The Alamo Drafthouse has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the greatest movie theaters in the history of mankind…or at least the history of movie theaters. With their signature events, ample food and drink selection, and strict no-talking policy, they make obsolete all tawdry multiplexes and completely redefine the movie-going experience. Here's what they're up to this week!
Thursday September 8th
Robin Hood: Men in Tights Quote-Along
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
Mel Brooks takes a jab at Errol Flynn's, and practically everyone else's, depiction of the classic Sherwood Forrest outlaw. This comedy has everything one could possibly want: clever jokes, slapstick, a wonderful cast, and a non-bloated, still-talented Cary Elwes. Your favorite one-liners will appear on the screen for you to yell out over a pint of mead….or at least one of the Drafthouse's many available beers.
The No Shame Sing-Along
Alamo Lake Creek 7:00pm
"We see you there, sitting in your car, wailing away to Richard Marx. It's okay; don't feel judged. When we saw you mouthing the words to Counting Crows in the grocery story we wanted to find ourselves a gray guitar and play too. And then we thought, "Man! Sing-alongs are fun, but we need more than an outlet for fun- we need an outlet to channel our inner sadness too." We're talking the sadness that keeps you up until 3 a.m. laying in your tub staring at the ceiling and listening to the Goo Goo Dolls on repeat. And with that we put together the No Shame Soft Rock Sing-Along with you in mind. It's a masterful collection of songs that you hate to know, secretly love to hear, and can't wait till you get back in your car so you can wail out loud. Also it's an excuse to put an otherwise criminal amount of Hall & Oats and Phil Collins in a show. So let those tears streak down your cheeks as you enter The Action Pack's judgement free zone."—Greg MacLennan via OriginalAlamo.com
Way Gay Sing-Along
Alamo Ritz 9:45pm
"'For the first time in history, it's gonna start raining men!' The Action Pack is assembling THE GAYEST SING-ALONG ever to include all of the best divas, gay icons, and camp classics guaranteed to make you wanna sing out loud and dance double proud for Pride Week. From Madonna to Britney, Wham! to Scissor Sisters, Queen to Mika (I guess that's not that far of a stretch), this sing-along proves the be the gayest yet. So dress up as whichever gender you feel you most identify with and prepare to work it, girl. We'll also have a couple of surprises up our sleeves in addition to interactive props, pre-show games, and every single lyric projected up on the screen for your singing pleasure. WE WILL SEE YOU THERE!"—Greg MacLennan via
Friday September 9th
Monty Python and the Holy Grail Quote-Along
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
Bring your sword, your coconuts, and your knowledge of swallows around the world because it's time for one of the most medieval-y hilarious and utterly quotable movies of all time. Monty Python's wild send-up of the King Arthur legend is fraught with insulting Frenchmen, killer rabbits, stubborn black knights, and huge tracks of land. The film's innumerable fantastic lines will appear on screen for you and your roundtable of friends to call out. Well actually the tables at the Alamo are rectangular, but you get the idea.
The Late Show: Pineapple Express
Alamo Ritz (thru 9/10) Midnight
"At first we thought it couldn't be done; a stoner action flick sounded like a big dopey oxymoron. We imagined epic scenes of a hefty slob battling gravity for the remote and assumed the worst. But when we looked at the cast (a perfect triumvirate of James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Danny McBride all at peaks of their careers) and the crew (David Gordon Green directing, script by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, produced by Judd Apatow) we had a glimmer of hope. That hope was bitch-slapped when we saw this brilliant and brutal movie. The weed-comedy elements are perfect. And the over-the-top violence pairs with it better than Cheetos and fruit loops in chocolate milk. This is not only a must-see flick, it also gets better with repeat viewings; trust us, you missed some things when you watched it for the first time."—Daniel Metz via OriginalAlamo.com
Alamo Survivor's Tip: Monty Python and the Holy Grail is so perfect for this series that it's the movie you could easily point to in order to explain the concept of a Quote-Along to someone who'd never heard of it. The people who love this film, don't just love it because it's quotable, but that will nevertheless ensure that the theater is full of avid fans sure to contribute to the communal enjoyment of the evening.
Saturday September 10th
Only at the Alamo: Can't Stop the Serenity
Alamo Lake Creek Noon; 5:00pm; 10:00pm
"Can't Stop the Serenity is a global series of screenings of the film Serenity, held to raise money and awareness for Equality Now, an international women's rights advocacy group. This year, we're giving support to Kids Need To Read, as well. SafePlace works to end secual and domestic violence through safety, healing, prevention and social change. Please join the Austin Browncoats as they raise money for charity at the Alamo Lake Creek for 2011's Can't Stop The Serenity. This screening is a double feature of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog and Serenity, both written and directed by Joss Whedon. We'll have a raffle of amazing prizes from local and international vendors, as well as an auction of autographed items.
For more information, please visit: http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/austin/index.html" --OriginalAlamo.com
Hecklevision: Choose Your Own
Alamo Ritz 6:45pm
"Ever wish you could program for the Alamo? Ever sat through a Master Pancake show and thought, 'I could do this?' Well, now it's time to put your money where your mouth is because The Action Pack is giving YOU the opportunity to show up with your perfect heckle-able movie and let the audience decide which one we are going to make fun of. Got a copy of that totally awesome made-for-TV movie where Ben Affleck is strung out on steroids? Bring it in! Always thought it might be funny to make fun of The Passion of the Christ? If this audience is sick and twisted enough, we just might. Charge up your phones and expect the unexpected because anything goes at this Choose Your Own Hecklevision where your texted heckles will appear uncensored in real-time alongside the feature."—Greg MacLennan via OriginalAlamo.com
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Alamo Village 11:55pm
Thrill to all the cheap laughs, cheap women, and cheap production values of one of the world's premier bad movies. Watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show in-and-of-itself is an event, but it takes on a whole new life when witnessed within the walls of The Alamo Village with loads of audience participation, dressed-up patrons, and general wickedness that has become a vital component to the film's meteoritic rise to cult film legend.
Alamo Survivor's Tip: If you are a Joss Whedon fan, and there do seem to be a lot of you out there, I highly recommend attending You Can't Stop the Serenity. Not only is a great opportunity to see the big screen adaptation of/followup to Firefly, but you'd also be contributing to a wonderful cause. What would a true Browncoat do?
Sunday September 11th
Only at the Alamo: Can't Stop the Serenity
Alamo Lake Creek Noon
Slacker 2011
Alamo Village 7:00pm
"1991's Slacker is a love story to Austin, Texas and a near-documentary portrait of that era in its history. For twenty years, Austin has been defined by the film and its band of eccentric city-dwellers, dragworms and proto-hipsters. Two decades later, a new generation of filmmakers have emerged in the wake of this film. It is now their turn to tell the story of Austin. 24 of Austin's brightest young filmmakers have banded together to update Slacker with their own perspectives on the city. Slacker 2011 is a stream-of-consciousness chronicle of a day in Austin, presenting the various personalities and locations that give the city its identity. The film showcases how the town has transformed so drastically from that moment in 1991, and also how some things never change. Slacker 2011 is a funny and thoroughly creative send-up of the original film and of twenty years of Austin filmmaking, presenting the city's changing face while showcasing some of its most exciting talent."—OriginalAlamo.com
Four Lions
Alamo Village 7:20
"Chris Morris' Four Lions is a funny, thrilling comedy that illuminates modern jihadism through the prism of farce. What This Is Spinal Tap did for heavy metal and Dr. Strangelove did for the Cold War, Four Lions does for the modern face of terrorism. In a British city, four men have a secret plan. Omar is disillusioned about the treatment of Muslims around the world and is determined to become a soldier. This is the most exciting idea Waj has ever heard -- better still it's a no-brainer because Omar does his thinking for him. Opposed to Omar -- and everyone else on earth -- is the white Islamic convert Barry. He would realize he'd joined the cell to channel his nihilism -- if he had half the self-knowledge of a duck. Faisal is the odd man out. He can make a bomb, but he can't blow himself up just now 'cuz his sick dad has "started eating newspaper." Instead, he's training crows to fly bombs through windows. This is what Omar has to deal with. They must strike a decisive blow on their own turf but can any of them strike a match without punching himself in the face? Crackling with wit and tension, Four Lions is the essential response to our failure to engage with reality and a high toast to the idea that laughter is better than killing."—OriginalAlamo.com
Rolling Road Show: Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Downtown Austin 7:30pm
"Join us as we prepare for back-to-school season with the greatest movie ever about… playing hooky from school?!? Yup, come pull up your folding chair or blanket, enjoy a beer or two, and revel in the '80s school skipping glory that is Ferris Bueller's Day Off right on San Jacinto Street between 5th and 6th streets. Really, we never need much of an excuse to watch Ferris and enjoy a street-fair atmosphere with food vendors and beer tents. But, we actually have a pretty good one: It's a benefit for 6ixth Street Austin, a non-profit organization that strives to make the E. Sixth Street Historic District a source of pride to the Austin community by advocating for the preservation and enhancement of the district's unique historic character, creating a vibrant mixed-use district, which locals and visitors alike will use its diverse offerings and making E. Sixth Street an important economic and cultural asset to the community. These are the good guys and you should support them."—OriginalAlamo.com
Alamo South Lamar (thru 9/15) 10:00pm
"Internationally known as 'The Live Music Capital of the World,' Austin's music culture has led it to become one of the world's most sought-after destinations. As nearly two dozen high-rises pop up throughout the city amidst economic downfall, how does the working musician get along? Directed by Nathan Christ and photographed by Robert Garza, Echotone is a cultural portrait of the modern American city examined through the lyrics and lens of its creative class. Interweaving the tales of these young artists to form a mosaic illustrating the universal struggle many contemporary fringe cultures are experiencing, Echotone is a modern parable on integrity set against the back drop of a global economic, political, and cultural paradigm shift."—OriginalAlamo.com
Fantastic Fest Presents: Julia's Eyes
Alamo Village (thru 9/15) 10:00pm (9:30 on 9/12)
"Produced by mastermind Guillermo del Toro, Julia's Eyes is a creepy thriller highlighted by a foreboding atmosphere. Belen Rueda, who starred in 2007 Fantastic Fest favorite The Orphanage, attacks the title role with gusto and intensity. Julia, a young woman with a degenerative eye disease, is smart and tough but equally terrified of her impending blindness. The film puts us inside Julia's head, showing us her slowly darkening view of the world in a way that feels almost claustrophobic. Her fears become our fears and the tension is almost palpable. There are plenty of twists and turns as the the plot ramps up to a horrifying climax."—Luke Mullen via OriginalAlamo.com
Team America: World Police Quote-Along
Alamo Ritz 10:00pm
As evidence that we shall indeed never forget, the Alamo spotlights all the best aspects of America: making fun of celebrities, absurd levels of action violence, and puppet sex. As much as you might want to, as much as Matt and Trey's marionette masterpiece may tempt you, it is simply not safe to quote this movie at work. Therefore, come to the Alamo Drafthouse and shout encouragement to the World Police as they show the terrorists their game is through.
TV at the Alamo: Breaking Bad
Alamo South Lamar & Lake Creek 10:00pm
"This six-time Emmy Award winning drama from AMC is probably the best show about meth cookers since I Love Lucy. Bryan Cranston, who has won the Best Lead Actor award three years in a row, stars as Walter White, a science teacher turned crystal meth kingpin in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Every week, we will be watching last week's episode followed by the new episode, recorded on DVR so we can fastforward through commercials. For the premiere episode, we will watch the Season 3 finale first!"—OriginalAlamo.com
Alamo Survivor's Tip: The Drafthouse has arranged a pair of unconventional events to commemorate the tragic events of 9/11. At first glance, these may seem like inappropriate tributes, but so much of our ability to heal and grow after such a terrible tragedy is our ability to laugh. Four Lions and Team America: World Police dare to defy the oppressiveness of terror by laughing in its face. If we could all learn to do the same, those scars would become far less visible.
Monday September 12th
Fantastic Fest Classic: Three Outlaw Samurai
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
"When we think of samurai cinema many of us only know the (admittedly) brilliant films of Akira Kurosawa, but if we only examine these high-art films, we are missing out on the vitality of the genre as a whole. It's a little like judging all westerns by Brokeback Mountain. One director who made superior mainstream, commercially viable chanbara (swordplay) films was Hideo Gosha. Recently Japanese director Takeshi Miike has sung his praises and identified him as a great influence on his own work. Three Outlaw Samurai was Gosha's first film as a director and it has the vulgar energy of exploitation film although it is exceptionally well made. It's a hugely action-packed story of the collision of three Samurai in a small town wracked by social division. There are phenomenal action sequences as the conflicts reach their resolution in the only way possible, with slashing steel and flowing blood. Special thanks to Criterion and Janus Films for this special 35mm film presentation."—OriginalAlamo.com
SxSW Presents: Pelada
Alamo Village 7:00pm
"Away from professional stadiums, bright lights, and manicured fields, there's another side of soccer. Tucked away on alleys, side streets, and concrete courts, people play in improvised games. Every country has a different word for it. In the United States, we call it "pick-up soccer." In Trinidad, it's "taking a sweat." In England, it's "having a kick-about." In Brazil, the word is "pelada," which literally means "naked"—the game stripped down to its core. It's the version of the game played by anyone, anywhere—and it's a window into lives all around the world. Pelada is a documentary following Luke and Gwendolyn, two former college soccer stars who didn't quite make it to the pros. Not ready for it to be over, they take off, chasing the game. From prisoners in Bolivia to moonshine brewers in Kenya, from freestylers in China to women who play in hijab in Iran, Pelada is the story of the people who play."—OriginalAlamo.com
Music Monday: Wild Style
Alamo Ritz 9:45pm
"Hip-hop rolls on tractor treads now, unafraid to colonize those who hesitate, but in 1982 it was small, self-selecting, and as specific to New York as the World Trade Center. Watching Wild Style, it's hard to believe that hip-hop was about to steal away the role of historical yeast from punk. The plot tracks Zoro (Lee Quinones) on his anxious transition from layups to galleries accompanied by reporter Virginia (Patti Astor). Fab Five Freddy, as uptown ambassador Phade, generates the same pleasant dissonance Divine brought to John Waters movies, looking off to greener pastures and redder carpets in the middle of a low-budget art movie. Wild Style shows hip-hop when it was just some New York shit, one of many things to do on Saturday night. It had to learn to become hegemonic."— Sasha Frere-Jones, Village Voice via OriginalAlamo.com
Tuesday September 13th
AFS Essential Cinema: Fallen Angels
Alamo South Lamar 7:00pm
"Parallel lives of a suave hitman, a lovesick housemaid, a sweet-hearted criminal who hasn't spoken since age 5, and a young woman pining for a lost love -- all occasionally brushing against one another in the neon-flooded nights of Hong Kong. In Cantonese with English subtitles. 'In the mid-1970s through the 80s, the Hong Kong film industry received a much needed shot-in-the-arm from young filmmakers returning from study abroad, brimming over with new ideas of how to tell primarily contemporary stories set in Hong Kong. They would set off the HK New Wave of films bursting with visual flair and audacious themes.' (Chale Nafus, AFS)"—OriginalAlamo.com
Girlie Night: Mean Girls
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
"I know Congress has a lot going on right now, but I still cannot believe that they haven't yet passed a law requiring every freshman to receive a copy of Mean Girls before the first day of class. Hello, it's only the most important survival guide to high school ever created! Without Mean Girls, how would you understand the importance of befriending lovable, self-described freaks like Janice and Damian? How would you figure out that you're supposed to dress sexy, not scary, for Halloween? How would you discover that you should never, ever eat a Kalteen bar? And, most importantly, how else would you know that Regina George's hair is full of secrets? This film is jam-packed with vital tips from Her Royal Highness Tina Fey, who created characters I love to hate and continue to quote, seven years after the movie hit screens. Mean Girls is a modern day classic, and at Girlie Night, we'll give it all of the adoration it deserves. Join us as we hate on the Plastics, cheer for the Mathletes and celebrate the one thing Lindsay Lohan did right. Trust falls optional!"—OriginalAlamo.com
Terror Tuesday: Fright Night Part 2
Alamo Ritz 9:45pm
"With remakes and adaptations outnumbering original films by 4 to 1, it's clear that Hollywood is determined to shit in every nostalgic corner of our brains. But back in the '80s, sequels were king, often jumping through flaming hoops to outdo the previous installment in sheer insanity (if not budget). Fright Night Part 2 is a perfect example: a barbarous self-vampirization of the 1985 original, but with a half-dozen bonus monsters and the triumphant return of the great Roddy McDowall as not-so-fearless vampire hunter Peter Vincent. This time, the bloodsuckers are partying hard on the college campus, doing everything from climbing walls to using human heads as bowling balls. See an enormous man eat a moth and then get in a dog-bark argument with a werewolf, brilliantly played by Alamo favorite Jon Gries (Terrorvision; Joysticks). Come enjoy this slab of hilarious undead hostility before they "re-imagine" it starring Jack Black or Carrot Top or whatever. Jesus christ."—Zack Carlson via OriginalAlamo.com

Celluloid Handbag: Funny Girl
Alamo Ritz 7:00pm
"Pull out ya' roller skates, tuck in ya' pillow, put on ya' poker face and strap on tha' tugboat cuz CELLULOID HANDBAG is finally throwin' down the ace up tha' sleeve, Ladies and Gentlepigs! We've sat on this musical for so long we damned near expected a call from Mega-Streisand herself! … so without further ado, REBECCA HAVEMEYER and her pre-show from hell presents to you the greatest gift tha' world has ever seen or heard … it's Funny Girl! Barbra Streisand, the woman with a face that care forgot, commands the role of a lifetime in this box office smash that can bring any queen to his knees! You owe it to yourselves not to miss this phenomenon, people….people…who need….people!"—Rebecca Havemeyer via OriginalAlamo.com
AFS Best of Fests: My Sucky Teen Romance
Alamo Village 7:00pm
Self-taught filmmaker Emily Hagins is still in her teens and has already directed THREE indie feature films! Her latest, My Sucky Teen Romance, debuted this year at SXSW and proved this homegrown wunderkind continues to evolve her craft with each new project. We're proud to partner with Austin Film Society to present this encore screening. On 17-year-old Kate's last weekend in town, she and her friends plan to spend it together at SpaceCON - the local sci-fi convention they attend every year. There, Kate meets Paul, a recently turned teen-vampire. But when the awkward teen romance goes wrong, Kate is bitten and turns into a vampire. Kate and her friends discover that Paul is not the only other vampire at the convention, and it is up to them to stop the bad guys and find a way to turn Kate back before it is too late."—OriginalAlamo.com
Alamo Survivor's Tip: Emily Hagins is an incredible filmmaker. Her latest film, My Sucky Teen Romance, is a wonderful comedy in its own right and a telling portent as to her potential to one day kick serious amounts of ass in Hollywood. If you want to see why this eighteen-year-old girl is already making so much noise in the film industry, do yourself a favor and come see My Sucky Teen Romance.
Robin Hood: Men In Tights Quote-Along
Alamo Lake Creek 7:00pm
Weird Wednesday: The Girl Who Knew Too Much
Alamo Ritz 10:45pm
One actor I can never get enough of is Adam West, who became a self parody even more quickly than William Shatner. And like Shatner, he always approaches a part in the broadest possible way. Outside of the Batman series, West has played few leads, which is unfortunate because he can be a very entertaining performer. Here he's supernaturally tough and cool as a former mercenary who's trying to walk the straight and narrow as a nightclub owner until he gets drawn back into the killing business by some unsavory mob types. There's also an anti-communist, pro-CIA slant to the plot which feels very '50s, even though this was made during the sick sick sixties. With the beautiful Nancy Kwan, Robert Alda and a cast of familiar faces, as well as some raging live musical numbers. Not to be confused with Mario Bava's earlier film of the same name."—Lars Nilsen via OriginalAlamo.com
Master Pancake: The Breakfast Club
9/10 6:30pm; 10:00pm
"As the world goes back to school, Master Pancake heads to the classroom to throw spitballs at The Breakfast Club. Starring puffy-lipped princess Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez and most of the rest of the Brat Pack as a quintet of misfits stuck in detention one fateful afternoon. As always, the Master Pancakers will artfully ridicule the 80's fashion, sentimentality, and general preposterousness of the film, but nevertheless, many will still leave convinced that if we just talk to each other we can overcome all social barriers and that a Jock can fall in love with a Cure fan. Come out this August and laugh derisively on the outside while your spirit is uplifted on the inside as Master Pancake rips up The Breakfast Club."—OriginalAlamo.com
Big Screen Classics: Dog Day Afternoon
9/11 6:30pm
"Based on a true 1972 story, Sidney Lumet's 1975 drama chronicles a unique bank robbery on a hot summer afternoon in New York City. Shortly before closing time, scheming loser Sonny (Al Pacino) and his slow-witted buddy, Sal (John Cazale), burst into a Brooklyn bank for what should be a run-of-the-mill robbery, but everything goes wrong. This is what film is all about and a true pleasure to see on the big screen on an original 35mm print! The Society For The Performing Arts will be on hand to give away 2 pairs of tickets for their upcoming visit from Al Pacino: One Night Only at Jones Hall!"—OriginalAlamo.com
Ultimate One Hit Wonders Sing-Along
9/14 7:30pm
"Listen, we hate the Macarena as much as the next red-blooded American, and Who Let the Dogs Out has turned into more of an anthem for pain than empowerment. But just because those are some of the first songs you think of when you hear ONE HIT WONDER doesn't mean all bands with one hit are bad. I mean just look at Chumbawumba...Well, maybe that's a bad example, but despite them only having one hit, they did have full intention of getting back up again (I mean they said it themselves. They're totally coming back, right?). Prove it, you say? And prove it The Action Pack shall. All these quickly adored and easily forgettable bands will unite for a blissful stroll down memory lane at the Ultimate One Hit Wonders Sing-Along! Typically we restrain ourselves and lock down on a specific decade when it comes to tapping into our one hitters' vault, but we're feeling kinda crazy and unleashing THE GREATEST COLLECTION OF ONE HIT WONDERS EVER ASSEMBLED from the '70s, '80s, '90s, and '00s. So if yo' butt is stuffed and yo' curves are kicking you can take me on! (....take on me)"—Greg MacLennan via OriginalAlamo.com
The Big Lebowski Quote-Along
9/8 7:00pm
If you love the Cohen Brothers' tribute to shiftless losers with mad bowling skills and penchants for Creedence Clearwater Revival, this is the place to be. All your favorite one-liners from The Dude will flash across the screen to prompt your collective vocal worship of this masterful comedy.

9/12 7:00pm; 10:00pm
"Forget tedious hours spent sifting through dirt for pottery shards, Dr. Indiana Jones knows how to do archeology right: by trotting around the globe snatching ancient objects, narrowly escaping unfriendly natives, romancing sassy barmaids with his roguish charm, and fighting Nazis with his dukes and a whip. Really, what's not to love about this globetrotting adventure-fest? An absolute must-see on the BIG screen, we're proud to present Raiders in a brand new 2K digital format."—OriginalAlamo.com

About Welsh Run Kennels French Brittany
French Brittany Gun Dogs for the home and field. Your new dog will have the superb natural hunting instinct and outstanding temperament that marks every Welsh Run pup: friendly, eager, and great with kids and other pets. Our dogs are bold hunters with a lot of natural drive and ability--bold on brambles, great in wet country, too. Most are pointing by 6 weeks.
Every hunting dog is first and foremost, a family pet. For that reason, temperament is a priority at Welsh Run: our pups are gentle with kids, biddable and easily trained. Our puppies are raised in a loving home environment (no cages) and leave us only to go to the same. They have been socialized from birth with children, cats and other dogs.
All our dogs are registered AKC/UKC. We hip check our dogs and post their pedigrees on our website. We have a lot of fun, but our breeding goal is serious: to produce a select number of dogs with strong hunting instinct, proper conformation, and excellent temperament. 95% of our pups are field hunters. Find out why Epagneul Bretons are the best hunting dogs in the world! We prefer pick-up but can ship anywhere in U.S. as needed. Must see photos!

Submitted by: Tim Fahrer on Feb 13, 2007First let me just say that we totally love our dog, Bucky. He is such a loving and intelligent puppy! It amazes me how sweet and friendly this dog is! We just love him so much. We are feeling like this is a great match of a dog for us.
He is the best dog ever. He is friendly, loving, and great with children and other dogs. He knows how to sit, stay, heel, roll-over, shake, and he also rings a bell at the door when he wants to go out to do his business! He is very quick to learn things. He is in great health. Thanks so much for hooking us up with a companion as great as Bucky. I know that finding the right breeder was the place to start! Anytime you ever need a reference for a potential client, you can count on me. I would without hesitation refer your service. Thanks to you and your family for doing such a fine job.
Submitted by: Rick Carbaugh on Feb 13, 2007Our dog Blue is now the head of the house and office! He pretty much does everything we do. He took to water like a fish and swims very well. He has grown quite a bit. He is over 18 lbs. now and has a great temperament. On walks through the fields, he has actually honed in on a bird or two. We had Blue along to Alpine Lake in West Virginia last weekend with another couple. They were impressed at how relaxed and calm he was. He was no trouble at all, even on the 3 hour ride there and 3 hour ride home! He sleeps very well, no matter where we are. Rick is anxious to get hunting pictures with him and all the birds!!!!
Thanks for getting us with such a great dog,
Rick & Patti
Submitted by: Bree and Scott Walter on Feb 13, 2007We've named the puppy Camp. His natural hunting ability is wonderful; we have noticed trainability, pointing, and stalking wildlife. Camp will be hunting wild grouse and woodcock in wooded areas. His temperament is very calm and good. He has bonded wonderfully with our family. He loves the children and they love him. I would recommend Welsh Run Kennels--it was a good experience, you are very personable and helpful. The web site is great, the best we found. It showed your philosophy and the living arrangement of the dogs.
Submitted by: Tommy and Laura Binder on Feb 13, 2007We have seen quite a bit of hunting ability in Missy. She is constantly stalking and chasing birds and squirrels. Very sweet and loving. Our experience with Welsh Run Kennels was very enjoyable. Lindsay loves checking your website for updated pictures of Missy.
Submitted by: Tom Williams on Feb 13, 2007Laurie is great to talk with. I really appreciate the time she took to share her knowledge, it makes everyone feel more comfortable with their decisions about our new pup.

.netviewstate and encryptionWillB Apr 20, 2012 1:25 PM (in response to Matthew Mangold)
SSL protects you from others seeing a user's traffic, but in these case you are trying to protect your application from the user viewing or altering information that is contained in the request. So the SSL doesn't really help since it is the user you are worried about (think malicious user).
The viewstate can contain information that is passed along during a session and in some cases could contain data that you don't want to have the user be able to see or modify from request to request. This is a rare situation as most data contained in a viewstate will not be of much significance. But the best practice is to encrypt the viewstate to protect against the rare situation in which it may have sensitive information or allow modification in a way that would cause the application an issue. Encryption keeps the user from being able to read or tamper with the viewstate information. There really is no good reason not to encrypt except that it takes a few extra CPU cycles to perform the encryption.
Hope this helps

U.S. Postal Service:
Delivery Mode Conversions Could Yield Large Savings, but More Current Data Are Needed
GAO-14-444: Published: May 12, 2014. Publicly Released: May 12, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-2834
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) estimates of delivery mode costs and potential savings from converting to less costly modes show that door-to-door delivery is much more costly than delivery to a curbside or centralized mailbox and that USPS could achieve large savings by mandating large-scale conversions from door delivery to other modes. For fiscal year 2012, USPS estimated average annual costs of about $380 per delivery point for door delivery, compared with about $240 for delivery to the curb, and about $170 for delivery to a central location. USPS also estimated potential ongoing savings of over $2 billion annually from mandating conversion of about one-third of door deliveries to other modes. However, USPS's estimates of these specific costs and savings have limitations, in part because they rely on data from a 1994 USPS study. In lieu of current data, USPS adjusted the 1994 data according to increases in the Consumer Price Index—an adjustment that may not have been the same as changes in USPS delivery costs, which are affected by factors such as increases in postal wage rates, postal benefit costs, and gasoline prices. USPS officials estimate a new study could be conducted to replace the 1994 study for a total of about $100,000 to $750,000, depending on the extent of the study. Without current information on costs of delivery modes and on potential savings through delivery conversions, USPS and lawmakers may not have an accurate understanding of the impact of delivery mode changes on which to base their decisions.
USPS has taken some actions to shift door deliveries to less costly delivery modes on a voluntary basis, but it faces stakeholder resistance and other impediments to mandatory conversions. USPS revised its regulations in April 2012 specifying that USPS determines the mode of delivery for new addresses and that new addresses must receive less costly modes, such as centralized delivery, unless USPS approves an exception. Additionally, USPS implemented voluntary business conversions in fiscal year 2013. USPS reported that 43,333 out of about 5.6 million business door delivery points—or about 0.8 percent—were voluntarily converted in fiscal year 2013. USPS has set a modest goal of about 35,000 additional voluntary business conversion goals for fiscal year 2014. USPS also converted about 36,302 out of about 32.2 million residential door delivery points—or about 0.1 percent—to centralized delivery on a voluntary basis in fiscal year 2013. Through the voluntary conversion process, customers on a route may choose to maintain door delivery, reducing the number of conversions and lowering potential savings. Large-scale mandatory conversions have the potential to achieve large savings. However, USPS is reluctant to mandate conversions. There is some evidence that USPS would face resistance from customers, USPS employees, and mailing industry stakeholders if it were to implement mandatory conversion of delivery to less costly modes. Stakeholder concerns include personal safety, mail security, and difficulty finding suitable urban locations for boxes to deliver mail to a curbside or centralized location.
Why GAO Did This Study
USPS is expected to provide prompt, reliable and efficient nationwide service while remaining self-supporting, but it is facing serious fiscal challenges with insufficient revenues to cover its expenses. Mail delivery is USPS's largest cost area, totaling about $30 billion annually. Although USPS lacks authority to make certain changes that could reduce costs, it does have the authority to convert from more expensive to less expensive delivery modes.
GAO was asked to examine potential cost savings and issues related to delivery conversion. This report discusses: (1) the estimated costs of each delivery mode and potential savings associated with converting to less costly modes and (2) USPS actions to convert to less costly delivery modes and any impediments to conversions. GAO obtained and analyzed USPS estimates from fiscal years 1994 through 2012 on delivery mode costs as well as potential savings from conversions to less costly modes and determined that the estimates have limitations, which we discuss in the report. GAO also interviewed officials from USPS and mailing industry stakeholders.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that USPS collect updated data on delivery mode costs and the potential savings of converting to less costly modes of delivery and establish a time frame for publicly reporting the results. USPS agreed with the recommendation.
For more information, contact Lorelei St. James at (202) 512-2834 or email@example.com.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: USPS plans to implement this recommendation within the next two years (i.e., by May 2018). According to USPS, this will require additional data collection and analysis. For example, USPS plans to assess its delivery network to understand the potential for converting delivery points, but has not yet collected data on the potential savings of large-scale conversions from door delivery to other modes of delivery. USPS stated that for each delivery point, USPS will need to analyze the location, property rights, zoning laws, and logistical and other legal issues. In addition, USPS said it planned future research to understand the impact of delivery mode conversion on mail volume and revenue.
Recommendation: To improve information needed for USPS and congressional decision making as well as transparency for all stakeholders, USPS's executive leaders should collect and analyze updated data on delivery mode costs and the potential savings from converting delivery points to less costly modes of delivery and establish a time frame for publicly reporting the results.

Looney Tunes
The Looney Tunes is a bi-college, mixed gender a cappella group comprised of students from Haverford and Bryn Mawr Colleges. Our repertoire includes songs from artists such as Ed Sheeran, Kimbra, Sublime, and Boyz II Men. We currently have sixteen (!) looney members, hailing from over eight states and coming from a variety of performing and musical backgrounds (or lack thereof). We're athletes, actors, and academics, with one thing in common: we love singing and performing together.
We hold a number of concerts each year at Bryn Mawr and Haverford, as well as a full-length show at Haverford at the close of each semester. We also do short performances at campus-wide events such as May Day, Parents Weekend, and the Customs Concert.

This is a Folding @Home work in progress Benchmark. Not much to say about this. Tried different drivers but no luck.
FAHBench not working
For more complete information about compiler optimizations, see our Optimization Notice.
Thu, 02/07/2013 - 16:59
We are aware of and working on fixing some OpenMM issues. Can you provide more details on what exactly is not working?
Fri, 02/08/2013 - 02:07
There are different behaviors with different drivers stacks. For 220.127.116.1185 I will see what error I get.
FAHBench.exe -deviceId 0 -platform OpenCL -precision single
After that command program says: checking for accuracy...done
And then it immediately crashes (appcrash FAHBench.exe).

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I tried an internal driver build and I get

Not sure what the expected output is but I cannot reproduce what you are seeing. I'll install the versions you mentioned and try again and get back to you.
Tue, 02/12/2013 - 02:36
That looks nice and performance pretty good, comparable to A10-5800K or GT430. It is fixed already then it seems. When does Intel release the driver?
Wed, 02/13/2013 - 11:31
We dont have a date yet, but it'll be out shortly. I'll let you know as soon as the driver is out.
Wed, 02/13/2013 - 13:50
I was able to get it to run on our IVB CPU and GPU with the same driver that Raghu is using. Here are the results:
CPU => Explicit: 3.29623 ns/day, Implicit: 18.7814 ns/day
GPU => Explicit: 3.10708 ns/day, Implicit: 3.13564 ns/day
Do those numbers look good? Also we noted some strange behavior with the benchmark. We found that you could put any number in for the deviceId and it would still run. Is this the expected behavior?
Wed, 02/13/2013 - 14:47
I'm not the developer, can't answer that question. There is a dev mail address so you might write them a mail and ask. As for the numbers, yes they are pretty good for HD4000. Your 18.7814 ns/day result must be from GPU not CPU. A 4 core CPU can't be that fast.
Here you have some for comparison: http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=23440
I noticed there is a HD4000 result on the last page. Comparable to A10-5800k (7660D) and GT430, usually we would expect 7660D and GT430 to be much faster than HD4000 but not the case here.
Thu, 02/14/2013 - 10:59
I could check again, but I used task manager and GPA to ensure my tests were being ran on the appropriate devices. I don't have access to your sources and there was the issue with the binaries accepting various deviceIds. There may be some other issues as to why the numbers came out the way thay did. I ran the tests several times and the results were fairly consistent. I could try on a different machine though?
Thu, 02/14/2013 - 12:29
You might check GPU load with GPUz while running fahbench. If it runs on GPU then GPU load should be something around 100% I guess. Did you run the benchmark with "FAHBench.exe -deviceId 0 -platform OpenCL -precision single"?
Wed, 02/20/2013 - 15:44
I could try it myself finally.

I am glad it worked for you.
Hi Michael,
I wrote FAHBench (I also work on OpenMM and Folding@Home). Thanks a lot for testing this out, I'm quite happy to see Intel working on their OpenCL implementation.
As for Chuck De Sylva (Intel)'s deviceId question, FAHBench is designed to allow it to work on multi-GPU/CPUs as well. Version 0.5 didn't do a check for validity of indices, the next version will have better checking. Valid deviceId should be reported by the --display-devices. A lot of us run on systems that have ridiculously combinations of devices that support OpenCL.
PS - we'd love to hear more about the Xeon Phi's
Mon, 04/29/2013 - 09:06
Performance wise, Intel appears to have a rather mature OpenCL implementation which is surprising considering that Intel has just added OpenCL 1.2 support whereas AMD has been offering that feature for quite some time.
But their Explicit score for the i7-3770k is too low. 3.4 is the correct score.
Sun, 05/12/2013 - 10:31
FAHBench 1.2.0 doesn't work anymore with HD4000. Not good.
Sun, 05/12/2013 - 21:14
Here with my code (completely unrelated to FAHBench) I have encountered a bug in the latest driver and the one before that.
A fix (been told that they had it fixed on a branch) might make it to the next driver but until then I am stuck with 188.8.131.5232.
FAHBench 1.2.0 might be a similar issue.
Mon, 05/13/2013 - 12:10
Can you provide some details and steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing. I will take a look and see if its the same issue that Laurent was seeing with his application.
Mon, 05/13/2013 - 14:15
Start the benchmark on HD4000, programm says benchmarking and nothing happens. The system freezes and I have to reset my PC.
Mon, 05/13/2013 - 18:05
Ok that doesn't sound like my issue at all :) At least I was able to run my program fine, the result wasn't correct though.
Tue, 05/14/2013 - 14:10
What version of the driver were you using when your system froze?
Tue, 05/14/2013 - 14:49
I tested 18.104.22.16871 and 126.96.36.19931. I heard that running on CPU works fine (haven't tried myself). Only the GPU doesn't work.
Thu, 05/16/2013 - 20:23
Matches what I saw with my code too. I had to revert to the driver before these two.
Sat, 06/01/2013 - 15:46
On the compute side, I couldn't get our Folding@Home benchmark to work
I'm not the only one.
Tue, 06/04/2013 - 12:18
Apparently FAHBench is not supposed to be run on Intel Graphics (coming from OpenMM and FAHBench developers). This is a known issue and the default behavior of the benchmark is to run on CPU when running on Intel Platforms with processor graphics. Did you try forcing the benchmark to run on the Intel GPU device?
Tue, 06/04/2013 - 12:28
I didn't try CPU. They told me this is a driver issue from Intel and I reported back here.

Roku on Tuesday added support for Amazon's online video service to its Internet-to-TV digital player, taking the online retailer into competition with similar services offered by Apple, Blockbuster, and Netflix.
The Roku player makes it possible for people with a broadband connection to connect to the Amazon service for renting DVD-quality movies and TV shows. Amazon has a library of more than 40,000 films and TV shows and offers Hollywood movies the same day they are released on DVD.
The Roku player also provides access to Netflix's video subscription service. The devices connect directly to most televisions and connect to the Internet either through a wired or Wi-Fi connection. Once the device is set up, a user must register the player with the respective service to get access to the content.
The Roku player, which is about the size of a paperback book, is for streaming content only and doesn't have a hard drive for storage. The device costs $99 and is available through the company's Web site or Amazon.
Blockbuster offers a direct-to-TV player built in partnership with 2Wire, a company that provides software and hardware for delivering Web content to home TVs. Apple offers movies and TV shows through its iTunes online store and sells the Apple TV device to connect the store to a TV.
While streaming and renting movies over the Web is small in terms of revenue when compared with DVD rentals, analysts believe that consumers eventually will turn to the Web for movies much as they have for music. Online music services have had a major impact on falling CD sales.

NBA JAM by EA SPORTS, the classic 2-on-2 arcade basketball game, has been brought to iOS by Electronic Arts and is now available from the app store. A faithful interpretation of the exhilarating game we remember from our youth, NBA JAM brings all the sound, fury, and raw excitement that one can expect from a manic, larger-than-life game of monster dunks and fiery hoops.
NBA JAM by EA SPORTS Pros:
- Awesome arcade action
- Great graphics with recognizable player faces
- Terrific audio with Tim Kitzrow's signature play-calling
- Easy-to-use controls
- Campaign mode and challenges to unlock hidden players and cheats
NBA JAM by EA SPORTS Cons:
- Lack of multiplayer functionality
NBA JAM contains two modes: Play Now to get you right into the action and Classic Campaign for methodically picking apart 2-man teams from the entire league with the added bonus of unlocking hidden teams, players, and privileges. All 30 teams are present with a selection of current stars and locked stars from days gone by. Completing Challenges allows you to unlock some of these players, as well as special cheats and balls. There are 4 difficulty levels to choose from, giving you the opportunity to tailor the game to your abilities. Gameplay is fast and furious, as you take control of one of the two players on your team. The CPU-controlled player handles his business while you handle yours, though you can call for passes and alley-oops as you see fit. Quarters last 3 minutes each, so games last less than 15 minutes altogether. The focus of the game is on dunking in the most acrobatic and exciting fashion possible. You can also pull up for jumpers and lay-ins, too, but the real rim-rocking, backboard-shattering fun is in the dunking. Catch a hot streak and you'll literally set the rim on fire, which also improves your accuracy and ability to remain on your hot streak.
Graphically, the crisp look, recognizable player faces, and smooth animations make for a very appealing and familiar style. The soundtrack contains upbeat music, but the real steal is that Tim Kitzrow reprises his role as the announcer extraordinaire, with a ton of awesome catch phrases. There are 2 control schemes, one with a button focus and the other with a gesture focus. A virtual pad on the left side controls movement, while context-specific buttons on the right control passing/stealing/shoving, turbo boost, and shooting/blocking/dunking/alley-ooping. Spin moves can be achieved by shaking the device. Gesture controls use similar mechanics for moving, but all other functions utilize swipes on the right side of the screen for shooting, rebounding, shoving, and spinning. Tapping the screen will pass the ball or steal, and holding the screen gives you a turbo boost. Shaking the device allows you to spin and throw elbows. Both input methods work well and give you the opportunity to focus on the fun gameplay without worrying about how to perform the maneuvers.
Replay value is great, as NBA JAM hits that spot in our brains that craves more and more. The Challenges act as an achievement system and the Campaign should take some time to complete. Unlocking legendary players and fun cheats also gives you good incentive to keep playing. It's rare that a game comes along that so completely enthralls us, but NBA JAM has done just that. Our only wish is that some type of multiplayer functionality will be included in the future so that we can team up with others to throw down on the court. Regardless, the game is still extremely solid as is and a terrific investment for $4.99. NBA JAM is a 5-Dimple dunkfest that's hot, hot, hot!

This is when I realized that his school, his system were unproven. He sold the school to me because he said that he has this system that no one else has and how it calculates the entry price. He said it was 100% accurate. Well, he had this formula that was impossible to understand and he spent another several months rewriting his formula for us to understand. Shouldn't he have had this done before we joined his school? Because I was paying such a high price, I thought I was getting a quality education, but Mario Marciano is unprofessional and he has few staff for support. Joining SMF was my biggest mistake in 2010 and it cost me a lot of money for his school $30,000 as well as the losses I took on trades. I think he ripped me off by charging me more than he charges other people. Don't trust him.

Advances in Fluid Flow Modeling Software
- Details
- Hits: 235
The technology used in fluid movement software that is modeling commonly referred to as "computational fluid dynamics," or CFD. While the physical laws fluid that is governing are the same for diverse applications, CFD technology is utilized for an amazing array of applications within the oil and gasoline business, from movement of reservoir fluids through natural fractures, to wellbore hydraulics while drilling, to designing separators, to modeling the motions of offshore floating platforms, to debottlenecking of fuel gathering systems, to production optimization of entire oil fields.
What is CFD?
CFD is predicting quantitatively what may happen whenever fluids flow, including pressure drops, temperature transfer, phase modifications, and solids precipitation or movement. The industry of research began in the 1960's and a number of its successes that are first to fruition into the 1970's. An entire service that is new for CFD computer software began within the 1980's and grew considerably throughout the 1990's. Recently, CFD software applications have added official standards, enhanced equations of state and the capacity to integrate along with other software packages, such as 3-D CAD (computer-aided drafting) and finite-element analysis packages for determining stresses in solids.
CFD software solves the equations of state to solve the fluid flow problems set up by the individual. Therefore it is important to have a good understanding of the assumptions and restrictions of the equations of state used into the software for the computed answers to have meaning that is real. The reliability of the calculations is greater for: laminar flows as opposed to turbulent ones; single-phase flows rather than multiphase flows; chemically inert instead than chemically reactive materials; and simple fluids rather than those of complex composition like crude oil. Approximation and simplification of the input factors can add significant errors to the results that are final.
CFD for Surface Places
A few of the most applications that are basic CFD include modeling fluid flows through pipes, valves, chokes and orifice meters. Richard W. Miller, author of the measurement that is flow Handbook, is rolling out his Flow Consultant software to contain the precise equations of state, not generalized equations, as the foundation for his calculations. Miller also included every one of the recognized criteria, such as the United states Gas Association (AGA), the American Petroleum Institute (API), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the American National guidelines Institute (ANSI), additionally the Global Standards Organization (ISO) standards. The software that is modular designers to calculate pressure drop, phase modifications, flow rates and orifice sizes for fluid gathering systems, changing the units of measurement from centipoises to Pascal-seconds with a click for the mouse.
"Some regarding the other software programs are not as up-to-date regarding standards," said Miller, whom acts on several of these requirements committees. "Others utilize approximate equations. But some flowmeters have become cash registers, so they need to be more exact. today" He warns that some of this older programs have not incorporated changes that are recent the gas expansion factor for orifice meters. "Old computations are therefore not up to the latest standards."
The newest Consultant that is flow release version 5.1, includes fixed geometry and V-cone devices, in addition to Foxboro Integral Flow Orifice, Elbow, Multiport Averaging and Taylor Wedge meters. Constants for calculating the properties of hundreds of fluids are included, along with manufacturer's constants for virtually every model of orifice plate,
Nozzle or Venturi
"In the 1970's there clearly was an initial wave of improvement in accuracy with the Coriolis mass meters, but today there is a wave that is second due to the increased competition for power, where people have the ability to have faith in the precision of the orifice meters," Miller stated.
Ray Hardee, Chief Engineer at Engineered Software in Houston, noted that fluid flow models are being used differently today. "It's very interesting that more and more people are utilising the model once it is built. We accustomed just offer to designers and consultants, and they accustomed calculate the choke points. But today also operating and maintenance people are employing the model to get out what pumps are not working, to troubleshoot and also to compare operations that are real whatever they must be based on the model. You can see if equipment is ill he stated before it actually dies.
His business's pc software, PIPE-FLO Professional, has pipeline requirements and engineering data tables that are accessed with a simply click of the mouse. Instead, the user can enter custom pipe specs, pump curves or property that is fluid other than the 700+ currently included with the program. The Darcy-Weisbach technique is used for fluid flow, therefore the pipe community is balanced making use of the path solution method that is simultaneous. "Adjusting the pump bend for viscosity is a time that is big," Hardee stated.
Applications of this CFD computer software include sizing a pump that is centrifugal, calculating a pump's net positive suction mind for different flow rates, correcting control valve issues, and debottlenecking a process plant.
CDF Goes Downhole
M-I Swaco has a VIRTUAL HYDRAULICS program that can be employed to calculate downhole that is critical such as equivalent circulating densities (ECD), static fluid density, frictional pressure losings, and pump pressures. Designed to monitor the performance of compressible synthetic and drilling that is oil-based while drilling, VIRTUAL HYDRAULICS provides accurate downhole rheological information in visual format that can be used to expedite trend analysis and minimize risks. The program also can be used on wells with narrow frac-pressure windows to predict behavior that is fluid spudding and to monitor downhole properties while drilling is in progress. M-I Swaco also has a PRESSPRO RT software package for real-time downhole pressure monitoring, even calculating surge and swab pressures and equivalent dynamic density (EDD) while tripping or casing that is setting.
How does the carpet cleaner work and what are the necessary purposes that it serves
- Details
- Hits: 147
One of the most important appliances that is a must have in any home that boosts of a beautiful carport, is a good and standard carpet cleaner. The reason why it is necessary is because the carpet as may look so beautiful also has the capacity to hold a lot of dirt and dust that are hidden most of the time.

Therefore whether it may seem clean or not, it definitely is not. This is one of the major reasons why you should be cleaning the carpet as often as possible to make sure that none of the allergy causing and health disturbing germs are hiding inside it.
High end cleaning
The best carpet cleaner will be the ones that are perfect for high end cleaning and will maintain the smooth and delicate texture of the carpet and keep it intact without damaging it by any means. One such assurance can be given by the steam machines and are considered to be one of the best types of carpet cleaners that you can come across. They can be very effective in maintaining the hygiene level of the carpet and this will bring you the assurance that the carpet is clean of all the elements that are likely to cause health disturbances.

They are very effective in managing the whole cleaning process very smoothly. All the embedded dirt will be removed and you will be getting a clean and well taken care of carpet. They will not only remove the visible dirt but also the ones that you cannot see. It is always imperative that the choice of your machine is made by cross referencing several factors, to be sure that the one you are using, is providing you all the necessary cleaning features that it promises to provide.
Making the right decision
If you are the one who occasionally cleans the carpet then it is best to get hold of a rented one because the best ones are always going to be expensive and if you are not a frequent user then it is difficult maintain the costs of the cleaner and also keep it in motion after several days of non-use. Or you could get hold of the best carpet cleaners so that the investment remains low and also the work gets done.
Thus do keep in mind the several issues that are related to the buying of the carpet cleaners and make sure that the purchase you are making is great for the carpet that you have back at home or in your office or the furniture shop that you own. Moreover it is important to understand that even though size does matter it is essential that you check all the specifications of the machine before purchasing so that you are sure it offers exactly those benefits which you are in need of.

Purifying your home with the best home air purifier helps you to get rid of all health issues besides dispelling the harmful particles. Moreover, this keeps your children away from dust allergies. Pure and healthy air in the home promotes sound health. The best part of these purifiers is that, it drains out the unpleasant pet dander smell that irks you. There are different modeled air purifiers swamping the market. You can choose the best air purifier for home after comparing two to three best models side by side with their features and prices.
There are different types of air purifiers available in the market. Each air purifier uses different filtering technology to purify the air. Here are a few purifiers described below
High efficiency particular air filters (HEPA)
This type of filter purifies 99% of dust particles from your home, and has the ability to filter out even 0.3 microns of dust especially radioactive particles from your vicinity. However, this filter allows minute dust particles to pass through it. The pollens, mold particles, and fine dust particles can be filtered with this purifier. The drawback of this filter is that, you need to change the filter in the equipment on a regular basis for its effective operation. Many people prefer to purchase this purifier because it has the ability to filter out dust allergens at a brisk pace. You need to purchase this type of filter as per your room size. This type of filter is available in different sizes. The big filters remove more dust particles. However, not only size, the other elements such as construction, material used in making the product, and quality of filters equipped in these filters matters for its performance.
Activated carbon filters
This filter, when teams up with other filters, works well and drains out all the dust particles from your home. These filters are perfect for eliminating bad odor, chemical smell, fumes, and smoke from your vicinity and allow you to breathe happily. Generally, one pound of carbon has thousands of tiny pores, which has the ability to absorb odor and gases quickly. You need to purchase the purifiers that are made of massive carbon, since the bigger the carbon is, the more efficiently it works in absorbing in gases. However, you need to replace the carbon periodically because when it is full, it loses the ability to absorb the chemical pollutants.

February 9, 2012 at 4:10 pm in Books & Entertainment, Love & Sex by Robinette
The Oscars are Sunday and they always set me to ponder who I think was/is the sexiest man on the screen. It is a good topic to ponder I think no matter how old you are or what your sexual preference, good looks and sex appeal are things allot of people ponder when watching a movie.
A couple of my favorites did not make this list, those being Robert Redford and Antonio Bandaras. Today I would vote Paul Newman the all time sexiest man of the movies. Use the link below to see who the top ten are according to a poll. Who is your favorite?

I called the Better Business Bureau in Nevada. They have about 400 complaints filed against the company. Universal Subscription Agency has not responded to one of them. When this happens, the Better Business Bureau sends the complaint over to the Consumer Affairs Division. Consumer affairs has about 200 complaints. Unfortunately only 92 of those complaints have been resolved. Ultimately this is where I filed my complaint. (www.fyiconsumer.org). There is a simple complaint form to fill out and you are asked to send in copies of all of your paperwork (i.e. the receipt and a copy of the check if you paid by check).
I cannot say that this will get you your money back but at least you will be able to get some closure or a feeling that you were able to do something.

The nation's top central banker is warning of economic troubles ahead if some things don't change.
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan tells an economic conference that creeping trade protectionism and bloated budget deficits pose a risk to the long-term economic vitality in the U-S.
Greenspan says at risk is the increased flexibility of the economy,
which has fostered extraordinary resilience to shocks.
The Fed chief says maintaining economic flexibility is especially important to deal with what he calls some of America's current economic imbalances: the swollen trade deficit and the housing boom.
In the speech, Greenspan also worries about what will occur as interest rates rise. The Fed has been raising interest rates as it tries to guard against inflation.
Greenspan's speech was to a conference titled "The Greenspan Era: Lessons for the Future."
The Fed chief, who has been at the central bank's helm for 18 years, plans to step down in just five months.

Like you, I have never been a fan of his, and was even against signing him on loan last season. You could say " he scored seventeen goals and had quite a few assists " but if you look at the number of simple chance's he missed, then overall it was a poor total for a striker who at one point was rated a £25m player. We have all seen throughout his career that he doesnt put in a consistant effort over the course of a season, and if anything he's getting worse IMO. I think we need a complete overall of strikers, and that includes Daffy, as much as he's a natural goal scorer, I think if your aiming for the topend of the league, then you need all to be team player's, and that is one thing Daffy's not, apart from rare accasions when he'll actually pass the ball. Your first paragragh sums up exactly what I think of Ade as a player, ( and to think he's probably our highest paid ).

As a result of researching my family tree I became addicted to the family cemetery in Anderson County, Kansas. The Sutton Valley Cemetery had its first burial in 1859.
I try to focus my interest on the descendants of John Benjamin Sutton and his wife Mercy Ann (Cutler) Sutton.
Photos of the early settlers and families in Sutton Valley are of major value to me.

RE: Thank you very much
You're right! However she was already in her mid-50's when he passed, so I don't know how common that would be to remarry. The problem with her is that she uses both Amelia and Anna as her first name, throwing off any searches for her.

RE: Thank you very much
Wow! Thank you so much. I never even knew when he died. I had narrowed it down to 1913-1915, so that works and his wife was Amelia but she must have moved elsewhere after Adelbert passed. I really appreciate all of your hard work. Thank you!

RE: Paradise family
According to my records Isaac Taylor was the 3rd child of Isaac and Mary, James Henry was the 7th child, and Julia was the 9th child. I think James Henry and his wife Sarah Ola Nofsinger are buried in Baldwin City, Kansas, maybe at the Baker Cemetery. I have a cousin who can probably confirm that. I have some info on Isaac Taylor, but only a birth year on Julia. If you care to enlighten me, I would appreciate it. Wesley Paradise

Associated Press
PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills tight end Shawn Nelson has apologized for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, saying he did nothing illegal.
Nelson spoke Saturday for the first time since receiving a four-game suspension, apologizing to the Bills, his family and the fans. He said "nothing bad, nothing illegal" happened despite rumors he was "dealing with some different types of things."
Nelson did not participate in practice but was deemed healthy by coach Chan Gailey.
Gailey also announced that tight end Derek Schouman will miss three to six weeks after injuring his knee Thursday against the Indianapolis Colts.
Gailey also said linebacker Reggie Torbor will miss at least three weeks after suffering an undisclosed injury against the Colts.

Mortgage lenders reached a $25 billion settlement with 49 states Thursday over foreclosure abuses.
The question many people are now asking: who gets money from that massive settlement?
An estimated 2 million people are expected to receive help from the settlement, although it could take six to nine months to be notified. All eligible people will receive notification through the mail.
People who got their loans through Bank of America, Citi Bank, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Ally will be eligible to have the amount of their loan reduced, or receive help with financing. Those who got a government loan through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not qualify.
Even after receiving notice of eligibility, it still could be awhile before seeing any money--lenders have three years to fulfill the terms of the deal
Oklahoma was the loan holdout in the settlement, and will not receive any money.

Skip to comments.Google is 'completely wrong'
Posted on 10/10/2012 11:15:15 AM PDT by Marie
If you Google the words 'completely wrong' and click on Google Images, you get pages of photos of Romney.
Google images of Plugs, I mean Biden. He looks like Mr. America.
The algorithms are selecting from Romney pix associated with articles about how he claimed his 47% remarks were "completely wrong".
Calm down, Charlie.
That is because they are all tied to the comment Romney made today saying that his "47% remark" was "completely wrong." I am very disappointed in Romney after he seemed to get some mojo the last few days.
Given they're so recent, that's why they popped up.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Geez. This what I get for trying to search and type with only one hand. Two of you beat me.
And you are completely wrong to be so mad. Romney uttered those exact words, in walking back his comments about the 47%.
Reminds me of a story a friend of mine in HR told me.
Some headhunter kept emailing her a resume of some candidate. But she never received the attachment. He kept sending it over and over, but each time the resume attachment did not make it through.
Turned out that since the guy had graduated "Magna CUM Laude" the porn/spam filters would not let it thru.
Why would anyone use Google for anything?
Yes, but if you google "loser socialist" - you get images of Obama, with a few Michael Moore photos sprinkled in.
Google search algorithms are compilations and estimates based on the totality of searches made. I don't think it shows Google execs are attaching certain words to Romney, rather it shows that leftists may tend to use certain words when searching about Romney, and conservatives also use certain words when searching Obama.
In sum - it shows that leftists and conservatives indeed do not think in the same ways!
Alright, alright, I get it.
A leftist site was gloating over it and I believed their tone.
My bad.
All in all they're the best search engine.
Wow ... that' just well ... completely wrong.
Ah GoogleBombs. How totally 2004 of them.
What makes me mad is to think that any Freeper would still be using Google (part of the Goebels WH Division) for anything...{:-)
Yes, that sounds like a leftist site. The difference between Conservatives and Leftists, and a site like FR and others, is that people on FR often will have enough technical expertise to explain details, and also will do so (for the most part) in a civil tone, without dropping nasty words or insults
Also, I have found FR has more intellectually honest people, like yourself, who will admit when new info has changed their mind. Its why I keep coming back!
Keep up the good fight!
I started a site using one of those freebie boards.
(it bombed)
Anyhow,I experimented with searching my site by repeatedly searching for it. Also, by putting keywords on my site. It didn't take me very long, although it took a lot of monotonous work,before my site was listed on the second page of a google search.
Short story long.. If I would have kept going I could have got it on the first page.
Dont use Google products. Ever. Gmail, Google search, and all of their other crap is just spyware. Use Bing for search and Outlook.com for email.
Why do we expect Google to be more than it is. It is a tool for looking up things. I certainly don't look to Google for my principles or anything. We expect too much from Google. Just look up information you need and be done with it. Google is just a tool for goodness sake. If you are looking for goodness in a company, you are looking at wrong places.
Try Googling "Obama endorsed by" and see what shows up...
Dont use Google products. Ever. Gmail, Google search, and all of their other crap is just spyware. Use Bing for search and Outlook.com for email.
Oh great. Now I have to quit my job. United States Naval Academy uses Google Docs and that is it!!!! We all use g-mail and everything. I believe the entire military is going that direction now.....Want to know why? Google is cheaper than Microsoft.
Type in 'republican hate' and you get the 2012 Republican National Convention Official Webiste followed by link after link to the Republican National Convention speeches, guests, etc.
I Googled "Obama is an asshole" and came up with 29 million hits. Near the top, this old joke:
A guy was traveling through Mexico on vacation when, low and behold,he lost his wallet and all identification. Cutting his trip short,he attempted to make his way home, but was stopped by a MexicanCustoms Agent at the Tijuana border."May I see your identification, por favor, señor?" asked the agent."I'm sorry, but I lost my wallet," replied the guy."Si, amigo, I hear that every day. No ID, no crossing the border,"said the agent."But I can prove that I'm an American!" he exclaimed. "I have apicture of Bill Clinton tattooed on one butt cheek and a picture ofHillary Clinton tattooed on the other.""This I must see," replied the agent. With that, the Americandropped his pants and bent over in front of the agent."Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, you're right!" exclaimed the agent. "Have a safe trip back to Chicago, Senor.""Thanks!" he said. "But why do you think I'm from Chicago ?"The agent replied, "I recognized Barack Obama in the middle!
Oh, I've never had an issue with admitting that I'm wrong.
I must love it. I practice almost every day! lol!
no big deal. Google images with words "socialist" or "Marxism".
I hate Microsoft as much as the next person but only use Bing for searches.
Bing sucks. It yields far fewer results.
