A Navy SEAL accepts a hot proposition: share a buddy's girlfriend and fulfill her dream of a ménage. But after meeting Kata he needs more than one night. And he wants her all to himself - a guilty secret that becomes a dangerous fantasy.

"This erotic tale has plenty of heat, touches on several sexual fantasies, explores the BDSM lifestyle, and has a suspense plot to boot." (Romantic Times)
Say something about yourself!
"I admit, I haven't finished this book."
But I'm not happy with it at all at this point. I don't think it can be redeemed with only 2 hours left to go.
I've really enjoyed the previous 3 books for the most part. My biggest problem with this series has been a couple of constants. First, 'typical' submissive women are portrayed as spineless, sniveling, doormats. The strong, sharp tongued, bratty women who wind up as submissives in the series are way more typical of submissives I know. Second, the insistence of the men in the series that the woman of their choosing is really a submissive and she just doesn't know it and if only the big strong Dom would come in and show them, they will (or should) jump straight into the lifestyle with no qualms. Not only is this incredibly unrealistic, but also chauvinistic and insulting.
Having stated those two generalities, this book in particular has gone so far above and beyond the pushy Dom that it's moved into bullying. The woman only 'gives in to her submissive side' during sex and only after being pushed passed her 'no' point. Admittedly, she's written to really enjoy some of the aspects of submissiveness and she never uses her safe word. But, it's just too much for me and I've become frustrated to the point that I wish she'd kick him to the curb and find an actual caring, loving Dom who trusts her as much as she should trust him.
I'll get off my soapbox now.
I'm an audio junkie and people tend to look at me strangely when I tell them I hear voices in my head - through my headphones . . .
"Insufferable Angst!"
A listener/reader can only take so much angst. Kata's constant "If I give in to him, then I'll lose myself, blah, blah blah . . ." gets tiresome after the first 100 times she says it or thinks it. After the 200th time she says it, you just have to start hitting the fast forward button. If the author pulled back from this even just a little, it might have saved this book.
Kata's constant whining.
The only two characters I actually enjoyed listening to were Logan and his father.
Just tone down the back-and-forth "I want him, I don't want him." Listeners/Readers in general are not stupid. Authors don't need to kill a dead horse, resurrect it, and keep on killing it just to get a point across. After a while it just kills the story - not the horse.
Audiobook Addict. It's all about the listen. Reviews are my unbiased opinions -popular or not- whether the book was bought or gifted
"Well, you can't love EVERYTHING an author writes"
Shayla Black's Wicked Lovers series is overall very good, but I just didn't like this one. The best parts were the cameos by previous characters in the series and the excellent narrator. The story itself was so unbelievable that I found myself rolling my eyes a lot and finally listening on double speed just to get through it so I could say I have listened to them all. I wanted to slap both main characters because Hunter was an insufferable bully, and Kata had no spine. I found very few redeeming qualities in either of them, and should have heeded the reviews I read on Amazon and skipped this one. Having said that, I still look forward to the next installments on Audible because the first 3 books were great, and I will listen to those again.
"The best yet of this series"
The sex is so hot. Shayla writes so that you really care about the characters. I love, love this series. How long do we have to wait for Book 5 to come out in audio?
I really enjoy the world of books! Narration just add layers to that world... don't u think? :)
"OMG! No Black Didn't!!!!"
WHAT! Ok... let me compose myself!!! WHAT!
The best book of the series soo far. Please Black, Please follow up with Hunter's brother..!!!
Ok.. I did not expect a book on Hunter.. I was so expecting the next book to be on Tyler... I was not disappointed though. Kata, however is a totally new character for me. I love the fact that she is a big girl. Go Hunter!!! Hunter like a little meat on his bones!! OMG!!! This book was sooo freakin good... She couldn't have been that big though, because Mr. Navy Seal was tossing Kata all over the place.. and he was a DOM!!!! He was more forceful than Jack! Kata however was not like Morgan... she was not going for that crap. Black has out done herself this time.
Ok. Ok. Ok.. What I love the most about this book was all the freakin action... !!!!! YES!!! I mean Hunter is a Seal so his life is pretty crazy and I like how Black made sure to let you know that Hunter is a bad ass dude without actually having to tell you... SOOOO GOOOD! Plus the smex in the book... was amazing... and it was sooo much compared to all her other books.
Now.. the foreshowding of the next book can go either way... either Tyler or Landon... Please Please be Landon... Landon has a dungon living room...!!!! Black please don't make me wait two books!!!
Maynard did great with this book. She actually changed her voice for Kata... I think because Kata was suppose to be hispanic, so Great Job!!!!
it's the best way to spend a working day, and i'm thankful my job is one where i can listen to books all day long.
"still in love at book four"
a friend told me to read Wicked Ties, the first book in the series and i am so glad they did as i have enjoyed these books so much. it's amazing how much housework i can get done with this playing in my ears. i simply loved it. the story of Kata was wonderful and i really wanted this one to be a little longer, but shayla knows best and gives us what we need. :)
excellent book. can't wait for the next one.
"Best In The Series!"
I have listened to this book a few times already! I love it! So far I would say it is the best in the series!
I know this may sound weird, but I loved the scene where Hunter is leaving to return to active duty believing that he will be divorced by the time he returns (or I should say IF since he is sure he isn't going to return alive) to the US. The lengths he goes to in order to make sure that Kata is taken care regardless just goes to show that you can be a bad ass and still speak love with your every action!
I really hated to see this book come to end, but the ending itself is awesome! I laughed, cried, got mad, got upset, and of course got turned on!
Keep this series coming!
"Everything I wanted...ty shayla!!!"
I was waiting for this one and omg was it good. The action, sex scenes, Love...could not put it down...will be looking forward to others!!!!
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"I Like"
Yes, it was not my favorite in this series, but whats not to like about a hot dominate man falling instantly in love with a woman when he first laid eyes on her. I don't want to ruin the story, but to me it was worth the listen.
Hunter, he is so madly in love.
I loved all the Wicked Lovers Series!!
"Loved It"
I loved this storyline especially that the woman killed the villain! Furthermore, it showed a great background to why Hunter was over bearing.

CrystalDiskMark 3.0 Tests
CrystalDiskMark 3.0 is a file transfer and operational bandwidth benchmark tool from Crystal Dew World that offers performance transfer speed results using sequential, 512KB random, and 4KB random samples. For our test results chart below, the 4KB 32-Queue Depth read and write performance was measured using a 1000MB space. CrystalDiskMark requires that an active partition be set on the drive being tested, and all drives are formatted with NTFS on the Intel P67 chipset configured to use AHCI-mode. Benchmark Reviews uses CrystalDiskMark to illustrate operational IOPS performance with multiple threads. In addition to our other tests, this benchmark allows us to determine operational bandwidth under heavy load.
CrystalDiskMark uses compressed data, so sequential file transfer speeds are reported lower than with other tools using uncompressed data. For this reason, we will concentrate on the operational IOPS performance in this section.
CrystalDiskMark 3.0 reports sequential speeds reaching 480.9 MB/s reads and 492.8 MB/s writes. 512K test results reached 384.8 MB/s read and 467.7 MB/s write performance. 4K tests produced 22.65 read and 86.36 write performance. All CrystalDiskMark results produced by this 256GB OCZ Vertex 450 SSD were roughly equal to the previous-generation Vertex 4 series, but were not high enough to surpass OCZ's Vector solid state drive.
Maximum 4KB IOPS performance results at queue depth 32 are reported in the chart below. These values represent the performance levels for several enthusiast-level storage solutions, and illustrates which products offer the best operational performance under load:
In the next section, we continue our testing using Iometer to measure input/output performance...

They struck the pact in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, not long after insurgents nearly overran their remote outpost, leaving half of their Army unit wounded.
Sean Langevin and Kyle White agreed that if anything happened to one of them, the other would be there for his family. Still, White assured his friend, both would be going home.
But just weeks later, Sean, a 23-year-old paratrooper from Walnut Creek, was one of six Americans killed in a horrific ambush Nov. 9, 2007. White kept his word. He supported the grieving family at the funeral and over the years has remained close with Sean's widow, Jess, who gave birth to a daughter three months after her husband's death.
Now, Jess and Sean's mother, Roxane, will be there for White. On Tuesday, they will be present when the 27-year-old North Carolina resident receives the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award, in a White House ceremony for his valor that day in saving the rest of his platoon.
Their lives, forever intertwined, show how bonds forged in the horror of war continue long after troops come home -- or don't.
"I don't think about getting a medal. Instead, I think about the guys who gave their lives," White said. "It's more about them than it is about me, and Sean is at the top of the list. He was my best friend, and I think about him every day."
It's a bittersweet moment for the Langevins. They are proud of how White has made sure that the men who died that day are remembered. But the past few weeks have been hard. As they have read accounts of White's bravery, learning details never made public about the battle that killed Sean, the tears once again flowed.
"This has brought back so many memories that are difficult for us," Jess said.
Their saving grace is a precocious 6-year-old who has the always-smiling personality of the father who never held her. Zoe is the piece of Sean, Jess said, that will always be with them.
She's also the little girl who once during a Gold Star family event at Travis Air Force Base stared wide-eyed at all the uniforms.
"She just looks right up at me and said, 'Mommy, is this where daddy died?' " Jess recalled. "And I just start bawling. But she knows her daddy fought in the Army against bad guys and now is in heaven, watching over her."
A popular soldier
Like a magnet, Sean drew people to him. If anyone resisted his charm, he would relentlessly irritate them until they gave in and agreed to be his friend.
A 2002 Ygnacio Valley High graduate, Sean was an Eagle Scout with an adventurous streak. Family meant so much to him that Roxane officiated his wedding with Jess before he left for the Army, which he saw as the bridge to a law-enforcement career.
Stationed in Vicenza, Italy, with the 2nd battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Sean and Jess had an off-base apartment that became a gathering spot for homesick soldiers who spent down time watching DVDs of television shows.
It was there that Sean grew close with an Iowa native named Jon Albert and a younger, introspective soldier from the Seattle area -- White. Sean even came up with a nickname: the tripod.
"That was just goofy Sean," White said. "He was always talking about us being best friends, and if one of us was getting on the other guys' nerves, he would bring up the tripod. He would say, 'You know, we can't have that because a tripod needs all three legs to stand.' "
Once in Afghanistan, their unit was stationed at a small combat outpost called the Ranch House, situated on a ridgeline overlooking the village of Aranas in the country's northeastern mountains. On Aug. 22, 2007, the outpost was attacked by an overwhelming force of Taliban fighters, who were driven back only when the troops called in airstrikes on their own position.
Jeddah Deloria was one of 11 soldiers wounded after a rocket collapsed a building on top of him. It was Sean, working a light machine gun nearby, who kept the enemy from entering.
"He was a big part of why I'm still here," said Deloria, who now works for Oracle.
Suffering a minor shrapnel wound, Sean later told Jess that all he could think of during the firefight was getting home to her and their unborn daughter, whom they already had named Zoe.
The outpost was abandoned. But in early November, their platoon was ordered to return to Aranas for a meeting requested by village elders. Everyone was worried, and Sean called Jess and his parents with a request.
"He said, 'We're doing something dangerous, and I need you to pray for me. I'll call you later,' " Jess said. "But he never called me back. That was the last time we talked."
Heroism amid chaos
The knock on the door was just like in the movies, Jess said. She called his parents, Roxane and Drew, who were in Oregon where Sean's younger brother, Scott, played football at Lewis & Clark College.
The following days were a blur. However, one person stood out: White, who was among the three soldiers who were given permission to travel from Afghanistan for the funeral.
"We were so grateful that he was there, but you could tell that he was hurting," Roxane said. "Our family felt so badly for him. To be just 20 years old and experience what he had gone through. But we didn't want to ask too many questions because we could tell that he wasn't ready."
Recent media reports have given them a more complete picture of what happened that day.
Fourteen Americans and a squad of Afghan National Army soldiers had spent the night in the village, bunking at a school they helped build. But as the next day's meeting kept getting delayed, they became suspicious and started back.
The well-planned ambush caught them exposed on a narrow goat trail along a cliff face.
Albert and White remember it started with a single gunshot, a second, then all hell broke loose. Much of the platoon was forced down the steep ravine. A second group, including radio man White, huddled above with little concealment.
Initially knocked unconscious by a rocket blast, White saved one wounded soldier by applying tourniquets and repeatedly risked his life to drag another dying man to shelter. He exposed himself to fire from the unseen enemy again by crawling to their platoon leader, whom White discovered was dead.
"By that point, I had told myself that I was going to die," White said.
Despite being dazed by multiple concussions from explosions, White made radio reports, calling in artillery support and airstrikes. The fighting lasted four hours. However, it would be 20 hours before the evacuation was complete as White was the last man to board a helicopter.
He wouldn't know until hours later what Albert had witnessed.
After being shot in the knee, Albert tumbled down the cliff. At the bottom, he saw Sean, who wasn't moving. Later, when he was helped onto a medevac helicopter, Albert looked over and saw a face-down body. He stared at Sean's name on the back of his body armor.
"It was just so surreal," Albert said. "The cliché really is true: The good ones, the people with the best morals, values and who have children, those are ones who don't come home."
Life without Sean
Drew and Roxane's Walnut Creek home is filled with remembrances of Sean, who after his death was promoted to corporal and received commendations that include two Bronze Stars. Roxane is active in the American Gold Star Mothers. It helps being around families who understand exactly how the grief, even 6 ½ years later, still can come suddenly in waves.
Jess, 31, didn't take off her wedding band for 3 ½ years. After talking with Drew and Roxane, she went to Lake Merritt in Oakland, where Sean had proposed to her on a gondola.
She spread some of his ashes and said: It's time.
"Sean was adamant that if anything ever happened to him, he would want me to move on and be happy," said Jess, who now is in a serious relationship. "But it's just so hard as a wife to do that."
On opposite coasts, Jess and White don't see each other as much as they would like. But she was the first person he invited to the ceremony.
White had learned of the Medal of Honor in a phone call from President Barack Obama. He is the seventh living recipient from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Seven others have been awarded posthumously.
After retiring as a sergeant in 2011, he earned a finance degree and now works as an investment analyst in Charlotte, N.C. Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, he copes with the symptoms through exercise.
On his right wrist is a silver bracelet. It bears six names.
"All the guys who were killed that day would want the second chance I've been given," he said. "I live every day thinking that I need to make those guys proud."
Like Sean.
Follow Mark Emmons at Twitter.com/markedwinemmons.
Sgt. Kyle White
What: He will be presented the Medal of Honor in a White House ceremony Tuesday. White is the 14th recipient in the post-9/11 era. A Seattle-area native who lives in North Carolina, White, 27, is being honored for heroism during an ambush of his platoon in Afghanistan on Nov. 9, 2007.
Bay Area connection: White's best friend, Cpl. Sean Langevin, 23, of Walnut Creek, was one of six Americans and three Afghan National Army soldiers killed that day. Langevin posthumously was awarded two Bronze Stars, including one with valor, for bravery during the ambush and in a previous firefight.
Other casualties: Also killed were Capt. Matthew Ferrara, of Torrance; Cpl. Lester Roque, of Torrance; Sgt. Jeffery Mersman, of Parker, Kansas; Spc. Joseph Lancour, of Swartz Creek, Michigan; and Marine Sgt. Phillip Bocks, of Troy, Michigan, who attended high school in Truckee.
Medal of Honor: The nation's highest military award is presented to those who distinguish themselves with gallantry above and beyond the call of duty. There have been 3,487 previous recipients, according to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, and 77 are living.

Topic: Update on my dad
Hello again,
I posted a few days ago regarding my dad , he was diagnosed with CC this past March, you can see my first post on( Introductions) section.
I want to thank everyone for their advice and kind words.
My dad was taken into surgery yesterday morning , surgeon told us that he taught it was resectable and if it had spread to other parts he would not proceed with surgery. I walked with my dad as he was wheeled to the OR floor , I felt like I was going to faint , i held back my tears as much as I could. We were waiting in waiting area and two hours later nurse informed us that the Dr will proceed with surgery. Dad had the whipple surgery and was in OR from 11 Am until 8 pm. Surgeon told us that he had done biopsy while doing surgery and the cancer had not spread .
We got to see my dad after he was transferred to Intensive care, he was very groggy because of all the anesthesia but the surgery went well and his vitals are pretty good. I am very thankful to GOD because he heard our prayers, now I pray that my dad does not have any complications because this was a huge surgery.

Many will argue that Lohse was signed for too much money and years (4 years, $41M, in a down market where the Crads jumped the gun) but he has certainly been a durable pitcher in his career. I'd consider him similiar to Arroyo.

Advanced Encryption Standard
The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES is a NIST approved block cipher specified in FIPS 197, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). When using AES, one typically specifies a mode of operation and optionally a padding scheme. AES provides confidentiality only using most modes of operation (such as ECB and CBC). When operating the cipher in CCM, GCM, or EAX mode, the mode provides both confidentiality and authenticity.
If your project is using encryption alone to secure your data, encryption alone is usually not enough. Please take a moment to read Authenticated Encryption and understand why you should prefer to use CCM, GCM, or EAX over other modes, such as CBC or CTR.
Default Key Length
AES can use 16, 24, or 32 byte keys (128, 192, and 256 bits respectively). The default key length in Crypto++ is 16 bytes and specified by AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH.
Block Size
The block size is determined by AES::BLOCKSIZE. For AES, this is always 16 bytes.
Reference to block cipher object
You can also create a mode object that holds a reference to a block cipher object rather than an instance of it:
AES::Encryption aesEncryption(key, AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH); CFB_Mode_ExternalCipher::Encryption cfbEncryption(aesEncryption, iv);
ECB and CBC mode remarks
For ECB and CBC mode, you must process data in multiples of the block size. Alternatively, you can wrap StreamTransformationFilter around the mode object and use it as a filter object. The StreamTransformationFilter will buffer data into blocks and pad as required.
Sample Programs
The first snippet dumps the minimum, maximum, and default key lengths used by AES.
cout << "key length: " << AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH << endl; cout << "key length (min): " << AES::MIN_KEYLENGTH << endl; cout << "key length (max): " << AES::MAX_KEYLENGTH << endl; cout << "block size: " << AES::BLOCKSIZE << endl;
Output from the above snippet produces the following. Notice the default key size is 128 bits or 16 bytes.
key length: 16 key length (min): 16 key length (max): 32 block size: 16
Encrypting and Decrypting Using AES
The following example uses CFB mode and in-place encryption and decryption. Since the mode is not ECB or CBC, the data's length does not need to be a multiple of AES's block size.
AutoSeededRandomPool rnd; // Generate a random key SecByteBlock key(0x00, AES::DEFAULT_KEYLENGTH); rnd.GenerateBlock( key, key.size() ); // Generate a random IV byte iv[AES::BLOCKSIZE]; rnd.GenerateBlock(iv, AES::BLOCKSIZE); char plainText[] = "Hello! How are you."; int messageLen = (int)strlen(plainText) + 1; ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Encrypt CFB_Mode<AES>::Encryption cfbEncryption(key, key.size(), iv); cfbEncryption.ProcessData((byte*)plainText, (byte*)plainText, messageLen); ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Decrypt CFB_Mode<AES>::Decryption cfbDecryption(key, key.size(), iv); cfbDecryption.ProcessData((byte*)plainText, (byte*)plainText, messageLen);
Here is an example of getting the encryptor and decryptor using an externally generated key and IV:
byte aes_key[16]; byte iv[16]; // stub for how you really get it, e.g. reading it from a file, off of a // network socket encrypted with an asymmetric cipher, or whatever read_key(aes_key, sizeof(aes_key)); // stub for how you really get it, e.g. filling it with random bytes or // reading it from the other side of the socket since both sides have // to use the same IV as well as the same key read_initialization_vector(iv); // the final argument is specific to CFB mode, and specifies the refeeding // size in bytes. This invocation corresponds to Java's // Cipher.getInstance("AES/CFB8/NoPadding") auto enc = new CFB_Mode<AES>::Encryption(aes_key, sizeof(aes_key), iv, 1); // the final argument is specific to CFB mode, and specifies the refeeding // size in bytes. This invocation corresponds to Java's // Cipher.getInstance("AES/CFB8/NoPadding") auto dec = new CFB_Mode<AES>::Decryption(aes_key, sizeof(aes_key), iv, 1);
(After that they're used in exactly the same manner as in the previous example.)

First forum post! I've been playing for about 4 years, but only recently have I started playing on a regular basis (almost every weekend). I reached a point where practice by itself will not improve things so I need some advice. I hope to contribute more to the forum once I get familiar with the lingo and have some positive results to speak of.
Quick background:
right hand thrower, mostly backhand but some forehand.
my drives are decent, not great, but the course I play (Live Oak, Texas) does not require super long drives. Most are par 3 holes usually 240 feet to 270 feet, and a few over 300 and some 400 to 500 feet. The real trick is just avoiding the trees. Many have low branches. I can get it through the trees off the tee and can put myself in range for a par on most holes, but my midrange approach shots have been inconsistent and the result is usually a score of about +6 per 9 holes. I can score 4 or 5 pars but usually 4 bogeys and a double bogey.
I have some throws that I turn over too much. As a result, I choose discs that fade left but sometimes they fade too much and leave a long putt.
I feel like I need a consistent form and a reliable disc and with a bit of practice I can stay much closer to par. If you have advice, throw it at me.

Someone invite Frank the invisible homeless dude to a Halloween party
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Design
Frank here seems to be down on his luck, what with his homelessness and invisiblemanitus afflicting him. You may not have any cash to spare after decking yourself out in a ridiculously elaborate Halloween costume for work today, but he'd sure make a fun guest at your party this weekend, no?

More about cost estimating process analyzer projects
Gary Nichols concludes his series on the proper design and project management of process analyzer systems, this time addressing estimate accuracy and cost by project stage and work breakdown structure.
By Gary D. Nichols, PE, Principal Control Systems Engineer, Jacobs Engineering Group
The premise of this series on process analyzer systems is that analysis and optimization of full lifecycle costs describe the activities and results of a well-planned and well-run analyzer reliability program. In the first article ("How to Launch an Analyzer System Reliability Program," June '06), we discussed the analyzer system lifecycle from concept through wear-out and disposal. The second article ("Accurately Scoping Process Analyzer projects," Oct. '06) addressed the scope of process analyzer capital projects, while the third dealt with analyzer system documentation requirements during the lifecycle ("Project Roadmaps Get You There," Dec. '06). The fourth article ("Cost estimating for process analyzer projects," March '07) addressed made the case for accurate analyzer system project cost estimates, discussed the common causes and special factors that influence analyzer system estimates, and presented best practices to ensure accurate analyzer system estimates.
We'll now address estimate accuracy and cost by project stage, sources of estimating information, types of costs by work breakdown structure (WBS), and types of construction contracts. We recall from the first article in this series that we can break the analyzer project life cycle into five chronological stages (see Table 1 below). We shall confine our discussion in this article to Stages 1 through 3.
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 5
For the present discussion, let's assume that Stage 1, 2 and 3 estimate accuracies are typically ±40%, ±20% and ± 5%, respectively. These are sometimes referred to as screening, budget and definitive estimates. (See Clark and Lorenzoni, Applied Cost Engineering, 3rd ed., Marcel Dekker, New York, 1997.) Readers may encounter other stage-dependent accuracies, such as ±60%, ±25%, and ±10%, respectively. Sometimes there's a higher positive-side than negative-side spread. The point is that the estimate accuracy should become tighter as the project progresses. (See Peters and Timmerhaus, Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers, 2nd ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1968, or Kerridge and Vervalin, eds., Engineering and Construction Project Management, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, 1986.)
Let's now look more closely at why the stage-dependent estimate accuracies become progressively tighter. Stage 1 screening estimates can be very rough, perhaps even as rough as ±100%, because they're often used to make "go/no-go" decisions or to compare alternatives. For example, a concept proposal to add an analyzer system to the trays just below a column feed point for advanced process control may seem like a good idea to operations for controllability and product quality—until the screening cost is five-to-10 times more than expected.
Budgetary estimates in Stage 2 are used to obtain management approval either to proceed with the project in its entirety or, in the case of very large projects, to determine technical feasibility. For analyzer systems projects, the budgetary estimate should include analyzer systems and integrator proposals based on analyzer data sheets, specification narratives and process data sheets specific to the application at hand. Even at Stage 2, estimate accuracy is at risk when the analyzer system estimate is based on factoring, previous "similar" projects and extrapolation of experience.
The definitive estimate in Stage 3 includes the total installed cost, preliminary and detailed engineering and design costs up to the time of the estimate, direct materials and labor for all specially engineered and commodity items, and construction indirects. Field construction items—repairs, relocation, remediation, demolition, dismantling, decontamination, disposal and start-up—also must be included if these line items wouldn't be needed were the capital project scrubbed.
Capital or Expense?
Securities, tax and internal accounting rules dictate whether certain costs are "capitalized" or "expensed." Capitalized costs are spread over the life of the analyzer system and depreciated—subtracted from revenue—each year according to certain accounting formulas. Expensed costs are subtracted from revenue in their entirety the year in which they are incurred.
Whether a cost is treated as capital or expense can have a significant impact on the client/owner's financial performance for stockholders. The decision is generally the domain of the project controls and accounting departments, but the analyzer specialist responsible for estimating should be familiar with how the costs might be classified to be prepared to ask and answer financial and cost-accounting questions during estimate preparation.

A CHARITY which helps people with learning difficulties has invited councillors to attend a training course to help them understand the lives of their members.
It follows the comments allegedly made by Swindon Mayor Nick Martin last year, and members of the Swindon Advocacy Movement has felt following debates have shown a lack of understanding.
The charity wrote an open letter to council leader David Renard (Con, Haydon Wick) welcoming all councillors to take part in their Walk In My Shoes programme.
Martin Kelly, a self advocacy co-ordinator, at the charity said the gesture had not been made as a direct result of the comments but because of a perceived misunderstanding of certain issues.
He said: "This was not aimed at anyone in particular.
"Some of our members attended the council meeting in December and left feeling some people did not fully understand their rights.
"There was certainly nothing malicious but some things suggested an outdated point of view."
The mayor could not say whether he would be attending or not but Martin said he would be welcome to come along.
"Of course he is welcome to come along and he will be shown no prejudice," he said.
"This training is delivered by people with learning disabilities and increases awareness and understanding of the rights and needs of people with learning disabilities."
Coun Renard confirmed he would be attending the meeting and believed that, regardless of the circumstances, training of this nature was always helpful.
He said: "I received the letter a few weeks ago and am happy to be able to accept any offer of training for members.
"As a council we run a lot of training events on a variety of subjects which are always helpful.
"I will be encouraging other members to take part.
"I used to be the member for adult services so I am fully aware of all the fantastic work SAM do.
"For many members this is not something they would necessarily come across so training is helpful."
The leader of the Labour Group, Coun Jim Grant (Lab, Rodbourne Cheney) agreed with the importance of the course and will be attending.
He said: "I unequivocally support this learning disabilities training session taking place for councillors, particularly as it will be led by adults with learning disabilities.
"While I am in no doubt the vast majority of councillors have the utmost respect for people with learning disabilities, with the mayor's recent alleged comments being well documented it seems that we do not all have the right attitude towards people with learning disabilities.
"That is why this training session will be very important and I hope it will send a message to people with learning disabilities that all aspects of Swindon Council support them."

Castro out of Astros' lineup, but feeling better
ARLINGTON -- Astros catcher Jason Castro felt good enough to play Wednesday night, but manager Bo Porter kept him out of the starting lineup against the Rangers for a third consecutive game after he came down Sunday night with an undiagnosed pain in his left armpit.
While Castro doesn't know the cause of the pain, it has subsided with medication and rest. He said he could have played, and Porter said he could be used Wednesday in a pinch-hit situation.
"I feel a lot better today," Castro said. "The treatments and the anti-inflammatories have really been doing what they're supposed to, so it looks like hopefully it's behind us and I'm going to hit on the field today. I hit in the cage already and it even felt better than it did [Tuesday]. I'm pretty happy about that and should be fine moving forward."
Castro was hitting .462 (6-for-13) in three games prior to the injury after getting moved into the No. 2 spot in the batting order. Porter said since the team is scheduled to have a day off on Thursday, there was no use rushing Castro back too soon.
"We don't want there to be anything that would be a concern moving forward," he said. "Could he play today? He could probably play. Would he be pain free? Probably not. We'll take today and with the off-day tomorrow and the progress he's made, by Friday it will be completely behind us."
As for what caused the pain, Castro still isn't sure.
"Unless I was to get a blood test, I don't think they have a definitive answer," Castro said. "I think the best guess is that it was some kind of irritation with the lymph node. It wasn't swollen, necessarily. They couldn't find any swollen nodes in there, but some kind of irritation with it, and that's what was causing the pain."

Birmingham, AL (June 14th, 2011) – A line up of mostly Alabama native stars came together at Birmingham's BJCC Arena on June 14th to raise money and spirits for those ravaged by recent tornados. On April 27th, over 75% of the state of Alabama was devastated by a bizarre and vicious series of storms.
Among the areas hit especially hard was Tuscaloosa. A remarkable video of that tornado is at the end of this posting.

This is complete randomness by me, but I almost died when I read this. Before you ask, yes, I check out WWTTD on a daily basis.
http://www.wwtdd.com/Kevin Federline has set his sights on Lindsay Lohan and texted her last week, saying We should hang out. Umm, it didnt work. Us says:
She was totally grossed out, a Lohan pal tells Us. Says another, She thought it was hilarious. However, Federline didnt appreciate Lohans Why would I hang out with you? reply. He fired back, calling her a "firecrotch." Says the source, She couldnt believe he was so pathetic. She doesnt want him using her to make Britney jealous.God damn, is there any way this dude could embarrass himself any more. I guess he could have asked out Lindsay while wearing a diaper and a purple top hat. And then sat down on a cactus, and then ran around yelping while he tried to get the cactus out. You know what, never mind. This is pretty much the same thing.

will.i.am + 2NE1 Collaborate on 'Gettin' Dumb'
Subscribe to PopCrush on
Will.i.am has leaked yet another song off of '#willpower,' this time a collaboration with K-Pop group 2NE1. 'Gettin' Dumb' has pretty appropriate lyrics for the song's title, but the song itself a catchy mix of hip-hop, pop and K-Pop.
The gals and Will team up for gems like, "I've been working everyday / I've be waiting for time to play / Call all my people / Let's paint the town / Bring that fire / Let's burn it down / I've been serious all the time / And tonight I'll lose my mind / I've been working all week but tonight we're gettin' dumb / We're gettin' dumb / We go out / Get dumb / We drink / Get dumb." On the bright side, that's a lot less offensive than 'Let's Get Retarded.'
2NE1's Bom and CL spit rhymes and sing beautifully, but the other gals are virtually inaudible over the beat. Will serves essentially as a hype man for the ladies, only occasionally inserting a few ad libs and hardly a full verse.
This is likely the first collabo between 2NE1 and will.i.am that most American audiences have heard, but it likely won't be the last — he's producing their U.S. debut, thought it has no set release date just yet.

There's a new centralized wholesale market in Skagit Valley, Washington. It's not exactly a terminal market, in the traditional sense — it only has 14 or 15 vendors there, and it opens only on Thursdays during the summer.
In fact, the market doesn't even have its own facility. Organizers admit it's more an improvised location — under an Interstate 5 overpass on property owned by the Skagit Valley Food Co-op in Mount Vernon.
"All the transactions are directly between buyers and vendors," said Erin Treat, the co-op's assistant outreach coordinator who was involved in organizing the Skagit Valley WholeSale Market. "Customers have to preorder, and they deliver the product."
Nobody knows how successful the market will be, but it has shown promise in its first season, Treat said.
"It's crucial in establishing relationships between food suppliers and customers," she said.
Among those customers are foodservice buyers, including those from institutions, schools and hospitals, Treat said.
"United General Hospital (in nearby Sedro-Woolley) comes to the market every week," Treat said. "It's really cool to see the connections and the relationships being established. It's nice to go to restaurants and see menus products grown down the street."
Andy Ross, owner of Mount Vernon, Wash.-based Skagit Flats Farms, pushed for the idea, although most of product is sold to Seattle wholesaler Charlie's Produce.
"I think there is potential," he said. "Some people have put a lot of energy into it. "There has to be a price incentive. The buyers have to be able to certainly pay no more and maybe pay less (than elsewhere) … They have to want to promote that local, fresh from the farm."
The Puget Sound Food Network, based in Mount Vernon, is a partner in the venture.
"We came together with the co-op to build the idea to a working concept," said Lucy Norris, regional food system developer for the network. "Since they were hosting, they had vendors in the Skagit Valley and they said we'll pick half the vendors and PSFN has a membership database of farmers in the region, and we said what products do we need to get a balance."
The market fills a niche for smaller-scale growers, as well as buyers who are looking for valley-grown product, Norris said.
"There are some who may not use a broker or distributors for various reasons," she said. "Maybe they don't have the volume."
The market concept has been tried before and didn't work, but Norris said it can work, if given time,"
"People told us this had been tried 10 years ago and why bother, but let's see if we can pull this off without any overhead expenses except the time we spend," Norris said.
"We started working on this in February and that we were able to launch it June 24, I think it's working. We have plenty of people coming back every week and doubling and tripling their orders. Farmers are coming back. They wouldn't if they weren't selling."
Norris said the market is reminiscent of a smaller-scale terminal market from bygone days.
"It's very 19th century," she said. "And we're under a highway underpass. The fact that we've talked to 27 unique buyers and half those people show up and increase their orders is positive."

EL FASHER, Sudan – At the airstrip here in the heart of Darfur, the Ilyushin cargo planes fly in day after day, their holds packed with the stuff of war: troops, trucks, bombs and guns.
So far, negotiations over a proposed U.N. force to shore up the shaky peace in Darfur have limped along with no sign of compromise. The opposing sides in the conflict now seem headed toward a large-scale military confrontation, bringing Darfur to the edge of a new abyss.
"Unfortunately, things seem to be headed in that direction," said Gen. Collins Ihekire, commander of the beleaguered 7,000-member African Union force that is enforcing a fragile peace agreement between the government and one rebel group.
Nearly four months after signing the agreement, the government is preparing a fresh assault against the rebel groups that refused to sign. Years of conflict have already killed hundreds of thousands of people here and sent 2.5 million fleeing their homes. But that may be a prelude of the death likely to come from further fighting, hunger and disease. In the past few months, killings of aid workers and hijackings of their vehicles, mostly by rebel groups, have forced aid groups to curtail programs to feed, clothe and shelter hundreds of thousands of people.
"We have less access now than we did in 2004 when things were really bad," said one senior aid official in El Fasher, speaking on the condition of anonymity because outspoken aid workers have been penalized and expelled by the government. "If there were a major military offensive you could be looking at a complete evacuation of humanitarian workers in North Darfur, which would leave millions without a lifeline."
Diplomatically, Sudan has taken a hard line, refusing to allow any international peacekeepers other than the small and relatively powerless African Union force already in place.
The U.N. Security Council plans to vote today on a resolution that would replace the 7,000 African Union troops with some 21,000 U.N. troops and police officers, but the resolution specifies that the troops will not deploy without the consent of the Sudanese government.
A visit to Khartoum this week by Jendayi E. Frazer, assistant secretary of state for African Affairs, failed to produce an agreement, potentially leaving the people of Darfur without any international peacekeepers to protect them. The African Union force has only enough money to keep going until Sept. 30, when its mandate officially ends. As it is now, its troops have not been paid, in some cases for months. It is perpetually running short of fuel, food and equipment, and its suppliers, who also have waited months for payment, are reluctant to make new deliveries. Helicopter flights that deliver all but the most essential goods – food and medicine for the troops – have been canceled.
Beyond that, the force is finding itself increasingly drawn into the battle between the government and the rebels. An attack on a fuel convoy earlier this month was suspected to be the work of rebels. Two Rwandan soldiers were killed in an intense firefight that lasted hours. Rebel leaders deny that they were involved in the ambush, but nevertheless say that the African Union is biased because it brokered a peace agreement they reject.
Most ominous is the looming confrontation between government troops and rebel holdouts, set to take place on a battlefield that is home to 250,000 people, and could easily set off a chain of battles across Darfur. "It would be catastrophic," said another senior aid official with a different agency, asking not to be named for fear of retribution from the Sudanese government. "In terms of loss of life it could dwarf the killings in 2003 and 2004."
In that period alone, at least 180,000 people died from attacks on villages by government forces and their allied Arab militias, known as the janjaweed, and in battles with non-Arab rebel groups seeking greater power in the region. The violence brought on widespread hunger and disease, often the most lethal killers here.
El Fasher was once a sleepy state capital in an impoverished, backward part of Sudan. Now it is a garrison town swarming with government troops in crisp new uniforms driving shiny trucks mounted with 50-millimeter guns.
The government has made no secret of its intentions – it submitted a plan to the Security Council earlier this month stating its plan to use 10,500 of its own troops to crush the rebellion, a move that would violate the peace agreement it just signed, according to Ihekire.
The rebel movements that refused to sign the Darfur peace agreement have massed in a vast swath of territory north of here, gaining strength and flexing their muscle in attacks on government troops and their allies, as well as on the African Union force.
In an interview deep in the territory they hold, commanders of the new rebel alliance, the National Redemption Front, said they were ready for a fight.
"Our capabilities are unlimited, on the air and on the ground, to repel them," said Jarnabi Abdul Kareem, a top rebel commander.

Hunter Boots
Despite Hunter Boots' present day reputation as a quintessentially British rain boot brand, it was actually founded in Scotland by an American entrepreneur, Henry Lee Norris. The company has been focused on practical, waterproof shoes since its nineteenth century launch, though, and spent decades providing industrial-grade rubber footwear to tradesmen and soldiers before cementing its place in English culture with the 1956 debut of its iconic Hunter Boots "Original Boot." A sleek, all purpose wellie, the classic Hunter rainboots earned the label two Royal Warrants—the highest honor one can receive for providing the Queen, Duke, or Prince with goods or services—a celebrity fan base, and enough momentum to expand into a full ready-to-wear collection in fall 2014.

A teenage sex attack victim has criticised Longleat bosses after worker Yacine Abdi was convicted of two assaults on colleagues while on duty at the park.
She is angry nothing was done after the former assistant food and beverages manager was accused of carrying out an assault on a colleague a year before she started.
Salisbury magistrates found Abdi, 41, of Chestnut Close, Frome, guilty of touching two teenagers, both employees at the park, without their consent.
The first incident took place on April 14, 2012, at the adventure park in Warminster, while the second incident also happened at the park on June 15 last year. He will be sentenced on February 7.
His second victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was 17 at the time of the assault.
She said: "The first incident occurred before I started work at Longleat and they investigated it, but decided there was not enough evidence, so didn't do anything about it.
"They apparently said they would put cameras in the kiosks, but that didn't happen. Then in June last year I started at Longleat and within two weeks he sexually assaulted me."
She added: "I believe it happened partly due to Longleat not putting cameras in the kiosks. I just don't accept how Longleat sorted it out.
"I left Longleat almost straight after the incident. I want to highlight the fact that Longleat didn't take the first incident seriously. They didn't really deal with the issue or provide me or the other girl affected with any help.
"If they had taken her incident more seriously then it wouldn't have happened again."
A Longleat spokesman said: "We take the wellbeing of our employees extremely seriously. Mr Abdi is no longer employed by Longleat, and had been suspended from his post as assistant food and beverage manager since June 2013.
"Given that the criminal process is still ongoing Longleat are not able to comment any further on this matter."

Dedication Speaker
Historian and Author Niall Ferguson To Give the Featured Address for the Friday, October 21, Kravis Center Dedication Convocation
British historian, award-winning documentarian, and author Niall Ferguson will be the featured speaker at a special Convocation on Friday, October 21, celebrating the dedication of the new Kravis Center at Claremont McKenna College. Designed to a LEED-gold standard, the Center is the first building on campus to make a significant architectural statement about the importance that CMC places on the educational efforts of its teacher-scholars and outstanding students.
The building provides a new gateway to the western entrance of the campus, including a new welcome center for the Office of Admission, and houses state-of-the-art classrooms, five of the College's 10 research institutes, faculty offices for four academic departments, the Office of Financial Aid, the Center for Writing and Public Discourse, and a new data center. It was completed over the summer and named the Kravis Center in recognition of a $75 million gift from the Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Foundation in 2008.
"This building establishes a new standard for architectural excellence at CMC," says President Pamela Gann. "The dedication on October 21 will give our CMC community an opportunity to visit the new building and observe first-hand how our students and faculty are utilizing their outstanding new spaces.
Dedication activities will highlight student-faculty research and include a special Convocation at 3 p.m., a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and celebratory reception. Click here for a full schedule of events.
About Niall Ferguson
Ferguson, MA, D.Phil, is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University and William Ziegler Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. He is also a senior research Fellow at Jesus College, Oxford University, and a senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.
(Ferguson spoke at a TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference in July on "The 6 Killer Apps of Prosperity," proposing his ideas on why Western cultures have been so good at creating general prosperity for themselves. Watch his 20-minute talk.)
Born in Glasgow in 1964, he was a Demy at Magdalen College and graduated with First Class Honours in 1985. After two years as a Hanseatic Scholar in Hamburg and Berlin, he took up a Research Fellowship at Christ's College, Cambridge, in 1989, subsequently moving to a Lectureship at Peterhouse. He returned to Oxford in 1992 to become Fellow and Tutor in Modern History at Jesus College, a post he held until 2000, when he was appointed Professor of Political and Financial History at Oxford. Two years later he left for the United States to take up the Herzog Chair in Financial History at the Stern Business School, New York University, before moving to Harvard in 2004. Until this year he had a joint appointment at Harvard and was concurrently Tisch Professor of History and William Ziegler Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School.
His first book, Paper and Iron: Hamburg Business and German Politics in the Era of Inflation 1897-1927 (Cambridge University Press, 1995), was short-listed for the History Today Book of the Year award, while the collection of essays he edited, Virtual History: Alternatives and Counterfactuals (Macmillan, 1997), was a UK bestseller and subsequently published in the United States, Germany, Spain and elsewhere.
In 1998 he published to international critical acclaim The Pity of War: Explaining World War One (Basic Books) and The World's Banker: The History of the House of Rothschild (Penguin). The latter won the Wadsworth Prize for Business History and was also short-listed for the Jewish Quarterly/Wingate Literary Award and the American National Jewish Book Award. In 2001 he published The Cash Nexus: Money and Power in the Modern World, 1700-2000 (Basic), following a year as Houblon-Norman Fellow at the Bank of England.
His most recent book, Civilization: The West and the Rest, will be published by Penguin in November (2011). The London Sunday Times called the book "a masterpiece ... a pulsing energy suffuses his account and fascinating facts burst like fireworks on every page."
Ferguson is also an award-winning documentary maker. In 2003 he wrote and presented a six-part history of the British Empire for Channel 4, the UK terrestrial broadcaster. A year later came the sequel, Colossus: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire. The War of the World was his first series to air on PBS and was followed in 2009 by The Ascent of Money, which won the International Emmy award for Best Documentary. He is currently working on a life of Henry Kissinger. The film, based on his interviews with Kissinger, won the 2011 New York Film Festival prize for Best Documentary.
A weekly columnist for Newsweek and a contributing editor for Bloomberg TV, as well as an adviser to leading financial institutions, he divides his time between the United States and the United Kingdom.
In 2004, Time magazine named him one of the world's hundred most influential people. He was one in a handful of writers on economics to accurately predict the financial crisis that began in 2007.

Workington 1, Guiseley 1
Guiseley failed to seal their place in the Skrill Conference North play-offs with a game to spare when they were held to a draw at already-relegated Workington.
That means the battle for the last play-off place will go down to the wire but the Lions are favourites. All they need to do is avoid a home defeat against struggling Gloucester City next Saturday.
The Lions travelled north with the intention of getting the job done at Workington but boss Mark Bower had warned his side not to take anything for granted.
There were chances at both ends in the goalless first half and the home side broke the deadlock seven minutes into the second half through Godwin Abadaki. However, their lead lasted just seven minutes as Adam Boyes netted Guiseley's equaliser.
The visitors were not able to push on and the better late chances were forced by proud Workington as they played their last home game in the Conference North - for at least a season.
Bower said: "We didn't deserve to win the game. Our performance lacked energy, spark and quality. But it could be an important point because we obviously only need one instead of three on Saturday."
All of the other places for the end-of-season extras were wrapped up today so it is a straight fight between Guiseley and Boston United for the last play-off berth.
Guiseley are three points above Boston but the Pilgrims have a much better goal difference.

The Buddha extolled generosity. He said "When asked, give even if you only have a little." (Dhp.224).
My step-brother (well, not exactly, because my mother and his father are not married) is addicted to gambling (online poker). A few days ago he asked me for 20 euros. I gave him 5 because that was all I had. Later, my mother told me not to give him any money anymore because he used it only for playing poker. Today he asked me for 7 euros and I said "I don't give money."
I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing by not giving money to a gambler. I haven't heard of generosity being discouraged, but surely giving to a gambler doesn't yield much fruit.

In this meta-analysis, researchers evaluated 21 studies with a total of 543,220 participants, which looked at the link between allium vegetable consumption and stomach (gastric) cancer. These vegetables include garlic, leeks, chives, scallions, and onions.
Results showed that people who ate the highest amount of allium veggies had a nearly 50% lower risk of stomach cancer compared with people who ate the least. For every 20 grams per day (average weight of 1 garlic bulb) of allium vegetables that participants ate they experienced a 9% decrease in stomach cancer risk.
In addition to calling for more research, the study authors comment, "Allium vegetables contain high levels of flavonols and organosulfur compounds, which contribute to the anticancer effects." They add that such vegetables "have an antibacterial effect against Helicobacter pylori, which is a key risk factor for gastric cancer." Helicobacter pylori is a type of bacteria commonly found in people's stomachs and has been linked to inflammation of the stomach lining, ulcers, and stomach cancer.
