She basically wants me to weed wack the hills when she calls me. He charges them monthly on this account also. I told her that the place would look beatiuful if I cut it. She agrees but says that she has had her lco for 6 years and would not want to lose him. "Are you kidding me I said in my mind". He is a rip off. Who cuts every 2 weeks in the summer months and 1 once a month in the winter months on healthy ,fertilized and irrigated ST. Augustine. What would you do in this matter? Who you weed wack it? I don't know how this guys stays in business. He has a few commercial accounts that I drive by and he does this to all off them. Cuts when he feels like it. He will show up Sunday morning to cut or all different days in the week. This family is well off and they have a sucessful business and many rental properties.

I am starving and this looks amazing! I really want some right now! I will be trying this recipe soon! Thanks for sharing with us at the Hearth and Soul hop!
I'm not much of a fan of saffron either. I almost feel guilty saying that out loud because foodies are supposed to go ga-ga for it. Oh well, so I'll just make up your recipe with turmeric, which I do love! Thanks for sharing with the Hearth and Soul hop.ReplyDelete
Your chicken looks devine. I am not a fan of saffron because of the price! I love your substitute. Thanks for hosting. JoniReplyDelete
Hi Christi, I was away this week, so sorry I didn't link up to your supper club, but it will be on the menu for this coming week for sure. chicken Kebabs are so simple and so delicious! I love tumeric too and it adds such a distinct flavor and I love the color! Thanks so much for sharing on the hearth and soul hop this week. Alex@amoderatelifeReplyDelete
I love turmeric, I use it all the time in Moroccan dishes. Hummus is also a big hit in my house. Everything looks great!ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, I totally missed this last week...I'm sorry!! It sounds fabulous...and I agree about switching to turmeric...much more cost effective! Thanks for sharing with the hearth and soul hop :DReplyDelete

Information Savvy!
Many websites, such as Wikipedia, can be great resources to quickly get oriented on a subject before conducting more in depth research. However, anyone in the world can create and maintain a website or write a seemingly legitimate article and may, intentionally or unintentionally, publish false or "misinformation." When reviewing information on the Internet, you should always consider the ABC's:
- Accuracy. Is the information accurate? Can you confirm the same information using other resources published by a different author or organization?
- Author. Who composed the information? Can you easily identify the author and contact the author or website publisher?
- Bias. What bias might the author or author organization have?
- Credibility. What is the author's or author organization's credentials for publishing the information? What expertise, experience, or education does the author have in this area that makes him or her qualified to write on the subject matter?
- Currency. When was the web page last updated? Is it possible the information might have changed since this web page was last published?
- Critical eye! Remember to always use your discretion and critical eye to determine whether information you find on the web (or even in books and news sources!) is trustworthy. Putting websites to the ABC test will get you started in developing a strong critical eye.

Science fiction imagines the possibilities
On July 4, 2012, scientists observed a particle believed to be the Higgs boson. Sometimes called the "God Particle," the Higgs' existence could confirm, expand, or even completely rewrite our understanding of how the universe works. For those of us who aren't scientists, however, it can be difficult to imagine how a breakthrough like this will affect our daily lives.
Imagining the expansive possibilities of our universe has long been the job of science fiction.
It helps us see what might be possible, what a particular discovery might mean for our world and how it could affect the kind of people we become. You don't have to be a fan of Star Trek to enjoy engaging with these meaningful questions, especially when they come wrapped in gripping adventures, stunning world-building and compelling characters.
Here are a few science fiction titles to try:
If you like complex plots and characters, excellent writing and inventive technology, (think "Game of Thrones") you'll love these epics by legendary sci-fi authors.
"Existence" by David Brin: A space-based garbage man discovers an alien orb. When it starts to speak, the world is thrown into controversy over the implications.
"Blue Remembered Earth," the first in the "Poseidon's Children" series by Alastair Reynolds: In the near future, when a utopian Africa is the world's superpower, reluctant protagonist Geoffrey Akinya is tasked by his wealthy family to clean up a scandaland discovers something that could destroy society. Iain Banks readers will want to catch this one.
"2312" by Kim Stanley Robinson: As much about deeply describing a potential future universe as it is about Swan Er Hong, a biosphere designer who finds herself at the center of a conspiracy. This unhurried and detailed tome will appeal to fans of Neal Stephenson.
If you like to consider the ethical implications of science but are looking for a lighter, faster-paced read, try:
"Amped" by Daniel H. Wilson (Robopocalypse): Medical implants can now control disorders like epilepsy, but they also give their users superhuman powers. When the court decides that "amped" people are no longer truly human, amp Owen Grey must take the future into his own hands. X-men fans and those who enjoyed "Unwind" by Neal Shusterman shouldn't miss it.
"Before the Fall, During the Fall, After the Fall"by Nancy Kress: Follows the eerie survival struggles of people before, during and after an environmental disaster. It will appeal to adult fans of "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner.
If a good laugh is more your style, pick up one of these humorous science fiction titles:
"Year Zero" by Rob Reid: Aliens inform junior copyright lawyer Nick Carter that the earth is going to be destroyed because of our stringent music copyright laws. Apparently aliens have been pirating our music since Welcome Back Kotter, and plan to destroy the planet rather than pay their astronomical fines.
"Redshirts" by John Scalzi ("Old Man's War"): A tongue-in-cheek tribute to fans of the original Star Trek series. Trekkies will recall that most away missions took the life of one low-ranking officer, often in a red shirt, while the principal officers escaped unscathed. Ensign Andrew Dahl, a "redshirt" newly assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, has just discovered this unfortunate truth.
If these satires make you nostalgic for the late Douglas Adams ("The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"), make sure to pick up "Doctor Who: Shada: The Lost Adventure by Douglas Adams" by Gareth Roberts. Adams wrote this episode of the beloved television show "Doctor Who" for the 1979-1980 season, but it was never produced. Show writer Roberts has turned the script and notes into a novel. Fans of the Doctor or of Douglas Adams will not want to miss this "lost" episode.
If you're looking for something out of the ordinary, try a crossover or subgenre book.
Fantasy lovers will enjoy "Among Others" by Jo Walton, winner of the 2011 Nebula Award. Welsh teenager Morwenna is sent to boarding school after narrowly surviving a magical battle against her own mother. Mourning the loss of her twin sister in that encounter, she turns to science fiction books and a group of newfound friends who share her love for reading.
Steampunk and cyberpunk fans should pick up "Cyber Circus" by Kim Lakin-Smith. Orbiting a destroyed planet, a traveling circus carrying a biologically altered freak show is being pursued by a pimp who wants to reclaim a bioluminescent beauty.
If you enjoy mash-ups like "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," don't miss "Railsea" by China Miéville. When young Sham becomes an apprentice on the train Medes, he meets a one-armed captain who is obsessively seeking revenge against the great white ground-mole who took her limb. Despite the nod to "Moby Dick," "Railsea" retains an eclectic, complex style that is all Miéville's own.
No science fiction list would be complete without a nod to a few beloved ongoing series.
Paolo Bacigalupi's "The Drowned Cities" is a loose follow-up to his award-winning book "Ship Breaker." In a gritty, war-torn future America, two teens on the run form an unlikely alliance with a half-man, half-beast engineered soldier.
"Caliban's War" by James S.A. Corey follows his popular space opera "Leviathan Wakes."
"Earth Unaware: The First Formic War" by Orson Scott Card is a distant prequel to "Ender's Game," detailing the first contact between humans and buggers.

Tag:Winners and Losers Week 7

ACC Winners and Losers: Week 7
Posted by Chip Patterson
A handy recap of who really won and who really lost that you won't find in the box score.
WINNER: Sammy Watkins
Best freshman in the game? Best freshman in the game.
With 345 all-purpose yards, Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins broke C.J. Spiller's single game school record. Spiller re-wrote most of the offensive record book for the Tigers, and seven games into his collegiate career Watkins is already making a dent. The special teams play may become a non-factor as teams learn to kick away (as they did with Spiller), but there is just not an answer for a player of Watkins' caliber and potential at this point in the ACC. The freshman's combination of physical attributes and understanding of the game have been well documented, mostly by his coaches. Swinney started singing his praises days after his arrival on campus in the offseason, and never has his ability come in handy more than in leading the Tigers' greatest comeback in program history. Clemson still has plenty of challenges left between now and their ultimate goal of an ACC title, but I struggled to find a newcomer that has made a more significant impact on his team than Watkins.
LOSER: Clemson's not-so-kind reputation
Until proven otherwise, the Tigers' comeback has silenced Clemson's "watch them pull a Clemson" critics. The Tigers have started plenty of seasons with a talented roster that wows fans and experts alike, only to fall to an opponent they should defeat. Saturday night in College Park was the perfect opportunity to "pull a Clemson." But thanks to outstanding play of Boyd, Ellington, Watkins, and enough plays by the Brandon Thompson and the defense; they pulled a 2011 Clemson. The 2011 Clemson is an act that is not so dissimilar from a 2010 Auburn. They just find a way to win. Expecting a similar result to the Tigers' national title run is outrageous. But expecting a comparable finish (ACC title and BCS bowl win) might not be so crazy at this point.
WINNER: Jacory Harris
The oft-criticized Harris has been silencing the nay-sayers with his most recent performances against two talented defenses. Ever since halftime of Miami's loss to Virginia Tech, Harris has been sharp and on point with his delivery. Against North Carolina on Saturday, Harris got off to a fast start thanks to big plays from Allen Hurns and Tommy Streeter. The senior signal-caller torched North Carolina's secondary for 233 yards in the first half, a new career high. But even with an impressive production, the most important improvement has been his lack of turnovers. Harris' most frequently detrimental fault has been his tendency to misread a route and toss the ball to the opposing defense.
But since getting picked off in Miami's 28-24 loss to Kansas State, Harris has been perfect in the interceptions column. Miami could not afford to fall to 0-3 in the conference, and the Hurricanes got the fast start they needed to ensure it didn't happen in Chapel Hill. The win was a huge step forward for first-year head coach Al Golden, and another building block in Jacory Harris' final season with The U.
LOSER: Maryland's confidence
Quarterback controversies, suspensions for team rules, reports of locker room unrest - it's all been present in Maryland's roller coaster start to the Randy Edsall era. As the Terrapins pushed Clemson to the brink and had Byrd Stadium rocking like it was Labor Day all over again, it seemed like all of the issues were evaporating. A win over No. 8 Clemson could have been the jolt of positivity this team in transition has needed, but instead they suffered a deflating loss. Blowing an 18-point lead is no moral victory, and now the onus will be on Edsall to spin this into the best possible learning experience for Maryland. Sitting at 2-4 with plenty of ACC play left, the Terps are now in jeopardy of missing the postseason. Such a finish would not send great vibes through a program looking to rebrand around their new coach.
WINNER: The Mike London Movement
Throughout the offseason, there was a definitive buzz around second-year coach Mike London at Virginia. The former Richmond head man took the job as one of the touted young coaches in the game, but London's fast impact on the recruiting trail raised eyebrows across the nation. After a slow start, the happy feelings of hope around Virginia football seemed to have turned from a bubble to a fizz until the Cavaliers' upset win over No. 12 Georgia Tech on Saturday.
The Cavaliers got it done by winning the battle in the trenches, physically dominating the Yellow Jackets on the offensive and defensive line. That physical attitude is embodied in London's steadfast attitude towards his football team, and it showed on the big stage against the undefeated Yellow Jackets. With an off-week to prepare, the Cavaliers entered the game with an unwavering confidence defensively and held Georgia Tech to a season-low for rushing yards and total yards of offense. As the fans rushed the field, London celebrated the big win with his players. This might not be THE year for Virginia, but Cavs fans have to feel like they have found THE coach moving forward.
LOSER: Duke
The Blue Devils walked into a losing situation facing Florida State after three straight losses. After losing three straight games over a four week span, the talented Seminoles roster was angry and looking for redemption. EJ Manuel got his first start since the Oklahoma game, and got to work early with three 50+ yard passes in the first quarter. The junior quarterback finished with 239 yards and two touchdowns on the day, sharing the spotlight with freshman running back Devonta Freeman. The lack of a consistent rushing attack has been the most common criticism of Florida State this season, and Freeman's 109 yard outing led the way for an impressive 242 team rushing yards. Duke never really had a chance against this angry Florida State team.
WINNER: Logan Thomas' maturation
The only for Thomas to follow his 23 for 25 outing against Miami with a game-winning touchdown was to repeat the routine again in a crucial road game against a surging Wake Forest team. Thomas was not as accurate statistically, but he was just as effective in providing the big plays needed for the Hokies to bounce back from an early 14-0 deficit. Star receiver Jarett Boykin was the target of choice for the big redshirt sophomore, snagging in seven catches for 149 yards and a touchdown. In addition to his 280 yards and two touchdowns through the air, Thomas once again was a threat on the ground and punched in two goal line scores.
Thomas' maturation as a passer and rushing threat has forced defenses to focus less on running back David Wilson. Focusing less on Wilson is a bad thing, as he demonstrated on Saturday with a 136 yard outing against the Demon Deacons. After another slow start and early season loss, Virginia Tech is hitting their rhythm at the right time. If things continue to progress in Blacksburg, a rematch against the Tigers in Charlotte could be in the cards for Virginia Tech.
LOSER: Bryn Renner
After starting as one of the ACC's most efficient passers, Renner seems to have regressed since starting conference play. There were only eight incompletions on the stat sheet, but the sophomore looked uncomfortable under center against Miami on Saturday. He was uncharacteristically off-target on a few routine throws, and seemed unhappy with his pass protection throughout the entire game. The numbers may look sharp from Saturday's game, but many of the completions were screen passes and check downs to star running back Gio Bernard. Renner knew he was going to face an uphill battle against Miami's defense, now he needs to help his team bounce back on the road against an undefeated Clemson team.

ASML engaged Cresa Transaction and Project Management services to help identity viable options for their local requirement. Cresa was able to cohesively collaborate and establish realistic budget and schedule expectations to successfully negotiate a new lease.
Working within a tight timeframe to design, construct, and deliver the newly improved space was a known challenge for ASML and their employees. Cresa Project Management was integral in guiding the team through the process from preliminary planning through project completion. The building selected was an office-flex building that required the addition of a mezzanine and elevator in order to incorporate all of ASML's requirements. In close coordination with the landlord, Cresa was able to appropriately develop an execution plan to deliver the project on time and within budget. The result of the improvements provided ASML with a space full of natural light and the ability for future expansion to achieve their growth requirements.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau plans to follow enforcement procedures
"based largely on the existing, stable model" used by the Federal Trade
Commission, according to a document on the bureau's Web site outlining how it
will seek documents, conduct hearings, and deal with witnesses. The rules track
what the FTC already does, so "they present an existing, stable model of
investigatory procedures that should not impose new compliance costs," the
bureau says in the document. The posted rules by themselves give little insight
into how forceful the CFPB will be in dealing with lenders, according to Howard
Beales, a former FTC official who is now professor at George Washington
University in Washington. "This says what the framework for enforcement is,"
Beales explains. "It says nothing about the mix between supervision and
enforcement." Peggy Twohig, the bureau's assistant director for non-bank
supervision, and Steve Antonakes, the assistant director for large-bank
supervision, have hinted that the agency may rely heavily on supervision. The
bureau also posted rules similar to those used by prudential regulators
governing how it will conduct reviews in which firms can contest administrative

"A Signal Victory": The Battle of Lake Erie
Our new Featured Document–Oliver Perry's letter to the Secretary of the Navy–will be on display from September 10 to 19, 2014, at the National Archives in Washington, DC. Today's blog post was written by former student employee Meghan O'Connor.
Early in the War of 1812, the Americans lost control of Detroit and Lake Erie to the British and their Native American allies. The U.S. Navy sent 28-year-old Oliver Hazard Perry to Lake Erie to build a squadron and retake that important waterway.
On September 10, 1813, the Americans defeated the British on Lake Erie. Commodore Perry declared the naval battle "a signal victory." In a war marked by early failures, this victory secured Ohio and the territories of Michigan and Indiana. It also provided a needed boost in national morale and marked a rare surrender of a complete Royal Navy squadron.
Letter from Commodore Oliver Perry to Hon. Wm. Jones, Secy. of Navy, September 10, 1813
With a crew that Perry once described as "a motley set, blacks, soldiers and boys," the Americans met Britain's powerful Royal Navy on Lake Erie. A flag flew above Perry's ship, the Lawrence, emblazoned with the words "Don't Give Up the Ship." This battle cry was the dying command, in an earlier battle, of Perry's friend … [ Read all ]

What are you doing on July 4?
Every year, we celebrate Independence Day on the steps of the National Archives Building in Washington, DC. It's a fun, free event for the whole family!
(And if you don't like the heat, you can now watch the program live from inside the National Archives building. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to reserve a seat in our air-conditioned theater.)
This year, Steve Scully of C-SPAN is our Master of Ceremonies. The Archivist of the United States, David Ferriero, will welcome the crowds. Our special guests George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, Ned Hector, and Abigail Adams will read aloud the Declaration of Independence. This is your chance to boo and huzzah like the colonists of 1776!
The 3rd United States Infantry "Old Guard" Continental Color Guard will present the colors, and the United States Air Force Band will sing the National Anthem.
After the program, you can go into the building and see the original Declaration of Independence in the Rotunda where it is on permanent display. (Look for the mysterious handprint!) And don't miss the family activities in the Boeing Learning Center.
Here's the schedule of events—stay and watch the parade afterwards!
10 a.m.–11 a.m.

White House Reunions: Presidential Library Dedications
Today's blog post comes from Susan Donius, Director of the Office of Presidential Libraries at the National Archives.
It's not often that several Presidents are together at one time, but on April 25, the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum will be dedicated to the American public. Although many dignitaries from around the world will attend, all eyes will likely focus on the gathering of men who have called the White House home. In addition to George W. Bush, guests of honor will include current Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama, and former Presidents William J. Clinton, George Bush, and Jimmy Carter.
The first Presidential Library and Museum was conceived and built under President Franklin D. Roosevelt's direction from 1939 to 1940 in Hyde Park, NY. The official FDR Library dedication was a small, quiet affair, with close friends and family attending the ceremony. Over the years, the ceremonies have grown larger, and dedications have become notable for the atmosphere of nonpartisan goodwill and respect among former Presidents.
The Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum was dedicated on July 6, 1957, in Independence, MO. During Truman's Presidency, Herbert Hoover offered his services to help with post–World War II humanitarian efforts. Despite being Presidents from opposing parties, the two forged a working relationship that eventually grew into a strong friendship. At … [ Read all ]

Suffrage and suffering at the 1913 March
Today's blog post comes from Jessie Kratz, archives specialist in the Center for Legislative Archives. If you are participating in the 100th anniversary of the parade on Sunday, stop by the National Archives to see the document that finally gave women the right to vote. The 19th Amendment is on display from March 1 to March 8.
As woman suffrage advocates marched along Pennsylvania Avenue on March 3, 1913, they were met with crowds of unruly men blocking their paths and shouting derogatory remarks.
While making preparations for the parade, organizers had made repeated attempts to secure police protection—they even contacted the Secretary of War seeking assistance from the U.S. military. Richard H. Sylvester, Chief of DC Police, had assured organizers that he could manage the situation without the military, but he ultimately failed to control the crowd.
The poor treatment of the marchers sparked immediate outrage.
The day after the parade, the Senate passed a resolution authorizing the Committee on the District of Columbia to investigate the police's handling of the incident. The committee … [ Read all ]

The 19th Amendment on display at the National Archives
The 19th Amendment is on display from March 1 to March 8 at the National Archives Building in honor of the 100th anniversary of the 1913 woman's suffrage parade in Washington, DC. We will also be screening the 2004 film "Iron-Jawed Angels" at noon on March 2.
Today's guest post is from curator Bruce Bustard.
The 19th Amendment guarantees American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation. Beginning in the mid-19th century, woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered radical change.
Between 1878, when the amendment was first introduced in Congress, and 1920, when it was ratified, champions of voting rights for women … [ Read all ]

Dirk Nowitzki bails out Mavericks' sloppy play
It looked like it was going to be an easy night for the Mavericks with an 83-58 lead midway through the third quarter, then everything sort of stopped for the Mavericks.
Darren Collison got hot. So did Marcus Thornton. The Mavs started to turn the ball over, take quick shots and lost the rhythm they had in the first half.
The other night New Orleans came back from an 18-point deficit to beat Orlando at home. And if the players needed a reminder of that comeback ability, the game was airing on the TV in pre-game.
"These guys are pretty good at coming back on teams and a lot of time they win," coach Rick Carlisle said. "Tonight we won, which is better than losing."
When the Mavericks had to have something offensively, they went to Dirk Nowitzki. Not surprisingly. Nowitzki put up his third straight game with at least 30 points – 36 on 14-of-25 shooting – and he scored 12 of Dallas' final 16 points.
"We weren't in a good groove there in the fourth, so I felt like I had to take more shots," Nowitzki said. "I was really disappointed there. I got two good looks with two minutes to go that went in and out. Then I finally made the turnaround with 58 seconds to go. That was a big shot."
Nowitzki closed out the Dallas scoring with three free throws with 11.6 seconds left.

I have a Haier HWD1600 front load combo unit that appears to have two issues:
- During a wash cycle, the unit will continue trying to drain for many minutes even though it has drained quite well. Sometimes, after many minutes, it will move forward in the wash cycle, and other times it will not stop trying to drain. How does the machine know when the water level is low enough to be considered drained and to move on with the cycle?
- I am getting an error 13 in the dry cycle. It is exactly the same issue that drkwoods was having in another post. He said that he replaced PCB WD-5210-12 and that fixed the issue. I wanted to confirm that it was in fact this part number (as there are a few PCBs for this unit) and also was wondering if there was a way to test the part before replacing it. They run about $70 and I would like to try to confirm that this is the issue before buying one. I am not sure if it is possible to contact this member. Any help doing so would be appreciated. Error 13 has to do with the heating of the unit. My machine is heating well and the fan is running just fine, but the cycle stops after 15 minutes with an error 13 code.

Oct 15, 2009"Review from Alan." Sorry that I didn't get back to you before but I was away over the Easter period and I wanted to have a good look at the book before getting back to you. I'm extremely pleased with it and I congratulate you. A labour of love I suspect. If I can be critical, it's a pity about the line breaks, for example, at the bottom of pages 4 and 5 among others, as well as the irregular spacing between paragraphs. These however are cosmetic and don't detract from the value of the book. If you'd like me to give detailed comments, although I'm no expert, I'd be happy to do so. My favourite biography is Nolan Porterfield's Jimmie Rodgers, so by way of answering your question, I'll keep yours next to that. Regards Alan
Apr 21, 2007"Blind Willie Johnson..the Biography" Blind Willie is one of the most obscure of all pre-war blues/folk artists. Over generations, many blues scholars have traveled the deep south in hopes to regain some lost information, but alas very little information was to be found. Besides a few articles in Guitar and Blues afficiando magazines and books, it didnt seem like Blind Willie would get a book of his own. A bulk of the book is word-by-word notation of the lyrics, accompanied by a forward and subtle analyzation of each song's lyrical origins and the tunings used on the guitar. As there is only one known photograph of BWJ, you will find it scanned over and over again throughout the book. There are some flaws with the layout of the book, but overall very admirable that someone took this work on, and it makes a great companion while listening to the music. Thanks

The consumer quest has begun for the current video game holy grail, the PlayStation 4.
Sony's new PS4 home game console officially goes on sale Friday for $399.
An Amazon Fulfillment Center prepares for the release of Sony's PlayStation 4.
Demand for the PS4 and Microsoft's own new home system, the Xbox One (out Nov. 22, $499) is expected to outstrip supply through the holiday season and into 2014, says Norman Fong, CEO and co-founder of BuyVia, which has a smartphone app for tracking retail deals.
Consumers started lining up at retailers in San Francisco on Thursday morning, Fong says, in anticipation of the first systems to be sold after midnight.
Elsewhere, the line at the Game Stop store in West Ocean City, Md., began at 4 a.m. Thursday, when 14-year-old James Stewart brought a folding lawn chair and parked it right beside the entrance.
Stewart, of Ocean Pines, Md., got a ride to the store at the White Marlin Mall from his uncle, Danny Parker, 46. They showed up so early because they expected a much longer line by daybreak, but that never materialized, both said.
"Later on tonight it's going to be a lot worse, because that's when all the people who got pre-orders are going to come down here," Stewart said.
Tony Coffield, 21, of Ocean Pines, Md., said he knows the rival XBox One is coming out soon, but he won't be buying it. Besides the fact that the new Xbox retails for $100 more, he thinks PlayStation 4 has superior graphics and gameplay. "The realism is amazing," he said.
A handful of gamers arrived at Best Buy in Green Bay, Wis., when the store opened at 10 a.m. Thursday to get in line for a limited supply of the $399 consoles that the store planned to sell after midnight, a sales associate said.
In Appleton, Wis., a GameStop store roped off a waiting area for the die-hards hoping to get a first play of the new system.
Jason Allen was the first in line shortly after noon Thursday. He said he would wait until 6 p.m., when numbered tickets were to be distributed. He joked that the console would be a Christmas gift for his kids, but might have to be opened shortly after midnight, "just to make sure the thing works."
Consumers are eager because the PlayStation 4 is Sony's first new home system in seven years, an eternity in the fast-paced consumer technology world. Sony and Microsoft hope to reinvigorate the console game market with their new higher-powered systems and more immersive and innovative games.
Retailers from Best Buy to Target have sold many of the initial systems to consumers on pre-order. But most stores hope to have a few extras available for the hopeful.
"We have thousands of pre-orders, but we also have PlayStation 4s on hand for people to purchase," says Walmart spokeswoman Sarah McKinney.
While it expects to run out, Walmart will have PS4 and Xbox One systems for Black Friday shoppers. "We're going to be putting them out as fast as we can get them in," she says.
Sony has sold more than 1 million PS4s to retailers already and hopes to sell more than 5 million globally by the end of March. "Getting out of the gate is important," says Sony Computer Entertainment President and CEO Andrew House.
Competitor Nintendo released its Wii U last November and has had moderate success with that new system. It has sold more than 3 million so far. That's a much slower sales rate than that of its predecessor the Wii. Sony and Microsoft are expected to perform better and to benefit from slow Wii sales, says Piers Harding-Rolls, head of games research for global market analysis firm IHS.
By beating Xbox One to market by a week and being priced $100 below the competition, Sony "has got itself into a much stronger position at the launch of the PS4 compared to the PS3," he says.
Still, he expects few Xbox defectors because of Microsoft's successful Xbox Live online gaming network, which is extremely popular in the U.S. "As such in these opening weeks we expect Xbox One to outsell PS4 in North America, with the reverse taking place in Europe," he says.

Junior high teacher felt he could change young lives
Bob O'Leary's people skills and concern for others served him well throughout his long life.
He served his country during World War II, established a disc jockey business later in life and is remembered for the many years he spent as a social studies teacher.
Robert E. O'Leary of Monroeville died on Monday, Dec. 31, 2012, in Allegheny General Hospital, North Side. He was 88.
"My father felt that the years he spent as a junior high school social studies teacher enabled him to be available to students at the most impressionable times of their lives," said his daughter, Janet Balas of Monroeville.
Born and raised in the South Side, Robert O'Leary was one of two sons of printer Frank O'Leary and his wife, Catherine Ann Cooper O'Leary.
After graduating from South Hills High School, Mr. O'Leary entered the Army, where he served as an officer in the Quartermaster Corps, stationed in the Philippines upon the surrender of Japan in World War II.
Upon being discharged, Mr. O'Leary, with the help of the GI Bill, enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh, where he received bachelor's and master's degrees in education. He taught for 40 years, retiring in 1989 from the former Monroeville Junior High School.
Mr. O'Leary and his wife, June Lockhart O'Leary, who enjoyed dancing, then started their DJ business, planning club dances and social affairs for 20 years.
"My father, who was outgoing and personable, did the announcing, and my mother picked out the music she thought was most appropriate for the affair," Balas said. "Among their clients were Tiffany Dance Club and the Pittsburgh chapter of USABDA (United States Amateur Ballroom Dancers Association)."
In addition to daughter Janet and wife, June, whom he married in 1948, Mr. O'Leary is survived by his sons, Robert O'Leary of Murrysville and Kevin O'Leary of Oakmont; four grandchildren; one great-grandchild; and three stepgreat-grandchildren.
Mr. O'Leary was preceded in death by a brother, Frank O'Leary.
Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday in the Gene H. Corl Funeral Chapel and Cremation Center of Monroeville, where services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday with Pastor Nancy Titus of Bethel United Presbyterian Church, Monroeville, officiating. Interment will follow in Cross Roads Cemetery, Monroeville.

Pope Urges Africans to Build Peace and Solidarity
Exhorts Politicians to Care for Poor, Common Good of All
| 1648 hits
LUANDA, Angola, MARCH 23, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI is affirming the Angolans in their efforts to build a future of forgiveness, solidarity and justice, and is appealing to politicians to care for the most needy.
The Pope said this today in a farewell address at Angola's Quatro de Fevereiro airport before departing the country for Rome, concluding his pastoral visit to Africa. He spoke in the presence of José Eduardo dos Santos, the country's president, political, civil and religious authorities, and a group of young people.
"I thank God that I have found the Church here to be so alive and full of enthusiasm," he affirmed, "despite the difficulties, able to take up its own cross and that of others, bearing witness before everyone to the saving power of the Gospel message."
The Church "continues to proclaim that the time of hope has come," he said, and it "is committed to bringing peace and promoting the exercise of fraternal charity in a way that is acceptable to all, respecting the ideas and sensitivities of each person."
The Pontiff expressed sadness at having to say goodbye, but also gladness "to have known a courageous people determined to begin again."
Needy people
He made a last appeal, asking that the "just realization of the fundamental aspirations of the most needy peoples should be the principal concern of those in public office."
"Our hearts cannot find peace while there are still brothers and sisters who suffer for lack of food, work, shelter or other fundamental goods," noted the Holy Father.
He added, "If we are to offer a definite response to these fellow human beings, the first challenge to be overcome is that of building solidarity."
This solidarity, he explained, should be between generations, between nations and between continents, and "should lead to an ever more equitable sharing of the earth's resources among all people."
He prayed for God's protection and assistance on "the countless refugees who have fled their country, and are now at large, waiting to be able to return home."
God does not forget you, affirmed Benedict XVI, "God loves you like sons and daughters; he watches over your days and your nights, your labors and your aspirations."
He exhorted the Angolans: "Never tire of promoting peace, making gestures of forgiveness and working for national reconciliation, so that violence may never prevail over dialogue, nor fear and discouragement over trust, nor rancor over fraternal love.
"This is all possible if you recognize one another as children of the same Father, the one Father in Heaven."
After the departure ceremony, the Pope's flight took off at 10:30 this morning, and arrived in Rome at 6:00 this evening.

Last year, 193 people were killed in New Orleans, 331 in Philadelphia and 14,827 nationwide—and most of them were young African-Americans, they said in remarks prepared for a turn-and-turn-about speech Thursday at the National Press Club in Washington.
People murdered in this country from 1980 through 2012 outnumber all U.S. deaths in every war from World War I on, Landrieu said.
He said part of the solution could be for Congress and the president to redirect nearly $14 billion spent to build police departments in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Mexico and Columbia to a program to put more police on the beat in cities across America.
"We need to redirect federal resources back to the home front," he said in his prepared remarks. "We need Congress to treat fighting murder and violent crime as a national priority."
After 2,977 people were killed on Sept. 11, 2001, the United States created the Department of Homeland Security and its Transportation Security Administration, and got into "two wars costing thousands of lives and trillions of dollars," Nutter said in his prepared remarks.
But "thousands of black men and boys, and many other Americans die every day in our country and virtually nothing happens," he said.
"This is serious—we need a Domestic Security Agency, because we have a violence problem in America," Nutter said.

|Involvement of signal regulatory protein α, a negative regulator of Toll-like receptor signaling, in impairing the MyD88-independent pathway and intracellular killing of Burkholderia pseudomallei-infected mouse macrophages.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22988019 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The facultative intracellular gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis and is known for its ability to evade the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated innate immune response. Previously it has been demonstrated that this bacterium was able to suppress the MyD88-independent pathway and can survive macrophage intracellular killing. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for the suppression of this pathway are not fully understood. In the present study, we showed that both living and heat-killed B. pseudomallei bacteria restrict the TLR signaling response, particularly macrophage inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, by preventing downregulation of constitutively expressed signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) molecule, a known negative regulator of TLR signaling. In contrast, a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mutant of B. pseudomallei, a less virulent strain, was able to downregulate SIRPα expression in mouse macrophages. However, depletion of constitutively expressed SIRPα was able to induce the gene expression downstream of TLR signaling pathways (particularly the MyD88-independent pathway), such as that of the iNOS gene, leading to enhanced macrophage intracellular killing of B. pseudomallei. Induction of gene expression was consistent with the enhanced degradation pattern of IκBα with SIRPα depletion. Additionally, the downregulation of SIRPα expression with upregulation of iNOS was observed when the macrophages were pretreated with gamma interferon (IFN-γ) prior to the infection, suggesting that the enhanced intracellular killing of bacteria by IFN-γ is associated with the decreased SIRPα expression. Altogether our findings demonstrate that B. pseudomallei evades macrophage intracellular killing by preventing the downregulation of SIRPα that results in the inhibition of gene expression downstream of the MyD88-independent pathway.

^ I think Chris picked it up in Japan.
I found 4 bottles of russels reserve 10/90 for $15 per, I dont recall the original price because it has been so long since I have bought some, but if you all can remember, let me know.
Around here they go for about $30.
This is all sad to read. I have a bottle of '04 KS that I've been enjoying the hell out of. It really changed my opinion on WT. Sounds like I'll have to seek out older bottles if I want to continue enjoying the brand.
The RR 10/90 just came back to to the local grocery store shelves, haven't seen it for awhile. I can still get a handle of the old label 101 there as well.

You wake up in Las Vegas and the sting is still alive and well in your head after a long fun night experiencing all that Las Vegas had in store for you. Well, don't stop there have a little more fun.
These are the 5 things you should be thinking about doing today in Las Vegas.
Here we go:
5 – The Mob Attraction at Tropicana Hotel. You might hear about the Mob Museum but trust me when I tell you that the Mob Attraction is more interactive and the amount of real artifacts and intriguing displays will make you far happier than trekking all the way to Downtown Las Vegas. Get into character and work on your best accent because they will require you to play a part in your own tour.
4 – Have a Margarita at Margaritaville at Flamingo Las Vegas. I'm a parrot head so holding a boat drink in one hand while singing Jimmy Buffet songs is what I do. I'm saying you should try it while on vacation. Don't worry, you'll never see those people again in your life.
3 – Consider an Evening With Boyz II Men at the Mirage – Yes, I'm telling you to go see a boy band. I know, it would seem like an odd suggestion until you realize that they put on an amazing show. They make you dance, sing and feel good. They do it right and you should get in there and do it as well.
2- Find a Pool in Las Vegas – It doesn't really matter (it actually does) where you decide to lounge just do it. Find a pool that has some cool water and cold drinks and then buy yourself a magazine that you would never get through and challenge yourself to do some reading and relaxing. I'll suggest the pools at Mandalay Bay, Caesars Palace, MGM Grand and Palazzo/Venetian.
1 – Cocktails at Fusion at Palazzo – This is still my favorite casino bar. I should explain that I can't really consider The Chandelier at Cosmopolitan as a casino bar because it is far more than that. Casino bar is a convenient place to get a drink while gambling. Fusion does that and it allows me to play some video poker. The pros mixing the drinks actually do some great things with infused alcohol.
As I write this I came up with another 20 things that I really want to do in Las Vegas. That's the beauty of the Las Vegas strip. It appeals to everyone from the foodie to the nightowl to the gambler. So what are you waiting for? You do know we can help you plan that perfect trip to Las Vegas, right?

Lonmin behind with wage increases: witnessComment on this story
Pretoria - Platinum miner Lonmin was behind in paying salary increases for rock drill operators when approached by workers in June 2012, the Farlam Commission of Inquiry heard on Tuesday.
"At the time, I saw what had happened at Impala (Platinum). They had given an increase to rock drill operators," Michael Gomes da Costa, vice president of Lonmin's Karee mining operations, told the inquiry in Pretoria.
"I knew there was a gap because we had fallen behind."
He said he knew Impala Platinum had increased its rock drillers' salaries before Lonmin's miners approached him for a meeting.
About 300 miners approached Da Costa on June 21, 2012. He asked to speak with two representatives from the group. They told him they wanted a basic salary of R12,500 for Karee's rock drill operators.
"I pointed out that the increase is extremely high and unaffordable. They thought it was the number that would reward them for the work they do. They said it was a good number," Da Costa said.
He told the miners there were structures to deal with wage increases.
They responded that they did not want the unions to be involved. The miners told Da Costa their work was physically demanding and the hours were long.
Da Costa said he told the miners he would refer the matter to Lonmin's executive committee. He said the meeting was cordial and the miners were respectful.
Karee's acting human resources manager July Tiro accompanied Da Costa to the meeting.
The commission, chaired by retired Judge Ian Farlam, is investigating the deaths of 44 people during the violent wage-related strike at Lonmin's platinum mining operations in Marikana, North West.
On August 16, 2012, 34 people, mostly mineworkers, were shot dead by police while trying to disarm and disperse them. Another 10 people, including two policemen and two security guards, were killed during the preceding week.
