2/21/2024 0 Comments Aarp opt out of mailings![]() I have given up trying to get off of many mailing lists. However, they never "did anything" for me so I dropped it. I signed up for AARP years ago when I was first eligible. Maybe the well get the message, maybe not. Let them pay the postage both ways for nothing. So, from now on when I get a piece of mail from AARP or one of their vendors with AARPs name on it I use that postage paid envelope and send back whatever came in it with my own little personal message! I have since requested that they remove my name from their mailing lists and was told that would happen but it has not. I got some much mail from them and mailers from insurance companies I dropped my membership after the first year. My wife signed me up for AARP about 4 years ago. I could be wrong, but I doubt that's happening.Īdditionally, people forget or don't know is that just as advertising on TV, in newspapers, and in magazines, pays a large portion of the cost, "junk mail" is what keeps the price of postage down. If they are not sent First Class, there are additional costs and data entry that needs to be made to update the mailing address list with forward and return address corrections. I'll look at our next mailing, but I believe they are sent bulk mail. We also recently got an AARP addressed to a first name I've never heard of in our family, but with our correct last name (which is OFTEN spelled wrong) and address? (We've been in our house over 15 years and there are no previous owners.) We started getting AARP before turning 50. These "successful returns" are used to determine the effectiveness of the mail solicitation." ![]() ![]() Another chain-breaker who works in a mail processing center for several of these companies reports that, whether filled with a complete application or with your trash, each envelope that is returned is counted as "a success" to the company. Mail solicitation is effective and businesses spend billions of dollars on it annually. "Doing what the chain letter suggests (returning the postage paid envelope) may give you some sort of satisfaction from giving the system a taste of its own medicine, but will likely do very little to reduce the amount of junk mail you receive.

2/21/2024 0 Comments Lvl flitch beam span tableOther manufacturers also make LVL engineered products, and all use similar processes for making engineered lumber. Weyerhauser referred to the product as “Microlam” for two years until then changed it to “Microllam.” Many still refer to Microlam when speaking of Microllam as they are frequently interchanged to identify all types of laminated veneer lumber. Microlam and Microllam refer to the same LVL product. Microlam is a common misspelling of Microllam, a Weyerhauser brand of engineered wood products. They are cut to size, wrapped, and prepped for storage or transportation. The process to get to a finished LVL beam starts with debarking the log, then rotary peeling the veneer to send the sheets to the jet tube dryers to reduce the moisture content to 8-10%.Īfter drying, the manufacturer grades the veneer sheets, gets a resin application, and compresses the sheets until dry. ![]() The most common wood used in LVL beams is Douglas fir. During World War II, plywood became an essential war material. There is recorded use by the Chinese, English, French, and Russians well before the 20th century, and it received its first patent in 1856. An LVL engineering process uses multiple layers of thin wood assembled with adhesives.Įngineered lumber was first seen in use as early as ancient Egypt. LVL is typically made in a factory, straighter, more uniform, and stronger than traditional milled lumber. The difference is that plywood changes the grain’s direction with each layer, and LVL keeps the grain direction the same. LVL stands for Laminated Veneer Lumber and is similar to plywood in appearance. ![]() Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: What is Laminated Veneer Lumber? (LVL) () 2/21/2024 0 Comments Dis sandra orlow model nude![]() Since then, she has numerous modeling gigs, while trying to stay up to date with her studies, ballet lessons and her hobbies. ![]() Her modelling career began with her appearance at the 48th MFJ Grand Prix, in Japan, in 2016.She was only 12 years old at that time and was looking like a real “race queen”. "If they enjoy looking at a kid baking cookies in a video and find that arousing, that's their own sickness, not ours," she said.Today is is already 21 and has grown a lot since she rose to fame, but one thing is for sure, her beauty only got better with age, here’s a picture of how she looks like now: Jessi's mother said she was "amazed" to learn that her daughter's website was linked on Fresh Petals, a forum dedicated to people attracted to prepubescent girls. The Webe Web sites are also featured on several adult search engines and pedophile links. She'll do a little killer wiggle and we hear him say quickly, 'What was that?' or 'Do that again!!!'"Īnother complained: "She's gotten too developed for my taste, I doubt I'll be an Amber fan anymore." Sometimes you can hear the photog get excited when he gives us what we/he want(s). She said the site is profitable.īut while Webe Web and Jessi's mother say they don't know what their demographic is, a quick peek at the girls' virtual fan clubs make it quite clear: men with nicknames such as " Cum ta Poppa."Īt one of Amber's fan clubs, "humberthaze" writes: "We only get glimpses of her potential when she does a bit of 'bump and g,' but then she quickly relapses into something awkward and childish. She said she didn't know who was buying pictures and videos of her daughter because she had no face-to-face interaction with customers. "There's so much smut on the Internet, we're completely on the opposite end of that," said the mother, who refused to give her name, referring to herself instead as "Jessi's mommy." The mother of "Jessi The Kid" insists her daughter's site is geared toward other children, and that her daughter enjoys planning the themes for the photo and video shoots. "Why else would someone pay to see kids in their underwear?" she asked. "These (girl-model) sites may be their way of getting around the law. "It's getting harder for pedophiles to function on the Internet," said Julie Posey, the director of Pedowatch. Groups such as Cyberangels and Pedowatch have picked up the slack by enlisting thousands of volunteers across the globe to scan the Internet for lurid images of children. The number of cases opened by the agency's Innocent Images National Initiative jumped 1,264 percent between 19, according to the FBI's website. ![]() The FBI, which declined to be interviewed for this story, is having a hard time keeping tabs on all the could-be child porn that is distributed over the Internet. "The girls model for each other, do each other's hair. Consider Tiffany Teen Model, where for $75, customers can purchase a this video of the 13-year-old and a friend cavorting in thong underwear. Some of the Webe Web images certainly push the arousal envelope, Aftab said. "Whatever any of these websites original intent might have been, it is pretty clear that they have been (put) up for an audience with pedophilic leanings," Sturges wrote. Sturges, reached by e-mail at a photo shoot in France, looked over the Webe Web sites and concluded that their purpose was less than innocent. Meanwhile, controversial photographer Jock Sturges continues to sell photographs of nude children despite an FBI raid, pickets by angry mobs and a grand jury investigation. It was the first such conviction dealing with this issue in which the genitals were not exposed. In a landmark 1995 case, a Pennsylvania man was sentenced to jail for possessing videotapes of young girls posing provocatively in skimpy clothing. While the law explicitly prohibits images of minors engaged in real or simulated sex, it also forbids depictions of children designed to elicit sexual arousal. "This is utterly and absolutely distasteful, and I think it would invoke child abuse, but it's probably not illegal," said Aftab. The images on sites such as Lil' Amber fall into a murky legal area, said Parry Aftab, a lawyer and the director of Cyberangels, an Internet safety and education group. 2/21/2024 0 Comments Things to do in seattle todayAttend a witches tea via Instagram / October 13Īnother spooky event this October at the haunted Hotel Sorrento in Seattle is Witches Tea on Friday, October 13.

Via Shutterstock Looking for spooky fall fun and Halloween events in Seattle? ![]() I have used AE since version 1.0 and aside from the creative things hat can be accomplished it has been nothing but a headache. And if even diehard win xp users didn't worry about using Motion and Apple's Production Suite, so it couldn't be any clearer!! The time of Adobe's Video Collection and After Effects is over that's sure!!! We have switched just 50% of all workplaces with new G5s and Apple's Production Suite. One thing is clear, after worrying years about After Effects on the Mac (and the PC), the direction is so clear, goodbye PC and goodbye AAE and Adobe Video Collection. Release 0.75 beta would be a better description. It's time for Adobe to rethink their Video Collection. Need I say more?Īnd since Encore DVD 1.5 is a crashing piece of software it was easy to give up the Adobe Video Collection and switch completely to the Mac with Mac OS X 10.3 and PowerMac G5s.Īnd the PCs were double CPU machines with many Gigs of RAM, too and the fastest available graphic cards. ![]() When I was working on Adobe After Effects I had to work 12 - 16 peer day, because a job goes only out the customer when it's done. One week with AAE means I have to wait till the rendered file is exported and only now I can start the next job. One week with Motion means I get timely home after 6 - 8 hours. You have to wait till it's ready to kick out the next job. No automated workflow supported (on the Mac and PC as well). Well, the QuickTime engine isn't used to it's full extend. So much wasted time it's absolutely incredible. I wonder how I could have worked all the last years with AAE. ![]() ![]() I think that stance both makes the hobby less approachable, and it also invites early errors – the number of help posts in the Prusa Facebook groups that can be summed up with “You assembled it badly” are myriad. I actually rather support this – there’s a undercurrent of belief in the 3D printing hobby that you “have” to assemble your own printer, and it’s one I disagree with. The 747, like it’s little brother, isn’t a kit machine – it comes essentially fully assembled. It’s less good for photographing finished pieces, but between the recycled PLA and the cardboard spools (and the relatively short distance it has to travel to get to me) I feel less bad about it. ![]() It’ll bump up to \$1345 if you add the removable flex plate and a filament runout sensor – things I had on the previous 289 review model, and which I’ll talk about whether or not I miss them once I’ve lived with the machine for a bit.įor the purposes of testing, I’m using primarily ProtoPasta’s recycled black PLA. I’m also not reviewing OctoPrint compatibility, because that would require a Raspberry Pi or similar, and those are rare as hen’s teeth right now.Īt time of writing, this configuration is \$1285. One could go without it if you’re either hooked up directly to a computer or running something like OctoPrint, but even then, I’d consider this effectively mandatory. The somewhat more sedate black coloring option, though it still has plenty of charmingly garish Lulzbot Green accents, a PEI-coated glass bed, the SK175 toolhead which is a 1.75mm filament toolhead with a 0.5mm brass nozzle, and a graphical LCD screen controller – this last piece is the one “add on” that makes the printer properly stand-alone. The review machine Lulzbot sent me is their SideKick 747 in what is close to a base configuration. The Machine Returns (Unboxing and Assembly) Configuration Details One of my comments in that review was that the small form factor of the 289 made the value proposition for it a little iffy compared to it’s bigger brother, the 747. Almost a year ago now, FAME (the parent company for Lulzbot) was kind enough to loan me a SideKick 289 3d printer for the better part of a few months to do a long-term use review of their…entry-level-ish FDM 3d printer. One thing that made it OK for us is the ability to transfer your characters from the first game over into the new experience."īeing able to port your character is a nice feature, but won't make up for not having the game on current generation hardware like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. "It's really a matter of when not if, we are a smaller studio and it was a really hard decision. To make the game at the level you see here we weren't able to port that to the old generation of consoles."Īsking further about this, and whether we may see a PS3 and Xbox 360 version eventually. "Unfortunately we had to make a hard decisions. I spoke to Creative Director Justin Wiebe about this.
