile. She felt a sence of relief but they still had to tell her parents.
"Okay." his mother smiled at them. "This is going to be tough, but I want you two to get through it. We will be here for you, through it all. We'll do whatever we have to, to help you." Andrew smiled at his parents. He let go of Sophie's hand, walking across the room to hug them. He hugged his parents tightly. "I love you two. You're the best parents." He hugged them firmly only for a moment, before moving back to Sophie. "We need to go tell her parents now. We'll be back shortly."
Sophie waved goodbye to Andrew's parents. The walked down the road to Sophie's house. Sophie stopped Andrew and turned to him. "Do we have to do it now?" She whispered, a scared look on her face.

Awe isn't this little guy cute? This is just one of the very cute lessons that I have for you all that is based on a for kids style. Here you will learn "how to draw a chipmunk for kids", step by step. Chipmunks have a quality about them that can only be explained by looking at them. There is no real way to judge a chipmunk because they are seldom seem as they are really fast when they go from one place to the other. Whenever I see a chipmunk it's either when I'm in a car, or walking down a forest path. I think that's way people are so fascinated with this little rodents that live in holes as well as trees. Have fun drawing this chipmunk, and be sure to stay tuned for more to come.

NEWBERRY — Major league pitcher Michael Roth spoke to Newberry College athletes about achieving greatness and staying "ahead of the curve" at a Jan. 22 presentation in Wiles Chapel Theatre.
Roth, who now pitches for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, played at the University of South Carolina from 2009 to 2012. He was leading pitcher during the 2010 and 2011 national championship games, and was a ninth-round draft pick by the Angels in 2012.
Roth told the student athletes that to have greatness, there were three things you need to do: know where you are going, do tasks uncommonly well, and stay ahead of the curve.
Roth explained each area and told the audience, "If you do those three things, you'll achieve greatness."
Newberry College Athletic Director Matthew Finley believed Roth would be able to relate to the college's athletes.
"Michael is fresh off the student athlete experience, fresh off the field and fresh out of the classroom," Finley says. "He received many awards at South Carolina won a national title. Our students could relate to him as a student and an athlete."
Finley credits 2005 Newberry alum Jack Easterby, who now works as Associate Athletics Director of Strategic Operations, with helping bring Roth to campus. Easterby met Roth while working as a character coach at the University of South Carolina.
"Jack Easterby was instrumental in getting Michael on campus. He hangs with South Carolina athletes," Finley says.
Students praised Roth's presentation.
"I think it's great that we are getting well-known people on campus to inspire, aid, and influence our students to be better people, now and in the future," says student-athlete Alexander Kirby.
Roth says the opportunity to speak at Newberry was welcome.
"I love coming to talk to student athletes," he says. "I know they struggles they are going through. I have been through the same. This is something I want to do and I enjoy doing it."

Enlightenment e17 on OpenBSD (Question about current ports)
Apparently its now possible to run Enlightenment (e17) on openbsd. I am using OpenBSD as one of my desktops, I'd like to install it there. However when I look at the availability of e17, it appears to be only in the current ports section. I really can't mix the release and current ports together can I? I also have a lot of packages I have been installing so far. For example, nano, xfce, firefox, etc. Is there any way to only install e17 and whatever else is related without having to worry about incompatibilities with packages? I dont really have anything i need from release ports.
Edit: Thanks in advance. I appreciate the understanding I've been able to obtain from helpful posters on this forum. |
Enlightenment (E16) was added to the ports tree in 2002.
E17 was added in 2007. Both versions of Englightenment are in the ports tree. The version of E17 for 4.5 is e-20071211p3. Look for e-20071211p3.tgz at your nearest mirror.

Williams died Tuesday night at his home in Branson, Missouri after battling bladder cancer for nearly a year.
The Iowa native built a theater in Branson in 1992 and kept performing there after his diagnosis.
Williams began singing with his brothers as a boy before taking off a solo singer known for his easy style and silky voice.
Among his biggest hits was the song "Moon River."
Williams also hosted his own Emmy-winning variety show "The Andy Williams Show" in the 1960s.
Andy Williams was 84 years old.

Army turns to 'Xena, Warrior Princess' for armor ideas
7/11/2012In its efforts to improve the body armor soldiers wear during combat, the U.S. Army has suddenly realized that female soldiers' bodies are different from men's. As a result, the Army is turning to an interesting source of inspiration as they create new designs: the heroine from the beloved former TV show "Xena, Warrior Princess." Their current women's body armor can cause discomfort and even hinder female soldiers' effectiveness on the battlefield. New designs would allow for narrower shoulders, shorter torso length and could even include plates that conform to body shapes (similar to Xena's armor). Still, we doubt they'll advise soldiers to use that famous "ayiyiyiyi" battle cry.
What TV characters should the military draw inspiration from?

Not that we have any problems working from home, but man does this lovely renovation get our jealousy meter going.
Included in this flip is a gourmet cafe where they can pretty much order food at any time they want (not sure if it's free like Google's though - whose offices, by the way, we also envy), unfinished walls, and a retro charm that's undeniably "cool" in this day and age.
What do you guys think? Too cool for school or just the right amount?
Thanks for catching the typo, Anne_sol!

3. | brown finger | ||
When at an airport and you use the cheep ass toilet paper to wipe your hinney and the paper is so cheep that you end up with your figer getting brow stuff on it. Atlanta airport has the such bad toilet paper I ended up with brown finger.
1. | brown finger | ||
The resultant color of the finger(s) of a person who has just wiped their posterior after defacating, except they didn't wash their hands with soap and water before leaving the bathroom. Related to "yellow finger", a person who does not wash their hands with soap and water after urinating. A person who lives in Oregon and pees outside is not considered a yellow finger if they do not wash up after urinating since their are no sinks handy and a real man does not pee all over his hand no mater where he pees. An office worker who doesn't wash up is always a yellow finger. "Man, did you know Joe is a brown finger? Dude didn't wash his hands after wiping his posterior after defacating"
"Damn, Steve is a yellow finger and a brown finger." "Damn, Paul needs to go see his gastroenterologist. The freak ruined the flowery smell in the bathroom with his incessant farting and fails to wash his brown fingers post defacation." |
2. | brown finger | ||
a male who likes sticking his finger up someones asshole. a brown finger can also be caused by holding shat whilst you eat it.
brownfingers tend to be hobo's or street tramps the ultimate brown finger is a person who's name end's with brown/e who's that trampish guy over ther

Hurricane Sandy left a lot of outdoors victims
Hurricane Sandy likely will only be a memory in the minds of firearms deer hunters when their hunting season begin Nov. 26.
More immediately, Sandy's wet and muddy footprint has left a deep impression.
However, Sandy's wallop included wind gusts of up to 70 mph along with several inches of rain.
Both situations are sure to hamper the harvest of field corn by farmers. And where a deer can find standing corn, hunters as often as not cannot locate deer.
Consequently, deer gun hunters may find frustrating conditions about four weeks from now, when the seven-day statewide firearms deer-hunting season kicks off.
Les Ober, an agent with The Ohio State University's extension service in Geauga County, said that Sandy's rains will almost certainly push back the plucking of corn.
"Maybe even until the ground freezes," Ober said.
Not any better for either the farmer nor the hunter would be that the high winds likely flattened more than a few corn stalks. This is a very real possibility since this year's drought in many cases contributed to development of soft and thin corn stalks, Ober said.
Such factors make stems easy pickings for any strong bursts of wind. And picking up corn ears from off the ground is not something that farmers care for, either.
Even the state's deer management administrator said too much unharvested corn remaining in the fields is not a good thing. Continued...
For the hunters, anyway, said Mike Tonkovich, game biologist with the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
"Hunters can't hunt the corn and the deer stay in it, so, yes, deer hunting can be impacted," Tonkovich says.
Thus, any fallout from where large swaths of standing corn still exists could be "significant and an issue" for deer firearms hunters utilizing those locations, Tonkovich said.
The silver lining in all of this, said Tonkovich, however, is that the to-date deer harvest figures of 29,751 deer is 23 percent ahead of last year's to-date figure of 24,129 deer, Tonkovich said.
All of which means that hunters are on pace to kill a bunch of animals when everything is tallied up at the end of all the various deer-hunting seasons, Tonkovich said.
Yet Sandy's stamp is all over the present, too.
The Geneva Township-based ORCO Sportsmen Club says it has canceled this weekend's Forth Annual Pumpkin and Zombie Target Shoot.
This popular event grew so large that ORCO separated the two activities, the Zombie Target Shoot scheduled for Saturday and the Pumpkin Shoot for Sunday.
Likewise, the Saybrook Township-based Ashtabula Road and Gun Club was forced to scrub a scheduled field trail this past weekend.
The fields and grounds probably will take a week without rain before they can become usable again, a Rod and Gun Club field trial official said. Continued...
For boaters, Sandy has left a lot of storm damage in its wake, especially along the Lake Erie shoreline.
While the Edgewater Marina at Cleveland Lakefront State Park is open, the docks are filled with debris and are thus unsafe. The marina operator is shuttling boat dock renters to their vessels, an Ohio Department of Natural Resources official said.
No other Lake Erie-based state-owned boat launch or marina is closed though caution is urged since debris likely has accumulated at all locations.
No other known interior state-owned marina or boat launch is closed, however, the Natural Resources official said.
