(Critical Survey of Literature for Students)
When Thebes is struck by a plague, the people ask King Oedipus to deliver them from its horrors. Creon, the brother of Jocasta, Oedipus's queen, returns from the oracle of Apollo and discloses that the plague is punishment for the murder of King Laius, Oedipus's immediate predecessor, to whom Jocasta was married. Creon further discloses that the citizens of Thebes need to discover and punish the murderer before the plague can be lifted. The people mourn their dead, and Oedipus advises them, in their own interest, to search out and apprehend the murderer of Laius.
Asked to help find the murderer, Teiresias, the ancient, blind seer of Thebes, tells Oedipus that it would be better for all if he does not tell what he knows. He says that coming events will reveal themselves. Oedipus rages at the seer's reluctance to tell the secret until he goads the old man to reveal that Oedipus is the one responsible for Thebes's afflictions because he is the murderer, and that he is living in intimacy with his nearest kin. Oedipus accuses the old man of being in league with Creon, whom he suspects of plotting against his throne, but Teiresias answers that Oedipus will be ashamed and horrified when he learns the truth about his true parentage. Oedipus defies the seer, saying he will welcome the truth as long as it frees his kingdom from the plague. Oedipus threatens Creon with death, but Jocasta and the people advise him against doing violence on the strength of rumor or momentary passion. Oedipus yields, but he banishes Creon.
Jocasta, grieved by the enmity between her brother and Oedipus, tells her husband that an oracle informed King Laius that he would be killed by his own child, the offspring of Laius and Jocasta. Jocasta assures Oedipus that this could not happen because the child was abandoned on a deserted mountainside soon after birth. When Oedipus hears further that Laius was killed by robbers at the meeting place of three roads and that the three roads met in Phocis, he is deeply disturbed and begins to suspect that he is, after all, the murderer. He hesitates to reveal his suspicion, but he becomes more and more convinced of his own guilt.
Oedipus tells Jocasta that he believed himself to be the son of Polybus of Corinth and Merope until a drunken man on one occasion announced that the young Oedipus was not really Polybus's son. Disturbed, Oedipus consulted the oracle of Apollo, who told him he would sire children by his own mother and that he would kill his own father. After he left Corinth, at a meeting place of three roads, Oedipus was offended by a man in a chariot. He killed the man and all of his servants but one. From there he went on to Thebes, where he became the new king by answering the riddle of the Sphinx. The riddle asked what went on all fours before noon, on two legs at noon, and on three legs after noon. Oedipus answered, correctly, that human beings walk on all fours as an infant, on two legs in their prime, and with the aid of a stick in their old age. With the kingship, he also won the hand of Jocasta, King Laius's queen.
Oedipus summons the servant who reported King Laius's death, but he awaits his arrival fearfully. Jocasta assures her husband that the entire matter is of no great consequence, that surely the prophecies of the oracles will not come true.
A messenger from Corinth announces that King Polybus is dead and that Oedipus is his successor. Polybus died of natural causes, so Oedipus and Jocasta are relieved for the time being. Oedipus tells the messenger he will not go to Corinth for fear of siring children by his mother, Merope.
The messenger goes on to reveal that Oedipus is not the son of Polybus and Merope but a foundling whom the messenger, at that time a shepherd, took to Polybus. The messenger relates how he received the baby from another shepherd, who was a servant of the house of King Laius. At that point Jocasta realizes the dreadful truth. She does not wish to see the old servant who was summoned, but Oedipus desires clarity regardless of the cost. He again calls for the servant. When the servant appears, the messenger recognizes him as the herdsman from whom he received the child years earlier. The old servant confesses that King Laius ordered him to destroy the boy but that out of pity he gave the infant to the Corinthian to raise as his foster son.
Oedipus, now all but mad from the realization of what he did, enters the palace and discovers that Jocasta hanged herself by her hair. He removes her golden brooches and with them puts out his eyes so that he will not be able to see the results of the horrible prophecy. Then, blind and bloody and miserable, he displays himself to the Thebans and announces himself as the murderer of their king and the defiler of his own mother's bed. He curses the herdsman who saved him from death years before.
Creon, returning, orders the attendants to lead Oedipus back into the palace. Oedipus asks Creon to have him conducted out of Thebes where no man will ever see him again. He also asks Creon to give Jocasta a proper burial and to see that the sons and daughters of the unnatural marriage should be cared for and not be allowed to live poor and unmarried because of the shame attached to their parentage. Creon leads the wretched Oedipus away to his exile of blindness and torment.

Espinosa says he's dealing with torn rotator cuff
WASHINGTON -- Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa revealed Saturday during NatsFest that he currently has a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder, an injury that he played with during the month of September and the postseason.
The injury didn't help Espinosa's struggles from the left side of the plate, although Espinosa said he was hampered from both sides of the plate.
"The second half of the season was going really well for me, personally. I really thought I was contributing to the team. But to see how I finished up was disappointing," Espinosa said. "My strikeouts went way up [the last month]. I couldn't hit left-handed, I couldn't hit right-handed. It was just disappointing to me."
Espinosa didn't have surgery, but he spent the offseason rehabbing the shoulder and is expected to be ready for Spring Training. Espinosa hurt the shoulder on Sept. 8 while making a diving play against the Marlins. It was originally diagnosed as a bruise, but after the season ended, he still felt the shoulder wasn't right. So he went home to see Dr. Lewis Yocum in California, and it was revealed that he had a torn rotator cuff. Espinosa didn't swing a bat until Jan. 1.
"I knew something was wrong. The cortisone shot [took care of it for a little while]," Espinosa said. "But everyone kept asking me if the shoulder was OK. I'm not going to come out and say, 'Yeah, it hurts.' I'm just playing through the pain. I knew something was wrong. I didn't know what was wrong. ... But there was pain. I didn't want to pull myself out not knowing what was wrong. If I knew what was wrong, that would have been a different story. If I knew it was torn, I probably would have taken myself out. I probably would have felt I was useless."
Espinosa said if he had surgery, he would have missed two months of the regular season. He avoided surgery by rehabbing the shoulder all offseason.
"I was disappointed to find out what was wrong," Espinosa said. "Now that I have gone through all my rehab, I feel great. Now that I can swing, the swing feels awesome, better than it had before. ... I didn't have surgery. ... I rehabbed it fully. I feel strong now."
Espinosa believes the injury will not get any worse once Spring Training starts.
"You have to have surgery to fix the rotator cuff, but it's rehabbing everything else around it," Espinosa said. "I did that really well. My trainer has done a great job. She has worked really hard. I've gotten to where I want to be. My shoulder feels strong. I feel great now."
Despite the injury, Espinosa played in a career-high 160 games last season, hitting .247 with 17 home runs, 56 RBIs and a career-high 189 strikeouts. Espinosa expects those numbers to improve now that his shoulder is much better.
"This last week, I started regular batting practice and the swing feels great. It feels better than it did," Espinosa said. "I'm really confident in my swing right now -- maybe it is because I have the confidence that my shoulder is all right. But I do feel really good."

Ways to Earn Money by Recycling
Earn a Green Living: Recycle for Money
Finding a great job in today's market takes a bit of ingenuity, and green jobs are becoming hotter than ever. Did you know that you can actually make money by recycling ordinary household materials like metal, glass, paper, small electronics, and much more?
You can earn a green living by focusing in on things that you can recycle for money, collecting them, and turning them in to the appropriate agency for cash.
While earning money for recycling, you not only help yourself, you also help the planet and help to keep your state and city clean and beautiful.
Here are some of the top ways to earn a green living by specializing in things that you can recycle for money:
1 Paper
Before you start collecting paper, check the market for recycled paper in your specific city or county. In recent years, the market for recycled paper has fallen off significantly, mostly because so many households have started recycling paper as a matter of routine. The market is so glutted in fact that in some areas the city actually loses money by encouraging paper recycling: That is, it costs the city more to recycle the paper than it would to throw it away.
2 Glass
Recycling glass for cash is labor intensive but it can be lucrative. Ask at various businesses if you can have their discarded glass containers, and then invest in a glass crusher. You can watch a video on how the crusher works at YouTube. One good place to buy a glass crusher is CompactorsInc . The advantage of owning a crusher is that you can store much more glass than you could without one. Keep in mind that you will need a truck to transport the glass you collect and crush as well.
3 Cans
The demand for recycled aluminum is usually pretty high, but you need to know which cans fetch the highest amount of money in your specific area. In the U.S. alone, 163 millions cans are recycled on a daily basis. Tin cans are not usually in as high demand as aluminum ones, and they are heavy and tend to have more of a smell from the contents. If you live in a state that places a deposit fee on aluminum drink cans, you are in luck, but keep in mind that there will be a limit (at most sites) of how many cans you can recycle at one time. So you'll have to make multiple trips.
4 Small Electronics
How many people do you know who just toss out their old laptops, external hard drives, calculators, monitors, or other small electronics the minute they become obsolete?
You can turn these in for money at Gazelle.com and the money can be substantial. You can get up to $100 or even more for a discarded laptop, $50 for a handheld device, $15 for a broken cell phone, and much more. Gazelle sends you a shipper once you get a quote for your small electronic item, then cuts you a check or deposits money into your PayPal account once you return it to them.
5 Cell Phones
You can turn in several cell phones at a time for cash at CellForCash , and if y...

Alexei Ramirez: Lost Olympic memories
Missing medal still haunts White Sox shortstop
I have a lot of great memories from when I played in the Olympic Games. The biggest one was the fact I could participate in it. That was really incredible. On top of that, to win a gold meal for the Cuban team and all the Cuban fans was fantastic. It was a great feeling and a great accomplishment.
However, it is a travesty that out of all the medals I own, my Olympic gold medal was the one that was stolen from me. That one means so much to me, not only because of the experience of the tournament, but also because of the doors that it opened for me. They could have taken any other medallion, but to have chosen that one really hurts me.
I still don't know how it was stolen. It happened when my wife was traveling from the Dominican Republic to Miami to Chicago. As part of that travel it went missing from a bag in her possession. It was with a bunch of medals, but that was the only one that was stolen. The bag had at least 15 other medals.
I have been looking for it over the years. I keep looking on eBay each year. It has been awhile, and I had hoped I would find it by now. I don't think I will ever get it back.
I represented Cuba in other tournaments, including the World Baseball Classic and the Cuban National Team. Still, there is nothing comparable when it comes to the Olympics. The Olympics are the enchilada when it comes to international competition. The Classic in 2006, for me as a baseball player, was great. Still, the Olympics will always be at the top for me. It does not compare to anything.
When it comes to playing for your country, it is all about pride and passion. What people need to understand is that when you are Cuban, when you are born in Cuba, they pretty much hand you a baseball bat there and then. That is where that passion comes from. We are very passionate about the game. We start with the game at such a young age. The pride comes with how we carry ourselves as a country.
When you make it to the Major Leagues, it is a job. You are here to do a job, and you are here to do the things to keep your job, for your contract.
In Cuba, it is more for the love. It is sort of fighting for that little piece of land, your Providence. It is where you live it is where you are from. Your success brings happiness to the people from your area.
Also, I do feel there a few misconceptions about Cuba when it comes to baseball. No, there are not any guards there with guns when we play, watching the game or overseeing the game. I think the misconceptions come from the lack of understanding that different countries play the game differently. That is true for Cubans, for Dominicans. Each country sort of goes about it their own way.
White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez has played all five of his big league seasons in Chicago. A native of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, he was apart of the Cuban Olympic squad that won the gold medal in Athens in 2004.

Hi, I have a question regarding multidotting with Flame Shock. The guide states:
But this quote doesn't account for, as far as I can tell, extra Lava Surge procs from additional rolling Flame Shocks. Even with these procs, it's not worth it to put Flame Shock on more than one target in cleave situations?It is not worth using Flame Shock on additional targets if you're facing 2-3 targets. This is because the damage output of Earth Shock at 7 charges is roughly the same as Flame Shock, and when using Chain Lightning to cleave you'll be generating more Lightning Shield charges than normal.
In circumstances where you can't cleave but there are multiple targets (they're far, for instance), is it benefitial to keep more than 1 Flame Shock rolling?

Now, recently I picked up Halo Wars again, and was slightly more happy with it this time. Let me explain why...
When first played Halo Wars, I went in with extremely high expectations. At first, it seemed pretty cool, but the gameplay seemed really limited to me, especially since Halo Wars came in at the height of my "Command and Conquer 3" addiction. Of course, I thought the two games would be similar. Never have I been more wrong. I didn't like how I had to build a base only in one single area. It really annoyed me. Especially how I had to kill some rebels to build a base when I just as easily build somewhere else. Then there was how little buildings I could make. In order to even make the army I want, I need two friggin citadels. Albeit, the Scarabs were quite worth using (kill all the things!), but I had nothing to support them with due to a low population cap. Not to mention when my base is attacked, I only have four measly turrents that aren't even the right class to fight the enemy. Then I need to upgrade my Warthog to put any sort of weaponry on it, Are you kidding me?
Recently when I played it, I found my self slightly more satisfied because I was paying more attention to the detail and how well crafted the game (sorta) was. I still had the same problems, sure, but I must say, it's definetly a pretty game to look at. The units were well made, although the coloring could have been a little less bland, and they seemed pretty well specialized to their classes and factions, except for the Scarab. If your opponent uses a Scarab, give up all hope. The units and abilities also made it really easy to strategize, and the commanding units for the Covenant are definetly worth using. The Rhino and Mantis are really the only vehicles that they added in that were really nice.
All in all, although I did have some problems, I recommend that you guys play this game.

Classic Fender Amplifiers
Introduced in late 1963, the Super Reverb used a pair of 6L6 output tubes and a 5U4 rectifier to pump 45 watts into a quartet of Jensen 10" alnico-magnet speakers. The Super Reverb's link to the famous 4x10 Bassman of 1959 is obvious (more so than to the 2x10 Super of 1947), however, with its reverb and tremolo (or "vibrato" as Fender called it), dual channels with independent controls, and tilt-back legs, the Super Reverb was a far more advanced design that would sit just below the flagship Twin Reverb in Fender's mid-'60s combo lineup. The Super Reverb incorporated a photoresistor-based tremolo circuit (as opposed to more complex tube-oscillator trem circuit used on some of the earlier "brownface" amps), and its spring reverb used both sides of a 12AT7 dual triode for drive and recovery.
Following the transition to a silver front panel and blue-sparkle grille around 1968, the cabinet was slightly enlarged—the top and bottom speaker pairs were also shifted respectively to the left and right—and, in an attempt to clean up the sound, the bias circuit was reworked and a hum-balance control was fitted to the rear panel. Fender saw fit to undo some of these circuit changes a year later, and, in 1970, the cabinet was downsized a bit, and a 3-position ground switch was added. The mid '70s saw the addition of a master volume and a pull-boost boost function. In 1981 the amp was given blackface cosmetics , a line-out jack, and a Middle control for the Normal channel. The Super Reverb was phased out in 1982, essentially replaced by the II series 4x10 Concert. The early Super Reverbs remained popular among blues players, however, and Stevie Ray Vaughan certainly gets the lion's share of the credit for the Super's ascension into realm of super-collectable blackface Fenders.
In response to the popularity of this classic combo, Fender introduced the 65 Super Reverb ($1,699 retail/$1,189 street) to its Vintage Reissue series in 2004. The new amp looks much like an original 1965 model, though it does differ in having modern PC board circuitry and components (as opposed to the original amp's handwired circuit and vintage-spec carbon-comp resistors and electrolytic filter caps), a plywood cabinet (instead of the solid pine of the original), no AC convenience outlet, and no ground switch. In most other regards, however, the 65 Super Reverb is functionally identical the original model.
So why are people willing to spend more money and go to more trouble to buy a vintage Super Reverb? Undoubtedly, owning a piece of early Fender history is a large part of it. Just knowing that these amps were built in the original Fullerton factory and that their circuits and cabinets were hand assembled by people who watched black & white TVs and drove to work in Ford Falcons and Chevy Novas is enough to summon the urge to splurge. Then there's the larger question of tone, as it's almost universally accepted that older means better. But is that really the case? To find out ...

One third of the world's population lives in coastal areas and rapid development of these areas has meant increased construction of coastal infrastruc- ture (e.g. ports, navigation channels, coastal de- fence) and related activities (e.g. land reclamation, beach nourishment), which has inevitably led to conflicting priorities between coral reef conservation and economic growth. The key impacts of these ac- tivities, if not managed, include:
• Direct loss of coral reef caused by the removal or burial of reefs
• Lethal or sub-lethal stress to corals caused by elevated turbidity and sedimentation rates
Dredging and port construction activities potentially affect not only the site itself, but also surrounding ar- eas, through a large number of impact vectors (e.g. turbid plumes, sedimentation, release of contami- nants, bathymetric changes). Effects may be imme- diate or develop over a longer timeframe and may be temporary or permanent in nature, depending on a large number of factors.
The Protected Areas Thematic Network brings together the main governmental and non-governmental organisations working on PA data management in the region in order to promote the more effective sharing of information on protected areas within and between the countries of the Americas Hemisphere, building on and contributing to existing global experience in this area through close collaboration with the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas and the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre.Resource Type: Tools / Applications

Purabheda Sutta: Before the Break-up of the Body
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Notes"Seeing how,
behaving how,
is one said to be
at peace?
Gotama, tell me about
— when asked about —
the ultimate person."
The Buddha:
"Free from craving
before the break-up
[of the body],
of before
& the end,[1]
not classified in between,[2]
no yearning is his.
Un- angered,
un- startled,
un- boastful,
un- anxious,
giving counsel unruffled,
he is a sage,
his speech
under control.
Free from attachment
with regard to the future,
not sorrowing
over the past,
he sees seclusion
in the midst of sensory contacts.[3]
He can't be led
in terms of views.[4]
Withdrawn, un-
deceitful, not
stingy, not
miserly, not
insolent, in-
he doesn't engage in
divisive speech.
Not intoxicated with enticements,
nor given to pride,
he's gentle, quick-witted,
beyond conviction & dispassion.[5]
Not in hopes of material gain
does he take on the training;
when without material gain
he isn't upset.
Unobstructed by craving,
he doesn't through craving[6]
hunger for flavors.
Equanimous — always — mindful,
he doesn't conceive himself as
in the world.
No swellings of pride
are his.
Whose dependencies
don't exist
when, on knowing the Dhamma,
he's in-
in whom no craving is found
for becoming or not-:
he is said
to be at peace,
on sensual pleasures,
with nothing at all
to tie him down:
one who's crossed over attachment.
He has no children
In him you can't pin down
what's embraced
or rejected.[7]
He has no yearning
for that which people run-of-the-mill
or priests & contemplatives
might blame —
which is why
he is unperturbed
with regard to their words.
His greed gone,
not miserly,
the sage
doesn't speak of himself
as among those who are higher,
or lower.
doesn't submit
to conjuring,
to the cycling of time.[8]
For whom
nothing in the world
is his own,
who doesn't grieve
over what is not,
who doesn't enter into
he is said
to be
at peace."
1.Nd.I: "Independent of before & the end" = no craving or view with regard to past or future.
2.For discussions of how the awakened one cannot be classified even in the present, see MN 72 and SN 22.85-86.
3.Nd.I: "He sees seclusion in the midst of sensory contacts" = he sees contact as empty of self. This passage may also refer to the fact that the awakened person experiences sensory contact as if disjoined from it. On this point, see MN 140 and MN 146, quoted in The Mind Like Fire Unbound, pp. 116 and 113.
4.See AN 10.93.
5.Beyond conviction & dispassion — The Pali here can also mean, "A person of no conviction, he does not put away passion." This is an example of the kind of pun occasionally used in Pali poetry for its shock value. Other examples are at Dhp 97 and the end of Sn 4.13. For an explanation of what is meant by being beyond dispassion, see note 2 to Sn 4.6.
6.The Pali word tanhaya — by/through craving — here is a "lamp," i.e., a single word that functions in two separate phrases.
7.This reading follows the Thai and PTS editions: atta,m vaa-pi niratta,m vaa. The Burmese and Sri Lankan editions read, attaa vaa-pi nirattaa vaa: "self or what's opposed to self." The first reading seems preferable for two reasons: First, it follows the theme established in Sn 4.3 and Sn 4.4 (and also followed in Sn 4.15 and Sn 5.11) that the awakened person has gone beyond embracing or rejecting views. Second, the word nirattaa is found nowhere else in the Canon aside from the two other verses in the Sutta Nipata (Sn 4.3 and Sn 4.14) where it is offered as a possible alternative for niratta (released, rejected). As niratta is clearly the preferable alternative in Sn 4.3, I have adopted it here and in Sn 4.14 as well.
8."Conjuring, the cycling of time" — two meanings of the Pali word, kappam.
9."Doctrines, phenomena" — two meanings of the Pali word, dhamma.

Coleenwoode History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Coleenwoode family
Northumberland. The township of Little Rye was an early home of this distinguished family. "This was the seat of the fourth son of Sir Daniel Collingwood, of Brandon, the descendant of Sir Cuthbert Collingwood, of Eslington, whose family were celebrated for their feats of border chivalry, and held considerable possessions in these parts. Alexander Collingwood, who resided at Little Ryle, was High Sheriff of the county in 1725. The old Hall, which stood in a fine sheltered situation, has long been in ruins." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. A branch of the family was established in North Dissington, Northumberland in early times. "This place was formerly the property and residence of a junior branch of the Delaval family, of whom Admiral Sir Ralph Delaval, a native of the township, sold the estate to Mr. Collingwood, of Byker, from whom it descended to its present possessor. The Hall, the seat of Mr. Collingwood, is a substantial stone mansion, erected in 1797, and contains a small collection of pictures. " [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Migration of the Coleenwoode family to the New World and Oceana
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Samuel Collingwood who arrived in Philadelphia in 1798; and of course Collingwood is the name of ship building town in northern Ontario named after an early pioneer..
The Coleenwoode Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Nil conscire sibi
Motto Translation: To have a conscience free from guilt.

Fort Point, also known as Admiral's Point, offers a fantastic view of Trinity. It can ben reached by turning left at Dunfield and continuing on for 4.4km on dirt road.
This is where a British fortification once stood (cannons can still be seen) until it was destroyed during a 15 day period when the French occupied Trinity in 1762.
The second installation of a fort was in 1812 to serve as protection against the raids of American privateers.
After the fort was abandoned a lighthouse was installed in 1871.

No new M cars have shown any weight reduction over their previous models and in the case of the new F10 M5 in particular they have shown a severe weight gain. The news of BMW targeting E46 M3 curb weight figures has a lot of enthusiasts rejoicing although the E9X M3 really only weighed in the 35XX range meaning it was only heavier than the E46 M3 by about 150 pounds.
It is likely that the new F80 M3 and F82 M4 will not undercut the E46 and it is doubtful there will be much if any improvement on the weight of the E92 M3 but judgement is reserved until it is here. Just don't start buying into the hype/rumors as BMW models have gotten very, very fat despite promises of Efficient Dynamics and lightweight materials.


text: There is no real stat prio for destruction. You can either follow simulationcraft (last time i checked it's reforgeplots were telling me to go crit=>haste>mastery, with no real stat stacking) or think about the stats yourself for certain fights. Crit allows you to generate more embers, mastery buffs those embers. Any cleave or multitarget fight make those two stats pull ahead.

Attic Conversion
New York
Attic Conversion Queens Village NY
Many people complain about the fact that their home just does not have enough room in it.

Attic conversion takes your regular old attic and makes it into a room that you can live in, work in, and fully enjoy. You can usually do attic conversion on your own, but sometimes it might be better to hire people to help you.

Is Your Attic Right For Attic Conversion?
The most important thing to ask yourself at the start of your attic conversion project is whether or not your attic is right for attic conversion in the first place. You do not want to go into an attic conversion project only to find out that your attic really isn't worth converting. Therefore, it is important to do some planning before you even get started, and to do a little bit of research as to what you might want to put in the attic.
The first thing you should ask yourself is whether or not your attic is accessible. If the only way to get to your attic is through a ladder in a bedroom, converting it might not be the best idea, unless you also intend to add stairs or a more accessible route. If you can't get to it easily, you won't be able to use it easily!
You should also go up into the attic and make sure that there is room to stand up in it and move around freely in order to be able to make good use out of the room. Otherwise, the room will not be convenient or easy to be used. The other thing that you want to consider is whether or not the attic floor is sturdy enough to use on a daily basis. Some old houses have attics that have rotted floors or floors that are unstable. Make sure that the floor of your attic is stable enough for the people who will use it and the furniture you place there before you begin your attic conversion project.
Lastly, you should ask yourself if your attic has the potential to be something that you might need. Is there floor and wall space that you can actually use? Will your home benefit from having another room? Will you be able to find room for the things that you currently store in your attic after the attic conversion project is completed? These are all questions that you should ask yourself before you begin the attic conversion project.
What Can You Convert Your Attic To?
Many people know that they would like to do an attic conversion project because they need more room. However, they might not be quite sure about what exactly they would like to convert their attic to. It is important to come up with the final use for the room before you decide to make it, so you can be sure you are converting it exactly to your specifications.
Attics can be used for many things. Doing attic remodeling can give you another bedroom for your children, or a guest room. It can also give you a home office area, a place for the kids to play, or a sitting room to relax in. Many people even use their attics as libraries, and enjoy having a place just for their books.
With the right attic conversion project and some hard work, you can create just about any room that you would like to create. If you have the time and are willing to be creative, you can finish an attic conversion project and have a brand new room in your home. Once you decide what you'd like, you can get started!
How To Deal With The Attic Walls And Ceiling During Attic Conversion
One of the main things that you have to think about during your attic conversion project is what you want to do with the walls and ceiling. The first thing that you have to do is double check to make sure that there are no holes or cracks in the walls and ceilings. Remember that while a small hole might have been acceptable for an attic, it is not acceptable for a finished room. Therefore, repairs should be at the top of your list for your attic conversion.
Next, you want to be sure that the attic has adequate insulation on both the walls and the ceiling. Remember that this will now be an actual room, so you want to treat it as such. It is important that you fix any insulation problems before you refinish the walls and ceilings. You do not want any cracks or holes to ruin your new sheetrock or finishing materials.
Last, you will be painting the walls and the ceiling, depending on how sloped the ceiling might be. Bright colors are important for attics, because they will make the space look and feel bigger, as well. A freshly painted wall is the first step to a finished attic conversion project.

nCraveThe first code will be released on Wednesday at 10 am ET. Each code is usually valid for 1 hour after it is released. When each code becomes available, we will post the codes in the comments section for this post so you can find them easily. Once you see the code, just copy and paste it into the Swag Code box on their website, the SwagButton on your desktop or their Mobile App.See all the details about the Extravaganza at Swagbucks.com HERE.New to Swagbucks?
If you don't know about Swagbucks yet, it's the largest rewards website that gives people free gift cards for the things they do online (searching, shopping, watching videos, playing games and more). You earn points called SB for online activities and then you can cash them in for gift cards to places like Amazon, Target, Walmart, CVS, Lowes, Starbucks, Paypal, Bass Pro Shops, Kohl's and so many more! It's free to join and I have earned a bunch of gift cards in the many years I have been a member.How do you get these SB points? There are lots of ways.* Search online: Each time you need to search for something online, use the Swagbucks search engine on their website (instead of Google). I actually have the Swagbucks toolbar installed on my desktop and it places a search box right on my screen making it super easy to search. Every once in a while, they award SB points just for doing the searches I used to do using Google.* Take surveys on their website* Answer the daily poll* Watch videos through their website or multiple mobile apps (I earn about 80 - 100 SB a day doing this)* Use their online shopping portal (I do most of my online shopping at major retailers who are part of the Swagbucks Shop and Earn program (like Amazon.com, Kohls.com, Walmart.com and more) and earn Swagbucks every time I shop. Just this week, I was credited with 562 SB points (worth $5.62 in gift cards) for an online purchase I made a few weeks ago.* Play games* Participate in special Swag Code events* Enter the daily Swag Code (which we usually let you know about here on the blog each day). Swagbucks posts bonus codes on their Facebook, Twitter and blog pages each day. If you have the Swagbucks Mobile App, it will buzz when there is a new code. When the code becomes available each day, one of us posts it here on the blog so we can all get it. The codes are only valid for an hour usually. Once you get the code, you then copy and paste the code into the Swag Code box at the top of the homepage of Swagbucks.com. Look for the circle with the words Swag Code next to it.New member bonus Swagbucks sign-up code!As I posted above, new members get a 70 SB bonus when you sign up HERE. To get the bonus SB points, click the text that reads "I have a sign up code" during registration and then enter the code: SMARTSHOPPER to get the bonus. Make sure you use all caps since it is case sensitive.How I earn Swagbucks every day
Swagbucks can take up as little or as much time as you want. Most of the activities I chose to do are ones I can do passively while I am working because I don't have a bunch of time to devote to it.When you make your 1st Daily Goal you get an additional bonus and my goal each day is to reach my 1st goal. It's usually between 90 and 105 SB per day. I usually don't get enough SB in a day to make my 2nd goal. If you make your 1st goal all month long, you get an additional 300 SB at the beginning of the next month in addition to the daily goal bonus you make for each day you make your goal.These are the activities I do every day and get about 100 SB each day doing them.* Running videos on my phone through the Swagbucks App (you can earn up to 10 SB per day per app)*Running videos through Watch on my desktop computer (you can earn something like 500 per day but I get about 50 - 70 per day)* Take the Daily Poll for 1 SB (link is on the homepage on the left side)* Go through the Daily Offers (NOSO offers) every day (2 SB). For NOSO, I just click More Deals to move on to the next one (unless I see one I want to sign up for). The link for NOSO is on the homepage on the left side.*Enter the daily Swag Code for 2 – 4 SB each day. They usually post it on their Facebook page sometime between 12 noon and 7 pm on the hour. I have the Swagbucks app and it buzzes when there is a new code. EVen if I am not t my computer, I can enter it in the Swagbucks Mobile App and still get the points. Every Monday, the code is only available to enter in teh Mobile App.* Before I shop online anywhere, I first go to Swagbucks Shop to see if they are a Swagbucks participating store. If so, I buy through the Swagbucks portal to earn SB points just by making purchases I already planned to make. I'll be getting back 288 SB points in the next week from a purchase I made online a few weeks ago at Amazon. The stores I usually shop online through Swagbucks are Amazon, Kohl's, Walmart, and Groupon. They have hundreds of different participating merchants from travel sites to retailers and more.Some people have good luck with the surveys, which can pay out big SB points. I often get disqualified and I don't really have extra time for taking surveys these days so I don't do them very often.I also go to the Discover section when I have extra time to see if there are any offers I want to do in the Radium One, Trial Pay or OfferToro section. There are usually a few articles in the Radium One section that only require you to click on them to get the 1 SB. Those are usually ones that have Article or Therapy in the title like the Insulin Therapy one today or the Fighting Diabetes Article today. Most of them require too much time to click through all the screens to be worth my time. And the ones with a required Captcha at the end often don't credit for me so I don't do those anymore.

DeLorme Earthmate GPS PN-20 Information/Disassembly/Assembly - Jonathan Istranyi
Global Positioning System or GPS is a satellite-navigation system that consists of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. Originally GPS was solely intended for military use, costing the U.S. billions of dollars to build and maintain. Finally in the 1980's the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS was used by hikers to navigate through the wilderness and by boaters and fishermen to find their whereabouts in the open sea and surveyors use GPS to position themselves on a particular site within one centimeter of their intended destination. The most popular GPS application and the most recent is the navigation system within a motor vehicle.
How GPS Works
For the GPS (in this case Earthmate PN-20) to know where it is located, the GPS needs to know where the satellites location and distance as compared to the GPS. The GPS receives two different types of data the almanac and ephemeris. The almanac data contains approximate positions (locations) of the satellites, which is continuously transmitted and stored in the memory of the GPS receiver so it knows where the orbits of the satellites and where each satellite is suppose to be. If a satellite travels slightly out of orbit, ground monitoring stations are always keeping track of the satellite orbits, altitude, location and speed. The ground monitoring stations are always sending data to a master control station, which in turn sends corrected data up to the satellites, this is corrected data is known as ephemeris. Once the GPS receiver knows the location of a satellite, the receiver must determine the distance between the receiver and the satellite so that it can determine its position on earth. The velocity of the radio wave is 186,000 miles per second (speed of light) and the time it takes for the signal to get to the receiver determines the distance between the receiver and the satellite, thus giving the GPS receiver a location.
There are many sources of error associated with GPS. Signals can be slowed as it passes through the atmosphere, the system uses a built-in model that calculates an average, but no exact amount of delay can be determined. Signal multi-path errors originate from signals reflecting off of tall buildings or large rock sources before it reaches the receiver. These same tall buildings can also block signals from satellites, the smaller amount of satellites the less accurate the GPS becomes.
Wide Area Augmentation System or WAAS was first created by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide exceptional positioning information when pilots are found in deteriorating weather conditions or when visual navigation becomes impossible. A network of 25 ground reference stations or Wide Area Reference Stations (WRS) that cover the entire U.S. and some of Canada and Mexico. Each station is in a precisely surveyed location where they compare GPS distance measurements to known values. Each station is connected to the WAAS Master Station (WMS) where GPS information is collected and forwarded to through a terrestrial communications network. At the WMS, the WAAS augmentation messages are generated these messages contain information that allows GPS receivers to remove errors in the GPS signal. The errors removed from the signal increase the accuracy of the measured location. In aircrafts WAAS receivers typically have accuracies of 3 to 5 meters horizontally and 3 to 7 meters in altitude.
WAAS is now being used by regular GPS receivers for a more precise location. WAAS also provides indications to GPS?WAAS receivers of where the GPS system is unusable due to system errors or other effects. Also the WAAS system was designed to notify users within six seconds of any issuance of hazardously misleading information that would cause an error in the GPS position estimate.
Uses of GPS
Global Positioning System, GPS, has a wide variety of uses for the military as well as everyday applications for the private sector.
Private Sector Uses
The most common use of GPS in the private sector is for navigation. Navigation is becoming a standard feature in most automobiles. The navigation units in these automobiles do more than take you from point A to point B, they also list numerous points of interest, helping people unfamiliar with an area find these locations. This GPS navigation is not only limited to automobiles, it is used in boats, as well as planes. On commercial, as well as recreational, boats, GPS is used to navigate around the waters. It provides a much more accurate navigation assistance than the manual navigation tools from years past. Airplanes, commercial and private, use GPS technologies as well. Air traffic control towers use the GPS technology to track every plane that is in the air. The information that is gathered can help prevent disasters, such as in air collisions. The pilots of the plane use GPS to help them stay on route, preventing such disasters as well.
Hand-held GPS units are being used for a wide variety of recreational activities. Snowmobiling, hiking, biking, hunting, etc., are some of the recreational activities that use GPS devices to help navigate through the woods, mountains, and other areas. It allows these people to venture off the trails without fear of getting lost.
The majority of cellular phones are now being equipped with GPS capabilities. These phones are able to give turn by turn directions. These GPS capabilities also allow that phones location to be pin-pointed. This can be done on a personal computer, but more importantly, it is used by 911 services to find out the location where emergency calls are placed.
The use of GPS is starting to be used in the construction field. GPS devices are being installed on earth moving equipment in order to make grading job sites easier. The device that is mounted on the machine works with earthwork design programs such as Agtek. The site file, with the correct grades, is loaded into the on board computer, and the program shows the operator what level to have the blade, in order to achieve the correct grades. This technology is eliminating the need for a surveyor to stake the site before grading can begin. GPS surveying equipment is also allowing great advances in the study of earthquakes.
Military Uses
Like the private sector, the military uses GPS for navigation purposes. It helps the soldiers coordinate movements for supplies and missions. It also gives them the ability to move at night or in an area that they don't have much information on. When gathering information on an area, reconnaissance missions are performed, these missions, coupled with GPS technologies allow maps to be created of the area to aid in war.
Soldiers and pilots are being equipped with GPS receivers, so that in the event that they are lost, or an aircraft goes down, it is easier for their fellow soldiers to find and rescue them.
GPS is used to track and identify possible enemy targets. These GPS units are able to track targets on the ground and in the air. Once the target is confirmed to be an enemy, it can be engaged by the many GPS guided weapons. Missiles, precision guided munitions, etc. Having the exact coordinates of the enemy, and the use of the GPS, minimizes civilian casualties.
DeLorme Earthmate GPS PN-20
GPS Software
General Information
The unit being disassembled below is the DeLorme Earthmate GPS PN-20. It was received in new condition. The entire contents of the package are shown below:
The package includes: GPS unit, installation CD, topographic map CDs, operations/maintenance manuals, carrying bag, memory card, vehicle charger/adaptor, A/C wall adaptor, cable connectors (USB and eight-pin) as well as LCD covers for the unit's screen.
This GPS unit is compatible with computers, cars, and boats. It can also be used as a handheld device with map information stored on a SD memory card (1GB SD card included with package) that is inserted behind the two AA batteries that are used to power the device (see diagrams below for more information. The device is very sturdy yet compact, easily concealed yet able to withstand the elements for wherever you go.

Curves of Overlapping Pseudoranges
Disassembly Procedure
The disassembly of the DeLorme Earthmate GPS PN-20 is a fairly simple procedure. It requires the use of only one 1/16" computer screwdriver.
1. The first step to disassemble the unit is to flip it over to the back side and remove the two screws holding the battery plate in place. This can be done by hand as the two screws have handles for ease of untwisting the screws.
2. The second step to disassemble the unit is to unscrew the remained eight screws holding the bottom half of the GPS unit to the top half. For this step a screwdriver is required. The top two screws (near the lanyard loop) are the smallest screws. The remaining six screws (all of equal length and size) are fastened into place with rubber washers most likely to maintain the unit's waterproof case, two screws of the remaining six are on the sides of the eight-pin connector and the remaining four screws are removed from the wells behind the now removed battery plate. *Note* The four screws behind the battery plate, while easily unfastened from the top half of the GPS unit are difficult to remove from their respective wells and thus are not shown in the corresponding diagram.
3. The third step to disassemble the unit is to remove the upper and lower halves of the GPS unit now that the screws that have held them in place have been removed. Once opened it should resemble the corresponding image shown above on this page. The innards of the Earthmate GPS PN-20 consist of a slot to insert a SD card for topography data and other various maps, several wires connecting to both the battery power supply and the eight-pin connector. The motherboard itself contains various chips and circuits for processing data, displaying the LCD screen, and operating the button user interface on the front of the GPS unit.

Assembly of the DeLorme Earthmate GPS PN-20 follows the steps of disassembly except in reverse. The same tool, a simple Philip's head screwdriver, is all that is required. If the disassembly instructions were followed properly there should be difficulty reassembling the GPS unit.
After Assembly
After reassembling the GPS unit, insert two charged AA batteries and press the power symbol button on the front of the device. If the LCD screen powers up with access to all its functions, the device is ready for operation.

Guide to Writing Wiki Code
The beauty about Wiki is that if you don't know the code, you can steal it from someone's page that does. Feel free to click the "edit" links or tabs to view the code for sections or the pages respectively. Be weary about wrecking havoc on another's page. Each page can be rollbacked to a previous verison and your username is linked to all changes. Although you might think it's cool to go through and insert "MIKE RULES" throughout the page, I'm sure Dr. Lewis would not be pleased.
Here's a few tips on writing with Wiki:
This is a bracket "[" "]"
This is a brace "{" "}"
To create a new page/link within Wiki:
- Double brackets, page name, double brackets
- Typing in a new page name will automatically create a page, which when clicked, you can then edit.
- Whatever name you first type in is the name of the page. You can't change page names, only create new pages. Think before you create a new page.
- Don't worry about slashes or anything, all pages are located in the same directory. If I wanted to create a page called "MAE 277 Template" the code would be ''MAE 277 Template'' Note: Brackets are italicized to prevent creating a new page.
Your table of contents is created automatically.
- 1,2,3,4 are level 2 sections
- 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 are level 3 headers
To create headers:
- Section titles are wrapped with two equal signs ==My favorite header==
- Bold headers within a section are wrapped with three equal signs ===My not-so-favorite header===
Asterisks indicate bullets. Be sure to put each asterisk on a new line.
- Here's one
- Here's two *Here's three, but its not on the next line
Bold text:
- Start line with "b" in "<>". Be sure to end the line with "/b" in "<>" if you don't want the whole paragraph to be bold.
- Surround text to be bolded with three " ' " marks on either side. Or highlight the text and click the "B" button on the toolbar.
- "i" in "<>". Don't forget to end with "/i" in "<>"
- Highlight the text and click the "I" button in the toolbar (It will put four " ' " on either side).
This is a broken link media file caption
Media tags are indicated by "Media:", images by "Image:" Broken links in red. Case is not important. Use the toolbar to get examples if you're not sure.
Spacing is werid in wiki. Single return does nothing.
Double return (blank line), breaks the line.
Triple return (two blank lines), puts an extra blank line between lines of text.
"br" in "<>" will break lines. They can also be used to separate section headers.
Finally, use the "Show Preview" button on the bottom of the page to see how it looks before saving. It will allow you to catch and edit your errors without having to edit the page again. Just don't forget to save it when you're really done.
This is an example table
See help page for more information on the syntax.
|This is Column Header 1
|This is Column Header 2
|This is Column Header 3
|This starts Row 1
|Width values (pixels) in header are used to designate the width of the column for the entire table. Text will wrap but it helps to control the layout. Height of the row is determined by the row's largest content
|A return and single vertical lines separate columns in rows. A double vertical line is necessary if you don't break up the text for cells.
|This starts Row 2
|"br" in brackets
break lines. Wiki sometimes ignores blank lines.
|Some html tags can be used, but not many. Notice the align equals center tag at the beginning of the row. It centers the text in the first two columns, but doesn't work for the third column. I don't know why. Adding the tag again to the beginning of the cell in question will center the text.
|This starts Row 3
|Image tags are in this format:
|This starts Row 4
|Notice the repeating code for every row? It's important. A vertical line and a dash indicate the start of a new row. An exclamation point indicates the first column. You can put the entire row onto a single line, but it's easier to read if you break it up. Again, wiki usually ignores new paragraphs.
|Make sure to end the table correctly (vertical line and closed brace). Not doing so might still display the table, but nothing that comes afterwards.
