The U.S. Would Love to Have Australia's Problems
Australia is facing the threat of inflation, as demand for the products the country mines has revved up the economy.
Australia's currency is already up significantly this year, having appreciated 26% against the U.S. dollar, according to Bloomberg.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has declined to raise rates this year. That may prove costly should inflation spiral out of control before the RBA can act.
Increasing demand for Australia's coal and iron ore exports, along with the increase in price of these commodities, has driven an investment boom in the country. Australia is exporting a significant percentage of these commodities to nearby economic powerhouse China.
The RBA's governor Glenn Stevens should pay close attention to the recent economic events in Turkey, a country which saw its inflation skyrocket in just 30 days.
While some economic commentators in the United States have warned of inflation entering the American economy, Australia's problem is one the United States would love to have. Fears of U.S. inflation are primarily based on the belief that there will be a continuing decline in investors' willingness to hold the dollar, as the U.S. government's debt balloons and the economy stays stagnant.
Australia's inflation, on the other hand, is driven by rapid economic growth and an increasing velocity of money.
If the RBA raises interest rates, it may be bullish for the Australian dollar. Traders looking to play Australian dollar strength might consider CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust (NYSE: FXA). FXA attempts to return a value corresponding to the general strength of the Australian dollar, and may rally if the Australian dollar appreciates.
Alternatively, traders may seek gains in the New Zealand dollar. WisdomTree Dreyfus New Zealand Dollar Fund (NYSE: BNZ) tries to correlate with the general strength of the New Zealand dollar, and may rally if the Australian dollar rallies, as the New Zealand dollar has correlated with the Australian dollar in the past.

From the Bride.. As every couple does, we wanted to have a wedding that exemplified who we are as a couple and one that displayed the love we have for one another and for those around us. We fell in love with our venue at the Landmark Art and Garden Center. It to me was like an intimate secret garden, back-dropped by the San Francisco Bay. We imagined the wedding to have the natural rustic beauty of the garden with touches of elegance and refinement. I loved the combination of textures with burlap, lace and pearl and much of the decorations and details were a labor of love between my mother and me. My mother created the lace and pearl trimmed burlap runners, the raw silk cushion covers for the stone benches, and fashioned the wagon for the flower girls and ring bearer. I created the doily/lace lanterns, the flower girl fascinators (which had lace rosettes with gold and pearl buttons and a cream veil), designed our wedding program poster and scoured flea markets and antique stores in search of finishing touches like candelabras, antique cake stands, picture frames and chandeliers.
On the big day to see everything come together as we imagined was surreal and I was brought to tears at how perfect it all was. The weather was gorgeous and all our vendors handled everything seamlessly. The inside of the cottage was decorated intimately with family and childhood photos of the two of us. It felt like you were in our home and getting a glimpse of each of our family's history. The flowers were so beautifully done with the centerpieces being either wooden flower boxes, galvanized buckets, or mason jars all carrying a mix of wild field-like flowers and herb sprigs. Our music was our own personal soundtrack and was a blended selection of songs all thoughtfully chosen by Kevin and me. Our processional song, "Tous Les Garcons et Les Filles" by Francoise Hardy, was a song selection that was very special to me because of it being so loved by the many generations of my family who had listened to it when they were in Vietnam and when they immigrated to the states. Being both foodies, Kevin and I wanted to have a diverse menu and in addition to our catering had brought in specially made Vietnamese spring rolls, and splurged on an Oyster Bar. With our open bar we also made sure we had some of the best wines and champagne to celebrate with! The laid-back atmosphere of our wedding made it comfortable and easy for our family and friends to roam around the garden and cottage mingling, drinking, eating and enjoying all the personal details we had created for the wedding.
One friend of mine told me "Your wedding was the most beautiful, elegant wedding I've ever been to that turned into the biggest party!" Which made me so happy to hear because although the day was a celebration of our marriage, it was also a day to honor all the people who had been with us through these years and gotten us there, and knowing everyone was having as much fun as us made the day the happiest of our lives! Kevin and I are so blessed to have found one another and to have had such a perfect day to celebrate it!

In Reply to: Re: side effects of adderall? posted by Joanie on January 02, 2000 at 22:09:26:
: : : : My 7-yr old son has just been diagnosed with ADHD and his neurologist has suggested adderall. I am looking to find out side effects and actual effects of this medication before I decide to use this med. He has never used anything before. He is a good student now, but he is very, very hyperactive and impulsive. He does not know what he is doing half of the time. : : : : Please let me know of personal experiences with this medication so I can start to make a : decision.: : : : Thank you: My f14 year old daughter has been on adderal for about 2 months. She has been on ritalin for several years but it seemed to lose its effectiveness after puberty. It seems to have a much smoother effect on her and she is doing very well. She takes 10mg. in the morning before school and around 1:30 she feels like she needs another dose and goes to the nurse to get it. We were hoping it would last throughout the school day but doesn't seem to. We are not experiencing any negative side effects.: Joanie
: : : My daughter was just started on adderall about a week ago. She has taken several meds in the past to help her stay focused and calm down a bit but none of the meds have worked- all had awful side effects. Now she is on 2.5 mg of adderall. What I am noticing is she is a little and when I see little, I mean little calmer. The one thing I do not like though and I am not sure if it is related to the adderall though, it seems as though at the end of the day she is overly hyper (when meds have worn off)
: : I am an adult and have been taking Adderall for about 9 months. Could not use Ritilan because of rebound but I do not have any with Adderall. You do have to watch out for dry mouth and dental/gum health. Does last longer and less obvious at onset. Delay time for me is about one hour before it begins working. Lasting 5/6 hours.
My son is going to start taking adderall, tomorrow. He was on ritilin, but it seems to have quit working for him. We were scared because one of the side-affects listed is a possible dependency. Thanks for all your comments. I feel a little better about trying it, knowing that you've all had good experiences.

Why must people bash other people who ride different bikes to them?
Why do some people decide that the type of bike they ride is better than the type of bike someone else rides?
Why can't everyone just enjoy riding bikes?
Bike Forum
Fakenger, Fixie, SS, 29er, Hardtail, 10" downhill bike
Why must people bash other people who ride different bikes to them?
Narrow minded, and they like to sound clever.
it's the human condtion, though, isn't it?
create 'them' and 'us' in everything that we do and then fear the 'them'.
because people are comfortable with what they know and are afraid of change or something different that is potentially offensive to their sensibilities.
deep down in their subconscious changing their opinion of something where the opinion is based on no direct experience is basically admitting they are wrong.
nobody wants to admit they are wrong do they?
or as my late grandfather would say "afraid they might like it"
or as i say "just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's wrong"
What peterpoddy and Mr smith said...
Spot on. IT's all bike just enjoy it
Unless it's frigging road biking
We mountain bikers are rugged individualists. We are not swayed by fashion or marketing. Our equipment choices are the result of technical understanding and the desire to push the boundaries of our demanding sport. Mountainbiking is a manly pursuit, to which women, homosexuals and arts students are unsuited. It is free of pretension and affectation and represents a uniquely authentic culture of risk-taking, live-on-the-edge vibrancy and innovation.
We mountainbikers enjoy riding our bikes more than other so-called cycclist precisely because we do it out of the childlike, innocent joy that comes from finding something truly worthy and pursuing it unselfconsciously.
Unlike roadies, who ride bicycles to suppress their bizarre deviant sexual urges, various classes of touring bike rider who are just angry and frustrated walkers with bicycles, unlike hipsters in their sisters' jeans who only ride bicycles because it's fashionable, we do it purely because it is so much damn fun and we are so damn great at it. And you expect us not to put other people right about how pathetic they are???!!
last weekend i found myself mentally objecting to the number of numpty/weekend/once a year riders out on the roads.
nodding their way along in the sunshine, pi$$ing off the motorists.
for all the good i see in more people cycling, all i could see was those motorists transferring their rage to monday rushour, when there would only be me for them to cut up.
selfish, pathetic, wrong, i know - least im honest eh?
BD, i want that lot etched on my commuter
i actualy got laughed at for riding a DH bike arround cannock, then proceeded to chase down the holier than thou cotic/dialled/on-one twits and overtook them.
DH bikes, they'r just like hardtails, but faster. You dont need one to ride arround cannock, but you do want to ride one!
BigDummy - that's very good.
Narrow minded and afraid of change. I think I agree.
I'm also starting to see why people get defensive and feel the need to have a go at other people and their bikes... Thisisnotaspoon, I ride a dialled holeshot, (amongst other things) and now you have had a pop, I'm feeling the need to have a pop back. I could do, but I won't. I'm now wondering if people poke fun at other peoples bikes because they feel inadequate about themselves, their riding, and thier bikes?
It's easy to pidgeon-hole things isn't it?
Soobalias, You have more right to ride/have fun than someone who rides less than you? Odd?
Do people who drive less have less of a right to drive, too?
It depends, fixie hate is acceptable. Jumping red lights or riding dangerously with no brakes ruins any reputation cyclists have. That's not saying all riders of fixie's ride like that, but as soon as you're on the road riding a bike without brakes you're a liability.
what about BMX's without brakes are they a liability too?
people seem quite happy to lump all fixed riders together assuming they all ride brakeless while wearing their sisters jeans. but this is a recent phenomenon. people have been riding fixed on the road for over a century.
it has nothing to do with rights...
i just have to deal with the consequences of other riders (unintentional) bad etiquette.
I would much rather the cars were off the roads
what about BMX's without brakes are they a liability too?
Yes, if used on the road/pavement.
I did state not all fixie riders are like that, but they are a type of bike that often has no brakes.
i wasnt having a pop at hardtail riders (i dont actualy own any full sussers)
just saying that that particular 5" travel steel hardtail at cannock clique (of which normaly im a member) decided to mock my choice of bike for that lap. Laughing at it and commenting to each other about how unsuitable it was.
Solomanda, do all fixie riders jump red lights? Do fixie riders jump red lights more than any other type of bike rider, or do you just notice it more because you dislike fixies?
Bikes shouldn't be on pavements, or riden through red lights. I don't think anyone want's to be tarred with the "all cyclists jump red lights" brush. I don't expect fixie riders don't want to be either.
Ok, exclude the jump red lights issue. They shouldn't be on the road without brakes. They deserve abuse, shame the police don't have the resources to enforce it.
Fixie riders with brakes are fine.
Solomanda, do all fixie riders jump red lights?
Of course - it's cos they can't stop properly.
See? I was right. People are trying to sound clever again....
most of it is banter, some of it is opinion
you can't stop either, it's a sport of extremes
[pedant mode]
If you want to be accurate, a fixed wheel bike always has one legal brake, what you mean to say is that a fixed wheel bike should not be on the road if it doesn't also have a brake on the front wheel.
[/pedant mode]
all bikes are great, except fixies, which (away from the track), are about as much fun as a poo sandwich.
Suppose it's how you see yourself. I cycle, I ride bikes, be it MTB's or road, it's alll the same.
i actualy got laughed at for riding a DH bike arround cannock, then proceeded to chase down the holier than thou cotic/dialled/on-one twits and overtook them.
DH bikes, they'r just like hardtails, but faster. You dont need one to ride arround cannock, but you do want to ride one!
this isn't actually true is it? a real DH bike is an utter pig to pedal. i can walk faster than a V10 in the car park.
fixies are about as much fun as a poo sandwich
some people like that kind of thing though
BD has it!
there is a lot of inadequacy in mountain biking that's true. summed up by the (small) willy waving that unfortunately goes with it. Its just the way it is these days what with all the new product coming out and the price of it people lose sight of the fact that it's all about (for the majority) going out and having fun and getting fit along the way. I come from a skating background and for us it was all about supporting and encouraging eachother to push our own personal boundaries on a plank of wood with wheels on it and everyone was completely cool about that and because we all had basically the same set up there was no opportunity to take the piss out of someone else's choice of board. either you had a double kick, a turbo 2 or a longboard but it was rare to see any of the latter. so in that sense it was all about the skating. I have met some real w*nkers through mountain biking recently; thoroughly bitter and nasty little men who get a real kick out of little acts of one-upmanship. my mates older brother for example on his full carbon FS epic complaining he could have finished the ride sooner if it wasnt for so-and-so..... burns my ears and recently got sick of it and said something and due to his very fragile temprament he threatened to "wrap my bike around my head you sill little c***". i never met anyone like that through skateboarding only thoughtful respectful people most of who are now my closest friends. its making me question wether i want to be part of this mountain biking clique or not.
because all bikes are great...
apart from yours.
Actually, I think Bomberman is right. There's a lot of kit involved and a lot of people for whom kit is the most important part. Other similar 'sports' have much less kit buying opportunities and, maybe as a result, less attitude.
To some extent I think there is common ground between everyone that rides. Bomberman's story hits another nail on the head, though. Other less kit-oriented activities don't leave room for this kind of one-upmanship. Biking does, but thankfully there are masses of riders who just don't care about scoring points. It's possible to be interested in the kit without being a nob, but wherever there are consumers there'll be that kind of venom.
Let's just all be friends!

Relay for Life chair believes in miracles
For Kurt Gundacker it's not a matter of if his cancer will return, it's a matter of when. That's just the way melanoma works, explained Gundacker on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
It's scary for the 66 year-old Rosemount resident, but it's the nature of the disease he has been battling for the last seven years.
Gundacker, the 2010 Rosemount Relay for Life chair, started his battle with skin cancer in 2003. He had a sore on his foot. He knew he needed to get it checked out but put it off.
"I should have taken care of it sooner," said Gundacker.
Then, during a routine physical exam, his family doctor noticed the spot and told him he needed to get it checked by a dermatologist. He had the spot biopsied and it came back positive for melanoma.
He then had to have a larger area of the inside of his foot taken off. They also checked his lymph nodes to see if the cancer had spread. It had, and that meant Gundacker had some decisions to make. He had 14 lymph nodes removed. His doctor in Minneapolis recommended he undergo chemotherapy as well.
Being in the health care business, Gundacker knew he didn't want to do that, so he asked for a referral to the Mayo Clinic. His doctor there recommended he start on a drug called Leukine.
"Their philosophy is to not kill the good cells, which chemo does," said Gundacker of Mayo's oncology department.
He stayed on Leukine and had nearly five cancer free years. Then in 2008, like a beast, the melanoma returned.
Gundacker was traveling to Texas for a business trip. He had been having headaches and his wife, Rita, had noted that his behavior was abnormal.
"Kurt usually hates to be late and I kept having to tell him to hurry up or he was going to miss his flight. It just wasn't like him," said Rita.
While talking to his nurse over the phone, Rita commented on his symptoms. The nurse told Rita that Gundacker needed to come in right way.
Gundacker flew back and doctors found a four-centimeter tumor in the front of his head. Rita said the area of the brain where the tumor was located affects a person's scheduling and decision making.
Within days doctors surgically removed the tumor from Gundacker's brain. It turned out he had stage four melanoma. He underwent radiation therapy and then went on an oral chemotherapy. His nurse told them that the average life expectancy is nine months.
"It was a very scary time," said Rita.
Gundacker didn't give up though. He went back on Leukine and has been cancer-free since. That was more than 28 months ago.
While he's happy to be cancer free as of June, Gundacker knows how quickly that could change. He goes down to Mayo for scans every couple of months. Gundacker will be able to push back the scans if he stays cancer free for longer. But the longest he will ever be able to go is six month.
"We want to catch it early, treat it and move on," said Gundacker.
So for now he's in holding pattern. He's cancer free but he knows that can change at any time.
"You just don't know. I'm always stressed out to some level," said Gundacker.
One of the ways he has dealt with the stress is to keep working. Gundacker, a retired Army soldier, works for the Veterans Health Administration. He plans to retire at the end of August but will continue to do some consulting.
Additionally, he has kept physically active. While he can't run long miles anymore, he walks with Rita and his golden retriever, Autumn. He even hopes to hit the slopes this winter, something he hasn't done in several years.
"They're my support group," said Gundacker, smiling at his wife and dog alike. "Rita has been tremendous."
As honorary chair for the Rosemount Relay for Life Gundacker plans to share some of his story and also wants to warn people about the dangers of the sun.
"Use sunscreen, don't use tanning beds and get checked," said Gundacker.
He's looking forward to the event and hopes to see lots of people out there.
The Rosemount Relay for Life starts at 6 p.m. Friday at Rosemount High School.

Gas laws, Laws that relate the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas. Boyle's law—named for Robert Boyle—states that, at constant temperature, the pressure P of a gas varies inversely with its volume V, or PV = k, where k is a constant. Charles's law—named for J.-A.-C. Charles (1746–1823)—states that, at constant pressure, the volume V of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute (Kelvin) temperature T, or V/T = k. These two laws can be combined to form a single generalization of the behaviour of gases known as an equation of state, PV = nRT, where n is the number of gram-moles of a gas and R is called the universal gas constant. Though this law describes the behaviour of an ideal gas, it closely approximates the behaviour of real gases. See also Joseph Gay-Lussac.

Nano outputting 16 ch in CPPM mode?
Jim -
I am trying to get PPM support working with a Nano for an AutoQuad multicopter FC. Despite lots of effort by the devs, I've been getting inconsistent or erratic results. This morning I put a scope on the Nano's output and it appears that it's sending out 16 channels per frame (max that the Tx is capable of)?
No wonder, since the FC is only expecting 12 channels max.
I thought the Evo only sent out the number of channels defined in the Servo Assignment screen. I have 6 channels defined in the first 6 slots. All the rest are blank.
Is the above no longer correct for Evo firmware v3.41?
Multiplex Royal Evo12 upgraded to v3.41 firmware, defined channels are in UNI mode.
XPS Nano v.17 in PPM mode, connected to Pin 1 for positive going pulses
Am I misinterpreting something?
- Felix
Last edited by GoFaster; Aug 02, 2012 at 11:20 AM. Reason: more info
Some more scope captures and questions. All except the last is capture at the Nano's pins.
It appears that if a channel's minimum endpoint is set somewhere below -100%, the TX module or the Nano gets confused and the PPM stream is corrupted.
It seems OK if the max endpoint is set 100%-110%, looks like the max pulse is clamped to ~2.1ms
Also, if more than 6 channels are defined, it appears that the next undefined channel has a default pulse width of ~1ms, compared to 1.5ms of other undefined channels. Is is because although the Nano seems to be capable of handling more than 6 channels in PPM, this is unsupported?
I've also seen guard pulse lengths of ~2.5ms which is shorter than the 2.7ms you've mentioned. This is when multiple stick and switches are at full deflection.
PPM support was recently introduced for this FC and I'd am trying to get the Nano working in PPM mode. 10/11bit Spektrum and S.BUS is working. I'd rather not stick a PWM->S.BUS encoder plus hex inverter between an XPS rx and FC
Even more captures :)
Even though this FC currently supports 8 channels, I need a minimum of 6 to operate it.
I redefined the Evo servo assignments with 6 channels and looked at the captures when all controls are at minimum (endpoint -100%) and maximum (+100%).
Interim conclusion and workaround
My theory:
It appears that Jim has clamped the maximum PPM frame length to 30ms to accommodate a max of 12 channels. What ever time is left over after the +/-2ms max X 12 channel pulse widths is the guard pulse time. I am guessing he limited frame length to maximize the frame rate.
However with my Evo 12 upgraded to 3.41 firmware, the Tx(?) is now outputting 16 channels (EvoPro's max). Any undefined servo assignments default to a pulse length of 1.5ms (mid position) with one odd exception. You can see that in the scope capture from the prev post where only Ch1-6 are assigned and the rest blank.
The issue crops up when defined channel controls are moved such that their total pulse widths + the default 1.5ms x Undefined channel leaves not enough time for a valid guard pulse. In the other capture from my previous post, where I maxed the values for Ch1-6, the guard pulse is only 1.1ms long. This makes it look like a channel value pulse and impossible to reliably detect the start of a frame.
Jim, can you always ensure a valid guard pulse >> 2ms by either increasing max frame length or variable frame length?
Also, currently available failsafe settings are either last hold or fixed value. Please add another option to shut off PPM output entirely. The FC looks for a complete absence of pulses for x amount of time as a loss of signal/failsafe condition.
Also to recap weirdness from prev post, setting a min channel value to somewhere less than -100% corrupts the frame.
And if only a few channels are defined, the next undefined channel has a width of 1ms unlike the others at 1.5ms; deosnt really matter but it's unexpected.
Would be great if you could fix the Nano firmware but at the very least make sure your upcoming new Rx's works with a Evo 3.41 in PPM mode.
In the meantime, I've managed to come up with a workaround by defining assignments for the unused channels, assigning them to no widget and then setting their low/neutral/high positions in servo calibration to -100% (1ms). On my Evo12, it won't let me calibrate Ch 13-16 so they are stuck at 0%(1.5ms). This leaves me enough frame time to have 7 usable channels and still have a valid guard pulse length.
- Felix

I only have channels 1-6 defined in the Evo's servo assignment screen. The rest (7-16) are blank.
Rebind the Nano with the Evo and then enable PPM mode. Power cycle Evo and Nano.
I am still seeing 16 channels at the Nano's PPM output pin. Just like the captures in post #3 above. I cannot seem to stop the Tx from sending more the defined number of channels.
What is the 12 channel Fast Response Mode?
- Felix
The fast response mode is a mode where the frame is shorter and uses a max of 12 channels.
I just looked at the 3.41 firmware, and I see that the EVO always sends 16 channels in normal mode (no way to stop it). So, the killing the channels trick does not work anymore. I am not sure when that stopped - probably with 3.x So, you can try to putting it into the fast response mode.
The problem is this - the new EVO firmware does not use or support PPM at all. So, the frame rate of <25ms is going to be too fast for outputting 16 PPM channels. The fast frame rate mode might work, but I think the frame rate might be too fast for 12 channels too.
What I probably should do is cap the number of channels in PPM mode to something usable, like 10 channels or less.
Remember, a PPM frame is calculated as: max PWM time x number of channels + 5.7ms. So, with 12 channels that would be:
2.1 x 12 + 5.7 = 30.9ms
That is the amount of time a 12 channel frame can take. If you have a 25ms frame, you are going to be way out of sync! 16 channels is even worse:
2.1 x 16 + 5.7 = 39.3ms
This is why you can't even fit 9 channels in a standard 22ms frame:
2.1 x 9 + 5.7 = 24.6ms
Graupner uses a variable frame rate to get 9 channels - and oh, what a nightmare it is to support this!
The 5.7ms is what you are calling the 'guard time', and is per the PPM spec created back in the 70's. You can reduce this to about 2.7ms and get away with it:
2.1 x 9 + 2.7 = 21.6ms
Keep in mind that the original PPM spec is 750us to 2250us, not the 900us to 2100us that is common. Our system supports the original PPM spec.
Last edited by JimDrew; Aug 03, 2012 at 05:26 PM.
Yes, sending 16 channels all the time.
How do I put it into fast response mode?
Was PPM support superseded by MLINK protocol in the Evo?
So is the Nano or Tx module actually building the PPM frames instead of 'copying' them from the Evo? Which as you said is not viable anymore with the 3.xx firmware.
I currently have a wacky workaround that lets me use up to 7 channels with valid guard pulse length.
Also wondering about this Evo 3.xx specific issue with PPM output in the new Rx's too.
Edit: Found the setting for Fast Response, never noticed it before. But yes, if the frame rate in this mode is max of 25ms, that's still too short.
I would certainly appreciate that; so I don't need to have my workaround and also so the decode routine in the FC doesn't have deal with the extra useless/filler frames.
I noticed that the max frame length is ~30ms from the Nano, and the guard pulse is squeezed to accommodate whatever the channel pulse widths are.
With my workaround, the min guard pulse width is 2.8ms and I set the valid time in the FC to 2.7ms.
Regarding the min 750/900us width, if I set the endpoint on a channel to a few % less than -100%, I see frames like the second pic in post #2 above.
Do you happen to have a link to the PPM spec?
Thanks for looking into this!

I don't have a link to the spec, I had an original document from the late 60's/earlier 70's that was provided to me by one of Phil Kraft's employees from that era. I got that along with Phil's personal Gold Medal Series transmitter.
The spec just calls for 750us to 2250us with a neutral point of 1500us and a frame gap that exceeds one max channel time (2250us), using a frame rate of 22ms. Futaba used 22.050ms and JR used 22ms (or the variable frame, which ever is larger). This was never an issue because radios back then had a max of 6 channels anyways, so there were never enough channels to cause a problem.
If the channel PWM values exceed the frame time, you are going to have an issue. This is why your work around works - you set the unused channels to their lowest possible values so the PWM pulse requires the minimum amount of time (around 900us per channel).
I should probably calculate the frame rate and divide that by 2.250 to determine the maximum number of channels that can be allowed and use that for a cap with the PPM output for our receivers.
Super, especially if you can backport it for the Nano as well. Otherwise I'll live with my workaround.
Another thing for your ToDo list. Hopefully the guys in the XPS-3216 thread won't lynch me for diverting resources
I hope Phil Kraft's old Tx still gets to control a model and not just sitting in a place of honor.
Thanks again,
- Felix

Man, I go away for a few days and half the internet grows a big hairy vagina. The latest big hairy vaginal secretion from this big hairy vagina is all about how Renato Sobral is on par with Hitler and John Tesh as one of the most evil men in the world. While I'm not going to outright defend Babalu, I am going to say one thing: The majority of the retards out there dishing out on this subject were dishing BEFORE THEY EVEN SAW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.
Yes, Sobral held the choke for a whole three missisippis after the tap. But so did BJ Penn back in June against Jens Pulver. Where was the outrage then? Instead, everyone just said "Wow, I'm going to BJPENN.COM!"
There's no doubt that what Babalu did was wrong, and it's definitely a good idea for the NSAC to suspend and fine him to set precident. But where was the screaming lynch mob when BJ Penn did the exact same thing? Or does this only apply because Babalu was also squeezing blood out of David Heath's head like a backyard sprinkler toy?
In the end I think the majority of this hullabaloo is unnecessary. The story of Babalu strangling Heath 'half to death' made it's rounds through the internet before anyone even saw the damned fight. And once that became the primary focus for the entire internet, it has been blown way out of proportion. Well, you all can enjoy your 'Two Minutes Hate' on your own. Yeah, Babalu did something dumb and dangerous, and yeah it looks like he's definitely going to pay for it. But I've already got someone hanging on the cross, and his name is Jesus. He died for our sins, and that's all right. So let's just remember that and the teachings of Christ our Lord and Savior.

Pastor Cedric V. Alexander
By Cora Jackson-Fossett
Sentinel Religion Editor
Aiming to reach more souls for Christ, Price Chapel A.M.E. Church will add a second worship service on starting Sunday, June 10, in its edifice located at 4000 West Slauson Avenue in Los Angeles.
"After listening to the hearts and minds of various members and after much prayer and meditation, the Price Chapel Family voted unanimously to offer two services at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., on the second, third and fourth Sundays of the month," said Pastor Cedric V. Alexander, adding that worship on the first and fifth Sundays will continue at 10 a.m.
"Our spirit-filled, energetic, early morning worship service is guaranteed to provide the spiritual boost needed to prepare for challenges for the week ahead," said Sister Patricia Mayberry.
"Also, a second service gives us another opportunity to serve the community," noted Associate Minister Michael Jackson.
The additional worship is just one of the new ministries underway at Price Chapel. A free Community Breakfast is available every fourth Saturday of the month and later this year, the congregation will open a food bank, provide Red Cross preparedness training, and offer alcohol and chemical dependency services.
"We also have been spreading the Gospel through our Sunday radio ministry on KTYM 1460 AM at 9 a.m. It includes selections by our music ministry directed by Brother Carl Johnson and we've received prayer requests from Seattle, Washington. Plus, my 81 year old mother listens every Sunday in the San Francisco Bay Area via the internet at www.KTYM.com," said Pastor Alexander.
For more information on Price Chapel's ministries, call the church office at (323) 296-2406.

Almost every Christmas season, Dave utters the following statement or some variation thereof, "Sooo…we're pretty broke this year…what do you want for Christmas?" Besides the giant student loan debt left over from our Boston stint, we have these three kids who continue to leeching off us, not to mention the mortgage so that they have a roof over their ungrateful little heads. Oh, and let's not forget the car payment for that sexy grey mini-van I use to chauffeur them to their ballet and Mad Science classes.
I know, I have just lamented the problems of millions of people who are married with children. Yet, there's something about that question Dave poses that implies I shouldn't want a thing. I should just be happy with what I have…and I am. Really. Truly, I am. So I dutifully respond with a deflated, "Oh, nothing," and inwardly sigh at what I'd love to have. An all expenses paid trip to St. Barts, complete with a bungalow on the beach, a nanny for the kids, a private jet and a black American Express card paid for by a generous anonymous donor. No? Too much?
I guess that wish list is just a skosh unrealistic. Sadly, so is this list…
• A new pair of Uggs because it's damn cold up here in Maine. I know. Uggs are over, but I don't care. THEY MAKE MY FEET WARM.
• A series of facials. Why? Because I'm desperately trying to cling to the last vestiges of my youthful appearance and because they make me feel good. Also, I haven't had one in two years.
• Just one more pair of True Religion Becky bootcut jeans. Again, because I'm clinging to my youth and because I think they make my butt look good.
• A gift certificate for Williams-Sonoma. Why? Because when the catalog arrives at my house I get really excited. My level of excitement probably isn't dissimilar to that of a 14-year-old boy when he finds a stash of porno mags.
• Those two bunny head cabinet knobs I've been eyeballing for months for the kitchen but can't justify spending $50 when I have to buy the kids new coats, shoes or food.
Then there is the list of items that I think of throughout the year. You know those things that I need, but never seem to buy. Somehow, they don't say 'Christmas' to me…
• Some mittens or gloves. Again, because it's damn cold up here in Maine and my old leather Coach gloves are exactly practical for snowman building.
• Sweaters. Warm sweaters that don't look like they came from my grandma's closet. No offense grandma.
• A salad spinner. What? I like salad.
• A waffle iron. From Williams-Sonoma of course.
• Underwear. 'Nuff said.
• Boobs. Just thought I'd throw that one in. You never know when Santa might be listening.
• Socks.
• I'm reaching now, huh?
Sometimes I need to remember that despite the looming student loan debt, the mortgage and the expenses that come with a family of five, I am truly blessed. I live in a beautiful home with four people who love me beyond belief. Not only does my husband have a job, but he has one that, with careful budgeting, allows me to stay at home to raise our children. Yes, the budget is tight and yes, funds are often dangerously low at the end of the two-week pay cycle but being here with these children is the most precious gift of all.
I was reminded of these things this week when, at two separate kid-related functions, I happened upon requests to "adopt" families for the holidays. At Gwen's ballet class a candy cane dangled from a length of plastic pine garland. It held a slip of paper with the gift request of a 12-year-old boy. This year, he wants a book about bike maintenance and repair. That's it. Of all the things he could have asked for, he simply requested that book. I grabbed that candy cane and put his request in my pocket while feeling ashamed of myself for being so materialistic. My "wish" list of unattainable items suddenly seemed utterly shameful when this boy's unattainable item is a book.
Last night at Joe's first grade musical, there was a table full of paper mittens, each holding a handwritten gift request. I scanned the table, marveling at the sheer number of mittens there. My eyes landed on a mitten reading, "Girl. 4 months old. Plain white onsies, 6-12 months." My heart sank. I thought of my own baby who wears her sister's hand-me-downs and gorgeous ones at that. She has three pairs of shoes. She has onsies. She has warmth and nutritious food and somewhere in my new town, there is a baby who doesn't. I'm willing to go out on a limb and guess that there are several babies who don't enjoy the comfort of size 6-12 month onsies. Suddenly, my worries over Kate's $21 Moulin Roty stuffed goose and Gwen's Barbie's sickened me.

Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
San Diego attorney Mike Aguirre learned today (Feb. 5) that Southern California Edison (SCE) has still not made a filing that should have been critical in its California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) general rate case that ended late last year. A CPUC administrative law judge granted SCE a stunning 18.6% rate increase to begin taking effect this year. But the judge didn't pay significant attention to a critical factor: in 2005, SCE got the OK from the commission to put into effect its steam generator replacement program. SCE had a plan to replace four old generators at San Onofre with four new ones. But two years later, not one of the new steam generators was operative. SCE was supposed to file whether or not this program was cost-effective. Aguirre asked the company today if it had made this filing. It admitted it had made no such filing, and wouldn't do so until March of this year. But it had been granted the huge rate increase in 2012, even though the steam generators had already failed. How can SCE say this March that the steam generator replacement program was cost-effective? It was a disaster.
It appears that SCE stalled the filing until the rate case was approved, suggests Aguirre. Ratepayers have coughed up $700 million during this period in which SCE was not coming forth with this reasonableness review.
SoCal Edison, tear down that San Onofre nuclear power plant (that's been closed for the last year anyway) and refund ratepayers' money for electricity that was never delivered! We don't want a Fukushima in our neighborhood.
monaghan: Agreed. The risk is too great, the plant is ill-located (on an earthquake fault), and Edison has proved it doesn't have the expertise or integrity to run the plant. All Edison has is clout at the CPUC because its former president runs the anti-consumer regulatory body. Best, Don Bauder
Thank God we have a Democratic governor, legislature and Mayor to protect San Diego from the CPUC-SCE corruption and criminal incompetence that turned San Onofre into a California version of Fukushima.
Charging ratepayers for SCE-CPUC corruption, criminal incompetence and threats to public safety should be grounds for ending SCE's control over the CPUC.
Anon: I can't figure why Gov. Brown permits Peevey to remain as head of the CPUC. Best, Don Bauder

how important is matching???
we're having an awful time naming #4!!! our first three have italian sounding names, but there aren't any more italian names screaming out to us.
do we limit ourselves to one ethnicity or just name the baby as an individiual?
i don't want this DD to feel like an oddball, but i also don't want to settle on a name just bc it sounds good w/the other kids' names.
DCs are Anthony, Rocco and Isabella.
Right now, I like the names Charlotte and Josslyn/Jocelyn. We considered Luciana (ch sound) but the Italian pronounciation will be massacred here in Florida! DH's fave is Addison, but I think it's too trendy.
Our name must have a cute nn to go with it. (We call DD Izzy.) Last name ends in -ell, 2syllables, bgins with P. DH doesn't like anything too "original," ie something he hasn't heard of before.
Thanks so much! :)

Re: how important is matching???
I would either pick Charlotte - it definitely goes and I don't think the origin of her name is going to make her feel left out - Anthony is not an Italian name, it's a name used by many Italian-Americans and other people. Antonio or Antonino is Italian, while Anthony is the English form of it. So Charlotte would be fine. People will call her Carly if you call her Carly - she will know herself as Carly and introduce herself to people. This is not difficult. She may have her own ideas as she grows older, which is fine - many people grow out of their nicknames.
Luciana would also be great. It is my opinion that you can say this name two ways, and maybe if you didn't strictly insist on the Italian pronunciation, this would be a great match also. If you are pronouncing Lu-chee-ah-na, how are you saying Isabella? Are you flourishing both names with rich Italian pronunciations or just Luciana?
As far as matching - you are going in the right direction when you say you don't want your DD to feel like an oddball. Addison is so masculine/unisex and trendy next to Isabella and Rocco. I really think it is weird in this context. It might go with Anthony if he were the only other child at this point. Jocelyn might be pretty with Isabella - I'm not sure yet. They seem to sound similar but completely unrelated, so it's off. Isabella is a popular name, while Jocelyn is just not on most people's radar. While I love Jocelyn, I don't think it makes a great set.
I am wondering because you have suggested so many names which are not Italian, what causes you to impede the use of Luciana with a strict Italian pronunciation? You can say Lu-chee-ah-na and Lu-see-ah-na are both correct - the 2nd is not a massacre, that's just how we say it in the US. You can insist on the 1st but be relaxed if people speak in their mother tongue - it is not butchering! Unless you are having the same trouble with people pronouncing Isabella like "iz-a-bell-a" when you are saying it Ee-sah-b�-lah, then you probably should accept that Luciana is Italian in origin, but people in the US have adapted their sense of language to it - and that is correct also. Or not worry so much about Charlotte not fitting in while Anthony is an English name.
Luciana and Charlotte are your best bets right now. You had a poll, and I also like Natalia. I think the 4th best is Jocelyn. She might feel sort of odd - it's likely she won't notice her name is not like the others. It's as pretty as Isabella's name, so I don't feel like there will be a sort of "rivalry" when they are teenagers, which one has the pretty name and which one has the plain name, or the boyish name and the very girlish name - matching names up in style and effect may come into play when they are old enough to compare which name is better and why they fit their name or not, who got the raw deal or whatever. By keeping them sort of even, at least you won't have that. They have feminine appeal in the long form with spunky nicknames to suit a more streamlined personality if they prefer.
I don't think Jocelyn will make her feel like an oddball, but it just doesn't look right to me. Jacinta? Or Italian, Giacinta. It sounds almost like Jocelyn, but very harsh next to Isabella. Keep in mind, Isabella is used well in the US by people other than Italians, so it goes well with other names like Charlotte, which is more popular, and Luciana which is Italian but recognizable. It doesn't sound right with Giacinta - a very harsh sound with a very mellow sound, too disparate. Jocelyn would probably be pretty enough and in the scheme of things, would be a fine choice. It just looks a little more eclectic than your other choices, but it sounds ok.

Re: how important is matching???
Thank you so much for your well thought out post!! Its actually my husband that doesn't like the Anglicized pronounciation of such an '"Italian" name.
I love what you said about when the girls are older, wondering why who got what name. I never even thought of that . I considered her wondering why the other kids got "Italian" names, but not who's is prettier, more feminine etc. That's a great point.
My husband is a bit on the difficult side. He'll say he likes something one day, then it grows on me and he'll change his mind. Although in fairness, I do the same thing sometimes! LOL! (This is the case with Natalia. He liked it, then he didn't. They say women are fickle!) ;)
I'd say we're almost down to Charlotte and Josslyn at this point.
Thank you again for your insight and your time. :)

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Eaves is scheduled to have surgery on his broken jaw Monday and is expected to be out six to eight weeks.
Eaves was taken off the ice on a stretcher late in Saturday night's game against Nashville after he was struck near the right ear by Roman Josi's slap shot.
He was conscious and lifted himself onto the cart before leaving Joe Louis Arena.
Eaves was taken to Detroit Medical Center after the game and was still there Sunday afternoon. He has one point in 10 games this season for the Red Wings.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Feb. 24, 2014 – Intacct, a leader in cloud financial management and accounting software, today announced that Taylor Macdonald, the company's vice president of Channels, has been recognized on the CRN 2014 Channel Chiefs list and has been named as one of this year's 50 Most Influential. The prestigious Channel Chiefs list showcases those executives directly responsible for driving channel sales and growth within their organization, while evangelizing the importance of the channel throughout the entire IT industry. The 50 Most Influential Channel Chiefs list recognizes an elite subset of these channel executives based on their rank, channel savvy, ability to drive channel strategy within their own organization, and external impact on the channel at large.
The full CRN Channel Chiefs list was compiled by the CRN editorial team based on channel experience, program innovations, channel-driven revenue, and public support for the importance of IT channel sales. The 2014 Channel Chiefs list is featured in the February/March issue of CRN, and online at www.CRN.com.
Macdonald has been a leader in the channel for nearly 25 years. At Intacct, Macdonald has completely revamped the company's channel program and built it into the envy of the industry. Prior to his arrival, channel partners delivered less than 5% of the company's new business – today, between 40-50% of Intacct's new business comes through the channel.
Intacct has built a comprehensive network of partners, with proven capabilities, delivering high quality services, support, and software to help companies get the most value from their Intacct investment. In just the past year, Intacct has added over 100 new partners, including nearly a dozen Top 100 VARs and Top 100 CPA firms. Intacct's channel program now includes 28 of the Top 100 CPA firms, 23 of the Top 100 VARs in the industry, and 23 VAR Stars – making it the strongest channel program of any cloud financial vendor.
"We are pleased to highlight the many executives throughout the industry who work tirelessly to advance the standing of the channel community within their organizations," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "To be named to CRN's list of the 50 Most Influential Channel Chiefs is among the highest honors in the industry, as we carefully consider all of the key players and select those individuals who have demonstrated a consistent and unwavering commitment to this community. The honorees lead, inspire and engage peers and serve as valuable advocates to help ensure the health and longevity of the channel within the IT industry. We applaud their efforts and look forward to their continued success.
"It is a great honor to be named to the prestigious CRN Channel Chiefs list for the third straight year, and I'm even more excited to make their list of the 50 Most Influential," said Taylor Macdonald. "We've worked hard to build a partner program based on a foundation of mutually beneficial relationships that deliver increased growth for Intacct and new opportunities for success and recurring revenue for our partners.

Lora Leigh
Nauti Enchantress
Berkley Trade / June 3, 2014 / $16.00 print, $9.99 digital
When Dawg Mackay made his four half-sisters part of his family, he vowed that he would care for and protect them with everything he had. But what happens now that the girls are all grown up? The Mackay girls are on the loose, and Somerset County will never be the same…
Lyrica Mackay has wanted tall, handsome Marine Graham Brock for as long as she can remember. Unfortunately, Graham only sees her as his friend Dawg Mackay's "baby sister." Or so she believes. The truth is, the fiery party girl stirs something in Graham no female ever has. But Graham, like everyone in Somerset County, knows that trouble stalks the Mackays like bears track honey, and when a Mackay runs as hot as Lyrica does, someone's bound to get burned.
Then Graham discovers that Lyrica's wild side is just a cover for a frightened and vulnerable woman who needs something true and genuine, something only Graham can offer. But surrendering his heart to Lyrica exposes them both to her shocking past—and a sinister secret that, once exposed, could destroy their only chance at happiness and shake the Mackay family to its core.
Continuing her Nauti Boys series world with Nauti Girls, Lora Leigh has created new protagonists to lead stories that build on characters and past romances her fans hold dear. With Nauti Enchantress, the audience is introduced to Lyrica Mackay, one of the younger half-sisters of James "Dawg" Mackay of Nauti Nights. She is a feisty and no-nonsense woman with a sharp tongue, and I was an immediate fan because of those facets of her personality. No doormat women for me, thank you, as I like a heroine who can hold her own in any situation, especially verbally. Lyrica has that in spades plus she's quick to figure out when she's being treated like a fragile flower and to counteract that treatment. I really enjoyed reading a female protagonist who knew her own worth and wouldn't be coddled or over-protected by those around her.
Graham Brock is Leigh's usual brand of alpha male, but the reader can easily understand his rationale and even his occasional vulnerability with his choices. Graham's a strong, determined male protagonist but not a step away from being a caveman. He is strong, determined, and intelligent but without the chest beating "I am right so obey me" mentality. A few other characters have an element of archaic he-man mentality that, even with their respective motivations, became grating after a time. Though an important part of the story in terms of moving the plot forward and in Lyrica's further character development, that old-school mentality was sometimes frustrating to read. Other readers may not be as piqued by it as I was.
The suspense aspect of the novel is nicely done. It is woven in well and hovers over the characters but doesn't feel contrived nor drawn out. An element of danger permeates the story without overwhelming it, making it a good impetus for the love story by breaking down barriers between the Lyrica and Graham so that they can move forward towards eventual consummation. All of elements with the mystery, the back and forth in the love story, work best in my opinion because of how Lyrica is written overall. Had she been meek or a wallflower, the mystery elements would be tedious and the romance a drag, but due to her determined involvement in her own safety and welfare as well as her healthy self-respect, the story hits all the right notes.
Lyrica and Graham have chemistry from the beginning and the steady build-up is sustained by heated scenes between them, not just sexually but emotionally. Graham has baggage, some of it legitimate guilt and the rest more manufactured self-persecution that makes him resist giving in to his feelings for Lyrica. Her attitude is mostly in response to Graham's behavior, so it primarily becomes a combination of her breaking down his perceived nobility in keeping himself from her and him forgiving himself, with secondary characters and the main mystery rounding out the complexities of their burgeoning relationship. I totally bought that these two characters were mad about each other and that it was readily apparent to everyone around them. It was a pleasure to read their journey of falling in love and being together.
I think fans of Lora Leigh, and particularly this series, will adore this book as much as I did. Lyrica and Graham's story is one of her strongest in the Nauti series and very satisfying. I am also very much looking forward to the next book in this series after the teaser at the end of this book. The Nauti Girls do not disappoint in bringing the drama that the Nauti Boys did. Nauti Enchantress is a fun, suspenseful, and sexy read.

Chartered cuts 600 jobs, posts loss
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Amid a loss, a reduction in capital spending and a poor outlook, Singapore's Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Pte. Ltd. is reducing its worldwide workforce by approximately 600 people, or about 8 percent of its total employment.
The move follows other recent job cuts by the foundry provider. ''In managing our cash and liquidity position, we are taking a painful but prudent business decision to reduce our worldwide workforce by approximately 600 people in the coming days, bringing the total workforce reduction since third quarter of 2008 to about 1,300 positions or approximately 18 percent of the total workforce,'' Chia Song Hwee, president and CEO of Chartered, in a statement.
''In addition, we expect to reduce our capital expenditure by 35 percent compared to the previous year to $375 million in 2009, our lowest level since 2003,'' he added.
Revenues were $351.7 million in fourth quarter 2008, down 0.3 percent from $352.6 million in fourth quarter 2007. Sequentially, revenues were down 24.1 percent compared to $463.7 million in third quarter 2008.
Net loss was $114.0 million, compared to a net income of $5.9 million in the year-ago quarter, and a net loss of $24.4 million in the previous quarter.
Capacity utilization in fourth quarter 2008 was 59 percent compared to 81 percent in the year-ago quarter, and 85 percent in third quarter 2008.
Shipments in fourth quarter 2008 were 368.8 thousand wafers, a decrease of 3.7 percent compared to 383.2 thousand wafers in fourth quarter 2007. Shipments in fourth quarter 2008 decreased by 28.3 percent compared to 514.3 thousand wafers shipped in third quarter 2008.
Revenues were $1.7 billion in 2008, up 22.5 percent from $1.3 billion in 2007. Net loss was $92.6 million, compared to a net income of $101.7 million in 2007.
Going forward, the prospects look bleak. For Q1, fab utilization will be down to 37 percent, plus or minus 3 percent. It is projected to show a loss of $147 million, plus or minus $5 million, in Q1.
''Based on our current outlook, we are guiding for Chartered revenues to be down approximately 32 percent sequentially and revenues including Chartered's share of SMP to be down approximately 31 percent sequentially in the first quarter," said George Thomas, senior vice president and CFO of Chartered.
Rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC) reported poor results in the quarter, but the outlook is worse.

How about sides for the other offerings? What do you get as a side if you order say the Grilled Vegetable Cuban sandwich? Or what if you order a salad - do you not get a side then? Sorry for all the questions - it just seems very confusing. Thanks!

The anticipation to hear the Sweet blast their high-energy, crowd favorite hit "Ballroom Blitz" at Jack's Fifth Show is killing us, so until September 18th finally rolls around, we really need something to hold us over.
So what's the next best thing to hearing "Blitz" live? Watching it reimagined in epic battles scenes from our favorite action movies, of course. If you though Neo was one bad-ass mofo before, just wait to see his kung-fu prowess to the tune of the [lastfm]Sweet[/lastfm].
The original scenes in The Matrix trilogy are a little too serious and melodramatic, but with the help of the classic rock tune "Ballroom Blitz" the cutting edge battle scenes are infused with the high energy vigor of the [lastfm]Sweet[/lastfm].
The graphic bloodbath combats in Kill Bill have never seemed so action packed until put to the fervor of "Blitz." Maybe if we listen to this song over and over, we'll adopt some of these kung-fu moves. We can only hope.
Anime is known for its seizure-inducing battle scenes, but the sensory overload in the anime cartoon Furi Curi — Fooly Cooly for us in the States — is a little more bearable when we can rock out to the [lastfm]Sweet[/lastfm]. Besides, we have no idea what's even going on in this cartoon, so we might as well rock some air guitar and high kicks in our living room.

Sergeant Guilty in Fort Bragg Shooting
FORT BRAGG, North Carolina: After just two hours of deliberations, a military jury unanimously convicted Army sergeant William Kreutzer of premeditated murder in a sniper attack last October that killed one person and wounded 18 others. Kreutzer, who was also found guilty on 18 counts of attempted murder, could now face the death penalty. During the trial, Fort Bragg's chief psychiatrist testified that Kreutzer suffered from a personality disorder that began when he was an adolescent and now makes him chronically depressed and paranoid. "This was a man who for quite a while was coming unglued," reports TIME's Lisa Towle. "As his actions and pleas for help went ignored, he set himself on a path of destruction. And Kreutzer's family accused the military of ignoring all the obvious signs of mental distress." But the prosecution argued that Kreutzer's threats toward fellow soldiers demonstrated that his actions were carefully planned and vengeful. Captain Paul Barden told jurors in closing arguments that Kreutzer had even selected special bullets knowing they would cause more pain. There is also speculation, Towle says, that Kreutzer might have wanted to get back at soldiers who had picked on him in his three years of service, calling him names, dumping sand in his boots and tripping him. "He didn't associate with many people and spent all his time cleaning his guns," she says. "Kreutzer had a lifelong passion for the military." Kreutzer now faces two more rounds of voting by the military jury. Both must be unanimous for a death sentence, or Kreutzer will automatically be sentenced to life imprisonment. Given the trial's brevity a sentence may come within the next three days. Robertson Barrett

All quotes tagged Homer
(95 quotes found)
"We have to steal bases to be successful. We're not a big three-run homer team, and speed shows up to the ballpark everyday."
"Jason or Barry Bonds, you don't want them to hit a homer. As a team, you want him to be on base, and sometimes, they'll surprise you. Barry Bonds, he doesn't want to bunt, but you never know."
"We were kind of teetering back and forth on the verge of coming back (when Parsley hit his homer). That was a shot - one of the hardest shots I've seen. It seemed to put the momentum in our favor."
"This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley: / Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer: / And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD."
"We ran into a well-pitched game. After Ramon's homer, we really didn't create anything. That's the way it's been over the last couple of months."
"I got a fastball across the middle on the homer. I'll take some hacks. After the first inning, I'm not really a lead-off man. I've got to try to drive guys in just like anyone else."
"We scored one run on a homer, but it was nice to see some other things go well. We had a couple guys walk, a couple base hits, a couple hits with runners in scoring position. Those are the little things you have to do to win. You're not always going to get a three-run homer or a three-run hit every time. You have to do the small things, and that's what we did today."
"We'll take it. It would be nice to have a lot of doubles and triples and maybe a homer, but we'll take the hits any way we can get them."

CHELMSFORD (CBS) – A Chelmsford mother who helped catch a serial killer hovering over her 15-year-old daughter is now sharing her story in a book.
Jeanie McDonough was sleeping in her home, when she and her husband Kevin heard whimpering from her daughter Shea's room. They walked in together, and found Adam Leroy Lane crouched over Shea with a knife.
"He was standing over our daughter, he was dressed in black, he had a black mask on," said Jeanie.
WBZ-TV's Karen Anderson reports.
Kevin McDonough immediately went after Lane and wrestled him to ground. Jeannie grabbed the knife. They held Lane until the police arrived.
"We had angels watching over us that night," Jeannie said.
The McDonough's say they only later learned about Lane's MO. Authorities say Lane was a truck driver who would stop at rest areas, and then walk into neighborhoods dressed in black, wearing a mask, and carrying an arsenal of knives, and go house to house looking for unlocked doors. Once inside, Jeannie McDonough says, "Lane would hunt humans."
According to investigators, Lane had killed at least two women and attacked another. Two weeks before the Chelmsford home invasion, on July 13, 2007, police say Lane murdered Darlene Ewalt outside her Pennsylvania home. Authorities say five days later Lane tried to kill another Pennsylvania resident, Patricia Brooks, as she slept. She survived her injuries. On July 29, investigators say Lane killed Monica Massaro in New Jersey.
Jeanie McDonough says, "These kind of random crimes happen to everyone. No one is immune. I never in a million years imagined someone would walk in off the street and terrorize us like that."
"Caught in the Act" will be on store shelves March 1st.
Hear more about the McDonoughs' terrifying encounter Saturday night on 48 Hours. It starts at 10 p.m. on WBZ-TV.

SEQUIM — Two women, two men and a lot of good music: Such are the ingredients for a flight of fancy, an escape from the fall drear — in other words, "A Cabaret."
Olivia Shea, a thespian known for serious plays — "Red," "God of Carnage" — saw the name of her next show in lights at Olympic Theatre Arts.
The word "cabaret" is on the wall of OTA's Gathering Hall, almost taunting her.
But while the cursive "Cabaret" adorned the room, "nobody had ever put on a cabaret there," said Shea.
Until now.
The director, producer, actor and singer gathered up songs by George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Stephen Sondheim, and invited three of her favorite people to join her in putting on a show.
One is Sarah Shea, the jazz songbird who happens to be the director's daughter. Another is Mark Lorentzen, a tenor known for his performance in Port Angeles Light Opera's "South Pacific" last year and for his set with the Lorentzens, his family's singing group, at the Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts this spring.
The trio, along with host Mike Reichner, will stage "A Cabaret" for just two weekends: tonight through Sunday and finally next Friday, Oct. 11, through Sunday, Oct. 13.
Ticketing is simple, too: $15 at the door, cash only. Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave. Doors will open 30 minutes beforehand so patrons can come early for a snack and a beverage from the no-host wine bar.
The production has solo performances, duets and ensemble singing, a little dancing and plenty of repartee.
Among Sarah Shea's favorites is "You're the Top," a Cole Porter number. Another addition to the singer's considerable repertoire is Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns," a song she learned for this show.
With its complexity of emotion, this is not an easy one. But Sarah found herself grateful, ultimately, for the challenge.
Many numbers are more lighthearted, though: "Embraceable You," "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," "Begin the Beguine," "Younger Than Springtime."
"Little Girls" and "I Don't Need Anything but You" from the musical "Annie," "Two Lost Souls" from "Damn Yankees," and "I'm Still Here" from "Follies" are also on the itinerary, as are several songs from "Les Miserables."
Sarah remembers seeing that show with her parents at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre when she was a girl. She recalls how it moved her.
One of the "Les Miz" songs is among Lorentzen's all-time favorites: "Bring Him Home," Jean Valjean's prayer for the revolutionary Marius.
"A Cabaret," though it has no narrative line, is in fact an assemblage of stories, said Sarah. The three singers change costumes, weave their voices together and enjoy one another; this isn't one of those shows where one person comes out and sings one song, to be followed by another person emerging to sing another song.
"Mark just has a beautiful voice," Sarah added, "and a great sense of comic timing."
As for her mother Olivia, "I love working with her," said Sarah, who starred, with Lorentzen, in "South Pacific" under Olivia's direction in July 2012.
"It is so nice," added Lorentzen, "to perform with people who have an equal love for the art. It brings it to another level."
The dress for "A Cabaret" is formal or casual, Olivia said.
"After all of this gloom and rain we've been having, we just want to get together and have a good time."

CAIRO — A spokesman of Egypt's powerful Islamist movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, says the group is ready to hold talks with the United States.1 comment on this story
Mohammed Ghozlan told The Associated Press on Friday that "we welcome dialogue with America to remove any misunderstandings and bridge gaps."
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday that the Obama administration is reaching out to the Muslim Brotherhood in a "limited" effort to build ties and promote democratic principles.
After the fall of Hosni Mubarak, the Brotherhood is seen as Egypt's most organized political force and is expected to make a strong showing in upcoming parliamentary elections.
