N*E*R*D - Spaz
After finding relative success with their '03 debut, In Search Of…, and its '04 follow-up, Fly or Die, funk-rock brainchild of the Neptunes, N*E*R*D, returns this June with its third studio album, Seeing Sounds. Judging by the first two singles, Everyone Nose and Spaz, it seems as if beatsmiths Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley have stopped at nothing to innovate their already unique sound. As its title suggests, Spaz is a four-minute thrash-around of pure energy, packed with unapologetically loud percussion and excited snare bursts. Following the tradition of most N*E*R*D tracks, the beat takes center stage while Pharrell's lyrics serve more as an embellishment. In support of the album, the fellas are currently the opening act on Kanye's Glow in the Dark Tour.

The liver is the second largest organ in your body. It processes what you eat and drink into energy and nutrients your body can use. The liver also removes harmful substances from your blood.
Dr. Donald Hillebrand, Center for Liver Disease, UnityPoint Health – Des Moines says, "Alcohol can damage or destroy liver cells. The liver breaks down alcohol so it can be removed from your body. Your liver can become injured or seriously damaged if you drink more alcohol than it can process."
Many heavy drinkers will progress through three main types of alcohol-related liver disease; fatty liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis, and alcoholic cirrhosis.
Treatment for alcohol-related liver disease requires a healthy diet including avoiding alcohol. Your doctor may suggest changes in your diet to help your liver recover from the alcohol-related damage. In advance cases of alcoholic cirrhosis, a liver transplant may be needed.

REVIEW: Letters to a Young Mormon
The Neal A. Maxwell Institute has just released the first volume in their 'Living Faith' series. Letters to a Young Mormon, by Adam Miller, is a small, pocket-sized book with barely 70 full pages of text.
I'm finding it very hard to describe this book. Mainly because I'm trying to restrain my initial impressions to shout HALLELUJAH from the housetops at its very existence.
This book, if read and distributed, has the power to do extraordinary good. If you look at the table of contents, you might think these short chapters are simply a mirror of what you might see in For The Strength of Youth:
Agency, Work, Sin, Faith, Scripture, Prayer, History, Science, Hunger, Sex, Temples, Eternal Life.
I view this book, actually, as a perfect, beautiful and rich compliment, companion, and addendum to that institutional book of standards. The chapter on 'History', I think, contains within it a beautiful summary of what this book is – it is noted how the real life experiences of those who grappled with understanding and living Gospel principles can generally be realistically a bit more complicated than some of the simple illustrations and stories we tend to use to address them in Church meetings, and that the struggles and complexity of those in the past is actually a form of good news for us – because we are more like them than we often make clear. Miller writes:
"Our church manuals and histories are sometimes shy about this good news. With good intentions, they worry over your faith. Sometimes they seem too much like that friend of a friend who really just wants you to like them, so they pretend to only like the same vanilla things they think you do. But God is stronger stuff than this. And the scriptures certainly are as well." (p 47-48).
From my own personal experience writing this, coupled with the other reviews I've seen around, such an acknowledgement is empowering, affirming, and incredibly faith-promoting. I know that there are many in the Church who feel this way, but without having contact with someone else saying it, they may sadly feel alone, or like their life experience is out of place what is thought to be the ideal Church experience.
What Miller does is not to criticize the Church, nor to criticize your experience. It is very strongly to affirm and illustrate the essential and vital compatibility of two. In his introduction, he notes,
"I mean only to address the real beauty and costs of trying to live a Mormon life. And I hope to show something of what it means to live in a way that refuses to abandon life or Mormonism." (p. 7)
Sometimes, the inspired models that have been used earnestly and effectively in the past to illustrate and attempt to explain who God is and how he works to a particular audience are unintentionally turned into a conceptual constraining box, rather than a stepladder to being able to accept greater knowledge and understanding. God is bigger than the story boxes used to illuminate who he is – and Miller claims that looking around us, we can see a downpour of revealed knowledge about the world, and how God works. The problem comes when we try to shove new knowledge into old story constructs. That can lead us to feeling stuck, frustrated, and confused. New wine in old wineskins, so to say. His response is liberating:
"The question isn't: 'can evolution be made to fit with the biblical idea of the world?' The question is: 'Can evolution be made to fit with the God who showed himself in that biblical world?' I don't have any revelatory answers about how they fit, but given that both God and evolution are real, I assume the answer is yes. They do fit. Now it's up to us to open our doors, zip up our slickers, and step out into the storm of revelations raining down upon us. It's up to us to keep thinking and praying and testing from here." (p. 55)
Amen, Amen, Amen!
I have far more I want to say about this book. But the more I write about it, the more it's keeping you from reading this small wonder for itself.
Buy this book. Read this book. Share it with all of your Mormon friends, young and old. Read it with them. Discuss it with them.
At this moment, I can't think of a more faith-affirming, testimony building, intellectually and emotionally stimulating LDS devotional publication that I have previously read. This book has the potential to help many see the love and works of God at work in their lives clearer than they may have been willing – or able – to acknowledge before. This book fills a need. I extend wholehearted gratitude to the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for the publication of this important volume. I truly believe their namesake would be pleased.
If you really need to read more to be convinced, there is a selection from his chapter on Sin online here. Or just go ahead and buy it on amazon for $8.96. You will not be disappointed.

Last Friday, Megan and Brandon Byers celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. The young couple have been through more in that decade than many experience throughout a lifetime. She grew up in Lewisville; he grew up in Waxahachie. Both 30, they were introduced by mutual friends at age 19 and were engaged a month later.
"I wanted the American Dream," Brandon Byers said. "The two-story house with the white picket fence and the dog running in the awesome grass. Boy, that was goal number one. But that literally blew up in my face."
Now, thanks to two nonprofit organizations and hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from the McKinney community, the Byerses are being given a home. On March 3, they'll move into the first home that they've ever owned.
'We were so young'
Brandon Byers always wanted to be a police officer, but after a stint working as a detention officer in Denton County, he realized that he wanted more training and believed that enlisting in the Air Force was the way to get it.
He comes from a military family and "knew what came with it," he said. "The job I wanted to do was very high risk."
The hard part was convincing his new bride. They had just had their first child.
"We were so young and so naive," Megan Byers said. "We definitely had to grow up really fast."
Brandon began basic training in May 2005 and then moved to Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. Six months later, he deployed to Iraq and was tasked as a .50-caliber machine gunner in Camp Bucca, which was one of the country's largest detainee facilities.
Part of his job was to search for unexploded ordnances in the area — weapons like bullets that did not explode initially but can still pose a risk of detonation decades later.
About five and half months into his deployment, on Oct. 16, 2006, his vehicle was hit by an explosively formed projectile, or EFP.
"I remember a very large plume of dirt with a small orange flash," Brandon Byers said.
He woke up lying in the back of the truck. The tip of his left index finger was dangling. His uniform was torn, he was covered in blood. His right hand and left leg were severely injured.
The Byerses celebrate that anniversary, too. They call it Brandon's "alive day."
'A home is everything'
Fast forward six and a half years when Brandon Byers elected to amputate his left leg due to its declining health. At 27, he'd had tendon transfers, nerve damage, a knee replacement and a surgery to revise it. "My leg was basically dying from the inside out," he said.
"To have such a limitation put on you by your own flesh was just really frustrating," Megan Byers said. "As young as our family is, we decided that amputation was going to be the best route for his health and his mobility and for our family as a whole."
Two weeks ago, he celebrated his first "ampuversary."
Around the time of his amputation, the family heard about Helping a Hero, a Houston-based nonprofit that builds adaptive homes for severely injured veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
After veterans complete an application, Helping a Hero does a background check and assesses each family's needs, said Meredith Iler, national chairman and founder of the Houston-based nonprofit.
Helping a Hero works with donor partners to help finance the homes.
In the Byers case, it's McKinney-based Smiles Charity, which presents a free Memorial Day concert, with a goal of raising awareness and money through a raffle. Twelve thousand people attended last year's concert, said Smiles Charity founder Jennifer Buchanan.
"A home is everything," Buchanan said. "That's where you feel security. It's peaceful. So many of these wounded men and women, they've been traveling from place to place and haven't really had a place to call home."
The Byerses qualified for a Specially Adapted Housing Grant through the Department of Veterans Affairs to help cover adaptations like widened doorways, level flooring and ramps to accommodate wheelchairs.
"Those aren't cheap upgrades," Megan Byers said.
The rest of the funding came from the community, with some individuals donating specific items for the house.
The Byers home, valued at $300,000, will be the eighth that Smiles Charity has helped finance. The family, who primarily lives on Brandon's VA retirement and Megan's caregiver stipend, will contribute $50,000 toward the mortgage.
After living in Houston with another home recipient, while Brandon served as Helping a Hero's executive director for much of last year, the family spent time living with his parents and then hers.
They're ready to settle in, unpack their suitcases and start putting down roots.
"Finding out that we were going to be able to have a house that was made just for his needs was really a comfort that we needed. It made it a lot easier for sure," Megan Byers said. "I can't wait."
'Team Byers headquarters'
Though he's retired from the Air Force, Brandon Byers still actively serves the veteran community.
He still has pain. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and has post-traumatic stress disorder. He can do only so much exercise with his prosthetic leg, so he's taken up painting as a way to calm himself down.
He still drives, golfs and gives a firm handshake with his right hand. He graduated from the University of North Texas in May 2012.
"Because our community has done this for us, we now can focus our efforts not only on making sure we can keep our heads above water, but we can focus on our mission of helping those that feel like they're alone in this and isolated in their situations," Megan Byers said.
"The things that we have learned and everything we've been through over the last seven and a half years has made us uniquely equipped to mentor other very young people dealing with this stuff," Brandon Byers said.
Even before he was injured, he got involved in public speaking and mentoring through the Fort Worth-based Roever Foundation.
The couple began homeschooling their son Preston, 6, and daughter Cameron, 12, this past fall and will continue to do that at "Team Byers headquarters."
The house they'll move into Monday represents their new American Dream. You can bet they'll celebrate that date, too.

USPS: Letter Carrier Can't Dress Like Santa
After wearing his Santa Claus suit on his mail route for more than ten years, the US Postal Service has told a letter carrier in Bellevue, Washington that he can't do that anymore.
For more than a decade, letter carrier Bob McLean has driven around Bellevue each holiday season, delivering a little Christmas cheer while wearing a full Santa getup for two or three days.
McLean started wearing the familiar red and white when someone told him he looked like Santa Claus. He says since he started delivering mail in full Santa garb, he's caused traffic jams on his route as motorists slow down to catch a glimpse. Merchants love him because he draws a crowd wherever he goes.
He's Bellevue's most popular Christmas attraction, or, he was until this year. Someone complained to the Postal Service and he's been told to wear his official postal service uniform on the job.
A USPS spokesman says the complaint came from a fellow letter carrier. who said when he's decked out in the Santa suit, McLean isn't recognizable as a USPS employee.
via A year without a Santa Claus | USPS carrier not allowed to deliver while wearing Santa suit – Bellevue Reporter.
McLean says he's puzzled by this, because he sees other carriers wearing Christmas gear all the time. Whatever, McLean says he won't stop bringing Christmas cheer to his job, and he will wear the Santa suit one last time: on Christmas Eve.
What do you think? Should letter carriers be allowed to dress up like Santa?
If letter carriers can dress like Santa, what's to keep someone with bad intentions from doing the same?

Great tutorial Ray.
Great tutorial Ray.
Thank you, Shawn.
Superb tutorial, Ray. We'll use it a lot over at 7F to UPgrade Win8 to Win7.
Nice tut Ray.
The problem with all this - is that it is a bit challenging for the average Joe.
Many people don't even know disk management exists, or powershell ( my dad for example - he has been using a pc several hours a day for over 20 years ). They would be apprehensive about doing anything in Bios setup.
These are the kind of things that act as barriers.
People will just put up with what they been have given - too difficult and (they think ), too risky to do anything about it.
Great tutorial Ray!
Found the link thanks to gregrocker's post in another thread here.
I now know where to look in case of trouble. I printed this just in case.
I got my first UEFI machine, it's been about 3 weeks now, you know. HP envy, there's Insyde UEFI BIOS, F9 for boot menu...
All good.
I bet this tut will become very popular. Great job Ray.

TOTALStone® is pitch perfect for Wide World of Sports
The summer is over and the Rugby League and AFL seasons are almost here!
Wide World of Sports is an Australian iconic TV program on Channel Nine. The current studio set has been designed by Pitch Design utilising the TOTALStone® cladding panels supplied by Allplastics in Sydney. These panels can be used both indoors and outdoors, offering designers and project managers a very practical solution for urgent projects on a strict deadline.
Mark Dyson of Pitch Design, one of Australia's most respected and experienced television set designers, chose TOTALStone® Laja for its practical and aesthetic features. The installation of the panels was executed by Greg Murphy Scenery; the result was a stunning background!
TOTALStone® is available in a wide range of textures and colours, allowing set designers and event creators to achieve a very realistic reproduction of concrete, slate, brick, or sandstone without the disadvantages of such materials. These heavy materials are more expensive to install and not at all practical in a studio environment.
TOTALStone® is available in panel sizes of 2850 × 1300 × 3 mm and weighs only 5.5 kg/m2. It comes in different textures and colours, and it can easily be painted over. TOTALStone® panels, arches and pillars are available in stock.

This Dell printer is the worst printer I have ever had since I have been using printers.I have had problems with it staying on once it has been setup for the wireless access. I finally just kept it hooked into a USB portal line.I start to print a paper and the printer just starts spitting out paper after paper with just jibbed characters that does not mean anything to me or what I was trying to print. The ink is so expensive and it does not last as long as it should for the price.You can only order from Dell and that is an inconvenience because one ink might go out and the other ones might still be going strong. It keeps you constantly ordering one or the other. You know that if one of the inks go out and you don't have one to replace it right then the printer will not work at all. I have come to the conclusion that I will only buy a dell desktop if I can find another desktop that I like better I will stop buying dell products completely along with a couple of other name brands that I have used before. Dell what about the convenience of your customers? Why can't we buy ink from other merchants for your printers, is the profits more important than we are? I am junking the Dell V525W all-in-one printer, and you have lost a loyal customer ever since I have been buying computers. I am a great-grandmother working on her Masters in Human Services with a concentrations in Health and Wellness!

FRANK J. OTERI: The orchestra is a very large organization. Certainly with recorded sounds and with electronics people are creating film scores with many fewer people. Your breakthrough film score Drugstore Cowboy certainly doesn't have a large orchestra. It works with electronics and does some really, really fascinating things. Is it necessary to have an orchestra to really flush out a film?
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: Obviously not. But on a movie like Interview with a Vampire or any of the Batmans I did, you need that orchestral tonnage. You need that, as Stravinsky called it, testicular weight. To give the audiences what they feel they deserve when they walk in. They want to hear that big orchestral sound that takes them for a ride. It really is sort of a carryover and a true extension of what people expect when they went to grand opera. It's expectation. You see these giant cinematic images of heroism and it's very, very difficult to provide what you need dramatically with a few instruments.
FRANK J. OTERI: There is something almost quaint and silly about seeing a silent film accompanied by an upright piano. Here you have this big chase scene (laughing) and they're just kind of running up the scale and down the scale.
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: Every movie has its own, again, task. You have to say, what is this about? What do I have to accomplish here? What set of instruments? Whether it's one instrument or no instruments or a large orchestra? What does it really feel like it needs? Sometimes it's very, very mundane kind of reasons. It's their studio. It's a franchised movie. They need to make back a hundred million dollars so there's a certain expectation that you need to fulfill for the audience at one point. Other times it's an art house movie. It's kind of unusual. You can really, really experiment. There's not the crazy need to make back tons of money for the producers. The directors are less nervous and they tend to let you experiment more.
FRANK J. OTERI: Now, a lot of people go to these heroic movies with big orchestra scores. They hear that and expect that, as you said. But that might be the only time a lot of people ever hear an orchestra. These are people who don't go to symphony orchestra concerts. Yet the sound of the orchestra is still a part of their lives. There are lots of people who say the orchestra is this antiquated dinosaur that is not relevant to America and that it is not relevant to the 21st century. But clearly it is when it's in these film scores that so many people see.
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: Clearly it is. And they are being exposed to very avant-garde things in the orchestra that if they heard [the same music] in the concert hall, they'd just think it was really weird and they'd walk out.
FRANK J. OTERI: Well, or they wouldn't be in the concert hall to begin with. The argument that I use all the time is the people who are open to many of these new ideas are people the concert hall, for some reason, is not attracting.
ELLIOT GOLDENTHAL: That's right. I couldn't agree with you more and the orchestra is, indeed, part of their life.

Researching some electric options for a 20-24lb model project (P-51) the kit came with pneumatic retracts (2 mains and 1 tail) and stuts so i have a few options:
buy actuators from someone like wingspan or Robart and replace the cylinders with the actuators myself, this would cost around $300 from either supplier
buy whole new units including struts and wheels from someone like ESM, this would cost around $300 as well but wont fix the tail so I would have to probably make the tail a fixed tail and not retracting
Send the retracts that came with the kit to someone like down and locked and get them converted, wingspan also do this for an extra $100, will probably be about $180 more than buying the actuators separately but they will be do all the hard work and make sure its sweet.
Thoughts anyone, have i got any other options?
Unless you are referring to the set I already have, which are NOT Robarts, they are Phoenix Models air type and I would prefer not to go down the air route out of personal preference. The frames of the ones I have though look OK, so I may end up getting an electric conversion kit from Robart with an extra actuator for the tail unit. Will need to contact them to find out the cost to ship and the size of their actuators.
I would go spring-air and have peace of mind. In my humble opinion there are no reliable electric retracts when you cross the 18-20 lbs barrier.
And when I say reliable I mean 99,99%, 90% won't do!
But if you insist to experiment, please do and post results.
In Europe people with heavy warbirds use Eurokit, I know they are expensive but they are supposed to be good.
Almost any system will break from a super hard landing so I'm more concerned about reliability.
The times are changing my friend, I know its slow but I can see the future of air retracts dwindling as the cost reduces and performance of the electric retract market grows
Happy to experiment at this level but anything bigger (100cc plus) I would still be using gas and using top of the line gear.
I will certainly be testing what ever route I choose allot before she flys, no once up once down then all good, 10 cycles back to back in different positions 2 or 3 times over different days.
Will post what I come up with in the end.
I decided to purchase a set of Hobby King large retracts. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._10_12kg_.html
I also have a set of Wingspan retracts that I originally installed in my B-25. They were $275 for a set of three. The Hobby King are $28 each. Even if I add $30 for shipping that is $114 for a set of three.
Here are some pictures of the internals of both retracts. The differences are as follows, from my observations at least...
The Wingspan's trunnion appears to be heavier duty than the HK. For some reason HK decided to cast their trunnion with recesses moulded into it. Seems that would take away from the strength, but that has yet to be determined.
The jack screw has different threads between the two. The Wingspan is more like an Acme thread whereas the HK is a standard 3mm thread. Both work fine.
The lead screw of the HK looks like it is one piece all the way into the gear train. The Wingspan has a coupling with a set screw that connects the gear train to the jack screw. This was an issue for me because on of my Wingspan retracts would run but the gear would not move. Turns out this set screw loosened up and allowed the output shaft to turn inside the jackscrew coupling. Two weeks lost shipping in and getting it back.
Neither jack screw is supported at the long end by a bearing. The Wingspan has a place for a bearing but not installed. That must be the $175 each option.
The motor on the HK is literally twice as big as the Wingspan. 26mm long for the HK, 15mm for the WS. Both are about 15mm wide.
The HK has micro switches that limit travel for the trunnion. I have also heard that there is an overload cutout that kicks in after 8 seconds, but it draws 2.5 during that period. The WS only has circuitry which senses a dramatic rise in amp draw and stops the motor. No micro switches. You decide which one is better.
Gear train between the two look almost identical except the HK is larger.
The big drawback to the HK is the stupid 10mm hole in the trunnion. Robart Robostruts are about 12.5mm in diameter so they do not fit. I easily made up some adapters on the lathe that will accept the Robostrut and then insert into the HK trunnion. I attempted to make a completely new trunnion out of aluminum bar stock but without a vertical mill, it was very difficult. It took a lot of time to make one, and it did not fit 100% great so I abandoned the idea for now. If I had a mill, it would not take me long to create a new trunnion that would fit the Robostrut and be more stout.
SEMP Electric Retracts
Here is a pic of the retracts I make. This set is made for the Nitromodels Falcon-120. It's all made of 100% aircraft grade aluminum and stainless steel. The trunion bock is machined out of 7075, the rest of the aluminum is 6061-T6. The strut is stainless steel, and mounts into the trunion block, and is held in place by the dowel pin that is also the piviot for the assembly. The strut is shock absorbing, and the wheel hub also has an air operated brake. The wheel hub has ball bearings, and is locked into the hub with a sholder bolt. The rubber tire comes mounte onthe hub. The motor operates from 5 Vdc to 15 Vdc. Speed reduction is accomplished by using a 40:1 planetary gear box, not a linear gear train like all the others use. The lead screw is 10-24 stainless, and is pin mounted to the gear box shaft.
Now for the electronics
A microprocessor controls the operation of the retracts and the built in programable Gear door servo drive. No other manufactures of electric retracts do this yet. There is no limit switches. The microprocessor shuts the motor off in 30 microseconds, when the current reaches a certain level. Another feature is, if the gear are stored in the up position, which is usually the way the model is transported in your car. All you have to do is apply power to the retract and they come down and stay that way, even after power is turned off, or until power is turned back on again and the receiver pulse is applied. The gear door sequencer is programable for the type ( standard or P51) and the end limits are set, as is direction. Unfortuntionaly I can't compete with chineese junk. But a three gear set is $375, and you get everything you need.

They don't look that bad for the price but still a bit weary of what measures they took in the control board to regulate the retract
Do you have a site with these on there we can look at?
What is that white part on the strut?
What are the dims on your units?
Can you custom make the mount to suit a specific flange style
Everything you need, does that include struts and wheels?
The white part is not on the strut, it's on the motor. It's heat shrink tubing. It holds the motor wires comming out on the back of the motor, attached to the PC board.
As for dimensions. I only make electric retracts right now for aircraft 10 lbs on up to 60 lbs. I'm not compeating with the imports. Right now I have 4 sizes of the PC board, thatn kinda controls the sizr of the retracts I can make. I do have PC board layout, that removes the control electronics into a seperate enclosure. Now I can make any size retract, and just run the 2 motor wires to the motor on the retract. It also allows me to replace the electronics of other manf. retracts with my electronics. So yes, I can custom make any size retract. In fact I'm making retracts for Sam, who is building a very large Concorde. He has a thread in here in the " Airliner" section. I supply the complete retract if you purchase it with all the options, mainly brakes. If you don't get brakes, then you don't get the wheel unless you order it.
I been in the hobby business since 1985. I have a EE degree withover 50 yr's of electronic experience, 40 years as a design engineer in the High Power Radar Transmitters, and every kind of Power Supply you can think of. I also had 2 years of Machine Shop training in high school, and some kind of machine shop over the last 40 years. I don't know everything, but I do know what I'm doing. The last job I had as a contract engineer, I worked on the largest ESC ever. A 6000 horsepower 3 phase consant torq. dc motor to supply main power to one of our submarines. I also have 2 patten,s register as the designer in my name.
I hope I pass muster.

Does anyone sell retract pins? I want to upgrade to a 4 mm pin, but can not find any for sale. And of course, the front pin needs to have the groove already cut in for the lock spring to fit into.

Schedule a consideration for Crew's rotation
PHOENIX -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke is reasonably sure of who will start on Opening Day, even if he is not ready to share the pick publicly. The rest of the pitching rotation remains under discussion.
This year more than others, the schedule dictates that the Brewers not simply line up their pitchers in order of ability. After a three-game, season-opening series against the Braves at Miller Park, the Brewers have a day off before traveling to Boston to help the World Series champion Red Sox open Fenway Park. Then it's on to Philadelphia for yet another opening series against the Phillies, with another day off in the mix.
"There's some matchups that we're worried about, not just the first three games [against the Braves], but the games against Boston there, and the games against Philly," Roenicke said. "So we've got a bunch of numbers on what happened, and they don't tell us a whole lot, unfortunately. So we'll try to see how camp goes, and at the end if we see something, we can switch. We pretty much know what we want to do [with] the first couple of guys."
Yovani Gallardo has started the Brewers' last four Opening Days, two shy of Ben Sheets' franchise record. But Kyle Lohse was the Brewers' best starter last season and is the most veteran of the team's projected starters, and Matt Garza was the big-money offseason addition.
Marco Estrada and Wily Peralta are the two other projected Brewers starting pitchers. Those two will "piggyback" in Thursday's Cactus League opener against the A's.
In recent seasons, the Brewers have typically kept their five starting pitchers in order, even when they encounter off-days on the schedule. That will probably be the case this season, Roenicke said, so the Brewers' "No. 4" starter to begin the year will actually get a prime assignment on the day the Red Sox get their World Series rings.
"That is a big game," Roenicke said. "Yeah, it is, and it's not one that we just don't think about or we say, 'Oh, we'll be OK.' You have to think about those things."

Pope Francis tells new bishops: the world is tired of 'trendy' priests
[How about trendy popes?]
Title by Carol Glatz (Catholic News Service), introduction by Josephine McKenna (Religion News Service), and quote from both reports
Posted Friday, 16 Sep 2016
Francis made his remarks Friday (Sept. 16) in a speech to newly appointed bishops who have been taking part in an annual Vatican orientation course on their new job.
In his address, the pope focused mostly on the approach they should take as pastors, saying in effect that attitude would do more to build up the diocese than any special management techniques.
[One quote stands out:]
"The world is tired of lying spellbinders and, allow me to say, 'trendy' priests or bishops. The people sniff them out – they have God's sense of smell – and they walk away when they recognise narcissists, manipulators, defenders of their own causes, auctioneers of vain crusades."
[Is this an example of what Dr. Jeff Mirus had in mind when he wrote …?]
"History provides striking examples of how the particular wording that ultimately made it into a Magisterial document actually admits of interpretations other than what the pope or council apparently had in mind, or other than what everybody presumed at the time. For example, many statements which surround the doctrine extra ecclesiam nulla salus have this character. On careful study, the continuing Magisterium of the Church has found that they do not actually require the conclusions which were very likely in the minds of the popes or councils that issued them, and which were widely thought proper at the time."
[Or is it simply an example of "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"?]

There is not a better place to be this weekend than Lawrence, Kan., where Bill Self's overachieving Jayhawks take on Frank Haith's Missouri Tigers. Phog Allen Fieldhouse is as good as it gets for any game, but this one has special moment tattooed all over it.
In addition to the Tigers, the Jayhawks invited a plethora of prospects to their party. The Kansas-Missouri game has ramifications for this season, but the recruits that will be in Lawrence hold the key to future seasons.
The nation's best scorer, senior Shabazz Muhammad (Las Vegas/Bishop Gorman) will be in the house. Obviously, he's a game-changing recruit for Self. Jakarr Sampson (Akron, Ohio/Brewster) is a forward who has the look and feel of a guy who is in Self's wheelhouse; he'll be there too. On Thursday, we heard big man Tony Parker (Lithonia, Ga./Miller Grove) wasn't going to make the trip and then boom, we hear the visit is on. We'll know for sure once he arrives in Lawrence, but the expectation as of Friday morning is for him to be one of three elite seniors in attendance.
However, the Jayhawks aren't only catering to seniors, they've got themselves a diverse group of young bucks coming to town. Brannen Greene (Monroe, Ga./Mary Parsons) and Conner Frankamp (Wichita, Kan./North) are committed juniors with tickets to the game. Frankamp is fresh off a huge win over Perry Ellis (Wichita, Kan./Heights) and on Saturday, the future teammates will sit next to each other for the game.
The group of committed players will be tasked with making Shabazz, Tony and Jakarr see through the Phog. They'll also go to work on junior wing Semi Ojeleye (Ottawa, Kan./Ottawa). A list of best underclassmen from the state of Kansas wouldn't be complete without sophomore Clay Custer (Overland Park, Kan./Overland Park), who will also likely be in attendance.
Tying the entire experience together will be former players. From the Morris Twins to Xavier Henry to Raef LaFrentz, the place is going to be packed, as it should be for one of the biggest conference games of the season.
Kansas has a job on its hands. As a recruiter, it's a target-rich environment. The first priority is to win the game and then build on the momentum of a victory and use it to lock up at least one of the uncommitted members of 2012 in attendance. It's a big job but Self is one of the game's best and his team has playing time, atmosphere and future successes to offer these guys.
Saturday in Lawrence is huge on some many fronts.

We love our new swift and so does our son! The larger wheels are great for the uneven city sidewalks and the small profile allows me to jog with it on the sidewalk in our neighborhood. We live in an old 3 story (very narrow) row home with not a lot of room on the first floor and zero closets but the swift fits in our house very well. We love the easy collapse and open. The only feature I wish it had was a full recline but it is a small price to pay for such an awesome product. Thanks Mountain Buggy!

The Swift is amazing. Dont be fooled by how small this pram is. It is the toughest and easiest pram to use. I am blown away by its functionality, and the style is better then most. One click fold down, light, great storage, handles really well when going up or down hills, running, going over rough terrain or simply going to the beach. Yes. It goes anywhere you need. I love the fold down seat for bubs. My bubs is 6 months old. A lot of pram seats for his age only recline. He is able to lay flat therefore rests better if needed. The fabric is also strong and so easy to clean. I hate grotty looking prams, this is super easy to clean. I hope this sums it up for you.

I have had this pram for almost 3 years two kids and I love it and highly recommended to friends. We live on a farm and it's great on the rough roads. I have no need for a stroller as this is compact enough. Added bonus my son (2.5years old) rides on the front step (not recommended I'm sure but he loves it). Great pram

Bought in Jan 2015 along with carry cot and it has been great. So easy to assemble with zips and poppers. Best feature is how simple and quick it is to put up and down. Can be done one handed.
Fits well into our car boot (Ford Focus) and for extra space the wheels come off really easily.
Adapters for maxi cosi pebble and really easy to use too.
I wanted this buggy to use in town and for running and it's great for both. Steering is easy and it also fits on London busses.
Great buggy for those who want to be able to go off road as well as nip around shops.

I must say that I have been very happy with the swift buggy since we got it for our second daughter! Worth every penny. Easy to fold and pack away into the boot of our car. I love the fact that you can zip the sun cover onto the buggy at the top of the sun visor, makes it so much easier than trying to always find straps, having to strap covers etc onto the buggy. I also LOVE walking with my daughter, it is so light and easy to get some exercise into my day. I also loved the fact that you can just clip the capsule onto the buggy. When we had our daughter the clip on clips for the capsules are so easy to use, every accessory is easy to use with this buggy! Thanks Mountain Buggy for making my life so much easier, since we had a rubbish buggy the first time round, this buggy has made me realise we should of purchased one of these the first time round!

I am a new grandma and I wanted a stroller that I could control easily, and the Swift is perfect. I look forward to taking my granddaughter for a walk, and the accessories, for example the sun cover, is a perfect attachment. Thank you Mountain Buggy I absolutley love this stroller.
Written by: Holz
Love my swift. Very easy to manouver in all sorts of spaces. Fits through doorways and around shops with ease. Can comfortably control it with one hand if needed.
Easy fold and unfold and fits compactly into the boot. The sun and storm covers are very easy to put on and off, only gripe is the elastic bit with toggle on end to do up under the front. Often find that frustrating to grapple with.
All attachments are so quick and easy to snap on and off and seat super simple to adjust to recline/sit up.

We bought our swift in 2009 and it is currently being used for baby number two. The sunhood and gear tray suffered from 4 years of use with baby number 1 so we simply bought new ones. I even accidentally reversed the car over it once and it maintained its shape! I walk everyday on a variety of surfaces and it handles really well. It is so compact it fits in tight spaces at the shops and it is light, easy to carry in and out of the car. Highly recommend it!

My daughter is nearly a year now, we love our swift however, we are now having to order a third new tyre. We lived in the mountains in Austria for a couple of months when our daughter was born and the Swift was perfect for the rough terrain, but since being back in the UK and living in a city the tyres are wearing far too quickly.
The tyres are expensive and we now feel maybe we should be looking for an alternative buggy. Such a shame.

I have tried just about every brand and style of buggy and can rate the Swift as being the best all purpose buggy - small enough for the malls and does not engulf the boot of your car but rugged enough for the outdoors. Fantastic easy access storage basket, easy to fold down, looks smart, is comfy for bubs or toddler and the sunshade and storm cover are a really practical design and easy to put on. Better still support for this product is based in NZ and you can buy replacement parts!

I tried many prams in the store and found many so hard to maneuver in the store around all the tight areas. The swift handles like a dream around all the stands, and was small enough to get through those tight spaces. It folds easy is light enough to lift into the car boot. Highly recommended!
I agonised over which buggy to buy and in the UK there aren't so many mountain buggys around, but I have been so pleased with my Swift. It has been brilliant on all terrain, easy to get in and out of the car, even a little clio boot! And has been on loads of flights with us without a problem. Six stars!
I love my swift! It is one of if not the best purchase I have made. As promised it is light, handles like a dream and looks great.

WASHINGTON -- A former manager of a West Sayville, N.Y., company pleaded guilty and has agreed to serve a jail sentence and pay a criminal fine for his role in two separate conspiracies, one to rig bids on U.S. Navy contracts for metal sling hoist assemblies and another to accept kickbacks from vendors and subcontractors, the Department of Justice announced today. A metal sling hoist assembly is a wire rope basket-type sling, which is used by all branches of the military to hold items to be transported, such as bombs and other munitions.
Wilson Freire, former Government Contracts Manager at Peck & Hale LLC, pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court in Islip, N.Y., to one charge of bid rigging and one charge of soliciting and accepting kickbacks in connection with Peck & Hale's sub-contracts to package, paint, manufacture or otherwise finish various parts sold to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). Under the plea agreement, which is subject to court approval, Freire has agreed to serve 366 days in jail, pay a $10,000 criminal fine and to cooperate with the Department's ongoing investigation.
"These charges and penalties serve as a reminder that we will prosecute those who seek to deny the military the ability to purchase goods and services in a competitive market," said Thomas O. Barnett, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Department's Antitrust Division.
"America's warfighters deserve the very best to perform their jobs in these difficult times. Price fixing and bid rigging by unscrupulous contractors perverts the entire procurement system and denies our service men and women the best tools to support our national priorities," said Sharon Woods, the Director of DCIS.
According to the charges, Freire and co-conspirators carried out the bid-rigging conspiracy by:
∙ Attending meetings and engaging in discussions regarding the sale of metal sling hoist assemblies to the Navy;
∙ Agreeing during those meetings and discussions not to compete on certain contracts with the Navy either by not submitting prices or bids on those contracts, by alternating winning bids on those contracts, or by submitting intentionally high prices or bids on those contracts;
∙ Discussing and exchanging prices on certain contracts so as not to undercut one another?s prices;
∙ Submitting bids in accordance with the agreements reached;
∙ Selling metal sling hoist assemblies to the Navy under those agreements at collusive and non-competitive prices; and
∙ Accepting payments for metal sling hoist assemblies sold at collusive and noncompetitive prices.
Freire is charged with one count of bid rigging in violation of the Sherman Act, which carries a maximum fine of $250,000 and three years in prison for individuals for violations occurring before June 22, 2004, and a fine of $1 million and 10 years in prison for violations after that date. Freire is also charged with conspiracy to violate the Anti-Kickback Act, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment and a fine of $350,000. Under both statutes, the maximum fine may be increased to twice the gain derived from the crime or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is greater than the statutory maximum fine.
Today's case is the eighth to arise from an ongoing investigation into the military restraints industry. In March 2008, Peck & Hale pleaded guilty to two counts of bid rigging, and Freire is the third Peck & Hale employee to plead guilty to bid-rigging charges in the past year. In April 2008, Ransom Soper, a former sales employee pleaded guilty to one count of bid rigging and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. In July 2007, former sales director, Robert Fischetti, pleaded guilty to two counts of bid-rigging. Fischetti also pleaded guilty to a third count of soliciting and accepting a kickback from another lower-tiered sub-contractor in return for favorable treatment in the award of subcontracts for finishing work on products supplied to the DOD.
In September 2007, Roger Jacobi, the owner and president of a Jacobi Industries Inc. also pleaded guilty to one count of bid-rigging. In November 2007 Certified Slings & Supply Inc., a Florida defense firm, pleaded guilty to one count of bid rigging. In February 2007, two Pennsylvania executives of Total Industrial & Packaging Inc., Thomas Cunningham and Richard Barko, pleaded guilty to rigging bids on U.S. Navy contracts for metal sling hoist assemblies.
Today's charges are an example of the Department's commitment to protect U.S. taxpayers from public procurement fraud through its creation of the National Procurement Fraud Task Force. The National Procurement Fraud Initiative announced in October 2006 is designed to promote the early detection, identification, prevention and prosecution of procurement fraud associated with the increase in contracting activity for national security and other government programs.
The ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Antitrust Division's National Criminal Enforcement Section and the DOD's Defense Criminal Investigative Service. Anyone with information concerning bid rigging, kickbacks, fraud or other anti-competitive conduct regarding military tiedown equipment or cargo securing systems is urged to call the National Criminal Enforcement Section of the Antitrust Division at 202-307-6694 or the Long Island Office of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service at 631-420-4302.

Forecaster Chris Burton of MeteoGroup, said: "Most places have seen some kind of snow, with the highest levels in the Peak District and the Pennines.
"Strong easterly winds have have been blowing the snow around on higher ground, causing snow drifts and reduced visibility. In some areas, snow is drifting in excess of a metre."
The highest recorded snowfall so far was Bingley, West Yorkshire, with 22cm (8.6 inches) but some parts of north-east Wales are thought to have seen up to 30 cm (11.8 inches) of snow.
In lower-lying regions, up to 5cm (two inches) of snow have fallen.
Mr Burton said that temperatures will only be just above freezing during the day with widespread frost overnight, with temperatures down to minus 3C.
Heavy snowfall forced the closure of runways at East Midlands Airport, with no aircraft able to fly in or out.
Humberside Airport has been closed since 8am, with no flights landing or taking off at Leeds Bradford Airport either.

If no one liked anything new, shiny and buggy we'd still be dragging our stuff on an animal hide with one hand and holding a club in the other.
Personally for me Mosaic was/is a great rom but I just had to try ICS and having done that I can't believe how much smoother Fusion ICS 4.0.3 is, it's smoother than anything I've run on my Captivate in the last year and 9 months and I have flashed a lot of roms so I have a pretty good database to compare it with. But, I also like shiny things and hate dragging crap around on animal hides!
My wife sometimes fat fingers the GPS button on accident, when in the Notifications pulldown. This in turn start chewing on her data plan.
I believe I recall at one point finding out -how- to configure what on/off toggles you display in the top area when the Notifcations pulldown is opened. Maybe not.
If there is no way to remove that GPS toggle, is there another clever (but not recoverable beyond ROM reinstall) way to prevent GPS from being turned on / enabled.
how exactly does having the gps on chew up her data?
but to answer your question... older version of mosaic had the option to modify the toggles, but it was causing stability issues. the latest version was focused on stability and performance so this option had to be removed.
Well, heres the deal. We are with ATT, and when looking at her data usage, she has transactions once in a whil that are 2mb, 5mb, 10mb, 32mb in size. On all three of our phones, I have seen this. They are all transactions "sent" from the phone (vs. receiving into the phone). She's not uploading pictures to Facebook, not streaming any radio (which I don't would be a "send" transaction), etc. Also, she does most interactions on her phone when she is connected to wireless.
I did however notice that her GPS was on. I don't see any apps running (or simply installed) that she would use that in turn would use GPS, or request her Location.
Both her phone and mine are on Mosaic, fwiw. Installed it 2 months ago or so.
Any ideas or pointers on unknown phone interacts, denoted as "send" operations (according to ATT logs), that sometimes consume 10-80mb in a single shot.
ATT did tell me the last time I talked to them about this that they do do some rollup posting of usage, so maybe these larges blasts of usage are those rollup postings, I am not sure.
|ahoy!, bob is sailing!, bob's not here man!, captivate, clean and crisp, cleared for takeoff!, codename bob, from zombie with love, gingerbread, groundhogs day!? again!?, i can has diet?, laggy, mosaic, no msg, nunja style!, rogers, samsung/at&t got pwnt!, silk toilet paper, smokin in da boyz room, steve jobs approved, team phoenix, uniporn is coming?, uniporn theme, where's my helmet?, you forgot "winning"-adam

Many communities around the world are making an attempt at combating urban sprawl. An excellent example is in a town near San Francisco, California. They are preventing urban sprawl and revitalizing a formerly industrial waterfront by creating a pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented city.
What separates Hercules from other cities is that they are reclaiming land that was previously used for other functions instead of building on unused land that is "green".
The town is also taking transit-oriented development to another level with a transit hub that will include a ferry terminal, an Amtrak rail station and buses destined for surrounding communities. Next to the terminal will be homes, offices, restaurants, retail stores and public space. Having everything close by encourages residents to walk instead of using the car, shop locally and meet their neighbours.
Having transit options, especially going to San Francisco, is a step in reducing traffic on some of the continents most congested roads.
Reducing congestion and commute times are ideas the vivaNext project will also bring to York Region.
What do you think about Hercules and the new urbanism in this suburban town?<-->

The season is almost here -- at this time next week, we'll be dissecting everything that happened against the Miami RedHawks. One more week of preview material in Across The Field, a regular feature on BuckeyeNation where we point you to noteworthy Buckeyes coverage here and elsewhere. Think something should be included? Send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. First, our week in review:
Urban Meyer loves Ohio State's traditions already, and he wants to add a few more, such as this new pregame routine.
Our Austin Ward and WolverineNation's Michael Rothstein debated whether this is the start of a new 10 Year War.
Here's a look ahead at the final two games of the season against Wisconsin and You Know Who.
Storm Klein is back on the team in what some consider a controversial move, but might have a hard time moving up on the depth chart. Would you have reinstated him?
Curtis Grant, now the starter at Klein's former middle linebacker spot, had a disappointing freshman season, but is ready for the hype this time around.
The receivers have come a long way since the spring.
The five captains are all seniors, and the team has come through camp relatively healthy, although it's hard to keep John Simon out.
Austin Ward is counting down the 10 players who are most likely to make an impact this season. The first four are Carlos Hyde, Garrett Goebel, the right tackles (we'll have more on that Monday) and Philly Brown.
By the way, don't miss Austin Ward's weekly chats at 2 p,m. Thursdays. Here's a recap of what they talked about last week.
Freshman defensive lineman Adolphus Washington is making a bigger impact than anticipated because of a growth spurt.
Brad Bournival counted down the top 14 targets for 2014: No. 14 to No. 8 and No. 7 to No. 1.
He also talked to the brother of a Browns cornerback who has some history with Urban Meyer.
How will Meyer handle the new kickoff rules? He'll avoid the "freaks."
Brad Bournival is hitting the circuit talking to potential recruits and talked to Donovan Munger, Joe Henderson, Nolan Jackson-Daniel, Greg Claytor and Eric Glover.
Brad also caught up with Craig Krenzel, who says the championship season is more special to him now than it was then.
Players in Ohio State's 2013 class had their senior debuts over the weekend.
Recruits seem to love offensive line coach Ed Warinner.
And there's no reason to be scared off by the symbol, because we're offering a free trial right now.
