Electricity / Electronics for Dummies
Please help me understand electricity and electronics. I have read the water analogy numerous times but I still can't quite grok it. Like "Ummm, Where does the water go and does it evaporate?" I have started tinkering with a Raspberry Pi and would love to build more complicated circuits with capacitors and transistors. [more inside]
Looking for a public radio research entity.
Is there a college or university or blogger or non-profit (other than a CPB or NPR affiliated organization) that examines the operation or behavior of public radio stations? Not necessarily another news organization but something along the lines of the Electronic Freedom Foundation - like a watchdog (other than itself) that insures its coverage is fair and its function is ethical? The publication "Current" says it is independent from public radio as "Stars and Stripes" says it is independent from the military. Are there others?
How can I limit the current output of my TENS unit to 25 mA?

Detective/Mystery Novels in Current Day New York?
A little while back I stumbled upon a detective novel (Losers Live Longer) that takes place in 2009 NYC and utilizes actual city streets, restaurants, bars, etc. The writing was pretty average, but the book kept me constantly aware of the protagonist's location (oftentimes cross-streets). The real-world geography of areas I knew well really sucked me into the world and engaged me on another level than the narrative alone. Are there any other good detective or mystery novels that use post-2000s (or, better yet, post-2010) New York accurately? [more inside]

Is our house killing our MacBook chargers?
In the past year or so, around four MacBook chargers have basically stopped working (I've lost count as this includes a couple of old chargers from early MacBooks we had lying around), all in mysterious fashion. Generally they overheat more than I think is normal, and often they switch to the dreaded, "Not charging" status. On one of them, the rubber insulation melted completely then buckled. I am wondering whether it's just a coincidence that so many chargers have died, or if the wiring in our old house could be to blame? [more inside]

International Relations 101
I read the news (BBC) daily and pick up The Economist once in awhile (it's expensive!). I'm curious and want to know what is going on in the world, but most of the time I can't put anything into perspective and understand what this means for the rest of the world or the possible impact on my life. For example, I'm not really sure why Bush started a war in Afghanistan, or the repercussions of the Gaza flotilla attack. I like how The Economist will analyze issues and say "X happened. This is bad because Y might happen now." or "A is mad because B did this in the past." in short, up front sentences. When I try to look people/events up on Wikipedia or Google, it's overwhelming because there is TOO much information to read, and I'm constantly having to look up more and more and this easily turns into hours of reading and 60 tabs open on my browser. How can I get a general grasp of international relations? [more inside]

I can't get my head around how microchips work.
How do microchips work?
I understand it at a very basic level. I know that when you apply current to a semiconductor, it becomes conductive, and that this closes the gate in a transistor. By opening or closing the right gates, you're able to do basic counting and logical operations.
Here though, my conceptual model totally falls apart. Because try as I might, I can't get my head around exactly what it is that controls the current going to the semiconductor in the gate in the first place. How does the microprocessor know to open or close a particular gate? It seems like if it already knew to open or close a gate, then the operation has already been done. It's like you'd need another microprocessor controlling the current within the first microprocessor, and so an and so on back to some omniscient prime mover.

'Warm Bodies' finds charm in zombie love
Being one of the walking dead would be incredibly tedious, especially if you possessed self-awareness. For R (Nicholas Hoult), it means spending every day ambling around an airport with no idea how he ended up there or who he is. (He thinks his first name starts with R, but he isn't entirely sure.)
In the slightly unconventional romantic comedy "Warm Bodies," R is a zombie unsatisfied with his station in life. He can't sleep or dream and, outside of grunting, can't speak. To survive, he must feed on humans. The odds may be against him, but as he informs viewers in voice-over, R yearns for something more. »Read Full Article

Sibelius declined to let someone jump the line, but perhaps Summers has a name of someone who should die instead, bearing in mind that an adult receiving an adult lung would have a better chance of survival than a child receiving a modified adult (rather than straight-transplant pediatric) organ.
Sibelius did order the policy reinvestigated and pointed out that if more people became donors, the problem would be less urgent. If you aren't a registered donor, you've got nothing to say against her position.
it's unfortunate when there is no good answer. the o-haters come out on both sides of every issue.
The issue at hand is someone somewhere decided that 12 years old is the cutoff to receive adult transplants. The kid is 10 years old, and won't make it to 11 years old without a transplant. I think the kid has weeks to live. There are those receiving these adult transplants that have years to live. So that's what this whole issue is about: why are we giving organs to someone who can wait when someone who can't is being denied those organs because of an arbitrary number?
Even a reduced shot at success is better than a zero shot chance at success. That arbitrary limit should be eliminated, not bypassed in this one case. The need should be based on the individual case and severity of the patient, not the age.
But the point of this toon is it brings up the risk of having an arbitrary panel managed by the government deciding who lives and who dies. It gives life to the moniker: Death Panels. While not entirely fair or accurate, it's not a stretch of the imagination to see that fear coming to fruition.
You miss the point, of course. Lung transplants are very difficult, and the 50% survival point is only 6 years for adults. It's even worse for children, and worse yet when an adult lung is transplanted into a child.
Medical experts have examined the evidence and deemed 12 years as the youngest age at which a recipient can receive an adult lung. To suggest a political appointee should arbitrarily overrule medical advice is asinine.
The problem I have with that is the political appointee answers to no-one, and can make arbitrary decisions. Not only that, but the focus of this appointee is to save money, not lives. Given the track record of this particular appointee, I highly doubt she's going to take all opinions in making these rules, and rather cherry pick those that fit her mindset. This is the danger of having anyone of any political bent in this kind of position.
"The problem I have with that is the political appointee answers to no-one, and can make arbitrary decisions. Not only that, but the focus of this appointee is to save money, not lives.

This is the danger of having anyone of any political bent in this kind of position."
Then you obviously didn't read her position regarding this one case. Its not that she doesn't want to, she's not a doctor and advises that doctors should make that decision, not politicians. Plainbill is right on this. I would also like to add that an adult lung is simply too large for a child's chest cavity, unless of course you opt to cut up a lung to her size, which decreases her odds for survival. I don't know why Summers would even politicize a medical decision.
@d_legendary1 Demands Dr.C's Release
The problem is that this child's doctor is saying that it should be done. So who's more right? The doctor who is utilized for the policy review, or the child's physician who is fighting for this child's life? If this were your child, which one would hold more value to you?
And yes, I recognize an adult lung is too large for a child. And yes, I recognize it increases the risk of failure. But, it at least gives the child a chance. I look at it this way: A 5% chance is better than a 0% chance.
And Summers is bringing up the point of this is just the beginning of situations like this. This kind of issue, where a policy is in place because of a decision made in DC, is going to be a lightning rod for the PPACA. And it's only going to get worse as more and more decisions are handed down from Sibelius and the HHS regarding policy. It's only going to get worse, mark my words.
Transplants can run into the millions. My daughter's father-in-law got a liver, and it was $2.8 million, and he only required it because for decades he ignored doctor's orders, and trusted to Jesus to heal him.
CF is a terrible disease, and I've known several folks who died of it, after years of "very difficult" life regimens. Transplants have improved, but are still not a "guarantee" of anything.
The real sickness in our lawmaking is too many politicians illegally trying to practice medicine, and of course brilliant folks like Rush and Hannity certainlly have the needed expertise, right?
The worry, here, is that someone at the top of the HHS is dictating what a human life is worth, monetarily. That's really the biggest fear. "Is he worth $35,000? Nope, he's too old, not enough taxable years left in 'em. Denied." Don't think it can't happen? Coraryan is a perfect example of that review process. How can someone be too old to protect their life? My father is 63 this year. I hate to think of some bureaucrat deciding what medical care he receives, based on cost. It's a travesty.

read the posts under topic Securities Class Action Services and follow up with the law firms listed when you do the simple search badbilly suggests - [The SCAS 50 for 2011] - nothing to lose and plenty to gain if those virtually given-away-assets are returned to the company.
I asked my broker to look into what is going on re sale of assets to Belrose...... He said he could find nothing in the public record to indicate any sale... Something screwy?
You could point your "broker" to secDOTgov, company filings, enter ENZN. There he could find (assuming he has "reading skills" on his resume, and an internet connection) the 8-K filed 2013-05-06, or he could check p.5 of the 10-Q filed 2013-05-10.
But I don't know why I bothered to post this, because it doesn't sound like your broker is interested, does it?

Skip to comments.Meant to Be (Happy Birthday Bilbo Baggins!)
Posted on 09/22/2010 11:20:02 AM PDT by NYer
On September 22, 1290 Bilbo Baggins was born. The year given for his birth, of course, is in Shire Reckoning: The Shire being that happy part of Middle-Earth inhabited by those sensible and unpretentious folk called Hobbits.
To that salt-of-the-earth Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, there comes one day an amazing summons. The call to participate in an adventure. And thereby hangs a tale and indeed a trilogy.
In the course of his adventure, Bilbo will come into possession of the One Ring of power. On September 22, 1401, his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo will bequeath the ring to his nephew Frodo, who will bear the ring into places of forbidding evil in order to free the peoples of Middle Earth from its bondage.
Groaning under his burden, with the weight of the world on his small shoulders, Frodo cannot help but ask why such evil has come to his time. Why did his uncle find the ring? Why is he, conscious to the depths of his being of his inadequacy, the one who must bear the burden of it? The one who must undertake the perilous mission to destroy it? And the answer is given to him by Gandalf: I can put it no plainer than by saying that Bilbo was meant to find the ring…. In which case you were also meant to have it. And that may be an encouraging thought."
Bilbo was meant to be born, meant to find the ring. Frodo was meant to be and to be the ring-bearer. They were meant to engage the challenges of their time.
But meant by whom?
We might glibly answer that it was all meant by the author of the story, J.R.R. Tolkien, but in the context of the story itself, there is certainly another answer. There is a Providence, there is an unseen Benevolence. To be sure there is an unseen malevolence too — for even the dark Lord Sauron is himself a mere servant. But it is Goodness that is the source of all and hence the source of being and of meaning.
Tolkien considered himself to be a sub-creator and the act of myth-making to be sub-creation. If telling a story is sub-creation, then Creation itself must be a kind of story. And so it is. It is a story with an Author, and it is a story with meaning.
When we wonder why such evils have come to our time and why we are the ones who must bear the particular burdens of our world. When we feel keenly our inadequacy and smallness — then we should remember that we are meant to be.
And that is certainly an encouraging thought.
Bilbo Baggins' Birthday Speech
All the one hundred and forty-four guests expected a pleasant feast; though they rather dreaded the after-dinner speech of their host.... He was liable to drag in bits of what he called poetry; and sometimes, after a glass or two, would allude to the absurd adventures of his mysterious journey....
After the feast... came the Speech. Most of the company were, however, now in a tolerant mood, at that delightful stage which they called 'filling up the corners'....
My dear People, began Bilbo.... Bilbo left his place and went and stood on a chair under the illuminated tree. The light of the lanterns fell on his beaming face.... They could all see him standing, waving one hand in the air, the other was in his trouser-pocket.
My dear Bagginses and Boffins, he began again; and my dear Tooks and Brandybucks, and Grubbs, and Chubbs, and Burrowses, and Hornblowers, and Bolgers, Bracegirdles, Goodbodies, Brockhouses and Proudfoots. 'ProudFEET!' shouted an elderly hobbit from the back of the pavilion....
Proudfoots, repeated Bilbo. Also my good Sackville-Bagginses that I welcome back at last to Bag End. Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday: I am eleventy-one today! 'Hurray! Hurray! Many Happy Returns!' they shouted.... This was the sort of stuff they liked: short and obvious.
I hope you are all enjoying yourselves as much as I am. Deafening cheers.... Cries of Yes (and No). Noises of trumpets and horns.... Indeed, in one corner some of the young Tooks and Brandybucks, supposing Uncle Bilbo to have finished (since he had plainly said all that was necessary), now... began a merry dance-tune. Master Everard Took and Miss Melilot Brandybuck got on a table and with bells in their hands began to dance the Springle-ring: a pretty dance, but rather vigorous.
But Bilbo had not finished. Seizing a horn from a youngster near by, he blew three loud hoots.... I shall not keep you long, he cried. Cheers from all the assembly. I have called you all together for a Purpose..... There was almost silence....
Indeed, for Three Purposes! First of all, to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all, and that eleventy-one years is too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits. Tremendous outburst of approval.
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.... There was some scattered clapping, but most of them were trying to work it out and see if it came to a compliment.
Secondly, to celebrate my birthday. Cheers again. I should say: OUR birthday. For it is, of course, also the birthday of my heir and nephew, Frodo. He comes of age and into his inheritance today. Some perfunctory clapping by the elders.... Together we score one hundred and forty-four. Your numbers were chosen to fit this remarkable total: One Gross, if I may use the expression. No cheers.... Many of his guests, and especially the Sackville-Bagginses, were insulted, feeling sure they had only been asked to fill up the required number....
It is also, if I may be allowed to refer to ancient history, the anniversary of my arrival by barrel at Esgaroth on the Long Lake; though the fact that it was my birthday slipped my memory on that occasion. I was only fifty-one then, and birthdays did not seem so important. The banquet was very splendid, however, though I had a bad cold at the time, I remember, and could only say 'thag you very buch'. I now repeat it more correctly: Thank you very much for coming to my little party. Obstinate silence.... Why couldn't he stop talking and let them drink his health? But Bilbo... paused for a moment.
Thirdly and finally, he said, I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT. He spoke this last word so loudly and suddenly that everyone sat up who still could. I regret to announce that though, as I said, eleventy-one years is far too short a time to spend among you this is the END. I am going. I am leaving NOW. GOOD-BYE!

For giggles, youtube that Leonard Nimoy song.
Leonard Nimoy: The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.
Least we forget J.R.R. Tolkien was a combat veteran of WWI.
I've been to Hobbiton (the site in New Zealand where the village scenes were filmed). Went there with a local friend before the site was (finally) opened to the public.
Those hobbit-hole doors, dissapointingly, lead to nothing but concrete retaining walls. The indoor scenes were filmed in a studio somewhere.
On the other hand, the trees there (Monterrey pines and Douglas firs) were unbelievably enormous. They were as big around as giant Sequoia trees.
I consider him to be one of the most remarkable artists of the 20th century, and I consider LOTR to be the very best book of the 20th century. Two hundred years from now, people will still be reading it. Truman Capote? Not so much.
It's Frodo's birthday too.
In any event, whatever 1401 was on that planet, it was not our earth. We don't have orks or elves or wizards or the geographic features and land masses drawn up by Tolkien.
quote—Its Frodos birthday too.—end qote
September 22 is also the day that Frodo set out of his Quest!
I have a 33 1/3rd of that. The whole album should be put into the transporter and set on wide dispersal.
When I was 12 or 13 my Mom let me have a Birthday Party for Bilbo. The cake was great!
Yes I agree with you about LOTR. In fact I postponed taking a master's degree comphrensive exam by six months becuase I started reading LOTR a few months before the exam was scheduled.
quote-September 22 is also the day that Frodo set out of his Quest!—end quote
sorry, I typed too fast-I meant, "on" his Quest!
Uhh, it's not a different planet, Middle Earth is planet Earth.
Dear friend, LOTR is a work of fiction, not fact.
Yep frodo and bilbo have the same birthday as me.
Loved the books, the movies and this post!
Middle Earth wasn't a different planet. It's a fantasy EARTH. In fact, much of what passes for fantasy literature today, marks its beginning with LOTR. Tolkien was a GENIUS!
No, our world, in a different age. Not long after it had been made round.
You're welcome.
One can see Tolkien's war experience in the battle scenes of the book. I've always been struck by his focus on the men, their code of honor, their willingness to die for their freedom and their comrades, rather than focusing on the details of battle.
He'd been there. He knew what mattered was the way you met your fate.
For me, Sam is the true hero of LOTR and Eomer is a close second. Theoden is my third favorite hero. I cry every time I read the passage when Eomer and Aragorn meet on the battle field and pledge their lives to their friendship and honor.
I didn't know that! Interesting!
"It's a trap!".
I knew a comment like that would draw the LOTR geeks out of the woodwork. It worked!
So then their year 1400 WAS different than ours. And hence, the premise of there being some kind of birthday makes no sense.
So then their year 1400 WAS different than ours. And hence, the premise of there being some kind of birthday makes no sense.
No sense?
It's fiction. There doesn't need to be any connection with the real world calendar. It's a birthday, taking place in a particular point in Tolkein's imaginary prehistory.
In the year 1400, there was no middle earth and the planet had been round for a long time.
In the year 1400, there was no middle earth and the planet had been round for a long time. Even if you accept the premise that these things happened on our planet, they didn't happen when Constantinople was still holding off Muslim invaders.
I've read the Trilogy through 16 times. Spent nearly a year learning the feanorian letters and writings following Tolkien's letters and commentaries. Absolutely fascinating. This man was a literary genius. Too many heart touching moments in the book to point out just one. The Hobbit is a cute prequel to the trilogy. I love when he first meets the dwarfs.
1290 of the Third Age of Middle Earth.
...of course that's "Shire Reckoning"...Otherwise 2890.
I'm impressed! I have both The Hobbit and LOTR in leather bound and boxed editions. Not surprisingly, I also have the film version.
Did you watch the beatification mass on Sunday? Raymond Arroyo showed a clip from his visit earlier this year, to Birmingham. Tolkien spent a lot of time as a child at the Oratory which may well have inspired him. Behind Arroyo, were two towers, quite visible from that site.
I didn't get the chance to watch on Sunday. My busy day with church and family. Hopefully will get to see a repeat if they show it. Tolkien was a very devout man. It showed in his life and in his writings.
Have you read the Silmarillion?
I have the book but (embarrassingly) have never read it.

FERRISBURGH — Although a string of appeals and court cases may show that not everyone in Ferrisburgh is lovin' it, the new McDonald's Restaurant that will complete Champlain Oil Company's new Route 7 development should be up and running next week, said COCO President Tony Cairns on Monday.
When the doors open under the golden arches, it will finish Cairns' and COCO's roughly seven-year effort to build a gas station, convenience store and restaurant on the former home of the Ferrisburgh Roadhouse and Burdick's Country Kitchen.

FERRISBURGH — A year after watching a budget defeat for the first time in recent memory, the Ferrisburgh Central School board has adopted a $3.62 million budget proposal for the 2015-2016 school year that would, if approved, increase spending over the current level by 2.97 percent.
FERRISBURGH — Ferrisburgh residents in March will be asked to approve a 2015-2016 town budget that calls for the first recent significant spending increase, a 5.6 percent hike to about $1.77 million.
Line items pushing spending higher include increased hours for town office workers, an additional road crew employee, a deficit from the current year that must be retired, and projected higher insurance and road resurfacing costs.
FERRISBURGH — The Ferrisburgh selectboard will work through the Legislature to soften Act 250's new anti-sprawl Criterion 9L, said board chairwoman Loretta Lawrence last week after a board meeting.
FERRISBURGH — A neighbor is requesting that the Vermont Public Service Board (PSB) reconsider the Certificate of Public Good the board issued to the Basin Harbor Club for a 150-kilowatt solar array at 4800 Basin Harbor Road.
FERRISBURGH — A recently awarded state grant will help a Ferrisburgh slaughterhouse stay in business and preserve its dozen jobs while it seeks to expand into a new, larger plant in Middlebury, said Middlebury Business Development Director Jamie Gaucher.
The Ferrisburgh selectboard this summer agreed at Gaucher's suggestion to apply for a $25,000 Regional Economic Development Grant from the Vermont Department of Buildings and General Services. Those economic development grants are intended to improve infrastructure to help a business in a town.
MIDDLEBURY — The board of directors of Lake Champlain Maritime Museum (LCMM) announces the appointment of J. Michael "Mike" Smiles as the museum's new executive director. Smiles assumes the role from Erick Tichonuk, who is stepping down from the position. He begins the leadership role on Jan. 5.
FERRISBURGH — After a second potential buyer pulled out, the Ferrisburgh selectboard has put the town's 34.91-acre parcel next to Vergennes back on the market, four years after the board originally sought a buyer.
Town officials remain upset with the Act 250 process and a new law that prompted auto dealer Tom Denecker to walk away from a $350,000 deal to buy the land.
FERRISBURGH — Pointing to the cost of and uncertain result for his ongoing Act 250 application, Denecker Chevrolet owner Tom Denecker recently told the town of Ferrisburgh he was giving up on his $350,000 purchase of town-owned land at the junction of Routes 7 and 22A.
In a Nov. 6 letter to the town, Denecker said his decision was a result of his inability to satisfy the "conditions to close" contingency in his purchase-and-sale agreement with Ferrisburgh.
FERRISBURGH — Issues of scenic impact and traffic came to the forefront at an Oct. 23 Act 250 hearing in the Ferrisburgh town office building that was devoted to Chevrolet dealer Tom Denecker's plan to consolidate his two existing locations at a new site, the junction of Routes 7 and 22A.

Blue Ox Announces Base Plate
Blue Ox sent this out this morning:
We are now offering a baseplate for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited, the baseplate part number is bx1135 and the wire kit recommended is bx8848.
It's not on their website yet, but there are two pictures on their Facebook page:
Re: Blue Ox Announces Base Plate
I have the new Blue OX baseplate which was installed December 10-13, while I was travelling. It replaces the tow hooks which were on the '14 I purchased when my '07 GC had problems during a trip. It is a sweet system.
If anyone is switching over I suggest you retain the bayonnet mounts from an old unit and ad shackles to them if you still want an alternative hook setup.
So you already got the baseplate for the TH?

Pros: 1080p IPS, screen size and viewing angles, color needed no adjustments. HDMI, VGA, and DVI ports on the back. Cheap price @ $139.
Cons: No vesa mounts, which I don't use anyways but would always like to have that option if I decide to in the future. Monitor arrived in good condition ship despite the box it came in. Preset settings are really bad at least for me with my laptop setup using vga. Had to tinker a lot with the settings to get it where I feel comfortable with. I felt that Windows 7 color calibration did not do a good job calibrating using the buttons on the monitor. So I adjusted brightness and contrast on the monitor to full 100% and used my graphics cards amd catalysts software to adjust gamma, brightness and contrast. Seems to work better with Windows 7 calibration software. Now I can set the brightness lower to get better blacks. Screen is readable without giving headaches and eyestrain.

Although the air bag system was designed to suppress the side curtain air bag under this scenario, Ford dealers will reprogram the vehicle's software to deploy the air bag whether the passenger front seat is occupied or not.

Eastside Catholic's Boyd earns spot on Washington Nationals scout team
Matt Boyd, a Mercer Island resident and Eastside Catholic baseball player, has had a busy year with numerous regional all-star team selections, helping to guide the Crusaders through an undefeated league schedule and verbally committing to play at Oregon State University. Whats next? His senior year of high school.
Baseball takes up a lot of my time, said Boyd. But I wouldnt give up something I love.
Boyds accomplishments have recently culminated in being chosen as the opening day starter for the Washington Nationals scout team.
My dream has always been to play in the majors, said Boyd.
That dream may come true, but Boyd would only be the second Islander in nearly two decades to accomplish the feat. But as a left-handed pitcher who stands at 6-foot-3, the Crusader has some intangibles that make scouts drool.
The success that Boyd has seen has not changed the lifelong Islanders work ethic or demeanor.
I work on my game every day, said Boyd, whose nickname at Eastside Catholic is Mayor Matt because of his likable personality. I love playing baseball.
Boyd first started playing baseball when he was 5 years old. By the time he was 6, he was playing on an 8-year-old select team.
Ever since I could walk, I had a bat in my hand, said Boyd, whose father, Kurt, is the pitching coach at Mercer Island High School and was one of the top softball players in the United States. My dad and I have played catch ever since I can remember.
Boyd has grown up playing on Mudville select teams with Mercer Island friends and neighbors.
Most of those teams were from Mercer Island, and we didnt play much on the Island, said Boyd.
By the time he entered high school, he was playing with friends and with his dad as pitching coach during his freshman year at Mercer Island High School. But Boyd and his family decided to make a change, enrolling at Eastside Catholic for academic considerations.
It doesnt matter what uniform you wear you give it your all, said Boyd. My dad gave me the passion for this game.
A trip earlier this year to the Dominican Republic gave Boyd perspective on his success.
It made me more thankful for what I have in general, said Boyd. Some people dont even have the basic necessities of life.
In addition to baseball, Boyd said that his faith and commitment to his church has shaped his life and passions.
Those passions led a young Crusaders team to a league title.
This past spring, Boyd had a huge influence on his high school teams success and got noticed for his work. He was selected by reporters to the first team as a Class 3A all-star pitcher, earned an All-State second team selection by the coaches and was named first team all-Metro for first base and pitcher.
We went on an 18-game win streak, and we felt like we couldnt lose, said Boyd. We know how good it feels to be No. 1, and we know how bad it felt to lose. That will help in 2009.
Boyd is not slacking in the classroom either, making the honor roll during the first semester of last year and earning the American Literature Student of the Month Award, also known as the Nordberg Award, in October 2007.

Sentiment: Strong Buy
Based on those numbers, where could we see the pps go next year, Kate? Btw, the estimate is greatly appreciated!
I calculated the profit based on the information I got from the internet.
Perhaps within a container there are less bottles???????
But Agnes mentioned 3 containers, and a 4+ containers arrived in December....
Profit/bottle???? 5 $ ???? seems to be realistic for me.
I will sell my stocks between 0.1 & 0.5 $.

When I booked this hotel it says pet friendly it did not say there was additional fees for pets also the hotel charged my credit card for the rooms even though I already paid through you very rude owner and very rude associate at the front desk!
The decor has very nice. The doors in the rooms were very nice not like most in hotel, cheap. Little details like the room keys with quirky pictures on them. The breakfast was done nice. A nice family place when you need to stay a night
Room is very clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Very accommodating to my needs. Convenient as it is very close to the Montrose airport. I highly recommend this hotel. I will come back again
Convenient location, best in Montrose
It is a solid 2, not a 21/2
Staff was very friendly, I want to really appreciate the gentleman who was running the breakfast bar, he was very attentive and friendly. Bed was clean, fresh sheets and towels. Pet friendly, $10 per pet per night.
Small details of room: shower head looked like it was about to fall out, carpet didn't look very well vacuumed, AC struggled to keep the room cool.
Extremely good value. Hotel was exceptionally clean. Desk clerk was very friendly.
Noise from road but with the fan on couldn't hear it.
Very friendly and considerate staff who gladly let us use the breakfast room and restrooms to change clothes later in the day,(quite some time after we were checked out); clean, comfortable, quiet.
Location. Price.
Wi Fi worked poorly. Breakfast needed decaf coffee.
The hotel was located close enough to downtown to walk. The staff was friendly. The room was nice and clean. Good coffee!
The entertainment center took up half the room and was very odd. We didn't have complaints per se, but I felt the room was a little on the pricey side.
The staff was incredibly friendly! The property is in a safe area and the rooms were very clean. The beds and pillow were so comfy, with best mattresses ever! We slept like babies, and it was very quiet too. We enjoyed the breakfast with fresh omelette. Pool and hot tub really great as well.
I would come back over and over and recommend it to anyone.
This place is such a great value. Very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The rooms look recently updated with nice modern décor. Great selection of complimentary toiletries. While I didn't see or hear any other dogs, this place was incredibly dog-friendly. There were several nice large gravel/grass areas for breaks, and didn't even charge us for them! This place is easily worth twice what their nightly rate. AWESOME PLACE!
Everything are good and expected.
Bed in the room is soft to get up.
Very big rooms and walked to Dinner right next door two choices. Good breakfast and friendly staff. Comfortable bedding and nice Dressing table.
Great employees. Very helpful. Good value.
Small sink.
That they had a coffee bar at all hours and a wonderful breakfast bar
It was New Years Eve and there was drunk people pounding on doors and being loud our hall was right by the front desk and they didn't stop this. My family and I had to stay due to frozen pipes and my children had a hard time sleeping.

Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

I'm a sportsaholic! I love sports ~ almost all sports too. Yea, strange for a 56 year old woman, but true.
Today, I took a long, long walk to clear my head. It was a beautiful day and I didn't want to be cooped up inside! I wanted a change to think about this divorce and how ugly it has gotten. This is what I learned today.
I watched a junior high track team train today - or middle school?. It was a riot to watch. Well-intentioned coaches trying to teach 7th or 8th graders how to do anything. ~ gotta give them credit for their patience! Have you seen the lack of coordination some of these young men have? They were literally tripping over their own feet. It was amazing to me as a silent observer to be able to pick out the first year kids! I watched one athlete knock down three hurdles and another fell in the throwing circle trying to learn the steps. I wondered why the kids did this to themselves and what satisfaction they got.
As the practice session went on, I noticed that the second or third year kids came out later to practice. I realized that one kid was jumping a much longer distance and high jump bar went up to around 5' 4". The kids were smooth! No bumps and obstacles along the way! Watching the throws go beyond the last line, it dawned on me! One year difference?
Yea, one year difference! My ugly first steps in this divorce are happening now. In one year, will I be able to navigate on my own? Time is a great healer, but it hopefully will also teach me how to be single again.

So I didn't think my two year old would catch onto the concept of having a new baby so quickly but she has, and now (not that I mind) shes very "mommy" clingy.
I love the fact that shes back to running to mommy for everything (it used to be daddy for EVERYTHING...I was broken hearted lol) but it has gotten to the point that I can NOT leave the room to even pee without her flipping her lid.
I have a friend who is giving away a 6 month old rough coat golden retriever. He is amazing with kids, and with a little extra house training, will be an amazing house pup. (Hes house trained but not crate trained so accidents tend to happen at night and when the owners are away)
I think getting Chloe a puppy for her to call just hers, will really help with the transition. Shes going through ALOT of changes right now. Her dad and I had shared joing custody, and with him she was shuffled to so many houses so he could "live his life" On the weeks she was with us, it was pretty routine, babysitter and home....grocery trip on wednesday and sundays...and the occasional ice cream nights lol.
I was recently granted full custody to provide her with a more stable environment and her father chose to enlist in the military, so the time she does see him will be cut to nothing when he leaves for basic until he is done.
So between the living change as well as the new baby concept, I think my baby girl is getting very overwhelmed. Shes my little animal lover so Im thinking the puppy just for her might be a good thing. Any ideas?

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) released his Wastebook 2012 on Oct. 16 to point out what he considers questionable government spending, including $1.5 billion in taxpayer-funded cell phones and nearly $1 million to research what astronauts could eat on Mars.
No. 1 on the list though is "the most unproductive and unpopular Congress in modern history." It cost taxpayers $132 million, but did little. Lawmakers passed 61 bills that eventually became law in 2012.
"Whether it was failing to hold oversight hearings, pass laws, cut unnecessary spending, or simply cast votes on amendments, the U.S. Congress let taxpayers down in 2012," Coburn wrote.
The Senate specifically has cast fewer votes in 2012 thus far than any year in decades. More than 20 of the 100 senators—Republicans and Democrats alike—have not had a single amendment considered on the Senate floor. He also hammered on congressional committees. The Senate Budget Committee has failed to produce a budget in more than 1,200 days, and to Coburn, the Senate Finance Committee has done little in 2012, approving only 11 legislative measures. The Senate and the House small business committees have not done much either, leading the way with the fewest approved bills, according to Coburn. The Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee held only four hearings this year and approved only three measures. One of those measures was to authorize its expenditures. The House Small Business Committee held 31 hearings and reported three bills, according to Coburn. The senator noted House did significantly more than the Senate committee but less than other House committees.
"Despite the importance of small business to our nation's economy and their recent struggles, the small business committees of both chambers tied for first place as the committee approving the least amount of legislation in 2012," Coburn wrote.
In reaction, Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.), chairman of the Small Business Committee, said Coburn's numbers are not correct. Committee members introduced 19 bills and marked up 11 bills in 2012, he said. The committee also used its oversight jurisdiction to hold 80 hearings on all sorts of issues that affect small companies. There were even nine field hearings. It has also exercised oversight affecting more than 20 agencies, in addition to hearings, Graves said.
"The committee will continue to measure progress in the fight for small businesses more by the content of the hearings and results of oversight efforts, than faulty statistics cited in Dr. Coburn's report," Graves said in a statement. "The committee takes seriously the obligation to usefully fight for small businesses, often on tax and regulatory issues that burden small businesses needlessly. We're proud of that record."
The Senate committee did not respond to Coburn's findings.
Further down the list of 100 wasteful expenditures, Coburn found NASA continuing to pay for an "unused, outdated database." The Lessons Learned Information System cost the taxpayer $771,000 in 2012. NASA project managers can document their best practices and other information gained from completing their projects in the LLIS. However, they often do not.
During an audit of the database, only 16 of 28 project managers told the inspector general they used it during their projects' acquisition life cycle, with the usage varying widely by project. Managers also do not routinely share they have learned. NASA officials once required managers to contribute to it, but no longer. Only 12 of 28 managers contributed to it, according the IG's audit, which was released in March.
Moreover, managers said the LLIS was "outdated, is not user friendly, and does not contain information relevant to their projects," the IG wrote. Managers also said they had pressing matters to deal with instead of adding to the database.
"Taken together, the lack of consistent input and usage has led to the marginalization of LLIS as a useful tool for project managers," the IG wrote.
Coburn cited the audit report in the Wastebook 2012. NASA did not respond to a request for a comment.
In the audit, the IG recommended officials determine whether or not the LLIS was worth the cost. NASA officials replied that one of NASA's overarching and fundamental purposes is to create knowledge. The database is one way that NASA captures knowledge.
"Based on the LLIS' utilization metrics, collected each month, this investment is providing a tremendous return on investment," wrote Michael Ryschkewitsch, NASA's chief engineer.

In the latest issue: Looking back on three decades of big stories in federal IT.
Get the full issue
The government's departing top acquisition official said she leaves behind a solid foundation on which to build more effective and efficient federal IT.
The National Background Investigations Bureau announced the appointment of its first director as the agency prepares to take over processing government background checks.
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said agencies are missing out on younger workers because of the government's rigidity, particularly its protracted hiring process.
Since 1987, FCW has covered it all -- the major contracts, the disruptive technologies, the picayune scandals and the many, many people who make federal IT function. Here's a look back at six of the most significant stories.
A short-term funding bill is expected by Sept. 30 to keep the federal government operating through early December, but after that the options get more complicated.
The DOD is opening a new Defense Innovation Unit Experimental office in Austin, Texas, while Congress debates legislation that could defund DIUx.
Sounds like we need term limits on those in the senate
@ "Coburn omits the fact that budget bills originate in the House. How conveeenient." Yes budget bills originate in the Republican controlled House, BUT they have to be voted on in the Democrat controlled Senate. The Senate has taken very few even to a vote. The Senate is the log jam in getting things done. The House is doing their part proposing, and I guess one could argue the Senate is doing their job blocking. But the blocking is what's keeping anything from getting passed.
In response to:
"Regarding the above proposal for "independent program evaluations to assess specific program performance, and conduct cross cutting topical analyses to identify anachronistic, redundant, and counterproductive multiple programs"... If we're just coming up with this idea now, doesn't this completely drive home the point that gov't is reckless with our money??"
Actually, no, this is not a new idea. Both the Government Accountability Office and the Office of Management and Budget engage in these types of studies. The problem is that in most cases the subjects of the studies are specific programs or activities, and in many cases are driven by political considerations. Additionally, Congressional committee structures often have overlapping jurisdictions that often create program authorizations and appropriations that end up with similar programs with slightly different targets in several agencies - sometimes working in coordination, but most often working in stovepipes. Congressional committees jealously guard their turf, and therefore don't negotiate away these programs very often. I think there is enough blame to go around for the lack of intentional broad review, and perhaps there needs to be a significant effort by Congress and the Executive Branch to find a way to make sure that the anachronisms and ineffective programs go away, redundancies are minimized, and program conflictions are resolved.
"It is easy to make things sound wasteful when you take them out of context"
In what context is it ok for my tax dollars to be spent on talking urinal cakes?
Regarding the above proposal for "independent program evaluations to assess specific program performance, and conduct cross cutting topical analyses to identify anachronistic, redundant, and counterproductive multiple programs"... If we're just coming up with this idea now, doesn't this completely drive home the point that gov't is reckless with our money??

Another 40 minutes of shoveling out Nemo today for me. Happy that the snow has stopped!
To be honest, it will probably be shoveling 2+ feet of snow off my driveway, haha. Don't forget shoveling off part of the yard so my dog can do her business. We are right in the thick of things when it comes to this storm. We are looking at anywhere from 18 inches to 3 feet.

Wolf Parade Keeps the Howl Alive at the Fillmore November 10
Back in the early 2000s, cool kids everywhere became obsessed with all kinds of lupine creatures. Maybe it was irony. Maybe it was rabies. Or maybe the moon had slipped off axis. Whatever the cause, almost everyone between the ages of 16 and 28 was wearing a howling wolf's head t-shirt and naming their fledgling band after these beasts.
You had Wolfmother and Wolf Eyes and Aids Wolf. But only one furry, fanged crew -- Montreal's Wolf Parade -- really seemed to possess the cunning, coyote-like survival skills to live on that skinny swath between mass popularity and the hipster wilderness.
With 2005's Apologies to the Queen Mary and 2008's follow-up At Mount Zoomer, the pack of four proved that it was built for both your living room and the forest's remote underground lairs.
Now it's 2010 and the cool kids have all sold their shirts. But Wolf Parade's newest collection of canny indie rock, Expo 86, is keeping the howl alive. On brooding and strangely baroque anthems like "Cloud Shadow on the Mountain" and "Little Golden Age," the haunting, echo-y vocals actually sound like they were recorded in a cold, deep cave while the noise is equal parts catchy new wave and polished chaos.

Nitronic Rush is a racing game that gives open nods to 90s racers like San Francisco Rush 2049 and Extreme-G (ah, those were good times, weren't they?), while throwing in some psychedelic influence from the likes of Rez for good measure. It looks remarkably refreshing, made more impressive knowing it was created from scratch by some college students at DigiPen.
The game is releasing November 11 on PC, via the website below. Amazingly, it's free.
