I got you an autographed Passion Pit vinyl for your birthday, but seeing as we no longer talk, I may as well just throw it away.
You really are a shitty person and I feel sorry for you.
(via astalder)
So I was doing a U-turn at an intersection, and I had a green arrow. So I was free to go, right? I had the right away. This dude comes flying from my left, turning into the same lane as me and almost slams my car, so, as a reaction, I slam on my horn. He slams on the brakes, so I speed around him. And go on my way. I look in my mirror and he's speeding up and is probably a foot from my bumper - both going 45mph - and when I get to the next intersection, I turn right, and he follows. It's a one lane, but I managed to pass a car to put a car in between he and I. I turn into this apartment complex to try and lose him because I had about a quarter mile on him. I hadn't seen him turn in so I thought he just left. I turned my car around, and then I noticed he was speeding into the complex - confirmation that he's coming for me. So I hit the gas, and passed him. We made eye contact. Older, Hispanic male and a Caucasian woman in the passenger seat yelling at him to stop. He was furious. But for what? I hadn't done anything. Never hit his car. I had the right away. I didn't know what I did except for honking at him. So as we were making eye contact, I gave him a smirk and put my hand into the shape of a gun and "shot" him, sort of like my way of saying "gotchya".
This is a true story that just happened to me and also a lesson to all: you won't be able to catch me if I'm driving my Camry.
Unless you're the police.
'Cause that's happened.
My dad said he was proud of me tonight and that means a hell of a lot coming from him.

"He was trying to have everyone on the really high bar," he said. "It was really hard and challenging. I could see how the physiological pressure turned into psychological pressure."
Austin Fiascone, a former walk-on who was dismissed from the team in the fall, said the underwaters — sprints swam under the water line — are common but "never at the volume that he was asking for."

Both Lezin and Fiascone said they believed the university failed to take proper steps at addressing the concerns and complaints of their teammates. Fiascone said he regrets only that he did not speak up sooner about Winslow.
"We were so young, but we knew it wasn't right," he said. "It was unbelievably evident. A lot of people are still afraid to talk, but we were so afraid to talk because he was a guy who would seek revenge on you."

Here's what Kristin Clarke a.ka. Eclipse of the Kansas City Roller Warriors had to say about the impact of the recent Ellen Page movie on the sport, dealing out pain, and what to expect at a roller derby match.
Read more
During the last several years, roller derby has made a quick comeback to the sporting scene. Though much less theatrical (and violent) than the popular bouts that were televised during the 60's and early 70's, roller derby has returned to its athletic roots while still holding strong to the fun, hardcore entertainment value that the whole family can enjoy. We are currently home to three flat-track roller derby leagues that I would love to share with you!
Are you ready for some Roller Derby? This entire weekend, Municipal Auditorium is going to be home to the Show Me Der-B-Q, the WFTDA Roller Derby South Central Regional Playoffs.

Would you consider yourself someone who is productive? We live in a culture that demands results. If you are not functioning and producing at a high level, then you will be left behind.
There are lots of books and blogs dedicated to helping people find their flow. Personally, I take the time to read some of the resources because I know I need the help. There's nothing wrong with needing help! If you are serious at becoming more productive and learning to be a better steward of your time, here are a few helpful thoughts…
1. Establish a To Do List
This is tried and true. Aim at nothing and you will hit it every time. Having a To Do List helps you to remain focused at the task(s) at hand and not get sidetracked.
2. Block Your Time
This is something that I have found to be most helpful. Sometimes we try to do too much. There are times when less is more. Setting aside blocks of time throughout your day can lead to more productivity. Taking multiple small breaks throughout your day help the creative juices flow. Come up for air once and a while
3. Remove The Distractions
This one is huge. With all the technologies at our fingertips it seems as though we have become more distracted. Tweeting, updating your status, and whatever else people do get in the way of productivity. Sometimes a pen and paper is all that is needed.
4. Environments
Depending on where you work, I have found that I am more productive in certain environments. If you work from home it can be difficult because of the freedom and the possible freedoms exist. If you work in an office, you may find it stuffy or too loud. There could also be a number if other factors depending on your situation. The point here is you need to find a space that works for you.
Now I am sure none of these points are new to anyone. They are meant to be helpful reminders. Intended to help you to become better and more productive at what you do.
What are some of the actions you take to help you to become more productive?

About four mass graves were found in Iraq this past weekend, with about 50 bodies total. Most of the victims were apparently Shiites, both civilians and soldiers. But NPR says (audio file):
Some of these bodies are Sunni Arabs. And there are reports that it was uniformed Shiite security men or killers wearing those type of uniforms, who were responsible for the deaths.
I just heard another update (live radio, no linkage), during which NPR's man in Baghdad said the report is based on the comments of the Sunnis who survived.
Now the story could be bogus. I don't know if NPR actually spoke to the guy. And even if they did, I don't know if the guy was telling the truth. (Maybe in his neighborhood it's better to say you were attacked by nasty Shiites than to say Sunnis had a beef with you). But...if true, it wouldn't be a shocker. And if you're trying to keep score, you'd have to put another one in the ledger for creeping civil war.

I'm a very vivid dreamer–for as long as I can remember my dreams have always been like watching a very realistic movie (Now in Technicolor!). I don't always remember what I've dreamt about, but lately I've been having just really weird dreams right before I wake up.
This morning was particularly strange though–I dreamt that I was at the Dr.'s for my annual lady bits exam. Not anything out of the ordinary, I just dreamt that I was in that fabulous open-backed gown hearing my Dr. say "…now just put your feet in the stirrups and scoot on down this way." The ironic thing is that I actually just had this exam about two weeks ago (end results: a) I am still apparently a girl b) everything appears to be in good working condition and c) everyone at the practice wants to know when we'll be adding a sibling for Owen). Call me crazy, but this particular appointment, while not the worst thing in the world, is not exactly my favorite thing when I actually have to go to the real appointment, let alone have the actual exam and then get to go through it all again by dreaming about it.
Maybe I'll get really lucky and tonight I'll get to revisit that trip to the oral surgeon's for my wisom tooth extraction.

Pilot project for joint electricity trading leads the Internal Energy Market 2014 to progress
Grid operators and power exchanges from 14 EU Member States (Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Austria, UK, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden) plus Norway inaugurated on February 4 a pilot project for joint electricity trading, so-called day-ahead market coupling. The project, which is a milestone on the way towards a European Electricity Market, had been jointly initiated by the EU Commission, regulators, grid operators and power exchanges in North-Western Europe (NWE). NWE market coupling combines all bids and offers in a region and creates a large integrated electricity market in the area concerned, combining 75% of today's electricity consumption in the EU. The Commission prepares an EU Regulation that will make market coupling binding in the entire EU, leading to important costs savings for the benefit of European customers.

Guidance to Member States on state intervention in electricity markets
5 November 2013. In some cases, state intervention in energy markets may be necessary in order to ensure security of supply and to achieve climate objectives. To avoid adding extra costs for consumers and distorting the functioning of the internal electricity market, public intervention has to be designed with great care.
The Commission gives guidance to Member States on how to:

Staff Working Documents
Press material
On 15 November 2012, the European Commission presented a Communication assessing the state of play of the internal energy market, to be completed by 2014.
The Communication encourages Member States to step up efforts, highlighting the benefits of a truly integrated European market for citizens and business. The document also identifies the need for further action in a number of areas including consumer protection, enforcing the existing rules and investing in the modernisation of energy infrastructure.
The Commission will work with Member States to empower consumers and to phase out state interventions which distort markets.

Public consultation
Together with the Communication, we are launching a Public Consultation on delivering a more coordinated approach to generation adequacy and security of supply in the internal electricity market and ensuring that any state interventions in this regard are well designed and effective.

Because PCB's are a custom, manufactured part, the fabrication process begins with customer supplied data files, drawings, and specifications. Once a purchase order and data files are received, fabrication proceeds through a series of operations as follows (see Manufacturing Flowchart); Pre-production Engineering, Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)/photoplot, inner layer processing, drilling, through-hole sensitizing, outer layer imaging, plating/etching, soldermask coating, hot air solder leveling (HASL), silkscreen, final rout, electrical test, and shipping.
Pre-Production Engineering: Once data files and PO are received, Production Planning reviews all data, drawings, and specifications for completeness. If complete, Planning then develops the production process flow, determines raw material requirements, and sends data package to CAM.
CAM proceeds to run the data through design analysis, panelizes parts for production, develops drill, rout, and AOI programs, sends data to photoplotter to create film, and netlist file to test.
Inner Layer Processing: Dry Film operators receive Production traveler with material requirements from Planning. Material is issued and prepared it for imaging. Dry Film is applied, photo image is exposed and developed. Panels are then forwarded to the Plating department for etching of copper features, stripping of Dry Film, and sent on to AOI for inspection and tooling punch. Following AOI acceptance and tooling punch, panels are moved to Lamination where they have Oxide applied and placed into lamination fixtures for lamination.
Drilling: Panels come to drilling from Lamination. Drill file installed and First Article (FA) drilled to check program accuracy and registration of holes to internal layers. Once verified, remainder of panels will be drilled.
Through-hole sensitize and plate: After drilling, panels are alternate layers of dielectric and copper. In order to connect all layers together and create a conductive path through the holes, a seed coat of copper is deposited. Prior to deposition of copper, the holes are prepared and any epoxy smear removed through a series of chemical baths ending with copper deposition in the Electroless Copper bath.
Outer Layer Processing: Following electroless copper deposition, the panels are ready for the outer layer image to be applied. Dry Film once again coats the panels and has the outer layer circuitry imaged on and developed. Panels are then moved to the Electroplating area where copper is electroplated on the surface and through the holes creating a continuous path. Tin/Lead is then electroplated to act as an etch resist during the etching process. After etch, dry film is stripped and the panels are either reflowed or have the Tin/lead removed. It is at this point that any additional surface coatings like nickel and gold are applied.
Pre- Soldermask Inspection: All panels are inspected either with AOI and/or visually for any functional or visual defects. Utilizing customer drawings and specifications, all physical characteristics are verified including registration, hole sizes, thickness, etc.
Soldermask application: Liquid Photo-imageable (LPI) Solder mask is applied using an automated screen printer. Panels are then baked as a tack cure, the image applied, developed and final baked. Solder Reflowed panels are moved directly into Silkscreen for the Component Identification markings; Soldermask over bare copper (SMOBC) panels are sent to Hot Air Solder Leveling (HASL) and then back to Silkscreen.
Final Rout: At this point, the panels are complete with the exception of cutting individual boards from the manufactured panels. One panel is routed as an FA to verify program, then all panels routed.
Electrical Test: Using an electronic netlist, all boards are tested using a "bed of nails" test machine or a "Flying Probe" test machine. Flying Probe is very useful for small increments such as prototypes; whereas for production, the bed of nails or fixture test is more appropriate. Both methods are equally reliable, just difference in time and expense.
Final Inspection and Shipping: PCB's are now complete and functionally sound, they must now be inspected for cosmetic type defects. Once accepted, all are moved into shipping for transport to customer.

HAMMOND | Samantha Hernandez landed her first job in the showbiz industry.
"I like it there," the 22-year-old Hammond woman said about the working environment at the Center for Visual and Performing Arts in Munster.
"I've always like the theater," she said. "My favorite plays are 'The Phantom of the Opera' and 'Little Shop of Horrors.'"
"We often go to see plays in Chicago," said Samantha's father, Trini Hernandez. "So when she was able to get a job there, she was very enthusiastic about it."
Samantha prepares the programs and hands them out to the patrons as they enter the show. She hasn't missed a day of work.
But it isn't just work and no play for Samantha. She's also a regular participant at the Tri-City Special Games, which are held annually at E.C. Central.
For this year's event, which was held May 18, Samantha was awarded the Games' "Pete Rucinski Athlete of the Year," named in honor of the late great E.C. Roosevelt football coach whose name adorns the stadium where the games are played.
"She does well ... running is her favorite event," said Samantha's mother, Vicky Kartz. "The award isn't based on how well one places in the events, but more for the hard work, enthusiasm, teamwork and sportsmanship."
In addition to the 50-yard dash, other Tri-City Games events include the long jump and the softball toss. But the event Samantha always looks forward to comes at the end of the games."
"I like to dance," Samantha said. "I like to dance to Nicki Minaj, Pink, Journey, Queen, ABBA ... and (the music from) 'Footloose.'"
Before going to her evening job, Samantha is a student at AccessAbilities, Inc., in Merrillville.
Aside from work and school, Samantha tries to stay physically active even when she's not competing.
"I do Zumba," she said of the style of aerobics set to the beat of Latin dance music. "Swimming is something I like to do, too."

If you own an iPhone then you know that there is never a time when you don't need that pesky Apple cable. Needless to say, especially with iCloud in play, it's just a question of grabbing a quick charge, and for that there is the key chain friendly JuiceBuddy. However, as small and lightweight as that option is, relatively speaking, it's still on the larger side, especially for your skinny jean wearing hipsters.
Enter the ChargeCard. No, it doesn't hold a charge – if it did it would perhaps provide at best a quick phone call probably in the neighborhood of 1 minute, if that. Instead, the ChargeCard, which measures .1-inches thick with a footprint comparable to that of a credit card, slips into your wallet or pocket and serves as a replacement to an iPhone cable – the fold out USB arm is made from flexible thermoplastic so it can bend if need be. And since there is no cable to get tangled, you can toss it into a bag or purse and not wrestle with a rats nest when it's time to grab some juice. The only downside? You'll need to find a USB plug, which we're surprised still aren't standard installs in new homes and businesses.
The ChargeCard is a Kickstarter project. They're currently asking $20.

amg review
This excellently-titled compilation is not, in fact, comprehensive -- it ignores the 1997 EP Further entirely -- but it's nonetheless an excellent overview of the peculiar career of Louisville art-punks Guilt. Kicking off with a set of 1991 demos by Stepdown, the otherwise-unrecorded parent group of Guilt, the 25-track compilation neatly summarizes their increasing complexity, moving from fairly simple, traditional hardcore sturm und drang into a far more complex and varied post-rock assault akin to the likes of their Louisville compatriots Slint and Elliott. A Comprehensive Guide to Anger Management Composed in Drop D also contains the Synesthesia EP, and the Bob Weston-produced Bardstown Ugly Box in full (minus the hidden bonus track at the end of the latter album), along with two previously unreleased bonus tracks. ~ Stewart Mason, Rovi

Let me start with, I know the 7D is an aps-c sensor. I get that. But I am sorely disappointed with this body. The noise levels on this camera are terrible! I saw reviews that seemed to show good noise levels with decent detail retention. I have had this body for some time now and have had to fight it in any sort of even semi low light conditions. Even shooting at ISO 400 the noise level is bad enough that fine detail is starting to be lost. ISO 100, as with any other camera is basically noiseless, as is ISO 200. But once I reach or exceed ISO 400, I am very disappointed in all but the best light.
With all the reviews and sample photos I went through before deciding to buy this camera, I am simply baffled by the noise. I have tried every in camera high ISO NR setting except Strong, as that would undoubtedly leave no fine detail at all in the image. At least, at 8x10 print size, ISO 400 is acceptable, but anything beyond is not. ISO's 800 and 1600, there is no way I would print at above 4x6. I simply cannot imagine this camera is actually this bad on noise as a matter of course. It is still on the market. Surely it would not be. So... is it just my body? Is there something askew with the hardware in mine? Or has anyone else noticed very bad noise levels on the 7D?
Sorry... that was a bit .... short. It was not intended to be. It's just the extreme frustration I have over this particular body. My 5d mkII, or course, performs wonderfully all the way to 6400 before REALLY dropping off toward 12,8. But this damn 7D is just bugging the crap out of me. I wouldn't give a damn except that is was $1700 when I bought it, and for that, don't have any intention of trashing it. Unless it's truly just trash! I'm just really frustrated over it.
How are you processing the RAW files?
Many people find a better route to good results is to turn off all in-camera NR and deal with noise during the RAW conversion process.
You will never get the results from a Canon 7D that you get from a 5D Mk II. I owned a 5D II but am now using an Olympus Pen which has similar performance to the Canon 7D, so I am aware of the difference in noise handling.
Yeah, I know it's never gonna be a 5dmk2 but really. My 30D was better on noise at 800 than this seems to be at 400.
I am shooting with high ISO NR set to standard in camera. Of course, this does not effect RAW, only in camera JPG (and does a fair job of producing JPG). As for NR, I use ACR normally, but sometimes Canon's DPP while I'm using it to outtake frames I don't like. Again, though, it is not the NR that's the issue. I'm all about NR when necessary... my issue is that ISO 400 if should virtually NEVER be necessary. And it appears to be a fair mix of both chroma and luminance.
I am just really lost as to why the noise is so high to begin with at 400.
For what it's worth, the camera, prior to this becoming an issue recently, was used in controlled light. It was used virtually with only studio strobes, and occasionally daylight with fill.... all shot at ISO 100, and occasionally 200. It wasn't until the first time I shot it in semi low light and started bumping up the ISO... which I quickly bumped down to 400 as the best possible I could get and still have exposure.
The NR setting is a tag in the RAW file. Purists consider it worth setting NR completely off so that when you start your RAW processing, you are starting from scratch so to speak. Perhaps give that a try?
TBH, I wouldn't worry overly about a bit of noise, even at ISO 400 or even 200. So long as you can process it out and get a decent result, that is what matters.
The Canon 5D II is exceptional in its RAW images. There were often times I wondered why I needed to process them at all!
Ok... thanks for the link. Mine... just won't clean up as much as those. I followed their link to the RAW file comparisons... My 7D has FAR MORE noise at 400 than those. I do not know why. Perhaps it is worth an authorized warranty repair shop to look at it. Or a shipping to Canon. As for noise at 200...I have virtually none. If it were just "a bit" of noise at 400 I wouldn't be concerned. NR would easily deal with it in PP. But like I said... RAW's from my 7D at 400 have more noise than RAW's from my old 30D at 800.
As for the 5d2? I could not agree more. I do very little NR on 1600 or lower. At 3200 it still produces great clean photos, just needs a bit heavier NR, but still acceptable detail after processing.
CB seems to have covered most of it. Some people have reported seeing high noise with their 7D which was resolved after sending it back to canon, so it may be worth trying.
I can produce high noise with my 7D if I under-expose shadow by about 3 stops then try to pull it back in PP (but from what you have already said I'm guessing that isn't the case), otherwise I see no problems and happily use ISO800 on a regular basis, have sold large prints of images shot at ISO3200 and so on
I hope you get this sorted as the 7d is a great tool
As you say - this isn't your first rodeo - so sorry for asking a basic question? (no offence meant, but after you've seen a number of these posts it's always worth checking the usual suspects)
You are ensuring that you are exposing the images properly and that you are not boosting the exposure in post production? Low light work can be a pain to expose correctly, and images from an aps-c sensor will not tolerate a great degree of post production exposure latitude without showing noise.
Right, having asked the basic question I'll get my coat...
A guy in our camera club has the 7D and will not use above ISO 400 for competitions because of the noise that starts to come in at ISO 800. I got the 7D for birding and have been disappointed with the native noise (compared to my 30D) and I am understanding what many have said about having to redesign my workflow for the 7D. I am still working on it.
Mind you, I have also seen posts from a guy who shoots indoor swimming meets with his 30D at ISO 1600 and I can see very little noise even in the black swimming costumes - but he is very careful to avoid underexposure. So I am sure the 7D should be able to meet this standard at least.
When sending it back to Canon would you ask for a general overhaul or would you need to ask for a specific thing(s) to be checked?
Quote: Some people have reported seeing high noise with their 7D which was resolved after sending it back to canon
I know someone who had noise issues with a Canon 5D MkII, Yeah! And at anything above 400 ISO, ISO 800 was horrible especially in blue skies....
Anyhow they sent it back to Canon, Where they claimed to have adjusted something, Its now a lot better but still way behind my Nikon D700 in the noise deparment....!!!
So if its under warranty ( or not ) try giving Canon a go at sorting it out, As you rightly say it should not be that bad under ISO 1600 at the very least.

Stuck On The Ottiwell School Roof
Posted Monday, April 11, 2011 11:15 AM
We usually spent some of our playtime at the Sarah D. Ottiwell's east playground doing something when I was still in 5th grade. After school one day about 5 PM my friend Dennis Amaral and I were hitting pop-ups at the Ottiwell playground using his bat and ball and my glove. Then the unexpected, Dennis hit a pop-up and it went up on top of the Ottiwell roof. Nice hit but now we had no ball to play with. If you recall having a baseball back then was quite important.
So Dennis mentioned that his dad had an extension ladder in the backyard. So we went to get it and up the school rear balcony steps we went with our ladder. We both climbed up the ladder and soon we were running around on the Ottiwell roof throwing a ton of balls down into the school's grassy side lawn. We searched all over the roof and had actually had a difficult time finding Dennis's baseball because there were so many. But now we were rich and had many baseballs, softballs and rubber balls. Wow! We could sell and trade them! We finally found the right one and we both headed back to the rear of the school roof to come down the ladder. When we got there much to our surprise we saw that our ladder was now lying down on the balcony. Darn! Who the heck took down our ladder? We were left stranded on the roof! Not cool! We thought it was a kid prank but it got worst real fast as some kid hollered out to us that that Miss Chase the Principal had come out and taken down our ladder. Holy Cow! She was still in the building? She must have heard us running around up there on the school roof. So now what?
After some thought I told Dennis that the only way down was probably off the ledge under the school's marquee in the front of the school. That was very risky because it was very close to Miss Chase's front office. But now we had to move fast and had few choices. We also feared that the police would arrive soon. So we both ran to the front of the school and sure enough Miss Chase's car was still there. This was truly risky business! Now we were quite worried that we would be arrested for attempted burglary. But all we were doing was retrieving a baseball! If we got caught I bet that no one would believe our story.
So we checked out the ledge under the name Sarah D. Ottiwell and it looked low enough for us to hang from and drop to the playground. We both got on the ledge and hung down and dropped. I thought for sure Miss Chase would come walking out of the front door and catch us red handed. It was a good long drop and we hit the ground running our butts off. Luckily, Miss Chase never came out. She may have suspected that there were real burglars up there and been afraid to come out. HA! Next, we had to retrieve the ladder and return it to Dennis's house. But not before we collected all the balls we had thrown down. Dennis was a little older and attended Normandin. If he got caught we conspired that his story would be that he knew nothing and someone must have borrowed his ladder. If I got caught I promised I would not tell on him.
The next day in my 5th Grade class Miss Chase walked in and said she wanted to see me. Someone had snitched on me! I was taken to the office and she asked if I had been on top of the school roof. I confessed and said, yes, that I had gone up there to get a baseball that had been hit up there. I was careful not to snitch on my friend Dennis. She said I should not have done that because I could have gotten hurt.
So my punishment was to sit in the corridor outside her office with a sign that said, "I will not go on the school roof anymore." Many students thought that my roof adventure was pretty cool. Some asked me what it was like up there. They would never know!
In the aftermath my friend Dennis did not get caught and escaped any punishment. But he did laugh at me when he heard I had to sit in the corridor.
Later, we gave many of the balls we had found to other kids. Unintentionally and probably, to the undeserving snitch? Lucky for him we never found out who that was.
But after that episode it could be said that Dennis and I had more balls!
Endless Sunshine!

We have been taking the family here for about 5 years now. The kids are always welcome. Food is always varied and service is "help yourself".
Cosy and always clean. If a problem does arise tell somebody, they are only too willing to help.
May not be the best place for anybody permanantly wheelchair bound.

|ExpStat started as a re-implementation of FuBar_ExperienceFu for DataBroker. I'm evolving it to be a deluge of statistics for XP gathering. All the code is mine, but some of the calculations are the same as in the FuBar_ExperienceFu Addon. Resurrected after four years. The only change?

I love the bed and my mattress seems so much more fluffier since I put this bed together. I bought a king but from the fit of the mattress it looks like this bed is for a Cal King mattress. I read that on another review and should have listened. It's not that bad but I do wish the mattress fit better..
I was skeptical when the package showed up. On the outside the boxes were a mess, but luckily everything inside was fine. Exceeded my expectations. It is very sturdy. It was easy to put it together, which I did on my own. I love it and would recommended to anyone. Great product at a great price. Just what I expect from Overstock.
The frame is as pictured and described but my king size mattress set is at least six inches smaller than the frame. I ordered without measuring for exact fit (after all a king is a king, right?). I will engineer a solution but I'll be more cautious in the future.
The bed came in 3 different boxes. My husband and I put it together in approx. 2 hours. It was quite easy as long as you followed the instructions. It is a beautiful piece of furniture and would look good with any decor. I am very happy with the quality of the product. One complaint - regarding the height of the headboard. Today's mattresses seem to be getting deeper and by the time you add your pillow, duvet and fancy pillows/cushions on top, the headboard is virtually hidden. The posters and some of the bronze metal work are still visible, but I wish the headboard was taller, as it is really beautiful and deserves to be seen. The footboard is clearly visible so all is not lost! It is a lovely be and great value for the money.
I read the reviews and everyone said they had a King size mattress and the frame did not fit it so they assumed the frame was for a Cal King size mattress. I bought the bed because we have a Cal King mattress and now I have a frame that is 4 inches too big on both sides of the mattress. The length is ok but the frame is much wider than a Cal King. So if it doesn't fit either of the King mattresses, what size is it really for? I am very disappointed.
I have been searching for a new bed frame, when I saw this one I fell I love with the design. This is my first purchase from overstock.com and I am very pleased with how the purchase came and how it easy it was to put together. This bed frame definitely adds a hint of romance to the room.
The bed came in 3 boxes, It was very easy to put together. It came with a built in frame as part of the bed , so dont order a additional frame like I did. It is a very strong bed with the cross supports underneath. The bed frame was 6" wider than my king mattress , which was odd but my bed skitrt covers it. It didnt say california king, so I dont know why that was and it would have been too much of a hassle to take apart and ship back.
The product is good and I like it a lot. Only problem I have had is with the tracking.as I need advance notice to be there for delivery. I attempted to track for four days without success. Called Overstock and representative was not helpful at all.
Arrived on time and undamaged. Waiting to put it together after move but things look good!
I was hesitant to order a headboard online, because I didn't know if the of quality the headboard would be as listed in the picture or if it would arrive at my house in good condition. My order arrived at my house on time and in perfect condition. We set up the bedframe and WOW! it was better than the picture. We absolutely love our new bedframe and I would NOT hesitate to order other products from overstock.com.

pokémon au in which periwinkle (the one with the piplup) is this really sheltered like 18-y-o who never got to go on a pokemon adventure because her meanie brother (the one with the snivy) wouldn't let her because he's afraid she might get hurt but her neighbour hershel (the one with the charmander) who's like this seasoned adventurer offers to take her around the region so he can try a gander at beating all the gyms again (for shits and giggles)
meanwhile famous pokemon researcher vallery (the one with the pikachu) decides to accompany them because she lives in the same town and also has a huge gay crush on periwinkle. she addresses this crush by passive-aggressively challenging her to battles.
also helio (the brother) gets super mad at hershel for actually taking periwinkle out of her ivory tower so he's kind of hershel's rival to an extent.

While visiting Castello di Volpaia last fall, I couldn't help but notice that Giovanna Stianti, the proprietor of Volpaia, also ran a cooking school on the premises. Now, I couldn't help but notice it because November, not exactly known as prime time for tourism, sees very few visitors to the Volpaia compound. In fact, I had to wander around the grounds for a good half hour before finally finding the office.
During my wanderings I happened upon Volpaia's gleaming kitchen classroom, among other facilities, as it seems that I really have a nose for stainless steel appliances. After my tour of the winemaking facilities (really, the entire village which is worth a look, as I reported in "Tasting Wines in Chianti Classico"), Giovanna and I spoke about all that is Volpaia. I inquired about the kitchen and we discussed the cooking classes while enjoying the wine, and olive oil of Volpaia.
Cooking at VolpaiaGiovanna looks forward to teaching the cooking classes whenever she can, not surprisingly focusing on the cuisine of Tuscany, wine, food pairings, and having fun in the kitchen! These cooking lessons generally last about 3 hours, and always finish with a leisurely meal under the Tuscan pergola attached to Volpaia's Kitchen. For more information please visit Volpaia's website.
While Giovanna's classes are designed to teach the cuisine of Tuscany, they are also meant to be fun, so the recipes feature rustic country cooking that is delicious yet simple to prepare. These two recipes feature ingredients common to the Tuscan countryside. In this land of grapes, olives, and foraged foods, a meal made without olives or mushrooms might come as quite a shock.
The dishes work as a wonderful foil for the Volpaia Chianti. The acidity of the wine is tempered by the richness of the olives and the béchamel, and the fresh fruit of the wine is drawn out by the contrasting savory tones the olives and mushrooms provide. While Giovanna suggests pairing these dishes with the 2004 Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico Riserva I might opt for something a little older, with more developed savory tones. That is simply my preference, though. This is a wonderful dish to pair with many reds wines, so find one you like, and let us know how it worked with your favorite wine.
Click here to download a printable PDF file of this recipe. Serves 6 as a Main Course
Ingredients1 5lb free range roasting chicken
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
1 lb black olives
1 lemon, halved
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
5 sprigs, Flat leaf Parsley
5 oz. dry white wine
Salt and Pepper
MethodPreheat the oven to 400F (200C)
Pit the olives and set aside.
Remove any excess fat from the cavity of the chicken and sprinkle with salt and fresh milled black pepper. Fill the cavity with the olives, garlic, half a lemon, and the parsley. Truss to close.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the outside of the chicken and rub the skin with the olive oil.
Place the chicken, breast side down, in a heavy roasting pan and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Cook for 30 minutes then turn over to brown the breast for a further 30 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add the wine to the cooking juices, stir well and cook over low heat until the wine is reduced by half. Check the seasoning and adjust as needed.
Presentation: Carve the chicken and arrange on a serving platter. Pour the cooking juices over the chicken, garnish with the olives and serve paired with the 2004 Volpaia Chianti Classico Riserva.

Ace Computers has launched a new micro desktop computer, the Vision Pico NUC, designed to help schools save classroom space, reduce technology theft, and save money.
The basic Vision Pico NUC system is a palm-sized device (4.6 by 4.4 by 1.5 inches) with a motherboard, processor, and case, and it consumes less than 50 watts of power. Its small size makes it highly portable. If portability isn't required, it can be bolted in place, even underneath a desk to save more space. According to the company, the unit is rugged and hard to damage because of its tough case and quality components.
The Vision Pico is based on Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC) technology, which features an Intel Core i3 processor and uses the full Intel HD 4000 graphics processing unit (GPU).
The basic unit does not include memory, storage, operating system, or peripherals, so those components can be customized to suit the needs of the school. The unit also does not have any analog audio connectors, but audio output can be routed through an HDMI port.
According to Ace Computers, typical Vision Pico NUC specifications include:
Additional options include:
Further information about the Visio Pico NUC is available at acecomputers.com.

What is TXT-U?
TXT-U is the University of Minnesota's emergency notification text messaging system. Students, faculty and staff can stay informed about critical campus safety information by registering to receive TXT-U messages.
How is TXT-U changing?
In the past, TXT-U has been an "opt-in" system. Members of the University community who wanted to receive emergency text messages had to opt in, or formally sign up, for the service.
Using the opt-in system, fewer than half of all students, faculty, and staff registered for TXT-U.
As of May 31, 2012, students, staff, and faculty with an active Internet ID and University of Minnesota email address have been added to the TXT-U system. However, only those with cell
phone numbers included in their University personal information will receive emergency text messages.
What can I do to make sure my cell phone number is registered with TXT-U?
To be sure you will receive TXT-U messages in an emergency, verify your information by going to your TXT-U page again to update your information.
Tip: We recommend that you save 67283 and 226787 into your mobile phone as a contact called "TXT-U." This way, when you receive an emergency text message from the U, "TXT-U"
will appear as the sender.
How do I add numbers to my TXT-U account?
Go to your TXT-U page. You may add up to two other cell phone numbers to your account, such as a parent's, child's, or spouse/partner/significant other's.
What if I don't want TXT-U?
Everyone who is automatically registered will have the option to unsubscribe from, or opt out of, the system. You can opt out by going to your TXT-U page or by texting "STOP" to 67283.
If you opt out of the TXT-U system you will not receive emergency text messages and will not be added back into the system unless you choose to subscribe again.
If you opt out of the TXT-U system you will not receive emergency text messages and will not be added back into the system unless you choose to subscribe again.
I don't use text messages. Is TXT-U the only way the University will deliver emergency messages?
No. TXT-U is one of many ways the University provides notifications about emergencies, including tone alert radios, on-the-ground public safety personnel, e-mail and the UMC Today page (www.umcrookston.edu/today). The goal is to communicate emergency information in many different ways to ensure that the most people receive notification as quickly as is possible.
What if I'm already registered for TXT-U? Does this change anything?
Yes. Although everyone who previously registered for TXT-U and who is still a current University employee or student has been re-registered in the new system,you will need to visit your TXT-U page to be sure your information transferred correctly and is up to date. You will likely need to reenter any additional numbers you previously added to your account.
I noticed that my TXT-U page gives me options to receive email and voice mail emergency messages. If I select them, will I receive those notifications in addition to text messages?
Not at this time. The University has its own system in place to provide multiple emergency notifications. We will be exploring these additional features in the coming months to best
determine their use at the University of Minnesota.
When will the University send me emergency messages using TXT-U?
TXT-U emergency messages will be sent only when a dangerous condition exists on campus. Examples could include an active shooter on campus, an approaching severe storm, or a building evacuation. TXT-U has also been used in the past when a campus has closed due to heavy snowfall. You will receive emergency text messages only from your primary campus.
I don't want unnecessary text messages. Will TXT-U be used to send other kinds of information?
No. TXT-U will only be used to notify you about emergency situations and campus closings. You may receive a test message once or twice a year during normal business hours to ensure the
system is working. You will not receive solicitations or SPAM of any kind.
Does TXT-U cost anything to use?
The University does not charge you for the TXT-U service. However, your cell phone carrier may charge you to receive text messages, so check your plan. If you have unlimited text messages,you will not be charged. If you have a text-messaging package, you will not be charged unless you exceed your monthly allotment of messages.
Will my personal information remain private?
Yes. Our contract with the company that manages TXT-U prohibits it from ever sharing your information.
Where can I get more information or assistance?
Contact email@example.com or 612-625-8047. Be sure to include your name, U of M email address, and your cell phone number in your message.
Questions? Problems with registration?

2011 Promising Projects — Encouraging Civic Progress
The projects listed below, from grants awarded last year, provide examples of "on-target" proposals in each of the Foundation's grantmaking program areas that seem to hold promise of high impact if implemented as planned.
Grand Action Foundation - $1,000,000www.grandaction.org
Grand Action Foundation is leading an effort to build a LEED-certified, year-round farmers market (Market) along a stretch of the southern downtown Grand Rapids poised for redevelopment. The planned two-story, 140,000 square-feet Market will replace a cluster of six buildings that are long past their prime. The 3.5-acre site will feature permanent space for more than 50 seasonal vendors and parking for more than 200 vehicles. Inside the Market will boast 2 restaurants, a banquet hall, and more than 20 specialty food vendors.
Once complete, the Market is expected to become a regional hub for the production, distribution and sales of locally grown and produced food; and over a ten-year period generate 1,270 jobs and $775 million of regional economic impact. The potential to help revitalize the surrounding neighborhood while stimulating significant regional economic activity aligns with the priorities of the Enhancing Civic Progress grantmaking focus area.
Midtown Neighborhood Association - $230,000www.midtowngr.org
In response to stakeholder input and market demand, the Midtown neighborhood Association (Midtown) is leading the revitalization of the Fulton Street Farmers Market (Market), improving its efficiency, accessibility and ultimately its economic impact on the surrounding neighborhood as well as the greater Grand Rapids area.
The new Market will provide increased vending opportunities from current 80-stall capacity to 118 stalls, improved signage, entrance, exit and traffic flow, and add a single story 'head house' to accommodate 8-12 stalls for year-round vending.
A strong performer, the seasonal open-air Market provides a direct marketing environment for produce and other farm fresh food and crafts, attracting more than 8,000 visitors per week in season and significant revenue for the farmers and crafters who vend from the site. Investment in the improvement of anchor organizations within older neighborhoods is priority of Civic Progress grantmaking.

The Nordiques made a slight change to their crest for their second NHL season. The change is most noticeable on their blue jerseys, on which the crest is red trimmed in white, instead of vice-versa. Also the name and number font gets slightly altered.
