Skip to comments.My new AMERICAN-MADE Laptop Computer
Posted on 04/12/2013 3:08:16 PM PDT by Lexinom
I've received my Lotus Solstice-15 with upgraded 1080p display.
These are built in the USA by a small company in Orlanda called LotusPC.
I negotiated a fair deal and received one-on-one help from the owner of the company. He built the machine to our exact specifications, including the absence of an installed OS (for which we were not charged).
This PC is of high-quality, on the order of a Panasonic laptop, in the $800-$1000 range. It's extremely solidly built with keypresses not moving the adjacent keys, has a keypad, and even the base i5 CPU screams. Running Ubuntu 12.10.
Note your comment...this is an ASSEMBLED product not a built product. All those chips and boards as well as the LCD panel came from abroad.
Just looked at their website. The company I work for dropped over $6K for the laptop I have (have to run some pretty hefty stuff) and these guys have a completely superior machine for $2K less.
Better than nothing?
I really like Lotus PC and am glad to have them in our corner.
Every little bit helps. According to their site the support and warranty are great.
Ping! :-)
One detail I particularly appreciate is the design of the power jack: it has, on the female side, five radially-distributed tabs around the perimeter.
"All those chips and boards as well as the LCD panel came from abroad."
It's true, they do. But the design was most likely from a U.S engineer, R&D and NRE funded by an U.S company and the EPA gets completely bypassed cause their made in another country. That's what makes them cheap.
There's no way around it. We simply don't make this stuff over here anymore.
Best part is they let you upgrade to Win7 Pro as an OS instead of that crappy win8.
I can't believe there are so many on this thread so quick to believe Integrated Circuit chips are no longer made in the US.
FR ain't the storehouse of wisdom it was when I first came here 12 yrs ago.
You've finally convinced me. We've had this discussion before. :^(
That will come as a bit of a surprise to the folks over at Intel. And TI. And ON. And Freescale (Oh, I bet you never heard of them. Used to be this tiny little outfit named "Motorola"). Intel has the fab in AZ. TI in TX. ON in AZ. Freescale in AZ and TX (OK, FSL had a fab in Sendai Japan, but we know how that turned out).
Then there's Silicon Valley....
(Gotta at least try, nascar.)
Then there's Silicon Valley....
***I live in SV. NONE of this stuff gets made here in the USA.
So they closed the last fab there? Sorry. I guess it's all design centers generating the traffic on the freeways. So, since it's dead, I assume the property is cheap again. Where's it good to buy?
IOW, what are we making to justify SV if nothing's "made" there anymore?
We've spent a month trying to get a brand new laptop working past the horror of Windows8. Mr. Gates and company are pros at making every new thing they come up with turn out incompatible with the rest of the working cyber world.
Thanks. I will forward this to our hardware guy. Maybe Lotus will pick up a bit more business.
Which processor does it use? How about sharing some specs.
I tried that for the first time a couple of weeks ago. 8 is the most unuseable OS I have seen. It is an intuitive software that lacks the intuitive.
Ubuntu does everything I want. I've finally made the switch to 100% linux. For my Windows customers there's Remmina, which lets me log onto their Windows systems each week to do my work.
There's Bumblebee which gets around the nVidia nIdiots' lack of support for Linux so I can run processor-intensive 3D programs and take advantage of the video hardware.
Plus, Linux is about 50% faster out of the box than Windows because it lacks the complex plug-and-play layers that keeps Windows slow and heavy.
Many of them are not. Yes there are still foundries in Arizona and Texas but not all chips are made there and Hong Kong Singapore, and Japan have very active chip production foundries.
The fact that you don't know that suggests you do not know the field as well as you like to think
no disagreement here....will support every possible company I can
Give Linux a chance. It's not the Linux of 10 years ago. Get the GNOME desktop (avoid Unity like the plague), and I think you might be pleasantly impressed.
Once the design is done, the task of mass producing the integrated circuits is shipped off to Philippines, Malaysia, or China. Silicon wafers, cut from cleanroom-grown crystals, hold dozens of rectangular future integrated circuits which are precisely machined and sanded, masked per the American engineers' VLSI design, doped with boron and phosphorous to form the N and P channels, masked and etched for the metal oxide gates, packaged into what we think of as an "integrated circuit", QA tested, and delivered.
I believe that at one time Phoenix, AZ was a hotbed for chip fabrication.
The creative and analytical aspects of the development still originate here in the U.S.
IOW, what are we making to justify SV if nothings made there anymore?
***Intellectual Property. Once that goes overseas, then the property will be cheap again.
I know desk tops are not as handy as a laptop, but desk tops can be easily upgraded. I had my desk top custom built in 2006 for about $900. I recently moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 and had my son-in-law handle the rebuild. I replaced the mother board and chip set, upgraded my wireless card, added 4GB of faster RAM and upgraded my power supply. My total cost of the upgrade was about $300 not including the Windows 7 software. I was able to reuse my case, monitor and hard drive. The result is fast, stable and runs Windows 7 effortlessly.
I couldn't be happier with this laptop. Even the graphics accelerator works under Linux - but only for those apps for which you tell it to work, which I like. "Bumblebee" is the name of the package.
I guess not. I think I waste a lot of time every week.
Windows 8 is crap, arguably worse than Vista.
At this point, it may not even be arguable.
Page down.
Looks like most are in Taiwan, and the US plants are increasingly majority older.
We need to turn around America now. We need to bring hi-tech manufacturing back, and we need to return basic manufacturing.
Look in any store now. Look at the "Made in..." stickers.
All in China.
Intel talked about wanting to build plants in the US a year or two ago. Basically it came down to the costs of putting a plant in the US are significantly more than outside. The regulatory approval process is upto 5 times as long...with no guarantee of approval. You would think that Americans would be lining up to greet a company that is going to drop $1 - 6 billion in the local community. No, we tell them to go find some place else. People are getting the government they are voting for.
Arizona pulled a big one a couple of years ago... Intel in Arizona Intel basically said never to Kalifornia.
Well, I've interviewed with them nine times, the last one being (I think) 2007. They had a chance to hire me - a guy who solves problems in the context of the big picture rather than a trained circus bear who can cite chapter and verse. They chose not to. Their mistake.
Good luck on your current venture. Maybe this was God's path to greater prosperity.

text: Hi all, Here is my small contribution in a long time. I thought a blurb about the overloading mechanism would be needed in lang-support-guide.texi, so I wrote the following. I thought that this section was needed before we discuss the details of semantic-parse-region, semantic-lex, semantic-parse-stream, semantic-parse-changes, etc. Let me know what you think. @c The word ``semantic'' is overloaded with two meanings in this manual. @c One is the name of this projects, i.e., a noun. @c The other is the usual English word, i.e., an adjective. @c This macro was created to distinguish between the two meanings. @c This macro should be used whenever you are referring to the name of @c this project. @c For now, this is simply the word ``semantic'' in italic font. @c In the future, this may turn into a logo similar to @TeX{}. @macro semantic{} @i{semantic} @end macro @node Semantic Overload Mechanism @subsection Semantic Overload Mechanism One of @semantic{}'s goal is to provide a framework for supporting a wide range of languages. Writing parsers for some languages are very simple, e.g., any dialect of lisp family such as emacs-lisp and scheme. Parser for many languages can be written in context free grammars such as C, Java, Python, etc. On the other hand, it is impossible to specify context free grammar for other languages such as texinfo. Yet @semantic{} already provides parsers for all these languages. In order to support such wide range of languages, a mechanism for customizing the parser engine at many levels was needed to maximize code reuse yet give each programmer the flexibility of customizing the parser engine at many levels of granularity. @cindex function overloading @cindex overloading, function The solution that @semantic{} provides is the @i{function overloading} mechanism which allows one to intercept and customize the behavior of many of the functions in the parser engine. The basic idea behind this is quite simple. First the parser engine breaks down the task of parsing a language into several steps. Each step is represented by an emacs-lisp function. Some of these are @code{semantic-parse-region}, @code{semantic-lex}, @code{semantic-parse-stream}, @code{semantic-parse-changes}, etc. Many built-in @semantic{} functions are declared as being @i{over-loadable} functions, i.e., functions that do reasonable things for most languages, but can be customized to suit the particular needs of a given language. All @i{over-loadable} functions then can easily be @i{over-ridden} if necessary. The rest of this section provides details on this @i{overloading mechanism}. Over-loadable functions are created by defining functions with @code{define-overload} macro rather than the usual @code{defun}. @code{define-overload} is a thin wrapper around @code{defun} that sets up the function so that it can be overloaded. An @i{over-loadable} function then can be @i{over-ridden} in one of two ways: @code{define-mode-overload-implementation} and @code{semantic-install-function-overrides}. Let's look at a couple of examples. @code{semantic-parse-region} is one of the top level functions in the parser engine defined via @code{define-overload}: @example (define-overload semantic-parse-region (start end &optional nonterminal depth returnonerror) "Parse the area between START and END, and return any tokens found. ... tokens.") @end example The document string was truncated in the middle above since it is not relevant here. This macro invocation above defines @code{semantic-parse-region} emacs-lisp function that checks first if there is an overloaded implementation. If one is found, then that is called. If one is not found, then the default implementation is called which in this case is to call @code{semantic-parse-region-default}, i.e., a function with the same name but with the tailing @i{-default}. Now that we discussed how a function can be declared as an over-loadable one, we show how to overload such a function. One way to overload @code{semantic-parse-region} is via @code{semantic-install-function-overrides}. An example from @file{semantic-texi.el} file is shown below: @example (defun semantic-default-texi-setup () "Set up a buffer for parsing of Texinfo files." ;; This will use our parser. (semantic-install-function-overrides '((parse-region . semantic-texi-parse-region) (parse-changes . semantic-texi-parse-changes))) ... ) (add-hook 'texinfo-mode-hook 'semantic-default-texi-setup) @end example Above function is called whenever a buffer is setup as texinfo mode. @code{semantic-install-function-overrides} above indicates that @code{semantic-texi-parse-region} is to over-ride the default implementation of @code{semantic-parse-region}. Note the use of @code{parse-region} symbol which is @code{semantic-parse-region} without the leading @i{semantic-} prefix. Another way to over-ride a built-in @semantic{} function is via @code{define-mode-overload-implementation}. An example from @file{wisent-python.el} file is shown below. @example (define-mode-overload-implementation semantic-parse-region python-mode (start end &optional nonterminal depth returnonerror) "Over-ride in order to initialize some variables." (let ((wisent-python-lexer-indent-stack '(0)) (wisent-python-explicit-line-continuation nil)) (semantic-parse-region-default start end nonterminal depth returnonerror))) @end example Above over-rides @code{semantic-parse-region} so that for buffers whose major mode is @code{python-mode}, the code specified above is executed rather than the default implementation. @c An analogy with @xref{(elisp)Advising Functions} might be useful here. @c Perhaps providing rational for why we don't rely on advising might @c be good also.

W hen a woman called Gwen comes to her door selling cosmetics, the writer-narrator of Alice Munro's story "Dolly" finds herself discussing her book about Marta Ostenso, "who wrote a book called Wild Geese and a host of others all now forgotten". It's a sly gesture: literary detectives will discover that Munro was on the Advisory Board of the New Canadian Library when it reprinted Wild Geese in 1989. "Her husband is supposed to have written parts of the novel," the narrator (a 71-year-old biographer of neglected Canadian writers) tells her new friend. In fact, Wild Geese was the only one of Ostenso's novels that wasn't a collaboration with her husband.
In this story about a writing husband and wife, Munro's purpose is elsewhere. The 81-year- old Franklin is a poet; his wife thinks poetry is "more of an end in itself". Franklin once wrote a celebrated and "pretty raw" poem that chronicles a youthful love affair; and the discovery that Gwen (then nicknamed Dolly) was its subject nearly unhinges the narrator. The effect of the poem's memory of passion, we imagine, has as much to do with her distress as the chance reunion of the ex-lovers. For all its assiduous chronicling of day-long tumult, "Dolly" is one of the quietest stories in a collection in which quiet surfaces conceal internal chaos and depths of unfinished mourning. Many of these fictions are about mildly transgressive loves.
In "To Reach Japan", a poet wanders off with her children to mind a house, has a fling on a train, and meets a fantasy lover at her destination; in "Amundsen", a young teacher is seduced and then abandoned on the way to her wedding as, in the background, triumphal music plays ("the Allies are getting closer and closer to Berlin"). Many years later, now married, she sees her lover across the street. "Nothing," she muses, "really changes about love."
The stories are set in different periods of the last century. "All this happens in the seventies," one begins, while another starts in the interim between the world wars. The passing of time comes as a shock. "Pride", one of the few stories with a male narrator, begins before the Thirties, and skips through the middle of the 20th century. At the end, when a platonic relationship disintegrates, we are startled to realise at the mention of e-mail that the protagonists must be – at least – in their seventies.
In "Corrie", a story with as many twists as a 19th-century tale, the rich heroine is lame in one leg. Blackmailed by a former servant about her relationship with a married man, she realises, when her antagonist dies, that she has been subjected to a deception as long as her affair.
Munro's stories have long spans; they have also tended, over the last decade, to be genre-defyingly long. But there is a rediscovered economy of expression at work in this outstanding collection, with the most satisfying stories filling about 25 pages. Her technique with time is remarkable: she continues her fictions where others would conclude, sliding from near-closure to epilogues in which the haunting truth of an unresolved mystery is uncovered.
In "Gravel", for example, the protagonist is absolved, in adulthood, of her guilt about a death for which she wasn't responsible. "Accept everything," she's told, "and then tragedy disappears. Or tragedy lightens, anyway, and you're just there, going along easy in the world." If only, these stories suggest, things could be so simple; nothing really changes about loss.

Ooh! Another person! (I'll get over the novelty of having actual people commenting on my blog one of these days, I suppose. For now, I'll continue being a dork about it. )
Yeah, I'm kind of liking that way of approaching things with OG myself. I'll probably do it something like that when DF finally decides "OK, let's do this".
I've been talking to DF some more today and last night about the timing of this whole thing. He told me he is just processing right now, that he's not feeling bad or uncomfortable or scared, it's just a lot to think about right now. He did say that he intends to give me the go-ahead soon, though, and that he's not going to try to have me hold out until he finds somebody.
You have a really good point about the whole temptation to cross boundaries thing. Things were easy and fun last night with OG, but the easy/fun aspect of things are a perfect environment for two people to grow closer and more intimate... which tends to lead to temptations to do things which would definitely be crossing boundaries right now.
I think he might not be actually on the prowl. I was just teasing him about the bounce in his step and the prettying up.
Anyway, I'm glad you think we're having a good start!
(And by the way, I like the set up of your siggy. I might just borrow that later on, if you don't mind).

Jay Morris Arena was born in Clarksburg, West Virginia on March 3, 1909 to Anthony M. and Rose Sandy Arena. He received degrees from West Virginia University (B.A., 1930) and Duke University (M.D., 1932). Arena interned at Strong Memorial Hospital, Rochester, New York (1932) and later Johns Hopkins Hospital (1932-1933). Arena joined Duke University in 1933 as a resident at Duke Hospital. Following his residency at Duke, he worked at Vanderbilt University as an instructor in pediatrics, but soon returned to Duke University School of Medicine in 1936 to become an assistant, associate, and finally full professor of pediatrics. Arena was the secretary-treasurer of the Duke Medical Alumni Association. In 1970, Arena was also appointed professor of community health sciences. He was a preeminent physician in the field of pediatrics and toxicology and has been credited with beginning the first poison control movement in the country. In 1953, Arena founded the Duke Poison Control Center. The center, later directed by Shirley K. Osterhout, provided information to individuals and businesses about the product safety and chronic and acute management of poisoning through referrals, correspondence, and educational speakers. Later in the 1950s, Arena went beyond the center to persuade drug companies to develop the childproof safety cap for medicine bottles. Many companies were not interested in changing their product for fear of low sales or reputation of not producing a safe drug. But Arena persisted, and with support from Duke University, convinced a number of drug companies to begin using child-proof safety caps. A major success was in the safety closure for children's aspirin : he helped bring about a reduction in the strength of aspirin as well as in the number of tablets per bottle. As a result, the incidence of aspirin poisoning in children during the early 1980s was reduced from 25 percent to less than 5 percent of all poisoning cases. Arena's interest in poison prevention was due in part to the influence of Dr. Wilburt C. Davison, long-time School of Medicine dean. During the 1930s, the two men had treated children suffering from the unfortunately common and caustic effects of lye poisoning. They kept a reference file on other types of poisoning. The file eventually led to an inventory of treatments for poisoning and helped to develop the Duke Poison Control Center and more than 600 poison control centers across the United States. Arena shared his expertise in poison control throughout the United States by founding and presiding over the American Association of Poison Control Centers, an association to share information between health care centers which provided poison control information. He was the chair, vice president and president of many divisions of the American Academy of Pediatrics and president of the North Carolina Pediatric Society. He also served on the advisory board of the Council on Family Health and as a member of that group's delegation to the People's Republic of China. During his trips around China, Arena worked with other medical professionals to access the quality of care and evaluate the effectiveness of some traditional treatments as well as implementation of more modern techniques. Between 1935 and 1979, Arena published approximately 300 articles and pamphlets on poisoning and a variety of pediatric subjects. He was the author, co-author or editor of many books : Poisoning: Toxicology, Symptoms, Treatment (1970, 1974, 1979, 1986), Child Safety is No Accident: A Parents' Handbook of Emergencies (1978), Dangers to Children and Youth: Accidents, Poison, Prevention (1971), Duke's Mixture: Davison's Saga (1968), The Peril in Plants (1970), Poisoning: Chemistry, Symptoms, Treatment (1963), The Treatment of Poisoning (1966), Davison of Duke: His Reminiscences (1980), Human Poisoning from Native and Cultivated Plants (1969, 1974), Pediatric Therapy (1964, 1975, 1980), and Principles and Practice of Emergency Medicine (1978). He also served on the editorial board of Clinical Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Family Practice News, Highlights for Children, Journal of American College of Emergency Physicians, Nutrition Today, Pediatric Annals, and Pediatric News Arena was appointed to serve with various government agencies. He worked with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare with the Poison Control Branch of the Bureau of Medicine in the Division of Hazardous Substances and as an advisor on the Committee on Safety for Children. Arena served as an advisor and member of the United States Product Safety Commission and a chair of the Standards Committee of the National Standards Institute. As an advisory expert on the Accidents and Poison Panel of the International Pediatric Association, Arena was frequently called upon to give expert witness testimony in cases of accidental poisoning, prescription medication problems and corporate responsibility in poisoning cases. He was a member of the National Advisory Committee on Consumer Product Safety. Fraternal organizations memberships included Sigma Xi, Phi Beta Kappa, and Alpha Omega Alpha. Arena retired from Duke University in 1979. The Jay Arena Fund in Pediatric Pharmacology and Toxicology was established in his honor. He was married to Pauline (Polly) Elizabeth Monteith. Together they had seven children. Arena died in 1996.Back to Top

Academic Resilience
Our resources:
- Help any school establish systems to build 'resilience approaches' that support disadvantaged pupils over time through a whole school approach
- Will benefit all pupils from a school-wide approach to increasing academic resilience
- Raise achievement
- Offer 'quick wins' that can be implemented immediately
- Help identify pupils who are at risk of not fulfilling their academic potential
- Provide practical approaches to help pupils do better than might be expected
- Offer ideas to help everyone in the school community play a part.
All our resources are based on research evidence and practice.
One Head teacher involved in developing Academic Resilience uses a famous quote from NASA to illustrate the idea of a whole school approach:
The folk tale goes like this, one day a visitor came to the space station and asked a cleaner who was sweeping up what job they did there. The cleaner replied 'I help put men on the moon'.
Imagine what it would be like in your school if every adult in the school community's answer to a visitor asking what they do was 'I help our most vulnerable pupils achieve better than any of us could ever have imagined they would'.
Would you like answers to these questions?
- How do I improve results through academic resilience?
- What is academic resilience?
- Which are the pupils we are talking about?
- What can schools do?
- How can services support me?
- What about parents?
Find out more about us and the resource
Academic Resilience - beating the odds for better results, is an approach for schools devised by Lisa Williams and Professor Angie Hart and adopted by YoungMinds. Based on Professor Hart's collaborative resilience work at the University of Brighton and Boingboing, YoungMinds continues to work in partnership with them to develop the approach and support for schools.

Every Australian business looking to survive and thrive needs to take Digital Marketing seriously in 2016. This typically involves two paths:
- Finding and hiring talent that can design and execute a successful internal digital strategy – difficult.
- Hiring a digital agency that can design and run your campaigns for you – risky.
If you are a small company it makes more sense to hire an external partner to look after your online marketing, such as:
- Social media marketing
- Paid search marketing
- Organic search engine optimisation
- Conversion optimisation
- Social media ads
We use a digital agency in melbourne called contevo.com.au and they recently published a great blog about how to get the most out of your digital agency.

The link between chronic oral infections and general health has been recognized since the early 20th century. During the last 2 decades, retrospective epidemiological studies and prospective longitudinal, as well as intervention, studies have supported that these chronic oral infections with accompanying chronic inflammation associate with various systemic diseases and their sequelae. This continuation application for the Center for the Biologic Basis of Oral/System Diseases (CBBO/SD) addresses major initiatives of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) regarding improving oral and general health ofthe U.S. population. The CBBO/SD is organized into 3 cInical projects: Project 1: Chronic Inflammation at the Oral and Cervico/Vaginal Mucosa;Project 2: Physiology of the Stress Response in Patients with Temporomandibular Disorders and Fibromyalgia;Project 3: Coordinated Oral-Intestinal Immune Response in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases;and 2 translational science projects: Project 4: Ontogeny of Innate Immune Responses at Mucosal Surfaces;and Project 5: Gene Therapy for Orofacial Pain. These projects enlist junior investigators from the Colleges of Dentistry, Nursing, and Medicine, as well as senior mentors/co-investigators from multiple colleges at UK. The thematic interface of the projects focuses on the contribution of chronic inflammation to oral and systemic diseases. They engage populations of expectant women, patients with chronic orofacial pain, and inflammatory bowel disease. These clinical projects interact with the translational projects at the level of a common understanding of innate immune responses and inflammation, and novel therapeutic intervention strategies forthe chronic orofacial pain. The CBBO/SD provides an infrastructure for development of the junior faculty by providing grants management support, educational opportunities, a biostatistics/bioinformatics core, and a clinical research center. The continuation of the CBBO/SD is supported by the success during the initial tenure of the center in transitioning junior investigators towards independent funding, coupled with substantial investment from the university and individual colleges.

The Steve Prescott Foundation is a registered charity and is the legacy of Steve Prescott MBE who passed away in November 2013. Steve played for St Helens, Hull FC, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and was a Great Britain and Ireland international before a knee injury prematurely ended his career.
Steve was diagnosed with a rare abdominal cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei in 2006 and formed the SPF to raise funds and raise awareness for Try Assist, formerly The Rugby League Benevolent Fund and the Christie Hospital in Manchester. He undertook many physically and mentally exhausting challenges during his illness to raise funds. Steve had a pioneering multi visceral transplant with the small bowel, pancreas, duodenum and abdominal wall included at the Oxford Transplant Unit and although this eradicated the cancer Steve passed away a few weeks later. The SPF now also supports research into multi visceral transplants. Steve was immensely proud of the GPW Recruitment St Helens 10k. It was Steve's wish to give the people of St Helens and Rugby League community a vehicle to get fit and healthy. The GPW Recruitment St Helens has certainly fulfilled his wish. We would like to encourage all athletes to raise funds for The Steve Prescott Foundation. A lot of work and effort goes into the organising of this event and we would like your support to continue Steve's incredible legacy and help those less fortunate than ourselves.
The SPF has raised over £1,000,000 since its inception in 2007. The SPF helps in the organisation of the annual St Helens 10k run and the Taylor Park Challenge.
The inaugural St Helens Triathlon took place in September 2015. It was always Steve's wish to hold this event and his wish become a reality. The Triathlon was attended by Claire Place who was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma four years ago and underwent multi-organ transplant surgery in 2015. Claire has benefitted from the lessons learned from Steve's experimental operation and is now able to eat and drink normally.
In October 2015 a party of 40 will climb Mount Kilimanjaro in 6 days and also play the World's Highest altitude game of rugby league. No doubt everyone who takes on a challenge for the SPF will be motivated by Steve's mantra, 'What the mind believes, the body achieves'.
Steve's autobiography 'One in a Million' was released in the summer of 2014 with his wife Linzi completing the story of his life and describing his incredible courage.
Steve Prescott continues to inspire a generation and the RFL honoured his contribution to rugby league by naming the annual Super League player of the year award the Steve Prescott Man of Steel award.Visit Website
We think this year will be bigger than ever!

As the heart rates fall back toward almost-normal range in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area, and we look back on what we just saw, two conclusions can easily be made. First, the Packers are a much better team than their record. Second, the 49ers and Colin Kaepernick fear nothing and no one.
The elements, which got so much press (including here on BASG) over the last week, were just a minor footnote in what was an outstanding game. The 49ers won 23-20 on a 33-yard Phil Dawson field goal that was almost blocked (by a guy who was called offsides, but that kills the narrative). In the process, the 49ers' failures were wiped away.
The two timeouts that were taken in the first eight minutes of the third quarter didn't matter, because the 49ers still had one to stop the clock with a couple seconds left in the game. Kaepernick's interception in the first quarter that gave Green Bay life was bad, but it seemed to force the 49ers to remember that they're a team with incredible rushers both at the halfback and quarterback positions.
In all, it was a game that perfectly epitomized the 49ers' season. The weather was rough, the officials were allowing anything and everything besides obvious false start/offsides penalties, and Aaron Rodgers was a slippery little bugger when the 49ers thought they had him corralled. In the end, Kaepernick led the seventh game-winning drive of his career, his second in two weeks, and his second in the postseason. Plenty of obstacles, and San Francisco overcame every single one.
The final drive: 5 minutes remaining, Kaepernick, Gore and the o-line take over
The 49ers started with two straight incomplete passes, and you could almost hear the cries from 49ers fans throughout the country: "WHY AREN'T THEY RUNNING?"
Then Kaepernick completed a 17-yard pass to Michael Crabtree, who was unstoppable early and ended with eight catches for 125 yards. (What Achilles tear?) Finally Roman called a run play, but Gore only got a yard. But he picked up 11 yards on a rare reception on the next play.
Gore ran for two yards on first down, Kaepernick threw an incompletion to Vernon Davis, and the 49ers faced 3rd-and-long for the second time. Kaepernick ran around left end for 11 yards, thanks to one of several fantastic blocks from Gore, this time against blitzing cornerback Jarrett Bush.
Then it was Gore with 11 yards on four carries (including a third down conversion that was helped by a great block by Will Tukuafu) to set up Dawson's game-winning kick.
None of this would've been possible without one of the best games for the offensive line as a whole in quite some time. The Packers' front seven is nowhere near elite without Clay Matthews (or even with Matthews), but the Packers won the time of possession battle and their defense was fresh. If there were any slip-ups at all, whether by penalty or a missed assignment, Kaepernick gets sacked and the game probably goes to overtime or the 49ers lose at the end of regulation.
But they came through when it counted, and afterward Joe Staley jokingly complained about how their ability to do just that, especially when they need it most, can get frustrating. Every 49ers fan in the world will probably find themselves nodding while reading the following quote.
"I think the thing that we've done a really good job of — we were actually laughing about this after the game — we always come up with points when we need to," Staley said.
"It's like, let's just do that the whole time. It just seems like, 'Okay, we need to get seven here. Okay, we'll go get seven.' Then we get seven. 'Hey, we need to get three to run out the clock. Okay, we'll run out the clock and get three here.'
"Let's just do that the whole time and score 60 points a game. It'd be a lot easier."
That would be easier, wouldn't it? But this has been banged into our heads for three consecutive weeks: these 49ers don't do easy. They do win, though. 13 and counting.
49ers march forward
— Wow, Dawson is good.
— I've seen how Jim Harbaugh interacts with the beat guys, so this is especially hilarious and proves just how euphoric Harbaugh (who had barely any voice left during his pregame scream/speech) was after the game:
Jim Harbaugh was so giddy after this game that after his presser he kissed a reporter on the top of his head. His bald head.
— Matt Barrows (@mattbarrows) January 6, 2014
Barrows, like yours truly, is not exactly blessed when it comes to the ol' hairline.
— With how many blocks Gore had to spring Kaepernick (who ran for 98 yards) free, doesn't the 49ers quarterback owe Gore at least one block? Only fair.
— It's not like Kaepernick couldn't handle it. He smashed helmets with Tramon Williams when he made the tackle after his interception, and he didn't wear sleeves!
"It's not that cold, it's all mental. Look at Bow, he got no sleeves too!" – Kaepernick
— Bay Area Sports Guy (@BASportsGuy) January 6, 2014
That quote was from when Kaepernick and NaVorro Bowman talked with Fox's sideline reporter after the game. After Kaepernick left, Bowman's interview was cut short because his teeth were chattering.
— Just like against the Cardinals, LaMichael James had a good kickoff return to help put the 49ers in good field position before an important drive — this time it helped set up their first touchdown drive of the fourth quarter.
— Tukuafu wasn't the only under-the-radar hero who made his second opportunity with the 49ers count. Perrish Cox played the entire game and was outstanding. Both players earned themselves some money today.
— Aldon Smith (1.5 sacks, two QB hits) is back. So is Ahmad Brooks (two sacks, two QB hits).
— It's pretty tiresome when fans/teams/announcers complain about the officiating, but the refs really seemed like they wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. Sort of like, "Okay guys, if you're going to force us to stand alone on this freezing-cold field, we're going to refuse to call all but the most obvious penalties." Both teams got away with some stuff, but no non-call was as blatant as this hold on Ray McDonald on the play where Rodgers went into Houdini-mode and found Randall Cobb on 4th-and-2:
If you're wondering how Rodgers got away. MOST OBVIOUS HOLD EVER. pic.twitter.com/sPCpe4gNXl
— World of Isaac (@WorldofIsaac) January 6, 2014
— Next up: the Carolina Panthers, who the 49ers will face in Charlotte at 10 am PST. The weather should be better, but know this: it won't get any easier. That's just the way this season's going to be, so keep your aspirin handy.
Quite a marvel how the 49ers who hail from "balmy" California handled arctic conditions (with some sleeveless players) to triumphantly slice the cheese into a wine and cheese tasting festival rendering the Packers packed up from their lockers and sent back home.
Several players I must mention as crucial to the 49ers' victory: Dawson, of course who kicked game-winners in successive weeks, Gore who both ran and blocked hard, and the blur-by-the-edges Kaepernick who yet again threw the Packers off-guard by balancing a passing and ground game as brutal and cold Lambeau field was.
Fresh cheese for the Niners and spoiled, moldy green-infested cheese for the Packers.
It seems like the NFL, like the NBA and NHL, allows more physical play in the postseason, and I love it. Obviously the challenge for the refs is to call it ( or not call it ) evenly and in think in all 4 games this weekend they did a good job of that.
My one pissy comment: The amount of ADVERTISEMENTS in NFL playoffs is brutal. I was yelling at my TV. I'm a Red Zone guy and I was floored by all the ads.
More than happy with this win but a lot of issues and problems that really need to be attended. Another thing, even if we beat Carolina, don't be surprised that we'll get bruised up pretty bad. Very, very tough road for the 49ers this season.
just win baby!!!!
i expect this crew to go into Carolina next week and lay an a$$ whupping on them
Niners 38, Carolina 20
Go Niners
Great game, great performance by my favorite 49er--Crabtree!
@BASportsGuy I agree, Joe!
Good hard fought game. The better team won. The Packers aren't really an 8 win team. If Rodgers is healthy all season they're probably a 11 or 12 win team. Worthy adversary and the Niners came out on top.
@BASportsGuy yes I like Joe's thinking
@BASportsGuy dusting off the old tried and true (in SF) "torture" narrative, I see....
@BASportsGuy good stuff BASG!
I hope that crew is not allowed to officiate any more playoff games. The packers lost a lot of players to injury and doubt they would not be in any shape to move on.
The helmet it after the interception should be seeing a fine from the nfl.
Gritty win, 3 more to go...
@bairth Thanks!
@Topraman I agree. That crew was terrible today, especially the side judge who missed 2 holding calls. Crabtree was clearly getting held twice and no one saw it.
Outside of that, what a win for the 49ers today! Awesome Wildcard playoff victory!

A vous la France!
A vous la France!
This book offers a journey of discovery into aspects of French and Francophone culture and civilisation.

In deciding what to blog about for Blog Against Sexism day, many ideas crossed my mind. There is certainly no dearth of examples in our society, but narrowing the broad subject down to one meaningful topic proved more difficult than I thought. But then I remembered a conversation I had a few weeks ago and this post was more or less able to write itself.
I was born a male and thusly born into certain privileges. One of these privileges is a certain freedom in literature. As a male, and more specifically a white male, I have been afforded the freedom to write about whomever and whatever I please. Most classic works of literature have been penned by white males, and they push boundaries every which way. Given that the white male culture is the dominant mode within society, there is very little need to give voice to ourselves. We have plenty of agency — often more than we even know what to do with — and as it turns out, everything we say or do generally seems to reinforce the existing ideologies of our culture anyway. We certainly have had a checkered past of invisible hegemony.
When a female writer takes up the pen, however, there is far less freedom afforded. Whether explicit or implicit, there is an inordinate amount of pressure to write "women's issues." My aforementioned friend remarked that she cannot stand to hear one more female poet writing an ode to her vagina, to her uterus, or to menstrual bleeding. As a marginalized voice within canonical literature, it is certainly important to establish a female presence, but should a women be defined solely by how well she writes about "women's issues"?
And what are these issues anyway? Are not most "women's issues" really issues that society at large ought to be dealing with? Menstruation isn't so much a women's issue — it's a natural function of the human body — the issue lies in how society treats menstruation. To be honest, writing an ode to your menstrual blood is hardly going to make many readers of the opposite gender comfortable.
But maybe the goal is discomfort. Maybe one can shock the mainstream into acceptance. But it seems to me that this tactic hardly works.
Literary oppression is silent and hardly recognized. Virginia Woolf was wise to note that a woman needs a regular income and a room of her own in order to be a successful writer. She also noted that one cannot produce true art if one is choked by anger. There is a lot of anger to be felt by women about their marginzalized place in society, but this anger should not always be allowed to hamper one's true expresion.
An ode to one's uterus is certainly a shockingly refreshing deviation from the literary norm, yet sadly this is becoming the literary norm for many women's writers. Not that this is the fault of the writers, as there is a long chain of hegemonic and canononical constructions working against them, but in order for women to achieve an equal footing in the literary world, they need to be able to write freely.
This is not addressed, of course, to the J.K. Rowlings or the Anne Rices. I have little interest in what goes on in the popular literary world. But in the avant-garde, the experimental, the academic – perhaps most commonly in the world of poetry – women are compelled to write within a box. My friend (and this is the last time I shall mention her) was criticized by a fellow female poet in a writing workshop for not dealing specifically with "women's issues." Her writing was meeting censure — not from the male literary community — but from a fellow female writer for not meeting some sort of standard for women's poetry.
Every person ought to be able to write what he or she chooses. If a poet chooses to write an angry ode to her vagina, then she ought to feel free to do so. But it is extraordinarily important that women write about everything and anything they choose, and not feel limited to writing these angry odes. If female writing is confined to this literary ghetto, then liberation in this area has not been a success. There have grown to be certain expectations of what a woman can and should write, and it is time that more writers step up and shatter these expectations. It would be a welcome change to see a serious feminist author step up and write a work of pure literary fiction. Certainly feminist issues need not take a backseat to other more frivolous literary pursuits, but if every work of art is a polemic, then equality will never be met.Powered by Sidelines

Best summer movies for families…including teens!
Our family loves movies, and summer movie nights are a common occurrence around our house. Popping popcorn, snuggling up on the couch together--it's the best! We've watched a lot of movies as a family, and I thought I'd gather some of our very favorite summer movies that are perfect for your next movie night and share them with you!
My kids are mostly younger (five of them are age nine and younger), with just one older, so we are watching movies that are for that general age group. If you have an age span of kids, these movies will still appeal for the most apart across the board, and are movies that the whole family can enjoy. Many of these are ones that I enjoyed as a child, watching with my family, and they bring back a ton of memories. We watched them on a VCR though--do you remember how long it took to rewind or fast forward? Yay for DVDs! You may notice that I also included the original versions of movies, including Parent Trap, The Love Bug, and Freaky Friday. I've always loved them the best!
I also created a separate "teen" list, for those of you that have mostly teens and even older tweens, depending on what your family rules are when it comes to movies. Every movie I've included, even the ones for teenagers, are rated either G or PG, except for the last few in the Harry Potter series. Our kids don't get to watch those until they're pretty old. :) The Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean movies I just included the first in the series, because those are the ones that are rated PG.
Save your sanity with a "before you can play" chore list!
Every summer morning I hear the words "can I play?", in one form or another. They might be referring to going outside to play, having friends over, wanting me to take them somewhere, requesting screen time, or any number of things that's on their agenda that day. I got really tired of listing the things off that they needed to do before they could play (even though they already knew), that I decided to make things easier for not only myself, but for the kids too, by making a summer "before you can play" chore list. I hung it on the fridge, and when they want to know if they can play, I just ask if they have everything done on the list! Love!
Summer fun: free flip flops coloring page
Kiki is here with a super fun free printable coloring page, to help beat summer boredom! And...it's just fun. :)
Hey Ya'll! SUMMER is here! Yay and Yikes, right?! Yay because your kids are home all day and you have so much quality time with them. Yikes because your kids are home all day...:) It's Kiki from Kiki and Company and I am here to share a really simple printable with you to add to your summer arsenal. I like to have a bunch of things my kiddos can do during the day to avoid the dreaded "BORED" word. In my house that is just code for "I need a job, mom!" ;) What says summer more that flip flops?
How to put together a summer car kit + free printable!
Already the sunscreen and bug spray have come out of hibernation, and plans are being made to enjoy every single minute of the summer. We're on the go a lot during the summer months, whether it's a road trip, or just around town. It means a lot of parks and outdoor activities and FUN! With all that fun comes the inevitable, and odds are, I'm going to need something out of the car kit that I keep in my trunk. Preparedness is key! I change it up a bit for each season, and today I'm sharing the summer version, plus a super cute free printable!
Cheap & easy DIY outdoor wooden blocks
My husband and I are outside quite a bit building and working on different projects now that the weather is nice, and it's wonderful! The kids will play outside in the yard while we're working, and one of the things they love to play with are all the wood scraps that we seem to have an endless supply of. This past Saturday they were stacking the scraps, building towers, making roads, pretending all sorts of things, and even coloring them with their sidewalk chalk. It kept them busy for a long time, and they were having a ball. I decided to make them their own permanent set of outdoor wooden blocks to keep outside all the time, knowing they would be a huge hit this summer. We LOVE them!
Make your summer easier with a printable summer schedule & calendar 2015
I have been receiving comments and emails about if and when I would be posting a 2015 Summer Schedule, and it totally took me off guard, because we still have two months of school left. So for all of you lucky ducks that get out in May, I thought I should get this posted now!
I LOVE having this spreadsheet for our summer schedule, and after using it for several years, I can't imagine a summer without it. There is always so much going on--concerts in the park, park days, library story times, ball games----and while we're not going to go to every single one of them, I want to know when they are in case we can go. There just isn't room on my regular calendar for all of that information, plus when you adding swimming lessons, vacations, and summer camps, it's really ridiculous.
20+ best tips, tricks & ideas for flying with a toddler
Flying with a toddler? Try these tips, tricks and ideas to make your trip easier!
I recently took my newly-turned two year little girl on her first plane ride. She joined her sisters and me for a girls' trip out west, and none of us could wait to go! I've flown plenty of times before, but it had been awhile since I had a toddler with me since now there are eight of us, we do most of our family traveling by car.
I think toddlers are in general the hardest age to travel with, but especially flying. Not that they aren't perfectly adorable in every way, but they are at a age where they want to be down, running, and moving, and a plane is probably the most limiting. When you're in a car, you can stop and stretch little legs and take a break, but that's just not always possible on a plane. That said, to make it as easy and stress-free as possible for both toddler and parents, it's good to have a game plan, and plenty of tricks up your sleeve for the trip.
15 Fun & Fabulous Popcorn Recipes
It's no secret that our family loves popcorn. Really, it's more of an obsession. It's almost a daily occurrence at our house, and it's been a long time since I haven't heard "can we have popcorn?". My oldest son might actually totally survive on popcorn alone, he eats so much of it! We add butter and salt most often, but I also love to create and try new popcorn recipes too. Popcorn is really the perfect snack and even dessert! It's wonderful for parties, at home with family, serving to company, as an after school snack, taking to the classroom, dressing up for holidays, packaging up as gifts, and...what movie night is complete without popcorn?
So, I gathered some of the ones I love the best, and the ones on my absolute MUST try list. If you're like me, your mouth will be watering, and you'll head straight to the kitchen to whip up a batch of popcorn after you finish reading!
Picking Berries, Making Jam, and Summer Family Fun!
Our summer days always include reading. I don't think a day passes that we haven't sat down and read together, and I love that we aren't feeling the hustle and bustle of a typical school day afternoon. We also love to have adventures together, and sometimes the two go hand-in-hand. A couple of weeks ago I posted on Paging Supermom (as part of their Books Alive series) about how the two are combined! Reading + Adventures (outdoors and in the kitchen) = Summer Family Fun! They are simple ideas, but those are the best kind! ☺
Our family is in LOVE with the Frances books by Russell Hoban. That Frances is such a character, and we laugh so hard at all of her adventures...or misadventures. One of our particular favorites is Bread and Jam for Frances. The story is darling, and delivers a moral about learning to eat and appreciate different foods. It's definitely one to have on your shelf!
Summer Playlists for Kids & Families
We love music at our house, and you can usually find us rocking out to our favorite tunes while we do the dishes, make dinner, drive in the car, or just because! Summertime means even more time together, whether it's at home hanging out or on the road, and a Summer Playlist is a super fun way to enjoy that time together!
Raspberry Pretzel Bars
Raspberry Pretzel Bars are one of my favorite things on earth. How can you beat a buttery, pretzel-y crust, smothered in a scrumptious cream cheese center, and topped with raspberries and raspberry Jell-O? You really can't. Plus, it's red and white, which makes it very appropriate for 4th of July and patriotic festivities!

10 Fun Summer Hairstyles for Little Girls!
I like to "do" my girls' hair everyday. It's a ritual for us--they each come into my bathroom, and we talk while I do their hair for the day. It's our time together, and one of my very favorite things. My girls have had short hair (a-line bobs) for most of their lives, so our routine has almost always included curling it or blowing it out. Recently one of my girls has decided to grow hers out for ballet--it needs to be longer so it's easier to put back in a ballet bun, and I think she prefers long hair. Her sister still loves short hair, and requests the same swing bob she's had since she was about a year old.
Here in Texas. the summers are HOT and HUMID, and whether you're hair is long or short, it just feels so much better to get it up and off your neck and away from your face. My girls have been asking for different ways to do their hair up, but since I really haven't "done" long hair before, I decided to go out and find some easy, quick summer hairstyles for little girls for both long and short hair. I found some darling styles I can't wait to try, and thought I would share them with you!
Planning a Family Getaway with the HP Pavilion x360
This post is sponsored by HP. All opinions are 100% mine.
Wahoo!! Summer is upon us, and we are counting down the days until school it out. As much as I love structure and routine, but this time of year, I'm craving a little relaxation. It also means it's time for our family to getaway and enjoy time together. Due to our move this summer, we've had to alter our plans a little, and we decided to go on an early getaway before all the craziness hit. Since we moved to Texas not quite two years ago, it's been on our list to visit San Antonio, and finally it's going to happen! When it comes to a family getaway, there is always a lot of planning involved, and the HP Pavilion x360 played a huge part in getting us ready to go!
I'll tell you what, we have fallen in love. All of us. The "red computer" is in high demand every day, and it was invaluable during the planning process--not only in the necessary details, but for the extras too.
I made hotel reservations, debated Six Flags vs. SeaWorld, bought our SeaWorld tickets, checked out restaurants in the area, looked up mileage and driving directions, researched SeaWorld, the Alamo and other things to do that were close by, and covered every base I could think of. What I especially loved, is that I could do this in laptop-style on my couch or sitting at the table, and in tablet-mode in my bed!
Sweet Lemon Water
Summer is almost here, and yummy, cold drinks are perfect to beat the heat. Sweet Lemon Water is one of my favorites, and my go-to drink to serve at any BBQ, party, or gathering. It's incredibly simple to put together, refreshingly light, and absolutely delicious!

Missing Tucker
This was my doggy tucker I had him for 7 years before he was killed. What happen was we had 5 dogs. 2 pit bulls and 1 German Shepard/ husky and 2 lad/rottweiler mixes(they where brothers). Well the 3 mix breeds were in the backyard and two pits bulls were in the garage and they open the door and for some freak reason mauled tucker and killed him. Now my sister took cane one of the pit pulls and the other went to her ex-boyfriend's friend. now I only have two big dogs(Tucker's brother and Shelbie the husky mix) and my new day Sasha. The last pic is her.
aww im so sorry :cry: (((hugs)))
Awww...poor Tucker!
I know what it's like to have a dog taken from you. My Golden Retriever, Abby, was hit by a car when I was about 50 feet behind her. It was so horrible. I screamed my head off.
Anyways, I'm so sorry about Tucker. He was really pretty! Are the other dogs doing okay? I know that my other dog was sad after Abby died.
yea they were sad, my mom is the one who found him and she said that railey his brother was sitting next to his dead body. aww this is making me want to cry.... :cry:

Instances in which it is appropriate to kick another man in the crotch:
• You are the director of quality control at a protective cup manufacturer and you are testing the latest cup model on an employee who is wearing the model and is a former professional stunt man.
• You are an actor starring in a Hollywood movie targeted to 14 year-old boys and, after the script runs dry on actual jokes after nine minutes, your "physical comedy" is required to fill the final 76 minutes of the movie.
• Your friend was born with a rare disorder in which his esophagus extends all the way to his rectum, he is choking on a chunk of turkey and the only way to perform the Heimlich maneuver, dislodge the turkey and save his life is to kick him in the crotch.
• Due to an unfortunate chain saw accident, you are left with no arms and just a single leg. You are being mugged in the street by an armed attacker, so you jump-kick him in the crotch and then hop away to safety.
• You are hiking in the rainforest with a friend and you see out of the corner of your eye that a deadly spider has crawled onto his crotch and is about to sink in its fangs for a fatal bite.
• A much larger man has picked a fight with you in the street and says he wants to kill you. (Note: this man must be the size of the Hulk of recent "Avengers" fame or larger in order for a crotch kick to be acceptable.)
Instances in which it is NEVER appropriate to kick another man in the crotch:
• You are a 6-foot-4, 307-pound, 25-year-old NFL defensive tackle with arms the size of the average human's leg, who is dressed in a helmet and pads.

Financing and Investment Efficiency, Information Quality, and Accounting Biases

UIC College of Business Administration Research Paper No. 10-14
In this paper, we investigate the effect of accounting biases on firms' financing decisions and the role of accounting biases in endogenous information quality. We show that in industries with generally low-profit prospects, a downward-biased accounting system performs better than a neutral accounting system, and a more downward bias helps mitigate both investment and financing inefficiency; while for industries with generally high-profit prospects, an upward-biased accounting system is better than a neutral accounting system, and a more upward bias helps improve financing efficiency. In addition, we find that a more downward-biased accounting system motivates good firms to exert more effort to improve the information quality, which improves overall efficiency.
