Behavior of the Republican party....
1-Blocked everything that they could to make Obama look bad during a time when the people needed help from Congress.
2.Overt total disrespect to a standing American president
3-Outrageous statements against women's health care.
4-Voter suppression practices
5-Republican massive voter fraud discovered in Florida and possibly other swing states.
6-Republican candidate changes his positions when he realizes that a previous held position is unpopular.
Stated behavior if elected.....
1-Push back the National Healthcare Act before it has a chance to benefit all Americans.
2-Appoint Supreme Court Justices who are politically and religiously motivated.
3-Overturn Abortion rights.
Obvious behavior if elected
1-Will cut back on the regulations that has tried to remove our dependency on fossil fuels.
2-Will decrease the ability of managing one's own family by making birth control more difficult to obtain and making it more difficult to obtain preventive healthcare for women.
3-Maintain or increase job outsourcing.
4-Will oppose regulation of banks.
5-Will continue to support the influence of big money in American Politics

traditions from nazi germany have never been so apparent imho
freedom; actual peace'loving? kind of freedom? is not profitable.. hence the push back by the haters imho...
@ least the Constitution gives a semi'level playing field of rights and what not.. this could go on and on...
Ditto, Booklover. Really terrified. Find myself holding my breath when I think about it.
The saddest part of your statements here are that:
A Rmoney presidency disturbs the hell outta me.
As to the title of this thread, it got me thinking about the comparison.
Prostitutes (female or male).
1. You understand what you're bargaining for.
2. You can negotiate a price based on the level and options of service you desire.
3. There's more than just two from which to shop around.
4. Assuming you're not going through a pimp, you can directly deal with them.
5. You know what you're getting beforehand.
6. Once the transaction is completed, the customer leaves satisfied.
7. If you feel crappy about the situation afterward, you only have yourself to blame.
Seems like an unfair comparison to prostitutes.

Using Custom Objects and Custom Display Objects for Data Sources in Mura Form Builder
That title is a mouthful. And many might not be familiar with what it means. Check out this video to learn more about Mura's Form Builder, or you can go to this link which goes directly to the section of the video that I had an issue with.
In the video, Sean demonstrates the basics of creating a dropdown where you can manually enter the options for the dropdown. He does gloss over the fact that you can also get the data for the dropdown from other sources. Unfortunately, this is the extent of the currently existing documentation for this feature. So when I wanted to use this feature of the form builder to feed in data from another part of the site, I had to figure it out on my own. Here is what I came up with. Hopefully it is right(ish). Oh, you can also use this stuff to populate checkbox and radio button sets.

How to Hide a Cache on a Trail?

Post subject: How to Hide a Cache on a Trail?
Im looking for suggestions how to hide a cache within 3m of a trail.
The area Im looking at has fairly sparse bush composed primarily of White Poplar and Bur Oak. Therere no big Cottonwoods and Elms like in Winnipeg that often have a hole at the base big enough to hide an ammo can in. Theres the odd rock, but really just a nose sticking out of the ground and usually no crevices to hide something in.
I wanted these caches to be easy finds. Ive got some tricky hides, but the idea behind these ones is more of a power trail to take a cacher on a nice hike where they can find lots of caches.
I like to do winter friendly hides, but a winter friendly hide that close to the trail would likely be muggled. Im not a fan of hiding micros, so Id rather not hide a minuscule cache in a bush just for the sake of putting it in a particular location.
The easy alternative is to hide it on the ground. Even so, that close to a trail it must be reasonably well hidden or a passing muggle may spot it. Also, one of the problems with hiding on the ground is depending how difficult the cache is to find, eventually the area may get turned over.
One idea is to have a piece of flagging tape above the cache marking its position. This is very popular on Vancouver Island and also makes the ground hide arguably winter friendly. Im looking for suggestions on what to use as a marker. I cant nail things to trees and flagging tape fades quickly. UV quickly destroys a lot of different materials and Id hope the marker would last a couple of years at least.
Of course, cleverly camouflaged hides are always fun and Ive got a few of those. They can be problematic though as often the disguise wears off after few cachers have handled it or the cache has spent a winter outside. I do have a couple of ideas though
Of course cache maintenance is importunate to me. The container needs to be rugged and waterproof (and somewhat cacher proof) so I know itll survive rain and winter and many openings without compromising the contents. Ive got a lot of cache hides and I dont want to be running all over replacing poor containers!
Please let me hear your ideas on hiding a cache on a trail!
I came for the caches, but I stayed for the people!

A suggestion for flagging tape is a dollar store plastic table cloth (they come in varying colours) cut into strips (whatever size you want) and tied to the tree/post. Surprisingly, the colour lasts in the outdoor summer/winter environments. Our Canadian forces often use this method for their yellow ribbon campaigns where they line boulevards with yellow ribbons (plastic table cloth material) tied around trunks of trees. We have used it in two of our caches (yellow) and after 2 years it still looks like new. As a cacher you may have not noticed this as it was more for us, the hider's purpose not the finder.

Yup! We were shocked to hear that a cheap plastic tablecloth would do the job. The idea came from the Canadian Forces when we contacted them for "yellow ribbon" to put around our boulevard trees in front of our house. We have some very close friends who were serving in Afghanistan and as a reminder of their service we wanted to tie yellow ribbon around our two trees. We were hoping to buy some from the Canadian Forces. It was then that they told us what we needed. They buy it in giant rolls wholesale but for an individual wanting just a small amount the dollar store plastic tablecloth does the job. The only problem we encountered was not all the dollar stores carried the yellow and no other colour would do for our Forces remembrance. Any colour would do for geocaching purposes.
As a bonus it cuts real slick as well. A pair of scissors slices through it like nothing, especially when we needed fairly long strips to tie around trunks of large trees.

Top five makeup looks from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week 2013
Makeup at a fashion show is an essential part of the narrative the clothes tell. It accessorizes, visualizes and emphasizes the concept. Some looks are wearable while others are complete fantasy. The fun is in experiencing them all and then modifying to fit your tastes. Listed below are my top five favorite makeup looks from Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2013.
1. MAC Cosmetics for The Blonds
A Marilyn Monroe-on-acid vibe was felt at The Blonds. According to Kabuki, lead makeup artist for MAC Cosmetics, the look for the show was "A cool blonde with a dangerous edge, the quintessential Alfred Hitchcock archetype." Not necessarily wearable, but definitely appealing.

The top U.S. military chief in Afghanistan said Monday that his team is working as fast as possible to resolve issues that have infuriated Afghan President Hamid Karzai, including the delay in handing over a U.S.-run detention center and the withdrawal of American special forces from a troubled province neighboring Kabul.
The efforts illustrate the growing tensions between the commander, Gen. Joseph Dunford, and an Afghan ally who is struggling to break free from international influence and establish independence after more than a decade relying on a foreign military force for security. …
… Last week, Dunford warned his commanders to raise their security levels, saying Karzai's comments could stir more anti-American sentiment and spur more insider attacks.
But he has remained circumspect and studiously polite in public, seeking to use face-to-face meetings with Karzai to ease tension and temper Karzai's angry demands for immediate change. Dunford, a Marine Corps general with a master's degree in government from Georgetown University and another in international relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, said it's simply a matter of "working the issues."

LONDON (AP) — Veteran entertainer Rolf Harris intends to plead not guilty to indecent assault and child pornography charges, his lawyer told a London court hearing Monday.
The 83-year-old performer faces nine counts of indecent assault on victims aged 14 and 15 and four counts of making indecent images of children. The alleged incidents stretch back to the 1980s.
Harris, who was accompanied by his wife Alwen, spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth during the brief pre-trial hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Defense lawyer Sonia Woodley said Harris would deny the charges when asked to enter a formal plea at a later hearing.
Australia-born Harris has been a British broadcasting stalwart for decades. He has had musical hits with "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" — which he once performed with The Beatles — and "Two Little Boys."
He also has hosted television shows and painted an official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
Harris was released on bail and his next court appearance was set for Oct. 7.

TOPEKA - The interpretation of a Kansas law regarding who's responsible for delinquent taxes on personal property after it is sold isn't consistent in every county, although the state contends the law is clear.
The confusion arises when someone buys property, such as a boat or trailer, and then discovers the previous owner hadn't paid the taxes. The Kansas Department of Revenue said state law clearly requires that the unpaid taxes follow the property, but many counties aren't interpreting the law that way, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.
The discrepancy became more apparent when the Kansas Department of Revenue launched a program in May 2012 that allows county treasurers to more easily communicate with each other, making it simpler to track delinquent taxes across county lines.
Shawnee County has changed its interpretation of the law in the last two years, now requiring that delinquent personal property taxes stay with the property, said Jonathan Brzon, assistant county counselor.
That has left Heather Wolf on the hook for a $635 tax bill that a Shawnee County resident didn't pay on a jet ski she purchased in 2012. Wolf said she was unaware of the tax lien until March, when she received a letter from Shawnee County.
If the issue isn't resolved by November, the single mother of two risks not having her vehicle's tags renewed.
"To me, this law needs to be changed," Wolf said. "I'm an innocent person, and now I'm getting punished for somebody else's negligence."
Bill Waters, attorney for the Division of Property Valuation in the state revenue department, supported Shawnee County's application of the law.
"Personal property taxes follow the property," Waters said, noting that a lien expires three years after the taxes originally were due. The only exception is when the sale is a normal retail transaction, such as the sale of a boat by a boat dealer, he said.
Johnson, Geary, Butler and Saline counties also follow Shawnee County's interpretation, but others -- such as Crawford, Wyandotte, Sedgwick and Reno counties -- assess the delinquent taxes to the original owner.
Sedgwick County Treasurer Linda Kizzire said assessing delinquent taxes to the person who owes them "has been a long-standing procedure."
Shawnee County Commissioner Kevin Cook supported his county's interpretation, but he doesn't agree with the consequences. He said the Legislature needs to clarify the issue.
"The law doesn't seem to be fair to innocent purchasers, who may not be aware," he said. "But I think that we have to follow the law, regardless of what other counties do."

some meditations from an essay i found scattered in a mess of information:
with its temporality and immersiveness, sound seems to avoid clarity, categorization an objectivity light and sight reveal objects, sound is the result of processes of something happening - and of mistakes: there can't be glitches without processes. the whole notion of 'glitch' is tied up to an "auditive" thoughtform , which approaches the world as a multiplicity of processes rather than a pre-set field of objects ---> RE: the telephone and its 'electromagnetic imaginary' we strive to approach an the outside of thought and perception - looking beyond what is before ourselves in order to find answers to the habits we keep the subject and the world are formed in commplex interractions between both...as the subject emerges from the processes of the world. D&G give these processes a name: MACHINES defined: "a system of interruptions or breaks"; cutting and redirecting the energetic flows of preconscious world, which can be though of as an infinitely complex assemblage of machines actino upon other machines acting upon others. REFRAIN: moments of relations which blur the distincition between habit and new ground/comfort and chaos.Refrain doesn't, however, have just a reactionary function against chaos; it is situated in the middle and has a potential to both reterritorialize and deterritorialize sound, constantly on the border of a territory... TO MAKE NEW PRECEPTS/WAYS/AFFECTS ONE MUST EMBRACE THE GLITCH "forms are replaced by pure modifications of speed." Using the concepts of Deleuze and Guattari, we can state that the phonograph deterritorializes sound, flattens down the hierarchical organization of music into a rhizome, which is an open, multiple and temporal form of organization and subsceptible to constant de- and recoding Glitches, clicks and cuts are the sound of sound machines molecularizing, atomizing and ionizing sound, making audible the process of sound itself. If we must make a distinction between the scratch and the glitch, it is this: scratching is the folding of recorded time, metallurgy of sound, taking a flow of matter and producing variations of it. Common to music and metallurgy, according to Deleuze and Guattari, is the tendency to ""bring into its own, beyond separate forms, a continuous development of form, and beyond variable matter, a continuous variation of matter,"" in short to bring out the ""life proper to matter."" James Brown's Sex Machine and Kraftwerk's Mensch Maschine define electronic music's identification with machinery with their twin poles of "raw" physicality and "pure" spirit/intellect. To dance as mindless robots or to think music as an incorporeal AI. This all-too established dualism has been broken down at times by the music machinery's potential to fuse down the two poles and to break down, to express glitches Repetition makes the thing repeated (the thing not new anymore) present again. Each repetition (a simulacrum of the "original", if any is to be found) is an event in itself; Repetition and first time, but also repetition and last time, since the singularity of any first time makes of it also a last time. Each time it is the event itself, first time is a last time. (Derrida 10 THE NARRATIVE IS THE HAPPENING OF REPITITIONS. Any vertical, arborescent models are flattened by the rhizomatics of repetition, which undoes the symbolical or critical form of thought. According to Roland Barthes, critique is always either historic or futurologic, its content is culture which equals everything that is inside us, except the present moment (Barthes 32). Repetition is a way of appearing without form, without identity: it multiplies the same element over and over again, juxtaposes the element with its each successive re- emergence, brings out the differences by bringing out the gaps between singular repetitions, forms a machinic assemblage out of the circulation of sound blocks. Scratching, sampling and the stuttering of malfunctioning soft- and hardware are means of derangement, seeking out a way to make a rhizome out of music, a way to place its elements in continuous variation, where absences, breaks, holes, folds and ruptures can be a part; a way to let ghosts of the outside in. As tool-using creatures (among other such creatures) we've always been cyborgs. ""[T]ools exist only in relation to the interminglings they make possible or that make them possible."" (MP 90) That is to say, tools imply a symbiosis between two bodies in a machinic assemblage, deterritorializing them both abbreveations: mp (milles pleateaux) ao (anti-oedipus)
i'm thinking about an experimental movie based on robots and their relationships/parallels with our ideas on repitition/time/Outside and how we may understand to bridge our own gaps.
some musings: feedback is most certainly needed - this is a rough.
A robot who discovers its ghost (as depicted by a fairy) it is released and the robot becomes ... . human . ephermeral light . animal . a copy of itself . music . an agent/carrier of thought into the collective unconscious - as represented by another planet (???)
A montage of work will depict the monotony of work through music and erratic stopmotion.
scene one : GLIDING MOVEMENT (The faint whisper of kraftwerk echoes into the noise of glitches and electromagnectic fuzz. There, a robot world emerges - made of found/made objects. Moving in fast and slow motion, the mood of the scene is to depict the repititious nature of the world and the interesting forms which come out of this repitition. The robots in this world move in varying speeds, some fast some extremely slow. The method with which this scene will edit takes form in it's sonic translations of the movement. Essentially, the viewer begins with the familiar attributes of mechanical strength and vigor robots possess. Their speed and lack of gesticulation will set the logic precision of film's pace. Also, the passage of time becomes as the sun sets and dawns all in the same shot. The duration of the film is to imply no end to the work day - robots have no concept of "the end" - a projection of our fear of mortality)
props: robots of all sizes/shapes/colours technique: experiment with bird/worm perspectives in camera stop-motion capture in camera composite layering in premiere/aftereffects
scene two : HABITS (A critique of the work robots do will be explored. Robots are created to enhance efficiency where humans lack the strength and stamina. Also, the monotony of repititon is an act that drives humans mad - though, the refrain is one of the last territories that maintain a present. Robots have no concept of time, just the present...

WCSU to hold 'Five Artists' M.F.A. Thesis Exhibition in New York
Blue Mountain Gallery in Manhattan to host exhibit
DANBURY, CONN. — The Western Connecticut State University Department of Art will present "Five Artists," the 2014 Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition, featuring the paintings and illustrations of WCSU M.F.A. students, from Tuesday, June 17, through Saturday, July 5, 2014, at the Blue Mountain Gallery, 530 West 25th Street, Fourth Floor, in Manhattan. There will be an artist reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17. The exhibition and reception will be free and open to the public.
The Master of Fine Arts is the terminal degree for practicing artists and the Thesis Exhibition is the capstone experience of that program, demonstrating a personal direction and mastery in the work of graduating artists. This year, five students will present their work.
Katie Bassett was born in New Haven and currently resides in Bethel. She works in a heavily mixed media style. Her training in traditional sculpture and graphic design has led to a nontraditional approach in installation and process-based work. Bassett received a Bachelor of Arts from WCSU with a double major in sculpture and graphic design. From 2011-13, she was curator of the Mercurial Gallery in Danbury and currently owns "you & I," an arts service business. Represented by TrailerBox Gallery in Danbury, Bassett has had numerous exhibitions with reviews in Art New England, The Mercurial and SculptSite.com. "All of my work expresses the need to rebuild what has been altered by breaking my own preconceived rules of art, expression and materials," Bassett said. "I utilize a large range of domestic materials to represent fragments of my existence as an artist and a woman."
Andrew Campbell is an emerging American painter whose work reflects a history of growing up on Long Island. Starting with a very familiar setting, the beach, the true content of his paintings is revealed slowly through the destruction and rebuilding of the figural and gestural elements involved, based on intuition and memories. Campbell began his artistic training at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 1999, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration in 2003. He then received a Master of Arts in Visual Arts from Ashwood University in 2006, and a Master of Science in Childhood Education in 2009 from Fordham University. After teaching briefly in the New York City public schools, Campbell came to WCSU with a total focus on painting. He resides in Shelton.
André Eamiello employs a unique painting process that combines watercolor and earth ephemera to create a nature aesthetic that is both abstract and representational. From the fusion of dream state imagination and action painting, structures emerge that evoke the botanical, the aquatic and the celestial. Eamiello grew up in various towns along the Connecticut coastline and developed a profound connection to the natural surroundings of his environment. This affinity for place endured even after he left Connecticut in 2004 to attend San Francisco Art Institute. At SFAI, he experimented with different types of environmental immersion, including public social intervention projects. Returning to the East coast, Eamiello came in 2012 to WCSU where he has focused on developing a practice that unites his interest in biology, metaphor and personal connection to landscape. He lives in Danbury.
Miranda Girard is an exhibiting and commissioned Connecticut artist living in Trumbull. She graduated summa cum laude from Maryland Institute College of Art with a bachelor's degree in general fine arts and a minor in creative writing. Her figurative, representational paintings and drawings are motivated by expression, emotion and environment. "Presently, I have been focusing on painting portraits of people I know and love to see what feelings emerge through the paint or what compositional or stylistic elements are influenced by these personal relationships," Girard said. "In these new, more intimate portraits of family and friends, I am learning about myself and my relationship to the subject." Girard is the recipient of the Connecticut University Grant, was recognized as Connecticut's Artist of the Year, and is currently represented by MDH Fine Arts in New York City.
Katie Ross is a visual artist and educator from northwestern Connecticut who now lives in Kent. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from UMASS Dartmouth. Her current body of work features oil paintings on steel along with a variety of drawings, etchings, mono-prints and metal sculptures. Trained in both two-dimensional studies and metalworking, Ross has discovered a process of oil painting on steel, a smooth surface on which medium and content glide. Depicting portraits of antique machinery and tools, the dialogue between past and present is an inherent part of both her content and methodology. "From monolithic industrial monsters such as power hammers, steam locomotives and furnaces to gas torches and drill bits, they represent America's rich industrial heritage, each with their own story to tell," Ross said. "Charmed by the sensuousness of functionality, and drawn to the darkness and mystery behind the fire, steam and rust, I relish the careful crafting that goes into each piece. I follow a trail of valves, gears, holes, bolts, pipes and rivets to see what these anthropomorphic shapes will reveal."

Kick Off Your Party: 10 Superbowl Dips and Spreads
Are you hosting a Superbowl party this Sunday? Whether you're planning to go all out and embrace the cheesiness or you're hoping to class up the joint, we've got a dip to fit you're menu. Because you know you need a dip, right? This is the Superbowl we're talking about.
1. No-Guilt Bean Dip – A happy accident turned into a favorite healthy dip that's loaded with flavor.
2. Fava Bean Dip with Roasted Garlic and Yogurt – Canned fava beans whizzed up with a whole head of roasted garlic, thyme and tangy yogurt.
3. Avocado Dips that Aren't Guacamole – Don't like the classic preparation with cilantro and lime? Try one of these six alternatives.
4. Muhammara – Roasted red peppers, almonds and pomegranate molasses flavored with cumin and spicy red pepper. Always a big hit in our house.
5. Pimento Cheese – We tend to think of this classic Southern spread as a summer dish, but we're not sure why. It would be just as welcome on a Superbowl spread as it is at a picnic in July.
6. Rosemary-Lemon White Bean Dip – A recipe from Lidia Bastianich passed on to Mark Bittman. With that kind of lineage, how can you go wrong?
7. Edamame Dip – Another Bittman-inspired recipe, this one started out as a salad but turned into a bright and creamy dip.
8. Brandade – Certainly not your typical Superbowl fare, this spread made with salt cod and cream would add a big dose of sophistication to the party.
9. Pink Pepper Goat Cheese Spread & Olives – Pink peppercorns and thyme accent warm, creamy goat cheese and zesty marinated olives – another elegant option.
10. Blue Cheese and Rosemary Cheese Ball – A cheese ball is a sure bet, and this one is packed with flavor. And, of course, there's always the Cheesy Football.
Super Bowl Snack: Spicy Meat-Filled Phyllo Cigars
Super Bowl or Super Tuesday Party? Serve Salmon Burgers
Recipe: Kitchen Sink Super Bowl Bars

This is where it gets interesting. I've read several other reviews of this game, and there seem to be issues that pop up almost individually based on the particular disc you play. While this is probably impossible I will say that I had several problems that I never read about in other reviews. The most troublesome of which I haven't ever had playing a videogame before... EVER!
At several points in the game, I was using a sniper rifle to scope out enemies hiding behind crates and other warehouse flotsam, before attempting to switch to a machine gun to clean up. My weapon controls froze and I couldn't switch them out, or fire, or at times even throw grenades. I was, of course, killed every time. It only happened three or four times, but it was super annoying. Even once is unacceptable. Four times is a worst game of the decade contender.
Gameplay innovation is non-existent and everything else follows the cookie-cutter FPS formula to a T, yet it still manages to bleed the fun out of every moment. Yeah, you'll sneak up on hundreds of soldiers and snap a few necks, but *yawn* why? AI is on again off again. At times, during obvious stealth segments, you can literally walk up to some enemies and shoot them in the face or stab them next to allies without even a passing glance. At other times, enemies seem preternaturally aware of your presence and a dead companion will send them on a hunt for your blood, making illogical twists and turns to patrol routes to find you. The whole experience feels cheap and canned and it provides absolutely zero payback for being a smart or conservative player.
Consider this: there aren't an astounding number of Achievements/Trophies to be won, so it's not even great for your gamer score. They are easy to achieve though, since most of them (Kill three guys with a grenade, Take twenty head shots, etc.) are more like obligatory gaming milestones. I earned most of them without trying with a single three hour playthrough (who would go back for more?). Good luck trying to get that 'Host a multiplayer game' or 'Kill an ally'. Any friend you convince to play this game will likely never speak to you again afterwards.
The next time you are playing a terrible game and you think to yourself 'this is awful', please consider those unfortunate enough to have actually played through Rogue Warrior. To paraphrase a classic Futurama line 'the only thing Rouge Warrior does better than other games is suck'. I wish this game would go hibernate in a deep, dark corner of the forest, emerging only to find food every few months until it was too fat to hunt on its own and was eventually and inevitably selected as the weakest of its herd and taken down with a few well placed buckshot rounds, dragged from its wooded home, and splayed on the hood of a Chevy pickup. It absolutely blows that much.

Camping World to Lease Vacant Car Dealership
November 8, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Camping World to Lease Vacant Car Dealership
The big, abandoned car dealership on Interstate 95 in Jacksonville, Fla., is going to get a tenant. Camping World Inc. will move in next spring, opening an RV dealership.
The Florida Times-Union reported that it's been more than three years since the plans to open a multi-dealership auto complex stalled. Construction began on the Jacksonville Auto Mall in 2008. But after the first building went up, construction stopped. And that one building, which was supposed to be a Hyundai dealership, was never occupied. It all just sat.
Fred Hassan of Jacksonville bought the 12.9 acres recently for $700,000 and will lease it to Camping World. Hassan used to own Suncoast RV, with 15 locations. He sold eight of them to Camping World and the rest to other companies.
"It needs a lot of work," he said. "I'll probably spend a couple million to get it [to] the tenant's specs."
Along with the Jacksonville location, Hassan is tearing down a shopping center along Interstate 75 south of Valdosta to make room for another Camping World dealership.
Camping World is the country's largest RV and accessories dealer, with close to 90 locations nationwide, said Matt Bateh, general manager in Jacksonville. Locally, it has stores in St. Augustine and another store on Beach Boulevard in Jacksonville, but business is doing well enough to warrant a third location, he said.
"Everyone thinks that because gas prices are up, people don't drive RVs," he said. "But if you're willing to spend $350,000 for a motorhome, you don't care about gas prices."
He said he wasn't certain, but he expected the new store to be bigger than Beach Boulevard, which carries about 125 units, and smaller than St. Augustine, which usually has at least 200.
Camping World also sells parts, accessories and other camping supplies such as kayaks and bikes. Bateh said he expected to hire about 35 employees, but that wouldn't begin until next year.


text: A legendary album! This previously unreleased album by Os Mutantes was supposed to be their breakthrough album to an English speaking market but for years its only been talked about in hushed whispers, and has only been heard by a lucky few! The record was recorded in Paris in 1970 and its ALL IN ENGLISH! (Not that were biased against Portuguese, mind you but since were English speakers, its kind of a nice thing to have a record that we can understand!) The record features a number of tunes from the Mutantes first two albums redone here with translated lyrics, and in a compressed pop style thats a bit smoother than the original albums, but still very nice! In fact, the records a sophisticated pop statement that would have stood well in the company of many of the best of 1970s rock elite had the boneheads at Philips actually decided to release the record! No use crying over spilled milk, though because the albums out now, and its filled with loads of nice tracks like -Panis Et Circensis-, -Batmacumba-, -Tecnicolor-, -El Justiciero-, -Im Sorry Baby-, -Saravah-, and a sublime reading of -Baby-, a track that was virtually the manifesto for Tropicalia!

A Vibrant Room for Three
Name: Isabella (10), Mateo (17 months), Cruz (due this summer)
Location: Orange County, CA
We are very blessed to be expecting our fourth baby this summer and grateful for our lovely home that we were more than happy to make our family of six nestle in the best way possible. And we were really happy that our kids felt excitement that sharing rooms was the only option.
We designed this room around a print that hung in my husband's room 30 years ago of a popular painting from The San Francisco Zoo. We had to also consider this room would be home to 2 little boys and 1 young lady...what to do? We went with a fun, vibrant, and colorful palette of primary colors. The final touches showcased all of the kids' interests and loves, and we used plenty of easily accessible storage space in order to make it easy for the little ones to keep their spaces clean.
Everything in the room is cute but, more important, safe. We earthquake strapped all furniture down and kept any surface cushioned with safety pads, so it's nice to know the kids can play like monkeys in there and be safe. There is nothing better than peeking in there at night and hearing all of them breathe!
Thanks, Maria! Readers, visit Maria at A lil bit of Ireland, A lil bit of Costa Rica.

A few months after Verizon launched its Share Everything plans, AT&T has announced that it too will offer shared data plans starting in August. Like Verizon, AT&T's plan offers unlimited talk and text, as well as support for up to 10 devices per account. The same basic structure underlies the AT&T and Verizon plans, but Ma Bell's implementation of the plans is where it distinguishes itself from its largest competitor.
If you recall, Verizon charges anywhere from $50 to $100 per month for 1 – 10GB of data, and each type of device you add to the plan (smartphones, tablets, feature phones, and data sticks) add an additional flat fee to the total bill. For a basic 2-smartphone 4GB Verizon plan, the total bill would run $150 ($70 for data plus $40 for each smartphone).
AT&T offers a similar but vastly different way of approaching the same model. You begin by selecting how much data you need similar to Verizon, though AT&T offers much more varied data limits, and as the amount of data you select increases, the cost of each smartphone drops. Consider the following table:
As you can see from the above table, smartphones can range from $30 to $45 per month, with the amount you pay decreasing the more data you need. AT&T is able to accomplish this by charging significant amounts of dough for relatively small amounts of data (seriously, $200 for 20GB?). In all, the pricing ends up being largely the same for two-smartphone households with AT&T and Verizon. With 4 GBs of data, AT&T's model yields a smartphone bill of $150, and the 10GB plan costs $180 under both carriers. Feature phones, tablets, and data sticks/jetpacks all cost the same monthly fee as Verizon as well.
Of course, the big difference between AT&T and Verizon is that AT&T isn't forcing people into the new data plans. Existing customers can choose to keep their plans, including those grandfathered into AT&T's unlimited data plans. New customers will also be able to choose between the Shared Data plans or AT&T's traditional plans.
For more information on AT&T's plans, we suggest heading over to their site. The plans will go live in late August for all those interested in switching. Would these new plans benefit anyone out there, or would you end up paying more in the end?

Has anyone tried the Rashi Barolo 2000 or the Rashi (Langhe) Batasiolo Nebbiolo 1999?
I had them over Pesach this year and thought that they were pretty good but probably on the steep decline past their prime.
Anyone else with opinions on these wines?
(On the inconsequential side, the Batasiolo 1999 label was one of the nicest I've seen on a kosher wine).

Gigabyte GeForce 8600GT Video Card Review
Trying to get the right video card for the system you are building? Can't figure out where to go or what to buy? Amazed at the many choices on the market? You are not alone in that search. There are a couple of schools of thought when it comes time to purchase a graphics card. There is the all-out-top-of-the-line-gotta-have-it-gamer that will take nothing less than the top of the line card, regardless of the price. Then there is the more cautious approach where some thought takes place; what is really needed and will do the job instead of just going for the cheapest card around. Many times this leads to disappointment for the end user when the graphics quality just is not there. The Gigabyte 8600GT is neither a high end card or by any means a low end card, but it falls somewhere closer to the top than the bottom end of the scale. This Gigabyte 8600GT is a PCI Express x16 video card that features Silent-Pipe II Technology for its cooling needs, has 256MB of GDDR3 memory, is DirextX 10 ready, supports HDCP technology, is SLI ready, and last but not least supports HDTV output.
"Gigabyte, one of the most well known IT brands in the industry, started as a motherboard technology laboratory with the passion of a few young engineers over two decades ago. With the vision and insights of the market, Gigabyte has become one of the world's largest motherboard manufacturers. On top of motherboards and graphics accelerators, Gigabyte has further expanded its portfolio to include notebook and desktop PC's, digital home entertainment appliances, networking servers, communications, mobile and handheld devices. Gigabyte has risen from an eight man office to a world class enterprise in the IT indusrty."
Closer Look:
The packaging that arrived felt much heavier than any of the mid-ranged cards I have ever used. This was surprising and just by the weight I felt that the wrong card may have been shipped. But alas it was the right card. This is the Supreme Commander Version of Gigabyte's 8600GT series of video cards. The box illustrates the fact that the game is included as part of the bundle of sofware for this card. The rear of the package shows the features and highlights the Silent-Pipe II technology used to cool the gpu.
Once inside the box, I was greeted by yet another box; this one jet black without writing on any of the panels. Once inside, the bundle of software and the manual sit on top of the foam the video card is enclosed in. The hardware bundle includes two DVI-to-D-Sub adapters, as well as an S-Video-to-Composite dongle for connections to a television. The card ifself was sealed in an anti-static bag and placed securely in a foam enclosure, protecting the card on all four sides. This method is much more forgiving than just a plastic clamshell.

The Fedora team has clearly spent a lot of time trying to refine some of the smaller, but perhaps more common user interface elements in some thoughtful ways. Take, for instance, the new setting that allows you to manage power settings from the login screen. It's a small tweak but it makes shutting down simple. There's no need to login when you wake from hibernate - just shut down straight from the login screen. Similar attention to these basics can be found throughout the new release.

Big Fun Correspondent Angie Pitre sat down with singer-songwriter Terri McPhail Chiasson of Raceland.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Raceland. I went to Central Lafourche High School, Class of 1983.
Did you come from a musical family?
Yes I did. Both my brothers, Randy and Kenny McPhail, always played music. My mom can sing; she has a beautiful voice. I assume that's where we got the ear for it.
When did you become lead singer for Crush?
My husband Mark and I wanted to play music together, since we never had. So we called Richard Cheramie, who was playing with Halifax at the time, and he had formed a new band. It turned out he was looking for a bass player, so Mark and I just sort of hooked up with Crush in 2010 and it took off from there. We had a great time with Crush, but we've taken a break from that band and are working more on my originals.
Was that your first band?
No, my first band was Athena in 1983, right out of high school. After that was Affinity, and we played a lot down Bayou Lafourche. That was probably the biggest band I was in because we had a booking agent and played everywhere, even out of state.
When did you start writing songs?
When I was 13. "This Part of Me" was written when I was around 16. Several of the songs I've recorded were written when I was a teenager.
What motivated you to begin recording your originals?
My husband and I have a little make shift studio, and I always wanted to record them. I got in touch with Pershing Wells and asked him to listen to my songs and see if they were worthy of recording. He said yes! I recorded "This Part Of Me" and "One More Time" in 2010. It costs a little bit to do that, so we are doing them slowly, a song or two at a time. It was a dream come true to record my music.
Tell us about Reverb Nation.
Reverb Nation is a site for independent artists to put their songs out there and get some recognition. It got me national recognition and put me in contact with people from all over the world. I am recording with a guy from Germany by the name of Michael Colvin. The Hollywood Music in Media award that I was nominated for brought me to Hollywood, and that was from Reverb Nation. Two of my songs on my CD were nominated. It was an awesome experience.
You're a weekend musician. What is your other career?
I'm a respiratory therapist at St. Anne's Hospital. I've been there for 20 years now.
What more do you hope to accomplish with your music career?
Well, I'm hoping to sell my music! Other than that, I feel like I've accomplished what I wanted to accomplish. I've recorded a CD, and I've played live. We are working on a group for my originals, Terri McPhail Chiasson and the Fellas. We played for Voice of the Wetlands and played with some other musicians. I got to sing on Jimmy Clanton's CD that was released last year. I feel pretty satisfied with what I've done.
What's next for you Terri?
I'm enjoying my family and my two grandchildren. Mark and I actually went out on a date last night. That was great! All of the musicians in our new band are involved in multiple projects, so we are taking it slow. It will probably be May or June before we kick off our show. It will be contemporary country rock. We are hoping that it will turn out well because no one around here is doing that kind of stuff right now.

Gretzky by the numbers before, after 'The Trade'by John Kreiser
Wayne Gretzky put up offensive numbers the likes of which the NHL had never seen and hasn't since. A quarter-century after he was involved in the biggest trade in hockey history, a deal that sent him from the Edmonton Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings, here's a look at some of the numbers Gretzky put together during his unparalleled career:
0 -- Goals scored by Gretzky in seven regular-season games at United Center in Chicago, the most games he played in any building without scoring a goal. He did have two goals there during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
1 -- Goals scored by Gretzky in 449 of his 1,487 NHL games. He scored two goals 129 times and had 50 games of three or more.
2 -- Points by Gretzky in six games at Corel Centre (now Canadian Tire Centre), his fewest at any arena in which he played more than twice. Gretzky had a pair of assists in his six road games against the Ottawa Senators.
3 – Regular-season games needed by Gretzky to score his first NHL goal. It came against Glen Hanlon of the Vancouver Canucks during a 4-4 tie in Edmonton on Oct. 14, 1979.
4 -- 200-point seasons by Gretzky, the only ones in NHL history. He had three of them in a row, beginning in 1983-84 and capped by his record 215 points in 1985-86, when Gretzky had at least one point in 77 of the Oilers' 80 games.
5 -- Penalty shots taken by Gretzky in the regular season. Amazingly, he scored on one of them, for Edmonton against Vancouver's Richard Brodeur on Jan. 19, 1983. Gretzky scored on his only penalty shot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, beating Don Beaupre of the Minnesota North Stars on April 28, 1984.
6 -- Assists by Gretzky in Edmonton's 13-3 victory against Los Angeles on April 9, 1987, matching Mikko Leinonen's record for most assists in a Stanley Cup Playoff game.
7 -- Assists by Gretzky in a regular-season game (on three occasions), equaling the mark set by Billy Taylor of the Detroit Red Wings against the Chicago Blackhawks in 1947. Gretzky set up seven goals in Edmonton's 8-2 home win against the Washington Capitals on Feb. 15, 1980, did it again at Chicago in a 12-9 victory on Dec. 11, 1985, and for a third time in an 8-2 home win against the Quebec Nordiques on Feb. 14, 1986.
8 -- Consecutive seasons in which Gretzky won the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP. He won from 1980-87 as a member of the Oilers, then won his ninth and final Hart Trophy in 1989, his first season after being traded to the Kings.
9 -- Goals scored by Gretzky with the New York Rangers in 1998-99, his last NHL season, by far the lowest single-season total of his career. He did have 53 assists (ninth in the League) for 62 points, also his lowest total in a full season.
10 -- Three-or-more-goal games by Gretzky in 1981-82 and in 1983-84, another NHL record.
12 -- Playoff goals scored by Gretzky against Mike Vernon of the Calgary Flames, the most he had against any goaltender.
13 -- Consecutive 100-point seasons for Gretzky, an NHL record. He also holds the mark for total 100-point seasons with 15. Gretzky broke the century mark in each of his first 13 seasons -- nine with the Oilers and four after being traded to the Kings -- until 1992-93, when injuries limited him to 45 games and 65 points.
29 -- Goals scored by Gretzky against Richard Brodeur, the most he had against any of the 155 goaltenders he beat at least once.
38 -- Goals scored by Gretzky at Winnipeg Arena, the most he had at any building in which he played solely as a visiting player.
39 -- Games needed by Gretzky to reach 50 goals in 1981-82, still the fewest by any player.
42 -- Arenas in which Gretzky scored at least one regular-season NHL goal. He had 10 or more goals in 18 buildings.
50 -- Games in which Gretzky scored three or more goals, an NHL record (10 more than Mario Lemieux, who's second). Gretzky had 37 three-goal games, nine four-goal games, and four games in which he scored five times.
51 -- Consecutive games in 1983-84 in which Gretzky had at least one point, an NHL record.
73 -- Shorthanded goals scored by Gretzky; not surprisingly, he leads in this category as well.
98 -- Gretzky's best single-season plus-minus rating, in 1984-85, when he led the NHL. It was the fourth of six consecutive seasons in which he was plus-60 or better. He finished his career plus-518.
157 -- Goals scored by Gretzky in December, the most he had in any month. He had 154 in November, 152 in January, 144 in March, 136 in February and 126 in October. Gretzky scored 25 goals in 72 regular-season games in April and did not score in two regular-season games played in May 1995.
266 -- Regular-season games (of 1,487 in his career) in which Gretzky failed to record a point. He was held without a goal in 848 games and without an assist 443 times.
369 -- Shots on goal by Gretzky in 1981-82, when he set the NHL record with 92 goals. It was the most shots he took in one season.
424 -- Career game in which Gretzky scored his 1,000th NHL point. The milestone came when he assisted on a goal in Edmonton's 7-3 win against Los Angeles on Dec. 19, 1984, a little more than a month before turning 24.
493 -- Goals scored by Gretzky in his 745 regular-season home games, including a League-record 59 in 1981-82. He had 401 goals in 742 road games, with a high of 43 in 1983-84.
970 -- Margin between Gretzky's regular-season point total and that of Mark Messier, who's No. 2 on the all-time scoring list. Gretzky had 2,857 points; longtime teammate Messier is next with 1,887. Gretzky has more assists (1,963) than any other NHL player has points.

Avoid overdoing sun exposure, doctors warn
Summer has arrived — sunshine and all those warm rays. Health professionals say it's important to remember the sunscreen.
Even in our higher latitude climate, exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun is dangerous, said Dr. Ryan Kelly, who practices family medicine at Mayo Clinic Health System in Red Wing. "Exposure is affected by the distance from the sun, so areas on the equator receive a higher rate of ultraviolet light than other areas," he explained. "But it's still serious here, and can do damage to the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer significantly." Prolonged exposure to UV radiation changes skin texture and can lead to skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Kelly said wearing sunscreen is recommended for all but the briefest exposure to sunlight, even on cloudy days or during dreary spring weather. "There still is UV radiation that makes it through the clouds," Kelly said. "Most of the health organizations say they would like to see people to wear sunblock every day." Sun exposure on a cloudy day is only reduced by around 30 percent, according to the Mayo Clinic, and reflection from snow and concrete in the winter months can increase that exposure. And it does not take long for the sun to have an effect: UV rays can begin damaging skin cells in as little as 15 minutes, the CDC says.
There are plenty of reasons people give for not protecting themselves from the sun, but none are worth the increased risk of skin cancer, Kelly said.
Three of the most common excuses include:
It's all about that tan
With only a handful of months Minnesotans can comfortably partake in outdoor activities, there can be a sense of urgency to soak up as much sun as possible. But Kelly said tanning, either out in the sun or with a tanning bed, is one of the worst things someone can do to their skin.
"Sun tanning is kind of the bane of skin can cer experts," Kelly said. "The attraction of getting a tan causes people to compromise their health and to not wear the right protection." He added that although wearing sunscreen may prevent someone from getting a bronze glow, it greatly reduces the risk of skin cancer. "There's no other way to say it — tanned skin is damaged skin," according to the CDC. Any change in skin color due to sun exposure is evidence of UV damage.
Kelly also dispelled the idea that getting a tan early in the summer will prevent a person getting burnt later in the season. "It doesn't protect you to any great extent," he said. He also recommends people with naturally dark skin to take steps to reduce sun exposure. "People with very dark skin pigment have a little less risk for skin cancer related to sun damage, but they don't have zero risk."
Reduced vitamin D
"Vitamin D is a popular topic right now," Kelly said, adding that the exact impact of vitamin D deficiency is still being studied.
He said that while use of sunscreen can stymie the body's ability to naturally synthesize vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, the biggest culprits for deficiency in Minnesota are the long, dark winters. "We have a lot of cold weather and a long period of time where people aren't going outside," he said.
Some sun exposure can be helpful for people with a vitamin D deficiency, but Kelly cautions that overexposure to sun in the summer won't make up for six months of winter.
To compensate for reduced sun exposure, Kelly said a lot of experts recommend Minnesotans take supplements or get vitamin D through dietary choices. Although vitamin D is relatively rare in food — it is found most abundantly in fatty fish like tuna and salmon — several products like milk and orange juice are fortified with it in the U.S., according to the Institutes of Health.
Too much hassle
Lathering on the sunscreen to step outside for a couple hours can certainly feel excessive, especially for someone in a hurry.
But Kelly said that as an alternative to daily sunscreen, there are a few easy tactics to help avoid sun exposure, such as wearing longer clothing and staying in the shade during peak hours.
"I have certainly known adults who wear long sleeves, long pants and a big hat with a wide brim when they're outside — and that can be helpful," he said. "But you just have to make sure it actually covers and shades." Using clothing and shade is especially important for small children or infants who are too young for sunscreen, Kelly said. Simply avoiding the sun at certain times can also go a long way to reducing UV damage. The most hazardous time for sun exposure in North America is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. during the late spring and early summer months, according to the CDC.
Taking steps to avoid overexposure to UV radiation, like many inconveniences, becomes more natural the longer a person does it, Kelly said.
"It's a bit of a hassle to put sunscreen on and to remember to do all that," Kelly admitted. "But I think once it's a habit that people establish, it's easier to do.

Mobile radio systems to be purchased for NCSO
Following action taken by the Nolan County Commissioners at their Monday meeting, six mobile radio systems will be purchased for the Nolan County Sheriff's Office (NCSO). The full cost will be reimbursed by the FY (fiscal year) 2011 State Homeland Security Grant Program.Presenting the matter to the commissioners was Nolan County Sheriff David Warren, noting that the total cost would be around $21,000. These new radio systems would replace the aging units currently used by the county.Around $20,000 of the cost will be used for the radios, while the remaining amount will pay for the installation. The bid specifies that the work on the radios would need to take place in Lubbock.The funds from the State Homeland Security Program are being utilized similar to purchases made in the past, with a full 100% reimbursement. After this purchase, only $200 will remain in the grant to be used in the future.Also at the meeting, approval was given to advertise for bids for fuel for Nolan County precincts and the Sheriff's Department. Additional approval was given to advertise for bids for gravel and AC5 asphalt for the 2013 seal coating projects for Nolan County precincts; the project is slated to take place as early as May but no later than June.

If you're in the market for a toughened, touchscreen laptop, Panasonic has you covered. The company has just released its Windows 8-based Toughbook CF-AX2, which is a tablet-convertible Ultrabook.
The Toughbook CF-AX2 is designed for business users primarily and it's said to be able to withstand knocks that regular Ultrabooks can't handle. Its design is stated as being slim (18mm) and light (1.15kg) and its screen size is 11.6in.
The screen is held to a hinge that can tilt the screen all the way to the rear side of the Ultrabook, thereby turning it into a tablet. This is similar to what Lenovo has with its Yoga (which hasn't made it to Australia) and it could feel a little awkward to use in tablet mode with your hands touching the exposed keyboard on the other side.
Panasonic says that this product is "business-rugged", allowing it to withstand drops from up to 76cm and pressure on the screen up to 100kgf (kilogram-force).
The rugged exterior protects a configuration that includes a 1.9GHz Intel Core i5-3437U CPU, 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM and a 128GB solid state drive as standard. Along the edges it offers a good range of connectivity for such a small laptop, including full-sized VGA and HDMI video outputs, two USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit LAN and a full-sized SD card slot.
Perhaps the best feature of the unit is its hot-swappable battery system, which means you can add battery life to the unit easily while you're out in the field — although how long you get out of these batteries will vary depending on workloads and screen brightness levels.
Panasonic's Toughbook marketing manager, Jason Lee, stated in a press release that he expects the new Toughbook to be "extremely popular among businesses with mobile workers requiring a Windows operating system". Indeed, it's this hybrid laptop's purpose to be used for field work, or anywhere workers will be on-the-go and require compact, sturdy hybrid with long battery life and a good range of connections.
It looks like a good unit with which to give presentations and its ability to be used both as a laptop or a tablet with a minimum of fuss gives it plenty of versatility. You pay a relatively high price for the extra ruggedness and the convenience of the hybrid design, with this unit costing $2499.
