What is something about you that other people don't know? I still enjoy watching the Disney Channel.
Who is your favorite superhero and why? Quail Man from the cartoon Doug. I loved that show!!

Did i do the right thing?
So last night me and my wife went walking up to the gas station to get a pack of smokes i was open carrying my sig. We get down to the store with no issues and head back as we are walking up the driveway to the apartment buildings i notice a couple of people hanging out in the courtyard next to our building i will post pics of where when i have the ability to take them. Anyway we decide to goto the back door to get inside the building and enter the complex. As we walk in i see one guy enter the door at the other end of the stairs and i hear the door behind us open i tell her to run inside our apartment and lock the door and call 911.
As i am cornered here i place my hand a few inchs above my firearm on my hip and tell these guys to back off and leave we have called the cops who will be here shortly. I forgot to mention we at the top of the stairs with one person behind me at the base and one person in front of me. I didnt want to enter my apartment as there wasnt enough time to get in and lock the door before they could bum rush me and get inside. When the guys dont move i place my hand on my gun and click the safety off and i tell them again to leave i glance out the corner of my eye to the guy behind me and stare down the guy in front of me by now we can hear the sirens. The guy behind me blots out the back door the guy in front still isnt moving. I dont remember the conversations that took place between us i remember i was scared for my wifes life, my stepson's life and my own. He ended up backing away down the stairs and bolted out the door.
Did i do the right thing? Should i have just drawn and fired? Should i have just bolted into my apartment with my wife? The cops took my statement and my description of the guys and left saying if we needed them again to call and they would make a note of our address and what happened. I keep thinking i should have done something differently but at the time i was more concerned with protecting my wife and step son.
As long as you kept a reactionary distance it sounds like you did fine. No one was killed you called the cops your family was safe.
Ya did good.
I just took a self defence class and my best friend now is distance. Sounds like u had a decent control of the situation. No one died and ur families safe. Another example of a bad situation defused with a firearm.
Sounds like you did pretty well to me. A staircase is not the place to get into a fight. Glad you didn't have to shoot anyone. But good that you had your gun in case you would have needed it.
I think you did the right thing; not sure I would have done anything differently. I'm glad you didn't go inside your apartment because then they would know exactly where you live.
I think you did well Jeff, not shooting if you dont need to is easier than living with the shooting when you question before hand if its necessary. Sounds to me like they caught your drift and likely drifted off to somewhere that they felt safer! If this is normal where you live, it might be time to look elsewhere for a safer location! If it isnt normal, your probably OK. Glad to hear it turned out well!
Your neighborhood after dark seems like a better place to shop for convenience store items might be at 2pm rather than 2am.
Getting out of a jam is not ideal, staying out of a jam is always superior.
Open carry. Of the items on your person, a bad guy might be interested in, do you suppose a gun would be of interest to them?
Your money, do you keep hundred dollar bills out in the open, hanging from your belt, like a stripper has money hanging from a g string? Of course you don't, that would be tipping your hand to the bad element of your private business.
Your gun is how much more valuable than a $100 bill? Four, five, six times more valuable? More?
What are the possibilities, the likelihood, your sidearm did not protect you from attack, as much as triggered your attack?
The bad guys now know where you live, and can watch you come and go. Your next trip to work, where they know you do not open carry, could see your apartment attacked as they once again try to score a handgun theft, along with whatever else they can find that looks interesting to them.
When you play card games, do you show your hand to other players? You do in your personal life.
Concealed carry, while not pushing the rights of our second amendment, as if to say, I am owed this freedom, does afford a much greater level of privacy.
My advice, what it is worth, take all targets off your back. The world is looking for targets.
Find an NRA Refuse to be a Victim class in your area, and both of you take it.
They also offer Basic Pistol, Personal Protection Inside The Home, and Personal Protection Outside The Home.
With classes like those under your belt, your wife and yourself will better understand the mindset of the criminal element and you can better protect yourselves.
I wouldn't have a good feeling after that. You have no ID on these guys, they just disappeared into the dark. If you were a random target before, you may still be in their sights after this. I would not want to have my family living in a place where I always had to look over my shoulder. Me thinks it is time to relocate.
It sounds like you did the correct thing.
I would seriously consider moving to a different part of town, or even better, out of town all together. It doesn't sound like the area is going to be safe going forward.
Don't just consider your safety, or your family's safety with you around, what if you had not been there for your wife?

WELSH women have the highest levels of self-confidence in the UK, but more than two thirds remain dissatisfied.
A national survey of 2,000 women, commissioned by Tena Lady, asked women of all ages to share their views on confidence and ageing.
Of 12 regions across the UK, Welsh women were the most likely to say they were self-confident.
Astonishingly, that still left 70 per cent who didn't feel confident enough, which doesn't bode well for our readers in Cheshire.
The Leader asked Mold, Wrexham and Chester residents, of any age and gender, whether they felt more confident now than when they were younger, and if they had any burning ambitions they would fulfil – that is, if they had the guts.
Of those who responded, the majority, who represented a range of ages between 18 and 65-plus, said they had grown in confidence over the years.
Out of the 85 people who responded to our survey, 77 per cent said they were more confident now than when they were younger.
Only 16 per cent said they were less confident.
It seems age brings some advantages.
Anthony Cahill, 57, or Wrexham, said: "Age brings a freedom to say what's on your mind.
"At 57 I'm well on the way to achieving grumpy old man status."
Dean Chadwick, 27, is hardly an old duffer, but he believes life experience counts.
He said: "Although I think I've always been perceived as a confident person, I would say it was all a front I put up until I became a dad at 26.
"Then a true sense of confidence in who I am and what I'm about came.
"Despite life slapping you back you got to get through because there's a little mouth that needs feeding and a little heart that needs loving.
"I expect to get more confident but I've still got a long journey left. As a good friend regularly reminds me, you don't know what you don't know."
Louise Evans, 38, of Wrexham, likewise credited her growth in confidence to living life.
She said: "I was confident as a teenager, then from age about 19 to 27-ish I lost it.
"Then I got a job working with teenagers and presenting to groups and it came back. I also feel more secure in myself as person which helps."
Julie Vickers, 42, of Ruabon, had a few caveats.
She said: "I was afraid of nothing at 19. Young and carefree. Now I see the danger so am less likely to take chances. Saying that, I am much more confident in my own skin now I'm older."
A common theme seemed to be that residents became more certain of themselves the more things they experienced.
Going back to the Tena survey, 35 per cent of Welsh women asked plan to write, or already have a "bucket list" of things they want to do in their lives, with 77 per cent planning to go on a trip of a lifetime.
More than half said a lack of confidence has prevented them from achieving something in their lives.
So what would you do, if money and circumstances were no object?
Sarah Hamner, 44, from Wrexham, said: "I've got lots on my bucket list, but my two main ones are to see great white sharks up close and to climb Kilimanjaro."
Carol Large, 41, of Wrexham, was dreaming of a big American trip.
She said: "I'd like to motorbike Route 66, always wanted to swim with sharks and one day I did, but not with great whites as I didn't have a death wish."
Susan Price, 43, of Wrexham, wanted to "win the lottery" and relax in the sun without worrying about the cost of things.
Ian Rowley, of Wrexham, quipped: "A chicken pecked a hole in my bucket. Need to buy a new one."
Delwyn Ellis, 49, of Hope, messaged us online to say "commenting on a local paper's Facebook status" was on his bucket list – so we helped him go one better by having his joke printed in the paper. Kevin Price, 48, of Caerwys, has crossed quite a few things off his list.
"I saw the space shuttle take off in the flesh," he said.
"I've also been surrounded by penguins and swam with dolphins."
Natalie Jayne Jones, 25, said: "I haven't got a bucket list as such but I would love to go to every theme park in the UK and every animal collection in the UK before I die.
"I also want to go to Disneyland Paris or Florida and go on an African safari."
Dorne Price, from Broughton, said: "I'd like to become a competent skier, ride the north wales zip-wire, watch a sunrise over the sea and do a tandem sky dive."
Debbie Bellis, 49, of Mold, has already signed up for one bucket list item and has her fingers crossed.
She said: "I want to run London Marathon. I hope to get in this year, have to wait until October to find out if I have."
Harriet Clayton, 24, of Garden Village, Wrexham, has only just started building her bucket list.
She said: "I haven't got a bucket list and would like to start one. My first entry would be to visit Japan as it's something I've always wanted to do."
Leader features editor Jo Shone described her life as "one big bucket list".
She said: "I started crossing out my bucket list at 40. In the decade up to 50. I had flown a plane, albeit one jittery lesson over Winter Hill, abseiled 100ft off a tall building for Macmillan Nurses, kayaked down the Symond's Yat on the River Wye, flown in a hot air balloon, taken part in a pantomime and invested in a course of guitar lessons.
"Since then I have become a grandmother, been to the Arctic, seen a polar bear in the wild and several species of whale, and have started writing a book."
She added she still had to see the Northern Lights and learn to play piano, but seeing her sons and family happy, healthy and secure meant more than anything on her list.

MS1187969121 OCT, 2008ok, i made this with a roasted chicken that you purchase from the deli. I deboned the meat off the chicken and than did the same thing they did with the duck bones to make the brown stock. Everything else i did the same and it was delish. My husband and my sons girlfriend both ate and loved it and my husband who does not care for squash ate the pumpkin and enjoyed it.Reply
SFBayGardenGirl20 OCT, 2008This tasted great - I didn't have duck meat or pumpkin on hand, so I just did a parmesan risotto, but it was my first time making it and it turned out fantastic. Thanks!Reply

In an attempt to increase the depth of the blue line, the Philadelphia Flyers signed Michael Del Zotto to a one-year, $1.3 million.
This move comes on the heels of learning that Kimmo Timonen will be out indefinitely due to blood clots in his leg and lungs. With Timonen's immediate future up in the air, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall responded quickly with this move. The former New York Ranger and Nashville Predator will have a chance to re-ignite his once-promising career with the Flyers.
The 24-year-old Del Zotto is an offensive defenseman and a good skater. He can move the puck easily up the ice, and he possesses great speed. It's really a low-risk, high-reward move for the Flyers, and it's one that could pay off for them this year. He may be young, but he has plenty of experience playing in high intensity situations and the playoffs.
Given the difficult situation that presented itself earlier with Kimmo Timonen's health, there wasn't a better move for Hextall to make. Sure, there were other, veteran options out there, but none of them have the upside of Del Zotto. The great thing about this contract is that if it doesn't work out and Del Zotto becomes a problem in the locker room, then he won't play, and Craig Berube will make sure of that. The Flyers have a number of high quality defensive prospects who will see the ice this year, so while the Flyers don't have a "great" defenseman, they have a stable of young, quality defenseman.
Seeing your team play in the SuperBowl is priceless. Watching the SuperBowl live in the stands for $1 per week is beyond priceless. Find out how at TicketScore.com, the future of Championship Tickets.

Traffic on the bridge crawled past in one lane as FHP, Jacksonville Fire-Rescue, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office marine unit and divers, a boat and helicopter from the Coast Guard and boats from the Navy and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were all called to search for any survivors.

Artesha Toliver said she was driving just one car behind the crash when it happened: "I witnessed the vehicle going into the water," Toliver said. "I was driving with me and my son in the car and all of a sudden I heard a boom, and it was like a smaller car and a black truck was trying to get over at the same time, and the truck ended up hitting the smaller car, and the smaller car actually went as it was going on the left side and it kind of spinned and went over that way. Then the truck ended up losing control. And once it lost control -- there were other cars -- I don't know if it hit the other car, but all I saw was that the truck went over the barrier."

"It was almost like it was bottoms up and it dropped into the water," she said. "It was a black truck and it was very scary because it was one car away from me. Another car would've gotten hit but it kind of deterred and didn't get hit, so I didn't get hit as well -- me and my 9-year-old son, we were in the car. It was devastating to see the actual black truck just drop over the bridge. It was a serious sight to see."

The Bucky Barnes of 'Captain America: The First Avenger' will guest star as the 'Alice in Wonderland' character in a March episode of the ABC drama.
When "Once Upon a Time" visits "Alice in Wonderland" in an upcoming episode, "Gossip Girl" alum Sebastian Stan will appear as Mad Hatter. His take on the famous character has now been teased in two newly-released photos.
One of the pictures sees Stan's Mad Hatter standing among some kids, while in another image, he is featured in a place full of hats. Dishing on the Wonderland-themed episode, executive producer Edward Kitsis has said, "In that episode, we find out how the Mad Hatter became mad."
Wonderland on "Once" will be a bit different from the original tale as Kitsis shared, "The first difference you'll notice is who the Mad Hatter was and his backstory." He went on explaining, "Then what Wonderland is and the changes of it is something we hope to explore also. We're hoping this tells you the story of the Mad Hatter, but also will leave you with questions about Wonderland."
Titled "Hat Trick", the episode featuring Stan will air March 25 at 8/7c on ABC. Roger Daltrey of The Who will lend his voice to the hookah-smoking Caterpillar.

long range recommendations
Good morning guys and gals. I'm looking for a little help on this one and figured somwone here could help. I'm looking to get into some of the long range competitions at my local gun club and nothing I have currently has that long of reach. I think the longest shot they take is up to about 750 yards. I'm looking for something that isn't going to break the bank but still be as accurate as possible. My budget is $1000 $1200 including ammo. I know that isn't much considering optics are expensive but I figured if anyone would have any ideas it would be someone here. Thanks for your help.
Get a Remington 700 or 770 in .308 or a Mossberg 4x4 in .308 and spend the rest of your money on a quality optic. Something like the Vortex Viper.
1 Attachment(s)
Attachment 122160
I was thinking about the rem 700 but I do like savage. What model would you recommend from savage?
You can get the Savage 11 Trophy Hunter XP with a Nikon 3-9x40 BDC scope for $575.
Are you looking to use the rifle for anything besides competition? Also, are you going to be handloading for it, or just shooting factory ammo?
Don't buy a 770! When will people learn? Every person I know who knows anything about rifles has warned people to stay away from them, yet they continue to sell, and end up filling up the gun racks at local pawn shops in no time. Spend a few extra bucks and get a real gun Remington quality has been in the dumpster for several years now, if you want a real Remington get an older 700.

Jim Williams' contributions to EDN
Jim Williams was a staff scientist at Linear Technology Corp, where he specialized in analog-circuit and instrumentation design. He served in similar capacities at National Semiconductor, Arthur D Little, and the Instrumentation Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A former student at Detroit's Wayne State University, Williams enjoyed sports cars, art, collecting antique scientific instruments, sculpture, and restoring old Tektronix oscilloscopes.
Williams' long and productive association with EDN started in 1975. (In his 2005 article entitled "Something from nothing," he relayed the pain involved in developing each article.) This archive page, though impressive, merely encompasses Williams' output since 1994; EDN content prior to that is not (yet) digitized.
At 63 years of age, Williams passed away in June 2011 after a stroke. EDN's audience honored Williams' life and work in this obituary celebrating the contributions he made to engineering, analog, and the world.
In addition to reader accolades, articles by Williams have received frequent honors in the Best Contributed Article category in EDN's annual awards, including "Minimizing switching-regulator residue in linear-regulator outputs" (2005), "The taming of the slew" (2003), "Designing instrumentation circuitry with rms/dc converters" (2007), and "Simple circuitry for cellular-telephone/camera-flash illumination" (2004). EDN's ACE Awards now present the Jim Williams Contributor of the Year award annually.
This collection features all of Williams' contributions to EDN that are online as well as more recent coverage of the analog great.

Athens' First Accessible Playground Open< < Back to
After three years in the making, Athens now has a playground accessible to nearly everyone. Athens Rotary Club and community members gathered at the playground Monday afternoon for the grand opening.
The Athens Rotary Southside Accessible Playground is the first of its kind in Athens.
The playground, which is located on Dairy Lane and Richland Avenue, is complete with swings, ramps, playground equipment and rubber surfacing that makes playtime possible for average children and for those with various physical and developmental disabilities.
The new equipment even makes it easier for adults who may have physical disabilities or be confined to wheelchairs. The sidewalk on Richland Avenue and the bike path now go through the park, as well, states a news release.
Jody Harris, past president of Rotary Club and chairwoman of the Southside Accessible Playground Committee, listed contributions from organizations such as Sisters of St. Joseph Charitable Fund, Athens Foundation, O'Bleness Foundation and Friends of India Endowment, along with many more.
The Rotary Club raised $97,000 for the project. To further beautify the park, the Athens Rotary teamed up with Project Plant to create the Dr. Ram Gawande Memorial Garden. Gawande was a Rotary Club president and district governor.
"I think it turned out wonderful," Harris said.
Harris said she has been working with people with disabilities her whole life. When she heard the Rotary Club in Cambridge had an accessible playground, she was inspired to build one in Athens.
"This is why I love Athens," said Mayor Paul Wiehl. "This is what we want to be. We want to be unique. We want to be a community that feels good about itself, that works towards and strives to make it an inclusive city."
Wiehl said that he wants every Athens facility to work for everybody.
Harris said that the rubber surfacing on the playground is what really makes it accessible for everyone.

Dull and Dreary
It was another day of very lackluster holiday trading. We didn't have any big rush for the exits but there was a slow drip of selling all day and no real buying interest. What bothers me most about this market is that there hasn't been any real trading action. Normally in thin trading like this there are a few things of interest, but traders don't seem to have any interest, which means we don't have any pockets of activity.
This has been going on for weeks but the only thing that continues to matter in the near-term is the fiscal cliff. We had selling pressure today because there was no news of any progress. In fact, there seem to some worries that the politicians won't even manage some limited deal to kick the can down the road for a few weeks....147 more words left in this article.

A DETERMINED mum is skydiving with a group of friends to raise £10,000 for the charity supporting her seriously- ill son.
Dawn Pisani is trying to raise the cash after her son, Joey, was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Mrs Pisani, who lives on Canvey, says the Indee Rose Trust has helped her family immensely and she believes it is time to give something back.
The illness left the four-yearold blind in his left eye and he also suffers with low bone density meaning he will receive hormone replacement therapy and growth hormone injections for the rest of his life.
Mum-of-two Mrs Pisani, 38, has started a fundraising campaign in a bid to raise £10,000 for the trust and is hoping others will help her reach the target.
She said: "I started this all because of Joey, just to say thank you for all their support. It would be fantastic if we can support this local charity. They do so much for others."
Mrs Pisani, who also has a fiveyear- old daughter, Amelia, has already raised more than £3,000 with the help of her friends despite starting the campaign last month.
Little Tewkes nursery in Dovervelt Road and St Joseph's Catholic School, in Vaagen Road, held fancy dress days to raise money for the worthy cause.
Mrs Pisani has also organised a skydive with 25 friends and a fire walk event through the island next month.
Since being diagnosed with the tumour in October 2011, Joey has been sent a personalised treasure box from the Indee Rose Trust and the family also have free access to the charity's holiday home in Kent.
The trust, based on Canvey, was set up in memory of Indee Rose Dopson, who died aged three from an inoperable brain tumour, in June 2009.
Mrs Pisani has already signed up more than 100 people on Canvey to join the campaign and is hoping more will follow to help help her reach the target.
She said: "It's a brilliant charity.
"My campaign is all about local people getting together and pulling together to raise money for a local charity."

Adele Mayne in her official U.S. Navy photograph. Related: Photo slide show at end of story
When the 60 members of the U.S. Navy Concert Band arrived in Greeley for their March 1 performance at the Union Colony Civic Center, only one of them - its newest member - was looking forward to renewing connections she made while attending and teaching at the University of Northern Colorado.
Adele Mayne knew that she wanted to play the clarinet in a military band even before she earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees in music from UNC.
The seed was planted when she heard about some of the 20-plus graduates from UNC's music programs known to have gone on to play with one of the nation's military bands. They include Lowell Graham, who in 2002 finished a 30-year career with the U.S. Air Force Band as its conductor.
Then shortly before she finished her bachelor's degree in 2007, she attended a Navy Band concert in Denver with UNC Associate Director of Bands Dick Mayne, who's her father-in-law. The seed germinated.
Adele, who started the clarinet in fifth grade, spent the next three years developing her skills by performing throughout Colorado. She was principal clarinetist of the Boulder Chamber Orchestra and performed regularly with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Colorado Springs Philharmonic, Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra and Cheyenne Symphony.
In 2011, the seed bloomed. That's when, after returning to UNC and earning her master's in Instrumental Performance, she was hired as a clarinet instructor in the School of Music and met fellow clarinet instructor and UNC alumna Lauren Jacobson, who'd just completed four years as a member of the U.S Marine Band.
"That's what really had the most impact on my decision," Mayne remembered during a recent telephone interview. "Lauren inspired me to achieve my goal."
So when a rare opening in the Navy Concert Band came up - members receive a permanent duty assignment and most complete at least a 20-year Navy career with the band - Mayne traveled to Washington, D.C., to audition along with what she estimates were 50 other clarinetists.
When she was notified that she'd been selected for the band, Mayne already knew how to find the Navy recruiting office in Greeley and she didn't waste any time enlisting.
But before she could take a coveted seat in the band's woodwind section, she had to pass the same medical physical and go through the same nine-week basic training, or boot camp, required of any Navy enlistee.
Last summer, Mayne and her husband moved to Washington D.C., and she reported for duty at the band's home at the Washington Navy Yard on the banks of the Potomac River. Goal achieved.
In addition to touring one of five designated regions of the U.S. each year, the band performs concerts in the D.C. area, including Virginia and Maryland. Many of them are part of its Music in the Schools program and are held in middle and high schools in the region.
Members of the Concert Band also make up the Navy's Ceremonial Band, which performs music at official military and government events, including funerals at Arlington National Cemetery.
"Playing at Arlington is very special," Mayne said. "It's the best part of my job."
The band's current tour, which started Feb. 12 in Seattle and includes 18 performances in 20 days, included stops at Disneyland and the University of Nevada-Las Vegas before reaching Greeley. It ends with concerts in Denver on March 2 and Longmont on March 3.
It was pure coincidence that Mayne's first tour with the band is bringing her back to Colorado and Mayne is taking advantage of the the opportunity to return to her home state for the first time in nine months. She's scheduled her first leave to start after the tour's final performance and is looking forward to visiting friends, former students and in-laws in Greeley and spending time with the many friends and family members she has in Colorado Springs.
But as soon as the last good-bye is said before flying back to D.C., Mayne will be looking forward with excitement to her next concert.
"I'm proud and happy to be a member of the U.S. Navy," Mayne said. "I hope to be in the band forever; to make a career out of it."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here are 10 things you should know for Wednesday, Oct. 2: 1. -- U.S. stock futures were pointing to losses on Wall Street on Wednesday as the U.S. government shutdown enters a second day. European stocks were trading to the downside early Wednesday. Asian shares finished the session mostly higher, but Japan's Nikkei 225 index declined 2.2% after the government announced it would go ahead with a sales tax increase in April.
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. Wednesday includes the ADP Employment Change index for September at 8:15 a.m. EDT.
3. -- U.S. stocks on Tuesday rose as investors embraced signs of growth in manufacturing while betting that House Republicans will eventually cut a deal with the Democrat-led Senate to end the government's partial shutdown. The S&P 500 gained 0.8% to close at 1,695.00 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.4% to finish at 15,191.70. The Nasdaq ended the trading day up 1.2% to 3,817.98.
4. -- The partial U.S. government shutdown shows no signs of ending Wednesday, leaving national parks, the Veterans Affairs Department and city services in Washington, D.C., essentially closed. Lawmakers in both the Republican and Democrat parties suggested the partial shutdown might last for weeks. A funding cutoff for much of the government began Tuesday as a GOP effort to kill or delay the nation's health care law stalled action on a short-term, traditionally routine spending bill. Even as many government agencies closed their doors, health insurance exchanges that are at the core of President Barack Obama's health care law were up and running, taking applications for coverage that would start Jan. 1. "Shutting down our government doesn't accomplish their stated goal," Obama said of his Republican opponents at a Rose Garden event hailing implementation of the law. "The Affordable Care Act is a law that passed the House; it passed the Senate. The Supreme Court ruled it constitutional. It was a central issue in last year's election. It is settled, and it is here to stay. And because of its funding sources, it's not impacted by a government shutdown."
5. -- Three of the top 20 investors in Microsoft ( MSFT) are lobbying the software company's board to press for Bill Gates to step down as chairman, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with matter. Gates co-founded Microsoft 38 years ago. The move appears to be the first time that major shareholders are taking aim at Gates, Reuters noted, for the company's performance and share price. The three investors are concerned that Gates' role as chairman blocks the adoption of new strategies and would limit the power of a new CEO to make substantial changes. CEO Steve Ballmer said in August he would retire within 12 months. A Microsoft representative declined to comment for Reuters on Tuesday. There is no indication that Microsoft's board would heed the wishes of the three investors, who collectively hold more than 5% of the company's stock, according to the sources, Reuters reported. Gates owns about 4.5% of the company and is its largest individual shareholder.
6. -- New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman is preparing a lawsuit against Wells Fargo ( WFC), accusing the bank, the nation's largest home lender, of violating the terms of a multibillion-dollar settlement aimed at stanching foreclosure abuses, The New York Times reported. The lawsuit, which is expected to be filed as early as Wednesday, accuses Wells Fargo of violating the guidelines of a broad agreement reached last year between five of the nation's largest banks and 49 state attorneys general, the Times reported. Under that deal, the banks must comply with 304 servicing standards. The guidelines map out how banks should field and process requests from distressed homeowners, the Times noted. A spokeswoman for Wells Fargo told the Times the bank hadn't been served with a copy of the lawsuit. But, she added, "if true, it is very disappointing that the New York attorney general continues to pursue his course, given our commitment to the terms of the National Mortgage Settlement and ongoing engagement."
7. -- Bank of America ( BAC), however, won't be sued by Schneiderman, who said he's dropping a similar action against Bank of America because the bank agreed to reforms of its lending system. "We're pleased with the significant assistance Bank of America has extended, and continues to extend, to homeowners through the National Mortgage Settlement, and we will continue working with attorneys general nationwide to continually improve the experience for customers eligible for these important programs," Bank of America spokesman Dan Frahm said.

Former Dictators Drummer Richard Teeter Dead at 61
Richie Teeter, former drummer of legendary New York rockers the Dictators, has died at age 61. A posting on the band's official website simply says "Sad news to report on the passing of the former Dictators drummer. Rest in peace, brother. More to come …"
The Dictators were the missing link between the proto-punk of bands like the the Stooges and the MC5, and the first wave of CBGB's bands like the Ramones and Blondie. Formed in 1973 in New York City, the Dictators were the brainchild of ace songwriter Andy Shernoff and also featured the exceptionally fantastic Ross "the Boss" on lead guitar, and roadie turned singer Handsome Dick Manitoba.
Teeter joined the band soon after the release of their groundbreaking 1975 debut album 'Go Girl Crazy.' He would stick with them for two more albums, 1977's 'Manifest Destiny' and the super-charged hard rock of 1978's 'Bloodbrothers.' Side note – some guy named Bruce Springsteen actually sings uncredited backup vocals on the latter record.
The group split up soon after that record fizzled on the charts, and Teeter briefly joined Twisted Sister in the early '80s. The Dictators would reunite over the years, but without Teeter, who had maintained a very low profile over the years. If you like hard rock with pop sensibilities and a sense of humor, you should seek out all of the band's records, by all means!

Damsel in destress
Lost in Beirut
.... HAVE you ever been lost in a foreign country? the concept of getting lost is foreign to me, this is not beacuse I have a good sense of direction. I get lost all the time, I take the wrong bus; train;taxi and get lost when driving home etc. I have gotten lost so many times I have stopped counting it. As humans we have different ways on dealing with ourseslves when lost. Some people panic and and assume that just because they are not where they intended to be the world is coming to an end. Some people think that just because they are lost and are panicing, other people should share in the destress they are going through (they keep asking you where is this bus going? am I lost??) some make sudden dicisions to get off the mode of transport if possible. I doubt you can get off a moving train or a flight, let me say you might get off but not live to tell the story. I once saw a woman who took a train from London to Manchester but I gues that was a correct train for me but the wrong train for her. As she realised that she was on the wrong train she walked down the aisle to the train driver's end. Upon arrival she banged on the door and screamed 'get me off'. I didn't know whether to laugh or sympathise with her, but since I am easy going in nature laughing was the ultimate thing. I think her attempts to get off could have worked if she was on a bus and pressed the getting off on the next station button. My theory about getting lost when travelling is as follows: if I take transport from point A intending to go to point B, If I realise that my transport is going to point C I just relax and wait for the transport to reach Point C and then take transport back to point A. When reaching Point A I start the whole process again. This works well when you are on the bus,taxi etc. I learnth it the hard way that this thoery does apply in certain situations but shouldn't be generalised. When in Beirut (Lebanon) I decided to take a minibus instead of a taxi from Beirut city centre to my hotel. The area I was staying at is Gemeezeye, I told the bus driver that I am going to Gemezeeye that is what I assume I told him, lesson learned is I should keep my Arrabic to 'Salam, shokran etc nothing more. The bus driver told me I could get on the bus and I waited for the bus to be full when it was full I paid my fare. The journey started off and I saw the bus approaching my destination.. 30 min later I realised that my destination was on my side and then before long it was behind me. In my confused state of which at this point I wish I was impulsive and gotten off,I stayed on the bus. My reasoning was that I was lost so I just need to pay the fare again and get back to where the bus driver took me from. The one thing I didn't realise is that this was a last bus going to some area outside Beirut and the next bus to Beirut was the next morning. The bus driver looked at me wondering where to drop me. I just shrugged my shoulders and started laughing. Luckly he was a man who could read between the lines because he realised that I was lost and started smilling back at me. I can't really be sure why he smilled so much because he started mentioning that his house is around the area and I should give him my number for when am in Lebanon next time. Our final stop was an area on top of a mountain where I couldn't see a car following us nor any sign of a hotel.I came out of the bus and just stood outside admiring the nature and mountainious area around me. This time I could have started crying or even jumped off the cliff since I just didn't know how I got there nor how I will be able to get back to Beirut. I then realised that I need atleast to be halfway to Beirut.I then remembered that this driver has just asked for my number, I then decided to play the 'Damsel' in destress card and it worked wonders. I started telling the driver that I need to get to Beirut and I decided to take his number promising him that I will call him. He was impressed with that and drove me halfway to my destination. Since it was late I had to wait in his bus until a bus come. Finally I did get a bus to Beirut and it passed outside my hotel. How wonderful a journey which could have taken me 20min took me 4 hours.. WHAT IS YOUR THEORY ABOUT GETTING LOST WHEN BACKPACKING?

Boi-1da says Drake opened doors for Canadian hip-hop artists [Article]
Toronto, ON – Drake has pretty much introduced Canadian hip-hop to the mainstream, and according to fellow Toronoto native and producer Boi-1da, the country has a lot of talent that will finally get some shine.
Although crediting American producers like Dr. Dre and Timbaland for influencing his own skills, Boi-1da showed his pride for Canadian music, but admitted that the hip-hop scene in the country is still in its infancy. "The hip-hop in Canada is still, the music industry out here is still in a developing stage," he told The BoomBox. "The scene is still growing. That's the difference. The Americans, they always had the machine running."
"Although we have had hip-hop artists," Boi-1da continued. "Drake is the first person to ever break out on the hip-hop scene from Canada [on a large scale]. The scene is very nice and a lot of people are going to start taking notice to it because there's a lot of talent in Canada."
Noting that Canadian artists like Kim Davis, August, Luu Breeze, and 808 Gang, have yet to gain footing in the states, Boi-1da theorized that Drake's success will make American audiences more apt to giving Canada a shot. "We're just thankful that Drake and the whole team was able to open doors for people in Canada and create opportunities because it's a gold mine of talent and I think it's finally going to get recognized."

Drake never brought out Toronto hip hop, he's not even Toronto hip hop, he just a pop singer like justin timberlake or lady gaga.
Toronto has much better talent then Drake

LAMPS PLUS Blog Policies
Having worked in Design Television for over a decade, I have a sincere appreciation for "old school" design shows -- you know, the ones that educated as well as entertained.
Someone that I have admired for several years is Sarah Richardson. She has that girl-next-door likeability and is able to easily communicate and explain her process. She and her design associate, Tommy Smythe, make great "old school" Design Television.
Just in time for our summer inspiration, HGTV is bringing us a new series where Sarah and Tommy are renovating Sarah's summer house -- hence, the title of the show.
The first episode was jam-packed with tips from mixing patterned fabrics to white-washing knotty pine walls. It even included a little drama when Sarah selected two different window styles for the exterior of the cottage.
It is truly special to see a designer engaging the audience in her real process -- mistakes and all. Sarah and Tommy will entertain and, yes, educate too. Here are a few of the rooms from Sarah's Summer Cottage.
The dining room is a wash of subtle sun-drenched colors which accentuate the stone fireplace as the room's focal point. The candelabra chandelier can be raised and lowered through the use of a pulley which is attached to the ceiling.
Here are a few of my candle chandelier picks that have a similar look. Click on the image for more information.
A few more tips from the show.
In this bedroom, the colors mimic the lake. From aqua blues to algae greens, they emulate the tranquil setting. The room has the feel that it has evolved over time.
One of the elements that creates this feeling is the bedside task lamp. Its vintage look and weathered patina exudes the feeling that it has been in the family for a while.
Here are a few task lamps that have vintage appeal -- like the one in the bedroom. All you have to do is click on the image for more information.
Sarah's Summer Cottage airs on HGTV, Saturdays at 8:00 pm.

Sarah's designs are super! She is a very gifted designer.

YOUNGSTERS at a Basingstoke school made their own kites before taking them to the air.
The kite-flying day took place at South View Junior School, and parents of the pupils were invited to watch their efforts.
Each year group spent an hour out on the school playing fields, in Shooters Way, South View, having built the kites using kits bought by the school.
The children ran across the field trying to get their kites to rise as high as possible.
Sue McLaughlan, the Year 6 teacher who organised the day, said it followed a similar event that the school staged four years ago.
She said: "Everyone came back in and said what fun they had. The looks on some of the children's faces has been nice to see."

Advisor Name Title Stephen David Beck Committee Chair Dinos Constantinides Committee Member Jeffrey Perry Committee Member Robert Peck Committee Member Robert Carney Dean's Representative Keywords
- kubla
- crumb
- amazing grace
- concerto
- guitar
- composition
Date of Defense 2007-10-29 Availability unrestricted AbstractVestiges of Kubla is scored for the following instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, timpani, 3 percussionist, guitar, and strings. Structured differently than a traditional concerto form, the overall architecture of the work is a large-scale sonata-allegro form in which the first movement is an exposition, the second movement is a slow development, and the third movement is a recapitulation of musical ideas from in the first, followed by a concluding coda. Although the concerto is unified by thematic, motific, and harmonic content presented in the first movement - derived from an extended guitar chord with Lydian tendencies (E-B-E-A#-B-E, reduced to E-B-A#) - additional but related musical ideas are incorporated in the second and third movements.
The second part of the dissertation is an analysis of George Crumb's Quest (1994) for guitar, soprano saxophone, harp, contrabass, and percussion. This analysis explores and ultimately reveals how the guitar's standard string tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E), along with the intervallic qualities from a musical quotation (the popular hymn tune Amazing Grace), influences and generates Crumb's entire compositional process in this work. The analysis also briefly explores additional elements, form and symbolism, that define Crumb's musical style.

Deer numbers look good for Saturday's gun opener
Deer hunting should be good when Minnesota's firearms hunting season opens Saturday, November 9.
That's the word from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), whose biologists report deer populations are stable across much of the state.
"Minnesota's deer population is largely stable in the southern half of the state because of mild winters and generally conservative deer management," Leslie McInenly, the DNR's big game program leader, said in a statement issued by the DNR. "Mild winters result in more survival of adults, more fawns being born, and more deer in the state's fields and forests the following hunting season."
Numbers may have even risen slightly through much of Douglas, Pope, Traverse, Stevens and Grant counties, according to Glenwood Area Wildlife Manager Kevin Kotts.
"I think in general in our five-county work area, deer herds have grown a bit from last year," Kotts said.
Permit zones in the area range from management to lottery and hunters' choice areas. Management areas, which allow a hunter to take two deer but only one buck, are in areas 218, 215, 214 and 240. Areas 273, 213 and 239 are hunters' choice zones and those south of that are lottery areas.
Kotts did get reports of some young deer dying as a result of this past winter. But fawn production has been good for adult does that came through the winter just fine.
"I know there are some singles, but I've seen quite a few doubles, too," Kotts said of what he has seen in the woods himself from bow hunting this fall. "We did have a little bit of mortality late last winter, but usually those were young deer. Those would be the ones you would expect to die before the end of a long winter. We weren't hearing reports of adult deer dying."
Hunters may find farmland conditions more challenging due to this year's later corn harvest, which results in a substantial amount of standing corn. Last year, Minnesota's nearly 500,000 deer hunters harvested 186,000 deer. A similar harvest is expected this year.
"I think people will have a decent opener," Kotts said. "It's always hard to predict. A lot depends on whether there is standing corn or not. Although I know farmers are working hard to get their corn harvested."
McInenly said deer permit management designations that limit hunters to one, two or five deer largely are the same as last year statewide. The limits reflect the department's interest in rebuilding or maintaining the deer herd in certain portions of the state by managing the harvest.
Based on 2013 population estimates, almost 80 percent of permit areas are at population goal. Antlerless and bonus deer permit availability decreases as overly abundant populations are brought into line with department goals.
Minnesota's deer harvest has varied widely over the past half century. In a historical context, too many deer were taken during the 1960s, forcing the closure of the deer season in 1971 and a rebuilding of the deer herd from the 1970s through the 1990s.
The highest deer harvest occurred in 2003, when 290,000 deer were taken as part of an effort to reduce the deer herd. Today, the DNR manages the deer population based on goals established with public input.
"As the state's deer population has been reduced to meet goals, more consistent and moderate harvests are anticipated," McInenly said. "That said, population goals in some places were established nearly 10 years ago and the DNR is initiating a public process to revisit goals for permit areas statewide during the next few years."
This year's opener is later than most years in Minnesota. That means the chances of finding whitetails in the rut should be better as hunters take to the woods with anticipation on Saturday morning.
"I think, kind of across the board, not in each and every permit area, but in general, I'm thinking there are more deer out there," Kotts said. "So now we will find out how people are doing."

Body pulled from Fraser River still not identified
Chilliwack RCMP are still trying to identify a body pulled from the Fraser River Monday morning.
"The coroner's office is investigating in order to positively identify the body, which could take some time," RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said Wednesday.
Until a positive ID is made, she said, there are few details the police could confirm.
"We're hoping the coroner will be able to provide more answers," she said.
A fishing guide spotted the body floating near the confluence of the Harrison and Fraser rivers at about 9 a.m. Monday.
The Kent Search and Rescue team was called to help recover the body, which is currently awaiting autopsy.
Police are checking missing person reports as part of their investigation.

Sony Xperia Z2 vs HTC One: first look
20 Comments
1. Kishin (Posts: 706; Member since: 30 May 2013)
2 out 3 best looking phones...
2. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Obviously the Z2 takes the cake.
3. AliNSiddiqui (Posts: 382; Member since: 19 Sep 2012)
Depends on the person, HTC One takes it for me.
7. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Not with that terrible camera it doesn't.
9. jellmoo (Posts: 2035; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
I think it really depends on what you value though. The camera on the One isn't stellar, sure, but the size of the Z2 is a pretty big turnoff as well. It has phabletesque size without the benefits.
Ultimately, it's too hard to tell until we actually get our hands on these devices. Plus the real comparison will be made when the sequel to the One is announced.
14. hboy857 (Posts: 349; Member since: 03 Jun 2013)
Yeah, a terrible camera that s4 couldn't beat.
4. Astoni (Posts: 649; Member since: 28 Sep 2013)
HTC one Imo, i own the z1 and in terms of holding it in the hand is pretty horrible compared to other devices, and z2 is even bigger.. Sheer power z2 wins but we'll have to see HTC m8 specs first to know :p.
5. s_boy (Posts: 20; Member since: 30 Nov 2013)
Phones are getting ridiculously big now, entering phablet territory for a the standard flag-ship sized phone.
6. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
it is a beautiful phone :D I just love the fact is water proof!!
8. Amir1 (unregistered)
the so called "best phone of 2013" (by some reviewers) just got OWNED by Z2. in everything.
10. datphoneguy (Posts: 155; Member since: 15 Sep 2013)
HTC's screen STILL looks better than the Z2's IMO.
17. fireblade (Posts: 717; Member since: 27 Dec 2013)
One is just better in term of pixel density. Z2 wins in color reproduction
11. Leonis (Posts: 338; Member since: 08 Jan 2014)
Man get z2 compact out close to this z2 launch because it is too big even for me who is an Sony fanboy. Hopefully HTC One 2 show how good a phone can be without being so damn big. i know its not waterproof but I take a smaller device over this giant.
13. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
Sony already show you "how good a phone can be without being so damn big."
And I'm sure my Z1 Compact is still good enough to compete with HTC One 2.
12. tyger11 (Posts: 194; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Does the Z2's camera have optical image stabilization? That was the major lack in the camera in the Z1, and I've not heard anyone talking about this for the Z2 yet.
15. Dante216 (Posts: 32; Member since: 18 Dec 2013)
How many times is Sony gonna put out the exact same phone with the exact same crappy UI?
16. deathgod (Posts: 122; Member since: 23 Nov 2011)
I'd like it if PhoneArena could add how the display looks at full brightness to its handson/preview/review articles. Like for instance when you're watching a movie or youtube video and need to turn up the brightness, do the colors become washed out? Do the blacks become bright gray or do they retain most of their darkeness.
18. jesuskz (Posts: 5; Member since: 05 Nov 2011)
I'm not sure if phonearena posted this yet but I just checked my Att htc one and its downloading the kitkat update.

OTTAWA -- Manitoba's unemployment rate improved in May, falling to 5.7 per cent from 5.8 per cent in April.
According to Statistics Canada, the province produced 3,000 new jobs in the month, all full-time positions, though there was also a reported decline of 2,200 part-time jobs.
The increase last month makes up for some of the losses reported in Manitoba in April, when the federal agency said Manitoba lost 11,100 jobs.
In May, the big winners in this province were agriculture, with 2,800 new jobs; finance, insurance and real estate with 2,100 additional positions; and trade, transportation and warehousing, which each produced 1,700 new positions.
According to Statistics Canada, manufacturing lost 3,900 jobs in the province last month.
The Canadian economy had the biggest month of employment growth in more than a decade in May, creating 95,000 new jobs.
Historically, it was the second-biggest job creation month in 35 years -- just 100 lower than August 2002.
The number was so shocking economists and Prime Minister Stephen Harper cautioned the Statistics Canada monthly reports are subject to wide margins of error.
"We don't obviously want to pay too much attention to what happens month to month, because we know this is very volatile, but the Canadian economy is now up to about a million net new jobs created since the recession," he said at a photo event in Ottawa.
"We obviously know that's one of the best records in the developed world."
Taken as reported, the massive gain was the first major improvement of 2013 and many times greater than economists had expected, dropping the unemployment rate one-tenth of a point to 7.1 per cent.
There was little to quibble about in the details of the Statistics Canada report.
All the new jobs came in the private sector and in the employee class -- rather than the less desirable self-employment category -- and 76,700 of them were full-time.
Even young people had an easier time finding employment in May, with about 54,000 of the new workers in the 15-to-24 age group joining the labour force. That drove down the youth unemployment rate to 13.6 per cent, almost a full point lower than April.
"There's no question this report is absolutely spectacular," said Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter. "Even some of the details were incredible... so it doesn't look like it was a complete outlier.
"But I would add a couple of notes of caution. I would sincerely doubt we are going to see anything close to this repeated in the months ahead, and the other thing, it did follow a real period of weakness."
