Realistikk comes in again with a quick video review of Transformers Masterpiece MP-13b Soundblaster. Watch her put
this hard case through its paces.
Editor in Chief of Action Figure Times
Great review. I have the Hasbro release of Soundwave so I can't justify getting Soundblaster. Love the red eyes on the Takara releases. Wish Hasbro had done the same. With the screw on the back of the head, I tried taking it apart to see if I could remove the eye piece and try to mold one in red. No luck getting it out–eventually it felt like if I pursued it further I was just going to break something.

Steelers' Hampton not worried about contract rumors
Casey Hampton reacted to Internet rumors that the Steelers will release the veteran nose tackle before the start of the regular season.
"Oh, they're going to cut me today?" Hampton said after Tuesday's practice.
If he didn't seem too concerned, neither did inside linebacker James Farrior, who's long benefited from Hampton occupying multiple blockers up front.
"Been nice working with you, dawg," Farrior said, with a laugh, as he left the Steelers' locker room.
Unfortunately for Hampton, Farrior may say something similar to him in the not-so-distant future.
Hampton is one of a handful of starters heading into the final year of his contract, and the Steelers may be finished doing business until after the 2009 season following the signing of defensive end Brett Keisel to a five-year deal Monday.
"If they let me get to free agency, everybody knows what it's going to be," said Hampton, who's made four Pro Bowls. "There ain't nothing to even talk about."
That might be another way of saying that Hampton is out of here if the Steelers don't sign him to a new deal prior to the regular-season opener Sept. 10.
Hampton spouted the same company line that others in his position have said since preseason practice started -- sort of.
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me, but that's part of the business," Hampton said. "But I'm not going to worry about it. I'm not going to make a grudge and say, 'I can't understand why they didn't sign me.' I understand it's a business, but being here this long ... I'm not going to lie and say it doesn't bother me because I do want to be here."
Of course, there's some risk for the Steelers if they choose to sign the 6-foot-1 Hampton, who's listed at 325 pounds, to a long-term deal. He's on the wrong side of 30, and his weight is always going to be a concern.
The risk in not signing him, of course, is trying to find someone to plug into the middle of the Steelers' 3-4 defense. Those players aren't nearly as easy to find as, say, linebackers. His present backup is Chris Hoke.
And Hampton, who turns 32 on Thursday, said he still has plenty of good years left in him.
"Ain't no question in my mind. I know what I'm capable of doing," Hampton said. "I was banged up all last year, played through it, never complained. I'm feeling real healthy this year, and I feel like when I'm healthy ... we're going to see."
But, he added, his contract situation won't become a distraction or a problem for the Steelers.
"Just trying to win a Super Bowl," Hampton said. "Not trying to be complacent like we were last time. Just trying to show these young guys to work to get back to where we were at."

Highgate, London
There is quite a buzz in the world of Gin, but it is important to get this into perspective; the infamous 'Gin-Crazed' London of the 17th Century was home to over 1500 distilleries! Despite the hype, there are still just a handful and the smallest and most quirky must be Sacred.
Sacred was the inevitable result of Ian Hart's forays through Wall Street, the City and not watching enough television. His home in Highgate had an almost redundant front room and he had developed an excellent pallet for Gin (and fine Bordeaux), the blindingly obvious answer was to create a micro-distillery within these criminally wasted square feet of prime Highgate residential London.
In 2008 he put his back into the venture and got on with some serious research tracking the Spice route of the 16th Century and the botanicals essential to fine gin.
The ingredients lined up, all that remained was to find the best way to utilise them and vacuum distillation won the argument since the lower temperatures give fresher and lusher flavours. It may be a little safer too, I'm just guessing.
Sacred. Dry London Gin
Crystal clear. Lush, pine-fresh juniper nose, delicate violet flowers, crushed cardamom pods and cinnamon. Long zesty finish with lingering pine and peppercorns.Learn More
Sacred. Rosehip Cup
Cranberry-like red berry fruit, floral geranium and herbal spice with bark and rooty bitterness. Very fruity compared to a Campari with even greater complexity. Aftertaste: moderately bitter, tart fruit finish.Learn More
Sacred. Spiced English Red Vermouth
Moderately sweet with balancing rooty bitterness. Warmly spiced with notes of cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and herbal complexity, lifted by zesty citrus with a long spicy bittersweet finish with red berry, wine and orange zest.Learn More

Malibu is a home away from home
It hit me as I was brainstorming birthday celebration ideas for my mom: Malibu has become more than just my place of work.
Of course for any nature-loving person, like my mom, Malibu is a great place to hike, swim, explore and do just about anything. But, I realized that my job here has given me insights into some of the lesser known and more scenic places in town.
It's only been six months since I first started my journalism journey in Malibu (some of you might be thinking it seems like far longer, and I whole-heartedly agree), but I feel as if the community has engaged me in such a way that I feel more at home here than I do almost anywhere else.
So, yes, my mom, a backpacking aficionado and outdoor enthusiast, will enjoy the day that I've planned hiking and wine tasting in the Santa Monica Mountains, but even more than that, I'm excited for her to spend time within a place that I've grown to deeply appreciate, both for the reasons that are apparent on the surface and for what lies beneath.
She'll love the ocean views, but what she'll really appreciate is the barista at the local Starbucks who remembers my name and my usual drink order, the occasional MHS parent who will greet me with a smile and a wave around town, or the scenic shortcuts I've learned to avoid beach traffic.
And even if it's only for the day that we spend here for her birthday, I'm sure she'll love Malibu just as much as I do.

Re: Completely Oddball Question (from a Complete Oddball)
Hi again all!
All these bits and pieces of our stories are fascinating, although a bit confusing. If I can ask....
Lisa, what caused you to lose weight in the first place. You said you went on chemo and are gaining weight "back".
Irene, when were you diagnosed? Has anything changed since?
To all/anyone - have you all gotten sick, not been able to eat, on chemo? For how long? Just when dosed, or for a few days, through a whole series? Or is it the cc itself causing the problems?
Anyone on oral chemo? Xeloda? Does that make you sick? My onc seems to think that taking oral chemo is "better" but I'm not sure why... other than "convenience" by not having to go in and be poked, etc. To me, having to take 8 pills a day on a schedule is VERY inconvenient!
I'm currently on Xeloda, and have been since February 08. I take 2000mg, 2x /day. Evidently that's a healthy dose. I've taken Gemcitibine & Carboplatin, followed by Gemcitibine & Taxol - which was the only one that made me feel a little sick and of course lose my hair. Then 16 weeks of no RX, and now, as I said, the Xeloda. None of the chemos caused ANY shrinkage. They ALL seem to cause fatigue.
Irene, If you try a chemo, you don't have to assume it will make you really sick, at least that's not been my experience, and that's one person! Who knows if/how much they have weakened my system though. Each of the intravenous cocktails were stopped after two series (4 or 5 sessions). They were stopped because of no shrinkage and my first onc said to "save" them if they in fact were effective in slowing/stopping growth. But who knows?
The big thing for me was in FEB one of my tumors did grow a bit. I don't remember exactly now, but it was 10ths of a cm. (not a lot). BUT it was the first time I showed measurable growth and that was after almost 4 months with no treatment at all.
I'm beginning to wonder too, as you've mentioned, if I should just stop treatment and see what happens. But, unlike Jeff, I've had no surgery, and I don't know if cutting it out, or most of it, slowed things down, or if it was slow-growing in the first place. Without surgery, I'm more afraid to try it (again). Given that the Xeloda doesn't affect me other than fatigue....
Anyway, my CT scan is next week, so we'll see how that's going. My last CT showed no change, this one will be after 5 months of Xeloda - that should say something! My new onc said I could take a month off if it's still no change, but maybe I can risk a longer period of time, I dunno. I HATE that I've not had 20 yrs of medical training, but I'm the one who has to decide this stuff!

Thursday night, the Detroit Tigers badly needed a win. They had been tattooed in Chicago, allowing a combined 14 runs between the series' first two games.
The offense, meanwhile, wasn't doing enough to compensate for the erratic pitching totals, scoring only two runs the night before and failing to get a clutch hit in the series opener to deliver Detroit a late victory.
Despite that, regardless of the fact that the White Sox' own ace Chris Sale was on the mound, none of that mattered Thursday, because Detroit got a virtuoso performance from Max Scherzer, who may have finally evolved into the stopper for a staff that badly needs one this season.
Justin Verlander used to be that guy, but he cannot be counted on. Anibal Sanchez has potential, but hasn't completely, consistently stepped up, either. Enter Scherzer, who took the mound with a ferocity unseen on Thursday night.
For the first four innings, he kept Chicago–and their mighty slugger Jose Abreu–hitless. The first runner that reached base did so via error. In the process, Scherzer blew away the White Sox' hitters, helping keep Detroit's 1-0 lead afloat.
When the Tigers added insurance in the eighth and ninth innings, Scherzer immediately put it to good use, collecting two strikeouts in his final two innings pitched. He went the distance for his first career complete game, and it was a beauty. Three hits, no runs, eight strikeouts.
Finally, a Detroit pitcher had stepped up and delivered a big time performance when they had to. After a three week string of ugly starts, zeros were what the Tigers needed, and that's what Scherzer provided in loud fashion.
There may no longer be a question of who's the Tigers' ace in 2014. With every erratic Verlander start, every inconsistent performance from Rick Porcello and Drew Smyly and every Sanchez start doomed by an elevated pitch count, Scherzer might be the only one capable of grabbing the ball and mowing down an opposing lineup.
Detroit now needs him to turn this trick consistently. It might be the only thing helping the team through the peaks and valleys which have persisted. It would be a win-win for both parties, as Scherzer could finally look like the big money ace he hasn't been in 2014, while helping the Tigers improve upon their problems and perhaps round back into form.
As it relates to helping the Tigers out of their funk, Scherzer's commanding performance was a loud, fantastic start. Now, it's up to him to run with the stopper role and make big performances a habit again.

MIAMI (Reuters) - A mural by famed street artist Banksy is up for sale at a Miami auction house after the work, and a chunk of the North London wall it was spray-painted on, vanished late last week.
Who owns the mural is unclear, and how it ended up in a Miami auction house shortly after going missing is still a mystery.
Frederic Thut, owner of Fine Art Auctions Miami, which is selling the piece, said his firm has done "all necessary due diligence" to establish the ownership of the work.
"Unfortunately we're not able to provide any information by law and contract about the details of this consignment," he said.
The mural was painted on a building occupied by Poundland Stores, a British retailer that sells various items for only a pound. The work, titled "Banksy: Slave Labor," shows a young boy kneeling at a sewing machine with Union Jack bunting.
It appeared in 2012 during Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, celebrating her 60th year on the throne. The Poundland chain was a focal point of controversy in 2010 when it was alleged that it sold goods made by Indian children as young as seven.
"We lease the premises from a landlord and were as shocked and surprised as anyone at the removal of the Banksy artwork," Kate Gibson, a spokeswoman for Poundland, wrote in an email. "We understand the upset this has caused and in no way do we condone the removal of the artwork without proper consultation with the community."
Gibson didn't say whether Poundland officials have spoken with the landlord and she couldn't provide any details on the property owner.
Meanwhile, the work remains listed on the auction house's website, where it has received three bids and is valued between $500,000 and $700,000. Described as a "unique street work" of "stencil and spray paint on render with additional jubilee bunting," it is due to be auctioned on Saturday.
The elusive artist's trademark spray-paint stencils offering ironic social commentary are never verified, though they are hotly sought after by collectors.
One West Bank mural shows a young girl frisking a soldier who looks to be leaning up against a wall with his arms outstretched. Another is of a man with a bandana wrapped around his face looking as though he's throwing a grenade, though a bouquet of flowers takes the place of the explosive.
"Banksy goes to a property anywhere around the world and he puts something without asking you on your wall," said Stephan Keszler, a New York City gallery owner who specializes in Banksy's work. "People call it vandalism, therefore he's not authenticating the works because this would admit that he made a crime."
Keszler brought more than a half dozen Banksy murals - massive concrete slabs weighing more than 2,000 pounds (907 kg) - to a Miami art fair in December. Two were works he salvaged on behalf of building owners in the West Bank and later bought. The others were owned by collectors whom Keszler was advising on sales.
A group called Pest Control oversees authentication of the artist's works on paper, but the group is almost as elusive as Banksy himself. Keszler said Holly Cushing, a producer of the 2010 documentary about the artist, "Exit Through The Gift Shop," runs the group.
"Did you read one word from Pest Control the work is not a Banksy?" he asked. "The works are not fake, otherwise they would say they're fake."
Pest Control did not respond to a number of emails and calls seeking comment.
Keszler argued that discussion of the issue of who owns the works, their authenticity and whether they should be moved will someday end.
"If a property owner wants to auction this at the auction house, he can do this with his property," Keszler said. "I believe that one day this discussion ... will be over, and then the people who were brave enough to buy those today, yesterday and tomorrow will have made a very good investment."

The statement
"Since 1990, in inflation-adjusted dollars, per-student funding of the (Florida) state university system from general revenue has dropped by about $4,000."
Bob Graham, former governor and former senator, in an op-ed in the April 3 St. Petersburg Times.
The ruling
Graham's numbers came from the Board of Governors, the statewide governing body for the university system.
Kelly Layman, a spokeswoman for the Board of Governors, provided PolitiFact Florida a spreadsheet detailing university funding from the 1990-91 budget to the current 2010-11 budget.
The big takeaway?
The vast majority of dollar-for-dollar increases into the university system are overwhelming the result of increases to student tuition.
In 1990, general tax revenue funded 71 percent of per-student costs while tuition covered 18 percent.
In 2010, taxes funded 49 percent of per-student costs. Tuition covered 40 percent.
In bottom line numbers, taxes funded $5,131 a student in 1990 compared to $5,682 in the current budget. Using the U.S. Department of Labor's online inflation calculator, $5,131 in 1990 dollars is worth $8,688 today.
That's $3,006 less. Short of the "about $4,000" Graham claimed.
We reached Graham to ask him about the difference. Graham told us he calculated the figure a slightly different way. He took the 1990 allocation — $5,131 — and popped it into a compound interest calculator. He factored in 3 percent annual interest growth, and calculated out for 21 years — 1990 to 2011.
The result? $9,626.45. He then subtracted $5,682 (the current funding) to get an inflation-adjusted spending reduction of $3,944.45.
"We should be investing in our students and our universities, and instead we're not," Graham said.
Graham used a compound interest calculator to come to his "$4,000" figure, but that assumes inflation averaged 3 percent per year. According to the Department of Labor, the economy did not grow quite at that rate. That said, he's right that tax dollars are not funding the state university system the way it did two decades ago.
So we rate Graham's statement Mostly True.

He spent 1944 and 1945 with the class B Wilmington Blue Rocks, going 10-9 with a 3.92 ERA in 1944 and 22-6 with a 2.90 ERA in 1945. George was then sent to the Pittsburgh Pirates by the Phillies, as they were once again called, in March of 1946 in a multi-player transaction.
George wound up with the class A Albany Senators in 1946, posting a 7-10 record with a 3.46 ERA and before the 1947 season was sent by the Pirates to the Austin Pioneers of the class B Big State League. George spent three years with Austin (1947-1949), won 48 outings and lost 37, with a 4.15 ERA in 114 appearances.
On April 5, 1950, Estock was purchased by the Boston Braves from the Austin Pioneers and spent the season with the AA Milwaukee Brewers where he won 16 games and lost 8 with a 3.35 ERA, which earned his shot at the major leagues. George spent one full season with the Braves in 1951. He appeared in 37 games, all of them except one in relief. His only start came in the second game of a doubleheader against the Pirates. He pitched creditably enough, giving up 3 runs in 8 innings, but was the loser in what would turn out to be his only big league decision when Cliff Chambers threw a no-hitter against the Braves. George did not see the majors again, finishing up with a 0-1 record with a 4.33 ERA in his 37 appearances. He did manage 2 base hits in 7 trips to the plate for a .286 batting average.
Estock spent 1952 back with the minor league Milwaukee Brewers, winning 6 and losing 3 with a 3.10 ERA. He stayed in baseball until 1955, spending time with the Toledo Mud Hens, Jacksonville Braves, Atlanta Crackers and finishing up with the York White Roses of the Piedmont League in 1955. Estock had spent 13 active seasons in pro baseball and was 30 years old when he chose to retire.
At his retirement he spoke of his introduction to a future Braves Hall of Famer: "I was pitching batting practice to a young kid who was up for a tryout during spring training in 1952. He was hitting me pretty good so I started to put a little extra on the ball, but he just kept it up. He really stood out. I asked him his name, and he answered, 'My name is Hank Aaron.'"
After baseball George spent 28 years as an area supervisor for the Du Pont Corporation in Wilmington, DE, retiring after that to Sebastian, FL. In 1988, he was inducted into the Delaware Sports Hall of Fame. After moving to Florida, he kept active as the pitching coach for Sebastian River High School until his death in 2010. Among the players he mentored there was future major leaguer Bryan Augenstein.

One of the cheapest touch phones
I actually bought this phone purely based on the trust I have on ASUS. I have trust in ASUS mobos and based on that I have bought this. :-)
Although this phone is having keypad along with touch, I rarely use the keypad (not necessary). aah... I used it for the IVR system. It fell down once on the road (while I was standing, not while moving). At that moment I though like......no...I have to take it for repair so quickly, but other than a few scratches, it was fine. So, it is strong enough for users like me. The scroll in the side is very useful. Due to this, we can avoid using the stylus everytime. I haven't used the camera much, but I have taken a couple of photos which are good enough for a 2MP.
I didn't have any problem with the touch till now. Only main problem I had is with the OS. Once the ASUS launcher window didn't appear at all. I tried a lot of times and I thought I have to take it for repair. But rebooting the phone worked. Then I thought, Windows mobile OS also works the same way as Windows OS :-)
Head phones sound is good. They are designed in such a way that they will not fall out of the ear.
The LED blinking on top helps you know the staus of the phone, like....red for charging......green for signal availability etc.,.
Ok folks, thats it. I can't think much. This is my first review for a mobile phone.

I don't know your baby's particular conditions, but "in general" I think on demand nursing and as much kangaroo care as possible will only benefit your child. I have learned over the years to trust my instincts as a mother, and if something "feels" wrong, it usually is.
Make sure you are also pumping to keep up your supply
Wow! Your story is inspiring!
I am wondering if we should try to do bottle feeds, as he takes them great, I have just been afraid he won't go to the nipple if I do. He's still not taking all orally, he's still on the gavage and I am getting pretty frustrated. I have been using an SNS but he still only takes 15-20ccs before he conks out. I think if I left him for longer he would get the full feeding, but I have a 2 yr old and I am pumping too...I just am having a hard time balancing. I have the feeling if I was allowed to wear him all the time and nurse him on demand, he would be taking everything from me. But since I am here and he is required to be hooked to machines, and I need to leave to take care of my ds1, I am stuck with their schedule.
Now they are wanting to supplement my milk with some vitamins, but it's carrier is a petroleum oil! It's crazy what they are trying to give kids.

A STRAY dog who was adopted by kind-hearted animal lovers on a holiday to Greece will be guest of honour at a Wrexham show.
Ghost, an Israeli Canaan dog, has been adopted by Jane and Pete Hardcastle, of Aintree in Liverpool, after they fell in love with her on holiday in Rhodes last month.
The couple spent about £1,000 in vaccinations and other fees in getting her over to the UK.
And now Ghost will be making an appearance at a charity dog show in Brymbo later this month.
Nicola Millar, of Llay, was at the same hotel as the Hardcastles when Ghost showed up just two days into her holiday.
Nicola, 43, said Ghost was underweight and dehydrated when she turned up.
She said: "Ghost stole all our hearts. She is a very distinctive-looking dog and she is quite something to look at.
"She saved two little kittens from falling into the hotel swimming pool by carrying them to safety.
"It took over the whole holiday. I hired a car to take the couple to the vets to get her injections done and the vet said she might even be in the early stages of pregnancy."
After having to wait the required time after her vaccinations, Ghost finally arrived in the UK in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Nicola, who volunteers at Wrexham's not-for-profit animal welfare group the Horse and Owner Help Centre, added: "It's usually horses that I am rescuing and not from abroad, but there was something special about this dog."
The show takes place at Rhos Y Coed Farm, Brymbo, on Sunday, August 31 between 11am and 3pm.

An HD reworking of the original Metal Gear Solid trilogy is on the way to PS3, according to 'insider whispers' heard by the ears of Official PlayStation Magazine.
Is it bad that I've owned a PS1, 2, 3 and PSP but never touched an MGS title? If this is true I think I may take a dive...
Yes...yes that is quite bad. Some of the best games around.
Not bad but very strange?! I've been hoping for this for a while now, this and MGS4 trophy support. Edit: You really are missing out by the way!
count me in MGS1 and MGS3 are the best in the series
This would almost make up for no trophy support in part 4. My trophy list is missing a MGS title. Please be true!
O god cannot wait to play 1 and 3 in high def!!!! http://i53.tinypic.com/bh6p...
on a single disc? I have twin snakes on GC, substance on xbox and never played #3. Be nice to get them all on one bluray.
yep real bad. I already have the old MGS collection with the first three. I guess Ill be getting this one too.
This would be an amazing collection to get, even though I've played all the games. Would love to replay them.
until MGS4 idk how the others was but MGS4 was 1 of the most unique and top games out on the PS3. If i had to make a top 5 list MGS4 would be in there somewhere.
It depends on the time of gamer you are. If you like a complex spy/thriller action drama story then you owe it to yourself to invest time in MGS. Its the type of game that requires a lot of time investment and once you get it its the best there is.
i'm crying now and is begging for MGS4 tropy patch too much?
Just having MGS in HD would be incredible. Hands down my favorite part of MGS4 was the return to Shadow Moses. It's the best game in the series and I would love to go through it again with an updated engine and sound. Hopefully they'll make them all 3rd person instead of being stuck to the overhead camera.
Well I own a GBC, Snes, N64, and a GC but never played a Kirby game and never played a Zelda game longer than 5 minutes.
. And next one is... [Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII Collection]. And [Devil May Cry Trilogy Collection] With [Onimusha Trilogy & Dawn Of Dreams Collection].
It's bad and you should feel bad. (Actually, I've only played MGS1...On PC...)
They could just use the Shadow Moses from MGS4 for MGS1 in this HD collection!!! :D
Lets put it this way, IF THEY DONT MAKE ONE THEY ARE IDIOTS!!!!! You hear me Konami?
I dont care about the first two but MGS3 HD would be awesome!
I want a quadrologie with all 4 games in FULL HD and trophies! This would be a ULTIMATE MEGA EDITION and of course day ONE!
I bought MGS 1,2 and 3 for PS2, and I'll buy them again for PS3 no questions asked!
That's pretty bad Kurisu! On topic: I just want the first MGS reworked and I'm good. The other three are just icing on the cake for me.
I'm really looking forward to A MGS Trilogy HD for the PS3! Hopefully the price is right though.... Now if they could only patch in Trophies into MGS4!
...faint...is it here yet??
Do buy!
This is the Real Treat for fans. One of Console war ending moves by sony.
Metal Gear Solid: WOOOO! Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater WOOOO!
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
True, even though Metal Gear Solid 2 gets alot of hate, I thought it was pretty good, especially with all of the funny easter eggs (Solid Snake locker room poster message with Hal, Olga after the first fight, Fission Mailed lol ). So WOOOO indeed.
If they do, I hope it's the expansion versions (So Substance with all the extra stuff instead of Sons Of Liberty, Subsistence instead of Snake Eater).
Agreed. And who knows - if this becomes true, and they do release Subsistence, maybe Konami will re-open the servers for MGO (the original). I hated when they shut down the servers at that time.

A POCKLINGTON man who subjected his former partner to a violent assault in a York hotel is starting more than three years in jail today.
Gregory Goodall, 23, appeared at York Crown Court yesterday to be sentenced for assault occasioning actual bodily harm, after he pleaded guilty in the magistrates court.
Goodall, formerly of Gus Walker Drive, Pocklington, was branded a "cheap bully" by judge Recorder Simon Myerson, who sentenced him three years and four months in prison.
The court heard that on March 8 this year Goodall and his victim were in a hotel room on The Mount, York. There he punched and kicked her, banged her head against the floor, pulled out clumps of her hair, took off his leather belt and tightened it around her neck.
For Goodall, barrister Julia Harrow said her client did not accept the victim's claims that their relationship had been controlling, but did realise he had a problem with drink, and had sought help in prison. She added: "He has expressed extreme remorse and his full of regret for his actions."
The judge praised Goodall's victim and her friends for their extraordinary composure as they watched the hearing from the public gallery.

HARTLEY Wintney completed a memorable season as they returned straight back to the Southern League Division One, where next year they will lock horns with local rivals Basingstoke and Hook.
The village side won their final game of the campaign by 46 runs at Totton and Eling II, to finish second in the table.
This was after Sparsholt, who had held the position going into the last day of the season, lost at Langley Manor and slipped to fifth.
Hartley were put into bat at Totton and some good solid scoring from the top order of Richard Hill (37), Danny Plume (59) and Ari Karvelas (44) helped them to 181-3.
The side then had a little bit of wobble as they slipped to 197-7, at which point Chris Jolley (24) and George Emery (17) made sure Hartley passed 200, as they were eventually all out for 244.
The Totton reply got off to the worst possible start, as both openers were back in the pavilion with only five on the board, thanks to Jolley (2-12) and Flanders (2-27).
The home side struggled to 42-4, before Nigel Bungay (68) dug in and even if they were well behind the run rate, they had a number of good partnerships.
It was left to captain Jamie Teale (2-50) and Louis Lynch (2-39) to remove the tail, as Totton were all out for 198 and once the news arrived that Sparsholt had lost the celebrations could begin.

Pressure is building on NSW and Queensland to deregulate power prices after the South Australian government unexpectedly decided to scrap retail price controls.
The state will deregulate its gas and electricity markets from February and has settled a feud with power retailer
Power retailers argue that deregulated prices, which already exist in Victoria, will increase certainty, making it easier for them to offer discounts for consumers who commit to long-term contracts, payment by direct debit and pay on time.
Regulated retail contracts do not allow these conditions.
The South Australian government's decision was welcomed by the power industry, which argued that NSW and Queensland, the two big states which still regulate retail prices, should follow South Australia's lead.
"With both Victoria and South Australia fully deregulating energy prices, and NSW now joining Queensland in deregulating prices for large customers using more than 100 megawatt hours of electricity per annum, this demonstrates momentum for all state governments to move towards full price deregulation,"
The South Australian government argued it had delivered a win for consumers. AGL agreed to cut its standard offer retail price by 9 per cent for two years.
This is slightly larger than a discount of 8 per cent that the state government threatened to impose by law.
AGL, which took action in the Supreme Court to block the regulated price cuts, in effect agreed to accept them in exchange for the long-term benefits of price deregulation.
The 9 per cent cut applies only for two years to customers still on a standard regulated tariff, which is about a quarter of the total.
The Queensland Supreme Court is due to rule today on a separate legal challenge by Origin to a similar threat by the Queensland government to drive down retail prices.
Consumer groups say deregulated prices will allow retailers to price gouge, especially in South Australia, where AGL controls 51 per cent of the residential retail electricity market and Origin 49 per cent of the gas market.
South Australian Energy Minister
"From February 1, a market-based system for determining electricity and gas prices will be introduced, underpinned by stronger consumer protection and improved hardship provisions," Mr Koutsantonis said.
The South Australian government has been at loggerheads with AGL since it changed the mechanism for calculating the regulated retail price earlier this year, effectively cutting the price by 8 per cent. In exchange for retail price deregulation, AGL agreed to cut prices by 9.1 per cent for retail customers who are on the officially set standing offer price, and 4.5 per cent for many other customers.
"We look forward to assisting the government to deliver the benefits of deregulation to South Australian families and businesses," AGL managing director
The price cut undoes about half the 18 per cent increase faced by South Australian customers from July this year largely because of rising network costs, the carbon tax and solar costs. South Australia has been less affected by the carbon tax because it has a lot of wind turbines.
Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan said the South Australian decision was in line with changes to energy markets agreed at the Council of Australian Governments meeting this month.
"This decision is a great result for the people of South Australia and will mean greater competition, more choice and lower prices," he said.
NSW will review its market next year as a prelude to deregulation. Queensland has categorically refused because it uses the system to subsidise households in rural areas.

IAS uses the AD for authentication. To quote the article:
"To interface the m0n0wall VPN with Active Directory a user group must
be created and added to the RAS policy. Each user in this group must
also have "dial-in" access enabled. Then the IAS service must be
installed. Finally, a RAS policy & client must be added."
I did not disable outbound NAT in the m0n0wall configuration and it
still works.
It does not take long to setup. Last week, I set it up for a client in
about 30 minutes over RDP (client is in Wisconsin, I am in Texas).

The two words I am are the name of God. As Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explains, "I discovered while reading James Twyman's book The Moses Code that the sounds you will be hearing in this CD were the result of some intense research to reproduce the exact sounds associated with the name of God found in the Old Testament, translated from the original Hebrew as I am that I am.
"It turns out that specific numbers can be assigned to letters. And the tuning-fork sounds you'll be meditating to are the exact sounds ascribed to the letters that comprise the Divine name of God. This has been called the most powerful meditation tool in the history of the world. I encourage you to become open to the idea that these sounds, when accompanied by your own I am mantra, can and will provide you with the ability to live a wishes fulfilled life."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/6/2012 (1893 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I'm just ending an experience with a friend who moved into the spare bedroom of the house I was renting this past fall. I've witnessed first hand that it's possible for some people to have a complete lack of understanding of hygiene. His body odour (BO) would become overwhelming, because he'd NEVER wash his clothes and linens. The unit even has its own free washer and dryer! I know for a fact that he did not use them between September 2011 and April 2012 (and has only done a total two loads since).
He uses deodorant, but feels that since only a handful of people in his life have told him that his personal smell was offensive, it couldn't be that bad.
In fact, it got so bad that whenever he would open his bedroom door the entire unit smelled like an old gym bag, but his reasoning was that past roommates hadn't complained so that there must be something wrong with me. — Disgusted, Winnipeg
Dear Disgusted: I've have just had a barrage of letters on this topic and there seem to be two types of offenders — those who really don't know, and for these people I DO have sympathy. At work, people should tell them immediately. In a large workplace, human resources should be alerted; In a small workplace, a boss should do it. It is part of workplace etiquette and productivity. Amongst friends, someone should privately tell the person who has BO. In a family, it should be said nicely but frankly and parents should bring in different deodorants until it is corrected. Parents should point out to kids going through puberty they can't smell themselves as keenly as other people do, and by the time they do become aware of body odour on themselves, everyone else around is smelling it very strongly. You may be the last person to know but at some point you DO know. Then there are those who have strong body odour, plus unwashed clothes and it's not about poverty. They know, and they simply don't care. This is a different breed; your house mate was one of that group. These people need to be told to clean up their acts directly. Some of them enjoy the secret power of grossing out people and of knowing people are tip-toeing around them like mice, scared to say anything. Some of have been told before that they smell. As for remedies, some people have tried mild deodorants, which have failed. Others have moved on to strong deodorants that have worked around the clock.
Some need to see a doctor for help.
Whatever the case, people need to find a way to get through life without making their friends and fellow workers miserable, and their love partners disappear.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I am wondering what you think of a person who has been widowed and remarried wearing her first marriage's wedding rings as well as the new rings. My thoughts are that the first marriage ended when the husband died and should be removed and kept in a jewellery box. Is this the new common practice? If a couple is living common-law I think it should also apply. — Respect for the New Husband?
Winnipeg Dear Respect: It depends on how the new husband feels. If he is a widower and still wears his old wedding rings too, then they can work something out with different hands. But, in most cases a person should take off the previous wedding rings and put them in a lovely box in the drawer. That's close enough. Sitting on the finger, they are a constant reminder, which is especially difficult if the dearly departed is now considered a saint. Those rings in the drawer can be willed to the children of that union, or give to them earlier to keep.
Please email problems to firstname.lastname@example.com or write letters c/o Miss Lonelyhearts Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., R2X 3B6

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
Why does my boiler keep needing to be reset?
Well that covers a lot of territory. It depends on the make and age of the unit and the type of reset you are having to push. Gas or oil?
It is a gas burner, and I think the make is either Enerjet or Honeywell (I see both names on the boiler). And I am pushing the red reset button on the part of the boiler which has the part that gauges the maximum temperature the water gets to. Hope this helps.
Ok, do you happen to have the model number of the control available?
I am assuming we are going off on a limit. But will know more if I know the control you are resetting.
I would really need the name and number on the control box that has the reset button.
Ok, I think I got the right information this time. It is a Honeywell Manual Reset Aquastat type L4006E, L4008E.
Ok, this is a limit device which can trip on either high or low temperatures. I would see what your boiler temperature is set for and then look at the setting for the reset control.
Example - you have your boiler set at 180 degrees and the reset control set at 190 degrees. The boiler overheats and the reset control trips to shut down the boiler.
Sometimes people will turn up the boiler temperature and not the reset temperature and cause nuisance trips. If this is not the case, I would identify why the boiler is overheating, even if it takes calling a serviceman.
Check the set temperature and the trip temperature.
Where do I find the "set temperature" and "Trip temperature"?
On your aquastat (the unit that turns on the pump and has a thermoprobe mounted in the side of the boiler) will be a "desired temperature setting". The trip temperature is on the reset control you are pushing the red button on.
Your controller with the button should have 2 pointers, one for desired and one for limit. Sounds like you are over shooting the set point. Spread the temperatures different a bit.
You may need a new controller.

Local Politicians Request Delay of Atlantic City Casino Closures
It's a long shot, but somebody is trying.
According to The Press of Atlantic City, 'Local politicians sent a letter Tuesday to the chairman of the Casino Control Commission requesting that the agency delay by months the planned closures of the Showboat and Trump Plaza casinos.'
Obviously, this would keep people working, and hopefully give the city more time for someone to buy one of the properties.
Showboat is planning to close on Aug 31, while Trump Plaza is scheduled to shut it's doors on Sept. 16. The letter states that there isn't enough time "for potential buyers to do the appropriate research that acquisition of either property may require,"
Is this too late? Or, can this give the city a little bit of hope?

The Seminoles open the season against two Division I-AA opponents, a schedule designed to minimize the impact of multiple suspensions: WR Preston Parker for an arrest and 10 key players — DTs Budd Thacker, Paul Griffin and Justin Mincey, DE Neefy Moffett, LBs Dekoda Watson and Mister Alexander, CB Patrick Robinson, TE Caz Piurowski, RB Marcus Sims and WR Richard Goodman — for their involvement in an academic misconduct scandal. That means the Seminoles will be relying heavily on freshmen, redshirt freshmen and walk-ons. That's not to mention a first-time starter at quarterback in Christian Ponder, right. "We're trying to prepare for everything we saw on tape from last year," Catamounts defensive coordinator Matt Pawlowski said. "But it's still an unknown quality going in as to what they're going to try to do and what their mind-set is." Western Carolina opened with a 35-0 win over NAIA Shorter (Ga.) on Aug. 28.
Brian Landman, Times staff writer
Senior TB Antone Smith has underachieved but looked his most dynamic during the preseason. How well he runs, especially behind an inexperienced offensive line, looms large for the Seminoles.

I am a little on the frugal side and sometimes use a Stopped, Splayed, Keyed, and Doweled Scarf Joint if I don't have a piece of 2 by 4 or such the right length. I realize its a timber framing joint and I like to make wood joints, besides to me it adds character to a piece and modern Woodworkers just look at the joints in wonder and scratch their heads.
Does anyone else do this?


text: Nah...To me, I've seen the Olympics as more of a place where sports that require great physical exertion should be featured..As opposed to dart-throwing which to me, is fun to do but how would it be integrated into the Olympics? I mean, besides the accuracy of it, that's to me its biggest selling point....The same goes for other sports such as golf, NASCAR driving and croquet...When those are all put into the Olympics then I think that darts wouldn't have a problem getting in..Till that happens though, nope, no dart throwing in the Olympics. Though I could always be wrong, which is fun.

Jesse James Allegedly Impregnated One of His Mistresses, Because This Story Needed to Get Seedier
Oh, Jesse James; your rampantly prolific libido continues to horrify and entertain us all.
As if the infidelity scandal swirling around Sandra Bullock's husband wasn't already unseemly enough, it's now being reported that the Monster Garage star—who has an aversion to condoms, according to several accounts—impregnated one of his alleged Other Women. According to a source,
"Jesse got a mistress pregnant. Jesse knew about it."
The source goes on to add that, while the mistress made no attempt to hide the pregnancy, James' wife Bullock was unaware that her hubby had planted a baby in another woman's garden. Luckily the media is on hand to inform her of such developments, for which Sandy is surely eternally grateful.
In the end, the unnamed mistress did not have the child, though it's not known why. Which is a shame, because the future is going to need its supply of cheating dogs with a taste for tattooed gutter-trash too, you know.
