Momma was taken to the emergency room; when I arrived the nurse said, "Follow me."
You know it can''t be good when the nurse ushers you into a tiny room with two chairs, a small table and a Gideon Bible. She said, "The doctor will be with you in a moment." I picked up the Bible; flipped to the 23rd Psalm. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil ... " I knew I was there, in that valley.
Caretaking had been difficult and often I wanted to quit. There were times I felt that I couldn''t go on, not one more minute. Caretaking a parent is not for sissies.
Now I watch friends take care of their parents and my heart aches for them. Some say it''s like taking care of a child again. It is anything but like taking care of a child. A child learns how to do something new every day; an aging parent forgets how to do something every day. Children grow out of their fears of the dark; a parent grows into them. Caretaking is not for sissies.
After much protestation I joined a caretakers support group. I had thrown the phone number away three times, and then I called and asked to come. Mom insisted that I sleep with a beeper. I couldn''t sleep with a beeper, and I couldn''t tell my momma "no." The group laughed at me and gave me permission not to sleep with a beeper and not to tell my momma anything. I felt like a sissy.
Toni is taking care of three aging parents, her own two and her mother-in-law. At the social security office she waited in line for hours. She finally got to an agent, only to be told she would have to bring her father in because they couldn''t verify that she was his daughter. She explained that he was in a nursing home and comatose. A debate ensued; Toni finally screamed, "Do you think I would go through all of this if I wasn''t his daughter? Don''t you think there are easier ways of committing Medicare fraud than this?" The agent said, "Next."
I watched the movie "Hanging Up" obsessively during my caretaking days. Meg Ryan plays a daughter taking care of an aging and senile Walter Matthau. You''d think it''d be a downer to watch a movie like that, but I kept telling myself that if Meg could do it then I could. I loved when Meg asked, "How can a man who can''t remember where he left his pants remember his daughter''s telephone number?" I wondered that myself.
After dinner on what would be Mom''s last day I asked, "Momma, did we have a good day?" She looked me in the eye; "Yes, we did," she said. That night when she drew her last breathe, I realized that every single moment had been worthwhile.
Cindy, I just want to encourage you; when all is said and done you''ll have no regrets. Cry if you must, laugh when you can.

It's never a good sign when a network declines to make screeners available to the press before interviews with the executive producer. This was the case with Lifetime's "Liz & Dick," the much hyped Lindsay Lohan comeback vehicle which airs Sunday, November 25.
Two days after Larry Thompson's press conference, the network finally allowed reporters to see whether the movie lived up to Thompson's claims that, "Lindsay's performance is wonderful. I think that when you watch the movie people will see that Grant Bowler as Richard Burton just steals your heart. Lindsay Lohan breaks it," and "What [Bowler] brought into the room with Lindsay and they read for us for the first time, the chemistry was so obvious and his testosterone matching her estrogen, this chemistry exploded right there in the room in front of everybody. It was just like fourth of July firecrackers going off. "
Let's just say Thompson is the P.T. Barnum of Made-for-TV movie producers. "Liz & Dick" is certainly memorable, but for all the wrong reasons. Lohan's performance as Taylor makes Jennifer Love Hewitt's take on Audrey Hepburn look like Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln. Her line readings are so flat they wouldn't past muster in a high school play. She gives Taylor the vocal inflections of a Valley girl. A scene where she screams, "I'm bored!" at the top of her lungs seems destined to become an internet meme. Worst of all, she is incapable of crying on-camera, a problem for a film that must have a dozen scenes of her breaking down. In fact, the entire film seems structured around her limitations.
Watch Lohan on Tuesday's Episode of "The Tonight Show":
[iframe http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/watch/The-Tonight-Show-With-Jay-Leno/8687230020288550112/2307265998/Lindsay-Lohan%2C-Part-1/embed 580 476]
The bulk of the dialogue is given to Bowler, who, all things considered, does a decent job as the hard drinking Shakespearean actor Burton. Most of the scenes are about two minutes long, seemingly because Lohan can't handler longer, more in depth scene work. One of the great love stories of the twentieth century is reduced to a superficial series of vignettes of arguing, drinking and sex.
Burton and Taylor bicker at their first meeting on the set of "Cleopatra." Then when they film a sex scene , their stage kiss makes them instantly fall madly in love with each other, and seconds later they are having a torrid affair. At least, that's the way the film presents it. There is no attempt to explain why two married actors cheating on their spouses was considered so scandalous at the time, or how the extensive media coverage of their relationship differed from the carefully controlled public personas that films studios used to create for the stars. If you don't know who Eddie Fisher was, and why Liz's relationship with him was controversial in its own right, you won't gain any insight from this movie. Nor will you learn anything about why — other than a mutual fondness for alcohol — Liz and Dick were so drawn to each other despite the volatility on their relationship.
On the other hand, "Liz & Dick" is an unintentional camp classic. Lohan wears two different fur hats and a turban. There are references to Liz's fat period, but she only looks like she is about five pounds heavier because the production seemingly could not afford a fat suit. The make-up artists make little effort to cover up her freckles or to give her make-up that will realistically age Lohan the 30 years that the movie spans — though the 26 year-old Lohan certainly looks plausibly thirtysomething. Then there is the hilarity of Lohan wearing a spiky wig meant to emulate Taylor's famous 1980s hairdo. She looks like she is in a Halloween costume. Strangest of all are the segments when Taylor and Burton, apparently being filmed for an "Actors Studio" type documentary address the camera directly, at some indeterminate point after their final break-up, though the film's narrative indicates that they were not in contact with each other at that time.
How can a producer promote a film that even he must know is less than great? By putting on a Pollyanna spin that was slowly punctured by relentless questions about the difficulties of working with Lohan. He started off confident: "As a producer I can't think in terms of awards, but I can think in terms of making a great movie, and that's what we've done." Then he essentially copped to stunt-casting Lohan. "The obvious risk that was inherent in having her was worth the potential reward. Because you know if you're going to make a movie about Elizabeth Taylor, you damn well want some great magic and we thought that Lindsay Lohan could bring that drama." After that, he was barraged with questions about what it was like to work with Lohan. He admitted, "I have certainly worked with actresses during productions whose behavior was less problematic then Lindsay… Let's say that producing a movie with Lindsay Lohan is not for the faint of heart. I turned fifty shades of white, actually, during the production" However, he quickly added, "But that happens on most productions. On this particular production we did have a couple of incidents which forced us to readjust production. But overall, my gosh, relative to the performance we got and the movie we were able to make, because of her, the risk was worth the reward. The pain was worth the pleasure."
Thompson admitted that, long before the cameras starting rolling, working with Lohan was difficult. "When we finally decided to hire her, we had serious challenges to deal with, due to her probation and her history. Therefore we had to make a deal where there were pages and pages of what-if clauses… There never was a what if she can't act clause. It was about, What if there is a car accident? What if there is a violation of her probation? Therefore she would be incarcerated. Those what ifs were plenty. But, through insurance, and I will add she might be the most insured actress who ever walked on a sound stage, we tried to insure itself against things that could, and in fact did, happen."
Thompson was referring to Lohan's car accident during filming of which he said, "Lindsay was unable to work that day and it became an insurance day. That means that you have to make that day up, so whatever that cost is, of shooting what you should have shot that day, it becomes your damages and your loss that you make an insurance claim for."
When Thompson was asked whether he would work with Lohan again, he paused for a second then said only, "Sure."
"Liz & Dick" airs Sunday, Nov. 25 at 9/8c on Lifetime.

My girlfriend and I found this place on Yelp and we were very impressed as soon as we entered. Well decorated interior design with great ambience.

Found this accidentally in the back streets of Turin and gave it a go. Modernist Grey cement joint which exceeded my expectations. Just had a Salad and Pizza. Wholly local clientèle doing a roaring trade. Would certainly come back.
Good quality, very nice place. The service is a little too long but it is not very important during holiday. The vin was great and not very expensive.
we had dinner with friends there. restaurant is quiet nice and modern. service well recognized, but the food is not really of high quality. insalatone ok. but tris di calzone and also hamburger were greasy. so there are better places for dinner around.
Last night in Turin and you go to the resturant outside your front door - the one you walked past for the last four days. On the menu is pizzas and the usual Italian options. First item is the "House Special" pizza, buffalo mozzarella, rucula, etc and do not look any further. Both my wife and I agreed it was... More
There is something about this place that I liked that is hard to describe. It had a really nice atmosphere that was subtle.

We had a great meal there. Nice antipasti and a delicious pizza. My wife had a very nice risotto. Possibly one of the best pizzas I've ever had, richly covered with fine ingredients!
Delicious pizza, richly filled.i had the sicomoro and my wife had the diovolo with mushrooms and ham.those were very good and with half liter of whine for 5 euro is the combination perfect.good quality food for a good price.
Really neat inside and a lively crowd around the bar. We enjoyed the outside patio for drinks and dinner, and had great pizza, as well as outstanding/friendly service. You'll love it here!
Thank you so much! : )) More

After leaving the Halibut, I boarded the CGC Eagle. Eagle is the Coast Guard's training vessel that all 3/c cadets go on to learn about seamanship and life on the water. As a 1/c cadet aboard Eagle, I was given the Ensign experience where I had the opportunity to lead a division, obtain qualifications, and work on extra projects that were assigned to me. I never had a moment to spare, and my classmates and I were always diligently working to make sure that by the end of the summer we were successful in all of the jobs we were given. We did have a few days during three different port calls where we could take some time off and relax. We first pulled into Bermuda, where the sand was pink and the sun was always shining. Bermuda is a beautiful island and it was a once in lifetime opportunity to visit. After we left Bermuda we travelled to Saint Pierre, France, a small island territory of France. While there we celebrated Bastille Day, which was amazing to see another country celebrate their independence and to participate in the festivities. Our last stop was Halifax, Nova Scotia where we visited the Halifax Citadel and walked around the city looking at all of the history that it had.
This summer has been amazing and I now have three weeks to relax and spend time with my family before I return to the Academy for my final year before I am commissioned as an officer in the Coast Guard. Time has flown by while I have been at the Academy, and this year I plan to make the most of all of the time that I have left.
More about Brianna.
We exchanged information and told them I would see them as the school year revved up. Since then I have gone over to my their house numerous times and Mr. Taylor is right here at the Academy if I ever need help with anything. The Sponsor Family Program helped me get through 4/c year and I'm sure they will help me get through the rest of my time here at the Academy. This past summer added two sponsor cadets to the family and I can't wait to meet them. I look forward to spending time with them at the Taylor's in the near future.

There are markets all around, so if you want a fresh salad or piece of fruit, they are easily attainable.
There are also food carts everywhere during the day (by evening, these folks want to go home, but some were still out in Times Square in the evening). As you can see, a lot of fruit and veggie cart were set up, so if you wanted to eat an apple in the Big Apple, you can. There were carts and trucks for everything you could think of from burgers to kabobs to bagels and pastries.
We started out our first day in Macy's on 34th street - because I love the movie "Miracle on 34th Street." We found a Starbucks on one of the upper floors. Starbucks was all over NYC, so if that is your favorite place, you will be happy. There are several other coffee houses around as well, so if you don't like Starbucks, you have a choice - after all, it's New York.
There are well known places like the Soup Man - do you remember the "No soup for you" quote from "Seinfeld?" We didn't eat here, but if we had more time, we probably would have tried it....or the corner diner that they use to hangout in. We did end up at this place on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village. This is a street that isn't as touristy as other places in the city. And there are really cool shops that you can get great things like vintage records, cute fashion...and food.
We ended up here at Faicco's. I was in heaven.
We ordered the $10 Chicken Mozzarella cutlet sandwich with pesto to go and grabbed some drinks there too. Then, we headed to Washington Square Park to share our picnic. I wish I had taken a picture of the gigantic sandwich. They put four chicken breasts on my half! (No, I didn't eat it all, my husband ate three for me).
Some of my favorite moments come from just buying random food from vendors. I bought two churros from a woman with a cooler in the subway. They were a deal for $1 considering that up on the street with the carts they were $3 for just one.
(Music in the subway)
I also had to have a pretzel from a cart. It tasted funny....like smoked pork rinds? I couldn't wrap my head around the taste because I kept having to tell myself that it was a pretzel.On our first night, we ended up at an Irish place. The waitress was the only kinda rude person we encountered in the city. I wouldn't recommend going to this place. The portions were small and the food was just okay.
But then, we went out to the street and found a bakery and got dessert!
The best dinner we had was off the beaten trail, but a very famous place. Katz's is known for the "When Harry Met Sally" scene where she proves that women fake...well, you know. And the woman next to them says, "I'll have what she's having."
And this is what I had...Matzo ball soup and knish. YUM! I also had a chocolate egg cream. It was...different. I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think I want another. Or maybe I will have one, but not with this kind of soup?
One of the most memorable food moments was at the Chelsea Market in the Chelsea neighborhood. I had a small hot chocolate and it was like molten chocolate without any milk. I didn't like it at first, but it soon grew on me. It was sort of pricey, but it was made with high quality chocolate and a small one was the perfect amount.

About Skai
My Dog
As I am writing this, my dog Skai is sleeping on his favorite chair, his legs twitching, dreaming his doggy dreams with his head resting on a pillow.
I would have never imagined in my dreams that my lovely dog could bring so much joy and learning into my life.
I love to ask people I meet who have dogs, how they got them. The stories are often touching and sometimes even dramatic, and usually have a happy ending. I very much enjoy hearing them because I know how much dog people love to talk about their dogs. And I am always happy to share the story of Skai.
The year 2001 was a challenging one for me. I went through a divorce, a serious family illness and my veterinary clinic was very busy. I felt a need to get some balance in my life. I decided to get a dog.
One of my friends mentioned that there was a litter of Border Collie puppies at a nearby farm. I did all the research and learned how to test for puppy's personality traits — only to realize in the end that one doesn't choose a dog, and that a dog chooses you.
I sometimes joke that all the canine souls have regular gatherings up in the heavens; deciding who is the best match for whom and what lessons they will teach each of us. This whole thing became more obvious when I decided on a female puppy named Pence. I so wanted her to like me but she obviously had a different plan.
Whenever I approached her she ran away to the corner. At first, I took it quite personally! However I am so grateful for her clearly suggesting she wasn't for me.
Around my third or fourth visit to the farm I brought a bag of fresh raw bones for the puppies to chew on. I sat down on the ground and every puppy got a bone. That is when I saw the most feisty one of the batch sitting in the middle growling at all the other puppies like a little lion. The farm owner pointed to him saying: "You definitely shouldn't take that one. He's going to be aggressive," she warned me with her finger raised in the air. Then something magical happened. That little puppy dropped his precious bone and ran straight to me. The decision was made.
In the meantime, another couple arrived at the farm and guess what – Pence, the puppy who didn't want to have anything to do with me, ran straight for them without any hesitations. Pence's new owners renamed her Peggy and I called my new puppy Skai.
Skai is a living proof that our dreams create our reality, because he is exactly as I imagined. Since the fall of 2001 Peggy's "parents" and I, have become great friends. We sometimes joke that we are family through the dogs. Living through the cold and rainy Vancouver winters, I often imagined the dogs running on a beautiful, sun-drenched beach, playing in the waves. And a few years later it really happened. Peggy and Skai each own half a share of a house in Maui! And I still can't believe that it actually happened.
I wake up every day seeing Skai's head propped on a pillow. He loves pillows and sleeping in, however, he is always ready for a walk, car ride or another adventure. What he loves the most is being with friends. Skai has been a great teacher in so many ways: He approaches life with joy and excitement and lives in the moment. When he runs on the beach, it is as if the beam of his energy touches everyone around: he turns frowns into smiles and darkness into light.
He loves to run on the beach, enjoying his freedom and coming back every time. He was trained by purely positive methods and still is one of the most thoughtful and obedient dogs I have ever met. He is sensitive and in tune with others and shows empathy with animals and people in distress. He loves his family and friends more than his food or material possessions. He simply smiles at the world and the world smiles back at him.
A few years ago, I made my own T-shirt that said: "The best part of my life started with getting my dog." Now years later I would like to add: "and he has been my favorite teacher." Thank you my dear friend.
Read my blog post "Why can Skai Fly?" and see how I took him to Paris, flew him on First Class and did it for free!

Guide: Relocating the ACT Led
@ 2004/11/25First, picking a card. You need to pick one that has desolderable points on the LED pins and that works. Theres no sense in doing this mod if the card doesnt work, unless you are practicing. Some cards make it impossible to desolder the stock LED without totally ruining the card. A good common card is the D-Link DFE-530TX+. I see these everywhere and you can pick one up for a few bucks, and their pins are easy to access

Catherine Zeta-Jones has readmitted herself to hospital for "maintenance" treatment for bipolar II disorder.
The actress, 43, checked into a clinic on Monday according to gossip website TMZ and is expected to complete a 30-day programme of treatment.
Sources quoted by the website said the treatment is "maintenance" for the disorder, about which the Academy Award winner has spoken publicly in the past.
The Welsh-born actress said in an interview last November that she would like to combat the "stigma" surrounding mental illness, having been diagnosed with manic depression, bipolar disorder II, just over two years ago.
She spent five days in a rehabilitation clinic 2011 when her condition worsened as a result of months of worry while her husband Michael Douglas battled Stage Four throat cancer.
"I'm not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops but with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it is completely controllable," Zeta-Jones told US InStyle magazine last year.
"I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it, and that those who don't have it under control will seek help with all that is available to treat it."
She said the experience had helped her to gain appreciation for life and had strengthened her 12-year marriage to Douglas.
"You find out who you really are and who you are married to. You find things inside yourself you never imagined were there," she said.
Zeta-Jones began her career as a stage actress, gained fame on ITV's The Darling Buds of May before moving to Hollywood where she was cast in The Mask of Zorro, Traffic and Entrapment.
She married Douglas, who is 25 years her senior, in 1998 and the couple have two children.
Zeta-Jones was last seen in public two weeks ago when she attended the 40 Anniversary Chaplin Award Gala at Lincoln Center accompanied by Douglas.
Bipolar disorder is an imbalance in the brain's mood regulating system which can cause episodes of hypomania and depression. It can be triggered by factors such as grief and stress and is thought to affect at least 1 percent of the adult population in the UK.

The PETMAN robot was developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from the DoD CBD program. It is used to test the performance of protective clothing designed for hazardous environments. The video shows initial testing in a chemical protection suit and gas mask. PETMAN has sensors embedded in its skin that detect any chemicals leaking through the suit. The skin also maintains a micro-climate inside the clothing by sweating and regulating temperature. Partners in developing PETMAN were MRIGlobal, Measurement Technology Northwest, Smith Carter, CUH2A, and HHI.

It's Valentines Day. For boyfriends throughout Japan, that means Nene, Manaka and Rinko are finally in 3D! And in 7-Eleven employee outfits, if you download some special content from the convenience store's 7-Eleven de DS kiosks.

Interesting bit of off-season cud to chew: The ESPN analyst picks his top 100 players to watch in 2010. Not sure that means he thinks they're the best or the most interesting. Probably it's a combination of the two.
Alabama has the most names in the list, with 7. Throw in Florida's contributions and the top two programs in the SEC have more than 10 percent of the top players.
There will be some quibbling with some of the rankings. And let me start with mine: John Brantley?

Regional vs Local Stability in Investment
4 comments:
We gather on the same point - however, i don't think the EU, or any of it's agencies should invest or finance investments - I think that what the EU should do is insure the stability, and back the investor, so that he knows at all times that his investment is not just throwing money out the window, but a legitimate business opportunity, backed not by a fleeting government of one MS but but by the EU.
ReplyDeleteRepliesBut how can it ensure stability without actually removing authority from the MS's? Insuring and backing the investor is something more achievable though. This can be done much more easily (and more cheaply) than anything else. That would be a great idea actually if they employ it! Yet both the MS and the EU should support such schema
Well, what i had in mind is a EU sanctioned guarantee that for the agreed timeline conditions will not change, irrelevant to changes on the MS political or economic scene - a sort of temporal clean bill of health I guess - I will admit i have to give this more thought!

Inspiration for the Week
But in the main, I feel like a brown bag of miscellany propped against a wall. Against a wall in company with other bags, white, red and yellow. Pour out the contents, and there is discovered a jumble of small things priceless and worthless. A first-water diamond, an empty spool, bits of broken glass, lengths of string, a key to a door long since crumbled away, a rusty knife-blade, old shoes saved for a road that never was and never will be, a nail bent under the weight of things too heavy for any nail, a dried flower or two still a little fragrant. In your hand is the brown bag. On the ground before you is the jumble it held — so much like the jumble in the bags, could they be emptied, that all might be dumped in a single heap and the bags refilled without altering the content of any greatly. A bit of colored glass more or less would not matter. Perhaps that is how the Great Stuffer of Bags filled them in the first place — who knows?"

Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day.
Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought.
And Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy.
But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."

These can include water from worn out clean water lines; clean water from restroom tank or bowl; sinks; and bottled water. Even though the source might be from a clean source, type 1 water can very quickly degrade into type 2 or 3 depending upon such factors as time, temperature, and contact with contaminants.
Type 2 is water with some amount of toxins that could possibly cause discomfort or health problem if ingested. Recently known as grey water, this descriptor has since been removed to avoid confusion. Sources for type 2 water may include things like washing machine overflow; toilet overflow with some urine, but no fecal material; dishwasher overflow. type 2 water can rapidly degrade into type 3 depending upon such factors as time, temperature, and contact with impurities.
Type 3 water is very unsanitary, and could trigger serious illness or death if taken in. Previously known as black water, this descriptor has since been eliminated to stay clear of confusion.

Ceiling Repair in Ball, LA
Catstrong Restoration utilizes several methods to fix damaged sheet rock. The most suitable option is tied to the intensity of the damage ( modest or large area) and place (wall or ceiling ).
Repair Option 1: Self-Adhesive Mesh Drywall Patch
Drywall patches are generally offered at home renovation stores that consist of a thin metal mesh with a sticky backing. The metal mesh furnishes support for the drywall drywall mud. The patch is stuck over the hole, spackle, sand and paint. Self-adhesive metal patches function most ideal on walls and modest notches, but usually droop when used on ceilings. Catstrong restoration therefore picked not to make use of a metal repair patch.
Repair Option 2: Cut Out and Replace with New Drywall
The most effective way to fix the roughly 6 ″ by 6 ″ area of damaged drywall ceiling is to cut out the area and replace it with a new portion of drywall by mounting a wood support frame, tape the joints, apply joint compound, sand and paint. Among the most difficult part was working on the extension ladder to reach the high ceiling.
Repair Option 3: Install a Drywall Access Panel
The problem with Options 1 and 2 are if the leak were to happen once again, you'll be redoing the ceiling repairs. Depending on the source of the leak, it may be essential to cut an opening in the ceiling to deal with the plumbing. CatStrong Restoration has utilized bauco drywall access panels. The bauco access panel solves both the repair work and plumbing accessibility problems.

Day 72 - Avignon of Popes and Palaces
... rental about 3:00 for a light snack after three hours of touring. We then walked the grounds and hillside forest area next to the property which provided a great view of the surrounding areas. We gathered some kindling for a fire in the fireplace of our rental. The old stone cottage is pretty cool in the evening and a fire in the living room feels great.
Tonight for dinner we had a little North Atlantic salmon with potatoes and vegetables. Quick and easy. Great first day in ...
Day 71 - Provence Provincial
... was a travel day, it also became a laundry day. It took a couple of hours to get caught up but we succeeded. Next it was off to Avignon supermarket for groceries for the week. We returned about 5:00 and settled in for the night. We lit a fire in the fireplace as the temperature in the old stone cottage was a bit cool. The fire, some jazz and some C�te de Rhine wine made for a lovely evening.

A 20 minute film made of the recovery and preparation of the boat explains how, over a period of three years, the barge was inspected under water, its parts and contents labelled and recorded, the boat cut into pieces and raised from the Rhône, and the wood treated in several places across Europe that specialise in the preservation of wood.

We are about to go and get this computer. Well ~ not me, but my daughter. She came home from college yesterday and said this is what she is going to get. Everyone has them at college and they are awesome for note taking, and you can also tape the instructor on what he is saying? Something like that. So ~ I was looking at them at the Apple site and the 13" is almost $1200 and the 17" is almost $2500! Goodness ~ Does the Apple store provide financing? I am about to go and check on that! Thoughts? Good choice? She has about 4 years left including graduate school...
It's an investment. I bought my wife a new MacBook Pro last month and installed Win7 for those programs where they don't have OSX support. I believe that they do. They are awesome, but I am biased as I am an apple fanboy. Sent from my iPad using iPF
Your daughter should be the one buying it, not you, because Apple offers dicounts for college students. You have to access the website from a college internet though, as the option doesn't appear otherwise. Apple smartness again
Just pretend you want to buy a Macbook, after choosing the screensize, it asks you to configure the MBP and on the right sight is a box labeled Summary. Inside that box is a blue link: 6 or 12 month financing options. There may be different financing options available though. You might want to head to your local AppleStore to find out about them

Hey, bro'
Seems to me, the piece to play with is the 2.75" piece. .75" is plywood and 2" is foam ... I would stick with your usual way of sizing everything, otherwise you're gonna SEE a difference in this piece. I'd make the 2.75" piece 2.25" ... I think that'll snug it up same as your other cushions. Alan 54 Chevy Pickup |
I think I know what you're getting at. Are you taking the selvage into account? Once I sew the 2.75" boxing to the faces, it will be 2.25" which is similar to what I did with the other cushions. All the other pieces use 4" foam, and I never noticed until now that this piece is different because of it's location. I cut the boxing to 4", sew it on and fight the foam into the cover. Once it's in, it looks great. Way better than a guy like me should be able to pull off! I'm more worried about fitting the face around that plywood. The original face used to sag under the plywood when the bed was up, I'd like mine to be snug. I've been trying to salvage the zippers off of the old cushions.. It's just not worth it, some don't even work at all anymore. So I'm off to the upholstery shop to get some zipper, but I'm thinking of trying velcro instead... Any thoughts?
When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt |
2.25 sounds a bit tight to me ... but if that matches the kind of snugness that you've done on the other pieces, go for it.
Velcro should work okay ... I think that's your call, too. I think the sagging around the plywood was due to age ... and due to people sitting a lot - naturally, the foam goes down and the vinyl sags whenever someone sits on it. Alan 54 Chevy Pickup |
Stinkin_V8, Velcro is probably your best choice for fasteners. Easy to install and low maintenance. Also makes things much simpler if you ever want to take the covers off to clean them.
As for the sizing of that last cushion, I would add 1/2" to the dimensions and cut the piece a little bigger, as you said, plywood will not compress the way the foam does. Also, you need to consider that if the fabric or vinyl you're using is too tight against the plywood you will be adding stress to it and run the risk of it tearing or the stitching coming loose. Just my .02 Good Luck :p |
That's a good point and, as usual, 4Jaw's info is most helpful!
I would sand and ROUND off all corners and edges of the plywood - especially the corners. Alan 54 Chevy Pickup |
Another suggestion if you're really concerned about this cushion looking different than the others, is to cut it the way you did the others but add a reinforcing pad at the corners where the fabric/vinyl will be contacting the plywood. A small circle of vinyl sewn into the inside corner should do the trick.
Most campers already have the corners of any plywood bed platforms rounded, but if your camper is an older model this may not have been standard at the time it was manufactured. Have fun, some pics when it's done would be nice. |
Yep, the corners are already rounded. The sag is underneath the plywood (it folds up as the top of the bunkbed and down as the back of the couch). I think I'll give it a shot of spray glue to keep it from sagging, although it isn't a big deal unless you're on the bottom bunk looking up and really bored.
The person at the fabric store talked me into zippers, they were better quality than the ones I was taking off, less sewing than velcro, half the price, and better holding than velcro. Thanks for the input, folks. And nice to see you aboard, Chick. Chuck's helped me on a few topics, and now you. If this keeps up, you'll have to adopt me!
When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt |
No bout aDout it ... Chuck is a BIG help 'round here! I've only been a member here for 5 months and I can't count the number of times Chuck has helped me out.
Thanks, Chuck. I would definitely glue that bottom panel, bro' ... and to add a nice touch, I'd glue foam under it, too. Alan 54 Chevy Pickup |
Yeah, I've always found the zippers that are used from the factory for things like camper cushions and such are pretty cheesy. If you've found a heavy duty one that's easier to install than Velcro, go for it! And how about just flipping the plywood over so that the warped side faces up, then whoever uses it next will have to warp it back the other way. A good shot of spray glue probably wouldn't hurt either.
And thanks for the welcome guys, makes me feel all gooshy inside:skeptic: |
I'm confused! (not about the thread, sounds like great advise) I haven't been a member long either, but I've read numorous threads where 4 Jaw Chuck, Haloweenking, and Willy's have been GREAT help. But on this thread, it says 4 Jaw "CHICK"! Alan, you keep saying Chuck, am I missing something?
4 Jaw Chick, any relation to Chuck? Since I'm on here a lot, I figure I should get to know you guys/gals! |
Hi gt2, I'm 4 Jaw Chick. (You can call me Chickie for short), I'm also a junior Greasewhore (Kim aka Chevyluvnpuppy) is the Head Greasewhore. :laugh:
Is there any relation between myself and 4 Jaw Chuck? In a word -- YES! I'm the little woman (so to speak) and he only just let me out of the basement about a month ago. He still likes to put the chains on occassionally but it sure is nice to see the light of day. I don't have the knowledge that Chuck does, but I have a my areas and I try to help out when I can. Nice ta meet ya! |
My mistake, man. The Li'l Lady's advice was so cool, I thought it were Chuck his self! It figures that Chuck's Ol' Lady would be so hip.
Alan 54 Chevy Pickup |
Thanks Horvath, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know my advice is helpful!:laugh:
Like I said, I don't have Chuck encyclopedic knowledge (the man is a machine, it's kinda scary sometimes ) but I do have my areas and I try to help out when I can. Chickie. |

Daisies - Day's eye
Daisy, also referred to as Bellisperennis, signify the floral arrangement of one's 5th wedding anniversary. Daisies open up in the day and close up at night, which is why they are also known as "Day's eye". Radiant daisies exemplify cheerfulness, love, purity and innocence, because of which they are carried by brides and bridesmaids.
A Daisy, with its white petals and yellow centre, reveals its symbolic messages with these two colours. Yellow represents vitality, radiance, and creativity. White stands for purity, innocence and healing.

July 12th, 2011
I was married for 7 years. The relationship got very emotionally abusive and she is a pathological liar....lies about EVERYTHING!!!
We have 2 great kids somehow and it really depresses me that the family is broken up because of all this.
I can't move on....once I broke it off with her I thought I would be happy. I guess deep down I thought it would shock her into changing her ways...it isn't that I didn't love her, it is that she was killing me. The deception and name calling was too much.
Even after all that, I just can't feel that connection with anyone. I can't even have good sex with anyone. Sometimes I think if I just had a good sex buddy I could move past her...but since we broke up my libido is shot. I used to want sex all the time-with her. I can't seem to even want someone else sexually.
To make matters worse...she has moved on and is sleeping around town. She is self destructing her life...but still has been able to move on.
I don't know what it wrong with me. Why can't I be indifferent toward her and just forget she exists? Why can't I get over her? She was no good for me and I know that...so why can't I?

"you come to love not by finding the perfect person but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly." Even though she is a pathological liar you still love her.. Finding someone special who you can really connect with isn't easy. But there's always someone out there for you so don't give up yet. You just need to cutt yourself some slack. You just came out of a really bad relationship which caused a lot of damage. You need to time to heal. And when you're ready to let go of being miserable you will. Just think it over, all the horrible things she did to you. Answer these questions for yourself, do you think that you could be happy with her? Think of your kids, and what consequences this relationship can cause. Love is supposed to make you feel good about yourself, did you feel that where you were with her? It takes time but you will get over it, trust me.

The union of junk scientists, on the prowl for government handouts to pay for their computer games, and eager politicians sniffing an enormous new source of tax revenue was a match made in a dark alley.

Miss Lucy Girl Is New In Town
Hello Everyone!!
Lucy and I have just joined the community!! We are especially excited to meet and mingle (virtually of course) with all other maltese and maltese lovers alike! Lucy is a 1 year and a few months old maltese mix I was gifted her exactly one year ago today. I cannot even image my life without her now, and dont know how I survived so long without her in it!! She is in need of a desperate hair cut right about now, but the past few times I have gotten her groomed....the result has been a nightmare! The groomers I have tried cut her hair way to short and make her look like anything but a maltese. I am looking for some guidance towards some traditional, or rather cute and functional, maltese specific hair cuts! Any suggestions welcomed, pictures would be fantastic as well!! : The Rough Life of Miss Lucy Girl..... |

Welcome! You will find a puppy cut thread in the Grooming forum. You could browse through that and take reference pics to your groomer?

Welcome to SM!!! Your Lucy is adorable! She doesn't look like a mix to me. She seems to be all Maltese from your pictures. I have my two in a "pseudo puppy cut" but I keep thier ears and tail long as I think it adds to their Maltese look but is easier to handle. You can see a picture of them below.

Hi, Lucy is adorable!! This is a great place with so much info. If you use the search bar above you will find lots of grooming cuts that people have done on their fluffs or have had done. My favorite cut on a Maltese is a Town and Country cut. Shorter body with long tail, legs and top of head for a topknot. Use the search bar above to look it up. Its the best, IMO anyway. I am sure no matter what you do to Lucy she will look great. Hope you stick around and we get to know you and Lucy.

Firefly is coming back!
Yeah, in reruns.
I finally got around to watching this a month ago. I did not see the appeal. |
Bold prediction: the new product will disappoint the fanbase in some way.
Edit: d'oh. Well, I guess it still applies. |
Yes, reruns. But if the ratings for the reruns are high enough, it'll be one more reason to consider bringing it back. Also, I think it'll be kinda interesting to hear Michio Kaku's take on the physics of the show.
Full Disclosure: I work for Discovery Communications, which owns the Science Channel. I have no inside information on this whatsoever, and know nothing other than what is in that article I linked to. |
This is a total non-story. Syfy already aired Firefly in reruns. For a good chunk of time. This is just stupid link bait.
Full Disclosure: I thought olePigeon started this thread.
As much as I'd love to see additional episodes, it'd be very hard for the cast to get back together. They've all moved on to do other things.
I wouldn't mind seeing the occasional made for TV movie special. |
All the browncoats own the DVDs already, but this is a nice way to get more to see it. I'm with Olepidgeon, tv movies would be good.
I know I've been guilty of a few annoying thread titles in my past, but this thread title is seriously annoying.
Firefly is not coming back. |
I used profanity when I read that it was only the reruns. Talk about misleading thread titles...
@$$hole! /kevinkline |
Not coming back eleventybillion
This is kind of like yelling "fire" in a movie theater, no? |
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed that it's only reruns too, but still... Full series, original ordering, some new content. The more people watch it the better for everyone.
I didn't get around to watching Firefly for the first time until a few months. And it really is tragic that it was ended so abruptly and seemingly without a real reason.
As far as first seasons go, Firefly had a special magic and I imagine Season 2 would have been even better. |
[On a side note, we've got a Samsung Blu-Ray player and the original series DVDs look horrible on that thing. It does OK with Blu-Ray and Netflix, but old DVDs look like crap. And some of the older Disney titles won't even play on it at all.] |
Don't get me wrong, I love ST:TNG, but the first two seasons were pretty horrible... |
Mental blocks can be good things. I'm just so impressed with Firefly! Sure, it will get old once I've watched all of the episodes (I'm savoring them). But it seems such a waste that the corporate types at Fox couldn't get their thumbs out on this. Morons. Alas, it's not JUST them, since it was never picked up by anyone else for new episodes. |
Lots of funny things going on out there now... 110000 fans on facebook and counting. Here's a video:
YouTube - Ignore Stephen Baldwin - Restore Joss Whedon |
And so is Blakes 7, yeah right. Uh. I'll believe it when I see it. Actually, Blakes 7 or Firefly would make a very good Showtime or HBO series. Anything post BSG has to be better than anything seen before. A series that would be around 12 - 15 episodes per season would be ideal to adequately write and produce.
End game: sounds like they're building a crowdsourcing production company.
Help Nathan Buy Firefly � The Big Damn Plan Also, anyone else get the Browncoats: Redemption fan movie? Watched it last night. Interesting, but a bit like diet cake. Unsatisfying, but yet... still... cake. |
I love the Firefly allusions in Castle, if you're not watching, you should be. Some episodes are bland, but for example the last two were stellar!

@ SNeacail-
I know I need to talk about how I feel with her, but the issue is that
1) I'm not even sure seeking someone for affection while she is absent is something I want. I don't feel it would be fair to the other person, because I think that I would be sitting there thinking. " I wish she was W." But then, I could be wrong. I might fall madly in love with someone else. I have no idea because I have no basis of experience, I've never dated outside my marriage.
I honestly don't know what I want in this department, so bringing up a topic I'm still confused on seems like high risk, low benefit.
2) when I agreed to walk this road 2 years ago, I promised that I wouldn't "use what she is doing as reason to sleep with someone else." The situation she is in is drastically different from the original almost triad we were in, but the fact I promised has not. She just had a fight with my metamour over him contemplating the same, dating others while she is away, and it didn't go over well. He made no such promise to her, and she still reacted poorly.
*sigh* This shit is awful complicated. I shoulda been a swinger instead
This multiple love thing is a hell of a lot of work.
The more you judge, the less you love
The only common thread in all my failed relationships, is ME.

Note: the following screen captures were taken by the head editor and are not to be reposted elsewhere without his permission. Please consult us at our official email address, available off to the side, before reposting these.
The title of the new season is カードファイト!!ヴァンガードリンクジョーカー編 in English, Cardfight!! Vanguard Link Joker. Much like the Asia Circuit before it, the Japanese title uses "Hen" to describe it as a chapter in the series. Link Joker is currently being symbolized by two overlapping red rings, but what the title actually refers to is unknown.
So far the third season is set to follow the manga closely, with Sendou Aichi transferring back into Miyaji Academy for high school, and with Kourin joining his class. Kourin's surname has been confirmed both in writing and by her voice actor Mimori Suzuko as sharing the Tatsunagi surname with her manga incarnation. Aichi and his younger sister Emi will be attending school together, with Emi now in middle school.
Shortly after the broadcast began, a surprise airing of the third season's new opening theme, "Vanguard Fight" which was performed by the Japanese rock band PSYCHIC LOVER, impressed many viewers.
The opening confirms the return of Misaki, Emi's friend Mai, the Sub-Manager, Doctor O and MC Miya, and the introduction of several new characters; retroactively it has been revealed that Misaki's first season outfit is in fact a Miyaji Academy high school uniform. Furthermore, Misaki and Aichi have both cut their hair, as in the manga.
Ultra-Rare members Suiko and Rekka, as well as their close associate Tatsunagi Takuto, will be returning for the third season along with Kourin. Note that Takuto no longer has his Ezel-like forehead marker, possibly in relation to the Circuit finale. Furthermore, the new opening provides our first look into Miyaji Academy's inner grounds, as well as a group of new characters looking over the casts' photographs, speculated to be antagonists.
Suzugamori Ren and Narumi Asaka are also confirmed to be returning, in a setup that has been noted by viewers to resemble a couple but leaves open whether or not their usual teammate Shinjou Tetsu will be joining them for the season. It was left open whether or not they will be attending any of the schools featured in the season, or if they are still enrolled at all.
Unlike the majority of the cast, Katsuragi Kamui will be attending Hitsue Middle School instead of Miyaji, alongside his friends Reiji and Eiji. Miwa Taishi, Morikawa Katsumi, Yuuta Izaki and Kai Toshiki meanwhile, are attending Hitsue High, further diverging Kai and Aichi's paths.
Team SIT Genius members Christopher Lo, Fajr Ali and Lee Hsien Loong are all shown in the new opening sequence as making appearances in Card Capital. Each member is now sporting new outfits, with Chris' being noticeably similar to the navy blue design originally previewed in ride 69, which had been changed to green by the time of the ride 70. How and why the Singapore natives are coming to Japan is currently unclear.
The new opening sequence also leaked alternate artwork for the Knight of Elegant Skills, Gareth and other Gold Paladin cards, presumably from Trial Deck 7: Liberator of the Sanctuary. Meanwhile, Kamui was shown using a new unit presumed to be of Nova Grappler, all but confirming the clan receiving additional support in the tenth booster set, Triumphant Return of the King of Knights.
Kourin was also shown with a new unit, as was the new character Naoki. Kourin's unit is currently thought to be either an Angel Feather or a Royal Paladin, based on her established clans and the events of the second season.
Aichi and Misaki's shorter hair, and their new classmate Kourin.
Two new characters, Ishida Naoki and Komoi Shingo, will be joining Aichi's class at Miyaji. Based on the opening sequence, Naoki is a Narukami cardfighter, while Shingo's clan is unknown.
Among many other characters, Souryuu Leon will be returning in the third season, although in what capacity was not described.
In addition to the new opening, Cardfight's ninth or tenth ending theme (depending on whether or not the current ending is swapped out for the final Circuit episodes) will be performed by Ultra-Rare members Mimori Suzuko, Nanjou Yoshino and Terakawa Aimi. While originally their status as the idol group only extended to the anime and one CD, the group itself seems to have undergone a defictionalization of sorts as it is now responsible for ED09. This may be a response to the poor general reception of Asia Circuit's ending themes, as up until "Fighting Growing Diary" the endings were unpopular compared to those of the first season. Ultra-Rare's production thus provides a more in-house feel to the viewers.
According to the current schedule, the Asia Circuit will end at ride 105 on January 6th, 2013, with the third season picking up on January 13th, just one week later. This is similar to the transition between the first season and the Asia Circuit from the previous year.
(Editor's Note January 2nd, 2013 - As there was no episode preview following 104 today but instead a plug for the third season on the TV Tokyo broadcast, and 104 was built as the end of the Circuit, there seems to be a change-up regarding the 105.)
With regards to trial decks 8 and 9, Satou Takuya, voice actor for Kai Toshiki, made a surprise appearance holding the first printed cover card for TD09. The new card is Eraser, Vowing Sword Dragon and its ability is the first on-ride limit break skill introduced. At Limit Break 4, when you ride a Narukami unit over Eraser, you can retire one of the opponent's frontrow rearguards and give +10000 power to the vanguard for that turn. With the intention being to ride another unit late in the game, the example given was placing Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion over Sword Dragon. This new type of limit break is being referred to as a "Break Ride."
Several promo cards were featured in the announcement, including a reprint of the anime artwork Blaster Blade, which will be included in BT10. In addition to this however, Dragonic Overlord will receive his own anime artwork with BT11, and Blaster Dark will get the same treatment. Blaster Dark's new print will be included in a Shadow Paladin trial deck, making this the first formal announcement of TD10.
Along with this came the announcement of Extra Booster 06: Diva of the Fine Clothes, an expansion on Extra Booster 02: Banquet of Divas which will further upgrade the Bermuda Triangle clan. The featured artworks include a character speculated to be either a crossride for Top Idol, Pacifica or an alternate artwork for her.
Additionally, Cardfight!! will soon be crossing over with one of Bushiroad's other properties, Weiss Schwarz. Suzugamori Ren will be appearing as a card for the game, using the artwork he debuted with in BT04.
More information on the Nintendo 3DS game, Cardfight!! Vanguard: Ride to Victory was given, previewing the protagonist select screens and 3D cutins used during cardfights.
Finally, Bushiroad CEO Takaaki Kidani made an appearance to wrap things up. The "one more thing" of the broadcast however, was that MiniVan, a manga series about Cardfight by the artist Quily (also known for her Midnight Bunny promotional artwork) that is run in KeroKero Ace alongside the original manga and republished in the final volumes, is being adapted as a new anime set to debut in 2013.
Mr. Kidani mentioned his anticipation for the release of Blue Storm Supremacy Dragon, Glory Maelstrom, the Aqua Force crossride whose skills were leaked to the public earlier this morning. Mr. Kidani, who is a skilled Aqua Force cardfighter himself and used the deck in a side event at the North American National Championship, has apparently already preordered several boxes.
At its peak the broadcast attracted more than 18,000 viewers and 16,000 comments.

July 6, 2011
Via: Time:
In a study involving data on more than 1,800 children — fewer than 300 of whom had an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) — and their mothers, the scientists found that women who were prescribed drugs to treat depression in the year before giving birth were twice as likely to have children with an ASD, compared with women who did not take antidepressants. The risk was even greater for women who were prescribed the drugs in the first trimester: their children were nearly four times more likely to develop autism or a related disorder.
The study focused on one type of antidepressant, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a class of drug that includes fluoxetine (Prozac), paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft). These antidepressants work by increasing available levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin surrounding nerve cells in the brain, which helps boost mood.

Texas Hold'em Sit and Go (Sit 'n' Go) Poker Rules - PokerStrategy.com
A sit and go tournament is a poker game between usually 6 to 10 players which takes between 20 and 60 minutes. They pay a fixed buy-in and get the same amount of poker chips. Whoever loses his chips is out of the tournament. The last 3 or 2 players at the table win the prize money which is made of the buy-ins of all players.
Almost every poker variant can be played as tournament. In the next paragraphs we introduce you to the most popular game: Texas Hold'em poker.
How does Texas Hold'em Poker work?
Texas Hold'em Poker is played with a deck of 52 cards. Every player gets two cards, hidden from the other players. In four betting rounds, the players bet chips on their cards – or fold their cards and wait for the next game. Here you find an overview of the best online poker sites to play texas hold'em.
Step 1: Two players post a blind bet
One player is always marked as the "dealer". The two players next to him are forced to put some poker chips, called the "blinds":
- Small blind: paid by the player directly next to the "dealer"
- Big blind: twice as high, paid by the player next to the small blind
Because every new round the role of the "dealer" moves to the next player, everybody has to pay the blinds equally. Special to a tournament is, that the blinds increase over time.
Step 2: Cards are dealt and first betting round starts
Every player gets dealt 2 cards face down. Now the first betting round starts with the player to the left of the Big Blind and goes on to the left. Here are the possible actions:
- Fold: You throw your cards away. If everyone gives up, the last player with cards wins the game immediately.
- Bet: If nobody has bet before you, you can put any amount of your chips in the pot. If your opponents want to continue in the game, they must at least match your bet. Betting all your chips is called going all-in. You will automatically be in the hand until the showdown and cannot be forced to fold.
- Call: If someone before you has bet, a call means to match this bet.
- Raise: A raise puts additional chips to a bet before you. Your opponents need to pay extra or to fold.
- Check: If no one has bet before you, then you can check. This means that you don't place any bets and let the next player act.
The action goes around the table clockwise. When all the bets are matched and there is more than one player left in the game, the bets are collected in the middle of the table – this is called the pot.
Step 3: Flop and second betting round
Three cards are dealt open on the table. They are called the flop. Everybody can use them to build his poker hand, that's why they are also called community cards. Now the 2. betting round takes place, which works the same as the first betting round, except that now the player on the left of the dealer starts the action.
Step 4: Turn and third betting round
Another community cards is dealt, the turn, and the 3. betting round takes place.
Step 5: River and last betting round
The fifth and final community card is dealt, the river, and the last betting round takes place.
Step 6: Showdown
At the showdown all the players who are still in the game reveal their cards to find out who has the best poker hand and will win the pot.
How to build a poker hand
A poker hand always consists of exactly five cards. You construct your hand from your two hidden cards which were dealt to you and the community cards. You won't always need both of your hole cards to form your poker hand, though. You can use four of the community cards, or even all five.
There is a number of different combinations that can form a hand in poker. All the possible hands are divided in certain ranks. The player with the highest ranked poker hand wins the pot at the showdown.
The following list explains the different ranks of poker hands from weakest to strongest.
Poker Hand | Cards | Description |
High card | If you don't even have a pair, your highest ranked card counts. | |
Pair | Two cards of the same rank. The other three cards are called kickers. If two players have the same pair, then the one with the highest kicker wins. | |
Two-pair | Two pairs. | |
Three-of-a-kind | Three cards of the same rank. | |
Straight | Five consecutive cards. | |
Flush | Five cards of the same suit. | |
Full House | A combination of a three-of-a-kind and a pair. | |
Four-of-a-kind | Four cards of the same rank. | |
Straight Flush | Five consecutive cards of the same suit. | |
Royal Flush | Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten all of the same suit, e.g. spades. |
Next steps
Now you know the rules of Texas Hold'em Poker and how a Sit and Go tournament works.

On a small excursion to Greece.Rhodes to be exact!

We had a short time to unpack and rest before we joined our group (and MANY other groups) for a buffet dinner. Unlike the meals in Turkey I found ...
Gyros and Jamming
