KERNERSVILLE, N.C. -- The door to the conference room cracked just a hair and a Chihuahua wearing a knit sweater ran in. The man at the head of the table plucked up the tiny dog in mid-sentence and gently cuddled it in his arms as he talked about the recent death of another pet and destroying the kitchen while preparing a seafood dinner for his wife.
"I tried to get it all cleaned up before she got home, but it didn't work out," Kevin Harvick said as he stroked Lo's head.
This hardly is the image one normally has of the man whose steely-eyed stare behind the wheel of a stock car or truck is as intense as that of a boxer trying to intimidate an opponent before a bout.
He's so focused at the track that autograph-seeking fans and even friends often are passed without him realizing they're there. He's sometimes so short with reporters that one recently wrote he hates the media.
It's not hate. Harvick is just so intent on being the best that everything outside the car is an unnecessary distraction that he doesn't deal with as well as others. It's a passion that stirred some controversy last season when there were reports that he wanted out of his contract with Richard Childress Racing because the performance of the organization was underwhelming.
It's that same passion that has Harvick atop the Sprint Cup standings and looking like a championship contender heading into the fourth race of the season, at Atlanta Motor Speedway where, in 2001, he captured his first victory.
But there is a soft and funny side to Harvick, one that many don't see within the confines of soft walls and grandstands. Shortly after this interview he duct-taped an employee to a chair. He once filled his father-in-law's pickup truck with 500 bouncy balls.
In many ways Harvick is like the legend he replaced in 2001, always pulling pranks, doing charitable work, totally unselfish things that never get mentioned and -- as far as he's concerned -- don't need to be.
"There's two different people," Harvick explained. "When I'm at the racetrack I have some responsibilities, but it's my job and ultimate responsibility to get everything I can out of that particular vehicle on that particular weekend.
"So it doesn't bother me if somebody says, 'Hey, stop and sign an autograph,' and you don't. It's my job to go out and perform on the track. Here I'm a lot more relaxed."
"Here" is Kevin Harvick Inc., the 80,000-square foot Truck and Nationwide Series race shop in Kernersville that Harvick calls his hobby. The 34-year-old native Californian spends more time here than he does at his home 15 minutes away.
It's like a haven, far away from most other shops close to Charlotte, a place to escape the pressures of the Cup world and everything that goes with it.
It's here that one understands why Harvick became so disenchanted with RCR last season. Here he stays a step ahead of the competition, willing to sell equipment to anybody with a checkbook because that means building another car or truck better than the previous one.
Every truck his team puts on the track Saturday at AMS will be new. The same for every car that will compete when the Nationwide Series resumes next week at Bristol.
That wasn't always the case last season at RCR, which failed to win a race or put a driver in the Chase while Harvick's truck team with Ron Hornaday Jr. at the wheel won the championship and his Nationwide car won two events.
"The biggest change this year [at RCR] is we have a whole fleet of good cars," said Harvick, who has finished second in the past two Cup races. "Last year, we had a few here and there. That's why you saw a lot of the inconsistency we had.
"A lot of times you're only as good as what you drive. That is very apparent. I'm the same person I was last year sitting behind the wheel when we won a lot of Nationwide and Truck races. At this level, you've got to have the right stuff."
Flashbacks to 2001
Harvick leaned back in the leather chair and tried to remember this time in 2001. It was like an amnesia patient recalling small flashbacks but nothing in great detail.
There was the meeting with owner Richard Childress the Wednesday after Dale Earnhardt was killed on the last lap of the Daytona 500 and the press conference a few days later at North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham.
"You walked in and all I remember was all the flashbulbs going off and there were hundreds of people," Harvick recalled. "I remember going, 'Oh, boy, this is going to be different.' "
The rest is a blur, from marrying Delana Linville in Las Vegas the next week to his first Cup victory three weeks later at Atlanta.
"The only thing I remember about Atlanta was coming to the white flag and people hanging on the fence on the back straightaway," said Harvick, who beat Jeff Gordon by .006 seconds. "I couldn't tell you about Victory Lane, any other situation that happened that year."
Harvick won one other race that season and finished ninth in points. The reality of Earnhardt's death and the impact it had on the company didn't hit until the following season, when he finished 21st in points.
Despite a strong showing in 2003, things didn't completely come together until 2006. Harvick had a dream season, winning five Cup races and finishing fourth in points. He also won nine Nationwide races to capture his second title.
He was indeed Happy Harvick, as he'd become known.
By then, KHI was well under way. It has since grown from one building with a rental apartment to a sprawling complex that has everything but a Cup team. One easily can imagine that, if and when Harvick decides the time is right. He already has a chassis dyno, something no other organization without a Cup program can claim.
It's all about staying ahead, just as it was when Harvick implemented a random drug testing program at KHI while NASCAR wondered if one was necessary.
These are all important things to consider, because this is the way Harvick thinks and these are the things he'll consider when he decides later in the year whether to stay at RCR, move to another team such as Stewart-Haas Racing as has been widely speculated, or start his own Cup program.
The good thing is he's in a happy place and not spending every waking minute talking about his future.
As Childress said last weekend at Las Vegas, the two are talking, and when the time comes to make an announcement, they will.
"Everything has flowed very well as far as how it's all worked," Harvick said. "Everybody knows where they stand as far as where everything is. We just go out and race every week and do the things we know how to do, and that's it."
Kill attitude
In gold print on a black wall above the KHI garage is a quote from tennis star Jimmy Connors: "I hate to lose more than I love to win."
Harvick picked the phrase because it best sums him up as a competitor. No one can argue that it doesn't.
"I don't think people realize just how competitive I am," he said. "It's not fun losing, so you want to figure out why. Sometimes you get into that mode and there's nothing else you see, hear or care about. You just want to fix it and go forward."
Harvick wanted to fix it so badly last season that he often made those around him miserable.
"At times Kevin wanted to pull his hair out last year, but I did too," teammate Jeff Burton said.
Harvick always has been this way. Just look at his eyes behind the wheel of his first go-kart in a picture in the KHI lobby. It's the same intensity he later had as a high school wrestler.
"I don't think there is anything that could have better prepared me for what you go through mentally in this sport than wrestling," Harvick said. "You're kind of own your own, you have people saying you need to do this and do that, but in the end you have to rely on what you do to make things happen."
One could argue Harvick turned to wrestling mode -- or "kill attitude" as RCR vice president of competition Mike Dillon calls it -- last year when it appeared he was being pinned on everything from performance to his future.
"We all get frustrated," Dillon said. "When you're running badly, everybody's attitude is changed. I like his attitude now. I like the horseshoe quote."
Ah, the horseshoe quote. Jimmie Johnson won two weeks ago at California after he beat Burton to the finish line by the smallest of margins while coming off pit road when caution came out. It allowed the four-time defending Cup champion to take the lead he'd never relinquish.
Runner-up Harvick later referred to the golden horseshoe Johnson appeared to have up his well, you know.
"When he's loose and having fun like that it makes it more fun for everybody," Dillon said. "That's what we got away from last year."
Harvick doesn't make any apologies. His competitive spirit won't let him. Neither will his confidence, which never has suffered during a winless streak that dates back to the 2007 Daytona 500.
He fully believes the streak will end this weekend and that he has what it takes to take the title away from Johnson.
"We've won championships in everything else," Harvick said. "We've got every other trophy, whether it's the Truck championship as an owner, the Nationwide as a driver. As a driver they're all sitting in here, whether it's the Daytona 500, the Brickyard, they all have a home here.
"That's the only one missing."
And that will continue to drive Harvick to do whatever it takes to change that, soft side and all.

Using a calculator can you show me step by step how I can calculate a monthly mortgage payment?
Using a calculator can you show me step by step how I can calculate a monthly mortgage payment.
For example the mortgage is $120K, the rate is 4.5% and the term is 360 months.
Further suppose I decide to pay off the mortgage at year 5, what would the amount owed be?
I have read the book and see the formula, I can calculate in excel as everyone else, but don't understand the formula nor how to calculate without the chart. So a detailed desciption would be very helpful.
Thank you.
Solution Preview
I assume you have a business calculator (if you don't skip down to the bottom). I have a Texas Instruments BA II Plus, I assume yours is similar.
First make sure you have set up your caculator, make sure you have set the number of payments per year to 12, look in the intructions for how to do that.
If you have it ready to go then follow these steps:
Press -120,000 then PV - mortgage value entered as a negative
Press 0 then FV - the value at the end of the mortgage is 0
Press 360 then N - the mortgage lasts for 360 months
Press 4.5 ...

Ahmed Kathrada, a courageous opponent of apartheid Featured
- Written by Moses Moyo
Ahmed Kathrada, an anti-apartheid activist who spent 26 years in prison with Nelson Mandela and later served as a leader and a voice of conscience of the African National Congress, died March 28 at a hospital in Johannesburg. He was 87.
His nonprofit organization, the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation, announced his death. He had recently undergone surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain.
The son of Indian immigrants, Mr. Kathrada dropped out of school as a teenager in the 1940s to devote himself to the liberation struggle — first for South Africa's marginalized Indian population, and then, joining forces with Mandela, for the country as a whole.
The two met in the mid-1940s, shortly before the white-supremacist National Party began formalizing rules that dictated where black Africans, mixed-race "coloured," whites and "Asians" such as Mr. Kathrada could live or work.
When Mandela was starting out, he wasn't very interested in allying with people of other races because he felt it was an African struggle. Mandela's views changed, he said, in part by seeing people such as Kathrada risk jail time or worse for acts of civil disobedience.
Beginning with his arrest for protesting the "Ghetto Act" of 1946, which restricted the rights of Indians to own land, Ahmed Kathrada was at or near the centre of seemingly every major anti-apartheid action of the era, including the 1952 Defiance Campaign that he helped organize with Mandela and other leaders of the
ANC and its Indian counterpart, the South African Indian Congress.
After 69 black protesters were shot by police officers in the northern city of Sharpeville in 1960, the ANC, outlawed and branded a terrorist organization, responded by launching a wave of bombings directed at government property.
On July 11, 1963, Kathrada and about a dozen other ANC leaders were swept up in a police raid on the organization's secret headquarters, a farmhouse in the Johannesburg suburb of Rivonia, and charged with 221 acts of sabotage for conspiring to "ferment violent revolution."
The trial riveted the nation, in part because of a three-hour courtroom speech by Mandela, who was already in prison but faced new charges linked to alleged ANC bomb plans found at the Rivonia farmhouse. He called for "a democratic and free society in which all people will live together in harmony . . . an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
Instead of receiving death sentences, Mandela, Kathrada, ANC deputy Walter Sisulu and six others were sentenced to life in prison.
Kathrada spent 18 years at Robben Island, an Alcatraz-like compound off the coast of Cape Town, and eight more at nearby Pollsmoor Prison. Robben, he told the NPR program "Here & Now" in 2013, "was a microcosm of apartheid as it existed outside." Performing forced labor at a limestone quarry on the island for about a decade, he was granted an outfit of long pants and socks. Black inmates such as Mandela were allowed to wear only short pants, and even in the winter were forced to work without socks.
Despite the hardship, Kathrada used his prison time as a political training ground, discussing organizing techniques with Sisulu, with whom he shared a cell for several years, and helping Mandela draft and then smuggle his memoirs to the outside world. Supported by money from his family, Kathrada also completed four bachelor's degrees in history and African politics.
"The prison was also a place of relative safety. Unlike on the mainland, he said, "no policeman could come to Robben Island and start shooting at us. . . . Others, people we knew closely, [were] tortured to death, shot, assassinated. We were safe."
Kathrada was released in 1989, after negotiations that resulted in the official recognition of the ANC and the country's first open elections. Kathrada was elected to South Africa's Parliament in 1994 and served five years as parliamentary counselor to Mandela, who was elected president.
He expressed little bitterness about his prison sentence, or about apartheid more generally, and later became a sort of diplomatic tour guide on Robben Island, showing foreign dignitaries his cell at the prison.

Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg thinks Project Natal will have a five year lifespan.
"The richness of the technology is going to really enable experiences that never had existed before. And we're not just speaking about what we're doing this year, but I think two, three, four, five years from now as this evolves."
He then Refutes the comparisons to the PS2's eye toy.
"We obviously could have done a motion controller if we'd have wanted to do that, but we felt that would be a much more interruptive experience. We had an opportunity here to really do something that's transformative and brings a whole new category of experiences to life."
"Now we're saying to creators: 'We can see when you move your hand, when you move your feet, we can track your body. I can stand in front of this sensor and it can recognise my face and know if it's me, or my brother or my sister."
Greenberg confirmed that Natal is just a codename and that the full name for it could be revealed as early as E3.

St Andrew's was delighted to welcome author, Colin Parsons to school for our 'Able Writer's Day.' 14 Year 6 pupils represented the school at this whole-day event which was also attended by 19 pupils from Moulsford, The Oratory and St Neot's. Before becoming a full-time writer in his 40s, Colin explained he had tried many different jobs including working at a Christmas tree 'factory', as a driver and on a farm. He is proof that it is never too late to fulfil your dreams! During the day, he gave the pupils valuable tips on how to develop characters, describe locations and extend descriptive language. Colin signed and donated collection of his books to the library including his most well-known 'House of Darke' and 'The Curious World of Shelley Vendor.' The children really enjoyed this literary event and we look forward to a follow-up visit sometime in the future
Douai Abbey Concert
Well done to all performers at the end of term Christmas Carol concert. Everyone coped admirably with our last minute change of venue and we very much enjoyed the experience of visiting the impressive Douai Abbey. The choirs all sang beautifully and the readers spoke clearly and with confidence. A great finish to a long and busy term.
Falklands Chapel Concert
The beautiful Falklands Memorial Chapel was the most recent venue for our school concert. The concert showcased the talents of our pupils in choirs, orchestras, ensembles and from soloists from age 7 to 13. All the pupils performed confidently and the whole event was a great success.
Year 5 Thespians
Year 5 were absolutely outstanding in their drama production of 'Just Like Us'. All of Year 5 had speaking parts in the play about evacuees. The play was rehearsed in a very short period of time as forms and the whole year group only performed together for the first time on the actual day. The play was very polished and very funny. Well done to all of Year 5.
IAPS Hockey at Millfield
The U13 girls hockey team travelled to Millfield School for the West Championships with high hopes. Last year they had won the tournament and had played in the U13 Hockey Nationals. Despite great effort and some super play, their luck was not in this year. Well done to all those girls who represented the school at this event.
Bushcraft 2015
At the end of September, Year 5 pupils travelled to Oxfordshire for a team-building weekend with the Bushcraft Company. Pupils camped out under a bivvy shelter and showed remarkable resilience when the rains fell! Pupils learned safety drills, how to build dens and enjoyed meals by the campfire. All the pupils displayed excellent behaviour and were a credit to the school.
Music Exam Successes
Forty-nine pupils recently took their ABRSM music examinations. Well done to all pupils for all their efforts and successes. Special mention goes to the seven singers who achieved a distinction, and the two flautists also. There were also three pupils who achieved Grade 5, and another impressive three pupils who achieved Grade 6. Quite a benchmark to set for future years!
Woodland Evening
Year 2 had a wonderful, woodland adventure to celebrate the end of their time in Pre-Prep. Mums and dads were invited to come along and join in, starting with an orienteering course around the grounds, followed by a scavenger hunt, exploring the woods, campfire songs and toasting marshmallows. A lovey evening of sticks, smoke and smiles!
Fantastic Summer Concert
The end of term Summer Concert was a great success. Pupils from Year 2 upwards sang and played in a fantastic display of musical talent. The audience were treated to an evening of choir performances, string quartets, concert and big band performances, saxophone group, senior cellos and full orchestral pieces. The repertoire ranged from Verdi and Vivaldi to Elton John and Coldplay. We are very proud of all pupils' confidence, effort and talent.
Musical notes
This term has been a busy and successful one for the Music Department. Following their fine performance at the Falklands Memorial Chapel; the choir performed at Winchester Cathedral in May. The service was well attended and the choir sang beautifully. There have also been concerts from Years 2, 3 ,4 and 8. We are all looking forward to the final performance of the year, which will be our Summer Concert at the end of the month.

Does career achievement matter?
Academy has been more resolute lately in awarding Oscars for a singular film
Academy has been more resolute lately in awarding Oscars for a singular film
A round-up of the best scenes for each of the lead actor nominees.
A round-up of the best scenes for each of the supporting actress nominees.
A look at best actor nominees Demian Bichir, George Clooney, Jean Dujardin, Brad Pitt and Gary Oldman.
A look at the best actress nominees Viola Davis, Rooney Mara, Michelle Williams, Meryl Streep and Glenn Close.
A look at supporting actor nominees Nick Nolte, Max von Sydow, Kenneth Branagh, Jonah Hill and Christopher Plummer.
Past is prologue for the big prize, with nearly all nominees packing their bags for halcyon days.
In the 17-year history of the SAG Awards, 86% of its lead actress nominees and 82% of its lead actor nominees have gone on to win Oscar nods as well.
Demian Bichir has been a household name in his native Mexico for the past two decades, but his rise to prominence in America has been more of a slow build.
Look at the slate of movies and actors that film critics groups honored in 2011 and there's likely to be plenty of overlap to what may be the Academy's list when Oscar nominations are announced Jan…
Six films show category depth but some notable year-end openers miss list.

An occult thing is something that is clandestine, hidden, or secret. The word comes from the Latin occultus, meaning "knowledge of the hidden". Webster's defines the verb occult thus: "To shut off from view or exposure."[1]
In modern usage, "occult" refers to any one of a number of supernatural practices. These may include tarot cards, ouija boards, psychic powers, witchcraft, charms and spells of various forms, voodoo, some pagan rituals, demonology and divining for resources.

Michelle Monaghan's model memories
Michelle Monaghan has joked about how little she knew about posing when she first began modelling.
The star is now a successful actress having appeared in the likes of True Detective season one and upcoming movie Pixels, but her career began in front of a different camera. She can vividly remember the first modelling job she ever booked, although she wishes the poses weren't quite so engrained on her memory.
"It was shooting for the [US retailer] Montgomery Ward catalogue. When I saw myself in the Sunday ad, I was bowled over. I couldn't believe it was me. I did a lot of hands-on-hip posing in those days," she laughed to whowhatwear.com.
While modelling can leave some women feeling conscious about their lumps and bumps, Michelle doesn't have that issue. The 39-year-old star is fiercely proud of her body, shown as she feels sexiest when she's lounging on the beach in a bikini - although she would be rocking a pop of red lipstick to really feel her best.
Unfortunately for anyone wanting to follow in her footsteps, there is no magic secret to Michelle's flawless figure. She credits her dedication to health for making her look so good, alongside her decision not to use too many beauty products.
"It's all smoke and mirrors, I tell ya! My routine is very simple, I promise you. Firstly, I drink tons of water - multiple litres a day. It's always by my side," she said. "I use sunblock, work out, and drink a green juice daily as well. I also get facials once a month, and my guilty pleasure is tinting my eyelashes. I really believe in the philosophy less is more. My skincare routine is more about working from the inside out rather than putting a lot of products on my skin. I like simplicity."
There are a couple of items she relies on though, including the multitasking Egyptian Magic Skin Cream which she smothers on her lips, limbs and cuticles.

Though our invitation to Ciara and Russell Wilson's wedding seems to have gotten lost in the mail, we do know that the happy newlyweds, hands down, hosted one of this year's most glamorous ceremonies inside Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England. Yes, the 30-year-old star made her bridesmaids glow, but it was her very own gown that stole the show.
For her big day, Ciara tapped Robert Cavalli's Peter Dundas to design her dream dress. The two have a years-long friendship and the beauty has previously starred in the brand's campaigns. "Ciara is a dear friend so making her dress was a labor of love," Dundas said in the below 'gram of the custom Cavalli Couture piece.
"Ciara is a dear friend so making her dress was a labour of love." @peter_dundas Check out the sketch of the #CavalliCouture wedding dress designed by @peter_dundas for @ciara #Ciara #RussellWilson #TheWilsons #MrandMrsWilson
So what was the all-white, princess-like design made of? It featured a "tulle bell sleeves mermaid silhouette," explained Cavalli in the Instagram post below. "The unique bridal creation is composed of white silk tulle, fully embroidered with floral motifs throughout, and delicate glass beading, covered entirely with precious Chantilly lace appliqué," he detailed in another. Dundas was, of course, on hand to make sure every inch of the dress fit Ciara sublimely just moments before she walked down the aisle.

Timeline note: Early Season 2, AtS. The Angel team has just got the Hyperion and Giles has just taken over the Magic Box. Significant season arcs in other areas have yet to begin.
A delicate hand brushed off a smudge of packing tape and blew gingerly at the top of the dust-choked box.
"Ewww! This is nasty. Do I want to know where you had this before it made its way here?"
The box's owner lifted his head up, idly flipping pages of what was either a magazine or a catalogue. "I didn't have it anywhere, Cordelia. It wasn't mine until this morning."
She gave him a teasing grin, then turned to their companion. "And this from the guy who's always telling me how much he hates shopping. But give the guy a new office, and he's all over capitalism."
She picked up one of their latest purchases, and skimmed the box with her fingers. "I mean, look at some of this stuff. Super balls? Play doh? Are we six?"
"Super balls work wonderfully in sling shots," Wesley said. "And play doh is significantly less sticky than clay."
"And we need clay because…"
"Because your drawing skills leave something to be desired, and I was hoping something three-dimensional might improve your ability to present your visions to us."
"Anyway, it isn't shopping, it's equipping," Angel said, not looking up from his catalogue this time. "And I would have done it sooner if you had space to store it all in your apartment. Wes here has been keeping a wish list for months!"
"Oh, really? I know it's really hard to be more shopping-challenged than a vampire, but I gottta say, watchers? A close second, if my experience with them is any indication."
"As if it would be," Wesley huffed, looking a little wounded. "As if you've made any effort to really understand…"
"Effort? Effort? Who's the one who has opened her home to Defender-of-Evil-R-Us for the past two months, huh, genius?"
"Well, you're sort of the only one who has HAD a home," Wesley said.
"And with the visions? Cause that's sure been fun, let me tell you, having the Powers-That-Be regularly using my brain for their creepy mystic public broadcasting system! You want to talk about effort? Let me tell you, that's…"
Now, Angel closed the magazine again and looked at her, closely this time, and with some concern. "You said you were managing those."
"Not really much choice, is there? And I…I do know, you know. That what we're doing is important and meaningful and really, really special. I just wish it didn't always have to be so painful. Or icky."
Both men looked chastened by that little speech. They traded glances, then Angel shoved the catalogue at Wesley. "Take a few minutes, look over my list, add anything you need…"
He watched Wesley wander over to the makeshift officer area in search of his glasses, then when the watcher was out of earshot, he pulled Cordelia aside.
"Listen, Cordelia, if you need to…to talk to someone about this…"
"Right, like I need to give you more to brood over. Look, I'm fine. That bakra demon you two took care of last night was my fourth vision this week. I guess I'm still a little tired."
She smiled brightly, but Angel did not look convinced. "I'm gonna have Wes add some homeopathic stuff to that order," he said.
"And when I say 'someone' Cordelia, I don't necessarily mean me. I mean, I do mean me. If you want me to mean me. I mean, if you think me…I…would be…that is to say, if there was someone else that you preferred…although I hope you would feel you could come to me if…you get what I'm saying?"
"Almost completely a little bit. And I think it's sweet that you're concerned."
"I know you do. But I'm not trying to be sweet, Cordelia. This is…this is important."
"Yeah. Can I go?"
"Look, I'm still trying to learn evil-fighting and non-bitchy-being. Not sure I can assimilate real-friend-having too right now. Can we just let it go?"
"I'm not letting it go," he said. "But I'm…choosing not to talk about it at this precise moment. Fair enough?"
She sighed, moved away from him, grabbed her purse off the counter. "I'm getting coffee. I'll be back in a bit."
He let her go, but his scowl did not fade.
When Cordelia returned to the Hyperion, it was almost lunch and Wesley was eyeing her take-out bag with a hopeful grin.
"Yes, I brought you back something," she sighed, pulling a wrapped sandwich out of the bag. "You too, Angel." She tossed him the bag, and he pulled out his snack with a grateful nod.
"You're welcome. So are we still doing the whole office-setting-up thing, or did that…"
There was a knock at the door, and they all jumped a little. Angel moved for the door, hand tensing around a small weapon.
"You know, a bad guy's probably not going to knock," Cordelia remarked.
Angel loosened his grip on the small knife, but did not put it down.
"It's probably our delivery," Wesley said. To Cordelia, he explained "There were some specialty items I couldn't source here. We had to order on-line, but they appear to be fairly local."
"Sunnydale, actually," Angel said, putting down his knife and opening the door with an slight, unhappy tense. "Which explains…this…"
The 'this' in question stepped inside with an awkward nod. "Well, hello."
Only Cordelia looked even remotely happy to see him. "Giles!"
He nodded, and placed a large box on the floor, nudging it toward Angel. "It appears you are not the only one with a new venture, Angel."
"And yours is running a magic store?"
Giles shrugged. "I was ready for a new challenge, and there was an opening."
"Opening how?" Cordelia wondered. "Did the former magic store owner get eaten by a vampire or something?"
"Actually, yes. I don't entirely have the retail side up and running yet, but we're already handling the web orders. When I saw your name on the packing slip, I simply could not pass up an opportunity to do the delivery myself and…"
"Spy on us for Buffy?" said Cordelia.
"If I wanted to spy on you, that wouldn't be the reason."
Angel and Wesley traded nervous glances. "Spy on us for the council?" Wesley guessed.
"Why don't we start with 'look up some old acquaintances and go from there. My word, you are a suspicious lot!"
"Kind of have to be in our line of work," Angel said.
"Oh? And what line of work is that?"
"Helping the helpless," said Cordelia. "It's a thing."
Angel, still looking cautious, ripped open the box and did a quick inventory. "This all looks fine."
"Well, I should certainly hope so. We at the Magic Box aim to provide quality above all else. Our motto is to…"
"You know, we don't actually care," said Cordelia, still wearing her perky face.
"Ah. Well, I suppose I should…"
"Actually," said Angel. "Since you're here anyway…"
"What?" Cordelia interrupted. "You two hate each other! Why would you want….oh. Oh, Angel, you're so not."
"Well, I just thought…I mean, you've known him longer. If you don't want talk to me, maybe you'll…"
"Geez! What part of 'let it go' are you not understanding? Look, Giles, it was…nice…seeing you and all, I just…have an elsewhere to be…"
She ran. The men traded baffled glances, but did not try to stop her.
Cordelia's hair had almost dried from her bubble bath by the time Giles found her. She was perched on the couch with a tub of Rocky Road, having a remote control war with Phantom Dennis about whether the mindless sitcom should be The Simpsons or Seinfeld when her ghost roommate suddenly lifted his invisible hand off the tv button. The air went still for a moment, then the apartment door wafted open.
Cordelia rolled her eyes heavenward, and heaved herself off the couch, stomping her foot at him. "Dennis! Do we need to have another conversation about boundaries? Hi, Giles."
"You can stop arching your brow, you know. It's not you I'm being snitty at."
"I mean, I would have let you in. Just would have been nice to be asked about it!" These last three words she shouted into the ether. To Giles, she offered "Sorry about that. Trying to train the roommate here."
She offered him a seat, then returned to her perch on the couch. "So, what does that mean, 'ah'? Do we have an awkward conversation now where I explain to you everything that's happened since the last time I saw you?"
"No, actually. I'm rather comprehensively up to speed."
"What, you have council spies keeping an eye on us or something?"
His tiny little quirk of amusement was vaguely smug. "If I want to spy, I certainly don't need the council."
"Wow. That's…kinda creepy-sounding. Looks like I'm not the only one who's changed."
"That is almost certainly true. Cordelia, Angel filled me in on the latest events, and…"
"And you want to talk about it?" she sighed.
"If you'd like to, I suppose. I did come here for another reason though."
"I realized I have an opportunity to stock up on some inventory while I am in Los Angeles. I could use an extra hand."
"Great. A guy with his own car and credit card finally asks me to go shopping with him, and it's a watcher on a creepy hellmouth errand. Some life, huh?"
"Look, if this is some ruse to get me to let down my guard and spill my guts to you for Angel, then no. But if this is legit…"
"Oh, yes," he said earnestly. "VERY legit."
"Well, it's not like I have anything better to do. Pouting and brooding is actually kind of boring, you know. I don't know how Angel can stand doing it so much. Look, give me twenty to get myself cleaned up, okay?"
She hurried off to the bathroom, leaving Giles standing there, his mouth quirked into that odd little smile. "Angel pouts?" After a moment's thought, he decided that he probably didn't want to know.
The last stop of their marathon seven-store shopping spree was a converted warehouse half a block from Caritas. It appeared to be a very popular place: rows of cash registers lined the wall by the entrance, and long lines of demons stood with large shopping carts before each of them. The rest of the store was filled with giant plastic tubs of things, some of which were smelly or squishy or clearly still alive.
"Great," Cordelia quipped. "It's the bulk food store of the damned."
"Don't be silly. Now, here is my list. Let's just be methodical…"
Cordelia pointed to a random bin. "What's that?"
"Pigeon entrails. If we could just…"
She pointed again. "What's that?"
"Dove's blood. Cordelia, we only…"
She pointed to a display near the cash registers. "What's that?"
"A rack of sunglasses," he said without breaking stride. "Shall we?"
They were out in less than half an hour, and Cordelia was glad to see the street again. In spite of her snippy mood, it really was a beautiful day and the sunny weather, drive in Giles' sports car and company of non-vampire non-brooder really was a nice change of pace, and kind of relaxing. She was feeling herself loosen up.
"So, you want to buy me a drink or something?"
"Those were your instructions, weren't they? Keep me distracted, get me to relax and then try and talk to me?"
He blushed. "Cordelia…"
She started walking. "I know how Angel works. I know this place, kinda not far from here…kinda fun, demon bartender who reads people, great tequila and a killer iced coffee…"
He closed the trunk and followed her. "Cordelia…"
"Well, not killer in the literal sense. Cause that would be…I think he has some kind of mojo running anyway, keeps the big bads for any misbehaving. Safe as houses. All you have to do is buy me my iced coffee, get the all-clear from the host, and then we'll see about talking. Look, we're already here. Merl! Hey, Merl!"
She waved cheerily to a morose-looking demon as she ushered Giles inside. A large prickly-looking creature was on stage singing a love song to what appeared to be a female version of itself, who was dancing drunkenly at the serenade. A green-skinned demon with horns ambled over to Giles and Cordelia, wincing.
"Please tell me you're better than he is," the demon said.
Giles was looking about him, still vaguely confused. "Where are we?"
The demon bowed slightly. "Welcome to Caritas. I am your host."
"Caritas?" Giles smiled. "Interesting."
"Ah, an educated man. Those are always fun. Give me a minute to deal with el croonador over there, and I'll be right with ya. Grab a table, Kitten, I'll have someone bring you a drink."
Cordelia was positively giddy. "Isn't this nice? You're paying, right?"
Giles was already flipping through the binder of song choices. "Hmmm? Oh, yes. Is it my turn, then?"
The host arrived with a frothy, bubbling drink for Cordelia, and an expectant gleam in his eye for Giles. "Well, amigo, you ready to rumble?"
"If you can call it that. Shall I?"
Cordelia settled back in her chair as the music cued up:
We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had might-a set the west coast on fire
Two months later got a troublin' mind '
Cause my baby moved out and left me behind
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
"Wouldn't have pegged him for a country boy," the host said, moving back to the table for a better look.
"Yeah, I bet there's a lot about him that you wouldn't have pegged. You getting anything useful there?"
"Yes, and not all of it is stuff I'm going to tell you, Kitten. I will tell you this, though: he's safe right now. Anything you want to tell him, you can go ahead."
I'm sixteen hundred miles from the people I know
Been doin' all I can but opportunity sure come slow
Lord I'd be in the sun all day
But I'm sweepin' out a warehouse in west L.A.
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight
And I got two more bottles of wine
"Yeah," Cordelia said. "I kind of had already decided to, you know."
"It does sound like he knows what he's talking about." With that, the host winked and swept over to the stage to give Giles his reading. Cordelia was sipping at her frothy drink and pondering the best approach when Giles came back, looking not entirely pleased.
"Bad news from the psychic karaoke demon?" Cordelia asked.
He rolled his eyes. "As if he were the first to predict dire apocalypse, a coming darkness and a powerful foe to whom I will pay a terrible price…"
"Doesn't make it any more fun to hear though, does it."
He smiled gamely, looking suddenly tired. "No, I suppose it does not. Well? Will you sing too?"
"In what world would that be a good idea? Do you even remember the talent show?"
He winced. "Perhaps the world of music is not your optimal milieu."
"Yeah, that."
"Although, I did rather admire your utter lack of inhibition. That's something that has never come easily to me."
"Says Mister I-Just-Sung-Karaoke-in-a-Bar-Full-of-Demons."
"But that's something I'm good at. I know I am. But when I am not so sure…"
"You bluster and squirm and devise lame-ass cover stories as cheap distraction? Not that I didn't enjoy the road trip to Bizarro World Wal-Mart and all, of course…"
He sighed. "What is the term that you young people use? Busted?"
"So, and very. Hey, you're getting all fidgety again. You don't need to do that. It's all good in here."
He straightened, moving in for the kill. "And out there?"
"Out there…out there, I sometimes feel like I don't know what's going on. And other times...other times I feel like I know too much about what's going on."
"I'm sure you think that I…that Angel…couldn't possibly understand what this has been like for you."
"Well, you kind of can't. I mean, Angel's an allegedly mythical undead creature of the night, and you were practically bred for this, and I'm…"
"You're in it now. For better or worse."
"I know I am. It just…doesn't always seem fair, you know? And other times…it feels like it really is my fault. That I'm paying now, for how I've been, for what I've done…"
He fiddled with a paper napkin, then said "We all have ghosts. We all have sins. If you really think…"
She fiddled with her straw, suddenly awkward again. "Forget it. I knew you wouldn't understand."
"Wouldn't I? We were all innocent once, you know. Buffy, Angel, Wesley…all of us. We were all innocent, and then we had that one day where we learned what's really out there…"
"And? You're going to give me some kind of buck up, little soldier speech about my sacred duty to mankind now?"
"Do you think I should?"
She slumped back in her chair with a sigh. "No. But if you had some kind of handbook…Saving the World for Dummies? On Becoming a Mystical Conduit for the Powers-That-Be? Zen and the Art of Being a Seer? The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vision Having?"
He chuckled. "No."
"What, then? What did you want to say?"
"Only that I've been thinking your frothy drink idea is starting to have some appeal. Is there time for another one?"
"Always. But...weren't we just having a serious conversation here?"
He blinked implacably. "Yes. And?"
"And now we're going to sit here for another hour and have frothy drinks?"
"Comfort as I am sure I have been to you, Cordelia, it is beyond even my considerable capabilities to resolve the ultimate question of the battle between good and evil in one conversation."
"So that's it, is it? We just live with it, and…lead our lives? Fight the good fight, save the helpless innocents, and when we aren't doing that, just…enjoy our little breaks?"
"Do you have a better suggestion?"
Two more bottles of wine. The only way to trump a frothy coffee drink was two more bottles of wine.
The end
Note: The song is the Emmylou Harris version of "Two More Bottles of Wine"

John McCain turned heads recently by saying that choosing between Hillary Clinton and Rand Paul for President would be a "tough choice."
John McCain, as part of a much larger interview with the New Republic, said that if the 2016 Presidential race came down to Hillary Clinton vs. Rand Paul, that would be a "tough choice." Why is this news? Because American politics, and especially the Republican party, are so team-based, that when someone ignores the teams and bases a choice purely on merit, it's worth pointing out. While McCain has clashed publicly with Paul, who along with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), he once called "wacko birds," his respect for Hillary Clinton is rare among the GOP. Like in the leadup to the 2012 presidential race when few Republicans would utter a respectful word about President Obama, the general rule among the GOP is to bash Hillary Clinton, as the current front-runner for the Democratic nomination. (And incidentally, "wacko bird" is an excellent description of Ted Cruz.)
While Clinton is likely running, but could conceivably decide against it, Rand Paul is almost certainly running for President in 2016, and McCain's statement bolsters the profile of a dwindling group, at least among elected or public Republicans: the moderate. The Republican nominee is going to have to appease the Tea Party wing of the GOP or hope that that vote is divided enough, and most candidates tend toward the former strategy. Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan have been establishing their far-right credentials for a while now, with Paul standing up as the most libertarian of the bunch. McCain is closer to Clinton on issues of foreign policy and maybe even some budget and social program issues. At the same time, Paul is a Republican, Clinton a Democrat, and that means he shares a lot with Paul that he doesn't with Clinton.
So yes, that would be a tough choice for McCain, but really, this is the latest sign of something that you may have already noticed lately: Sane McCain is back!

USOpen Golf
June 17, 2010 by Post Team
US Open Golf:Pebble Beach, California – The U.S. Open 110th teed off at Pebble Beach on Thursday, the cliff scenery and the same, but totally different golf landscape since the triumph of 15 strokes of Tiger Woods 10 years ago.
Soren Kjeldsen of Denmark, three times winner of European Tour champion, whose bold style could be just the thing for the U.S. Open, had a quick start with birdies on the third, fourth and sixth to make the turn high classification in three under par.
The early starters, teeing off the coast as the clouds gave way to sunny skies, also included Masters champion Phil Mickelson, looking for the second stage of the Grand Slam after his victory at Augusta and a first victory U.S. Open after five second places.
Mickelson, playing with Padraig Harrington of Ireland and the South Korean champion Yang Yong-eun PGA, began in the 10th and opened with six pairs before bogeys at 16, 17 and 18 – which was in the water.
Harrington was two more and after three bogeys from the 15th directly to offset an early birdie and Yang was more than four to eight holes.
Woods, who stunned his rivals with a 15-stroke victory U.S. Open here in 2000, is an unknown quantity after a season that began amid the scandal.
He is playing just his fifth tournament of the 2010 season, missed the cut in one and another did not finish due to a painful swelling in the neck, which he has not fully healed.
Woods was playing the number three in England's Lee Westwood and Ernie Els at 1:36 pm (20:36 GMT), while about the same time – 13:47 (20:47 GMT) Rory Northern Ireland McIlroy, the Japanese teen sensation Ryo Ishikawa and timeless Tom Watson were to tee off on the 10th.
"It's a great partnership, obviously," Els said of his group. "I think if we have a bit of momentum in the group as a whole, I really could drag others in the group. So yes, we'll be looking at each other."
While the tour of the picturesque has been praised throughout the week, all 156 golfers in the field waiting for a classic challenge U.S. Open.
"I think it is better to set the U.S. Open I've seen," said Mickelson. "The only area of concern I have is green. They are so small and are so firm that, since there is no rain forecast, I'm certainly concerned that we could be 14 potential seventh hole at Shinnecck if you're not careful. "
The par three sessions at Shinnecck in 2004 was so dry the last round that balls were out of it, prompting officials to water in the middle of the round.
Woods noted the speed of the fairways.
"I'm probably just going to hit a handful of drivers out here," he said. "The golf course is getting fast. Some of the holes which are believed to affect driver, three wood is starting to become an option. These streets are starting to get very fast."
Most players have predicted a repetition of the Woods 12-win total of 2000 is not in the cards.
"I think the firmness of the greens are going to leave the scoring to be real low," said American Steve Stricker.
But Harrington insisted that even par will not win the tournament.
"Every time he meets a green out here's a birdie opportunity," said Harrington. "The greens are small and limited in that the pins can be. So I think we'll see more birdies this week."
Harrington noted that Gil Morgan reached 10 under par at the U.S. Open here in 1992.
"If you play golf well, let's create a lot of chances and it was someone from here will do that," Harrington said.
But Morgan, who was 10-under through 43 holes this year, back nine in his next seven holes before falling to Tom Kite in the wind swept the final round tomorrow.
That year was a perfect example of the two sides of Pebble Beach, where fickle weather can dramatically affect coastal course.
Competition USGA officials promised President Tom O'Toole ensure a fair test, regardless of the weather.
"This golf course does not leave us," he said.

BMC Racing Team Win Vuelta a Espana Team Classification11. September 2016, Madrid (ESP) — Road Team
BMC Racing Team capped off the Vuelta a Espana by winning the team classification, after three weeks of racing which saw Darwin Atapuma in the red jersey for four days and Jempy Drucker claim his first Grand Tour stage win.
With the good also came the bad, and on stage 19 Samuel Sanchez crashed in the time trial while currently sitting seventh overall to end his race, following on from the abandon of Tejay van Garderen and Philippe Gilbert, who crashed in the first week.
As the race came to an end on the traditional circuit finish in Madrid, the team did an excellent job of positioning Drucker for the sprint. Drucker was in a perfect position in the final 500m, but was eventually boxed in 200m before the line, ending his chances for the win.
As BMC Racing Team's six finishing riders took to the podium for the team classification presentation with Sports Directors Valerio Piva and Max Sciandri, they reflected on their past three weeks of racing.
How would you sum up the Vuelta a Espana?
Valerio Piva, Sports Director: "It was a Vuelta a Espana with a very nice result but also bad luck. In the end we are very happy that we have this team classification. We have a victory and we we had a lot of nice days of racing. Now we look forward to the end of the season."
Max Sciandri, Sports Director: "It was fantastic. We came away with four days in the red jersey, best team and Jempy Drucker's stage win. Obviously we lost Samuel Sanchez who came here as a leader. For sure he could have done maybe even a top five finish, that would have been fantastic, but that's cycling. But I think at the end we did a good result."
Darwin Atapuma: "For me this Vuelta a Espana was a dream come true. To have the red jersey for four days was never something I imagined coming into the race. I would have liked to win a stage, and I was close on two stages, but I'm still really happy with my ride. It was a great experience to be on the podium with the team for the team classification."
Silvan Dillier: "For me the Vuelta a Espana was the first race after the track experience in Rio and it was good. I started ok and could build up my shape and this was the most important for me. As a team we won the team general classification so we could step on the podium here in Madrid and this is an awesome experience."
Jempy Drucker: "For me it was a good Vuelta a Espana with the stage win and I think as a team we did our best and we won team GC. In the final stage I was in a good position and the team did a very good job. I got a bit boxed in in the final 200m and touched Nielson's wheel so then I had to brake and my sprint was over, which is a pity because I felt really strong."
Ben Hermans: There were some positive sides and some negative sides for the team. We came for the GC with Samuel Sanchez but he crashed out in the final week so it was not so good. But we were active in every stage and I think that's why we also won the team GC and we were pretty close with three times second place."
Dylan Teuns: "It was my first Grand Tour and it was a totally new experience for me. In the first week I was not so good but I started to get better. I had a small crash but overall I'm really happy with my three weeks of racing and for sure I'm really happy to be on the podium for the team GC."
Danilo Wyss: "I think it was a good Vuelta a Espana for the team with the stage victory, three second places, team classification and a few days with the leader's jersey. That's a good Vuelta a Espana for BMC Racing Team. But there were also some hard times with the crash of Samuel Sanchez, Tejay van Garderen stopping and Philippe Gilbert was also in a crash so it was an up and down Vuelta but I think the overall summary is positive. For myself it's good with a second place on stage 13 and a lot of help for Jempy in the sprint. I'm happy with my race."

Calculating totals?Asked by mysocialteam on November 23, 2011 at 05:44 PM
I have a form which asks participants in a Personal training course how many times per week they do certain things, like drinking 2 litres of water, not eating dairy or meat and drinking alcohol.
The form asks them to check boxes and then put a total out of 7 days. It then goes on to ask them a grand total for all questions.
Is there a way to automatically calculate all totals based on the number of check boxes selected.
I know that Jotform has this functionality already as the payment system calculates a total amount for products selected. What I want to do is far simpler and just calculate the number of checkboxes selected in a particular selection applying +1 per checkbox to a total and then calculating a total at the end of the form which adds the total of all checkboxes on the form.
Is there a way to do this in jotform, or do I need to download the whole form with css and js and edit the js to add in classes here for calculation?
Form is here: http://jumpstartoutdoor.com.au/pages/VitCh-Wk-2.php

Sovereign Citizen Movement
May 16, 2011 by staff
Sovereign Citizen Movement, According to Wikipedia, the "sovereign citizen movement is a network of U.S. Persons, commentators and financial scheme promoter who call themselves" sovereign citizens "and believe they are answerable only to the English common law and not subject to any law or procedures at the federal, state or municipal. Tonight was the center of a 60-minute exposure presented by Byron Pitts.
Expect more media stories to follow in the coming days and weeks as "sovereign citizens" became a hot buzzword synonymous with angry citizens and disenfranchised who are portrayed in the next segment as open to violence against politicians and police alike.
This is a story about a group of Americans who probably never heard of ". Sovereign citizens" who call many do not pay taxes, carry a driver's license or have a Social Security card. They have little respect for the police or the courts, and some have turned violent.
The FBI lists among the main threats of domestic t*rror*sm in the nation.
By some estimates, some 300,000 citizens in the U.S. sovereign and with the sluggish economy and the mortgage disaster, their ranks are growing.
Have you heard of the sovereign citizen movement? Alfred Adaska explains the theory of man of straw and other anti-government beliefs "60 Minutes."
Is exactly the kind of movement that attracted people like Jerry Kane? A divorced, out of work truck driver from Ohio, Kane became a sovereign citizen in 2003, when he lost his home to foreclosure. To earn a living, he and his son began traveling the country selling a scam debt reduction.
Kane promised that, taking an imaginary account of people the government could achieve financial salvation. "It fits in all situations. No matter what we're talking … traffic ticket, IRS, mortgage, credit card, hospital bills, and child support. Whatever it is," he told an audience in one of his seminars.
For 2009, confidence in oneself Kane and white label jacket could not hide the reality. Indeed, it was broke. Its debt elimination seminars were a failure.
As a sovereign citizen, Kane had no driver's license. His car was registered to a fake charity. Traffic stops resulted in arrests, and each of them, the wrath of Kane to the authority deepened.
"I do not want to have to kill anyone. But if you keep picking on me, that am what's going to have to leave, that am what's going to come down to is that I have to kill. And if you have to kill one then I will not be able to stop, "said Kane, one of his seminars.
Absorb everything was 16 Kane's son, Joe, home-schooled and rose in the ideology sovereign.
On May 20, 2010, the minivan was stopped Kane on I-40 for two West Memphis, Arkansas police officers.
A dashboard camera captured what happened next: Kane came off the truck. Seemed argumentative. Instead of a license, had delivered a document declaring their sovereignty. The officials seemed confused by it. Then there was a fight.
Young Joe Kane jumped off the truck and began firing an AK-47. Fifty-eight seconds later, as Kane prepared to flee, the teenager shot four times.
A trucker called 911.
"I heard a call go out on the radio, saying:" Officer down! "The second time he says that two officers down the 275 miles," said Police Chief Bob Paudert West Memphis correspondent Byron Pitts.
Chief Paudert was among the first to arrive. An officer lay motionless on the pavement, a second in a ditch. Fellow officers came to his aid.
"They kept saying," Bill, you're going to be OK, Bill; you'll be all right. "Well, I knew then it was Bill Evans. And I ran down the hill with Bill. He was wounded very badly. And as I started down the slope of a sergeant was there and stopped me. He said:" Chief, please do not go there. I said, 'Is Brandon? He said, 'Yes,' "recalled Paudert.
"Brandon is the sergeant. Brandon Paudert, the head of 39-year-old son.
"I was there. And Brandon was lying on his back with the gun still in his right hand clenched in his hand," recalled Paudert.
Brandon Paudert died instantly from a gunshot to the head, Bill Evans was pronounced dead at a hospital. They had taken 25 bullets between them.
Police cornered Jerry and Joe Kane 90 minutes later. The Kanes wounded two lawmen more before they were killed in the parking lot of Wal Mart.

WinFuture.de has now answered a question that I had been wondering: "What is the taskbar going to look like in the new Vista theme?" They provided the answer with a set of screenshots for Windows Vista build 5466. The screenshot above is of the new Vista theme and as you can see they haven't changed the taskbar at all! I hope that this is just something they haven't gotten around to because a black taskbar and light-blue window borders don't mesh well in my opinion.
Besides for the new theme integration there was not much else that I noticed new in the build since 5456 was released to testers. This is just another step closer to Microsoft making the first Release Candidate available.

Sony Google TV Prices
Sony's Google TV-Ready TVs Will Set You Back $1,900
Hype is growing ahead of the Google TV launch, especially after its official site unveiling and Logitech's announcement detailing its lineup of Google TV set-top boxes and accessories. Adding to the hype is Sony Insider, who leaked the rumored price list of the upcoming Sony Google TV family.
Starting at $1,300 for a 32-inch screen and running all the way up to $1,900 for the large 46-inch size, these sleek TVs will be Internet- and Google TV-ready, packed with an Intel processor so you can surf the web without the need for any other device. There are no additional details on the TVs other than the price, and while I've been as excited for the Google TV experience as the next gal, I don't think I could bring myself to shell out $1,300 for a 32-inch TV.
Is it just me, or does that sticker price seem way too high? Granted, Google TV will easily streamline your content viewing experience at home, but why shell out this kind of dough for something you can already do on your home computer? Maybe Google TV is just losing its sheen for me. What about you? Let me know how you feel about Google TV and all its branded products in the comments.
Update: Sony Insider has updated their reported pricing structure on the TVs, with the 46-inch model now being priced at $1,399 instead of the $1,900 as stated earlier.

We've been showing you welding, notching, and bending videos recently to inspire you to build your own roll bar or roll cage for your project. We'll be bringing you more tech on doing this type of project in the coming weeks, but we also wanted to show you some tools that could come in handy. When thinking about welding together tubing into a roll bar or cage, the tools everyone things about are tubing benders, notchers, and welders, but the truth is there are tons of little tools and little tricks that can make your project mushc more enjoyable and successful.
This is the Cage Gage, and it could be the one thing that saves you all the aggravation of figuring out angles for bending tubing. As they state in the video, tubing can get expensive if you are throwing a lot of it away. So for the price of a couple of screw-ups you can get the Cage Gage and have a much more precise cage and much less waste. It even tells you how much tubing each bend will take so you don't have to keep making tubes that are 6 inches too long in an effort not to come up short, because each 6 inch scrap piece is a couple bucks. What may be the best part of the system is the fact that it allows you to mark the start and end of each bend, on straight tubing, so that when you are doing multiple bends you have them in exactly the right place. This is a really well thought out product.
It uses a really creative and cool protractor, that holds onto PVC tubing for your calculations, and allows you to mock up each and every tube in your roll cage using the tool, a tape measure, and some pvc pipe. And if you really aren't sure on a particular portion of the layout, using two Cage Gages will allow you to build portions of the cage in PVC to make sure things are exactly where you want them. We dig it!
Watch the video, and with any luck we'll have a couple of our own soon that we can show you working first hand on our Blazer project. We have a couple of bars left to design for the cage, and know that being able to mock them up with the Cage Gage will make the job much more precise and simple. We can't wait.
Check out the video below, and for more information on the Cage Gage visit them at CageGage.com

That you have an old friend that you wanted to date, but didn't, as a Facebook friend?
Hello, everyone! Happy New Year!
So, I have this friend on Facebook. We met a few years ago and only spoke a few times. He's a really sweet Irishman, whom I was very attracted to. And, to this day, I still wonder what it would have been like if I had asked him out for a drink or a coffee. But, it's just a simple passing thought. No real yearn to it... We never really see eachother or talk frequently. He's just a great guy.
So, because he is my Facebook friend and I still wonder how things could have gone, do I need to tell the man I'm currently seeing? I don't think that I have feelings for him.
Any male point of view would be appreciated. How would any other guy feel if it was your girlfriend/partner/wife who left out this info?

Thank you. I figured that it was no big deal because nothing will ever happen because the guy lives in Ireland and we both are in decent relationships. But, thank you for your honest response. Have a nice day...
