Three common cloud services are Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)—collectively known as (SPIaaS)—but more and more vendors are coming up with new ways of delivering traditional services via the cloud. These creative approaches have led to the concept of "anything" as a Service" or X-as-a-Service (XaaS), where the X represents an unknown value, just like it did in your middle school algebra classes.

Verified Buyer Reviewed by Trailrunner from Opelika AL on Saturday, April 18, 2015Make sure and read the size chart. I always wear a large but checked the chart and XL is what it said to get. The XL fits beautifully. Very well made and comfortable even on a hot day. Great product as always from IceBreaker.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by SCskibum from South Carolina on Monday, March 2, 2015My wife and kids now think I have an unhealthy addiction to merino wool. I've bought so many merino wool items recently from STP for myself and the family as well. These Icebreaker shirts are simply excellent! It amazes me that so much warmth can be retained in such a small amount of material, but on he same hand seem to never make you hot......more like a body temp regulator instead of something strictly for warmth.
The other amazing feature of merino wool is the no odor, and believe me I've put that to the test. I work from home and can go days without seeing anyone but my family. I typically just put on one of my IB shirts and then another shirt on top. I've gone almost a week in the same IB shirt and there is no stink, not exaggerating.
Like all the IB items I own, these shirts are well made and good quality. I've got some other IB short and long sleeve base layer shirts which seem a little looser than this shirt even though sized the same. I am sure this shirt is designed to fit differently, hence it having a different name. This shirt is not nearly as snug as the IB Anatomica, which I returned because I wanted something a little less snug. This shirt's material also seems just slightly thicker than my 200 base layer IB shirts.
Highly recommend!!

On sale, buy as many as you can. I'm 6' 0" talk. The large is perfect.
When sweating, this shirt doesn't get as heavy with perspiration as other merino tees.
Fitted, but not as tight as the previous IceBreaker tees were.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by luv STP from Cincinnati on Thursday, November 6, 2014the quality of the Oasis T is geat but the cut didn't work for my boyfriend. Way too long in the torso (over his hips) and he didn't care for the length of the sleeves. Would be perfect for the taller, athletic guy becuase normally it's "big and tall" sizing, whereas this is just "tall". Even though the length is long it's still a slender fit. Sadly had to return.

Supporting downtown
Saturday Old Town Cape's annual Charles L. Hutson Auction will be held at 5 p.m. at the Southeast Missouri State University River Campus.
Following this year's auction -- which includes a cocktail reception, food being provided by several downtown restaurants -- will be a benefit concert by Straight No Chaser, an a cappella group from Indiana University.
Proceeds from the auction and concert will help cover Old Town Cape's operating costs, which in turn aids in the continued revitalization of downtown Cape Girardeau.
Also noteworthy is the person for whom the auction is named: Charles L. Hutson. Hutson -- who passed away in 2003 -- was a leading businessman, active member of the community and a strong advocate to keep downtown Cape Girardeau a vibrant business district. His legacy continues through events like the Old Town Cape auction as well as through his wife, Judi, and sons, Chris and Dave, who manage the family furniture store in downtown Cape Girardeau. Additionally, the chairwoman of the auction again this year is Jerra Hutson, Charles' daughter-in-law.
If you would like to support Old Town Cape by attending the auction, concert or both, we would encourage you to purchase tickets ahead of time. Tickets for the reception, auction, preferred concert seating and a VIP meet-and-greet following the show are $45. To purchase these tickets, which are limited, you may call Old Town Cape at 334-8085. Concert only tickets start at $15 and may be purchased through the River Campus box office at 651-2265.

Discussion in 'General Baptist Discussions' started by PastorSBC1303, Sep 15, 2006.
The Problem of Preaching to Felt Needs
That is a message all of us in ministry need to listen to.
We need to move back to preaching :jesus:, and His death, burial, and His ressurection.
And telling people how to be saved.
I agree. But we also need to tell them how the Bible says they are to live once they're saved. So many "church folk" are ignorant when it comes to knowing how their faith in Christ sould affect their lives.
The Creator of the universe doesn't take up residencey in someone's life without changing things!
I was just doing some work around the place and God laid on my heart how one of our church problems is that we are ignorant of a common definition of what sin is.
I honestly think we have been so long without preaching on sin (as a church culture) that many people do not have the same definitions any more.
We no longer feel the necessity for brokenness before God for offending Him. I think I am preaching again - God bless.
A lot of churches think that a church will grow if the preacher preaches to felt needs. Imagine what school would be like if the teacher taught classes according to the felt needs of the students. That is what so often happens when parents become the experts and badger the schol board and teachers instead of disciplining their children to study.
I don't think a Pastor should preach on felt needs. On the other hand, I believe the Pastor, Deacons, and other strong Christians in the church should deal with these one on one. A minister answered my question about the best way to go about evangelism one time by saying that the Church needs to let the community know that they love them. This is probable even more true within the congregation.
When I had a somewhat serious heart operation two years ago the Pastor, Deacons and others visited me in the hospital. But what struck me more (because you expect the Pastor to visit with you in the hospital) was the fact that the women of the church brought food for me for the 7 weeks I was convalesing at home. My personal experience was that I had perhaps never experienced what the early church was like more than then.
I have a good friend in the church who is disabled. He was in my Sunday School class along with another guy who had problems with divorce, losing his job, etc. I used to meet him down by the river and try to help him figure things out. I give my disabled friend money from time to time and try to supportive with him as well. I felt myself drawn to these two guys because I saw that they might be the neediest people in the church. Then, when I lost my job the tables turned. They helped me keep optimistic about things in general.
I never feel as close to the Lord as when I get involved in these kind of personal "missions."
Personally, I think Dr. Mohler is completely out of touch on this as he is on most other things. He says:
Now, if you're a pastor in Honduras, it might be okay to define your ministry as meeting needs, because more people in Honduras have interesting biblical needs – food, clothing, housing. But most people in the churches I know get those needs met without prayer.
I could take him less than 10 miles away from the SBTS and show him a lot of people in dire need. No, not of "orgasm, a satisfying career, an enjoyable love life, a positive outlook on life, and stuff the Bible has absolutely no interest in."
The guy just doesn't care about people. He cares about power, politics, and theology.
Do you know Dr. Mohler at all? Have you ever talked with him? What do you base this perspective on?
StraightAndNarrow, I'm afraid you let your distrust of Al Mohler get in your way in your response to his message. First, it was not Mohler per se who spoke of serving in Honduras; it was William Willimon. Mohler quoted him, but that does not mean that his views are limited to Willimon's, which I read as an attempt to be colorful and to overstate the point in order to get the reader's attention. Second, I am sure that both Willimon and Mohler know that there are poor people in every U. S. city and that one does not have to go to Honduras to find them; their point is that when it comes to preaching -- not service, but preaching -- you might reach those folks by preaching about what they feel they need (or better, you may not reach them unless and until you demonstrate that you care about their needs). Both are saying that in middle and upper middle class America, people think their "needs" are for self-satisfying and ultimately self-centered esoteric things.
I am not a Mohler fan either, but am glad that he recognized a nugget of truth in somebody whose perspective is really quite different from his. Willimon is always provocative; one wonders how he made it into the hierarchy of the United Methodist Church. I cannot think of Baptist state executives who are as interesting as he is!
I'll be that guy I guess because I see nothing wrong with preaching to felt needs and actually think that we need to do more of it in our churches.
You preach (big group) to the meet the needs of your hearers...you teach (small groups) to feed the need for spiritual development.
Is it about growing big churches? Is it about trying to get away from the biblical text? not at all. One thing to point out is that the church where I get to serve we preach to felt needs and teach for spiritual development, yet in each we unashamedly present the Gospel as the final (or maybe for some) the first place to get your true needs met.
One big difference to note is that we don't approach proclamation like the Osteens (whose church is pictured in the article.) Our pastor is dedicated to excellence in proclamation and in preaching to meet the real needs of people in our congregation.
On that note I want to disagree with Dr. Mohler's first point. Walk into our church, or your church, and ask people what their problems, difficulties, and life issues are and they'll have absolutely no problem listing about five (if not more) major things they struggle with daily. We certainly know what our needs in this life are, and so long as we faithfully proclaim Christ, who cares if we don't give a three point alliterated sermon on the doctrine of secondary separation and why the catholic church is the wrong church. If we can't get people beyond our churchianity we it much harder to bring them towards a relationship with Christ.
Not every sermon should be an solely evangelistic sermon, but every sermon should have the Gospel of Christ presented. In preaching to meet real life needs we always present the truth and authenticity of Christ. We believe that if we are going to impact people and begin to move them from obersever to participant we need to bring them life lesson rooted in the Word with salvation as the source of hope. If we really believe the Holy Spirit is the principle inspirer to prod the lost towards conversion then there should be nothing wrong with preaching as we feel led so long as we speak the truth in love and tendered with the beauty of the Gospel.
Granted most people in here (Dr. Mohler included) don't agree with the Purpose Driven way of doing church business nor do they care much for seeker driven services. While I have no desire to justify our (and my) philosophies and convictions on this...we choose to work this way out of a conviction for reaching the lost in a particular way, yet you will never hear a sermon or a lick of teaching against the more traditional models out there. Why is it I go into more traditional model churches and hear venom against our approach? I'm just very befuddled by this.
Anyhoo, I believe preaching to felt needs drives people towards realizing their God given giftedness and God ordained place in Christ. We preach for real life needs because that will spur people towards seeing Christ as the One person who can meet all their needs. It's not popular...in Christendom...but it sure is meeting the needs of prostitutes, pimps, and pagans who wander into our church for a glimpse of hope.
Let me also add that I appreciate and deeply respect Dr. Mohler. While I find myself disagreeing with him on a growing number of issues I cannot help but give a moment of tribute to his service for the Kingdom.
Just a couple questions/thoughts for discussion:
1. Is there an example of a "felt needs" sermon in Scripture that we can look at?
2. If Joe and Sally are in your congregation and are dealing with marriage problems, and Ben and Mary are dealing with rebellious teenagers and Jim and Lori are having financial problems, how can the pastor even attempt to meet all of these "felt needs" in one message? Is it even possible? The majority of people are going to leave feeling their "needs" were not met, right?
3. Is felt needs preaching more man-centered than God-centered?
The only time I could see preaching to "felt" needs would be if a tragedy occured that involved the whole church... Like an unexpected death of a prominent member, and the whole church is mourning...
But I'm not sure that is a "felt" need... That is the pastor using his gift of shepharding. It would be a real need...
When a church has been through a church split it may be necessary to preach about forgiveness, and moving forward. But again, those are not "felt" needs, those are real needs.
Right now our church needs sermons that go back to the basics.
When you use a quote to support your position you indicate you support the position of the person you're quoting.
I know what he's said publically. Do you know him personally? My twin brother was at SBTS when Mohler was president. Were you there under Mohler?
I was just wondering if this statement is a quote? Seems like you might want to sign it or something. :smilewinkgrin:
I am currently a doctoral student at SBTS. I would not say I know Dr. Mohler personally at all. I have had the chance to talk to him, and I found him to be extremely gracious and very interested in people.
I have read just about everything Dr. Mohler has written. I would love to see some quotes/articles by Mohler in support of your statements.
Tim, we just had this happen with the death of our Pastor Emeritus. BUT the sermon was still drenched in scripture as we looked at the role of pastors. So in this case, the felt need and the real need were the same.
But you said "He says:", as if it were Dr. Mohler who said it, and it was not Dr. Mohler who said it. You were either careless or dishonest. I think you were just careless but we all ought to be careful about this kind of thing.
Surely you don't think really Dr. Mohler is against preparing food for people recuperating from surgery or helping those who are going through a divorce or helping a disabled friend? What does doing any of that have to do with what we ought to preach? I don't see the connection.
No, just a wise saying.
The quote in question is a good example.
"Now, if you're a pastor in Honduras, it might be okay to define your ministry as meeting needs, because more people in Honduras have interesting biblical needs – food, clothing, housing. But most people in the churches I know get those needs met without prayer."
You don't have to be in Honduras to have serious basic needs. I suggest that he needs to drive west on Broadway into the west end of Louisville to find out if there are any people out there that have needs other than "orgasm, a satisfying career, an enjoyable love life, a positive outlook on life, and stuff the Bible has absolutely no interest in." I think this statement demonstrates that he doesn't care anything about poor people in his own back yard.

Samsung Release SM2253BW With 8000:1 Dynamic
Contrast Ratio
Samsung have released details of their new 2253BW 22" display on their official website recently. The new screen will offer the usual 1680 x 1050 resolution you would expect in this sector, along with a 2ms G2G response time (5ms ISO), 8000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (1000:1 static), 300 cd/m2 brightness and 170/160 viewing angles. The panel is of course TN Film based.
The screen will offer DVI-D (HDCP supported) and D-sub interfaces along with tilt and swivel ergonomic adjustments. Release date and price are unknown at this point, but it looks likely to be the replacement for the popular SM226BW.

Dell 2408WFP Now Available in the UK
We discussed the release of the new screen back in January and the full spec is listed in our previous article. As a further note, Dell have also recently confirmed that the screen is indeed S-PVA based as we originally thought, dispelling rumours that it could feature and S-IPS panel.
LG.Philips LCD To Become LG Display
This week LG.Philips LCD, the panel manufacturer, announced that it plans to change its corporate name to LG Display upon receiving approval at the company's annual general meeting of shareholders on February 29. The new corporate name reflects the company's business scope expansion and business model diversification, the change in corporate governance following the reduction of Philips' equity stake, and LG's commitment to enhanced responsible management.
LG.Philips LCD completed preparations for the name change after the board resolution at the board of directors' meeting on February 4. Once the change is approved at the annual general meeting on February 29, LG.Philips LCD will register the new company name on March 3. The official new trade name is expected to be LG Display Co., Ltd, and the company will use the trademark of LG Display. The entire process of changing the company name is expected to be completed by the end of June 2008.

Iiyama Release Low Cost E2403WS 24" Display
Iiyama have recently announced the release of a new 24" model in their range, the E2403WS. The screen will come at a very nice £249 RRP in the UK, making it well worth a look for a 24" screen. The spec and details remain the same as the B2403WS model, but without a height adjustable stand. This means the new E model will offer a 1920 x 1200 resolution, 2ms G2G response time, 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness and 170/160 viewing angles. The screen is characteristically TN Film based, especially when you factor in the low price. The screen does however offer a D-sub and HDMI interface along with 2x 2W speakers and tilt functionality.
LG W2452V - 24" Monitor With 10,000:1 Dynamic Contrast
It seems LG will soon be releasing a new 24" monitor in their range, with an impressive 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The W2452V will also offer the usual 1920 x 1200 resolution, along with a 5ms ISO response time and 170/170 viewing angles. The panel is characteristically TN Film. The screen also offers tilt and rotate ergonomic adjustments, intergrated 2x 2W speakers, and an HDMI, DVI-D (both HDCP supported) and a D-sub interface. The price and release date are unknown at present, but the screen is expected to be shown at CEBIT 08 in March.

NEC Release Further Details For the LCD3090WQXi
A couple of weeks ago we reported that NEC were releasing a new 30"WS monitor into their 90-series of screens. At the time, the spec of the panel was not listed, but NEC have now released further information on their website, allowing us to update you on the new model.
The 3090WQXi offers a 6ms G2G response time (12ms ISO), 1000:1 contrast ratio, 350 cd/m2 brightness and 178/178 viewing angles. Further details can be found on the link below. Retail price is still listed as $2199 USD.

Samsung Release New Panel Specs
Samsung have updated their panel module product pages to include several new parts. Perhaps most interesting is the addition of a 22" S-PVA panel, the LTM220M3 and a high resolution 23" module, the LTM230TT01. There is also a 24" (LTM240CS02), and 30" (LTM300DS) module which looks like they will include LED backlighting to offer a 111% coverage of the NTSC colour space.
Full specs for the new modules can be seen below, and are updated in our panel part database
Eizo Showcase CG222W Display With Hardware
Eizo have announced a new 22" monitor in their ColorEdge series of screens, the CG222W. This model is being showcased at the PMA (Photo Marketing Association) 2008 event being held in Las Vegas from 31st Jan - 2nd Feb. The CG222W will offer an extended colour gamut and 12-bit hardware calibration, targetting the screen at high-end graphics and photo work.
The screen will offer the usual 1680 x 1050 resolution, along with 1000:1 contrast ratio, 250 cd/m2 brightness and 178/178 viewing angles. Looks like this could well be another VA based screen in the 22" market, and certainly wise of Eizo to avoid TN Film given the target audience! The extended gamut covers 98% of the sRGB space and 93% of the Adobe RGB space. The screen comes packaged with Eizo's ColorNavigator software and can be combined with a variety of colorimeters. Since the screen features hardware level calibration, the adjustments are made at a monitor LUT level for the most accurate results. Interestingly the screen also comes with a factory calibrated gamma curve of 2.2 and DeltaE of < 3 across the screen which is nice to see. Height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustments are offered ergonomically, along with a DVI-I interface with HDCP support.
Mass production is scheduled for late March.

Samsung SM2693HM and 2493HM Monitors Showcased
At this week's MacWorld event Samsung have shown off two new monitors, a 24" SM2493HM and a 26" (well, 25.5" technically) SM2693HM. Both screens feature tilt, pivot, height and rotate ergonomic adjustments and offer a 1920 x 1200 resolution, 5ms response time, 1000:1 static contrast ratio, 400 cd/m2 brightness and 160/160 viewing angles. Both models feature VGA, DVI and HDMI interface options. The 24" model even offers an impressive 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio while the 26" model offers a more modest 3000:1. Both models are evidently TN Film based.
Samsung's press release states that: "Featuring full 1080p HD resolution, HDMI inputs, and built-in multimedia speakers, these monitors are comprehensive entertainment solutions for consumers looking for superior image quality and next-generation audiovisual input while listening to music, gaming, or watching movies on their computer monitor. The built-in multimedia speakers also allow end-users to seamlessly participate in teleconferences or listen to videos and audio presentations without the need to incur the cost of acquiring separate speakers."
The 2493HM monitor is currently available for an MSRP of $599, while the 2693HM monitor is available for $699 MSRP, and both are listed on Samsung's product pages now.

More Dell 2408WFP Info Released!
As we reported earlier in the week, the Dell 2408WFP release seems to be imminent! Earlier today Dell had released the manual online in their support sections, but it has since been removed probably because it was an inadvertant early leak. However, users of our forum were quick to report features of the new screen.
The 2408WFP will feature a DisplayPort interface as many have expected, and in keeping with the recently released 3008WFP model. There will also be VGA, DVI-D, S-Video, Composite, Component and HDMI available. The screen will also offer the usual 1920 x 1200 resolution for a 24"WS monitor, and also a 6ms G2G response time, 1300:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m2 brightness and 178/178 viewing angles. The backlighting will feature a 7 CCFL U-type system capable of offering a gamut covering 102% of the NTSC colour space, an improvement even over the Dell 2407WFP-HC (92%).
As you can see from the image above, the design seems to have been kept the same as the 2407WFP models. The screen could be selected through Dell's online store as well as the screen capture above shows. Keep an eye on the support sections of Dell's site for the manual if you are interested.
update: It seems the price in the US will be $699, which includes a 3 yr warranty, or $748 for a 5 yr warranty package.
NEC LCD3090WQXi - A New 30" Monitor Released
NEC have this week announced the release of their new 3090WQXi display, which delivers innovative display performance for users in the graphic design, photography, print production, and CAD/CAM industries. The LCD3090WQXi display was seen at the 2008 Macworld Conference and Expo this week and through to January 18th at The Moscone Center in San Francisco. The screen forms part of their 90 series of screens and offers a 2560 x 1600 resolution. While the rest of the spec is not listed at this time, we do know that the panel will be IPS based. The DVI interface also features HDCP support, and ergonomically the screen offers pivot, rotate, height and tilt adjustments.
The screen also features ColorComp which reduces LCD uniformity errors, and compensates for differences in color/grayscale and luminance. Along with this, the display also features NEC's X-Light Pro, AmbiBright and CableComp technologies. The backlighting used offers a gamut covering 102% of the NTSC colour space, and this is combined with a 12-bit internal LUT.
"This newest 90-Series display delivers the color-performance benefits that high-end professionals have come to expect and require from NEC," said Stan Swiderski, Product Manager for NEC Display Solutions. " Whether in pre- or post-production photography, digital animation, CAD/CAM design, or even soft-copy clinical viewing in the medical field, the MultiSync LCD3090WQXi arms end-users with sophisticated features and advanced functionality in order to deliver optimal output performance."
The LCD3090WQXi is available for February 2008 shipment with an estimated street price of $2,199.99.

Is The Dell 2408WFP On The Way?!
While there is no official information available yet for an update of the popular Dell 2407WFP models, the rumour-mill has been running overtime in recent months, especially with the refresh of the 20, 22 and 30" range. With models like the SP2208WFP and 3008WFP emerging in recent months, it looks likely that we will see an update of the 24" model as well. With all the ghosting issues with the HighColor version of the 2407WFP, it seems many people are hoping a newer model will be more favourable. The 2407WFP original edition is no longer available to buy, and many users have reported that the 2407WFP-HC has disappeared from Dell's product line.
There has also been a recent clue that a 2408WFP model is hopefully on it's way. The Dell support pages have listed a device driver for the 2408WFP display! (see screen shot above). We don't know if there will be a new model any time soon, and what specs and features are to be expected. More details as and when they become available.

Viewsonic Launch New 26" VX2640w and VP2650wb
Viewsonic have launched a couple of new 26" sized monitors in their popular VX and VP ranges. The VX2640w offers an impressive spec as well, and in a relatively uncommon sector. The display offers a 1920 x 1200 resolution, 3ms G2G response time (5ms ISO), 1000:1 contrast ratio (4000:1 dynamic), 400 cd/m2 brightness and 160/160 viewing angles.

Viewsonic Shows Off 22" LED Display at CES 2008
The VLED221wm was shown at this years CES event and certainly offers some impressive specs. The screen will offer the usual 1680 x 1050 resolution and 5ms response time you might expect in the 22" market. However, the screen features an LED backlit unit offering a reported 12000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 118% coverage of the NTSC colour space.
"ViewSonic has a long-standing reputation for delivering leading-edge
technologies that shatter industry standards," said
The VLED221wm comes with a pixel quality guarantee that exceeds the International Organization of Standardization's requirements for consumer protection. ViewSonic promises immediate replacement if the display has three sub-pixels locked in the on/off position, or if there is any combination of four defective pixels.

The expected retail price is $799, and it is expected to be available next month.
Viewsonic Release New VX1962wm and VX2262wm Monitors
At CES 2008, Viewsonic have shown their new 19" and 22" models in their VX 62 range. The screens come in an attractive glossy black design and feature "invisible speakers" for a pleasing appearance. The sound is further enhanced by SRS WOW HD software, which is activated by installing SRS Audio Soundbox (SAS) that comes with the monitors. This enhancement extends the frequency range of the speakers and allows for better response and sound performance, which will compliment the multimedia features in the displays.
Back in September we discussed the VX1940wm screen which was one of the first screens to feature a 1680 x 1050 resolution from a 19" screen size. The new VX1962wm features this same technology, along with a 2ms G2G response time and 6000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The 22"WS VX2262wm offers the same 1680 x 1050 resolution, along with 2ms G2G response time, 6000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 300 cd/m2 brightness.
The ViewSonic VX1962wm will be available in February for the estimated street price of $269 and the VX2262wm will be available in April for $369 ESP.
Dell Showcase Crystal Widescreen Monitor Design
It was back in May 2007 that we first discussed the release of a new ultra-thin design from Dell. Now, finally Dell have officially released details of the new "Crystal Widescreen" model which will be on show at CES 08. The new 22" sized screen will be crafted from a premium-grade 4mm ultra-clear tempered glass and will also incorporate a 2MP web cam, microphone and speakers which are cleverly integrated into the svelte frame. There is a polished metal tripod stand which supports the 'floating' screen.

"For consumers who value technology with iconic design, Crystal offers an eloquent expression of their high-def lifestyle."
Spec-wise, the 22"WS display offers a 1680 x 1050 resolution, 2ms G2G response time, 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 98% NTSC colour gamut coverage (Dell's TrueColor technology). The screen will offer a DVI / HDMI interface which is HDCP certified
All in all, the design and features look very impressive with the new Crystal monitor. The screen is available at a very high price however of $1199 USD which may well put off potential buyers.

Dorms tranformed: Designers are earning extra credit
Some students and their parents are shelling out as much as $175 an hour for help turning dorm rooms into magazine-worthy living spaces.

The National Association of Professional Organizers is standing at the ready to help those who might need some aid with spring cleaning.
For more than a decade, architect and author Sarah Susanka has urged people to build better, not bigger. Now her message has gone mainstream.
There are those lucky enough to have a view of a lighthouse. And then there's celebrity hairdresser Oscar Blandi, who owns one.
There are eBay collections, such as china teapots and silver teaspoons, that you stash on shelves or tuck into closets and drawers. There are those you sit on and live with, perhaps a set of original Eames chairs. And then there are those you build an entire room around. That's what illustrator, author and songwriter Sandra Boynton has done in her barn-cum-studio.
Go figure: David Kirsch, personal trainer to the stars, the man credited with getting a postpartum Heidi Klum ready for the Victoria's Secret lingerie runway, has cheddar cheese in his refrigerator. (OK, so he eats it so sparingly, a hunk will last him three months.)
When it comes to coloring your home, red is, well, red-hot. "Few colors make a statement like red does. It just depends upon what kind of statement you want to make," says designer Vern Yip, host of HGTV's Deserving Design. He talks with USA TODAY's Mary Cadden about how to handle today's hottest hue.
Detricka Brown's new house is one of only two such homes in the USA, the first in a pilot program that is a collaboration between the Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America (ICA&CA) and the U.S. Area Office of Habitat for Humanity International.

Sometimes what struts down the runway sashays its way right into your living room. "Fashion is often a meditation on a theme," says Lauren Goodman, Domino magazine's fashion director. "It is choosing your palette, choosing who you are and where you are and appropriating that style.
The myriad motifs of India-inspired chic "bring an energy to home decor," says Natalie Warady, style director for O at Home magazine, "and a sense of fun." USA TODAY and Waraday look at modern takes on traditional Indian style.
A few years ago, when Ted Leonsis and his wife, Lynn, stumbled onto a designer show house that was on the market just outside Washington, D.C., they fell in love with it. Well, sort of. Kind of. OK, not really. But they bought it, gutted it, added on and rearranged. They bought the neighbor's house, too, then tore it down. When the sawdust had finally settled, there stood a 22,000-square-foot brick mansion on 5.5 acres, complete with pond, pool, tennis court, guesthouse and five-car garage.
Walking into Simon Doonan and Jonathan Adler's weekend house is like walking into a Jonathan Adler store. There are the graphic Jonathan Adler throw pillows the home goods designer is known for. The geometric Jonathan Adler bedsheets in chocolate and blue. The Jonathan Adler sofa the color of their Norwich terrier, Liberace (wheat). And, of course, enough of Jonathan Adler's first crafty fetish, pottery, to stock three houses, or so it seems.
Goodbye heavy fabrics, animals and feathers; hello to
One of the perks of owning two houses is that you can indulge two sides of your personality. Shoe designer Bettye Muller owns a sleek, modern apartment in Manhattan, but on weekends, she travels an hour north to a 1790 white clapboard farmhouse that's more about rough edges than clean angles.
There's still hope if you waited until the last minute to deck the halls. USA TODAY's Mary Cadden found festive flourishes around the house that can pull double decorating duty this holiday season.
Fitness guru Denise Austin tapes workout segments at luxurious resorts and on exotic beaches around the world. But Austin's ultimate oasis is her home just outside Washington, D.C. Like the tropical paradises Austin frequents, it is filled with palm trees.
Certain sparkly specimens come to mind at the mention of "famous Christmas trees": The one rising from Rockefeller Center, of course. That which graces the White House. But perhaps the Fraser fir grazing the great room ceiling of celebrity party-planning maestro David Tutera and his partner, Ryan Jurica, should be added to the list.

Those are the findings of two new studies presented at a recent meeting in Vancouver of the Obesity Society, an organization of weight-loss professionals. The studies add to the growing body of evidence that the nation's couch-potato mentality is contributing to obesity in adults and children.
It's important for parents to set a good fitness example for their children, says Nanette Stroebele of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Some ways for adults to become role models: Skip down one city block. It's about 200 steps. Park two blocks from school and walk, 400 steps. Play a game of soccer, 8,000 to 10,000 steps. Play nine holes of golf with no cart, 8,000 steps. Limit calories to an average of about 1,800 a day. Consume a relatively low-fat diet. Have breakfast every day. Eat in a consistent way without overindulging on the weekends. Keep track of what you eat and how much you weigh.
A study of the habits of members of the National Weight Control Registry — a group of about 5,000 people who have lost an average of 73 pounds and kept off at least 30 of them for more than six years — found that most watch fewer than 10 hours of TV a week.
That's much less than the national average of 28 hours a week, says lead researcher Suzanne Phelan, an assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral medicine at Brown University in Providence.
Registry members who increased their TV viewing were more likely to gain weight, she says.
Previous studies on these people found that they limit their calories to 1,800 a day, eat a low-fat diet, keep track of what they weigh and exercise regularly. They walk an average of 4 miles a day or burn the equivalent number of calories in another activity.
Not watching much TV is "another strategy in the tool belt for successful losers," Phelan says.
In another study presented at the meeting, researchers at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver had 57 children ages 10 to 17 wear pedometers for four days. They found that the children were taking an average of 7,902 steps a day.
"That's incredibly low. They should be taking at least 11,000 to 13,000 steps a day," says Nanette Stroebele, the lead researcher on the study. Adults are advised to aim for 10,000 steps a day, or about 5 miles.
One possible reason that the children took so few steps: They were watching an average of 2½ hours of TV a day.
Other findings:
• 42% of parents said they'd like their children to be more active.
• The number of steps dropped with age, especially after age 13.
About 65% of U.S. adults are considered overweight or obese; 31% of kids are overweight or at risk of becoming so.

Wait, people died in the Bay of Pigs debacle, therefore making jokes about it is tacky, tasteless and cheap? What the hell am I supposed to do for a post title, then, huh?
At this rate, I'll never achieve my dream of writing headlines for The Sun. "Super Cally Go Ballistic - Celtic Are Atrocious" belongs in Bartlett's.
By the way, 12,000 for a qualifier? Move Cuba!
As you may have guessed, I'm hitting the tangents like Bing Crosby hit his kids* because man, what the hell do you say about a 1-0 game that was worth every peso? They got the game in between hurricanes. And Wrigley Field has a manual scoreboard, too, and nobody says Wrigleyville is a third-world dictatorship. (Maybe I should run that by Peter Wilt, though.)
It's been a few days, and I still haven't read any reactions to the game apart from wire service reports (not even Havana Pravda's "Glorious People's Team Defeats Imperialist Running Dogs By -1"). I'm assuming, though, that I'm going to read a number of requests for Bob Bradley to spend more time with Fernando Clavijo's family. But, my friends, that's not change we can believe in.
Maybe it would be easier for me to join the torch-waving mob if Cuba had gotten their goal, but the US has played either up to or down to the level of its competition since Caligiuri's Shot Heard Round The World. Apart from serious outliers like Barbados, or we don't blow out anyone, and we don't get blown out. Even the Barbados example is instructive - we only won the second leg of that game 1-0. Over the years, we've gone from being just good enough to qualify to being just good enough to win the Hexagonal.
It might be time to realize that the fault does not lie in ourselves. You know who else doesn't blow out Caribbean and Central American teams on the road? Mexico. Because we're the one federation that divides its members into tiers of competence, Mexico and the United States don't get to pile on chew toys like Barbados and Dominica more than once every four years or so. There's also no way to prove this short of a worldwide tournament of bad teams...which I would so gladly pay to watch it's not funny...but I don't think our worst teams are that much more disgusting than the worst teams in any other fed. We just don't play them as often. The Hexagonal probably isn't going to include a team as awful as, to pick an example completely at random, Andorra.
Also - and this probably hasn't escaped people's notice - our bad teams tend to have bad facilities, which is yet another kind of equalizer. The Home Depot Center after the X-Games looks like the best fields in the Caribbean...at least, that aren't cricket or baseball fields. And don't get me started on home field advantage.
I still want us to go into places like Cuba and work them over like Easy, Cheap, But Classless Reference To A Bay In The Southeastern Portion Of The Island. I said I wanted a basketball score last week, but at some point I'm going to have to accept that's not what we're after, that's not the nature of qualifying, and that's not the nature of the sport today. Our world champions are kings of the 1-0 win, after all, and Australia left Oceania because they were tired of the kind of scores we seem to be demanding.
Okay, I'll meet you halfway. If Michael Bradley looks as if he's only on the team because he's Jeff Bradley's nephew...if DaMarcus Beasley flunks What's My Shoe Size again...if we put in another 4-5-1...if Landon Donovan is closed down like the Captain EO ride...if all this happens AT HOME, then I'll consider hopping on the Fire Bob bandwagon.
Probably not, though, because then we'll be talking about things like "Replace so-and-so with WHO, exactly?" that American coaches have faced since God was a boy. And while the guy's been great recently, are we REALLY surprised that Bob Bradley isn't falling all over himself to call up Edson Buddle? It's not like Bob doesn't give his former club players a fair shot.
*Too SOON? Oh, COME ON.

8 Simple Rules to Attain Work/Life Balance
Work/Life balance is a very important subject and really big challenge for a lot of people nowadays; I just came across an interesting post on Slacker Manager where David Zinger shares his 8 simple rules to solve work/life balance.
Here's a quick overview of his ideas in my own words:
1. Make sure you really want to and can change to achieve this balance
2. Put life before work.
3. Create a dynamic balance not a static one.
4. Set your limits; Know when to say no to work and yes to family.
5. Don't lie to yourself about who you are working for.
6. Be understanding of your family's needs and try to find instant solutions and make changes right away.
7. Quality time with your family is important, but quantity counts even more.
8. Talk your way out of teetering at work.Read the full post here: 8 Simple Rules to Solve Work/Life Balance

The TurboCAD® Pro Parametric Parts Manager allows you to create and consume parts that remain parametrically controlled even after insertion in the drawing. They are a bit like a 3D dynamic block, an AutoCAD® dynamic block, or a SketchUp™ dynamic component.
The key difference is that parametric parts (.PPM files) may be defined using a text description (script). The script defines the structure, editable properties, and outputs that aresult in a parametrically editable part.
There is also a method to draw variably constrained parts and convert them to parametric parts using a wizard. This dramatically simplifies creating simple .PPM objects that don't need the full power of all the functions available in scripted parts.
Because the parts can be saved individually, like a symbol, libraries of .PPM objects can be created, shared, and reused from project to project.
Simple examples could be to create a dynamic picket fence, or balustrade. Designing furniture of different lengths or seating configurations: chairs with or without arms, couches or tables of 6' or 8' lengths, bookshelves with different configurations. Mechanical parts that come in differing sizes and configurations may also be easy to design.
Another use for .PPM objects is to create 2D symbols. Imagine in landscape architecture if you had plants with a different appearance for different seasons, or for different growth sizes at 1 year, 5 years, and 15 years size. The uses are endless.
