What a delightful stay we had at the Ravinia Guest House. We chose it for its proximity to Chicago's Botanical Gardens, but were so pleased with the room, the food and the wonderful family atmosphere. We want to go back soon and maybe catch a show at the Ravinia Park.

Injuries to the intestine can happen after car crashes, falls, bicycle crashes or violence. The intestinal injury may also be caused by a gunshot wound or knife wound that punctures the intestine.
These types of injuries are known as penetrating injuries.
The intestine has three functions:
It starts at the opening of the stomach and ends at the anus or rectum.
The intestine is a long, slender, coiled tube. The first part is called the small intestine and the last part is the large intestine.
The small intestine is further divided into the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.
The large intestine is divided up into the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum.
Together, the small intestine (20 feet) and large intestine (5 feet) are about 25 feet long.
When the intestine is injured, the child may develop stomach pain and a tight belly. If what's inside the intestine leaks out, it can cause a serious and possibly life-threatening infection. Some intestinal injuries do not present themselves right away but may develop after many hours or even days.
If intestinal injury is suspected, the trauma team will thoroughly and carefully examine your child. X-rays, CAT scan (a picture that can show more detail than an X-ray) and blood tests usually are done to find out what kind of injury your child has.
A child with a crushed or torn intestines will need emergency surgery to fix the tear. Once your child is asleep, the skin incision will be closed with staples or stitches after surgery. For a few days after the operation, as things begin to heal, your child's intestine must rest so he / she will not be allowed to eat.
He / she will have an IV (a small tube in their vein) to get liquids. He / she may also have a nasogastric tube (a tube through the nose into the stomach) after surgery to keep the stomach empty and help the injury. Antibiotics and pain medication may be given to your child to ward off infection or pain and speed recovery.
As your child gets better, the doctors and nurses will check for bowel sounds or the passing of gas. Once this has happened, your child may start to drink clear liquids and over time start to eat regular foods. It is important to know that healing time is not the same for each child and it can be a few days before your child can eat regular food.
If the intestine was only bruised, your child will probably not need surgery, but he / she may need to stay in the hospital a few days to be watched and make sure the bruises heal.
The number of days in the hospital will depend on how badly your child was hurt and how long he or she will need to heal.
After the injury, your child may be tired and irritable. It takes time to heal physically and mentally. Use this time for rest and quiet activities. Tell your child that he / she will feel better soon.
Have your child play board games, read, or do small craft projects for short periods of time. It is harder to get infants and toddlers to rest and do quiet activities.
Try putting your infant or toddler in a large crib or playpen. Ask family and friends to visit, but only for a short time because your child needs their rest.
After any trauma children may experience emotional symptoms that may be reflective of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you notice your child having nightmares, flashbacks, nervousness, irritability or any other concerning emotional symptoms, speak with the Trauma team. Short-term therapy can be provided to help children heal and recover emotionally after a trauma.
It is very important to teach your child how to play and live safely. Your child watches you, so you should also model proper safety precautions. Your child should learn to wear a helmet when riding a bike, in-line skating or skate boarding.
You should also teach your child to always wear a seatbelt and shoulder harness when in a car. Remember that children 13 years and younger should always sit with correct safety restraints in the back seat when the car has a passenger side airbag.
Your child may not be allowed to go to gym class, recess, or play sports for a while after leaving the hospital. The amount of time will depend on how badly your child was hurt. The doctor or nurse will talk to you about this before your child leaves the hospital.
Usually, your child can go back to school within one to two weeks after the injury. However, if surgery was needed or there were other injuries, your child may be out of school longer. The trauma team will work with you to help your child get back to school.

The March to Germantown: — Part 2 of 4
Washington Defends ReadingWashington chose to defend Reading. He ordered General Sullivan to send troops to block fords along the upper Schuylkill. He reminded Sullivan "not to neglect such fords as the country people tell them are difficult, because at such places the enemy will be most likely to pass." Washington did not want a reprise of Brandywine, where the advice of locals about fords contributed to his defeat in battle.
Again the British and Hessians antagonized a reasonably docile population, losing more friends, gaining the unfavorable decision of neutrals, and influencing the result of the war.
-Joseph Jackson, historian
Howe Takes PhiladelphiaOn September 22nd, Howe discerned that the Americans had evacuated their camp and had moved west to defend Reading — precisely what he had hoped Washington would do. Though Reading was a tempting target, Howe now had an uncontested path into the unprotected capital of Philadelphia.
Washington, who had already moved west, tried the ruse of leaving campfires burning in order to fool the British into thinking the Americans were still in the area. But by this time in the war, both generals were starting to catch wise to the other's tricks. Howe was not fooled.
Howe was wary and sent Jagers across the Schuylkill at both Gordon's and Fatlands Fords — just in case Washington had something up his sleeve. Once across though, the Jagers met only token opposition from local militia.
At midnight, Howe moved all his men to Fatlands Ford and marched them across in water that was barely over a foot deep. The entire army had crossed the river by morning. They encamped in Norristown, a village between Philadelphia and Washington's army.
Washington could do nothing to save Philadelphia.

Lover 'will stand by' man who infected both her and another woman with HIV
The lover of a photographer who gave her HIV says she will stand by him – even after he was jailed for infecting a second woman with the virus.
Les Pringle, 48, from North Tyneside, was jailed for three-and-a-half years at Newcastle crown court after he infected the unnamed woman – known as X – after having unprotected sex with her.
He was aware that he had the virus and had been warned by doctors that he could potentially pass it on.
It emerged after the case that a school friend and ex-girlfriend had also been infected by Pringle, but that she had decided to stand by him.
'I had to think very hard about whether I could forgive him, and it did take a while,' she told the Newcastle-based Evening Chronicle newspaper.
'I realised he wasn't a bad person. He just wasn't dealing with it. He said he had finally had his head dragged out of the sand.'
The woman, who is a mother, does not believe Pringle deliberately infected her and says she can now forgive him.
In the case of X, Pringle had been involved in a relationship with her and she did not realise she had contracted the virus from him until they broke up.
After Pringle was sentenced, Detective Superintendent Steve Wade said that the police welcomed the sentence.
'He breached a partner's trust and showed absolutely no regard for her personal safety by withholding the information that he was HIV positive,' Det Supt Wade said.
'Pringle knew he was HIV positive but recklessly ignored the health advice he had been given by having unprotected sexual relations with the victim.
After Pringle was convicted, X released a statement saying: 'The selfish behaviour of Les Pringle is nothing short of appalling.
'Through the position he now finds himself in, I hope Les Pringle uses this time to reflect on the damage he has done through his treatment of others, and learn something of compassion.'

In February 2012, The Dispatch asked engineers and designers at Battelle, Edison Welding Institute and the Center for Automotive Research at Ohio State University to design and build the fastest Pinewood Derby cars they could for two special races. We also invited a 10-year-old Cub Scout to keep them honest.
On March 31, the first-ever Dispatch Pinewoodapalooza was held at Battelle.
As Pinewood Derby madness begins again in 2017 for scouts everywhere, we thought a refresher course might be handy
A block of wood, four nails and a set of plastic wheels.
Every year about this time, millions of Cub Scouts open the same kits, head into basement workshops and transform these simple materials into sleek cars that compete in Pinewood Derbies.
While some kids concentrate on how their cars look, others focus on their cars' speed.
The latter might just be tomorrow's engineers.
That got us thinking: What if today's engineers could go back in time to their Cub Scout days and take with them their knowledge of physics. And what if they could use the state-of-the-art tools in their labs to build their entries?
What started out as a newsroom conversation became real when The Dispatch asked engineers at Battelle; Edison Welding Institute, a nonprofit developer of manufacturing technologies; and the Center for Automotive Research at Ohio State University in February to create pinewood cars to compete in a special race.
And to make it interesting, we enlisted a 10-year-old Cub Scout.
Along the way, we learned a lot about engineers. Let's just say the desire to win, well, inspires them. A lot.
The engineers used lots of computers, special alloys, lasers and even something called "a high-velocity oxy-fuel thermal spray" to design and build their entries.
"Other than some sanding at the end, this was pretty much machine-done," David Walters, a Battelle design engineer, said about one of his team's cars.
Despite the advanced degrees, huge labs and killer tools, the engineers said they feared that Cub Scout Kyle Juracich, a member of Pack 128 at Gables Elementary School, would win.
"He's got all the experience," said Mark Hornak, an OSU material-science engineering student.
We thought we kept the rules simple.
Each team was asked to make two cars.
The first had to conform to Cub Scout rules, which restrict car length and wheel base and impose a 5-ounce weight limit.
The second car, however, would compete in a "cheater" category in which there were no size limits. They simply had to use the wheels and wood in the kits.
That's when the questions began.
Could you clearly define what "no propulsion system" means? Gravity is the only propulsion available.
Can we move the axles on the regulation car? No.
What is the track made of, and what are its dimensions? Unknown until the week of the race.
"They're pretty vague," Hornak said of the rules.
On race day, March 31, Kyle and the engineers showed off their entries.
Battelle's cheater car sported a black plastic pickup truck shell that was designed on a computer and built layer-by-layer in a "fast prototyping" machine that is not sold at any Home Depot.
Edison used a laser to slice pine into layers that the team glued together to form the body of its regulation car. Why? Because they could.
The races were held on the Battelle campus. About 70 attended — team members, family and friends. Two Cub Scout den leaders officiated.
While the regulation car race went smoothly, emotions ran a bit hot during the cheater race when Edison's entry, a two-stage vehicle, failed to finish in early heats.
The team asked if it could switch to a backup car, a super-heavy entry the team dubbed the " hot dog of doom."
While Ohio State and Battelle did not protest, Kyle's dad, Jon Juracich, suggested the Edison team stick with its original entry.
"I'm just trying not to be the too-serious dad who's freaking out because we've got fourth place," said Edison team leader Ed Herderick.
With every heat — there were four per race — the teams whooped it up when their cars did well and offered plenty of excuses when they fell short.
In the end, the Ohio State team took first prize in the regulation race, followed by Kyle, Edison and Battelle.
Battelle won the cheater race, with Kyle in second, Ohio State third and Edison fourth.
"I think we did pretty good," Kyle said, clutching a trophy awarded by The Dispatch.
Edison CEO Henry Cialone and Battelle CEO Jeffrey Wadsworth wagered $100 on the races, with the idea that the winner would pick a charity to get the proceeds.
In the end, each gave $100 to central Ohio's Simon Kenton Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

Canon's EOS 30D; In Camera Image Control, Par Excellence
It's getting to the point where cameras are truly microprocessors with lenses. For those who have shot film in the past, today's digital SLRs give access to the look and feel of every film ever made at every speed with every color, contrast, and grain nuance you could imagine. While film builders create a combination of image attributes fixed in a micro-thin emulsion on a piece of acetate, today's digital SLRs emulate their art with the turn of a few dials and the push of a button or two. In addition, the image-processing program inside the digital SLR offers a whole kit bag full of filter effects, including options for those who enjoy black and white photography. Indeed, combined with the latest pigment ink printers and fine art paper surfaces, the latest digital SLRs have spawned a renaissance in black and white, digital style.
One camera that gives you near complete control over image effects of all
types, in addition to the aperture and shutter speed variations, metering patterns,
and flash control options is the new Canon EOS 30D. Priced at about $1399 (body
only), this
8.2-megapixel digital SLR is in the semi-pro and pro range, although avid digital photographers ready to upgrade will find it attractive as well.
In many respects the 30D is an upgrade from the Canon EOS 20D combined with features from the upper-end of the Canon digital SLR line. Being an upgrade, the 30D has quite a few items in common with the 20D, which we won't go into here. (If you want to check out the 20D specs go online to www.shutterbug.com and type Canon 20D into the Search box.)
Landscape Mode
Some of the noticeable differences from the 20D are a larger LCD monitor (2.5")
that while larger is still a tough read in direct sunlight; Picture Style menus
for image effects that to this writer are much more straightforward than the
Parameters on the 20D; auto noise reduction, which should be used for long exposures
and at ISO 800 and beyond; and enhanced print and share functions. Some of these
changes have been wrought in recent Canon "pro" models more recent
than the 20D, such as the EOS 5D and EOS-1D Mark II N, also reviewed in these
pages and available online at www.shutterbug.com.
Perhaps the most rewarding part of the camera, at least with the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM lens I tested it with, is the incredibly sharp and rich image quality. When shooting in Raw mode at 16 bit the 8+ megapixel sensor yielded near 48MB files, which had incredible depth and clarity. I especially liked what happened in black and white (Monochrome mode in menu). Shooting with various programmable filter effects I was able to get "zone-like" quality in my black and white images and prints. When I first opened them on my Apple 23" Cinema Display all I could say was "Wow!," and I'm not usually given to such exuberance while testing.
Monochrome Or Color
Another appealing aspect of this camera is body build and durability. It has
a much more solid feel and grip than amateur-oriented models with an enhanced
pro-style shutter mechanism, claimed by the company to deliver 100,000 cycles.
To help you get up to that number faster the 30D allows for a 30-frame Large/Fine
JPEG burst and an 11-frame raw burst, both at the top speed of 5 fps (frames
per second).
Those who have used a Canon digital SLR recently will have little trouble navigating this well-built body. Those who have worked with other digital SLRs or with Canons before the 20D, 5D, and Mark II N will find that getting around the functions and features are a quick instruction book-read away, and quite intuitive even without it.
No More Polarizers?
Picture Styles And Raw
One of the key features of this camera is the amazing range of image effect controls. This includes many variations on white balance, color tone, color space, and preset color rendition options, from landscape to portrait and more.
The 30D also offers a host of raw+ options (raw + JPEG shooting at many JPEG resolution and compression settings) or raw by its lonesome. This begs the question: Why bother with what Canon dubs Picture Styles when you're shooting in raw format? Indeed, why have any camera controls over image effects other than depth of field and motion depiction, or even image resolution, when using the ultimately malleable raw format? Most raw converters today (such as the included Version 12.0 of the Canon software) can deliver many options, and probably more nuance than any Picture Style menu. Just get the exposure right, make sure depth of field is where you want it and keep it steady and raw processing can do the rest, with your help, of course.
Red Filter
The answer for me is that the 30D, like other similarly priced digital SLRs we've tested of late, blurs the distinction between pro- and advanced amateur-oriented cameras. To eliminate image effects, such as Picture Styles, and to rely strictly on raw format, is to limit the camera's appeal and market, even though it makes perfect sense from a convenience and quality standpoint. Indeed, raw only might be what a future "stripped down to basics" pro digital SLR could offer.

J. Geils Band played the Boston Garden on this night in 1982. What was their most recent album at that point?
Answer: Freeze-Frame
Here's the rest of today's Rock N' Roll Diary!
- 1965: Filming began in the Bahamas for The Beatles' second movie, Help!
- 1969: David Bowie began a tour as the opening act for T. Rex. He didn't perform any music, though – he did a short mime act!
- 1970: New Jersey band Steel Mill cut a demo at a studio owned by rock promoter Bill Graham, and were offered a contract. The lead singer for Steel Mill was a 20-year-old Bruce Springsteen.
- 1978: The Police appeared in a Wrigley's chewing gum ad in which they had to dye their hair blonde. It became their look.
- 1980: Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood and his girlfriend were arrested in St. Maarten when police found five grams of cocaine in the couples rented apartment. No charges were filed.
- 1989: Jethro Tull won the first heavy metal Grammy award, infamously beating Metallica, AC/DC, Jane's Addiction, and Iggy Pop for the honor. In the uproar that followed, none were more embarrassed than Ian Anderson and the rest of Tull's band members.
- From the WZLX ticket stash…Led Zeppelin was at the Boston Tea Party in 1969…In '72 the J. Geils Band played the Aquarius Theatre…Humble Pie was at the Orpheum in 1975…And in 1982 J. Geils was back when they played the Garden.

Bloomberg, August 19, 2014
Older patients who aren't expected to live more than another decade are still being screened too often for cancers, causing more harm than good, a study found. More than half of men 65 and older who had a very high risk of dying in nine years were screened for prostate cancer, a slow-moving disease, according to research today in JAMA Internal Medicine. Almost 38 percent of older women with a similar life expectancy were screened for breast cancer and 31 percent were screened for cervical cancer despite some having undergone a hysterectomy, which means they often had no cervix.

I really cannot stand you right now. You were supposed to be my friend. You were supposed to take care of me. Instead, you stab me in the back by letting me make stupid decisions. Life, I hope you are happy with yourself. I hope you get all you wanted out of yourself. I pray that you make everyone happy and nobody suffers ,but remember this, Life, remember the little girl you hurt so bad. Remember a little girl named Toriana. Remember how that little girl cried herself to sleep because you let her
Okay so I'm not perfect and no one is perfect but we all try our hardest to be right? Even if we don't make it to perfection some us get pretty darn close. As for me...I am far from it.
Yes, okay I have made some very wrong choices in the past. Key word past!!!! That doesn't mean it determines my future. I mean I'm a kid practically. Sure I can speak mature thoughts and process mature questions better than anyone my age but that doesn't automatically define my maturity. I am stupid
So get this me and my..now exbf...broke up. Yeah...gosh this sucks...how many guys am I going to have to go through until I find one that will actually stay? He said that we were to different that he was quiet and I was loud and that he just wanted to be single... I laughed. but ya know what I actually broke up with him...on accident. I was just joking around with him and he took it seriously! He said it was for the best anyways because I would be alot happier without him. I wasn't even in love
I finally did it!!!! I have finally moved on from all the bull crap that took away the happiness in my life!!!!
Anthony tried to come back. I TOLD YOU HE WOULD!!!! Here is a play by play of what went down
Me: Ivree told me what you said and I just want you to do me a favor. Don't come back I'm happy again. Someone makes me happy again. You built this and now you can sit there and watch what you created. You can say sorry as much as you want to but I dont forgive

Sometimes I wish I didn't look this way. I wish I wasn't pretty like people say I am. I wish I didn't get attention from guys the way I do. I mean sure I like the attention it makes me feel good , but I can see in there eyes they don't want to love me. They don't want to get to know me. I'm just a smash and pass. I sit there and I wonder why they don't want to stay with me if they say I am just sooooo beautiful. That they would do anything for me. They say they can make me happy. Then why do they

Orlando Shakespeare Theater Receives $15K Award from Universal Orlando Foundation
Orlando Shakespeare Theater in Partnership with UCF has announced its recent award of $15,000 from the Universal Orlando Foundation. Combining the Theater's pre-existing Imaginations Alive! program with Magic Tree House author Mary Pope Osborne's Classroom Adventures, the Theater's Imaginations Alive!/Classroom Adventure dual program will use the funding to provide tickets and educational programming to Title I 3rd and 4th grade classrooms in Orange County free of charge.
Orlando Shakes' Imaginations Alive!/Classroom Adventure curriculum, geared toward 3rd and 4th grade students, is designed to engage, inspire, and motivate children to develop a love of reading. Students will collaborate with teachers and Orlando Shakes' actor/educators to build and improvise storylines based on the adventures of the Magic Tree House characters (Jack and Annie) and the historical figures they meet during their travels through time. Instructors will use a series of interactive games and theater exercises to help students effectively employ the elements of character, setting, problem, and solution. Upon completion of the Classroom Adventures/Imaginations Alive! programming, students will visit the John and Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center to see a production of A Night in New Orleans: A Magic Tree House Adventure, the World Premiere play based on the Magic Tree House book, A Good Night for Ghosts.
"This programming aims to nurture students' imaginations, foster their creativity, and engage their desire to pursue their goals and dreams for the future," said Noreen Levitt, Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations. "We are so thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to provide this crucial arts education programming to underserved students throughout the County."
Orlando Shakes' new dual programming enhances its pre-existing Imaginations Alive! programming, which focuses on interactive reading and writing to demonstrate a basic understanding of internal story grammar. For more information about Imaginations Alive! and other Orlando Shakes' educational programming visit http://www.orlandoshakes.org/education/workshops.html.
Mary Pope Osborne's Classroom Adventures program uses kids' love of Magic Tree House adventures, and their identification with Jack and Annie, to spark interest in learning across curriculum and accomplish classroom requirements in creative, meaningful, and long-lasting ways.

Do you get allowance from your SO?
Carry on.
Quoting LiesLiesLies:
Quoting Anonymous:
Was married? Didn't you get married again?
Quoting LiesLiesLies:
No...I have my own money.
But when I was married I had a debit card and spent whatever I wanted. He texted ME before he spent anything lol!
No, we've been married 23 years. We have a joint account, and his check is automatically deposited. I pay the bills, we both know what we can spend, both have access to the money (and the online account).
damn that not much. Hell i spend that in gas just in 1 week.
Quoting Anonymous:
Yes. $50 every 2 Weeks.
He gives me a portion of his check to buy household items and gas. I guess that's an allowance, but I have a job soo....
Nope. Opposite actually. He's military, I work from home. His entire paycheck goes to bills...mine goes to debt and play money. So he asks me if he needs more than what I give and I typically give him 400-500 for whatever.
Sort of. I am a SAHM and he has his own checking account. Long story why I'm not on it too. But anyway... he has most of the credit cards and the bank card. I have the credit card with the lowest limit ($400) and if I need more, I ask him for it. Sometimes I get annoyed with it but I know it really is better this way because he is totally responsible with money and I am the exact opposite. lol
yeah i was thinking more along these lines. I mean we dont have money to just spend on whatever. but each paycheck we get so much for gas and food. We dont buy a ton of extras though and when we need something we work it into our cash money for those 2 weeks. I wouldn't call it an allowance though.
Quoting tennisgal:
we both get an allowance...also known as following a budget.

OS/2, the IBM operating system that never quite made it, is still being updated but Big Blue has run into problems delivering the latest upgrade.
The upgrade, which IBM calls a "Convenience Pack", includes updated client and server software to subscription customers using its software choice service.
But a reader informs The Inquirer that the latest upgrade was due last month and IBM tells him it's delayed.
He said that he received a reply from IBM saying the following: "We ask for your continued patience as we service all our customers with the new shipments, due to the high volume of customers. Thank you".
High volume of customers - that's quite interesting. IBM had several chances to overtake Microsoft from 1987 onwards with OS/2, but they managed to bungle just about every move they made.

For years I've wanted a Tummy Tuck. In 2002, I made the mistake of having liposuction to the tummy and flank area because I wasn't educated enough and, the PS wasn't skilled enough to tell me that I was a candidate for tummy tuck instead. 10 years foward and I'll be having my TT surgery August 7th, 2012. I'm a proud mother of 3 daughters - giving birth to two and one being my daughter through marriage so I only had two births but the last took a serious toll on my body. I've hated my mid-section for far too long and I MUST say "bye" to the UGLY buldge. I've raised my children, now 20, 20 and 15 years old, dedicated16 years of marriage to my husband, worked full-time, attending school part-time, currently running a home-based travel business SO now it's time to DO-ME!. Pictures will be posted.
On June 18th I had a breast reduction (pictures and review posted on this site) and I'm very pleased.

After absorbing steady losses over the last several years, the tide has turned for paper manufacturers, a shift that could spell higher prices for publishers as well as supply issues. Paper prices rose an average of about 5% in January, and another 5% increase is set for April. Paper prices have risen in the past, only to be rolled back under pressure from customers. The January increase, however, has stuck, and there is every indication that the April rise will also hold.
While paper demand has risen slightly, the most important reason for the ability of paper companies to increase prices has to do with a sharp drop in supply. Citing rising energy costs, several mills have been shut over the last six to nine months, removing an estimated two million tons a month from the market. The decline could cause manufacturers to begin rationing paper later in the year.
The general feeling among printers at last week's printing meeting, Book Tech, was that small and medium-sized publishers would feel the impact of higher prices or a paper squeeze before the larger houses, many of which have long-term contracts and/or buy paper themselves. Several printers expressed concern that if paper and production costs in general became too high, smaller publishers will decide not to publish marginal books.
The owner of one major indie said she has already shifted the way her company acquires books, factoring in manufacturing costs before she makes an offer. If the higher costs make it impractical to do a reprint—and weaken the book's viability as a backlist title—the house is likely to pass on the book, she added. Another indie also touched on the reprint question, noting that if costs are too high, he would be more inclined to move a slow-selling book into print-on-demand rather than do a traditional second run.

One thing we learned is that the lock on the screen door doesn't hold any weight. A few times the baby almost fell out the door and down the metal steps.
We all know this could have been a disaster. My solution to this was installing a gate lock on the door. This is very easy to do and won't allow children to accidently fall out the door.
I positioned the lock so it can be reached from both inside and outside the door. I found the lock at the local hardware store and paid about $5.00 for the part.
To install the lock, all you need is a 1/8″ drill bit and pliers. Drill the hold in the frame of the screen door and on the wall next to the screen door. Use the pliers to tighten the hook and eye to the holes you drilled.
That's it!!! Now your screen door is kid proof.

The problem is that there is only "Fusion" under [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ in the Registry,
there is no "Fusion!EnableLog" so I can not set the DWORD to 1. Since it doesn't exist what can

Gangnam Style star Psy is unhappy 'being responsible'
South Korean singer Psy says he's unhappy with the "heavy pressure" of representing his country on a global scale.
"I don't want to live like that," the Gangnam Style singer confesses.
"I am not that responsible person. I hate the word responsibility. I wasn't responsible at all before Gangnam Style and now I gotta be good."
Psy, 34, says he was "bad ass" before the worldwide success of Gangnam Style.
The video has now been viewed more than 700 million times on YouTube.
Cultural honour
In previous concerts, Psy has dressed in revealing PVC outfits and covered Lady Gaga songs.
In 2011 he performed Beyonce's Single Ladies on stage wearing a leotard.
Earlier this month Psy was awarded the Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit by South Korea's Culture Ministry, for increasing awareness of South Korean pop music and interest in South Korea.
When asked how he felt about being used politically, Psy admitted he was "not that kind of person".
He also recounted a tale of being photographed in Toronto recently standing by a no smoking sign which did not go down well at home.
"There was a public ashtray there," Psy protested. "That's why I smoked there and everybody smokes there so I thought it was all right.
"But in Korea that was kind of a bit of trouble so people say, 'Oh Psy, you are representing our country so don't do that.'
"That kind of thing happens these days."
At the weekend Psy won best video for Gangnam Style at the MTV Europe Music Awards and he says he is working on his first international album.
That will be recorded half in English, half in Korean and will be released in 2013.

Miranda Lambert Teams Up With Shakira on 'The Voice'
Miranda Lambert is leaving her husband, Blake Shelton — sort of.
According to a recent report by Us Weekly, Lambert is joining Season 6 of 'The Voice,' serving as a celebrity mentor for Team Shakira. The magazine says that while Season 5 is still airing, Season 6 has already begun taping, with the country songstress helping the Latin artist instead of her own spouse.
But while the pairing might seem a bit odd, it certainly isn't evidence of any marital strife. "We had our ups and downs for damn sure along the way. I just could not imagine her not being in my life," Shelton insists. "I just couldn't get over her. I know I can't."
His wife wholeheartedly agrees."Like I always say, my mom said to my dad, 'Divorce is not an option,'" Lambert adds. "So, we really love each other and have a real marriage outside of all of this."
Season 6 of 'The Voice' will air in the spring. The current season airs on Monday and Tuesday nights on NBC.

Inside out: Ways to make indoors and outdoors complement each other
Inside should complement outside for a cohesive look
I was recently asked by a former client of ours to fly to Dallas to critique another interior designer's work on a commercial project. We had completed a similar building type in 2008 with resounding positive results; and the thought was that we could share our experiences and successes with the Dallas project.
I had been told that the Dallas project design wasn't "there" yet, wherever there is. Well, I can tell you from experience that "there" is different for every project and that communication is the usual suspect when expectations falter. Regardless, I didn't know what to expect. All I knew is that it was up to me to put my big girl pants on and become the mediator or counselor or both. A Grand Junction designer facing off with a Dallas designer? Awkward. And potentially dangerous.
When I finally saw the designers' presentation boards together with renderings of the exterior, everything made sense to me. The building had been designed and approved already; in fact, construction had begun. The architecture is the architecture. It speaks its own language. The interiors should complement it. They should speak as one and flow inside-out, outside-in. That is exactly what the designer had done – complement the building design. So if the interiors had fallen short of the client's expectations, attention should have been turned to the exterior, where the aesthetic statement began long ago.
The interiors of a building or a home should conform to the exterior. Is that a rule that I can point to in a book? No; but it just makes good sense. How odd would it be to approach a Telluride mountain home with stone and copper details only to walk through the door into a frilly Victorian guise? Just as a woman wouldn't dare wear tennis shoes with a cocktail dress, don't dare mix up the styles of your architecture and interior design.
At the end of the day, after "tweaking" a few finishes, fabrics, and colors, I am happy to report that the Dallas designer had done an excellent job, the client was reassured and confident, and a good time was had by all. No designers were harmed in the process.

Dodgers rookie rocks Rockies
Dodgers rookie rocks Rockies
It's easier.
At least, that's the way he made it look Friday night. Promoted from Triple-A to replace Mark Hendrickson in the rotation, Stults pitched the Dodgers to a 6-4 win over the Rockies, a three-game win streak jumping Los Angeles over Colorado into third place.
In seven innings, the left-hander allowed two runs on two hits and struck out nine (fanning the side twice), lowering his Major League ERA to 3.91 this year. It was only his second Dodgers start of the season (limiting the Mets to two runs in 5 1/3 innings of a July 22 no-decision in the other) and fourth of his career.
He has a 1.93 ERA as a Major League starter. He had a 7.56 ERA as a Minor League starter at Las Vegas this year.
"Sometimes I think, 'Why can't I do down there what I do up here?'" Stults said. "There are players in that league that deserve to be up here, but mostly it comes down to not trusting my stuff down there. Tonight, I just had the mind-set that I would trust it, and after a couple innings, I got on a roll.
"It's really just been a year I'd like to forget down there. Maybe I focus better up here because I know so much is at stake. Maybe it's the 110-degree heat down there or the fact the ball flies. I've tried to figure it out."
Supported by a five-run second inning that included Jeff Kent's 16th home run and Juan Pierre's two-run single, Stults retired the last 13 batters he faced. The only walk he issued triggered Colorado's two-run third inning.
"Give Russ [catcher Russell Martin] a lot of credit," Stults said. "The plan was to pound inside with the fastball and changeup away. Russ had a good feeling."
Stults has beaten Colorado this year as often as he's beaten Colorado Springs. He has as many big-league wins this year as Jason Schmidt, and one more after the All-Star break than Randy Wolf.
Schmidt and Wolf are contributing factors in Stults' third season of exile in Las Vegas. Their free-agent signings blocked Stults' career path, despite his valuable contributions down the stretch last year. Now the wealthy free agents are laid up with shoulder injuries, while the 27-year-old Stults and his rebuilt elbow are making rookie headlines.
"The Dodgers were trying to do what was best for them," Stults said of the signings. "It's up to me to take advantage of every opportunity I get. I've got to pitch every game like it could be my last game."
Manager Grady Little said that won't be the case this time, as Stults is expected to start Friday night in New York against the Mets, the team he beat last year for his first Major League victory.
"This was one of the best pitched games we've had all year long," Little said Friday night. "He had command, he changed speeds, he threw strikes. He went after hitters."
Stults was drafted in the 15th round of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft out of Bethel College in Indiana, made 19 appearances at three levels of the Dodgers' Minor League system that year, then underwent Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery.
Stults pitched only 10 games and 41 innings in 2003, then just 19 games and 31 2/3 innings in 2004. Finally fully healthy, he split the 2005 season between Double-A Jacksonville, where he had a 3.31 ERA, and Las Vegas, where he struggled with a 6.58 ERA. Back at Las Vegas in 2006, he went 10-11 with a 4.26 ERA.
Stults said the offensive support gave him early breathing room and he contributed, scoring one run and doubling to raise his career stats to 5-for-12. Kent and Pierre led the attack against Colorado starter Josh Fogg, but that wasn't a surprise. On their careers, Kent is 14-for-30 with six homers off Fogg, and Pierre, after going 2-for-4, is 15-for-31.
Pierre also recorded his 50th stolen base, the first Dodger to reach that mark since Eric Young had 51 in 1999. Pierre is hitting .377 during August.
Although Mark Sweeney's RBI single in the seventh inning cashed in Pierre's triple and extended the Dodgers' lead to 6-2, Scott Proctor turned the game into a save situation when he allowed a one-out, two-run homer to Garrett Atkins in the ninth inning.
On came Takashi Saito for the last two outs and his 32nd save, his third in as many games.

Over the past years Cerritos College has worked under an informal Computer Replacement Plan that was driven by the various budget managers. Each department/division used their individual funds and prioritized the order and timing for computer replacements within their respective areas based upon their unique needs and available funds. Occasionally there were additional funds that were made available by the appropriate vice president to cover unique situations, such as new faculty or staff hires. Academic computer labs/classrooms were funded by VTEA, instructional equipment money, TTIP, or general funds, depending on availability.
Recently a new board goal has directed information technology to, "Develop a plan for replacing faculty, staff and administrator computers on a regular cycle". This will help ensure that all technology on campus is kept up-to-date, and that the funding for this plan is clearly established across multiple years. Previously, only computers in academic labs and a small portion of exception areas were updated on a regular cycle. Staff and faculty computers on campus were not under any formal replacement plan. The result was a wide variance in the capabilities of computers across the campus and a time consuming cascading process for the information technology staff.
To address these issues all computers across the campus will be placed on a regularly scheduled replacement cycle based upon our current information technology standards. There are three separate processes to replace our existing computer technology:
The goals of the technology replacement plan are to:
The Employee Replacement Process covers all faculty, staff, and administrative computers, notebooks, and Macintosh workstations assigned to district employees. It includes workstations for faculty, classified staff and administrators as well as general use computers shared in an area or used by substitute or part-time workers. Areas which are funded on a cost recovery basis, such as Community Education or specific grants, may not be covered under this replacement plan.
This plan will be executed as follows:
This process calls for the replacement of all employee computers every five years. To accomplish this goal, the campus has been divided geographically into five equal parts, based on the number of employee computers in each area. Each year new computers will be provided to all employee users in each of these designated areas. PC's for new positions will also be funded by this plan. During the first cycles of this plan, if the new position will be located in an area that has yet to be fully replaced, then a recycled computer will be made available.
To accomplish this goal a timetable and budget has been recommended, which includes the prioritization for the areas. Individual machines that will be replaced are detailed on this worksheet . The process will start with Year 1 computers being ordered around July 2006, so the installation disruption can occur during summer. There will be approximately 200 new workstations installed each fiscal year under the employee replacement process.
In some situations users may be required to run special software or perform unique tasks as part of their assigned job duties, and may need a computer with more memory, a faster processor, a larger monitor, or a larger hard disk than the one they are using or will be assigned. Users in this situation may request that their workstation be evaluated to determine an appropriate upgrade path. IT may recommend additional memory, a larger hard drive, or possibly a newer workstation. The user's division/department may be required to fund these upgrades if there are not adequate funds within the replacement budget.
While we expect that the majority of requests will come at the beginning of the fiscal year, requests will be reviewed throughout the year to handle unforeseen changes in job duties, etc.
Please submit this form to request an exception to the Computer Replacement Process. This is also to be used to request the installation of non-standard software; please list title and version. Appropriate signatures are required. If a user requires local administrative privileges (which is rare), please contact the Manager or Director of Information Technology because there is another form required.
To prepare for the delivery of your new click here.
The Classroom/Lab Computer Replacement Process covers student and instructor workstations in computer labs, technology enhanced classrooms, traditional classrooms, laboratories, and the library. The process covers monitors, workstations, notebooks, and Macintosh computers. Areas which are funded on a cost recovery basis, such as Community Education or specific grants, may not be covered under this replacement plan.
The process calls for the replacement of PCs and Macintoshes every five years. To accomplish this goal, the College has created a lab replacement schedule for the academic computer labs. The schedule begins with the 2005-06 fiscal year and details subsequent years including estimated costs. This timetable should be reviewed by various constituency groups and provide any feedback as soon as possible. Based on the feedback received, adjustments are made to ensure that appropriate technology resources are available in each area.
Prior to the start of the installations, a communication will be sent to various departments to announce the timeframe for replacements. We will also provide a detailed worksheet with various information that the appropriate manager must validate and also provide information Technology with room locations for each computer installation. Information Technology staff will set up specific installation dates with each area as they are ready to be installed into the labs/classrooms. The division manager should contact Patrick O'Donnell x2171 with details about the software that is required to be installed into the labs.
Near the conclusion of the new computer installations, the installation of cascaded computers will begin. The pool of cascaded computers will be installed into the areas or locations that fall at the bottom of the priority list. We will work from the bottom of the priority list toward the top. Cascaded computers will be assigned based on need and availability. The Computer Replacement Plan will nearly eliminate all cascades by year three.

Prospectus Today
Seven Days of Bliss
I'm having all kinds of problems writing lately. There's just so much stuff to write about and such a desire to get it out quickly, because the next day brings that much more material. I'll be writing about one topic and in my head I'm trying to get out thoughts on three others. I wrote seven columns last week, some of them Joe's-on-meth specials, and I still feel like I completely short-shrifted the Yankees/Twins and Cubs/Braves series. It's not because I didn't want to write about them or didn't have something to say; it's because I just didn't have the time to cover them.
If you're a Yankees fan or a Cubs fan and you're mad at me, rest assured that I'll be all over your favorite teams this week. It'll be easier now that we're down to two series, of course.
Before I get into last night's Game Five, I want to go back to Saturday night's events in Boston. I've gotten a lot of e-mail on the two bizarre baserunning plays in which the A's were involved, and the feedback has been terrific.
Upon further review, I agree with the call made on Bill Mueller's obstruction of Miguel Tejada. While there was definitely obstruction, the umpires cannot be expected to grant a run solely based on that fact. They have to see that the obstruction prevented the run from scoring, and in this case, what prevented the run from scoring was Tejada stopping between third and home. Whether he didn't know the rule and reacted based on Bill Welke's signal (which did NOT stop play), his actions did more to prevent the run from scoring than Mueller's did. Good call, and a nod to Jason Grady for getting it right from the start.
As far as plate-blocking goes, I should have made it more clear that I don't think Jason Varitek should have been called for obstruction when blocking Eric Byrnes off the plate. That's not the time to start setting precedents, as much as I believe what Varitek was doing stretches the bounds of fairness. I raised the issue because I think the problem of catchers setting up too early is epidemic, and it needs to be addressed.
A few readers brought up the phantom double play, and how often umpires overlook strict rule enforcement when a middle infielder leaves the bag before receiving a throw. I think that's a good parallel, with one key difference: when a middle infielder does this, it's in part to avoid injury. When a catcher blocks the plate early, it actually increases the risk of injury by increasing the chance of contact.
Hopefully, MLB will tighten the application of Rule 7.06 to rein in catchers. It's the right thing to do, and it should have a small positive impact on player health.
On to Game Five...I usually watch games in my home office while typing notes and sending e-mails. Lots of e-mails.
Time: 5:05 p.m... Subject: Red Sox... Walker, Ortiz and Nixon all playing. Bye-bye.
I shouldn't have been surprised by this, but I was. Todd Walker and David Ortiz can't hit lefties, and they looked helpless against Barry Zito in Game Two. If Grady Little was going to play them, the least he could have done is get them out of the #3 and #5 batting slots. Apparently learning nothing from Game Two, he didn't, which convinced me that the Sox wouldn't be able to score enough, or perhaps at all.
(Note: Jonah Keri replied to this with a prediction of his own: 4-2, Red Sox. Nice call.)
Time: 6:50 p.m... Subject: Hitting Walker... That's just awful. Todd Walker has embarrassed himself against Zito. He's an automatic out. Allowing him to reach is such a huge swing, especially with Manny up.
Walker hit .234/.282/.373 against lefties this year. His possession of Ricardo Rincon's soul aside, he can't hit southpaws. In six plate appearances against Zito in the ALDS, he'd hit four weak grounders, a soft fly to left and struck out.
Time: 7:14 p.m... Subject: Re: Hitting Walker... Hitting Walker was the season. They don't do that, it's 2-1 right now. Little starting Walker and Ortiz #3 and #5 against Zito is the equivalent of saying, "My time-share week in Puerto Rico starts Friday, and I don't plan on losing it."
If Zito doesn't hit Walker, Walker almost certainly makes a weak out. That leaves Zito facing Manny Ramirez with two outs and a runner on first or second, and Ortiz on deck. The path out of that inning is pretty smooth. By gifting Walker first base, Zito was forced to handle Ramirez more aggressively. He'd lost just enough on his fastball to make that a losing proposition.
Time: 7:19 p.m... Subject: Brutal... The collision will get all the attention, but how stupid do you have to be to get thrown out on the bases in this situation?
Jermaine Dye was once a toolsy player with good speed. He's now a slow shell of his former self, barely able to move 90 feet at a time, and a liability in the outfield. When he got the gift of a single on his two-out, seventh-inning fly ball when Johnny Damon and Damian Jackson collided, he should have stayed on first and allowed the tying run to come to the plate. Getting gunned down at second base was a terrible, terrible play.
The A's' poor baserunning was a theme in this series. The two plays Saturday were pretty much the reason tonight's game was even played, but the one that sticks in my craw was Jose Guillen being thrown out going first-to-third on a single to left field with nobody out in the fourth inning of Sunday's game. One of the few pieces of baseball's received wisdom that has merit is the idea that you don't make the first or the last out of an inning at third base. The risks far outweigh the benefits of the extra 90 feet in both situations.
Now, that should lead to criticism of Guillen getting thrown out last night trying to stretch his tiebreaking double into a triple. However, it's common practice to have the trail runner advance in that situation, in part to "protect" the runner trying to score. In addition, Damon and Trot Nixon were playing "you got it, I'll take it" with the baseball, so Ron Washington had reason to wave Guillen around. Credit Nomar Garciaparra with a tremendous relay throw to nail Guillen.
The collision on Dye's single was horrifying, so much so that Fox not only showed it 37 times, but they're considering adding, "Baseball's Worst Collisions" as a mid-season replacement. I wouldn't expect Johnny Damon back before Saturday at the earliest, and maybe not until March. He might not even be able to fly before the weekend.
More disturbing is that Damian Jackson stayed in the game. Perhaps he wasn't as bad off as Damon, but there's virtually no way he didn't need to be examined carefully and immediately. I understand the desire of players to stay on the field, and also the need the Sox had to not lose their best defensive second baseman. Nevertheless, any standard of care would seem to mandate that Jackson leave the game and the ballpark, and be treated as a concussion victim.
Time: 8:13 p.m... Subject: Bunt?... I say, "no," just because Williamson is a high-K guy, and Williamson/Dye is a terrible ball-in-play matchup. I'd actually use Melhuse to hit for Dye, who is an awful player right now. If Lowe comes in, things change. Then I like the bunt. I love Singleton in the #9 spot right now.
Time: 8:14... Subject: Bunt?... Following up...I also bunt because Lowe's explosive sinking stuff has a reasonable chance of sneaking away, and I want the runner on third for that.
Derek Lowe did come in, and Ramon Hernandez did bunt. Adam Melhuse hit for Dye. At that point, you had to like the A's chances. Lowe doesn't strike out many hitters, and he gets a lot of ground balls. One through the infield would likely win the game for the A's. If Melhuse, an underrated hitter, drew a walk, the tough-to-double-up Chris Singleton would be coming up next. A tie game seemed likely, and a 5-4 A's victory within reach.
Time: 8:44... Subject: Re: The Game... How freaking nasty were the two strikeout pitches Lowe threw? I don't think there's a hitter on earth--Bonds included--who gets to those.
Melhuse didn't like the call on the 2-2 pitch on which he was called out, but it was a strike, just as the 1-2 to Terrence Long that ended the game was a strike. They were just about unhittable pitches, located beautifully--the first pitches up in the strike zone in both at-bats, which no doubt was a factor in the reactions of the hitters.
Much will be made of the fact that this is the fourth straight season in which the A's lost in the Division Series, all of them in the final game. They've lost nine straight games in which they had a chance to eliminate their opponent, the kind of fact that can become an epitaph. I'm reluctant to make the leap from that fact to an indictment of the players' character, however, because these are successful people who, like all of us, are more than our work. The rush to brand the A's with all kinds of labels that assail their collective character is wrong. As you read what will be an avalanche of stories that glorify the Red Sox players and make the A's out to be chokers, remember that it's all media nonsense. The outcome of a baseball game, a series, or even multiple trips to the playoffs don't define a man's character, good or bad.
The A's lost because they played baseball poorly at the wrong times. Is their baserunning a problem? It would seem so, but remember that this A's team allowed the fewest runs in the league and scored the sixth-fewest. They played a lot of close games, and if their baserunning was such a problem, it would stand to reason that it would have shown up in their record.
The A's didn't just do this to themselves, however. They also lost because the Red Sox played good baseball. The Sox's much-maligned bullpen provided great innings in this series, with Mike Timlin and Scott Williamson coming up huge. (I believe Williamson is the first pitcher to throw in every game of a five-game Division Series.) In the aggregate they hit poorly, but on three straight days they got monster clutch hits from Trot Nixon, David Ortiz, and Manny Ramirez.
The Sox move on, but the big winners were baseball fans. For seven straight days (can you believe it's just seven), we were treated to exciting, pressure-packed baseball. It wasn't always great baseball--in some cases, it was downright ugly--but every day and every night there was the kind of tension that only this game, the one without a clock, the one that doesn't let you run your offense through your stars, can provide.
Tonight, this amazing October continues as the Cubs and Marlins open the NLCS. That is one weird sentence. I know people who picked the Cubs, and I even know people who picked the Marlins, but I don't know anyone who had both. We're either going to see the Cubs reach their first World Series since 1945, or watch the Marlins--a member of baseball's nominal underclass--go to their second in the last seven years.
This matchup is defined by an insane amount of great young starting pitching. It's likely that no one over 30 will start a game, which would make this the first time since the 1986 World Series that has happened.
That young starting pitching, or more accurately, the condition of that pitching, is the biggest factor in the series and the hardest to predict. Dusty Baker has placed a tremendous workload on his young starters. Two members of the Cubs' rotation, Mark Prior and Carlos Zambrano, have blown past their previous peak workloads, while Kerry Wood is just now breaking new ground.
While Jack McKeon has been much more careful about the innings he's gotten from his two very young starters, both Josh Beckett and Dontrelle Willis are into uncharted territory. Neither has ever thrown this many innings or worked this deep into a season before. The team whose starters show the least fatigue may well win the series based on that alone.
A mitigating factor is that these are two of the more impatient teams in the league. Neither walks much--they ranked 13th and 14th in the NL--and the Marlins don't strike out very often. Pitchers may be able to get through innings more quickly than is usually the case. At this point in the season, every saved pitch counts.
In facing the Cubs, the Marlins have the same problem the Braves did, only worse: their lineup is so heavily right-handed that they will have their hands full with the Cubs' power right-handers. Juan Pierre and Luis Castillo will have to reach base frequently for the Marlins to have any chance of scoring enough runs to win, and those two players will have to be very careful about picking their spots to run. The Cubs allowed the fifth-fewest steals and the third-lowest success rate in the NL. Getting the two table-setters on base will be especially important against Zambrano and Matt Clement, who both pitch much better with the bases empty. Something to watch: the Cubs have very poor range on the infield corners, and only Prior is a good defensive pitcher. Pierre and Castillo may make a nice living with bunts.
The Marlins took advantage of the Giants' mediocre outfield range with a lot of singles and doubles and taking extra bases. The Cubs have a similarly challenged set of flycatchers, but have been able to minimize the damage they cause because they have a strikeout-heavy staff and a small pasture to cover in Wrigley Field. In three of these games, they'll have only one of those things going for them. For that reason, I think it's important that the Cubs win the first two games in Chicago. They're going to have a hard time keeping the Marlins from picking up singles and doubles when the series shifts to Miami; Moises Alou, Kenny Lofton, and Sammy Sosa just can't cover the necessary ground.
This series is basically a battle of strikeout rates, not unlike last year's AL Division Series between the Yankees and Angels. The Cubs' staff set records for strikeouts, while the Marlins were the third-hardest team in the league to whiff. If the Cubs get 10 to 12 strikeouts a game, the Marlins won't be able to take sufficient advantage of the Cubs' defense or their own speed. If the Marlins put more balls in play, they'll get more than their share of hits, and their offense will work.
I think the Cubs are the better team, but I expect to see some degradation in the performance of at least two starting pitchers (most likely Zambrano and Prior), which will exacerbate the team's defensive issues. That will be enough to push the Marlins over the top. Fish in six, but Cubs tonight, 6-5, as both Zambrano and Josh Beckett struggle a little.

A 31-year-old employee of a Lancaster Christian school was jailed in lieu of $1.2 million bail Friday, accused of abusing two children while they were at Sunday services, authorities said.
Jonathan Michael Macy — arrested about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday — was booked on suspicion of child molestation and was to make his initial court appearance in Lancaster, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
On Aug. 5, sheriff's Special Victims Unit detectives began investigating "an allegation of child molestation involving a young female child and an employee at Desert Christian School" in the 44600 block of 15th Street West, according to a Sheriff's Department statement.
"Over the course of the investigation, a second victim of molestation was identified. Both victims had come to know the suspect due to his employment at Grace Chapel Church, which is located on the campus of Desert Christian School. The acts of molestation occurred while the children were at Grace Chapel Church for Sunday church services," read the statement.
Macy was also employed as a teacher at St. Mary's School in Palmdale, according to the Sheriff's Department, which reported that both schools have been cooperating in the investigation. Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact Special Victims Bureau officers at 877-710-5273.

A new day is dawning, of sorts, for UD Trucks– a Japanese truck maker formerly known as Nissan Diesel America and now a subsidiary of Sweden's VolvoGroup. And this "new day" is rising in the form of an all-new multi-model truck line dubbed the "Quester" that's being aimed at the heart of Asia's ever more lucrative commercial vehicle markets.
Joachim Rosenberg – chairman of UD Trucks and Volvo's executive VP-group trucks sales & marketing in Asia – said in a statement that the Quester is "designed especially for growth markets" and shall make its debut in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia this year.
"The Quester is a modern yet affordable vehicle; it allows customization for most transport requirements and it is based on a complete and up-to-date heavy duty truck platform designed to serve a wide range of applications and it enables excellent fuel consumption and high average speeds," he explained.
To his thinking, Rosenberg believes the Quester represents the "best of three worlds" from the perspective below:
"In addition to the truck itself with its all-new cab, driveline, electronic architecture and fuel savings features, Quester is also supported by a large and expanding service network providing UD Genuine Service and UD Genuine Parts to ensure best possible uptime," Rosebnberg added.
This new truck comes at a good time for the OEM, as it stopped productionof cabover medium-duty trucks in Japan aimed for the North American market at the end of 2012 – a move that came just two years after its North American division celebrated its 25thanniversary serving the U.S. marketand after several efforts spent trying to reinvigorate its product line for commercial operators in this country.
UD's Rosenberg pointed out that the Quester will showcase other advantages, including the OEM's proprietary telematics service will be introduced through Quester in selected markets to collect information and closely monitor vehicle condition, along with a Fuel Coaching Systemto give instant feedback and assistance to drivers to help them drive as economically as possible, while maintaining average trip times.
He added that a production system for completely built-up UD Trucks is under development in Thailand, India and China; a system obviously designed to expand on demand should the Quester spark interest among Asian truck owners.
Now, could this truck mayhap wend its way to U.S. shores one day? That remains to be seen. Let's see how it does within Asian commercial truck markets first.

By now, you probably know that Liam McIntyre has replaced Andy Whitfield as Spartacus on the Starz Channel's hit TV show, and if you don't know, then you don't care about "Spartacus" anyway, so this shouldn't be of much interest to you anyhow.
Moving on: Here's your first look at actor Liam McIntyre as the newly minted Spartacus in the show's upcoming second season, titled, "Spartacus: Vengeance". Two of the pics show Spartacus engaged in fights (to the death, we presume — this is Spartacus, after all) with some Roman Centurions, while the third pic is a promo of McIntyre looking all badass and whatnot.
McIntyre, along with the cast and crew of "Vengeance", are scheduled to attend Comic Con later this month. "Spartacus: Vengeance" will make its bow in early 2012.

About this project
The Undrawn follows the exploits of six ridiculous, drunk, slutty and ineffective superhero bottom feeders at SuperCorp. They are led by a sincerely inept boss in their plight to make a name for themselves and achieve the ultimate success - getting drawn in a comic book and even nabbing a movie franchise in the name of crimefighting!
The Office meets The X-Men.
We have already put our money where our mouth is to show you what this series will be about. We have financed, shot and chopped the 7 main character "intros" plus a "SuperTeaser" that will be uploaded throughout this campaign on Kickstarter. There will be a NEW VIDEO each TUESDAY and FRIDAY until the premiere of the "SuperTeaser" as the finale. We hope these will help you fall in love (and disgust) with these characters as much as we have, show you we have the chops to make a kick-ass series that will entertain the hell out of you and give you something to share throughout the online world that will make you look supercool!
We want to turn to like-minded people to really get this off the ground. We know we are onto something great and we want to shoot a series that will be uncensored, unstoppable and right now! We are looking to raise $12,000 for a 6-episode arc, which we plan on stretching as inventively as we can. This money will go to cast, crew, locations, costumes, vfx, color correct and all those other costs that crop up. It is a bare bones budget for our scripts and our vision, but we know that we have the talent and passion in place to get it done.
For your rewards we have a lot to offer! Not only a bunch of awesome merch and swag, but also the ability to become a creative member of The Undrawn team with WRITER and PRODUCER CREDITS - the type of credits you can throw around over drinks at your local bar that will make you look much more awesome than your friend during that lull in conversation!

Rob Zombie Releases "Lords Of Salem" Trailer and it is…Kinda Boring. [VIDEO]
I love Rob Zombie, and I've liked his movies so far. I even thought his Woolite commercial was pretty well done. Maybe he should have quit while he was ahead.
He finally released the trailer for the new movie "Lords Of Salem" and its mostly pointless. It looks more like one of his videos where there's really not much of a story line to follow. So you won't get any idea what this movie is supposed to be about from this. IT does star his wife Sherri Moon though…so we might get to see her naked again which is awesome.
