text: 1985-87 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 MAY 1, 2006 During the mid-1980s, it sometimes seemed like you couldn't throw a rock without hitting an Oldsmobile Cutlass. The car appealed to a huge slice of the buying public, with room for the family, a comfortable ride, reasonable performance, a dollop of luxury, handsome styling, and outstanding value for the dollar. It may be hard to believe today, but it was only two decades ago that cars like the Cutlass, Cutlass Ciera and Delta 88 helped Oldsmobile snatch second place in the sales race away from Ford with a production of nearly 1.2 million cars in the 1985 model year. Accounting for a tiny percentage of that production, but a big share of the spotlight, was the 4-4-2, a revered model name that had once again returned from limbo to designate Oldsmobile's high-performance midsized sedan. Starting with the same G-body platform that carried the Buick Regal, Chevrolet Monte Carlo and Pontiac Grand Prix coupes, Oldsmobile built an assertive, V-8-powered, rear-wheel drive performance car for the CAFE-hobbled, litigation-conscious '80s. To create the 4-4-2, Oldsmobile started with a Cutlass Salon Coupe-the plushest trim level of the line-and stirred in the contents of option package W42, which included good stuff like a high-output, 180hp version of its 307-cu.in. V-8, a four-speed automatic transmission, dual-outlet exhausts, a 3.73:1 rear-axle ratio, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a full complement of gauges, a performance-tuned suspension, and wide Goodyear Eagle GT P215/65R15 white outline performance tires. The car was available in White, Medium Gray Metallic and Black in its first year, when 3,000 examples were built-fewer than one per dealership. All came with a Silver Metallic secondary lower body color, separated by a Gold Metallic accent stripe and gold accent stripe over the wheel openings. With its bold 4-4-2 emblems and chrome/Metallic Gold 15-inch wheels shod with white outline performance tires, the 4-4-2 looked like nobody's business. In 1986, the 4-4-2 returned with few changes. Available finishes now included Dark Teal Blue Metallic and Burgundy Metallic, while White was no longer offered. Otherwise, the most noticeable change was in the grille, which lost its eggcrate pattern in favor of thin vertical bars. Production edged up to 4,273. The 4-4-2 returned for its third and final year in 1987, this time based on the regular Cutlass Supreme, rather than the more upscale Salon; 4,208 examples would leave the factory. New this year were composite headlamps in place of sealed beams, and reshaped front grilles. The end of the run was meant to coincide with the end of rear-wheel-drive Cutlass production, but the General saw that there were still a few dollars to be wrung from the tooling, and brought the old favorite back for a final curtain call in 1988. Because many of the bits and pieces that went into the 4-4-2 package could also be ordered separately, it's important to know how to make sure you're looking at the genuine article. The eighth code of the VIN should be a 9, indicating the high-output 307, and there should be a W42 code on the RPO sticker located under the trunk lid. Under the hood should be a dual-snorkel air cleaner with a chrome lid, while dual exhaust outlets should be out back. On 1985 and '86 cars, there should be a cutoff switch under the accelerator pedal, to kill the air conditioning compressor under full throttle. The passenger side of the transmission should be marked with the code OZ on 1985 cars and KZ in 1986 and '87. Finally, if you're looking at a 1987 car, there should be a speedometer that reads to 120mph, rather than 85mph. The 4-4-2 package added several thousand dollars to the price of a Cutlass, but your Oldsmobile dealer would still have been happy to direct your attention to many, many more options to tick off on the list. Consider our 1987 feature car, owned by Steven Sorah of Cambridge City, Indiana, which is about as heavily optioned a 4-4-2 as you'll find. It's one of just 501 examples built with an electric sliding Astroroof that year, a $925 option that was four times more scarce than T-tops. The list goes on to include such creature comforts as power windows, tinted glass, power seat, cruise control, tilt wheel, power antenna, external lamp monitors and much, much more, ballooning the car's $11,539 base price to an eye-opening $17,039. The 4-4-2 option alone was $2,577 alone. Contemporary testers were disappointed with the performance of the 4-4-2, particularly in comparison with its G-body sibling, Buick's turbocharged, V-6-powered Regal Grand National. But the passage of time has been quite kind to the 4-4-2, as enthusiasts have increasingly come to appreciate it for what it is: one of GM's last full-frame performance cars, and among the last to gulp its fuel through a four-barrel Quadrajet. If a car that offers exclusivity, the burble of V-8 power, assertive styling, a comfortable ride, room for friends and family, good mechanical parts availability and an affordable price tag sounds good to you, the 4-4-2 should be at the top of your list. "I do believe that you will start to see these G-body 4-4-2s creeping up in value, especially since Oldsmobile has been terminated from the GM lineup," said David Wicks, a model year advisor for 1985-'87 4-4-2s with the Oldsmobile Club of America. "Another reason why these cars will increase in value is because the 1964-'72 4-4-2s are now becoming priced out of the average muscle car enthusiast's wallet. However, I don't see these cars increasing in value as much as their close cousin, the Grand National. All in all, these rare G-body 4-4-2s are a great bang for your buck and will continue to increase in value as time goes on." Engines The 4-4-2 was equipped with a high-output version of the General's 307-cu.in., 90-degree V-8, a mercenary of an engine that in its 10-year lifespan labored under the hoods of Buicks, Pontiacs, Chevrolets and Cadillacs, as well as nearly every model in the Oldsmobile lineup, from Cutlass to Toronado. The 307 featured an iron block and heads and a bore and stroke of 3.8 inches x 3.385 inches, producing 140hp at 4,000 rpm in workaday form. The 307 was the largest engine available in the Cutlass and its G-body siblings, and was equipped in all cases with a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor. Reaching into their bag of tricks, Oldsmobile engineers squeezed another 40 horsepower from the engine, in the process boosting torque up to a respectable 245 lbs.ft. at 3,200 rpm. Their go-faster modifications included a dual snorkel air cleaner, which was unique to the 4-4-2 and the 1983-84 Hurst/Olds Cutlass; an aluminum intake manifold; dual exhausts from the catalytic converter back; and a hotter, 0.440-lift camshaft-which also stirred some muscle car-ish lumps into the engine's idle. GM made one significant change to the 307 during the three years covered here: In mid-1985, new cylinder heads with a roller-lifter valvetrain were introduced. The earlier, flat-tappet heads, marked "5A" on the front, are preferred for their larger intake and exhaust ports; the later heads, marked "7A," were designed to increase the amount of swirl in the combustion chamber to improve mileage and emissions. The engines of some, but apparently not all, 4-4-2s built after mid-1985 had 7A heads; these are rated at 170hp at 4,000 rpm and 250-lbs.ft. of torque at 2,600 rpm. The engine's specialty was low- and mid-range torque, giving a satisfying push off the line but not too much after that. In 1985, the 4-4-2 was on an even horsepower footing with the Monte Carlo SS, with its 305-cu.in. L69 V-8, and gave up 20 horsepower to Buick's Regal Grand National, powered by a 3.8-liter Turbo V-6. But you wouldn't know it from Car and Driver's July 1985 comparison of the three G-bodies. The 4-4-2 managed 0-60 in 9.1 seconds, well behind the Grand National's 7.5 seconds and the Monte Carlo's 7.8 seconds. Things didn't improve further down the road, either: 100 mph came up after 31.3 seconds, while the Grand National and the SS turned the trick in 22.9 seconds and 25.6 seconds, respectively. The king of the drag strip it was not. Generally, the 307 is a reliable and durable unit. Some engines came out of the factory with egg-shaped cylinder bores, and burned oil; the cure is to have the out-of-round cylinders bored, and to fit oversized pistons. The aluminum intake manifold has been known to develop leaks where it mates with the iron heads; look for leaks at the front of the engine. A knock can mean a bad main bearing, but it can also be a cracked flex plate or loose bellhousing bolts. Also, you may hear the sound of detonation, because timing was advanced 20 degrees BTDC. Transmissions Just one transmission was available, a THM-200-4R four-speed automatic with a lockup torque converter, using ratios of 2.74:1, 1.57:1, 1.00:1 and 0.67:1. The transmission was operated through a floor-mounted shifter in a console. Introduced for the 1982 model year, these transmissions were used across the GM lineup, and were continually refined and improved. THM-200-4Rs developed a reputation for durability, as long as their fluid has been changed on schedule and they haven't been subjected to abuse. There are any number of aftermarket modifications that can be done to beef the unit up for high-performance applications. The 4-4-2 lacked the flashy Lightning Rod triple-stick shift of its immediate predecessor, the Hurst/Olds, but installing one would be a straightforward, if expensive, job. Figure on $850 to $1,000 for the shift mechanism and the special top plate to finish it off. Differentials All 4-4-2s were equipped with 3.73:1 gearing, to help make the most of the engine's power off the line, and an optional limited-slip differential, to keep that power flowing in the right direction. With an 8.5-inch ring gear, it's a pretty sturdy unit. GM saddled some of its 307-equipped cars with gear ratios as high as 2.14:1, so the 3.73:1 differential, the lowest factory gearing available, is coveted today as a quick and easy way to attain better performance for these cars. Used units change hands for as much as $1,500, and it's not unheard-of for these to be scavenged from 4-4-2s that might otherwise be considered candidates for restoration. Suspension A big part of the reason behind the popularity of the Cutlass was its creamy ride, with handling willingly traded away in favor of comfort. Up front, unequal-length control arms were mated with coil springs and an anti-sway bar, while out back, coil springs, another anti-sway bar and four trailing links located the live axle. Figuring that 4-4-2 buyers might be more interested than most in getting around corners quickly, Oldsmobile equipped each with the upgraded F41 suspension package, with higher-rate springs all around, firm-ride shock absorbers in front with air shocks in the rear, and thicker anti-sway bars front and rear. Even so, the car is still somewhat boaty by modern standards. To further tighten things up, consider installing gas-charged shock absorbers, stiffer springs, thicker anti-sway bars and polygraphite bushings. One caution: Remember, these cars are around two decades old now. Carefully inspect the front end, and make sure that the ball joints, tie rod ends and other components that are subject to wear are in good shape. Brakes You're not expecting to find discs all around, are you? Good. Oldsmobile installed its tried-and-true, power-assisted disc/drum setup in the 4-4-2. The discs are 10.5 inches in diameter, and vented; the drums measure 9.5 inches. If you want more braking power, it's possible to swap the rotors for the 12-inch units from a 1988-92 Camaro; this requires the spindles to be changed over, and the installation of aftermarket control arms to keep the camber in spec, so it's not something you can do on your lunch hour. A much easier improvement is the use of carbon-metallic brake pads. Body The natural enemy of the G-body 4-4-2 is rust, with door bottoms and rear quarter panels the first to succumb. Ron Memmer, owner of Ron's Classic Cutlass in Monticello, Indiana, estimates that of 40 to 50 G-body parts cars in his yard, there is not a single useable door to be found. Instead, he gets his used doors from a supplier in the South, where the roads are free of salt. While door skins are available, the rust usually spreads to the interior structure of the door, making repairs much more difficult. The place to check is in the seam where the outer skin wraps around the inner structure; once rust has gotten a toehold here, "forget it, there's no hope," Memmer says. NOS door assemblies can be found, if you have $900 or so to spare. The same doors fit the Buick Regal, by the way. Rear quarters begin to rust where muck gets caught between the inner and outer fenders; by the time it becomes visible on the outside, it will already have spread. Replacement panels are not being produced, and NOS quarter panels sell for a breathtaking $2,000 to $2,500, so the only economical option is to weld in new metal to repair what remains, or find a good donor panel from a parts car. Other areas where rust can appear are around the T-top panel or sunroof opening on cars so equipped, in the floor pans and on the cowl below the windshield. Don't be tempted to buy a car that has rust in these areas, as you'll save yourself a lot of grief by holding out for a better example. Also, look for cracks where the door hinges are mounted to the body. Some owners like the look of the Hurst/Olds, and add the aerodynamic aids to their 4-4-2s. A front air dam will cost approximately $500 to $600, while the rear spoiler can be had for $375 in metal, and $650 in the original fiberglass. The Hurst hood scoop and molding will set you back an additional $375. One extremely rare option was the dealer-installed Hurst/Aero grand effects package. If you can find an original, uninstalled kit in gray gelcoat, expect to pay $2,000. Interiors 4-4-2s were well equipped, with contoured front bucket seats, air conditioning, a sports console, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cut-pile carpeting and other creature comforts. These interiors tend to wear well, although velour upholstery is prone to developing bald spots, and the padded dash caps are prone to cracking, particularly in sunny regions of the country. Budget $500 to $600 for a good, used dash pad, or $700 to have the cracked pad refurbished. It pays to spend a little extra for a car with a good interior; NOS upholstery is very hard to find and, Memmer says, no one is producing replacement seat covers. Surprisingly, for a car produced in such limited numbers, interior accent trim varied from year to year, which means that replacement door panels must come from the same model year. The doors of 1985 cars had imitation burled wood, which switched to imitation woodgrain in 1986, and slate gray in 1987. Wheels & tires The 4-4-2's lines were set off perfectly by 15x7-inch chrome Super Sport wheels, with the center sections of the spokes painted gold. The 1983-'84 Hurst/Olds used the same wheels, with the centers painted silver. When GM discontinued the wheels, part number 22528518, in the early 1990s, they were selling for $1,000 a set; now, the going price is double that, if they can be found. Reproduction wheels are available, but the centers would have to be painted. If originality is not the goal, there are many, many wheels made to fit G-body cars. Restoration parts It may seem counterintuitive, but it's much harder to find NOS parts for a mid-1980s 4-4-2 than one from the '60s or early '70s, Memmer said. Over the years, GM cut back on the number of replacement parts it produced and sent to dealers, wanting to shed the costs associated with keeping back stock. At the same time, few independent parts suppliers were interested in stocking up on parts for the later generation cars: "If it wasn't from 1964-1972, they'd just turn up their noses and walk away. Not me." Because the 1985-'87 4-4-2 has yet to appear on the radar screens of reproduction parts suppliers, the best advice we can give is to snap up all the parts you need, or think you might need, as you find them. One terrific resource for the 4-4-2 restorer is the GM Heritage Center. How's this for a deal? Just call them at 800-222-1020 with your car's VIN, and they'll send you a boatload of information about your car. What's the cost, you ask? Bupkis. Nada. Zilch. Can't beat it. Performance parts Engine performance upgrades are limited; Oldsmobile already did a pretty good job of doing what could be done easily. In fact, the easiest way to better performance is through an engine swap. The 350-cu.in. and 403-cu.in. V-8s are the same externally, which means you'll be able to use the same accessories and even the same engine computer. If you fall into the hooligan category, well, don't worry-a 455-cu.in. V-8 can be made to fit. Just make sure that you hold onto that Code 9 drivetrain. Owner's View When did his love for Oldsmobiles begin? Steven Sorah thinks it must have been when, as a little boy, he gazed at his neighbor's red 1969 4-4-2 convertible. "I've just been an Oldsmobile nut all my life," he confessed. About 10 years ago, he started looking for a black-over-silver 4-4-2, a car he had longed for but couldn't afford when it was introduced in 1985. Through a local shopper, he discovered our feature car, a Medium Gray Metallic coupe that had lived a pampered life. Box-stock and as clean as you'll find, the car was waiting just 15 miles from Sorah's home in Cambridge City, Indiana. Sorah is one of 100 licensed hypnotists in the U.S.-no, he can't make you cluck like a chicken, but he can help improve your sports performance through relaxation techniques. His full-time job is inspecting houses for Wayne County, Indiana, so he knows how lucky he is to have found the 4-4-2-he sees fewer cars stashed away in garages every day. Sorah also has a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger 340, his first car, while his wife has a 1987 Pontiac Trans Am GTA-he appreciates the 4-4-2 for its style, comfort and scarcity. "When I bought the car, I didn't realize how rare it is with the Astroroof," he said. "It's comfortable-I'm used to driving the modern cars now. Compared to the Trans Am, it's more family oriented-the car seat won't fit in the Trans Am." Speaking of that car seat, their 2-year-old son, Presley, loves riding in the 4-4-2, Sorah said. "When I kick down into that four-barrel, he says, 'More!'"

Monday Vent...
Monday, November 19, 2012
Oh Monday Monday Monday.....what shall I do with thee?!?!?
This week is a three day work week for me, which is a SCORE!! Plus, my company is giving us each an hour a day of 'free' time where one day we can come in an hour early, take a 2 hour lunch or leave an hour early...and still get paid.....DOUBLE SCORE!!
However.....that being said, I think it's probably the most stressful time of the month for me with my job. I have two other co-workers that do the same job as I do, however, one is out on vacation all week....which is great for her. I'm stuck with the other one though, who doesn't do much at all! This time of the month, I have run reports that are very time consuming and get the information out to those that need it within a short amount of time. Having shortened days working with someone who doesn't do much equals MASSIVE STRESS for me!!! AHHH!! I just wanted to scream at her today as I was telling her I didn't have time to take the mandatory extra hour, and all she did was say, "Well, just enjoy it". I explained to her I didn't have time with everything I need to do by Wednesday and she didn't offer to help, NOTHING! Mind you, she's been told she needs to help me, but she wont! Ohh.....so very very frustrating!!
OK.....pheww...I feel better. I just had to get that off my chest!
The good news, I made it to the gym tonight and did some good weights and cardio. I feel pretty happy with what I did.
I don't have much else tonight.....just had a to vent!
Have a good night!!!

Compare our Sunrise Alarm Clocks here... Lumie Bodyclock Go 75 wakes you up naturally with a gradual sunrise and also has a sunset feature to help you drift off to sleep. Lumie Bodyclock is the original wake-up light, also called a dawn simulator. It simulates a gradual sunrise to wake you naturally. Waking up this way is proven to help boost your energy levels and help you feel active and alert all day. Lumie Bodyclock Go 75 comes with a choice of wake-up sounds to go with the light including Big Ben chimes and a dawn chorus. Since time began, humans have learned to respond to the rising dawn by slowly waking up. Today, however, we tend to startle ourselves awake with an abrupt alarm call that can leave us feeling weary and irritable all day. Fortunately, with these ingenious gradual sunrise alarm clocks, we can return to the natural way to wake. The brightening light is a natural cue for your body to reduce the production of sleep hormones (e.g. melatonin) and gradually increase the levels of those that help you get up and go (e.g. cortisol). Waking with the light every day will help to keep your sleep/wake cycle on track and has shown to boost your mood, productivity and energy levels for the rest of the day. Replacement Bulbs For replacement bulbs visit the Light Therapy Accessories Category here Specification: 20, 30 or 45-minute sunrise to wake naturally 20, 30 or 45-minute sunset to wind down for bed Nightlight feature Snooze feature Optional beep alarm Power-failure backup Fully dimmable display 42W Halogen Bulb 2-year warranty Sunray effect Sound for wake-up only Dimensions: H15cm x W19cm x D12cm PLEASE NOTE: THESE CLOCKS ARE UK MODELS ONLY AND NOT FOR USE IN THE USA Contents Lumie Bodyclock Go 75 Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock Usage Lumie Bodyclock Go 75 User Manual (Right click and `Save Target As...` to download) Notes How Lumie Bodyclocks Work: They help you sleep better; They help you feel more energetic; They regulate your circadian rhythm (24-hour body clock); They help to alleviate SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and the Winter Blues. Clinical proof: Bodyclocks use your body`s natural response to sunrise and sunset to help synchronise your circadian rhythm (sleep/wake pattern). Using the Bodyclock will help regulate your melatonin cycle to keep levels high at night (making you sleepy) and low in the day (keeping you alert). So you sleep better at night and feel more energetic during the day. One of the major causes of SAD is a circadian rythm that`s out of sync, which happens especially in the winter in northern countries. The Bodyclock helps to get your sleep/wake pattern back in sync. Clinical studies have shown dawn simulation to have a dramatic effect in relieving the symptoms of SAD* as well as improving mood, energy, productivity and ease of awakening.

Leave a review Score Comments Name Email Submit review Score 5 Date 05/11/2017 Posted by Corinne Comment What a lovely way to wake up!! The birds outside my window also seem to enjoy the sound of birds coming from the alarm!! Haven't tried the sunset function yet as have no problem with going to sleep, but the sunrise is definitely making it easier to wake up and feel awake in the cold dark mornings. Definitely recommend it!! Score 4 Date 07/03/2017 Posted by Amy Gittins Comment Waking up in the morning definitely seems less fraught! The gentle light which builds up is so useful in the dark mornings.Tricky to get the hang of initially but once you've had a few goes it gets easier to reset the alarm. I possibly haven't worked out all the functions available to me yet to take full advantage. The clock light is still quite light even on low but I am very sensitive to light. I also have the alarm on just in case I sleep through the light! Overall wouldn't go back to a standard alarm clock. Score 5 Date 05/12/2016 Posted by Steph Wright Comment This alarm clock has made my wake up much easier. I always found it very difficult to wake up to a dark room when the alarm went off and would be forever snoozing the alarm and falling back to sleep. I still snooze the alarm but I tend to stay awake now and feel more awake than I used to. I love it! Score 5 Date 29/11/2016 Posted by J Lothion Comment This has changed my life! A much more peaceful way to start the day, being woken up with gentle light on dark mornings than the screech of an alarm. I always set an audio alarm too just in case I don''t wake up but this is just back up, I rarely need it. Would highly recommend!

This is a terrible time of year. It's getting darker, the rain is going to start any day now and not stop until next year, and I'm just about to leap into a pool with Kevin Chong, Lorna Jackson, Steve Galloway, Nathan Sellyn, Bill Gaston, Amanda Lamarche, Craig Pyette, and John Samson (a hockey pool, not a regular pool). How good can a bunch of writers be at hockey? It shouldn't be too hard, but I don't know, I'm a bit nervous about this evening's draft. Got any sleeper picks I can use to kick their asses? Lorna's written a book about hockey, for god's sakes. I hope I can compete.
hockey pools, ugh.

GRIZZLIES: Memphis currently has a stranglehold on the coveted 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies are a very talented team, and they are finally progressing to the point they are playing up to their ability. Memphis is 36-30 SU and a dominant 41-24-1 ATS this season. The Grizzlies are 14-20 SU and 22-12 ATS in road games this year. Memphis is also an unbelievable 22-8 ATS as the listed underdog this season. Regardless of what trend you come up with, Memphis has been incredibly profitable this season. F Zach Randolph has been dominant this year, as he is averaging team highs of 20.2 PPG and 12.8 RPG this season. PG Mike Conley is averaging 14.1 PPG and a team high 6.6 APG this year. The Grizzlies are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games. Memphis is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog between 5 and 10.5 points. The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against the NBA Southeast. Memphis is 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600%. The Grizzlies are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Memphis is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games.
Grizzlies are 20-5-1 ATS last 26 games as an underdog.
Under is 8-3 last 11 road games.
HEAT: (-7.5, O/U 196) Miami is coming off a great performance, as they beat the Lakers 94-88 SU for a season sweep of the defending champions. The Heat's win over the Lakers was much needed, as there were some growing concerns about the mental toughness of Heat players. Miami is 44-21 SU and 30-34-1 ATS overall this season. The Heat are 23-9 SU and 11-20 ATS at home this year. Miami lost very early in the season to the Grizzlies, so revenge is likely on Heat agenda. Miami is 2-7 ATS as a home favorite between 6.5 and 9 PTS this year. The Heat currently trail Boston by 3.5 games for 1st place in the Eastern Conference. Miami is allowing just 94.9 PPG, 6th fewest in the NBA. F LeBron James is averaging Heat highs of 26.2 PPG and 7.1 APG this season. F Chris Bosh is averaging 18.2 PPG and 8.1 RPG this year. The Heat are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU win. Miami is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. The Heat are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. Miami is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Heat are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win.
Heat are 0-6 ATS last 6 games as the listed favorite.
Over is 9-2 last 11 games against the Western Conference.
LAKERS: Los Angeles suffered their 1st loss since the All-Star game against Miami in their last game. The Lakers aren't likely to be in a good mood today, especially when you factor in that they've lost to Dallas in their only meeting this season. Los Angeles is ultimately trying to pass Dallas for the 2nd best in the Western Conference. The Lakers are 46-20 SU and 32-33-1 ATS overall this year. Los Angeles is 24-12 SU and 20-16 ATS in road games this season. The Lakers are 2-2 ATS as a road underdog this year. G Kobe Bryant is averaging team highs of 25.1 PPG and 4.8 APG this season. F Pau Gasol is averaging 18.6 PPG and a team high 10.4 RPG this year. Los Angeles will look to neutralize Dirk Nowitzki with their ever improving defense tonight. The Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning SU record. Los Angeles is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. The Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Los Angeles is 12-3 ATS in their last 15 Saturday games. The Lakers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games against a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600%. Los Angeles is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall.
Lakers are 7-0 ATS last 7 games against the Western Conference.
Over is 5-1 last 6 games following a SU loss.
MAVERICKS: (-1.5, O/U 193) Dallas has already beaten the Lakers once this year SU, at home as a 3 point home underdog. Tonight's meeting is a 4.5 point swing from their first meeting, proving how Dallas has improved while the Lakers have declined in both oddsmakers and the general public's eye. Dallas is currently 1.5 game ahead of Los Angeles for the 2nd best record in the Western Conference. The Mavericks are 47-18 SU and 35-28-2 ATS overall this season. Dallas is 24-9 SU and 15-16 ATS at home this year. The Mavericks are 2-0 ATS as a home favorite of 3 points or fewer this season. F Dirk Nowitzki is averaging a team high 23 PPG this year, while shooting a remarkable 52.8% from the field. G Jason Terry is averaging 16.4 PPG and 4.3 APG this year for Dallas. The Mavericks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU win of more than 10 points. Dallas is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against the NBA Pacific. The Mavericks are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 home games against a team with a road winning percentage greater than .600%. Dallas is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as the listed favorite. The Mavericks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.
Projected Score: 99 (SIDE of the Day)
Mavericks are 9-3 ATS last 12 games following an ATS win.
Over is 11-1 last 12 games against the Western Conference.
I am a huge fight fan and have a great sense and feel for it. If I had to choose one sport over the other, I would say that I am a bigger boxing fan than MMA fan as I have been watching boxing far longer...

This just in from the Texas Motor Speedway…
While taking a practice run this morning in preparation for tonight's qualifying race, CardsDirect car #411 hit the wall, taking a nasty tumble. Word from the track is that a greeting card competitor may have been responsible for the mishap which is still under investigation.
Driver, Sam Steady, was uninjured but the car is not in good shape. In fact, according to the pit crew, it cannot be repaired in time for qualifying. And so, unfortunately, CardsDirect's Nascar run has ended before it's even really begun!
The experience has, however, put CardsDirect out in front of the personalized greeting cards race and sparked some creative discussions opening up a new line of cards perfect for fast paced corporations interested in powering up their businesses. New card designs will include, "Rev up Sales by Sending Customer Appreciation Cards" and "Lead the Pack by Remembering Loyal Clients with Corporate Birthday Cards". Still others include, "Drive Sales with Business Referral Cards" and the unfortunately popular, "Sorry I Passed you on the Last Lap Sympathy Cards".
Hopefully with Thank You Cards for the pit crew and some repair and recycling, #411 will be back in the race by April Fool's Day next year!

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by oam, Sep 15, 2010.
Can we changed the fonts on a rooted milestone? If so, how?
Yes, fire up root explorer or any other program that lets you browse the system using a root account, then go to /system/fonts/ and overwrite whichever fonts you want. Use the same filename of the existing system font for your new fonts, then restart your phone.
Should work and remember to backup your fonts before overwriting them.
sorry i am a bit slow./...what is root finder or whatever you called it??? as i was wondering the same thing reguarding fonts.
Root explorer is a paid application that you can get from the market. I think you can find some free ones also. You can also do this by connecting your phone to your computer via USB and using the console to push new fonts to the system but it's a bit more complicated and right now I don't have the time to write a tutorial.
EDIT: Astro File Manager does the trick also ... it's free on the market.
oh ok thank you

In addition to the reduction of the heat of the Sun so that it can cool the room in it, it can also replace the structural areas with forage as a form of environmental friendly approach against the negative effects of global warming.
But unfortunately, there are some conditions where the roof can not be processed into the Park. As happened in the House which is located in Jakarta. Since the purchase of second hand, the landlord did not dare to take risks by making a full roof garden because of needed preparation of structural jasa pembuat taman solid. Because of that, it appears the idea of making instant roof garden with potted ornamental plants as well as someother so how the existence of the roof can be utilized to become an extension of the outdoor sitting area.
Landscape architect, Anggia pure Tropica Greeneries designed roof garden with a simple concept. He put chairs and a gazebo measuring 3 m x 4 m with a frame of ironhollow roof and white colors transparent polycarbonate. As for the teak table surrounding a square field "closed" with synthetic grass and water feature in the Middle as a Centre for the orientation of the view.
In accordance with the concept of urban garden, the roof garden is also equipped with productive crops such as vegetables, plants, medicinal plants, herbs and fruit crops planted in the pot to ease maintenance and harvesting in the process. Concepts like this are easily applied and light so often applied to the roof because it is concise and practical.

"Wildcard picks must have been agonising" - Bernard GallacherSeptember 2, 2014 Golf News
Former captain delighted to see his nephew make the team but admits it was tough having to leave out Luke Donald
Former European Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher insists it mush have been agonising for Paul McGinley to choose between Lee Westwood and Luke Donald for when making his wildcard picks.
The eight-time player and three-time captain was obviously delighted to see his nephew Stephen make the side for Gleneagles and believes he and Ian Poulter were the two obvious choices.
However, the decision to pick Westwood ahead of Donald wasn't a easy one and Gallacher believes Westwood's consistency off the tee was a crucial factor.
Speaking exclusively to NCG, the Golf Care ambassador said: "I'm not surprised at all about Ian Poulter, he was almost an automatic choice because of the way he raises his game at the Ryder Cup.
"You wouldn't have wanted to go into battle against the USA without him in the team.
"With Stephen as the second pick, the third pick was more difficult and came down to a personal choice.
I think Westwood's length off the tee and his driving of the ball was a key factor" "It's a very long course and Lee Westwood has the game to suit that. Luke Donald has been struggling a bit with swing changes.
"But it must have been a very agonising decision for Paul.
"I think Westwood's length off the tee and his driving of the ball was a key factor.
"Paul challenged him to show some form at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and he finished with a 63 he followed that up with an opening 65 in the first round of the US PGA.
"Those two performances just about did it for him and the fact that Paul thinks he is a bit better and a bit straighter off the tee than Luke Donald. It's going to be a long, soft course."
Gallacher insists it was the right decision to hand his nephew a debut at Gleneagles – particually with it being on a course he has performed well on in the past.
"Obviously I'm really pleased for Stephen with him coming from the same golf club as me," Gallacher added.
"He was really anxious to make the team. We could see that. But he has been playing well all year and all throughout the Ryder Cup qualification process.
"And the course at Gleneagles is one that he enjoys playing, he's had seven top 10s there.
"Also he's Scottish which will help with the crowd, I thought it was important to have a Scot on the team.
"We know how good he is, he has a good foursomes record playing internationally at amateur level.
"We would all liked him to have qualified automatically but people could see he was under more pressure (at the Italian Open) than anyone else trying to finish first or second.
"David Howell came through with a fantastic final round and Hennie Otto had a great week.
"If if wasn't for the exceptional performances of those two then he would have qualified automatically."
While waiting for Tom Watson to announce his three wildcard picks, Gallacher believes Europe has the strongest team on paper but has warned against complacency.
"Europe are favourites with Rory McIlroy winning the last two majors, Martin Kaymer winning the US Open, Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose have also been up there this year, Sergio Garcia has had a great season.
"We are at home on a course that the players know which is a very important factor.
"But that doesn't mean we are going to win. We must not be complacent. We've still got to go out there and do it.
"Anything can happen, we saw that last time at Medinah where Europe were four down going into the singles.
"It should be very exciting."

Darkheart Thicket Guide – Dungeon Preview from Legion Beta
Hi! I'm Hazel, and this is a quick overview of the bosses in the Darkheart Thicket as they appear on the Legion Alpha. Darkheart Thicket is a four-boss dungeon coming in Legion, where you'll fight to the source of the nightmare corruption in Val'sharah. Arch-Druid Glaidalis was a well respected druid authority until he fell under the influence of the Nightmare, and now he's here. Grievous Leap will spring the boss onto a player, hitting them heavily and leaving them with the Grievous Tear bleed. He then leaps back and does the same thing. Grievous Tear will continue to do damage until the target is healed past 90% of their health pool, so as a healer you want to prioritize those.
Primal Rampage is a frontal cone attack that does huge damage and knocks players back. He follows it up with a forward charge that deals more damage and another knockback. Unless you're the tank, you reallly shouldn't be in front of this. Nightfall will happen throughout the fight, leaving gross little nightmare splotches on the ground that should be avoided. It's a pretty basic fight and shouldn't give you any trouble as long as your group is mostly awake.
Oakheart is an ancient who grew out of Shaladrassil itself, and now he's looking a little corrupted and needs to be chopped down. Shattered Earth does damage around Oakheart and a small knockback. Most of your group is almost certainly going to eat this but it's easily healable so no big deal. Strangling Roots emerge under players, dealing damage over time and rooting them for a minute or until destroyed. You can dps down these roots, or you can use freedom effects or druid shapeshifts to bypass that step. Nightmare Breath is a big frontal cone breath that will kill you if you're caught in it, which makes getting out of those roots extra important. Crushing Grip will target a player, doing heavy damage to them and then throwing them on the ground for some aoe damage. Use a defensive cooldown on the gripped player, and then spread out a little so that you don't all get shmucked with the smackdown. Dresaron used to tend to the whelps under the world tree but like everything else around here he's become engulfed in the Nightmare.
Leading up to and fighting the boss, you'll see these Nightmare Eggs around the room. Touching the eggs spawns whelps. Don't touch the eggs. Breath of corruption is another frontal cone breath attack, and much like the last one this will also ruin you. Down Draft does damage to your group over 8 seconds while pushing players back. You need to run against this and use movement speed if you have any to avoid getting shoved into the whelp eggs. It's a good bet that some whelps will end up spawned at some point, so aoe those down before they cause any real trouble. Earthshaking Roar does damage to the group and will need to be healed through.
This is one of those fights that's either really easy or absolutely nuts depending on how likely your group is to trip on stuff. Shade of Xavius is a familiar face, and he's at the heart of this mess stirring trouble. He'll cast Nightmare Bolt on random players, which will smack them for a giant chunk of health which your healer will need to deal with. If you get bolted twice in a row and didn't get topped up, you are probably toast. Feed on the Weak does damage to a random target over 5 seconds, and like Nightmare Bolt that just has to be healed through. Growing Paranoia will do damage and Horrify any players standing near their allies, so spread out for that.
Apocalpytic nightmare will bring some lovely raining fire for you guys to dodge, just to make things fun. Finally, festering rip will leave a bleed on a target and reduce their healing taken by 15% for eight seconds. This all adds up to make the final fight chaotic but not super complicated. Spread out, dodge the raining fire and buy your healer some cupcakes or something. So that's Darkheart Thicket! Overall this dungeon took us roughly 45 minutes, including some wipes and DCs so it should be closer to 30 for a good run. It was cool gettting to explore the Corruption, and sets us up to dive into the Emerald Nightmare raid. Thanks for watching, let me know what you think and have a wonderful, wonderfuld day.

Molina injury puts damper on Cards' third straight win over the Buccos
ST. LOUIS — Not much went wrong for the Cardinals in a 5-2 victory over the Pirates on Wednesday night.
They moved to eight games over .500 for the first time this season with their third straight victory and sixth in the past eight games. Lance Lynn secured his 10th win before the All-Star break for the third straight season, becoming the first Cardinals pitcher to do so since Bob Gibson. Matt Adams collected three hits and improved his batting average to .336, second best in the NL. Peter Bourjos got a chance to show his speed twice, with a triple and a running, leaping catch at the top of the center-field fence to end the game. And every position player but one who started had at least one hit.
But there was one potentially lousy development.
All-Star catcher Yadier Molina had to exit in the third inning after suffering what the club called a sprained right thumb. He suffered the injury in the bottom of the second when he slid into third and his hand appeared to drag in the dirt. Molina caught the top of the third but came out when his turn came up to bat in the bottom of the inning.
"Anytime we have to take him out, you know it's pretty bad," manager Mike Matheny said. "We'll know more (Thursday). He went through some tests. He could feel some irritation. He got it taped up and was convinced he was going back in, but we needed to get it looked at."
Molina was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday night.
The Cardinals will try to complete a four-game sweep of the Pirates at 6:15 p.m. Thursday before traveling to Milwaukee for a three-game set that leads into the All-Star break. The Cardinals have picked up 4 1/2 games on the slumping Brewers since the start of the month to close within two games of the division lead.
"I happened to notice," Matheny said with a smile.
— The rookies. Kolten Wong, 23, and Oscar Taveras, 22, gave the Cardinals a nice glimpse of the future with strong offensive showings for a second straight night. Wong homered again — though a walk-off wasn't needed — walked twice and stole a base. The one out he made was a line drive scorched right to the first baseman. Taveras, getting a chance in the ever-changing two-hole, singled twice for his second straight multi-hit game.
— Matt Holliday. After coming through with a key two-run double Tuesday night, Holliday had an even better game. He reached base four times on two walks and two singles, scored twice and drove in a run. His first hit came on the 11th pitch of an at-bat, and the second came with the bases loaded but scored only one run because it was hit so hard to left field.
— Joe Kelly. It sounds like he's learned a lesson from spending nearly three months on the disabled list with a leg injury. When he starts Friday night at Milwaukee, Kelly says he will not run "80 miles an hour" to first base on an infield grounder. His left hamstring is finally healed and he would like to keep it that way. Kelly said he should be good for 90 or so pitches after throwing 71 in his last rehab start. By the way, he did not find it particularly amusing that his next start will come in the same place where he suffered the injury.
— Adams, the baserunner. Perhaps sporting the uniform pants above the knees makes him think he's faster than he is. Whatever, Adams made two outs on the bases, once trying to stretch a double and the other when he broke for home on an infield grounder. Neither was necessarily a bad play, though he still was out after coming within 90 feet of scoring. But with six hits in the series, including a walk-off homer Monday, he's probably not in a hurry to change the look.
— Idle time for Chris Conroy. The Cardinals' assistant trainer should not need a cardio workout after all the jogging he did from the dugout to the field. The Cardinals were getting nicked all night. Besides Molina, Matt Carpenter twisted a wrist making a diving stop, Holliday fouled a pitch off his front foot, and Lynn had his blister situation checked once and also had the wind knocked out of him. Only Molina had to come out of the game.
— Allen Craig. Dropping him to seventh in the batting order didn't do much to help him out of his latest funk. He waved at a slider that was well outside for strike three in the third, and in the fifth he grounded into a double play. He didn't hit the ball out of the infield all night and finished 0 for 4, leaving him hitless over his last 13 at-bats.
"He's fighting himself," Matheny said. "You get to that point where you just don't trust the fact that you can get it done right now. I'm hurting for him.
"I know — no matter how bad it looks — the kind of hitter he is. Everybody else should remember that, too. This is the kind of guy who can do some things like nobody else in the league can when he gets it right. We just have to figure out how to get him right."

Anime Review 26: Vampire Princess Miyu, Moribito, and Fate/Stay Night
Vampire Princess Miyu
Vampire Princess Miyu
This show was a little confusing at first, but after a few episodes it becomes more clear that Miyu is one of the "good guys". Miyu is your everyday vampire-killing vampiress, who looks elegant in a kimono and fights monsters with poise, determination, and most importantly, fire magic. With her is a cute sidekick that looks sort of like a lop-eared bunny or hamster or something that's white and has one cute little red eye and one big yellow monstrous eye. She also works with a pretty boy in a cape who wears a mask, named Lava, and sometimes her comanion Reiha shows up, creepy talking doll in tow.
This show plays out how you'd expect in a Magical Girl show from the late 90's, but it has a dark, horror genre edge to it as well. It reminded me in terms of general art style of Yuyu Hakusho and Sailor Moon, but the show was a bit more skewed toward the YYH side of things. The reason it was like Sailor Moon was mostly in Miyu's flame attacks that looked a lot like those of Sailor Mars. Since I'm a fan of both Sailor Moon and YYH, I enjoyed this show. It also has a good female lead character, she's as awesome to see in action as Buffy or Xena, but quieter and more reserved than either of them. I liked this show but at the same time, since I've seen a lot of things like it, not a whole lot happened that I didn't expect.
Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit
Another show with a great strong female lead, Moribito is a beautiful piece of fantasy storytelling. Set in a magical fantasy kingdom resembling ancient Japan, the story is about Balsa, a female bodyguard. She's excellent at fighting with a spear, and her reputation causes a queen to seek a favor from her: to guard her son and keep him safe from assassins for the rest of her life. Since she has some kind of emotional baggage and wants to save at least 1 more life, blah blah blah, she accepts. She escapes from the palace with the boy prince as they set his bedroom on fire to fake his death. However, her mission to guard the boys' life is complicated by an unfortunate fact: nestled in his body is a water demon egg. When the egg hatches, the water demon that comes out is prophesied to bring drought and ruin. It creates a moral dilemma for Balsa because she is essentially, by being his body guard, agreeing to protect from harm the egg of a water spirit or demon who could end up killing lots of other people. However, she does accept this mission, attempting to secretly aid the prince in escaping to new lands and hide him from his attackers, who as it turns out were largely unconvinced by the whole fire thing.
The storyline also encompasses the relationship between Balsa and Tanda, her male childhood friend. Tanda became a skilled healer because Balsa was always getting herself bruised and cut, and Balsa has a tendency to check up with him when she needs his skills and then run off on another adventure, forgetting him, and that hurts Tanda's feelings. He even says "I feel like some soldiers' wife", reinforcing the feeling that their relationship is kind of a gender-reversed one, at least in terms of old-school Japanese culture.
I own the first DVD in this series, but I was a little disappointed because it has only 7 or 8 episodes but the packaging would have you believe there were more, in other words, it looks like they could have fit more than 2 discs into the boxes they used. I have a box set of another series that is roughly the same-size box and contains 6 discs.
I remembered my first experience with this show was watching it on Adult Swim, but it was kind of late at night when it came on and I never paid much attention to the story. I would encourage you, if you saw it on AS late at night, to check it out and watch these episodes in a row, because the story is mystical and intriguing.
Fate/Stay Night
Fate/Stay Night
This show is about an all-out war for the Holy Grail that has been fought 5 times now over many years by generations of powerful magicians. And one unlucky teenage boy, Shirou, with some small magical talent but no formal training ends up being caught up in it when he's attacked by a magician and accidentally summons a weapon-person (it's a lot like in Soul Eater) with his magical hand that he can barely control.
Now this girl, who only gives the name Saber, demands that he become her "Master", that is, order her in combat against other magicians for the Holy Grail. When everything gets explained to him about the war, at first he says he doesn't want the Grail or anything to do with it.
However, the one who controls the Grail is granted a free wish, and the winner of previous Holy Grail Wars have sometimes been cunning and ruthless psychopaths, because the nature of the Wars is that they reward cut-throat tactics. So Shirou decides to step up to the plate and try to learn all he can about magic in order to win the Holy Grail, if only because he wants to stop anyone else from getting it because there's a good chance, it seems, that whoever does will cause horrible destruction.
This show was a bit confusing in the first 2 episodes but gets better over time, as more gets explained.

thankyou for sharing this with us. i can always rely on you to provide a great review. have you ever seen.. um garsh, i can't remember it's name... um something vampire bund?
Very nice reviews! I have only seen a few episodes of Fate/Stay Night, but I liked what i saw. I just haven't gotten around to finding the dvds.
Another great review. I loved watching Moribito. It did come on late, so thank goodness for DVR. There were so few episodes, so I wasn't sure if it was actually going to come to an end so soon after a bit of a slow start. One of the best lines between Balsa and Tanda was when he made it clear he wanted to a couple and, of course, she was still contemplating being a rogue fighter/protector. He simply says, "I hoped the healer would be enough." And then Balsa basically shoots him down.
Well-written and organized hub.
glad to find your post on hubpages...

Howard, Turkoglu lift Magic past WarriorsJan 4, 2011 - 6:50 AM Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Dwight Howard finished with 22 points and 17 rebounds while Hedo Turkoglu posted a triple-double, leading the Orlando Magic to a 110-90 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
Turkoglu recorded 10 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists for his third career triple-double. He got his other two while with the Magic during the 2007-08 season, and, apparently, Orlando brings out the best in him.
Turkoglu was playing in his eighth game back with the Magic since they acquired him from Phoenix in mid-December.
Jason Richardson added 20 points for Orlando, which has won six in a row. All eight Magic players who played more than a minute scored at least 10 points.
"We're in a situation here where we could be a contender for a championship," Richardson said. "Got some great players here. We know every night we step on the floor [that] if we play well we have a chance."
Monta Ellis finished with 20 points to lead the Warriors, who have lost three of four. Golden State was playing without center David Lee, who missed the game with a bruised lower back.
Orlando trailed by nine at halftime, but made up the difference at the start of the third quarter.
Richardson opened the frame with a three-pointer and jumper before Jameer Nelson hit a trey. Brandon Bass' free throw with just under 10 minutes remaining tied the game.
The Magic then took control with a strong close to the quarter. J.J. Redick's three-pointer with 2:09 left put Orlando up by four, and after Dorell Wright made 1-of-2 from the line nearly a minute later, Howard sank a layup. Gilbert Arenas drilled a three-pointer from well above the arc with 0.4 seconds on the clock to give Orlando a 79-71 advantage.
Golden State missed its final four shots of the quarter and turned the ball over once, and shot only 29 percent in the frame overall.
The Magic made 63 of their shots and used the quarter-ending run as a springboard to domination. They opened the fourth with an Arenas jumper and Ryan Anderson trey to extend their lead to 13, and led by as many as 22 down the stretch.
For the Warriors, the loss was parallel to Saturday's setback at Miami. Golden State held a 72-58 lead over the Heat before blowing it and losing by seven.
"Maybe we can just play a half and go home," said Warriors head coach Keith Smart. "Because we played very, very good basketball against two very, very top elite teams, and for whatever reason, we didn't come out in the second half at a level that's necessary to win."
Golden State led, 28-24, after the first quarter and was ahead by as many as 11 before carrying a 53-44 edge into the break.
Game Notes
Orlando has won five consecutive games against Golden State...The Magic made 15 of their 32 three-point attempts and shot 49 percent overall...Golden State shot 41 percent.

STMicroelectronics: To Sell or Not To Sell?
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) is contemplating a break up of its company that could cause a sell off of the mobile phone chip segment of their business, possibly to Samsung.
Premarket, shares of STM are up 15.60 percent on the news, yet no plans have been announced nor has a timeline for the sell-off. The ownership regime of the company may be the largest obstacle to overcome, as management is struggling to deal with lost market share in Europe and Asia, probably leaving executive level staff feeling somewhat impotent.
According to Bloomberg, the French and Italian governments currently control 27.5 percent of the company and are concerned over restructuring efforts that may cause job cuts, despite shrinking market share for semiconductors.
Analyst sentiments surrounding STM have been hesitant about Samsung's involvement with the company. Bank of America commented on the most recent news that they were skeptical about the sale of the ST-E business to Samsung, believing that Samsung is more interested in 3G patents instead of 3G/4G modem technology.
In a recent report from Bank of America, analyst Simon Woo wrote, "we believe that if Samsung were interested indeed in acquiring baseband IP, they could easily achieve this through a licensing deal with ST-E. This however would not yield the revenue/profitability gain required for ST-E to become profitable. In fact, in our view, the news today would suggest that STM could convert the majority of its internal production to FD-SOI while using Samsung as a foundry for 28/32nm high-k-metal-gate (HKMG) production. We therefore doubt this is an indication that STM is about to close its Crolles 2 fab."
The analog business rumored to be splitting makes up the chips and sensors used in video game consoles and automobiles from the digital business, which focuses on handsets and televisions.
Shares of STM closed flat on Thursday and year to date are down 4.89 percent in addition to the 15 percent loss of share values since this time last year. As the company's market share continues to shrink, so do the number of options faced in regards to the business split.
Customers like Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) have contributed to the decline in business and loss in market share to competitors, and a sell off of the digital assets could help the company focus more on its analog business and help separate STM from being dragged down by negatively-pressed wireless solutions companies.

FALLBROOK – First Lieutenant Elizabeth "Betty" Gilby served in the Army during World War II in Algeria, North Africa, Italy, and Yugoslavia as a registered dietician in the Army Medical Department. She recently participated in the Fall San Diego Honor Flight, part of a national network dedicated to transporting veterans to visit their memorials in Washington, D.C., at no cost.
The General Federation of Women's Clubs International (GFWC) strives to honor veterans for their service, and proudly supports the Honor Flight Network. Fallbrook Woman's Club (FWC) was proud to have sixth vice-president Pam Hermansader act as guardian and escort their 97-year-old and 26-year member on this memorable trip.
On Sept. 29, all 80 veterans of the Fall Honor Flight met at the San Diego Airport for breakfast before boarding their charter flight to Baltimore, Md. On the flight, it was time for mail call, and each veteran was handed a basket of correspondences written to them by friends, family and the community.
Gilby received 90 pieces of mail that had been sent to her by members of FWC, Encore, AAUW, Fallbrook Art Association, her family, Girl Scouts and Brownies, and schoolchildren from all over the United States. She was surprised and highly impressed with the knowledge of the students who wrote to her with cards, letters, and poems. Gilby said that they wrote of their teachers impressing upon them the importance of these veterans or otherwise they would be living in a far different world and, probably, speaking a different language.
When the group arrived in Baltimore, they were greeted by airport personnel with cheers and waving flags. After checking into their hotel, they were welcomed with a banquet.
Early on Saturday morning, they arose to a cold rainstorm. They each had a poncho in their "goody bags" that helped to not dampen their spirits and they were divided into four groups of 20 and set out to see the memorials.
Betty's daughter, Elaine Gilby, who lives in Rockville, Md., was able to join her mother in Washington. They all visited the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, World War II Memorial, Women in Military Service for America Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Iwo Jima Memorial, Air Force Memorial, Navy Museum and Shipyard, and the Lincoln Memorial. It was a very busy day.
The Women in Military Service for America Memorial is at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, so the two women veterans in the group were taken there while the gentlemen went to the "Changing of the Guard" at Arlington. Brigadier General Wilma Vaught is a retired United States Air Force leader who was instrumental in the building of the memorial. Vaught was at the memorial and personally escorted them and showed them around. After the Women's Military Memorial, the women joined the men at Arlington.
When Gilby came home after the war ended, there was no one to meet the ship or greet the veterans. This was true for most of the veterans from WWII. When they all returned home to San Diego on Sunday, Oct. 2, they were greeted by almost 1,000 people who gave them a true hero's welcome. It was very moving with tears on both sides.
Welcoming Gilby home were FWC members LeNita Hague, Myrna Binford, Diane Jansen, Phyllis Audiss, Carol King and her husband, Wayne. Her granddaughter, Megan Gilby, and her boyfriend, Joseph, and her grandson, Tim Ciancio, and his girlfriend, Jacki, were also there to greet her. Everyone cheered, waved flags, shook hands, gave hugs, thanked them for their service and gave all the veterans a true welcome home.
Gilby was also interviewed by reporters from local news media KUSI, Fox, and CW. The interviews aired on the Sunday night news and Gilby felt like a celebrity.
"It was overwhelming," said Gilby of the experience. "It was unbelievable that so many people were here still honoring veterans from young to old. Young soldiers and marines were also there – and children."
At the November general meeting of the FWC, Bill Martes of the Honor Flight organization will be the guest speaker. Women in the Fallbrook area are welcome to come to the clubhouse, located at 238 W. Mission Road, Fallbrook, on Nov. 8, at 11 a.m. Contact Diane Jansen at (760) 723-3735 for further information.

"Mummy! I've found Harry Potter!"
Saturday 9th June 11am I'll be chatting about 'Weird Things....' at Waterstones in King's Lynn, so come along if you're in the area.
The Belfast Book Festival have released their timetable [over here]. I'll be doing an event for 'Weird Things...' at 3:30pm on Saturday 16th June hosted by Waterstones on Fountain Street. I'll be chatting about 'Weird Things...' and also reading poetry from my forthcoming collection. It's a free event, so come along :)
[If you can't make the events and would like a signed copy of the book then head over here]
1. This excellent comic strip of part of a Neil Gaiman speech.
2. 'We're fools whether we dance or not, so we may as well dance.'
3. A look at fifteen writers' bedrooms.
4. Imogen Heap's 'Love the Earth.' I saw her perform this at the Royal Albert Hall. She wrote the score, conducted the orchestra and sang along. She's a genius.
5. If you like short story writing, then check out this course run by Tom Vowler and Zoe Lambert.
6. Finally, I'd like to stuff my face with some of these. That is all.
