A growing number of studies suggest that use of electronic media, such as computers, TVs, mobile phones or video games, especially before bedtime, is tied to later bedtimes and less sleep for children and adults.
There are many possible explanations for this link. People might simply be using time previously spent sleeping to use electronic media. Or use of electronic media might be displacing physical activity, which generally promotes quality sleep. Another possibility is that the increased physiological and mental arousal caused by electronic devices makes it hard for people to fall asleep.
Some researchers believe that exposure to light at night from electronic media sources can interfere with melatonin, a hormone that helps control the natural sleep-wake cycle. It's also possible, however, that people who have trouble falling asleep might tend to use electronic media before falling asleep. Obviously, further research on this topic is needed.
In the meantime, if you're concerned about the impact of electronic media on your sleep, pay attention to good sleep hygiene. For example, maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid stimulating light and noise — such as from a TV or computer — around bedtime. If you use your phone or tablet in bed, it might help to turn down the brightness and hold the device at least 14 inches (36 centimeters) away from your face to reduce the risk of sleep disruption.

Hello All,
Been reading in the forums for around 3 weeks now. Had a little problem getting registered to use the forums but that seems to have been corrected.
A while back my employer got a deal on 2 used Miller PipePro 450 RFC machines. They were in kind of rough shape and they sat around for a while unused. And a lot of that had to do with the fact that no one else in the company really had any wire welding experience of any kind.
I got them back in a good use able condition and have been using them extensively for building structural items. I've been involved with various semi automatic wire welding processes (and equipment) since 1981 and these two machines are by far the sweetest welding units I've ever had the opportunity to use.
I'm in the process of trying to work out and qualify a WPS (in accordance with Section IX) so that this can be used for fabricating piping sub assemblies in the shop (which the company currently does a lot of with SMAW).
Any way I thought it might be useful to try and get a discussion going on the forums about the use of this new generation of wire welding machines from Miller including the PipePro and PipeWorx systems and the RMD and ProPulse modes they both utilize.
Has any one here got to play with one of these new systems yet?
Stay safe.

Thanks MJ,
So far it's not looking like any one here has got the opportunity yet to play with these new waveform controlled power sources. I've checked a few other welding related discussion forums and haven't found any talk of them there either.Will Argue for Beer (any issue, either side)

Introduction and Miller PipePro 450
I have been training welders to use these powersources for a few years now. Not many other machines around North Bay Area of California. You are absolutely correct, great arc characteristics and the advanced wire procedures work for many applications other than pipe. Let us know if you get some procedure qualified, I will train techs to perform them.

Since this is my first time attempting this with metal core you might say I'm pretty tickled with myself. Got to give some credit to Dave Benson (an application engineer) at Hobart for a phone conversation and a couple of emails that gave me some good tips and got me in the ball park.

What rules are used during international events like the recent Samsung Cup?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Board & Card Games Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people who like playing board games, designing board games or modifying the rules of existing board games. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There is no standardized international ruleset in Go. Generally, a tournament will use the ruleset of the hosting country.
According to an article on Sensei's Library, at least in 2004 the Samsung Cup used Korean rules.
The Chunlan Cup is (again according to SL) the only international tournament played by Chinese rules.
The Ing Cup uses Ing rules.
I guess most other tournaments use Korean or Japanese (territory scoring) rules (?).

Looking at both Harbaughs they both remind of Shula in his prime.
Innovative, able to find diamonds in the rough, great motivators, intelligent, willing to turn everything upside down to make it work.
Philbin did a lot with not very much...
This year's team did not know how to win games. We lost at 4 because of that fact - including a Jets and New England match up which could have left us 5 and 1 in the East.
Those of who were there and remember are spoiled by having ridden the coat tails of arguably the greatest coach ever -

Comments On May 26, 2015:This was a well assembled gasket kit with everything I needed to reassemble my 2000 Yamaha YZ 250. Every seal & gasket!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 17, 2015:had every gasket but not all of the O-rings the most complete kit I have seen so far
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 10, 2015:Bought this kit, having good luck with pro x on my other bikes, i was very happy with the quality. Made in the USA printed on the package and gaskets inside which i was glad to see. They include (almost) every engine gasket, 3 base gaskets of varying thickness, every seal, and every o-ring. The only thing i didn't like was no clutch slave cylinder gasket! I think it should be part of the engine kit as it protects an engine bearing. Although it was missing the clutch slave gasket, i was still satisfied, nothing a little Threebond cant remedy if the gasket decides to leak, or grab one for the price.
Will buy another next time.

Comments On Apr 12, 2015:These gaskets all fit just like oem.

Comments On Mar 09, 2015:You have to be sceptical buying a gasket set thats not OEM, will it come with everything? Pro X came with every gasket and even every seal needed to do a bottom/top end including the transmission seals. It doesn't come with crank seals so be warned but it has exhaust pipe o-rings and water pump seals.

Bali: Sunset & Goodbye Indonesia
Posted on : 14 December 2012
Categories : Adventure - Sightseeing - Travelings
Time flies and it was the last night of our 14-day Int'l Travel Blogger Trip. I was surprised that the farewell dinner was held at such a lovely spot that we could watch the beautiful sunset in Bali. Potato Head Beach Club it is.
Often, I go on trips that I know no one. The 14-day #Travel2Indonesia project brought together 8 international travel bloggers from all over the world - U.S, Australia, S.Korea, Canada, Philippines, Europe and Singapore. Together with the Indonesian bloggers and organisers, we had such a memorable time together.
My 6th trip to Indonesia was an eye opener. The trip was very well organised and everything went on smoothly without much hiccups. It was quite tiring but comfortable.�Can you imagine I almost lost count of how many domestic flights we took to travel around the country in two weeks?
From Jakarta, we flew to Central Kalimantan in Borneo and stayed overnight on a boat at the world's oldest rainforest and came up close with the endangered orangutans at Tanjung Puting National Park. Then we flew to Semarang to visit one of the world wonders - Borobudur Temple, Indonesia's most active volcano - Mt Merapi and heritage sites in Yogyakarta. From there, we took a flight to Surabaya airport, the gateway to Bromo where it's famous for the moonscape view of Mt Bromo and the Sea of Sand. After the sunrise hike at Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, we took Garuda Indonesia to Bali for overnight and continued to Labuan Bajo via Transusa the following morning to the 'New 7 Wonders of Nature - Komodo National Park! And continued our last leg to Bali. In total: 6 domestic flights + 2 int'l flights in 14 days!
Often, it's the people on the trip that make a difference. These are the fun-loving bunch who have been travelling around the world and some have not been home yet for months! Also, a big ThankYou to Veny, Vesta, Ibu Ratna, Ibu Esthy and Lydia for showing us the beauty of Indonesia.
From left:�Bohemian Traveler (Stephen), Time Travel Turtle (Michael), Ratna,�Go Backpacking (David), Runaway Juno (Juno), Our Awesome Planet (Anton), Veny, Vesta,�Travel Yourself (Cailin), TravelerFolio (Eunice), Olga Lydia and Esthy.
With Juno, a travel blogger from South Korea and Olga Lydia, a well-known Indonesian celebrity.
And Anton from the Philippines!
Veny - Miss Lai Lai!
With Stephen, Juno and Cailin from Canada.
A big thank to Pak Erwan, the President of Indonesia Tourist Guide Association. He is the travel expert and he travelled with us throughout the trip, sharing interesting travel insights of Indonesia.
With Ibu Ratna. We were both in Batik! Oh yes, that's my new Batik blouse.
Potato Beach Club, Bali.
Men on horses walking along the beach
Frankly speaking, in the past, I hardly thought of travelling around Indonesia 'cos of her proximity to Singapore... what an irony! The #Travel2Indonesia Project has given me so much inspiration in just two weeks and now I've been encouraging people to consider Indonesia as their next holiday destination. There's so much to see and do in Indonesia - a diversity of cultures, world wonders of nature and architecture, native wildlife, pristine island paradise, top dive sites, excellent cuisines and more to be discovered. Two weeks is definitely too short to travel around Indonesia!
A Big Thank you to the�project team and The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy of Indonesia for being such a great host, giving me this wonderful opportunity to see the beauty of the country.
I look forward to visit Indonesia again soon!

1.Income Tax
Got a new baby girl (four and a half months old now), so my wife and I are all looking forward to our larger than average check this year.
2.Bonus Check
After having worked 10,000 hours for my employer (Costco Wholesale), I qualify for a bi-annual bonus check.
3.New Website
My wife bought me a few new domain names for Christmas and a years hosting with DreamHost
I LOVE my geeky wife!
4.Getting Medicated
As you read in my signature - I was diagnosed by two different Psychologists as having Hypomania/Bipolar and ADD. Due to depression, I stopped seeing them. Since the birth of my daughter, I'm determined to kick this disorder aside and hopefully get with a Psychiatrist to get properly medicated. So I can spend more time with my family, stop forgetting things, perform better at work, get more things done around the house, and nearly the MOST importantly - establish myself as a freelance web developer.

Test ID: ACANT
Acanthamoeba/Naegleria species, Corneal Scraping or Spinal Fluid
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of Acanthamoeba species and Naegleria fowleri, in central nervous system or ocular specimens
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The free-living amebae are ubiquitous in the environment, and may be found in soil and fresh water sources. Naegleria fowleri may enter the central nervous system (CNS) during exposure to infected water and cause a fulminant meningitis in previously healthy individuals. In contrast, Acanthamoeba species and Balamuthis mandrillaris cause chronic granulomatous encephalitis in immunocompromised (and, rarely, immunocompetent) adults, and typically disseminate to the CNS from a primary lung or skin source.
Acanthamoeba species can also cause a painful keratitis when organisms are introduced into the eye. This typically occurs during contact lens use when the lenses or storage or cleaning solutions are contaminated. Amebae can also enter the cornea with abrasion or trauma. Amebic keratitis can cause blindness if untreated. Most cases respond to treatment once a diagnosis is made, but some cases prove to be resistant to therapy with no antimicrobials uniformly active against the organisms.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Negative for Acanthamoeba species
Negative for Acanthamoeba/Naegleria species
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Organisms seen on stains of the original specimen smear or growth on culture media are positive tests.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The preferred specimens for Acanthamoeba ocular culture are corneal scrapings or biopsy. Swabs are suboptimal and may result in a falsely negative result. Submission of slides without material for culture is not acceptable.
Wooden-handled swabs are unacceptable for culture since the wood may contain preservatives or other chemicals inhibitory to Acanthamoeba or Naegleria growth.
Transport media that contains antibiotics is not acceptable for this testing (M4 or M5 media or any other viral transport media). Thioglycollate broth is also unacceptable.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Mr. Jeffreys is no stranger to Texas. He grew up just across the Red River in Oklahoma. Before going to Colorado, Mr. Jeffreys spent 16 years at Texas Tech University as the chief development officer for the college of business (11 years) and then the college of arts and sciences (5 years).
While at the Rawls College of Business, he led a team that completed a $60 million new building campaign, most of which was funded privately. He and his team secured more than $100 million for the Rawls College over that period.
Prior to moving into higher education, Mr. Jeffreys worked in the industries of banking and agribusiness. He was also a partner in a successful company involved in the development and sale of software to automate loan applications and credit screening for small business and consumer lending.
In his early career, right after college, he served as a member of the staff of former U.S. Representative Wes Watkins of Oklahoma. He followed that work by serving as the legislative affairs vice president for Farm Credit Bank in Wichita, Kansas and then Corporate Manager for Public Affairs at American Cynamid in Wayne, N.J.
I am excited to welcome Mr. Jeffreys to the UT Tyler leadership team.

Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) Restoration
Submit signed Water Service Application and Water Agreement with signature
If you designate SPU as the street restorer, SPU will provide you with your final fee. Additional fees will apply if there are changes in the scope of work, design or location of the new services.
Pay fees associated with water service installation and street restoration
The money collected from the contractor/owner for street restoration covers the charges billed by SPU's contractors to SPU and this cost is collected with the purchase of a new water service.
The Street Restoration Rules are based on the pre-existing conditions of the street at the new water service location, the number of street openings required for SPU to complete the installation work and the type of paving material.
The street restoration requirements, and fee to restore, are based on a pre-installation site inspection by SPU estimators.
Changes to approved plans by the customer will require resubmittal of the plans and may affect the restoration fee.
All charges are based off of the Utility Cut Rate Sheet for Seattle Department of Transportation and will include applicable state and City taxes.
Can I meet with an SPU inspector on site?
Yes, inspectors will arrange to meet at your jobsite to answer questions. The SPU Inspector may be able to suggest new tap location(s) or to identify opportunities to share restoration costs that will reduce the overall number of street openings and restoration charges. This should be discussed with the SPU Inspector to coordinate the site meeting.
Advantages to this option
- "One-stop shopping"
- Having certainty on the total cost for the connection up front
- Not having to apply and pay for additional permits to do the work
- Not having to find an approved contractor
- Not having any responsibility for coordinating the work
- Assurance that the City is responsible for the longevity of the work

1 (10.75 ounce) can
Campbell's® Healthy Request® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 cup
3 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
1 (16 ounce) bag
frozen vegetable combination (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots)
2 cups
cubed cooked chicken
4 cups
hot cooked spaghetti, cooked without salt
Great recipe! Very yummy!!!Modified it, didn't use frozen veggies. Instead, sauteed 1/2 cup of chopped onions, 1 tsp crushed garlic, about 3 to 4 cups of fresh sliced mushrooms for a few min. Drained all the liquid added the raw chicken and cooked for about 3 minutes. Then, I added almost 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, milk (with 1 - 2 tsp of corn starch mixed in as I didn't know if it would be thick enough) and cream of chicken soup, as I didn't have mushroom soup on hand, mixed it really well. Added drained spaghetti (cooked just past the al dente stage or about 3 minutes less cooking time) and cooked until hot. Then I placed it in a 8" x 8" glass cooking dish that had been sprayed with vegetable spray. Placed crack pepper on top as well as about 1 to 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese and put in the oven for about 10 min. on 350 degrees & then broiled it for about 5 min. until the top was browned & the noodles came out crispy on top. This is a great dish where you can double the size, use as a make ahead meal & freeze it without baking and also put in smaller containers to reheat for lunch - much better & cheaper than the frozen store bought stuff. Just serve with a side salad, dinner roll and some dairy product and what a healthy meal. If you're a cheese lover like hubby & I , just watch the calories, I used a light version of parmesan. Recipe is a definite keeper! Off to the store to get more soup, chicken & mushrooms so I can make ahead to put in the freezer! Thanks! Note: If f
... egg noodles ... ?? The recipe ingredients says spaghetti and the two are actually NOT the same (egg noodles are something used in Asian cookery so I assume that the pasta is what was meant to appear in the ingredients list)? Anyway - please, please consider using salty in cooking the pasta. It is still healthy as the salt merely flavours the cooking water and provides a hint of seasoning ... without it this recipe is too bland and could really do with something to flavour it. Alternatively, use a little homemade stock to cook the pasta.

well i just got done making this for dinner tonight on 2/5/2011 and gave it 4 stars because it lacks flavor.so... this is ok BUT with modifications it is good but you need to up the garlic powder and it does need salt and definitely more Parmesan cheese so i say go by taste that's what i did or you will not like it because it is a little too bland without seasoning....oh and i used fettuccine noodles and not egg noodles to get the sauce to stick better to the noodles. And for my frozen vegetable blend i used the frozen California blend of carrots,broccoli, and cauliflower. I also still used cream of mushroom soup it called for but i used two cans and more milk to make it creamier.
This was Great I put more Parmesan cheese and real garlic, instead of powered. My hard to please family had 2 servings.
I cooked the chicken in a skillet first with a light spray of Pam. Removed the chicken, and then cooked the sauce and veggies (fresh veggies) in the same pan. It helped with the flavor, but was still a little bland. Added parmesan to garnish. I think with a few modifications this recipe could be a real winner.
a very nice, quick dinner with lots of options for substitutions! add a little garlic and hot sauce next time! lovely meal
I also doubled the soup
Not so good but edible

En español | Imagine that you could get compensated for driving Mom to the doctor, helping her get dressed and administering medications.
In some places, and in some cases, you can. Here are ways your commitment to Mom and Dad can result in more money in your pocket — either from direct cash payments or federal income tax breaks.
Federal cash benefits
Most states offer programs that use a Medicaid waiver to allow direct federal payments to family caregivers for their services. But this means, in most cases, that only care recipients whose income is low enough for Medicaid status qualify.
In New York and California, for example, the care recipient must apply for and be granted admission to a personal assistance program. The number of hours of care covered will be determined by a caseworker. The care recipient is then in charge of recruiting, hiring, training and firing the personal assistant. Payment comes directly from the state.
Eligibility rules and program setup vary by state; for more information on services in your area, contact the National Resource Center for Participant-Directed Services.
These programs, which aim to keep people living independently and address home health aide shortages in rural areas, are far from comprehensive. And they "are in some distress now because of budget cuts in all of the states," says Howard Gleckman, a resident fellow at the Urban Institute. "But they're there, so there's at least a chance you can use some of that money to pay a relative for your care."
Direct private pay
Your parents could pay you directly for hours spent helping them with domestic, personal care and medical-related duties. "This is becoming increasingly commonplace," says Gleckman. "But if you do this, it's very important you have a caregiver contract in place."
A caregiver agreement proves that a parent is paying for a service and not giving a gift. A history of cash gifts can disqualify your parent for future Medicaid enrollment, which pays nursing home fees for those who cannot afford them.
If you do decide to enter a private pay relationship, you must:
- Pay tax on your earnings, and your parents must report the payment on their income tax forms.
- Make your hourly rate in line with the national average pay rate for home health aides, which is about $10 an hour. "You can't pay your niece $200 an hour to take care of you as a way to spend down your assets in order to become eligible for Medicaid," says Gleckman.
Save Money: Get AARP member discounts on travel, shopping and more
You might be tempted to just accept payment off the books from your parents, but that is risky, says Gleckman, because of the Medicaid issue. Cash-strapped states are being very strict in determining eligibility, and they can request five years of bank account and tax records. "If your parent has a regular withdrawal of $1,000 a month, for instance, they're going to ask about that," Gleckman says.
Next: Check your parents' insurance policy for cash benefits. >>

Shurtape PC-745 T-REX Duct Tape is a 17 mil ferociously strong specialty-grade cloth metallic silver duct tape. A double layer of quick stick adhesive is combined with extra strong cloth and a durable waterproof film layer to create the solution for all of your toughest repairs. Typical applications of PC 745 Duct Tape include bonding to rough surfaces; heavy repairs; and for use as bottom board tape in manufacturing housing.
Shurtape makes the tape in 3 layers. Layer 1 is the tough, thick polyethylene skin which repels even the harshest elements. Layer 2 is the thick heavy thread which is tightly and securely interwoven which creates a reinforced inner cloth. Then layer 3 is the double adhesive which melts through layer 2 and locks onto layer 1 via co-extrusion. It equates to 4x the staying power, 3x the holding power, and 2x the bite of regular duct tapes. PC 745 comes with Shurtape's Polyblended CO-EX technology with is a co-extrusion process which melds polyethylene, cloth and adhesive in a single, high-temperature step which results in a permanent, airtight bond (creates added strength which will not delaminate).

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

About Me Career, Classic, Sexy, Trendy
These jeans are comfortable but look sleek and sexy. The color is a true black which is hard to find. The jean has a higher waist so it looks classy but not out dated. These jeans run true to size. I own a pair of rinse colored jeans same style and brand they have been awesome - I wash and hang dry and they look brand new. I always get compliments on these jeans.

Welcome all...I'm ''the new guy'' I was wondering if any of yall have used NR-232 or 233 in .068? I worked with a guy last week using this wire and I have to say I was very impressed. He made it look like my kids could weld with it. Anyone here have any pos. or neg. feedback? Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Brand.
I have been using NR-232 233 and ESAB Coreshield 8 all of the same ilk for 10+ years.
Great wire used in place of E7018 SMAW with a deposition rate easily 3x that of stick. Simple to use once you get it. Great in all positions. Easy slag removal
Con requires a lot of power to run well 22-30 volts 200-350 amps. Steep learning curve for some. Will not weld over its own slag (will not float out inclusions). Creates a lot of slag, making seeing the puddle difficult for some.
I run a lot of Core8 .072 vertical up 23.5v 240-250 IPM.
A 1/2" fillet in three passes 20" of 1/2" fillet 15 minutes All vertical up. Clearly much faster than SMAW but slower than some duel shield processes.

Thanks for the info. What I've been reading says that this wire is good in all positions.... I'm looking for something to help me with overhead. Thats where I'm lacking. The guy that I was working with that was using this wire was set at 87 ipm. Is this to slow? It seamed to work well..? Thanks agian.

I've been using some 035 and its not working to well for me. I'm not sure what type of wire and I have no photos with me( i'm on the road). when I get home I'll look. I read the lit. on this wire and it just sounds nice. My problems are probably operater error. Is the 232 what they say it is? And in you exprience ,is 072 any more user friendly than 068? Thanks.
The 232 type electrode is a great all position filler. It is easy to trap slag with this type wire this is evidenced by holes on the surface of the weld. Over volting and improper travel speeds or feed rates will lead to trapped slag. Viewing the puddle is sometimes difficult. In the vertical up you want to point the electrode straight in or at a slight upward angle (3-5 deg) stay with the puddle building a platform for new material to sit on.
During the welding this wire can lead you to think you are not achieving much penetration. It might have the look of the weld metal just sitting on the surface, it takes a while to get used to this.
This is the best description I have ever seen for this wire

Bartow names Johnson as new assistant hoops coach
Friday, September 10, 2010
Longtime college/high school coach to replace Bailey on bench
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 10, 2010) - ETSU men's basketball coach Murry Bartow announced Friday that former Samford University assistant Thomas Johnson will be joining the Buccaneers' staff this season, replacing longtime assistant Will Bailey, who departed earlier this month for a position at LaSalle.
Johnson, who was entering his third season at Samford, also worked for Bartow at UAB for four seasons during the late 1990s, and spent two seasons on the bench at MTSU from 2006 to 2008. He also possesses strong recruiting ties in Memphis, having spent over 20 years as a high school coach in both Tennessee and Alabama.
"We are very pleased to have Thomas join our staff and think he will bring a great deal of experience to our program," Bartow said. "Loyalty and trust are very important factors when hiring a new coach, and having worked with Thomas in the past at UAB and watching his career develop, I know that he will be able to fit into the chemistry of our staff. He brings many years of experience to the floor both as a high school and college coach, and his time in the
Memphis area will only strengthen our recruiting in that part of the state.
"On the floor, he is smart and will give us another quality coach on the bench."
After spending two seasons as the top assistant coach under Kermit Davis at Middle Tennessee State University, Johnson came to Samford at the start of the 2008-09 season. A staunch recruiter, Johnson was part of an MTSU staff that landed a 2007 signing class rated No. 1 in the Sun Belt and No. 48 nationally by Hoop Scoop, as well as the No. 13-rated class among the nation's mid-major programs by Rivals.com. Before his time at MTSU, Johnson logged more than 20 years as a high school coach in Alabama and Tennessee.
He overhauled the Wooddale High School program in Memphis, Tenn. Prior to his arrival, the school endured an 0-23 season in 2001-02, but it enjoyed four straight seasons of 22 wins or more in his four years there, including a 24-9 mark in 2002-03. For his efforts, Johnson was named the District 15-3A Coach of the Year in 2002-03 and the Commercial Appeal Co-Coach of the Year. Wooddale, which enjoyed a 94-36 record and three seasons of 24 wins, won the district championship in 2005-06 and finished second in the district twice. The program reached the Region 8-3A semifinals every year.
Johnson spent four years on the staff at UAB under Bartow, helping lead the Blazers to three winning seasons and an NCAA Tournament berth. The Blazers won the Conference USA National Division championship during the 1998-99 season.
Johnson spent 17 years (1981-98) as the head coach at Thompson High School in Alabaster, Ala., and set a 309-191 record. He was a three-time Shelby County Coach of the Year (1982, 1987, 1995). His teams won five area championships and reached the substate playoffs five times.
Johnson played college basketball at the University of Montevallo and graduated with a bachelor of science in physical education. He has two daughters, Adrian, 31, and Katie, 23, and two sons, Marques, 28, and Caleb, 16.

This is the first set, of (hopefully) a string of sets that have the following in common:
1. Each set focusses on a particular netlabel, who's releases have appeared in virtually all CaN-mixes
2. Each netlabel (represented in each mix) is a label, whom I respect for what they do - musically, business-wise etc.
3. Each netlabel has been more than supportive regarding contributing to the CaN-series in contributing, giving feedback etc.
The first netlabel to get mixed is the German netlabel, Thinner - a label which shouldn't need any further introduction, IMO.
But for those of you who aren't in-the-know, based in Frankfurt A.M., Thinner releases electronic music in digital file formats under the Creative Commons license since 1998.
Furthermore, this label has now accumulated more than two million mp3-downloads of their catalog, to date.
Founded by Swedish Thomas Jaldemark, it's daily operations are today run by Sebastian Redenz and Ole Schulte,
supported by an international team that are geographically spread all over the globe.
From beginning to release signature dub-inspired techno/house music (which genre-wise still make their appearances/get released)
that were more-or-less trying to emulate styles/genres (eg. Basic Channel, Maurizio, Substance&Vainquer et al.).
However, over the years, Thinner has managed to evolve as a label and start releasing new sounds and/or interesting hybrids of existing ones.
One of my friends, an established DJ, artist and label-CEO, who has had the opportunity to get a sneak-preview of this mix,
probably sums up Thinner very aptly with this following comment: Music from Thinner is very class...

Gary says:"Thank you Mr.Bite for putting up this post!

The book itself is 160 pages with over 450 pieces of art, accompanied by over 10,000 words of explanatory text. The book comes in Hardcover and Softcover and I would be happy to sign and draw a sketch in it for you!"
Re: Gary Montalbano Book Signing at Petra Gallerie Los Angel
Finally, Gary's book sees the light of day! What a badass event!
Congratulations, Gary! See you on the bookshelf, as Jerry Spinelli once told me . . .
Thanks for sharing, Bite.
Re: Gary Montalbano Book Signing at Petra Gallerie Los Angel
Gary Montalbano gave us a sneak peak of his new book at a recent AN Night. It's a beautiful work full of beautiful art. Gary's been working in animation since the mid 1980s and is one of the industry's most respected visual development, production design and high concept artists. I've known Gary since the time he broke into animation and I've always been fascinated with his exquisite work and especially his creative vision. He's a magnificent talent.

Re: Gary Montalbano Book Signing at Petra Gallerie Los Angel
Gary's book signing for "Memories Within Dreams" at Petra Gallerie was a truly beautiful evening. Thanks to Snakebite, Gary, John and everyone involved in hosting it. It was my first visit to Petra and one that I won't forget. Had a great time. I met many wonderful people and saw plenty of friends and acquaintances, but what topped it off for me was running into a couple of very special friends who I hadn't seen in years and whom I used to work with at DIC back in the day. It was one of those magical nights.
The gallery itself is significant. Located in Beverly Hills, it has a growing inventory of fine original art and prints, sculptures, books and t-shirts with a price range of a few bucks to $40,000. There's plenty of unique art for every budget and I see it becoming a mecca for many artists in the Los Angeles area.
Gary's book is must have for collectors as well as fans of animation and fantasy art. It comes in both hardcover and softcover. I discussed with Gary the possibility of featuring him at our following AN Night in October and he's up for it. Gary will be in attendance at this coming AN Night on September 28 with Richard Chavez so for folks interested in purchasing his book beforehand, the author will be available.
Once again, thanks Snakebite, Gary Montalbano, John Felix and all for a memorable evening and a great time. Wishing you every success and beyond with Petra. I hope to be there soon for a signing of my own once my second book is ready. Your gallery will be my first choice in venues. I'll be working harder to see this happen now that I've experienced the place. Cheers.

Re: Gary Montalbano Book Signing at Petra Gallerie Los Angel
Looks like I should make the extra effort to get to Petra.
That was a glowing endorsement, Charles!
Re: Gary Montalbano Book Signing at Petra Gallerie Los Angel
Yes it was, Enoch! Thanks Charles. We had a great time and I was so stoked you had the chance to make it! We're very blessed with how far we've come in just a short time. I have big plans for the near future for PetraGallerie.com and the physical Petra Gallerie.
It's a lot of work, but it doesn't feel like it. Although now I have to work harder at making time for the art part but I have to since its my spot. lol gotta represent on a regular.
Good thing I have lots of stuff on my hard drive that I have yet to publish!
Hey Charles, is it alright if I quote you for press purposes? Put it on our facebook? Website? ofcourse I will link it all back to the source.
thanks again to everyone! Gary, you rocked it. He stayed well after 1 am, signing and doing sketches for people. Gary is a class act and I want to do a group book signing in the near future and have Gary come back for those of you who might of missed the chance!
I'm planning on doing two events a month pretty soon here. Maybe after the first of the year. I have lots of people to showcase and lots of ideas.
So much fun! I wake up excited everyday.
So much potential and it's surrounded by good people.

They got the OK last month from the city elections office to begin gathering the 29,490 signatures needed to put an initiative on the November 2012 ballot, and plan to begin that effort this spring.
But some of public financing's higher-profile supporters aren't leaping in to back this new campaign, led by Spencer Burton, an unsuccessful City Council candidate last May who couldn't even qualify himself for public financing before voters killed the program later in 2010.
"I understand their concern. I'm new to the scene," says Burton, chief petitioner for an initiative that would restore the public campaign finance program. "It's like a dance floor and I'm one of those guys who jumps in first. As the dance floor starts to fill, they'll jump in."
Although this new effort comes right after Portlanders rejected a measure to continue public financing, Burton believes it's not too soon to make a run at a revival. He points out that only 50.4 percent of voters opposed public financing in November 2010 and that higher turnout for the 2012 presidential election will mean a more supportive electorate.
"We have a progressive city and we should come right back," says Burton, a 53-year-old stonemason who placed fifth in a nine-candidate field last May for the Council seat won by incumbent Commissioner Dan Saltzman. "You don't let the fire go completely out."
Burton bases his optimism in part on the volunteer and donor base of the Green Party, which backs Burton's campaign. About 3,000 of the Pacific Green Party's 8,700 registered Oregon members live in Portland, and the party says it has a donor base of about 1,000 people in the city.
Jorden Leonard, executive director of the Portland Green Party, says the party will help recruit volunteers and put the campaign in touch with donors to raise the goal of $40,000 for a full-scale signature-gathering campaign.
However, the most visible backers of last year's campaign to retain public financing as an option in city elections aren't yet supporting this move to bring it back to voters in 2012.
"The Bus loves voter-owned elections and we want to see it come back," says Henry Kraemer, political director of the Oregon Bus Project. "We still have questions about whether this is the best path forward. We want to get a better sense of what the electorate is going to look like."
Janice Thompson, executive director for Common Cause Oregon, takes a similar stance that it's not time, yet, to consider another campaign.
"The story right now is the likelihood of record fundraising in the mayor's race," Thompson says. "That could contribute to 2012 being a good time to revisit reform options. But there are many factors to consider, so it is too early to tell."
Even though Burton failed to get the 1,000 signatures required to qualify for public financing in his Council run, he and the Green Party still believe they can gather about 30,000 valid signatures from registered Portland voters.
"The last campaign seemed pretty last-minute," says Seth Woolley, secretary of the Pacific Green Party in Oregon. "We were a little dismayed, so we thought it should be on the ballot again."
FACT: The now-dead public finance program provided $150,000 in public money in the primary for council candidates—and $200,000 for mayoral candidates—who collected enough signatures and matching $5 donations.
