Mavericks Waive Holloway And Mbenga
Posted By Sports Talk Florida On October 2, 2012 @ 1:15 PM In NBA | No Comments
[1]DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks have waived Tu Holloway and DJ Mbenga.
The moves Tuesday put the Dallas training camp roster at 16 players. Holloway, an undrafted rookie, and the 7-foot Mbenga, who was previously with the Mavericks, were signed as free agents last Thursday before camp.
Mbenga was originally a rookie free agent for the Mavericks in 2004 after playing on the team's summer league squad. He played in 79 games before being waived at the start of the 2007 season. He has since played for Golden State, the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans, and has averaged 1.8 points and 1.5 rebounds in 234 career games.
Holloway played at Xavier, where in four seasons he averaged 13.7 points and 4.1 assists per game.

This is an educational and instructional video as in response to the Magpul 'Art of the Shotgun' video where the instructors, Haley & Costa, indicate that doing an emergency shell swap/chambered round swap is not possible when using a Mossberg so as to retain the next round in the magazine.
In their instructional DVD they ran into problems with this only because the two students in that course who brought Mossbergs were not aware of their guns operating system, and by that how to manipulate it.
As well the instructors, Haley & Costa, themselves not being aware of the Mossberg operating system choose to indicate to their students and those watching ther instructional video that the Mossberg system is inadequate in this area.
This as fact though is not a truth.
I will clearly demonstrate and instruct same through this video using a Mossberg 590 A1 type receiver and operating system shotgun.

Election Day has come and voters across the region are deciding who will represent them locally, at the Statehouse and in Congress. Cuyahoga County voters choose the first county executive and council. On The Sound of Ideas Wednesday, we'll spend the morning making sense of the results. Who are the new faces? What ideas carried the day? How has the political landscape changed? And which school districts will need to retool and reload for another run at a levy? A post-election 'what happened and why' at 9:00 a.m. on 90.3.

This was shades of 1948. makes me think of the Dixiecrats. They did not last, either, except for escalation of racial discord. The right is now saying the president should reach out to them when from the day after the 2008 elecetion per rush's edit, do not let anything this man wants to do succeed. Let everything fail. Do not cooperate. NOW they say they want to cooperate? John McCain said it best, he knew this would happen, the backlash against a black president. He also said, if it had been any other president, no one would have said a thing. If this president were to give every American their taxes, they would not go along. I do not believe them.
Can you explain more in depth The County Executive Job? Is this a full time position or will Ed Fitzgerald just appoint the board and take a back seat?

Makeup Tricks from Good Housekeeping Video
Good Housekeeping's Beauty Editors have some makeup tricks to help women look their best
Women who think they know it all when it comes to makeup, listen up! Good Housekeeping's Kim Daly has a few makeup secrets you've probably never heard before.
Well, a great way to brighten tired eyes is to use a nude or white liner just above your eyebrow to highlight the area. It creates the illusion of lift and makes you look wide awake.
And Kim says you can make your eyeliner last longer by wetting the brush with Visine first. Which finger is best for applying makeup?
When you're applying makeup around your eye area, it's instinctive to use your first finger, but really you wanna use your ring finger because it's the weakest digit. So when you're applying concealer or a cream shadow, it's gonna cause less tugging and in the end cause less wrinkling.
And when you're choosing a new shade of lipstick, don't rub it across the back of your hand.
When you're buying a new lipstick color, you want it to look great on your lips, not on the back of your hand. So, when you're testing out the color put it on your fingertips and hold it up next to your mouth as opposed to the back of your hand so you get the best color shade for your lips.
Finally, for the prettiest finish on your lips, brush them. That's right. Use your toothbrush to brush your lips. Good Housekeeping says this exfoliates any dry skin and it let your lip color glide on without caking. I'm Elizabeth McGuire for Good Housekeeping reports.

I've known Charlie for 7 years but we recently made a connection because many of us company guys play Battlefield 1942 together on Friday's. He expressed interest and I went to his house and set him up. We've been pretty good friends since. I had found out that he served in the Army from 1973 through 1979, stationed in many places but mostly Germany and Korea. He was an artillery guy. After spending about 3 hrs with him that day, I found the most interesting guy. Prior to that, we barely even talked about work. He was a bit grumpy at work and could be caustic. He was a totally different person at his home. We had talked about going out to the range together, but never made it happen.
A good friend of mine and co-worker, Charlie Cooke, was found dead by his wife yesterday when she came home from work. The news hasn't put up the story yet, so I can't link it.
From what I know, he took vacation yesterday. He came home from his sister's at 1:30. His wife, who I also work with, found him at 2:30pm already dead. He had been cleaning his pistols and was on his second pistol, a 9mm and shot himself below the right bottom rib with the bullet exiting the left clavicle.
The story gets weird because as I understand it, he is a left handed person but shot himself on the right side. The gun was partially disassembled and oiled but was still loaded. Unfortunately, I don't know the model of the pistol so I'm having trouble making sense out of what exactly happened. I don't know if he just got complacent or distracted.
Anyway, the coroner said that he would have died instantly from the wound and I guess, for that, we can be thankful. I'm going to miss you, Charlie and the friendship that might have been. I'm just sorry I wasted 7 years to get to know you better.

Brother of FAA Employee Profited from Scheme to Steal Boats, Plane, Cars and Electronics
BRADLEY A. GARNER, 51, a Canadian citizen who resides in Palm Desert, California, was sentenced late yesterday to 54 months in prison and three years of supervised release for Wire Fraud and Theft of Honest Services, Mail Fraud, and Unlawful Monetary Transaction. The sentencing hearing was in front of U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle at the federal courthouse in Tacoma, Washington. GARNER was convicted following a three week trial in June 2009, of public corruption charges involving a scheme to misappropriate expensive federal property such as boats, planes, vehicles and computers. GARNER's co-conspirator, his half-brother Steven B. Smith, a former employee of the Federal Aviation Administration is scheduled for trial later this year.
According to records filed in the case and testimony at trial, Steven Smith misused a government computer to place holds on items meant for transfer to other federal agencies. Smith would place a claim on the property as a representative of the FAA. However, Smith was not authorized to place any holds for the FAA. GARNER then traveled the country picking up claimed goods worth thousands of dollars. Some of the items claimed include two 27' Boston Whaler boats, a Cessna airplane, a 50 foot yacht used in the Bahamas by the Drug Enforcement Administration, and a sailing yawl that had been used by the Naval ROTC program at the University of Washington. Although the scheme was international in scope, the counts of conviction relate to specific things GARNER did in Western Washington as he claimed the various items. For example, the Mail Fraud conviction relates to an insurance claim GARNER filed on the Cessna airplane falsely indicating he had purchased the plane for one dollar. Prosecutors pointed out that GARNER, who ran a limousine service, never obtained title showing the items were legally purchased and never registered the cars, boats or plane with licensing authorities. GARNER stored the items at his home or airport hangar. Some of the items, such as the sailboat claimed from the Navy ROTC, were smuggled to Canada.
GARNER and Smith were first arrested in Southern California in November 2008. They were indicted by the grand jury in February 2009.
Prosecutors asked for a 15 year prison sentence noting GARNER's leadership of the scheme, and the harm to the community. "Bit by bit, piece by piece, the evidence showed that GARNER was a manager, financier, and driving force behind the scheme. By the end of trial, the facts proved that GARNER's expertise, leadership, and resources caused the scheme to grow in breadth and boldness. The brothers went from stealing tools from nearby federal facilities to elaborate stratagems that targeted airplanes and yachts.... (They) deprived deserving agencies from state and local law enforcement, fire departments, job corps, and others of the use of this property, where it would have served the community's interests, not the schemers' interests," prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo.
The case was investigated by the General Services Administration Office of the Inspector General (GSA-OIG), the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), the Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General (DOT-OIG), Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS), Army Criminal Investigation Division (Army CID) Defense Criminal Investigation Service (DCIS) and the FBI. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys David Reese Jennings and Brian Werner.

The cooking is sophisticated, but the menu isn't particularly well conceived. Fresh shrimp summer rolls came with a thick hoisin sauce that obliterated their delicate flavor. A green-mango salad had julienned vegetables identical to those garnishing the summer rolls. Nicely seared quail arrived atop dried-out sticky rice (the only kitchen shortfall), and our two main dishes seemed oddly incomplete: Quail eggs and chicken in an iron pot and prawns in a bouillabaisse reduction were in much need of substantial vegetables and starch.
Our order was taken at 7:10 p.m. Our main courses were cleared away at 7:40. The staff was exceedingly amiable, to say nothing of lightning quick. Resist the pressure to move on, and try the fabulous ice creams, especially the avocado and the black sesame seed. I returned a few days later, bellied up to the bar and asked for a double—of ice cream. I expected to be tossed out, but dessert was graciously served. GRADE: B

This place is vegan, organic and kosher. That's strike one, strike two and strike three, as far as I'm concerned. You can't avoid reading the menu babble about "live food" and "living enzymes," variations on the joys of raw. Still, Caravan of Dreams has a sweet, mismatched, Pete-Seeger-ate-here feel to it. The day I had lunch, crates of veggies were piled up in the dining room.
The root beer contained sassafras. The marinated tofu was insipid. The grilling was so inexpert I started to see the desirability of uncooked.
Freshness is a virtue. The thin flaxseed chips were addictive, the guacamole was smooth as butter, and the pea soup was thick and chunky. Our meal seemed to last as long as a Grateful Dead concert, but I don't blame the single waitress on duty. A couple of vegans made her recite the ingredients in every cold drink. GRADE: C
119 First Avenue, 212-477-9506
This relentlessly hip spot seemingly has it all: a Dok Suni cookbook, long waits for tables, and semi-authentic Korean cuisine neutralized for the sake of its mostly Caucasian clientele. The night I went, most of the customers looked happy. I was an exception.
Dok suni means "strong girl," a designation I wouldn't apply to our dour waitress. Bullheaded, maybe. Stubborn, for sure. Twice she brought out our main courses before we had finished our appetizers. The second time, we relented and let them stay. They were limp, lukewarm, disagreeable and overdone. Even hot they would have been disappointing.
The appetizers were much better. Batter-coated shrimp and kimchi (pickled cabbage) pancakes were expertly fried. Quite wonderful was a mild version of a traditional Korean dish called dukboki— fabulously chewy rice noodles the size of double-aught shotgun shells in a red-pepper- and-garlic sauce.
My friend and I tried two Korean cocktails— a martini containing orange-flavored vodka, and cinnamon-flavored tea with bourbon. The first drink tasted like orange juice, the second like tea and cinnamon toast. If I become an alcoholic, this will be my regular breakfast spot. GRADE: C
58 East 1st Street, 212-505-7739
Are there Thai bistros? Probably not, but that's what the Elephant looked and tasted like to me. The mostly red room has a copper bar, a tin ceiling, a beaded curtain, hanging bunches of bananas and an air of culinary confidence I associate with the French.
The service could not have been friendlier, and the food was appealing, except for an overabundance of shredded beets and carrots. The hot-and-sour soup was fierce, so spicy and vinegary it alerted me that this is no tropic-themed restaurant. The red-lentil soup with fluffy shrimp dumplings was velvety and tingly, and those dumplings were put to even better use in another appetizer, where they were matched with an intense red-curry-and-garlic sauce.
The duck was a conceptual shocker: Thick, rare, beefy slices atop macaroni and cheese suggested southeast U.S.A. more than Southeast Asia. GRADE: B
145 Avenue C, 212-505-6559
Esperanto isn't a restaurant. It's a Caribbean vacation, the kind where you drink forty beers in one night, the natives are especially nice, and you're glad you ignored the State Department warnings posted at the airport.
The place is goofy and ramshackle. Spice packets are nailed to the wall, the lightbulbs are bare, and I swear I heard sitar music while I was eating. You may think the people running Esperanto are clueless— until the food comes out.
The cuisine, supposedly nuevo latino, isn't very nuevo. It's Brazilian. Or Cuban. Or Mexican. Mostly, it's traditional, and it's great fun. We started with tender, sweet grilled squid, so beautifully prepared we knew right away we'd underestimated the talent at the stove. Feijoada, the Brazilian answer to cassoulet, was inelegantly presented but deeply delicious, and the tender carne asada was matched with a cheesy, messy stuffed pepper, impossible to resist.
The best dessert was a mango gratin— coconut sorbet in a warm mango-rum nectar, the Caribbean equivalent of a hot-fudge sundae. Then, I swear, a flamenco dancer appeared. GRADE: B
88 Second Avenue, 212-420-0202
The laminated menu of this inexplicably popular red-sauce spot is bedecked with a sepia-toned photograph of a matronly Italian mother making orecchiette by hand, obviously intended to evoke the harmony and sweetness of familial Italian life. Dishes such as "Uncle Tony's gnocchi" and "spiced meat loaf with Carmela's tomato gravy" suggest a highly personal, attention- to-detail cuisine. I had one lunch and can't recall eating worse Italian food. Or so much of it.
The heaping plate of rigatoni with "Grandmother Carmela's tomato and meat gravy" included rubbery pasta, neutral sauce, slices of bland sausage and tiny overcooked meatballs. Everything seemed reheated, but I suppose the rigatoni hadn't been.

Work starts on Boris Johnson's Thames cable car
Work has begun to build the Thames cable car linking North Greenwich and the Royal Docks.
Construction of the passenger stations on both sides of the river has started, with piles being driven deep into the ground to support the foundations. The scheme, which will cost at least £56million could be finished in time for the 2012 Olympics.
The installation of the piles for the north station in the Royal Victoria Dock is taking place from a barge rig moored in the dock, while the south station is being built next to The O2 on the Greenwich Peninsula. Work in the river is also progressing to probe for obstructions before piling starts.
The project has attracted controversy, with Mayor of London Boris Johnson promising it would be entirely privately funded. He has yet to find a business partner, however, and the upfront costs are being met from Transport for London's budget and will recoup its money from sponsors and fare revenue.
Mr Johnson sees the cable car, which will span a 1.1km section of the Thames, as a vital part of his plans to boost regeneration in east London, particularly since the Royal Docks was granted Enterprise Zone status earlier this year.
He said: "London's cable car will boost the ongoing renaissance of this easterly quarter of the Capital, helping to secure a massive legacy for Londoners coming from the 2012 Games. This stunning new landmark will cut existing journey times, link two popular destinations and draw visitors from across the globe."
But some politicians remain doubtful of the economic benefits of the project, which will rise 50m above the river. London Assembly member for City and East John Biggs has labelled it a "tourist attraction" that does not meet the needs of the population of east London.
But that has not deterred Mr Johnson, or TfL bosses.
Howard Smith, one of TfL's chief operating officers, said: "TfL is proud that in such a short period of time we've been able to start main works for the cable car. This scheme offers a great opportunity not only to boost the number of river crossings in London but also promote the regeneration of this part of east London and to support tourism to the Capital."
A team of expert sub-contractors, working for Mace, is building the scheme for TfL.

AT 40 Focus: Britney Spears Invites Marines That Made Video To Her Concert [Video]
The wait is finally over, Britney Spears has embarked on her "Femme Fatale" concert tour.
We found out that when the summer tour hits Anaheim, CA next week, there will be some very 'special guests' in the crowd.
A few months ago a group of Marines based in Afghanistan made a fan video of them lip-syncing to Britney's hit "Hold it Against Me." They posted it to YouTube and it blew up! It got 3.4 million hits and one of those viewers was Brit Brit herself.
She loved the video so much that she is giving all the Marines in the video a chance of a lifetime. She invited them all to bring a guest to the concert and Britney want to meet them all backstage!
The "Femme Fatale" tour is definitely not to be missed, you can expect to see bikes, ninja's and Egyptians!

Presidential Medal of Freedom
Frank Johnson: They set a bomb off under her car port. That was a few years after my father died. She had just gone upstairs from her kitchen and the bomb blew the windows out of the kitchen, all the way across the breakfast room, through the dining room and the other side of the house. She didn't get hurt, and she didn't get scared. She didn't get intimidated. When I went over there a few minutes later, after I'd been called by the FBI, I said, "Mother, you ought to come over and spend the night with us." She said, "I'm not leaving my home. I'm staying right here." She refused to leave. She was a Kirkwood. Scottish. Tough. The FBI never did solve that case until about a year ago. I found out who did it. He was a Klansman. A big Klan leader from over here in Mississippi. He came over here and put it under there. I notified them formally as to who did it and where he lived. He's moved to Virginia now, and he's become an evangelist! Put "evangelist" in quotes. They went up and interviewed him, and I have a copy of the interview. So, he's the one that did it. But they didn't discover it. I found out about it. View Interview with Frank JohnsonView Biography of Frank JohnsonView Profile of Frank JohnsonView Photo Gallery of Frank Johnson
Frank Johnson: I wasn't in the first or second, or third (wave). I went in two days later. But they weren't 300 yards from the beach. So I was in the Normandy invasion in that sense. I helped get through Saint Lo. After we broke through Saint Lo, we went across France. I was in Patton's Third Army. I was a lieutenant in the infantry. I got shot once in Normandy, stayed in the hospital 11 days, went back still with the bandage on. They left the bullet in there. It's still there. They said, "It will take you three months if we operate and cut it out," said "You can get back in ten days if it stays in." So they filled it full of that stuff that was just out, what did they call it then? Powder? Pat you on the rear and you get on back to your crew.

Animation Pioneer
Chuck Jones: Oh, yes. I expected to be fired. In fact, we all wrote our resignations, all of us that worked on the film. We figured the director and the animators would be canned. We figured we'd resign before we got fired. Fortunately, we didn't send them in. Leon came crashing in that day, as he usually did, and we assembled all the troops to watch the picture. And, he came in and went running down the aisle, or plowing down the aisle like a plaid battleship and climbed up on this throne that he'd established at one end of this projection room. It was a gold throne that he'd sit on and every time he got up there'd be gold flakes sticking to his pants. We sat on old pews. Pews that he'd stolen from some Warner Bros. picture. Every time we got up we got up there was splinters in our bum. So we all got something out of the showing. Leon jumped up on his platform and in order to make us feel good he said, "Roll the garbage." That's what he always said. It made you feel like he really cared. So they rolled the garbage, and of course everyone in the studio knew the drama of the situation, so nobody laughed, of course. He didn't care, he didn't pay attention to what anybody else did anyway, or heard. It was only his opinion that counted. So at the end of the picture there was this deathly silence and you could hear crickets, or a horse neying like they do in westerns, and way off in the distance a dog would be wailing our death, but old Leon jumped up and looked around and glared around, and we thought, "Here comes the old ax." And he said, "Jesus Christ, that's a funny voice, where'd you get that voice?" So, that was what it was, and he went to his unjust desserts, doubtless taking his money with him, went to Nineveh and Tyre, but the voice lives on. As long as Daffy Duck is alive, Leon Schlesinger is there, in his corner of heaven.

There's one rule that I feel is vital. It was set down by G.K. Chesterton, who said, "I don't take myself seriously, but I take my work deadly seriously." Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business. Jackie Gleason said it's probably the most difficult and demanding of any form of drama. Because you have an instant critic: laughter. If you don't get that laughter it isn't tragedy. You don't know if people are suffering enough or not in tragedy, but in comedy you know. If you're making it for films, you don't know until you've taken it to an audience. I never had the courage to take any of mine to an audience. I would die. The first picture I ever made, I thought that it wouldn't even move when it got out of there. And they had to lure me out -- I was in a terrible funk -- to go out and see it in front of an audience. It scared the hell out of me. And I pretended like I wasn't there, you know. And so, we were sitting in the balcony in Warner's theater in Hollywood, 1938, and the cartoon came on and there was a little hesitation. And the little girl sitting in front of me said to her mother, she said, "Mommy, I knew we should have come here." You know, "I knew we should have come here." The tenses get all mixed up. But I wanted to adopt her and take her home, because she was laughing at six or eight years old. She was past that terrible age. If she had been five she would have destroyed me.

Music Impresario
Quincy Jones: We were in the heart of the ghetto in Chicago during the Depression, and every block -- it was probably the biggest black ghetto in America -- every block -- it also is the spawning ground probably for every gangster, black and white, in America too. So, we were around all of that. We saw that every day. There was a policeman named Two Gun Pete, a black policeman, who used to shoot teenagers in the back every weekend and everything happened there all the time. A gang on every street: the Vagabonds, the Giles HC, the Scorpions, and just on and on. In each gang they had the dukes and duchesses, junior and senior, which accommodated everybody in the neighborhood. That was the whole idea, for unity, really. Our biggest struggle every day was we were either running from gangs or with gangs. And it was just getting to school and back home. Because if your parents aren't home all day, you know, it's a notorious trek. I still have the medals here from the switchblade through my hand, pinned to a tree. I had an ice pick here in the temple one time. But, when you're young, nothing harms you, nothing scares you or anything. You don't know any better. And in the summertime -- the schools were the roughest schools probably in America. I saw teachers getting hurt and maimed and everything every day, and it was everyday stuff.

I wanted to get out of that house. I didn't want to be there. Eight kids and a stepmother, and I just wanted to be out of there. So, when I got a scholarship from Boston to the Schillinger House, which is now the Berklee School of Music, I couldn't wait to get out of there. And my aunt sent me a ticket by train to go there. I stopped in Chicago and I went into Boston at night -- the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my life. Because it was pitch black and you get there and you've got your trumpet and this little bag, your bag of clothes, not much, no place to stay but I had a scholarship and that was sort of a blanket, a security blanket I could hold on to. And, one thing led to another. I walked around the neighborhood to try to find out where I could stay. I got a place for $10.

Then we hit the road and we'd get to places like Texas. This is when every place had "white" and "colored" to wait in the bus stations and the water fountains, all over America. You couldn't stay in a white hotel anywhere. We played dances in New Orleans and they'd have chairs straight down the middle of the thing with chairs to go both ways, white on this side and that side. Then the places in North Carolina and South Carolina, they'd have $2.50 and $3.50 general admission for the black people, white spectators $1.50. I still have the signs, you know. And they'd sit upstairs and drink and watch the black people dance, you know. It was unbelievable. We played juke joints and people would get shot and we'd go through Texas. We always had a white bus driver because we couldn't stop in the restaurants. And sometimes we'd see effigies -- like black dummies -- hanging by nooses from church steeples in Texas. That's pretty heavy, on the church steeple, and they've got a black dummy, which means "Don't stop. Don't even think about coming here," and the bus kept moving. And then they'd finally get to places where we'd get the driver -- the white driver would go in and get food for the band. And sometimes in Newport News we slept -- I remember Jimmy Scott and I slept in a funeral parlor where the bodies were. There was no hotel so this guy said, "I've got a place. You can stay here these two days." We got $17 a night. You're not thinking about some suite at the Waldorf.

We got a last-minute call one time from the White House to go immediately from Istanbul to Athens, Greece because the Cypriot students were stoning the embassy. Whenever that happened we got called immediately to go in there, and play for these same kids. That was pretty scary because you could feel the energy and the hostility against whatever policy was going wrong at that time, whether it was Beirut and Israel, or the Cypriots and the Greeks. And after that concert, they rushed the stage -- the kids -- and we thought we were in trouble. Instead, they put Dizzy Gillespie on their shoulders and they were just running around the auditorium singing to him and everything else. It was great!

FatCage MB153SP-B 3x3.5" in 2x5.25" SATA Hot Swap HDD Cage
3.5" EZ-Tray Cages
Check "Buy It Now" section for Special Offer!
Review & Press
Buy it Now
Introducing the FatCage MB153SP-B, a 3-in-2 SATA internal RAID backplane for 3.5" SATA hard drives. This is a lite version of the MB45X series by removing the monitoring features and reducing the overall cost, while keeping the same 3 year warranty and the core tray system for hot swapping and maintenance are kept for the best reliability in the market.
Slimmed Down Design
The MB153SP-B has been redesigned to be a lighter module, while maintaining the same level of quality, build, and service you'd expect from an Icy Dock product. While the design has gone through some changes, the space saving design is still established. The backplane module allows up to 3 x 3.5" SATA III hard drives, while only consuming two 5.25" bays. The module has also been redesigned for the type of power connector accepted. 15 pin SATA power is used to provide better accessibility for various host systems.
Efficient Cooling
Along with being a lighter package, the cooling has been improved to provide better air flow to your hard drives. The MB153SP-B uses a full metal body that allows for the best heat dissipation possible in various types of applications. In addition, our enhanced direct air flow design allows the included cooling fan to raise its efficiency to cool down your hard drives, by closing and rerouting any side vents to route incoming air directly to the cooling fan, as well as sealing any vents around the fan for better cooling efficiency. In addition, the backplane logic PCB has larger vents in key areas to allow more air to flow into and exit the MB153SP-B, making it an ideal system to store and cool your hard drives.
The included 80mm cooling fan also can be easily replaced and maintained, as the unit it can be fully removed and replaced with aftermarket cooling fans of the same size. To expand the range of compatible fans, both 2 and 3 pin fan power ports are available and can be easily accessed.
No Hassle Maintenance
The MB153SP-B has kept the same interchangeable EZ-Tray used in MB45X, MB559 and MB561 series. This allows you to continue to use the same trays from these series, or our compatible external 3.5" models without any issues regarding switching to new designs. The EZ-Tray accepts most 3.5" SATA hard drives and is very easy to install / remove to the device in two steps – press the release button and pull / push the lever. This allows for easy replacement in case of RAID failure or transporting of data.

Product Reviews

"Overall the Icy Dock MB153SP-B is a strong unit that is relatively inexpensive. Icy Dock provides an EZ-Tray based enclosure to fit three 3.5″ hard drives into two 5.25″ expansion bay slots. Adding hot swap capabilities always helps as it lowers the chance of accidentally disengaging a drive from a running system. For 7,200rpm drives one is unlikely to want to swap the fan. For slower, cooler drives this may be a strong option."

by Josh Shaman
"The Icy Dock Hot-Swap 3.5" SATA HDD Backplane Module is a solid space-saver that allows users to squeeze three 3.5" SATA HDDs into two 5.25" bays. The unit has some compelling features including indicator lights for each drive and capability for users to easily remove a HDD for maintenance or an upgrade. The street price is reasonable at $65, especially given the included three year warranty. The Icy Dock Hot-Swap 3.5" SATA HDD Backplane Module allows for simple enough installation. Noted above, the build feels tough and the unit has a good practical design for users who are looking to add storage and/or flexibility to their machine."

"A device like the Icy Dock FatCage is great to have around if you are in need of more drive space than you currently have. It only takes you a couple of 5.25" drive bays, which many of us don't use and if we do it's only to employ a single optical drive. And that leaves us with two or more in many mid-size chassis."

"The Icy Dock "FatCage" MB153SP-B is a 3-in-2 internal SATA HDD cage that was designed to save space inside a chassis. The Icy Dock FatCage 3-in-2 SATA device is also designed to save time through a simplified mounting mechanism which is interchangeable with ten other Icy Dock internal and external storage items. To keep temperature levels optimal, Icy Dock has outfitted the FatCage series backplane modules with an 80mm cooling fan which actively cools the drives inside. The durable metal frame of the MB153SP FatCage is not only designed for durability, it also dissipates the heat emitted by the drives installed. The Icy Dock MB153SP FatCage only requires two 15-pin SATA power connectors to fully operate three drives and the active cooling fan, saving overall power. For those worried about thermal conditions, especially when installing inside compared to typical HDD cages."

This is being written to all of you who think you have the greatest love for your husband, wife, children, friend, oh yes, and many of you, for your pets - dogs, cats, or whatever pet you might have.
Well guess again. You have no idea of the kind of love Im talking about. So Ill be telling you.
That love is only the love of God for all who will believe in His Son who He sent to this earth over 2,000 years ago. He told Him to go and die for all of you, even when you might have said, I dont believe in all that stuff you people are always telling us about Jesus coming and dying for all of our sins. Yes, he died for you too!
So really think about it. Who else would do something like that? And who else would send his son to die for you? Could you send your son or daughter to die for someone? Im thinking very hard about this and do not believe I could do that. Of course Im just human, like you. But to think about having our child (male or female) put to death for someone else.
The Bible is Gods love letter to us who will read this and believe in Jesus Christ who died on the cross for all of us. He told us in these scriptures how much He loves us and wants us to be saved and live with Him in eternity.
Me and my big mouth
From: Mary Zimmerman
Me and my big mouth...what do you mean, you say?
If youre wondering where this big mouth topic comes from, its the title of a best seller book written by Joyce Meyer (very informative). We are using this book at the Bible study I belong to as a training session for our tongues, hopefully to receive the wisdom to control and guide our tongues from bondage to freedom.
Thoughts and words are first conceived in the womb of the mind, then born of the tongue, which seems like such a useful part of the body, yet Jesus says the same as for other parts of the body - use them right or get rid of them.
St. Paul says (Ephesians 4:29-31; 5: 1-2) Never let evil pass your lips...get rid of all bitterness...harsh words, slander and malice of every kind... Be imitators of God as His dear children. Follow the way of love, even as Christ loved you.
But there is a reason to speak up at times to correct the one who speaks wrongly, perhaps not to the point of a heated argument, as it sometimes seems fruitless to try to win someone over to the truth which would set them free. Thats where God comes into the picture. Prayerfully seek Gods guidance and intervention then let go and let God.
Actually, we are saying something similar when we pray the Lords Prayer. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Oh, with what conviction we ought to say these words, then we have advanced greatly with our hearts, minds and mouth, dont you think?
Alas, a last we are, with the grace of God, conquering our big mouths. Praise the Lord.

July 11, 2010
( Johnston , RI ) Operation Stand Down Rhode Island announces that the first house in Rhode Island to provide residence for homeless women veterans will be dedicated and named in memory of Marine Corporal Holly A. Charette. The official opening ceremony for the home, located at 22 Milton Street , Johnston , RI 02919 will be held Monday, July 19, 2010 at 1 p.m. Charette's parents, Ed and Regina Roberts and members of the military and community will participate. All are invited to attend. For additional details please contact Anthony DeQuattro, Operation Stand Down President at (401) 286-6699.
Corporal Charette, killed in action at age 21 while serving in Anbar province, Iraq , was the seventh Rhode Islander and the first Rhode Island woman to give her life in duty to her country. Nicknamed "The Marine Who Brings Good News" for her cheery, positive spirit and military occupation as a mail carrier, she had been assigned to checkpoints in Fallujah where she and a group of fellow Marines were struck by a suicide bomber on June 23, 2005 while returning to their base.
Based at Camp Lejeune , N.C. and assigned to Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, Charette who had been in the Marine Corps for three years was posthumously promoted to the rank of Corporal. According to her family, the 2001 graduate of Cranston High School East decided to become a Marine as a result of the events of 9-11.
The new home will be the fourth provided by Operation Stand Down Rhode Island, a non-profit organization founded in 1993 by veterans, for veterans. Currently, 25 men who have served their country reside in the other three houses, located in Johnston (the original located at 1010 Hartford Ave. ), West Warwick (the second that opened, at 790 Providence Street ) and Providence ( Bissell Street , a home specifically for disabled veterans).
"It is very fitting to honor Holly's ultimate sacrifice and courageous, generous spirit by naming this historic home for her," states Anthony DeQuattro, USMC, Operation Stand Down President. "We are deeply humbled to remember her, to extend her love to fellow women veterans by providing this home, and to have the partnership of her family."
Charette's family and friends have established a memorial scholarship in her name, funded by an annual Memorial Motorcycle Run each September and Spirit Run road race held to be held every May. A post office in the City of Cranston was dedicated in her memory in October, 2006.
"The Marine Who Brought Good News" now brings good news to women veterans – the good news that they have a home - and that they will never be forgotten.
Additional information about Operation Stand Down RI can be found at http://www.osdri.com/. Corporal Charette's Memorial Scholarship website is http://hollycharette.webs.com/. Both have pages on Facebook.

Oasis Consumer Healthcare has introduced Halo Oral Antiseptic Spray, which the company said is making a timely debut during a severe flu season.
Supplier News Breaks
CLEVELAND – Oasis Consumer Healthcare has introduced Halo Oral Antiseptic Spray, which the company said is making a timely debut during a severe flu season.
Halo Oral Antiseptic Spray uses a Food and Drug Administration-monographed oral antiseptic ingredient that's clinically proven to kill airborne germs breathed in, providing up to six hours of protection, the company said Tuesday.
With three quick sprays into the back of mouth, the formula creates a coating that catches and kills airborne germs. According to Oasis, Halo has been proven to eliminate a broad spectrum of viruses and bacteria, including influenza, rhinovirus, streptococcus and whooping cough germs.
Scientific and clinical studies supporting Halo's efficacy were conducted at Case Western Medical Center, one of the nation's leading medical research institutions, Oasis noted.
"The flu shot is an important way to avoid getting sick but is not always 100% effective," stated Dr. Mahmoud Ghannoum, the scientist behind Halo and the director of the Center for Medical Mycology at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Case Medical Center. "By using an oral antiseptic spray like Halo, you have a convenient way to combat airborne germs you breathe in. Halo is an important additional tool to in the fight against germs."
Halo Oral Antiseptic Spray is available in the cough and cold section at CVS/pharmacy and other major retailers nationwide in a convenient, travel-size 1 fluid-ounce (30 ml) bottle, providing 35 doses for a suggested retail price of $12.99.
The alcohol-, dye- and sugar-free spray comes in two flavors for adults, berry and citrus, and in a grape flavor for children ages 2 and older. Halo is alcohol-, dye- and sugar-free.

Yo mo,
This is a a dude and a sea monster who were naked in an elevator for hours. Its at U Albany and they thought it was a great idea to get naked in the parking lot and then hang out in the elevator and fuck. I am all for that except for the fact that he fucked the cracken. At like 5 am they found them and he was sitting naked and that thing was rubbing his head. Meth is a hell of a a drug.
- Meeth
Meeth: love the video, hate both of these people. Public sex is something that is meant to be done spontaneously and passionately, but most of all quickly and privately. It's Rule Number 1 of public sex club: Respect the fact that what you're doing is disgusting and leave the scene of the crime as soon as male orgasm has been reached. Everybody knows this. Yet milky thighs Captain Ahab just lies here casually in the elevator after harpooning the great white whale like everything is A-OK. This isn't the old futon in your mom's basement, homeboy. Get your ass up, put a shirt over as many of that thing's rolls as you can, and go do something productive with yourself. We live in a society.

Raphael Vicenzi
Raphael Vicenzi aka MyDeadPony is one of my favorite illustrators. His style reminds me of Yoshi Tajima and maybe a bit less of Gabriel Moreno. Raphael's work has more detail and interesting story added. There's always something in his illustrations that makes me stop for a while. And that's what matters.

Bloomington salutatorian driven to compete, succeed
Sara Sneath
June 3, 2014 at 1:03 a.m.
Brittany Wallace
• College: Victoria College
• Parents: Ronald Wallace and Blanca Wallace
Bloomington High School class of 2014
• WHAT: Bloomington graduation
• WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday
• WHERE: Bobcat Stadium, 200 N. Leonard St.
• CLASS MOTTO: "Nothing we do changes the past - everything we do changes the future."
• CLASS SONG: "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts CLASS COLORS: Lime green, blue, black and silver
• CLASS FLOWER: White rose
Brittany Wallace doesn't look like the competitive type. The 18-year-old from Bloomington is quiet, humble and smart.
But under her well-manicured manners is a drive that's made her an all-star athlete and, most recently salutatorian of her high school class.
"Put her where she's going to compete, and she brings it," Brittany's mother, Blanca Wallace, said.
Brittany and the 43 other graduates of her class have been accepted to Victoria College.
Her mother and father didn't go to college. Both were raised by single mothers and went directly into the workforce after high school.
"They pushed me to get a better education because they didn't get a chance to go to college," Brittany said.
Higher education may not be a part of her family tree but an unyielding work ethic is.
"I would see my daughter come home from a game and stay up into the wee hours of the morning to get her homework done," Wallace said about her daughter. "I just admire her personal drive to be the very best she can be at everything that she participated in."
Though she hasn't decided on a major yet, Brittany is leaning toward a career in the medical field and hopes to play basketball in college.
Brittany's mom isn't too concerned about her daughter starting college without a declared major.
"I just tell her to keep her mind open," Wallace said.
Wallace knows her daughter will excel at whatever career path she chooses. But more importantly, she'll continue to set a good example for her five younger siblings.
"I've always told my daughter, 'No matter where you are in life, I'll always be your biggest fan.' I think a lot of parents would have appreciated raising a Brittany," Wallace said. "We're just really proud of her."

After being on the run for nearly 17 hours, police received a tip that Craedel Cook was at an apartment complex on the 9700 block of Baird Rd. in Shreveport.
He was found hiding in an apartment there just after 7:00 am on Thursday, and was taken into custody.
In addition to his original charges of narcotics possession, resisisting an officer and obsruction of justice, Cook now faces escape charges as well.
ORIGINAL STORY (Wednesday): A prisoner receiving medical care at LSU Health Science Center escaped custody Wednesday afternoon.
Just after 3:00pm, Police officials with the Health Science Center notified the Shreveport Police Department that a prisoner who had been receiving medical care at the hospital escaped.
The prisoner, 39 year old Craedel Cook, was reportedly being guarded by a private security company at the time.
Officials believe that cook ran away from the hospital after somehow managing to distract the guard.
He had been charged on October 13th for possession of a schedule II narcotic, resisting an officer, and obstruction of justice.
He's described as a black man, about 5'9'' tall, weighing approximately 200 lbs. He has a salt and pepper hair and beard. He was last seen wearing a hospital gown and jean shorts.
Authorities believe Cook to be dangerous.
Anyone with any information on his whereabouts is urged to call Shreveport Police at (318) 673-BLUE or 911.

The 6 "Cs" of E-Commerce
e-Commerce is red hot with trend-setting companies like Gilt Groupe, Rent the Runway, Groupon, and others leading the way. To be successful in e-Commerce however, you need to be maniacally focused on the metrics of your business. Here are 6 "Cs" that provide an unparalleled window into the health of your online retail business.
Company Net Promoter Score, or NPS, is a customer loyalty metric developed by Satmetrix, Bain & Company, and Fred Reichheld. This score is determined by posing a simple question to consumers; it's a query designed to screen for customer loyalty. Consumers are asked, "On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely is it that you would recommend our company to a friend or colleague?" Consumers offering a rating of 9 or 10 are anointed "promoters", implying they could heavily promote the company to others. Those who give a rating of 7-8 are "passives"—maybe they might not do anything. Those at the lower end of the scale, with ratings of 0-6, are dubbed "detractors," since they might speak ill of a company and hurt its prospects with other potential customers.
A company calculates its overall net-promoter score by subtracting its percentage of detractors from its percentage of promoters. So, if 65% of an e-commerce firm's customers rank as promoters, and 15% as detractors, the firm's overall NPS would be 50. You should ask every customer this simple NPS question after they've received their shipment.
Track and monitor your NPS every month and discuss it in your management and board meetings. Slice and dice the metric to study specific people who have interacted with your customer-service team or who processed a product return. You'll be surprised by the insights that will jump out. Check out netpromoter.com to compare your score against the best brands on the planet, like Amazon, Apple and Google. Tracking NPS is invaluable.
Customer lifetime contribution, or CLTC. We define CLTC as the net present value (NPV) of the profit from a customer's purchases. Remember to include all the sales that result from a customer's repeat visits, less any associated costs to service the resulting orders (include variable costs like COGS, credit-card processing fees, shipping, warehouse-order processing, etc). A profitable customer will have a CLTC in excess of its customer acquisition cost (CAC). Treat these profitable customers well.
Once you have a good handle on this metric, you shouldn't be afraid to spend until the marginal CAC (your CAC to acquire the next customer) approaches the CLTC of your next incremental customer, even if it costs more to acquire that new customer than you recoup on his or her first purchase. Note: This doesn't mean you should spend until the average CAC approaches your CLTC. Rather, you want to spend to acquire customers until your marginal contribution (CLTC – CAC for each new customer) equals zero. Anything less is under-investing in your business. In the beginning stages when you're not sure what your what your customers' repeat purchasing behavior will be, track your customers Average Order Value (AOV). In fact, AOV is a great leading indicator for CLTC regardless of the stage of your company.
Customer acquisition cost (CAC). This is quite simply your fully-loaded average cost to acquire a new customer. You should track this over time. However, averages can be misleading; not all customers are created equal. You'll always have one group of customers that come back to your site multiple times and are profitable to you. Others may come once, perhaps pick up some of your lower-margin SKUs—and never return. Remember: Your goal is to optimize CLTC minus CAC. This means that trying to keep your CAC down is not always your best bet: Sometimes your better customers (those that return and/or buy higher margin SKUs) are a little more expensive to acquire. But they're worth it. If your current average CLTC is at least 2.5X your average CAC, and most of that comes in year one, you've got enormous upside potential.
Conversion rate. For most e-tailers, the relevant conversion rate is the percentage of new visitors that convert to buyers. Here, traditional blocking-and-tackling concepts like streamlined landing pages and fast page-load times are king. If you want to take this metric to the next level, you should think of your conversion rate as a conversion of visitors to revenue producers (not necessarily to buyers)—or, better yet, to gross profit contributors. Essentially, what you are trying to measure is how much money you make from each visit to your website. It's the equivalent of the eRPM (effective revenue per thousand impressions) most Web publishers use to measure their businesses. But here, we suggest eGPV (effective gross profit per visit). Compare the eGPV for all of your visits, and tweak the site paths that are falling below the average. Adding additional revenue streams such as on site advertising may help to optimize this metric.
Churn. Yes, e-commerce businesses have churn too! This is the percentage of visitors to your site that don't come back to buy anything else. You should also, of course, track the number of monthly visitors who are returning customers.
Cash-conversion cycle and return on capital. Only the simple-minded focus on the P&L statement. No one cares what your profits are if you don't generate any cash flow. Online retail can be tricky because there are lots of ways to burn cash even when you're generating income-statement profits. Inventory and warehouse equipment can consume a lot of cash, particularly during periods of high growth. The best online retailers actually boast a negative cash-conversion cycle. In other words, they get paid by their customers before they have to pay their suppliers. Amazon and Blue Nile have negative cash-conversion cycles, so it's perhaps not surprising that these companies have the most attractive valuation metrics in the online retail industry.
Be aware of this, and make smart tradeoffs between vendor-discounts and stretching payables whenever you can.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 16
Posted By: Cathy, type ODate: Friday, 13 April 2001, at 6:27 p.m.
Is this good for type O? I am too lazy to squeeze lemon juice on my salad (I didn't used to be but now I am). Since other vinegars are too acidic, I picked up some umeboshi from the macro section. I think I read in the macro literature that umeboshi vinegar is alkaline.

[wisb] Cave Swallow - South Metro Pier, Oak Creek

Hi all, I just got a call from Rick Fare. He, Greg Howard and Tim (sorry, didn't get last name) saw the Cave Swallow this morning at South Metro. It finally perched on a pole and gave good looks of the tawny throat and creamy collar. There was no dark on the throat that they could see. I believe Tim was able to get photos, but am not entirely sure of that.

House prices are rising, spring is in the air and the property market is blooming. Estate agency and lettings chain Martin & Co floated on the stock market in December and is ideally positioned to benefit from the new mood. At 129p, the shares offer robust, long-term value.
Martin & Co was founded by entrepreneur Richard Martin in the 1980s. Starting out in Yeovil, Somerset, the business did well and in 1996, the company adopted a franchise model so it could grow at a faster pace without recourse to the banks.
Under this structure, agents run their own businesses but have access to Martin & Co's support and experience in areas such as IT, marketing, shopfitting and training. They also benefit from collective purchasing and in exchange, they give the company 9 per cent of their annual revenues.
The system works in part because many Martin agents come from other professions, ranging from policemen to vicars to tennis coaches. They are looking for change, they want to run their own businesses but they need training and advice to be able to set up and Martin & Co gives provides them with this help. Even seasoned agents like the idea of support from a larger parent and many are given financial help too, particularly in the early years.
The company now has 160 franchisees operating 190 branches from Scotland to Devon. Until recently, the business focused exclusively on letting, working with landlords, finding them tenants and managing their properties. In...

Edoardo Mortara and Valtteri Bottas emerged as early favourites after Thursday action in Macau. Following almost identical times in first free practice the gap between them remained very close also in the first F3 qualifying session. This time the positions were reversed, Mortara edged Bottas by 0.113 and claimed provisional pole position.
2010 Macau GP – Qualifying 1 Times:
1. Edoardo MORTARA – 2:13.068
2. Valtteri BOTTAS +0.113
3. Marco WITTMANN +0.525
4. Laurens VANTHOOR +0.857
5. Carlos HUERTA +0.975
6. Renger VAN DER ZANDE +0.994
7. Felipe NASR +1.149
8. James CALADO +1.198
9. Alexandre IMPERATORI +1.247
10. Daniel ABT +1.444
11. Oliver WEBB +1.598
12. Jean-Eric VERGNE +1.683
13. Will BULLER +1.787
14. Antonio DA COSTA +1.951
15. Yuhi SEKIGUCHI +2.060
16. Hideki YAMAUCHI +2.141

27. Rafael SUZUKI +5.391
28. Adderly FONG +5.874
29. Daniel JUNCADELLA +7.824
30. Michael HO +9.604
Almost immediately after Mortara set that provisional pole position time, Carlin's Jazeman Jaafar crashed at Fishermen's Bend – leaving his car stranded near the barriers on the inside of the track and bringing out the yellow flags.
Those caution flags meant drivers were unable to improve on their fastest times before the end of the session – meaning that Mortara's best effort was enough to keep him 0.113 seconds ahead of Bottas.
"I'm happy to be first, but I don't really care about the times at the moment. Today is all about getting prepared for qualifying and the race. I'm feeling good so let's see what we can do tomorrow." – Edoardo Mortara
"It was a bit of a shame with the yellow flags because the car felt good and there is plenty of time still to come. I used the same tyres as this morning so I know second qualifying will be quicker." – Valteri Bottas
The session was red flagged after 14 minutes when Daniel Juncadella hit the wall at Fishermen's Bend. There was a short delay while his car was retrieved and the barriers were fixed.
Both Sato and Abt who crashed in the first practice session managed to get their cars together for the second session.

Same goes here...y'all stay safe and sound no matter what your beliefs. We celebrated Yule this year. I've become more modular with age. It's still the season...a season for thankfulness, family, to reiterate our beliefs, to see the short days become long again. A time to show love for life, and a yearning for it to grow once again. To forget the past and breathe the air of the future and decide what we'll want to make of it. May God bless all.
Yes, Merry Christmas to you and yours Bunny, and to all the members of DefensiveCarry.com.
And Happy New Year!

Turn the election's in 2014 to a "2A Revolution". It will serve as a 1994 refresher not to "infringe" on our Second Amendment. We know who they are now.........SEND 'EM HOME. Our success in this will be proportional to how hard we work to make it happen.
Merry Christmas to all and I hope everyone has a safe, happy and healthy New Year ahead.
Merry Christmas...Happy Hanukkah...Happy Holiday's to all of you!
This is has been a great year of meeting new friends on this forum and I look forward to many more.
God Bless!

Same here. Merry Christmas to everyone!
