Okay, that's not the one I got from Shawn But I did just get it today at the autoparts swap meet... the guy hauled it there on it's "back" and now the bottom drawers won't open, so he dropped the price, and I chatted with him some, and he let me have it for $5. now to restore it....

KR352 Roll Cab (1953-1958)
KR422 Drawer Section (1958)
And I found the bar/lever used to lock the drawers in the roll cab, and it works fine
so it's a fully functional set for $5. I might replace the locks....

My top box is a 1960's Snap-On complete with matching vintage sticker collection. The guy never really worked out of it from what I was told so it's basically mint. I'll have to snap a pic when I get a chance.

It's not a rolling tool box but it's a workbench that I designed at work. It's made mostly from 14ga, type 316 stainless steel with a mirror finish. Personally I would have gone with a bushed finish through out but the yacht company that's buying it wanted it shinny. The drawer slides are rated at a little over 100lb per pair and there are 11 pairs of slides. The slides are also 100% s/s with ball bearings. You don't want to know how much they cost.
Thats too pretty to use!

Looks like it belongs in a nice kitchen :-p
The kitchen and restaurant people prefer a brushed finish. I know this because the company I work for dose mostly restaurant tables, cabinets, hoods, etc...
This work bench is going to end up in the engine room of a yacht. I might be getting a couple of more picture here in a day or two now that the workbench and matching wall cabinet are ready to ship.
And Rob, if you want to see some of my other handy work, go to the Taco Time in Bonney Lake and check out the big prep counter in the middle of the kitchen.

Here you'll see my Toolboxes & work bench.
This is the opposite wall of my garage, with my other workstation. Here is where the failed RC experiments were held. Along with a few toyota tid-bits, wiring & small jobs on the brat.
Tomorrow I plan on taking a load to the dump and can finish the rest of the cleanup.

Charles Fellows in Aphrodisias
British archaeologist and explorer Sir Charles Fellows (1799–1860) discovered the ruins of a number of ancient cities in Asia Minor (modern Turkey), including Xanthus, the ancient capital of Lycia, which he excavated under the sponsorship of the British Museum but he funded personally. He was knighted in 1845 for his assistance in having marble reliefs and monuments from this area brought to England. Public response to their London exhibit was sensational.
On his way to Lycia, Fellows spent three days at Aphrodisias. The following account of his visit to Aphrodisias is taken from the meticulously documented and illustrated report he presented to the British Museum, published as An Account of Discoveries in Lycia, being a Journal Kept during a Second Excursion in Asia Minor (1840). In it he describes the relationship of the pagan and Christian ruins at the site.

Bible Text:
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. —Isaiah 53:6
And now we have to conclude that all those who wander about here and there turn away from our Lord Jesus Christ; for the Prophet declares that there has never been a patriarch or a prophet, or single one of all the holy Fathers and martyrs, who has not had need to be reconciled to God by the death and passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If Abraham, the father of believers, if David, the mirror of all righteousness, if others like them, Job and Daniel, who are named as mirrors of all sanctity and perfection, if they, say I, were poor sheep, strayed and lost until they were gathered by our Lord Jesus Christ—alas! how shall it be with us?
So then, when we go to seek them as our mediators and imagine that by their means we shall escape from the perdition we are in, do we not show that we are altogether ungrateful to our Lord Jesus Christ? Do we not show that we have lost our senses when we go to beg from those who also need to have recourse to the death and passion of our Lord Jesus Christ? For if necessity constrains us to seek a remedy, we must go to him in whom believers of all time have found their refuge.
For neither St. Peter, nor St. Paul, nor the Virgin Mary, nor anyone else, is an exception. So then, let us learn to come to the source and fountain and to draw thence what we lack. For our Lord Jesus has enough to satisfy us all; and we need never fear that the fullness of grace which he has in himself will be exhausted; to each one he will give his part and portion when we come to seek it of him. —Sermons
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."
These devotional readings from John Calvin were compiled by John H. Kromminga. Be sure to read his "Introduction" to John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart.

CHICAGO (AP) — Video poker machines are being turned on in at least some Illinois bars and restaurants.
The manager of Chino's Pizzeria in the Chicago suburb of Justice says the restaurant's three machines came on around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Jeff Glover says he'd just finished mopping when he saw the machines lit up as actual games, instead of with the "out of service" message that had been displayed for weeks. He says the machines are accepting money normally.
Glover says he's been watching the machines for months waiting for them to turn on.
Illinois Gaming Board spokesman Gene O'Shea said he couldn't immediately comment but a statement is planned.
The state approved video gambling in 2009 to help fund a $31 billion construction program to fix schools, roads and other transportation projects.

Ron Loftus, professor of Japanese studies at Willamette University, published a new book detailing the lives of women in post-war Japan.
"Changing Lives: The 'Postwar" in Japanese Women's Autobiographies and Memoirs," presents translations from memoirs and autobiographies by Japanese women.
The women who appear in the book are far from household names, even in Japan. They include Okabe Itsuko, a nonfiction writer and cultural critic; Shinya Eikô, a stage and screen actress; and Yoshitake Teruko, an activist and historian.
Jan Bardsley, an associate professor of Japanese humanities at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, says Loftus' translations give an "immediate and vibrant sense of life in postwar Japan."
"'Changing Lives' reveals how women came to terms with war, defeat and occupation, and their determined struggles against persistent gender inequality," she says.
"Loftus situates each memoir within the author's life, the women's movement, and the broader history of post-war Japan. Above all, 'Changing Lives' offers portraits of courage and stubborn resilience. It is a book that will inspire students and instructors alike."
Students in Loftus' history class, "Postwar Japan: Protests and Feminisms," are reading the book. Research for "Changing Lives" was funded in by the Center for Asian Studies, which Loftus directs.
Loftus' first book, "Telling Lives: Women's Self-Writing in Modern Japan" was published in 2004 and won a prize from the Western Association of Women Historians in 2006 for the Best Book on Women's Autobiography.

Old English ruh "rough, coarse (of cloth); hairy, shaggy; untrimmed, uncultivated," from West Germanic *rukhwaz "shaggy, hairy, rough" (cf. Middle Dutch ruuch, Dutch ruig, Old High German ruher, German rauh), from Proto-Germanic *rukhaz, from PIE *reue- "to smash, knock down, tear out, dig up" (cf. Sanskrit ruksah "rough;" Latin ruga "wrinkle," ruere "to rush, fall violently, collapse," ruina "a collapse;" Lithuanian raukas "wrinkle," rukti "to shrink").
The original -gh- sound was guttural, as in Scottish loch. Sense of "approximate" is first recorded c.1600. Of places, "riotous, disorderly, characterized by violent action," 1863. Rough draft is from 1690s. Rough-and-ready is from 1810, originally military; rough-and-tumble (1810) is from a style of free-fighting.
late 15c., from rough (adj.). Related: Roughed; roughing. Phrase rough it "submit to hardships" (1768) is originally nautical:
To lie rough; to lie all night in one's clothes: called also roughing it. Likewise to sleep on the bare deck of a ship, when the person is commonly advised to chuse the softest plank. [Grose, "Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue," 1788]To rough out "shape or plan approximately" is from 1770. To rough up "make rough" is from 1763. To rough (someone) up "beat up, jostle violently" is from 1868. The U.S. football penalty roughing was originally a term from boxing (1866).
c.1200, "broken ground," from rough (adj.). Meaning "a rowdy" is first attested 1837. Specific sense in golf is from 1901. Phrase in the rough "in an unfinished or unprocessed condition" (of timber, etc.) is from 1819.

Pensacola put up a 4 spot in the 4th, now lead Mobile 4-0 going to bottom 5. Didi and HRod are both 2 for 3, Sulbaran pitching.
In the last four games, Bats starters have gone 2.1, 1.2, 4.2, and now .2 innings. Hopefully the Reds will send some help from Dayton up tomorrow for a game or two - the bullpen is at the end of the line.
Stalin Gerson (6 IP) and Dan Jensen (3 IP) combined on a 3-hitter as Dayton won, 6-0. Jensen, the former UC guy, is starting to make a little name for himself, it would seem. He also fits right in at 6-foot-8.
Juan Perez homered and Silva (triple) and Ryan Wright had three hits apiece.
Sulbaran's final line: 5.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 4 K. Pensacola leads 6-1 in the seventh.
Louisville lost 9-4. Janish and Navarro had two hits.
Hamilton stole his seventh but was also caught. Vidal has homered. Both have two hits. Josh Smith was pulled in the fifth and Bakersfield trails 6-3 in the seventh.
Serrano and Manno finish off Pensacola's 6-1 victory. Didi had three hits and is up to .333.
Slidin' Billy (.310) and Vidal (.321) each finish with three hits, but Bakersfield falls 6-4.
The view from San Jose:
- All three of Billy's hits were infield singles, he's pretty fast.
- Vidal was the designated "beer batter" (half-price beer if he strikes out) and had two strikes when he hit the home run, so that upset the natives.
Yorman wasn't in the lineup, but he was on the field before the game, with Eli Marrero trying to show him something about batting stances. Judging by his body language Yorman seemed to seriously disagree with what he was being shown! Top marks for his bench work though: he was the most enthusiastic high fiver and butt patter.

UNIX/Linux vs. MS Windows
Before getting into syntax and the whys of the whole chmod command, I want to get one thing straight. Changing modes do not exist to this extent in MS Windows. There is a similar model that Windows uses in its Management and Active Directory services, using users and groups. In UNIX/Linux it's quite a bit different though. chmod is not used in MS Windows. In MS Windows, the attrib command is used, and is (again) quite different from chmod.
Another point I would like to make is, as much as I am a proud MS Windows user, the UNIX/Linux commands that are offered are far more powerful than those offered by MS Windows. There are more options in UNIX/Linux. For example, switches are case sensitive, so you can have even more switches than in MS Windows, as MS Windows is not case sensitive. This is just a minor comparison and contrast between UNIX/Linux and MS Windows.
The main reason I'm not comparing the Mac is because I really haven't had much experience with it. I'm also not comparing it because the Mac uses Darwin Linux. This is simply a different flavor of Linux (BSD), so most of the UNIX/Linux commands will more than likely work with a Mac.{mospagebreak title=chmod Reasoning}
So why use chmod? Do I have to? Does it benefit me? Use it because you should. Heck yes, it benefits you! To better understand the reasoning behind the chmod command, you'll have to keep reading.
You'll want (need) to use the chmod command for changing permissions for certain network files, and for giving certain privileges for certain tasks to certain users/groups, while still keeping settings for yourself (the owner). Also, chmod, as most people that are reading this know, is used a lot when using FTP (File Transfer Protocol). In FTP, you would change the mode (change permissions) to certain directories/files so that the web server services can read/write/execute from the server, which in this case would be a UNIX/Linux server.
You don't have to use the chmod command, but I guarantee you that you will probably fail at what you are trying to do and/or lose your job if you don't use the command.
It benefits you in many ways; so many that I can't list all of them. To name a few things, you can set privileges to certain folders/directories/sub-directories for not only yourself (owner), but also groups and the world (other). As I said above, using chmod lets you change file permissions for the web, allowing the read/write functions of a program written in such languages as PHP or CGI/Perl and other server side languages.Using chmod in Linux
Now we can start using the keyboard and start something a little more interesting than the basics of the chmod command and why to use it. You can use the chmod command in a web server environment in two cases: if you have shell access or if you are hosting your website on your machine and have access to the computer directly. If you didn't have this kind of access, then you would use the chmod command in an FTP environment. FTP is not covered in this article.
In a UNIX/Linux environment (or if you had direct Shell access) you would use the chmod command directly as if you were in the actual environment, unless you are in the environment, in that case keep reading. The chmod command is structured with the command name followed by switches, then modes, then files/directories. Here's the raw markup:
chmod [switches] [mode] [files]
This is a raw markup, meaning that it with not work; it just shows you how you would structure your bash command for using the chmod command. Next we are going to talk about switches.{mospagebreak title=Switches}
Switches are also known as line options in Linux. These line options are used to get output by the main command (our case being the chmod command). I'm going to explain only two switches, but remember, there are many resources out there that can show you more switches. The switches are the -R (Recursive) and -v (verbose) switches. NOTE: UNIX/Linux is case-sensitive!
The -R (Recursive) switch is a very powerful switch. It allows you to recursively (ahh, that's why they call it that!) command the chmod command to not only change the mode to the directory you specify, but also the directory's subfolders. As I said, it is very useful. Suppose that we have a folder called Test and it has four sub-directories called: Production, Alpha, Beta, and PR, respectively. The problem is, we are limited in time, and we have to make these kinds of changes on a Linux machine to about 400 other Linux machines, so we have to be able to do it fast.
GUIs (Graphical User Interface) are cute, but also very slow. A directory at a time is still slow, even though it is much faster than using a GUI. So our only alternative is to use the -R switch for chmod; remember we are changing modes. Let's see how we would do this in an example:
chmod -R 755 /Test
What we are doing here is telling the chmod command to give the owner Read, Write, and Execute permissions. Groups that are assigned to the file get Read and Execute permissions; World (other) also gets Read and Execute permissions. We will go into modes later. While giving permissions to the three types on objects, we are telling it to do this to the Test directory and all of its sub-directories.
Next I will discuss using the -v (verbose) switch. This is probably one of my favorite (still useful) commands that UNIX/Linux has, and is usually used for a lot of different commands. The -v (Verbose) switch just outputs what the chmod command is doing. It tells you it is assigning permissions, to each directory, where it is, and any errors is has along the way.
Again, suppose that we have a folder called Test and it has four sub-directories called: Production, Alpha, Beta, and PR, respectively. To really show you output of this, you should try it out for yourself. It's neat, but looks crazy. You would use the -v (verbose) switch in case you are a computer nut and want to just see what's happening, need to find out why something isn't working (troubleshooting), or need to just make sure everything is doing what it is suppose to be doing. Let's see how we would do this in an example:
chmod -v 755 /Test
Before I go any further, remember what I said about case-sensitivity; I meant it, so be aware. Since you should know what the above example is saying, I'll be brief. The only difference with this command is it displays everything that is happening from the chmod command's start to end. Everything else is the same. If you need to read over this section again, please do; we are now going into the really fun part, modes.{mospagebreak title=Modes}
Basically modes are a simple way of saying permissions. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but they aren't part of this article. There are three basic modes: -r (read), -w (write), -e (execute). See the chmod figure.
CHMOD Figure
Later in this article, I'll explain how you can find out the number system for certain modes (permissions). Modes to a basic extent is very easy and simple. You have three numbers: the first number is for the owner, the second for the group, and the third for the world. Depending upon the numbers, you will get a certain permission assigned to the respective object. We will use the examples from above:
chmod -v 755 /Test
This states that the owner is assigned Read, Write, and Execute permissions; groups that are assigned to the file/directory get Read and Execute permissions; world (other) also gets Read and Execute permissions.
Take a break. Drink some coffee or tea. If you're avoiding caffeine, do 100 jumping jacks. Then come back for the fun part: binary/octet conversion.The Structure of chmod octet
You see octets all the time. If you recall, an IP address is a series of four (4) octets. Simply put, an octet is eight bits of data. So in an IP address you have your localhost (127.0.0.1). You have four octets: 127, 0, 0, and 1. We now have to go back to remembering binary. Even though it might be a one (1) it is still set in binary as 0001, which is 1 bit of data. With an IP address, however, it is viewed as eight bits in binary, so it would look like 00000001, thus the eight bits – octet (Figure 1).
Figure 1
So what's this have to do with chmod? Well, in order to make permissions with chmod using the numerical format, you have to know how to convert the permission (binary) to octet. Read = 4, Write = 2, Execute = 1. Do you see the pattern? If you don't, look at Figure 1; it goes: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and so on. We only need the first three bits of binary: 1, 2, and 4. This is a simple structure of the chmod's octet.{mospagebreak title=Mentally Converting from "read/write/execute" to 777}
Now we go through the process of converting the -r, -w, -e modes, to the numerical (faster) way of implementing a chmod command. Remember how I said that the first three bits in binary (read 4, 2, 1) are what are used for read, write, and execute? That's what we use. Look at Figure 2 to see this in a graphical implementation.
Figure 2
But that's just one number. Yes, that one number is the first number, which is used for the owner. We still have two other permissions to set: one for group and one for world. You do the same for group and world as we did for owner: convert the textual (read, write, execute) permissions to the octet (777) permissions.
As we do this over the process, we come up with a situation. We need to set the following permissions for a file called test.txt: owner = read, write, execute; group = read, execute; world = read. This is our practical example. The permissions would be: 754. To get this follow Figure 3 as a guide.
Figure 3
So by way of the guide, you just add up the numbers that are "on" and leave out or put a zero (0) in place of an "off" number. You get your number and you go to the next object. When you are finished you come out with three (3) numbers; this is the chmod mode you are going to use. Remember that your mode is just permissions, so if you want to set certain permissions, your mode will change.Using the Octet version of chmod in UNIX/Linux
Now that we know how to convert from mode permissions using -r, -w, -e to 777 (note: it's not always 777, it could be 755 — it's dependent on your permissions), we can now use this methodology in a UNIX/Linux environment. Say that we want to do a basic chmod, giving the owner read and write access, group write access, and the rest of the world read access to a file called text.txt. The following would be the correct way to do it:
chmod -v 624 test.txt
That's it! Take if from here, explore more ways of using the command line syntax. Don't just look at it from the chmod perspective, look up other commands and compare them. Most of all, have fun and learn something new! Hope you enjoyed the article and that it helped you.

"Let's get suited up."
Heather vasBinder leads the way up onto the Croswell Opera House stage, where a stack of equipment awaits her and the other members of the Blissfield-based ghosthunting group FREAKS. The three women — vasBinder, Kathryn Craley and Sarah Neyrinck — load up on the tools they will need to explore the Croswell to find any traces of its legendary ghostly denizens.
VasBinder and Craley work together at vasBinder's hair salon in Blissfield, CeCe's Chop Shop, while Neyrick's "day job" is as a dog groomer. FREAKS — Friends Researching Entities and Known Spirits — got its start after vasBinder and her family visited the Ohio State Reformatory, where scenes from the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" were filmed, as part of a tour a few years ago.
What felt like a ghostly hand touched vasBinder's shoulder while the group was in the warden's office, the location of an iconic scene in the movie, and the feeling recurred elsewhere on the tour. That convinced her a return trip to the prison was in order. She, some family members and Neyrinck went back to the reformatory in late 2011 to see what they could capture in photos and recordings.
Their findings included, in one area of the prison, a voice that seemed to whisper "Heaven's Room." Only later did the group discover that the room was a prayer space known as the "Jesus Room."
Since then, FREAKS has hunted spirits at several places including Craley's grandparents' farm near Tecumseh, a battlefield site near Monroe, and a bridge in Sylvania that a client of vasBinder's told her about.
And now, they have come to see what they can find at the Croswell.
Just about every theater seems to have a ghost story or two attached to it, and the Croswell is no exception.
For costume designer Emily Gifford, it involves a woman in a red dress, costumes Gifford has set out being inexplicably knocked over, and voices offstage near the stairs to the catwalk. Former executive director Larry Stotz had his own experience with a man in a top hat and an overcoat in the balcony area.
This particular ghost, popularly thought to be either Gov. Croswell himself or his son, was also seen once by the theater's current artistic director, Jere Righter. Righter dismissed it as "just seeing things" ... until she heard about Stotz's earlier sighting.
And some working onstage have reported seeing people sitting in a row of the balcony. The figures appear to be part of a tour group — until they just disappear.
Finding evidence of any ghostly presence takes a lot of equipment. Some of it is straightforward stuff: flashlights, two different kinds of cameras — a regular one and one that can be set for infrared and night vision settings — and a digital recorder.
But then there are the rather more unusual items: a "ghost box," which sweeps the AM/FM frequencies to pick up any ghostly communications; the Ovilus III, a boxlike device that serves essentially the same purpose through visual and voice settings; and an electromagnetic field (EMF) detector. Additionally, vasBinder has a "ghost radar" app on her smartphone that displays a circular radar sweep just like a more conventional radar does.
The tools of their trade ready, the trio begins the hunt.
"I'm getting a lot of activity over here, Heather," Neyrinck, who's carrying the "ghost box," says as they head downstairs to the costume area.
VasBinder is carrying the Ovilus III, whose electronic voice sounds much like that on a car's navigation system and has been saying seemingly random words from time to time. It abruptly says "Country." She stops.
"Is there anyone down here who'd like to talk to us? ... My name is Heather. Are you the lady in red who haunts this place? ... Why are you here?"
No response. She takes a photo of one of the dressing rooms. "When I came down here, I saw a little flutter out of the corner of my eye, and I saw something in here."
Neyrinck and Craley decide to split off. They head for the balcony with their equipment and are rewarded with some inexplicably high EMF readings in some of the seats, indicating the possible presence of those ghostly spectators.
They also pick up a male voice, broadcast over the "ghost box" and caught by them on the digital recorder, that to them sounds like the word "Croswell." "Are you Gov. Croswell?" Neyrinck asks, but gets no reply.
Down onstage, vasBinder has been exploring the area by the spiral staircase leading up to the catwalk that runs above the stage. It's quite dark in that spot, and when she and Daily Telegram photographer Vicki Schmucker both take photos of the area at the same time, the whole place is abruptly illuminated by their camera flashes.
And the Ovilus III immediately says the very appropriate word "Bright." A moment later, it says "Jane."
VasBinder and Schmucker head up to the catwalk. When they return, they have photos of what vasBender calls an "orb": a glowing sphere that shows up, with no "real-world" explanation, in one frame of a whole photo sequence, but not in the shot before or the one after of the same spot. "And look, he has a couple of friends," she says as she examines her photos.
The Ovilus III says aloud, "Evidence."
A similar orb shows up later in a shot taken of the balcony from the stage, but it too is not in either the prior or following photos of the same place.
When the women wrap up their hunt after a couple of hours, they're satisfied with what they found: no ghostly figures as such, but photographic and recorded evidence that a skeptic might agree gives credence to the whole idea of whether there are such things as ghosts.
After all, says vasBinder, "Everybody has a ghost story." She pauses. "Maybe there's a reason why."

A BABY has died after being left in a car in Bendigo, and another baby has died after being run over in a Gisborne driveway.
Homicide Squad detectives are investigating the Bendigo baby's death.
A 27-year-old Golden Square woman was interviewed overnight and has been released without charge.
"The investigation into the death of a baby girl in Golden Square last night remains ongoing by the homicide squad," a police spokeswoman said.
"As it is an ongoing investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further.
"We understand the media interest surrounding the death but we ask all media outlets to respect the family's privacy during this difficult time."
The six-month-old baby was taken by paramedics from a late-model Commodore in Thistle Street about 7.30pm last night after they received a 000 call.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate the girl for five to 10 minutes before transferring her to Bendigo Hospital, where she died shortly after.
A police spokesperson said the incident would be investigated and that no more details would be released.
Several people surrounding the home were visibly distressed as police spoke to those nearby.
About the same time, a one-year-old girl was run over by a truck in the driveway of a home in Saunders Road, Gisborne, and died at the scene.
Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
The Bendigo incident happened a day after Ambulance Victoria warned parents not to leave children in cars, with paramedics responding to more than 900 cases over 12 months.
Group manager Brett Drummond on Monday said leaving a child in a car could prove deadly.
"Babies and young children can't regulate their body temperature like adults can, so being left in a hot car can quickly become life-threatening," he said.
"Tests by Ambulance Victoria found even on a 29 degree day the inside of a car can heat up to 44 degrees within 10 minutes and reach 60 degrees within 20 minutes. This can be catastrophic and unfortunately in the past there have been cases of children dying in hot cars."
Figures from the Bureau of Meteorology show the temperature sat about 30 degrees at the time the baby was pulled from the car.
Five police cars and three ambulances attended the scene, with police arriving about 10 minutes before paramedics.
The street was cordoned off and police appeared to console several people nearby.

Submission + - Iran Tests Naval Cruise Missile During War Games
Hugh Pickens writes writes: "The NY Times reports that Iran says that it has successfully test fired a cruise missile during naval exercises near the Strait of Hormuz that have heightened tensions in a diplomatic standoff over Tehran's nuclear ambitions and that the surface-to-sea missile, known as the Qader, struck its targets with precision and destroyed them. Iran had previously announced that it intended to test a missile during the exercises, raising fears that it might try to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for tougher international sanctions. The Qader missile is said to be capable of striking warships at a range of about 125 miles, a distance that would include some American forces in the Gulf region as Iran is about 140 miles at its nearest point from Bahrain, where the US Fifth Fleet is based. Analysts say Iran's increasingly strident rhetoric, which has pushed oil prices higher, is aimed at sending a message to the West that it should think twice about the economic cost of putting further pressure on Tehran. "No order has been given for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz," Iran's state television quoted navy chief Habibollah Sayyari as saying. "But we are prepared for various scenarios.""

October has become a bittersweet month for me. Halloween is my favorite holiday (one point for October), but I had a hard time falling asleep last night because the whole town had that haunted feeling, with rattling window panes and howling wind (minus one), Juneau is all ours again (plus one). However, October also means it's PINKWASHING MONTH (minus 50).
My grandma, who passed away around Christmas last year, had breast cancer before I could remember. She had a single mastectomy, so she had a fake, gel-filled prosthesis to wear in her bra. Once my sister and I popped it with an earring (because we were curious? because we were awful?). Breast cancer has been this looming thing for my whole life because, well, I'm probably at risk.
Last month I even got diagnostic imaging done to be sure a lump I felt in my arm pit was actually a perpetually swollen lymph node and not the end of my care-free life as a healthy person. I seem to be in the clear.
But this month, the aisles of the grocery stores will be pinker, with pink packaging and pink ribbons plastered on every household good from laundry detergent to cookies, and every other product, from t-shirts to watches. There's been a belief over the years that corporations have taken advantage of, that pink ribbons and packaging imply some benefit to a breast cancer research fund or something — watch out, that's just not true.
Unless packaging specifically states that some of the proceeds go to breast cancer research, it's just pink for "awareness" or, as I like to call it, their own profits. Even if a company does give some of the proceeds to a breast cancer research foundation, it's likely the percentage is negligible. And let's also do our homework about what foundations we choose to give to, because sometimes it's a very little amount that actually goes toward breast cancer reasearch.
You know what else will be pinker? Social media. A couple years ago, women were mysteriously changing their facebook statuses to "black and lacy" or "flesh-toned and full-coverage" if they were being too honest. Why? Because people received messages directing them to describe their bras in their facebook statuses for breast cancer awareness. It was everywhere. "Red satin," and "leopard print," but with no explanation and, more importantly, no tangible effect on the lives of those with breast cancer or the lives of those at risk.
This year, I've seen a graphic shared that encourages women to go braless on Oct. 13, to "free the tatas" for the sake of "breast cancer support." I'll tell you what this doesn't support: breasts (that's a joke, but also kind of serious), or any foundation or group that benefits breast cancer patients or research. And if you're arguing it's about awareness, I ask this: Awareness of what? Awareness of the exact size and texture of one's areolae? No offense to dudes, but I bet a guy came up with this.
"Great idea, bruh, everyone loves to do something for breast cancer, so we can convince a bunch of women to wear no bras and we can ogle them and not have to use our imaginations so much!"
On Oct. 13, I urge you to wear or not wear bras, just as you normally do, and maybe do something productive toward the support of breast cancer patients, research or actual awareness.
Here are some options I recommend:
1. If you're a woman, do a breast health check. They're easy.
2. No matter who you are, consider giving a donation to one of my favorite local nonprofits, Cancer Connection, which provides direct support to locals experiencing cancer. This support comes in the way of one-on-one support, financial support to help pay for transportation, or providing use of the apartment the organization has in Seattle near the two hospitals most frequented by Juneau cancer patients. (http://www.cancerconnectionak.org/)
3. Be aware of what pink-washed things you are buying — if you see something that has a pink ribbon or packaging but doesn't give even a penny to some sort of organization that supports research or patients, write them a letter and tell them they shouldn't be trying to profit from breast cancer. Most importantly, don't buy those products.
4. Call people out. If you see someone posting a stupid graphic on facebook in the name of "breast cancer support" — we don't want to support breast cancer, rather research and patients — tell them to cut it out and do something real.
Let's make October "Do Something Real" month, and every time we see someone do something that only pays lip service to helping, let's make it a point to set aside a dollar to donate.

Dear All
On this months coverdisc there is the beta version of OOo2 - which I am keen to try.
I dont know how to install multple .rpm's through YAST (I use SuSE 9.2 pro) so I do the old rpm -Uhv *.rpm once I have cd'd to the directory.
I get an error re some kind of dependancy related to Red Hat. Are the RPM's purely for Red Hat systems or am I just being a fool again?
Many thanks.

The Data Dome: A Server Farm In a Geodesic Dome 62
1sockchuck writes In a unique approach to data center design, the new high-performance computing center in Oregon is housed in a geodesic dome. The new facility at the Oregon Health and Science University requires no mechanical air conditioning, using outside air to racks of servers reaching densities of 25kW per cabinet. The design uses an aisle containment system to separate hot and cold air, and can recirculate server exhaust heat to adjust cold aisle temperatures in the winter. It's a very cool integration of many recent advances in data center design, combining elements of the Yahoo Chicken Coop and server silo in Quebec. The school has posted a virtual tour that provides a deep technical dive.

There are "pocket passers" or "elite QBs" that are way better than most of the other starting QBs in the league. Does that mean the rest of the QBs in the NFL should give up? No.
There are 32 starting QBs in the NFL and every QB can't be a Brady, Rodgers, Brees, or Kaepernick. Somehow these "inferior" QBs manage to win games. Maybe because it takes a TEAM to win - not just a great QB or star RB.
He was 7-4 in the regular season last year, and 1-1 in the playoffs.
He beat the following teams : KC, Oak, NYJ, Min, SD, Chi, Mia, Pit (playoffs)
He lost to the following teams : KC, Buf, NE, Det, NE (playoffs)
In TWO games TOTAL, he completed more than 50% of his passes.
If he is "excellent" - why did Denver dump him for a fourth round pick - surely they could have got more? Why did we never play him? And why has one of the worst teams in the NFL, with a glaring need at QB, already gone on record and stated they wouldn't sign him even if he was a free agent?
Tebow lol
How can you possibly "figure out" that when you have a QB who can rush, you have one additional rusher on your team at any point in time, versus a traditional pocket passer?
There's nothing a defense can do to change that. They will always have to account for that. The only way to make it stop is if we go back to old rules and defenses put such a punishment that it proves their careers are short.
Tebow would make a GREAT back up to Wilson/Kaepernick/RG3 because he is serviceable in that system, but he cannot be your opening day starter.
Rex's refusal to start Tebow for even 1 game was either the height of stubbornness or poor judgment, unless he was saving the secret weapon for this year LOL.
Last edited by JaxSuzy; 01-13-2013 at 06:27 PM.
Am I saying he should have started week 1? No. But by week 9 he should have been given a shot b/c Sanchez solidly established himself as the worst QB in the league by then.
Yet people like you stay mad at the backup who never went in.
And what was the Jets story this year? Losing lots of game precisely from substandard play at the QB position. We likely would have salvaged a more formidable run at the playoffs with that QB switch to a Tebow - Sanchez's turnovers were the culprit in damn near every loss. We had more than enough D.
You guys are like a bunch of rainmen - just the thought of taking out Sanchez and putting in Tebow for a game in a futile season makes y'all flip the f*ck out like someone switching the channel away from Judge Wapner at snack time.

A budget pinch could force the closure of several VA Medical Centers, like the one in Lake City. If that hospital does make the closure list, it'll mean big changes for vets in 19 counties.
Concerned veterans met Monday morning at the American Legion post in Valdosta to discuss the VA's possible plan to reduce services at the medical clinic in Lake City.
The reduction will eliminate medical beds, the ER, any type of surgeries, the nursing home and much more. The closest facility to provide all that would be in Gainesville, Florida and for some veterans that's too far of a drive.
The proposed changes stem from funding issues, but the vets feel they are entitled to proper medical care for serving their country.
A meeting is scheduled at the lake city VA Medical Clinic Thursday at 8:30 a.m. to discuss the reductions. Since it is not open to the public, local veterans will be demonstrating outside to show their support to maintain the current level of services.

Competition KickoffThe march-in kicks off an incredible week of competitions that will showcase the transformative power of sport for people with intellectual disabilities. The inaugural Special Olympics 2013 Asia Pacific Games is a flagship event of Special Olympics. The Opening Ceremony heralded the start of the inaugural Special Olympics Asia Pacific Games which is being staged in Newcastle until 7 December. The athletes will compete in nine sports across seven venues in the Newcastle-Hunter region with competition starting on Monday in athletics, basketball, bocce, badminton, cricket, football, table tennis, ten pin bowling and swimming. Special Olympics International CEO Janet Froetscher sent a message of support to the athletes that was shared at the opening ceremony: "Athletes, it is your time to shine! Every day around the world we create opportunities of acceptance and inclusion through our sports, health, education and community building programs. We strive to build communities full of joy and wellness, instilling in young people the benefits of playing unified – uniting athletes with and without intellectual disabilities as teammates. Today and throughout these Games, enjoy the moments of accomplishment, the moments of sheer play, but also consider how everyone can create opportunities of accomplishment every day for our athletes."Inclusive and UnifiedApart from celebrating Special Olympics athletes in front of a 26,450 strong audience, the ceremony was also an ode to the host country's rich history and cultural diversity, from traditional Aboriginal performances, to a stunning visual display of Newcastle surf and beach culture. Echoing the inclusive and unified spirit of Special Olympics, many of the dance and musical performances involved people with and without disabilities from community groups around the Newcastle-Hunter region. The star-studded affair also included Australia's most successful male vocal group, Human Nature, Australian music royalty Marcia Hines, along with other artists Iva Davies, The McClymonts, Silvie Paladino, Doug Parkinson, Darren Percival and Marina Prior. The ceremony reached its climax as the Law Enforcement Torch Run® - which started in Sydney on Tuesday and making its way through the Hunter Valley region to Newcastle - entered the Stadium. New South Wales (NSW) Police Officers and Special Olympics athletes accompanied the Flame of HopeTM onto the field. The Flame® was symbolically delivered by New South Wales Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione to Australian athlete, Geoffrey Kirby, marking the end of its journey with the Law Enforcement Torch Run® and the beginning of the athletes' Games.Media ContactsKaryn Tan firstname.lastname@example.com Manager, Communications & Development Special Olympics, Asia Pacific Region Office firstname.lastname@example.com SG Story for Special Olympics Asia Pacific Valerie Tan email@example.com with Strength, Determination and CourageThe Special Olympics 2013 Asia Pacific Games was declared open by The Governor General of The Commonwealth of Australia, Her Excellency the Honourable Quentin Bryce AC CVO.

Myanmar has waged "a campaign of ethnic cleansing" against Rohingya Muslims, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said yesterday, citing evidence of mass graves and forced displacement of thousands.
The Rohingya, who are denied citizenship by Myanamar, have faced crimes against humanity including murder, persecution, deportation and forced transfer, the New York-based rights watchdog said.
Burmese officials, community leaders and Buddhist monks organized and encouraged mobs — backed by state security forces — to conduct coordinated attacks on Muslim villages in October last year in Rakhine State, HRW said.
"While the state security forces in some instances intervened to prevent violence and protect fleeing Muslims, more frequently they stood aside during attacks or directly supported the assailants, committing killings and other abuses," the report said of the unrest.
"The Burmese government engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Rohingya that continues today through the denial of aid and restrictions on movement," HRW deputy Asia director Phil Robertson said.
The report was released on the same day that the EU was expected to lift all remaining sanctions against Myanmar, except an arms embargo, in a move Robertson said was "premature and unfortunate" and would diminish the EU's leverage with the country.
The situation in Rakhine "if allowed to fester will ultimately threaten the larger effort towards reforms," Robertson told reporters in Bangkok, Thailand.
Burmese presidential spokesman Ye Htut accused the group of timing its report to coincide with the EU sanctions decision.
"The [Burmese] government will not pay attention to such a one-sided report," he said on Facebook.
He said that the authorities would instead await the findings of an official commission set up to investigate the violence, whose release has been delayed several times.
HRW said that while "ethnic cleansing" was not a formal legal term, it was generally defined as a policy by one ethnic or religious group to expel another group from an area using violence and terror.
In Rakhine, more than 125,000 Rohingya and other Muslims have been forcibly displaced, denied access to humanitarian aid and are unable to return home, the group said.
Burmese government data cited by HRW show that 211 people died in two outbreaks of Buddhist-Muslim violence in Rakhine since June 2012, but the group said it believed the real figure was much higher.
In a report based on more than 100 interviews, it said that it had uncovered evidence of four mass graves in Rakhine.
In one episode in June last year, a government truck dumped 18 naked and half-clothed bodies near a camp for displaced Rohingya, describing it as an attempt to scare them into leaving, the group said.
In another incident, more than 70 Rohingya, among them 28 children and infants, were hacked to death in Mrauk-U Township's Yan Thei Village in October last year after police and soldiers disarmed them and failed to protect them from a mob.
Myanmar views its population of roughly 800,000 Rohingya as illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. Thousands have fled Myanmar since June on rickety boats, mostly believed to be heading for Malaysia after Bangladesh refused them entry.
Other Muslims were also targeted in violence last month in central Myanmar, where at least 43 people were killed.

While there are plenty of basket-case British roadster projects to be found, along with stratospherically priced and immaculately restored examples, turnkey drivers in the "just right" category between these extremes can be more challenging to find. This 1959 Triumph TR3 for sale on Hemmings.com, however, has already been restored and the seller states that it's been stored in a heated garage since. It appears to be in very good overall condition, with many of the car's potential problem areas already sorted, and it's been driven on a regular basis. For about what you'd spend on a used Toyota Camry, this TR3 promises to deliver years of fair-weather fun and British charm. From the seller's description:
New hydraulics, brake lines, fuel lines, fuel pump, water pump, front end, shocks, carburetor rebuild, 60-spoke Dayton wire wheels and tires. New leather interior, and paint. Heated storage always since restoration. Great driving car and driven often. Won many awards!
Find more Triumphs for sale on Hemmings.com.
While you are accurate about the "price of a used Camry" you might want to qualify that statement with an extra word "HARDLY".
I always loved the TR3. Those of us old enough can remember seeing these cars every day and wondering if the drivers and passengers always remember not to hang their arms out and let them drag the pavement, especially at highway speeds!
One of my middle school gym coaches drove one of these to school every day. White with a white top, steel wheels and hubcaps. That was almost 30 years ago. No clue what happened to the car or him.
I totally agree. Years ago, when I got my old TR2 into running condition I was treated to the raw power and rough ride of a paleolithic beast – what fun! The type of fun you just won't get in a more modern car.
If you keep maintenance up, and the rubber bits fresh [and upgrade parts when you can, listening to the mechanics, not the concours crowd] there's no reason why this little car can't provide mega-hours of fun, whether it's going to the store or road-trippin'.
A DRIVER CAPABLE OF DOING HIS/HER OWN MAINTENANCE WOULD ONLY REGRET NOT BUYING ONE SOONER. Here's your chance.
My best friend's mom drove one in the 1970's (she was considerably cooler than my mom) and I used to love being taken home in the TR-3, the road going by my elbow.
Nice car, good price.
I learned how to drive in a '59 TR-3. Dad's was powder blue. It was a blast to drive!
While it takes a special person to love a British Car, I certainly could love this one. This might be a better alternative for the beastly pickup truck project I have in mind. It would be easier to sell the Wife on this one. She would love to ride in this. There is a lot of bang for the buck here.
As a TR3 owner since 1969, I can report with some authority that women really like to look at them — but they don't much care for the ride. It's a barbarian machine. NOT that I think that's a bad thing — but the chicks don't dig it.
I'm married to a chick that digs it!
Monday morning rant! This car seems to be great and although I haven't owned a British car, this will make some one very happy. Although this car may be priced fairly, I am showing my age and consequent grumpiness when I see so many good cars in the sidebars and elsewhere at the prices that people are expecting to get for them. The highly touted auctions and their insane prices for the top cars are not helping my grumpiness as those prices create an expectation for mere mortals to ask a lot for their cars. Of course, my benchmark prices may be off (way off!) but that's the way it is! $50 for a baby blue '54 Pontiac Bonneville convertible anyone?! In 1965, of course.
I am in the market for a car that will keep me happy for a while but it is increasingly evident to me that I may have to opt out of the hobby due to costs. It'll be cheaper to just read some Hemmings' magazines!!!!
I've seen a vintage photo of Walter Cronkite standing next to his TR. I'm pretty sure it was a 3, or late 2. I remember it had wide whites on it and actually looked pretty good! I hope there are always vintage British sportscars around!
Beauty! What a great addition to the collection (dang, I've got to get me a collection one of these days) this would be parked next to the '59 Cadillac. This color combo is right on, in my opinion. Very, very nice car at a great "reasonable" (for 2013) price. At 6′-5″ tall, would I even fit into one of these?
" At 6′-5″ tall, would I even fit into one of these?"
Yes. Even with the top up.
Even though I'm not fond of the color combo (British Racing Green, or maybe red, with tan upholstery would be my choice), this is a nice car at what seems a pretty good price. I hope it will get driven regularly by the new owner.
Like First-Gen Rivieras, this is one of my "list" cars that seems to have outgrown me pricewise. Great car, one I've loved since watching an old black and white school film that featured one when I was in 8th grade (when the film was already 30ish years old). I had to go home and do a little digging to find out that the featured car was a TR3.
Hey the only difference between the Camry and the TR-3…British iron seldom runs, while the Toyota can't be stopped…LOL.
How many Camrys do you think will still be around – let alone running in 55 years?
Drove a "basket case" '59 TR3 all through college and law school – it taught me auto mechanics – kept the car for seven years. It probably had 300k miles on it when I got it. Over the years I rebuilt the engine, built one transmission out of the parts of two, rebuilt the front suspension and painted the car. Bought it for $400 and sold it for $5,000.
Moses is right, chicks love the car until they ride in it – zero wind protection. It'll tie your hair in knots that you'll never get out. Nothing refined about it – it's all vibration and sharp edges, but that little tractor engine will go on forever.
Many nice looking MG – B's in Hemmings, starting at $5500. If someone is looking for more "entry level".
I had a 1958 TR-3 A when I was in college.
I loved that car… it was sky blue with light grey leather seats. It had green fold-down plastic sun visors, mirrors on both fenders and the chrome luggage rack.
I once burned the fingertips of my left hand (not badly) leaning my arm out the door…it was so close to the ground!
It used to rust on the vertical seams below the tail lights and I kept fixing it.
I lent it to my college girlfriend Reena to drive one day and she rode around in it all day with the top down.
When she returned it (undamaged) at the end of the day, she told me how much she loved it
(and me for letting her use it!)
She said she was going to give me a special thank- you for such a great car and a great day(and she did…WHOA!)
It was stolen one winter day when I was living on E.61 St. in NYC. I had found a (rare) parking spot outside and went upstairs to my apt.-when I came down it was gone.
I was heartbroken! Really…I loved the car.
It never let me down except once when the battery was low and then I used the crank to start it. It started right up!
I was told to use my foot on the crank to avoid a broken arm if it kicked back and I did that.
A few days later I got a call from Reena who was on a crosstown bus on her way to go ice skating in Central Park. She said she saw it in a snowbank on 59th St. (What are the odds??)
I called the cops and asked them what to do (I had reported it stolen) and they said to go and see if it was my car but don't drive it if it was…call them.
Well, I went and amazingly it was her,,,undamaged (with some empty beer bottles on the back seat). The cops came and checked it out and I guess radioed it in to take it off the stolen car list..
I couldn't see how they stole it, as the ignition wasn't damaged.
One of the cops showed me… under the dash, the bolts on either end of the back of the lock
were sticking out and you could bridge the contacts with anything metal!
There was a metal ladies "barrette" on the floor that I had thought was Reena's but it wasn't.
The cop showed me how it clipped across the bolts and made a fine "key". She started right up using it!
I was so happy to get her back and I kept her for several years after that.
And Reena, too!
I still miss them both!
Ok I am biased BUT … I have a small collection of 2 seat coupes and roadster drivers(Triumphs – TR3, TR6, BMW, MGA, Mercedes, etc.) and honestly my 1960 TR3A is really my favorite. I call it my "poor mans XKE". It is black with a dark red interior. A real head turner.
IMO price wise it is a litttle high; it should be closer to $19,000 – 20,000 for a good quality driver. I also do prefer the steel wheels over the wires on the TR3. Cleaning the wires is a real chore.
You had better plan on driving in the right lane. Even mine with a upgraded cam, webers, rack and pinion steering, electronic ignition; modern highway speeds in the left lane are out of the question. No one mentioned side curtains. They are really a acquired taste item. You have two choices — being wet or being wet if it rains. It takes the entire trunk to store them so a luggage rack like the one on this car is a must. Oh then there is the tranny.
A couple of you mentioned the ride and I concur trips over 2 hours are a killer BUT I would never sell this car even though I get to drive it by myself most of the time. It really is a throw back to the days of what British sports cars were all about. I am old enough to remember when this car was state of the art. Maybe that is why I love it.
Lat week my son called and asked if he could borrow THE car. My son and his wife are taking it this Saturaday for a afternoon leisure drive and lunch date. This will be their first experience in the TR3. He is 40 and finally mature enough to drive Dad's favorite. I hope.
I have a 54 TR2 (rhd) that's needs a total restoration. It was originally exported to Singapore. The car is in Lancaster,OH I hope, which is close to where this car is. I dropped it of about 8 years ago for someone to do just the sheetmetal work on it. I told him to take his time, that was a mistake. I'll have to call him this week because I want the car back. I've always liked Triumphs, I've owned a TR4,6 and an 8, all fun cars. Hopefully I'll get this one back soon!
Had Blk TR3.in1960's. Don't remember year. Loved it,but had trouble starting in winter. Someone had put 30wt. oil in SU carbs. Slow to respond. Still ran though. I was young then, didn't know anything about cars, but that little TR-3 opened my eyes. Been car buff ever since. Really miss her. Want another one, road worthy,nothing to spend a lot of time working on. 75yrs old now,had a stroke, but still want one. Open to suggestions.
I have your car. A black exterior with red interior.
My suggestion is to do two things. Contact your local Triumph club, go to a meeting and meet some TR3 owners. Perhaps their will be one for sale locally or you can get a test drive to see if it still fits.
Second, go to Hemings on line and take a look at the aids for price range and quality.
Hope this helps.

Race website is the same as last year: www.ncnr.org/nrt50k.html
The New River Trail 50k will continue to be a fast, flat, fair course all within the New River Trail State Park. Confirmed sponsors include: VA State Parks(Dept of Conservation and Recreation), Montrail, Nathan Products, Mud Mama Pottery, Patagonia, and Flowers Bakery. The event will be sanctioned by USATF. Additional sponsors will be announced as they confirm.
I like UltraSignUp.com as an alternative to active for this race because:
- Fees are lower to registrants
- We can get registration fees electronicly instead of snail mail (keeping more to our green mission)
- runners can see who else is running right away instead of having to wait weeks for us to be able to update the race website
- After runners register, you can "check out" your "competition" or "companions" depending on how you approach it!
Please pass this information to your running friends-or curious friends who might want to help out-as alway these races can not be done without the generosity of our volunteers!
I am honored to be planning for another fun day running along and in support of The New River!

A foreign Language is anything other than english. I personally speak some spanish. I understand a whole lot more than I can speak. Ironic yes but true! If you speak a lot not all of one just do yes. :) oh and post what language it is!

Ensidia have claimed World First on the Death God. Given the non-linear progression into Ulduar, a lot of other guilds were able to pull off world firsts on other bosses. It also seems that Ensidia was focusing on clearing Ulduar in normal mode, as none of their kills were done on hard mode. This means we're unlikely to see Algalon downed this week (not by Ensidia, anyway).
While it came as no surprise that someone killed him, what surprised me was that it was Ensidia. I was betting on Vodka (can I get a 'for the Alliance!' from anyone?) and that they managed to do it while many of the EU realms were having stability issues. Of course, it should be noted that Ensidia was the same guild that cleared all Wrath content three days after its release (they hadn't decided on a name yet).
Boubouille over at MMO Champion has a full raid list and info on some of the loot that dropped, including a rather nice cloak and a piece of that legendary healer mace.

Penguin Plunge Draws Huge Crowd!
NEWPORT, VT - This year's Penguin Plunge was a huge success. An estimated 175 participants brought in about $26,000 to benefit the Vermont Special Olympics.The water was freezing, the air was worse, yet these brave souls risked it all for the cause.Among those participating was a team from North Country Hospital who dived in with white lab coats on. The Lake Region Team, which had been practicing for the event, danced slowly into the water to the beat of loud music played from the Newport Gateway building.Onlookers wrapped in warm coats, mittens and hats, cheered their teams.

A man and a woman died in a three-alarm house fire in southwest suburban La Grange early this morning, officials said.
The village's Fire Department received several 911 calls just after 1:30 a.m. about a fire at a house in the 900 block of South Kensington Avenue, Fire Chief William J. Bryzgalski said.
A man in his 90s and a woman whose age has not been released were taken from the home to Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital, officials said. The man was pronounced dead at 3:32 a.m., and the woman - whom Bryzgalski described as elderly -- was pronounced dead at 5:18 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Bryzgalski said he wasn't sure of the relationship between the victims. The Fire Department is withholding their names until their relatives are notified of the deaths, he said.
The cause of the fire has not been determined, Bryzgalski said. The state fire marshal's office is assisting in the investigation, the chief said.
This afternoon, yellow caution tape surrounded the corner lot where the red-brick house is located. Plywood boards replaced the windows.
Tony Kernagis, who lives next door to the house that burned, said he and his wife were awakened by a police officer banging on their front door. The officer told them that they and their children had two minutes to get out, because firefighters feared the flames could spread to their house, Kernagis said.
Kernagis said his wife took their 10-year-old son and 8-year-old twin girls to a friend's house while he stayed on the street to keep an eye on their house and help alert other neighbors.
Kernagis said he feared the worst as soon as he went outside and saw flames shooting through the roof and windows of his neighbors' home.
"With the amount of smoke that I could see from the outside, I didn't have a good feeling about it," he said.
Kernagis, 43, said he and the man who died in the fire chatted whenever they saw each other, although he said the victims seemed to spend a lot of time at another home outside Illinois.
Kernagis said his neighbor was a friendly man who let neighborhood children play on his lawn and had lived in the home for decades.
"We saw them quite often," Kernagis said. "I would help him take out the garbage or shovel the walk. We would say hello."
Kernagis said his home sustained minor smoke damage inside, as well as some damage to its siding and roof. He commended firefighters for preventing the fire from doing more damage to his home.
"We're going to be OK, comparatively," he said. "All in all, we lucked out."
Another neighbor, Ralph Fornari, 60, said his wife was headed to bed shortly before 2 a.m. when she saw the light from the flames through the window. She immediately dialed 911, Fornari said, and the couple began alerting neighbors.
Fornari said the man was World War II veteran and a "great guy."
"No one would say an unkind word about him," Fornari said. "(He and the woman) were very kind and kept to themselves."
Fornari said the couple had recently returned from a trip to Florida.
Neighbor Peter Hill said he thought the man had lived in the home for nearly 40 years.

Statistically the best group of Rams in program history, Colorado State was knocked out by the best team in the country, as No. 1 overall seed Louisville pressured and blitzed its way into the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 with an 82-56 victory.
Coach Rick Pitino's full-court pressure defense was in high gear, scoring 24 points off 20 CSU turnovers, repeatedly firing up a very pro-Louisville crowd. To make matters worse for the Rams, the Cardinals (31-5) were pretty good offensively, too. They dominated the paint, 42-12, and shot 12percent above their season average (56.4) as guard Russ Smith led the charge with a game-best 27 points.
"I just describe it as total chaos," CSU senior forward Greg Smith said of the Cardinals notorious pressure that caused the Rams to turn it over nearly twice their season average (10.9). "Some of those guys are just so fast. You may think that you have an open lane ... (But) they close it down so quick."
Eighth-seeded CSU (26-9) came out playing well offensively and made six of its first nine shots -- including two 3-pointers by Dorian Green -- to lead by two on a couple occasions in the first 8 minutes. Then came four straight turnovers midway through the first half that changed everything.
The consecutive giveaways were the start of a 9-minute stretch in which the Cardinals outscored CSU, 29-10, giving U of L a 43-26 lead with 3 minutes to go in the half. Russ Smith capped the stretch with his fourth 3 of the half, leading to a 45-31 Cardinals' lead at the break.
The Rams were never able to get it closer than 13 after halftime, as the Louisville opened the second half on a 12-3 run to blow it open.
"They need a little luck like everybody does to win it all, but that's as impressive a team as I've been against, certainly," first-year CSU coach Larry Eustachy said. "I can't say enough about Coach Pitino and how he gets his guys to play for 40 minutes -- as impressive as I've ever seen."
Greg Smith led the Rams with 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting, while Daniel Bejarano added 10 off the bench. Colton Iverson was held in check for much of the contest by Gorgui Dieng, who limited CSU's all-conference center to just five shot attempts and nine points. Green ended up missing his next 11 attempts after making the two early 3s to finish with six points, while backcourt mate Wes Eikmeier added nine.
It was Louisville's 12th straight win, and all but one have been by double digits, advancing the Cardinals to Indianapolis to face No. 12 Oregon in the Midwest Regional semifinals.
"I think one of the reasons we played one of our best games of the season was how much respect and focus we had for Colorado State," Pitino said. "This was the toughest second round opponent that I've ever coached (against).
"We probably couldn't play any better."
Meanwhile, the loss wraps up CSU's most successful season in program history at 26-9, three more victories than any other team in the school's books. Their winning percentage (.743) ranks third-best ever, behind the 1962-63 team (18-5, .782) and 1953-54 squad (22-7, .759).
Smith, Green and Pierce Hornung (two points, one rebound) cap their careers with 81 wins, tied for the most in program history over a four-year stretch.
Back when the trio signed with the program out of high school during and after the 2008-09 season, CSU was coming off a 7-25 (0-16 in conference) campaign in 07-08. With the addition of Eikmeier in year 2 and Iverson this season, the five seniors accomplished their goal of putting the program on the map. They led the team to the postseason in each of the past four seasons, including the school's second-ever back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.

Bernstein Liebhard LLP Announces That A Securities Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against Envivio, Inc.
By: PR Newswire
Nov. 13, 2012 05:27 PM
NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP today announced that a securities class action lawsuit has been commenced in the Superior Court of California on behalf of a class (the "Class") of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Envivio, Inc. ("Envivio" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ENVI) common stock pursuant to or traceable to the Company's April 12, 2012 Registration Statement and Prospectus (the "Prospectus") filed in connection with the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"). Plaintiffs allege that Defendants, including the underwriters on the IPO, violated the Securities Act of 1933.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120202/MM47134LOGO )
Plaintiffs allege that Defendants failed to disclose the following in the Prospectus: Envivio's largest customers did not view Envivio's services as a spending priority and, thus, were not increasing their demand for Envivio products due to budgetary constraints; Envivio was experiencing a severe lengthening of its sales cycle for closing new business; Envivio was having difficulty maintaining a competitive advantage and was losing business to rival Harmonic Inc.'s video processing technologies; and Envivio's past revenue results were not indicative of future operations because the Company was not growing as fast as represented, particularly in North America and Western Europe.
The truth about Envivio first began to be disclosed on August 13, 2012. On that date, Envivio stock fell 56% after Defendants disclosed that the Company's preliminary second quarter revenues were substantially below prior projections. On September 6, 2012, Envivio definitively announced poor second quarter results and disappointing guidance. Envivio stock fell another 20%, falling to just $2.15 per share on September 7, 2012 – a 76% decline from the Company's $9 IPO price.
If you are interested in discussing your rights as an Envivio shareholder and/or have information relating to the matter, please contact Joseph R. Seidman, Jr. at (877) 779-1414 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bernstein Liebhard LLP has pursued hundreds of securities, consumer and shareholder rights cases and recovered over $3 billion for its clients. It has been named to The National Law Journal's "Plaintiffs' Hot List" in each of the last ten years.
You can obtain a copy of the complaint from the clerk of the court for the Superior Court of California, San Mateo County.

... none but His loved ones know
For [unbelievers] Jesus Christ was only a man who was born and laid in a manger, lived, ate, and drank like other men, and worked as a carpenter. Then He was crucified in utter weakness upon a cross. "There are the facts," they say, "and am I asked to believe that that is the Son of God? It is impossible...."
They are thinking only on the rational level.... That is rational thinking. You talk to them about the doctrine of the rebirth, and they say, "Of course things like that don't happen; there is no such thing as a miracle...; once you talk about miracles, you are violating the laws of nature." As Matthew Arnold said, "Miracles cannot happen; therefore miracles have not happened." That is rational thinking.
...Before a man can become a Christian, he has to cease to think like that. He has to have a new type of thinking; he has to begin to think spiritually...; when we become Christian ... we find that we are thinking in a different way. We are on a different level... ; miracles are no longer a problem, the rebirth is no longer a problem, the doctrine of the atonement is no longer a problem. We have a new understanding; we are thinking spiritually.
Our Lord was visited by Nicodemus, who ... said, "Master, I have watched your miracles; you must be a Teacher sent from God, for no man can do the things you do except God be with him." And he was clearly on the point of adding, "Tell me how you do it...." But our Lord looked at him and ... what He was saying to Nicodemus was really this, "Nicodemus, if you think that you can understand this thing before it has happened to you, you are making a real mistake. You will never become a Christian in that way...; you are trying to understand spiritual things with your natural understanding. But you cannot. Though you are a master of Israel, you must be born again...; you have to realize the nature of this new type of thinking which is spiritual."
