Whew! What a whirlwind! Even if we don't take an active part in the scheduled goings on at Volleyball Beach, there are so many people to meet, jobs to take care of and simply so many "opportunities" here, that we have few chances to sit back and relax.
That "sit back and relax" idea is out of the question for more than one reason right now. The wind has been up and we have been pitching and dipping for the last few days and nights. Dry dinghy rides are out of the question; freshly laundered clothes get salt encrusted on the first trip away from home; the anchor chain rattles and wires inside the mast twing and twang during the nights.
Jim used some more choice words and brute strength to pry up the floor boards so we could have a closer look at the holding tank and determine the source of the odour. It was only about half full so over flow was not the problem - thank goodness!! I unloaded the stern locker and crawled down in there to unfasten the vent tube and blow through it to dislodge any nasty bits that might be blocking the air flow. It cleared, but the smell continues. I guess we'll dump a lot more deodorizer in there, pump out and see what happens next.
Jim replaced the alternator belt on the engine - again - in case that was the cause of the smoky smell as we turned the engine on when we came in here last week. Sure enough, this one had started to fray. Getting those things on at the right tension seems to be a tricky business. Too tight and they fray; too loose and they don't work efficiently so we don't produce enough energy. Speaking of energy production - the wind generator is working away these days. I turned on the Honda generator only twice while Jim was away, and it hasn't been on at all in the last 4 days!
I report all this just in case any of you might be thinking we are sitting here with brains and muscles withering away from lack of use while you deal with cold and snow! We do have a few of our own issues to deal with. Our switches don't work unless we create or harvest the power ourselves. We don't have TV and if we want to watch a movie on the computer, we need to make sure we have enough power. Our phones don't ring and computers don't work if there are any glitches with the Bahamas Telephone Company - and glitches are regular occurrences. Our sewage system lies right under our living room floor and we lug our water in 5 gallon cans. Whether or not our home stays where we put it depends on a chain, and anchor and a rope. We wear our clothes until they are stiff with salt and/or ... and then we load up bags and tote them off to the laundromat.
I know - I know - this is still better than cold and snow and the working life!! I just feel the need to temper the image of an idyllic life a teensy bit. ;-)
Besides the demands of boat chores, we are managing to fill our days to the brim. We attended beach church for the first time on Sunday. It was a pleasant gathering of about 40 - 50 people, a well written and delivered message about sharing and acceptance, a few prayers and some hymns (that needed a serious boost in tempo and some inclusive language). There were coffee and goodies afterward just like church back home, and well wishes and greetings and plans made for later in the day.
Jim attended Chris Parker's session on Sunday afternoon while I started weaving a basket with fronds I collected at Sand Dollar beach. In the evening, we joined Ken and Connie (Oz) Chris and Peaches (Star of the Sea) and Sally and Guido (?) for Trivia night at St Francis. We split up into 4 teams with a person from each boat on each team - so we'd be better able to share the winnings. Alas, although the team with Jim, Connie, Peaches and Guido did better than we did, no one came home with winnings. It was a lot of fun though, and it reminded me of good times playing trivia in the past. We must resurrect that activity!
Monday was education time. We got together with Diane and Ted (Boatel I) in the morning to share information on Cat Island and Eleuthera - and to see their gorgeous trawler. It is a huge 4 stateroom boat with beautiful finishing top to bottom, full sized fridge and stove, and what looks like an honest to goodness basement in it - complete with laundry area, work bench and tools (and of course since it is a boat after all - a large open engine room). They operate a Boat B&B in Toronto in the summers, and the boat is also for sale as they plan to move on to other activities.
In the afternoon, we headed to Volleyball Beach to listen to Chris Parker again. This time he highlighted some common mistakes/learning experiences that cruisers commonly fall into. Among them were the often stated ones of trying to move according to a fixed schedule, and expecting weather to be exactly as forecast. I just love Chris' attitude. He emphasized that sailing should be planned for the comfort level of ALL on board, and encouraged discussion around that before and during passages. Is it marginally acceptable? What happens if the wind is stronger or from a slightly different direction? Do you have bail out destinations in case it is just not comfortable or safe to continue to the planned one? He also pushed us to take responsibility for our own vessels and our own forecasting based on local conditions - what we see outside our own boats. While we might like to be told exactly what will happen and when, that is simply not possible. There were smiles all round as we recalled folks who call him wanting to know exactly how far they can go in one direction before turning to another, or the exact timing of squalls, or asking about sea conditions over distances so short they can almost see for themselves. We each need to be responsible for our own vessels, relying on his and other forecasts, on what we learn ourselves about weather trends and patterns, and on what we see and feel.
It was picture time after that as we gathered for a Seven Seas Cruising Association photo, and then we were off to an information session for the folks going to Cuba this year. Despite the fact that Duncan (Talisa) had sent an email and made an announcement on the net that this gathering was for folks travelling to Cuba THIS YEAR, two American men still had to show up to tell us of their travels there almost TEN years ago! They took over the conversation during the introductions and would have continued to monopolize it as they "informed us" were it not for the efforts of Duncan and others to bring the conversation back around to the group gathered for a particular purpose. It was a pertinent reminder of the importance of letting folks know we have information if needed and then offering advice only when requested - not when we just want to expound.
We joined a whole crowd of cruisers on board Boatel in the evening - Dorena and George (Delicio), Marge and Ed (Margaret Lee), and Charm and Ron ('Bout Time) for a lively happy hour and then bounced back home to tumble into bed.
We had planned to leave for Long Island today, but will wait for the seas to calm down tomorrow. Off to the laundry and water taps today!
26/02/2011/12:38 pm, Georgetown, Exumas
This week has flown by and although the wind has picked up in the last couple of days, it's sunny, hot and "friendly".
I haven't been back over to town until tonight when I went to pick up Jim, but I have been busy! The evenings have been social and gustatory experiences. Barb and Bill (Suncast) from Toronto invited me for dinner on Thursday and we feasted on BBQ'd steak and potatoes with salad topped with bright red, juicy tomatoes from one of the little produce stands in town. The next night, I was out again - this time joining Mary Lou and Bob (Cygnus) for a creamy and tasty chicken/broccoli dish accompanied by salad with Mary Lou's special caesar dressing. I laugh when I get home each night because folks always want me to call on VHF to let them know I'm safely back. It's like being 15 again! I'm glad the runs have been short the last couple of nights because the waves are higher and in a situation like that I run the risk of bouncing right out if I get up on plane with just me in the dinghy. Instead of roaring along, I plowed along, in and out of the waves.
My daytime hours have been filled with work and education. I cleaned the interior of the boat from top to bottom and bow to stern - getting rid of accumulated dust and paper, and reorganizing drawers and lockers. Then I tried to tackle a job with a higher "yuck factor". We have a stronger than usual "odour" in the cabin after the head is pumped and I tried to get the floor boards up to have a look. Some of the screws did not want to come up, so after much grumbling and a few choice words with no results, I left it for Jim to take care of when he comes back. My inspection by flashlight wherever I could get a peek didn't reveal anything bad so maybe it just needs a really good pumping out.
On earlier walks this year, we've found some nice pieces of sea glass and I took some pretty bits over to Mary Lou on Thursday. By the time I arrived there yesterday, she had transformed them into lovely pendants and earrings. Her work is distinctive and beautiful. Rather than wrapping the glass with wire, she attaches little charms or else just uses a simple silver bail and I really like the look of my beautiful new jewellery. If you'd like to see her work, find her on Cygnus (currently at Sand Dollar Beach) or contact her at [email protected]
Connie (Oz), Peach and Chris (Star of the Sea) and I along with 50 other folks jammed into a room at the St Francis resort this afternoon to hear Chris Parker in person. He is the weather guru to whom we all listen eagerly 6 mornings a week at 6:30 on the Single Side Band radio. It was a real treat to hear his weather philosophy, and to get a better handle on understanding the forecasting process. He is a weather forecaster, not a meteorologist, although he has studied meteorology, and most of what he has learned has been from flying gliders and sailing. I loved his statement, "I would rather give you information that means you won't be surprised by what you get, than be "right". He said the goal of most forecasters is to be "right", but he would rather be overly cautious than right on the nail. I hadn't realized just how much of the process is watching trends and making educated guesses. No wonder we are sometimes faced with wind that is not just what we expected. One good nugget of information concerned wind along coast lines. He told us that wind tends to parallel coasts so if we are expecting a NW wind and we are going N up the coast of Florida this spring, we will probably get a N wind instead - right on the nose. That situation is exactly what we have found on many occasions when we've been cruising along a coastline.
On Saturday afternoon, I took a walk up over the hill at Sand Dollar beach. The view was spectacular out over the ocean and sparkling over the harbour too. It was perfectly lovely to relax on the bench at the top, chatting with Valt and Sandi (Amber Isle) before continuing along the ridge and back down to the sandy beach. The report today was that there are 184 boats here. I was astounded to hear that there are 52 in Thompson Bay, Long Island; we haven't seen more than 20 there in other years. Now I know why we didn't see as many boats up north - those who are still able to cruise this year are spending their time further south.
By 5 o'clock it was time to head to town to pick up "Captain Madcap". He arrived in a roundabout way from Ottawa, ON with a smile on his face and Cuba charts under his arm. He also seemed to bring a dark cloud with him and we took shelter under an overhang and chatted with Ralph - another Nova Scotian. We were lucky enough to make it across the harbour without getting wet and before long, that big black cloud moved clear away. An omen for the next few days, I hope!
24/02/2011/9:00 am, Georgetown, Exumas
There are more boats here than we've seen before, and at night the mast head anchor lights look for all the world like those of a city. I heard a rumour that there are more than 320 of us in Elizabeth harbour - that open area of water between Stocking Island and the mainland. It is a huge area so boats aren't crowded unless they want to be. As one cruises north to south, we pass by Monument Beach and Hamburger beach, then tiny Honeymoon Beach, and then the centre of action - Volleyball Beach. Tucked in behind that are the "Holes" - #1,2,3. Further down is Sand Dollar Beach where we stopped, and over on the other side is the flock of boats off Kidd Cove just outside the entrance to town, and south of that is Red Shanks - another tucked away little area.
We picked the Sand Dollar area because we wanted lots of space around Madcap for when the wind picks up later today and, being south of the town, we aren't in any risk of sticking out in the channel where the freighters come in. We don't get wifi on the boat, so it means a trip across the harbour to town or up to Volleyball beach to connect. Because it is a long trip across an open stretch of water, we have almost always gotten wet here, but things are better so far this year! Our new 9.5 ft AB dinghy with its higher sides, our faster Yamaha 15 hp outboard, and the calm wind in the last few days have meant very pleasurable crossings. While we used to take 20 minutes to do this crossing, we can fly across in 10 now. (A note about dinghies and motors here: We are so very happy with our new and improved models. We went for cheaper before and made do OK, but it is SO much more pleasant with the combination we have now that I would never advise anyone buying them to skimp on these two items.)
We pulled in right next to Kolibrie and were immediately invited to join them and others at a potluck on the beach. It was fun to see Bill and Barb (Suncast) and Diane and Ted (Boatel I) and to meet Axel and Mary Claire (Azaya) and Marsha and Chris (Endorphins) along with our Bayfield 36 pals, Pat and Wayne (Kolibrie).
We did more visiting on Tuesday, mingled with water jug filling at the dinghy dock and internet at Pet's Place - a new and convenient little cafe in town. On our way in, we passed a boat with a big Nova Scotia flag flying so of course we had to stop by and meet Peter Henneberry from Eastern Passage. He had amazing tales to tell of his trip down here and was also able to give us first hand information about Cuba. He has been there already this year so as we chatted, I wrote down everything he said! There must be a dozen Nova Scotia boats here - it's really fun to see them and meet them. Interestingly, it seems to be the Quebeckers and the Nova Scotians (Madcap among them) who fly our provincial flags along with the red maple leaf.
Mary Lou and Bob (Cygnus) are just a bit behind us. We haven't seen these old friends from MD since our brief visit to Georgetown last year and were delighted to join them and their friends Judy and John (Luna Sea) and Sandra and Chuck (Eliora) for Happy Hour. Sapphire left early in the morning, so although I had a quick chat with Mike, we'll have to wait till later to see them.
Jim had an early morning flight out of here on Wednesday and was able to share a taxi with guests of Boatel I, so we all assembled by the market at 6 am to see them off. During the rest of the day, I picked up water, checked out the grocery store, and ordered new Cuba charts from Bluewater Books in Fort Lauderdale. Apparently there are brand new ones for the North coast (NV charts) and since Jim has to overnight in Washington, they will send them there, saving us some shipping costs. A number of boats in the area are planning March trips to Cuba from Ragged Island and it is exciting to connect with them and make some plans - still etched into soft sand of course!
Chris Parker (the weather guy) arrives here on Saturday and will be giving weather seminars all week, so I joined the hoards of other boaters in registration line at St. Francis conference centre. I plan to attend Basic Weather on Saturday, and I've signed Jim up for the one on web weather and grib files when he returns. (Hope he thinks it's a good choice!!) We'll be here for the first few days of regatta this year so we'll take in a few other events too.
Last night was Happy Hour at Hamburger Beach and after debating whether I'd go or not, I decided to head on up there and I'm glad I did! The food was fine and the conversations many. I met up with the crews of Oz and Star of the Sea, Cygnus and Luna Sea, and met Ann and Joe (Short Walk) and Jane and Gary (Dream Catcher). Just after dark, Connie helped me push the dinghy off the beach and Ken insisted that I call to report a safe arrival home. Mary Lou and Bob offered an escort if I needed one. I have to tell you, it was so thrilling to captain my own little dinghy through the anchored boats and then plane down the harbour outside the city of lights and under the stars. While I love cruising with my great partner, Jim, his trips back to Canada this year have allowed me to experience the thrill of doing things on my own and being solely responsible for Madcap. It is wonderfully reassuring to know that I have good friends nearby who offer company and support whenever I want it, and so far, there have been no challenges, so I am one contented cruiser.
Now ... off to start another day. I have jobs to do, places to go and people to see!!

I am working on a proof of concept for my organization using Neo4j. As an example, I've chosen to model a companies management hierarchy (who manages who, who is managed by X etc). It seems like it would work well in a graph, but I can't find any way to get the data back out of Neo4j in the way I would want to display it.
The query I need is: Tell me everyone that reports to person X, all the way down. So that means, everyone who directly reports to X and anyone who reports to them etc.
I see I can do that in Cypher, but it returns a flattened 2d result. But that isn't very helpful since it doesn't describe the management structure of the results.
It seems what I really want is a graph of the people all the way down. Can this be done without doing queries for every level of management?
I am using the C# Neo4JClient, but I am interested in any solution at this point.

Tarvaris Jackson played well this season but the Seahawks still need a quarterback who can win tight games in the fourth quarter.
RENTON — And now we return to your regularly scheduled quarterback angst.
The Seahawks' never-ending (or never-beginning?) pursuit of a franchise quarterback is a tease similar to the meandering television show "The Killing." And, no, that is not a lame joke about getting rid of Tarvaris Jackson.
"The Killing" is a suspenseful crime drama set in Seattle that pompously broke all crime drama rules in its first season. We're still wondering who killed Rosie Larson, but we might be too ticked to care anymore. In "The Quarterback," the Seahawks have been just as, well, slow.
They've needed a young franchise quarterback since 2008. Four years later, they're still inventing plot twists. This offseason, there's a "good is the enemy of great" tone to the chase. The Seahawks have a serviceable 28-year-old starter in Jackson, and he had a career season (3,091 passing yards, 14 touchdowns, 79.2 quarterback rating). It means that, unlike last offseason when Matt Hasselbeck was a free agent and the Seahawks decided to let him go, the franchise doesn't have a desperate need for a quarterback. They could go into next season with Jackson as the starter and be a competitive football team with legitimate playoff aspirations.

But just getting by shouldn't be the goal. The quarterback need isn't desperate, but it remains significant. If the Seahawks want to build a true Super Bowl contender — not just a team that might get lucky if everything goes right — then they need an upgrade.
Jackson's solid performance this season does open some possibilities. The Seahawks don't have to reach for any ol' quarterback in the draft. They could also acquire a raw quarterback that they project to be really good (similar to San Francisco's plan with Colin Kaepernick) because, if need be, Jackson is a suitable placeholder for another season.
The Seahawks just can't fool themselves into believing Jackson is the future. He's a wonderful person with great professionalism and more talent than the average temp. He defied low expectations and became a credible starting NFL quarterback. But the Seahawks lost six games that were close in the fourth quarter, and Jackson started five of those.
His greatest closing moment was running the clock out on the final drive of a 22-17 victory over Baltimore, and that only required handing the ball off to Marshawn Lynch.
Success in the NFL requires a quarterback who makes big throws during crunch time. The way the Seahawks want to play — defense first, pound the run, grind it out — increases the need for a fourth-quarter literate QB. They figure to play more close games than normal.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has praised Jackson all season and recently gave him a strong endorsement for next season. Of course, he was going to say that. And Jackson deserves the coach's kind words. He played through a torn pectoral muscle and helped the Seahawks make major progress after a 2-6 start.
Still, though, Carroll has vowed to maintain a competitive atmosphere, and because there's no Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees playing quarterback in Seattle, the Seahawks should be seeking more out of the position.
Jackson said he would embrace the competition if the Seahawks acquired a young quarterback. And when asked for areas in which he could get better, Jackson simply responded, "Everywhere."
And what made him most proud about his season?
"Being able to finish the season," Jackson said. "It was kind of rough. Doctors didn't think I could make it through with my pec at first. But I was able to fight through it and sort of prove them wrong. That was big for me, not having to have surgery because I would've missed the rest of the season and much of the offseason. I really didn't want to miss that time."
Jackson did his job. He became a more efficient quarterback, especially after the run game emerged. You don't really have to worry about Jackson losing games.
The Seahawks still don't have a quarterback who can win games regularly, however. And so the pursuit continues. Or maybe, because they haven't made a significant investment in a quarterback yet, the pursuit begins.
Will general manager John Schneider go after Matt Flynn? Or move up in the draft to take Robert Griffin III if he declares? Or make an unpredictable pick in a later round? Or sign Charlie Whitehurst's clone?
It's hard to tell where the Seahawks are in this drama. It's also impossible to ignore the suspense.
This is the best unintentional television show not on the air.

Jackson, Miss. Organizers have little time left for a new Mississippi initiative that would declare life begins at conception.
Abortion opponents face a Wednesday deadline to put the proposed state constitutional amendment on the 2015 ballot. They must submit signatures from more than 107,000 registered voters.
If they miss the deadline, the initiative will die.
The Associated Press called circuit clerks in 12 large counties Friday. Workers said they had received no petitions. Clerks must verify signatures before petitions go to the secretary of state.
Mississippi voters rejected a nearly identical life-at-fertilization amendment in 2011. But, supporters said they thought people who voted against it were confused by how it would affect in-vitro fertilization and birth control.
Opponents say a new initiative is a waste of time because voters have spoken.

The 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 22 brought television's hottest stars to the red carpet.
While our usual favorites like Kerry Washington, Claire Danes, and Michelle Dockery all stunned, there were some surprises too -- Lena Dunham made our best dressed list for the first time in a floral print Prada.
Simple and chic was definitely a trend, with stars like Allison Williams and Jessica Pare wearing sleek, minimal gowns in bold hues.
Another trend we spotted right away was sheer, but as you can guess, that one didn't pan out quite so well.

To play Azada – download it from here.
As soon after I've asked for more innovation for casual games there comes a game that really nails it: Azada is not only the best selling game at the moment, but it also contains over 40 unique puzzles. Not just "different levels" like you can see in most games, but different puzzles.
Basically Azada's is like several games in one package – and in my opinion that's a really fresh view on casual clone wars. They launched yesterday, and in less than two hours, Azada had smashed the full release days of both Mystic Inn and Atlantis Sky Patrol. According to BFG, Mystic Inn sold 2000 copies in a few days so it looks like these guys have another hit game at their hands.
Those who want to check out this polished (and really fresh game in the casual space), download Azada from here.

Global Connectivity | Urban Mobility | Company Cars | Flexible Mobility Solutions
To enhance a country's productivity and competitiveness in today's marketplace a number of challenges must be overcome:
Firstly, due to the ongoing economic turmoil, an emphasis on cost efficiency for airports, ports, railways and road networks increases, which means economic slowdowns must be factored into cost calculations. Secondly, the need for integrating planning and funding must also be well defined to gain a clear view of how connecting assets, such as roads or railways are impacted. Finally, carbon pricing will likely be the biggest challenge and may very well change the economic viability of both ports and airports, as well as the economics of ports entirely, which rely heavily on the import and export of fossil fuels.
Despite these three challenges, the outlook for global connectivity infrastructure looks fairly bright in the medium to long term. Both port and airport traffic are recovering significantly from the global financial crisis, which has led to a process of increased privatization and refinancing.

Why SEO?
Basic tasks like creating a website and content, submissions to online directories,building a few random links, meta tags, stuffing your custom SEO services with bunch of keywords may probably work initially, but a more professional approach is advised to make your website search engine friendly, designed based on guidelines provided by the search engines themselves. It is always better to begin with a search engine optimized website, as there will be minimum revisions and fine tuning to the basic site-structure as the site evolves in terms of content and traffic.

Soderbergh Wants A Sequel To The Limey, Terrence Stamp Approves
By Josh Tyler 2009-07-10 23:05:46 comments
Few remember Steven Soderberghs 1999 movie The Limey. It was quickly overshadowed by the directors much more heavily touted films which were soon to follow: Erin Brockovich, Traffic, and Oceans Eleven. But just because youve forgotten it doesnt mean Soderbergh has.
Stevens wife Jules Asner (Yeah, that Jules Asner. Lucky bastard.) appeared today on The Adam Carolla Podcast. If you listen to one podcast it should be ours. If you listen to two podcasts then mix in Smodcast. If you have time for three, seriously dont miss what Carollas up to. Its good for the stuff between your ears.
During her appearance, Asner got down to the business of talking about what her husbands up to and revealed that Soderberghs considering a sequel to The Limey. She says, He wants to do a sequel to The Limey and Terrence wants to do it. Terrence is Terrence Stamp, who starred in the first film as Wilson, a recently released British ex-con who goes to LA looking for his daughters murderer. Its not an action movie, so if youre entertaining violence fantasies in which Zod shows up in Limey 2 and walks through Los Angeles blowing away gang members then please, rent the first one and reconsider.

Look at it this way if I go back in time and kill myself, I would no longer exist in the future. Because of that I wouldn't be able to go back in time to kill myself, as such time would remain unchanged.
Odin: It doesn't matter, we need to stop Ken'atra, the sooner the better. When we stop him we will then posses the time matrix.
Now if you don't mind we can continue this debate another time. We are here to stop Ken'atra, and acquire the time matrix. Now if you please, either be quite or say something that will help us accomplish our goal and get back home.

Justin Bieber 'Never Say Never' New Trailer [Video]Michelle Lamar
We have a new clip from Justin Bieber's upcoming flick, Never Say Never! Justin Bieber fans will be whipped into a Bieber Fever when the 16-year-old singing sensation's upcoming movie, Never Say Never hits theatres on February 14th, which just happens to be Valentine's Day.
Bieber fans are very dedicated, which at times can be intense for the rest of us. MTV Crush says that Bieber fans "dedication goes a little too far (death threats = very bad), but it's not a stretch to say the Boy Wonder wouldn't be dominating the music world (or the world in general) if it weren't for his mostly well-behaved army of acolytes."
Never Say Never is going to be a real event, with zillions of teen and tween girls mobbing the movie! Justin's manager Scooter Braun says his job is easy because working Bieber brings joy to so many fans.
Scooter Braun says "Me and the guy from Extreme Home Makeover have the best jobs in the world. It's actually the most gratifying thing about the job. Little things go a very long way. You get paid to just make other people happy."
If you need a fix for your Bieber Fever, check out the website for Never Say Never and watch the NEW clip from the movie below!

(FDA) for its Avastin product.
However, mobile phone maker Nokia fell 5.5 percent after announcing plans to axe its dividend in order to shore up its cash position.
Analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch kept an "underperform" rating on Nokia, writing in a research note that Nokia's gross margins and channel inventories were "not encouraging."
The Euro STOXX 50 index has a current relative strength index (RSI) reading of around 63 points - below the 70 point mark which means an index is in technically "overbought" territory, and suggesting it has room to rise in coming days.
The Euro STOXX 50 is also trading above the index's 200-day and 50-day simple moving average levels, which are further technical indicators to suggest the index has scope for more gains.
Moustapha Awada, who heads up quantitative trading firm Sunofia Advisers, said worries over the U.S. debt situation and the possibility of slower Chinese economic growth could lead to a pullback on equities in the first quarter.
However, he expected an overall rally during the course of 2013.
"We could potentially see some pullback from debt ceiling problems in the U.S. and slower growth in China, but I see the potential for equities to keep going up," he said.

Late Friday, Ingham county's prosecutor cleared Lansing police officer Billy Windom in a fatal shooting.
Officer Windom has been dispatched to a South Holmes house on September 13 to investigate a domestic assault incident. As officer Windom walked up to the house, John Richard Ferguson came out and raised a rife at the officer. After ignoring repeated demands to drop the gun, Windom shot and killed Ferguson.
Toxicology tests have show that Ferguson was intoxicated at the time.
Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III concluded the shooting was in self-defense and no crime occurred.

Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class than the Infiniti Q60, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Infiniti Q60 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Infiniti Q60 as you will with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Infiniti Q60 is clearly a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Infiniti Q60 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class have similar Destination Charges.
Since the Infiniti Q60 is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Infiniti Q60 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The Infiniti Q60 has much less torque than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
The Infiniti Q60 has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
In terms of horsepower, it's basically a tie between the Infiniti Q60 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Infiniti Q60 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The Infiniti Q60 has less cargo capacity than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
The basic warranty for the Infiniti Q60 offers a little more coverage than the basic warranty of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class in terms of months/miles.

The Second China-U.S. Workshop on Radio Astronomy Science and Technology
Focusing on the Shanghai 65m Telescope and VLBA Collaborations
Shanghai Astronomical Observatory
May 13-17, 2013
The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) of the U.S. and the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of China are pleased to be holding a workshop in Shanghai during the week of May 13, 2013. This meeting is the second in a series that is encouraged by a Memorandum of Understanding held between the two observatories to increase U.S.-Chinese collaboration in the pursuit of radio astronomy, both scientific and technical.
The SHAO is currently commissioning a new 65m radio telescope near Shanghai which will allow observations between 1.4 and 45 GHz. The science and technical program of this workshop will be largely driven by the capabilities offered by this instrument, including VLBI, pulsar timing, and spectroscopic surveys. The program will also look toward future technical developments and scientific capabilites instigated by completion of the VLBA sensitivity upgrade project and the gigantic FAST telescope in Guizhou province, the Qitai 110m fully steerable telescope being planned in Xinjiang region, and an ambitious Chinese space VLBI program.
This workshop will bring together experts from the US and China to present the current and future scientific and technical state of radio astronomy facilities in the two contries. A key goal is for new technical, scientific and administrative collaborations to be formed.
The workshop will consist of about 3 days of presentations, with opportunities for any student or postdoc to briefly describe their work, a tour of the 65m telescope, and structured group discussions.

MUMBAI: A 19-year-old boy from neighbouring Thane district, detained on suspicion of posting an "objectionable" Facebook comment against MNS chief Raj Thackeray, was let off after police found that a "fake account" was used by some persons in the teenager's name.

text: #1 · Posted 2 Oct 2006 (edited) This is the who, how long and why thread for people who've been banned from the forum. I saw a thread like this on Penny-Arcade's forum and I suspect it's a common thing on forums. I liked the idea and since the "twat to norm ratio seems a bit off", here we are. AceLoc was put on a 24 hour ban for trolling. I told him to stop his "shitfox" comment but he didn't listen (Claims he didn't see my post). He decided he wanted to leave the forum. I explained to him, leaving was his choice but the reason he was banned for such a minor thing was because everybody was tired of his antics so he was pretty much in zero-tolerance mode for bannable offenses. He wanted to know if he could be allowed to make his last topic since he was leaving. I told him when the 24 hour ban was up. Previously I had also warned him both times that I banned him that arguing with me over the ban would result in an extension. After I denied his request to remove the ban early so he could make his last topic, he had the response "Fucking cunt" which earned him a 7-day ban. See here for information about forum policy.

"The Referal Letter"
Hi Jeff:
Following is a copy of a letter I'm sending to National Custom Homes. It was a pleasure working with you and I'd be happy to give a refererence to any future clients.
Dear Rick:
After all this time I am very appreciative of your wonderderful service and that of your staff. I called Anita in a panic a couple of weeks ago and she promptly helped me out of my dilemma.
As you know we have had the work completed by Safex redone. I am enclosing photos of what Safex left us with and never did the work. Also enclosed photos of the work "redone" by Boca Theater and Automation. I highly recommend them and think it would be mutually beneficial for you to give them a call. The experience was a short dream rather than the endless nightmare we had with Safex – plus everything works!. The owner of Boca Theater is Jeff and the number is 561-999-9024.
Once againthank you for everything, we are enjoying our home.
Most Sincerly,
Jerry and Sherry

Apple's latest flagship tablet, the iPad Air 2, is here and it's sporting that familiar 9.7-inch display and an even slimmer body.

We've gathered together all the key information on Apple's new tablet for you to digest in one place, so please read on.

- When is it out? Now
- What will it cost? It starts at $499, £399, AU$619 for the 16GB, Wi-Fi only model
iPad Air 2 release date
The iPad Air 2 has been out since late October, so you can grab it now.
iPad Air 2 price
In terms of price the iPad Air 2 starts at $499, £399, AU$619 for the 16GB Wi-Fi only model, with 64GB of internal storage setting you back $599, £479, AU$739 and 128GB costing $699, £559, AU$859.
If you fancy some 4G action on your iPad Air 2 you'll have to part with $629, £499, AU$779 for 16GB, $729, £579, AU$899 for 64GB and $829, £659, AU$1019 for 128GB.
iPad Air 2 display
The iPad Air 2 has the same 9.7-inch, 1536 x 2048 264ppi display as its predecessor, but it's not a carbon copy as Apple has developed a zero air gap screen.
It claims that this anti-reflective coating reduces screen reflections by 56%, which should provide clearer, brighter images.
iPad Air 2 design
It's thinner! No seriously, Apple has shaved off 1.4mm from the original iPad Air to make the iPad Air 2 just 6.1mm thick - that's the world's thinnest tablet people.
You'll be able to pick the iPad Air 2 up in silver, space grey and the all new gold variant - how exciting.
iPad Air 2 power
The iPad Air 2 houses Apple's new A8X chip created specifically for the tablet, providing 40% faster CPU performance for apps and it claims graphics are 2.5 times faster.
Apple bigged up the graphic performance of its new chip, which means games should look pretty awesome on the Air 2, with the promise console quality graphics.
The M8 motion co-processor also resides inside (just like the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus), plus Apple has stuffed in a barometer as well, because it can.
iPad Air 2 operating system
There's no surprise here, the iPad Air 2 comes running iOS 8.1 - Apple's latest version of its mobile platform.
iPad Air 2 camera
The iPad Air 2 has Apple's new 8MP iSight camera with a f/2.4 aperture plus 1080p video recording and 720p slo-mode video capabilities.
Auto HDR from the iPhone makes the leap to the Air 2, panorama and burst mode are present and there's a macro mode too.
Time-lapse also makes it way onto iPad with the Air 2.
The face time camera on the front is also new, with a f/2.2 aperture to let in more light and it has a HD resolution with HDR built in.
iPad Air 2 Touch ID
It has it. Fact. Apple says its one of the most requested features from users, and with iPad Air 2 its answered those longing for the functionality.
It allows you to unlock the tablet as well as paying for products including through Apple Pay.
Battery and connectivity
Apple is promising up to 10 hours battery life, while new faster Wi-Fi and LTE are also hidden within the iPad Air 2.
In fact the Air 2 supports 20 different LTE bands, more than any other tablet on the market, meaning it should be compatible with your network.
There's plenty to read about the new iPad Air, but seeing is believing. Check out our hands on video with the new tablet below then click through to the next page for all the rumors in the run-up to its announcement!

Hello, My wife wants one of those round hotel lobby sofas for our foyer but I don't know even where to start looking for something like that. Does anyone know?
I think that type of sofa is probably a round or curved sectional.
Something like this (but perhaps in a different color)?
Thanks for the link organic. I think she's wanting a circular bench with a pier in the center like I've seen in hotel lobbies.
I think that may be a custom, built to spec. Since there is such a wide variety in radius dimensions and depth for something like that, I doubt you will find it standardized.
Not all that hard to do, but you have to have to work with a maker that has their own frame shop, such as Taylor King or Leathercraft, or Hancock and Moore. Those that use pre-programed CNC machined frames won't be interested in the job. Best thing to do is draw it out with dimensions, decide what look you want and cover (fabric or leather) then work with someone willing to do that for you and have it submitted for a quote. Depending on size, will be built as a 2-piece unit if small, but more likely as a 3 or 4 piece sectional that will attach to form the circle.

I could have sworn there was a specific name for those things, but I'm having a senior moment. At any rate, the link below goes to a "to the trade only" web site that has a few of them shown under the "banquettes" category. That would at least give you a reference point for a couple of styles.
I found one on the Councill web site. It's not inexpensive.
Good job! I'm a Councill dealer and missed that! <embarrassed>.
Pay no attention to those retail MSRP prices, they're ridiculous and there for designers to show their clients. <rant> One day maybe our industry will put out REAL MSRP prices close to the actual selling price instead of those grossly inflated numbers <end of rant>. You can pretty much take that MSRP and cut it in half (50% OFF) at most retail stores selling Councill.

Duane, I knew that you were a Councill dealer and that you could do better than the MSRP.
I didn't realize that the prices on their site were inflated so much by even normal retail standards.
I truly dislike all this hyper-inflated MSRP the industry does, but the manufacturer's do it under pressure from the dealers. Its old school marketing that I personally think doesn't work with today's internet savvy consumer. For example here's a current ad by a store thats about 35 miles south of mine and they've been running this in the Washington Post:
I look at it and say 'big deal', that's really very close to a normal selling retail for a store that runs a good discount for its customers. I don't think there are many customers that buy off on that any more, but some dealers want that - so the manufacturers do it. <shrug>. I can tell you that you will never see that kind of marketing in my store. I expect my customers to be somewhat up to speed on realistic prices for items and I think they don't need a red sale sign put in their face to know they are getting a good price on something. Once or twice a year I'll have a customer that just HAS to see a SALE sign on something or they can't buy it....so I keep a small stack of them under the counter and tell them to come back in half an hour and it will have a sale sign on it, but the price won't change. <G>

What I like about your work is you really focus on making sure the name is one of the main focal points AND it's always beautiful and cleverly done. Always has meaning too. Something to take note of for newer designers.

Support Group for Families Dealing with Mental Illness
|Related Pages
I am looking for a local support group in the East Bay...particularly Oakland or Berkeley area. I have been to a good one in SF, but it is too far to travel on a regular basis. I am looking to find a group, or even start one myself if there are others on this list who need support as well. If you have a husband or wife who has depression, you know what I am going through. You need a strong support system around you to survive. I haven't been able to find one specific to wives of depressive husbands. Also, one for families with children and one parent who is depressive. trying to find others in the same situation
Our 13-year-old son has a alphabet soup of afflictions (ADHD, bipolar, OCD, ODD, Tourette syndrome and anxiety disorder). When he was little we read scores of books and attended support groups that helped us develop good techniques for working with him, all of this when we lived outside the Bay Area. The older he gets the more apparent it seems that we need new skills. Can anybody in this dialed-in network suggest either helpful literature or support groups? Many thanks. Anon
I have a 4 month old daughter. My husband has a major, long-term, ''treatment-resistant'' depression. He's tried every medication (the list is something like 30 drugs and combinations) including some MAOI's, one of which helped land him in the ER when I was 9 months pregnant. He has heard from everyone that he should exercise, but won't/isn't able to actually do something about it. Ditto with dietary changes, such as cutting down on the wine, coffee, etc. These things contribute to his being overweight, having sleep problems, snoring. He also suffers from migraines. He's been in therapy with his Psychiatrist but he doesn't seem to think it has done anything to help. Bottom line is he's depressed. Often to the point where he is in bed most of the day. I'm looking for some sort of support group for myself. Does anyone know of such a thing in the Bay Area? coping
Editor note: more responses to this question are here: Husband's debilitating depression
Hello all, I am wondering if there are any support groups that meet face-to-face for people with severely depressed siblings or other family members. I've found plenty of online support groups but I'd really like to talk to people in person. Therapy is getting pretty darn expensive and I really want to meet other people who can relate to my situation. My little brother (now 25) has been horrifically depressed since he was about 8 years old; we've exhausted all our emotional, financial, and mental resources trying to help him, and now I just really need help myself. Thanks Katie

Jake Gyllenhaal is a relatively young actor whose character has yet to fit into any predetermined mold. He earned critical acclaim with films like "Donnie Darko" and "October Sky," earned an Oscar nomination for "Brokeback Mountain," and he dabbled in misguided tentpoles with "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time."
But in the last few years, Gyllenhaal has made a business of starring in mid-sized, well-received projects like "Source Code," "End of Watch," and this week's "Prisoners." In the new thriller from director Denis Villeneuve, Gyllenhaal plays an ace detective haunted by his only unsolved case, the disappearance of two young girls.
It was the recent string of strong films that MTV News' Josh Horowitz want to know more about when he sat down with Gyllenhaal at the Toronto International Film Festival, but even to the man himself, the reason is elusive.
"It is a mystery in a way. I've had this privilege of being able to act since I was very young. I had this long career. I'm at the age where I think most of my contemporaries are beginning their career," he said. "I think of it in the same way. I think of it as a beginning too, understanding who you are as a man, understanding who you are as an artist or whatever you do in your life."
Part of achieving that understanding was learning to go with his gut when it came to picking roles. "At a certain time in your life you start to say, 'Yeah, that moves me. I'm into that.' You trust your instinct," he said. "I think all of those instincts become honed. There are a lot of things I'm not afraid of anymore. There are a lot of things that I continue to be [afraid of] and I'm trying to look at."
An example of that is "Prisoners." Gyllenhaal's character, Detective Loki, obviously shares a profession with the character he played in "End of Watch," a similarity that scares away most actors, who are often afraid of repeating themselves. For Gyllenhaal, it just meant that he had to explore the role further. What ultimately helped him make up his mind was a conversation with Villeneuve, who had just directed him in another TIFF film, "Enemy."
"[Villeneuve] offered me this film saying, 'I know this about you. I know you can do this.' I went, 'I'm going to trust this man and this relationship,' " Gyllenhaal recalled. "And this character is so different from the other. Just because he's a cop doesn't mean anything."
"Prisoners" opens in theaters on Friday.

New York, NY Ocean Liner ARIEL Fire, Sept 1908
LIGHTER [sic] AFIRE; SINKS.
Burning Paraffin Cargo Endangers Liner Slavonia and Mail Boat.
Through the burning of a cargo of paraffin on the lighter Ariel yesterday afternoon the Cunard liner Slavonia and the mail carrier Postmaster General were menaced by fire. The lighter had been moored along the north side of Pier 51 North River. On the south side of the same pier the Etruria is lying, and the 394 bags of paraffin had been taken from the steamer and placed on the lighter.
The Ariel, with her load, was ready to be shifted, when one of the men noticed that the craft was on fire. A warning was shouted, and preparations made to get the vessel out into the stream, but the flames spread so rapidly that before this could be done the flames were licking the side of the steamship pier, and the three laborers on board had to scramble off for their lives.
The Postmaster General was lying in front of the lighter and nearer the river. Opposite, across the slip, lay the Slavonia. As soon as the fire was discovered distress whistles were blown, and a tug, shifting a float, dropped her charge and ran in to get a line on the lighter. By that time the flames were shooting and for a brief time it looked as though the pier was doomed.
The Cunard employes[sic] got ready their own fire-fighting apparatus, but before they could do anything the men on the lighter and the tug managed to get a line fast to the blazing Ariel and towed her out into the stream.
Guiding the lighter out between the two vessels was a difficult task, and once the burring boat swung over dangerously near the Slavonia. The fireboats George B. McClellan and the New Yorker came to the Ariel's assistance, and though they put the fire out, the vessel was so badly damaged that she was towed to the Jersey shore, where she sank in the shallow water of Baxter flats. The loss is $25,000.
The Ariel is owned by Hazel S. Waller of 29 Broadway.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

Once in a while comes along a phone that at least some of us so-called reviewers in our very limited wisdom end up calling a game changer. I am making that call for the Asus ZenFone series not because of one spectacular feature, but a nice mix of small things that ends in an incremental experiential difference for the user. I had done a quick first impression review of the Zenfone 5 after spending 24 hours with it. Now, its been almost a couple of weeks and I think I know what this phone is all about.
Display: 5″ 1280*720 IPS+ Panel, Corning Gorilla Glass 3; CPU: 1.6GHz Intel Atom Dual-Core Z2560; RAM: 2GB; Storage: 16GB & 8GB; Connectivity: 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0; Camera: 2MP front, 8MP rear; Battery: 2110 mAh; OS: Android JellyBean 4.3 (will update to 4.4 KitKat); Memory Slot: MicroSD card (up to 64 GB); SIM: Dual Micro SIM card
Asus ZenFone 5 price: From Rs 5,999 for the 4 inch, Rs 9,990 for 5 inch and Rs 16,999 fro 6 inch
DESIGN: The design has the Asus trademark with brushed metal rings and sharp edges. You will like the feel of this phone with the matte finish rear flap and metallic buttons. It is not a flat design, but the slimmer proportions give you the feel of holding a very thin device. Everything on the phone is minimal and nothing cries out for attention.
DISPLAY & AUDIO: I think an HD display is good enough for a regular phone user. And the 5-inch IPS panel on the ZenFone is among the best HD displays around. You just have to see the visualisation on the homescreen when you run your finger through it to fall in love with this one. The viewing angles are good too. While the phone, like most other Androids, is not very loud when you are making a call, the speakers are really loud. The phone also comes with HD audio recording, which I used successfully to create a SoundCloud after a very important meeting.
SOFTWARE: This is an important element of what this phone is all about. For me, the Zen UI is the best Android tweak since the HTC Sense. While the phone is sadly not on the latest Android version at the moment, you will not miss it much. It

GLEN ELLYN, Ill. (AP) -- Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney was in the Chicago suburb of Glen Ellyn today with former House Speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois.
During the appearance, the former Massachusetts governor cast himself as the more reliable conservative in comparison to his rival Senator John McCain.
Romney was in Illinois ahead of the Super Tuesday primaries. The state awards its 57 convention delegates proportional to the winner in each of its congressional districts, so Romney campaigned personally, hoping to claim a share of the prize.
After the Illinois appearance, Romney headed to Missouri.
