HERE WERE THE 4 FiNALISTS:
OK, after 2 weeks of tshirt entries, we've picked the top 4 finalists and here they are. We got a lot of really cool and unique ideas, so it was certainly tough to whittle those down to only 4, but that's the nature of contests. I'm sure we'll do some more later on. A lot of people did make suggestions for alternate front designs, but for now we're going to stick with the small breast logo on the front. Anyway, the people who sent in the rear designs below are all getting 2 shirts made of their own design, and now
let's vote
for the final design that goes into production! The winner of the production shirt idea gets a pedal of their choice, in addition to the 2 shirts.
Please vote only once....
NOTE: these are rear art designs,
Front will have a small logo as shown at the bottom left on this page.
vote only once
for the shirt you like the best
2-To vote, just click on the tshirt you like, or the link underneath, and an email will be sent back to us saying which you like.
3-Bogus email entries will be discarded.
I've already gotten some bounce-backs, so these votes won't count.
4-Be sure to say if you'd like to buy a shirt, and we'll email you back in early December to get your size etc.
thanks to all who participate, this was fun!
Over the last couple of years, we've gotten many requests for Amptweaker T-Shirts, and really just haven't had time to do anything about it. We considered various ideas for shirts, and decided that it would be fun to get Amptweaker fans out there to make up their own t-shirt ideas, and then let everybody vote on them. So here we go:
Below are links to some simple templates to use for the t-shirt, and for now we're going to start with 1 shirt,
white ink on a black tshirt
, just to keep it simple. If we get a ton of requests for other colors, then we'll obviously add some, just like we add switches to pedals when enough people suggest it. The front of the shirt will have a small Amptweaker logo on one side, and the image you'll be designing will be for the back. Use whatever software you have, or you can even print the template and just draw or paint on it, and scan or photograph it with your phone, whatever it takes! If you don't have a way to draw white on this black image, you can download the regular white one, and we'll reverse it when it comes in.

Email your single color (no gray-scale or colors) design to the email shown above, only 1 entry per person. JPG, PNG, PDF, anything
On Nov 16, we will post the finalists, which will likely be about 4 shirt designs (depending on the participation we get)
Each person who we pick as a finalist will receive 2 free shirts made with their design,
Everybody starts voting on Nov 16 for the shirt we'll make in production. Vote only once.
On Nov 30, the one with the highest vote total will win the contest and will receive their choice of any stock Amptweaker pedal we offer
Everybody else gets to buy a cool shirt that we'll get made in time for Christmas.
Please don't design anything offensive, or use other companys' trademarked items in the design. We will also reserve the right to tweak the art some if necessary to make it work better for the screening process.

Form Protection
Do you use forms in Microsoft Word?
It sure takes a lot of time to set up the drop down lists, text form fields and whatnot to make the form just what you need, doesn't it?
Ever find that a piece of text on the form that wasn't a field intended for information input was accidentally changed?
Maybe you did it while you were using the form or maybe someone else did. Either way, it was changed and now you've got to fix the problem again.
How about a way to protect the form?
You know, leave only the fields where data should be entered available for changes.
If this sounds like a good plan to you, take a look at this quick way to protect the form you've created.
Once your form is complete, you need the Tools menu, Protect Document choice.
Select Form from the list when the Protect Document window opens.
Also, at the bottom, you should set a password. You could choose to skip this, but without a set password, any user could turn the protection off and you don't want that!
Click OK.
Confirm the password when prompted and you're all set. Only actual form fields can be altered, as long as the form is protected.
I think it's also prudent to cover how to turn the document protection off. After all, you may actually want to alter the form in the future.
To turn the protection off, go back to the Tools menu and choose Unprotect Document.
You'll be prompted for the password and after it's accepted, you're good to go with the editing of the entire form again.
Happy form protection!
~ April

I was wondering if there are any command line switches for devmgmt.msc so that I can write a batch file to enable or disable a certain piece of hardware.
My problem is whenever I use my Hamachi VPN (emulated as a network card) and leave my computer on afterwords and open up Firefox, I always get 'page not found' whenever I type in an address or go to a bookmark. I then have to open up Device Manager and disable the card and then my internet browser works as usual. Then, whenever I need to use Hamachi again, I just run devmgmt.msc again and enable the card.
I tried running 'devmgmt /?' in cmd but it just ignores the flag and runs the program. So I was wondering if there any ways to enable/disable devices using any command line program.
I have a feeling this may also be caused because I have my ethernet connection and my Hamachi VPN set as 'Home' networks.
Any help is appreciated.

I've got mpiexec 0.83 setup and working with mvapich2 across multiple nodes, but indeed ncpus and PROC limiting doesn't work across nodes, i.e. it only calculates the load of the job's processes on a single node even if it is running on multiple nodes. It would be nice if ncpus could be used across nodes, e.g.: #PBS -l nodes=2:ppn=12,ncpus=25 Which says my processes will generate no more than a load of 25. I guess I'll have to disable PROC limiting since people will be running mpich jobs across nodes.

However, well written and expertly researched articles on specialist subjects will have a good chance of selling through stock content programme.

While that number may appear low, let's say the writer has submitted 400 articles. That equals $4.00 each day, or $120.00 a month. Furthermore, some articles might make more money as opposed to runners.. You will find the sizes: Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. It is often a success when the quantity of hits your internet site registers covers the roof. SEO or Search Engine Optimization is new to me.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
For each of the following statements, come up with at least two plausible reasons why they are true. Now, come up with at least two plausible reasons why they are false. This exercise will help you to see that many issues have different sides to them.
1. Vitamins are good for you.
2. Reading makes you smart.
3. Gold is valuable.
4. Winning the lottery will make you happy.
You can repeat this exercise by using any subjective statement that you can find.
noun :: A byproduct, especially in the form of waste.
"You could see the effluvia floating by in the polluted river."
Once you have gotten someone's name, you can help yourself remember it by making it meaningful to you. To do this, you need to make the name concrete by visualizing it or finding a substitute word that can be visualized. Some names like 'Baker,' 'River,' or 'Holly' can be visualized directly. For names like 'Conroy,' 'Hargrove,' or 'Olefsky,' you can use substitute words or phrases such as 'convoy,' 'hard road,' or 'leaf sky.'
Whatever you use, be sure to get a mental picture of the name. Really see the image in your mind. This will help you remember it later. If you ever encounter a name that is too difficult to visualize, or if you just don't have enough time to make the visualization, it won't matter. Just having spent a little time trying will help because you will have focused on the name longer that you would have without using this technique.

351: Return to Childhood 2008

Seventh-grader Kayla Hernandez likes to reminisce about when she was a child, back in fifth grade. She visits her school, where her fifth grade class met, and looks at her old books, thinks about what happened there.
- Cut ThisClip and share your favorite moments
She says she knows that decades from now, she won't even remember most of what's happening to her this year, in seventh grade, and that makes her sad. This and other stories of people who try to revisit their childhoods: What they find...and what they do not find.
- A mortgage broker named David Philp discovers that his old punk band from the 1970s is hot in Japan. He decides to leave corporate life and revisit his teenage years by going back on tour, playing music for the first time in two decades. (12 minutes)

Gold Coast stewards let Lucky Hussler start in the Magic Millions Cup despite the Racing Queensland integrity officer John Hackett finding a bucket and tubing equipment with mustard-coloured residue in it on race-day. Trainer Kent Fleming was in his stable when they were visited at midday and Hackett asked to see his tubing equipment. ''When I dipped the bucket there was residue and a liquid came from the tube itself,'' Hackett said. ''So I took the bucket and tube into my possession and it has been put in an evidence bag.'' Fleming resumed training in December after serving a six-month disqualification. ''I have only been back five minutes, I'm not going to be doing anything,'' Fleming said. ''He is a bugger of a horse to handle and if I was to do him I would need three people to hold him.'' Chief steward Wade Birch told Fleming his panel could not be satisfied the horse had been treated and would allow him to start. The inquiry remains open and will be resumed once the contents of the bucket have been tested. Lucky Hussler, like all, runners was tested pre-race.
Gai Waterhouse and Denise Martin might have gone their separate ways in the sales ring but they still are tough to beat on the track. Driefontein, the Magic Millions Classic winner as a two-year-old, won the Magic Millions race for fillies and mares on Saturday. ''Gai is a wonderful trainer and a wonderful woman,'' Martin said. ''This mare has been very good for us and she just keeps winning.'' Driefontein lumped 61kg, sat outside the speed but proved too classy to the delight of Tom Berry, who punched the air after the line. ''She has been so good to me this mare,'' Berry said. ''I won a Magic Millions on her and now she has done it as a two-, three- and four-year-old.''
Whittington might head for the group 1 sprints in Melbourne after giving Gai Waterhouse and Star Thoroughbreds a winning double in breaking the Gold Coast track record in the Magic Millions Sprint on Saturday. ''He won the Breeders' Plate on debut but he has been going through a growth period, so we have given him a bit of time,'' Waterhouse said. ''He is a very good sprinter and I will get him back to Sydney and make a decision. Overreach is going towards those bigger races in Melbourne and he [Whittington] could go as well.''
Former jockey Lacey Morrison is not much of rap for her first city winner as a trainer, Anymore, after the gelding won the Magic Millions Maiden at the Gold Coast on Saturday. ''He is a bugger to have anything to do with,'' Morrison said. ''He has talent but is mad. I came here thinking he could run a place but that was great.'' Morrison had her riding career finished by a series of horrific falls, the first in 2008, and has done a cadetship as a steward. ''It took me four years to get a doctor's clearance to come back from that [fall] and then two days before I had been riding for a year I had another fall and that was it,'' Morrison said. ''I had bad head injuries and I can't ride any more.'' The richest maiden in the country attracted the leading trainers but Anymore proved too strong in race record time. Anymore gave bookmakers a result. Although he was well backed in pre-post betting, he still started $31 on course.
Tommy Berry has grown up with only one racing picture on the wall of his father Kevin winning for Ray Guy. So it was back to the future when Berry brought the Bryan Guy-trained Noisy Ocean with a late charge to win the MM Stayers Cup at the Gold Coast on Saturday. ''Maybe [a picture of] this one can go next to it,'' Berry said. ''Dad was pretty happy when I got this ride and I think that would make him happy.'' Guy remembered Berry's father being apprenticed to his father. ''This really completes the circle for the families,'' he said. Noisy Ocean overcame tracking three-wide throughout to get the better of Scorpio Queen and Dienekes in a blanket finish.
Apprentice Omer Ay went home sore but a winner after the first race in Adelaide on Saturday. The three-kilogram claimer lost his irons soon after coming out of the barriers on Barigan Boy and went to the front. He pulled the whip in the straight but was rounded up by Money Bags inside the last 200m. However, the seven-year-old raised another effort under the urging of Ay to fight back and win.

The FA Cup lived up to its reputation for shocks when Charlton Athletic - fourth in the Premier League - were beaten 3-2 by first-division Gillingham in the third round.
One of the most eagerly awaited days of the English season also featured another giant-killing performance for minor-league Telford United, who claimed their 13th Football League scalp by beating first-division Crewe Alexandra 1-0 away in Saturday' s action.
All three surviving non-league clubs will appear at least in Monday's fourth-round draw as Accrington Stanley drew 0-0 at home with second-division Colchester and Scarborough drew 1-1 at third-division Southend.
The Premier League's bottom club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, needed an 89th-minute equaliser to force a 1-1 draw at third-division neighbours Kidderminster Harriers.
Charlton, pushing for a place in Europe, were ahead in the first minute with an Ian Cox own goal but found themselves trailing 3-1 at the break after goals by Tommy Johnson, Mamady Sidibe and Paul Smith - the third a 22-metre screamer.
Gillingham, 15th in the first division, fully deserved their win but had to survive a late barrage during which Carlton Cole pulled one back for the London side.
Alan Curbishley's side may be the form team in the premiership, but even against a side without eight first-choice players and an ineligible goalkeeper, they were comprehensively swept aside by first-division neighbours who conceded the first-minute goal but hit back to record a famous and totally deserved upset.
The revival of the Kent derby, so-called even though The Valley is not strictly part of the county, generated a special air of expectancy among both sets of supporters.
Yet, in most seasons, this would not have ranked as too much of a David and Goliath contest, but given Charlton's spectacular progress in the Premier League, Curbishley's team was expected to stroll into the fourth round in what was the first meeting between the two neighbours for 23 years.
Yet this was the FA Cup, a competition that during the years has thrown up so many remarkable stories: like the one that emerged in the first half at Priestfield. With the first attack of the match, any semblance of an upset seemed to have been well and truly dashed as the luckless Cox turned Paul Konchesky's left-wing cross into his own net with 35 seconds on the clock. But what unfolded thereafter almost defied belief. Instead of pressing home their advantage, Charlton found themselves spinning out of the competition as they were hit with an onslaught.
Wolves also seemed on the way out as Kidderminster, a non-league club until 2000 and managed by former Liverpool and Denmark international Jan Molby, went ahead through veteran substitute John Williams after 77 minutes, only for Alex Rae to level at the death. "We raised our game today and we are very unlucky not to be through," said Molby, who played in four finals for Liverpool.
Conference side Telford took the honours at Crewe, where the only goal came after two minutes when much-travelled striker Lee Mills headed home Fitzroy Simpson's cross.
"I feel fantastic, it was a good performance because Crewe are a good side," Telford manager Mick Jones told Sky Sports TV. "For us to come here and win is a quite remarkable performance. We've had a roller-coaster roll in the FA Cup and it hasn't stopped yet."
In three all-Premier League clashes, Birmingham City beat Blackburn Rovers 4-0 - exacting revenge for a league defeat by the same score a month ago - Manchester City drew 2-2 with Leicester City and Newcastle United won 3-0 at last season's runners-up Southampton.
Kieron Dyer scored twice and Laurent Robert once as Newcastle recorded their first away victory over the south coast club since 1972.
Troubled Tottenham Hotspur, languishing in the Premier League's bottom three after four successive defeats, finally had something to celebrate as they thumped London rivals Crystal Palace 3-0 with a Freddie Kanoute hat-trick.
The feat gave the White Hart Lane club its first success in six matches - and the victory may yet aggravate Kanoute's increasingly public row with his employers. The France-born striker is hoping to gain clearance to play for Mali - for whom he qualifies by parentage - in the African Cup of Nations tournament later this month in Tunisia.
Tottenham - and especially caretaker-manager David Pleat - want him to stay in north London and try to help the club pull itself out of the relegation zone. "He is 26 and has his own views, but I will see what happens," Pleat said. "Nothing has happened yet which is irretrievable."
Kanoute took just 15 minutes to show his worth as he produced a crisp finish to put Spurs ahead. He added his second five minutes later after a fine run by Stephane Dalmat, with his hat-trick completed in the second half.
First-division leaders Norwich City performed well but still went down 3-1 at premiership Everton, Duncan Ferguson weighing in with two penalties.
Bolton Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce took the punt of resting many of his usual first-choice players and the stand-ins were held to a 1-1 draw at second-division Tranmere Rovers.
Four more games are scheduled for Sunday: cup holders Arsenal visit Leeds United, Aston Villa host Manchester United, Fulham play Chesterfield, while Liverpool visit famous cup fighters Yeovil.

GM Repair Problems? Ask GM Repair Expert Now.
Hello I will help you with your question,
Take a look under the right side of the dash and pull the sound panel so you can inspect the blower and blower speed control wiring for burnt/melted connections. If you don't find any you will need a 12 volt testlight or a voltmeter to check where you are losing power.
Let me know and I will guide you through the testing
I will be near a computer from about noon ET until 10 or so. Let me know what you find.
If you don't have any burnt/melted connections check the red wire for power, then the large purple. Have the key on and the blower selection on high when you do this, use a straight pin to probe into the connector so you can leave it plugged in.
Let me know what you find and we can work from there
ok I will be back with you tomorrow. Thanks
I am not sure what you mean "use a straight pin to probe into the connector so you can leave it plugged in".
maybe it will be evident when I see the connector.
Let me know what you find!
I didn't see any melting or any heat looking damage. I do sort of recall afaint odor yesterday.
I sort of wiggled the housing that the two wire harnesses plug into. The fan started back up.
So at this point I have a/c again.
I am going to click to pay but can you give me your take on what caused this to happen twice now. I kow it is speculation but if it happens again what would you suggest. What should I do next time? I undid the two scews that held the housing and checked out the sensor lookig deal. What is that called. do you think it is slowly going bad or did I just lose connectivity in the harness plug?
Thanks for your help.
I think you need to replace the blower speed controller. This is a transistor that can fail with heat and give you the symptoms you are experiencing. That is what you would be testing to see if you have power on the red wire and the controllers job is to pass that power to the purple wire of the blower motor so it is failing internally. Remove the three screws and the controller will drop out of the blower case.
Let me know how I can help you with this
Thank you
So the transistor fails and the power from the red wire does not transfer to the purple wire. But when I wiggle the blower speed controller (is this also called the resistor?) the transistor get conductivity again and works until it gets hot again at some later time and fails again. Is this what it looks like to you?
So next time it stops working I check the red wire, if it is hit I check the purple. If the red is hot and the purple is not then the controller is bad. And it looks simple to change it out.
Anything in particular to look for at that point? Thanks
You understand the problem and the repair. The only thing I have run into other than this is that the connector will get burnt/melted so be sure to inspect it closely and replace the connector if it is burnt along with the controller.
Let me know what I can do to help you

Pope Francis has appointed Msgr. Stephen Berg, a priest of the diocese of Fort Worth, Texas, to head the diocese of Pueblo, Colo.
Berg, who is 62, succeeds Bishop Fernando Isern, who resigned in June for health reasons.
The appointment was announced Wednesday in Washington by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the Vatican's nuncio to the United States.
The Texas priest is currently serving as diocesan administrator in Fort Worth and will continue in the post until Bishop-designate Michael Olson is ordained a bishop and installed to head that diocese Jan. 29.
Berg will be ordained and installed Feb. 27 by Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila at a Mass to be celebrated in Pueblo.
"My heart is filled with joy," the archbishop said in a statement about the appointment of the fifth bishop of the diocese, which covers the southern and western part of Colorado. "The church will be enriched by his enthusiastic and energetic presence, and I am sure that the faithful will appreciate his love for Colorado."
Aquila said Berg "brings with him the experience of a rich family life, a love for music and experience in both the corporate and ecclesial spheres that will serve him and the Diocese of Pueblo well."
Berg said in a statement he was "humbled and deeply moved" by Pope Francis' appointment.
"I know Colorado to be a beautiful land of beautiful people and I look forward to serving the faithful of Pueblo as their shepherd in Christ. I eagerly anticipate our future together as we grow and build our local church, he said.
He thanked the priests, deacons, religious, staff and the faithful "for their care of the diocese and love of their faith."
Bishop Michael Sheridan of Colorado Springs, Colo., has been apostolic administrator of the Pueblo diocese since Isern's resignation.
Born March 3, 1951, the oldest of 10 children, Berg is a native of Miles City, Mont. He attended Catholic elementary school and high school in Miles City, which is in the diocese of Great Falls-Billings.
He has bachelor of music degree in piano performance from the University of Colorado in Boulder and a master's degree in music from Eastern New Mexico University in Portales.
Before he became a priest, he taught music at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth. Subsequently, he worked 14 years in the retail nursery industry as vice president or general manager for divisions of Sunbelt Nursery Inc. in Fort Worth, Southern California, Phoenix and Atlanta.
In 1993, he entered Assumption Seminary in San Antonio. He received a master of divinity degree from Oblate School of Theology in 1999.
He was ordained a priest of the Fort Worth diocese in 1999 by his maternal uncle, now-retired Bishop Joseph Charron of Des Moines, Iowa.
After ordination, then-Father Berg had assignments as parochial vicar at two different parishes. From 2002 to 2008, he was pastor of four rural Texas parishes.
For the next four years, he was vicar general of the Fort Worth diocese and also pastor of St. Peter the Apostle Parish in Fort Worth. In 2012, he was named moderator of the curia and appointed parochial administrator of Holy Name of Jesus Parish, also in Fort Worth.
In December 2012, he was elected diocesan administrator by the diocesan college of consultors, after Fort Worth's bishop, Bishop Kevin Vann, was installed to head the diocese of Orange, Calif.
Olson called Berg "a good priest, a kind man, a true Christian and a wise leader."
In a statement he said the entire Fort Worth diocese was "very proud and joyful" that one of their own was appointed a bishop.
"I personally am happy for him and the Diocese of Pueblo," he said, adding that Berg's experience as pastor, vicar general and diocesan administrator "has prepared him for his new assignment."
The Pueblo diocese encompasses 48,000 square miles and has a Catholic population of approximately 64,000 out of a total population of about 667,000. The 72-year-old diocese has 53 parishes, 44 missions and four Catholic schools.

Regional Reviews: Philadelphia
The Hand of Gaul, Permanent Collection
The Hand of Gaul, Permanent Collection
The Hand of Gaul is a new comedy by Jared Michael Delaney about three Irish layabouts who become outraged when they witness one of the most controversial soccer matches of the past decade. It takes place in November 2009, when France eliminated Ireland from World Cup contention after French superstar Thierry Henry slapped down the ball to setup a goal. Henry won the game for France, but he did it by breaking soccer's "One Cardinal Rule: Do Not Touch the Ball With Your Hands" (as an onstage video projection here puts it). The referees didn't catch Henry's violation, and the results were allowed to stand. But for these three Irishmen, the loss is a blow to their national pride: "Ireland's honor is gone. Stolen from us." Their solution: hire an assassin to kill Henry. And how do you find an assassin for hire? "We Google it, of course."
The Hand of Gaul plays this all for laughs: for instance, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Irish President Mary McAleese make appearances via video, but in comically exaggerated caricatures (played by Leonard Haas and Megan Bellwoar). The three IrishmenDave (Adam Altman), Paul (Harry Smith) and Declan (played by playwright Delaney)are all buffoons; Declan is the smartest, although that's like saying Moe Howard was the smartest Stooge. And things turn even more ridiculous when the assassin shows up: he's Le Falcon (Damon Bonetti), a suave Belgian with an Inspector Clouseau accent who has his own reason to dislike Henry.
Alas, while it starts out strongly, The Hand of Gaul ends up more tiresome than funny. It's so cartoonish that it's almost weightless; it's hard to buy the trio as outraged because there's no one to care about and nothing seems at stake. Delaney's script depends on repetitive shtick: the three mates keep getting sidetracked by petty arguments, and Le Falcon keeps reacting to Henry's name by making a weird sneering/gurgling sound that gets less and less funny.
And as with Jeff Coon and Ben Dibble Must Die, last fall's fringe festival offering about actors who plot to assassinate their rivals, the laughs start drying up once the assassin appears onstage. Maybe it's time we agree that even when you couch it in an absurd premise, assassination just isn't that funny a subject. (I caught The Hand of Gaul two days after the Boston Marathon bombings, which may not have been the ideal time to see a comedy about a planned killing at a sporting event.)
Under Tom Reing's direction, the actors give suitably broad performances, and the video projections (by Janelle Kauffman) and the fight choreography (by J. Alex Cordaro) are impressive. Musicians Rosie Langabeer and Josh Machiz, who play their lively score on a wide variety of instruments (including accordion, string bass, banjo and jaw harp), are the most consistently entertaining part of the show.
The Hand of Gaul runs through April 28, 2013, and is presented by Inis Nua Theatre Company at the Off-Broad Street Theater at First Baptist Church, 1636 Sansom Street, Philadelphia. Tickets are $20 - $25 and are available by phone at 215-454-9776 or online at www.InisNuaTheatre.org.
InterAct Theatre staged the world premiere of Permanent Collection in 2003, and it's since been produced around the country. InterAct's revival reunites most of the cast of the original production, including Frank X, who's commanding as Sterling North, the embattled new director of the "Morris Foundation" (as it's called here), and Tim Moyer, who shows a wide range as a longtime staffer who turns into a crusader when he clashes with North over what should be displayed. What motivates these two men? As North says, "There's the reason given, and there's the reason." Both actors are persuasive, which helps make Permanent Collection so interesting.
Also returning are Tom McCarthy as the foundation's late founder, who observes from the shadows in (mostly) silent judgment, and Maureen Torsney-Weir as a reporter who manipulates the story and gets manipulated in return. Seth Rozin's direction is as vibrant as the art hanging on the walls of Nick Embree's set. Peter Whinnery's lighting shines spotlights on individual paintings during scene changes, which focuses the audience's attention and helps the show seem to move quickly.
The characters in Permanent Collection are smart, proud, opinionated and woundedall of which makes for excellent theatre. Even if you never followed the controversy in the press, it's hard to deny the way the play makes the story so compelling.
Permanent Collection runs through May 5, 2013, and is presented by InterAct Theatre Company at the Adrienne Theatre, 2030 Sansom Street, Philadelphia. Tickets start at $20 - $25 and are available by phone at 215-568-8079 or online at www.InterActTheatre.org.
Bet you never expected to hear those words in a production of Pinocchio. (It is a pretty dark story at timeshow many times do we need to see our innocent, gullible hero face death and get cheated out of his money?) But while Greg Banks' adaptation of the classic children's tale may seem irreverent, it takes the story seriously. And by setting the play in a theatre under construction, with a quintet of construction workers playing all the parts, the Arden Children's Theatre's dynamic Pinocchio, directed by Matthew Decker, reveals what makes all great children's stories special: the power of imagination. The equipment that the workers use for their job becomes the equipment they use to tell the story. So a mop becomes a makeshift wig, a paintbrush becomes a magic wand, a paint-spattered drop cloth becomes a gown, and stilts are used to simulate flying; put them all together, and suddenly a construction worker is transformed into Pinocchio's fairy godmother. With imagination, anything is possible.
This Pinocchio is ingenious and witty. And it's easy for kids to relate to: it teaches lessons about responsibility, how to deal with schoolyard bullies, and how to deal with the yucky medicine your mom sometimes forces you to take. The cast is versatile and engaging: David Raphaely as a wide-eyed Pinocchio (in a Phillies cap), Anthony Lawton as an affectionate Gepetto, and Doug Hara, Maggie Lakis and Brian Anthony Wilson as an ever-changing array of characters. Tom Gleeson's construction site set design looks authentic, but has hidden treasures (like the carnival lights that magically appear when Pinocchio visits Playland).
The Arden's Pinocchio is sweet, spirited, and a lot of fun.
Pinocchio runs through June 23, 2013, at the Arden Theatre Company, 40 North Second Street, Philadelphia. Ticket prices range from $16 to $36 (with group discounts available) and are available online at www.ArdenTheatre.org or by calling the box office at 215-922-1122.


text: Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 75. Monday, 4 Mar 1991. Date: Sun, 3 Mar 1991 17:23:35 -0500 From: Steve Urkowitz <SURCC@CUNYVM> Subject: 2.0073 Quarto Sources? Comment: Re: SHK 2.0073 Quarto Sources? There's a type facsimile of R&J done by R.Hubbard in the 1920s, and many libraries also have the collotype facsimiles done by various agencies in the 19th and 20th centuries. If you ask, most libraries will get or borrow the U of California Complete *Shakespeare's Plays in Quarto.* And you can xerox from that. If you can't lay hands on such, try calling for a copy on any of the major interlibrary loan services. Maybe they'll zip you a free high-quality xerox. If needed, I could likely surface-mail you one of the spares that I had prepared for various workshops and seminars. Incidentally, after a workshop on R&J with secondary school and college teachers in New Jersey, one teacher reported immense excitement about these early versions from her 5th grade middle school classes. They got hooked on what they insisted were "the real real versions" -- old spelling and all. You might want to look at my section on R&J in "Five Women Eleven Ways," in Werner Habicht, ed., IMAGES OF SHAKESPEARE (1988). Good luck, it can be a fine trip. Urk.

TV's big men fly in contest for the football
Page Tools
Life just became more complicated for the AFL, but it's good to know football is still hot property in broadcasting.
The news that it's open season in the contest for television rights lent spice to last night's AFL season launch. Intensive pre-season activity has resulted in Channel Ten, which shares current rights with Nine, changing sides to make a joint bid with Seven for the 2007-11 contract. In some quarters of the broadcast world, one can hear loud noises of the sort that greeted Ron Barassi's earth-shaking defection from Melbourne to Carlton in 1965. Forty years on, much bigger money is at stake in the battle between the big men of television, who have the egos and the will to win of elite footballers. It's not just business, it's personal - the key deal-makers, Seven's David Leckie and Ten's Nick Falloon, both fell out with Nine's owner, Kerry Packer. To add to the intrigue, Ten is one of 20 companies sued by Seven for alleged collusion in the lead-up to the last rights deal. The prospect of new media ownership laws lends urgency to the networks' fight for market share and revenue - Nine relied on pre-season football coverage to counter Seven's surge in the ratings. As Seven broadcaster and former footballer Tim Watson observes, the networks are as fierce in their rivalry as Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon. While one might idly speculate which channel best matches each club - Channel Eddie seems obvious - the networks are acutely aware that viewers won't match fans for loyalty.
Among the public, there may be some sentimental support for Seven as the home of football for more than 40 years, but there are questions about the future that supporters of football and of individual clubs will want answered before the AFL signs any deal. The AFL may have to rethink assumptions about what kind of deal is likely to replace its current contract. The $450 million question is whether the transformed negotiating landscape - has it become a buyers' market? - will affect the size of football's financial pie. It is reasonable to suppose that the current deal was the basis of AFL chief Andrew Demetriou's guarantee that all 16 clubs would survive. Although this was welcome, clubs would have known they could not rely forever on exponential growth in broadcast revenue to cover their own failures. Deals aside, a slowing economy has its own big impact.
The AFL must also be concerned about national coverage, because the conflict with Nine's rugby league commitments in NSW and Queensland means some unfortunate souls have to wait up until the early hours to get their Aussie rules fix. Those who prefer football in the daytime will note, too, that a night grand final isn't on the Seven-Ten agenda. Their plans to screen more matches free to air should similarly please fans who long to see more of teams outside the heavily supported few. Nine, though, has made a success of big matches on Friday nights and its commitment to innovation and technical excellence can be seen with every game it does screen. The AFL has a lot to weigh up - including money, obviously - to ensure it secures a deal that, as Demetriou says, "benefits our 16 clubs and the supporters of our game". That must be the bottom line.

Pantothenic acid and biotin are types of B vitamins. They are water-soluble, which means that the body can't store them. If the body can't use all of the vitamin, the extra vitamins leave the body through the urine. These vitamins must be replaced in the body every day.
Pantothenic acid; Pantethine; Vitamin B5; Vitamin B7
Pantothenic acid and biotin are needed for growth. They help the body break down and use food. This is called metabolism. They are both required for making fatty acids.
Pantothenic acid also plays a role in the production of hormones and cholesterol. It is also used in the conversion of pyruvate.
Pantothenic acid is found in foods that are good sources of B vitamins, including the following:
Biotin is found in foods that are good sources of B vitamins, including:
Pantothenic acid deficiency is very rare, but can cause a tingling feeling in the feet (paresthesia). Biotin deficiency may lead to muscle pain, dermatitis, or glossitis (swelling of the tongue).
Large doses of pantothenic acid do not cause symptoms, other than (possibly) diarrhea. There are no known toxic symptoms from biotin.
Reference Intakes
Recommendations for pantothenic acid and biotin, as well as other nutrients, are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine. DRI is a term for a set of reference intakes that are used to plan and assess the nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and gender, include:
Dietary Reference Intakes for pantothenic acid:
*Adequate Intake (AI)
Dietary Reference Intakes for biotin:
The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods.
Specific recommendations depend on age, gender, and other factors (such as pregnancy). Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding need higher amounts. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you.

The nylon 3 cell m16 30 round magazine pouches are made from high quality codura nylon. Olive drab in color, these mag bags can take alot of abuse and last a lifetime. In the early days of vietnam, these were made of heavy canvas and when they got wet, the canvas would weigh down the fighter. Around 1967 the military started experimenting with nylon to lighten the load and still give the strength needed to last in battle. Although the nylon is not as quiet as the canvas, it is far superior for damp environments. This pouch also features the grenade carriers located on each side of the pouch, just in case you have some grenades that you want to carry. This m16 mag pouch has changed several times over the years and eventually were redesigned with molle fasteners like all of the other equipment currently used by our military and tactical units. This particular ALICE style is still highly requested from many of our veteran customers familiar with the original "782" fighting load gear used form 1967 up though around 2000.

I just dont want to be here anymore
March 6th, 2013by drewby92
My name is drew, i am 20 years old, and currently residing in a "suck you under" little town in texas. I grew up a happy child, played sports and had lots of friends. But were did it all go wrong? why do i have no friends? no family? no life? why is waking up a day to day challenge? i guess you could say im to chicken shit to kill myself. but the thought has passed my mind alot more than it should. i wish i could just leave this world behind….and no one would remember me. i see my life and friends passing me by. As they go off to college to have many friends and be successful. But what am i doing? Im still stuck in this small shit hole town, going my day to day life not wanting to leave my house, because the only time i am comfortable is in my own room. I have just lost the will to live, or do anything anymore. I used to have it all, but now i feel like im going through a mid life crisis at age 20…my mother is a good for nothing pill head, who has attepted suicide already, and threatens me again and again that she will a second time. My dad is a stubborn alcoholic, who thinks money is the only thing in this life. All my "friends" are sellouts. Would throw me under the bus to get ahead.
I feel so ashamed to be rambling to you people on a suicide forum, pretty sad right? But who else do i have to talk to? lol I am just sick and tired and being sick and tired. I hate the feeling of accepting loneliness. I hate myself. I hate the things ive done to people. The girls ive fucked over, the friends ive fought with, the way ive treated my family. Maybe this is all self imposed, like i deserve it all. I deserve to be unhappy for the rest of my life. I just wish i could be happy again, i could stand being alone if i was just happy. Im so miserable and ashamed of myself. All i want in life is for everyone to be happy….and i feel like me never being born would fix everything. I wish god or whoever is of higher power, would strike me down as im writing this to you all. No one should have to go through life like this, wanting to not live. I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy. i wish the best to all of you, i hope you eventually find what in life your looking for to make you want to stay.

does nasal drip reappear in your poop?
Anne asks:
I have had horrible post nasal drip for a few months now, which I swallow all day. My doc says it is due to allergies. I noticed some mucus after I wiped myself after a bowel movement. Is it possible to swallow mucus and see it when you poop?
Dear Anne,
The average person's upper respiratory system produces about 2 quarts of mucus a day. Most of this mucus is swallowed. The moisture content is usually absorbed by the intestines during digestion and therefore is not seen as the slimy substance it starts out once what is left of it finally exits the body.
Post nasal drip refers to the increased volume or thickness of the secretions that are accumulating in the back of the throat. It is possible that there is so much excess snot that it is not being absorbed in the intestines and does appear unchanged in the poop.
The intestines also secrete mucus, and more commonly will be the source of snotty-looking poo. Irritation of the lining of any of these mucosal membranes can cause an increase in the production of mucus, and can result in it being visible in the poop.
Thanks for asking Motherload!
Motherload is a Certified Nurse Assistant as well as an IBS sufferer, which means she knows a lot about poop. Got a question for her? Ask it here.
19 Comments on "does nasal drip reappear in your poop?"
I have noticed that after having a bad cold and swallowing the mucous that my poop is white for a while. It is not snotty, just white.
The butt snot thing seems to happen at any time, even without a cold. I have noticed, in me at least, that the biggest cause of this is eating something that irritates my digesting system, such as fatty, greasy, disgusting foods. It usually follows heartburn.
I was a category five! Category five, I tell you! Get it right or I'll be back to PROVE IT!!!!- Katrina
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
I have never noticed white or whiteish poop, but I have noticed a slimy or mucus type of poop every once in a while. Generally it relates to what I eat.
The wierdest thing that I've noticed is that if I eat something really fatty I will see bits of unprocessed fat in my poop.
Number One . . . I order you to take a number two.
Number One . . . I order you to take a number two.
I notice citreine or white colored mucous in my poop after a cold. I usually rectify this with lotes of chili peppers, Moxie, juice, and copious amounts of water. Other than that, I rarely have snotty poop.
It's not nice to fool mother nature.
"Two percent of the population think; three percent of the population think they think, and 95 percent of the population would rather die than think."
I can say I've experienced this same phenomenon of snotty poop. Not always, but definitely when I've been producing too much snot. I try not to swallow any of it b/c the idea of swallowing snot is just too icky for this gal, but I supposed enough makes its way to my bowels to make an appearance on the way out. Ew! Frickin ew! But, it happens. Ew!
Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!
Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!
White stripes on the poop? Like a candy cane? Cool. So if I get a cold and drink gallons of purple Kool-Aid I could hypothetically make green and white swirled poop.
I've also read that people that have parasites in their intestines will sometimes have excess mucus in their bowel movements, OR (guys cover your eyes) if you're wiping from front to back like we girls are suppose to you may be getting some of the vaginal mucus on the TP. Just a thought.
When my nose is kind of runny
I think it's kind of funny
That when sitting on the dunny
My poop feels like a tunny
I think it's anal mucus, but itsnot!

Dungdaddy, your 'streaks' comment made me think of bride of frankenstein, poo instead of hair and white, thunderbolt shaped mucus streaks down the sides.
A few years ago I noticed that I had red streaks in my stool and I couldn't figure out why. This continued for months and it started to hurt more and more everyday. I pain eventually went away and i noticed the red streaks were going away and were getting less aparent. It began to go away around the same time my wife and I decided to stop using power tools in the bedroom.
Thanks for sharing, Chunks. A drill or rotary tool up your butt would definitely leave their bloody mark on your poo. Next time you notice something unusual with your poo, remember what you've shoved up there and think about whether it could have caused those changes. Consider going to a doctor, ass well.
It goes without saying that you're a sick turd.
I have mucus on my poop too and i was told that it could be something irritating my stomach. how would i be able to find out what is making me have a snotty pot? p.s. Its been over 7 months that i have speratically had a snotty pot.
What I am finding out with this "snot in poo", thing is that is can be caused by you disturbing your Good bacteria in your intestinal trac! You did hear me right you have good bactieria that you need and my 1 year old is haveing problems now that he is on all this table food! He will be 2 in a couple of months and I hope this get figured out quick!!!! It is worse with different food and last week the Doc's put him on an antibyodic, was that ever a mistake it made everything at least twice as bad! So be carfull all you out there with problems like this and I should tell you I don't believe in IBS look into the history of it. What a croc!!! C-
I had a snotty poo too.
didn't know what to doo doo.
could it be a std?
couldn't be; monogamy.
typed it in, directed here,
i don't snot poo alone, it's clear.
i'm so relieved i'll crack a beer.
Right now I have a horrible cold, and I think I've swallowed about a gallon of snot already. You'd think with all that extra lubrication I'd be shitting up a storm, but the opposite has happened, and I'm now bound up.
Strange how the system works.
My wife eats Fruit Loops in an odd way, she chooses one color and eats them all & then moves on to the next color until they are gone, and so on and so forth, then drinks the milk.(She even has told me the colors pick the order not her...I KNOW...CRAZY!!!) I have watched this OCD event occur on many occasions so often so it would seem she lives on Fruit Loops. I often wonder when she Poops does it look like Dr. Seuss just left the real Thing 2 in our excrement recieving receptacle. Just a thought...
i'll need to do more probing thru the fecalnet to find an answer that satisfies my question butt since I am here:
i am currently awallowing snaught, from a lil ol' weather change-type irritation/congestion type dilly, and am also using cough-drops (natural herbal type and everyso often the hawls brand) to keep my sore throat from becoming dry and worsening my whole life; anyone suggest a type of food i can eat in conjunction with my menthol and sugar snaught concoxtion(sp?) that will alleviate the sickly runny poops that are sure to rectum, i mean wreck me?
wait, this thread is kinda old, so dont mind replying, i just wanted to be on a page that mentions poop. thanks!!!
I eat my boogers a lot and I have been seeing yellow snot stuff on the Toilet paper after I poop and wipe myself. It happens every couple days. I do have abdominal bloating though and it started on like august 15.
Dear Anonymous,
What a conundrum but one that can be easily solved. Put some of those boogers into a close friends oatmeal where they will blend right in and will be eaten unnoticed. After a few days of booger eating tell this friend that as a gesture of your devotion to him/her you would like to wipe their ass for them. After wiping just examine the paper closely and you will have your answer.
Glad I could be of service

PJ's For A Peanut
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
After celebrating the news that I would be expecting a daughter for our family, I began to search for a knitting pattern to serve as a coming home outfit for her from the hospital. Countless daydreams later, I decided I wanted a set of pajamas with a zipper along the center and something decorative on the front. Weeks of pattern searching proved fruitless, so I bravely sought to design my own. This outfit sports a zipper running from heel to neck, cables on the front, and a snapping cover for the head of the zipper. As a knitter, I loathe sewing and prefer projects to be as seamless as possible, so the construction of this garment is toe up, with Kitchener Stitch used as much as possible to avoid sewing pieces together.

The two types of dispersants British Petroleum is using to clean up the Gulf oil spill are approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency but banned in the United Kingdom, ProPublica reports.
EPA data suggest these products, from the Corexit line of dispersants, are more toxic and less effective in handling southern Louisiana crude than those made by competitors, Greenwire reports. Dispersants work by breaking oil into droplets.
ProPublica learned of the U.K. ban from Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., who told the New York Times that the ban occurred because of "harmful effects" on sea life.
"The release of hundreds of thousands of gallons of chemicals into the Gulf of Mexico could be an unprecedented, large and aggressive experiment on our oceans," Markey, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment, told the Times. "The information regarding the chemical composition, efficacy and toxicity of the dispersants currently being used is scarce." Read Markey's letter to the EPA, here.
ProPublica reported earlier that a compound in Corexit has been linked to headaches, vomiting and reproductive problems at high doses.
BP spokesman Jon Pack said Corexit was "pretty effective" and "rigorously tested," according to Greenwire.
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson told a Senate panel that EPA is working with BP to get less toxic dispersants to the site as quickly as possible, reports Kate Sheppard of Mother Jones.

>Technical Support>Feature request: Default equipment
Not dead. Yet.
I currently have one pair of shoes that I use for all of my runs, but each time I load a workout, I have to manually choose the shoes in the equipment dropdown. Not a big deal at all, but it would be nice if I could choose a set of shoes as default for an activity. So each time I upload an activity, it's set automagically and I don't have to go in and manually add them.
That's enough for me, but I imagine others have one set for racing, and maybe another set for trails, etc. So if you wanted to go even further, you could have one overarching activity (running) default, and then another optional default for each activity type (trails, race) that would override the main default when set.
How can we know our limits if we don't test them?
oops. Sorry I missed the right forum. I see it for next time.

Peep Show
Updated: May 2, 2003, 7:54 AM ET
Minnesota Timberwolves: Kevin Garnett just wants everyone to know that Minnesota lost a game last night. Not a series."We've got all the confidence in the world," he said to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "We won in Staples [Center] before. I hope they don't think this is over because we're coming." Teammate Wally Szczerbiak agreed. "They're pretty good," he said of the Lakers. "If you don't play well, anybody can beat you. We just have to take this butt-kicking and bounce back. We have to forget about it. We're not dead in the water. Everybody probably will count us out, but we believe in this locker room." Milwaukee Bucks: Sam Cassell wants everyone to know that Milwaukee feels the same way about their series with New Jersey. "I plan on coming back," he said in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "We understand what we have to do. It's nothing drastic. We missed a load of opportunities, myself included. We were down one and we brought the ball up and I missed a jumper. Shots we don't miss went out for us. We had opportunities." He wasn't done yet. "We've been here before and now we're going home," said Cassell. "It will be a heck of a game but they have the advantage. They need one to close it out, but all my years of playing this game, the hardest thing to do is to close out a series. We didn't lose and confidence. We're fine. We've been here before so we welcome the challenge." Detroit Pistons: Ben Wallace, on the other hand, isn't so sure about his team. "I'm not going to get into who," Wallace said in the Detroit Free Press about chastising teammates who may have given up already in their series with Orlando. "There are some sensitive ears around here. I kept to myself and tried not to get involved with a lot of people. I know my emotions were running high. I probably wasn't one of the nicest guys you wanted to be around at the time. That's the way I was feeling. There's nothing scripted about the way I feel or the things I do on the floor. It's just me. I'm definitely still a great father and husband, but when you come to work that's something different. That's the place where you can relieve your stress and tension and throw the ball up against the wall. But I'm still a nice person."

Ever-increasing energy bills may be hitting consumers, but for investors some of that pain could be turned into gains by buying into energy stocks – and not only the household names that initially spring to mind.
The standout performers in recent times have been the companies that own the transmission and distribution networks that deliver electricity and gas to homes and businesses. Many of them have their tariffs controlled by national and state regulators, with changes made only every five years, providing the comfort of stability in an otherwise uncertain business environment.
These companies, including
Even as households are charged more for environmental costs – mostly renewable energy and carbon emissions – network and grid owners have increased their overall share of total energy supply costs for consumers.
UBS says networks' share of the consumer electricity bill is now 58 per cent, up from 37 per cent in 1999, as they plough investment into poles and wires to renew ageing systems and augment capacity to cope with ever-rising peak demand.
But the investment has also contributed to spiralling power bills, attracting unwanted attention across the political landscape, reaching as high as Prime Minister
As a result, numerous inquiries and reviews are under way into the drivers of power price increases in general, while regulators at the state and national level are under pressure to limit price rises.
That means the healthy performance of the regulated utility sector over the past 12 to 18 months is threatened by increasing regulatory and political risk.
"The network companies have had it pretty good, but the pendulum is going to start to swing back and the question is how fast and how far up the other side it goes," says Geoff Frankish of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.
"The yields do look pretty good, but partly because their relative performance has been pretty solid over the past 12 months or so, there's been a flight to yield and they are starting to look a bit more expensive in terms of valuations."
This past week the gas distributors in Victoria – specifically Envestra and Multinet (part of Duet) – were the subject of the latest toughening-up in the regulatory climate, when the Australian Energy Regulator rejected their proposed tariff increases for 2013-17.
But UBS still calculates that Envestra, which owns gas distribution networks in Victoria, offers a total return – including distribution yield and growth – of about 20 per cent over the next four years, helped by an expected upgrade in its credit rating.
It also classifies Spark,
Frankish says investments in toll roads are a decent offset to some of the risks building in the regulated utilities space, but says it's not an absolute question of one or the other. "It's a matter of adjusting your weight as we become more or less comfortable with some of the risks," he says.
Integrated utilities Origin and AGL, whose operations include energy generation as well as retailing, have given investors something of a rocky ride this year.
Origin, a traditional outperformer in terms of growth in shareholder value, has seen its share price slide about 15 per cent this year as investors look past the 50 per cent-plus growth in underlying profit over the past two years to the flat growth forecast for this financial year.
AGL has come back from its surge early this year on the back of its $488 million buyout of its partners in the Loy Yang A power plant in Victoria.
Merrill Lynch cites regulatory risk as the main challenge for both companies in the near term, pointing in particular to pending decisions on regulated tariffs in NSW which could erode returns for the companies' mass market businesses the way an earlier decision has done in Queensland.
The key debate is a technical one, about the way the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) will determine the companies' cost of energy, a major component of its regulated retail tariff. But it will have a significant impact on earnings, with Merrill Lynch warning its estimates of Origin's 2014 earnings could be cut by 10 per cent and AGL's by 7 per cent should IPART follow the Queensland Competition Authority's lead.
AGL still ranks among Deutsche Bank's selection of stocks that offer yield and defensiveness but have not run as hard as some others.
Investors who were keen to see another integrated energy supplier come onto the market in the form of TRUenergy will have to wait a while after its Hong Kong parent CLP deferred a potential $3 billion-plus initial public offering originally targeted for November. The business may reappear as a float candidate next year. On the renewable energy front, while households are forking out to support the national target to secure 20 per cent of electricity from sources such as wind and solar power by 2020, investors might want to remain cautious.
Pure-play renewable energy producers, such as
Earlier-stage renewable energy hopefuls such as
"There will come a time – because we are relying on finite non-renewable resources for our energy currently and we are at peak oil as we speak – when some of those technologies will come into their own. But so far they have been graveyards for investors," says Peter Strachan at StockAnalysis.
"It doesn't mean they are not good technologies, or that they won't have their day in the sun, but from a financial point of view and looking over the next two to three years I can't see that you are going to make money."
"You need a bit of diversification to be able to spread some of these risks, rather than be a stand-alone," Frankish says.

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Team of Active Retirees has taken over the El Dorado Hills sheriff's substation to assist the public with crime reporting, offer crime prevention tips and answer questions.
"Deputies would use (the office) from time to time but it was never a point of contact for the community," Sheriff John D'Agostini said of the substation that opened about a year ago in Town Center. "That's what it should be. That's what it will be."
A STAR will be on duty from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The office, located at 4354 Town Center Blvd., Suite 112, will be closed on weekends and major holidays.
D'Agostini said he's grateful for these volunteers, who last year contributed 37,000 volunteer hours to the Sheriff's Department, assisting in everything from deputy training to special events. Budget cuts have forced the Sheriff's Department to shrink from more than 400 paid employees a few years ago to now less than 350, according to D'Agostini, who said he sees "no light at the end of the tunnel" when it comes to budget matters. The STARs pick up some of the work, like staffing the El Dorado Hills substation.
"If it wasn't for the STARs we couldn't do it," D'Agostini said.

Pat Summitt at NASCAR race: 'I feel great'
BRISTOL, Tenn. – Pat Summitt won't be a head basketball coach for the first time in 38 years this season, but she enjoyed a special home game Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway.
With Knoxville native Trevor Bayne on the pole position in an orange Ford bearing a "We Back Pat" slogan, Summitt delivered the command to start engines as the grand marshal of the Food City 250.
Asked if she was expecting cheers from Bristol's 160,000-seat grandstands that would surpass a Tennessee women's basketball home game, she said, "They better!" with a laugh.
"I will do, 'Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines,' " she said, referring to a 43-car field that included Danica Patrick and Johanna Long. "It'll be at high volume when I get there."
Summitt, who won more games (1,098) than any college basketball coach in history, met before the race with Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Patrick, who told Summitt she would have liked to have played for her with the Lady Vols.
"She's super," Summitt said of Patrick.
Attending her first NASCAR race at Bristol ("It's pretty massive," she said) was indicative of Summitt's life beyond the basketball court. Bayne's Yourracecar.com-sponsored No. 60 was designed to support the Pat Summitt Foundation, which was formed in November for awareness, advocacy and research of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Summitt, 60, stepped down from her position to focus on battling early on-set dementia.
Summitt remains the head women's basketball coach emeritus at Tennessee, helping head coach Holly Warlick with recruiting and serving as a mentor. She said she probably would go on road trips with the team but not necessarily all the time.
"I can go to practice anytime I want, go to games and travel if I want," Summitt said. "But when I don't want to travel, I'll stay home. So I'm at a good place with it. If I don't want to go, I don't have to go. Holly is the head coach now, and I'm going to be there to support her. So I'm looking forward to it. I've got good options. I like that. I feel great.
"We've got some young players coming in, so I'll be around."
Danielle Donehew, a co-founder of the Pat Summitt Foundation, said Bristol and NASCAR provided an excellent platform for the nonprofit organization. "It's an enormous audience and covered by ESPN, and it'll be wonderful for the nation to be able to see that," Donehew said.
Summitt struck an instant bond with Bayne when his car was unveiled last month at Thompson-Boling Arena, though she said she struggled to climb inside the cockpit.
"My butt's too big," Summitt said with a laugh. "I couldn't believe how tight it was."

Watch Brian Williams Report on Daughter Allison's 'Peter Pan' Casting News
Brian Williams has many roles: news reporter, father and occasional rapper, to name a few.
So of course I was a little disappointed to learn that during last night's NBC Nightly News broadcast, when he reported on his daughter Allison Williams' Peter Pan casting news, no rapping was involved.
Still, the clip of papa bear quoting "family members" and their reaction is one worth watching.
Check out the report, above.
