This is my first review so bare with me.
I have had these in my system for a little while now. Although I don't get as much listen time in as I want I still enjoy just sitting back and listening to the music. I say that because previously when I listened to music I found myself analyzing it instead of just enjoying it. I really believe these cables are one of the reasons why I've changed.
First let me say the build quality is beyond reproach. I was very impressed when I pulled them out of the box.They were heavy but still manageable. Every part of these cables screams quality. I gave them 25 hours of burn time before sitting down and giving them a good listen.
I like to use Diana Krall"s Greatest Hits as my initial source music. I'm very familiar with each song so it is the best music for me to use. Soundstaging,detail and overall clarity was excellent. Separation was very good,also. I could pinpoint each instrument and they were exactly where they should be. I was most impressed with the bass. The previous cables that I was using left me worried about having to upgrade my Lsi15's but after using these my worries were gone.
I have used many cables(MIT,Signal,Kimber,Canare,etc) and these rank right up there with anything I've ever have had before. I'm kinda famous for always flippng gear due to one reason or another but I can now say that I will not need to change my speaker cables ever again. These are keepers.
If you ever get a chance to get your ears on these,do it. These are maybe what some would call "budget" cables but they perform well and above their pricepoint. They are made by our own helipilotdoug. Doug's a great guy to deal with. He even sends a use and care sheet along with the cables. I alos have a couple pair of his IC's which I'll review in a separate posting. They are equally as impressive.
Heres a link so you can see what I'm talking about:

Dr. John Snarey, professor of human development and ethics at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University, has been elected Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA), an honor rarely given to those teaching in seminaries.
Fellows may be elected through one of several divisions within the APA. Snarey was elected through the Division of Developmental Psychology.
The professor, now in this 20th year at Candler, was "thrilled" by the prestigious election and pleased that the review committee "recognized the unity of my work."
"This is a signal achievement for both Professor Snarey and for Candler," said Jan Love, dean of Candler School of Theology. "His research, like that of other Candler professors, stretches across disciplines to bring theology into significant interaction with other fields. I am delighted that a non-religious and non-theological professional association has recognized John for his remarkable scholarship."
Snarey is a developmental/cultural psychologist and educator whose areas of interest include adolescent and adult development, personality and social-moral development, and the psychology of religious experiences. He also serves as an associate professor in the Department of Psychology and the Division of Educational Studies. He has authored or co-authored or coedited six books and 60 articles or chapters.
"It's all about how people become better people," Snarey summarizes.
His recent interests include neuropsychology and a longitudinal study on the moral development of Liberian women. Snarey's lab at Emory University is devoted to the study of moral cognition, development, and education. Current projects make use of longitudinal, cross-cultural, and brain-imaging research methods.
The election "is a very great honor for him and the source of great pride
among his colleagues at the Candler School of Theology," said Dr. Timothy P. Jackson, associate professor of Christian ethics and chair of the Department of Christianity and Culture, the department in which Snarey works.
"Status as a Fellow is extended only to those 'who have shown evidence of unusual and outstanding contributions or performance in the field of psychology,' as the APA notes," Jackson continued. "Indeed, the individual must demonstrate 'national impact.'
"Professor Snarey continues to have a wonderful impact locally as well in such courses for his current students as 'The Psychology of Moral Development' and his 'Seminar on William James.' Jackson commented, "These classes are roundly admired for bridging the gap between abstract theory and lived experience in ethics and religion, and I have long wanted to sit in on them. I am now more determined than ever to do so."
Snarey grew up the son of a steelworker and grandson of a coalminer in western Pennsylvania. He believes he has been "unusually blessed in terms of opportunities that have come my way."
A graduate of Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA, Snarey earned his master's and doctoral degrees from Harvard University and completed postdoctoral studies in cognitive neuroscience at Emory University.
Previous accolades include the James D. Moran Book Award from the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences for his 1993 book, "How Fathers Care for the Next Generation: A Four-decade Study," and the Moral Education Book Award from the Educational Research Association for his 2004 co-authored book, "Race-ing Moral Formation.

Letter to the editor:
I was thinking after the controversary of the Nativity in the town square, of my memories of growing up in Oskaloosa during the holidays. I remember what a big deal it was to come to town shopping on Friday nights when all the stores were open and seeing the Christmas displays in the store windows downtown. Oskaloosa was a busy metropolis with some of the businesses of the time like, Alsop's department store, with a wonderful housewares section in the basement, Sunstrums, Seiferts, Grahams and Younkers department stores, Kresge's and Woolworths, Montgomery Ward and Pennys. As a child one of my favorite places was Western Auto toy section. It was a simpler life with families dressed up and shopping together, visiting Santa, the Salvation Army band playing on the corner. I remember food counters and the bulk candy departments at dime stores. I remember a huge Nativity scene on the hill in Forest Cemetary. A new special Christmas dress to wear to the church and school Christmas programs and going caroling in Cedar with my church youth group. Going to Grandpa and Grandmas and seeing all my cousins, the special Christmas foods and baking together. Christmas music and shows with Bing Crosby, Andy Williams, Perry Como. My wish for this Christmas is that parents think about the memories they are creating for their children of Christmas. We need to all think about the true meaning of the holidays and how important family and friends are. Let us reach out those less fortunate, those who are alone, or whose loved ones cannot be with them. I would hope that for one day we can all put away all the technology that is consuming our lives and truly enjoy the season with our loved ones. We are so blessed to live in Oskaloosa and we need to slow down and enjoy the season and be thankful we can create special memories. Oskaloosa square is like an old fashioned Christmas card.

Thanks for the daily minor league updates, Seth & Company. Your write-ups were a morning staple, with my first cup of coffee in the morning. Nice work.
There is something to rewarding these guys and adding them to the 40-man, with the prospect that it might encourage them to resign as minor league free agents with you again in 2014 if they don't get better offers...the major league salary for 20+ games is surely a great seasonal bonus.
Is there someone more deserving, that might open the season with the Twins next year, and not on the 40-man. That is the question to ask.
I thought there might be. And maybe even like another poster said, more innings for Trevor May in blowouts (who is on the 40-man) for example.
No one was truly cut, so that is a blessing.
But it may be brutal this offseason. And some of these AAA guys will stay on (shades of Drew Butera) in case the Twins need roster adjustment/movement further down the road. (Which is when Deduno may be cut if his injury is year long...other rosters are set waaay too well and you can usually sneak a guy or two thru during the winter meetings or the end of the free agency period that will still stay in the organization in some capacity).
Plus, it is pretty amazing how many 41st-44th players are out there or as minor league free agents. We saw a few of them this season with the Twins, and short-term in the Twins system.Joel Thingvall

Therefore, this begs the question, why call anyone up, then, but to give each organizational guy his service medal? Has Josmil Pinto benefitted his career prospects from his September call-up? If Tonkin puts a series of zeroes up over the last 3 weeks, does it help him or hurt him going into Spring Training? And how does not getting Major League experience in the lower-stress environment of out-of-contention September, help guys like May and the other more legit prospects who actually have good chances of building on that experience going into next year? And I don't recall anyone saying that non-prospects playing is the end of the world, just that it's a waste of resources and opportunities. And to follow the logic in your post, since in your view, the club is just looking to reward organizational guys, why not call up all 40 on the roster, they all pretty much fill the bill as "organizational guys", don't they? Wouldn't that be even more "classy"?, or would that be the kind of move that's "silly"?
This looks like another way that some can find to defend the Twins at all costs, even in the midst of the third consecutively comical and drearily dreadful season of 90+ losses. That changes and reprioritizations aren't critically necessary at this point in breaking the cycle, sending a message that enough is enough, and consciously changing the direction of the club, says a lot about those in charge, and the element of the fan base still willing to wallow in the financially-tax-subsidized success, but on-field failure, Stockholm-syndrome style.

I am a little surprised that Danny Santana didn't get a call up. SS has hardly been a bastion of stellar play and Santana could either show he is ready or give the message to Florimon that he needs to improve to keep the job. Since Santana is already on the 40 man it wouldn't have taken any roster moves.

Besides, I can think of only one poster at TD who defends the front office at all costs (and I suspect he would disagree with that). I'm not sure why arguments are constantly being tailored in this way. It really does sell short a lot of good arguments. Just something to think about.

I agree with diehard. It isn't a matter of defending the front office at all costs, it is picking fights that matter. Of course Pinto is helping his cause a bit for the future. He is getting to play everyday. Whoever the 31st and 32nd guys are, won't. It might as well be Fryer and Martis as anybody else you might name. Also there are other considerations that get miminized or ignored. Some pitchers have put in a lot of innings already(such as May) and may get more (May in the AFL). I think largely, the late season promotion thing can be interesting, but because it is such a small sample, its results tend to be overblown. Clearly most of the evaluation on these guys is based on their season long work, not some potential few innings or games at the end of a long season. Even if they occur in the majors.

They've gone up in price and aren't really worth it anymore. Used to be able to purchase them for relatively cheap, and a lot of times they would reach sales. Now they're pretty expensive and people buy them up, otherwise I would probably still buy a few. Same thing is slowly happening to Gitman, but at least Gitman has some cool prints coming out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kiki730 from robe hook versatility I purchased two of these hooks. I have a newly remodeled bathroom and a towel bar would not look right in the bath. I needed someplace to hang my washcloth so I installed one of these hooks in there. I also needed a hook next to my vanity to hang my curling iron and hairdryer I use every day.The hooks are a very nice finish and look great with the other fixtures.

Rated 1 out of 5 by MaryJean from Ok, maybe it's me because I've read the other ratings and no one mentioned their towels/robes falling off this hook. No matter how I tried to get my towel to hang on this hook, it kept sliding off. I love the look and it matches the set but I didn't find it functional. I instead bought the DN6703 (Item #)and it works great, holds two towels, is good quality and costs less.

Museum Goers Strip Down To View Nude Exhibit
By editor
Originally published on Wed February 20, 2013 9:41 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. An exhibit in a Vienna Museum titled "Nude Men From 1800 to the Present Day" drew a group of 60 present-day men who stripped down to view it. It was a special after-hours tour; they viewed the exhibition in nothing but socks and shoes. The tour guide was dressed. One of the men who viewed the art in his birthday suit first saw it while clothed. He said it's perfect to see naked men as a naked man. It's MORNING EDITION.

New Castle News
Students at Laurel Elementary School had been preparing for a visit from Charles R. Smith Jr. for weeks.
Tuesday afternoon they watched in the school's music room as the young author's stories came to life.
The writer, photographer, illustrator and poet entertained and educated his audience, reciting from some of the 30 children's books he has written.
He spoke to students describing the characters in his books, including "Black Jack," about former heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson.
He also read "I am American," which celebrates diversity throughout the land and "Brick by Brick," which tells the story of the people who built the White House, including slaves.
"Dance with Me" is a book best read with thyme and rhythm with the aid of drumsticks.
Smith's appearance was part of the annual Author Visit sponsored by the Westminster College chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, the international honor society in the field of education.
Dr. Harold Dunn, principal, said the students knew who they would be seeing and what it was about before they entered the music room.
Sarah Marcotullio, one of four kindergarten teachers at Laurel Elementary, said her class read Smith's "Dance with Me" and did a project that included writing in sentences about the book.
"They already knew many of his stories," said Marcotullio, who noted that the students made cards which were presented to the author.
Students form the high school drew illustrations from some of Smith's books. They were displayed near the entrance with a banner welcoming the author.
Teacher Jen Hileman said her class had been reading from Smith's books for weeks.
In between reading and performing, Smith delivered his message to students.
"Confidence is when you believe in yourself," he said. "If you believe in yourself and are willing to work and stay positive, you can make your dreams come true."
Smith knows that first hand.
He set his goals on becoming a writer and photographer and pursued every opportunity until he made it happen, moving from Los Angeles to New York.
"Right now they are just learning how to learn," Smith said of his youthful audience. "I want them to know that learning is fun and education is the key to not only achieving your goals, but setting them."
Following two sessions at the Laurel school with kindergarten through second grade students, Smith spoke at Wesminster's McKelvey Campus Center and yesterday at the New Wilmington Elementary School.
Smith lives in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., with his wife and three children.

The temperature in Baghdad, Iraq on the morning of March 10, 2010 was approaching a humid 80 Degrees by 11:00 AM. On the surface this appeared to be just another hot, sandy day in this war torn nation, but today would be different.
American troops were on high alert but determined to see the important events of this day carried through. This day was important because it was Election Day in Iraq and there were hopes that democracy would endure and the turnout would be high.
It is altogether fitting and proper that it would be American Troops that shielded the Iraqis as they exercised their right to vote, because in the United States the right to vote is conceived in the proposition that all men are created equal. The struggle to secure for our citizens their right to vote is a fundamental element of our history, from the Women's Suffrage Convention at Seneca Falls, to the passing of the 15th Amendment declaring that citizens cannot be denied the right to vote based on race or color, to the 19th Amendment guaranteeing women's right to vote; we treat the right to vote as sacred to our democracy.
At this very moment, the right to vote is again tested, not on the streets of Baghdad but rather right here in America. In the months before the 2012 presidential election, Republican legislatures and governors across the country are rewriting voting laws to make it much harder for the young, the old, and the poor– groups that typically vote Democratic- to cast a ballot. [1]
Former President Clinton has warned that the likes of these Republican attacks on voting rights in Pennsylvania and Ohio had not been seen since we got rid of the poll tax and other Jim Crow burdens on voting. At the Democratic National Convention President Clinton said, "Do you really want to live in a country where one party is so desperate to win the White House that they go around trying to make it harder for people to vote if they're people of color, poor people or first generation immigrants?"[2]
In 2010 the Iraqis defied a barrage of mortars and rockets and went to the polls in large numbers. In 2012, despite the Republican attempts to suppress our voting rights, we must defy the Republicans and go to the polls in large numbers to ensure that a nation conceived in liberty will endure.

York Times/Editorial/The Republican Threat to Voting/Published: April 27, 2011/pageA26

It happened just before 9:00 Wednesday night. The Kansas Highway Patrol says 56-year-old Alan Zeller was driving southbound on I-235 when he crossed the center line and hit a pickup. Troopers say it appears Zeller then lost control and his vehicle ended up in a ditch.
Zeller was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the other vehicle was not hurt.
The KHP is investigating the crash.

Parallel Computing Toolbox
You can execute parallel applications interactively and in batch using Parallel Computing Toolbox. Using the
parpool command, you can connect your MATLAB session to a pool of MATLAB workers that can run either locally on your desktop (using the toolbox) or on a computer cluster (using MATLAB Distributed Computing Server) to setup a dedicated interactive parallel execution environment. You can execute parallel applications from the MATLAB prompt on these workers and retrieve results immediately as computations finish, just as you would in any MATLAB session.
Running applications interactively is suitable when execution time is relatively short. When your applications need to run for a long time, you can use the toolbox to set them up to run as batch jobs. This enables you to free your MATLAB session for other activities while you execute large MATLAB and Simulink applications.
While your application executes in batch, you can shut down your MATLAB session and retrieve results later. The toolbox provides several mechanisms to manage offline execution of parallel programs, such as the
batch function and
job and
task objects. Both the
batch function and the
job and
task objects can be used to offload the execution of serial MATLAB and Simulink applications from a desktop MATLAB session.

Four Reasons to Give 'The Mob Doctor' A Second Chance
October 8th, 2012 1:50pm EDT
One of the biggest things I've learned in life is never to give much weight to first impressions. If I did, I wouldn't have ever hung out with a girl who came to be my best friend in high school, and a pretty good one today as I thought she was a tree-hugging weirdo and she thought I was stuck up. Both judgments couldn't be further from the truth. This is the same reason why I give new television shows three chances to hook me. I'm so grateful that I have, otherwise I would have given up on some pretty spectacular shows, the most recent being Fox's "The Mob Doctor" before the freshman drama ever had the chance to find its voice.
After watching the brilliant trailer about a young thoracic surgeon at a prominent Chicago hospital forced to work off her brother's debt to a mobster, I was thoroughly disappointed by the pilot that seemed to ignore the more enticing mob-based storyline for the clichéd trappings of a standard medical procedural. In a nutshell, it needed more taking of lives and less saving them.
Two episodes later, "The Mob Doctor" has been miraculously cured of most of its failings, growing into an engaging, suspenseful crime drama with some juicy medical gore tossed in for extra drama.
Here are four reasons to give Fox's "The Mob Doctor" a second chance…
Jordana Spiro/Dr. Grace Devlin. Even as a self-diagnosed hopeless romantic, I get tired of shows centered on young ingénues who prance about some alluring metropolis in designer dresses and five-inch heels, lamenting about their love lives and split ends more than their careers. Star Jordano Spiro ("My Boys") breaths a strong-shouldered spirit into Dr. Grace Devlin, a woman who protected her little brother from the burden of her abusive childhood all while striving to become a talented and accomplished surgeon. She saves lives, thus she barely wears any make-up and probably doesn't even own a stitch of pink, and more importantly, she isn't cowed by intimidating surgeons with God complexes or powerful and/or corrupt men. She is a wild horse, bucking in the reigns of the mobster's control. It may be to her detriment, but it's to the audience's delight.
It's a love story. Beyond the captivating medical and family drama and entertainingly callous mob dealings, 'The Mob Doctor' deftly weaves romance into its medical and crime tapestry. Constantine loves not only Grace as a daughter, but has a complicated history with her mother (Wendy Makkena) and her father's mysterious death. Meanwhile, Grace is dating the upstanding Dr. Brett Robinson (Zach Gilford) even though she maintains a prickly friendship with first love and Constantine flunky, Franco (the dreamy-eyed James Carpinello). This love trapezoid provides a sexy foil to all of the double-crossing and backstabbing, and more than that, it gives a reason for most of it.
There's no such thing as a good mobster. Network television executives can often be naïve enough to think that even today's contemporary audiences aren't sophisticated or twisted enough to root for a true criminal. I was worried that the career mobster who owns Dr. Grace Devlin's debt would be painted with the same brush as "General Hospital's" Sonny Corinthos—a mobster with a heart of gold who receives shipments not of guns or drugs, but a mysterious "good" product. The third episode enthusiastically refuted that theory, establishing career mobster Constantine Alexander (a convincing William Forsythe) as a man with great compassion for his friends and equal disdain for his enemies. He holds grudges, barely flinches when trusted employees are picked off by car bombs and murders as easily as he breathes. This is an anti-hero I can root for.
Dr. Devlin's not the only mob doctor. So far, Dr. Devlin has saved a criminal being poisoned by his wife, an alcoholic cop who plowed into a family while bombed, and some low-level mook with a screwdriver stuck in his head. SPOILER ALERT—In the closing seconds of the third episode, it's revealed that Grace is not the only one with mad medical skills and nothing is ever at it seems. Franco, who had been tasked with disposing of a rival mobster's body, actually patched him up and shipped him off to the countryside to heal in an apparent attempt to take down his own boss. It was a sublime reveal for a show that needed a game-changing twist, and had me ecstatic that Michael Rapaport's character, who was shockingly murdered in the first episode, will return for more mobby shenanigans.
"The Mob Doctor" airs Mondays on FOX at 9 pm EST.

I have been researching my family's history for thirty seven years and hope that by posting the graves of family members here I am helping to leave a legacy for the future generations of our family. All of my research honors my father Jackson Gibson Wilkinson who started me on this quest to learn about our family. As he was suffering with cancer in 1975 , we together began to write down his memories of family stories, events and people. I promised him that I would continue to research until I could write a definitive family history. I hope that my beloved younger cousins Tommy & Maureen, Andy& Christeen, Christine, Cheryl & Bob, Karen Anne & Anthony, Jerry and Lisa, Rob and Mary, Scott and Michelle, Kim and David, Christopher, Rebecca and their wonderful children Delaney, Riley, Tommy, Emily, Abigail, Ryan, Anthony, Mia Rose, Erin Theresa, Dylan Andrew,Little Jer and Adleigh will keep up this work when I am gone!

2012 London Olympics: Ye Shiwen Uses Superb Freestyle Leg to Power to IM Sweep With Olympic Record in 200 IM; Alicia Coutts, Caitlin Leverenz 2-3; Ariana Kukors Fifth
July 31, 2012
is a proud sponsor of Swimming World's editorial coverage of the U.S. Olympic Trials and London Games.
Full wall-to-wall coverage, including photo galleries, athlete interviews, recaps and columns are available at the
Event Landing Page
LONDON, England, July 31. THE figure at the center of much controversy after blasting the world-record in the women's 400-meter IM, 16-year-old Ye Shiwen of China swept the IM events at the 2012 London Olympics with an Olympic record.
Standing third heading into the final 50 meters, Ye blasted a 29.32 final split to win the event in 2:07.57. That performance cleared her Olympic record of 2:08.39 from the semifinal round, which had stood as the overall textile best as well. The time also bettered the Asian record of 2:08.32 set by Qi Hui in October of 2009, moving Ye to fourth all time in the event's history. Ariana Kukors' world record of 2:06.15 from the 2009 World Championships remained on the books.
With the win, Ye equaled Stephanie Rice's IM sweep from 2008, and earned her second Olympic gold medal. She now has three international meet victories on her resume, after winning the 200 IM at the 2011 World Championships last summer.
The pundits have been out in full force either support or attacking Ye this week, some calling her a potential drug cheat due to China's history. The controversy came to a boiling point, with the IOC even coming out in defense of the 16-year-old today.
"I couldn't lose the race," Ye said. "I didn't expect the others to swim so fast. I was surprised. It's ok, [the negative media coverage] didn't affect me."
Australia's Alicia Coutts finished second in 2:08.15 to jump to fifth in the all time rankings. The silver is her third Olympic medal of the meet, one of each color. She won gold with the 400 free relay and took bronze in the 100 fly.
"I'm really happy with that swim. It's a massive PB (personal best) for me. The wait is over," Coutts said. "I knew that Shiwen had a very fast last 50m. But I've put in some seriously hard work. Even if I didn't swim fast enough to get a medal, I wanted a PB."
USA's Caitlin Leverenz raced to bronze with a 2:08.95 on the back of a dominant breaststroke leg. That gave the U.S. its third bronze in four meets, which also included a silver from Amanda Beard in 2004. The medal is her first at any elite international meet. She did get regional bronze in both IMs at the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships.
"I just went into the race knowing that I could be in the hunt for a medal," Leverenz said. "I'm going to put myself out there and race and give it everything I got, you know this is my one shot, and I did, and I'm really, really happy with how it turned out. I was like overjoyed with emotion when I turned round and saw that I had gotten third and able to get on the medal stand for my country. It was an amazing feeling.
"I knew in order to get a medal I would have to be first at the 150m wall because freestyle is not my strength and I know breaststroke is," Leverenz continued. "When I turned with those girls I knew I just had to keep holding on, trying not to fall off too much on freestyle. It goes to show I still have some areas I can work on and be even better. [Shiwen]'s an amazing swimmer and she had another great race tonight and the first one to take home two Olympic golds is pretty incredible."
Defending champ Rice placed fourth in 2:09.55, while world-record holder Kukors took fifth in 2:09.83. Defending silver medalist Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe placed sixth in 2:11.13, while Great Britain's Hannah Miley (2:11.29) and Hungary's Katinka Hosszu (2:14.19) also swam in the finale.

Every year, thousands of people flock to Key Largo to experience the world-class snorkeling. Most return home to live their everyday lives.
But a select few choose to stay in the Keys and make snorkeling a way of life.
Yet, fewer still experience snorkeling to the degree of the McPheeters family.
On July 1, Bill, Julia and their adult son Perry made their thousandth snorkeling trip with the Sundiver III.
"We decided to go on vacation and made our first trip with Sundiver May 6, 2002," said Bill McPheeters.
From there their love of snorkeling grew, completing their one hundredth trip in 2007 and five hundredth trip in 2011. Each trip and every dive was with Sundiver Snorkeling Tours.
"People go out and walk around the park, we go out and swim around the reef." Bill said. "We do this for exercise and have completed as many as 22 trips in one month."
However, the number of dives isn't all that stands out with this family. Every dive has been carefully documented and photographed.
"I've taken 40,000 underwater photos of the Marine Sanctuary dating back to 2003," Bill said. And Perry, the McPheeters' son, has spinal bifida.
"We were refused service in Key West because of my son's handicap," Bill said.
But diving from the Sundiver III, Perry, who uses a sea scooter and also free dives, is able to get on and off the boat.
"We built the boat for the comfort of our passengers," Sundiver co-owener Kathie Theiss said. "The rear panels are removable and there's a nice dive platform that's almost level with the water."
When Perry was asked about his most memorable dive he replied, "The first time I saw a spotted eagle ray, I was like 'Wow!' here's a fish that looks like an airplane."
To celebrate the family's momentous dive, friends gathered in Key Largo and presented the McPheeters were with a plaque.

Today is the absolute best time to do something you may have never done before — make an appointment with yourself.
I know it's tough. You have company for the holidays. You stayed up late last night. You're tired, but can't slow down for fear of not getting everything done.
Those are only a few of the reasons you need to make that appointment.
On the first day of the new year, we have all been given a clean slate, and Tuesday we will begin to write upon it.
How sad it would be if we don't take the time to get alone for a few minutes, do some evaluating and get a clearer idea of what kinds of things we will write on this fresh new page of our lives.
New Year's resolutions have never really worked for me, but setting goals has. I find I accomplish far more if I aim at something than if I just set out randomly hoping to be a better person this year.
That concept is too vague and doesn't define any specific changes I want to make.
The goals do not have to be lofty and impressive. Simple ones are more likely to be reached. In addition to the goal, there needs to be a set of objectives — a concrete plan consisting of steps I will take to reach that goal.
I would also suggest starting with some type of a spiritual goal rather than the annual plan to lose weight, stop smoking or break some other habit. Those are all good goals, but I truly believe that unless we deal with the inside of us, we won't have much success in changing outward actions.
Here are some guidelines I've used over the years to help me set some goals for the new year.
- Sit down and think about just one thing you would like to change. It might be a negative attitude, a tendency to criticize too much, a tendency to gossip or a habit of whining and complaining all the time.
- Picture yourself the way you would like to be once you have overcome the obstacle you've identified.
- Think of some circumstances in which you often practice that mindset or habit. List each one, and then write out a statement that provides a strategy for changing your behavior. For example, if you tend to always be saying something negative, your strategy statement might be, "I will think before I speak and weigh the consequences of what I'm about to say. If it will hurt someone, pull down someone's mood or take the conversation on a negative bent, I will either be silent or find a way to make a positive statement."
- Dr. Phil says we never break a habit. We have to replace it with another one. You might list some actual statements you could make. You may need to look for the root causes of your negativity. Is it just a habit you've fallen into, or are there some issues you haven't addressed about yourself? Criticism is usually a mirror — we criticize something in someone else because we don't like that characteristic in ourselves. Deal with the person in the mirror, and half the battle is won.
- Be firm with yourself and work toward consistency. This is why it's best to tackle one change at a time, rather than a whole list. Change takes time, and making one change at a time makes us stronger and more able to tackle others.
- Practice. Practice. Practice. Practice the new behavior until it's as natural as breathing. You will see results.
I wish you a Happy New Year and one filled with wonder, hope, love and good, positive changes in your life.
The most important story you will ever write is your own. Write it carefully, and write it well.

President Barack Obama sent Speaker of the House John Boehner, Ohio Republican, a letter on Monday stating the administration's move to begin muliti-lateral military operations in Libya as a result of authorization from United Nation's Security Council. I have bolded areas in the letter to show Mr. Obama's justification for this military operation as a result of only U.N. authorization.
Dear Mr. Speaker:(Dear Mr. President:)
At approximately 3:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on March 19, 2011, at my direction, U.S. military forces commenced operations to assist an international effort authorized by the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council and undertaken with the support of European allies and Arab partners, to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and address the threat posed to international peace and security by the crisis in Libya. As part of the multilateral response authorized under U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973, U.S. military forces, under the command of Commander, U.S. Africa Command, began a series of strikes against air defense systems and military airfields for the purposes of preparing a no-fly zone. These strikes will be limited in their nature, duration, and scope. Their purpose is to support an international coalition as it takes all necessary measures to enforce the terms of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973. These limited U.S. actions will set the stage for further action by other coalition partners.
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 authorized Member States, under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, to take all necessary measures to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in Libya, including the establishment and enforcement of a "no-fly zone" in the airspace of Libya. United States military efforts are discrete and focused on employing unique U.S. military capabilities to set the conditions for our European allies and Arab partners to carry out the measures authorized by the U.N. Security Council Resolution.
Muammar Qadhafi was provided a very clear message that a cease-fire must be implemented immediately. The international community made clear that all attacks against civilians had to stop; Qadhafi had to stop his forces from advancing on Benghazi; pull them back from Ajdabiya, Misrata, and Zawiya; and establish water, electricity, and gas supplies to all areas. Finally, humanitarian assistance had to be allowed to reach the people of Libya.
Although Qadhafi's Foreign Minister announced an immediate cease-fire, Qadhafi and his forces made no attempt to implement such a cease-fire, and instead continued attacks on Misrata and advanced on Benghazi. Qadhafi's continued attacks and threats against civilians and civilian populated areas are of grave concern to neighboring Arab nations and, as expressly stated.
in U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973, constitute a threat to the region and to international peace and security. His illegitimate use of force not only is causing the deaths of substantial numbers of civilians among his own people, but also is forcing many others to flee to neighboring countries, thereby destabilizing the peace and security of the region. Left unaddressed, the growing instability in Libya could ignite wider instability in the Middle East, with dangerous consequences to the national security interests of the United States. Qadhafi's defiance of the Arab League, as well as the broader international community moreover, represents a lawless challenge to the authority of the Security Council and its efforts to preserve stability in the region. Qadhafi has forfeited his responsibility to protect his own citizens and created a serious need for immediate humanitarian assistance and protection, with any delay only putting more civilians at risk.
The United States has not deployed ground forces into Libya. United States forces are conducting a limited and well-defined mission in support of international efforts to protect civilians and prevent a humanitarian disaster. Accordingly, U.S. forces have targeted the Qadhafi regime's air defense systems, command and control structures, and other capabilities of Qadhafi's armed forces used to attack civilians and civilian populated areas. We will seek a rapid, but responsible, transition of operations to coalition, regional, or international organizations that are postured to continue activities as may be necessary to realize the objectives of U.N. Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973.
President Obama is facing fierce criticism on Capitol Hill from both parties for not consulting Congress before he took military action. The Washington Times Editorial page, this weekend, expresses concern that the President's decision to execute military operations because of U.N. authorization is troubling, as issues of our nation's sovereignty and U.N. limitations regarding military action in other countries will only hamstring the Untied States: (bolding is mine)
With Thursday's passage of United Nations Security Council resolution 1973, the United States is set to go to war against Libya. Removing Moammar Gadhafi from power would probably advance the cause of freedom, but the United Nations has no legal authority to take a step of this magnitude. By bowing to the will of the U.N. Security Council, President Obama is diluting the sovereign power of the United States.
The U.N. resolution authorizes member states to take a number of military and nonmilitary actions to protect the people of Libya from Col. Gadhafi's government. Under its own rules, however, the United Nations cannot legally authorize military action to shape the internal affairs of member states. Article 2 section 7 of the U.N. charter states that, "Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter." Chapter VII of the charter, which enumerates U.N. intervention powers, applies only to international breaches of the peace. The December 1981 U.N. "Declaration on the Inadmissibility of Intervention and Interference in the Internal Affairs of States" reaffirmed this principle with its solemn declaration that, "No State or group of States has the right to intervene or interfere in any form or for any reason whatsoever in the internal and external affairs of other States."
Unlike President George W. Bush, Mr. Obama does not have the same Congressional authorization Mr. Bush had, when the 43rd president ordered strikes in both Iraq and Afghanistan: Public Law 107 – 243 – Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002.
It should also be noted that President Obama has half the coalition partners in this military action than President Bush had during the initial strikes in Iraq and Afghanistan, Fox Nation reports. Interestingly, as a Senator and presidential candidate President Obama attacked President Bush for taking "unilateral" action in Iraq.
The Boston Globe interviewed then-Senator Obama in 2007 on the use of unilateral military action: (bolding is mine)
Question: In what circumstances, if any, would the president have constitutional authority to bomb Iran without seeking a use-of-force authorization from Congress? (Specifically, what about the strategic bombing of suspected nuclear sites — a situation that does not involve stopping an IMMINENT threat?)
Obama: The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.
As Commander-in-Chief, the President does have a duty to protect and defend the United States. In instances of self-defense, the President would be within his constitutional authority to act before advising Congress or seeking its consent. History has shown us time and again, however, that military action is most successful when it is authorized and supported by the Legislative branch. It is always preferable to have the informed consent of Congress prior to any military action.
Not only does President Obama, apparently, take authorization for military action more seriously from U.N. than from Congress, he also contradicts his original philosophy as well. The question remains obvious: Who exactly doe Barack Obama believe he answers to? It is continuing to look like it's not the American people.

SESers honored for distinguished service, saving $94B in 2012
Each year, the Presidential Distinguished Rank Awards honor members of the Senior Executive Service for their accomplishments. But this year, one very important group of federal employees was left out. Carol Bonosaro, president of the Senior Executives Association, said she's frustrated that this year's event included no winners from the intelligence community because the White House has yet to approve their nominations. An ODNI official said intelligence community winners will be announced soon.

Another Ohio funk band, they began as First Class in 1975. Jermaine Jackson discovered the group that included lead vocalist Phillip Ingram and Bobby DeBarge, Greg Williams, Tommy DeBarge, Eddie Fluellan, and Jody Sims. They had a huge hit in 1978 with "There'll Never Be," a Top Ten R&B single. They also had two others during their tenure on Gordy, "I Call Your Name" in 1979 and "Love Over and Over Again" in 1980. Phillip Ingram went on his own in 1980, and Bobby and Tommy also departed to join the family group DeBarge. Percussionist/vocalist Renard Gallo and Gonzales Ozen and keyboardist Attala Zane Giles were their replacements. They left Gordy for Total Experience in 1984, cutting the LP Am I Still Your Boyfriend? ~ Ron WynnPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

A Baltimore man faces up to five years in federal prison and millions of dollars in fines after pleading guilty Monday to distributing 1,000 copyrighted software programs, federal officials announced.
In the plea agreement, Naveed Sheikh admitted conspiring to distribute more than 1,000 copies of software like Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, Quicken and various operating systems using several websites, server space in Scranton, PA and at a Bel Air home between February 2003 and April 2008.
Sheikh allowed purchasers to either download the software or have it shipped to them. Sheikh informed customers that the software had been "cracked"—illegally circumventing copy protection, according to prosecutors. He accepted payments via a P.O. box in Towson.
In addition to possible fines and jail time, Sheikh agreed to pay $4 million in restitution.
According to the facts laid out in the plea agreement, Sheikh set up several fake websites and a post office box under the name of "Turkish Lamps." Customers who paid by credit card saw a charge under the name of "Laundryland," once a Reisterstown laundromat run by Sheikh's relatives which closed in 2004.
Prosecutors said Sheikh misled federal investigators by claiming he had rented his computer space to someone else, whom he had been led to believe was selling computer training programs. Through his attorney, prosecutors said, he gave investigators fake recorded phone conversations with this person. In November 2010, he fled the United States for Pakistan. He was arrested upon returning to the country in January at Washington Dulles International Airport.
U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett set Sheikh's sentencing for 10 a.m. on Feb. 19, 2013.

Dozens of homeless people who spent the night camped at Westlake Park in downtown Seattle, marched to city hall Wednesday morning to emphasize the need for more homeless housing.
The permitted walk started around 7:45 a.m. at Westlake Park, made its way down 5th Avenue, and tied up traffic for about an hour. The march coincided with a meeting of the Committee to End Homelessness in King County.
Numbers show roughly 3,000 people sleep on the streets any given night in King County. That number used to be much higher, but the city and county have made progress under the 10-year plan to end homelessness in the county.
Since 2005, the county has been working to build more housing for the chronic homeless, families, and single adults.
The county says it has reached 57 percent of its goal to build 9,500 units total. The biggest void is in single adult dwellings, with just 1,200 built of the 4,800 planned units.
Director of King County Services Adrienne Quinn said they've helped 34,000 homeless over the past eight years.
"We continue to have new people becoming homeless and now it's time to do even harder work," Quinn said.
