Test System & Test Results
TweakTown uses a different method for testing CPU heatsinks which allows for an even playing field across all product tests. We feel that by using the same ambient temperature and strict lab-like testing procedures we are able to accurately compare one product to another. More information on our testing procedure can be found in the T.E.C.C. article here.
While the TRUE Black and the Thor's Hammer both beat out the Zalman, the Xigmatek isn't out ahead by much over the CNPS10X Extreme. I can tell you by feel alone, the fan equipped on the Zalman isn't as powerful as the Yate Loon's I tested the Hammer with. This makes me think the CNPS10X is more efficient and could match or beat the Hammer with a fan swap. Not too shabby in my opinion!
The noise level testing comes out about average for a 120mm fan. There is one thing I need to mention. If its noise that makes you pass on the purchase the CNPS10X, there is soon to be a "silent" model of this cooler to be released.

Homeworld: Raider Retreat
this wiki
Homeworld: Raider Retreat was a promotional version of Homeworld, added with the pre-order version of Homeworld: Cataclysm. The game was also known as Homeworld OEM or less commonly as Homeworld v. 1.51. It was released on an additional CD, and was a stand-alone version of Homeworld. Main features included an unlimited Multiplayer, a Skirmish vs CPU and Tutorial missions. Also, the game contained the first 4 missions of the Homeworld campaign and an additional fifth mission called Deep Space - Turanic Raider Planetoid, which was not included in the final version of the game.
[show]Mission ListEdit
- Kharak System
- Outskirts of Kharak System
- Return to Kharak
- Great Wastelands
- Deep Space - Turanic Raider Planetoid
The game contains the first four single-player missions from the full release of Homeworld, but replaces mission five with the new mission.
The end of Mission 4 is altered, having Fleet Intelligence announce that they have tracked the Turanic Raiders' carrier to a small planetoid within the Great Wastelands.
In this mission, the Mothership Fleet hyperspaces into the area, and detects two Raider carriers retreating towards the planetoids' defense network.
Both the carriers and the escort fleets are to be destroyed before they reach the defenses.
After the destruction of the carriers, Fleet Intelligence announces their return to their original objective: The hunt for the enemy fleet that destroyed Kharak.
Reasons for ExclusionEdit
Sources indicate several reasons why the mission was cut from the final release version.
- The developers felt that 16 missions was adequate.
- It was felt that the mission was a detraction from the main feel of the game. (The Exiles were searching for their Homeworld, not hunting pirates)
- Quality control.
These reasons are conjecture. The author of this section cannot guarantee accuracy until further research.
It is unlikely that an original CD version is available for sale, and has not been re-released in recent years. It can however be downloaded legally, and does not require the full version of Homeworld to play.

4 And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. | 4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim and the Rodanim. |
5 By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations. | 5 (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.) |
6 And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and Canaan. | 6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put and Canaan. |

9 he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, `As Nimrod the hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.' | 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD; that is why it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD." |
10 And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar; | 10 The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Erech, Akkad and Calneh, in Shinar. |
11 from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah, | 11 From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah |

We were supposed to go out last night, but my friend Sienna got sick and Domenico was going to be late getting back from Tuscany, so plans changed and we decided to just stay home. But it was Friday night, and to make things a little more festive I decided to walk over to Domus Birrae to pick up a bottle of something special.
Domus Birrae is Rome's best craft beer shop. Lucky for me, it's basically right around the corner. I love this place, not just for it's wealth of beers, but because it allows me to veer out of my comfort zone. I'm no stranger to craft beers, but I tend to keep going back to what I know and love. If left to my own devices I'll walk out with Balladin's Isaac, Maltus Faber's Ambrata or my new obsession Birraficcio Rurale's Seta.
But the boys at Domus are always happy to steer me in new directions. They often invite the brewers themselves to come hold tastings, and that's how I came to discover Valter Loverier, and his grape and fruit based beers.
Last night I mentioned that I was going to be cooking sausages. "Something bitter then, to offset the fattiness." Ok. So I walked out with a big bottle of Birra del Borgo's My Antonia. (I also bought 4 bottles of Seta, but that's just to have around, just in case).
Birra del Borgo, along with Balladin, is one of Italy's top brewers and the brewmaster, Leonardo di Vincenzo, is one of the guys behind the soon to open beer garden atop Eataly in NY. My Antonia was the result of a collaboration between Birra del Borgo's Di Vincenzo and Doghead brewer Sam Calagione (who is also involved with Eataly). They wanted to work on something together and decided on a continually hopped imperial pils. The amount and continual addition of hops make this an incredibly floral beer, but with a real strong bitter- yet elegant – finish.
In other words, perfect for pairing with sausages and peppers. Which got me thinking. I usually add a cup of white wine near the end of this dish, but why not use a glass of My Antonia? I figured the bitter edge would be just right to offset the plump fatty sausage and slightly sweet peppers. And I was right, it was perfect.
I'm not sure how easy it is to find My Antonia in the States. Dogshead distributes it too. But if you can't find it, don't worry. Any pils will do – at least for the cooking part, of course. As far as the drinking, My Antonia was pretty great.
Sausage and Peppers, with My Antonia
6 sweet Italian sausages
2 large red bell peppers
1 large green bell pepper
2 red onions
red pepper
1 cup My Antonia Pils
Cut the sausage into 3/4 inch slices. Brown in a pan (not non-stick) large enough to hold everything later. Let them brown really well, about 10 minutes at medium high heat. Don't worry if bits stick to the pan, that's the point.
Take the sausage out with a slotted spoon, leaving behind the fat. Put sausage aside.
Add onions, sliced 1/4 inch, to pan. Stir them, scraping up the bits of browned sausage. Add red pepper and salt to taste. As the onions wilt, they will give up their liquid, which will help you deglaze.
After about 8 minutes, add the peppers, cut into 1/2 strips. Keep stirring every so often, until the peppers get soft and are almost cooked through.
Add the peppers back to the pan and cover. Let cook at low simmer for another 15 minutes.
Take cover off, raise heat and add the pils. Let it bubble away, and serve.
This would be perfect with polenta, but I was lazy and so just picked up some bread from Tricolore.

Dogs' dental problems often ignored by owners
80% of dogs that are over three years old have dental problems. However, 90% of dog owners are unaware of this problem that threatens the wellbeing of their pet. That's why the UPV, the Professional Union of Veterinarians and Pedigree® join forces once again in order to focus on the importance of good dental hygiene, a correct follow-up and the necessity of visiting the veterinarian once a year. The action starts on the 1st of March and is the kick-off of the Dental Hygiene Month.
Dr. Alexandre Bongartz is a veterinarian and president of the SAVAB (section 2 of the Professional Union of Veterinarians), the French-speaking association of veterinarians specialized in pets. He explains: "Dental problems with dogs are neither rare nor harmless. You can really compare it to the dental issues of human beings. Day after day, we need to take care of the health and hygiene of our teeth by brushing them every day and ideally after every meal. And each year, we need to pay a visit to our dentist for a check-up and scaling of teeth or any other treatment. And the same should go for dogs! An annual check-up is a must, especially for smaller races, in combination with dental hygiene throughout the year: brushing teeth and specific care should be a routine. And still, we see in our practice and in the results from various studies, that this is far from being the case."
Very few pet owners are aware of the dental problems of their dog (less than 10%). But more than one Belgian in two says bad breath is one of the main problems of their loyal companion. It is interesting to see those two facts are often related. According to Doctor Alexandre Bongartz: "The consequences of a lack in treatment of caries and scale can be much more serious than just bad breath: inflammation of the gums, the loosening and loss of teeth, abscesses and infections of the jaw and sinuses, rhinitis and even damage to vital organs such as the heart or kidneys."
In order to avoid this type of consequences and to prevent it from happening, it is important to stress the importance of good oral hygiene.
That's why Pedigree® organizes for the 7th consecutive year the Dental Hygiene Month. March will be dedicated to dental prevention: dog owners are invited to have the teeth of their dog checked at their vet. It is also the ideal moment to attract attention to dental problems and gum problems.
This awareness campaign is organized in collaboration with the UPV (the Professional Union of Veterinarians).
Doctor Alexandre Bongartz, president of the SAVAB, concludes: "In short, if you want to make sure your dog has the right dental hygiene, you need to go to your vet at least once a year. He or she will decide whether scaling or any other treatment is necessary. Once the treatment has been done, you can take care of your dog's teeth by brushing them daily with an adapted toothbrush, toothpaste without fluorine or regular dental snacks."
This campaign will get the massive support of TV ads, print adverts and activation material in the point-of-sale and at practices of veterinarians.

Bridging programs for internationally educated nurses in Ontario
0Oct 5, '09 by rxzza_louizzeHi!
I would like to know, how long will it take to finish the bridging program for nurses in Ontario. Especially for those who had their Bachelors degree in Nursing in the Philippines. Will it also depend on your years of experience?
Im a registered nurse from the Philippines and is currently working here in Abu DHabi as an ER Nurse. Im planning to migrate to Canada by next year, in Ontario to be exact. That's why I'm searching for information that will help me to be able to find work faster.
Thank you, your info's will help me a lot. God Bless -
1Oct 5, '09 by rogue2578After your assessment from CNO, they will determine if you will still have to do the bridging program.
Your nursing experience maybe sufficient to fill in the baccaluarette equivalency and may not have to do the bridging program.
But if fell short , you will be given a letter of direction.A bridging program depends on the schools accredited by CNO . They have 8 months maximum duration, you can visit their websites.

0Oct 5, '09 by rxzza_louizzerogue,
thanks for the info.. I'm still waiting for my assessment letter from CNO. I've emailed them a number of times already, its already 6 months waiting. According to their email last aug. 22: "A request has been sent to have your assessor remail the assessment letter."
hope I will not do the bridging program, yet I'm preparing myself if it happens. Also I think I have to take the IELTS again because my writing is only 6.0 , (listening-8, reading-7.5, speaking 7). How I wish I would just have to repeat writing only. But sad to know that its not the case, i have to take IELTS all over again to have at least have a minimum band score of 6.5 on all subjects.
for all nurses out there, please share some ideas and suggestions regarding my situation. your opinions are highly appreciated.
thanks a lot and Godbless -
0Oct 5, '09 by rogue2578rxzza_louizze,
After 6 months of waiting , I think its best to call them. Their service agents will able to tell your actual assessment. The determination for an eligibility is only up to 12 weeks maximum according to CNO. And that fact that your assessment have been requested for a re-mail, you may already have your answer long before you started the thread.
I have been assessed by CNO and it only took 3 months. Not to mention my persistent phone calls on a twice a week basis, I got my answer a little head of schedule.
Good luck.. -
0Oct 9, '09 by 4vidaHi! Rogue,
I am a registered nurse in the Phil. with a six months experience in OR and ER. I will be going to Alberta for a different line of job. Can I register as a nurse there while doing my another job? I already got the required ietls score. What are other documents needed?
thanks so much in advance. God bless you -
0Oct 9, '09 by Fiona59Have you read any of the thread in the Cdn. Forum? Alberta has a hiring freeze on nurses. Local new grads can't find jobs. If you are coming on a work visa, you are tied to that job.
For those talking about Ontario, their economy is a mess and several posters are talking about the lack of jobs for local nurses. -

GMC Envoy Prices Paid and Buying Experience
misterep Posts: 52Car_man ,
Thank you for all you do to save us from the dreaded card dealers.
I have been shopping for four weeks...although not every week and have come to the following deal. I am eligible for GM employee pricing.
2006 GMC Envoy Denali 4WD
Negotiated price $34,340
Rebates and Cash back total $6,000
(thisis 3,500 rebate + 1,000 employee bonus cash + new 1,500 bonus cash)
I am also planning to put $2,000 down into the deal
I want to lease for 36 months at 12.000 miles per year
I live in Indiana and pay the 6% sales tax on the amount of the vehicle used.
What should I be paying? My calculations tell me $220 per month using 5% money rate.
Also....this is a very simple lease guide calculator I found. Hope it helps you and your readers.
Thanks in advance... -

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515You're right, dgruenberg. I always work up zero down leases for community members because it is in their best interest not to make any sort of capitalized cost reduction when leasing. You were smart to double check the lease payment that you were quoted, otherwise you would have ended up paying a lot more than you should have for this truck because the dealer "forgot" to give you a discount on it. Enjoy your new truck .

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi teamdry. I personally feel as though it is in your best interest to roll the sales tax for your leased vehicle into your monthly payment. By doing so, you only have to pay 4.9% interest on it and you eliminate the risk of losing the tax that you paid if your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515You're welcome oakridge067. You definitely don't do much driving. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 GMC Envoy SLE with an MSRP of $31,185 and a selling price of $29,493.57 through GMAC right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $398. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be $382.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515You're welcome, misterep. You don't have anything to fear if you are eligible for General Motors' Employee Purchase Program. You are going to get a good deal on the truck that you want without having to haggle. Unfortunately, the cash incentives that you mentioned in your post are not compatible with GMAC's special lease program. If you want to lease this truck through GMAC, the only one that you can take advantage off is the $1,000 employee bonus cash. I will work up a lease on this truck based upon a capitalized cost of $33,340, which is the selling price that you were quoted minus the $1,000 bonus. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 GMC Envoy Denali with an MSRP of $37,840 and a capitalized cost of $33,340 through GMAC right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $410.

sherm4 Posts: 1Went to GMC dealer last night. Negotiated a deal, just waiting to hear back from their financing guy. Please let me know if I did ok, or if I am way off. Got an 2006 Envoy XL SLE w/ leather seats. Price is $31,200 with nothing due at signing (taxes/title wrapped in to loan) Dealer told me I had to choose between $4000 rebate or 5.9% financing. I chose the 5.9% financing. (monthly payments for 72 months at $536) Please let me know if you need any other info to help me determine if I have a good or bad deal here. Thanx!
misterep Posts: 52(Detroit) - APU: GM executives were devastated Tuesday to learn of plummeting sales of their popular SUV - Envoy. 'These figures indicate a radical change in the go-to-market strategy is needed' said an unnamed exec, 'Apparently we had inflated the residual value in our leases to prop up sales in the previous quarter.'
I think 'go-to-market strategy' is code for massive rebates. -

misterep Posts: 52I had inquired about an 06 Envoy Denali...
The 2006 models are awful!!! I did do a 2007 lease for you, It is an slt with navigation loaded msrp is 39,700 I am quoting lease payment for a 24@12> with 2,000.00 down GMS (24@12> taxes included are 328.02) for a (36@12> taxes included are 344.14) This is better than what I can do for any Envoy 2006 model. and it is current year. -
cbrun13 Posts: 3I hope he meant the price offered?! If he meant the quality of the car or features then he is ripping on the 07 as well since they barely changed anything....
SLT with navigation is not a Denaly but a lower version.
What rates is he offering you on a 07 Denaly with navigation? I have an 06 Denaly and I am very happy with it. I had turned in an 04 Envoy to get the Denaly...The Denaly rides a lot better, feels much more responsive on the accel., is quieter, and the Bose sound system is phenomenal. I feel its really a different car. The wheels and other small outside changes are just icing on the cake.
I lease my Denaly 06
27 months,
0 down
4.9% rate
GM Employee discount. -

creasy1 Posts: 3I apologize if i am posting this in the wrong place. Today i looked at 2006 envoy xl that was fully loaded. I talked the salesman down to $30,968. When i asked him to run the lease numbers, his finance guy quoted me a residual value of 38%. The msrp on the car was $36,800 and the total residual value came to $13,984. The lease was a 3 year lease for 36,000 miles. In the end he gave me monthly payments of 674.69 (with nothing down). My questions is, how can this residual value be even close to correct? Confirm for me that this guy was trying to rip me off? and can someone help me with what the correct residual value is?
it was a 4wd 2006 Envoy XL.
Thank you in advance for any feedback. -
knackll Posts: 12Car Man,
I'm thinking about leasing a new 2007 Envoy Denali w/MSRP of 40240. Do you know what the current incentives are on the vehicle and what kind of reasonabe cap cost I can expect from a dealer today (assuming the $40240 msrp)? Could you also be so kind as to provide me with the lease rate which I'm thinking to be 4.9% and the residual value on a 36mnth 12K (60%) & 15K (58%) lease. The numbers I come up with using a cap cost of $35240 = $429.00 mnth pretax (36mnth 12k 60% resid). Is this acceptable or am I far off.
Thanks in advance!!

threader Posts: 1Must be true that GMC are desperate for Sales.
I just bought a new 2006 Envoy SLT for $10550 off MSRP.
Was $4000 + $4000 GMC Discounts(Double red Tags??) and $2550 off Dealer Sale.
Wow even if the resale value sucks a fully loaded SLT for $24282 out the door is the bargain (tax +tags included)
Was an Ad car in Southern California. -

knackll Posts: 12misterep-I was quoted by the dealer the other day a 58% residual on 36/12 lease with a 8% rate on this Denaili Envoy. I never have seen such a high rate. I live in the Cleveland Oh. area. They tell me it's the only rate GMAC has out right now and can not do better. Do you think I'm expecting too much of a cap cost reduction of $4500 before rebates & incentive?
Thanks again!!

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515No problem, mwinters. GM's lease program on the 2007 GMC Envoy is not very attractive right now, regardless of what term one goes with. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 48 month lease of a 2007 GMC Envoy with 15,000 miles per year are 7.75% and 48%.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hello creasy1. Wow, you were quoted a residual value of 38% on this truck. I thought that the 2007 Envoy's lease program was bad. Yikes. I don't believe that GMAC is offering leases on 2006 models any longer, so the lease that you were quoted must be through an independent bank. With such a low residual value, you would probably be better off financing or paying cash for the '06 Envoy that you're interested in. If you really want to lease, you probably would be better off going with an '07 model. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease with 12,000 miles per year are 7.75% and 58%, respectively.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi knackll. GM's lease cash incentives for the 2007 GMC Envoy vary by region. If you tell me what state you are in I would be happy to tell you what cash incentives are available on this model in your area. As far as how much you should pay for this truck goes, I suspect that you should be able to get one for a couple hundred dollars over invoice minus any available incentives. For additional feedback on how much you should pay, make sure to stop by the following discussion: "Chevy Trailblazer/GMC Envoy/Olds Bravada: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".
Unfortunately, this truck's current lease program is much worse than you were expecting. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 GMC Envoy Denali with 15,000 miles per year are 7.75% and 55%, respectively. Its 12,000 mile per year residual value for this term is 3% higher.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Greetings klanger83. I would be happy to give you an idea of what sort of lease payment to expect to pay on this truck right now. In order for me to do so I need you to provide me with the full MSRP and approximate selling price of the exact model that you want. Let me know and I'll crunch some numbers for you.

theericharris1 Posts: 13Hi gang,
I am looking for the best possible 36 month lease on a SUV. I see there is a $4750 cash rebate on all 2006 Envoys.
Is GM still leasing 2006 models? There is a decent number of these cars on the lots and I'm hoping I could get a good lease deal. Our main issue is we are $4,000 upside down on a tradein, so most of the rebate will go towards the payoff.
Could someone give me the current residual and factor for a 2wd Envoy SLE MSRP $29,780? Looking for 36 months/12k miles.
Is there a website with every every manufacture's lease figures? Just so frustrating going to the car dealership, since they never fork over this information

RailCats Weekly: Mike Massaro a manager in the making
By Michael Osipoff firstname.lastname@example.com or 713-2485 June 15, 2013 11:38PM
Gary's Mike Massaro follows through on a two run triple in the first inning against Lincoln Thursday evening at the Steel Yard in Gary. | Jeffrey D. Nicholls~Sun-Times Media
Updated: July 17, 2013 7:21AM
GARY — With Mike Massaro and the RailCats in Amarillo last week, a fellow Colorado State University-Pueblo assistant coach of the outfielder stopped with his 15-and-under team on the way to a tournament in Wichita Falls, Texas.
The kids hung out with Massaro, took batting practice and shagged fly balls, then watched about five innings of that Wednesday game, before getting back on the road to continue their trip.
"He (Brian Falsetto) texted me when he saw were going to be in Amarillo," said Massaro, whose father, Joe, also had independently made the drive of some five hours, covering 300-plus miles, from their hometown. "I'm glad we were able to hook that up. It was fun."
RailCats manager Greg Tagert had a broader perspective.
"Just to see him interact, to see the relationship between him and the coaches and the kids, you could see he's outstanding at it," Tagert said. "I have no doubt he could be a coach — a head coach — at the collegiate level, or a coach in an organization."
Massaro has been preparing for such a future, with aspirations to run his own college program or to coach in the professional ranks. The 29-year-old hasn't come to that point quite yet, in the process of putting together yet another fantastic season for the RailCats. He reached Triple-A in the Oakland Athletics organization in 2008, with Tagert — who says, "In my mind, he's the best player in the league (American Association)" — on any number of occasions stating that Massaro is, and has been, capable of playing in the major leagues.
But before last season, in the spring, Massaro finished the coursework necessary for his degree from CSU-Pueblo in exercise science and health promotion (EXHP), with an emphasis on kindergarten through 12th grade. And after last season, in the fall, he did his student teaching in physical education and health at Heaton Middle School — where he had attended — to complete the process.
"I finally got it done, something I can be proud of," said Massaro, selected by the A's in the 13th round of the 2005 draft after his junior year at Division II CSU-Pueblo, with the not-unusual practice of the contract providing for the franchise to pay for him to finish his undergraduate education.
Leading into this season, Massaro — who has an eye on beginning work on his master's degree in a year or two — did substitute teaching at both Heaton and Pueblo East High School, also his alma mater.
And he has coaching experience in both baseball and basketball.
Massaro has been an assistant at CSU-Pueblo for several seasons, expanding his responsibilities each season, including coaching third base for the last three. He has been coaching basketball at Pueblo East for close to a decade, beginning as the freshman coach before moving up to take over the JV team and become a varsity assistant. He recounts with pride Pueblo East's 2010 run to the Class 4A (Colorado's second-largest classification) state championship game, where it lost in overtime. He still curses (about) this past season's team's premature exit in the "Sweet 16" — "worst shooting percentage of the season," he says as he shakes his head — to end with a 20-3 record, before quickly adding the "core group" will be returning as seniors next season and he's "expecting big things."
Massaro has continued to do big things for the RailCats, currently the longest-tenured member of the team in his fifth season, after spending four in the A's organization. He is Gary's career leader in batting average, and this season — barring anything unforeseen — will become the franchise's career leader in hits and runs scored. Massaro also is the RailCats' all-time leader in triples (he also holds American Association records for triples in a career and a season), and the team's single-season leader in hits, runs, triples, sacrifice flies, total bases and at-bats. The right fielder has played all three outfield positions for the RailCats and throughout his career, above-average at each of them.
"With him and Adam (Klein), we're fortunate to have two of the most dynamic players in the league," Tagert said. "Unfortunately, the one thing that still surprises me to this day, is that they're still with us; selfishly, that's great for the RailCats and for me. But I've watched a lot of major league games and I think have a pretty good idea about talent, and there's no doubt in my mind that both guys could be in the big leagues today — and I only say that about a handful of guys I've managed over the years, it's a short list of guys that I am absolutely sure about. That's not to say he (Massaro) could be starting in right field for the White Sox, but I've seen a lot of fourth and fifth outfielders over the years that he's as good or better than."
Tagert's fondness for Massaro extends off the field, as well.
"There's so much more to him than just the baseball player; he's so good and he plays with an edge, he has his own intensity, he's hard on himself — sometimes too much so," he said. "But he's able to do what some other players can't do, and that's channel some of that frustration in a way that helps him become more successful. So many guys it affects in an adverse way.
"He has that quiet demeanor about everything he does. Again, there's a certain edge there and intensity level, but that's not because he's yelling and screaming in the dugout — you don't see any of that. He just has that in-the-dugout presence that he doesn't have to scream at a teammate, but just a word will do it. He just helps me — especially after some of the performances we've had the last week or so, when the manager is getting extremely upset with the situation, it's great to have a guy like that around because he can be a little bit of a calming influence for the players. As much as Mike wants to win here — how the RailCats do is very important to him — he understands what we're trying to accomplish, too, introducing some of the younger players. He's really taken on that role. I'm sure his coaching and teaching has helped him with that."

A friend of the dead woman tells Westword that she was in her late thirties, with two children, and had been struggling with limited services and inadequate medication for years. "She would never complain," the friend says. "She was afraid that they'd take away what few services they did provide."
Retaliation is a genuine fear among the mentally ill, explains Julie Reiskin, executive director of the Colorado Cross Disability Coalition. "They've dumped a lot of people into assisted living without any standards of quality control," she says. "The state was told to fix these problems back in 2002, but nothing has changed. What I see are people getting kicked out of mental-health services because of their behavior, which seems kind of counterintuitive. People who are 'difficult' aren't going to get mental-health services at all."
Lacey Berumen, executive director of the Colorado chapter of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, has tried to raise issues about the audit with state lawmakers since its release last fall, but she, too, sees little change in the situation. "If this were any other population, there would be outrage, and the governor would appoint a task force," she says. "But nobody cares about these people — so we're filling our jails with them."
Vernon Martinez regards his childhood friend Thomas Espinoza as a lost kid brother. The boys grew up directly across the street from each other on West Nevada Place in the Athmar Park neighborhood. They were distantly related, and their mothers were tight for years. And in 1978, when Thomas was seven and Vernon was ten, the two of them literally went through fire together.
"He was a good kid," says Martinez. "Daring, sure. But that was because of his upbringing."
Neighbors say Espinoza's father liked to shoot off guns in the house. His mother, who died last winter, told police that her husband was a violent man who on occasion held a gun to her head. The couple separated when Thomas was still in grade school. By that point, he later told doctors at the state hospital, he'd already been sexually molested by a male cousin.
One spring day, Thomas and Vernon went over to another boy's house to inspect a go-kart. They took an empty antifreeze jug to a service station on Alameda and bought sixty cents' worth of gas. In a small laundry room at the back of the house, Vernon poured gas into the quarter-midget racer, spilling fuel on newspapers the other boys had put down.
"I didn't have a sense of the danger," Martinez says now. "I was telling them to hold papers because it was getting all over the place. I knew the water heater was there, but I didn't think about it having a pilot light."
The first explosion sent Vernon running through the house with his hair on fire. The second blew up the antifreeze jug and the go-kart. Surrounded by flames and smoke, Thomas kicked out a window. The other boy tossed him through the opening, then climbed out himself. Thomas apparently hit his head on the window and on a rock outside. The back of the house and the go-cart were a total loss.
Espinoza spent a few days in the hospital with first- and second-degree burns on his hands, face and back. At his murder trial last month, questioning witnesses on the stand, he kept returning to the thirty-year-old event as if it explained everything — almost as if the service station that sold a minor gasoline in an unsuitable container should be on trial, not him. Prosecutors responded by accusing him of grossly exaggerating the extent of his physical injuries and the long-term effects of any trauma he endured. Still, his older sisters say that Thomas was a changed boy after the fire — aloof, cold, suspicious, refusing to be touched.
His parents' marriage broke up that same year. Espinoza stayed with his father for a few years, then went to Oakland, California, to live with his mother. Conflicts with his mother's boyfriend (the finger-lopping incident) and gang-related fights at school followed. He struggled academically and didn't graduate. Instead, he drifted back to Denver in his late teens, fathered a baby girl, split from the mother and sank into drugs, binge-drinking and homelessness.
He was on the streets most of the time from 1988 until the late 1990s and was arrested several times for shoplifting, assault, trespassing, burglary and disturbing the peace. Espinoza would couch-surf, Martinez says, but he also went through periods when he stayed away from people. When drunk, he would sometimes talk about wanting to "fuck somebody up" and go looking for bar fights.
Sometimes Espinoza said there were voices telling him to do things, but Martinez didn't know what to make of that. "I don't know if it was because he was smoking coke or what," he says. At other times Espinoza seemed convinced that he could get rid of the demons in his head by staying sober and compulsively working out.
During his late teens, he showed up at Denver General's emergency room a few times, complaining of blackouts and memory loss; he also had superficial, self-inflicted slashes on his arms. Medical staff noted a family history of epilepsy and suspected a possible seizure disorder. He was back in the ER again repeatedly in his mid-twenties, usually after a fight. In addition to his lacerations and possible head injuries, doctors were alarmed by his rambling, paranoid comments about wanting to kill various people.

Pure polypyrrole sample was synthesized by chemical oxidation method using NaOH as reducing agent in aqueous HCl medium. The polypyrrole pellet sample was then annealed at 200 °C for 4 hrs. The amorphous nature of both annealed and as‐ prepared polypyrrole samples was confirmed by XRD. FTIR spectra of both samples were taken, which indicate the significant change in annealed sample compared to as prepared sample. Temperature dependence of effective thermal conductivity of both samples ( ) was studied by Transient plane source (TPS) technique. The effective thermal conductivity obtained for & exhibits a variation with temperature and a peak was observed for the two samples at 150 °C & 120 °C with a value 0.17 W/mK & 0.18 W/mK respectively. The shift of thermal conductivity peak of annealed sample towards the lower temperature side is explained on the basis of removal of voids and defects on annealing. The absorption spectra of these samples were recorded by USB‐2000 spectrophotometer at room temperature in the wavelength range 300–800 nm. From the analysis of absorption spectra, optical band gap of & were determined. It was found that the values of optical band gap for sample & are 2.39 eV&2.24 eV respectively.

SEATTLE ---One of the nations largest sweepstakes operators, American Family Publishers, which uses Ed McMahon and Dick Clark as its spokespersons, has agreed to pay Washington and 31 other states $1.25 million and stop the use of illegal promotions tactics.
"There's a line between hype to sell a product and deception," said Attorney General Christine Gregoire. "This company crossed over that line with their promotion suggesting consumers were one of only two recipients in Washington with the winning numbers."
One 88-year-old man from California who received a notice claiming "You're our newest $11 million winner" reportedly flew across the country to Florida to claim his prize. He was not a winner.
American Family Publishers, a New Jersey-based company and subsidiary of Time, Inc., blankets the country with sweepstakes entries to promote its magazine subscription offers.
Under the agreement, American Family Publishers will be prohibited from:
Washington will receive $50,000 as part of the settlement. Over 190 consumers have complained about the company to the Attorney General's office in the last five years, with 50 of those complaints being received this year.
The other states entering agreements with the company include: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
Consumers who want to file a complaint should contact the Attorney General's Office at 1-800-551-4636, (1-800-833-6384 for the hearing impaired), or visit the web site at www.atg.wa.gov.
