"Write your first draft with your heart. Re-write with your head." --From the movie Finding ForresterAre you able to do this? Or are you one of those people who revise as you write, hating to move on to the next chapter until you feel the one you're working on is perfect? What works for you and why?

I did revise as I went through my first draft. Since then, I've gone through LOTS of revisions. I spend a lot of time on each chapter as I revise. Since I never wrote a book before, the revising is teaching myself how to write. Hopefully I've learned enough so that my second book won't need so many revisions.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Nat. I revise as I go. I just can't help it. I'm not one of these people who can just write and not pay any attention to spelling mistakes etc. along the way. Usually, I reread what I wrote the day before before moving forward. But I think this quote is true. I always write with my heart and when I revise, it's more mechanical in nature. Not sure if this makes sense or not. But thanks for joining in the conversation today.

I'm creating a website where the background basically uses a video. It's all fine except when I change the size of my browser window there are black borders either at the top or the bottom.
Any way around this? Maybe make the black background white to match the white in the video?
[MOD EDIT – Link removed at OP's request]
Set the width and height of the video to 100% in html.
Then in css, set the height only to 100%.
just got rid of the width in css and it made no difference
#backgroundvideo { height: 100%; position: fixed; left: 0; top: 0; bottom:0; right:0; margin: 0; padding:0; width: 100%; z-index: -999; }
this plugin could help you http://dfcb.github.io/BigVideo.js/
if you have a look at their code can get an idea of how its done. they basically check to see if width > height then depending on aspect radio of the window and aspect radio of the video they apply a width and height and then center the video with some negative margins. all this to have your video displaying right and not streched
Do this:
.container{ position: fixed; height: 100%; width: 100%; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: -1; }
I'm actually using a theme and uploaded the video through an admin control pannel. I found the code though:
< ?php // Play Youtube and Other Video files if ($videofile) { ?>
< ?php } ?>
the css to that is:
backgroundvideo {
height: 100%; position: fixed; left: 0; top: 0; bottom:0; right:0; margin: 0; padding:0; width: 100%; z-index: -999;
hi can i please get this thread deleted or the url i posted in the first post removed?

douggren50 - Unregistered May 28, 2010 8:33 PM So faqr this season with four teams to supply Cosworth has done well and as Williams has proved the engine is competitive in terms of performance and durability. As the team has been out of F1 for 3 years they are able to carry out more performance updates and if these work then they should prove even more competitive. I'm sure that Renault and Ferrari would like the extra supply but I dont believe that they are able to go as far as Cosworth. I hope that Cosworth do get the fifth supply deal as they were badly let down by USF1. Eventually Cosworth will become the engine to beat in F1 as they were before. 5 agree 4 disagree
JACKBEE May 29, 2010 8:44 AM Last Edited 355 days ago As Mark Gallagher said "They (the teams) have done an outstanding job given the lack of pre season testing" There was talk that the Cosworth would, lack power, overheat and be unreliable, this just hasn't been the case. No amount of dyno-room simulated testing can match having the thing bolted in a chassis and racing around a track, and that is the element that is missing now. For me, 8 out of 10 so far, good work.

When fishing boats return with catches of increasingly less-valuable fish, the commonly held notion is that the more valuable species have been fished out. This, however, wasn't true in two-thirds of the world's large marine ecosystems selected for study by University of Washington researchers.
Instead, the composition of what was landed changed because fishermen chose to target additional kinds of fish. Landings of the more valuable fish remained the same, or even increased, but that may not be sustainable if managers can't come up with effective strategies, says Timothy Essington, UW assistant professor of aquatic and fishery sciences. Results of the National Science Foundation-funded project appear this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"We shouldn't remain preoccupied with the model of fishing down the food web that assumes the largest, most valuable fish have disappeared," Essington says. "That ignores both what's happening in the majority of cases as well as the need to manage conflicting demands on ecosystems. These multiple impacts may be sustainable during the initial phases of fisheries development but can ultimately lead to collapse of the higher-value stocks if fisheries develop unchecked and without considering these interactions.
"Navigating these conflicts is moving to the forefront of contemporary marine fisheries management and conservation." Fishing down the food web emerged as a concern in the late 1990s when Daniel Pauly of the University of British Columbia published findings that global landings of fish were shifting from species higher in the food chain, such as halibut and tuna, to those lower in the food chain, such as herring and anchovies.
Pauly, who reviewed the paper for the authors before it was submitted to editors of the Proceedings of the National Academy, developed the method to compare food-web -- or trophic -- levels of what is landed. The approach considers only what is brought to shore and does not measure how many fish of various species are actually available.
Using Pauly's method, Essington and UW graduate students Anne Beaudreau and John Wiedenmann, both co-authors on the paper, looked at data between 1950 and 2001. They found the trophic level was shifting downward for landings in 30 of the 48 large marine ecosystems in the world for which they could obtain reliable information. In a little more than two-thirds of those cases -- 21 of the 30 ecosystems -- the composition of the catch changed to include fish from lower trophic levels, yet the amount of fish from the higher trophic levels remained the same or increased.
Because the research considered only landings, the scientists can't say if the stocks are plentiful or if the amounts were high for some other reason, such as an increase in the number of boats fishing the area.
In either case, Essington says, "We can't ignore the policy implications of this common mechanism of sequentially adding species to what is being fished."
In the other nine of the 30 ecosystems the researchers found that high-trophic-level fish were, indeed, disappearing and forcing fishermen to turn to fish lower on the food web. The most spectacular example is the ecosystem in the North Atlantic where fishery collapses are common.

Jeremy Mann breaks his work up into three categories on his site: "Traditional work", "Personal Work", and "Compositions". The vast quantity of paintings found in these categories didn't make it as hard to find a representative image as did the vast quality. It's safe to say Mr. Mann is a fantastically talented artist.
Archive for May, 2009
Jeremy Mann
Friday, May 29th, 2009Yvette Coppersmith
Thursday, May 28th, 2009Yvette Coppersmith is primarily a portrait artist, which she reveals to be an incredibly wide-open field for exploration of ideas and techniques. In particular, I find myself drawn to the disembodied paintings of heads that float on the exposed surface of her masonite canvas. The lack of body or painted background both focuses attention on the portrait, and creates a new perspective from which to experience the image.
Zoë Pawlak
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009I'm enjoying the way Zoë Pawlak approaches landscape. Her focus on colour and abstract shape creates an immediately recognizable sense of place without representing any one place in particular. Very cool.
Chris Roberts-Antieau
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Ok, they may not be 'paintings' by a strict definition, but I'm bending the rules for Chris Roberts-Antieau. Her 'fabric paintings' demonstrate a level of fun that I didn't think was allowed in adulthood, and her slightly Lynda Barry-esque imagery is full of brilliant detail. Enjoy!
Florian Fiebig
Monday, May 25th, 2009Florian Fiebig is an animator by trade, but if you visit his blog you can find some great oil paintings, ink and watercolour sketches, and drawings. It's a good way to start the week.
Greg Rook
Friday, May 22nd, 2009I stumbled across a painting of Greg Rook's while checking out the LondonPainting blog, and decided I needed to see more. What I found was a depiction of the American frontier that was simultaneously appealing and disquieting, beautifully rendered yet intentionally drawing attention to the artifice of painting. What I found was a collection of amazing paintings.
Susan Jane Belton
Thursday, May 21st, 2009Today's post is dedicated to all the coffee addicts out there. Susan Jane Belton has a great series of paintings up on her site inspired by the many many many brands of coffee that find their way into her studio. Enjoy!
Laurie Campbell
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009She has a far greater number of oil paintings on her site, but to resurrect my "this is not a theme week" method of posting I've decided to use one of Laurie Campbell's watercolours to illustrate her incredible talent at depicting everyday life and modern architecture.
Paul Ching-Bor
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009I feel as though I don't pay enough attention to watercolour as medium, considering all that it is capable of. For example, the large-scale architecture watercolours by Paul Ching-Bor are some of the most beautiful and impressive paintings I've come across in a long time. Be sure to check out the large image files available for viewing on his site.
Ben Aronson
Monday, May 18th, 2009Ben Aronson's cityscapes seem to capture the past and present in one shot, and I love them for that.

There has been a dramatic rise in the attempts of governments to censor content on the Web, Google said Thursday, saying it has received "more government removal requests than ever before."
Google said it received 2,285 government requests to remove 24,179 pieces of content from July to December 2012.
That's up from 1,811 requests to remove 18,070 pieces of content in the first half of 2012.
"It's become increasingly clear that the scope of government attempts to censor content on Google services has grown," Susan Infantino, Google's legal director, said in a blog post.
"In more places than ever, we've been asked by governments to remove political content that people post on our services."
Google said it received court orders from some countries to take down blog posts that criticized government officials or their associates.
A regional leader in France wanted to remove a blog post "that criticized aspects of his judicial career."
In Denmark, a local law enforcement office pushed for the removal of YouTube videos that criticized a foreign ambassador.
Both requests were denied by Google.
During that period, Google also saw three of its products and services, including YouTube and Picasa Web Albums, disrupted in China.
Google said it also saw sharp increases in censorship requests in Brazil and Russia.

I had my monthly teacher dinner tonight so I missed the ball game. But, I got home in time to sit down and quilt for a little while.
Remember this quilting on my "Snowbound" quilt. (I thought something just wasn't right and took it out.)
What a difference the quilting thread makes sometimes.
Granted you can't see the quilting but now I can see my thread accents.
Now I just need to quilt in the borders and add binding.
I can't believe it has taken me this long to get this quilted. I was so excited to get it finished. My, my I lose interest fast. lol
Hopefully, I'll sit down tomorrow and finish it. If . . . I can decide what fabric to use for the binding.
Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting.

There are a lot of things to consider: bang for your buck, overall size, expansion bays, ease of installation, cooling and airflow, the list goes on. This week, we're going to look at five of the best desktop computer cases, based on your nominations. Earlier in the week we asked you which desktop cases you think are the best. We could have broken this into categories, like "best case for watercooling, best gaming case, best case for this or that," but we figured you would have some good all-around suggestions, and you came through with way more cases that are great for all types of builds than we could possibly feature. Even so, five of them did stand out above the rest. Let's take a look, and when you're ready to move on to the rest of your build, head over to our freshly updated PC build guides to see what we think you should toss in your new case.

Swain is an fun champion, yet many people often choose to overlook him and choose Veigar, or Anivia. This is often because Swain, being a DOT champion, does damage more subtly and needs better timing than many other champions. I am Khazok and my main is Swain and in this guide, I hope I may help teach you how I play Swain in hopes that you may like this style of play and find it useful.
Carrion Renewal This passive gives you nigh infinite mana, as such, Swain can pop his combo off with impunity, obliterating the health of a squishy and regain mana by the time his spells are off cooldown again Decrepify This is Swain's most damaging spell, and this one's timing is the most important of all his spells. If possible, use this only while the enemy is rooted or chasing you, so they can't run out of its range. Nevermove This is an excellent and unique ability. The only other spell like this in the game is Lux's light binding, and that can only affect up to two enemies. This is what will allow you to pick partners and teams apart and release the ravens into your enemies. Nevermore will be your most used spell, for farming, harassing and starting a battle. The opponents are running away and breaking Decrepify? Quoth the Raven: Nevermove. Torment This is what makes you a nuke. The huge increase in damage output this gives allows you to eat up the squishies that you do. This buffs all damage coming from you, including that of Ignite, Nevermove and decrepify, the two most common ways you will nab kills. Ravenous Flock This is what sets Swain apart from the likes of Fiddlesticks, Malzahar, or from being a dps Veigar. This makes Swain nigh unkillable. The fact the this is a toggle on a 10 second cooldown makes Swain never have to leave the lane except to buy items. This can be kept on for up to 7 seconds without being a huge drain on mana and due to Swains passive, he can gain the mana right back. Pop this during every fight. It adds damage and heals you. It is also excellent for farming. That said, if you are ignited, get out of damage taking area before coming back, because ignite reduces your healing potential. -
Play Style
You are a tanky caster. Your job is to eat dps squishies like Fiddlesticks, Caitlyn, Miss Fortune, Cassiopea, Tryndamere and Lux for breakfast while outlasting them with a 10 second toggle ultimate. You excel in the laning phase, with or without a partner. Your combo is Torment into Nevermove + Decrepify. When rooted there is nothing they can do to stop your decrepify from hitting them for the full duration. Your torment will add to the damage of your decrepify and, if that fails to kill them. An Ignite will. This is doubly effective since torment's damage bonus even increases the damage from ignite.
Masteries + Runes
With masteries I go 9/0/21, I use pretty standard caster masteries, if you choose not to pick flash as a summoner spell, you could get a point in greed, utility mastery or expanded mind, whatever floats your boat.
for runes I use
9x Greater Glyph of Force
9x Greater Mark of Insight
9x Greater Seal of Clarity
3x Greater Quintessence of Force
These are chosen to maximize the damage of your combo. -
Skilling Order
I normally pick Nevermore first, as it often leads to a quick first blood with a laning partner, and without one, it is still needed for your other spells to be effective anyways. I then get Decrepify to flesh out my CC and add survivability. After that I level up torment first, as it is needed to do the damage necessary to get your kills. After that I level nevermore, because nevermore is the initiator of your combo and you need it to get your combo off.
I usually start with Doran's Ring or Sapphire Crystal due to Swain's high need for mana early game. Of course, after that, I vary my build with my opponents, but the items I consider to be my core items are Sorcerer's Shoes, Rod of Ages, Rabadon's Deathcap and Zhonya's Hourglass. If their team has heavy CC, I may switch out the Sorcerer's shoes for Mercury's Treads. Spirit Visage can be replaced or delayed by getting Frozen Heart, Zhonya's Hourglass or Rabadon's Deathcap
Summoner Abilities
Ignite is a must. It is buffed by Torment and is great for finishing off those squishies.
I always get either Flash for the mobility that Swain lacks and to escape after killing an enemy or to chase that squishy down. -
Build Examples
This is my favourite build and is the one I like to use most games if I am doing well:
Sorcerer's Shoes
Rod of AgesAthene's Unholy Grail
Will of the Ancients, Spirit Visage or Deathfire Grasp or Abyssal Scepter
If the enemy does not have as much magic resist or if your team has alot of magic users, you may want to get Frozen Heart instead of Abyssal Scepter.
and here is a caster build with extra nuke:
Sorcerer's Shoes
Rod of Ages
Deathfire Grasp
Athene's Unholy Grail
Abyssal Scepter or Will of the Ancients
Rabadon's Deathcap -
Pros / Cons
Great 1v1 or 2v2
Underestimated damage
Excellent CC
A Nuking Caster with Survivability
Timing Focus adds fun
Great team-fight healing
Great versus AD carries
Vulnerable to Burst Damage
Vulnerable to healing reduction
Vulnerable to CC reduction
Needs Perfect Timing -
Working in the team
Your job is to serve as an ap carry, do not initiate unless superfed, but get in there in the middle of the fight as soon as your tank initiates. You excel in 1v1 situations and small skirmishes result in the death of many enemies. In team fights, use your CC to pick their team apart and take them out 1 by 1 starting with the squishiest one (usually the ad carry). Remember, your ultimate is only on a ten second cooldown, just use it!
Good teammates
Great teammates include:
Jungle Fiddlesticks: One of the best partners for Swain, root them in his ult and watch them die. Fiddle also can silence those scary burst champions for you.
Garen: Demaciaaa!!!. Root them slow them, and watch them crumble to the pair of you.
Amumu: Good solid jungler with strong ult and good initiate
Blitzcrank: Pull, then root, then dead, all to be said. -
Bad Enemies
Healing Reduction: Do not solo these champions. They essentially make you as squishy as Veigar, but you kill them less fast. Also watch for characters with ignite or Executioner's Calling.
Long Duration Stunners: Against these enemies, pop your ult before the stun, that way, you will still be alive when it ends.
Long Range CC: These characters make it difficult to get close enough to get your combo off, ganking may be necessary to take them down.
Burst Nukes: If your ult does not have time to heal you, you are a very dead squishy. Do not let them get close enough to bring the pain.Fizz: Bloody Fizz. I cannot stand going against a Fizz. Very hard to fight, very little you can do. He has not one, but two dashes. If you ever land your root on him, it will be a miracle. He can realistically jump in and jump out after hitting you once, and there is very little you can do to stop him. Just try to farm this lane and avoid combat. Fortunately, Fizz is not highly played.
Swain is the often under-rated master of DOT, I hope you have fun playing this often overlooked character and have great success in your games. Feed your hungry bird and remain five steps ahead of your enemy while playing this master of war.

What went into the conclusion that the private sector would be increase by fifty cents? Would I not be unfair to level the criticism raised if the effect on taxes had been taken into account? Doesn't an expansion of the private sector mean there is a greater tax base from which to be able to pay back debt? Don't many government programs, infrastructure improvements for example, increase overall productivity over time? Are these increases in productivity always accurately measured?

Gucci Mane, Young Jeezy, Keyshia Cole, Gucci Mane Beef, Young Jeezy Beef
Just as the Gucci and Jeezy feud seemed to be dying down, Mane involved another party to the mix - r&b songstress Keyshia Cole. Mane alleges in his "Truth" single that while Cole was dating Jeezy, she carried out an affair with Diddy back in 2006.
"Putting all ya trust in some of these 'Hood Rappers'.. How u gone be a G, and u spreading lies, To sell mix tapes! Where ya talent at," Cole tweeted on yesterday. "I will continue 2 build what I'm working so hard accomplish! I'm married with a child, and don't have no place in that none sense!"
Soon after Jeezy was featured on Gucci's 2005 single "Icy," the two's relationship began spiraling downwards where eventually Gucci was suspected for shooting a member of Jeezy's crew. Even though the incident was dropped in court due to insufficient evidence, Gucci till this day defends his decision to fire at his assailants claiming it was all in self-defense.
That ain't my business!! he's lying! its all G tho. RT @imbrittanyduh: Gucci Mane wrong for putting @keyshiacole buisness out there.

Replacement Funding Requests Vulnerable
Even during good economic times, securing sufficient funds for timely vehicle replacement is a challenge for many organizations. This challenge stems in part from a lack of understanding of the trade-off between a vehicle's capital and operating costs, as illustrated in Charts 1 and 2 (see pdf).
Many decision makers also do not fully appreciate the role fleet plays in supporting an organization's primary mission. Intellectually, they may understand vehicles are a necessary tool for directly or indirectly supporting the delivery of goods and services. When push comes to shove, however, decision makers may be quick to cut fleet funding in the belief vehicle purchases are, at least to some degree, a discretionary expense deferrable during times of fiscal constraint.
However, the vulnerability of fleet replacement funding in most organizations stems less from a lack of appreciation of the importance of vehicles or the need to replace them on a regular basis, than from an inability to deal with year-to-year fleet replacement spending needs, inherently lumpy in most organizations.
Chart 3 (see pdf) illustrates the long-term replacement costs of a small government fleet of about 160 vehicles. The fleet comprises 56 different types of vehicles and pieces of equipment. The replacement cost (i.e., purchase price) in today's dollars of each of these assets ranges from $5,200 to $353,000. Their replacement intervals range from four to 20 years. The weighted average replacement cycle for all the fleet assets is 10 years, and the weighted average replacement cost is $62,000.
As demonstrated, projected annual replacement costs for this fleet are quite uneven, ranging from a low of about $250,000 in 2011 to a high of almost $3 million in 2016. This lumpiness is common in virtually all government fleets.
The biggest impediment many organizations face to replacing vehicles in a timely manner (and thus minimizing vehicle total cost of ownership) is the lack of a replacement program to deal with such volatile spending needs. Specifically, organizations do not know how to accommodate year-to-year changes in spending requirements when the source of funds for such expenditures is relatively static.
The solution to this problem lies in pursuing one of two courses of action:
What's the difference?
Fleet Replacement Financing Alternatives: Ad Hoc Appropriations
Fleet replacement funding requirements are a function of the way in which an organization pays for or finances vehicle acquisitions. If vehicle acquisitions are financed through ad hoc appropriations of cash and outright purchase, year-over-year replacement funding needs are every bit as volatile as spending needs. This is because cash financing involves paying for a vehicle in full at the time it is acquired and placed in service, and because the confluence of replacement dates for the many vehicles and different types of vehicles in a typical government fleet results in peaks and valleys in the annual number of replacements.
Many organizations believe cash payments are the cheapest way to replace fleet assets. Interest charges are not involved in this financing method, as is the case with leasing, loans, or other types of "pay-as-you-go" financing. Thus, it would appear an economically as well as fiscally prudent way to acquire vehicles.
Such thinking overlooks the fact, however, that using cash to finance fleet replacement costs creates the volatile funding requirements illustrated in Chart 3 (see pdf). While near-term peaks and valleys in annual replacement spending needs sometimes can be eliminated by manipulating the timing of the replacement of individual vehicles, no amount of such manipulation completely eliminates year-to-year fluctuations in spending and, hence, funding needs over the long term.

I don't know why, but I have a fascination with unique or different writing instruments. To be honest, I do not really like writing by hand, and some would say my penmanship is horrendous. But if I had to guess, I would have to say I appreciate what pens and pencils represent. A time when we wrote handwritten notes, and the writer side of me can still appreciate that as I do have a fine collection that I do use. The INK machined pen, a Kickstarter project from KarasKustoms, has caught my eye. The INK comes in two versions, a rollerball version or a fountain pen type. The rollerball version comes with Schmidt rollerball insert but can also use Parker or Fisher refills. The fountain version comes with a #5 stainless steel German-made nib assembly and converter manufactured by Schmidt. The nib assembly will work with standard ink cartridges, or you can use the provided converter to use bottled ink. The main body of both pens is manufactured out of T-6061 aircraft aluminum, with the grip section coming in either aluminum, brass, or copper. The pen clip and screws are made from stainless steel. If funded, the INK will be available in a rainbow of colors (their description) and will start shipping in April 2014. Funding for the INK starts at $60, which will get you a silver rollerball version of the INK. Funding for this project runs through January 17, 2014.

Gotta get me one or three of these. And my birthday is in April!
December 23, 2013, 4:50 pm
Don't understand this project at all. There are many different fountain pens on the market, at all kinds of prices. A fountain pen's quality is a matter of the nib and the balance. This one is all about the barrel, and not the writing experience, so what's the point? (no pun intended)

Shaiha's Teaview Snapshot
"Excellent black tea blend! Highly recommended."
We have carefully blended this tea in memory of a dear friend of ours. He liked his tea strong in character, yet smooth enough to enjoy after that perfect meal. Our Manhattan Tribute Blend is the perfect combination of Indian, Formosan and Ceylon teas, devised for late day and after dinner consumption when the palate is satiated. When brewed, it produces a bold cup with a slightly floral note.
The leaves in this blend range in color from a dark flat brown to a reddish gold and are mainly broken. The aroma is rather mild and then an all around sense of 'teaness' I get the scent of growing things and baking bread.
Now I usually brew my black teas between 2 to 4 minutes depending on the tea. Mark T. Wendell however recommends letting it steep for 5 minutes using a water temp of 205 degrees. Much longer then I normally would but I decided to follow the recommendations.
The liquor brews up to bold copper deepened into almost black. The aroma is still rather mild with bits of spice, sweet bread and tobacco. I am not actually finding any floral notes.
This tea is full bodied with a medium mouthfeel. There is no astringency and just a hint of dryness at the edges of the tongue. The taste really does remind of sweetbread with the yeast, the cinnamon, a breadiness along the sweetness of flowers that lingers on the roof of the mouth.
What an impressive black tea blend. I am going to have to pick up more when I restock. Oh and the encouragement, this tea has it in spades. And one last thing, 10% of each sale of this tea is donated towards cancer research.
Visit Mark T. Wendell Teas for more information on this tea and many more from their extensive product catalogue.

Can 13 year olds go in the 10-12 year old group in the Lab if they want to? Do they allow this? Anyone done it before? Thanks! DJ
I would also like to know the answer! When we cruise in November, my oldest DD will have just turned 13, 4 weeks before! Her sibling will be in the 10-12 group! I too would like to see her join in the lab!
You can move down a 13 YO to the 10 - 12 group, but then they can not participate in any of the Teen activities. You can't wander between the two groups, you must choose one and then stick with it for the rest of the cruise.
When we cruised on the Wonder my niece was a young 13 and she did not enjoy the teen club at all and spent most of the time on her own. Two years later, we are getting ready to leave for our Spring Break Adventure which is going on the Magic, and my niece finally 'fesses that she wished we had dropped her down to the lab as those activities would have been better for her. Unfortunately, we did not know this was a possibility at the time. Now she is older and with a year of high school under her belt, not to mention some work in the local community theater, she is ready for the teen group. So do not be afraid to do this, particularly for a young 13 yo.
That is good to know. We may book a cruise for 2007 if the girls (I have twins) can go to the Lab instead of the teen place. One of my daughters is VERY immature and always does better with younger kids, and the other one is pretty easy going and will probably hang with her dad and I a lot of the time anyway. We weren't going to go that year because of them not being able to go to the lab, but if they can, I will probably book a cruise when they open those dates. Thanks! DJ
Does this work the same on the younger age groups? Mine will be 4 and 8. The eight year old would have just turned 8 four days before the cruise. She would be fine going with the older group, but the 4 yr old is more likely to go in with no fussing if his big sister is with him. And she'll be fine playing with the kids in that age group as well.
In the oceaneer club the kids are in two groups...3-4 & 5-7. If your 8 yo were to drop to the 5-7 group IDK if they would let her hang out with the 3-4 yos. Most of the activities have those two age groups seperated. It might work out if you can have your 4 yo put in the 5-7 yo group though. I think that it would depend alot on how close to 5 he is & how he handles the environment.
So, they'll pretty much let you pick the age group you want them in (within reason)? He'll turn 4 in May (so, he'll be 4 and 5 months), and he is pretty shy, so I don't know how well he would do with the 5-7 yr old group though anyway. Are the 5-7 yr olds in the same area - just different activities? In other words, would they enter in the same area? I think once he got in, he'd be fine when they tried to separate the groups, as long as she was in eyesight at different times.
If there is room, with counselor approval, they generally will allow a drop down in age group. As stated above, no flip flopping though, they must remain in that group the entire cruise. They do not in most cases allow moving up in age however. If there is room, and they are within a week or two of their birthday, it may sometimes be granted.
So, are they in the same general area though - just two separate groups? I really don't think he would do well with the 5-7 group anyway. But if they aren't really in the same area, I may as well let her go in the 8-9 group.
That would be no problem. We were not going to cruise the year the twins would be 13 because of them having to go to the teen group, but if they could stay in the lab, we would consider a cruise that year. I noticed on our last cruise there were many 7th graders in the lab anyway (age 12 or so) and on that cruise they are 13 they will be in 7th grade (because Indiana starts kids later, if we were still in Ohio where they were born they would be one grade ahead--but I am OK with where they are). So they would still be with kids in their 'grade'. I am THRILLED! This gives us one more year to cruise before we have to worry about the teen scene (at which time we may just head to WDW instead of cruising). Thanks everyone! DJ
No, they do not always stay in the same place. In fact there are times when you have to drop them off in two places. DS was in the 5-7s & DD was in the 3-4s and this happened most of the time. The older group goes to the movie theater to watch a movie, up on the sports deck to play games, and the lab when those age groups are elsewhere. Some of the activities are just too old for the 3-4s to be around...like making flubber or the Captain Hook activity. That one would probably scare most 3-4 yos to be honest just because the Captain is so tall. Now, if you want to go to Palo one night & your DS isn't doing well on his own, you may be able to have DD stay with him as a visitor, but not checked into the club the same way. I read that was allowed on the board one time with the same situation. I agree that putting him in the 5-7 group probably wouldn't be the best thing for him since he will be a young 4, but again, talk to the head counselor when you sign them up. I know that my 4 yr 3 mo DD was offered the chance to move up to the 5-7s to be with her 6 yo brother if she had a problem being in the club without him. That was offered to me out of the blue by a CM in the club as an option when I told them that she might cry for a minute but if they just get her busy coloring she would be fine after we left.
I was also worried about my DS being in the Teen Club. He turned 13 the day we left on the Wonder. He loved the Teen Club, and didn't want any part of the Lab. I think it made him feel grown up. He liked the fact that he could come and go as he pleased. My DS-7 signed up for the Club and he didn't like it, thought it was way to young for him. He just hung out with us most of the time. My DD-5 loved the Club and never wanted to leave My DS-7 felt like an only child for 4 days
Kids change so much from 1 year to the next during those middle school years. I may end up letting my girls go to the teen place to try it out (one of my girls is a 'tell all' type, so I will know if there are problems). It just makes me nervous. Thanks for your input. It is nice to know I will have some options. DJ

Alan Stuart Trammell is a retired American baseball shortstop of the Detroit Tigers from 1977 to 1996. Trammell, nicknamed "Tram", had a successful playing career with the Tigers, highlighted by a World Series championship in 1984 and an American League East division championship in 1987. One of the best defensive shortstops of the 1980s, Trammell had good range, soft hands and was smooth turning the double play. Although his arm was not overpowering, he had a quick release and made accurate throws. Trammell's solid, steady defense perfectly complemented the play of his double play partner, Lou Whitaker, with whom Trammell formed the most enduring keystone-combination in Major League Baseball history. He would later serve as the team's manager from 2003 through 2005. He currently is the bench coach for the Chicago Cubs.

"I hope I get to continue with this because there is some unfinished business. I'm going to be in baseball for many more years, whether it is here or not. I'm not done. I'm confident that I can do this."
"You would like to hold them off as long as possible and to be honest, we did that. Congratulations to the White Sox. They've had a heck of a year."
"We broke out today, it's been awhile."
"I think he's the brightest thing to happen to us this season. He's a big piece of the puzzle."
"Somewhere after the All-Star break he started dropping down a little more, especially to the right-handed hitters. He has just been pitching lights-out. He's tough. There's no question about it. He was the story of the game tonight."
"I know some of them were good hitting, but I'd say there have been way too many pitches in the middle of the plate."
"The first three innings were the key. We had a lot of opportunities, but we didn't score. That came back to hurt us."
"In my opinion, it's a sleeping giant."

You know?
Life sucks sometimes.
You know?
So...what's been going on?
I'm a masochist. No, not of the sexual variety. Of the slashdot variety. For some reason, not only do I still continue to read this site, I click on links to stories about cars and phones. The raging stupidity and arrogance is amazing.
And yet I come back.
Does anything around here work anymore? I go to the zoo.pl page (uid changed to mine to protect the guilty) to try to change friend/foe/neutral status, and I get:

I have to click in three different places to find the right link to let me do a JE.
I was gonna give a laundry list, but fuck it, it's just pissing in the wind. I figure Dice was able to buy it for, what, the price of one week of coffee at Starbucks?
Can I post this and then delete it? Maybe. Does it exist 10 minutes from now? When is now? Why is Hitler, Who is Spain?
Thanks to whoever burned five.
Wow, you get so many mod points, you feel the need to blast all 10 at me? I'm no longer the most prolific poster on slashdot, why do you bother?
Limited to 25 posts/day? When did that happen. Lame.
Earlier this month, I was at CES, looking at cool gadgets and shooting some video for Slashdot, and last week I did the same in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show. Since shooting video is something I'm (let's be kind) inexperienced at, esp. with camera-attached doodads (mixer, shotgun mic, lav mic, tripod), this got a bit awkward at times.
I tried a few different bag configurations on the CES show floor. What I finally settled on was this: In my conventional-looking (but Li-Ion battery-equipped!) PowerBag backpack, I carried very little -- basically, my laptop, some food, and whatever paper goods I picked up in the course of the show, like brochures, etc. For almost everything else, I had my Checkpoint Flyer, sans removable laptop case.*
- Mic packs (one receiver, one transmitter), mics (lavalier, handheld, shotgun) and mixer (and a few associated cords) went into the larger outer pocket
- flexible tripod (a Gorillapod knockoff from Vivitar) stuck, with one leg out, in the flexible side pocket
- camera, well padded, in the central portion; I kept its hotshoe mic-mount attached.
- headphone case fit in the smaller of the outer pockets (one of my favorite uses for that pocket!)
- spare batteries, SD card in the flat inner pockets
- notepaper and such in the large (magazine) pocket; gum and pens in the smaller (boarding pass) one.
(This list is not exhaustive; I was carrying wallet and other small things not here accounted for.)
I realized toward the end that the extra attachment points (sorry, custom work -- thanks, Tom! You really should put them on every Flyer
In Detroit, I did not carry around the backpack, and I switched from the Checkpoint Flyer to my Super Ego. The Super Ego is bigger, but I'm not sure it was actually any better as a video bag, because it lacks the nice top-zipping outer pockets on the Checkpoint Flyer, and it's not quite as easy to swing easily through a crowd. It still worked well for my purpose, though; I could put the camera away quickly in the central storage space when I wanted to have both hands free, and I stashed most cables and mics in the two outer pockets. (No room for the shotgun mic this way, though, so that went in with the camera itself.)
Upshot: Though neither is a specialized video bag (and I felt it at moments), both the Flyer and the Super Ego did a great job as impromptu production assistants
* Why not carry the laptop there? Because I was carrying a laptop too big for the inner case I have. That's why. Why carry the laptop at all? Because I needed it as a middleman to transfer files from my camera to the guy who put them into a watchable form, from the show's press room.
It seems that slashdot is learning from the users. If ever there was a Troll Tuesday for the front page, it is today. Let's see, we've got a story taking advantage of gender divides, a story taking advantage of Middle East division, several Apple stories, climate change/evolution, and a game console story. Still a few hours to go, so perhaps there is still time for a coding language story, a text editor story, and a distro/desktop story.
Do we still need to add crap at the bottom to prevent it from disappearing?
The best thing about trolling APK? Sometimes I want to read an article a few days later when more discussion has occurred. If I put a reply in it, APK will helpfully respond to it. Next time I login, there is a convenient reminder in my message list.
Thanks Alex!
Thanks go out to Dr. Bob. Usually when I'm bored with mod points, I'll go and split them between marking Barbie 'Troll' and 'Insightful'. Or I'll go dump fifteen on pudge. But tonight, Dr. Bob gets five points of mod bombing. If only all quackopractors were modbombed out of business.
Governor Martin O'Malley
100 State Circle
Annapolis, Maryland
Dear Sir:
Now that both Arizona and Utah have named official state firearms (Colt Single Action, and John Browning's immortal 1911, respectively), I think it's time that the great state of Maryland upstage these upstart also-ran states -- more like territories, really -- by officializing an official firearm as well. After all, Maryland has what is truly the most martial of all state songs. Citizens of what other state are enjoined to "remember Howards warlike thrust," or "avenge the patriotic gore that flecked the streets of Baltimore"?
Further, as a born Marylander, I have a gun in mind that reflects well the government of Maryland's view of citizens' right to carry arms for their own self defense and in the defense of liberty. Please consider any of the options from this entire line of products.
Of course, in light of modern circumstances in the Old Line State, the actual gun chosen should be locked up and behind glass, rather than out endangering the children.

A mandatory evacuation has been ordered for the entire city of St. Augustine, Florida, ahead of Hurricane Matthew, authorities say. The evacuation is set to begin at 6 a.m. ET Thursday.
As hundreds of thousands of people potentially in the path of Hurricane Matthew fled inland Wednesday, not everyone was evacuating.
In Charleston, South Carolina, which likely will see the powerful storm's impact this weekend, some people were boarding up businesses.
Cheryl Quinn told CNN's Stephanie Elam she is planning to hunker down.
"I think we're staying put," she said. She and her husband were fine a year ago when Charleston endured heavy rain after a brush with a big storm. "It was kind of a party down here. I hate to say that," because storms can be scary, she added.
Still, Quinn has a backup plan.
"We have a hotel reservation in our back pocket, and we're kind of just playing it by ear," she said.
Officials cautioned residents of Florida, South Carolina and Georgia not to wait to decide whether they should stay or go.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned residents they had 24 hours to get ready, or better yet, get going.
More than 1.5 million Floridians live in the 12 counties under evacuation orders.
The National Hurricane Center isn't saying that Matthew will make landfall in Florida, just that the center of the storm will get "very near" the Atlantic Coast, possibly as a Category 4 hurricane.
Even if Matthew doesn't come ashore, Florida will be hit by strong winds and heavy rain, Scott said.
Matthew has already killed 15 people and carved a trail of destruction in several Caribbean countries.
As of Wednesday night, Matthew hurled 115 mph (185 kph) winds as it passed over the Bahamas, the National Hurricane Center said.
The hurricane was about 170 miles (275 kilometers) south of Nassau, Bahamas, and 360 miles (580 kilometers) from West Palm Beach, Florida.
President Barack Obama warned Americans in the storm's path to pay attention and take any evacuation orders seriously. He said if the core of the storm strikes Florida, it could have a "devastating effect."
Florida braces for 'direct hit'
Scott has activated 1,500 National Guard members. He has repeatedly warned that a direct hit by Matthew could lead to "massive destruction" on a level unseen since Hurricane Andrew devastated the Miami area in 1992.
Many residents found long gas lines Wednesday but Scott said the state is not experiencing any gas supply or distribution shortages. "We have heard of some individual stations (being) short, but in no area of the state are we short of fuel," the governor said, adding that the state has placed fuel in some areas and sends it to stations that need more.
Airline passengers were urged to call before leaving for the airport. Fort Lauderdale's airport is to close Thursday at 10:30 a.m. and FlightAware.com says almost 250 flights are canceled at Miami International.
State offices will be closed Thursday and Friday in 26 counties, Scott said.
Palm Beach residents cleared many grocery store shelves ahead of the storm.
In Jupiter, resident Randy Jordan told CNN affiliate WPEC people were pushing and shoving their way through the local Home Depot to buy supplies ranging from batteries to flashlights.
Residents still had a sense of humor. Olivia A. Cole posted a photo on Twitter of an empty grocery shelf, save for eight cans of a soup typically enjoyed in another region of the country. "South Florida wants to survive #HurricaneMatthew. But we'd rather die than eat clam chowder," Cole joked.
Mandatory evacuations in South Carolina
Gov. Nikki Haley gave evacuation orders for the coastal counties of Charleston and Beaufort.
An estimated 250,000 residents evacuated from Charleston and Beaufort, said Kim Stenson, the director of South Carolina Emergency Management. He said as many as 200,000 people will leave Thursday.
Tempers apparently flared during the slow traffic out of Charleston. A man got out of his truck at point where vehicles were being redirected, removed a traffic cone and sped away. Police chased the man until he stopped on a dead-end road. Berkeley County Chief Deputy Mike Cochran told CNN that the man fired at deputies and police officers, who shot back and wounded the man.
The man was hospitalized, but his condition is unknown.
The South Carolina Department of Transportation changed the directions of eastbound traffic lanes to accommodate the exodus of people leaving coastal cities like Charleston.
North Carolina playing it by ear
Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of emergency for more than half the state's 100 counties. The changing forecast now predicts the storm won't have as great an impact on the state as once feared, and Matthew might even turn around before it gets to North Carolina.
"We're just going to have to play it by ear and have our resources ready," the governor said.
Officials are still concerned areas in eastern North Carolina that were recently flooded will see drenching rains from Matthew.
Georgia governor: 'Remain calm, be prepared'
Gov. Nathan Deal has declared a state of emergency in 30 counties on or near the Atlantic Coast.
"I urge Georgians in the affected areas to remain calm, be prepared and make informed, responsible decisions as we continue to monitor Hurricane Matthew's path," Deal said.
Residents of islands just east of Savannah were being urged to evacuate. A mandatory order was in effect in Tybee Island.

Single Adventure Vacations to Tahiti
The mere word, "Tahiti," conjures images of frangipani blossoms, swaying palm trees and verdant volcanic fingers pushing upward from lagoons where Gauguin waded. French Polynesia's main island and home to its capital city, Papetee (population around 100,000), Tahiti is cosmopolitan enough to offer all the amenities a single traveler would want, yet paradisical enough to boast the natural beauty an adventurer craves. From surfing and snorkeling to scuba diving and kayaking, the lagoons, motus (islets) and mountains of Tahiti will present you with more adventure options than you can take on in a single journey.
Eco Tours
Rich in Polynesian heritage, the island is the ancestral home to the great seafaring people that colonized such distant places as Hawaii, the Marquesas and Easter Island. Tahiti is rich in culture, much of which can be experienced by hiking ancient trails that lead past maraes (holy sites) and waterfalls and through deep fern grottoes and lava tubes. For the more adventurous, camping trips include climbing and canyoning through the lush volcanic mountains at the island's center. Puarai Excursions (P.O. Box 110-361; 98709 Mahina-Tahiti; 011-689-48-16-24) and Le Circuit Vert (P.O. Box 7426; 98719 Taravao-Tahiti; 011-689-57-22-67 are reputable guides for overnight trips. Patrick Adventure can arrange day trips and 4x4 safaris (P.O. Box 20-999; 98713; Papeete-Tahiti; 011-689-83-29-29).
Although famous for its monster wave, Teahupoo (one of the heaviest slabs ever surfed), Tahiti is a surprisingly uncrowded surf destination with wide open, hollow barrels rolling in over gin-clear water. Leave Teahupoo for the pros, and hit one of the islands numerous other breaks. Set up camp with like-minded board riders at Teahupoo Surf Lodge and Surfaris (nomadsurfers.com). The lodge is set up like a Tahitian village, with a ring of thatched huts overlooking the Pacific swells as they race towards shore. A meal plan is available, as is a surf guide to help you find waves as tasty as the lodge's authentic cuisine.
Snorkeling and Diving
A number of dive shops in Tahiti offer vacation packages that pair accommodations with daily (or even twice daily) scuba diving excursions. Dive Tahiti Blue (divetahitiblue.com) offers a variety of lodging options that range from over the water bungalows to live aboard dive boats that explore numerous sites in the Society Islands. Such package operators can make all your reservations for you and frequently offer specials that steeply discount the cost of the trip when booked at certain times or in certain combinations.
Organized Singles Tours
A number of reputable tour companies, like Singles in Paradise (singlesinparadise.com), offer organized tour packages to Tahiti for groups of singles. The itineraries typically include accommodations in the over the water bungalows that have become iconic of French Polynesia. Adventure activities on such trips typically include things like four-wheel drive safaris into the island's interior, scuba diving (including hand-feeding sharks) and snorkeling. Rays, dolphins and migratory humpback whales are common encounters on such excursions, so bring a waterproof camera to memorialize your adventures.

| InfoHounds Integrates with Salesforce to Help Loan Officers Succeed in Purchase Origination MarketInfoHounds, a provider of advanced marketing solutions for the mortgage industry, unveiled a seamless integration with Salesforce.com. InfoHounds for Salesforce brings sophisticated big data solutions that can help in a purchase origination market.
"I am very excited about the recent integration of InfoHounds' Just Listed reports with our Salesforce database. The setup was quick and easy, and on the very first sync we had several hits of clients who had listed their property for sale!", said Jared Martin, CEO of Keystone Funding, a multi-state lender based in Media, PA. InfoHounds developed the integration with Salesforce in response to demand from loan officers for solutions to help drive purchase origination deal flow. "Adding InfoHounds to a mortgage firm's CRM is a game changer that is much needed at a time when the mortgage industry is struggling to quickly shift to a purchase origination market", said Jason Kelley, CEO of InfoHounds. "It is no secret that it is more cost effective to build a client base that generates repeat business instead of constantly reinventing the wheel, however executing on such a strategy is easier said than done. InfoHounds will help bridge that gap." By integrating InfoHounds, mortgage professionals that use Salesforce can supercharge their existing CRM from a static database to a system that is dynamically updated with actionable customer intelligence. InfoHounds has built sophisticated algorithms that match contacts in Salesforce to hundreds of real estate data sources in order to produce advanced sales and marketing products, such as email campaigns that are personalized with customer specific real estate data. Using the same technology, InfoHounds can identify when a contact in Salesforce lists their home for sale, which is an early, predictive indicator of a future mortgage need for most consumers. "Low conversion, high cost strategies such as buying mortgage leads or sending generic drip marketing just won't cut it in this highly competitive market. With InfoHounds for Salesforce, it is easier than ever to give mortgage professionals the edge that our industry leading solutions can provide", said Kelley. For details on InfoHounds mortgage marketing and mortgage leads for Salesforce, visit: www.infohounds.com/ About InfoHounds InfoHounds is a Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) provider of predictive analytics and advanced marketing solutions for the mortgage industry. With cutting-edge technology that monitors thousands of real estate data sources and direct access to an increasing number of CRM platforms that mortgage professionals use, InfoHounds has quickly grown to a national customer base that includes mortgage firms in nearly every state in the U.S. in less than a year since launching.
