ROCK HILL, S.C. -- Rock Hill police have arrested 12 reputed members of two rival street gangs.
Click here for suspect photos
Investigators say nine of those charged are members of a gang called 715 FAM and the others are members of 901 KOB.
A lot of our drive-by shootings the last two months have been 715 FAM and 901 KOB shooting back and forth at each other, said Rock Hill Police Spokesperson Mark Bollinger.
Members of 715 FAM have told police in the past that they are rap music artists and there are videos by a group using that name on YouTube.
I call that kind of like their cover, Bollinger said, adding, they do that but they also do this other stuff.
On Jan. 10, a shooting outside a home on Cedar Grove Lane in Rock Hill left one man, 25-year old Michael Giddens, dead from gunshot wounds.
Bollinger said some of those charged as gang members were responsible for the murder, but that the motive was still not known.
Debbie Chance lives around the corner from where the murder happened and was a friend of Giddens.
She said she had no idea why gang members would have been after him.
He was a very well mannered, very smart young fellow, she said.
Investigators say with the arrests of the 12 men, they can now close nearly a dozen violent crime cases, including the robbery near campus of 11 Winthrop University students.
The students all had their iPhones taken.
Investigators say the gang members had a connection in Charlotte where the phones were later sold for about $100 each.
Bollinger said he hoped the arrests sent a message to other gang members and that more arrests are possible as the investigation continues.

Philippine mining laws, policies not clear and strong enough, says expert
More News from Germelina Lacorte, Judy Quiros and Tito Fiel
DAVAO CITY, Philippines—An international environmental expert said mining companies get away with environmentally destructive practices in the Philippines because the country's laws and policies on mining are not clear or strong enough.
Clive Montgomery Wicks, vice chair of the commission on environmental, economic and social policy of the Switzerland-based International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), pointed to the conduct of environmental impact statement, or EIS, as one example of how mining companies can go around the law.
IUCN claims to be the world's oldest and largest global environmental network, with more than 1,000 governmental and non-governmental member organizations, and almost 11,000 volunteer scientists in more than 160 countries, including the Philippines.
Speaking at a mining forum organized by non-governmental organizations here on Thursday, Wicks said that in the Philippines, an environmental compliance certificate, or ECC, is issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources on the basis of an EIS prepared by a company.
But studies have shown that mining companies do not identify the possible ill effects or dangers posed by mining operations in their EIS.
"In Philippine mining, most of the mining companies are not identifying the dangers or impact in the required Environmental Impact Statement as well as remedies to cushion the impact of said dangers," he said.
Wicks said this is not the case with respect to international standards, which require mining companies to identify dangers or impacts on the environment posed by their operations and to identify contingency or remedial measures the are to undertake, in what is called an environmental social impact assessment, or ESIA.
He said to correct the weakness in the law, the government should put in place a structure or one body that would specifically look into mining and strictly enforce responsible mining policies to avoid the bad impact of mining on the environment and people.
Elisea Gozun, presidential assistant for climate change, said at the same forum that the government will be announcing new mining policies in line with its economic development framework for sustainable development.
She said Malacañang has commissioned a study group, which included herself, to work on the new mining policies.
"The study result and the recommendation is not yet in full, and I could not yet divulge our recommendations, but rest assured it is in line with the economic development program of the country," Gozun said.
She admitted though that it was difficult for the study group to define responsible mining.
"The big challenge is how to translate responsible mining into reality. All mining companies have claims of being responsible miners, but issues and problems remain prevalent," Gozun said.
She said the Philippines has better mining laws compared with other countries but the problem is in the implementation and enforcement aspect.

: As the youngsters make waves at the 56th State junior athletics championship here, some with a long leap and some with a stunning run, there are many coaches watching them intensely.
Kerala is the country's leading nursery in athletics, a heavyweight in National junior and Youth championships, but surprisingly the Sports Authority of India and the Kerala Sports Council coaches are a worried lot.
"We don't get quality athletes for our centres, we virtually get the leftovers," said Walter John, Thrissur SAI coach. "Very few appear for our trials. And we are under a lot of pressure if the results are not good or the target is not achieved."
It's not that Kerala has stopped churning out young talent. It does, loads of them every season. But strangely, the ones that show up are quickly grabbed by the many schools and colleges that have now ventured into athletics big time.
"Schools like St. George, Mar Basil (in Kothamangalam), Parali, Mundur, Kalladi (in Palakkad), Koruthode and academies run by Mercy Kuttan and P.T. Usha take the cream of the talent," said P. Radhakrishnan, coach at the Kerala State Sports Council's Throws Academy at Cherthala. "So, there are not many left for us."
The problem began after the long reign of Koruthode's C. Kesavan Memorial School as Kerala champion ended a few years ago. "Talented athletes were just going to Koruthode School till then," explained Radhakrishnan. "But once it lost the State's 'best school' tag, children began going to other schools and soon many new ones started showing interest."
A trial called by Kothamangalam's St. George's School, a multiple winner of Kerala's champion school title, attracted more than 1000 athletes. And some schools even offered money to lure the best athletes.
"But we just get about 150 children for our SAI trials," said Walter John.
Thalassery SAI coach Jose Mathew is a lucky exception for he has had talented athletes like Mayookha Johny and Nayana James training at his centre.
So, what is the solution to the problem?
"We are not able to find a solution," said Radhakrishnan, in despair. "And they start taking in children early, from fifth standard onwards, while we take them only from eighth."
It's a fact that schools spend big money — some of them almost Rs. 1 lakh per month just on food — on their athletes, and want instant results. Coaches overload the athletes during training to produce winning horses.
Media coverage
The media in Kerala also goes overboard when it comes to the State Schools Athletics Meet, often bringing out special pullouts and three to four extra pages for the event. The coverage for the schools meet even beats the space offered for the Olympics.
"Reducing the media coverage would help in a big way," said Radhakrishnan. "And the overall title should be given to the best district and not to the best school, to tone down the competition."
Walter calls for a tougher stand. "Stop the School Games," he said.
That could have serious consequences though. The system which churns out talents year after year, and offers a central stage for new stars, could even completely break down.

Today's numbers bring back something we had discussed extensively prior to the first debate—Romney's likability ceiling. Obama is at 48 percent or better in every state except for North Carolina. Romney is at 48 percent or better in just two of these nine states.Other than a brief period post-first debate, Romney's numbers in the battleground states were consistently mired in the mid-40s. It was one of the reasons I was so confident going into Election Day. He was simply too far away from 50 percent in too many key states to truly threaten President Barack Obama's re-election.
The vote count isn't 100 percent final, but we're close enough to make some broad general points, like the fact that Romney really couldn't get out of the mid-40s in most battleground states. Look at the (almost) final results:
Obama hit 48 percent in every battleground state. Mitt Romney managed it in just two of them. In fact, he got out of the mid-40s (47 percent or better) in just four of these nine states. That's woeful.
Romney also underperformed his national popular vote in six of the battlegrounds, while Obama overperformed his in six of the nine. In other words, the Obama team got their vote out where it mattered.
For fun, let's see how many of these states Romney would have to flip to win:
So Obama could've lost every state he won by less than 5.4 points (Florida, Ohio, and Virginia), and he still would've won 272-266.
Obama could've also lost every state that he won by seven or fewer points, and he still wouldn't have lost (217 EVs) as badly as Romney did (206 EVs).
Seriously, the more we dig into the numbers, the more dominant Obama's victory looks.

Rockies SS Tulowitzki (hip strain) to consult with surgeon in Philly
JUL 27, 2014 8:46a ET
Colorado Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki will consult with noted sports surgeon Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia, the team announced after Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Tulowitzki was placed on the 15-day disabled list this past Monday because of a hip flexor strain.
MLB.com notes Meyers performed surgery to remove scar tissue from Tulowitzki's right groin in 2012, but the Rockies announced that no additional surgery is planned at this time.
Tulowitzki is tied for the major-league lead with a .340 batting average, his .432 on-base percentage is tops in the majors, and his .603 slugging percentage leads the NL. The All-Star also has 21 homers and 52 RBI.

Italy boss Cesare Prandelli is happy to see Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon under pressure to keep his Azzurri place.
Buffon, captain for club and country, is now 35 and just two caps short of equalling Fabio Cannavaro's 136 games for his country.
"Buffon, with me in charge of the side, has always been and will continue to be the No 1," Prandelli told Sky Sport Italia.
"However, at the same time, he has to keep a look out over his shoulder because Lazio's Federico Marchetti and Salvatore Sirigu of Paris Saint-Germain are growing a lot.
"The first has re-found his consistency and security, while the second is maturing thanks to some important experiences in Paris."

Apple teams up with Ferrari to put iOS on your dashboard
Summary:Apple has teamed up with car makers to make your dashboards interactive.
The iPhone maker claims that CarPlay allows iOS users to make calls, use maps, listen to music and access messages through touch and voice-based controls. Users can control CarPlay from the car's dashboard or push and hold a control button on the steering wheel to activate the iOS voice assistant, Siri.
CarPlay also supports third-party applications including Spotify and iHeartRadio.
Automakers slated to offer CarPlay include Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Kia, Hyundai, Honda, General Motors and Toyota.
"CarPlay has been designed from the ground up to provide drivers with an incredible experience using their iPhone in the car," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of iPhone and iOS Product Marketing. "iPhone users always want their content at their fingertips and CarPlay lets drivers use their iPhone in the car with minimized distraction. We have an amazing lineup of auto partners rolling out CarPlay, and we're thrilled it will make its debut this week in Geneva."
Apple's Carplay is available as an update to iOS 7 and works with Lightning-enabled iPhones, including iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5. CarPlay will be integrated within vehicles this year after its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

Gear Review
Nice Little Pack
This is good for quick day trips where you don't need a lot of gear. It fits great with the small shoulder straps and chest / waste clips. This is a very functional bag that allows quick and easy access to your gear. The description does not state that you can pack this guy up. You can roll this bag up to about the size of a water bottle. This makes it great for backpacking when you want to go on a short hike away from camp. I plan on using it for a summit hike in a couple of weeks and I know it will hold its own. I highly recommend this guy!

Metro Corpus Christi unemployment dips slightly to 5.8 percent
CORPUS CHRISTI - Corpus Christi metro area unemployment dropped slightly to 5.8 percent in October, Texas Workforce Commission figures show.
The rate is down from 5.9 percent in September and is the area's lowest level since December 2008, which was several months into the period when the national recession began erasing local jobs.
Employers added 500 nonfarm jobs in Aransas, Nueces and San Patricio counties from September to October. Two sectors — mining, logging and construction as well as education and health services — both added an estimated 200 positions from month-to-month.
Losses overtook gains for a net loss of 100 nonfarm jobs. The trade, transportation and utilities sector posted the largest month-over-month loss of 300 jobs.
Including agricultural work, there were 900 fewer employed people from month to month. The extra 800 losses likely are related to drought impacts that lulled agricultural activity, said Jim Lee, professor and chairman of decision sciences and economics department at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
The civilian labor force, or the number of people working or actively seeking work, shrank by 1,300 to about 220,200 people. About 12,800 people were counted as jobless in October, figures show.
There still were an estimated 4,500 more people working in October than one year before, when the unemployment rate was 7.3 percent.
Across the 12-county Coastal Bend Workforce Development Area, the unemployment rate ticked downward one-tenth of a percentage point to 5.6 percent.
The lowest county rate is in the Eagle Ford Shale drilling hotbed of McMullen County, which registered 2.2 percent, according to data from Workforce Solutions of the Coastal Bend. San Patricio County recorded the highest county rate of 6.9 percent, the agency reported.
There were 2,292 unemployment insurance claims in October, down 384 from the previous year.
Workforce Solutions of the Coastal Bend reported 3,790 job openings in October and served more than 13,700 job seekers.
Statewide, the non-seasonally adjusted October unemployment rate was 6.3 percent, down from 7.3 percent in October 2011.
The Midland metro area recorded the lowest rate of 3.3 percent. Tied for highest — 10.1 percent — were the metro areas of Brownsville-Harlingen and McAllen-Edinburg-Mission.
The non-seasonally adjusted national rate was 7.5 percent, down from 8.5 percent one year ago.
Aransas: 5.4 percent, down 2.2 percentage points from October 2011
Bee: 6.5 percent, down 1.6
Brooks: 6.5 percent, down 2.3
Duval: 6.3 percent, down 2
Jim Wells: 4.5 percent, down 1.8
Kenedy: 2.7 percent, down 3
Kleberg: 5.3 percent, down 1.2
Live Oak: 3.9 percent, down 1.2
McMullen: 2.2 percent, down 2.1
Nueces: 5.7 percent, down 1.4
Refugio: 4.2 percent, down 1.1

13 March 2013 19:46 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)—A 3.2% week-on-week increase in US propylene inventories put them above the 3m bbl level for the first time in 7 weeks, according to government data released on Wednesday.
US inventories of non-fuel refinery-sourced propylene increased to 3.057m bbl for the week ended 8 March, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
This is up from 2.963m bbl for the week ended 1 March and is the third consecutive weekly increase.
US propylene inventories hadn't been above 3m bbl since sitting at 3.046m bbl for the week ended 18 January.
The increase in inventories came despite a decrease in US refinery operating rates to 81.0% from 82.2% the previous week.
Market sources said demand for propylene has been soft, and refinery-grade propylene (RGP) bid/offer levels were heard on Wednesday at 54.0-58.0 cents/lb ($1,190-1,279/tonne, €917-984/tonne), lower than the lone deal done the previous week at 63.5 cents/lb.
($1 = €0.77)

Yep this is one of the big ones. We looked at a few boats that we could tell had deck core problems even from simple inspections around deck penetrations and in one case just by walking around on the deck. A better way to find things that can't been seen or felt would be a valuable tool. The boat we found, an M25 makes this really easy to check for as everything is inspect able from the inside which will not be the case on the C27.
I wonder though if the boat has been in Arizona the whole time, in freshwater, could this be like one of those 1960s cars that can be found in the desert in unbelievable condition. That would be very nice. Up here everything is always either wet or frozen.

Resealing and rebedding cabin windows/ports with Butyl tape
I used 3m marine silicone sealant to seal the first window I redid and it worked alright. After seeing how fragile the silicone is once its cured I was worried that one big wave or flex in the hull would break the seal.
So I figured I would try it out with butyl tape on the next one and here is how it went.
The first step is to remove the screws from the inside cover.
Unfortunately, half of the screws were stuck and would not come out. In the process of trying everything to remove them I completely stripped them out. Good thing I have a dremel. I cut a new head into the screw so that a flathead screwdriver would remove them
The cover then just pops off
With the pressure off of the window frame it will be easier to get a putty knife in between it and the cabin top. Cut the sealant around the frame and carefully wiggle the frame away from the cabin but be careful the p26 has tempered glass windows and they will break!
I then scraped any silicone, gunk and paint off of the cabin sides.
The old seal was pretty gross. These windows were leaking in hard rains so it was time for replacing.
Once the frame is removed from the cabin the glass can be removed from the frame. To do this there are four screws holding the two piece frame together.
Remove those screws and the window comes apart.
The inside of the frame is gross!
After that I removed the old seal
Then I cleaned the glass and it was gross!
Once the frame and glass are clean, they can be reinstalled. I am using Butyl tape, which I definitely recommend over silicone. Super easy to work with. I cleaned all of the surfaces with acetone before placing the butyl tape on them.
Once its wrapped around I squeezed it to fit around the window
When the butyl tape is wrapped and formed to the glass I removed the wax paper from the butyl tape and placed it into the frame.
The butyl squeezes out once the frame is squeezed together and after I screwed the frame back together, a razor blade easily cleans the butyl up.
I wrapped the butyl around the frame, both on the outer flange and the inner frame that rests against the cabin top.
I wrapped the tape onto the cabin top.
Squeeze the tape around the opening
Slide the window in and Screw the inside piece of the window back in!
Once the window is screwed in cut away the excess tape.
All done!
Its been a couple weeks now and the windows do not leak a drop. I will now seal everything I can find with this stuff. Its great!
Never sailed before. Quit my job, bought a SMALL sailboat and moved on with the wife dog and cat. Blogging about our experience Thewildjasmine.com

Critical Essay by Martin Shockley
I propose an interpretation of The Grapes of Wrath in which [Jim] Casy represents a contemporary adaptation of the Christ image, and in which the meaning of the book is revealed through a sequence of Christian symbols.
Before and after The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck has used symbolism and allegory; throughout his work he has considered a wide range of Christian or neo-Christian ideas; in relation to the context of his fiction as a whole, Christian symbolism is common. His use of Biblical names, for instance, is an inviting topic yet to be investigated. The Pearl is an obvious allegory on the evil of worldly treasure. The Pirate in Tortilla Flat exemplifies a Steinbeck character type, pure in heart, simple in mind, rejected of men, clearly of the kingdom of heaven. More pertinent perhaps, the title of The Grapes of...

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL), India's largest media company, is set to acquire 9X, the Hindi general entertainment channel belonging to the loss-making INX Media Pvt Ltd.
The deal is expected to cost Zee about Rs 65 crore, sources familiar with the development said.
Zee and INX officials were not available for comment.
For Zee, the synergies from the deal are unlikely to be significant from a content and viewership point of view, but there could be implied tax benefits, besides an additional channel licence in times of tight government approvals, said sources.
9X owes around Rs 130 crore to creditors, who are expected to take a substantial haircut and okay the transfer of ownership.
The INX management is expected to pitch in with some money of their own over and above the Zee funds to seal the deal with the creditors, who are expected to agree considering the options they have.
INX is then expected to spin off 9X, which will be taken over by Zee after a court approves the arrangement.
Zee is understood to have walked the road with the INX management, currently being steered by media veteran Pradeep Guha — a former CEO of the Zee group who assumed INX's chief executive position recently — over the past three-four months.
Guha, who also has a small equity position in INX Media, was entrusted with the recast plan by INX's private equity investors Temasek Holdings, New Silk Route, New Vernon Private Equity Fund and Kotak Private Equity.
The decision to exit 9X seems to be an outcome of this recast plan as the channel wasn't able to hold its own in an arena of white-hot competition.
INX has racked up huge losses that, on a carryforward basis, are expected to touch over Rs 800 crore by the end of the current fiscal year for its entire media business.
INX had earlier exited its news channel (INX News) business when the promoters sold it to Vinay Chhajlani, an Indore-based promoter of regional dailies Naidunia and Nav Dunia.
After the 9X sale, INX will be left with just the music channel 9XM.
Again, this is a business that has seen a sea-change. Segment leaders such as Channel V and MTV have turned programming structures on their head — so much so that today music is only incidental, while reality shows are the money spinners.
INX Media was launched in 2007-08 after its founder Peter Mukherjee cobbled together $170 million through a private equity fund. After two meandering years, the company went for a restructuring in 2009, which saw promoters Peter Mukherjee and his wife Indrani stepping down from the management.
The Mukerjees continue to be shareholders, but the management is largely handled by Guha on behalf of the private equity investors.
Disclosure: The Zee Group is part-owner of Diligent Media Corporation, which publishes the DNA.

Dellavedova lifts Saint Mary's in OT 78-74
LAS VEGAS With the score deadlocked in overtime and the ball bouncing free, opposing guards Matthew Dellavedova and Kevin Pangos collided near the scorer's table.
The guy who grew up around Aussie Rules Football made sure he got there first, and it proved critical as Saint Mary's pulled out a 78-74 OT victory Monday night over Gonzaga in the West Coast Conference tournament championship.
"I was trying to get my body in front of it," said Dellavedova, who led the Gaels with 22 points. "It goes back to Australia Rules footy. I was pretty happy they called the foul on him, but I guess it could have gone either way."
Dellavedova would get the call and sink the free throws, and later add two more to secure the win over No. 24 Gonzaga and an NCAA bid.
It was Saint Mary's second WCC tourney title in three years. But it was the first time the Gaels (27-5) have won the regular-season title outright and claimed the tourney championship the same year.
"I'm just a bit relieved that we finally got it done," Dellavedova said. "We'll enjoy this but once we get back (to California), we're going to focus, work hard again to get ready for the (NCAA) tourney because we want to do some things there."
The Bulldogs, despite some big wins and a 25-6 overall record, will have to wait for the selection committee to find out if they'll make the NCAA field.
"It was a great ball game, two high-level tournament teams going at it and battling," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "Forty minutes wasn't enough so we needed another five, and in the end they stepped up and made big shots."
Elias Harris led Gonzaga with 22 points, including a 3-pointer with 2 seconds left in regulation to force the extra period.
Dellavedova, the WCC player of the year, had a chance to win it at the buzzer in regulation but his runner bounced off the rim.
The junior point guard also gets plenty of credit for forcing Pangos into a miserable shooting night, just two days after the WCC newcomer of the year lit up Brigham Young for 30 points.
Pangos finished with seven points on 3-of-18 shooting. He was just 1 of 10 from 3-point range. Center Robert Sacre finished with 17 points for Gonzaga while Sam Dower added 14 off the bench.
"Pangos had a really good night the other night and he hurt us up at Gonzaga," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said of a Feb. 9 loss in which Pangos scored 27 points and hit five 3-pointers.
"He won't go 1 of 10 very often, but Matt did a good job of making him take tough shots."
Saint Mary's also got help from Clint Steindl defending Pangos, and had post players rotate over as well.
Rob Jones was just as valuable for the Gaels, adding 18 points and nine rebounds, while Jorden Page, another Aussie, added 16 points and Brad Waldow had 13 and eight rebounds.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Private Segway Tours of San Francisco. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
We were the only people on this VIP tour and we had a great time! We probably traveled around 20 miles within San Francisco, up to Coit Tower (and down again!), Chinatown, North Beach . . . Carlos was a great guide!
Our guide was really good, we even ate a pizza where she recomend us. The segway gives you the oportunity to see the city as if you where walking but moving fast and no that fast that you might loose something, 110% recomendable.
Tour guide was excellent and we learned so much on the tour. Tour guide made safety a priority and helped us feel confident riding the Segway. We loved the sights and areas the guide took us to and loved the information shared during our tour. Segway Tours are the best ways to sightsee in this city. We will definitely do this again!
Fabulous tour. Once we figured out the segways, we were off and got to see so much of the city.
We went down Lombard st twice!
Loved it!

Not that much of a setback since the colors on this P96 are popping. solomansousana08-21-2010, 17:35I recently just got rid of the remaining CRT's, Sony 20" graphics monitors I bought from a NASA sale for 25 bucks each. Picked up 7 of the following: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/product_detail.do?storeName=storefronts&landing=display&category=display&orderflow=1&a1=High+definition&v1=Full+HD&a2=Screen+size&v2=23&product_code=WC292AA%23ABA&catLevel=3 They run cooler, use less wattage and colors are HD CitizenOfDreams08-21-2010, 19:54I used to be a staunch CRT user until about a year ago. Now I learned to live with LCDs, since their advantages overweigh the drawbacks. Can't beat a 28" 1920x1200 monitor that costs 300 bucks and does not crush your desk with its weight. Markasaurus08-21-2010, 20:46yep i use a 19 inch Viewsonic. It's lasted me almost 7 years. CRT have better pictures then LCD, period. It's heavy though so when it finally breaks or gets dark, i figure in a year or two, its right into the dumpster and replace with an LCD. DoubleWide08-22-2010, 01:24Still got 2 NEC 19" monitors. They work great and I can't justify replacing them before they start to die. pascal08-22-2010, 05:39Slyvania F50. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Wish lightning hadn't taken out my 17 CRT. Made the switch. IMHO CRTs are better viewing. pacal Hauptmann608-22-2010, 07:032 19" veiwsonics. I still don't like the look of LCDs.

When I use my laptop at home I have another CRT I hook up to it. Idontplaynice08-22-2010, 16:06I will get a flat-panel monitor again soon. I only got rid of the 24 inch because I got a good offer on it and it was almost five years old. I was planning to get a new LED monitor but when I dug out the IBM P96, the picture looked so good I decided to go retro for awhile. RaiderRodney08-25-2010, 06:31Still have an old SONY CRT on the kids compy...and my compy repair station is using an old HP CRT. I finally went to a LCD on mine when Viewsonic came out with the 2ms (922 I think it is) and true to the advertising it doesn't ghost....But I have it next to my Panasonic plasma which I watch some movies from my compy on (via DVI-HDMI) and there truly is no comparison in picture quality :whistling: Toyman08-26-2010, 11:30...Can't beat a 28" 1920x1200 monitor that costs 300 bucks and does not crush your desk with its weight. Yes you can. A 30" 2560x1600 monitor that a client sent for free. :tongueout: Ironically it came the same day as the one I ordered. So two of them is really nice. LinuxKnight08-31-2010, 04:48I have a Hitachi 21" beast CRT, replaced my Viewsonic 17" CRT a while ago. I still use it mainly because I can't afford to get any new "unnecessary" things right now, and this beast is still kickin'. When it does finally go, I'll replace it with an LCD. Funny thing is, I got this beast used, and free, at a now defunct computer store where I worked as a tech, a customer brought in several old CRTs that weren't working right, just wanted to get rid of them. We tweaked them just a little (the controls hidden inside the cover), and now they work fine. Obi Wan08-31-2010, 10:20I've got an 18" Phillips hooked up to my old PC, but am currently using the newer 19" Westinghouse LCD that was given to me along with a PC that I'm now using as my main system. It took me a little while to get used to the LCD, but now that I am it's hard to go back as the LCD is much brighter.

Markasaurus08-31-2010, 10:29still got a 19" viewsonic that i paid $350 for, 6 or 7 years ago. That is a long time for a monitor to last i think. Its a very good monitor an "ultrabrite", the usual thing that makes people toss a monitor is when the screen starts getting dark, and that hasn't happened. It still works and the picture is good so if it aint broke im not replacing it. bearone208-31-2010, 10:3223" dell flat panel for $149. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

After the fatal accident, he ends up in heaven, where he's made a temporary angel -- with the possibility of getting permanent status if he does enough good deeds.

So he turns over a new leaf and vows to help people, in particular a sick young man and his mother.
Customer Reviews of Almost an Angel
Classic Paul story4/12/2013
In the movie, Terry meets up with Steve (Elias Koteas), a guy in a wheelchair & the next thing we know he is being taken home, meeting Steve's sister Rose (Kozlowski), & helping out at the center for the neighborhood kids. The formula is fairly obvious, but the point is not whether Terry is going to find his redemption but how he is going to pull it off.
Brilliant Movie1/24/2013
As far as I am concerned this is a classic film that ranks up there with It's a Wonderful Life. It has it's sad moments but is for the most part upbeat and funny. It is Paul Hogan at his best. I just wish they would put it out on DVD. If you are a Paul Hogan fan you can't help but love this film.

Chen boosts Royals in 2-1 win over Indians
CLEVELAND After his bullpen failed to hold late leads on consecutive nights, Kansas City manager Ned Yost knew his team needed a spark.
Bruce Chen provided it by holding Cleveland to one run in 7 1-3 innings in Sunday's 2-1 win.
"Bruce really picked us up big time," Yost said. "We needed Bruce to do that, to get us into the eighth inning. He did that."
Chen (10-5) overcame a shaky first inning to win his career-high fifth straight start. Chen allowed the first four batters of the game to reach base and walked Carlos Santana with the bases loaded to force in Cleveland's only run.
Yost went to his bullpen, which let games get away Friday and Saturday, but the relievers came through this time. Greg Holland retired both batters he faced in the eighth while Joakim Soria pitched a perfect ninth for his 24th save.
The Royals head to Detroit, where they open a three-game series Monday, on a positive note.
"We could have had all three of them," Yost said. "The first two games were hard losses to take, but it shows you the resiliency of this team. They show up to play every day and battle and stay after it. That is a great sign."
Mike Moustakas' RBI single broke a 1-1 tie in the third for the Royals, who loaded the bases with nobody out in the first, but scored only one run.
Justin Masterson (10-8) allowed two runs in six innings and lost for the first time since July 24.
Chen made the third-inning lead stand up by changing speeds, hitting his spots and confusing the young hitters in Cleveland's lineup, which was missing five regulars because of injuries.
"I am feeling good," Chen said. "I feel like I am throwing my pitches really well. It was a very good day for us."
The left-hander, who allowed five hits, is 4-0 in his last five starts against the Indians.
"They have a very good team," Chen said. "They have a winning record and they are fighting for a playoff spot, but we are not done. Hopefully we can get on a roll and win some ballgames in September."
Both teams loaded the bases with nobody out in the first, but only scored one run. A single by Alex Gordon, a walk to Melky Cabrera and a single by Billy Butler loaded the bases for Kansas City. After Eric Hosmer flied out, Jeff Francoeur hit into a force play, scoring Gordon.
Cleveland's first inning followed the same pattern. Singles by Ezequiel Carrera, Jason Donald and Asdrubal Cabrera loaded the bases before Santana walked on four pitches to force in a run. Shelley Duncan, swinging at the first pitch, fouled out and Kosuke Fukudome tapped into a pitcher-to-home-to-first double play.
"The first inning killed us," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "We let him off the hook right there. That's on us."
The Indians threatened in the eighth when Francoeur dropped a fly ball for an error to start the inning. Holland entered the game with one out, striking out pinch-hitter Jim Thome and getting Asdrubal Cabrera, who hit the game-winning home run Saturday, to fly out.

Obama Finds the Promised Land Again
Republicans expand their control of the House of Representatives
With a coalition of women and non-white voters as well as about 70% of the Jewish vote, President Barack Obama managed to win reelection by a narrow popular vote (at the time of this writing) and what looks to be a pretty sizable margin in the electoral college.
Democrats had a good night in the Senate and Republicans expanded their majority in the House of Representatives. In some of the races we highlighted earlier today, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach did not win his election in New Jersey and neither did Josh Mandel in Ohio or Linda Lingle in Hawaii.
Former West Palm Beach Mayor Lois Frankel beat Adam Hasner for a congressional seat and in the Sherman-Berman Showdown in California, Brad Sherman seemed to have an early lead. In a hotly contested race in Nevada, Representative Shelley Berkley lost her bid for the Senate. In Illinois, Brad Schneider won a seat in an upset against the incumbent in the 10th district.

A three-acre land has been provided for the construction of own building for the Regional Transport Office (RTO) at Ariyalur.
The Ariyalur district administration has formally handed over the 'poramboke' site to the Transport Department to enable it to construct a new building to house the Ariyalur RTO. The RTO is presently functioning in a rented building at Kallankurichi in Ariyalur taluk.
The site is located along the Ariyalur-Tiruchi main road near Keezhapalur. Transport Department authorities here said the Transport Commissioner at Chennai has already been conveyed about the handing over of the site by the district administration.
With the site having been given, an estimate would be sought from the Public Works Department for the construction of RTO building along with testing track. The estimate would be forwarded through the Transport Commissioner to the State Government seeking sanction of funds. The building construction work would commence only after the funds were sanctioned, the authorities said. A senior Department official said the work on laying a new testing track at the Tiruchi RTO in Pirattiyur was in an advanced stage of completion.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Video game rental service GameFly revealed today its expansion into mobile game publishing for the iOS and Android platforms as well as forging a GameFly GameStore for Android later this fall. "GameFly is dedicated to giving consumers the best experience possible and to be their single destination for console, PC, and mobile gaming needs," GameFly co-founder Sean Spector said. "We plan to be a leading player in mobile games by launching our retail GameStore for Android and helping to fund mobile developers of all sizes to publish, promote, and sell their smartphone and tablet games." GameFly expects its first published title this summer, but no further info is yet available on the game's content and genre. Is it too early to presume that all GameStore items will be prefaced with "GameFly Games Galore"?

HEALTH: Pair are part of first international kidney transplant chain
Weibe and Tatum said they had no idea that they would be involved in the first international donation chain.
"It's just amazing that one person paying it forward has made this much of an impact," Wiebe said.
Tatum, 58, who said he was on dialysis for two years and one month, said he knew nothing of Wiebe's intentions until she pulled him into a conference room at the church on June 29, 2011.
He said he thought she was going to mention some staffing problem or maybe quit her job. He struggled Friday to convey just what that moment of revelation was like.
"I can't really tell you how much it means in terms of the gift of life," he said.
Kidney donation is not without its risks. Weibe said those risks popped up again and again during her research, but that her Christian faith helped her overcome her fear.
"People scare you. They tell you you could die. But I could die walking out the door," she said.

Spain opposition calls on PM Rajoy to resign
Published on Feb 4, 2013 7:23 AM
MADRID (AFP) - The leader of Spain's opposition Socialist party called on Sunday for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to resign amid a damaging corruption scandal.
"Rajoy should give up his role as the head of government (because) he cannot tackle the very difficult situation confronting Spain," Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba told reporters.
Spain's centre-left newspaper El Pais published account ledgers purportedly showing that donations were channelled into secret payments to Mr Rajoy and other top party officials. Mr Rajoy has dismissed the ledgers as false and has vehemently denies receiving any payments.
The prime minister "cannot lead the country in this delicate time," Mr Rubalcaba said. "His presence (at the head of the government) is not going to help resolve this political crisis," the opposition leader said.

Romeo famously mused, "What's in a name?" - a rhetorical question I frequently ask myself with regard to restaurants.
In the case of Yasu Sushi Bistro, I'd say what's in this particular name is a bit misleading. Although "Yasu" denotes its principal player (young and talented chef Yasu Hashino) and "bistro" accurately describes the hipness of the venue, "sushi" doesn't begin to convey what this winning little restaurant can, and routinely does, do.
Pristine fish, prepared as sashimi, nigiri and fanciful rolls, may be ordered from the usual sushi checklist, and that's one perfectly reasonable option. But I typically find myself drawn to the cooked Japanese classics found on the multipage, bound menu, and to the imaginative seasonal specialties (both cooked and raw) listed on the one-page menu printed each day. All of which brings me back to my original point: You don't have to like sushi and you don't have to eat sushi to have an exciting, authentic experience here.
Hashino was the first guy to bring sumibiyaki - Japanese charcoal grilling - to the Valley, and his list of charcoal-grilled dishes has grown considerably since the restaurant opened two years ago. An abundance of small plates and a decent selection of beer and sake (plus one shochu) make the place a modified izakaya, a Japanese drinking establishment serving snack-type dishes for grazing while drinking, and drinking some more.
Curly shavings of crisp-fried gobo (a root vegetable reminiscent of taro chips in this preparation, $4) certainly support the notion. Flecked with sea salt, they're the ideal accompaniment to frosty Echigo, a light, crisp lager (rice-based and faintly sweet, $9) that suits the food (and me) perfectly. Five Kumamoto oysters on the half shell, served on a bed of ice and topped with spicy grated daikon and snips of green onion, are sweet, buttery-textured little morsels, clean and fresh-tasting with a spritz of lemon ($10). I think I could eat 50 of them, and I'd like to try.
Chilean abalone sushi, served on a pad of rice nigiri-style, is another clean-tasting selection - a bit too rubbery for me, but that's the nature of the beast ($6.50). I'm happier with golden-fleshed, slightly smoky hamachi sashimi, topped with jalapeño slices ($11). Happier still with garlicky yellowtail tartare, smoothed with pureed tomato, decorated with fresh cilantro and set in a puddle of wasabi-spiked dashi ($10). Wow!
But the dish that makes me feel joyous about summer (no small feat) is crunchy soft-shell crab, accented with cubes of juicy watermelon, marinated in sweet vinegar and sprinkled with daikon sprouts ($13.50). Ten Zaru Soba, served on a small bamboo mat, is another hot-weather treat, combining slippery, chilled buckwheat noodles with golden tempura, all to be dunked in a light, soy-based sauce (also chilled) to which wasabi and green onion may be added ($14.50).
Sumibiyaki dishes can be as straightforward or as challenging as you want them to be. Hashino grills jidori chicken breast, an all-natural, free-range bird, over special white charcoal until the skin is brown and lightly crisped, the meat incredibly moist and flavorful ($16). A tray of sea salt, fresh wasabi and sharp chopped wasabi provide the only accent needed. Four bites of lightly caramelized, skewered wagyu beef are so luscious they're worth the splurge - if you have $22 to spare. And both meats are yummy with a side of mild, slightly sweet shishito peppers, grilled and sprinkled with shaved bonito flakes, which flutter gently from their heat ($5). Meanwhile, salty hokke, from the mackerel family, is a simple Japanese classic bearing the smoke, char and crunch of the grill ($16).
Go with sumibiyaki-style beef tongue or kurobuta pork belly and you'll be amply rewarded for your adventurous spirit. Braised to melting tenderness, the tongue is sliced and smeared with red miso, topped with green onion, wrapped in bamboo leaf and grilled on a table-top hibachi until it bubbles ($12). Fabulous - and the same applies to ultra-fatty pork belly, braised in light sweet soy broth, festooned with strands of fresh daikon and served in a bowl with a dab of hot mustard ($10).
Chawan-mushi, savory egg custard, is another Japanese classic, the riff being shrimp, edamame, pale enoki mushroom and nubbins of foie gras. Served steaming hot and quivering, it's akin to rich, fancy soup ($12).
For dessert, creamy tiramisu flavored with green tea or green-tea cheesecake and a side of gorgeously floral green-tea ice cream are both terrific.
I'm always astonished that this little gem isn't packed day and night. If it were in Scottsdale, it would be.

Mark whirled through the entry. He was halfway to the foot of the stairs when the explosion behind him caused him to stagger. The banister where Mark had grabbed for a final lunge to the landing exploded into splinters. Rounds followed him as he dove to the upper floor, then rolled to his right into the cover of the hallway, crashing into the library table.
He lunged up. Run! You don't go against an Uzi with a pistol, fool. Do it!
But he couldn't. Eva, braced flat against the wall, was watching him with terror-filled eyes from the opposite side of the landing.
Feet pounded up the stairs . . .
"Got a lock," Bucky said confidently.
"It's never so," the tall motionless figure snapped back. The hands gripping the Uzi were slippery with sweat. He wiped a palm on his pants. It wasn't much help.
The coarse blond hair casually pulled together into a ponytail lay heavily upon his neck and the small of his back. In sharp contrast, the full beard was neatly trimmed. He shook his head as if to lighten the burden. It was a futile effort, but he'd known it would be.
It was one of those sweltering Miami nights, the air made heavy by approaching Hurricane Daniel. He squared heavy blocky shoulders. Then focused on obtaining oxygen from air in which it seemed oddly lacking.
The service area behind the mall was dark; yanking the main circuit breaker had assured that. The only illumination came from the half-moon; it faded in and out as storm clouds scuttled beneath it. Even in the near shadowless night, shifting patterns of lesser darkness raced across the asphalt, jumping parked cars and trucks, adding to the illusion that all was in motion. The gusting winds slapped his pants against his legs at odd moments.
He wasn't expecting trouble, despite Tony DiAngelo's suspicions of it being a setup. But it was his job to be ready. Besides, any time five million bucks was being swapped for white powder, there could be trouble of the worst kind.
He and the kid were positioned at opposite ends of the eighteen-wheeler. He'd suggested they'd both be better off at the rear, with the cover of eight heavy tires. The kid had opted for the front, claiming there was a better field of fire.
He'd placed three other men in the cover of the warehouse to the North; they were responsible for all to their front. Between him and them, hidden from view, was the limo. Behind the wheel, Tony DiAngelo. Another two men were close by.
All knew the priorities. First Tony D. Then the bucks. It would be unwise to survive if the bucks were lost, unless Tony D was lost as well. The possibility of the latter event occurring was extremely small. The man was sitting in a comfortable cocoon that was more a tank than a car.
Blinding light slammed into him as the black Caddy rounded the corner at the back of the mall, its high-beams slashing through the night. "Look away, kid" he cautioned.
"The name's Bucky, not kid."
"Just do it." His own eyes were still fixed on the corner of the bank to his left. He'd checked earlier. Could someone have gotten around that corner into the cover of the dumpster? Without being seen?
To his right, Tony started the engine in the limo. The head- lights flicked on, then off. He tensed. They were targets now, if those approaching had brought guns instead of bucks. As the Caddy closed, he eased up toward the back of the trailer, letting it block the moving headlights, but not his view of the bank.
Tires screamed. The Caddy's lights suddenly swept to the North. He dashed for the trailer. The night erupted with a different light, a different storm. Rounds slapped at the asphalt beyond where he'd been standing. They'd been launched from beside the dumpster, sixty feet to his left.
Next to Tony's limo, Carlos grabbed his gut, then tumbled out of sight. As he dove for cover behind the trailer's wheels, the kid went down. Had it been by choice? He couldn't say. "God damn it!" he screamed.

Go-karts are awesome enough as they are. But go-karts made entirely out of LEGO? If you managed to put one together, then you will have made the dreams of millions of kids (and kids at heart) come true.
It seems like that's what LEGO extraordinaire Eric Steenstra did. It's still a rough prototype of sorts, since you can't really steer it and it doesn't go that fast. But hey, it's a go-kart, it's made completely out of LEGO, and it works.
Since it's built using LEGO, you can't really expect that thing to seat an adult. But hey, at least the kids can still have their fun. Steenstra explains that it's still a 'work in progress,' so maybe he'll do something about the capacity, speed, and steering in due time. Steenstra doesn't give a step-by-step instruction on how he built this thing, but you can check out some build pictures over at this link.
Maybe something much faster next time, yeah?

From the Archives: Braids in Vogue
There have been clues that braids, these days, are for "big girls"—think Jemima Kirke in the first season of Girls, long-haired Lorde in her gothic-milkmaid mode, Sara Bareilles at the Grammys. The final proof that plaits are free from schoolgirl associations is offered by "Desert Flower," the Western-themed portfolio shot by Mikael Jansson for Vogue's February issue, featuring Russian stunner Sasha Pivovarova and costarring some mesmerizing fishtail braids by the ever-innovative hairstylist Eugene Souleiman. Today's ideal braid is at once controlled and mussed, artfully natural in a way freckle-faced Pippi's never were. Here, a peek at plaits—from French to fabulously fake (courtesy of Dynel)—in the Vogue Archive.
Featuring covers, advertisements, articles, photographs, and illustrations in their original context, the Vogue Archive offers a glimpse of Vogue's unparalleled record of fashion, social, and cultural ideas.
