Not all the stories of the Gold Rush days were of grief and disappointment. There was romance, too.
Cora Reed's husband died two weeks before the wagon train started West. She didn't know what to do. If she stayed she would be all alone because her daughter and her family were part of the party going in search of treasure. Finally, they persuaded her to go with them.
She had a good team and wagon and insisted that she would drive it herself because she was used to animals. By the time they had reached Leavenworth, Job Witherspoon, a widower, had appointed himself as Cora's guardian, and he helped her with her team in all the hard places. Long before they had reached the gold fields, they had decided to marry.
"But, Ma, you don't know much about him," objected Cora's daughter.
"I know that any man as nice to young-uns as that man is will be good to a wife," Cora replied.
"Pa, how in the world will you find work enough to take care of a woman?" Job's daughter asked.
"I've noticed," said Job, "that if a body isn't a'feered of work, they generally can find something to do!"
When they realized how determined Job and Cora were, all the members of the wagon train decided to give them a "commencement party." That's not what it sounds like. It was the name for a pioneer wedding shower.
Each family checked and rechecked possessions to see what they could find to give the bridal couple. There was much speculation as to whether or not there would be a preacher to do the marrying at the mining camp. Some trappers passing on the trail stopped to visit and assured them that the camp had a preacher, one who had been quoted as saying, "There's enough sin in this camp to keep one preacher busy the rest of his life."
Cora Reed was a very hospitable woman and it disturbed her that she couldn't have plenty of refreshments for the friends who were giving the commencement party for her. It was near the end of the journey and supplies were low. She knew she didn't have the ingredietns to bake cakes.
All of the women got together and pooled their supplies. The dried apples they had brought from home came in handy. They chopped and cooked them and used them in a sort of spiced cookie. By scraping together all the supplies they could possibly spare, they figured they would have enough to make two cookies for each person at the commencement party.
That evening there was a good bit of "joshing," and then they sang and danced. Each person had concocted a gift of some kind. One woman made an apron from some material she had brought with her. Cora had started out with her best dishes, but her wagon had toppled over on a rough stretch of trail and every dish had been broken or cracked. Other women gave her some of their dishes for wedding presents.
The men got together and divided their tools with Job because he was handy with them and doing carpenter work might help him support a wife when they got to their new home. It was amazing to see the gifts that came from the various wagons and what a good showing they made. The commencement party gave Job and Cora a rosy start into their new adventure.

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then CAPPER's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from CAPPER's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

If you're like us, you totally fell victim to this past year's leather craze. With fall and winter both behind us (phew) it's only safe to assume that our newly broken in leather finds are due to be packed away for a cooler day, right? Wrong! Leather for summer is on-trend and the options are endless.
For the office or a night on the town, leather is perfect for adding a necessary dose of edge to an otherwise simple outfit. At Toronto's NXNE, we saw festivalgoers hike up the hemline with summer-appropriate leather shorts, and at Coachella, with daring leather mini skirts. At New York's Governor's Ball, leather vests were spotted, adding flare to laid back concert-ready ensembles. Bored of black? Dip into a bold colour palette with a bright red leather mini as Karlie Kloss so effortlessly pulled off, or a turquoise leather halter as Salma Hayek was spotted in.
Still skeptical of how to pull of leather for summer? We've asked our Style Panel for tips and tricks on how to rock leather in the warmest weather.
According to Over My Styled Body's Lyndsey Forest, the trick for keeping cool while adding leather to your outfit is to choose the right colour and form. Velvet and Vino's Becky Kung is also a firm believer in leather for summer, and recommends pairing a light leather jacket with a summer dress on a cool summer night to add the perfect amount of spark to your look. Canadian Fashionista's Amber Desilets deems the leather vest the perfect investment piece. For a summertime date night she pairs her vest with a tank top, boyfriend jeans and strappy sandals.
Question 58: How do you wear leather for summer? Read the answers now!

The Marlow Municipal Authority approved substation repairs and, if all goes according to plan, there will be no power outage as repairs are made.
At a special meeting Tuesday, the authority agreed to purchase a new load tap charger (LTC) retrofit for the current transformer. The LTC has been the cause of the city's power problems and it functions to keep power at a steady output as the demand varies.
The cost of the LTC is $34,350, but the city will also pay Southwest Electric $18,800 for labor to remove and install the LTC and $4,320 for transformer oil.
Trustees also approved the lease of a mobile substation from the Grand River Dam Authority. The 10-day lease will cost $43,000, but Cain said the work should be done in three days. Switching from the current transformer to the mobile one should not cause an outage according to Cain.
The mobile substation is expected to arrive on Monday and the city's power should transition over to it by late afternoons so repairs can start on the existing transformer.
The municipal authority also approved the purchase of a transformer from Southwest Electric for future use in substation upgrades.
"This transformer will meet the need of the design process of the substation and it is a popular size transformer," Cain said.
The rebuilt transformer costs $450,000 compared to more than $600,000 for a new one. The cost does not include transportation or labor to install the transformer.
Cain had urged the municipal authority to act quickly because the transformer deal was only available until Thursday.
"Ontario, Canada wanted it and they offered more money for it, but they are honoring the deal they made with us," Cain said.
It was noted this is just the beginning of getting a new substation in the city and the total cost is expected to be approximately $2 million.

Air-to-Air Combat Training … On the Ground
When Royal Saudi Air Force pilots go through initial qualification training on the F-15SA, they will practice air-to-air combat, air-to-surface missions, air combat maneuvers and tactical intercepts.
But they won't need an aircraft to hone their skills. Instead, the pilots will train virtually in a realistic ground-based training environment.
Recently, Lockheed Martin received a $253 million contract agreement to begin work on pilot and maintenance training systems for Saudi Arabia's F-15SA modernization program.
Lockheed Martin will deliver 360-degree full mission trainers that, as a first for F-15 training, feature a single dome over the dual-seat cockpit to enable crew coordination training. Lockheed Martin will also deliver egress, avionics and desktop trainers for procedure training by pilots.
"The complement of F-15SA training systems starts with desktop trainers and progressively increases in capability to full mission weapons systems trainers," said Jim Weitzel, vice president of training solutions for Lockheed Martin. "This creates a cost-effective program since the appropriate level of technology is applied to meet the training objectives."
For maintainers, Lockheed Martin will provide virtual systems to enable training without the actual aircraft. The systems include basic maintenance, armament, landing gear and resting hook, flight controls and jet fuel starter trainers.
Lockheed Martin will begin upgrading F-15S full mission trainers to the F-15SA configuration this year with delivery planned in 2014. The delivery of three new F-15SA full mission trainers will be completed by 2020.
Lockheed Martin has served as the Royal Saudi Air Force's F-15 training partner for more than three decades. The company also provides the service's weapons systems officer training program.
In addition to delivering training systems to Saudi Arabia, Lockheed Martin's F-15 training technologies are currently in operation by the United States, Israel and Japan.

Here's how to make your marriage last, long after you've traded "I dos."
In our continuing search for great marriages around the world, we journeyed to the beautiful country of New Zealand. Our interviews with happily married couples took us to the cities of Auckland, Wellington, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Wanaka, Arrowtown and Glenorchy. We flew in a twin-engine plane over Milford Sound, rode a boat on gorgeous glacier lakes, drove a Jeep down country roads in search of great marriages throughout New Zealand. This current research excursion of ours will have covered nearly 18,000 miles by the time we arrive home. Does jet-lag come to mind?
While we interviewed a number of long-time couples in New Zealand (both married and unmarried), there are two that stand out the most. Allow us to share the marriage advice we learned from two sets of lovebirds (both married for over 60 years) — Hank and Hanny, and Harold and Dorothy. In interviewing these two couples, we found that their advice for a successful marriage echoed each other! We never cease to be amazed at just how universal marriage advice is, whether from couples in New Zealand or the United States. There is almost a mystical consistency to the messages we hear.
So, here in a nutshell are the five ingredients of a successful marriage as shared with us by Hank and Hanny, Harold and Dorothy, and all those other couples we interviewed.
1. Trust is at the heart of a great marriage. Trust is built over time. In the best marriages, trust grows and is never diminished. There is no cheating, dishonesty or infidelity in great marriages and relationships. And to those who say that you can repair your loving relationship after one partner violates the most basic trust — all we can say is, you risk joining the ranks of those couples who got divorced!
2. A successful marriage is easy to understand ... but difficult to put into practice. Marriage is not for the faint of heart. A successful marriage takes hard work: be kind, show respect, engage in simple acts and loving gestures. In the end, a successful marriage is an accumulation of having done the simple things. Never, ever be lulled into thinking you can take your marriage for granted. Work to make it work everyday of your lives together.

OK, I just had to do it
I took a picture with my cellphone and then immediately followed it up with the Canon.
I still can't believe the difference
So here we have a side by side comparison. You can somewhat see what I hoped to demonstrate in the small pictures on the blog. You need to click them to download the full size picture, then click that to get the full effect. Talk about poles apart from one another
I used my cellphone for the first picture just like I've done for quite a while now. Nice picture, but still a bit fuzzy around the edges.
The next two pictures came from the new Canon.
Notice the sharpness of the light over the freeway in the center of the frame. Heck, the whole thing looks better!
And then I saw the moon and knew I had to try this I zoomed in as far as I could and took the picture. Then I cropped out just the moon itself. Notice the detail in the craters. It would have come out better had a very fine layer of clouds not softened the image
Yeah, I think I like it
I ain't gonna sugar coat it. The cellphone pictures surprised me with their quality and I consider them pretty darn good for a cellphone. But they don't hold a candle to a proper camera.
My Sanyo lasted for over two years, but the particles of something unknown between the lens elements finally did it in. It would have cost much more to fix it than it would cost to buy a new camera.
I looked at quite a few and though I'm on a lean budget, the new models of my old Sanyo appear to have drawn some criticism. Minor things like "lens error" cropping up shortly outside of the 90 day warranty that would cost more to fix… Well, you get the idea. I don't think so. Thanks anyway.
One of the things I dearly missed on digital cameras I've had since my first one has been a real optical viewfinder. Shooting in burst mode, you have no idea where the subject will appear when the exposures finish because the screen has gone black. Likewise, some lighting conditions can cause the screen to become unreadable.
I already have a supply of rechargeable AA batteries and I insist that my digital camera run on these. They're everywhere if you need one. They're cheap. They're dependable. I refuse to buy one of the cameras out there that take some weird, proprietary battery pack. I just know it would end up biting me in the @$$.
I also have a few different SD memory cards. Some of the cameras out there take other types. I really don't want to have to worry about buying more memory cards.
I finally decided on the Canon PowerShot A1000 IS.
I might be eating cup of noodles for a while, but I don't think I'll mind too much
So how do the pictures look? Here ya go
And here you go – the beast as seen on Canon's product web page. It comes in several colors, but they only had grey in stock and I didn't mind. Of course, taking 4MB pictures will tend to fill up the included 32MB card in a hurry, but like I said I already have cards.
I really like that it only takes about one second from the time you hit the power button until you can take a picture. The old Sanyo took a good five or six seconds and if you get caught unaware by a surprise opportunity for a great picture this could lead to a tragic loss of the shot.
So without further ado, I present for your evaluation the first picture from my new camera to go public
Yes, I took it by sticking the camera out the driver's window while going down the road. Yes, I was smart enough to keep the strap around my wrist :P: I had to rotate it to get it level and crop it to get it square again, but I can still only describe it as FREAKING HUGE Of course, you have to click on the picture to see that full size version
Check out the full size version of all three pictures. Go ahead, as long as you have a high speed connection. Once the picture is displayed after you've clicked on it, click it again to see it truly full size. I really can't believe the detail and contrast. Shadows cast by clouds in the humid air below them show clearly whereas the cellphone could not capture them.
And now for the last pic of the day. You've seen similar scenes looking west on Smoke Ranch, but not this rich in detail
I can't wait until I have the chance to give this camera a real workout
Today was not a day I sat idle in my apartment. I didn't sequester myself while trying to hide or deal with the change of moving and of missing someone. I got out and took care of business
Rent & Utilities: Paid – all $750 of it
With business out of the way, I decided to see if I could get rained on and feel some cool air that didn't come from an air conditioner. Air cooled by Nature. Air with humidity!
I should probably add the fact that for some unknown reason, I have fallen into an "artsy" mood tonight. This means my writing might just differ a wee bit from what most people have seen in the past Possible causal factors include the three hours of sleep last night, the overdose of Diet Rock Star, the stress from the last week at work, or the release of the stress and worry about my ability to pay my bills – especially my car's registration! Of course, the music selections for blogging tonight could have something to do with it, too:
Hilary Duff – Fly
There's probably more, but that's a good start
With that out of the way, on to the pictures and stuff
I can't fault the landscaping of the "patio" or whatever you want to call it. I find it classy and fitting for the location
I present you with the ticket which served as my place in line at the DMV. Note the number – G549. Note also the time at which this ticket was issued – 1:27 PM. A computerized voice announces your number when your time has come to finally do what you've come to do and your ticket number flashes on a board along with the desk number you've been assigned. As I entered the Hall of Eternal Waiting, I heard a number announced – G420. I might add that it took 20 minutes in line just to have G549 assigned.
Have you ever seen Beetlejuice? you know – the movie with Michael Keaton and the dead people? Remember that part where he has to wait in a small room with a witch doctor after the sand worm on Saturn ate him? Go here for the video and skip to 1:47 in the clip. That shows about how I felt right then. No, I didn't steal someone else's ticket, but the thought did cross my mind for a few milliseconds. Kind of like Data contemplating the Borg Queen's offer in Star Trek First Contact. But I digress…
The computer finally summoned me to desk nine at about 1448 hours – an hour and twenty-one minutes later. Total time to this point: one hour and forty-one minutes. I exited the place of Demented Maniacal Villains (DMV) at about 1515 hours. Total time in that place: one hour and forty-eight minutes.
Sure, the agent who helped me demonstrated good cheer, a sense of humor, and real empathy, but after an hour and forty-eight minutes, I wouldn't mind never having to return
Having left the Place of Suffering with my bank account holding considerably less money, I headed west on the 215 beltway. Looking into the distance, my plan of heading home suddenly changed – the storm on the mountain called to me, bade me to come up to the thin air and cool dampness.
Ninety-two degrees. I've somehow become accustomed to this. It has become normal. The memories of San Diego beach weather may have faded somewhat, but they still live on. I may have come to consider Las Vegas weather to be normal, but that still does not make it the greatest I've known.
I speed closer to the storm on the mountain. I worry that I might not make it in time to feel the rain.
I cannot see the mountain top, but that which obscures it holds the promise of salvation from the oppressive grip of the desert heat and desiccation.
Someone indeed painted the sky with clouds today. And what an artist! Puffy here, wispy there, never the same from place to place.
I can recall a time long ago, many years ago, when eighty six degrees marked the high temperature on a warm day in Poway, California. I find the fact that this now feels cool somewhat dispiriting. I continued on…
Indeed, the joshua trees and shrubs thirst for rain as do the arid soil and the animals. They guard their moisture well for they know not when to expect more.
Only the hearty survivors carve out a niche in this climate and few of those can thrive and grow like those joshua trees. Their size belies the difficulty of their existence and the time they take to become so large.
The flora and fauna of this region may have adapted to the desert climate, but I suspect they welcome the temporary cooling shade of the clouds as I do.
Climbing higher with the road, I feel my ears begin to pop as I pass five thousand feet elevation above sea level. Trevor continues to carry me on with not a hint of protest.
Nearing the mountain, I can clearly see the precipitation meeting the topology. I only hope I arrive in time to experience that myself.
Sixty-three degrees. A common temperature in San Diego, especially near the coast, I considered this normal and perfect for shorts and flip-flops. Amazing what four years in the desert can change.
I made it! The heavy rain has passed, but the sprinkles remain. I hold my hand outstretched through the open driver's window to enjoy the feeling of water meeting skin.
The rain has also released the scent from the pine and fir tree forest. A hint of vanilla from the ponderosas mingles with the fresh scent from the fir trees which remind me of the smell a Christmas tree brings into a home. Somewhere someone has started a fire in their home's fireplace – I smell the telltale smoke lingering on the breeze.
And just look at what I see up on the higher elevations – new snow! May has nearly passed and June arrives on Monday, but on this Saturday I'm treated to the sight of new snow so near to Las Vegas!
These are just three of my favorite things – Mountain air, rain, and Trevor.
What a difference fifty-three minutes can make! Only fifty-three minutes elapsed between the time the photograph above showing ninety-two degrees was captured and when this picture was made. Fifty-three minutes to drop forty-seven degrees. And that included stopping for soda and snacks! Such an incredible change. I sweat on the desert floor to keep cool whereas I shiver up here to keep warm. The dusty calefaction below sucks the moisture from my body without delay, but the saturated chill up here causes my breath to condense.
Fifty-three minutes!!!
Such a rare sight where I live now and where I have lived before, the rain water on the ground reflects an image of what lies above it.
I do my best to appreciate the sensations around me at any given moment, especially when they reach extremes. I can savor the seething, melting heat of summer and truly enjoy it at times. We all only get one shot at life and while we will encounter extremes, I feel few ever take the chance to soak them up. I kept my hand outside the driver's window up on top of the mountain to feel the numbing bite of the cold soaking into my skin.
Moderation still rules when partaking of extremes. Heat exhaustion, heat stroke, hypothermia, and in extreme cases frostbite can result from ignoring moderation. You don't always get the benefit of moderation around here when it comes to outside temperature, so you must use some common sense. Consider it similar to alcohol – a glass of wine won't hurt anything, but drinking a whole bottle of whiskey will likely land you in the emergency room.
The Mojave has no thermostat accessible to we mere mortals, thus we broil for months on end. Yes, we have air conditioning to cool our homes and businesses, but it just doesn't feel the same. It feels artificial. Manufactured. Harsh. Forced. It smells of nothing. It looks no different.
By contrast, the chilled air of the high mountains in the shade of storm clouds feels organic. Natural. Soft if still somewhat biting. Free. It carries wonderful scents which stimulate the mind and memories. It looks completely different from the rocky wasteland of the desert.
I revel in the embrace of the wintry breeze, the aroma of sodden forest, the delectable sting of small rain drops meeting my face, the sight of the rock faces as they stand freshly dusted with a light blanket of snow.
Puddles and saturated ground stretch out in every direction. Frowned upon by concerned citizens in the desert when caused by carelessness due to the scarcity of this essential resource, Nature has distributed water liberally today on the mountain.
The weather vane and anemometer atop this weather station gather sterile scientific data about the dynamic environment in Kyle Canyon.
From its perch on the mountain, this automated, solar powered weather station transmits its collected observations to the National Weather Service. Fools such as myself can find this data on their web page. We use this information to tell ourselves what the weather up on Mt. Charleston does at any given time. We usually compare this information with our local observations and express envy during the warm season for anyone who might have the luck or intelligence to escape our situation and head up there instead of staying here.
At first glance, the raindrops on Trevor's hood almost appear to resemble beads of sweat. Of course Trevor doesn't sweat, but I still laughed to myself.
I just have to show her off in this picture. Cardinal Red Metallic paint contrasts so well against the green of the foliage and the brown of the earth, yet it still seems to fit in. And of course, she just looks darn good. Classic even.
Back down on the desert floor, we can see another island of rain on a distant mountain. Sights such as this still stir something in me as they look so unnatural and yet so natural at the same time. Random blessings of life sustaining water deposited in small spots and trails across vast expanses, bringing relief. Yet at the same time most of the area goes without.
Finally back home, I set the parking brake and prepare to leave Trevor under the cover of the awning. I take one last look at the outside temperature. Ninety-five degrees. Only one hour and twenty-two minutes since the picture of Trevor and the trees. Only eighty-two minutes since I felt the caress of a cool mountain breeze, I step out of my car and back into the embrace of the summer warmth.
You might recognize this picture from above – the picture with the caption about the shadow on the joshua trees. I adjusted a few things to make a somewhat mundane and very terrestrial scene appear alien. I think it expresses the contrasts so commonly found in this region. A short trip can seem to take you to a different world
I hope you have enjoyed this post and the slightly different feel I sought to bring to it.
Have a wonderful day
I'm off to bed, finally
Here's one from my parking lot at work
Landscaping around Las Vegas has to be "drought resistant" and conserve water. These two plants do that nicely.
I noticed something when I got out of my car yesterday – the rosemary was much more fragrant than usual. I don't know why, but it was. You couldn't help but notice it.
Also, what would the reaction in the media and by politicians be?
I'm talking about this little gem:
Uh huh. Yeah. I think we'd be looking at something just a bit different from the media and the ruling class. I'd be willing to bet my Steyr M95 that Sarah Brady and the Violence Policy Center would be foaming at the mouth right about now. Dianne Feinstein, Henry Waxman, and Carolyn McCarthy would pontificate for the cameras.
But not this time. It was government officials this time.
I know the reactor wasn't in any danger. You'd need a lot more firepower than what these guys had to dent a reactor. I also happen to think that this is a pretty decent place to put a police shooting range – away from civilians and secured. My problem is that people were in danger and aside from an "oops" and an investigation into which officers fired those rounds, it's going to go away. This investigation needs to look just a bit higher up the chain of command in my ever so humble opinion and it needs to look into how this could have happened in the first place.
Target ranges are places of strict rules for a reason. All muzzles are either pointed up or downrange. Even when you open the gun case – if the gun is pointing the wrong way in the case you close the case, turn it around, and open it again. Actions are open and magazines out when anyone is downrange. And you make darn sure that if a round goes over the impact berm it won't hit anything valuable. Like a nuclear power plant.
Police and military operators (and yes, some civilian organizations) have "shoot houses" where you go inside and shoot in any direction. The walls are bullet proof. The Navy has some of these that are open on top, but they're far enough away from anything that a stray round over the wall (while still being punishable) won't cause harm to anything. Like a nuclear power plant.
I'll be keeping an eye on this one, but think about this again – what would happen if it were your or me who fired those shots?
Found at Gun Rights 4 US
The aircraft you see being shot down are unmanned QF-4 drones. They've been modified for unmanned flight so that missiles can be properly tested and pilots can gain proficiency.
This has to be one of the best videos of its type I've ever seen
I've been keeping an eye on Obama's choice for the United States Supreme Court, but haven't said anything. I've just sat back and watched, trying to figure out what's what here.
After much observation I've come to the conclusion that Sotomayor is not the right person for this job.
Here's one of the things that lead me to that conclusion:
The other thing that this has cemented in my mind is that the Obama administration either really doesn't get it or doesn't care. You see, when it comes to Supreme Court justices, the words are all that matter. Remember Bill Clinton and "that depends on what the definition of 'is' is" – anyone?
This isn't just law we're dealing with, but interpreting the Constitution and communicating precisely what is meant. Poor word choices can have adverse consequences on a national scale.
This is by far not the only reason I don't support Sotomayor for the slot on the Supreme Court, but it's a big one.
I've gotten pretty good at snapping pictures with my cellphone while driving It ain't easy to get a picture of a car behind and to the left of you when you're about to turn left onto the freeway. And you're driving stick shift
Yes, safety does come first – I'd rather lose my phone on the road than crash, so I'm always prepared to abort the operation if needed

I had to get a picture of this truck – the flames just rule!
I also thought this would be an interesting comparison with the Jeep from yesterday since both were driven by girls
From the Washington Examiner:
Go and read the whole thing. Then decide if this is the government you want.
I can only barely begin to find the words to express my disgust at this. Government exists to protect the rights of the people. It does not exist for the purpose of enriching political party members. That's known as corruption. This reminds me of what I would expect in a two bit banana republic with a military junta or other strong man dictator in power. This is not the United States of America I know and love.
The funny thing about banana republics, military juntas, strong man dictatorships, and corrupt politicians is that they usually don't last all that long. Sure there have been exceptions, but over all what usually seems to happen is that either the people become disaffected and take up arms, the military becomes disaffected and takes up arms, or someone ambitious finds a way to topple the ruling regime. Occasionally someone with a conscience will do something to bring wrongs into the light. The point is that these governments don't last.
The last criminal act that would rise to this level that I can think of was Watergate. Remember Woodward and Bernstein? Anyone remember who "Deep Throat" turned out to be? That's right – "Deep Throat" was a Secret Service agent. His conscience guided him to make Watergate public via Woodward and Bernstein which lead to Richard M. Nixon becoming the first and only individual to resign from the office of President of the United States of America.
For recent examples of corrupt politicians falling from power in the U.S., see Kwame Kilpatrick, Rod Blagojevich, Jim McGreevy, and Eliot Spitzer.

Check out our review of the Acer Aspire R7 hybrid all-in-one and tablet.
After today's New York reveal, it appears that the Taiwanese computer company, Acer, is bound and determined to destroy how we think about traditional laptops. The company's new Aspire R7 moves the keyboard down and puts the touchpad on top – an interesting move that makes the mouse almost superfluous. It's almost a tablet and, kind of, a laptop. In fact, it could even be compared to Lenovo's bendable Yoga.
In the above video, we test out Acer's Frankenstein monster to see if the company's modifications work or just annoy.

'Ray Donovan' TV Recap: 'Housewarming'
Ray is on a mission to find out why the FBI is investing him and his crew. His search takes him to his source within the bureau, Frank, who is on Ray's payroll and is also a being blackmailed into being loyal to Ray. Ray kicks Frank into the water at the marina where Frank is fixing his boat, pressing Frank for details of the guy Mickey has been seen with. Frank reveals it's an agent named Ben Miller, but that he works alone and the bureau isn't involved in an investigation into Ray. But Frank warns Ray: "If you think he's after you, he probably is."
"Shut it down," demands Ray before helping Frank out of the water
"It doesn't work that way," Frank says.
When Ray gets home from the marina, Abby gives him the cold shoulder. Ray asks if he's done something specific and Abby presses him about the photos of the dead priest she saw in Ray's office, piecing together that it's probably the one who molested Bunchy.
Meanwhile, Bunchy is planning a housewarming party and the kids tell Ray they really want to go. He warns them to stay away and reminds Conor he is grounded. Still, Abby defies Ray and later accepts an invitation from Mickey to help Bunchy decorate. It seems every move Mickey makes is a shot at Ray. He only calls Abby to help Bunchy after Bunchy worries Ray will be angry about all the money he spent and says to Mickey, "Maybe you are a bad influence."
Ray's clean up of the week is a highly endorsed athlete who seems to be the victim of intentional pregnancies by random women. Ray's contact in the hotel calls Ray to tell him that there's a limo driver involved in the scam. It turns out he brings women to the athlete at the hotel. The women collect sperm, put it in a container and then on ice, arranging for the limo driver to make a quick pick-up in the hallway. On this day, though, Ray waits in the limo, and roughs up the driver before telling him his client is off limits. He retrieves the sample and leaves.
We see Ezra in the hospital prepping to have his brain tumor operated on, a procedure which will shrink it. He's freaking out; demanding to speak to Ray and eventually disappears from the hospital. Deb calls Ray frantic, but Ray calms her down and heads out to track him down. He finds Ezra wandering the streets in a hospital gown and gets him back to the hospital. He stays with Ezra while the doctors prep him. Ray expresses concern that they're not putting him under, but the doctor explains he needs to be awake for the surgery.
"Don't worry Raymond, I won't tell them anything."
After Abby buys and places lamps, bedding vases and other décor in Bunchy's new home, she has a heart to heart with Bunchy about his past with the priest and the fact that nobody is coming to his party that night. "He wants to come, Bunchy, we all do. Conor wouldn't shut up about it. It's not movie night, it's Mickey."
"I get punished," says Bunchy. "He thinks it's Mickey's fault I got molested."
Then he gets upset about his history. "He tried it on Terry, the priest. Terry broke his hand. Ray would have too. Why didn't I try to stop him? Maybe I wanted it to happen." He cries.
Abby said, "That's what monster's do."
Avi spends the morning tracking Ben Miller, and while Ben is at the diner eating breakfast, Avi very carefully drugs him. Later at work, the drug sinks in and Ben starts to have serious hallucinations. He leaves work, drives 3 miles an hour and gets pulled over by a cop on Ray's payroll, who videos the entire sobriety test, which Ben clearly fails. He takes him home and lets Ray know he's there. Avi and Ray are waiting for Ben in his basement, and explain to him they're now blackmailing him. They cut off a chunk of his hair and inform him it will test positive for LSD for years to come and they remind Ben they have a video. They give him and injection and tell him to call Ray when he comes down.
The party is in full swing at Bunchy's and while earlier Mickey had encouraged his son to stick to his sobriety, by evening, he's got coke out in the kitchen and is pouring the booze freely. Bunchy gets really wasted.
Marvin picks up Bridget and Conor and drives them over the party. Marvin is driving an expensive car. Mickey sees the kids pull up. He says, "Where did you get the chauffer?" Marvin says, "What? That's my car." Mickey says, "Well, you're still black, aren't ya?"
When the kids go into the house, Bunchy is so excited to see them, he picks Conor up, almost dropping him and starts to tell a vulgar joke Mickey told him previously. Mickey tries to intervene and get Bunchy to ease up. Frances is with Terry at the party, Terry setting aside what he learned about her days earlier. Terry won't dance and neither will Bridget so Frances and Marvin hit the dance floor while Terry and his niece share a warm moment on the couch.
Mickey arranges for Bunchy to go upstairs to his room with a prostitute, but in the middle of the act, Bunchy can only see the priest's face. He gets pretty violent and throws her out. Then, he sets a Boston Red Socks pennant hanging on the wall on fire, using lighter fluid to do so. He makes his way downstairs crying and Mickey runs upstairs to see what's happened. Bunchy throws everybody out.
Terry has to call Ray to explain that the kids are at the party and that there's been a fire. Ray races out of Ezra's hospital room to go get them. In one of the most intense scenes of the season, he pulls up to Bunchy's, grabs a very drunk Conor and shoves him in the car, buckling him into the back seat. Mickey jumps in, "Ray, Ray, take it easy. He didn't do nothing. He's just a little boy."
Terry and Frances are on the front lawn watching the scene unfold.
"Sorry I didn't go to more of your football games," Mickey says sarcastically.
Ray goes into his trunk and pulls a gun out and walks up to Mickey, pointing the gun at his head.
"You might have had the balls to put me away kid, but shoot me, I don't think so," says Mickey.
Ray hits him hard across the face with a gun instead, knocking him to the ground.
Terry is trying to calm Ray down, Conor jumps out of the car, and Bridget jumps out of Marvin's car where she's been watching the scene unfold. The kids look terrified, likely having not seen this side of Ray. Marvin drives away.
Ray puts the gun to the back of Mickey's head while Mickey lies on the ground. Bridget is screaming, begging her dad to stop.
Ray tells the kids to get in the car, but they don't move. He screams and tries to drag them. Terry intervenes and calms Ray down and tells him he's got to get out of there. There are distant sirens approaching. Terry promises to take the kids home.
Ray leaves, returning to Ezra's bedside. He's clearly shaken and upset. He gets a call from the FBI agent, who tells him he won't be blackmailed, and then hangs up.
Ezra wakes up to Ray looking troubled, almost crying. Ezra is very lucid for the first time in a long time. He presses Ray to talk about what is bothering him.
Ray lets out a big sigh. He says, "My father."
"He's been causing us trouble since he arrived. You'll handle it," says Ezra.
"No, I won't. It's over Ezra. He's working with the FBI."
"I see. Well, we're going to have to kill him."
"It's not that simple, he's still my father," says Ray
"So, who hates him more than we do?"
Ray looks pensive.
The show closes with a shot of James Woods, who plays Sully. He's watching TV with a woman and his dog, in a very middle class-looking home. They are laughing at a show they're watching.
What do you think will happen now that Mickey's rival Sully is in the picture? Leave your comments. Follow Stephanie Krikorian on Twitter @StephieKrik.

Huntsville, Alabama (July 6, 2007) On Wednesday, July 5, Huntsville Police responded to a call from a citizen about a suspicious fire in a vacant field behind Butler High School. Spokesman Wendell Johnson said when Police arrived; they found 33-year-old Jason E. Kelso, of Huntsville burning over 300 pounds of copper wire. The wire, valued at $5,500, was stolen over the July 4th holiday from a nearby business. As a result of the investigation, Kelso has been connected to 7 other cases involving copper thefts. Kelso was arrested and charged with Theft of Property 1st Degree and Possession of Burglary Tools. He was booked into the Madison County Jail. The investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected. Chief Henry Reyes commended Officers Sonny Sanders, Danny Whitt and Investigator Jerry Trew for a job well done.

Metropolitan Museum Returns Artifacts to Egypt
A bracelet and small bronze statue of a dog excavated from King Tut's tomb may be the latest antiquities to make a return trip to Egypt from New York City, but they are certainly not the first.
As The Journal reported earlier, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is sending back 19 items that were dug up from the famous pharaoh's grave and held by the museum for decades. The returns are the latest victory for Egypt's antiquities chief, Zahi Hawass, who has been on a crusade lobbying international museums to relinquish prized archeological artifacts, which he plans to display at a new national museum in Cairo.
Hawass, who has claimed to have retrieved more than 5,000 Egyptian antiquities in his career, called the latest return "a wonderful gesture" and praised the Met for its "ethical behavior." As The Journal profile makes clear, his campaign to retrieve Egyptian artifacts has put some of the world's most iconic relics in his cross-hairs: the Rosetta Stone (on display for more than 200 years in the British Museum) and the Zodiac of Dendera (housed in the Louvre in Paris).
The Met has cooperated with the Egyptian government before. Last year the museum returned a granite fragment inscribed with the name of an Egyptian ruler. The piece, which was on loan from a private owner, was discovered to have belonged to a larger shrine used to house a statue of a deity. The fragment was never displayed publicly. In 2001, the Met relinquished a 19th Dynasty relief showing the head of an Egyptian goddess that had been on loan from a private owner since 1996.
Other returns have included the Euphronios Krater (an ancient Greek vase) and the Hellenistic silver collection, an ancient set of 16 silver pieces that was smuggled out of Sicily. The Met has also returned works of art that were looted by the Nazis to their rightful owners.

The famous saying created by Mario Fenech when they would play him getting hit in the head by a mis-directed pass on the Footy Show each week. Basically it refers to an unusual happening or sight that the speaker is perplexed by. Since it was used so much it became a greeting of sorts where it was a lead in to a joke by the recipient. It gained international appeal as a greeting compliments of Contiki in 1998 across Europe for travellers from the States, Canada, Asia, Africa and South America.

It was a good year to be a Cincinnati Reds fan in 2010.
For the first time since 1995 the Reds made the playoffs after winning the National League Central Division title.
Such success has returned the Reds to prominence with the fan base, and for yet another year local fans will be given the opportunity to meet and greet the Reds as Cincinnati's Winter Caravan will make a stop at the Grand Central Mall in Vienna, W.Va. on Jan. 28.
The event will run from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 28, one day after making a stop at The Market on State in Athens from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 27.
This will be the fourth year that the Reds caravan has stopped in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
"I'm glad they've made a commitment to come over here," said local Reds fan Mike Wagner. "I think there are a lot of folks that travel from here over to there (Great American Ballpark)."
The northern leg of the Reds Winter Caravan tour will feature broadcaster Jeff Brantley, pitcher Travis Wood on Thursday and Friday's stops only, pitcher Homer Bailey on Saturday and Sunday's stops, and minor leaguer Todd Frazier and Mascot Rosie Red.
The biggest name to stop in Vienna, however, is none other than Reds manager Dusty Baker, who very nearly claimed the National League Manager of the Year award after leading the Reds to their first winning season since 1999.
Baker, in his third year as the Reds manager, guided the Reds to a 91 win season as they won the NL Central.
For his success this past season, when he finished just one point behind Padres manager Bud Black for NL Manager of the Year, Baker was rewarded with a two-year contract extension.
This will be Baker's second stop in the Mid-Ohio Valley as part of the Reds Winter Caravan.
Wagner got the opportunity to talk to Baker one-on-one at his last caravan stop, and walked away impressed by the Reds' skipper.
"Baker's real informative. When I talked to him, it's not that I tried to stump him or anything, but whatever you ask him there's not a hesitation," Wagner said. "He'll answer your questions. He has an answer, very knowledgeable."
Wood, a southpaw starting pitcher for the Reds, took a perfect game into the ninth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies in just his third career start last season as a rookie on July 10.
Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz doubled in the ninth to end Wood's bid at the perfect game, which he couldn't have gotten anyway as the game went extra innings with the Reds losing 1-0 in 11 innings.
During his rookie campaign Wood compiled a 5-4 record and a 3.51 ERA over 102.2 innings of work. He walked just 26 batters and struckout 86.
Of all the young Reds pitchers on the 2010 staff, Wood was the one who impressed Wagner the most and not just because of the bid for the perfect game.
"One thing I really like about Wood is he doesn't get rattled. He goes out there, he's cool, calm and collected. He throws strikes, puts the ball over the plate and makes them hit it," Wagner said.
While pitchers like Bailey, Mike Leake, Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto have been strong, Wood is the one Wagner feels has the best future ahead of him.
"If things pan out the way it looks, he'll be the next Don Gullet. If they don't trade him, if they can keep him and sign him and keep him healthy, he's going to give the Reds some quality wins over the next five years," Wagner said.
Bailey, who will not appear in Vienna, compiled a 4-3 record with a 4.46 ERA over 109.0 innings of work. Bailey walked 40 and struckout 100 batters this past season.
Frazier, a right-handed left fielder, is one of the Reds upcoming prospects but has yet to make his presence felt on the big stage.
This past season with the Louisville Bats, the Reds AAA affiliate, Frazier hit .258 in 480 at-bats over the course of 130 games.
Included in Frazier's stats were 17 home runs and 66 RBIs. He also had 14 stolen bases in 18 attempts while striking out 127 times and walking just 45.
Brantley, referred to often on Reds broadcasts as "The Cowboy", compiled a 43-46 record and a 3.39 ERA during his 14-year playing career and has been broadcasting with the Reds since 2007.
He began his broadcasting work on the Reds Radio Network alongside Marty Brennaman and Thom Brennaman as well as on the FSN Ohio broadcasts with Chris Welsh and George Grande.
Brantley's slow, easy to follow verbal delivery and his sense of humor has drawn comparisons to late Reds' radio broadcaster Joe Nuxhall, and his insightful observations on pitching have made him a popular guy on Reds broadcasts.
With an impressive group of Reds coming to town, the 2011 stop of the Reds Winter Caravan figures to be a popular draw for local fans.
"We'll probably even hit Athens the day before (the Vienna stop)," Wagner said. "I think the fan base is coming back, not only here, but they had a very nice crowd at Athens as well."
The site locations as well as the players and officials participating in the Reds Winter Caravan were announced to the media by e-mail on Tuesday.

As you continue to evolve your workflow inside of Adobe Illustrator, you may find that you need to get a hold of some tools a little bit more quickly, or that you might find that the panel arrangements just don't suit your eye for your particular workflow. In this movie, I am going to be exploring how to set up Illustrator for a web workflow environment. The first thing I am going to do is create a new document by going to File > New. And I'll just accept the defaults by hitting Enter or Return. It does not matter what size document I am working on; I just want to be able to see all of the active panels and tools here inside of the Illustrator environment.
Once I have this open, I am then going to come up here to the top-right corner and I am going to find the workspace jump menu. And as is the case with all of the Creative Suite applications, you have various workspaces that you are able to jump to from this menu. You can also go to the Window menu and choose Workspace and find one of the workspaces there. Now anytime I open up an application, whether it be Photoshop or Illustrator, for the first time, I always go through to see if they've added any workspaces so that I can then take those and use them as jumping-off points for my own personal workflow. In this case Illustrator does ship with a Web workspace.
And if I click on the Web workspace, it's going to create a lot of different things on my screen. For instance, you are going to notice that I get a lot of different icons here docked on the left-hand side. I also get access to my symbols and things like that. These are all things that Illustrator believes correspond to a web design workflow. So let's take a look at some of these and customize it a little bit to suit our needs. First up here, we have the Stroke, the Gradient, and of course the Transparency panel. These are all things that I need quick access to at all times. I don't want to find them over here in the tabs hidden, or have to go to the Window menu, so I am very comfortable with those being right there, very easily accessible.
Directly beneath that you are going to see some type options like Character and Paragraph, also the OpenType, which is also a great thing to have a hold of. So these three, those can stay right where they are. We have the Links panel. If you're going to be working with other documents like Photoshop documents, JPEGs, TIFFs, PNGs, whatever they might be from other applications, the Links panel is going to be an essential part of your workflow, so you might want to leave that up. If you are going to be creating exclusively inside of Illustrator, or you are not going to be using any raster graphic from Photoshop, for instance, you can actually get rid of that.
If you want to get rid of this, all you have to do is just undock it like this and then click the little X like that, and it will go away. I will click it away for now, just so we can have something to customize. Right here we have the Attributes. If you open that up, that's going to be things like Overprint Fill and Overprint Stroke, things like that. It's also got some things for image mapping. Now in this case I am not going to be using this very much at all, so I am also going to drag that out and just delete it, just like that. I also have variables. If you are going to be working with any sort of data-driven graphics inside of Illustrator, you can use the Variables section. I am not going to be using those, so again I'll drag those out and close them up.
Then we have the Actions panel. If you don't know what actions are, basically they are a way of recording repetitive steps that you find yourself doing inside of Illustrator, and then playing them back on different objects and documents. It's a great way to streamline your workflows. Now I've got some other things up here that I want to rearrange, for instance the Transform panel. I am not going to be using that a whole lot, so I am actually going to drag that over to the right, and I am going to make the Info panel active. I use the Info panel constantly to let me know exactly where I am in my document for X and Y coordinates. It's also great for resizing objects.
You get the Width and Height properties right here. Great to have that prominently displayed. Swatches, I use swatches all the time, so I like to leave those right where they are. The color, same thing. Symbols, I use symbols quite a bit in my web design workflow, and you might want to check out the chapter that I have on symbols as well a little bit later on, because that's going to cover a lot of different things on how to utilize symbols in your web designs. Another great panel to have prominently displayed in your workspace is the Appearance panel. The Appearance panel is like a book that refers to every single piece of your document, and if you can learn to read the Appearance panel and use it to its fullest potential, you won't even have to use a lot of the panels that I have already pointed out.
The Appearance panel has some amazing capabilities. If you want to know more about the Appearance panel, I would suggest going and watching a course on lynda.com called Illustrator: Rethinking the Essentials by Mordy Golding. Mordy goes through the Appearance panel, how you can use that to analyze documents and also edit documents all from this one panel. It's an amazingly efficient way for working in Illustrator, and I highly recommend it. The Appearance panel here I think needs to be a little bit more prominent, so I am actually going to resize it a little bit to give it a little bit more space. Now, I am also going to be working a lot with responsive designs and multiple screen size designs, like mobile sites, applications, things like that, so I am going to need access to Artboards panel.
The Artboards panel is actually collapsed by default right here. So what I am going to do is I am going to drag that out on its own, and I just did that by clicking on the tab and dragging it out. And then I am going to take Artboards, I am going to drag it right here, and I am going to drop it right beneath the Actions button right there. So I have always got my Artboards easily accessible from right there. The Layers panel, I use layers a lot, so I am actually going to resize that a little bit as well. You'll notice that the Appearance panel has collapsed on me. If yours collapses, just double-click the word Appearance and it should open back up, and you can expand it back up like that. If you want to, you can also collapse the Symbols. So just double-click on Symbols; that will collapse that and give it a little bit more space. And then clicking Layers will expand that out.
So now I have Appearance and Layers. Symbols are still active, but it's just collapsed at the moment. If you wanted to, you can dock those right here along the left-hand side. As a matter of fact, I think I'll do that. Let's go ahead and drag Symbols down here, Brushes right beneath that. I use brushes occasionally, not much. And then Graphic Styles, I do use graphic styles quite a bit, so there we go. And so now I have my big panels that I need to see all of the time, which are Info, Appearance, and Layers, all right here, all prominently displayed. I also have easy access to Color and the Color Guide.
I have access to Transform. And then all the things that I use a lot, but I don't necessarily need open all the time are displayed right here in this little Side Dock. Now I have modified the original Web workspace here inside of Illustrator, so what I need to do is go up to the Workspace drop menu, go down and choose New Workspace. I am going to call this Justin's Web Workspace. You can call it whatever you want and then hit OK. And so now I am working in Justin's Web Workspace. Anytime I need to get back to that, I can go back up to the jump menu and choose that. If I make a mistake or rearrange something, I can always go back and reset it. I can do anything I need just like that.
If I need to jump into another workspace, no problem. Let's say I'm working on a brochure and I need to go to Printing and Proofing. I can hop right into that, and then instantly jump back into Justin's Web Workspace right there at the top, and it switches me right back. Now right now you maybe thinking that you simply don't know enough about your own personal workflow to know what you need and what you don't. And that's okay. I just wanted to give you an idea of how to rearrange and reorganize everything inside of Illustrator so as you continue to collect information about the tools and options that you use most often, you'll be able to then put those in play and create your own workspace whenever you feel comfortable.

(Feeding Iona cookies)
I don't really know the answer to this question, but I am curious. I have talked before about our sheep and our work with taming them. This winter we had a lot of progress. In the early part of the winter, we purchased a shepherd's hook. Every morning when I went into the sheep pen to give them their daily "cookie"(oats, molasses and apples), I would bring the hook in with me – let them smell and lick it, and use it to "pet" them, so they would get used to it being on them, so we could eventually use it to catch them.
During winter, we wore the same coats, day in and day out. I also fell out of the habit of using the shepherd's hook in February when they came back from a month at the breeders. Well as the weather changed and we stopped wearing the coats, they began to get more skittish, especially when we were just taking walks passed their pen, they would either hide in their enclosure or bend their heads and necks low to the ground, ready to jump and run.
It made us think, did they recognize us with the pattern of the coats? I am still not sure. But this week I started using the shepherd's hook again and they have been much friendlier. Do they remember the hook from before? Is the association between that and the cookies just part of their psyche now?
So how do your sheep recognize you?

Foxconn Worker Falls to Death in China's Shenzhen, Xinhua Says
A Foxconn Technology Group worker in China died from a fall today, months after a spate of similar fatalities at the electronics maker, the official Xinhua News Agency reported
No further information was immediately available, Xinhua said, citing the Shenzhen municipal government.
Foxconn, which makes electronics for customers ranging from Apple Inc. to Hewlett-Packard Co., doubled wages for its production workers and installed nets around dormitories in Shenzhen after at least 10 Chinese workers committed suicide this year. The last confirmed death was in August.
The deaths prompted labor groups including China Labor Watch to say the company is running a sweatshop that pushes employees to work long hours to earn more money. Foxconn has denied the allegation.
Edmund Ding, a spokesman for Taiwan's Foxconn, couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Moderate gas prices and an improving economy will prompt 94.5 million people - one third of all Americans - to travel more than 50 miles from last Saturday through Jan. 1, according to AAA Southern New England.
It's the fifth consecutive year of increased travel, and the highest number AAA has projected since it started tracking holiday travel in 2000.
Of the 94.5 million travelers, 85.8 million will go by automobile, up .9 percent from a year ago.
Gasoline prices in Rhode Island averaged $3.52 a gallon on Monday, up 1 cent from last week and 1 cent from a year ago. The U.S. average was $3.25 a gallon on Monday, according to AAA Southern New England. (Journal Staff)
