Here is part of my school project. This my first time using the forum.
The specs say, "Set array of InvoiceItem objects into the Invoice with the set method." So my code is:
public class ProcessInvoice { // The class will have one instance variable that holds an object of type Invoice. private Invoice banana = new Invoice(); // Set array of InvoiceItem objects into the Invoice with the set method banana.setItems(InvoiceItem[] items);
The corresponding code in another class is:
// Create a set method for the array of InvoiceItem objects. // This will take an array of type InvoiceItem and assign it to the instance variable. public void setItems(InvoiceItem[] items) { this.items = items;
Here are my error messages after trying to compile the class:
E:\projects>javac -classpath src\java111\project2 src\java111\project2\ProcessInvoice.java
src\java111\project2\ProcessInvoice.java:25: '.class' expected

Bob Woodward is a Washington Post investigative reporter and author, celebrated for his reporting, with Carl Bernstein, on the Nixon administration's Watergate scandal.
To his credit, unlike the many Obama toadies in the media, Woodward has not refrained from criticizing the POS, most recently over Obama's lie that "The sequester is not something that I've proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed."
When Woodward contacted a White House official to warn that he would be publicly questioning Obama's account of how the sequestration came about and the terms negotiated, the official (later identified as Obama's economic advisor Gene Sperling) "yelled at [him] for about a half-hour", and then made a vague threat, saying in a follow-up email that Woodward would "regret" publishing the report.
For reporting that thuggish threat, instead of supporting Woodward, his fellow journalists vilified him. Appearing on Current TV, reporter and Buzzfeed contributor Michael Hastings said: "There are people waiting for Woodward to die so they can dish stuff on him that they're too afraid to say now."
What we are witnessing is another instance of the viciousness of the Left. How dare Woodward betray his profession by criticizing The One?
Here's an essay by Peter Hitchens (brother of the late Christopher Hitchens), asking why the Left are so vicious. Though Hitchens is referring to Leftwingers in the UK, what he says applies also to Leftwingers in the U.S. and across the world. Remember V.I. Lenin, Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, and the ongoing nightmare of North Korea.
Sarah Silverman is a leftwing comedienne
Only Left-wingers could think killing and maiming is a giggle
By Peter Hitchens – Daily Mail – 23 February 2013
What is wrong with Left-wing people? Why are so many of them so filled with violent hatred of anyone who disagrees with them?
Why has so little attention been paid to the cruel, bloodstained words of John O'Farrell, the official Labour candidate in the Eastleigh by-election?
Mr O'Farrell, an alleged comedian, has not as far as I know repudiated or regretted a passage in a book he wrote at the age of 36, saying he wished Margaret Thatcher had died in the Brighton Bomb.
In case anyone had missed his point, he added later. 'I just hated her so very, very much.'
I am not, as it happens, a great admirer of Lady Thatcher myself. And I'm not above a bit of invective and mockery against the politicians I actively despise.
But it is the hate-filled violence of this passage that strikes me. What kind of person can write this, and then not cross it out in embarrassment?
This is not the only example of this sort of thing last week. The BBC has for many years tolerated a radio programme called 'The News Quiz' on which sniggering fun-revolutionaries (at your expense) are paid to amuse a sniggering Left-wing studio audience with babyish jests, under the guidance of a self-satisfied chairwoman who thinks she is cleverer than she is.
On a recent edition, a purported comedian referred to the Education Secretary, Michael Gove, as 'a foetus in a jar'.
This was the cue for an exchange in which Mr Gove was (very falsely) described as being friendless (I count him as a friend, though I disagree with him strongly, and so do many others in politics and journalism), and then as having 'a face that makes even the most pacifist of people reach for the shovel in anticipation of reshaping it'.
A sole Tory panellist, serving as a figleaf for the programme's blatant bias, was swiftly brushed aside when he tried to defend Mr Gove. The BBC's attempt to defend this malicious tripe is so wretched that I will do them a favour and not reproduce it.
In my experience, nasty, bullying people often attempt to disguise their true feelings as 'jokes'. So there it is, the modern Left displayed – a parliamentary candidate who publicly wished for the hideous, violent death of a woman, and is not ashamed, and a BBC programme that publicly discusses smashing a man's face with a shovel.
Both of these are supposedly jokes. But they are not. They are a symptom of a raging sickness of the soul that has the modern Left in its grip. They are so sure that they are right that they no longer think their opponents are human.
That way lie the torture cellar, the re-education camp and the firing squad, as the Left proves every time it gets enough power to show what it is really like. It's not funny.

Several token types can be returned by the reader. These are all enumerated in the
JsonToken enum and include
EndArray, and
HandleToken looks at the token type that is passed to it and takes appropriate action.
For each of the token types, I created a corresponding C# class. For a
String token, there is a corresponding
JsonString class. For an
Integer or
Float token, there is a
JsonNumber class. For objects, there is the
JsonObject class. For properties, there is the
JsonProperty class. And for arrays, there is the
JsonArray class. All these classes are derived from a base class that I call
JsonRoot. Because
jsonStack is a stack of
JsonRoot objects, any subtype can be pushed onto the stack.
HandleToken sees a
StartObject token, it creates a
JsonObject and pushes it onto
jsonStack. If
HandleToken sees a
StartArray token, it creates a
JsonArray and pushes it onto
jsonStack. If a
PropertyName token is seen, a
JsonProperty is created and pushed onto the stack.
If a
String is seen, a
JsonString is created. However, rather than immediately pushing the string onto the stack, I peek at the top of the stack and add the string to whatever
JsonArray, or
JsonProperty is there by calling the base class method
AddValue (defined in
JsonRoot). The string is then added to a list of
JsonRoot items maintained by the object, array, or property.
If the top of the stack is a
JsonProperty, the overloaded
AddValue method sets the string as the property's value. At that point, the property will have both a name and a value. It is popped off the stack and added to whatever is now on the top of the stack either another property or perhaps a
JsonArray or a
EndObject tokens cause the stack to be popped. The freshly popped object is then added to whatever is on top of the stack. If the item on top is a
JsonProperty, it, too, is popped off the stack and added to the next item on the stack.
Integers and
Floats are handled similarly to
Strings. Both are converted to doubles and stored in a
JsonNumber, which is then added to whatever is on top of the stack. If the top is a property, it is also popped and added to the next item on the stack.
An Example
After the final token is read, the top of the stack will contain a single object that is the root of a tree of objects (assuming that the JSON was well formed to begin with). Let's take a look at a small example. Here is some GIS data formatted as GeoJSON:
{ "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "properties": { "PIN": "123456789", "OWNER_NAME": "JOHN DOE", "OWNER_ADDR": "201 W MAIN STREET", "OWNER_CITY": "DENVER", "OWNER_STAT": "CO", "OWNER_ZIP": "80202", "LAND_VALUE": 1500, }, "geometry": { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [ [ [ -104.93463194899994, 39.74666194100007 ], [ -104.93472410299989, 39.746661817000074 ], [ -104.9347782879999, 39.746661743000061 ], [ -104.9348690409999, 39.746661620000054 ], [ -104.93486923799992, 39.746668218000082 ], [ -104.93487055899993, 39.746712491000039 ], [ -104.9347868239999, 39.746712625000043 ], [ -104.93477841599992, 39.746712639000066 ], [ -104.9347542669999, 39.746712677000062 ], [ -104.93472422899993, 39.746712725000066 ], [ -104.9347148899999, 39.746712740000078 ], [ -104.93463268599993, 39.746712871000057 ], [ -104.9346320439999, 39.746668489000058 ], [ -104.93463194899994, 39.74666194100007 ] ] ] } } ] }
The outermost curly braces indicate that the data is enclosed within a single object. That object has two properties:
type and
features. The
type property is the simple string
FeatureCollection, while
features is an array as indicated by the square bracket. Although it is an array, the
features property in this instance contains a single object. That object, in turn, contains three properties.
The first property is
type and its associated value indicates that the type is a
feature. The second property is called
properties (which admittedly is a bit confusing, but such is life). The third property is called
properties property is an array of strings giving the
OWNER_ADDR, and so forth that is, basic information about the
feature (here, a parcel of land). The
geometry property is a polygon that describes the boundaries of that parcel using the given coordinates (in latitude and longitude).
Parsing this, GeoJSON results in a tree where the root is a
JsonObject. This
JsonObject has a list of two
JsonObjects, both of which are
JsonProperty. The name of the first
JsonProperty is
type and its value is the string
The name of the second
JsonProperty is
features and its value is a
JsonArray. Within this
JsonArray is a single
JsonObject that, in turn, has a list of three
JsonProperties. The first corresponds to the
type property. The second corresponds to the
properties property. And the third corresponds to the
geometry property. Within the
geometry property are two
JsonProperties for the
type (a polygon) and the
coordinates (an array of latitudes and longitudes).
Using the Tree
Once I have constructed the tree, I can traverse it to satisfy the application's queries. Just as a stack was used to build the tree, a stack can also be used to traverse it. The root of the tree will either be a
JsonObject or
JsonObjects have properties, while
JsonArrays have elements. In both cases, these are modeled as a
List<JsonRoot> and the method
GetValues returns the list.
To start a traversal, push the root of the tree onto the stack. Then, immediately pop the stack and save it to another variable that we can call
node. Do something with the
node. Then call
node.GetValues() and push all the items in the list (the
node's children) onto the stack. Then repeat the loop and continue until the stack is empty. The general code is as follows:
if (_root == null) return; jsonStack.Clear(); JsonRoot node = null; JsonRoot current = _root; jsonStack.Push(_root); while (jsonStack.Count > 0) { node = jsonStack.Pop(); // *** do something with the node *** // process the node's children if (node.GetValues() != null) { foreach (JsonRoot v in node.GetValues()) jsonStack.Push(v); } }
Very large trees of JSON objects can be created quickly with a 64-bit .NET application. The only limitation is the amount of available memory (because the tree is held entirely in memory). Since all the objects are in memory, traversing the tree can be done very quickly. However, the tree is not indexed and further improvements can be made. One possibility would be to traverse the tree once and build an index. Future searches could then consult the index and retrieve
nodes directly, thus avoiding the time for traversing through the tree to locate the
Data is getting bigger, and getting that data from file to memory can be challenging. But once it is in memory, you can begin to manipulate it and do new and useful things with it for your customers and clients. Json.NET, as shown here, is a useful tool in this process.

The Equipment Equation
Bidding a maintenance job is an art for some and a science for others; a customized trade secret derived from years of historical data, experience and some costly lessons learned along the way. Although there are all sorts of methods to crunch the numbers, from estimating software to homegrown "guesstimate" formulas, accurate bidding remains one of the most crucial — and confusing — aspects of a startup landscape company's financial performance.
There are three main cost areas that a landscape contractor must recoup to be profitable: labor costs, equipment costs and general and administrative (G&A) overhead expenses. Many startup landscapers tend to focus on their biggest cost consideration — labor — without also accurately gauging their equipment operations rates: what it's really costing them, per hour, to have each piece of equipment out there mowing, mulching and moving dirt.
Equipment costs per hour will depend on the lifecycle of your equipment, your preventative maintenance schedule and, of course, those ever-rising fuel costs. And unlike G&A overhead expenses, which can be applied evenly as a percent markup or per-hour charge, equipment costs will vary by the amount and types of equipment used on each job site.
Experienced Estimating
One of the more popular estimating methods for landscape contractors is the "overhead bucket drop," where all annual equipment purchases and maintenance costs get dumped into a general overhead category, which is then broken down into a single per-labor-hour charge and distributed across every job throughout the year. This is a simple way to cover the equipment operation costs on most maintenance jobs, provided the landscape contractor keeps good historical records and updates the labor-hour rate as needed to maintain a steady net profit markup.
Ted Baker has been estimating maintenance jobs for almost 20 years, so he can step on almost any commercial property and generate that "magic number" within minutes. As the president of Baker Commercial Landscaping in Orlando, he'll estimate the monthly maintenance charge based on a per-labor-hour rate, which covers everything from labor, equipment and vehicle expenses, fuel costs, administrative office payroll and net profit markup.
"Any of my top employees could cost it out just as well," says Baker. "It requires a good feel for how many man-hours will be required to maintain the property every week, which you can only get from experience. Then our account managers select the equipment that can handle the job in that amount of time."
Most estimating systems and software programs also place equipment and vehicle costs (mowers, tractors, pickups, etc.) into the overhead category. This method works well for seasoned landscapers like Baker, who have a strong knowledge of the process and can tweak the individual cost components as they go.
But for other landscapers who might lack the decades of know-how and P&L statements to understand their operation costs, however, it's often difficult and unreliable to boil everything down to a single production or labor-hour rate. It's important to first understand all of the variables that affect operation cost — including equipment — before developing that "magic-number" formula that can be solidified through time and trial.
Calculating Equipment Cost-Per-Hour (ECPH)
The equipment cost-per-hour method is a great tool for understanding (and eventually recouping) the equipment costs for each mower, tiller or tractor used on a job site. When put together properly, it also helps you improve bidding accuracy and identify ways to maximize equipment expenditures throughout the year. Equipment cost-per-hour rates can be derived by adding together three variables:
- What it costs to own or lease (acquisition cost-per-hour);
- What it costs to maintain (maintenance cost-per-hour); and
- What it costs to run (running-time fuel consumption cost-per-hour).
1. To calculate acquisition cost-per-hour, divide the total price paid for the equipment (including interest) by the projected lifetime hours.
Using a walk-behind mower as an example:
|21-inch rotary mower purchase price:
|None (if paid for in cash)
|Lifetime hours:
|750 hours (2.5 hours/day, 5 days/week, 30 weeks/year for 2 years)
|Salvage Value:
|Acquisition CPH:
|$1,100 ÷ 750 hours = $1.47
Note: Cost out leased equipment the same way, simply adjusting the life expectancy, lifetime maintenance and fuel costs to account for the shorter term.
2. To calculate maintenance cost-per-hour, divide the estimated lifetime maintenance costs for that piece of equipment (repair, parts, labor, blades, spark plugs, oil changes, filters, etc.) by the lifetime hours. Your equipment dealer should have such data available. For this example, assume lifetime maintenance costs will be $600.
|Maintenance CPH:
|$600 ÷ 750 hours = $0.80
3. To calculate running-time fuel consumption cost-per-hour, determine how long one gallon of gas lasts for this piece of equipment. If all day (for two and a half hours used per day), divide the current price of a gallon of gas by 2.5 hours. You could also fill up the tank and divide the fill-up cost by the total running hours; either method will give you a fuel consumption rate.
|Fuel consumption CPH
|$2.50 per gallon ÷ 2.5 hours = $1.00
4. Now calculate total ECPH for the rotary mower by adding your costs together:
|Total ECPH
|$1.47 + $0.80 + $1.00 = $3.27 (round to $3.50)
Now let's find the ECPH for a compact tractor:
1. Calculate acquisition cost-per-hour by dividing the total price you paid for the tractor (including interest, minus the anticipated salvage value when you replace it) by the projected lifetime hours.
|Compact tractor purchase price:
|Interest (listed in the contract):
|Estimated salvage value:
|Life expectancy:
|3,000 (300 hours per year for 10 years)
Divide purchase price + interest — salvage value by projected lifetime hours:
($23,000 + 5,520 - 8,000) ÷ 3,000 hours
|Acquisition CPH:
|$20,520 ÷ 3,000 = $6.84
Note: Even if you buy used equipment, cost it out using the "new" purchase price. The CPH will generally be the same for new and used equipment, and useful life, repair and maintenance costs are easier to determine for new equipment. Using the new purchase price also automatically adjusts your equipment rates for inflation and price increases.
2. Calculate maintenance cost-per-hour by dividing the estimated lifetime maintenance costs for the tractor by the lifetime hours. Again, your equipment dealer should be able to provide this if you have no historical data. For this example we'll estimate the lifetime maintenance for the tractor to be $18,000.
|Maintenance CPH:
|$18,000 ÷ 3,000 = $6
3. Determine the running-time fuel consumption cost-per-hour. Let's say the cost of fuel and oil consumption is $3.75 per hour (1.5 gallons per hour at $2.50 per gallon).
Fuel consumption CPH $3.75
4. Now calculate total ECPH for the compact tractor by adding your costs together:
|Total ECPH
|$6.84 + $6.00 + $3.75 = $16.59
Even if you prefer to base your estimate on a per-labor-hour rate, the ECPH method prevents you from understating or overstating the actual equipment costs for the job being bid.
There are several ways to verify your ECPH figures:
Compare your hourly rates to those of your local equipment rental company. Reduce rental rates by 40 to 50 percent to remove their G&A overhead and net profit markup. Your CPH rates should be reasonably close to theirs.
Contact your local equipment dealer to verify maintenance costs, production rates, fuel consumption, lifetime hours, etc.
Contact the offices of your local Department of Transportation (DOT). They have manuals that contain CPH data for maintenance equipment, and will often share these figures for comparison purposes.
Reducing Your ECPH Rates
Armed with a better understanding of what your equipment really costs to operate every day, you can start finding ways to reduce this cost over time.
"Equipment expenses are built into our labor-hour rate, but we still track those costs very closely," says Mariano Cardozo, who handles equipment purchases and facilitates in-house equipment maintenance for Baker Commercial Landscaping. He recommends taking advantage of multi-unit discounts offered by some manufacturers. "This year we used [a] multi-unit discount program for commercial landscapers; so our zero-turns, walk-behinds, trimmers, and even the big stuff [compact tractors and skid steers] can be leveraged through the same dealer for a significant discount."
Although his equipment acquisition cost is now lower, Cardozo notes that the real savings comes from reduced maintenance costs. "It's a huge time and money saver for our mechanic to maintain a single line of equipment for our fleets. He has one phone call for service or overnight parts, and I have a single monthly invoice to track equipment costs. That's less downtime for our equipment, and less office time for me."
For fuel consumption savings, check with your local equipment dealer about new engine technologies such as Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) engines for zero-turn mowers, which optimize the fuel/air mixture to increase fuel efficiency by up to 20 percent. As with diesel engines, which also offer greater fuel economy, the initial price tag is higher for more efficient equipment.
You can also use the ECPH method to develop a better understanding of which equipment will lower your field operation costs over time. By matching up the purchase price of several products against long-term variables such as annual maintenance costs and serviceability, production rates, fuel costs, etc, the ECPH will confirm an ancient truth in the landscaping business: You get what you pay for.
Now you can be sure your customers get exactly what they pay for when it comes to equipment costs.

Does your friend still use a Hotmail account, or worse, an AOL account? Google might be able to help you stage an "email intervention."
"On the Gmail team, we affectionately refer to them as 'email interventions,'" writes Peter Harbison, product marketing manager at the Official Gmail Blog. "We hear about them all the time: the cousin who finally switched from an embarrassing address like hottie6elliot1977 to a more professional firstname.lastname@example.com, a co-worker who helped his dentist switch after he heard her grumble about having to pay for IMAP access, etc."
The web-based email client, Gmail, promises those who land on its site, EmailIntervention.com, less spam, more storage space, faster search and a complete transfer of messages and contacts from an old account.
U.S. & World
While some have been calling Google's latest strategy aggressive and "not funny," it's a necessity if Google expects to grow. While grabbing those new to email helps, there are likely millions of people who started email accounts in junior high and never bothered to switch. Funny or not, hitting user targets is a worthwhile goal -- and then those converts can be leveraged into Google+.

A tip came in about a small, but glamorous condo in Oliver.
The tipster described it as being like a living jewelry box - the kind of place you'd see in New York, or in a magazine.
Apt description, it turns out. Jean and Dan McCloskey's one-bedroom condo is not large, by any means. It's about 800 square feet. Jean calls it rightsized.
The couple lived for 25 years in a larger place in the same building. But then they considered a second home in Victoria, where they might escape Edmonton's winter for a few months.
In the end, two rightsized places - one here, one there - trumped a single large condo for the retired couple.
But it's not like the McCloskeys just divided up the furniture and moved it into their new spaces. Nor did the Oliver condo look like a jewelry box at the start. The creative ethic at play here is all Jean's.
Jean studied design for a time at the University of Alberta while Dan was still working.
Dan retired in 1986. Jean works still, as executive director of the couple's condo building.
The first and lasting impression of the building itself is of white-glove care and grandeur. Jean meets me in the foyer and is warm and welcoming. Once at her suite, she allows me to venture in ahead of her.
The entryway is astonishing. The initial view is of a naturally lit, angled hall. The left-hand wall is gallery-like, in its display of a series of paintings.
The right wall angles in and out, creating small spaces for Jean to play with. At first, there's a slipper chair and small writing desk. Then a leather corner seat, fitting snugly into the next alcove. A couple steps down and across the hall is an art deco chest below a pewter deer head.
Across and down from it is a large mirrored pedestal for a polar-bear sculpture. On the walls are numerous paintings by Jean's sister, Marilyn Dyer.
All around are sculptures, vases or decorative furnishings acquired over the years on Dan and Jean's travels.
The hallway opens up bit by bit until ... ta-da, the condo proper, with its exposed kitchen and living room. No, it's not large. But every square inch is utilized as living and display space for Jean's creative vision.
Gone are the original wall mirrors, shag rugs and white cabinetry. The floors are now dark, glossy porcelain tile.
The white walls are accented by dark woods in the kitchen. The upper cabinets feature artisan-glass inserts, lit from inside.
The fridge is also rightsized - hidden in the lower counter, with slide-out drawers. Meanwhile, the countertop range sits below an eye level convection oven.
The facing love seats in the living room are pearl-coloured leather. Next to them is a white leather wing chair. All this next to an authentic-looking stone fireplace blazing with electric imagery. The TV, if you're wondering, is in the bedroom.
The stone, wood and leather are foundations around which Jean splashes her design touches.
The place is tastefully adorned with sculpture, painting and blown glass. Notable is the silvered coral. The chromed, art deco globe. The tall, distressed, milk-bottle vase.
Jean says she will see something that appeals to her and bring it home. Inevitably, Dan is dubious.
"He says, don't do it - it won't look good," says Jean. But when Jean puts it in place, it seems like it was destined.
Notable in the condo is Jean's eclectic mix of styles - from Spanish and Aztec to art deco and Zen.
Where do her ideas come from? "In my head," is all Jean can say. "Anything that appeals to me, or speaks to me.
"People do say this looks like something from New York. I just think of it as home."

On Wednesday, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted on partisan lines to bring contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder for not complying with subpoenas to turn over documents related to the "Fast and Furious" gun-running scandal. As the vote now moves toward a full House vote, however, Attorney General Holder is indicating that he wants to negotiate, a notion House Republicans are willing to accept.
Congress has been investigating the Fast and Furious operation for well over a year, and has grown infuriated with Holder's refusal to adequately comply with the investigation. The New York Post explains, "Holder has provided 7,600 documents while the [House Government and Oversight] Committee has issued subpoenas asking for tens of thousands more over a botched federal program that resulted in guns getting into the hands of Mexican criminals."
Holder has defended his refusal to hand over documents for the congressional investigation by asserting that it would violate the "separation of powers."
Congress did receive thousands of documents from the Department of Justice, many of which were irrelevant to the investigation, and others of which were redacted. As noted by The New American's Alex Newman, the DOJ supplied less than 10 percent of the documents that were requested for the investigation.
The controversy surrounding Holder's unwillingness to turn over those Fast and Furious documents escalated when President Obama claimed "executive privilege" over the documents. According to CNSNews.com, "The assertion came just before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee scheduled vote on holding embattled Attorney General Holder in contempt of Congress."
CBS News explains, "By asserting executive privilege, the Justice Department can withhold documents from Congress, even if Congress has issued a subpoena, as the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has."
Naturally, Obama's declaration of executive privilege has some wondering exactly what sort of stake the president has in this scandal.
Oversight Committee member Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) noted that executive privilege is typically reserved for communications at the highest levels of the White House. Therefore, the use of it in this scandal implies that the president may have had knowledge of the Fast and Furious operation. He told CNSNews.com,
If you look at how executive privilege has been historically interpreted, it's designed to protect the inner workings of the White House, the president talking to his advisors. It's usually involved at the highest levels. And so it's troubling if they're trying to invoke it into every agency or every discussion within an agency. That certainly isn't indicative of the most transparent administration in history, and it creates real problems for this committee.
The other issue is, if it did go all the way up to the White House, there's a problem there because you have Holder having testified under oath that he hadn't talked to the president. You've had the president on Univision saying he didn't know about it. So, to invoke executive privilege in the White House, that brings those statements into question.
Still, House Republicans have indicated they are willing to compromise if more emails and memos are turned over, and Holder has responded that he is open to negotiation.
"I think the possibility still exists that it can happen in that way," Holder said. "The proposal that we have made is still there. The House, I think, the House leadership, has to consider now what they will do, so we'll see how it works out."
Members of the House Oversight Committee indicate that they would like to see some additional documents relevant to Fast and Furious, in addition to "signs of good faith," before they are satisfied.
The Boston Globe reports:
The latter could include substantive responses to future committee requests for documents; reforming the approval process for wiretap applications; acknowledging mistakes in misleading Congress about Fast and Furious; taking whistle-blowers seriously; and producing a log of documents to be turned over, according to the officials, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the issue by name.
But such negotiations would necessitate the White House abandoning its executive privilege. If the White House refused to do so, the issue would likely lead to court battles that would not be resolved in the near future.
House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor state that a full House vote will take place next week if a compromise is not reached. If the full House votes to approve the Holder contempt citation, a full-blown federal criminal case would likely be launched against him.
House Democrats are accusing Republicans of engaging in political theatrics by going forward with the contempt vote. Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings, who also sits on the House Oversight Committee, complained that the vote is "an extreme, virtually unprecedented action based on election-year politics rather than fact."
The guns that were permitted to "walk" across the border to Mexican drug cartels under Operation Fast and Furious were later involved in a number of different murders, including that of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Likewise, documents obtained by CBS News revealed that officials in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (still known as ATF) had discussed using Fast and Furious to institute controversial new rules about gun sales.
According to CBS News, "ATF officials didn't intend to publicly disclose their own role in letting Mexican cartels obtain the weapons, but emails show they discussed using the sales, including sales encouraged by ATF, to justify a new gun regulation called 'Demand Letter 3.' That would require some US gun shops to report the sale of multiple rifles or 'long guns.'"
Had not ATF whistle-blower Vince Cefalu revealed that the ATF had secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to Mexican drug cartels, the Fast and Furious scandal might never have been exposed, and the stricter gun regulations might now be in place. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Cefalu, who had been with the agency for 24 years, was fired, though the ATF denied that his termination was in any way connected to retaliation.
Regardless of the worthiness of any protracted legal battles over Fast and Furious, however, the Boston Globe notes that history "suggests the matter won't get that far." For example, when contempt charges were brought up against Attorney General Janet Reno, they never even reached a full House vote.
And despite the House GOP's 1½-year-long investigation into the matter, and the Justice Department's seemingly unmovable stance on producing the documents necessary to complete the investigation, House Republicans are now contending that a few hundred additional documents may be enough to satisfy them.
Given the depth of this scandal, the high levels of government it reached, and the horrific consequences of Operation Fast and Furious, most analysts agree that any compromise that does not involve the prosecution of those responsible would be viewed as a sell-out of American principles.

9 Top Cosmetic Treatments for Aging Skin
Lifting skin on the face, neck, eyelids, and forehead may give a tighter appearance. What were once traditionally open procedures larger incisions now be done endoscopically, with smaller incisions strategically used in difficulttodetect areas, including under the hairline. The procedures can manage a few thousand dollars; facelifts were the costliest cosmetic procedure in 2008, by having an average cost of $7,007, in line with the AACS. The results of plastic surgery are somewhat permanent. "Let's say an individual looks Decade younger" due to having surgery, Guyuron says. "That individual is likely to look Decade younger for the remainder of their life. What we're doing is we're turning the hands of time back, but we aren't stopping the time."

On November 6, 2008 at approximately 9:42 P.M., Waterloo Police Officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at The Kwik Stop, located at 1761 Independence Avenue. The robbery was reported after three black males entered the convenience store and one displayed a handgun. They demanded cash from the clerk and also took a cellular phone from a customer at gunpoint. The suspects then fled the store with an undisclosed amount of money. All three were wearing hooded sweatshirts.
No injuries were reported. The incident remains under investigation.

Last night, I went and saw "The Monuments Men," a dramatization of the very real efforts to save Europe's art and cultural history from Nazi looting and destruction. As a fine art lover this is a historical event (an ongoing one) that has me riveted, so I am right in the target market for this film. However, while I love to see Bill Murray and George Clooney mugging for the camera as much as anyone, I left feeling disappointed and manipulated (and I wasn't alone). It was so propagandistic that it could have been made in the 1950s, and you wouldn't have had to change much. Meanwhile, the art itself takes a back seat (often literally, there are many scenes of crated art being pushed onto trucks), so the characters have to airily expound about the importance of art without, you know, showing people why it's so important.
I bring this up because I believe most thinking Christians going to see "Son Of God," currently in theaters, would feel much as I felt leaving that film. Because when you already believe in something, you become immune from many of the tricks of art used to get people to identify with a character or cause. You recognize it as a tool of evangelization, and you leave disappointed that you weren't surprised, challenged, or shown some new way of seeing something you know intimately. As one secular critic put it, it's a film about Jesus that makes you almost long for the over-the-top horror-show that was "Passion of the Christ."
"Gibson's barking mad Passion of the Christ at least had vigor, vision, madness — something to say, even if that thing was just "more wounds!" and "Jews!" Son of God is a narrative shambles, more thudding than thunderous, shot with no spirit or distinction, always feeling like a sprawling TV miniseries cut up to fit into theatrical running time. That's no surprise, considering this is a distillation of The Bible, the basic-cable event from 2013. At the opening we see flashbacks, with voiceover, to the stories of Noah, Moses, and Abraham — surely the first time that the New Testament has kicked off with a 'previously on . . .'"
Truly good religious films are difficult, because they are usually made by believers. Believers want to be accurate, they want to be true to the text, they want their protagonists (largely) unsullied and the villains clearly evil. That's great when you're making films about comic book characters, but it's terrible when you want to strike for something deeper. Films about religion, by their very nature, promise to strike at something deeper. So when a film like this, quote, "treats the audience like first-timers, all but having a pastor step on screen to explain the meaning of every re-created parable — and the smugness of a parent serving broccoli" you know you're making a disposable product (albeit one that will no doubt make a lot of money thanks to the millions of Christians in the United States).
All this said, I didn't come here to pile on about the badness of "Son Of God," but to serve a warning: A Pagan equivalent will no doubt be just as bad. Such a film, let's call it "Horns Of Pan," would no doubt fall into the same trap. Now, Pagans and polytheists have seen a growing number of fantasy films and television series that allude to gods, the occult, or religion in the ancient world, and there are more coming (at least if you believe Neil Gaiman). Eventually, enough points will converge, and a "real" Pagan film will roll into production. Will it be Starhawk's "The Fifth Sacred Thing"? Or perhaps an adaptation of one of the many Pagan-themed novels that have done moderately well? I can't say, but I feel fairly confident in my ability to predict its reception outside our interconnected communities (unless something truly remarkable happens).
Two of my favorite films about religion weren't made for true believers: Wim Wenders' "Wings of Desire," and Robin Hardy/Anthony Shaffer's "The Wicker Man" (though I love both for very different reasons). If either of these much-lauded classics had to run a gauntlet of pleasing a religious community, they would have either never been made, or would have turned out so different as to be unrecognizable. They certainly wouldn't be picked up by new generations of film-lovers and held up for their artistry or ability to move us. So, as much as I love my religious community, I fear the day I have to watch and review a film of "ours" that's "made it" to wide distribution.
For every good religious film, and I'll leave you to make your own list, there are countless pious messes. When film stops being an artistic medium guided by visionaries, and instead starts serving a cause, you end up with movie goers attending out of duty, to prove some point instead of holding up excellence (or even entertainment).
"Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church is one of many religious leaders urging churchgoers to become moviegoers. 'In fact, I told my church, 'If you have to choose between church and movie, go see the movie this weekend," he told CBS News' John Blackstone. 'Let's send a message to Hollywood," he said. 'Not every movie has to be a Bible movie, but when they do come out, let's support that, for sure.'"
That isn't art. That's activists mobilizing their purchasing power to enshrine a cultural product that doesn't deserve it, and ten years from now, no one will be singing this work's praises. No matter how rich the producers of "Son Of God" get off of Christian dollars, it won't make much of a difference in the world of film, or in the world of Christianity. So I urge Pagans to be careful what they wish for, and what they work for. Let Pagan filmmakers craft their own visions, and if their work rises up to the mainstream on merit, then celebrate it. But let's not fall into the "Son Of God" trap, because nobody wants to see "Horns Of Pan," no matter how great the special effects are. I don't want "Pagan" films, I want good films, great films.

Android-x86 CyanogenMod 13.0 RC1 (x86/x64) – для установки Android на ПК
Android-x86 – модицифированная версия Android Open Source Project (AOSP), для установки Android на ноутбуках/ десктопных ПК с чипами AMD и Intel.
Последняя версия Android теперь доступна для установки на компьютеры и ноутбуки. На последних эта операционная система отлично смотрится благодаря хорошей экосистеме приложений.
Android-x86 (formely known as Patch Hosting for Android x86 Support) is a free, open source project that allows you to run Android on x86 operating systems. It is a port of the well-known Android Open Source Project led and offered for free by Google. The new Android-x86 software helps people use the Android operating system on a laptop or desktop computer. Though the software has its merits, it is also somewhat flawed. Lets dig into the details of Android-x86.
The Android-x86 software allows the mobile Google Android operating system to function on devices that are powered by AMD x86 / Intel processors rather than RISC-based ARM chips. However, it is important to point out that this software is not officially sponsored by Google. Those who would like a single Linux-based operating system to run on all of their devices will find that Android-x86 is a solid alternative.
The benefit to running Android on each device is that it allows you to keep all of your apps, settings and Google services aligned. Thankfully Android-x86 makes this happen without too many major obstacles. The new version of Android-x86 is fairly intuitive and easy to learn. It runs much faster than previous versions of Android on dedicated hardware. Use it on a variety of computing devices from netbooks to tablets and beyond and you'll likely be content with its performance Hardware acceleration is now available for Vmware ad Nvidia chips. A new Hal sensor even supports GPS.
Android-x86 should be lauded for its ability to seamlessly run the Android operating system on a laptop or desktop powered by AMD x86 / Intel processors. However, some users will be frustrated with the software's flaws and unreliability. If you aren't in any hurry to use your Android system on your traditional computers, it might be prudent to wait until the next version of Android-x86 is released.

Sex can be one of the most intimate and bonding experiences two people can have ... but it can also be a time fraught with uncertainty, irritation and ... LIES! C'mon, we've all lied occasionally about, during, or after sex. "Was it good for you?" can really only be followed by, "Of course it was, honey," unless you want to break up. If it wasn't, bring it up later (gently) in the therapist's office. Here's 15 ways we lie about sex.
1. Being on birth control. Sadly, women do lie about birth control sometimes. One woman confesses to telling her husband she is NOT on birth control even though she is. They mutually decided to have a baby, but after they hit financial and relationship problems, she decided it wouldn't be a good idea. But when she tried to bring up going back on bc again, she says he "knows he'll be mad and upset and think we're breaking up or something."
2. Not being on birth control. Probably the most dangerous sex lie a woman can tell -- secretly trying to get yourself impregnated is never a good idea. Whether it's to hold a relationship together, to twist a proposal out of a guy, or to just have a baby cause you're ready and he's not -- STEER CLEAR of this major lie!
3. Of course I'm clean. New couples should have STD talks with each other -- but usually it takes the form of, "Have you ever been tested?" and then the other person says, "Of course I have. I'm totally clean." In reality, you don't know unless the person shows you test results! And believe me, people lie about it. Some even go so far as to lie when they know they do have an SDT. A model is suing her rich ex after discovering she had herpes, which she believes he gave her.
4. You're the best lover I've ever had. Might be true. But if not, you'll say it anyway.
5. You're the first lover I've ever had. Not everyone lies about this, but some do for some strange reason.
6. Sorry, got my period. One of those sneaky little fallback lies women rely on when they're not in the mood. Some guys don't care and will grab you anyway, but enough do get skeeved that it can be reliably used as an avoidance tactic.
7. Nope, not on my period. For the lady who wants some nookie but is afraid her menses-sensitive guy won't comply if he knows she's flowin', she can just do a clean up and act like she doesn't have it. By the end of the period, should be good for 15 minutes at least. If she leaks, she can be all, "Oh my goodness, I didn't realize!"
8. I never fantasize about anyone else. Right.
9. I never masturbate. Okaaaay.
10. I love giving blowjobs. Usually said in the courtship period.
11. Your penis is huuuuge!
12. It tastes great.
13. You smell great.
14. That feels great. Yeah, even when he's pinching your nipples like a toddler death-gripping a favorite toy.

The Renault Megane Renaultsport might have scooped the top-priced hot hatch accolade in the 2014 What Car? Awards, but Renault clearly thinks it needs a helping hand if it's to keep rivals such as the VW Golf GTI and Ford Focus ST at bay.
To that end it's been given a face-lift. Exterior changes include a new front bumper, bonnet and vent grilles, along with new elliptical headlights and different daytime running lights.
Thankfully, Renault has adopted the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mentality with the oily bits, which is very good news indeed because the Megane Renaultsport has always been exceptional to drive. Emissions and economy are also unchanged.
However, the entry-level Cup trim, which brought firmer suspension and a limited slip differential, has been ditched. These extras – along with black alloys, uprated brakes and red calipers – are now available as part of a Cup Chassis Pack, which adds £1350 to the standard car's £26,925 list price. The test car shown here was fitted with said Pack.
What's the 2014 Renault Megane Renaultsport like to drive?
As fantastic as ever. The turbocharged 2.0-litre engine really likes to rev and delivers its power in a delightfully linear fashion and with a suitably rorty soundtrack. This is a hot hatch that's genuinely fast in a straight line.
You'll appreciate the Cup Pack's differential when tackling a twisty road. The Megane Renaultsport is so agile, grippy and composed, it'll carry ridiculous pace into and through a bend, while wheelspin is kept to a minimum if you apply full power on the way out. In fact, even on the soaking wet Surrey roads we tested it on, the test car had very little trouble getting its 261bhp down onto the road.
The steering gives you a great idea of how much grip there is, and the superb body control and strong brakes are hugely confidence inspiring.
The optional (£1000) 19-inch alloys on our car mean the ride is undeniably firm, but Renaultsport has somehow managed to make sure most bumps are quashed with minimal fuss.
Yes, there's a bit of wind noise on the motorway and the wide tyres kick up a racket on coarse surfaces. Like the firm ride, refinement is far from unacceptable; you just need to make sure you can put up with it on a daily basis.
What's the 2014 Renault Megane Renaultsport like inside?
The Renaultsport seats are superbly supportive, and the steering wheel and pedals are perfectly aligned, so the driving position is pretty much spot-on.
Things are less impressive in the rear seats, where six-footers will want a bit more head- and kneeroom. Storage space is good and the boot is surprisingly deep, but you'll have to lift your bags over a high lip and through a narrow opening.
Over-the-shoulder visibility is poor. You'll certainly be glad that rear parking sensors are standard, but you really need to pay attention and check your blind spots when changing lanes on the motorway.
Aside from a couple of slightly lightweight switches, everything feels solid. The infotainment system brings sat-nav and Bluetooth as standard, but it isn't the most intuitive to use.
Should I buy one?
The Megane Renaultsport is still brilliant to drive, delivering an adrenaline rush that few rivals can match. True, the Volkswagen Golf GTI demands fewer compromises – it's quieter, more comfortable and has lighter controls – but if you want a hot hatch purely for driving thrills, the Megane is a better option.
However, where the Cup version used to cost £25,545, you now have to fork out £28,275 for essentially the same car, albeit with a bit more kit. That's £2000 more than the VW Golf GTI 3dr, which will hold its value better.
You could spend £1350 less by going for the standard Megane Renaultsport, which is still an accomplished thing, but the Cup Pack really is worth the extra. It's just a shame that the final asking price is now so much higher.

No Happy Ending
Ozzie put it best when he said he didn't know if the Sox "played very good or not that good" in last night's 9-5, 14-inning loss to the sizzling Washington Nationals.
Comebacks in the ninth (Mark Teahen's three-run homer tied the game at three), 10th (a bases loaded wild pitch that evened the score at five) and the 12th (a two-out, two strike homer by A.J. Pierzynski to make it 5-5), showed that the Sox had some grit. The kind of ability to come back that we've rarely seen so far this season.
On the other hand, we witnessed some negatives that proved to be fatal. There were multiple missed opportunities with men in scoring position, including the failure to score the winner with the bags full and one out in the 10th. And there was the crucial throwing error by Alexei Ramirez that Teahen couldn't handle at first (pictured above), which opened the door to four unearned runs in the 14th.
All in all, good or bad?
Bad, of course, because we lost and blew the chance to reduce Cleveland's division lead to 3 1/2 games. That said, there was a silver lining with the impressive three comebacks and the fact the Indians, Tigers, Twins and Royals all lost.
Keeping it positive, remember this: The Sox have won all three interleague series–against the Dodgers, Diamondbacks and Cubs–but have dropped the series opener in each case.

Typical Dialogue:
"The spirits foretold your arrival. I hope this does not disturb you. The spirits are all-seeing and all-knowing, and I am their medium."
"Druids? What to they know of the Spirit World? Where I not too occupied with my projects here, I would spend my days in sport hunting them as they tried to stumble through the ethereal plane."
"Tell your master, Quirad, that I already have plans for that beast, and that he would be wise not to challenge me."
Adriala was born in Dauren, but had no soon as she completed her apprenticeship with the old Master Henkill, that she was arrested and imprisoned. Henkill was charged with commerce with the Shadow World, and his apprentices were assumed to be tainted by his work. Ultimatly, Henkill arranged for the possession of the court magistrate, and was soon found innocent. Nevertheless, Adriala took her own revenge. She placed a curse upon the daughter of the ducal bailiff who then threw herself off of a cliff into the cold waters of the Dauren Arm. She was witnessed by a noblemen on the hunt, and when he proved able to resist a charm, a curse, and the attack from a friendly spirit, Adriala took to the road. She began to build a network of sources in Rohrmarch, where she ran afoul of the Sayer of Coullabhie. She tried to remove him from the picture by means of an alliance with the unseelie court in the Shadow World, but the Sayer proved able to deal with those challenges and was well on his way to capturing Adriala when she fled to the Shadow World. There she remained for nearly five decades of time as we account for it in the physical world. When she emerged she had not appeared to have aged a day, but mysterious white streaks in her hair revealed that something strange had happened to her.
She spent some time in Anuire, passing herself off as a wizard specializing in divination. During this time she served as the court mage in Ghieste, then in Osoerde. Neither of those realms having experienced happiness and prosperity, demand for Adriala's service was negligable. Adriala decided to settle among less sophisticated folk, to allow her some measure of secrecy and made her way to the Taelshore. There she encountered the welcome of the devious Eorl of Yvarre, Fulgar the Bold. Adriala assisted Fulgar by placing curses on his enemies, disturbing their dreams, and spying on them by means of spirits. Fulgar had already employed the services of a Khinasi necromancer, the exile Qurad al-Din, and when Fulgar siezed the throne of Rjuvik, the two spellcasters were allowed to pluck as many sources away from the Emerald Spiral as they pleased.
Adriala keeps to herself for the most part, though she does regularly meet with Fulgar, pay a small tribute to the Eorls of the provinces in which her sources are located, and she usually appears at Fulgar's military battles. In order to keep the druids off balance, she encourages the rumors that she from a different plane of existence and that her mastery over the Shadow World is native. Sketa of Aandvjor, Jarlless of Aandvjor, has recently completed her apprenticeship with Adriala and returned to Aandvjor.

No walk-thru: Around the apt. in 80 days
"Dear Friend," Katie McCarthy's letter begins. "Help! Justice." Continuing in that breathless tone, McCarthy goes on to summarize a dispute with her former landlords, Ernestine and Frederic Westervelt, over– what else?– a security deposit. As frequent readers are aware, security-deposit disputes appear to be almost as common as complaints about Lethal Wrecker.
McCarthy moved into a cottage on the Westervelts' property, Milton Farm, on June 30, 2002. "I was so grateful to get the place," she says, that she overlooked what she claims was a "grossly filthy" refrigerator with mildew, "dirty" windows, and a "very dirty" stove with missing parts.
The Westervelts strongly disagree with her assessment. The cottage, they claim, was clean and in good condition.
"She was not one of our better tenants," Ernestine comments.
McCarthy claims, in both her letter and our interview, that both Westervelts "refused" to do a walk-through upon move-in. Even so, when problems arose, McCarthy acknowledges that they were addressed. When the air conditioner failed, for instance, the Westervelts "very quickly" replaced it.
McCarthy admits she wasn't a flawless tenant. For one, she got a dog while living there, and it chewed the front-door frame. She also cracked a window. However, she arranged a deal with the next tenant in which he agreed to repair those items, and indeed they don't appear on the list of damages she eventually received from the Westervelts.
"Eventually" is the key word here: Although McCarthy moved out on June 2 (or, according to the Westervelts, June 3), she didn't receive their list of damages and deductions until more than 80 days later. In a letter dated August 23, the Westervelts wrote, "The final costs related to terminating your lease in Cottage #1, which you vacated in June, are now at hand." A list of damages followed, which totaled $720– $45 more than McCarthy's $675 deposit.
The largest item? The Westervelts are claiming $450 for "restoration" of the bathtub– they say she damaged it by leaving a bathmat in it. McCarthy strongly disputes this. But this could be beside the point. According to the Code of Virginia, the landlord shall notify the tenant in writing of any deductions... to be made from the tenant's security deposit... within 30 days.
So are the Westervelts 50 days too late to complain? The fine print of the law (55-248.15:1) stipulates that the landlord has 30 days from "the date of the determination of the deduction."
The Westervelts claim that's exactly why it took until late August to notify McCarthy of the cost. "We had to wait," Ernestine says, "until we could find someone to give us prices."
Since the most specialized work would be repairing the tub's finish, however– a service advertised by seven local or regional companies in the Charlottesville Yellow Pages– a judge might question an 80-day delay. At least this part of the law is clear: "If the landlord willfully fails to comply with this section, the court shall order the return of the security deposit and interest thereon to the tenant."
In addition, the Westervelts deny that they refused to do a walk-through when McCarthy moved in– but claim that they shouldn't have been expected to, since they'd seen the cottage the day before, when the prior tenant moved out. "We weren't accustomed to having to do that," said Frederic, who seemed to view such an idea as frivolous.
This story illustrates one compelling reason for doing an initial walk-through: all parties can agree– preferably in writing– on the property's condition. If the Westervelts and McCarthy had done that, a great deal of angst and delay could have been avoided.
McCarthy is considering a suit in Albemarle County District Court, and the Westervelts have contacted their lawyer, Herbert Pickford. Stay tuned. When the dust settles, I'll let you know how things turned out.
In the meantime, tune in next week, when I'll report on one man's day in court with– you guessed it– Lethal Wrecker.

I do this for Maria who has an Aaron Paul problem...
Here he is in Spain shooting A Long Way Down with Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, and Imogen Poots. These are four people who bond over the fact that they were about to throw themselves off a building. Aaron looks really cute, right? And Maria is totally imagining him having a work crush on Poots, right?
He adores the fiancée. Just because he's super expressive about how much, and how grateful he is that she loves him back, doesn't mean she doesn't. Don't worry, Maria (and all you others because I get your emails, I know you're out there). He's gonna be OK.

Thrilled as she was to be racing again, Lindsey Vonn began Friday hoping for a victory, no matter how unrealistic that might have been 10 months after major knee surgery and less than three weeks after partially re-tearing a ligament.
As it turned out, she felt some jitters in her first competition since a February fall and skied conservatively by her standards, finishing 40th of 60 starters in a World Cup downhill.
"I'm always a positive thinker. I try to look on the bright side of everything, and I was really optimistic that I could come down and just — first race, right out of the blocks — win, and it was wishful thinking. But might as well shoot for the best, you know?" Vonn said.
"I was just too nervous. I was really tight, and I skied that way. I skied tight," she explained. "I wasn't in a really deep tuck. I wasn't pushing the line where I could have. And I just kind of skied it, and that's not my style. That's not how I attack a race."
Still, the reigning Olympic downhill gold medalist took an important step in preparation for the Sochi Games by racing for the first time since her high-speed crash at the world championships tore two ligaments in her right knee and broke a bone in that leg.
A fall during practice Nov. 19 in Colorado delayed her comeback.
The American finished in 1 minute, 59.22 seconds Friday, more than three seconds behind friend and rival Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany, who covered the course in 1:56.03 for her first victory of the season. Hoefl-Riesch was the 2011 overall World Cup champion and a double gold medalist at the 2010 Olympics.
"I was expecting a lot more, but that's just who I am," Vonn said. "I hope to win every race I enter. It's just not that simple."
Marianne Kaufmann-Abderhalden of Switzerland was second in 1:56.73, with Elena Fanchini of Italy third in 1:57.23. Lara Gut of Switzerland, who began the day leading the overall standings, was 10th.
Vonn missed the previous 14 World Cup races, including the first five this season. She had been aiming to return to action last week at Beaver Creek, Colo., not far from her hometown of Vail, but she scrapped those plans after damaging her repaired ACL in last month's crash.
Still, she was pleased to make her comeback at Lake Louise, where she entered Friday with a seven-race winning streak dating to 2010. That included three-victory sweeps in 2011 and 2012, and her 14 career wins at a place some have nicknamed "Lake Lindsey" are a World Cup record for one skier at any venue.
Indeed, over the 12 previous Lake Louise races, Vonn never placed lower than second, with nine victories and three runner-up finishes.
But what truly mattered on this day was that Vonn was wearing a race bib, in the starting gate, and speeding down the hill at all, her right knee protected by a brace under her suit.
"It's been a long time," she said.
Vonn said she will enter Saturday's downhill and Sunday's super-G.
"To be honest, we didn't expect her to win this race. A lot of people do, just because she has so many times," U.S. Ski Team women's speed coach Chip White said. "But with all she's been through, we're just happy to see her back in the mix, and I think this is where we build from."

[Reposting as separate thread - related to "Master List of BW Add-ons" thread]
This is a great idea!
What do people think about moving this to some type of document repository? That way users can upload files themselves instead of having to constantly update this thread (which will quickly turn into a maintenance nightmare). In addition, some type of folder structure can be used to organize the different types of documents and allow people to easily find what they are looking for. I was thinking something along the lines of this:
This is just a simple little example I set up in 10 minutes using a free PHP script for a document repository. It's too bad that vBulletin (the software running this forum) doesn't have the capability to do this - it would be ideal to be integrated into these forums. But I'm sure there's a better PHP document repository script out there that includes comments and other features like that.
In terms of hosting, I can see 3 main options:
1. Hosted at Bibleworks.com. This would be by far the ideal solution, but would require BW staff and space and bandwidth etc. What do you guys think? It would be awesome to have this as an official BW repository and the BW site has the most visibility and bandwidth and likelikhood for people to participate. BW is already known as a great software product with great staff support - how cool to extend that to include an officially supported collaboration repository for users to share files...
2. If BW doesn't go for that, a bunch of us could register a site like www.bwusers.com or something like that. I know of some cheap hosting services that wouldn't be too bad if a few of us went in together and we could set up a bunch of admins so that many of us can monitor it and make sure its working correctly. I'd have no problem setting this up.
3. Some individual could host it. I wouldn't necessarily mind doing this, but it just doesn't seem like the ideal solution to rely on a single person and makes it much less likely to get involvement of BW users and broad visibility. But if the other options don't get support, this could be an option.
I think this has a lot of potential to grow into an amazing resource to share versions, searches, diagrams, color files, etc. - really allowing us as BW users to collaborate as we study God's Word.

We had an appointment scheduled for him, but after further review of your notes I cancelled it, as I feel seeing him at this time won't be possible.
It was very helpful that you sent his MRI reports, and the EMG findings, and the list of medications he'd tried in the past.
But most helpful was the handwritten note (and I recognize your handwriting) on the last page of the fax, which simply stated "December 14, 2009. Mr. Etoh came to appointment inebriated and punched receptionist. Police notified, patient fired from practice. Told to see a neurologist, given Dr. Grumpy's name."
Anyway, it looks like I'm not currently accepting his insurance, whatever it is (even if it's cash), and have referred him to my former colleagues at Humungous Neurology, Inc.
Wishing you a Merry Christmukah,
Ibee Grumpy, M.D.

Florida health officials confirmed a new case of fungal meningitis Monday, this one involving Esther Charney of Ocala.
Esther Charney didn't feel sick during a recent two-week vacation to Scotland and Ireland, and she doesn't feel sick now.
So it came as quite a surprise when she returned from her trip Oct. 20 and her cellphone began ringing and flashing with concerned calls from family members who had been trying to warn her that health officials identified her as one of 1,033 people in Florida who might have been exposed to a potentially deadly form of fungal meningitis.
After a quick trip to the doctor, tests confirmed the worst.
Charney was admitted to Ocala Regional Medical Center last Wednesday, and doctors began administering intravenous antibiotics. She walked out of the hospital Monday feeling no ill effects from the infection.
So mild were her symptoms that she had to ask her husband if she had been positively diagnosed.
"I'm 70 years old," she explained. "Some of these things, they start creeping up on you and you kind of dismiss the way you feel because of your age."
But Florida health officials confirmed Charney's illness Monday in a conference call with the media, although they did not name her.
She is one of 344 people in 18 states to contract fungal meningitis after being injected with tainted painkillers produced by New England Compounding Center, a private compounding lab outside Boston. Twenty-five of those people have died, including three in Marion County, which has been the hardest hit area in Florida. All three deaths in the state occurred here.
During Monday's press conference, State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health John Armstrong reiterated that the clinics that administered the tainted shots, in concert with the Health Department, have been working to advise all those patients that they may be infected and to watch for warning signs.
While health officials have said that the incubation period could be up to six weeks, Armstrong said they now believe it could take even longer for the illness to show up.
"Fungal infections can be slow to develop, and there have been reports of infection from injection beyond the six weeks," he said.
As slow as the infection is to develop, it is equally slow to leave a patient's system, even with heavy doses of antibiotics.
"What we have learned so far is that the length of treatment of these infections is longer than for other types of fungal infections," Armstrong said.
Charney hopes that isn't the case with her.
"I hope they caught it soon enough," she said.
Charney, who received her injections at Florida Pain Clinic in Ocala, has a history of back problems. Once a 13-handicap golfer, she had a disc removed in 1991 and more recently injured her back in a rear-end car accident.
The retired Pennsylvania school teacher is unrattled by her diagnosis, partly because she avoids news accounts of the outbreak that "might put negative thoughts in my head" and partly because of her faith.
"God is in control," she said.
In fact, Charney said she is ready to return to the golf course and is planning an outing with a friend.
