Thursday, May 09, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (May 9, 2002) - East Tennessee State's men's basketball team has signed a recruit to a national letter of intent to attend ETSU and play basketball for the Bucs next season head coach Ed DeChellis announced today. Timothy Smith of Newport News, Va., becomes the third player to sign with ETSU for the 2002-03 season. Smith, a 5-9, 160-lb. guard, played his prep ball at Hargrave Military Academy. A two-year starter at Hargrave, he averaged 14 points and seven assists during his prep career. In his two seasons as a starter, he helped lead his squad to a 60-4 record. He played with Keith Jennifer (Virginia), James White (Florida), Jason Clark (Virginia) and Rickey Shields (Rutgers) at Hargrave, which had its other four starters from this past season sign with Florida, Wake Forest, North Carolina State and Tennessee. Smith was also the starting point guard on Boo Williams' AAU national championship team. "Tim is an outstanding point guard that has played well the past two years at Hargrave," said DeChellis. "His team has had an outstanding record over the past two seasons with Tim leading them. He has the ability to push the ball extremely fast from baseline to baseline and to get into seams and create to get other guys shots. He can also score and we feel he is a very good point guard that will compliment what we have in the program. We think he can come in and contribute right away; with Tim and Sam Oatman (Neenah, Wis.) as our two point guards we can move Ryan Lawson (Rogersville, Tenn.) back to his natural two-guard position."

What created the universe?
1. Everything that exists has a cause of existence.
2. The universe exists.
3. Therefore the uiverse has a cause of existence.
How far is this true?
Can we say that something created the universe?
Or did the Big Bang create the universe?
Is it true that the universe came from nothing?
How can we explain the Big Bang?
edward long
Apr 25 2013: The top two theories are, in no particular order: 1) God created and sustains Everything in accordance with his sovereign purpose. 2) There was Nothing, and one day for no Reason Nothing exploded and began a process where Everything was brought into Existence for no Purpose.

Mark Kurtz
Apr 24 2013: I am satisfied with a concept of Original Mind capable of developing vast and stupendous plans, a mind far transcending capabilities of human mortals to comprehend or even imagine. The beginnings of things material are not an accident or of a big bang. Humans are time oriented and therefore cannot imagine timeless eternity, so therefore its difficult to see the location of the Original Mind as coming from a still, motionless, timeless infinity called Paradise. This Original Mind is the philosophical (for man's limited thinking capability) and real origin of all energy. Are we not able to now imagine, given all the discoveries in the recent centuries, that the Universe of universes is larger than what we had thought possible?
- +2
The satisfying conclusion for now is that material energy and matter is caused by an uncaused Cause! God is the only such Mind-Person. Relying totally on tradition of world religions is very limiting; scientific investigation has revealed new data not found in traditions of the past. Such traditions cannot explain all things.
Is this helpful?
Apr 26 2013: How is an uncaused cause a satisfying conclusion mark?
Assuming a magical entity, that is not subject to any constraints is not satisfying in my mind. Its a concept akin to magic, no explanatory power whatsoever, no evidence, just a convenient assertion that a universe creating being could make universes.
You are free to believe in a fallacious argument, but it is special pleading, and an argument from ignorance.
Mark Kurtz
Apr 26 2013: It is satisfying to me because no one has proposed a better explanation. A person wrote here several months ago the big bang is only imagined, not proven. The belief in an Original Mind Cause is not magic. No, its not ignorance. Partial details are revealed and none of the world's religions has all the facts. We cannot rely on any religious traditions to explain what was not known when written or as they evolved from man's early beliefs.
- +1
No one can explain an Uncaused Cause! Who or what caused the big bang? Surely a thinking person could assume there are many more details of the beginnings of things. I prefer not to participate in fallacious arguments. The dilemma for science is material realities are here, but we cannot explain all things. We never will, but we will discover more in time. Its reasonable to assume new discoveries will bring more questions. Where does it end if there is no provision for a First Cause of all things? Satisfaction comes from knowing by faith there is a First Cause Parent of all. Such cannot be proven by science and exclusively scientific approach.
It is satisfying for me now because no scientist has found a better answer. If someone has, then let him step and explain.
The comforting aspect is that the Cosmos is enduring and all of us are invited to apply our curiosity to investigation, to relating to the Parent of all things material. The Enduring One is not imagination, but revealed in time and in private thoughts to all who will listen. PS: I am not interested in discussing religions or doctrine, so that is not involved here.Apr 30 2013: Understand this; outer space is pitch black and nothingness. Space is nothing and is endless, there is no life in space itself, space just is. Dark "matter" is what space is made of.
Darkness is the absorption of all light, so within dark matter there is light. Without light, there would be no darkness, without darkness there would be no light.
Before there was light in the universe, it was pitch black and nothing existed. All that dark matter, or nothingness, is what God is. An infinite source of light. God existed (past) before there was light; light is the reason there is existence (present). How can there be existence before existence?
The truth is time doesn't exist, it's an illusion. Light came to existence as an explosion of pure dark matter energy, and we all know explosions scatter matter into 3 dimensions. Take a frag grenade for example, when it blows up, it scatters shrapnel in literally all directions, in 3d fashion. The same thing happens with how we come to exist. We only exist because of light, therefore we exist within light. Light blew up and scattered within dark matter (space). The further light gets from its source, the slower in"time" things exist within it. Basically the Big Bang is happening now, but we're so far from the original point in space of the explosion that we haven't ceased to exist yet. Light will never run out, it will keep expanding forever within dark matter.
God is not the force behind existence, God just is existence itself, dark matter and light at the same time. God's purpose is just to exist, because if the universe didn't exist, we wouldn't exist. That's why Christians say praise God, they're basically saying that we should just say thank you to existence itself, because without God there simply isn't anything at all.
Sri Vatsan
Apr 26 2013: For some reason we are obsessed with the notion that there absolutely has to be a reason for the existence of the universe.
- +1
May be there is or may be there isn't any reason for our existence.
I just like the idea of universe existing for the sake of existing and that there is no beginning or end.
Now that doesn't mean that I think we should stop finding out the reason for existence, if there is any, but we should also consider the notion that there doesn't have to be a reason for our existence.Apr 26 2013: Science: The universe originated from the big bang. In march 2013, the Higgs particle or the Higgs Boson particle's existence was proven via the Large Hadron Collider. The Higgs particle is also called the God particle in the scientific world.
Religion: God created the universe. "I am Alpha (beginning) and Omega(ending)". "I am all that there is, therefore I am"
For those of you that do not know, the Higgs particle is everywhere in the fabric of the universe, it's the base layer of existence pretty much, according to science. God is neither male nor female, nor is it a thing. God is life energy, God is existence itself. The universe which is composed of energy wasn't created by a bearded man in a white robe; it was there, it has always been there (alpha), and it will always be there(omega). The universe just is, just like what is written in the bible.
Religious texts state that God has no limits and is beyond our comprehension. Did you also know that the universe is forever expanding (therefore has no limits)? Galaxies that used to be close to us 50 years ago, are now millions of light years further away from us. Science determined that it is impossible to know all of the universe's characteristics because it is forever expanding and growing.
I'm not sure if I properly pieced my words together to express my thoughts, but by now you should be catching on to what I'm trying to say. Science (which generally studies life and existence itself) is just the interpretation or attempt at understanding what God is, by using physical concepts. So in part, I guess science is some type of religion in itself. The only difference between science and religion is that one uses spirituality/the mind/abstract thinking and the other uses more palpable/physical concepts.
Basically, God is the universe itself, he is all that exists. Nothing really created the universe, it has always been there. How do I know you ask? Well ask yourself this, what caused the big bang, nothingness?
Roy Bourque
Apr 25 2013: All three statements are true. The problem that we encounter is that the word God is often used to explain the unexplained. Such an explanation is no explanation at all. It tells us nothing about who or what God is. If the big-bang created the universe, it still tells us nothing of what caused it.
- +1
The big-bang is the most accepted theory to date. It can be equated to many religious beliefs; God, the dawn of a day of Brahma, the causeless cause, the eternal parent of gnostic Christianity and modern Rosicrucian doctrine, and many mythical gods personifying the forces of nature in creation myths. None of these explanations offer anything other than obscurity. They all take us into the unknown.
It may be that the present universe is one of many endless cycles typical of Hindu beliefs. yet if this is true, it still tells us nothing of what is behind it because we cannot quantify anything that precedes the big-bang. All we can quantify is what we know to be true in the present cycle.
All of matter can be reduced to quantum energy fields. They are the same for everything that exists. They are everywhere, they are invisible, they are the alpha and the omega, they are what is doing the creating. Quantum energy fields are eternal. They are perfect. All forms, all structures, all forces, all processes, all physical laws are derived from them. They are the first cause of everything we know to exist. How and why they exist is unknown. We know the effects they produce. We know nothing more about them at the present time.
Quantum mechanics is the deepest level of what we know about why the universe is the way it is. I suggest you start there.Apr 30 2013: Hi Teodor, may I fill in the blancs :)
How far is this true?
Right on. It almost sounds as if you've read Swedenborg. I'll leave a link further down.
Can we say that something created the universe?
Yes and that something was, and is, the infinite God. I say "and is" because existence is constant creation.
Or did the Big Bang create the universe?
No. If there was a 'big bang' then it is God's Divine Love and Divine Wisdom proceeding and entering the universe, changing into and creating the Celestial - Spiritual and Natural heavens and finally becoming matter.
Is it true that the universe came from nothing?
Nothing material, yes. The universe was created from the spirit, or Love of God. Which of course is nothing material.
I.e. a painter creates a painting from the love and wisdom in his/her mind.
How can we explain the Big Bang?
First of all, the Creation Story has nothing to do with the creation of this universe or this world. It is all a metaphor about how God can, if we want Him to, create a spiritual being within us.
http://sites.google.com/site/liveitupspiritually/home/source/The%20Real%20Creation%20Story.pdf?attredirects=0Apr 28 2013: Let me try to answer.
1. Everything that exists has a cause of existence. That's a notion or an axiom, a starting assumption. It is not essentially true in quantum reality.
2. The universe exists. The physical universe, yes. It has been so defined.
3. Therefore the universe has a cause of existence. Not necessarily. If it started from a quantum fluctuation, no.
How far this is true? As far as you place your boundary of physicalism.
Can we say that something created the universe? Yes we can. but we should not. Because we don't know for certain.
Or did the Big Bang create the universe? It's possible that it did. This universe of course.
Is it true that the universe came from nothing? Not known. It's a possibility.
How can we explain the Big Bang? By looking at the static of our TV screen where we see the back ground radiation. We cannot explain why, though.
Looks very uninteresting.Apr 28 2013: Lets take this from a few perspectives. Philosophically, what causes existence to be registered in one's mind. Is it really possible for a single mind to know everything about everything about everything. (Circle)
You see, how do I exist in your mind and how you exist in my mind is not relative. Its about perception and how one perceives life's different mysteries. For instance, one of the greatest mysteries for men is understanding women. Although women are better at understanding men.
Is it possible that your existence depends upon my existence in a certain moment in time? Why do I believe that it was you as in YOU, who asked that question? Why do I believe that it is I as in I, who is answering YOU? Even if I shake hands with you, talk to you face to face, share ideas, does it mean that I exist externally and internally in your mind simultaneously, as do you in my mind?
Scientifically, all that is matter exists. All that can be felt through the five sensations is real. The one question, science will never be able to answer is what is the reality of reality. The limit to where these five sensory perceptions end is the real end of a human being. And the real end of any human being is death. Lets say that these five senses are in a certain being which has no real end. Therefore death is not the end for that being.
As far as I have understood meaning, I humbly say that to everything, an end is real. But to that ultimate reality no end is justifiable and perceivable. It is that ultimate reality which has ultimate power, whatever it maybe and by whatever name you call that reality. Some would call it god, others nature, gaya, mother nature, and some would call it chance. And this is all an assumption in reality (My Reality). Go find your reality.Apr 26 2013: Teodor,
"What created" is a little leading potentially.
Are you sure absolutely everything that exists has a cause? I would not concede your first premises as written. Maybe most things that exist on a human scale have an apparent cause. Possibly a fallacy - argument from ignorance.
E.g. Not sure about things at the quantum level e.g. the position of electrons.
Also, universes are not the same as things within the universe. Possibly a categorisation fallacy to say that because things within the universe generally have causes, then the universe has a cause.
The universe apparently has not always been as it is. I'm not sure we as a species have all the details at this time.
For the theists who posit god caused the universe, because something can not come from nothing.
Please define nothing?
Maybe universes can - categorisation and argument from ignorance fallacies.We don't have much data on universes coming into being.
Asserting a god did it is odd. There was nothing right? Is god a nothing or a something. If it is a something it also needs a cause. Otherwise this is the fallacy of special pleading.
Also special pleading saying a god (which we are not sure whether it is something that needs a cause to be consistent with your premise or nothing) can make a universe universe from nothing. So the universe still came from nothing, but somehow a god manipulated it into existence from nothing.
No evidence of this occurring or how it was done, or even for the existence of god.
Its kind of circular the universe means a god exists, and a god is needed to explain the universe. When really we dont know. The evidence is pointing to something happening 13 billion years ago. No compelling evidence of a gods existence in that 13 billion years, but for some its okay to posit a god at the start.
I suggest if you can accept a god making something from nothing, why the big issue thinking something could come from nothing via some sort of natural process?
Apr 28 2013: Nothingness is defined as zero mass, zero energy, where by e=mc2 is zero
Also nothingness is a zone of altered consciousness when a woman asks a man what he is thinking.
Just one question. Why so against the notion or thought of a god-being whateverApr 25 2013: Chance.Apr 25 2013: According to what you are saying the big bang was created by the cause? I agreeApr 24 2013: I've been thinking about this question for the last few months and I've come to the conclusion that it's one that everyone is going to have a different answer to - one that suits them. Personally I've been contemplating a metaphysical 'dimension'; one without the three physical dimensions and time. In many ways it's like Plato's theory of the perfect forms. In a very literal reading of "In the beginning there was the Word", but without the religious connotation that it evokes, it's the idea that existence game to be out of the concept of existence.
Apr 25 2013: "... and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." - John 1:1 (KJV). Stay on that metaphysical track Mr. Byrne. A bit later in that same chapter we are told, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us . . ." (vs.14). Best wishes!
Apr 26 2013: Hi Edward, no objections to you choosing to believe in biblical scriptures.
I would just point out there doesn't seem to be any logical reason to think the people who made up and recorded the stories in the bible or koran or book of mormon or whatever knew what they were talking about in regards to the origins of the universe.
edward long
Apr 26 2013: Hello Obey. You are right that there "doesn't seem to be any logical reason" to believe the Bible. Believing the Holy Bible is not a result of logical reasoning. In order to believe the Holy Bible a person must experience a supernatural event which replaces all doubt with a sesnse of certainty about the things of God. The event is called being born again, you have probably heard the phrase. Of course I know you do not lend any credence at all to Christianity, but you should know just for talking purposes that it teaches exactly what I just described. Again, you are right, there is no logical reason to believe because faith does not come by logical reasoning but by hearing the Word of God. Be well sir!Apr 24 2013: Hi.

The universe didn't come from nothing. It couldn't have because nothing exists for it to come from.
Nothing is nothing.
But, if there was nothing, then there was blackness or no light. There couldn't have been light so it had to be black.
Black is the absorption of all light, so within this blackness is all light and from light comes all things.
There is an equilibrium of this blackness or rather the light within it but should there be a slight change in this internal pressure, then the pressure grows, changing the equilibrium and building up until it forces an expansion, i.e. the big bang
It then expands in all directions, in my mind somewhat like a sheet of expanded metal.
This gives an illusion of time when in fact there is no time. All is just one moment that still is today (one sheet of metal and a flat universe), and each part of that expanded metal appears to be different but is only a different part of the whole and with illusion of time, comes the illusion of age. After it has expanded to a bigger size, it warps and becomes open, an open universe, always expanding.
For me, this makes it easier to see and understand the relationship between each part of the expanded metal because it is all connected, even in the spaces where it appears there is no metal. There is still a connection that effects each part and so on throughout the entire sheet, i.e., the universe.
All mathematical possibilities exist and we are just one of those possibilities that exist where we are.
As the expansion grows, it grows from the expansion of mathematical possibilities that exist as the number of infinitesimal mathematical possibilities are newly existing, or newly are.
They are what pushes the expansion further and further, so to speak.
The expansion is fueled or pushed by infinite possibilities or potentiality.
Right now, everywhere in the universe, everything is happening at once. There is no time and there is enough room for all of it to happen.
What say ye?

Using your SafeSpend Card
Where can I use my SafeSpend Card?
You can use the Card to purchase goods and services anywhere Visa is accepted, withdraw cash at all participating ATMs and banks, and pay bills.
How can I withdraw cash with my Card?
You can use your Card and PIN to withdraw cash at any ATM that displays the Visa or PLUS logo. You can withdraw cash without your PIN by visiting the nearest bank branch that accepts VISA and requesting a cash advance on your Card. Some Visa merchants also will allow you to receive cash back when you use your Card and PIN to make a purchase.
Can I have checks to access funds on my SafeSpend Card?
No. The SafeSpend Card is intended for electronic transactions only.
Are there limits on purchases or other withdrawals?
|SafeSpend Card Transaction Limits
|Ordered SafeSpend Card without BBVA Compass Debit Card
|Ordered SafeSpend Card with BBVA Compass Debit Card
|Daily limit for transactions to obtain cash from a Visa ATM
|Daily limit for all other kinds of transactions, including purchases at Visa Merchants
|Daily limit for all transactions
Do I have the option to request overdrafts on my Card?
I've heard some merchants get authorization to charge more than the actual amount of a purchase. What should I know about transactions at certain types of merchants?
When a Card is used for certain kinds of transactions, the merchant accepting the Card may request advance authorization of that transaction, and may estimate the amount of the transaction. This is usually because the final purchase amount is not known at the time you present your Card. Some examples include:
- Gas Stations will accept the SafeSpend Card to prepay for fuel inside the station, but "pay at the pump" purchases may be authorized for an amount greater than the gas purchase.
- Restaurants, Hotels, and Car rental agencies may get authorization for an estimated purchase amount, rather than the actual purchase amount.
Managing funds on your SafeSpend Card
Will I receive statements showing charges on my SafeSpend Card?
Yes. Once you activate your Card, you will receive periodic electronic statements showing all activity on your SafeSpend Card. You also will have an option to select paper statements, but you may be charged a fee for those statements.
Do I have to wait until I get a statement to see the charges on my SafeSpend Card?
No. You can always see the most recent charges on your Card by accessing website found on back of your SafeSpend Card or by contacting 1-866-236-7967.
What other online services are available to help me manage the funds on my card?
You will have access to Online Banking (track your spending), Text Message Alerts and Email Alerts.
What are Alerts?*
Alerts for your SafeSpend Card are a way of getting automated notifications about your Card balance, transactions and status. You choose the Alerts you want to receive, and how you want to receive them – either as an email or a text message delivered to your wireless phone or other mobile device.
How do I set up Alerts?
You can enroll for Alerts online by accessing website found on back of your SafeSpend Card. In the Profile section, you can select the Alerts you wish to receive and provide the email address or mobile phone number in Alert Settings. You can also call 1-866-236-7967 and speak to a customer representative.
Can I have Alerts go to multiple phone numbers?
No. You can have alerts sent to only one mobile phone number.
What's the difference between my pending transactions and posted transactions shown on the SafeSpend web site?
With a pending transaction, the transaction has been authorized for a specific amount, but that transaction has not been submitted for payment. With a posted transaction, the transaction has been submitted and cleared for payment, and the amount of the transaction has been deducted from the funds available on your SafeSpend Card.
What's the difference between my available balance and actual balance shown on the SafeSpend web site?
Your available balance includes all pending and posted transactions. Your actual balance includes only posted transactions.
Is my Card protected against fraud?
With Visa's Zero Liability** coverage, you will have no liability for unauthorized use of your Card:
- if the Card was used for a transaction other than at an ATM, and that transaction was processed through the Visa Network;
- you reported the loss, theft or suspected unauthorized use of the Card to BBVA Compass, and
- neither you nor anyone authorized to use the Card acted in a grossly negligent or fraudulent manner in handling the Card.
How can I fund a SafeSpend Card that does not have my name on it?
First, you will need to order a card for yourself using your BBVA Debit Card. Once that card is received, you can order up to 3x additional cards for other people via the WEB or telephone service. The cards will share access to the same pool of funds. When the pool of funds needs to be refreshed you can transfer funds from your BBVA Debit Card to your SafeSpend Card.
Updating your SafeSpend Card and Account
What if I need a replacement Card?
You can order a replacement Card by contacting 1-866-236-7967.
How can I change my PIN?
You can change your PIN online by logging on to website found on back of your SafeSpend Card or by calling 1-866-236-7967.
How do I update my address?
You can update your address online by logging on to website found on back of your SafeSpend Card or by calling 1-866-236-7967.
What do I do to speak to someone in customer service?
You can call 1-866-236-7967 and select the option for a customer service agent.
If your SafeSpend Card is lost or stolen
What if my SafeSpend Card is lost or stolen?
Call 1-866-236-7967 immediately to report your Card lost or stolen. You can also log in to website found on back of your SafeSpend Card to change the status of your Card and review your transaction history.
Are there fees associated with the SafeSpend Card?

I chose "trade one or two players" but I don't necessarily think that's a major tweak.
Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
I want Larry to be coach. After I heard Reggie say that his philosophy was 'Put the Dagger in 'em', I've wanted him back.
Ridicule if you like, but it's alot better than Carlisle's which is 'Build a lead, slowly lose it, and take out the hot hand.'
Life without water is tough, life without air is hard,life with one leg only is wobbly, Life without Reggie Miller, is impossible.

We might as well be optimistic and believe Bird will do what he needs to do, despite what he said in the press conference.
He's going to trade two or three players, and he's going to switch coaches. Yay!
I am curious, how he's going to change the team's or coach attitude? By saying - "You have to change Your attitude or you're out"? I doubt that will work.
I'm really sorry because of my english (which is my 3-4 language) and I really appreciate Your patience. I hope this board will make me better
"You'd better change your attitude or I'll come over to your house every night and give a speech."
That'd do it for me.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Heywoode says... work hard man.
Change "go fishing" to "go golfing" and I'd vote for that one.
I say two trades. One of which will hopefully involve us moving up in the draft to get Brandon Roy and the other hopefully opening it up for Granger and maybe even Roy to start.

I chose Major Tweak ( trade 1 or 2 players ), Minor Tweak ( sign a FA ) and Trade up in draft.
Its not hard to figure out who the 2 players are that he will try to trade ( his major tweak )......I think that we will sign a lower-end 2nd tier backup player ( his minor tweak ) and I can see Bird trade up ( probably include Freddie ) to move up a couple of spots to draft the player that he has his eye on.

Alex Katz takes a break in his Manhattan work space amid recently completed canvases, including a first-ever "double portrait," as he calls it.
In the living area are a marble-top low table, a vintage scroll-arm sofa—and a new painting.
Works on display in the loft include a framed drawing by Willem de Kooning (on the wall, at center) and three pieces by Katz (from left: Ellen, Edwin and Rudy, and Ada).
The kitchen and dining area of the Katz loft, hung with paintings by the artist (left) and Francis Picabia (right).
Arranged on a kitchen cupboard are oil-on-aluminum cutouts by Katz.

It might surprise some of you laptop makers to know that people actually use these things in their laps. I know, it's nutty. And when that happens, the speakers you put on the bottom of the machine get muffled. Put them up top or underneath the keyboard if you're trying to make it superthin.
Meanwhile, a lot of tablets place their speakers on the back edges, exactly where it's all too easy to block the sound with your fingers. Better-designed slates feature front-firing speakers, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
I want to add something: The Sony Vaio S series, which is otherwise beautifully designed and packed with useful features has a pretty noisy fan… and why? Cause when you raise the laptop's display lid, the lower edge of the display pivots down behind the laptop, partially blocking the freaking cooling vents!
Still, I think you have to forgive companies not to follow every reviewers pet complaint. I'm not actually taking issue with what you mentioned here, but there are other things:
A lot of reviewers keep marking laptops down if most of the connectors are in the rear instead of on the sides. Just because they're too lazy to move their clumsy hands behind the laptop to plug something in, they are expecting the rest of us should prefer our desks left and right of the notebook to turn into a snakes nest of cables?
We use the space next to our laptops for work stuff! And the mouse, of course, which is much easier to use when there aren't a bunch of cables criss-crossing the area.
I'd say connectors belong in the rear! Maybe a card reader, a headset jack and MAYBE one USB port for the super lazy could be on the side, but that's about it.
I couldn't disagree more, Tsais. If you use your laptop only a desk, I suppose having the ports in the rear isn't that bad. But if you're going to be mobile, it's just a pain to have to reach around the back. Even when stationary it just requires more effort than is necessary. If you want a more streamlined solution a dock is good for that.
I think a big design fail in Windows based laptops these days is cooling.
The word "laptop" suggests its intended usage….but when the air intake is on the bottom, you only suffocate your CPU of cooling when you use it on your lap, or any non-rigid surface.
I do call testing in my vehicle. I need to carry a square piece of MDF on my passenger seat in order to allow the PC to remain cool. And even the gap from the standoffs is not enough. I often have to prop my Dell up on something to allow better air intake.
I've seen this in Dells, HPs, Compaqs…but not Apple where the intake is in the back side assembly.
The protective dust covers are to keep dust and other micro contaminants out of your systems hardware which can pernanately damage tour device
Another thing is protruding out camera lens on the back of the smartphone. This results in camera coming in direct contact of the surface it is being placed on, the LG optimus 2x for example.

I-84, Cole Interchange to Broadway Interchange
Project Facts
Project Numbers: A009(819), A009(820) and A009(823)
This project widened 3.2 miles of Interstate 84 between Cole Road and Broadway Avenue, making I-84 eight-lanes wide. The existing rough pavement was replaced with new concrete. A new drainage system was installed to improve driver safety during wet conditions. The improvements will reduce congestion and will allow the roadway to safely accommodate future traffic volumes
This project is a result of an Environmental Assessment and a planning study for I-84 from just west of the Orchard Interchange to the Isaacs Canyon Interchange (Eisenman Road). The interstate, built in the late 1960's was not designed to handle the current traffic volumes. The study recommended improvements for this corridor, including replacing the existing pavement, adding lanes to the interstate, installation of soundwalls, and reconstructing the Orchard, Vista, Broadway, and Gowen interchanges to meet future traffic capacity requirements.
ITD received environmental approval for this project from the Federal Highway Administration in November 2007. For more information about the Environmental Assessment, click here.
Schedule and Funding
Preliminary design was completed in May 2008 and final design was completed in February 2009. Construction began in September 2009 and substantial completion was achieved July 2011.

When we spotted a dream catcher suspended above Nicole Cari's bed, we couldn't help but find some irony in what may be the coolest item in her slick Silver Lake abode. There's no getting around it — the down-to-earth, curly haired brunette's life is the stuff fashion fantasies are made of. As the senior director of marketing and communications for one of our fave native-L.A. brands, Band of Outsiders, Cari regularly plays dress up with Scott Sternberg, is blessed with an enviable clothing allowance, and has had a major hand in building the brand into the empire it is today.
Oh, and she's freshly returned from a whimsical Tuscan wedding … and don't even get us started on how she serendipitously snagged her covetable home! But, obviously, none of Cari's charmed life came as a fluke — the Chicago native is truly one of a kind, and you simply must read on to see why.

AkzoNobel: Economic environment still challenging, maintains 2013 operating income forecast
12:24 PM MST | January 15, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
AkzoNobel says that its full-year 2013 operating income before incidental items is unlikely to exceed the €908 million ($1.2 billion) reported in 2012. This has been AkzoNobel's forecast since mid-2013. The company says that the economic environment "continues to be challenging." Trading into fourth-quarter 2013 was "in line with previous trends," AkzoNobel says. The company says that its performance improvement plan is "on track to achieve its 2013 targets". Restructuring charges are expected to reach €300 million...

Pros: Crisp, Pure, Great Feedback, Larger sweet spot than you'd think.
Cons: Not impressed with longer irons
First, I was fit for these on the Ping iN Flight System. Went through about an hour and a half fitting process. Learned alot about how I spin the ball. In the end I was fit for white dot and KBS Tour Steel Shafts +1/2" and I like pretty plain grips so I went with the Ping 703 Grip in Standard.
I was a 19 handicap before I got these. Dang near overnight, I went to a 10 handicap. Kudos to getting fit! The set came with 3i-U but I have since ordered the matching sand wedge with same set up and even got the matching serial number. Ping Rocks!
On the course the 7i thru Sandwedge is as good as it gets. Distance control is just about perfect. Sad to say, and it could just be me, but the 6i-3i just don't have the sweetspots that the rest of the set has. I pulled out my old Ping Zings in these irons just to see the difference and I still hit those particular irons better. I know...the Zings are shovels! Not really sure what to do on that. Hybrids? Maybe. A little age may have got the best of me on these clubs.
Overall, the look at address on the i20's IMHO blows away everything else out there. I just can't say enough about the distance control. 155 yds and in they are pinpoint.
Still thinking about reshafting with some Aerotech Steelfibers

I fixed a tool that a rancher friend of mine uses. It is made to put rubber bands on Bulls for castration. Yes, I did wash it before, I touched it.
Wierd enough?

welding other materials than metal.
I plastic welded my aunts little brackets that hold the grille on to the front of her car. Plastic welding sucks.
My last job I did alot of wax welding for the investment casting process.(that also sucked dingle berries.)

of-mystery-metal knickknack, bought on some trip to wally-world
or someplace... each with a decorative doodad broken off. Since
I can weld, they asked my wife if I could fix them, who said sure,
metal is metal, after all! ().
As you said, it was not quite clear where the ground clamp would
Anyway, rather than get into a long and no doubt
losing discussion, it was a perfect excuse to go buy one of those
small butane micro-torch thingies (think cigarette lighter on sterioids!)
and ultra-low-temp solder (not knowing what these things were made out
of, regular solder might have melted at too high a temp).
Net result, the Friends are happy ("Boy, Frank can fix Anything!"), Wife
is happy ("My husband is so talented!") and I'm happy ("New Tool! I Win!")

An art teacher at the gallery where I show my titanium sculptures called me and asked if I could possibly fix her camera tripod which had a broken leg.
I said of course figuring it would be a simple fix and would be good PR for me.
Well to my surprise, it was a professional model with a fluid head and very well built (and very expensive). She is a sculpture instructor and professional photographer and her photos are worthy of National Geographic.
So I looked at the broken part and did a few quick tests with a magnet to see if it was aluminum or possibly magnesium.
Carved off a few shavings to see if it would burn like magnesium
Didn't burn like magnesium so I figured it was aluminum - (mistake 1)
So with this in mind, I set up to tig the crack. ( mistake 2)
The top of the leg melted and I was stuck with a pile of bird droppings on the top of the leg. It wasn't aluminum!.
Possibly a zinc alloy but after this I was not going to experiment to see.
So after I finished cussing my stupidity, I went online to see what a replacement leg would cost for this tripod.
Cost was $140 as it is made in Germany.
The tripod itself was over $850 - ouch.
Decided to take a break before I messed things up even more.
1 - Tell the teacher I messed up and give her back the pieces - bad for the ego and truly not a solution
2 - Buy a new leg and install it. Worse for the ego (coward's way out I thought)
Luckily she told me that there was no hurry to fix it.
So I stewed, simmered and kicked myself over the weekend wondering what I could do. Had some friends over for dinner and told them about my dilemma.
They looked at my mess and one said it looked like the 6 million dollar man tv show in the 70's.
WOW - thanks guys - I can rebuild it better!.
Silly me, I didn't even think of using a different metal to fix the part.
So I rebuilt the leg top and pivot using stainless steel pieces I had around.
No problem tigging this time and no surprises.
While the original leg was threaded to connect to the top plate, I made a stainless cap and pinned it to the leg.
Took off the "kick me" sign I had put on my back.
The rebuilt leg works well and both the teacher and I were very happy.
She wanted to pay me but I said it was a simple fix so no charge.
What I learned by thinking outside the box was well worth it.Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:
Call me the "Clouseau" of welding !

Ironing just IS. I never think about it, though if I were to reflect on it it is probably one of my least favorite chores. Trouble is, I'd hate to have my clothes as wrinkled as I am "-). Have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary

I only iron when it is a must. The ironing board always seems to be a clutter catcher if it doesn't go up immediately, so I procrastinate until I must do... (rolling my eyes at myself) Fun thoughts

I haven't ironed for so long I'll have to put the clothes pile waiting to be ironed in the dryer to blow the dust off them. The ironing is all mine (except for the church linens) because I like crisp cotton shirts. I guess that's testimony that I have way too many clothes if I haven't missed those shirts.

I rather enjoy ironing...but then again I haven't done it for ages...so I guess that's why.
I stopped using water in my iron, what a difference that makes.

well...I do like ironing vintage linens for the booth or for sewing ...and I do have to iron some clothes.
Its not the worse job, and I kind of zone out when I am doing it!
Have a fabulous Canada Day weekend!

I love ironing - sometimes to cheer myself up on a gloomy day I will get out all my vintage linens - and they are many - and re-iron and fold them. It just cheers me so - and the linen closet is tidied up.
I ironed a lot when I was a kid - my dad was a school teacher and he wore two, maybe three clean, white, long sleeved shirts a day - that adds up fast. I never minded ironing them, it gave me some quiet time in a house of commotion.

It is a necessary evil! Hate doing it.... Procrastinate because I don't want to do it... But I like the end result of crisp, starched clothes. Hmmmm- there is a overflowing basket just waiting for me.... Might get to it when I can entertained by a whole lot of DVR'd shows. That is the only way I can get through it all! Of course that will probably end up being NEXT week! LOL

Must confess, I am not a big fan of ironing. I closed down my linen business of many years....you can only imagine how much linen I would have to press off...after I got them professionally cleaned! When they went on the tables, they had to be perfect.

I DO NOT iron. I buy clothes that dont have to be ironed or I run thru the dryer over and over til the wrinkles are out. I am not even sure where my ironing board is! lol

Stout-voiced troubadour David Ball entertained Thursday afternoon at the Durango Stage inside the massive Music City Center. A veteran of numerous CMA Music Festivals, Ball broke into the commercial country mainstream in the 1990s, with major hits including "Thinkin' Problem" and "When The Thought of You Catches Up With Me."
Ball has been a professional musician for nearly 40 years: In the 1970s, he joined with Walter Hyatt and Champ Hood to found Uncle Walt's Band, a group that hailed from Spartanburg, S.C., the home of another act that played Thursday at CMA fest: The Marshall Tucker Band.
Ball's set was broadcast live on 650 AM, WSM, as are all Durango Stage performers. In the coming days, the station will feature T. Graham Brown, Sweethearts of the Rodeo, Lynn Anderson and many others.

Love her or not, any pop-culture junkie has to admit that Rihanna's rise to fame has been totally enrapturing. First, she was a Barbadian starlet with a pretty face, then she turned into a "Rude Boy" sex goddess. But when RiRi showed up in "We Found Love," rocking some truly in-the-know brands like Henry Holland, it was clear: The girl is now a fashion force to be reckoned with.
So to the Navy out there, get psyched, because the pop star has teamed up with Armani Jeans for her second capsule collection, this one recalling the spunky tomboy style that she donned in videos for both "We Found Love" and "Hard," with pieces including a beige-leather flight jacket and a sleek take on a denim jumpsuit. Super-faded jeans and cotton basics round out the casual collection — all of which prominently feature RiRi's signature "R." Summery, full of attitude, and definitely youthful, the Rihanna Navy will certainly be pleased. Take a look right here!

lets hope we end up with a top 3 pick and can do what the rams did and be set up with an array of picks in teh first 3 rounds for the next 3 years
geno smith is rg3
thats not really something you do when you're trying to build a team.
---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------
if we were one or two guys away from going deep in the playoffs i could see it. But I think philbin wants to get some guys that match his philosophy first and establish a good base of players, then go after huge play makers.
Let's hope NOT. I'm not throwing in the towel on our guys yet. But god forbid if we do draft third overall, I'd love to do what the rams did but it'll never happen. We'd need 1 or 2 pick to do that.
I prefer the much more fiscally sound idea of trading Long to the Bears for a 1st plus. He doesn't really fit zbs, especially pass blocking. He is worth substantially more to the bears than us at this point. Plus we could virtually eliminate any prospect of him ending up on the Jets in the future. Cutler needs him and they'd be foolish not to drop a first on him if they have the money to sign him long term. Win-win in my eyes.
So my draft would go:
1. WR (from CHI)
2. RT (from IND)
3. TE (from CHI)
FA: Dwayne Bowe, LB, CB
Depending on where we go with our first pick and whose available later in the first, I would try to package 2 of our picks to move back into the first round.
We have too many holes. Keep as many picks as possible.

What's the secret to great sex? There are many, actually, but here's one you probably haven't heard much about: being in good physical shape.
Sex isn't strenuous, but it is exercise. Just as physical conditioning makes working out more enjoyable, getting in shape enhances lovemaking — especially for couples over 50. Try following these seven simple health tips to stay as fit as possible.
See also: Want to improve your health? Have sex!
1. Exercise daily
In a study of 1,709 men over 40, researchers found that the more the men exercised, the fewer sexual problems they reported. Why would that be? Because exercise increases blood flow to the genitals. It boosts testosterone, which fuels libido in both genders. It also elevates mood, reduces insomnia, helps control weight, promotes deep relaxation, minimizes menopausal discomforts and contributes to self-esteem. All six of those factors enhance libido and sexual satisfaction.
How you exercise doesn't matter. Do anything you enjoy: walking, swimming, yoga, dancing, golf, gardening — whatever. Just make sure you do it at least 30 minutes a day.
Regularity will benefit you more than intensity. It's better for health and sex to take a 45-minute walk every day, for example, than it is to hike five miles twice a month.
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidant nutrients, which promote cardiovascular and neurological health. By contrast, meat, cheese, fast food, junk food and whole-milk dairy products are not just low in antioxidants but high in cholesterol and saturated fat; those last two narrow the arteries, restricting essential blood flow to the genitals.
In a 2006 study, Italian researchers found that a Mediterranean diet — high in fruits and vegetables, low in meat — improves sexual function in men. Within two years after embracing a Mediterranean diet, one-third of the men in the study who had erectile dysfunction reported restored erections. A year later, the same research team reported that a Mediterranean diet improves women's sexual function as well. (Olives, anyone?)
So how do you max out the fruit and veggies? Include fruit with breakfast. Eat at least one salad a day. Snack on any fruit. And one night a week, cook a big pot of vegetable soup, then make it your dinner — and several lunches later in the week.
3. Maintain recommended weight
Many overweight adults enjoy sex, but the research is clear: Weight loss improves lovemaking.
Duke researchers surveyed the sexual impact of weight loss among 70 obese adults. Moderate loss — 10 to 30 pounds — boosted their libidos, sexual function and erotic satisfaction. Brown researchers surveyed 32 overweight women starting a weight-loss program. After losing an average of 56 pounds, most reported more sex and greater erotic fulfillment.
It's tough to lose weight, yes — but guess what helps? Daily exercise and a diet full of fruits and veggies. (Are you starting to see a pattern here?) Exercise burns calories, and plant foods are filling but low in fat. A reasonable goal is two pounds a month. That may sound unambitious, but by year's end there will be 24 pounds less of you in bed.

Extreme Geocaching | Milestones
Traditional geocache
For most, the evolution of the geocache container begins with a sturdy great-great-great-grandfather geocache. It's the iconic metal ammo can. But in one decade of geocaching, the geocache family tree branched off into dozens of directions.
Each branch embodies the spirit of evolution. Geocaches now blend more and more into their natural environment. Say you place a cache on the outskirts of an estuary? There's a bird geocache for that. You're considering an urban cache on a park bench? We've heard of magnetic microcaches that resemble gum for that.
Take a quick look at the picture below on the left. Guess how many geocaches are in that picture? Ok, I know there are a few caveats. There can only be one geocache every tenth of a mile and none of these are activated, but how many possible geocaches do you see? The answer is… six. The bird, those pinecones, that rock, even two of the sticks are actually geocaches.
How many geocaches are hidden in this picture
Just enough room for a log
Geocaches are not the only part of the geocaching equation to evolve. Geocachers developed a keener "geo-sense" over the past decade. Say that you placed a corn cob shaped cache in field of corn… the cache will be found.
A cache like this one pictured at the bottom of the page is all in a days work for an average cacher.
I'd love to hear your most difficult find. How many DNF's did you log before uncovering the cache? Let us know, just post a comment to this blog.
Thermometer reveals a geocache

Geocaching Caption Contest 5 – Win a Barely Coveted Prize »
I love the idea of using those tiny lab flasks (Eppendorfs) as caches, but with my handwriting, it would be very difficult to fill in a log that tiny… I guess the owner of such a cache has to check very often if the log-paper is not full.
We've found one that looks like a screw…it was screwed in to the side of a building with only room for a log book.Love the blogThanks
Micors suck. Period.
My favorite was a small diameter PVC pipe buried in the woods. All that could be seen was about an inch or two of it above ground. The hint said to bring water. I poured the water down the pipe. A fishing bobber popped up and I pulled it out. On it were the coordinates to a second stage in the cache. When I placed the bobber back in the pipe the water had already drained out, so it was very well thought out. Also, as I am curious, I tried to pull the pipe out of the ground, but could not. They had it attached to a base they buried so it could not be removed. Simply an awesome cache!
A pinecone on a pine tree was definitely the most difficult but most entertaining for us. Thankfully didn't have to register a DNF because of the helpful hint.
A sad commentary on the evolution of geocaching.
Sounds like defacement to me. I hope the cacher had permission for putting a screw into the side of the building.
Burying a container is not good.,,
I've never seen the thermometer. It's a good one One of my favorites was a fake bird feeder at a cache in Eldred, Pennsylvania. The cache was a hollow core down the center of the feeder. The visible clear portion of the feeder still had bird seed. It was a large feeder so it held a few trade items plus the log.
While I was reading the article, I clearly had my most frustrating cache in mind. It as at a drugstore and my GPS brought me to a fence. I looked all over several times before a fellow cacher told me what it was. It was a cable tie attached to the top of the fence, and cachers signed the tie.I like creative cache containers and hides, but I think this one cross the line. It looked much more like trash than a cache to me.
This is very interesting, and very clever. But an obvious guideline violation.
At the time, a year ago, these two were the ones closest to my home. Of course it made me frustrated having such difficult ones, and I didn't really now about the degrees of difficulty. One is concealed as a wooden plank in a wooden bridge, so you need to lift it, then it's carved out and holds a casette case. The second one is a fake water tap where you unscrew the center of the tap to find the log stuffed inside. 4-5 DNFs on the first one, 3-4 DNFs on the second one.
Fake magnetic screw and nut on the back of a guardrail, or yesterday it was in an 8″x8″ 3 foot high wood post to block the entrance to a trail. Cache was in a hole behind the 4″ square reflector on the post. You had to unscrew screw attaching the reflector to find the cache. With no finger strength I had to get tools to loosen screw holding reflector on.
One of my most favorites, although not very difficult, was one of those plastic owls people put up to scare away birds. It was in a pine tree, the bottom of the back had been cut away to allow for the log container.
you are giving away my hides
The toughest find for us was a tiny tube that had been placed into the side of a wood chip. The chip was then tossed into some landscaping with many, many other wood chips. The hint was, "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Our answer to that is probably not as much as we ended up chucking that day! We posted one DNF and had to go back a second time before we got lucky and spotted it. But what a rush when it finally turned up! We love caches like that.
i am aiming for a hundred caches today
my favorite was an ammo box that had a handle attached to the side to make it look like a high voltage power switch. the box had industrial strength magnets and it was attached to a support beam for a billboard. i walked by it many times thinking that it was the breaker switch for the sign's lights. one of the most creative ones that i have seen.
I think you're misunderstanding my description. There was a stage of a cache in the ground and it was not buried. The final stage of the cache was not buried.
These are all very creative, and possibly entertaining, but anything that you have to take apart to find the cache crosses the line, in my opinion. What's the difference between taking apart a sign, or unscrewing reflectors, bolts, water taps, etc. and vandalism? The only difference is permission of the owner and whether everything is replaced properly, and the cacher will generally have no idea whether the CO has the land owner's permission (many do not). There are many careless cachers out there who will rip something apart destructively and not put it back. Like I said, if you have to take a normal fixture apart to find out if it is a cache, it's just bad form.
My most frustrating cache was at a local school. I knew I was right on the cache coordinate wise but could not put the clues together. As I was getting ready to log a DNF I started looking at the electrical utilities near the area of the coordinates. The CO had purchased a separate electrical box and intertwined it with the existing electrical boxes (all which were locked) and once I discovered it I was floored. It was then that I discovered that all caches are not created equal!
Brad, there is one of those water pipe ones here in Orange County, CA (Water Pipe GC1MQV8) and the page only tells you to bring two bottles of water. Doesn't tell you there's a hole at the bottom that you need to plug with your finger or the water just pours out at the bottom. I had to go back to this one twice, because my first bottle of water poured out of the bottom, and one bottle was not enough to float the cache high enough to grab it. Great cache, but frustrating that first visit! 😉
Have a cache like that here in Calgary, (GC25ND5 Archimedes). I thought of a show I saw where a chimp used a twig to get ants out of a nest. Using a suitable length twig and pushed it up from the bottom. Worked for me.
These are all very creative, and possibly entertaining.
"Don't bury your geocaches underground where it requires a shovel to retrieve them." They can be partially burried provided no digging is required to retrieve the cache.
I just found a cache yesterday that was in one of those Thermometers
I find it very time saving and very helpful for those with the handwriting issue to have a stamp made. I really like using the stamp, and it's only a small investment.
In what season do you enjoy geocaching the most?
