U.S. Air Force photo by Roland Balik A U.S. Army carry team transfers the remains of Army 1st Lt. Robert "Robby" F. Welch III, of Wylie, at Dover Air Force Base in Del., April 5. The flags at Wylie municipal buildings and Wylie ISD facilities will be lowered two half mast Sunday, April 10, in honor of 1st Lt. Robert "Robby" F. Welch III, a 2003 Wylie High School graduate killed in Afghanistan last week.
Typically only the president of the United States or the governor of a state can order the lowering of flags. Wylie will be allowed to lower the flags in recognition of Welch's sacrifice after Texas Gov. Rick Perry granted a special request made by Mayor Eric Hogue.
"Wylie has lost one of our own, for the first time since the Vietnam war, and I felt it was important for our community to honor Lt. Welch for his service to our country," Hogue said. "I contacted Gov. Perry's office, and the governor gave me permission to order the flags be flown at half-staff. He approved this measure for Wylie and Wylie ISD. April 7 his executive clerk also sent me the governor's approval in writing, to insure we would have not issues with lowering the flags."
The flags will be lowered Sunday, April 10, and remain at half staff for seven days.
"I would also encourage all of our businesses to lower their flags," Hogue said. "The death is Lt. Welch is such a loss for his family, our country and our city. I would ask that we all keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers."
At 2 p.m. Sunday, April 10, there will be a moment of remembrance and celebration of Lt. Welch's life in the Wylie High School parking lot by Wylie Stadium. Those gathered will then fan out through the community to tie yellow ribbons "on everything in the city," organizer Lauren Gebhardt said. The ribbon campaign is designed "to show support of military – until they all come home," Gebhrdt said.
Lt. Welch is survived by his wife Becky (Brill) Welch, also a Wylie High School graduate; an 18-month-old son, Robert "Little Robby" Forrest Welch IV; nephew, Aeden, 3; sister, Jane Welch; and parents LTC (Ret.) Robert "Bob" F. II and Barb Welch, of Wylie.
Lt. Welch, 26, was an ordnance office assigned to Company B, 201st Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infrantry Division, Task Force Duke. He was based in Fort Knox, Ky. and was on his first combat tour.
He died from wounds he received during an insurgent attack on FOB Salerno in the Khost province in Afghanistan.
Memorial services in his honor were held April 7 at the FOB and April 8 at Fort Knox. Local arrangements have not been announced.

According to Sarah George of Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson the toy run there and another at H-D's North Myrtle Beach store went well. At the Dec. 7, 4th annual event at the main dealership 223 riders (and a handful in cars) donated more than $1,000 and hundreds of toys to our local chapter of the American Red Cross.
George told me, "… we consider it a very successful event that continues to grow each year." At the Harley Shop on the Beach location 114 motorcycle riders participated in its inaugural Toy Run. The event garnered several hundred toys and more than $1,500. The donations will be shared between North Myrtle Beach Primary School and a local non-profit organization called Teen Angel that assists North Myrtle Beach High School students classified as homeless.
Teen Angels provides essential needs, as well as the little extras that most take for granted such as school supplies, yearbooks, prom attire, and of course, Christmas gifts. Typically, these students are too old for foster care, but too young to make ends meet on their own who have committed to finishing their education. I guess I ignorantly pictured "homeless kids" as wayward teens who didn't attend school so I apologize to and congratulate these dedicated young men and women for rising to such a challenge; and to Teen Angel and its supporters including all of you who rode in the Toy Run for being there for them. George made it a point to say, "We want to stress how hard our biker community works to support these events. Really without them and our sponsors we couldn't do this year after year."
The Last Ride
My next column on Jan. 9 will be the final installment of Ridin' With Big E. I submitted my first column as a freelancer to Weekly Surge in March of 2007, making my run here just short of seven years. I am calling it quits on mutually good terms. Simply put, I don't think I will be staying in the Myrtle Beach area. There is plenty that is still yet to be determined, but following my July back surgery, my boss and my doctors have more than suggested that my days as an Emergency Medical Technician are over. While it isn't official yet, the writing is on the wall. My wife and I are looking at options outside the area. It would be tough to leave the Grand Strand where we have lived among family and friends for 20 years, but we're sure God is going to lead us on to bigger and better things if we do.
I went back and re-read some of my old columns and thought it would be fitting to take a little walk down Memory Lane together on my way out. The opening of my first column read, "For over sixty years Myrtle Beach has hosted what many believe to be the greatest motorcycle rally in the world: Myrtle Beach Bike Week. Close to half a million bikers, weekend warriors, and wanna-bes flood the Grand Strand… With no shortage of warm, sunny days, biker-friendly bars, weekly poker runs, and the right to ride free (helmet-free if you're older than 21 and choose to do so) our town is a great place to have a motorcycle." Times have certainly changed.
Two of the four biker-friendly places mentioned in that first piece are long gone (B & M Cycles and Beach Monkey); and, the rallies' reputations are certainly tarnished, hosting a fraction of the riders and vendors they once did thanks to the black eye they got when Myrtle Beach officials started hating on bikers. Fortunately, this year I was pleased to report on the apparent, gradual rebound that is happening.
It was that original column where I introduced Sissy as "my wife and favorite riding partner", as I would often refer to her through the years. I am happy to report that hasn't changed. A female reader once sent me a nice e-mail saying that she always read my column and appreciated that I often mentioned my wife. Honestly, I don't know how I could leave her out. She shares my passion; and most of the fun I have had doing so involved having her along for the adventure. Where ever life may take us, we plan to keep our motorcycle. In fact, during some lean years I made her promise to never let me sell it. I vowed if the worst case (financial) scenario took place we'd just hop on it and ride off into the sunset, away from it all. But the sun hasn't set on us yet.
Unless something changes, in my next and final column I'll look a little closer at some of the things I was able to share with you all, my readers, during my ride here at the Surge. Until then, have a safe and Happy New Year.

Love and Time Travel Abound in the OUTLANDER Trailer
By Dan Casey on January 13, 2014
Finally, time travel-based romances and adventures are happening to women other than Emily Blunt and Rachel McAdams! In the first trailer for Starz's Outlander from Battlestar Galactica impresario Ronald D. Moore, we get a taste of what Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) will be in for as she travels through back through time to war-torn Scotland. With moody music, doublets being unbuttoned, soldiers on the march, and breathy tones explaining that it may seem crazy but she totally traveled back in time, this looks like fish-out-of-water fun mixed with the addictive, serial melodrama that one can expect from a Ronald D. Moore joint.
The series, based on the Outlander novels by Diana Gabaldon, follows a 20th century nurse, Claire Randall, who gets transported back to mid-18th-century Highland, Scotland, a land ravaged by war. Starz has ordered sixteen episodes of the hour-long drama, and with seven novels under Gabaldon's belt, there's plenty of material to mine should the series succeed. And plenty of sex appeal too, as has become the norm for Starz series. At the recent TCA winter press tour, Gabaldon said, "They sort of want to lick him," in reference to Sam Heughan, who plays Highland hottie/main love interest James Fraser. So, consider investing in a microfiber cloth to wipe the saliva from your television screen when Outlander makes its debut later this year.
What do you think? Will you be tuning into Outlander?
[…] By Dan Casey […]
Between this and Black Sails, Starz is about to become better at TV than HBO. Especially with Boardwalk Empire, The Newsroom, Eastbound and Down, and True Blood all coming to an end, and Game of Thrones about to be roadblocked soon by George's lack of progress on the books.
The weird thing is my mom and some of middle age friends like this series. I don't know how their going to handle the show based on their favorite book. Since it's STARZ it looks like something I would want to watch. I'll just have to watch in secret cause I won't hear the end of it from my mom (a woman in her 60s).
I'm so excited about this series. Based on the trailer, it looks like they're really going to do it justice.
I am so, so, so excited! What I like most is that so much of the cast and crew are on twitter and you can tell how much they enjoy what they are doing.
Also, I totally want Chris to do a Nerdist podcast with these people.

McGill English Dictionary of Rhyme with VersePerfect
Full user review
"Good---but quite bloated now"
It's free. Can't complain about that.
This used to be a comprehensive, easy-to-use program without lots of unnecessary bells and whistles. Unfortunately, ver. 2 adds a text editor, online lookup services, alternate viewing modes, and lots of other stuff---and a very confusing interface.
This is a good example of the concept, "less is more."
It's always a temptation for software developers to add more and more features, just because they can. This app has become so complicated, I think the average user---say, a songwriter who's just looking for rhymes---will find it overwhelming.
Maybe the author will realize that a good rhyming dictionary doesn't have to be all things to all people, and resume offering a simple, effective version of it as well.
Meanwhile, my advice is: Try to find a copy of version 1 and use that instead.

If only someone was able to look at mine "on a higher level". For me steam said no (twice) and I'm not sure what else I can do but surrender.
If only someone was able to look at mine "on a higher level". For me steam said no (twice) and I'm not sure what else I can do but surrender.
Hello Castellon and/or Darkrenown.
I have tried to be patient. I have played through Skyrim, Played through The Old Republic (2 lvl 50s one fully geared) and even several games of majon tiles, but I still can't play Sword of the Stars II.
It has been forever and a day since release and I still can't enjoy my moneys worth. I have tried to be understanding, supportive and as uncomplaining as I can, but enough is enough.
I personally don't see this game being completed for another 2 months at the rate they are going, and find that I could use the money for any one of the new games coming out, that are ready for play.
I would like to know the process to obtain a refund for a product that is not as was promised. I don't need any thing other then the information on whom I am to contact and I will take it from there.
Thank you.
A time machine probably
Ignored: Nuril, videonfan, Pandi
They told me that they had everything they needed and I'd get my refund. But that was December 7th, I haven't heard anything since then.
When I posted on asking how long I should wait you told me to send a question to steam about it, who said "no refunds".I hereby confirm that I have received the information that we need to be able to give you your refund. We will start the process shortly to make sure that you'll get your money as soon as possible.
Again we are terribly sorry for the inconvenience this issue has caused you.
Steam should not be a problem as they have processed all the other ones we sent them.
I would contact our support again cite your Report number or whatever they gave you to reference and give them the back ground, including a copy of the mail you received saying that it would be processed.
If you do not hear back from him in a few days let me know and I will get into it for you.
I have been dealt a good hand in life, now I am just looking for a few more cards!
I have talked to Paradox customer support so many times it's ridiculous. And my refund is always 'nearly done'. And the support guy claims to never give up on my refund. What a bunch of bull. I asked for my refund on the first day they offered them as well.
I don't think many people realize that when paradox says the refund is "nearly done" they mean they have processed your information and sent it to the seller to be finalized.
The seller does the actual refunding.
If you are still waiting on a refund, You may want to contact the retailer you purchased the game from for an update, along with the your paradox case number, requesting that the complete the refund process.
You may have to do this more than once, until you either get a non-automated response or get someone to understand that you are not asking for a new refund, but completion of one request before Nov 30th.
Remember, D-Distrutors do not normally give refunds, they are not set up for it. They deal with hundreds of thousands of clients by using automated systems. Systems that are normally(and currently, as its past nov 30th) to deny.
I will look into it for you come Monday.
I have been dealt a good hand in life, now I am just looking for a few more cards!
I got my reply from paradox support, he stated that all steam refunds have been processed in mid December and I should've got mine a "weeks ago", and he's going to email steam to ask why I didn't.
I consider my case finally closed. Did not receive my refund per se, but I got compensated in other way, which was very much to my satisfaction.
we all are interested how this case was solved after months of waiting and promises and pages and pages of forum posts...
While that is true, if Cpt.Badger doesn't want to say so, I think it is only right that we don't press him for an answer. His case was resolved to his satisfaction, and given the length and not terribly active nature of it, him being satisfied ought to be enough for us to accept (meaning it can't have been a half-assed compensation).

Welcome to another edition of Five Astounding Facts, which includes a bonus no-hitter section.
1 The human Astounding Fact, Joey Votto, went into the weekend on a pace for 201 hits and an incredible 136 walks. If he can keep that up, he'll be in ridiculously rarified territory -- because only one player in history has ever drawn that many walks in a 200-hit season. And I'm betting you've heard of him:
Babe Ruth, 1923: 170 walks, 205 hits
Babe Ruth, 1921: 145 walks, 204 hits
Babe Ruth, 1924: 142 walks, 200 hits
1A But suppose Votto slides to "only" 120 walks. Still almost equally amazing. Just one other player since 1900, besides the Bambino, walked that many times in a 200-hit season. And that was Ruth's tag-team partner, Lou Gehrig (130 in 1936, then 127 the next year). And that's it. The only NL players since 1900 who ever topped 105 walks in a 200-hit season: Todd Helton (111 in 2003) and Stan Musial (107 in 1949). Un-be-friggin'-lievable.
2The Blue Jays did something last Sunday that's nearly impossible -- especially for an American League team: Thanks to the miracle of interleague play, they had four different players get a hit out of the No. 9 hole in the same nine-inning game. And, incredibly, the starting pitcher, Ricky Romero, got none of them despite pitching four innings.
After Romero exited, three pinch-hitters -- Yan Gomes, Omar Vizquel and Mike McCoy -- got a hit. And so did reliever Carlos Villanueva. So what was the last team to have four No. 9 hitters get a hit in the same nine-inning game without the starting pitcher joining the fun? How about the 2002 Expos. But what was the last AL team to do it in a nine-inning game? Would you believe it was Bob Feller's 1950 Indians? On June 2, Feller got knocked out in the first inning, after which three pinch-hitters and reliever Al Benton all got hits. Wild, huh?
After serving up a gopherball in his first 12 starts of the season, Phil Hughes finally stopped that astonishing streak Friday night. It was still tied for the second-longest streak of all time (behind Bert Blyleven's 17 in a row to start the 1987 season). But here's how hard it is to give up a homer 12 starts in a row at ANY point in a season:
In 2000, on the way to the only 48-gopherball season in National League history, Jose Lima never allowed a home run in more than seven starts in a row. And the man who has given up more home runs than any pitcher in history -- Jamie Moyer -- is up to 522 career gopherballs without ever allowing a homer in more than 10 appearances in a row.
4 Cubs rookie Adrian Cardenas went into the weekend with five career hits -- all doubles. Which inspired loyal reader Rick Perlini to wonder: Has anyone ever kicked off a career with five consecutive doubles? Well, yes, as a matter of fact. Carlos Gonzalez's first SEVEN hits were doubles, back in 2008, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. But Gonzalez is the only other player since 1950 to roar out of the gates with a double streak this long. And no Cub had started his career with five straight extra-base hits of any sort since Frank Ernaga (2 homers, 2 triples and a double) in 1957. We regret to report that Ernaga got just two more extra-base hits the rest of his career.
5 And since it's impossible to get through one of these Five Astonishing Facts collections without an Adam Dunn nugget, how about this one: If the Big Donkey keeps whomping along at his current clip, he'd finish the season with 51 homers -- and a .227 batting average. He'd also blow away the records for lowest average by a 50-homer man (.260, by Jose Bautista) AND by a 40-homer man. So who holds that 40-homer record? Adam Dunn. Who else? He hit .234 in 2006, while bopping his standard 40 home runs on the nose.
Bonus no-hit section
We've seen two no-hitters -- Matt Cain's perfecto and the Mariners' six-pitcher no-hit extravaganza -- since the last edition of Five Astounding Facts. So here come a bunch of Astounding No-Hitter Facts:
1 If you haven't seen Gregor Blanco's outrageous catch Wednesday to preserve Cain's perfecto, you need to visit our Web Gems section right now! But here's the really astounding addendum to that catch: No right fielder has caught a ball hit that hard to that part of ANY park during the last three seasons. Here's the breakdown, from Baseball Info Solutions:
There have been 32 fly balls hit -- anywhere in baseball -- since 2010, with that approximate hang time, to that approximate location on the field. Blanco was the first right fielder to catch any of them. And of the 13 balls hit in San Francisco to within 25 feet of that spot with that approximate hang time, five turned into triples, five more were doubles and only two were caught -- both by the center fielder. Holy schmoly.
2 But one reason there weren't a bunch of other great defensive plays in that game was ... Matt Cain practically let his defense take the night off. In fact, he was just the sixth pitcher in modern history to throw a no-hitter in which he piled up more strikeouts (14) than balls put in play (13). Nolan Ryan did that four times. Sandy Koufax did it twice. The only other pitchers since 1900 to do it:
Warren Spahn, Sept. 16, 1960 (15-12)
Don Wilson, June 18, 1967 (15-12)
3 Another cool Matt Cain claim to fame: If you'll recall, he pitched a game earlier this year (April 13) in which the only man to reach base was the opposing pitcher, the Pirates' James McDonald. And that, says loyal reader/researcher Trent McCotter, makes Cain only the second pitcher ever to throw a perfect game and a "nearly perfect game" (just one baserunner) in the same year. The other: Roy Halladay in 2010 (regular-season perfecto, one-walk postseason no-hitter).
4 Meanwhile, the opposing starter, the Astros' J.A. Happ, also made no-hit history. How? By giving up 11 hits and eight earned runs, while the guy he was pitching against was giving up zero hits and zero baserunners. The only other starter since 1900 to oppose a no-hit pitcher and allow that many hits and runs was Mike Caldwell (13 hits, 8 runs) on Sept. 2, 1972, while the Cubs' Milt Pappas was no-hitting the Padres. But two of the runs off Caldwell were unearned. So Happ is the first to give up that many hits and EARNED runs while his team was getting no-hit.
5 Out in Seattle, Stephen Pryor carved a bizarre place in no-hitter history himself. He was the winning pitcher in the Mariners' six-pitcher no-hit blockbuster even though he managed to allow more hitters (two) to reach base than he got outs (one). He struck out Juan Rivera for the final out of the seventh inning, then walked the first two hitters he faced in the eighth, and off he went. But since the Mariners scored in between the whiff and the two walks, presto -- Pryor became the winning pitcher.
That means he will go down as the first pitcher ever to get a win in a no-hitter while racking up only one of the 27 outs. He also set a record for fewest batters faced by a winning pitcher in a no-hitter (three). The old record-holder was Ricardo Rincon, of "Moneyball" fame, with four, in relief of Francisco Cordero in a 10-inning no-hitter by the Pirates on July 12, 1997.
6 In the EIGHTH inning of the Mariners' no-hitter, with the Dodgers six outs away from getting no-hit, L.A. manager Don Mattingly did something no manager had done in decades: He had James Loney lay down a sacrifice bunt -- during a no-hitter. So how rare is that? Glad you asked.
According to baseball-reference.com's awesome Play Index, it made the Dodgers the first team to drop a sac bunt at any point in a no-hitter in more than 20 years -- since Padres pitcher Greg Harris bunted in the third inning of a Braves combined no-hitter on Sept. 11, 1991. But ...
The last team to bunt that late in a no-hitter? The '91 Expos, who tried bunting Delino DeShields, also with six outs to go, in a Kevin Gross no-hitter on May 23, 1991. That didn't work out so hot, either.
We found only two other sac bunts, in the live-ball era, in the eighth inning or later of a no-hitter. They were laid down by the '65 Cubs against Jim Maloney (in a 0-0 game, at least) and by the '46 Yankees against Bob Feller (in the NINTH inning, down 1-0).
7 Finally, here's to Brian Runge and Ted Barrett. They've just become the first umpires to work three different no-hitters in the same year since 1968. They worked Phil Humber's perfect game on April 21, the six-pitcher no-no in Seattle and Cain's perfecto Wednesday. Back in '68, an entire National League crew (Harry Wendelstedt, Bill Jackowski, Frank Secory and Ken Burkhart) umpired no-hitters by George Culver, Gaylord Perry and Ray Washburn.
Like Wendelstedt, Runge worked the plate in two of those no-hitters. But Runge has an even cooler spot in no-hit umpiring annals. He became just the third man to call balls and strikes in both a no-hitter and a perfect game in the same season. The others, according to Retrosheet: George (Foghorn) Bradley (in 1880) and Tommy Connolly (in 1908). Very cool.

Hi there! Happy Thursday! The weekend is so close I can almost taste it! I cannot wait for this week to just be done and over with. Like I mentioned in a couple of my posts this week, I'm under a ton of stress at work because a lot of different changes. I just hope next week brings bigger and better things for me. I am trying to think positive and be hopeful because after all, Hope is my name. I should believe in it. :)
Anyway, I was just so happy to get home. Once I got home, I was finally able to do some blog reading. I'm not really allowed to go on the internet anymore so if you notice that I haven't been commenting on your blogs until later in the day, that is why. While, I was catching up on blog reading, our wedding photographer sent me our engagement pictures. Let me just tell you, I am completely blown away and I'm so happy! I absolutely love them. They look gorgeous! They capture every single possible way that Mike and I are as a couple. They are what I pictured from the very beginning. I am not able to show you any of the pictures yet because we don't have the digital files but once I do you can be sure I will definitely post some of them or when he posts them on his blog. I can't wait for you to see them. Seeing those pictures made me so incredibly happy that he is photographing our wedding. His work is phenomenal for sure.
Once I was done showing Mike our pictures, we finally decided to start on dinner. I wanted something simple for dinner. So I began my usual routine of roasting vegetables. Tonight I roasted up some butternut squash. I am falling in love with this squash seriously. So if you have any good butternut squash recipes, send them my way! Going with the butternut squash theme, I remembered that I had a package of butternut squash ravioli from Trader Joe's in my freezer!
In addition to making these ravioli, I also sauteed some Johnsonville Apple Chicken Sausage. I've been wanting to buy these for a while but they are expensive. Last week at the supermarket, they were on sale and I had a coupon so it made for a great sale!
I sauteed some spinach as well and I tossed everything in Newman's Own Vodka Sauce. If you haven't had this sauce, you are missing out! It's one of the best jarred vodka sauces I've ever had. I like that if you look at the back of the label of the sauce, you will only see natural ingredients listed and you can pronounce everything in the ingredient list!
This dinner tasted great! I liked how well the butternut squash ravioli, spinach, chicken apple sausage and vodka sauce went together. It gave a sweet yet savory flavor. The chicken sausage has to be one of the best chicken apple sausages I've had. It's not too sweet but it has just enough apple taste mixed with a smoky taste. Oh, and the butternut squash ravioli was delicious! When you bite into the ravioli you get the great butternut squash flavoring. I highly recommend trying it.
What is your favorite type of pasta sauce? Are you a squash fan, if so what is your favorite type?
I'm nervous about tonight because I'm going to the vet with Melissa and my mom and of course Oliver. Ever since he was little he has been licking his paw like crazy. He has bad allergies but lately it's been non-stop. It's to the point where it's bright red, no fur is growing there and there is a slight lump. We are very worried. I just hope that he will be okay. I think it's very irritated from him licking it all the time. I hope that is all that it is though. He is getting older. He is almost 10 years old but he still acts like a puppy who was just born. So nothing has affected his personality. I just hope that he will be okay. Keep him in your thoughts!
One more thing before I go, on Saturday, I was graciously given the opportunity to attend TASTE Philadelphia Festival of Food, Wine and Sprits at the Valley Forge Convention Center. This event is taking place the entire weekend starting on Friday. They are giving my readers 10% off your ticket order if you enter the promo code: FOODIE. Definitely check it out. It looks like it's going to be fun!
Alright, well I should probably get going now. So have a wonderful Thursday! :)

Voyager Knit Reversible Skirt
I did keep it!
The skirt was shorter than I expected.
With the dots on the outside the black reverse hangs out
all around about 3/4 inch looking like a "too long" slip. I'll just
use the solid black side.
The bottom, even with the curly edge, is uneven.
October 2, 2014
Sharp and Comfortable
Really looking forward to wearing this skirt on our next cruise. It fit well and draped beautifully on both sides. It's great to have one skirt that will create two completely different outfits.
August 20, 2014
Invisible contrast
Beige dots on black are not distinctive enough. Material is good, fit is nothing extraordinary, just did not fall in love with it when I tried it on. Especially with the matching tank. So returning it.
August 10, 2014
Love this skirt
This is such a wonderful skirt for me. I am 5'7 1/2 and about 133 lbs. I ordered a petite small. They run large so that fits right to the knees. It is very comfortable and versatile. I like the heavier material as it drapes and hangs nicely and absolutely doesn't wrinkle. Great for stuffing into a suitcase!
I now have the brown/black pebble and the green/navy. Wear it with long top over. Wouldn't do a tuck in.
July 9, 2014
Not what I expected
Although I loved the colors it is just too heavy for me.
April 18, 2014
The best outfit I own
I love the reversible Voyager outfits. I frequently travel and having this set reduces my suitcase packing. I also have all the other Voyager sets and was delighted that the reverse sides are either black, brown or navy (depending on which pattern you choose) which increases their versatility. The quality is exceptional. The material is soft, drapes very nicely and is a flattering fit. It is a little on the large side. I normally wear an XL, but had to order a L size. Without any doubt or hesitation, I would highly recommend this to anyone.
February 22, 2014
I knew I would like it and it would fit.
Since I have bought a voyager skirt from you before, I knew this would fit and behave well. It will be a very useful skirt on both of the reversible sides. Plus it will not wrinkle. I think this design will go with some tops I own.
December 23, 2013
great for travel!
I bought this for an upcoming cruise as I wanted to keep the amount of clothes packed to a minimum. The reversable feature is great as I can mix and match different tops with the two different sides of the skirt. I bought a medium, and I normally wear a 10-12, and it was a tad bit big, so if your a small size 10 you might want a small. I am keeping the medium as the elastic waist makes it very comfortable and forgiving! I also got the "pettie" size, even though I am 5' 10" as I like my skirts a little shorter than some of the Travel Smith regular sizes. It still hits just at the bottom of my knees.

By the Way, Now Might Be a Good Time to Crack Down on the Pork Pirates
Categories: News
In March, New Times published "Pork Pirates," a feature exposing the largely Cuban illegal slaughter industry thriving in the farming areas of West Dade. Among the health officials we quoted was Dr. John Fruin, Florida's top food safety chief. The personable doctor didn't seem too concerned with the health implications of unlicensed slaughter, even saying he'd eat back-alley pork if it was prepared properly: "If a piece of meat is properly cooked, even from an illegal slaughter operation, there's not much risk."
But reached this week, Fruin says the danger of a swine flu outbreak "highlights" the need to "crack down" on unlicensed butchers. "At licensed slaughterhouses, USDA inspectors are on the alert for any sick hogs, especially those with respiratory problems or snotty, runny noses," the doctor says. "Licensed slaughterhouses have resident veterinarians. At unlicensed slaughterhouses without those inspectors, that potentially dangerous pig is going to go unchecked."
Fruin says that with
the increased scrutiny on the health of hogs, Miami-Dade's illegal slaughterhouses could be a handy pipeline
for farmers trying to sell pigs rejected by buyers
for legal butchers: "Any hog that an owner knows is not going to make
it through inspection is more likely to end up in a place where it's
not going to have to be inspected."
Some of
these illegal slaughterhouses are already notorious for bait and switch, where a customer will pick a healthy pig and the
butcher will sneakily swap it with a sick one he slaughters. It should be emphasized that the flu is not something you get
from eating pork, but farmers who knowingly harbor sick pigs are a
bit more dangerous considering the circumstances.
So there you
have it: All of the nation's sick pigs are being shuttled to Dade
County, and the freighter bringing us our shipment of millions of paper
masks from China has just been hijacked by Somalian pirates. Have a
great day!

Did you know?
The idea of wearing casual clothing to work on friday's was originally invented by clothing manufacturers in the 1970's who were producing cheaper and more comfortable clothing outside the U.S. In an attempt to boost sales, the companies asked businesses to allow their employees to wear items like jeans and t-shirts at least one day a week.
Did you know?
One of the most popular pieces in a woman's casual wardrobe, Bermuda shorts, were invented because in the 1930's women in Bermuda were not allowed to show their thighs. However, it was hot and women insisted on wearing shorts. The Bermuda shorts were invented to allow women to wear shorts without showing any of their thighs.
Tip: Flip-flop dilemna
Everyone knows that flip-flops are not the safest form of footwear. However, many safety officials actually recommend driving barefoot instead of keeping your flip-flops on. The reason for this is that flip-flops often get caught under the petals and can cause accidents. It is safer to take them off and place them in the seat next to you than to drive with them on.

Keep up to date with the latest news and updates from Mary Free Bed.
Locomotor training is an activity-based therapy that promotes recovery of walking and other motor functions by focusing on retraining the nervous system after illness or injury. For someone to learn a new, or to change, an existing motor task, practice must be specific to the desired functional outcome and practice must be repetitive.
With healthcare trends shifting to shorter lengths of stay in acute care hospitals, patients needing rehabilitation are being admitted sooner to physical medicine and rehabilitation facilities. And research shows the sooner a patient receives physical therapy after an accident or surgery, and the more intense the treatment, the better the outcome. New interventions need to be available for staff to maximize outcomes in shorter lengths of time. The newest piece of equipment at Mary Free Bed, and the only one of its kind in the Greater Grand Rapids area, is a robot-assisted locomotor training system. Robot-assisted locomotor training requires only one therapist, instead of three for manual-assisted body-weight supported treadmill training, to provide treatment, and patients are able to receive intense treatment sooner.
To provide body-weight support, the patient is harnessed into the system with something similar to a rock climbing harness, and the robotic devices are attached to the patient's legs via straps. The patient's legs are moved by the robotic devices over a treadmill in a natural walking pattern. Depending on strength, the therapist can increase or reduce the amount of the patient's weight on the system. Patients can expect locomotor training to feel like being in a pool. If the patient isn't strong enough to bear weight, the system provides them with weightlessness so the body can relearn a walking pattern with risk of fall.
Training is appropriate for most with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, various pediatric conditions, and other neurological or orthopedic conditions. Among other criteria, a candidate must have some sensation or movement in at least one major muscle group in the leg. This intervention isn't appropriate for everyone, and certain medical conditions may prohibit participation. For more information on robot-assisted locomotor training, please call 616.242.0380.

Need a quick money to start off something or you've got to pay your debt?
How about solving that problem by making quick cash online?
Internet is so wide that you can't exactly count and filter what is the easiest way and what is the most accurate way that is applicable to you to earn money in real, quick and fast.
Everybody loves quick work. Even I do!
Anyway, getting into the point, today I'm going to show you how to make quick money online and that's going to be pretty easier than other money making methods.
Let's get started!
Blogging? "Nah… Not again! That's the longest process I know to hardly earn some bucks."
I agree. It's a long process and I'm not going to bore you with the same blogging thing again and again. I'm just resetting your mind that you won't be seeing any long blogging thing or something similar that you don't want to hear.
So, basically, I'm going to guide you through a process that makes you money quick and fast doing almost nothing!
Before getting into the guide I want you to make yourself believe that this method works because it really does!
We'll be using Fiverr.
Nope you're not going to do anything hard and don't get sick too fast only by hearing its name. You don't even know the process till now.
Now here's step 1.
STEP 1: Get into the Fiverr
Go to Fiverr.com and find some cool stuffs related to SEO, Social Media or something similar. There's actually 'hungry buyers' when it comes to SEO stuff.
You should be seeing something like this:
I will give you X amount of backlinks for $5
Choose a gig that has good ratings, maximum orders and less negative feedback. Add that gig to you watch list or simply bookmark the page.
STEP 2: Look for your favorite IM forum
Now seek out some real popular internet marketing forums. I preferably choose Warrior Forum or IMTalk. In these place there's actually a high potential to make easy money because it is where I successfully made 4 figure income through my first eBook.
However, if you've already got a good reputation in other similar forum then it works as well.
STEP 3: Start a promising sales thread
Create a new thread in Buy Sell and Trade section. In Warrior Forum you have to pay to create new thread in the 'Warrior for Hire' section. But believe me it's worth the money!
Now write in the thread about your service. It's not 'your' service actually, but it is the service you found out in Fiverr. Don't be too stupid to mention that your're offering the service through Fiverr.
You can set any price you want. Make sure you don't use high price. The lower your price is, the higher orders you'll receive.
I'd recommend the normal service price of $50 but it totally depends upon what type of service you're giving.
STEP 4: Wait for the money
You are just becoming a middle person here. What you've to do is when someone place an order for your service in the forum, get the details from the buyer and order a new gig and send the same details to the service provider at Fiverr. It might take few days to get the service delivered.
STEP 5: Deliver it all and watch your money flowing in!
Once the you get the service report at Fiverr, deliver the same report to your buyer at Warrior/IMTalk forum and BAAM!
Congratulations! You've just earned profit of $45!
You purchased the gig worth $5 and received payment from your client and that's $50. So the net total you'll receive is $45!
Now, if you could get about 6 – 7 orders per day then by doing the simple math you'd earn 7×45 = $315 per day and 315×30= $9,450 per month doing little work or nothing at all on your side!
Cool huh? As you can see this is not just a theory but actually a method that works if you implement it immediately after finishing reading this post. Simply a great way to make easy money online. As simple as that.
Now what you've to do is take action. If you've little more creativity then Fiverr and IM forums are not only the place to use this method.
If you tried this method but you couldn't even make one sale then there's something wrong with you.
Let me know in the comment how much have you earned after taking action with this money making method.

Divine Provenance: The Dalai Lama and his Mysterious Patek Philippe
If you have the pleasure, in the morning, of trying to decide whether to put on your Patek Philippe or your Rolex, you may be in good company. It appears that the Dalai Lama also may be in the same boat as you. Which watch should you wear today?
In the Dalai Lama's case, he prefers one of his favorite possessions, a Patek Philippe watch given to him by President Roosevelt through intermediaries. During an interview granted to the Patek Philippe magazine (Issue Number 8, Fall 2000), the Dalai Lama told how he received the watch in 1943. "The Second War was still going on, and the Allies wanted to make a road over Tibet from Assam, in India, to China. So two American military representatives came with a letter from President Roosevelt and a box containing a gold watch. A Patek Philippe. I was very excited. It was a very beautiful, very smart model. I still have it and it still works."
There has been some recent confusion on some internet forums about whether the watch given to the Dalai Lama was a Patek or Rolex. Indeed, there are pictures of his holiness wearing a Rolex but what about the Patek Philippe? This question has recently been put to rest during the Dalai Lama's recent visit to New York City, where he clarified that he indeed received a Patek Philippe, not a Rolex, as a gift from President Roosevelt when he was a small boy. To make matters more interesting, the Patek Philippe he received has been reported to show the phases of the moon and the days of the week, in all likelihood a perpetual calendar. (Patek Philippe started production of the famous Ref. 1526 in 1942, the first regular production perpetual calendar for the company.)
There is more to the story though. Eric Wind, a contributing writer to Hodinkee, picked up a copy of The Story of Tibet: Conversations with the Dalai Lama by Thomas Laird after reading a draft of this very posting.
"First, the watch was given to the Dalai Lama by FDR in 1943, but it was not personally given by FDR. The Patek actually was given to the Dalai Lama in Lhasa, Tibet by two intelligence agents in the OSS (the World War II U.S. intelligence service that was the forerunner to the CIA). The two intelligence agents were Ilia Tolstoy (who the book describes as the 'émigré grandson of the Russian novelist') and Brooke Dolan. Tolstoy and Dolan went to Tibet to examine the possibility about building a road from India to China that would run through Tibet in order to help the U.S. better provide China with supplies to fight and resist the Japanese. They carried to the Dalai Lama the Patek Philippe and a letter from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Laird writes, 'Tradition dictated that he say nothing to his visitors and that they say nothing to him. Instead, he accepted gifts from the foreign envoys and they accepted a ritual 'khata' [a traditional ceremonial scarf] from him in silence."
Page 294, The Story of Tibet shares the Dalai Lama's words:
"This is from Tolstoy and Dolan," he said as he put a box in my hands.
Inside was a gold Patek Philippe watch, which showed the phases of the
moon and the days of the week."Well Roosevelt certainly had nice
taste," I said. "How old were you when you received this from
President Roosevelt?" I asked."I was seven or eight," he said.
"Has it been repaired?"
"Several times, " he said with an embarrassed smile. By the time his
brother left for China, in 1946, accompanying a Tibetan delegation,
who went to offer congratulations to India's colonial government and
to China on their victory in the war, the timepiece already needed
repairs. Even a Patek couldn't hold up to the wear and tear from young
Tenzin Gyatso."Then after that, on one occasion in Lhasa," the Dalai Lama said, "I
had it stay in my pocket and I also had a strong magnet. I was working
on the movie projector. So the watch went out for repair again," he
noted sheepishly. It was even out for repairs in Switzerland in 1959,
when he fled Lhasa the last time. Regular maintenance is the reason he
has the watch today.He joked about the checkered history of Roosevelt's gift. "It seems
that this watch has made the prayer that it will never be in the hands
of the Chinese!" the Dalai Lama laughed.

How to make videos work in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 on Windows [Guide]
Posted By Mukhi On May 29, 2013 @ 4:31 AM In Windows | 5 Comments
[1]When Microsoft came out with Office 2010, they did at least one excellent job, i.e., inserting videos in PowerPoint has become as easy as going to the Insert tab and inserting videos from File/Web Site/Clip Art. The same applies to the next version, MS Office PowerPoint 2013. Things are not so easy with 2007 version or earlier; it is a pain indeed to insert videos. This article shows you how to insert videos into PowerPoints in 2007.
The following tutorial works using Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 if you have the latest Apple QuickTime Player and/or Adobe Flash Player and/or VLC media player installed (all these players are free for Windows). The tutorial may work in a similar way for MS PowerPoint 2003, I have never tried it though.
N.B. Always check to make sure that the movie works using the same computer as you will be using for your actual presentation. It may not work in all machines or operating systems. It may be more reliable and useful in the long-term to download or purchase movie editing software (e.g., iWisoft Free Video Converter or Format Factory is free for Windows) that will allow you to easily convert your video into a video with a file format compatible with the default player of your OS. For example, .wmv works best in Windows Media Player of Windows and .mov in Apple QuickTime Player of Mac. For movies in native format, use the following easy steps:
Click the Insert tab. Under Media Clips (far right side), click Movie. Browse to Insert Movie and click OK. Choose Automatically or When Clicked as you like.
Done. Enjoy!

Fort Klamath
Fort Klamath (1863-1890) - Established by two companies of soldiers under Major Charles S. Drew, 1st Oregon Volunteer Cavalry, on 5 September 1863 during the U.S. Civil War. Fort Klamath was an important post during Modoc, Snake and Piute wars. The majority of troops were removed in 1889 and the fort was finally left to a caretaker on 23 Jun 1890.
History of Fort Klamath
Built as a two company cavalry fort by Captain William Kelley and Company C of the 1st Oregon Volunteer Cavalry. It was located near strategic travel routes to California and Idaho and the new Oregon Central Military Road. The fort's main purpose was to oversee the Indian populations of the local area and to protect settlers and travelers. Originally built by Oregon volunteer troops it was garrisoned by Federal troops after the U.S. Civil War.
The site chosen for the fort was ideal in that ample supplies of wood, grass and water were readily available. A rudimentary sawmill was hauled in and the construction of the fort was begun by Company C and a civilian contractor, David Linn. The first set of structures included barracks for two companies, four officers quarters, an adjutant's office, a guardhouse, an arsenal, a hospital, a bakery , storehouses for the quartermaster and two well built stables for the horses. The fort was of an open plan and not stockaded. The fort itself occupied about 1000 acres and a hay reserve occupied another 3000 acres.
In Jul 1867 the volunteer troops were relieved by Federal troops of Troop A, 1st U.S. Cavalry. During the Federal period the fort was expanded to more than 40 buildings many of which were framed with fine, knot free pine. By 1885 the buildings included a fine new hospital, a library, a theater and an entertainment room with a billiard table.
In July 1872 the garrison at Fort Klamath was instructed to return a band of Modoc Indians led by Captain Jack to the Klamath reservation. Captain Jack's band fled into what is now the Lava Beds National Monument in Northern California and took up nearly impenetrable positions in the lava beds. The Modocs could not be persuaded or driven from their positions and reinforcements were sent for. The new commander of the operation, General Edward R. S. Canby, received orders to cease offensive action against Capt. Jack's band and eventually began negotiations with them. At a Peace Commission meeting with the Modoc on 11 Apr 1873 the Modocs attacked the negotiators killing General Canby and Dr. Thomas. This atrocity signaled the end of negotiations and operations were begun to to forcibly remove them. After several attempts and a disastrous ambush and massacre by the Modocs the acting commander was relieved by General Jefferson C Davis and the army finally gained control of the situation. On 4 Jun 1873 Capt. Jack was captured, reportedly still in General Canby's uniform, and removed to especially built stockade at Fort Klamath. A courts martial was convened 5 Jul 1873 and six Modoc were tried for murder, Capt. Jack and three others were convicted and hung on 3 Oct 1873. Their graves are marked on the present day fort. The Modoc War cost the lives of five officers and sixty enlisted men and General Canby was the only General Officer to lose his life in any of the Indian wars.
In the years after the Modoc War, Fort Klamath became the social center of the area and the post settled into a peacetime routine. In 1880 General Irvin McDowell called it "The most beautiful frontier post in the nation" and by 1885 the post was at its zenith with over 40 well built buildings, mostly painted white. It had the look of a very proper and prosperous post. The troops were kept busy with patrols and drills but there was little fighting to be done.
In 1886 President Grover Cleveland declared the post "useless for military purposes" and the long process of closing down Fort Klamath began. The post was officially closed 9 Aug 1889 and the garrison departed that day leaving behind a caretaker detachment led by Lt. William C McCammon, 14th U.S. Infantry and nine enlisted men. This detachment endured a brutal winter that saw buildings collapse under the weight of snow. They departed Fort Klamath on 23 Jun 1890 leaving agent John F Loosley in possession.
In the following years old Fort Klamath was used for the occasional National Guard maneuvers and annual Fourth of July celebrations. Around 1900 the land was alloted to the Indians and they began to remove the buildings for their own use and the land fell into private ownership. Recently several of the original buildings have been located.
Current Status
Oregon Route 62, Crater Lake Highway, bisects the old fort grounds and a part of the grounds on the west side of the highway is a Klamath County Park dedicated in August 1973. The road actually runs right where the line of officer's quarters once was. Other parts of the former Fort Klamath are on private property. The County Park is dedicated to the fort has a reproduction of the guardhouse that serves as an excellent museum with artifacts and interpretive displays that describe the fort. Also reproduced on the grounds are the graves of Capt. Jack and his three accomplices. Kevin Fields was manning the museum on the day of our visit and help us greatly with information about Fort Klamath and other forts in that part of Oregon.

Wingspan 5.1 cm. Forewing is light brown to black-brown with a pale submarginal border and the discal spots greatly reduced; hindwing is orange to red-copper. This noctuid is common in wet conifer forests west of the Cascade Mountains. Moths fly in late summer and fall. Caterpillars are generalist feeders on the foliage of flowering trees and shrubs such as maple (Acer), alder (Alnus), manzanita (Arctostaphylos), ocean spray (Holodiscus discolor), and snowbrush (Ceanothus velutinus).
Similar species: Amphipyra tragopoginis is smaller, wings are dull brown with small black discal spots, widely distributed, caterpillars feed on herbs; Amphipyra glabella forewing is pale gray to black with a contrasting white submarginal border, widely distributed in the Rocky Mountain region, caterpillars feed on the foliage of poplar (Populus).

By TED SILLANPAA
I'm on Twitter (@TedSillanpaa) and, thus, remain amazed at media types who feel that we're interested in their view of the type man they believe 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh to be. I could be an outlier among 49ers' fans, but as long as the club's winning, I know all I need to know about Harbaugh.
If they start losing, all I need to know is how he plans to get them winning again.
The folks who cover the club blew up Twitter over the last week offering a variety of 140-character psychological profiles of Harbaugh.
He's a bully.
He plays games with the media.
He's rude. Worse, he's rude to members of the media.
The coach doesn't care about Alex Smith's feelings.
Harbaugh kicks his cat after losses.
Wait, I just assumed the latter would pop up on Twitter at some point as the Twitteratti detail their encounters with Harbaugh. (And, it well might pop up after the next loss.)
Jim Harbaugh's a football coach. He came in with a staff of talented assistants and turned a horrendous 49ers' team around immediately. The guy took Smith, who was judged a complete bust, and got within a break or two of reaching the Super Bowl in his first season with San Francisco. I'm supposed to care that he mocks some questioners and tap-dances around media coverage?
Unless Harbaugh's going to be inviting me over for barbecue or to watch game tape, I don't care what he's like as a man dealing with people paid to ask him questions. I really don't care, but I particularly don't care what people paid to question him think about him based on how he responds to the questions.
Here's a scoop … Harbaugh doesn't like to answer questions.
Harbaugh's a football coach. His football team wins games. You and I don't care what the sports media psychologists think of the coach as a person. In fact, we don't care much at all about how the media does its job, do we?

Well said, and by a well paid sports media guy, too.
Korbe…Thanks for reading. Not so fast on the "well paid" part of my being in the sports media … there are levels of being "well paid" that I try not to think about.
I care Rock on, Brother Ted.
Matt…I think we all have a guess about what the alpha-male who was the star quarterback in high school and college, raised by a football coach dad in a competitive household is generallylike. Whether he enjoys give and take with a bunch of guys asking question after question is…not something I need to read or hear about. I've never been interested in how the media works and I work in the media … TED
If only you could get the Cohn's to heed your advice!
David…Thanks for reading. I appreciate it. Stay in touch. Ted
Thank goodness someone takes on Cohn, the laziest person ever to write about sports. I hope he is axed by the PD as soon as possible.
Alec…Thanks for reading. I appreciate it. Agree or disagree with him, Lowell Cohn brings an intelligence to the modern sports media that is sadly missing in most cases. And, something readers might miss, his ability to ask great, thoughtful questions is a talent lost today. You won't hear Lowell approach Jim Harbaugh with, "Talk about the game…" We can disagree. I tend to appreciate what Lowell brings to the business. Stay in touch, Alec. TED

I have a very nice '94CL in 32 20 that has a Skinner peep. I haven't been able to shoot it much lately due to not finding ammo...any recommendations on a good, efficient factory load that might be better than the cowboy stuff that's available now? I used to have some custom loaded stuff from a place in Texas, but they're out of business now. I'd love to find a load that would be adequate for small whitetails out to 50-70 yds or so. I don't want to handload.
The 32-20 is really pushing it as a deer cartridge with factory loads.
You have to remember that it is a 130 year old black powder cartridge and ammo makers have to allow for the very old rifles and revolvers that are still out there and being used.
I use my own reloads for my 32-20 CL and they consist of a 115gr cast bullet and 9 gr of 2400, for me 9 gr is the best load for accuracy, but I'm sure there are people pushing loads for modern rifles even harder than that.
A wonderful system of government which allows you to choose who your dictator will be.
I've been thinking of loading...doing it in a basic way with a Lee kit. I want a JSP or HP at around 2000 or so fps. I was hoping someone knew a small loader that was putting out a nice load like that. Wish Buffalo Bore was doing something with the 32-20.
Last edited by OIF2; 06-23-2012 at 03:24 PM.
Hey there OIF2 -- As well as getting into reloading, here is something else to consider...
Attachment 31453
and here was the set-up...
Hope this helps. Best regards. Wind
I have also shot 9 gr. of 2400 with a 100 JSP and thought it was a good load.
Not sure if it reached 2000 fps. If you want the velocity I would look for 85 gr JSP or hollow point.
Sierra makes a nice 90 gr. JHP.
Really good accuracy with this cartridge and the penetration of this caliber surprises me....it's impressive.
Don't think you will find anything but the 100 gr. lead at about 1200 fps in factory loading.
Before they grew armor plate a lot of deer were killed with a 32-20. Especially in the high velocity rifle loading.
Marlins in 44-40. Whacking varmits since 1888
Team 44-40
Team 1894
Pre-scopes, folks had to be hunters, not just shooters, and knew how to stalk close enough to use the smaller calibers. These days the critters are a lot more skittish, particularly if the BP and pointy-stick guys have had their go first.
.32-20 is NOT legal where I hunt, .357 is the smallest pistol caliber allowed in a carbine. Deer come in a lot of different sizes in different areas, where I lived once, an 80 pounder was a pretty good size for a coastal deer. Where I hunt now, that would be a medium-sized fawn. Usual size for a two-year old is about 140-180, depending on what they've been eating that year. .32-20 would probably do for the coastal midgets, not so great for the corn-fed ones I go after now.
Stan S.
Found a company in CA (LoadX) that is loading a 100 grain JHP at 1600 fps...sounds perfect for what I want. I'll keep the forum updated.
Stans4.. 32-20 is a rifle cartridge.
OIF2....how about a link or some info on LoadX. I went to LoadX website and don't see a 100JHP at 1600fps.

Jim Cramer's Best Blogs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jim Cramer fills his blog on RealMoney every day with his up-to-the-minute reactions to what's happening in the market and his legendary ahead-of-the-crowd ideas. This week he blogged on:
- why it's nice to look at the market without severe Europe jitters;

Enjoying the View Without Europe
Posted at 1:18 p.m. EDT on Friday, Dec. 9.
To me, the whole thing is a little remarkable. You clear up Europe and you get a whole new view on everything. Now, instead of thinking that the semiconductors are terrible, we think there's a trough and it's time to buy. Instead of thinking Europe's in a recession and we'll have to sell the steels and the machinery companies and the DuPont-like enterprises, we say that a recession will be avoided and it's time to buy them. > > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll And, of course, instead of saying that there's still plenty of worry about bank-stock earnings, we decide it doesn't matter about earnings, what matters is no more Lehmans. Contagion contained! Excuse me for being willing to pay for only those companies that are doing well and earning their keep. Still, it is safe to say that we can reverse yesterday's losses because those were predicated on nothing happening at all -- not looser bank requirements, and not an understanding that European banks have unlimited credit lines and don't need to sell sovereign debt. The rose-colored glasses have a habit of falling off a couple of days after they have been put on. So don't let them get too snug. We have failed at these levels repeatedly. Still, it's terrific to see the market shrug off Texas Instruments (TXN), DuPont (DD - Get Report) and Altera (ALTR). In fact, if my charitable trust didn't own DuPont, it would certainly be nibbling today. Random Musings: General Electric (GE) yields 4% again after that surprise dividend boost. What's not to like!

Congratulations to Nirpsis August Contributor of the Month
Forum Nokia honors one member every month for their outstanding contribution to our community's Wiki. The winner for Aug was Nirpsis who continues providing excellent Python How To articles this month.
Most months a Forum Nokia member that contributes high quality new articles or major edits is named the Contributor of the Month and is awarded a Nokia Multimedia device for his/her contribution to the developer's community.
You too can be a ''Contributor of the Month'' by simply contributing useful articles, example codes, tutorials, or by significantly shaping up the already existing ones. If you have significant edits to the existing pages then please bring these to my attention. Articles are judged first and foremost by the quality, value and appearance of the article and code so even one very good article can win.
