In his relatively short tenure as the Oakland Athletics' general manager, Billy Beane had never held such power in his hands. ''I can blow this whole thing apart,'' he told colleagues in recent days.
But Beane was only joking. He had to supply the last piece of the puzzle today, and he was not going to withhold it. He agreed to trade Jimmy Haynes to the Milwaukee Brewers, and the first four-team trade in 14 years was complete.
With Beane playing the most crucial though least significant role in terms of the player he included and the one he got back, the Brewers, the Colorado Rockies, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Athletics sent nine players and $1.05 million in various helter-skelter directions.
The most direct part of the unusual and intricate transaction had the Rockies trading Vinny Castilla, their good-hitting third baseman, to the Devil Rays for Rolando Arrojo, a pitcher, and Aaron Ledesma, a utility infielder. The Rockies also sent Jamey Wright, a young starting pitcher, and Henry Blanco, a defensive catcher, to the Brewers for Jeff Cirillo, a .300-hitting third baseman, and Scott Karl, a left-handed pitcher.
To secure Haynes as a second starting pitcher the Brewers wanted, the Rockies gave the Athletics a minor league pitcher, Justin Miller.Continue reading the main story
Dan O'Dowd, the Rockies' new general manager, who hit the ground trading, was the driving force behind the four-team transaction, and officials of other teams generally credited him with gaining the most from the deal. Cirillo, whose .326 batting average was fifth best in the National League last season, and Castilla, who in the past five seasons has batted better than .300 four times and averaged 38 home runs and 112 runs batted in, were the best-known names in the bunch.
The Devil Rays, who seldom have made trades in their two-year existence, acquired Castilla to bolster one of the American League's weakest offenses. Later in the day the Devil Rays added to their lineup, signing Greg Vaughn, a home run hitting free agent, to a four-year, $34 million contract.
Castilla and Vaughn, who hit 95 home runs the past two seasons, join Fred McGriff and Jose Canseco in the middle of the Tampa Bay lineup. Cirillo will become the cleanup hitter in a Colorado lineup that O'Dowd has overhauled in an attempt to make it a multidimensional threat. The general manager previously traded Dante Bichette, another of the Rockies' sluggers, to Cincinnati.
''Quite frankly,'' Dean Taylor, the Milwaukee general manager, said, ''Dan and I have been working on the basic structure of this deal for the better part of six weeks. As we satisfied each other and expanded the deal to make it work, everyone worked hard to get it done.''
O'Dowd said the deal began as a three-team trade involving the Rockies, the Brewers and the St. Louis Cardinals. But that one fell apart.
''Tampa Bay had specific interest in Castilla,'' O'Dowd said. ''We knew we had to come up with two pitchers for Milwaukee. We didn't want to trade the second pitcher ourselves because it would eliminate the depth that we had worked so hard to acquire with the Darryl Kile deal.''
O'Dowd engineered the final piece after Taylor gave him a list of five pitchers the Brewers would consider as the second starter they wanted. ''Four were unrealistic,'' O'Dowd said without identifying them. Haynes was the fifth.
''When I got the list, we had done our due diligence,'' O'Dowd said. ''We knew what pitching was available and not available in the industry. When I got the list, I had already talked to those clubs. I waited a little bit because I knew Billy was exploring other options. I didn't want to get into paying that price yet. I wanted to wait for these meetings. I also didn't want to jump into something until I knew the other two pieces of the puzzle were solidly in place. Oakland was the last piece.''
Beane, O'Dowd said, ''really could have done some damage.'' But he was not about to.
''Relationships are part of making deals,'' Beane said. ''I'm very close to Danny. It's not a part of a favor bank, but we weren't going to sit there and blow this entire deal apart just because we were pig-headed.''
Anyway, he added, he had planned to trade Haynes somewhere this off-season.
''It's a great deal,'' Beane said. ''It was a fun deal to watch even being somewhat on the periphery. The good thing about being part of it was knowing what was going on.''
The last time four teams joined in one trade was on Jan. 18, 1985. On that day the Brewers traded catcher Jim Sundberg to Kansas City for catcher Don Slaught and pitcher Frank Wills. Then the Brewers sent Wills to the Mets for pitcher Tim Leary and Slaught to Texas for pitcher Danny Darwin and a player to be named, who later became Bill Hance, a catcher, who never reached the major leagues.Continue reading the main story

WRITING MYSELF BACK TO LIFE By Nancy G. Shapiro Summer 2002, Spirituality & Health magazine
All my life I circled around the written word, mostly as a reader. I remember summer vacations filled with visits to the public library. My mother, sister, and I left each week with tottering piles of books that we read voraciously over the next seven days, and always we returned for more. I wrote some poetry in grade school and high school. Later I started scribbling on the backs of envelopes and on napkins. After my son's birth in 1984, when odd thoughts and incomplete phrases came to me, I wrote them down and threw them in a file folder labeled "Personal." I started reading all the how-to-write books I could find: Natalie Goldberg, Brenda Ueland, Dorothea Brande, Anne Lamott. On the twenty-second anniversary of my father's death, I had a disturbing, vivid dream. I wrote a poem, my first in many years, to capture the images and emotions unleashed during the night. It, too, joined the other scraps of paper.
Then I moved to Mexico. New love was the instigator of change (yes, Barry's my husband now). I'd sold my car, my furniture. Other necessities and treasures went into storage — a surprisingly meager pile, but the file came with me, in a cardboard box. And there in Mexico, writing found me. I'd left someone behind, too: my son, Ben. His dad and I agreed to switch roles; he'd be the "main" parent while Ben finished the school year. I'd be the "long-distance" parent. The plan was for Ben to come to Mexico for at least the next school year, to learn Spanish and to experience another culture. It all sounded fine, until the day I gave him a birthday party at the local skating rink. He was eleven. I was forty-two. Watching Ben skate with his friends, eat pizza and cake, and open his presents, I wanted time to stop, or better yet, to reverse. I suddenly wanted to undo everything I'd done in the last couple of months. But it was too late. While Barry drove me out of the driveway, I waved to Ben, too numb to cry. On the drive down, on Christmas night near the west coast Mexican town of Culiacan, Barry and I were kidnapped by four armed bandits. They drove us to a pitch-black clearing between cornfields and pillaged our truck until they noticed that their lookout had disappeared, and suddenly they fled. Gone was the cash from my moving sales, Barry's professional camera equipment, our Christmas presents and CDs. Frightened beyond description but physically unharmed, we picked up our remaining possessions out of the gritty dirt, threw them back into the Bronco, and sped off into the night. I'd left my son, job, community, and life as I'd known it for more than seventeen years, and there I was, a gringa, in a new culture, robbed and scared. Welcome to Mexico!
The Gift of Time
But I also felt the gods were watching over us — laughing, too. I was no longer a single working mother. I had time, and the creative history of San Miguel flowing all around me. At last I began to write. The first words were an article about the robbery for the local English-language newspaper, words of warning. After it was published, strangers came up and thanked me for the reminder not to drive at night, to be careful about the drug-infested west coast of Mexico, to remain alert after common sense about travel had become soft and complacent. By writing about it, I discovered how I was experiencing the aftershock of the robbery. It showed itself as extreme nervousness when I walked by a group of Mexican men. That anxiety, a hot deep rumbling in the pit of my stomach, lasted for more than six months. But I was calmer after the article was finished; I slept better, without bad dreams. The sense of being violated, common after being robbed, diminished until it disappeared. That experience encouraged me to keep writing. I wrote poems about the difficulties and joys of a new relationship. I made a halting start at a personal essay about being a long-distance mother. I wrote more poems about myriad subjects, including my father, a topic I'd avoided for years. That first year I didn't understand my sudden, almost constant urge to write. Now I know I was saving my own life. Flannery O'Connor wrote, "I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I say." This truth rings bright and clear in my mind. Like O'Connor, I didn't know what I thought until I literally read what I wrote. The poems that poured out of me those first two years in Mexico were emotional purges. Poetry's form and rhythm enabled the words to appear, words I had swallowed, hidden, forgotten, never known I possessed.
Some words have survived that anguished beginning-writer stage to become good poems, ones that touch other people, ones I can read in public. I wrote many using the lines and phrases collected on the tidbits of paper in my "Personal" file. The urge to share what I was learning led to the creation of a writing workshop. I was constantly amazed at others' breakthroughs as they, too, wrote down the lost words, the vulnerable strength they unleashed in their poems.
Breaking the Silence
One of the poems I wrote during that time was about my father's suicide. He was thirty-nine. I was nineteen, my sister sixteen. Our family came from a legacy of silence. We buried my father and for more than twenty years there were no discussions about that day. He was gone. We went on with our lives. But I shared the poem with my sister and mother, and a crack opened in the wall of silence. We tentatively talked, asked a few scary questions. My mother wrote me a twelve-page letter that filled in some of the blanks. With each poem I wrote about my father, I discovered a new consequence of his sudden, violent disappearance from my life. My false bravado. My intense, often suppressed anger. My fear of inheriting his melancholy, and passing it on to Ben. I felt sadness and loss that seemed endless. I saw that my own wall of silence was a defense, a maladjusted comfort zone. I unearthed a faint beginning of understanding for my father. The insights poured into my consciousness as I recorded the images on paper, on the computer screen after midnight when I couldn't sleep. …only now chipping away what was his in order that what is mine can breathe and tremble not with fear…
Then, after a year of thinking that the writing and therapy had healed this long-festering wound, rage overtook me one afternoon as I stood at my kitchen sink. Its intensity scared me. I went back into therapy. And I kept writing. I made a file on my iBook's desktop called iWork. Into it I dragged poems, pages of stream-of-consciousness writing, single paragraphs containing thoughts I didn't want to forget, emails to my sister, letters never sent, more poems. And finally I wrote the poem that withstood the white-water current of rage, that allowed me to ride out my father's death and finally say, "It's over." I named it "The Remaining Ones."
…in that cold dark place of children slung against the wall of the world…
I wrote of the isolation I'd fallen into after his death, which kept me apart from others and from myself. Identifying it, naming it, showing its underbelly, was one of those radiant moments of understanding that change the course of a life. Suddenly I knew that anything hinting at isolation was not healthy. My well-being depended on action, involvement, pursuing my dreams.
Nine Drafts to the Truth
Sometimes poetry didn't work; the words wanted to take another form. As for writing about leaving my son in California, the six months that turned into almost six years, it took nine drafts of a personal essay and five drafts of a short story to get to the truth. The truth? Yes. That is what I believe is the magic of writing, what makes it a healing art — when we know ourselves with such intimacy and candor, we may flinch, but we do not run. It was in one of my darkest moments, deep in the ninth draft that I wrote: "Would I choose differently today? I honestly don't know. The time in Mexico gave me the invaluable gift of coming into my own, something I don't feel I could have done in my cozy little hometown. I am learning to not punish myself for missing Ben. When my heart aches with his absence, I know it's normal to miss a child. Wanting to hold him doesn't make me a bad mother, though that is how I see myself half the time… I have learned to trust what he tells me, that it's okay not being there doing what he cynically calls 'mom' things, it's okay to trust his smile and his openness, his own truths.
Because of the passage of time, divorce, or unforeseen tugs of fate, we find ourselves releasing to the world that singular bliss (and sometime battlefield) called raising a child. Despite the mammoth urge to hold on. Despite the pain. We let go for the child's sake. I just never knew it would happen so soon."
After the words had been put down — my humanness in all its paradoxical rawness — a knowing settled into my cells; both Ben and I were better people for that seemingly rash and crazy decision long ago. I knew this from the writing, and from talking with Ben. Talking — that was another benefit of this journey of the written word. I could verbally express myself after years of mumbling, of incomplete sentences, of fearful silences. After identifying isolation as my biggest stumbling block, I saw it as a gift, too. I'd entered Mexico empty and in pieces, and writing became my sustenance, the glue of my wholeness. True, Mexico no longer fit into the equation. Being a long-distance mom didn't fit, either. So I moved back to California in another huge transition, with the itch to continue writing, and gain understanding.
The Courage to Be Free
Chicano poet Jimmy Santiago Baca, who suffered a life of poverty, abuse, and crime, writes in his latest book, A Place to Stand, of his wondrous transformation through writing: "Everything [in the prison] had weight and substance, intended to silence, imprison, destroy. Yet somehow I had transmuted the barbwire thorns' hostile glint into a linguistic light that illuminated a new me. In a very real way, words had broken through the walls and set me free." I believe that we all have some version of prison that keeps us from realizing our full humanity. Fear is often the foundation of those walls, courage the wrecking ball that brings them down. The word courage comes from the French coeur, and I've heard it defined as not the absence of fear, but rather fear plus action. Committing words to paper takes courage, whether in a private journal, some shared poems, a published novel, or a memoir tucked into a drawer. Through writing, we break down the walls, move into unknown territory, and meet ourselves face to face. We recover lost faith in ourselves, a voice that we've long forgotten. We view the world through new eyes, connected to a healthier body, a clearer, more objective mind, a larger sense of compassion. The sense of freedom is immense. And beyond all that, we can share this truth with those we love, just as I shared this article with Ben. He said, "Mom, what does coeur mean?" And I said, "Oops. It means heart. I'll have to add that in."
The following two sections were sidebars in the original article:
Paying Attention to Your Life
Writing, especially through hard times, is notoriously difficult work, but what many don't understand is that not writing can add up to even harder work. Heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and other physiological measures all increase when we act as though everything were fine. Over time, such stress leaves us more susceptible to illness. Meanwhile, those repressed thoughts and feelings surface anyway, through dreams, sleep disturbances, and other signs of anxiety. In cases of traumatic emotional events, inhibition can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder and even multiple-personality disorder.
Fascinated by the effects of the "holding-back/letting-go continuum" on people's physical health, James W. Pennebaker, Ph.D., and his colleagues at Southern Methodist University conducted controlled clinical studies. Over the years, they've discovered that expressing emotions through writing turns out to be especially healing, as the action of putting words on paper forces us to organize and structure our thoughts. Without that organization, our minds can resemble clothes dryers with a dozen pairs of tennis shoes banging around inside.
Writing can bring focus and a healthy change of perspective to confusing thoughts and experiences. Writing, unlike talking, is also generally done alone and in a private space, which can lessen inhibition. While writing doesn't provide the benefit of immediate feedback from friends, writing can be shared — later, with the luxury of choosing when and with whom.
Yet not all writing is necessarily healing. Recording just the event, or just the emotions, does not seem to benefit health. For the act of writing to make us healthier, we must write about the event and all the feelings associated with that event. For example, describe that school picnic in third grade, and include the feelings of (shame, joy, anger) that colored the day. Include how you feel about the situation now, however many years later. (Note: We can inhibit "good" feelings as strongly as those we consider "bad.")
This type of writing can make us smarter, too. Says Pennebaker, it supports "high-level thinking characterized by a broad perspective, self-reflection, and the awareness of emotion." If we don't delve into a dynamic combination of event plus emotion, we tend to stay in a superficial, or what Pennebaker calls a "low-level," thinking mode. So next time you have the urge to scribble out a thought, go ahead. Think of it as giving your overworked brain a relaxing walk in the fresh air.
Rx for Healing and Higher Intelligence
It takes time to write, and patience, and a certain chutzpah to face a blank piece of paper. Sometimes it's even painful. But like most worthwhile things, with a few tips, some encouragement, and that first time under your belt, it gets better. You may even begin to enjoy yourself. Here are some tips to guide and inspire.
• Give yourself some quiet time in which to write. Unplug the phone. Close the door. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Exhale. If you can't find the quiet, write, as author Julia Cameron says, in the "cracks and crevices of your life." Even then (especially then), remember to breathe.
• Write down the first ten words that come to mind, as quickly as possible. Do not second-guess yourself; don't listen to your "critic." Use the word(s) that strikes a chord in you as the starting point for your piece, or try using all ten words in one paragraph, or a poem.
• Think back on your day. Pick one event, person, or object from your day (stubbing your toe, the mailman, the orchid in the window) and start writing.
• Allow your beginning words and sentences to lead you like a trusted friend. If a new subject or emotion appears on the page, follow it. Let yourself be surprised.
Trust yourself.
• Let your writing spill out of you like spring rains over a dam. Get it all out. Let go of punctuation and spelling if need be. Then go back and edit.
• Keep your "critic" quiet. Do whatever is necessary to quiet the little beastie, and bring in your angels instead.
• Develop an acute awareness of your environment, inside and out. Pay attention to what goes on inside of you, as well as what is happening in the world around you. Override habit, apathy, and numbness. Recapture what Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel calls "a sense of radical amazement at life."
• Nothing is too insignificant, or too large, to write about. Joy and sorrow are equally potent, though it is often in what I call the "shadow places" that we find our most fertile fields of expression. Dig as deep as you can, and don't forget the wondrous moments.
• More than a million words exist in the English language. Choose yours carefully. Words are like seeds, containing entire worlds within themselves. Take the time (after that initial spilling out) to find just the right word to describe the color of your child's hair, the sound of ice breaking at the first thaw.
• Take notes. And don't, I repeat, do not, edit those first words that tumble onto the page. They contain a lasting energy that you'll be able to use in your writing, even years from now.
• Use detail. Give things their proper names; identify that tree, name the woman on the corner. Use sensory detail: how things taste, or smell. Detail grounds our writing in the real world, and makes it more accessible.
• Share your writing, when you're ready, with safe and supportive people. I am constantly amazed at the power of sharing our stories and poems, at the outpouring of compassion and understanding, at the tears of relief when we realize we are not alone in our experience.

A RAILWAY signal box that is nearly 140 years old is set to be demolished for a newer system.
Bosses at Network Rail have submitted a Certificate of Lawfulness to Pendle Council to allow them to demolish the Brierfield Signal Box.
In the application a Network Rail spokesman said: "The crossing proposal includes the implementation of new technology that requires pre-determined detection zones and clear lines of site.
"The crossing is classified as an automatic crossing not requiring an onsite attendant for day-to-day operations. This has lead to the gate box becoming obsolete.
"As the crossing operation is impinged by the gate box and the box will be obsolete the demolition is proposed and re-control to Preston Power Signal Box.
"The gate box overlooks the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and is located adjacent to Brierfield Railway Station.
"The box is was constructed in 1876 and constructed by the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway to serve local textile and cotton mills long since closed."

UNG receives safe driving grant
The University of North Georgia has received a $7,720 grant to participate in the Georgia Young Adult Program, aimed at reducing car accidents and related injuries and fatalities.
The aim of the program, conducted through the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, is to use strategies like peer education, bringing speakers to the school and developing other techniques to reduce wrecks.
"These funds help support education, awareness and prevention for students to make wise, responsible decisions," Sarah Williams, a health educator for the university, said in a news release.
Some events being planned include trivia games, drunken driving simulators and activities for a Safe Spring Break Week. Student worker Abby Young will help coordinate the events.
"These events, which are usually booths outside of our Dahlonega campus student center, include brochures, interactive games and facts and statistics that inform students about the health risks of things such as alcohol and tobacco," Young said.
The grant will run through Sept. 30.

A Geothermal Getaway
New Zealand is a place where people ski on active volcanoes and bungee-jump off suspension bridges into gorges. So when three friends and I took a trip last March to Rotorua on the North Island of the other land Down Under, we were prepared for adventure.
Or so I thought, until I found myself about to hurtle 500 feet down a hill in a giant water-infused ball called a Zorb. But the 30-second ride down a zigzag course ($32) was thrilling, and as I emerged dripping wet, I contemplated another go-round on a different course.
Rotorua is a three-hour drive from the capital, Auckland, which is a nonstop, $1,400 economy-class or $10,000 business-class flight from Los Angeles or San Francisco on Air New Zealand or Qantas. The warmest months are September through April, with daytime temperatures soaring to near 100F in January and February. You can transfer by air to Rotorua, but we opted to drive, through a region so sparsely populated I wondered how long it would take to find our bodies if the car broke down.
The town's full Maori name is Te Rotorua-nui-a-Kahumatamomoe ("Second Lake"), and it is the heart of New Zealand's prominent aboriginal Maori culture. In no time, we found our lodging, Peppers on the Point (peppers.co.nz/on-the-point), part of a chain of distinctive luxury properties sprinkled around Australia and New Zealand. The lodge, on five prime acres at Kawaha Point fronting the 23-square-mile lake, was built in the 1930s as the mansion of a hotel magnate. It offers seven roomy suites starting at $817 a night during the peak summer season beginning Oct. 1, along with a tennis court, private beach, and spa.
When we pulled in, Manager David Small said we'd be staying in the owner's adjacent part-time residence, the Lake Villa. Since our visit was at the end of the summer season and neither the owner nor a large guest group were around, we lucked out, getting the five-bedroom house. It has the best views of the city and lake, punctuated by lazy drifts of steam from local geothermal activity and amazing sunrises and sunsets.
The first night, we popped into the main house just as the maître d' was serving canapés and drinks to newlyweds just in from Canada to take advantage of the region's many golf courses, including Arikikapakapa, which has boiling thermal mud pools alongside the fairways (drive straight, or you're in trouble). Rather than stay for dinner, we decided to check out the Pig & Whistle Pub, formerly the local jail. The meal, $25 each for a lamb burger and ginger beer, was decent, but you go there more for people-watching and listening to local bands three nights a week.
The next day we set out for pampering, New Zealand-style. After a delicious breakfast of roasted mushrooms with scrambled eggs, we drove about 20 miles to Hell's Gate and the Wai Ora Spa. Dubbed "the gateway to Hell" by George Bernard Shaw in the early 1900s, it's billed as the only place you can sample all three of the things Rotorua is famous for: geothermal activity, Maori culture, and spas. Our Maori guide, Patrick Tamati, took us on a tour of the 50-acre property, past prehistoric-looking trees, bleached white scrubs, and bubbling pits and pools of mud. At one point, he urged us to slather on some of the sulfuric mud from a dried pit, typically used to cleanse and heal the skin.
Maybe it was a guy thing, but the mud baths take some getting used to. As part of the spa's more expensive packages, which cost $57 to $160 per person, you plop down into a warm mud pool for 20 minutes to open the pores. Following a cold outdoor shower, you sit another 30 minutes or so in warm sulfur-rich water known for its skin-healing properties. Your reward is an hourlong full body massage with local Manuka tree oil. However, even the fragrant oil didn't prevent our skin from exuding sulfur for the next two days.
Back that evening at Peppers, we headed to the main house for drinks and hors d'oeuvres, followed by a fabulous four-course Kiwi/French fusion dinner made by the resident chef, Reg Hawthorne. The char-grilled kingfish salad with prawn and mango salsa drizzled with lemon coulis was exquisite, as was a $90 bottle of Yalumba's Octavius 2001 (Australian) shiraz from the extensive wine cellar.
On our final day in Rotorua, we set out for a three-hour RiverJet Thermal jetboat safari ($75). The black boat speeds through the magnificent Tutukau Gorge on the Waikato River en route to another geothermal site, Orakei Korako. We heard all about the Maori battles that took place nearby and saw water so clear that hundreds of trout were visible. On the outbound leg, we hiked into a giant cave with a clear pool at the bottom and up over canyons and cliffs with strange rock formations. On the return trip, our guide engaged in a little hard-racing action, as the speeding boat made several 360-degree spins and veered close to islands and fallen trees.
On the way back to Auckland, we made a detour off the highway to Mamaku Blue Winery, the country's only maker of blueberry wines. The spicy blueberry chutney makes for good eating and great gifts.
There's plenty more in Rotorua, including helicopter tours of live volcanoes, visits to a geyser that erupts some 20 times a day, tandem skydiving, dinner at the village of Te Wairora, which was buried by an 1886 eruption and later excavated, whitewater rafting, and sky rides in a gondola on Mt. Ngongotaha. All those things are on my wish list for the next trip back.

Last week's opinion column by Tim Lane on Ian Meckiff had Mount Eliza reader Peter White reminiscing about events of a half-century ago.
AS THOSE horrible ''no ball'' calls rang out at the Gabba in December 1963, not only was one career destroyed and Australian cricket set back terribly, but the dreams of seven young boys playing cricket in a Mentone backyard were put dramatically on hold.
Prior to the first Test, at the urging of his brother Don (my skipper in my first year playing with the seniors at the local club), Ian Meckiff unbelievably had agreed to come down to Mundy Street to play and coach some 14 to 16-year-old kids.
Like many thousands of others at that time, playing cricket in the backyard was our life. The Australian cricket team were our idols - and the very few Victorians that made that team even more so. To have a member of the Australian cricket side agree to come down ''for a hit'' with some unknown local kids (and between Tests in a tough series) was the stuff of dreams.
We were not just an ordinary backyard group, however. Courtesy of mum and dad's untiring support (and tolerance and patience), our backyard was formed from two adjoining houses with the dividing fence removed, enabling a full length of pitch (running north-south, of course). Some ''protection'' for neighbours was provided by used golf practice nets.
As Dean Jones reminded us all in a recent Age article, our backyard became the birthplace of our love for the game - and for our strengths and weaknesses. We all learnt to bowl ''open chested'' for, in the beginning, you ran down the sideway, under the Hills Hoist and then broke to the right - perfect for left-handers (like my brother) but not great for us right-handers. To my great cost (I was going to play for Australia, of course) I never learnt to on-drive - one house with all its windows was in direct line.
There was some talent there, however - one friend played two games for Victoria (via an outstanding career and eventual life membership at St Kilda) and two enjoyed long careers at Melbourne and North Melbourne at senior level. My left-arm (quick) younger brother could have played at any level. Even a current senior Age illustrator was involved and he is still trying to play the game today.
I was the ''oldie'' at 16, the battler of the group - and the curator. Meckiff's unbelievable generosity really put the pressure on my fledgling skills. However, hours of rolling, cutting and watering produced a perfect backyard pitch. We were primed - and then we heard those horrible calls over the radio.
But with the optimism and naivety of youth, we continued to plan for our ''special'' Wednesday afternoon - whitening our pads, oiling bats (you did that back in those days) and spending our combined pocket money on a new cricket ball - for ''Mr Meckiff''. Talk about naivety.
A perfect afternoon- and our guest was probably not even coming. We knew the reason, but we were immensely disappointed - for him and for ourselves. Then suddenly this tall, slightly gangly man with a gentle face, sparkling smile and sharp eyes strolled unaccompanied down the sideway.
After all that he had gone through in the previous two weeks, Meckiff had kept his promise.
Age, and the fact that I was responsible for the pitch, meant that I was to open the batting against him. I suddenly wasn't feeling so brave. Why, oh why, had we given him a new ball? Why didn't I spend an extra 1000 hours rolling that very green strip of grass? Fortunately I didn't need to worry - after a couple passed my nose (well before the era of helmets), I faced some unremarkable left-arm orthodox spin.
We spent a terrific time with the man who, in our eyes at least, was fast approaching God-like status. Optimistic, supportive, gentle, helpful and still clearly in love with the game that had treated him so cruelly, his advice and enthusiasm was inspirational.
Back then, we didn't dwell on his situation. We didn't know that the umpire had ''passed'' him six times previously. We didn't dwell on the fact that he was never reintroduced into the attack that day in Brisbane, or why he wasn't bowled from the other end.
We didn't think much about the very obvious ''faceless men'' of Australian cricket. We never felt a need to question why he immediately retired.
What we also didn't dwell much on that day was that we may well have been part of his final game of cricket. All we knew was that one of our heroes was in our backyard that afternoon - and we felt 10 feet tall.
Decades on, the remarkable simplicity, generosity, honesty and commitment of Meckiff's visit remains with us all. It was never about being the ''superstar'' that he certainly was. It was never about the ''chucking''.
It was never about conspiracies - for never once did he complain about what had happened to him. It was just about the cricket.
As we have gained some wisdom later in life, we have realised that Ian Meckiff's visit was about far more than just a hit in a backyard. It was about the honouring of a commitment - regardless of how apparently inconsequential that commitment may have appeared, or how tough that might have been at the time.
It was about supporting young people and about nurturing their dreams. It was about playing the game of life with dignity and grace.

Erectile dysfunction is a fairly common cause of a sexless marriage but it isn't the sort of thing many men care to talk about due to embarrassment. No matter whether it's called erectile dysfunction, loss of libido, impotence, or anything else, erection problems are something which many men have to face at some time in their life.
The causes of impotence are varied, but what is so annoying is that tens of millions of men have some type of erectile dysfunction – yet less than half of them try to get help for it.
Because of embarrassment or simply feeling like there's nothing that can be done, erectile dysfunction is often ignored when something could be done about it. The fact is, you can prevent and treat most erection problems when you know what they are, what causes them, and what treatment for impotence is available.
Symptoms of impotence
- An inability to maintain an erection
- The tendency to maintain only brief erections
- The inability to be consistent in erections
Impotence in young men
It may surprise you just how many men between the ages of 20 to 40 are also experiencing the problem of erectile dysfunction. Many younger men don't seek advice about their erectile dysfunction because they think that it's something that only happens to older men. The knowledge that this is a problem which affects men of all ages may encourage them to get the help they need instead of hiding it from others.
Causes of impotence
It's important to realise that it's not just physical problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes that are possible reasons for impotence but also emotional and psychological problems.
Stress is often a big factor in relation to loss of libido
It can be difficult to focus on the enjoyment of sexual activities when you have too much stress in your life. While it's impossible to eliminate all of the stress from our lives we can certainly reduce it. It's time to take a good look at your life. If you having too much stress because of work, finances, relationships, or other concerns you need to do something about it quickly.
Emotional issues
For many men, erectile dysfunction isn't the result of any physical problem with their body. Instead it is the result of emotional or psychological problems they are experiencing or have experienced in the past.
Harbouring some kind of grudge against your partner could be the root cause of your impotence. Some men aren't able to get or keep an erection after they find out their partner has cheated on them or betrayed them in some way. They may have repressed anger about this and many other aspects of the relationship that are nagging them.
Counseling is a very effective type of treatment for this type of problem. It can help a man overcome the problems that are stopping him from having a healthy sex life.
One cause of ED is when men feel there is too much pressure on them to perform sexually but have low self-esteem. As a result they feel overly anxious about how they will perform in the eyes of their partner. The stress caused by such expectations can result in erectile dysfunction.
Some men have had their self-esteem so damaged by previous partners that they aren't confident in their abilities to satisfy their current partner. A man who is afraid he can't perform sexually is likely to retreat emotionally from intimate relationships. In fact, some men begin fights with their spouse just so they can avoid the real issue.
Exhaustion can also result in erectile dysfunction
It is not just the physical exhaustion however as it is possible for a man to be mentally exhausted from the strain of trying to cope with worry. As a rule, men don't talk much about what's worrying them and the internal stress caused by hiding their problems from the world takes such a toll on them that they simply get worn out by it all.
Smoking and impotence
Your lifestyle can be a cause of erectile dysfunction as well. Research has shown that males who smoke, are overweight, don't eat a healthy diet, and that don't exercise have a higher chance of it occurring. Smoking is a major cause as it can have a bad effect on blood flow through the veins and arteries. Smoking has also been associated with lower testosterone levels.
Over the counter erectile dysfunction remedy
Because so many men are taking medication as a treatment of impotence there is a misconception that these products are completely safe. While they can be extremely helpful there are some side effects which you should know about. With some of these ED medications there can be problems such as your vision or hearing being affected. Being aware of these possible side effects is very important.
By finding out more about erectile dysfunction medication you can make up your mind if you want to use an over the counter erectile dysfunction remedy rather than seeing your doctor.
Getting help for erectile dysfunction problems
Now that you know a little more about the causes of impotence you can seek help in the knowledge that you are not the only one man with the problem. Whatever happens, never feel too embarrassed to talk to your partner or to your doctor about your erectile dysfunction.
Any man affected by erectile dysfunction is recommended to see a doctor instead of attempting to deal with it on their own. By putting off medical attention you could be allowing problems to intensify when they could have been addressed early on. Erectile dysfunction is a common problem but that doesn't mean you can't overcome it with the help of the right treatment.

Each year The Local Taphouse polls beer drinkers to decide the hottest 100 Australian craft beers of the year. They announced the rankings for 2013 on Australia Day this year.
While Australia's two biggest brewers, Fosters and Lion (both foreign owned), had a strong presence in the craft segment, independent brewers dominated this year's top 100. However, the big brewers also won favour with voters.
Feral Brewing Company Hop Hog took the top spot this year, repeating last year's performance. Stone and Wood Brewing Co Pacific Ale was second and Lion-owned Little Creatures Pale Ale was third.
Little Creatures took fifth place too with its India Pale Ale. But independent brewers held eight of the 10 top spots. (See the full list at craftypint.com.)
Australian Brewery The Fresh Press Cider ★★★
355ml can $14.99 for a four-pack
The Australian Brewery of Rouse Hill, Sydney, say they ferment their cider from freshly crushed apples. It's a pale coloured, low-gas cider with a pleasing, clean, apple-like aroma and flavour and a slight sweetness just outweighing the acidity.
Samuel Smith's India Pale Ale ★★★★ ½
550ml $8.50
Smith's says it uses water from a well sunk in 1758 to ferment their beer in traditional Yorkshire stone fermenters. True to the traditional India Pale style, it's intensely bitter, thanks to a mother lode of hops (originally a 19th-century preservative for the long voyage to India).

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Kingdom Hearts' started by legacyAccount, Nov 7, 2011.
I'm guessing you haven't played or even heard anything about kh3D.
of the ones you posted above, I would REALLY like to see
Monster's Inc
John Carter
Emperor's New Groove
Lilo and Stitch
Toy Story
Treasure Planet
Doesn't Disney own the rights to halloween 6?
Hmmm ideas....
... They already did Fantasia in Symphony of Sorcery.
Yep. 3D has Fantasia. It was one of the funnest worlds too, IMO.
I agree.
But still they can recycle the world, or give it more of a story. Or they can do Fantasia 2000.
If they were to recycle it, I probably wouldn't like it. The fact that it was new and surprising made me like it, if they were to do the exact same thing, I would wonder why I was doing it again. Pretty much like why I wondered I had to do all the kh2 worlds again.
.Well not recycle it exactly. Like what they did with Aladdin and The Coliseum. They used the same world but had different places to explore
Except Aladdin had another movie to use and I doubt they would be able to reuse the world like how they reuse the coliseum.
If for whatever reason they chose to re-use Aladdin, I would like to see them do something with the third movie, which not many people remember/care to talk about. It revolved around the 40 Thieves and the Midas Touch, and I actually preferred it over Return of Jafar when I was a kid.
That being said, I would be more than fine not seeing Agrahbah/Aladdin play a big role as a world in KH3. And seriously, I would be legitimately annoyed if the neglected another chance to include Toy Story or something and just re-used Aladdin/Beauty & The Beast/Mulan etc....
Oh gosh, a world based on Mulan 2... *shudders*
Revisiting worlds isnt fun. I like seeing things fresh and new. I like seeing the story of classic disney films unfold.
My ideas and characters for each main world are posted below:
Destiny Islands : Have Sora and Riku reunite with old friends, let them explore the town
Selphie, Tidus, Wakka and other Final Fantasy characters
Radiant Garden : Learn more about Xehanort
Leon, Aerith, Yuffie, Cid, Merlin, Cloud, Tifa, Lea, Aeleus, Ienzo, Even, Yuna, Rikku and Paine, Huey Dewey and Louie, Pete, Maleficent, Sepiroth?
The World that Never Was: Kick some organization butt!
Saix, Xigbar, Xaldin and Xemnas, Larxene?
Keyblade Graveyard :Finish the game
Xehanort, Terra-Xehanort, and Vanitas?
Disney Town/Castle: Receive important files from the Castle library and protect the data of all worlds
King Mickey, Queen Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Chip and Dale, Horace Horsecollar, Clarabelle Cow, Clara Cluck
For Disney themed worlds I would say....
The Jungle Book
Pirates of the Caribean (based off Dead Man's Chest)
The Sword in the Stone
The Princess and the Frog
I wonder if anyone will say something when Sora and Vanitas are together.
everyone dont forget kingdom hearts is part square enix so getting some worlds from them would also be cool like mini ninjas or chrno triger, or final fantsy 7, front mission
But it's hard enough for them to make a 1 and a half hour movie into a single world. I really don't want them to fit a 40-80 hour game into a world.
Oh yeah and I want Radiant Garden to have both the castle and the town.
Besides a lot of the worlds that Kingdom Hearts has had there are two lists of worlds id like to see
first, the realistic list
Toy Story
Spiderman (or Marvel in general)
second, the very unrealistic list but any of these would be freaking awesome
Soul Eater (which is published by square enix, so maybe realistic)
Legend of Zelda
Sonic the Hedgehog
Crash Bandicoot
I doubt Marvel will be involved, it doesn't have that "disney magic' that Kingdom Hearts wants. Pixar hasn't been used yet, idk why. If they dont use a Pixar world by KH3 I dont see Pixar in Kingdom Heart's future.
Unless there saving all of the Pixar movies for after the Xehanort saga, in which they than use only Pixar worlds.
KH3 World Theory:
(Tutorial Town/Lea and Kairi's training is the tutorial)
(Radiant Garden)
(Disney World) (Disney World)
(Disney World)
(Tutorial Town)
(Realm of Darkness/Save Aqua)
(Disney World) (Disney World)
(Castle Oblivion/Save Ventus)
(Disney World) (Disney World)
(Mysterious Tower/Random Conflict Information)
(Disney World) (Disney World)
(Disney World)
(Tutorial Town)
(The World That Never Was)
(Keyblade Graveyard/Final Battle)
I put some worlds more than once because i'm assuming they'll be revisited several times. Just what im guessing will be the order worlds are visited.
Also in the credits:
Sora, Riku and Kairi return to Destiny Islands and watch the waves
Ventus, Terra and Aqua return to Land of Departure (which has been returned from its state as Castle Oblivion) and stare at the stars
Roxas, Axel and Xion return to Twilight Town and eat ice cream
i dont think they own anything with marvel anymore cuz they weren't doing well with it but it would be awesome seeing sora becoming friends with the hulk helping him calm down also i would love to see him go to different game world such as past FF games or crash bandicoot another cool thing would be seperate story lines for sora riku and kairi like what they did with birth by sleep but on a more massive scale (spoiler alert) i also think sora was completely ripped off when only riku became a master so i hope they elaborate on a lot of the training him and axel have to do to become masters and also make kairi not so weak thing like sakura
When you think about it, Marvel movies tend to be all across the globe, so it would be hard making just a few areas for Marvel worlds. I like what your thinking with the Sora/Riku/Kairi idea, and Sora not becoming a master...I think it was to surprise players, since the main character failing isn't something they'd expect. Also, like someone else said, it's suppose to represent how Sora doesn't care about a title, and how Sora is optamistic and stuff.
Also, no offence, but they will never travel to a third party world. It's about Square Enix, and Disney. Even a Final Fantasy world wouldn't probably fit. A lot of people imagine Sora and co. traveling to Crash Bandicoot and Sonic the Hedgehog worlds. But it will never happen. Maybe, and completely unlikely, if its a different game series, but think of all the legal things that would have to be dealt with. In Kingdom Hearts, never.
ye i doubt there will ever be diff game series in there but its fun to ponder about it another thing is i wanna see the conclusion to the whole cloud and sephiroth fight after you beat him in KH2 they start battling and disappear
ye i doubt there will ever be diff game series in there but its fun to ponder about it another thing is i wanna see the conclusion to the whole cloud and sephiroth fight after you beat him in KH2 they start battling and disappear
There are some awesome ideas in here, especially that Pizza Planet idea!
Some movies that should be used:
+ Jungle Book (even though they canned it from BBS, but I think that was for time issues)
+ Robin Hood
+ Pocahontas
+ Treasure Planet
+ Princess and the Frog
+ Darkwing Duck (well not technically a movie)
+ Toy Story
+ The Incredibles
+ Monsters Inc.
+ Wreck-It-Ralph (I think it would work)
Edit: Oh and how could I forget Lilo & Stitch! They really need to do it on the island now.
Everything else is great and Darkwing Duck is one of the popular choices, if you look at other websites.
Oh didn't know why they removed it! I think Wreck-It-Ralph might work IF they only used original material from the movie. Yeah Bowser and Eggman would totally shoot down that idea though like you said.
Well thats what i'm assuming because they had to cancel a show based on the Jungle Book because of it. They could do the world, but they'd have to leave out King Louie. I agree with Wreck-It-Ralph since it has plenty of original material.
What about Oz? That would be a cool world to see.
My idea for the Kingdom Hearts 3, new characters (esp. a new protagonist who will also fight along side Sora), all previous worlds from Kingdom Hearts 1 - Kingdom Hearts 3D (some which should be based on each of their sequels or prequels) and some new worlds based on Final Fantasy or any Square Enix Productions like The World Ends With You and CLASSIC Disney movies like Lilo & Stitch (Hawaii), Emperor's New Groove, Treasure Planet, Pocahontas, The Jungle Book, The Princess & The Frog, The Rescuers, Brother Bear, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, The Story of Robin Hood & His Merrie Men, Bambi, Dumbo, 101 Dalmatians, Lady & The Tramp, The AristoCats, & The Fox & The Hound ( For Pixar Movies, I do agree on some but it will destroy the classics of the game & please no Marvel) Some Animes like Naruto Shippuden, Fairy Tail or Soul Eater can be included since they give very complex and deep plots, more Action than Mini Games, You can control any Character depending on the situation that will take place in the game, More secrets will be revealed and the story will be more complex with a bit of understanding in it (I hope a bit Mature since Sora and the others have grown a lot), If Romance can be present, why not?, of course the Nobodies & Heartless will come back since they are from Darkness, and the last more weapons to use....
- It's just my idea for Kingdom Hearts 3, nothing to fight over about....
So how would Pixar destroy the classics of the game but not anime...
well not really destroy its just a tradition of the game but If there wold be pixar movies well I'm fine with it since toy story 1-3 had a wonderful Plot with unique characters and their own unique way of fighting ..
sorry if i offended anyone
Phineas and Ferb have a better chance than the anime.
(KH3d spoiler alert)If they have alot of main playable characters as kinda indicated in KH3d at the ending, I really hope they put ALOT of different worlds or make each character have their own set of worlds they go threw instead of them going threw the same worlds like in KH3d. If it is just one main character still have alot of different worlds so that KH could be a game that you could play for a really long time without getting bored. I really hope Square Enix doesnt mess up with this game.
Or just add sidequests and post game material. I don't like the idea of them going to the same worlds because it becomes boring and "been there done that", but I think they should atleast let them visit worlds in a different order. Or have 1 unique world each. Theres a lot of (don't know the term) original, non-disney worlds, so instead of cramming them all into one journey, assuming theres more than Sora playable, characters should get exclusive worlds. For example,
Sora gets Traverse Town and Riku get Twilight Town....for no logical purpose.
Yeah I'm getting way ahead of myself.
I think Sora should get Twilight Town and Riku should get Traverse town. For some reason I associate Traverse Town with Heartless and Twilight Town with Nobodies and I think Riku has more to do with Heartless since he had darkness inside him and Sora has more to do with Nobodies since he hasone. Idk thats just how I see it
If there are multiple characters that you switch through, I hope it isn't like in DDD. I'd rather play them like in BBS where you play all the way through with each character than continuously switch back between them. Either that or I can see it being like mission modes where you complete things as one character, and then you move on to another character and go through a complete thing as them.
I am not sure I want it like BBS. Because by the time I got to the last character I already knew how it was going to end. In DDD you play both stories side by side.
Unless you played all 3 simutaneously.
Actually, I've decided that they should only have one character. I really don't want to level up a bunch of people separately.
I don't understand people posting things outside of Square-Enix or Disney... You guys realize how difficult and expensive that would be (and not to mention confusing) to add in something like Naruto?
I guess I could say the same for any Pixar worlds in terms of cost and difficulty, but they seem more reasonable than any anime.
Worlds they should add:
+ Robin Hood (I think this would work perfectly because of the action involved)
+ Pocahontas (probably would work if they made the colorful world come to life like in the movie)
+ Treasure Planet (never saw the movie, but I see this requested a lot so why not!)
+ Atlantis (I thought this could work out well, maybe something involving deception)
+ Lilo & Stitch (this time set in Hawaii to finish up Stitch's story.. in fact I'm sure this will make it in to a future game, most likely KH3)
+ Princess & The Frog (I think the story and world would work perfectly
+ Incredibles (maybe add in the theme of team-work before the final battle with Xehanort)
+ Toy Story (someone before mentioned a Pizza Planet which I'd be all for!) (alternatively, it could be encompass Andy's and Sid's houses)
+ Monster's Inc. (could work, especially to publicize the Monster's Inc. prequel)
A lot of these are kind of a stretch since I'm sure they'll include other places like a Traverse Town/Twilight Town and a final world (probably the Keyblade Graveyard) and some surprise world (like Castle Oblivion).
Honestly the worlds i like to see is:
Pirates of the Carribean
Lilo & Stitch
Treasure Planet
Traditional Worlds as well (Twilight town , Destiny Island.....etc)
Toy Story
Oh what the heck! Put all the disney worlds in the game lol .
Everyone is just looking at Disney what about final fantasy it would be awesome if they went to the Besiad Island or some other places that has to do with final fantasy.
Well, Disney is the only real option. Unless you want a new, original world not based on anything but is home to some Square Enix characters.
Including Final Fantasy worlds wouldn't make sense at this point. The existence of some characters doesn't even make sense when considering the established canon of their original worlds.
Why are Tidus and Wakka children while Yuna, Rikku, and Paine are faries? Selphie, Seifer, Raijin and Fujin are all children, while Squall/Leon is an adult. Aerith and Zack are still alive as well.
With Disney, they change the plot of each world to incorporate the Kingdom Hearts universe, but they still all generally follow the source material.
They would need to bring in the cast from a Final Fantasy game that hasn't been touched yet, or retcon/forget about the younger/farie-version of characters already established in the Kingdom Hearts universe. Then again, time travel is now a part of the Kingdom Hearts story, so I suppose they could exhaust that already over used plot device to make it all work.
Just get a segmant from the game it doesnt have to be the whole thing

NPR's Wait, Wait game bluffs a listener with St. Pete Times story on honey buns in prison
For an NPR geek like me, it was like seeing your workplace featured in People magazine.
While listening to the service's brainy news trivia game Wait Wait Don't Tell Me Saturday, a story in the show's Bluff the Listener game sounded gloriously familiar. As part of the game, in which the show's three panelists read quirky news stories and ask a fan to guess which story is actually true, Mo Rocca read a piece about honey buns in prison that I knew was the real deal, however improbable is sounded.
That's because it was likely based on a story by the St. Pete Times' Drew Harwell, noting that honey buns had become a valued currency in Florida's prison system. It was just the latest example of how far this excellent piece has traveled, posted everywhere from the gossip site Gawker to many of the major TV and newspaper outlets in Florida.
The lead sentence was a marvel of storytelling and pacing: "The honey buns enter lockup the same way anyone else does: bound, escorted through halls and sally ports, and secluded in small boxes solely opened from the outside. From there the honey buns languish for days, maybe longer, until they're gone."
As perhaps the icing on the cake -- yeah, that probably went too far, I know -- the listener guessed the right story, picking Rocca's tale of honeybuns turned to "money buns" because the other choices were "gross" and "disturbing." (she's right: the other stories were centered on lip gloss made from Cheetos and caulk made from the filling in old Twinkies.)

New Product Alert! Bindaboo Bindy Beds
If your pups need the knead-and-pat technique before laying down for some shut-eye, the new Bindy bed by Bindaboo is pawfect for their paws! Looking like a shag carpet sample, the curly soft texture is actually a polyester fleece material that naturally traps heat to regulate pets' body temperature.
The fringe is appealing for big-time snuggles, and the two sizes — in chocolate and cream — fit pooches large and small while the price still goes easy on your wallet ($36 to $44). Now, that's what I call a sweet dream.

Calendar objects contained in a detached Entity still have a "live" StateManagerImpl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: OPENJPA-422 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-422 Project: OpenJPA Issue Type: Bug Components: kernel Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Reporter: Kevin Sutter Assignee: Kevin Sutter Fix For: 1.0.1, 1.1.0 When Entities are detached, normally the StateManagerImpl instance associated with this Entity is replaced with a DetachedStateManager. Not only with the Entity itself, but also with the proxied attributes (Date, Calendar, Collection, and Map types). But, somehow the Calendar object type was forgotten in the code for this processing. So, the Calendar proxy type was left with a "live" StateManagerImpl instance. If the owning Broker (EntityManager) for this Entity was closed, then the use of this "live" StateManagerImpl would end up with an IllegalStateException. And, even if the owning Broker (EntityManager) was still open, this "live" StateManagerImpl should not have been tracking the state since the enclosing Entity was detached. A simple one-line update to DetachManager$DetachFieldManager.reproxy() method will now process the Calendar proxies as well as the other proxies it was already doing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Powerful Controller, but Not Without Issues
Pros: Enough wattage per channel to run a couple Deltas each.
Cons: Only 3-pin extensions are included (unlike the Rheosmart 6: splitters, 3-pin to molex, molex to 3-pin, etc.). Annoying/loud buzz at medium voltages.
Today, mine arrived, and I did a few quick voltage measurements at full, 3 o'clock, and 12 o'clock locations (I didn't bother going lower, since my fans don't even run at such low voltages).
Fans used for testing: four Delta AFB1212VHEs (an older version). Label says 12V at 0.9A each, so 10.8W each fan, or 43.2W total.
I measured them to be at 10.6V and 1.74A total (for some unknown reason ). With three of them, they come out to be 10.9V and 1.44A total. This was ran directly off the power supply (did I mention loud?).
Side note: yeah, forgot to do no-load measurements at 12 o'clock .
Looks like the voltage issue is fixed! At least at above 4V.
Regarding the buzz, it's still there. I did measurements by ear (half a foot away, seems to be coming from the capacitors), and all six channels had it start up at about 8V, and stop at 11.08V.
It's loud to the point that I could hear it over my six Deltas at 6-7V four feet away. At full 12V though, obviously the fan noise reigns.
I also ran into a problem trying to stick the controller into a 5.25 slot on my HAF 922. The sides of the controller are not straight, but protrudes outwards (like a sideways staircase with one stair) near the panel itself, which was what prevents the controller from going all the way in. I had to dremel off a millimeter or two of each side of my 922's 5.25 slots to get it to fit.
If the sides of your 5.25 slots are steel, it could be a problem.
Now, the nitpicks.
The knobs are not evenly pushed in, i.e. some are protruding more than others, and it didn't seem like you can't fix it by pulling them out to the same distance.
The knobs themselves are not identically built. The dots on them that indicate how far it is turned varies in size, from knob to knob. The grinding off of the corners are not even (but less noticeable).
I'd prefer the dots replaced with lines (from edge to center), but that's just me.
The capacitors were angling in all sorts of directions (I'm a semi-perfectionist!).
Only 3-pin extensions are included (not sleeved ), so you'll need to get your own splitters/3-pin-to-molexes/molex-to-3-pins, etc.
It could have also had separators that prevents light from one channel bleeding into another channel (so you don't get confused if a channel is on or not).
If you're looking for a high-wattage-per-channel fan controller and don't run fans at 8-11V range, look no further (or if you don't care too much about buzzing)!
Otherwise, I'd recommend you look elsewhere.
I don't run my fans that high, so I'm fine . Besides, I was looking forward to running three Deltas on one channel anyways, so my 360 radiator fans can match in CFM.
In addition, be careful about the controller not fitting in 5.25 slots.

Credit Cards » Compare Gift Cards » E-gift card use hits the mobile market
If the future of gift cards is digital, then the future is, well, almost here.
Fifty-nine percent of the 62 gift cards surveyed by Bankrate.com as part of its 2014 Gift Card Survey come in digital form, a small uptick from the 54 percent of gift cards surveyed last year.
Three retailers -- Bed, Bath & Beyond, Office Depot and Dillard's -- have added a digital gift card to their product lineup since Bankrate's 2013 Gift Card Survey. No brand eliminated their virtual offering in between.
Bankrate's 2014 Gift Card Survey looked at 62 gift cards in total: seven bank and credit card company-issued gift cards and 55 other gift cards from chain restaurants, online stores, supermarkets, department stores, big-box stores, major airlines and gas stations.
Its findings are congruent with Bankrate's gift card surveys from the past few years, which show a slow but fairly steady rise for digital gift cards, starting in 2011.
Six merchants launched virtual versions of their gift card products that year, a boom that decelerated during 2012's survey, with a few brands even eliminating the option. (Enough merchants added a digital offering between the two analyses for the total number of brands with the product to break about even year over year.)
Still, experts predict that a larger move to digital gift cards is inevitable.
"Retailers and shoppers are getting more comfortable with the idea of a digital gift card," says Ben Jackson, director of Mercator Advisory Group's prepaid advisory service. According to his research, these cards (both e-cards and mobile) made up about 7 percent of the $85.8 billion gift card market in 2013. Comparatively, digital gift cards made up about 4 percent of the $97.2 billion in gift cards back in 2011.
While the latest stat still represents a small part of the total gift card market, "it's going to continue to grow, just like everything else is becoming more digital," Jackson says.
Digital gift cards currently come in many forms. Some retailers offer e-cards, which can be purchased online and delivered right to a friend or family member's inbox. Others have gone mobile. A virtual card can be purchased online or with a smartphone and then sent to the recipient via email, text message, app or even Facebook.
There are lots of reasons why these products would appeal to customers. For starters, they're a quick fix for anyone who might need a gift on the fly. Second, unlike their plastic counterparts, they don't take up excess real estate in your wallet. And though it may seem counterintuitive, a digital gift card can be easily personalized.
"If I want to send you a (digital) gift card and I want to put a picture of me as a dancing elf on it, I can do that," Jackson says.
Another bonus for consumers: Some merchants are pairing their digital gift cards with existing or enhanced loyalty programs. Case in point: Starbucks, whose e-gift cards can be loaded into and then redeemed through the merchant's mobile app at the point of sale.
A report from Business Insider's BI Intelligence found that Starbucks drove over $1 billion in mobile payment revenue in 2013, which represents a full 4 percent of U.S. mobile payments that year.
The coffee chain isn't the only retailer active in the digital gift card marketplace. Target launched its mobile gift card back in 2011. Its product, which arrives to recipients via text message, has been well-received.
"We continue to see strong growth with our mobile and eGiftCards," said Meghan Cushing, a spokeswoman for Target, in an emailed statement.
Home Depot, which launched its digital gift card more than five years ago, continues to see increased consumer interest in that marketplace.
Digital is "one of our fast-growing gift cards," says Spencer Allen, a senior director at Home Depot overseeing its gift card operations. While most consumers still redeem the card via an email printout, "we're seeing a very nice redemption on (Apple) Passbook," he says. (Apple Passbook stows gift cards, boarding passes, movie tickets and more on your phone to be scanned for redemption later on.)
These and other successes are likely to spur more merchants to jump on the digital gift card bandwagon -- particularly if mobile payment platforms like Soft Card and Apple Pay start to catch on.
"The way retailers work is they don't want to miss the boat," says Matt Davies, founder and CEO at Powerhouse Brands Consulting, which focuses on gift cards. "Whatever the boat is, they want to be on it."
Demographics will also play a role in the shift.
According to a survey commissioned by Bankrate and compiled by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, 14 percent of millennials (ages 18 to 29) have given or received a mobile gift card, compared with only 7 percent of consumers ages 30 to 49 and only 6 percent of consumers ages 50 to 64. (Too few consumers ages 65 and over sent or received mobile gift cards to even register as a percentage.)
"The younger the consumer, the more comfortable they are digitally gifting," says Martha Weaver, director of the Gift Card Network, a gift card-specific marketing and collaboration platform. "We'll see a whole shift in the next 10 years."

So what came out of Cabrini Green? Trouble and pain is the most usual answer. But Black Ensemble Theater does not dwell on such things.
For the notorious public-housing complex on Chicago's Near North Side also produced some formidable artists, including Jerry Butler, Curtis Mayfield and, for that matter, Jackie Taylor. Taylor's revue-style homage to the soulful sounds of her youth is heating up her spiffy new theater on North Clark Street with the kind of emotional intensity that comes when you fill a theater with people who not only knew some of the musicians whose work is feted here but also may have gone to the same high school or hung out on the same street corners.

The meeting of the teachers, board of directors, and parents of the pupils of the Torah M'Zion Yeshivah, 623 Stone Avenue, which was called to arrange an amiable agreement of the teachers' strike last night, broke up in a general exchange of epithets.
The split occurred on the question of the union. The four teachers demanded the right to be represented by the Central Committee of Hebrew Teachers, a demand which both the parents and directors strenuously opposed.
Twice confusion resulted when this issue was raised, and twice order was restored. After a third general disorder, the teachers despaired of reaching a decision and walked out, resolving to resume the week-old strike and continue picketing the Yeshivah.
Before the meeting broke up, the three factions had reached an agreement on the disposition of tuition fees and appeal collections. These were to be allocated to pay the teachers' salaries.
Members of the board of directors attempted to bar reporters in protest against what they called "slandering of the yeshivah in the press." Through the intercession of teachers and parents, however, a Bulletin reporter was finally admitted.

After skin sparing mastectomy with nipple reconstruction and tram flap procedure, my entire areolar complex was sacrificed. The original tatoo from three years ago has faded and become mottled. My surgeon no longer offers tatooing in his practice and has no recommendations.
What Do I Need to Consider when Having the Areola Tattooed?
Doctor Answers 3
Nipple-Areola Tattoo After Mastectomy
It is not uncommon for a nipple/areola tattoo to fade with time aftera breast reconstruction. Alot of women need to have a touch-up tattoo every few years to maintain the color, shape, etc. If your surgeon no longer performs this procedure, I recommend going to the american society of plastic surgery website ( plasticsurgery.org) and finding a board certified plastic surgeon in your area that id very comfortable with breast reconstruction and niple/areola tattooing. I hope this helps.
Areola Tattooing
It is very common to require 2-3 applications to get an appropriate result with areola tattooing. If tattooing does not give you the result you desire, you may be a candidate for a full thicknesss skin graft from a pigmented area to provide a nicer result. The downside to this is the risk associated with a donor site scar and whether the skin graft will take. I wish you a safe and healthy recovery.
Breast Reconstruction
You should find a person, preferably a nurse who specializes in this and seek them out. Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in the area and see if they know of someone who can do this service.
