been thinking about buying dead island
was not sure if worth if you play list some things you like and dont like and give rating
Dead Island is a very interesting game. For every good thing i can say about it i could add a "but" to the next sentence. I'll start it off:
I picked it up when it first came out and have enjoyed it. But, if you are expecting it to be Left 4 Dead 3, do not buy it. This will not be the game for you. If L4D is a shooting spree and run and gun type game then this is a true survival horror story. While it is not particularly scary at any single time, it is extremely tense. You will not enjoy it the first time you walk into a sewer and your flashlight runs out of batteries. Or the first time your fighting a Thug(mini-boss) and your weapon decays so badly it falls apart in your hands.
First off, the graphics: at times stunning. The beach is particularly impressive, with the sunlight hitting off the waves. The hotel also gets points from me because it is a very creepy atmosphere. You regularly are walking through shadows with light only peaking past a spinning fan blade or angled out of a "foggy" window. So far, each area of this game has its own feel and look to it that is meant to import how bleak things are on the island.
The zombies themselves are a visual treat as well. While many might copy one another, you can tell that the developers put in alot of time on them. They look gruesome, look like they've been through hell, and generally look like they could be caught eating someone alive. Another bonus is the more you level up, the more the zombies change with you. I played with some friends online in a new game and fought against a Thug who was, while tall and broad, was skinny and dilapidated. When i fight against the same kind of zombie in my real game, at level 27, they are jacked and muscular and took ALOT of swings just to cut off an arm(another bonus, it shows the arm/leg/neck that you are aiming for in various stages of being chopped up).
BUT, the graphics on other survivors is sad. Facial animation is crap and they really just look poorly done. The voice acting is absolutely awful and completely stereotypical. For a game that successfully reminds you that this is the end of days, it really drops the ball on other survivors living through the experience.
Gameplay itself is great. Melee is the focus of this game. You have to get in the face of a zombie to take it out. Its bloody and hectic fun. Early in the game you will literally be using anything you can find to defend yourself. Find an oar from a boat? Bash a zombie. Kitchen knife laying around? Stab. Pipe on the outside of a house? Rip it off and use it to attack. Keep in mind, the more you use a weapon the more it decays. Visual as well as practically. Ive grabbed a stick and after pounding a group of zombies to death it looked cracked and broken. Later in the game when you start coming across actual weapons(machette's, baseball bats, a surprising amount of sickles), the game shifts its focus from getting the best weapon possible to upgrading your favorite weapon as much as possible. By finding and using workbenches you can do straight up stuff like upgrade damage and repair decay, to more advanced things like hooking a wire and battery up to your weapon to electrocute zombies as you swing it. Due to the upgrade system everything you pick up will be useful at some point in time.
Guns are few and far between, as it should be. While it is possible to find guns from exploring, you mainly get them when you run across a gang or group of thieves(looters). Even when you get them they arent that practical against zombies. Unlike other zombie games, if you shoot them in the head they wont just drop. Now that being said, if you swing a blade at their neck, alot of the time it will be an instant kill. Also, guns will instantly kill other humans if you shoot them in the head.
Exploration is a huge part of this game. This is a paradise resort gone bad and it begs to be explored. The more you look around the island the more you will be rewarded. There are groups of survivors hidden in pockets of the map that can give you more quests and rewards. There are vehicles and bunkers hidden around to help you travel or heal up. And, of course, there are weapons and weapon scripts(for weapon upgrades) hidden all over the place. 2 examples that come to mind: once when fighting looters in a foot mart i had a lull between fights as they set up an ambush spot further into the store. Instead of just charging in, i decided to look around(to be truthful, mainly for ammo and health). While walking down a out of the way aisle, i found a shotgun(at that point was non-existent in my game). Another, when helping a survivor get the a safe house, i was able to find a high damage revolver in an out of the way alley.
While slaying zombies and exploring are the best about this game, the actual quests can be disappointing. There are alot of simple fetch quests or minor variations of what you were already doing. In the city part, ive run across 3 different groups of survivors....and had to run to the medicine store 3 times. Found a survivor at a radio station that needed help: first part was to run and start up 3 radio towers. Second part: run and start up 3 more radio towers along the coast. Third part: run and start up 3 radio towers around city hall. While there are some good missions that are genuinely entertaining and rewarding, for the most part you will be running from one place to the other. It can get tedious.
This is not a perfect game by any measure and there are a number of bugs. There are usual stuff (getting stuck, saves screwing up, etc) and some unsual stuff. Once i had walked into a new area, saved it and turned it off, only to turn the game back on and have a quest done. Now i got the experience and second part of the quest, but it still annoyed me not being able to play it. Another one: i once threw my best weapon into a zombie only to die. When i respawned i no longer had my weapon or was able to get it back. I've heard of game breaking bugs, in which people get "zoned" through a house. Because this game auto-saves, some people who got zoned through a house got saved inside it and had to start over.
To sum up: the best thing i can say about Dead Island is it feels like you are trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. And thats exactly what they were aiming for. Dying in Dead Island is relatively a minor affair, as you merely lose some cash(yes, capitalism lives on during the zombie outbreak) and respawn with full health. That being said, you will find yourself constantly healing and burning up rare med-packs trying to survive because it feels like you have to try and live through this thing. You can really forget that dying is not a big deal and that is a brilliant accomplishment by the developers.
I give it a 8.5 out of 10. If it seems like i dwelled to much on the negative, dont think that. This is a very good game and unique experience away from the plain "run and gun" type that this genre has been trending towards. I've left out alot(multiplayer, how your player gains skills and how it makes the game noticable different, the "Rage" skill that lets your run through groups of zombies), but wanted to get the basics out of the way. And, because each character the player can choose has his/her specific skills, there is a replay value to this game(not to mention playing it with other people, which can change the experience).
The more you put into this game the more you get from it. Ive put in +20 hours in my regular game and am only at 53% completed, meanwhile i played with some friends online and got 15% completed in roughly 3 hours. If youve wanted to try and live through a zombie outbreak, this could be your type of game. Hope this helps.

Hello, I have the above machine that I bought new back in the late 90's to do small stainless repairs. It paid itself off in that regard but sits mostly and I would imagine that it has maybe 10-20 hours on it. Anyway, I've had the problem before where there is no current control, it just goes full bore in either TIG or stick. I was recommended to check the Hall effect sensor at that time and indeed that was the problem, maybe so corrosion on the connections. I unplugged and replugged the connector at the sensor and it worked. That was a couple of years ago, I am having the same issue and have repeated the process which worked a couple of times but after the 3rd time, it's not having an effect. I even unplugged and re-plugged all the connectors to the board (RC1-4) with no result.
I can certainly get some dielectic which is not a bad idea regardless, but does it sound as if the Hall effect sensor is bad? Seems odd that it would fail with the minimal use but maybe age is the culprit. Also, from other threads, it sounds as if when they go, they go, no intermittant behavior. Is there a way to test one? I have also read on other threads (thank you) where to purchase a replacement for a reasonable price.
thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Posted on Brothers-Brick.com, Simon has built a complete Boba Fett costume entirely from LEGO (except the jump suit and cape, of course). The outfit includes a helmet, jet pack, chest plate and blaster. See the full photo set.
"It's pretty stable thanks to hot glue and Velcro. It's light for the most part. All elements, even the strap added to the gun, are … LEGO. It's not heavy compared to my Vader but the most problematic thing about it is the jumpsuit, itÃ?'¢â'¬â"¢s too short for me and makes me hunch over."
The costume was mentioned on Gizmodo and well-received on Digg.com.

I want to level up my blacksmithing, but I can't find enough ores to do it. I've farmed all dungeons, that I've farmed so far (I'm level 11) and bought all ores\ingots from NPCs. So are there respawn timers on ore sources, and what are the best places to farm it?
I've found that fast traveling between blacksmiths as they restock is much more efficient than mining as a method of leveling smithing. Ore veins are few and far between and as far as I know, the respawn time is when the area resets. Furthermore, the act of smelting does not by itself give you experience.
For that reason, I found bouncing between War Maiden's in Whiterun, Alvor in Riverside and Beirand in Solitude, buying their entire stock of usable ore, ingots and leather, turning it into weapons or armor then selling those back to them was the fastest method.
Since you gain experience in smithing proportional to the value of the items you create, there are a few items that can make the process more efficient. Those are the Forgemaster Fingers and the Notched Pickaxe. You can use the enchantments on these items to improve the items you create beyond you current skill level.
I also found that for each type of item you can create (Orcish, Elven, etc.) there is an item with the highest input to value ratio. If you are going to grind smithing, it is best to grind whatever item this is for your level. You can refer to the tables on the relevant type. For instance, for Dwarven smithing, the bow has by far the highest ratio as it requires only two dwarven ingots and an iron ingot.
As ever with Skyrim, UESPWiki is your friend.
The one that I've found more easy to farm is going to Halted Stream Camp, northeast of Witherun, there will be few guys to kill, go into the mine, kill everyone and in the table of the chief bandit will be a spell book, use it, it will transform iron ores to gold and etc, if you're low in magicka use the wait tool, and put in one hour every time your magicka is low, hope it helpd :D
I've found that farming ore is too time consuming.
Find a vendor that sells it, buy them out, sell them something (if you have something) that will get your money back, then quick-save, attack them, quick-load and they have money and inventory back in full.
Rinse and repeat as long as you want to. Works great for grabbing ingredients too.
I use it for buying the following:
First off, go to Halted Stream camp. Mine all of the ore since you're there, but remember to pick up the spell tome on the table, Transmute, and process to turn your iron to silver and silver to gold. Go around to every blacksmith you can find and buy all their iron ore. (Also should be jotted that general traders also sell ore.)
Another mine you might try is Iron-Breaker Mine in Dawnstar. After you've turned all of that iron into gold, smelt it and make gold rings. (The gold rings sell for more than the Emulates and you don't have to waste precious gems on them. Also I would suggest having the warrior stone activated as well as having Lover's Comfort.)
Get the dwarven smith feat and raid dwarf fort/mines.
They are usually so loaded with scrap that you can't get enough of it.
If you cant get the feat then focus on raising money and buying smith materials. Improve your speech feats until you are getting good deals on your stuff.
Enchanting and Smithing were the first skills I got to a hundred on, fairly rapidly. The better you get the more you can resell your products for and thus buy more crafting materials. Eventually you start clearing out smiths inventories.

Why She's Retiring
En español | This was the right time. The kinds of interviews I did all these years — nobody wants them anymore. You have three minutes of a morning show. That's different from before. And The View, which I created, has been on the air for almost 17 years. It's very successful, and I hope it will stay on after me. But 17 years is enough. I don't want to do anything forever.

Her 'What's Next'
Why do I have to do something next? I don't ask my friends, "What are you gonna do next?" I've worked for 50 years in television — 37 years at ABC. Why can't I do what I'd like to do? Maybe go to a movie or a museum, maybe sleep until 9, maybe see a friend. I look forward to not having every day planned, or having to be at a certain place at a certain time.
Making Peace With Aging
Nothing is going to stop you from aging physically. You can change the way you look by doing certain things, if you want. But you cannot stop getting older. So [at 84] it's not something that's on my mind every day. I don't get up in the morning saying, "Oh my dear, I'm old." I get up and think, "I hope it will be a good day. I hope there will be things to smile about."
Dealing With Criticism
When I was on the Today show, there were people who liked me a lot and people who thought I was too pushy. That didn't bother me. But when I became the first woman coanchor of a network news program [ABC Evening News in 1976], I was vilified. That did hurt me. I thought my career was over. No one wanted a woman, and they certainly didn't seem to want me, and I had a cohost [Harry Reasoner] who really didn't want me. What saved me was that Roone Arledge, who was president of ABC News, felt I had value. And he let Harry go back to CBS and kept me on, which was remarkable. And that is when I probably did my best work, because I traveled all over the world and did interviews that I think remain important to this day.
Her Game-changing Style
Years ago when I was doing interviews, I felt that the personality, the character, was as important as the specific thing a famous person did publicly. And it was important to me to have my viewers feel they knew this person. I was criticized for that. But now when people do interviews, these are the questions they ask.
Most Important Interviews
The interview [in 1977] with Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin. Israel and Egypt were fierce enemies, and the future of the Middle East was resting on their shoulders. I think the fact that I was able to get them together was remarkable and unique. Fidel Castro [interviewed that same year] was different. We spent days with Castro. We traveled all over the mountains with him. Those are the kinds of interviews you don't do today because the leaders want to know what your ratings are and which program has the most time.
Her Biggest 'Get'
Monica Lewinsky remains the most watched. At the time [1999] it was a sensational interview. I think it's very sad that Monica has not been allowed to move on. And I've seen Monica, so I know. This is a woman who is now 40. Everybody else has moved on. The Clintons are in a very good place, and they should be. But Monica, for whatever reasons, has never been able to create an important life for herself.

Ok, it happened again. My friends know I knit, and when it comes time to give a gift, sometimes they give me yarn. These friends got me a few balls of thin, synthetic yarn.
YEAH!! I finished it!
Hi Guys,
Here is my latest project. I found a sexy guy wearing this sweater in the "Instinct Magazine", I had to have the sweater (the model was hot 2), so I copied the pattern.
At first I used plastic ring markers but found them tacky. So I bought some very nice sterling silver bejewelled markers online- very pretty but they fall apart at the jewel.
Anyone from Philadelphia?
I will be visiting friends and family in Philadelphia from Dec. 25 through about Jan. 3, 2008. Staying in Center City. Is anyone around? Is it cocktail time?? LOL
A few days ago I posted about the "failed" Green Lantern cap...
Now, this is a relative term, of course, but thanks to TallGuy's advice, I grafted the seam of the tychus hat instead of just normally sewing it and OH MY GOD.
I hope to see some of you at Stitches. I will be there for all four days in the Lacy Knitters

Gallery: Wiggly Cups Made of Jello Are Biodegradable and Edible!
We've been touting biodegradable tableware for some time now, but these wiggly cups made of Jello take things to the next level! Conceived by design consultancy The Way We See the World for the 2nd annual Jell-O Mold competition hosted by Gowanus Studio Space, the squishy cups are actually made of agar agar and come in yummy flavors like lemon-basil, ginger-mint, and rosemary-beet. When you're done drinking from your Jello cup, just chuck it in the grass (agar agar actually nourishes plant life) or dispose of it in a more enjoyable fashion – eat it!

Veg head think before you speak,agar agar is from seaweed or algae that is why it will feed the garden.

So does everyone understand that Jell-o is made from animals? The main ingredient is from an animal and most eco-friendly people are also animal friendly people! So maybe next time when someone wants to be eco-friendly please think of the animals!!!

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are tumors of the digestive tract that most often occur in the stomach or upper part of the small intestine. GISTs also may be found in the esophagus, large intestine and anus. GISTs occur most often in middle-aged and older adults. GISTs are rare in children. GISTs start in the cells of your digestive tract that send signals that cause digestive organs to contract. These contractions help move food and liquids through your digestive system.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., and Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for cancer by U.S. News & World Report.
At Mayo Clinic, we assemble a team of specialists who take the time to listen and thoroughly understand your health issues and concerns. We tailor the care you receive to your personal health care needs. You can trust our specialists to collaborate and offer you the best possible outcomes, safety and service.
Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit medical institution that reinvests all earnings into improving medical practice, research and education. We're constantly involved in innovation and medical research, finding solutions to improve your care and quality of life. Your doctor or someone on your medical team is likely involved in research related to your condition.
Our patients tell us that the quality of their interactions, our attention to detail and the efficiency of their visits mean health care — and trusted answers — like they've never experienced.
Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
To identify gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), Mayo Clinic doctors perform a comprehensive physical exam. This exam may include imaging studies of the tumor, blood tests, endoscopy and biopsies.
Imaging studies may include:
Your Mayo Clinic doctors also may sample and analyze tumor cells (biopsy) to confirm the diagnosis and determine the stage of your tumor. Staining your tissue sample with a special dye can show the presence of an abnormality that appears in almost all GISTs.
Mayo Clinic doctors use surgery, drugs (chemotherapy), targeted cell therapy, radiation therapy and radiofrequency ablation to treat gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).
Because GISTs may recur after treatment, you'll visit your doctor every three to six months after treatment and, later, yearly. Follow-up care at Mayo Clinic includes imaging studies that allow your doctor to detect changes or tumors that may require further treatment.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.

This is the second place winner of the first round of Build Back Better Tohoku.
Akahama village lost 100 residents out of 900. Most of them moved into the temporary housing. Though people are expected to stay in the temporary housing for at least 2 years, they are prepared to be there for much longer as we have learned from 1995 Kobe Earthquake. (The slow reconstruction delayed victims from moving from temporary housing to their own houses or newly developed public housing.) Because of the random placement of residents and the callous layout of units, the sense of community is dissipated.
The community, with the help from NPO Midori-no-ie School proposed a covered alley between units built on a slope in order to connect upper units and lower units. Currently residents must walk on a steep slope, and are worried because snow and ice on the slope in winter making extremely dangerous to walk on. The residents are encouraged to lend their hand for construction to cultivate the sense of community. The stairs and roof are designed to reflect the traditional architecture as well as utilize local materials.

You have probably heard about the Seasonal Flu, Bird Flu, Swine Flu (H1N1). But, what should you do to help prevent the spread of the virus or even worse, catching it yourself? According to the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), you should fight the flu with the 3 Cs.
Number one, COVER YOUR COUGH. You should either do this with a tissue or cough into your elbow. Just by coughing into your hands will cause the spread of germs as soon as you touch something.
Number two, CLEAN YOUR HANDS. Use soap and water or hand sanitizer. There are many hand sanitizers on the market and they are very inexpensive. Especially if you consider the cost of being off work for a week. You might even keep a tiny bottle (usually cost $1) in your pocket.
Number three, CONTAIN GERMS. Stay home when you are sick. It doesn't do anyone any good if you go to work sick. Most likely you will pass your germs on to someone else either in the air or on a surface. That's how you got it to begin with. Someone else that was sick (they may not have even known at the time) sneezed, coughed, or touched something and transmitted the germs to you. Don't do the same to someone else!
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) goes more in depth and offers another word of advise; get a flu vaccine. They have vaccines for the seasonal flu and the H1N1 flu, both flus are easily spread and can make you very sick. In some cases can even cause death! If you are not sure about a vaccine and whether you should get one or not, please contact your health care professional.
For more information about the seasonal flu, swine flu, or any of the flus visit the CDC website or Flu.gov. Or for more local information, visit the Scott County Health Department. It's better to be safe than sorry!

PREFAB FRIDAY: Haus Schnitzer-Bruch
In a splendid modern take on a local tradition, Austrian architecture firm, Maaars Architektur, turned a classic alpine "massive wood block" dwelling into a work of inhabitable prefab art. A concrete foundation holds two massive wood fins with all fixtures and fasteners built-in. This house took just 9 days to construct atop the concrete base.
The house is heated with a wood stove and solar panels, and presumably the materials function as thermal mass for storing and buffering accumulated heat. Walls of windows welcome abundant daylight and open up a sprawling vista of the hills all around.
It's hard to tell what kind of site the house sits on. It appears to be far from any other structures or homes, which would argue against the sustainability of the location (but very much in favor of its pristine beauty — ever the challenging paradox). The English translation came twice removed from the original Austrian website through the excellent Argentinian site, Noticias Arquitectura. Anyone with translation skills or more knowledge of the project, please chime in.

September 29, 2007 at 3:23 pm
Does anyone know what company made this house? or any good website for modern prefab houses?
August 25, 2007 at 10:46 am
According to the architects, this house is not "far from any other structures or homes" – a "Vierkanthof" (that is a farmhouse, consisting of four adjoining buildings enclosing a central square/rectangular courtyard) is in front of it, downhill.
The size is 118 sq m, the cost is unknown.
February 18, 2007 at 5:26 pm
I would lile more information on this house and other homes of this design.
Please mail more information at the above e-mail address
February 18, 2007 at 3:28 pm
I have to agree with David. Overall, I like the design and simplicity of the house, however I have the following questions or issues:
1. How timeless are the chosen materials, will they stand the test of time, or will the house need remodeling, rebuilding after so many years, thus defeating the idea of being sustainable.
2. What was the purpose of the cantilever? was its just to create an eye candy design. Wouldnt a conventional post support be more sustainable by having less concrete?
February 18, 2007 at 12:51 am
Once again another model of modern sustainability as presented in its own National Park-like setting – am I the only reader who finds conflict in these efforts.
February 17, 2007 at 2:28 pm
How many sq meters is the house. What is the cost and are kits available for other type of environments like semi desert ones.
Dr. Stroe
February 17, 2007 at 2:28 pm
Back in 1939 George Howe designed a double concrete cantilever that stretched out over Somes Sound in Maine in a T shape which this one looks a copy…
February 17, 2007 at 12:37 pm
A great design, period. Assembly in 9 days is amazing. A true breakthrough. I wish tem much continued success.
February 17, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Good day,
As always i'd like some details on square footage, costs,room layouts etc.
Some of the prefab houses you have shown run up over $250 sq ft! Hardly affordable for most.
I'd love to find prefabs that are well designed under $100 a square foot. Obviously costs are relative, and so much depends on local labor costs, real estate values etc. etc. But it would be nice to actually build affordable ,sustainble, energy efficient homes in rural areas at reasonable cost.
In many rural areas houses over $100K are considered high:)
February 17, 2007 at 1:49 am
If only I could get a prefab that wasn't just all right angles. Something more like Roger Dean's house. This Schnitzer-Bruch house is attractive and the cantilever is a really nice touch.
February 17, 2007 at 12:54 am
Maybe not practical or environmentally sound (don't really know) but I find the lines to be spectacular.
February 16, 2007 at 4:13 pm
does "guerrish" mean "tackily warlike?
i like this design, love the cantilever and glass into the dining area. kitchen fixtures look a bit like a high-school chemlab, but when you consider all the equipment and stuff that ends up out and on counters in a kitchen, having minimalist cabinets, etc. doesn't seem so cold.
February 16, 2007 at 4:13 pm
this looks like a very sloid form, but a green roof would add more life to it, progression of concrete to wood to plant would draw attention away from the beached look of the wood, groovy look though
February 16, 2007 at 2:02 pm
The house is in Mühlgraben am Klausenbach in the Austrian province Burgenland. Look it up with the Google maps or something like that to get an impression. Mühlgraben is a very small village with 500 inhabitants near the Hungarian border and a national nature park. The environment is in all likelihood, fabulous.
I think the rest of your information is copied from the german PDF on the MAAARS website.
February 16, 2007 at 9:47 am
Although its nice on the inside it looks a bit guerrish, like the New York projects or the English city council flats. not visually appealing if you have no clue about what im saying. : )

Senator Rand Paul, Ron Paul's son: White House bid in 2016 possible
Washington (CNN) -- A candid Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says he's interested in running for president in 2016.
"I am different than some in that I'm not going to deny that I'm interested," said the Republican first term senator in an interview released Tuesday by ABC News.
Paul is the son of retiring Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who was the 1988 libertarian candidate for president, and who made bids in 2008 and 2012 for the GOP presidential nomination under the mantle of libertarian conservatism.
Asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl if there's going to be another Paul for President campaign in 2016, the senator said "you know, I want to be part of the national debate. I think it's a little too soon to talk about who's going to run and who's not going to run, and to tell you the truth, I don't know what's going to come. Am I interested in thinking about that? Yes."
"Am I ready to make the decision now? No," added Paul, who was elected to the Senate in 2010 with strong support from tea party activists.

I'm just wanting to get some opinions on the 9 hole course at Chamblee Methodist. I play there a good bit (mostly just to practice and because it's only 8 minutes from my house) and I'm trying to make the course a little more challenging. I met with the church last week and I got approved to add another set of tees. Right now there are just red and white and they are pretty simple holes but I'm curious if more players would come out if the holes were more challenging.
There is great potential for a couple par 4's and some longer par 3's. If anyone is interested in going out there with some ideas let me know. I know I could put my efforts elsewhere but since I play 3 to 4 times a week why not make it the best it can be.

Im looking to build a small table with a vice to weld on. Wheels are a must for the mobilty around the shop. I have a bigger table, (when i need to get aggressive) this would be just to hold a couple pieces while i zap them together. I guess i would have to have a top with angled out legs to support the vise, so it doesnt topple over from the weight. I guess, im asking for a rolling vise....Any ideas for me?

Hey Lee,
Here's a pic of the mobile stand I made for my dry cut saw. It is quite compact & very stable. You can see the basic design & just configure width/height you need for your application. I made mobile stands/carts for all my shop equipment....so much easier moving things around & if necessary, finding one of those "lost" items that just happened to disappear. Maybe will give you some mental fodder to contemplate.

Pharmaceutical brand managers have the task of bringing success to a brand's lifecycle. Every brand has this lifecycle – where it is introduced to the market before it eventually 'dies' out. People who work in this role will want to make that brand as successful as possible while extending its lifecycle as much as they can to get more profits out of the drug.

Why is Facebook on its way to become a $100 billion dollar enterprise? Because, the corporate world is very comfortable with 'predictability driven marketing' surrounded by 'search based social mediums' expects 'click based' returns on investments and believes in 247/365 multidirectional expansion while rest of the world loves the freedom to engage online.

Suddenly, perfect storms are developing on the global branding fronts; the top of the agenda is now 'naming' of the brands itself and how will the names survive the rapid changes of massive digitalization of social media where such name identities reside and skate to catch customers via global cyber branding.

The daily adventures of a mom of 12 who loves to run and is training hard to see just how good I can be.

Odds and Ends, and a Winner!!
We have a few kids with colds... no one is feeling terrible, but there is a lot of coughing and sniffling. So we are keeping it all pretty low-key.
Yesterday we had a Christmas movie day and watched movies, ate leftovers, and relaxed. (I do not shop on Black Friday. I don't enjoy shopping very much. I do 99% of my Christmas shopping online). We did go out and get a Christmas tree and tonight we are going to our town Parade of Lights. I love the Parade of Lights!
I have been running lots. This morning I did a 9 miler with five miles at half marathon goal pace (about 7:06). I ran the last tempo mile at a 6:45 and it felt pretty good to run fast. I was stuck on the treadmill because of lots of ice, but I ran outside the rest of the week so I can't complain (this time of year any run outside is a major bonus!) Tomorrow I have a 17 miler to do, and next week will be over 70 miles with 10 miles on Saturday and 20 miles on Sunday. The Disney Goofy Challenge is just over a month away now. Crazy! I know the month is going to go by super fast with the holidays too.
As much as I would rather be doing my speedwork at the track instead of on the treadmill and as much as I complain about my water bottle freezing shut on my long runs, I love having winter races to train for. I love having "no excuses", I love the escape from the "busy-ness" of the holidays with my daily training, and I love the motivation to keep up my training when it would be super easy to slack.
I am happy to report that I ate great this week. I didn't overeat, overindulge, or gain any weight over Thanksgiving. I enjoyed the day. I had tasty food that we prepared in healthy ways, and I focused on my family, being thankful, and the "fun" of the day instead of the food. It feels GOOD. This was the first year of my life that I can remember that I enjoyed Thanksgiving without overeating. I don't feel like I missed out on anything, and in fact I think I enjoyed the day and the weekend a whole lot more without feeling stuffed.
Two more piece of business -
Yesterday I heard that I was chosen to be a FitFluential Ambassador.They have been expanding their program and looking for more Ambassadors (so there are lots of other people being added to the program), and Dorothy at Mileposts and Blonde Ponytail both recommended me. Thanks ladies! You can read more about FitFluential here.

congrats on fitfuluential!!! that's so awesome!
Glad you enjoyed your holiday :) I also hate black friday shopping, and shopping in general. I avoid all stores this time of year. Despite all the decorations, people's attitudes at crowded sale-crazed stores is the best way to get OUT of the holiday spirit!

I am done for the kids and that is the big one. Now I need ideas for my husband, that is the HARD one!

You're doing goofy?!! So is my husband! Maybe I can meet you after one of the races! Or even before one, because who doesn't want to meet strangers at 430am ;) I know it's a crazy weekend otherwise--I ran it in 09. Would be fun to say hi and congratulate you! :)

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
How come some people only play for a couple years then lose interest? And how do ya keep people in to it?
Views: 569
Many of the people I've known who came and went over the years, went due to life changes. Marriage, kids, job changes, injuries, aging, other activities taking up increasing time, meeting new friends who don't play, etc.
It's true. Most people aren't insane like you or I. They have lives and don't schedule there lives around disc golf like we do. We on the other hand are bonkers.
Don't take offense but maybe they still play just not with you. I have a big arm and play well and some of my friends just do not like playing with me, but they still play. I'm not a d-bag or anything but I can play a lot better then some friends.
Some just don't play well and lose interest because of that.
After 2 years "most" people tend to max out on skill level. I see alot of people drop there amount of play way down after they quit getting better at any sport.
I should qualify my viewpoint from the perspective that the players I've been acquainted with are the ones who play local league play and tournament play. The ones who play more casually, mostly just with their friends, may tend to drift off for other reasons.
I started in the mid 1990s and when I run into players I played with 10 or 15 years ago who no longer play, it's almost always life changes, not burnout or plateauing, that they mention.
I've been playing for 11 years and in the past two years I have decided to get more involve by designing and building new courses. As much as I like to play and design courses, the "getting more involved" approach has left me burned out and a little jaded. A lot people talk big game and say that want to step up their involvement, but when it comes time to put their money where their mouth is they are no where to be found. It's a little disheartening and I think it's also the reason why our sport is where it is in regards to exposure. Too many people playing for themselves and not enough people working to grow, maintain, and cultivate the sport.
LOL----Burnout among disc golf workers---club officers, course workers, TDs, etc.---is all-too-common.
No excuse! The game is free, fun, and fantastic! I think people are lazy most of the time. No one answered the second question I asked. But I will give it a whack. Um......(10 minutes of thinking). How about more events, with no expectations. Just flood the community with disc golf propaganda and event schedules. Even when people start to fade out(into the back of thier sofas) they may catch some of this paper and give it another go!! When they dont show up, oh well.
Our area is flooded with events now.
For those whom life changes have caused them to drift away, it's hard to imagine how to bring them back.
Though for those who settled down and had families, the growing number of kid-friendly courses may help.
Allow me to answer your second question with a question: Why should I, or anyone else, try to keep someone into it when their inclination is to move on? I've seen a lot of people come and go over 34 years, myself included. Most have legitimate reasons. As to the rest, I try to be nonjudgmental about whether a person should or should not be throwing frisbees. If you're diabetic and I care about you, I might be judgmental about whether you are taking your insulin and observing your diet, but there just is not anyone to whom I can say, "Hey, you should be throwing frisbees. Are you nuts?"
I am right there with you D. I have been the trout swimming upstream and getting um, well you know, and then never having an offspring. It looks like I am on my way out.
There is only so much a person can take from people who only take take take, and then talk talk talk.
I told a good friend of mine tonight that I would rather watch my son play tee ball than the have to deal with a bunch of b*tching grown folks who do nothing. I think that is where I will probably be the next time my state's election comes around.

Practicum and Volunteer Opportunities
OverviewRequirementsApplicationVideoParole/Probation Division Overview:
The "Vision" of The Marion County Sheriff's Office Parole and Probation Division is to implement programs and resources that reduce recidivism through the use of Evidence Based Practices (EBP) in collaboration with the community and justice partners.
We embrace EBP and Community Policing as guiding philosophies to deliver supervision service to our offender population. Key EBP components of our division are the use of assessments, change contracts, motivational interviewing and utilizing sanctions and services that reduce risk and promote offender change.
We are responsible for the supervision of offenders placed on probation by the Courts or released on post prison supervision following incarceration. We promote positive change in offenders with the goal of reducing future criminal behavior in our community.
Our Division employs 67 full time employees which includes support staff, case aides and certified Parole and Probation Deputies. Currently we provide supervision for over 3,600 offenders in Marion County. Of those, 1,330 are on limited supervision through the Limited Supervision Unit. The average caseload size for our 28 case carrying Parole and Probation Deputies is 58.
Parole and Probation Deputies provide the highest level of supervision to offenders who present the greatest risk to the community. Caseloads are divided into specific high and medium risk assignments to more closely align with EBP. Direct supervision caseloads are organized into geographic regions with the county, facilitating community partnerships, familiarity with the community and effective community policing. Additionally, there are specialized caseloads for sex offenders, gang, mental health, domestic violence, and offenders participating in Drug Court and Mental Health Court.
The role of the Parole and Probation Deputy is a combination of counselor and law enforcement officer. Deputies utilize risk/need assessments, motivational interviewing techniques, change contracts and appropriate referrals to community resources with the goal of eliciting positive change in offender behavior. Many of our deputies facilitate Motivation and Cognitive Restructuring groups to help encourage offenders to change. Deputies also conduct home visits, office interviews, urinalysis testing, make arrests and impose swift and sure sanctions to help hold offenders accountable for their negative behaviors. Furthermore, deputies prepare written reports and testify in hearings regarding offender compliance with supervision.
We collaborate with a number of community partnerships such as Chemeketa Community College, Mid-Willamette Valley Community Action Agency, Marion County Circuit Court, and the Marion County District Attorney's office. Our efforts have enhanced our ability to provide transition services, victim services and specialized support for the Drug Endangered Children initiative, Drug Court, and Mental Health Court. The Parole and Probation Division continues our community involvement and participation in Neighborhood Association meetings as well as various community events and presentations. Although we are quite proud of our community partnerships, we are constantly seeking to expand our effort in this area.
We have adopted a Parole and Probation Division motto, which sums up our approach:
Hope to change.
Courage to make it happen.
Determination to follow through.
