Just Country: Park heading Strait up with tribute song
Updated 11:03 am, Thursday, August 15, 2013
After scoring his first No. 1 single on Texas radio in December and his second earlier this year, Kyle Park may be on the way to his third in a row with "Fit for the King," a tribute to George Strait.
The clever song weaves lyrics from 31 of The King of Country's hits into a surprisingly seamless story about heartache.
"Writing this song was more about putting everything together, kind of like a puzzle," Park, who will perform Friday night at Cowboys Dancehall, said in a statement. "I had a lot of George Strait CDs and tapes at the time (and I still do).
"I laid them all out across the floor and started with the song 'Go On,' placing the right titles in the right place. The song basically rolled out from there."
Here's a sample:

"But I cross my heart that I'll love you forever
"Are the famous last words of a fool"
Park will perform Friday night at Cowboys Dancehall.
Released a little more than three weeks ago, "Fit for the King" is galloping up the charts. It already is at No. 24 on the Texas Music chart and at No. 35 on the Texas Regional Radio Report.
"Fit for the King" follows Park's No. 1's "The Night Is Young" and "True Love." All three songs are from his fourth full-length album, "Beggin' for More," released in March.
Park's third album, "Make Me or Break Me," broke through to Texas Music radio with the title track, which went to No. 3 on the Texas Music chart.
The 27-year-old Leander native began earning money with music at 15, hit the scene full steam in 2005 with his mix of contemporary Nashville and rocking Texas Music and has been touring constantly since.
"I grew up listening to George Strait, Clint Black and Alan Jackson," Park said in an interview. "While my music is not traditional, it's still country — just something a little more uptempo."
Check out the video for "Fit for the King," which combines Park's live performance with footage of Strait, at www.kylepark.com.
Flores' first Top 5
Mario Flores of Helotes is on a roll on Texas radio, too. He scored his first Top 5 single with "I Didn't Pick This Life," at No. 4 for the second week on the Texas Regional Radio Report.
Mario Flores & The Soda Creek Band will perform Friday at the National Shooting Complex for Boots 'n' Shoot, a fundraiser for San Antonio Livestock Exposition scholarships.
He also will be at Cooter Brown's Saloon on Saturday and again for Working Women's Wednesdays.

The Feature you are trying to use is on a network resource which is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package PROPLUS.MSI.
I never use FrontPage and currently the only time I can actually open Excel is when I keep the Microsoft message box open and click on the same Shortcut. Also Office XP was installed from the original CDs and not over a network.
Found an article on Microsoft re Locating missing .msi files [office.microsoft.com]. Quite helpful, but is it possible to fix without the CDs and less hassle?
However, before you uninstall FP try out the Detect and Repair... from any Office program's Help menu. That can often fix your problem.

Why the Struggle Matters
Posted: July 18, 2013
Follow @bjyork
While it may seem simplistic, the continual battle of overcoming struggles (by any definition) during the course of a WNBA season is not only therapeutic, but rooted in truth.
Indeed, the same is true in all aspects of life.
Encountering difficult times and facing them head-on is one of the most vital shared character traits that separate a championship team from just a collection of players.
For the Mercury this season, that scenario has already played itself out multiple times.
After so much hype heading into their 2013 campaign, the team started uncharacteristically slow with an 0-3 record. They then responded beautifully by winning eight of their next nine games. Currently while playing with a short-handed squad, theyve dropped three in a row to fall into third place in the Western Conference.
Theres no sugarcoating it; the Mercury hasnt quite played up to par of late. Teams have taken advantage of Phoenixs lack of size in the paint with Brittney Griner and Lynetta Kizer out, and turnovers have routinely plagued the Mercury each contest.
It sounds tired, but its absolutely true its tough for both the fans and the team. Nobody likes losing. Perhaps more frustrating for the team, the product on the court isnt indicative of how they look in practice.
Most fans, though, arent privy to the hours upon hours of work each player and coach puts in every day, week and month. Its not as if they practice for an hour or two each day, then play a couple games per week its far more complicated.
The teams collective work ethic is real. Genuine. Theyre not consciously going out of their way to boast about how hard theyre working every day.
So I will.
Being fortunate enough to interact with the team behind the scenes has given me access to see these organic moments. They happen all the time doesnt matter if the team is on a winning or losing streak.
Ive seen Corey Gaines and his staff in their coaching office going over film in the early hours of the morning after a win (yes, a win) dozens of times over the years (and several times this season). Ive randomly walked by the practice court early in the morning only to find multiple members of the team already there on an off day (they didnt leave the arena until late in the evening).
I could go on and on.
Maybe these moments will pay off in the end. Maybe they wont.
But the important part is they are happening.
Certainly, the Mercury understands the areas they need to improve in. But they also realize that fully implementing these changes wont happen overnight. In professional sports, we often live for the immediacy of results but grapple for the patience of answers. Rather than paying more attention to the small details, it has become increasingly easier to zoom around the issue which doesnt effectively deal with the perceived problem.
Thats not what the Mercurys philosophy is.
For example, before the Mercury departed to Los Angeles for their game Thursday on ESPN2 against the Sparks, Corey Gaines and his staff spent nearly two hours going over defensive assignments with the team. Each player was fully engaged, helping each other, providing positive feedback and encouraging various solutions.
Just as the team did before their last road trip, and the one prior, and the one before that you get the idea.
Diana Taurasi has mentioned several times after difficult losses this season that their only option is to get back in the gym and work.
Her words are unassuming, but profound and she lives them.
No season will be devoid of struggle or conflict. The key isnt avoiding those times, but accepting them. Once thats done, a solution inevitably presents itself.
Facing and working through conflicts and struggles make the reward at the end of the season (no matter what happens) so much sweeter. Obviously, the goal is always to win a WNBA Championship, but if each player can look at themselves in the mirror and know they did everything possible to prepare themselves for competition, thats all that truly matters regardless of the outcome.
Still, theres one fundamental thing Ive learned about the Mercury
Never count them out.

Upon inspection, I see usage wear. I contact him, he contacts rep at Davidsons and rep informs him he sees this sometimes from the factory?? My FFL says no biggie, if I want to return it, he'll give me 100% refund. So, is this normal? What would you do?

Prosecutor General Talaat Abdallah issued a decree to ban a number of figures of the former Hosni Mubarak regime facing charges of corruption from leaving the country.
The list of figures includes former Parliamentary and Legal Affairs Minister Moufeed Shehab, journalist Abdallah Kamal and former Health Minister Hatem al-Gabaly.
A statement issued by the Prosecutor General's office said on Saturday that the decision to ban the figures from travel was due to charges in pending cases related to the exploitation of influence and profiteering. Most of the figures are symbols of the former regime.

On this day in 1836, Mexican General Santa Anna signed the Treaties of Velasco, acknowledging the conclusion of the Texas Revolution. Although the young republic would be annexed by the United States less than a decade later, Texas remains fiercely independent to this day.
Perhaps nowhere is the state's sense of autonomy more noticeable than in its economy. While the rest of the country has been hampered with slow economic growth and stubbornly high unemployment, the Great Recession barely registered on Texas' radar. The state's economy contracted just 0.5 percent in 2009 and grew by 4.1 percent in 2010. And when it comes to job creation, Texas has outperformed the nation by more than 2-to-1 since 1990.
The rest of America waits anxiously to see what Janet Yellen does with the reins of the Federal Reserve, but it is hard to fault many Texans for their indifference to her ascension. In normal times, that is an altogether sensible attitude, but normal does not describe our current monetary status. That is why the George W. Bush Institute will host a conference on Monday featuring Ben Bernanke to discuss the Federal Reserve's role in the economy.
The primary task of the Federal Reserve chair is to guard against inflation, or as one central banker famously quipped, to take away the punch bowl just as the party starts getting fun. However, Congress also expects the Fed to help mitigate economic downturn: In 2008, it commenced an unprecedented monetary expansion in an attempt to stanch the financial market meltdown and stave off a full-blown depression. It's an effort that continues to this day, with only modest tapering.
Today, Texas businesses benefit from record-low interest rates resulting from this accommodative monetary policy, particularly in capital-intensive industries like oil and IT. And because Texas experienced a relatively tame property bubble (thanks to a surfeit of common sense when it comes to land and building regulations), financial markets reopened for business sooner in Texas than in the rest of the nation.
But the country cannot continue to have interest rates near zero much longer: Besides the deleterious effect low interest rates have on how much people save in the long run, it also makes it difficult for the Fed to act to stimulate the economy should it again be needed. The various rounds of quantitative easing proved that the Fed needn't be constrained from stimulus when the interest rate is near zero, but borrowing rates this low distort the economy in myriad ways not altogether comprehensible — and may become manifest in yet another asset bubble.
Not surprisingly, among the most pressing issues at the Fed's bimonthly Open Market Committee meetings is what on earth it'll do the next time there's a recession.
Despite the occasional irrational exuberance among economists who want to believe the contrary, the business cycle will be with us for the indefinite future — even in Texas. It behooves our politicians to do what they can to lessen the probability of future recessions, while boosting economic growth during the good times so we have more of a cushion when things inevitably turn downward.
This means America needs to get its fiscal house in order and come to grips with the looming deficits driven by unfunded entitlement obligations. And with regard to monetary policy, the Fed needs to assertively taper its latest round of monetary expansion, returning us to a more normal world where borrowers pay positive interest rates on loans and bank deposits earn a rate of return that makes it worth saving. Practicing good monetary policy is not always politically popular or easy, but at this critical economic juncture, it is necessary.
Otherwise, when — not if — the next recession comes, the government and the Federal Reserve may find themselves with few tools to counteract it other than trying to talk up the economy. In Texas parlance, that's what we refer to as all hat and no cattle.
Ike Brannon is a fellow at the Bush Institute and president of Capital Policy Analytics, a consulting firm in Washington, D.C. Machir Stull manages the economic growth initiative at the Bush Institute. They may be contacted at email@example.com.

I happened to sit next to an AT&T exec on the plane last night. He commented that "...two years ago I would tell customers that while VoIP is coming, it is still a long way off..." And what do you tell them now, I asked? "VoIP came."
It was interesting to speak with him about their VoIP experiments though. AT&T is still spending a lot of time worrying about priority packet routing and trying to focus on the highest quality possible on the voice connection. I observed that 8.5 million people find Skype acceptable (he had never heard of Skype) and that the wireless providers have trained us all to expect a little fuzziness on our voice connections... so won't businesses choose "good enough?"
He admitted that this scenario worried him...

Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Tuesday that he currently has no intention of scaling back the West Bank operation to find the three missing Israeli teens, and said that finding the boys was still the IDF's first priority. During a tour at the Lebanon border Ya'alon
said "it is just a matter of time until we find the boys and their abductors, but it takes patience".
Ya'alon also addressed the tension at the Israeli-Syrian border and laid the responsibility with the Syrian army. "Every violation of our sovereignty in the Golan Heights will be answered with a harsh response against Assad forces, just as we did in the past and will continue to do in the future".

The Rocky Mountain Cup will be decided in the final meeting between Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids in the regular season finale for both teams.

This is the fourth and final meeting between the two clubs the second in Salt Lake the final of two in the last 10 days. The teams are competing for the Rocky Mountain Cup and the ownership in the first season comes down to tonight's match with the Rapids holding the edge.
If the teams finish level on points at the end of the season series - which would happen with an RSL victory - the next tiebreaker is goal difference in the series. If Real wins by two goals on Wednesday that would also be level meaning the next tiebreaker is away goals where Real currently hold the edge by virtue of the solitary goal they scored in the last meeting.
Fans of the Rapids and Real joined together to work with the clubs to organize and promote the Rocky Mountain Cup. Known as the Committee of 10 the supporters group is spearheading an effort to celebrate the competitive soccer spirit of the Rocky Mountain region. The Rocky Mountain Cup is being developed by like-minded supporters and fan organizations such as the RSL Loyalists and RapidsFan.com.
Coaches record: Fernando Clavijo vs. RSL: P3 W2 L1 D0 ... John Ellinger v COL: P3 W1 L2 D0
-Colorado has won two of the three meetings thus far this season but home form has won out each team winning on their own ground. Real won 1-0 in Utah on April 16 then the Rapids won 2-0 on Sept. 21 in Denver and 2-1 in Denver on Oct. 1.
-Real Salt Lake made the first-ever home game in club history something to remember as a late goal gave them a 1-0 victory - the expansion club's first in history.
-A crowd larger than the listed MLS capacity filed in to see the first home match for expansion Real and they weren't disappointed. Nine minutes from the end Clint Mathis whipped in a free kick from the right flank that bounded through the packed penalty area where defender Brian Dunseth came crashing in at the back post to send a diving header past Rapids goalkeeper Joe Cannon and give the Utah club its first win.
-The Rapids got a pair of second-half goals to defeat Real 2-0 in Denver on Sept. 21 leaving the Rocky Mountain Cup level on the season.
-Jean-Philippe Peguero opened the scoring just after the start of the second half. His speculative shot hit a defender and bounced straight up in the air - but Rapids defender Eric Denton was first to it in the RSL area. He poked it back to Peguero and he made no mistake driving it past D.J. Countess (49).
-The Rapids put the game away in the 87th minute under bizarre circumstances. The ball was played somewhat towards RSL midfielder Andy Williams at midfield but he made no move toward it and instead appeared to have suffered a leg cramp. Terry Cooke quickly intercepted and streaked down the wing before sending in a cross that found a wide-open Dedi Ben-Dayan who settled the ball before curling it into the far corner of the net for his first career MLS goal.
-On Oct. 1 in Denver Real took an early lead but the Rapids came from behind getting a late goal in a 2-1 victory.
-Clint Mathis gave Real Salt Lake a dream start in their bid for a first-ever road win. Robert Scarlett sent a high cross from the left touchline and Mathis hit a remarkable first-time full volley looping the ball over Rapids 'keeper Byron Foss.
-But Colorado pulled level in the 39th minute as Dedi Ben-Dayan scored his third goal in as many games. Jean-Philippe Peguero wriggled out of a tight spot in the corner and drove in a low cross that Ben-Dayan sidefooted home for the equalizer.
-Then four minutes from the end Jeff Cunningham provided the winner thanks to a neat combination from the pair that connected for the Rapids' first. They played a nice one-two on the left side of the area the Israeli international this time sending in a low cross and Cunningham sliding in ahead of an RSL defender to poke the ball home.
-Here's Clavijo's team (4-3-1-2): Byron Foss - Dan Gargan (Hunter Freeman 89) Pablo Mastroeni Nat Borchers Eric Denton (Ritchie Kotschau 89) - Terry Cooke (Jeff Cunningham 64) Kyle Beckerman Dedi Ben-Dayan - Alain Nkong - Jovan Kirovski Jean-Philippe Peguero
-Here's Ellinger's team (3-4-1-2): Jay Nolly - Brian Dunseth (Nelson Akwari 38) Eddie Pope Gustavo Cabrera - Chris Brown Kenny Cutler Brian Kamler (Leslie Fitzpatrick 74) Robert Scarlett - Clint Mathis - Jordan Cila Melvin Tarley (Jamie Watson 71).
-Real Salt Lake ended their losing streak at 10 games but still couldn't break through in the win column becoming just the second team in MLS history to fail to win on their travels over an entire season settling for a 2-2 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night at Spartan Stadium. RSL has 20 points from their 31 matches on the season fifth place in the Western Conference just two points ahead of Chivas USA.
-The events of the day had given the Earthquakes the Supporters' Shield before a single ball was kicked. But the home side were still aiming to be the first team in MLS history to go through the entire home portion of their season unbeaten while Real were trying to keep from joining the 2003 Los Angeles Galaxy as being the only team to go winless on the season away from home.
-The Quakes got the start they needed scoring twice within seven minutes late in the first half to take a seemingly unassailable lead. Dwayne De Rosario hit first in the 38th minute after a bit of opportunism his attempted pass in the area coming right back to him where he knocked it home.
-Then rookie Julian Nash scored his first MLS goal finishing off a fast flowing move out of midfield turning inside a defender at the top of the area and lashing a low shot inside Jay Nolly's right-hand post (44).
-But Real pulled a goal back through some good fortune a cross from Kevin Novak from the left corner sailing over everyone in the goalmouth and somehow slipping inside the far post as goalkeeper Pat Onstad frantically scrambled back for it (64). RSL then hit for the equalizer nine minutes later on a terrific goal Jaime Watson driving in a cross from the left side where Andy Williams steamed in at the back post and hammered home an acrobatic first-time volley.
-But it wasn't enough to stop history as the Quakes ended the year unbeaten in their 16 league games in San Jose while Real claimed just a second draw in 16 games on the road - the first coming in their first-ever match.
-Real head coach John Ellinger made three changes to the team that lost 3-1 to D.C. United at midweek at home. Jay Nolly came back in for D.J. Countess in goal while Seth Trembly and Kevin Novak came in at the wide midfield roles replacing Robert Scarlett (international duty) and Adolfo Gregorio.
-Here's Ellinger's team (3-4-2-1): Jay Nolly - Chris Brown Nelson Akwari Brian Dunseth - Seth Trembly Kenny Cutler Brian Kamler (Leslie Fitzpatrick 64) Kevin Novak (Nikolas Besagno 89) - Clint Mathis (Jamie Watson 64) Andy Williams - Melvin Tarley
-"The effort was actually good both halves. I just think we were unlucky in the first half. Second half the ball seemed to bounce our way for a change Ellinger said. "It was good to see. Obviously we would have liked to have the win but when you play the best team in the league on their home field and they're unbeaten here we'll take a point."
-In Real's opening game they played to a scoreless draw with the MetroStars at Giants Stadium on a miserable night. It took them 29 more games - 14 on the road - to come away with a result on the road.
-"[The tie] gives us a great feeling said Ellinger. "I'm proud of the effort and the fact that we came back from two [goals down]. The target coming in was to get our first road win but we come out with our first point in a while so we'll take it that way."
-"Everybody is smiling tonight because we came back said midfielder Brian Kamler. "It's been a long time since we've been able to do that."
-Kamler said a larger commitment to getting players into the attack was the difference in the team's second half performance. "I think in the second half we were just a lot more dangerous said Kamler. "Instead of having one guy in the box we had two or three guys in there."
-As satisfying as the result was for RSL it was doubly so for Novak. Not only did the midfielder enjoy an impressive first start but his goal capped a remarkable comeback journey of his own. The Loyola Marymount product tore his lateral collateral ligament in his knee late in his senior season and faced a year of rehab and playing without a club.
-On the recommendation of his college coach Paul Krumpe Novak was invited to training camp as an undrafted rookie and did enough to impress Ellinger that he was given a developmental contract. Novak bided his time throughout the season and has now made the most of his two late season appearances.
-"Throughout my career I've always had to be patient said Novak. "I knew what it was going to be like coming in because I was almost like a walk-on type of player. I just decided I was going to work hard and hopefully my chance would come. It's towards the end of the season but I'm happy all the same."
-The Colorado Rapids extended their unbeaten streak to five games still with a chance of moving up in the Western Conference after a scoreless draw Saturday night with FC Dallas at Pizza Hut Park. The Rapids have 42 points from their 31 matches three behind third-place Los Angeles Galaxy with one game to be played by both teams.
-FC Dallas and the Colorado Rapids played to a dour scoreless draw where substitute goalkeepers made the few saves required in order to keep clean sheets.
New Argentine signing Dario Sala made his MLS debut and became the first international goalkeeper in FC Dallas history while Byron Foss once again deputized for the injured Joe Cannon for the Rapids though the pair were required just seven saves on the night (five for Foss).
-The point was enough to pull FC Dallas two points clear of the Los Angeles Galaxy in second place in the Western Conference though a victory would have ensured home-field advantage in the conference semifinals. With the teams having split their season series though FC Dallas currently hold the advantage in the tie-breaker if they finish level in the table seven goals better on the season differential.
-The Rapids can still claim third place in the West with a victory Wednesday against Real Salt Lake and a Galaxy loss at home Saturday against San Jose. The two teams would then be even in points and after they split their season series it would first come down to goal difference where Colorado currently holds a slim one-goal edge.
-If the teams end up with the same goal differential it would then go to total goals scored on the season where the Galaxy currently hold a four-goal advantage.
-Rapids head coach Fernando Clavijo made four changes to the team that settled for a 1-1 draw with Chivas USA in Denver at midweek. Hunter Freeman Ritchie Kotschau and Ricky Lewis all came back into a rebuilt back four with Mike Petke suspended and Dan Gargan and Dedi Ben-Dayan returning to the substitutes' bench in the shakeup.
-Jeff Cunningham also returned to the starting lineup coming in for Jean-Philippe Peguero in attack.
-Here's Clavijo's team (4-1-3-2): Byron Foss - Hunter Freeman Nat Borchers Ritchie Kotschau Ricky Lewis (Dedi Ben-Dayan 58) - Kyle Beckerman - Terry Cooke Alain Nkong (Jean-Philippe Peguero 46) Eric Denton - Jeff Cunningham Jovan Kirovski.
-"We played well and I'm a little bit unhappy because we could have come out of here with three points. We created chances and they were only dangerous when we gave the ball away Clavijo said. "We just need to finish our chances because we can't miss those types of chances in the playoffs."
-At the half Clavijo made a tactical shift bringing on Jean-Philippe Peguero for Alain Nkong and putting Jovan Kirovski into a playmaking role. He then went back to three in the back when Dedi Ben-Dayan came on just before the hour.
-"They played with one forward. We tried to open it up in the second half and we did in the second part of the game. We had a couple of good chances a couple of great saves by the goalkeeper but fine tuning is what we need to do for the next couple of games said Clavijo.
-Byron Foss starting a fifth match in place of Joe Cannon made five saves on the night. "It was a good performance by the team as a whole defensively said Foss. "We kept it tight and it looked like FC Dallas was playing for a point by keeping one player up top. We dealt with it well."
-If the seeding stays as it currently is Colorado will match up against the top team in MLS and Western Conference the San Jose Earthquakes.
-"We fear no one we respect them like we respect Dallas and L.A. said Clavijo. "But we fear nobody and they are going to be able to see what Colorado is going to show on the field. We are ready to play anybody who we have to play in the playoffs."
-After scoring goals in four consecutive games Ben-Dayan was relegated to reserve duty for the FC Dallas match. Even in his 32 minutes he nearly gave the Rapids a late goal only to have his close-range bid stopped by MLS debutant Dario Sala in the FCD goal. "It was close but almost does not count in football you know. But I'll try and score and help Colorado in the next game and in the playoffs he said.
-The Rapids will be bolstered by the re-addition of Mike Petke returning from suspension and Pablo Mastroeni who was not kept by U.S. national team coach Bruce Arena for their match Wednesday against Panama after starting and playing the full match in the 3-0 loss to Costa Rica. The decision was pre-arranged so Mastroeni would not miss two club matches with the USA already qualified for the FIFA World Cup Finals.
-"We're looking forward to having those two guys. We know how important those guys are to the team so it will be good to have them in the lineup and get one game with the lineup that we think that we're going to use in the playoffs Clavijo said. "We'd like to have a few more games with that but circumstances didn't allow it.

My Tow Setup
This is my setup. Very light trailer (2995lbs). Just took my first trip to Monteray, CA. (838miles). My mpg dropped to 10 mpg.:glare:
10 Mpg seems a little on the low side but it all depends on your speed, the terrain, gearing, and your MPG when empty. My 83 F150 with 302, AOD, 3.55 gears would get 16 Mpg empty at 70 Mph and about 10.5 to 11 at 60 Mph with a 4500 lb Prowler TT.
My 95 with the 300, 5 speed, and 3.08 gears gets 17 Mpg at 70 Mph and will get 13 Mpg with a 4500 lb Salem fifth wheeler at 60 Mph. The Salem and my truck are pretty aerodynamic. BTW I didn't use OD in either rig when hauling.
Hope you had a great time. I had a great summer camping and just winterized the rig until next year.
Either you were going a lot faster than the 60-65 mph I usually drive at, or you had quite a headwind.
Headwinds can kill mileage. A 20 mph headwind is like adding 20 mph to your speed as far as gas mileage is concerned.
EDIT: Notice you have a WDH. Do you really need it with that small a trailer? I've stopped using mine.
I'm very surprised your mileage dropped that low. What speed do you tow at? I keep my speed between 60-65mph. Most trailer tires have a max speed rating of 65mph anyway. I tow this 32' 7500lb "BRICK" and i still average 9.8-10.6mpg depending on terrain. What engine do you have and what gears??
I have the 5.0L gas with 3.73 rear end. I have disconnected the trailer from truck but still getting 10.6 mpg.
Is that hand calculated or do you use the computer. If you use the computer, you need to reset your mileage at each tankful.
On our last camping trip my mileage dropped from 11.8 to an even 10MPG. OK, I did push it harder and I have a theory that having the canoe on the rack helps the mileage by splitting the air before it hits the trailer (the last trip was w/o the canoe.) Maybe it's the reformulated winter gas, too.
I have been using the truck computer. I have so many creature comforts I haven't mastered any of them yet. Bought the truck Aug this year. Thanks for pointing out to reset after fill up. I have not been doing that. This is my first car/truck that has a computer in it and calculates mileage, its pretty cool!

Conversion for Large Gowanus Industrial Building?
The Real Deal noted that a development group has rented a warehouse in Gowanus for 49 years. "Boymulgreen of 255 Butler Street Associates LLC plans a multimillion-dollar redevelopment of the multi-story Gowanus site," which is a few blocks from the forthcoming Whole Foods market and the Lightstone Group's 700-unit rental complex, said the story. The Real Deal doesn't come right out and say it, but it sounds as though Boymulgreen hopes to convert the building into apartments.

Look beneath all the power and all the wealth that represents New York City's Fifth Avenue, and you'll find greed, blood, revenge.
In the thriller Fifth Avenue, each intermingles within a revered society that is unprepared for what's in store for it when one man finally strikes in an effort to destroy another man for murdering his wife thirty-one years ago.
Louis Ryan is that man. George Redman, his wife, two daughters and their close friends are his targets. Both men are self-made billionaires who came from nothing to stake their claim to Fifth Avenue. But when Louis Ryan hires an international assassin to literally rip the Redman family apart, a series of events that can't be stopped catapults them all through a fast-paced, hard-edged thriller in which nobody is safe.
Secrets are revealed. The Mafia get involved. And George's two daughters, Celina and Leana Redman, come to the forefront. More than anyone, it's they who are caught in the throes of their father's past as Louis Ryan's blind desire to kill them all takes surprising turns in his all-out effort to see them dead.
©2010 Christopher Smith (P)2012 Christopher Smith
"Such a tangled web of family intrigue...."
I would love to listen to it again but I am sorry George the narrator sounded like he was whispering throughout - maybe it's my old ipod.
The intrigue, the family plots, the twists and the agony of family money and power can be felt as Christopher unfolds his story to us.
Only to the narration but I will read Christopher Smith again.
"Good story but horrible reading"
Thrilling entertainment ( the book version)
I was reading the book and bought the audio version too for not have to stop, while having the hands occupied, but : what a horrible whispering... destroying all the joy of listening. Unfortunately I have not listen to the track before buying it!
I recommend to do that first!
Now I'm reading the second book "Running of the bulls", but the audio version is also narrated by George Kuch! Bad luck!
In my opinion Scott Brick would have been the better - if not the best- option for a good thriller like this.
"The first and the best!"
Have read Fifth Avenue twice, each time liking it more. Now, listening to it has created an even more solid story line. George Kuch is an outstanding narrator. I have also purchased two other Christopher Smith books on audible and look forward to listening to them as well.
Everything- this is horribly narrated- delivered with a creepy yet boring monotone with a ssssnake like leaky tire hiss in almost every word. The writing couldn't be more adolescent with choice of words and dialogue. This just screams very tacky mini-series on some bad cable channel.
I never would have published this attempt at literature.
See all of the above. I recommend using credits elsewhere if you're a subscriber. If you're not- a martini in a 5th Avenue hotel is cheaper- and goes down more smoothly.
"Just dull"
The story was just dull. The characters were privileged, rich, unhappy schemers. Too many characters with as much interest as paper dolls. Very slow to develop. Bad guys and good guys given away in the first 10% of the story.
Whispering, wheezing, struggling for air, like a dying man trying desperately to tell me something unimportant at great length.
I didn't finish. I restarted the book at a couple of different times to see if I might develop an interest in it, but it didn't catch on with me. It was just too tedious.
"Why is he whispering?"
OMG the narrator whispered through the entire reading. I had to have the volume all the way up. It made it harder to get through. However, the story was good; a little drug out in some places but not enough to give up on it. One pet peeve: saying "draw" instead of "drawer".
"Poor sound quality"
I found this hard going, the voice & the hissing in the background put me off & I had to return this book

Olympus OM-D E-M5 Review
1 Introduction
|2 Next
With the launch of the E-M5, Olympus harks back to one of its most fondly-remembered camera systems - the Olympus OM range of 35mm SLRs. The E-M5 is the first camera in an OM-Digital lineup that will run alongside the PEN series and, according to the company, its Four Thirds models. For reasons of clarity, it should be stated that this isn't a continuation of the old OM line - the OM-D models won't be SLRs and are based around Micro Four Thirds, not OM lens mounts. However, they do embody the spirit of the much-loved camera line - a small, well-built camera designed for enthusiasts. And, particularly in silver and black form, the E-M5 is one of best looking cameras we've encountered in some time.
It would be easy to dismiss the E-M5 as simply an upgraded E-P3 with a built-in viewfinder, but that would rather miss the point. Looked at another way, the E-M5 appears to be a synthesis of the best bits of recent Olympus cameras. It offers greater capability than the company's range-topping E-5 DSLR in a compact body with the classic styling of the OM range. It also echoes of the E-620 - the small, photographer-focused camera that, to us, made most sense of the Four Thirds concept. Its magnesium alloy body also manages to incorporate the same extensive weather sealing that the E-5 offered - complementing the similarly-sealed M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50mm 1:3.5-6.3 EZ lens the company announced in December 2011.
And it is small - actually slightly smaller than the diminutive OM-4Ti whose looks it apes. But, like that camera, it has plenty of external controls. Twin dials protrude from the front and rear of the narrow top-plate, giving direct access to the major shooting functions in a way that we always hoped the top-of-the-line PENs would. The early push by manufacturers to create beginner-friendly mirrorless cameras means it's still rare to find cameras that offer two good control dials when your hand is in a shooting grip.
The camera is built around a 16MP Four Thirds sensor, which all our testing suggests may well be the same one seen in Panasonic's DMC-G3. This can only be seen as a welcome step forward, as it's a much newer and more capable sensor. The sensor is combined with the company's latest, TruePic VI processor, which appears to bring the usual Olympus magic to the JPEGs. The company claims improved dynamic range and, with an newer sensor and better processing, it's reasonable to expect better performance in terms of noise. And, since dynamic range is the range between highlights and a specified noise level, this would be considered a boost in dynamic range.
The company has also totally reworked its built-in image stabilization system. The new design is described as 5-axis (translational movement vertically and horizontally, and rotational movement around 3 axes - shown below), in contrast to the previous system that only corrected for up/down and left/right rotation. If it works, the ability to correct for rotation around the lens axis caused by pressing the shutter button offers a clear advantage over in-lens stabilization systems. Meanwhile, correction for translational movements promises more effective stabilization for macro photography at high magnifications (like Canon's 'Hybrid IS'). The system continues to work in video. Although none of these systems is inherently original, this is the first camera we've seen to incorporate them all at once, we look at its effect on the performance page of this review.
Olympus OM-D E-M5 specification highlights:
- 16MP MOS Four Thirds format sensor
- Weather-sealed body
- Twin control dials
- New, '5-axis' image stabilization
- Shoot at up to ISO 25,600
- Up to 9fps shooting (4.2 fps with continuous AF)
- 800x600 pixel (1.44M dot) LCD electronic viewfinder
- VGA-equivalent 3" OLED touchscreen display - tilts 80° upwards and 50° downwards
- Latest TruePic VI processor

I own it
I want it
I had it
Discuss in the forums
I love it
I have been using the OM-D EM5 for two years now, as a hobbyist, and it has brought the joy back for me in photography. A beautiful, light, strong camera, easy to use and produces great pictures. However, I have had a few niggles - the rubber eye-cup has come off both bodies I own, as well as the dial cap on the right hand side. In one body, the mode dial keeps switching between Auto and SCN. Olympus needs to look into these and some other flaws mentioned by users.
Great camera for travel and I have owned the OM-D E-M5 for already 3 weeks. I love the retro stye of it as it remind me of the OM4 which I still own.
Do note that the Lumix 20mm f:1.7 lens is not 100% comparable with the OM-D E-M5 when you leave the switch ON and the camera goes into sleep mode. It hang, Sometime It cannot wake up when you press the shutter button, you need to reset the camera by removing the battery for it to reset. Even when you OFF and ON back the switch is of no good.
That was an early problem with the E-M5 and 20mm, but was fixed in a 2012 firmware update. I had the problem back then until the firmware was fixed and then no more problems.
OLUMPUS OMDE5 appears to be an interesting camera - I am specially attracted to its weathersealed body and lens ( which I think is very essential in a country like I NDIA) - that was the reason why I had purchased PENTAX K10D years ago. One thing which is bothering me is its made in China tag. I am an architect and basically interested in landscape and nature photography - I travel a lot . Can I am have some inputs from those who are using OLYMPUS OMD E5?
As a hobbyist, I have been using OMD EM5 for more than an year now and I love it. Here are some of my clicks. There are mostly landscapes and outdoors sports shots.
I recently got E-M5 and very happy with it. By no means I'm pro photographer but with my new 12-40mm F2.8 Pro lens is great combat and have been talking great picture. I use Toshiba Flash Air to use with my iPhone/ipad too. I mostly to landscape photos and it has not let me down.
It is an excellent little shooter.
THe EVF is quite good and KILLS OVFs in low light. THese were taken with one ..
The CaNIKSon shooters told me that they got VERY few 'keeper' pics with their FF sensors. I get a few 'looks' while shooting, but they soon shut up when RESULTS are compared.
Anywhere it's really dark, you'll appreciate being able to SEE.
I also own the EM-1 and have yet to put it through its DIM light paces.
I almost laughed at the absurd lie above. I went to his page to check, and there is nothing in lower light than shot perfectly well with entry-level FF DSLRs. m4/3 on the other hand, gave me a lot of trouble in the same situations.
Ask yourself: can you really trust someone who comes up with the word "CaNIKSon"? It's neither a brand nor credible spelling. I don't believe he gets 'looks' about his equipment either. I do this stuff, and nobody cares.
I'm on the hunt for a new camera and weighing up my options just now.. I'm fairly new to the game though and a bit naive in all honesty! Is the EM5 much better than the Canon EOS 7D as this comparison...
suggests? What features make this camera great and what one would you go for?
Thanks, Chad
Hi, I didn't see any answer yet, so I asume nobody saw your post yet. I'll try to help you (maybe you didn't choose yet). This comparison isn't very good in my opinion (for example, it compares 9 fps vs 8, but you have to take in account that is with fixed focus. With continuous focus is much slower and less accurate...). I had a 60 D (same sensor, and image quality as the 7D with different features) and I have now the EM-5. I can tell you it has some advantages (if you think smaller and cheaper very good lenses are important advantages; for me, it is essential), but you will have to sacrifice some speed and easyness of handling. The best way is to read the full review of both cameras and to determine what are YOUR priorities. Don't forget to look at the sample images, as the two cameras have different outputs and it's important if you don't like to spend time in post processing. You will find very nice and helpfull reviews on this site (in my opinion, one of the best). Good luck!
I sold my 7D and lots of expensive L glass after buying the E-M5. The E-M5 is much smaller, it's images are sharper (no anti-aliasing filter), while the 7D has a very strong anti-aliasing filter (much stronger than any of the other Canon cameras with 18MP sensors) and the E-M5 has more dynamic range. It's also not nearly as prone to banding as the 7D is when pulling details from shadows. The 7D is a bit more ergonomic, but it's much larger, and it's lenses are significantly larger. And the reason i sold it is because it's so heavy. The E-M5 is very fast focusing, but for indoor sports (subjects moving towards or away from the camera) the 7D wins. Both cameras are metal bodied and weather sealed. Both have 4 channel, 3 group remote flash triggering. The E-M5 also has tilt screen and touch screen (touch point to focus and take image.)

The top ten trees of Balboa Park
History, roots, reverence.
Elizabeth Salaam 10:30 a.m., Nov. 22
I am not for certain, but I think Lucille died. Lucille was my apartment complex's onsite manager. Right after the new year, we residents received a notice on our doors that said we were to mail our rent checks in due to Lucille being in the hospital. This actually did not surprise me, as every time I dropped off my rent to her she was either doing her breathing treatment or smoking a cigarette.
I can't say for sure how old she was, but the smoking probably aged her. Although I didn't often see her, her door was usually open and when I passed by she'd call out a hello to me. I said maybe a handful of sentences to her in all the time I've lived here. I feel that there was a slight reverance surrounding her as there often is with the elderly. She was neither friendly nor mean. She was neither nosy nor unknowing. Strangely enough, she seemed both caring and blase.
In recent weeks, the maintenance team has come into clean out her apartment. I wasn't home to see her things carried out, but I did see today carpet being replaced. I desperately wanted to ask if she indeed had passed away, but honestly, what business is it of mine?
In my head, I think she had lung cancer. I think she smoked those cigarettes out of spite, to go down kicking, to give a big 'suck it' to the world while she enjoyed afternoons of watching soap operas in her sweatshirts and turtlenecks and chatting with neighbors. In my mind, I'd like to think following her hospital stay, she decided to move back home to live with her family. Or, pack everything up to go live by the beach.
In the time she has been gone, every time I pass her door, I wonder where she went. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions as to what might have happened, but whatever did and wherever she is, I hope she is happy.

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/208,767, entitled "INFORMATION VIEWING SYSTEM," which was filed on Feb. 26, 2009. U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/208,767 is hereby incorporated by reference.
This disclosure generally relates to computing storage systems, and more particularly, to an information viewing system that organizes data stored in databases according to an ontological model.
Databases organize data records in storage devices such as hard disk drives, tape drives, or other memory components of a computing system. Due to the wide variance in the structure of data, differing type of data models such as relational data models, conceptual data models, or physical data models have been developed to organize data in a specific format. The metadata data model is one particular type that has been implemented for use with various types of web resources and may provide a structure for linking elements of data with one another.
According to one embodiment, an information viewing system includes an ontology viewing engine coupled to a client and a knowledge store that stores records organized according to a domain ontology. The ontology viewing engine receives requests for records from the client, filters the domain ontology according to a display ontology, generates a graphical user interface (GUI) according to the display ontology including the requested records, and transmits the GUI to the client through an application programming interface of the GUI.
Some embodiments of the disclosure may provide numerous technical advantages. For example, one embodiment of the information viewing system may provide a re-usable platform for viewing differing types of information by any one of a number of differing client applications. The ontological model from which the records are organized may be derived from aspects that may be common to differing types of data. For example, personnel associated with a particular organization may be an interesting aspect of several differing types or organizations. Thus, the ontological model may be applied to differing types of client applications to organize available data associated with each organization into a form that provides efficient use of the data.
Some embodiments may benefit from some, none, or all of these advantages. Other technical advantages may be readily ascertained by one of ordinary skill in the art.
A more complete understanding of embodiments of the disclosure will be apparent from the detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
It should be understood at the outset that, although example implementations of embodiments are illustrated below, various embodiments may be implemented using any number of techniques, whether currently known or not. The present disclosure should in no way be limited to the example implementations, drawings, and techniques illustrated below. Additionally, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.
The resource description framework (RDF) is a specification that applies conceptual modeling techniques to provide a structure for data in which its elements may be linked with one another according to their relationship. Such data structures may provide enhanced utility by improving search capabilities and/or developing a context from which to infer other aspects of information that may not be included in the data while in its raw form.
RDF databases have been developed that store data according to the RDF specification. Access to data from these databases is provided by a RDF query language commonly referred to as the SPARQL query language. In each case, application software written to access data from RDF databases typically includes appropriate software code written according to the SPARQL query language. Data stored in RDF databases, however, is not typically structured in an easily displayable form. Thus, development of differing software applications may require an undesirable duplication of effort to map data structured according to the RDF specification in a presentable, displayable format.
Certain embodiments of information viewing system 10 that generates a GUI comprising a display structure for data formatted according to RDF specifications may provide enhanced benefit over data that is retrieved directly from knowledge store 22. For example, ontology display engine 12 may have a specified ontological structure that provides for re-use by differing types of clients 16. Thus, the development time required for new types of clients 16 may be reduced by using the display structure provided by ontology display engine 12 for presentation of data from knowledge store 22.
Certain embodiments of ontology display engine 12 may also provide enhanced searching capabilities using relevant aspects of the stored data. Although, knowledge store 22 provides data using a linked, structured form, it may not necessarily provide access to the data according to its one or more useful aspects. For example, data associated with a service outlet such as a hospital may be organized in several aspects that may be useful to users such as the number and type of doctors who practice there. Building inspectors, on the other hand, may be relatively more interested in other personnel who may be responsible for the structure and maintenance of the hospital building. The ontology from which the data is organized, therefore, may be structured to accommodate these various aspects of the hospital in a relatively accessible and/or searchable manner.
In one embodiment, information viewing system 10 includes a summary data processing utility 14 that generates summary data about records processed by ontology display engine 12. Summary data may include any type of information about records stored in knowledge store 22. That is, summary data may include any abstracted characteristics of artifacts that may be relevant to a specific ontology. For example, summary data generated by summary data processing utility 14 may include a quantity of artifacts stored in records that fall into a particular category within knowledge store 22.
Data processing tools 20 receive raw data from any one of a number of data sources 18 and structures the data in a linkable form. In one embodiment, data processing tools 20 structure the data in a subject-predicate-object ontological model according to the RDF specification. Data structured according to the subject-predicate-object ontological model may be referred to as triples. As an example, a raw data element comprising "John has a convertible automobile" may be parsed by a data processing tool 20 into a triple including "John" (the subject), "has" (the predicate), and "convertible automobile" (the object).
Any type of data processing tool 20 may be implemented with information viewing system 10. Suitable types of data processing tools 20 include the NETOWL™ software package, available from SRA International Incorporated, the TOPBRAID™ software suite of programming tools available from Topquadrant Incorporated, and/or any custom raw data parsing tool that parses raw data to conform to the RDF specification.
Knowledge store 22 may be any suitable semantic reasoner that links data with one another, and stores the parsed data in a structured, linked format. In a particular embodiment in which data is parsed according to the RDF specification to form triples, knowledge store 22 may link triples according to their common subjects, predicates, or objects. Furthering the example cited above, knowledge store 22 may generate an structured list of artifacts (people) who own convertible automobiles, another structured list of artifacts (possessions) owned by John, and/or even another structured list of artifacts (objects) with which John has an association. Thus, knowledge store 22 provides data in a linked, structured form from which searches may be performed using a particular context to infer other aspects of information about the raw data. In one embodiment, knowledge store 22 comprises an OWLIM™ software package available from Ontotext AD, located in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Client 16 receives the structured, linked data structured in a GUI from ontology display engine 12 and displays it for consumption by a user. In one embodiment, client 16 comprises a user interface that displays the GUI provided by ontology display engine 12. The user interface may include a display, such as a cathode ray tube (CRT) or a liquid crystal display (LCD), and one or more input device, such as a keyboard and/or mouse that provides interaction of the user with ontology display engine 12. In another embodiment, client 16 may comprise another executable application that receives the GUI generated by ontology display engine 12 and performs one or more additional operations on the linked data presented inside. For example, client 16 may comprise a web application that operates as an online retail outlet for certain products in which the web application accesses ontology display engine 12 to display certain aspects of products offered by its website.
Ontology display engine 12 and summary data processing utility 14 is stored in a memory 28 of a suitable computing system 30, and executed by a processor 32 coupled to the memory 28. Computing system 30 may generally be adapted to execute any of the known OS2, UNIX, Mac-OS, Linux, and Windows Operating Systems or other operating systems. Computing system 30 in this embodiment comprises a processor 32 and a memory 28. In other embodiments, computing system 30 may include more, less, or other component parts.
Certain embodiments of ontology display engine 12 and/or summary data processing utility 14 may include logic contained within a medium. Logic may include hardware, software, and/or other logic. Logic may be encoded in one or more tangible media and may perform operations when executed by a computer. Certain logic, such as the processor 32, may manage the operation of the computing system 30. Examples of the processor 32 include one or more microprocessors, one or more applications, and/or other logic. Certain logic may include a computer program, software, computer executable instructions, and/or instructions capable being executed by computing system 30. In particular embodiments, the operations of the embodiments may be performed by one or more computer readable media storing, embodied with, and/or encoded with a computer program and/or having a stored and/or an encoded computer program. The logic may also be embedded within any other suitable medium without departing from the scope of the invention.
The logic may be stored on a medium such as memory 28. Memory 28 may comprise one or more tangible, computer-readable, and/or computer-executable storage medium. Examples of the memory 28 include computer memory (for example, Random Access Memory (RAM) or Read Only Memory (ROM)), mass storage media (for example, a hard disk), removable storage media (for example, a Compact Disk (CD) or a Digital Video Disk (DVD)), database and/or network storage (for example, a server), and/or other computer-readable medium.
Although the illustrated embodiment provides one embodiment of a computing system that may be used with other embodiments, such other embodiments may additionally utilize computers other than general purpose computers as well as general purpose computers without conventional operating systems. Additionally, embodiments may also employ multiple general purpose computers or other computers networked together in a computer network. For example, multiple general purpose computers or other computers may be networked through the Internet and/or in a client server network. Embodiments may also be used with a combination of separate computer networks each linked together by a private or a public network.
In a particular embodiment, geo-spatial map utility 36 may comprise a GoogleEarth Desktop software package that operates as a thick client, or a GoogleEarth browser plug-in that operates as a thin client and is executable in conjunction with a commonly available web browser, such as a Firefox™, or an Internet Explorer™ web browser. Geo-spatial map utilities 36 such as these may interface with geo-spatial server 38 having a web mapping service (WMS) that receives requests for geo-spatial information and services responses to the requests by accessing the desired geo-spatial information from geo-spatial database 40. In one embodiment, ontology display engine 12 may be implemented as a web application with a web application API that interfaces with geo-spatial map utility 36. With this configuration, information viewing system 10 may be implemented in a distributed fashion over a network using the GoogleEarth Desktop or GoogleEarth browser plug-in that are provided as commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products.
In one embodiment, primary properties in subject viewing portion 42 b and secondary properties in object viewing portion 42 d comprise hyperlinks to other records stored in knowledge store 22. Thus, users may access other records related to those displayed in main window 42 to obtain additional information related to information provided by the displayed records. In another embodiment, knowledge store 22 stores each record with a unique uniform resource locator (URI) tag that uniquely identifies its associated record. Thus, records may be associated with one another using their URI tag.
The particular screenshot shown displays records associated with several medical facilities that are located in a particular geographical region. Thus, subject viewing portion 42 b may include primary properties including labels representing medical facilities, while object viewing portion 42 d may include secondary properties associated with each primary property. Summary portion 42 a includes summary information about the primary properties, which in this example, include the quantity of first-aid facilities and the quantity of medical clinics.
Map portion 42 e displays a geo-spatial map generated by the geo-spatial map utility 36 of
In one embodiment, map window 46 includes an expanded tag 48 that displays additional information associated with its primary property. In another embodiment, expanded tag 48 may display a hyperlink 50 for accessing other records associated with the particular record.
Modifications, additions, or omissions may be made to information viewing system 10 without departing from the scope of the disclosure. The components of information viewing system 10 may be integrated or separated. For example, data source 18 may be a single repository that forms an integral portion of computing system 30, or data source 18 may be a repository external to computing system 30, such as the Internet. Moreover, the operations of information viewing system 10 may be performed by more, fewer, or other components. For example, main window 42 may include other window portions that may enhance view of records, such another window portion that may include metadata associated with each record displayed in subject viewing window portion 42 b. Additionally, operations of ontology display engine 12 may be performed using any suitable logic comprising software, hardware, and/or other logic.
Although the present disclosure has been described with several embodiments, a myriad of changes, variations, alterations, transformations, and modifications may be suggested to one skilled in the art, and it is intended that the present disclosure encompass such changes, variations, alterations, transformation, and modifications as they fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Senator Kennedy Releases Statement on the Death of Osama bin Laden
ALBANY, N.Y. – Senator Timothy M. Kennedy, D-58th District, released the following statement regarding the death of Osama bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist group al-Qaida.
"The American military has been relentless throughout the war against terror, and the brave men and women who have led our nation's pursuit of Osama bin Laden are to be commended for succeeding in the mission of toppling the leader of the al-Qaida terror network. As we reflect on the many sacrifices made and the many struggles endured since the September 11 terrorist attacks, let us also remember that there is still work to be done to protect our nation and keep our families safe," Senator Kennedy said.
He added, "When terrorists attacked our country and senselessly killed thousands of Americans on September 11 nearly 10 years ago, we were determined to secure justice and make our world safer and more peaceful. The resolve, courage and resilience that our nation has demonstrated in the fight against terror has been largely fueled and sustained by the memory of the lives lost September 11 at the hands of bin Laden. We will continue to remember the men and women who perished that day and those who have sacrificed their lives to defend our nation in the days since, as we ensure veterans, first-responders and the families of victims and service members are supported and protected. While the fight to secure our nation's safety goes on, the death of bin Laden brings with it a sense of justice and a reminder, as President Obama said Sunday night, 'that America can do whatever it is we set our mind to.'"

It made my eyes tear up. It's been nearly two years since STBX and I have been separated, and my children still think it's as easy as a fancy dinner. So sad.
Meanwhile my daughter got to publish a "story" at school. It was about a girl who gets married in a big white dress. And lives happily ever after. She read this out loud to all the parents in her class.
I'm finding everything so hard and so sad lately.
He hasn't a clue. All our kids want is for the two of us to get back together, not a new stepmommy and stepsiblings.
It is very sad. In their attempts to escape the BSs, the WSs often end up damaging the innocent kids far more.
For Christmas, he apologized that the present he made in class wasn't painted as well as he wanted, but he had to rush and make two, one for me and one for his dad.
I never wanted my kids to know pain and confusion like that. It breaks my heart over and over when I think about it.
My best friend told me today that her daughter asked her if she and my son (both 8) could cook me and STBX a "special dinner" so that we "make up, stop the divorce," and "get back together again."
Out of the mouth of babes...
(((ChoosingHope and Friends and Kiddos)))
Peace and Light to you and yours.
Never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten.
Infidelity just continues to sneak up during every day moments in our children's lives. Yesterday, I was having a conversation with DS14 and he was telling me that he will never have sex because he doesn't want to have children and have them suffer like he is.
These are the heartbreaking moments that our WS's will never have to deal with. Fucking cowards.
Children so don't deserve this.
My heart goes out to all the children. The worst thing is that I myself had a bad childhood and can see the aftermath. I never, ever wanted that for any kids I had.
I can't control him, I can't fix him and I can't change him.
I asked her if she felt any remorse she said "I cry in the shower"
At least they have US.

Well, I guess this thread will be dedicated to Mendon since he also offended ME in the other Trek thread by dissing both my religion (Lutheran) and where I went to school (Fargo/Moorhead,MN). As it turns out, the evil empire has long had a strangle hold on Minnesota. I recall when I purchased my 950 back in the day, it seemed I only had a choice between Trek and Trek. Anyway, I still have the old beast and after riding it for twenty years (many of them as a year round commuter) it was time to refresh it. I have a bunch of stashed parts waiting for the right Yeti or some such frame to come along so I decided to strip and repaint the Trek for a place to put them until then. I decided to try my hand at a Klein inspired linear fade and after few decals and with those pretty XT components, It looks and rides pretty good. So here it is;
