Donald Sterling due on stand Tuesday as battle over Clippers drags on
For six hours Monday, the beginning of a trial that could determine the fate of a $2 billion offer for the Los Angeles Clippers hung in limbo while attorneys for embattled team owner Donald Sterling sought to move the case to federal court — then it began, and in rather dramatic fashion.
After Sterling's effort to shift the case to a different court was turned aside, Los Angeles probate judge Michael Levanas finally turned to attorneys for the owners' estranged wife, who negotiated the proposed sale, and told them to begin their case.
Attorney Pierce O'Donnell stood in the packed, muggy, windowless courtroom. It was just after 3 p.m. local time.
"We call Donald Sterling," he said, turning and scanning the gallery packed with reporters, attorneys and court-watchers who came to see the spectacle as Donald Sterling fights to hang onto the team the couple has owned since 1981, and Shelly Sterling tries to complete the sale to former Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer.
But Donald Sterling — the man whose racially charged comments sparked controversy that threw his ownership into peril — was not there. One of his attorneys said later that he didn't expect the question of whether the federal court would take the case to be resolved so quickly, and as a result, Sterling had been told not to come to court Monday.
There was talk of how to proceed — and even a question about whether an arrest warrant should be issued for the 80-year-old businessman who may be suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
In the end, the trial got underway, with attorneys for the combatants drawing contrasting images of their opponents' motivations.
At issue is whether Shelly Sterling complied with the requirements of the family trust that controls the team when she removed her husband from a decision-making position and negotiated the sale of the team — and whether the judge has the legal authority to bless the deal. That second question is far from certain. On June 9, Donald Sterling signed documents revoking the trust, which effectively dissolved it, and his attorneys have said that court no longer has any jurisdiction over the team.
Hanging over the trial — which is being heard by a judge but not a jury — is a July 15 deadline for the sale of the team to Ballmer to be consummated.
Shelly Sterling's lawyers contend that she was genuinely worried about her estranged husband's mental state after the controversy surrounding his remarks to an alleged mistress that she should stop bringing African Americans to Clippers games, and after a follow-up television interview in which he appeared disheveled and confused. At that point, Shelly suggested that Donald see a doctor, and he underwent brain scans and was evaluated by two physicians, both of whom concluded that he had dementia.
At that point, Shelly invoked a provision in the rules governing the Sterling Family Trust that allowed her to remove Donald as a trustee because two doctors had concluded that he was mentally incapacitated. Her attorneys have asserted that all of her actions, including sharing his medical records with doctors, were allowed under the provisions of the trust.
Donald Sterling's lawyers contend that his estranged wife tricked him into seeing the doctors, telling him that she was concerned about his health when in fact she was carrying out a "secret Plan B" to wrest away control of the team so she could sell it. They have asserted that when the two doctors released medical records to Shelly Sterling, they violated both state and federal privacy laws.
In his opening statement, O'Donnell said that Shelly Sterling satisfied all the requirements of the trust — that she had her husband examined by two doctors, that they are licensed, that they regularly evaluate the mental capacity of others, that they are not related to him by blood or marriage, and that they certified in writing that he was unable to manage his own affairs.
"We have satisfied all five of those requirements," O'Donnell said.
Gary Ruttenberg, one of Donald Sterling's lawyers, painted a much more sinister picture.
- Judge OKs $2B sale of Clippers despite objections
- Shelly Sterling takes stand, defends actions
- Sterling calls wife 'pig', says he'll never sell Clips
- Donald Sterling comical, confusing on stand
- Sterling lawyers force delay of trial
- Sterling vs. Sterling: Clips hang in balance
- 5 things to know about Sterling's legal claims
- Poll: Sterling most hated man in America
"This case reads like a Hollywood soap opera," he said. "I call it the 'Tale of the Two Sterlings.' There was a Plan A, and a secret Plan B."
Plan A was to get Donald Sterling to agree to the sale. After he refused, Ruttenberg said Shelly Sterling and her lawyers went behind his back to remove him from decision-making power in the trust if he did not.
The Sterlings bought the Clippers 33 years ago for $12.5 million. The team, which was not competitive for much of the Sterlings' ownership, has surged in recent years with stars like Blake Griffin and Chris Paul, making the playoffs the past three seasons after accomplishing that feat only four times in the previous 30 years.
Then came the April disclosure of the tape of Sterling talking to a female friend, V. Stiviano, and expressing dismay that she had posted a photo on a social media website that showed her with NBA legend Magic Johnson.
In one exchange on the recording, which was made last September, Sterling told Stiviano to say away from Clippers games — "don't bring black people, and don't come."
Those remarks, first reported by the website TMZ, ignited a firestorm that led NBA commissioner Adam Silver to ban Sterling from the league for life, fine him $2.5 million and launch the process of wresting control of the team from him and forcing its sale.
The team's coach, Doc Rivers, publicly questioned whether he would stay on the job if Sterling continued to own the Clippers. In the meantime, Shelly Sterling stepped in and negotiated the sale to Ballmer, averting — for now, at least — an effort by Silver to have the other NBA owners force out Donald Sterling.
Ballmer's purchase agreement requires either that Donald Sterling consent to the sale or that Shelly Sterling obtain "a final and non-appealable order" from a judge giving her the sole authority to close the deal.
Monday's only witness was one of the doctors who concluded that Donald Sterling is suffering from dementia.
Dr. Meril Platzer, a highly respected neurologist, talked about her examination of Sterling — testimony that came over the repeated objections of Sterling's legal team. Platzer described going to Sterling's home and spending roughly two hours with him and his wife after two different scans of his brain. She said she has made other house calls for high-profile and disabled patients. And she described what happened at the end of the exam.
"I told both him and Mrs. Sterling that … he has Alzheimer's," Platzer said.
"What did he say?" O'Donnell asked.
"I'm hungry, I want to eat," Platzer replied.
Court adjourned after O'Donnell wrapped up his questions. That means Tuesday is likely to begin with a fierce line of questioning for Platzer from Donald Sterling's attorneys — including the assertion that her medical opinion was compromised by the fact she went out for dinner and a drink with Shelly Sterling after the examination and was later joined by Donald and others at a Beverly Hills restaurant.
Also on tap Tuesday is an expected appearance by Donald Sterling, who is likely to testify.
After the trial ended for the day late Monday afternoon, attorneys on both sides dug in for battle.
Shelly Sterling's lawyers professed their eagerness to question Donald Sterling under oath.
"We are very anxious to get Mr. Sterling here to face the music," said Bertram Fields, one of Shelly Sterling's attorneys. "I mean, he's the guy that keeps delaying, keeps doing anything he can to keep his family from getting the $2 billion they're entitled to.
"Why? Just because of his ego."
Bobby Samini, one of Donald Sterling's lawyers, portrayed him as a man who has been wronged.
"What always rings out for me is that Donald is being treated differently," Samini said. "He's being treated differently than the people who run the NBA. He's being treated differently than the other NBA owners.
"This is not the way we do things in our country."

Houston (CBS HOUSTON) – The NFL told reporters on Tuesday that they plan on opening the roof for Super Bowl LI at NRG Stadium on February 5th.
The decision will be made according to weather that day and will be made right before kickoff. It takes 10 minutes for the roof at NRG to open completely.
The Houston Texans did not play with the roof open all of the 2016 season. It is a rarity for the roof to open at NRG for a Texans game. The typical rules are that the temperature is below 78 degrees and above 65 degrees and no chance for rain.
We are too far out from Super Bowl Sunday to know what the weather is supposed to be for kickoff, but the NFL wants the roof open at NRG Stadium.

text: I started smoking a few years ago with a cheap Char Grill offset but it was difficult to maintain temps whenever it got below 70 or there was a steady breeze. I thought about building from scratch but instead decided to modify a Dyna Glo upright offset. The plan was to weld 1"x1" steel tubing to the frame then insulate. Here is the stock photo... Here we have it with most of the tubing welded to the Dyna... Nothing to complicated at this point. We had to change the cook chamber handle a bit and the grab handle on the firebox but in all it was pretty easy fixes. Here is a shot of the insulation. I found it online from Buy Insulation Products . com. I was able to get 50 sqr feet of 24" x 1/2". Surface area was under 23 sqr feet so we just doubled up the insulation... As you can see in the back, we cut a new hole for the chimney as the stock setup was basically a hole in the top with a little chimney and an adjustable baffle. I prefer the whole chamber filled with smoke so it made sense to relocate the opening to the base of the cooking chamber. To make clean up a little easier we added a ball valve to the floor... Here we are with most of the sheet metal on... To help the heat flow more efficiently into the cooking chamber we tack welded a small sheet into the top right corner of the firebox. Not sure how much it will help but I just envisioned a big heat buildup in that corner so we went with this idea... And here we have the final product... First of all, yes the chimney is yellow. I am a displaced Pittsburgh'r so I bleed black and gold. I'm thinking of naming her "The Terrible Smoker". Speaking of the chimney we went down to our local Meineke and bought a piece of 3" pipe with a 90 degree bend. For the baffle we took the guts from the existing baffle, took the square butterfly off and replaced it with a 3" round piece and we were in business. As for the insulation it has 1" all around except for the bottom which only has 1/2". The doors are a little different in that they were concave to begin with so we placed the insulation on the inside and then covered it with sheet metal. As you can see in the early pictures we also left a gap around the air intake to allow it to work without modifications. Finally we added the wheels to make it more maneuverable. Lessons learned: I was hesitant to build from scratch for fear that the firebox would be too big or too small or my airflow would not be just right so I figured if we went with a known product all those worries will go away. Admittedly the Dyna is a cheapo smoker but most complaints revolve around cheap thin steel. What I would do differently though is try to cut weight. This thing is a beast! If you try this on your own, get the thinnest square tubing you can. I think our supplier must have had this lying around because it was way to thick for what we needed. As for the sheet metal initially we were going to go with sheet steel but even the 14 gauge we looked at was very heavy. In the end we went to our local parts shop and bought sheet metal used for patching up auto body work. The other thing I think about before undertaking this task is to know your welding skills. The metal on the Dyna is thin and your sheet metal is thin so it's very easy burn a hole right through. Cost: Dyna Glo $163 @ Amazon Square tubing $100 Sheet metal $50 Insulation $97 Chimney $25 Paint $15 The rest such as rivets, bolts, ball valve were just lying around but I think you could do this whole project for around $500. Testing: So far I fired the smoker up twice. What I'm noticing is that I need less than half the charcoal I needed in my old smoker. To be honest my problem has been more about keeping the temperature down than anything else. At around 250 the cooking chamber is warm to the touch but you can hold your hand on it as long as you want. The firebox is hotter but you can still touch for a second or so with getting burned. With the toast test it is obviously hotter right about the vent with the firebox. To combat this I built a heat shield that seems to break up some of the heat and push it to the other side. Otherwise it is pretty even top to bottom and side to side. I did notice that I have some significant gaps in the doors. I ordered gaskets today so I believe that will solve that problem. If anyone has any questions or suggestions I'm here to help. Finally, I couldn't have done this without dear old dad. He provided the welding skills and a good bit of the materials. Thanks Dad!

Nothing says summer quite like the sun, the beach and of course, a BBQ. But before you fill up that gas tank and fire up the grill, it's important to remember this:
While BBQ meats can create a delicious summer meal, high temperature grilling can quickly make that perfect meal carcinogenic. Wait, what? Yes. Read on.
How to keep this BBQ season healthy instead of carcinogenic:
What happens when you BBQ foods?
There are two types of chemical reactions that occur when you BBQ foods.
First, fat drippings from meat create smoke that is full of chemicals called PAH's (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).
When the smoke surrounds the meat during the cooking process, it transfers these carcinogenic PAH's onto the meat itself.
Second, when you grill meat at high temperatures (about 300˚ F or above) and/or for long periods of time, a reaction in the food occurs, creating HCA's (heterocyclic amines).
Most HCA's are found in meat that has been fried or grilled (both high temperature cooking methods).
Lower temperature cooking methods like boiling, baking or poaching tend to produce the least amount of HCA's.
It's also important to remember that both charcoal and gas grilling expose foods to high temperatures.
However, with gas grills you have the option of controlling the flame, and therefore the temperature.
Why should you care?
While researchers still aren't 100 percent sure how much char is too much for human consumption, what we do know is that PAH's and HCA's cause cancer in animals.
The research in humans is not as abundant but preliminary research has shown a high correlation between colon, pancreatic and prostate cancer and HCA exposure.
Bottom Line: you want to try and limit your exposure to them as much as possible.
What can you do to reduce the carcinogens in your food?
Don't ditch the BBQ this summer, just use these simple tips to make your cookout less carcinogenic:
- Grill, Don't Burn – Remember to cook meat until it is brown, not black. Aim for cooking meat until it is medium rather than well done.
- Go Lean – Lean meats are not only better for heart health, but can also help stop the formation of PAH's. Since fat drippings are key to PAH development, less fat means fewer carcinogens. Your heart (and waist line) will thank you, too!
- Put Time into Prep – Marinating meat before cooking helps lessen HCA formation due to the antioxidants found in herbs and spices such as turmeric, basil, rosemary and oregano. Also, try cutting meat into small pieces as they will cook faster and spend less time on the grill, reducing the likelihood of carcinogen formation. Yep, kebabs, baby, kebabs.
- Trim the Burn – HCA's are only found in burned or charred parts so remove any burnt parts before serving.
- Load up on Veggies – As the buildup of carcinogens is associated with grilling protein rich foods like chicken and steak, vegetables do not create these carcinogens when burned. So load up the veggies on the grill! Try grilling corn, asparagus or carrots…and don't forget grilled fruit for dessert!

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to the field of data processing systems, and particularly to a method and apparatus for controlling access requests in a register address space.
2. Background Art
Most present day personal and workstation computers are organized as shown in FIG. 1. A central processing unit (CPU) 10 is coupled to a local CPU bus 12 as is the main memory 14. A cache memory 16 may also be coupled to bus 12. Communication with peripheral devices 22 is accomplished over an expansion bus 20 coupled to input/output (I/O) port 18. A number of expansion bus standards have been developed. One such standard is the industry standard architecture (ISA) bus that is widely used in personal computer systems. More recently, the extended ISA (EISA) bus has been developed. This is a superset of the ISA bus that includes all ISA bus features, together with extensions to enhance system performance and capabilities. Both the ISA bus and EISA bus have relatively narrow bandwidths in comparison to the bandwidth available on local busses for state-of-the-art high performance CPUs. This results in I/O bottlenecks and limits the ability of the system to service high performance peripherals such as local area network (LAN), Small Computer Serial Interface (SCSI), graphics and video.
In order to deal with the inherent limitations of earlier generation expansion bus standards, a new bus standard designated the "Peripheral Component Interconnect" (PCI) bus has been developed. PCI is a fast local bus particularly adapted for servicing high performance peripheral units. A typical system employing a PCI bus is illustrated in FIG. 2. Here, CPU 10 is coupled to CPU bus 12 as in the previously described system. A PCI/host bridge unit 30 is coupled to CPU bus 12 to provide the interface with PCI bus 32. PCI/host bridge unit 30 preferably also includes the management functions for the main memory 14 and cache memory 16. PCI compatible peripheral units 34 are connected to the PCI bus.
In order to maintain system compatibility with peripheral units designed to operate with earlier generation ISA/EISA expansion busses, a PCI/expansion bus bridge unit 40 is coupled between the PCI bus and the ISA or EISA expansion bus 20. A system such as shown in FIG. 2 is thus able to take advantage of the increased performance capabilities of the PCI bus while maintaining access to the large existing base of ISA and EISA expansion cards and their corresponding software applications.
The PCI bus is particularly designed to address the growing need for a standardized local bus that is not directly dependent on the speed and size of the CPU bus. New generations of personal computer system software with sophisticated graphical interfaces, multi-tasking and multi-threading bring new requirements that traditional PC input/output architectures cannot satisfy. As indicated in FIG. 2, the input/output functions of the system are decoupled from the processor and memory assets, thereby enabling the input/output design of the system to remain stable over multiple generations of processor and/or memory technology. Regardless of new requirements or technology applied on the CPU side of the host bridge, the PCI side may remain unchanged, which allows re-usability of not only the remainder of the platform chip set, including the PCI/expansion bus bridge, but also all of the other I/O functions interfaced at both the PCI and expansion bus levels.
The PCI/expansion bus bridge unit 40 integrates several bus functions on both the PCI and expansion busses. For the PCI local bus, the functions include PCI local bus arbitration and default bus driver. In the case of an EISA expansion bus, the central functions include the EISA bus controller, EISA arbiter and EISA data swap logic. The PCI/EISA bridge also integrates system functions, including PCI parity and system error reporting, buffer coherency management protocol, PCI and EISA memory and I/O address mapping and decoding. For maximum flexibility, all of these functions are programmable, thereby allowing for a variety of optional features. A particular PCI/EISA bridge set has been developed for the Intel Pentium™ processor. This chip set is illustrated in FIG. 3 and comprises a PCI/EISA bridge (PCEB) and a EISA system component (ESC). These two components work in tandem to provide an EISA I/O sub-system interface for personal computer platforms based on the Pentium™ processor chip and PCI bus standard.
The hierarchy of the CPU bus as the execution bus, PCI local bus as a primary I/O bus and EISA bus as a secondary I/O bus allows concurrency for simultaneous operations in all three bus environments. Data buffering permits concurrency for operations that cross over from one bus environment to another. For example, a PCI device may post data into the PCEB, permitting the PCI local bus transaction to complete in a minimum time and freeing up the PCI local bus for further transactions. The PCI device need not wait for the transfer to complete to its final destination. Meanwhile, any ongoing EISA bus transactions are permitted to complete. The posted data will then be transferred to its EISA bus destination when the EISA bus is available. The PCEB-ESC chip set implements extensive buffering for PCI-to-EISA and EISA-to-PCI bus transactions. In addition to concurrency for the operation of the cross-bus environments, data buffering allows advantage to be taken of the fastest operations within a particular bus environment via PCI burst transfers and EISA burst transfers.
The PCI local bus with 132 MByte/second and EISA with 33 MByte/second peak data transfer rates represent bus environments with significantly different bandwidths. Without buffering, transfers that cross between bus environments would be performed at the speed of the slower bus. Data buffers provide a mechanism for data rate adoption so that the usable bandwidth of the fast bus environment (PCI) is not significantly impacted by the slower bus environment (EISA).
The PCEB can be either a master or slave on the PCI local bus and it is optimized for bus frequencies from 25 megahertz to 33 megahertz. For PCI-initiated transfers, the PCEB functions only as a slave. For EISA-initiated transfers to the PCI local bus, the PCEB is a PCI master. The PCEB contains a fully EISA-compatible master and slave interface. The PCEB directly drives eight EISA slots without external data or address buffering. The PCEB functions as a master or slave on the EISA bus only for transfers between the EISA bus and PCI local bus. For transfers confined to the EISA bus, the PCEB functions neither as a master nor slave. However, the data swap logic contained in the PCEB is involved in such transfers if data size translation is required.
The ESC implements system functions, such as timer/counter, direct memory access (DMA), and interrupt controller. The ESC also implements EISA sub-system control functions, such as EISA bus controller and EISA bus arbiter.
The present invention implements a virtual register set. A register address space is defined with a capacity large enough to accommodate substantial growth in the number of required registers. When the full extent of the register address space is not required, it is necessary to provide for access requests directed to any address within the address space, whether such request is intended or not. Rather than provide a physical register corresponding to each address in the register address space, requests directed to "reserved" addresses are redirected to a physical register containing the same stored value that would be returned if a physical register were associated with the reserved address to which the access was originally directed.
In the case where there is a large number of reserved read-only register addresses, all of which return the same stored value, a single physical register is sufficient for handling access requests to any one of such reserved register addresses. This approach can provide substantial hardware savings.
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of a prior art computer system.
FIG. 2 is a simplified block diagram of a computer system incorporating a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus.
FIG. 3 is a simplified block diagram of a PCI/expansion bus bridge.
FIG. 4 illustrates a conventional translation from a register address space to physical registers.
FIG. 5 illustrates a translation from a register address space to physical registers in accordance with the present invention.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In certain instances, detailed descriptions of well-known data processing techniques, devices and circuits are omitted so as to not obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
The PCI makes extensive use of configuration registers. A slot-based "configuration space" is defined that allows each PCI device up to 256 8-bit configuration registers. Each PCI device has its own configuration space. The configuration registers have three types of access attributes:
Read Only (RO). If a register is read only, writes to this register have no effect.
Read/Write (R/W). A register with this attribute can be read and written.
Read/Write Clear (R/WC). A register bit with this attribute can be read and written. However, a write of a one clears (sets to zero) the corresponding bit and a write of a zero has no effect.
The size of the PCI configuration space is sufficient to accommodate all presently foreseeable requirements of PCI devices. Accordingly, most PCI devices will not utilize the entire configuration space. In fact, the majority of PCI devices will likely utilize only a small fraction of the configuration space. For example, the PCEB configuration space defines only 26 configuration registers. The remainder of the configuration address space is reserved. The PCEB responds to accesses to the reserved address locations by completing the PCI bus cycle. When a reserved register location is read, the default value 0000 h is returned. The reserved register locations are, in effect, read only, i.e., writes have no effect.
A conventional approach for handling reserved register locations is illustrated in FIG. 4. Each location in the register address space is associated with a corresponding physical register. For read only registers, each such register is filled with the appropriate data value or, in the case of reserved registers, a default value. Clearly, this approach requires a large number of components to realize a physical register set in a large address space.
The technique employed with the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 5. Here, reserved register locations 2-8 are mapped to a single physical register B. Thus, in this example, there is a saving of six physical registers. Although this example shows that a contiguous subset of the register locations are mapped to physical register B, the invention is not limited in this regard. Any subset of the register address space, whether comprising contiguous or noncontiguous locations, may be mapped to a single physical register. A straightforward logical gating scheme is used to decode the addresses of the reserved register locations and to generate a chip select signal for the physical registers. Where the number of reserved register locations is large, the savings realized by eliminating physical registers far outweighs the cost of the address decoding network. In the case of the PCEB, implementation of a virtual register set in this manner resulted in a net savings of approximately 3500 gates.
It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the foregoing example of a configuration address space using PCI protocol. This invention has wide application in data processing systems wherever it is desirable to define a register address space, some significant part of which will comprise read-only registers sharing the same stored value, such as is the case when register locations are reserved for future use.
It will be recognized that the above described invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the disclosure. Thus, it is understood that the invention is not to be limited by the foregoing illustrative details, but rather is to be defined by the appended claims.

The ART T8 (Transformer Eight) a high quality totally passive audio interface that uses 8 transformers to separate input and output signal grounds, thereby isolating two systems and reducing hum and ground-loop noise. The T8's audio transformers have flat and wide frequency response and handle high signal levels while maintaining an isolated balanced output. This gives the T8 a very clean and neutral sound with a wide variety of signal sources. The transformers are wound for 1:1 unity gain and are designed to be used with impedances from 600 Ohms to 100k Ohms.
Connection versatility sets the T8 apart from other isolation boxes. The T8 provides balanced XLR, 1/4" phone, and RCA type phono connections on all inputs and outputs simultaneously. The T8 fits easily into virtually any audio system and is a clean patch point between all types of systems.
ART T8 Features
ART T2 Applications
The T8s mounting ears are reversible so you can have either the XLRs on the front or The 1/4" and RCA phono jacks on the front. This maximizes flexibility in cabling your system. Whether you need an interface between a computer based audio workstation and your monitor system, isolation on long cable runs in a fixed installation, isolation of multiple signal sources from your recording equipment, or in many cases, just a safer connection between two audio systems, the T8 can accommodate.
The 19" single high, all steel case and it's passive design allows the T8 to provide years of trouble free service. It's full feature set, rugged construction, and high-end specifications make the T8 the obvious choice for Live Sound, Permanent/Fixed Install, D.J., and virtually any PA application.

luxury beauty brand
The ultimate remedy for a tired blowout, blowpro's ultimate beauty quick fix breathes life into your look in seconds. Targeting the root and removing oil and build-up without water, faux dry re-energizes hair to its former 'just blow dried' glory for up to a whole day. A must-have for fresh hair post-workout. In a single application of this translucent fairyweight powder, faux dry absorbs the excess oil that causes your blowout to wilt. Its specially designed applicator delivers a fine milled blend of micronized corn silk and proactive proteins directly to the root of the hair. Its translucent powder works for every hair color adding volume, gloss and vitality in one effortless application. To transform tired styles, first divide your hair into equal sections. Hold bottle upright. Turn cap clockwise to expose nozzle. Holding upright, six to eight inches away from your hair, squeeze the middle of the bottle until translucent 'poufs' of fine powder appear. Poufed too much? Spot dry the area of hair with a blow dryer and faux dry will instantly disappear.

Divine Poems and Essays, on Various Subjects; In Two Parts
General Books LLC, 2009 - 162 pages
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated.1804 Excerpt: ... Hecommentoatarp preface. DEAR FRIENDS, The following miscellaneous collection, has been written by a pious godly woman; whom, I really believe, fears God above many. In many of her writings her style is rather masculine than otherwise; and therefore she has been suspected of publishing works under her name, which were not her own, but had some minister for their author......whoever thus judged, I am persuaded, were altogether mistaken. Being frequently in the company of ministers, it is not to be wondered at if she should imperceptibly speak or write, in some respects, after their manner. The pieces in prose and verse that are here presented to thee, are not controversial; but they will be found to be of such a nature, that I think all unprejudiced friends of the Lord Jesus Christ will cordially receive them. A warm attachment to and no inconsiderable zeal for the glorious doctrines of the trinity....of the divinity of the Lord Jesus, and of the divinity and divine personality of the Holy Ghost, are discernable throughout the work: nor are the other truths of the gospel sparingly introduced....If thou, beloved reader, art one of the followers of the lamb; if Christ be very precious to thee; if his name be as ointment poured forth to thy soul; then, most probably, the perusal of this IV XJECOMMKNDATORY PREFACE. publication will afford thee both pleasure and profit; especially if thou lookest up to the blessed Spirit of God for a divine blessing upon it. If it should be asked, what was my inducement to write this recommendatory address? I must inform the reader, that it was not from any supposition that the name at the close hereof, had any weight, which would render any capital service to the performance or to the spread thereof; or that either the one or the..

Memories Fall Upon My Dreams
1. Where's your happy place?
I'd probably have to say anywhere outdoors. I love to run. I love to walk. I love to hike. I love being outside. I tend to be stuck indoors more than I like because I write for a living, but I make it a point to go outside every day. Growing up, my father, when he wasn't out of town on business, would take the family to parks for picnics, the lake, up to the mountains, out camping, and even shooting in the desert. I'm a girly girl with tomboy tendencies. I really like that balance in my personality.
2. Have you booked your next holiday?
Yes. I will be heading to Texas to visit with my baby sister and her family. The original plan was to go to Texas and then take a flight to Philadelphia/New York to handle some business. I've changed those plans to allow myself some writing time during the snowy winter months. I'm not a fan of snow, and I know that area gets more than I care for. While I have my Texas trip planned, I don't have definitive dates for Philadelphia and New York. I just know I'll be there in the spring.
3. What was your favorite subject at school and why?
Math. I was a straight A student when I went to school, graduating with honors, in the top percent of my class. While I was good at all subjects, math was just something that came naturally easy for me. Oddly enough, English was my worst subject. My teacher was constantly trying to get me to be more technical with my writing, but I was more of a creative writer. She'd give the class certain assignments, I'd go over her words counts because I was too descriptive. I still passed with an A, but English was always my lowest A.
4. Glamping or all-inclusive?
All-inclusive because I feel camping is not a glamorous activity. It's meant to be rough. When I go camping, I sleep in a sleeping bag inside of a tent. Roast marshmallows over a fire. Tell campfire stories. I would never want to be a part of a luxury camping trip because I think it spoils the concept of camping. Whereas all-inclusive vacations are nice because you don't have to worry about the details. You can just enjoy the holiday.
5. What's been the highlight of your year so far?
Quitting my job to work from home full-time. Watching my income streams grow. I feel more accomplished writing/marketing than I ever did working full-time for someone else. Getting to a point where I am comfortable sharing little details of who I am on this blog. I feel like I'm growing as a person. I'm getting more comfortable in my skin, accepting myself, and writing about it.
6. How did you decide what to name your blog?
It's a play on my first and last name. My last name is a French name in origin. My first name is a gemstone, and it's color happens to be purple. The name sounds like an exotic flower. It sounds pretty to me. My plans for the future is to find a graphic artist and have him/her design a logo that embodies the name.
7. Halloween or Christmas?
I'd say Halloween because I love dressing up for the holiday, but Christmas has this amazing magic to it. Halloween is an in the moment holiday, whereas Christmas is an event. Halloween you dress up and do it, but with Christmas I have memories attached to the season. I remember my father driving us around neighborhoods to look at lights. I remember watching Christmas movies with my siblings. I remember the big dinners. I remember my parents would buy boatloads of gifts. Along with toys, they would get us electronics systems and test them on Christmas Eve. My brother, sisters, and I could hear my mom and dad playing them. We would sneak out of bed and try to get a glimpse of what they were doing. We'd always get caught, and we knew we were going to, but it was a curiosity that got the better of us. We had to check out what was going on. I have fond memories as a whole during the Christmas season.
8. What was your all time favorite trip and why?
I took a trip, when I was married, to North Carolina. It was a road trip. While driving that kind of distance was exhausting, seeing all the places on the routes was incredible. I can say I've been to places I would not have intentionally planned to go to. I've eaten local cuisine. I've met incredible people. It was a wonderful trip. I've done a similar road trip later on, but it wasn't quite as extensive. I flew to St. Louis, drove to Chicago, Ohio, and then back to St. Louis. Both were incredible trips but in different ways.
9. What's next for your blog?
I'm not sure yet. I'd like to move from two days a week postings to three and then four, but it would have to be done in a way that wouldn't burden me with more work. I love coming over here and connecting with fellow bloggers, but I have time constraints. I would like to make a stronger commitment to the blog, maybe showcase more of my writing, and maybe even bring in more of a fashion presence. It was intended to be a fashion blog, but I feel it's become more personal. I feel like it's more of a journal in its current state. I think that's a good thing, but I do have advertising on the blog. I want to keep the personality of the blog while creating a more solid income stream.

Nomura - Tetsujin No.2
|click here to return to the previous page..
Whenever I find a robot or spacetoy I always want to know the story behind it. For someone who lives in Japan the Tetsujin, astroboy scene must be pretty clear but not to us outside Japan :-) I found some interesting info about Tetsujin:
Tetsujin 28-gō (鉄人28号, Tetsujin Nijūhachi-gō , literally "Iron Man #28") is a 1956 manga written and illustrated by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, who also created Giant Robo. The series centred on the adventures of a young boy named Shotaro Kaneda, who controlled a giant robot named Tetsujin 28, built by his late father.
The manga was later adapted into four anime TV series, the first in 1963. It was the first Japanese series to feature a giant robot. The 1963 series was later released in America as Gigantor. A live action motion picture with heavy use of computer generated graphics was produced in Japan in 2005.
Looks like Tetsujin was and still is VERY popular in Japan but also getting more and more interest outside the country.
Back to the robot now. Its build by Nomura in Japan in the sixties. The robot is mainly made out of lithographed tin except the head which is made out of plastic. Its funny to see how the molds of Mechanized robby the robot were used to build this toy. the bodystampings, arms and legs are exactly the same. The robot walks just like robby and his eyes flash, great and inpressive robot to seen in action.
The condition of this Tetsujin No. 2 is mint and the robot has never been played with. It comes with the original box which is in good condition but suffered from direct sunlight and showes some discoloring on the toplid.
The box is complete and all original and the artwork is fantastic. The box has some light storagewear.
A very scarce toy from Japan that is not often found outside Japan in this condition.
Hard to improve on.

Recovery In Progress….
Posted by Brad:
Just wanted to give you all an update on Jen and the babies condition.
They are all still doing very well as far as we can tell. Jen has experienced much more pain since we came home from the hospital and has had some nausea problems, but both of those issues seem to have taken a turn for the better today. Jen is able to do more by herself each day and we are so thankful for all of your prayers. She is recovering at an amazing rate and we know that God is completely responsible for that progress!
Please continue to pray for our babies this week. We go back to the doctor for a check-up on Thursday, so be praying that we find our children doing well.
Have a great week everyone!

The fifth book of Moses, called Deuteronomy, chapter 8, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Omne mandatum, quod ego praecipio tibi hodie, cave dili genter ut facias, ut possitis vivere et multiplicemini ingressique possideatis terram, pro qua iuravit Dominus patribus vestris.
2 Et recordaberis cuncti itineris, per quod adduxit te Dominus Deus tuus his quadraginta annis per desertum, ut affligeret te atque tentaret, et nota fierent, quae in tuo animo versabantur, utrum custodires mandata illius an non.
3 Afflixit te penuria et dedit tibi cibum manna, quem ignorabas tu et patres tui, ut ostenderet tibi quod non in solo pane vivat homo, sed in omni verbo, quod egreditur de ore Domini.
4 Vestimentum tuum, quo operiebaris, nequaquam defecit, et pes tuus non intumuit his quadraginta annis.
5 Recogites ergo in corde tuo quia, sicut erudit homo filium suum, sic Dominus Deus tuus erudivit te,
6 ut custodias mandata Domini Dei tui et ambules in viis eius et timeas eum.
7 Dominus enim Deus tuus introducet te in terram bonam, terram rivorum aquarum et fontium, in cuius campis et montibus erumpunt fluviorum abyssi,
8 terram frumenti, hordei ac vinearum, in qua ficus et malogranata et oliveta nascuntur, terram olei ac mellis,
9 ubi absque ulla penuria comedes panem tuum et rerum omnium abundantia perfrueris; cuius lapides ferrum sunt, et de montibus eius aeris metalla fodiuntur;
10 ut, cum comederis et satiatus fueris, benedicas Domino Deo tuo pro terra optima, quam dedit tibi.
11 Observa et cave, ne quando obliviscaris Domini Dei tui et neglegas mandata eius atque iudicia et praecepta, quae ego praecipio tibi hodie;
12 ne, postquam comederis et satiatus fueris, domos pulchras aedificaveris et habitaveris in eis
13 habuerisque armenta et ovium greges multos, argenti et auri cunctarumque rerum copiam,
14 elevetur cor tuum, et obliviscaris Domini Dei tui, qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti, de domo servitutis,
15 et ductor tuus fuit in solitudine magna atque terribili, in qua erat serpens adurens et scorpio ac terra arida et nullae omnino aquae; qui eduxit tibi rivos de petra durissima
16 et cibavit te manna in solitudine, quod nescierunt patres tui, et, postquam afflixit ac probavit te, ad extremum misertus est tui,
17 ne diceres in corde tuo: "Fortitudo mea et robur manus meae haec mihi omnia praestiterunt"
18 sed recorderis Domini Dei tui, quod ipse vires tibi praebuerit, ut consequereris prosperitatem, ut impleret pactum suum, super quo iuravit patribus tuis, sicut praesens indicat dies.
19 Sin autem oblitus Domini Dei tui secutus fueris deos alienos coluerisque illos et adoraveris, ecce nunc testificor vobis quod omnino dispereatis:
20 sicut gentes, quas delevit Dominus in introitu vestro, ita et vos peribitis, si inoboedientes fueritis voci Domini Dei vestri.
King James Version
1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.

This week Jessica Biel was quoted on the subject of her beauty, which she said has gotten in the way of being considered for some parts. Easy Virtue, Stephan Elliott's uneven but charming adaptation of the Noel Coward play, is going to do nothing to dissuade the public of her extreme good fortune in the looks department. Striding around in wide-legged trousers or smiling from under some exquisite little cloche, she is dazzling on the level that makes you think perhaps that whole business with Helen of Troy wasn't so far-fetched. (See TIME's coverage of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.)
But as Larita, the exotic American divorcée who sends her new upper-crust English in-laws into fits, Biel is more than just a pretty face. She's funny and poised, rather than simply posed, as so often is the result when directors are confronted with someone who makes everyone else look like mutton. There are a few moments when you sense the nervous tension inherent in an actress trying to make a breakthrough that could and should change her career, but they are outweighed by the number of times she's in command. She also has the most memorable scene involving a household pet since the time Christopher sat on Adriana's dog in the The Sopranos this one's funnier. (From the newest movies to music, see TIME's summer arts preview.)
The film itself is less of a revelation, a revisiting of familiar types and scenarios that are nicely executed but not exactly relevant beyond the pleasure of nostalgia. The Whittaker family members are classic examples of interwar, edging-toward-shabby English gentry, ready to be jolted into 20th century reality. The scissors-sharp matriarch (Kristen Scott Thomas) thoroughly disapproves of her son John's (Ben Barnes) taste in brides. He was supposed to marry Sarah (Charlotte Riley), the girl from the next castle over, who could have restored the family to its former glory. Instead he shows up with Larita, a race-car-driving native of Detroit who doesn't want to play lawn tennis, is a fan of Lady Chatterley's Lover and demands to know the cook's name ("Cook, I can't call you by a verb").
Colin Firth plays John's father Jim, a sardonic, kindly and unkempt World War I vet who dallied with French whores at war's end before being fetched home. John's daffy older sister Marion (Katherine Parkinson, whose voice is as treacherously sweet as cotton candy) is halfway to becoming a Miss Havisham. The youngest Whittaker is Hilda (Kimberley Nixon), who is both jealous of Larita and bewitched by her and is, in her troublemaking, a clear precursor to Briony of Ian McEwan's Atonement, written nearly 75 years after Coward's play.
Elliott adapted Easy Virtue with co-writer Sheridan Jobbins and has been respectful to the basic plot (although he brightens up the ending) and to Coward's gift with a bon mot. "We try not to speak of it," John tells Larita, referencing his father's disgraceful postwar doings in France. "Except in public." I do not have a copy of the original play on hand, but if that isn't lifted straight out of Coward, I'll eat Larita's cloche. (Not until after I've worn it a bit though. Charlotte Walters' costumes are perfection.) I suspect this is also the case with almost every line uttered by Furber the butler, played by the droll and dry Kris Marshall.
There is, however, something problematic about Coward, at least as viewed from a 21st century perspective. The zingers are so constant and sharp that everyone has, of necessity, donned emotional armor, but unfortunately, that also tends to keep the audience at a distance. Even Larita, who is so likable thanks to Biel, is a bit of an emotional mystery. She tells us why she married John, but we still aren't sure what she could have seen in him; he's almost embarrassingly boyish. (Biel is actually a few months younger than Barnes, although from her sophistication you'd never know it.) Because of the comedy of the language and Elliott's light, eager pacing, the darker issues underlying Coward's original, about the ugliness of class and reputation and rebellion, seem more extraneous than perhaps they should.
But if you've got a mother of a certain generation, whisk her away for a matinee. She will sigh and speak of Cole Porter his music punctuates many scenes, and indeed, there are moments when you fear Barnes is going to deliver a full number and she will immediately forgive you for that unfortunate scarf you bought her for Mother's Day.
See TIME's review of Terminator Salvation.

Fazer mood boards é uma das coisas que mais gosto de fazer: juntar as imagens favoritas e que mais me inspiram do momento e colocá-las numa pequena colagem.
O de hoje é principalmente tons pastel e um pouco de glitter -dois amores- e já que a primavera está a chegar mal posso esperar por usar estes tons outra vez, tirar todas as roupinhas frescas das caixas de arrumação!
O que acharam deste mood board?
Espero que tenham uma ótima semana!
Heeello there, long time no see huh? This past week was a bit crazy: I had my philosophy test done (it went well) and a Arts History paper to deliver, that's why I didn't come here and I have to say: I missed it!
One of my favorite posts to do are these moodboard thingies, I love gathering my favorite pictures in the moment, which are also a big inspiration daily and putting them into a little board.
Today's moodboard is mainly pastels and has a little bit of glitter, since I love it so much and now that Spring is coming I can't wait to wear all of my jolly clothing again!
What do you think of this mood board?
Have a nice week!

After the NRC appointed a high-level Task Force to study implications of the Fukushima accident for the regulation of U.S. reactors, Dr. Jaczko
exercised his authority as chairman to ensure that the Task Force could conduct its review independently, without interference by fellow commissioners or non-Task Force staff members. As a result, the Task Force issued a forceful report that called on the agency to make safety upgrades that had been delayed since the post-Three Mile Island safety review thirty years before. Under Dr. Jaczko's leadership, the agency adopted many of the Task Force's recommendations for improvements to the NRC's regulatory system for providing a basic level of protection to public health, safety and the environment.
Recently, when the commission was presented with requests for approval of new reactor licenses at the Vogtle site in Georgia and the Summer site in South Carolina, Chairman Jaczko asserted construction and operation of new reactors should not be allowed unless their licenses incorporated firm commitments to implement the Task Force recommendations for post-Fukushima safety upgrades. He was overridden by his fellow commissioners. The new reactors were licensed and are now under construction. As Dr. Jaczko stated in his dissent from the licensing decision, postponing implementation of safety upgrades until after reactor licensing is fraught with difficulty and uncertainty. Once construction is underway or completed, future commissioners may lack the resolve to order expensive design changes that require the ripping out of completed reactor parts. And without Dr. Jaczko, the commission could lack even a dissenting voice.
Although the NRC is an independent federal agency, it has earned the reputation of being "captive" to the nuclear industry. Congress rarely nominates to the commission any individual who lacks industry approval. And it is commonplace for commissioners to land comfortable industry jobs after leaving the agency. In the Fukushima Daiichi disaster, we saw the devastating consequences of such a cozy relationship between the Japanese regulatory agency and the industry it oversees when the government complacently ignored explicit warnings about the seismic risks to the Fukushima reactors. Here, the effectiveness of the NRC's continuing response to the Fukushima accident could be seriously set back by the loss of Dr. Jaczko's independent and outspoken advocacy for the prompt and effective adoption of Fukushima-related reforms.
We have a chance to look at the Fukushima disaster, be humbled and learn. Having delayed adoption of safety reforms that were proposed thirty years ago after the Three Mile Island accident, we cannot afford to postpone them any longer. The Obama Administration has nominated a promising candidate for that task, Allison Macfarlane. Dr. Macfarlane, a geologist, has shown she is willing to take unpopular but principled positions by opposing the Yucca Mountain Repository on scientific grounds. She has also co-authored a ground-breaking study on the public health and environmental risks of pool storage of spent reactor fuel. She wisely advocates deep disposal rather than reprocessing of spent fuel on economic and nonproliferation grounds. And she has promoted public participation in the deliberations of the President's Blue Ribbon Commission on the future of nuclear power in the U.S. She should be appointed chair if she demonstrates a commitment to protecting public safety on a par with Gregory Jaczko.
Curran is an attorney in Washington, D.C. who for 30 years has represented citizen and environmental groups in NRC licensing and enforcement cases. Goldstein is director of the Turner Environmental Law Clinic at Emory University Law School. They represent nine civic and environmental organizations in a court appeal of the NRC's decision to license the new Vogtle reactors.

SAN JOSE (KRON) — San Jose police are investigating the attempted murder of two police officers.
It happened Sunday around 7:30 p.m. when the officers were patrolling in the area of Luby and Ripley drives.
They were trying to contact a group of men.
The group ran away and one of the men turned around and shot the officers.
The ones who were targeted were not hit or injured and did not shoot their weapons.
The suspect has not been found or identified.
Police have closed off the area to try and find the suspect and secure the scene.
Officers describe the suspect as a Hispanic man, about 6 feet tall, between 160 to 180 pounds, about 20 years old, and clean shaven.
The suspect was wearing a black and grey Pendleton with a white T-shirt underneath and dark pants.
A $10,000 reward is offered for information leading to an arrest of the suspect. A description of the suspect will be available later on Monday.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 911 or can remain anonymous and call Crime Stoppers at 408-947-7867.


text: My partner and I started our part-time lawn and landscape maintenance business in February, and we're just curious as to what the opinions are of whether we should finance any new equipment or just save up and pay cash. As an overview of what our mission is and our equipment situation, we're just looking to have 8-10 (small) yards that we cut on a bi-weekly basis; this is a pretty realistic expectation for our situation. I know a lot of our competition won't crank a mower for anything less than a $65 yard, so we've been targeting VERY small yards (1500-2500 sq. ft.) in our own cookie-cutter neighborhood for around $30-$35. We're currently only working with two 21" pushers and an Echo commercial edger, trimmer & backpack blower. We are currently borrowing one of our father's 5' x 8' tilt trailer, which we keep nearly 100% of the time. We can afford to target these smaller yards because a.) we each work full-time and aren't relying on this income in any way; this is more of a "hobby" really, and b.) we really only have the capacity at this point to target small yards. I'm thinking our first purchase might need to be our own trailer, but I'm torn between this a a bigger mower since there really haven't been any conflicts with us borrowing the trailer. A bigger mower (maybe a 36"-48" walk-behind) would allow us to target slightly larger yards in nearby neighborhoods, but we would have the cash for a trailer long before we would a mower at this point. So, my question is, given our brief background, how should we proceed from this point? I'm torn between trying to finance a new trailer & mower and just chipping away little by little and paying cash. We're not looking to build a multimillion dollar business; just a nice vacation every year or so would be nice. Thanks for your input!
