When are you at your most creative?
A new study suggests we're at our creative peak at 10:04 pm. Is this true for you?
I am most creative early in the morning. I wake up around 4:30-5am and I am motivated and excited with many ideas and alot of energy.
I'm a night owl and I ususally come up with my best ideas after midnight and sometimes in the middle of the night. I am also creative when I drive long distances, this gives me time to think and listen to music which is always inspiring.
If I could work all night I would! Not only am I more creative after 10pm but I also have more brainpower and stamina (or probably less distraction). I agree with the above comments that a glass of wine in the evening boosts creativity, but in the long run it tends to make you feel sleepy before midnight.
By the way, it's now 1.00am in Brussels...
Wow, so specific! I'm definitely not at my most creative around 3-4pm b/c my body always wants ("after school") nap time then. I do like to burn the midnight oil, but I also like the quiet of early mornings.
It does happen sometimes at night for me, but after a good run, bike ride, or long walk, I can be just as creative as at night. It does help to sometimes have a glass of wine but that could be a bad habit to start. I agree the wine helps sometimes if your tired and just not in the mood to be creative but yet you need to get something done.
I'm definitely most creative late at night (and after a few glasses of wine). There's something about the darkness that helps things flow!

The Bod Box
A robot to make you fit, strong, and sexy.
About this project
Here's what Bodbox does (all data, graphs, and most importantly recommendations go straight to your email inbox):
1. Tell you YOUR optimal workout (you first start with our intro workout)
2. Track your workout from afar via color tags (you can add 100s easily) – we'll tell you what you need to tag
3. Optimize workouts based on data it collects (you'll see the raw data, 3d graphs, and more)
4. Your optimal diet, updated in real time based on your workouts, ready to order to your door (shared via Google Calendar)
5. Motivation – music, pumpup tracks timed with your workout via Spotify.
Live explainer workout at Cal Berkeley gym – where all these ideas got started…
The bodbox (www.thebodbox.com) began as a simple hacked together way for Chuck and other pro and olympic athletes to get better. It's raw and authentic even in it's early form. We're only making 50 of this first version. Manufactured by hand. When you buy a box, you join our family. You'll be send raw data, team updates, and be directly involved in the design choices we make moving forward.
there is also more content and background at WWW.THEBODBOX.COM
Order a bodbox and here's what you get:
1. We'll email you with a few questions about your fitness goals.
2. Once your bodbox arrives you'll receive exact instructions about how to charge it the first time and the first medball workout you should do (with a medball or a weighted object wrapped in our tracking tape)
3. The bodbox will send us data wirelessly about your workout that we use to optimize the rest of your workout plan and diet.
4. We'll be chatting directly with you and involving you in the process of our growth. You'll see the raw data and exactly how we're figuring out what is best for you to do with the workout time you have.
5. Our love. Welcome to the Bodbox fam.
Here's what's under the hood:
The way we're building that right now is bare bones and simple – raspberry pi, preloaded SD cards sent to you physically when there's a firmware update or a pro athlete 'takeover', some python, and of course the secret sauce we use to max out your time working out.
Runs on a usb phone battery pack (included) – will run for upwards of 8 hours straight before a charge is needed – if you worked out that long in one day Bod might just give you a day off to charge up again 😉
We are selling the Bod at as close to production cost as possible in order to help as many people as we can – we'll eventually roll out a subscription service too, channeling workouts remotely from the top athletes and thought leaders in the world (Bodbox "takeovers'). But we could care less about the money…
Chuck's only hope is to bring this fun technology and the vast amounts of athletic data behind it to everyone possible. This thing can train with a rock and a peice of tape – we believe that's f-ing powerful and want to leverage that to have the largest impact we can.
What you get:
Check out the levels to the right – everything from magic lessons to an all gold hand delivered version of the bodbox (custom made by two dudes in speedos).
Start up steps (if you're one of the 50 luck Bodbox OG owners/early adopters):
1. Open the first email Bod sends you when your Bodbox arrives.
2. Connect the USB battery pack to the mini computer inside Bod (make sure the battery pack is charged).
3. Set the wifi hotspot on your phone (Bod emails you three step instructions to set this up).
4. Do your workout.
5. Bod team invites you to a workout/diet calendar based on our number crunching to get you fit, healthy, and sexy all with a taped up medball and your new robo friend.
You won't recognize Santa when he comes down the chimney (the next 2mo.)
– kinect camera. this thing can apparently take vitals from afar via tracking changes in your skin color
– underwater applications
– finalizing automated backend and architecting collected data to allow the bod to grow in intelligence organically
– plenty of live stream workouts and additional exploration of api linking and hacking some hardware in general
The Perks:
Tshirt designs: (female and male designs s-xxl):
Coffee by robot:
Robots: Don't worry we'll send you full instructions for the medball workouts as well as troubleshooting, things for you to try with the bodbox and more. Welcome to our team. We're limiting to 50 core robots for this first launch and we'll be updating a map with their positions as they sell 🙂
Bodbox + tank treads
A graphic explainer in GTA art style:
Risks and challenges
– Make sure the data gets back to us from you in a useful manner without requiring too much interaction on a daily basis.
– Make sure you understand that our first consumer application is with a taped up weight or medball but that the applications for this system are pretty incredible.
– Figure out the correct way to waterproof so that you can take on your surfboard, around the pool, or in the bathtub. We're pretty damn close though 🙂
1. Find the ideal camera.
2. Make sure the hardware is super durable.
3. Backend work to automate workout selection and optimization so we can scale to a larger audience.

Even national champions wobble when they shoot a match: no one can hold a pistol perfectly steady. The sloution is to manage the wobble. Most of the time the wobble is in the form of a figure 8 laying on its side. If you keep your sights perfectly aligned and you have a good trigger release your pistol can wobble the size of your target and you will still hit the bull's eye.
The way that I practiced when I shot for several Marine Corps pistol teams is with serious dry firing. I practed to develope my grip, my trigger finger placement, my sight alignment and my trigger release. I dry fired at least thirty minutes a day. Because I was developing the above procedures I snapped in aginst a blank white wall. Any miss alingment of the sights when the trigger was relesed was apparent. When I practiced using ammo I shot in cadence for timed and rapid fire. Meaning that as soon as the sights were aligned I released the trigger whether the sights were at six o'clock or not. Soon I was putting most of my bullets in the X or ten ring.
If you have the shakes and not a wobble I don't know what to tell you. I'm seventy five years old now and I have the shakes so I shoot off of a bench and with sand bags.
Semper Fi.

A senior economist at the International Monetary Fund said he was "ashamed" to have worked for the organization, citing the "incompetence," "failings" and "disastrous" appointments for managing director in the past decade, CNN reported today.
In a blistering resignation letter sent to the IMF executive board, Peter Doyle said the Washington-based lender's failure to issue "timely" and "sustained" warnings to European leaders ahead of the debt crisis had caused suffering for many, including Greece, and left the euro "on the brink."
"The fund for the past two years has been playing catch-up and reactive roles in the last ditch efforts to save it," he wrote in the letter dated June 18.
Doyle, a former adviser to the IMF's European Department, which is running the bailout programs for debt-stricken Greece, Portugal and Ireland, said the current managing director, Christine Lagarde, was "tainted" as "neither her gender, integrity or elan can make up for the fundamental illegitimacy of the selection process," UPI reported.
The BBC noted that there has been widespread criticism over the selection process for the head of the IMF, which has always chosen European.
After 20 years at the IMF, Doyle said he was "ashamed to have had any association with the fund at all."
Doyle signed off the letter saying there were "good salty people here… but this one is moving on. You might want to take care not to lose others."

Safety in storm chasing
Fri, 05 Jul 2013 22:46:39 GMT —
Here in Southwest Georgia we are not imune to severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, but while most are taking shelter during these events there are people who actively chase these storms.
Severe thunderstorms and the tornadoes they can bring are unmatched by any other weather phenomenon in shear fury and destructive power. Tornadoes have the ability to destroy large buildings, toss around railroad cars and even drive pieces of straw through a telephone pole. In spite of this deadly power a growing number of people flock to tornado prone areas to hunt for these rare yet deadly events.
Storm chasing has become a very popular activity in the United States, first brought to the mainstream in the 1996 disaster drama film Twister. This movie dramatized actual research projects and enticed many people to chase storms.
The type of people and their reasons for chasing storms can differ greatly, from skilled scientists hoping to increase scientific knowledge and to protect people, to thrill seekers wanting to test the strength of mother nature. FOX 31 recommend or endorse storm chasing; it can be a dangerous activity with the potential for damage to property, personal injury, disability and death. Chasing storms should only be undertaken by those who have excellent knowledge of severe thunderstorms, their dangers and a proper reason to chase such as passing on accurate information and ground truth about the event to the public to improve safety.
The National Weather Service and local media regularly depends on trained storm spotters for information on severe thunderstorms. FOX 31 works closely with storm spotters who also chase storms and they, above all, preach safety first.
Certified storm spotter Charlie Prochaska says that "yes, there is a lot of danger into this. It's not something that unless you have the training and experience and respect for it; I don't suggest anyone doing it."
Rick Lipscomb, also a certified storm spotter, adds that "if you wanna be a stormchaser learn about weather learn what it can do prepare yourself for what you may see. Safety is the main concern. Anyone can storm chase anyone can jump in a car and say here comes a storm lets go watch it, but do it safely learn about what you are going to hunt."
The National Weather Service regularly offers free storm spotter classes that can help supplement your understanding of severe weather but that is only a start to what you will need.
Prochaska adds, "Find somebody who is out in the field who is trained, experienced. Um, I'm willing to take anybody in fact i'm looking for a chase partner because i have too much technology to keep track of."
Chaser tools can vary by individual but there are a few highly recommended items you may need.
First of all is a good dependable vehicle to chase in and a convertible or motorcycle is not an option.
Cameras, cell phones, weather radios as well as a laptop computer with broadband connectivity and proper radar software are some of what you may need you may also want a helmet and high visibility safety vests for when you may have to exit your vehicle. With all the technology to keep track of, a chase partner can also be key so the driver can focus on the road.
So the bottom line in storm chasing is to be a safe as possible. Safe chasing involves being well prepared, driving carefully and planning an escape route. Have a good understanding of severe weather and the weather at hand before setting out on a chase and don't take unnecessary chances.

Joe Budden - Escape Route (Intro) Lyrics
Joe Budden – Escape Route (Intro) Lyrics
Whats up bitch!
Check me out now!
Look psychotic it's what they call you ignore you going by my logic
That a law will secure you looking through my optics
Lead and steel put pillow in front of me i pop it
Tried to stop it but couldn't look at my eye sockets
My God it makes me skyrocket
Rules to ever do what you can believe that shit and I shot it
And if you couldn't tell I'm on my own time
Prisoner of my own mind problem is I don't mind
Niggas asking what I deem as suc-cess
Life's a bitch I'm just looking up her dress I can give a fuck less
All of a sudden they see me on Joe Budden T.V. and I'm going national
But they judge me and that's a broken gavel
Shock-ing to me how quickly niggas will go and bash you
Never had withdrawals pitfalls that coke and hash do
Never stood in place while everyone was going past you
Keep your opinion to yourself nigga no one asked you
Get used to me far from what I used to be
Provided still throw you a side if you not that used to me
Self-destructive I love it anything that abuses me amuses me
I just hope the whole world excuses me
Hip-Hop got him under all types of scrutiny
I think that the shit scared niggas into noose to me
Wholeheartedly don't want no part of what's a part of me
Moving lithogically so I dare a nigga to spar with me
What I inspire to be never inspired me
Big fan of karma catch twenty-two's eyeing me
Y'all don't understand the types of demons that's inside of me
Rebel with a cause if I do it it's un-defiantly
Raised looking for the machine aiming the ruger
Old so I don't fuck with the youngins I ain't a cougar
Say a prayer for the losers aware of intruders
Everybody around me like the head on Medusa
And so its time to make a move exit
Rubber-band covering the bruise left wrist
Faith in the man I cant prove exist
I really got nothing to lose but a death wish
I aint worried about jewels and a necklace
Me I live life shrewd reckless
Nigga I ignore the rules and the message
Walk away from the shit smooth with a peck kiss mwahh
Y'all ain't hearing me no fear in me
Only nigga brave enough to conspire against a conspiracy
Y'all want to be sick get it in Mariah marry me
But minus any streaks not a peak going to be clear as me
Its, Its!
A message!
Whats up!
They don't understand him though!
Y'all will get it, some things just take time!
Somethings take longer than others, that's what she said!
It's Joey, nigga!

A Chinese drywall manufacturer would pay hundreds of millions of dollars to resolve court claims by thousands of Gulf Coast property owners who say the product wrecked their homes, under a deal that won preliminary approval Tuesday from a federal judge.
In his order, U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon said he believes the proposed class-action settlement is "fair, reasonable and adequate," was negotiated in good faith and is "within the range of possible judicial approval." It's the largest settlement of its kind so far.
Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. agreed last month to create an uncapped fund to pay for repairing roughly 4,500 properties, mostly in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. The deal also would create a separate fund capped at $30 million to pay for other types of losses, including those blaming drywall for health problems.
Fallon, who presides over more than 10,000 claims involving Chinese drywall, will hold a "fairness hearing" on the agreement in June before deciding whether to give his final approval.
Several companies had objected to the proposed settlement.
Centerline Homes Construction Inc., of Coral Springs, Fla., complained that the deal contains "too many contingencies, ambiguities and uncertainties ... to make a reasonably informed decision about their position." Lawyers for other homebuilders sued for allegedly using Chinese drywall argued that "inconsistencies and unanswered questions" could have been avoided if they had been involved in negotiating the agreement, Fallon noted.
Fallon also received an objection from Banner Supply Co., a Miami-based supplier of Chinese drywall that reached a $55 million settlement with plaintiffs in June 2011. Banner wanted to clarify that the settlement didn't resolve its own claims against Knauf.
Fallon, however, said none of the objections present obstacles to his preliminary approval.
"This conclusion is particularly true given that no (plaintiffs) have raised objections," he wrote.
The deal calls for Knauf to initially deposit $200 million in the repairs fund, which would be replenished as needed. A lead attorney for the plaintiffs has said the settlement is worth between $800 million and $1 billion, but a lawyer for the Chinese company disputed that estimate.
Steve Glickstein, a lawyer for Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin, said the company is pleased the judge granted preliminary approval, and is confident the settlement will receive final approval.
Around 55 percent of the people who would benefit from the settlement live in Florida, while roughly 35 percent live in Louisiana. The deal would resolve cases filed in both state and federal court.
Attorneys' fees and costs paid by Knauf are capped at $160 million and will not be deducted from homeowners' shares of the settlement money.
Chinese drywall was used in the construction of thousands of homes, mainly in the South, after a series of hurricanes in 2005 and before the housing bubble burst. The problems it has caused range from a foul odor to corrosion of pipes and wiring.

Interbol (Russian: Интербол) is an international space project under the leadership of the Russian Space Agency and the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The list of participants includes the Institute of Atmospheric Research of the Czech Academy of Sciences, NASA, European Space Agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency. The goal of the project is to study the correlations between plasma processes in the tail of the magnetosphere and in the Van Allen radiation belt (auroral particles acceleration region) with a high time-space resolution. Two space probes have been launched into high-altitude elliptical orbits:
- auroral probe was launched August 29, 1996 into orbit with an apogee of 20 000 km. The probe was sent to space in the same month as the FAST spacecraft, which studies aurora at both poles;[citation needed]
- tail probe was launched August 3, 1995 into orbit with an apogee of 200 000 km;[citation needed]
Both orbits are almost parallel to the ecliptic. Each probe consists of a pair satellite-subsatellite. Subsatellites "Magion-4" (auroral) and "Magion-5" (tail) were procured by the Institute of atmospheric Research of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The communication with "Magion-5" was interrupted August 30, 1996 and was restored May 7, 1998. The life expectancy of space vehicles is 12 years.[citation needed]

There was a happy ending.
The story was pretty interesting because in his profile he only wanted
friendship or pen pal, but the computer had sent me an email indicating he was a
match for me. I sent him an email introducing myself as a friend, since thats
what he was seeking and we stuck up a conversation. We spoke for three months
online and on the telephone until we finally agreed to meet out of curiosity.
When we met we both felt like we had know each other for years.
He turned out to be a real gentleman. We agreed to pursue a relationship in
spite of the miles that separate us. He fought that thought for a while, but
finally gave in. He lives in D.C. and I live in Boise, Idaho. Somehow we are
managing to bridge the gap until God comes up with a better plan.
I have to admit I was starting to lose faith in the site because there were
alot of men on this site that were married and posing as single and it was
getting very frustrating. But I am glad there was a happy ending.
Thanks for your interest.
P.S., His name is Kevin

Dan O'Bannon, "Alien" Screenwriter, RIP
Dan O'Bannon, the screenwriter behind the 1979 sci-fi horror movie "Alien," has died. O'Bannon passed away on Thursday, the Writers Guild of America confirmed on Friday. He was 63 years old.
"Alien," which starred Sigourney Weaver and was directed by Ridley Scott, took science fiction seriously. It was set in a future that didn't look overtly futuristic–the Nostromo, the spaceship at the center of the movie looked grimy and lived in, more like a flying oil rig than some Buck Rogers fantasy. The weary astronauts on board the vessel, driven by shadowy corporate and military interests, were more like punch-the-clock factory laborers than the hopeful, elite crew members of "Star Trek." O'Bannon had a vision of the future that looked like the present–the technology had improved, but human motivation, greed, and griminess had remained unchanged.
The extraterrestrial title character, designed by artist H. R. Giger, was something fresh–it was a beast undergoing contant metamorphosis–hugging a victim's face one moment, exploding out of a body cavity the next–keeping viewers anxious and wary, never knowing what sort of shock to expect next. While many movies today reveal their surprises on innumarable fan sites and talk shows well before release, the creature at the center of "Alien" was kept largely hidden from the general public until the movie's release. Years later, the Alien would make the cover of Time magazine.
More on O'Bannon, and trailers from "Alien," "Total Recall" and "Dark Star," after the jump.

From Staff Reports
June 18, 2013 at 5:50 a.m.
A White Oak man indicted on child pornography charges posted $25,000 bond eight hours after his arrest Monday.
A Gregg County grand jury indicted Tommy D. Simmons, 47, on May 30 on one count of using a file-sharing network to distribute pornographic images of a child younger than 18 years old engaging in "deviant sexual intercourse."
Simmons was indicted on a second count of possession of child pornography.
The indictments stem from an incident that occurred in December.

It was believed that Tim Tebow would have an 11-game audition to show whether or not he could be an NFL quarterback. It might not even last that long.

Printer Repair Questions? Ask IT Technicians for Answers ASAP
Hi. I am Rick. I will be your expert.
There should be no problem with this printer and windows 7. The only thing that may be causing your problem is the driver set up. I am assuming from your statement that you have used the disk to load and install the drivers. This may be the problem. Windows 7 already has the drivers it needs for that printer. Try uninstalling the drivers and the printer. Then reboot the computer and plug the printer in and let windows 7 find the drivers itself. See ifvthat helps.
Hello Rick
Thank you for that. I have followed your instructions but I am afraid that my printer still does not work. After starting the 'cleaned' system Windows found the printer and loaded drivers etc. When I tried to print a doc from Word I got the message 'Word cannot print - there is no printer installed'. The print screen in Word shows the printer is ready and the printer shows as the default printer when I look in' show devices and printers'.
I have just run the disc supplied with the printer again and get a message part way through which says 'the arguments are invalid'. I can click through that and the operation appears to finalise. However after restarting the computer and trying to print in Word I still get the 'there is no printer installed message'.
Have you any other ideas please?
Regards XXXXX
Lets try this. Go to the site below and selct your operating system. It should give you the latest drivers and software for your printer. Download and run them and then install the printer and see if that helps.
Thank you for that. I have gone through the process and at the end got a message reading ' The Brother printing device software has already been installed. There are no other items to install'
Needless to say I get the same error messgae as previously what I try to print from Word.
Rgeards Chris R
OK lets try approaching this from a different road. I want you to open a new word document. On the first line of the document type the following:
Let me know what you get
Yes, thank you. Tried that. I get the same message as before 'Word cannot print. There is no printer installed.
It seems to be just about everything.
I have tried Excel and a PDF document and those won't print either.
OK Rick
Thank you for that. I will try it tomorrow as it is getting late here and I need to be up for work in the morning.
Can you tel me where I might find the drivers to remove them please?
I have done all those things - deleted all the printer drivers and then installed them from the web site link.
Situation is exactly as it was - no change.
I was thinking of hooking up the Brother printer to another machine just across the office and seeing if it would work with that one.
Regards Chris Rose
Hello Richard
I haven't hooked it up to the other compurter yet but I have tried the fax and the scan options.
Fax works fine and the scan will send a message back to the computer so there appears to be no communication problems in that direction.
It is just the print facility that seems not to be working as it should.
Hopefully I will get time tomorrow to try the direct link and coneection to the other computer.
Hello Rick
I spoke to the supplier of the printer today and their immediate reaction was that it must be a faulty machine and they are happy to exchange it for another brand new one.
I am going to get that done on Thursday and will let you know what happens
Got the new printer but the situation is much the same, unbale to print as it keeps saying printer not installed.
I do now however get the following error message 'The install script engine on this machine is older than the version needed to run this setup. If available please install the latest version of ISScript.msi or contact your support personnel'
Any ideas on that one please?
THese are install script in Windows. The process for correcting this is very involved so rather than give you the step by step I will send you to a site that has the step by step instructions. Follow them carefully and it should fix it for you.
Thank you for that, it was very useful.
I have determined that I need version 12, obviously new info than the link. Any idea where I might find that, I have googled it with no real success.
Chris Rose
Thank you Rick
I will install version 11 and see if that works and will certainly ask Brother regarding version 12.
Chris R
Installed version 11, that didn't work either.
Am waiting for Brother to get back to me.

Never miss another 'The Blues Band' show
The Blues Band
Image © The Blues Band
The Blues Band
The Blues Band was formed in 1979 by Ex Manfred Mann members Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness. Slide guitar ace and vocalist Dave Kelly was then recruited, Gary Fletcher filled the bass post and Rob Townsend of Family fame replaced Hughie Flint in 1982 on the drums. They set out originally to play pub gigs of their beloved blues music. 17 or 18 albums later, they are still going strong. If you are expecting a set play list, there isn't one!
This is probably the most spontaneous live music gig you will see this year. Although there is a general order of who's singing lead, as he takes to the mic each group member calls out to the rest of the band whichever song springs to mind - keeping the guys on their toes and the audience in an eager state of anticipation!

At this point, you have a native boot VHD created from Part 1 and the OS image applied from Part 2. Next, you need to add the VHD to the boot menu so you can boot to it.
Add the VHD to the Boot Menu
1. Click Start >> All Programs >> Microsoft Windows AIK >> Deployment Tools Command Prompt, right-click and select Run as Administrator to launch a Command Prompt that has access to all the AIK tools with elevated privileges.
2. Type the following command to create a copy of the host OS boot entry for the VHD and give it a description that you'll recognize in the boot menu:
bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Win7 Boot to VHD"
The command will return a GUID that you'll use in the next few commands.
3. Use Edit >> Mark and Edit >> Copy to copy the GUID so it's easy to insert into the remaining commands.
In the example below, the GUID that represents the boot entry of the VHD is {16bde0ca-8d10-11de-8997-da4aa4476c8e}.
4. Type the following commands to add the device and osdevice boot entry options to point to the VHD and to direct the loader to detect the right HAL to load upon first boot:
bcdedit /set {16bde0ca-8d10-11de-8997
-da4aa4476c8e} device vhd=[c:]\boot2vhds\win7.vhd
bcdedit /set {16bde0ca-8d10-11de-8997
-da4aa4476c8e} osdevice vhd=[c:]\boot2vhds\win7.vhd
bcdedit /set {16bde0ca-8d10-11de-8997
-da4aa4476c8e} detecthal on
The results for this example look like the following:
5. Confirm your entry to the boot loader by typing the following command to list all the entries:
bcdedit /v
You can find the entry based on the GUID and description we used when creating the boot loader entries. The results in our example are below:
6. Copy the VHD file to another drive and add a readme.txt file that describes the build and the current state of the VHD so you always have a pristine VHD backed up. When you need to "roll back", just copy the file VHD and overwrite the old file.
7. Reboot your machine.
8. When prompted for what OS to boot to, select the VHD you created by identifying it by the description (in our case "Win7 Boot to VHD").
9. On first boot, you see messages as the OS is configured for the first time.
With native boot to VHD, you can create VHDs for different OS workloads (such as having a server to run Hyper-V on your computer) or to run pre-release bits without destabilizing your work environment.
For more, check out the following resources:
Hope it helps!

Overhaul Set for District Police
Monday, September 24, 2007
D.C. Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier is set to announce a wholesale reorganization of the department today, abandoning the structure established by her predecessor and mentor and reducing the number of African Americans in the agency's top brass.
To make the 3,900-member force more agile and increase police presence, Lanier is shrinking her senior staff, beefing up technology and putting patrol officers under one citywide command. It is the first major departmental overhaul in almost 10 years.
"I'm trying to improve efficiency and communications so we can do things faster and better," said Lanier, 40, who took over the department in January from Charles H. Ramsey.
The racial shift in some respects mirrors staff changes that Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) made when he replaced African Americans in several key Cabinet positions. The appointments angered some residents, who complained that Fenty's choices created a Cabinet that does not reflect the majority-black city it governs.
Four of eight assistant police chiefs were African American under Ramsey; two of six assistant chiefs will be black under Lanier, who is white.
"I didn't sit down and go, 'Who can I promote with what race and gender?' " Lanier said. "I looked at who has been working at the highest level and put them in key positions. Then I looked to see if everything is balanced, and I think it is."
The announcement of the changes, scheduled to take effect Sunday, comes a week after an off-duty officer fatally shot a 14-year-old in Southeast Washington, generating community outcry.
Residents across the District regularly complain that they do not see police officers on the streets, and violent crime is on the rise, with homicides up about 10 percent from this time last year.
City Administrator Dan Tangherlini said Lanier's goal is to prevent crime by implementing a plan that supports street officers and encourages them to get involved in communities.
"It's consistent with the administration overall, where we want a stronger relationship between leadership and the ground troops," Tangherlini said.
Fenty said that he signed off on the reorganization but that "the architecture belongs to the chief. . . . We encouraged the chief to set her own course."
Lanier is dismantling the structure Ramsey created in 1998, which carved the city into three regional operations command centers, or ROCS, each headed by an assistant chief.

Yes it does PISS me off, but I can not really do anything about it.
It pisses me off that someone can get a large tax payment, more than they even paid in taxes in the first place for things they "want", while we, as the people that make too much, still must pay for the rest of their needs.
It pisses me off that a person that doesn't work can have basically the same exact things that my husband and I work hard to have.
It pisses me off that people that receive assistance (other than those disabled) are not required to work full time and continue doing so for many, many years.
I am really not against those that need assistance, just those that are not trying to better their situation. It really upsets me to see when someone is a SAHM, there husband only works 20-30 hours a week, and they get everything paid for then get to take that same vacation my husband and I take on their tax money. I am not saying that people on assistance deserve zero fun but the MAJORITY of that money they get back should be used for things they need or saved for a time they will need something. Sorry for this rant.

I don't care what you pay or who you pay for--you don't pay for me or mine, and never have. Do your math again, I was making slightly above minimum wage at that time, 5.65, and they didn't have to pay me overtime because of a loophole. I was required by law to sleep at least two hours in between sixteen hour shifts, and they had employee cots set up exactly for that on premises. Unfortunately, when you sleep at a job, that gives them a certain right now to pay you overtime. Nobody there got overtime because they set up rooms with cots. To this day, the employees there don't get overtime for working like slaves, though I hear they do make upwards of 12 dollars an hour now. Again, do your math, 23,000 a year? After taxes, I was pulling in a little under 17,000 a year. If I'd had kids then, you bet your ass I would have been on every form of PA imaginable.
And if you have 2 kids now and earn under 45 K you are on pA.
Why DO people have kids whent hey can't afford them?
Quoting little.worthen:
wait, it's not even tax season yet! It's still Christmas season!! I thought I didnt have to listen to people bitching about taxes for another few weeks at LEAST!! grr..
we pay close to 400 dollars a week in federal taxes as well.
I don't get nearly as pissed off about it going to welfare as I do to pay life time health care for senators who retired 20 years ago and didn't do shit during their office.
I don't get nearly as pissed off about it going to welfare as I do it going to buying 33 dollars hammers because Jo Bob hammer company is cousins to the senators wife, and he got his bid chosen.
I dont get nearly as pissed off about it going to welfare as I do it going to the elected president of the US putting up 100 secret service members in foriegn countries so he can attend a social affair.
I think welfare needs a HUGE reform - NOW, but I think our entire govermental spending needs a reality check even more.

TBH, what pisses me off is seeing the wealthy bitch about paying higher taxes. Maybe not you OP, but look at all these ppl that have so much money they don't know what to do with it. Would it really hurt them to help out the lower class? Believe me, they're not giving anything up. They're still gonna go on their fancy vacations and buy the most expensive vehicles. While the majority of the county works their ass off just to get by.
Why do they have to pay for you? They are already taxed at 35%. They are already FUNDING the poor. Why should they be required to do more?
That means that 35% of their time is spent earning money to pay taxes....many of the very high wage earners wourk ridiculously long hours-60-90 hour work weeks. Tell me do you know what it is like to work a 70 hour work week?
Trust me, I know. I also know that you are not paying for me. We are not on any type of PA. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you start jumping down ppl's throats. My husband works at a state penitentiary, working around ppl all day that you lock your doors at night to keep out. We are considered middle class, half of his paycheck goes to TAXES and insurance every month. Do you know what it's like to work in an environment like that, well over 40hrs/week, and still be living paycheck to paycheck all because you pay so much to the government. When we get our taxes back, it's the one time of the year we have the opportunity to get things done to our house that we need, get ahead on a few bills, insurance for our vehicles. All that fun shit. So tell me how it will hurt the 1% to pay a higher tax rate? They're still going to be living their luxurious lifestyles w/o having to sacrifice a damn thing.
How do you get taxes back? I pay out $450 a week in FEDERAL taxes alone and never see a return. EVER. IF you qualify for EITC then that is the reason for your refund-if you do not-for God's sake change his witholding!
Preview of 2012 Tax Year
Earned Income and adjusted gross income (AGI) must each be less than:
- $45,060 ($50,270 married filing jointly) with three or more qualifying children
- $41,952 ($47,162 married filing jointly) with two qualifying children
- $36,920 ($42,130 married filing jointly) with one qualifying child
- $13,980 ($19,190 married filing jointly) with no qualifying children
Tax Year 2012 maximum credit:
- $5,891 with three or more qualifying children
- $5,236 with two qualifying children
- $3,169 with one qualifying child
- $475 with no qualifying children
Investment income must be $3,200 or less for the year.
Let's just say you must make WAY more than we do. For your taxes to be that high you'd have to be grossing about $5,000 per week. That's double what we make in a month. I don't feel sorry for you.
I pay out about 22K a year in taxes-and gross no where near 250K a year. Look AMT and how that works.
How do you figure that i would need to make 250,000 a year? Because that would be less than 10% tax bracket!
Here are the actual tax brackets- a person making $5000 a week would lose $1650 of it to income tax. And of course exemptions and the AMT figure in as well.
Tax Bracket Married Filing Jointly Single 10% Bracket $0 – $17,400 $0 – $8,700 15% Bracket $17,400 – $70,700 $8,700 – $35,350 25% Bracket $70,700 – $142,700 $35,350 – $85,650 28% Bracket $142,700 – $217,450 $85,650 – $178,650 33% Bracket $217,450 – $388,350 $178,650 – $388,350 35% Bracket Over $388,350 Over $388,350
And here are a few related points:
- The personal and dependency exemption will rise to $3,800
- The standard deduction for married filing jointly will rise to $11,900
- The standard deduction for singles will rise to $5,950
I will be lucky to get any cash back and may even end up paying out a couple hundred (not to bad) and I'm not pissed about the people who get money back. I just don't understand being pissed at them , I have been broke working several jobs at a time and gotten back decent money and sure sometimes some of it went to something we didn't "need" like a new TV but most went to bills and savings. I would rather get back nothing then struggle like I did then. - edit to add : we don't live a luxury life style.
Quoting SRUsarahSC:
it's not so much the cost of the phone but the cost of the data package. If you can't afford to buy food, why do you have a phone that is going to cost at least $75 a month to maintain? You need the phone to talk, not to surf the internet!
Quoting madysonalliah:
You can get a free iPhone with a 2 year contract. I get that its up setting about the welfare and foodstamps but you don't know the whole situation. People are so quick to judge. And before it gets asked no I do not get foodstamps or am i on welfare but yes i do have an iPhone
Quoting SRUsarahSC:
I could have screamed today, was at a Christmas parade and the woman next to me was screaming into her i-phone about her welfare and FS....if you're on welfare and FS, WHY DO YOU HAVE AN I-PHONE????
I'm curious- What, exactly, do you know about the history of public assistance? Your rant makes it seem as though you think that people on PA are taking from you personally. Even if we did away with FS, Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, it wouldn't make much of a difference in your pay check and it wouldn't make a dent in our current federal budget deficit.
You might not need PA programs but there are many, many people who do need them. Where would they be without PA? Homeless, unable to feed their children or themselves, and they certainly would be much further off from being able to "better their situation". Are you contantly, everyday, trying to better your own situation? Do you have credit card bills, loans, or other types of non-necessary, recurring, financial obligations? If so, what the hell are you doing taking vacations?? All your money should be going to paying off your creditors and saving for emergencies! Yeah, sounds ridiculous right? Don't expect things from other people that you don't expect from yourself first.
Quoting FooLynRoo:
i read in one of these forums last night about a youngish lady with a family so proud that she lives off 900 dollars a month etc etc on NO assitance.
Comes to learn their 3 bedroom 1.5 bath house they live in - is FREE courtesy of her parents.
I mean, pat yourself on the back and all that - but seriously. LOL you live rent free... you SHOULD be making it work on 900 a month .
ha ha ha hah
What is selling the phone going to do? They are still under a contract. I have a 2yr contract w/Verizon, selling my phone won't do anything. I'm then paying for a contract but can't use a phone bc I sold it. How does that make sense?
Also, many do not have a landline. The cell phone is their main phone, kind of need that for people to call you back for job interviews ya know.
Makes no sense to sell a car if you are still going to be left w/say $5000 to pay on it. Still have to pay that. Turning it into the bank doesn't get you off scott free. You will still owe money.
I'm sorry so many feel they shouldn't help anyone out, that is a problem in this country.
On one hand you have people who expect others to support them, on the other hand you have people who only give a shit about themselves. Pretty sad for our country as far as I'm concerned.
Quoting momdoes:
Very true, but at the same time.......... If you had it and fell on hard times, get rid of it, sell it whatever.
When I got divorced, my ex and I werent rich, nor poor and when he walked out, so did half the income in that house I got to stay in. The car we had? Went bye bye. I could not afford to pay the note on it by myself so I took the credit puch and gave it back to dealer. The phones we had just got? yup, gave them back too. I didnt sell the stuff we had but gace it up. Cleared and got rid of a bill I could not afford at that time. Same thing now. My dh and I. I am in school full time, not working. We have a car still making payments on. There have been a few months I comtiplated driving that car to the dealer and handing them the keys! All because my mortgage comes first. (we manage to somehow get it paid tho but if we get to a point before graduation we cant, I have no issue giving it up)
Also, when I graduate, I will be making a six figure salary as well as my dh does now. I have paid my dues, sacrificed, suffered, etc. So has dh. The only people I feel we should "help" out after all we have done to get us where we are......is our kids. And even then it will be limited because they should be working hard too.
Thats the thing, we want to teach our kids to work hard, dont take the easy route, and it will pay off in the end. Why ask and demand that of our children and not of society itself?Quoting CABZS:
Just throwing this out there, could have had it before falling on hard times.
Nice car, had it before hard times. Sometimes they still owe to much to sell it
You never know.
Anyway, OP for the most part I agree w/you. I can't stand that people abuse the system & that so many in this country expect things to be given to them anymore.Quoting SRUsarahSC:
I could have screamed today, was at a Christmas parade and the woman next to me was screaming into her i-phone about her welfare and FS....if you're on welfare and FS, WHY DO YOU HAVE AN I-PHONE????

knife question
So where I go to school I can carry my pistol in my vehicle and leave it in the parking lot but can NOT take it out of my vehicle. So I want a knife...but it still has to fall with in the letter of the law
4. I recently purchased a double-edged survival knife. Does Michigan law allow me to carry this in my vehicle?
MCL 750.227 No. A dagger, dirk, stiletto, or double-edged non-folding stabbing instrument of any length, or any other dangerous weapon, except a hunting knife adapted and carried as such, cannot be carried concealed on or about a person, or whether concealed or otherwise in any vehicle operated or occupied by the person, except in their own home, place of business or on other land possessed by the person.
5. Is it illegal to have a knife with a blade over 3 inches in my possession?
MCL 750.226 No. Michigan law specifies that a person, with intent to use the knife unlawfully against another, shall not go armed with a knife having a blade over 3 inches in length.
so i need a 3in blade I suppose, folding not fixed since I obviously won't be hunting, I will be in class. I go to class late at night, and in the *city* and am quite done feeling like I have nothing for safety besides running to my minivan LOL
sooo what do I get?
Lots of options in the folding 3 inch blade category. This thread should blow wide open with all sorts of information.
Okay, you live in Michigan somewhere, right? So most of the time you will be dealing with heavy winter clothes.
Things like Carhartt and other heavy flannel clothing are pretty resisant to basic cutting. They are that way by design, so I would recommend AGAINST a blade that does not have at least a half serrated edge in a knife that is as small as a 3" blade.
The reason is, a serrated blade will slash and tear, where a fine blade that is razor sharp will slice, but it may not slice deep enough.
The down side is that a serrated blade might catch on something and be ripped from your hand. :eek:
It's a personal decision, but I would think a partially serrated blade would give you a better chance of getting through those outer layers.
Now, I am NO knife expert. I am basing this on what I have seen in knife videos and what I have experienced with tears and slices on my own Carhartt stuff through the years while working.
I never had a straight knife go all the way through my Carhartts, but I did have a couple of ragged tears that would be the equivilent of a serrated blade.
As for good, really good companies to search through:
SOG knives. They are local to me and a great company with really great, not expensive knives.
SpyderCo. Another PNW company. Their serrated blades, I believe, are patented and they are really well done. They even have knives in pink. :D
Cold Steel. Hands down, this company tortures their knives harder than anyone else in the business. I have, about, 10 of their knives and machettes and they are all hard core, high quality knives. Their handles such. They really need some help in that department, but their knives are affordable and they make really, REALLY great blades with a lifetime warranty.
Of course, you can spend A LOT more on semi custom or full blown custom knives, but I seem to remember you are on a budget and any of those three companies will treat you right.
Good luck and let us know what you pick.
Jess, there are LOTS of good options in the 3" size category. How much are you looking to spend?
Spyderco, Cold Steel, Kershaw and Benchmade are some of the brands you might want to look at. They make excellent folders and have several models that would fit your requirements.
I'd suggest a Benchmade Mini-Griptilian (with a pink handle, of course!). The blade is 2.91", the handle is quite comfortable and it uses their patented AXIS lock which is both strong and smooth. They are made from 154CM steel, which is excellent, and come with a variety of blade designs to choose from. And, best of all, can be had for under $60.
Here's one of them: Benchmade Mini Griptilian, MDP, Plain edge, Pink Handle
Francisco, you need to change your "Supporting Member" tag to "FTF Blade Expert"
Another wise and informational post concerning the subject. Thank you sir!!
You could always get 16" police baton it folds up to around 6 or 7 in. and there is no law stating you can't carry it, but I still wouldn't tell anyone because you know how the ANTI'S are these days EVERYTHING IS CONSIDERED A WEAPON.Seems like they'd rather see every body dead than protecting themselves, and if you don't tell anyone and you carry it in tour book bag nobody'll ever know then just put in your coat sleeve when you're ready to leave, hope this helps.
I like the Buck Bones 870XC. Partially serrated, it has a modified tanto point for more powerful cutting when a slashing move is made. 3" blade with a thumb stud allowing the blade to be opened with one hand.
From http://www.northamericanknives.com/page/981121 listing various knife steel hardness, edge carrying capability and application.
420HC knife steel: 420HC steel is a higher carbon version of the 420 steel. 420HC steel has .4 to .5% carbon and about 13% chromium. This is a lesser quality steel but when it is properly treated like Buck Knives does it produces a good general purpose knife steel with good corrosion resistance and edge holding ability.
I love my Kershaw's They are wicked sharp too......
1 Attachment(s)
If I had to go with pure wicked sharp, I never believed serrated was sharp enough till the Spyderco Harpy. Literally shaving sharp, one hand opening, and just right for grabbing those hard to reach cables that keep the blood pumping.
Yeah. Spyderco is one company that does serrated RIGHT. Those blades are sharp enough to snag bone and make an incision....:eek:
oooh there are TONS of good choices. and pink is fantastic...then the menfolk can't claim it as theirs!!

Book Review: Business Sutra
Business Sutra is a unique book. A book like this has never been written – combining Indic thought and marrying them to the business thought processes and providing a 'Indic' insight into business and management.
Firstly, the book throws a bunch of new concepts at the reader. But that is not the problem with the book, it is our problem. It just reinforces the fact that our education system has de-racinated us so much that those concepts which should have ideally been our 'foundation' are the very concepts we find alien today.
This is sad at many levels.
Having said that, it is a great sign that books like these are being published – in the so called mainstream. The first few pages of the book talks about the differences between Indic religions and monotheistic religions and how that has invariably resulted in a different thought process over millennia.
The second aspect is that the words that we use today to indicate 'Indic' thought processes – like mythology are like teeth after a root canal procedure. The words are just a construct that remain after the roots have been plucked. Devdutt stays out of this trap by using Sanskrit words – like Yajaman, Devata, Darshan, and Drishti.
In a way,he reiterates what Rajiv Malhotra said in 'Being Different' about how these concepts have been twisted by virtue of the fact that the West which was interpreting India needed to fit them into their world.
In that sense, Business Sutra takes a look at business (Western business) from an Indian perspective and reverses the 'gaze' and tries to come up with 'Indic management principles'.
It's a very readable book (though it is not a book to skim through, it is a book that is worth pondering at many levels) and I will highlight what I liked about the book – rather than go into specifics of all the parts covered in the book. And as he says, it is his interpretation – we may as well as have another interpretation – in line with Indic thought processes.
I clearly loved the first section of the book about 35 odd pages. I also loved the analogy of Drishti, Divya Drishti and Darshan – about objective truth, subjective truth and subject in that order – which he repeats at length later.
There is much about personal growth – Nara as opposed to Narayan – which really should be the mantra of everybody in a job or in a business – which in any case underlies the central thematic of Indic religions.
And as seen in his columns, he uses the gods as a metaphor for conveying practically everything in an organization – about organizations have to be churned in order to realize their 'goals'. I especially loved the parts on creativity, ambition, Head office and Branch office, closures, leadership and a lot of other very resonating examples.
He compares aarti of a god to the praise showered on employees – which empowers them. And the facts that while we, employees, need organizations, organizations do not need us – and that takes it to the point that self development and actualization is the only thing that matters for us as human growth or as businesses.
All in all quite an inviting read.
How much it will be accepted in these days and with most business leaders having come from a similar de-racinated background is another question.
But for the student of business, the practitioner of management, the founder of the start up, the neophyte into Indic culture, this book is a must read.
To open the minds into that little bit of introspection to see what Devdutt writes and think why not interpret it this way?
And at the very end, he has a great page on 'how to reject this book' for the detractors.

About twice a year we whine about not having a boat. Or, more accurately, we whine about nobody giving us a boat. And a slip to keep it in, because do we look like the kind of guy who wants to keep a boat in his driveway and have to hitch it to his rig and drive it to a boat launch every time we get a hankering for a cruise? Because that�s not the look we�re going for.
We typically get a few notes following our whinings from people inviting us to go out on their boat with them, and even some people who say we can use their boat anytime we want, we just have to call first. Generous offers, but all wide of the mark. We don�t want to go on a boat with you and we don�t want to call you up, hat in hand, asking to use your boat. What we want is your actual boat.
So far, the best we�ve done is to get in marina magnate Bob Senske�s will. Senske says he�s bequeathed his Boston Whaler, pretty much exactly what we want, to us in his will. We have zero reason to believe he�s telling the truth, but hope is what keeps us alive.
All of this is to say we won�t be at the Naples Holiday Boat Parade when it fires up at 6 p.m. Saturday, because we won�t watch from shore like a hobo, and we don�t ride in other peoples� boats. Maybe next year, if we keep up our routine of calling Senske and telling him his next doctor�s appointment has been canceled.
After, or in our case, instead of, the Naples Holiday Boat Parade, we can�t come up with a better thing to do than swing by The Prospector at 9 Saturday night. The relish platter alone would get us there, but on Saturday night you get a renegade band of some of the finest musicians from a gaggle of local rock bands including the Humpers, Cowboy & Indian, Jail Weddings and the Commotions in the 27th Album Attack show. This time, the gagglers are assaulting, track-by-track, the Pretenders� self-titled debut album, which means you�re gonna get stuff like �Private Life,� �Brass in Pocket� and Ray Davies� �Stop Your Sobbing.�
That, plus the relish platter, would totally be enough, but if you order now, you also get an opening blast of Christmas rockers and traditional carols by the eternally popular Greater California Christmas Choir, with members of the band Greater California and lots of guests.
FRIDAY PLAYLIST: We held off on the whole Christmas/holiday-music thang until we just can�t hold off any longer. We�re fairly exploding with pent-up carols, especially those with your rock and indie-rock bent, because we just can�t listen to Vince Guaraldi or der Bingle anymore. Or country sangers.

Buganda Road Court has denied bail to a nurse who injected a baby with HIV-infected blood.
Buganda Road Court Chief Magistrate Olive Kazarwe denied Rosemary Namubiru bail on grounds that her case of attempted murder was grave.
Namubiru applied for bail citing her HIV positive status and advanced age which magistrate Kazarwe denied saying that prisons have got health services which will cater for her.
Kazarwe added that Namubiru's advanced age should not be the main issue in the case.
She has been sent back to Luziira prison until March 7.
The baby is currently on preventive treatment. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Post-exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is short-term antiretroviral treatment to reduce the likelihood of HIV infection after potential exposure, either occupationally or through sexual intercourse.
Buganda Road Court in Kampala charged the 65-year old nurse, Rosemary Namubiru with attempted murder.
According to the Police, Namubiru was arrested at Victoria Medical Centre on Lumumba road in Nakasero, Kampala where she worked.
The parents of the victim had taken the baby to the health facility for treatment when the incident occurred.
Police revealed that Namubiru was arrested following complaints by the baby's parents, who claim to have seen her inject their baby using an unsterilized syringe that she had also used on herself.

STANFORD, Calif. -- The Saint Mary's women's tennis team has racked up its share of impressive accomplishments over the last few years.
Saturday's win at Stanford might just stand at the head of the class.
Ranked No. 47 in the country, the Gaels banded together to watch Catherine Leduc's three-set thriller clinch a historic 4-3 victory over the No. 7-ranked Cardinal at Taube Family Tennis Center.
It is the first ever victory over a top-10 team for Saint Mary's, which improved to 5-3 on the season. It is just the third home loss for Stanford (3-1) since 1999. The Cardinal owned a NCAA record 184-match home winning streak from 1999-2011.
"It is obviously a huge win for us after a slow start to the year," Saint Mary's coach Lisa Alipaz said. "I have enormous respect for (Stanford head coach) Lele Forood, Frankie (Brennan) and their whole team. She is a legend and they have a talented, classy team."
The Gaels got started with doubles. Elizabeth Searl and Catherine Isip got the party started with a 8-6 win over Kristie Ahn and Amelia Herring at No. 2. Shortly thereafter, SMC earned the point when No. 1 team Jenny Jullien and Danielle Flores beat Stacey Tan and Ellen Tsay 8-5.
That advantage proved huge once singles began. Wins at No. 4 and 2 singles gave the advantage back to Stanford, with the Cardinal leading 2-1.
Jullien was there to even the score, and in the process, she continued the massive roll she has been on this spring. Ranked No. 24 in the country, Jullien earned a 7-5, 6-1 win over No. 10 Krista Hardebeck at No. 1 to square the match at 2.
The win is Jullien's fifth over a ranked opponent this spring, and fourth over a top-30 competitor.
Stanford pulled back in front with a win at No. 6 singles, but that lead didn't last long.
The Gaels earned their third point of the day courtesy of sophomore Danielle Flores. Picking up perhaps her biggest victory of the season to date, Flores battled for a 6-4, 0-6, 6-2 win over No. 33-ranked Ellen Tsay."We got great performances from Jenny and Dani in both singles and doubles," Alipaz said. "Their win at No. 1 doubles really set the tone for the day and gave us belief."
That left just No. 5 singles to decide the match, and pitted SMC's Leduc against Stanford's Natalie Dillon.
Dillon took the first set 6-4, but Leduc fought back to win the second set 7-6 in a tiebreaker. That fight carried over into the third, and with the support of her Gaels teammates, Leduc won the set 6-3 to finish off a tremendous day for the Gaels.
"Catherine's come from behind victory was so fun to watch," Alipaz said. "After a slow start, she clawed her way back into it and really executed her game plan superbly in the final set."
The win was Saint Mary's fourth in a row, and should provide huge momentum as the Gaels prepare to host No. 3 UCLA on Feb. 23. That match is set to begin at noon.

Really? Seriously? Yeah, apparently it is, showing up in the most top 10 viewing charts from 20 select countries. People around the world love them some Jerry Bruckheimer programming, as CSI the original came in at 6th and Without a Trace came in at seven. The producer of such hits as Kangaroo Jack, Bad Boys and Bad Boys 2, The Rock, Con Air, Beverly Hills Cop, and about a million other films, he's now conquered television. The guy obviously knows what the United States, and the world, wants for their viewing pleasure.
Is this really what people love, though? Action movies and procedural shows? Movies which have easy good vs. bad action movies with easily digestable plots and television procedurals which have no character development or story arcs over one or two episodes???
Luckily, there is a bright spot. Lost was the second most popular show in the world, which hopefully shows that people are trending towards programming which makes one think and also makes people stay tuned and pay attention.
