On Saturday Feb 4th, 2012, I walked in to buy a stereo, speakers and to remove some old dead speaker wires in my 1996 Corvette.
I ended up purchasing a Sony XAV-62BT (AV Center) and 4 speakers.
Mike, the owner / manager said that the install time was typically 3 hours and asked for 4 hours to insure smooth install. I gladly complied and took a walk down the block to Subway to sit, have some breakfast and do some work.
After 3 hours, I walked back to check in on the progress and the dashboard was disassembled with tons of wires all around and I spoke with Mike and said "Hey Mike, 'ya know it looks like this is going to take another few hours. These guys are jumping from job to job". I said "I feel that they have no focus on my project".
Sure enough, 9 HOURS LATER, the technicians had broken off my battery post and now my car wasn't starting!
My computer screen had 2 cuts in it now. There where 2 broken parts now inside the dash I observed and shared with Mike (no response). Exposed NEW wires installed.
I am PISSED and all I want is to cancel my transaction and give them back their product...
Listen to this.
So today, Sunday Feb 5th, I called Sony support to install the "Sens Me" product that comes with the system...its supposed to add some cool graphics to the screen so it looks neat at night.
Well it turns out I NEED to buy another Sony product that allows for THIS proprietary product to be installed!!
UNREAL! Mike NEVER shared this nor did he even know about this. He assured me today and said "I'll look into this".
I just called Mike. He offered me NOTHING, no discount. NOTHING. I am clear that he has NO care and NO interest in my well being or customer satisfaction. In fact he asked me if I was satisfied....I said "are you fuxoxoxo,,,,,,,crazy?" This clearly speaks volumes. He wasn't in his customers world (my word) what so ever.
All he did was explain himself, justify his actions and avoid taking responsibility for me concerns. You'd think after $550, I'd get SOME consideration.
I DO NOT recommend this place what so ever. I am cancelling my transaction and bringing back this stereo. Joesph, I wish I read your report before hand.

FORT HUACHUCA, Ariz. -- Three noncommissioned officers stationed on Fort Huachuca were recently inducted into the Sgt. Audie Murphy Club. The SAMC is an elite organization comprising of NCOs who have demonstrated performance and inherent leadership qualities and abilities characterized by those of Sgt. Audie Murphy.
Sgt. Audie Murphy was an NCO who, as a squad leader, consistently demonstrated the highest quality of leadership, professionalism and regard for the welfare of his Soldiers. A ceremony was held March 9 in Fitch Auditorium, Alvarado Hall, inducting Staff Sgt. Randy Gray, Company B, 304th Military Intelligence Battalion, Staff Sgt. Dale Kelso, 18th Military Police Detachment and Sgt. Enrique Jimenez, 18th MP Det. into the SAMC.
"The TRADOC SAMC is a privilege earned by a few exceptional noncommissioned officers," explained Sgt. First Class Adam Champion, 111th MI Brigade SAMC representative.
"I always have had the upmost respect to those fellow noncommissioned officers who were part of the elite Sergeant Audie Murphy Club. ... It is truly an honor to say that I am being inducted into this prestigious organization," said Gray.
All active Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard NCOs [corporal through sergeant first class] assigned or attached to TRADOC units are eligible for the SAMC. Yet, it takes hard work, leadership, personal concern for the needs, training, development and welfare of Soldiers and their families to be considered for membership.
"I am immensely proud of their [Kelso and Jimenez\'s] accomplishment," stated Capt. Shawn Fitzgerald, 18th MP Det. commander. "I am happy that they both went out of their comfort zone and challenged themselves. It speaks to the character, determination, and will to succeed that these two professionals exhibit on a daily basis. They have distinguished themselves from their peers and set an example for other NCOs and Soldiers to follow."
The SAMC selection process works in three phases. First, an NCO has to be nominated by their unit commander. The commander screens and evaluates possible candidates prior to the initial selection board. During phase two, an initial selection board is conducted at unit level under direction of the senior unit NCO. Selected candidates then move onto phase three, the final selection board. The SAMC final selection board will determine, through a question-and-answer system, if the candidate has reached a level of knowledge in a range of subjects to warrant induction into the SAMC.
The process was long and arduous, according to Gray. He said it took hours of studying regulations and field manuals and having to rely on his own experiences with the Army.
"It just took a little dedication and discipline to get through the process; but in the end, now that it's over, I can say its well worth it and I'm glad I did it," Gray stated.
The SAMC started at Fort Hood, Texas, in 1986. In 1994 at a sergeant major of the Army conference, the SAMC spread Army-wide to all commands, with installations retaining the selection process for their own NCOs. According to Champion, there are over 30 SAMC members, including honorary members, on Fort Huachuca.
"I'm honored to be selected by such wonderful non-commissioned officers into such a distinguished club. To be selected was not a challenge to be taken lightly. It really gives me a sense of accomplishment to be selected," said Jimenez.
"I now look forward in being an active member in the club because the local chapter gives so much back to the community," Gray added.

General Omar Bradley LbNA # 23453 (ARCHIVED)

|Hike Distance
10/28/2007-On Vaction: Omar has taken a vacation for a couple of weeks to be part of a gathering in Ohio. I am sure he will enjoy the trip and will have many stories when he returns. You can learn more about the gathering on Atlasquest http://www.atlasquest.com/events/event.html?gEventId=352
WANTED: Room Mate!! LB with large home in beautiful country. Looking for well-mannered HH that likes to have a good time. Please inquire at residence.
ABS Family is a family of five who enjoy the outdoors and love letterboxing. Be safe and we hope that with each hunt, you explore the area around it because you may never have the opportunity to see it again. This letterbox is very kid friendly. 90% open trail 10% wooded.
Omar Nelson Bradley was born literally in a log cabin near Clark, Missouri, on 12 Feb 1893, the only surviving child of schoolteacher John Smith Bradley and Sarah Elizabeth Bradley. He received a good secondary education, and became a star player on the Moberly High School baseball team. Bradleys Sunday School Superintendent recommended that he apply for an appointment to West Point. After placing first in the competitive exams for his district that were held at Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis, he received his appointment from Congressman William M. Rucker to enter the Military Academy in the fall of 1911.
Some men had difficulty adapting to the demanding curriculum and strict military life at West Point, but Bradley confessed that the discipline, the rigors of a code of conduct centering on honor and duty, the structured society, and the opportunities for athletics greatly appealed to him. An enthusiasm for sports took time away from academics, but Bradley managed to finish a respectable 44th in his graduating class of 164. He later commented the importance of sports in teaching the art of group cooperation.
Bradley graduated from West Point on 12 June 1915 as a second lieutenant of Infantry. He just missed service in World War I. The class of 1915 became known as the class the stars fell on because so many of its members became generals. Among its ranks were Dwight Eisenhower, Joseph M Swing, one of the airborne pioneers, and aviators John T. McTarney and George E. Stratemeyer.
At the outset of World War II, Bradley was a training officer and felt he would miss involvement in another world war until he was assigned to the European Theater. There he served for a period under General George S. Patton Jr. prior to taking command of the United States Army Group, the largest single command ever held by an American general.
Bradleys postwar service included leader of the Veterans Administration (1945), Army Chief of Staff (1948), the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1949). In 1950 he was promoted to the rank of Five Star General of the Army
Omar Bradley died on 8 April 1981, and thus the rank of the five-star rank passed into American history. And it is that passing which seems to make a brief history of the five star insignia of the General of the Army and the Admiral of the Fleet so appropriate. It was World War II, which precipitated the creation of this rank. The original title for the grade was to have been Field Marshal but the Army Chief of Staff, General George C. Marshall, refused to be known as Field Marshal Marshall! Congress finally approved the rank in December of 1944, almost too late to achieve its purpose. Generals Marshall, Eisenhower, MacArthur, and Arnold, and Admirals Leahy, King and Nimitz were named at that time. Admiral Halsey was promoted in December 1945 and Bradley in 1950. Thus a total of nine men in Americas history ever attained this elevated rank.
This letterbox is found in Rothwell Park in Moberly, MO. at the General Omar Bradley Memorial. To reach the memorial, take Hwy 63 to Hwy 24 west. Watch for signs for the Omar Bradley Memorial. Turn left at Holman Road. Again, follow the signs. Park where you can. Take time to look around at all the memorials in the area. The adventure will start at the memorial.
At General Bradleys right, there is a bench. Looking over the bench you will see a walking trail. Go to the trail. Start in the trail from the road and head to the right. You will immediately go around a bend to the left. Go right and across a second road. For bearing, you should be on the trail heading east and then north. Follow the walking trail to the bridge. At the southern edge of the bridge, head south on trail for 10 paces. Facing south there will be a large tree to your left at 20 feet and the east end of Pine Tree Row at 50 feet to your right. Face 250°, 36 paces will bring you to a brush pile overgrown with weeds. On the west side of the brush pile, you will find a UNIQUE STUMP. Sit down on the STUMP facing north, and rest your feet for a bit. Follow the deer trail straight north and downhill for 16 paces. Look east and west. Welcome to Pine Tree Row. You should be at pine tree five. Follow deer trail west to pine tree one. Watch out for that limb by your head. With pine tree one to your right, notice the group of trees at 280° about 15 feet. Look for LB at the base.
If you still have energy left, head back to the bridge and take the trail to the north, it is roughly one mile and it will take you back to the memorials.

Man denies possessing stolen goodsApril 17,2014Man denies guilt
in stolen steel case
A Rutland man charged with possessing stolen bridge building equipment that he tried to sell at a local scrapyard denied a felony charge in Rutland criminal court this week.
Aaron W. Goodrich, 41, pleaded innocent to a charge of possessing stolen property. He remains free on court-ordered conditions that include a 24-hour, seven day a week curfew at his Elm Street residence.
Goodrich was arrested Friday morning the morning after the bridge parts were stolen from Atlas Painting and Sheeting Corp., which has been parking its vehicles at the old Florys Plaza site in Rutland Town.
Vermont State Police say Goodrich was arrested while trying to sell the parts worth $8,140 to Rosen and Berger scrapyard just down Business Route 4 from Florys Plaza for $104.
State Police say Goodrich denied stealing the 1,060 pounds of parts. He told police he bought the items the night before from a man he bought metal from in the past. He said he paid $70 to the man for what he believed was about 500 pounds of scrap steel.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

When Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones recorded their own version of the Everly Brothers' Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, we tracked Phil Everly to talk to him about the album. We couldn't know that he'd pass away a few weeks later, just shy of his 75th birthday. Here is what we believe to be his last official interview:
With his co-vocalist brother Don, singer Phil Everly helped lay the very foundations for rock'n'roll, which included such surprising left turns as Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, the "American Gothic"-stark sophomore album from 1958 that still continues to stun (and/or haunt) new

Green Day – 'Dookie'. Released: February 1994. Some sneering types would claim that pop-punk isn't the type of genre to grow old gracefully. So stick a copy of Green Day's 'Dookie' under their noses: the trio's mainstream breakthrough, buoyed by the snotty 'Basket Case' and disarmingly deft 'When I Come Around', still stands-up 20 years after its release.

How did you first get interested in being in theater?
Oh, going way back. I got into in music at a young age. I was playing piano at 5 at the request of my mom. She is my biggest motivator. She heard me sing one day and thought I had a good voice so she told me I should do choir at school. It just snowballed from there. I started doing talent shows at school.

My connection to the Everly Brothers goes way back. My mother was an Everly Brothers fan. I remember her playing them in the house and hearing songs like "Bye Bye Love" and "Wake Up Little Susie."
The Everly Brothers' harmonies are so immaculate. You can tell that they're brothers and have been singing together basically since birth. They improved on the whole craft of singing harmony, and their harmonies are pretty much better than everybody's.
Their 1958 album "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us"– I thought it was just so dark.

I assembled the arbor using the big diamond wheel and put it in the chuck of my Sherline lathe to try out shapening a cutting bit. The run out was so bad I thought my lathe was going to vibrate off the bench (yes, it is a small lathe). I took the diamond wheel off and measured the run out of the arbor right where the diamond wheel goes - the part that should run true. It had a total indicated run out of 0.115"! And that was right by the chuck. I could have made a straighter arbor out of Play-doh. Well, I turned the arbor around and put the part where the diamond wheel goes on into the chuck, and then cut down the diameter of the arbors shank until it ran true. Once I reinstalled it the right way around and put the diamond wheel back on, it worked pretty good. Since the shoulder that the diamond wheel goes up against is not perpendicular to the axis of the lathe, the wheel still wobbles a bit. I could have trued it up more but I had other things to do, like sharpen my bits and get back to work. Anyway, now that I did that, the diamond wheels work really well and I can sharpen my high speed steel and carbide bits without getting out of my chair and going to the bench grinder. I have only used the big round wheel, and I have used it quite a bit, and it still cuts great. I am very impressed by that.These are absolutely worth the money, but they might need a little work to make them really useful. If you just wanted to put the diamond wheel in a cordless drill chuck to grind away at something, you might not even need to straighten the arbor (but you might, it was BAD).

Kit includes a 1/8" shank that needs a washer (not supplied) to make the diamond wheel (only the small one fits) securely fit on the shank. Larger shank (and the two larger wheels) do not fit any of Harborfreight's rotary tools, but does fit a 1/4" drill. Larger wheels are probably too big for a smaller shank. This product needs to be re-engineered.... and tested on Harborfreight's rotary tools!

Made short work of hard porcelain tile
By Dbang
from Plano, TX
I didn't get my lines correct on a cut-out when tiling the shower with 3/8" thick PEI 4 porcelain tile. I used the smaller grinding wheel with my Dremel and a flex-shaft attachment. It was easy to straighten out my mistake and grind down the porcelain in just a few minutes--even grinding dry, I didn't have a problem. I didn't get a bent arbor, so this worked fine for my needs.

Great wheels but wobbly manderel

I agree totally with the previous evaluation. Great little wheels for sharpening carbide lathe tools but the mandrels are bent. If you work at it you can get the mandrels pretty straight and then use a hand drill or a Dremel. It sharpens carbide niceley.

Hi Allen, we emailed about this, but adding a thread just in case others may be encountering similar.
I'm using your plugin for 21 different feeds, but several of them aren't publishing even though the feeds are creating new XML results and they're visible when I preview the feeds in your plugin. They also all have a green checkmark next to them. There seems to be some sort of backup that perhaps has to do with the Fetch Quantity Settings?
Here's an example of a feed that has a green check next to it, but isn't auto-posting to my site: http://whyleave.com/feeds/los-angeles/west-hollywood/twitter.xml
I have "Number of Items per Feed to Fetch" set to 80 (though I've tried many other quantities) and "Total Number of Items per Fetch" set to 2000. With that math, I should be able to get the 80 latest results from 25 different feeds.
As a side note, I'm certain I'm not taking every scenario into consideration, but for my needs, are both of those options necessary? Seems like you could avoid some confusion by just have "Number of Items per Feed to Fetch" and ditch the "Total Number..." field. Just a thought.
At any rate, any ideas why this isn't working? I've tried changing the feeds to Pending, removing and re-adding feeds, but still no dice. It also isn't limited to the most recent feeds--some old feeds and some of the newest feeds work--I don't see the rhyme or reason why some work and some don't.
Also, not sure if this has anything to do with it, but in the Category Mapping, I have a couple of empty categories that I'm no longer using--I don't see a way to remove unused categories.

Astronauts Power Down Experiments Before Return Today
By WARREN E. LEARY
Published: April 8, 1997
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., April 7— Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Columbia were powering down experiments and stowing gear today in preparation for an early return from space on Tuesday because of power problems.
The Columbia and its seven-member crew are expected to return to the Kennedy Space Center here at 2:30 P.M., landing just four days after lifting off on what was to have been a 16-day scientific mission.
The shuttle, running on two-thirds power after the astronauts shut down one of three fuel cells that supply all of the vehicle's electricity, was a dark but busy place today as its crew crammed in last-minute work. The astronauts, disappointed by their shortened mission but determined to get the most out of it, tried to remain in good humor as they worked with flashlights in a spacecraft darkened to conserve power.
''It was a big disappointment to end the mission,'' Dr. Donald A. Thomas, an astronaut-physicist said today during a news conference from orbit. ''But we've been working as hard as we can, working double-time up here, trying to make up for what we're losing.''
All nonessential equipment, including most of the lighting, was turned off to conserve power for scientific experiments in the laboratory carried in the shuttle's cargo bay. The crew was to work on its most important research until just before midnight before shutting down the laboratory and its 33 experiments.
''For sure you can't cram 16 days of work into four days, but we're doing our best,'' Dr. Thomas said. About 15 percent of the mission's objectives were achieved.
Officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided on Sunday to shorten the flight because of a malfunctioning fuel cell. These devices generate electrical power and produce drinking water by combining supercold liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen reactants.
Since the launching on Friday, engineers have been concerned about unusual voltage fluctuations in the No. 2 fuel cell, which had displayed odd behavior before liftoff but later appeared to correct itself.
Although NASA managers said there was no immediate safety concern, they first cut use of the fuel cell to a minimum before deciding on Sunday to shut it down completely. Officials were concerned about the remote possibility that the volatile gases within the malfunctioning cell could mix and overheat, potentially leading to an explosion.
This flight is only the third shuttle mission out of 83 flown since 1981 to be cut short by equipment problems. In November 1981, Columbia came back three days early because of a fuel cell problem, and in December 1991, Atlantis returned three days ahead of schedule because navigational equipment malfunctioned.
Linda Ham, a NASA flight director, said today at a news conference at the Johnson Space Center in Houston that with two remaining fuel cells, Columbia had enough power for a normal reentry from space.
Except for predictions of high winds, the weather generally looked good for landing at the Kennedy Space Center or, if necessary, Edwards Air Force Base in California.

However, when I go to edit my current template through the theme customizer, my page constantly refreshes every two or three seconds. It never allows me to make changes because it refreshes right away. It does this with my current theme and any new theme I upload.

A U.S. Navy veteran who now practices law is the newest member of the Woodland District 50 school board.
Renea Amen, of Gurnee, was chosen from five applicants to fill the vacancy left when board member Kellie Pappas resigned because of an out-of-district move, according to a news release. Pappas was elected to the board in April 2015.
Amen, who specializes in criminal defense and civil rights litigation, will serve through May 2017, and will have the opportunity to run in the April election for the last two years of the term.

I have fraud protection with my bank, they held the account as of 11/27 so I am lucky. When I spoke with the gentleman he told me the first charges had dropped off? Gone but he did say besides Digital River, there was a charge listed as Health and Beauty Trial for $1.99 and we then cancelled the card. No description as to who or what company this is. Today 12/22 I received a call from a recorded voice, "Touch and Brush" stating they has a problem in shipping a product to me, because of billing issues, and left a phone number. I spoke with a girl who answered with "Flexies" ?? then transfered the call to Jackie, who answered "Merchandise Direct". She procceded to cancel the order, so she says, "write REFUSED on the box and give it back to the guy". I happened to ask about being a mother company and about DermaWand, SHE gave me a toll-free phone number to them. Kind quick,like out of her head, fast. I then asked about Life Cleanse, got yet another toll-free number, but to Ever Cleanse. Maybe they can help you, maybe not.
I signed up here shortly after this, to lodge a complaint against all these companies and those who I'm sure will try to send me more garbage. I am still unsure as to just how they got my card number, no-one here. And I don't order from those kinds of ads,trials etc. I do shop on the web, but after reading all statements, privacy, terms, refunds. I am at a loss. I do not know what happened or how it happened. Days before Christmas, I am sure glad my grandkids love me, as this is the only credit card I own.
If anyone knows anything about the health and beauty trial, could you please let me know. I am very grateful for any information you wish to share. I'm also sorry this was long and drawn out. Thanks so much

They sent a technician named Serge (385 Weymouth Rd. Buena, N.J. 08310) who told me that the actual problem was with my outside shower--that it needed a new "cartridge" and a new handle. This was a surprise to me since the shower was working. He explained that the outside shower was "connected" to the dishwasher and that when he fixed the outside shower problem the dishwasher would work properly. I am in the medical field and didn't really understand what he meant so I specifically said "so when you fix the shower the dishwasher will run properly, right?" He assured me that it would "all be good."
It took him less than 10 minutes. He didn't do anything to the dishwasher, told me I owed him $279.25 and that the shower and dishwasher were fixed. I had no reason to doubt him and gave him my credit card for the amount quoted. As he was walking out the door I noticed that the dishwasher had stopped and the re-set light was blinking red, exactly as it was before he "fixed it." He looked at it, dismissed it and said "I can't help you anymore, you will have to call someone else. I fixed your shower."
I stayed calm because I was sure that he would understand that I had not called to have the shower fixed. It had been working. The dishwasher was NOT working properly, and still wasn't working properly. He matter-of-factly continued to walk out the door muttering "you have to call someone else to fix that."
I told Serge that, if he was not able to fix my dishwasher (the reason I was calling) then he should have identified the problem, told me he couldn't fix it and bill me $50.00. He very nastily said "if you want I can put your old shower parts back." I told him, yes, that is what I want you to do, but he kept walking while I was talking, got into his truck, and left.
This is my first time registering this type of complaint but I was totally ripped off. I don't care how many "testimonials" they have about how great their service is, South Jersey Mr. Rooter is a place you should stay away from and I intend to tell everyone I know about the bad experience I had with Serge.

The Creighton Model of NFP
Although Natural Family Planning was spearheaded by the Church, more and more couples like yourselves are attracted to the benefits of being in-sync with the natural rhythms of the body for contraceptive purposes. The Creighton method, research by and named after Creighton University, helps women to track and record their individual cycles, empowering them to make smart, individual, fertility decisions.
Biomarkers: Clues To Your Fertility
This model of natural family planning relies on what are called biomarkers, external indicators that give you clues as to what is happening internally with your unique cycle. The two most prevalent indicators used in the Creighton model are cervical mucus and the menstrual bleed. Once these biomarkers are observed, they are then recorded to allow each women to clearly track her own fertility.
After tracking and recording biomarkers, a pattern will emerge, and once you begin taking note of the pattern, it is easier to establish other biomarkers such as specific bleeding patterns, level of mucus production, and length of time between different stages within the cycle. Once the patterns become routine, you will probably even be able to observe how diet, exercise, stress and other outside influences affect your fertility. This enhances a woman's ability to control her own gynecological health and well-being.
The method's founder, Hilgers, describes the Creighton Model as being based on "a standardized modification of the Billings ovulation method," which was developed by John and Evelyn Billings in the 1960s. The Billings issued a paper refuting the claim that the CMS represents a standardization of the BOM and claims that the two methods are different and are not interchangeable. The main difference between the two methods is that unlike the Billings method, the Creighton model does not use indicators observed from the vulva to determine ovulation and fertility.
Benefits Of Using The Creighton Model
The Creighton model has been known for its positive effect it has on a couple's relationship. Couples who manage their fertility naturally have reduced divorce rate of as low as 1 in 150 couples. After managing fertility together, couples are said to communicate better, appreciate each other more and become more in tune with one another.
Studies have shown that the reliability of this method is 99.5%. An additional benefit of employing the Creighton model for natural family planning is that it does not depend on cycles being regular. It can be practiced while breastfeeding, during times of stress while in peri menopause , etc.
Other Methods of Natural Family Planning
The Creighton model is one of many highly reliable methods of practicing Natural Family Planning and is based mainly on cervical mucus and cervical position . Other Natural Family Planning methods include the Symto-Thermal method incorporate cervical observations similar to the Creighton method, but also uses temperature charts to increase reliability.

Better living through nature
By Gina Souders
Tips, Home, Garlic, News, Health
Last night, I was surprised to hear on the news what Ankeny, Iowa recently used to de-ice their roads: garlic salt.
Photo by dogfaceboy/ Courtesy flickr
The garlic, which was mixed with regular road salt, was donated by spice producer Tone Brothers, Inc. The nine tons of garlic salt would have ended up in a landfill if it hadn't have been for this donation.
It's great to see how people continue to discover new ways herbs can be used in this modern day in age, but I have to wonder how this new use really works. Why did they have to mix the garlic salt with regular road salt? Was the use of less road salt the main benefit, saving road salt for future icy days? Or was the benefit a sustainable solution for using landfill-destined waste. Does garlic salt actually work best for ensuring safety on the roads? And wouldn't the roads smell like a pizza joint? Tell me what you think!

A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
Golden thread
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Good As Gold
Lucie is the "golden-haired doll" who charms just about everyone she meets with her beauty. She's got yellow hair, as you've probably guessed. More interestingly, however, Dickens uses her hair color as an image that binds her family together. She becomes the "golden thread" that unites her father with his present, not allowing him to dwell too much on the horrors of his past:
She was the golden thread that united him to a Past beyond his misery, and to a Present beyond his misery: and the sound of her voice, the light of her face, the touch of her hand, had a strong beneficial influence with him almost always. (2.4.3)
A golden thread almost sounds like some sort of magical power; in fact, the Manettes lead a "charmed" life in Soho. Lucie may not be the character who gets the most screen time in this novel, but Dickens makes sure that we all know she's its heart. Lucie unites Sydney to Charles, Doctor Manette to Charles, and Mr. Lorry to the family in general. Lucie becomes the reason that Charles escapes the grasp of the Republic's "justice."
In one terrifying moment in the novel, Jacques Three speculates about how wonderful it would be to see her golden hair on the chopping block of La Guillotine. The charm of Lucie's influence, however, makes this an impossibility. Mr. Lorry and Sydney are determined to save her at any cost. Guess being a blonde has some good points, after all.

Braves Targeting Aramis
That's the story on NBC Sports citing Talking Chop of SB Nation, which isn't what I'd call a go-to news source. But alas it's out there and if the Braves do put in a waiver claim, I'd like to hope Hendry just lets him go to the Braves and saves the money for the rest of this year and most likely next. Granted, Aramis still has a a NTC and would have to approve the deal even if the Cubs just let the waiver claim go through, but it would take the Cubs off the hook for 2011 on the assumption that Aramis was going to exercise his option.
Not much else going on, nice little weekend of playing spoiler to the Cardinals by taking two out of three, but they couldn't keep the momentum going today against the first place Padres. Gorz pitched well for six innings, but then the 7th happened and then the bullpen and the Cubs stayed within a half game of the 5th pick in the 2011 draft. After the game, Lou felt the need to vent about the young pitchers whose names he'll forget by Day 2 of his retirement.
The signing deadline for the 2010 draft came and went on Monday and according to Cubs.com, the Cubs signed 29 of their 50 picks, 15 of their top 16 picks and 21 of their top 25. The top holdout was 6th round pick Ivan Dejesus (standard disclaimer that he's not related to that Ivan Dejesus).
According to tweets by Chicago Cubs Online, Oneri Fleita mentioned ont he radio that Chris Archer, Brett Jackson and Josh Vitters will be 3 of the Cubs heading to the Arizona Fall League with Vitters getting time at 3b and 1b. The Cubs will send 2-4 more players when they make their official announcement later this month.
UPDATE: As I noted, Talking Chop should not be your go-to news source as just about everyone with the Braves is dismissing the idea.

Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
I can't wait for what kind of miserable ad campaign Ricketts dreams up next year. This year, from Spring Training on, they ran radio ads that didn't even mention the Cubs, it's all about Wrigley Field and "come visit Wrigley Field" and how "Wrigley Field is a way of life", coupled with some idiot actor telling some dumb story about how their life is so much better when they find time to hang out at Wrigley Field. No mention of baseball, the Cubs, any players, etc. Wayne Messmer's voice comes on at the end to promote tickets for a certain date, that's the only reference to the team or baseball. The commercials make me want to rip my radio out and throw it out the window.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Next year's Cubs radio ads will include, "Come see the yellow noodle! The Toyota sign! Or have your picture taken with the new Wrigley Field mascot - Greenie the Whore! Greenie is an obnoxious but lovable dollar bill who rifles through your pockets, taking every last penny."

Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
His impression should be that he's been ridicuously lucky in not giving up HR's on the fly balls he does give up, and that he should be traded to any team that doesn't realize that during the off-season. The K's are up to a nice rate, but with all those walks and fly balls, he's a ticking timb bomb of ERA explosion.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
he's a ticking timb bomb of ERA explosion
with a no trade clause.
I'm not saying he'd use it. I'm just saying he has one.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Yep, I would think at this point he feels jerked around enough that he'd accept a "fresh start" trade. Especially if the rumors of his rampant ego are true.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
He still could play in the NFL. Maybe some team will have an injury and come calling?
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis

Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
According to Cot's Contracts, if Ramirez is traded and he exercises his 2011 option for $14.6 million, then his 2012 season becomes guaranteed at $16 million. That makes trading him much less likely.
I've also read/heard contradicting reports on whether a waiver claim requires a player to waive his no-trade clause. If the Cubs put ARam on waivers and the Braves (or any team) claimed him, can't we just say, "OK, he's yours" and that's not technically a trade. If we asked for players back, that's a trade and would require ARam's approval.
Does anyone know what the actual rules are? AZ Phil?
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Check out AZ Phil's Corner at the top of the page.
In the 40 man roster piece there's a section on Trade Assignment Waivers.
Here's the money quote, "A player with "no trade" rights can refuse both a waiver claim and a trade assignment, however."
P.S. I miss AZ Phil
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
"I get to move for two months, and I get to have a pay cut for next year? Where do I sign?!"
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Wait... weren't you complaining about DLee not waiving his NTC?
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
This. Were the Braves open to accepting his options in this scenario, I'd bitch a little more, but no one is going to do what's proposed here.
Re: Braves Targeting Aramis
Sounds like things were discussed:
Thus Wren did at least explore the possibility of acquiring Ramirez. But when the veteran third baseman was unwilling to adjust his contract, this option no longer made sense from a financial perspective.
The Braves could certainly find a way to afford the approximate $4 million that Ramirez would be owed for the remainder of this season.
But with Jones at least currently committed to return next year and earn the $14 million that he is owed, the Braves aren't in a position where they would could also afford the $14.6 that Ramirez will be guaranteed when he exercises his player option for the 2011 season.
And to top things off, if the Cubs do trade Ramirez, his $16 million option for the 2012 season becomes guaranteed.

Go complain about something else, like, "they never play good against the good teams", or some other shit.
Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.
stewart with 7Ks through 3ip...of course.
that 10-13 mph difference in his fastball/change is working today...and they're swinging at his crappy slider.
brock stewart...steven brault...fun times for the cubs hitters vs allegedly competitive teams...maybe.
Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.
great defense
Heyward, Russell, Baez, Bryant, Ross in particular...although Bryant's a bit hard to judge with all the positions.
Fowler and Rizzo in the top half of the NL for their positions as well (per fangraphs)...Zobrist right at the halfway cutoff for 2b in the NL.
I'm sure some luck is involved too, but the Cubs and Maddon knew what they were doing.
