Both the defense and state prosecution rested in the murder trial of 39-year-old Knoxville resident Steven Dean McGinnis at the Marion County Courthouse Wednesday.
McGinnis, a Gulf War veteran who has been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is charged in the September, 2008 shooting death of Knoxville resident Robert Ohl.
Witnesses taking the stand Wednesday included a former inmate at Marion County jail who testified that McGinnis was known to have at least once moved underneath his bed in an Army-crawl position and to also have woken up screaming, and disoriented at times. One of the positions of the defense is that McGinnis did not remember shooting Ohl at the time of the incident because he relapsed into a PTSD episode, which can affect memory, and that he was intoxicated during the shooting, among other defenses.
However, Dr. Michael Taylor, a psychiatrist who interviewed McGinnis after Ohl's death, testified Wednesday that McGinnis was fully capable of forming and acting on an intent to do harm to Ohl, and was not affected enough by alcohol, his PTSD, or by any of the medications he was taking, to not understand the consequences of his actions. Dr. Taylor also said the testimony McGinnis gave during both a psychiatric evaluation and to law enforcement questioning conflicted in both McGinnis' thoughts on Ohl, and how much alcohol he had the day of the shooting, among other inconsistencies.
Both jury instructions and closing arguments are set for Thursday at the courthouse.

If you own a laptop or cell phone, chances are these devices are powered by increasingly popular lithium-ion batteries, which refer to a family of battery chemistries using a flammable electrolyte. The potential fire hazards of these devices and related suppression methods led today's "high hazard challenges" track at the Suppression, Detection and Signaling Research and Applications Conference (SUPDET) in Orlando.
R. Thomas Long of Exponent, an engineering consulting firm, provided details on the first phase of a Fire Protection Research Foundation project that identified and assessed the life cycle hazards of these batteries. The project's second phase included fire tests with three types of lithium-ion batteries in storage settings and suppression methods. SUPDET presenter Christopher Wieczorek of FM Global outlined some key test results, noting that similar initial fire growth rates occurred for all three commodities. Future research will need to determine the effects of large-scale tests of these batteries. The Foundation anticipates the release of the Phase II report by April.

Dear Muaz .. Counsel of the Deaf Emperor (2)
Dear Muaz
Re Forum Security and Accessibility Concerns
Though there is an older post with a similar name, there is an update to the agenda:
You will be well aware that the forum has been experiencing prolonged and persistent periods where it was next to impossible to reach it.
It has been down for the best part of the last 10 days (starting on 16 March). The variety of 'error messages' conveyed upon attempting to access the forum (as well as the parent website, sudan.net) is impressive: from 'currently undergoing maintenance .. please check later', to 'database error', to staring into oblivion (blank screen of death), this ridiculous spectacle has been witnessed by many.
1. I am assuming that this is/has been happening despite your best effort, and you are not implicated in disrupting your own forum.
2. If that's the case, let's proceed:
2.A It appears that the forum has been subject to DOS/DDOS attacks
2.B I speculate that someone with an administrative user privileges is contributing to this mayhem. You will be well advised to look at the login files of ALL such privileged users. It could be an inside job (not necessarily the privileged user themselves doing it, but colluding with whoever it may concern to take the forum down). If the abuse is happening unbeknownst to the privileged user, then their account might have been compromised. I would advise you specifically to look into the activity on the account of NEWLY ELECTED MODERATORS WITH A DORMANT ACCOUNT ACTIVITY.
3. Your investigation should be thorough.
4. Such privileged user dormant accounts are a security loophole. It is an accident waiting to happen.
5. As a spinoff from this issue: one of the recently elected moderators:
(feel free to ask if you don't know who am I referring to) had declared sometime ago that they wouldn't be doing any moderatorial duties. But at the same time they haven't resigned their moderatorial function. That's not just ethically wrong, but is unprofessional.
6. You have provided no public clarity on what the heck is/has been going on, and whether the forum accessibility problem has been resolved and how exactly.
Mr. You Know Who

Hello Elsa3lab Elshatawie,
Yes the board have had issues a couple of weeks ago. The issue has been resolved. Sudan.Net, the parent site was under attack bringing the services down from time to time, and that was causing the outage on the SDB, since they share the same server hardware. For the mean time the main site, Sudan.Net, is down and undergoing changes till we have the issue fixed in the next week, it will be offline. The SDB should be stable now and functioning properly.
I can tell you that account or administrator accounts have not been compromised.
As for the moderators , there are only a few that are active and I thank them. I will in a few weeks take a look at the moderators list and check the logins log and see who has been active. Those who are not active will be relegated and released of their duty. I certainly understand that there are many things in life that sometimes occupies us from things including me who have not been actively involved in the affairs of the SDB.
Thanks for raising the issue and your concerns.

Dear Muaz,
Thanks for getting back.
Re Mods, if your investigation of the log files is thorough, then that's what's called for. It would be prudent to cover the possibility if Mods account are not 'changing hands'. So any login from a geographically suspicious IP should be investigated.
Of course life's pressures bear on everyone.
I would like to report technical problems with using Mozilla Firefox browser: Under Firefox, previewing posts renders a blank screen 99% of the time (i.e. the post is lost). Same applies when the quote/reply button is hit, as the quoted text of the particular post replied to is also not displayed. Same also applies to hitting the 'edit' button.
Issues with previewing videos, too.
Mozilla Firefox is the industry standard free browser with privacy guarding functions and no other agenda. You need to look into remedying these technical problems, which are probably sabotage by other big powers on the internet scene who are hellbent on poking around user's data.
Last, but not least, if you could make the default text size 4, for the benefit of those posting in Arabic, and particularly for those posting from a mobile device, it would be much appreciated.

A cantor (also called a chanter, psaltis) is a lay person who may assist the priest by chanting responses and hymns in the services or sacraments of the church.
In modern use, the role of the cantor has been replaced, to some extent, by choirs. In this setting, the cantor is sometimes considered the choir director or the person to lead in congregational singing.
In Judaism, the cantor is called a hazzan.

Morrissey book to be published in America
NEW YORK The Morrissey memoir show will soon arrive in the U.S.
Penguin Random House announced Tuesday that Morrissey's "Autobiography" has been acquired jointly by three of its imprints. G.P. Putnam's Sons will publish the hardcover on Dec. 3, while Penguin Classics will handle the paperback edition at a date to be determined.
The book is a No. 1 best-seller in England.
British reviewers have been divided over the book by the Smiths' former frontman. Rock critic Neil McCormack gave "Autobiography" a five-star review in the Daily Telegraph. He compares it favorably to Bob Dylan's "Chronicles." But the Independent's literary editor, Boyd Tonkin, writes that he tired of Morrissey's "droning narcissism" and "puerile litany of grievances."

(Pocket-lint) - Tablets, like smartphones, are ten a penny now. You can get a rubbish one for £80, or a really great one for £400. They usually all look pretty much the same, are mostly either about 10- or 7-inches in size and are mostly comprised of a screen. The Sony Tablet P, on the other hand, offers something unique: a folding clam-shell design.
The question is, does this unique-looking device bring enough to the table to justify its steep asking price, or is it just another niche product that will sell tiny numbers and disappear without a second version ever being produced?
The clam-shell design reminds us of a glasses case, to some extent. Within are two 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreens, a 1GHz, dual-core Cortex A9 processor and 1GB of RAM. But for the time being, let's look at the external gubbins.
The bottom of the tablet has a removable cover, under which the battery sits along with the microSD card slot. A 2GB card is supplied by the way, but you can fit as much as 32GB, should the mood take you.
The top cover is also removable, and it is under here that you'll find the 3G SIM card socket. This is a nice addition, and if you don't read the manual, it will take you a while to work out where it is.
On the external surfaces there are a few basic buttons and sockets. Sony has opted for a propritary 12v power connector and this can be forund on the right-hand side of the device. Next to it is a power button and there's a USB 2 socket too. There are also volume controls in the form of a rocker switch that's fairly hard to press.
On the front of the Tablet P, you'll find a headphone jack and, if you look really carefully, you'll see a notification light too. We really like this long, strip light. It's location is sensible for telling you when a message comes in. You can see it from a decent number of angles too, which is good and it's bright enough to really attract your attention.
There are two cameras here. A top-mounted 5-megapixel shooter, that does a decent job with images, and another, mounted next to the topmost screen. This is a VGA only, 0.3-megapixel camera, and it's pretty horrible to be honest. It will, however, suffice for Skype video calls.
Making use of the screens
It isn't a huge surprise that, to take advantage of the two screens, you really need to have a specially written app. Of course, Sony has gone to some effort to make sure that its apps are coded to use both, but the same can't be said about third-party apps.
And who can blame app developers for not seeing this one coming? Even now the Tablet P is out, we still can't really see developers being that interested in making their apps dual-screen aware. If in the future more dual-screen tablets hit the market, then we've no doubt support will grow. But until then, we can't see anyone really developing apps for the Tablet P.
That doesn't mean the tablet has no value, but Sony hasn't entirely managed to capitalise on it either. For example, when you're watching a video, the content plays on the top screen, and the bottom has some software controls. Those are semi-useful, but we'd rather be able to choose something else to go on the lower screen. Say, a Twitter client, or a web browser, to allow people to watch something, while surfing the web.
When it comes to typing in to a document, the keyboard pops-up on the lower screen and that actually works really well. The problem comes if you want to use a third-party keyboard, like Swiftkey X. Then, we discovered, that not only did the keyboard not stay on the lower screen, but the text we typed was invisible. It only became visible, once we confirmed we were happy, and switched back to the app.
Sony's apps are a mixed bag. There's a very nice music player. On the top screen you can see and control what's being played. On the bottom is a pile of cover art strewn around. You can rearrange it and touch an album cover to make it play. It's a quirky, but functional, interface. The music app also has DLNA streaming built-in, so you can stream music to network devices. This works brilliantly and is so simple to use it could be hugely popular.
DLNA shines here
Sony likes DLNA and it shows with the Tablet P. The company makes it so you can share video or music with another device as it's playing. When you're watching or listening to something in one of Sony's apps, you can simply select the "share" button on the second screen. This will change the video screen to a list of DLNA compliant devices on your network. From there, you simply pick one, and your file will start playing.
Gaming could be the niche
Sony cleverly installs Crash Bandicoot on the Tablet P. This is a good idea, because it's quite a nice showcase of how the dual screens can work. On the lower panel, you see controls for maneuvering Crash about the screen, while gameplay happens on the topmost screen.
Although touchscreens aren't the best way to interact with games, we found it worked reasonably well, and you could certainly learn to get used to it. The controls are certainly responsive, and you can slide your finger or thumb around, which gives you a more subtle control over the game.
Because the Tablet P is PlayStation certified, it's entirely possible there will be a raft of old PS titles making their way on to the tablet. That would be great, because this will give it something unique to trade on, as half-console half-tablet. It's that which will persuade people to buy it, rather than the niche clam-shell design.
Of course, the problem comes with standard Android games. These obviously do not understand the dual-screen system, so you're either forced to stretch them over the two screens, or play only on the uppermost screen. This isn't all that comfortable, and we'd ideally like to see a way to switch the screen you use for each task.
Build quality and the screens
One thing we noticed with the Tablet P was that a sharp tap would send a bright light across the whole screen. And at times, we even noticed that the plastic cover would bend inward, get stuck for a fraction of a second, then pop out again. This seems to be because the screens aren't a hard plastic, but a more flexible type.
Such things don't overly worry us, although it's a sign that perhaps the build quality isn't everything it should be. That said, elsewhere we have no complaints about the device. It feels sturdy and could probably withstand a drop or two, which is usually enough to see off the likes of the iPad or other Android Tablets. Keeping the screen protected in a clam is also likely to add to the longevity of this device.
The screens themselves have a resolution of 1024 x 480 and the means there's a pixel density of 221 ppi. That's incredibly high for a tablet and it shows: this device looks great for it. The games we played look great, on one screen. Obviously, with non-Sony titles the ability to stretch games over both screens is pretty useless. While it works fine, and we didn't see any noticeable problems running games designed for one screen on two, but it's hardly a captivating experience either.
Take Flight Control, for example. On one screen it looks good, but stretched over two the ratio is wrong and the gap between the two screens isn't properly compensated for. This means that you get bits of the screen that are duplicated which makes for a very ugly experience.
And, obviously, when you try to drag your finger from one screen, to the other, it simply doesn't work well, or feel good. With apps maximised to full screen, you feel compelled to do this, and it simply doesn't work.
Surprisingly, Sony has decided to provide only a single, tiny speaker on the Tablet P. This means that audio is incredibly quiet, and easily muffled if you place your hand over the speaker. Which you will do, because it's in the very place you grip the device to use it.
This is really quite disappointing, because this tablet isn't thin, and there are lots of other places Sony could have put the speakers. And good sound would really have sold this as a multimedia and gaming device.
On the plus side, chuck a set of good headphones in the front-mounted jack, and the Tablet P comes alive. The audio is clear, with masses of detail and a really good dynamic range. And, for the most part, we expect people will use the tablet with their headphones on, but we're still a little sad that the speakers aren't better.
Cameras and video quality
The still camera on the front of the Tablet P is a surprise. It's pretty good, and the design of the tablet means this is the most practical for shooting stills and video of any tablet. You can set the device down, and record yourself, and you can get it in to different angles to make for more interesting photos.
The application that runs the camera is reasonable enough. It's quite simple and the extras are kept to a minimum. The image preview is shown on the bottom screen, while your camera roll is shown on the top panel. This works nicely, and we really rather liked it.
Images do look good, on the whole. In outdoor light, there's amazing colour reproduction and reasonable levels of detail. The Tablet P doesn't disgrace itself here, but it doesn't achieve perfection either.
Video is okay. Auto focus works throughout, which is good and means you can use this more like a traditional camcorder, if you so wish. Video comes out at 720p, and is reasonable quality, if a little lacking in fine detail.
One oddity with the video, was that there was noticable lag between our movments with the tablet, and the video moving on screen. This means you can perform a pan, and when you stop, the video will still be catching up. It's weird to look at, but it doesn't seem to affect the overall output.
3G and Wi-Fi
As we noted with the Tablet S, the P has Wi-Fi that's not always entirely perfect. We found it was a little unreliable, and sometimes with low power signals - like those from mobile phones, offering "tethered" access - the tablet would protest about greatly.
We had fewer problems at home, on our strong Wi-Fi network. And 3G was excellent, and if you're going to the expense of buying a 3G tablet, you'll probably want to make use of its abilities. It's worth noting too, that the Tablet P is available with LTE in countries where there is a network to make use of it.
Battery life
We have to say, on the subject of the battery, that we weren't blown away by its performance. We noticed that it disappeared very quickly indeed, and this must have at least something to do with running two screens at once. Add in 3G, and some gaming, and the 3080mAh battery really starts to struggle. We can't help think the Tablet P needs a battery twice as capacious as this one to really thrive.
We wanted to love the Sony Tablet P, and indeed, it's lovely to see a tablet that offers something that Apple does not. The problem is, without a lot of dedicated apps, the dual-screen approach just doesn't add enough.
For gaming it's great, if you can get used to the touch interface. For video and music the device works well, but the main screen is too small for films and the speaker is just diabolical. You are trading a normal sized tablet for something which is basically two phone screens hinged together.
Performance-wise, we have no major complaints. It works as it should and it feels snappy and powerful. It's upgradable in terms of SD card storage, so you can get lots of media on here for your travels. The Wi-Fi has some problems though, and we do think a higher capacity battery should be supplied, the one included just doesn't cut the mustard.

Customer Reviews
After 5 happy years with our Gen 1 Volt and glowing reviews from a friend who bought the first Bolt in our state (an early '17 with 95k trouble-free miles), we couldn't resist the incentives to buy a new '20 Bolt LT-drove the $40,150-stickered car off the lot for under 28k with no trade. My wife chose it to replace her Civic - we're keeping the Volt. I'm 6' 3" and 190 pounds and find the seats comfortable, but if I were any broader of beam the seatbacks might be too tight. My petite, slim wife loves it, and prefers the driving position to the Volt. Great visibility all around, the bright, airy cabin seems huge given the car's exterior dimensions. Back seat room is impressive, I have plenty of leg and headroom. Drop the back seat and the hatch offers impressive cargo space. We love the way it drives. Comes with a charge cord for L1 charging at home, you don't need to install an L2 charger right away, or ever if you don't drive longer distances frequently. (You can charge at 8 or 12 amps L1, 12 amps adds about 5 miles charge per hour.) Note that DC Fast Charging capability is an option, if you plan to take road trips or need faster charging times make sure the Bolt you choose has it. The Driver Confidence packages (there are 2) are awesome, and work very well. I have collision avoidance on the Volt and one dark, rainy evening it saved a pedestrian's life. So far we are averaging over 4 miles per kWh, which is about the best our Volt can do. If you are considering an EV, go to your Chevy dealer and test-drive one. Prepare to be impressed. (Note that most dealers don't care much for them, they require almost zero maintenance - just tire rotations and cabin filter change. Lots of money saved over the life of the car. The Chevy Bolt is proof that EVs are now mainstream. We couldn't imagine going back to a conventional gas car.Read more reviews at Cars.com

My daughter was leasing her first car and was lucky to have Michael Lindgren to guide her through this process. Michael is NOT your typical car salesman. He was knowledgeable, helpful and patient. She NEVER felt pressured from him to make a decision she wasn't ready to make. He RESPECTED her concerns about budget and was able to offer more options than we expected for her to consider, while always keeping her budget in mind. In the end, she leased a 2020 Chevy Trax, the vehicle she wanted, in the color she wanted, with the features she wanted, and most important, within her budget. Such a great experience. Thank you Michael!

My wife and I went in looking to lease a new Traverse. We have been dealing with different car salesman for a long time and it was refreshing when we had the opportunity to work with Carlos Herrera. He worked hard to get us the best deal and it felt like he really was on our side when he was negotiating for us. He succeeded!! Nicole Ehlers in finance made the experience that much better and we left with smiles on our faces! I highly recommend this dealership and team!

Dominick Stagliano and his staff at Millennium Chevrolet in Hempstead N.Y. earn high grades for the job they did for me. Faced with a long 2 week + trip and only 20% oil life they took me on a moment's notice and had me in and out in no time. Jerome knew exactly what services my car was approaching mileage wise and said to call him as soon as I return. Can't beat personalized service like that.

They made car buying extremely easy and surprisingly enjoyab
I walked into the dealership and Michael Blaschuk was very helpful and I could sense that he sincerely wanted to get me in a vehicle and a deal that I was comfortable and happy with. Then I was introduced to Jay Cooper who really made my car buying experience truly amazing. He was completely transparent and with Jay anything is possible. He went out of his way to get me in an unbelievable truck and I was beyond satisfied with the overall price and payments. In the final process I dealt with Wahid Amani who was an absolute gentleman. He was not pushy at all, very personable and easy to deal with. There was no surprises and this was my first car buying experience that was an absolute pleasure. I drove nearly an hour and a half to get to the dealership and it was completely worth the trip. I highly recommend Millennium Chevy, JAY COOPER, Wahid Amani and Michael Blaschuk!

Millennium Chevrolet....3rd world service in a 1st world...
Millennium Chevrolet....3rd world service in a 1st world country. Went in for my regular oil change (07/14/2020) and replacement of damaged passenger seatbelt strap. During this visit I reported several problems that occurred while driving two days before my oil change appointment Problems:- 1. Horn stuck, sounded continuously 2. All Warning lights on dashboard were flashing 3. Service all-wheel drive system came on 4. Horn stopped (after about 20mins) then the wipers came on and would not go off. 5. Indicating lights were off, would not come on 6. Horn would not sound Technicians at Millennium Chevrolet said problems occurred because of a shorted horn, and that when checked the horn was damaged. They couldn't do a diagnosis of the other problems until horn was replaced. Waited one week, no call from them so I called. They told me to bring the vehicle in the very next day to replace the horn and seatbelt strap. This was done, however they now say that they need at least six hours to do the full diagnostic test. I also reported that I heard an "after rattle or an after vibration" when the engine shuts off. One technician said he heard something the other did not. I Couldn't give them the car for Six hrs, so again the diagnosis wasn't done and the rattling sound could not be investigated. Over the weekend more problems/warnings popped up:- 1. Service driver assist system 2. Service all-wheel drive system 3. Service parking brake Will schedule another visit earliest. Called today 07/30/2020 to schedule the diagnosis appointment, the Girl was ready to give me a date, however because I was told this will take about 6hrs, I decided to request a Loaner car because I need a means of transportation. The girl couldn't confirm if a loaner car would be available on the available date so she transferred me to the service department. The guy here (sorry I didn't get his name) said they don't have a loaner vehicle available but that I can take the car in tomorrow morning, that it (the diagnosis) wouldn't take long. When I asked the service representative, how long is not long, he said that maybe an hour but not because he told me an hour means it will actually take one hour...so I asked him to please give me an approximate time this would actually take, and he said hat he couldn't.. so now I'm totally confused, first it was 6hrs, now not six hours, about 1hr...but maybe longer...with no loaner car. Imagine me trying to ask my boss for some time off, but not sure how long to ask for!! I feel like I'm getting 3rd world service in a 1st world country... I will try to speak with a manager tomorrow. I cannot go there and sit there for however long that takes...I work, and I cannot ask for time off because I don't know how long it will actually take...Also I cannot believe Chevy don't have a loaner car for customers with problems that can be diagnosed/rectified within 6hrs, give or take....not to mention the "one week+" just to replace a horn. Very very poor and unprofessional service from the service department. Rowel

From walking into the showroom to finalizing the deal to signing paperwork, every single person I dealt with was top-notch. I was not hounded by sales pitches nor were my "asks" ignored. I left with the exact vehicle I wanted with a price I was comfortable signing for. I picked up my vehicle later in the day, and I was not rushed at all. All of my questions were answered and I was walked through the process as if I was the first customer of the day. Kevin Pratt, my salesperson, took the time to set up my On Star, XM radio, and all the new functions of my car. If you are in the market for a new vehicle, I highly recommend visiting Kevin and Nicole (finance) and this dealership. A+

My boyfriend went from BK to LI to purchase a used vehicle they said they had to find out once he arrives it was sold when he just asked the day before but it was sold days previous to that . Then they get him to finance a vehicle he didn't really want but was exhausted from the overnight job and being there for hours financed a another vehicle for $17,000. It hasn't been a month yet and the car has been in there shop 3 times already for the engine light continuously coming on after Millennium Chevrolet said it has been repaired. It came on again so back to them again. Every time this light comes on its a big deal and problem. This doesn't make sense at all! Very unhappy and disturbed. We have to travel there every week. Thanks for starting out ruining a new year. Gas cost money I live in the Bronx and tolls cost money too! 😡

Quintana Dominates As White Sox Beat Red Sox 3-1
Jose Quintana looked up in the fifth inning and started thinking about the possibility.
He made a strong bid for a no-hitter. It ended with a weak hit.
Quintana did not allow a hit until before David Ortiz broke it up with one out in the seventh on a broken-bat single, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox 3-1 on Tuesday night.
"In the fifth inning, I realized, man, they haven't got a hit yet," Quintana said through an interpreter. "All I wanted to do was just get outs and keep the team ahead."
Jeff Keppinger hit a two-run homer off Felix Doubront (3-2) in the fifth. Alex Rios extended his career-high hitting streak to 16 with a single and RBI double, and the White Sox won for the sixth time in eight games. They'll try to complete the sweep against Clay Buchholz on Wednesday.
Quintana (3-1) was simply terrific.
The left-hander struck out five and walked two, and he had the fans thinking they just might be witnessing something special. The roars from the stands grew louder with each out as the game wore on, right until Ortiz's bat shattered on a bloop single to center with one out in the seventh.
That ended the bid for the 19th no-hitter in White Sox history and the first since Philip Humber's perfect game at Seattle on April 21 last season.
Two more singles by Mike Napoli and Daniel Nava loaded the bases and ended the night for Quintana, who got a standing ovation as he left the field.
"He was pounding the strike zone and pretty much making his pitches," Ortiz said.
Jesse Crain came on to strike out Will Middlebrooks and Stephen Drew to end that threat, but the Red Sox got a run in the eighth after Matt Thornton walked Jarrod Saltalamacchia leading off and gave up a single to Jacoby Ellsbury. Matt Lindstrom retired pinch-hitter Mike Carp on a fly to left before uncorking a wild pitch, and Saltalamacchia scored from third when shortstop Alexei Ramirez allowed Dustin Pedroia's hard grounder to go through his legs for an error.
Ortiz then grounded into a double play to end the rally, and Rios added an RBI double with two out in the bottom half to make it a two-run game.
Addison Reed worked the ninth for his 16th save in 17 chances, although Casper Wells had a bit of an adventure in left. He slipped while catching Nava's fly to warning track for the second out before Middlebrooks ended it with a fly to center, preserving the win for Quintana.
"Everything was working," he said. "All (my) pitches were in the zone."
Doubront was a tough-luck loser even though he was almost as effective as Quintana. He allowed two runs and five hits in six innings and walked two after issuing six in his previous start against Tampa Bay, and he wasn't even too upset about the pitch Keppinger knocked to the seats.
"Not even one mistake, just I threw a good pitch," he said. "A good hitter put a good swing on it and hit it out of the ballpark."
He gave up a single to Ramirez on a slow roller toward third with one out in the first and did not allow another hit until the fifth.
Then, after getting all their runs with two out in Monday's 6-4 win, the White Sox did it again.
They got their first two when Dayan Viciedo singled to left in the fifth and Keppinger drove the next pitch to the seats in left to make it 2-0. The home run was his first since Sept. 29 when he hit one for Tampa Bay in a game at U.S. Cellular Field, and Tyler Flowers nearly added to it when he doubled off the wall in left-center before Tyler Greene grounded out to end the inning.
"Our starting pitching's really good," Keppinger said. "Every game, we're in it. We have a chance. It's just a matter of if we can get that big hit - or get that big two-out hit. It seems as of late, we've been getting a lot of two-out hits that are turning into runs."
NOTES: The White Sox scratched Chris Sale from Wednesday's start against the Boston Red Sox because of a mild tendinitis in his left shoulder. Sale was scheduled to pitch against the unbeaten Buchholz (6-0, 1.78 ERA). Hector Santiago will start in his place. Sale said he "absolutely" expects to be ready for his next scheduled start against the Cubs on Tuesday. ... Chicago's John Danks said he hopes to make his first start of the season this week. He has not pitched since May 19 last year and had surgery in August to repair a capsule tear and remove debris in his rotator cuff and biceps. ... The White Sox confirmed a report that chairman Jerry Reinsdorf has recommended a family succession plan that includes selling its interest in the franchise. The team said in a statement released Tuesday that while he has recommended putting the club up for sale "once he is no longer with us," all plans are "fluid" and "ultimately will depend on timing and other circumstances." The White Sox also said he has no plans to sell the team anytime soon. ... The Red Sox held Shane Victorino out of the lineup Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox because of tightness in his left hamstring.

Hi PT'ers.
Lillycat attends church with someone that knows these people. This is very sad. I know PT prayers can and do work miracles!
We have had a horrible tragedy within our school. A teacher that works at Jamestown Elementary, Rhonda Hale, currently has two sons fighting for their lives at a hospital in Lexington, KY. The two boys were riding their ATVs after church on Sunday. Austin, a 10 year old was on a dirt bike, and Ethan, a 16 year old, was on a 4-wheeler. The two boys collided with one another head-on. They WERE wearing helmets but the injuries sustained were still massive. They were flown to UK Children's Hospital where teams of doctors began working on them immediately. Ethan has broken every bone in his face and has lost his left eye. The first of many surgeries was done to begin repairing the damage. He is nothing but metal from the chin up. Currently, fluid is gathering at the back of his brain and more surgery is going to need to be done to remove it. Austin has yet to regain consciousness. He has been unresponsive since the accident and doctors are saying that it is a miracle that he even made it to the hospital. A shunt has been placed in his head to reduce fluid and swelling. He has multiple injuries including 2 crushed vertebrae, broken limbs and a pelvis that is broken in half, which cannot be operated on until more is known about his head injuries. Both boys are on feeding tubes and have developed fevers. As you can imagine Rhonda's world has been shattered. Her boys are all she has left and she is devastated, as any mother would be. She has requested that any willing person please pray for her sons. The school is also requesting that cards be sent to the boys. We are trying to get cards sent from all over the country so that the boys, as well as Rhonda, have something to look forward to daily. The cards are going to be kept and counted so that Austin, Ethan and Rhonda can see just how many people have been praying for them. If you could, please send a card to the address below and then forward this e-mail to anyone and everyone you know. At this time, prayer is the best medicine for these youths.

Product Description
Medium supers are great either for additional room for your colony to store honey, or as a home base for the queen and her brood. Our medium (Illinois) supers, made from high quality eastern white pine, provide beautiful, dependable homes for colonies.
Our process:All of our woodenware is made with high quality materials in order to serve you and your bees for many years to come. We use eastern white pine lumber from the forests of the northeastern U.S. to build the many different pieces needed to make our hives.
First, each piece of pine is cut to the proper length and height. Then our equipment precision mills the interlocking finger joints, trims the boards to the exact length, and carves out the rabbet joints and easy-grip handholds. Finally, we pre-drill holes in the corner of each hive to increase the hive's strength when you assemble it. This crafting process happens entirely in our Kentucky facility.
- Features:
- 10-frame medium (Illinois) super
- Unassembled
- Natural, unfinished wood
- Uniform interlocking finger joints for maximum strength
- Pre-drilled holes for nails to prevent wood from splitting during assembly
- Taper-cut handholds for an easy grip
- Does not include frame rests
Crafted from Commercial grade eastern white pine. This grade allows for some imperfections, but most are aesthetic and will not affect the strength or durability of the finished product.
We also offer 8-frame and Select grade eastern white pine options.
Note: Nails and assembly instructions are not included. Frames and foundation must be purchased separately.

Ipoh Special Rojak is a stall at Hai Pa Wang,
a popular seafood restaurant in Kuching. I didn't even remember going
there until I saw the pictures and from that I deduced that the
combination of the remainder of an eighth of Shine On Georgia Moon
together with 4 tablets of Dormicum 15 mg (midazolam) and smoking weed
with Cherie collectively gave me anterograde amnesia.
I seriously did not remember anything about going out last night
until I saw that there were images in my digital camera from last night
and then it all flashed back to me (no pun intended). I went out in a
daze at approximately 10 pm in search for nourishment (nutritionists
use the terminology "food") and dropped by Luconia to meet up with
Cherie before going to Hai Pa Wang. I wanted to eat fish.
This person approached our table as we were seated at Hai Pa Wang
and asked us if we wanted to try some "Ipoh Special Rojak". She said
that it's totally different from the Sarawak implementation, and having
developed symptoms of a serious case of the muchies, I said alright,
bring it on.
She brought it on…the rojak is stoner's heaven man, like totally.
Excuse my temporary lapse in linguistics. Anyway, the Ipoh Special
Rojak was topped with sweet rojak sauce and pork floss, creating a
wonderful topping. There were several unusual things in the rojak as
well, which I could not identify in my state of intoxication but there
was something very interesting with a chewy texture. Highly recommended!
…and God damn it, no pun intended. 😉
Anyway, we ordered quite a lot of seafood, overestimating our
cannabis induced appetites and there was this huge fish (gestures with
hands) that we ordered and NO ONE had room for it anymore. It all boils
down to one person…someone of great testicular fortitude (or
gastronomic fortitude rather) to finish the damn thing. That person
also happens to be me, unfortunately drawing the shortest straw.
I started digging my way into the fish, and it was a bit of a
challenge to finish even one side of the fish, but I was determined to
finish the fucking thing. I started working my way though it…
…and finally managed to get one side of the fish into the deep,
dark bowels of my intestines. I'm very optimistic at that moment and
I'm sure I could finish it with my cannabis induced appetite…even if
I had another half of a large whole fish to eat.
The fish was flipped over and I was initially overwhelmed by the sheer amount of fish that I still had to eat, but not being one to renegade on my words, I firmly planted my will into consuming the damned fish.
…and by the grace of God (or weed), I did it! Jesus Christ, I
can't believe that I forgot all about that when I woke up this morning
and only remembered my gastronomical feat when I reviewed my digicam
and all the memories came rushing back.
Eating a whole fish is not something to sneeze at. I totally pwned that fish kau kau…
Anyway, I've gotta go to the toilet now…I'll be flying to KL early
tomorrow morning on a business trip and I'll be there till the weekend
so you know the number to call.
…er, actually, you probably don't since I changed it. It's 016 888 3166.

Academic round-up
What should the Court do when the parties refuse to defend the decision below? That interesting question is addressed by Brian Goldman in his forthcoming Stanford Law Review note, now available on ssrn here.
Pepper v. United States, scheduled for oral argument on December 6, 2010, is just such a case. At issue in Pepper is whether a federal judge imposing a new sentence after the previous sentence was set aside may take into account a prisoner"™s good behavior during the interim between the two sentences. Although the Department of Justice successfully argued below that a judge could not give the prisoner credit for post-sentencing conduct, it has now changed its tune and is siding with Pepper. DOJ recommended that the Court send the case back to the Eighth Circuit, but the Court chose instead to appoint Adam Ciongoli as amicus curiae to defend the decision below.
Goldman argues that the Court has been too willing to appoint amicus curiae to argue positions abandoned by the parties, keeping alive controversies where none exists. He reports that the Court has appointed amici forty-three times since 1954""approximately twice every three terms. Goldman's note first traces the history of the practice, then asks whether it is at odds with the Constitution's "case" or "controversy" requirement, and concludes by addressing whether such amicus appointments are consistent with the adversarial system. Goldman acknowledges the benefits of amicus appointments in cases that raise issues of independent interest to the courts "" such as the scope of the federal courts"™ subject matter jurisdiction "" but he concludes that sometimes the better practice would be to remand rather than to reach out and decide matters on which the parties agree.
Goldman"™s note should make us all think twice about the Supreme Court"™s practice of deciding uncontested issues. For those who contend that the judiciary's primary role is to declare the meaning of law, some flexibility in adversary procedure is justified. But for those who think that courts exist to resolve disputes between the parties, these activities appear to be judicial overreaching. And for those who believe the courts should do a mix of both, amicus appointments are permissible but should be rare.
These amicus appointments do have one clear benefit, however: they can jump-start the careers of aspiring appellate attorneys. As Goldman reports, Chief Justice Roberts is one of many young lawyers appointed to argue such a case early in his career.

DOTD extends closure of Judge Seeber Bridge for painting
Work on bridge stalls reopening, officials say
The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development said it will continue the closure of the Judge Seeber Bridge through mid-October.
The bridge is currently closed due to painting, the DOTD said in a news release on Thursday.
The department said in the release it planned to reopen the bridge while painting continued following the Labor Day weekend after extending the original closure time frame.
This week, the department said that a site evaluation revealed that a "substantial amount of equipment will be required to be staged on the bridge in order for the contractor to perform painting activities.'
Due to the extra activity on the bridge, the department said it reconsidered the decision to keep the bridge open.
The project is expected to be complete in fall 2013.
Drivers were instructed that they could use St. Claude and Florida avenues as alternate routes.

A significant part of recent training of case officers has been geared to Iraq, Afghanistan and situations related to the worldwide war on terror. That has caused, as one former operator put it, "a loss of tradecraft," meaning old-fashioned peacetime spying techniques.
The same thing has happened on the intelligence-analysis side. An emphasis on finding the bad guys who are Taliban or al-Qaeda or planters of roadside bombs has created a generation of analysts who "may see ordinary intelligence gathering and assessment work as just . . . ordinary," said one senior official.
Inevitably they will have a letdown returning to a cubicle in Langley, the site of CIA headquarters. "They'll miss the adrenaline rush, yanking on their Kevlar helmets, seeing an immediate kill or miss," said a former official.
There is a more subtle change, too. Sixty percent of CIA officers have arrived since Sept. 11, 2001, and 30 percent since just five years ago. This relatively young workforce has known strong, respected leadership under Michael Hayden, Leon E. Panetta and Petraeus; strong funding; and public respect from recent overseas successes. A limited number of current agency officials experienced the harsh criticism and structural changes after 9/11 and the controversies over Iraq and weapons of mass destruction and over enhanced interrogation and torture.

Welcome to my kitchen. While it's still a little off from what I would have choosen had a built my home, it's come a long, long way from where it once was.
My favorite thing about it is probably the wall color. I hemmed and hawwed over many other paint colors in my house, but this one I always knew. It's Benjamin Moore Wickham Grey and for me it was love at first site.
Funny story, though. When I was buying the paint I asked them to maybe just put in a little more blue because I was worried it wouldn't be much of a color, and the girl looked at me and said, "there's no blue in it..." I was a little shocked and worried, but stuck to my gut and boy am I glad I did. I love it!! It's a pretty pale french blue.
And it plays really well with the Benjamin Moore China White we used on the cabinets. Kind of a French Country vibe.
Anyway...this is what the place looked like before:
Sort of cave-like. And dark...and ugly. I don't hate stained wood, but something about this stain made it milky...like it was laid on too thick or something. So it all had to go. I originally thought it really all would go, but we actually ended up keeping a lot of things...
One thing I was certain of was getting rid of that awful drop box florescent light! Ugh. Couldn't wait to see that thing gone! We replaced it with four recessed lights, and sometimes I wish I'd been able to talk my husband into the six that I wanted, but once the pendant lights are shining 4 does the job nicely.
Which brings me to the pendant Tiffany lights we had in here...
Aren't they just lovely?? Someone thought so because they sold pretty well online! haha.
I did make my hubby move one of the pendants over about 6 inches because they were just too close together...
I got major eye rolls for making him do this, but ...it just needed to be done.
See? Look how pretty that ceiling is now! It came a looong way!!
When we walked through the house listing off what needed to be changed, I opened the fridge door, which opened up against this corner wall, and realized that because of the handle, the fridge could only open up about a foot wide...how ridiculous!? So, next on the list was switching places with the fridge and the pantry. It was a pretty big ordeal especially since we had to replace the crown molding because it didn't work in reverse...
But all's well that ends well, am I right? And it all works so well now that it's switched around. I can open both fridge and freezer as wide as they will go. Perfect.
Surprisingly, once it was all painted and finished, I didn't hate the backsplash so much...and the countertops really popped where they hadn't before. We also replaced all that tile flooring with laminate wood planks that look like old hardwood flooring. Gorgeous! No regrets there.
We also ended up keeping the knobs and pulls and even the hinges and everything looks and works great.
And then it was all about finishing touches. Most of the items on the top of the cabinets were thrift store finds. Love that.
These copper molds belonged to my mother, and bring me back to my childhood every time I see them.
I got the grand idea to put sugar and flour in huge canisters like this from a friend of mine. They are SO much more practical than the tiny canisters that come in a set like the one I got at my wedding. Those things never hold an entire bag of flour or sugar so it's always been a problem for me, because it's not a real storage solution. Anyway, these are from Target and I love them.
The window by the sink is one of my favorite spots. I love looking out those windows. They were covered in ugly blinds, which I quickly threw away. I ended up replacing those with these little tension rods that happen to fit really snug once I took the decorative balls of the ends that met in the middle. It almost looks custom. Perfect. And these flowy little curtains were a wedding gift from long ago. They work perfectly here.
Lastly, I put this sign up above the doorway connecting this kitchen to the formal front room. Words to live by...found at Hobby Lobby.
So, there you have it.

On a cold mid-November night in 1959, this unassuming farmhouse in rural Kansas was the location of the brutal murders of 4 members of the Clutter family.
The case – and the house – became infamous after flamboyant American writer Truman Capote took an interest in the homicides and decided to visit the small town where the crime took place in Holcomb, Kansas.
Truman Capote:
Capote was so taken with the murders that he embarked on a 6 year-long journey of chronicling the story and the capture, prosecution, & execution of the perpetrators Richard "Dick" Hickock and Perry Edward Smith.
Capote's odyssey resulted in his opus magnum: In Cold Blood, which later became a major motion picture in 1967.
The house at the center of it all sits at the end of Oak Avenue on 7 acres of pastoral farmland.
The original farmstead was called "River Valley Farm" and locals still refer to the property as such. The current 2-story farmhouse was built in 1948 for $40,000 by Herb Clutter in order to house his family of six.
If you haven't read the book or seen the original movie about the Clutter murders (or the more recent 2005 Hollywood film Capote), let me fill you in on the crime.
Two criminally-minded drifters heard rumors that Herb Clutter was a wealthy farmer who kept $10,000 hidden inside his house outside rural Holcomb. On the night of November 14, 1959, they broke into the family home with the intent of robbing the family.
When they did not find the money, the pair became enraged and ended up shooting/slashing Herb Clutter, his wife Bonnie, and their 2 youngest children Nancy, 16, and Kenyon, 15. (Two older daughters were already grown and out of the house.)
The Clutter family victims:
1959 crime scene photo:
Six weeks after the heinous murders of the Clutter family, Dick Hickock and Perry Smith were arrested – thanks to a jailhouse snitch. After five years of trials and appeals, they were both hanged on April 14, 1965.
Once Truman Capote's book was released the following January, the town of Holcomb – and particularly the Clutter farm – became the focal point of widespread fascination with the crime. The 1967 film adaptation In Cold Blood was actually filmed on location in Holcomb and inside the actual house on Oak Avenue where the murders took place.
The house was sold in 1964 to a divorced cattle rancher named Bob Byrd. Byrd, however, traveled frequently to tend to his ranches and was hardly ever at the Clutter house. He was the one who rented out the house to the film crew for the 1967 movie. Tragically, Bob Byrd committed suicide after 20 years of owning the property – though not inside the house.
In 1990, Leonard and Donna Mader purchased the house from two of Bob Byrd's relatives who lived there for a time after his suicide. The Maders were long-time Holcomb residents already familiar with the Clutter house, having visited there numerous times.
In 2006 the house went up for sale – actually, it went up for auction. But it failed to get an adequate minimum bid and was subsequently taken off the market. Presumably it is still owned by the Mader family.
Here are some interior photos from when the house was listed in 2006:
Above is the kitchen with original cabinets designed by Herb Clutter himself.
Below: the ominous steps to the basement where Mr. Clutter was shot and killed:

(Don't worry – I didn't use any dead body pictures in this post.)
The upstairs hallway:
The master bedroom where Mrs. Clutter was found dead:
That same bedroom in 1959 after her body had been removed:
Another upstairs bedroom:
Truman Capote posed here for a magazine article promoting his book in 1967:
The current owners of the Clutter murder scene house have been pestered by morbid lookiloos since they first bought the house over 2 decades ago.
At one point in the early 1990's they were so frustrated with all the unwanted visitors, that they decided to open the house up for tours and charge people a $5 fee so that they could have some monetary compensation for their troubles. The house tours, however, were short-lived because the Mader family grew weary of having to keep their home in show-ready "museum" condition. (Ugh, I know the feeling!) Plus, relatives of the deceased accused the Maders of trying to profit from the tragedy.
Rumors persist that the house is haunted by the ghost of Nancy Clutter – the pretty teenage daughter of Herb Clutter – whose apparition is said to walk the house at night. But this claim is probably more of an internet fabrication than a true tale since the current owners claim no paranormal activity takes place there.
Today, the entrance to the property on Oak Avenue is guarded by large "No Trespassing" and "Private Drive" signs.
But people still show up at the end of the lane to take pictures and gawk at the house where 4 members of the Clutter family were killed in cold blood.
Truman Capote's non-fiction book In Cold Blood, went on the become one of the best-selling true crime novels of all time.
Sadly, Capote became so obsessed with the case that he descended into severe depression and alcoholism and never again published another full-length book. He died in 1984 from liver cancer.
No happy endings in this one folks. 🙁
***Please note that the former Clutter house on Oak Avenue is a privately owned residence. Please respect the right to privacy of the current occupants of the house.
