While there are certainly tons and tons of .pkg GUIs that generally use the same basic architecture, right now there are few that actually fully support up to 4.30 CFW. For that reason, plus a few more, this particular PKG Toolkit really does tend to stand out from the pack. Like most similar programs of its kind, this little graphical interface relies on scene standard tools to decrypt and encrypt .self and .elf files in a way that is much more pleasing to the eye than using the simple command prompt interface. Want to take a deeper look inside your favorite homebrew, or PSN download? This is one surefire way to get that done.
At the backbone of this GUI lies the popular SCETool that more or less does all of the work to get the job done. In an effort to create better support for some of the new custom firmwares out there, the developer has removed some of the additional tools that were just causing unnecessary clutter, but he says he will add them back should there be enough demand for them in a later version. This essentially means that if you plan on needing a software such as this that uses methods other than SCETool for 3.40 or 3.55 files you certainly aren't going to find much help here. This is a tool set to work fot the new age of the scene, and word on the street is that version 1.40 is right around the corner.

The only positive I have is that I love the smell of this. I don't think it hurt my skin at all, but I didn't see any change in my skin either. I received this as a GWP, where the tube was about halfway full, and worked through this really really fast since the formula is so watery! Glad I got to try the sample to know I won't be spending my money on the full size.2

What is the major event in The Black Pearl in chapter 12? only list the major event(s) nothing else
2 Answers | Add Yours
The major event in Chapter 12 is the theft of the great pearl from the church by the young protagonist, Ramon.
The arrival of the pearl in the city of La Paz coincides with a great storm which wrecks their fleet of pearling boats and drowns 31 men, including Ramon's father. Believing the pearl is bringing them bad luck, Ramon steals it and sets off in the night to return it to the Manta Diablo, or monster devilfish, to whom it is said to belong.
The major event in Chapter 12 is that the great pearl of heaven is stolen.
Also the fleet of ships is "eaten up" by a storm. Ramon also takes the pearl down to the sea and was going to go return the pearl to the manta.

Weekly Snippets, 4/28/08
- Community
- Joep set up wiki.seasteading.org, so we now have a wiki!
- Blog uptake picked up considerably, as did website traffic:
- Biggest blog was Marginal Revolution, which gave a nice boost to website traffic – Friday 4/25 was our best day so far (9500 pages, 2500 visits).
- Also an article in Reason appeared today: Homesteading on the High Seas: Floating Burning Man, "jurisdictional arbitrage," and other adventures in anarchism
- Most amusing to me was a Swedish post titled "OMFG!!! BioShock IRL!!!", really crappy machine translation here.
- Current monthly run-rate is about 50K visits/mo. And we've had 50 user registrations in our first 2 weeks, which is excellent.
- First donations! €100 (Joep), $50 (private).
- Talked to Floating Islands International about possible collaboration.
- Administrative
- We have a board meeting this week, and will be finalizing 2007 strategy so we can get some job/volunteer reqs and projects posted.
- We're on track to apply for nonprofit status in a couple weeks.
- Wayne toured some potential office/workshop/dock space in Redwood City, there's also a conference center on the water there we might snag for our first conference in the fall.
- Research – natch
- Engineering – Wayne wrote up a Base Seastead design to serve as a strawman for discussion. We talked to a helpful offshore structure engineer and got a lot of useful info about how to set up our research program.
One Comment on "Weekly Snippets, 4/28/08"
To me, the most amusing thing about that awful Swedish translation is the repeated occurrence of the word "duck". Perhaps the translation software is making a statement about the organisms it considers best suited to the project…
On an entirely unrelated note, here's some constructive (I hope) criticism of the web interface here. I'm a bit frustrated that my browser's built-in spell-check doesn't function in this text field. Or its built-in right-click menu. And that hitting "enter" always scrolls the whole browser window so the input point is at the very bottom of the screen. And that the "plain text editor" alternative is an uncomfortably narrow text area in a very different part of the screen. And that after hitting "Preview" from the plain text editor, my comment gets converted back to "rich text" form, but incorrectly (so hitting "Preview" again, or presumably "Post", totally mangles the formatting). I don't know exactly what fancy Web 2.0 technology you're using to run this thing, but I recommend downgrading to Web 1.9.

Knockknock. Who's there? Under. Under who? Under arrest.
That was about the shape of things late Monday night at a downtown hotel in Brandon.
Police say they were called around 11 p.m. about a drunk man who was banging on hotel-room doors and disturbing patrons. Officers tracked him down and discovered he was on probation and not supposed to be drinking alcohol.
He was arrested and hauled to the drunk tank overnight. Police say he'll face charges for breaching his probation and is to appear in court on June 9.

Ask your self this question.
Answer with a simple yes.
If no, which ones do not.
All Bears Hibernate except one....the Polar Bear They are active year round
All bears do not hibernate it depends on the climate where they live and the severity of the winters there. This is the black bear in Va..
Now this is strange, it's the first time I have been on the hunting page and I run across this thread. A bunch of city police and all of the college's police are behind my welding shop tracking a bear that was in the parking lot 10 minutes ago.
What SNDFLEE said. Black bear in Virginia take long naps when the weather is really bad and come out to play on the nice days. So if you mean go down in the fall and sleep till spring then No the Virginia black bear do not hibernate.
That is correct. Black Bears in coastal NC do not hibernate all Winter. They will nap during long periods of bad weather but are up and about most of the Winter.
I would agree bears in the Carolinas probably don't except pregant females ... here in western md some males will stay out most of the winter as long as the can find more food than energy they are burning
1. pregant females den first
2. females with cubs den next
3. young females out on their own
4. then the males den last ... when depends on how much food is around and how cold
a lot of times the bears in va and probally in nc dont even find a den to sleep in sometimes they curl up beside a tree or uprooted tree and go to sleep for days but they will wake up to smells and other commotion kinda like some of us do i think the sows will probally find the most protective places and wont be seen

Salted Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
A cookie recipe that has been a favorite since I was a little kid. Finally on the blog!
What a weekend! Dave and I just saw his parents and sister off for the airport. It has been a really fun and decadent couple of days. We've been out to many delicious meals, made a few at home as well, tasted wine, shopped aplenty and been to see lovely Multnomah Falls. But all good things must come to an end and this morning they are on a plane back to Chicago. It also means that we'll probably stick to simpler food for the next few days to balance out all the richness from the weekend.
That has me thinking about comfort foods, and this one is one of my favorite things to eat – chicken fried steak simply breaded and fried in a skillet. I am definitely a fan of the batter-dipped variety as well, but that's a little more difficult to do at home, especially on a weeknight. And definitely higher-calorie.
Nicely simple. Maybe not on the healthiest end of the spectrum, but oh well! 🙂 We could do a lot worse.
Here's what you need:
Set up your dredging station by putting your egg in one wide, flat bowl or pie tin and your flour, salt and pepper (plenty) in another. Tenderize each steal with a few pounds from a meat tenderizer.
Dip each steak in the egg first, then in the flour. Immediately put in a skillet on medium heat and cook through, turning about five minutes in. This shouldn't take more than ten minutes total (and might take less – you will be able to see when they are done). Remove from heat.
The gravy will take more time, so you may want to keep the steaks warm in a toaster oven or low oven.
In the same pan, with all of the meat drippings still in it, add your 3 Tbsp. flour and 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil, and use a whisk to gently blend them with the meat drippings, until the bottom of the pan is clean and the flour has absorbed all the fat and drippings. Add the milk and gently reduce (still on medium, here) until the gravy coats the back of a spoon – that is to say, it's thick enough that it doesn't all run off at once. Season with several shakes of freshly ground pepper (and add salt, to taste).
We served this with some steamed broccoli and some french fries. Not bad for a weeknight meal!

If making something as simple as a motor mount is stopping you, then you should probably sell the Olds and use the funds to get an engine that's a bolt in. But if you can weld well, then you should have no issue building or adapting factory mounts.
I start with bolting the trans to the engine and sitting it in the car with trans mount in the stock location. Leave the engine/trans on the hoist, and check the driveline for fitment.
Once the trans is located and the driveline fits, then lower the engine until the motor is level or a few degrees up in front. Then you can look at the factory mounts and see what is needed to adapt to the frame. I usually start with cardboard pieces taped together to make a mount, and once it's right I pull the pieces apart and cut out steel, then weld it all together.
After it's welded together you can install it, and either bolt or weld it to the frame. If I'm welding them or bolting, I still tack them with a welder and then remove the engine to finish welding, or drill and bolt the mounts.
I can usually drop an engine in and fab the mounts in a day without rushing. It's really rarely a big deal unless you're stuffing a V8 into a tiny car that was originally a 4 banger. In that case it took me two days to fab everything for my tiny Austin 4 banger to accept a smallblock Chevy V8.

Posts Tagged 'swing hammock'
To be certain you purchase the best quality and price for income hammock consideration really should be offered to a couple most important parts http://bestcamphammock.com/. Mexican Hammocks are of course quick to come back by in Mexico, but will also normally at sector places all over the world and thru online webstores.
Twine Form
Hammocks are frequently accessible in two principal kinds of twine. Nylon and cotton, and often these are a mix of the two. A nylon hammock is generally just that, 100% cotton. Whilst a cotton hammock will normally be built so the physique, the element you lie in is cotton along with the arms/ends with the hammock in which the burden is taken is made from nylon. This is often done so to make a more robust extra tough hammock although nevertheless supplying you the additional benefit of additional consolation in the cotton cord.
The key variations located in cord styles are that cotton is softer and nylon is more tough. A nylon hammock can have a firmer come to feel, but will weather the weather better if remaining uncovered outside the house towards the things. Cotton hammocks will extend additional and so are usually considered the more relaxed selection, but they need much more care and security with the features to be sure longevity.
Both styles will come in a variety of ranges of colors, with all the nylon exhibiting a far more shiny brilliant colour compared into the extra matt colour during the cotton hammocks.
To guarantee prolonged hammock daily life it's advisable to safeguard the hammock when not in use from the components.
Hammock Weave
A very crucial aspect of your hammock is definitely the weave it is actually established in. A lot of hammocks are flat canvas sort hammocks that do not do nearly as good a career as conforming on your human body condition just like the hand-woven Mexican open weave type. Along with the open up weave commonly the smaller the gaps the nice comfort and ease and assist this provides, nevertheless continue to permits air to flow into by and all-around you though resting as part of your hammock. So hammocks often noticed given that the mass developed kinds should have huge open up weaves in rope variety cord. These usually do not guidance you well and dissuade you from wanting to invest a lot time in your hammock. Look with the genuine Mexican hand-woven corded hammocks as these supply an exceedingly substantial level of ease and comfort, energy and help.
You would like to be certain the cords employed in the weave of your respective hammock are all in superior ailment. Check out there is absolutely no fraying or hurt. Wherever new twine has long been added into the hammock and knotted collectively this could be up far from the human body from the hammock in order to avoid being laid on. Reduce cords must also be neatly burnt off and knotted to forestall any possible unraveling.

The Migron outpost in the West Bank was not evacuated as scheduled.
The eviction had been scheduled for Tuesday, the same day that the Israeli Supreme Court conducted a hearing on a petition filed by the residents requesting a delay in the eviction until the modular homes being built for the evacuees are completed. They reportedly will not be habitable for several weeks.
A decision is not expected for at least several days.
Some 17 families who claim they have purchased or repurchased the plots that their homes are located on also have petitioned the court to be allowed to stay in their homes.
In March, the Supreme Court ruled against an attempt by the government to postpone to 2015 the demolition of Migron, which the Palestinians say is built on their land. Deferrals against the demolition stretch back to 2006.
The settlers, who deny that Migron is built on private Palestinian land, had signed a deal with the Netanyahu government agreeing to relocate to a nearby hill.

Winning Quotes
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

What You Can Do:
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Vital Records Search, is the central distribution location for the issuance of birth, death, marriage and divorce records. These records are not released to just anyone for Colorado background checks. In keeping with Colorado law, only those with a proof of relationship to the individual or a "direct and tangible interest" in obtaining the vital records are eligible for access.

Legal representatives or probate researchers, with proof of their credentials, are examples of non-family members who are likely to be granted access to someone else's vital records.

The Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music at the University of Memphis announces "A Concert in Celebration of the Life of Charlie Riecker" to be presented on Friday, September 22 at 7:30 p.m. in Harris Concert Hall (3775 Central Avenue). Mr. Riecker, who passed away in August, was the School's Hohenberg-Scheidt Distinguished Visiting Artist. He retired from the Metropolitan Opera in the spring of 1997, leaving behind a remarkable career that spanned four decades and encompassed management positions including Artistic Administrator, Tour Director, and Artistic Liaison.
Performers for the concert will include Kallen Esperian and members of the University of Memphis Opera. According to Mark Ensley, Director of Opera Activities at the School, "[Riecker's] was a life that really mattered…because of his artistry and musicianship, but more importantly, because of his humanity."
While at the Metropolitan, Mr. Riecker worked closely with the development and execution of television and recording projects, the pioneering of outdoor concerts, artistic participation in fundraising, and special programming. He continued to serve as an adjudicator for the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, as well as for the Puccini Foundation
Competition and the Birgit Nilsson Award. He was Co-Artistic Director of the Opera Institute of California and a Visiting Guest Artist on the faculties of California State University, the University of Maryland, and the Manhattan School of Music.

There are two registration options available for campers. The full-day option runs daily from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an early dismissal on Friday at 3 p.m. and costs $325, while the half-day option operates from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and only costs $185.
Under coach Rincon's guidance, campers will learn an array of tennis techniques through hands-on instruction, including situational drills, live-ball drills and ball-feeding drills. Participants will also have the chance to put their new skills to use in team competition drills and singles and doubles match play. All drill sessions are held in small groupings to ensure individual attention is paid to each camper.
All participants will receive camp T-shirts, water bottles and other prizes. At the end of the morning session, full day campers will have the option of swimming to cool off. Safety is prioritized at the camp and in the swimming pool.
University of Miami employees who wish to enroll a child into the camp will receive a $20 discount. Parents who send multiple children to the camp are also eligible for a $20 discount.
The 2006 ACC Coach of the Year, Rincon has led the Hurricanes to five NCAA tournaments during his tenure. He has also guided four players to 11 All-American honors and has consistently placed the Hurricanes in the nation's top-75.
Rincon's personal resume is impressive. After a successful nine-year stint in the professional ranks, including appearances in the Australian Open, Wimbledon, French Open and U.S. Open, Rincon will bring priceless insight and a wealth of knowledge to his training camp.
All of the University of Miami's camps are open to any and all entrants (limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender).

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan athletics director Bill Martin has announced that the U-M men's basketball program will posthumously honor NCAA All-American Bill Buntin (1963-65) by retiring his jersey, No. 22, in a halftime ceremony during the Wolverines' Jan. 7, 2006, Big Ten Conference opener against Purdue.
"We are very excited and pleased to be able to recognize what Bill Buntin meant to Michigan Basketball," said Martin. "Before his untimely passing, Bill helped put Michigan back on the college basketball map and we are humbled to have his jersey hang in the rafters."
"We are honored to have an opportunity to recognize and remember what Bill Buntin meant to Michigan," said U-M coach Tommy Amaker. "This honor is truly deserved and wonderful for Bill and his family, and we are proud to hang his No. 22 with the other Michigan honored jerseys."
After coming to Michigan as a sophomore, Buntin burst onto the college basketball scene in 1962, averaging 22.2 points and 15.7 rebounds while earning All-Big Ten first team and Michigan Most Valuable Player honors. He followed with an even better junior year, averaging 23.2 points and 12.5 rebounds en route to being named an All-Big Ten first team selection and a 1964 NCAA All-American. He carried the Wolverines to their first Big Ten Championship in 16 seasons and to the NCAA Final Four.
Buntin held U-M records for career points and rebounds at the end of his three years.
After Michigan's first Final Four appearance, Buntin entered his senior year with high hopes of repeated success. He did not disappoint, guiding the 1964-65 Wolverines to their second straight Big Ten title and first trip to the NCAA Championship game. Buntin, who averaged 20.1 points and 11.5 rebounds, earned All-Big Ten first team honors for the third straight season and his second straight All-America recognition. After making their second straight run to the Final Four, the Wolverines came up short in their quest for a national championship, falling 91-80 to John Wooden's UCLA Bruins in the title game.
Buntin finished his career as one of just two players in Michigan history to collect over 1,000 career rebounds, as he finished with 1,037 in just three seasons, which still ranks second all-time in Michigan history. He finished with 1,724 career points, which is ninth all-time on the Michigan career list. With a career average of 21.8 points and 13.1 rebounds a game, Buntin holds the U-M record with 58 double-doubles in 79 career games.
After his three outstanding seasons with the Wolverines, Buntin was drafted as the No. 2 pick in the 1965 NBA territorial draft by the Detroit Pistons. He played one season in the NBA, averaging 7.7 points and 6.0 rebounds in 42 games during the 1965-66 season. After his brief stint in the NBA, Buntin also played with the American Basketball Association's Indiana Pacers before switching sports and leagues, signing a deal to play with the National Football League's Detroit Lions. He never saw any game action with the Lions, as he ended his professional career in 1967 to go back to school.
Buntin decided to return to Michigan to complete his final semester and earn a degree in education, tragically he would never complete his degree as he suffered a heart attack during a pickup basketball game and passed away at the age of 26 in May of 1968.
Buntin's family and teammates will take part in the ceremony. The Wolverines' game against the Boilermakers is scheduled for a 12:07 p.m. tipoff and will be aired as part of the ESPN-Regional television package.

text: Dec 27, 2011 - I was looking for a gel with olive oil because other gels have dried out my naturally curly hair. I came across your brand while shopping at the hair store today.. I purchased two. I used it for the first time to define my curls and I love it! I also love that the product is reasonably priced. Having olive oil as a natural ingredient for natural hair is a plus. I hope you continue to provide it for women of color like me who have thick and curly hair.

Sullivan won their fourth straight game and remained undefeated in Four Rivers Conference play with a 55-40 victory at New Haven Monday.
The Lady Eagles (18-2, 4-0) surged ahead in the third quarter in knocking off the Class 2 runner-up from a year ago. Sullivan opened up a 15-point lead midway through the period on a 9-0 run.
Aley and Taylor Lucas both scored 13 points to lead a balanced night from the Lady Eagles.
Sierra Pryor added 10 points, while Jessica Heinle chipped in nine and Megan Brandt dropped in six.
New Haven junior Rachel Steinhoff led all scorers with 20 points. The Lady Shamrocks were unable to provide her with much help.
Emily Kallmeyer scored six points and Kierstin Monzyk five.
The win left Sullivan as the only unbeaten team in the conference with matchups against Pacific, St. James and Union awaiting.
Sullivan led the entire way. They held a 13-8 lead after one quarter, then 22-17 at the half.
New Haven stayed close in the second period, drawing within three late on two free throws by Kallmeyer.
But Sullivan had an answer. Pryor hit a 3-pointer to extend the lead back to six, then she was fouled on another 3-point attempt.
She was only able to convert one, but it was enough to give Sullivan a 22-15 lead with 26 seconds left in the half.
Steinhoff was fouled with 15 seconds left in the half. Her two free throws cut into Sullivan's lead.
Sullivan scored on their first two possessions of the second half and opened up a 27-19 lead. Monzyk chipped it down to six on a layup, but two straight baskets by Taylor Lucas and a three-point play by Pryor stretched Sullivan's lead to 34-21.
Sullivan would go up by 15 just two possessions later using their size and hustle.
Aley Lucas missed a 3-pointer, but grabbed her own rebound to keep the possession alive. Brandt would misfire on a long jumper, only to watch Aley Lucas sneak through the defense and lay it in.
Sullivan took a 37-26 lead into the fourth quarter.
New Haven would get as close as nine early in the period.

In a town overflowing with fun and frivolous events, one such happening is exploding in popularity at an exponential rate.
Organizers of the Fourth Annual Zombie Bike Ride, taking place this Sunday expect to see between 2,500 and 4,000 riders take part in the parade. The first time out, in 2009, drew just 150 such "zombies."
"The ride has gotten so big that it can't actually stop anywhere now, because it jams up," said Marky Pierson, who produces the event, along with Evan Haskell and Chris Needham, of the We Cycle bike shop, on Stock Island. "This year, however, we actually have the road to ourselves. In the past we were limited to the sidewalks, but now we have two lanes all the way from We Cycle down South Roosevelt Boulevard. We also have official police escorts this time."
The Zombie Ride grew out of Pierson's earlier event, the Rock 'n' Roll Bike Ride, which also proved to be popular in bike-loving Key West. That event made a number of stops at area watering holes, such as Salute on the Beach. The parade won't stop at Salute this year, though a beach party will be held there from 4 to 7 p.m. Logistical concerns, prompted by the parade's popularity, have inspired Pierson to cluster the entertainment at the beginning and end of the ride.
"We're going to have a stage and tent at We Cycle, with live entertainment by DJ Cous Cous, beginning at 3 p.m.," Pierson said. "There will be an artist's row, so people can get their faces painted, and bikes will be available for rent. We'll also have a dunk tank, food, and contests for the best costume, and best bike. Trixie Little and the Evil Hate Monkey, who are acrobatic circus performers, will be there as well. The parade will leave at 6:30 p.m."
Six mobile trikes, each with its own sound system and individual play list, will provide a soundtrack to the spooky spectacle, including disco and rock 'n' roll offerings.
The ride will conclude at the "Zombie's Den" (Fogarty's restaurant,) at the corner of Duval and Caroline streets, where the Undead band will play festive tunes.
A number of splinter parties will also take place nearby, at The Porch, the Green Parrot Bar, and Charlie Mac's.
Though the ride is technically free, Pierson said the organizers request online registration, and a $5 donation, to help defray the cost of the event. Six different T-shirts will be available for sale at We Cycle, before the ride departs.
"We're doing this for the town," Pierson said. "And we'd like it to keep it as cheap as possible. There are a lot of expenses associated with the ride, though, and we're trying to recoup some of those costs."
Tourist Development Council Director Harold Wheeler confirmed that the ride is becoming a real draw for visitors to the island.
"We've definitely received a number of comments regarding last year's ride," Wheeler said. "It's a really good event for people to get engaged with. A number of people have told me that they'd come again to take part."

(Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 05, 2012 1:32 AM
Longtime American Press Sports Editor Scooter Hobbs will serve as keynote speaker at the Hector San Miguel Fund award luncheon, which is set for noon Thursday at L'Auberge Casino Resort.
Shawn Martin, a longtime American Press reporter, has been selected as this year's recipient of the Hector San Miguel Memorial Fund award. The award honors San Miguel, an award-winning American Press reporter and editor who died in 2009 of complications from leukemia.
Hobbs is replacing Jeff Pearlman as keynote speaker. Pearlman, a nationally known sports author, had to cancel because of a family emergency, said Sonny Marks, fund advisory board chairman.
Hobbs, who was close friends with both San Miguel and Martin, started at the American Press in 1979. He has been named Louisiana Sports Columnist of the Year nine times and Louisiana Sportswriter of the Year four times.
During his career, Hobbs has received more than 70 first-place writing awards.
Hobbs has covered all six of LSU's baseball national championships, the Tigers BCS football national championships in 2003 and 2007, their Final Four appearances in 1981, 1986 and 2006, and the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts in 2010 in Miami. Also — relevant especially this week — he covered the state championship game the last time Barbe was in it in 1980.
The Hector San Miguel Fund award is given each year to a person who has "produced outstanding achievements in journalism"; has shown a "relentless pursuit of the truth"; or whose work has "made a substantial, positive impact on Southwest Louisiana."
Martin, who worked at the Press for almost 20 years, died Feb. 15. He was 48.
During his career, he won several Louisiana Press Association and Associated Press Managing Editor writing and photography awards. He was the newspaper's longtime Beauregard Parish bureau chief in DeRidder. He also served as a photographer and photo assignments editor at the paper's Lake Charles office.
"Shawn was an incredible journalist who brought national acclaim to the American Press," Marks said. "He broke the story on how Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff took advantage of representing the Coushatta Tribe."
Jim Beam, retired American Press editor, political columnist and the first recipient of the Hector San Miguel Fund award, hired Martin. He called him "a fearless reporter who never hesitated to take on the political giants of this state and this nation."
Martin will be honored at the luncheon and his family will be there to receive the award in his honor. The award comes with a stipend. Past award recipients are Beam and Vincent Lupo, longtime American Press courthouse reporter.
Doors for the luncheon will open at 11:30 a.m.; the program will begin at noon.
For more information, call the foundation at 491-6688 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Clean, modern hotel that includes a free breakfast every morning. Refrigerator in the room was restocked everyday with water. Nice, friendly staff that are very accommodating to foreign travelers. Hotel is a little too far from Seoul for my liking. 30 minute subway ride to Seoul station. However, Nokbeon subway station is just a 4 minute walk from the hotel.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Catching depth is a primary reason why the injury-plagued Los Angeles Angels are still hovering near the top of the AL West.
Bobby Wilson's promotion from Triple-A not only has filled the gap created by Jeff Mathis' broken right wrist, but it's allowed Mike Napoli to take off the mask and fill in occasionally at first base with Kendry Morales out for the season.
Wilson drove in three runs on Wednesday with his first major league homer and Napoli also connected, helping Joel Pineiro beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1.
The Angels are 9-1 when Wilson is the starting catcher, and the pitching staff has a 2.90 ERA when he is flashing the signals.
"That's what I'm here for. That's my main job and I understand that. Hopefully we're going to keep that ERA down and keep those wins going up," Wilson said. "We've had our struggles and we've had to talk about some things. But for the most part, it comes from catching their bullpens, talking to them between their starts, and understand what they're trying to do and where you need to be set up with certain pitches. Being vocal with them has been the biggest thing."
Pineiro (6-6) pitched three-hit ball for eight innings, allowing only one hit after Carlos Gomez homered to lead off the third. And he gave much of the credit to his batterymate.
Wilson "had a great idea behind the plate," Pineiro said. "He studies the game good. He goes over his reports and video, and he knows what he's doing back there. He's very aggressive and intense, and he keeps you in the ballgame. So if he sees that you're slightly off, he kind of gets you right back on track. He also got that big home run today to give me some support."
Pineiro won his third straight start after going 1-5 with a 7.55 ERA over his previous eight outings.
"We have a lot of right-handers, and he's very tough on righties," Brewers slugger Prince Fielder said. "I'm usually the only lefty in the lineup, so he can pitch extra tough to me because he doesn't have to come in because of the fact that there's so many righties. And they have a tough time, anyway, because of his sinker. So it's a battle for all of us every time he pitches against us, because he's really locked in."
Napoli, batting in the second spot for the first time this season, hit a solo home run in the first off Chris Narveson (5-4).
The Angels made it 4-0 in the second when Wilson sent a drive into the second tier of the double-deck bullpen in left field.
"It was a good feeling," said Wilson, who played briefly for the Angels during the previous two seasons. "It was nice to get it out of the way and help the team get a W. Hopefully, it's the first of many."
Narveson gave up five runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings in his 10th start of the season, after pitching a career-high seven innings last Friday in a 6-2 win against Texas. The left-hander, who began the season in the Brewers' bullpen, is 4-4 with a 5.53 ERA since replacing Jeff Suppan in the rotation.
Fielder went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts as the designated hitter. He had started each of his previous 307 games at first base. Fielder has played in 251 consecutive games overall, the longest active streak in the majors.
"Playing in the National League, I wasn't going to get a chance to DH again. And I don't take days off. So I figured it would be a good time to get a little breather," Fielder said. "DH-ing still gives me a chance to still be in the game, so it was a good move. I mean, it wasn't an out-of-body experience by any means, but it was all right."
Brewers outfielder Jim Edmonds started at first base for the first time since June 7, 2006, with St. Louis.
"I tried not to put too much pressure on myself," said Edmonds, who has won eight Gold Gloves as the outfield. "It was a great opportunity for me to play first and let Prince rest his legs, because he gets another day off tomorrow."
Angels third baseman Brandon Wood, who came off the disabled list on Tuesday, started at shortstop for the first time this season. Naturally, each of Milwaukee's first three batters hit the ball to him. His throw to first on Rickie Weeks' grounder was in the dirt, but Napoli prevented an error with a backhanded scoop. Wood then caught Corey Hart's line drive and retired Ryan Braun on a grounder in the hole.
- After the game, the Angels designated reserve OF Michael Ryan for assignment. No corresponding move was announced, because the club is waiting to see if Mathis is ready to come off the DL.
- The Brewers who took the first two games of the series by 12-2 and 7-1 scores, haven't swept a three-game set at Anaheim since September 1988 -- 10 years before the Brewers shifted from the AL to the NL. This was only their second series at the Big A since changing leagues.
- Pineiro is 4-0 with a 2.98 ERA against the Brewers.

An Interview with Dr. Falletta
Starting with the first Ronald McDonald House, the success of RMHC is our close ties to the medical community.
In this interview, Dr. Falletta explains the impact RMHC programs have on a child's recovery and on communities, why RMHC stands apart
from other organizations and how treating children is different than adults.
Dr. John M. Falletta, M.D. is a Professor of Pediatrics, Duke University and a former RMHC Global Board Member.
1. How did you first get involved with RMHC?
My involvement with RMHC began through my commitment to help open a Ronald McDonald House in Durham, North Carolina, 30-years ago. The opportunity to provide leadership and expertise in developing healthcare delivery systems in service to children has been marvelous. Serving on the RMHC Global Board permits the application of what I know to a much broader audience.
2. In your words, what makes RMHC different?
There isn't an organization I am aware of that focuses on the whole family like Ronald McDonald House Charities. It was so innovative when it was started, and still is. The Ronald McDonald House provides support without regard for the diagnosis or kind of illness a child is fighting. Its programs helps meet an immense need of supporting the entire family in order to strengthen the child.
RMHC also has a large number of bright, committed people who have a single focus that grounds the organization globally and locally. Our charity is unique because it has the checks and balances in place with the work of the local Chapter staff, volunteers, families, and board members to allow them to develop programs that are realistic in focus and scope and will likely yield great benefit. Any one of our core programs is a result of this.
3. Your entire career has been dedicated to investigating, treating and helping others learn about illnesses affecting children. What role does family play in their recovery?
I know that both the House and Family Room provide enormous support that is often not available any other way. I have lived through the period of seeing families sleep in hallways and parents were unable to be with their child because they had no place to stay. I am delighted we no longer require that of our parents.
Also, given my experience providing care for my child when he was hospitalized and the calm and secure way in which he was able to go through recovery because we were close by, I am persuaded of the value of these programs from the standpoint of the child and parent. I don't need data to tell me the important it is to a child's recovery that he/she can wake up and know the parents are there for support.
4. Why do programs like the Ronald McDonald House or Ronald McDonald Family Room play such a critical role in a child's recovery?
The approximation of normalcy permits a child to focus energy on a calm, safe recovery, not on fear or coping with uncertainty.
5. How is treating children different than adults?
Children need more family support. Adults are more self reliant and call upon existing relationships, experiences or information resources to cope with particular situations. Children often don't have that benefit. So it is even more important that family is nearby, and they have the support of families in similar situations, to help a child manage through tough situations. When all of that support function falls on parents it can be very emotionally draining with the end result likely to be needs of a child being unmet. That is why the Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald Family room is so important because it helps support the parents so they can support their child.
6. In your words, describe the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program? What impact does it have on communities?
The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile (RMCM) is an important extension of a hospital's satellite clinics. The program permits reaching people closer to their home and makes the clinic process more human and accessible. Because of the broad range of services, families can avoid traveling to a big hospital, dealing with crowds, and waiting in an environment full of strangers. All of this happens while not degrading the quality of care.
It was a stroke of genius when it was first created. There may be other mobile health programs, but I am not aware of a program that has the range of services a RMCM provides to a community. With everything from standard medical and dental care to innovative services like blood collection in rural areas, this program fills a need. The communities they travel to are vulnerable and the families would potentially never have access to high quality health care without the RMCM program.
7. What are the critical health issues facing children today? How/why is RMHC positioned to be part of the solution?
Technology associated with modern medicine is complex enough that it isn't going to be available to everyone, everywhere. People will need to travel to get the care they need for their child. Because health care is so expensive, every effort needs to be made to minimize the cost of receiving high quality health care. Also, with more care being delivered in an outpatient setting, families will need a place to stay, such as at a Ronald McDonald House.
8. How important are the relationships RMHC has with the medical community?
Starting with the creation of the first Ronald McDonald House, the success of RMHC has been very dependent upon three broad groups: McDonald's and other corporate and individual donors; the medical community; and parents, community members and volunteers. The strength of RMHC depends on the strength of all three groups working together and has served the test of time by delivering quality, effective programs for over 35 years. The partnerships developed must remain robust to continue to benefit children and their families.
9. In what ways do RMHC and the medical community work together?
RMHC and health care providers work together in the delivery of all of the core programs. For example, the fact that the House is a safe haven where a child can view it not as an extension of a hospital room but as a place like home is a result of the medical community wanting to ensure the children had the benefit of being near the hospital with the protection of a home environment.
For the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, the development of the program is a blend of the services available through a clinical service provider, tailored to the needs of the community.
The medical community often is a donor, a partner and an advisor. In every core program there is a commitment from the hospital for space, land, knowledge and/or services. There is a credibility that RMHC has built over the years that allows hospital administrators to have confidence in the programs, to know that best practices are being shared between the Chapters and applied to new programs.
10. In your 30 years working with RMHC, how have you seen our programs and impact evolve?
Early on we focused on developing the Ronald McDonald House program but were open to new opportunities to create more impact which resulted in the creation of the Ronald McDonald Family Room and Ronald McDonald Care Mobile program. We also are open to funding activities that are more exploratory but have potential to become another core program.
As board members, we are acutely aware that we don't' know it all. This openness allows us to consider new, scalable ideas that complement our mission. And, most importantly we rarely plan from the top down. All the great ideas come from the people on the ground. We simply try to capture the core elements that were successful.
Delivering health care is truly about tailoring treatment to an individual. We take that same approach at RMHC; our local Chapters tailor the services and programs to the needs of their individual communities. This philosophy will allow RMHC to continually evolve and create impact.
11. Why should RMHC be considered an investment on the behalf of a donor?
A. They would be involving themselves in an initiative that has strong record of commitment to health and the well-being of children and has the people, knowledge and relationships to make it all happen.
B. With the strong infrastructure and vast network of support that exists at RMHC, a donor's contributions would be multiplied.
C. They would be part of a large network of donors who are investing in an organization whose reputation is strong, both in duration and in its qualities, and has been tested, scrutinized and found to be excellent.

(valproic acid) Delayed-release Capsules
General Population
Hepatic failure resulting in fatalities has occurred in patients receiving valporate and its derivatives. These incidents usually have occurred during the first six months of treatment. Serious or fatal hepatotoxicity may be preceded by non-specific symptoms such as malaise, weakness, lethargy, facial edema, anorexia, and vomiting. In patients with epilepsy, a loss of seizure control may also occur. Patients should be monitored closely for appearance of these symptoms. Serum liver tests should be performed prior to therapy and at frequent intervals thereafter, especially during the first six months [see WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS].
Children under the age of two years are at a considerably increased risk of developing fatal hepatotoxicity, especially those on multiple anticonvulsants, those with congenital metabolic disorders, those with severe seizure disorders accompanied by mental retardation, and those with organic brain disease. When STAVZOR is used in this patient group, it should be used with extreme caution and as a sole agent. The benefits of therapy should be weighed against the risks. The incidence of fatal hepatotoxicity decreases considerably in progressively older patient groups.
Patients with Mitochondrial Disease
There is an increased risk of valproate-induced acute liver failure and resultant deaths in patients with hereditary neurometabolic syndromes caused by DNA mutations of the mitochondrial DNA Polymerase γ (POLG) gene (e.g. Alpers Huttenlocher Syndrome) STAVZOR is contraindicated in patients known to have mitochondrial disorders caused by POLG mutations and children under two years of age who are clinically suspected of having a mitochondrial disorder [see CONTRAINDICATIONS]. In patients over two years of age who are clinically suspected of having a hereditary mitochondrial disease, STAVZOR should only be used after other anticonvulsants have failed. This older group of patients should be closely monitored during treatment with STAVZOR for the development of acute liver injury with regular clinical assessments and serum liver testing. POLG mutation screening should be performed in accordance with current clinical practice [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
These incidents usually have occurred during the first 6 months of treatment. Serious or fatal hepatotoxicity may be preceded by nonspecific symptoms such as malaise, weakness, lethargy, facial edema, anorexia, and vomiting. In patients with epilepsy, a loss of seizure control may also occur. Patients should be monitored closely for appearance of these symptoms. Liver function tests should be performed prior to therapy and at frequent intervals thereafter, especially during the first 6 months [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Fetal Risk
Valproate can cause major congenital malformations, particularly neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida). In addition, valproate can cause decreased IQ scores following in utero exposure. Valproate is therefore contraindicated in pregnant women treated for prophylaxis of migraine [see CONTRAINDICATIONS]. Valproate should only be used to treat pregnant women with epilepsy or bipolar disorder if other medications have failed to control their symptoms or are otherwise unacceptable.
Valproate should not be administered to a woman of childbearing potential unless the drug is essential to the management of her medical condition. This is especially important when valproate use is considered for a condition not usually associated with permanent injury or death (e.g., migraine). Women should use effective contraception while using valproate [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
A Medication Guide describing the risks of valproate is available for patients [see PATIENT INFORMATION].
Cases of life-threatening pancreatitis have been reported in both children and adults receiving valproate. Some of the cases have been described as hemorrhagic with a rapid progression from initial symptoms to death. Cases have been reported shortly after initial use as well as after several years of use. Patients and guardians should be warned that abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and/or anorexia can be symptoms of pancreatitis that require prompt medical evaluation. If pancreatitis is diagnosed, valproate should ordinarily be discontinued. Alternative treatment for the underlying medical condition should be initiated as clinically indicated [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Valproic acid is a carboxylic acid designated as 2–propylpentanoic acid. It is also known as dipropylacetic acid. Valproic acid (pKa 4.8) has a molecular weight of 144 and occurs as a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. It is slightly soluble in water (1.3 mg/ml) and very soluble in organic solvents. Valproic acid has the following structure:
STAVZOR (valproic acid) delayed release capsules are for oral administration and are provided as orange-colored, oval- shaped capsules in 3 dosage strengths: 125 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg of valproic acid.
Inactive Ingredients
STAVZOR (valproic acid) delayed release capsules also contain ammonium hydroxide, gelatin, glycerin, methacrylic acid copolymer, triethyl citrate, water, and FD&C Yellow No. 6 as the colorant. Each capsule is printed with Opacode WB as the black printing ink.
What are the possible side effects of valproic acid (Depakene, Stavzor)?
Seek emergency medical attention if the person taking this medicine has nausea, vomiting, upper stomach pain, or loss of appetite, low fever, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). These symptoms may be early signs of liver damage. Some of these symptoms may also be early signs of pancreatitis.
Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor, such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically),...

I prefer Kramer pocket holsters. They can be found on Ebay from time to time or ordered directly from Kramer delivered in about 3 weeks. Personally, I don't care much for tuckable. In the more economical range, many like Mika pocket holsters. Do a search, you will find lots of info. Topic has been covered plenty.
Maas Ayoob was standing by a target dummy and the host mentioned he wasn't carrying his .45 ... they proceed through a quick pocket draw.. Guess whose holster Maas was using ... Mika!
I own a Mika and like mine. A couple friends have them and like them as well. For $20 it's a great holster and Mika is a great guy.
I like pocket holsters....not that there is anything wrong with tuckables. I like my tuckable holsters too.
If you use a lot of tighter fitting pants or jeans, the holster will print; it just may not be recognizable as a holster, but the grip might reveal that you are hiding a gun.
I just received last week a beautiful HBE Speciality Leatherworks pocket holster for J-framed holsters. It's the new home for my snubby Taurus 9mm revolver.
Bob Mika pocket holsters.. $20 or so. :king:
Just Google his name for his email address.
Hello. I've had good luck with the Galco pocket holster, which is my primary method of carrying the J-frame snub.
I recently bought a High Noon tuckable IWB holster and it works fine as well.
I like the plain Uncle Mikes pocket holster in stays in the pocket. I had a Name brand high Dollar leather one that would come out with the gun. The idea was to turn the grip when you drew it so that the corners would catch the pocket. But as with anyting with Murphys law and stress I did not trust it. So back the the Uncle Mikes and when they get like a turned up old tennis shoe and smell like it I buy another. Cheap ,but fool-proof in the draw. Lifes to short to have a holster on the pistol when you need it.
I just got my Don Hume pocket holster about a week ago. It is my first pocket holster so i can't compare it to anything but I like that it stays in one position while in my pocket. I am happy with it and see no reason to swap it for something else.
If looks is not more important then function, then you can't go wrong with a Mika pocket holster. It is not pretty, but sure works great with my S&W 642.
+1 on the Kramer and the Mika pocket holsters.
I have the Mika and also a DeSantis Nemisis.Both good.
Most times, I carry my j-frame iwb (high noon hidden ally - it's also tuckable, but I don't carry it that way).
That suits my dress style and keeps the gun snug to my side, but occassionaly I carry it in my strong side pocket.
However, pocket carry, while tactically favorable, is not comfortable for me.
I wear loose fitting pleated pants or cargo shorts. I find that there is just too much dangle with pocket carry.
In other words, the gun weighs little but swings with my pants as I walk. I haven't been able to get comfortable with pocket carry.
I have a scissors-modified desantis Nemesis that's about a year old. The j-frame shape is starting to get really pronounced, so it's printing more now than when it did when new.
Another vote for Mika's holsters by a satisfied customer.
Here's his website:
for a tuckable iwb for my j frame, i went with the comp-tac c.t.a.c.
i really like it.

200 miles per tank?! That's what I'm getting with V.
200 miles per tank?! That's what I'm getting with V.
A Cadillac CTS with poor mileage? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you! Round up the usual suspects!
Although the DIC on my 2008 CTS 3.6DI once reported that I got 30 MPG on a round trip from Hermosa Beach to Bishop, California, about 560 miles from sea level to 5000 feet and back, I never again came close to that in either my 2008 or my current 2011 CTS 3.6DI. On some long trips on the freeway the DIC reports about 22 to 24, but it's much worse in town, sometimes as low as 13 MPG when I'm doing only short trips (this town is all of 1.3 square miles).
I have the OnStar Remote Link app on my iPhone. It indicates that I've driven my 2011 CTS a total of 14,318 miles, and that the car's lifetime gas mileage is a whopping 17 MPG.
BTW, I second the comments about using 87 octane in the car. The higher the octane rating, the more the vaporized fuel can be compressed without igniting. That's important in regular gasoline engines -- premature ignition of the fuel causes knock and a loss of power. However, using fuel with an octane rating above 87 is a waste of money in the CTS because of the way the car's direct injection engine works. Fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber under extremely high pressure at precisely the moment of intended ignition -- unlike in a standard gasoline engine, the fuel and air mixture is not further compressed before it explodes. Consequently, the ability of higher octane fuels to be compressed more than lower octane fuels without igniting prematurely is lost and completely irrelevant. Don't waste your money -- understand how the car works.
Clean it up and play nice or "more" people will be given a break from the site!!
Hmmm...my own legion of parrots....Originally Posted by tinman
Step by step. I'm taking her in next week so the issue can be documented and see if they have any solutions. I'm pretty optimistic it'll get worked out. I mean at 200 miles per tank that's literally supercar consumption rates as evidenced by GoHawks post. I either want the mpg I should be getting or the hp to warrant such thirst. As she sits she is lacking in both. At least she is oozing in sexy.

I do have to agree that there is a problem here. Too many AWD drivers with poor MPG. Other manufacturers have gotten in major trouble - why not GM in this case?
For the record my AWD '11 CTS Premium gets poor gas mileage. The RWD '09 CTS Premium I owned for 2+ years was significantly better, in both city and highway driving. I've noticed my '11 AWD car has a higher rolling resistance as compared to my previous '09 RWD car. I know this by simply putting the transmission in neutral and trying to push the car. My '09 RWD could be pushed along quite easily; my '11 AWD is much more difficult to move. I'm guessing this greater rolling resistance is attributable to the transaxle. Maybe some of the [BorgWarner-supplied] transaxles applied to AWD CTS's don't run as freely as they could/should. Added drag, however caused, will negatively affect fuel mileage. I plan to talk to the dealer about this on my next visit.

......as to your gas mileage...i think keeping your injectors clean.is very important......add a good fuel injector cleaner additive to your full gas tank with the 3.6 at least every oil change or say 5-7,000 miles.... I've also been told that yes...all gasoline is basically coming from the same place but that Chevron adds their own carb/injector cleaner additive into their gasoline...sounds good! That may be a good regular fix...
also...run a clean air filter ...it all helps the health and efficiency . Somebody asked about Oil usage...1 qt.is not uncomon for the 3.6 engine to use between changes..That's what my Caddy factory mechanic said..some more than others..and that it's not a problem unless you don't keep it topped up to no more than approx. 1 qt. low..
The rest is just have fun and don't get caught doing it.
^ Okay, well damn - there's the answer for all of us who have AWD and poor gas mileage. Mystery solved, job done.
I gotta clean the injectors on my '11 CTS that has 16,000 KMs (10,000 miles) on the odometer. That'll solve the problem.
My '08 CTS4 3.6 likewise consumed horrendous amounts of fuel. 16-17 in town, 22 on open road. It would have been OK if there was the performance to go along with it, but it just OK. Try an Infiniti 3.6 and see how much difference there is in both performance and fuel economy. Having had a lot of Caddy loaners (far too many) for that garage queen, and many Hertz rentals, I know that the "performance" of mine wasn't lower than normal, but it's fuel consumption was abysmal.
Like owning a boat, the best day with that car was when it went away.
I'll throw in my two cents, linda gets 22-23mpg city; I don't believe the DIC, the proof is in
the pudding, do it the old fashioned way, miles driven divided by gals, simple simon, easy
peasy. our friend from Maryland does have a point. thanks, Douglas
^ Well that's interesting Douglas, in that you claim your wife gets 22-23 mpg in city-only driving with a 2011 CTS4. That's an incredible (incredulous) 4-5 mpg greater than the official government fuel economy rating ("city") for the car for both the 3.6L and the 3.0L engine. In the city where you live there mustn't be any stop signs or traffic lights, and similarly no stop & go traffic.
Not sure if anyone here has ever talked about poor gas mileage with their 3.0L equipped CTS4, which is apparently the engine in your wife's car. This thread (and several others like it that discuss poor gas mileage) center around the high-feature 3.6L engine, particularly when paired with AWD.

Perhaps she drives only downhill....
I have a 2010 AWD wagon with the 3.0. When I got the car with 12K miles on it, it got very bad mileage (12-14). I had a very short commute of 3 miles with about 600 ft elevation changes both ways. On the first couple of trips on the highway at about 70 mph average, I got 22-24. I used premium fuel and achieved slightly better mileage, enough to warrant the higher cost on trips. I did this multiple times, to prove that it was statistically significant(about 30 tanks each). As the car got driven more, the car got better mileage, and consistently better range. This is even with my foot in it. I can now get 475-500 miles consistently on a tank of gas on the highway, or about 26-28 mpg. In city driving, when I am commuting back and forth to work (3 miles each way) I get about 16-18 mph. That is line with the EPA mileage - which is notoriously high. There are other luxury cars that get better mileage - the Chrysler 300 with the V6 gets about 31 mpg, but I am happy with the car overall.
