We typically work under extreme deadlines and when parts we require are unavailable, they promptly work with us to find acceptable alternates to make sure we get the parts we need, by the time we need them. The prices on the "economy" part alternatives have been additionally good for us by enabling us to control costs and be competitive in the marketplace. Thanks for all the great service and product!

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/01/2014 -- Children4Tomorrow's purpose is for all children to grow up and thrive as mentally and emotionally healthy adults. C4T develops a community awareness of emotional abuse. We center on helping children who have endured mental and emotional abuse, providing them with counseling and adequate advocacy on their behalf. C4T strives to achieve these fundamental purposes through providing financial support to families with children in need.
Dwilene Lindsey, President, firstname.lastname@example.com
To Donate
Children4Tomorrow.org Executive Director, Herbert A. Barnes, Jr., Announced a New "Restoring Minds ~ Building Futures" Program to Help Children Who Have Endured Emotional Abuse
DWILENE LINDSEY is a native Houstonian. At the age of 17, she lost her dad in a tragic accident. It was at that time she began being strengthened and refined in her Christian Faith. Dwilene carries a passion for helping children. Today, Dwilene is a thriving entrepreneur and an active member of the Houston Project Program (who mentors children in Christ). She holds a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) with honors; Summa Cum Laude. Dwilene is committed to helping children reach their highest potential in Christ. Children4Tomorrow recognizes the consequences of emotional abuse at different ages and developmental stages.
Children4Tomorrow has developed the LEAP Program to educate individuals on emotional abuse and restoring skills to enhance a child's future. The LEAP Program is especially for parents, teachers, professionals and adults that are interested in learning about the effects of emotional abuse on children. The goal is to train individuals to understand and recognize emotional child abuse. Individuals learn how to battle the effects of the abuse, recognize a child in an abusive situation, and regain hope for a brighter future. Nurturing skills is essential in reducing or eliminating the development of other serious behavioral problems.
Emotional abuse of a child is commonly defined as a pattern of behavior by caregivers that can seriously interfere with a child's cognitive, emotional, psychological or social development. Child abuse is also referred to as psychological maltreatment. The 4-Course LEAP program presents a certificate of completion at the end of the course suitable for submission to the Harris County Family Law Court. LEAP series is also eligible for professional development units (PDU) and continuing education units (CEU). The definition of emotional abuse is often complex. However, professionals agree that, occasional negative attitudes or actions are not considered emotional abuse.

About DWILENE LINDSEY
In 2009, my perception of mental and emotional abuse was forever changed after witnessing firsthand the devastating effects and personal turmoil it was bringing to two children close to my heart. It saddened me that I was unable to rescue these children or even provide funding to help them. Instead of getting bitter about the situation I set out to do something about it. Collaborating with my best friend and daughter, we began researching different avenues and options we could take to help other children break from the shackles of mental and emotional abuse. In our research, we came across material on how to file for a corporation and how to file for a 501(c) (3) non-profit entity and a spark was ignited. Despite banter from others that this process would take at least a year or more, on February 5, 2010, only three months after we started, God opened a door and we had an incorporated, non-profit organization, Children 4 Tomorrow.
This process was a true test of faith and a challenge to our spirit. Armed with only $500.00, the common love for children, a passionate vision and a bedroom as our headquarters, we were able to persevere and create this organization aimed at bringing education and support to the community. Although we were ecstatic to serve two children our first year, we regrettably had to turn down five other children due to lack of financing. This was devastating to our organization and an eye opener to the battle ahead. But we were up for the challenge.
A strong emphasis was placed on formulating a strong fundraising campaign in hopes to serve more children. Within four months we planned and held our first major event; a Charity Golf Tournament and Silent Auction that will become a staple of this organization and an annual fundraising event. In our first year as an organization, we raised approximately $9,000.00 which was better than the loss we were told to expect.
In 2011, we plan to raise funds to serve 20 children with an increase growth of 50% per year thereafter. Our challenge is to find volunteers, sponsors, and employees that are compassionate and committed to helping every child have a sunrise in their heart, a twinkle in their eye and illuminate with hope.
Three years later we have made an impact in our city and community. However there are still so many children whose lives have been and still are significantly affected by life-threatening child abuse. Our efforts are far from complete. Every single day in this city children are victims to child abuse, neglect and abandonment. Nevertheless with our present team of board members, volunteers, financial and organizational resources we are hopeful, and our passionate vision marches on.

Ten dollars will buy five seedlings to restore vegetation in burned areas in the San Juan National Forest, with the donor or a designated alternate receiving a certificate of recognition.
The pitch comes from the U.S. Forest Service through its national Plant-a-Tree Program started in 1983 to give natural regeneration a boost.
San Juan National Forest officials plan to focus on the restoration of ponderosa pine and spruce forests burned in major wildfires Missionary Ridge around Vallecito and Narraguinnep near Dolores.
Seeds are being planted now at the Charles E. Bessey Tree Nursery in Northwest Nebraska, to have seedlings next year and in 2014, project director Gretchen Fitzgerald, a forester, said Friday.
They get an extra year of growth because theyre allowed to grow for three or four months, then made dormant by reducing the amount of water they get. When growth is stimulated again, the trees think theyre a year older, she said.
Spruce seedlings will be planted at 10,000 to 11,000 feet elevation on Missionary Ridge next fall, Fitzgerald said. Ponderosa seedlings will be planted in 2014 at about 8,000 feet elevation around Narraguinnep, she sad.
It costs about $2 per tree to grow seedlings in a nursery and plant them.
Some burned areas reforest naturally through aspen or natural conifer regeneration, Fitzgerald said. But on southeast to southwest slopes and harsher environments, regeneration can take centuries.
We focus tree planting in areas where large-scale fires have occurred outside wilderness areas, Fitzgerald said. There is virtually no probability that these areas will reforest on their own in 50 to 100 years.
In about two years, Fitzgerald plans to collect limber pine seeds around Vallecito to create a seed bank to guard against a potential demise of the species.
Climate change and the possible arrival of white pine blister rust here could affect the species, Fitzgerald said. The blister rust, which circles the trunk with blister-like growths that kill the tree, has been found in Colorado.
Donations to Plant-a-Tree are considered charitable donations by the Internal Revenue Service. Donations can be made by cash, check or credit card at San Juan National Forest offices.
Credit card donations can be made by telephone. Checks, made payable to USDA Forest Service, with Plant-a-Tree in the memo line, can be mailed to Plant-a-Tree, 15 Burnett Court, Durango 81301.
The donor receives a personalized certificate suitable for framing to document the gift.
Further information is available from Fitzgerald at 884-1435 or firstname.lastname@example.com or www.fs.usda.gov/sanjuan.

Skil Cordless Tool Batteries - Models
At Batteries Plus Bulbs, we want to make sure the battery in your Skil tool has the power to finish the project. We offer original brand batteries for popular cordless drills, impact drivers, saws, screw guns and more along with our own line of replacement cordless tool batteries that are built to meet or surpass OEM specifications.
Have a unique, older model with a nonexistent battery solution? Not a problem. Batteries Plus Bulbs specializes in rebuilding older model power tool batteries right in our stores.
Lithium Ion Cordless Tool Batteries
Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are now the primary power source for newer tools. Here are some benefits of using Li-Ion.
- Li-Ion is noticeably lighter in weight and more compact in size. Less weight means less fatigue, especially for those hand-above-the-shoulder jobs.
- Faster Charging. Li-Ion batteries can handle roughly 800-1000 charges and do not need to be discharged before recharge. They can be charged quicker and will hold their charge longer while not in use.
- Li-Ion batteries are more efficient than other chemistries and provide more power, and torque in the same tool.
- A Green solution. Li-Ion batteries contain no toxic chemicals and are fully recyclable.
- If you switch to Li-Ion, be sure your charger is compatible before charging.
We are an industry leader for cordless tool battery recycling. Each of our store locations is a drop-off point for battery recycling. Learn more about our recycling programs for consumers and businesses.
Have more questions? Contact us or visit your nearest store.
Tips to Extend the Life of Your Skil Cordless Tool Battery
- When using cordless tool batteries, it pays to plan ahead.
- Keep your battery properly charged and you can expect a long life.
- Most short runtime issues occur due to battery neglect, not failure.
- If you use your Skil tool infrequently, be sure to charge the battery when you feel a slight decrease in power.
- Draining the battery down to the point where it no longer runs can damage the battery. Periodically charge the battery overnight to achieve optimum runtime and lifespan.
- If you use your Skil tool on a regular basis, we would also recommend a second battery to keep your project moving while you are charging the first one.

After eight years of hard work, the day has finally arrived. Today, September 14, the Haiku project has released its very first alpha release. With the goal of recreating one of the most beloved operating systems in history, the BeOS, they took on no small task, but it seems as if everything is finally starting to come together. Let's talk about the history of the BeOS, where Haiku comes from, and what the Alpha is like.

Small Town Claim to Fame for Center, North Dakota - The Hazel Miner Story.
The Small Town: Center, North Dakota, Population - 571 (2010)
The Claim to Fame: The Story of Hazel Miner
Almost 100 years ago, an early spring blizzard hit North Dakota, leaving more than 30 dead in it's wake, and one sad and tender story about a 15 year old schoolgirl named Hazel Miner. A story that was to be celebrated in words and song for decades to come.
They didn't have early warning radar in 1920, but word got out that a storm was coming and so the school let the children leave early for home. These were the days of horse and buggy so 15 year old Hazel loaded her two younger sibling, 10-year-old brother Emmet and 8-year-old sister Myrdith, into the buggy and headed for home.
Most of you reading this can attest to just how quickly these spring blizzards can move in. The trio was only about half way home when the visibility was suddenly zero and the horse wandered off the road and they lost their way. At some point, as they roamed aimlessly through the open prairie, the buggy tipped over as it caught the edge of a coulee and spilled Hazel and the children into the cold wet snow. Attempts to right the buggy were in vain and Hazel knew that the safest thing to do was stay where they were and wait for help. It was to be a very long wait.
Panic stricken parents and neighbors formed a search party, but as night fell, with the storm still raging, they had to abandon their search until daylight.
Back at the buggy, Hazel huddled with the children as best she could to protect them against the storm, singing songs and telling stories, but the cold and the snow crept in and Hazel was forced to open her coat to spread it out over the children. As the night wore on, the songs grew quieter and the stories less frequent. Sometime, in the middle of a long night, all was quiet.
Early the next morning, the search party set out again. At some point a shout arose from the group and someone pointed to the overturned buggy, half covered by snow. As they arrived at the scene, their worst fears were realized when they saw Hazel's frozen and lifeless body, half buried in the snow and ice, her open coat still spread over the children like a mother bird's wings over her young ones. Suddenly, the sad silence was interrupted by the muffled sounds of a small voice. They pulled Hazel's body away and, much to everyone's surprise, Emmet and Myrdith were still very much alive!
Efforts to save Hazel proved futile, but the children recovered and went on to tell the story of their loving sister and her selfless act for years to come.

When I looked at "The Powell Tribune" on line this morning, I was interested in one of the main front page stories - that of the Powell Library remodel. The old-fashioned '30s-style library (my uneducated guess as to period of architecture) (across the street from the old high school was certainly one of my favorite places to go in Powell. The first visit I remember was in the second grade, when I was often sent to the library during recess time (by myself) to check out three books at a time. My teacher must have been frustrated with me, because I was sent there often, and then required to read the books to myself in class. The habit stayed with me all through my schooling. Louise read "Jane Eyre" and "Gone With the Wind" when I was in the sixth grade, so I would sneak times to read from her books. (Only high school students could check those books out.) Six grade was a discovery year - I could put an open book on my old-fashioned desk seat, and keep track of the lesson at the same time. Reading under the covers with a flashlight was something I could do when Louise stayed overnight with a friend. In high school, I discovered that there were other books than fiction, and my reading life was greatly expanded. When I taught school in the '70's, I looked up some of the books I had read in high school, and found that only one or two students had checked out books like "Henry Esmond" and others of the old classics - and my name was still on the check-out card. The article in the paper mentioned that books that had not been read recently were removed from the shelves. Wish I had been there to claim some of them. The library was always a haven for me. I'm sure that the library is now very modern, with computers, and other up-to-date technology. It will be interesting to visit when we are next in Powell - a few years from now, probably. Take a minute now to go to the Tribune website.

As I read your comments about the library, I could smell the musty books that could only be identified in that place. Getting those old books would be as good as inheriting the books from the Penrose church.

I loved the old library and our trips to town that would include trading one "stack" of books (as in more than one) for another. It would have been fun to go through the cast offs. You are right about the smell. And if we said we would meet friends in front of the library, every one knew exactly where that was. Another fun memory of what seems to have been another life.

Yes Liz, you got out of a lot of work with your nose in a book (or 2 or 3 simultaneously) while the rest of us slaved away. Ida Miller. Looked down her nose at me every time she raised her little pencil with the date stamp as if she didn't trust me to take another precious book from her library. She once caught me on my way back from town and paid me 25 cents to shovel the sidewalk. The Billy Whiskers books were on the shelf near the corner on the south side. I was the only one in first grade with a library card, but that was thanks to Louise who was practicing her elementary special ed skills on me. Mother ordered boxes of books from the Cody library which had a whole lot more books every summer. While I was fooling around and shooting pool, Liz was reading her way through the Powell Library which the taxpayers generously provided for her personal benefit.

For those reading the Powell Tribune we may have found another source of energy. First they are going to tear down the old exhibit hall at the fair grounds. This probably only means something to Dwight and myself. I met my love of the moment in that hall, a cowgirl from Meteetse, but enough about that.
Father was on a tear when Powell built the natatorium, said he'd "never swim there." I believe that he was true to his word even when the church had a swim night there. Can you imagine what he would say about a 2 million dollar out house? I would love to hear the words in his own voice. MMMM... maybe I can hear it, it's just a hoot.
- February 11, 2011 at 3:49 PM
- Ann said...
Steve, you are right about the natatorium, however Dad attended many concerts, my graduation and your graduation, etc., in the better half of that building. It was quite a remarkable facility for little PHS.
- February 11, 2011 at 5:16 PM

How did we get from the library to Steve's love life?
- February 11, 2011 at 7:19 PM
- Steve Blood said...
Obviously the exhibit hall didn't mean as much to Dwight.

We can run the whole blog for weeks with the tidbits from the front page of the Powell Tribune. Initially, I purloined a picture of the new library from the Tribune page, but Dwight saved my bacon by removing it. By the way, Dwight, we paid taxes, too - it was my privilege to use them up by reading lots of books. Everyone had the same opportunity, I think. Steve, does Mary Lynn know about your old light o' love? What a lurid past is revealed.
- February 12, 2011 at 9:22 AM
- Dwight said...
What do you mean I removed a library picture? I never even saw it. As for the exhibit hall, I baby sat my pigs there for two or three fairs and won many ribbons. But I am still puzzled about the complex interrelationships between my pigs, the exhibit hall, Steve's wonder woman from Meeteetse, the library, and the picture which I never saw and know nothing about. Will someone help me out here?
- February 12, 2011 at 1:17 PM
- Dwight said...
And besides that,
- February 12, 2011 at 1:21 PM
- Elizabeth said...
Okay, so how did the picture that I posted disappear? I think that Dwight is really magic, and he just doesn't know it. Now, for the closing shot, the word is so........
- February 12, 2011 at 1:57 PM
- Steve Blood said...
The interrelationship comes from PT stories. Powell's renovations into the new century, i.e. tearing down the exhibit hall and the building of a 2 million dollar outhouse. You always have to throw in a dame to keep interest in the story.
- February 12, 2011 at 2:34 PM
- Judy said...
So while I have obediently been trying to find a photo of the Powell Library that Liz could legally add to this post, you have all been out having fun without said item. Steve, was your escapade during the fair? Dwight, what were you doing in town...probably during lunch hour? What's the expensive outhouse? Don't make me read the PT to find the answers.

- February 13, 2011 at 6:56 AM
- Ann said...
I was so excited when I logged on and saw there were 14 comments. That must mean something really good has stirred some one's memories - or not. At least some people got to go to the fair. I never got to go, so I have no idea what I missed. Did Mother and Dad ever go to the fair?
- February 13, 2011 at 5:57 PM
- Ann said...
PS. I love the pretty pink rose at the top of the blog.
- February 13, 2011 at 5:57 PM
- Judy said...
Yes, yes. But what about Steve's 2 million dollar outhouse? What is he talking about???? Pray do enlighten me.
- February 13, 2011 at 6:40 PM
- Dwight said...
I thought this was about the new library.
- February 13, 2011 at 8:34 PM
- Judy said...
It is ..... and expensive outhouses. And pigs. And Fairs. and what Dwight did during lunch hour during the shcool year. And old books. But mostly about expensive outhouses.
- February 14, 2011 at 12:04 AM
- Steve Blood said...
Perhaps the new library renovation didn't create enough room to read so 2 million dollars of tax money were spent to create a reading room at Homestead Park.
- February 14, 2011 at 2:47 AM
- Elizabeth said...
Go back and read the first page of the online Powell Tribune - you'll learn all about the expensive outhouse, as well as other important tidbits. It's interesting what happens when we don't really have anything to post?????
- February 14, 2011 at 8:35 AM
- Judy said...
To Homestead Park? That is a long way to haul books.
- February 14, 2011 at 8:52 AM
- Dwight said...
What if you have needs when you are in the library? You can see how this is all related.
- February 14, 2011 at 10:43 AM
- Judy said...
Dwight, is that why you hestitate to check out books from the library?
- February 14, 2011 at 12:26 PM
- Dwight said...
Doesn't anyone have anything else to do but camp on this blog for the latest comment?
- February 14, 2011 at 4:08 PM
- Judy said...
You got that right! There are so many unresolved issues that have arisen from this post and comments that it may take awhile to get them all done.
For instance, we have not covered WHY Dwight was coming back from downtown and got a paying job shoveling the snow for library users (Elizabeth) to reach the front door. What was he doing downtown?
- February 15, 2011 at 8:58 AM
- Dwight said...
Downtown was where all the excitement was after 1 1/2 hrs on school bus. Downtown is where I spent study hall time, taking the FFA news to the Powell Tribune. As a result I never learned anything and graduated ignorant. I hated shoveling the library walk.
- February 15, 2011 at 9:51 AM
- Judy said...
To bad we didn't live in town and then you could have shoveled lots of walks instead of clean chicken coops.
Besides that, didn't you ever help shovel a path to the little white house?
- February 15, 2011 at 8:11 PM
- Dwight said...
No. Think about it.
- February 15, 2011 at 9:46 PM
- Judy said...
If you didn't use it, you didn't need a path?
- February 15, 2011 at 10:26 PM
- Dwight said...
- February 16, 2011 at 3:53 PM
- Judy said...
I can't bear for Dwight to have the last word...
- February 16, 2011 at 8:48 PM

it wasn't a word, it was a number

Spike and Theresa Ehrhardt of 4212 West Ely Road, Hannibal, Mo., will be honored for their 50th wedding anniversary with a family dinner hosted by their children and spouses. A special Mass will be held at Holy Family Catholic Church at 5:30 p.m., Aug. 24, celebrated by Father Mike Quinn and Deacon Troy Egbert, where their marriage will be blessed.
Theresa is a daughter of the late Oliver (Buck) and Agnes (Dieker) Wiewel. Mr. Ehrhardt is the son of the late Edward and Stella (Klingele) Ehrhardt.
They were married in Quincy, Ill., at the St. Boniface Catholic Church on Aug. 24, 1963, by the Rev. Monsignor Peter Masterson. Their attendants were Phyllis Metzger, maid of honor, sister of the bride; Roger Boone, best man, brother-in-law of the groom; bridesmaids, Betty McCoy, sister of the bride, and Rita Lentz and Rosalyn Boone, sisters of the groom.
Groomsmen were Floyd Wiewel and Dale Wiewel, brothers of the bride, and Roy Hummelshiem, friend of the groom. Ushers were Dick, Larry, Eddie and Mike Wiewel, brothers of the bride.
Spike was manager of the Sandy's Drive In on 12th and Jefferson and Theresa worked at Moorman Manufacturing Company. After living in Quincy for a year, Spike opened the Sandy's in Hannibal, Missouri, in May 1965, and they moved to Hannibal with their first son Steve, who was 5 months old. Later, after opening two more stores in Hannibal and several others in the surrounding cities, in 1997 he sold 60 stores which had been converted to Hardee's in 1972, back to the company. In 1988, he opened his first motel, a Super 8 in Macon, Missouri. Presently Spike along with his sons and son-in-law operate two Hardee's and 20 hotels in Illinois and Missouri under the name Ehrhardt Properties. Spike, Steve and partner Jeff Hartmann operate five hotels in Oklahoma under the name of SJS Hospitality. Spike celebrated 50 years of being in the restaurant business in 2010. He has always been very active in the Hannibal community, serving on the F&M Bank board, Kiwanis Club and Knights of Columbus. He has attended and recruited men to go on the White House Retreat in St. Louis every year for the last 45 years.
They are parents of seven children, Steve (Donna) Ehrhardt, Lebanon; Stan (Heather) Ehrhardt, Moberly; Scott (Heather) Ehrhardt, Hannibal; Shawn (Julie) Ehrhardt, Hannibal; Sherri (Kevin) Wiley, Hannibal; Sarah (Christopher) Johnson, Chicago, Ill.; and Stacey (Tom) Koenigsfeld, Cincinnati, Ohio.
They are blessed with 10 (plus two coming this fall) grandchildren, three stepgrandchildren and five stepgreat-grandchildren.
Theresa works part time at Ehrhardt Properties. She is a member of the CCW Ladies Organization at Holy Family. She has a Bible study that meets at her home every Wednesday morning. She enjoys cards, flowers and watching her grandchildren.
They are members of Holy Family Catholic Church and the Cursillo movement in Quincy. They enjoy spending time with their grandchildren and attending their sports activities. They enjoy being with their friends, playing cards. They belong to two different card groups, bridge and euchre.
The couple met at Sandy's Drive In in Quincy (30th and Broadway) where Spike was employed.

Let yourself be absorbed by the stories brought to life by the unique resources of the black light theatre: the masterful use of visual effects, the tricks of contrast between light and dark, the creative performances of the actors and dancers, all set to an original music score.
Two shows are currently staged at the All Colours Theatre, both are amongst the most popular black light theatre productions in Prague: Faust and the Colour Dreams of Dr. Frankenstein.
With Faust, allow yourself to be drawn into a timeless tale of man's quest for knowledge, power and immortality, for which he ultimately pays a high price.
In the Colour Dreams of Dr. Frankenstein, the original tale of creating an artificial human is cleverly extended to include other fictional characters from the 19th century, like Sherlock Holmes, Dracula and the Invisible Man, as the audience is transported on a tour through Europe.
As part of your visit and included in your ticket, you will be invited to look round The Gallery on the first floor, to discover some of the techniques employed in the show - you may be surprised!
In black light theatre the story is recounted visually, with little or no spoken words. This makes the shows ideal for an international audience, of both adults and children, including young children.
The All Colours Theatre is located in between the Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square, a mere two minutes walk from both.
Our long standing relationship with the All Colours Theatre ensures that by booking through Prague Experience you are guaranteed the best seats available.

Last week, information about the Surface RT tablet's usable space (or lack of it) was brought to the public's attention through the FAQ published to Microsoft's website. Contained in the page are two controversial pieces of information. First is the gap between advertised storage space and actual space available to the user. Second – and most alarming – is the amount of space occupied by the Windows RT operating system, Office apps, and recovery sector. To further explore both issues we decided to compare the logistics of Microsoft's Surface RT to its contemporaries, the Nexus 7 from Google and Apple's iPad.
Advertised storage versus usable storage
Let's start with the difference between perceived storage size and actual usable storage. Though the advertised disk space for the two versions of Surface RT is 32GB and 64GB, respectively, the formatted space is a little less. In the case of the 32GB version, the actual disk space is closer to 29GB. Microsoft explains this disparity in storage size in the FAQ:
"The advertised local disk size is shown using the decimal system, while Windows displays the disk size using the binary system. As a result, 1 GB (in decimal) appears as about 0.93 GB (in binary). The storage capacity is the same, it's just shown differently depending on the how you measure a GB (decimal or binary)."
This also means the 64GB Surface RT tablet actually clocks in at 58GB. However, this difference in quoted storage and actual storage isn't exclusive to Microsoft products. Apple's mobile devices like the iPad have similar differences. Apple offers this disclaimer on its iPad product page, "1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less."
As you may have guessed already, Android devices are not exempt from this either. The purchase page for Google's Nexus 7 states that "actual formatted capacity will be less." Neither Google nor Apple delve into the details behind this with the same depth as Microsoft — something the company should be respected for — but it's worth noting that all three companies do acknowledge the gaps.
Space reserved for operating systems
Then there is the Surface RT's rather large chunk of storage spoken for by RT and Office. The official numbers, as posted by Microsoft, have 5GB used for recovery tools and 8GB reserved for Office applications and Windows RT. Together that's a total of 13GB out of the box. This leaves only 16GB for user storage, since the true capacity of a 32GB Surface tablet is actually 29GB — a stipulation we'll get to later.
It's true that the Surface RT offers more functionality and potential for productivity than a tablet running iOS or Android, but those operating systems are still incredibly svelte in contrast. For instance, the iPad has less than 3GB taken up by iOS out of the box. Android takes up roughly the same amount of space. This means that buying an iOS or Android device with 32GB of storage translates to approximately 29GB of free space.
It does not really matter that you can install up to 64GB of additional storage to the Surface via microSD or attach an external hard drive to offload large files. It may make the pill easier to swallow, but it's not a replacement for saving files to the device's built-in solid state drive. Both iOS and Android are able to pack system files into extremely small packages and Microsoft needs to make Windows RT competitive in that respect. It might be a lot to ask, especially with the added functionality like file hierarchies and support for hundreds of USB peripherals, but Microsoft could start by cutting ties to the nearly useless desktop environment.
Windows RT's size is anything but typical
Now that we have a more complete picture of how storage space is handled by each of technology's giants, it's hard to feel anything but confusion over Microsoft's humongous Windows RT installation. Compared to iOS and Android's relatively pint-sized operating systems, Windows RT and Office consuming almost half of the total storage on the Surface tablet is a big problem.
It's true that the Surface's 32GB version – actually closer to 16GB – is priced identically to the 16GB iPad with Wi-Fi, but it still feels wrong to mislead customers in that way. If approximately 16GB is available for user storage then that should be the number advertised. Our hope is that Microsoft can drastically trim down Windows RT or Office (or both) through further optimization and future updates. Otherwise, it may be time to change the official marketing to reflect actual facts.

While Vitamin World's legal fight to get its recently demolished Harmon Cove Outlet Center location restored has been granted a trial, an executive at the firm that owns the property is confident the retailer won't win the case.
"Any rational retailer wouldn't want to remain in that mall, so for what reason, other than extortion, would they want to go to court?" said Gus Milano, executive vice president for finance and leasing at Hartz Mountain Industries. "Clearly, the judge is not going to require us to reopen a mall where there are no tenants, and I think the judge will realize this is just extortion and what they're asking is unreasonable."
According to Milano, Hartz Mountain converted the former industrial property to an approximately 150,000-square-foot shopping center 25 years ago. While the property once held 40 retail tenants at peak occupancy, Milano said only 10 percent of the mall was occupied as of Sept. 1, noting "sales have been eroding over the last few years, and tenants were coming to us to get out of their leases."
"Even if there were a few thousand square feet of tenants still in the mall, we're talking about a situation where we couldn't even pay a retailer to move back in there," Milano said. "We offered to relocate Vitamin World at our expense, with no additional lease terms or rent, to clearly much better retail locations than one that has become obsolete — and those offers are still on the table."
But Loryn P. Riggiola, an attorney at Newark-based Sills, Cummis & Gross P.C. who is representing Vitamin World, said, "Given the way the landlords have acted, entering into another lease with them may not be the best business decision."
"Hartz made it so Vitamin World didn't know it would get kicked out of the mall, and then in the very interim, they started to demolish the building and did whatever they could do to make sure it would be too expensive to put the building back into a habitable state," Riggiola said. "The Appellate Division has made it clear a potential remedy for us is to force them to repair the building and provide re-entry, given their egregious conduct, and that's a remedy we're going to pursue."
But Milano said "even if judge rules that they can move back in, they wouldn't do it, because no one would."
"It's preposterous to believe they want to move back into a vacant mall," Milano said. "If they do succeed in the case, I would say, 'Be careful what you wish for,' because I don't think anyone would go into an empty mall to visit a 900-square-foot store."
On Nov. 14, Vitamin World was granted an extension on the original stay from Hudson County Superior Court that will stop demolition work on the property indefinitely. The case has been remanded to a trial court, though a date has not yet been set.

Many spectators watching the Boston Marathon on Monday said the extra security was noticeable and, although it made them feel safer, it changed the feeling of the yearly race.
In Hopkinton, the new security measures were readily apparent, as hundreds of local and state police and federal agents stood on streets, on rooftops, and in back alleys.
"(I�ve seen) ATF, Secret Service, every cop in the state, FBI, NYPD K-9," said Claudia Toussaint, who was watching the race a few hundred yards from her home on Hayden Rowe Street. "I was blown away."
There was also a confusing maze of barricades lining the course that, in some spectators� opinions, made for a frustrating time trying to get around.
"It was just weird," said Hopkinton resident Chrissy Stone, who was watching from atop a stonewall behind one of the fences. "It�s upsetting to the kids � we just want to watch. You can�t go anywhere."
Most people were patient, however, when it came to getting through the numerous checkpoints set up around the starting line area and even at the spectator parking lot at Hopkinton State Park.
The heavy police presence didn�t seem to bother the runners, although Phil Dervan, an Englishman now living in Stratham, N.H., noted it was a much different scene from the last two Boston Marathons he ran.
"There�s a lot more security, for sure," the 52-year-old said. "I haven�t seen it like this before. You�d see police, state police, but you didn�t see Army in combat gear."
On Boylston Street in Boston, bomb-sniffing dogs patrolled the area, while other officers watched from buildings near the finish line. Siobhan Haskins, 29, a Boston Athletic Association race marshal, said there were more spectators this year but it appeared everyone understood the need and was OK with the extra security.
"People are very easy going," she said. "They�re happy to come back."
Newtownville resident Jack Porter, who has watched the Marathon for 35 years in Newton, was upset with the heightened security.
"They�re taking the fun away," he said. "You can�t get close enough to the runners with these barriers and there are no more bandits. It�s a people�s marathon and all of this stuff takes the joy out of it. I hope next year they tone it down. The state government and the mayor, they�re going overboard."
Others said the security made them feel safe about attending race.
"I definitely feel well-protected," said Gayle Sprague of Westborough, who was watching the runners in Natick. "I�m not concerned something is going to happen."
As Blackhawk helicopters flew over Rte. 135 just after the elite wheelchair racers passed through Natick, Framingham�s Norma Kramer said she was comforted by them being there.
"The flyover just now and the police presence made me feel really good," said Kramer. "It�s very secure."
In Framingham, Kansas City resident Caleb Champ said he appreciated a Framingham Police officer on bicycle patrol coming by to inspect his backpack.
"I figured it was coming so I welcome this and the friendliness of it," Champ said.
Law enforcement officials said the race went smoothly
Framingham Deputy Police Chief Ron Brandolini said there were "just minor issues" during the race, from a few medical calls to suspicious people who checked out OK.
Natick Police Chief James Hicks said the crowds were larger than last year, but there were no serious incidents. He said police assisted on a couple of medical calls and helped reunite a young child with his family, but Hicks said such calls are normal with large crowds.
Hopkinton Police Chief Edward Lee, who was at the start line, said he was happy how things went.
"Things went off without a hitch," he said. "It was a great day. A lot of people had a good time out here. People got the message as far as prohibited items. We had no issues at any security checkpoints."
Along with local police departments, state police and the National Guard, officers from other states assisted along the Boston Marathon course. There were officers from Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and New York assisting with security.
As the winners approached, helicopters circled overhead and what appeared to be law enforcement could be seen on the top of nearby buildings.
Daily News Staff writers Lindsay Corcoran, Brian Benson, John Phelps, Zach Comeau, Danielle Ameden, Jeff Malachoski, James Morrison, Trevor Jones, Scott O�Connell and Brad Petrishen contributed to this report.
Security evident, but welcome along route
Many spectators watching the Boston Marathon on Monday said the extra security was noticeable and, although it made them feel safer, it changed the feeling of the yearly race.

Wish List
I often have friends and family members asking me what I would like for my birthday or other gift giving holiday. While I may thought of more than a dozen things I would like months before the special day comes around, it seems whenever I am asked I draw a complete blank. Now when I think of things that would be a great gift (a Pro account for Remember the Milk for example) I add it to my "Wish List" list on RTM, so I can be prepared with a great gift idea the moment I am asked!

We had a day off work today and the weather was pretty good so we decided to have a trip to Cowling village, the home of my Dawson ancestors. You could have an interesting debate as to whether Cowling is in North or West Yorkshire. The village falls within North Yorkshire County Council but has a West Yorkshire post code. I prefer to think of it as in West Yorkshire.
We spent a good couple of hours wandering round taking lots of photographs. I especially wanted to look for the locations in the postcards I purchased yesterday. We had another search in St Andrew's Methodist Church graveyard and took some more pictures which will appear in future Tombstone Tuesday posts. I am really disappointed that I haven't been able to locate any Dawson's in the graveyard – it remains a mystery to me where they are buried.
This postcard is unused. There is no publisher name or date. I am guessing that the date is sometime in the 1960's judging by the style of the vehicle in the image. The scene shows a vehicle leaving Gill Lane and joining the main road that runs through the village – Keighley / Colne Road (A6068).
We took this photograph today from roughly the same place as the postcard. We're standing in Hartley Memorial Field – a bit nearer the railings because there are a few trees blocking the view further back. As you can see the first two buildings on the front left of the postcard are not there anymore. The side wall of taller property has now been painted white.

McKinley's assassination is less notable than the Vice President who took over 112 years ago when he died.
It's funny how wide our knowledge gap can become one similar events.
There is nothing we don't know about Abraham Lincoln's assassination. We are still making movies and writing books about this President who ended slavery and led the country through the Civil War. That interest is justified.
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been the topic of more than a few books, movies and investigative journalism. He was a young President. And, of course, his murder occurred in the age of television. That meant that everyone in America at the time and everyone born since that day has seen the actual assassination happen.
But does anyone even remember that two presidents who were killed in between those two famous events?
James A. Garfield was killed by Charles J. Guiteau, who had hoped for a political office and didn't receive one. Garfield had a long history of public service in the military and Congress but his Presidency lasted only 200 days.
The other assassination was completed on Sept. 14, 1901.
William McKinley was leading the country and continuing the trend of a weakening presidency. McKinley was t a Pan-Am Exhibition reception in Buffalo, NY when a 28-year old anarchist named Leon Czolgosz appeared to be shaking hands with McKinley, but he had a gun hidden under a handkerchief and got off two shots before he could be stopped.
One bullet did little damage. The second bullet entered McKinley's abdomen. In 2013, he would probably have been treated and released in a couple of days. In 1901, he spent a week in a hospital where he contracted gangrene and died on Sept. 14.
His Vice President was Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt.
That bullet made Roosevelt President and forever changed American history.
No one would have ever considered McKinley for Mount Rushmore but Roosevelt is there.
It's funny, Roosevelt's life was a full of contradiction and proof that perception is reality. He was a blueblood from New York City. He was a sickly and hyper child.
He served in New York's State Legislature for years as a young man. But after his wife and mother died on the same day in the same house and his political career took a turn for the worst, Roosevelt "became" a cowboy and move to a ranch he had purchased in North Dakota when he had visited on a buffalo hunt.
He was a much of a cowboy as those lawyers and investment bankers that sit in the front row of country music concerts and pretend to talk with a southern twang for a couple of hours after the music stops.
In fact, his life as a frontiersman was short-lived, but well publicized. He spent a lot of his "ranching" time writing. He wrote articles for magazine and published three books about life in the west on a ranch.
A few years later, he was back east after a cold winter wiped out his cattle herd. Despite being born and raised there, Roosevelt ran for mayor of NYC as a cowboy from the Dakotas. He placed third.
After remarrying Roosevelt, a Lt. Colonel in the US Army famously led his Texas Rough Riders in the Battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba and his persona grew.
So the blueblooded cowboy military hero came back home and won the office of Governor of New York in 1898. That position and reputation made him a desirable candidate to be a running mate for McKinley.
That plus Roosevelt's work to tear down New York's political machine. His fellow Republicans in New York were happy to see him go on to bigger and better things with McKinley so they could get back to business as usual.
The fateful bullet and woeful medical care McKinley received after being shot made Roosevelt President.
The work he did in office allowed him to win election for a second term.
After his Presidency ended, Roosevelt led many African and South American expeditions where he and his friends shot and killed thousands of big game animals to be stuffed in museums in New York City.
After that phase ended, he formed the fittingly named Bull Moose Party and ran for President again. During that campaign, Roosevelt almost succumbed to a bullet himself. Thankfully for him, a steel eyeglass case and 50-page speech absorbed most of the force of the bullet. Instead of seeking treatment, Roosevelt gave his speech with blood seeping through his shirt.
Woodrow Wilson won the election in 1912 with Roosevelt in second and incumbent William Howard Taft in a distant third.
After his failed Presidential race, Roosevelt continued his work supporting troops in WWI and even playing an instrumental role in the creation of the Boy Scouts. He also continued his expeditions and big game hunting.
In the case of Lincoln and Kennedy, Presidents who were considered great were taken away from America. But McKinley's assassination is less notable than the Vice President who took over 112 years ago when he died.

The mailroom received three emails / comments from the "Exploring Gedcom" article.
Tamura Jones (Modern Software Experience), Louis Kessler (BeholdGenealogy.com), and Stan Mitchell (GenApps.net / ezGED Viewer).
Good solid GEDCOM experts all (unlike this jester who is only a journeyman apprentice to these fine men) and as you can see they are also bloggers themselves.
Here's my summation:
WHITESPACE– All three disputed the whitespace proposal. Even though it was an optional feature accessed via on/off check-box — I yield to what I see as rising tide that I cannot swim against. I assume that XML will also be treated as badly by all for EXACTLY the same reasons — too verbose and makes for a poor data transfer mechanism because of the bloat.
- UNICODE – Tamura pointed out that it was in the 5.5.1 standard. I said maybe so, but hardly implemented, needs to be mandatory. I also hate the two-hexabyte binary debris that makes an otherwise TEXT file into a partial binary file. Tamura points out that this byte-order indicator is commonly hidden (I am old school and use vi — nothing hidden) by PC editors. Besides, the HEAD tag CHAR sub-tag could be used to determine character set and keep file textual. Tamura said that would be a catch-22 (since you do not know the files encoding). Tamura points out that everyone does as I suppose and use ASCII (or UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE) to determine encoding. Documentation needs to be updated too. Really almost no support for generating UNICODE chars in app — should be required, otherwise data entry is limited to clever users (i.e. tech-types or their friends).
DATES– nobody liked DATES (or NAMES) as a zero level. I can live without dates, as I can always create a dimension with every possible date to slice & dice my genealogy facts. Names was also not part of my vision, other than I want a bunch of AKA names for an INDI.
- LOCN – Everyone agreed, the PLAC tag did provide a minimalist capability. 2/3 saw a good reason to have LOCN at the zero level, as I proposed. Let's hope this feature gets in. We may need to keep PLAC tag for backwards compatibility until all gedcoms have been converted.
- EVENTS as a zero level tag seemed to interest people, as MULTI-PERSON events (aka EVENT_TYPE_FAMILY) is NOT adequately dealt with in GEDCOM 5.5.1. I also think people want to standardize these events as much as possible and leave open the ability for a user to add their own events. EVENTS was also related to GROUPS which people seem to want in some fashion. The need to analyze a social network needs to have some better GROUP/EVENT/ROLE visibility that the current standard provides. I think we really we need EVENT and EVENT_TYPE tags to keep from adding a new GEDCOM tag every time someone says we need a new event (BIRT | CHR | BAPM | BARM | BASM | BLES | SLGC). All TYPE tags should be from a standard list that a user can add to. The list should be allowed to be localized (into a native langauge). This keeps parsing to a minimal while allowing for expansion. OLD tags are kept for backwards compatibility until a gedcom is upgraded to a later version. I think we also need a ROLE_TYPE to replace ROLE_IN_EVENT and add more standard roles, (i.e. GodMother, GodFather, Witness, Neighbor, MidWife, Rabbi, Brother, Sister, Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, Border, etc.) and this should also be localized and user upgradeable. Keep EVENT_TYPE_FAMILY and EVENT_TYPE_INDIVIDUAL for backwards compatibility.
- DOCUMENTS (deferred) – The case was not made nor was the concept adequately explained. To Stanczyk this is related to multimedia and is for making it possible to locate all documents of a certain type (i.e. Declaration of Intent) with its date and location and a locator to the multimedia representation and pull these documents out in their own right regardless of the individual or family or group.
- GROUPS (deferred) – Some interest in defining a non-family group (ex. military unit, college fraternity/sororiety, religious society, etc.). These groups would be interesting in their own right to study. At RootsTech 2012, this seemed to be a novel idea that had a positive feel to the audience.
GROUPS is not intended for a non-traditional family unit which needs some thought and design in this Modern Family World.
Tamura chided me that many of my "wants" are a part of an offshoot of GEDCOM called GEDCOM 5.5EL (Extended Location GEDCOM derived from version 5.5). The only difference is I want to get rid of the need for _LOC (a custom tag under GEDCOM definition) and use LOCN instead. Also I would want their undefined tag called NAMC (possibly renamed NAMA for NAMe Alias or NAMe Altertnate) be 0:M; meaning that you can have zero, one or many alternate/alias names for this LOCN (or INDI why not?).
Also the NAMC (or NAMA) should have a subtype FONE and FONETYPE (soundex, DM, Bieder-Morse, etc.) to aid in advanced searches or Google searches. But this is the argument for NAMES at zero level. The last names are usually where the soundex/phonetic matching need to be stored. We do not need to repeat this data for each individual (INDI) just for each unique last name or alternate name. These things get created in Surname Index pages – how much easier if the NAMES (re surnames and alternate surname) had a zero level with the FONE, FONETYPE and the INDI had an XREF pointing to each NAME/NAME ALTERNATE s/he had used during their life. One might even hope that the zero level name had an XREF to each INDI too. If I were the Data Architect for GEDCOM, I have a zero level NAMES (for SURNAMES) and their soundex/phonetic codes, plus XREFs back and forth to INDI.
I need to cut this response short, but a great thanks to all who read the article and the above three for improving my thoughts by their comments/emails.
P.S. – If you follow the GEDCM 5.5EL link, you will notice they show their gedcom indented and then go on to say about the whitespace:
" improves readability … should (and will) not be performed at real Gedcom-output."
My sentiments exactly. Sometimes you just need to show the gedcom (and indentation improves the presentation and understanding). I too never intended it to be processed into the gedcom output/exported to a file for transport (just for my own personal examination or writing purposes). However, I have capitulated on whitespace — so please no more email on whitespace and bloat.

$box = @imageTTFBbox($size,0,$font,$text);
$width = abs($box[4] - $box[0]);
$height = abs($box[5] - $box[1]);
Then to center your text at ($x,$y) position the code should be like that:
$x -= $width/2;
$y += $heigth/2;
this because (0,0) page origin is topleft page corner and (0,0) text origin is lower-left readable text corner.
Hope this help.
