While the amount of HD exclusive channels continues to (slowly) grow, it was Mark Cuban's own HDNet and HDNet Movies that took home the gold in the "first high-definition TV ratings" acquired by TNS Media Research. The data was gathered from set-top-boxes in an unnamed "major market," and the two channels were said to "excel in both weekday and weekend" ratings. For the week ending July 1st, the channels held between 6.1-percent and 8.6-percent of the viewers that were tuned into 100-percent HD channels, which simply leaves us to wonder what the other 90 or so percent of eyes were watching so intently.

I think apple really got it down pat with the iPad2- the apps are better and it does not freeze anymore (my first one did and was slow w everything).
Interesting... One of my fellow employees who updated from the iPad 1 to the iPad 2 said the exact opposite! He said that he's noticed apps crashing more than they did on his iPad 1!! Anyone else have any input on this?
The iPad 2 works better. Multitasking, or just switching between apps is much smoother and apps crash less. On iPad 1 apps were often force closed due to low memory.
Yep, the Ipad 2 is a great device. I was going to get an Ipad 1 but waited for the Ipad 2 to come out. And when I compare it to others who have the first Ipad you can tell a difference in the speed.
As a developer, this thing caused us nightmares for a while. It is much, much better from a tech viewpoint, but the graphics drivers that sit under the hood are not as stable as for the old iPad. We've fixed our own problems, but I think moving forward it's bound to get better as new firmware updates come out.
That's interesting to know, thanks for that! Always good to see from a dev viewpoint. from Somerset UK on my iPad using IPF app
I have 1 and 2. I still like my 1 just fine. 2 is faster, but 1 is no slouch. My apps are stable on both. Both of mine are in identical cases and colors (black), and I often forget which one I'm using. I don't play games, though, and maybe there's a big difference between 1 and 2 when it comes to that; I wouldn't know. I bought a second iPad because I wanted a backup while charging and synching. I would've been happy with a second iPad 1, but figured iPad 2 might get a generation or two more in firmware updates. I bought my husband an iPad 1 on clearance, and he's happy with it.

Your wedding ring is your vow on your finger. At Gemvara, we believe that the wedding band you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why all our wedding rings are made from scratch in your choice of gems and precious metals to perfectly symbolize your love.
Not sure you can find a matching wedding band style you'll both love? Don't worry: today it's more common to have two different styles.

If you want different wedding rings that are still connected, you can choose the same gem, precious metal, or symbol to link your two rings.
Our impressive selection of Sterling Silver Fire Opal Wedding Rings by talented jewelry designers means you can find a style that's perfect for you. Because all Gemvara Sterling Silver Fire Opal Wedding Rings are made to order, we'll also make your ring to fit your finger perfectly. Request a free ring sizing kit if you're not sure of your size. Our Sterling Silver Fire Opal Wedding Rings are created just for you in the finest materials. Found in lava flows, fire opal has a flame-like orange color that is impossible to ignore. Although fire opal is most common in domed cabochon cuts, Gemvara's fire opal is faceted for extra brilliance. Opal is an October birthstone and the 14th anniversary gem.Gemvara crafts its silver jewelry in premium Argentium, a 96% pure silver alloy with a shine that lasts up to ten times longer. After testing the durability and tarnish resistance of all silver alloys on the market, Gemvara selected Argentium 960, the finest silver, which stays bright longer than any other silver.
With a little care, your wedding rings will wear beautifully. Clean Sterling Silver Fire Opal Wedding Rings in a bowl of water with a little mild dish soap. You can use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality Sterling Silver Fire Opal Wedding Rings are designed to be passed down for generations, hand-crafted by skilled craftspeople in the United States.

As two more senior chief constables urged a review of the laws on prostitution in the wake of the call by Keith Hellawell, the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire, for licensed brothels, forces will come under pressure to take a more relaxed attitude to saunas selling sex.
Whatever the moral majority thinks, supporters of the Edinburgh policy - which include councillors and women's groups - can point to its success in keeping prostitutes off the streets and away from the associated crime and drugs.
A senior council official in Edinburgh said yesterday: "We do not legalise prostitution, but we do grant public entertainment licences in terms of the Civil Government (Scotland) Act. That Act authorises for places of entertainment. It is left for each local authority to interpret the definition of entertainment."
Licence applications for saunas are considered by the council's committee along with applications for amusement arcades, children's bouncy castles and bungee jumps.
The official went on: "The number of saunas in Edinburgh remains static, at around 20, and there are regular checks on environmental health and safety grounds. Most are granted licence renewals without difficulty, and officially the council is in ignorance of what goes on inside.
"The anxieties that the police have raised from time to time have been in relation to the applicant, rather than the application. If you have an establishment you are taking women off the streets. Given the choice of plying their trade on the streets, or in a regulated establishment, the establishment is always safer. But prostitution is not legal so we can't condone it in any way."
The only public opposition to the policy comes when residents object to saunas being set up in established residential areas.
The council's licensing convener, Douglas Kerr admitted that the process of licensing has not always been smooth. "We had real problems when we were taken to court after we granted a public entertainment licence to a sauna in Leith" he explained. "We were successfully challenged that we had granted a public entertainment licence knowing the premises were to be used for prostitution. Since then we have had to be much more careful about what we regulate. But large numbers of women on the streets would be to nobody's advantage."
Police only take action in response to complaints. In a typical case earlier this month, a proprietor was fined pounds 500 for running a sauna and massage establishment, Scorpio Leisure, where six women aged from 20 to 49 were providing sexual services. Police obtained a search warrant after complaints about cars being parked outside the premises and men hanging about in the area.
The policy has attracted widespread interest among other forces, including West Yorkshire, West Midlands and Avon and Somerset.
Margaret McGregor, deputy convener of the City of Edinburgh Council and chairman of the city's women's committee, said it was safer for women to work from properly licensed saunas. "It's easier to give advice to them on things like health checks, contraception and other issues, including safety. We have had a lot of positive feedback from women and women's groups. I feel that most women generally would support our sauna policy. It takes prostitutes off the streets.
"You read in the papers about prostitutes being killed in other cities, including Glasgow. This does not happen in Edinburgh with our policy in operation. The other thing is that they pay income tax because they are in proper employment and are therefore contributing financially to society."
Lothian and Borders police would not be drawn on the moral issues involved but a spokesman said: "Saunas are granted licences by the council. If we receive any specific complaint regarding any premises which are licensed under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act by the local authority, then we will investigate that matter, but there has to be a specific complaint connected to the licensing aspect of the premises."
June Taylor, a former Edinburgh prostitute who also worked the streets of London in the early Seventies and is co-ordinator of Shiva, Scottish HIV Action, a support group for prostitutes said yesterday: "I welcome the chief constable's statement. A leading policeman in Britain has at long last said that the current legislation in Britain is not working.
"I think he is right to point that aspects of the model currently being used in Edinburgh could be adopted and changed to suit other cities in Britain.
"However, what society currently needs is politicians to address this issue and to give a guidance to local authorities in England and Wales so that they could create a regulated set-up with prostitutes ...
"Decriminalising the prostitutes and focusing valuable police recourses on those who would exploit and pimp our young people is the only way forward. We should be tackling the people who would procure our women."

A study being released today finds that bisphenol A, a chemical widely used to make plastic and suspected of causing cancer, stays in the body much longer than previously thought. The findings are significant because the longer the chemical lingers in the body, the greater chance it has of doing harm, scientists say.
Researchers from the University of Rochester in New York also say the chemical may get into the body from sources such as plastic water pipes or dust from carbonless paper and not only from food containers that leach the chemical when heated.

(Japanese: 動き始める首領 The Boss Gets Off) is the 275th round of the Pokémon Adventures manga.
Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details. |
While Red and Blue train with Kimberly, a gang of Bikers arrive on Three Island. One of the members tells the leader that the island is also called "Kin Island", due to the "parent" island being connected to the smaller "child" island via the Bond Bridge. After hearing about the Berry Forest, the leader decides to steal all of the Berries inside and burn the place to the ground. Suddenly, a girl chasing a Dunsparce emerges from the grass. She runs in front of the gang, forcing them to stop right in front of her. The leader gets angry at the girl and begins threatening her with violence. Before he can continue, a red humanoid Pokémon jumps up from the grass and goes on rampage, destroying the Bikers' bikes and sending the villains flying.
Back on One Island, Bill carries a bunch of tools with his Farfetch'd. He worries about Red and Blue's decision to go train with Kimberly, but shrugs it off as he goes to fix the Storage System. Bill passes by Green's room, where she still sleeps after the incident from earlier. Bill flashes back to earlier, when Red and Blue left Green in his care. Before they leave, Bill asks Red if he finds it strange that they found three Fame Checkers and envelopes addressed to Red, Blue, and Green despite the fact that Green already had a Tri-Pass and returned her Pokédex to her. Bill wonders what message is on her Fame Checker and what is inside her envelope. Red agrees with Bill's thoughts, but decides that since they're for Green, it should be her who inspects them. In the present, Celio tells Bill that they're done and he should go to the Network Machine. They notice that the system is being affected by an energy field, but aren't sure how it happened.
On Three Island, the Pokémon holds the Biker gang's leader up by his neck. After glaring at the Biker, the Pokémon tosses him aside and flies off. The terrified Biker notices another person has arrived and begs them for help. The person simply smacks the Biker away, angering him into thinking that the person must be allied with the monster that attacked him. In retalation, he sends out his Magmar to attack, but the other person has his Nidoking attack with Rock Tomb. The mysterious person tells the Biker that he will have to try harder if he wants to be a bad guy. The man is revealed to be Giovanni, who corrects the Biker by stating that the monster is actually a Pokémon named Deoxys.
Major events
- On Three Island, a gang of Bikers attempt to destroy the area, but are stopped by the mysterious Pokémon.
- The Pokémon is revealed to be named Deoxys.
- Giovanni is revealed to be at the Sevii Islands.

During a hearing on raising the minimum wage, Sen. Bernie Sanders got the ranking Republican on the committee to admit that he wants to abolish the minimum wage.
During a debate on Sen. Tom Harken's legislation that would raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour at a hearing of Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, the ranking Republican on the committee admitted that he wants to abolish the minimum wage.
Sanders said, "There are certain conservatives who do not believe in the concept of the minimum wage. The concept of the minimum wage. In other words, if the economy as such, and I offer you three dollars an hour."
Ranking Republican on the committee Lamar Alexander jumped in, and it led to this telling exchange:
Sanders: So you do not believe in the concept of the minimum wage?
Alexander: That's correct.
Sanders: You would abolish the minimum wage?
Alexander: Correct.
Sanders: If someone had to work for two bucks an hour, they would work for two bucks an hour?
Sen. Alexander compared the minimum wage to welfare, and said that he would use a "targeted" approach through increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit. Raising the EITC won't do anything for people who are living week to week and paycheck to paycheck working minimum wage jobs, so in reality, Alexander would do nothing.
Alexander's objections were not based on economic reasons. They were based on myth an ideology. Sen. Sanders argued with data that raising the minimum wage does not hurt the economy. Sen. Alexander argument against the existence of a minimum wage was based on the idea that it is like welfare, and welfare is bad.
The minimum wage issue is toxic poison to Republicans, but they keep thumping their chests with an air of superiority and telling people how their hard work doesn't deserve to be paid a living wage.
A few weeks ago, President Obama called for the minimum wage to be increased to a living wage. Sen. Harken's (D-IA) does exactly that. In large cities like New York, there would still be a small gap between the minimum and the living wage, but Harkin's legislation would significantly narrow the difference between what minimum wage pays and the amount that minimum wage workers need to earn in order to survive.
Democrats, and Independents like Sen. Sanders, need to keep pushing this issue to the top of the agenda. The Democratic/progressive/liberal position is popular with voters, and Republicans are so blinded by their own ideology that they have no idea how much they hurt themselves every time they talk about the subject.
Bernie Sanders demonstrated how easy it is get a Republican to open mouth and insert foot on the minimum wage issue. Democrats everywhere should learn this lesson for 2014.

Arya Update
Arya is a healthy, naughty little kitten. She loves to eat and I think she's already grown quite a bit. The second you touch her, she starts to purr like crazy. She sleeps a lot and likes to play. I got her some leopard pattern balls to play with, but she's satisfied with almost anything she finds. The only thing I don't like about her is the same as with all young cats/dogs. She bites. And scratches. I know this will pass, but you should see my arms. =) She sleeps in my room, in a basket which used to be Gaia's sleeping place (I still miss her so much) and later Jimi's sleeping place. I bought a little cat blanket with cat paws and fish bones on it, to make it more comfortable and she loves it. In the evening she comes to cuddle on my bed and after an hour, she leaves and rolls into her basket.
Arya still isn't best friends with Aishila and Jimi, but that takes time. Every once in a while I'd see Aishila and Arya playing and rolling on the floor, but Arya becomes too defensive really fast. =)
She got bitch slapped by Jimi a couple of times, just to get the idea of who the boss is. They're getting along better now.
Speaking of Jimi. I had to post this one. She looks so regal.
And look at her profile. Perfection.
OK, back to Arya. She managed to ruin one of my mother's plants already. First, she was sleeping on top of it (I guess it was really cosy and soft) and then she knocked it on the floor. Who could be mad at her, right?
Her sleeping poses are ridiculous. Sometimes I'm wondering if she has broken bones in her body... These are one of the not so weird poses.
She didn't leave the house for the first couple of days, but she's getting more and more curious about the outdoors. She wants to sniff everything, see everything and hear everything. There will be more time to do that in the summer though.
One more thing: some of you mentioned her sad eyes. Yes, her eyes do look sad, but I can assure you, she's a very happy little kitten. =)
I don't think of her previous owner much anymore. I went to the vet and got her flea treatment and pills for internal parasites - one thing they didn't take care of, so I think she'll be better off with me. She'll get spayed in a couple of months and I hope that will be the last bad experience she'll have to go through in her life.
P.S: She just cracked me up with one of her before-going-to-bed-episodes. Her claw got stuck in a slipper she was fighting with and then she ran from the room. With the slipper. XD Yeah, she's a bit coo-coo.
Thanks for looking and commenting!

Joooj kako luštni muci <3
Arya ima res žalostne učke, na prav vseh slikah :) ampak je čudovita, takoj bi ti jo ukradla. Jimi je pa res tak kraljev mačkonar. S tako ponosno držo.
Moram pa omenit (ker sem verjetno že...), da ti zavidam crkljive mačke. Naš ti raje roko odgrizne, kot pa bi se pustil božat/čohat/bit v naročju/karkoli podobnega. Stisnit se pa pride samo k mami pa še to takrat, ko spi na kavču. Poseben mačkonar ki mu manjka samo malo več crkljivosti :)- AnonymousNovember 29, 2011 at 4:21 AM
How wonderful! I really love the sleeping pic that shows all the funky positions...purr...our kitten was a major scratcher too, oww! Being cute sure lets ya get away with alot.
ReplyDelete I love seeing your cats and reading about them, just as much as I love seeing polish honestly. Jimi is really beautiful! And I keep thinking that Arya was so lucky to meet you. Give her a bright red toy to play with, red should be the colour cats see best. My cats would choose the red toys ever if you give them to choose. All of them! My mother used to have a strawberry shaped shopping bag, those that you can open and become shopping bags, or you keep closed and small into your purse. Well, my youngest kitten had understood the strawberry could be found in the purse and anytime we weren't paying attention she would squeeze herself into the purse to grab the (red!) strawberry. She actually ruined a couple purses to open them with her claws. In the end, my mom bought a new bag, purple, and the cat won the strawberry.
ReplyDeleteShe looks abbolutely amazing, absolutely gourgeous. Reminds of my almost 6-year-old baby that I call Rony Weasley. He also sleeps in the most weird positions. On is first day with me, he wouldn't leave me for anything. I was at the computer working and he just went on the desk, almost cuddling the mouse. Of course I took a picture and it's my all-time favourite. He's lovely, and along with my dogs, they mean the world for me.
ReplyDeleteJimi reminds me sooo much of my kitty Jade. She looks just like her and she's the one in charge also.
My cat Paloma sleeps in the strangest positions always stretched out laying on her back with her arms up abover her head. I caught her one time with one arm raised and the other on her chest with her head back. My other cat Penelope is the opposite always curled up tightly.
I'll stop here, but Arya is so adorable. I love her sad eyes.

Anybody out there ever seen or used one of these? http://speyrods.blogspot.com/ Thinking this might be my next build......
Have talk to Tim about them but haven't tried one. I found a switch blank from the 70's or 80's that is part or all fiberglass. The builder isn't sure if it is all glass. It was found it the back of a shop and got 8 blanks. I found out about them from another site. It will be a 11' 7wt rod. It is being built right now, should have it in a couple of weeks. Can't wait.
Did find out today that the fiberglass one I'm having built, all the blanks are taken and there are no more. Sorry.
Can't answer that directly as the make up of the handle/etc., could vary same by an ounce (or more?). But if John and I are talking about 'Apples and Apples' I have the first of the 'switch rods' built out of that blank. It is fibre glass through and through and it's 'casting style' is almost a mirror image of Bamboo. Line that came with mine was a bit over 300 grains, and it's very much on the light side for this 'stick.' Threaded on a 420 grain Scandi and the thing casts like a bullet coming out of a rifle barrel. BUT, and here's a big BUT, the action of this rod is waaaaaay different that any carbon fiber 2-hander you'll ever cast. Most 2-handers I can pick up and a half dozen casts or so have the rod/line somewhat 'dialed in.' Not this Puppy! Took me darned near a half hour before I had a A HA! There are several 'styles' of two handed casting and this rod 'demands' the 'under-hand' type of work. Arms/elbows in close and most of the cast work done by the lower hand/top hand is more of a 'fulcrum' rather than the one that puts the power to the cast. That aside, a treat to cast ... and Baby had her first "Fish On" last week. Pity it only lasted a few seconds before the #8 hook pulled out. Fred
Awesome Fred, mine will be on the way this week. Steve made a 410 grain 34.75 scandi head for summer fishing. I will let you know what I think. Hope this helps Mojo, and good luck!!
EXCELLENT! The line Steve sent me was (memory here) 320 grains-31 foot and it will work ... just barely. Loaded on a 420 grain/31' Scandi (RIO?) and 9' leader/ heavy fly and ZOOM! Was fishing a current seam 75-80 foot off the bank and when the leader/head/shooting line came to a stop against the SpeyCo reel it actually still had enough force going to pull a few inches of line off the reel. Now that's a cool thing; had to 'mellow out' my casting stroke. Don't wait for summer, this Puppy will handle a good sized Winter Run. Fred Edit: Mojo, if the action of that rod (sounds a tad shorter than the blanks Steve got his hands on (very similar story I might add) you'll love the rod. It has ... what's the word? ... Ah! ... MOJO. :>)

Question marks abound for UT
Updated 8:34 pm, Saturday, August 4, 2012
AUSTIN — The Texas Longhorns report to campus today, officially beginning their 15th preseason football camp under coach Mack Brown and their 21st consecutive month without a clear-cut starting quarterback.
But while the competition between sophomore David Ash and junior Case McCoy remains the most pressing issue for a team ranked No. 15 nationally in the preseason USA Today coaches' poll, the Longhorns have other significant details to sort out in the next four weeks. Express-News staff writer Mike Finger takes a look at four non-QB areas at which UT will look for an answer before the Sept. 1 opener against Wyoming:
In 2011, the Longhorns experienced mixed results under first-year play-caller Bryan Harsin, and one reason for the inconsistency is UT didn't get the big-play production it wanted from its tight ends. D.J. Grant, now a senior, showed a couple of flashes last year, but he's being pushed hard by redshirt freshman M.J. McFarland, who teammates are calling a star of offseason workouts.
One of the unquestioned strengths of Harsin's offense in 2011 was the production of its direct-snap "Wild" formation, but the key to that set — tailback Fozzy Whittaker — is gone. Whittaker had an uncanny knack for taking the snap and making the right read, and now UT will look to a variety of candidates to find a replacement. Sophomore Malcolm Brown, freshman Johnathan Gray, freshman quarterback Jalen Overstreet and even sophomore wideout Jaxon Shipley could get looks.
It's not necessarily a paradox that the Longhorns might boast one of the nation's best defensive lines even though they don't have sure-fire starters at either inside spot. What UT lacks in experience inside it more than makes up for with potential and depth. Heralded junior college transfer Brandon Moore and blue-chip freshman Malcom Brown join a group that already includes junior Ashton Dorsey, sophomore Desmond Jackson and junior Chris Whaley.
For two years, Justin Tucker admirably handled the punting and placekicking duties for the Longhorns, but after providing UT's 2011 highlight with a game-winning field goal against Texas A&M, he's gone. In-house candidates Will Russ and Ben Pruitt were so ineffective in the spring that UT looked elsewhere for help, and might have found it with transfers. Punter Alex King of Duke and kicker Anthony Fera of Penn State are eligible to compete immediately, and they hope to provide enough stability to allow UT to worry about more important things.
Like who's going to play quarterback.

Editors' Review
+Christmas is coming; in fact, it's always coming. Get in the spirit with a festive animated 3D screensaver that also counts down the days until Christmas with 3D Magic Christmas Toy Shop, which turns your desktop into a window on Santa's workshop. It plays music to a variety of animated activities, including a toy train, an elf on a rocking horse, a glittering Christmas tree, and a snowman dancing outside in the cold. You can easily alter the color balance to give, for example, a reddish or greenish glow, and change what falls from the sky. It displays the day, date, year, and time in addition to counting down to C-Day.
The free trial version downloads and installs easily and uninstalls just as neatly, should you decide not to keep it. Clicking Settings on the Screen Saver tab of the Display properties opens the program's colorful, easy-to-use controls. It will play up to 10 MP3s of your choice (the trial version only plays one, actually part of one, "Let It Snow," and it cloys quickly). Most controls are enabled in the trial version; however, the full version is only 10 bucks.
This is just one of many lively 3D animated screensavers from Unique3ddigital, and one of several holiday-themed offerings. It worked perfectly in Windows XP. Unfortunately, while it downloaded, installed, and even previewed in Vista Home Premium SP1, not even several complete uninstalls and reinstalls could get it to show up alongside the rest of the screensavers in the Display properties.

Hubby's Birthday Tablescape
Setting a manly table can be a bit of a challenge for a gal who loves pink....but here goes.....
Mr. Mid-Atlantic plays cards with the guys a couple of nights each month....so this table has a Poker night theme.
Let's see each set up for "Poker night". Aren't these fun theme plates? Well actually they're paper plates set under clear glass ones.
a fun and thrifty way to set a theme. It's been dark and rainy all day, so I had to turn on the lights....you can see the plate a bit better without the glass glare.
Black dinner plates came from K-mart last year.
These gold rimmed glass chargers were an eBay purchase about 5 years ago. I was able to get 12 and I've used them a lot over the years.
Black and white checked tablecloth and the black iron "Treble clef" flatware were also eBay purchases.
I found these pilsner glasses at Goodwill this summer.
Cards made a fun coaster.
How's this for a manly sort of centerpiece?
I found this plate of cards on another Goodwill trip.
An old cigar box set on top of a pillar candle holder.
A pretty good hand held by an antique flower frog.
A bouquet of cigars. Mr. Mid-Atlantic does like a cigar every now and then....but he's always polite about puffing outside.
Love this old box.
A backside view.
A couple of overviews.
These black and gold napkins seemed to pull it all together. They were found a couple of years ago at Tuesday Morning.
Happy Birthday Mr. Mid-Atlantic....hope it's a real winner!
Be sure to visit Susan at "Between Naps on the Porch" for this weeks tabletop fun!
See ya!

Fabulous idea, Martha! I know guys don't usually get too "ooo-wee!" about tablescapes, but he HAD to go ga-ga over this one! The cards as coasters is such a great idea!!! I love the way you mixed the patterns in the tablecloth and napkins. The contrasts are really striking! Great centerpiece that goes to show you don't HAVE to use flowers to make centerpieces cool!!! Men usually prefer it that way anyway with their silly selves! (Although I'm guessing that many of our husbands and partners have come to enjoy and appreciate our floral efforts! I know mine has, and he even has the nerve to gossip about those we see when we're out!) Rockin' to put the paper plate under the glass plate with the black charger! Hooray, you!!!!!!! Enjoy your weekend, Martha!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great table for the men and I love it too. I love black and white and I love checks. The card pattern on the paper plates is perfect for your masculine table. Love how you made a centerpiece and the cigar box so clever. I'm sure this was a big hit, and please give my birthday greeting to your husband. Happy Pink
The French HutchHappy Birthday to Mr M-A -- and what a creative and fun birthday dinner table! Brilliant. Love the use of the cards and cigars -- I'm going to have to remember elements of this one. Also ... putting the clear glass over the paper plate is fantastic.
There are so many gorgeous paper plate designs!

Monitor Audio's New Gold GX speakers
I was very impressed with the Monitor Audio PL200 that I reviewed last April; apparently, so were a lot of other audiophiles, but many were put off purchasing the speakers by the $8000/pair price. The new Monitor Audio Gold GX series is intended to appeal to these folks. The GX series offers most of the technology and aesthetic appeal of the Platinum, but at substantially lower prices. The GX300 is broadly similar in appearance and driver complement to the PL200, but costs an easier-on-the-wallet $5500/pair. It was making fine sounds at CES with Simaudio electronics and Simaudio digital source.

Yeah, contract or not, players, managers and exec generally become sour when you force them to pass up a promotion.
I don't really see why he would. He's got roughly the same position here, and he could be the next head coach of TOR if Casey screws up
Can we trade a coach for a draft pick and/or player?
The name's Bond, James Bond.
When I spoke to Nick Nurse, he gave me a blunt, "I don't know" and alluded that he might go with Kerr to NY. Now that Kerr is in Golden State, one can speculate even more.
That was weeks ago when we talked so maybe things have changed. He might stay, he might not.
Considering how hard it is to break into coaching at the NBA level, and how disposable coaches are, all coaches probably see themselves as mercenaries willing to take whatever opportunity is best for them.
Unless you're a Hall of Fame coach, most Execs, fans (and some players) have zero-loyalty to coaches. We shouldn't be surprised if coaches have zero-loyalty to an organization.
Not only do the Warriors have an intriguing roster, but Nurse would likely have more influence behind the scenes with a 1st year head coach at the helm, than here with Casey, who has been coaching for 20-plus years.

If we lose Nurse then the Casey re-hire will look shitty in hindsight. I have to think Masai is grooming Nurse as the coach of the future. The only thing he didn't have on his resume was NBA Assistant. He's had championship level success everywhere he has coached. He completely fixed Casey's retarded offense. Luckily MLSE is willing to spend now, because losing Nurse over $1M a year extra pay would be criminally stupid.
Was Nurse the guy recommending all those DD/Lowry ISOs, ignoring JV in the post and telling Ross to go sit in the corner? If yes, then, what's so great about this guy? If no, then what's his role, if Casey doesn't listen to him?
It's not like Nurse gets to call the offense all game while Casey sits back sipping Pina Colada's. Nurse designed the much improved offensive sets this year, and this is done in practice. It's the first year of Casey's tenure where we consistently used screens, and several of them per possession. When we switch to iso ball it's probably Casey asking DD/Lowry to take over the game. Nurse also wouldn't get to decide the lineups all game, and Casey insisted on using some seriously offensively challenged lineups for long stretches of time (e.g. when Hayes is in instead of JV you can't run the same plays). Ross sits in the corner because he is an amazing catch and shoot 3 point shooter, but not very good at doing it off the roll or dribble. I don't really have a problem with that. When we run several screens Ross is eventually left open in the corner and he can hit that shot at a very high rate.

The sets improved throughout the year, because they worked on it and luckily had the pieces.
During pressers Casey would say their play calling is simple with several options, but as the season worn on the Raptors ran a lot of 'random' basketball which includes isos and p&r (via vasquez, lowry, derozan) during late shot clock situations. It didn't work well in the playoffs when they needed buckets!
Continuity is key and their chemistry on offence will get better for next season.
Nick Nurse is a really good coach. He won 3 championships within the D-league and he's also helped our offense tremendously.
I really don't want to see him go. The Raptors are a good place to be in right now, and hes already seen the result of their collaboration. Hopefully it continues onwards.

Chewing the Fat: Does Leaner Equal Greener?
As if overweight individuals needed more to make them feel socially undesirable, the past couple of weeks have seen at least three different online news outlets tackle the subject of human obesity and its possible environmental impacts, citing an increased carbon footprint. Live Science approaches the topic more sensitively than the Sun and BBC.
coloros, via Flickr |
The subject has come up previously, in the New Yorker, who cites New Scientist:
A recent article in New Scientist suggested that the biggest problem arising from the epidemic of obesity is the additional carbon burden that fat people--who tend to eat a lot of meat and travel mostly in cars--place on the environment.
Interestingly, New Scientist's blog also puts forth the theory that obese people actually do the world a favor through carbon sequestration, suggesting a widespread dieting effort might actually increase atmospheric carbon.
So ait a minute...You mean maybe fat can save the world?

02 Wrangler Multi-Function Switch with Fog Lights
The fog light switch is wearing out on mine so I needed a new one (see below post). After searching several dealers, I found a Multi-Function Switch with Fog Lights (aka the turn signal switch aka the headlight switch).
I installed and everything worked great except for the turning signals and hazard lights. They did not work. I reinstalled the old one and everything worked (so I know it is not a fuse problem). I ordered another one from Auto Zone (since finding one at the dealers is a big problem right now). I installed it and the exact same problem. Everything works just fine except the turn signals and hazards. Re-installed the old one everything works. To me, I have isolated the problem to the switches. And either the manufacturer is putting out junk or I'm missing something. I have inquiries into the dealer and Auto Zone to see what's up. But if anybody can shed any light on this subject, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I have $150 worth of useless parts right now... |
Had to take mine in and on the third switch finally got one that worked this was at a dealer I think they are just junk-good luck!:)
So you had the EXACT same problem? (and yes, these switches are definitely junk) |
I said screw it since the only issue I was having was the fogs were flicking on their own. I just pulled the fuse for them and for aboutb $20 in parts from autozone, I hardwired them to a nice toggle. Works great, looks as though it came stock this way, and the best part is I never have to worry about the BS multi-function switch again!
I thought about that... and I'm getting closer and closer to doing it. But it is the wife's Jeep. She is not opposed to it but she prefers to have the multi-function switch. Obviously, lots of Jeep owners are having this problem. I find this to be a joke that Chrysler outsourced to a crappy manufacturer (Chevy does the same thing). I see why they are in trouble... I have such disdain for the dinky-doink things that have went wrong with this Jeep that I will not be buying another Mopar product soon..... I had a 1997 Jeep that was a Nickel & Dimer as well. |
I believe there is a relay on the back side of the switch assembly that you have to remove from the old one and put into the new one. The relay controls the flashers, small black square just pulls out then pushes in.
1.) Relay 2.) Switch http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g3...s/switch-1.jpg |
Jeesh........ I will check that out. Thanks for the info!
I'll feel really STUPID if that's the case, though. |
hah the PT Cruisers are the same way, first time I did one I didnt know either, got so pissed when they wouldnt work. Only to find out it was because I didnt swap the relay
That is right. That relay is the flasher. Found out the hard way also.
Yep, that was the issue (I needed to transfer the relay). Sure enough all is well now.
I should have figured that out on my own. I looked right at it when I pulled it, thought about it for a half second and got busy putting the wiper-switch on and stuff that I didn't give it a second thought. I am kind of disappointed in myself.... but it sounds like others did the same thing so I won't beat myself up too badly. HA HA. Anyhow, thanks to everyone for their help. I truly appreciate it. It is fixed now..... THANKS! |
fog light bypass
Thanks Steven |
Next switch to go bad
1 Attachment(s)
This just in, my Fog lights are doing the same thing. Glad I could get the heads up from all your trials. My big gripe I had this jeep for 7 years. Used the Fog lights twice and now the switch is shot.
The fog lights trouble started on my 2002 Wrangler about 3 years ago when they would come on randomly on hot days. There was obviously a heat induced short somewhere. As the temp. dropped the switch worked again. Then one day...nothing. The fuse is fine. I am not sure if the multi-function switch is bad or not. I would prefer putting on a toggle switch and bypass the steering column all together. Does someone know where I can get instructions and the parts necessary for that? Thanks very much.
just got my jeep and having the same switch problem
I'm a Jeep newbie......
I just got my 2002 Sahara. I am having the same problem with the fog light switch. I was wondering if the non-fog light switch assembly is the same as the fog light assembly minus the pull out for the fog lights. If it is, I'm considering replacing the fog light one for the non-fog light one and wiring a rocker switch in the dash (there is a spot already there to pop a black out and add a switch. Anyone know? |
Switching out
1 Attachment(s)
I've read if all your other lights and signals still work with that faulty fog light switch. People have simply added the Togle and kept using the same Multi Function switch. Since it tends to only be faulty with fog light operation.
Attachment 18587 |
The wiring diagram appears that by splicing the switch wires on the toggle to the existing wire harness inside the column would give you the same functionality as the original switch, maintaining the use of the original fuse. It would only require two pieces of wire,the toggle switch and two splices.
I'm new to this Forum, just joined today. Am a Moderator on another Forum dedicated to Chrysler Minivans, and a member of the Dodge Forum as well.
Came across this site while doing a search pertaining to my fog lights wanting to stay on. Gotta love those fog lights, especially in snow storms and the ability to use them minus the headlights (with their reflection back) being on. Cruised by lots of drivers struggling in those conditions. Yes, the fog light switch started acting up, out of the blue, back in February on a warm day. The switch is really acting up now with the warmer weather. If I leave the left turn signal on, when parked, the fog lights stay off. I have ordered a new switch, not cheap even with a discount, and am now thinking about installation. Any tricks to this other than transferring the relay? Looks like the housing is held together with screws of some sort underneath, I'm guess the torx type, haven't experimented yet. One other problem, of late, is the light coming on in the self dimming rear view mirror for the compass and temperature. It takes its time for some reason and sometimes remains dim. All other lights in the mirror work fine. Other than a blown socket for the right front park/signal lights, a blower resistor, the rear sway bar links and the right front sway bar link, plus some work done under warranty, the Jeep has been trouble free. I'm looking forward to sharing with you guys and was attracted to this Forum because it sticks to the basic Jeep rather than covering all lines. I see Chrysler has some discounts on new Jeep Wranglers here (Nova Scotia, Canada) now (today's newspaper), that's unusual. Cheers and Happy Jeeping. |
I've got the same problem with my fog lights, they only come on when it's hot..unfortunately I live in Needles, CA and it's generally one of the hottest places in the country.
Check the electroni flashers.
Fog light problem
I just bought a 2001 TJ Sahara with fog lights. My lights don't seem to be coming on at all. Could that also be a problem with the multifunction switch? If so, is there a way to test the lights to make sure that's what it is before I buy a new one? Thanks.
Run 12vdc straight to the lites. Just use a length of wire.
Fog Lights Hard Wired to Toggle
I have an 05 wrangler. The highbeam indicator will come on along with the windsheild wipers while driving down the road. I have already replaced the multi function switch. I have been reading about bad switches. Does anyone have any other ideas.
So I replaced my multifunction switch and the lights work, the blinkers and wipers work great. Now, my issue is my radio and AC/blower don't seem to have any power going to them. Any ideas or suggestions?
..sorry, just realized how old this thread was.
Nothing good to offer for the questions above. |
