Aldridge is now a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall, in the West Midlands, England. Historically it was part of the county of Staffordshire, but in 1974 it was incorporated into the West Midlands county. It also became part of the borough of Walsall at this time, having originally been an independent local authority. In 1966 it was merged with neighbouring Brownhills to form Aldridge-Brownhills Urban District Council. The recorded population in the 2001 UK census was 16,862.
Aldridge began as a small agricultural settlement, with farming being the most common occupation up until the 19th century.
In the 1800s, Aldridge became an industrial town with coal mines and lime kilns. The coal and clay in the area prompted many to set up collieries and brickworks. Aldridge clay is especially useful in the manufacture of blue bricks. The 1881 census shows that the mines and brick works were major employers. Because the coal and clay beneath the eastern side of Aldridge (towards Stonnall) is located much deeper under the surface, extraction of this coal and clay would not have been economically viable. As a result farms continued to dominate the eastern part, though a sand quarry was set up and still remains on Birch Lane. After the Second World War Aldridge became a dormitory town, or suburb, of Birmingham.
Aldridge became an urban district in Staffordshire in 1894. Other villages within the district included Pelsall, Walsall-Wood, Clayhanger and Streethay. The urban district merged with that of Brownhills in 1966 to form Aldridge-Brownhills, and then became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall in 1974.

Retirement Guys: What would Dad do?Written by Nolan Baker Mark Clair | | email@example.com
Time continues to fly by and here we are again with another Father's Day upon us. This is a time to honor our fathers, and reflect on how they have molded and shaped our lives. Many of us have had the benefit of our fathers being a positive influence on us.
Here at The Retirement Guys, it is part of our philosophy to not forget lessons learned from the past — things we have learned from our parents, grandparents and others who have had a positive effect on us. We take these lessons in hard work, perseverance, sacrifice, tenacity and character and add them to the many things we now have at our disposal that we did not in years past. This includes things like new technology, ideas and strategies that help us do things better than we ever have before. If you think about it, though, it is important to have a foundation in good character. It is important to make good decisions and to do the right thing. Although it is ultimately up to us what kind of people we choose to be, our parents (especially our fathers) and grandparents probably had something to do with how we turned out.
We asked members of The Retirement Guys team what they remembered about things their fathers said or did that have stuck with them. Here are a few examples: "Hard work beats talent," and "Do it right or do it again." It occurred to us that there was a resounding theme in those "words of advice" from the dear old dads. In honor of Father's Day, we'd like to recommend following the below father-like recommendations to help guide you to the best financial plan possible:
1. Identify an emergency or rainy day account
Make sure there is enough money in this account to last you in an emergency for up to six months. Gaining financial independence starts with building up a liquid account, such as a savings or money market account, to cover short-term emergencies that will come up. An emergency could be a new furnace, a major car repair or unexpected health care bills.
2. Move money from the left pocket to the right
This means pay yourself first. Complete a budget to find out where money is going on a monthly basis and then identify ways to change spending habits. It could be eliminating two nights dining out and instead opting for a movie night or playing cards with a spouse or friends at home. Instead of signing up for the gym membership, try free alternatives such as group runs or biking in our local metro parks. A few simple and easy changes could save several hundreds of dollars a month that can be put into building the emergency account up.
3. Eliminate all outstanding debts
When someone has debt he or she is a slave to the lender, subject to rules and changes with limited or no control. Principles of saving can become a habit and since it can take a few months to build up an emergency account, those habits can become a regular way of life. Once the emergency account is built up, redirect those savings dollars toward debt elimination.
4. Increase the amount of money being saved for retirement
Time flies and what seems like a long way off will be here before you know it. Remember that financial independence means freedom from control or influence of another or others. At any point, the company retirement plan could change, be it the pension, health expenses, etc. The same should be expected with government benefits such as Social Security for yourself or a survivor along with all government benefits. The single best way to address this is to save and invest on your own. Put away 20 percent of earnings in a retirement savings account. Save as much as possible once debts are eliminated and increase savings every time there is a pay raise.
It is amazing to me how much a father's love and approval means to all of us. We recommend that you stop letting circumstances and others control your financial future and do some of the things Dad would do. As true to life, don't rely and expect others to take care of you in the future; take personal financial responsibility. It will take some time; it will take some effort, but won't being able to reach your Freedom Day be worth it? Your dad would be so proud of you knowing that you are in control of a solid financial retirement plan. In the meantime, The Retirement Guys wish you all a very Happy Father's Day.

You had me at chocolate spread. That is what my boyfriend said when I told him my idea for this recipe. Holy moly, this spread is amazing. I had to stop myself from eating it all in one sitting. I even turned this recipe into cookies and crackers (which will be posted after the holidays). I hope everyone is having a wonderful December.

Special to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2000 The Defense Department's top doctor is the scheduled kickoff speaker of a women's health seminar series beginning noon March 1 at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery here.
Dr. Sue Bailey, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, will lead the inaugural program with a discussion of health issues for deploying military women. March 1 is the start of Women's History Month.
The free, public "brown bag lunch" seminars will be held monthly from noon to 1 p.m. at the memorial. The 12 seminars are targeted at military women, women veterans and health care professionals and are a source of continuing education credit for nurses and physicians, event planners said.
Guest lecturers scheduled through July are Dr. David Satcher, "Wellness/Healthy People 2010," April 4; Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, "Mental Health," May 2; Dr. Harold Rosen, "Osteoporosis," June 6; and Dr. Wayne B. Jonas, "Complementary and Alternative Medicine," July 11.
The seminars are co-sponsored by the Women in Military Service for America Memorial Foundation, the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, and the Department of Veterans Affairs' Center for Women Veterans.
To reserve seating and for additional information about memorial activities, visit the Women in Military Service for America Memorial Foundation, Inc. Web site at http://www.womensmemorial.org/, or call Jennifer Finstein at the memorial at (703) 533-1155 or (800) 222- 2294.

"[The seats] are different price points from $500 to $150, so that's a nice way for anyone to help us out," Mundy said.
Currently, work is focused on a new sprinkler system, the front doors to the building and updating the bathrooms, which is currently being paid for by a nearly $100,000 grant from Rep. John M. McHugh, R-Pierrepont Manor. Mundy said she has found many politicians responding positively to the project and securing money for the Strand.
"[U.S. Sen.] Kirsten Gillibrand has been very helpful as well as [U.S. Sen. Charles] Schumer," Mundy said. "Both of them know that this is a major key in jumpstarting the revitalization of Plattsburgh and attracting businesses, and tourists."
State Sen. Elizabeth O'C. Little, R-Queensbury, and state Assemblywoman Janet L. Duprey, R-Peru, are also among those who Mundy said have been "very helpful."
Mundy explained as more gets done, more events will be able to take place at the Strand Theatre, beginning with local events.
"As we progress and get more sophisticated, we'll be able to have regional events," she said. "Then, once it's totally done, we can have touring Broadway shows and music from everywhere."
Currently, Mundy is waiting to hear about a grant to replace the roof, so even more work can be completed in the interior of the building.
"I've written a roof grant through New York State Council for the Arts," she explained. "Again, it's a matching grant, but once I get a new roof, then I don't mind spending the money in here. We've patched, we've spent some money, we're protected, but before we put $2 million in here, we want a new roof."
If interested in supporting the Strand Theatre Restoration Project, contact the NCCCA at 563-1604 or visit their Web site at www.plattsburgharts.org.
"It's a labor of love," said Mundy. "There's a lot of people doing a lot of things."

Record-breaking cyclist from Bideford care home passes away aged 100
Posted: May 23, 2014|
A WOMAN who cycled almost 30,000 miles around the UK in 1938 passed away shortly after her 100th birthday.
Billie Fleming, who lived at Care South's Kenwith Castle care home in Bideford, passed away on May 12 after a short illness.
The Journal ran a story about Lilian 'Billie' Fleming, as she was known, just four days earlier which talked about her passion for cycling.
When she was 24 Billie set off on a challenge to cycle every day for a year to highlight the health benefits of the sport.
Related content
She rode an amazing 29,604 miles in 1938, setting a women's record.
Billie's stepson, Peter Samwell, paid tribute to her life.
"My wife and I had spent the time with her since her fall and were with her at the end," he said. "Billie had so wanted to reach 100 years old and she passed that milestone but sadly her bike ride of life finished just one month later.
"She was a remarkable woman who had achieved so much in her lifetime including riding 29,604 miles around the UK in 1938 to set a still unbeaten world record.
"She did it not to break a record but because she believed passionately in cycling and wanted to show people how cycling could be great source of fitness, and even today she still inspires others to take up this sport."
In 1938 Billie was the 'Rudge Whitworth Keep Fit Girl' and a 41-year-old mum wrote to Billie last week, not knowing that she had passed away, to say how she had been inspired by Billie and saw her as the original 'Girl Power'.
"A self-effacing woman about her achievements, Billie could have asked for no better epitaph than that," said Mr Samwell.
"Billie is now reunited with her beloved husband, my father, George Fleming, another famous cyclist, who died in 1997."
Her funeral will be on June 3 at 2.20pm at the North Devon Crematorium and the family have asked for donations to The Cornwall Leukaemia Trust in lieu of flowers as George died of leukaemia.

Of, course, all the "nutty conspiracy theorists" predicted exactly this scenario...
Use Al-CIAda to get rid of the semi-stable old dictator who was playing ball with the west, then complain about the resulting instability; thus opening the door to direct intervention in the region.
Funny how that worked out to a T...

More to the point, why is Fox News that is controlled by the elite getting a one on one interview with Obama to criticise him on national TV?
Do your research man. Look up Ben swann and his media company that he works for. He doesn't work for fox they are merely affiliates with his company raycom media.

For technicians and repair professionals, a well-designed LED flashlight can boost productivity and comfort on the job. Many such experts abhor spending too much time rattling around in their toolboxes, looking for the best LED light. When you must be able to see into dark, dusty, cramped spaces in order to make repairs, achieving the right brightness, beam focus and run time is crucial.
Our new HP2 and HP3 lights make it easy to adjust these variables on the fly, making them ideal for handy men and women everywhere. Indeed, with an HP2 or HP3 flashlight, most technicians will only need to use a single light when on the job – talk about easy! These new LED flashlight models are now in stock and available for purchase. Let's look a little more closely at each LED light:
HP2 LED Flashlight
The HP2 Lumen Focusing LED Inspection Light offers 66 lumens that reach as far as 275 feet. (Such a strong beam will certainly reach into the far expanses of the next crawl space you need to examine.) This lightweight LED flashlight runs for 2 hours and 30 minutes on a single AAA battery and is compact enough, at four inches in length, to carry comfortably in your shirt pocket.
Inspectors and technicians will especially appreciate the Pure Beam™ focusing optic in the HP2. This feature allows the light to be adjusted from a floodlight to a more focused beam with a spotlight in the center. The floodlight setting is great for seeing your surroundings, while the focused Bulls-Eye Spot™ option is perfect for scouting out tucked-away pipes, electrical circuitry and so forth.
HP3 LED Flashlight
The HP3, in contrast, is longer (5.9 inches) and brighter (80 lumens) than the HP2. It runs for 2 hours on two AAA batteries. That extra juice allows the HP3 to shine up to 341 feet! This LED flashlight is strong enough to illuminate the deepest crevices of a home or business, making your inspection or repair job that much easier.
Like the HP2, the HP3 features our exclusive Pure Beam™ focusing optic, allowing you to choose between the floodlight setting for close-up work or the Bulls-Eye Spot™ for lighting up longer distances. A rubber bezel ring on both models makes it a snap to change the LED light's focus.
Both the HP2 and the HP3 boast a no-slip pocket clip, removing the possibility that your favorite new LED light will slip out unexpectedly. (Even if your HP2 or HP3 does slip out and bounce off the floor, it will still function thanks to the unbreakable LEDs inside.) Finally, both models are covered by our lifetime guarantee against defects in workmanship and materials.
Repair experts and technicians will enjoy the power and precision of our new HP2 and HP3 LED flashlights, now in stock.

Below is the poem entitled Women in Darkness which was written by poet
Lucas. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Woodrow Lucas
Fighting to stay hungry for life,
In darkness,
Chains cutting through gang green brown black skin,
The smell of death choking from without,
The sound of fury raging deep within,
Fighting to keep master's hands off their back,
Fighting to keep their skirts from off the ground,
Fighting to hide the baby's color from dejected and angry housemates,
Fighting to avoid wrath,
"Woman where's my dinner"
"Woman I'm a get my belt!"
"Woman you're just a low down, dirty ______"
"Woman if you don't, if you don't, if you don't!"
Fighting to live on child support,
Fighting the temptation to sell bodies for bread,
Fighting the smell of death choking from without,
The sound of fury raging deep within,
Women in Darkness,
My Great great grandmother, her mother, and her mother.
Fighting dark in darkness,
Raging for a new tomorrow.

The tentative title for he ABA Convention 2000 is "Reading the Signs of the Time: The Good News of Monastic Life." The place of the convention will be St. Meinrad Archabbey, St. Meinrad, IN. The dates will be August 10-13, 2000. The American Benedictine Academy board was unanimous in stressing that this first convention in the new millennium should be positive in tone and place a particular emphasis on our hopes and directions for the future. In conjunction with this, the board will attempt to get more young monastics involved in the Convention 2000, both in the presentations and the responses. Five basic areas or topics were proposed for the convention presentations:
1) Monasteries Without Walls: This topic intends to address the growing phenomenon of monastic "oblates," "associates," and "friends." These are men and women from Catholic and other Christian traditions who are attracted to a Benedictine way of life, especially in terms of spirituality, but do not live regularly in a monastery. Monasteries relate to these various groups in different ways. The common experience, however, is that the number of these people interested in our way of life is increasing. What is this growing phenomenon saying to monasticism specifically and the church in general?
2) Monasticism within a Culture of Technology and the Internet: In many ways technology is bringing about the "death of distance." It is rapidly reshaping almost every aspect of our culture. There is absolutely no doubt that monasticism is and will continue to be influenced by this reshaping. How should monasticism respond to such a powerful influence? What opportunities does technology and the Internet present to monastic communities? What are the cautions we must exercise?
3) The Monastic Dream for the Future: The women and men who are entering our communities today are in many ways quite different from those who entered in decades past. They bring to the monastery a wide diversity of personal experiences and talents. They also bring expectations, hopes for the future, and a very real, if undefined, dream of monastic life. These are the people who will carry on and reshape the traditions of our monastic communities. The ABA board feels that it is important for us to hear from some of these men and women. Therefore, we intend to invite a panel of junior monastic men and women to speak to us about their expectations, hopes for the future, and dreams of monastic life.
4) Sharing the Good News of Monastic Life: Monastic tradition throughout the ages has been packed with "Good News" and remarkable experiences of the many men and women who live it day by day. Our personal experiences are important and they are also a part of a greater whole. We would like to get a glimpse of that whole by sharing some of these personal experiences with one another in some smaller group settings. To accomplish this, we will take some time and assemble in small groups where we will have an opportunity to share some of our personal "Good News" of monastic life with others. This will give us not only the opportunity to speak, but also to listen.
5) Monasticism, Ecology and Our Precious Resources of Time and Space: All life is relational. Benedictine life is accurately aware of this and therefore strongly promotes the concept of balance in everything a monastic person is and does. We cannot abuse our natural resources and expect to survive any more than we can abuse our spiritual resources and expect to live. This balance and respect has not been a value for much of society throughout the greater part of the twentieth century. If there is to be a future for the earth, then it cannot repeat the patterns of the past. What role ought monasticism play in this future? What do we have to contribute?
The ABA Board voted unanimously to create a new section entitled Benedictine Information Technology. This new section is an outgrowth of the Benedictine Internet Commission which, having completed its original task, dissolved. Many Benedictine men and women are active and interested in the Internet and other elements of information technology. This new section will give us an opportunity to continue working in this very significant area and sharing our experiences with one another. Brother Richard Oliver of Saint John's Abbey, Collegeville, MN, has been asked to facilitate this new section. Anyone interested in being a part of this section, Benedictine Information Technology, should contact Brother Richard.

He coaches singles who will search to the ends of the earth for their soulmates, but Bachelorette host Chris Harrison, 41, doesn't have to look farther than his feet for the love of his life.
The recently single father of two – son Joshua is 11 and daughter Taylor is 9 – tells PEOPLE that his 2-year-old Havanese is the perfect partner.
"Baxter is the love of our life," says Harrison, who also hosts The Bachelor. "I was never a small-dog person, but I am now."
Much like Desiree Hartsock's current search for love on the reality show, though, finding the perfect pooch was quite difficult for Harrison, since son Joshua suffers from severe allergies.
"He went through shots so he could have a dog – that's how determined he was to get one," says Harrison. "I told him, 'If you get your allergy shots, you can do this.' He went through all the pain."
On the journey to find a hypoallergenic dog that his son could be around, big-dog lover Harrison discovered that he could in fact open his heart to the Havanese, a tiny breed that originated in Cuba. However, his little guy's personality is anything but small.
"I will say that he's a small dog that plays like a big dog," Harrison adds. "It's a tough, small dog."

The Louisville Bar Association Young Lawyers Section will host a candidate forum at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 9, in the Louisville Bar Center, 600 W. Main St. in downtown Louisville.
Four Democratic candidates — Carol H. Cobb, Stephen P. Ryan, Thomas A. Van De Rostyne and Thomas B. Wine — will be in attendance. Because no candidates from the Republican or other parties filed to run, the winner of the May primary faces a clear path to victory in November.
Through a panel of facilitators, each candidate will be asked select questions that were solicited through an open request from stakeholders in the local criminal justice system including prosecutors, public defenders, private criminal defense attorneys, clerks, court designated workers, social workers, and victims' advocates. Due to time constraints, rebuttals will not be allowed.
A meet-and-greet reception with the candidates will immediately follow the one-hour program. The candidate forum is open to the public.

Dim Sum Classics: How to Make Pork-Stuffed Bean Curd Rolls
Smooth and a little sweet with a mild soybean flavor, fresh bean curd skin is a delicacy. At dim sum houses, it's often stuffed with a mixture of ground pork with mushrooms and ginger, then bathed in a mild yet rich chicken stock-based sauce. While it's typically a breakfast item, these rolls also make a good dinner dish when served with rice alongside. More

The BMW 6 Series coupe will be available at dealerships later this fall, and now BMW has taken the wraps off the entire engine and model range of the 6-Series Coupe.
And it looks like they are giving the 6-Series the star treatment with availability of a diesel variant (640d), an xDrive variant (650i) and of course M-Sport and Individual vehicles. The new xDrive system will only be available on the 650i, but as was reported earlier a 6-cylinder 640i is now available, which should make … CONTINUED
We bring you the first clear look at the 2012 6-series M-sport kit on an F13 coupe. Although covered in camouflage tape, it's easy to make out the shape and style of the various 6-series M sport parts – the front bumper, sideskirts, and rear bumper. In our opinion, the beefy new front bumper which adds to the 6-series' thin and angular front fascia gives BMW's top end coupe a much more aggressive character.
The front bumper draws some lines from the F10 5-series M-sport (notably … CONTINUED

July 30, 2015
LOS ANGELES -- The simple wooden coffin that was supposed to be Lee Harvey Oswald's final resting place has been sold at auction for more than $87,000, and will soon have a new resting place of its own.
The coffin was put on the auction block late last month by a Texas funeral home owner who swapped it with Oswald's family for a new one when the body was briefly exhumed in 1981.
It sold Thursday evening for $87,469, which includes a 20 percent buyers' fee.
Nate D. Sanders of Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Santa Monica, Calif., declined to provide details on the winning bidder. But he said the bidder might speak to the public on Friday.
The auction was extended two hours because of a last-minute rush of bidding.
Oswald was arrested in President John F. Kennedy's 1963 death but was slain two days later by nightclub owner Jack Ruby.

boardwalk hall is pretty big, though -- i'm pretty sure the capacity is close to 15,000. lady gaga kicked off the final leg of the monster ball tour there. and there's something so a.c. about diamond dave.
the kool and the gang pairing does feel a little strange, and i think you're right to wonder how a hard rock audience will receive "spirit of the boogie," etc. then again, it's not like everybody doesn't know those songs. it may just turn into a huge singalong. i'm going to try to talk to them a little closer to the msg date, and i'll ask them. maybe they're huge van halen fans!
Coldwife, I mentioned the Smithereens above. When I learn more about what's going on and why the Court is closed, I will post more.
Etta James' influence is apparent in modern pop. You can draw a straight line from Etta James to the biggest young star in contemporary music: Adele.
I do hope you realize that you're proving Springsteen's point.
That's definitely how I hear the song, Susan.
The song is available for purchase as a download at Amazon. But Brucespringsteen.net has also posted it to its front page, so if you'd like to sample before you buy (or just listen and walk away), you can direct your web browser over there.
It's possible that radio stations will get the single too, but all I know for sure is that it'll be available at that Amazon link.
I'm well aware I'm not invited, Richard.

New Year's Resolutions
I'm not much into New Year's resolutions. I find it an odd tradition. If you really want to change your life, why wait until January 1 to start? But perhaps it's a positive thing if it helps us to truly focus on being better human beings — even if our New Year's resolutions only…

A Child in the Midst
One of the great Bible stories we love to talk about at Compassion is when Jesus brought a child into the midst of a conversation He was having with the disciples (Matthew 18). Jesus pretty much stopped a very serious discussion and turned His focus to a child. And, in doing so, He brought…
Arpita's Miracle
This is a true story about a young girl in one of Compassion's child development centers in India.
Last summer, heavy rains poured into the village where 12-year-old Arpita lives.
The ground, already saturated from previous rains, left nowhere else for the waters to go … so the entire village flooded. Muddy water, one…
Why We Can't End Poverty
I realize that what I'm about to post isn't going to be very popular. But I'm willing to post it because I hope it will start a healthy discussion.
Here it is: Over the past few years, I've heard this phrase come up literally dozens of times at missions conferences, ministry events, churches, on blogs,…
Human Becoming
It may sound odd, but I never really thought about the word "being" in the phrase "human being." To me, the phrase has always meant the same thing as just plain "human" so the word "being" was, in my mind anyway, superfluous.
Why do we call ourselves human beings? Is there another kind of human?

Shane meets with Neela, Jack asks Todd to spend Christmas Eve with their family, and Cutter confesses the truth...
While Jack's in the bathroom at The Sun, Neela takes a call from Shane. Did she get Jack to confess? Neela holds the taped confession. Shane begs her to meet him then hangs up. Out in the hall, Jack runs into Todd, who asks what's wrong. Jack thinks about his confession to Neela, who appears. She has to leave. Todd gives them some time. Jack wonders if she's leaving because of what he said. Neela denies it but pulls away when Jack tries to kiss her goodbye. Jack rejoins Todd and claims he doesn't need him. He has Neela. Todd understands Jack's upset… It's the holidays and he's missing Victor. Jack interrupts and apologizes. He knows Todd didn't kill Victor. He gives Jack money to buy Neela a Christmas present. After all Neela's done for him, Jack wants to buy her something nice. He thanks Todd then asks him to spend Christmas with their family. Todd accepts. "You were going to make me invite you eventually," Jack says.
Aubrey catches Shane leaving the Buchanan Mansion. He's going to meet Neela. Aubrey warns Shane if Jack told Neela anything, she might want to keep his confidence. Later, Rama arrives with a gift for Aubrey, who whines about Rex not being ready to move on. Over talk of Shane, Aubrey warns Rama to keep an eye on Neela's involvement with Jack. Rama chalks it up to a teenager with a crush and gushes about her holiday card from Cris. Aubrey holds Gigi's stocking. Rama promises Aubrey will get her happy ending and meet the man of her dreams.
Shane finds Neela in Angels Square and begs her to help him give his dad good news. She admits Jack confessed but only claims he spoke of Shane's bullying. Shane blames himself. He should've died- not his mom! He wishes he could go back in time. Neela admits she lied then hands Shane the recorder.
Dani appears at the Manning Estate as Tea comments to John about dealing with the secret she's keeping about Todd. Tea covers then snaps when Dani admits she bought Todd, her father, a Christmas gift. "Victor is your father," Tea asserts. "Todd is not your father." John interrupts and explains Tea's sensitivity, due to the baby. When Dani leaves to answer the door, John reminds Tea the best way to protect Tomas is to hide what she knows about Todd. If she goes after Todd with all of this animosity, he'll figure out they're on to him. Tea agrees to keep her cool and stay away from Todd altogether. Dani opens the door to Nate. They exchange gifts then talk about what happened with Rick, the porn and how it affected them. Things have changed… They've missed each other and kiss. After Nate leaves, Dani brings Tea a delivery, flowers from Todd. Tea tries to show her gratitude then privately vents to John about Todd's nerve.
In Texas, at the Bon Jour Café, Cutter tells Gigi she's not Stacy and explains why the surgeon wouldn't operate on her. He insists she's Gigi. Rex calls Cutter a liar then punches him when he says, "I care about you, Gigi." Rex ties and gags Cutter, as Gigi pleads Cutter's case. She's stunned when Rex lists Cutter's crimes and calls him a conman. The cops arrive and confirm Cutter's wanted on murder in Kentucky. Gigi calls him on his lies. Cutter's dragged away, swearing that she's Gigi. She apologizes to Rex for trusting Cutter. Rex doesn't know what he's doing with her when he has someone back in Llanview who cares about him. As Rex grills Gigi, she snaps, "I would give anything to go back in time and remember…" Professor Del Fina appears and offers to help. When Del Fina says, "Don't give up," Rex finds the messages gone from the pages of the book he gave him. Del Fina talks about his father, the time traveler, and asks how far back Gigi wants to go. He brings up how his father brought a couple who didn't belong in 1968 back to the future. Though the porthole only opens every twenty years, Del Fina takes out a device that can take them back in time. Rex doesn't buy it. Del Fina reminds them that fate brought them together. Gigi only wants answers and urges Rex to go along with Del Fina, who types into his device: 'Llanview' and the date that Rex lost Gigi. They plug it into an old TV and watch as Gigi leaves the carriage house to run an errand - with a tape recorder. After Gigi leaves, they see Stacy appear from the bushes with Gigi's face. "Is that me?" Gigi asks Rex.
From jail, Cutter calls Aubrey for help.

The good news is Alabama State's basketball team returns home for only the second time this season after Monday's game at Detroit-Mercy.
The bad news is the Hornets are 0-7 and struggling mightily to put the ball in the basket.
At least a couple of the Hornet upperclassmen returned to the floor after clearing up academic issues as both Shawntez Patterson and Phillip Crawford played on Monday for Alabama State, which plays host to Troy on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Dunn-Oliver Acadome.
"There are a lot of positives that we can take away from this game as we continue to move forward," ASU coach Lewis Jackson said. "Getting some guys back will help us as they get some more time in. The older guys will be playing more minutes so that way the younger guys don't have to play as many as they did in the first five or six games. We are on the right track and once the guys learn they have to compete for 40 minutes some positive things will start to happen."

Feds Fine Hyundai-Kia $100 Million for Overstating MPG
by The Associated Press Nov 3rd 2014 12:17PM
Hyundai and Kia will pay a $100 million civil penalty to end a two-year investigation into overstated gas mileage figures on 1.2 million vehicles.
Hyundai and Kia will pay a $100 million civil penalty to end a two-year investigation into overstated gas mileage figures on 1.2 million vehicles.
Ford is recalling about 205,000 SUVs in cold-weather states and parts of Canada to fix gas tanks that can rust, leak and cause a fire.
Chrysler recalls more than 566,000 cars because malfunctioning fuel heaters can cause fires or a software glitch can disable a key safety system.
Ford's profits were down last quarter, but with the F-150 reboot, that was always part of the plan. Here's what else we can learn from the latest report.
General Motors will shift production of the transmission on the 2016 Chevrolet Volt from Mexico to Michigan, the Detroit-based automaker says.
Ford's third-quarter pre-tax profits fell by more than half as it geared up for the launch of its all-new aluminum-body F-150 pickup.
Ford Motor's third-quarter earnings fell 34 percent but beat Wall Street expectations on a strong showing in North America even as revenue fell.
General Motors reported a third-quarter profit that beat estimates Thursday, thanks in part to strong U.S. sales of pickup trucks and SUVs.
General Motors says its third-quarter profit nearly doubled as strong earnings in North America and China outweighed struggles in Europe and South America.
Safety regulators expand the number of vehicles in the U.S. that may be affected by recalls for potentially defective Takata air bags.
Toyota is recalling 247,000 cars in the U.S. because of potentially defective front passenger air bag inflators that can rupture and spray metal shrapnel.
Chrysler is recalling nearly 907,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep SUVs and cars for failing alternators and heated power mirrors that can cause minor fires.
Toyota says it will recall 1.67 million vehicles to fix three separate defects including a faulty master cylinder that could hinder the brake's performance.
Chrysler is recalling 184,215 SUVs worldwide because a wiring problem could disable their air bags and seat belt pretensioners.
Sales of Chrysler's Ram are booming, thanks to generous incentives, Ford's production issues and the Ram becoming a well-respected pickup.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles could sell up to $830 million worth of shares to boost its finances after it lists on Wall Street next week.
GM recalls more than 57,000 vehicles for potential problems ranging from a wiring problem in the steering column to inadvertent shutdown of the engine.
General Motors announced two more recalls, pushing its total for the year to 71, affecting almost 30 million vehicles in North America.
As crazy as it might seem, there are big behind-the-scenes moves being made to turn Cadillac into a global luxury-car leader. Here's what GM has in mind.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is buying the privately owned auto dealership company Van Tuyl Group.
General Motors says it has enough parts available to fix all the faulty ignition switches that are blamed for at least 23 deaths nationwide.
September sales won't be as hot as August, the best month in eight years, but industry analysts still expect them to be strong.
Ford's sales are down in a U.S. market where overall sales are up. Its pickups are losing market share. But Ford says everything is going according to plan.
Chrysler is recalling nearly 350,000 cars and SUVs to fix ignition switches that could unexpectedly shut off the engines.
Treasury excessively paid top executives at GM and Ally while those companies were part of a taxpayer-funded government loan program, a report finds.
General Motors is adding 750 workers to a Missouri factory in anticipation of high demand for two new small pickup trucks.
Nevada won a high-stakes battle with four other states for Tesla Motors' coveted battery factory, but the win comes with a hefty price tag.
August auto sales were the highest for that month since 2003, thanks in part to heavy discounting by the manufacturers and a strong Labor Day weekend.
A record number of U.S. consumers are taking out loans to buy cars, especially those purchasing used vehicles, according to data from Experian.
Spiders weaving webs that block a hose to vent gasoline vapors have caused Suzuki Motor of America to recall about 19,000 Kizashi midsize sedans.

In 3ds Max 2011 Essential Training, author Aaron F. Ross demonstrates how to use this top-tier application for digital content creation, widely used in diverse industries such as architecture, industrial design, motion pictures, games and virtual worlds. This course covers modeling with polygons, curves, and subdivision surfaces, defining surface properties with materials and maps, setting up cameras and lights, animating objects, and final output rendering. Exercise files accompany the course.
Continuing with our exploration of adding and removing detail in Editable Poly Object, I have got a couple of really cool tools I want to share with you that will make it very easy for you to add and remove Edge Loops. The first one is the Remove Loop Tool. This is found within the Edge Sub-object mode. So I'll select my object, and go to Edge Sub-object mode and all I need to do is select a single edge and up here, I have got the Remove Loop button, and I just click that button and boom! The whole Edge Loop is gone, including the associated vertices.
So if I go to Vertex mode and investigate, it's removed all those vertices as well. That's a real-time saver because it's very common. You are going to need to do this to remove edges and in a whole loop. So that's the Remove Loop Tool. Very cool! Now the other one I want to show you is even cooler than that, and that is a SwiftLoop Tool, and that's going to allow you to interactively add new edge loops and see a preview while you're doing it. The SwiftLoop Tool is found in Object mode. So I'll need to be in Object mode.
I'll have to exit any Sub-object mode I might be in, and you'll see SwiftLoop up here. So I'll activate the SwiftLoop Tool, and then as I move my mouse around on here, that green line is a preview showing the new Edge Loop that's going to be built. So if I select an edge or hover my mouse over an edge, I'll get a new Edge Loop perpendicular to that edge. So if I hover my mouse up here, you would see I'd be adding an Edge Loop in the vertical dimension.
Well, what I want to do is I want to add a little bit more detail down here. So I'll just position my cursor and click once and boom! Our new Edge Loop has been built, and how cool is that. I'll add another one here as well because I want to create a little bit of a fillet down there, little rounded corner. So I will click once, and I have got another Edge Loop, very nice. So I can exit out of SwiftLoop mode by right-clicking in the Viewport to exit the tool, and I can go back to Edge mode, and go into Loop mode, and select this Edge Loop down here.
And then just grab the Scale Tool with the R key and scale that up or down. Maybe I'll grab the Move Tool with the W key. I'll orbit around a little bit, so I can grab my gizmo a little bit better, and I can move that up, and now I've got my little fillet. So graphite makes it really easy for you to add and remove Edge Loops and to work with Edge Loops rather than individual edges.

The new milestone of Firefox is almost here!
Firefox 3.0b1 is released a few days ago and already shows positive results in performance, it runs faster, uses less memory and has nice new features! The most important improvement is the performance, Firefox was the slowest of the 3 especially when starting up and had a memory leak that let it consume lot of memory quite rapidly. I didn't care so much, when I browse I rather have full use of my system, so if it uses a lot of memory so what, but then again memory leaks are never a good thing.
Already many people wrote something about it on their blog, but there is only one that I read and find interesting enough to link here.And that is: http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=960 an entry made by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes where he writes a little about memory usage.

Intel considers iOS, Windows Phone gear as Medfield options
updated 12:15 pm EST, Thu January 12, 2012
Apple likely to refuse use of Intel chips
The VP of Intel's architecture group, Dave Whalen, says the company has been "talking to everybody" about using its Medfield chips in mobile devices, according to UK paper The Telegraph. "When we took over [development] in April we took a conscious decision to focus on Android," Whalen elaborates. "Windows, other operating systems -- we recognize that there will be opportunities. It's not a 'no,' it's just not now. When the time's appropriate we'll look at other OSs."
On the subject of Apple, Whalen simply states that as iOS continues to grow, "we talk to everybody." Apple is extremely unlikely to use Intel processors in the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch however, as it switched to custom-designed processors for iOS in 2010. These have allowed special performance tweaks that might be difficult or impossible with stock hardware. Apple does use Intel processors, but only in Macs.
Any changes to Intel chips for cellphones will be based on demand, says Whalen. "It's down to our customers -- at the moment our customers are asking for Android," he remarks.
