6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Wolf Eyes is the closest that pure, antisocial noise gets to the mainstream. The fact that the notorious Detroit band's latest disc, Burned Mind, is out on Sub Pop (Nirvana's old label, duh) is more of a testament to Sonic Youth main man and Wolf Eyes fanatic Thurston Moore's lingering A&R pull than any actual commercial aspirations on the part of the musicians. "Thurston is great; he would come on stage with us and go totally wild when we toured together," says vocalist, metal banger, electronics tweaker and guitarist Mike Connelly, who replaced Aaron Dilloway after the recording of Burned Mind. Connelly claims the new lineup is going to be even more extreme than previous incarnations. "On a musical level, people can expect lower lows and higher highs," he boasts. "We're getting way more into dynamics these days." With song titles like "Black Vomit" and "Stabbed in the Face," it's plain that Wolf Eyes isn't out to court radio play. But despite the deliberately plodding caveman rhythms, burbling electronic undertow and shard-gargling vocals, Wolf Eyes isn't necessarily trying to scare people off, either. "This is what's fun for us to play and listen to, and it's what our audience likes, too. We just enjoy extreme things," contends Connelly. "We're really looking forward to playing Houston," he adds. The opening act, local noise merchants Rusted Shut, he says, "is one of our favorite bands in the world."

There's been a sharp gain in Arctic sea ice since the summer record minimum in September 2012, which Real Science has claimed to be the biggest recovery on satellite record.
But a team team of scientists led by University College London yesterday reported there was a substantial decline in ice volume during the previous two winters.
The analysis uses data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Cryosat satellite, using its high resolution radar altimeter.
This confirms reports that alongside the decline in the spatial extent of ice which has been widely reported using satellite data since 1979, there is crucially much less multi-year (year-round) ice.
This is important, since multi-year ice is older and hence thicker and slower to melt in summer.
First year ice, which is forming now in the Arctic following the record ice-loss this summer, is thinner and much more prone to melting.
Nevertheless it's been an impressive recovery in Arctic sea ice since last summer.
It's important to us here in the UK because scientists believe what's happening in the Arctic may have a direct impact on our summer climate.
According to research at Sheffield University, which I wrote about here, the decrease in Arctic ice extent may be to blame for our run of poor summers – and if it continues, cool wet summers may be something we have to get used to.
Only time will tell whether the recovery in sea ice extent so far this winter is the start of a new trend, or, as most scientists believe, just one of the many false dawns when it comes to talk of a proper meaningful recovery in Arctic sea ice.
Follow me on twitter @Hudsonweather
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
Join the discussion...
'Recovery' probably the wrong word to use. After a record minimum the ice will always return due to how cold it is in winter. The last record recovery was in 2008, the winter after the last record minimum.
Winter maximums are on a downward trend, summer minimums are on a greater trend.
The recovery is nothing to be excited about.
The only "difference" in this winter's re-freeze appears to be the Kara Sea.
Whether that will transpose into more ice being retained in the area come summer only time will tell.
"First year ice, which is forming now in the Arctic following the record ice-loss this summer, is thinner and much more prone to melting."
For there to be an increase in "multi-year (year-round) ice" surely it would have to start with "first year ice"?
So what is the norm for Arctic sea ice extent and volume? The satellite record is too short to establish a norm. There is anecdotal evidence that the extent in the 1930's was less than what we have seen during the satellite era. And as we all know parts of Greenland were settled and cultivated for a couple of hundred years in the MWP which suggests there was generally less ice around. So what is the norm? One might assume that the norm is that sea ice extent fluctuates and always has.
Long-term prediction from short-term data. That would be stupid.
There are good records back to the 1930's/40's. Satellite data from 1979. We know it's in decline. We know it's thinner. We know it's warmer.
CO2 or another reson doesn't change that.
Paul Hudson wrote:
"Nevertheless it's been an impressive recovery in Arctic sea ice since last summer."
Perhaps the reason for the "impressive recovery" (meaning the difference from the previous minimum) is that the previous minimum was the lowest on record? http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/files/2000/09/Figure3.png
The ice "recovered" so quickly because there was more open water to freeze this winter than in any other since records began. And yes, open water will freeze in winter in the Arctic, global warming or no global warming.
That anyone would be impressed by the obvious 'spin' being put on this manufactured 'record' by the usual suspects defies credulity. Anthony Watts has called it a "stunning rebound". Well, since the September 2012 minimum the following sea ice extents have been recorded in the Arctic (NSIDC and all in million km2):
Oct: 7.0 (2nd lowest Oct extent on record)
Nov: 9.9 (3rd lowest Nov extent on record)
Dec: 12.2 (2nd lowest Dec extent on record)
Jan: 13.8 (6th lowest Jan extent on record)
That's some "stunning rebound".
Arctic sea ice decline is likely linked with the AMO in my opinion and will tend to vary in exetnt and thickness accordingly. That said, I would agree with 5&6, that there is strong evidence that minimums are lower now than when the sat records began around 30 years ago, and reasonably good evidence that they are lower than at the start of the 20thC. By how much is open to question.
This is what you might expect in a warmer world generally, but clearly the low extent in 2012 was not a result of one single year's temp and the role of soot is still being assessed.
If, for the purposes of argument, we accept that a decline Arctic sea ice extent/volume is driven by warming alone, then it begs the question of how long term feedbacks can manifest beyond the length of any single solar cycle or any naturally occurring ocean cycle. This makes a mockery of AGW claims by the likes of Tamino that he can identify and remove a natural signal from a temp record. It is also generally assumed that Arctic sea ice has been trending downwards since the LIA which also begs the question of how does one determine when the recovery from the LIA actually ended. Does anybody know the source of the apparent scientific consensus that recovery from the LIA ended in the mid 20thC?
Peer-Reviewed Survey Finds Majority Of Scientists Skeptical Of Global Warming Crisis:
You've been framed:
@8 ukpahonta
Surely that headline should be -
'Peer-Reviewed Survey Finds Majority Of A CERTAIN SUBSECTION (GEO SCIENTISTS) OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY ALONG WITH SOME GEO ENGINEERS, are Skeptical Of Global Warming Crisis'
Geo scientists/engineers seem like a reasonably well informed bunch - ideal for this type of study I would have thought. Did you actually read it John? The intent of the study was not to undermine the consensus - that was an incidental discovery of the survey. The study appeared to be more about finding common pathways for progress in environmental legislation through a better understanding of professional and psychological identity.
#9 john_cogger
You wouldn't be suggesting bias in the reporting of a peer reviewed survey, would you?
Surely that should never happen. /sarc
From the study:
".... we reconstruct the frames of one group of experts who have not received much attention in previous research and yet play a central role in understanding industry responses – professional experts in petroleum and related industries."
As far as I can see the scientists and engineers who took part in the survey all work in the petroleum and related industries. So what the study is dealing with here is experts from a specialised sector that have a 'motivation'. In fact, that seems to be a central issue of the study - how these motivations frame the experts' views on climate change.
This is a small subset of specialists, all of whom exclusively depend on the petroleum industry for a living. Even then 36% of them acknowledged that recent climate change was largely the result of fossil fuel combustion. As for the other 64%, the phrase 'turkeys don't vote for Christmas' springs to mind. You cant really blame them.
But as far as using this survey to provide evidence that most scientists and engineers reject AGW, I'm afraid it's a non-starter, despite the typical Heartland spin (that never mentions the occupation area of the study group, not surprisingly). The survey group is too specific and too motivated to provide a fair representation of a broad scientific consensus.
ahh spin . . . don't you just love that word! It's crept into everyday language, much like 'nimby', as some sort of all encompassing get out of jail free card - no reasoned argument required. Well let's try a different spin shall we? The scientists and engineers that were asked to participate, make a living by knowing their stuff - if they get it wrong, they can and will, get the boot. Those running on government funds on the other hand - well, let's just say, the buck stops (very rarely) with the lowest denominator. Some say you should trust one group more than another. We're all driven by self interest - that applies as readily to Mr Shell as it does to Prof Climate Consensus. I should think it applies even more to junior climate scientists with any academic ambition.
If a survey finds X number of people support a certain view, then fine, thats what the data shows.
However, the Headline is 'Majority of Scientists. which clearly isn't the case.
#12 newdwr54
You seem to imply that those who took part in the survey were motivated mainly by maintaining their income .
Could not the same be said for those in previous surveys who are dependent upon research grants?
Are the individuals not to be trusted to provide an unbiased view point?
A small subset of specialists. Where would you expect the largest subset of geological scientists and engineers to be working in the private sector?
Heartland spin, I don't see the link anywhere in the study or article, perhaps I missed it, you didn't just make that bit up did you?
' The survey group is too specific and too motivated to provide a fair representation of a broad scientific consensus.'
Was that about this study or the Doran study?
The Doran paper has been criticised by many sceptics in the past, where a survey of 10,256 with 3146 respondents was whittled down to 75 out of 77 "expert" 'active climate researchers' (ACR) to give the 97% figure, based on just two very simplistic (shallow) questions that even the majority of sceptics might agree with.
Perhaps you should argue the points that you made against both surveys!
My 1950's Encyclopedia says that Russia had built a thriving shipping industry along its northern coast transporting mainly flax during the early years of the that century. I'm old enough to know that the arctic ice increased dramatically in the1950's and that shipping industry closed down as a result. The amount of time the shipping lanes were open reduced to uneconomic levels.
As already mentioned our current measurements go back to the 1970's when the ice would have been much higher from the rising of the 1950's/60's of which there are plenty of reports to reference.
So to me the whole process is cyclic and I do not believe we have enough knowledge or much understanding of this topic to be able to make many, if any, confident claims.
Although it's fun to try.
15. ukpahonta
Your implication is that climate scientists, who after all specifically study climate and past climates, as opposed to those scientists working in specialised fields such as medicine or mining, etc will only be awarded grants if they discover warming as opposed to cooling. Why would that be the case?
If you were to ask a group of climate scientists (and *only* climate scientists) their views on, say, the benefits or otherwise of strip mining, would you use their views to proclaim that a 'majority of scientists' thought this or that?
My point is that this result does not (and was never intended to) illustrate the views of a majority of geophysicists. It specifically studied the views of geophysicists and engineers working in a very specific field and one that is regarded by the vast majority of climate scientists (as the study itself says) as being the prime contributor to climate change.
#17 newdwr54
Why would that be the case? It certainly was the case as referenced within the paper:
"The proportion of papers found in the ISI Web of Science database that explicitly endorsed anthropogenic climate change has fallen from 75% (for the period between 1993 and 2003) as of 2004 to 45% from 2004 to 2008, while outright disagreement has risen from 0% to 6% (Oreskes, 2004; Schulte, 2008)."
I think that you will find the term 'climate scientist' actually covers those of a more specialist nature that have contributed work from their individual fields of study to the general argument, so I think your question to a climate scientist (and "only" climate scientists) is a bit mute.
Lets not be naive, that very specific field that you mention is probably the largest employer of geophysicists in the private sector. The choice of candidates by the study should be representative of the overall majority, of geophysicists.
Your point about the headline statement in Forbes though is valid and I agree with you but should you now not apply the same logic and reasoning across the board?
What are your conclusions about the Doran survey, with regard to 97% of climate scientists?
In view of the record low level of Arctic ice in the summer, a "record" rebound was almost inevitable and the real test will be next summer.
However it does appear that according to JAXA, sea ice is currently slightly above the 2000 mean and there are physical limits to how much the extent can increase in winter.
I agree with "greensand", that ice has to start off as "first year ice", before it can become "mult-year ice".
If global temperatures are at least partially cyclical, and temperatures generally decline over the next decades, than Arctic sea ice should recover.
I also agree with "lateintheday", that ice extent has been declining since the LIA, which was itself a "blip" in the decline since the "Real" ice age. As I have pointed out before, about 10,000 years ago, Britain was covered in an ice sheet. I am sure that even the most extreme "climate change" zealots wouldn't want to go back to that.
18. ukpahonta
"The proportion of papers found in the ISI Web of Science database that explicitly endorsed anthropogenic climate change has fallen from 75% (for the period between 1993 and 2003) as of 2004 to 45% from 2004 to 2008, while outright disagreement has risen from 0% to 6% (Oreskes, 2004; Schulte, 2008)."
The authors go on to remark that this may well be because anthropogenic climate change is now 'taken as read' (paraphrase) by most current authors. Explicit endorsement shouldn't be conflated with basic acceptance.
"What are your conclusions about the Doran survey, with regard to 97% of climate scientists?"
I think this is the one that examined past published papers? If so, then in my opinion the only way this can be dismissed is by invoking a conspiracy of some sort. I think that a conspiracy on that scale is highly unlikely.

A mechanical lock which serves to hold a transducer carriage in a fixed position at all times except when the storage disk is rotating at a speed sufficient to ensure that the transducers are flying at a height sufficient to avoid damage to the disk surface. The lock is disengaged by means of a solenoid and armature.
1. In an actuator having a frame and a transducer carriage for positioning a transducer with respect to a recording media,
a lock mechanism for holding said carriage in a fixed position relative to said frame, comprising:
a pin member fixed to said frame and movable from a first position engaging said carriage to restrain movement thereof to a second position clear of said carriage to allow movement thereof,
spring means biasing said pin member toward said first position,
solenoid means having a magnetic coil and an armature means mechanically coupled to said pin member,
means for energizing said solenoid in response to a signal indicating a predetermined velocity of said media relative to said transducer to move said pin member from said first position to said second position.
2. In an actuator having a frame and a transducer carriage for positioning a transducer with respect to a recording media,
a lock mechanism for holding said carriage in a fixed position relative to said frame, comprising;
a support member mounted on a shaft fixed to said frame,
a lock pin affixed to said support member,
said support member being movable between a first position wherein said lock pin engages said carriage and a second position wherein
said lock pin is clear of said carriage,
spring means biasing said support member toward said first position,
solenoid means having a magnetic coil and an armature means mechanically coupled to said pin support member,
means for energizing said solenoid including,
counter means for generating an output signal in response to a predetermined count,
means for enabling said counter in response to a start motor signal,
means for applying, to said counter, pulses derived in response to motion of said recording media,
solenoid control means for applying current to said solenoid in response to an output signal from said counter,
said armature means being operative to move said support member from said first position to said second position when said solenoid is energized, thereby releasing said carriage for movement.
3. A device according to claim 2 wherein;
said fixed position of said carriage locates a transducer over a portion of the recording media which is not used for data.
4. A device according to claim 3 wherein;
said recording media is a magnetic disk.
5. A device according to claim 2 wherein;
said output signal from said counter is representative of a relative velocity between said transducer and said media greater than the minimum for safe operation of said transducer in the region of recorded data.
6. A device according to claim 3 wherein;
said output signal from said counter is representative of a rotational velocity of said disk which is sufficient to make said transducer fly at a safe distance from said disk.
7. A device according to claim 2 wherein,
said shaft has a threaded adjustment knob on the end thereof opposite said frame for positioning said support member along the axis of said shaft.
8. A device according to claim 2 wherein;
said carriage contains a hole for accommodation of said lock pin at a position opposite said lock pin when said carriage is in the fully extended position.
9. A device according to claim 6 wherein;
said carriage contains a hole for accommodation of said lock pin at a position in alignment with said lock pin when said carriage is in the fully extended position.
10. In a storage device having a rotatable storage media with a plurality of data tracks, an actuator having a frame and a transducer carriage for positioning a transducer to coact with a desired data track,
a lock mechanism for holding said carriage in a fixed position relative to said frame, comprising:
a pin support member fixed to said frame and movable from a first position engaging said carriage to restrain movement thereof to a second position clear of said carriage to allow movement thereof,
spring means biasing said pin support member toward said first position,
solenoid means having a magnetic coil and an armature means mechanically coupled to said pin support member,
means for energizing said solenoid in response to a signal indicating a predetermined safe rotational velocity of said media relative to said transducer to move said pin support member from said first position to said second position thereby allowing said carriage to move relative to said data tracks.
This invention relates to a mechanical lock for a carriage assembly in a disk type data storage device. The lock is particularly useful for preventing the heads from making contact with the disk in the region of the data tracks.
The surface of a disk used for the magnetic storage of data must be free of defects which could cause errors to occur. Great care is exercised in the manufacture of such disks to assure that defects do not exist or, if they do exist, that they are so small that they do not create errors in the recording or reproduction process. This is only part of the problem since defects can be created on the disk even after the manufacturing process is complete. A source of post manufacturing defects is the contact between the head and the disk which occurs when the disk is not rotating at a speed sufficient to cause the heads to fly.
In the prior art systems, the carriage assembly is usually fastened down to prevent motion during the period the unit is in transit between the manufacturing site and the customer's place of installation. The fastening devices used for this purpose involve screws or other elements which require human intervention. Once at the customer's site, the fastener is released and seldom used again because it is not the type of fastener or operation that the customer is likely to be familiar with.
The prior art disk files have tended to be rather large and expensive units. As a result, they were seldom moved once they were installed. However, disk drives have become progressively smaller and lighter. This has led to the situation where they are frequently moved about in the customer's office or computer room. It is this sort of movement, from one side of a room to another or out the door and down the hall, that causes the heads to ride back and forth across the disk in contact with the recording surface to create defects in the recording media. The mechanism by which defects are created includes gouging and scraping from particles in contact with both the head and the disk as well as the direct contact of the head with the disk surface.
The present invention allows the disk file to be conveniently moved by a person having no technical training without danger of having the recording heads slide in contact with the disk.
When the disk drive is in the inoperative state, that is, when the drive motor is not rotating, a spring actuated pin engages a hole in the carriage to prevent it from moving. When a signal is sent to the motor speed control indicating that the motor should be energized to begin rotation, a signal is also sent to a counter to reset it to zero. When the motor rotates it causes tachometer pulses to be sent to the motor speed control unit and to the counter. After a predetermined number of pulses, sufficient to allow the motor time to reach a safe speed, the counter emits an energize signal to a solenoid. When energized, the solenoid retracts the pin from the carriage and allows the carriage to move so that the desired data track can be energized.
FIG. 1 is an exploded pictorial view of a voice coil type actuator with the carriage, head assembly, and carriage lock.
FIG. 2 is an end view, partially in section, of the actuator shown from the end which faces the disks.
FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the portion of the actuator in the region of the mechanical lock.
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of mechanical lock operated by the solenoid to engage the carriage.
FIG. 5 is a schematic drawing of the electronic system used to control the lock.
With reference to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1, the invention is shown in magnetic actuator of the linear motor type for use in a small disk file system. Aspects of the magnetic actuator not claimed in this application are described and claimed in co-pending application Ser. No. 340,169, filed Jan. 18, 1982 and assigned to the assignee of this application.
An outer frame 11 of magnetic material surrounds an inner core formed of two magnetically permeable frame parts 61 and 62. Cantilevered inner core parts 63 and 64 are integral parts of the frame parts 61 and 62 respectively. Cap screws which pass through the flange portion of frame parts 61 and 62 are used to secure these parts to the outer frame 11.
The drive coil 35 is wound on coil form 37 and disposed in the air gap between the inner core parts 61 and 62 and the radially polarized magnets disposed against the inner surface of outer frame 11 and not shown. The openings between inner core parts 63 and 64 accommodate webs which attach the movable drive coil 35 to the transducer carriage 67.
Movement of the transducer carriage is accommodated by means of roller bearings 83, one of which is visible. The bearings 83 ride against rod 81, which is fixed to cantilevered arm 80 which forms a part of the frame part 62. Other bearings, not shown in the drawing, support the other side of carriage 67.
A plurality of transducers 78 are mounted at the end of carriage 67 for coaction with a rotating disk or other rotating data storage media.
The automatic lock mechanism includes a rotatable pin support member 100 which is mounted on a threaded shaft 101 forming a part of the lock support plate 102. A pair of screws 103 and 104 hold support plate 102 to the frame part 62. A locking pin 105 projects upwardly so as to mate with a hole in the underside of carriage 67. The hole is located at a point on the carriage so that pin 105 matches the hole when the carriage is at the extreme outward position. When the carriage is at this position the transducers are over a portion of the rotating disk which is not used for the storage of data.
In FIG. 2 the carriage 67 is shown in section with the section line at the point of the hole 120 which accommodates pin 105. Pin support member 100 is mounted on the shaft 101 to allow limited rotation toward and away from carriage 67. Spring 121, which wraps around shaft 101, has one end 122 which bears against mounting screw 104 and another end 123 which is retained in a recess 126 in support member 100. Spring 121 urges support member 100 upwardly in a counterclockwise direction. It has sufficient force to hold support member 100 and lock pin 105 against carriage 67 to hold carriage 67 in place even when pin 105 is not seated in hole 120.
When it is desired to move the carriage to access a desired track on the rotatable disk associated with the device, the coil 130 in solenoid 131 is energized to cause the armature 132 to move downward. The solenoid 132 has a ball shaped end portion 134 which is captured in a slot 128 in support member 100. When solenoid armature 132 moves downward in response to energization of coil 130 it causes support member 100 to rotate downwardly away from carriage 67. This rotation removes pin 105 from hole 120 and releases carriage 67 for movement. Solenoid 131 is maintained in the energized state for the entire period of operation.
Although it is not shown in the drawing it will be appreciated that the actuator and solenoid are fixed to a common frame which also supports the rotatable disk assembly.
FIG. 3 shows the lock structure from the bottom of the assembly. In this view, the shape of slot 128 is clearly shown. The shape of recess 123, which retains spring 121 is also seen from this view. Shaft 101 is threaded at the end to allow rotation of the knurled adjustment knob 140. When adjustment knob 140 is rotated, it moves along the threads on shaft 101. A collar portion 141 fits into a groove 142 in the pin support member 100, causing the support member to move along shaft 101 at the same time. The bore in support member 100 which accommodates shaft 101 is not threaded so support member 100 is free to follow the movement of adjustment knob 140.
The adjustment knob 140 allows the position of lock pin 105 to be very accurately located to exactly match the location of hole 120 when the carriage is in the extended position. This assures that the lock pin will enter the hole to provide a secure hold on carriage 67 instead of relying on simply the frictional engagement between the pin and the carriage. When adjustment of knob 140 is completed, a lock nut 145 is threaded on shaft 101 and tightened against knob 140 to secure it in place on the shaft.
FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the mechanical lock to better illustrate the interrelationship of the various parts. The unthreaded portion of shaft 101 is shown. Spring 121 is portrayed in the released condition. The shape of slot 128 is illustrated. The relationship between shoulder 141 on knob 140 and the slot 142 on pin support member 100 is evident. The open slot 148 and the slotted hole 149, which accommodate the mounting screws 103 and 104, are also shown.
The electronic control system for the lock is shown in FIG. 5. The disk spindle drive motor 160 is connected to the A.C. supply terminals 162 through motor speed control 164. The motor speed control 164 is a conventional speed regulator and forms no part of this invention. It is effective to regulate the rotational velocity of the storage disk to a desired value. It accomplishes this result by means of feedback tachometer pulses derived from the motor. A start motor signal is also fed to the motor speed control 164. This signal is effective to start the motor from the rest condition. It will be noted that the start motor signal and the tachometer pulses are also applied to counter 170. The start motor signal on line 171 is connected to the enable input 175 of counter 170. The tachometer pulses on line 176 are applied to the count input 177 of counter 170. When the count value in counter 170 reaches a predetermined value a safe speed signal is generated on line 180. The line 180 is connected to solenoid latch control 181. When the safe speed signal appears on line 180, the solenoid latch control 181 causes the solenoid winding 130 to be energized. As described earlier, energization of solenoid winding 130 causes armature 132 to move downward and rotate support member 100 downward, removing pin 105 from the hole in carriage 67 to free it for movement.
The safe speed signal on line 180 appears after a predetermined number of tachometer pulses have been generated. The number is selected to assure sufficient time for acceleration of the motor and disk to a velocity which allows the heads to fly rather than rub against the surface of the disk. In a typical embodiment this will be approximately 3000 rpm.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

How do I find a lawyer who specialize in dealing with trying to end my pc 290 or is it all the same with all lawyers?
I don't think it's the same with all lawyers. You want to retain an experienced criminal attorney. The Orange County Bar Association is one good source to find a certified specialist for a referral. AVVO is another. Find a good lawyer in Orange County or somebody you feel comfortable with. This is a serious issue and you need an experienced criminal lawyer. Find out how many cases similar to yours the lawyer has handled. Being a certified specialist is just one factor. If you find a non-certified criminal lawyer that has experience, you should go with the lawyer you feel comfortable with.
Give Eric Chase a call at United Defense group in Studio City. I know he is a bit far away but it may be worth it.

Three men are accused of cashing stolen checks at a local back, taken from a construction company.
Greenville police say these men stole at least 33 checks from that business.
One of the suspects allegedly used a fake Arizona driver's license along with the fake check. Officials have reason to believe all men provided fake information as well, to receive cash.
The suspects may have passed fraudulent checks in Jacksonville on another business account.
Investigators have not be able to develop leads on this case. Anyone with information is asked to call Greenville Police, (252)-329-4354 or Crime Stoppers, (252)-758-7777.

Royals Lead Parade to Celebrate Queen's Birthday (Photos)
Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, had official duties in the parade, donning the same red Irish Guard uniform he wore to his Westminster Abbey wedding less than two months ago. The popular prince -- along with dad Prince Charles -- rode on horseback, saluting the Queen, for the festivities marking her 85th birthday.
The monarch's birthday is actually in April, but the outdoor celebration is traditionally scheduled for summertime when the weather is better. Next year, thousands in London will crowd the streets for an even bigger party when the Queen's "Diamond Jubilee" will mark her 60 years on the throne.
See more Trooping the Colour photos after the jump, including Kate's carriage ride with Camilla, and royals of all ages stepping onto the balcony of Buckingham Palace for a family photo.

- Saturday 11 JuneBy SandRRanch
I have noticed how the 'witch' known as Camilla seems to always be placing herself near Kate when in the public's eye. I hope Kate soon begans to put distance between herself and that horriable woman!
Camilla wants to make it look like she is helping the newest royal adjust but all she is really doing is using her in a feeble attempt to ingratiate herself with the public.
Camilla is hated by the majority of the people, in not just the UK, but the world and she knows it. They remember what she and Charles did to Diana!
Kate, we understand how you are being polite and trying hard to not do anything that will make you, William, and even your new inlaws, look bad. Just do not trust for one second, or let Camilla use you for her own selfish means!
William, the people love you and expect you to protect your lovely wife from the royals...especially Camilla!!!!!

Andrew looks ticked off and angry in these photos. Seems nowadays when I see pictures of him he always looks like that. Probably has a lot to do with the antics of his former wife.

Well, you've got that wrong! How about George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Eisenhower, Patton, etc. Before you criticize, you should really look it your facts. We, Americans, have a great history which started out by throwing the Tories out of our country and sending them back to England. The monarchy is all fine for some, but we prefer our elected officials. At least we the option that we can toss them to the curb if they don't behave appropriately. You really can't get rid of a royal. They always have their title for life.

So, we are around to help with local activities and information and make sure you get the most out of your vacation! We have two dogs that live with us and play in the yard, but are not allowed in the log home.
This house provides a very comfortable home-away-from home while you're traveling, with all the amenities. The full kitchen is there for your use, there are large common areas - a huge slate fireplace surrounded by leather couches, TV / VCR / DVD / High speed internet computer / Wi-Fi / Stereo, a grill and hot tub on the large front deck, a small covered back deck, etc. The house is modern and very clean, but cozy and comfortable. End your day relaxing in the hot tub or grilling out your fresh catch, while enjoying the view of Mt. Alice from the deck.
Keywords: log, family, mountain view, large, clean
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
About The Owner
We've been in Seward since 2002, and truly enjoy sharing the wonders of the area with our visitors. We'd love to meet you, and have you stay at our house.

Matt Flynn: 'No regrets'
Flynn has spent the year as Seattle's back-up quarterback, and on Thursday he was asked about both his decision to sign with Seattle and his feelings about this season.
Q: How hard was that decision this offseason? Because the Dolphins were the other team you visited.
Flynn: "I kind of took it openly. I wouldn't say it was hard, but I wouldn't say it was easy. I kind of took it with an open mind. I didn't want to lean one way or the other before I looked into it. I just wanted to get my feel for what I thought would be the best spot."
Q: How do you feel about the decision now with everything that's transpired?
Flynn: "I try to have the motto of live life with no regrets. I wouldn't take anything back. I look back at the things that I looked at and the personal things that I decided on, and I wouldn't take anything back. I don't have any regrets about it, but it was a tough decision for sure."
Q: How tough has it been going through this season? Obviously, your expectations were different coming into the year.
Flynn: "It has been extremely tough, definitely. But I've tried to take in every day and try to better myself as a player, better myself as a quarterback and try to improve on the things I can improve. That's really the only way you can take it, and just try to be the best teammate you can be, try to, like I said, better myself in the ways that I can, that are possible."
Q: There's probably no delicate way to ask this, but did everything that was laid out for you by Seattle come true? Was there any sort of bait-and-switch?
Flynn: No, they told me I would be coming in and competing.

8 weeks, count 'em ...
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 04-01-2003 - 2:23pm
I am crying less. I seem to have turned a corner. Only a week ago I was idealizing the MM like you wouldn't believe, wishing that he would return, begging him to leave his wife and return to me (when alone, in the privacy of my own home).
Today I'm feeling like, "What? Why would I want him? Why would I want someone who treated me so badly? Who couldn't decide if he wanted me or someone else?"
I know that I deserve someone who wants me and only me, and I know this is true for all you single ladies too.
For all of you who are new to the board, and new to NC, let me tell you that it does work. It doesn't work right away. You have to stick with it. You have to go through the crying, the withdrawal, the pain, the anger, the hatred, the helplessness, the hopelessness. But these feelings do pass eventually. And you will feel better. I promise.
So thanks to all of you who have been here for me. I started posting back in November and I don't think I could have left him and stopped contact if it weren't for this board.
|Tue, 04-01-2003 - 3:26pm
I'm glad the NC worked for you... wish I could get NC with my XMM, but obviously I'm not willing to make the sacrifices it would take to do so...
|Tue, 04-01-2003 - 3:38pm
Keep it up and never go back...imagine what you will feel at 16 weeks (wink)
A pat on the back for you!!
|Tue, 04-01-2003 - 5:23pm
|Wed, 04-02-2003 - 8:25am
I truly hope that you continue with your healing and that each day gets better for you. So glad to hear you are doing well. And you are right! Why would we even WANT someone who seems comfortable with having their life so screwed up??? For me, the best attitude I could take is that I will pray for him and his family because he needs it and go about my own business.
Again, congrats!
|Thu, 04-03-2003 - 8:41am
but at times i have the "real" thoughts of how could i be with someone who treated me SECOND and thought it was OK. yea... we do deserve better and i imagine you were thinking as i did at times that "oh well, he is better than not having NO-ONE at all." you are right how could i want a man like that!
keep the strength and courage and i will work every single day on mine.
congratulations to you.......rain........

With the two kayaks that come along with the cottage, one can kayak over to Castine Village, or deep in to the Bagaduce River.

There is a screened porch which overlooks the water. The cottage is surrounded by a large acreage of pasture with wooded boundaries, with ample shorefront on Lords Cove, where waters of the Bagaduce River and Castine Harbor merge.

Come September, the United Nations is set to vote on whether to recognize a Palestinian State.
The UN Charter stipulates that:
"Membership in the United nations is open to all other peace-loving states which accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the judgment of the Organization, are able and willing to carry out these obligations."
Hamas are partners in the government of the candidate "State of Palestine". The Hamas Charter sets out the ideology and policies of this organization.
Here are some excerpts from the UN Charter along with selections from the Hamas Charter*. The texts speak for themselves:
From the Preamble to the Charter:

Man's body recovered near Fore River Bridge in Weymouth
Updated On: Jun 21 2013 07:49:58 AM EDT
Weymouth police said there were no signs of foul play in the death of a man whose body was recovered from the water near the Fore River Bridge on Thursday night.
Capt. Richard Fuller told the Patriot Ledger that police received a call shortly after 8 p.m. for a report of a body in the water in a small cove off the end of Saunders Avenue. Two officers in a harbormaster's boat recovered the man's body from the water.
Fuller said the identity of the middle-aged man was not being released pending notification of his family. There were no obvious signs of foul play.
An autopsy would be performed on the body.

Look under the surface of Cross Sound, south of Glacier Bay National Park, and you'll find Facebook. Google is there, too, as is the picture of the cat you just posted on Instagram.

Vanity Fair Oscar Party: The Fab Four

I wanted to share this picture with you because of its sheer cuteness. Rarely do you see celebs looking genuinely chummy. Here Hollywood heavyweights Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Mary J. Blige and Oprah look like simple girls hanging out - what a delight!
