Target : GPx Turntable Home Music System S7694

Sort of looking into prices for a new Stereo, ours is pretty much shot.
It needs a turntable, cd player, tuner and casset player...



This is $170...

Target : GPx Turntable Home Music System S7694



Wow here is our current system...we have had two over the last 5 years. The first one died and they replaced it. The current one died the same way.. Emerson's 5 CD Home Audio Stereo with Turntable for $199!

Working from the TOP down...

As you may notice I am starting at the top and working down. I am still tweaking the colors and spacing.

Daddly Long Legger on my Jones Soda...


...not a real one, well it is real but it's the photo on the label. You can send in pictures to them and they pick new pics for their labels very often...

Jones Soda

Pretty cool site. Now I wonder if other companies bought out Zota Soda(the first Tea Soda i saw) because I am starting to see other tea sodas. Jones looks like they are putting out thier own.

So as I dig into the CSS and HTML things will shift and hcange colors for a while... Dont judge it before it's done. I will be using colors some people don't like.

Gryphon Aks - What do Bee's Eat?


My Honey Co. - Questions - My Honey Co: "What do bees eat?

Honeybees eat what they gather. They eat pollen and nectar gathered from flowers. Pollen provides an excellent source of protein for the bees. Honeybees mix their honey and stored pollen together to feed the queen and baby bees or brood. This mixture is known as beebread."

Another page also said: Bees eat pollen for protein and honey for carbohydrates.

This will be my post for my links to stuff I have Electronics and such.

Google now has a personalize-able page in the Google Labs

If it works well I will be moving my start page over, for nothing else other than a change...lots of changes coming.

Ah ha, they have a bookmarks section! I think I'll split my bookmarks between my blog and my new Google home page. Not that I dont like Yahoo! I really have nothing against them but I just like to switch things up a little...

Bum, bum...BUMMMM!!! The Hammer Drops at TV Guide...

Well, The TV Guide is getting rid of all of there national digest size (small books) and making one full size color book for hth whole country. I thought that would happen. I created the templates that the ads would go in. Well today they announced that they were going to start with that in October. The Hammer, the hammer is that most of my department is not needed, me included.

Oct 3 is my date. I get two weeks severance for each year so that should be 10 weeks (5 paychecks basicly). I assume that I have to stay to the end to get that money. So the game will be to have a job start after the 3rd...To get a phat paycheck and have a decent job.
I wondered how I would feel if I ever got layed off.... Well, its odd. It's sort of a no feeling. Its nobodys fault really. It's not like they did it based on performance. It was more just job based and my main job delt with the color ads going into the digest book, no book no job, done.I If i am said about anything its that my revitalized skateboarding will also probably be gone in Oct. I guess I'll hold off on getting another board...really that's the worst part about it.

Backed-Up Photos Last Night

I backed up our photo folder last night to a DVD , 4.3 gig worth of Photos.

Next will be the Music folder. Actually what I need to do is back up the music to either DVDs (35gig about 8 dvds worth) or move all of it to the main hard drive. Then reformat the old hard drive with a bigger music folder and then put it all back. I will probably start that tonight when I am doing homework.

I Don't Like Rage Against the Machine


There are not a whole lot of bands that I would say I dislike but, Rage is one of them. While I like a couple of there songs becasuse they sound good overall they sounds really really angry. Not like your avverage punk or rap angry but scarey angery. i have given them a couple tries but It just sounds like an angry guy yelling at me. Sometimes if groups are angry but sound good with the music they can hang with my collection...but when you dont sound good with the music and you are just yelling at me about ...stuff, whatever it is he was yelling aablut, deservid or not...I just wont have you. I am not sayin they suck just that I don't prefer them, not that they should not express what they have to say but I have the power not to listen to his angry ranting. Goodbye Rage...I will delete you!

Sea World Whale Car...

...Lots of words that can be seperate but put them together and you get this car I saw on the road one day on the way home...














Whew....It's Hot!!!


Man it was hot at the skatepark today...

... it's not the HEAT it's the Humidity!!! ;oP

Rug clean up, room rearrange and some Photoooos...

...so I left from work early yesterday to help take care of the wet rug situation. I should have taken pictures to show the steps we took. I got the wet dry vac from Gmom carter and started sucking up the dampness from the top of the rug. That didnt seem to being doing much so I pulled up the carpet to start on teh foam padding. The padding was soaked and since it wasn't that big of an area(no bigger than 4x4 feet) we ripped up the soaking wet padding. Under that the hardwood floor was pretty bad. I hit that with the Vac to take off the wetness and then hit everything with Lysol and put a fan on it. i continued with the Vac for a bit but it was the fan that dried things up.

We popped out to a carpet place and I got a square of padding for $5. We also hit Old Navy and Five Below while we were out.

Got home let the floor dry a bit more, put the padding down and put the carpet back in place. We lured Peter in as he was walking home from work to comment on how we were thinking on rearrangeing the living room. We pushed the small couch into the middle of the room. It makes a sort of sitting area. Then brought the Computer out of the backroom and put it into the bay window. it works out nice. It also frees up alot of room in the playroom. From left to right in the photo:My CD Software Binder,the PC, On the PC, front to back: Phone(sunrocket), Wireless Mouse base, x10 RF Reciever, DSL modem, Sunrocket Gizmo.

Water+Magic Cards=moldy magic



Well I knew that our AC was leaking the one day so I fixed that. The other night I noticed a wet spot on the floor in front of the couch... Last night we investigated the wet spot that would not go away. It was the drippings from the AC down the wall and under the couch via my box of common magic cards:o( I desroyed most of my commons and the worse problem is that we now have to deal with a moldy rug...

Pro Skater Chris Cole at the park today...


...i had the feeling that Chris Cole was at the park today as I drove up. Guess what, he was. In my 20 years of skateing I have met/ seen a handful of Pros. Chris and his buddies gave off a very positive easy going vibe. I didn't talk to him but you tell by the way he talks to his buddies and anyone else that he is a really good guy. If you read some interviews you will find it to be true also.

He still holds onto his East Coast roots and lives in Langhorn, I guess thats why he shows up at our small park from time to time.

Speaking of TMBG...


...might as well add them to my Music Post while I am thinking about them.

I first heard TMBG at the same time I was discovering 88.5 WXBN. I guess it was about 1991 and I was driving around hunting for something good on the radio. I heard the Cure playing on the 88.5 and then Birdhouse in your soul came on. Of course I had no idea what it was but I loved it and became hooked on there music and there wacky art.

Gryphons asks:: Whats the black hood the Camera people wear?



Status: As Close As We Get For Now.

So it sounds like it just keeps light out so that the colors can be seen by the photographer better and in older cameras it helped to keep light off of the film maybe...

-->Update! OkThis web page has some explination. It's just not laid out nice and clear that a kid can understand...still looking.

Thanks for you input Amanda.

--------------------

So far, I can't find a web page with an explination. I think it has something to do with blocking light so you can see the colors better but I would like to read about it.

Any help out there?

Midterm Assignment for Sociology

This is my midterm for my Sociology Class. It is self examination of why were are who we are today.
I will use the suggested 5x5 writing style. That is 5 paragraphs each with 5 sentences. The first paragraph is your theseis. The first sentance is the intro. the middle 3 sentences bring up the points you want to discuss. Those three sentences are the basis for the middle 3 Paragraphs, The final Paragraph restates the points in the opening paragraph and then wraps stuff up.

Now that I am finished, it turns out that I broke out of the above format. I find that I think about stuff visually and so putting those thoughts down on paper is very hard sometimes. Trying to keep to the above format was to restraining, i had to let it flow abit more. Anyways here it is...

Chris Faulkner
Intro to Sociology Midterm
07/15/05

My name is Christopher Charles Faulkner. I would like to give credit in a way to 4 major parts of my personality. My parents, I believe, by not pushing me into any one thing and being very supportive of me I have been able to develop my own thoughts on many social issues of the world. Another thing that helped me step out from the norm as a teenager, and even now, is Skateboarding, which I attribute so much of my positive attitude to today. While my parents left the door open and Skateboarding allowed me express my freedoms, the person that gave more focus, I guess that is how you would describe it, to my thoughts was my wife, Sarah. I also have to touch on my, almost painful at times, shyness as it effects much of my life also.

Looking back I don't think my parents had a certain parenting style in mind. I feel that we had/have a good relationship which curbed some of the rebellious nature that a teen-ager can go through. While some of their views on religion, racism, and other social issues may have been apparent they were never pushed on me and allowed me to develop my own opinions on those issues. My parents have never blocked any of my decisions and in most cases have done what they could to try to support them.

"How long have you been skating?" A teenaged skater asks me. I smile. " I started in 1984." I say. Some quick math and we both realize that I have been rolling since before they were born. Skateboarding has been huge part of my life. While skating was light for the later part of the 20 years, a solid 7 years saw me skating every day I could put my wheels down on a dry surface. Skateboarding empowered me to express myself and not to be caught up in what people thought then and think now about me. I feel that it today allows me to try things that some may shy away from because of what public perception of themselves, as “adults” may be. It keeps me thinking and feeling young. I could wax poetically about skating for along time, even when skateboarding wasn't a daily activity for me it was always on my mind. I feel the same passion of for it now during my lunchtime sessions as I did back then; it is a big part of me.

Sarah helped to focus my views and to expand my world even more. I doubt I would have ever had the healthier natural lifestyle including vegetarianism had I not met her. I don’t think that I was un-compassionate before meeting her but I think that because of the experiences she has brought and continues to bring to the relationship, my compassion for people, places, and things has grown because of her. Sarah's spiritual searches have exposed me to many forms of spirituality although I still stand firm in my atheistic views.

One trait that has been a detriment to me has been my shyness. Public speaking, confronting people, calling people even talking to current or old friends brings on this anxiety that can sometimes bring on total inaction on my part. It caused me to fail to give oral presentations in high school, apply for jobs correctly and enter into confrontations that needed to be dealt with. I’m not sure were to attribute this to. I do think it may stem from seeing my parents argue when I was very young which may be the cause for me avoiding interactions that may lead to confrontations.

Generally I think that I have a very positive attitude and am very accepting and adaptable to change. I have a very secure family atmosphere and know that I can count on my parents for support in decisions that I make. I have skateboarding to define myself and keep me young at heart. Sarah continues to open new paths and keeps me thinking about things. I am happy with how I have so far turned out and look forward to future changes that may come about.

The historic Mount Holly monkey statue was stolen on New Year's Eve in 2003. It was part of an outdoor display of 14 sculptures.

Two other statues swiped that night were recovered in an attic. But the monkey remained missing.

Township landmarks are painted on the monkey's body.

Sunrocket tech chimes in on the 7/11 outage.

A couple of the techs from Sunrocket browse the forums on Broadbandreports.com and gave some info about the outage the other day.

reply to mph300
A lot of valid points are being made regarding our communication of outages. We do have some upgrades in the works on fleshing this out more.

That said, this most recent outage was inexcusable. As noodler said, we had recently made some massive upgrades to capacity that we thought would get us around this hump once and for all. Unfortunately, after several days of flawless operation, an unexpected condition arose that combined with a hardware failure to produce a catastrophic outage. That is about as much as I can give you.

Going in to detail on these outages, and figuring out how to phrase customer communications during and afterwards is a huge discussion point for us internally. Essentially we are trying to balance the security of our network (in some cases, like this most recent one, giving you more detail would give an overview of our hardware and network layout - an unacceptable risk as far as I am concerned) with providing you folks better information on the what happened and why it wont happen again.

Communicating this stuff effectively to such a large, diverse audience is hard to figure out and we are trying. We are listening to you guys and already have some enhanced communications capabilities in the QA pipeline right now (this from some of the excellent feedback last month).

Thanks again for all the supporters out there as well as for the critics. These forums particularly have provided us some of our most valuable feedback.

Weekend Stuff July 9 to the 11th.





Friday started the same with me going to school friday night. One thing I must say is that I only got to skate once last week! Monday was the 4th, Tuesday I forgot my chnage of cloths, I did clean out the car that day though. wednesday I skated. Thursday and Friday I had to do the tedious Data Structures and File organizatins homework.

After School Friday David and Rowan were over when I got home. I continued with my Homework and finished at about 1am. Peter knocked at the window about 1:30 or so and he and Rowan hung out until, gasp, 4am. I then got up and got to class at 8:15...took a killer test and watched 116 PowerPoint slides. Well at least I tried to battle of sleep to watch them. The lack of sleep I had had nothing to do with sleeping through the slides as I saw one other guy battleing sleep...

Sunday was a slow day. I entertained the kids till about 1am while Sarah did some sewing. I think my lack of sleep was catching up. I took the kids outside. I layed a blanket out for Ruby and dazed in and out while watching here and G. When I came back in I was really fuzzy and while Sarah nursed Ruby down I hung out with G a bit and made lunch. When Ruby woke up I went and layed down with her. She snuggled onto my arm and feel back asleep. I gave in at that point and went to sleep also. About 3 or 4 we decided to go to my parents and swim in the pool they have. After some screaming and whineing G put on some swimmies and was able to touch bottom with his toes. He felt confident enough to walk/swim on his own. After we kicked the grown ups out we made a whirlpool. Photo inset: Not our whirl pool but, a whirl pool none the less.
We ate dinner and my Dad showed me the Veitnam game he started playing online. Pretty cool, he is really into it and it's even keeping him up later than usual. It's always good to have something like that I think. You need to have some fun.

I have to start my diet again. Although I have seen some decent pics of my self I have also seen to many with the horrible double chin action going on...no carbs during the week is the main part for me...Ill ave to skip the mocca and whip on my coffe at work too.

Thats a nice pic, eh! Me at one of my more tired moments over the weekend...whew.

...is the text on the left in the menu's, to small? Sometimes different browsers show text sizes oddly. its really smal for me with DeerPark(a beta testbrowser from the makers of FireFox). On Safari it looks ok though.

I can see again or Blogger and Websense make nice...

Websense must have made nice with Blogspot because I can see all the images uploaded via Blogger now.

I think I will still put Flickr to usee, they are good for on the fly resizing while bloggers will be good for posting raw pics..

Now all of the cousins (10+, of which 4 or 5 were there) are grown and most have married, hang out probably like our parents did.
BEER COUNT: 3 or 4 Lions Head, 1 Sam Adams Scotch Beer (blech)



Monday we went to Sarahs family Picnic. That was a good time to since I show up and I see lots of kids on skateboards. Well the skateboards were of various sizes and the kids were just haveing fun with them(what else could you do with them?) I just so happened to have my board so I played with the kids most of the day...one kid had the basics of an ollie and I gave him some tips. Of course he wanted to do a kickflip right away. Whats with these kids wanting to do advanced stuff before they can do the basics... Lets see, we played with these plastic spinner things and we bought these cool ballons that you pupmp up and then the part hat you blow up on them is tight so they fly around and let the air out slower than normal balloons. They sound like fire works as they fly.
It took a while but I then found the yummy hoegorden beer...I'l post a link.

Giant Magazine — The Coolest in Entertainment.

I snagged another free sub to Giant Magazine.

I can tell you where to get it if you ask nice.

GIANT covers entertainment subjects with intelligence in a way that men and women can both enjoy. It reviews music, TV, tech, games, movies, and music, adds reviews of websites and books, and even provides footnotes that shed additional light on the articles. Interviewers get at the heart of the celebrities they are interviewing without looking for sensation, or innuendo-filled "sound-bites". Editorials have a healthy sense of humor and style without catering to society's lowest common denominators.
