New moms have it rough the first few months. As breastfeeding starts and new moms get comfortable with their role, they spend a lot of time looking down and holding the newborn in their arms. While that may be blissful at the moment, a few weeks of breastfeeding can cause stress and tension all through the neck and chest area. But there's a simple way to relieve that tension.

~ Overview ~
As I am a massive film and TV lover I had to buy myself a DVD recorder which would do an all-round job of recording movies and TV shows which I enjoy on a regular basis.
~ Price ~
This little recorder will set you back around £240 including deliver (tends to be around £10 if you order online which I did). I bought my DVD Recorder from Amazon for £237.
~ Strengths & Weaknesses ~
This little beauty has lots of features to delight any technology enthusiast. After using the recorder (using the manual of course) I found it quite easy to navigate around the menus and settings screens and changing the configuration to what I needed was quite easy.
It is very stylish and looks fabulous on a decent TV stand. I can also confirm that so far it has no reliability issues and has not blown up on me yet but you wouldn't expect that from a Sony product.
~ Specifications ~
It comes with a 160GB hard disk which can store a massive amount of data (programs/films) and supports all types of media and also all types of recordable DVD's and CD's. The recorder also supports HDMI up to 1080p and also comes with an integrated freeview tuner to link into digital TV which is essential to record digital TV.
Dimensions of the recorder box: Depth: 286mm Width: 430mm Height: 76.5mm.
It also only comes with one DVD/CD drive but does support firewire and USB hardware to play your media on.
~ Summary ~
- Price: £230
- Cannot be found under any cash back websites
- Supports most recordable DVD's/CD's
- Supports DivX, JPEG, MP3 and USB interface
- One year warranty included
- Supports SCART and S-Video
~ Conclusion ~
This is a fabulous product and for the price it is a true bargain as it does everything you need it to do and more. You get a remote too which I have also had no problems with to date. The black colour makes it look quite stylish and snazzy which looks nice to the average human eye. If you want to impress your mates then this is the device to do it with as it can record vasts amount of data and also back it up for you at the same time.
I tend to use this to record football or even to record programs for my wife (all that rubbish stuff like home and away or those programs that improve people's appearances, all very boring to me). My wife has no problems using this, and she has problems using the toaster! A great product and would recommend to anyone looking to buy a DVD recorder.
My Rating: 5/5

This device from Sony serves a number of very useful purposes:
1. It can act as a digital or analogue tuner
2. It can act as a DVD player (with HDMI up-scaling)
3. It can act as a digital recorder
4. It can act as a DVD recorder
I bought this for the primary purpose of recording digital TV, burning it to DVD, and sending it to my girlfriend who is currently without a digital tuner. At this task it excels.
My existing HD-Ready TV already has a digital tuner, so I don't use the RDR-HXD870 to watch TV live. Although the tuner is excellent, the on screen display isn't as fluid as the one on my TV, so it's not as comfortable for just watching TV.
I also have a perfectly fine DVD player, so I tend not to use this machine for watching DVDs. Mainly, this is because I have not managed to connect this device to my surround sound system - but this is a failing of my speaker system, not the HXD870, which has all the outputs you could need.
The capacity of this recorder is excellent. Part of the digital signal in the UK includes "series" information, allowing you to set the recorder to automatically record all episodes of a particular TV series. I use this extensively, and have never missed a show - even a rescheduled one, or a one-off double episode.
An excellent feature is the ability to watch one show off the hard drive while another is recording - or even start a show while it is still being recorded. Great when you get home 20 minutes late - you can start playing from the beginning without waiting for the end of the program.
Note that you can't watch one digital channel through this device while recording another. You can of course watch one digital channel on your digital TV while recording a different one on this device.
Copying to DVD is very fast, and the produced disks are of excellent quality and play in any DVD player or PC.
The manual is a bit complex to read, but the on screen display is fairly intuitive and easy to use. Recording programs is as simple as finding them on the guide and pressing one or two buttons.
The device supports BRAVIA Theatre Sync, which is supposed to allow one-button startup of TV and media device; however, I don't have a Bravia television to test this with.
Setting up for the first time is complex - best get your 15 year old nephew to give you a hand if you're not familiar with your AV equipment!
This is a great recorder if you already have Freeview with your Tv or a set top box. That will make it possible to watch a Freeview channel on your Tv while recording a different Freeview channel on the DVD. The fact that it's a dual tuner doesn't make it possible to do both with the DVD recorder alone and you can only record one channel at a time, so really the whole dual tuner aspect is pointless. However if you're not bothered about that, it's a good way of receiving Freeview.
On the upside, it's even better than just having a set top box alone, because with a set top box you can only record whatever channel is set on your Freeview, and then it won't record a different channel until you reset it. This one will switch Freeview channels so you can set it up to record several programs one after another on different channels. It also has HD upscaling which cleans up the Freeview signal, getting rid of the drag or pixilation you sometimes see on an LCD screen. You'll need a tv with a HD socket and you'll need a HD cable. I suggest getting a good quality cable as it makes a difference to result you will get. I can see a definite difference between watching the Tv Freeview and the DVD Freeview, so tend to mostly watch through the DVD.
As a gadget it's marvellous. You can chase play, which means you can set it to record, and then start watching the program you're recording a few minutes later. You can watch something you've saved to hard drive or watch a dvd, at the same time as recording something else. You can set it to record a tv series and it will pick up everything a week ahead. It has a range of quality options, and the high quality is really good, but be warned if you use HQ to record a one hour program it will use up two hours of memory.
Another useful aspect is you can seperate your store of titles into genres, or input your own name to store your favourite programs under. Very useful when your store of titles is running into the dozens.
There's a comprehensive instruction manual that to be honest I haven't used much. It tends to be easier sometimes just to press buttons and see what happens, and as it's a very user-friendly system it's fairly clear just by looking at what's onscreen.
This is a great recorder that's still doing well after eight months, with no problems. I would say the best set up is the one I've got, with an LCD tv with inbuilt Freeview and also my old video recorder, which makes it possible to record two Freeview channels at the same time.
I have read through Nibelung's review of this Sony machine and he does make some valid points about it. I also own this DVD recorder/hard drive/freeview tuner and I have to say that it is an absolutely superb piece of kit. I do have to state that I am running it through a HDTV that displays at 1080p and the freeview signal is very crisp and clear.
Initial set up is very straightforward and quick to do, again as Nibelug states the A5 manual is 150+ pages and lets be honest most people will not read it. I must admit I did not read it all but after a setting it up I have refered to it on several occasions when I have needed to (which I think everyone does when they buy a new appliance).
Performance wise this is up to Sony's usual high standards and works extrememly well. It is easy to record to the built in hard drive, in fact its so easy my 5 year old son can do it. It is then possible to record the saved programmes to DVD. I have done this regularly and never encountered any problems. I have also recorded DVD's on this machine from other sources, ie Sky+ and even all my old video collection which was easily achieved by just connecting an old VCR and away you go!
Recorded DVD quality is excellent (allowance being made for the quality of the recorded matter) obviously a recording from an old VHS tape is never going to be 1st class.
Overall if you want a top class DVD/Hard Drive then this is very highly rated and I do not think you will be disappointed.
Like it or not, Freeview TV is coming - that's the over-the-air digital TV that bit by bit will see off analogue TV, and in fact the process has started, with the whole country slated to be 'cut over' by 2012.
Just being able to watch it, assuming you can (I'm conveniently forgetting any aerial upgrades that may be needed), merely
requires either a set-top box or a TV with the digital tuner built in.
Try recording it though and your options get slimmer.
You can either buy a set-top box that also contains a hard disk drive and two tuners, (aka Personal Video Recorder or PVR), or buy a machine like the Sony RDR-HXD870 which can not only receive Freeview, but record to a hard drive, and thence to a built-in DVD recorder if the need to archive anything should crop up. This also means that it doubles as a DVD and CD player.
So a 'no-brainer' contest there, you might think - the Sony wins hands down as it does everything I could currently wish for.
Well yes and no really.
Yes, it's got some means to make permanent DVDs of TV programmes, so, unlike a PVR, you won't have to delete recordings for ever once the hard disk is full, but NO, it won't let you record one channel and watch another since it only has one digital tuner.
Sony's own advertising tells of 'dual tuners' which struck me as an odd phrase when PVR makers usually boast of 'twin tuners'. There's a reason for this ambivalence - it has ONE digital and ONE analogue tuner, the latter of which will have the same purpose in life as a chocolate tea-pot come 2012, at least in Britain it will, but this unit, which is made in Hungary is made for use in several European countries, some of which will retain analog cable and set top boxes like Canal+.
Unfortunately, it seems on reading the reviews on Amazon.co.uk that not many people realised this, using such phrases as 'unfit for purpose' or 'they lied'.
Incidentally, those that DID know what they were buying are largely pleased with it, as am I.
To save you the trouble, you will NOT find any Freeview twin-tuner boxes WITH a DVD recorder built in, but it seems to me that like any other nascent technology, the makers are loath to put it all out there on the market at first attempt, for fear of making a really good one with nothing to upgrade to.
Me, I'm not too worried. After all, I've not only already got an integrated digital TV, but also a Topfield 5800 twin-tuner PVR, which should be enough tuners for any techno-glutton, but the means to archive programmes simply to DVD still eludes me. Even with a twin tuner PVR under my belt, I still find recording clashes since I've found it's always prudent to 'pad out' a recording by three minutes at the end. This then leads to what were merely going to be back-to-back recordings to start using two tuners as for 3 minutes, they are running in parallel.
The fun starts when you don't want to watch either of what's being recorded.
This was always going to be a two-horse race between the Sony and the equivalent Panasonic, also an excellent machine. However, the Panasonic required to be fully powered up to watch any set-top boxes or PVRs that might be 'plugged through' it to the TV, whereas the Sony only required being on stand-by. As I'll be doing a lot of this, the Sony emerged as the overall winner. A further feather in the Sony's cap, through being a newer model and therefore closer to the latest Freeview parameters, is that the timer can be set to monitor a series of episodes and cancel the reservation once they finish.
Good job I downloaded both manuals as PDF files, otherwise, I could have been caught out on the toss of a coin.
Both machines are only a tad over £200 if you shop around, and with more or less the same features all bar the last two. It also helped that my DVD player is now on the blink, and I'd just received an unexpected windfall in the form of a small inheritance.
Combine this with the fact that I haven't bought a decent gadget for months, and the fate of £209 including free delivery from Amazon.co.uk was sealed!
Setting up is much like you would for a VCR (only "on STERoids" as Clarkson would have it).
Your aerial cable should be diverted here first and extended on to the TV. If you think you'll ever have a use for the analogue tuner between here and 2012, you can also 'daisy-chain' this into the process with more short aerial cables.
Outputs are a slightly more dazzling array than the humble VCR could ever boast. You've got a coaxial digital link to feed a home cinema decoder, so that 5-channel sound can be heard when playing a shop-bought DVD - it works for TV recordings and audio CDs too but only in stereo. This was a nuisance, because I had to go out and buy a coaxial lead, its predecessor having been a fibre-optic one.
As well as the now-familiar SCART* leads, you have separate S-Video connections and three individual phono sockets feeding 'Red-Green-Blue' to any monitor capable of 'component input'. Basically, you pick the best that your TV can stand and use that.
*(Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs - so now you know)
Notably, this box has sprouted something else - an HDMI output, this being the 'latest thing' feeding a digital sound and vision signal straight to any TV willing to talk to it, the idea being that this enhances picture quality by cutting down on losses in analogue conversion. The Sony also does something called 'up-scaling' to partly take advantage of so-called 'HD-Ready' TVs, although you can't make an HD picture out of something that isn't HD already. However, there is a visible improvement I'm told. A new HD TV isn't a step I've taken (yet) but when I do, I'll make sure that it can resolve 1080 lines with progressive scan. All I know at present is that 1080p is better than 1080i, and the Sony talks to the former. Note: Even when (or if) Freeview gets real Hi-Definition transmissions, this box will NOT be ready for them.
GETTING TO GRIPS - The Bad News
Wait for it - the instruction manual has 172 (!) A5 pages, all in English, before anyone asks.
GETTING TO GRIPS - The Good News
Fortunately, getting started doesn't require a working knowledge of the whole tome - just the bits on how to connect it, tune it and set up TV recordings. You can always grow into the other bits, like finding out how you play them back, or copying and editing camcorder tapes later.
To a certain extent, the size of the book reflects the sheer amount of everything that you can do with this machine - not only is it also a DVD movie and CD-Audio player, but it can also be used as a juke box for up to 99 albums-worth of CDs, and can store jpegs for later use as slide shows. It can handle DivX format movie files through its front USB port or on disk, and can 'suck' pictures straight from a USB-compatible digital camera.
Of course, if you start on these mini-projects in earnest you'll wish you'd bought a version with a bigger hard drive than the 160 gigabytes supplied in this one. There are 4 machines in this series, all basically the same except for disk size, the 770, 870 (mine), 970 an 1070. The B or S suffix merely tells you whether it's a black or silver one. As for myself, this isn't my only hard-disk recorder so I was more swayed by price.
Setting up was easy - almost 'plug and play' really. All I had to do was confirm which country I was in and then let it loose finding digital channels. You CAN also get it to find analogue channels but unless it's to let you get both S4C AND Channel 4, I can't really see much point, unless you've bought it now in a region where Freeview can't be supplied until the analogue switch-off - at least you can pause live TV, record and make DVDs of analogue programmes in the mean time.
From my location, 15 miles from Crystal Palace, my digital reception is excellent and the picture from the digital tuner is vice free even in bad weather and with jumbo jets flying through my line of sight with the mast. If you have a problem, the setup menu lets you monitor signal strength and quality.
The set-up menu is, how can I put it, a trifle 'busy', especially if like me, you're routing something else through it and onwards to the TV, but it all comes right in the end. I've now got both the SCART-IN and SCART-OUT sockets set to RedGreenBlue to make maximum advantage of not only my PVR, but also this machine and the TV.
Easy - press Guide, and up comes the electronic programme guide (EPG). Pick the programmes by scrolling down and across the listings. Each one that's selected takes you through to another screen where you can either just press OK again or make adjustments. The only one I'd bother with is to check the 'Series Link' box if it's available, thereby ensuring that any further episodes are catered for. Unlike the 'Every Week' option in previous PVRs and set top boxes, this one cancels itself once the series ends. This is a new feature to Freeview although not to Sky and it narrows the gap between terrestrial PVRs and the Sky+ box. You can also set the machine to 'EPG Link' which ensures that the latest timings are used shortly before the next recording.
Recording quality is user-selectable although the default of 'SP' - standard play, yielding 70 hours of recording seems fine. I've also set the machine to lessen the quality automatically as the disk fills, which in past experience it won't.
Even easier - press the Title List button and you're presented with a list of either the last four or last eight recordings, which be scrolled down further. The four-title option is great since it shows four thumbnail movie screens, one for each programme, and plays short snatches of them from strategic points in the programme to help you confirm your selection. Like most things 'digital', the playback is indistinguishable from the original; well at standard record quality it is. Some of the more 'economic' quality settings start to get a bit grainy. I'd say that if you've any inkling to archive programmes to DVD you shouldn't venture below standard quality. In any case, you've still got 70 hours of capacity before you have to start getting rids of titles.
Since my other PVR routes through this box, I can also copy over recordings from the former's hard drive to the latter's. "Why?" I hear you ask. So I can edit out the adverts and other undesirables, and then commit it (and maybe several other episodes) to DVD, that's why.
I've plugged my digital camera in and copied over 286 jpeg files, and then run a slide show. There doesn't seem any way to rotate certain photos through 90 degrees, so make sure they are all landscapes!
I've created a back up of certain recorded programmes onto a DVD-R, the end result having equal quality to the original.
I've played and copied a CD to hard drive. Annoyingly, this does NOT 'rip' the files into mp3 format, so an 80 minute CD can use about 1/200th of my disk space just for the privilege of laying my hands on its tracks quickly. You can of course download whole CD-ROMs of mp3 files, and at least this way, the track names aid navigation unlike 'track 1 of disk 1' as you'd get with a real copy of a CD.
I've transferred mp3 files from my Zen to the Sony via the USB lead.
I can't yet dub from my camcorder - stuck at first base by having the right kind of kit but the wrong lead!
This machine accepts all manner of recorded video media, including the popular DivX format.
The actual recording media list has now been tweaked to accept 'dual layer' DVD+ and DVD-R disks, and their rewritable equivalents.
Even the rare DVD-RAM can be played back but not recorded.
Those in possession of some other decoder box (mainly in places where Canal Plus is available) can use a different EPG called Guide+ to programme the other box's recordings to the Sony's hard drive. They give you an infra-red adapter which you place strategically over the decoder's front panel, so that starting it, selecting its channel and stopping it can be done by the Sony coinciding with its setting its own hard drive to record from the SCART lead (i.e what's on the decoder).
It's at times like this you realise why it needs a 172-page manual!
As with most other hard-drive solutions for Freeview, you can 'Pause Live TV'. You can also watch a previous recording whilst recording something else - you just can't watch something else live, that's all.
Most notably there's that 'single tuner' thing. Under no circumstances should anyone with only an analogue TV regard this as their introduction to Freeview, without perhaps buying another (cheap) set top box too.
Despite the HDMI output, it's not HD and never will be. There are faint whisperings that this MAY be on its way via Freeview, but if you waited for what's just round the corner every time, you'd still be listening to London 2LO through a crystal set.
Out of the box, it's a Region 2 DVD player only, but I'm working on it! (There is a very complicated key sequence that you can try to input, or you can rent a special remote for £20, but I'd be loath to do this whilst it's under warranty)
If you've a poor Freeview reception, don't expect this to cure it - Sony digital tuners have a good reputation, but they can't work miracles; sort your aerial out first before committing to spending 200 smackers.
It's a trifle noisier than I'm used to - maybe nowhere near as much as a desk-top PC but comparisons to my Topfield PVR show it up a bit. It's not helped by the fact that hard drive noise is added to by that of a cooling fan.
It has no slot for a subscription card, so TopUpTV et al can go whistle. Maybe this should be filed under 'Advantages'.
172 pages of instructions - need I say more?
1 Freeview tuner, one analogue tuner
160 gigabyte hard drive (approx 70 hours at Standard, but up to 455 hours are possible if you don't mind looking at grainy pictures!).
DVD Recorder/Region 2 Player, accepts DVD- and +R disks including dual layered.
Front panel has connections for USB devices (Jpeg files on a stick, mp3 players), iLink camcorders, and Pictbridge printers. A third AV (line 3) connection can be used for analogue connections (from a non-iLink camcorder or VCR maybe).
Rear connections include a SCART-IN, a SCART-OUT, S-Video socket, stereo phono plugs, an HDMI socket, two aerial-in and two aerial-out sockets, separate red green and blue phono sockets for progressive scan TV output and a coaxial digital output for both Dolby Digital and DTS sound.
Most importantly, it carries the official 'Digital Tick' mark of approval. Pity is doesn't carry an 'analogue cross' too, so they'd have room (given the inclination) to put that second tuner in it
For something that's also going to replace my errant DVD player, what it does sounds good value at £200 (Tescos are asking £249, phnaaaah, phnaaah!)
I can at last make DVDs of not only TV programmes that are worth keeping, but I can dust off my camcorder and edit those bloody MiniDV tapes to DVDs finally!
Who knows, I may start taking it on holiday again? Oh nooooo!!!!
p.s I've given this an excellent rating, but only because I knew the limitations in advance.

Emma {2009} What I love most about the 2009 Emma is that she and Harriet act exactly as I would imagine two young women, just approaching adulthood, would act, even in the 21st century. They are giggly and goofy and they make mistakes and take the wrong advice, even if its their own. They are imperfect, and that is the beauty of Jane Austen.
of course I love Emma! What kind of austenite would I be if I didn't! :D
"Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence. ... The real evils of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself."

PASSING through huddled and ugly walls
By doorways where women
Looked from their hunger-deep eyes,
Haunted with shadows of hunger-hands,
Out from the huddled and ugly walls,
I came sudden, at the city's edge,
On a blue burst of lake,
Long lake waves breaking under the sun
On a spray-flung curve of shore;
And a fluttering storm of gulls,
Masses of great gray wings
And flying white bellies
Veering and wheeling free in the open

Lost my best garage buddy
I lost my best garage buddy yesterday. It appears he may have gotten into anti-freeze somewhere. It was not a pretty site when I found him. The vet did all that they could but could not save him.This is a cat that showed up 10 years ago and stayed ever since. No matter what you were doing he was right there with you. Always rubbing, trying to help. As soon as you would sit down he was right there.If you were having a bad day he seemed to know and would listen to your problems. He was also a great friend to everyone. He will be sadly missed. As a warning to everyone...if you have any toxins around, anti-freeze, rat poison, etc, make sure your pets cannot get to it. I did not have anything around, but he must have gotten into something in the neighborhood.
man that sucks, sorry for your loss.
a cat is about the only good pet to have in my opinion (they don't slobber on you or want a bite of everything your eatting)
i remember back when i was about 13.
my dad used to leave to go to work though the garage. he would just push the button and let the door close. well, he came home one evening and found our best little furry friend, crushed by the garage door and was very torn up about it. we all cried and loved on her (puddy tat) for hours on in. but i can't get this picture out of my mind of my dad walking back and forth holding that cat crying his eyes out. you know dads arn't suppost to cry, but that day he did and i did too.
since then we use man power to open that big heavy ***** garage door and will for the rest of our lives.
now we have 3 cats, but only 1 that i clame, her name is Fat Cat. she came to us all scronny and pregnent; we nursed her back to health and since then she has been the best cat (the alley cats always are the best cats).
anywho, just rambling. sorry for your loss again.
sorry about your buddy.
i have a kitty you can have.....
she showed up at work one nite, all messed up, favoring one front leg.... she looked like she'd been thrown out of a moving car, or run over..... L front leg maimed, elbow open to the bone..... called my wife to come get this pooor kitty...... carried the cat out to the car, when we got close, she tried the clawed climb up my shoulder onto my head..... i pried her off of my head, and threw her into the car..... she ran around the glass, front, side, rear, front again, three times, then she stopped all hunkered up on the front dash.... green eyes afire, hissing like all get out.... got her home.... got her fed.... took her to the vet, unless we want to spend major money on surgery, he'd leave that leg alone,as she gets around just fine without it..... (think tri-pod.) now, she's a mean **** devil cat. i'd be happy to box her butt up and send her u.p.s. to you Kev. more than happy...
did i ever tell you the story about my buddy killing off marvin phillips's goats? or was it melvin phillips? anywhoo, they were some dead **** goats....
im sorry to hear about your loss, that's terrible. i have 5 cats, 3 were rescued from the gas chamber. sometimes they are a pain but i couldn't help myself. my friend has a big garage full of engines and hundreds of parts. his cat, Rambo is by his side no matter what. that thing is fearless. no matter what is being done, grinding, drilling, hammering, whatever, Rambo is right there supervising the operation. when welding is being done, he has to be locked out, with great protest to protect his eyes. my friend is a real loner and my girlfriend gave Rambo to him as a kitten and now they're like a team, always together. never saw a cat act like a loyal dog before. i think now, after reading your post, i will warn him about the dangers like anti-freeze and other poisons as his garage is pretty cluttered. never think of these things until it's too late.

Sorry you lost your kitty Kevin. Its really hard when you've had them that long and they aren't there anymore. My old kitty - Radar - used to sleep in my bed every night, after 12 years of a cat sleeping in my bed, it felt empty when she was gone.
Sorry to hear about the loss Kev. I never really had a garage companion. My girlfriend tries to help me out from time to time on the Mustang, but only ends up causing more work and frustration for me.
I'd love to get a pet someday to keep me company, ease the stress, and just have something always there to chill with. I'm sure you have some fond memories of you and your little friend. My sympathies.
Sorry to hear about you kitty Kevin, we have 2....
One is 18 months & the other is 11 months (he weighs 19lbs!)
Don't know what we would do if we lost em....
Funny as hell watching em re-enact the fight scene from The Matrix a couple of times a day tho....
Sorry to hear about your Buddy!
Pets can be the absolute best. They don't judge you and are always around for you. If you treat them right, they will be by your side no matter what. Most are better than people some of the time. I've wished I was with my dog than some of the jerks I've run into in my time.
If I lost my rotti (Fozzy), I don't know how I would be. She loves me if I'm clean or full of grease, sitting or standing, awake or nappin', but, she loves me best when I have food!
Sorry again, Kev.
Sorry about your cat Kevin.
A few years ago, there was this cat that showed up in my backyard one spirng (looked a lot like yours too). At first it just stayed away from me. I couldn't get it to come to me. He would hunt the moles in my back yard, which I thouroughly appreciated.
I enen sat out there with some tuna in my hand trying to coax it to me. He just wouldn't warm up to me. Then when fall came, he just suddenly came up on the back deck and pawed on the sliding glass door. I was a little hesitant to let him in, cause I was afraid he'd start spraying my furniture. Well I took a chance and let him in. He walked in like he owned the place, and never did spray. I went out and bought him a litter box and took him in for shots etc. He became "my best garage buddy". He never even used the litter box or mess in the house. He would just meow at the door and I'd let him out. He slept with me, kept my neck warm and followed me wherever I went. I just called him "Cat".
One time we were just sitting in the front yard soakin up the sun, when we both spotted another cat. A big yeller one. A lot bigger than mine. Well my cat took off after it. They ran off into the woods and I could hear them screaming and fighting, and I could see the trees and bushes shaking, then it stopped. I got kinda scared and went looking for my cat, cause the other one was a lot bigger. I looked for about a half hour, but couldn't find him. When I came out of the woods he was just laying on the front porch licking his paws. He was a little ******. So that's what I named him. Never saw the yeller one again.
He stayed with me all winter, then spring came, I let him out one morning like usual, but he never came back. I figure he either fell in love, or a car or the coyotes got him. I don't know. I still miss that cat. And I normally don't even like cats. I know how ya feel Kevin.
Sorry for your loss. You really get attached to the little hairballs, it's tough losing one. We currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats and the oldest dog is really starting to show his age. I'm afraid there's another sad day coming for our house down the road.
It's so tough to lose a pet....our kitty has been with us since before the kids (he's almost 12 now) and I really can't picture a day when he's not around. See Chuck's avatar for a pic. The kids are so attached (especially 3-yr old Sarah) I fear the hysterics that will follow when he passes. Good thing housecats live a long time.
Maybe one day you will be lucky enough to find another friend who enjoys hanging out in the garage with you as much as your favorite furball did. What a face, he looks like he had character.
P.S. I should also add that our kitty has several nicknames (some not so flattering). Tinky, 'Bo (short for Rambo), Furrytoes, Mr. Fur and most famous of all "rocketbum"....don't ask...
im sorry.. youll find another friend sometime..
he wont replace the lost u have.. but he will have apart of your lost with him..
Thanks all for the kind words. Tom had a personality like no other. Most of the time he acted like a dog. Walking around the yard with you. He was always there. I think the biggest thing is wondering what or where he got into something. I have walked around our property numerous times looking to see if it was something that I had done. He usually didn't venture very far as we live in the country so it had to be at one of a couple neighbors. That combined with the fact he was only out maybe 2 hours. And most of that time was spent sitting at the back door wanting in the house. I keep wanting to call the neighbors but on the other hand if someone put something out to kill something else or did it on purpose it is probably better not to know. Things happen and I just hope it was an accident. He will be sadly missed, and the garage is lonely and empty now. But they say cats have 9 lives so I hope the next family he comes in contact with, he will enrich their lives as much as he did ours.
Kevin, I'm real sorry to hear about your loss! I've grown up with cats as well, got 2 of them now. Pets become such a part of the family, it's tough to see them depart. He looks just like my cat "Meow" Once again, sorry for your loss!
Sorry to hear about your bud. Pets are similar to people sometimes. You never realize how much they affected you until they are gone. Makes me think about my puppy(125lb rottwieler). I should toss the ball for him an extra 5 minutes once in a while. He lives to chase the ball.

Word of Mouth blog + Vegetarian food and drink
The once-unfancied brassica has usurped kale as the hipster vegetable of choice. No wonder: it is endlessly versatile and makes a great centrepiece
It's a summer favourite, but do you bake or fry the aubergines? Are tinned tomatoes acceptable? And is it best served with ricotta salata, parmesan or pecorino?
This Punjabi potato and cauliflower curry is now a prized dish across India and Pakistan. But for the best texture, should the potatoes be waxy or floury? And which spices bring out its comforting warmth?
It is north India and Pakistan's greatest street food – but how do you recreate this intensely savoury potato snack at home?
Do you use grits, cornmeal or polenta; cook them in stock, milk or water; and add garlic, onion or chilli? Can grits ever be too cheesy – and are they best with bacon for breakfast or shrimp for supper?
Felicity Cloake: Is a veggie version of an offal dish an abomination – or infinitely preferable to the real thing? And if you don't like haggis, which other Scottish specialities will you be serving up on Burns Night?
Felicity Cloake: Shortcrust, cheesy or plain pastry, crumbly or creamy cheese, how do you cook the onions – and does it need spuds and sauce?
Spanish people have a reputation as diehard meat eaters. But in recent years, as the number of vegan or vegetarian restaurants in Spain has doubled, there are signs of change, writes Trevor Baker
Hilary Wardle: My partner and I are getting married and we don't eat meat. The first venues we contacted were either evasive, obstructive or downwright rude. Is it really so hard to offer vegan and vegetarian party food?
Are oatcakes delicious or dull, what do you top them with – and is it worth making your own? Felicity Cloake finds the perfect recipe
Felicity Cloake: Can a veggie version rival lasagne alla bolognese, do you use one vegetable or a range, should they be chunky or pureed – and how cheesy is too cheesy?
Chefs used to be intolerant of 'alternative' menus, but they have begun to realise the importance of catering for different diners. Some are even pitching healthier dishes for older people
Felicity Cloake: It's a classic vegetarian Indian restaurant dish that's quick and easy to make. But do you like yours wet or dry? And is frozen spinach ever acceptable?
Felicity Cloake: Are vegetarian sausages ever as good as their meaty counterparts, and is there a better veggie variety than the cheese- and leek-filled glamorgan?
Felicity Cloake: Can anything beat Heinz, is there any better toast topping and can anyone explain what beans are doing in a fry-up?
Tony Naylor: Do you grill it or bake it? Eat the rind or daintily peel it off? Drizzle it in honey and balsamic? Or pair it with its brethren, beetroot and red onion?
Sue Quinn: UK sales of non-dairy alternatives have risen by 40% in the last three years, but are they any competition for the real thing?
Katy Salter: Why are supplies of chèvre running so low, and whatever will vegetarians eat until the situation is resolved?
Can another member of the fritter family beat the onion bhaji, do you eat them as a starter or a snack, and what do you serve with them?
Felicity Cloake: Is this delicious smoky dip the ultimate aubergine recipe – and which side of the great tahini divide are you on?
Glasgow has been heralded as the best city in the world for vegans, but where are the best nations for travellers on a meat-free diet?
Felicity Cloake: Can bean burgers ever compete with their meaty equivalents, and if not, which vegetarian option would you rather have at a barbecue?
The sun is out, the drinks are on ice. Yes, it's time to fire up the barbie and try out one of our experts' perfect barbecue recipes
Felicity Cloake: Ignore the anaemic stuff in supermarkets – true watercress is a pungent British delicacy best showcased in a light summer soup. So what's the ideal way to prepare one?
Felicity Cloake: There's much more to outdoor eating than drizzly carparks and soggy sandwiches. As the weather finally brightens up, follow these tips for a successful al fresco feast
Frederika Whitehead: China, like many countries, still hasn't fully embraced the idea of vegetarianism – but one foodie in Shanghai is now offering expert help
After struggling to find food she can eat on a trip to China, one desperate vegetarian gets some help from a local foodie
Felicity Cloake: Brighten up your bleak February evenings with a touch of stodgy Mediterranean magic
What change does McDonald's newest initiative herald? Burger all, says Adharanand Finn

American League
PG Draft LIVE! Pick Tracker
2013 PG Draft Preview Content
Another draft is in the books, and while we're only a day removed from the process, it is time to take an early look as to how the teams fared.
As part of a two-part series (American/National League) I'm going to provide a quick synopsis of six National League teams that at first glance look to have done a good job in the 2013 MLB Draft
. Frankie Piliere has done the same for the
American League
Arizona Diamondbacks
Rumors leading right up until the draft itself indicated that the Diamondbacks may have been leaning toward Fresno State slugger Aaron Judge after he put on an impressive display of power in front of Arizona's brass as part of a pre-draft workout. However, when Nevada righthander Braden Shipley fell in their lap they couldn't resist taking the emerging fire-baller.
Shipley is a converted infielder with an athletic frame and easy, repeatable delivery. His secondary stuff continues to improve as his fastball sits in the low- to mid-90s. The D-Backs followed their pick of Shipley with another power-armed righty from college in Marshall's Aaron Blair. Blair's overall repertoire is more polished than Shipley's at this point in time, and he too can dial his fastball up to the mid-90s, touching a few ticks higher on occasion.
After loading up on a pair of power arms the Diamondbacks turned their attention to a pair of power bats in Justin Williams and Daniel Palka in the third and fourth rounds. Matt McPhearson, their fifth rounder, has the best speed of any drat eligible player, and has promise at the plate as well.
Athletic outfielder Dane McFarland (12) and college lefthander Steve Hathaway (14) stand out among the team's picks after the 10
New York Mets
The Mets targeted upside with their first four picks, taking a quartet of high school players. Hard hitting first baseman Dominic Smith, arguably the most dynamic pure hitter of the 2013 draft class, was the first of these picks. Smith's affable personality in addition to his talents could allow him to become an embraced star in New York, and his polished approach and lefthanded swing could allow him to advance quickly to the big leagues.
Emerging hard throwing righthander Andrew Church, athletic outfielder Ivan Wilson and ultra-projectable righthander Casey Meisner were the teams next three picks.
After the third round the Mets switched gears and targeted players from the college level that may not have the upside as their prep counterparts, but have a proven track record for success. Infielders L.J. Mazzilli (4) and Matt Oberste (7), outfielders Jared King (5) and Patrick Biondi (9) and righthander Ricky Knapp (8) all could be poised to enjoy immediate success in the lower levels of the minor leagues, and could also be promoted aggressively.
Slick fielding prep shortstop Luis Guillorme (10) has already signed with the team, and the Mets took some interesting arms in the later rounds including John Magliozzi (17), Dan Herrmann (20), Daniel Procopio (22) and Ricky Jacquez (25).
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies have placed a high premium on dynamic athletes in recent years, and continued that preference this year with several of their early picks.
PG All-American shortstop J.P. Crawford was one of the most well-rounded athletes available in this year's draft, with promise both at the plate, defensively up the middle of the infield and on the basepaths. He has just started to recognize his power potential from the left-side of the plate.
Fellow PG All-American outfielder Cord Sandberg was considered a draft wildcard given his two-sport talents as a promising quarterback recruit. The Phillies quickly announced that they had signed Sandberg ending any speculation that he may be headed to college to pursue both sports.
Infielder Jan Hernandez (3), catcher Jake Sweaney (4) and outfielders Jason Monda (6) and Justin Parr (8) continued to show the team's preference for high ceiling athletes, while Trey Williams (7) is one of the most polished hitters from the junior college ranks.
The team continued to add some intriguing athletes past the 10
round and it will be interesting to see how aggressively they try to sign another pair of PG All-Americans in Joey Martarano (13), who also is a two-sport star with a college commitment to play linebacker for Boise State, and Cavan Biggio (29).
Lefthanders Ben Wetzler (5), Denton Keys (11) and righthander Dan Child (18) stand out among the pitchers they selected.
Pittsburgh Pirates
With one of the most impressive collections of arms at the minor league level, it was no secret that the Pirates were intent on adding a pair of promising position prospects with their two first round picks. The first of which was Austin Meadows, selected with their compensatory pick after they were unable to sign Mark Appel a year ago. Meadows has five-tool potential with an exciting blend of power and speed, and he could become a fixture in the Pirates' outfield alongside another former PG All-American, Andrew McCutchen.
Catcher Reese McGuire was the second of their two first rounders, one of the most well-rounded backstops to be drafted in recent years. His refined defensive prowess will allow him to advance as quickly as his powerful left-handed swing allows.
Other position prospects taken among their early picks include infielders JaCoby Jones (3), Trae Arbet (5) and Adam Frazier (6). Jones could move to the outfield after an impressive career at LSU, Arbet has exciting upside as an offensive-minded second baseman, while Frazier is one of the most polished defenders to come out of this year's draft.
Lefthander Cody Dickson (4) and righthanders Buddy Borden (7) and Shane Carle (10) give the Pirates a trio of power arms from the college level to supplement their already deep pitching talent.
It will be interesting to see if the Pirates are able to sign either prep outfielder Nick Buckner (14) and/or prep righthander Billy Roth (16), and if they do it will strengthen an already strong draft class.
San Diego Padres
After loading up on arms a year ago, with arguably the most impressive collection of pitchers in the lower levels of the minor leagues, the Padres turned their attention to bats this year.
The first of which came in the form of Mississippi State outfielder Hunter Renfroe, whose production at the plate this year reflected his loud tools. For as good of a hitter as Renfroe is, with exciting power potential, his right arm is his best pure tool, making him a perfect fit for right field with the requisite power/power profile.
Prep positional players Dustin Peterson (2), Jordan Paroubeck (2s), Mason Smith (4) and Josh VanMeter (5) all offer a variety of tools between Peterson's power, VanMeter's versatility and the natural athleticism of Paroubeck and Smith.
Their sixth round pick, Kentucky closer Trevor Gott, could ascend quickly toward San Diego to give them yet another bullpen arm to contend with. And while none of Connor Jones (21), Chris Okey (31) and Garrett Williams (33) are considered signable given the rounds they were drafted, if the Padres find a way to sign any of the three it would be considered a major coup.
St. Louis Cardinals
Immediately after the Cardinals selected prep lefthander Rob Kaminsky in the supplemental first round, the prevailing sentiment among the Perfect Game staff was that it was a pick that epitomized an organization that consistently makes sounds decisions in all aspects of their baseball operations.
Kaminsky's selection (compensation for free agent Kyle Lohse) came after their true first rounder, another lefthander in the form of Marco Gonzales, who also doubled as a first baseman in three years playing for Gonzaga. Gonzales and Kaminsky are both among the most polished at the college and high school levels, and could be among the first of their class to reach the big leagues. Gonzales will do so on the strength of his pitchability and changeup, while Kaminsky will do so with his impressive command of his fastball and hammer curve.
Slick fielding shortstop Oscar Mercado was the team's pick in the second round, and the Cardinals added another PG All-American infielder in Chris Rivera in the seventh. Canadian infielder Malik Collymore (10) gives the team a third prep infielder with exciting potential.
LSU first baseman Mason Katz and Missouri State righthander Nick Petree have been among the most productive players at the college level the past three years, while another prep lefthander, Ian McKinney, also has the polish to move toward the big leagues quickly.
Prep righthander Steven Farinaro (11) and junior college righty Blake Higgins (16) are among the most notable prospects among the team's picks after the 10

Despite the midcaps seeing a bounce in the Indian equity market today, Gautam Sinha Roy, vice-president, Motilal Oswal continues his cautious stance on the stocks. He says just a one day bounce back is too little to convince him on the fallen midcap names.
Last week saw a dramatic fall in the share prices of about a dozen mid-cap stocks on the same day. Shares of Eros International, ABG Shipyard, Welspun Corp, Orbit Corp, Opto Circuits, Aanjaneya Lifecare had been battered on the street due to heavy selling.
However, Roy expects MCX to make a strong comeback in the market. Justifying his bullish stance, Roy says, "We have seen Commodities Transaction Tax (CTT) being introduced and that hangover is now already in the price. Going forward, it should discount the fundamentals for the company that continue to be very strong in a better way."
Below is the edited transcript of Roy's interview to CNBC-TV18.
Q: It has been a good run for the market today. However, what sort of correlation are you spotting with the Indian market as well as the globe at this point in time? With the Dow sitting very close to a second record high, how much of an incremental increase could we see for our market?
A: That is a very pertinent point. We have seen Indian market and other emerging markets being more of a risk-on trade in the last four to five years. So, whenever we have seen a risk rally happening, Indian market has been participating ahead of many other markets. We are seeing the same thing now too. Last week we had seen risk-off kind of trade happening with the US Dow rallying there. We saw Indian market taking a beating. Volatility rose and even other asset classes have seen a fall because of this kind of a trade. So, that correlation is very strong. We expect that to remain and that would be one of the key macro-drivers of trading in India going forward too.
Q: What are your views on the midcap carnage we saw last week?
A: Thankfully most of the stocks that we like have not been affected so much by the carnage in the last week, but the very fact that volatility has bounced back makes us more cautious in choosing our stocks. So, that is why we have been sticking more to large cap quality names.
However, one stock that could bounce back could be MCX, because we have seen Commodities Transaction Tax (CTT) being introduced and that hangover is now already in the price. Going forward, it should discount the fundamentals for the company, which continue to be very strong in a better way.
That is one stock we would be more positive post the carnage. However, other than that, I do not think that just because of a one day bounce back we will suddenly become more bullish about most of these midcap names which have fallen.

Publisher's Clearing House Calls? Be Aware They're Phony
Mean ol' people are calling folks in the Owensboro area to rob them of their money. The scam involves Publisher's Clearing House. Of course, the Publisher's Clearing House runs a ton of TV ads, so folks are more vulnerable to the claim. Owensboro Police Department says the caller tells the victim they've won money in the company's cash contest. Then, they ask for money to be withdrawn from their bank account. The number originates from a 876 area code. So, be aware they're phony.

They arn't even the same word so it doesn't matter. Also who cares about the name? It matters about half as much as how you actually write it.

Designed Landscapes in Queensland, 1859-1939: experimentation - adaptation - innovation
Sim, Jean C. R. (1999) Designed Landscapes in Queensland, 1859-1939: experimentation - adaptation - innovation. Queensland University of Technology.
The conservation of historic cultural landscapes in Queensland is in its infancy. Effective conservation practice, however is based on sound historical information, and no previous study has investigated the historical development of local parks, gardens and other landscapes. The objectives of this research were to examine the factors which influenced landscape design in Queensland, to identify the forms and expressions of design derived from these influences, and to identify any distinctive aspects related to local landscape character. The timeframe chosen for this investigation was from the beginning of the separate colony of Queensland (1859) to the outbreak of World War 2 (1939). Using historical method, the research began with an exploration of published primary sources (particularly garden literature from the 1860s to 1930s) related to Queensland and other 'tropical' areas. A series of hypotheses was proposed to explain the findings, and these were tested by further analysis and data gathering. There followed a triple-layered central proposition, suggesting that: (i) in Queensland, the traditional delineation of styles to describe landscape design is of limited application because of the lack of elite professional designers and wealthy clients; (ii) there developed a discernible 'tropical landscape design character' in suitable climatic areas, which included two distinct visual aspects expressed in the landscape (the 'exotic' and the 'prosaic'); and, (iii) these design outcomes were the result of a design process of 'acclimatisation' experienced by early settlers (gardeners and designers) working in unfamiliar lands and climates, and includes the stages of experimentation, adaptation and innovation.
