The Top 5 Worst Karaoke Performances Ever [VIDEO]
The thing about karaoke is that it gets better the worse the performance gets. We love to watch people make fools of themselves and struggle through the notes and words of our favorite songs. It is embarrassing, but wildly entertaining. I bet you can't watch these videos without laughing or cringing.

- Shock absorbers are allowed in checked baggage as long as they do not have sealed, compressed gas cylinders or hazardous materials. If the shock absorbers are sealed with compressed gas, they will not be allowed in checked baggage. Even if a shock absorber is not sealed with compressed gas, if it contains a residue or vapors of oil or gasoline, it is considered a hazardous material and will be removed from checked baggage by the airline.
- Car batteries are prohibited in both carry-on and checked baggage, per FAA hazmat regulations.
- Vehicle airbags are prohibited in both carry-on and checked bags, per FAA hazmat regulations.
- If the vehicle parts you're planning to pack are used or you aren't sure you can remove all hazmat residue or vapors, we recommend that you ship them to your destination using a parcel shipping service instead.

Great information, but can you point me to the TSA regulations on what my 15 year old daughter should wear to avoid verbal assault and sexual harassment from TSO's at the airport?

TSA: America's Morality Police
"The TSA has a new mission, apparently: to make sure young women are wearing appropriately modest attire."
"Here's what happened, as my daughter described it in text messages to us: she was at the station where the TSA checks IDs. She said the officer was "glaring" at her and mumbling. She said, "Excuse me?" and he said, "You're only 15, COVER YOURSELF!" in a hostile tone. She said she was shaken up by his abusive manner."
And I thought TSA was suppose to be protecting us from terrorist but it turns out that TSA and its 65,000 strong corps of Morality Police employees are the terrorists.
If there was not good reason to correct the mistake that is TSA I think this case tips the scale and proves TSA is not an organization that embraces the United States Constitution.

Clearly a failed policy that does nothing to keep anyone safe. If the parents are truly up to no good how does giving one a pat down prove anything? If the man had a bomb on him he'd have volunteered his wife for the pat down (file that under things not to say at the airport). Either the item is dangerous or it's not. Nitrate swab, even with the high false positive rate, would have been a better indicator than a pat down. If positive opening one at random selected by the screener still would have been safer. If it was only one it might not have to go to waste either depending on feeding time. At best the response is very thinly disguised "Do You Want to Fly Today" in legalese boilerplate. Anyone with half a would brain shake their head.

Not a failed policy at all. The TSA staff must set rules. Show a dominant over travelers. Create a fear. The is basic crowd control. For on inconvenienced family, how many were cowed to obedience to the rules and instructions?

Some of them are there because they actually think they're helping prevent another terrorist attack, but some are there because it pays better than flipping burgers and they can't get jobs elsewhere. Yet others are egotistical maniacs who like the authority it gives them over the travelling public. But nothing they do actually helps protect us from terrorists. Only us refusing to be terrorized does that.

In 2 days,I will be traveling from Newark,NJ Airport to Honduras. It's a 2-leg flight which I will make the connection in Houston. Question: I am bringing my father several automotive parts for his truck:2 new hydraulic front shock absorbers, 2 new ignition coils and 1 new instrument gauge cluster panel. Given the airlines (United's) limitation on checked baggage - i.e.,50 pounds, I do not want to have to compromise my clothing space and weight for these items so I am putting them in a carry-on bag. In reading both TSA and United's baggage policies regarding restricted items, I can not find anything that indicates these items would not be cleared for carry-on (clearly I understand this is contingent on no evidence of gas or hazmat materials residue). In posting this comment to the blog, I am looking for TSA to confirm this is OK for me to do. Thanks!

To Guitarist, so what happened? were you able to take those car part in your carry on? I don't see any response to your question from TSA! I wonder if I can put two used motorcycle exhaust mufflers in my checked in luggage. Once I tried to take a used steering pump in my suitcase and they took it out, destroyed it, my loss was almost $200.00. Some people here say use your head, use common sense. Rules and regulations are not always stand on common sense!

I was able to carry the new autoparts in both my carry-on and checked luggage. I carried a new truck dash in the carry on given it's delicate dials and the plastic shield...not wanting it to be crushed or cracked. The new starter and shocks we're in my checked bag. I wrapped all in bubble wrap with the purchase receipt attached from the vendor. When they opened my carryon they did swipe it for traces of petroleum. They did open my checked luggage too. Given things were new, and labelled properly and nothing oozing or dripping is probably why all the parts cleared. As I understand from TSA policy, anything with a chemical/petroleum residue on it will not pass the check point so you may want to consider shipping them instead of getting to the airport and having them confiscated.

Hi everyone,
Regarding shocks for your car. I purchased a pair of those mini gas shocks called lift supports that keep your trunk or hood open on your car. Would these make it through without being confiscated via checked baggage? They're brand new. I'm traveling from Austin back to Canada.
Cheers and sorry,

text: You know, the only people in this thread so far who've really focused on quads and falls appear to be fans of Patrick Chan's, yet they seem to think it's what most other posters care about. My impression has been that people have any number of things that they feel are working and aren't working when it comes to the IJS, as expressed in this thread and elsewhere. YMMV. Emphasis on "one example". FSU is way too big and too diverse for people to have such a narrow focus. While there are those who only go on about , there are also many posters who make thoughtful and interesting comments and suggestions - about 2010, about other events, and about skating and scoring in general.

Police officers at British prisoners increasingly are becoming concerned over the possibility that young Muslim prisoners might become radicalized by radical extremeist groups. A report, written by the Prison Service's Diectorate of High Security, describes fear and instability at several British prisoners which is leading to a state in which Muslim gangs might be taking control of jails. It says there is apprehension that tension might result to hostility and the growth of Islamaphobia. Many young Muslim males are being recruited by Muslim gangs and, ironically, the prison system has been transformed into a recruiting center for al-Qaida.
The report stemmed from the deaths of five prisoners in jail over the past 12 months. Muslim prisoner support groups cmplaing that Muslims are suffering harassment from staff which leads them to seek the protection of organized gangs. It was noted the prison "staff appeared reluctant to challenge inappropriate behaviour, in particular among BME(black and ethnic mnority) prisoners for fear of doing the wrong thing. This was leading to a general feeling of a lack of control and shifting the power dynamic towards prisoners. "
Great Britain is witnessing a growth in the number of Muslim inhabitants which will eventually result in more Muslims in prisons. If prison staff are inadequately trained to interact with people of diverse backgrounds it will eventually result in greater loss of control to gangs.

Chrystia Freeland:
The rise of the new global super-rich
Technology is advancing in leaps and bounds — and so is economic inequality, says writer Chrystia Freeland. In an impassioned talk, she charts the rise of a new class of plutocrats (those who are extremely powerful because they are extremely wealthy), and suggests that globalization and new technology are actually fueling, rather than closing, the global income gap. Freeland lays out three problems with plutocracy … and one glimmer of hope.

How to consider two fitting methods when using Findfit in Mathematica
Dear all,
Here I have one question and need you help.
When I fit the experimental data, I found the nomal least-squares
fit is not good enough, so that I want to add one more constraint on
it, which means I need two fitting functions to find the best fitting
result at the same time.
But from the handbook of Mathematica, one can not find this kind of
examples. Everybody only talks about the use of your own (but single)
function to fit. So, do anybody know how to solve this problem?
(simply speaking: using two fitting constraints in one FindFit)
Thank you very much for your help.

New Notebook Select or Evaluation Command?
I like to suggest a new front end or notebook editing command which
would say in essence:
"Select All Cells from this Cell up to the Top of the Notebook"
whenever it was activated by some suitable keyboard shortcut.
The usefulness of this command would arise when one was developing a
notebook and editing or modifying cells in the middle of the notebooks.
In common I suspect with many others, I often build a lengthy notebook,
then realize there are multiple changes in notation and formulas and in
the way I want to approach the problem.
As I work down through the notebook, modifying individual cells, I often
want to reevaluate the notebook from the top down to the point where
I'm currently working.
The easy way to do this is "ctr-A, Enter" -- except that this evaluates
everything and so overshoots the current working point, and if I've
modified things usually leads to a lot of errors beyond the current
working point.
(And in my experience, "Abort Evaluation" is not a reliable command in
Mathematica 3.0).
Scrolling up and selecting all cells from the current point to the top
of the notebook requires multiple mouse actions and some delicate
mousing, especially on laptops with trackballs or trackpads.
I suppose an alternative approach, at least on a Mac, would be to have a
"Jump to First Cell" keyboard command, with the capability that
"Shift-Jump to First Cell" would select all cells up to the first cell.

I've decided to work on a female Captain Rex costume. I got some sketches to go over and figure out which one I wanna use. I'll post them 2marrow even if I can't scan and have to take a picture. I'm also debating on how I wanna tackle it seeing as I don't have the option of Vacuum forming. I just don't have an extra oven or I'd be on that. So any ideas that'd be great. I'm counting on a low budget but good one (low budget under or between $300-$400) Normally I'm good at problem solving but I figure you guys are the best.
ps I have otherfriends wanting to do female clone troopers so progress pics might be mix of us.

Most CM professionals, I think, would agree that the CM database is not just another component of Application Life-Cycle (ALC) management, it's really at the heart of the matter. I'd like to say that the CM function shares the same stature - it's not just another component of your ALC management - it's the nerve. In fact, I'd like to go one step further and say that the integration of CM and Data Management (DM) capabilities, when done properly, can transform your ALC management environment into a next generation engine that will empower each component of your environment.
Perhaps you view CM as just another component of your ALC management suite. Let's explore a different approach by understanding CM as a capability that can be applied to the various components.
The ALC requires management tools spanning a wide spectrum. From request tracking and requirements management through to deployment management, problem tracking and customer tracking, there are a range of component tools required to manage the lifecycle. Internally, we use our own tool [CM+] for:
· Request management
· Requirements tracking and traceability
· Projects and activity work breakdown structures
· Document management
· Software version control
· Change management
· Baseline and build definition
· Problem tracking
· Test case and test run tracking
· Build and release management
· Deployment
· Customer tracking
That's quite a list of tool components. So, where does configuration management fit in? Is it all of these, some of these, none of these? Configuration management is a backbone technology.

Eric Reviews Life After Denim's Churchill Shirt In Bluebird
Posted by Admin under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
So, Life After Denim is a brand that, by all accounts, we should despise- purely for their name. But, they were nice enough to send me one of their Churchill shirts. Olive branch accepted.
With quality cotton and heather speckle cloth, it's hard to hold their name against them for very long. It's one of the most comfortable shirts I've ever worn and it's great for all seasons, even though it's in their Fall line. You can beat the heat and roll the sleeves, or keep them extended when the temp drops. Given the not-so-hellish summer temperatures and the surprisingly warm beginning to Fall, I've enjoyed both sleeve options, with gusto.
The Bluebird color is a great pairing with any skinny pair of black or white denim jeans. Heck, I wore the shirt to a beach wedding a few weeks ago, tucked into a white pair of slacks. Everybody was like "Yo, where did you get that shirt?!? It's perfect!"
Simply put, this shirt is a delight. Grab one here.

Gearing up for next month's ceremony, MTV announced the nominations for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on Tuesday (March 5).
Awards host Rebel Wilson and MTV News' Josh Horowitz started off the nomination spectacular by announcing the most coveted Golden Popcorn award for Movie of the Year.
Given that it's the biggest James Bond 007 film of all time, it's only fitting that "Skyfall" has been nominated for six trophies at the upcoming Empire Awards.
The British spy flick will compete for Best Film, while stars Daniel Craig and Judi Dench are up for Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively. Additionally, Sam Mendes snagged a nod for Best Director.
It's always interesting to see the little details that unintentionally make it past the movie editing process, and now MovieMistakes.com has released their top five error-riddled flicks of 2012.
Coming in at #1 is "Men in Black III," (63 mistakes) thanks to plenty of inconsistencies from scene to scene and tiny snafus in the background.
Given the massive role of special effects in today's film industry, the Visual Effects Society has plenty of material to consider in determining each year's stand-outs.
And earlier today, the nominees for the 11th Annual VES Awards were announced, spanning 24 categories of film, animation, television, video games, and commercial projects. The winners will be declared during an official ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February 5th.
Suiting up again in his Hawkeye costume, Jeremy Renner hosted "Saturday Night Live" this week with musical guest Maroon 5 (November 17).
In one of the sketches, the cast joined their guest host in parodying his blockbuster superhero movie, "The Avengers."
Keeping the fans interest piqued, a new bonus clip was released today (August 22) for "The Avengers" ahead of the September 25th Blu-ray and DVD release.
The short clip is part of a longer featurette, which will be included on the Blu-ray/DVD. It focuses on Chris Evans' character, Captain America and Mark Ruffalo's character, The Hulk.
With the huge success of "The Avengers," Joss Whedon pretty much has his pick of projects. Disney announced today (August 7) that he will both write and direct the sequel "Avengers 2."
Also on Whedon's plate will be a live action TV series featuring Marvel characters for the ABC network.
Making for another memorable year, the 2012 Teen Choice Awards took place in Universal City, California on Sunday night (July 22).
Held at the Gibson Amphitheatre, Demi Lovato tended to hosting duties with help from Kevin McHale as "The Twilight Saga", "The Vampire Diaries" and "The Hunger Games" emerged as the big winners.

You need to carry in whatever condition you are comfortable with. The majority of people here, myself included, advocate carrying with one in the chamber. However there are many people that, for various reasons, do not carry with one in chamber. So there is no right answer and you just need to decide what is best for you.

I had considered laminating first but really don't like all that end grain and thermal breaks (very minor). Although I am sure it greatly speeds construction. Also I do like some mechanical fasteners when I can use them.
you misunderstood my bond concern. It was the foam to solid lumber lamination (as opposed to ply) that I was curious about.
Do you migratory like tops wick in moisture?The tops are pure foam, sans a couple of 1.5" strips of wood on the top to protect the foam from a rock. They also over hang the sides of the nucs a bit (about an inch). I have not had any moisture getting into the hives around the tops.
Derekm, thanks for your calculations. I would say your numbers are fairly close to what I have been observing. The differences are probably in the amount of air infiltration I have with my top vent and a chimney effect (albeit small). One of my double decker foam nucs was bearding earlier this week on a cloudy 57F/14C day. I checked my vent which was suppose to be about 220mm x 4mm, but the stone weight on top had squished the vent down to about 200mm x 1mm. That was trapping in too much heat and causing bearding at 14C.As you point out, a person needs to remember to open up the venting on a foam hive when it gets mild outside!With a fairly small top vent, I seem to still be capable of achieving a heat gain of +35F/20C inside the hive just from the bees. For my bee yard, that is probably good enough since I have to worry about the dang wax moths.Windfall, my wax moth issues last winter were in electrically heated nucs, but my guess is the buggers don't care how they get warmed up; electric or super insulation. May not be an issue in other bee yards, but in mine I need to plan my thermal design around the wax moth life cycle too.

Defense lawyers in Guantanamo war tribunals are upset over third party monitoring, document disappearance
They're the men allegedly behind some of the worst terrorist attacks on the U.S. As work at the
Guantanamo Bay prison facility
winds down, the Pentagon prepares to hold special war tribunals -- military trials -- for prisoners deemed too dangerous
to release
I. Defense Discovers Documents Delete, Smoke Alarms Were Really Mics
Those prisoners include five men responsible for helping plan the September 11 terrorist attacks. They also include Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, who masterminded an attack on the
USS Cole
during its deployment to Yemen, an attack that killed 17 U.S. sailors.
But the pretrial hearings, which were supposed to start this week in some cases may be delayed due to allegations of foul play,
according to
What appeared to be smoke alarms in client meeting rooms were really disguised microphones.
[Image Source: Adeoma]
Defense lawyers for several of the suspects, who face the death penalty say they have evidence that their emails and internet searches were monitored by third parties. And they say documents involved with the case began to disappear from their assigned Pentagon computers in February.
Navy Commander Walter Ruiz represents Mustafa al Hawsawi, who is alleged with funneling funding for the 9/11 attacks. Ruiz states, "three to four weeks' worth of work is gone, vanished."
Aside from deletions, there was also evidence that prosecutors ordered system administrators to grant them access to 500,000 files on defense lawyers machines, files which included confidential attorney-client communications. The Guantanamo detention camp's legal advisor also revealed that device that appeared to be smoke alarms in rooms where defense attorneys met with their clients were really microphones; but don't worry -- he claimed no conversations between the lawyers and their clients were recorded.
II. Human Rights Watchers: Trial "is a Sham"
International human rights watchdog group
Human Rights First
blasted the latest developments as "absolutely outrageous". Its expert on the current proceedings -- Daphne Eviatar comments, "This is just further evidence that the military commission system is a sham and that all terrorism trials should be held in real U.S. federal courts on U.S. soil, where the rules are clear, defendants' rights are respected and the verdicts will have credibility."

The issues have been so severe that Colonel Karen Mayberry has advised the defense lawyers to stop storing case documents on Pentagon machines. James Connell, a defense attorney for Ali Abdul Aziz Ali (aka Ammar al-Baluchi) -- the other alleged 9/11 plot funding funneler -- comments "I'll be filing a handwritten motion very shortly to ask for an abatement of the proceedings."
Given the extraordinary and unusual circumstances Army Colonel James Pohl -- the presiding judge in the trials -- has already delayed the pre-trial hearings of al Nashiri till June and is considering pushing the death penalty trial for the 9/11 conspirators as well.
Until February the preliminary hearings were being broadcast to the public and media via a closed circuit. But the judge in February ordered those feeds cut, around the same time the alleged harassment of defense lawyers began.
"Spreading the rumors, it's very easy because the people who write about Apple want that story, and you can claim its credible because you spoke to someone at Apple." -- Investment guru Jim Cramer

Hey everyone with all the traveling I have been doing for work lately I have not had the chance to do a good WIP thread. With that I will work on doing them for this thread and the other thread that I recently started.
What we have here is an original FPH number #5 in fact. All I have to say is that this is a great lid and man is it huge!!!! I would recommend this lid (if you can find one) for all you Fett with the large noggins!!!! The cast itself is great and Allenhdds has provided my with a real MQ-1 circuit board to put in the back. Along with that he has also provided a set of Ali ears that I will mount on the lid as well. In all this is a great lid and I cannot wait to put in some time on this bad boy.
So far I have been able to get the lid in primer and spray the base gray blue on the back panels. I have have also hit the lid with silver and then the gray and concrete layers on the back panels. I hope to have the concrete masked out and the green layer applied mid this week.
Below are the pictures that I have so far and hope to update the thread some more tonight with additional pics.

Step 1: Closet planning and prep work
This closet isn't complex. An energetic beginner could complete it successfully in about four weekends. You probably don't need a building permit for the closet, but if you add closet lighting you'll need an electrical permit. Contact your local building department to be sure.
In addition to basic carpentry and drywall tools, you'll need a circular saw to cut the framing lumber, a drill to drive screws and a power miter box to cut new trim. You could install the doors and trim with hand tools, but a pneumatic nail gun and power miter box will make the job a lot easier and more enjoyable. You can rent a nail gun and compressor and a power miter box.
Find a good closet location. You can easily modify our plan to build closets wherever they'll fit. Reduce the door width to fit narrower rooms, or build a closet with one set of doors. If you'll be hanging clothes, make sure the closet interior is at least 26 in. deep. Adjust the closet dimensions to avoid conflicts with electrical boxes, heat ducts and windows.
We chose hinged double doors for our closet because they're sturdier and less troublesome than bifold doors. Order your doors prehung from a full-service lumberyard or home center. For 2x4 walls with 1/2-in. drywall on each side, order doors with 4-9/16 in. wide jambs. Request roller catches at the top of the doors to hold them shut. Remember, though—hinged doors need space to swing open. If floor space is limited in front of the closets, consider bifold doors instead. Ask for rough-opening dimensions when you order the doors
Then get started with the prep work. If your room is carpeted, roll the carpet back out of the way and pry up the tackless strips (wear leather gloves—the barbs on tackless strips are wickedly sharp). Protect hardwood, tile and vinyl floors by taping down two layers of heavy kraft paper plus a layer of thin plywood or hardboard. Carefully pry off the baseboard with a flat pry bar. If you plan to reuse it, pull the nails through the backside.
Figure A: Closet Framing Details
Refer to this illustration when framing your closet.
Note: Figure A can be downloaded and printed from Additional Information below.
Use only fluorescent lights in closet and confirm the electrical box location with your local electrical inspector.
Step 2: Frame the walls
Photo 2: Cut the top and bottom wall plates
CUT 2x4s to fit between the walls for the top and bottom plates and mark the position of the studs, door openings and intersecting wall on both (Fig. A). Align the outside edge of the bottom plate with the chalk line and screw or nail it to the floor. Don't fasten the plate where the door opening will be; you'll cut it out later.
Photo 3: Mark the top plate position
PLUMB up from the bottom plates with a straight 2x4 and 4-ft. level and mark the top plate location on the ceiling. Snap chalk lines between the marks. Locate the ceiling joists with a stud finder or by rapping with your knuckle, then mark them where they cross the top plate. Our ceiling joists run parallel to our new wall.
Photo 4: Attach the top plate
SCREW the top plate to the joists with 3-in. screws where they intersect, or attach the plates with construction adhesive and toggle bolts where there are no joists to screw into. Secure the ends of the plates with 3-in. drywall screws driven at an angle to catch ceiling nailers (Fig. A).
Use a stud finder to locate and mark the framing members where the new wall butts into the existing walls and ceiling. If possible, attach the new wall plates and studs to existing framing members with 3-in. screws. Otherwise, use the method shown in Photo 4.
If you plan to add closet lights, locate an electrical box that can provide a power source and plan the cable route. If you're unsure how to do this, call a licensed electrician to help you wire and install the lights. Photos 1 – 4 show how to chalk lines for and attach the top and bottom plates. Use perfectly straight 2x4s when you plumb up from the bottom plate to mark the ceiling (Photo 3). Be precise—mistakes here will cause crooked walls that will haunt you when it comes time to install the doors.
With the plates installed, completing the walls is a simple matter of measuring for and cutting the studs, door trimmers and cripples to fit. Add about 1/16 in. to your measurements when you cut the studs. It's much easier to toe-screw tight-fitting studs. Attach the studs to the walls with construction adhesive and toggles or by nailing to an existing stud. When you use toggles, hold the 2x4 in place, drill the toggle locations (about 2 ft. apart with a 1/4-in. bit through both 2x4 and drywall). Then remove the 2x4 and drill the drywall with a 5/8-in. spade bit. Mount the toggles to the 2x4 (Photo 4), spread the adhesive, and shove the toggle wings through their holes.
Pick straight lumber for the studs and trimmers and cut up crooked lumber for the short cripples. See Fig. A for trimmer stud and header lengths. Measure for the cripples after you install the header.
Step 3: Install the doors
Photo 8: Shim the side jamb until plumb and nail
DRIVE one 8d finish nail through the jambs and shims at the top on each side. Set a 4-ft. level on one jamb and plumb it by sliding pairs of shims behind each hinge and at the bottom of the jamb. Drive one finish nail into each set of shims. Double-check for plumb and adjust by tapping shims in or out.
Photo 12: Strengthen the hinges
REPLACE the center screw in the jamb half of the top hinges with a 3-in. screw the same or a similar color. Drive the screw through the jamb and into the 2x4 door framing to add extra support and keep the door from sagging over time. Double-check the space between the doors and add a shim if necessary.
If you want closet lighting, rough in the electrical cable and boxes now and have your work inspected before you hang the drywall. Hang, tape and sand the drywall. Then prime and paint the walls before you install the new doors and trim.
The type of floor covering in your room will affect how you install the door jamb. For hard surfaces like wood flooring or ceramic tile, set the jambs directly on the floor. If your floor is slightly out of level, you'll have to scribe and saw off the bottom of one of the side jambs to make the head jamb level. If your floor will be carpeted, shim under one side jamb to level it (Photo 7). The carpet and pad will cover up the shims. Allow about 1/2-in. clearance to the finished floor. For thick carpet, you may have to raise the entire door frame with extra shimming. Measure the carpet height and door clearance to find out.
Follow the steps in Photos 7 – 11 to install the door jambs. The strategy for getting a strong, square frame is to shim the door frame at the top and bottom and behind each hinge location (Photos 8 – 10). Initially drive one 8d finish nail through each set of shims. Don't cut them off yet. Rehang the doors and check the fit. In most cases, you'll have to adjust the jamb by driving the shims in or out to get the doors to line up. Your goal is to create an even gap all around the doors. When you're happy with the fit, add a second nail at each location and a 3-in. screw through each of the top hinges into the door trimmer stud (Photo 12). Score the shims with a sharp utility knife and snap them off flush with the jambs.
If the doors don't quite close flush with each other at the bottom, either the jamb is twisted because the walls are out of plumb, or the doors are warped. In either case, the solution is to push the top and bottom of opposing jambs in opposite directions until the doors line up (Photo 11). This may make installing trim more difficult, since the jambs will no longer be exactly flush with the drywall.
Install door trim and baseboard that match the trim in your room. If you're not experienced in carpet installation, call in a pro to cut, stretch and re-lay the carpet.
Then measure the closet interior and go shopping for closet organizers. We outfitted our closet with off-the shelf Melamine components available at home centers and lumberyards.

Dear Members,
Some core principles of the "Modern Theravada"
[By Dr. David N. Snyder]
As shown above and in the quotes above, the progressive views of Modern Theravada are in line
with the teachings of the Buddha. Listed below are some core principles (that differentiate it
from the literalist or fundamentalist views):
1. There is an equal importance to the practices of meditation, sutta study, discussion, and
devotional practices. But there is especially an emphasis on meditation and sutta study over
rites, rituals, and ceremonies.
2. Men and women can practice together in a monastic environment.
3. The Dhamma can be taught in English or other language of the local community.
4. An international electronic sangha can exist.
5. All Buddhist traditions are not only vehicles toward complete perfect enlightenment but
that they can teach each other.
6. Lay persons can not only teach other lay persons but can teach monks as well.
7. Women can teach men . . . and monks.
8. Women can become fully ordained bhikkhunis (nuns), if they so choose.
9. One can interpret the planes of existence as physical places or as mental states and
neither view precludes one from being called a Buddhist.
10. A tendency to move toward vegetarianism and concern for the environment. Modern
Theravadins would most likely be vegetarian or at least mostly vegetarian.
Notes/sources for above:
There are several suttas that provide support for the above, but listed below are some examples
for each point above:
1. ―It is bhikkhus, because he has developed and cultivated one faculty that a bhikkhu who has
destroyed the taints declares final knowledge thus. What is that one faculty? The faculty of
wisdom.‖ Samyutta Nikaya 48
―And which are the five lower fetters? Self-identity views; uncertainty; attachment to rites,
rituals, and ceremonies; sensual desire; and ill will.‖ Anguttara Nikaya 10.13
2. In the modern world, there may not be enough centers to provide for gender segregation of
monastic communities, especially in countries that are predominantly non-Buddhist. This is in
keeping with the Buddha's wish for the Dhamma to be spread far and wide:
―Wander forth, O bhikkhus, for the welfare of the multitude, for the happiness of the multitude,
out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and humans. Let
not two go the same way. Teach, O bhikkhus, the Dhamma that is good in the beginning, good in
the middle, good in the end, with the right meaning and phrasing.‖ Samyutta Nikaya 4.453
3. ―I allow you, O Bhikkhus, to learn the word of the Buddhas each in his own dialect.‖
Cullavaga, Vinaya
4. Also in keeping with spreading of the Dhamma, as number 2 above, Samyutta Nikaya 4.453
5. ―Another person has practiced the making of merit by giving as well as by moral discipline to
a high degree; but he has not undertaken the making of merit by meditation. With the breakup

IBM has been talking a good cloud game for the last year or so. They have clearly demonstrated that they understand what cloud computing is, what customers want from it and have put forth a variety of offerings and engagements to help customers head down this path – mostly through internal cloud and strategic rightsourcing options. But its public cloud efforts, outside of application hosting have been a bit of wait and see. Well the company is clearly getting its act together in the public cloud space with today's announcement of the Smart Business Development and Test Cloud, a credible public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. This new service is an extension of its developerWorks platform and gives its users a virtual environment through which they can assemble, integrate and validate new applications. Pricing on the service is as you would expect from an IaaS offering (and free for a limited time). If you are testing with IBM software you can either bring your licenses or check out the equivalent instances from their service catalog. There's even a new version of Rational Software Delivery Services for shops familiar with Jazz.

Reno, Nev.-Matt Davidson homered twice on Wednesday night, but the Aces suffered a 6-4 loss to the Salt Lake Bees in the series finale at Aces Ballpark.
After falling to a quick three-run deficit, Davidson hit his first home run of the night in the bottom of the first to bring the Aces within one, down 3-2. His second longball in the fourth gave Reno the 4-3 advantage.
The lead held until the seventh, when former Aces outfielder Trent Oeltjen crossed the plate to tangle the game at four. Reno reliever Kevin Munson allowed a two-run home run in the ninth to give the Bees a final 6-4 advantage. Munson was charged with his first loss of the season for Reno.
The contest marked Davidson's sixth career multi-home run game, and the sixth for the Aces this season. He finished 2-for-4 at the plate with four RBI and a pair of runs scored, while striking out twice.
Mike Jacobs recorded Reno's only other hits of the night, going 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored.
