Hi! I hope that you are having a great week! I wanted to do something different for the newsletter this week and I really hope that you will find it beneficial (and be able to relate to parts of it too). While I hear from many people that it is very inspiring for them to receive my newsletters because of motivation, I think it's also important for you to really know where I came from before I got to where I am now.
I have been binge-free for over 7-years and I have never felt better… and I think that you know that by reading my newsletters and my blog. I've regained my life back and I am now the one that is in full control of food, not vice versa. I think that I do a good job of showing you what it is like to live a binge-free life (and I hope that you agree!).
I can't help but wonder though… You need to know how I was before I got to where I am now. You need to know what it was like for me when I was struggling just like you might be… And that's just what I want to share with you today. Of course my eBook does a great job of showing you where I came from, but for those of you who haven't gotten it yet or just need help – Let me share a few things with you from my journal.
Most of you know that I am a firm believer in keeping a journal daily when trying to overcome binge eating disorder. It's one of the most therapeutic things you can do for yourself. It makes your food and thought patterns apparent and gives you more precise insight to why you are bingeing. It's just such an awesome tool!!
Well, it's time for me to pull out some of my old journal entries and share with you just a little bit from my past… Ready?? (I'm just copying what I wrote years ago, so excuse any language, grammar, etc – It's a journal entry, not a book
Also note that if you subscribe to my newsletter, you had a chance to read some of my other journal entries. The entires below have never been shared before…
My Binge Eating Disorder Journal Entries
I'm not sure why I have turned to food in the past. If something good happens – great, I stop and celebrate by eating. If something not-so-great happens, I will comfort myself by eating. Since none of my friends are like this, I feel so alone.
While my friends were worrying about their 26-inch waist, I watched mine grow past a 32-inch. A 32 is the largest size for jeans by most designers. Do they even know how embarrassing it is to be at Nordstroms, have 5 pairs of 32's, and have none of them fit?
What has happened to me?
Instead of vowing to lose weight, I binge. I don't need anyone to remind me that I've gained weight – I've got a mirror, thanks. All of my friends are skinny and they all worry if they are fat. They are a size 0 or a 2 – If they are fat at that size, what does that make me??
I am so disgusting and feel so sick. Why is my life like this? What is wrong with me? I hate my day-to-day life. I hate not having any control. I hate what I see in the mirror. I just hate it all. I feel so lost right now. No direction and no motivation. I just don't care what happens.
I think that I just need to accept that I will always be like this. I will never get better and that's that. I'm so frustrated with everyone and everything in my life. Is this how it is to grow up? You realize that life gets harder and become more and more confused about things that you thought you were sure of before??
I think that I'm just a messed up person – I mean there is something seriously wrong with me. How come it had to be food? Not drugs, alcohol, or even sex… at least you can abstain from those. Nope, I had to have issues with food… something I need to survive. Great. Why can't I be normal? If I had to have a food problem, why couldn't I at least be skinny and have lack of food?
I just ate so much food. I had a bean burrito, soft taco, nachos, cheddar peppers with ranch, tator tots with cheese, quarter pounder, fries, and a dr. pepper. Oh yeah, from 3 different places. Normal people go to 1 place, get 1 meal, and are done. Not me. I have to go to 3 places, hide the bags of food in my car, and race home. WHY??????
I absolutely hate the person I am.
I bought a card today. At first it was for Rob because I wanted to tell him thank you for being so supportive of everything. The card I picked up has the back of a person standing at a fork in the road. There is a sign with 2 arrows, each pointing a different way.
To the left says "Your Life" and to the right says "No Longer an Option". The person is going towards the left side. The top of the card says "Don't Look Back". When I got ready to write in it, I decided that it was a good card to write to myself… You know, like how The Biggest Loser contestants talk to their "former" self in the videos that they see near the finale?
This was something I had never done. I wrote:
"Dear Kristin,
I know you are ready to get along with your life and stop looking back. I am very proud of you, Kristin, and I know that you are strong and will get over binge eating disorder that seems to have control over you. You are strong. You can only eat when you are hungry.
Food won't be in control of you, but you in control of what you put in your mouth and when. It was a very huge step for you to admit everything to Rob and even bigger to make an appointment to get help. I am so proud of you! This disorder will not hang over your head anymore. You will be the one in control and you will move forward in your life.
Food will no longer be in your thoughts on a consistent basis. You will think about food when you are hungry and your body will let you know when it requires nourishment.
You can do this! You will help others in your quest for winning. You will win!
By admitting this and asking for help, you're made an important change in your life. Again, I am so very proud of you and I have complete confidence that you will overcome binge eating disorder. You can do it!
I believe in you and I love you,
I woke up on Friday and started calling other therapists on my insurance. No luck with getting any other appointments that day. It was just going to be me and C. (a therapist who I had an appointment with that day). Leslie called while I was putting on makeup and I told her I couldn't talk because I had an appointment that I was getting ready for. She asked if everything was all right and I told her that it was going to be all right, but that I really needed to go. She asked, "Do you have cancer? Are you suicidal?" I told her "no" to both and said that I would tell her what was going on when I was ready.
It is difficult holding everything in because I don't know what people might say. Will they think I am weird? Make fun of me? Judge me? Make a bigger deal out of it than it really is? I just don't know. Sometimes it feels like the out of control feeling is much larger than I am – how scary is that?
Today wasn't one of my best days. I had breakfast and was all set to eat the lunch that Rob packed me when eating at Lopez's entered my mind. I couldn't stop thinking about all of the Mexican food I could eat there. I couldn't get the damn restaurant out of my mind. I decided I was going to go.
The only person I knew that would be up for fatty Mexican food is S. I emailed her and sure enough she agreed. I ate a ton of chips – In fact, we both ate 2 baskets of chips. I ordered my usual #5: puffy queso thing, beef taco, and cheese enchilada. I guess it could have been worse, but I couldn't order more food than that while being in public.
Imagine all the stares I would get. I actually felt sick to my stomach after eating so much though. I have just been doing so good the past 9 days and it upsets me that I gave into Mexican food.
Usually I would have the mentality that since I already ate badly once, why stop there? This time it was different. I'm totally craving popcorn and candy right now. I haven't given into it because I am not hungry. I think I am just bored. I'm trying so hard not to eat it because I know before that I would have give in and stuffed myself to the core… Not this time though.
Apparently Rob wrote me a note on the napkin he put in my lunch. When I got home he asked me about it and I didn't want to tell him that I had Lopez's, so I told him that I didn't even look at my napkin. I hate lying to him about things that involve food, but it was better than telling him that I had Mexican food.
I know that binge eating disorder causes me to lie about things because I'm so scared of people finding out "my secret". I feel like I have become such a liar – or at least I'm not-so-honest all the time. At times I feel like I don't even know who I am. It's like I have to keep up with this secret identity and that is very scary.

Let's ban guns, then we'll ban knives and then we'll ban spoons and before long we will ban keys. Where are the men in this world? Why have they become a bad crop of little boys who don't know how to be respectful of others and most importantly how to treat women? Women no longer get married to a strong man..they basically marry a child to raise. The family dynamic and morality in this world is suffering the wrath of selfishness. Culture has changed and we're too busy looking at our smartphones to adapt and balance the loss of morality. We just keep breeding more selfishness. No body knows how to love and respect their neighbor anymore.
Thanks badger, this is what I wast trying to say in an earlier post of mine, but you said it much better.

Re: itunes credit card fraud in response to jeffrey512
Jeffrey, KUDOS for an excellent post, you should create user tip from that post and every time thread like that one comes up, just post the link. Not only it is the guide, but also an explanation. People, who expects their stolen credit cards to be stopped by retailers, do not know or can imagine how retail works. No store is ever going to call them and say someone stole your card, especially if they have no account with it. All that rage needs to be targeted at structure that compromises your credit card. Somebody stole your card numbers - used it in itunes, tomorrow will use someplace else- look for that person.

Re: itunes credit card fraud in response to jul35
My 6 year old son for the milllionth time asked me to put in my password for some Dinasaur game. It was 1.99. No problem. Ironically the next day I was reviewing my credit card on line and saw over $100.00 of charges from Itunes. I approached my 6 year old and he was clueless... He is well aware of the dangers of spending money... he alwys comes to me even if the app is free. There was no indication of money being spent no emails no warning... Apple Itunes pretty much told me that is the way In-Apps work. I call this scamming... Taking advantage of children with their parents moeny. i removed my credit card from the Itunes account .. will be selling all my apple products... Crooks

P.S. Discover Card explained to me that this is common they are getting fed up with Apple
These days, freemium games – titles that are free to download and install, but your progress in the game becomes stifled or stalled altogether when you run out of in-game credits, and can purchase them using real world currency via your credit card or Paypal account. Well, another of such a case has happened again, where eight-year-old Theo Rowland-Fry from Bristol, England, played The Simpsons: Tapped Out on the family's iPad, and racked a bill of £980 (which amounts to $1,460 thereabouts after conversion), where all that money was used on purchasing virtual donuts in the game.
Theo's father said, "There were more than 100 purchases on iTunes for between £1.50 and £75.00″, and claimed that the family did not receive any kind of emails at all to alert them of the situation. It is nice to know that Apple sympathized with the situation, and has agreed to refund the amount in full, and it is nice to see the game itself come with parental controls from now on.

Re: itunes credit card fraud in response to tinktoy
I am very happy to hear that itunes refunding charges for Theo Rowland, hopefully they will help you out as well. You can use that link to report your charges.
This is itunes and app store terms of service you agreed to in order to use your itunes store account:
That is the line conserning you allowing your five years old to use your account:
This iTunes Service is available for individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 13 or older but under the age of 18, you should review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand it.
That is something that pertains to situation you described:
As a registered user of the iTunes Service, you may establish an account ("Account"). Don't reveal your Account information to anyone else. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Account and for all activities that occur on or through your Account, and you agree to immediately notify Apple of any security breach of your Account. Apple shall not be responsible for any losses arising out of the unauthorized use of your Account.
Here is user to user help forum. You just happen to realize consequenses of allowing to your child to use your account. We all here can understand your pain, but please do not threaten us to sell your apple products. If you do not agree with those terms of service, you had no buisness to use apple devices anyway. Before you start using any apple device - you do have to read and agree to those. Apple never made you accept or agree. YOU are the one who did.

Re: itunes credit card fraud in response to jul35
Looks like I'm one of the latest victims of this iTunes fraud. Look at the first post in this thread, dated the year 2009! Four years later, and there's still people reporting this fraud. Big name news companies have done articles on this problem. FOUR YEARS, and this person or persons is still thieving money from people's accounts, causing banks to refund money to their customers, which proably adds up to, oh, I don't know, A TON OF FREAKIN MONEY by now. I have a pretty good notion Apple's not the one forking out the refund money that your bank uses to cover the cost. This CAN'T continue. All it takes is the right people to really investigate the issue, and we'll have our culprit.

Kudos for brilliant sentiment, that we all agree with. Problem is- fraud (thievery) is one of the oldest world's professions in one line with prostitution. To stop it with one post is dream come true, but you are more then welcome to try.

Re: itunes credit card fraud in response to jul35
I just recently found out about fraud committed with my cc
I've been charged for over 8000 usd on Itunes since April 2012 until April 2013...
Living in Thailand I don't oversee the movements of my bank account myself
My son who does this for me didn't inform me and thought that Daddy can spend his money as he pleases...
After contact with Itunes, they confirmed that no purchases where made by myself, but with the last 4 numbers of my cc they could find back the traces of the fraudulant purchases.
They advised me to ask my bank to turn back the payments towards Itunes.
My bank replied they can not do this and send me to Atos a company in Belgium to do the nessecary...
Atos asked me to contact Itunes directly... just sending the ball back in the other camp...
I'm realy disgusted with this kind of practises.

Re: itunes credit card fraud in response to tinktoy
I have a question about removing your CC information from ITunes. Does removing your information hurt you or apple? It seems to me that apple already has the account information stored on a server so it does not have an impact on apple at all. If apple has a security breach would your information not still be accessible from the server database. Simply removing your information seems to do nothing.

Re: itunes credit card fraud in response to jul35
Same thing has happened to me on several occasions where money has been taken from my credit card account by way of itunes purchases etc. After reading all the posts on this forum I am amazed that this issue has been going on for quite some time . I have also noticed that (after checking other posts on the internet about this issue) there is a reoccuring samelike pattern of events embodying the alledged frauds as put forward by Apple. There is something not quite right abut the manner in which Apple tries to explain away these unauthrised fraudulent credit card transactions. Come on Apple...????????

Re: itunes credit card fraud in response to nimrandall
I would bet my life savings that the unauthorized purchases that a significant percentage of the people in this thread are reporting were, in fact, made by their children. Many of those people still don't know that the purchases were in-app purchases of coins, tokens, etc. in games that can be downloaded and played for free.
It is a fact that even if you have a credit card on file, even if someone has your password, they can only view the last four digits and card type when viewing the Payment information.
When an account is used On a new computer or device to attempt a purchase from the App or iTunes Store with an existing credit card on file, it is required to verify the credit card CVV on the new device in order to verify the new device is authorized to purchase with the current credit card on file. If you change the credit card on file on one device, all other devices and computers will have to go into payment info and confirm the CVV of the new CC before a purchase ca. Be made on each respective device.
Unfortunately, people fall victim to information theft from malware, phishing, corrupt waiters and gas station clerks, modified card scanners, unencrypted online storefronts, etc. every second. The information is often then sold and, unfortunately, often used for digital purchases. Who gets the money for purchases from iTunes? The content providers and developers get the majority, I believe, and Apple takes a cut. Who loses in the end, however? While it should really be the individuals that did not protect their financial information adequAtely or didn't read the terms and neglected to set adequate parental controls, that isn't often the case. With most companies the bank would need to return the funds, but Apple actually has support personnel that specifically handle reports of unauthorized activity on iTunes. And while you mock Apple's explanations of why these cases happen, you should understand that most people are not comfortable with being told that this happens because there are criminals in the world that take advantage of vulnerabilities that exist due to people's ignorance or negligence.

ObsidianCrimsonine Jan 2, 2014 12:10 PM
Re: itunes credit card fraud in response to ObsidianCrimsonine
After doing some of my own research on credit card fraud, I have to say that I am much less peeved at Apple for what is occuring here. In the U.S., our card technology is quite dated, and most of the banks that provide our cards are not implementing new technology that would make them much more secure, simply because the cost of reimbursing customers for the fraudulent charges is cheaper. (source:http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/12/22/weak-us-card-security-ma de-target-a-juicy-target/4165427/)
Fraud like this can happen to anybody, no matter how cautious you are with your card. My information was stolen again in November of 2013, because I purchased flowers for my girlfriend at a local Yoke's grocery store earlier that month. (http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2013/nov/25/yokes-fresh-markets-have-stopped-ta king-credit-deb/) In this instance, the criminal had to have been able to duplicate my card and use it to make a purchase at a 7-11 in Fort Worth, Texas. I live in Washington State.
Although I'm not sure exactly how my information was obtained back in May, the lack of security our cards have make it relatively easy for criminals to steal that information and use it. My best suggestion is, if you're using an account that doesn't have fraud protection, find a bank that does and make the switch. While I can't say that this would protect against the iTunes form of fraud, there are banks that have implemented the digital chip on their cards that make them more secure.
Lastly, I should mention that I don't think this has anything to do with your account information being saved on iTunes. There are more than a few people that have been swindled that didn't have an iTunes account at all. I think who or whomever is doing this has some other method for stealing the account numbers, and iTunes is just a way for them to confirm the accounts are valid. I have many theories, but they are just that.

Room-temperature superconductor
A room-temperature superconductor is a hypothetical material that would be capable of exhibiting superconductivity at operating temperatures above 0° C (273.15 K). While this is not strictly "room temperature", which would be approximately 20–25 °C, it is the temperature at which ice forms and can be reached and easily maintained in an everyday environment. The highest temperature known superconducting materials are the cuprates, which have demonstrated superconductivity at atmospheric pressure at temperatures as high as ‑135 °C (138 K).[1]
It is unknown whether any material exhibiting room-temperature superconductivity exists. Although research into room-temperature superconductivity[2][3] may produce no result, superconductivity has repeatedly been discovered at temperatures that were previously unexpected or held to be impossible.
Finding a room temperature superconductor "would have enormous technological importance and, for example, help to solve the world's energy problems, provide for faster computers, allow for novel memory-storage devices, and enable ultra-sensitive sensors, among many other possibilities."[3]
Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors, several materials have been reported to be room-temperature superconductors, although none of these reports has been confirmed.
In 2000, while extracting electrons from diamond during ion implantation work, Johan Prins claimed to have observed a phenomenon that he explained as room-temperature superconductivity within a phase formed on the surface of oxygen-doped type IIa diamonds in a 10−6 mbar vacuum.[4]
In 2003, a group of researchers published results on high-temperature superconductivity in palladium hydride (PdHx: x>1)[5] and an explanation in 2004.[6] In 2007 the same group published results suggesting a superconducting transition temperature of 260 K.[7] The superconducting critical temperature increases as the density of hydrogen inside the palladium lattice increases. This work has not been corroborated by other groups.
In 2012, an Advanced Materials article claimed superconducting behavior of graphite powder after treatment with pure water at temperatures as high as 300 K and above.[8] So far, the authors have not been able to demonstrate the occurrence of a clear Meissner phase and the vanishing of the material's resistance.
In 2014, an article published in Nature suggested that some materials, notably YBCO (yttrium barium copper oxide), could be made to superconduct at room temperature using infrared laser pulses.[9]
Theoretical work by Neil Ashcroft predicted that solid metallic hydrogen at extremely high pressure (~500 GPa) should become superconducting at approximately room-temperature because of its extremely high speed of sound and expected strong coupling between the conduction electrons and the lattice vibrations (phonons).[10] This prediction is yet to be experimentally verified, as yet the pressure to achieve metallic hydrogen is not known but may be of the order of 500 GPa.
In 1964, William A. Little proposed the possibility of high temperature superconductivity in organic polymers.[11] This proposal is based on the exciton-mediated electron pairing, as opposed to phonon-mediated pairing in BCS theory.

Cristiano Ronaldo's second-half hat-trick denied Northern Ireland an unforgettable scalp at Windsor Park on a night that ended with home manager Michael O'Neill blasting Kyle Lafferty's indiscipline.
While Ronaldo underlined his status as one of the world's most consistent performers with two powerful headers and a late free-kick to seal a 4-2 win for Portugal, Palermo striker Lafferty had been on the field less than 15 minutes when he was sent off for a botched challenge on Joao Pereira.
Lafferty's was the third red card of a turbulent evening - with Helder Postiga and Chris Brunt already dismissed - and although it had the least influence on the final result, it left O'Neill seething.
Lafferty, a substitute on Friday night but so often a first-choice pick for his country, has struggled to make an impact under O'Neill due to injury and suspension but his latest indiscretion represents his lowest moment yet.
"Kyle's was a very reckless challenge, ridiculous to be fair," said O'Neill.
"I think his team-mates deserve better than that, I feel he let the players down.
"We talk about reliability. We don't have that many players and the ones who come, we need them to be reliable and to do what you ask them to do.
"You want players you can rely on."
Brunt received a more lenient hearing, despite his second yellow card coming when Northern Ireland were 2-1 ahead thanks to goals from Gareth McAuley and Jamie Ward.
O'Neill had asked the West Brom midfielder to operate out of position at left-back and allowed him some leeway as a result.
"It was a bit of a lifeline for them, Brunty's sending off and in the last 20 minutes they showed their class," he said.
"But I have sympathy for Chris, playing him at left-back isn't his natural position."
Ronaldo arrived in Belfast one behind the great Eusebio on Portugal's all-time scoring list, but left two clear of his illustrious forebear with 43 international goals.
It is a statistic that O'Neill feels does not flatter the Real Madrid man.
"It's the sign of a world-class player...one of the greatest you will see in this stadium," he said.
"You have to look at the key moments of the game and say Ronaldo (was the difference).
"When he had an opportunity to exploit space he took a real grasp of the game."
Ronaldo also earned the praise of his own coach, Paulo Bento, whose side lead World Cup qualifying Group F from Russia after their win.
"He is a different kind of player, we recognise that...everybody recognises that," he said.
"Of course we are happy and proud to have him with us and to help us in difficult situations.
"He scored three goals and he was crucial.
"I think he will be recognised as one of best players in Portugal's football history for sure."

hate to cook, love to eat?
Is there anything that kind of creeps you out when you cook it, but that you love to eat as the finished product?
I ask this because as I type this there are chicken feet in the crockpot that will give me some lovely stock by morning. But to be perfectly honest, they kind of creep me out to look at them. Fortunately, I won't have to look at them in fhe finished product.
So, what do you hate to cook, but love to eat?

While Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 largely on the notion that he was a post-racial and post-partisan political figure, its rapidly becoming apparent that many Democrats are hoping he can be re-elected by smearing his opponents as racists. That's the upshot of a feature in Politico today that takes note that many liberals are using the image of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer wagging her finger at the president during an airport confrontation as proof that Republicans are racially biased.
The idea that Brewer's finger wagging was racist is beyond absurd. Their argument had nothing to do with race. Moreover, Obama has made a habit of lecturing and wagging his own finger at opponents while nose-to-nose with them. As Politico notes, Brewer was even criticized for noting that it was Obama who was attempting to intimidate her and that he was intolerant of criticism. But equally absurd is the idea that Obama has been subjected to more abuse than his predecessors or that Republicans are using "dog whistle" racist arguments to whip up sentiment against him. Having failed to govern effectively during his three-plus years in office, Obama can't run on a record of success. So he must instead seek to demonize his opponents and, indeed, all critics, by trying to still their voices by making them fear they will be accused of the one political sin for which there is no forgiveness in contemporary Western society: racism.
Obama and his defenders seem to want to have it both ways. They believe the president should be free to lecture his critics and to employ the crudest sort of class warfare tactics to delegitimize opposing views. But they also seek to categorize any sign of resistance to Obama's charms as a form of lèse-majesté. Presumably, when governors of states are being intimidated on airport tarmacs by thin-skinned presidents, the only proper attitude is for them to simply stand at attention and take it without demurral.
Obama has been subjected to some brutal criticism and a lot of disrespect, some of which is highly regrettable. But so was his immediate predecessor. Anger at Obama is but an echo of the liberal campaign to delegitimize George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Few in the chattering classes who now carry on about abuse of Obama ever gave a second thought to the vile things said about Bush and Cheney.
As for the dog whistle arguments, this is another form of political trickery that seeks to avoid discussion of certain topics. I'm no fan of Newt Gingrich, but his invocation of Obama as a food stamp president has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with his attempt to remind voters of the same arguments he made during the GOP's successful attempt to reform welfare. The point is that Democrats like Obama who seek to perpetuate the dependence of the poor on the government — especially racial minorities — are doing far more harm than good. Pointing this out isn't racism; it's just sensible and realistic social policy.
Branding Republicans as racists is important for Democrats because so many leading GOP figures are themselves minorities. The Republicans are now a diverse party with Hispanics like Senator Marco Rubio and New Mexico Governor Susanna Martinez, Indian-Americans like Governors Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley and, yes, African-Americans like Rep. Allen West and Herman Cain, who present an image of Obama's opposition that liberals cannot abide. They must try therefore to tar them all with the brush of racism lest the debate focus on their rejection of liberal shibboleths. Talk of racism also mobilizes the Democratic base that is always ready to believe the worst of Republicans even if the charge is utterly without a basis in fact.
But the problem for Obama's would-be defenders is the racism canard won't work this time. Having been elected to the presidency on the idea that he was a man who rose above such concerns, it is impossible for him to seek re-election by employing Al Sharpton's tactics. While prejudice is far from dead in America, the only people seeking to whip up racial resentment these days are liberals who hope to cow those who resent Obama and wish to hold him accountable for his failures. If he is to win in 2012, it will be because of the incompetence of his opponents or by a miraculous economic recovery. But the more time liberals spend time talking about Republican racism the less likely it will be that independents and wavering Democrats who are tired of Obama's excuses will listen to them.

(Music playing.) Welcome to the AutoCAD 2010 Essential Training title. My name is Jeff Bartels and it's truly an honor for me to be able to work with you and take you step-by- step through AutoCAD 2010. AutoCAD is the industry-standard tool for 2D drafting and design. It's so popular in fact that you'd be hard-pressed to find a form of construction or production work today that doesn't involve AutoCAD in some way. I've based this title on techniques that have proven successful in the classroom and in the real world of production drafting.
We'll start our training by taking a thorough look at AutoCAD's interface. Next, we'll begin creating simple shapes. As we become familiar with the basics, we'll add to our tools, learning more productive ways to create and modify our geometry. Soon our drawings will become larger and we'll learn how to organize them using layers, line types, and colors. Next, we will get into annotation and add text, dimensions, and leaders to our drawings. Finally, we'll learn how to create professional looking plots of our designs using a standardized title block.
So if you're interested in architecture, surveying, civil or mechanical engineering, or design, this title is perfect for you. Well, we've got a lot to talk about and I've got a lot of things I can't wait to show you. So let's get started.

Back in the hunt: Northern dominant in 63-42 win over Southern
Northern Vance played like a different team Friday night against crosstown rival Southern Vance than the one that lost by a point at Raider Gymnasium Jan. 11. The Vikings dominated the second round against Southern from start to finish, never trailing in a 63-42 win.
Northern notched its first 3-A Carolina Conference win of the season, putting the Vikings back in the hunt for the state playoffs.
"I think we're back in it for real," said Northern coach Wilton Baskett.
The Vikings and Raiders are now both 1-4 in league play.
"We've been playing better, but just couldn't seem to get over that proverbial hump so to speak," said Baskett. "We had an opportunity to beat Southern the first time we played them, had every opportunity to beat Cardinal Gibbons, had an opportunity to beat Orange. It was nice to get over that hump and finally seal the deal."
Northern came out hot, led by nine first quarter points from Le'Darius Brandon, who finished with 14 points. Jaleel Seward had 10 first half points for the Vikes and finished with 16.
"Between Le'Darius hitting the long ones and Jaleel hitting the layups, it gave us a little breathing room," said Baskett.
Ty-Traveon Roberts had a game-high 19 points for Southern, including five 3-pointers.
Northern led 27-23 at halftime.
A Montel Clark bucket inside followed by a banked-in Kris Haywood 3-pointer put the Vikings up 42-28 with 2:04 to play in the third. Clark finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks.
Baskett said he was pleased with some tweaking to his 1-3-1 zone defense.
Northern shot 18-of-27 at the free throw line. Southern was 7-of-17.
"We did exactly what we expected to do," said Baskett. "Tonight we played more like we are capable of playing."
Northern hosts J.F. Webb Tuesday while Southern entertains Chapel Hill.
SOUTHERN — Reggie Hunter 7, Jamal Williams 4,Shawn Henderson 2, Cameron Evans 5, Ty-Traveon Roberts 19, Dequante Hinton 1, De'Vante Henderson 4
NORTHERN — Montel Clark 10, Kris Haywood 9, Jaleel Seward 16, Le'Darius Brandon 14, James Alexander 2, Tavin Moore 8, James Vaughan 2, Dontavious Richards 2

Reboot, start tapping F8 until you get a black screen. Repair your Computer, keyboard, login and choose command prompt. type chkdsk /F /R
The reason that you are getting this error is because the Windows Boot Manager (Bootmgr) entry is not present in the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store or that the Boot\BCD file on the active partition is damaged or missing.
That is why you are now getting the "NoOSInstalled under signature 07" message after trying the Start-up Repair option as suggested by tf76.
To rectify your problem you can rebuild the BCD store using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment.
Do this by following these steps:
1. Re-start the computer, pressing the F8 key at the same time (Windows Recovery Console is part of Win 7 installation, no need to use your installation DVD).
2. Select "Repair Your Computer" from the screen that appears. Windows loads the necessary files.Click NEXT
3. Select a language and a keyboard on the screen that appears and then click Next.(Windows will now search for installed operating systems, if you only have one, Win 7, it will be selected otherwise Click the operating system that you want to repair).Click NEXT.
4. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
5. Type Bootrec /RebuildBcd and ENTER.
6. If Bootrec.exe runs successfully, you will see the installation path of the Windows directory. To add the entry to the BCD store, type Yes. A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry was added successfully.
7. If Bootrec.exe does not find any missing Windows installations, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it.Do this by typing the following commands.
Bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup - press ENTER
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old - ENTER
Bootrec /rebuildbcd - ENTER
8. Restart the computer and you should be good to go.

This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 08/650,077, filed on May 17, 1996 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,758,959.
This invention relates to an apparatus for a recessed lamp fixture.
Recessed lamp fixtures are widely used in residential, commercial and institutional settings to provide light in a selective decorative manner.
Most recessed lamp fixtures are made with a full "plaster frame" for mounting the fixture behind a ceiling or wall panel, with a lamp housing permanently affixed to the frame in a non-selectable manner. The traditional construction of recessed lamp fixtures, however, fails to satisfy the more recent need for efficiently constructed and performing fixtures.
Mandatory building codes and standards require recessed light fixtures to be more efficient and result in reduced weight, size, airflow allowances, power consumption, and cost of operation. To meet this need the entire fixture, including the plaster frame and lamp housing, must have more integrated assemblies, reduced parts, size, weight and cost. In order to reduce airflow through the fixture, seams and openings for fasteners must be sealed or eliminated. These fixtures must also be rapidly adaptable for installation, in various locations, with minimal preparation and fastener requirements.
In addition, there is a clear economic benefit to having a recessed fixture that provides interchangeability of parts, particularly with regard to lamp housings, reflectors and trim rings of various shapes and sizes. This demand is addressed by the present invention by providing a common mounting frame with interchangeable lamp housings and other components.
In one aspect of the present invention, a recessed-lighting fixture includes a cylindrical housing which is open at one end, with a lamp socket assembly retained in the cylindrical housing by a biased retaining device. One end of the retaining device is attached to the closed end of the cylindrical housing, and the other end is attached to the base of the lamp assembly. A trim ring is also attached to the lamp assembly. The retaining device draws the lamp assembly into the housing body until the trim contacts the wall panel, covering the gap between the perimeter of the housing and a mounting hole in the wall panel when the fixture is mounted.
In another aspect of the invention, the recessed-lighting fixture includes a mounting frame with a mounting plate that is adapted to receive cylindrical housings of various diameters. A selectively-positionable fastening device attaches the housing to the mounting plate at various heights.
In another aspect of the invention, the recessed-lighting fixture's mounting frame includes a hanger device integrated into the mounting frame. The two opposite ends of the hanger(s) have built in fastener points to engage the supporting structure of exterior wall or ceiling panels. The hanger ends are also designed to engage the supporting structure associated with suspended tile ceilings, including those having a "T" Grid.
In another aspect of the invention, a mounting plate for attaching the lamp housing is located at one end of the mounting frame, and a hanger means is integrated into at least one side of the mounting frame. A junction box is also integrated into the frame and encloses the junctions of electrical supply wiring to the recessed-lighting fixture.
In another aspect of the invention, the hanger has two flexible metal plates. Each plate has a first and a second end, and a channel complementary to each other formed substantially along their entire length. A retaining clip engages and retains the two flexible metal plates. The retaining clip has two arms for engaging the channels of the metal plates. The clip, retains the two plates together while allowing them to slide in a linear fashion to the full extent of the channel lengths.
In another aspect of the invention, the lamp housing has a minimum number of openings, sealed seams and reduced airflow openings. The housing body and top have overlapped ends fastened together by a metal stitching technique commonly known as "Tox-Loc" stitching, which produces an essentially air-tight seam. A single opening is made near the middle of the housing body for accepting a mounting stud for fastening the housing to the mounting frame. This opening is filled by the stud fastener when the housing is securely mounted to the frame. Another opening is made near the top of the housing body for the electrical supply line. The lamp housing constructed in this manner has two filled openings on its top to accept a spring mounting bracket, and filled openings on it's side for the mounting fastener and the supply line, thereby minimizing airflow and heat loss.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved recessed- lighting fixture. This and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following descriptions, drawings, and appended claims.
For the purpose of illustrating the invention, the drawings depict one or more embodiments of the invention. However, the scope of the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.

FIG. 11 is a partial side view of the embodiment depicted in FIG. 2 of the junction box, in exposed view, showing the installation of a flexible supple line in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 12 shows a section view of a preferred embodiment of a recessed lamp fixture having an "Eye Ball" lamp housing in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 13 shows a section view of a preferred embodiment of a lamp housing and biased retaining means having a constant force spring in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to the drawings, wherein like numerals indicate like elements, FIG. 1 shows an exploded view of the main components of a recessed lamp fixture 10 in accordance with the present invention. Those components include a cylindrical lamp housing 12 and a mounting frame 14 adapted to receive and support the lamp housing. The mounting frame includes a mounting plate 16 (or "plaster frame" in the terminology of the art), a mounting bracket 18, an electrical junction box 20, .and a pair of hanger bars 22. Where at times it may be instructive to refer to specific sides of the mounting plate, it will be in the orientation depicted in FIG. 1, such that the mounting plate 16 has a right side, a left side, a back side and a front side. The front side of the plate 16 has a concave curvature to accommodate a cylindrical lamp housing of various diameters, preferably between four to six and one-half inches.
The mounting bracket 18, as shown in FIG. 2, has a shallow "V-shaped" face 19a, disposed away from the mounting frame, which is adapted to contact and grip a cylindrical lamp housing of various diameters, preferably between four to six and one-half inches. This feature permits the use of a uniform or standard-size mounting frame with different diameter lamp housings, and thus a modular assembly which does not require a different plaster frame for each diameter lamp housing.
The bracket 18, as shown in FIG. 1, further has a vertical slot 24, preferably about two inches in length, adapted to receive a captive bolt 26. The bolt is of sufficient length to pass through a hole 28 in the housing and is threaded to receive a wing nut 30 to clamp the housing against the V-shaped face of the mounting bracket when tightened. This arrangement provides a height-adjustable fastening mechanism for mounting the housing to the frame, in which the housing can be vertically positioned within about two inch range relative to the mounting frame.
The mounting bracket 18 is preferably integral with a side wall 19b of the junction box 20. The junction box wall 19b is supported by the mounting plate 16, and the junction box frame 23.
The junction box 20 is formed in sections by the side wall 19b extension of the mounting bracket, an opposite cover plate 21, and a frame 23 with punch-out access slots. The junction box frame 23 is attached to the mounting plate by a series of interlocking keys 32 which lock into matching key holes 34 in the mounting plate 16. The box is maintained in an upright position, and the cover plate retained in place by a retaining clip 36.
A electrical power cable housing 38, as shown in FIG. 2, runs from the junction box into the lamp housing 12. The preferred power cable is a metal shielded conduit with threaded connector ends 37,39. One threaded end 37 can be screwed into an access slot of the junction box, and the other end 39 is fitted into an opening 17 at the top end of the lamp housing.
A significant feature of the housing is a reduction in the number of openings. When assembled, the housing body has only an opening at its bottom for access to the light source. Referring to FIG. 1, the captive bolt 26 substantially fills the middle housing opening 28, and the power cable 38 substantially fills the top housing opening 17. This feature provides for enhanced efficient assembly and reduced airflow through the housing.
Adjustable-length hanger bars 22 secure the recessed lamp fixture to joists or other support structure behind a wall or ceiling panel. As shown in FIG. 2, the hanger bars are retained by and slide within retaining channels 40 which are formed in the right and left sides of the mounting plate 16.
The adjustable-length hanger bars are comprised of two sections 42, 43 slideably connected to each other. Each section has a fastener end with a nailer tab 47 which can be used as a tack for securing the fixture to a wooden joist. The nailer tab 47 has a barbed end 47a which acts like a fish-hook to prevent disengagement of the nailer from the wooden joist. In addition, each section also has a flexible tab 48 to secure the fixture to a T-grid ceiling channel of the type commonly used to support ceiling tiles. The hanger bar sections are prevented from sliding apart by a retaining clip 44. The retaining clip 44 has two locking tabs 45 for engaging both sections 42, 43 of a single hanger bar 22. Referring to FIG. 5, the retaining clip 44 slides in a channel 41 formed by longitudinal edges of the hanger bar sections.
A significant feature of the hanger bars is that they can be removed from or inserted into the mounting frame by manipulating the channel hanger bar retaining tab 35. In addition, the hanger bars can be removed so they can be bent into shape to better facilitate the installation mounting requirements. This feature is particularly useful for confined installation conditions. The two hanger bars retained by the retaining clip 44 can be easily separated by manipulating the locking tab 45, and removing one of the hanger bar sections 42, 43.
Another significant feature of the hanger bars is that they can slide freely in the channel 40 of the mounting plate 16 when held together by the retaining clip 44.
Referring now to FIG. 6 for the purpose of describing significant features within the lamp housing 12, it shows that the cylindrical housing has a closed top end 50 and an open bottom end 52. A thermal safety switch 54 has a retaining tab 55 that engages a slot 53 near the top of the lamp housing 12.
Significant features within the housing include a biased retaining spring 56, a lamp assembly 58, and a reflector cone 60 with an integral trim ring 62. In this preferred embodiment, the biased retaining spring 56 has a single-coil fixed end 64 and two fork arms 68 with flared tips 69. The retaining spring 56 is retained in the housing top 50 by a bracket 66. The bracket 66 is secured to the housing top 50 by bracket ends 67 which engage openings 65 in the housing top.
The lamp assembly 58 includes a base portion 70 with a flange 72 and a lamp receiving socket 74. The reflector cone 60 and trim ring 62 are attached directly to the base 70, and retained in place by a retainer clip 61 as shown in FIG. 8. It is to be understood that the trim ring can be integral with the reflector cone as shown in FIG. 6, or separate from the reflector cone (not shown.) The retainer clips 61 engage the reflector cone 60 through slots 63 in the top of the reflector cone. The forks 68 of the biased retaining assembly 56 extend through slots 71 in the base flange 72.
As shown by the ghost lines in FIG. 6, the lamp assembly and attached reflector/trim ring can be pulled down out of the housing until the flared tips 69 of the spring forks catch against the base flange 72. The forks are compressed toward each other as they slide through the slots in the flange, and thus provide a force biased toward retracting the lamp assembly back into the housing. As the assembly is retracted from the housing, and at a predetermined point along its retractable path, the retracting force is reduced to zero or neutralized thereby enabling the lamp assembly to be at rest when it is fully extended. When the lamp assembly is inserted back into the housing, and at a predetermined point along its retractable path, the retracting force of the spring bias engages the lamp assembly and draws it into the housing until the trim makes contact with a ceiling or wall panel.
An alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 12 in which the lamp assembly is a pivoting "Eye-ball" type 100, which can be angled within the housing. In this embodiment, the lamp assembly includes a hanger bracket 180 with pivot sockets 182, into which are inserted pivot-point bearings 184 mounted on a lamp shroud 186. The reflector cone 160 is attached inside the shroud, and the trim ring 162 is attached to the hanger bracket. In this embodiment the forks of the spring pass through slots in the hanger bracket, but the operation of the spring as a retracting bias is essentially the same as in the first embodiment.
Another alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 13 in which the biased retaining spring 250 is a constant-force coil spring. The spring 250 has a fixed end retained in the housing top 254 by a bracket 256 which is attached to the housing top, and a free end 258, which is directly attached to the base 260 of the lamp assembly 200. As shown by the ghost lines in FIG. 12 the lamp assembly and attached reflector/trim ring can be pulled down out of the housing until the coil spring 250 is fully extended and thus provides a force biased toward retracting the lamp assembly back into the housing. When the lamp assembly is released, this spring bias draws the lamp assembly into the cylindrical body until the trim makes contact with a ceiling or wall panel.
The fixture is preferably manufactured in a manner which reduces the volumetric rate of air flow through the housing sufficiently to meet exacting insulating and non-insulating standards established in the building and lighting industries. To the extent necessary, the following building and lighting industry standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc.® 1571, (hereafter "UL 1571") Washington State Energy Code, and ASTM E283-84 are incorporated by reference herein. Specifically, the light fixture is designed, shaped and dimensioned to reduce all fixture openings in order to obtain a preferred maximum volumetric rate of air flow of 2 CFM at a pressure 22 PSI when installed.
To meet this requirement it is necessary to reduce the number and size of openings in the housing, or to close and cover the unavoidable holes. This begins with the initial stamping of the housing components. The body of the cylindrical housing 12 may be formed by stamping a roll of metal to form a rectangular plate with a hole (fastener hole 28) and with a slot 17 that opens onto one longitudinal side of the plate and which will become the opening for cable end 39 to pass into the housing. The rectangular plate is then formed around a cylindrical mandril to make a cylindrical body with overlapping ends. The overlapped ends are then fastened together by a metal stitching technique commonly known as "Tox-Loc" stitching, which produces an essentially air-tight seam.
The housing top is formed by stamping a metal sheet to form a circular plate with an inverted bowl-like depression in the center and two small fastener openings spanning its center-point, another fastener opening just inside the perimeter, and a raised lip around the entire perimeter. The bracket 66 for the retaining spring can then be attached to the housing top by bracket ends 67 inserted through the small openings 65, where the bracket ends 67 are folded over to seal the openings and support the assembly.
The threaded connector end 39 of the metal shielded electrical cable 38 is inserted in the slot opening of the cylindrical body. The slot width is between the outer diameter of the grooves and lands of the treading. Then the housing top is placed inside the top end of the cylindrical body until it the connector end, which closes the slot opening and secures the cable. The top end of the cylindrical body and the raised lip of the housing top are fastened together by the "Tox-Loc" or similar metal stitching. The housing 12 is then only open at the bottom end and at the mounting hole 28. The mounting hole will be covered by the wing-nut 30 when the housing is mounted to the frame, leaving an essentially sealed container except for small gaps around the cable connector. This configuration eliminates the many air leakage holes of prior housings, and will meet or exceed the standard of not more than 2 CFM flow-through at 22 PSI.
Another important feature of this invention is that the trim 62 is also sized and shaped to cover the gap between the housing and the structure further reducing the flow of air through the fixture when installed. As a result of providing a reduced air flow fixture it can be installed with the same trim in either a non-insulated or a insulated installation in accordance with UL 1571.
Another important feature of this invention is that the lighting fixture includes indicia 300 for identifying the appropriate trim, lamp size, and lamp type for installation in either an insulated or a non-insulated installation also in accordance with UL 1571. The indicia includes a first indictor (not shown) embossed on the surface of the fixture for indicating at least one first trim number, and at least one first lamp size and lamp type. The first indicator is placed onto the surface of the fixture, preferably near the opening of the housing. A second indictor is placed on a removable label 300 that is located over and covers the first indicia. The second indicator is for indicating at least one second trim number, and at least one second lamp size and lamp type.
It is preferred that the first indictor indicate a trim, and a larger lamp size and lamp type requirement associated with a non-insulated installation. The second indicator will indicate a trim, and a smaller lamp size and lamp type requirement associated with an insulated installation. For example, at the time of installation the installer, knowing which condition is applicable, is instructed to either leave undisturbed the second indicator with information for an insulated installation"IC", or remove it to expose the first indicator with information for a non-insulated installation "Non-IC".
The removable label 300 is adhesive backed and capable of being removed by peeling the label away from the fixture so that the first indicator can be exposed. The purpose of this labeling is to provide the installing contractor or user with the full utility of the invention. This invention provides a light fixture with a single trim and housing combination for a variety of lamp sizes and lamp types in compliance with UL 1571. For example, since the fixture can be installed in either an insulated or a non-insulated installation, the contractor need only ensure the correct indicator is displayed on the fixtures surface.
The features which provide ease of installation of the fixture include the hanger bars and their attachment to the mounting frame, the relatively small size and weight of the frame, the adjustable height mounting of the housing to the frame, the junction box, the retaining spring, and the reflector/trim ring. The recessed lamp fixture 10 is designed for use in new construction; however, it can be adapted for use in old work as well. The fixture is typically installed by an electrical contractor during the rough-in and trim-out phases of construction.
Using the embodiment of FIGS. 1-6 of the recessed lamp fixture 10, the lamp assembly 58, and reflector cone 60 with integral trim ring 62, are detachably connected to the fork spring 56. No disassembly of the lamp assembly 58 and trim ring 62 is required upon installation. During the rough-in phase, the installer determines the fixture location, adjusts the hanger bars, and then hammers the nailers 47 into wooden support members (or applies screws to the hanger bar ends in the case of metal support members.) Power supply lines are routed into the junction box assembly 20 before or after the fixture is mounted. The supply lines are secured to the fixture by the junction box by means of the integral retaining plate 92, or by means of a standard wire connector inserted into knock-outlpryout panel 25 adapted into the junction box frame 23.
Another feature of the present invention is the ability to thread an armored power supply line 38 into a specially formed hole 27 having two flat sides 27a formed in the junction box frame 23. Power supply connections are made from either side of the junction box assembly 20 by removing the cover 21.
At the point the interior surfaces are finished, the installer returns to install the trim 60 by lowering the base 70 along the length of the fork spring 68 until it is fully distended. The selected trim 60 is now attached by compressing the socket spring retainer clips 61 and inserting them into the properly oriented opening in the trim housing or bracket. When pushed back into the housing, the spring will retract the entire lamp assembly into the housing until the trim ring contacts the ceiling, covering the gap and holding the trim in place as shown in FIG. 3.
An important aspect of the present invention is the adjustment feature of the cylindrical housing 12 for accommodating a range of ceiling thicknesses. The cylindrical housing 12 is lowered or raised on the mounting frame 16 until the housings bottom edge is flush with the ceiling. The adjustment is made by loosening a wing nut 30 used to secure the housing to the frame.
Referring to FIG's 9-11 a standard 110 volt electrical supply line 78 can be brought into the junction box and connected to a pair of fixture supply wires 31 located within the metal shielded conduit 38. In FIG. 9 the standard shielded supply line 78 is brought into the junction box and secured by a standard press-in-place fitting 80. In FIG. 10 an alternative connecting system for a standard metal cable is shown utilizing a hole formed by a knockout/pryout panel 25 on the junctions and frame 23. The cable is retained in the hold by a standard fitting 82. In FIG. 11 a standard Romex® cable 78a is secured by a specially designed slot 90, retaining plate and clamp 92, and clamping screw 94. The retaining plate 92 closes the slot 90 as shown in FIG. 4 thereby eliminating the need to fill the slot 90 with a knock-out/pryout panel or a removable plug.
The junction box includes features that ease the effort required to connect the electrical supply 78 to the fixture wires 31. The cover plate can be easily removed by lifting the edge of the retaining clip. The Romex® cable 78a can be inserted into a cable slot 90 and then held securely by a retaining plate 92 and clamping screw 94. The wire connections are then made and the cover plate replaced under the retaining clip.
Another important feature of the present invention derived from its design features is manufacturing efficiency. Manufacturing efficiency is achieved by having a common mounting frame assembly 14 designed to accommodate differently sized and shaped lamp housings. Such lamp housings for example can be round, multi-sided, or oval. This feature provides efficiency in manufacture by reducing the production quantities of non-standard parts, resulting in reduced inventory and simplified production procedures and processes.
The fixture is assembled as an up-side-down stack of parts starting with the junction box retaining clip 36, followed by the junction box frame 23, retaining plate 92, and ground wire 96, all fastened together by rivet 98. The junction box assembly 20 is then attached to the mounting frame assembly 14 by inserting and bending the interlocking keys 32 into the mounting plate 16. An additional base plate (not depicted) maybe added between the junction box assembly and the mounting frame when necessary for code compliance or when additional structural strength is required.
The hanger bars 22 are assembled apart from the mounting plate 16 with the retaining clip 44. The hanger bars are inserted into the retaining channel 40 of the mounting frame assembly 14. The locking tabs 45 of the retaining clip 44 are bent thereby preventing the bars from disengaging from the frame assembly. The mounting bracket assembly 18 and the cylindrical lamp housing 12 are then attached to the mounting frame assembly 14 thereby completing the recessed lamp fixture 10.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof and, accordingly, reference should be made to the appended claims, rather than to the foregoing specification, as indicating the scope of the invention.

SANTA ANA — As several of his surviving victims watched, a former postal worker who killed his mother and a close friend and attempted to kill seven people during a two-day rampage was sentenced on Tuesday to nine life terms in prison.
Mark Richard Hilbun, with shaggy gray hair and a long beard, sat impassively as the sentence was imposed by Superior Court Judge Everett W. Dickey.
Hilbun, 42, was convicted of the 1993 crimes by a jury last August. But the panel later deadlocked when trying to agree on whether he was insane during the bloody crimes. At first, Hilbun claimed insanity, but dropped that contention when prosecutors said last fall that they would not seek his execution for the crimes.
Prosecutors said after a two-hour sentencing hearing Tuesday that they are satisfied with the sentence because it means that Hilbun will never be released from prison.
