Fantastic book for early game developmen
By siberian

About Me Developer, Maker
Comments about oreilly Building HTML5 Games with ImpactJS:
My 8yo and I worked through the examples in a 3 day intensive session and now he is off and running and creating some awesome, fun, games!The great thing about this book is that it explains the entire WORKFLOW of game development. Sprites, Photoshop, Weltmeister, Impact.js.. the works!The $99 for Weltmeister was unexpected but it was well worth the investment!I can't wait to see what we come up with next, this book has opened an entirely new world to my son and his programming adventure. Tx!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great overview of Impact.js
By Blair
from Vancouver, BC
About Me Developer
I purchased this book for one reason: It was cheap, and I wanted to see some examples of the impact.js API in action. I was considering buying a license for impact.js, but wasn't ready to do so until I could see some real world code examples and then determine if I liked the API.This book served the purpose I was looking for. It was a quick read with easy to understand examples of the impact.js API. I read it in about two hours, and it gave a great overview of the impact.js API.After reading I decided the buy the impact.js license and I was able to start creating games right away.

FANTASTIC Introduction to HTML5 Game Dev
By Jayson Potter
from Seattle, WA
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator, Maker
Giving a 1 star review is not helpful just because you don't like the fact you you will need some tools. Yes, if you want to follow the contents of this book you will need to purchase a license of ImpactJS. More details at: http://impactjs.com/ You also do not HAVE to purchase an IDE. Jesse Freeman offers suggestions to free editors and you can always use ANY text editor to write JavaScript. Finally anyone who thinks they are going to make graphics without an image editor is naive. Now onto the book. The real reason for a good review. This book was VERY helpful. I was able to go through this whole book without issue because the information is extremely useful. I made a copy of resident raver, the main goal of the book, and it worked on all platforms that support canvas. I don't offer this review as a 5 star review, because the title IS misleading. Although it covers concepts that apply outside of the ImpactJS engine it still heavily focus' only on side scrolling game types and centric to ImpactJS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY ONE INTERESTED IN GAME DEVELOPMENT.

Misleading title
By Onizuka89
from Fredrikstad, Norway
The title doesn't mention that it's going to be using ImpactJS, which actually should have been in the title of the book, since that's what the book is about. After reading this book, you won't be able to make a game without ImpactJS, which in my opinion doesn't qualify as "HTML5 Game Development", but rather "HTML 5 Game development using ImpactJS".The book "Getting started with CoffeeScript" did the title right, although it uses HTML5 for game development just as much as ImpactJS, it actually tell you that it is a book about CoffeeScript, not "Introduction to HTML5 Game development".The lack of this in the title gives a second drawback as well, you actually need to get your hands on ImpactJS, to use the book, although it was not mentioned at all in the title, and a $99 price tag for something you must have to use the book, but isn't mentioned in the title makes you feel a bit tricked. Still, the book itself is good enough, if one get ones hand on ImpactJS. It's a bit short, but it seem to cover what you need to know to use the basic of ImpactJS.I would maybe have recommended it to a friend, if ImpactJS wasn't needed, or wasn't priced as highly as it is.
Merchant response: Thank you for your feedback about the title and the book. The author and editor appreciate the thoughts that you and other reviewers shared with us, and they've updated the title and description to clarify what this book is about.I'm sorry that the book wasn't what the title led you to expect, and I want to make sure you know that we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

By Muzietto

About Me Designer, Developer
What will you need to follow?:- 99$ for the game engine- 99$ for the IDE- $$$ for Adobe Photoshop (you are graciously informed that GIMP can handle the job too, but please help yourself!)This book is paid advertisement, paid by ME. I am really disappointed. I'm gonna ask ORE a refund.

Misleading Title
By kjgough
from Wales, UK
This may well be a very well written and useful book for those interested in developing using the, commercial, Impact framework. However the title is extremely misleading, it is not a general introduction to HTML5 Game Development and even the subtitle ('Developing Games With Impact') is only particularly meaningful if you know that Impact is a JavaScript framework.There may well be a lot of useful information for Impact developers here but I think that the title has been chosen to try and broaden the books appeal and to sell to those, like me, who were daft enough not to do enough research.

Should add Impact to the title
By Sku
from HK
The title and the description are misleading. It should at least tell you that you'll have to shelf off another $99 to get Impact before getting this book.
Beware, assumes you own $99 ImpactJS
By KM
from USA
Excellent if you know what you're buying
By GaryB
from Leesburg, VA
This is an excellent book on game development. Let's get it out of the way right up front that it is THE reference to use if you want to build games using the ImpactJS framework. The author goes through development of a real game in great detail, step-by-step. When you get done, you will KNOW how to build a game using ImpactJS. The only (slight) criticism I can offer is that I think some of the examples are not very good programming practice. One example is the use of entities for explosions: every bit in the explosion is its own entity. This works, and it's instructive, but my, that's a LOT of entities to create. You want to keep your entity count down; in any reasonably complex real-world game you'll be struggling with the number of entities and game performance.Some might think the title a bit misleading, as it focuses primarily on the ImpactJS game framework. I can't really argue with that, as most of the book will not be directly applicable to HTML5 game development using other frameworks or (heaven forbid) no framework at all.However, in the book's defense, it does provide two helps to non-ImpactJS users. First, it has a lot on general best practices in game development. Subjects like the asset pipeline, game analytics, and mobile device considerations are applicable no matter what your framework, and the author spends a decent amount of time on all subjects and more. Second, everything that ImpactJS does, other frameworks will need to do too. So even if they don't do it in exactly the same way, those functions will have to be there.

Sashiko-Stitched Vest
Item #25613
Sale Price: $34.99
Original Price: $80.00
- Description
- Reviews
This stylish Sashiko-Stitched Vest is an artistic fusion of two cultures—Japanese and Guatemalan. While the beautiful Sashiko stitchery and the intricate Sagaiha (wave) design originated in 18th-century Japan, the garment-dyed vest is made in present-day Guatemala. A textile work of art, the interlocking wave pattern is hand-drawn on each garment before the embroidery can begin; each vest takes hours to complete. 100% cotton. Imported. Relaxed fit to wear over blouses or sweaters. Relaxed fit, runs large.
Museum Provenance
Our vibrant Sashiko-Stitched Vest showcases a form of Japanese folk embroidery, sashiko, which uses a basic running stitch to create a repeating pattern of geometric designs. The meaning of sashiko, little stabs, references the small stitches in this needlework style, originally used to repair worn clothing or to create double-layer coats. In the 18th century, the sashiko technique became an esteemed textile art form whose traditional motifs were inspired by nature. Similarly worked fabrics are held in our National Museum of American History's exceptional textile collections.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

You & Your Hormones is the official public information website of the Society for Endocrinology
Endocrine conditions are medical conditions that occur when the endocrine system does not function correctly. The endocrine system is the system in the body which produces hormones to provide an internal communication system between cells located in distant parts of the body.Endocrine conditions can be due to three main causes: 1) Underproduction of a certain hormone; 2) Overproduction of a certain hormone; 3) A malfunction in the production line of a hormone or in its ability to function correctly.There are many factors which cause the endocrine system to stop working properly. Some endocrine conditions are due to a benign growth in the affected gland or when the cells in that gland stop functioning properly, while others are caused by genetic factors.

This is one of the best explanations as to why movies suck. I thought id share it. One line. bolded I think sums it all up....
Here's something unpleasant: Art comes from demons. Not real demons, in most cases, but demons of angst and horrible memories and sexual frustration. You get beat up in school because, while the cool kids are putting bruises on each other on the football field, you were sitting on the steps writing your science-fiction stories. That fear and tension that winds itself around your soul like steel wire as you try nervously to sneak out of the locker room before the big kids give you a Wedgie and a T$ttie-Twister and a Dirty Sanchez, all that builds up into adulthood. Art is how you let it out.
It was an angsty bastard who introduced Han Solo to the world by showing him ruthlessly blowing the face off a mafia bill collector, shooting him from under the table and then cooly walking away and paying his tab. Lucas introduced Obi-Wan Kenobi by having him end a bar fight by slicing a guy's arm off.
Lucas didn't flinch at the thought of blowing up the peaceful planet of Alderaan and killing billions. None of this was gratuitous; it told us the story and what the stakes were.
Angst drives it. Now, if the artist is lucky, that angst goes away. If the audience is lucky, it doesn't. The art dies with the angst, you see. By middle age the artist finds himself watching his old films and trying to make ones that sort of look the same, or trying to make films his children can watch. It gets bland. It's not just with movies, you can start to see this happening with Eminem. As he gets his life together his songs sound more and more like remixes and covers of the old ones. He'll never do Bonnie & Clyde again.

Shower Stool
Good shower stools must do more than simply support your weight. Even simple, durable medical equipment such as these should offer a wide range of features, from grip bars to rubber tips and more. The best of them even include generous waterproof upholstery that allows you to rest your full weight on the device without fear of bruising.
Why invest in a shower stool at all? A number of studies have proven that these bathroom devices can cut a considerable swath through one of the greatest statistical spikes in home injury. It is a sad but true fact that more accidents occur in the shower than anywhere else, and standing on your own two feet in a low-friction environment may rightly be considered an invitation to calamity.
We offer truly substantive solutions here, from grip bars and commodes to non-stick surfacing and more. Whatever your needs, you should be able to find a host of devices here that make your bathroom a far more inviting place. The shower stools we sell can even be purchased in tandem with similar devices such as bath seats which provide a comprehensive solution against falls.
If you want to learn more about the many clever safety devices we carry every day here, please feel free to look around the site. We have made it easy to browse and research any product you see fit with a simple interface and helpful photos. If you still have questions or simply want to consult an experienced pro, write us anytime at email@example.com. We are ready and willing to assist you with all of your shower stool and disabled equipment needs.

The entire list
13 March 2009, Baskent TV
ADNAN OKTAR:... But first of all A MUSLIM COUNTRY, IT IS UNLAWFUL ACCORDING OF OUR TENET, A MUSLIM COUNTRY CAN NOT USE ATOM BOMB. That is because in the case of an atom bomb, it is unlikely to discriminate between the right andunjust. For instance once a bomb is dropped on a city, you also kill the Muslims and the pious residing there; you kill whoever exists there. Islam by no means allow this. Disbelievers are discerned, so do the Muslims. A time is granted. Then, of necessity, a fight is made for defense. Therefore, EMPLOYING ATOM BOMB IS IN ANY EVENT UNLAWFUL. IT IS UNLAWFUL ALSO IN IRAN, THAT IS, IT IS ALSO UNLAWFUL ACCORDING TI THE CREED OF JAFERITES. THEY CAN IN NO CASE USE ATOM BOMB. That is why America also does not think [that Iran will use atom bomb]…Iran wants to generate nuclear energy and it is entitled to do it. Why would one meddle with it? What is wrong with it? For instance uranium; it obtains enriched uranium; that is, the type of uranium that it can use. And it uses it. It is very weird to ask it not to use it. A very weird belief. This is one evidence that is sufficient by itself. THAT IS, ACCORDING TO ISLAM ATOM BOMB IS UNLAWFUL. THERE IS NO OTHER THING TO DO OTHER THAN THIS. THEY ARE PIOUS PEOPLE. WHY WOULD THEY USE ATOM BOMB?
…It is unlawful in Islam. It is not possible. Demolishing an entire city; that is not possible…

What's New Wednesday: Sephora Exclusives
I should just call this feature "Shut Up and Take My Money", because every week when I'm putting this together I end up with new stuff in my cart.
Here's what I'm lusting after this week:
I tracked this fragrance down in the office so I could smell it, and to my surprise it was light, summery, and not syrupy sweet. And the bottle is so stinkin' cute I can't even handle it.
Lancome ÉNERGIE DE VIE Dullness Relief & Energy Recharge Daily Lotion
Have you ever heard of "liquid essence"? Me neither. But I tried a little in a meeting (yes, sometimes we slather on products in meetings) and loved how soft it made my skin feel. Besides, they had me at "inspired by the latest Chinese beauty rituals".
Josie Maran Argan Lip & Cheek Color Stick Set
Four easy, multipurpose colors for a wash of color on the go. These puppies are just begging to be thrown in my beach bag!
What are you loving that's new on the site this week? Show & Tell!
See what else is new and exclusive> http://seph.me/11DmNWm
Honey reminds me of a more summery Dot...and while it's not brand new, I just tried the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, and it's really nice. Good brush/ formula, full, non-clumpy lashes, and so far it's staying on pretty well.
I caved and got Honey by Marc Jacobs today. Thanks to Jason from Water Tower place for awesome customer service!
The Too Faced Lip Injection Color Bombs!
I can't wait to try these in person, especially the Eastwood Red!
I had the new Dior CC spray in my cart yesterday. Talked myself out of it though. Also looking forward to trying the Lip Injection Color Bombs!
Another vote here for the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara.
I adore Honey's bottle, but the scent just isn't doing it for me (sadly). I have that Josie Maran set on my wishlist- and I'm intrigued by that Lancome lotion. Look at Canadace enabling me!
Yup gotta give the Too Faced Better than Sex 2 thumbs up! Love it!!
I didn't really like the Honey scent idk maybe it just didn't go with my body chemistry...
Not a "product" per se, but I'm really excited about Sephora Skincare IQ, on the site and nationwide in stores!!
Okay I lied, I found more that I MUST HAVE:
Dior Airflash Matte Touche (a mattifying makeup setting spray? SOLD.)
and the Smashbox Liquid Halo HD Foundation
and the Smashbox Try It Kit Halo + BB which has a brush, powder, CC Cream and mini halo powder!

What is Contract Management?
Contract management is a profession that includes many positions along the buying and selling chain, including jobs within the federal government, industry, commercial businesses, academia, and more.
Contract management professionals strive to:
– Manage customer and supplier expectations and relationships,
– Control risk and cost, and
– Contribute to organizational success.
Contract management integrates a broad set of business disciplines and involves working closely with all areas and departments within an organization.
Watch this quick YouTube video to learn more about the profession:
Check out the infographic from the end of the video!
Is procurement the same as contract management?
Procurement and contract management are actually mirror images of each other. Both professions describe the broader process of sales or acquisition between two parties. Some objectives of buyers and sellers are distinctly different, while others are surprisingly similar. A mutually beneficial contract can often be challenging to craft. Buyers want the lowest price, whereas sellers want to maximize it. Both, however, should strive to meet one another's quality, delivery, and performance expectations. Working together, they form a group of professionals under the "procurement" umbrella.
Procurement consists of evaluation and selection of suppliers based on availability, reliability, and price to obtain the highest quality products at the lowest price. Buyers attend trade shows and conferences and they visit suppliers' plants to examine products and stay abreast of industry trends. They must develop a working technical knowledge of the goods or services they buy. Often, they forge a strong working relationship with their supplier counterparts—the contract managers—to optimize the outcome for both parties.
Contract management is a niche within the procurement profession, but it spans a very broad spectrum in terms of the responsibilities assigned to a contract manager. The job scope ranges from the administrative skills of managing, organizing, and planning, to the excitement and challenge of negotiating a major contract.
Both procurement and contract management demand competence in such areas as contract law, administration, accounting, psychology, management, and planning. For more details on who contract managers are and what they do, read more about the skills you will need in the profession.

lets hope some sence comes back to netgame .com!!!! 1. If you want players to be able to sell credit card items, other players have to be able to get items to sell at npc's and to do this they need to be able to craft items. 2.Gm's ban players for buying game cash from online sites but do nothing about these people from selling it in game. 3.Trying to hide the lowering the success rate on upgrading and crafting items with an event won't work, adding more expensive charms to the credit it card shop that help with this is kind of a giveaway. 4. Whatever happened to matanence you could set a clock by? 5. Many, many items that players receive have not and will not be incorparated into the game this is just a few points of many you should think about before starting an account. It might say it's free to play, but if you want get past the half way point of player lvls you will need to spent money and lots of it.
So in short this game is barely worth playing.
And is game is becoming little more than a credit card scamm

I tend to think Hicks as a podium finisher will be bumped up to senior either way. Siraj, young as she is, has been around forever and it seems time for her to move up. Miller and Wang are newer and finishing 9th and 10th I imagine them going back to JGP, but their top 24 SB score makes it tempting to move up. Not sure how much of it is their decision vs. USFS.

I picked up a type 99 arisaka a few months ago, mums ground but its not sporterized, late war, peep site, no cleaning rod provisions, but still has a steeel butt plate. Price of ammo is crazy, thinking of throwing it out on backpage to see if I can trade it for a couple of nagant rifles or a SKS.
Does that sound like a trade someone would consider? I know the nagants can be had for 80 bucks from aim surplus.
Im not trying to put a ad here in this post, its strictly a question of is a fair trade if I can find someone willing to swap. Or should I just keep the cool old japanese rifle, even though I'll probably never buy ammo for it? (already have a nagant, and 2 turk mausers for bolt actions and 3 AK's but no SKS's since I traded my last one). jim

no one is immune to prejudice. i almost believe the desire to feel superior is a form of human nature.
firms do not "hire the best candidate." in the auto industry we hire to "meet our numbers". we have to hire the appropriate employee racial / ethnic mix or face audits and fines by the EEOC. we have to go out and curry favor with universities and colleges that concentrate on "minority" students in order to prove we are attempting to avoid discrimination in hiring. so much of it is defensive activity.
as long as there are j.jacksons and a.sharptons running around in the media there will be a focus on and perpetuation of discrimination. think of it all as a business. if j.jackson's operation-push went out of business because there was no discrimination and no stories in the press, what would j.jackson and his staff do for a living? get a job? yea, right.
think of organizations like operation-push or the naacp as corporate hierarchies and their minority members as employees. it is the nature of organizations to grow not wither or willingly put themselves out of business. it's an industry, just like united way, march-of-dimes, etc. think of all the people who would be out of jobs if and when a cure for cancer/diabetes/discrimination is found.
and while i'm at it, i am tired of someone trying to make me feel guilty and paying welfare to people who feel it's there "job" to be poor. did i force their kids to drop out of school before graduation? did i beat down on them if they got good grades? did i make them think they could make their millions in sports, on the street, as a rapper or as a dj? am i responsible for cramming the thug culture down their throats and setting them apart from the mainstream? did i force that teenage girl to get pregnant, drop out of school and then have several more fatherless children that are supported by me because the baby-mama has to take care of the kids and cannot work. i think not.
history lessons in school taught me about the melting-pot concept in the early 1900's. for the life of me i cannot see how all those non-english speaking immigrants made it in america without a national organization for the advancement of polish/german/irish/slavic/asian/dutch/etc people!
if you look at today's asian and arabic groups in u.s., they seem to be doing ok without a lot of public whining. they depend on and support each other. there's a living lesson here that no one important wants to learn from.

[T]he National Day of Reason is about taking time to improve our communities. Every year, events are held on this day that demonstrate the desire of secular Americans to help their fellow citizens and our nation as a whole. Community service events, such as food drives and blood drives, are just some of the ways that people will be working to help those in need on the Day of Reason and throughout the year. I encourage everyone to join in observing this day and focusing upon the employment of reason, critical thinking, the scientific method, and free inquiry to improve our world and our nation.

Former NFL RB rips his former GM
When Ahman Green signed a four-year, $23 million deal with the Houston Texans in 2007, much was expected from the veteran running back, even based on his injury history.
Green was reunited with his former head coach with the Green Bay Packers, Mike Sherman, who became the Texans offensive coordinator that season.
Green, who turned 30 early that year, had missed 16 games due to injury the previous two seasons, so it was surprising that the Texans would sign him to such a lucrative contract considering his injury history and age. And running backs tend to be on the decline in their late 20's.
Green, who was recently released by the CFL's Montreal Alouettes, wound up missing 10 games during the 2007 and was asked to restructure his contract for the next season. He earned $8 million in the first season, but had his base salary cut from $3.8 million to $1.8 million for the next season.
According to Green, Texans general manager Rick Smith actually asked him if he was faking injury during his first season with the team.
"Rick Smith called me into his office, and he didn't know how to start the conversation so he just went right out and said it. He asked me straight up. 'Ahman are you faking your injury?' And I kind of took a step back. It was like a wow. This was probably the biggest eye-opening thing I ever experienced in my professional career," Green told 1560 The Game in Houston earlier this week.
Green said that he was so incensed after Smith asked him that question, he called his agent, Joby Branion, to get him out of Houston.
Assuming Green is telling the truth, no executive should ever question a player's toughness, or, even worse, if he's faking injury. That's a strict no-no in the NFL world. You can push a player to try to practice or to play, but in the end, it's up to the player to see if he's able to contribute or not.

This year Tiberius Arms will sponsor a new twist that is being added to Viper Paintball events. Viper will be adding special "First Strike" sniper missions to every event. These missions can only be completed by the designated "First Strike Sniper" on each team.
Tiberius Arms is making this possible by providing two Tiberius T9 sniper markers. One will be checked out to a sniper on each side for their use during the event, along with a case of Tiberius Arms' exclusive "First Strike" ammo. "First Strike" rounds are specially designed paintball rounds that fly farther, flatter, and straighter than any other paintball ammo available.
To apply for this coveted position you must first register for the event. Once you have registered you may contact Viper with your qualifications and background. The special "First Strike Sniper" missions must be completed by the designated "First Strike Sniper" who may be accompanied only by his "spotter" so the applicant must have the experience, skills, and determination to complete these missions.
The "First Strike Snipers" will be chosen two weeks prior to the event, and their names will be posted on the Viper forums at www.viperpaintball.com
You can find out more about Tiberius Arms, their markers, and their exclusive First Strike rounds go to tiberiusarms.com

Moderators: stumpjumper, MossyGO!
Pete-pec wrote:Totally agree with the last statement. The biggest bird I ever shot was 26 pounds. The beard was very thick (I'm talking 3 times thicker than a normal one) and was 11 inches, however the spurs were smaller than 3/4 inches. This bird actually grew some big spurs, but only when it came to diameter. They were very thick, but came to a small blunt point. The terrain here has some limestone, but plenty of soft soil as well. Can you take a spur and cross-cut it and count the annual rings like a fish or a tree? Could the bird I harvested have been a two year old bird? Maybe, but he must have had one of the best grasshopper diets that any one bird could have had. :rofl:
I will however make this one statement. If you shoot a bird with hooks approaching or surpassing the 1 inch mark, you can be assured that he was at least 3 years old. I however don't think that spurs at the 3/4 inch mark necessarily mean it's only a two year old bird either. I'm happy any time I shoot an adult bird, just like everyone else, and most importantly, we really don't start to take measurements until the bird has stopped flopping on the ground, and spur length, beard length and the weight of the bird are all just measurements, and a bonus to the hunt. I think we all will agree that the true measurement is the thrill of the hunt, and the agony of defeat.

Re: Boat Candidate options wanted
With a max of $200k, you certainly have some options in new boats from the big production builders, but you will loose more selling it after 5 years of cruising. Those 5 years, "should" however be free of big expenditure and needed upgrades versus used boats.
I agree with Chef on this:1998 Pacific Seacraft Ericson 380 Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com.
This would be a very nice cruiser, if you can budge on the draft:

Re: Boat Candidate options wanted
The original poster said, " I would love to have it as small as possible. The further under 40' the happier I would be." Most responding seem to ignore his size criteria which are very sensible indeed. Bigger boats have the potential drive older cruisers out of sailing faster than would be the case if they were sailing more moderately sized vessels. This guy is 65 years old. How long do you expect him to hoist a 350 sq ft mainsail, or a 33 lb anchor? Several older friends have been overwhelmed by the demands of the bigger boats -- expensive maintenance and strength demands -- and dropped out of sailing altogether. OTOH, I know couples in their eighties who continue to cruise for months each year aboard a J/28 and a Sabre 34.
If the OP had said, "I'm looking for a comfortable, midsize car" would you suggest a 2T FWD dump truck with an extended cab?

He posted in another thread the pro and cons of buying newer ( with less wear and tear but already depreciated) vrs older with replacement costs and upgrades necessary right away. he obviously decided on newer
What is available are some nice cruisers which are suitable for his purpose, I like the 38 ft Catalinas the best. All are production boats
The 36 CC Beneteay I dont think will suit your purpse. It is OK as a Bay boat. It is ponderously slow, and the sea motion is not gentle. My freind 2 slips from me has one. You are virtually 24 ft from the bow at the helm.
If you are willing to go another 3- 5 years out, production boats still quality and it opens up the 40 fters.
David I know you can handle a 40 ft easily and the added length and weight will give you icreased comfort at sea, anchor and more tankage.
I still prefer the Catalina

It seems a lot like musical chairs.
So I can't answer that question exactly.
It is apparently ultimately a crap shoot. New is no guarantee, brand is no guarantee, surveys miss a lot, Refits can be problematic.
I'm just trying to stack the deck in my favor.
If I could spend 200k sail for 3 years and sell the boat for 200k that would be a much better deal in my opinion than buying a boat for 50k putting three years and 100 into it and selling for 50k after 6 years.
But you never know. I might spend 200k still have to put 100k into it and sell for 100k. The worst of both worlds. That last plan would devastate me financially. I would never recover.
What I'm getting at is that I'm 62 my father is still alive and healthy. I want to be as prudent as possible so I can still have fun but not end up penniless.
My problem is that I'm not wealthy enough so I can afford to loose a couple hundred k.
But I have enough resources so I could if necessary buy a boat in a wide range of cost categories.
That makes the choices harder in my opinion.
At some point we all have to take our chances or not, there are no guarantees in life.
I figure there is nothing wrong in looking before leaping however.

Eighty percent of smarthphone users access retail content on their devices and Walmart is the third most popular destination, according to research from comScore Mobile Metrix 2.0.
The firm's study found that 4 in every 5 smartphone users – 85.9 million in total – accessed retail content on their device in July. That figure is only going to increase, especially in the coming months as this year promises to be the most mobile Christmas yet.
Amazon sites led as the top retailer with an audience of 49.6 million visitors, while multi-channel retailers that attracted large audiences included Apple (17.7 million visitors), Wal-Mart (16.3 million visitors), Target (10 million visitors) Best Buy (7.2 million visitors) Ticketmaster (5.7 million visitors) Home Depot (4.4 million visitors) and Lowes (3.2 million visitors).
"With nearly 86 million Americans now shopping on their smartphones, this pronounced shift in consumer behavior is simply too large for retailers to ignore, with the future of their business depending on how well they adapt to the new environment," said Mark Donovan, comScore SVP of mobile. "But adapting isn't always easy, especially when considering the complexity of the mobile environment, which requires optimizing the experience across multiple platforms and for both mobile websites and apps. The retailers who best understand how consumers are engaging in mobile shopping behaviors and design their strategies accordingly will be best positioned to capitalize on these shifting market dynamics."
As mobile becomes an increasingly important channel for retailers to reach current and potential customers, other companies are recognizing the opportunity smartphones present throughout the shopping process. Shopkick, a shopping rewards app that provides points for consumers who visit retail partners' physical stores such as Target, Macy's, Best Buy, etc., saw its mobile audience reach more than 4 million visitors in July, demonstrating one way consumers are turning to their mobile devices as part of their in-store shopping experience.

JLink on virtual Linux server: Cannot createKernelLink
I met a problem with JLink. The following code from the example do not
open the link:
KernelLink ml = MathLinkFactory.createKernelLink("-linkmode launch -
linkname 'math -mathlink'");
The result: MathLinkException occurred: Connected MathLink program has
closed the link, but there might still be data underway.
This code works ok:
ml = MathLinkFactory.createKernelLink(argv);
but I cannot (via some reasons) pass the following command line data:
java -classpath .:../../JLink.jar SampleProgram -linkmode launch -
linkname 'math -mathlink'
Can anybody help or suggest something?

The college gridiron has returned, and with it a plethora of big names all competing for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Now it's your chance to put your knowledge to the test!
Looking for more ESPN Fantasy Games? Play Capital One Bowl Mania, our college football bowl pick'em game, and compete for a chance to win $1,000,000! Just pick all 42 bowl games correctly!
It's no surprise that Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State are all pre-season title contenders, but with programs like Michigan and LSU seemingly on the verge of a return to prominence and with others such as Oklahoma and Florida State right in the mix, the competition will be fierce.
Each week we'll list 10 matchups from the slate of College Football games to choose from, some more evenly matched than others. It's up to you to pick the winners, so if you see one of the programs listed above as an option throughout the season they are probably worthy of serious consideration.
Here's a breakdown of the two formats:
Straight-Up: Pick the teams from the 10 listed matchups that you feel are most likely to win. Correct picks earn you points towards your season total.
Confidence: Here you're not only picking the winners of each matchup, you're RANKING each selection you make based on how confident you are. Your most confident pick will be assigned 10 Points while the least will be assigned 1, placing an added emphasis on getting those top picks correct.
You can create an entry in BOTH the straight-up and confidence versions of College Pick'em, each boasting a $2000 Amazon Gift Card to the contestant who scores the most points throughout the season.
We're also offering a $100 weekly prize for that segment's top competitor in both formats so you're never out of the running for a nice payday. To help you along the way be sure to check out ESPN Chalk for all your research needs. Good luck and have fun!

Grown Up Coffee Table
33 comments:
This new table is gorgeous - definitely very grown up! I like how you styled it and even though it's big enough to have books and flowers on it, you can still walk around it. It goes very well with your overall style and decor.ReplyDelete
Its a beautiful table, anything mirrored always gets my attention! Great update!ReplyDelete
My leather sofas aren't my favorite. I didn't even want to buy them, but they still look new after nine years and three boys. I clean up spills and peel crusty things off them daily. At least it comes clean! One day I'll have a fluffy white couch...ReplyDelete
Yes, hold on to that glider! My Chloe is almost four and she just asked us to move the glider back into her room. She loves sitting there on her own, 'reading' a book.ReplyDelete
I like your new coffee table and its delicate proportions. Such a nice grown up space.
I have these horrid, ugly slipcovers on the couch. They're brown so they won't show the dirt and I hate them. I should have just gotten ones I like and risked the stains...so I can't wait to be rid of them in a few years!ReplyDelete
i was eyeing this table too! love it and looks fantastic in your living room!ReplyDelete
When my daughters were young, it was all about them. The furniture had to be scrutinized before it was brought in to make sure they couldn't crack their head on a corner. I moved the coffee table to the wall until they were close to Kindergarten. We do, as mothers, what we have to do. Your living room looks fantastic!ReplyDelete
I really like it, Megan. It adds such a light and airy feel to the room. It's always bittersweet replacing the "baby" furniture.ReplyDelete
Love the leather ottoman!ReplyDelete
Your new table looks fabulous! Coffee tables have been on my mind lately, as we still have the Pottery Barn "train table" to store all the toys. Even though I painted it, it still feels juvenile to me. Now I just can't decide between an upholstered ottoman or an actual table. I bet you love having something PRETTY instead of childproof. ;-)
I like it - adds aesthetic appeal so everything is not so square matchy-matchy as before. Also, rock your baby as long as he will let you - those moments are to be cherished. :) Hold on to that glider! LOL www.styleoyster.blogspot.comReplyDelete
I freaking love it. Gorgeous & the perfect size (I'm not a fan of monstrous coffee tables that one can land a plane on).ReplyDelete
You must have read my mind b/c I've been agonizing (drama queen, wonder where Quinn gets it from) over a "grown-up" coffee table too but w/ a toddler tearing thru the house, it's a battle of safety over design-worthy. Worth the wait! (Coffee table & child, ha.)
Love the new table! I am all about safety for little ones, but I was also that parent that refused to move things just because we had children. They need to grow up respecting things, and learn what is off limits. I wanted to be able to take them to relatives and friends homes and not have to worry about them breaking things or horse playing where it was not appropriate.ReplyDelete
You're space is beautiful. I love everything! Is that paint in the back of your built-ins? I have a dark entertainment center & have been thinking of changing the backs with a lighter color via wallpaper or material.ReplyDelete
I love the new table! I am just starting the baby proofing here so my journey into soft, cushy leather ottomans is about to begin! My little guy just turned 1 and already peels the rubbery things for the corners off so it's time for the soft ottoman. I really like the size of your old one, do you have a link for it?ReplyDelete
I love the mirrored look! I would have loved to get mirrored end tables when we moved this past summer, but with small children (and I don't foresee an end to that any time soon ;) I was nervous to commit to that! I've seen many broken mirrored pieces in Homegoods, so just doesn't seem like something so practical :(ReplyDelete
I think I will cry when we get rid of our glider…spit up stains and all.ReplyDelete
Oh and that Ethan Allen table so swoon worthy. You did a nice job duplicating the look for less.
Your newest follower,
The coffee table is beautiful! I love the oval shape!!ReplyDelete
Love it! Since we have two babies I don't even have a coffee table, but am about to go the baby safe ottoman route! Ha!ReplyDelete
I tried to sell my daughter's rocker but she said she wanted to keep it in her room forever. It is pretty cute - pink chenille - but I thought maybe she had outgrown it at age 6. Guess not - she still lets me hold her and rock her from time to time.ReplyDelete
So funny...I was thinking that we need to get an ottoman soon for when E starts walking! Though I would LOVE to get this beauty instead!!ReplyDelete
No baby furniture left. My girls are 7 and 4, and yet I'm still holding off on reupholstering the dining room chairs.ReplyDelete
I did like the ottoman, but the new table is very pretty and opens up the space. I could not tell it was oval until the close up picture. I have no more baby furniture, mine are getting ready to turn 8 and 10. I still rock my littlest in our recliner when he needs extra love and attention.ReplyDelete
The new table is amazing. We are a few steps behind you, currently searching for a baby safe ottoman. In a few years, we'll replace it with a pretty glass one too! Your room looks great!ReplyDelete
It looks really great in there!!!ReplyDelete
haha, such a timely post! I've been searching for a new coffee table for our living room and am debating about something "baby friendly" , it's such a hard decision!ReplyDelete
I love how the pretty round, adult coffee table looks in your space, it's perfect!
I prefer a round or oval table with a sectional, it gives you more walkway room. But of course I love your table, I used the side table version in front of my settee lol http://www.cre8tivedesignsinc.com/2012/03/tufted-settee-gets-a-new-home/ Your so grown up now! But I was hoping for another little James one day darn it.ReplyDelete
Nice choice! Kids can learn to be gentle. As long as they have their own space where they can be rough and tumble, then they can act with more care in the "adult space." That's my policy anyway. :)ReplyDelete
Love the room. Your style is impeccable! Any idea who the manufacturer is on the leather ottoman? I need to toddler proof for my crazy man! I love the non tufted style. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm not sure of the manufacturer of the ottoman. I remember I got in from Overstock.com.Delete
Okay so I know this blog is about the table but I would like to know where you got that couch!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Our couch is from Pottery Barn.Delete
Where is the couch from??? I LOVE it!ReplyDelete

The campus is the first in the nation to receive an outdoor deployment of this technology. The recently installed small cell units improve 4G LTE coverage in high-traffic areas and hard-to-reach locations. Verizon Wireless customers on Spencer Hill campus can expect to see improvement in both data performance and indoor coverage.
Small cells are part of Verizon Wireless' strategy to stay ahead of the growing demand for mobile data, which Cisco predicts will increase 18-fold between 2011 and 2016. With demand increasing, staying ahead by increasing capacity becomes vital. One solution is the installation of small cell technology in high-usage areas. In addition to college campuses, Verizon Wireless plans to use small cells to improve coverage in heavily trafficked venues including malls, business districts, and stadiums.
Small cells are smaller than conventional cell towers, ranging in size from a cooler to a small fridge, and cover a smaller area. By strategically placing these small units, Verizon Wireless is able to enhance its coverage in select areas within its existing coverage footprint. Small cells as currently deployed by Verizon Wireless improve data transmission (texting, email, web browsing) for its customers, or other wireless users who roam on the Verizon Wireless network.
For more information on Verizon's small cell technology, visit verizonwireless.com/news/article/2013/05/4G-LTE-network-small-cells.html.

"The mission of Luminance Recovery Centers is to provide safe, transformative, client-centered and cost-effective recovery services to men and women suffering from drug and alcohol addiction and the effects of emotional trauma."
"Partaking in a drug and/or alcohol detox program is vital for substance abusers to regain health and to promote physical and mental well-being. Substance abuse obviously causes damage to one's body and the physical repercussions can be very concerning. However, the Get Real Recovery drug and alcohol detox program has been specifically designed to cleanse the body of alcohol and drugs through medical and holistic therapies. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) in 2013, an estimated 22.7 million Americans (8.6 percent) needed treatment for a problem related to drugs or alcohol. This is quite a staggering number, however, it is reassuring to know that you are not alone and many people enter our drug and alcohol detox to leave feeling renewed and refreshed."

"Choosing the right medical detox center can make all the difference when it comes to one's long-term success in sobriety. Whether you're a drug addict, alcoholic or struggling with dual-diagnosis matters, the Valley Detox Center program has been shown to be among Southern California's leading facilities!

More important however, is the fact that VDC offers a highly experienced and acclaimed clinical staff. We provide medically assisted detoxification for all substance abuse matters, which also includes the use of Suboxone, Subutex and Naltrexone therapies."
"At the Lakehouse Recovery Center, we view each client from a unique perspective, one which is entirely focused on long-term success in sobriety! This is more than just another drug rehab experience, this is the catalyst to a whole new quality of life... With such an abundance of drug rehab centers throughout Southern California, we have long aspired to be different in numerous ways. Most importantly of course is that we provide a higher, more effective level of care and more reasonable costs. Beyond that however, The Lakehouse Recovery Center operates more as a boutique facility as opposed to a more corporate, one-size-fits-all environment. This approach is rare in the residential treatment world yet has shown time and again to be a winning philosophy for all. Insurance Supported. Pet-friendly. CARF Accredited."
"Our philosophy at The Villa Outpatient Services is simple: to provide each and every client with an all-encompassing path to recovery, while simultaneously healing the mind, body, and spirit. Our methods range from the time-tested to the new and innovative. Our goal is to provide a calming and supportive environment to each person, helping them to realize their own strength to fight addiction and dependencies on drugs and alcohol. We vow to care for each client from the moment they enter our door to long after they leave treatment.
