Welcome to our house! Spencer and I had been looking for land to build a modern house for a few years. We were never able to find land in our price point, that wasn't near water (aka a flood zone). We were under contract three times, but all ended up with some sort of issue that prevented us from going through with the purchase. The entire time I was on the hunt for land, using Zillow, I was also filtering for single family houses. This was for two reasons: the first was to possibly find a tear-down and build, another was to see the prices of possible comps in the areas we were looking. At the end of it all, we ended up buying a house and renovating.
The house we ended up buying (and renovating) was something that jumped out for many reasons: the size, the price, & the style.
To be fair, I was looking at price first and the size was just something that I wasn't used to seeing when looking in our price range (that's what got my attention). The location was majorly up in the air: we were looking at land/houses anywhere north of Ponce de Leon and not too far out side the perimeter. (Roswell was too far, Sandy Springs – too crowded/traffic on Roswell Road, Decatur – too difficult to drive in/out, West Midtown – trendy, but not there yet, Lots of other areas – out of our price range) As for the particular area of this house, we had looked at (and went under contract) for land near this location… so we had an idea of the amenities. As for the style, we wanted modern & high ceilings… and this was pretty much the only way to get something like that – in an existing house. It's 70's/80's modern – I never thought I'd buy one of these houses – and, actually, I remember thinking as a kid how ugly they were. The reason we bought this house was probably why they were built in the first place – the modern aesthetic: high, sloped ceilings and large store-front windows. (Bonus was the larger lots/farther house spacing as well.)
Now, on to the tour: The first level consists of the garage and basement (which includes two rooms, a full bath, & laundry.) Exterior stairs lead up to the main floor (the foyer, kitchen, dining room, living room, half bath, master bed, master bath, and porch.) The third level: two bedrooms and a full guest bathroom.
4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bath
2700 sq. feet (including the basement)
Built in 1980
Cedar sided, Contemporary style
The front of the house:
On the bottom left is a basement window, hidden behind the lattice and directly under the front door is a basement separate entrance, and on the right around the corner are the garage doors. On the main floor (from left to right) is the kitchen (three windows), foyer (giant window area), and master bedroom (which is above the garage). The box on the front of the house is the master closet. On the third level (above the kitchen) is the smaller of the two guest bedrooms is visible.
The front as it appeared when we purchased the house:
The Foyer:
(view from the front door):
The Kitchen is on the left, the stairs lead up to the guest bedrooms – with living room in the back. The master bedroom door is off of the foyer on the right. (the location where most houses have a half bathroom.)
The kitchen circa 1980 (view from the foyer door):
The pantry and basement door (not visible in this image) are to the right, the dining room is toward the back through the open doorway.
Looking back into the kitchen from the dining room doorway.
The dining room:
with a view onto the screened back porch (access from the living room). I suspect that the windows may not be original due to the trim being a completely different style from anything else in the house. (Sorry for the grain in the image, its pretty dark in this room despite the giant windows and awesome ISO.)
Moving into the living room:
(view from the dining room), with the foyer on the right. The half bathroom access is from the living room (which I think is kind of awkward.) The oak floor was installed by the previous owner.
View of the living room from the stairs:
The guest half bath:
…with a closet. (the master bathroom is on the other side of the wall to the right.)
The master bedroom:
(view from the foyer) For scale, you can see the impressions in the carpet of a king size bed under the window.
looking back toward the foyer.
The master bathroom:
I have no idea when it was updated. My guess is that they replaced a tub with the shower.
I think the skylight may be original because other houses in the neighborhood have them. Though, I do wonder why this is the only skylight in the house. (The living room is pretty dark for a house with so many windows.)
The second floor:
Two bedrooms and a full bath.
At the top of the stairs looking back toward the living room and foyer, behind the camera is the guest bathroom with the two bedrooms to the right and left – the wood boring bees love that clerestory window by the way.
The smaller of the two guest bedrooms (front of the house).
The guest bath between the bedrooms. The floor tile looks like it has been updated.
The larger guest bedroom (back of the house).
The basement floor plan.:
On the left, two rooms (one counts as a bedroom), full bath, laundry, & closets. The stairs actually turn to the left above the closet. The basement bathroom has been updated and the entire basement is "finished" – finished drywall, loop carpet (no pad), & drop ceiling tiles. On the right side of the floor plan is the two-door Garage (the boxed area represents utilities).
Here are some iPhone photos of the yard. The previous owners cultivated a very nice & healthy fescue lawn. Unfortunately, we have a pretty steep driveway, which is not fun in the rain… but I'm happy to live at the top of a hill rather than at the bottom in a soggy flood zone.
There is a little terraced planting area next to the side walk that leads to the front door. (On the right of this image)
The "back yard" is moss instead of grass (which I am so excited about!) There is a larger wooded area to the left side of the house.
The back porch: view from the living room door.
I think the property line might end somewhere behind the big oak with the split trunk beyond the swing set.
Looking back at the side of the house from the woods.
Overall, the house sports pretty standard '80's finishings. Wood trim and hollow-core doors, composite cabinets and linoleum floors in the kitchen, and carpet in the bedrooms. Oh, and lets not forget the stippled ceiling and stone fireplace.

Sample Sentences & Example Usage
Appreciation gives rise to motivation/multiplication. Let's take this as a case study. When Jesus Christ was faced with the task of feeding a multitude. The scripture says that he (Jesus Christ) first and foremost gave thanks to God. And just because he gave thanks to God. God was motivated to multiply the five loaves of bread/two fishes which he already had. Now that's why he (Jesus Christ) miraclously fed/overfed at a time 5,000 men excluding women and children, scripture reference (Mattew 14 and verse 17 through 21). Anyway, that evidently proves, appreciation truly gives rise to motivation which eventually leads to multiplication. Have you been unappreciative to God/your fellow humans all these while? If YES then, you've got to learn to appreciate your fellow humans. But most importantly, do appreciate God all the time/way even in time of scarcity/insufficiency of resources like money/food stuffs. Because if you dare to appreciate him (God) at all times. Then, he will be motivated to multiply whatever you have until you are wholly gratified/satisfied.

Elmer Lach has died at age 97, and like the old names slowly being removed from the Stanley Cup to make room for new, Elmer's passing is another chapter closed.
He was a junior star in Saskatchewan, invited to Toronto so the Leafs could see what he was made of, and following a practice that Conn Smythe in particular wasn't impressed with, Elmer hopped on a train and headed back to Moose Jaw to play senior hockey.
The Leafs weren't thrilled about Elmer bailing out, and promptly traded his rights to the New York Rangers, who wrote Elmer and told him to bring his skates and make sure they were sharpened.
But Elmer didn't go, he became a free agent instead, and signed with Montreal, the only team he would play with (from 1940 to 1953), and where he made his mark as part of the legendary Punch Line with the Rocket and Toe Blake.
The Punch Line. Crafty elder statesman Toe Blake. Scoring machine overdosing with desire, Maurice Richard. And hard-working, never give up, aggressive, sometimes dirty, always talented playmaker Elmer Lach, who scored the Stanley Cup winner against Boston in 1953, causing a jubilant Rocket to jump into his arms and break his nose. The hardest check I ever received, said Elmer.
Elmer was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1966 and his (and Henri Richard's) number 16 hangs from the rafters at the Bell Centre. Well deserved honours for this legendary Hab.
So long, Elmer. You're gonna have a great time meeting up with the old gang again.

Lepani Botia kisses the ball after scoring against Scotland at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas yesterday.Picture: MARTIN SERAS LIMA
SOUTH Africa head into this weekend's fourth round of the HSBC Sevens World Series in Las Vegas, USA, off the back of an emotional Cup win on home soil in December.
Just days after the sad passing of Nelson Mandela, the blitzbokke came from 14-0 behind to beat New Zealand 17-14 and lift their first Cup of the season at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, sparking unforgettable scenes.
Kyle Brown, who lifted the Cup as captain, now reflects fondly on that triumph and believes it has boosted his side's morale ahead of this weekend's tournament.
"It was an incredible weekend to be involved with," said Brown, who is set to play in his 37th World Series event in Las Vegas. "We woke up on Friday and heard the sad news of Tata Madiba's passing and it was moving to say the least.
"To be involved in a weekend like that, where everything fell into place and worked out as it did, it was really something incredible and one of those unforgettable weekends.
"It didn't really sink in for a couple of weeks when we met people who had seen it, watched it on TV, those who helped and enjoyed the weekend with us. That made me feel really special and realise it was something different and incredible for our team.
"I think getting a tournament win anywhere is great for morale and great for us in terms of what we're trying to do in the circuit."
That win means Brown and his teammates now sit just two points behind the reigning Series champions in the overall HSBC Sevens World Series standings and are the only side other than New Zealand to have finished in the top four at each of the first three rounds.
It is that consistency which South Africa are looking for this season and South Africa have a rich history at the Sam Boyd Stadium, having won two of the last three tournaments in Las Vegas.
The narrow pitch is often a talking point but Brown believes that plays into South Africa's hands, and has done for those two previous wins here.
"The narrow pitch doesn't change our tactics, we are already a defence-orientated team and that is something we thrive on, which gives us a little bit of benefit here.
"But because defence is so key for us, and with the pitch a bit narrower, it gives the opposition teams a little bit less space to work with and tightens the screws a bit."
Brown missed last year's tournament through injury but he is now fighting fit. Coach Neil Powell also welcomes back Seabelo Senatla into what looks to be his strongest side this season.
"We are nurturing a strong squad back in Stellenbosch, and I don't envy the coaches that have to make that team selection," explained Brown.
"To have guys like Jamba Ulengo at home, he has been showing some real class lately, but Rosco Specman gets his chance and we'll ease him into the game. To have Seabelo Senatla back with that kind of gas is another bonus, but he's been out for a while too so he's another one we want to ease in before we unleash him."

Mother and Baby Care in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda concepts childcare begins even before conception. Both parents should nurture themselves with good food, thoughts and contact with divinity. They also should take fertility herbs like aswagandha (Withania somnifera), Satavari (Asparagus racemosus) etc to ensure normal hormonal levels, vitality and health. The health and mental bearing of the parents will be transferred to the children.
Woman and childcare in Ayurveda aims at providing the most nurturing environment for the mother and baby. Childcare starts before a woman conceives a child and lasts till a few years after childbirth.
Parents, especially mother should take nutritional diet, do modest levels of exercise and avoid stress. This is necessary for good health of the baby.
Ayurveda suggests pregnant women take herbs like shatavari. It improves the immune system of the mother and the baby. Chyavanaprash nutritional supplement is also suggested for the healthy growth of the fetus. Whole grain food items, milk, honey, ghee etc are also recommended for pregnant women.
The branch of Ayurveda that deals with pregnancy is Prasoothi Tantra. It tells about the nutrition and exercises a woman must follow during pregnancy. Ante natal care in Ayurveda includes suggestion of simple exercises, lifestyle balance etc to give a healthful, beautiful child. There are specific herbs and nutrition to take during different stages of pregnancy. Towards the end of pregnancy, there will be different processes going on to make labor easier.
Post natal care includes caring the mother and baby with medicated oil massages. Mother is also given herbal decoctions, medicines and nutrient supplements for immunity, proper lactation and quick return to health. The baby is also given proper massages to open up the pores of the skin, strengthen immunity and for complexion of skin.

Tracy McGrady, a seven-time all-star and two-time league scoring champion, retired from the NBA on Monday. He last played for the San Antonio Spurs in their NBA Finals loss to the Miami Heat.
McGrady, 34, averaged 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game during his 16-year career.
"Thank all of you who have supported me over 16 NBA seasons, 7 All-Stars, and countless exciting moments," McGrady tweeted on Monday morning. "Retiring from NBA. Stay tuned."
A standout high school player, the 18-year-old McGrady was drafted ninth overall in 1997 by the Raptors. McGrady played three seasons in Toronto, where he briefly shared the stage with distant cousin Vince Carter, before being dealt in 2000 to the Magic. He became a star in Orlando, where he made the first of seven consecutive all-star teams. McGrady also played for the Knicks, Pistons, Rockets and Hawks and briefly in China.
He delivered his finest individual season in 2002-03, winning his first scoring title with 32.1 points while averaging 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.7 steals in a tour-de-force season that ended, once again, with a first-round exit at the hands of the Pistons.
Despite his scoring prowess, McGrady was plagued with injuries throughout his career and attracted criticism for never guiding a team to a playoff series victory.
No matter how brilliantly McGrady played, he couldn't get his teams over the hump in the postseason, and a narrative started to form. After the Magic missed the postseason in 2003-04, McGrady was traded to the Rockets. He enjoyed one of the crowning moments of his career that season when he scored 13 points in 35 seconds to lift the Rockets over the Spurs in a December game.
McGrady underwent microfracture surgery on his knee in 2009 and was sidelined as the Rockets reached the second round of the NBA playoffs, furthering fueling his critics.
Last season, McGrady finally tasted playoff success as a role player for San Antonio. But his playing time was limited as the team's quest for a title ended with a loss to Miami in Game 7 of the Final.
Although McGrady is retired from the league, he has not ruled out playing overseas.
Asked to clarify whether he is considering playing in China, McGrady said: "Officially retired from the NBA. Door's still open."

But Larry, you don't mention any of these properties having FORESTERS involved. The landowner shouldn't be hiring a logger, he should be hiring a talented forestry consultant!!!! Then the consultant will find a good logger; that's what you hire the consultant for. Actually, first the consultant should mark every single tree to be harvested, lay out the skid roads, write your contract, write the appopriate reports to the state forestry agencies, and supervise the harvest. Any landowner too cheap to hire a consultant, I hope his land all erodes away! Here, I have seen countless really bad logging jobs on land owned by such cheap landowners. I could have gotten those landowners twice the money, left twice as many good trees, roads repaired, etc. and I could have made a good fee doing it. > > 2) OK Steve, foresters should be praising the good loggers to the skies. > You can't badmouth the lousy ones, but nobody can force you to give > them a reference, or even keep them on your mailing lists. Owners > who are looking for a logger should be told which operators leave > a site in good condition. > Forget the issue of the loggers. The issue is the FORESTER. Almost ANY logger, despite his reputation, will do a VERY GOOD JOB, under the direction of a good forester. That's a fact. Around here, most loggers did terrible work up until about 20 years ago. Now those same people do mostly good work when a consultant is involved. Few loggers have the education and skill to really do a good job without a forester. The job might look good, but it's probably not good silviculture. Most loggers even those with the worse reputation really want to do a good job; but they need direction. Then we have those landowners who consider themselves foresters. They can be the worse people to manage a timber sale. Here, one old Yankee farmer hired me to prepare his state forestry tax management plan to get his 95% real estate tax reduction. Then he managed his own timber sale. Didn't want to pay a forester a fee. Boy, did he get ripped off and his forest was raped. Screw'em I said; too stupid to hire a forester. And the idiotic state forestry agency let this happen. Brainless. > > I see the exact same problem in forest management. The typical logging > contractor learned his trade in 1963, and doesn't see any reason to > change. Like the building contractors, they see specs as an impediment > to the work, not a guideline to the finished product. In the worst case, > they define their finished product as logs, and have no concern at all > for the site. Nobody likes to change. But loggers are contractors. They do what they must do according to the contract. Get a good forester to prepare a timber sale and write a good contract and almost any logger can do a good job under that contract, especially with a hefty bond posted and supervison by the forester. I repeat, the logger is NOT the issue. The forester is the issue. Wake up landowners and see the light. <G> > > 3) Foresters should require a schedule of values for site work and > restoration, and require mill payments to be held in escrow until > the site specs are satisfied. Site restoration should be a part > of sale monitoring. > When I sell timber, the timber buyer pays 100% up front plus a cash performance bond held by me. I marked the trees, I lay out the skid roads, prepare the contract, hold the bond, supervise the work, coddle the forestry bureaucrat making him feel like he's part of the equation even though it's not true, and get RESULTS. The timber buyer DOESN'T get his bond back until everything is done to my satisfaction. What really is impossible to understand is why state governments don't MANDATE licensed foresters on logging jobs. Then if the job goes bad, it's the forester's fault and he/she can lose his/her license. Joe

Once a week, Daily Intel takes a peek at what your friends and neighbors are doing behind doors left slightly ajar. Today, the Lesbian Player: female, 27, Spanish Harlem, product-development manager, single. DAY 1 10:00 a.m.: Met ex at airport. Kissed and hugged. Kissed more. 12:00 p.m.: Car broke down. While waiting for AAA to show up, we played "I remember when" and she stroked my arms with very light tickles. We made plans for nookie later on in the day but got distracted by the car. 7:00 p.m.: After dinner we cuddled and watched some TiVo. Light tickles turned into heavy petting and then lots of kissing and full-body tickles. My shirt came off right away, and we were rolling on the floor making out and rubbing each other's bodies. We very quickly ran to the bedroom. I pleased her first. And she liked it. I picked up some new finger tricks from my current Lady Friend (a friend with benefits) and used them on her. She liked them. Then she pleased me and we cuddled. I fell asleep almost immediately. 10:00 p.m.: Felt guilty about not telling my Lady Friend. I think she has feelings for me that she is not telling me about.By Arianne Cohen

"MASH" fit the bill, although many of the students were not familiar with the story.
"I wanted something with a big name so people would want to come see it, and with a big cast so more kids would audition," Moore said.
"We wanted kids who thought they might be interested to try it. They're wonderful and they have all this talent and they haven't used it."
Senior Lindsay Hulbert auditioned for the first time and landed the part of a nurse.
"It's been something I've wanted to do for a long time but never felt like it was something I could achieve," Hulbert said.
"Ms. Moore encouraged me and said that she would love to have me and even if I didn't get a speaking part I could help out on the set. I could do something. The whole cast is great and everyone is so accepting of everyone else."
Photo by Amanda Gragert Juneau-Douglas High School students rehearse a scene from "MASH," which shows at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 2-3, and Nov. 9-10, at the JDHS auditorium. Tickets may be purchased at Hearthside Books and the JDHS activities office and cost $6 for students and seniors and $8 for adults with an additional $2 charged at the door. To view more photos, go online to www.capitalcityweekly.com.
"It's good for kids who might not be ready for a bigger part or a little too shy to do that but know they can be part of something and get their feet wet to see if they like it or not," Moore said.
While many students weren't aware of the comedy based on doctors dealing with the Korean War, Moore said the story is universal and students are reacting to the story in a positive way.
"It doesn't matter where it takes place, just war in general and everything that goes with that. It uses doctors to tell that story. There are a lot of people in wars that do more than just the fighting. The fighting is very important, but there are other people over there having to do all these things and all the clean up," Moore said.
"This story takes the problems with no good answers and treats it with humor because that's what we as humans do to survive. When life gets tough we laugh, there's nothing else to do but go crazy."
Freshman Sheryce Marshall is an extra in the production and said she became interested in the play after reading the script in class.
"I thought it was a lot of fun. Flipping through the channels I've seen a bit of 'MASH,' but I wasn't ever a big fanatic. I really like the characters and the personality of the characters. They are so unique. They have their serious moments, but the dialogue is so funny," Marshall said.
Learning about war through the production has brought the realities of war home for some students, Moore said.
"It's in the back of everyone's mind I think it gives it a little bit of perspective too. It's brought some of these kids respect back for the military. They get upset because of the war and kids will start to say things and they don't think when they talk. They'll be in a class with someone who has a loved one in the military and say something without thinking because they're upset," Moore said. "What this has done is made them think about it and the fathers and sons and mothers and daughters fighting and the respect they deserve no matter how they feel about the war. It's a very human play coming to terms."
One challenge of the show is dealing with the many props used throughout the performance.
Helping keep tabs on those props are freshmen Rhyan Holmes and Shanau'a Moore, Michaela Moore's daughter.
"It's very hectic. There are four tables worth of props and more on the floor," Holmes said.
Shanau'a Moore said working with her mom is nice because of the close relationship they have.
"She likes having me around because she can rely on me, but she keeps me in line, too," she said. "It's kind of hard to see her get so stressed, but she works through it and she's so happy with this job. I love my mom."
Shanau'a not only helps with props, but also has a small role and manages the spotlight, among other tasks.
"It's been so much fun having her in it. She's had to really pick up a lot of the slack, and it's been nice," Michaela Moore said.
Another helping hand with the production is theater manager Lucas Hoiland.
"He's an amazing artist. He knows so much about every aspect of theater, and he's been a huge support and partner for me. Lucas just stepped in there, and it's just like having a fellow teacher helping me do the play," Moore said. "The kids love, respect and admire him. He's been a huge blessing."
Senior Colt Franklin said he's been in productions before and is enjoying the laid back atmosphere that comes with being experienced in high school performances.
"I'm meeting a whole bunch of new people," Franklin said.
"I knew 'MASH' by title, but I had never seen it. It's a very interesting play. It has its humorous side, I think it will really catch the attention of adults and the high school crowd."
"MASH" shows at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 2-3, and Nov. 9-10, at the JDHS auditorium.

(Gil looks just as impressed at Strikeforce's matchmaking as we are)
Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gil Melendez is consensus Top 5 in his division. He's a very well-rounded fighter who just happens to sport one of the best low fro's in the biz. The only problem for Gil is that he's stuck in the Strikeforce/Showtime contractual pit of hell and has very few peers down there. Well, let not an impossibly bleak situation stop Scott Coker from booking the fights that everyone wants to see. From the wreckage that has become Strikeforce, Coker now brings us Gil's newest challenger: Pat Healy.
No not Matt Dillon's character from There's Something about Mary, you silly goose. Pat Healy, the fighter. You know, the guy who holds wins over Carlos Condit, Paul Daley, and Dan Hardy, oh and Tiki Ghosn. Do not forget about Tiki – he's walking, talking proof that if you're slick enough to bang Arianny and follow Rampage around like a puppy, then you get to keep your status as a decent win on other's guys' records. But I digress. Healy is 28-16 and is riding high on a five fight win streak in Strikeforce. Now, don't be getting' all technical on me by pointing out that Healy holds no recent victories against Top 20 competition. No shit, Sherlock. This is Strikeforce, son, you gots to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the ride.
Even though Healy may not have faced the crème de la crème of 155'ers to get there, he's an awfully tough fighter who deserves his shot, because shit man, unless you want to watch Melendez/Thompson IV, Pat's the best option. And with his reputation as the slightly less skilled, lightweight version of Jon Fitch, this one is guaranteed to produce fireworks!

If this happens, it would be a huge step forward. Men's Health Magazine is holding competition to find their newest cover star, and currently sitting in first place is a man named Aydian Dowling, who just so happens to be trans.
Aydian sat down with Ellen (good on her for attempting to introduce trans-ness to her soccer-mum viewership!) where the two chatted about what it's like to identify as trans, and why Aydian is a prime candidate for that Men's Health cover. Hopefully it'll help to spread even more acceptance! Check it out below.

Emma Stone Rocks Purple Skirt, Leather Boots on the Set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2
It's Gwen Stacy like you've never seen her! Emma Stone began filming scenes for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 this month in New York City opposite real-life boyfriend Andrew Garfield, bringing a whole new stylish sophistication to Peter Parker's on-screen love interest.
PHOTOS: Emma Stone's best red carpet moments
Donning a yellow trench coat to battle the Big Apple's chilly temps during a recent overnight shoot in NYC's Chinatown neighborhood, Stone, 24, interacted with Garfield's Peter Parker in one scene, and filmed at a home in Brooklyn -- accessorizing with patterned tights and leather boots -- in another.
Reprising the role she took on in the 2012 flick, Stone teamed with the first film's costume designer Kim Barret to make Gwen Stacy stand out.
PHOTOS: Stars' favorite fashion designers
"We worked together to make sure that Gwen felt like Gwen, but also made sense in the real world. And I'm a lot less voluptuous than Gwen, unfortunately, so it didn't really go to those heights," Stone has said of her on-screen transformation into the iconic comic book character.
"But the signature headband, and the thigh-highs and the coats and all of that was important. Right down to the makeup. We really tried to keep her realistic and Earth-bound. I'm by no means a supermodel or an unattainable looking person, so that element of Gwen was a bit different because she was such a beauty queen in the comic books," Stone said. "I'm more 'next door' than she might be. So that, we worked on."
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 -- costarring Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson -- hits theaters in 2014.

The solid bounded above by the cylinder z=4-x^2 and below by the paraboloid z=x^2+3y^2.
For these problems, you need to know what the volume looks like - I find it helps to draw a diagram.
The limits for the first or innermost integral (with respect to z) are, of course, to .
Next, you need to know the intersection of the two surfaces, which is given by , or , an ellipse. This is the area you need to cover with the other two integrals.
Let's integrate with respect to y next. For a given x, what is the range of y? All you have to do is solve the ellipse equation for y as a function of x, which gives you two points - the bottom and the top of the ellipse. Those are your limits of integration with respect to y.
For the outermost integral, you just need the range of x that you're dealing with, which is just where the ellipse crosses the x axis - setting y=0 gives , so , which are your limits of integration for x.
I like to think of these problems as adding up tiny cubes of volume. Each cube is labeled with its coordinates (x,y,z). First you add up the cubes from the bottom to the top to make "sticks" of different lengths, labeled with coordinates (x,y). Then you add up the sticks, and for each x, the sticks have a range of y coordinates. Adding up the sticks makes "plates", which are now labeled with x coordinates only. So the final step is to add up all the plates. The plates have different shapes, but the limits of integration just tell you which plates to choose. I suppose that might not help you, but that's how I think of it.
Post again in this thread if you're still having trouble.

Do we need something repeated for each SC (we don't like to do that.. but....) HOW TO MEET INTRO INCLUDES ========================== About the Techniques Note that all techniques are informative - you don't have to follow them. The "sufficient techniques" listed below are considered sufficient to meet the success criteria; however, it is not necessary to use these particular techniques. Anyone can submit new techniques at any time. If techniques are used other than those listed by the Working Group, then some other method for establishing the technique's ability to meet the success criteria would be needed. UNDERSTANDING INTRO INCLUDES ========================= Sufficient and Advisory Techniques Rather than having technology specific techniques in WCAG 2.0, the guidelines and Success Criteria themselves have been written in a technology neutral fashion. In order to provide guidance and examples for meeting the guidelines using specific technologies (for example HTML) the working group has identified sufficient techniques for each Success Criterion that are sufficient to meet that Success Criterion. The list of sufficient techniques is maintained in the "Understanding WCAG 2.0" (and mirrored in How to Meet WCAG 2.0). In this way it is possible to update the list as new techniques are discovered, and as Web Technologies and Assistive Technologies progress. Note that all techniques are informative. The "sufficient techniques" are considered sufficient by the WCAG Working Group to meet the success criteria. However, it is not necessary to use these particular techniques. If techniques are used other than those listed by the Working Group, then some other method for establishing the technique's ability to meet the Success Criteria would be needed Most Success Criteria have multiple sufficient techniques listed. Any of the listed sufficient techniques can be used to meet the Success Criterion. There may be other techniques which are not documented by the working group that could also meet the Success Criterion. As new sufficient techniques are identified they will be added to the listing. In addition to the sufficient techniques, there are a number of advisory techniques that can enhance accessibility, but did not qualify as sufficient techniques because they are not sufficient to meet the full requirements of the Success Criteria, they are not testable, and/or because they are good and effective techniques in some circumstances but not effective or helpful in others. These are listed as advisory techniques and are right below the sufficient techniques. Authors are encouraged to use these techniques wherever appropriate to increase accessibility of their Web pages.Received on Tuesday, 24 February 2009 15:54:09 UTC

This is the old drive space indicator that was used in old versions of Windows. Such an image is so retro looking it is hard to believe that we use to use something like this. The days of using 1.44 Megabyte floppy disks and Iomega Zip drives are long gone. Now we have 16 Gigabyte USB drives and 3 Terabyte hard disk drives. Still; I remember using the Internet before Google, Facebook and Youtube; when you would watch a video in a window that was probably 176*144 pixels in size and was grainy as hell. And you thought that was the bees knees. back when websites looked like this: http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm. Those where the days indeed. And when Napster was used for downloading pirated music and you could have any song you wanted just by searching for it and downloading it from the Napster site. Installing Windows from about 30 floppy disks and having to insert one disk after another thirty times. That would drive you to distraction. Windows Vista would fit on 1721 floppy disks; imagine installing that with a slow and error prone floppy disk drive. It would be better to use an Iomega Zip drive; that could fit 250 Megabytes. Here is a photograph of a huge stack of Windows installation floppies. Would you enjoy installing this? Of course since this is a Linux website; I should not be going on about Windows, but this is a nostalgia posting and I need to get the Windows stuff out of the way before getting into Linux.
Now the old Linux desktops were copies of the Windows interface especially the Gnome 1.0 desktop that had the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and icons on the desktop like Windows `95. But it had better software than the Microsoft operating system. The fact that Linux is more secure than Windows due to the open source nature of the software is a major bonus. The gnome 1.0 desktop interface was a very good desktop to get things done with. Nowadays with the focus on touch interfaces the whole desktop paradigm has gone to the dogs. But at least some people like the Xfce developers still care about the desktop traditionalists that wish to use a fast and sleek desktop that will operate in the traditional way. The KDE 1.0 and 2.2 desktops were also the same as the Windows desktop. The modern KDE 4.9 desktop can be setup to look just like KDE 3.4; but I am not sure if there are themes available these days to emulate the look and feel of KDE 2.2. That would be one theme that I would be happy to install. Another nostalgic thing that you do not see anymore is the Pentium II slot 1 cartridge that allows you to plug in a replacement CPU without having to deal with heat sink grease and clamping down the CPU with a lot of force like you have to do with a modern Intel i3 CPU. But this is the price of progress I guess.
Having to push down on the CPU clamping lever with so much force and hearing the crunching sound is nerve wracking to say the least. That is one of the things that you have to deal with when you are putting together a computer. Still, it offers more power than this old 8086 CPU from 1978 would. Such a CPU can run games like Wolfenstein 3D, and you can use it to perform word processing duties. But using the Internet on such a slow machine would not be much fun. An old Amiga computer can run Doom though, and it runs pretty well too. Here is Amiga Doom running on an A1000 Pal Computer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmTTEtYiPVQ. The Amiga computer system was built from the ground up as a multimedia system. This video shows the capabilities of the Amiga computer when it is used for multimedia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_quFubu9XM.

In the first half of 2012, motor vehicle ownership increased by 3.67% or 8.26 million. In eight provinces registrations exceeded 10 million; both Guangdong and Shandong have more than 20 million motor vehicles on the road.
Compared with the end of 2011, the Chinese auto fleet expanded by 7.66%, or 8.11 million, to 114 million. As Chinese bought 9,598,100 new automobiles in the first six months of the year, this means about 1,488,100 were sent to the scrapyards. 75.62% of the auto fleet, or 86.13 million units, were privately owned.
Auto ownership exceeded 1 million in 17 Chinese cities. Five of them, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Tianjin, have more than 2 million auto registrations.

Written by Megan, Experience Life Magazine and published December 15, 2011. This article is reprinted here with notes for best protection by the Center for Electrosmog Prevention (CEP).
1. When talking on your cell phone, your safest bet is speakerphone mode with your phone a hand's length away. Not quite as good (because it still emits some radiation), but better than holding the phone to your head, is a wired headset. A Bluetooth emitter is your third choice. It will deliver lower levels of microwave radiation than your cell phone, but more than the wired headset. Turn your headset off when the phone is not in use. [For best protection, CEP also recommends only using cell phone for emergencies, keeping cell phones away from babies, children and pregnant women, not holding cell phone at all, place on table two feet away or more, on speaker, and use only a Blue Tube headset, which does not transmit radiation along wires or wirelessly]
2. Try not to keep your phone turned on next to your body throughout the day. Or, if you must, position the cell phone so that the antenna, which emits radiation, is facing away from you. [For best protection, CEP also recommends: keep cell phone off when not in use and use shielded pouch to keep it in, available online at www.lessemf.com]
3. Try to use your phone when you have the maximum number of bars, indicating the best reception. When signal quality is poor, your phone emits more radiation.
4. Try not to use your cell phone in elevators, cars, trains or planes. Cell phones draw more power, and emit more radiation, in enclosed metal spaces.
5. Text instead of calling whenever possible. The farther your phone is from your body, the better.
6. When you are home, use a wired landline. Remember, cordless phones connected to a landline can emit radiation much like cell phones.
7. You may be tempted to use one of the many radiation shields on the market, but keep in mind that they may hamper reception, causing your cell phone to churn out more radiation. [ CEP also recommends turning cell phones off when not in use and considering use of bullion mesh shielding material when using cell phone, testing effectiveness with a rf field meter that measures in microwave range, if desired.]
8. If you have a wireless router in your house or apartment, keep it in a little-used room and out of the bedroom (or turn it off altogether at night). Strive to keep your bedroom as free of electronic radiation as possible. In addition to routers, banish cell phones, wireless phones and computers. Purists will want to unplug electric devices near the bed. If you are worried about "dirty electricity," use a battery-powered alarm clock and make sure that extension cords or power strips do not sit under or around the bed. Avoid electric blankets and wired mattress warmers. [For best protection, CEP recommends not having a wireless router, use wired cable or phone line Internet only, remove all cordless phones from home, do not use cell phone in home, use landline only]
9. Connect to the Internet with an Ethernet cord, not a wireless router, whenever possible. [For best protection, CEP recommends wired connections and elimination of all wireless in home.]
10. Disable your computer's wireless connectivity software, including Bluetooth, Airport and the like. Otherwise, your computer will continuously send out electronic "handshakes," exposing you to more EMFs.
11. Use a "wired-only" printer, as well as wired computer peripherals like a mouse and keyboard.
12. The new generation of wireless baby monitors, often configured to sit right under the bed or the mattress, emit radiation comparable to a cell phone. [For best protection, CEP recommends never using a wireless baby monitor in home. Humans are the best baby monitors!]
13. Beware of radio-frequency-based smart meters, increasingly being installed by utilities around the United States to control power consumption within a house. They have come under suspicion as a significant source of electromagnetic radiation. For more information, please see www.smartmeterdangers.org. [CEP is the founder of Smart Meter Dangers www.smartmeterdangers.org, strongly recommends not sleeping near or in the same room as a smart meter (located on exterior wall) and retaining or obtaining an analog meter whenever possible. Smart meters are associated with symptoms of radiation-illness, including sleeping problems, ringing in ears, skin rashes, seizures, headaches, migraines, swollen sinuses, ear pain, breathing problems, and more, according to experts]

text: > There isn't currently any way to say ``any version from 1.3 > through 1.5'' or ``version 1.3 or later'' is there? It'd be > handy in this situation. Actually there is: pkg_info -e 'Xaw3d>=1.3' will match (using Dewey decimal numbers for the version) on versions 1.3 and later of Xaw3d. So this will match (fictitious version numbers here): Xaw3d-1.3 Xaw3d-1.3.1 Xaw3d-1.3.4 Xaw3d-22.214.171.124.1 etc. Having said that, we have not yet started using it in bsd.pkg.mk, and so it's not used for any of the dependencies or conflicts information, for a number of reasons 1. We're frozen new package creation in the packages collection for a short while to consolidate, fix bugs, and just generally get ourselves sorted out. This process was particularly helpful in getting the pkgsrc tree ready for the 1.3.2 CD-ROM. I don't really want to modify the internals of bsd.pkg.mk or any package Makefiles while this is going on. 2. It needs a recent pkg_install set of programs. We have provided the latest versions as a package (see pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install), and I have some mods for detecting automatically whether the -current pkg_install tools need to be installed, but didn't get them in in time before the freeze. I do have thoughts about putting the distfile in pkgsrc/distfiles, so that it's automatically there, but have not actually done it yet. 3. As well as a relation on the version number, we need an actual version number to fetch or install, should the relation not be fulfilled. e.g. if I have Xaw3d-1.2 installed, and gv needs Xaw3d>=1.3, the pkg_add program needs to download a binary package for a specific version of Xaw3d - we don't yet have any kind of "Just gimme the most recent version of the Xaw3d binary package" handling built into pkg_add/ftp. At the moment, bsd.pkg.mk just goes into the Xaw3d dir, when creating the gv binary package, and uses the current version number in the Xaw3d package Makefile. I think we can probably put both (relation and current version number) into the created binary package. You may also have seen some traffic here about wildcard matching, and csh-style alternates. Wildcard matching was introduced by Hubert, and does sh(1)-style matching of "?*[]" wildcards, and csh(1)-style alternates is basically: lesstif-0.8{5{,.[23]},6} which would match lesstif>=0.85.2, or 0.85.2, 0.85.3 and 0.86. It's more useful when used like: DEPENDS+= {motif-1.2,lesstif>=0.85.2}:../../x11/lesstif i.e. if Motif-1.2 is installed, or lesstif >= 0.85.2 is installed, everything's OK, else build the latest lesstif. Anyway, in short, that kind of thing is on the way, just not here yet, and will not get addressed until our mini-freeze in pkgsrc is over. Take care, Alistair

The First TimeVisitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Male
i have been with my girlfriend for 2yrs 3mos. and we have talked about having sex and we tried to one time but its her first time so it hurt her. that was like a month and a half ago.
How do i get her to start thinking about having sex again and actually having sex? it is also my 1st time she is 18 and im 20?
RomanceClass.com Advice
It usually hurts for the girl on the first time because a girl's vagina is protected with a layer of skin, the hymen, which protects it from infection. You are breaking that. Also if a girl is nervous and not lubricated it can hurt from friction burns.
You can't think of this as "getting her to try again". You have to think of just building up the comfort of intimacy. There are plenty of ways to be intimate without the act, so that she isn't nervous and scared. She should already be quite comfortable with you naked, with the touching and everything else.
She will let you know when she's ready. It can NOT be something you pressure her into or you're going to have the same problem again. If she is nervous, tight and dry, it's always going to hurt.

An early drop in playgroup from 8:00-9:00. You can choose to sign up for the whole year or drop in when you need us.
Enriching experiences which allow children to explore the world around them with special guests from the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cool Critters, Mad Science and more!
An afternoon playgroup your child can join at the end of the school day or drop off on and use on a day they are not in school. From 2:30-4:30.
We are excited to be bringing back our Summer Playdate Series! Everyone loves a playdate, but the kids want to have them more than parents like to host them. Check our Program listing for more information.
Our literature based curriculum provides age-appropriate, high-quality academics designed to exceed the State of Ohio Content Standards for Early Childhood Education, which assures accountability for educational objectives in the State of Ohio. The curriculum is rich in opportunities to solve problems, use language, develop new vocabulary and engage in organized intellectual activities.
We are committed to creating a warm, caring and supportive atmosphere. We welcome each child's individuality, nurture their self-confidence and develop within them a life-long love of learning. We believe that open communication is an integral part of your experience as preschool parents. Our desire is that you know what your child is learning and understand how to support this learning at home. .
Our goal at Creative Tots is to engage and educate your child. Every activity is an opportunity for young children to develop knowledge, skill and a positive attitude about learning. We implement a unique preschool curriculum carefully designed to balance the traditional and the innovative, prompting the enthusiasm necessary for your child to excel in the many years of school ahead.
The emergence of language and literacy in children is a dynamic process. When children are immersed in an environment where oral and written communications are valued, they have the motivation, the modeling and the sense of purpose to master language. Wide exposure to print and to developing concepts about its forms and functions is critical at this age. Through our literature-based curriculum our teachers provide well-integrated, developmentally appropriate instruction for children to develop skills in print awareness, alphabet knowledge, phonologic recognition and foreign language.
Children need the devotion and appreciation of adults and peers in their lives. They also need to feel confident in their own abilities. Creative Tots is a warm, caring, and supportive atmosphere where we welcome each child's individuality, nurture their self-confidence, promote good work habits and develop appropriate social skills. Learning is an inherently joyful process and that is what Creative Tots fosters.
Rather than treating our bodies as simply transport for our brains, we feel that intelligence is visual, auditory as well as kinesthetic. Preschool children often need to move in order to think. As a result, we incorporate music and movement into our everyday curriculum. Whether it is dramatic play, exploring our outdoor play area, yoga for kids or interacting with visiting performance art professionals, we certainly keep your child moving.
Young children need time to explore math using concrete materials they can manipulate. The ability to recognize logical patterns in the world around them develops a practical knowledge of potentially difficult numerical concepts. Our curriculum allows routine situations to become thoughtfully designed activities that encourage counting, measuring, patterning and problem-solving. A quality early mathematics curriculum establishes the confidence necessary for further development in logical reasoning.
Children are naturally curious about the world around them. It is important to utilize this need to explore and experience the natural world through hypothesis and prediction, observation, collecting data over time and formulating conclusions. Our preschool program provides authentic science experiences drawing on visits by experts in the community as well as following the actual life cycle of a butterfly and frog in the classroom. This unique experience to engage and manipulate our science materials fosters a sense of awareness that teaches children to enjoy and appreciate their surroundings.
Creativity as a discipline is often overlooked. It is essential that as the humanities become the prominent focus of intellectual progress we do not educate our children out of their creative capacity. Kids will always take a chance and unless they are prepared to be wrong it is difficult realize anything original. It is for this reason that we coordinate our art enrichment around celebrated artists such as Van Gogh, Da Vinci and Cassatt. The children learn about their specific works and have the opportunity to explore the mediums of paint, portraits, photography and design.

Friday Night Light 5-27-2016
Speed = Gold-Nova(37) ; Silver-Keng(35) ; Bronze-Slick(27)
Item = Gold-Nova(32) ; Silver-Slick(28)
Introduction :vroom:
Well, it's Friday & it's time to test the abilities of those ready for competition or fun. Nearly two weeks ago, Keng & 8DonQuixote8 won the first official KartExtreme Speed & Item tourneys - respectively - but there is definitely room for new champions! Friday Night Lights will attempt to create new champions every week, reward those who grind them out with their own rankings on the official Grand Prix page, & be a practice ground for players looking to retain their skills throughout the year. Starting today, the FNL competition will begin. Be there or miss out on a free date of fun. Good luck all ~ :thumb:
Tournament Objectives
-Welcome any newcomers to Kart Rider / KartExtreme
-Create a fun & competitive tournament scene of some sort
-Have fun !
First Come, First Serve
In the case of an unequal amount of entries in comparison to room sizes, preliminaries will be held to determine those that will make it. The people who signed up earlier will be safe, while the latest entrants will be sent to the chopping block.
Example: 9 entrants enter for a tourney. The last two would play a Bo3 preliminary match to determine who will make it into the tournament.
Layout + Rules
-9 P.M. ~ 11 P.M. EST every Friday
-Server: Korean
-Speed: S1 (otherwise known as Very Slow)
-Modes: Single Item & Single Speed (Infinite N2O)
-Karts: ONLY Practice Kart PROs are allowed for use (a.k.a. the practice kart every account is given for entering the game.
-Maps: All maps are allowed for use. Random tracks (League, All Random, Hard Random, etc.) count as one track.
-The first map for each match will be Village Freeway for Speed & Village Canal for Item. The loser will pick the next map. If the last place person(s) retired, the last place finisher will choose the map.
-Last place finishers choose maps. No person can choose a map twice, so the closest last place finisher who has not chosen a map yet will choose.
-No map can be played twice within a single match. The practice maps - Freeway & Canal - are not counted during the practice race, technically making them available for use twice within a match.
-Each player gets two Map Vetoes, which essentially allows racers to pass a map they don't like.
-No additions besides your kart & glasses are allowed to be used for Item mode. All accessories are allowed to be worn for Speed BESIDES BALLOONS. Balloons are banned because they can be annoying to some players for blocking their sight.
-If somebody disconnects from the match, the match will be replayed & they will have 5 minutes to rejoin. If there is any indication that somebody has DC'd on purpose, then they will be punished with either a strike or disqualification.
-ABSOLUTELY NO HACKING OR BLOCKING! Hacking = auto disqualification, but you should already know this.
Point System
-First to 30 points wins. (4 ~ 7 races)
-In the case of multiple rooms, the regular point tally system is only applied for the final eight (last room). The other rounds/rooms will give a set amount of points.
Ex.: 4 rooms of 8 = 32 racers & 3 rounds of elimination (Rounds 1 ~ 3 in the Loser's Group Stages) Each round of elimination would doll out points.
Round 1=1 point
Round 2=2 points
Round 3=3 points
-Another case in terms of multiple rooms is a double elimination format. The top four will advance through a winner's group, while the bottom four will advance through the losers. The 4 winners of the winners group will meet the 4 winners of the losers group in the final room.

YouTube's New Embedded Player PermalinkPosted: October 21st, 2010 | Author: Jeff Soo | 7 Comments »
YouTube has started rolling out a subtle new feature in embedded video players. At anytime you push pause, you'll see a new arrow icon that, when clicked, will open the deep-link for the YouTube page the video lives on in a new window or tab. Because it's the same size as the play button, it might take away from the prominent call-to-action to resume playback. So far, I've only seen it on the newer player UI, and is most likely not planned to be implemented in the older players, but it's definitely a great feature.

Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto
I've been collecting a few recipes lately that have some combination of butternut squash, rice, and sage. Instead of following one, or all of the recipes, Funk and I created our own Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto.
We started off by cooking a mix of brown and red rice in our rice cooker. This handy cooker hasn't had much use in our apartment lately, but it should, since it makes cooking rice (and steaming veggies) a breeze. And oddly enough, while I can cook, I cannot cook rice. It has burned one too many times when I make it, which is why I frequently rely on Trader Joes frozen prepared brown rice! But not for this dish.
We made 3 cups of rice once it cooked, and instead of cooking it in water, we cooked it in vegetable broth for extra flavor.
While that was cooking, we diced a butternut squash and cooked it in a pot with some olive oil, sage leaves, and vegetable broth. This probably cooked for about 30 minutes, and we consistently added in more broth as the liquid heated off.
Once the rice and squash were cooked, we combined the two and added in some shredded soy cheese, since we were going for a risotto type dish. The cheese melted as it mixed in and was the link between rice + squash to Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto. It wasn't an exact science risotto, but it was good enough for our liking! I sprinkled on some sea salt and scooped the meal into a bowl. It was warm, satisfying and filling and is going to make a perfect leftover meal tonight.
1 small butternut squash – peeled and cubed. Try any winter squash! Acorn squash or pumpkin would do the trick.
10 fresh sage leaves – ripped into small pieces
3-4 cups vegetable broth
Rice – as much as you'd like to make. Go for brown rice for extra fiber and nutrients. If you don't have a rice cooker, cook it traditional stove-top rice style
About ¼ cup of shredded (soy) cheese. Most risottos use Parmesan cheese, which would be yummy in this dish
Salt to taste
