SEATTLE There were differing viewpoints on the merit of UFC on FOX 8's co-main event, though among those within the promotion, the most forceful opinion came afterward from UFC President Dana White.
Following the FOX-televised fight, which took place Saturday night at Seattle's KeyArena, White specifically took aim Jake Ellenberger's (29-7 MMA, 8-3 UFC) performance at the post-event press conference. But Rory MacDonald (15-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) didn't escape notice, either.
Welterweight MacDonald, who's ranked No. 6 in the USA Today Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA welterweight rankings, unanimously outpointed No. 3 Ellenberger in a fight expected to have title implications in the 170-pound division. But the two hardly engaged over 15 minutes and were booed for much of the fight's latter half.Quote:
"When you get these fights where guys talk s--t, those fights always suck," White said of the bout. "I think that for Ellenberger to go out and say [MacDonald] doesn't deserve to be in the top-10 and then not go out and try to prove that he doesn't belong in the top-10...Ellenberger literally did nothing.
"And in my opinion, Rory didn't do anything to try and finish him and put a stamp on it and make a statement, not only to the world, but to the guys that are in the division."
Prior to the bout, the two built the fight into something of a grudge match by sparring on Twitter. Ellenberger, in particular, was particularly vocal in attacking MacDonald's credentials.
But, as White complained, his "punch stats were almost zero."
MacDonald defended his performance by saying he took the opening that Ellenberger offered, which in this case was a jab he persistently used to score during the three-round fight.
As for the boos that showered the cage, the 24-year-old fighter said he wasn't paying attention.Quote:
"I think I did exactly what I was supposed to do," MacDonald told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I kept up my end, and he's a counter-puncher, and a very powerful puncher. I was waiting for my opportunities."
On the other side of the podium, Ellenberger was almost beside himself with disappointment.Quote:
"I was focused on the task at hand, and I was waiting for the knockout to come," MacDonald said. "I was being patient. I think I did the right thing. I wasn't rushing in like a fool or an amateur fighter. Sometimes, knockouts take a little bit of time. You've got to let it happen. I wasn't forcing anything. Unfortunately, I ran out of time."
At the press conference, White declined to say where MacDonald's win puts him on the welterweight ladder, noting that a pair of upcoming fights (champ Georges St-Pierre vs. Johny Hendricks and Martin Kampmann vs. Carlos Condit) needed to play out before the promotion maps out a plan.Quote:
"It just wasn't my night," he said. "I didn't pull the trigger. I really have nothing to add. I'll leave it at that.
"I respect the fact that so much strategy goes into a fight. Rory's been very respectful to me. But like I said, I'm just very disappointed in myself."
Afterward, he maintained that MacDonald remains one of the best fighters in the world. But he made it clear that the fighter has some work to do to restore his standing.
Ultimately, White said he hoped that the fight served as a learning experience for MacDonald.Quote:
"He went out and bulled B.J. (Penn) because he knew he could," White said. "He didn't try to bully Ellenberger. Don't come in and say my fight was great and technical and I belong in the top-10 and all this s--t, and don't go in there and try to perform. I don't think he performed. I don't think he did anything. He threw a few jabs and some front kicks.
"I don't think he moves down the ladder, but do you think anybody's screaming to see him fight again? Unfortunately, we live in a business where you're as good as your last fight. That kid's in a tough enough position as it is. He trains in Georges St-Pierre's hometown, where he trains, and everything is Georges St-Pierre this, Georges St-Pierre that, and the kid has to walk around and say he doesn't want to fight Georges St-Pierre when we all f---ing know he wants to fight Georges St-Pierre. But why would he go beating his chest saying he wants to fight Georges St-Pierre when that fight isn't even close to happening yet.
"But tonight was the night. Tonight was an important night that everybody was excited for, and yes, I understand that sometimes you know you're fighting somebody dangerous. F---king Ellenberger just sat there f---king two feet away from me and said, 'That wasn't me tonight, I wasn't myself.' So if you're Rory, and you're that f---king good and talented, then you imposed your will on him and show the rest of the world, not only do I belong in the top-five, I should be fighting Georges St-Pierre."
"(UFC executive) Lorenzo (Fertitta) texted me and said, 'This is terrible.' I texted him back and said, 'Ellenberger's freezing. He froze tonight. I don't know why, but he did. And when he froze, Rory did nothing."
"You don't want to put on a bunch of performances like that," he said. "It's not good for anybody. It's not good for him, it's not good for us, it's not good for the sport. Not good for FOX. Definitely not good for pay-per-view."

Google announces intent to acquire Motorola Mobility and what this means for IBM Mobile Enterprise Services
Chris Pepin 110000H1GN firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  google motorola | 0 Comments | 695 Visits
Last week, Google announced its intentions to acquire Motorola Mobility which provides smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes and other home devices. Motorola Solutions delivers a variety of rugged devices and services and is not part of the acqu
Rugged Devices - Still a "Must Have" for your Enterprise?
Chris Pepin 110000H1GN email@example.com | | Tags:  rugged mobile | 0 Comments | 728 Visits
Open any magazine, watch any TV program, listen to any advertising, observe any office workers, travel on a train, look at the young coming out of school/college : What sort of mobile devices do you see?
• Blackberries YES ;
• Smartphone YES ;
• Tablet devices YES and growing ;
• Ruggedized mobile devices (handheld computers, laptops, tablets): Surely not?
Is there still a need for rugged devices – particularly in your enterprise – given your CFO will tell you the other more exciting devices can be half the price. It's simple : out with the old and in with the new: yet just before jumping - it may be worth using a different measure.
Does it matter what device my employees are seen with?
Yes – or does it?
If you are working face to face with your customers and want to present a good image why not use a sleek Smartphone or tablet device – why would you want to go with a more clunky and ugly rugged device. And buy these devices with a lower purchase price means that I can even equip my teams with more than one maybe a Smartphone and a Tablet …. Surely this is the key point and the debate is over…….
But what if my mobile workers are service engineers, delivery workers, meter readers, Funfair workers, construction workers, parking wardens ….. now is image as important a consideration as capability and longevity of life?
As we move outdoors perhaps other considerations are a more relevant Must Have device……
Does in matter what environment my employees operate in?
Yes it does
If you are outdoors in a rugged environment : Wet, Dusty, Bright Sunlight, Cold Frosty morning : You need to consider robustness – remember many tablets and Smartphones today are engineered for consumers and don't offer appropriate levels of security and durability or the functionality needed for business use
Also what if I drop my device will it bounce?
Here rugged devices have a place …. They are shipped with IP Ratings, can be manufactured to operate in safe environments (Zone 0), whilst device manufacturers just love to talk about drop height tests (a whole topic by itself) ….
So perhaps there are environments where a rugged device is a Must Have device…….
Corporate Liability?
What does this mean ……
More and more companies now encourage employees to bring their own device – bring their own rugged device … not so likely. Yet this is where the price differential could assist. Consider rugged devices as corporate liable devices, they look the same, feel the same, operate in the same way and don't have a picture of the holiday home on them, Now e can share devices across shifts / employees / premises : its not your device it's the companies. An ugly rugged device supports corporate liability ….
And don't forget if it's your and not mine will my behaviour alter – easier to protect a rugged device from dropping off a Fork Lift truck than it is a Smartphone…. and your health and asftey officer will let your Fork Lift driver wear his device …….
TCO & Device Stability Important ?
Yes in your enterprise absolutely
We have already considered a Smartphone is cheaper – but is it. What life can you get from your Smartphone, will the particular manufacturers derivation of Android be supported in 2 years time let alone will the application still run: and that assumes the device isn't scratched or damaged ….
So whilst up front costs can appear lower, consider the broader TCO measure and again don't automatically discount that stable rugged device.
Not so easy then??
Its comfortable sitting on my fence, but it does appear to me that whilst there is an undoubted take-up of Smartphone and tablet devices into the enterprise, there am still a need for rugged devices supporting specific user requirements, environments and delivering stable TCO and stability. Probably the future lies in mixed deployments now I have the challenge of managing such an estate from a single platform – but that's for another day:
Now what do you think…… ?

"For many years now, IBM has recognized that "Online collaboration platforms are fundamentally changing the way IBMers work and engage with each other, clients and partners. IBM is increasingly exploring how online discourse through social computing can empower IBMers as global professionals, innovators and citizens. These individual interactions represent a new model: not mass communications, but masses of communicators. Through these interactions, IBM's greatest asset--the expertise of its employees--can be shared with clients, shareholders, and the communities in which it operates."

It is very much in IBM's interest—and, we believe, in each IBMer's own—to be aware of and participate in this sphere of information, interaction and idea exchange. Within Mobile Enterprise Services, we are seeking to embrace the challenge through this blog and the following social media sites:

four. I declare a rose hill war. Well, not really. I am going to let my friends choose among themselves. The top three are made with Classic Elites Portland tweed, left over from the Christmas sweaters. The bottom one is made out of Classic Elite's Skye tweed, left over from last years sweaters. If you recall, I mentioned that Portland tweed replaced Skye tweed.
I have seven balls left from last years sweaters. I know I will not get around to using them. (I'm sticking true to Portland tweed. It is so nice.) If you would like a ball, or two, leave me a comment, and then shoot on over and e-mail me with your address. (My address is in the sidebar. This isn't a drawing. Just a giveaway to the first people who want them.) I will pop it in the mail, and you can make yourself or someone a hat. Well, you don't have to use it to make a hat.........but they are pretty darn cute.

we "don't ask, don't tell" when it comes to prices of sacred relics that have seen real action. (ie a three day carbine class-LOL)
ya have to send in a credit application and if the credit score is good then we can talk terms.
we do accept colts, sabres, FNs and HKs as trade ins. we do not accept "lesser" ar-15s or any type / make of AKs!!
we charge a small fee for looking at the credit application--
we may have a sale on "like new, never fired and only dropped once" from teenage mall-ninjas that deserted their post at the carbine class.
these will have to be disinfected and washed with virgin holy water at the ninja shrine before sale--
then blessed by the holy ar-15 monks--- for a small fee--LOL

Proprietary Social Business Software and Its Dirty Little Secrets
by Tim Bertrand
I love it when, for the third time in the past week, we get off the phone with a customer of our Social Business Software (SBS) competitor, Jive Software, and we hear that they are playing the same games that Enterprise software companies have played for the last thirty years:
- Everything is a "customization"
- Customizations cost lots of money
- Organizations need to rely on the company or its partners to perform customizations
- The (already) proprietary instance of the software becomes to customized, it costs even more when it comes time to migrate to a new release
- Repeat and start the vicious cycle all over again
I also love it when these organizations talk about the "total cost of ownership" of an Open Source solution being higher, due to exorbitant professional services fees needed to get an Open Source platform implemented and deployed. Guess what? We heard from one customer today that the comparative cost to upgrade and "customize" their current SBS platform was nearly THREE TIMES the cost of implementing a brand new, shiny Social Business site using Drupal Commons. Even better, when they need to add features to their new Drupal Commons community site, in many cases they won't need to pay a dime because there are thousands of freely available modules available for prime time usage via Drupal.org.
Drupal is quickly becoming to organizations like Jive what JBOSS was to BEA or what MySql was to Oracle (before Oracle threw in the towel and bought the company). We will appear on the scene from the bottom up, sideways, and eventually from the top down - and soon, we'll be competing head to head in not 2 out of every 10 deals, but 7 out of every 10 Social Business Software deals - and we'll win our fair share.
We'll be announcing some very exciting Drupal Commons wins over the coming weeks on Acquia.com and via Dries' blog. Watch this space...
honestly speaking i dont like durpal i guess wordpress,dolphin,joomla is still the best and at the top ranks.
Care to actually list some valid criticisms with "Durpal" in comparison to the other CMS's you mention?
Hope you upgrade Drupal Common to D7 soon enough
Hi, Farnoud -
Drupal Commons has a very large number of community contributed modules in it, so for the most part we're dependent on when the maintainers of those modules have a production-level release of their modules for D7. You can find a list of all the modules in Commons on the community site for Commons, along with the D7 status of those modules.
My gut-level guess says we won't see the last of those modules upgraded to D7 until after mid-summer. Once we start to see a critical mass done, we'll get started on the D7 move, and try to pitch in and fill any remaining incomplete modules.
One key element is that Organic Groups has had a complete rewrite for D7. We haven't yet tested to see how much has changed, or how much work would need done. We're thinking it all looks ok, but that's a big dependency.
It would be nice to learn how Drupal might be integrated with a traditional JSR-168 enterprise portal environment.
Hi Lee.
Would you care to elaborate on what the nature of the integration might be? For example, are you trying to use Drupal to create a portlet? Is is sitting outside the portal and interacting with the applications via web services? Any additional information you could provide would help with your inquiry.
At this point in time, I'm not sure because the organization I work with hasn't actually made a decision about acquiring a portal, much less worked out the various integration scenarios, but there's an assumption, at least in some parts, that we will have an internal web portal in the forseeable future.
So when the subject of web technologies comes up, there are people who say that we should only look at Java products that comply with portal standards. I'd love to hear of some cases where organizations are successfully using Drupal and a portal together successfully.
In other words, we might never actually get around to getting the portal, but just the thought that we *might* creates a degree of uncertainty that raises a barrier to adopting open source products like Drupal for other work.
Leaving aside the actual function of Standards, the underlying need for standards arises from the need to solve specific problems. Drupal / open source solves the same problems - just in a different way.
- Code re-use for enhancing functionality. The JSR's let you plug in extensions to a portlet container to add functionality. Drupal solves this through "de-facto" (vs. defined) standards - there are already over 7,000+ plug-in modules to extend Drupal. How many portlets can you find? Drupal solves the problem through success, not arbitrary standards.
- Avoiding lock-in (of data). Portlets attempt to make sure the portlet can get at underlying data in flexible ways to avoid locking owners away from their data. Drupal solves this problem by not hiding the data in the first place. Since Drupal is open source, and its data all lives in an open database, there's no lock-in problem to solve.
There are more reasons, but demonstrates the way to think about the question; look at the business problems portlets are trying to solve, and see how Drupal solves the same problem. For the most part, you'll find that open source Drupal will trump the Portlet-standards approach, both in function and result.
(You can also argue that the folks pushing to look only at Java products with standards are Java bigots. But this is a wrong approach to take; making a personal judgement like that doesn't win - even though it's true. :-)

LAS CRUCES – The NM State athletic department announced a mini ticket plan for NM State men's basketball.
NM State is coming off back-to-back WAC championships and NCAA Tournament appearances and has been predicted to make it three in a row. Season tickets start at just $70, but mini-plans are also available for the fan that just can't make every game. Mini plans are available in seating areas 127, 128, 101, 103, 104, 105 and all upper level seats. Our mini plan is not like others you may have seen, as we leave the flexibility to the fan.
Buy 10 single-game tickets and you get 12 tickets - good for any game. With this plan, you can pick and choose which games to attend and how many people you want to bring with you. So, when you buy the flex plan, you pay for 10 tickets, but you receive 12 vouchers good for any game. Bring 12 people to one game, go by yourself to 12 different games, or mix and match. The choice is yours. Bring the number of vouchers that you want to use for a particular game to the ticket office and redeem them for the best available seats in your pricing area for a particular game.
Price: Lower bowl (sections 127, 128, 101,103, 104, 105) $230/$190, Upper Bowl: $80
Season tickets and mini-plans are on sale now and can be purchased at the Pan Am Center ticket office or by calling 575-646-1420.

Dresses to sit in, and stand in, and walk in;
Dresses to dance in, and flirt in, and talk in,
Dresses in which to do nothing at all;
Dresses for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall;
All of them different in color and shape.

Brocade and broadcloth, and other material,
Quite as expensive and much more ethereal.

The last time we met was in utter despair
Because she had nothing whatever to wear.

ACC track & field
RALEIGH — Duke's Austin Gamble picked up his second career All-ACC honor with a second place finish in the men's discus to highlight day one of the 2013 ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships at N.C. State Thursday.
Senior Mike Moverman also picked up All-ACC honors in the men's 10,000 meters finishing third with a time of 30:06.35.
"This was Mike's first 10K of his career so to run 30:04 in his first time out is outstanding," Duke Director of Track and Field Norm Ogilvie said. "It has been a good year for him, earning All-ACC in cross country, in the indoor 5,000 and tonight. Not too many guys do that in the long distance races."
In the discus, Gamble's best throw of the day measured 181-3 (55.25). He was competing in his first ACC Championship since 2011 after taking the year off to focus on football.

We love how he shoots and he will add an additional three-point shooter for us. He brings high character to our program and it was important to add another upperclassman with the maturity that Desmond possesses."

The Archives in New York City. Taking the F train from Brooklyn where we were staying with my brother Michael, we would find ourselves at the Chambers Street Station and, map in hand, come up from under ground and step out into the New York summer sunlight, piercing and bright, and, hand shading our eyes, look for the Twin Towers, our point of reference, like tall compass points standing proudly erect, guiding us to our destination, beckoning us, welcoming us as the Statue of Liberty did for my poor ancestors.
Simon and I in New York. I had been researching my genealogy for some time and realized that a trip to that great Mecca of Russian Jewish immigration was necessary, days must be spent at the city archives as well as the National Archives. So while JP and Clem trekked off to distant lands, Simon and I flew over the ocean and landed on my brother's doorstep, pens and notebooks in hand, a trip for two sealed with a deal: every other day we'd do mom's research at one of the two archives, alternating every other day with something fun chosen by Simon.
Days at the archives are tough and grueling, lights dimmed, microfilm machines humming, flipping through card files, cranking the handle on the machine while watching card after card or document after document roll by, spin by, rush by, words faded with time like memories dimmed. Tummy growling with hunger, just one more file, I know it's here, that one file, one document, one name; marriages, births, arrivals, petitions. And joy, celebration with each discovery, a family coming into focus, a history coming alive before my very eyes.
And Simon, just a child with the promise of something fun and exciting to come tomorrow, pizza out or a day spent at the Natural History Museum. But he was a child full of patience and good will, impressing strangers who never failed to come up to us at the end of the day and tell me how well behaved he was, a look of relief written across their tired brow. I bought him toys to entertain himself with, Bat Man and Spider Man plastic figures and he would spend part of each day lying on his back on the floor of the archives living action men adventures apparently much more exciting than my return to the past. And every once in a while up he would pop and ask if he could press the button or turn the handle on the machine.
And the next day off we would go in the other direction, our New York adventure for two, to the zoo or a museum or a toy store or out fishing with Eugene. And all the while Simon would constantly interject "I want to live here," his American side all but bursting out of his 8 year old body, serious and excited all at once. Maybe his love of all things American is due to the fact that his time spent in the States was always vacation time, but love it he does! Growing up on Marx Brothers' comedies (use your imagination when I tell you that he learned a lot of his English from the MB!) and Astaire & Rogers musicals, the same children's books I read and loved when I was a child, old Disney films and the food, his favorite foods: grilled cheese, peanut butter sandwiches, hamburgers and fries, chili and brownies, it is no wonder that he has always felt the pull towards those distant shores, the yearning of the pioneer, the cowboy, the immigrant.
As anyone who follows me on Twitter or Facebook knows, my baby boy, my Simon, has flown the nest and is in New Orleans. It seems natural that memories of our time spent together in the States should come back and whirl around in my head. New York, Florida, our trip up to the top of the Twin Towers, his first trip to the beach, sitting on a towel and howling with fear of both the water and the sand until Uncle Michael took the situation in hand and in no time at all had him splashing happily in the waves. The utter delight, the pure ecstasy lighting up his face as cousin Eugene turned over the steering wheel of the boat to Simon, full speed ahead. And all the shopping and eating, our two favorite things to do in the States, the mall and the diners, the bookstores and the delis, all creating in his young mind the image of an amazing country, a country of abundance and adventure, the streets paved with gold offering up dreams for the taking. With each trip to the States, the more ardent his determination to move there and make it his home.
And now he has flown off. This will be his third day in New Orleans where he is volunteering with lowernine.org helping in his own little way to rebuild post-Katrina New Orleans. And he is living his American Dream.
They all grow up, don't they? And when they finally do, when we kiss them good-bye and watch them walk out the door, our heart flip flops, tears well up in our eyes and we feel the loss. The years rushed by too quickly and we are sorry for all those things we didn't do with them, the mistakes we made, the arguments had. But we forget that once upon a time we were in their shoes, we were the ones walking out that door, off to college or a new city and a new life, all grown up. A friend said "Ah, we watch them spread their wings and take off while we hope that we've given them roots firm enough to keep them grounded." Yes, that's it. We hope that we have taught them well and that it will be the good things they remember, the happy times, the lessons learned. Our parents did it before us and now it is our turn. And while we watch them take off and go we close our eyes and hope that they haven't really left…at least not for good.
I've decided to post one of Simon's favorite cakes again. I've posted this early on, but it is something that my men ask for over and over again. It is quick and so easy to make, even a beginner can do it! And it is perfect for using up those old, over-ripe, sad bananas, turning them into something dense, moist and filled with flavor, the perfect breakfast or snack cake. I add a handful of mini chocolate chips and top the cake with slivered almonds or streusel if I have some on hand. This would also be wonderful in the summer with fresh blueberries folded in instead of the chocolate chips, and chopped pecans or walnuts are always welcome!
BEST BANANA BREAD with mini chocolate chips
This is so simple, even the most novice among us, young or old, can easily put this together. Each ingredient, except, of course, for the bananas, is a pantry staple. My recipe calls for vegetable oil, so no waiting around for butter to soften. The bread is great to wrap up, whole or in slices, to take on a picnic or put in a lunch box. Every year, I bake batches in small aluminum tins to give as holiday gifts along with one or two other flavored breads. And as I said, this cake is so easy to personalize, adding "mix ins" from fruit to nuts to chocolate chips.
2 medium bananas, the riper the better
2 large eggs
1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 ¾ cups (220 g) flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup (125 ml) vegetable oil
1/8 cup (25 ml) milk or buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
Mix ins : ½ - 1 cup chocolate chips, I prefer mini chips, ½ - 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1 cup drained pineapple chunks, ½ cup grated coconut, etc. (optional)
Toppings – slivered almonds, streusel, or spread on a chocolate frosting, or drizzle on a chocolate or lemon glaze (optional)
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9 x 5 x 3 inches (8 cups) or 23 x 13 x 8 cm (1.9 liters) loaf pan. Or divide into smaller aluminum tins.
Mash or purée the bananas in a large bowl (I suggest hand-mashing the bananas with a fork, as I find that using an electric emulsion blended gives the bananas a pasty consistency that makes the finished bread a bit dryer, strangely enough!). Don't worry if this is not perfectly smooth!
Add the eggs and beat well with the mashed bananas using a fork, whisk or wooden spoon.
Add the sugar and continue beating for a minute or two until well blended and slightly thickened.
In a small bowl, blend the flour, baking powder and soda and salt. In a measuring cup, blend the oil, milk and vanilla.
Now, stir in the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the liquid ingredients in 2, starting and ending with the dry. Scrape down the sides and make sure the batter is well blended. Fold in the mix-ins of your choice, stirring until evenly distributed.
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and just give the pan a quick but gentle shake back and forth once to make sure the batter is even in the pan. Put in the oven and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes or until risen: the center should be beautifully cracked and by gently pressing down on the center, you can tell that the cake is set. You can cook this for 5 minutes more if you prefer to be sure that it is done, it won't overcook the cake. I just prefer this bread just done. Don't forget to adjust cooking time if you use smaller tins.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 – 10 minutes in the pan before loosening it from the pan by sliding a knife all around the edges the shaking up and down in quick sharp movements to loosen the cake from the bottom. Turn out and allow to cool on a rack. Drizzle the top with chocolate glaze only after the cake has cooled.

Nicely written and a great recipe(and pictures to boot)
I remember leaving Grenada at 17 to come to New York and I think your words epitomized how my Mother must have felt.
I had her support all the way and she never let her sadness show(well she did 'tear-up' a little bit when she kissed me goodbye).

I love banana bread and make them often too. :)
My poppet is only going to be 4 but every day I see her growing into a little lady - no more a baby. It seems like just yesterday I delivered her at the hospital, holding her for the first time and breastfeeding her. It's hard as it is for me now, I can only imagine what you are going through with your youngest leaving the nest.

Almost brought a tear to my eye, I already can't imagine my little ones sprouting wings and taking flight. Your young man has made a wonderful decision to help out the less fortunate in NA. That itself should be proof of the good grounding you have given him.

You made tears well up in my eyes and a big lump form in my throat. How can we be so happy and so sad all at the same time? Easy, we're moms!! You must be so proud of your son. He's doing a wonderful thing with helping other people! You've done your job right mom!

Wishing all the best to Simon in his endeavors! And thank you for sharing such wonderful memories with us. It must have been bittersweet to see him leave but he will undoubtedly be drawn back home as much as he was drawn away - especially if this banana bread is beckoning!

I hope I can give mine roots firm enough too to keep them grounded Jamie. My heart lurches with anxiety when I read what to expect in the future. Love how beautifully you put those emotions into words. No one can do it better than you cara! Love the banana bread, and the pictures too. xo

Grate saw, have other Dewalt tools so have alot of extra batteries. I just like Dewalt tools
Best Uses
Comments about 18V Cordless XRP 6-1/2-in Circular Saw Kit:
Pretty powerful for a battery operated tool. Quick & easy to use. I love that you don't have to drag out a cord & find an outlet. I had a small battery op'd saw years ago (not to useful) but this saw is almost equal in usability to a full-size 7 1/4" corded saw. Works great!
Best Uses
Comments about 18V Cordless XRP 6-1/2-in Circular Saw Kit:
For what I intended this tool for, it does work well. I wanted something light and effortless for smaller jobs or that quick cut that didn't require a saw with an extension cord. It's not as powerful as some, perhaps. But I'd bet this will get it done for more than half the jobs you wanted a that corded circular saw to do in the first place.
Best Uses
Comments about 18V Cordless XRP 6-1/2-in Circular Saw Kit:
This isn't the lightest cordless saw available, but the DeWalt DC390 is no lightweight on power, either. The run time on the 18v XRP battery is excellent, and like most DeWalt cordless products, this saw is made to be used!
In addition to outstanding power and run time, depth adjustments are easy, and vibration and arbor runout are low. This is a well-made saw that should last for many years.
My only complaint (and this is a very minor one) is that the spring in the power switch safety lock is a bit stiff. After all, SOMETHING has to be less than perfect! On the other hand -- literally -- since I am left-handed, the double-sided safety lock is a bonus.
This is one tool that gets an entheusiastic two thumbs up!
Best Uses
Comments about 18V Cordless XRP 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw Kit:
After I got used to the blade being on the left, I really liked this saw. It is very easy to adjust, and light for use in difficult positions, but with plenty of power. My only beef with it is the double safety trigger is a little "too safe" and awkward to use. Something that I really like about this saw, is that the charger and the charger cord fit easily in the case.

This fancy red rooster flew down to the library by way of Gettysburg, PA when the library was opening in August 2008. He was so thrilled to see a beautiful new library full of wonderful books, movies, games, information and friendly helpful staff that he flew down the library's chimney and now roosts on the roof in the TRL Children's Department with a brand new name: Rocket the Rooster. When he sees kids using the library, he clucks a happy song to himself!
This Rebecca Pearl print 'A Glimpse of Yesteryear' depicts in downtown Thurmont. The old Thurmont Library building on Water Street can be seen as the Moravian Church. The Thurmont Lion's Club commissioned this print in honor of their 75th Anniversary in 2004 and donated it to the library. The print depicts the Thurmont Town Square as it might have looked on a snowy evening in the year the club was founded.
This mural is believed to be created by members of a grange in Frederick County, Maryland. The mural was given to Frederick County Public Libraries (FCPL) by the Historical Society of Frederick County (HSFC). The HSFC originally received it as a gift from Mr. & Mrs. Ray Compton. It is believed that the Comptons purchased the mural from either an estate sale or an auction, and stored it for a few years before giving it to the HSFC.
Mark Hafield donated this work prior to the library's grand opening in 2008. His studio is near his home in Hanover, PA. The artist's statement:
Eric Mohn's paintings are the essence of patience and concentration. Left a quadriplegic after a 1963 car accident, he was determined to bring forth the creative process still within. He graduated from Montgomery College in 1977 and proceeded to earn his bachelor's degree from Saint Andrews Presbyterian College, NC. Eric opened a studio in Thurmont and donated this print to the Thurmont Regional Library just months before his untimely death in 2008.
Rose M. Hahn designed this quilt using traditional blocks with names that represent Thurmont and the Northern Frederick County region, abundant with wildlife and diverse agriculture from farms to orchards. Pattern named blocks selected range from 1889-1973. The Center of the quilt's appliqué parts and the quilting patterns used are original art work of Rose M. Hahn.
A pair of church windows from the old Thurmont Branch Library on Water Street now adorns the walls of the Thurmont Center for Agricultural History. That building, originally a Moravian Church built in 1874, served as the town's library from 1967-2008.
