Samsung RF711 17.3in Core i7 laptop
Sandy Bridge heavyweight
Posted in Personal Tech, 11th July 2011 12:05 GMT
Review It's not unusual for desktop replacements to have a bit of heft, but Samsung's RF711 positively throws caution to the wind. Tipping the scales at an obese 2.9kg and measuring 416mm across (almost one-and-a-half feet), it's only a laptop in the sense that the screen folds down to cover the keyboard when you've finished using it. In short, it looks like a prop from The Borrowers – use it on your lap and you can expect to lose circulation to your feet.
Going large: Samsung's RF711
Its size brings with it some real portability issues. Simply heaving it from one place to another is exhausting enough, but you can forget about using it, say, on an aeroplane tray table. And, while you could use it on the tables you get in train carriages you should steel yourself for some dirty looks from your now-ousted neighbours.
Still, its enormous case shields some top-end components. You would expect a machine this big to come with a decent amount of computational poke, and the RF711 doesn't disappoint. The quad-core Intel Core-i7 2360QM at its heart is a 2GHz Sandy Bridge number, and there's no less than 6GB of DDR3 RAM on-board. The RF711 fairly flew along under heavy use and produced a spectacular set of numbers under PCMark, with an overall score of 7073.
3D performance is a little less impressive. The Core i7 processor comes with Intel's HD Graphics 3000 onboard, but is supplanted in more demanding applications by a discrete Nvidia GT 540M chip with 1024MB of dedicated memory. It chuntered through 3DMark Vantage, although the framerate didn't get much higher than 15fps. The final score was 4455: a reasonable result that makes the RF711 good enough for mid-level gaming, if not full-resolution frag sessions.
On computers that offer a halfway house between desktop power and usability, and laptop portability, it's normal for battery life to be the chief casualty. Left repeating PCMark's tests with the screen on full brightness the RF711 ran for 1hr 42m before the battery was depleted. With the screen dimmed and the machine left otherwise idle, it went for 2hr 48m.
Two USB 3.0 ports are featured among the interface count
The times are reasonably respectable, particularly since the RF711's portability is more affected by its size and weight than by how long you can use it away from the mains. A fair compromise, most would agree, for the three-figure price.
Performance charts
But if graphics performance isn't particularly tricked-out, Samsung has capitalised in other places. For example, there's not one but two hard disks inside, both offering 500GB of storage and split, on my review system, into one standalone 500GB disk, and two smaller partitions. In total a terabyte of storage is a practical amount for a machine like this, and it's also useful to be able to split up the disks into practically-sized partitions.

Longer bars are better
A final approving nod goes to the optical drive on the right hand side, which can write to all flavours of CD and DVD, and can read Blu-ray discs, although pedants will note that the screen's 900-pixel high resolution doesn't permit proper 1080p playback.
Not the full 1080p Monty, but close
Even so, the screen is huge. A 17.3in diagonal is complemented by a 1,600 x 900 resolution, and it's extremely bright. As ever, a snort of derision is directed at the glossy finish, which makes a great first impression but loses its appeal the second you try to get anything done when there are lights behind you. It's saved by very good viewing angles – students will have no trouble crowding a few friends around to watch films.
Spatial awareness
Ergonomics are good, which is fair considering the amount of space on offer. The keyboard, for example, is nicely spread out across the width of the base and you'll have no trouble getting up to speed. It's also a solid, if slightly hollow-feeling, affair. Spreadsheet users will also note the number pad on the right hand side.
The numeric keypad will please some, the offset trackpad will annoy others
The whole thing could do with being a bit more spread out: the number pad is right next to the main keyboard, which is fine, but the arrow keys below get lost in the cluster. The trackpad is offset relative to the main body of the machine and is a reasonable example, although the click of the buttons could use a little refinement.
As is fitting for a machine designed to replace your desktop, the RF711 has a decent cluster of ports. Those with external peripherals aren't ignored - two USB 2.0 ports on the left hand side are complemented by a USB 3 port on the right edge, and another USB 3 port on the back.
Those who have made the transition to digital displays get an HDMI port and – helpfully for those lumbered with legacy monitors and projectors – there's a VGA port on the same side. Photographers are catered for by an SD card slot along the front edge.
Good value, good performance, but way too heavy to lug around on a regular basis
As machinery goes, the RF711 is only slightly more portable than the Large Hadron Collider, which is to say you shouldn't buy it if you want to use it on your commute or take it on a plane. What it does have is absolutely stacks of computing power, making it a great choice for those who need something with the power of a decent desktop in a low-profile, fit-in-a-drawer case.
The screen is massive and comfortable to work on, and Samsung has used the width of the RF711 to great effect, with an ample, solid keyboard. It gets even better when you consider the price - compare this to the slightly slower Sony Vaio VPCF21Z1E, which costs nearly two grand and has a smaller screen, albeit a 3D-capable one with more pixels. With a street price currently under a thousand pounds, the RF711 is a great, portable (sort of), all-round computer. Just don't call it a laptop. ®

TK is happy to report that nearly all of the people who engage K-pop seriously--such as writers and journalists about the topic--generally agreed with my post that argued K-pop is not a genre. (There was one exception, whose objections I will address below.) But there were a number of silly responses about this point, so here is another try.
A different way to framed this debate is: is the term "k-pop" a descriptor or a term of art? In my view, "k-pop" is a descriptor, while a number of people insist "k-pop" is a term of art that denotes a concept. And they are wrong.
A descriptor accepts the plain meaning of the word. For example, unless there is additional context (more on this later,) the words "a brown dog" are a descriptor, indicating a canine that is brown in color. If a person told you (again, without additional context) that "I just saw a brown dog," something along the lines of the following images should pop up in your mind:
On the other hand, if this kind of image pops in your head...
... then, there is something wrong with you, because this is an image of a white cat. No matter how you wish it to be, "brown" does not mean "white," and "dog" does not mean "cat."
(More after the jump.)

This is not a trivial point. In the previous post, I wrote: "In our current, "post-truth" world, it is more important than ever to insist that words must mean what they say." I did not write those words as a gag; it is my sincerely, fervently held belief that words must mean what they say, because the easiest way to lie is to pretend words mean something other than what they say. This kind of lie corrupts our thought process and pushes us into taking actions that we otherwise would not take. This is the central insight of George Orwell's famous essay, Politics and the English Language:
"In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness."
This insight was what drove Orwell's dystopian classic 1984, set in a world in which war is peace, freedom is slavery, and two plus two is five. A world not unlike our current world, in which the head of the state of the United States of America would blatantly lies about what is plainly untrue--such as the crowd size for his inauguration--and his followers buy into this bullshit rather than believing their own eyes.
So. The word "K-pop" must mean what it says. "K" obviously stands for "Korea," and "pop" obviously stands for "pop music." This meaning must hold, unless... "k-pop" is a term of art, rather than a descriptor. And my point is: "K-pop" cannot be anything other than "popular music of Korea," because it is not a term of art.

U.S. unveils plan to preserve historical recordings
(Reuters) - The U.S. Library of Congress on Wednesday unveiled a plan to preserve historically significant and imperiled sound recordings and make important ones more accessible to the public.
The plan calls for the on-demand streaming of out-of-print recordings, the construction of a secure long-term storage facility and a directory of recorded-sound collections.
Recordings with high historical value, including music, speeches and interviews, have gone missing, been destroyed or decayed over time, the Library of Congress said.
"Our collective energy in creating and consuming sound recordings has not been matched by an equal level of interest in preserving them for posterity," Librarian of Congress James Billington said in a statement.
The statement did not say how much the plan would cost. Congress appropriates between $1 million and $1.5 million annually for the library's film and sound recording preservation projects.
The Library of Congress cited several historically important recordings that have gone missing or were destroyed because it lacked a preservation plan.
A World War Two wire recording of the Enola Gay crew members as the plane dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, is missing, as are key recordings by American composer George Gershwin.
Recordings by singers and silver screen actors Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra are also lost, while some personal collections by recording artists were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Superstorm Sandy last year.
It is estimated that more than half of cylinder records, the most-used format in the first two decades of the U.S. recording industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, no longer survive, the library said. Continued...

I didn't want to get into this but one statement rubbed me the wrong way:
So did the Hemi ever do well in road racing? No it didn't, no big blocks ever did no matter who made them. Sure dodge built a good engine for the Trans-Am series in the late 60's into the 70's, not a Hemi, a 340.
So where else did the Hemi make its mark? No where, if it wasn't straight line racing. I cannot even tell you for sure if the Hemi was even allowed in Nascar sanctioned events. (I'll have to find out) Even if they were there for the reign of the SuperBird, I can guarantee you the engine had a very minimal part of winning those races, it was the design of the car. It was Nascars SuperBirds, Daytonas that won races. It was so innovative they outlawed it because of its dominance.
Now I've said it a hundred times, the Hemi was a good engine, made great power. But it was not the only engine built back in the Muscle Car days like some Mopar boys would lead you to believe. As far as race heritage goes I think the only North American car that ever did any good in that era on the International stage was built by Ford. Cobra, GT40 etc. Thats hard for me to say cause I'm no Ford fan, but I think its true. I just get sick of the Mopar guys saying Hemi's this, Hemi's that. Relax on the Hemi Kick guys, Mopar did build other great, if not better performers. I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion, just don't make a bold statement that just isn't true. You preach Mopar, I'll Keep preachin' Chevy, just don't make it sound like there was only one good mill, makes Mopar sound bad.
OK Bonuts, and all the rest, maybe you are missing my point.....
If we had someone running around following a Chevy guy with the phrase "chev-ro-let-me-down" in all his posts, or in posts that had absolutely nothing to do with Chevys, time and time again- would you think the name-caller was being a bit of a jerk?
In a car enthusiasts forum?
I like all sorts of engines, not just Hemis. Not by a long shot.
i read alot of magazines and even in the latest i got that is doing a ford 351 build up they say that there is no way a factory 351 can match a 350 because the factory didnt give them the horsepower to. maybe with a set of AFR's or some such they should be equal. i never have been a ford fan anyway. as for the older hemi's they had to make alot of power to make up for their un-godly weight. which is probably why they didnt do that well outside of drag racing although i am pretty sure they were used in the nascar superbirds/daytonas, but they got outlawed shortly thereafter. they had by far the best head design of the day. in last years engine masters challange a chevy won but a ford was right on his nooksack, a virtual tie. sherman built it and it was near $20,000. so to whoever said he built a 400hp 302 for $2000 i say you missed a zero in there. if anybody can get 400hp for $2000 they must have spent it on a nos system and nothing on internals and that doesnt sound like a sherman project to me. sounds like the hrm "junk yard dog" projects, which i totally endorse btw. just take a used engine, throw some nitrous on it and wait for it to grenade, then buy a new one! i hadda 392 in my first ride and the damn thing couldnt get out of its own way. it was stock but it was in a t-bucket with headers. could have been the way too tall slicks on it too tho. but when it comes to spending money on engine parts, the hemi is the king. as for new engines, how can you beat the hp/torque numbers gm's new crate engines are puttin out? american speed enterprises has a 450hp crate sbc for under 5K, i guess that's how, but if you got the brain power to figure out the wiring, a used ls-1 out of a wreck would be hard to beat esp if you can score the 6 sp with it.
BOP engines and caddys make tremendous power but not high rpm's except for the 400 pontiac. i've seen stock buick torque figures that would poke yer eyeballs out! as well as boat drag olds-mo-bubbles that rev to 6800rpm. what ever floats yer boat, (ha) but to answer the bowtie vs blue oval Q i've given my opinion.

Bullheimer, dont take my word for it... just click here
He could CLICK HERE!?!?!
wow crazy mopar guy! too cool for this school. hey tm454 i believe you now, but this guy DOES own a machine shop after all. now i couldnt read all them itsy bitsy letters in the article but i would have to bet i couldn't begin to afford all the machine work he did to it for free. but i did read the line where it says YOU could duplicate it for under $2500. unfortunately i couldnt find my die grinder with both hands! so I couldnt duplicate it for no 2500.
jeeze, that big long wheelie with NO wheelie bars!
I Heard somewere that came out with an engine with pent roof heads. What do you guys know about that? Now no offense to anyone I am here to learn, but I heard that it was suposed to be better than the hemi. What do you guys think?
Schubeck makes a 4 valve per cylinder Hemi, it has a "pent roof" chamber.
It's a "pent roof Hemi".
I guess each engine has it's own territory, or territories, but the four valve per cylinder stuff has a ton of design superiorities that can be taken advantage of?
Dodge Neons, Audis, Volvos, all use a pent roof chamber in various applications.
yeah I had an old 78 cordoba that had a 360 in it. When I was rebuilding the motor it reall dawned on me how much I really liked the 360 mopar. I am a ford man all the way but I really think it is more convienient or easier to work on mopar engines. But I am ford blue tried and true but you gotta love them mopars.
Hey Deuce _454. I just read the article for the first on the 400 H.P. 302. I couldn't believe that my 302 has almost the same specs. Same cam only with a .496 lift instead of the .517 and I'm running roller rockers. I'm using a 600 cfm Holly verses his 750. Small world. Hey Bull, I used my die grinder. Norm.
Instead of comparing hp between a 351 and a 350, compare the the quality of the two. I think I would like to hear your opinion bullheimer. I think I like your style.
In my opinion, I don't like the chevy exhaust port design. The 2 in the middle has got to store alot of heat near the center of the head. Plus the length of 2 center header tubes is shorter than the outer 2 per head. So I don't even know what that would do for backpressure. Are there any benefits to this design that I'm not thinking about?
I like the Ford ones better. Everything is spaced out evenly. Looks better, probably cooler. Still not sure about the ramifications of backpressure, can anyone explain?
i dont know much about fords quality because i never got into them. as for block thickness etc. i couldnt even begin to tell you. i can tell you that yeah, chevy does have a little prob with the siamesed ex. ports and i really wish the guy who decided to put the distributor in the back of the engine had one shoved up his happy hole! as for general overall quality, since chevy's camaro went **** up due to lack of craftsmanship and ford is still selling a ton of mustangs, i would have to give that to ford. i also prefered ford 4x4's to chevy's as well even tho i own a chev. but only because in the late 70's ford put limited slip front and rears in their trucks while chevy used open gears, which blow.
even tho magazine writers may or may not know what the hell they are talking about and i just said this in my pony car post i will quote you word for word an article about a FORD build up 347 stroker to be exact , out of a truck mag: oct 2003 custom classic truck::
"the chevy small block is undoubtedly the king of racing and hot rodding, but there is little doubt that the ford small block beats everything else for a solid second rankning in performance engines. in the mid 60's the mustang debut was a success because the high perf. 289 competed on an even footing with the chevy 283. as the muscle car era progressed, the small block ford 289 and 302 fell behind in performance to the larger 327 and 350 chevys. the maxs hp of a production line boss 302 was 290 hp, while there wer numerous factory stock small block chevys that easily exceeded that number. when ford eventually upped the displacement of the small blocks to 351 in 1969, the performance still never exceeded 290 hp "
later he talks about how the ford heads have a hump that restricts flow, needs to be enlarged to at least 160 cc from 145 to match a chevy, and bags on the stock intake design with too sharp of bends due to intake ports being some close to the carb and some far away ( dont dont have any idea what he's talking about) and the smaller size of the valves.
just that writers opionion.

Yeah, I tested more on the way home last night. Every time (not just the first - I guess I usually just give up and don't start over) I pressed the voice button during a 40 minute commute, it says Device Initializing, and I can't get it to recognize the names of any of my contacts. I'll try disconnecting the ipod next time and see if it continues.
Dan / Pete - are you guys using stock or third party ROMs?
I have a feeling that a lot of these 'bugs' are going to be fixed in this update ...
My wife's 2013 srx is:
Software: 22973336
Gracenote: 22973339
Hope this helps.
So in this case the ATS and the SRX clearly have different software versions.
Any other ATS or SRX owners care to chime in for comparison?..
Also adding an XTS's #'s would be helpful also.
I'd really like to know if there are different versions within the same model.

Codeman, Is the update going improve the GUI responsiveness at all? It seems like its a bit laggy sometimes particularly in the Nav mode where I find the pinch/zoom to be very slow. Im sure the HW is an issue here as well but I assume code optimization might help the overall response. Your using Linux and an open-source C compiler?
How do I find my software number for my SRX? Thanks!

Even a new head coach couldn't help the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders crushed the Blue Bombers 52-0 on Sunday, dealing Tim Burke a loss in his CFL debut as a head coach.
Burke replaced the fired Paul LaPolice last weekend.
"I'm not used to getting my ass kicked," Burke said. "We got down early and the score snowballed."
Saskatchewan took full advantage of the reeling Bombers, ending a five-game losing streak to stay competitive in the CFL West. The Roughriders are now 4-5, but within reach of the third-place Calgary Stampeders in the hotly-contested division.
"Our guys are hungry," said Saskatchewan head coach Corey Chamblin. "They needed this. This is the one we really needed to move on."
Saskatchewan amassed a net offence of 422 yards compared to a meagre 102 for Winnipeg (2-7).
"I can't think of any aspect of the game that we won," said Burke.
Bombers quarterback Joey Elliot thinks his team needs to regroup and refocus.
"We have to move on to the game next week," said Elliott, who completed nine of 19 passes for only 61 yards with one interception. His reliever Alex Brink was also ineffective, completing five of seven passes for 35 yards.
"When the wheels fall off, the wheels fall off," said Elliott. "It's going to happen. The best thing about it is that we've got another game in seven days."
Chamblin, on the other hand, was pleased with his team's performance in every aspect.
"We would win in a couple of phases, each one would take its turn," said Chamblin. "But today we won in all phases."
Darian Durant threw touchdown passes of 25 and 21 yards to Weston Dressler. He left the game early in the third quarter with what appeared to be a lower-body injury and was replaced by backup quarterback Drew Willy, who fired a 43-yard touchdown pass to Terence Jeffers-Harris. Willy also scored a touchdown himself on a one-yard plunge late in the game.
Durant completed 13 of 19 passes for 168 yards, and also carried the ball four times for 38 yards. According to Chamblin, he was kept out of the game strictly as a precaution.
Saskatchewan's Kory Sheets rushed for 106 yards, including a lengthy 37-yard dash. He also caught two passes for a total of 16 yards.
Tyron Brackenridge blocked a Mike Renaud punt and returned it 15 yards for a Saskatchewan touchdown. He also intercepted an Elliott pass and returned it 39 yards to set up a field goal.
Sandro DeAngelis converted all four Rider majors and kicked field goals of 50, 29, 46, 30 and 26 yards. Chris Milo added punt singles of 39 and 68 yards.
The Riders led 10-0 after the first quarter, 28-0 at the half and 42-0 after three quarters.
Last year Saskatchewan defeated Winnipeg 21-7 in the Labour Day Classic. The Riders have now prevailed in eight straight. The last time the Bombers won it was in 2004.
The two teams meet again in Winnipeg next Sunday in the Banjo Bowl.
Burke, for one, is hoping for better results.
"All I can do is try my best," he said. "We've got to dig down deep and pull out the best performance we can find."

When my final shadows cling on desperately
Where I fight formidable battles
to merely hold the light
I send you loving vibrations
and soul sustenance
Deep from the cathedral
of one heart to another
where today no choirs sing
nor symphonies play
Yet it is here where we meet
in spiritual solace
here to surrender
and exchange inestimable treasures
recollecting memories
like unopened letters
Galaxies are stretched
over chronicles of shared history
Nebula birthing stars
will be exposed
in forth-coming conversations
bringing short-lived fulfillment to you
Hungry to feast
now will be the time
to approve your blood art vision
and with my own haunting surrender
as dappled shades ink stain your chest
I will reside with you and share, mesmerised
pens - by branding
as this will be your written reams to me
your artist's pallet or brushed canvas
no need for words
and yet creating
mysterious magical moments
Bitter-sweet the music
that dances taut guitar strings
but now blood approved
please go kick your heel up
return to your laughter
and ride on the breeze
for not all are lost
change not
for I am with you always
to love, listen and comfort as one
with you in me and I in you
as masterpiece

Dedicated to my Dad Jerry W. Niday 3/20/1952 - 6/18/2013
I am who I am because of him
He's the reason for my son's name
He gave me my courage & my strength
To stand tall even when standing wasn't easy
Stand for the ones who can't
To think and fend for myself
I'm my Daddy made over
Taught me to fight back
To never back down
How to pick myself back up
When I've been knocked down
Fight for what I believe
I'm my Daddy made over
He gave me my stubbornness
Gave me my pride
Gave me my temper
Taught me not to take crap
To speak my mind no matter who
Work for what I want
I'm my Daddy made over
How to keep my emotions in check
How to handle large amounts of pain
When in trouble he always had my back
He knew how my mind worked better than anyone
I got it from him
I'm my Daddy made over
Even though he's gone
I'll stand and continue on
I may stumble I may fall
May even get hurt along the way
But I'll pick myself back up
I'll dust myself off and stand tall
I'm honored and proud to say
I'm my Daddy made over

The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.

Inspired by the song "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam
You had just gotten your first car, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air,
We were only seventeen years old and neither had a care,
You came over after school and asked me to go for a drive,
We longed for freedom of the road, we never felt so alive.
Always the gentleman, as you opened the powder blue door,
But, after tonight you would be doing this for me no more,
I remember how the moonlight shined off of the chrome,
When you picked me up and I would never return home.
I cannot ever stop thinking about and replaying our past,
I still remember your soft kiss, and it would be our last,
Because, this tender embrace would never happen again,
There was no way that either of us could've known it then.
The impact was so sudden that I felt almost no pain,
As the car swerved out of control into the other lane,
It all happened so fast, there was no time to scream,
Now my existence is a nightmare, just some bad dream.
My body grew cold fast, but I could still feel the heat,
Of the warm blood dripping down onto the leather seat,
I lay there silently, nearly lifeless, held against your shoulder,
It was then I realized that I would not be growing older.
The radio faded away as I closed my eyes for the last time,
What happened to me was an accident, and not a crime,
I will wait for you on this spot, by the very same tree,
Where most people don't notice, but some of them see.
It's an anniversary, it will be 58 years around midnight,
The misting rain and lingering fog will keep me from sight,
As the headlights go flying by, shining from modern cars,
I'm hoping one of them will be you to take me to the stars.
When I do leave this world, side by side we will stand,
And this bad dream will finally be over as you take my hand,
I am waiting to go to heaven, only you can bring me there,
In your brand new, powder blue 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air.

I don't know why I'm feeling down
but sadness fills my heart,
my breathing's slow, my mind's withdrawn,
this mood will not depart.
I have not got the energy
that usually fills my life,
I want to sit and rest my soul
from all my daily strife.
There's no particular reason
why just now I feel this way,
a lethargy just fills my thoughts,
I'd like to drift away.
To lands I knew on far off shores
where sunshine warmed my day,
when I lay on the golden sand
just passing time away.
I feel that I should meditate
to try to clear my mind
and listen to my inner self
to see what I can find.
The reason for this mood I'm in
is slowly coming clear,
it's others linking with my soul,
I feel that friends are near.
Their presence I hold dearly
so a little time I'll find
to sit with them a moment
while they nestle in my mind.
To share their love of living
I am joined with them as one
for the peace that they are bringing
is much warmer than the sun.
So the mood I thought was sadness
was a quietness of my soul,
I'd mistook the gentle presence
of the one's who'd joined the whole.
They'd a lesson for my feelings,
though I thought that I was down,
in my mind I'd been mistaken
it was inner peace I'd found.

Scatter me there where the winds are sweet
To the blue of the sky and the sun's bright heat
On Oliver's Camp where the dragon lines meet
Scatter me there on the hill
Scatter me there where the waters flow
Where the weeping mourners come and go
Down by The Wharf where the ducklings grow
Scatter me there on the bridge
Scatter me there where the earth sees all
When the pond is lit by a moonbeam's fall
Where the children play and the drunkards brawl
Scatter me there on the green
Scatter me there where the griffons play
Where the waters pour the hours away
In the pool of the fountain on Market Day
Scatter me there in the stream
Scatter me there with the silent dead
Where ages of souls have been buried and wed
And the angels cavort among coffins of lead
Scatter me there by the church
Scatter me there where the townsfolk cried
And strew flowers on the steps when Diana died
On the stair where 'tis said that Ruth Pierce lied
Scatter me there on the cross
Scatter me here and leave me be
On every street, under every tree
Until I am dust and memory
Scatter me here where I'm free

Sometimes in the course of history, there comes along a man.
He is righteous and afraid.
Bound by the might of his mind.
Learned and full of insight, he can tell you most anything you need to know.
But he is human.
And must also be a person,
But a person is a mask.
A character in a story,
He knows the story isn't written right.
He sees the wickedness of your thought,
Deeper than the fear he feels in telling you.
You are wrong.
It's not your fault.
You can only borrow at first.
But you have to see the shadows to know of them,
And you must create to know they are not.
We deal in shadows, projections, made from a character of our own creation.
Break character.
I know you can.
Wake up.

The morning glory vines hold leaves of green
but the sky is growing gray
The lilac bush sits lush and green
but my eyes are filled with gray
The pine tree stands so tall and green
but hope is fading gray
Memories of days past so fresh and green
are faint in a mind waxing gray...
But though I must become a solemn gray
I know that one day the spirit will again be young and green

I'm lost hurt and angry
Why did you take his life
I want, No I need to know
Tell me, Tell me why
I deserve to know
Haven't you done enough to him
What'd he ever do to you
He suffered his whole life
Suffered more than anyone deserved
Tell me, Tell me why you did it
I have a right to know
Why'd you let him born to them
Born to worthless parents
Parents who didn't care
They threw him away like garbage
Pawned him off on someone else
Tell me, Tell me why
Explain how you could do that
You gave him Polio
You let others treat him like disease
You took away the full use of his legs
You warped his hand and foot
Tell me, Explain to me why
I deserve to know
You let others think he was crazy
You let it go on for over year
You didn't stop it, Why
Tell me, Give me your reason
Answer me God, Help me to understand
You go and make matters worse
You gave him Cancer
You didn't give him a chance to fight back
You just jerked him away from us
Tell me, Tell me how
How you could be so cruel
How can others not question you
When others do it, It's murder
But when it's by your hand
It's your will, Their fate
Tell me, What makes you so different
Your no better than the demons knocking at the door
You heard me beg and plead
You know I'm not afraid to die
I was willing to carry it all for him
I was willing to take my Daddy's place
You didn't even let me say Goodbye
Tell me, Tell me why I couldn't take his place
Answer me God, you owe me that much
I know its the summer time because of how naturally
Your beauty compliments the caress of a summer breeze
As I watch the world from beneath a shady tree
I take in the delightful comfort of everything I see
But in the same breath I am holding up my hands
Lord will you please give me back the things I no longer have
They are even more a part of me now that they are gone
As the sun falls below where the horizon is still holding on
Somewhere between the falling light and a star lit night
Is a dream that last forever and will never say goodbye
As the wind gently blows through the brush and shakes the leaves
It begins to hum a melody that I want to sing
At that very moment I smile for all the joy I have
Its so uplifting for me to see melancholy dance
Soon the morning sun will rise and capture my eyes
As I watch the hand of God paint a brand new sky
With every stroke of color I swallow all my pride
And I find a new place to dream of endless times
If I should ever get to the place I left my broken heart
Only then will I believe this brand new day will start
Again Im reminded of why my heart beats so restlessly
Only the speed of thought and my soul beneath this tree

What Is This Church All About?
Is this church meant for people like me?
Is this where God really wants me to be?
They claim to be filled with God's spirit.
When it comes to HIS truth... Can they give it?
I'm sure there's many who come and attend
It's more than "church on Sunday," that we must spend!
We must reach out to the lost and the oppressed!
After all, Christ gave us his very best!
May we all preach the gospel and God's holiness!
And strive to seek his awesome righteousness!
Living for Jesus must be a daily walk and experience!
Not simply based on our "ambitious self appearance."
God isn't interested in a denomination or a title…
He wants to know… Do we really believe the Bible?
He's not interested in the money put in the offering plate.
He wants to know; "Are you ready
to enter heaven's gate?"
May we strive to serve Jesus with a zeal and passion!
And be filled with his holiness and compassion!
May we serve Jesus from a heart of humbled confession!
And making our commitment to him,
our #1 possession!
"Unless the Lord builds the house."
They labor in vain that build it!
Let's seek the power of God!
May his presence completely fill it!!

Beauty of nature
Why condense it down to God?
Isn't life enough?
Rob me of my purity,
But once again it's all my fault;
Fell into the trap of false promises
Because I pressed play instead of pause.

I have fallen victim so many times
To nobody's fault except only mine.
I will ask for forgiveness and have faith,
Even though I feel like I am not saved.
Was it said before? Sure.
Was it said this way? I doubt it.
Perspective is in no way obscure,
And his works are nothing without it.
His motivation's observed in daily life,
Misery, not just some vague inspiration.
He begs for reason, some way to lessen strife;
His words reflect a resounding desperation.
There seems a need at times to clarify,
But that's allowed in his terms only;
So many thoughts seem somewhat 'rarefied',
Fed his fire, but made him lonely.
No 'underachiever', not just another fool,
But still seeking solace by the glass;
Tempering his stagger and his drool
With just a bit of 'kiss my ass.'
But, usually, genius 'sots' come to ground,
Lucid moments - on the square;
Their driving 'bolts' of genius, word or sound,
Only written because they dare.
Yes, you can feel the written "heart",
But few of us can realize that sort of pain;
No isolated misery… of many lives a part,
Each begs an answer... "Who'll stop the rain?"
Yes, he's lived it, seen it, and told it well;
But Timing is the Master of one's Fate.
Is the timing right? Funny…only time will tell…
Will you will be a whining sot or dare to be great?
One success can be lucky, we've seen that before.
One book, one song, then quietly fade away.
But six novels later, we should know the score;
He must have had something to say.
So, at the perfect time, someone heard.
Someone who was "someone" took someone under wing.
And to those with interest and empathy, they sold his words;
Saying they "are genius" and with "ugly truth" they ring.
But did he create any redeeming changes or impacts?
Yes, what singular influence did all his artful whining bring?
None... just a relentless, repetitive diatribe of sad facts.
Oh, yes…..and a little "ching ching".

Why are you so devilishly addicting?
I come back from you,
It looks like I'm on drugs:
High and drunk,
Out of my mind.
The demons inside us braid hairs
Until we're peaceful meadows apart,
Nuclear wars together.
I did it again; I need forgiven.
Will He still forgive me even though I've fallen before?
I've fallen into these same sins countless times before;
I still haven't learned my lesson.
I am an ignorant hypocrite.
Am I still forgiven?
My sorrow, is overwhelming my 'entire' soul
for my jaded life, my dear "Nath"
would be the next breath taken away
Why does God continue taking those
who play the most critical rolls
my life will never come to see
any hint of ease
no way
Heart heavy loss and pain
all consuming me again
God, I plea with you
leave me those that I love for just a day
It's become that time of the year
my Nathan was taken with the swine's curse
tears flood my entire being, why do you always insist I live entirely 'alone'
Sorrow just in this year now at 'half point' has finally taken the 'full' toll
I no longer see, any thing as my destiny that I shall 'exude'
When, will it 'ever' be my turn, I wait..to become the next called to heaven
am" I not worthy, of your abundant grace?
You, seem to take 'everyone' I 'entrust' to a faraway land
Nathan Reide' these are my tears containing, the 'most sorrow' I've ever let fall
But, every memory of you and me, stop all of the pain
just, another pain and despair to add to my life's endurance 'till'
I long, for peace, joy and 'any' kind of life would do me,
at this point of my life, I can not take anymore, seriously, lighten up on me!
I fear in new friends, how long..before you conclude they too will end
You bless me with a loving husband, mother, father, niece
When do you think you might, 'let' me see them... this is my plea
returning me back into church, I am in need off being blessed
How 'come' you did take that away from me?
faith in me stayed 'strong' you alone know the extent
I need to move 'now' I have stayed still, and achieved what I think I was to become a poet
I assume that was 'my reason' why you kept here
With that now in full swing
can you now spread my wings
You are 'overpowering' my soul, and I now do as I am told
patience never was my best strength, have I 'not' proved to you
I'm completely at your mercy, you are the entity that drives the heart of me
with all that, I need a break between all these sorrowful times, may I now move
This is the deepest of despair, I have ever endured, please see me through
I am more than 'positive' I WILL NOT make it through, another emotional trial
Not to be left here, still bleeding the way I still am...
darkness has taking more of my light I'm loosing all sight, of who is me
My heart full of anguish and grief, depression takes her advantage, of the ease
I have nothing worth finding joy or enlightenment anyway, she will have me
I don't have any strength to even consider the thought of even trying this time
in defending myself against her this time
She only win's by default...

Her eyes never leave
the moonlit horizon.
She will wait
an eternity, if she must.
She paces
as the tides
crash forth, then recede
back to the ocean.
Only memories
return here.
The ship departing
from the docks,
the sun sparkling
on the water,
a pair of dolphins
through the surface.
They had seen it
while in each other's arms.
Yet, now they
are distant
The sky turned ominous,
dark waters
engulfed the ship.
Everything went dark,
they lost sight
of each other
beneath the churning waves.
Her lungs
filled with salt water
as she desperately
gasped for air,
for life.
She drowned
the same day he did.
Her soul
washed ashore
along with her
cold, lifeless body.
She remains
haunting the coast.
Her feet leave
no imprints
in the sand.
She moves
with the wind,
drifts upon it,
like sea-foam
atop the waves.
The dark water
through her
transparent form.
Her spirit's heart glows,
shining outward
like a lighthouse beacon
showing him the way
to her arms.
She is waiting
for him
to rejoin her.
He will return
just as she has.

The innocence is transfusing

There's something unspecific about the autumn nights
A certain shade of color that uplifts my inner child's eyes
Beside a cashmere moon Venus and Jupiter shine bright
Complimented by a sea of blinking infinite twilight
The scent of burning oak lingers in the air from home made fires
Reminiscent of a time when this man was just a child
Careless and so free to dream and any dream to live
Like feathers floating across a field carried by the wind
As a gentle breeze blows through the leaves shivering delightful gloom
Unlike flowers of springtime the disheveled autumn vibrance bloom
Leaves crackle beneath my feet along the skeleton tree path
Where I try to find my peace or a song to make me laugh
The air is so much crisper and also soothing when I breathe it in
Underneath a starry sky and brighter constellations of Heaven
Amidst the trail I pass a lovely couple holding hands
While their children run aside frolicking in a playful dance
An old man and his wife admire the view from a wooden bench
With smiles on their face as if nostalgia is still their closest friend
Its these specific autumn affects that bring me sorrows and joy
Reminding me of all theses things Ive wanted as a man since I was a little boy
Its times like these that I wish I wasn't always so alone
Because I would light an fire with my family and call it home
Chairs lined with stripes,
green and white,
became ski jump ramps
for feelings, innocent and pure,
taking off from the edge
hoping to defy the gravity of fears.
Only a lucky few made it,
others turned into tears
landing on the grass of Green Park
as the warm air was getting dark.

You've tried to make into a laughingstock
You've tried to fill my heart with discontent
You've tried to add scorn to my name
You've tried to bring damnation upon my home
You've tried to bring me and my family to shame
You've tried to fill my brain with thoughts of ending life
but now you want to tilt my halo into your crooked crown!

It was a home on the river we lived .
It was the ghost of a young man whom had taken his own life.
I still remember the vision of him walking by me with a blank stare
We, as a Family of seven , moved into this river house
Panoramic views right out to the river , I should mention
I was home alone as a child , looking out at "The Julia Belle Swan " as she went by .
Upstairs in that room as I saw a figure walking by , with very nice features , auburn hair
I thought he was my older brother , a handsome young guy
Then I realized the young man was not my brother , a apparition he appeared .
He was not there to scare or frighten ,
the message I believe he wanted to shed light on, so clear.
He walked right by ,then disappeared through the window, out to the River .
The Ghost knew I could see him , a gift I have been given
when I was a younger child of five , I had once died for a short time. I was lifted by Jesus in Heaven . Death is not for us to decide .
Later in the years we moved from that home , every home we lived in had a story
or a presence of its own . My Mother had told me later , a young man took his life there .
Keep fighting your way through life and its despair ,
you are important to someone whom cares . If you feel alone and want life to end , Please pick up the phone , call anyone , call for help , call a Friend .
"This is not fiction , it truly is a gift I have been given "

I can act insane
But DO NOT
Make me feel worthless
I belong in God's family
He will bless my future generation
Don't punish me for
Being myself –
Don't envy my glee
I can act like an
Adult, but I'd
Prefer to have joy…
Not stress…
That piles upon us in our
Everyday lives
Being childlike is
A rare beauty –
No one prizes it…
No one came across it…
In this lifetime…
I can laugh all day
I can make you smile
If you'd accept my
Childlike dreams of mine
Don't treat me like a sick swine
Renew my young heart
Give me the ability
To kill the old man…
I have my place in God's family
He'll be adored and glorified
We'll exchange prayers and hugs
By my future generation
I beg of you –
Don't kill my childlike mentality
I'll behave myself…
I'm positively sure that I'll make you happy
I'll still have pieces of a child in me
And pass it on to my future generation…

We would go to the forgotten towns of west Texas
Places that we couldn't name and hunt for their souls
Sometime it was on the roadside a place they had been abandoned
Sometimes in and old house broken and forgotten
She'd stand there in her boots and ragged old skirt and start to sing
A lonesome strain of an old cowboy song
And they would come to her and as they did we would lay them down beside her
Put them to rest one final time.
Jack would play the fiddle and me the tambourine
Scrappy would join in on the guitar and we'd work the place until we had all those lost spirits
Standing in the corners or sitting in the shadows
They came to us waiting for a final place to rest.
Some where girls an others young caballeros
Who'd lost their way in a crash to their final destination
She'd sing "My Rifle, My Pony and Me" and they would enter her soul
Annie would take as many as she could and then we would have to leave
She would collapse on the ground and we would carry her to the car
And drive far into the desert close to the borderline
We would start a fire and begin to sing and play once again
And the spirits would leave her one by one some painfully some like flowing water
Then we would head to the nearest town and buy some tequila
and drink until dawn…
We did this for years until Annie couldn't stand it any longer
One day she said she lost her taste for the dead and she never sang again
I can still hear her voice down by the river
Flowing across the rocks and down along the bottoms
And I wonder where she ended up for I lost her in El Paso
Never once she said and twice would be forever….
So now I sing those songs hoping to remember that lonesome sound
That woke the dead and brought them to our souls
Sometimes it seems like yesterday but I know it is a lifetime from this place

Drowning in the pool of anguish…oh…oh…
I'm venturing into the forest…and I want to hear the words seep out
Release these aching sorrows…I worry my soul's drying out…
like a drought…
Drain out the fluids from my heart
It's gouging me…bruising me to the core…
Embrace the light…embrace the midnight sky…
You fall in my arms – you die so warm
Shed me more sun to lift up my spirits
From the…underground…and release me – I'm breathless
I'm drowning in doubt…ooh… oh…
Remember me…I'm falling…into my swirling fate…hanging on the roots
Strangling my heart…distorting in my veins… I'm bleeding so softly – cut out the wood…
Splintering me…I'm shattering… and I'm falling in the abyss
Bring me more radiance from my candle light
Warp me up in bliss…don't let the midnight sky…don't take away my delight
From the…ocean…and save me—save me…oh… oh… I'm failing
I'm drowning in regret…ooh..oh…
Hit the bull's eye in my heart…embrace the light
And don't leave me hanging in the abyss…hand me a kite!
Save me before I fall apart…shut out the night
And don't let the dusk escape us…
I must confess…
I must confess…
I hate to see you abandon the light…
But I'm not the one to save you from the night
Splintering lies fill your heart
I want to kiss it goodbye…
But you've mastered it like a piece of art
I want to kiss the abyss and die…
Dry… I wanna touch the sky with my whole soul
But I'm failing and the end of time has taken its toll
Tainted sorrow…swims around me…I dwell where the waters depart
But the anguish still swarms in my heart…
I'm failing…my heart stops beating
And my desires are fleeting
From my grasp
And the monsters laugh at me…as I fall…
Embrace the midnight sky…catch me…catch me…
As I fall in death's arms…I die so cold
And your heart is made of gold
Untangle the darkness & take away the nightmares
Answer our prayers & block out the night
Erase the heartaches & wipe away our tears
Unravel Your words of life & delight
Inundating radiant sunshine beams
down on my face
fervently tracing crows feet
nearing the frown I can taste
obliterating tear streaks
transmitting them
into the depths of outer space
introducing an iridescent spectrum
of piercing waves
golden ears fear in the race
Electromagnetic oscillation
inspiring me to rely
upon solar energy
eradicating unwanted toxins
by chasing them
So on this sacred date of "ONE"…
negative energy is trumped
by the positive tsunami
of the sun
and as she dares me
to stare into her face of grace
ninety three million miles away…
I sigh
as her radiance blasts my face
in such a merciful way
suddenly my shaking knees
give way to an epiphany
that this day is laced with sanctity
the world's eyes feast upon
an auspicious
uniformed alignment
five ones standing side by side
gold adorned
a spiritual aspirant
making change the world will see...

Living A Lifestyle That the Bible Forbids…
I know of someone living a lifestyle that the Bible forbids.
He told me; "how dare anyone tell me how I should live!"
He added; "what I do is no one else's business but my own."
"No one can ever tell me what I do in my home!"
When given scripture that clearly forbids what he's doing…
It's the backward kind of life… That he's choosing!
He claims Jesus is his lord, in spite of his moral depravity.
It's like he has, in his body, an "infected cavity."
God gave to us his word, with his holy instructions!
If we don't obey, it'll lead to our spiritual destruction!
It doesn't matter if 10,000 churches say that it's o.k. to do!
God requires a righteous and holy way of living, for me and YOU!
There are choices we all have, that are to be made!
Are you going to be victorious in Christ? Or sin's slave???
Have you thought about living for Jesus? And what it cost?
If we're not sacrificing our lives for him, we're forever lost!
If you're one who's caught up into a life filled with perversion…
May I introduce you to the blood of Jesus? And a righteous conversion?
God gave to each of us, HIS rules and commandments to live by!
It's either God's rules, or man's, that you'll either live or die by!
Won't you choose a life that God has chosen to give you?
He created mankind! It's no secret how much he loves you!
The opportunity is here! It may never come again!
Won't you let the power of Jesus break the bondage of sin?
Jesus can set you free! Won't you let him help you?
He's patiently waiting… Just because he wants to!

Mikael Silvestre hopes his experience will hold Arsenal in good stead as they embark on an arduous April agenda.
Arsène Wenger's side kick off a run of seven games in 22 days when Manchester City visit Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The race for a top-four place is Arsenal's immediate focus but a Champions League tie with Villarreal looms large while an FA Cup Semi-Final with Chelsea is also packed into a hectic schedule.
April is traditionally a time when contenders push on, also-rans fall short - and the pressure mounts. Silvestre has seen it all before, scooping seven major trophies during his time with Manchester United. The 31-year-old returned from injury with the Reserves last week and intends to play his part on and off the pitch in the crucial weeks to come.
"I can help the young players deal with the pressure just by being with them and behaving like I have my whole career," Silvestre told Arsenal.com.
"Maybe they can learn from that but the talent is there. What I can give extra is my own experience. I don't make a long speech to them, I just behave normally and we get on with it.
"On the playing side I am doing my best to be ready every three days. I'm feeling good. I had been running for a while - probably a month - before the reserve game. So it's just a matter of getting some games in and get into situations which you can't have in training."
If Arsenal get past Villarreal in the Champions League, they will play an eighth April fixture - a Semi-Final first leg at either Porto or Manchester United. The prospect of facing his old club is an exciting one for Silvestre.
"It has been the case already this season so it wouldn't be the first time," he pointed out. "But obviously it would be a special occasion and I hope it's going to be the case."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

When Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown talks, people usually listen.
Well, on Monday, he had plenty to talk about on his weekly radio show on KNBR regarding the state of the Raiders and head coach Bill Callahan one day after their abysmal 4-12 season ended with a 21-14 loss to the San Diego Chargers.
Callahan held a brief three-minute news conference Monday, taking no questions in the process. He spoke at length on the subject of suspending cornerback Charles Woodson and running back Charlie Garner missed a team function at 9 p.m. and the 11 p.m. curfew Saturday. Callahan did not, however, address his status as the head coach but reportedly cleared out his office Friday evening.
Brown, meanwhile, has seen the highs and lows in his 16 years as a Raider. He certainly did not hold back Monday. Brown suggested that Callahan's behavior from training camp was a strong sign that he wanted out of Oakland.
"There was no doubt in my mind that this guy didn't want to be here anymore," Brown said. "He coached to get fired and that's what I think should happen to him."
Brown also added that Callahan said many things to make enemies with the players and continued that trend throughout the season.
"One time after practice he called everybody up and said, 'Guys, I don't want anyone of you guys to be my friends. I've got friends outside the game,'" Brown said. "So at that particular time in training camp, you are separating yourself from the team."
Callahan was a Raider assistant under Jon Gruden from 1998-2001 before being promoted to head coach after Gruden was ostensibly traded to Tampa Bay. After a Super Bowl appearance last season, Oakland fell from grace in 2003.
Brown also mentioned a couple of scenarios when Callahan walked off the field during a game before apologizing in his days as an assistant. How much longer Callahan remains the head coach is still officially unknown. Owner Al Davis is the one whose viewpoint matters most but he has not said one way or the other if Callahan will remain the coach. If most of the players can help it, however, Callahan would be out now.
Woodson, who is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent, publicly called out Callahan twice this season because he felt the coach had too big of an ego. Several other players have joined Woodson including defensive tackle Rod Coleman, safety Anthony Dorsett and Brown, who said he would not return if Callahan were the coach.

Or use bulk straight hose in all positions but the top and bottom main radiator hoses. I do that on both my cars.
You MUST use at least a thermostat outer plate to put gasket in there, the gasket will not stay in place without the stat outer ring to keep it in place. You also need the thickness of the stat plate to fill the gasket out to proper thickness or eventual leak from not enough preload or squeeze on the gasket. I have pulled so-called bad stat housings back from the dead simply by adding a washer to the thickness of stat/gasket to make it thicker, the stock stat cover warps in at the bolt corners to release pressure in 3 spots and leaks then. The added washer makes the pinch point thicker and then it seals where it was leaking before. One of mine now running for years like that.
The stat must have its' small edge hole facing straight up to properly bleed. It must also have the proper size and spaced length disc on the backside or the heater will NEVER get hot. The disc moves back to shut off the port, that then forces the core to heat up. I have seen crap stats in the past that were not spaced right on the disc and they would not heat up, the disc would not contact the hole to seal. When that hole is not sealed the heater loop is bypassed.
If stat in right system's bled by the time motor is hot, I NEVER bleed them longterm.
The smaller round gasket seals the housing to the head itself.
I still use old school green coolant, it lasts longer than they would have you believe.

The pressure on central banks to start raising interest rates is fading as the threat of deflation creeps back into the global economy.
In the United States, prices fell 0.1 per cent in April, paced by cheaper gasoline, clothing, housing and cars.
Ben Bernanke and his U.S. Federal Reserve colleagues talk of "subdued" inflation. "Dead" might be a more apt description, freeing the central bank to keep its key interest rate near-zero and easy money flowing indefinitely, without overheating the recovering economy.
Many economists are now betting the Fed will leave its key rate unchanged until late 2011 or even 2012. And any move to sell off the piles of mortgage-backed securities accumulated during the credit crisis may be even farther off.
"The disinflationary pressure in the United States remains intense," remarked Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics in Toronto. "Consumer prices are basically stagnant and deflation has never been a bigger threat."
Even in Canada, an imminent rate hike is no longer a sure thing. Until recent weeks, the assumption was that the Bank of Canada would follow Australia's lead and push up its key interest rate at the June 1 rate decision.
Bay Street traders are now putting the odds of a rate hike at just 50-50, noted a report by Bank of Montreal deputy chief economist Doug Porter.
The inflation dynamic in Canada is also less clear-cut. Friday's April consumer price index report will be the Bank of Canada's last chance to assess whether hotter-than-anticipated inflation readings earlier this year represent enough of a trend to start raising interest rates from record-low levels.
Central bank Governor Mark Carney recently scrapped a conditional commitment to stay on hold until July or later depending on inflation, in part because his preferred inflation gauge, which strips out volatile items, had breached the bank's two per cent target much sooner than expected. But he has also said repeatedly that nothing is "pre-ordained.''
Inflation has since cooled. But the housing market is still strong and the economy has already recouped about two-thirds of the jobs lost in the recession.
"We continue to lean to the view that the Bank will indeed begin hiking rates at the start of June amid the powerful rebound in employment and housing,'' BMO's Mr. Porter wrote in an article he's releasing Thursday morning. "However, the debate is by no means completely settled, with the Fed still in an extended holding pattern, core inflation fading again, and the very real possibility that European tremors could rumble louder."
In the United States, the main driver of lower U.S. prices in April was relief at the gas pump. But even the core consumer price index, which excludes typically erratic moves in food and energy prices, was zero in April. And compared to a year ago, core prices fell 0.9 per cent – the weakest annual reading in 44 years.
Fed policy makers are convinced that both overall and core inflation will "remain subdued through 2012" and below the central bank's informal target range, according to minutes of the bank's April 27-28 meeting released Wednesday.
At the meeting, the Fed lowered "slightly" its near-term inflation forecast. The Fed, which tracks personal consumption expenditures (PCE) instead of the CPI, now expects PCE to rise between 1.2 to 1.5 per cent this year, 1.1 to 1.9 per cent in 2011, and 1.2 to 2 per cent in 2012.
Like Fed policy makers, economists don't see much coming down the pipe that would spur inflation. Millions of Americans who lost their jobs during the recession are still looking for work, prices for key commodities are falling and stocks have tumbled in recent weeks on fears that several European countries may default on their debts.
The latest CPI numbers vindicate Mr. Bernanke's reluctance to raise rates even as the recovery has strengthened in recent months, said CIBC World Markets economist Krishen Rangasamy.
"The Fed's statement that inflation 'is likely to be subdued for some time continues to be prophetic," he said.
Within the Fed, Mr. Bernanke has faced pressure from at least one member – Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank president Thomas Hoenig – to start raising rates this summer.
At the April meeting, Mr. Hoenig voted against the decision to leave interest rates unchanged. Behind closed doors, he argued that the bank's key lending should be raised to 1 per cent this summer, from its current level of zero to 0.25 per cent.Report Typo/Error

Director of Environmental Services Dan Murray has filed a lawsuit against county mayor William Baird after being placed on administrative leave without pay.
Murray's civil suit, filed in circuit court Feb. 16, says Baird took retaliatory action against him for allegedly refusing to be silent about illegal activities.
Murray, 59, has worked in various capacities at the environmental services department since 1998. During his employment he was exposed to dust from two limestone quarries, according to the suit.
The boy's middle school basketball teams from LaFollette and Jacksboro made it to the East Tennessee Final Four last weekend before being eliminated.
Some citizens were in tears and others appeared angry as the Jellico Board of Mayor and Aldermen prepared to take action on Sunday beer sales last Thursday.
Following Caryville's November vote to allow liquor sales Caryville and the county are required to set hours for Sunday beer sales. The remaining municipalities in Campbell County can be included or opt out completely.
The Jellico board unanimously decided to stay away from selling beer on Sunday after hearing a magnitude of concerns from the community.
The following is a weekly summary of the fishing conditions on Norris Lake as reported by creel clerks from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).
Fishing regulations are being distributed
The 2011 Tennessee Fishing Regulations (effective March 1, 2011 through Feb. 28, 2012) are being distributed to license agents across the state, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).
The regulations are available wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold. They will also be available soon at www.tnwildlife.org.
The 2010-11 Campbell County Leadership class has chosen to assist the county's youth for its service project.
Each service project is aimed at giving back to the community for growth and development. For leadership member Cindi Reynolds helping the youth is the best way to give back.
As part of the project the group wrote a grant to Tennessee Association of Community Leaders. The grant awarded $250 to the young group to be used as seed money for more projects.
"Have to have money to make money," said Reynolds.
Grabbing a couple of bags of chips on the way out of Walmart's Subway restaurant meant serious charges for a LaFollette man.
Last Wednesday Jacksboro Police Officer James Skeans went to the restaurant to investigate reports of a robbery. Records indicate the victim said a man came into the store and grabbed two bags of chips before starting to leave. When the victim told the man to stop he allegedly said he would take all her money which put her in fear for her life, the report said.
Drugs and weapons are rarely a good combination. But a LaFollette man was allegedly found with both.
Last Friday LaFollette Police Officer Matthew Sandefur was dispatched to Wendy's restaurant to investigate reports of a possible drug transaction. Although the vehicle in which Dion Charles Stagnolia, 34, of 1211 West Ash Street, was a passenger had already left the scene when Sandefur arrived, the officer located the truck traveling west on Jacksboro Pike.
Jellico Mayor Les Stiers has big plans for Jellico.
Last Thursday, Stiers suggested the purchase of a 16,000 square foot building and more ordinances to move the town forward.
Stiers addressed the board about the need for a community center. A rural community development grant would be used to construct a facility or acquire a building, he said.
"It's sad when our kids have to go to Williamsburg to have their dances," said Stiers. "We are trying to change that."
The subject of residential building permits has created quite a buzz in recent weeks.
Although Campbell County has issued building permits for $11.50 through the county court clerk's office for years talk of the state's relatively new building codes enforcement program had even the county's legislative body stumped at last week's workshop meeting.

Shanghai The placards are gone and the picket line has thinned out, but the police response to China's biggest labour strike in decades is only just beginning. As disruptions at the Yue Yuen shoe factory in the southern province of Guangdong grind on, at least two strike leaders have been detained.
It shows while the Communist Party is willing to tolerate the striking workers for now, it has no tolerance for those helping to organise them.
This is the way in China. Even though the workers and central government are striving for similar goals – higher wages – authorities are unwilling to cede any negotiation power to third parties. To make this point, activists providing advice to workers have been detained and harassed.
According to a volunteer at the labour rights group Chun Feng, state security officers entered their Dongguan office at 4pm on Tuesday evening.
They confiscated two computers, cut power to the office and took the group's director Lin Dong into custody.
Another employee has been placed under house arrest.
"They have told us they won't release them until the strike is over," said volunteer Wang, who would only give his family name during a phone interview.
'Tricky' to resolve
That could be some time. "It is going to be a tricky one to resolve," said
Like all disputes, the basis of this one is money. The 60,000 workers at the giant factory complex, which makes shoes for the likes of Nike, adidas and Saucony, say the firm has been underpaying their social insurance for years.
"There is no doubt this is true. Unfortunately it's very common right across China," said Mr Crothall.
In response, the Taiwanese-owned Yue Yuen has made a revised pay offer, but the workers are holding firm. "It is an issue of trust now," says Mr Crothall. "The workers will want to see cash in their hands before they go back."
So far authorities are tolerating this refusal to work. "There's no doubt the Party has given these workers more space to operate and air their grievances," said Mary Gallagher, director of the Centre for Chinese Studies at the University of Michigan. The state media is even giving the strike prominent coverage and making no secret that it is a Taiwanese company involved – the dispute made page one of the Global Times and China Daily in recent days.
But at some point this tolerance will run out, as this strike, which began on April 13, is not an isolated incident.
According to the China Labour Bulletin there has been a 31 per cent increase in industrial action during the first three months of the year, compared to the same time in 2013. Multinationals like IBM, Walmart, Hitachi and Nokia have all been affected.
Estimated 202 first-quarter strikes
The China Labour Bulletin estimates there were 202 strikes in first quarter mainly concentrated in the Guangdong's manufacturing sector, which has struggled in recent years.
A private survey released Wednesday showed activity in the sector at an eight-month low. HSBC/Markit's Flash Purchasing Managers Index increased slightly in April to 48.3, but still remains below the crucial 50-point barrier that indicates the sector is expanding.
The weakness of this survey is reflected in the challenges faced by the likes of Yue Yuen.
Over the past five years the basic wage of its workers has doubled, environmental regulations have tightened and China's currency has risen, while the labour pool has begun to shrink. This has pushed many manufacturers out of China to lower-wage countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia.
"If Yue Yuen were to leave they [the government] are not sure what would replace them," said Ms Gallagher. "They have aspirations for high-tech industries with more value added, but they are not there yet."
And so Ms Gallagher believes a deal will be done between the local government and the company and at that point tolerance for the strikers will evaporate and they will be ordered back to work.
If they resist, the situation could quickly get very ugly.

Crude Oil a Buy as Panic Selling Begins
Crude Oil seeing "Panic Selling" trading
The unusual, and unexplained, drop in the price of Crude Oil Monday has created some serious shake outs in the price and the trends in oil. With NYMEX WTI Crude reaching to just over $100.25 Friday, Crude Oil was still between 99.00 and 99.50 Monday before the floor came out from under Crude Oil's footing.
Selling pressure started and then the price drop went from 98.75 down to under 96.00 in a few minutes.
Speculation was that the Obama administration was considering a tapping effort of the strategic petroleum reserve. That was effectively refuted, even if it was called an option that can be used. Then the fat-finger trading error seemed to be the cause, but the trading volume did not support the price action. Traders and market pundits have been all over the media late yesterday and this morning saying that the sell-off was not supported by the volume. Now some talk seems to be around an options expiration date in Crude Oil, but there may have been a natural inflection point as the largest culprit.
A chart review shows that there would have likely been many stop-gap and program levels hit after oil challenged 98.50 bbl. The drop seems unusually high for such a simple explanation, but a break under 98.50 or so sure looks like it would have triggered many exits all running for the door at once.
United States Oil (NYSEMKT:USO) tanked with Crude Oil Monday, but the exchange traded product is up over 0.3% at $35.87 in late-morning trading.
It was north noting that Credit Suisse lowered its ratings to Neutral from Outperform on the independent refining sector. The firm downgraded Delek US Holdings Inc. (NYSE: DK) and its shares fell almost 5% on the day. Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:MPC), Phillips 66 (NYSE PSX) and Western Refining Inc. (NYSE WNR) were all also cut to Neutral, and these are all down about 1.5% to 2.5% after the downgrades.
The integrated Oil and Gas giants are not quite as fast to react to oil prices.
Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:XOM) ticked down yesterday but shares are up 0.3% at $92.18 so far today, and it is important to realize that the year-high is only $92.50.

The Elk Creek Fire District has hired its training safety officer, Joe Page, to be temporary administrative coordinator, after embattled former fire chief Bill Dolan decided not to take the position.
The district committee that reviews the administrative coordinator position and Dolan agreed that he would not take the job, said interim fire chief Pete Igel. Igel said it's in the best interest of the district that Dolan stop doing the work as a volunteer and not take the paid position.
Horse lovers and art lovers combined forces on Friday to attend "The Horse Show" art exhibit at Evergreen Fine Art and to raise money for three horse rescue organizations.
Several hundred people toured the art gallery to look at horse paintings and sculptures from 26 artists, most of whom don't normally create equine art. They also spoke with many of the artists and with representatives from the three nonprofits.
The Jeffco planning commission is scheduled to discuss a proposed amendment to zoning regulations that would allow short-term vacation rentals in all residential districts as long as the properties abide by the same rules that apply to residential houses in general.
The planning commission has a hearing on the matter scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 6:15 p.m. The Board of County Commissioners will have a hearing on Tuesday, Aug. 23, at 8 a.m.

A bicyclist was seriously injured on Lookout Mountain Road about 5:45 p.m. June 21 and had to be transported to the hospital by helicopter.
A Jefferson County sheriff's deputy found the man lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the road below the hairpin turn above Windy Saddle, according to the Sheriff's Office report.
About 6 p.m., Highland Rescue personnel arrived and called for a helicopter. Other personnel from Foothills Fire and Rescue assisted in placing the injured man on a backboard and into the ambulance.
Despite statewide reports of snowpack levels well above average for 2011, the Upper Bear Creek Watershed is flowing at about half of average this year due to an unfavorable snow pattern that affected the east slope of Mount Evans.
"We have never, ever been this out of whack with the rest of the state before," said Gerry Schulte, general manager of the Evergreen Metro District for 29 years. "We're part of the South Platte Basin, but all the snow stopped on the north and west side. We got very little."
About 6 p.m., Highlands Rescue personnel arrived and called for a helicopter. Other personnel from Foothills Fire and Rescue assisted in placing the injured man on a backboard and into the ambulance.
The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission has initiated a full investigation into the hiring of former Jeffco commissioner Kevin McCasky by an economic council to which he voted to direct county funds while being considered for the council's high-paying top job.
McCasky, now president of the Jefferson Economic Council, was hired by the nonprofit in January, shortly after he proposed increasing the county's annual general-fund contribution to the council from $380,000 to $400,000.

Prom and graduation seasons are fast approaching and during this time, underage drinking and drug use can easily make their way into every teen's life.
This is why the North Memorial program Partnership for Change has launched a "T2T" campaign with a mission to keep kids safe especially during the coming season. For the past four weeks, pink signs around the northwest suburbs have been spread and last Monday, the program worked its way to Maple Grove Senior High school.
The "T2T" messages have been revealed in various social media outlets of the campaign: Time 2 Think, Time 2 Teach, Talk 2 Teens, and Teen 2 Teen. The last message will be unveiled this coming Saturday, April 28 during Maple Grove's own prom event.
All of the bright pink signs used by the T2T program have been distributed through community lawn signs, flyers, social media sites, and websites that are often visited by the target students at Maple Grove, Park Center Senior High, and Osseo High School. The messages will hopefully help prevent underage drinking and drug abuse among the youth in the area.
Partnership for Change coordinator LeeAnn Mortensen said their campaign aims to protect kids during end of school seasons. "We have implemented the campaign for the first time in northwest Hennepin County. The campaign is an important reminder during the upcoming prom and graduation seasons to keep students safe."
Mortensen claimed that about 200 yard signs have been distributed which helped in promoting awareness of underage drinking and drug use throughout the whole community.
Yet they are continuing their efforts to encourage parents, concerned citizens, community leaders, and students to do their share in fighting alcohol and drug abuse especially in the northwest Hennepin County.
"In the end we hope to protect the health of the families in our communities and ultimately save lives," she said.

Lyons Wier Gallery hosted the 'Misbehaving' exhibition by David Lyle back in April 2012.
Found vintage photographs, black colour and turpentine were the ingredients to conjure a trip back in time to 1950s and 1960s America, seen through the eyes of the artist.
The gallery explains the underlying philosophy of the art and his very interesting modus operandi as follows: 'Lyle begins his process by priming a panel with white gesso. He then paints a thin, rich, oily black veneer over the primed panel, slowly and systematically developing his images by removing some of the black paint with a cloth.
In doing so, Lyle renders layer upon layer of various values of black paint resulting in his signature-style of luminescent works.'
Bio : David Lyle attended the University of California at Santa Barbara's College of Creative Studies. His work has been exhibited in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Laguna Beach, and in Japan and covered in publications such as New York Magazine, Modern Painter, New American Paintings, American Artist, Hi-Fructose, Proximity Magazine and Coast Magazine. This is Lyle's second solo exhibition with Lyons Wier Gallery.

Brian S. Wheeler calls Hillsboro, Illinois home, a town of roughly 6,000 in the middle of the flatland. He grew up in Carlyle, Illinois, a community less than an hour away from Hillsboro, where he spent a good amount of his childhood playing wiffle ball and tinkering on his computer. The rural Midwest inspires much of Brian's work, and he hopes any connections readers might make between his fiction and the places and people he has had the pleasure to know are positive.
Brian earned a degree in English from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois. He has taught high school English and courses in composition and creative writing. Imagination has been one of Brian's steadfast companions since childhood, and he dreams of creating worlds filled with inspiration and characters touched by magic.
When not writing, Brian does his best to keep organized, to get a little exercise, or to try to train good German Shepherd dogs. He remains an avid reader. More information regarding Brian S. Wheeler, his novels, and his short stories can be found by visiting his website at www.flatlandfiction.com.

Will a Bushmaster upper receiver match up with my Colt lower?
Our upper will match with old or new Colt lowers, however, Colt made many interim models with a large (larger than mil. spec.) pivot pin. If your front receiver pin is larger than the rear takedown pin, you have one of these Colt models. This causes no problems as we sell an adapter pin that will fit your lower to any of our uppers - or vise versa.

Women's Vecceli Ballet Flats
Oh, I get it. It's like saying that dancers are other worldly or super human or something? Well in that case, no. I'm not a dancer. But mostly because there's no way I'm getting in a leotard. Which is a shame, because "leotard" is really fun to say.
