I truly hated to leave all my friends here at covers as there are so many good people here and i got to know a lot of them but there are also a few bad apples that ruin it for everyone they start out as though there your best friend but as soon as you have a bad run they turn against you very quickly these were people who i considered friends here and then only to read some of the comments that were left in my e-mail you would have thought i hurt someone they really cared about by the language being used and the threats that were made so the best thing for me was to leave. I have found it rather hilarious that a few have started posting plays and now act as though they are some top handicapper but i will wish them luck but i also want them to stay away from me.
I have moved on and i am surrounded with really good people like alot of you here and i'm happy with my decision. It was rather comical in away that this started over 2 bad weeks i had when the playoffs started and since i left i have gone 9-1 in the playoffs everyone has bad runs but it is those who believe in what they do and in god that end up reaping the fortune now&n...

Encountering John Adams:
Braintree and Boston
A One-Week NEH Landmarks Workshop for Community College Teachers
First Session July 8-14, 2007; Second Session, July 15-21, 2007
The workshop is devoted to studying John Adams' life and thought as revealed in the letters, essays and documents he wrote, the marginal notes he made in the books he read, the homes he lived in and the artifacts he collected. Reading his words and considering his deeds in his very own physical surroundings helps us to understand his frame of mind and recognize the great difficulties and challenges he faced. We read the Massachusetts Constitution in the room in which he drafted it; climb Penns Hill and look out at Boston harbor from the same spot where Abigail Adams watched the battle of Bunker Hill and described it in letters to him; sit in the small kitchen in which John hosted meetings of revolutionary leaders; and inspect the art works he acquired abroad and treat them as clues regarding the impact that European culture had upon his thoughts and feelings.
In addition to intensive work at the Adams National Historical Park, participants do hands-on research activities at the Massachusetts Historical Society which houses the Adams Papers, the Massachusetts Archives which houses the Massachusetts Constitution and documents relating to its ratification, and the Boston Public Library which houses his personal library. Four seminar meetings provide a thread of analytic and chronological continuity and integrate the specific lessons learned at the landmarks.
Each participant has his or her own room in a modern and well maintained dormitory suite at Boston College. The campus is close to several trolley lines that provide good access to downtown Boston and Cambridge. Each participant receives a $500 stipend to help cover housing and meal expenses and a travel subsidy to help meet transportation expenses.

Union Jack Snugli Front Baby CarrierMacki West
That's my brother-in-law and that's my kid he's got in the most perfect of all gifts for a new dad, the Snugli front carrier. You see, my BIL is British and my sister is pregnant with their first little one who is going to be born in the USA. Pops is a proud Brit and hopes to give his son a strong English accent (I don't have the heart to tell him it's not gonna happen). At least I found the perfect gift for this proud dad and not just because it sports the union jack, either. The Snugli is one awesome baby carrier. Super light weight, easy to get baby in and out and the baby can face forward. My little dude is not a fan of facing me (what, is it my breath?!). Babies just like to see the world, the trees, the street signs, people, something other than a chest. Although if your baby is tiny or likes facing in, you can do that as well – options people! The snugly comes in other patterns too if the union jack is not your thing.
It's so easy to get your baby in and out, there's a one handed buckle on each side, although we only needed to open one side to get the boy in. The shoulders are nicely padded and the weight is distributed evenly since since straps cross in the back. Another bonus is the simplicity of design. I've seen carriers with all kinds of straps and buckles that it takes forever just to figure out which side is up. The Snugli is so simple, just pop it over your head and go!

There've Been Enchanted Evenings Since Donna Mills Saw a Stranger Across a Crowded Room
Though Mills, 37, admits she's "always had a relationship going," for the past five years there's been only one man in her life: Richard Holland, 31, a screenwriter, advertising exec and onetime rock guitarist. They maintain separate two-bedroom houses—hers in Beverly Hills with a terraced outdoor pool, his in nearby Studio City with the requisite hot tub. "There was a point where we were practically living together," says Mills, "but when the show is shooting, I get a wake-up call at 5 a.m., and it's not fair. So what we do is stay together on weekends." Holland's explanation of their two-pad relationship differs: "The reason is that we haven't made a commitment to marriage. In the meantime we each have our own place to escape to when we need it." Donna, at least, is in no hurry to tie the knot. "I don't see any more security in being married than in not being married."
Their meeting was more Fantasy Island than Knots Landing. Holland, the son of a Los Angeles-based studio musician, had married black soul singer Chaka Khan in 1974 when he was 22. (She'd happened to rent a house next door to his place.) He became her personal manager, but after five years and one son, they split. Their wild life on the road "was too fast and too crazy," he explains. To decompress, he decided to join some chums on a get-away-from-it-all trip to Puerto Vallarta. While waiting for the flight to Mexico at the L.A. airport, Holland recalls, "I saw this woman across the room. I recognized her from TV, but I couldn't pinpoint her. She smiled back. I couldn't believe it. I even looked behind me to see who she might be smiling at."
The attraction was mutual. "I've always liked men with dark hair and dark eyes," says Mills. Although they chatted about getting together in Mexico, it wasn't until they were back in L.A. that Holland mustered the courage to call Mills for a date. He took her out to a rib house in the Valley, he says, and "everything seemed to click. She was so warm, friendly and funny. She understood my jokes, which not many people in this town do."
Mills says that Holland was just the change she had wanted. "I was dating some business types before. They're so busy getting where they're going, you look in their eyes and you don't see anything. Richard's the kind of artistic, sensitive man I've always liked."
Mills was born in Chicago as Donna Miller, the daughter of the now retired head of Union Oil's market research division and a dance teacher who encouraged her daughter to study ballet. After one year at the University of Illinois ("to please my parents"), Mills dropped out to audition for stage and dance parts in Chicago. By 1963 she was seeking stardom in Manhattan, where she landed an understudy role in Woody Allen's first play, Don't Drink the Water. A CBS casting director spotted her and offered her the role of a sexy nightclub singer in the soap opera The Secret Storm. Then in 1971 she moved to L.A. to film Play Misty for Me with Clint Eastwood. Burt Reynolds recommended her to Clint after she had played opposite Reynolds in an episode of ABC's Dan August. Eastwood looked at her Dan August rushes and hired her before he even met her. Over the next nine years she appeared in 21 TV flicks, finally landing her Knots Landing job in 1980.
Mills and Holland say they have had "no problem" with the fact that she is six years older than he—and in fact theirs is hardly the only such relationship in showbiz: Britt Ekland, 40, Juliet Mills, 41, and Joan Collins, 50, all have younger mates. Donna doesn't particularly care for Richard's love of monster-movie memorabilia (he even has a human brain in ajar and a human skeleton at his house). But she indulges his passion for sports by accompanying him to Dodger games, and he shares her love of ballet. Holland is all for Mills' career, though he frets that at times "we only see each other about five minutes out of the week. Then I start thinking, 'Hey, what about me?' But usually I'm pretty good about it.' "
Though Mills still has four years remaining in her seven-year contract, she has gained the confidence to form her own production company, Bonaparte, which has two TV projects in the works. Holland is co-producing one and she will star in both. "They are special and important to me because they show a woman the way I think women should be portrayed these days, as an independent entity, not a victim...someone who is strong and makes her way in the world because of her abilities, not because she has the right man." Even Abby (and Mary) Cunningham would approve.

Porcupine Tree
Share This
Though he initially came to wider attention (at least in the U.K.) with
, his long-running collaboration with
Tim Bowness
throughout the '90s, singer/guitarist
Steven Wilson
gained as much of a reputation for
Porcupine Tree
. Embracing and exploring prog rock inspirations while always keeping an ear out for newer musical connections, thus sidestepping the pointless revivalism of many of the band's peers,
Porcupine Tree
has created some noteworthy albums and songs over the years, continuing full-strength into the new millennium.
The group itself was just
at the start. Born in London in 1967, he was too young to participate in the first full flush of psychedelic and experimental rock music, but swiftly made up for lost time, turning out to be a talented musical prodigy. Having learned guitar and keyboards at a young age, he contributed to work by underground prog outfits of the early '80s such as
and Karma, while continuing his own musical growth and exploration. 1987 saw the founding of both
Porcupine Tree
, the latter actually starting as a joke between
and a friend about a legendary lost '70s group. Elaborate discographies and other material were created à la
Spinal Tap
, while
himself created a slew of music meant to be the band's lost recordings. In a humorous twist of fate, two tapes of this material ended up in the hands of other folks interested in hearing more from
, who ended up collating the best tracks for
Porcupine Tree
's real debut album on Delerium Records,
On the Sunday of Life
, in 1992. Those songs having been something of a nostalgia exercise,
aimed for a more contemporary approach on his follow-up release -- the extended single "Voyage 34," with a clear debt to ambient techno jokesters
the Orb
Up the Downstair
Porcupine Tree
's next full album, found
coming fully into his own, creating a majestic, sweeping album that took the prog inspirations of the past fully into a realm of mysterious hush and beauty as much as full-on rock charge. Two collaborators on other projects, bassist
Colin Edwin
and keyboardist
Richard Barbieri
, the latter one of the core members of early-'80s pop art geniuses
, guested on the album. Later that year, the two formally joined
Porcupine Tree
, along with drummer
Chris Maitland
, establishing a four-piece lineup.
The first release by the new version of the group,
The Sky Moves Sideways
, was actually something of a transitional affair, a number of the songs still being
solo compositions and performances. A slew of fine songs stood out regardless, notably "Moonloop," but the bandmembers themselves considered the quartet's true debut to be 1996's
, another stunning step forward for the
Porcupine Tree
sound, with new highlights everywhere, including the epic blast of the title track itself. A nice nod to the past came that year with the vinyl-only Spiral Circus album, featuring selections from the first three performances of the four-piece lineup in 1993, while 1997's
Coma Divine
featured live recordings from the Rome stop on the
tour. By this time,
Porcupine Tree
's reputation had spread throughout Europe and elsewhere, including an increasing cult following in America.
A friendly parting from Delerium led
Porcupine Tree
to Snapper/K-Scope, which released 1999's
Stupid Dream
, notable for its stronger song focus and slightly more accessible feel all around. The band's reputation and fan base continued to grow, with another album,
Lightbulb Sun
, taking its bow in 2000.
Porcupine Tree
continued to tour and plan ahead for both new recordings and reissues of older, rarer material, the first of which surfaced in May 2001, titled
. Various unreleased cuts from the
Stupid Dream
Lightbulb Sun
sessions as well as a few B-sides were included. They spent the rest of the year putting together
Stars Die: The Delerium Years '91-97

4K GH4 test with 28-300mm Tamron

This looks great Joe,
The gh4 seems well suited to these close-up tele situations......requiring ultimate detail.
Just wondering if you have tried the ETC feature yet.....using a manual lens?
I'm curious as to how many "steps" it requires to activate > magnify the image > focus > resume filming.....with the gh4.
With my g6 {with ETC assigned to an FN button}, I press this button {step 1}
Toggle down from the "stills" ETC setting {which annoyingly is its default position}.....to the video ETC setting {step 2}
Press rear wheel, to enlarge/magnify image {step 3}
Focus {step 4}
Finally...press record button/shutter button to resume recording {step 5}
Although it seems to be a lot of messing about on my g6 {and my previous gh2}.....in reality it can all be done within two or three seconds.
"Step 2" is the crucial {time wasting} annoyance for me, so I'm curious as to whether the gh4 defaults directly to the video ETC setting....when shooting video {which would be far more useful/ logical}.
I realise you may not have time to spare, but if/when you ever get a chance, I would appreciate your findings.
Alan, the most user-friendly solution to this I've found is to store the ready-to-shoot ETC settings to one of the custom dial settings. In my GH3, the C-3 setting had three sub-choices, and I stored my normal video settings in C3-1, ETC in C3-2, and slo-mo in C3-3. These toggle with the set button when the dial is in the C3 position. Don't know what the G6 has, but the GH4 seems to have the same setup, as I will soon find out!
Thanks for that suggestion Pete....I shall look into it.
There was a reason that it was not suitable to use the C1/2/3 options for my video settings with my previous gh2.....but I can't remember what that reason was.
I'm new to the g6, so I shall investigate if this is another option for me!
Thanks again {I shall give it a try this evening}
I couldn't wait any longer....so have just tried it,
Wonderful news {thanks Pete}...it works a treat!!
C2 is not usable for my purposes...I can't seem to save manual video settings {it stays in P mode}.
However, C1 saves all my manual video settings, and I can now just alternate the top dial from the M position {creative video mode} with the ETC not active....to the C1 position with the same settings but with the ETC setting active.
This will make a vast handling difference for me....so thanks again for suggesting it!!
Can't wait to try it out "in the field"

The science of pathology is still far from formulating an entirely satisfactory hypothesis for the genesis of all forms of nephritis. It is known, of course, that incident to the attempts of the kidney to eliminate certain substances like the salts of mercury or uranium or several other metals, a tubular nephritis of varying intensity may arise; and the acute injury may subsequently become chronic in its manifestations. There is considerable justification for the belief that the reaction of the secreted urine, which in turn is dependent on the nature of the food intake, is not without influence on the behavior of the kidney cells under secretory stress. Usually, however, the etiology of nephritic changes is sought in some foreign factor, such as the inorganic possibilities just cited, or nephrotoxins or nephrolysins assumed to arise within the organism itself.
Although the alleged "strain" of eliminating a large quantity of those

Ugly Betty star Ashley Jensen, 38, and her husband, actor Terence Beesley, are expecting their first child in the fall, a rep for the actress confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.
In a bit of of life imitating art, Jensen found out that she was expecting after her character on the hit show went through pregnancy and birth this past season. Jensen, who studied acting in her native Scotland, met her hubby while they were performing in King Lear. She received an Emmy nod for her role on TV's Extras in 2008.
Jensen – "excited" about being pregnant – is not slowing down anytime soon. She's currently working on the new Jenna Elfman sitcom, Accidentally on Purpose, about a woman dating a younger man who finds out unexpectedly that, you guessed it: She's pregnant.

State Reps. Lisa Howze and Fred Durhal, Jr. are the only high-profile figures who have officially announced their candidacy for Detroit mayor.
But while Duggan's people have been spreading videos about his time at DMC and as Wayne County Prosecutor, Napoleon has taken to Twitter to spread his message, even creating his own hashtag:
"I know Detroit. I know our joy. I know our tenacity. I know our pain. I wake up in
I know Detroit. I know our joy. I know our tenacity. I know our pain. I wake up in #Detroit everyday. #BN4theD— Benny Napoleon (@BennyNapoleon) December 21, 2012
Mayor Dave Bing has stayed mum on whether or not he'll run for re-election.
Howze painted a picture of what her administration would look like earlier this month in a radio interview.
And Durhal announced his run in a crowded church gathering last month.
The filing deadline to run for Detroit mayor in 2013 is May 14, with primary and general elections scheduled Aug. 6 and Nov. 5.
Andrae Townsel, a Detroit native and Howard University student, also plans to run.
City Council President Charles Pugh doesn't intend to seek reelection and has said in the past he plans to stay in politics after one term in that position, but he has not said that he wants to run for mayor. Pugh's chief of staff Bryan Barnhill is Duggan's campaign manager.
Attorney Geoffrey Fieger has also flirted with a mayoral run.

Nest site/characteristics: Most form small (200- to 300-member) colonies, but colonies of some species contain thousands of ants and multiple queens. Big-headed ants enter buildings occasionally, preferring to nest in protected soil (such as under stones, leaf litter, mulch, patio blocks, slabs, firewood and landscape timbers). Some nest in open areas where they make small mounds, or in crawl spaces in termite-damaged wood.
Big-headed ants trail readily, but usually not far from their nest. Their foraging trails are sometimes covered with soil, resembling subterranean termite foraging tubes.
Feeding Preferences: Big-headed ants prefer seeds and insects but will occasionally feed on honeydew from sap-sucking insects. Inside, they forage for meats, grease, liver, molasses, peanut butter, pet foods and fruit juices, preferring high-protein foods.
Control: Find and eliminate colonies in or around the structure.

- When can a high school student start taking classes at Penn State?
- What is the reduced tuition rate for Dual Enrollment?
- How does a high school student enroll in Penn State York's Dual Enrollment program?
Q: What is the Dual Enrollment program?

The program is open to high school juniors and seniors, who have a minimum cumulative grade-point average(GPA) of 3.0.
For high school seniors who have taken the SATs, Penn State desires a combined SAT 1 score of 1,000 (math and critical reading sections).
Q: When can a high school student start taking classes at Penn State?
According to University Faculty Senate policy, a high school student can begin taking classes at Penn State no sooner than the second semester of the junior year of high school. The Dual Enrollment-College-in-High School program is open to students in their junior year of high school, the summer between the junior and senior years, as well as fall and spring of the senior year. Once a student graduates, he or she is no longer eligible to participate in the Dual Enrollment-College-in-High School program
Students are eligible for the Dual Enrollment tuition rate for no more than two classes per semester (eight credit maximum), over the course of their four semesters of eligibility
Q: What is the reduced tuition rate for Dual Enrollment?
The tuition rate for students is 50 percent of standard tuition costs. View current tuition rates and fees. Students are eligible to take two classes per semester (6-8 credits) at this reduced rate. Students taking more than two classes per semester must pay full tuition on the additional class(es).
Additional costs include books and fees. The price of books varies according to the class the student selects
Financial aid is not available for Dual Enrollment participants.
Q: How does a high school student enroll in Penn State York's Dual Enrollment program?
Interested students should contact the Penn State York office of admissions at 717-771-4040 to obtain a Penn State York Dual Enrollment Form and Contract and to set up an appointment to meet with an admissions counselor in order to schedule a class(es).
- Dual enrollment appointments are scheduled beginning in May for the fall semester and late November for the spring semester each year. Classes are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- The student must bring the following documents to the admissions appointment:
- The completed Penn State York Dual Enrollment Form and Contract, signed by the student, parent/guardian, and high school guidance counselor
- High school transcript, including SAT/ACT/PSAT test scores (if taken)
- It is also recommended that the student review the online schedule of classes offered during the appropriate semester prior to the admissions office appointment. Students should direct any questions regarding which college courses will fulfill high school requirements to their high school guidance counselor.

Inspired by beautiful chinese silk fabric, this festive scarf makes an eye-catching statement piece, with delicate motifs bravely balanced by strong chain links and unique fringe tassels. A bulky weight yarn is used to create the motifs, and a super bulky weight is used for the background of the motifs to give them stability. The scarf is worked in a remarkable way, with a partial motif added to the back to make it reversible. It is a wonderful project to showcase the colors in a variegated yarn.

Never again
First thing first you have to bring ear plugs with you or you will be not able to sleep the whole night. Some guest had a party till 1-2AM and housekeepers started to drive their carts at 6AM.
There was a small door in the bath and the lock on this door was broken. It was fixed by staff, but it feel on my shoulder.
We were no able to find free complimentary tea or coffee.
As for security, we lived in so called bangalow and our air-conditioner was so loud that we switched it off and just opened the patio door. The bangalow is located on ground floor and everyone was able to enter to our room.
Disappointed in Marina del Rey
I'm actually being kind. The positve was that the hotel was pretty and the rooms were spacious and clean. It has a nice but expensive restaurant.The pool was great. But-- we had many problems. We had originally requested a room for 3 people-two double beds(An adult and 2 kids) They gave us a room with one king size bed. No others were available. They did provide rollaway beds. The blanket on one was sticky and had to be replaced. Frequently no hot water and we had to call desk and then 15 minutes later it would get hot. We had two rooms and the toilets in both rooms backed up. We had a problem drawing the drapes because the track was broken. The elevators close on you as you're trying to get in. The air conditioner did not work well. The bathroom sink did not drain properly. I will say they tried to fix things when we called and were pleasant about the problems but I don't think I'd stay there again. Definitely not a *** hotel and now I know why.
Good value for the money
We spent three nights here the beginning of August. Had a bungalow room, rather dated, but a large, clean room with very comfortable beds. My kids loved the pool, the staff were very nice and a great location to visit all the LA tourist attractions. The free parking was an added bonus. Lots of good restaurants very close by. Would consider staying here again if in the LA area.
Great hotel
Arriving in Los Angeles after a long flight this hotel was great. Our room was very spacious and comfortable with a balcony which gave good views of the 4 July fireworks over the Marina. Tha staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good but expensive - we tried Eddies Diner across the road which was good value but the service was erratic and made for entertaining dining watching how different people coped with it.
If you are in LA for more than a few days the sightseeing trip may not be neccessary - we found it easy to find our way around and the $200 spent on the organised trip was a waste of money.
Good clean, basic, friendly accommodation
If you seeking luxury do not stay at this hotel. It offers clean affordable comfort and a friendly service. Free parking is an excellent bonus, and its location is great for travel to and from the key attractions.
Not a happy chappy
I have been trying to book accommodation at this hotel for over a month. Their email address keeps bouncing and they only answer 1 in 4 faxes.
In desperation I tried to book via their website ( which rather unhelpfully does not inform you of the booking terms & conditions). Whilst I have received an acknowledgement I have not received any confirmation notice or reply to my specific requests.
I then received a fax response to my earlier attempts suggesting I sent them a confirmation by fax, which I did. But true to form I have heard nothing since.I am now totally in the dark!! Do I have 1 or 2 bookings for the same period, or no booking at all?? I don't know because they are not answering. I understood the USA was famous for its levels of service and customer care standards.
I would send the hotel a copy of this but it wouldn't get through!!
Web site doesn't work
I tried to book a room on their web site.
a) wouldn't accept my credit card, although it recognized it as a valid card and visa account.
b) their cancellation (and any other fine print) is nowhere to be found.
gave up and found other sites that worked.
Take a Second Look at the Marina International at Marina Del Rey
Check-In person very nice and helpful. Check-Out person was terrible.
Curt and rude to other guests. However, in general, staff very friendly. Our room: Leaks from the bathroom ceiling, carpet leading to bathroom soaked. Had to deal with towels strategically positioned to avoid getting unwantedly wet. Room, however, was clean and relatively large. Elevator was out for while. Air conditioning/heating thermastat settings/changes requires a Phd in mechanical engineering. Old hotel with single pane windows allowing for lots of traffic noise especially when positioned near the main street. There is a big clock on top of the hotel which doesn't work. I think it kind of reflects what's happening inside.
The helpful Oliver.
My first night abroad in 26 years was spent at the Marina International. We were met at LAX by the lovely Oliver, the driver of the hotel transport and i can honestly say that as an introduction to the United States he was the best. We wanted to do typically American things - shop, go to Venice Beach, visit a diner etc and every bit of advice he gave us was exactly right. He was so helpful that he is the reason we are returning to the Marina International in July - him and the fact that the hotel is so close to Venice Beach, Edie's Diner and Santa Monica, has a swimming pool, the food was excellent and the beds very comfortable! A very good hotel indeed - both me and my daughter loved it.
Online Reservations Were Worthless
Four days before my trip I used the Online Reservation System from their website and recieved an e-mail back with a confirmation number. Fought my way through two hours of traffic only to be told that they had never heard of me and that they use 5 digit confirmation numbers, not 6 digit numbers. Of course they were booked up, and I was given the number of the accounting department to make sure I wasn't still going to be charged for the room since I didn't cancel it in time since I had, y'know, a confirmed reservation. I only had the one night off and I ended up having to just turn around and go home. The front desk clerk was nice, but otherwise, with Quality Control like that I'm glad its just a hotel and not a hospital.

Owning shares of Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) over the last few years has certainly been a frustrating experience. The market has been hitting all-time highs and Intel has been a serial disappointment. By and large, investors remain unconvinced that the world's greatest semiconductor manufacturer will return to days of greater glory. After all, the company has made essentially zero traction in mobile, and its core business remains at the helm of the struggling PC market. Despite the negativity, I've officially decided to give Intel at least one more year to show signs of improvement before it can be sold from my portfolio.
An uncanny correlation
The correlation between year-over-year changes in Intel's operating income and year-over-year changes in worldwide PC shipments is quite uncanny.
To boil it down, I'm waiting to see if the PC market -- yes, the much-hated PC market -- makes a comeback. By the end of next year, compelling and affordable PC designs based on Intel's cutting-edge processors, Haswell and Bay Trail, will have had ample time to gain traction in the marketplace. This holiday season, Intel expects entry-level Bay Trail touchscreen laptops to start at $299, 2-in-1 devices to cost as low as $349, and Haswell laptops to start at $299. In other words, Intel-powered devices will finally be able to compete on a more level playing field against mobile computing devices in terms of affordability, form factor, and battery life.
It's important to note that Intel's incredible operating income growth in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 were driven by the impact of the Great Recession and some very weak prior-year comparables.
The ace in the hole
Come April of next year, Microsoft will be ending support for its 12-year-old Windows XP operating system, essentially pressuring the XP-loving enterprise segment to upgrade its aging fleet of PCs. According to Gartner, PC shipments in the U.S. increased 3.5% in the third quarter, marking the second consecutive quarter of growth, suggesting that the enterprise segment may have begun upgrading their PCs ahead of the end-of-support deadline. Ultimately, this looming deadline could provide a nice tailwind for U.S. PC shipments in the coming quarters.
Cautiously optimistic
According to Intel, there are 500 million PCs that are four years or older in operation today. With Intel's big PC refresh about to saturate the market and give it its best opportunity to compete against lower-cost mobile computing devices, I'm waiting to see if the PC market rebounds over the next year. Judging by the trajectory of PC shipment volumes, it appears that the worst has subsided and I remain cautiously optimistic that next year could show signs of improvement for the PC market.
Should the PC market begin to find some footing next year, I'll be watching if Intel's operating income returns to growth on a year-over-year basis. At the end of the day, Intel had some pretty weak comparables in 2013 for it to succeed against in 2014, so if Intel can't achieve comparable growth, I'll be throwing in the towel for sure.

eptember 8, 1997
Steve Gallagher Walter Backstrom Ronald Braun, II
Water commisioner faces three in primary
by Andrew Walgamott
Attention recently focused on the Woodinville Water District drew three candidates into a race against Walter Backstrom, current holder of Board of Commissioners Position 4. One candidate offers plumbing experience, another is a cost analyst for a bank and the third is a young man willing to learn more about conservation.
Walter Backstrom
A commissioner for the Woodinville Water District since April, 1996, Backstrom was appointed to the board after it expanded from three to five positions.
Backstrom, 45, says among his goals, if retained, is the fight against water rate increases and the improvement of customer relations.
A social worker with the Department of Social and Health Services, Backstrom has lived in the area since 1991, serving on the Bothell Planning Commission for two years as well as the Evergreen Hospital Community Advisory Board.
Backstrom says he is proud to have been the first minority member of the Board of Directors of the Washington Association of Water and Sewer Districts. He plays down a recent state audit,which investigated his use of district funds and equipment, and recommended no further action. "That's water under the bridge. My goal is to have a working relationship with the commissioners and work with the rate payers and not let petty bickering get in the way," Backstrom said.
Backstrom lives in downtown Woodinville.
Ronald Braun II
Braun, 38, will bring two decades of plumbing experience to the district if he's elected. "I have been in plumbing for almost 20 years and am the only candidate with hands-on experience with the workings of potable water supply and sewer systems," Braun said.
"The first priority [I have if elected] is to keep the availability of a continuous potable water supply at reasonable rates," he said.
Braun adds that he would encourage water conservation and search for other water sources.
"Diversification of resources would help keep rates low in times of crisis," Braun said.
When asked what he would bring to the water district, he said, "Experience, asking the right questions, pressing the right person."
"I think it's time [the commissioners] go the extra mile for the people who pay their salary," he said.
Braun is married with four daughters. He has lived in the district for three years.
Steven Gallagher
A computer programmer for Seafirst Bank, Gallagher has been active in watchdogging government for the past eight years. One of his priorities, if elected, is to ensure that commissioners don't abuse district resources. "Incumbent Commissioner Walter Backstrom has shown very poor judgment in his personal use of Water District resources including a violation of state law in one case. As commissioner I would maintain the highest standard of ethics and would not tolerate the abuse of district resources by any commissioner," Gallagher says.
With an MBA from California State University, Gallagher has worked as a cost analyst which he says has given him experience collecting and analyzing data to improve operational and financial efficiency.
His priorities, if elected, include ensuring sufficient water supply to accommodate future growth and maintaining local control over water services.
Gallagher and his wife have lived in Woodinville the past 10 years. He is a member of the Hollywood Hill Association.
Richard J. Llufrio
A telesystems installation technician for a Kirkland communications company, Llufrio hopes to bring greater public awareness to water conservation efforts if elected commissioner.
Llufrio, 30, also wants more discussion between the district and its customers. "There needs to be communication between the public and the government offices to let people know why things are the way they are and keep them up to date on what we are doing to help," Llufrio said. He said working for Weyerhaueser as a logger in the Tacoma city watershed taught him ways to protect water resources.
On his run for office, he said it was time to get involved with the community. "Although I'm young, I hope that doesn't scare folks off," he said.
A graduate of Spanaway High School, Llufrio has lived in the district the past two years. He has done volunteer work for the YMCA as well as having coached and refereed youth basketball.
The water district serves 40,000 customers through nearly 11,800 hookups in a 40 square-mile area from the King-Snohomish County line south to N.E. 124th St. and from Kingsgate east to the Snoqualmie River.

Vagrant Ruminations of a Compulsive Traveler
Speaker's Corner: Peter Wortsman recalls a life of travel inspiration.
"He didn't really like travel, of course. He liked the idea of travel, and the memory of travel, but not travel itself ... Gustave's preferred form of travel was to lie on a divan and have the scenery carried past him."—Julian Barnes on Gustave Flaubert
Wrong Way
Midway through a long-distance drive, bleary-eyed and tired at twilight, rounding the cloverleaf ramp linking two highways, my eye latches onto a phantom sign off to the far left. Wrong Way, it warns, immediately ticking off a twinge of terror. Have I entered an exit ramp by mistake? Am I headed for imminent collision with a tractor-trailer or a tanker filled with nuclear fuel? Reason kicks in, and I realize that the warning is inscribed on the rear of a road sign located on the far side of a divider. It isn't meant for me. But relief gives way to annoyance: What's the point of a sign that is either irrelevant, or by the time you see it, is too late? Gallows humor, I suppose, to keep the motorist on his toes. But now that the seed of doubt is planted, I have to fight a powerful, perverse urge to swerve and cross the divide, and, come what may, take the Wrong Way.
Motion Sickness
I travel badly. Cars, forget it, unless I'm at the wheel, and even so I often need to stop. Long-distance buses strain my stomach and bladder capacity. Airplane delays try my patience; departures are frightening. I don't even try to understand the physics of flight but superstitiously mutter prayers and hum the national anthems of port of embarkation and port of call on takeoff and landing to placate transient and local spirits. Nausea and panic are part of the package. In-flight magazines beguile me with alternate destinations, airport travel posters confirm my doubt, disappointment is practically inevitable upon landing. I've made a big mistake and really ought to be headed someplace else. This, oddly enough, is the moment of truth. For while the prettiest locale, canyon or cathedral, soon enough loses its virgin sparkle, that lingering and disorienting feeling of having taken the wrong turn and being in the wrong place puts me on the spot and opens the way for what pilgrims call epiphany.
A Door to Nowhere
Leafing through an old family photo album from childhood, I come upon the snapshot of a bathhouse on the shore of Lake Thun in Switzerland. Two portals inscribed in faded Gothic lettering, one marked Männer (Men), the other Frauen (Women), command separate entry. We, the unseen subjects of the picture, pause, wary, unsure of whether to obey or tear off our clothes and charge through helter-skelter, notwithstanding the absence of uniformed attendants or other would-be bathers. The onset of puberty and the shame of secondary sex characteristics just then asserting themselves foment my insistence that we respect the signs. Passing through different doorways, my brother and I to the left, mother and sister to the right, we immediately find ourselves reunited on the far side. It takes the blink of a camera shutter for the implied partition to crumble and the ludicrous truth to reveal itself: This is a bathhouse without walls. While I can't recall what the lake was like or if we even went for a swim that day, all that remains is the tenuous tingle of passing through that door to nowhere: essence of travel.
Border Crossings
All other avenues of escape being closed, my late beloved father makes a sport of fate, fleeing his native Austria in the wake of the advancing German army, first into Czechoslovakia and then into Poland, catching one of the last boats out of Danzig for London en route to New York, the long way around. He has been celebrating displacement ever since. Over the crest of the waves, beyond the thin line that cuts blue from blue, he points, as we walk, hand in hand, ankle-deep along the shore. "We came by boat," he says, and I wonder why people are always crossing borders and bodies of water, why my grandfather wrapped his possessions in a rubber bag and swam across a river, and when will I get to do the same? Some refugees cling with a fierce resolve to their new habitats, nevermore budging an inch. Not so my parents, who instead feel compelled to forestall any future forced expulsions by vaccinating themselves and their offspring with healthy doses of deliberate escape. Our old car is dubbed "ein Kilometerfresser" (a kilometer glutton), which is how I come to think of myself. The atlas is our bible. Passports are never allowed to lapse. Our heroes are Odysseus, Sinbad and Arthur Frommer, who knows how to travel light.
Elsewhere Beckons
At 7, I am seated in the holding cell of Miss O'Donahue's second grade class, our teacher a licensed sadist who won't let my classmate Stephen Long out to do his business before the bell and subsequently keeps him sitting in it all day. I myself have to go badly but don't dare ask lest I be made to share the smelly shame of Stephen Long. With aching bowels I stare at the clock above the blackboard encased in its protective metal mask, as if time itself were kept locked up, when a knock at the door makes all heads turn. In steps a dapper stranger in a dark striped suit who turns out to be my father, though he might as well be the Messiah for he's come to deliver me from Miss O'Donahue. Back from a business trip overseas, his first visit to the Old Country since it sent him packing, he can't wait to communicate the bittersweet pleasure of return. I am most impressed by the miniature knights and medieval siege and torture equipment he brings us back as gifts and his lyrical evocation of the taste of German sausage.
Unreal Realities
The New York World's Fair of 1964, a hodgepodge of inter- and multinational displays, affords me my first bona fide whiff of the world. I am particularly taken by two attractions: the Belgian Village and the Coca-Cola pavilion. The former, a cobblestoned copy of the tiny town of Durbuy in the Ardennes Mountains, improves upon the original, and is reduced to a florid and rather contrived imitation of its replica, souvenir stands included. As for the Coca Cola pavilion, a microcosm of the world as a consumer paradise, in every clime of which you can quench your thirst with "the real thing," artifice likewise name-brands reality. No woodland trail have I since hiked, but that the natural forest bed fails to bring to mind that soft green simulated moss carpet with its canned sound effects, courtesy of Coca Cola.
In Praise of Ripe Tomatoes
Miracles do happen, though never when and where you expect, and certainly not in prescribed sites like Fatima, Jerusalem, Assisi or Lourdes. I who am ordinarily repelled by the unwholesome odor of religion, the suffocating fumes of candle wax and frankincense meant no doubt to simulate the passage of the Holy Ghost, do once indeed sniff eternity in a church in the former Yugoslavia, where my wife and I happen to be honeymooning in '87, oblivious to the fast-approaching winds of war. No suffering cloves of Christ, no sacrosanct essence of martyrdom do I smell, but the fertile scent of mercy, an olfactory cornucopia of nature's bounty. It's Mary's perfume that makes my knees buckle under, me a Jew, constitutionally disinclined to genuflect before the god of the goyim or his immaculate mother! But I can't help myself. "This must be a place where lovers bow and barren women come to bare their hearts and fill their wombs," I whisper in awe to my wife, herself a non-believing atheist of Catholic culture. Nostrils twitching with the fragrance of ripeness unplucked, I comprehend the mystic meaning of the medieval cult of the Virgin, (more recently rekindled by new sightings in a village nearby) when all of a sudden the flimsy bundles I am clasping disintegrate in my hands, East Bloc brown wrapping paper being a poor prophylactic for the ooze of fruit. The source of my revelation, I realize, is no slow swinging thurible wielded by repressed priest or pimply choir boy, but the overripe plums and tomatoes we bought at the open-air market just outside the church, unintentionally crushed and vaporized by my innocent grip. So that's why this place is famed for the essence of its fermented plums, I fathom in a flash, and why the same word designates both kinds of spirits: the ethereal kind you sense but can't see and the liquid kind that makes you see the unseen. When later we picnic in the country on what's left along with some bread, even a rabid carnivore like myself can't resist the red flesh and sweet nectar, nature's aphrodisiac. Our firstborn is the fruit of that revelation.
The Flying Unicorn
The memory of travel invariably arouses a desire for more. Whereas carnal knowledge is short-lived, travel keeps it coming, forever dangling the possibility of more before your sated gaze. Boats and planes are traditionally given female names, of which advertisers take full advantage—FLY ME! SAIL ME!—though I suppose those big bodies in motion can just as well double as floating and flying phalluses. When in the soft-core movie version of the French erotic novel, "Emanuelle," the airborne heroine first stimulates herself into a pleasant frenzy and subsequently succumbs to the probing fingers of the stranger seated beside her, she is fulfilling the universal fantasy of the traveler. (The book chapter, by the way, is entitled "The Flying Unicorn," an offhanded reference to the legendary lore that the only way to trap a unicorn is to lure it into a virgin's lap.) Since time immemorial, travel has stirred the glands of virtual encounter. Shipwrecked and naked, Odysseus services Nausikaa and beds down Circe without making a pig of himself. Aeneas dallies with Dido. Marco Polo couples with the comely wives of accommodating Kamuls and Kaindus.
Back in the days of single solo travel, I myself once faced a memorable dilemma, pinned in on a wide-bodied Boeing between a French woman of a waning but enticing middle-aged beauty to my left, and a tantalizing Pakistani teen to my right, the latter ritually painted from head to toe. "I wonder if it will please my husband," frets my French neighbor, fondling a bottle of perfume purchased duty free, whereupon I gallantly propose to offer my humble opinion, on her husband's behalf. She smiles and dabs her wrist. "C'est bon, très bon!" I whisper, nostrils aflutter. And just then the plane drops several feet, our stomachs rise and thighs collide. We may never come out of this turbulence alive, I reason, considering my options à la Emanuelle, as I feel a head thump against my right shoulder. The lovely Pakistani has fallen asleep with me as her pillow. I sit out the flight frozen in place, gripped by conflicting stimuli. And when finally Miss Pakistan wakes up and her scandalized companions tell her how she let her head fall on the shoulder of the young gentleman to her left, she shrugs and smiles: "I'm sure the gentleman didn't mind!" Indeed he did not. As to Madame, an almost imperceptible smile of complicity and regret passes between us in the welcoming crowd as she looks up from her husband's embrace—"What's that scent?" I hear him ask. The vivid memory of what might have been is relived every time I board a Boeing and hear the click of a seat-belt buckle.
A Fleeting Fix of Elsewhere
Ask me why I travel, and I'll tell you that I'm ever on the hunt for extreme particularity of place. New Jersey or Senegal, I don't care where, as long as it's virgin terrain to my eye: towering gray smokestacks or red termitaries, ugly or beautiful, even Coney Island's rickety old Wonder Wheel will do for a whirl. A travel junky, I'm lying, of course (though the lie is essential to the illusion I'm after). All I really want is to dissolve in a fleeting fix of elsewhere and get lost.
6 Comments for Vagrant Ruminations of a Compulsive Traveler
Jason Trask 09.24.08 | 9:41 PM ET
Another great travel piece by Mr. Wortsman, who to my mind is the Champion of Elsewhere (what with his fresh eye and fresh pen).
Janice Ellsworth 09.27.08 | 11:38 AM ET
Wow!!!!! Such writing!
Tim Patterson 10.02.08 | 5:12 AM ET
Incredibly lyrical, beautiful writing of a sort that doesn't show up much online. Loved it.
Benton Kingsley 10.13.08 | 12:24 AM ET
Wow this is the first time I have felt like my compulsion to move around the world is okay and that dull boredom that seeps in after the "sparkling virginity" has faded is okay also.
Robbie Schemenaur 10.26.08 | 4:10 PM ET
It would seem that I am about to be in the minority, but then I usually am. Poor Mr. Wortsman…so full of cynicism. Had he kept the ideals of the first line of the last paragraph I could have respected him as a true vagabond traveler. However, he's just a bum. My spouse & I work hard so that we can afford to feed our travel addiction every 2 - 3 years. Ours, however, is a quest to absorb history, cultures, architecture, attitudes of citizens, and the pure joy of traversing what is new territory for us. Of course, when we return we share our "adventures" with friends and family, and as a result many have arranged their own adventures and returned with tales of their own. THAT is what traveling is about. It should not be a drudgery but a joy! If it is not…stay at home and read about it.
John M. Edwards 11.18.08 | 10:40 PM ET
Hi Peter:
You are certainly, peradventure, a stylish master of the bon mot, but I take umbrage at the idea that, within the genre of travel, life is elsewhere. We move in the here and now. That's Ayers Rock right in front of me, red dust in my eyes. Our dreams of travel, or, as you say, the "fleeting fix" often come true, not by dismaying over distance but by laughing on location.

It started out as me going to this ladies house to get trampled just by her. She is in her mid 30's good looking blonde. As soon as I got to the door I was told to get on the floor where all men belong. When I first got there she was barefoot and I thought no big deal easy, well I was wrong. She reached behind the couch and pulled out a pair of rollerblades. The first place she did was come up and hold on to a chair and she put both feet across my face the wheels left some good marks. She told me to start licking the wheels and she would move so I did but I guess not good enough because she took and twisted the break on my tounge. Next thing i hear is she calls out for Emily. Emily is a fictional name wont give out her name, however this is her daughter who is eighteen and is wearing some big red high heels. Thick sole you can see about three of the toes the rest are covered. She came down and just starting giving it to my bare stomach, she just broke up with her boyfriend and she was pretending i was him is what she said. Emily kept twisting on my stomach with the heels while mom was on my head with rollerblades. By the way Emily is short about 130 pounds good looking takes after mom. After a few minutes mom and Emily switched places and shoes. Mom put on some soccer cleats and Emily grabbed her sketcher tennishoes which i thought would be easy to take. However both of them stood on my head with one foot. I had to clean both of there shoes several times after they went to walk in the mud. If I didnt do good enough they both would stomp on my tounge. They spit gum out on me as well as sunflower seeds and whatever else they could find. After cleaning those they switched shoes again. Both of them put on a matching pair of doc martin boots and gave my stomach balls and head an abusive trampleing. They used the doc martins for about an hour and never got off of course i had to lick them clean as well. The last thing they did was take off there shoes and the socks they put on to wear with there tennishoes and socker cleet. THen I had to lick clean all the sweat they got on there feet from there long workout trampleing me. There feet were not real smelly but they had a little bit of a sweat smell which was perfect.
Sorry I am not A writer. THis is a true story. If You Can give me some hints on writing i would appreciate them
