Gary Gilbert clearly enjoys what he does. He listened to my ideas, likes and dislikes. He spent 2 hours assisting me with the color scheme of each room as it related to the fabric in the shades and the wood trim. He had creative ideas, but was not pushy with them. When I inquired or waffled in a particular area he'd jump in to suggest alternatives I was not considering ( ie: trim or scallop design) He measured the windows 2x to ensure accuracy, which I appreciated even though they were on point.

Wannabe Taxi-Maker Vows to Build Cabs in Brooklyn
One of the three automakers in the running to provide the city's yellow cabs for the next decade is vowing to build the cars in Brooklyn.
The Turkish automaker Karsan said it'll outfit a 250,000-square foot space at the South Brooklyn marine terminal if it's selected to manufacture the Taxi of Tomorrow.
"It makes far more sense for us to build the car in Brooklyn than it does to send all these U.S. components to Turkey and ship it back," said Karsan USA President Bill Wachtel, who noted the project could provide hundreds of jobs.
Wachtel said his company's proposal includes a partnership with Chrysler to build engines, transmissions and gear boxes for the taxis.
The other competitors for the Taxi of Tomorrow — Ford and Nissan — are staying tight-lipped about Karsan's proposal.
A spokesman for the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission said it's in the process of evaluating what he calls "strong" proposals from the three finalists.
The vehicle chosen to be the Taxi of Tomorrow will hit the streets in late 2013 and replace the other taxi models once they're retired within five years.

OSAKA – The leaders of Sharp Corp. and Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. have agreed to extend the deadline for the Taiwanese firm's takeover deal beyond Monday, sources familiar with the matter say.
Following Friday's meeting between Sharp President Kozo Takahashi and Hon Hai Chairman Terry Gou in Shenzhen, after the Taiwanese firm on Thursday announced a delay in signing its rescue offer, the deadline is expected to be extended by around one to two weeks, the sources said.
On Thursday, Sharp's board decided to accept Hon Hai's takeover bid. But hours later the company better known by its trade name Foxconn said it needed to clarify the content of a document disclosed at the last minute by Sharp reportedly listing about ¥350 billion of contingent liabilities.
Contingent liabilities are potential liabilities that may become financial obligations depending on uncertain factors such as lawsuit results and accounting changes.
Sharp, which has been hurt by stiff foreign competition in liquid crystal displays, said in a statement that it is in talks with Hon Hai about reaching a definitive agreement "by confirming our managerial status, including Sharp's contingent risks."
Hon Hai on Friday released a statement saying most of that content had not been provided during the negotiations.
In a responding statement, Sharp said: "Sharp's contingent liabilities have already been appropriately disclosed in our securities report and quarterly report based on accounting rules," adding that no further disclosure is necessary.
The deal would be the first acquisition of a major Japanese electronics maker by a foreign company. Hon Hai is offering ¥660 billion ($5.9 billion) to gain control of Sharp.

Monica Martinez celebrated the completion of her new Habitat home during dedication ceremonies in February 2011. Below is a speech she gave at a recent Habitat event.
Hi, my name is Monica Martinez. I have just recently moved into my new Habitat home last month. I have been married to Robert for one year (but we've been together for a total of 11 years). We have three children who we're very proud of -- Monique 9, Jose, 7 and Alina, 3. I first found out about Habitat through Robert's aunt who is a Habitat homeowner in an east side neighborhood. Since we knew we wanted to start looking for a home, we took a chance and applied for a Habitat home. When we first applied we did not qualify – they told us we needed to clear up some credit issues first. After doing that, we applied again a month later and found out we were approved last March!
We were both excited and nervous because we had to do construction and we didn't have any experience in that. So with a husband working full time, I was our primary sweat equity earner. I even sprained my ankle during sweat equity hours and never got behind – I got to work some of my hours in the Home Centers while I was recovering. I have to say my favorite part of my sweat equity hours was being on the construction site -- you get to interact with so many volunteers and you get to know all your neighbors because you're working hard on each others' houses. Throughout the sweat equity process you really get to learn the "how to's" of everything in a house. Now I feel I don't need a husband since I know how to fix everything in the house. Just kidding…
Throughout the sweat equity process I felt very motivated – especially since you know in the end you will own your own home. Robert and I always felt welcome and comfortable working at the site – it felt like family. The more we were out there, the more we learned – and boy is there a lot to learn. I kept thinking that I was so looking forward to not living in an apartment. Having a home is not like apartment living where I never hung pictures – since it wasn't ours. This home, as my mom likes to say, is ours!
I had always been a working parent – I used to work for Sodexo at USAA. I never missed work or was late. After I had my son Jose and it became clear that he had some special needs that required lots of doctor appointments, I had to stop work to be a full time mom.
Owning my new home helps me to give my children more of the attention that they deserve and need – especially some extra attention to Jose. Jose just needs a little more attention when it comes to certain things like homework, or getting ready for a family outing. Now that Jose is getting older and doing better – both at school and home – I feel like it's time to either go back to work or finish college. I would like to do something related to the medical field, maybe an ultrasound technician. Since the house dedication and moving in, I've been so excited. I feel like I can't do enough to my house. I've since updated our living room furniture and am working on getting Monique a new bed. The kids were so excited about getting the house they even got to choose their own rooms. Right now they are vying for who gets the dog in their room.
It's so fun to see how excited the kids are to move to their new elementary school next year. They'll be attending Bob Hope Elementary. I just hope the school is ready for them!!!
Monique will be in the 5th grade, Jose will be in the 3rd grade and Alina in pre-k so I hope to either get a job or go back to school by this August. Maybe I can do full-time work, part-time school or vice versa, we'll see. The sky is the limit! My plans for the future are to turn our house into a home, make some memories, maybe pay off the house early or even extend or add on to it, then go travel with the kids.
I would recommend Habitat to anyone who wants to own a home without putting themselves into debt. I thank God first for giving us the opportunity to own an affordable home, to the volunteers who came out and sweated their bottoms off, the Habitat staff for always being so friendly and funny and to my family for assisting us with not only our sweat equity but for the behind the scenes stuff like babysitting so I could go out and get my hours done. Thank you to all who either come out to volunteer or help fund Habitat to help other families who are in the same situation as we were. Habitat supporters, you not only made my dreams come true, but the dreams of my children too.
Thank you!
Monica Solis moved into her Habitat home in August, 2008. She shared her story during the October, 2008 Legacy Builder's Luncheon.
Hello. My name is Monica Solis. I am very proud to be here today. I'm proud of Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio and the work that it does. I'm also very proud of what HFHSA has helped me accomplish.
I am a single mother of four boys – Isaac who is 12; Nathaniel, 10; Jay, 7 and Moises, 3. They are my life. I wanted to
provide them with a good environment to live in and with the help of HFHSA, I've been able to do that. One of the happiest days of my life was when I moved into my Habitat home – a home that I own — on this past August 23.
My boys are wonderful and everything I do, I do for them. It always made me sad when I was married that we moved 12 times from 3 different states, 7 cities, and house to house. I always wanted to be able to have a home that was ours. We were just never able to afford to buy one.
After I divorced, it was even more difficult. I rented for a while, but I just couldn't keep up with the $900 monthly rent payments. I was really going through a hard time financially and emotionally. I was facing the end of a 12-year marriage, and at the same time I lost my mother. It was really rough and I didn't know what I was going to do. Not having family here in San Antonio made it harder at times. It's just me and my boys.
When my best friend and coworker of mine in the Northside ISD Bil/ESL Department encouraged me to apply for a Habitat home, I knew that this was a wonderful opportunity. Qualifying for this home-buying program has truly been a blessing.
My best friend offered to let me and the boys live with her until we could get on our feet and our house was in the process of getting built. It was wonderful of her to do that and we enjoyed staying there, but it was difficult having so many people under one roof. I felt we were invading her space. My boys had to sleep on the floor at times and there really was no room for them to have their own toys and space. It was a sacrifice, but I think everything we have been through has made me stronger.
I look back very fondly at the time I spent working on my home. I still remember what it made me feel like knowing that very soon I would finally be moving my boys into a home that is all ours. I loved the fact that they wouldn't have to sleep on the floor anymore. Just to think about it brought tears to my eyes and gave me a feeling that I still can't explain. What I couldn't accomplish while being married for 12 years, I was able to do as a single parent. All thanks to Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio, wonderful donors and friends. Even to this day we are still getting a lot of help and support from friends.
I had to do 300 hours of sweat equity. At first I was a little scared, but the satisfaction it gave me helped me overcome my fears. I couldn't wait to be able to sit on my front porch with my girlfriends, look up and be able to say "I was on that roof." Not everyone can say that and it makes me feel so proud every time I say that.
I learned a lot throughout this process. I learned new home maintenance skills and gained knowledge about financial management through the classes I was required to take through the Habitat program. This experience has truly enabled me to better our current situation and work on improving our future.
We've only lived in our home for two months but we are settled in and have already gotten used to calling it "our home." We always said that about the house we lived in before, but in reality, they were only rental homes. It is so much better to take care of our own home. And to make it even better, it's not only ours, but it's affordable. The mortgage payments are fabulous. I now pay less then half of what I had to pay before. I never thought anyone would be able to buy a home for that, and the process to qualify was a lot easier than most people would think. Habitat worked with me the whole time to ensure that everything was done properly.
Living in our home is awesome. My boys are happy with it and have gotten along pretty well with the kids in the neighborhood. I think that it's nice to know that my children and the children of my neighbors will grow up together and become good friends. Another thing that I like about this program is that you get to know your neighbors while you are earning your 300 sweat equity hours. Now that we are in our house we take care of each other and don't let nobody come and ruin have we so hard have worked for "our home". The best part about this whole experience was that I was able to provide for them and be a part of building a home for my boys.
I can't say thank you enough to HFHSA and to the sponsors of my home. It's because of them that we have a place of our own and we don't have to worry about moving again, a least not for a long, long time. I know my boys will eventually grow up and move out, but I love the thought that they will have great memories here and always have a home to come back to and be proud of.
Janie Acosta moved into her Habitat home in 1999. She shared her experience at the 2006 Legacy Builder's Luncheon for Habitat for Humanity of San Antonio.
My name is Janie Acosta and I am a Habitat homeowner. I've lived in my home since 1999 and I'm here to tell you that Habitat really makes a difference. If it weren't for this organization, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Growing up, my family faced a lot of difficulties. My mother died when I was very young and my father was killed in a car accident when I was twelve. It was this hardship that taught my brothers and sisters that we had to stick together as a family. Even though we were poor, we always had a roof over our heads and food to eat. Later, when I got married, I began to realize just how important a home and stability were - because I didn't have it anymore.
My husband couldn't keep a steady job so we were constantly moving from house to house, from apartment to roach-infested apartment. There were holes in the walls, the neighborhoods were bad and my children were never in one place long enough to make friends. I even learned about Habitat for Humanity in 1984 but we were in such a difficult place that I didn't even try to apply. Even though it was hard, I tried to teach my children what I learned when I was growing up: we needed to stick together as a family.
Then, after 11 years of marriage, I got divorced. I had three children with me in a little one bedroom apartment and I didn't know what to do. I was devastated and desperate. I needed stability for my family and me so my children could feel safe. I looked into buying a house – but there was no way I could qualify for a regular mortgage. I lost hope.
Thirteen years after I first learned about Habitat for Humanity, I finally applied for a home. I still didn't think I would qualify but I tried anyway. When Habitat said they'd help me, I found hope again. When I learned about the requirements – the 300 hours of sweat equity – I thought, "Piece of Cake! If this is what it will take to get a home, I can do this." It takes sacrifices to get things and I was willing to do that. Through hard work, I was willing to build a home – not just a house.
I have a completely different life now that I'm in my Habitat home. I married a man I know is dedicated to our family and our home. I know because he worked to build our home right alongside me. Edward, my husband, was a coworker who volunteered his time to help me accomplish my goal. When we finished building the house, we decided to build a life together! I have a job that allows me to dedicate myself to the important things – my family, my faith, and the community. I care for two of my sisters and my youngest daughter, Danielle, is a special needs child so I am very active in her school. My children and grandchildren have a place to spend time together as a family.
When you are blessed, you should bless others in return. Now, I feel that I am able to bless others. I have not forgotten – I will never forget – what Habitat for Humanity did for me. I am very grateful. Thank you.
This speech was given April 3, 2008 at a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. Roxane Faz, a single mother of one had only been in her home a few months. Her home was completed in August, 2007.
Hello my name is Roxane Faz. I recently bought a Habitat home in the Palo Alto community for myself and my 14-year-old son.
Taking that first step to homeownership was a little scary at first, but I made it, thanks to Habitat for Humanity.
I'm here today to say I'm in awe. I'm in awe of all the wonderful volunteers who helped make my new home possible. Without your work and the work of Habitat for Humanity it might not have happened for me. Being a new homeowner is a very overwhelming feeling, but in a good way.
Today, I'm much happier and a lot less stressed. It's been so exciting getting to know my neighbors and decorating my new home. There is just so much I want to do now and I have you – the volunteers – to thank for that.
Before becoming a Habitat homeowner, I lived in low-income housing and in rental homes that were costing me more than what I pay now. The area I lived in was bad and had gangs. I always kept to myself and only talked to my immediate neighbors. I'm a single mom and it was not only hard to make ends meet, it was also scary. I always wanted my son to have his own room and to feel safe.
I saw a billboard about Habitat and decided I would go for it. I knew that if I could get a house for less than what I was already paying and in a better neighborhood, I could make it. And, I would own my own home!
The overwhelming part came when I realized that this was really happening … that I was becoming a homeowner and had to perform 300 hours of sweat equity to make it happen. But I did it. I made it happen. I just had to work out my schedule. In the process I got to know so many wonderful people. It was so nice. I'm still in shock that there are so many people out there willing to help. They are always thinking of others and having fun on site. It was a teaching experience for me; I did not realize that there were that many volunteers!
It was also nice for me to get to work on the homes of my neighbors. I was helping build my community. And then we got to my house. I was like, "This is my house."
I am a homeowner. I come home to my own house and not a rented one. My son has his own room. If anything ever happens to me, I know my son will be taken care of. It is a wonderful experience and I will always let others know about this organization.
Habitat is a great resource for families – helping and teaching us the value of owning a house, and how to overcome our past.
Now, I hope that I can become one of you -- a volunteer -- and help continue to build more Habitat homes and more communities, just like the one we've all help build.

In the wake of last week's meeting of U.S. and international accounting standard setters, the SEC's Mary Schapiro gives a nod to the rulemakers' convergence efforts.
Marie Leone, CFO.com | US
November 6, 2009
Going to IFRS could create a even playing field for Non-CPA's and CPA's. Companines have become to rely on CPA firms for more than the quarterly or annual audit assignments. If companies focus on creating internal IFRS experts this would save money and give the company more flexiblity working with IFRS and a better understanding.
Posted by James Blackwell | November 09, 2009 09:17 am
"IFRS, making accountants wealthy with no benefit to their clients..." But just a little. This isn't about making accountants wealthy, but the Big 4. Once they can dispense with GAAP, they have a huge pool of eager, smart people without big student loans. They get to outsource their work, just as they've been advising clients to do for years.. They WILL ram this through, and while it will never happen, should be tried for treason.
Posted by Super Heater | November 06, 2009 11:27 pm
Hopefully it's not too late for her to rethink her nod and undo it...IFRS, making accountants wealthy with no benefit to their clients...
Posted by Thomas Tone | November 06, 2009 04:04 pm
re the suggestion that only the biggest 100 (300) firms should switch to IFRS; Bear in mind that the biggest 100 (300) firms account for approximately 50% (70%) of total market capitalization of the US market. Figures are similar based on sales or profits or shareholders equity. i.e. if the number of firms switching were set at 300 (plus volunteers) it is likely that in excess of 70% of market cap would have switched. At that stage, one wonders how viable it would be to keep a US GAAP system for the remainder. (Having said that, the market cap of the non-required switchers would likely be in excess of $3 trillion.)

Prince William to get 21st birthday stamp
Prince William is to become the first member of the Royal Family to have stamps issued to celebrate his 21st birthday.
The Royal Mail said it had reached an agreement with Buckingham Palace to issue the stamps next year ahead of the prince's birthday on 21 June.
The company said it expected "enormous world-wide interest" in the 27p first-class stamps.
The Queen will have final approval, as with all royal commemorative stamps.
'Enormous interest'
Gavin Macrae, managing director of Royal Mail Stamps and Collectibles, said: "This will be the first time Royal Mail has issued a stamp to commemorate a royal `coming of age' and we are confident there will be enormous worldwide interest from the public and collectors alike.
"This Royal issue follows a long tradition of commemorative stamps produced to celebrate special events in the life of the Queen and immediate members of the Royal Family."
But it will not be the first time Prince William has appeared on British stamps.
The Prince, currently studying history of art at St Andrews University in Scotland, appeared in a special miniature stamp with the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Prince of Wales to celebrate the centenary of the birth of the Queen Mother on 4 August 2000.
St James's Palace declined to comment on the stamps.

As the choir of St. Jude Thaddeus parish in Albuquerque began the final hymn on Sunday, a man leaped over the pews and began stabbing members of the choir. Four people were stabbed before the attacker was restrained by parishioners. Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan expressed his sorrow and offered his prayers for all those affected by the violent incident. In a statement he released, Archbishop Sheehan said,
"This is the first time in my 30 years serving as archbishop in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and as Bishop of Lubbock, that anything like this has occurred. I pray for all who have been harmed, their families, the parishioners and that nothing like this will ever happen again."
All four of the injured parishioners were treated at hospitals and listed in stable condition. It is unknown at this time whether the attacker had any ties to the victims or whether he regularly attended the church.
Please join us as we pray for all those affected by this violent act, and for an end to violence throughout the world.

AC / Climate control broke completely
I haven't seen any problems with the AC posted so i thought i should.
a few days ago i started the car and the entire ventilation system stopped working, no lights, no fans, nothing at all. No alerts on the system either.
BMW is replacing the electronics under warranty, but this reallly sucks, i just bought the car (2009 35i) only a few days ago and it's been in the shop for more than i have owned it
Sorry to hear you had a problem, but think of it as an opportunity to get a new electronics system for free. You'll be on the road enjoying it soon enough.

Over the last few years SHS has been working to be a more trans* inclusive office. Some of our efforts include hiring staff with trans* care experience, training our staff in basic trans* competency and sending some of our current providers to the Trans* Health Conference at the Mazzoni Center. We are committed to being a gender-affirming office, but we realize that our efforts are a work in progress. We would love to hear any feedback you may have! Please send your questions, comments and suggestions to Erika Gross at firstname.lastname@example.com!
Many of our providers have either experience treating trans* clients or have attended trans* specific health training at the Mazzoni Center.
Trans* care at SHS includes:
- primary medical care
- gender-affirming hormone therapy
- comprehensive gynecological and sexual health care
- referrals for surgeons, endocrinologists and other specialists
- referrals for other trans* competent providers in the Philadelphia area
What should I expect at my first visit if I'm interested in hormone therapy?
- At SHS, we utilize the informed consent model of care for hormone therapy. (This means you work with your provider to make an informed decision about your health.)
- Be prepared for your appointment to last at least 30-45 minutes.
- Your provider will inquire about past medical and surgical history and your current medications and allergies.
- Your provider will ask about your gender experience and goals of transition, if any.
- Your provider will order some baseline laboratory tests and if you're comfortable with it, perform a basic physical exam. (This will not include a genital exam.)
- If you're interested in gender-affirming hormone therapy, the provider will go over your options with you. The provider will review the reversible and permanent effects of the medicines you may be prescribed, possible side-effects and how medical transition may affect your body.
- You will be given plenty of time and many opportunities to ask questions about your medical transition.
- You will be given a copy of the informed consent form to take home and review.
- You will be given trans* health guide for the Philadelphia area, including resources both on and off campus.
What should I expect during follow-up appointments?
- Your provider will see you for a follow-up appointment when your laboratory results come back. (Anywhere between a couple of days and a week.)
- During this appointment, the provider will go over the results with you. You will review the informed consent for gender-affirming hormone therapy again and will be asked to sign it.
- Your provider will then prescribe your hormones.
- If you require injections, the provider or a nurse will teach you a safe injection technique. Click the links below for more information!
Intramuscular Technique
Subcutaneous Technique
- You will continue to see your provider for follow-up visits after one month, three months, six months, and then every six - twelve months or as frequently as necessary.
- At all of these appointments, your provider will continue to promote health and wellness. (This is something we do for all of our patients.) You will be counseled on healthy diet and exercise habits, appropriate immunizations, STI & HIV testing and pregnancy prevention. (if applicable)
- Your provider may schedule another visit to discuss any health issues reviewed during your initial appointment.

Trent Dilfer returned to practice Thursday. He limped slightly, but he was able to trot. He did not run wind sprints with the rest of the team.
Coach Romeo Crennel said Charlie Frye would get at least 50 percent of the snaps, but now the door is open for Dilfer to start against the Jaguars Sunday. Crennel will delay a situation.
Meanwhile, Frye said practice went well Wednesday, the first time he ever practiced the majority of the time with the first team.
MORE WOUNDED: On the injury front, Alvin McKinley was back on the field after missing Wednesday with an ankle injury. Nose tackle Ethan Kelly is still bothered by a swollen left knee and did not practice.
HELP FOR REUBEN: It looks like the offensive line will be intact for the first time in four weeks, which is good timing for Reuben Droughns as he needs just 59 yards to reach 1,000.
Joe Andruzzi missed the last two weeks with a calf injury and Cosey Coleman missed the week before that with a knee injury. Both guards are ready to go Sunday.
Droughns said he is more concerned about beating the Jaguars than getting the 1,000 yards. He said he has plans to reward his offensive linemen.
"I'm going to get them a couple Bentley's - the models," he said.
Droughns should get the 1,000 yards in the 12th game and not need the other four games.

by ROGER ALLEN – publisher
Winston Churchill said Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried. Someone else described Democracy as two wolves and a rabbit voting on what to have for dinner.
Well, the wolves (aka Congress) just passed an omnibus budget bill to keep our government going for a while-an annual necessity. Congress (as usual) attached projects to the bill that are earmarked for specific uses. This time around, these projects number around 8,000. Some (as usual) may benefit their sponsoring Congressmen more than the country.
The earmarks amount to only about one percent of the budget, but that's still a lot of money.
Hey! It's our system! Congress has the authority to spend our tax money, and they often vote themselves some nice perks that they don't advertise.
It's unfortunate that most Congressmen don't read the laws they vote for. They rely on their political party to tell them how to vote. Good thing we have a two-party system. Each can keep an eye on the other.
We really can't expect to have it otherwise. The national budget is so long and complex that no one person could be expected to read and understand the legal language in thousands of pages. A large number of Congressmen are lawyers, but even they have only 24 hours in a day.
Speaking of lawyers
A lawyer died and arrived at the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter asked him the usual question, "What have you done to merit entrance into Heaven?"
The lawyer thought a moment, then said, "A week ago I gave a quarter to a homeless person on the street."
Saint Peter asked Gabriel to check this out in the records and after a moment Gabriel affirmed that it was indeed true.
"Well," said Saint Peter, "that's fine, but it's not really quite enough to get you into Heaven."
"Wait, wait!" said the lawyer. "There's more! Three years ago, I gave another homeless person a quarter."
Saint Peter nodded to Gabriel, who, after a moment, nodded back that it was true. Saint Peter whispered to Gabriel, "Well, what do you suggest we do with this fellow?"
Gabriel gave the lawyer a sidelong glance, then said to Saint Peter, "Let's give him back his 50 cents and tell him to go to Hell!"
Lawyers at work
ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.
ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

May 20, 2012
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - In front of a sold out Lee Stadium crowd of 1,718 on Sunday afternoon, the #5 Tennessee Lady Vol softball squad (49-11) forced the "if necessary"' game at the Knoxville Regional by topping Virginia Tech (42-20), 2-1.
Sophomore shortstop Madison Shipman blasted her 10th HR of the year as part of a 1-for-2, walk, RBI effort, while junior right fielder Kat Dotson went 1-for-3 with a RBI. Senior designated player Shelby Burchell registered her 10th double of the campaign while going 1-for-3 at the dish. Junior third baseman Raven Chavanne recorded two of Tennessee's seven total base knocks and made several outstanding defensive plays.
Junior pitcher Ivy Renfroe improved to 22-8 overall and picked up her third win in the last two days, allowing just a single run on four hits with a walk and three strikeouts in a complete-game effort.
UT's nation-leading defense exerted its influence on the proceedings right from the start in the top of the first. Tennessee's third baseman Chavanne dove into foul ground to catch a liner from center fielder Lauren Gaskill for an impressive first out. After sophomore shortstop Madison Shipman handled a sharp bouncer off the bat of second baseman Kylie McGoldrick, Chavanne leapt to her left for a diving stab of first baseman Courtney Liddle's line drive to end the inning.
The long ball got the Big Orange on the scoreboard with two down in the bottom of the first as Shipman hammered a drive that bounced off the very top of the wall for a 1-0 Lady Vol advantage.
With Renfroe cruising in the circle, Burchell attempted to get another scoring threat started in the bottom of the second, blasting her 10th double off the Lee Stadium wall. Unfortunately for Tennessee, Virginia Tech hurler Harrell retired the next three Lady Vols she faced as the lead-off two-bagger went for naught.
The Hokies finally managed their initial base runner of the contest in the top of the fourth as a walk issued to McGoldrick broke a streak of 10 straight retired by Renfroe. Liddle was struck on a 3-2 pitch and suddenly VT had a pair of runners aboard with still only one down. Third baseman Kelsey Mericka came to the plate and hit a sharp grounder right to Chavanne. The Thousand Oaks, Calif., native corralled the ball, turned quickly to step on third and fired across the diamond for a huge, inning-ending double play to end the threat.
Having gotten out of the previous half-inning's jam, Shipman got UT off to a good start in the bottom of the fourth by drawing a lead-off walk against Harrell. Once again the lead-off base runner was wasted as a fielder's choice, a long fly ball off the bat of Burchell and a bouncer back to the circle left the occupant stranded at first.
For the first time all day, Virginia Tech got its lead-off on base during the top of the fifth as catcher Betty Rose registered Tech's initial hit of the contest on a base knock to center. With one out in the frame, a Lady Vol throw on a grounder from VT's Dani Anderson, proved wide of second for an error as the Hokies suddenly boasted occupants at the corners and just one down. Renfroe got out of the jam, however, inducing a routine pop-up by designated player Logan Spaw and handling a sharp grounder back to the circle by pinch hitter Katey Smith as Tech left a pair stranded.
Looking some vital insurance, the Lady Vol speed game got a scoring rally started with two down in the bottom of the fifth. Lewis christened the outburst with an infield single and moved to second on a base knock through the infield. With runners at first and second, Dotson ripped a base hit to the outfield, proving enough to score Lewis from second. The Chattanooga, Tenn., native crossed the plate perhaps a second before Chavanne was caught trying to advance to third to end the inning as Tennessee moved in front 2-0.
That proved a huge run in the contest as Tech refused to go quietly in the top of the seventh. Right fielder Kat Banks managed a one-out single back through the middle of the UT infield. Following a groundout by Anderson that advanced the runner into scoring position, Spaw drove a shot into center fielder as Banks scored, cutting the Big Orange advantage to 2-1. Kristen Froechlich stepped to the dish in a huge pinch hitting spot, but struck out swinging for Renfroe's third K of the contest as UT forced the "if necessary" game for a berth in NCAA Super Regionals.

The compact and lightweight Sony PMW-100 XDCAM HD422 Handheld Camcorder is designed for the true working broadcast professional. It supports broadcast quality 50 Mb/s MPEG-2 recording in Full HD and records to SxS cards. It features dual card slots, which allow for four hours of total recording time when using the MPEG-2 codec at 50 Mb/s. The camcorder features a 10x optical zoom and the lens has a 40 – 400mm focal length in 35 mm equivalent.
The PMW-100 employs a single 1/2.9" Exmor CMOS sensor that's extremely sensitive, making the camcorder suitable for low-light videography. There's a NightShot function as well, which extends that functionality to complete darkness. And there's also a built-in infrared LED light. The PMW-100 is equipped with all the standard professional inputs and outputs, including an HD/SD-SDI output, timecode input/output, headphone jack and genlock in. There are also dual XLRs for audio, composite video out and HDMI out. Other features include Cache recording up to 15 seconds, continuous recording and selectable gamma curves for controlling the look you're capturing. There are six standard gamma curves and four HyperGamma settings, which match those of Sony's high-end CineAlta cameras.
Dear Sir,
i need Sony video camera PMW -100 price list with accessories ,and also give low coste details other out countries.

Hi Tulsi -
You may find our current pricing and recommended accessories by clicking on the link below:
Please contact us via e-mail if you have additional questions: email@example.com
It is a pity that Sony didn't include a half-inch CMOS sensor instead of a one-third, especially at this price. The Canon XF100 uses cheaper CF cards, which makes it a better choice for the price yet within the same type of category. If the price were to come down by at least US$500, then it might represent value for money. Hopefully some of the newer Kickstarter video camera projects might inspire Sony and others, to start giving us the kind of products we need at the prices that we want.

Study Encourages More Brand Interaction
Photo of the author, Jennifer Beese by Jennifer Beese on December 16, 2011
A new study by the marketing agency Mr Youth found that 80 percent of consumers that receive responses from brands made purchases as a result of those interactions.
Mr Youth collected data during the three weeks leading up to and including Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The study found that many brands ignore nearly 50 percent of consumers' posts on social networks like Facebook, and only 61 percent respond through Twitter.
Many brands tend to focus on pushing promotional, and sometimes spammy, messages to followers instead of putting more effort into creating personalized conversations. Changing your approach could lead to more sales. To support this, the study found that 28 percent of consumers made a purchase as a result of interactions with brands that reached out proactively.
Additionally the study found that 65 percent of consumers' recommendations led to a purchase. In fact, recommendations of social media users are twice as likely to lead to a purchase. It's fair to assume that the more you interact with your customers, the more likely they will recommend your brand to friends and family members.
There are a number of social media tools that can provide you with different ways to interact with your followers. We recently discovered that Facebook is testing private messages that will allow you to respond to consumers privately in addition to public replies on wall posts. Twitter has rolled out a redesigned website that makes it easier for you to track social media mentions by separating @ replies from mentions.

That's when Pinto Molina, an ordained Baptist reverend, and Saboia, a Roman Catholic, got out of the car and prayed.
Until somebody else is ordained, because somebody always will be.
Most people know the Universal Life Church as a quick and easy place to get ordained without leaving your couch.
Those words were said by Joshu Sasaki Roshi, who ordained Leonard Cohen as a Zen monk in 1996.
Lorraine identifies clergymen "by the light-beige aura that surrounds the ordained."
And therefore, all the purveyance that he had ordained to make the temple with he took it Solomon his son, and he made it.
But fate, which rules both cats and tigers, had ordained otherwise.
Prior to this eventful day, however, none of the Twelve had been ordained or set apart to their sacred office.
It was on the occasion of this visit that Mr. Hsi was ordained pastor.
But praying exists, therefore all other things are not ordained.
late 13c., "to appoint or admit to the ministry of the Church," from stem of Old French ordener "place in order, arrange, prepare; consecrate, designate" (Modern French ordonner) and directly from Latin ordinare "put in order, arrange, dispose, appoint," from ordo (genitive ordinis) "order" (see order (n.)). The notion is "to confer holy orders upon." Meaning "to decree, enact" is from c.1300; sense of "to set (something) that will continue in a certain order" is from early 14c. Related: Ordained; ordaining.


text: The Divine power of God is available to those who are in absolute oneness with God. Such power unleashed upon everyday life around the world is largely unknown by the world systems.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: This is the retail kit version of our popular USB LiPoly Charger, if you are looking for the non-retail version without the 850mAh battery it can be found here. If you need to charge LiPo batteries, this simple charger will do just that, and do it fast! The USB LiPo Charger is a basic charging circuit that allows you to charge 3.7V LiPo cells at a rate of 500mA or 100mA. It is designed to charge single-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries.
The board incorporates a charging circuit, status LED, selectable solder jumper for 500mA or 100mA charging current, external LED footprint, USB input, two pre-installed JST connectors for SYS OUT and BATT IN, and (back by popular demand) a barrel jack connector.
There is also a 'SYS OUT' with a pre-installed JST connector which allows you to connect the charging circuit directly to your project so you don't need to disconnect the charger each time you want to use it.
Also included is a 850mAh LiPo battery. This is the highest energy density currently in production. Each cells outputs a nominal 3.7V at 900mAh! Comes terminated with a standard 2-pin JST connector - 2mm spacing between pins. Battery includes built-in protection against over voltage, over current, and minimum voltage.
Would it be possible to us the lipo fuel gauge on the sys out pin and have accurate measurements?
Hi Can I parallel charge 150mah 1s lipos with this charger
Does the SYS OUT pins allowed me to use external power supply via USB or barrel jack directly to my arduino, and automatically switch to the Battery power supply if there's no more power supplied by the external power supply ??
It is not mentioned here, but you need a walwart of "A supply voltage of [VREG (typical) + 0.3V] to 6V is recommended". (from Page 11 of the MCP73831T datasheet) There is a schottky diode in series with the barrel jack connector so, in this case, the voltage range for the walwart is [VREG(typical) +.5V] to 6.2V, (assuming Diode Vf = .2V).

Trigonometry/Circles and Triangles/The Simson line
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Take any triangle ABC and any point P on its circumcircle. Let the perpendiculars from P to AB, BC and CA be D, E and F respectively. (At least one side will need to be produced to meet the perpendicular.) Then D, E and F all lie on a straight line, the Simson line of that point.
This theorem is due to Robert Simson, 1687-1768.

Paterson to Issue Second Budget Extender
New York, NY —
With the New York State budget a week overdue Governor Paterson says he's issuing another round of emergency spending measures. Karen DeWitt reports from Albany.
REPORTER: Paterson says, with no budget agreement in the foreseeable future, he's working on another bare bones budget extender to take the state through the remainder of April. He says, by issuing an austerity spending plan, he hopes legislators would get the message that the state is out of money and that business cannot continue as usual.
PATERSON: We're not in a sense giving the option that we can go on and on without addressing this situation because we have unprecedented financial problems in this period in our history than we've had before.
REPORTER: Paterson would not answer when asked if any more meetings with legislative leaders were planned, but he said he was annoyed by what he called excuses and distractions.

Eva Longoria: "Food Chains" Fox
Taking care of a media obligation, Eva Longoria attended Tribeca Talks: After the Movie for "Food Chains" on Saturday (April 26) in New York City.
Glowing in a figure hugging black frock, the film's producer rocked the arrivals carpet outside the SVA Theater before heading in for the talk.
Per the documentary's website: "'Food Chains' explores critical human rights issues in American agriculture from wage theft to modern-day slavery and exposes the powers that perpetuate these un-American violations of human dignity. The film stars dozens of farmworkers as well as Eva Longoria (Executive Producer), Dolores Huerta, Eric Schlosser, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Barry Estabrook, and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers.
"Food Chains" is just one of the many films to debut at this year's Tribeca Film Festival. The annual event runs through Sunday, April 27.
