Box Score - Game 1
Box Score - Game 2
Wellesley College Sports Information
WELLESLEY, Mass. - With back-to-back no-hitters from Jenna Harvey and Kristie Gola, nationally-ranked No. 21 Wellesley College swept MIT, 8-0, 8-0, on Friday. Each hurler held the Engineers hitless and scoreless through five innings of work, with Harvey striking out 12 in her effort and Gola fanning nine. The Blue now stand at 17-5-1 overall, 8-2 in the NEWMAC. MIT fell to 5-17, 1-11 in conference play.
After a brief threat in the bottom of the first in game one, Wellesley got on the board in the second when Harvey reached on an MIT miscue and came around to score on a passed ball. The Blue added three runs in the third, when Ilana Orloff led off with a triple to deep right and scored on an infield grounder off the bat of Kara Wong. Megan Wood followed with a two-run shot over the scoreboard, extending the Wellesley lead to 4-0.
The Blue added a run in the fourth, when Wood singled to left, driving in Orloff, and erupted for three more in the fifth. After back-to-back walks, Samantha Littlejohn doubled to left, driving in two. Littlejohn advanced to third on a wild pitch and then scored on an MIT miscue to close out the game.
Harvey was perfect on the mound, facing the minimum number of batters in the shortened five-inning game. Wood and Littlejohn each had two hits, with Woods tallying three RBI and Littlejohn adding two. Jessica Oleinik took the loss for MIT, giving up six hits and only four earned runs.
Game two followed a similar script. Gola proved unhittable on the mound, allowing only two runners to reach base while notching the first no-hitter of her career. Meanwhile, the Blue offense erupted early, scoring three runs in bottom of the first. Amanda Tai led off the inning with a double to centerfield and Orloff reached on an error. Both eventually came around to score on an MIT miscue. Wong and Wood followed with consecutive singles, and Wong scored on a grounder from Sarah Parmelee.
Wellesley added one run in the third and another in the fourth to take a 5-0 lead. In the bottom of the fifth, Megan Townsend reached on an error and came around to score on a double from Harvey. Britni Bakacs, running for Harvey, scored on Alison Davis's double to center. Tai then drove in Davis with a single to center, securing the 8-0, five-inning win.
Tai was perfect at the plate, going 4-for-4 and driving in the game-ending run. Harvey and Wong added two hits each, with Harvey driving in two. Leah Bogsted took the loss for the Engineers, giving up 10 hits and five earned runs.

(Based on true story of surfer)
If you think the surf was high in Narragansett last week, wait until you see this movie about surfing in Santa Cruz, California.
Based on the true story of Jay Moriarty, who grows up with the dream of conquering the Mavericks (giant waves off the California coast), the movie has some terrific surfing scenes, in addition to a poignant story about a fatherless boy (Jonny Weston) who is mentored by Frosty, an obsessive surfer (Gerard Butler).
The story begins with an 8-year-old Jay being saved by Frosty while trying to save his best friend's (Abigail Spencer) dog. This is a movie about bonding between a boy and his mother, a boy and his friend, a boy and his mother, and a boy and the sea.
It gets exciting at times, as we watch Jay's training and eventual battle with the mavericks. It also has two very sad moments in addition to tackling, if not answering, the question as to why young men risk their lives surfing the giant waves.
Both mentor and student are carrying around a lot of baggage, and both learn much from each other. This is one big date movie with enough excitement to hold the interest of the young men, while their dates get caught up in relationships that develop.
Rated PG, with some positive lessons for young folks. Stay for the credits...and bring a handkerchief.

Making a living off the land has become "almost impossible" in some areas of the United States today because of onerous federal regulations, says Bonner Cohen.
"The control-the-land movement, which is the strongest in the western states, but is moving eastward," is one of two arms of environmental activism that is effectively denying landowners use of their land, he told members of the Southern Crop Production Association at their recent annual meeting.
Cohen, who is senior fellow at the Lexington Institute and Washington editor for Earth Times and Environment News, says the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and other environmental laws "opened the floodgates of litigation," with a number of organizations specializing in filing lawsuits under the guise of preserving species or protecting water/air.
"This has become the most effective land use mechanism on the books today," he says. "Their ultimate aim is to depopulate rural areas as much as possible. By undermining the economic base of rural America, an entire culture is being systematically disenfranchised."
If farmers can't derive economic use of their land because of restrictive laws, Cohen says, "they're forced to sell — and often the land has declined in value because it can't be used. The big land trusts come in and buy the undervalued property from the owners; then, they turn around and sell big chunks of it to the federal government.
"This takes it off the tax rolls, further undermining rural communities."
With the median age of farmers going steadily upward, the costs and risks of farming skyrocketing, and the pressures of paperwork multiplying, more farmers are opting to quit, Cohen notes.
"The barriers to farming are making it more and more difficult for young people to enter the business. As the older farmers leave, succeeding generations are disappearing from rural areas and going where opportunities are greater."
At a recent meeting, he says, "A farmer, 46 years old, told me he was the youngest farmer in the entire county."
Fortunately, Cohen believes, things are beginning to look better in terms of oppressive government regulations, which could eventually see some easing of land use rules and a slowing of land being sucked up by trusts and the government.
As a result of the new administration and Congress, he says, "There are more and more people in government who will listen to us. There is a much more friendly atmosphere in Washington for providing relief from some of these laws.
"The new chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is a very sharp critic of the misuse of science and regulatory powers, the takeover of land by government and land trusts, and the unreal policies of some agencies — for example, no tree farmers would use the disastrous management practices the Forestry Service uses on public lands."
The new committee chairman when the 108th Congress convenes in January is Sen. James M. Inhofe, R-Okla., who says he will "work in a bipartisan fashion to create…policies that are based on sound science and proper cost/benefit analyses."
Cohen says he believes Inhofe and his committee "will look hard at these issues. They've indicated they want to hold hearings on the misuse of science by the EPA, many of whose officials have never set foot on a farm in their life and have no understanding of pesticides or the consequences of their regulatory actions."
At the very least, he says, "I believe we're going to see congressional oversight of the EPA — a giant bureaucracy of 17,000 employees, many of whom have a vested interest in protecting the status quo."

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) - March 13, 2013 --The mayor of Lancaster says the city will conduct an independent investigation of a row house fire last month that killed a woman and a 6-year-old girl and left three firefighters hurt.
Mayor Rick Gray told City Council on Tuesday the city has contracted with two retired deputy fire chiefs from Philadelphia to conduct a probe of the Feb. 18 blaze and determine if anything could have been done differently.
The Intelligencer Journal/Lancaster New Era reports the investigation will look at the Lancaster Fire Bureau's makeup, training, staffing and protocols.
Thirty-nine-year-old Pauline Stone and 6-year-old Leilani Roman were killed in the fire. Lt. Andre Kelley was badly burned after he had climbed to the second floor to try to rescue them. Two other firefighters were also hurt.

ColoradoBrewer wrote:Both are percarbonate cleaners and that's what is important. You can buy OxyClean at the grocery store if you don't' have a Costco or other discount store near you. Neither PBW or OxyClean are sanitizers so you'll also need one of those.
If you add TSP-substitute (usually found in the paint aisle of the hardware store) to Oxyclean (in a 2:1 ratio, but I always forget which one is the 2, so I end up just using a tablespoon of each per gallon) you essentially make PBW (a very good product, by the way, just a bit expensive if you use it for all your brewery cleaning).
Percarbonate is an odd one in the cleaner/sanitizer classification. It's a good cleaner. It also sanitizes, BUT, it has a long contact time to be effective (30 minutes, I believe) and it needs to be rinsed, which makes it useless as a pre-use sanitizer. However, using percarbonate cleaner after brewing, but before you put things away, and letting things soak for 30 minutes (or close to it) means you're putting your stuff away clean and nearly sanitized. It also means you're not totally dependent on a single sanitizer, which can lead to the buildup of "bugs" resistant to the one sanitizer.

Another night filled with tons of new music, some classic dubs, a cool summer mix, and some sounds from outer space (to commemorate World UFO day on 7/2). Brand new sounds from YT (the new Revolution Time album with Mungo's Hi-Fi); Easy Star All Stars (from the upcoming "Thrillah" album); Dubtonic Kru; Abschalter; Longman; Negritage; Bigote; Mista Majah P (the "Four More Year" single); Mutant Frogs; and Hollie Cook (dubbed by Prince Fatty). The summer mix this week was an excerpt from Moshi Kamachi's Wordsound-heavy "A Tale From Alpha to Omega" mix (originally done for the Chilldown Period website).
Tonight we had the great pleasure to debut the new Echo Chamber – Around the World In Dub – Vol. 1 & 2 album! That's right. After months of tracking down some great music and asking artists to join the project, collecting and mastering the tunes, and some hours on artwork, the album was officially released on Bandcamp.com on July 5th. On the program tonight we played the entire Volume 1 of this compilation album, featuring: Bandulu Dub vs Nahuatl Sound System, Leah Rosier, Zion Train, Ras Amerlock, Dubmatix, Dubsalon, Citizen Sound, McPullish, Eating Betty, Madtone, Funk Dub Division, and Mutant Frogs. But the vol. 1 of the Echo Chamber album filled just the middle hour of the 3 hour show; there was so much more… This included the new Musical Road In Dub album from Najavibes (mixed by Mad Professor and Gussie P); the excellent "Temptation" album from Ras Sis Highness; Sir Oliver Skardy's "Mambo Nero" single; "Delayrium" from Jah Acid Dub, and the Italian Dub Community Showcase – V.4.
A very big show tonight for at least three reasons: tonight was our annual "Lunar Lunatics" special commemorating the first moon landing on July 20, 1969; it was my wife Kerry-Ann's birthday; and we had a bunch of excellent new releases. Starting things off was the new "Pull It Up!" album from those guys at the Elephant House, the Overproof Soundsystem. Following this was the new "A New Day" album from Jah Marnyah; the cool "Su Bandu" album from Ratapignata and new releases from Dr. Mooch, Ras Sis Highness, Najavibes, Dub Rifles, and Bunny Rugs (the single "Land We Love: Jamaica"). Our "Lunar Lunatics" included such gems as "One Giant Dub for Mankind" (Tassilli Players), "A Bunch Of Guys About to Turn Blue" (Drain), "Apollo 11" (Mutant Hi-Fi), "Fly Me to the Moon" (Frank Sinatra), "Walking on the Moon/Walking on the Dub" (Dubxanne), "Mars Invasion" (Soulsteppers), "Star Dub" (Dr. Echo), and "Destination Moon" (Channel U).
Another Echo Chamber brimming with great music new and old… Old school meets new school in two new releases: Dubblestandart & Marcia Griffiths with "Holding You Close" (an EP containing 7 mixes) and The Orb & Lee Scratch Perry on the new album "Observer In the Star House". Also new tonight: Jimmy Cliff's aclaimed new "Rebirth" album; the mighty Dub Syndicate with the new "Special King Size Dub" release (Echo Beach); Overproof Soundsystem's "Pull It Up!"; and a new album in the Lovers Rock series from Tuskani. More recent releases from The Dynamics, Dr. Mooch, Ratapignata, Groundation, Anna Gemina, Dennis Bovell, Dub Rifles, and Sonora Irreal. On top of this we did a 5 track set from Springline Records which included the fine new release from Ras Sis Highness, plus David Powell Experience, Hassle, Yabass Yaba Radics, and The Manor.

The rise of the Environ-Mentalist
September 30, 2010
"You're a mentalist!"
– Alan Partridge
An article on the Guardian's 'Cif Green' section today actually makes the claim that:
"Of course we could solve the problems of today if we reverted to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle."
I would like to dispute this, if I may, and in doing so discuss further the rise of the group I would like to call the Environ-Mentalists; those who believe that our current industrial civilisation has doomed itself and all that's left is to sing sad songs in the dark, like a race of angst-ridden teenagers.
Let's first look at the land area hunter-gather tribes require to provide nutrition. This study of a tribe living the tropical rainforest of the Democratic Republic of Congo appears to indicate that the maximum this lush & bountiful environment can sustain is a population density of one person per square kilometre – and this is factoring in a certain amount of agriculture. Making the very charitable assumption that every part of Earth is equally able to support hunter-gatherer humans, a land area of 148,300,000 square kilometres implies that 97.5% of the current human population of 6 billion would have to die to make this 'dream' a reality. It's good to know that Caroline Wickham-Jones appears to view slaughter beyond nightmares with such casual disregard.
To be fair, I didn't supply the entire quote:
"Of course we could solve the problems of today if we reverted to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, but global populations and changed circumstances make that impossible."
Which does make clear that she doesn't believe we should necessarily slaughter almost everyone on the planet, merely that the 'changed circumstances' that allowed that population to come about are an irritation in this sense.
But what are those changed circumstances?
"Over time, we have seen that economies of scale can be false economies; increasing specialisation can be loss of wisdom; industry can reduce ability."
This woman is an archaeologist who believes that specialisation causes 'wisdom' to be lost. Just gape in astonishment at that statement; and ponder what 'wisdom' was lost when we stopped living in caves.
The Dark Mountain Project
Wickham-Jones isn't the only one who believes that our pesky industrial civilisation is holding us back from running through the trees dancing and singing; we also have the astonishing chaps at the Dark Mountain Project who – honestly – believe that a civilisation isn't defined by the machines they use or the goods they produce, but rather by the myths and stories associated with them. They're trying to start what they term an Uncivilisation, which aims to be a collective of writers, artists & thinkers who will preserve these myths through the disruption and collapse of climate change. It's all wonderfully romantic, but it contains a danger that the movement's ostensible leader demonstrates in this article. His call for a return to the deep green of the older ecology movement is very enticing, but ultimately leads to the same conclusions as Wickham-Jones: billions must die to make it a reality.
On the other side, you have the anti-environmental ludicrousnessesses like James Delingpole, who are so wedded to such an individualistic epistemology that they're willing to sacrifice science on its altar. Caught between the extremes of misanthropy and misology are the rest of us, whom I'm going to call the Industrial Environmentalists. This includes the likes of George Monbiot (despite his recent paen of despair). We believe that humans do impact on the planet, on its atmosphere and on ecosystems – but that this can be overcome, not by giving up civilisation but by using the ingenuity that gave rise to it in the first place. We believe that ecological damage and global warming are major concerns – but concerns we can overcome through the application of reason and industry. And, if possible, we'd like both extremes of the debate to start talking to each other rather than us, so we can get on with saving the planet and our civilisation while they cancel each other out.

by Bianco » Wed Sep 11, 2013 4:04 pmIn order to focus on personal business endeavors, good ol' JR Jim Ross has retired from World Wrestling Entertainment, effective immediately.
It goes without saying that Ross is considered one of the best color commentators of all time, and he is also responsible for signing some of the best talent WWE has ever had including Steve Austin, Edge, Trish Stratus, Mick Foley, and many, many more
http://www.wrestling-edge.com/huge-deci ... rtainment/
by glasgowceltic » Wed Sep 11, 2013 5:58 pmIt blows my mind that WWE has shat all over JR for years. Dude is a living legend, he should be calling every RAW or at least every PPV. Partly because he's the best in the game pure and simple. What's crazy though is that WWE actually has a desperate need for a play by play commentator. Cole can't do it, King is colour (and a useless old sexist) and JBL is colour also. They're a motley crew of absolute fannies, the blind leading the blind. Witness that shit with AJ on Raw. Or the Heyman shit on RAW where they were sitting making stupid jokes about Heyman's personal doctor's name and shit instead of picking up what Heyman's doing and calling that shit. Anyway, JR retired. The real shame is that they didn't use him.
by Bianco » Wed Sep 11, 2013 6:30 pmDave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer just released a breaking audio update, and has provided even more information on the developing story of Jim Ross announcing his retirement from WWE.
According to Meltzer, JR met with Vince McMahon in Connecticut last night, and all but a handful of Vince's inner circle had any idea why the meeting was taking place.
The reason why Jim Ross was let go from WWE was due to his inability to control Ric Flair at the WWE 2K Sports panel that took place the night before SummerSlam. As we noted earlier, there was talk of letting JR go "the minute the panel ended," as WWE felt he should have cut Flair off and regained control of the event.
Meltzer further noted that the part of the panel that drew the most heat for Flair was when he made mention of his son Reid's death and when he joked that John Cena never used to drink before they met but now he downs a six pack of beer every night.
The update went on to note that WWE is using the "retirement" excuse as a PR move to avoid major uproar over the firing of a beloved WWE talent and Hall of Famer. Meltzer stands by his belief that Ross was let go entirely due to the 2K Sports panel because just a couple weeks ago during his Q&A session in The UK, Ross said he had no plans to retire from WWE.
Another interesting note is that aside from Vince McMahon, Triple H and a couple other employees mentioning it on Twitter, no WWE wrestlers have commented on the news of JR retiring.
by fieldy snuts » Thu Sep 12, 2013 6:42 amIt still astounds me to this day how WWE continuously shit on one of their most loyal guys in JR.

I Kill Bookstores
From Scott's post, I also discovered the Vroman's Bookstore blog, which I hadn't known about before. A post there called "Let's Tell the World What to Read Next" offers some clues as to where bookstores can go from here -- building off an interview with Seth Godin, who talks about the future of music in a world where selling CDs is no longer going to bring in huge profits, the post applies to bookstores Godin's idea that merchants in an age of abundance can no longer be satisfied with helping to provide stuff to people, but rather, if they want to make a living, they will need to provide guidance and selection amidst the abundance. The best bookstores have always done this, and now they may have opportunities for reaching audiences that they never had before.
At the end of the post, Patrick of Vroman's criticizes the widespread use of Amazon.com links by blogs and websites. This got me thinking further about the whole issue of books and how people get them, and it reminded me of a few sentences recently posted on the Small Beer Press blog:
Amazon take[s] such a huge cut that having books there is almost a loss leader ad for our books in stores. (People still like to pick up and see what they're buying—and our books are all printed on pretty pretty recycled paper.)I can't pretend to have all the answers for how bookstores, or any other kind of stores, will survive. But I can look at my own practices as a frequent book buyer, library user, teacher, blogger, etc. -- reading and writing are the central elements of my life, for better or worse. And many of the things I do are the sorts of things that kill bookstores.
I don't think of bookstores as receptacles for my charity, and so when I shop at independent bookstores, it's not usually to try to help them stay in business (the one exception to this was the Oscar Wilde Bookstore when I was living near it. But I didn't buy enough.) When I was in the NY metro area, I tended to shop at independent bookstores when I bought new books -- St. Mark's, Shakespeare & Co, and McNally Robinson (now McNally Jackson) were my favorites. I shopped there because I would find things at those stores that I wouldn't have known about if I hadn't gone in. I use the internet to buy books I already know about; I use bookstores to make discoveries. The latter is much more fun -- browsing is an addiction -- and also leads to much more impulsive buying, which is bad for my wallet and good for the health of bookstores.
Now I live in rural New Hampshire, and the nearest independent bookstores that can provide me with much opportunity for discovery are at least an hour and a half's drive away. I don't much like driving, so I don't tend to go to them. If I get the urge to browse, I drive half an hour to the nearest Borders in Concord, which, as Borders stores go, is actually pretty good. I stopped in yesterday for a rest after 3 hours of driving around doing business stuff and ended up spending money I didn't intend to spend, because I discovered there that paperbacks of Steven Millhauser's Dangerous Laughter and Edmund White's Hotel de Dream had been released. So I picked them up. (I was also happy to see Jed Berry's first novel, The Manual of Detection was on display on the front table, but I already had that, thanks to Jed and the publisher. It's the novel I'm reading next.)
The nearest independent bookstores to me do not offer a particularly valuable experience for the kind of reader I am. One is primarily a textbook store in a college town, the other caters to tourists, and does well with that (the fiction section is generally tailored toward the kind of people who really like Jodi Picoult novels. This is smart business -- in a big tourist town, there are lots of readers who like Jodi Picoult and want to read other things that will give them a similar reading experience). It would, in many ways, be suicide for an independent bookstore in rural New Hampshire to cater to someone like me. Thus, I rely on Borders and the internet these days, but whenever I visit Manhattan, I always make a stop at St. Mark's and McNally Jackson, because they are places of joy and discovery, places I feel a certain loyalty to.
As for Amazon.com, that's a more complex problem. I use Amazon links not because I make a lot of money off them (at best $100 or so a year) but because I like the information they give. I have thought about switching to Powell's a few times, and may yet, but it's still not quite comprehensive enough, though they seem to get better by the month. Indiebound is useless to me because I don't care where you buy your books -- what I want is to be able to give you information about the book, let you look for other books like it, let you find used copies if you want, etc. I want a link to give you the most information and options with the fewest clicks. So far, Amazon does that best for me.
As for buying new books from Amazon ... I hardly ever do it. I am a publisher's nightmare: I buy used books and I use libraries. Partly, this is because I do get a number of books sent as review copies from publishers (fewer these days, since I've cut back on reviewing). Mostly, it's because I'm not independently wealthy and yet I want to read a lot. I buy small press books out of loyalty to certain presses -- each year at Readercon, I buy at least a few of the Small Beer books I don't already have, for instance -- but the big publishers only occasionally, such as yesterday. I'm glad not everyone is like me, because otherwise no books would be published at all, but so it goes.
So these days, yes, I kill bookstores. I buy used books, I use libraries, I link to Amazon from this blog. I'm not feeling too much more guilt than I felt when I stopped using the local video store and switched to Netflix. It increases my access to movies, and it adds to my happiness. I'm sorry the local video stores have all gone out of business, but they rarely had anything I wanted to see, anyway.
We now have the option of abundance, and the business models that survive will be the ones that give us the most satisfying, least confusing path into that abundance, and help us navigate when we're there. Places that provide discovery and joy, surprise and wonder. That's what bookstores were all about even in the days of scarcity, and I expect, with some creativity and adjustment, they can continue to be that still.

What makes a piece of furniture or an accessory a timeless classic?
Good morning! I have a little different perspective for us to ponder today. As I've mentioned, I have been in this world of design for 20-plus years. If I go way back into the archives of my life, I have been involved with making homes beautiful since I was 14, starting when I walked into Lovellette's in 1967 in Augusta and asked Lucille for a job. She taught me so much that I believe I still, subconsciously, draw on her ideas today at age 61. I do believe one of the most profound and important things she taught me, as did my Mom, is buy quality and buy once. Select a classic and, again, buy once. So, that is the focus for us today! Classics!
What makes a piece of furniture or an accessory a timeless classic? It's much like a wonderful, well-constructed black suit for a man or woman. If properly cared for, a suit like this can be your companion for 10 years. So think of purchasing for your home in the same manner. Will you still feel like a million bucks when sitting in that classic wingback chair 10 or 15 years from now? I say to you, yes you will! Clearly I have a preference for English and French interiors as that is what I am comfortable with. To me, these interiors are as soothing as a well-worn pair of shoes. Whatever your design partiality, be it contemporary or traditional, you can buy timeless pieces you'll keep for decades. In fact, well considered purchases are worthy of reupholstering and passing on to another home.
A recent count revealed that I have moved 16 times in my life so far! And a good share of my furnishings are still with me today. In my early 30s, I decided to listen to people who understood how to create a home, and I started purchasing pieces that have come along with me on my journey of life. These pieces turned out to be truly timeless and classic. For example, a wingback chair and sofa from 1985 are still being enjoyed! They've had a few facelifts along the way, but are still lovely to look at as well as comfortable. So, let's discuss what pieces you might start considering for, as I like to say, "your grown-up house."
Wingback Chairs
A wingback chair is always a perfect addition to your home. Regardless of your design direction, they can handle the job. For a downtown apartment with brick walls and a sleek and edgy design focus, contemplate a large-scale wingback chair in a turquoise zebra print. Ethan Allen has the Rand Wing chair, the perfect silhouette to wear this type of fabric! Love the charm of a cottage by the river? Select a delicious romantic linen rose print for a wingback chair. Take a visit to www.thefind.com for beautiful rose-inspired slip covers. Or take a look at www.onlinefabricstore.com for Ralph Lauren's-Brash Hollow/Camel-Harvest fabric…enchanting!
You can find wingback chairs in various sizes, from petites for the smallest of family members to as grand as a king's throne. I think pairs are always a great buy and so usable. Think of the classic look of a pair of wingbacks in front of the fireplace, on either side of a console table in the entryway, as host and hostess chairs for the dining room, or at the end of your bed with a wonderful round table between them for morning coffee. Developing a little double vision when purchasing chairs does wonders for design!
Super Sofas
A sofa is a piece of furniture that truly can become part of your history—particularly if you select it according to the construction points in my "How to Purchase a Sofa" column. Despite the type of design you love living with, sofas have the amazing ability to be what you ask them to be. Very much like the uncanny, almost chameleon aspect, of a wingback, a sofa can be dressed in contemporary fabric to behave sleek and sassy, or decked out in a lush chocolate velvet for a country or sophisticated city dweller look. Now certainly some elements in their design, such as a trac arm or wedge foot, may shout, "I am chic and oh-so contemporary." I think the perfect sofa is somewhere in the range of 84" to 90", not too long and certainly not too short, just right. As I am sure most of you have noticed, regardless of the sofa length, usually only two people feel comfortable sitting on it together. Even though there might be three cushions, there is something about our personal space that feels a bit cramped when more than two reside on the sofa.
Side tables and coffee tables are pieces that can travel from room to room, or home to home, and always find just the right position of importance. This is especially true if you purchase tables of the proper height and size. In the case of side tables, I always suggest purchasing the largest one your space will allow to get the most bang for your buck! Side tables in the taller range are flexible enough to become nightstands. With coffee tables, the key is that it's constructed with the integrity that allows you to sit on it like a bench. For the length of the coffee table, select something about half the length of the sofa. Always be mindful of the finish on tables, and don't fall into the trend of the moment. Anyone who invested heavily in pickled pine, for example, is probably regretting those acquisitions.
As proclaimed in previous columns, I am a lamp snob. I'm sorry to say it, but it's a cold hard fact! A lamp that makes a statement and says, "Turn me on and I will give you the best I've got!" is a marvelous purchase. Take your time when selecting lamps, and you will never—let me repeat, you will never—be sorry. Whether it's a lamp placed on the kitchen island as the family night light or one that serves as queen of the living room, don't be cheap or lazy about deciding on these most important aspects of any room. Back in the 90s, when I was just starting out professionally in design, my primary job was designing model home interiors. Back then I placed lamps on vanities in bathrooms, and think how acceptable that has become! So carefully think about where the low light of a lamp might make a room feel just perfect. Call me crazy, but I recently placed rather ornate pair of sconces in bronze with delightful shades in my laundry room. That's right…elegant, fancy sconces above the washer and dryer! Turning them on and doing laundry in that dreamy light makes a rather unlikeable task a bit more elegant and chic. And who wouldn't desire that!
So, to sum this all up, consider the classics. Your next piece of furniture can achieve the timeless elegance of Cary Grant (or at least khaki pants and a navy blazer). Go into the furniture store or meet with your designer and request pieces that you can see loving for decades—pieces you would be proud to pass on to someone new. Don't allow yourself to become a victim to flash-in-the-pan trends. We all love the bricks on State Street for a reason: They are an aspect of our community and they are an American classic.
I will leave you this fine Saturday with wise words from designer Sister Parish:
"Even the simplest wicker basket can become priceless when it is loved and cared for through the generations of a family!"
Take care with what you bring into your home! I will back for coffee September 7!

Mortgage options
Mortgage underwater? Here's how to stay afloat
For the millions of homeowners with mortgages underwater there are no easy answers. Should they keep paying and hope the market improves? Try for a loan modification? Cut their losses and walk away? Gerri Detweiler, personal finance expert for Credit.com, explains the pros and cons of several options...
Credit reporting digs deeper
Sometimes it's hard to escape the notion that our lives are being slowly, inevitably reduced to a single database. For instance, if you thought your current credit report told the full story of your financial persona, it's nothing compared to what's on tap from CoreLogic, a Santa Ana, Calif., firm...
The down-payment hurdle
Tight credit is leaving the housing market gasping for air. That's the drum beat from many corners of the real estate industry, which has been complaining loudly that restrictive mortgage-lending standards are a leading reason housing can't seem to climb out of its very deep hole. Not everyone...
FICO's radar picking up potential walkaways
Your mortgage payments are up to date, and you pay your bills on time. Your credit score is above average. Uh-oh. Could be trouble. How could this be a problem? Alas, we live in a surreal age, creditwise. If you have those good credit characteristics but also happen to be underwater — you owe more...
Prices are low! Mortgages cheap! But you can't get one
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Yep, mortgage interest rates are low, but there's a catch: It doesn't matter how cheap rates are if you can't get a loan. The credit crunch has made it very difficult for many ordinary Americans to qualify for affordable mortgages. During the housing boom, anyone who could...
ARMs offer savings, but know all the risks
Loc Chau was looking for a super-low interest rate to finance his San Jose, Calif., condominium, a place he envisions living in for a few years. Super low to him means below 4 percent. So he opted for an adjustable-rate mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration as an alternative to...
How to polish your credit score
Credit scores have a huge effect on your financial life. Here's how to make yours shine.
Helping to weigh the options for a first-time home buyer
When mortgage shopping, most first-time home buyers opt for loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration that generally carry lower down-payment and credit-score requirements than so-called conventional home loans. But fees for F.H.A.-backed loans recently changed. And in some cases, it's...

It is better if customers can provide the parameters of AC motor so that we can configure the controller for the motor before ship out.We need the motor parameters below.
Rated Voltage AC voltage or DC Voltage.For example,42VAC=60VDC.
Rated power
Rated speed(RPM)
Rated frequency
Motor poles
Pulses of Dual Channel A/B Encoder
General functions:
(1)Extended fault detection and protection. The beep sound pattern indicates the fault sources.Customers can read the error code or message in PC software or Android App also.
(2) Monitoring battery voltage. It will stop driving if the battery voltage is too high and it will progressively cut back motor drive power as battery voltage drops until it cuts out altogether at the preset "Low Battery Voltage" setting.
(3) Built-in current loop and over current protection.
(4) Configurable motor temperature protection range.
(5) Current cutback at low temperature and high temperature to protect battery and controller.The current begins to ramp down at 90? case temperature, shutting down at 100?.
(6) The controller keeps monitoring battery recharging voltage during regenerative braking,progressively cutting back current as battery voltage rises then cutting off regen altogether when voltage goes too high.
(7) Maximum reverse speed and forward speed can be configured between 20% and 100% respectively and separately.
(8) A 4pin connector to RS232 converter and USB to RS232 cable allows for configuration,programming and software upgrades using tablet which should be based on Android OS.People can do the same operation and configuration on PC software by using a standard USB to RS232 cable instead.(Recommend using USB to RS232 cable from Kelly directly)
(9) Provision of a +5 volt and +12V output to supply various kinds of sensors, including Hall effective throttle or pedal type.
(10) 4 switch inputs which are activated by connection to +12V. Default to forward switch,throttle switch, brake switch and reversing switch.
(11) 2 analog 0-5V inputs that default to throttle input and motor temperature input.
(12) Configurable motor over-temperature detection and protection with the recommended thermistor KTY84-130/150.
(13) Dual Channel A/B encoder input to support the speed control.
(14) The power supply of the controller is 8-30V.We specify 8-30V for power supply which must be isolated from main battery pack B+/B-.Usually customers can use 12V car battery or DCDC converter.
1) Intelligence with powerful microprocessor.
2) Synchronous rectification, ultra low drop and fast SVPWM and FOC to achieve very high efficiency.
3) Electronic reversing.
4) Voltage monitoring on 3 motor phases, bus, and power supply.
5) Voltage monitoring on voltage source 12V and 5V.
6) Current sense on all 3 motor phases.
7) Current control loop.
8) Hardware over current protection.
9) Hardware over voltage protection.
10) Configurable limit for motor current and battery current.
11) Low EMC.
12) Battery protection: current cutback, warning and shutdown at configurable high and low battery voltage.
13) Friendly high current terminals, and waterproof connectors for small signal.
14) Thermal protection: current cut back, warning and shutdown at high temperature.
15) Decelerating speed according to the brake rate when brake switch is active.
16) Decelerating speed according to the brake rate at reverse. Configurable reversing accelerating function.
17) Support three braking modes: release throttle braking, brake switch braking or reversing braking, neutral braking. Configurable brake time and brake release time in configuration program.Can program the regen amount in user program for different regen modes.
18) Configurable high pedal protection: the controller will not work if high throttle is detected at power on.
19) Current multiplication: Take less current from battery, output more current to motor.
20) Easy installation: 3-wire potentiometer can work.
21) Support Broadcast CAN bus function.
22) Standard PC/Laptop computer to do programming.There is one more choice for customers to program KAC-8080I controller.Standard Tablet with Android OS to do programming.Need a Z-TEK USB to RS232 cable for connecting the controller to APP program in Tablet.

UK GlobalScale distribution partner New IT has announced its latest ARM-based plug-top computer, the DreamPlug - and it's a major improvement over its predecessors, packing some serious hardware into a tiny case.
The plug-top computing idea centres around packing usable computing hardware into what appears, at first glance, to be nothing more than a power supply for a larger piece of hardware. The DreamPlug is the latest entry in the series, building on its Marvell-based SheevaPlug predecessor.
The DreamPlug packs some serious power in its tiny case. The Marvell Sheeva ARM-based processor at its heart runs at 1.2GHz, and while 512MB of DDR2 memory might not sound very generous, if you need more then your project probably isn't suited to the plug computing model.
Unlike the SheevaPlug, the DreamPlug goes all-out to impress, packing integral Bluetooth, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, a 3Gb/s eSATA port, two USB 2.0 ports, a pair of gigabit Ethernet ports, and even analogue and SP/DIF digital audio ouputs. ARM developers will be pleased to hear that the JTAG-over-USB feature of the SheevaPlug has been replaced with full hardware JTAG and UART connectivity - although the breakout board is an optional extra.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Senior Trevor Chang was the 2007 recipient of The Elliot Lilien Award, which is named after the commissioner of the Northeast Fencing Conference (NFC). Given to the fencer who combines cheerfulness, good sportsmanship, and an excellent parry system, Chang is the second fencer to earn this accolade after Caroline Purcell was MIT's initial honoree in 2001.
Chang closed his career as a three-time NFC Male Fencer of the Year and the winner of the Georges L. Cointe Award, which is given to an individual who excels in high-level competition with excellence in sportsmanship.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - A total of 10 players contributed to MIT's scoring effort in its 73-50 victory over Rivier College in women's basketball action on Thursday night. Christa Margossian notched a season-high 13 points for the Engineers (7-13) while the Raiders' Amanda Knowles led all scorers with 21 points.
Margossian tallied the first point of the contest by converting one of two shots from the free throw line at 18:17. Rivier (1-18) got on the scoreboard with a pair of lay-ups by Peggy Dalton over the next two minutes. Tech ended a four-minute scoring drought when Kimberly Soo Hoo sank both shots from the charity stripe. Knowles quickly answered with a three and Alice Yeh posted MIT's first field goal at the 12:54 mark. The Raiders maintained their advantage until Michal Ruchelsman's trey knotted the contest at 15 with 7:12 remaining. Margossian put the Engineers ahead with a lay-up, which was quickly erased by Elise Begnoche's free throws. Clara Yuan gave MIT the lead for good with a three-pointer less than two minutes later. Tech entered the intermission with a 26-23 advantage.
The second stanza was closely played as Rivier stayed within striking distance for the majority of the half, coming within one (40-39) at 12:27. Yuan's jumper on the Engineers' next possession sparked a 17-3 run during the next five minutes that helped lead them to the win. As a team, Tech raised its first-half shooting percentage from .290 to .417. In addition, MIT committed four second-half turnovers for a final tally of 11.
Yuan also totaled 13 points for MIT while Cherelle Walls posted her first double-double of the season with 12 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Soo Hoo dished out five assists while Ruchelsman grabbed six boards.
Begnoche tallied 15 points and eight caroms coming off the bench as Dalton collected a team-high nine rebounds for the Raiders.
The next game for MIT will be on Saturday, Feb. 11 at 2:00 p.m. when it travels to Mount Holyoke College.

No luck for Poland today.
Fair play Ecuador. I'll be the first to hold my hands up & say I underestimated them/overestimated Poland. Poles were shocking tho. Very poor. I was under no illusions that they were world beaters, but I had them down as a capable & fairly efficient side.

And to be fair, Poland had two shots off the post, but I think they lacked the ability in front of goal today. There were a number of good opportunities, but they were either a) shot into rushing Ecuadorians who came out to tackle or b) went over the players who got the crosses. Ecuador really weren't that good defensively as they were made out, though, often overrun..

How good is the world cup! I am no expert nor a great fan of football but I plan to watch every game of this tournament.
Germany looked ominous in attack early in their match against Costa Rica. I was pretty impressed and surprised. They didn't look too flash at the other end of the park though.
Loved seeing Ecuador get up over Poland. Poland were boring and didn't test the keeper out enough, who looked very nervous at the back I might add.
Ecuador vs. Costa Rica could be a pretty good game. Looking forward to it. Poland have a lot of work to do from here to make it through...
Brilliant first game, best for ages and ages. Choppy eh, he's still gorrit, he's 'ere all week.

Looks like my tip of Ecuador going through could pay off. I intended to get up and watch both games - didn't happen though, was woken up by the cat at about 4:30 a.m., let him out, turned on the tv and it was a minute away from half-time in the first game. Probably should have stayed up, but I was tired and wandered back off to bed. Woke up at half time in the second game but fell straight back asleep again. It's not easy living in NZ when the World Cup's on you know.

Quite enjoyed Poland and Ecuador, haven't watched Germany v Cost Rica yet as I have it taped. I timed it just right, I got up to tape it just as the game was about to start when I thought I had missed the start and was angry at myself.
The German game was pretty exciting, i watched about half an hour of the second game before going to sleep, it seems i was right in my prediction of Poland, vastly over rated because they are a european team in a weak group.

The Australian Business Register (ABR) will provide service focused around the needs of businesses rather than the internal processes of government agencies. This will be achieved through an Internet portal for business to government (B2G) and government to government users, and through a call center.
The ABR will be a public register that holds key identification information that 2.5 million Australian businesses were previously required to provide every time they dealt with a new government entity or department. In the future government agencies will be able to refer to the register instead of requiring businesses to provide documents to prove their identity or other high-level registration information.
The B2G solution is likely to use advanced eCommerce technologies such as XML for data exchange between government and business agencies.
In addition to developing the ABR the project will also redevelop the Australian Tax Office's (ATO) Client Register—which holds individual and business registration information. The project will have three stages:
The 'Strategic Design' will produce a high level design for each release of the ABR, including user and technical prototypes.
The first release of both registers will be in July 2001.
The second release of both registers will be in late 2001 or early 2002.
A key feature of the ABR project is the need for the ATO to interact with multiple parties and interests across the business community, whole-of-government agency executives and employees; and to ensure they are each appropriately involved in, and have ownership of the eventual outcome.
To ensure this vital interaction occurs effectively, Accenture will assist the ATO in undertaking a Journey Management Program that will address risks such as the cross agency involvement, the importance of achieving acceptance and involvement from business, and the major transformation in approach to viewing business and other agencies that the ABR represents.
The eCommerce solution design will be centered on the benefits specified in a whole-of-government business case, and will address the process, organization and technology requirements of the registers.
Both business and government users will use eCommerce channels to access and update the register. The project will be staffed equally with representatives from multiple government agencies and Accenture personnel.
The ABR will provide the infrastructure to enable:
Businesses to find out about their obligations and complete registration processes online.
Businesses to maintain their own registration details through the Internet.
Businesses to tell one government agency of any change in their registration details and know that change will be passed on to other agencies they interact with, removing the need for them to notify these other agencies.
The public to view information about businesses through the Internet.
Government agencies to access up-to-date registration information without having to maintain this information in their own registers.

Shrink Wrapping Equipment
Traco packaging professionals can assist you with the right packaging equipment and shrink wrap film to meet all of your company's packaging challenges. Shrink wrapping your product provides a factory fresh look while tamper proofing your packaged product. Shrink wrappers are easy to use, and shrink wrap is one of the least expensive ways to professionally package your products.
Shrink Bands (Stock or Custom Made)
Stock or custom shrink bands are the most popular packaging accessory used by companies who have a need to tamper proof/tamper evident their product.
Packaging food or beverage products require a guarantee to the consumer that the product hasn't been tampered with. Shortly after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, The Homeland Security Act mandated that all store bought products consumable products required some form of packaging that would provide tamper evidence and security to the consumer. Shrink bands are the least expensive and easiest way to apply a safe, tamper proof wrap around food and beverage products. Some of the options available for shrink bands include:
- Horizontal or vertical perforations for easy opening
- Printed or tinted (custom logo or designs)
- Preformed for easy application on lids
- Custom sizes to meet the exact dimension of your products
- Shrink bands will provide a clean professional look which will assure customers feel safe and secure in their purchase.
- Printed Shrink Labels (PVC, PET, PLA, OPS)
- Shrink Sleeves and Multi Packs
- Preform Shrink Bands
Shrink Wrap Film
Aside from durability, shrink wrap film is applied using inexpensive equipment. Packaging your company's products with shrink wrap film will save you time and money. Whether shrink wrapping boxes, gift baskets, DVD's, software, or any product the technique is the same. Simply place the product inside the center folded shrink wrap film and use a heat medium such as a blow dryer (heat gun) or a heat tunnel to shrink the film until it meets the desired appearance. Using shrink wrapping equipment is so quick and easy that you can become an expert in minutes. You can literally package and protect your products for pennies!
Shrink Sleeves (Printed, Tinted, Seamless, Seamed and Perforated
Shrink sleeves are very versatile and can be used in many packaging applications such as:
- Printed shrink labels (rotogravure, flexographic, or digital)
- Tamper evidence (tamper proofing)
- Multi packs
- Cut bands (for partial product coverage and protection)
- Full body sleeves (for complete product coverage and protection)
Shrink sleeves are made from the same material as shrink film only thicker. Whether used for high definition, 360 degree decorating on a printed shrink label, tamper proofing a bottle cap or lid, binding multiple items (two or more) together for product specials or promotions, you will find that shrink sleeves can be a very inexpensive yet versatile tool in your protective packaging applications.

Best Kids' Parties: Fantastic Mr. Fox
Name: Elliott, 1
Location: Perth, West Australia
I began thinking about the invitation for Elliot's first birthday party long before anything else. I was inspired by photos of woodland themed parties. I began drawing woodland creatures until I came up with a sweet little fox wearing a party hat. Hence the fox theme for my son's birthday was born.
I designed the invitation and it is now a popular seller in my Etsy shop, particularly for little boys parties. I bought a fox t-shirt for Elliot to wear at his party by b.childrenswear. The kids were given a felt fox party crown as they arrived and they all looked so sweet.
The menu was simple as their were lots of little babies at the party. As well as the standard party fare (party pies, sausage rolls and quiche) I cut sandwiches into the shape of oak leaves and acorns. I made acorn and number 1 shaped biscuits to continue the woodland theme. Chocolate milk was served in glass milk bottles with blue paper straws. The cake was a three layer vanilla cake with buttercream icing.
As favors I gave out Fantastic Mr. Fox sticker books, crayon rolls made from woodland patterned fabric and acorn shaped cookies. I wrapped them all in brown paper and tied them with twine.

BARNSTABLE – A Falmouth man accused of dealing large amounts of cocaine pleaded guilty to trafficking charges Thursday and received well below the potential maximum sentence.
BARNSTABLE – A Falmouth man accused of dealing large amounts of cocaine pleaded guilty to trafficking charges Thursday and received well below the potential maximum sentence.
Hsu Chiu, 43, was sentenced to seven to nine years in state prison and five years of probation after his pleas in Barnstable Superior Court to three counts of trafficking 28-100 grams of cocaine, two of which had been reduced as part of a plea agreement; one count of trafficking 14-28 grams of cocaine; and three counts of distribution of cocaine. He also must forfeit his 2009 Toyota pickup truck and more than $148,000 in cash that police say were proceeds of his drug business.
The charges are the result of a months-long investigation by state police and detectives from the Mashpee, Bourne and Falmouth police departments and members of the Cape Cod Drug Task Force into Chiu's cocaine distribution in the Falmouth area.
In court, Chiu, speaking through a Mandarin interpreter, calmly responded to all questions from Judge Robert C. Rufo. At times Rufo, as well as attorneys from both sides, had to repeat instructions and responses because of difficulties translating certain legal phrases.
The seven- to nine-year sentence falls well below the 20-year maximum he faced on each of the three counts of trafficking 28-100 grams of cocaine. Chiu's lack of a criminal record played into that decision, Cape and Islands First Assistant District Attorney Michael Trudeau said.
Chiu also could face immigration issues as a result of the plea. Although he has dual American and Taiwanese citizenship, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will review any potential issues, Trudeau said.
The investigation began in July 2011 when Bourne detectives were tipped off by a criminal informant, according to court documents.
The informant told police that he'd purchased cocaine from a bartender at the Peking Palace restaurant in Falmouth named "Kevin." The informant said these drugs were not diluted with cutting agents and therefore cost more than typical amounts of cocaine, according to court documents.
Investigators set up an undercover drug purchase from "Kevin," later identified as Chiu, in Falmouth. After that successful exchange, investigators arranged five more undercover purchases in the next several months, each of increasing quantity, according to court documents.
A final meeting was arranged Jan. 5 at the Coonamessett Inn, where an undercover officer planned to buy 4 ounces of cocaine from Chiu. During that meeting, officers arrested Chiu and searched his pickup truck, where they found large amounts of cocaine and cash, according to court documents.
A subsequent search at his home on Kathy Ann Lane in Falmouth yielded more cocaine and cash as well as chemical commonly used to cut drugs, according to court documents.
Under state law, vehicles and money used in the sale of illegal drugs are subject to be forfeited to the state in civil court proceedings. In Chiu's case, investigators determined that $48,784 in cash found in the searches of his home and truck as well as the truck itself and $100,000 stored in bank accounts were used in the drug sales.
The two forfeiture cases were closed Thursday with Chiu's plea. The money, along with any proceeds from the sale of the truck, will be divided between the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office as well as the various law enforcement agencies involved.
