BOULDER, CO - July 24, 2006
Webroot Spy Sweeper, the industry's leading anti–spyware protection software created and distributed by Webroot Software Inc., has been awarded its sixth PC Magazine's Editors' Choice Award for its version 5.0. The esteemed award was announced after the magazine performed a first look review on the recently launched product.
PC Magazine paid tribute to Spy Sweeper 5.0 for its superior ability to detect and remove spyware, in addition to praising the product for its easy-to-use interface. Spy Sweeper 5.0 combines significantly advanced proactive protection against the most damaging types of spyware – including system monitors, keyloggers and rootkits – with a redesigned user interface that allows consumers to easily install Spy Sweeper and then quickly "set it and forget it."
"The new face of Spy Sweeper is definitely attractive, and it remains a powerful tool for removing entrenched spyware and keeping new spyware off your system. This, combined with its updated, improved interface, makes Spy Sweeper 5 an antispyware Editors' Choice," said Neil Rubenking, lead analyst of PC Magazine.
Led by a greatly enhanced version of Spy Sweeper's Spy Installation Shield, Webroot's Smart Shields lineup also includes a new behavior-based Keylogger Shield, the most advanced shield ever included in an anti-spyware program. Webroot's Keylogger Shield uses patent-pending technology to accurately identify and block all types of keyloggers with an extremely low degree of false positives. Spy Sweeper 5.0 rounds out its offering with improved behavioral-based identification and removal technologies to even more effectively detect and remove spyware that attempts to hide using randomization techniques or rootkit technology.
"With the release of Spy Sweeper 5.0, Webroot reset the standard for anti-spyware protection by incorporating proactive protection technology into a clear, easy-to-use software program. We are extremely pleased and honored that this type of dedication to innovation and excellence is continually recognized by top technology influencers like PC Magazine," said David Moll, CEO of Webroot. "We applaud PC Magazine for its own dedication to consumer spyware education and for naming Spy Sweeper one of the top anti–spyware programs available to consumers."
Webroot has also received great acclaim for its corporate anti-spyware counterpart: Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise, which enables administrators to centrally manage security threats across enterprises of any size. In the last month, Webroot announced the company's next major enterprise anti-spyware product release with the introduction of Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0.
The PC Magazine's Editors' Choice Award is given to the product(s) and/or service(s) that stand out from others in their category.

The new prescription for Femera is pinned to my fridge with a magnet. I've put it there so I won't forget about filling it at the end of the month and guess what? It's the end of the month. I had such a bad experience with Arimidex that you can hardly blame me for not being more enthusiastic about starting this new one. I didn't mind tamoxifen at all, but my doctor decided that I am done with it. Studies show that there is no increase in benefit from taking tamoxifen for more than five years. Now my oncologist insists that following with five years of Femera will provide the greatest risk reduction for cancer returning.
I always said that if it came down to it that I would choose to take medication rather than have cancer. I guess it helps to have a bottom line, but it doesn't relieve the trepidation I feel about starting a new medication. I know women who have not had any adverse reaction to Femera, so I am counting on it not being a problem for me. In fact I tend to enter every new situation with optimism, but that doesn't mean I don't ever give up when the going gets tough. I am always quick to congratulate myself on doing the best that I can. So, eventually I will take the prescription and get it filled. I might even take the pills.

The gridlock in Washington, D.C., continues, says Ryan Donovan, CUNA's senior vice president, legislative affairs. But that doesn't mean CUNA will stop promoting credit union-friendly legislation.
"We have to find ways to maneuver through this," Donovan told attendees of CUNA's Community Credit Union & Growth Conference in Denver.
How? According to Donovan, it's with "boots on the ground." During this time of gridlock—a period when the Senate Banking Committee has reported out only four bills in the past 18 months—CUNA has met with hundreds of Capitol Hill staff and legislators.
As a result, Congress seeks CUNA's voice at hearings on a wide range of issues. "If you're not at the table, you're on the menu," Donovan says.
Preserving credit unions' tax-exempt status is among CUNA's top legislative accomplishments, Donovan says. "But that remains under threat in the foreseeable future."
He also noted CUNA's success in increasing the interchange fee cap from 12 cents in the proposed rule to 21 cents in the final rule, and raising the Federal Reserve's awareness of how small issuers are treated as the interchange law unfolds.
Donovan described a "crisis of creeping complexity," in which credit unions' regulatory burden is ever-increasing. And he still expects a lame-duck vote to increase credit unions' member business lending [MBL] cap.
CUNA is preparing for a significant grassroots push on MBL, including a national Hike the Hill event at the end of November.
Reducing credit unions' regulatory burden is the No. 1 priority of CUNA's regulatory advocacy team, says Mary Dunn, CUNA's senior vice president, regulatory advocacy, and deputy general counsel.
So far, CUNA has filed 75 comment letters to federal agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and NCUA—a record pace—in addition to daily contact and face-to-face meetings with these agencies.
Dunn advised attendees to visit CUNA's website to stay on top of regulatory developments.

The lifespan of a fraudster is short, but prolific. After a sharp and unexplained drop in identity thefts in 2010, fraud schemes climbed 12.6% in 2011, according to Javelin Strategy & Research.
The cost adds up: The mean cost for new-account fraud is $3,197, Javelin reports.
In addition, if someone succeeds in opening up an account, it typically takes only seven days to wreak millions of dollars of damage across a wide network of unsuspecting customers.
Yet it takes institutions 151 days, on average, to detect a fraud occurrence.
This means that by the time account holders realize they've been cleaned out and their financial institutions are calling their customers about irregular account activity or when credit card companies send out notification letters, fraudsters have already vanished into thin air. But they'll most assuredly be back.
Where's the disconnect? Why is our industry—on the whole—so slow to react?
Some credit unions simply contend that they have the strongest defense against fraud at origination, so they don't see the need to check again after the accounts are opened.
Further, a certain amount of fraud is bound to get through because the cost of ferreting out all of it would prove prohibitive.
With so many accounts being hacked within the first seven days of a fraudster's scheme, no financial institution or person is immune—even with the best systems in place.
Fortunately, technology advances in this field have delivered new weapons to flag suspicious consumer data patterns early in an account's history—a huge milestone. Old tactics are simply insufficient to uncover criminal activity at its current level.
One fraudster, geometric damage
The following graphs assess the fraudster process at day zero and then again at day seven. For the latter, note how the volume of fraud can grow geometrically if risk managers aren't proactive.
As the charts suggest, we have found that accounts that may have looked good when opened may have turned high-risk because of activity picked up by the latest technology—activity that homes in on how data is used across numerous transactions.
Experian's Precise ID for Customer Management takes advantage of data previously unavailable to identify and prevent current account fraud during the first 30 days of an account being opened, seeing more than two million transactions per day.
By shifting strategies and monitoring newly opened accounts, we have found significant lift for fraud captures among our customers due to the use of cutting-edge technology.
Here are four tips to help credit unions stop or prevent fraud:
1. Be aware that most fraudsters bulldoze their way through accounts and disappear within 15 days, yet it takes an average of 151 days to identify these incidents.
2. Be vigilant to warn your members about fraudsters and identity thieves.
3. Ask your members to pinpoint questionable behavior, such as new account openings without a birth date but with the same name and social security number.
4. Re-check accounts after they have been opened, which can identify suspicious activity allows for a significant lift in fraud captures.
Last year, victims of a data breaches were 9.5 times more likely to be victims of identity fraud. Consumers who received a data breach notification had a fraud incidence rate of 19%, while consumers who didn't receive such a notification had a rate of 2%.
Also, with a shocking 67% jump in data breach victims in 2011, the increase correlates directly with the rise in identity fraud victims.
This rise in identity crime comes as lenders continue to look for ways to improve their profit margins on their credit holdings.
It also underscores the need for more advanced tools to help credit unions detect and nab fraud perpetrators who steal billions of dollars—both from the institutions and their innocent members.

We spent Thanksgiving in MO… which of course means BABY TIME!! With the trip to Scotland and "The Pilgrimage" to Minnesota & Wisconsin, I hadn't seen them in TEN weeks. Oh my, I was having bad withdrawals! That is the longest I've gone without seeing them… I'm usually up there every month.
It was a beautiful day, so we took them out to my parents' front yard for a photo shoot.
Little Bird is still the baby roadrunner. That leaf she is carrying was a 'gift' to put in my hair. LOL
I'm not sure what Little Hoss found so interesting but he was certainly studying something!
And then 'Bird' decided the front porch needed some decorating. She quite purposefully marched up and set to work.
You can run… but you can't hide!
Sissy has plans to make the porch beautiful and there is nothing you can do about it!
With much effort Little Bird dragged the flowers until they were arranged to her satisfaction!
Poor Little Hoss was a bit dazed by the all the fuss. They had looked fine to him the way they were!
But he pitched in to help… after all; there was dirt to play in!
But a dude can only handle so much flower arranging before he tries to beat feet back inside to watch the game with Dad and Grandpa!

Crompton Lamps LED 22W 4ft T8 Tube 6500K Daylight 865
This 4ft LED replacement tube from Crompton Lamps has been designed throughout to provide a safe, bright alternative to a standard 36W fluorescent T8 tube that is both easier to install and more energy efficient.View full description

Product Description
Crompton 4ft 22W LED T8 Tube (Daylight)
This retrofit 4ft T8 LED tube from Crompton lamps replaces the mercury and other hazardous materials found in fluorescent tubes with modern LED components, making it a much safer, more reliable and more efficient alternative.
The tube's linear circuit board is adorned with a series of SMD LED chips that sit within a protective, cylindrical glass shell. This use of glass - rather than plastic - prevents the tube from bending, warping or discolouring over time. Each tube carries a 2-year LightBulbs Direct warranty as standard, alongside a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
Where a traditional fluorescent tube would use approximately 36W to produce 2150 lumens, these modern LED tubes use just 22W. This, coupled with the bulb's vastly superior nominal lifetime of 40,000 hours, has the potential to reduce lighting bills by up to 90%. Despite the much-improved performance offered by its LED componentry, it shares the same G13 fitting as the fluorescent tubes it's been designed to replace. This makes upgrading incredibly simple and completely removes the need for rewiring of any sort. Simply remove your power-hungry 36W fluorescent tube, replace it with this 22W LED equivalent and you can begin to benefit from substantially reduced lighting costs almost immediately.
- 2150 lumens
- 40,000 hour rated life
- 15,000 switching cycles
- 6500K daylight
- No warping, no bending
- Replaces 36W fluorescent tube but consumes only 22W of power
- Includes LED starter for direct retrofit*
- G13 cap fitting
- Dimensions: Length = 1212mm, Diameter = 26mm
- Not suitable for dimming
- 5 Year Manufacturers Warranty
Also available in 2ft, 3ft, 5ft and 6ft T8 tubes, as well as cool white and warm white options.
* Includes an LED starter for direct retrofit into existing battens where starters are used. For circuits which have an electronic ballast, Crompton Lamps recommends bypassing the ballast and wiring this lamp directly to the mains for optimum efficiency. We highly recommend that the installation is carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure the best results. For more installation information please see manufacturers website.

Sharon Osbourne turns to kids animation
Sharon Osbourne is transformed into a pirate's mum as she is seen for the first time in her new animated role for a children's show.
The 59-year-old takes a role in the Disney Junior hit series Jake And The Never Land Pirates, playing Captain Hook's exuberant mother Mama Hook.
Her debut as the grey-haired character in an episode called Mama Hook Knows Best will be screened this summer.
Viewers will see her trying to mend her son's ways after finding he has been swiping treasure when she visits Never Land.
Former X Factor judge Osbourne said: "Mama Hook was a pleasure to play and she's quite similar to me in that she's strong and wants her boy to be the best he can be - she doesn't like it when he's causing trouble.
"Also, it's just great to do a job where you don't have to get all made up in the morning; it's all about the voice."

When it rains, it definitively pours here on the Gold Coast. The seventh day of competition ended in the mid afternoon hours today due to the heavy rain, and non-existent wind. Riders and crew gathered at the event site in hopes of a change in the wind and weather forecast.
Despite the gloomy weather today, some riders just chilled while others such as the Flexifoil beauties Bruna Kajiya (Flexifoil, BRA) and Johara Sykes-Davies (Flexifoil, GBR), as well as the North hunks Reno Romeu (North, BRA) and Mario Rodwald (North, GER) and a few others decided to take advantage of the fabulous surfing conditions.
A beach volleyball tournament was held inches away from the event site where heaps of women showed off their powerhouse athletic abilities.
The young beautiful bikini models from the Temple fashion show were also out at the beach today, posing for pictures in the rain with a few of the top named riders such as Andy Yates (Slingshot, AUS) the 2010 PKRA freestyle world tour title champion and Tom Hebert (Airush, NCL) the Gold Coast PKRA freestyle single elimination winner.
The weather forecast for the last day of competition here on the Gold Coast looks very promising. Riders and crew will be eagerly waiting for any brief or sudden breaks in the weather in hopes of getting out on the water to show off some extreme kiteboarding action.
Tomorrow's skippers meeting is scheduled for 10:00am.
The PKRA Gold Coast Kitesurfing Pro 2010 event is sponsored in part by Nissan, Cabrinha, Red Bull, Gold Coast International Hotel, Fakie and The Temple with official partners Queensland Events, Gold Coast City Council, Tourism Queensland, Gold Coast Tourism, Katz Management, Glamorous Life Swimwear, Lovebirds Australia, Mojoz Swimwear with special support by Minotaur Sports Management Party Ltd.

Vintage photos show Denver's first PBS TV studio & programs, 1955
In October 1955, television studio technicians at Channel 6, located in the Emily Griffith Opportunity School, prepared for the first show to be produced for the fledgling TV station. It was a closed-circuit educational show for development and training of the Denver chapter of the National Office Management Association.
In January 1956, KRMA-TV Channel 6 began broadcasting to anyone with a television receiver.
Three of the men responsible for the station's operations were Gerald J. Willsea, director of radio and television for the schools; Henry H. Mamet, manager; and Glenn Annis, who was a cameraman. The first programming was broadcast nightly from 6:45 to 8:45 p.m.
By May 1956, programming included an hour-long show called "Let's Go Fishing," with Colbert Cushing, a former instructor at the University of Denver fishing clinic. The program featured an anglers' mailbag, tips on equipment, fish and road reports.
These wonderful photos show equipment, the early (and basic) studios and the on-air personalities that were all the start of something big for Denver: Public Broadcasting television, with its firm mission of education.
By 1959, special programming for the summer viewers was on the air. Earl Reum hosted a light summer series called "Summertime," which aired each Wednesday.

Full game notes are available in PDF here.
Live stats, Video and Audio are available through the links at the top of this page.
OPENING KICKOFF: Today's non-conference marks the 18h meeting between McDaniel (0-0) and Catholic (0-0) in a series that dates back to 1912. The Green Terror leads the all-time series 12-5 but the Cardinals snapped a mini two-game skid in the series with a 39-36 win in last season's opener. McDaniel won the last meeting two years ago in Washington, D.C., 24-14.
WHEN LAST WE MET: Catholic scored the final 15 points to take a 39-36 victory over McDaniel, capping the action with a 34-yard touchdown and two-point conversion with 1:01 to play in last season's opener. Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) racked up 292 all-purpose yards for the Green Terror, including 159 rushing and a 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Greg Cordivari threw for 459 yards on 31 of 48 passing with three touchdowns to lead the Cardinals, who watched McDaniel score the first 19 points of the second half to erase a 24-17 halftime deficit.
LAST TIME OUT: Then-No. 12 Johns Hopkins rolled up 590 yards of offense to overcome a six-turnover day and defeat McDaniel 28-24 to close out the 2011 season. Sam Cox led the Green Terror on a defense that forced a season-high six turnovers with eight tackles, including his 25th career sack. He also had two forced fumbles and a pass breakup. Hewitt Tomlin completed 35 of 47 passes for 484 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Blue Jays to their first undefeated regular season in program history.
WITH HONORS: McDaniel returns two of its five All-CC players from a year ago. Joe Rollins, a running back, was a unanimous first-team selection while Mike Cousar (Easton, Pa./Easton Area), a linebacker, was named to the second team. Sam Cox and Jake Nichols were first-team honorees while Woody Butler was tabbed to the second team.
LEADING THE WAY: Tyler Lloyd (Broad Run, Va./Fauquier), Tim McLister (Leesburg, Va./Loudoun) and Kevin White (Bryn Mawr, Pa./Haverford Twp.) will captain the squad in 2012. White is a two-time captain while Lloyd and McLister will lead the squad for the first time as seniors.
OPENING STATEMENTS: The Green Terror begins its 118th season of football this evening, entering play with a 62-49-6 record on opening day. This is the second straight season McDaniel has opened the season with Catholic, following a home-and-home series with St. Vincent and 12-year series with Bridgewater. This is the first time since 1948 that the Green Terror has opened a game in our nation's capital and the first-time ever the squad has played a game in the month of August. The 1948 opener was a 21-6 Western Maryland victory over Catholic on Oct. 9.
OPENING STATEMENTS II: Tonight is also the first game for head coach Mike Hoyt. The 24th head coach in Green Terror history, Hoyt coaches for the first time as a college head coach after spending the last eight seasons as the defensive coordinator at Albright. Hoyt also spent time as an assistant at Centennial Conference-rival Franklin & Marshall.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: For the first time since 1992, McDaniel will open the season with a night game. On the 20th anniversary of the Green Terror's 28-0 victory at Albright – Hoyt's last stop before coming to the Hill – the squad will likely renew the tradition of opening the season with a game under the lights. Tonight's game marks the second straight season that McDaniel has played a Friday night game. The Green Terror dropped a 17-16 decision at Dickinson last year. The only other known Friday night game was a Halloween night trip to FDU-Madison in 1986, which resulted in a 14-0 loss. McDaniel is 2-3 in night games.
ISN'T IT STILL SUMMER?: For the first time in the 118-year storied history of Green Terror football, a game will be played before the calendar turns to September. McDaniel had only played five games earlier than last year's Sept. 3 opener but will now open the season in August for the first time ever. The Green Terror twice traveled to Bridgewater for a Sept. 1 game and both resulted in losses (29-20 in 2001 and 45-19 in 2007).
TWICE AS GRAND: Junior RB Joe Rollins enters his junior campaign with 2,024 career yards. He is one of three Centennial Conference (CC) unning backs all-time to rack up 2,000 or more yards in his first two seasons on the gridiron. Gettysburg's Paul Smith (1996-97) and the Green Terror's Eric Frees (1988-89) were the only other two backs to eclipse the two grand mark this early in their careers. Frees (5,281) and Smith (5,205) are the conference's all-time rushing leaders and the only two in conference history to hit 5,000 yards rushing. Rollins, a preseason All-American by Beyond College Sports Network, is already 34th in CC history and fifth in McDaniel program history.
TOP MC-PICK: The Green Terror returns its top two tacklers from a year ago. Tim McLister will quarterback the defense from his safety position after leading the squad with 71 tackles and five interceptions in 2011. McLister will once again have the assistance of Mike Cousar, who had a breakout sophomore season. The outside linebacker finished second on the team with 70 tackles, including 12.0 for loss and three sacks. Kevin White and Nick Chuong (Alexandria, Va./Annaadale) rejoin McLister in the secondary while Zach Martin (Clarksville, Md./River Hill) will line up opposite Cousar at the other outside 'backer position. Steve Wetherhold (Catasauqua, Pa./Catasauqua) and Derrick Miles (Glen Mills, Pa./Bayard Rustin) return to anchor the line.
TERROR TIDBITS: Nick Valori (Treasure Island, Fla./Washington Twp. [N.J.]) threw for 1,638 yards a freshman, completing nearly 55 percent of his passes with 12 TDs… No matter who takes the first punt tonight, it will be his first collegiate boot… Mike Hoyt isn't the only new face on the Green Terror sideline this season. Hoyt retained the majority of the staff but added local product Greg Tellish to coach the tight ends and Earl Hoffman to lead the safeties. Hoyt succeeds 19-year head coach Tim Keating, who finished his career with a record of 110-83-3 and seven CC championship… McDaniel returns 15 starters from 2011.
COACHES' CORNER: Mike Hoyt enters his first season at the helm of the Green Terror. He spent the last eight seasons as the defensive coordinator, culminating with being a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year award in 2011. In his first season at Albright, his defense went from allowing an average of 235.4 yards per game to 175.1 yards per contest, helping to guide Albright to an ECAC South Atlantic championship. His tenure as defensive coordinator was marked specifically by stout run defense, ranking in the top half of the Middle Atlantic Conference in rush defense, total defense and scoring defense in four of his last five seasons. His 2008 defense led the conference and ranked 33rd nationally, allowing just 16.9 points per games and appeared in the ECAC South Central Bowl… Dave Dunn is in his seventh season leading Catholic. In his debut campaign, he guided the Cardinals to a 3-7 record. In 2007, Dunn guided Catholic to its first .500 season since 2000 before putting up a 9-2 record in 2008. With a 27-34 record at Catholic, he has a 27-42 career record after serving as the first coach at Becker College in 2005, going 0-8 with the first-year program prior to his arrival in the nation's capital. He has more than 20 years of coaching experience, including time as an assistant at his alma mater University of San Diego, Indiana State, Harvard and Florida Atlantic.
THE WORD ON CATHOLIC: The Cardinals enter the 2012 season off a 5-5 campaign in 2011… Catholic won all four of its non-conference games, including three straight to open the season. The Cardinals dropped their final two ODAC games of the season by a combined 10 points… Senior Greg Cordivari returns to lead the offense after earning third-team All-ODAC last season. He was also a preseason All-American by BSN a year after completing 321 of his 505 (63.6 percent) passes for 3,282 yards and 25 touchdowns… Mike Pitsenberger joins him in the backfield after a team-best 654 yards as a sophomore... Andrew Ouellette was Cordivari's favorite target with 54 catches for 661 yards and five scores… Pitsenberger also caught 47 balls out of the backfield for 235 yards… Conor Stueckler is back to lead the defense from his linebacker position after pacing Catholic with 95 stops in 2011.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Fact Sheet for Small Businesses and Question and Answer Document Also Released
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today issued Enforcement Guidance on Pregnancy Discrimination and Related Issues, along with a question and answer document about the guidance and a Fact Sheet for Small Businesses. The Enforcement Guidance, Q&A document, and Fact Sheet will be available on the EEOC's website.
This is the first comprehensive update of the Commission's guidance on the subject of discrimination against pregnant workers since the 1983 publication of a Compliance Manual chapter on the subject. This guidance supersedes that document and incorporates significant developments in the law during the past 30 years.
In addition to addressing the requirements of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), the guidance discusses the application of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as amended in 2008, to individuals who have pregnancy-related disabilities.
"Pregnancy is not a justification for excluding women from jobs that they are qualified to perform, and it cannot be a basis for denying employment or treating women less favorably than co-workers similar in their ability or inability to work," said EEOC Chair Jacqueline A. Berrien. "Despite much progress, we continue to see a significant number of charges alleging pregnancy discrimination, and our investigations have revealed the persistence of overt pregnancy discrimination, as well as the emergence of more subtle discriminatory practices. This guidance will aid employers, job seekers, and workers in complying with the Pregnancy Discrimination Act and Americans with Disabilities Act, and thus advance EEOC's Strategic Enforcement Plan priority of addressing the emerging issue of the interaction between these two anti-discrimination statutes."
Much of the analysis in the enforcement guidance is an update of longstanding EEOC policy. The guidance sets out the fundamental PDA requirements that an employer may not discriminate against an employee on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions; and that women affected by pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions must be treated the same as other persons similar in their ability or inability to work. The guidance also explains how the ADA's definition of "disability" might apply to workers with impairments related to pregnancy.
Among other issues, the guidance discusses:
In February, 2012, the Commission held a public meeting to hear from stakeholders about issues related to pregnancy discrimination and discrimination against individuals with caregiving responsibilities. The Commission Meeting record was held open for 15 days following the meeting, to facilitate public comment. The materials from that meeting, including testimony and transcripts, are available at www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/meetings/2-15-12/index.cfm.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

That'll teach me to doubt!
It's been confirmed tonight that Ezio, star of the last three Assassin's Creed games, will be making a guest appearance in upcoming fighter Soulcalibur V.
As far as these wacky guest appearances go, he's...surprisingly tasteful. Appropriate, even, given the series' loose affiliation with world history and things with sharp edges.

LSU unit has components indispensable in laser printers, If has not LSU unit then the printer does not print. In this article, I will introduction to you the function, principle of operation and some error of LSU unit.
I. The function of the LSU (laser scanning unit) block printers
– Create laser emission intensity changes according to the gray level of each pixel (pixel)
– Shoots laser spread over the length of the drum (line by line of image)
LSU unit have structure as follows:
– Receive the signal "Start" from the control circuit.
– Status signals (cover) of switches located on the LSU unit (that may or not).
– Voltage represents gray level of each pixel (real-time) analog format from data circuits.
– The signals notices resolution of printed page from data circuit sent to.
– Power Supply
– Safety Signal(from IC MDA) LSU unit returns control circuit.
– The lasers spread evenly along the length of the drum (line by line of image)
II. Principle of operation of LSU unit
– After have finished processing the data from the PC sent to. The data circuit will notify to the controller board to preparing to create
– Control circuit ordered.
* Transfer data to show gray level of each pixel into optical circuits.
* Allow active optical circuit.
– At that time, IC MDA of optical circuit will be controller motor deflection gleam (with a constant rate, depending of the machine type or print resolution).
– At the same time, IC MDA also amplifier voltage of pixel and taken to diode laser to make active diode and the laser emission. Thus, the intensity of the laser beam is constantly changing (at weak / at strong) depends on the voltage of each pixel.
– You should noticed, internalize of the laser diode have copper circle front of the laser. This is round convergence (convergence of static electricity), the voltage on the ringe will determines for convergence of laser emission from it are large or small. Through adjusting the resolution of the print (dpi – dot per inch)
– The laser light emitted from the laser diode passes through converging lens to shrink (the diameter of the laser beam) will determine great extent / small of pixels. The principle of convergence by static electricity cycle like the principle of convergence in the grid Focus in lights CRT.
– The laser light through the glass filter to ensure remove all interference may distort the frequency of the laser to beam deflection motor.
– Beam deflection motor rotating very high speed (you can hear a slight hissing noise when it starts, its rotational speed also contributes to determine print resolution). The axis of beam deflection motor shaft fitted with 1 piece of square steel (about 10mmx10mmx1mm) white bar. Lasers impact it, with the rotation speed of the steel pieces are very high when it break angle (refraction) of each beam (at one time, each ray representing 1 pixel) make each beam shot in the spectacles refractor.
– Glass refractor is piece of transparent plastic have duty break angle and laser beam to them fired up reflector. The axis of beam deflection motor shaft fitted with 1 piece of square steel (about 10mmx10mmx1mm) white ball. Lasers impact it, with the rotation speed of the steel pieces are very high when it break angle (refraction) of each beam (at one time, each ray representing 1 pixel) make each beam shot in the spectacles refractor.
– Glass refractor is piece of transparent plastic have duty break angle and laser beam to them fired up reflector.
– Mirror is parallel with glass refractor and deflection of angle about 45 degrees, making the task of laser shoot on the OPC drum. The rays go through the empty cavity openings. If you remove the bottom of LSU unit you will see have 1 slit (size about 5mmx200mm).
So: It is possible to draw some comments
– The more laser beam small, the more size of pixels small (and vice versa). This issue is adjusted through change control cycle convergence.
– Laser intensity dependent operating voltage of the laser diode. This is very important, it directly affects the pierced / pale prints.
III. Some error of LSU unit of Xerox wc-6505 printer
1. Xerox wc-6505 printer does not print
Phenomenon: the printer received print commands, data flashing lights, the gears has activity (the gear wheel make noise) about a few seconds and then stop and do not feed the paper. And then report for user: "Scanner error" or "LSU error" …
This error is caused by a feedback signal from the optical IC MDA in LSU unit induced. Normally, when the operation command received from the controller IC MDA will perform three actions:
– Send feedback signal to the controller, good condition reports.
– Power supply for beam deflection motor rotating (you will hear a slight hiss, piece)
– Power supply for laser diode and convergence rings.
Error location: In this case, 99% is due to IC MDA failure, outside circuit of the IC is extremely simple, fewer components and virtually no damage.
FIX: Replace IC MDA, right name.
2. Xerox wc-6505 printer printout light image
With conditions: toner powder has best quality, good OPC drum, good high pressure.
This phenomenon is due to circuit MD (monitor diode) mission control emission intensity of the laser diode leads to poor performance laser intensity is too much degrade static on the drum, causing blurred prints.
FIX: Open the LSU unit cover and then adjust rheostat MD (next to laser diode) about 1/8 of the left circle and print test page. If not met, continue to adjust.
Note: Before adjust, need to put on a little oil of sewing machine on the surface of rheostat for lubrication, avoid coal face in the back side of rheostat cracked or broken.
3. Xerox wc-6505 printer printout black/white spot image
With conditions: toner powder has best quality, good OPC drum, good high pressure.
This phenomenon is due to system and beam deflection of LSU unit caused and The main cause is LSU unit has dirty
FIX: You should clean the LSU system
– Clean the white metal bar (10mmx10mmx1mm) mounted on the beam deflection motor.
– Clean the glass refraction.
– Clean the glass reflectors
If these objects has moldy, dirty then wash with "dishwashing liquid" and a soft brush. Then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Make sure them drying, not washing with chemicals (such as alcohol, acetone …)
4. Xerox wc-6505 printer printout black or dark image
This phenomenon is due to laser rays be lost or laser emission intensity is too weak. Laser printers use to laser rays white (other than CD / DVD use red-laser or blue) so can not check out with the naked eye.
– Adjust Potentiometer MD to checking (to the right), each adjusted about 1/8 of the left circle.
– Check voltage 5V (+), this is static voltage for the diode laser. If it lost, you should checking converse to the head of cable of LSU unit. The line typically have 1 fuse resistance (0.47 Ω) and 1 filter capacitor (several tens of nF, depending on the printer) behind the resistance. Resistance can cut, filter capacitors can short, replace (right values).
– If the voltage is 5V, adjustment rheostat MD, If not be solve, replace the laser diode (this cause have probability occur very low, a few%).
5. Xerox wc-6505 printer printout character, the lines (curved, straight) have blurry two sides.
This phenomenon due to laser rays does not bunched (convergence) or poor convergence, therefore the pixel in the OPC drum has increased size
Change Voltage of the static convergence ring by rheostat on the optical circuit. This usually variable resistor symbol (FC, Vfc) located near dioe laser (farther MD a little ). After each adjustment, test print until reaching definition out loud.

Talking about energy policy yesterday in the middle of a cornfield, because why the hell not, President Bush said something that caught our attention:
"Someday you're going to be able to get in your car, particularly if you're a big-city person, and drive 40 miles on a battery. And by the way, the car doesn't have to look like a golf cart. It could be a pickup truck."
What's striking about this is, ignoring the golf cart variety vehicles and long-crushed GM models, there's the Toyota RAV4-EV and Ford Ranger EV, which had ranges of 116 and 65 miles, respectively, and are still on the road. Sure, he's probably referring to the unreleased Saturn Vue Plug-In Hybrid, but we feel it our responsibility to point out the rare occasions when this administration says something misleading.

The resignation of Eric Shinseki in the growing VA hospital scandal is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg.
While the situation under his watch worsened, it started way before he was in this position. Now heads need to roll, and full accountability needs to be demanded. President Barack Obama and Congress need to really crack down on those who were involved, and our veterans need to have much,much better treatment.
They fought for our country, and their medical care should be without any if's, and's or but's. It is an absolute disgrace that any veteran has to wait months and months for the well-deserved medical care or disability benefits.

wow - that looks seriously amazing.ReplyDelete
i had a mac and cheese failure last week too...
Thanks :)ReplyDelete
The depressing thing about the fail (well not quite fail, more fence-sitting) is that I halved the recipe and put it in two small oven dishes, and only cooked one, so I have one ready to be heated up in my fridge. I don't know if I should give it another try or ditch it..
your blog is going to be THE BLOG i go to when in search of a recipe. great pics! everything looks so appetizing!ReplyDelete
I love Bill Grangers recipes and this one looks like a winner - delicious.ReplyDelete
PS. I like pesto on my pasta, but am partial to the 2twice a year bowl of mac n cheese in the dead of winter :)
taking a toll on YOUR waistline?! now I have to go and try this and I was doing so well...ReplyDelete

This looks delicious and healthy! Just wondering if you drain the soaked oats, or add that milk as well as the 1/4 C?ReplyDelete
Hi there, you will notice when you soak the oats they will absorb pretty much all the milk, so pour it all into the batter :)ReplyDelete

HAVELOCK � St. Peter has a new angel with the muscle to watch over heaven�s gate. Friends and co-workers left flowers, candles and personal remembrances at a doorway Monday where bouncer Todd Asa North was fatally shot early Sunday at Flyers in Havelock.
HAVELOCK � St. Peter has a new angel with the muscle to watch over heaven�s gate.
Friends and co-workers left flowers, candles and personal remembrances at a doorway Monday where bouncer Todd Asa North was fatally shot early Sunday at Flyers in Havelock.
�He was probably about 6-1 or 6-2 and weighed every bit of 255 or 260, and he literally looked like one of those guys that would go to gym and work out constantly,� Flyers owner John Bruns said. �His calves were bigger than my thighs. He was just a massive guy. We�re going to miss him.�
The suspect in the case, Jonathan Richard Pugh, 18, of Havelock, was shot as he and North exchanged gunfire at the front door of the bar at 1:13 a.m. Sunday. He faces an open count of murder and is being treated at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville.
The bar�s front door had three bullet holes in the glass. One round struck the side of the door and was recovered from the adjacent door frame. The door was covered by a sheet of plywood on Monday, and several people had left notes of remembrance written in marker on the outside, along with flowers and candles.
�He never met a man that he didn�t like,� Bruns said, describing North with a famous quote from Will Rogers. �Everybody was at 100 percent with Todd when he first met you, and you could decrease it or increase it from there.�
Bruns said North was a good employee.
�He had a certain confidence and swagger about him where he knew he could always take care of it on his own and he never had to worry about anybody backing him up, but on the other hand at the same time, he was also that same guy that, if you were in trouble or somebody was picking on you, he didn�t care who you were or what race you were or what religion you were, he was one of these guys who would physically go to your aid even if it was to his peril,� he said. �He didn�t care. He was a total selfless servant.
�The bottom line is he was always fair to people and that�s why I like him. I put him in charge of security and that�s why.�
North was a native of California and served as a U.S. Marine at Cherry Point. North left the Corps as a staff sergeant and adopted Havelock as a second home, taking up jobs as a bouncer at many bars. He reportedly had become a new father.
Amber Onizuk, a bartender at Flyers, remembered all of the stories North used to tell.
�He�s funny,� she said. �He used to tell us stories all the time, just an awesome person, fun to be around. He used to make us laugh all of the time.
�We�d sit after work and talk to him. He had a lot of stories, a lot of funny stories. He would tell us crazy stories about being in the Marine Corps and then stories about bouncing other places. He was a funny person.�
Heather Ross, of Havelock, a patron of the bar, came up to the closed doorway to put down some flowers on Monday morning.
�I just felt the need to bring some flowers and a candle for the memorial because of just the fact that he was a good man and everybody loved him,� she said. �He was loved by a lot of people. Every time I came here, he was always here with a big mug of coffee in his hand. Really good man. Very big man, with a big heart to go with it.�
Ross said she was in shock after hearing about the bouncer�s death.
�I know these things happen all over,� she said. �It�s kind of surreal when it�s this close to home and when it�s someone that you�re familiar with.�
Havelock police are still investigating the shooting and did not release any new information on Monday. North�s autopsy was scheduled for Monday.
According to the initial investigation, Havelock police received a call of shots fired at 1:13 a.m. Sunday at the bar at 400 Fontana Blvd. North, 39, of Havelock, was guarding the front door to the nightclub when he was allegedly shot four times by Pugh, a Havelock High student.
North died later at CarolinaEast Medical Center in New Bern.
Pugh initially fled the scene after the shooting, but upon discovering he had been shot, starting banging on doors for someone to call 911 to get him help.
Several others were injured by the gunfire including one Marine who was shot in each leg, a second Marine who was shot in one leg, and three people who were hit by bullet fragments, according to Havelock Police Investigator Lt. Brian Woods.
Surveillance video from the bar shows a man said to be Pugh walking to the front door with a gun in one hand. It also shows a crowded bar as patrons dived to the floor as the shots started flying.
Investigators say Pugh, who entered the bar with two older men, was involved in a fight and was thrown out early in the evening. Woods said that two people were hurt in the fight.
Pugh left and apparently returned later with a gun.
Police recovered a Smith and Wesson .40-caliber semiautomatic allegedly used by Pugh and a Sig Sauer .45-caliber semiautomatic that was used by North.
Woods said that all of the gunfire occurred in the vicinity of the front door to the establishment in a standoff between Pugh, who walked up from the outside, and North, who came from inside. Woods said it is not clear exactly what happened when the two men confronted one another and that the sequence of events was still being investigated.

Readers of Kemble Scott's 2007 bestseller SoMa may recall a female character being lured to the Argent Hotel and debauched, not knowing she was participating in a spectator event. That book's author insists that this is not a mere literary creation: Around 2002, he says, people who enjoyed being watched would put on a show at the Argent (which is now the Westin). "This was a thing," insists Scott James, the nom de real life of Kemble Scott. "This was the exhibitionists' hotel of choice."

Whether you're heading south or north, the feeling of hitting the road is liberating and exciting, but after a few hours driving the struggle to find a decent coffee and fresh food can slowly deflate the holiday high. Too many country bakery pies, bless 'em, can leave you feeling bilious, and highways lined with fast food chains are no substitute for well made simple food, good coffee, a friendly face and if you're lucky, a great view.
Knowing where to stop for sustenance can turn any good road trip into a great one, and if like me you're prepared to organise your journey around breakfast, lunch and dinner, let this list of favourite road stops between Sydney and Melbourne be your guide.
COASTAL ROUTE (Princes Highway)
Cafe 3858, Heyfield
A pretty detour off the highway between Traralgon and Sale, Cafe 3858 serves up a menu of locally sourced produce. Try a traditional breakfast with local bacon and eggs or the best-selling parma ($20) – chicken breast with panko crumbs, house made tomato sauce and cheese. Everything is made in-house, including serious cakes and slices, and a shaded courtyard garden is the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate.
14 George Street, Heyfield VIC, 03 5148 3447. Open Tues-Fri 9am-4.30pm, Sat and Sun 9am-3pm.
Provincial Lane Cafe, Bairnsdale
At the rear of Bairnsdale's Provincial Lane store, the Provincial Lane Cafe has garnered load of fans since it opened 18 months ago. Baguettes and quiches give a nod to the French theme but house made muffins, cakes and scones are the real winners. Try a Devonshire tea ($10) – fluffy scones with raspberry jam, thick cream, coffee or a tea from their extensive range of blends. Follow with a little antique browsing – a nice way to stretch your legs before you head back on the road.
300 Main Street, Bairnsdale VIC, 03 5152 4213.
Open Mon-Fri 9am-4pm, Sat 9am-2pm, provinciallane.com.au
Wild Rye Baking Company, Pambula
Baker Todd Wiebe uses organic flour, traditional methods and the best quality local ingredients he can find. Grab a barbecue rump pie ($5) and you'll understand why queues are the norm. Wild Rye also sells fabulous sandwiches – think panini stuffed with double smoked ham, salad and house made mustard mayo ($8.50) – and lovely cakes. Take your pie and a traditional Danish apple kringle ($3.80) to the nearby Pambula River for the perfect road-stop picnic. Cash only.
26 Quondola Street (Princes Highway), Pambula NSW, 02 6495 6649.
Open Mon-Fri 6.30am-4.30pm, Sat and Sun 6.30am-2.30pm (Sundays closed off peak).
Bar Beach Kiosk, Merimbula
Made out to look like a surfer's shack, the Bar Beach Kiosk has one of the best positions on the South Coast – overlooking pristine sand and water. The kiosk serves up the perfect post-swim food – think free range eggs and bacon in a crusty roll ($7.50) or zingy smashed avocado with fetta, lemon and toasted seeds on ciabatta ($9.50). House made sausage rolls, indulgent cakes and slices and Dimattina coffee will get you back on the road in fine form. Cash only.
Off Lake Street, Merimbula NSW. Open daily 7.30am-5pm (Closed from April-October).
Bodalla Dairy Shed, Bodalla
This gorgeous retro milk bar and cafe with huge outdoor terrace overlooking bucolic countryside is just the place to break your drive. Stock up on great dairy products including plain and flavoured milks, cheese and yoghurt, or stop for an icy cold traditional chocolate milkshake ($4.50), or a meal from the ever-changing menu – maybe an old-fashioned beef burger ($12.50) or hot scones with jam and cream ($5.50) – all made using the truly great local produce. Kids will love the playhouse and the baby animals.
52 Princes Highway, Bodalla NSW, 02 4473 5555. Open 7 days 9am-5pm, bodalladairyshed.com.au
Little Gunga, Milton
If it's truly great coffee you're after, make sure you stop at Milton's Little Gunga. Using Di Lorenzo and Umami coffee, Little Gunga eschews decaf, sweeteners, super-sized drinks or cups of tea, aiming for a stripped back coffee experience. Same for the food – think house made peanut butter cookies ($1.50) croissants with Nutella or jam, Persian love cake or banana caramel tart (all $4). A warm retro industrial interior will make you feel like you're back in Sydney or Melbourne. Cash only.
6/41 Wason Street, Milton NSW, 0416 037 345. Open Tues-Sat 7.30am-2pm.
The Blue Swimmer, Gerroa
If you're tired of just seeing the ocean from the car, stop at The Blue Swimmer and enjoy its lovely beach view. Holidaymakers may linger over lunch and Allpress coffee but even if you're just passing through, a brunch of crushed potatoes, smoked ocean trout, lemon hollandaise and poached eggs ($17) is definitely worth taking time over. Fish and chips ($19) and a steak sandwich ($20) sit comfortably next to more expensive menu options. Be warned, this lovely cafe gets very busy in peak season, so call ahead.
19 Riverleigh Avenue, Gerroa NSW, 02 4234 3796. Open Wed-Sat 8am-late, Sun 8am-3pm, theblueswimmer.com.au
Fowles Wine Cellar Door Cafe, Avenel
Never was a cellar door so fortuitously positioned. About 130 kilometres from Melbourne, the elegant winery pops up just as your legs need a stretch and your stomach starts grumbling. Think cheese platters ($28 for four or $9 each) or the ploughman's lunch – local smoked ham, terrine, pickles, cheeses bread and egg and bacon pie ($30). Toby's Estate coffee and an indulgent raspberry and white chocolate muffin with berries and cream ($7) are very hard to ignore. Friendly staff are good with children too.
Corner Hume Highway and Lambing Gully Road, Avenel VIC, 03 5796 2150. Open daily 9am-5pm, fowleswine.com.au
Benalla Gallery Cafe, Benalla
With a balcony overlooking the Benalla River, the Gallery Cafe is a great place to head for some fresh air, a walk and a bite to eat. Simple food made well – maybe a platter of local cheese and antipasto ($20) – a wall of local wines, and indulgent house made cakes, make the idea of eating in the gallery even more appealing. Exhibition entry is free too, a good excuse to head back onto the highway feeling inspired.
Botanic Gardens, Bridge Street, Benalla VIC, 03 5762 3777. Open daily 9am-4pm, benallaartgallery.com
Long Track Pantry, Jugiong
Let's face it, the towns between Albury and Goulburn are never going to feature in any good food guide, but the Long Track Pantry is the wonderful exception to the rule. Don't miss the brekkie roll with local free range eggs, crisp pancetta and roasted tomatoes ($14), but if you're willing to share, the Long Track lunch plate with smoked trout pate and red onion relish, marinated feta, chicken and pistachio terrine, artichokes, and toasted Turkish bread ($20) is a great way to try the best of the region's produce.
Riverside Drive, Jugiong NSW, 02 6945 4144. Open Wed-Mon 8am-4pm, longtrackpantry.com.au
Red Tree Cafe, Bowral
Unlike many small country towns, Bowral has several good eating options, but for a quick road-stop the Red Tree Cafe's casual, cosy atmosphere and fast service does the trick. Contemporary food, such as the bruschetta with green pea, mint and lemon pesto with labne or goats feta cheese, crisp pancetta and basil pesto ($15) makes a great breakfast or lunch, and the range of tarts, brownies and muffins ($5-$6.50) served with ice-cream and berries are pretty tempting with a mid-afternoon coffee.
52 Station Street, Bowral NSW, 02 4862 5417. Open daily 8am-4pm, redtreecafe.com.au
What's your favourite road trip food stop?

Some things just make this way of life better. I know we each have our favorites. Here are some of mine which include medical care, home life and cleaning, exercise, and cooking:
Medical Care
A compassionate doctor who has good hearing as well as a smart mind.
A doctor who looks into my eyes instead of the screen of a computer.
A gynecologist with small hands; preferably attached to a female doctor.
A kind receptionist at any kind of office. Don't make me bring out the big guns; it upsets me to be rude.
Doctors who call when they say they will.
Doctor's offices that don't keep me waiting all day on my sore tush.
Reports, written or called to me, on lab work or x-rays which I have paid for.
Lab technicians who didn't attend the Marque de Sade school of bloodletting.
A clean office, hospital or other medical facility. I don't want to know what went on in there before I arrived. I definitely don't want to see blood on the floor or the doctor's shoes.
I love watching a doctor or nurse wash their hands. I feel more confidence in them.
New magazines in a waiting room, anywhere.
Pharmacies that are accurate, clean and courteous.
When all the pill bottles look alike, I like to write the initial of the medication on the top of the cap in large letters.
I like to prepare my meds a week or two ahead of time in those weekly plastic containers.
The same for daily vitamins. I like capsules more than pills which stick in the throat and adore chewable anything.
L-lysine capsules and L-lysine lip cream for fever blisters which I get often from the sun. Also cheaper than the other "stuff."
Aloe vera gel for any rash. Yes, you can mix it with other things.
Our Home
I can't imagine life without my I Robot cleaners, scrubbers, vacuums...also known as Scooba and Roomba.
I like all the Swiffer products.
Spray bottles over wipes.
I like to alternate my arms when scrubbing…can't let "leftie" get any more flabby than it already is.
Consumer Reports magazine and Popular Science for education, Reader's Digest and Guideposts for general "library" reading, Newsmax for politics, Good Housekeeping and Southern Living just for fun, and Arthritis Today and nursing journals for keeping up to date.
I love all movies except the ghoulish ones or ones that have no story line. It freaks me out enough that my husband reads Stephen King.
I prefer biographies, political books, and war stories. I like to read anything inspirational and prefer the Holy Bible: new amplified version, although the language of the good old King James Version is beautiful and embedded in my heart.
I love digging in the dirt, usually potting a flower or trailing plant. Always end up taking off my gardening gloves. Reminds me of guys who don't like condoms…If I remember correctly.
I always end up buying pink flowers so am making an effort to insert more lavender and yellow into the mix this year. I love the way yellow jumps out at you in a plant, a pot or a color accent inside.
I can't imagine not growing a few of my own herbs, although our weather isn't always amicable to the idea.
I love little pottery and china animals and collectibles throughout the house that make me laugh.
I'm nuts for crazy signs like the one I bought my husband a few years ago. "If a man is alone in the woods and speaks and there is no wife to hear him; is he still wrong?" He loves it.
I am obsessed with family pictures, especially the old ones of relatives or of my kids and grandkids. I think they keep me grounded. Have a stairwell full of them which are never straight because our funny old house goes downhill about 2 inches.
I love lace, soft cushy blankets, flannel sheets and all heating pads. Well, it is the Northwest.
I consider feather pillows a must for sleeping, relaxing and under the tush. Don't have to be the expensive goose down ones, although they are wonderful. I know the goose sacrificed a lot but I simply can't afford them.
I love the riot of wallpaper. Our home is very loud but it speaks to me and makes me happy. I like the company.
I love to write. Words can be so wonderful, painful and paint pictures for the mind and soul. Don't you think so?
I like to find the cheapest way to do something and always buy clothes for myself when they're on sale.
I have to be chained up to keep from buying the grandkids anything they want. I'm working on it. I find it helps if I wait a day or two to see if their desire for it goes away.
If I find something that's comfortable, I'll wear it until it's in rags.
Comfortable shoes are a must, duh?? Goes without saying but I just did.
I appreciate compromise in regards to housework. Can't do everything anymore. Martha Stewart, don't come to my house; you'd stroke out.
My home is my castle, my infirmary, my cloud, my hell and my solace. Depends on the day you ask me.
I like my dogs more than most humans I know. No hypocrisy with them. I love that someone greets me with such overwhelming enthusiasm when I've only been out to pick up the mail.
I like that the word "exercise" has become my friend.
I like it mild, often and friendly. How many things can you say that about?
I like light weights while I'm watching TV at night.
I love all the stretchy bands; they're a must.
I love my notebook I've kept over the years of all my physical therapy stretches and exercises. Helps me remember what I both paid for and need to do.
I like parking far away from the door at the grocery store so I have to walk, unless it's raining so hard I fear I will drown.
I like the cloth shopping bags because they're eco-friendly, feel better on the hands and keep me from chasing canned foods that fall out of plastic bags down the hill where we live.
I like all healthy products for cleaning and eating, like Shaklee, Avalon Organics, Tom's of Maine, EO products and bathe the dogs in Buddy Wash by Cloud Star or Earth Bath pet shampoo, especially the one with Tea Tree Oil. Thanks, Australia...I use tea tree oil for many things.
It's so much easier to grab a hat and a jacket and walk by the river than to walk on a treadmill. Finally gave mine away.
I like to count when I do leg lifts, modified sit-ups etc. because I feel the progress when my count is higher than it was last week.
I like doing neck stretches with the hot shower pouring down on me.
I always keep ice packs in the freezer. You never know. In a pinch a bag of peas is also good. Don't open them. If they defrost; you got dinner.
I figured out some time ago that we still have to eat, whether I feel like it or not.
My husband cooks scrambled eggs and toast. That's it unless it involves something in the microwave; he's getting better at that.
I love my guy for never wavering if I call him at work and tell him I just don't feel well enough to cook. He always replies, "Whatta' ya want me to pick up?"
I like the volume shopping at a store like Costco but only if it's something I know we'll eat within a few months, like those great Sirloin hamburgers all ready with cheese and bun. I also like the frozen tamales, burritos, etc.
I try to never fry anything but if I have to brown something, I use olive oil only. I like the lighter versions.
I bake a lot of meat these days. If we want it crispy, I soak it in buttermilk (you know you can make soured milk by adding a tsp. of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of regular milk?) if I have it on hand. Then I roll the meat in breadcrumbs and love the Japanese ones the best, like Panko. Cornflakes are good, too.
I love oven roasted vegetables, particularly sliced potatoes instead of fries, asparagus, different kinds of squashes mixed with baby pearl onions and baking Brussels sprouts, etc.
Balsamic vinegar on salad, in potato salad, as a marinade. It has a sweetness and aroma that's fabulous and interesting. It will make your potato salad beige, however.
I like those salad dressing spritzers.
Just discovered the Cadbury ice cream chocolate dipped bars that are snack size, so half the calories.
I love the silicone baking sheets on the cookie sheets.
I love real butter. They always find some carcinogen in the latest fad of margarine and it usually tastes terrible. The low cal ones don't melt well because they're half water. No, I'll take the cow.
The best cheese sauce I ever found is the easiest. Melt any grated cheese you like in a cup or two of sour cream over a low burner. Stir and enjoy over potatoes, cauliflower, etc.
I usually cook with leftovers in mind. Why cook again tomorrow? Doesn't make sense to me.
Did you know French or sourdough bread stays fresher in a clean kitchen trash bag; you know, the white ones?
I love fresh herb butter made with herbs from the pots on the back porch. Basil butter is my favorite. Just mix chopped herb of your choice with butter and a dash or olive oil and cover it and you'll eat it until it's gone.
Get the grandkids or your own children to eat vegies by cutting up colored bell peppers, carrots, etc. and serving them with a small amount of Ranch dressing. My own grandkids like the whole carrots with the greens on after they discovered Bugs Bunny.
I love one of our local pizza places because they sell more than pizza and will deliver anything. You can be sure they know just where we live.
In our area, I love the fish and chips, especially the beer battered ones. Yum.
Did you know you can put just about anything in a rolled up tortilla, preferably flour for flexibility and call it a burrito?
I like golden or yellow potatoes because I have a sensitive pallet and the others taste like dirt sometimes.
I love the produce guys who put out small paper bags for mushrooms because they get slimy much faster in a plastic one.
Did you know if you shove an old can of root beer far back in your refrigerator and ignore it for too long it will explode with this sticky, syrupy mess? Just learned that one myself.
Love keeping a small glass bowl of Kosher or Sea Salt by the stove. Makes me feel like a TV chef I guess.
I don't like paper plates of any kind. My husband will use them. I won't. We have a dishwasher for goodness sakes!
We have a small refrigerator upstairs. Didn't cost much and it's great in the middle of the night for juice, yogurt, etc. Also good in the AM when the stairs are just too much before the daily pills kick in. Beats tumbling down the stairs.
Julia Childs was right. If you dry off any meat first it browns better.
I find if we're dieting, it's best to cheat once a week. Then we're back to it. Hey, I can't give up fried onion rings altogether.
You can't diet for another person. They have to be motivated within themselves. You can, however, sew their pants a bit tighter around the waist to inspire them.
Well dear friends, I've rambled on quite long enough. Time to send this in to EH, think about dinner and move this recalcitrant body around.

What is the FrameMaker Developer Kit?
The Adobe® FrameMaker® Developer Kit (FDK) is a set of C libraries and header files that allow you to write Application Programmer Interface (API) clients or plug-ins using the C or C++ programming language. Using the FDK, an API client can perform interactive user tasks and more. It gives programmers direct access to all the objects in a FrameMaker session or document. This includes graphics, text, markers, paragraphs, formats, and more. You can find additional information regarding the FDK in the FrameMaker Developer Knowledgebase.
FDK overview
The following sections describe the principal parts of the FDK and discuss how you can use them:
- FrameMaker Development Environment (FDE)
- Structure Import/Export Application Program Interface (SGML API)
- Comparing tools
The FrameMaker API allows you to write C language programs, called API clients, which can do interactive user tasks and more. The API gives a client direct access to all objects in a document including text and graphics. An API client can take control of a FrameMaker product session and communicate interactively with the user. The API includes a set of header files, libraries, and tools for each supported platform. Here are some examples of the types of clients you can create with the API:
- Grammar checkers
- Bibliography utilities
- Voice control utilities
- Document reporting utilities
- Version control systems for documents
- Table utilities, such as sorting and totaling
- Database publishing packages
- Filters to exchange files between other desktop publishing applications and FrameMaker
The FrameMaker Development Environment helps you make your client portable to all platforms supported by FrameMaker products. The FDE provides platform-independent alternatives to platform-specific I/O, string, and memory allocation schemes. It also provides a variety of utility functions, such as Maker Interchange Format (MIF) writing functions. You are encouraged to use the FDE to develop all your clients. The FDE includes header files and libraries for each supported platform.
Structure Import/Export API
The Structure Import/Export API allows you to write clients that control the import of SGML or XML documents into FrameMaker, and control the export of FrameMaker structured documents to XML or SGML documents.
Product tools
Maker Interchange Format is an easily parsed ASCII format that describes a document's text, graphics, formatting, and layout. Any version of a FrameMaker product (except Adobe FrameViewer®) can save a document or a book to an MIF file and convert an MIF file back to a document or book without losing any information. You can write applications or scripts that convert an MIF file to the format of another desktop publishing package, or convert other formats to MIF. Here are some examples of things you can use MIF for:
- Sharing files with earlier releases of FrameMaker products
- Converting database files into FrameMaker documents
- Filtering word processor documents into FrameMaker documents
The MIF Reference is an online manual that's included with FrameMaker. It provides a complete description of MIF.
The fmbatch utility is shipped with UNIX® versions of FrameMaker. It allows you to open, print, reformat, and save FrameMaker files without displaying them. You can use fmbatch directly at a UNIX graphics workstation or in a remote shell from a nongraphics terminal. The fmbatch utility provides interactive and batch modes. When you use it in batch mode, you can execute operations on multiple files automatically. For example, you can use fmbatch for:
- Printing books or documents from a remote location
- Printing multiple books or documents automatically
- Updating multiple books or documents automatically
- Converting multiple books or documents to MIF
For more information on the fmbatch utility, see the FrameMaker User Guide for UNIX platforms.
Choosing the right FrameMaker tools
There are often several tools or combinations of tools that you can use to solve a given problem. In particular, you can use the API to perform many of the tasks that MIF and fmbatch perform. The tool or combination of tools you should use depends on your needs. Generally, MIF and fmbatch are more useful for solutions to small problems, whereas the API is more useful for full-scale applications or applications where interaction with the user is required. The table below summarizes the advantages and limitations of each FrameMaker tool.
Comparing tools
|FrameMaker tool
|FrameMaker API
|Interactive and portable; easy to provide a user interface for your applications; greatest functionality
|Must be compiled; requires C programming expertise
|Can be used by text-processing utilities or UNIX shell script
|Files must be saved as MIF; not interactive
|Doesn't require C programming; can be used remotely from a nongraphics terminal
|Limited functionality; only available on UNIX platforms
|Must be used with other tools to manipulate FrameMaker binary documents and books

(written from a Production point of view)
Round 2 LLC is an American company, founded by entrepreneur Tom Lowe in 2005 and based in South Bend, Indiana, that specializes in model kits, toys and die-cast collectibles. [1]
In 2007, they purchased the Aluminum Model Toys, Polar Lights and MPC model kit lines from their prior owners, Racing Champions. Round 2 LLC relaunched each of the product lines under their own original brand names, and for the first time in a number of years, all US-licensed Star Trek model kits, marketed since 2007, were being produced by a single company.
Round 2 markets their model kits internationally and has only once sub-licensed a limited number of their kits to the Japanese model and kit company Platz, which marketed four kits in 2010 under the combined name "AMT/Ertl-Platz" for the Japanese market only. The only other company that as of 2012 holds an official license for Star Trek model kits is the German Revell company, which managed to extend the license it held for the Star Trek: Voyager model kit line as well as new products originating from Star Trek: The Original Series, albeit for the European Union only. The status of the license of the Voyager model kit line, originally held by the American Revell-Monogram company, is as of 2012 unclear, as no Voyager model kits have been marketed in the US since 1997.
Some Star Trek-related Round 2 brands were exchanged with Tomy, the current owner of Racing Champions (RC2) in 2011.
