The Expatriate
"The Expatriate" is the fourth of Julius Horwitz's stories of urban Jewish life to appear in COMMENTARY.
The first thing he did when he stepped off the hot grimy train was to go to the public washroom and clean up. Then, while waiting for his luggage to come up from the baggage car, he got on the phone and started calling his friends. It had been over a year since he had heard from any of them and he was anxious to know how they were making out After all, he had grown up with them and they were still his closest friends. During the war they kept in constant touch with one another. One couldn't sit over a salami sandwich and a cup of hot tea and argue destiny, so one wrote letters. Letters that were forwarded from every part of the world, letters that were often retyped into a dozen carbons, and so reached the whole gang.
But now the war was over and nobody wrote letters any more. Letter-writing had died in the same imperceptible manner as their solemn wartime pledges to change the face of the earth. And now, instead, whenever he came into town, once, maybe twice a year, there was a general get-together. His friends chipped in for a couple of cases of beer, some whisky, port wine, invited their wives, girl friends, and spent the night spouting half-remembered college texts reimpressing themselves with their awful hate of the world. . . .
"Hello-is that you Irv?"
"Sol! What the hell are you doing in town?"
"I'm in for my sister's wedding."
"Good deal—listen—I'll get hold of everybody. We'll have a party tonight At Pete's house. His place is open house now."
It was that simple. They were always ready for a party. What else was there to do in Detroit?
Strange, how all during the week he was making plans to leave New York, his friends had been constantly on his mind. Perhaps because this time he had been away longer and had heard less news. Often during the day and just before he fell asleep he would think about his trip and imagine how various of his friends would act For the first time, he had the uneasy feeling, somehow, that he was returning to an alien world. He knew that he had made the break—that his friends still lived with their families and only Irv and Pete had married, and they too, despite their marriages, were still all tied up with their families. Last trip he had noticed how they were sinking into the emptiness of their home town. They felt it, too. Of course, Pete talked a different line. "This is where the real people live," Pete would say, "right here on our block. I wouldn't move for all the dough in the world. These are my people. Flesh and blood. Everything else is phoney. . . ." The others complained openly that Detroit was a desert. But they never tried to lift themselves out of the neighborhood life they were entangled in. . . .
Of course, the neighborhood wasn't a bad place to live in for the men who went forth daily on the morning tide to their tailor shops, dry-goods counters, grocery stores, factory benches, the big ugly dark industrial plants, airless offices—and on the ebb tide came home tired, ate, read the news that never seemed to affect them personally, talked a little to their wives, and then went to sleep in their nice roomy, detached houses on streets lined with trees. But for those who had wanted something better than this workaday round, who had considered themselves intellectuals of a sort, what kind of life was that for them?
Sol hurried out of the Union Station. The downtown section was just beginning to crowd up with people. He wondered what it would be like to get off the dismal streetcar coming from his neighborhood, take an elevator up to a business office, careful of his shoe shine, choice of tie, matching socks, his ideas, work eight hours, take the same elevator down, take the same dismal streetcar home, five days a week, forever, until he died. When he had come home from the army this was a hungry sight. But now—
The party began early that evening, and was already well under way when Sol walked in. There were a lot of unfamiliar faces, people holding glasses, people lined up neatly on the Regency sofa, against the sparsely filled bookcases. But he quickly picked out the faces he had known from grade-school days. Irv poured him a shot of whisky. Sol drank it straight and then took his time looking around the room, to get a sense of how he stood.
Pete asked, coming up to Sol, "Does everybody in New York wear those miserable looking cotton cord suits? It looks like a street-cleaner's uniform to me." No hello. No handshake.
Sol had a feeling what was coming next.
"At what bargain counter did you pick up the suit?"
Sol knew that none of his Detroit friends wore cord suits. They disapproved of them—they were made of cotton, didn't keep a crease, weren't sharp—nuts—the whole thing was ridiculous! He had bought it at Macy's because it was a damn sensible outfit to wear for the hot New York summers. What kind of junk was this, being attacked for the suit he wore? Especially after he hadn't seen Pete in over a year.
"Who're you trying to fool, Sol!" Pete persisted. "You know you don't belong in a suit like that!"
They did! He didn't! They should be studying at Columbia, not him! They should be living in New York, not him!
"Look, you goddamn fool!" Sol sharply said to Pete. "If you can't talk to me straight like a mensh without making a lot of stupid remarks about the clothes I wear then you can go straight to hell!" Pete stopped short He had expected Sol to acquiesce; it was a game they played.
Sol's outburst didn't go unnoticed. So Sol was on his high horse. There was a sense of battle lines being drawn.
The talk now became vague, nobody really said anything. Bernie stood in the comer with a stupid beery grin on his face saying, "I love my wife, I love my wife more than anything else in the world. My wife is my whole world to me. . . ." Sol wondered how drunk he really was. His wife was nothing extraordinary. A girl, what else?
Irv took Sol into the kitchen. Pete, Harry, Morrie, Dave sat down around the kitchen table. Irv tried to pin Sol down on what he had accomplished in New York, red ink, black ink. Sol felt himself slipping. He knew he was selling himself too hard. That was a mistake. Now was the time for him to be on guard. These people, his friends around the kitchen table, they no longer understood what was on his mind. Stupid to continue to talk about himself—to try to find among these faces an audience for his experiences, more important, his expectations. . . .
"Tell me-how's New York? Making a lot of money?"
"Whatta you doing Sol, still living in the same old hole?"
"Why don't you get out of that crazy town?"
Question, answer. They weren't expressing their true feelings—perhaps they didn't understand themselves. But Sol felt he knew what the tribe was up to. This fellow Sol Katz, they were saying. This outsider!
The party broke up at two in the morning. Sol wasn't sorry about telling Pete to go to hell, but they had parted, on the surface, as friends. "We can't quarrel over a thing like a suit, you're my buddy, my friend," Pete told Sol when the party came to an end.
On Sol's last night in town his mother invited all of the relatives over to the house and there was a general get-together for his newly married sister. The dining room table was piled high with every kind of delicacy, the kind that Sol could only afford on rare occasions when his money permitted a Delancey Street feast. As soon as the party began to die down, Sol drove over to Pete's house—one of his cousins dropped him off. Irv and his wife were over, Pete had told him over the phone, we can talk a little before you catch your train.
Sol felt glad he was going to see Irv again before he left. He and Irv had been friends ever since they were old enough to enter grade school. Of course, by now they had drifted apart, but they were still best friends. And to be a best friend has a very definite meaning. The highest relationship of your life. . . .
Pete, his wife, Irv and his wife, the four of them were playing rummy when Sol walked in. They didn't lay down their cards. Sol busied himself studying Irv's hand. He expected they would stop when the deal ran out. Instead, Pete picked up the cards and shuffled them, dealing out a new hand. Sol realized he had been looking forward to a kind of last-minute friendly confab. Well, this wasn't it. It was sure a cold welcome, especially after coming from a house full of relatives, laughing, joking, eating the strudel his mother had baked, listening to the Yiddish records he had brought home from Clinton Street. . . .
Sol walked over to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of beer. Surely they weren't angry because of last night. That would be too much! The night before the five of them had been discussing extra-sensory perception till three in the morning at Irv's apartment. Sol had argued that there are curious facts in the world, events outside our ordinary experience that demand honest investigation. Irv and Pete had argued that these curious facts were nothing but accidents. Sol had laughed in their faces. "These facts have been recorded," Sol had told them. "Don't be goofs." And now the card game.
It was already past 1: 30. Pete dealt a new hand. They gave no sign of intending to give up their card game. If they did have something they wanted to talk about it was too late now, Sol told himself. He had a 6:45 train to catch in the morning. Sol mentioned his train. He waited, expecting Irv to say he would drive him home. Irv picked up the discarded cards and shuffled the deck as though he hadn't heard a word. He flipped out the cards, seven to a player. The cards fell silently on the kitchen table. And then Sol realized what it was all about—
This was it. Pete and Irv had asked him to leave his mother's house so that they could pay him off, and send him crawling back to New York. What else? In the world he had grown up in, if you have an automobile and your friend does not, then you drive him home.
But why this game of cards? Words would be much better. Then they could spew out their hate! The whole thing was too damn funny—. But he couldn't resist being caught up in the excitement of the drama. He walked over to the telephone. They all looked up from their cards.
"What's the number of the local cab company?" he asked Pete.
"Woodward 3-7000."
Sol dialed the number. Each turn of the dial filled the room. He knew he was being melodramatic, forcing a crisis—he could easily have walked to the comer and hailed a cab there. Sol wondered what would be the first word said after he finished dialing the number. But nothing would be said. That was the way the game was played. For an instant he felt like fighting it out with them, tooth and nail, laying the whole business bare, his life against theirs. But what would be the use? This was the end of an era. These people had been a very real part of his life. Now he knew that he could never be with them again and for a moment he felt a little sad. Well, he had known that something like this would happen on the trip. At least now he knew in what direction he had to keep going.

A sojourn to Duke Farms would be incomplete without a visit to the Hay Barn. One of "Duke's Park's" original structures, the building was consumed by fire in 1915, leaving just the stone and brick walls. Decades later, Doris Duke collected many of the marble statues from around the estate inside the open-roofed structure, creating a contemplative sculpture garden.

I should have said Taiwan and the US in the post above.
The reason for the Taiwan reference is this:

"Apple was forced to comply with local Consumer Protection Taiwanese laws".

Re: iCloud Storage Upgrade refund in response to CCrefund
Yes! It can be done.
You must like playing games and searching for treasure in a hidden box
in another country.
Be persistant.
In the UK start by phoning 0800 048 0408.
Keep talking naturally, even though there is not the option you want.
Eventually you will you get through to a real person.
They're Irish and pleasant and helpful.
Ignore the first advice from Colleen to go to iCloud on your phone
and cancel there. It cannot be done on the phone!
If you tell her you have already tried that she will get someone to call you back.
The unnecessary upgrade was cancelled.
In future I will ignore the pestering and misleading e-mails urging me to upgrade.
The free storage is enough for many people like me.
Only upgrade when you need to.

Re: iCloud Storage Upgrade refund in response to CCrefund
My problem (I have others) is that I purchased iCloud extra storage thinking I could put any files there. I wanted an on-line store for precious family photos in case my computer was stolen or something. I figured photo files from Aperture and iPhoto would sync just like Pages or Numbers files. No, they don't. So, having bought shed loads of iCloud storage, it's useless.
Anyway, I now know I can legitimately request a refund within 15 days of purchase but you are right in saying it's hard to obtain.
My solution: I went on 'Live Chat' at Apple Customer Services. The person there gave me a link to 'iTunes Store Billing' and I have requested a refund from there.
So, no actual satisfactory result and no refund as yet.
Work in progress.

Re: iCloud Storage Upgrade refund in response to Thatblokeoverthere
Actually I use iCloud to backup and host ALL my pictures from every iOS device I own. In fact I have 19GB of photos on there now. I can easlily share them with anyone I want by creating a specific photo stream for a set of photos, each stream can hold 1000 photos. There are viewable on Mac, PC, iOS, or any web browser even if the receiver does not have an iCloud account. On top of that, any photo I add to my iphoto library through a mac, is added to the main photo stream.
Regardless of photo streams and how you use them, icloud STILL backs up every single photo I take automatically and with out issue.
Thatblokeoverthere Mar 12, 2013 2:08 PM
Re: iCloud Storage Upgrade refund in response to CCrefund
I phoned Apple, they were very helpful. No question, no difficulties. Refund immediately and a confirming email. All done!
I tried to beat the system with iCloud and Photostream. I created more than one stream but the whole thing copped out when I got to about 1000 pics. It seemed like such a good idea to me. However, I have done some thinking, restored photostream to where it was before and got a refund from Apple (who were great!).
I think it might have been a silly idea anyway. I checked my photo library and discovered 500gB so maybe a stack of DVDs as a long-term backup and a 1Tb attached to the Mac. Another alternative might be a remotely sited network drive. Saw some Seagate ones on offer in Maplin. Any opinions?
(Maybe this discussion needs to move elsewhere). Thanks to all who contributed.

Latest Single stage to orbit Stories
Project Orion would have used a series of dropped atomic bombs to propel itself upwards - all the way to Mars. Here's the story of how it would work and why it was scrapped.
New aerospike engine will do for space travel what the jet engine did for air travel NEW YORK, Mar.
WASHINGTON, Dec.
NASA's flying saucer-shaped test vehicle is ready to take to the skies from the U.S. Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai, Hawaii, for its first engineering shakeout flight.
NASA's X-43A shattered existing speed records for aircraft with air-breathing engines on March 27, 2004, when the scram-jet powered plane reached Mach 6.83 - 4,900 miles per hour - during a brief flight over the Pacific Ocean.
How to design a hypersonic airplane that travels from Beijing to New York in only two hours? Dr. Cui Kai and his group from State Key Laboratory of High Temperature Gas Dynamics, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences set out to tackle this problem.
NASA commercial crew partner Blue Origin of Kent, Wash., announced it has tested a new, hydrogen- and oxygen-fueled engine designed to lift the company's crewed Space Vehicle on future missions out of Earth's atmosphere.
The UK government has announced plans to invest in the development of an air-breathing rocket engine – intended for a single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane – following the ESA-managed feasibility testing of essential technology.

Arx Fatalis
- Platforms: PC, Xbox

- Genre: RPG
- VN:F [1.9.22_1171]User Score: 0 votes
- Add to MyGames
Arx Fatalis is a first-person RPG, which plunges the player into an amazingly complex fantasy world. Arx Fatalis combines intelligent storyline with impressive medieval surroundings. The user-friendly interface allows the highest interactivity possible. Arx Fatalis creates a state of intense immersion that allows the player to feel that all his actions have a direct consequence in the Arx game world.
The goal of the game is to destroy the secret cult of Akbaa: the god of devastation and chaos, and thereby prevent his return to the physical world. Should the player fail, the demon is bound to impose his reign of terror upon Arx. The player, assuming the role of the potential hero, fights inside an underground fortress using wooden clubs, swords and magical items to defend himself against creatures including goblins, trolls, ratmen and other vicious opponents. But, brute force is not always the best way to succeed and the player has at his disposal the innovative new "onscreen gesture based magic system" to assist him in his progress through the game. Using the mouse, burning runes can be drawn in mid-air. A series of these gestures combine to create powerful magic spells that will protect the player or empower him to defeat his enemies and pursue his quest

Arx Fatalis
RPG is basically a game type that requires time and dedication to keep the games interested until the end, and time is something that I don't really have. Still this has been a nice introduction to the genre, and I'm sure this game will stay on my HD for sick/holidays.

5 Ways Cancer Caregivers Can Avoid Burn Out
Here are five ways cancer caregivers can avoid burn out based on tips from those who have fought–or are still fighting–the cancer battle with their loved one.
Seattle, Wash. (PRWEB) March 01, 2013
5 Ways Cancer Caregivers Can Avoid Burn out
When a loved one is fighting cancer, it´s easy to overlook the load caregivers often face. Not only do they shoulder the responsibility of caring for the patient (sometimes around the clock), but they also juggle a combination of kids, work and, in some cases, aging parents. The responsibilities can be overwhelming under the best of circumstances. It´s no wonder that the stress of always being "the strong one" can lead to burn out.
In a recent national online survey, Cancer Treatment Centers of America® asked caregivers from across the country for their best advice about how to cope, reduce stress and stay sane. Here are five ways cancer caregivers can avoid burn out based on tips from those who have fought–or are still fighting–the cancer battle with their loved one.
Put on your own oxygen mask before you help others with theirs.
First and foremost, take care of yourself. That starts with getting plenty of rest and eating right. Set aside time for yourself and spend it however you want — not how someone else thinks you should. It´s normal to feel helpless at times. You may be laughing one minute and crying the next. Go for a run. Turn up the music. Scream until you can´t scream anymore. Schedule time for your favorite yoga class. Take a bath. Read a good book. Go to church. Dig in the garden. Spend an evening out with friends. Wander into a café and enjoy a cup of coffee at your own speed.
Being a caregiver can be exhausting. Do whatever feels right for you when it comes to recharging your batteries and don´t feel guilty. What´s good for you is good for the patient, your family and your work/career.
Stop being so polite. Ask for help.
No one is coming to your rescue if they don´t know you need help. Asking for help doesn´t indicate a lack of love or concern for the patient. It´s just the opposite: It shows you care enough to realize you can´t do it all alone and you want the best for the patient. "Of all the lessons I´ve learned in this year of our ℠Fourth Tour of Duty,´ I needed to learn to ask for and receive help," said one respondent.
Another respondent offered this piece of wisdom: "Actively employ the most positive, least dramatic friends. Make it easy for them. Be clear about what exactly can be done to help, when and how."
Let things slide.
Be patient with yourself and your loved one. Give yourself permission to let some things in your life slide and replace them with joyous small moments: A kiss on the forehead, a whisper of love, a long hug, a good cry. Make your time together a priority. It´s the little things in life that usually lead to the greatest joys.
Ask questions and keep it real.
"I would have liked to know things to watch for and what to expect"¦to be able to accept what was to come and not just see what I wanted to see," said one caregiver.
While it´s important to listen to the patient and let them make as many decisions as possible, get yourself comfortable with knowing how to take control when needed. Keep a running list of questions so you are armed with good information. You are the patient´s ears. That can be important when it´s time to make treatment decisions. Another caregiver shared this advice for navigating difficult conversations: "I tried to always present the pro´s and con´s of any issue so that my sister could make an informed, educated decision for her treatment. I led the conversation at times into waters that may not have been comfortable but were necessary to navigate."
Connect with other caregivers who know what you´re going through.
Caregiving can be as isolating as it is emotionally draining. There is no school for learning how to cope with the responsibilities and stress. Join a cancer support group to share your thoughts and feelings in a safe environment, and to learn from other people who can immediately relate to your situation. If a support group isn´t your speed, find other ways to get together with survivors. Check with your church, MeetUp.org, local university or do a Google search. Survivors need survivors. You´ll find comfort among people who understand your position– they´re the only ones who truly understand. Make the effort. It will pay off.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America offers many opportunities for patients and their caregivers to connect with others and find support, including onsite patient and caregiver support groups, as well as the Cancer Fighters® program. Cancer Fighters® was created for and by our patients, their families and friends to support one another to win the fight against cancer. It is a community of inspiration for people who have been touched by cancer. Cancer Fighters are patients, family members, caregivers and friends of the CTCA community.

The Show-Me Guard Officer Leadership Development Program (GOLD) began at Southeast Missouri State University during the Fall Semester 2013. This program allows students to earn a degree while serving as future officers in the Missouri National Guard.
Participation in the Show-Me GOLD program provides students with professional development and leadership training that will become a valuable tool for students throughout their college career, in their civilian careers, and in their future careers as officers in the Missouri National Guard.
The Missouri National Guard recognizes the importance of education and established policy to ensure that students participating in the program are non-deployable. All students must remain in good standing with both the Show-Me GOLD Program and the University.
Students enroll in one of the many academic majors offered by Southeast Missouri State University and in the officer-training program. Officer training consists of credit-bearing classroom instruction (military science classes), leadership laboratories, field training exercises, and physical fitness training.
Participants in the program must satisfy admissions standards of both Southeast Missouri State University and the Missouri Army National Guard. Those who qualify for any of the academic scholarships awarded through the college of their attendance will be eligible to apply those benefits to books, fees and room/board expenses.
Please use the links under the Show-Me Gold heading to navigate through the Show-Me Gold site.

In fact, the soup is so indulgent, servers often caution the uninitiated. I've been told: "It has a creamy white cheddar cheese base."
My reply is always the same: "Bring it on."
I'm also going to miss the tomatillo enchiladas at Gabbi's Mexican Kitchen, the blackened shrimp tacos at Taco Mesa (topped with tons of cheese) and the Vampire (spinach and cheese) Dip at Slater's 50/50.
I know we're not alone when it comes to food addictions. Everyone has a meal or beverage they crave.
A Double-Double at In-N-Out Burger. Ice cream. Chocolate chip cookies.
I asked my Facebook followers earlier this month what foods they would have trouble going without – even for one day.
While I could identify with most of the 82 responses (coffee, pizza, bacon), some eating habits gave me pause.
How hard is it to give up El Torito when we have dozens of superior Mexican restaurants in Orange County?
But every eater has an Achilles' heel. Here are a few of yours.
Phil Knoke: "I find it the hardest to give up potatoes, no matter how they are prepared – roasted w/ olive oil and rosemary, baked nice and warm and topped with butter, chives, cheese & bacon, a crisp French fry that is seasoned just right with the perfect amount of crunch and creaminess, or just a good ole fashioned potato chip."
Nikki Eikenbary: "I once gave up pork for Lent; it was harder than giving up swearing! It's absolute torture to go to Super Mex and not be able to eat a carnitas burrito!!"
Shawna Hemstreet: "I gave up all meat two years ago for Lent and never went back. This year, I will give up all dairy and animal products and all fast food! Only homecooked meals for Lent!"
Linda Ivanov: "Grande cafe latte at Starbucks. I am addicted to the creamy foam and strong coffee topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon. It is such a ritual to stop by Starbucks, grab a latte and morning cookie – it will be difficult to drive on by and dream of my favorite morning hot drink."
Trace Weatherford: "Coffee – more specifically espresso – because, I tell you, regardless of religion, motivation or incentive, I could not, would not, even try to give up my daily dose of espresso (2-3 shots a day in the morning, 365 days a year)."
Tom Beeman: "For me, giving up Chick-fil-A would be hard. I get sick of eating just cereal for breakfast, so at least a couple of days a week I ahead over there for their chicken biscuits because they are so tasty and it's so different than any other fast-food breakfast."

Top location, old town is really 10 minute walking distance. Ben Jehuda street is also very close. Bus stop at the hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Rich breakfast. Would return to this hotel. Price is fair. We were upgraded without request so had sofa bed for our grand-daughter."

AJK1 - I hate to respond to such a blatant flame, but weren't you the one who several weeks ago posted that adding weight to the butt of a racquet reduced the swingweight (a blatantly and obviously false statement)? To me that brings your credibility into question when you accuse someone else of making statements that are "full of holes". Did you get that info from your racquet tech as well? And honestly, I don't know why you're coming after Amone here. I don't really see him making any bold statements - he's simply taken formulas provided by others and tried to make a spreadsheet for people to more easily utilize said formulas. Where's the harm in that? If, as you say, this is all horribly false information, then at worst people who try to use it will waste a few dollars on lead tape and then abandon the experiment. Your point seems to be that this is all worthless; if that's the case, then you probably don't need to post anything other than "This info is worthless". You've used a lot more space but you really haven't said anything other than that. So, essentially, you think this is worthless. Ok, I think we get it.

When we heard Microsoft was holding a press event called "Give Hotmail a Second Look," we wondered if a full-on redesign was in store. The answer happens to be a resounding "no," but the software giant is rolling out a raft of new features to its 365 million-some-odd users. This includes an Android app with two-way email, contact and calendar syncing (!), along with a slew of updates to Hotmail's web interface. First up, you can now automatically categorize incoming mail as newsletters, and then either trash 'em or sweep them to a folder. Additionally, an "Unsubscribe" feature lets you do just that, with Hotmail handling the dirty work of blocking future newsletters from that sender, as well as asking the company to kindly stop spamming you. Moving along, flagged messages will now sit at the top of the inbox so that they don't get lost in the morass of incoming mail. If you like, you can program Hotmail to automatically flag messages with a particular subject line, from a certain sender, et cetera. Meanwhile, "Scheduled Cleanup" automatically deletes messages after a certain number of days have passed -- a good way to cut through that pile of unused Groupon alerts. Other updates include the ability to manage and edit folders and apply categories to individual emails -- all inline. And, last but not least, you'll now see so-called Instant Actions (e.g., "delete," "flag") when you hover over messages. We've got a few screenshots below, and you can also hit the source link for some extra details, straight from the horse's mouth.
Update: We've added a few screenshots for the Android app!

DIY Letter Desk

Turn an old baby changing station into a functional DIY Letter Desk with this tutorial from Cristin Frank. With some basic construction tools and some patience, you can create a desk that's unique and budget-friendly. Every baby changing station is different, so it is possible your desk won't turn out exactly like this one, but this is a good guide on how to transform an average piece of furniture into something useful and fuctional.
- Baby changing table (shop at thrift stores)
- Wood glue
- Construction tools
I used wood glue to assemble it since it didn't come with the original screws. The wood glue worked great since it has a tongue and groove construction.
Since I needed an open front on one side for a desk chair, I used a jigsaw to convert the second shelf into an open storage unit.
I used small L-brackets to create the corner in the shelf and to attach the right, vertical piece to the underside of the desktop. These L-brackets were repurposed from a crib I also garbage picked (pretty handy!)
- I attached the corner bracket on the outside and the top bracket on the inside of the cubbie.

Crash.Net ALMS News
Lehto, Herbert just Champion in Miami
28 September 2003
Johnny Herbert and JJ Lehto scored their third American Le Mans Series win of the season by driving the ADT Champion Racing Audi R8 to victory in the Grand Prix Americas presented by
on the streets of downtown Miami.
The win, while valuable for the Finn's championship chances, was extra sweet for Champion team owner Dave Maraj, who bases the team in nearby Pompano Beach, and for team sponsor ADT, also headquartered in the Miami area.
"The track was very slippery at the start, but I didn't have any real problems," Lehto said, "It's been a perfect
weekend for Team ADT Champion Racing. We started from
outright pole for the first time this season, won
our 'local' race, set the fastest race lap and have moved
closer in the championship. We were on the pace from the
start and deserved our third win of the season - perfect!"
The winning car finished 40.642secs ahead of the Infineon Team Joest Audi R8 of Frank Biela and Marco Werner although, with their second-place finish, the two Germans moved closer to winning the LMP 900 title. Only Lehto has any chance of unseating them in the season-ending Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta next month, but must win that race too.
The first and second-place cars ran the two-hour, 45-minute race on one fuel stop, each planning its race strategy on the high likelihood of numerous yellow flag laps on the tight 1.15-mile street circuit. In the end, only 36 of the 157 race laps were run under caution, but the yellows were spaced far enough apart for the strategies to work.
"We did plan it that way, and it worked in our favour," said Herbert, who drove nearly two hours of the race, "We still had to save fuel in the last part of the race, so we had to back off a bit. That saved so much fuel that we could finish. It was perfect for us. We had some fuel in the end - I got the final warning light about one lap from the finish.
"The pit-stop was a little nerve-wracking when some fuel caught fire, which delayed JJ from strapping me in. It also caused me to get a little hot! In terms of the car, though, everything ran perfectly without any problems.
"It's massive for Dave Maraj and the team. He tells me he could have gone cruising in the Caribbean, but he chooses to do this because he loves motorsports. It's great that we can both give him this victory down here. We get all the glory, but the team does all the work."
The Panoz LMP01 of Olivier Beretta and David Saelens finished third in the LMP 900 class for JML Team Panoz, extending their record run of podium finishes in recent events.
The Dyson Racing Lola EX257-MG of Chris Dyson and Andy Wallace won the LMP 675 class, but only took the lead near the end of the race after the Dyson Racing sister car driven by James Weaver and Butch Leitzinger experienced a drivetrain problem while at the head of the class. Weaver and Leitzinger still finished second in class, albeit two laps behind Dyson and Wallace, following the lowly finish of the rebuilt Intersport entry. The two Dyson cars had battled among themselves for a great portion of the race, with the veteran Wallace raving about the track afterward.
"Its really good fun to drive here, even though it seems crazy sometimes," he said, "I enjoy street circuits and I like this track. I don't get to race enough of them. It keeps you awake, that's for sure."
Dyson's win, coupled with the fourth-place class finish of nearest challengers Duncan Dayton and Jon Field, moved him closer to winning the LMP 675 class championship.
"I'm not sure yet how we will go into the Petit," he admitted, "but this should give us a bit of a comfort zone going into the last race. The bigger the lead the better."
It was a great day for Ferrari too, as cars from the Italian manufacturer swept the top three spots in the GTS class - the first time that has happened in ALMS history.
The Prodrive Ferrari 550 Maranello of David Brabham and Darren Turner took the class win, with the other Prodrive entry of Tomas Enge and Peter Kox 1.778secs behind in second place. The Team Olive Garden Ferrari of Mimmo Schiattarella and Emanuele Naspetti took full advantage of an uncharacteristically bad race for the Corvette team to finish third.
The win was the third straight for Brabham in the GTS class, while Turner, who was substituting for Jan Magnussen as the Australian's team-mate, scored his first career ALMS win.
"It was a very difficult race with the traffic and the conditions," said Brabham afterwards, "It was hard to pass and then it started raining right at the end and parts of the track were slick. I have to thank Darren, though, who did a great job for us."
"It was my first street race and I really liked it," said Turner, who won in only his second ALMS start after debuting at Sebring earlier in the year, "It seemed that the traffic really worked well for me during my stint. I got very hot in the car and needed to get out, but then I was disappointed when they told me David would finish and I
wouldn't get back in."
Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell finished fourth in class after a multitude of problems during the race, but still managed to lock up the GTS class title for the season.
Sascha Maassen and Lucas Luhr won the GT class in the Alex Job Racing Porsche 911 GT3 RS, with the veteran German claiming his 20th win in ALMS competition and an early 34th birthday present.
The race had boiled down to a battle between the two Alex Job cars, and Maassen and Luhr won after Jorg Bergmeister clipped a wall while leading Luhr near the end of the race.
"Our sister car lost the rear end and crashed, which threw the win away," Luhr reported, "I was right behind him when he crashed and I couldn't believe it. Then I had to be careful to keep from crashing too. I had a hard time keeping the car on the track [in the rain] at the end."
Finishing second in the GT class was the Risi Competizione Ferrari 360 Modena of Anthony Lazzaro and Ralf Kelleners, with third going to the PK Sport Porsche of Robin Liddell and Alex Caffi.

Please note that the Lion Brand Yarn Company will be performing inventory from Tuesday, June 2nd through to Friday, June 5th. Regular shipping will resume Sunday, June 7th. We ask for your patience regarding the shipment of orders during this time. Thank you for your understanding!
SKILL LEVEL: Beginner (Level 1)
SIZE: One Size
HAT Finished Circumference About 20 1/2 in. (52.5 cm), will stretch to fit a range of sizes. Finished Height About 11 1/2 in. (29 cm) SCARF About 7 x 66 in. (18 x 167.5 cm)
Featuring basic garter stitch, this beginner project is a great first project for any knitter.
9 stitches = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit all stitches in every row). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
9 stitches = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit all stitches in every row).
If making Hat only, you will need about 2 balls of yarn; for Scarf only you will need about 3 balls. If making both Hat and Scarf, make the Hat first then use all remaining yarn to make Scarf.
HAT Cast on 46 stitches.Work in Garter stitch (knit all stitches in every row) until piece measures about 11 1/2 in. (29 cm) from beginning. Bind off. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail.
FINISHINGThread yarn tail into blunt needle, then in and out along bound-off edge. Pull to gather for top of Hat. Knot securely, then use same yarn tail to sew seam. Thread yarn ends into blunt needle, then weave into Hat.
SCARF Cast on 15 stitches.Work in Garter stitch (knit all stitches in every row) until about 2 yards (2 meters) of yarn remains. Bind off.
FINISHING Thread yarn ends into blunt needle, then weave into Scarf.

Wii U
Post Update, Wii U Not Working for Me
Note: I'm asking about MY system and me. I'm not making a blanket assumption about Wii U, etc. so if any thought the update might have done something offends you go slog off in the corner. For those who know even the best products can break occasionally...
Post update i downloaded two VC games, and Rayman Demo (New) and the Panorama things. Anyway, after i downloaded them i didn't play anymore. Right now i turned on the system and it was super slow booting up. I tried then to do the transfer of data in MH and the 3DS is not seeing the WiiU Wireless. Then cancelling on the WiiU cancels the system.
Trying to reboot it wouldn't boot up. I then tried again and it did, but tried to go to system settings to check wireless but it crashed.
Anything anyone experienced? Anything that can be done save calling Nintendo?
Sorry, cancelling the command on the system crashes (not cancels) the WiiU. Wrote that too fast.
And it just started working just fine like nothing was ever wrong.
Would you call Nintendo and ask about it or should i wait till it (if it) stops working again?
Strange...hopefully just a momentary hiccup.
where/when did you buy it??
some if not most will let you trade it in for a new one if you play your cards right you could get a e shop card for downloaded games you lost
to the Grammar Police!-\/
I'd unplug the system completely for a minute or so then turn it on and check things out. If it's still acting strange, contact Nintendo. Their customer service is top notch.
Sounds like a personal problem, TC.
I've had it since launch. Hopefully it doesn't repeat, if not i'll call. Before today i literally had NOTHING wrong, not even a momentary stoppage.

Note: I'm asking about MY system and me. I'm not making a blanket assumption about Wii U, etc.
Good to know.
Anyway, my initial advice would have been to keep trying to boot up the system again until, at the very least, you got a consistent problem. It seems you did have about three problems in a row, but they were completely different issues, so it's hard to tell exactly what was going on. If it got to the point where it crashed the same way every time, then we could maybe find out what happened more easily.
But it sounds like it eventually just started working again. It seems like the system might have just needed to get the update to "settle in", but that's just a guess. I remember having issues like that with some game patches and so forth (like a Skyrim patch that caused a dragon to glitch up because I had last saved in the middle of fighting him). Come back if something else starts happening, and remember to point out what happened in the past. Until then, we can assume it was just a hiccup.
Socran's Razor: "Never attribute to massive stupidity by someone else, what could be explained by a tiny bit of stupidity on your own part."
It's working fine this morning and is actually faster. Noticeably faster. Whew....fingers crossed.
BTW, on MH3U when i tried to download DLC it said i have the systems set not to receive DLC. Is that a game option or a system option? It's not like i have DLC anywhere else so it's not something i even think about.

A few weeks ago, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler set off a firestorm when he announced the FCC would consider adopting rules that would allow cable and telephone companies to charge Internet content providers (such as Amazon, iTunes, Snapchat, Google and others) extra if they desired their content to travel more quickly to customer homes. The reason for the firestorm: that sort of ruling would change the way the Internet operates fundamentally, and allow cable operators and telephone companies enormous potential control over the Internet.
Well, the proposed rules are out. And while Chairman Wheeler made several highly publicized efforts to mollify the critics of the plan, it is pretty clear that the proposed rules have done little to satisfy those who wish to maintain Internet openness or the cable or telephone industry.
The FCC has established a four-month public comment period on the proposed rules: 60 days (until July 15) to submit initial comments and another 57 days (until September 10) for reply comments. Here are links to statements made by each of the five commissioners:
The FCC has created a special mailbox to accept informal comments about the net neutrality proceeding. Elected officials might want to share this special mailbox with constituents if they issue a statement on the issue.
There are a lot of players in the debate, and we'll post a detailed analysis of the rules later. But what public agencies need to recognize is that this is an important discussion, and the results of this proposed rule change could affect them, and their ability to use the Internet to deliver vital services to consumers.

UPDATE: Performance on Standard DVD, a comparison of Standard DVD deinterlacing!
With this wide array of hardware at my disposal, I have the ability to test how these units fair on standard DVD. So, with this in mind, I decided to watch some standard DVDs until I found noticable deinterlacing artifacts. I found some right at the start of the standard DVD side of "The Departed" HD DVD/DVD combo; the Warner Bros logo had obvious stairstepping.
So, when viewing this scene, I tried to view it four different ways - all scaled by the HD-A35 (ABT1018 scaler chip) but deinterlaced by different components
1) 1080p24 passed to TV from HD-A35, CineMotion off, Motion Enhancer off/ Deinterlaced by HD-A35
2) 1080i60 passed to TV from HD-A35, CineMotion Auto2, Motion Enhancer off / Deinterlaced by Sony KDS-60A3000
3) 1080p60 passed to TV from HD-A35, CineMotion Auto2, Motion Enhancer off / Deinterlaced by HD-A35
4) 1080i60 passed to DTC-9.8 from HD-A35, 1080p60 passed to TV by DTC-9.8, CineMotion Auto2, Motion Enhancer off / Deinterlaced by DTC-9.8
In short, test cases 1-3 all displayed the stairstepping while test case 4 did not. Why? Well, DVD is a much more difficult beast to deinterlace than HD DVD since you do not have native 24p stored on disc all the time; often with standard DVD there is flagging of partial field/frames in the signal. Therefore it becomes a much more difficult for the job for the deinterlacer compared to HD DVD, where the job is easy as the film is stored 24p on disc and the 60i signal is generated by the player. Since DVD is stored 480i60 on disc, in all methods the signal will be need to be deinterlaced as you cannot simply grab the native stream off the disc as with HD DVD. So methods 1 & 3 use the deinterlacer in the HD-A35 while method 2 uses the deinterlacer in the TV and method 4 uses the deinterlacer in the DTC-9.8. The acclaimed Reon chip in the DTC-9.8 did the best job of all. So, if you do not have access to a Reon chip in your pre/pro or receiver and watch a lot of standard DVD, you might want to pick up a Reon-based HD DVD player for best deinterlacing. Some popular ones are the Toshiba HD-XA2, Onkyo DV-HD805, and Samsung BD-UP5000.
In the end, for my particular setup, the best quality combined with the most convenience on ALL sources looks like it may be acquired by letting the Reon in the DTC-9.8 do the scaaling/deinterlacing work to 1080p, then pass that to the Sony where it can use its Cinemotion Auto2 technology to remove duplicate frames from the signal on film sources for 24p output.
On an unrelated note to this update, I can confirm that the DTC-9.8 does not accept 1080p over component; therefore I decided to bypass the scaler in the XBOX 360 by setting it to output its native 720p and allow the Reon to handle the scaling to 1080p; almost all 360 games are 720p and those that do support 1080p like Virtua Tennis 3 run better at 720p anyway. This seems to work well and is more convenient than running 1080p component directly to my HDTV.
Ruined, your posts make more sense then all the 1000+ replied threads over at AVS Forums. I've spent alot of time reading through AVS feeling more confused than I started.
Iv'e got a 46" XBR4 and want to understand how to properly use the features like cinemotion. What does Cinemotion Auto1 do vs Auto2 or Off?
Right now I dont have a BR or HDDVD player, I have an Explorer 8300HD (HDMI) for all HD TV viewing, a normal soft modded xbox (720p output) for watching DVD's and other media. And last my laptop (Dell XPS M1710) to play games and watch certain HD video's).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

2012 Youth Week Theme "Be a Credit Union Super SaverTM"
Credit union staff and youth nationwide chose "Be a Credit Union Super SaverTM" as the 2012 theme for National Credit Union Youth WeekTM, which will be celebrated April 22-28, 2012. The "Super Saver" theme draws upon the powers of superheroes that also apply to saving at a credit union, such as plotting a savings plan and acting it out, protecting and monitoring money and drawing upon resources at the credit union in order to be strong savers and smart spenders.
The theme ranked first in a nationwide poll of credit union staff, and youth backed it by placing it among their favorite themes, as well. The superhero theme was suggested by both Jennifer Moser, member service representative at Union Pacific of Arkansas FCU (North Little Rock, Ark.), and Kelsey Balcaitis, community education specialist at A+ FCU (Austin, Texas).
In keeping with the Super Saver theme, the 2012 Youth Week poster employs comic book-inspired design and bright primary colors. The poster and related artwork will be available online in January 2012. For updates on Youth Week, credit union staff may sign up for a free e-newsletter.

MEDELLIN, Colombia (ICIS)--Cattle slaughter in September this year totalled 2.61m head, up 3% year over year, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said on Thursday.
The average live weight was up 2 lbs from the previous year, at 1,313 lbs, USDA said.
The average live weight is the weight of the whole animal, before slaughter.
Beef production, at 2.07bn lbs, was up by 3% from July 2012, USDA said.
The figures are reported in USDA's monthly livestock slaughter report by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
US tallow-based fatty acid producers typically use bleachable fancy tallow (BFT) as feedstock. BFT is primarily derived from the fat tissue of beef.
Fatty acid suppliers use a prior-month BFT feedstock average as a factor in the contracts.
BFT prices have been hovering around 33 cents/lb ($728/tonne, €531/tonne) in the Chicago cash market in recent weeks.
Fatty acids are produced by splitting oils or fats, which then generate the fatty acid and a glycerine co-product.
($1 = €0.73)

Tucked under the eaves with slanted ceilings, a dormer opens up the view to the old Birdcage Lighthouse across the harbor. Stenciled walls share center stage with a gorgeous cherry cannonball queen bed. Stargazing from your hammock on this open balcony is heavenly.

"We enjoyed our stay at the Blacksmith Inn. What a beautiful & unique place. The hosts & staff were helpful and very pleasant. Due to our last minute trip planning our 3 days were spent in 2 different rooms. The staff made this a very smooth transition. The view of the sunrise from room #7 (in bed) is something to behold!"
