This Tiny MacGyver Emergency Toolkit Will Get You Out Of Any Situation
iFixit, the folks responsible for tearing down all of our favourite gear, also sell kits that include all the tools they use. But none will ever be as useful as this tiny $US6 "Action Hero Toolkit" inspired by TV's most resourceful hero: MacGyver.
10 Great Gizmodo Reader MacGyver Moments
We had 10 limited-edition Opena iPhone cases, laser-etched with our Gizmodo logo to giveaway. Your challenge to win one: regale us with an awesome MacGyver moment you've had. These are your stories.
Every Awesome Thing MacGyver Ever Made, Visualised
MacGruber Shills for Pepsi, Changes Name to 'Pepsuber'
MacGruber, the gadget-heavy SNL sketch that always ends with an explosion, was heavy on something else last night: Product placement. And not even a cameo by Richard Dean Anderson—MacGyver himself—could save these three commercials.
iPhone Barf Bag Mod is Perfect for Airsick MacGyver
Dealzmodo Hack: Accessorise Your iPod/iPhone Like MacGyver
The ubiquity of iPods has led to a ridiculous glut of accessories, some useful, most not. The best of them have essentially become a seamless part of the iPod experience, but they'll all cost you — and it really starts to add up. The expansion of the iPod universe, however, is twofold; more official products are followed closely by nearly as many unofficial ones. In other words, you can fully accessorise your iPod or iPhone, old or new, pretty much for free.
Plastic Cup and Toothpick Speakers Take Lo-Fi to New Heights
These "CupSpeakers" from designer Dmitry Zagga are MacGyverific. With nothing more than a large disposable drinking cup, a couple of toothpicks, and the included iPod earbuds, Zagga has constructed a sleek, cheap, and easy speaker system for his iPod. He claims the volume increase is "significant," and his photography makes this self-aware DIY project look like something straight out of a Steve Jobs PowerPoint.
Super Pen Is Thirteen Tools in One Tiny Package
Besides being a magnet for penis puns, this pen is absolutely bursting with functionality that will leave just about any tool junkie satisfied. At the most basic level you get a handsome stainless steel ballpoint pen, but it can also transform into "a hole puncher, a stainless steel file, a short cutting blade, a flat screwdriver, a wire sleeve remover/small nail remover, an ear pick, a long cutting blade, a tweezer, a Philips screwdriver, and a stainless steel fork and a saw." It could very well be the best US$15 you ever spend outside of a bordello my friend. [Firebox via SlipperyBrick via OhGizmo]
Cross 'Hot-Wire My Car' Off the Bucket List With a Handy How-To
Hot-wiring a car isn't really on the list of things every boy should get handed down from their pappies, but when you find yourself in the Sahara and your Land Cruiser keys just got eaten by a lioness, you'll be happy you checked out this informative step-by-step guide. Yes, it's super illegal, so don't be an idiot; use only in case of safari disasters. [Wired How-To Wiki via Lifehacker]
Luxury Leatherman Costs US$40,000 (For When MacGyver Stays at the Ritz)
Let's say MacGyver, or some other other gadget-loving, outdoorsy nut, finds themselves trapped in the deadly confines of a five-star luxury hotel like the Ritz-Carlton. Room service is unavailable; the concierge could only procure balcony seats for the opera; and the champagne is most definitely Korbel, not Cristal. Would they panic? Of course they wouldn't, because they're obviously armed with a US$40,000 Leatherman.

Harry Potter has provided a portal to the wizarding world for millions
of readers, but an examination of Harry, his friends and his enemies
will take us on yet another journey: through the psyche of the Muggle
(and wizard!) mind. The twists and turns of the series, as well as the
psychological depth and complexity of J. K. Rowling's characters, have
kept fans enthralled with and puzzling over the many mysteries that
permeate Hogwarts and beyond: Do the Harry Potter books encourage
disobedience? Why is everyone so fascinated by Professor Lupin? What
exactly will Harry and his friends do when they finally pass those
N.E.W.T.s? Do even wizards live by the ticking of the clock? Is Harry
destined to end up alone? And why did it take Ron and Hermione so long
to get together? Now, in The Psychology of Harry Potter,
leading psychologists delve into the ultimate Chamber of Secrets,
analyzing human mind and motivation by examining the themes and
characters that make the Harry Potter books the bestselling fantasy
series of all time. Grab a spot on the nearest couch, and settle in for
some fresh revelations about our favorite young wizard!

BOSTON, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The second phase of a national effort to combat obesity, "Collaborate for Healthy Weight," is being announced today by the National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ), in partnership with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Forty new teams of healthcare professionals and community leaders, from Pasadena to Philadelphia, have been selected, significantly increasing participation in this unique initiative. The new groups join 10 original teams that have been working since June 2011 to improve obesity prevention and treatment in their communities.
The 50 teams now participating in Collaborate for Healthy Weight are each composed of representatives from the primary care, public health, and community sectors, working together as never before, using quality improvement methods to identify, test, and implement high-potential changes coordinated across all sectors.
"We congratulate the 40 teams joining us in this unique community-based effort. We are confident that they, building on the accomplishments of our initial ten teams, will pioneer breakthrough solutions to this serious public health problem. We know they will help build momentum to a tipping point as communities come together to make ours a healthier nation," said Charles Homer, MD, MPH, president and CEO of NICHQ.
The U.S. has the highest rate of obesity among all developed nations. At current rates, three in four Americans will become overweight or obese by 2020.
"Collaborate for Healthy Weight is a unique initiative that fosters innovative local partnerships across the nation to make a real difference in the battle against obesity and health inequity," said Mary Wakefield, PhD, RN, HRSA's Administrator. "We look forward to spreading the ideas generated through these projects to other communities throughout the country."

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- FedEx and ORBIS International, a leading global organization dedicated to saving sight worldwide, today kicked off a North American Goodwill Tour in Los Angeles, California with the announcement of a new $5.375 million commitment in the form of cash and in-kind gifts from FedEx. In addition, FedEx will donate an MD-10-30 cargo aircraft to ORBIS to be the third-generation Flying Eye Hospital.

Inspired by the Porsche 356, the factory decided to build a car designed for use in auto racing. The beauty of the 550 was that it could be driven to the track, raced and then driven home, which showed the flexibility of being both a road and track car. Perhaps the most famous of the Porsche 550's built was James Dean's "Little Bastard" which Dean fatally crashed on September 30, 1955.

The 'Me' in Social Media: The ONLY Online Etiquette Rule You'll Ever Need
Run your every social media move through this special "filter" and you'll avoid 99% of the most common online disasters.
October 29, 2012 - 7:00 am
My social media "creds" are all over the place.
I was a very early blogging adopter, didn't "get" Twitter for years (then got hooked), and consider Facebook a giant bore.
All that to say: I don't think of myself as some kind of "guru," even though part of my "real" work involves managing other people's social media accounts.
I certainly don't have some Grand Unified Theory of online etiquette and best practices.
In fact, my one "rule" is about what you might call expectation management:
Don't expect anything in return.
That is, whatever you say or do online, never expect or demand apologies, admiration, understanding, cooperation — or overnight wealth, fame, or results.
And that way, as the old joke goes, you'll never be disappointed.
Bear in mind that right after I post this article, I will go on to violate all my own online etiquette "rules." If you google hard enough, you'll be able to dig up all kinds of "own goals" I've scored.
What can I say?
I may spend most of my day hooked up to a machine, but I'm still human.

Model of college governance
The new model of college governance would follow the basic hierarchy level as followed by the usual education system.
Basically, to construct a new model of college governance, one must identify the people who have experience in management; the hierarchy has to be outlined; the proper channel of flow of process has to be designed; inappropriate and cumbersome flow of process has to be eliminated, which is identified as a flaw in the prior management.
Eliminating unwanted details and focusing the objective would make a sound model of college governance.
a. Financial administration in the college
Usually, the financial administration is carried out by the trustees of the college trust. But here to think differently, the expenditures of the college have to be decided by the person who is involved with the process of educating. Thus, here the demand would be raised by the College Principal; Vice-Principal; Vice-chairman; and the Chairman. The authority of passing that bill is in the hands of the trustees.
There would be an evident change in the expenditure pattern if the above model is followed rather than spending the financial aid allotted by the trust.
The financial head of the college must be the immediate subordinate of the Vice-chairman of administration.
The financial aids to the college must be governed by the chairpersons in the financial committee of the educational institution.
b. Quality of faculty
There would be little changes if the model is constructed with the perspective of the quality of faculty.
The quality of the faculty represents the pride and reputation of the institution. The faculty should possess the following criteria:
• Strong academic background
• Sound knowledge in teaching
• Ability to adopt the new technologies of teaching
Here, the financial team and the management of the college play an important role in determining the quality of the faculty. The factors such as appointments, salary, and promotion encourage and sustain the quality of the faculty for a long period.
The management must be responsible for the appointment of the faculty; searching potential faculty is a part of the management duties.
Thus, the decision making would change from the trust to the college management for different reasons. Both the trust and the management are important for decision making.

A doctor has suggested that complementary medicines can really help depression.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, professor George Lewith said that he will "happily continue recommending" St John's Wort to his patients.
This is despite the fact that a recent study conducted by the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation found that other treatments, such as passion flower extracts, could be more beneficial to patients.
But the professor, who has been working in complementary medicine for a number of years, said that he could cite various studies which found St John's Wort to be effective in treating the condition.
He told the paper: "I will carry on recommending this herb because it's much kinder to patients.
"It's very well tolerated, with most patients seeing fast results, with few side-effects and fewer withdrawal symptoms."
The substance is most effective when used on a daily basis for at least six months, the health professional added.

Ruth's Chris Steak House at Harrah's Las VegasRead MoreIt's probably a good thing that Flavors offers all-you-can-eat specials, because their buffet is stocked with an international lineup of dishes and culinary traditions that will tempt most patrons to try a little bit of everything. At live cooking stations, chefs prepare a continuously changing assortment of entrees that might include prime rib or hand-rolled sushi.

Blue Martini LoungeRead MoreBlue Martini's eponymous cocktail might be first on their list of "classic" martinis, but those ordering it shouldn't expect it to look traditional. For starters, it's not clear, but blue (of course). It also eschews the usual glassware, arriving over ice in an oversized snifter rather than a martini glass. The drink gets its hue from a dose of Blue Curaçao, and its taste from a blend of vodka, Cointreau, and orange juice, a mixture patrons can continue to stir with the glow stick that comes propped inside the glass. Blue Martini is able to take such liberties with their libations because they've created 40 unique specialty martinis, a list that draws from flavor inspirations as varied as cucumber, caramel, and sour apple. There's even four different "skinny" martinis, which weigh in at less than 250 calories each. It's not all martinis, though; bartenders are adept at crafting limitless cocktails, popping bottles of champagne, and pairing guests with selections of red and white wines almost exclusively from California. To keep their drinks company, guests can order from a succinct, yet diverse menu of dishes including a beef tenderloin flatbread and seared tuna with an Asian seaweed and calamari salad. The upscale, sizable environs at each Blue Martini location make them ideal party venues; in fact, hosts can even treat their guests to bites from party-platter menus designed to feed up to 400 people or one really hungry garbage disposal.6593 Las Vegas Blvd SLas Vegas, NV US

Big 2nd quarter allows Wylie girls to crack Graham
The Wylie girls basketball team opened the District 2-3A season with a lopsided win Friday, using a 29-6 second-quarter advantage to set the pace for a 64-37 victory over Graham at the Wylie gymnasium.
The Lady Bulldogs got off to a sluggish start, hitting just three of their first 13 shots and falling behind 8-6. But Wylie shot 53.4 percent from the field the rest of the way and forced 25 turnovers to turn the game into a rout.
After finishing the first quarter on a 5-2 run to pull ahead 11-10, the Lady Bulldogs (16-9 overall, 1-0 in league play) erased all doubt in the second quarter, hitting 12 of 18 shots in the period and finishing the frame on an 18-0 run to go to halftime up 40-16.
Graham, which fell to 10-12 on the season and 0-1 in 2-3A play, turned the ball over nine times in the period and was held scoreless the final four minutes of the first half.
"There are going to be spurts like that and we've got to take advantage of it," Wylie coach Tri Danley said. "With the way we're trying to play, up and down the floor, we're going to give up some baskets that we don't really want to give up. But if we can give up a basket to our five steals, then hopefully that will pay off.
"Because once we get it going, that's kind of hard to stop."
Graham, which struggled with Wylie's pressure defense all night, played the Lady Bulldogs tight in the second half. With the game already decided, the Lady Blues were outscored just 24-21 in the final 16 minutes.
Danley said despite winning comfortably, his team has plenty left to work on.
The Lady Bulldogs allowed Graham's Sadie Dickinson to score a game-high 19 points and Wylie committed 17 fouls.
"We gave up too many points, but you can't really complain. A win's a win," Danley said. "But we're really focusing on defense, and we want to try to work hard at keeping people from scoring. Tonight, we fouled too much. We were reaching in, slapping and not moving our feet."
One of many bright spots for Wylie, though, was the play of senior post Megan Rausch. Rausch, who missed much of the Lady Bulldogs' nondistrict slate with a knee injury, scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds off the bench to pace her team.
"I think Megan came in and gave us spark. She made some baskets and got some rebounds," Danley said. "She's feeling more comfortable playing, and that's definitely going to help us down the road."
Wylie returns to action Tuesday with a game at Brownwood.

editor's review
BestBox is an open source operating system based on the Lubuntu Linux distribution, an official Ubuntu flavor that uses LXDE as its default and only graphical desktop environment, which also used in this project.
Distributed as a Live DVD for 32-bit platforms
The BestBox operating system is distributed as a Live DVD ISO image of approximately 1GB in size, designed to work on both 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (x86_64) hardware platforms. However, the user should be aware of the fact that is supports only 32-bit applications.
Please note that the use must burn the ISO image to a blank DVD disc or write it on a USB flash drive of 2GB or higher capacity in order to boot it from the BIOS of a computer.
Boot options
Default boot options include the ability to start the live environment with standard drivers or in safe graphics mode using the xforcevesa option, start the graphical installer directly, run a memory test, as well as to boot the first disk drive.
Traditional desktop environment powered by LXDE
As mentioned, the default and only desktop environment of this Lubuntu-based operating system is LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment), which provides users with a two-panel layout.
Default applications
Default applications include the Audacious audio player, Midori web browser, GNOME MPlayer video player, Sylpheed email client, Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger, guvcview webcam viewer, SMPlayer video player, LibreOffice office suite and Transmission torrent downloader.
In addition, the GIMP image editor, Inkscape vector graphics editor, PCManFM file manager, GPicView image viewer, Leadpad text editor and a bunch of games are also included.
Bottom line
In conclusion, BestBox proves to be an open source distribution of Linux that is very fast, easy to use, stable and reliable, based on an LTS (Long Term Support) edition of Lubuntu and built around the traditional LXDE desktop environment.

Every postie worth his or her or its weight in Foucault volumes will tell you that mental illness did not always exist: it's just a convenient label that our rational and modern age, accustomed to scientists measuring and classifying things, employs to describe deviant behaviors. Every psychiatrist will likewise tell you that mental illness has always existed, and it's only in the modern era that we've developed the means to identify and treat it as something other than a malevolent spirit or divine curse. It's difficult to deny that a lot of people who would otherwise put themselves in harm's way, directly or indirectly, have been helped by modern psychiatry. It's also hard to deny that the body of knowledge that mental health experts use to describe and treat mental illness often seems flawed, sometimes disastrously so. One has a normal state, they reason, and perhaps it grows and is transformed by experiences, but it's that fixed state that psychiatry seeks to preserve, to restore, and to guard. This notion of personal identity is one of society's few remaining unassailable citadels, standing squat and sturdy while religion, faith in institutions, and good storytelling are eroded by the churning forces of progress and market capitalism. It's at the core of the way both psychiatrists and many of their critics view the world. It may also be very wrong.
For a film about one of the most ideologically charged conflicts of the 20th century, The Spanish Earth is curiously devoid of overt ideological messages. A war neutered of ideological content will be especially disorienting for American audiences. Every one of our conflicts has been a crusade for justice and liberty; every one of our opponents a bestial personification of all that is evil. From our shared lifetime of Disneyfied grade school history, 42 minute basic cable specials, and Greatest Generation circle jerks, we have been primed to think that Osama bin Laden, the Communists, the Nazis, and the Japanese had to be obliterated because they hated our American freedoms, and dammit, we expect our war movies to paint them accordingly.
Part essay, part prose, part love letter.
It is impossible to speak of real human progress without acknowledging the need for radical redesign and enhancement of our biology. No matter how much we improve our external quality of life through social and economic reform, we will never stop the hedonic treadmill. Permanent gradients of bliss and universal empathy were, for most of biological history, maladaptive traits. The fact that human civilization is wrought with so much suffering is not solely a result of the inhumane economic and political systems in place all over the world. In truth, our neural hardware is designed for misery, pain, hate, and selfishness, as these experiences have been critical to survival.
From Yukio Mishima's novel The Temple of the Golden Pavilion:
How shall I put it? Beauty – yes, beauty is like a decayed tooth. It rubs against one's tongue, it hangs there, hurting one, insisting on its own existence. Finally it gets so that one cannot stand the pain and one goes to the dentist to have the tooth extracted.
Then, as one looks at the small, dirty, brown, blood-stained tooth lying in one's hand, one's thoughts are likely to be as follows: Is this it? Is this all it was? That thing which caused me so much pain, which made me constantly fret about its existence, which was stubbornly rooted within me, is now merely a dead object.
Something about the way this giant flock of birds whips around and then suddenly drops like a giant hammer makes it seem almost malevolent. Jesse gets credit for finding this mesmerizing video, though we both already knew the song (which is awesome).
There are many keen insights in this, but Žižek lumps so many things under the heading of "green capitalism" that the label becomes meaningless and does so in service of rather nihilistic conclusions. Žižek never clearly defines what "green capitalism" is but rather lets it stand in for a variety of things he dislikes: environmentalism, consumerism, contemporary business standards and anything else that might somewhere, someplace have been called "green" or "capitalist." The kicker? There's no way out, unless we replace the existing order entirely.
A great deal of time was spent pondering how to begin this essay. Given the scope of the concepts at hand, there did not seem to be any way to properly introduce my ideas to the reader. So I decided to begin with the hackneyed postmodern device known as self-reference, thus absolving myself of the burdensome duty of being creative [end humor sequence]. Since most of the readership, which undoubtedly consists entirely of people I coaxed through facebook to follow a link here, is probably uninitiated in one or more of these concepts, it is necessary to explain each of them on the course presenting my own ideas.
The hermetically sealed theocracy-meets-Stalinist dictatorship of North Korea does not allow foreign reporters or filmmakers onto their territory. The state's quasi-racist ideology shuns them – they might taint Korean purity. So, aside from the Chinese and Russian workers who necessarily do cross-border business, or the odd tourist from harmless countries like Switzerland, there are not many people who can talk about North Korea with the kind of first-hand experience that makes a documentary especially compelling. N. C. Heikin's Kimjongilia skirts around those foreign middlemen and goes directly to the source: North Korean refugees who have successfully made it to South Korea. Their stories, told through filmed interviews, are harrowing, horrifying, and rarely have a happy ending.
Looks like there might be a tornado in Athens County today. Brings back some ugly memories for me. Just when I thought I was out of the 'nado chasin' game, they pull me back in. And by "they," I mean powerful 'nado winds. Matter of fact, I used to be a 'nado chaser. Before catching 'nadoes, I caught dogs, but where's the rush? A dog can't hurl a stop sign through your abdomen.
By popular demand I am reposting my original review/rant on Transformers 2, one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Â This piece was originally published on my other blog, which is dead now, so technically it sort of qualifies as new material. Â Right? Â Sure, anyway, this was originally written July 2, 2009 immediately after seeing Revenge of the Fallen in the theater. Â Enjoy!
This was actually my final project for my Literature class but it's entertaining enough to warrant general readership. Â It's probably better if you've actually read The Inferno, though. Â I'll probably write the rest of the cantos sometime in the future.
TODAY'S NEWS: Healthcare "reform" bill passes, Earth continues to orbit sun AND rotate on it's axis. Â Conservatives panic about "socialist" healthcare despite the government having been entrenched in the industry for centuries and despite a critical misunderstanding of what the word socialism actually means.

Since I was a wee tot with Jurassic Park velcro shoes and a bowl haircut I've played SimCity in one incarnation or another. I don't mean that I've played it consistently for that long, but the concept of SimCity is burned into my motor memory right between potty training and coloring inside the lines (which I later stopped doing because it is a form of programming: going "outside the lines†is considered wrong, you do the math. I still do use the toilet though, quite routinely). The first SimCity I played was, well the first SimCity game ever made on the Commodore 64, then I upgraded to the Super Nintendo version when it came out. I remember very little about the Commodore version but the SNES version was one of my favorite games at the time. For those unfamiliar with the SimCity series, the premise is pretty simple: you are the omnipotent, perpetually incumbent, de facto mayor of a city that does not yet exist. You must then build a city starting with a power plant and then add "zonesâ€, i.e. residential, commercial, and industrial zones. There is a meter that informs you of the demand for each type of zone so you get a sense of what to build. You can also build various civic and utilitarian structures like police and fire stations, airports, and of course roads and rails for transportation. And on you go like this, expanding, bringing in more and more citizens while managing a budget, balancing spending and tax revenue.

One bill co-sponsored by Sen. Patty Ritchie and one bill championed by Assemblywoman Addie Russell were vetoed this week by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, resulting in a relatively strongly-worded news release from Mrs. Russell.
Mrs. Russell's bill would have exempted small camp grounds from having to install expensive dumping stations.
Her bill would have helped ease regulations on small businesses, she argued.
"Instead, the Governor chose to veto this legislation, stating that there is a waiver process for campgrounds. Requiring that campgrounds go through an arduous process to obtain a waiver is only temporary and is far more business-unfriendly than what my bill would have allowed," Mrs. Russell said.
Some strong tea from Mrs. Russell to her fellow Democrat, and uber-popular, governor.
The governor also vetoed a bill that would have required the Department of Correctional Services to study how many beds in the prison system were double-bunked. The state's website still hasn't updated with the veto message, and the dental work required to get an answer out of the governor's office might take me a little bit more time than I have, so I might have to employ the "no comment" button here a few times.
Mrs. Ritchie was a sponsor of the prison bill. Her staff hasn't gotten back to me yet on that one.

When it comes to remodeling your home, and especially your bathroom, there are so many different options and designs to choose from that it can seem overwhelming. The floating bathroom vanity is one of the many options that you have to look at when considering how you want your bathroom to be.

Grab Bars for Your Bathroom
As we get older, we want to maintain our independence. Many people dread becoming a senior citizen because they are afraid that they will have to move out of their own home and into a nursing home where they will be cared for all the time. This takes away from independence significantly, but there are things that can be done within a home to help you stay at home longer. Elderly people and those with special needs are most commonly known for slipping in the bathroom, either when bathing, showering or using the toilet but by installing grab bars, you can prevent injury by universal design. Grab bars are easy to install, convenient and can protect your safety in a handicap accessible bathroom.
Master Bathroom Becomes Bigger and BetterThis entry was posted in Bathrooms, Jason Parsons, Neil Parsons, Remodeling Project Design, Remodeling Project Photos and tagged bathroom remodeling, CAD, Design Build Pros, Design Build Remodeling, Jason Parsons, master bathroom, Neil Parsons, proskill construction, shower, tile, universal design on .
This Somerset County, New Jersey project request was to remodel the master bathroom that had not been used in years because of the small size and awful condition. The homeowners required a larger shower, grab bars and more overall space. To achieve this, an adjacent closet space was included making the bathroom 32% larger.

Having turned 50 this year, I have received much mail regarding membership to the AARP (American Association of Retired Person). Even though I am far from being ready for retirement, being AARP eligible is an indicator of aging, at least for me, similar to gray hair and weaker eye sight. Getting older is a fact of life and ignoring the reality does not make it go away.
On a similar note, most homeowners do not like to discuss universal design options during the onset of a design and build remodeling project. For those unfamiliar with the term universal design, it broadly refers to construction components that allow for easier use and access for people of various ages, sizes, and physical condition. Aging in place is an associated term that refers to planning and building in components that may not be required presently but possibly will be needed or welcomed in the future. Continue reading
Bathroom Shower DoorsThis entry was posted in Bathrooms, Jason Parsons, Neil Parsons, Remodeling Project Photos and tagged aging-in-place, bathroom, mater bathroom, shower door, spa style bathroom, tile, universal design on .
Regarding bathroom shower doors, for years the choices have been "framed or frameless?" and "sliding or hinged?"
Now, with some new over sized spa-like bathrooms, a new shower door question has risen: "door or no door?"
Enjoy these photos from Houzz.com. They show many possibilities. Some are designed for personal convenience through Universal Design. Others are designed for a desired look and feel. Continue reading

Homeowners personalize their home rather than move;
Design Build Pros reveal new trend during National Home Improvement Month.
Toms River, New Jersey, May 1st, 2012—In honor of National Home Improvement Month this May, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) reveals that homeowners are personalizing their space during a remodel as the tough housing market forces more people to stay, rather than move.
According to a poll on NARI.org, 26 percent of respondents are planning to stay an additional 16 to 20 years in their homes because their home values have decreased during the recession. Twenty-three percent reported they are going to stay an additional six to 10 years in their homes. Continue reading

A popular remodeling project that the Design Build Pros are often requested to design is what we refer to as a "Lifestyle Suite". What was once called an "in-law suite" now offers much more as far as flexibility of use presently and in the future.
Our Lifestyle Suite addition begins with a bedroom, closet and bathroom. From there, we typically add a sitting/TV/family room for personal use or entertaining. Then a wet bar or kitchenette is incorporated to complete a studio residence attached to any style home. Add a separate entry to create privacy or solitude, but then pass back through to the main house for family mingling. Continue reading

Conversation Between Arma and deathbymanga
Showing Visitor Messages 16 to 28 of 28
March 7th, 2013 10:32 AMArmaYeah, the old plot really didn't fit the game, that's why I decided to scrap it.
Ah ok, I didn't know that, I just balanced out my own in-game economy. XD
March 7th, 2013 10:00 AMdeathbymangaI read your plot. it seems a tad dark for a Pokemon game. And not in the, realistic dark either, more the, let's make Pokemon sad and depressing.
Also, people seem to be a little confused about Poke-yen. Poke-yen was based off of the actual Yen, meaning that 300 yen is just 3 dollars.
March 7th, 2013 1:17 AMArmaI'll send you the design doc later, You can help me out by filling in some plot holes, giving some feedback and ideas.
March 6th, 2013 5:38 PMdeathbymangawell, what do you want me to do to help?
March 6th, 2013 5:35 PMArmaWow that surely was original, you should hold on to that idea till got thw skills to start on yournown game.
Sadly though I already have the main character's tale planned out a bit. I'll send you the files tomorrow (im on my phone now and its really late here) the bulbasaur idea is really cool too, you won't get him as a starter though. He's obtainable in an early exploration quest where you have to locate the hidden gardens.
I was thinking about new field moves as well, problem is, they're kinda hard to implement XD.
Anyway, I have an old game thread up, its called fiesta meets freedom. This game is based on that one.
March 6th, 2013 5:21 PMdeathbymangaalright, that sounds like fun. a more Zelda esque game then.
I don't exactly know much about what you what to do with it, but I like it. Maybe the main character could have a Bulbasaur and use its Vines to traverse difficult regions, use Razor Leaf to carve paths away, and such. Maybe the player could be a wild human raised by Pokemon (And can talk to them) on an Island, but he soon discovers Human trainers coming to the island. He is picked up by a Proffessor studying the island, and takes him back to the main land.
Sorry if I'm out of line. I'm just giving my two cents. What do you want me to do?
March 6th, 2013 5:14 PMArmaSweet! It's a Pokemon game alright. XD it doesn't really have a deep and important ot. It's about a group of friends whi dream of glory. (Working title is Pokemon: Dreams of Glory) it differs from the canon gamesbbecause there isn't an evil team ( I've about had it with those). Plus the world is made more interactive like gym leaders occasionally crossing your path, challenging you, giving you quests or teaching you new field moves. The game mainly focuses around questing.
March 6th, 2013 5:05 PMdeathbymangaSURE! What is the plot of it? I'm guessing that it is a Pokemon themed one, right?
March 6th, 2013 5:03 PMArmaWhahaha it's a dream of mine to work for gamefreak as well XD.
Don't worry about not having any experience, we all had to start somewhere I'm working on my own fangame (there isn't a thread yet) if you're willing to help and learn a bit about developing, you're more than welcome to join me.
March 6th, 2013 4:57 PMdeathbymangaActually, I am. My dream job is to work either for Game Freak, designing Pokemon, or to work for TOSE. Sadly though, I doubt that either of these companies will hire me.
I sadly Don't have any experience in developing games myself.
March 6th, 2013 4:49 PMArmaNo need to apologize man thats usually my job XD
Anyway welcome to the forums! /late
Are you interested in game development?
March 6th, 2013 4:40 PMdeathbymangahey, sorry for missing it, i just joined and i'm not quite aware of everything yet.
March 6th, 2013 4:24 PMArmaHey I just saw you're reaction on being told to use google when you asked about pokemon essentials. Claiming you'd rather used your head 'stead of a tool, you seemed to have missed out on an entire sub-forum beig dedicated to it
Using Google was suggested because we get that same question quite often.
Don't take this as offense though. I hope you check out essentials, it's really helpful when you're planning on making a pokemon game

Only 1 in 10 children with cancer get complete treatment in India: Report
At least 10-12 children per 10,000 population will develop cancer in India annually. Out of 60,000 children afflicted with this disease, only one out of 10 receives complete therapy. According to researchers with the new Lancet Oncology series published on Tuesday, the burden is likely to increase if cases are not detected early.
Even as the new series has sent messages to various governments to develop strategies for childhood cancer, for the first time the National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research in Bangalore will come out with a report on the incidence of different types of childhood cancers in India. Dr A Nandakumar, director in charge of the centre, said that leukaemias, lymphomas and retinoblastomas are very common in India.
In a global effort to prevent, cure and control cancer, the specific needs of children and young people with cancer are often overlooked, perhaps because they represent less than two per cent of the global cancer burden.
Kathy Pritchard-Jones, Professor of Paediatric Oncology, UCL Institute of Child Health, London, and one of the key researchers of the Lancet Oncology series told The Indian Express that there were important messages for governments in developing their strategies for childhood cancer.
"Paediatric haemato-oncologists in India have organised themselves well in the last decade, rolling out a national training programme for health professionals in general paediatrics," said Pritchard Jones. Twinning programmes which allow you to partly study in one's country and partly at a foreign institution need to be encouraged, she added.
Lack of complete therapy for children is mainly due to poor supportive care and inadequate infrastructure, said one of the Indian researchers, Dr Bharat Agarwal, head of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology department, B J Wadia Hospital for Children, Mumbai, and former secretary general of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology.

Ranpo Kitan: Game Of Laplace – Review
The series itself delivers the best summary for how little it actually has achieved with its story: First it throws around big words and then what you get to see is such a basic and simplistic story that you can't help but feel disappointed.
In the beginning I absolutely hated this series. I hated it, simple as that. The mysteries were shoddily implemented, the characters barely registered as people and the overall story had some eyebrow-raising issues. What the series has become after that is worse and better at the same time. For one, I feel like the Twenty-Faces-thingy was a good choice for a mystery-series-gimmick and using a Laplace's demon to basically create a urban folktale people would use as a mask (and excuse) to exact revenge was also intriguing. I don't know if some studio or producer has forced the writers and directors of this series to fuck this all up or if the creators themselves had some misguided ideas about what they ended up saying with this series but what this series ends up offering is such an extremist, prejudiced perspective that I shudder to think of a person who would look at this and think it's smart.
Rokka no Yuusha – Review
I really question how these Braves got chosen when a creepy kid like her gets to be one…
I know, I know, it has been a while… But this season I really didn't have a series that I had any strong desire to review weekly. But I really got into J-Drama in the meantime. So far I've watched these: Hanzawa Naoki, Roosevelt Game, Galileo (just the first season so far), Tokyo Dogs, Hard Nut, Kagi no Kakatta Heya, Border, Kurosagi. Granted most of these are Mystery-series as that's what I like to watch that genre and my personal favorite so far has been Border (the mysteries aren't the most compelling thing ever but boy if that story doesn't take some VERY interesting turns and the ending was a real "Holy shit! They really went there…!"-moment for me). But back to anime. Well, I will continue to blog Aquarion Logos (or maybe not… so far it's worth a yawn and not much more) and God Eater, I guess (it has gotten better actually, I would say, as it has become clear what it's trying to do). And the new season will start soon, so I hope something will air that catches my interest. And now for one of my personal favorites of this Summer-Season: Rokka no Yuusha – the high-fantasy-series that spent most of its season just dealing with a locked-room-mystery.
Ranpo Kitan: Game Of Laplace – 06/07 Review
Well, technically there's a lot of surprising stuff to unravel in this "surprise-party" but how serious of a series is this anyway, if situations like this one can be part of its plot-line…?
Ranpo Kitan 06/07; First, the bunch of sociopaths have to deal with a cat, a bomb and a baby and then terrorists are present, too, for some reason. But it all resolves itself luckily without any incident and we've all learned about why the devil is in the details. The seventh episode returns to another murder of other despicable people and this time around it's a locked-room-mystery.
Ranpo Kitan: Game Of Laplace 05 – Review
You heard it here first: There's a 50/50-chance of getting away with murder in Japan!
This time I review:
Ranpo Kitan 05: Get this: You kill someone, rape someone and steal from them (not necessarily in that order) and then you get caught by the police. But it isn't a big deal, you know? You can just claim to be crazy and you're right back on the streets within hours. Dealing with crazy criminals is such a hassle for Japan that the police just don't bother doing that (if this series can be believed). In a world where there's a prison for super-villains basically, criminals have a get-out-of-jail-freecard by claiming they're insane (which they are but not enough to make an insanity-defense work under realistic circumstances).
Review-Roundup: Aquarion Logos 04, God Eater 03, Ranpo Kitan 04
Sure, bad puns are one way to deal with high-concept story-ideas…
This time I review:
Aquarion Logos 04: Love is in the air! Obviously the upcoming Tanabata-festival is a big chance for the shy girl to confess to the dude who considers himself to be the savior of the world. And… that doesn't go anywhere really. Instead we deal with three people finding out that synchronizing with three people for an Aquarion-gattai-formation feels MUCH better than doing it with two persons. And shy-girl confesses… that she has a traumatic past she now has managed to overcome somewhat! Truly, it's exactly what you would call a victory for love!
God Eater 03: There's a special kind of Newbie on a plane. She's surrounded by monsters. Newbie-dude and two veterans come to her rescue. Things work out in the end. … The End.
Ranpo Kitan 04: Someone who calls himself Twenty Faces has been killing off criminals which haven't landed in prison or exited it early for some reason. The best solution genius-kid and girly-boy come up with is to just release a very evil criminal as bait. Turns out when you secretly help an evil criminal to avoid prison, some vigilante-like killer shows up! And after the killer who tried to kill the dude from the last episode gets revealed we're supposedly very anxious to hear his excuses for the whole thing.
Review-Roundup: God Eater 02, Akagami no Shirayukihime 01-03, Rokka no Yuusha 01-03
Yeah, audience, GOT IT?! We all need to know, of course, what buttons need to be pressed for rapid-fire! Maybe the next time someone uses a coffee-machine or a copy-machine in an anime, someone should go into detail about what buttons to push in what order to make the damn thing work…
This time I review:
God Eater 02: The fight continues – but the new guy with his special Newtype-abilities fucks up. Naturally he lands in a cell and it takes a LOT of talking for the authority-figures to understand what kind of peanutbrain the main-character truly is. And just as it obviously becomes clear that they can't let a potential fighter sit around in a cell when they desperately need one, the episode already ends… What a cliffhanger!
Akagami no Shirayukihime 01-03: Girl with red hair (!) has trouble with a prince. Another prince rescues her. And then she gets into even more trouble – which she also gets rescued again from by that second prince… It's all very romantic and innocent.
Rokka no Yuusha 01-03: The world's about to end – again. And six heroes must kill the ultimate evil – again. But nothing's ever as simple as it seems, is it?
Aquarion Logos – 03 Review
And risking her life in mecha-battles against evil word-monsters will definitely bring her one step closer to achieving that goal!
This time I review:
Aquarion Logos 03: The idol-business, as it turns out, isn't all it's cracked up to be – especially if your resume ends with you barely having left kindergarten. Karan is one such girl and her mother is the kind of dragon you definitely don't want to have for your childhood-experience. But thanks to a supernatural catastrophe the mother realizes just how much of an asshole she has been to her daughter and Karan can forgive her for being an asshole (seems like kindergarten teaches kids a lot about adult-regrets these days). Also, Maia establishes her tsundere-position and gets lost in the city…
Ranpo Kitan: Game Of Laplace – 03 Review
That's one of the good guys. You know, being into little girls as a middle-aged man… turns out it's not THAT weird apparently!
This time I review:
Ranpo Kitan 03: Someone who weirdly sounds like a child-molester gets falsely accused in a case of various girls having gone missing. Girly Boy is right there to help him clear his name and find the most recent girl Shadow-Man had gotten close to. Also, the kidnapper wanted to bang the Girly Boy – but that's par of the course at this point, I guess.
Review-Roundup: God Eater 01, Aquarion Logos 02, Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu 12-15
This is where the anti-hero needlessly tries to convince himself (and us) that beneath this angsty and angry façade isn't a heart of gold.
This time I review:
God Eater 01: Another mopy teenager in another post-apocalyptic world that can't get its shit together! Luckily said angsty teenager will save them all… at his own pace naturally.
Aquarion Logos 02: Do words even matter? What do we have to tell each other that a bunch of mechas or weirdly characterized cleaning-ladies can't convey without a lot of words? Look at it that way: You need one word to pilot a mecha but how many words does it take to order a coffee at Starbucks…?! Really makes you think, doesn't it?
