Albert J. Ellis receives $2 million grant
Albert J. Ellis Airport's terminal area redevelopment now has $2 million in state funds to help it along.
The N.C. Department of Transportation announced Tuesday that the N.C. Division of Aviation awarded $2 million in State Aid to Airports funds to Albert J. Ellis Airport in Richlands for terminal redevelopment, including construction of general and commercial service terminals.
Airport Director Chris White said the funds will be used in the new passenger terminal, in air field pavements and the general aviation terminal facility, which is currently in design.
"We're very pleased. This is more money than the DOT has given us in a long time for airport development projects," White said.
The State Aid to Airports Program is NCDOT's basic airport aid program, which provides funds for planning, acquiring, constructing or improving publicly owned or controlled airports, and to authorize related programs of aviation safety, promotions and long-range planning, according to the NCDOT.
According to White, the new terminal building is still on track to open during the late summer or early fall of 2015.
On Wednesday, the replacement hangar building had its final inspection. White expects to receive the certificate of occupancy today.
Once the new hangar building is occupied, the former facility will be demolished. The new terminal is set to be built where current hangar now sits, White said.
Demolition is set to begin March 24.
Work on parts of the new terminal not impacted by the old hangar are already underway, including the mechanical building, White said.
"They'll be able to get the rest of the site to start on the terminal building once the t-hangar is torn down," he said.
The airport is set to spend $43.9 million on construction at the airport. Of that, $28.6 million comes from federal funds while $13.3 million comes from locally generated funds, including airport revenue and $8.5 million the county borrowed from the project, according to White. The $2 million state grant will also now be included in the budget.
White said several local contractors are involved in the project, including Humphrey Mechanical, ACE Electric and DH Griffin while Grants Creek is doing the landscaping.
The Michael J. Smith Field in Beaufort also received funds through the program.
The field received $180,000 in State Aid to Airports funds for the design and bid of a full parallel taxiway, which is a paved area that will allow aircraft to travel between the parking area or hangars and the runway without affecting the landing or departure of another aircraft, according to information from N.C. Department of Transportation.

I don't know if the Intel devs are still reading this thread, but the main reason why I have been paying the premium for Intel products so far has been power efficiency. I can justify the increased cost of Intel over AMD knowing that, in the long run, the power savings from lower idle power usage and more efficient processing under load will more than pay for the premium Intel chip. Viewed in this way, I pay less to own better performing Intel chips over their AMD counterparts.
I am anxiously awaiting the release of Ivy Bridge and its newer, more efficient 3D transistors. I'm currently using a Nelahem i5-750.
Most of my system load comes from two applications: Firefox and VLC. The other things I use (Thunderbird, Geany, MonoDevelop) don't put nearly the strain on the system that graphics-heavy site browsing and HD video playback do. My current desktop isn't slow, but I can notice the heat and the fan speed when it is under load.
My upcoming Ivy Bridge system may be the first system I build without a discrete graphics card. Integrated GPU performance has increased over the years to levels where normal desktop usage is no longer hindered by onboard graphics. Gaming rigs will still see a benefit from discrete graphics cards, however the cost and power consumption will no longer be worthwhile for non-gaming use.
Top performing drivers are so critical to this goal. Using the hardware acceleration to the fullest for everything from the desktop environment to web browsing to video decoding keeps the load off of the CPU so it may remain in a lower power state.
I hope the days of Linux video drivers being second-class citizens of the driver world are finally over. It's also a bit neat to think that a team of driver developers can do so much to reduce power consumption. Hopefully these software improvements will assist in reducing the need for the construction of new power plants.
If the DE, Firefox, and VLC can all make full use of the Ivy Bridge GPU capabilities then I will be a satisfied customer.
Tight integration from the app down to the hardware is essential.
I can't wait for my apps to work well together with the drivers, not in spite of it.
I'm not sure if this second bit of feedback is too off topic, but I don't know where else I might find Intel developers in a feedback-soliciting mood. Has Intel released details of the specific functioning of the Bull Mountain RNG in the upcoming Ivy Bridge chips? Will this be a true cryptographically-secure RNG or just a high-speed PRNG implemented in hardware? If it is the real deal, then how will it be accessed? Will each app need to be coded to make the required hardware calls, or will the kernel poll the entropy pool and keep it topped up with hardware sourced bits as necessary?
I'm looking forward to this feature even more in light of the recent attacks against certificates generated with crappy entropy sources. True hardware random number generation should have been on die as soon as the vitally needed AES-NI instruction set was implemented. It's good to finally see more attention paid to security by hardware manufacturers.
Most people might not care, but I consider both of these killer features because I use full disk encryption on all my machines. Disk writes to my SSD array are currently CPU bound because of the full disk encryption. I also make heavy use of VPNs for work, OpenPGP for my email, and AES for large backups, With a heavy data volume through user content and disk writes, I am looking forward to the efficiency improvements from a hardware implementation of AES. I hope the RNG will also be up to the task.
No announcement yet.

Only someone with old hardware? You might as well say, anyone who doesn't own a new computer. Stop there.
I've seen the changelogs at kernel newbies, I've seen the articles on this website. Only "someone who isn't discerning enough to know better", upgrades just because of a version number. That's just blind faith.
What is exactly is this huge advantage? Some incomplete filesystem? Broken ACPI? Lower FPS average? Is that why people should upgrade? Even Linus himself, has doubts about the newer kernels. Notice how everything is on a support/fix/break cycle?
I have a theory and feel free to prove me wrong. Desktop users, don't need any kernel newer than 2.6.33.
Give me something practical. Really practical. Ext4 scaling to 48 cpus is nice, for example. Personally I'd rather have better/faster graphics. But USB audio support? pffft. That's weak. Weaker than weak. Whatever.

No. AMD has just dropped all support for those chips, on both Windows and Linux. This is not related to r300g - you don't even have r300g on Windows. The r300g is maintained by the Mesa people, not by the Catalyst crew.
R300 support isn't just complete.
From Wikipedia
"ArtX paved the way for the development of ATI's R300 graphics processor (Radeon 9700) released in 2002 which formed the basis of ATI's consumer and professional products for three years afterward."
Dolphin, a completely separate emulation project, can run damn near %90 of all gamecube games. The flipper chipset is nearly the same as the R300.
Of all the graphics chipsets there are open source drivers for, r300 is the closest to matching quality with the proprietary drivers. All of this, with no cease and desist letters? Support from people that *just happen* to know what they're doing? AMD hasn't dropped support for sht. They just don't want your phone calls.

There is one important difference in support for old cards between AMD and nVidia: AMD does not update the old drivers (pre R600) for newer OS'es like Windows 7 or modern Linux distros. nVidia releases those updates for many legacy cards.

I have question, too!
Why there is asimetrical support for DX and OGL in Win? DX11 should mean in theory that OGL 4 is possible O_o.
Does it mean troubles for Linux drivers (that you will not reach DX feature parity in form of OGL 4?).

Some persons are a bit uncertain of the linkages between the martial arts, self-defence and the legislation. College students may opt to study a further sciences, people and societies, or languages course, as an alternative of a course in the arts. Determine whether or not you're going to begin your own hybrid kind or train a single conventional martial artwork? The majority of the practitioners in the movie trade today were not even initially artists. However, science does not believe in something aside from physique as it considers even the mind as the a part of the physique (mind) and explains the thoughts when it comes to bio-chemical compounds.
In at this time's uncertain society, skilled martial arts training teaches you easy methods to defend your self do you have to be attacked or be under imminent menace of such. Our purpose is all the time to create tasks which are adaptable to the the wants of particular person communities; and to catalyze relationships and mechanisms that deliver artists and communities together, and have lasting affect.
In trendy utilization, architecture is the artwork and self-discipline of creating, or inferring an implied or apparent plan of, a complex object or system The term can be used to connote the implied structure of summary things equivalent to music or mathematics , the obvious structure of pure things, equivalent to geological formations or the structure of biological cells , or explicitly planned architectures of human-made issues akin to software program , computer systems , enterprises , and databases , along with buildings.
Ten years after Cuyahoga Arts & Culture (CAC) made its first grant, the general public company based in Cleveland, Ohio has invested $158 million in 350 arts and culture nonprofits and funded greater than one hundred sixty individual artists in Northeast Ohio, making CAC the most important funder of arts and tradition in the region. Treat your coaching in fight martial arts as a personal journey and be firm in your resolve to master your chosen type.
We do that by creating easy, sensible solutions and techniques to assist artists. Financial Value: The arts are equally a really profitable enterprise for severe-minded artists. If the movies or the fiction are devoid of logic, people can never accept it. Nevertheless, the artist is under no obligation to present logic to what he says or does nor to offer proof for it.

Barnesville area reaping benefits
BARNESVILLE — The Barnesville area is reaping the benefits of oil and gas exploration. The financial gains go beyond money received from the lease of land and accompanying royalties.
The Village of Barnesville signed a lease with Antero Resources in September for 1,047 acres of village-owned property outside of the village limits at a rate of $5,700 an acre plus 20 percent royalties, and earlier this month signed a lease for an additional 85.6805 acre of village-owned land within village limits. The first lease will earn the village a total of $6 million and the second an additional $488,378.85. Village Administrator Roger Deal said lease money from the park, cemeteries and water plants will be going to those departments. "This will greatly help funding for the park and cemetery improvements and maintenance," Deal said.
Deal said the village has received approximately $5 million to date with a million and a half plus still due the village on the initial bonus, with millions in royalties expected over the next 10 to 20 years.
The Belmont County Regional Airport Authority is actively pursuing a lease of the 63 acres of airport property. Deal said this could gain the airport $360,000 plus bonus and future royalties. The funds, which will be controlled by the BCRAA, could be used to improve the fuel delivery system ,and repair or possibly replace the dilapidated hangars.
Lease money from the Watt Center property will go to land and buildings.
Barnesville Hospital also signed a lease for their property. Hospital CEO David Phillips said the hospital board has not yet met to determine how that money might be used.
Turner, as leasing agent for Antero, recently held the last of a series of lease signing events for village property owners at the Barnesville Middle School and Barnesville Library Annex. They offered the same lease and royalty rates the village received, with the exception that they are for surface rights only.
Barnesville Mayor Ron Bischof said the signing process was streamlined by Turner and usually took approximately 15 minutes. He said the company has also been good about helping the home bound and sending paperwork out to those own property in the village but do not live here.
Antero has been actively leasing in Belmont, Guernsey, Monroe, and Noble Counties over the past 15 months. They have drilled five wells in the area and has leased over 80,000 acres. Antero currently has two rigs working in southern Ohio.
Bischof said he thinks area businesses, including restaurants are beginning to feel the economic impact of the lease activity and the oil and gas workers.
"Things are beginning to change in the village," Bischof said.
Leasing of mineral rights is just one of the areas from which the village is benefiting financially.
Antero plans to drill two 25-foot well pads, one above Slope Creek and one west of town on State Route 147.
Gulfport laid a water line and took water from Slope Creek to a well in Somerset Township. The village received approximately $100,000 in water sales for this event.
"Many of the gas and oil exploration companies would now rather pipe the water than haul it, as it reduces the trucking costs and spares the need for road repairs," Deal said. "Keep in mind that the average frack job would require 7,000 truck loads of water over a seven day period. Imagine adding 1,000 trucks per day with all that weight on any road surface. They make a round trip, so that would be 2,000 passes per day. Pumping the water would also be much faster than waiting for all these trucks."
The village is considering installing a debit-card operated water dispenser at the water lines to the Eastern Ohio Industrial Park on State Route 800. Pre-paid cards could also be sold to water customers.
Deal said the industrial park waterline will hold approximately 70,000 plus gallons of water.
"Selling treated water from that line will help to keep the water fresh in the line so, we would like to set up a bulk water fill station to service not only the gas and oil industry but also other customers," he said.
Deal said the Village of Fairview hauls water from Barnesville's current station in town on almost a daily basis. Fairview and numerous other customers who come in from the north to buy bulk water from the village could pull from this station.
On the other side of village limits, two businesses catering to the industry, Force Incorporated and Chem Rock Technologies, LLC, have set up shop in the newly created JEDD II on SR 147, bringing with them employees and local business. Owners and employees of the companies, as well as local officials, have been appointed to an advisory board for the JEDD II which recently began meeting.
Companies have also donated and supported community projects in the area.
Turner Oil and Gas Properties also recently donated $1,000 to the Barnesville Area Reforestation Kommittee for their 10th annual tree planting. The planting is set for Saturday, April 13, 10 a.m. at Barnesville Memorial Park. This year, rather than plant saplings, BARK is planting approximately 15 large trees throughout the park to replace those lost to storms and disease.
Bischof said Boone Ellis of Turner came through with the donation within minutes of being contacted.
"It was amazing and quite generous," Bischof said of the donation.
Bischof said Turner has been impressed with how they have been received in the village. At the suggestion of Bischof, students in the culinary arts program at Barnesville High School provided food for Turner employees during their lease signing events in the village. Turner reportedly made a donation to the program for their annual school trip.

nRF52 Accurate Stepper Motor Driver
Note: For a more general look at Stepper Motors, see the Stepper Motor page.
This module allows accurate control of Stepper motors drivers using nRF52's built-it hardware capabilities. Stepper motor drivers are chips that connect to your stepper motor and provide a simple digital interface for precise position control. Commonly available drivers include A4988, DRV8825, DRV8834, etc. They can be found inside 3D Printers, CNC machines, etc.
Stepper motor drivers has two digital inputs for controlling the motor: DIR and STEP. DIR controls the direction of the rotation (CW vs CCW), and sending a pulse on the STEP pin rotates the motor a single step in the selected direction. Common motors have step angle of 1.8 degrees (that is 200 steps per one turn), and many drivers also support microsteps, allowing more fine-grained control of the position. For instance, DRV8825 supports up to 32 microsteps, and other drivers may support up to 256 microsteps.
This module allows sending an exact number of steps in a specified speed on a given digital pin that is connected to the STEP pin of a stepper motor. It concurrently only supports running one motor at a time.
Usage Example
Send 1000 pulses per second up to a total of 6400 pulses on the digital pin D8. This should rotate a 200 steps-per-turn motor connected to a 32-microsteps driver exactly one turn (200 * 32 = 6400) in 6.4 seconds:
const NRF52Stepper = require('NRF52Stepper');
const stepper = new NRF52Stepper(D8);
stepper.start(1000, 6400);
Pause the stepping:
// The motor will stop moving until you call stepper.resume()
Resume the stepping:
Change the speed to 500 steps per second (total count of steps to move will stay intact):
Stop the motor:
// After calling stop(), you can call start() again. This will
// also reset the counter.
Restart the motor after it has stopped, with the same step count given in the previous start() call. If this is called while the motor is still moving, the step counter will be reset, similar to the bahaviour of the start() method:
Return the number of steps (pulses) sent so far:

Dear Android Linux,
Any Linux user will have a ROFLMAO attack and instant brain aneurysm, if a Windows user tells him that Linux needs antivirus protection ! Ha ha ha ha ha LoL LOL !
Whew! … that was close
Any way, apparently the most obvious reason to have an antivirus protection on Linux is when you have or work in a mixed environment. Lets say, you have a Linux PC/Laptop/Netbook for the real life stuff and a Windows PC for gaming that are connected to each other for file sharing. In this case you would love to have an antivirus protection on Linux to scan the files you download before you send them to your Windows machines over the network or USB. This way you are preventing any situation where your Windows machine will start having an undesirable behavior (e.g committing suicide with BSOD). The same security level can be useful when you have Dual Boot installation with Linux and Windows co-existing in the same machine. Moving files from Linux to Windows partition can be scanned before they end up to be a ticking time bomb.
Many antivirus developing software companies, for the above mentioned reasons, have developed antivirus solutions to protect Windows machines from within Linux machines. One of the most well known and respected companies is ESET. I remember, 7 years ago, when Norton was the "must have protection" on Windows PC's, with its bloated, RAM eater, heavy software… ESET at that time introduced the fastest, lightest and most effective antivirus solution ever existed. Every one using Windows were downloading a trial version to check that savior from "bad" Norton. Nevertheless, Norton learned a lesson from this and improved (so they say) their software.
On December of 2009, ESET introduced a new family member the NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop, in a beta state.
Features of ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop include:
- advanced scanning settings (comparable ESET NOD32 Antivirus v4 for Windows)
- detection of threats for Linux (this is the fun part !), Windows, Mac OS Xand other operating systems
- informative graphs, statistics and logs
- removable media scanning
- proxy support
- scheduler for automating scans
- support for both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel CPUs
- ThreatSense.NET sample submission
Why did they bothered creating a new software ? Lets hear from their words :
Desktop Linux distributions have surged in popularity on netbooks and low-cost office terminals. Linux has won for its fast startup time, low systems requirements and cost efficiency relative to popular platforms like Windows and Mac OS X.
Whether you use your Linux desktop to surf the Web or work on shared office documents, it is vulnerable to direct attacks by malware or may be targeted as a carrier for cross-platform viruses and other threats designed to target Windows and Macs. Network shares, email and removable media like USB keys are easy ways for multiplatform malware to spread under the radar.
Any fast-growing platform attracts the attention of cybercriminals and malware authors looking to profit from a community without robust antivirus protection. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux Desktop brings to the Linux community benefits that Windows users have trusted in and depended on: the smart proactive detection and small footprint of our ThreatSense® technology. ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 will keep you and your network safe from emerging Linux and cross-platform threats without system slowdowns. Advanced heuristic technology recognizes and nullifies novel threats while other AV solutions are still waiting hours or days for signature updates.
Cool marketing statement:
- "Linux desktop, is vulnerable to direct attacks by malware" ….I'm sooo scared ! Oh look, I am getting goosebumps !
- "Multiplatform malware" …. Holy sh#*&t, where did they found this term…
- "Windows users have trusted in and depended on"… This is a lie people! I have friends that they do not depend on any protection and they love to have a Zoo of various kinds of virus, bacteria and parasites in their C:windows
One year has passed and it NOD32 is still in beta cycle ! Cool words but, apparently, nobody took their words into serious consideration, so I decided to give it a try… (because I am serious). I downloaded it from here http://www.eset.eu/download/beta. I double clicked and the installation was just as it is in a Windows machine… NEXT, NEXT, (Ignore the License agreement) YES, NEXT, NEXT … OK thats….
The best thing was that it started to work immediately without any RESTART ! Also you can see at the notification area there is the traditional green "eye". I was curious, so I did a "Computer Scan"…
Results: 0 infected files. No fun for Linux users, going on "witch hunt"… Linux sometimes is so boring with out threats, like the ones Windows has…

With lines like "Your father's ranch is not a kingdom and he isn't a king. Your family deserves to lose everything" and "All the angels are gone son. There's only devils left" how could you not want to indulge in Taylor Sheridan and John Linson's ranch drama Yellowstone? The Paramount Network released the first trailer for season two and it is filled with so much grit and corruption that it will make you shiver.
The trailer for the second season puts Oscar winner Kevin Costner as the ruthless patriarch John Dutton front and center. Dutton controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect, the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America's first national park. In its sophomore season, the Duttons continue to fight for their ranch while danger lurks all around them, threatening to have their empire crumble.
The first season was a milestone for the Paramount Network as it was 2018's most-watched new cable series. It also ranked second across all cable TV series for the year. The cast also includes Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Jefferson White and Gil Birmingham. Costner, Sheridan and Linson serve as executive producers alongside Art Linson and David C. Glasser.
With Costner and other cast members in attendance, Yellowstone will be part of Deadline's Contenders Emmys event on April 7 on the Paramount lot.
Season two of Yellowstone will premiere on the Paramount Network June 19 at 10pm ET/PT. Watch the trailer above.

Another podium!
Last month I got my first placing on the podium in an international competition, and now I did it again!
The theme for Unterwasser Visions in October was «Drama» and the jury liked my picture better than most.
When you have a theme, and want to find, or take, a picture that fits the theme it is not always so easy. This month however I was not in doubt.
A couple of years ago I was in Dauin, Philippines, one of my absolute favorite dive spots, and suddenly I witnessed a drama tougher than anything I had seen before. In the beginning I could not even understand what I saw.
On the sandy bottom what looked to me like a very strange creature was laying. The front part was obviously a fish, but the end of it was furry, and did not look like any fish I had ever seen. It took me quite a while until I understood what was going on – not one or two, but three fire worms where eating the poor little goby alive!
To witness the goby turning its eyes, the mouth gasping and silently screaming for help, while the worms literally swallowed the fish in one whole piece was both fascinating and heart breaking.
Being an underwater photographer I always seek to find the unique, something special, and this was definitely one of this moments that you never know if you ever will experience again. While my heart was bleeding for the goby, the photographer in me recognized the uniqueness in the situation – and this gave me the second placing on a podium in this competition.
In addition to the jury placing me third, the public also voted my contribution to a 7th place – so a double top-ten this time!
Before the last competition of the year I am proud to be best rated on Team Norway, and depending on how the November competition goes I might stay there… Time will show, and in a months time we´ll know

This month the phoney war over Euro membership will get slightly more real. The Electoral Commission is to issue guidance for groups wanting to register as official "campaigners" in the Brexit referendum, and an outline of the rules.
We know the Conservative party will not register, remaining officially neutral. Labour will officially campaign to stay while allowing party members to do otherwise. But the epidemic of fence-sitting cannot swerve the obvious question, the one voters should be urgently asking politicians: what will your party do if a majority of us vote to leave the EU?
For the upcoming referendum to be democratic there need to be two, real and concrete alternatives on offer. The SNP, during the yes campaign in Scotland, at least, had a shadow central bank team in place, a clear timetable and a proposal on currency, laws and natural resource allocation.
With the EU referendum, while Ukip has published its vision for Britain outside Europe, there is no chance Ukip will be in power to enact the result. Barring accidents, it's the Conservatives who will be in power – yet the party has published no account of what its actions would be should the referendum it has offered go against David Cameron.
We know from the Scottish referendum what tends to happen in such a vacuum: a last-minute flurry of scare tactics and announcements from the Bank of England concerning imminent doom. A coordinated procession of business leaders on to the BBC to declare their withdrawal from Scotland on the morrow of a yes vote. Variations on a theme of capital flight and state insolvency, real and imagined.
Should the "leave" camp come near the mid-40s in the polls, we can expect the same level of panic (an ICM poll in December put it at 41%). It would be more seemly for parties with a serious chance of being in government to spell out what they would do. So what would a Conservative leave plan look like?
The government would come well armed with research into the eventuality of having to leave. Academic studies, combined with those from the Treasury and the Bank of England, make a powerful case for staying in by enumerating the long-term benefits of membership on trade, finance, labour market size and technology transfer.
In October, the Bank of England acknowledged that none of the published studies was adequate, but for the Conservatives they all pose the same problem: how to maintain the openness and dynamism of the UK economy in the face of a Brexit.
Specifically, you would expect a Tory Brexit contingency plan to cover four specifics: how to maintain the cheap-labour economy based on east European migration; how to keep the City as the financial capital of Europe and promote it as an offshore centre; how to sign a fair and equitable free trade agreement with the EU, and how to replace the EU courts and treaties inside a UK constitutional framework moulded around sovereignty shared with Europe.
For the Conservatives, at least, there would be agreement with mainstream economics about the gist of the problem: how to go on benefiting from flexible labour markets while seceding from a single market of 450 million consumers. But there's been no coherent anti-EU Conservative economic strategy for two generations. So it's a big ask.
For Labour, the challenges are the opposite. Labour has a strong, if dormant, anti-EU tradition and a front bench that would find it easy to adapt to a Brexit vote, even if the party has campaigned to stay in. State-aid rules, and rules preventing renationalisation, would be gladly abandoned. The ending of free movement would present a chance for the Labour supporters of a UK "green card". Accepting the City's loss of financial dominance, and discouraging its re-emergence as a new offshore finance centre for Europe would come naturally to Corbyn. As for the democratic issues, the need to rewrite the UK constitution would trigger a whole series of reforms that Labour favours, including of the House of Lords.
But the economic strategy challenge for Labour would be huge: in a neoliberal world, suddenly cast adrift from a neoliberal continent, what bilateral deals would a leftwing Labour government be able to make? It is one thing to accept that the neo-Keynesian proposals of Corbyn's advisers – a state investment fund, state-directed innovation, public ownership of transport and energy infrastructure – could promote growth. It's another question entirely whether they could do so against an EU determined to thwart them.
On top of the economics, both Labour and the Conservatives should be asked to state whether a major voting divergence between Scotland and the rest of the UK, in the event of a leave majority, should trigger a second independence vote.
Once you pose the questions sharply, it becomes clear why the parties are reluctant to answer them. Neither Labour nor Conservative leaderships can envisage running Britain successfully outside Europe. That some Tory ministers are toying with public support for Brexit is not the big story: this will come when one of them spells out a Conservative strategy for a post-EU Britain. That is, not "bilateral trade deals would be nice to have" but a concrete proposal over who to have them with, how and with what diplomatic quid pro quo.
Given the enormous frustration among British voters with Europe, and the distinct possibility that Cameron's negotiations with Brussels will fail, all Westminster parties are going to have to spell out their contingency plans. For the vote to be truly democratic, this has to be done clearly and soon.

4 Latest Findings 'Scary' in the World of Science
Maybe some people think that science is so complicated that it is not surprising that science is considered boring.
But in reality, many interesting things can be found in every individual knows what field they like most in science. Including those who like things 'creepy'.
A number of recent studies from the world of science reveal the creepy discoveries of various fields, ranging from outer space to things that are close to us.
Quoted from Listverse, here are 4 of the latest creepy discoveries coming from the world of science.
1. Cosmic Radiation
Planet Mars (NASA).
A new study shows, 225 million kilometers of travel to Planet Mars not only causes chronic jet lag, but there are a number of great dangers lurking behind it.
The study published in Scientific Reports found that levels of cosmic radiation exposed to tourists can cause brain damage, anxiety, and chronic dementia.
2. Killer Robot
Illustration of 'robots killer' (Melinda Sue Gordon)
Despite the benefits of using artificial intelligence or artificial intelligence (AI) in the future, a team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University revealed that the machine can kill indiscriminately.
AI is 'valued' to cause damage and kill. The destructive and killing ability was built because the robot had been programmed from the start with the optimal strategy to shoot continuously and damage whatever was seen by it.
3. Worms in the mouth
Parasites found in the mouth of Jonathan Allen (Wired)
Professor Jonathan Allen has difficulty diagnosing a rough circular section on the inside of his mouth. These clots regularly move to different places.
It turned out that the clot contained parasites in the form of small worms that only infected as many as 13 people in the United States, including Allen himself. He finally published an article about the worm which he named "Buddy".
4. Ancient Crocodile
Illustration of Carnufex carolinensis (Jorge Gonzales)
Paleontologists at North Carolina State University recently discovered an older species of dinosaur and are a close relative of ancient crocodiles. Although extinct 230 million years ago, Carnufex carolinensis (Carolina butcher) is a 3 meter long crocodile-like species and runs on two legs like humans.
With teeth like knives and agile movements, Carnuflex was probably one of the top predators before the appearance of dinosaurs.

You know the moment you walk into Larry's Bootfitting in Boulder that you've stumbled onto something special. It's more like a clubhouse than a ski shop, oozing with the funk of a man cave—and I mean that in the most endearing way. Vintage skis and boots line the walls and crowd dusty shelves. Well-thumbed ski magazines lie in disheveled piles at the ends of benches, which are reclaimed church pews. Customers' dogs lounge about, occasionally nuzzling up for a scratch. It's the kind of place where you go to get your boots fitted and end up sticking around for a beer.
Larry Houchen has been fitting ski boots for nearly 35 years, earning him icon status in this über-active Colorado town. He might not be comfortable with such effusive praise, but that's okay because he won't read this or anything else written about him anyway. He's a humble, quirky guy who loves what he does: which is helping customers find the best boots for their feet, and then tweaking the fit to be just right.
"Boots determine the quality of someone's day on the hill," says Larry.
Heather VanGilder, who has been fitting boots at Larry's for about eight years, says their philosophy is snuggest and most comfortable. "Larry has always been known for fitting boots on the smaller side."
Boots that are too big are a recipe for disaster. Liners that feel comfy at first quickly pack out, resulting in rubbing, hot spots, blisters, shin bang, and a host of other complications that can bring skiers to tears, or sideline them for part of a season. No one wants to be on the injured reserve list as a result of ill-fitting boots.
"You want to match the shape of the foot as closely as you can to the shape of the boot so when the boots pack out you use the buckles to adjust the fit. You don't want to use the buckles to be the fit," Larry explains.
Larry starts by choosing the right boot model to match your foot and skiing style. Then he heat molds the liners to form a tight fit. He also recommends custom insoles for proper support. After making adjustments to remedy hot spots or discomfort, Larry sends you out to ski. Some customers never need to return, others come back for adjustments, sometimes toting a six-pack and primed for some bra talk.
A desire to keep the mom-and-pop shop atmosphere alive is what inspired Larry to strike out on his own in 2004. There's no question he's succeeding on this front.
"People like hanging out here," says Larry. "They get to talk about things they like to do with people who also like to do the same things, whether it's mountain biking or skiing or snowboarding. I think it's because the people who work here actually care, and they want to do a good job."
VanGilder, for one, really enjoys troubleshooting people's problems. "People come in all skeptical and pessimistic about boots and when they leave, they're happy," she says.
The place bustles with activity. Larry is a master juggler, a multitasking aficionado. At any one time, he might be answering the phone, keeping his eye on a couple of pairs of boots that are cooling, crafting a set of custom insoles, and offering advice. To the linear brain, it might seem like a chaotic approach, but somehow Larry manages to keep all the balls in the air.
If the repeat clientele is any indication, then he must be doing something right. Like migrating geese, customers—myself included—have loyally followed him from shop to shop for years.
Leslie Resnick, who has worked in the ski industry and has been going to Larry for bootfitting for more than two decades, is quick to sing his praises. "If you know the best doctor, you go to the best doctor. And he is the best doctor for ski boots," she says.
Larry's Bootfitting sells and fits AT and alpine skis, boots, and bindings. They also fit snowboard boots, although they don't carry them. The shop ramps up for the season after Labor Day and shutters the third week of April so Larry can earn some turns. Call ahead for an appointment if you want to be top priority.

text: Agreed that they were a threat and that we didn't focus on them properly. However, they were not an insurgent threat, but rather an irregular threat. An insurgent is a subcategory of an irregular threat. I'm not trying to slice and dice your argument, but do want to make sure that you understand that there is a difference. Also, I wasn't offering the Stryker as a panacea to COIN, but rather highlighting that a SBCT (if it had been ready and available for the march to Baghdad) would have been a great asset against the irregular threat that the Fedayeen presented.Originally Posted by RTK

In October, Justin Coffey and Kyra Sacdalan will embark upon an epic motorcycle-meets-surf adventure. The idea is to ride a pair of dual-sport motorcycles from Long Beach to La Paz and back, more than 1,000 miles each way. The goal is to witness the start of the 47th Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, which will take place on November 12th in Ensenada, before riding south toward Scorpion Bay. The adventure will be featured in Overland Journal and SLIDE Magazine, as well as on Expedition Portal. A short film, shot and edited by Pursuit of the Arbitrary, will highlight our experience, in addition to a long-form editorial piece and photo feature which will be produced by Justin.
Once the couple return to the United States, they'll curate a collection of photographs which will be displayed in Caffé Vita coffee shops up and down the west coast, as well as a gallery debut at Deus Ex Machina in Venice, CA. The intention of the trip – other than the adventure of it all – is to utilize small displacement dual-sport motorcycles to explore the Baja peninsula; searching for surf, camping along the coast, eating interesting things and meeting extraordinary people along the way. They'll take advantage of any opportunity to ride off-road, avoiding highways and overpopulated areas at all costs… carrying only the essentials, eating and drinking only what they can afford, and traveling as fast (or slow) as they want.
This is neither the first nor the last time someone traveled south to surf, but Justin feels they'll be able to add a little excitement to what is already sure to be an interesting adventure – riding small displacement motorcycles more than two-thousand miles, to witness one of the most spectacular motorsport events on earth, the Baja 1000.

Two Hoosiers and two Kentuckians will be attend the first-ever White House Summit on Community Colleges Tuesday in Washington. The summit will be focused mainly on improving education accessibility and attainment.
Among those invited to the summit are Jefferson Community and Technical College president Tony Newberry, Hopkinsville Community College president James Selbe, Ivy Tech student Michael Rice and Ivy Tech president Tom Snyder.
Snyder says he's not sure what exactly will be discussed, but he hopes Pell Grant reform will be on the agenda.
"The way the system works with Pell Grant financial aid is the more you charge, the more Pell Grant money your students get," he says. "Well, because we try to keep our costs low, we tend to disadvantage our own ability to grow because it's a third-party payer system and we're the low-cost provider."
Snyder says he expects to field several questions as well, since Ivy Tech is a statewide system, and community college presidents may be looking for new ways to work with campuses in other counties and states.

Yashica Vintage Camera Brand
Yashica Brand Overview
|1945 — Nagano, Empire of Japan
|(modern day Japan)
Yashica Brand History
Yashica was a Japanese brand founded as Yashima Seiki Seisakusho (Yashima Precision Works) in Nagano Prefecture. Established in May of 1945 as a military subcontractor, the company manufactured munition fuses for the Japanese Empire for just a few months before the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought the Second World War to an abrupt end. Without a war effort to support, the company began producing electrical components and eventually went public as Yashima Seiki K.K. (Yashima Precision Works Co., Ltd.) by the end of 1949.
In 1953, the company decided to head in a new direction, changed its name to Yashima Kogaku Seiki K.K. (Yashima Precision Optical Instruments Co., Ltd.), and branched out into the camera industry with the Pigeonflex, a twin lens reflex camera. The company continued to produce TLRs over the next few years, including some bearing the name "Yashicaflex," "Yashica" being a contraction of "Yashima" and "Camera." In 1958, the company finally changed its name to Yashica Co., Ltd.. Yashica soon expanded to 35mm cameras with the aptly named Yashica 35 (not to be confused with the Electro 35) and into the subminiature market with the Yashica Y16. In 1959, Yashica acquired Nicca—a struggling brand specializing in high-end 35mm rangefinders—and immediately rebranded two of their models for sale as the Yashica YE (the Nicca 33) and the Yashica YF (Nicca IIIL).
Yashica flourished in the 1960s, releasing notable cameras such as the Pentamatic, Rapide, the Electro Half, the aforementioned Electro 35, and even manufacturing an instant camera on behalf of Polaroid: the Polaroid 120. In 1973, Yashica entered into a business partnership with the famed German optical company Carl Zeiss and soon began manufacturing high quality 35mm SLRs under the Zeiss's Contax brand starting with the Contax RTS. Accompanying these new Contax SLRs were a wide range of exceptional Zeiss-designed lenses which could also be used on new Yashica-branded SLRs like the FX-3.
Kyocera acquired Yashica in 1983 and began using the existing partnership with Zeiss to produce the wildly successful T* series line of compact 35mm cameras (which includes the popular Yashica T4) while continuing to manufacture the existing lines of Yashica and Contax rangefinders and SLRs. As digital cameras became more and more popular, Kyocera produced a series of uninspiring compact digital cameras under the Yashica name before abandoning it and pulling out of the camera market entirely in 2005. Three years later, Kyocera sold the Yashica brand to Hong Kong-based firm MF Jebsen which is now using it to market digital cameras.

Google Glass may have been a bust, but connected eyewear and other wearables are proving essential in helping to make supply chains and warehousing operations more productive and safer.
Supply chain management applications will contribute to wearables' skyrocketing growth, as the market is set to surge from 2.3 million units in 2015 to 66.4 million units by 2021, according to analyst firm Tractica. The analyst firm forecasts a cumulative total of 171.9 million wearables will be shipped for use in enterprise and industrial applications during that period. These numbers represent a significant upgrade of Tractica's previous forecasts since last year when enterprise- and industrial-grade wearables began shipping in volumes.
"In the past year, the enterprise and industrial wearables market has moved into an implementation phase, with the focus shifting from public announcements to the hard work that needs to be done behind the scenes to get wearables rolled out at commercial scale," Aditya Kaul, a research director for Tractica, said.
The pay off
The use of wearables in warehouses, for example, can save immense amounts of time and human effort. By wearing smart glasses and headsets that offer voice-activated commands, a worker in California, for example, could merely scan an item in a warehouse for shipping to a destination across the globe by making eye contact with it. Information about the package then appears in a head-up display before the worker gives a voice command for the parcel to be shipped. Information about where the worker should be next and when they should be there appears on the head-up display. Other information the worker can easily access with the headset includes the time of the next break, the location of different shipments, and alerts about inventory levels.
Meanwhile, the order status is communicated to a tracking system as a customer monitors the shipment in real time. Information about the electronic components inside the device being shipped is uploaded to a database accessible by suppliers in Asia and Europe.
In this scenario, the use of a headset and smart eyeglasses that weigh just a few ounces can eliminate the need for the worker to use a heavier scanner they would otherwise have to carry around with them throughout their shift. The need to manually input data into a terminal where there might also be a line of workers waiting to do the same process is also eliminated in this scenario.
The efficiency gains in this way translate into fewer stress-related injuries, less physical human effort, and cost savings.
"We have been tracking pilots and commercial deployments of these solutions across logistics and warehousing facilities since 2014, and in many of the cases, we see efficiency gains of up to 25% and near 100% picking accuracy," Kaul said.
Case study
UPS, one of the world's largest delivery companies and a supply chain management services provider, has started equipping many of its workers with wearables. The wearable devices UPS has begun to use communicate information in real time about deliveries, repair history and instructions for machines and devices, and other data. These devices are bundled with beacons and sensors and are expected to play a key role in future supply chain operations.
While technology challenges remain before wearables become fully integrated with UPS' operations, such as ensuring all the wearable devices remain fully compatible and connected to the company's networks, UPS says the technology holds much promise.
DHL, as well as UPS, is using wearables such as smart glasses and voice-controlled headsets to replace handheld scanners and paper lists, Kaul said.
"Wearables are being used by warehouse facility workers to locate or scan items in a hands-free operation, allowing for speedup and optimization of picking processes," Kaul said.

Sad Story of Wrestler Chris Benoit Heading to Theaters in 'Crossface'
by Ethan Anderton
December 7, 2011
Source: Deadline
Back in 2007, a shocking and truly tragic news story made headlines when professional wrestler Chris Benoit murdered his wife and 7-year old son before hanging himself. Now the story of the troubled wrestling star is heading to the big screen as Deadline reports SRG Films is developing Crossface, a film based on Matthew Randazzo V's book Ring Of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit and the Fall of the Pro Wrestling Industry. The film will follow Benoit's life in the WWE, the struggles he endured and how the combination of drug use, depression and head trauma led him to become a ticking time bomb of instability.
The chronicle of a troubled wrestler was most recently seen in the aptly titled film The Wrestler, but with this tale (being adapted by first-time writer Sarah Coulter) being true to life and following the tragedy of a man affected by his career to the point that he lost his mind, it's a wholly different kind of drama. SRG Films head Dale Alexander Carnegie says, "Chris Benoit has become a poster child for everything that's wrong with professional wrestling and Sarah's terrific script captures his struggles and the many factors that led to the deaths of three people. People immediately point to steroids, never thinking about the brain trauma these wrestlers can and do incur in their profession, nor do they consider the rigorous schedule that keeps them working even when they shouldn't." Sounds like quite an expose that could paint the WWE in an unfavorable light if funding comes together to get the project off the ground.

Such bad taste to make fun of a grammatical error involving the death of a 7 year old boy. Stay classy Anon...

I know right, Hollywood has no respect.
Anonymous on Dec 7, 2011
Indeed. I mean, his image is already ruined as it is, but I dont think its entirely necessary to piss on it even more. But hey, thats Hollywood. That whore has no shame.

Not sure how to feel about this...kind of like Sid and Nancy.
Xerxexx on Dec 7, 2011
Surely wrestlers are just giant muscle bound babies with shrivelled little manginas? All those roids just melting their already tiny brains. Didn't the Wrestler already show the pathetic side of wrestling? I thought that did it pretty well and it was still worth watching. This as hilarious as the story sounds, might be a bit of a drag.
Crapola on Dec 7, 2011
Pathetic is actually more like some low life coward who is so miserable with his own existance and who struggles with homosexuality that he has to go online where he is protected and sheltered and talk trash about something he knows absolutely nothing about to try and make himself feel like he's better than other people. A person with no self esteem, no motivation to do anything in life other than sit behind a computer and blame everyone else for his own failures and insecurities. Let's insult the memory of people we never knew and the struggles in life they faced that we will never truly understand. Let's be judgemental and pretend we have the right to.

How dare you call yourself Steve McQueen? A man of that caliber would not stand for this muppet-like bleating, you thin skinned housewife.
Lebowski on Dec 7, 2011
C'Mon Steve, I don't struggle with homosexuality, I embrace it. I don't know if you've ever had a 'reacharound' but it's double the pleasure that's all I'll say. I also embrace failure, through my failures in life, I've succeeded and advanced, unlike Chris Benoit who took his failure badly by committing a horrendously 'cowardly' and 'selfish' act, drugging, then murdering his wife and child because he couldn't play act with the muscle boys anymore. Failure is nothing.
Crapola on Dec 8, 2011
the true story of the death of a seven year old by his own fathers hand sounds hilarious to you? please never come out from behind that monitor.
rockkicker on Dec 8, 2011
I didn't kill him. Just saying.
Crapola on Dec 19, 2011
I remember back when Singer's X-men first came out and thinking how much Benoit would have been a better Wolverine (Canadian, build, height, etc...). He was always one of my fav's but I never woulda thought his intensity carried over into real life.
Anonymous on Dec 7, 2011
I am all for this. I hope they tell the true story. This should have never happened. Ultimately the Doctors failed Benoit. For those that talk about steroids, look up the wwe wellness program and ask Evan Bourne about his 30 day suspension.
Jon Chamberlain on Dec 7, 2011
Oh yes it is the doctors fault...... are you fucking serious ?
Shige on Dec 8, 2011
I dont think it was the completely the docs fault in a Michael Jackson sort of way (though wrestlers have had doctors prescribe them roids, Test therapy & HGH), because I read that they had his brain looked at afterwards by a neurosurgeon and it was in the same condition of an 85-yr-old altziemers's patient. He was suffering from severe chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) caused by concussions and had severe damage on all 4 lobes of his brain and brain stem. Whether it was chemical or caused by brain trauma, dude was really messed up.

Why do I get the feeling Vince Mcmahon won't like this?
Carl on Dec 7, 2011
Some stories shouldn't be made into movies. However, if this shines a light on WWE and there over-the-top work schedule, labeling the wrestlers "independent contractors" (so they can't form a union), and the way WWE treats the health of it's wresters, than I am all for it.
Mnoelio on Dec 7, 2011
this could be great.
cm punk on Dec 8, 2011
its wwe's fault, chris beniot's fault and his doctor's fault i hope this movie tells the truth and not what the internet wants you to believe!!!
Randi Parker on Jan 15, 2012
I hope it never sees the light of day. Randazzo's book was a goddamn hatchet job and the thought of that hack making a dime more from the tragedy makes me vomit. This is not a story that can be trusted to anyone in Hollywood, certainly not to anyone without any sympathy or understanding of the business and without connections to the business. Given what I've seen on IMDB about the production company, it's rather likely that the film won't make it into the can. There was a most excellent film a couple years ago that, while not touching the Benoit tragedy directly, beautifully presented the price one pays for their passion. You may have heard of it - _The Wrestler_, directed by Darren Aronofsky. That is about as close to the Benoit tragedy as anyone in Hollywood is ever going to get and still get their film into theatres.

I am copying all my myspace blogs here, setting everything up will take about a week.

I am copying all my myspace blogs here, setting everything up will take about a week.
Its strange how being a "single" mom has been such a relief. I seem to not sweat the little things any longer, the kids are fed, bathed and shuffled off to bed with no anxiety following along. The hick ups along the way are just that and no longer bother me like they used to. Getting up numerous times during the night is just something that happens. I dont usually count when I get up and even if I do its forgotten about by the end of the day.
I have a full plate and I love it. I am happy to have taken the high road in all this and to be coming out a better person. I am happy that Jason and I still have a great friendship and co parent awesomely together. I am grateful that our kids will be able to see their parents interact like adults and not fear talking about one of us to the other. I am grateful that we can show them that sometimes things dont work out but that we can still be friends.
The 13th was the day last year, the day I woke up to my Dear Juli letter. The odd dreams that I had been having throughout my pregnancy came true. Every detail played out like it had done months and months before. Its so strange that I just knew, that I had dreamt it all along. I remember waking from my dreams a few times confused because it seemed so real. Jason would get home from school and I would tell him about them, how vivid they were, and he would just say that he would never leave me. lol
But anywho, I think the dreams prepped me for the real thing because the day it happened I was amazingly calm. I called a few girl friends, we laughed that I left Jason stranded on the side of the road. I packed the car and me and the kids headed for the yellow city.
I dont think I even cried on the trip here but its all foggy now anywho. I do remember all the fires though we when go into town.
I cried constantly once it sunk in and that went on for about a month…then Boone came along. I still grieved the loss of my husband, hell I still do, but it certainly helped having someone along for the ride.
Through all these ups and downs I can say without a doubt that I am happier now more then ever. I love my life, I love my friends and family, I love being forced into new roles. I love the challenge of playing the mom and dad, I love the rush and excitiment knowing that I can do this, that I am doing this.
I love how I went from strictly t shirts and jeans to a much more sleek look, not high fashion by any stretch of the imagination but I only have one pair of hole filled jeans now. And the sad thing is my flip flop wearing feet have now been transformed to heels pretty much on a daily basis, its so bad that not wearing heels throws me off.
I.am.awesome. And I have no qualms saying it.
My kids are just as awesome. Hope does really well being shuffled about but then again its all she has ever know.
But Ian does beautifully now (for the most part) compared to when we first got here. I can now leave his side and he is okay. He helps me a lot around the house and loves his baby sister. Tonight we made heart crayons for his class at daycare, tomorrow we are making the valentines, Wednesday we are making chocolate suckers and Thursday we are making cookies. It gonna be awesome.
I booked our hotel in Dallas, its the intercontenental, should be fun.
I am in need of a vacation.
And with that I am off to bed. Woot

I got my new laptop today and its even better then I expected. I love the magnetic closure, so much better then a latch. The screen isnt any more glossy then my hp is so no adjusting there. The touchpad is going to take some getting used to though since there are no buttons for it, its just one big button.
But the size, omg, its great. Of course going from a 17″ to a 15.4″ will make a difference but it actually makes a huge difference. Plus its much more lightweight.
I havent really tinkered with it because I have nothing installed on it yet but I should have a chance to get everything transferred over the weekend.
I wanted a cute sleeve to put it in so it wasnt bouncing around in the bag when I haul it to school but the one I wanted was 65 bucks which is crazy. This is the one I wanted by the way…
It looked easy enough to sew so I went and bought the materials today, tax and all it was 7.50. Got home and just as I was about to grab my old 15″ dell for measurements the ups guy showed up with the mac. Yay. So I took it out of the box and measured, keeping it in the plastic all the while.
So here are some pics of my cute sleeve, the sewing is no way perfect and I threw it all together in under an hour and you can tell. I didnt want to add a velcro closure like the ones on the website have, the material is fuzzy and it would get gunked up fast anywho.
The other pics are comparing the sizes of the two laptops. Please excuse the finger prints all over my hp, you cant see them usually.

Today was packed full of stuff to do which was good because I needed my mind to be occupied. Anywho, the morning did not start to well. It would be amazing if I could not get insulted/talked down to constantly from my dad but you would think after 28 plus years I would be used to it.
To start, Ians been doing this "I will only eat what I want to eat faze" thus not eating at daycare. But the thing is is that he eats the same stuff here, the only difference is that I usually dont eat with the kids so he gets to choose what he wants to eat.
I ask him why…
Seriously. Spoiled, I know and I can clearly see that. But, BUT my dads answer is to make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day and take it with him. But then finishes the sentence with "you should really get him to eat more stuff". But if I point out his bad logic he has to insult me and well…Jason.
I am probably the pickest eater that anyone knows and it sucks and I HATE that part about me. I have tried the new foods thing and it did not work at all. Something about 23 years before eating something besides a grilled cheese that put a mental mind block out. I dont want my kids to go down that path and up until a couple weeks ago he ate anything put in front of him.
I know the food hasnt changed at daycare, its just that he is being a stubborn brat.
My solution, if he doesnt eat/drink at school then fine, whatever. But at home I will fix what I want to make for him and if he doesnt eat then he doesnt eat. He will eat eventually and has already made a bit of progress.
When I told my dad that he flew off the handle. I explained my reasoning but he didnt care, its all about the dammed pb&j on a daily basis. That will fix the problem, yeah right.
Then, because I guess he didnt think he had insulted me enough he had to note that he has never met another 30 pound 5 year old. I said that he should have met Jason at 5 and he said he wished he had never met him at all…right in front of Ian. :/
Funny though, he has always eaten well and yet been the same weight but now all of a sudden its a problem.
So I called Jason just to make sure I wasnt crazy and he agreed with me and thats all that matters.
<./ vent >
So Ian and I went shopping today for some little things all over town. Got him a cool new toothbrush holder that has a little sand timer on it as well as new toothpaste, etc. Also got a new laptop bag for my new laptop that will be here on tuesday.
Ordered a new pair of hinges (after replacing the lcd a few months ago I was really hoping to never have to open the top again) for my "old" laptop, got a nifty new skin for the new one and a keyboard cover (I know I am a dork).
Not looking forward to backing it up though and I have no idea where the restore cds are.
School is going well although being in this basic math class is killing me. Its an easy a, I just have to keep telling myself that. We learned how to measure a box on Friday…joy. And how to use a ruler, like count the spaces in the middle and not the ticks.
Saw bent last night and it was really good, also saw a few people that I hadnt seen in a month or two.
And with that I am off…night.
