This is a guest article by Ginger, owner and curator of Girls Just Wanna Have Funds. She works as a psychotherapist with clients with whom money is a frequent topic.
When people think about financial freedom, most tend to think of it as this abstract state of being since it's something that has yet to be experienced. Often this tends to be the reason why people rarely understand what prevents them from getting to this place in their financial life.
This brings us to the question and discussion of your Achilles' heel. What prevents you from achieving your financial goals?
I often ask friends when talking about money goals, "Do you know what stops you from getting there? Do you want it badly enough?" Sometimes we're so mired in what makes us comfortable that we can't see past what it would mean to be successful in this area.
Success doesn't have to mean paying off all of your debt in one year. It can simply mean taking baby steps to reduce the amount of money you send eating out. Avoiding trips to Target. Reducing mindless shopping habits which only further the raging spending addiction preventing you from seeing into the financial promised land. Those are all my Achilles' heels, by the way.
How to identify your Achilles' heel
Where do you most regret the money you spend? My pastor often says a man's heart is where he spends his money (Luke 12:34). This rings true for me. When reviewing monthly transactions, I often saw where my money was going, as painful as it was to look at plainly in front of me. I kept saying to my self, "I spent what?!" There was a time when visiting Amazon.com and Target meant spending loads of money that I had no business spending.
Other financial transgressions meant spending more than I care to share eating out for no other reason than not wanting to cook that evening or choosing to eat instead of addressing how I was really feeling about a situation that upset me. The question I'd often asking myself is, "How did this help me towards my goals?" It didn't help, as I had nothing to show for it but an empty plate or an item that I'd soon forget about once it arrived on my doorstep.
One day it all clicked.
This has taken some time. I've been writing my blog about money for a few years now. I finally connected how destructive my spending habits were in relation to my stated financial goals. I was sabotaging myself without really understanding why.
This changed with a decision
The same pastor I mentioned above also speaks about how many of the changes we need to make in life start with a decision, one decision to change the behavior and continuing to make that decision to stick with it. This might not — and often doesn't — feel good, but if we're to get to where we need to be then yes, it's necessary.
Divorce yourself from your emotions
The pastor then goes on to tell us about the need to divorce ourselves from our emotions. And again, this rang true for me because shopping was almost like an addiction. I wasn't shopping for clothes but more so for little things I needed, but if you know Amazon.com, you know it racks up! If I felt the desire to go out and buy something, I did so with no real thought about the connection between the purchase and my goal. I just knew that by buying this this item, it filled some unmet need within me.
In psychology, we talk about food and substance abuse addictions in the same way. The same rings true here, when sabotaging success for a momentary feeling of pleasure or fulfillment that never lasts.
It's taken me some time to just decide not to visit Amazon.com. That was a huge victory for me since it's just so convenient. I work a considerable distance from my home so I don't really have the time go into stores, plus I don't like shopping on the ground. Amazon Prime makes this really easy for me. If I order by noon, I will usually get my purchase by the next day. The cost? $3.99, or free if I choose the two-day option. As you can see this can get out of hand if you're not careful. Now I add things to my cart and they stay there for weeks before making the purchase. My rule is to wait at least two weeks after adding something to the cart, and if I forget about it, I don't need it.
Target is another beast. I won't speculate about product placement marketing tactics in the store, because whatever they do in there works! I go in, and it never fails that I come out with way more than I need. As a result, I just don't go there unless I absolutely have to, and these days my trips there are few and far between.
Has it been hard? Yep! But am I getting closer to my goal? Yes, and that feels even better.
Taming your Achilles' heel will take introspection and honesty while making some hard decisions about how to change your spending habits. Deciding to take this on will be difficult but the results are worth it in the end.
To recap:
- Identify your "heart," where you spend most of your money.
- Decide to change your heart from reckless spending to whatever financial goal you have in mind.
- Engage in serious introspection about why you spend the way you do. Are there other psychological needs that spending temporarily meets?
- Divorce yourself from the emotions which enable you to rationalize and accept destructive spending habits.
What is your Achilles' heel, and how do you plan to tame it? Or have you tamed it?

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Singer Aimee Mann has a new song born of her experience riding out this week's superstorm in a Brooklyn hotel.
Called "Sandy" and sung to the tune of Barry Manilow's "Mandy," the humorous song cheered a storm-weary concert audience in New York's Westchester County on Thursday night. Many of the attendees found a warm room almost as inviting as the music.
She sang: "Oh Sandy, now we hate you as much as Osama, after Con Ed exploded. Oh Sandy, and Chris Christie is calling Obama, glad I already voted."
New Jersey's Republican Gov. Chris Christie praised President Barack Obama and toured storm damage with him earlier this week.
Mann, a California resident, was in the New York area for a week's worth of shows. Two had to be rescheduled because of the storm.

Another View -- Sheridan Brown: The science is clear: NH must ban lead fishing sinkers and jigs
The time has come for stronger laws to protect our loons - a threatened species - from toxic lead fishing tackle, as New Hampshire Senate Bill 89 proposes. Despite nearly three decades of educational outreach to encourage anglers' use of alternatives, lead fishing sinkers and jigs (hooks with a lead weight molded around them) remain by far the largest known cause of New Hampshire adult loon mortality.
When one considers the life cycle of the loon, the importance of protecting adult loons is clear. Loons are slow to breed and often require many years to produce even one or two chicks. For this reason, survival of adult loons is the most important factor in ensuring the continued viability of New Hampshire's small loon population. The loss of adult loons to lead sinkers and jigs - at least 124 between 1989 and 2011 - has had a significant negative impact upon our state's loons.
Decades of data gathered by the Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) clearly establish that nearly half (49 percent) of all documented New Hampshire adult loon deaths are caused by ingestion of lead sinkers and jigs weighing one ounce or less. To address this problem, SB 89 would extend our state's current ban on the sale and freshwater use of lead sinkers and jigs to cover jigs in the aforementioned weight range.
The American Sportfishing Association ("ASA"), an organization that represents tackle manufacturers' business interests, is opposing any restrictions on lead tackle. The ASA claims such laws are "unwarranted" because our loon population is growing - a shameful half-truth. New Hampshire's loon population has experienced meager and painfully slow population growth, which was made possible only by intensive management supported by extensive volunteer contributions. Without such efforts, any gains would be quickly reversed. Just 38 pieces of lead tackle erased six full seasons of work by LPC's volunteers to build and float loon nesting rafts.
ASA also dramatically overstates the cost of switching from lead by saying that alternatives "can" cost 20 times as much as lead tackle. In reality, a wide variety of non-lead tackle is available, it is comparable in cost to lead (sometimes less), and it performs as well or better. Unfortunately, anglers might never know it because ASA's misinformation discourages their exploration of alternatives to lead. An extensive list of non-lead tackle suppliers is available at www.loon.org.
Since the Senate recently passed SB 89 by a unanimous vote, ASA has gone so far as to claim that the bill will end all fishing. Similar histrionics were heard when our Legislature passed the first ban on lead sinkers and jigs in 1998. That bill led other northeastern states to enact similar bans and resulted in a dramatic increase in demand for affordable non-lead tackle.
It is a trend that may be beginning again - much to the ASA's dismay. The Massachusetts Fisheries and Wildlife Board voted unanimously to implement lead tackle restrictions similar to those in SB 89, and the Maine legislature is considering similar protections for loons. This is good news for loons, but undoubtedly troubling to the ASA because loon-killing lead tackle has higher profit margins than the non-toxic alternatives.
Alas, some of New Hampshire's bass fishing clubs, such as N.H. B.A.S.S. Federation Nation ("B.A.S.S. Nation"), are buying ASA's hype. Worse yet, these clubs have become openly hostile toward supporters of loon conservation. At its February meeting, B.A.S.S. Nation called SB 89 an attempt to drive bass anglers off the water "under the guise of protecting the loons." The club also discussed how members might challenge protection zones established around loon nests and gain access to fish in these highly sensitive areas.
Additionally, B.A.S.S. Nation has already hazed one manufacturer (and angler) with a boycott for appearing before the Senate to share his experience making a wide range of affordable non-lead tackle. For elite anglers in the clubs - the kind well-equipped with bass boats and hundreds of lures - the cost of investing in non-lead replacements for some of their tackle would be proportionate to the multitude they own. So, for them, providing facts about alternatives equals "selling out the bass fishing fraternity."
Many anglers have a strong conservation ethic and respect for wildlife. Unfortunately, if their support for SB 89 is drowned out by the lead tackle industry, only industry profits - not threatened loons - will be protected.

When Guatemalan prosecutor Allan Stowlinsky was kidnapped, murdered and decapitated two years ago, police there used investigative techniques learned from B.C. cops to catch his killers.
They seized cellphones and BlackBerrys from suspects in the notorious Zetas gang and managed to extract a video of Stowlinsky being dismembered.
That led to a successful prosecution last year of nine gang members in the case, who had left parts of Stowlinsky's body in black plastic bags outside government offices. His head was found in another bag at an outdoor market.
Guatemalan Attorney General Claudia Paz y Paz is in B.C. this week to highlight the successes of a special program where the Justice Education Society of B.C. and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit have worked with police in the gang-ravaged Central American country.
The 13-year-old exchange has had B.C. officers travel to Guatemala to instruct their counterparts in evidence gathering, crime scene preservation, major case management and specialized techniques like forensic video analysis, wiretaps and surveillance.
And the improved techniques have led to evidence that is being recognized by Guatemalan courts, Paz y Paz said in Surrey Thursday.
"Yes, it is being recognized by the courts," she said. "Forensic video analysis and wiretapping — we have had several examples with high-profile cases where those have been instrumental."
After a 36-year civil war ended in Guatemala in 1996, there was virtually no public confidence in the judicial system, where 95 per cent of cases went unsolved.
The JES got involved in 2000 by working with prosecutors, police and the judiciary to improve their ability to bring violent predators to justice.
"This is a daunting task given the explosive growth of organized crime in the country over this past 13 years," JES executive director Rick Craig said Thursday.
The work of the B.C. non-profit in Central America is featured in a new documentary called The Most Violent Place on Earth, an excerpt of which was shown Thursday as the CFSEU was presented with an award for its role in the program. The film highlights the success of the Stowlinsky prosecution and how important it was to show the Zetas and other gangs they can be held to account.
"We sent two messages: one for the Zetas to let them know that we were not afraid and that we were going after them, and one for the people who work with us to tell them that these types of cases were not going to be left unsolved," Guatemalan Secretary General Mynor Melgar said in the film.
Paz y Paz said prosecutors and police are still targeted by organized crime and must take extraordinary precautions.
"Our first thought is to watch out for the safety of the prosecutors who were carrying out their dangerous work," she said.
International relationships, like that her department has with B.C. agencies, are "really our best guarantee for our safety."
CFSEU acting Insp. Peter Jadis has travelled to Guatemala twice to give courses for police there.
He said it is gratifying to see the work paying off in improved prosecution rates.
"There is no better reward for our people and our organization to learn that the efforts being put forward as part of this initiative are having the desired effect and making a difference in Guatemala and the surrounding region," Jadis said.
"It is very brutal down there. We take our safety for granted up here."

CARACAS, Venezuela – Negotiators from Venezuela's government and the opposition agreed to broaden membership in a truth commission tasked with investigating who's to blame for 41 deaths tied to weeks of political unrest.
The compromise was announced following hours of negotiations that took place Tuesday night behind closed doors in what both sides described as a much-needed if torturous attempt at dialogue in a nation polarized by 15 years of socialist rule.
Heading into Tuesday's talks the government had insisted that any probing of the protests be led by Congress, which it dominates. But it partially met the opposition's demands for an independent commission by agreeing to include national figures trusted by both sides.
Talks that began last week are being sponsored by the Vatican as well as three South American nations.

WSJ: Showing Appreciation at the Office? No, Thanks
Wednesday, November 21st, 2012
By Sue Shellenbarger, Wall Street Journal, Nov. 20, 2012
Article with original artwork.
Don't expect a big thank-you at work this week. While people may express gratitude when they gather at Thanksgiving, showing appreciation is far from traditional at the office.
Research suggests that employees who feel appreciated are more productive and loyal. But that message hasn't reached many of those in charge. Some bosses are afraid employees will take advantage of them if they heap on the gratitude. Other managers believe in thank-yous but are nervous about appearing awkward or insincere—or embarrassing the employee they wish to praise.
A common attitude from the corner office is "We thank people around here: It's called a paycheck," says Bob Nelson, an employee-motivation consultant in San Diego.
The workplace ranks dead last among the places people express gratitude, from homes and neighborhoods to places of worship. Only 10% of adults say thanks to a colleague every day, and just 7% express gratitude daily to a boss, according to a survey this year of 2,007 people for the John Templeton Foundation of West Conshohocken, Pa., a nonprofit organization that sponsors research on creativity, gratitude, freedom and other topics.

Souhegan defies the odds, rallies past Goffstown for 74-65 winBy JIM FENNELL
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 21. 2012 10:23PM
AMHERST - There was a lot going against the Souhegan High boys' basketball team Friday night.
Two key players were injured, another sitting because he was late for practice the day before and a few new players were being asked to play extended minutes. This is how the Sabers were facing the task of stopping a two-game losing streak to start the season against a Goffstown team that had won its first two games.
Not exactly the most ideal circumstances.
Well, if you take stock in "big" December wins, this one certainly qualifies. The Sabers looked strong in the second half as they rallied past the Grizzlies for a 74-65 win.
Senior guard Brandon Len - who admitted he didn't start because he was late for practice - came off the bench to score 26 points for the Sabers (1-2), who were missing seniors Zach Simmonds (hamstring) and Tyler Ford (ankle) to injuries.
Souhegan coach Mike Heaney credited a makeshift starting five of Matt Segul, Tanner Kent, Matt Protzman, Josh Eichel and Jake Kennedy for keeping the Sabers close early.
"I really congratulated the guys who started the game," Heaney said. "They helped us win."
Not giving the gunning Grizzlies (2-1) too many open looks from beyond the 3-point stripe in the second half also helped,
Goffstown's Jake Mount (30 points) opened the game with one of his six 3-pointers, a typical tone setter for a team that likes to pull up from long distance even on the break. However, while the red-hot Mount was 6-for-11 from that distance, including one NBA-like bomb that put Goffstown ahead 30-23 midway through the second quarter, the rest of the team was 3-for-26.
Goffstown made four of 22 threes in the second half as Souhegan forced the Grizzlies to play catchup with a decisive 15-5 run in the third quarter to take the lead for good. It didn't help Tyler Barss, who scored seven points in the first quarter, then sat out most of the game after injuring his hip.
"When you're a 3-point shooting team and you don't shoot well, you're beat," Goffstown coach Justin Gorham said. "And we didn't stop the dribble."
While the Grizzlies didn't hesitate to look for the three in transition, Len and the Sabers made a straight line for the basket. Len scored 15 points in the second half, 12 on drives to the basket.
"It was an opportunity for me to score a lot," Len said.
While he certainly took advantage of that opportunity, he had help from others, including juniors AJ Hayes (seven points) and Brian Dworkin (12) and senior Trey Darrow (10), a transfer from Wisconsin.
Len said the team's 0-2 start was frustrating, but believes the team will keep getting better when Simmonds and Ford return and the new players feel more comfortable.
"There is always frustration when you lose, but nowhere near panic," Len said. "We're still a confident group."

|Condition or disease
|Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder
|Drug: tasimelteon
|Phase 3
Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder (N24HSWD) occurs when individuals are unable to synchronize their endogenous circadian pacemaker to the 24-hour light-dark cycle, and the timing of their circadian rhythm instead reflects the intrinsic period of their endogenous circadian pacemaker. As a result, the circadian rhythm of sleep-wake propensity in these individuals moves gradually later and later each day if there circadian period is > 24 hours and earlier and earlier is < 24 hours. These individuals will be able to sleep well at night when their sleep-wake propensity rhythm is approximately aligned with the 24-hour light-dark and social cycle. However, after a short time, the endogenous sleep-wake propensity rhythm and the 24-hour light-dark cycle will move out of synchrony with each other, and they may have difficulty falling asleep until well into the night. In addition to problems sleeping at the desired time, the subjects experience daytime sleepiness and daytime napping. As time progresses, the endogenous circadian rhythm of sleep-wake propensity in these individuals moves further and further away from the 24-hour light-dark cycle and gradually, these individuals are unable to sleep at night and as a result experience extreme sleepiness during the daytime hours and more frequent naps with a longer duration. Eventually, the sleep-wake time moves back into alignment with the social time for sleep and the individuals sleep well at night and have decreased daytime napping. The alignment between their endogenous circadian rhythms and the 24-hour day is temporary as they are continually drifting later and later each day.
The study is comprised of one 24-month treatment phase, as all subjects enrolled in the trial have already been diagnosed with N24HSWD. Frequency of study visits will depend on the subject's prior length of exposure to tasimelteon; accordingly, subjects will be assigned to one of two groups upon enrollment into the study. The short-term exposure group will consist of subjects for which it is possible at screening that they have been exposed to tasimelteon for less than 6 months. The long-term exposure group will consist of subjects who have more than 6 months of exposure to tasimelteon.
After completion of the 24-month treatment phase, subjects have the option to enroll into the optional open-label extension sub-study for an additional 52 weeks. Frequency of visits will be identical regardless of previous exposure (short term/long term).

Swedish startup Elsip launched its first product on October 2nd, the Data Management Engine [DME], which the company says "is a programmable and configurable synthesizable IP block that solves cache coherency, memory consistency, virtual address translation and dynamic memory allocation for distributed, private or shared memories in heterogeneous and homogeneous architectures."
I spoke with Elsip CEO Adam Edstrom at the Sophia Antipolis Microelectronics Forum in France on October 3rd. He told me Elsip is based on research out of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, in particular the work of professors Axel Jantsch, Ahmed Hemani, and Zhonghai Lu. The company was incorporated last year, but the patent-pending product has been many years in the making.
Per Edstrom: "The world is going to multicore, but many areas like robotics, embedded systems, and military systems are not using multicore because the demands of shared memory cannot be met. With DME, however, we are providing a scalable solution to the problems that occur when there are lots of cores on a chip, and lots of memory. The user assigns one DME per core and because the DME is programmable with application specific micro-code, when there are multiple kernels trying to access the same memory, problems do not arise."

"Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam." Judges 5:12
Suggested Further Reading: Psalm 108:1-5
Wake up, my love, for thou must strike the key-note and lead the strain. Awake and sing unto thy beloved a song touching thy well-beloved. Give unto him choice canticles, for he is the fairest among ten thousand, and the altogether lovely. Come forth then with thy richest music, and praise the name which is as ointment poured forth. Wake up, my hope, and join hands with thy sister—love; and sing of blessings yet to come. Sing of my dying hour, when he shall be with me on my couch. Sing of the rising morning, when my body shall leap from its tomb into its Saviour's arms! Sing of the expected advent, for which thou lookest with delight! And, O my soul, sing of that heaven which he has gone before to prepare for thee, "that where he is, there may his people be." Awake my love—awake my hope—and thou my faith, awake also! Love has the sweetest voice, hope can thrill forth the higher notes of the sacred scale; but thou, O faith—with thy deep resounding bass melody—thou must complete the song. Sing of the promise sure and certain. Rehearse the glories of the covenant ordered in all things, and sure. Rejoice in the sure mercies of David! Sing of the goodness which shall be known to thee in all thy trials yet to come. Sing of that blood which has sealed and ratified every word of God. Glory in that eternal faithfulness which cannot lie, and of that truth which cannot fail. And thou, my patience, utter thy gentle but most gladsome hymn. Sing today of how he helped thee to endure in sorrows' bitterest hour. Sing of the weary way along which he has borne thy feet, and brought thee at last to lie down in green pastures, beside the still waters.
For meditation: The songs of the Christian should arise from a thankful heart (Colossians 3:16) stirred up by the word of Christ.

There are all sorts of things I learned while pouring at the Wine Festival this weekend, but I'll get to those in another post this week. Right now I want to point you in the direction of a Wine Conference.
The American Wine Society (AWS) has announced the date and location of their annual conference. The 2010 conference will be right here in Cincinnati, at the downtown Hyatt, from November 11-13. This is pretty exciting, as the AWS conferences is pretty much for people who want to learn more about wine as opposed to just drinking it, if that makes sense.
AWS itself is fairly inexpensive to join – $62/year for a two-person membership. I admit I haven't attended any of the local AWS chapter events, mainly because my schedule and theirs just doesn't ever sync up. But if you want to attend the conference in the fall, it's worth putting out the $62 now and keeping up with the information.
AWS hasn't yet released costs or seminars, other than their standard WJCP. The WJCP is a three-year Wine Judge Training Program. They offer the 90-minute introductory course every year at the Conference. I suspect I've sat through the equivalent of this course every year when they train us for the Cincinnati competition judging.
Mark your calendars and I'll try to keep you updated as more information is released.

ECU sends 66 percent into primary care residencies

GREENVILLE, N.C. (Mar. 20, 2008) — Nearly two-thirds of the medical students graduating from East Carolina University this spring will enter primary care residencies.
Those are the results of the annual Match Day, celebrated today amid whoops and hugs at the Brody School of Medicine.
Of the 70 students participating in the match, 11, or 16 percent, are entering family medicine residencies, more than twice the national average of 7.6 percent. Twenty-one are entering some type of internal medicine residency. Nine students are entering pediatrics, and four are entering obstetrics and gynecology.
"I'm super-excited," said Erin Swanson, who is going to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston for a residency in OB/GYN. "It's a long road. I'm glad it's finally here."
Before they can provide direct patient care, U.S. medical school graduates are required to complete a three- to seven-year residency program accredited in a recognized medical specialty. Medical students at the nation's 125 medical schools learned their destinations Thursday.
The class of 2008 was accepted into institutions in 17 states in 17 specialties. The Brody School of Medicine and Pitt County Memorial Hospital will be home to 11 class members. Twenty-five graduates will stay in North Carolina.
Officials at Brody, which emphasizes primary care medicine, were pleased with the match results.
"We're very happy with the way things turned out with this class," said Dr. Virginia Hardy, senior associate dean of the Brody School of Medicine. "From day one, they've been very committed. We know they'll continue to make us proud and put Brody on the map."
The National Residency Match Program, a private, not-for-profit organization, provides a method for matching applicants for residency positions in the United States with residency programs at various teaching hospitals. Applicants and hospitals rank each other in order of preference, and a computer matches them based upon those rankings.
According to the NRMP, the number of available residency positions this year was the highest in match history. This year, 28,737 applicants vied for one of the 22,240 first-year residency positions available, the most ever. Of those, 15,206 of these applicants were U.S. medical school seniors. Other applicants included previous graduates of U.S. medical schools, U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen international medical graduates, and osteopathic doctors.

Salute! Student Veterans Volunteer for Flag Duty at CIU
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light …
By the dawn's early light, on a near-freezing morning in November, seven military veterans, most of them CIU students, filed out of the Columbia International University administration building and with resolution in their step, gathered at the CIU flagpole. It was the start of a new day of education from a biblical worldview at CIU, but not without these veterans first ceremoniously raising the flags of the United States of America and the state of South Carolina.
The new CIU ceremony was initiated by CIU staff member Gary Hartman who served in the U.S. Army as a musician. As the flag was raised and the other veterans saluted, Hartman played the National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" on the trumpet.
The raising of the flag used to be a daily duty of an employee of CIU's Physical Plant, but Hartman, who works in CIU's IT department, thought that more honor was due the flags and the nation and state they represent. So he began contacting CIU students who served in the military and asking for volunteers for the ceremony.
"Veterans have a passion to be involved in CIU and are looking for a way to give back to CIU in at least some small capacity," Hartman said.
Hartman was further encouraged by CIU's new and growing Chaplaincy program led by former Navy Chaplain Dr. Mike Langston, so he said adding the ceremony "only made sense."
Hartman says there are 75 military veterans enrolled at CIU and he has formed an email group with many of them.
Hartman served in the Army from 1976 to 1996, playing the trumpet in Army bands across the nation and at international locations, finishing his military career with the 282nd Army Victory Band at Fort Jackson in Columbia.
O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! – The Fourth Stanza of the "Star Spangled Banner"

The Best Way to Update Sony Drivers
There are a variety of typical alerts along with other messages which you may get in the driver upgrading process, many of which I've paraphrased and listed here along with advice on what to do:
QUESTION: So I have a Sony Vaio SVD11213CXB and the usb ports are not working. Optical 3 button mouses cannot connect nor can my USB both of which work on other computers. I have absolutely no idea what the problem is.
Although, I looked into device manager and found USB root hub xhcl had an exclamation mark next to it. It says that it cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver might be corrupted or missing. (Code 39). Once I try to update the driver for it it says the driver is up to date. Does this have anything to do with it?
I've also tried uninstalling all the usb extensions and rebooting. It did nothing (All the extensions came back even xhcl with the exclamation mark).
I really have no idea what to do and any help will be appreciated.
ANSWER: Possibly the driver is corrupted or the USB devices are busted. Let's isolate the issue. Kindly follow these steps:
- Power cycle - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, if the battery is not removable, remove all peripherals -> look for a battery off button on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds
- Reset BIOS
- Download the drivers for your Sony device.
- Run Vaio update and Windows update.
Method to Update Driver with Device Manager
1. Click Start button and right-click on Computer.
2. Click Manage.
3. Click Device Manager in left pane.
4. In Device Manager window, expand categories and locate the hardware that you want to update driver for. For instance, if you want to download a driver for Voice Recorder of "SONY SVD1121X9EB", find the related device. Then right-click on the device name and select Update Driver Software.
To update driver for SONY SVD1121X9EB using Windows Update.
You can check Windows Update any time to see if it's found updated drivers for your devices, especially if you recently installed a new device. Then, you can install the updated drivers. Here's how:
- Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
- In the left pane, click Check for updates. If there are any available updates, click the links to see more information about each update. Windows Update tells you if an update is important, recommended, or optional. Each type of update might include drivers for SONY SVD1121X9EB.
- On the Select the updates you want to install page, look for updates for your SONY SVD1121X9EB, select the check box for each driver that you want to install, and then click OK. There might not be any available driver updates.
- On the Windows Update page, click Install updates. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Windows Update will tell you if the updates were successfully installed.
That error still there? Don't Worry! Try DriverTuner
1. Click here to download DriverTuner and install it
2. Scan your PC for out-of-date drivers. Select the drivers(here you should select SONY SVD1121X9EB) which need to be updated and click download. Or you can just check SELECT ALL.

|Reds | Tony Cingrani recalled
Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:55:05 -0700
The Cincinnati Reds officially recalled SP Tony Cingrani from Triple-A Louisville for his start Thursday, April 18, and optioned RP Justin Freeman to Louisville in a corresponding move.
Fantasy Tip: Pick up Cingrani wherever he's available. He has enticing strikeout upside for as long as he stays in Cincy's starting rotation. There's a good chance he goes back to Louisville when Johnny Cueto (lat) returns, though, so this is likely a short-term opportunity.

|Reds | Johnny Cueto placed on DL
Mon, 15 Apr 2013 11:42:59 -0700
The Cincinnati Reds have placed SP Johnny Cueto (lat) on the 15-day disabled list because of a strained lat muscle. In a corresponding move, the team recalled P Justin Freeman from Triple-A Louisville.
Fantasy Tip: It is not known how long Cueto will miss, so owners should look to put him on their bench or disabled list while he is out. Freeman likely will not be an option unless an owner is desperate in an NL-only league. Owners that added Tony Cingrani over the weekend should hold on to him for now because he could be called up to make Cueto's next scheduled start.

Hoarders is an A&E reality television show that focuses on people that engage in compulsive hoarding. I watched the first four episodes and could not believe my eyes. There are people that collect things, store things and buy knick-knacks, and then there are hoarders. Hoarders are the extreme versions of those that like to collect and store things in their homes.
Some people hoard junk, others hoard clothes, food, and animals. Hoarders seem to come in all types. This is a reality television show and can be quite shocking at times so viewer discretion is advised. To see a sample of what this show is like, watch the advertisement for it on A&E below.

Family Discovery on eBay
I have written about my husband's grandfather, Rev. Christian Wismer Ruth being a pastor for the Church of the Nazarene.
While researching we found he wrote a number of books throughout his ministry. In fact several volumes are available on GoogleBooks.
Last year I began searching eBay with hopes of acquiring several editions. We have been fortunate enough to locate and obtain three different titles.
Our recent acquisition is the book entitled "Temptations Peculiar to the Sanctified" published in 1928.
After placing a bid I crossed fingers, toes and eyes. What a wonderful feeling when we won. Another family treasure obtained from eBay.
The seller listed the book in very good condition with little wear. Since the book was paperback I was worried there was possible damage done over the years.
When the book arrived it was in excellent condition.
Upon opening the pages we discovered a wonderful surprise. There we found this previously unseen photograph of C.W. Ruth.
Don't forget to check eBay and other auction sites for possible family treasures.
You never know what you will find.
12 comments:
Awesome that you have found these wonderful treasures.ReplyDelete
What a great find! I've heard amazing stories of finds there. I need to search it more!ReplyDelete
How did you find this on e-Bay? Do you have a Google alert for this name, or was it just chance that you found this the day you logged onto e-Bay?ReplyDelete
Oh, to have found something like this! I would have been in heaven! To couple a love of genealogy with a love of old books...too much for words! You have found a rare treat!ReplyDelete
I love searching on E-bay!!! Find things all the time. What I think is exciting about your find is that your Grandfather-in-law wrote books and you now will have them in your possession. It is like your Ancestor wants to be found.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the wonderful comments. Yes this is a true treasure!ReplyDelete
Heather, yes I have set up several Google Alerts to capture any new items added to eBay. So far I have three books by C.W. Ruth.
Oh, I need to do this. Thanks for the suggestion!ReplyDelete
How wonderful! I'd heard about Ebay as a resource but just thought it was too wide a net. Now I see that's certainly not the case. Congrats!ReplyDelete
Fabulous. I'll join the line of "those who are absolutely jealous, but happy for you!". And Heather that's a great way to use Google Alerts.ReplyDelete
What great finds for you, Ruth! I check ebay at least a couple times each month and also receive alerts based on specific surnames.ReplyDelete
How fabulous. I have an eBay search saved for several family surnames. Everything listed with that surname is sent to me in an email. I have purchased several books written by or about several family members including a wonderful, wonderful scrapbook about one chap who was an MP. This scrapbook was his original book, with copies of newspaper cuttings featuring his political career. You can see examples on my blog -search for the name Bowring.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on a truly awesome find! I can only imagine how thrilled you were! My parents belonged to the Church of the Nazarene when I was a young child -- we then moved to an area that did not have a church of that denomination, but they still attended their old church occasionally. One thing I remember quite distinctly is the emphasis on "saved and sanctified." Sanctification is a basic belief of the Nazarenes, and it refers to the work of the Holy Spirit within a person's life, eliminating sins and impurities and creating a state of holiness, even on earth. It is entirely fitting that Pastor Ruth wrote a book on the subject. No doubt he had preached on sanctification many, many times.ReplyDelete

Canberra have named a seven man bench for this weekends do or die clash against fellow strugglers, the North Queensland Cowboys. Canberra have reached desperation stakes for their game and if they lose, any remote chance of making the top eight will surely disappear. If Canberra are made of sterner stuff, and they assure us they are, a comprehensive victory here is the only acceptable outcome for what has been a horror season to date.

I loooooooove this belt. The kidos won't wear belts because it's too complicated. You cut out the fuss and made it cutie too! Love it. I'll be ordering one for everyone for Christmas please.ReplyDelete
I think this is a great idea. Have you thought of or tried fray-check for the ends of the webbing?ReplyDelete
One of the sentences I repeat to my bum-less boy is "Your buns/underwear are/is showing off!" That child's anatomy refuses to keep any kind of pants up, but his fingers and patience aren't ready for a belt with a traditional buckle yet. Thank you SO MUCH for the idea!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for leaving a comment! If you are asking a question and you do NOT have your profile linked to your email address, I will respond in the comment section, so just come back to check it later. Thanks!

Callisto Coordinated Update Sites
- 1 Purpose of this document
- 2 Use cases
- 3 Objectives and Constraints
- 4 Fundamentals
- 5 Web and User Interface Consistency
- 6 Planned Tests and Trial runs
- 7 Related Links for Further Reading
Purpose of this document
This page is to document processes and procedures for providing improved coordination of update sites provided by the many Eclipse Projects. It's focus is on the 10 or so projects as part of the Callisto simultaneious release but some of the information would be helpful to any Eclipse Project.
Note: as of this initial writing, this should be taken as a 'proposal', and as reviewed and discussed and improved by others will become a 'plan', and then, eventually, grow into a true "process and procedures" document.
This document was started because of a cross-project agreement reached at the December, 2005, EMO Architecture Council Meeting. There, through their representatives to the Architecture Council, the projects of the Callisto releaes agreed to improve the cross-project update experience. The agreement was that I (David williams) would coordinate the effort ... but the projects still had to do the work!
This document is in no way to "take over" any of the Eclipse base project Update Team's function, proposals, or responsibilities.
It is also 'not to add' to their responsibilities. The goal for Callisto release is to use and "push the limits" of the current capabilities and technologies of the Update Manager. Of course, bugs and feature requests may result, and that is fine, but I wanted to be clear this proposal is not for anything fundamentally new ... it is just to document what's already possible, and make sure it is coordinated and carried out with "best practices".
Use cases
There are 3 primary use cases that cross-project, coordinated update sites provide:
1. Allow end-users to install some minimum "platform" and from that be able to use Update Manager to install all of the Callisto release, just by going to just one update site and selecting just one thing.
2. Allow committers and developers to install an "SDK" version of Callisto, to be used while developing their own plugins.
3. Allow adopters to provide their own update sites, and "point to" appropriate sites to pick up prerequisite features. While there is nothing in this Callisto effort to support this directly, Callisto should serve as a good example of "best practices" for other projects to follow.
Objectives and Constraints
Besides promoting the use cases given above, there are other objectives and constraints to meet:
1. The distrubtion of Eclipse projects must fit in to its current "mirror system" to allow for distributed bandwidth.
2. There should be something of a "central site" that should make it easy to "get started" with "all" of Callisto. But, in the Eclipse spirit of allowing projects to "do their own thing" they should also have their own discovery (and update) sites as well. This allows the central "getting started" site to be one-size fits all, but still allow projects to offer special features such as tools, examples, etc., that may not be part of their "main' deliverables.
3. Some sites (corporations) can establish an "corporate" update site, which may have its own policies about what updates when, etc. The process and proceures here should do nothing to interfere with that capability.
Distributed Storage
Each project will still have its own disk space and area on Eclipse, and will still be responsible for providing jarred features and plugins there, as they would for their own update site.
Distributed Bandwidth
The features (and archive tags, if needed) will be specified using the new "find the closest mirror" luxury support provided by the Eclipse.org download.php script.
Issue: We (any volunteers?) should begin to collect approximate sizes and make rough estimates of required bandwidth for various scenerios, to make sure our mirroring system will suffice ... or if we should panic now!
Central Callisto Sites
Release Site
For the Callisto release, there will be one central "discovery" site, such as
This one site will have only two features, I propose. Each an "aggregate feature" that only includes other features (no actual code jars itself). One of the features will be the minimum "runtimes" that enables all the functionality of all 10 Callisto projects. The second would be the SDK version of all 10 projects (would include 'source', basic programming examples, etc.).
Issue: I expect this "all or nothing" aspect of the Callisto site to be the most controversial. We will certainly evaluate as we go, but suspect the major driving force will be community feedback. (That is, will Java users complain if they automatically get C++ related plugins, for example). We (the Eclipse Foundation, does, however, want to encourage use of projects, such as BIRT and TPTP, whose value is often not well understood, if not installed automatically, and made part of a seemless Eclipse experience). Some projects, such as "EMF" and "GEF" are, I believe, exclusively enabling technologies and should never be "visible" to an end user where they have to say they "want" to download EMF or GEF support.
Issue: We will have to ensure that all licenses are appropriate displayed by update manager, while using this only-a-few-aggregate features strategy. If not, we'll somehow have to come up with one big huge one that covers all aggregated features (yuck).
Milestone Site
For Callisto milestones and release candidates, there will be a seperate site
All projects must participate in these milestone and release updates. This requires that all projects begin to use qualified plugin versions.
Weekly Integration Update Sites
For those projects wishing to participate, there will be a site for integration builds:
Working Staging Area
Lastly, there will be a working directory of
that is used exclusively by central "Callisto developers" in the days or weeks ahead of the other update "releases" to test that the central features and site.xml is ready before they are copied over to the "public" sites.
Getting Started Download
There will be one ZIP provided (by the Eclipse Project), that corresponds to the minimum amount of Eclipse that enables the update manager to work. This is, literally, the Eclipse Platform ... NOT including JDT and PDE. This feature will have the Callisto site as its implanted discovery site. It will still have 'eclipse' as its update site as it comes from the Eclipse Project (the update site being where "fixes" can be obtained automatically by update manager). All other features, from all other projects, will have their own project's discovery and update sites implanted in their features, not the Callisto site). The few features available from the central Callisto site will have discovery sites for all 10 Callisto projects.
Web and User Interface Consistency
All update sites will have an "index" file, appropriate for viewing with a web browser ... and we need to work on giving this a consistent look.
All update sites will provide a "site.xml" file, with a consistent level of abstraction for seperatly installable features. (Remember, not literllay every feature provided by a project has to be "visible" to the udpate site user ... many can be "included" as being required by other features, and installed automatically when other features selected).
Planned Tests and Trial runs
During February, initial test versions will be created to download "all of Callisto" to see how it does, from several parts of the world. Its not expected these will be "usable" versions of Callisto.
By the end of the M5 period, there will be a usable version of Callisto available via update manager. (This is version that can be pointed to during Eclipse Con, as an example of what's coming).
After M5, there will be updates to the "milestone" site for each Release Candidate leading up to the release.
Note: after M5, projects that elect to use the weekly I-build site can do so. (This part will need some investigation, to be sure this is no extra work for anyone ... but the idea is that for developers that are building on top of other features, it's very handy to be able to update pre-reqs in a frequent, easy way).

Everyone knows what happened thirty-seven years ago when Bob Dylan fronted an electric band at the Newport Folk Festival, which is why August 3 saw 100 scribes from all over the country merging into a crowd of 10,000, inching by vehicle and foot through the narrow, tourist-choked streets of the former center of the triangle slave trade, now known for its wealthy "cottages," while others rode water ferries from the sailboats and powerboats anchored like ducklings around a mammoth cruise ship, sandwiched by the graceful suspension bridge connecting Newport to the mainland and Fort Adams. The pentagonal sandstone bastion with the recessed barred windows, built to protect Narragansett Bay in the nineteenth century, backed the big stage. At 5:30 pm, to a standing and expectant sea of sun-soaked bodies who'd been hearing Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" and "Rodeo" pumped over the PA, half an hour late but right on time, the short guy in the silver shirt and black suit with the fake beard and wig topped by a tall white Stetson bounded onstage with his four black-clad bandmates. A punchy acoustic string-band version of an old folk blues called "Roving Gambler" got started. At 61, Dylan had returned to the scene of the crime.
Or maybe he hadn't, and not just because of Heraclitus, with whom Dylan would surely agree about feet and the same river twice. For the assembled multitude who had come to the fabled rock where the prophet had stood and been dishonored, it was, as it should have been, an Event; they made the biggest one-day crowd the festival's had in years. For the enigmatic bard himself, his Cassandra streak and razor wit evident again after years of trying to banish or submerge them, his restless decades-long quest for something to believe in, in an implacable universe, transformed by his art into an uneven but awesome legacy crucial to American popular culture (forty-plus albums, 500-plus songs, 200 days a year of roadburn), back in Newport and gunning his rapid-fire way through the two-hour set of revamped classics and breaking out into a periodic smile like Mona Lisa with the highway blues, it's impossible to say. Is the shaman onstage for the umpteenth time more or less likely than we are to know or care what this specific moment is supposed to mean? Is it just another turn in the maze he runs outside the gates of Eden, looking for love, jubilation, transcendence, apocalypse, hope, death–an answer, an exit? How can you tell the dancer from the dance?
I'm only really myself when I'm onstage, Dylan has said.
As listeners snaked through the dozens of vendors' stands and past the stages, they brushed against everything from traditional hill tunes to country and rock and the confessional singer-songwriter mode that is now, after Dylan, usually thought of as folk music. One early act on the main stage rammed home a Led Zeppelin cover. It's far from the hallowed tale of 1965, where Dylan led musicians from the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the Blues Project, two early improvising rock groups, into a blistering version of "Like a Rolling Stone" that drew such furious booing they soon split the stage.
Myth can be more fun and sharper-sighted than history, and even, as Dylan the mythmaker knows, truer. Over the years, variant accounts of 1965 Newport have surfaced. The standard version ultimately comes from Pete Seeger, the keeper of the flame, who incessantly toured college campuses throughout the dark 1950s with the gospel of folk music learned from his father and Woody Guthrie, seeing it as the most valid expression of a truly popular culture: According to that take, the booing was loud, spontaneous and universal, as folk fans rejected Dylan's contemptuous noise, demanded a return to the authentic, socially aware sounds he'd made his folkie bones with, songs like "The Times They Are A-Changin'." But others have suggested that the booing came largely from backstage, from Seeger and his cohorts, shocked by what they saw as treason–or from fans complaining about the crummy sound system–or that there was no booing at all. Still others noted that Dylan had used electric instruments on his records; that on 1964's Another Side of Bob Dylan he abandoned overt political protest for Brechtian parables about tortured love and striated life, thus bolting from the mission Seeger saw as central to contemporary folk music; that "Like a Rolling Stone" was hitting the charts across America and AM radio was bending its sacred three-minute limit to air it; that you would have to have been deaf indeed to have been shocked by what Dylan was up to at Newport.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — A Tunisian court has convicted in absentia a pair of rappers for insulting the police and sentenced them to 21 months in prison for singing excerpts of an anti-police song at a concert, their defense lawyer said Monday.
Ghazi Mrabet said the trial was held Aug. 29 without his clients' knowledge and he was seeking a retrial while they remain in hiding.
Rapper Alaa Yacoub, known as Weld El 15, became notorious for his song Boulicia Kleb ("Police are dogs") and was convicted in June for insulting police and sentenced to two years in prison. After heavy criticism, a judge suspended the sentence a month later.
At the time Human Rights Watch slammed the verdict, describing it as part of a pattern of attacks on the freedom of speech in Tunisia.
At an Aug. 22 concert in the coastal town of Hammamet, fans begged Yacoub and fellow rapper Ahmed Ben Ahmed, known as Klay BBJ, to sing the anti-police song. They complied with a brief excerpt, said Mrabet.
Tunisia for decades was a brutal police state. Police remain widely distrusted even after the 2011 uprising that overthrew the country's longtime dictator.
After the concert, Mrabet said the two rappers were detained by police and roughed up before being questioned, adding that a doctor had certified Yacoub's injuries.

GOP criticizes Shaheen over gas taxBy Tim Buckland
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 09. 2014 8:47AM
A month-old article paraphrasing U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen as supporting a federal gas tax increase has her campaign suddenly facing Republican Party criticism that she is attempting to conceal her support for a tax hike with new denials.
On June 9, the Portsmouth Herald reported that Shaheen, while speaking to the Northeast Association of State Transportation Officials in Portsmouth, said that the increase may have to be part of a broader solution to fixing the country's infrastructure needs. The story did not quote her directly.
"Shaheen said she believes the solution is going to involve 'a whole variety' of moves, including raising the gas tax, which hasn't been increased since 1993, asking states to pay more of the burden and turning to the private sector for support," the story read.
Beginning July 2, the New Hampshire Republican Party and state conservative groups, including Americans for Prosperity and Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire, jumped on the story, saying Shaheen's comment comes as New Hampshire enacted its first gas tax increase since 1991.
The campaign of one of Shaheen's Republican opponents, former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, has also tweeted about the issue. Of the last 11 tweets sent by Brown campaign manager Colin Reed, nine have been about the gas tax and Shaheen.
"Senator Shaheen is trying to walk back her comments and hide her obvious support for more taxes," NHGOP chairman Jennifer Horn said in a statement.
For its part, Shaheen's campaign said the criticism is misplaced and inaccurate.
"Senator Shaheen has never voted for an increase in the federal gas tax, and does not support one," Shaheen campaign spokesman Harrell Kirstein said.
Kirstein pointed to an interview Shaheen gave to WMUR on July 1, one day before the GOP criticism began, in which she said: "I think we need to look at a whole range of possibilities. I don't think a hike in the gas taxes is going to fix this problem."
Kirstein also pointed out that Brown was quoted by the Fitchburg (Mass.) Sentinel and Enterprise during his unsuccessful 2012 campaign to keep his seat against current U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren that he would be open to raising the gas tax. Brown has also said several times he does not support an increase in the federal gas tax.
Howard Altschiller, executive editor of the Portsmouth Herald, said the Herald this month received requests from Shaheen's campaign asking the Herald to change the story because they believed it was inaccurate.
He said he reviewed reporter Deborah McDermott's typewritten notes, and said McDermott was sure about her reporting and that he believed the story was accurate.
"We stand by our reporter and our story," he said.
Kirstein confirmed that Shaheen's office reached out to the Herald to request a correction.
"We have been clear that Senator Shaheen does not support an increase in the federal gas tax," Kirstein said.

I just found out that many Universities has done this study by purposly feeding dogs and cats Raw egg whites to produce a biotin (vitamin B) deficiency. Do a search on yahoo or google for "Raw Eggs Avidin" and you can then make your own decision, but I love my dogs way too much to risk any health problems associated with Raw Foods. Salmonella is also another bacteria found in uncooked foods and I don't care to subject my dogs to these harmful bacterias. It's like playing Russian Rulette; first 5 eggs may not have it, but the sixth one will and off to the vets office with that easily preventable bill.
Anything that is certified organic does NOT have any hormones or anitbiotics of any kind.

Hello Pat,
Euk has worked great for "my" dogs. Through trial and error, I've found that my dogs have no allergies associated with dry kibble. I've tried Diamond, Nutro, and even Barf, but these brands along with a few more that I've tried will leave my dogs/puppies with pimples or bumps on the head or on their backs. I finally switched over to Euk and found that my dogs/puppies have never developed the pimples on their heads. All the brands mentioned has given my dogs nice and shiny coats, but Euk is the only one that has never caused my dogs to break out with pimples or bumps on their heads/ears/backs. Why? I don't know, but Euk works great for my dogs.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Intel Corp shares jumped more than 2 percent on Tuesday as the top chipmaker sold $6 billion in bonds to fund stock buybacks and other business activities.
Intel sold the bonds in a range of maturities from five years to 30 years, according to IFR, a Thomson Reuters unit.
The Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker said in a filing it plans to use proceeds of the debt sale for general corporate purposes and for stock buybacks under its existing share authorization.
"We believe the action should likely prove prudent given low debt borrowing costs," RBC analyst Doug Freedman said of the debt offer in a note to clients. "In our view the raise will likely support increased buybacks."
Intel's stock has dropped 18 percent over the past year as investors worried about slow PC sales and the company's failure to expand into mobile gadgets.
In the September quarter, Intel spent $1.165 billion on stock buybacks, bringing its repurchases so far in 2012 to $3.765 billion.
At the end of that quarter, Intel had another $6.3 billion available for share repurchases under its existing authorization.
Some investors have pointed to Intel's willingness to return cash to investors as a reason to own its stock. It paid $1.1 billion in dividends in the third quarter and its dividend yield stands at about 4.3 percent, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Intel shares rose 2.19 percent on Tuesday to settle at $19.97.
"The cost of money is relatively inexpensive and we have an excellent credit rating. It's sound financial planning," said Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy.

Salvador Perez knocked in three runs and Mike Moustakas went 3-for-4 with a solo homer as the Kansas City Royals posted a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals registered their second straight win to begin this three-game series after battering Justin Verlander for six runs -- five earned -- over the All-Star hurler's 5 2/3 innings of work.
Verlander (10-7) surrendered eight hits, none bigger than Moustakas' blast in the bottom of the fifth that snapped a 5-5 tie, and walked four to lose for only the third time in 18 lifetime decisions against Kansas City.
"We were fully aware we were [2-15] against Verlander," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "Our focus today was to go out and give him a tough game, and that's what we did."
Eric Hosmer added two hits and an RBI for the Royals, who improved to 5-2 against the AL Central-leading Tigers this season.
Jeremy Guthrie (9-7) overcame a rocky beginning to last six innings and collect the win despite allowing five runs and 10 hits. Four Kansas City relievers held Detroit scoreless the rest of the way, with Greg Holland stranding the tying run at second in the ninth to convert his 17th consecutive save chance.
Alex Avila and Victor Martinez each had three hits to pace the Tigers offensively, with Avila finishing with two RBI and Martinez driving in one run.
The Royals were faced with a 3-1 deficit after 2 1/2 innings, but reached a laboring Verlander for a pair of runs in both the third and fourth to move in front.
Verlander set down the initial two hitters of the bottom of the third before Hosmer singled and Billy Butler walked to bring up Perez, who drilled a fastball into the right-field corner for a double that plated both runners and tied the game.
More trouble came for Verlander in the fourth, as the Royals strung together three consecutive singles to load the bases with none out. Two batters later, Chris Getz beat out a potential inning-ending double-play grounder to send in the go-ahead run, and Verlander then walked Alex Gordon and Hosmer in succession to give Kansas City a 5-3 lead.
Detroit countered in the top of the fifth, helped out by Hosmer stumbling at the first-base bag on an Andy Dirks grounder that was ruled a hit and loaded the bases with two out. Avila followed with a sharp single off second baseman Elliot Johnson's glove that brought home Martinez and Jhonny Peralta to even the score.
The tie didn't last long, as Moustakas socked Verlander's 2-0 pitch into the visitor's bullpen in right to put the Royals back ahead by a 6-5 count.
"It was one of those things when you know you don't have it out there," Verlander said. "It was a constant battle."
Detroit threatened in the eighth, with an Avila single and pinch-hitter Don Kelly's walk against Aaron Crow putting two on with no one out and both runners advancing on Austin Jackson's sacrifice bunt. Crow beared down, however, getting both Torii Hunter and MLB batting leader Miguel Cabrera to ground out and keep it a one-run game.
Martinez just missed a home run with one out in the ninth, settling for a one- out double off the right-field wall, but Holland kept pinch-runner Hernan Perez at second to nail down his 24th save of the year.
Detroit mustered just two singles against Royals pitching during a 1-0 loss in Friday's series opener, but found greater success facing Guthrie early on.
Guthrie aided the Tigers' cause by walking two of the first three hitters he faced, then surrendered back-to-back RBI singles to Prince Fielder and Martinez that quickly staked Detroit to a 2-0 edge.
The Royals cut the margin in half during their portion of the opening inning, with Gordon working Verlander for a leadoff walk before advancing to third on a Butler single in front of a Perez sac fly.
Detroit swiftly regained a two-run advantage, however, when Avila doubled to begin the second and later came around on Hunter's deep fly ball to left.
Game Notes
The win was the 700th of Royals manager Ned Yost's career ... Verlander was dealt his first loss to Kansas City since a 5-1 setback at Kauffman Stadium on Sept. 9, 2009 ... Getz left the game after spraining his left knee while diving for a ground ball in the fifth inning ... Guthrie has won his last four starts against the Tigers held in Kansas City, where the Tigers are 3-8 over their last 11 visits ... The Royals have gone 10 straight games without committing an error, one shy of a team record ... Kansas City has won six of its last seven matchups decided by one run.

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
Marriages for gay couples will continue in Utah for the time being. A federal judge has denied a request to stay his own decision, a ruling he handed down last week. The judge ruled on Friday that Utah's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. From member station KUER in Salt Lake City, Terry Gildea reports.
TERRY GILDEA, BYLINE: At the Salt Lake County Clerk's office on Monday morning, Nathan Tanner and Jon Ayre exchanged vows.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: I know pronounce you married. You may kiss.
GILDEA: Both Tanner and Ayre are among more than 200 gay couples in Utah who have gotten married since last Friday when a federal judge overturned the state's law banning gay marriage. Nathan Tanner says it's something he thought would never happen in Utah.
NATHAN TANNER: I just feel - just a lot more whole. I'm complete. I just feel like a full citizen.
GILDEA: The attorney for the three gay couples who brought the lawsuit is Peggy Tomsic. She says Federal District Court Judge Robert Shelby is putting the rights of individuals above state law.
PEGGY TOMSIC: Fortunately, we have a judge who takes his oath of office seriously, which is to read, interpret and apply the United States Constitution and not be pressured by a moral or political majority.
GILDEA: But Tomsic understands the fight is not over. At the federal courthouse in downtown Salt Lake, attorneys for the state of Utah tried to convince Shelby to stop gay weddings so they could prepare an appeal to the 10th Circuit Court. But Shelby refused to the grant the stay. Immediately, state attorneys filed an emergency motion with the 10th Circuit to stop marriage licenses from being issued. However, weddings are still taking place. Attorney Philip Lott represents Utah. He says the state will continue to fight the ruling.
PHILIP LOTT: The state has concern not only for people that are against same-sex marriage. The state is also concerned about people that are entering into same-sex marriages that potentially could be declared void at some point in the future. And so it's a concern that applies to all citizens of the state of Utah.
GILDEA: The attorney who brought the lawsuit on behalf of three gay couples says she will file a motion opposing the state's emergency request. The ruling in Utah is particularly noteworthy because it's the home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The Mormon Church has put considerable resources into supporting laws that ban gay marriage, including California's Proposition 8. Meanwhile, county clerks across Utah are empowered to issue marriage licenses to gay couples for now. For NPR News, I'm Terry Gildea in Salt Lake City. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

THIS ARTICLE IS STILL IN PROGRESS - PLEASE SEND ANY FEEDBACK TO bmuskalla (at) eclipsesource.com
Besides a rich user interaction many applications need to display a big amount of data sets as diagrams or reports as part of their applications. In order to bridge the gap the BIRT project was created as part of the eclipse ecosystem. BIRT is an open source Eclipse-based reporting system that integrates with your Java/J2EE application to produce compelling reports. That BIRT integrates well with classic RCP applications is a well known fact. But the need for rich internet applications is still growing. And here the RAP comes into play. As a platform for developing Web 2.0 applications with the same patterns as for RCP it paves the way for single sourcing applications running on both platforms. In this talk we will show how to integrate diagrams and reports known from BIRT into RAP applications. Topics covered include how to setup the environment to let BIRT and RAP play well together. In addition we will give advices how to use the reports inside RAP applications and which problems may arise. As a final outcome of we will know everything to bring reporting capabilities into RAP applications.
The first thing we need to do is to mix up a target which contains both runtimes: RAP and BIRT. We need to download both runtimes first:
When merging the two runtimes together, we should be sure that no bundle is available twice as this results in same strange errors during runtime. So first step is to remove all the duplicate bundles. One thing we need to be sure about are the IBM ICU bundles. RAP provides them in version 4, the BIRT runtime needs them in version 3. So be sure that you include version 3 of the ICU bundles in order to get the constraints resolved for both runtimes.
