Heath Ledger
Sean Gallup/Getty Images
Heath Ledger, the Australian actor, died in New York City on Jan. 22, 2008, from an accidental overdose of prescription medications.
Mr. Ledger rose to fame for his role as a gay cowboy in "Brokeback Mountain,'' released in 2005, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award as best actor. On Feb. 22, 2009, he won an Oscar for best supporting actor for his performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight," which was released after his death. Mr. Ledger's parents afterward said his Oscar statuette would be held in trust by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Mr. Ledger was born on April 4, 1979 in Perth, Australia, where a local theater company cast him in "Peter Pan" when he was 10. That role led to parts on children's television programs, and to the 1992 film "Clowning Around" and the television series "Ship to Shore." After appearing in a short-lived Australian television series, he moved to Los Angeles in 1999. His first Hollywood film was the teenage romantic comedy "10 Things I Hate About You," a send-up of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" in which he appeared opposite Julia Stiles.
Mr. Ledger met Michelle Williams while filming Brokeback Mountain. They began a romance and moved to Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, where their comings and goings were widely noted in the New York tabloids and on celebrity-oriented Web sites. Ms. Williams gave birth to their daughter, Matilda Rose, on Oct. 28, 2005. The couple split in the summer of 2007.
Mr. Ledger was found dead on the floor near the bed in an apartment in SoHo that he had been renting. Police officials said that a bottle of prescription sleeping pills was found on a nearby night table. A month later, on Feb. 6, 2008, the New York medical examiner ruled his death an accident, describing it as "acute intoxication" caused by the combined effects of six kinds of painkillers.

The Things They Carriedby Tim O'Brien
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
One of the first questions people ask about The Things They Carried is this: is it a novel, or a collection of short stories? The title page refers to the book simply as "a work of fiction," defying the conscientious reader's need to categorize this masterpiece. It is both: a collection of interrelated short pieces which ultimately reads with the dramatic force and tension of a novel. Yet each one of the 22 short pieces is written with such care, emotional content, and prosaic precision that it could stand on its own.
The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and, of course, the character Tim O'Brien who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of 43. They battle the enemy (or maybe more the idea of the enemy), and occasionally each other. In their relationships we see their isolation and loneliness, their rage and fear. They miss their families, their girlfriends and buddies; they miss the lives they left back home. Yet they find sympathy and kindness for strangers (the old man who leads them unscathed through the mine field, the girl who grieves while she dances), and love for each other, because in Vietnam they are the only family they have. We hear the voices of the men and build images upon their dialogue. The way they tell stories about others, we hear them telling stories about themselves.
With the creative verve of the greatest fiction and the intimacy of a searing autobiography, The Things They Carried is a testament to the men who risked their lives in America's most controversial war. It is also a mirror held up to the frailty of humanity. Ultimately The Things They Carried and its myriad protagonists call to order the courage, determination, and luck we all need to survive.
"I've got to make you read this book....In a world filled too often with numbness, or shifting values, these stories shine in a strange and opposite direction, moving against the flow, illuminating life's wonder." Rick Bass, The Dallas Morning News
"The Things They Carried is more than 'another' book about Vietnam....It is a master stroke of form and imagery....The Things They Carried is about life, about men who [fight] and die, about buddies, and about a lost innocence that might be recaptured through the memory of stories. O'Brien tells us these stories because he must. He tells them as they have never been told before." Richmond Times-Dispatch

Wine was a passion for Gene Mulvihill, former owner of Crystal Springs Resort. Wishing to share his love of fine vintage, Mr. Mulvihill has helped assemble one of the world's premier wine collections. Thousands of labels from around the world. Numerous awards and accolades from publications such as Wine Spectator and The New York Times. Our Wine Cellar is truly unparalleled. Experience the passion for wine excellence cultivated by Gene Mulvihill and the experienced and talented Crystal Springs Resort staff, led by VP of Hospitality & Lodging and Wine Director Robby Younes and assisted by Sommelier Susanne Lerescu.
The Wine Cellar located at Restaurant Latour features an opulently appointed tasting room with two expansive walls of arched viewing windows -- allowing full appreciation of the extensive wine storage vault. The integrity of the wine is preserved and protected, while its beauty and history become integral parts of the wine-tasting experience.
Restaurant Latour's immense wine list is presented in two distinctive cork-covered binders: White Wine & Champagne and Red Wine & Port. These draw from the Restaurant's private cellar, which houses more than 9,100 labels. This amazing inventory -- 50 years in the making -- includes all the best vintages (1959, 1961, 1982, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2009 and more) of all great chateaux of Bordeaux and Burgundy and many others.
Other notable inclusions are more than 100 vintages of Chateau Latour (1863 to 2009), many in large format, as well as deep, vertical selections of Cheval Blanc, Ausone, Haut Brion, Lafite, Margaux, Mouton, Petrus, and others … nearly all of which extend more than half a century. Many rare bottles such as Le Pin and Lafleur also populate the wine cellar.
Beyond Bordeaux, Rhone, and Burgundy are represented with hundreds of labels -- including verticals of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti; single-vineyards from Guigal's La Mouline, La Landonne, and La Turque; Chapoutier's Le Meal, Le Pavillon, and L'Ermite; and Jaboulet's La Chapelle. California is equally represented with verticals of Beaulieu, Georges de Latour, Private Reserve from 1960 to 2002; Opus One for more than two decades; Heitz Martha's Vineyard and Chateau Montelena for nearly three decades; and multiple vintages of Harlan, Screaming Eagle, Araujo, Bryant, Dalla Valle, and other sought-after California wines.
Italy is respected and represented with multiple vintages of Bruno Giacosa, Roberto Voerzio, Paolo Scavino, and other Barolo producers; an extensive selection of Super-Tuscans; and Gaja's outstanding wines from his Piedmont and Tuscan vineyards.
Set among this extraordinary collection, two beautifully appointed private dining rooms provide guests with a unique setting for an unparalleled experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or hosting a business dinner, the Wine Cellar will provide just the right ambiance for an unforgettable event.

The Best of Both Worlds
The day your baby takes its first "breath of life" will be a day you will cherish for the rest of your life!
Since 2007, over 900 Tampa Bay families have chosen BREATH OF LIFE WOMEN'S HEALTH & BIRTH CENTER for care that is safe, personal and natural. Ours is the only birth center in the Tampa Bay area staffed by Certified Nurse-Midwives … the only nationally accredited birth center in the state of Florida. Breath of Life specializes in maternity services and natural birth as well as women's primary and gynecological health care.
Breath of Life, located in central Pinellas County, features three private waterbirth suites with garden access. We encourage fathers to be totally involved, including "catching" their baby. Most moms labor in water, and many experience water birth. As an option for pain management, nitrous oxide analgesia ("laughing gas") is offered.
The birth center is staffed exclusively by women, including two Certified Nurse-Midwives/Nurse Practitioners (registered nurses with a Midwifery Master's degree and AMCB national certification) who follow the Midwives Model of Care (1) and through trusting relationships partner with women for complete prenatal, birth and postpartum care, annual well woman exams and a full range of primary health care services from adolescence and beyond menopause.
Cindy McCullough, RN, CLC
Nurse, Lactation Counselor, Birth Assistant
Our Registered Nurse is also a Certified Lactation Counselor providing breastfeeding support and counseling. (http://www.talpp.org/certification.html)
The center is equipped with three exam rooms and three waterbirth suites ("Garden Suite," "Beach Suite," and "Pond Suite") which resemble upscale hotel rooms with oversized bathrooms.
Each suite has a large waterbirth tub for labor and birth, a flat-screen TV, a stereo system with iPod docking station and a semi-private patio. Clients are welcome to personalize their suite with comforting items from home.
Breath of Life's peaceful birth suite settings capture the loving essence of an intimate experience. The whole family may be present, or moms and dads may choose to share the experience for themselves. We honor the emotional intimacy of birth in ways not seen in more traditional settings.
Our "Family Lounge," equipped with a small kitchen, couch, comfy chairs and a TV, DVD player and Wii, is available for friends and family members.
Your pregnancy journey and birth experience should be supported with love, kindness and a sense of empowerment. Every staff member at Breath of Life deeply understands this. The strength you receive throughout these days will guide you into motherhood.

I went... Shot a 372 bull. Unfortunately I would not recommend my outfitter. There were 5 guys in camp. 2 of them got their animals taken away and were fined thousands. I was so scared that it was going to happen to me but I guess i got lucky. i understand it is the hunters responsibility to know where they are but we simply relied on the outfitter, in my opinion it's what we paid for. We flew in on a twin otter to the middle of no where, but evidently it was right on the edge of another unit that had closed weeks before.
Anyways... Be careful and if there is the slightest thing a bit odd then simply don't book with them. And do all of your research, don't rely on just them. I guess anyways but it's what you have to do.

The Kremlin is rocked by an explosion, and the Impossible Mission Force (IMF) is supposedly to blame. Team leader Ethan Hunt and his crew turn rogue and must trot the globe to clear the IMF name in Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol, the fourth installment in the M:I franchise. Tom Cruise reprises his role as Hunt, with a supporting cast featuring Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton and Tom Wilkinson. J.J. Abrams again produces through Bad Robot for distribution through Paramount Pictures.
Handling the visual aesthetics is Academy Award-winning cinematographer Robert Elswit, ASC—whose credits read as a very long list of very fine work (including Oscar-winning There Will Be Blood; Oscar-nominated Good Night, and Good Luck; The Town; Syriana; Magnolia). Handling the directing duties is Brad Bird, whose prior, highly successful directorial efforts involved characters of the animated kind (Ratatouille, The Incredibles, The Iron Giant). M:I-Ghost Protocol marks Bird's live-action debut.
Stylistically, Bird veered away from the previous films' elaborate setups that pulled off with deliberate, clockwork precision. Instead, plans fall apart from the get-go, and the team has to survive on wits and improvisation, so Bird wanted a matching approach to the visuals. "There was a little more of a chaotic style to this one," says Elswit, who is in New York preparing to shoot The Bourne Legacy with director Tony Gilroy. "Brad was less interested in a formal approach to the design of the movie."
That said, Bird did build some "wow" moments into the film—four of them, to be exact—that were shot in large-format 65mm IMAX. The inclusion of these stemmed from the success Christopher Nolan and Wally Pfister, ASC had with the format on The Dark Night. "They proved that you do absolutely anything with an IMAX camera," Elswit says.
The IMAX material was shot with the 15-perf IMAX camera, as well as the smaller, lighter 8-perf Iwerks camera for shots involving more camera movement or Steadicam. Hasselblad lenses were used. Elswit gravitated toward wider focal lengths—40mm, 50mm, 60mm and 80mm for IMAX—in order to fill the large-format frame with visual information. "If there is one weak element in IMAX, it's these 30-year-old lenses," Elswit notes. "They're OK, just not great."
The rest of the film was shot in 2.40 anamorphic with Panavision cameras and mix of G-series (main), C-series and E-series (longer focal lengths) anamorphic lenses and Panavision zooms. Elswit composed for both large format and anamorphic simultaneously. "In the 8-perf and the 15-perf, there is a lot of leeway there to extract a 2.40," he says. "The nice thing about the IMAX frame is that during a shot, you can actually recompose it—slide it vertically up or down—to get all the elements into a 2.40 frame."
Most theaters will get anamorphic release prints, but there will be special IMAX presentations. Naturally, seeing the movie in IMAX is where one can truly appreciate the large-format set pieces. Elswit especially highlights one IMAX sequence in which Tom Cruise's character scales the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, currently the tallest building in the world. The crew took the windows out of the 156th floor to stick the crane-mounted camera outside the building and shoot downward. "Tom is actually climbing this building, and you've really never been that high except in an airplane," Elswit remarks. "Seeing it on an IMAX screen, I do believe you'd actually experience vertigo!"
Elswit choose Kodak Vision3 200T 5213 Color Negative Film and Vision3 500T 5219 as his stocks of choice. "We were traveling so much, and it was an IMAX release so pretty much the mandate was to shoot on film," he says. "Plus, Brad is an old-school guy, and we're building on the previous movies—all shot on film."
The interior portion of the Dubai daredevil sequence, before Cruise steps outside and climbs up, was shot later in the production schedule in Vancouver on stage with bluescreen wrapping around the extensive windows. "I had to mix stocks for that and be very careful because as soon as we go outside, we're looking at IMAX stock," the cinematographer says. "The trick in cutting back and forth is to not see a huge change in grain structure. I think the different aesthetic in the interiors covered that up a little bit."
Complicating matters was getting an exposure for 5213 for IMAX inside these day interior sequences while at the same time matching to the exteriors, as well as getting the quality of light for the bluescreen work to feel like indirect ambient skylight coming through very large but somewhat tinted windows. "I mixed 5219 and 5213—I wasn't always successful at it, and I'll probably have to play with it in the DI," Elswit notes. "It was the hardest technical thing I had to do on the movie. To match, I had to go with HMIs, a wall of 6Ks on stage positioned far away from the set with one-quarter CTB to be the correct color temperature and then had them diffused enough to feel ambient."
Elswit hedged a bit for the subsequent IMAX sequence set in Dubai in a raging sandstorm, or haboob. Tests revealed that no increase in visual quality could be gained shooting 15-perf IMAX because of the degrading grainy aesthetic windblown dust had. After Elswit bookended the sequence with IMAX shots, the cinematographer had second-unit director of photography Mitchell Admundsen, who did the bulk of the haboob work, shoot 4-perf spherical Super 35 and composing for the IMAX 1.40 aspect ratio. The resulting footage was then blown up.
Elswit considered this sequence the most interesting to approach after viewing some footage shot during one that had been posted on the Internet. "It changes the color of the light," he remarks. "It starts as a pale yellow, and as the sand gets thicker and the storm whips higher it turns to a vivid red. Then it gets darker and darker. It's extraordinary, and we wanted to re-create that."
Large 40' and 60' plastic Griffolyn sheets colored yellow, orange and red were hung in a row over the streets on location in Dubai to filter the sunlight and mimic the gradation of color seen in perspective as if Tom Cruise's character was truly traveling through a sandstorm. "Amazing work by the grip crew there," he says. "We wanted to do as much of that look in camera because just coloring it in a DI room wouldn't be natural. Filtering the light was much more organic. It was a bigger production issue, but I'm really glad we did it that way."
Wherever the production happened to be filming, Elswit utilized the regional lab for processing. "It's really hard to ship film now," he notes. "I lost some film once on a commercial—it wasn't directly x-rayed itself, but it was kept someplace long enough that the x-ray machines that were working nearby fogged it. It's better to process the negative where you are, and Kodak maintains the standards."
The 35mm footage was developed by Kodak's Cinelabs in Dubai and in Mumbai, India, as well as by Barrandov Studio's film laboratory in Prague and by The Lab in Vancouver. FotoKem processed all the 65mm negative.
"The nice thing about having a negative that big is you can get away with pushing," says Elswit, "which we did with the high-speed stock for a lot of the night interior and exterior work. I pushed a half stop for almost all the end sequence of the movie on which I used 5219, which is just a fantastic stock.
"Because of how complicated this movie was with material all over the place," he continues, "the production let me print almost the whole movie, which is unheard of these days, while we were in Vancouver because I was matching shots from all over. I would go to dailies in the morning and look at everything. I had a wonderful dailies timer in Ed Dobbs. He was fantastic, and it was so much fun to go there in the morning. Probably the best processing I've ever had occurred in Vancouver on this movie."
The digital intermediate is being timed by Stefan Sonnenfeld at Company 3 in Santa Monica, California, and even though Elswit has moved on to The Bourne Legacy, he's still be able to supervise the digital intermediate in Company 3's New York facility—remotely with real-time video hookups. "It's fascinating," he says. "I really like that."

18 U.S. Code § 4125 - Public works; prison camps
(a) The Attorney General may make available to the heads of the several departments the services of United States prisoners under terms, conditions, and rates mutually agreed upon, for constructing or repairing roads, clearing, maintaining and reforesting public lands, building levees, and constructing or repairing any other public ways or works financed wholly or in major part by funds appropriated by Congress.
(b) The Attorney General may establish, equip, and maintain camps upon sites selected by him elsewhere than upon Indian reservations, and designate such camps as places for confinement of persons convicted of an offense against the laws of the United States.
(c) The expenses of transferring and maintaining prisoners at such camps and of operating such camps shall be paid from the appropriation "Support of United States prisoners", which may, in the discretion of the Attorney General, be reimbursed for such expenses.
(d) As part of the expense of operating such camps the Attorney General is authorized to provide for the payment to the inmates or their dependents such pecuniary earnings as he may deem proper, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 852.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §§ 744b, 851, 853, 854, 855 (Feb. 26, 1929, ch. 336, §§ 1, 3, 4, 5,45 Stat. 1318; May 27, 1930, ch. 340, § 2,46 Stat. 391).
Section consolidates section 744b of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., with those portions of sections 851, 853–855 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which may not have been superseded by section 744b of said title.
Section 851 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was superseded except for the proviso which formed the basis for the added words "elsewhere than upon Indian reservations".
Section 855 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was superseded by section 744b of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., except as to the specific mention in section 855 of said title of expense for maintenance and operation of camps. Hence a reference to operation was added in subsection (c) of this section.
Section 854 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was added as a part of subsection (c).
Section 853 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was added as subsection (d) of this section, although its retention may be unnecessary.
The phrase "the cost of which is borne exclusively by the United States" which followed the words "constructing or repairing roads" was omitted as inconsistent with the later phrase "constructing or repairing any other public ways or works financed wholly or in major part by funds appropriated from the Treasury of the United States."
The provision for transfer of prisoners was omitted as duplicitous of a similar provision in section 4082 of this title.
Other changes of phraseology were made.

My keyboard isn't detected when i login to KDE as root, my keyboard stops working, CAPS lock, Num Lock, all don't work
I was working in KDE.I don't know what went wrong that the root isn't able to write anything.I login through root for GNOME session or through any other user in KDE or GNOME, things are working fine there.What can be the problem?
My keyboard isn't detected when i login to KDE as root, my keyboard stops working, CAPS lock, Num Lock, all don't work
Did you login as root or did you elevate your status using su or sudo?
63,000 bugs in the code, 63,000 bugs,
ya get 1 whacked with a service pack,
now there's 63,005 bugs in the code!!
I would try this. Log-in as user. Open a terminal. 'su' to root user then rename /root/.kde as .kde-bad. When you then log in to Kde as root, a new .kde folder will be created.
Another option is to open the Kde control centre as root while logged in as user ( kdesu "kcontrol" ) and see whether you can correct the settings. If your distro has some other control centre, you may be able to use it to correct the settings. There are also some commands you can use in the command line if you have time to work them out. ( I don't. ) Replacing the .kde folder is the simplest method.
I got this solution from one forum and it worked for me:
I stumbled across this post googling for the same problem you are facing. The way I resolved it left me laughing at myself so perhaps you have the same issue. My keyboard was in fact working, but I had managed to turn on 'Slow Keys' without realizing it. Try edit ~/.kde/share/config/kaccessrc and set SlowKeys=false

Open World Forum
October 3-5, 2013
Community Summit:
For the sixth year running we, at OW2, are organizing the Community Summit at the Open World Forum (October 3-5, Paris). The Open World Forum Community Summit is an annual open workshop focusing on the growth and management of open source communities.
This year, leaders and practitioners from free and open source software communities will discuss the opportunities and challenges of open source as a collaborative innovation platform. With no cumbersome IP negotiations, no costly contracts, and rules of engagement simply defined by the license attached to the code, open source software is a fantastic mechanism for sharing innovation efforts. Open source creates value and drives innovation in emerging markets such as cloud computing, big data, embedded systems, Internet of things, machine to machine, etc. But in these areas, the industry is increasingly characterized by the raise of complex, highly capital-intensive systems and multi-year innovation programs. Is the game changing for open source communities?
Detailed description of the session here
Open Source as a Collaborative Innovation Platform, Opportunities and Challenges
OW2 Conference Track proposal: "Open Source on Clouds"We are proposing 6 presentations based on OW2 projects and their cloud deployments.
- An OpenStack Federation with CompatibleOne
- OW2 ProActive on OpenStack (title TBC)
- The OW2 Sirocco multi-cloud management framework
- Leveraging OpenStack for high performance clouds
- It's not cloud, it's clouds
- A global network of OpenStack Testbeds

Hey Jamie,
In Australia, they just introduced an anti-spamming act. Apparently, if you put "no spam" next to your email address, then they are not allowed to spam it (by Australian law). Also, companies that are advertised in the spam will also be prosecuted, and large fines/jail terms apply! So I think people are tolerating spam less, nowadays.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) — Air Force active duty, Reserve, Guard, appropriated fund and non-appropriated fund civilians have an opportunity to voice their concerns to leadership during the 2012 Air Force Climate Survey, which kicks off May 14 and runs through June 22.
The chief of staff of the Air Force-directed survey enables Air Force personnel to provide feedback to senior leadership and commanders at all levels.
"This is a perfect opportunity for all total force Airmen to provide candid feedback on a wide range of topics,†said Col. Kent White, the Air Force Manpower Agency commander. "The results will help leaders determine the health of their organization and make changes if necessary.â€
Topics in this year's survey include impact of deployment, trust in Air Force leadership, satisfaction, resources, recognition and performance.
Individual e-mail invitations for the survey will go out the third week of May. As in past surveys, unit leaders will receive their units' results, if 10 or more members respond, to improve their organization and their organization's ability to accomplish the mission.
More than 172,000 people responded in the 2010 Air Force Climate Survey. Results showed that more than 80 percent of the survey respondents were happy with their jobs and 95 percent agreed their unit is successfully accomplishing its mission. Additionally, 82 percent of all survey respondents indicated they were generally satisfied with the Air Force.
"Through the Air Force Climate Survey, all Air Force members have the chance to highlight concerns that directly affect them and their units' mission,†said Grover Lindsey, the chief of the performance management division at the Air Force Manpower Agency. "This feedback serves to improve each organization and our entire Air Force. Look for your personal invitation to the survey in your inbox and Speak Today, Shape Tomorrow!â€

Hendricken Field, the official name of the onetime campus venue for Providence College baseball, no longer has a spacious, perfectly trimmed lawn. In its stead is an outdoor track and field complex that stands on the threshold of completion.
No longer can the ghosts of PC baseball seek refuge within their former diamond embassy, one that until recently remained a fitting ode to what took place every springtime. Even after Hendricken Field lost its primary tenants in 1999, the space remained a slice of unchanged life, humming along as if nothing earth shattering or life altering had ever taken place.
Providence's decision to provide the track and field program with a well deserved home is something that resonates with the last Friar baseball alumnus that's still gainfully employed in the major leagues. That's because John McDonald's wife, the former Maura Cignetti, ran track at PC, the 800-meter distance serving as her chief discipline.
The plot of land located off River Ave. where John carved out a stellar college baseball career will now house the track program that Maura was once affiliated with. When looking at the completely transformed terrain through the couple's own lens, a feeling of close, personal attachment must wash over them, a comfort that comes from knowing that one of them still has firm ties to the surroundings once known as the domicile for Providence baseball.
These days, John McDonald's main focus is to lend a helping hand to the Boston Red Sox' October pursuit. A 38-year-old veteran middle infielder who since reporting to spring training with the Arizona Diamondbacks has played for five different teams and six different managers, McDonald has done his best not to read too much into the vagabond existence that defined his 2013 campaign, his 15th in the bigs.
Looking back at a different time in his life, McDonald admits that he still thinks about what might have been regarding Providence baseball.
"You wish that your program was still there so you can go back and workout with the current guys playing there. That's one thing that I miss – not having a program there so I can go and help," expressed McDonald while standing in front of his Fenway Park locker not too long ago. "I workout at [UConn-Avery Point, the junior college where this East Lyme, Conn. native starred at prior to coming to PC in 1995] when I have the chance, but Providence would have been much closer. It would have been nice to give back to those guys."
You won't hear McDonald utter a negative word about the Friars and the controversial decision school officials made in nixing baseball. He completed his undergraduate requirements in 2010, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. Living in the Boston suburbs with Maura and their two children, McDonald gladly shared that he renewed his season tickets for Friar men's basketball games at the Dunkin' Donuts Center after purchasing them for the first time last year.
"I love being one of the last guys to play," said McDonald about the badge of honor he proudly carries in reference to Providence baseball, "but there are a lot players who have gone on to do a lot of great things and still carry the torch for the baseball team."
In re-committing himself to the college where he placed himself in a position to get drafted in the 12th round of the 1996 Major League Baseball Draft by the Cleveland Indians, has McDonald ever gone up to Providence's current leaders and asked about the chances of one day resurrecting baseball?
"Unfortunately, baseball is a non-revenue producing sport that requires a lot of financial assistance. It was great while it was there and a lot of people would love to have it back, but it's not something for me to really comment on," stated McDonald with fondness etched in his tone. "Providence College gave me a lot more than I ever thought it would. I'm really proud to have gone there and been a student-athlete before going on to get drafted. Ultimately, I'm really proud that I was able to get my degree.
"I took classes online with people helping me figure out which courses to take. I couldn't be on campus because I was traveling a lot," McDonald continued. "I really appreciate the opportunities that I was able to get just by being a Friar."
Another opportunity that McDonald is grateful for is hooking on with a team with serious World Series aspirations. Acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies the night prior to the Sept. 1 roster expansion date for MLB clubs, the former Friar views his brief Red Sox tenure as a homecoming of sorts, one that comes after a L-O-N-G year of wandering in pro baseball's proverbial second division.
"This is everything that I expected it to be. This team has been playing great baseball over the past couple of weeks, so it's made it that more enjoyable," said McDonald, who has been traded four times this season with Boston becoming the fourth major-league team he's spent time with. "You have to realize that no matter how good or bad the year has gone or how much you move around, I look at the situation and can say that I've been in the big leagues all year.
"You have pinnacles of your sport as far as the levels you can reach. We all tend to look at the negatives, but there's also a sense of accomplishment," McDonald continued. "Moving around, it's obviously been tough on my family, but now I get to live at home and come to the ballpark. It's something that everyone has been able to enjoy and a culmination to what's been a long year."
The Red Sox acquired McDonald in an effort to shore up its middle infield depth for the final month of the regular season. More specifically, Boston wanted someone who could backup second baseman Dustin Pedroia.
"How much confidence he has, it's something that rubs off on everybody," McDonald said about the impression he's been able to form regarding Boston's spark plug. "He expects to be the best player on the field every time he walks on it and I think a lot more people should adopt that same attitude."
McDonald sees himself as a "piece to the puzzle" and an "insurance policy." He understood that he wasn't a prime candidate to see much action with the Red Sox – Sunday's regular season finale in Baltimore marked his sixth appearance with Boston and 51st game this year.
"You need guys who are ready to play regardless if they haven't played in a couple of weeks," said McDonald, who has appeared in more than 100 big-league games in a season just twice in his long career. "I love the aspect of staying sharp; you never know when your name is going to be called, so you've got to always be ready. As soon as you let your guard down and act like you're never going to play, you're not going to be very good. If you're not in the lineup today, act like you are going to be in there tomorrow, or going into the game in the sixth inning."
When you've been on the major-league carousal as long as McDonald has, you're allowed to take part in some deep-seeded introspection.
"Every year has its moments that make it special; different teammates and different opportunities to play," he expressed. "So many things have happened and in some ways, it feels like a long time, but it's gone by fast."

CANTON They are sweaty, tedious, monotonous and often in uncomfortable and unsanitary places.
That is how Thomas L. Martin, a retired state police senior investigator, described real crime scenes during SUNY Cantons fourth annual Law Enforcement Day.
Mr. Martin, the keynote speaker, said that Hollywood sensationalizes criminal investigations in order to keep TV shows exciting.
People wouldnt watch television shows about real crime scene investigations, Mr. Martin said. ... Its not something that people would sit and watch, so Hollywood has to dress it up and make it viewer friendly.
The way it does that, Mr. Martin said, is to take something that has an ounce of truth to it and plant it, water it and fertilize it, and they let it grow into something sensational.
Most of what they put on TV might be based on the truth of actual events, Mr. Martin said, but they are going to change the script to make it exciting.
Mr. Martin used slides of crime scenes as well as scenes from his classes, which he said were hands-on.
We actually use animal blood, and we splatter blood, and we drip it, and we let it dry, and everything you would see at a crime scene, we do firsthand, Mr. Martin said.
Traveling throughout the country, Mr. Martin teaches 20-hour blood-stain classes and 20- to 40-hour homicide crime-scene classes, and students at SUNY Canton were privy to the condensed version of that seminar Tuesday afternoon.
He said he wanted to give students who are aspiring to go into criminal investigation a true sense of the day-to-day life and work in the field.
Mr. Martin reminded students that criminal investigation is about victims.
Crime scene investigators essentially, during the course of a case, become the voice of the victim, a victim who cant talk to you whether they are injured or murdered, Mr. Martin said.
When a victim cant tell a story, investigators let the scene tell the story.
SUNY Canton senior Karen M. Campo, 21, is a criminal investigation student. She said the annual event helps her get familiar with the field that she plans to work in.
Its a real-life view of people in the community or around the community who can give us insight about what we are learning in our books, Ms. Campo said. Im graduating in May, so this is what I am looking forward to.
Both Ms. Campo and 22-year-old junior George R. Lawrence, also a criminal investigation student, said they can study from their books all day, but Mr. Martin was giving them the opportunity to experience real-life events.
It affects me because I want to be in this field, Mr. Lawrence said, and it gives me great experience to understand what they went through in their careers, the cases they worked on and the things that intrigue me.

Thanks guys. Yep, looks like from what Pika pointed out it's normal behavior.
Question for C3: do you normally run your computer with UAC on? I have Win 7 64bit Pro with UAC turned on. I'm wondering if this has something to do with some of my troubles.
Also, I tracked down what seems to be another source of lag on my system. I had tweaked some of my Fire Fox network settings via the about:config menu a while back and had some none-default settings. I started wondering if FireFox was not keeping extra connections running in the background as I played. The latency issue did seem to get better after resetting all network. settings to default under about:config.
Final significant source of lag seems to be coming from setpoint drivers. Just bought a Razer Abyssus. Will be making some comparisons once it gets here.

A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire #2)by George R. R. Martin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Here is the second volume in George R. R. Martin's magnificent cycle of novels that includes A Game of Thrones and A Storm of Swords. As a whole, this series comprises a genuine masterpiece of modern fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to offer. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and adventure fill these pages and transport us to a world unlike any we have ever experienced. Already hailed as a classic, George R. R. Martin's stunning series is destined to stand as one of the great achievements of imaginative fiction.
A comet the color of blood and flame cuts across the sky. Two great leaders — Lord Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon — who hold sway over an age of enforced peace are dead, victims of royal treachery. Now, from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of Winterfell, chaos reigns. Six factions struggle for control of a divided land and the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, preparing to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war. It is a tale in which brother plots against brother and the dead rise to walk in the night. Here a princess masquerades as an orphan boy; a knight of the mind prepares a poison for a treacherous sorceress; and wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to ravage the countryside. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel...and the coldest hearts. For when kings clash, the whole land trembles.
"Martin amply fulfills the first volume's promise and continues what seems destined to be one of the best fantasy series ever written." Denver Post
"The rewards are considerable: a backdrop of convincing depth and texture; intricate, flawless plotting; fully realized characters; and restrained, inventive magical/occult elements." Kirkus Reviews
"[Martin] provides a banquet for fantasy lovers with large appetites — and this is only the second course of a repast with no end in sight." Publishers Weekly
"A classic work of fantasy." Cleveland Plain-Dealer
"Aided by an appendix of kings and their courts, Clash can be enjoyed on its own, though many then may retreat to Game, reread Clash, and impatiently await more of Westeros." Roberta Johnson, Booklist
"Martin has created a rich world filled with characters whose desires for love and power drive them to extremes of nobility and betrayal. Fans of epic fantasy should appreciate this lavishly detailed sequel to A Game of Thrones." Library Journal
"This work of superior world building inhabited by fully-developed characters is for a mature audience because of the violence, strong language, and sexual encounters. Great cover and a great read!" VOYA
A Clash of Kings is the follow-up to A Game of Thrones, George R. R. Martin's fabulous introduction to multilayered epic fantasy adventure that marked one of the most auspicious kickoffs in years. For those of you who enjoy your fantasy big, thick, and complex, Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series is for you.
About the Author
George R. R. Martin is the award-winning author of six novels, including Fevre Dream and The Armageddon Rag. For the last ten years, he has been a screenwriter for feature films and television and was a writer-producer of the TV series Beauty and the Beast as well as a story editor for The Twilight Zone.

Comments about DW Performance Series Floor Tom:
After trying out coated & clear heads, 1-ply / 2-ply, I found that AQUARIAN heads are best for Maple shells.. Aquarian clasic clear RESEDANT head, Aquarian force II beater head. Cant go wrong. Pricie heads yes but, its Maple wood, Aquarian brings out the punch and low end & you still have tone.. Remember Maple kits are LOUD, these heads bring em down a couple of knotches.Outstanding drums though, not much different than DW collectors series.excepy for the price.!
Comments about DW Performance Series Floor Tom:
I have the 16" that came with my kit. 45 year veteran tried a new set yearly for the past 8. These drums sound like no other, are reasonably-priced (not cheap) and are "real DWs" (and I've had PDP Platinums). This thing, with a coated Ambassador, will sustain for about 10 seconds even to my ringy, worn-out ears. Had to experiment with lots of heads to deaden it some. Coated Ambassador is good if you want sustain but clear Pinstripe sounds great overall. I'm wondering if P3 or Pinstripe coated would be even better. Evans Onyx and coated Ambassador X sound lousy on it (to me).

I received a different valve than as shown... the ones I received were not compatible with my Playtex Sippy Cups. Hope they can send the correct ones as shown and take back the others?

My 16 month old loves drinking from these straw cups. Switched over from soft spouts to these when he was a year. And after trying several others, this the only one he would drink from. There is no valve, so it is easy for him to drink from. Only problem is that it spills if the straw is left opened. Or if he turns it upside down
