First, from Fortune Magazine: It's time to buy a house again.
I'd love for this to be correct. One thing though: we never had a lot of new homes here in the center metro area of L.A., unless you count condos. And a lot of those new condos still haven't sold.
Next, from Rob Hahn via AOL, a rebuttal to the above article: Is it really time?
http://realestate.aol.com/blog/2011/03/29/its-a-great-time-to-buy-a-house-really/
Rob slices and dices the stats used in the Fortune Article and comes up with a different take.
Then, from yesterday's L.A. Times: Banks may be forced into agreeing to short sales.
http://www.latimes.com/business/realestate/la-fi-foreclosure-short-sales-20110330,0,732448.story
I read this with delight, until I got about half-way through the article. Then, it said that banks can still refuse the short sale if they don't like the sales price. So, what's the point?
And finally, from A. Lazo in today's L.A. Times: There really is a shadow inventory, and it's depressing prices.http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/money_co/2011/03/unlisted-shadow-supply-of-18-million-homes-looms-over-housing-market.html
I don't want to argue with the statistics experts -- Core Logic in this case -- but it bears repeating that no one set of statistics can be applied to hyper-local real estate markets.
What's your take on our market, dear reader?

But anyway, of course I scanned Manhattan real estate prices. (That's me, above. [Cameras can correct for red eyes. Why can't they correct for big butts too?]) It is possible to buy a studio in a decent neighborhood for $400k. The prices seemed to go to $700k for one bedrooms, and of course seven figures is common as well. Brooklyn seems to be about as expensive as Manhattan. Space is at a premium, so if you're contemplating a move, you'll need to get rid of a lot of your stuff. Needless to say, you won't need a car, but subway rides are $2.20 each way, so you won't save a lot of money by not driving.
Would I live there if I could afford it? Hmmm....

(Disclosure: my client made an offer on this property. So have about a dozen other buyers. Currently, no more offers are being accepted. No, we don't know yet if our offer prevailed.) This cutie is 11558 Cantlay in North Hollywood. It's a 3+2, 1545 sf. short sale for $249,000. It's as nice inside as it is outside -- yes, hipsters, the style IS a little suburban. But...it has a spacious galley kitchen with new Corian counter tops and lots of storage, all the windows are new, new paint inside and outside, decent bedrooms, well maintained, attached two-car garage, nice backyard and side yard, etc. etc.
All around, this is a very nice home. If you like planes. It's just north of the Bob Hope airport. I mean just about 1000 feet from the runway. A plane landed while we viewed the home and I could count its rivets.

The plan was for the three of us to have a drink and an appetizer. One finely-made cocktail turned into, uh, more, with beer chasers all around – there are over 20 beers on tap. And the appetizers turned into meals. The menu features several reasonably priced small plates, burgers and entrees. Since we ordered a lot, our final bill wasn’t particularly small. The food was good and I especially liked my friend’s fish and chips. My husband enjoyed his burger, too.
The North Hollywood renaissance continues…

Here's the notice that Ms. Harris sent me: HGTV’s hit new renovation show “Professional Grade” is back for a 3rd season. In the show, homeowners go toe to toe with the professionals for a chance of having their home renovation paid for by HGTV. Our last BIG winner from last season took home $40,000. Homeowners act as their own “GC’s” and when the renovation is done, our experts price out the job based on the quality. If their estimate is higher than what our homeowners spent, the homeowners pocket the cash difference.
If you are interested, or know somebody who is (I've already contacted two sets of clients), please call Ronica at 303.872.8708 or contact her by email at Rharris@highnoontv.com. For an application, click on: www.highnoonentertainment.com/casting_apply_new.php?application_id=3. Good luck! Please let me know if you are selected!

As noted here previously, the SEC amended Rule 506 to permit an issuer to engage in general solicitation or general advertising in offering and selling securities pursuant to Rule 506, provided that all purchasers of the securities are accredited investors and the issuer takes reasonable steps to verify that such purchasers are accredited investors. The amendment to Rule 506 also includes a non-exclusive list of methods that issuers may use to satisfy the verification requirement for purchasers who are natural persons. The amendment will become effective on September 23, 2013.

Burgh Castle is the site of one of several Roman shore forts constructed in England around the 3rd century CE, to hold cavalry as a defence against Saxon raids up the rivers of the east and south coasts of southern Britain. It is located on the summit of ground sloping steeply towards the estuary of the River Waveney, in the civil parish of Burgh Castle, in the county of Norfolk.

Rectangular Roman Shore fort
later Norman motte and bailey fort
Norfolk Archaeological Trust and
Roman fort: fair, surviving walls
on 3 sides to 4.6 m (15 ft) high
Norman fort: no remains
Flint and some brick/tile
This fort was possibly known as Gariannonum, although the single record that describes it as such may also mean the Roman site at Caister-on-Sea. Between the mid-7th and 9th centuries the site was possibly occupied by a monastic settlement, and in the 11th and 12th centuries a Norman motte and bailey castle existed there.[1]
In Roman times, possibly known as Gariannonum, name that appears in a single source; the Notitia Dignitatum, a Roman Army “order of battle” from about 400 CE. The identification was once thought secure, but is now thought doubtful by specialists.[1]
Burgh, is derived from the same Old English language word burh (whose dative singular and nominative/accusative plural form byrig sometimes underlies modern place-names, and which had dialectal variants including burg; it was also sometimes confused with beorh, beorg, 'mound, hill', on which see Hall 2001, 69-70). The Old English word was originally used for a fortified town or proto-castle, as in Burgh Castle, and was related to the verb beorgan (cf. Dutch and German bergen), meaning "to keep, save, make secure". In German Burg means castle or fortress, though so many towns grew up around castles that it almost came to mean city, and is incorporated into many placenames, such as Hamburg, Flensburg and Strasbourg.
The well-preserved southern walls
The fort is roughly rectangular, measuring (internally) approximately 205 m (673 ft) by 100 m (330 ft). The walls on the north, east, and much of the south side are largely intact, standing at a height of approximately 4.6 m (15 ft) and measuring up to 3 m (9.8 ft) thick at the base. They have a core of mortared flint rubble and an external and internal facing of prepared flint and red tile or brick in alternating bands. Against the outer face of the walls there are six solid bastions of pear-shaped plan spaced symmetrically, two on the south wall, one each at the north-east and south-east angles, one slipped from position on the north wall, and one below the south wall where it has fallen. The west wall has at some time in the distant past collapsed down the underlying hillside and into what was once an estuary but is now a marsh, and nothing of it is now visible. Breydon Water is all that is left of the estuary this fort once overlooked.[1]
Coin and pottery evidence on the site indicates that the occupation of the fort dates from the mid-3rd century CE, with Roman occupation continuing up to the early 5th century CE when the integration of Roman and Saxon traditions appear.[1]
Burgh Castle has been suggested as the site of ‘’Cnobheresburg’’, the unknown place (a castrum or fort) in East Anglia, where in about 630 the first Irish monastery in southern England was founded by Saint Fursey as part of the Hiberno-Scottish mission described by Bede. Historians find many arguments against this location, but are unable to agree on a better one.
The fort site was excavated by the archaeologist Charles Green between 1958 and 1961, and apparently revealed the remains of a timber monastic church, in the southwest corner of the fort, with an Christian cemetery just to the north of it, which contained some 144 interments as well as pits containing re-interred bones. A cluster of oval huts towards the north-east angle of the fort may be interpreted as cells or workshops. Coins and 'Ipswich' ware carry the occupation well into the 8th and possibly 9th century. However a detailed report by Stephen Johnson of Norfolk Museums Service in 1983 (East Anglian Archaeology 20) concluded that there was no conclusive evidence for any monastic settlement in Burgh Castle itself.[1]
In the 11th and 12th centuries a motte was constructed in the south-west corner, using the Roman fort as a bailey. The motte was partly removed in around 1770, in 1839 it was completely levelled. The ditch was in-filled in the same year. Archaeological excavations identified a timber tower on the motte, with the bailey, of the castle located to the northeast of the motte.[1]
Re-use of materialsEdit
The fort lies close to the medieval church of Burgh Castle St Peter and St Paul, which incorporates Roman brick, presumably taken from the fort site, in its fabric.
In the 17th century, Sir Henry Spelman recorded a tradition that the fort had been occupied by Jews, and reported the name of a track leading away from it as "Jews' Way". (A surviving fragment of the route, in the adjacent parish of Bradwell, is still named "Jews Lane".) This is likely to reflect a popular sense of the site having been the home of an ancient but enigmatic people, and perhaps its use as a quarry for building materials.[2]
The site is located to the west of the village and civil parish of Burgh Castle, in the county of Norfolk. It is located on the eastern bank of the southernmost part of Breydon Water, formed at the mouths of the Rivers Ant, Bure, Yare, and Waveney. Today however it is separated from the estuary by mudflats. The Roman Shore Fort site of Caister-on-Sea lies a few miles to the northeast.
The site is owned by the Norfolk Archaeological Trust, with the walls in the care of English Heritage. The site is freely open to the public. A major access and interpretation scheme has been created by the Trust, with funding and collaboration from Natural England and English Heritage. Interpretation panels in the car park area and around the fort provide information for visitors. An all-weather path around the property is wheelchair friendly and allows disabled visitors to reach as far as the river.[3]
Burgh Castle is the Roman fort featured in the short story Interloper's Folly by S.A Carr.

G.W.A.R. - School's Out
I've never been a big fan of G.W.A.R. Actually, I've never really even listened to their music before, so I can't say whether I like them or not. They definitely have a unique look. I came across this video today of them covering Alice Cooper's 70's hit, School's Out. It seems that their record label made them record a cover song in an effort to get some radio airplay, so they covered this song on their latest album Beyond Hell, which was released in 2006. Enjoy!

The Black Crowes are back after almost seven years with a new album called Warpaint. The first single from the album is called Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution, and it's currently at #35 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts. I'm sure it's going to go a lot higher on that chart as well as the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Here they are performing the song on Leno a few nights ago. Enjoy!

Forsaken is the latest single released from Dream Theater's album, Systematic Chaos, which was released last year. From Wikipedia -- Lead singer John Petrucci outlines the song as being about a man named Leo, jailed by an inhumane society, as seeing an apparition of a futuristic android, Alice, in the night. Alice guides him on nightly journeys through the sky, and through time, as she harvests his blood to bring life to inanimate mannequins, who then reenact the darkest events in history (of the future).

For all of you who are fans of 80's heavy metal, you're gonna love Airbourne. Specifically, if you're a fan of AC/DC, then you'll probably like them because they sound a lot like them. Like AC/DC, they're also from Australia. Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast is their first charting single in the U.S. It's currently sitting at #16 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts. I wasn't familiar with them until I saw this video. I love this song, but then again, I'm definitely a sucker for bands that have that 80's rock sound. Enjoy!

Helloween are a speed metal band from Germany that have been around since the 80's. They just released a new CD in October of last year, and it is a really good CD. It's probably one of the best recent releases by an 80's metal band. This song, As Long As I Fall is a great song, but a pretty cheesy video. It doesn't matter though because the song is so good, it overshadows the bad video. Enjoy!

We Are Scientists are an American indie rock band formed in 2000. The story behind their name is interesting. The band had rented a U-Haul truck, and when they returned it, the man inspecting the van asked the three band members who all wear glasses if they were scientists. They told him that they were musicians, but they took the name We Are Scientists from the experience. After Hours is their first single from their album Brain Thrust Mastery, which is due to be released on CD today. Enjoy!

Amos Kincaid is the son of a dowser a person gifted in knowing how to find water deep in the ground. As a young person, Amos doesnt reveal his gift to others; hes not sure he wants the burden. But through his experiences growing up and crossing the Oregon Trail, Amos learns about lifes harsh realities, especially the pain in losing loved ones. As he cares for those around him, Amos comes to accept his dowsing fate.
Isabel’s mother died peacefully. At least that’s what Isabel likes to think, since no one in her family will talk about the truth. But in spite of their avoidance and in spite of their brave faces, the truth has a way of revealing itself at night, in her family’s behavior. Her father sleeps curled up on the floor right where Mama’s body was found. Olivia wets her bed and wakes repeatedly from nightmares, and Frank has started carving his anger into his bedroom wall. It’s up to Isabel to help her family get beyond the pain and loss - to be the keeper of the night. But who will help Isabel? <?p>

How does one react to a story as universal as is portrayed in this one -- the tragic loss of a loved one. So few, I dare say none, will walk away after reading this heart-rending story unmoved. For it did just that and more. I'm a Guamanian who understands Chamoru and so the fact that the writer has chosen to use a few Chamoru words and places has given her story an extra special meaning for me. More Less

Jailed Sanchez gets second bid for Catalan presidency after U.N. rights boost | Reuters
April 9, 2018 / 3:14 PM / in 18 days
MADRID (Reuters) - Catalonia’s parliament made a second attempt on Monday to put forward as the region’s new leader a pro-independence politician awaiting trial on charges of rebellion, after a U.N. rights group said he should be allowed to run for office.
The investiture that parliament’s speaker announced for Friday - but which Spain’s Supreme Court seems likely to block - would mark Catalonia’s fourth attempt to choose a president since a loose alliance of secessionist groups won an election there in December.
Parliament speaker Roger Torrent said on Monday that Sanchez - the former head of pro-independence civic group Catalan National Assembly - was being nominated for a second time, following the message from the United Nations Human Rights Committee in support of his political rights.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a structure of a display panel device that can satisfy functions easily and has good productivity.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 shows an appearance of a display device according to the present invention.
EXAMPLE 1 FIG. 1 shows an appearance of a display device according to the present invention. A display device 100 is a flat type display having a 42-inch diagonal screen 50. A dimension of the screen 50 is 0.92 meters in the horizontal direction and 0.52 meters in the vertical direction. A facing cover 101 that defines a plane size of the display device 100 has an opening that is larger than the screen 50, so that a front face of a display panel device 1 is exposed in part.
EXAMPLE 2 FIG. 10 shows a second example of a structure of the display device. A basic structure of the display device 200 is the same as the above-mentioned display device 100. In FIG. 10 and the following drawings, structural elements denoted by the same reference numerals as FIG. 3 are the same as the structural elements of the display device 100.
EXAMPLE 3 FIG. 12 shows a third example of a structure of the display device. A structure of the display device 300 is substantially the same as the above-mentioned display device 200. The display device 300 is characterized in that the inner rim of the front face of the facing cover 301 is close to a screen area, and sound absorbing members 351 and 352 are arranged between the facing cover 301 and the front sheet 6. The sound absorbing members 351 and 352 are glued on the facing cover 301 in advance, and the display panel device 5 is covered with the facing cover 301 so that the sound absorbing members 351 and 352 are pressed onto the front sheet 6. As the sound absorbing members 351 and 352 are flexible sponge, no excessive force is applied to the plasma display panel 2. As audible sound noises due to vibration of the plasma display panel 2 (called an abnormal sound) increases at a peripheral portion of the plasma display panel 2, the noises can be reduced substantially by arranging the sound absorbing members 351 and 352. Although the abnormal sound can be shielded by the filter plate in the conventional structure in which the filter plate is arranged in front of the plasma display panel, the sound can be reflected by the filter plate and propagate from the rear side to the front side. On the contrary, as the abnormal sound is absorbed substantially completely in the display device 300, quiet display environment can be obtained. Sounds generated by the plasma display panel 2 propagate along the rear portion 6B that is glued on the plasma display panel 2, so it is preferable to arrange the sound absorbing members 351 and 352 to overlap the rear portion 6B.
EXAMPLE 4 FIG. 13 shows a fourth example of a structure of the display device. A structure of the display device 400 is substantially the same as the above-mentioned display device 300. The display device 400 is characterized in that the conductive housing 402 includes a frame-like structure 402A that is a front portion thereof and a box-like structure 402B that is a rear portion thereof. The structure 402A is fixed to the chassis 105 via insulator spacers 403 and 404, and a rim portion of the front sheet 6 is fixed to the structure 402A via the pressure member 203. The structure 402B and the facing cover 301 are attached to the panel module in which the display panel device 5, the chassis 105 and the structure 402A are integrated. When attaching the structure 402B, connection members 405 and 406 are used for securing conductive connection between the structure 402A and the structure 402B.

I've never been altogether satisfied with the few novels by Ramsey Campbell that I've read. He tends to be subtle to the point of reticence, a quality which can work within the concentrated span of a short story, and often does, but which seems to lead to horror novels that shield themselves from the consequences of their own central conceits. I'm not a gore-hound, but I do like a build-up of weird atmosphere and if possible a truly bizarre irruption of the numinous into a horror story. That's probably why I like writers like Thomas Ligotti, Laird Barron and W.H. Pugmire, all of whom are masters of atmosphere, weirdness and outré imagery in their own diverse ways.
Campbell is sort of the flagbearer of modern British horror; he is also a devotee of Lovecraft, even a member of the extended Lovecraft Circle through his early correspondence with August Derleth, who published a 15-year-old Campbell's first essays at horror, written in a thoroughly Lovecraftian mode. As such, Campbell can be seen as heir to the two most significant strands of Anglophone horror - the tale of cosmic terror as epitomised by H.P. Lovecraft's work and the more inward-looking, supernaturalist horror of vintage practitioners from the British Isles, such as Algernon Blackwood or Arthur Machen.
And the novel at hand has elements of both; there is an early encounter with a spiritualist who provides important clues, and there are run-ins with the world of occult societies later on. But Campbell also draws on the cosmic forces Lovecraft invokes, as well as the many tutelary entities and nameless cults that gravitate to them. He does this in a manner that is profoundly more assured than his earlier Mythos fiction - he does not attempt to use any of the paraphernalia of Yog-Sothothery or tie his terrors in with Lovecraft's. But there is a broadening of scale towards the end of the novel that definitely owes something to the Lovecraftian vision.
With all the reservations I've expressed, I found this novel gripping precisely because Campbell made me care about the characters; but I was left with perhaps less of a feeling of having been brought face to face with a vision of true strangeness and threat than I would have wished. I would have been glad to learn a little more about the demented philosophy of the nameless, to spend a little more time in their founder's company, to have a little more of a glimpse of the darker power that the cult served, but Campbell only gives us access to just as much as is needed to keep the foreground narrative on track. Still, what there is, is effective and disturbing, so all in all mark this one up as a definite win for Campbell.
I do have one strong objection though; at one point, Campbell shows us a female character stripping down to her underwear; sure enough, she is marked for destruction. In a certain kind of storytelling, a woman's nakedness is always a precursor to her extinction. This is such a cliche of the worst kind of schlock that I'm a little taken aback Campbell didn't even realise what he was doing here.
I'd also like to highlight how well Campbell uses an urban setting to serve as a locus of horror, with the crowds, noise and pockets of urban blight found in a big city all contributing to create a nurturing environment for evil.
In 1999, a Spanish film entitled Los Sin Nombre was made as a partial adaptation of this novel; I'll be reviewing that in my next update.

That's me in the baby-blue The Beatles t-shirt.
We played for about an hour. The other bands were a young thrash act called Culminant, Gorified, the goregrind band, veteran doom-deathers Dying Embrace and Orator, a death/thrash band from Bangladesh.
Sing, oh muse, and the days when she does. When words typed across across a glowing screen start becoming people, places, events, when whispers in my head start start to sing and characters emerge from the mist with faces and histories and voices. When the heat is white and casts light across pages that line themselves up to be written. These days are a part of the reason why.
Horror is the darkness that shines through the cracks. It is a sacred form of awe. It lives in the lizard that lives within all of us.

This is probably not as big a deal as it felt like when I first heard of it, but this story got a mention here. I'm not sure how many horror stories were published last year, but, in short, this means mine was somewhere in the top 600 or so, although not really in the top 100 or 50 or 10.

A lot of this, I’m absolutely certain, has to do with how much and how well you’ve read. We learn through imitation, and if you have that nascent ability with language and storytelling (which I suspect is far more widespread than we might think), then you want to allow yourself the maximum number of examples to learn from. I know that writing workshops are very popular and certainly, they can be useful, but I’d suggest that it may be as, if not more, useful for a beginning writer to engage in a program of intensive reading, take a year or two and just soak yourself in the written word.
This is a part of what I was trying to articulate in a recent rambling, inchoate mass of words that was posted on this blog. A lot of what seems to have gone wrong with the IWE stuff (there, I've used the dreaded acronym of doom - happy, Sridala?) is not the anxiety of influence but the narrowness of it. A little talent, less immersion in what the great and not-so-great writers of the past and present have done, predictably under-cooked results.
A commenter noted that I used the term 'kitsch' in various versions all over my earlier wordsplurge. And it's an important part of my point too. The less you delve into the medium you want to be a part of , the less of a yardstick you have. Jeffrey Archer only seems great until you read John Buchan. The Harry Potter books only seem dazzlingly different and original until you've tried Earthsea, Books Of Magic and the odd Jane Yolen novel. That terrible Year Of The Tiger book I reviewed last year only seems like literature until you've read some Atwood or Nabokov. Kitsch has its place (I am told) but until you also have an understanding of genuine artistry and find a permanent place for it in our aspirations and affections, no amount of ironic or faux-naive posing will change the fact that you have no taste.

It's still a reduction from previous months. But not good enough.
My maternal grandfather passed away in 2008 after being in poor health for several years. In 2009, I lost my paternal grandmother. I remember that these two deaths had a deep impact on me, although in the first case it took time for that impact to show. Several months later, listening to something as over-exposed as The Byrds' cover of 'Turn Turn Turn' I surprised myself by bursting into tears at the words 'A time to be born/ a time to die/A time to plant, a time to reap/A time to kill, a time to heal/A time to laugh, a time to weep'. Qohelet certainly understood the weight of mortality. I was able to attend my grandmother's funeral, and I realised what a cathartic and healing experience a funeral is, for the living.
My step-father did not have a funeral. He wanted his organs to be donated to people who needed them and what was left to be given to a medical college, partly inspired by this case. My mother is also an advocate of organ donorship.
As for myself, I have to admit that I like the symbolism of a funeral ceremony. It doesn't matter so much about the body - although, I'm not as altruistic as some, I think I'd just like it to be quietly incinerated in an electric crematorium without much of a fuss - but little as it would mean to me at that point, I'd like some sort of secular funeral service to be held. There should be music - if people don't think they can sit through Mahler's 9th I should prepare in advance a song list that will include pieces that I like and find relevant. I'd like some poetry to be read out - maybe some of my own if there's anything suitable by then - some prose excerpts from Montaigne, Sartre, Lovecraft, Borges...no doubt specific passages will suggest themselves to me over the years from other authors as well. A short address by three or four friends and relatives. And then a toast to the dead followed by a feast, for the living. It seems like a good way to wind things up.

Vargas pitches Mariners over Royals, 4-1

SEATTLE (AP) -- Jason Vargas is hearing discussions of his departure second-hand.
As the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches, Vargas is doing plenty to get his name onto the tongues of general managers desperate for pitching down the stretch.
On Thursday night, Vargas allowed one hit over eight innings to win his career-high 11th game, and Mike Carp had three hits to help the Seattle Mariners beat the Kansas City Royals 4-1.
Vargas has grown as a pitcher since coming to Seattle after being acquired from the New York Mets in a three-team, 12-player trade Dec. 10, 2008. And, he doesn't want to leave.
''This has really been my first home in the big leagues,'' Vargas said. ''I was given a lot of opportunity here, and I'm thankful that I've taken advantage of it and thankful that they kept giving me opportunity. I hope that what I can do out on the field is worth them keeping me here.''
Vargas (11-7) allowed only a fourth-inning double - when Billy Butler swung at a 3-0 pitch - struck out five and walked three.
He retired the first 11 batters he faced before Butler's 200th career double drove in Lorenzo Cain in the fourth. Vargas had walked Cain, then fell behind 3-0 before Butler drilled a fastball to the gap in left-center.
Kansas City did not get a runner to second base against Vargas after the fourth inning. He's taken the mound following a Mariners loss in 14 of his 22 starts this season and has a 10-2 record with a 2.76 ERA in those games. He's 4-0 with a 1.46 ERA in five July starts.
''Obviously it means you're doing all right if they're talking about other teams wanting you, but this is where I want to stay,'' Vargas said.
Tom Wilhelmsen pitched the ninth for his 12th save in 14 opportunities.
Consecutive sixth-inning doubles from Miguel Olivo and Carlos Peguero pushed Seattle's lead to 4-1. After getting ahead of Brendan Ryan 0-2, Mendoza walked Ryan on four consecutive breaking balls in the dirt, one of which was a wild pitch that moved Peguero to third. That ended Mendoza's night and put the Mariners in business with first and third and no outs.
Mendoza found trouble early when the Mariners piled three hits and a hit batter together for two runs in the first. Carp's single up the middle with the bases loaded scored Ackley and John Jaso for a 2-0 lead.
Ackley's hard single to start the game snapped his 0-for-20 streak. He finished the night 2-for-3 with two walks and a run scored.
Carp hit .286 with 12 home runs and 46 RBIs after the All-Star break last year. He was slowed this year after separating his right shoulder during Seattle's opening series in Japan.
''I've got two months to prove I'm past the injury and prove last year wasn't a fluke,'' Carp said.
The two hits were a season-low for Kansas City.
''We just couldn't get anything going,'' Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. ''Going into the ninth inning, I was glad I gave Billy the 3-0 green light. That was our only hit.''
NOTES: Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma has left the team until Saturday for personal reasons. Iwakuma returned to his native Japan and will not miss a start, according to manager Eric Wedge. ... . Jeff Francoeur picked up an assist after losing a fly ball in the sun in the first when he threw to second to get a fielder's choice out. The mistake gave him the major league-lead in assists with 12.

Saint Catherine of Alexandria – DUM TACET CLAMAT
Posted on November 25, 2016 November 26, 2016 by frrich6232
Our Lord warned us that we may be persecuted for being his followers but that it will lead to our witnessing to him. He said we shouldn’t fear or need to rehearse what we might say to those who oppose us and our values, for Our Lord promised: “I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute”.
Our Lord’s promise was dramatically fulfilled in Saint Catherine of Alexandria, whose feast we celebrate today. Although we know little for certain about her, this saint has been venerated for over a thousand years. Saint Dominic was so impressed by her witness to Christ and the truth that he adopted her as the secondary patron and protector of the Order.
According to tradition, Catherine was a pagan who had the benefit of a good education. In the course of her studies, she learned about the Faith and became a Christian. When the emperor Maxentius began persecuting the Church, Catherine rebuked him for being so tyrannical. Unable to answer her arguments against his pagan gods, the emperor called in fifty of his smartest philosophers. Instead of changing Catherine’s mind, they were all convinced by her and wound up being burned by the emperor for having converted to Christianity.
The emperor’s curious wife and some of his officers went to see Catherine in prison. They too were converted, along with the soldiers who were guarding her. In his fury the emperor had Catherine tortured and beheaded.
It’s unlikely that any of us will be martyred for our faith, but we can be martyred in so many little ways, even in a religious community. We know we are in good company when we are put on the spot for doing the right thing or saying the right words. And yet we need never worry or rehearse what we are to say to those who oppose us, for Our Lord himself will give us the words we need.

Chapter 522 How’s the Dante Catalogue Doing? Or, There are No Crystal Balls in Antiquarian Bookselling →

Chapter 521 2010 San Francisco Antiquarian Book Fair, Part 3, Or, These are the Days
And now, the conclusion of the 2010 San Francisco Antiquarian Book Fair . . . When Tom — who worked very hard and never complained — had finished helping me unpack the Bookmobile and put some books on shelves, Thoughtful Husband, Huck, and our neighbor, who, in keeping with the Tom Sawyer theme, we’ll call Joe Harper (close friend of Tom Sawyer), came to pick up Tom and go the aquarium in the City. I finished setting up the booth and set out to find the book of my dreams, the sleeper no other booksellers noticed, the book on which I could make some money. As I set out to make a circuit of the large exhibition hall, I took along a few Dante catalogues to distribute to the other booksellers. Due to the delay in receiving the print catalogue from the printer, I had mailed the catalogue to customers and other booksellers only a few days before the fair. I decided to mail catalogues to local booksellers who would receive it before the fair and to personally give a catalogue to out-of-town booksellers at the fair. If I had mailed it to them, they wouldn’t have received it in time for the fair. Before I got very far, I saw a bookseller I know walking my way. This is the same bookseller who at a bookseller holiday party had scoffed (and rightly so) at the idea of the Dante catalogue ever making its way into print after nearly three years. I made sure to mail him a copy of the catalogue as soon as I received it. I wanted him to know I had finished it at last.
I worried what he’d say to me. Here was a bookseller who (justifiably) thought that because of an almost comical amount delays I perhaps wouldn’t be able to finish my catalogue. Here was a bookseller who quite likely wondered if, when I did finish the catalogue, the books offered by this newcomer would be worthwhile. Would the catalogue prove that it was worth the wait? I wanted to hide behind the trophy case in my booth or dive beneath the tables. Perhaps the only thing worse than not completing the catalogue would be to have completed it and have people think it was no good. Well, even worse than that, really, would be to sell no books from the catalogue. I know I shouldn’t be too wrapped up in what other people think of it. But still . . .
I looked around and saw nowhere to hide. I briefly hoped that maybe he hadn’t had time to look at the catalogue before the book fair. “Chris!” he called out to me, striding towards me. No hiding now. He shook my hand warmly and said, “Your catalogue is beautiful. I hope you won’t mind, but I’ve forwarded it to a customer who I think will be quite interested in it.”
Would I mind? Of course not. Heartened, I thanked him for his kind words and set out to find some books and give out the rest of the catalogues. I found a few nice books while making the rounds of the other bookseller’s booths. Three beautifully bound books about Italy, some original photographs by an American woman photographer, and a few other little gems written by American women. The fair was indeed getting off to a good start, though there was not one “amazing” find in particular. All of my finds were good solid books priced at a point where I could still make a profit.
When I returned to my booth, one of my favorite bookselling friends was waiting for me. She’s a mom to two boys, too, and she completely understands why things like Cub Scouts and homework projects might make me take me so long to complete the Dante catalogue. Showing her solidarity as a fellow bookselling mom, she asked me to sign her copy of the catalogue. A couple of other people asked me to do the same thing. I was bemused and surprised but flattered.
When it opened to the public on Saturday, the fair was a busy one. I sold books of all kinds to book lovers, book collectors, and booksellers. Sunday was a bit slower, with less sales, but I sold a few expensive books that day, so it was a good day for me. It was a great fair, this time as much about my catalogue’s coming out as it was about selling books. I had a great time. At the end of the weekend, I had ten invoices to book lovers and collectors, nine invoices to booksellers, and one invoice to a library. Some of the invoices were for multiple items. There was no one type of book sold. I sold all kinds of books, ranging in price from $25 to $1,000. This fair was the first in a while where booksellers in particular seemed to have a little bit of cash to buy books again. That wasn’t the case this past year at the Santa Monica or Sacramento fairs. That, or maybe I didn’t have the books people were seeking at that fair. That’s the fun part of the book business. You never know what will sell, and sometimes you are pleasantly surprised by what does.
I realized that the 2010 San Francisco Antiquarian Book Fair was three days I will always remember when I look back at my progress as a bookseller. After three years, I had reached a goal I had set for myself a long time ago. I had written back in 2007 that the two of the hallmarks of a “real” antiquarian bookseller are selling books at book fairs and issuing print catalogues. I’ve since learned that there are other equally important qualities (like buying books at a good price; forming relationships with colleagues, customers, and librarians; and learning how much you still don’t know), but it’s fun to go back and think about what it took to get here. See you in the stacks!
Coming soon: Is the true measure of a catalogue’s success whether the books are selling? I’ll let you know how the Dante catalogue is doing.

You can a find spanner wrenches of all sizes in a bicycle shop in the tool area. A pair of vise grips may work also but you may to use something to hold the top one while you loosen the bottom on. – Alaska Man Sep 28 '19 at 21:50
That's got to be the US term for it. In the UK all nuts are 'spanner nuts', because a spanner is what we call a wrench ;-) – Tetsujin Sep 29 '19 at 13:25
@Tetsujin In the UK, spanners are called spanners, and adjustable ones are called adjustable spanners... Spanner may be also used to refer to someone but that is not polite... Wrench is more American... And given I spent my apprenticeship in the UK “on the tools” I know a spanner when I see one. – Solar Mike Sep 29 '19 at 18:07
@SolarMike I do know one US supplier that calls a tube spanner a "spanner wrench". It always seems like whoever named it is a bit of a spanner spanner – Chris H Sep 30 '19 at 9:59

Summertime and the Living is Easy – Algonquin College Social Media Certificate Program
July 30, 2015 by candyj1205
Summertime is amazing! It always brings me back to my childhood. Long days of carefree meanderings. Out early in the morning until dusk. Swimming in pools that were not so crystal clear, more like murky, but we didn’t care because it was cool and wet. We would ride our bikes for hours out into the country because we could or all through the city. A nightly game of hide and seek or flags with all the kids in the neighbourhood was always on the agenda. We would go down to the pond and catch tadpoles and play with the frogs that lived there.
We went camping every weekend so then I would be hanging out with my cousins, going swimming without adult supervision, walking in the muck when the water was down, running in the trails, catching firefly’s at night, going from campfire to campfire and talking to strangers. When I was a teenager going camping also consisted of going to the beach early in the morning alone and staying until suppertime with nothing but my Walkman and a couple of dollars for some french fries. There was no thought of bad things happening, naivety was at an all time high. We would have large family reunions in Springbank Park or a big back yard. We would also have a large BBQ potluck at our campground. Our parents didn’t know where we were half the time and there was no way of getting a hold of us because we were outside somewhere. That was fine as long as we were home for dinner and then home at dusk. Our house didn’t have air conditioning so there were some nights where I would sleep in front of our large floor fan that was situated in front of the front screen door, or I would be sleeping in our trailer in our backyard.
I have very fond memories of my summers growing up. I tried to give my kids some of these experiences. Well at least the one’s where I knew where they were. They never got to swim unaccompanied anywhere as I always had them at arm’s length away. They still like camping and go now and then with their own friends.
How do you remember your summers? If you have children, how do their summers differ then yours did?

My summers were spent at the family cottage – swimming and reading. Like you, we were allowed to explore unattended. But, Dad always needed to know where we were going and when we would be back. And, boy oh boy, you did not want to be late! I have the same rules for my tween and teens – off you go to enjoy summer with friends. But, for safety and courtesy, they need to tell me where they are going and when to expect them home.

July Home Prices Lowest Since '87 : Real estate: The number of sales drops 13% from a year ago. But some realtors say figures show that market has bottomed out for some houses. - latimes
July Home Prices Lowest Since '87 : Real estate: The number of sales drops 13% from a year ago. But some realtors say figures show that market has bottomed out for some houses.
The average sale price of a single-family home in the San Fernando Valley was the lowest for the month of July since 1987, while the number of homes sold declined by 13% compared to the same month last year.
The average resale price of a single-family home in July was $218,600, down slightly from the average price of $223,400 last year. The July average was also nearly 4% lower than June's average sale price of $227,100.
In July, the median sales price also fell 7% to $172,500, compared to $185,000 a year ago, according to figures released by the San Fernando Valley Assn. of Realtors. (The median price is the point at which half the houses sold for less and half for more.)
Pat A. Zicarelli, president of the realtors' group, said that the July stats show "resale prices have bottomed out in certain price ranges."
Beyond this, bright spots in the July housing market were scarce. A total of 941 single-family homes closed escrow in July, down from 1,060 in July last year, and about even with 945 sold in June.
Zicarelli said sales activity typically falls off beginning in July.
Also, the earthquake last year caused many sales to be pushed back to midsummer, inflating last year's figures, said Jim Link, executive vice president of the association.
"Once the statistical effect of the quake vanishes, we may find that 1995 home resale activity is a lot stronger than the common perception," Link said.
A total of 8,502 properties--6,672 homes and 1,830 condominiums--were listed for sale on the association's listing service, up 2% from last year.
Sales of condos increased in July: 176 closed escrow, up from 134 in the same month a year earlier. But the July figure was slightly lower than last month's resale figure of 184. Meanwhile, the median price of a condo fell 23% in July to $92,000 from $119,000 in July, 1994.
In July the average sale price of a condominium was $101,500, down from $115,900 in July, 1994.
The Valley realty association, the largest in California, reports housing sales by its 7,200 members form North Hollywood to Calabasas.
Its figures do not include sales of new residences.

rf - Return Loss \$ (S_{11}) \$ Equation for a nth-order Butterworth Filter - Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange
I am designing a high power RF (lumped element) n-th order Butterworth bandpass filter for the transmitter side, so will be transforming the return loss equation for the low-pass prototype to a bandpass filter. I have the equations for the transfer function and for the insertion loss, but not the return loss.
Also, if someone can provide me with a reference text or handbook for this type of question, I'd much appreciate it.
I did check the first 7 suggested posts, but this question has not been answered before.
\$ Z_{source} = Z_{load} \$, in this case, 50 Ω

\$\begingroup\$ What is the input impedance of the circuit and what, ideally would you want it to be. From those parameters you can calculate return loss. \$\endgroup\$ – Andy aka Jul 25 '15 at 11:28
\$\begingroup\$ I thought there might be some closed form equation that I could use, rather than performing circuit analysis on the circuit. \$\endgroup\$ – My Other Head Jul 25 '15 at 11:46
\$\begingroup\$ Well, you're going to have to perform circuit simulation on it to get any sort of accuracy in your filter response, especially if you take into account the component parasitics. Depending on the frequency and powers you're looking at, you may have to take those into account to get an accurate simulation, so you might as well start out with a simulation \$\endgroup\$ – rfdave Jul 25 '15 at 15:25
There is no single answer to this question. There are numerous circuits that can implement any particular filter design, as we discussed in a recent question The return loss (\$S_{11}\$) depends on the topology you choose to implement the filter.
If you use an active topology, for example, then only the first stage will affect \$Z_{in}\$, and thus only the first stage will affect \$S_{11}\$.
If you choose a passive topology it depends if you construct the filter from pi sections or T-sections or some other topology.
For example, if you use pi sections (with LC parallel elements in the shunt members), then \$S_{11}\$ will go to -1 in the stop-bands. If you use T sections (with LC series elements in the through members) it will go to +1.
If you use microstrip elements, the behavior will likely have some complex periodic behavior in the stop bands.
Whichever one you choose, \$S_{11}\$ should be near zero in the pass band. Whether you achieve -40 or -50 or -60 dB probably depends more on choosing very tight-tolerance parts or trimming the circuit carefully, rather than on the nominal design. Although some design choices might be more or less sensitive to component variation. So a closed form solution for reflections in the nominal design won't help as much as doing a Monte Carlo simulation accounting for likely component variations.
If \$n\$ is more than 2, I'd suggest to just simulate the design rather than try to find a closed-form solution, because the equations will get rather tedious to deal with very quickly.
\$\begingroup\$ I'm a bit puzzled. I stated the filter is for high power RF (commonly meaning 20+ dBm and below 1GHz) and lumped-element, so microstrip and active topology is not applicable, and that I am after the filter prototype equation, which I thought means a Cauer ladder topology by definition. I agree \$ S_{11} \$ should be near zero, so for practical purposes I'm aiming for -30dB, -40dB, -60dB if I can get it. I'm still examining the recent question you mentioned. Thanks for your help so far. \$\endgroup\$ – My Other Head Jul 25 '15 at 17:52
\$\begingroup\$ Even if you restrict it to Cauer ladder topology, you can still choose whether the initial section is pi or T, and if n > 2 you can still choose different ways to arrange the sections to implement the poles and zeros. Also, if you really want high power handling, you should consider microstrip implementations rather than lumped elements. \$\endgroup\$ – The Photon Jul 25 '15 at 18:03
\$\begingroup\$ Also, "high power" does not imply less than 1 GHz. There are lots of high power applications above 1 GHz. Most of the define radar bands (L, K, X, ...), for example, are above 1 GHz. "High power" doesn't even really say anything about power. If you want us to know what band you're operating in and how much power you're using, you need to tell us what band and how much power. \$\endgroup\$ – The Photon Jul 25 '15 at 18:08
\$\begingroup\$ Apologies. I meant 50+ dBm and below 1 GHz (VHF\UHF). \$\endgroup\$ – My Other Head Jul 25 '15 at 18:09
\$\begingroup\$ Just checking a reference that might answer this question and my subsequent one on Chebyshev type 2: Matthei, Young and Jones, 1963. I didn't realise I've had it all along, but was reluctant to wade through the 1000 pages or so of it. It will be interesting to see what they say about parasitics. Back in a day or two. \$\endgroup\$ – My Other Head Jul 25 '15 at 18:34

Adventures with God: Onesiphorus
I have to apologize to you; I've been a terrible blogger. I'm still in Canada, though, and I still need your prayers, so I hope you'll forgive me!
I was at church yesterday, and I heard a sermon on Onesiphorus. If you don't know who that is, that's pretty normal. He's a guy who lived in Ephesus and probably went to Timothy's church, back in the day. Paul talks about him twice in 2 Timothy, and that's the only time he shows up in Scripture:
2 Timothy 1:16 The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; 17 but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me. 18 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day—and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus.
This guy was pretty awesome. He was a regular dude, but he encouraged and refreshed Paul. He wasn't ashamed of Paul's being in prison (not afraid to associate and identify with someone that others were trying to shame), and when he traveled to Rome, he made a huge effort to find Paul. According to what I can find in several sources on the Internet (and some through Google Books, so it's not a totally lost cause), the population of Rome could have been several hundred thousand to just over a million at the time. I just want to let it sink in that, at this time, cell phones, phone books, and the Internet did not exist. So Onesiphorus combed through the city till he found Paul, and then he went and hung out with him at one of the lowest points of his Christian life (see 2 Tim. 4:9-16, noting everybody who bailed on him).
Anyway, I wanted to mention some Onesiphoruses (Onesiphori? Yeah, I had to go there) that have refreshed me lately:
Karlena and Veronica: these two ladies have become really cherished fellow-laborers. The three of us share the same heart for the Iranian church, and they are awesome prayer warriors and encouragers. They made the effort to find me and include me and pray with and for me, and they have been like cold water to a weary soul.
The team from Pine Lake, who came through a few weeks ago: Andy and Pam, Tim and Donna, Pam, Vera, Paige and Courtney, Grant, Ryan, Lauren, Emily, Regan, Paige, and Kayla. They were here for a week, helping with the Centre, but they were incredibly encouraging and refreshing. It was awesome to see a group of teenagers who love God, love each other, and love other people. It was also just really excellent to hang out with a group of people from Mississippi, who could all speak my language. The time I got to spend with their group was incredibly refreshing.
Carolyn Higginbotham and the Bellevue prayer team, Amanda McClure, Pat LaBelle, and the First Baptist Mt. Pleasant prayer team: I sent out a crucial prayer request letter, and these ladies were on it. The Lord really listened to their prayers and has started to do something special in the Iranian church.
My parents: they pray for me every time we talk, and they listen and love me even when I'm culture-shocking.
These people have been like Onesiphorus for me; who has refreshed you?
The Lord is uniting people in support of the Iranian church, and His Spirit really seems to be moving among people.
I have made several new contacts through some of my friends' personal networks. The Lord seems to be widening my sphere of contact.
I was able to have a significant part of a conversation in Farsi last Monday.
I have one girl (already a Christian) who wants to spend time studying the Bible with me on a weekly basis.
My landlord is talking about selling the house. This won't be able to happen for several months, but, if she does end up selling, I want the remaining time spent living with her to be fruitful. Please pray for an open door for the gospel. Pray that God would cause her heart to long for Him.
Pray for boldness to share the gospel as I build these friendships. Pray for wisdom and gentleness and real love in how I share the gospel.
Pray for my Farsi study. I have not been working very hard at it for the past few weeks, and I need to pick back up and keep studying.
Pray for this fledgling Bible study and that the Lord would open the door for more people to come. Pray that non-Christians would come.
I was reading Jonah in my quiet time a little back, and I hit the end of Jonah where God expresses His concern for a great city of 125,000. Vancouver has 2.3 million. Pray that the Lord would raise up laborers for His harvest here and that the Holy Spirit would work in people's lives to convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and that he would draw people to Jesus Christ.
Pray for Karlena. The Lord has given her a big, long-term vision for discipleship and training. Pray for like-minded fellow-workers and wisdom in putting it together.
Please continue to pray for the Iranian church, for healing and reconciliation.
Again, thank you so much for praying!
