How It Works
Drexel Metals Inc did not invent the portable roll-former. We just made it credible by standing behind hundreds of regional manufacturers with support and peace of mind. The Drexel Metals Association of Regional Manufacturers provides machine owners everything they need to compete with the traditional fixed in place manufacturers. DM-ARM members are "armed" with the all of the engineering, warranties, technical know how, customer service and superior quality. However our panels can be made locally, eliminating the need for lead times and giving the control back to our members to deliver quality Drexel Metals Roof Systems on-demand! Drexel products are environmentally thought-conscious as we can ship twice as much material per truck, combine shipments for small quantities, and reduce packaging as the products are made in your local area and even at your jobsite.
Tools, Tools, and More Tools. The DM-ARM quality assurance program ensures proper manufacturing as well as traceability and accountability for our warranty programs. Our members are linked in as they have access to our marketing programs, quarterly webinars for business improvement,and their very own DM-ARM wiki.

often I experienced the following problem:
- Play a song and stop playing
- Quit MM and Start it again
- Now, play count is set to zero and last played is empty (of the selected song)
- Play another song and restart MM again
- playcount and last played are restored
But if you wouldn't change the song MM would take the reseted infos and update them. So, the play count would be 1 after the song has been played.
I noticed the problem in 3.0.2 and 3.0.3b1.
It doesn't occur always but very often on my machine.

- | Gold prices have been increasing for the past five years | + | Gold prices have been on the rise since 1999. |
StreetTRACKS Gold Trust (started in 2004) is an investment trust. The Trust holds gold and issues streetTRACKS Gold Shares in blocks of 100,000 Shares (Baskets) in exchange for deposits of gold and distributes gold in connection with redemptions of Baskets. The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of gold bullion. Originally, the details of buying, storing and insuring gold have made it difficult for most investors to enter the gold market on their own. StreetTRACKS Gold Trust solves this issue by creating securities that follow the gold market. The Trust is sponsored by World Gold Trust Services, LLC. HSBC Holdings (HBC) holds StreetTRACKS's gold.
The Trustee values the gold according to the most recent London PM Fix. The London Fix is a widely-recognized benchmark for gold and silver prices. It is announced twice each day: the AM fix occurs in New York City at 5am (10am in London), and the PM fix occurs in NYC at 10am (3pm in London). Once the gold has been accurately priced, the Trustee then subtracts all accrued but unpaid fees in order to arrive at an Adjusted Net Asset Value (ANAV). The Trustee then uses the ANAV to calculate GLD's fees (to the Trustee, the Sponsor, the Custodian and the Marketing Agent) to arrive at the Net Asset Value (NAV).
GLD's gain on gold and net gains have increased greatly since its inception on November 12, 2004. To date, GLD has received 23,391,238 ounces of gold. StreetTRACKS traded 4,724,800 ounces of gold in exchange for 476 baskets. Also, GLD sold 112,373 ounces of gold in order to pay expenses. It is important to note that GLD only sells gold to cover its costs, meaning the company always has zero cash balance--it does not have spare cash.
Gold prices have been on the rise since 1999.

With their billowing sails, towering masts and long wooden hulls, 19th century clipper ships were staggering feats of design -- and Europe's lifeline to the world's most exotic goods.
Laden with spices, teas and chocolates from across the globe, the use of these wind-powered sailing vessels reached its peak during the late 1800's, a period often referred to as the "Golden Age of Sail."
Abandoned in the advent of steamboats, the centuries-old transport is now enjoying a revival among cargo traders, with a new breed of merchant ships returning to wind power in an effort to promote environmentally sustainable trade.
This week, the 32-meter brigantine Tres Hombres set sail from the Netherlands to the Caribbean in an eight-month voyage transporting ale, wine, rum and chocolate -- much the same way as merchant ships would have done 150 years ago.
Named in honor of the three friends who founded the ambitious scheme, the 35-ton carbon-neutral vessel has no motor and relies on solar-powered fridges to keep its cargo cool.
"A lot of shipping companies are going bankrupt because fuel is so expensive," said one of the ship's founders and co-captain, Arjen van der Veen.
"The model we have now of shipping is unsustainable -- both for business and the environment. We chose a traditional rig because it's a beautiful design and we wanted to show people sailing can still be effective."
From its base in Den Helder in the Netherlands, Tres Hombres will head to Brixham in England where it will pick up 100,000 bottles of ale, delivering them to Douarnenez in France.
From there it will sail to ports across Europe and the Caribbean, transporting 500 liters of wine, 50,000 chocolate bars, 4,000 bottles of rum and 5-tons of cocoa beans in a round trip.
All the cargo is organic, making it eco-friendly from the moment it is produced to the moment it lands on the supermarket shelf, Van der Veen explained.
"The whole chain of production is sustainable," he said.
"For companies, it makes their goods unique. It's a little more expensive but people are willing to pay because it has no carbon footprint."
The Sail Transport Network (STN), a green travel campaign group, is now looking to create a sustainable transport certificate, much like the "Fair Trade" and "Organic" stamps found on other foods.
STN founder Jan Lundberg predicts that wind-powered cargo ships will soon be the norm as the world's fossil fuel supplies continue to diminish.
"The accelerating rate of change in the economy and finance, the peak oil factor and the climate crisis are all tipping factors. If more people sense this soon, you could see a jump in sail transport investment," he said.
"Many smaller older cargo vessels are idle today and are also being recycled -- these are realistic candidates for conversion to sail."
Recent figures show there is much at stake when it comes to sustainable transport on the high-seas. Around 90% of world trade is currently carried by the shipping industry, according to the International Maritime Organization.
The industry contributes 4% of global carbon emissions, United Nations figures show. Indeed, it says that if shipping were a country, it would be the sixth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.
But it could be that the winds of change are on the horizon. From January next year, new International Maritime Organization regulations will require shipping companies to cut emissions by 20% over the next seven years and a further 50% by 2050.
"By 2025 all new ships have to be 20% more efficient, so shipyards will also be compelled to produce more fuel-efficient vessels," Simon Bennett of the International Chamber of Shipping said.

Average Review: Number of reviews: 1 Redeyedtreefr0g from Longmont, CO Bright fun fabric I used this fabric to make a bright fun dress from Simplicity pattern 2155. I made the short jumper dress. It's a perfect light summery fabric. The picture doesn't do the lime justice- it is LIME bright. Fabric is easy to sew, wrinkles a bit when wearing, and fades slightly with use. Nothing major- but noticeable compared to a new unused bit of cloth. I did not need a lining, this fabric isn't see-through. |

I see some characters with pets. How do I get one?
There are two different types of pets: class pets and companion pets. The former you only get if you're a certain class: warlocks get demonic minions, hunters can train animals to be pets, death knights can get undead pets, and frost mages can get a water elemental as a pet. But I have a feeling you're talking about so-called companion pets. Companion pets are rewards for all sorts of things: achievements, quests, out-of-game events; some are even available for purchase with real money. The best way to find out how to get one is to figure out the companion you'd like to have first, and find out what you need to do to get it. To that end, the website WarcraftPets.com has a searchable database that gives all the details about the different companion pets. | |||||||||||||||||

Recipe by ALICKADOO
"Hearty beef, pasta, and kidney bean soup with diced tomatoes and garlic. Serve with fresh Italian bread for an easy, delicious weeknight meal."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 envelope dry vegetable soup mix
1 cup water
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
1/4 cup uncooked star-shaped pasta
I love this recipe. GREAT "car camping" food. I make the whole dish in the evening, eat about half of it, and then put the rest in my thermos for lunch the next day. I used mac-noodles instead of stars, as I couldn't find any--still great. And it's all small enough to get into--and back out of your thermos bottle.
This soup was a little too heavy on the tomatoes. It could have used more beans, vegetables, meat and pasta.
11 Ratings
This was delicious!! It was very easy and had tons of flavor. You could easily leave out the hamburger and it would be just as delicious and filling. Also, you could add more veggies if you like.
Very good soup. My parents and my husband all liked it, and it's not hard. I used ditalini pasta because I couldn't find the stars. I ended up adding two cans of tomato soup and water to give it more liquid.
This soup turned out perfectly. The funny thing is I had all these old hamburgers in my freezer that I had no intention of eating. Instead, I used them in this recipe. The soup was really good and I plan on making it again.
This was an overall good soup. I followed the recipe exactly, but added about a cup or so more of water. It had a mild flavor, and I thought my two kids would like it, but neither really ate it. I thought it was hearty, and would be great on a cold winter's night. I would probably make this again.
I used this recipe to get rid of some hamburgers I had in the freezer. Of course, I had to make do with the ingredients I had on hand, so I used onion soup mix, fresh tomatoes, and added some frozen veggies with the pasta (macaroni). Nevertheless, it turned out really great. I served it with warm naan. I can't wait to have the leftovers for my lunch tomorrow once the flavours really set in. Yum!
This recipe is easy, yet a nice change in pace for us. Everyone liked it! 3 year old and 1 year old suprisingly ate it up! This one is a keeper for our family!

The full UE version number is 126.96.36.1996 -- freshly installed on my new workstation.
Oddly, 1) UE reads the text file correctly if it has a .txt extension, but when I save it back to a .inp extension the 'first 50,000' behavior reappears, and 2) a 'Unix' version of this file (of similar size) with Unix style line terminations is read in its entirety, and displayed correctly in hex format.
Confirmed this 'first 50,000' behavior with several other text files, with both .inp and .log file extensions. File sizes are about 2.5MB, reading from a mapped network drive, using 64-bit Windows 7 on an Intel Xeon platform with 12GB onboard.
Any suggestions?

Sorry that I haven't got tell it to you.
it's okay.Originally Posted by Gernice
But what's the difference?
Paris Hilton's funeral... ...see me?
They have different actors and actresses and different TV-shows. Both is airing in HongKong but it are different TV-channels anyway.Originally Posted by oRaNgE_jUiCe
TVB because this is a TVB majority section. :P
atv ..i think its Asia Televison.. something like that... but i still like TVB !!!!!
bu bu jing xin
ATV series is hard to get in my place(because I think they don't distribute in VCD's yet, can't confirm)(should have ask my rental shop).. And beside, they mostly do those ancient costume types.
TVB = Television BroadcastsOriginally Posted by oRaNgE_jUiCe
ATV = Asia Television
For me, they each have their strengths.
TVB is the bigger and more powerful company, so they have the budgets to splash out on more expensive production costs and higher paid artistes.
However, ATV is compact enough for a very believeable chemistry to form between their leading stars and the dedication from their staff because they are closer to each other to the cause often shines through in the scripts and production.
This is not mean that ATV is very very bad but in honestly TVB is better because its series is maybe more interesting. Maybe a series what i have watch from ATV is Wan Tsu Ka Ka [:P I don't know what it is in English] but the series tell about one of china's old century.
oo cool i live in canada and i have sadelite i wonder how do i get those channels i have like vietnamese and american but not tvb or atv but i rent tvb movies from stores
i live in canada too and i have satellite too i guess it depends on which province u live in, because i can watch tvb shows on tv.
currently watching: None. Too busy to watch TV!
Er, TVB because I haven't watched/seen any T.V series on ATV.
TVB is better because they have a larger amount of stars than ATV. TVB also produces more series yearly due to their high budgets. I do not like ATV that much since most of their series are crying ones.
Both have their pros and cons but I will have to go with TVB.
i think that tvb is better because they have more series. i've only seen like 1 or 2 ATV series, and they werent that good.
currently watching: None. Too busy to watch TV!
the only atv series i watched so far is a dream named desire. i really like it a lot. but i am not 100 percent sure it was from atv. but i've watched a lot of tvb series.

TVB, because here in Canada, Fairchild (our main Cantonese channel) airs TVB during the primetime hours. There was a time (like 10 years ago) when they aired ATV during primetime hours but I guess not many people tuned in cuz within a few months, it was all TVB again. We get ATV shows too, but they're usually on weekends and I pretty much never watch them. My loyalty's with TVB.
I chose TVB, mainly because they have more actors and actresses compared to ATV, so they're able to produce more series with different people, unlike ATV series where you can almost see the same old cast in every series.
Both TVB and ATV has their own strong points though.
i watch tvb series on Fairchild too. i havent seen that many atv shows on. TVB is my fav
currently watching: None. Too busy to watch TV!

Gustav Mahler
Gustav Mahler
An Austrian conductor and composer of symphonies and lieder cycles whose most notable works include Das Lied von der Erde (1909) and Symphony No. 9 (1909). Mahler was known for the length, depth, and painful emotions of his works. He loved nature and life and, based on early childhood experiences, feared death (family deaths, a suicide, and a brutal rape he witnessed). This duality appears in almost all his compositions, especially in the Kindertotenlieder ("Songs on the Deaths of Children"), which are actually about the loss of an innocent view of life. Mahler's orchestral music is clear, complex, and full of musical imagery, from the heavenly to the banal (the family lived near a military barracks, so march tunes sometimes appear; an argument was associated with the sound of a hurdy-gurdy outside the window). The "program" in the incredible symphonies is therefore that of personal tragedy and hope projected onto a universal scale. The traumas of the 20th century are expressed in the Symphony No. 9 (especially the Adagio); the elusiveness of beauty and its loss among harshness and modern tragedies are the subjects of the first and fifth symphonies. Mahler discovered the verbal expression of this auditory imagery in poems translated from the Chinese of the T'ang dynasty; Das Lied von der Erde ("The Song of the Earth") was the musical result, expressing the transience of all things in a mixture of warmth and severe beauty. ~ Blue Gene Tyranny, Rovi

11/26/09: The winner of the Graze organic lunch bags is: school teacher Cynthia. I'll have another lunch-related give-away next week, so stay tuned.
Another day; another give-away. I told you there would be more from the SF Green Festival.
As my roommate at the BlogHer conference this past summer, Mindful Momma Micaela Preston brought me a cute organic cotton sandwich bag from Graze Organic. Unlike other sandwich and snack wraps, these bags contain no plastic coating or lining. Of course, you can't put anything seriously messy inside (unless you wrap it first in wax paper), but it was important to the founders of the company not to have their children's food in contact with plastic. In fact, the only plastic in the bags are the Velcro strips that keep them closed.
In addition to containing very little plastic, the bags are made from 100% organic cotton, hand silk screened with soy-based inks, and manufactured in the USA. And they contain words and brightly colored pictures of the foods that can go in each one.
Graze Organic produces cute cloth napkins as well.
So I was happy to see that Heather and Leslie, the founders of Graze Organic, had a booth at the Green Festival this year.
I asked them about their inspiration for creating the company and their feelings about plastic. This is what Leslie wrote back:
Hi Beth,
It was so nice to meet you as well!! We have been huge fans of your site for a couple of years now.
We would love to do a giveaway!! Sandwich, veggie & snack sounds great. I came across your site two years ago after I read an article in the Los Angeles Times about BPA. I have two children and immediately trashed all my tupperware. I then moved on to reading about plastic in landfills and how it affects our soil, water and oceans.The Great Garbage Patch still keeps me up at night!! About 2 1/2 years ago my friend Heather (we've known each other since our kids were in nursery school. They are now 12 yr. olds) were on the phone talking about how we despised packing plastic baggies in our kids lunches. We were packing twelve baggies a day (we have four kids between us) We literally designed the bags over the phone. Heather can sew, so she made up a bag out of muslin. I am a former pre school teacher, so I thought… why not write the words of the contents for early reading skills for younger children. I can't tell you how many people (to this day!!) say, "You should line them in plastic, so they are more useful." For us it has never been an option. We were spending the extra money to buy organic fruits and vegetables for our kids and then sticking them in PLASTIC!!!
It's been an amazing journey so far. We only launched our site in July and have gotten so much support!! People love what we're doing. You are our hero and we would be honored to have our name on your site. Can't wait. Let us know who wins and we will send a set off right away. Thanks for the opportunity, Beth!!
Warmest regards,
Heather & Leslie
graze™ organic/exit 14 mfg, LLCwww.grazeorganic.com
www.twitter.com/grazeorganicbecause every bag matters™
For a chance to win one set of three lunch bags with the words "Sandwich," "Veggie," and "Snack" printed on them, Leslie would like you to leave a comment letting her know what specific foods you would pack in each bag. How simple is that? I'll choose a winner by the middle of next week, and Graze Organic will ship your bags directly to you.
While we can't buy our way out of the environmental mess we have created, supporting companies that are trying to do the right thing is important. Please check out their site and let them know what you think.

New tripod, mug, and processing lol
Here's the new tripod (I've had the joystick ball head for three months now… and just saved the cash for the tripod lol)
My 24-70 lens mug got here too!!
Oh, and here's the new processing. See if you see a NUMBER of differences…
There are about a dozen differences between the pictures done in post processing to make the second picture POP more than the first. I'd outline it but it's a lengthy process lol. I'm sure I'll get to explanations later.
For now, enjoy the new pics

MORENO VALLEY - It's rather doubtful either Kaiser or Rancho Verde high schools will change much for Saturday night's 7 p.m. CIF-SS Central Division championship here in Riverside County.
Successful programs stick to what's worked in the past. It's just a matter of executing better in trying to impose one's will over the other.
Both schools have a history of doing just that.
Rancho Verde (10-3) is making its third straight appearance in the championship game and is the division's defending champion. The Mustangs beat Palm Springs, on the road, 35-16 last year.
In 2010, Colton denied Rancho Verde with a stunning 17-7 upset.
On the other hand, it's been a few years since the Cats (12-1) have been at this level. Kaiser won consecutive champions in 2002-03, after a title loss in 2001, and is a regular playoff entry.
The game will be a classic struggle between defense and a high-explosive offense.
Since its opening nearly a dozen years ago, defense has been the backbone of Kaiser's success, and 2012 is no different. In the three playoff games thus far, the Cats - second place team out of the Sunkist League - have surrendered 24 points in wins over Riverside North, Temescal Canyon and seconded-seeded Romoland Heritage, which avenged last year's semifinals defeat.
Contrastly, Rancho Verde, champions of the Inland Valley League and fourth-seeded, have rolled up the points, beginning with a 56-0 win over Chaffey and following it up with a 42-40 effort vs. Elsinore and a 35-28 decision last week over Menifee Paloma Valley..
"In a word, they're explosive," said Kaiser head coach Phil Zelaya, in his first title game appearance as a head coach, said in a quick scouting report of the Mustangs. "Not only are they a very, very well coached team, they are fast, aggressive and have the offense down.
"It's going to be a major challenge for us."
Zelaya's defense doesn't have a standout Division I-type player, rather counting on the team approach. But it's hard not to recognize linebacker Anthony Saenz, who set a school standard with 126 tackles.
"We're all about the team concept, that's what we emphasize," said Zelaya, who served with Dick Bruich at Fontana and Kaiser before taking over when Bruich retired. "That's how I was taught to approach the game."
Rancho Verde coach Pete Duffy is well aware of Kaiser and the Cats' reputation.
"They're really, really strong," Duffy said. "They're the best team in our division and they've been rolling; we're going to do our best to hang around."
Spoken like a veteran prep football coach.
The Mustangs have been hanging around all season, opening the season with successive losses to Elsinore and Heritage. The last loss by the Mustangs was Sept. 28 to Riverside Poly, which ended a league win streak of 30 games.
But again, don't expect the hosts to change.
"We're just gonna do what we always do," Duffy said. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Kaiser's last loss was a week later on Oct. 5 in the Sunkist opener against Summit. The Skyhawks finished the regular season 9-1 and entered the playoffs as the top-seed, only to knocked off by Paloma Valley.

Models Off-Duty at Paris Fashion Week
Karlie Kloss, Hanne Gaby, Aline Weber, Julia Nobis, Codie Young and more.
The model uniform of skinny pants and motorcycle jackets got a slight Parisian revamp for the last leg of fashion month. There was still fitted leather aplenty, but complemented by bursts of neon and flamboyant furs. Aline Weber and street style star Hanne Gaby Odiele brightened the mood in vibrant shades of turquoise, Karlie Kloss doubled the babe factor in double denim, and Cara Delevingne braved the Paris winter in a crop top (though she's still got nothing on Hanne Gaby going pantsless - that girl is not human). See our favourites here, also including Julia Nobis, Codie Young, Jourdan Dunn and Dempsey Stewart.
Also see what the models off-duty wore at Milan and London.

Marc St. Camille and Dr. Lou Moretti of It's Okay to be Single | Interview
Satisfied singles
One is not the loneliest number. At least according to Chicagoans Marc St. Camille, a hypnotherapist, and Dr. Lou Moretti, an emergency-room veteran. In It's Okay to Be Single (self-published), they say flying solo is the only way to go.
The book's questionnaire asks: "Do you wish your partner were dead?" If that's the case, don't you have bigger problems?
MSC: I've had clients tell me that unless their husband dies, they don't see how [the relationship] is going to end. Which is harsh, but it's not uncommon. There's a whole list of people who were perfectly normal, until they shot their spouse.
What's the lesson behind the films you recommend: Fatal Attraction, Dolores Claiborne, Sid and Nancy?
MSC: Beware: This is what could happen if things go really wrong.
What caused you to go the strictly single route?
LM: For me, it was more from observations in the ER. Have you ever heard of anyone attempting suicide because they're in a bad relationship or broken up? It's very common.
MSC: There are those people who are single and cannot be alone. But there are other ways of living. You can live like The Golden Girls.
Or like Bert and Ernie.
MSC: [Laughs] That's funny—Bert and Ernie.
It's Okay to be Single is available at itsokaytobesingle.com.

Solder-It Alu Paste No!
JRP3 wrote:He did, as I quoted:Solder-It Alu Paste No!
Actually, you can use normal motor oil or even cooking oil (like canola oil) when soldering aluminum. As was pointed out above the problem is that aluminum oxidizes within microseconds of exposure to the air and you want to keep this from happening. You need to immerse the aluminum in the oil and then clean it with a wire brush or something similar. Some people just keep brushing the aluminum with the soldering iron (or gun) tip while applying the solder. Of course, you MUST keep the aluminum, the soldering iron tip, and the solder within the layer of oil.
Now there is available solder with a special flux that can be used to solder aluminum. However, this is not always available. But, virtually everyone has some sort of suitable oil "handy" and that makes soldering aluminum relatively easy.
I remember that I have read someone has succeeded in soldering aluminium under oil bath.

On March 1, 2010, District Judge Rakoff issued an opinion in two federal cases concerning alleged misrepresentations in the solicitation of NASD shareholder votes necessary for the consolidation of the NASD and NYSE and formation of FINRA. In both cases, the defendants filed motions to dismiss arguing, among other things, that they were entitled to absolute immunity. In his opinion, Judge Rakoff agreed with the defendants stating:
Pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , 15 U. S .C. §§ 78a-7800 , the United States Securities and Exchange Commission is authorized to delegate certain regulatory functions to SROs, which are therefore considered 'quasi-governmental' bodies…. As a result , SROs and their offi cers are absolutely immune from private damages suits challenging official conduct performed within the scope of their regulatory functions.
Judge Rakoff concluded that "[i]t is patent that the consolidation that transferred NASD's and NYSE's regulatory powers to the resulting FINRA is, on its face, an exercise of the SROs' delegated regulatory functions and thus entitled to absolute immunity."
Standard Investment Chartered v. NASD, No. 07 Civ. 2014 (JSR) and Benchmark Financial Services, No. 08 Civ. 11193 (JSR) (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 1, 2010).

Well, it is.
I'm announcing 36×37 Assignment #23 Eve rather than Christmas Eve because you already know Christmas is on the horizon. Why would I tell you something you know I know you already know? One of these events is obviously more important than the other, and we both know which one that is.
Even so. Here's what's going to happen today:
- Make giant grocery list
- Drive to Market District and fill said grocery list
- Start cooking, and keep cooking—taking breaks only for church and Aunt Kathy's Giant Christmas Eve Feast—straight through to Christmas Dinner
I'm doing the whole thing myself. Not a single other pair of feet is welcome in my kitchen.
That's the assignment. Cook Christmas Dinner, '60s style.
Here's the thing: As a Mad Men fan, I tend to romanticize the 60s. It might have everything something to do with Don Draper. Or Joan and her fabulous sass, or Betty and her fabulous wardrobe. It might. Because that's the pretty surface of things.
But here's the other thing: Do you think Don Draper ever did the laundry? Or cleaned the bathrooms? Or sat on the floor for hours playing Legos with his kids? Or did any of the really incredible things my husband does to make sure we're equal partners in our marriage?
If you answered "yes" it's clear you've never seen the show. Because Don Draper would instead be out wooing some tripped out artist or foxy elementary school teacher or under-aged niece of the woman whose husband's identity he stole.
At any rate. I don't like to take things for granted. And since I've never tackled The Feast of the Year on my own before, I want to give it a try to remind myself how good I have it. Because maybe I'm a little bit spoiled. And maybe I'm looking for a way to say thank you to the people I love most. Just as importantly, my epicurean parents with their incredible cooking talents deserve a year off.
Come back Tuesday, when all the sordid details will await you. In the meantime, Happy Holidays to you and yours. May the greatness of the season bring joy to your heart, comfort to your spirit—and warm deliciousness to your belly.

Oscar-winning director Jackson ('The Lord of the Rings' trilogy) had previously demonstrated a penchant for capturing the eeriness of teenage murder in his 1994 'Heavenly Creatures,' but critics have not mustered up the same enthusiasm for his latest. Read the following review excerpts, and then let us know what you think. Peter Jackson co-wrote and directed 'The Lovely Bones,' the highly-anticipated adaptation of Alice Sebold's unsettling best-seller of a novel, which follows Susie Salmon (played by 'Atonement''s Saoirse Ronan), a 14-year-old who is brutally murdered on her way home from school one December day in 1973. Susie now watches and narrates from heaven as her friends and family (including parents played by Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz) grieve her death and try and track down her killer (creepily portrayed by Stanley Tucci).
Oscar-winning director Jackson ('The Lord of the Rings' trilogy) had previously demonstrated a penchant for capturing the eeriness of teenage murder in his 1994 'Heavenly Creatures,' but critics have not mustered up the same enthusiasm for his latest. Read the following review excerpts, and then let us know what you think.
The New York Times: "As a pictorial artifact 'The Lovely Bones' is gorgeous. It pulses and blooms and swells with bright hues and strange vistas. But it does not move. Or, rather, as it skitters and lurches from set piece to the next, papering the gaps with swirls of montage, it never achieves the delicate emotional coherence that would bring the story alive."
Entertainment Weekly: "Susie follows the narrative path set for her in the striking 2002 novel by Alice Sebold on which this much-awaited adaptation by Peter Jackson is based. But as directed by the lord of 'The Lord of the Rings' from a screenplay by Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens, his bleached Bones bears little resemblance to the book in either tone or complexity. Readers will be frustrated; newcomers to the story may wonder why what is now essentially a serial-killer thriller includes so many scenes of a heaven that looks like a gumdrop-colored hobbit shire, a magical place of fanciful special effects."
USA Today: "Some books are not meant to be adapted to the big screen. Alice Sebold's best-selling 'The Lovely Bones' falls into that category. The novel, told from the perspective of a murdered 14-year-old girl, is chilling and poetic. It can't have been easy to adapt because of its reliance on the musings of a dead, omniscient narrator. But a device that works on the page comes off artificial and emotionless on-screen. The movie strikes clashing tones, veering from lightheartedness to heavy-handedness."
The New Yorker: "Jackson has become an undisciplined fabulist: the movie is redundant and undramatic. Heaven is notoriously harder to make interesting than Hell, but Jackson has outdone other artists in cotton candy-there are luscious hills and dales, and gleaming lakes and fields of waving grain, and sugarplum fairies with music by Brian Eno rather than by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. 'The Lovely Bones' has been fashioned as a holiday family movie about murder and grief; it's a thoroughly queasy experience."
Associated Press: "Odd as it sounds, Peter Jackson needed to come down to Earth a bit more in 'The Lovely Bones,' his adaptation of Alice Sebold's best-seller about a murdered girl looking back on her life from beyond. The visionary filmmaker behind 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy still is in fantasyland, still in the grip of Middle-earth, and the film suffers for it as Jackson crafts lovely but ineffectual dreamscapes of the afterlife that eviscerate much of the human side of the story."
New York Observer: "...the New Zealand director's trademark recipe of fantasy, realism and computerized visual effects turns 'The Lovely Bones' into a thrilling adventure. I love the exquisite blend of chilling murder mystery, suspenseful crime story and domestic melodrama, and especially the way Mr. Jackson lets his imagination run barefoot through the flames to deal with very difficult material indeed. My heart was pounding in my throat from start to finish. Take a Valium. The suspense could kill you."
Variety: "There has been cautious optimism among longtime Jackson followers that this material might inspire him to create a worthy companion piece to his 1994 'Heavenly Creatures,' which similarly involves teenagers and murder in an otherwise tranquil setting .... Unfortunately, the massive success Jackson has enjoyed in the intervening years with his CGI-heavy 'The Lord of the Rings' saga (the source of which receives fleeting homage in a bookstore scene here) and 'King Kong' has infected the way he approaches this far more intimate tale."

A Myakka woman is in recovery after being struck by lightning at Falkner Farms Monday afternoon.
The woman, who is in her mid-20s, lives at Falkner Farms and was struck by lighting while in a field. The Myakka City Fire Department received the call for dispatch at 1:52 p.m.
The victim was flown by Bayflite helicopter to Tampa General Hospital, where she was treated for burns and trauma, Mykka City Fire Chief Dan Cacchiotti said.
Cacchiotti said the fire department has responded to numerous lightning strikes and their resulting brush fires over the last two weeks, but it has not responded to any lightning-related human injuries for about 10 years.
Cacchiotti encouraged individuals to take cover as soon as they see lightning because even if a storm is several miles away, you could be in danger.

Demolition crews tear down the 88-year-old Ridges Building 26. School officials said the building was an "attractive nuisance," especially to those drawn to it for its reputation as haunted.
ATHENS, Ohio — Preservationists lost a battle as a historic, and according to legend haunted, building on the campus of Ohio University began to fall to demolition crews this week.
Community members had fought to save the 88-year-old Ridges Building 26 on the grounds of the university. It was built as a tuberculosis ward to a historically significant state mental hospital that operated on the property for more than a century beginning in 1868.
Portions of the building have already been reduced to piles of rubble. The university said demolition is expected to continue through March.
The university decided to tear down the vacant structure because it had become an "attractive nuisance."
The building, deemed unsafe due to its deteriorating condition, attracted many trespassers and vandals — partly because of its local reputation for being haunted.
Some in the Athens community had fought to save the building, which was given to the university by the state in the 1980s along with other buildings from the former mental-health center that were collectively renamed the Ridges.
Ron Luce, executive director of the Athens County Historical Society and Museum, had pleaded with the university to come up with alternatives to demolition. He said he hopes city council will communicate with OU about preserving the other historic buildings that make up the Ridges.
"I'm sorry OU couldn't see the value of keeping this historic building," Luce said. "This is our community and we need to have a single vision for how we want it to be. We're not on the same page."

Award winning mystery and romantic suspense author of stories that chill the spine, warm the heart, and soothe the soul...all with a delightful touch of humor.
Mystery We Write: Day 3 and Lou Allin
It's day three of the Mystery We Write blog tour. I'm visiting Mary Martinez's blog. Leave a comment to win an ecopy of Frank, Incense and Muriel, book 1 of the Muriel Reeves Mysteries.
Now, onto my very special guest, Lou Allin. Lou is the author of the Belle Palmer mysteries set in Northern Ontario , ending with Memories are Murder. Now living on Vancouver Island with her border collies and mini-poodle, she is working on a new series where the rainforest meets the sea. On the Surface Die and She Felt No Pain feature RCMP Corporal, Holly Martin, in charge of a small detachment near Victoria . Lou also has written That Dog Won't Hunt, a novella in Orca's Raven Reads editions for adults with literacy issues. Her website is www.louallin.com and she may be reached at email@example.com.
Confessions of a Second-Rate Author by Lou Allin
I'm second rate, maybe even third. Feels good to admit it, like coming out of the closet. After ten books in eleven years, I'm still not making much money and probably never will. Do I have an excuse? Mais oui. I'm Canadian, published by small presses with tiny print runs. Case closed, as Patricia Cornwell would say. Crunch the numbers: Print run 2000, book $15.00, profit 10%. Even selling out won't finance a Mexican vacation. Neither do I have an agent, ticket to a large publisher with megabucks. No self-respecting agent would settle for 15% of my profits.
On the other hand, I write what I like. No pandering to the masses. Vampires, time-travel fantasy, serial killers, cats who talk, moo-cow-creamer-collector mysteries. I like a strong female lead, no gore or mutilation, plenty of action, a few eccentrics, and a clear sense of place, wilderness if possible. Urban settings are a best-forgotten part of my distant past. 1948 to 1977 was spent in bland Cleveland and Columbus , Ohio . The next thirty years perked up in the bush in Northern Ontario , where I was teaching in a community college. Finally I was paroled to Canada 's Caribbean , Vancouver Island .
But I'm a lucky lady. I have sweet pensions, and this is Canada , so health care is part of the package. But because of my cut-rate status, I have another secret. Every few months, when deadlines aren't pressing, I stoop to a very low form of entertainment. I read bad reviews of best-selling authors.
Don't get me wrong. I would never write a negative review. In fact, as the former VP of the BCYukon chapter of the Crime Writers of Canada, I clocked many supportive reviews for our members, especially new ones. Check Amazon.com and ca if you don't believe me. I'll eat my moose hat with velvet antlers if they don't make you want to run out and read the books.
Maybe this habit started with my own bad reviews. I've had a few stingers. "Mystery Fails to Excite" was one London , Ontario , newspaper headline. Someone else threatened to throw the book across the room if I mentioned one more local business. Hey, people in Sudbury , the Nickel Capital, loved that part. Here's another secret. The weight of a bad review carries about 100X the weight of a good one. It's a psychological axiom.
So whenever I feel a bit down, I can count on a wee smile to read what some disgruntled fan has to say about one of the greats. It's a short fix because after only a few, I start feeling sorry for the author, which makes no sense. Like Liberace, the author is crying all the way to the bank.
For most bestsellers, it's 99% possible to find a one-star review. Complaints about the book not arriving don't count. With 150-1000 reviews, even those predominantly five-star, there are always a few malcontents. So far, the only exception is Louise Penny. Out of her seven books, nothing but raves. Not one singleton star. May I mention that she's Canadian? Her well-deserved rise has been meteoric.
Let's get to the good stuff. These quotes involve both men and women authors. Don't expect any names. And I have gone the old Confidential route with XX and altered a few inconsequential words "to protect the innocent."
"XX might have been kinder if she/he had just murdered Y several books ago rather than to subject them to a slow and painful death." Now that's getting personal. An author identifies with a series character. Ever wonder why so many silverback males have nubile young girls falling into bed with them every other chapter?
"The people were flat, the plot tedious, the characters meaningless. " Don't hold back. How was the setting? Everything spelled ok?
"The same disappointing drivel." Short and pithy. At least the author is consistent.
"A conglomeration of events and choices that made no sense." That diction runs off the tongue, especially the last three spondees.
"How many times have we readers been given this boring pattern: The dead body of a young woman found…and 472 pages later finally we get to know who killed her? Something ideal for insomniacs." Did the reader expect to know in the beginning who dunnit? And remember, some people choose books according to weight.
"The author rips off every stereotype she can find." At least the author reads widely. And down deep, isn't everything a stereotype? There haven't been more than a dozen plots since the first storyteller sat down with her friends in a cave, making shadow plays and narrating them.
"Numbingly dull backstory, which brackets the one third in the middle where something actually happens." There's something nicely symmetrical about this plan.
"I would have given this book great reviews if someone had told me that it was written by an eighth grader." A very creative comparison.
"Mind-bendingly awful." Nice rhythm. There's a certain poetry to a bad review.
"Hideous, boring, and unbelievable." All that and heaven, too?
"It is all too easy to continue out of loyalty to buy garbage from once-inspired authors." Hey, at least the writer had the magic once.
Phew. I'm starting to sweat for these authors. But do they read these reviews? Not unless they are masochists. Why would they flagellate themselves because of the ignorant opinions of a few malcontents? The exceptions make the rule.
Maybe e-books will help. The $21 I made this month on Kindle is a new record. I could buy a sack of potatoes and technically claim to be self-supporting…if I lived under a bridge and got my clothes at Value Village . It's all in the perspective.
Excerpt from promo book: And on the Surface Die
The sea spread satiny glass across the sheltered bay. Amid lazy undulations, a blue heron rode his kelp-bed carpet and peered for minnows. White meringue clouds watched their reflections, overweighted galleons on a cerulean mirror floating towards the Olympic Mountains of Washington State. Up poked the mustachioed face of an acrobatic seal, which flipped in a lazy pose to warm its belly in the soft September sun. Deep below, a red rock crab found something to its liking. Soft tissue gave way as it inched along propelled by large nippers, using smaller chelipads close to the head to urge meaty delicacies into its eager maw. Then a fickle current swept the meal away, and the hapless crab dropped over a shelf to the deeper sea floor where it was seized by an opportune Dungeness cousin.
Trailing a frothy cloud of bubbles, a snorkeler angled down for a peek at a host of purple sea urchins. Carrying an underwater camera, he feathered his fins through the heavy tendrils of bull kelp, bulbous at one end, fat whips which bobbed on the tides until tossed ashore. The man paused to admire a cluster of whelks and a nervous school of sculpins, then took a few grab shots of a sea cucumber. A forest of leathery brown rockweed, clinging to the slippy basalt with its disc-like holdfasts, drifted into his path, then the dark crimson blades of Turkish towel seaweed. Carefully he pushed it aside, startling a juvenile octopus which had scuttled from a mollusk-mounded crevice. He checked his watch. Ten o'clock already. He should be getting back to the car. Monica was meeting him for brunch at Point No Point. With his appetite fueled by the cold water and exertion, he could almost taste their luscious cheese scones.
Then something large glided into his peripheral vision, and he turned, moving his legs to stabilize himself. Whales were seen around the island, but they didn't usually come so close to shore...unless they were sick or injured. A mane of yellow hair and a chalk-pale face with vacant light-blue eyes searched his like a diffident lover. Hands clutched at him. He coughed out his mouthpiece and surged to the surface with a silent scream, choking as he yanked off his mask and thrashed his fins as if a killer shark rode his tail. As he scrabbled onto the rocky shelf, his prize Canon scraped on the coral, cracking the lens.
At the end of the Mystery We Write blog tour a name will be randomly selected from those who've left comments and will receive a copy of Lou Allin's And on the Surface Die, the first in her Vancouver Island series. Be sure to leave your email address.

Topic: MKi9200 Suddenly Stopped Working
I have enjoyed using the MKi9200 since I purchased it in December 2009.
Earlier this week I encountered a few niggling problems so decided it was time to upgrade the software. Now 2 days later, after it had been working fine after the update, the unit wont power up. The stereo works and when I connect the unit to my PC my computer recognises that the unit has been attached. I am scratching head what to do next.
I am not technically minded but I would appreciate if you have any possible solutions you could share.
Many thanks.

21st-ranked Tigers win seventh straight
December 19, 2003
Greencastle, Ind. - DePauw, ranked 21st in Division III, improved to 7-1 on the season with a 67-50 win over visiting North Central College. The win was the seventh straight for the Tigers. The Cardinals dropped to 4-5 on the season.
A cool shooting first half by both teams resulted in a 24-24 deadlock before DePauw went on an 18-4 run to open the second half. Sarah Zondor scored eight of her game-high 22 points in the stretch. DePauw later led by as many as 24 on the way to the victory.
"We definitely played better in the second half," DePauw coach Kris Huffman said. "We were much more aggressive, but we need to play that both halves."
Zondor scored 16 of her 22 in the second half to lead DePauw, while Tria Yoder added 10. Amy Argetsinger grabbed 10 rebounds and Mandy Harrison dished out a career-best 11 assists in the victory. Danielle Tinkoff paced the Cardinals with 15 points and eight rebounds.
DePauw shot 43.8 percent for the game including 51.5 percent in the second half, while North Central shot 38.9 percent for the contest. DePauw held a 39-34 edge on the boards.
The Tiges return to action on Monday, December 22, when they host 9-2 Thomas More at 5:30 p.m. You can hear that game live on WGRE and view in-game stats here.

Funeral services were held recently for Sister of St. Joseph of Carondelet Joseph Adele Edwards, 78, who died Dec. 25. The longtime Mount St. Mary's College professor and administrator had been a Sister of St. Joseph of Carondelet for nearly 60 years.
Born in Texas but raised in Southern California, she entered the CSJs after graduating from St. Mary's Academy. She received her bachelor's degree from Mount St. Mary's College in 1958 and her secondary credential a few years later. Her first role at the Mount was as admissions director, which included recruitment travel and financial aid counseling.
By 1969, Sister Edwards had completed her master's in English at USC and, in September of 1970, she began a long career as an assistant professor of English, teaching primarily on her beloved Doheny campus. In addition to being a patient, tireless teacher of writing, she enjoyed crafting her own essays, articles and poetry and had a book of poems published. She loved parish life and made many friends during her 20 years in Visitation Church in Westchester.
Sister Edwards' administrative gifts were recognized in her later years at the college. She served for a year as interim dean of the Associate in Arts program and, when she finally said goodbye to teaching, was appointed baccalaureate dean on the Chalon campus. When she left that office, she started her last role at the Mount as volunteer tutor in the Learning Center.
Diagnosed with ALS, "she faced her illness with calm and courage," said a statement from the CSJ community. "She was deeply grateful for the loving care of the Holy Family staff and set up a schedule for herself of spiritual reading, rosary, prayer and the fellowship of her many visitors."
On Christmas Day, she watched the community Mass on her television and went quietly to God while the Sisters were singing the recessional hymn, "Joy to the World.
Fr. Camillus MacRory, OFM Cap
Funeral Mass was held Jan. 5 at Old Mission Santa Inés in Solvang for Capuchin Franciscan Father Camillus MacRory, 86, who died Dec. 25 after suffering from respiratory complications.
Born in Belfast, he was received as a Capuchin Franciscan in Rochestown, Ireland, in 1943, and was ordained a priest in Ard Mhuire, County Donegal, Ireland, in 1951. After teaching for a year at a Rochestown secondary school, he was sent to Northern California where he served as an associate pastor at Our Lady of Angels Church, Burlingame (1952-60).
For the next 18 years, he ministered as an associate pastor in Oregon and California, serving locally at Old Mission Santa Inés and at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Los Angeles' Silverlake area. He also served for a time as director of on-going education for the Western America Province, as a member of the Peace, Justice and Ecology Committee and as the national spiritual assistant for the Secular Franciscans.
In his last assignment, he returned to work as an associate pastor at Our Lady of Angels in Burlingame, where he also served as the parish's spiritual assistant to the Secular Franciscans. In addition, he would help out at Mater Dolorosa parish in South San Francisco, where he celebrated Mass. According to his fellow Capuchin Franciscans, Father MacRory was a courteous man with a sense of humor and wit who provided "a great example of prayer and fraternity."
