Tired of taking that trip outside to light the water heater? Here's your solution.
A simple flip of the switch from inside the coach turns your water heater on or off. And these Water Heaters are just as efficient as they are convenient. The patented through-tube combustion chamber uses the heat from the pilot flame to help maintain water temperature rather than loosing that heat energy to the outside.
- 95% of all serviceable components are accessible through the exterior door... reduces service time and virtually eliminates the need for service personnel to enter your coach
- High temperature limit switch, thermostat, and pressure and temperature relief valve help prevent heater problems
- Externally sealed combustion chamber keeps the outside of the unit clean
- Can be mounted flush into the RV sidewall for an integrated, attractive appearance
- Optional Heat-Exchanger Model pipes engine coolant out and around the water tank to use engine heat to create an even more efficient heating system
- Aluminum clad tank reduces weight and eliminates the need for an anode rod.

Rabbit in Wonderland, a favorite attraction of Ursula
This attraction is much like the Disney animated feature of the book of the story "Rabbit in Wonderland" by Emperor Zurg. Climb on a caterpillar and plummet into a suspicious hole and use your laser cannon to shoot targets and score points all over Wonderland. You might even smoke a pipe with a caterpillar on your way to ground level!

Last December, we had picked out a great quality solid Antique 3/4 in x 5 in wood called Taun Teak from the warehouse ( store ) of the Factory Direct Floor for less than $3.90 per s.f. = half price of elsewhere we have searched ( me & my partner ) for our new house which...more was still under construction. Last month, finally after everything was completed except the flooring ( the company advised to be installed the last to avoid damages and scratched during the construction period ), we had the Factory Direct's installation crew in to start the "nail down" installation. Before commenting about their good work, let's start off with: - I called in and stated that we have purchsed the flooring in Dec last year and now are ready for installation. The nice gentleman on the line asked for my invoice number to pull me up to his computer screen and scheduled a date for delivery and a date for installation. I was wondering if they could start the same day of delivery so he was patiently explaining about how solid wood needs a few days of acclimation inside the room before installation for the best result. Ok, fair enough and very professional. - Two gentlemen arrived 5 minutes before the appointment time for the delivery, moved box by box ( I guess 70-80 lb each ) into my living room and opened the ends and asked me to count and receive the 85 boxes. Ok, on time, polite, no extra talking, well trained drivers. - 9:15 am of the installation date, 3 installers showed up at our door with a truck of tools, machines, pumps, and whatever they need for the job. The Crew Lead Pat asked for every detail that they need to know includes the direction of the flooring planks, space of cutting work, what edge and stair color variation we prefer, and the closet doors to meet the floor...after received all the answers from me, the hard workers started the job without talking or playing any loud music or smoking or singing like some other contractors did in our house before. - There was another gentleman I think he said his name was Wang, the site manager, has stopped by and checked the work twice during the installation period and communicated with Pat about a couple detail - 5 days later, the beautiful floor has been completed! we love it! Pat asked us to call their office to let Steve know that we were happy with the work so they left after the floor's cleaned and all the garbage's taken out of the house into their truck. - 1 week later, we received a copy of our final paid in full invoice and the manufacturer floor warranty and the workmanship warranty from their corporate office's email. - last week, we referred our neighbor to the Factory Direct Floor for their house's new hardwood floor project. They came back with a home made cake with thanks and told us that we have just saved them close to $5000 for 1500 s.f. because Factory Direct has both lower prices on matrerial and labor compare to the price they found. Ok, that's what I told you right? view less

The best thing in my house is the floor Oh No...someone doesn't like to see my favorite flooring company stays busy..oh well I believe Factory Direct Floor is busy due to its price, service and the most important, nice people who work on this project. Thanks Tom, Teri, Tu...moregs and the helpers. I live in a newer condominium built in 2011, 5800 Third St, San Francisco. Most of the buyers took the basic carpet from the builder instead of the upgraded wood flooring that cost 4-5 time of Factory Direct's prices. Our HOA wasn't easy to work with, it took 3 weeks to get my kitchen cabinets project approved but Factory Direct Floor was on the file with other units they have done before mine, with the completed document required by HOA, Factory Direct's approved for flooring in 2 days by my HOA, but flooring was the last thing to be installed after kitchen..sigh.. Of Course Factory Direct Floor has the proper paperwork, the valid contractor license and the insurance policy that our HOA requests, I had to fill out the HOA paper again with all the document even they were on file already. However, the documents were not the only reason I decided to do business with the Factory Direct. I know for sure the Factory Direct has done at least 4 other units in our building beforr I applied. Jimmy, who has found this wonderful company and became their first customer in the building. Johnathan on the 3/F, Dianna on the 4/F, and Tim I forgot which unit he's at, all of them are very happy with everything includes the price, floor quality, and the installation workmanship. With their referral, I had visited the company twice in order to select and decide on a Hickoy distressed engineer floor from their thousands of items displayed at minimum 45% below other floor stores I found. It came with a lifetime warranty from the brand as well as the workmanship warranty from the store. The installation was just awesome by the crew that did Tim's unit but not other 3 units. I had over ordered a little prepared for some cutting waste so we had 1 full box left at the end of the job and the installers took it back to the warehouse for a full refund no restocking charge or penalty. I know that all 5 of us have sent more neighbors to Factory Direct Floor these couple of years and the HOA also started to tell the new buyers that Factory Direct Floor is our preferred flooring guy of this building as well as 5900 Third St. - Jean C.view less
Hi, I have read all the great reviews on this page about how good the prices and selection of the Factory Direct's flooring so I went all the way from Santa Clara and purchased the new hardwood floor named ' acacia ' for my house and was installed by the company crew. Beaut...moreiful! I had no doubt about the low prices and the great selection here but this is the review about their great customer service. The sales manager Tom was the greatest professional I've met in the remodeling field. He has given me all straight and honest answers for almost a hundred questions I have asked a lot because this is the very first flooring project for my first own house in my life, youknow how it is. After I purchased the floor, he has requested their in house crew to call me for installation appointment. I thought I have to wait for a few days before someone will call me just like any other home remodeling companies do, believe or not, the crew lead named Bat, has called my cell phone right after I got into my car from signing the flooring project at their office, guess 3-4 minutes! he has booked a day to deliver my wood for acclimation ( don't understand that but they said its industrial standard required ) and a day to start installation a week from delivery. Bat, a nice man and his 2 helpers showed up right on time 5 pm sharp at delivery appointment and moved all boxes into my house and stacked up with opening box ends ( acclimation ) and inspected the site with telling me some minor work that I have to prepare as a home owner. They then returned a week later and installed all the loose planks on my floor that became a great looking flooring with all bunch of tools, nails, guns, pumps, etc. I did not understand the procedure but I did not ask a question because I already have trusted that the company knows what they are doing from that point. 4 days have passed, and the beautiful flooring has been done which changed the entire look of my house. Bat has called his installation manager to report that the job has been completed with customer ( me ) satisfied and agreed to pay the final balance with my credit card. They then have taken every single piece of the old carpet and garbage for disposal and left me home alone to think about what's the next I need to do for my new house. The whole process, no hassel, no pain, but pleasure. view less

NEW YORK, September 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Throughout the boom in complex leveraged and collateralised debt instruments, high yields have all but blinded investors to the significant risk. Now that the market has turned sour and lenders are calling in the debts, investors are learning the hard way how CDOs and other exotic instruments can quickly unravel. GoldenSource Corporation, a leading provider of Enterprise Data Management (EDM) solutions, has recently published a white paper outlining how EDM can help mitigate the fall out from the current credit crunch crisis, titled "Battling the credit crunch with Enterprise Data Management."
Today's credit crunch has led to defaults in a US$100bn market sector - US sub-prime mortgages - that are now destroying confidence in trillions of dollars of collateralised instruments. As sub-prime mortgages have been routinely pooled and packaged with other debt in large, complex CDOs, they are contaminating even highly rated debt, creating a risk-averse market and drying up the money supply.
To survive this crisis and avoid becoming another Herstatt or Barings, financial institutions need a comprehensive understanding of all the debt they hold and all the related information on customers, counterparties, issuers and collateral. With a clear view of both their exposure to risk and the collateral they can offset against that risk, firms can weather the storm and prove their viability to the market.
By applying proven enterprise data management techniques, institutions can gain a solid view of their comprehensive holdings and have the ability to fall back on centralised, clean, detailed data in times of crisis. When uncertainty strikes the market, EDM can help restore confidence and protect against risk.
To gain a fuller insight to the issues raised by the current credit crunch and to obtain a full copy of the GoldenSource white paper please contact:

Much of the discussion around cloud DevOps focuses on the speed with which companies need to get new code into production. This focus is important – because in an increasingly digital marketplace, new code enables new value propositions. New code is also often essential for maintaining competitive parity with market innovators. But new code doesn't just have to deliver the functionality the business requires. It also has to behave well because the behavior of code in the cloud affects performan...

In 2006, Martin Fowler posted his now famous essay on Continuous Integration. Looking back, what seemed revolutionary, radical or just plain crazy is now common, pedestrian and "just what you do." I love it. Back then, building and releasing software was a real pain. Integration was something you did at the end, after code complete, and we didn't know how long it would take. Some people may recall how we, as an industry, spent a massive amount of time integrating code from one team with another...

The use of APIs has gone beyond just traditional "software" companies, to companies and organizations across industries using APIs to share information and power their applications.

In other cases, APIs can increase a business's footprint and initiate collaboration. Netflix, for example, reported over 5 bi...

"The consignment did originate from Iran," Odein Ajumogobia said on Friday.
"That's been confirmed from our own shipping documents and the Iranian foreign minister."
Ajumogobia met Manouchehr Mottaki, his Iranian counterpart, late on Thursday to discuss the shipment, intercepted by Nigeria's secret service in the port of Lagos and found to contain rockets and other explosives.
Ajumogobia told the Reuters news agency that Mottaki had promised Iran's co-operation with an investigation into the shipment and said he did not currently believe it had broken UN sanctions. Nigeria is currently a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.
"The Security Council resolution to which Nigeria was party was dealing with nuclear materials. There's no indication that's implicated here," Ajumogobia said.
"If Nigeria finds in the conclusion of investigations that there has been a breach of any sanctions, as a member of the UN [Security] Council we would do what is necessary," he said.
Breach of sanctions
However, diplomats have said the arms shipment could put Iran in breach of UN sanctions imposed over its refusal to halt a sensitive nuclear programme.
In a 2007 resolution stepping up sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme, the UN Security Council banned Iranian arms exports, forbidding the sale or supply of weapons by Iran, whether directly or indirectly.The resolution states that Iran must not "supply, sell or transfer directly or indirectly from its territory or by its nationals ... any arms or related material".
It also requires nations to prevent any such transfers and prevent their citizens from obtaining any weapons from Iran.
Ajumogobia said that following his meeting with Mottaki, Nigeria's secret service had been given access to an Iranian wanted for questioning in connection with the shipment who had taken refuge in Iran's embassy in Abuja, Nigeria's capital.
But Nigeria had been unable to question a second suspect, an Iranian diplomat who was covered by diplomatic immunity.
Diplomatic sources said the two Iranians were believed to be members of al-Quds, an elite unit of the Revolutionary Guards that specialises in foreign operations on behalf of Iran.
Nigeria's secret service said on Wednesday it had been monitoring the movement of the illegal cargo before it entered Lagos, one of Africa's busiest ports, in July and that there was no question that Nigeria was the intended destination.
False cargo declaration
An international cargo shipper based in France has said one of its ships picked up the containers from Bandar Abbas, a port in southern Iran.
CMA CGM said that it was the victim of a false cargo declaration. It has said it is co-operating fully with investigating agencies.
The cargo was labelled as building materials and was transferred to a warehouse in Lagos.
The consignee was a Nigerian, also under investigation, and the goods were originally meant for an address in Abuja, Ajumogobia said.
But they were intercepted when they were returned to the port in an attempt to re-export them.
"At that point another set of shipping documents appeared and the individuals who were connected to the shipment suggested these goods were being trans-shipped through Nigeria to a third country, the Gambia," Ajumogobia said.
"That aspect of the investigation has not been concluded."

RINGING UP AN INTEREST: Iraq to launch major telecom IPO
Telecom listing to be Iraq's largest and first major IPO since a U.S. led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003. Hass investor confidence finally returned to Iraq after years of war, political instability and financial sanctions
January 6, 2013 8:06 by Reuters
An advertisement for Iraq's stock exchange, running in local newspapers over recent weeks, poses the question: "How can I invest in shares?" It then assures readers that the process is easy, advising them to contact brokerages for details.
Another ad, by Iraqi mobile telephone operator Asiacell, warns readers: "Be ready, because we are ready."
Investors will get a chance to buy into the country's oil-fuelled economic boom this month as Asiacell seeks to raise at least $1.35 billion by floating 25 percent of its share capital on the Baghdad stock market.
It will be the country's largest-ever initial public offer of equity, and one of the Middle East's biggest share offers in the last several years – the first major IPO in Iraq since a U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.
So it will be seen as a test of investor confidence in an economy that is recovering from years of war, political instability and financial sanctions.
Officials hope a successful IPO will galvanise the stock market, luring foreign money into the country and helping make the market a useful tool for Iraqi companies to raise funds for expansion.
But the country's small and undeveloped financial system is lagging its economic growth, and this could hinder Asiacell's IPO, preventing some of the shares on offer from being sold. The stock market may have trouble absorbing the new supply, and interested foreign investors may find it difficult to move their money into the country.
Saad al-Bayati, an economist based in Baghdad, said a weak investment environment because of political instability, unreliable physical security and capital flight from the country would jeopardise such a large IPO.
"All these are issues which affect the share market and do not allow for rational economic predictions," he said.

General Information
April 19, 2010
By: Kevin Casas-Zamora
The deposition of Honduras's former President Manuel Zelaya on June 28, 2009, and its turbulent aftermath configure probably the most important episode in inter-American relations in the past year. For many observers, the election of President Porfirio Lobo in a free and fair contest in November 2009 provided a blissful ending to the crisis. This is questionable. While there is no doubt that the election of Lobo and the recognition of its government by a critical mass of countries, particularly the United States, were decisive steps in pulling Honduras from the brink, a return to political normalcy in this small country takes more than this. In particular, it requires a genuine effort –led by President Lobo—to foster national reconciliation after the trauma of 2009.
The basic road map to do this is laid out in the texts of the San Jose/Tegucigalpa Accords, signed by negotiators appointed by former President Zelaya and his interim replacement Roberto Micheletti. Implementing in good faith these agreements is the key not just to bringing back into the political system the groups that felt aggrieved by the interruption of Zelaya's term, but to normalizing Honduras' relations with the rest of the world.
President Lobo's record of implementing these agreements is mixed. He made a commendable effort to integrate a national unity government and played a decisive role in pressing for a controversial but necessary amnesty for political offenses. Another key clause of the agreements, i.e. installing a Truth Commission to inquire into the events before and after June 28 has proved more problematic, however. The concern here is the adamant opposition from very influential right wing sectors, closely linked to Micheletti, to allowing the Commission to investigate the human rights abuses that took place after June 28. These abuses have been documented and denounced by the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights (IACHR), among many organizations. As late as February of 2010, after the swearing in of the new government, the IACHR identified at least 50 cases of illegal detention, 8 cases of torture, 2 kidnappings and 2 rapes perpetrated against journalists, trade union leaders and members of groups supportive of former President Zelaya. Despite his genuine support for the Commission, President Lobo has not dispelled the doubts about its mandate.
There is no justification for leaving Human Rights abuses outside the Truth Commission's purview. It is serious enough that some of these abuses may go unpunished by cloaking them under the figure of "abuse of authority" covered by the amnesty voted by Honduras's Congress. But at the very least these violations must not be hidden behind a wall of secrecy. The current reluctance from very influential political actors in Honduras to accept the natural mandate of the Truth Commission is a deviation from the spirit and the letter of the San Jose/Tegucigalpa agreements, and, as such, must be rebuked by the international community.
There is no doubt that when the U.S. decided to recognize the November 2009 election, it forewent much of its power to nudge Honduran political actors towards dealing with the task of reconciling their country. One important lever does remain, however. The stand-by agreement that, very likely, will be negotiated in the next few weeks between the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Government of Honduras presents an interesting opportunity. If signed, this agreement would ease Honduras's access to external credit and its path to economic recovery. It is desirable that the U.S., as well as the European Union member states, use their leverage in the IMF to block any agreement until the Truth Commission is guaranteed an untrammeled mandate to inquire on the events leading up and following June 28, including the human rights abuses perpetrated after that date. No normalization of economic links should take place until the Honduran authorities explicitly guarantee the full cooperation of their state with the Commission's work.
This would be a major and timely contribution to Honduras' long-term political health by the U.S. and the international community. Proclaiming that the crisis is over is simply a poor service to the Honduran people and an invitation for future democratic breakdowns and human rights transgressions.

When Rami Levy opened in Gush Etzion, most people were concerned about the effect it would have on local groceries. Only a small handful of very sheltered individuals expressed concern about "romances." Most of the Palestinian shoppers come as whole families, which leads to friendly interactions with Jewish shoppers, and the opportunity for each side to see the other simply as human beings. It has happened to me more than once that Arabs who can't read the Hebrew labels on products have asked me (with a smile) in English or in Hebrew to explain it to them. This simple and friendly interaction can only help lessen the mutual fears and suspicions of both sides.

2012 will go down as a year of winners and losers.
OPINION: Among the winners - or so I thought - were clients of David Ross. The last time we met was in April last year at a Diligent briefing hosted by its New York-based executives who said the IT company was on the brink of considerable success and its products were in strong demand by US company directors, facilitating board meetings with one another.
The shares were then 80c but had rocketed to $5.52 on Friday.
Ross, in his characteristic low-key way, seemed enthused.
The share price jumped after that meeting, rising 530 per cent since then. I assumed the Ross funds had been active buyers.
Had he invested say $10 million of his clients' $450m in Diligent, it would have been worth about $67m on Friday, though it's possible these shares were sold to pay investors who wanted their money out.
Ross was regarded as a successful stock picker, specialising in buying Canadian and Aussie penny dreadful oil, mining and gold stocks. These can produce handsome rewards.
Unfortunately, since 2007 there has been a much reduced appetite for such speculative stocks and big wins would have been rare.
An as example, shareholders in Central Otago miner Glass Earth - which had a good story to tell when it was floated - have rushed to accept a takeover offer from founder Geoff Louden much lower than the original issue price.
This is not to say the appetite for risking one's money has disappeared. Diligent was a penny dreadful in early 2009 when it was selling at seven cents. One sizeable holder believes they will be taken over next year.
A research note from FNZC says it is a cash cow, raising their target price from $4 to $6.70.
Xero was another winner, with its share price rocketing 179 per cent this year to $7.60 on Friday, backed by sizeable injections of offshore capital. I found the annual meeting an eye-opener: it was crowded with enthusiastic shareholders who dwelt on every word of Rod Drury and other executives, in an atmosphere reminiscent of Brierley Investments meetings 25 years ago. Unusually, its shareholders don't want dividends but are happy for their capital to be spent growing the company - and its large Wellington workforce - to make it into a world force in accounting software.
Last December when Trade Me listed, customers who had made 500 trades were given a prior right to buy shares at $2.70. Being by their nature traders, I wondered how long they'd be able to resist the temptation to sell at the first scent of a profit. Had they hung on, they would have done well and become stakeholders in what has become a major trans-Tasman company. Trade Me also has a scent of takeover about it.
Alternatively, freed from the shackles of cash-strapped Fairfax, Trade Me could expand, possibly across the Tasman where most of its shareholders live. Its trading model has achieved far deeper penetration of the Kiwi market than big brother EbayAustralia, in which Aussies can't invest.
Many existing Kiwi Trade Me shareholders would have been disappointed that the brokers handling the sale of the last tranche of Fairfax shares sold mainly to Australian institutions.
Normally a share price drifts back after a hefty placement, allowing small investors to buy extra shares at about the same price. This hasn't happened so far, indicating strong continuing Australian support for the company. It is a pity Trade Me has joined the long list of companies that earns all its money here but much of its profits will go overseas.
There should have been no surprise that such a large percentage of units in Fonterra ended up mainly in Australian and also Asian hands.
As pointed out in this column, before the float details were revealed, this seemed highly probable as Fonterra's offshore advisers were whipping up overseas interest at a series of roadshows. It has never been satisfactorily explained why the stock was placed this way. It was a relatively small $525m issue that the equity and bond-starved Kiwi investment market could easily have absorbed: though it is unlikely the shares would have risen so far and fast without international buying support.
Many would-be Kiwi investors must be regretting their decision to turn down entitlements for Fonterra units. They were miffed their requests for sizeable parcels were so drastically scaled back by local brokers, who in turn were given far fewer shares to on-sell than they wanted.
Among these was the investor who told the media he'd rejected an offer of $10,000 worth when he wanted a $50,000 parcel.
A profit is always a profit, and the 1818 shares he would have got for $10,000 are now worth $13,000.
A 30 per cent gain in three weeks isn't to be sniffed at.
2012 losers included SkyTV, Chorus and Telecom whose share prices slipped sharply under the shadow of the regulators, though they picked up somewhat late last week. The Government may be unduly optimistic if it plans partial floats of all three energy companies next year, while investors may be wary of investing in a sector that can be subject to regulatory oversight.
Overall 2012 has been a rewarding year for many Kiwi equity investors.
Next year may be equally as satisfying, as the international outlook is expected to improve and interest rates to remain low.

Who dat feeling sports pride?
I never wear clothing with sports logos. Ever. Well, until this week, in New Orleans, I wore a "Geaux Saints" T-shirt, and you know what? It was so fun to wear.
I love gabbing briefly with strangers, making connections with passersby, having a shared moment with a new smiling face – and there were so many of those moments – just because of the silly shirt.
Some of these high points included a huge grin and an "a'right?!" from an elderly gentleman in a Santa hat, a high-five from a server at a Royal Street cafe and a "dem Saints!" from my hotel's bellman.
On a side note, New Orleans has a unique source for their team pride. The Saints' 2009 Superbowl win gave residents a distraction from the lingering aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the chance to rally together in "Who Dat" glory. The city needed that win.
And this week, while I had the pleasure of celebrating Christmas in the French Quarter, it was just so interesting for me to get a taste of the deep-rooted NOLA unity among residents as well as the camaraderie that goes along with supporting a sports team in general.
Don't get me wrong: I am always pulling for Milwaukee teams in a somewhat deeper way. I always want them to fare well because it makes people around me so dang happy and because it's good for the city. Plus, my father was a huge Brewers fan and I have many, many fond memories of County Stadium and Miller Park.
I've just never been a diehard or enough of a diehard to adorn my body with a sports logo.
And despite my positive Saints-related interactions this week, I don't plan to run out and buy Packers or Brewers garb. I was, however, genuinely happy to experience a sliver of fandom that y'all have told me about for decades.

Op-Ed: James Holmes — Mental illness? Really?
Sherene Chen-See
Jul 23, 2012 in
One speculation I keep hearing about James Holmes, the "Colorado shooter," is that maybe he was depressed because he couldn't find a job after getting his first degree and this somehow led to his downward spiral. This explanation makes no sense to me.
I know times are hard for recent university grads. But, as a science grad with friends who've graduated in neuroscience, I know that no one with a BSc in that field thinks they will get a relevant job unless they get a higher education. To make it in neuroscience, you must get a PhD. James Holmes, intelligent as he is, undoubtedly knew this. To say he was depressed because he couldn't get a job with just a BSc or MSc in neuroscience truly does not make sense.
Other ideas I've heard include: he went crazy because of pressure from his PhD program, or maybe there was pressure from his parents or a falling out with faculty at the school. These all seem somewhat legitimate reasons to drop out and go berserk. However, if that were the case, wouldn't he direct his anger toward the people who were upsetting him, or perhaps direct the anger inwards toward himself? Why would he shoot up a movie theatre full of Batman fans instead of, say, his university?
Some have called him
, but generally people with psychoses, such as schizophrenia, are not able to focus long enough to pull together an elaborate set up like the one Holmes concocted. Holmes' movie rampage was well planned and involved military tactics to smoke out victims hiding under the seats so he could continue shooting them. At the same time, his apartment was rigged with around 30 explosives, with military-style precision.
Others have called him psychopathic, which is where a person has no
for others. Examples would include unabomber Ted Kasynski and serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. But if this is the case, why did Holmes volunteer at a camp for underprivileged kids? Why did he study mental disorders? These seem like odd choices for someone who just doesn't care about others.
Another suggestion is a brain tumour but if this is the case, wouldn't there be other signs? Charles Whitman, for example (who in 1966
his mother, wife, and 14 others), had an altered mental state that was later found to be caused by a brain tumour, but he also complained of headaches in the days and weeks leading up to the crimes.
Why are we jumping to conclusions that it's mental illness, anyway? Why are we thinking this tragedy could have been prevented if Holmes had better access to mental health care? Do we really think he would have been more likely to seek mental health services if he'd had better access? Holmes was already well aware of the criteria for diagnosis of numerous mental illnesses. For that matter, do we think one of the many people who said he was 'just a normal guy' would suddenly say 'hey, he died his hair red and dropped out of grad school, therefore I must call the mental health authorities?'
When I first saw Holmes' photo and heard his name, I breathed a sign of relief that he is not middle eastern or black. Because then we would be labelling him a 'terrorist' and the backlash would be HUGE; or we would label him a 'gang member' and the ignorant folks would have a lot to say. The fact is, this is American-grown terrorism and Holmes no doubt has a point to his seeming 'madness.'

Rays fans have gotten in touch with their inner cowbell, so it's something that you just have to deal with at Tropicana Field.
And, in this post-World Cup period, many fans have blown vuvuzelas during the games here.
Today is a day game, so the local Parks and Rec have busloads of children pouring into the stadium.
And those kids have brought Thunderstixx.
(frustrated grunt!)
There are many people here who didn't leave the park until 12:30 am and are back early. I don't know about you, but I can't go right to sleep after deadline. I got back to the hotel, surfed the net and went to sleep at 2 a.m. I woke up at 6:30 this morning. Hit the snooze bar once.
I arrived at the park at 8:30. The clubhouse opened at 8:40. I went down at 9 a.m. And only three players had arrived. At 9:10, the coaching staff rolled in, followed by players, Now we have to prepare for this cacophony.
Reliever Jon Rauch, who changed into baseball clothes - then changed back into civilian clothes, He still has blisters and left the park to see another doctor.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire shocked us by announcing that Rauch has hand, foot and mouth disease. The plan is for him to travel with the team to Cleveland, but it's unknown when he'll be available to pitch with those blisters on his hands.
If you want to read about HFMD.....here.

If you don't already know, Squinkies are tiny, soft and squishy characters that come in a surprise toy bubble, which were first popularized by the capsule vending machines you see in such places as grocery stores. Squinkies have been very popular since they were first introduced in 2010. Now their world is expanding with new Squinkies featuring favorite wrestlers. There are three series of WWE Squinkies bubble packs. Wrestlers include The Rock, John Cena, Kofi Kingston, Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and more. Each bubble pack comes with 12 Squinkies, including three mystery Squinkies, and bubble capsules. Each bubble pack is sold separately.
These squishy wrestlers are so cute and tiny that kids just love collecting them. The new character-driven Squinkies will really appeal to fans of WWE. It's fun to see favorite muscled wrestlers in a very miniature size.
WWE Squinkies are for ages 4 and up.
Squinkies are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Because of their size, they are not for children under 3. Make sure to keep Squinkies out of reach of younger siblings.

BEIRUT More than 115,000 people have been killed in Syria's two-and-a-half-year-old civil war, including tens of thousands of soldiers, rebels and civilians, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Tuesday.
The figure suggested that around 5,000 people had died in September alone and that the bloodshed has not been slowed by an international deal for the elimination of Syria's chemical weapons after an August 21 sarin gas attack in the Damascus area.
The British-based Observatory, which monitors violence through a network of activists, medical and military sources around Syria, said about 47,000 soldiers and militia fighters loyal to President Bashar al-Assad had been killed.
Rebel fighters, including army defectors, accounted for around 23,000 of the dead, the Observatory said.
More than 41,000 civilians have been killed, including 6,000 children and 4,000 women. The toll includes 3,000 unidentified people, according to the Observatory which says it documents deaths by obtaining film and photographs of bodies and seeking to confirm identities through family, medics and activists.
