Welcome to the latest series at JosephSangl.com – Restructuring Debt
I am excited to embark on this series of posts because interest paid toward debt is one of the largest obstacles to gaining traction for one's own Debt Freedom March.
Of course, one way to eliminate the interest is to sell some stuff and become debt-free. But I recognize that for some people, they have debt that they are going to have to focus on and just pay it off. If this describes you, then I trust that this series helps you gain speed in your Debt Freedom March!
Part One – Know What You Are Paying
Part Two – Lower The Interest Rates!
Part Three – Lower The Interest Rates! – Continued
Part Four – Lower The Interest Rates! – Continued
There are many approaches one can take to lower their interest rates. In Part Two, I covered the "negotiation" avenue. In Part Three, we covered surfing the balances to zero-percent credit cards. In Part Four, it was the debt consolidation option. In Part Five, I will be covering the credit score option.
Credit Scores Matter!
I know. I am brilliant. But it matters so much when it comes to reducing the interest that lenders will charge on your existing debt (this is a no-new-debt zone!). As your credit score improves, your credit card surfing and bill consolidation loan options will improve.
There is a company that actually specializes in consolidating loans for people with excellent credit. I was told about this company by a banker friend who has been extremely impressed with the way this company is doing business. It is called FirstAgain.com. It is actually stated on their web site that "Excellent and Substantial Credit Required". No need to apply if you have trashed credit, but it looks like a good option for those who are looking restructure their debt and gain traction with their Debt Freedom March.
Of course, there are also companies that specialize in loans for people with horrible credit. Payday loan joints, title loan sharks, pawn shops, and various other organizations provide loans that have HORRIFIC interest and should never be considered a viable option for someone who expects to gain traction on their Debt Freedom March. I have yet to meet the first person who became debt free because of their rip-off payday loan. I have met hundreds who have became completely hopeless because of their rip-off payday loan.
In the sixth and final installment of the Restructuring Debt series, I will be sharing my favorite way to restructure debt.

That same opportunity is for you now because although being an unemployed person you will now be able to get a loan, and that has been possible because of unemployment loans only. In the Money Lender Singapore loan borrower will get the chance to take either secured or unsecured loans above. For secured loans, it is very important for the borrower to provide collateral.
Money Lender Singapore Without promises a guarantee you will not be allowed to apply for it. However, the Money Lender Singapore value of collateral plays an important role in it. The higher the value the more money will be given to you. You can also apply for loans online as there are many lenders who operate online, therefore, before you do any business with an online company, do some research on the company to check if they are a listed company as there are many fake companies who take money as before granting a loan processing fee so beware of such companies and apply for the loan is simple to just fill an online application form with few details and within Money Lender Singapore you can get the loan deposited in your account.
These Money Lender Singapore are certain things that you can get these loans without any hesitation. Together with other people unemployed bad credit holders can also get these loans.

Money Lender Singapore personal loans are offered to bad credit record holders too and for that, you need to convince the lender that you are able to repay the loan amount. General credit records such as a court of law state, arrears, bankruptcy, late payments and skipping of instalments are allowed to go for these loans but only the interest rate is a bit high.

I was at it again… looking at extensions to use with OpenOffice.org programs. I can't help it. Some of them are truly time savers and just make the program suite easier to use.
Anyway, today I've got a template extension for you that is just huge… we're talking over 120 templates designed for Writer, Calc and Impress!
Business cards and correspondence, personal correspondence, formal correspondence, posters, budgeting, presentations, invoices and more… this one has it all.
Here's what my non-existent template category list looks like after I installed the extension:
To get all these wonderful templates you'll need to download and install the Professional Template Pack II – English.
And… for my German speaking friends they also have one for you too: Professional Template Pack II – German.
As always, don't forget to restart OpenOffice.org after you've completed the extension installation… that seems to be a "must" with this program suite.
One last note – you'll find your new templates under the File menu / New / Templates and Documents choice…
…or you can access them from the Templates button on the OpenOffice.org Suite start-up window.
If you like templates then this one is definitely for you!

Defensive end Nathan Williams, who sat out the Buckeyes' 45-7 season-opening defeat of Marshall last week while still recovering from a knee injury, practiced Sunday and is expected to be ready to face the Hurricanes.
"He'll practice today," Tressel said. "I think the thing that you have to be careful with is guys that miss some training camp and all of a sudden if you think they can go out there and play 50-some snaps, I think you're risking a little bit. So what we have to figure out in the course of this week is just how many snaps is he ready to go. He seems to be ready to go. He's excited and he says he's ready to go. And now we'll see how it goes this afternoon and Wednesday and Thursday."
Also back to 100 percent is Orhian Johnson, a safety who entered preseason as a perceived starter before giving way to fellow sophomore C.J. Barnett because of a leg injury that knocked him out of much of preseason camp. Barnett is still expected to start Saturday.
Tressel confirmed earlier rumors Etienne Sabino is aiming for a redshirt this season after losing a preseason training camp battle with fellow junior Andrew Sweat for the starting Sam linebacker spot.
The coach cited Sabino's youth as a reason for the move.
"Right now, day-by-day we're kind of redshirting him, but redshirting is a day-by-day thing, so he's got no injury issues (and) nothing outside of football is a reason for him not playing," Tressel said. "So for this moment, he's redshirting and if everyone's healthy going into the ball game, we'll probably hold him from the ball game. He was 17 when he came here and we needed him (as a freshman in 2008) because we were just so thin at some things."
Tressel also said the team will get back sophomore linebacker Storm Klein, a special teams contributor and defensive backup who missed the Marshall game with an unidentified injury.
As far as the Hurricanes go, Tressel said he expects a team with some familiar traits.
"Someone on the Big Ten call just asked me if I thought it'd be something unique that they might bring that maybe we don't normally see and, in my mind, the thing is they're not unique. They're tough. They're fast. They don't do a million different things. The good teams usually don't. They play good, hard, fundamental football," Tressel said.
He pointed out head coach Randy Shannon's team is a veteran group with juniors and seniors throughout the depth chart.
"There are guys that are starting for their third year, so it's a very veteran team and they are who they are and they do it very, very well and they make you play toe to toe," Tressel said. "So it's going to be a tremendous challenge for our guys. Our guys are excited about it and we're looking forward to Saturday afternoon."
As for the historical aspect, Tressel was not much interested in discussing the last time the Buckeyes faced the Hurricanes, a heart-stopping double-overtime Fiesta Bowl his team won 31-24 in January 2003.
"That was a long time ago. We felt like going into every game we played in 2002 all the way up to today that if we do what you're supposed to do, the things that it takes to win football games, we're going to win football games. The same will be true on Saturday."

Ohio Grass Man
I just watched a documentary on the History Channels "Monster Quest" of the Ohio Grass Man. Any Ohioans have info or stories?
I seen this last month. We are waiting on Hunting Man from Ohio to post up some pics.
This is very true. I have seen a few in my younger days. My cousin calls them Malcom stretchers because one caught his cat Malcom and streched it out and pounded it flat. They really use there suroundings to hind. In the neighbor hood I grew up in they would come out at night and hind behind telephone poles as I walked down the road I could hear them behind the poles ready to pounce on me. They are excellant swimmers as well. Everytime I would sneak into Loyal Oak Lake to take a swim I had to becareful not to get to close to the docks because that is where they hid in order to ambush me, grab me by my ankles, drag me to the depths of the lake to eat me. One funny thing about it, I have never seen or heard one since becomeing an adult:biggrin:
I might be just a kid wondering around the woods with a 30-30 looking for deer. but here in east texas theres somthing called "the sabine thing" that wonders around the woods here and.........well call me crazy but i have saw somthing resembling the "bigfoot" on tv more than once while squirrel hunting about 3 miles from my house. it scared the crap out of me and my little brother and i havent been back to that particular spot without my dad or grandpa with me. like i said i might be just a kid:rolleyes:but I NO WHAT I SAW!!!!!! and also make fun of me all u want i no what i saw and i dont care what anybody says.
Everytime I try to run the photo's everythings there except the grass man. I've run into these guys several times and its always in dark timber or just when your squeezing through a rock formation and can't move you look ahead and presto there he is. I'm sure there are several names for them as everyone seems to spot them across the country. I get the creepy feeling when i come across a dead carcess and it seems only the neck was broken, and other animals won't touch it, you got to wonder. Ever pause in your stand and realize nothings moving, no sounds stillness that sends the hairs on the back of your neck straight out!:confused:
Around here we have "Green eyes" the gost of a confederate soldier killed in the battle of Chickamauga. The girls would always snugle in a little closer when we took them down to the battlefield and told the stories.:wink:
OK I'll bite...What's a grass man?
like a bigfoot
i saw the same Monsterquest episode. its supposed to be sumthin like a bigfoot.
Whatever happened to those guys down in Georgia (I think) that had one in a frezzor?
It was a hoax -- they used a suit and placed other animal insides on top of the suit and used a slice of bologna for the tongue:green::crazy:

The Letters of T. S. Eliot (Vol. 2, 1922-1925)
Michael Wood writes:
Some would argue that Eliot never entirely threw off The Waste Land, and others that he did and to his cost, but either way it's clear he wanted to work at getting beyond it. He had published the poem in October 1922 in the first issue of the Criterion, the quarterly journal he had just begun to edit – the first UK book publication was by the Hogarth Press in 1923 – and this is where we left him at the end of the first volume of the letters, now handsomely revised and reissued. He had studied at Harvard and Oxford, completed his doctoral dissertation on F.H. Bradley, moved to London, abruptly married and turned his back on the academic career that calmly awaited him in America. As Lyndall Gordon nicely says, in her biography of Eliot, both he and Ezra Pound were 'lapsed professors'. He was working full-time at Lloyds Bank, where he stayed until 1925, and editing the Criterion in the spare moments he didn't have. This tale of time swallowed up, what Eliot calls 'the prison-like limitation of my time', is one of the two chief themes of the second volume of the Letters. The other is the competitive invalidism the Eliots have instead of a marriage.

Despite opportunities for some fine dancing from Astaire at his most energetic, he's lumbered not only with Crosby, crooning 'White Christmas' for the first time, but also with Marjorie Reynolds, clearly no replacement for Ginger Rogers. But the Irving Berlin score, including 'Easter Parade' and 'Let's Say It with Firecrackers' (which gives Fred his best moment) makes up for the thin story about a love triangle at the eponymous vacation resort.

You first approximate exact numbers which appear in Sols and _after_
that replace the variables by exact numbers. This can't be the optimum
N[Sols]/.{a->50,...}//Chop should work here, but it is IMHO better to do
exact calculations as long as possible:
subs = {a -> 50, b -> 50, c -> 2, d -> 4, e -> 100, f -> 2, g -> 100};
sols = Solve[eq1 && eq2, {x, y}];
nsol = Simplify[RootReduce[sols /. subs]]
which will give you three real solutions:
{{y -> (1/104)*(-333 - Sqrt[49289]), x -> (1/104)*(179 + Sqrt[49289])},
{y -> (1/104)*(-333 + Sqrt[49289]), x -> (1/104)*(179 - Sqrt[49289])},
{y -> 50, x -> 1}}
You want the solution(s) resulting in real L:
Here is your extremal value of L:
{-100 Log[2]+200 Log[50]-102 Log[51]-106 Log[53]}
which is approx.
> N[Sols, $MaxPrecision] /.{a->50,b->50,c\[Rule]2,d\[Rule]4,e->100,f\[Rule]2,
> g->100}
$MaxPrecision is usually set to Infinity and its use is to no avail in
this context.

Service amperage.
Most homes that I have seen here (in the boonies) have either a 100 or 200 amp service. The wire which the POCO supplies to these homes appears to be the same size. Is that typical? Is there a standard size used by the POCO when establishing a service? The reason I ask is that so many times a sub-panel (or 2) is added to the main panel. Is there sufficient wiring in place to the service for these additions? How can a homeowner determine this?
The key part what POCO do use is the base load number that how they can get away with it. they don't bother to upsize the drops unless ya got 320/400 amp service it may bump up but if tankless electrique water heaters for sure they will upsize the drop right there ( useally after the transfomer blow the smoke out of the lid )
Most average load on most home AFAIK useally about 30 to 40 amp somewhere that number ( about 6 - 10 KW ) ditto with their POCO transfomer they only use big as possible so most common resdential transfomer useally 15 or 25 KW size which that is the two most common size but there are larger one ( used to feed multi homes )
As I was installing the subpanel for my electric car charging station, I called the PoCo (rural co-op) out to assess my infrastructure. My home was built in 1991. I had 200 amp service provided on 2/0 AL cable from a 15 kVA pad-mounted transformer (sole home on the transformer). According to PoCo models and records, there were times I was drawing nearly 200% of the rated load of the transformer. They asked me if I had any dimming of lights or noticed anything out of the ordinary -- and I hadn't.
When I told them I was adding an 80A continuous charging load for the car, they agreed they should replace the transformer, drop, and meter. They put in a 37.5 kVA transformer, 350 kcmil compact conductor feed, and a 320/400 meter base.
Bottom line: they're permitted to oversubscribe just a bit. :) They rely upon you to call them when you add something significant that might cause a problem. I've seen more than 1 installation of a heavy EV charging load cause a transformer to percolate oil.
When we upgraded our service to add an electric tankless water heater and electric heat. They ran 4/0 wire. I think what they run depends on what your load calc is.

Each utility can set its own standards, which are often approved or agreed to by a state regulatory agency.
But yes it is common (for over head service) for the POCO to use one size, whether the service is 100 or 200.
As long as the sub panels you are talking about are fed from that main panel, the service limit is set by the main breaker. So, a 100 amp in the main panel would mean 100 amp service.

Indonesia's rescued Brahminy Kites find new island home
By Angus Thompson
PULAU KOTOK, Indonesia (Reuters Life!) - Gojele, a Brahminy kite, can often be seen soaring above the tropical getaway of Pulau Kotok, part of the Thousand Islands cluster just north of Jakarta and now a rehabilitation center for kites and other birds.
He was one of eight juvenile kites seized at Jakarta's international airport in 2004 as traders tried to smuggle them out to a private collector in Saudi Arabia, and was one of the first sea-eagles to be brought to the island, successfully rehabilitated, and released into the wild.
"Their feathers were really damaged when they came in. We were working on that for almost six months," said Femke den Haas, the co-founder of wildlife conservationists Jakarta Animal Aid Network (JAAN) which is committed to reintroducing Brahminy Kites to the area.
JAAN took a run-down resort and transformed it into a sanctuary from which 56 formerly captive birds have now been freed.
The proud mascot of Indonesia's capital, Brahminy Kites are protected eagles and have been under threat in the Thousand Islands as they were captured and sold illegally as status symbols.
Indonesia's Forestry Department conducts raids on Jakarta's notorious Pramuka animal market, but acknowledges there is still work to be done.
"We are aware there are still breaches of this law but we try to continue to stop the problem," said Forestry Department spokesperson Masyhud, who claims the authority has reduced trade in the last five years.
However, JAAN says activity is on the rise again. Continued...


text: Net income increased to EUR 374 million as higher underlying earnings and realized gains on investments, more favorable results on fair value items and lower impairments were only partly offset by higher tax charges.Fair value items The results from fair value items amounted to a loss of EUR 126 million. The most important contributors to the loss were the negative results from the equity hedge programs in the United States and the United Kingdom, negative revaluation of direct real estate investments in the Netherlands and the impact of lower credit spreads on the valuation of Aegon bonds. Realized gains on investments In the third quarter, realized gains on investments amounted to EUR 128 million and were mainly the result of normal trading activity in the investment portfolio. Impairment charges Net impairments improved significantly and amounted to EUR 35 million. Gross impairments remained relatively stable compared to previous quarters and were primarily linked to residential mortgage-backed securities in the United States, partly offset by strong recoveries. Other income Other income amounted to EUR 3 million, mainly the result of UK policyholder tax with an equal and opposite charge in the tax income line offset by restructuring charges of EUR 3 million in the Netherlands and a one-time provision of EUR 5 million in Poland. Run-off businesses The results of run-off businesses amounted to EUR 12 million and were driven by improved results on the institutional spread-based business and BOLI/COLI, only partly offset by lower results from payout annuities. Income tax Income tax amounted to EUR 80 million in the third quarter, translating into an effective tax rate of 18%. The main drivers of the lower than nominal tax rate were tax exempt income in the Americas and the Netherlands, tax credits and the benefit of a tax rate decrease in the United Kingdom.

Please click here to be taken to our record sharing information page
We are a team of health care professionals committed to providing a high quality of care which is sensitive to the needs of our patients. Our aim is not only to help when you are ill, but also to keep you healthy.
Our surgeries are modern, computerised and well equipped with good facilities for the disabled including car parking, wheelchair access and toilet provision.
We offer surgeries every week day with a range of specialist skills as well as general medicine. This is a group practice which means you can see any of the doctors. If Dore patients are unable to get an appointment, they may be able to be get an appointment at the main surgery at Carterknowle depending on demand.
Our appointments system is designed so that routine appointments can be booked up to one month in advance. Approximately one third of our available appointments are held back as "same day" appointments and are bookable on the day for patients with acute illnesses. Obviously all appointments are limited in number and if you are requesting to be seen on the same day, your request will be triaged in order for us to book you appropriately. This will involve you answering some simple questions about the nature of your illness, how long you have had it, etc. If your problem is of a personal nature, it is not necessary for you to be too explicit, i.e. it is a personal female/male problem. These details are recorded in your notes for the benefit of the healthcare professional who sees youYou can help us to decide which of the available alternatives is most appropriate for you by answering the receptionists questions as simply and clearly as you can. Our aim is that all patients with an acute problem will have an appointment or contact with a healthcare professional on the day of their call. More routine problems will be booked in an appointment within an appropriate time scale.The website has details of the doctors rota for the week which you can access under Doctors Rota page.

Forty years following the end of the Vietnam War, a group of individuals from Pacific, Union and Washington have come together to bring The Vietnam Moving Wall to Washington.
The group, Friends of Vietnam Veterans, started meeting in September 2012 to plan the five-day event.
The wall will be open for viewing Sept. 19-23 at the Washington Fairgrounds.
"Many folks are familiar with the Vietnam Memorial located at our nation's capital in Washington, D.C.," said Terry Sullentrup, one of the event chairmen, "but very few Vietnam veterans have had the opportunity to actually travel to D.C. and visit the wall. This will give our local veterans, the public and our schoolchildren the opportunity to see a half scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial."
The Moving Wall will be available for viewing beginning at noon Thursday, Sept. 19. The opening ceremony will take place on Thursday evening at 6 p.m.
The wall will remain open 24 hours per day until the closing the ceremony, scheduled for Monday, Sept. 23, at 1 p.m.
There is no cost to view the wall. It will be an outdoor event and will be handicapped accessible.
"This will be a very special event intended to provide possible healing for all Vietnam Veterans, especially those who lost friends/buddies while serving together in Vietnam," Sullentrup said. "Additionally, the memorial will serve as a reminder to everyone the supreme sacrifices that were made by our U.S. military personnel."
Sullentrup said the group also hopes to provide middle and high school students with valuable information about the Vietnam War.
Contributions, Volunteers
The Friends of Vietnam veterans is seeking contributors and sponsors to help defray the cost of the event, which is estimated to be more than $30,000.
Tax-deductible contributions may be mailed to Friends of Vietnam Veterans, P.O. Box 1225, Washington, MO 63090.
Volunteers also are needed to help with parking, greeting visitors, and to help locate names on the wall, as well as with information/reception, escorts, service helpers, food service and refreshments.
For more information or to volunteer, people may call 800-936-5561.
There will be a meeting for volunteers Wednesday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m at VFW Post 2661, 813 S. Jefferson St.
The meeting is for those who have already signed up as well as anyone interested in becoming a volunteer.
About the Wall
Silk screening was used to replicate the names on the wall, making each name as legible as it is on the memorial in Washington, D.C.
Washington will be the structure's 1,305th destination.
There are 58,282 names listed on the memorial.
The wall contains the names of 20 local service members from the area. They were from Gerald, Marthasville, New Haven, Owensville, Pacific, St. Clair, Sullivan, Union and Washington.

King Pin Questions
3 Attachment(s)
Previously I had posted in my journal that my king pins and spindles came apart with ease. Today I broke them down further removing the bushing inserts and measured everything up. The king pins themselves measure .811.
What is the free play tolerance suppose to be between the king pin and the bronze bushings? Also is there a site where I can by the new bushings, or should I just head down to the local bearing shop to buy the bushings.
king pins
King pins normally come in sets with new pins and bushings. After the bushings are pressed into the spindles they have to be reamed to the correct size. If you don't have the reamer or have never done this, it is a job for the machine shop. They will ream or hone the bushing to the correct fit to the pin.
As an old machinist. The rule of thumb for fit is a light push with thumb. Usually between .0005 to .001" Done on a Sunnen hone. The reamers tend to be a bit more loose.

Chinese Scientists Produce Neurons from Urine

Cells found in urine
(Source: Nature)
The process could help those with neurodegenerative diseases
Researchers have found a new way of
producing neurons
for those with neurodegenerative conditions: taking cells from our urine.
A team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Duanqing Pei, have found a way to extract ordinary cells from human urine and reprogram them into functional neurons that can assist in the study and potential treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
The new method strays away from the use of embryonic stem cells, which are known to cause tumors and pose ethical dilemmas, as well as traditional techniques for obtaining stem cells such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Typically, iPSCs come from the blood, but they cannot be obtained in large quantities and they are patient-specific, meaning certain cells must come from certain patients in order to be helpful forms of treatment.
Instead, the team of Chinese scientists cells were isolated from the urine of three different patients aged 10, 25 and 37. These cells were transformed into neural progenitors, which are entry-level brain cells.
From there, the cells were grown in Petri dishes with a medium that helped the cells convert into mature neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The process completely avoided undergoing the pluripotent stage. Also, unlike traditional methods, a virus wasn't used to deliver the genes into the cells. Instead, a small piece of bacterial DNA replicated the cytoplasm and delivered the gene without integrating it into the chromosome (which can lead to an unpredictable genetic makeup).
Even better, it only took about 12 days for the cells to resemble pluripotent stem cells, which is half the time required to produce iPSCs.
The neurons and astrocytes were placed into newborn rat brains, and after four weeks, the cells were acting like
functional neurons
with no tumors or mutations.
The cells can be taken from almost any patient's urine, as the process is a little less picky than iPSCs coming from blood. This makes this process a better option for wider availability of these cells.

The parents of a murdered schoolgirl spoke words of forgiveness today after the serial child killer who took their daughter's life was told he would be jailed until he was at least 89.
Robert Black, now 64, was told he must serve a minimum 25 years for murdering nine-year-old Jennifer Cardy, who was snatched as she cycled to a friend's house in Ballinderry, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, in 1981.
The murderer, who has been convicted of killing four young girls and is being investigated over a fifth disappearance, is now serving at least 12 life sentences at Wakefield Prison.
This includes the jail terms for murder and kidnapping handed down by Mr Justice Ronald Weatherup at Belfast Crown Court, which effectively added a further seven years to the date at which Black could be considered for release.
The former delivery driver abducted Jennifer while on a work trip to Northern Ireland and dumped her body in water close to the main Belfast-Dublin road near Hillsborough, Co Antrim, before catching a ferry home.
Mr Justice Weatherup, who earlier heard the killer's own lawyer offer no plea for mercy, said it was a "wicked deed".
Outside the court, Jennifer's parents, Andy and Pat, said they were satisfied that, in real terms, Black would spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Mr Cardy said his family's faith in God sustained them, adding: "It has been an emotional couple of hours. It has been a long, long journey. It has been 30 years of a journey."
Of the sentence, he said: "We are very, very pleased. We think that justice has been done. We don't think Robert Black will ever be out of jail again to assault wee girls. He will never be able to torture little girls."
Mrs Cardy, who also has two sons - Philip and Mark - and a daughter, Victoria, said: "There is absolutely no bitterness.
"I have never been asked personally to forgive Robert Black."
But Mrs Cardy, who was in a wheelchair after being injured in a recent car accident, added that if he asked for forgiveness: "I would meet him face to face."
Black was convicted of Jennifer's murder in October following a six-week trial at Armagh Crown Court.
Today's hearing began with prosecution barrister Toby Hedworth QC arguing that Black should face a whole life term, given his other killings.
David Spens QC, for the defence, told the judge: "This is one of those rare cases in which there is no mitigation and so I propose to say nothing in that regard."
Around 40 killers including Moors Murderer Ian Brady and Rose West have formally been told they will never be released.
But the judge instead sentenced Black to a minimum of 25 years imprisonment.
Mr Justice Weatherup told Black that Jennifer's abduction on August 12 1981 was "an act of sexual predation".
"Whether you sexually assaulted Jennifer has been a matter of some debate but there can be no doubt that the abduction was intended to further a sexual purpose.
"Within hours of that abduction Jennifer had died by drowning as a result of your action in placing her in water.
"You subjected a vulnerable child to unpardonable terror and took away her life.
"By the manner of that loss, you also wounded forever a family that treasured that child. It was a wicked deed."
The judge spoke of victim impact statements have been provided by Jennifer's father and her brother, Philip.
"Her father speaks poignantly about Jennifer, of the family's awareness of Jennifer's absence from all family occasions, and of the harrowing revelations in the course of the trial."
The judge added: "Jennifer's brother was a six-year-old boy who lost his sister.
"He speaks of fear and dread, of a child's nightmare of the family being targeted again, of dreams of what Jennifer's last words were, and how she would have struggled in her final hour."
The judge said: "Taking a life of a family member takes away parts of the lives of many others."
Black, who was led into the Belfast court in handcuffs and wearing a white T-shirt, grey top and blue jeans, was given headphones after apparently being unable to hear the court proceedings.
He showed no emotion during the sentencing and was again handcuffed by the two prison officers who flanked him as they led him away.
Jennifer's parents sat to his left, only feet away from their daughter's killer.
After the hearing ended, the deeply religious couple spent a few quiet moments alone before addressing the media, amid heavy wind and rain, outside the court building.
Black was found guilty in 1994 of three unsolved child murders in the 1980s - those of 11-year-old Susan Maxwell, from the Scottish Borders, five-year-old Caroline Hogg, from Edinburgh, and Sarah Harper, 10, from Morley, near Leeds.
Black's reign of terror finally ended in 1990 when he was caught red-handed with a six-year-girl hooded, bound, gagged and stuffed in a sleeping bag in the back of his van in the Scottish village of Stow. He had sexually assaulted her moments earlier.
During his trial for Jennifer's murder, Black did not betray a flicker of emotion, presenting an unwavering picture of cold indifference.
Black was born in 1947 near Falkirk in Scotland to a single mother who put him up to be fostered within weeks.
The couple who took him in later died and Black was placed in a children's home back in Falkirk.
The predatory paedophile has long been the prime suspect in the case of missing 13-year-old Genette Tate, who was last seen in a rural lane in Aylesbeare, Devon, in 1978.

Best Buy Cloud Music Service Debuts: Lacklustre
With Google, Amazon and Apple all offering robust online multimedia download portals, most companies would steer clear of such a crowded and competitive market. But not big-box retailer Best Buy, which recently launched its own music service.
Unfortunately, industry experts have not been impressed.
Messy Software Just the Tip of the Iceberg
Dubbed the "Best Buy Music Cloud", the platform allows users to download digital music files and playlists from servers that can be accessed anywhere with an Internet connection.
There's a free Lite version of the service that allows users to get 30-second previews of each tune -- not unlike iTunes or any other competing service -- with a $3.99 Premium version to come later on. Presumably this means users will get access to a set number of songs over a monthly period.
Critics say that using the Best Buy Music Cloud just isn't easy or convenient in any way.
"I ... found the software inflexible, and painful, and with some odd design decisions, to boot," said PC Mag's Mark Hachman. "The worst choice? For now, you're restricted to listening to 30-second samples of your own songs." (Source: foxnews.com)
CNET offered its own opinion, stating, "clearly, Best Buy needs to fine-tune its new service before it can go head-to-head against the likes of Amazon and Apple."
Other complaints: some of the songs are improperly uploaded, meaning you may not even get the 30 second sample you want.
Best Buy: Improvements Coming
Best Buy says that improvements are coming, and that users who sign up for the $3.99 subscription will get unlimited storage for their libraries. (Source: pcmag.com)
For those determined to try out Best Buy's Music Cloud, the service is currently available to PC, Apple and Android users.

While I notice some grit to the trigger pull, it doesn't seem too bad to me. It seems to have got better the more I have shot it too.
This is a discussion on Walther PPS within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I used to be a Walther PPK fan about 25 year ago but rid of several only because I was young and needed the money. ...
I used to be a Walther PPK fan about 25 year ago but rid of several only because I was young and needed the money. I recently have been looking at the 9mm PPS. I like how thin the gun is but the trigger on the gun's I have dry fired many times while looking feel like they have grit or sand on them. Is this just me or has onyone elso noticed this. I have and still own a couple glocks and XD and the triggers seem much smoother. I have shot what I own and they are sweet. I am shying away thus far on the PPS due to what I noted above. Any input appreciated.

I like my PPS trigger better than my Glock.
My wife owns a 9mm PPS which she bought new. I have fired it quite a bit. The trigger is a little gritty at first but after several hundered rounds it has smoothed out nicely.
PPS is my favorite gun. I have nearly a dozen EDC class pistols and the PPS gets the nod every day. The trigger smooths out after a couple boxes of range ammo.
My wife had a PPS for a while. I ran several hundred rounds thru it. Extremely accurate pistol from my experience. However, I don't really trust Walthers for defensive carry, just my opinion, yours may vary.
As I posted, I was always a Walther fan. Everytime I look at the PPS at my local gun store the person there says "surely your not going to replace your Glock 26 with that (meaning PPS) are you? The trigger is definetely gritty feeling new on the PPS
The trigger improves a great deal after a few hundred rounds, and I will echo the sentiments above that after it breaks in the break is much better than a Glock.
Hey locally they have PPS's at $585 is that a decent price they have the 9mm and I think the .40 both $585

The lack of smoothness throughout the trigger pull is caused by the firing pin spring bugling against the side of the firing pin "tunnel" as the spring compresses.
To minimize this, remove the firing pin and using a Q-tip, clean and lube the tunnel. Do not over lubricate! Excessive lube in this area will follow the firing pin, exit the firing pin hole and contact the primer of the chambered round. Not a good thing.

Oh, it has outrageous curl, that's for sure. But what it really has is tone. Unlike many maple guitars which can sound sterile or shrill, it has a wonderfully open tone with the almost contradictory qualities of incredible depth and crystal clarity. It's open, loud, balanced, focused, mature....it just goes on and on. It's a grand concert sized guitar with Nick Lucas depth. It's like having the best of dreadnought and OM worlds at the same time.
The AC-610 is no longer listed in the current catalog. That's too bad. I'm glad I got my hands on this one.

Occupy Wall Street protesters have worn it, as have Anonymous hactivists, chief WikiLeaker Julian Assange and that guy who shared the screen with a shorn Natalie Portman in "V for Vendetta" (that would be Hugo Weaving, who also appears in another cult conspiracy movie, "The Matrix"). But where did the dapper and sinister mask of Guy Fawkes' face come from? The BBC knows all, tells all below. —KA
Early in the book V destroys the Houses of Parliament by blowing it up, something Fawkes had planned and failed to do in 1605.
British graphic novel artist David Lloyd is the man who created the original image of the mask for a comic strip written by Alan Moore. Lloyd compares its use by protesters to the way Alberto Korda's famous photograph of Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara became a fashionable symbol for young people across the world.
"The Guy Fawkes mask has now become a common brand and a convenient placard to use in protest against tyranny - and I'm happy with people using it, it seems quite unique, an icon of popular culture being used this way," he says.

MAGMA Engineering Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd on track for expansion
Aachen, January 2010. During the last decade casting process simulation has become a mandatory tool for many foundries. They are able to solve their casting or tool design as well as process or production issues economically and in shorter lead times. Since 1993, MAGMA, market leader in foundry process simulation, has been serving the Asian-Pacific foundries with its technology as well as its process and product improvement tools. Today, the foundries' demand for best-in-class software tools such as MAGMASOFT®, and competent engineering services is still increasing.
Therefore, MAGMA Engineering Asia-Pacific Pte Ltd (MAGMA Asia) in Singapore, the wholly owned subsidiary of MAGMA Giessereitechnologie GmbH, Germany, has decided to consequently follow its long term strategy to serve its customers locally with comprehensive services and own competent engineering personnel and is again on track for expansion.
MAGMA Asia has established its own wholly owned subsidiary MAGMA Engineering (Suzhou) Co. Ltd, in Suzhou, PRC. It is expected that this new entity will be fully operational early 2010 with further expansion plans within China in the future.
In parallel, MAGMA Asia has taken the additional initiative to change its liaison office in India – located in Hyderabad – into a full branch office, hence being able to offer MAGMA's products and services locally in an optimized way.
To support these ambitious goals, MAGMA GmbH and MAGMA Asia are pleased to announce that Mr. Christian Kleeberg has rejoined MAGMA Asia as the future new "Group Managing Director of MAGMA Asia", comprising the supervision of MAGMA's offices in Singapore, Suzhou (PRC), Hyderabad (India) and Seoul (Korea). Mr. Christian Kleeberg was the former founding MD of MAGMA's Singapore office from 1996 until 2004 and spent the last 6 years with multinational corporations in Asia demonstrating an impressive track record in terms of sales and service implementation and corporate leadership. He will start officially with effect from 1st January 2010 and will become a minority shareholder of MAGMA Asia.
This decision underlines MAGMA's commitment for Asia–Pacific, in particular through:
- MAGMA's premium software products and services with its new software generation now in the pipeline providing an unbeaten advantage for foundries in the region.
- Furthermore, MAGMA's product and process engineering competence center providing technological know-how and product / process knowledge using its own development, engineering and optimization tools.
- Additionally, MAGMA's training academy providing trainings not only on its own software products but also on other foundry related technologies to the industry.
All of the above will strengthen MAGMA's continuous expansion strategy to serve the Asian-Pacific foundries and casting users to fulfill MAGMA's long term commitment: "Where you find castings you find MAGMA".

'Hart of Dixie' Guest Star Logan Mize Plays Cool
The city of Bluebell, Ala., is about to get a dose of Nashville. Indie musician Logan Mize guest stars on this week's episode of the CW's "Hart of Dixie." While we can't reveal too much, the singer-songwriter will play himself, and promises to take the stage as well as debut his acting chops. The latter, though, was a surprise to the "Good Life" singer, who may have left the set with the acting bug.
"I loved the experience," he tells The Boot. "I'm sure I was bumbling awkwardly around the set like a newby, but the cast and crew couldn't have been any more welcoming. I was a little nervous going in, but by the end of the shoot I was ready for a full-time gig! Maybe Jerry Bruckheimer will see my performance and cast me in the 'Top Gun' sequel. [laughs]"
Keep an eye on The Boot's Twitter and Instagram accounts Tuesday (Feb. 19) during the East coast broadcast of "Hart of Dixie" as Logan takes over our social networks to share pictures from the set and dish on the making of the episode.
"Hart of Dixie," which has hosted country stars Scotty McCreery, Laura Bell Bundy and Kelleigh Bannen, airs at 8:00 PM ET on CW.

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. – Researchers and designers from the Indirect Fire and Munitions Nonlethal Program worked in tandem with a mortar section from 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Sept. 13, to get a better understanding of how Marines work together and how the mortar system is used Sept. 13.
The IDFM Nonlethal Program falls under the Nonlethal Weapons Directorate and Escalation of Force Branch and is supported by the Marine Corps Combat Development Command, the Human Effects Center of Excellence, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgran Division and the Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center.
The individuals involved in the program are designing a nonlethal weapon that will give Marines and coalition forces the capability to suppress enemy forces at farther distances. Their idea is to basically use the existing 81mm mortar platform to create a mortar round that will be able to temporarily suppress an enemy through visual and auditory effects, much like a flash bang but on a larger scale with a larger effect range.
"What we do is take identified gaps in capabilities that exist within the Marine Corps and we conduct research and development through the joint nonlethal directorate with the purpose to determine capabilities that will fill those gaps," said Arthur Bornshein, director, Enterprise Solutions, Dynology Corporation.
There are already nonlethal weapons incorporated into the Marine Corps arsenal but there is nothing that would give Marines an ability to use nonlethal force at the ranges up to 4,000 meters (.24 miles).
"The capability gap that has been identified is the inability to suppress personnel with nonlethal weapons at ranges beyond those in the current inventory," said Bornshein. "There are programs now that are attempting to fill gaps out to 500 meters but if a threat is engaging coalition or Marine forces at ranges beyond that there is no delivery system for nonlethal weapons out to 4,000 meters."
Some in the research and design team designing this weapon systems have no experience with mortar systems. Coming to Camp Pendleton and seeing how these systems are used and talking with Marines is vital to their ability to accomplish their mission.
"We are looking at the accuracy of this system," said Air Force 1st Lt. Allen Deneve, engineer, Air Force Research Laboratory. "With human effects if you get too close you end up causing unnecessary harm but if you are too far away you don't get the effect you were looking for."
While getting the opportunity to see how the mortar system works and the idiosyncrasies the members of the IDFM Nonlethal Program sat down with the Marines of the mortar section and asked for information from them.
"We appreciate feedback from the Marines. Whether they think this is valuable, some features or functions that they would like to see is one of the things that's important to know now, early on in the program while we are going through the design phase," said Deneve.
Coming out to Camp Pendleton gave the research and design team from the Air Force Research Laboratory an opportunity to gather valuable information for their testing. They will take the feedback from the Marines and the information they gained from their time at the range to further their design, increasing the ability for this type of weapon to possibly become a viable option for Marines and coalition forces in the future.
