Anticipated reductions in the number of U.S. troops in Iraq in 2009 will not ease the demand for U.S. Army aviation there, the commanding general of the Army Aviation Warfighting Center at Fort Rucker, Ala. told the Association of the United States Army's (AUSA) annual aviation symposium and exposition January 7-9. Maj. Gen. James O. Barclay III said in a speech to the gathering that a troop drawdown in Iraq and an expected troop buildup in Afghanistan will only increase the strain on his service's aviation fleet. "We're not seeing any drawdowns, we're only seeing plus-ups," Barclay said.
"As you have less ground forces to cover the same terrain, the requirement for Army aviation goes up to move those fewer ground forces across the battle space," Barclay said of Iraq. As for Afghanistan, he noted, the Pentagon announced in December that the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division will become the second Army Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB) to deploy there this spring. The announcement "turned the whole model upside down for us" in Army deployment planning, he said.
With four CABs in Iraq, Barclay said, a third of the Army's 12 active duty and six reserve CABs will be at war in 2009 at any given time. On average, that leaves returning aviation brigades little time to reset — disassemble the dynamic components of their helicopters, repair and replace parts, and retrain before redeploying. "You're meeting yourself coming and going," Barclay said.
The AUSA symposium, held in the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Va., featured product displays by 25 vendors. A recurring theme in a day-and-a-half of panel discussions was uncertainty about what aircraft the Army will need and build in the years after its existing helicopters and airplanes have exceeded their useful service lives. Retired Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan, president of AUSA, told the more than 300 attendees, including about 100 military officers and dozens of industry representatives, that the major issue is "quo vadis: Where is Army aviation going in the future?" Sullivan, who retired in 1995 as chief of staff of the Army, urged younger officers to keep in mind that "twenty-five years is not very long. Twenty-five years ago we had many of the frames that are in service today."
Brig. Gen. William T. Crosby, program executive officer for aviation at Redstone Arsenal, Ala., struck a similar note. After nearly eight years of war, the Army helicopter fleet has logged nearly 2.8 million flight hours, with many aircraft flying roughly four to six times as many hours a month as in peacetime. "If you're burning up your fleet at four to five times the rate, you'd better have a plan to replace them four to five times faster," Crosby said.
Col. Joseph B. Jellison, director of the Concept Requirements Directorate at the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence, said those pondering what aircraft the Army will need in 2025 and beyond "are free-thinking and we are very welcome to anything industry brings to us."

Two Individuals Arrested For Illicit Prescription Drug Trafficking In Seminole County
A Sergeant from the Sanford Police Department has been put on administrative leave stemming from this investigation
ORLANDO, FL - Mark R. Trouville, Special Agent in Charge, Drug Enforcement (DEA), Miami Field Division, and Pam Bondi, Attorney General of Florida, announce the arrest of two individuals charged in violation of the Florida drug statutes. The arrest warrants for Damieian Trivieino (Lake Mary, 40) and Elizabeth Ann (Casselberry, 33) come following a five month Title III investigation into the illicit prescription drug trafficking ring being operated out of Seminole County. In addition, Sergeant Cynthia Littles-Irvin, of the Sanford Police Department, was placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation and outcome of the DEA investigation.
Tillman is charged with conspiracy to traffic hydromorphone, trafficking hydromorphone, possession of conveyance used for the sale of controlled substances, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Taylor is charged with conspiracy to traffic hydromorphone.
Based on the charging documents, from June to August 2013, Tillman sold approximately 240 hydromorphone pills to an undercover agent on four different occasions. Also, Taylor brokered numerous illicit drug transactions between Tillman and her customers in the Lake County area.
The investigation also revealed that Tillman's live-in girlfriend is Sergeant Littles-Irvin, who has been with the Sanford Police Department for 15 years. Sergeant Littles-Irvin has not been charged at this time.
This ongoing investigation is being conducted by the DEA, with the assistance from the Sanford Police Department and is being prosecuted by the Attorney General's Office of Statewide Prosecution.The charging document is merely an accusation and the defendants are assumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Medtronic hunts for new technology around the globe – Interview with Dr. Steve Oesterle
Medtronic takes hunt for new technology to ends of the Earth (FN.com)
When trying to visualize what Dr. Stephen Oesterle does at Medtronic, a baseball analogy helps.
Consider Oesterle an international scout, scouring the planet for new technologies that push the envelope of medical devices beyond what Medtronic does now. In much the same way a baseball scout looks for the next great phenom with a radar-busting fastball, Oesterle travels some 250,000 miles a year to find inventors, companies, researchers and institutions that are developing technologies that could be relevant to medicine and to Medtronic.
He then encourages Medtronic to pursue partnerships, financial investment or collaboration that will someday benefit the Fridley med-tech giant's product portfolio and, by extension, its financial fortunes.
Oesterle's big-picture, sometimes-devil's-advocate, job is critical to Medtronic's fortunes. With more of Medtronic's 17 billion in annual revenue coming from overseas customers — and an estimated 70 percent of the company's growth coming from outside the United States — staying attuned to innovation is vital to helping Medtronic maintain its world leadership position. "Innovation is global," Oesterle, 61, said in a recent interview. "And I think the next decade will be the most fruitful in medical devices."
Some of the technologies to enter Medtronic's product pipeline during Oesterle's decadelong watch include a "patch" insulin pump that is disposable, a pacemaker-like device that delivers a pulse to the sacral nerve to help control bowel movements for people with fecal incontinence, and a replacement aortic valve that is implanted with a catheter without open heart surgery.
His position is senior vice president for medicine and technology. It splices the role of chief medical officer, which exists at many medical technology companies, with someone who has the technological chops and connections to recognize Medtronic's Next Big Thing– either inside the company or out.
Oesterle looks at internal operations and research and development. He visits every Medtronic business unit, from the United States to India and China, every quarter. Sometimes, he asks the question: "Should we be doing this? Or should we be letting somebody else do it?"
Because Oesterle said 20 percent of innovation comes from small companies, he visits the little guys, too — from the Twin Cities to Israel to Switzerland to Ireland. Medtronic, he said, has a minority stake in about 70 different companies, and Oesterle is on the boards of 10 small start-ups.
Because innovation comes from the military, from universities, from large multinational giants like IBM, Apple, Microsoft and Cisco, he makes connections there, as well. And, because the people who invest in ideas are among the best-informed, Oesterle knows and meets with venture capitalists and private equity partners from around the world.
He has 8,000 people in his contacts file, and not one of them is from Medtronic.
Dr. Glen Nelson was the first person at Medtronic to have the job — although he was also vice chairman and a member of the company's board of directors, positions of authority that Oesterle does not have.
Nelson said the job is much more than a scout.
"The role of a person like Steve is to keep people's sights set out over the future, so they are not ignoring what is coming," Nelson said. "You have to spot the big opportunities and the big innovation, sometimes even cannibalizing your own products."
Nelson admitted the job sometimes involves advising that certain products or projects be shut down or shifted if the promise doesn't appear to be panning out.
"If you don't have somebody like Steve in a company, you don't have anybody sort of raising their hand to say 'Wait a minute,'" he said.
Yet, that person also must have the vision to stick with an idea, sometimes years before its commercial success is assured. One example of sticking with it involves Medtronic's deep brain stimulation products, which were seen by some in the company in the 1980s as unlikely to do well, Nelson said.
"It takes vision and then it takes consistency to carry those through, because those opportunities are not binary," he said.
He added: "Steve is able to gain the confidence of the senior management that his vision and insight is valuable."
Oesterle said he is uncomfortable talking about projects he recommended Medtronic mothball, in part because a key part of his job is developing relationships with the leaders of the various business units.
He said that's his biggest challenge. At a company with autonomous businesses that make their own decisions on projects, he can only influence their choices.
"How do you go to people responsible for profit and loss and convince them to try to change their strategies or alter them?" he asked. "I have to have credibility withthem."
Medtronic CEO Omar Ishrak was not available to comment for this story. But former CEO Art Collins said Oesterle's recommendations were an important factor in business decisions he made.
"I wanted him to challenge the status quo," Collins said.
"As I told Steve on numerous occasions, I didn't think the business units would always follow his advice. But at least he would get them to think in a different way."
At first, reluctant
Oesterle was an interventional cardiologist of national renown when Medtronic hired him more than a decade ago to take over after Nelson's retirement. At the time, he was working at Massachusetts General Hospital as director of invasive cardiology services. He also was teaching at Harvard University Medical School. He had previously developed and directed programs at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, Georgetown University and at Stanford University.
He had worked as a consultant for medical device companies and established scholarships to train cardiologists from developing countries.
In many ways, Oesterle's resume made him a perfect candidate for the job.
But when Medtronic approached him, Oesterle told the recruiter that he already had a dream job.
"I was having a good time, minding my own business," said Oesterle, who also was regularly running in the Boston Marathon.
But it's hard to say no when Medtronic — and its 1.5 billion research and development budget — comes calling. Collins persuaded Oesterle to come to Minnesota to hear him out.
"His reputation was beyond reproach. One of my biggest challenges was to entice a very successful practicing physician to leave the practice of medicine and, as Steve would say, come over to the dark side," Collins said in an interview.
Oesterle admits he was intrigued. But he had to also persuade his wife, Adrienne, to make another move with two young children — after insisting they were settled.
He need not have worried. Adrienne, a former nurse, has family in Chicago and after learning more, welcomed a chance to be closer to them. She said she has fallen in love with the Twin Cities, and their children have grown up here.
And what about his quarter of a million miles of travel each year?
"We work together," she said, noting that he has pushed and prodded a demanding schedule over the years to make it in time to hockey games and school events and family time.
She, too, finds his job fascinating and says it fits the curiosity and thirst for knowledge that are "part of his fiber."
There have been trade-offs. As a physician, Oesterle cherished his relationships with patients and their families. As a teacher, he loved bringing life-saving knowledge to a new generation of doctors. But he's learned his role at Medtronic can make an imprint on the health of millions.
"I realized this could be the most interesting job a physician could have."

from the Ancestry Daily News
Michael John Neill – 11/28/2001
The "confusing" census entry is viewable at: www.rootdig.com/census/verikios1920.html
I must admit the census entry confused me. The wife was a native of the state of New York State and was listed in the 1920 census as an unnaturalized alien. There is an "x" in the box for her year of immigration to the United States.
All other records clearly indicated the individual in question, Mary Verikios, had been born in New York State. While looking at other individuals on the same census page, I noted that a female neighbor born in Wisconsin was also listed as an alien with no date of naturalization or immigration. The commonality was that both ladies were married to men who were immigrant aliens. This connection warranted further study. It turned out that for these two ladies (and thousands of others), their choice of a husband impacted their citizenship.
The problem centers around the history of women in regards to naturalization.
The census entries for both women indicate they were probably married around 1910. I learned that under the law in effect at that time, both women would have lost their citizenship upon their marriage to an alien. To further compound the problem, courts during this era and for some time before frequently held that women derived their citizenship status from that of their husband. There were exceptions (single women filing homestead claims were sometimes naturalized whether they were a widow or had never been married).
The history of naturalization in the United States is somewhat complex. The complexity is aggravated for women by the fact that the laws regarding naturalization and females were ambiguous, especially before 1907. For a significant portion of American history, a woman's citizenship status was derived from the status of her husband. In many cases immigrant women were naturalized "by default" upon their marriage to a citizen or upon their foreign-born husband obtaining citizenship. This derivative type of citizenship is the reason there are few naturalization records for immigrant women for most of American history. For those who were "naturalized by marriage" there generally is no mention of them in any records before 27 September 1906, when Congress standardized the naturalization process and required names of spouse and children on naturalization paperwork. Also, until women received the right to vote, there was little reason for many to bother with the expense and procedure of naturalization. However, there are occasionally naturalization records for women in the 1880s, 1890s and later. Many of the children "naturalized by default" via their father's naturalization, but not listed specifically, later went through the naturalization process themselves.
To reduce confusion, here is a brief chronology relevant to the problem at hand:
How Does This Impace Marie?
Marie's husband, Peter Verikios, was naturalized in 1934. Marie and Peter divorced in 1940. Marie subsequently married another U.S. citizen a few years later. None of these events made a difference in Marie's status after she married Peter, for they all took place after the Cable Act of 1922, which separated a woman's citizenship status from that of her husband. Her marriage to Peter between 1907 and 1922 was the "problem" in regards to her citizenship status.
Where Should I Go?
That one little "X" in the 1920 census really gave me a history lesson.

Mayor's Office
The League of American Bicyclists today announced that Lincoln has been named a Bronze Level Bicycle Friendly Community. The award recognizes Lincoln's commitment to improving conditions for bicycling through investment in promotion, education, infrastructure and policies. Lincoln also recently received an honorable mention award from the Walk Friendly Communities program for its efforts improved walkability and pedestrian safety through programs, plans and policies.
A presentation ceremony for both awards is planned for 4:30 p.m. Friday, May 18 as part of the Bike to Work ice cream social at the Jayne Snyder Trails Center in Union Plaza.
"Our entire community can take pride in our efforts to promote biking and walking," said Mayor Chris Beutler. "When our residents bike or walk instead of drive, they are improving their health, reducing pollution and setting a good example for others. The recent awards recognize our outstanding trail system and the other improvements we have made to encourage biking and walking."
"The popularity of this program is clear evidence that investment in bicycling is a major catalyst in creating the kind of vibrant communities people want to live, work and visit," said Andy Clarke, President of the League of American Bicyclists. "Lincoln recognizes that simple steps to make bicycling safe and comfortable pay huge dividends in civic, community and economic development."
Lincoln is now one of 214 Bike Friendly Communities in 47 states. Since the program's inception, more than 500 communities have applied for recognition, and Clarke said the four levels of the award (platinum, gold, silver and bronze) provide an incentive for continuous improvement. More information about the program is available at bikeleague.org/community.
Lincoln is involved in several projects to promote biking, including Bike to Work Week through May 18; the fourth annual Biketacular and Capital City Criterium Saturday; the Lincoln Bicycle Commuter Challenge now through August 31; and Trail Trek Sunday, June 24. More information on these events is available at lincoln.ne.gov.
The Bicycle Friendly Community, Bicycle Friendly State, Bicycle Friendly Business and Bicycle Friendly University programs are generously supported by program partners Bikes Belong and Trek Bicycle's One World, Two Wheels Campaign. To learn more about building a Bicycle Friendly America, visit http://www.bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/.
The League promotes bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation, and works through advocacy and education for a bicycle friendly America.

Either way, i never had fish on my pizza. lol, So i'll never know how it taste With it. xD
Rep Goal: 6000
[ AnimePedia.com | AnimeGalleries.Net | AnimeLyrics.com| AnimeWallpapers.com ]
it's just that Americans don't know what a good pizza is .... Italy FTW
My favorite is Papa John's pepperoni pizza.
As for pizza I don't like.....whatever original pizza the Japanese make.....
Check out my anime reviews at: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/users/hajimenojmo[/URL] and http://blog.honeyfeed.fm/
Joke aside ... how many of you eat your pizza with fork and knife? Like a normal meal.
Hmmm... Been a while
Don't buy the fried chicken though. Just the pizzas. Does America do 'square' pizzas? Because for the takeaways over here it's kinda normal. You get more pizza because of it o_O
: The Game. You just lost it. :

I love Jalapeno and Pineapple with Mozzarella cheese and lots of crust yummy yummy
I don't prefer any; I order one at random every time we dine out, which occurs rarely, even if we're in Italy.
I like basically all pizza, as long as it doesn't have olive. I also don't like spicy foods, so i would'nt lik eit if my pizza is spicy.
Plain is my fave. Sausage is my least fave.
~♡Ѻ[email protected]♡~
I'll eat just about any type, veggie, meatlovers, Hawaiian, I just love pizza. My favorite would just be a 'supreme' I guess with all the normal toppings.
My most favorite is anything I make myself from scratch of course! Rolling dough is fun, and cooking it over a fire is so much better, even if its just the propane grill (I don't have thousands to spend on a wood fired brick pizza oven... yet). Its been a while since I made it but my last attempts were 1/2 bread flour 1/2 whole grain wheat flour with some local raw honey. I make all my own sauces too, got about 4 types in the freezer (tried freezing the last couple years instead of canning). I try to make it with all my own stuff from the garden - the sauce is from my own San Marzanos, green peppers, onions, bannana peppers, etc all from the garden. And some spicy italian sausage from my own venison. Its awesome on the grill, but in the winter I also cook them in the oven in single serve size cast iron skillets. And gotta have a good beer with it!

I eat supreme pizza from Pizza hut. my doctor says I have a high metabolism and I can eat about half of the medium size pizza.
I can only post one day a week. ...Phooey.
Well I haven't eaten, nor currently eaten any type of meat; so I adore only vegetarian pizzas (for now).
My favorite would be 3 cheese (Swiss, mozzarella & crumbled feta) + fresh spinach + fried mushrooms with a light sprinkling of garlic salt & homemade chutney for the dip.

I'm in a bad mood. Not just a little sort of rubbish day meh sort of mood but a big fuck off humdinger of a bad mood and I don't even really know why, well that's a bit of a lie I do know why but when I think about the reasons most of them are so petty and whiny that I want rip off my own head and play football with it. But then again this is my blog so I can be petty and whiny if I want to and if I want to moan I will. *Stamps Foot*.
After the perfect day yesterday Lucy woke up in a vile mood and came down screamed at a few of us and told her sister that she would prefer her to be under a bus. This resulted in a trip back upstairs for Lucy and there she stayed for three hours sulking and refusing to apologise.
Lola was up in the night which was impacted by the fact that I didn't fall asleep until 2am which is because MRB has got new shitty hours which means he doesn't get in until 10.30 every night so to get any wind down time together (read time without the kids) we have got into this odd routine of staying awake until the early hours usually doing a lot of overtired hysterical giggling. I am not good without sleep, who is? But today my body has protested and slumped.
Surprise surprise we overlaid this morning and then Poppy decided her ear hurt so I gave her the benefit of the doubt and let her stay home. Big mistake my lovely never naughty 5 year old had pulled the wool over my eyes and lied. She has had the most boring day ever at home but has given me a monster headache because of her low level whinging about how bored she is.
The washing, the housework and the cooking.
The Son, I want my little adorable son back not this rage filled imposter who has come to live with us, he confuses me one minute he is cuddling me and the next he is raging at me. Everything I do is wrong, everything his dad does is wrong.
Lola, I love her to bits of course I do but if she had been my first I don't think I would have such a large family she is a whirlwind and now I don't know if I just had abnormally well behaved babies and toddlers before and she is normal or if she has actually been sent here to destroy me.
She will not stop breastfeeding I know it's lovely that I've managed to do it for so long and all the rest but am I allowed to say it is really really annoying me now? I wouldn't mind if she just wanted a quick feed in a morning or at bedtime but she looks at me like I am a walking talking milkbar if I sit down she will crawl onto me and yank my top down, hence why I always look like a badly dressed scarecrow because she has wrecked all of my tops.
My kindle, my replacement arrived this morning my second replacement and it's all well and good that Amazon are so good at sending new ones out but now I have lost all my samples and I am now terrified to use it in case it bloody breaks again.
My family, arghhh so since the row about two months ago I have not spoken to my sister at all and don't really want to if I'm perfectly honest. I have seen my mum once she came up and it was all very awkward I think my dad made her come although I can't be sure she doesn't ring anymore and we used to speak most days I miss my mum, I also miss my other youngest sister, this month made it a year since we spoke. We used to be best friends and her son is my Godson I haven't seen him since Christmas although I did see her younger son a couple of weeks ago which was lovely. But I miss my youngest sister so much and she hates me she really really does. I saw a photo the other day of my mum and both sisters they had been out over the weekend and my mum looked so proud to be stood in the middle of these two beautiful girls that it made me wonder if I she has given up on me, they do the right things in her eyes and I think to her I might be one big embarrassment.
And that is why I am feeling so ragey today so apologies for the mammoth ranty post but some things are better out than in.

Sending you a hug, it sounds as though you're as sad and upset as you are angry and i don't blame you reading that, especially the bit about your family.ReplyDelete
Someone on my husbands side decided a while ago that she hates me and that i'm not worthy of being spoken too and thats' bad enough, she's not even my actually family though so can't imagine how it must make you feel when it's your own treating you like that.
I write/type my rants down when i feel things have all gone tits up pardon the expression, bit of cathartic writting always makes me feel a bit better :-)

The world of webapps is filled with apps designed to help you manage projects, collaborate with your team, and keep your business running smoothly. Each app seems to have only part of the functionality you'd need to keep your team connected though, so before you know it you'll end up using a dozen apps.

Siblings fighting can drive parents mad. However, as a psychologist explains, tackling it from a fresh angle can make a big difference.
"My two young sons are quite close in age, and are always fighting and arguing. Is there any way I can stop this behaviour - I'm scared one of them will get really hurt."
Clinical psychologist Linda Blair, author of Siblings: How To handle Sibling Rivalry To Create Strong And Loving Bonds (White Ladder Press, £12.99), says: "This is an interesting problem, because in truth I suspect this is an example of sibling cooperation, rather than sibling rivalry. The two of them, it seems, have learned how to work together to gain your attention.
"Start by thinking about your own behaviour. When the boys are settled and cooperative, do you breathe a sigh of relief and turn to something you want to do for yourself? Do you continue until you hear them arguing, then go to them in distress? If so, you are in effect rewarding the arguing and ignoring the behaviour you really want.
"Therefore, whenever they're cooperating, you need to give them some praise and attention. When they argue, on the other hand, separate them immediately, without scolding or showing you're upset. Tell them they can come back together as soon as they've thought of a way to get along (this may take some time at first).
"When they're calm and behaving well, praise them, and perhaps offer them both a privilege - going to a film at the weekend, for example - as a reward for being so nice to each other. This is a big ask, I know, because it means that for now, you may end up with less time to do the things you want to do.
"It may mean you have to rethink your usual habits and routines, to find time for yourself more often when the boys are at school or in bed. But this is a relatively short-term investment, and one that will pay excellent long-term dividends.
"Finally, think carefully about how you respond to other people, especially when you're feeling uncomfortable or bored. Do you 'tease' others? Teasing is close to insulting. It's a way of releasing aggression, and it can be very hurtful. Perhaps you need to react to other people in a kinder, more compassionate way, especially in front of your children."


text: Outdoor Outdoor marketplace J.K. Autry Browning's Million Facebook "Likes" — Who Are They? B rowning celebrated a major milestone this summer when the company's Facebook page hit one million "Likes." Since 2008, Browning's Facebook page has served as a rendezvous for shooting sports enthusiasts to talk "Browning" and stay up-todate on the company's latest products. Reaching the one-million milestone, while challenging, began with a simple strategy, says Travis Hall, Browning president and CEO. "Our whole company got behind our page, sharing it with friends and family. This provided the initial growth in 2008. Our strategy was and remains simple: to provide good service to our fans, and give them a place to gather and share and to get answers from us," Hall said. According to Browning, the first "Like" may have been "from the mother of our Facebook web guy." The rest, Browning says, represent the full scope of Browning enthusiasts: hunters, shooters, outdoorsmen and women, avid gun collectors, weekend plinkers — the spectrum covers the casual to the super avid, and a wide variety of demographics and backgrounds. Interestingly, almost 34 percent of the page's fans are women who are "extremely avid and knowledgeable" about shooting sports, according to the company's research. About half of Browning's "Likes" come from fans under 25 years of age. When Browning launched its Facebook page, the majority of fans hailed from the Salt Lake City and Ogden areas of Utah, near the company's headquarters in Morgan. But today Houston, Texas, boasts more fans than any other U.S. city, with nearly 4,000 fans. Other cities with large clusters of Browning fans include Jacksonville, Fla., and San Antonio, Texas. Atlanta, Ga., held honors as the location with the highest concentration of likes until 2011; now the city sits in fourth place. Browning also tracks language demographics on its Facebook page. While the vast majority of fans speak English as their first language, more than 13,000 fans speak Spanish as their primary language. Browning has connected with this diverse fan base in a variety of ways, perhaps most successfully through various contests. The company has used its trademark Buckmark logo in many of these contests, which always elicits brand pride and loyalty amongst the Facebook fans. "Browning has a running 'Show Us Your Buckmark' contest, where people submit photos of creative ways they have incorporated the logo into their lives," Hall said. "It is really amazing. Tens of thousands of Buckmark decals show up on truck windows, and thousands of fans have actually been tattooed with the Buckmark logo to show how they feel about the brand." Hall believes that while running contests is beneficial, the key to a successful Facebook page is treating their fans properly. "We respect our Facebook fans. We treat them as if they are part of the family. That's easy, because to us, they are," Hall said.

HSI 17 - Somewhere in Time
Jiromaru, getting a script done is a noteworthy achievement. But getting it done on time is another thing. (I wouldn't mind reading it, though. There's gotta be some interesting and sexy concepts in there.)
Authorship issues aside, it figures that the director and the movie were a scam. But, ultimately, things are still looking up. Enishi's become somewhat more self-confident, Kissuiso has a pool, and even Yuina was able to show the others that she still got some fun experiences out of it. They may have lost money, but they can get it back together. Minko's "really?" expression during the pool scene was great as well.
Nako episode next week - yay!

Not quite sure what to make of the slapping scene.
I mean, for starters, violence within a couple (or potential couple) doesn't strike me as a good idea.
On the other, it did reaffirm Enishi's feelings for her (because of his fetish for violent women?)
It does seem like she's got a thing for his pathetic side too. So, hm, good news?

My face during the pool scene, and most Enishi scenes, really. In the end, I'm sad to say this arc didn't improve my impression of Enishi one bit. We were right to feel something was off about this whole business, I didn't think it'd be a complete scam though. You'd think they would have researched that guy's background (like Satsuki did) before giving him all their money. I hope we'll see how they'll solve this crisis and that it won't be completely forgotten by next week.
In the meantime, I shall enjoy my Nakochi. The Nakochi episodes I've been longing for are finally here! Awwwwww yeah! I can't wait to see her interact with her silblings (which as it turns out aren't all boys unless one of them is incredibly girly).

But yeah, I'm not entirely sure about this episode either. If Satsuki suspected something wrong then I don't see why she didn't voice her concerns with Enishi before it happened. Frankly, her phoning him after the whole scam was brought to light makes it a bit of a piss-take to be honest.
And then there was that whole slapping and swimming scene. At first I thought Enishi would man up a bit after talking to Satsuki but he just went back to being completely pathetic.

The Enishi/Takako antics were amusing to me in and of themselves, but it was Minko and Tomoe's facial expressions while watching them that really made me crack up. Actually, this episode seemed to really make a point of having Tomoe make "not again" expressions whenever Enishi was either around or being discussed. Makes me wonder if Okada predicted people like me would predict an Enishi/Tomoe end and is therefore trolling, as the episode itself seems to clearly favour Enishi/Takako.
Ohana and Yuina holding a casual discussion while covered in stage blood was great too, though I worry about their clothes.

I have to be honest, I didn't like this episode much.
What's the point of trying to make Enishi and Takako more likable in Episode 16, if you're just going to totally tear them back down and make them look like hopelessly inept losers in Episode 17?
Are we supposed to feel sorry for them? Are we supposed to laugh at their patheticness?
For me, it's like Jiromaru's suicide attempt in Episode 3 all over again, where I don't know if we're meant to pity or laugh at the down-and-out adult character(s), and I'm not really feeling either because of that split mood.
I also have to be frank - plot-wise, Hanasaku has been spinning its wheels since the end of the superb Satsuki/Ko arc.
The visuals are very nice. Some individual scenes are great (this episode started on a great note, at least, with that movie scene). Some entire episodes are pretty enjoyable. But I feel like this anime is lacking good overall direction, and it's not really doing much of anything to flesh out its world, or make its supporting cast any more likable. Minko has improved considerably since the first few episodes, but other than that...
Man, I have to be honest. I'd sooooooo take a True Tears-style Ko/Ohana/Tooru love triangle over this. I really would.

Personally, I'm thinking that the succession itself is going to be the core plot of the final arc. And I can't help but notice that the current frontrunner just lost the inn a lot of money when finances already weren't too hot (judging by what we've learned previously). The episode also seems to hint he very well may hook up with a woman whose advice has been disastrous for him, despite the presence of potentially much more sensible candidate (maybe Tomoe's "How many times are you going to go through this?" looks are meant to emphasize this rather than just to troll shippers?).
From what I've seen, most episodes and mini-arcs in this series only partially conclude the plot threads they introduced. I don't think that's an accident.

Glad this arc is over. It looked like Enishi grew up a little, and Takako was a little more tolerable, since it actually looked like she cared, but generally, I don't care about these two chars.

Have some salt
This was basically my reaction to the episode; I was already hoping it was over by the 12 minute mark.
I mean, centering an episode on 2 of the worst characters of the anime certainly isn't going to help. Do we really need reinforcement that this anime obviously views men in a terrible light. So Einshi has a complex about her sister being better and stuff, it didn't work in Ore no Imouto, and it's not gonna work here with so little build up.
So apparently he's an M too. Ok... do we get at least a lesson of the weak. Oh no, he doesn't seem to learn anything, he doesn't even think about "Hey maybe I shouldn't have done that", he just thinks he didn't do anything wrong and they're hilariously hanging above the pool. Meanwhile grandma learns that if you're gonna put faith in your loved ones, you're obviously dead wrong. What?
Now there might have been good things about the episode, such as those shots of Yuina's ass and that very last scene at the end, but good anime that does not make. Especially when the ass is connected to someone I don't care about. It's definitely below par for a Hana Saku episode, and I award it a 1/10, for being the worst episode this anime has produced. (Note my ratings are relative to the series, worst hana saku episode does not mean worst episode evar) From an objective point of view, it should probably be a 5-6, but these ratings reflect enjoyment. Episode 3 was stupid but at least it wasn't insulting. It's also a waste of precious time of which this anime has no use for; so at this point the standards should be raised. Did I laugh? Yes, for being bad.
It's pretty evident that PA works has absolutely no idea on how to pace an anime since True Tears and the misandry in this is just not funny anymore.

Have you witnessed the crisis in Ukraine, particularly in Crimea? Share your experiences, but please stay safe.
(CNN) -- The mood in Ukraine grew even more tense Monday as additional Russian troops poured into the Crimea region. Russia again defended its actions, saying it's protecting Russian citizens in a country that was on the brink of civil war. Meanwhile, world leaders opposed to Moscow's incursion plotted what to do next in the Ukraine crisis. What sanctions will there be? What kind of aid will Ukraine receive? Will there be fighting between Russian and Ukrainian troops?
In Crimea: Russia consolidated its hold on the peninsula. Russian troops arrived at a ferry crossing in Kerch, across a narrow sea channel where Ukrainian border guards reported seeing armored vehicles massing. The atmosphere remained calm, CNN's Ben Wedeman reported, with the troops milling about and clearly not on high alert. CNN's Diana Magnay calls it a 'low-key' invasion.
"From Russia" one gunman said when @dimagnayCNN asked where he was from #cnn #crimea pic.twitter.com/bUwHA9QtWJ— Victoria EastwoodCNN (@Vic_EastwoodCNN) March 1, 2014
In Kiev: Tension pervaded the capital city Monday as residents awaited Russia's next move. Ukraine's political leaders appealed to world powers to help stop Russia and vowed to stand up to any further Russian moves. "Nobody will give Crimea away," interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said. "There are no grounds for the use of force against civilians and Ukrainians, and for the entry of the Russian military contingent."
In Russia: Moscow denied a report in Russian state media claiming it had issued an ultimatum to Ukrainian forces to clear out of Crimea by Tuesday morning or face a "military storm." Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov brushed aside claims that Russia's troop movements were an act of aggression. "I repeat: This is a matter of defending our citizens and our compatriots, of defending the most important human right -- the right to life," he said.
In diplomacy: British Foreign Minister William Hague visited Kiev and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was heading there later to stand shoulder to shoulder with the country's shaky new government. In an interview with the BBC, Hague promised that Russia's decision to send troops to Crimea would bring "significant costs." The United Nations Security Council and European foreign ministers met Monday in an emergency session to discuss Ukraine. Senior U.S. officials tell CNN that the White House is quickly working on sanctions that would take the form of an executive order from President Barack Obama.

In the markets: Stocks fell across the world as investors chewed on the potential impacts of a ramped-up conflict in Ukraine. Russian stock indexes dipped as much as 13%. European stock markets were off sharply, as well -- as much as 3%. In the United States, the benchmark Dow Jones index dropped than 200 points.

How we got here: Last year, the former Ukrainian President's decision to scrap a European trade deal and turn toward Russia for aid inflamed anger in Ukraine's pro-European west and protesters took to the streets. Last month, those protests turned violent. A peace deal brokered by European foreign ministers evaporated into chaos as the President fled the capital, eventually turning up in Russia. Meanwhile, Moscow began warning of threats to ethnic Russians and pro-Russian Ukrainians, many of whom live in eastern Ukraine and in Crimea, where Russia has a major military base.
On Thursday, pro-Russian gunmen seized several government buildings in the Crimean capital of Simferopol. On Friday, mysterious troops appeared outside airports in Crimea. On Saturday, the Russian parliament gave President Vladimir Putin authority to send troops to Ukraine. Russian forces began flooding the peninsula.

OTTAWA — Canada's elections watchdog called the possibility of voter suppression during the last election "outrageous,'' revealing Thursday that investigators are examining 800 complaints of misleading telephone calls from right across the country.
Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand emphasized how seriously his office was taking the complaints as he testified before a House of Commons committee.
"I think it's absolutely outrageous — whether it was organized, or bigger, or whatever, the fact that electors at least that we know of in Guelph, were misdirected by calls falsely made on behalf of Elections Canada is absolutely outrageous, should not be tolerated,'' Mayrand told MPs in a packed committee room.
"It's totally unacceptable in a modern democracy.''
Mayrand was unable to provide specific details on the investigations out of concern for fairness and privacy, but he added a few new pieces of information:
— 800 complaints being examined by the commissioner of Canada elections come from 10 provinces and one territory;
— The complaints cover 200 ridings; and,
— The commissioner opened 250 files, and several complaints can be lumped together in a single file.
The Conservatives had initially approached the robocall controversy by acknowledging there were serious allegations in a single riding in Guelph, Ont., where voters received misleading calls from an individual known only as Pierre Poutine.
Since then, many Canadians have come forward in the media, describing how they were given erroneous or non-existent polling station information before the vote on May 2.
At the committee, the Conservatives focused on the accuracy of the voters list at election time and the fact that up to 14 per cent of the addresses on the list might be erroneous on voting day.
Political parties match up their own databases, which include phone numbers, with the voters list from Elections Canada, which only contains names and addresses. Candidates and their teams often call their supporters on election day to encourage them to vote.
"What really strikes me is that if there's really an alligator under the bed, I wonder if it isn't simply a widespread problem with trying to figure out where people actually live in order to contact them,'' said Conservative MP Scott Reid.
But Mayrand pointed out that inadvertently misdirecting a voter to the wrong polling station because of a database error does not explain why voters were receiving calls from individuals purporting to be from Elections Canada.
Elections Canada does not call voters to tell them their polling station has changed. He also underlined that the parties have been asked not to inform voters of polling station changes, but to leave that to Elections Canada.
Mayrand bristled when Dean Del Mastro, the parliamentary secretary to the prime minister, asked about allegations that Elections Canada has been leaking information to the media about the robocall investigations.
"Another case of vague allegation here. No, but seriously, seriously, again, there's no source leaking from Elections Canada if that's the allegation, I can attest to that,'' Mayrand said.
"I think some should be checking their sources.''
Conservative MP Laurie Hawn referred to the robocall affair and the media attention around it as a "circus,'' focusing in on the fact so many of the complaints were lodged well after the election.
"That's my biggest personal concern in all of this, that this circus, and it's a circus ... has served to do nothing but unfortunately degrade the trust of Canadians in the system,'' Hawn said.
When asked by reporters whether the robocall affair had been overblown, Mayrand responded directly.
"I think it's a serious matter, and I'm glad to see that it concerns Canadians, honestly. It's essential to the way we govern ourselves,'' Mayrand said.
"It touches on the fundamentals of our democracy ... how we elect our representatives. I can't see anything more serious than that in our democratic institutions.''
NDP MP David Christopherson said Mayrand's testimony proved that the robocall issue isn't confined to a single riding.
"The suggestion by the government that somehow this is a circus created by the opposition is quite frankly insulting, it's insulting to all the Canadians who cherish our electoral system and want our integrity of it preserved,'' Christopherson told reporters.
The committee approved a motion to hear from Mayrand again before the summer parliamentary break.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Security Council members are considering sanctions on South Sudan's warring parties, envoys said on Wednesday, after U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous demanded "serious consequences" be imposed to force an end to the violence.
Ladsous and U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for human rights Ivan Simonovic briefed the 15-member council on a recent escalation in attacks on civilians, including an ethnic massacre in the oil town of Bentiu and the killing of dozens of people who had sought refuge inside a U.N. peacekeeping base in Bor.
"Unless there are serious consequences for the parties to cease the violence and engage in meaningful talks ... the toll on innocent civilians will continue to rise," Ladsous told reporters after the closed-door council meeting.
"The United Nations is doing everything it can to protect the civilians that are fleeing the violence, the war, but let us never forget that the primary responsibility for protection of civilians is with the government," he said.
Nigerian U.N. Ambassador Joy Ogwu, president of the council for April, said there was a lot of support among council members for pursuing sanctions on South Sudan.
"I think we are ready to go down the road of sanctions," French U.N. Ambassador Gerard Araud told reporters.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, posted on Twitter after the briefing: "For the sake of the people of South Sudan, international community must sanction political spoilers and those who target civilians."
The United States and the European Union have already threatened South Sudan with sanctions. President Barack Obama earlier this month authorized possible targeted sanctions against those committing human rights abuses in South Sudan or undermining democracy and obstructing the peace process.
More than 1 million people have fled their homes since fighting erupted in the world's youngest country in December between troops backing President Salva Kiir and soldiers loyal to his sacked deputy, Riek Machar.
The fighting has exacerbated ethnic tensions between Kiir's Dinka people and Machar's Nuer. Negotiations between the Kiir government and rebels loyal to Machar have failed to advance since the January 23 signing of a ceasefire which never took hold.
The United Nations accused the rebels of hunting down men, women and children last week in a hospital, church and mosque in the capital of the oil-producing Unity state and then killing them based on ethnicity and nationality.
After the rebels seized Bentiu, Dinka residents of Bor town in Jonglei state attacked a U.N. base on Thursday where about 5,000 people, mostly Nuer, were sheltering.
They pretended to be peaceful protesters delivering a petition to the United Nations before opening fire on the base, killing some 58 people and wounding 98, including two Indian peacekeepers, the United Nations said.
Thousands of people have been killed and tens of thousands have sought refuge at U.N. bases around South Sudan after the violence spread across the country.
The Security Council is due to renew the mandate of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in South Sudan, known as UNMISS, in July. In December, the council approved a plan to almost double the number of peacekeepers to 12,500 troops as the violence worsened but so far only half those 5,500 reinforcements have arrived.
"We are refining the mandate of UNMISS so we have also to face the fact that maybe we can't cooperate with this government anymore because atrocities are committed by both sides," Araud said. "I do think that we have to have some soul searching about what should the U.N. do in South Sudan."

The towering Oracle catamaran designed to "fly on water" in its defense of the America's Cup drifted out to sea Tuesday after a spectacular flip into San Francisco Bay during a training run.
Onlookers watched in amazement as the $8 million AC72 racing craft dug its bow into the water, heaved and slammed sideways into the bay shortly after 3 p.m. just off the shoreline near the St. Francis Yacht Club.
The boat quickly drifted to the Marin County side of the bay, prompting crews to try to tow it back to San Francisco. But a mean current caught it and propelled it under the Golden Gate Bridge and into the Pacific Ocean.
"It was amazing – we watched it tip right over, and it looked like the top of the wing came right off," said Ethan Pawson, a UC Berkeley junior who was at the yacht club for a campus regatta ceremony. "Then the big ebb tide just took it right out under the bridge, and it was obvious there was nothing they could do."
U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Joshua Dykman said no one was hurt in the incident and that the 11-member crew did not require outside rescue assistance.
Strongest tide of year
The Oracle team, headquartered at Pier 80 south of the Bay Bridge, dispatched nine safety boats to try to right the craft or tow it back. But the current, driven by the strongest tide of the year, was too much, and the helpless Oracle crews could only accompany the vessel as it was swept 4 miles west of the Golden Gate.
Tom Slingsby, the tactician of Oracle Team USA 17 – the 72-foot racing yacht – said the flip occurred in stiff winds of about 24 knots as he and the rest of the crew were "pushing the limits of the boat." Tuesday marked the eighth time the crew had taken the craft onto the water since its August launch.
"It was pretty scary, I guess," the matter-of-fact Australian, who won a gold medal in sailing at the London Olympics, said at Pier 80 after being brought back from the wreckage by boat. "We've been pushing the boat harder every day, and I guess we found our limit today."
Slingsby said the wing – the long, mast-like apparatus at the center that looks like the wing of an airplane and catches the wind – was destroyed.
"We didn't really know what to expect with the new boat," he said. "When the nose went into the water, most of us hung on and then jumped off. Everyone has a few bumps and bruises, but nothing serious."
Oracle team spokeswoman Lisa Ramsperger said crews would attempt to tow the boat to Pier 80 for repairs. That task was expected to last well into the night and possibly into Wednesday.
Ramsperger said she could not estimate how long repairs will take or the cost.
On the AC72's first voyage, the centerboard broke off and the boat was idled two weeks for repairs.
The boat was skippered by Jimmy Spithill, the Australian who brought the America's Cup to San Francisco by leading BMW Oracle Racing over Alinghi of Switzerland in 2010 in Valencia, Spain.
Racing fans on the shore, who were excited to watch the huge catamaran make a rare appearance, were left stunned after it crashed head over heels. The boat, which can travel twice the wind speed and can top 50 knots, has a mast height of 131 feet.
During the crash, pieces of the enormous wing and rigging snapped off. When the craft drifted beyond the mouth of the Golden Gate around 5 p.m., it was still on its side, but then as the mast broke off, the boat turned upside down.
Good practice for crew
Tom Lyons, a 50-year-old boat racer visiting from Reno, also saw the big splash and said the capsizing, which is not uncommon for racing teams, was unfortunate – but might actually wind up being good practice for the crew.
"This is exactly what they need to get ready for the race," he said.
Slingsby somewhat echoed that sentiment, saying with a grin that he hopes the competition notices how hard the crew pushed its limits. "It might make them wary," he said.
"My coaches always say you learn a lot more from your losses than you do from your victories, and I think we learned some things today."
Stephen Barclay, the CEO of the America's Cup Event Authority, said the only bright side he could see in the accident was that it happened long in advance of the actual Cup races, which are still about a year away. But even that is small comfort, he said.
"The issue for Oracle now is that their boat will be out of action for some time while they do repairs," he said. And that, he said, will adversely affect their training and their assessment of the craft.
Barclay noted that Oracle is preparing a second AC72 boat, but it won't be ready until February.
On the Marin Headlands, dozens of onlookers gathered with binoculars to watch the boat continue out to sea while Oracle's support boats vainly attempted to right it or pull it back under the bridge.
As night fell, the support boats were still trying to figure out the best way to tie onto the boat and haul it back toward land.
Current in control
Chris Raney, a sailor who said he was friends with Oracle crew member John Kostecki, said a boat crash in the bay several years ago humbled him.
"When everything is working OK, you feel invulnerable," Raney said. "Then all of the sudden the mast breaks and you realize you're just on this little stick of fiberglass and the current is going to take you wherever it wants to."
It was the second time an Oracle catamaran pitch-poled on the bay in two weeks. A smaller, 45-foot boat flipped during the America's Cup World Series on Oct. 6, but finished second in the next race and beat Emirates Team New Zealand in the match racing final.
Shortly before Tuesday's mishap, fellow sailors and crew members had posted photos of the boat on Twitter and Instagram with the Golden Gate Bridge as a backdrop. The author of one Tweet noted, "Super windy today – blowing dogs off chains."

EVITA Fails to Recoup Investment on Broadway
Evita concluded its Broadway run on Saturday night, January 26, and according to Bloomberg.com the show failed to recoup its initial investment. The production, which cost $9.6 million would have had to run for 63 weeks to break even- instead it closed after 46 weeks.
Click here to read the full article.
Directed by Tony and Olivier Award winner Michael Grandage and choreographed by Tony Award winner Rob Ashford, Evita began previews March 12 and opened on April 5, 2012 at The Marquis Theatre (1535 Broadway).
Eva Perón used her beauty and charisma to rise meteorically from the slums of Argentina to the presidential mansion as First Lady. She won international acclaim and adoration from her own people as a champion of the poor, while glamour, power and greed made her one of the world's first major political celebrities. Evita tells Eva's passionate and tragic story through Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's most dazzling and beloved score, including "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," "Buenos Aires," "Another Suitcase in Another Hall" and "High Flying Adored," together with "You Must Love Me," the Oscar-winning hit from the film Evita.
After researching the life of Eva Perón for many years, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber released Evita in 1976 as a concept album with Julie Covington as Evita and it became a world-wide hit. Soon after, the production debuted on stage in London's West End starring Elaine Paige and directed by Hal Prince. The production transferred to Broadway and opened in 1979 starring Patti LuPone, who went on to win one of the seven 1980 Tony Awards the show earned. A major 1996 film of the musical was made starring Madonna as Evita and Antonio Banderas as Che. Michael Grandage's production of Evita, which opened in 2006, took London by storm and garnered critical acclaim for the show and its leading lady, Elena Roger.

My eyes fluttered open and I jerked up in bed. I gave a sigh of relief. It was only a dream, but it had seemed so real...I shook my head and looked at the clock. I moaned. It was three in the morning and my alarm was about to go off in a few hours. I needed to get as much sleep as I possibly could; tomorrow was going to be another grinding day, but I was almost too afraid to sleep. I laid back down and thought about what I'd dreamed. I had had nightmares before, but somehow, this one seemed different. Like it related to my life in some weird way. I remembered God using dreams in the Bible to tell people things, but what did that have to do with mine? Surely he didn't use dreams anymore-that was a thing of the past. I'd been feeling so estranged from God lately anyways. I restlessly slept until 6:00 finally rolled around. Groggily, I got up and showered. I was getting breakfast and about to head out the door for work when I realized I didn't have work to go to anymore. I went back to my room and sat on the bed staring off into space. I knew I needed to go visit Mom and Dad in the hospital, but I was way too depressed. My job was everything. And my family didn't even know about my personal problems, they had too much to deal with as it was without me complaining to them. Maybe I could just overdose on medication or drive off the road. Huh, I didn't even have a working car to do that with. I had had to take the cab yesterday to get to the hospital. My mind began to swirl. I hated my life and everyone in it. I wanted things to go my way for once! Why couldn't Mom and Dad just stay healthy? Why did the company have to lay me off? Why did the stupid car have to break down when everything else was already breaking down? And why did my sister have to be so selfish?? Why, why, why??? Where was God when I needed Him most?! I banged my fists on the bed, and started screaming and crying. I finally fell asleep from pure exhaustion. I was too worn out and tired to even attempt to kill myself.
I was falling. Everything around me was disappearing. I grabbed a precipice and hung with all of my might. I knew I wasn't going to be able to hold on forever, I needed help. But how? Where? I could see no one nor any kind of object. Just a pit of blackness with screaming coming from it and this horrible, evil laughter. And I could see the reflection of flames against the high walls. I felt completely alone and utterly helpless. There was only One Person I knew that could save me from this, but how would I know that He would answer? How could I know that He was really there? I felt totally abandoned by Him, but I had no choice. I either call His name or fall into this pit. My hands started slipping. I cried out, "God! God, please help me! I can't do this anymore!" A hand slips, and I hang my head ready to let go. Then, like a flash of lightening, two bright lights rush towards me and carry me away. The abyss slowly closes, and in its place, is the most beautiful land I've ever seen. I gaze in dumb wonder. The two beings that carried me out of the abyss are gone. I'm alone again, but it's different this time. Not far from me is a bubbling brook and a large tree with beautiful fruit on it. I walk towards the brook and see my reflection. I gasp in horror. I'm so filthy and grotesque. How did I get this way?? I sit down and lean against the tree as tears stream down my face. It was my own doing that made me so dirty. I was the one who abandoned Him. He never did; He was there every moment, waiting patiently for me. I was the one who fed my flesh and gave in to my fleshly desires. I had become so selfish and ugly. This filthiness had eaten at me until I could barely recognize myself. "Oh God, please, please forgive me! Forgive me for this thing that I've done! I have hurt not only myself, those around me. But what pierces my heart most is that I've hurt You! God, have mercy upon me!" I was weeping uncontrollably, and then He came. I could feel His presence, and I looked up. He held out His arms and I got up and ran as fast as I could go. Bursting into His arms full of love and forgiveness, we both wept. He took my hand and led me near the stream again. And, again, I looked at my reflection. But this time, it wasn't my reflection, it was His! I yelled for joy. He saw me as clean and pure as He was! I was washed with His love and forgiveness, and there was no way I was going to walk away from that again.
I woke up. I must have been asleep forever! The sun's rays had found their way into my room. The early morning birds were singing their melodious songs, and I just lay there soaking it all in. I thought about my dream and the feelings I had had last night. Maybe God did still use dreams nowadays. Similar to my dream, I had been ignoring God. I couldn't remember the last time I'd prayed or read my Bible. If I had, it was for my own selfish reasons. I was glad that life wasn't as dramatic as my dream. But then again, with everything I was going through, it sure felt like a mini-hell. Dreams sure were strange. I looked at the dusty Bible on my nightstand. I grabbed and stared at it. And then I bowed my head and cried. As I prayed that morning to the Lord, an indescribable peace covered my soul. I realized I had lost something. Myself. I wasn't mine, but God's. All these circumstances I'd been going through weren't mine, but God's. The job I had lost wasn't my job, but a job that God had given me for a little while. The car that broke wasn't mine, but God's car to do with what He wanted. My family was God's family, and He had given them to me as precious gifts. But in the process of losing myself, I had gained something so much more. The joy and peace of the living God. I could trust Him with my life and everything and everyone in my life, because of the sacrifice He made for me. The words I read that day from the Word jumped out at me:
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ~Philippians 1:20-21
I guess that dream had more relevance on my life than I thought it did. I shook my head and smiled. The phone rang. Probably my sister wondering why I haven't made a visit to the hospital. I took a deep breath. "Lord, this day is Yours. I'm ready to start each new day with You as my guide." I got up to go find the phone...

Rebuilding heavy equipment makes good economic sense, particularly for the hydraulic components on construction and earth moving machinery. This is why Caterpillar dealer Whayne Supply was able to support the addition of a machine shop as part of its existing hydraulics shop. The shop relies heavily on a Sunnen HTA tube hone, which allows Whayne to resurface scratched and rusted cylinder barrels, saving customers 80% or more over the cost of a new barrel. Brought in as part of a beta test of Sunnen's new all-electric machine design in 2009, the hone has been used to process more than 1,000 barrels. Bringing this previously outsourced machining work in-house has helped the company add revenue and staff, while also improving control of delivery schedules and costs for customers.
Whayne is the worldwide leader in Cat-certified rebuilds of complete machines, having produced more than 400 rebuilds on 33 different machine models since 1985. Whayne has 14 locations and approximately 1300 employees, with 200 located in Corbin.
"Simple economics dictate that customers are going to be rebuilding machines until the economy – and the coal industry in our region – both strengthen significantly," said Mike Harbin, Manager of Whayne's Power Rebuild Center. "We have customers who are tearing down machines in the field and completely rebuilding them. The machine shop and the honing system have helped us stay on top of this trend. We have added five people in our shop alone to handle the increased volume."
Whayne has rebuild centers in Louisville and Corbin. All exchange/re-sell goods are processed in these shops. The hydraulics shop in Corbin has eight cylinder technicians, three full-time machinists, three pump experts, plus a foreman and service coordinator. The Corbin operation added a machine shop to its hydraulics shop in 2009 that included two vertical mills, two lathes, drill press, rotary surface grinder, welders, and saws. The shop stocks various sizes of chrome-plated bar and DOM tubing, some of it pre-cut for standard Cat sizes. The shop has five cylinder service bays, one for suspension cylinders, one for lift cylinders on small loaders and three for high-force cylinders.
"We can replace the barrel, rod, rod eyes, head/seal areas, hydraulic lines and connections, or custom fabricate new cylinders to spec," said Michael Carter, Service Coordinator. There are four hydraulic cylinders on the average Cat machine, so the shop stays busy. "During the summer, we may have a hundred or more cylinders outside our shop waiting to be rebuilt, because our indoor storage is full," Carter added.
Honing means saving and more profit
The shop's old hone consisted of a drill motor on a sliding carriage, and lacked the power, capacity and rigidity needed for doing serious work. "It could produce a surface finish, but not remove metal,"says Carter. Whayne agreed to beta test Sunnen's new all-electric HTA cylinder hone, and later purchased the machine with a 12-ft (4 m) part capacity.
The HTA tube honing system handles parts weighing up to 8000 lb. (3629 kg) with ID ranges from 2.5 to 21 in. (63.5 to 533 mm). It is designed for resurfacing and repair work where light-duty stock removal up to 0.030 in. (0.76 mm) is required. Standard models are sized for 6-ft (2 m) and 12-ft (4 m) part lengths. Custom lengths are available.
The HTA is equipped with a Siemens drive and PLC-control with touch-screen HMI for setting machine parameters such as stroke reversal point, spindle/stroking speed and crosshatch angle calculation. The control features a load meter to determine areas of bore tightness, and provides the ability to dwell the tool in multiple areas to correct part geometry. A touch screen-controlled hone provides a safer working environment and reduces operator fatigue. It also provides better quality parts by producing a controlled crosshatch pattern, which allows the honed surface to retain oil or grease, ensuring proper lubrication and ring seal of pistons in cylinders.
"We were not sure about downtime for a new machine, but it has proven extremely reliable and we've used it to hone cylinders from 2.5 to 17 in. (63.5 to 432 mm) diameter, and 6 in. (152 mm) length to over 21 ft (6.4 m)," Carter added. "We simply created a table with an adjustable-height V-block to support parts that overhang the machine. We have used up to a 21-foot drive-shaft length on the machine, and we can hone from both ends of the part if need be. Our cycle time for most barrels is about 30 minutes, which includes setup, honing and washing the part."
Whayne uses both roughing and finishing abrasives, removing scratches and rust, and imparting a specific crosshatch surface finish on the barrel bore. "We can increase the cylinder bore diameter up to 0.254 mm (0.010 in.) in relatively short time, removing rust and all but the worst scratches, and remain within Cat machine specifications," Carter said. "Our old hone simply could not do this. The HTA hone is easy to setup also. The control calculates the correct cross hatch angle. It's been a very reliable system, too, with no appreciable downtime.
"We scrapped a lot of hydraulic barrels or sent them out to other shops prior to acquiring this machine," Carter added. "Now we can salvage a cylinder with honing, and the cost and time for the customer is a fraction of replacement. In the current economy, customers appreciate this."
