The Prairie Stars managed a 2-run lead against McKendree in the first game of the night, but after multiple homeruns by McKendree, the Prairie Stars fell in game two, 8-0.
The first game ended with a 5-2 score. The top of the first inning did not see much action. One hit by McKendree enabled senior infielder Steven Todoschuk to make it to first base. However, two straight outs by the Stars stopped Todoschuk from moving forward.
The Prairie Stars started off the first game with a run in the bottom of the first. Junior Alex Bradley, UIS catcher, managed a fielder's choice that lead to a run by Luke Stewart. Three UIS players remained on the bases after the final out.
McKendree managed one hit in the second inning, but the Stars stopped the team from making any runs with three quick outs. In the bottom of the second, a hit and a stolen base left one UIS player on second at the end of the inning with no runs and no errors.
The third inning saw only two hits by McKendree. Neither team managed a run and no errors were made.
McKendree started off the fourth inning right away with a single by freshman infielder Zach Klockowski. A ground out for McKendree pushed Klockowski to second and a double by Jeff Tolliver enabled him to score. This tied the score at 1-1.
UIS made a quick comeback in the bottom of the fourth. An error by McKendree's shortstop put Nick Sanders onto first base. Sanders advanced to second after a groundout by a fellow UIS player. Sanders scored after sophomore outfielder Lance LeBaron hit a homerun. The score ended at 3-1 after the fourth inning.
Two singles by McKendree were not enough to make a run due to two outs by the UIS defense and a McKendree player striking out swinging.
Blake Baker, a senior catcher/infielder, singled up the middle in the bottom of the fifth. After stealing second base, Baker made it to home plate off of a double by Adam Unes.
The top of the sixth saw no hits, runs or errors. The bottom of the sixth saw a hit by senior infielder Trevor Johnson. This put him into scoring position and a sacrifice fly by Stewart added another run to the Stars' score.
The top of the seventh saw two runs by McKendree, coming from Todoschuk and Klockowski. Prior to Todoschuk's hit, freshman outfielder Jay Roberts was hit by a pitch and moved to second. Senior Tony Kossina made it to first off of a fielder's choice. Roberts was called out at second from a play by UIS' defense. Todoschuk then homered, pushing himself and Kossina home. This added two more runs to their score. The Stars finished out the top of the seventh with two more outs.
The second game of the evening saw strong offense by McKendree. No runs were made in the first or second innings and only one hit was made.
The game picked up in the third inning. A single by junior infielder Jake Kline sent Grant Anderson home. McKendree was unable to add any more runs in the third. McKendree grabbed three straight outs against UIS hitters, sending the game to the fourth inning.
A homerun by junior infielder Pierce Borah scored two runs for McKendree. UIS was able to make two more outs and close the inning after that, leaving one player on base.
UIS came up to bat in the bottom of the sixth and achieved one hit and two players made it on base after getting hit by pitches. The inning ended with three men on base and no runs.
Todoschuk crossed home plate after a fielder's choice enabled junior outfielder Kyle Rutledge to reach first base. The Stars closed the inning with a double play. The score after the top of the fifth was 4-0. The Stars made no hits in the bottom of the fifth.
The top of the sixth saw an RBI by Kossina, the run was scored by Borah and it was unearned. McKendree shut down the Stars in the bottom of the sixth with three straight outs.
A homerun by Rutledge added three more runs to McKendree's score. Rutledge, Klockowski and Kline all crossed over home plate after the homer.
The rest of the game saw a few hits, but no runs were made, ending with an 8-0 score.

Nice Design but I think this geek guy has been overused.
I like the look of the site. I too think the geek stock photo takes away from the quality of the site, however. Seen too many times. But hey, it fits the homepage, and looks good, so i can see why it is the chosen centerpiece. great looking site overall.

JCDI, Lilburn, GA
Dear John,
We're halfway through the year and it looks like we may actually surpass our projections of 40% sales growth over last year. I know we could not have survived this incredible growth without your advice and support. Or at least we wouldn't have survived with our sanity intact.
This is a 'Thank You' note. You've been taking care of me and my company for close to four years now, and without thinking real hard, I can come up with about $400,000 you've saved me. Personally, you got me a tax refund of $3,000 that I didn't expect, plus you got the IRS to waive $15,000 worth of penalties. Your advice on estate planning will save me and my heirs at least $200,000. For my company, you established a $35,000 credit line at a great rate because you managed to get three banks clamoring for our account. And best of all, you converted this company to an S corporation, saving us about $150,000 in taxes this year.
You've answered all my questions in English, in a way I could understand. You've talked to me as a person with a business, not a client with a checkbook. You've taken the time to get to know me, my business, and the way it all fits together. You've removed my burden of paper work and form filing and unbalanced ledgers and allowed me to concentrate all my energy on product development and increasing our sales. In short, your thoughtful attention to this company has made it possible for us to grow.
Again, thank you for your guidance. We really couldn't have done it without you! Sincerely, Kim B., Business Manager

"The Glorious Soups and Stews of Italy"
By Domenica Marchetti
(Chronicle Books, $19.95)
What it is: Despite the huge number of Italian cookbooks out there, author Domenica Marchetti's effort stands out with its focus on soups and stews--a subject she said "gets short shrift" in Italian cooking. "But if you go to any restaurant in Italy, there's always a wonderful selection of soups," she said. "It's this heart of Italian cooking that has been overlooked."

Why Country Music Was Awful in 2013
I am taking this one straight out of Rita Ballou's book, it was just too good not to share. It's comedic, ruthless and so true. I'm not super enthused with mainstream country, nor am I usually one to poke fun at it, but this gave me a good chuckle. Country music has come a long way to get….here? SMH

Someone in this group brought to my attention the 26th and 27th verses of Romans I. I wanted to know what the concordances had to say about it and was hardly surprised to find the following web site commentary, which contradicts itself in the first few paragraphs: http://carm.org/romans-1-26-27-homosexuality. Of course, anyone in the thrall of the most contradictory book in human history can be expected to employ contradictions in writing about it. But this one is just downright ludicrous. Anytime someone goes on about "natural" vs. "unnatural" when discussing human sexuality I find my eyes rolling like bowling balls. Ditto, "normal" and "abnormal." To me, if a person can do it, it is natural. The acts of Jeffrey Dahmer were natural. Use of "normal" is fraught with problems, beginning with the question, Who says what's "normal"? No, I am not willing to say that Dahmer was normal. But, then, that's just me and a few other people.

Interesting, James. In another string someone just recently put forth "It's unnatural" as a non-religious argument against the love that dare not speak its name. I think that's wrong. What would it even mean that it's unnatural? Unless the claim is that gay people are not products of nature in the same way that straight people are, which is patently ludicrous, I don't see how it could have any meaning whatsoever aside from resting on the Bible.
I think the guy who used it, he claimed to be an atheist, meant that being gay is a choice. Of course that STILL would fall under "natural"
I actually welcome the "unnatural" argument, a holdover from British laws referring to homosexuality as "the unnatural vice," and certainly what the great social critic Lord [Richard] Buckley meant in his side-splitting "hip" comedy routine on "The Bad Rapping of the Marquis de Sade"; in depicting "the Mark's" "buddy-cat, Prince Minsky," as "the baddest cat there was," Buckley showed the prince seducing a maiden and employing buggy whips to enhance the effect, all to the cries of the poor lass, "No, stop, it's goin' against nature!"
My argument is like yours: if it can be done, it is natural. It can only be labeled "unnatural" on the basis of human casuistry, the resort to dogma to "prove" something as "fact." In any case, what does the person arguing "unnatural" do to get up in the morning? Digital alarm clocks are unnatural. Drive to work or ride a train or bus. Unnatural. What is nature today unlike nature in the 4th century BCE (earliest the Buy Bull could have been written). Did the xenophobia of the Sodomites toward desert nomads seeking the comforts of your home (including use of wife or child) get mistranslated into a condemnation of same sex persons? Did the injunction against homosexuality in Leviticus alone get selected from other items in the cafeteria, such that beardless men like Rick Santorum can condemn marriage equality even as he devours his lobster? Can an orthodox rabbi sneak some Louisiana mud bugs cause they aren't from salt water?
Some time back on another board I wrote a piece which opined that "natural" is a PERSONAL concept, and that the more someone attempts to generalize natural behavior, the smaller that set of behavior will become and the less certain elements of that set will universally apply.
For openers, I am bisexual. It is natural for me to be attracted to sexual activity with men or women Because That Works For ME. For others, it might not work at all. It's natural for me to enjoy spicy food, while others may not care for it. It's natural for me to enjoy certain kinds of movies, music and activities, some of which may be shared by others and some not.
Meantime, the bible wants to assert what is natural by dictate, rather than by acknowledgement of personal preference or genetic predisposition, with its only justification being Because It Says So, without further explanation. More than likely, such a position reflected the point of view of a very few select persons (doubtless all male) than considering the wider population and, as has been observed multiple times here on A|N, was aimed not at liberating people or allowing to discover who they are, but at Controlling Them.

Strategic Divisionalization, Product Differentiation and International Competition
In this note we construct a simple international differentiated duopoly model that involves a divisionalization decision. It will be shown that the number of third market divisions of a parent firm with a cost advantage is relatively large. The results imply that the cost competitiveness of one country's firm will be magnified through divisionalization decisions.

Maps are changing. They have become important and fashionable once more. Rethinking Maps brings together leading researchers to explore how maps are being rethought, made and used, and what these changes mean for working cartographers, applied mapping research, and cartographic scholarship. It offers a contemporary assessment of the diverse forms that mapping now takes and, drawing upon a number of theoretic perspectives and disciplines, provides an insightful commentary on new ontological and epistemological thinking with respect to cartography.
This book presents a diverse set of approaches to a wide range of map forms and activities in what is presently a rapidly changing field. It employs a multi-disciplinary approach to important contemporary mapping practices, with chapters written by leading theorists who have an international reputation for innovative thinking. Much of the new research around mapping is emerging as critical dialogue between practice and theory and this book has chapters focused on intersections with play, race and cinema. Other chapters discuss cartographic representation, sustainable mapping and visual geographies. It also considers how alternative models of map creation and use such as open-source mappings and map mash-up are being creatively explored by programmers, artists and activists. There is also an examination of the work of various 'everyday mappers' in diverse social and cultural contexts.
This blend of conceptual chapters and theoretically directed case studies provides an excellent resource suited to a broad spectrum of researchers, advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in human geography, GIScience and cartography, visual anthropology, media studies, graphic design and computer graphics. Rethinking Maps is a necessary and significant text for all those studying or having an interest in cartography.

The AMAZINGLY INSTRUCTIVE and easy to comprehend videos can be contributed directly to the professionalism and expertise of the STREAMINGTEACHER team! The videos are an excellent teaching tool.Bob Delgatto, Chris Rizzo & Jeremy Haage are fantastic teachers!It really turned a formidable task of learning something that I feared would be extremely complex, into a fun, easy to learn process that i am simply addicted to.

Streamingteacher is the best way to get the training you need and when you need it. Forgot how to do something, it is there as a refresher course. New release of Mastercam, it's a great way to get familiar with it. I love Streamingteacher as an instruction guide as well as a reference for all the things you cannot remember or forget.

The certification courseware on Streamingteacher helped me as a student to gain the knowledge on how to use Mastercam. The material was well presented, and the instructor is excellent, helping to answer all of the student questions clearly. I work for the R&D department at Acumed making programs for machines such as Trunnion 5X mill, lathe, wire EDM and Swiss machine. I recommend Streamingteacher's Certification program to others as I have found it to be very helpful.

I am a High school instructor of Manufacturing/Engineering. As I am not new in the trade, I am always trying to be aware of opportunities to make the job of teaching a more exact science.
Having a history of taking Mastercam classes I feel that Streaming Teacher is one of the most effective teaching techniques I have encountered. In contrast to traditional lecture/tutorial classes, I enjoyed that I could set my own pace, a pace that worked well for me and the type of day I was having, and still finish up with all the material. The fact that I could look at the segments and then go back and study them when the curriculum presented a need for that segment of information was absolutely perfect for my learning style. The ability to "REWIND" a short instant and retrieve that specific piece of information was invaluable.
Overall, Streaming Teacher Mastercam has been a wonderful learning experience. The fact that I have learned new Mastercam methods as well as new teaching techniques is a terrific bonus. My instructor Mr. Delgatto was very supportive and more than fair when I misunderstood a technical point of an assignment. He was quick with a explanation and support. As far as grading work, part of it was automatic, but the remainder was returned quickly while that interest in the assignment was still high.
Streaming Teacher was easy to manage and navigate. Very good to keep projects in order and separated. Instruction was at a very high level of quality. I wish I could afford to use this system for teaching my students and just let myself out of the loop.
I would like for you to be able to use me and my thoughts to recommend this teaching platform for others that are not sure of this alternative approach to learning.

When you are under the gun to get a job programmed and then do the set-up you rarely have the time to just stop and figure out the new program. Streamingteacher's video lessons have enabled me to watch a lesson on only what I need to learn. The lessons are short and quick to the point. I have learned more about Mastercam in a few short lessons than I could have ever learned from the books.

Streamingteacher has been a great resource for helping me have a better understanding of the power and versatility of Mastercam. I recommend Mastercam and Streamingteacher to everyone that will listen!!!

Overall I was very pleased with the courseware offered and would recommend it to others. It was very helpful to me. I liked the format. It was easy to use and could be referred to anytime and repeated as needed.

Streamingteacher is the genuine thing! You cannot learn more from any on site training facility as you can obtain from Streamingteacher. Streamingteacher allows me to train in the comfort of my home any time and allows me to go back and refer to sessions that I might have not understood the first time. Keep up the good work! I would like to take this opportunity and thanking you for courseware that is well presented and very professionally done. Well Done!

I live over 100 miles away from the nearest reseller and training, so this class was a lifesaver for me. I have used most of the training books and would say Streamingteacher is much better than any of them.

Streamingteacher puts Mastercam far above any other CAM software I have used.

I have used and will continue to use Streaming Teacher at work and at home. The personalized training that you can accomplish at your own pace is like a private tutor sitting next to you. Streaming Teacher is always growing, which makes it a valuable resource in our engineering group. Questions that come up from time to time in technique and the helpful tips that are shared are only a mouse click away. The interactive ability of Streaming Teacher to stop and replay any portion of the lesson has made it a flexible tool. I would say that it is the most innovative way to learn Mastercam. I would recommend this to anyone that is a first time user or an experienced user of Mastercam.
Kevin Lenker
Hanard Machinery - Portland, Oregon
I used Streamingteacher in the evenings at home to be prepared for things that I know are coming up at work in the next couple of days. I have books for Mastercam, but Streamingteacher is much better because you can hear, as well as see what is happening. I use Mastercam for complex parts on ProtoTrac machines. It saves me a lot of fat finger time, and mistakes. I would recommend this program to all who wish to learn Mastercam at their own pace.

An electrician and a plumber both meet and fall for the same woman at a London Underground station one day. But when one wins her affections, the other is unwilling to give up without a fight.
The astute use of montage, chiaroscuro lighting and subjective perspectives brings a touch of visual sophistication to sophomore Anthony Asquith's silent melodrama centering on a love triangle involving an electrician, a shop girl and a Tube station attendant.
Treated to a typically slick restoration by the BFI, Asquith's subterranean melodrama is a fascinating journey back in time.

This week, Gordon discusses the key week ahead for the financial markets including the FOMC meeting, the employment report and the first reading of second quarter GDP. Looking at the interest rates, the treasury market has been trading in a tight range due to technical levels. After the ten year yield reached an Intra-day high in early July, the yields fell 25 basis points as various Fed Governors stated their intentions to keep the monetary policy accommodative for now. The week concludes with the employment report.

Royalton outlasted Long Prairie-Grey Eagle (LPGE) 14-13, Friday, topping the host Thunder in eight innings.
With the game tied 11-11 after six, the Royals brought in two runs to take a 13-11 edge, only for LPGE to tie the score to force extra innings.
Royalton came right back in the top of the eighth, picking up the eventual game-winning run when senior Lexie Lehrke drove in sophomore Katelyn Kassela with a sacrifice fly.
Freshman Haley Olson then held off LPGE in the bottom of the inning to preserve the lead and record the win.
Junior Hannah Fussy went 4-for-5 with a run, senior Amy Vannurden had three hits with two RBIs and sophomore Jacquline Nichols had three hits and knocked in a run to lead Royalton.

DETROIT - The way temps are climbing midday, we could very likely see 80 degrees this Thursday afternoon. Areas north of 8 Mile may only hit the upper 70s, but many of your neighborhoods will be warmer with plenty of sunshine. Don't forget the sunscreen to apply and reapply because it is an ideal day for the pool or lake. The focus of this forecast is an increase in temperatures, humidity, and the chances for storms this weekend.
Friday is the first day of Summer 2013 and we will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy with highs in the low to mid 80s. You will start feeling the muggy air coming in with SW winds 7-12 mph. There will be some strong thunderstorms across Lake Michigan that we will watch closely. But, there is only a slight chance for a few isolated showers with the heat of the afternoon on Friday. Most of the rain will be across western and northern parts of Lower Michigan.
Saturday and Sunday both show signs of reaching near 90 degrees. It will be a humid weekend with highs 85 to 90 degrees both days with scattered showers and storms. Storm clouds can form quickly in this unstable weather environment. Right now, we are not under any risks for severe weather. That certainly could change but we want you to keep all of your outdoor plans as only about 30% of our viewing area will see rain and thundershowers this weekend. Just be prepared for a possible brief delay in your plans.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thank you for the quick response!
My question is how would I value the higher court verses the small claims court choice? If the medical bills end up being around $5,000.00 would it be a smarter route to obtain a judgement such as bank levy or wage garnishment in small claims court without the attorney fees verses a higher court even if the reward is greater plus attorney fees?
Note: Can you sue for pain and suffering in small claims court?
I do believe they acted in concert as the Asian man repeated to his friends, "Watch what we will do when he stands up" as we ordered drinks before trying to walk past them. It seems this depends upon their net worth and assets within their names I assume brings baring to which court to choose?
Who should I contact to help make this decision? I a personal injury lawyer, criminal lawyer or small claims advisor?
I will be pressing charges in the criminal department as soon as someone is assigned my case next week.
Note: I never threw any punches or retaliated. The bar staff was grabbing the two guys during that time and I just walked outside unaware I was bleeding.

HAGATNA, GUAM – Police on the Pacific island of Guam have beefed up patrols in the wake of the Feb. 12 rampage by a 21-year-old local man at a key tourist spot that left three Japanese tourists dead and 11 other people wounded.
Guam police Chief Fred Bordallo Jr. said in an interview Wednesday that more personnel have been deployed in the Tumon area to conduct patrols from midafternoon to the early morning hours.
"The precinct commander there assured me they will be coordinating with the hotel and restaurant association and the Guam Visitors Bureau. The police can't do it alone. We always need the community's help," Bordallo said.
Of the 306 officers with the Guam Police Department, 36 are assigned at the precinct that covers the crime scene area, Bordallo said.
Bordallo said the intensification of the security measures was the police department's own initiative.
"We're confident that with the strategic presence our department has initiated in terms of increasing police presence and coordinating with private security and organizations down there, our tourists are going to be protected and they're going to be safe. And we're really making an intensive effort to ensure that," Bordallo said.
In an earlier interview, Antonio Muna of the Guam Visitors Bureau expressed hope that tourists from Japan will continue to visit Guam despite the tragedy. Japan has been Guam's No. 1 tourism market for many years up to 2012, and tourism is the island's No. 1 industry and source of employment.
Bordallo said the intensified security measures will also benefit tourists from South Korea, Taiwan and other points of origin, as well as locals.
Bordallo said showing more police presence is only normal following an "anomaly" like last week's vehicular and stabbing attack.
Meanwhile, Bordallo said the investigation against the assailant, Chad Ryan De Soto, is continuing with the support of the FBI.
"The FBI is assisting us because they know that the next step we're looking at, and the complexity of this, is this individual's mentality," Bordallo said.
He added that terrorism and the direct targeting of Japanese nationals have already been ruled out as possible motives in their initial investigation.
The objective of the continuing probe, in tandem with the FBI, is to have additional "investigative information that gives a little more background" of De Soto, said Bordallo.
Court documents allege that after his arrest, De Soto stated that he "intended on hurting as many people (as possible) with his vehicle initially and subsequently with his knife."

Eight years ago, organizers of the fledgling Vietnamese International Film Festival didn't know if their new gathering would attract enough of a following to continue for a second go-round. Volunteers screened three new feature-length films over the course of two weekends.
Eight years later, the fifth biennial Vietnamese International Film Festival has launched, and the film fest is bigger than ever. Presenting 67 short and feature-length films from around the world, the festival kicks off Thursday at Edwards University Town Center 6 in Irvine with the Southern California premiere of "Saigon Electric." The festival, which runs through Sunday, will reconvene April 14-17 at UC Irvine, the Bowers Museum, and UCLA. Organizers expect more than 4,000 to attend.
"It's growing a lot," said Ysa Le, co-founder of "ViFF," as participants call it, and co-director of the festival since 2005. "I'm kind of scared, thinking about how fast it's grown. The number of films is growing. We received 100 entries, which is a record. We didn't foresee any of this when we started."
ViFF – produced jointly by the Vietnamese American Arts and Letters Association and UCLA's Vietnamese Language and Culture club – has expanded to become the largest Vietnamese film festival in the United States, and possibly outside Vietnam.
For volunteer organizers such as Le, it's part of fulfilling the dream of bringing Vietnamese arts and culture to a broader audience.
For filmmakers such as Stephane Gauger, who grew up in Orange County, ViFF has been an opportunity to screen works early in front of a supportive audience and network with other filmmakers.
"I'm a big supporter of ViFF," said Gauger, who wrote, directed and shot "Saigon Electric" – a drama about the emerging hip-hop and break dancing scene in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). "Ysa, who runs the festival, is just a pioneer and a champion of promoting Vietnamese culture."
In recent years, the film fest has become a key platform for the Viet film wave, or "Viet wave" – a movement of young filmmakers who have issued several new films in the past few years and have collaborated on a number of projects together. Participants in the "Viet wave" have even started their own distribution company, Wave Releasing.
Gauger's film "Saigon Electric" will be part of Wave Releasing, as have his previous films, "Vietnam Overtures" and "Owl and the Sparrow." So instead of waiting for a big Hollywood studio to market and release it, Gauger and his colleagues will screen his new movie in Vietnamese theaters and roll out a limited theatrical release in the U.S.
"It's a film for a niche audience," said Gauger, a Cal State Fullerton graduate who now lives in Huntington Beach. "We'll have a small release in a regional market. It makes sense, because if you're only releasing a film in six to seven cities, you don't need millions from a big Hollywood studio."
Do it yourself – it's one of the critical lessons Gauger and his friends have learned as the means of film distribution are rapidly changing.
The theme for this year's film festival is "Reel Momentum," which reflects the fast and steady movement of Vietnamese movie-making by both established and emerging filmmakers.
As it did in 2009, the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana is offering two free days of screenings: one for senior citizens on April 8, the other for high school students on April 15.
Other highlights from the film festival include the U.S. premiere of "Mother Fish" on April 9 at UC Irvine, with a spotlight award going to writer/director Khoa Do; the action film "Clash," starring Thanh Van Ngo and Johnny Tri Nguyen, April 14 at UCLA; a sneak preview screening of "Touch," a film about the Vietnamese women who work at nail salons, April 16 at UC Irvine; and "Floating Lives," a drama starring Dustin Nguyen, April 17 at UC Irvine.
"Bi, Don't Be Afraid," a contemporary romantic drama directed by Phan Dang Di, will close the fest at 7:30 p.m. April 17, followed by a closing night gala at the Humanities Gateway building on the UCI campus.
Minh Duc Nguyen, the writer, director and editor of "Touch," says his screening will be an opportunity to see how a local, primarily Vietnamese American audience responds to his first feature film.
"I always wanted to make a movie that takes place in the nail salon," said Nguyen, 39, who picked most of his cast from actors, singers and actual manicurists who reside in Orange County. "Seventy-five percent of the salons are owned and run by Vietnamese, but we never had a movie about them before. I thought it would be an interesting place to do a movie. The workers talk in Vietnamese among themselves, but interact with American customers from all walks of life. I'm curious about the feedback, because this sort of movie has never been seen before in the Vietnamese community."
For young filmmaker Jenny Trang Le, ViFF 2011 is a sort of homecoming. She started as a festival volunteer in 2003, then became an associate director. Through the festival, she met several directors and became an assistant director on a number of projects.
Le (no relation to Ysa Le) has spent much of the past few years filming in Vietnam. But she'll be back for this festival, having worked as an assistant director in "Clash" and "Bi, Don't Be Afraid."
"In terms of filmmaking and other Asian Americans, Vietnamese Americans are very new to the scene," she said. "Before, nobody knew of each other. Now, we're supporting each other and seeing our own stories on screen. To see our community making films is very inspiring."

The director of the Right On Programs denies rumor suggesting the actress isn't taking her court-ordered punishment seriously.
The director of Lindsay Lohan's alcohol education program has dismissed claims the actress isn't taking her court-ordered punishment seriously, branding the "Mean Girl" star "positive and receptive" in class. The 23 year old is completing the course as part of her probation from an incident in 2007 when she pleaded guilty to cocaine use and no contest to drink-driving and reckless driving charges.
She's due to appear before Judge Marsha Revel at Beverly Hills Courthouse in Los Angeles later this week, and some insiders have claimed that Lohan hasn't attended all her necessary classes - which could result in a jail sentence.
But in a new report, obtained by TMZ.com, the director of the Right On Programs is adamant Lohan is a model student - after a shaky start. In Lohan's latest progress report, Cherie Marshall reveals, "In the beginning, she struggled with consistency and punctuality in attending her scheduled activities. We returned her case to court for failing to obtain a leave of absence for a work-related trip."
"(Now) her attitude is positive and receptive to ideas regarding lifestyle changes. She has never come under the influence, been rude or disrespectful. (Lohan) attends regularly and consistently communicates in a timely manner to reschedule if necessary. At this time, Lindsay is in program compliance."

#3: Overweight International Stocks
This recommendation, like investing in dividend stocks, is not exactly a perfect hedge. In addition to regular equity risk — beta, if you will — you also introduce currency risk into the mix.
Still, I'm OK with this for two reasons.
First, there is valuation. As I wrote recently, overseas markets are, for the most part, significantly cheaper than the American market. As measured by the cyclically adjusted price/earnings ratio (or CAPE), the United States is the second-most expensive market in the world today, second only to Sri Lanka of all places. Now, to be fair, the U.S. market probably deserves a premium valuation over the rest of the world given its high reporting standards and its liquidity and breadth. but it shouldn't be nearly double the level of the U.K. or France, which is where it is today. The U.S., U.K. and France sport CAPEs of 25.44, 13.61 and 14.04, respectively.
Diversification is important too. Even without the yawning valuation gap, investors should keep a decent-sized chunk of their portfolio in nob-U.S. assets. We live in a global economy, and U.S. stocks only make up about a third of global market cap.
One reason that U.S. stocks outperformed last year was a belief that the U.S. economy was the "cleanest dirty shirt." Growth here wasn't great, but it looked better than Europe and most emerging markets. While these conditions are still true, it's hard to believe that they are not already priced in. Meanwhile, Europe and emerging markets beckon …

Potomac, MD – Stanley Karnow, a long-serving reporter in the Vietnam War and a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist, has died. He was 87.
According to son Michael Karnow, his father passed away in his sleep on Sunday at his home in Potomac. The cause was reportedly congestive heart failure.
Stanley Karnow was born in Brooklyn in 1925. During the Second World War, he served with the United States Army Air Forces in Asia. His career in journalism began in 1947 when he graduated from Harvard with a bachelor's degree. From there, Karnow went on to attend the Sorbonne in Paris and, from 1948 to 1949, the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris.
In 1950, he became a Paris-based correspondent for Time magazine, and, after a period spent covering Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, he headed for Asia, where he carved a distinguished and influential career in war journalism.
Karnow covered Asia from 1959 until 1974 for Time, Life, the Saturday Evening Post, the London Observer, the Washington Post, and NBC News. He was covering Vietnam in July 1959 when the first American deaths were reported and remained in the besieged country for the duration of the war. His constant presence in Vietnam would see Karnow added to the master list of Nixon political opponents.
In the years following the war, Karnow published Vietnam: A History (1983) and In Our Image: America's Empire in the Philippines; the latter would go on to win the Pulitzer Prize for History. He also became chief correspondent for the PBS series Vietnam: A Television History, a production which scooped six Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award, a George Polk Award and a DuPont-Columbia Award.
In the clip below (posted to YouTube by his son, Michael), Karnow discusses his relationship with the CIA during the 1960s when the journalist was based in Vietnam.

When Lent and Spring Training Coincide
A very early date for Easter this year means that Ash Wednesday coincides with the start of baseball's spring training season. What's the connection? Well, let's see. Baseball bats are made of ash. OK, a stretch. In Chicago long suffering Cubs fans can certainly understand the sentiments of the Ash Wednesday liturgy as they face yet another season of alleged rebuilding: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return!" All right, an even bigger stretch, though funny in a grim sort of way.
Historically Lent was a time for new Christians to prepare for the rites of initiation. It was a time of humbling, of re-learning our ultimate dependence on Jesus Christ, of turning our pretensions and egoisms to ashes and to dust, of engaging in the spiritual disciplines that remind us that we are ultimately God's inventions, not the creators of our own destiny. Lent puts us in our place – not Creator, but creature, but also beloved, chosen. From Christianity's early centuries Lent formed and continues to forms communities of practices ancient in their origin yet contemporary in their power – prayer, hospitality, sabbath, justice.
When former Cubs player Ryne Sandberg was inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame, he said this:
"These guys sitting up here [in the Baseball Hall of Fame] did not pave the way for the rest of us so that players could swing for the fences every time up and forget how to move a runner over to third. It's disrespectful to them, to you, and to the game of baseball that we played growing up. Respect. A lot of people say this honor today validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation. I didn't play the game right because I saw a reward at the end of the tunnel. I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do, play it right and with respect. . . . If this validates anything, it's that guys who taught me the game did what they were supposed to do and I did what I was supposed to do."
Sandberg describes being incorporated into a community, an institution, where attention to disciplines practiced and evolved over generations evokes the good, the true, and the beautiful. Individual gifts and effort count, to be sure. But it's a community where the discipline of humbling oneself with deep respect to the institution of baseball itself is what matters most. "I received what was handed over to me," the apostle says. It's about faithful honoring of tradition rather than invention and short cuts.
This is a long way from the steroid soaked world of much of modern sports. Similarly, Christian faith as we ought to practice it is a long way from the culture of self-absorption, self-invention and self-aggrandizement so prevalent around us. Ash Wednesday's countercultural message is that while we are assigned in creation to a profoundly important and blessed place, it is ultimately a profoundly dependent place. The imposition of ashes marks us as practitioners of ancient and enduring disciplines, making visible the mark of baptism once placed on that same forehead. We belong to God, not to ourselves; it is in the community of faith stretching back through time and out through space that we take our proper place.
The famed baseball player said it well: "I did what I was supposed to do." That's really what Lent is all about as well – learning again to live as we're supposed to live.

Neil deGrasse Tyson
It does no good to say what the Bible "really" meant, if its actual influence on human behaviour is something else.

At the door.
A Christian once came to my door,
He told me all about the stuff his church had on that week,
I listened for once, I normally just tell to them to get fucked.
He invited me to go to something that Friday that didn't sound too shit.
On Friday I drove out to the house hosting the gathering.
As I was going in I saw the same guy, who had come to my door, pull up in his car.
"Hi." I said, happy to have someone to walk in with.
"Hi..." He said with a look that screamed "who the fuck are you and why are you talking to me"
"Hi..." He said with a look that screamed "who the fuck are you and why are you talking to me"
I made a comment about the weather and followed him into the house.
I sat through the gathering in silence.
I think two people spoke to me.
"Hi, how are you?"
They didn't seem to listen to my answer.
I left at the end and that was it.
Never heard from them again and never went back.
Christians still come to my door sometimes.
I just tell them to get fucked.

This is why we can't be friends
Having spent the last 3 month completely avoiding Church, "Christian conversations", God blogs, Christian writings or well... anything "churchy"... I slipped today and read through a blog post and comment section of a blog I use to read about another blogger I use to read (i.e. two Okayish people) and well all I have to say now is:

Matthew McConaughey's Beach Babes
Matthew McConaughey brought his children Levi, 2, and Vida, 1, for a day of fun in the winter sun in Malibu, California, on Sunday.
Both children wore matching white diapers, although it was his daughter Vida who seemed to hog most of the parental attention. This was most apparent when the elder McConaughey lowered her down toward the water face-first for a feel of the chilly Pacific water.

How did 'The Undisputed Truth' come to be?
A good friend of mine, Kerwin DeVonish, called me up. "Spike," he said, "I just saw Mike Tyson." I said, "Doing what?" He said, "He was on stage … it was amazing." I called Mike and we brought it to Broadway last summer. We ran for 12 performances, and they took it on the road. From the very beginning I knew I wanted HBO to do it.
How did the show change for Broadway?
There was a lot of stuff in the original show. It had a band, it had a singer. But it was in Las Vegas, so we had to take the Vegas out. We stripped it down.
Is this Mike Tyson's whole story?
Mike doesn't have one story. And Mike's story is not done. I would not be surprised if there is a chapter two, a sequel to this stage production. You might think you know Mike Tyson, but you really don't.
Was there anything challenging about working with Mike?
There has not been one challenging thing about working with him. I love Mike Tyson. I mean, we are Brooklyn. He grew up in Brownsville; "Never Ran, Never Will." I grew up in Fort Greene. And in fact, people don't know this: Mike Tyson was born in Cumberland Hospital. You know who else was born there? Ask me.
Who else was born there?
Albert King, Bernard King, Mike Tyson, and Michael Jordan, all born in my neighborhood in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
When did you first meet Mike?

Five teams that Penguins may have to hurdle on way to Cup
Ray Shero knows what it is like to win the Stanley Cup.
"It's really, really hard," he said.
Those words were offered in September 2009, about three months after the Penguins won the Cup to cap a playoff run that included two two-game deficits and Game 7 road victories, a stretch of games for which seven defensemen dressed and a championship clincher that featured captain Sidney Crosby on the bench for all but one shift over the final 30 minutes.
"Things need to work out for you, and a lot of things are out of your control — injuries, bounces, you name it," Shero said. "It's hard to win a (playoff series). It's really hard to get to the Final and really, really hard to win the Stanley Cup."
The Penguins arrive at these Stanley Cup playoffs as overwhelming favorites to reach the Final, and a best bet to reclaim the Cup.
They are deep, with third-line forwards — Brenden Morrow, Brandon Sutter and Matt Cooke — that have combined for over 460 NHL goals.
They are motivated, coming off three consecutive postseason losses to lower-seeded opponents, two of those series ending at home.
They are grittier — because Douglas Murray is on defense — and more dynamic — because Jarome Iginla is a top-six forward — than the pretty-playing squad that was ousted last spring by Philadelphia.
They are ready because leaders from winger Pascal Dupuis to goalie Marc-Andre Fleury had this postseason on their minds during those four-a-week practices in an NHL lockout that ran from last September into January.
They are intensely intent on composing a Redemption Song over the next two months.
If they are healthy, these Penguins will go top of the chart unless one of five teams forces a sour note.
The 2011 Cup winners are physically imposing, constructed to grind out wins in long series and suited for typically tightly called postseason play.
Captain Zdeno Chara, though no longer a lock for Norris Trophy contention, remains the rare shutdown defenseman who can also dictate offensively. Jaromir Jagr, acquired from Dallas during the trade-deadline period, is expert at cross-ice passes that have devastated the Penguins' penalty kill — a team weakness.
Center Patrice Bergeron is a faceoff master, winning more than 60 percent of draws. A right-handed shooter, he is a particularly tough assignment for Crosby, who is the Penguins' top drawing center.
The Bruins have rated no lower than second on the penalty kill most of the regular season, and they were just below 90 percent at home.
"The Bruins have been beaten down by a brutal second half of the 48-game regular season, and they're missing the single biggest piece to their Stanley Cup team in AWOL goalie Tim Thomas. There's a sneaking suspicion the Bruins are saving their best shot for the playoffs after fizzling in the first round last year, and they still have the vast majority of their Stanley Cup-winning nucleus. ''
— Joe Haggerty of Comcast SportsNet New England
A winger such as Chris Kunitz — fast, physical, and comfortable working along the boards — is a nightmare matchup for Chara. The Penguins have a winger like Kunitz on each of their three scoring lines (Iginla, Morrow). The Bruins' famed physicality would not be a factor because the Penguins can match it, and Boston would not overcome its struggle to score goals.
The 2010 Cup winners roll four lines that can create, expertly possess the puck, skate well on the backend and win games of any style. They won the President's Trophy for a reason.
Captain Jonathan Toews combines Crosby's leadership and drive, Evgeni Malkin's size and ability to play in tight quarters and Jordan Staal's defensive prowess. He is arguably the most complete center not playing in Pittsburgh. Still, right winger Patrick Kane was probably the NHL's best club's MVP candidate.
Kane is the prototypical small, fast and skilled forward that has tortured the Penguins in recent playoff series. See: Claude Giroux (Flyers, 2012), Martin St. Louis (Lightning, 2011) and Mike Cammalleri (Canadiens, 2010).
More than 52 percent of the Blackhawks' games were decided by one goal, and Chicago paced the NHL in those close victories.
"If goalie Corey Crawford can overcome his postseason woes from last year, the Blackhawks have an excellent chance to work their way through the Western Conference playoffs to set up a potential date with the Penguins. If they do meet, the Hawks would prefer a wide-open style where they can use their speed and superior puck possession play from the likes of Toews, Kane and Hossa.''
— Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune
The Blackhawks will be bested only by an opponent comfortable playing a contrasting physical, gritty style. The Penguins became that opponent with trades for the likes of Murray, Morrow and Iginla. Also, the Penguins' MegaPowers (Crosby, Malkin) are better than the Blackhawks' Dynamic Duo (Toews, Kane). That is the distinctive difference.
The 2012 Cup winners possess size, skill, speed, depth, and, in Jonathan Quick, a goalie who has proven capable of stealing not just a series but an entire postseason.
The Kings are the champs, so somebody has to beat them. That is a challenge, because they won as the No. 8 seed last season, so they know how to win on the road. They went up, 3-0, in every series last postseason.
Center Anze Kopitar is capable of imposing his will on a series in a way that perhaps no one else but Malkin can. His size-skill blend makes him nearly impossible to defend against when he is playing with confidence.
The Kings won eight playoff games in which they scored first last postseason and topped the NHL in winning percentage in that category during the regular season.
"Adding Robyn Regehr shortly before the trade deadline to replace Willie Mitchell has restored the (physical, gritty) elements the Kings needed, and the return of Matt Green has brought back another playoff-tested, rugged defenseman. Quick has been sharp, mobile and confident the past month. In addition, players who played bit roles last season, such as Trevor Lewis and Slava Voynov, have improved immensely this season and have played major roles.''
— Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times
Unlike the Bruins, the Kings score just enough to win. However, despite their depth down the middle, they do not generate enough offensively to excel when playing from behind. The Penguins scored first in more than 60 percent of games during the season. A power forward like Iginla could alter an otherwise even series even that would place enormous pressure on goalies to handle crease traffic.
They lost the 2011 Final in Game 7 — on home ice — and were bounced from Round 1 last spring. Their top-end talent at forward, on defense and in goal remains formidable.
They still have the Sedin twins (Henrik and Daniel), who can create nightmarish matchup problems. They are under the radar. Most important, the Canucks' desire to finally win the Cup provides an intangible that may not easily be measured by opponents.
Center Ryan Kesler takes the Canucks from good to great. If healthy, he is a two-way stud who can dictate offensively, disrupt defensively and dominate a short series with power and precision.
The Canucks were one of the NHL's stingiest clubs in first-period goals-against, ranking in the top five all season. They had a better goal differential on the road than at home.
"It's hard to know what the Canucks have, because they haven't iced their complete team all season but should have it together for Game 1 (of the playoffs). This is potentially a formidable lineup. (Coach Alain) Vigneault has options, and goalie Cory Schneider has been really good of late. This may be the sleeper team in the playoffs.''
— Ed Willes, The (Vancouver) Province
The Penguins' physicality — especially the Morrow-Sutter-Cooke line — likely would rattle the Canucks in a way similar to how Vancouver was taken out of its comfort zone by the Bruins in the 2011 Final. Neither Canucks goalie (Schneider or Roberto Luongo) would deal well with nuisances such as Kunitz, Iginla and Morrow; and Vancouver's defensemen would not impede those players' pursuit of pucks.
The perennial playoff underachievers rallied from a dreadful start to win the Southeast Division. Under first-year coach Adam Oates, something seems different for these past upset victims.
Alex Ovechkin is back. His move from the left to right wing was no easy transition, but over the last six weeks of regular season he was inarguably the dominant offensive player in the NHL. As he goes, so go the Capitals. He is going as good as he has since his dominant goal-scoring days.
Center Mike Ribeiro is as productive as he is pesky — a legitimate scoring threat whose jabbing and gabbing can get under the skin of even the most poised opponents.
The Capitals were fourth in winning percentage when trailing, behind only the Penguins, Blackhawks and Ducks — the NHL's three top teams all season.
"(Alex) Ovechkin's switch to right wing took a while to bear fruit, but Washington's captain took over the NHL goal-scoring lead and led an improbable midseason turnaround. Defenseman Mike Green's return from injury means the Capitals can get offense from everywhere, and goalie Braden Holtby showed in last year's playoffs he can frustrate offensively gifted opponents.''
— Stephen Whyno, the Washington Times
The formula from an epic 2009 Round 2 series would work again. Ovechkin cannot win the series by himself, especially if Crosby goes goal-for-goal against him. The Penguins would rely on Malkin and Letang to be better than center Nicklas Backstrom and Green — not to mention a big experience advantage in goal with Marc-Andre Fleury or Tomas Vokoun — in another wild and wonderful playoff showdown.

I see you like sun sets. Good photography!
Vicky, thanks I will check it out!
I LOVE your photos!! are those balloon flowers or bellflowers? and you have a vegetable garden too?!! Some white lavender would be a lovely addition!!
I would LOVE a link to your photobucket to see upclose.
As I said...I must be slow.... I have participated on many forums but I just can't figure out how to navigate here... I will try for a while, but really....I garden 12 acres, have hoyas and a life...don't know if there's time to figure this out....
Hi Vicky, Gardener at heart...Welcome to Garden-Share, lots of beautiful inspiring pics,Groups with wonderful advice and Gardening Friends from all over The U.S.A. and The World. I love your creative decorations on your wall and around your windows. You have a fantastic slide show of beautiful pics. Spring is here and looking forward to more of your beautiful creative pics. Thank you for sharing and Happy Gardening !
It is strange being that I plant almost exclusively for the benefit of wildlife. I have bees aplenty of many kinds. I will plant much earlier this season and try, try again.
Hi, thanks for responding. They came up lovely and healthy. They flowered and then the flowers didn't turn into beans. I did everything I thought was correct according to all info. It was my 1st try at beans. The vine continued to grow and flower. I asked if I needed the Rhizobium for success and was told I didn't. So, I will of coarse try again. I tied them in as the vine grew, but by August I had to just tend to the rest and wait for this season.

Adele Wrote 21 About Her Ex-boyfriend Slinky Sunbeam
March 13, 2012 by staff
Adele Wrote 21 About Her Ex-boyfriend Slinky Sunbeam, Adele has made more money than most people will in their entire life off of her second studio album, 21. Adele wrote about her ex-boyfriend and fans have been wanting to know who the hell he is ever since! Now, the New York Post claims that Slinky Sunbeam is the man who inspired Adele's breakup songs.
Slinky Sunbeam, aka Slinky Winfield, is a 25 year-old musician and actor who was introduced to Adele through her close-knit circle of art-loving friends in South London.
Adele's friend describes Slinky as "a really popular guy, the life and soul of the party, and he's a musician as well." The same friend also says that his hair reminds her of Jimi Hendrix. I could see that.
Friends say that Slinky dumped Adele for Burberry model Morwenna Lytton Cobbold. A source says: "Slinky isn't the kind of guy you can tie down. It was always going to end in tears, and those tears were always going to be Adele's."
Skeptics question how serious Adele was with her ex because he has never been identified, which is dumb. The relationship obviously meant a lot to Adele, who said she would give up fame to be with her ex again.
On the surface, Slinky looks average at best, but certain men have hypnotic swagger and none of their b!tches stand a chance. They're like a f*cking tornado, destroying everything in their path! Oh ya, Happy Valentine's Day.

Johannesburg - Only one objection to candidates on political parties' lists has been upheld, the Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) said on Tuesday.
"The electoral commission is not aware of any appeals which have been lodged with the Electoral Court," it said in a statement.
"The way is therefore now clear for the finalisation of the candidate lists and issue of certificates to all candidates in terms of section 31 of the Electoral Act."
The certificates would be issued to candidates by April 24.
The IEC said it had received 45 objections.
The parties which received objections were: the African National Congress, the Democratic Alliance, Agang SA, Congress of the People, Economic Freedom Fighters, African Christian Democratic Party, United Democratic Party, National Freedom Party and Ximoko Party.
Of these objections one was upheld because the candidate was convicted of an offence and sentenced to more than 12 months in prison, the IEC said.
It did not say who the candidate was or from which party.
"This disqualification ends five years after the sentence has been completed, which will be after the 2014 NPE 1/8national and provincial 3/8 elections.
"The candidate has thus been disqualified," the IEC said.
The commission said there were some matters raised as objections which were administrative and referred to administrative resolution.
Agriculture union Tau SA and the Institute for Accountability in Southern Africa (IFAISA) both sent letters to the IEC objecting to President Jacob Zuma's number one position on the list of ANC candidates.
In terms of the Electoral Act, anyone, including the chief electoral officer, may object to the nomination of a candidate.
An objection can be made on three grounds: if a candidate does not qualify to stand in the election, if the prescribed acceptance of nomination is not signed by the candidate, and if no undertaking signed by the candidate that he/she is bound by the Electoral Code of Conduct is submitted.
These objections were not upheld.

Microsoft Office Questions? Ask a IT Expert for Support ASAP
I expected that you would help me with the next steps, not just give me tutorial websites to go to. I already tried doing that and it didn't help. I'm now at the point where I have the greeting card template - went into page layout - borders and was able to put a border around the whole page, but I want two separate border boxes, one at the top and one at the bottom. Please help me.
I can send you the file that I have - I think it is only one more step and I'll have the boxes. I then just want to add some text in the inside of the boxes. How do I send you a file?
No, I want the top part of the page to have a red box around the perimeter, and the bottom half of the page to have a similar box. Right now it just has one box around the whole page. Then I want to write some next inside the boxes.
This should be pretty easy, but I'm missing one thing. I went into the Page Border tab, but maybe it should have been the Borders tab.
That isn't close to being what I wanted unfortunately. The file I sent to you has one page, which will be printed and then folded in half into a tent sign. I want one offset red border on all 4 sides of one side of the tent, and one offset red border on the other side of the tent. So my page should have two red boxes on it, one on the top and one on the bottom, instead of one red box surrounding the entire page.
I am not very happy. There is only one red line through the center of the page. It doesn't look anything like what I want. I tried to download it so I could see if it looks different and they want me to put all this software on my machine. I don't want you to do this for me, I want you to tell me how to do it. I want to be assigned to another expert please.
Hi, Welcome to JustAnswer. This is Mahbub Shahin can assist you.
You can easily put two text boxes in a single pages. You can change its border style and color. Also make the background as transference.

Please, only rate my answer when you are 100% satisfied. IF you feel to rate me as "Poor Service" or "Bad Service", please reply me via REPLY TO EXPERT button with the issue you have rather then rate me as "Poor Service" or "Bad Service",I will not paid unless I get a rating of 3 to 5 Stars/Smiley Faces. If you think I have helped you with your problem, please give me a proper rating so that I can get paid for helping you.Bonus will be appreciable. Thank you.
I am apologized. I opt out from this question.
You ask for I want two separate border boxes, one at the top and one at the bottom. Please help me. I just send you the easiest way. Thank you.

Customer Testimonials
The service we received was excellent this year, much improved over last year. I think his name is Harry stayed on top of things as our pool is older and in need of repairs soon.
Very responsive to in-between service calls. Take the time to explain what they are doing. Very personable managers and employees. They have our best interests in mind. We are a small community and they understand how important keeping our costs down is to us.
I've already sent a note to our board and Property Managers complimenting Pawel and the crew we had this season. I said Antonio and Dorian were courteous, efficient, accommodating, timely, and very professional. Pawel also responded to an occasional special request including coming out on evening in horrible traffic to repair a leak that I created when I accidentally bumped a water line. Great pool year. Thanks.

Paralleled Toroids?
I acquired a blown car amplifier for some parts I needed for my amp of the same model. I was wondering if it is possible to stack the 2 toroids from the blown amp in parallel with the ones on the good amp? With my lamens way of thinking this would effectively double the current capacity of that part of the power supply, correct?
Thanks in advance,
If the toroid your'e refering to is the transformer in the switching power supply then connecting another in parallel will bring no benefit and will probably destroy the devices that drive it.
To double the power availble to your amps amplifier section you would need to recreate the whole smps and then figure out a way to tie it in and get both smps's to share, and then you'd need to increase the output capacity of the amplifier.
It would be easier just to buy another amp, but hey, what would you learn.
In the unregulated push-pull transformer-coupled SMPS topology used in most car audio amplifiers you can safely paralell identycal transformers as long ad the windings are connected properly [same polarities]. Once it works, remember to glue the transformers to the board in order to avoid vibrations and magnet wire insulation damage
Transformers have no fixed current capability, 'I' may be as high as you want and the wire will just heat proportionally to 'I' squared, but heating is not the main concern here
On these SMPS topologies, voltage drop on the output depends more on transformer leakage inductance than on magnet wire resistance. Adding an extra transformer halves leakage inductance so voltage drop is somewhat reduced
Conflicting arguments???????? Hhhhmmmm.......now I'm really confused. I probably don't have 1/100th of the knowledge any of you 3 posses, but my gut instinct tells me Eva is more or less(more than less?) correct. The 2 extra toroidal transformers I have are the exact same as the 2 on the board already. Assuming that if I added them everything is fine, is there any real benefits to doing this besides the ones Eva mentioned(or maybe someone can elaborate a little more on her thoughts for me). I also added 2 more 63v 4700uf caps to the rail supply if that matters any(there were 2 empty spots already on the board just begging for me to put them in:) ).
I agree and disagree with EVA statement; it's correct in that there will be no difference on the high current drive side of the smps as long as saturation and leakage was not a design element, leakage would be greatly reduced and saturation nearly impossible with parallel roids requireing a much higher demand on the high current side if the output asks for it.
Without adding output devices, or a fan maybe, the output section would still need some attention or any higher output from the smps would just be wasted in the amps thermal protection shutting it off mid jam or even worse releasing the smoke.
I'm curious though, are you planning on the mod? If so, cuold you post your results and model info and maybe some pic's.
