By the end, she's growling, her eyes deranged, her body dripping, a hundred points of red smearing. Like her mascara, the way it runs like blood. Bound upon her back on a metal grate, her ankles tight to her thighs, her labia rings are tied outward. A hook from her cunt is tied to her nose, forcing her head up, an incredible strain. As he torments her with the point of his knife, her skin is milky, perfect. A fine film of sweat bathes her face. By this time her cunt is dripping. But as time passes, he breaks her down. He slaps her. He suffocates her with a plastic bag. She sobs, gasping for air. With a tube taped to the bag, he jams the other end over her pussy. He lights up a cigar and blows in smoke. She coughs and chokes. On her back again with her wrists and ankles shackled above her head. Two cigar cases – one tied in her cunt, the other in her ass. A plastic "funnel" forces her mouth wide. Cigar burns line the back of her thighs, the bottoms of her feet. The lit end of the cigar fucks the tube in her cunt, then up and down in her ass. Ashes drop into her mouth. Yes, she's distressed. Yes, she's starting to unravel. The cigar is dropped into her cunt tube, lit end out, slowly burning down. cyd seems pleased, confident. cyd is ready to have his fun. AZ's body is filled with needles, chest, back, hands, arms, and legs. Seventy-five needles times two - end in, end out. The needles are tied to fiberglass rods, bent forward, pulling at her skin, keeping her immobilized. AZ growls and moans – a distraught form of mantra. A cattle prod takes aim at her skin. Her eyes freeze in place. "No please," she says, very quiet, as though not to disturb, as though any noise at all could start her screaming. He forces her to plead, "Please shock me once." And after the one shock, he bargains for more. Five shocks will reduce her time spent in the needles from two hours to thirty minutes. Is she rational now? When the body has gone mad, where is reason? She accepts his offer.

AOL has merged a few of its Patch-branded local news blogs into bigger blogs that cover wider areas, AdAge's Jason Del Rey reports.
If the mergers work, AOL will do more a Patch spokesperson told Del Ray.
Good. It's been pretty clear for a while now – to us, to AOL shareholders, and to AOL employees – that Patch has been a waste of AOL's money.

Name: 花澤香菜のひとりでできるかな?
Host: Hanazawa Kana
Date: 2011.02.29
I'm really behind with a lot of radio shows ever since flying off to Japan but I did at least manage to keep up to date with HitoKana <3
– Kana hearing about Taketatsu Ayana's new photobook name on her Hitori de Dekiru Kana #109.
Kana: *Reading mail from a listener* "…Taketatsu Ayana's new photobook called "AYANA" is about to be released–" *gasp* Hold on a moment… "Ayana" in the english alphabet?!? *laughs hysterically* WHAT? Seriously?! Could this be a rip off of "KANA"? *laughs* Stop it Taketatsu!
*Goes back to reading the mail* "…It's obvious that she's keeping your title in mind with the name, in opposition you should release a second photobook! Please have the producer for that photo book be Hiyocchi–" No way! It'll turn into something terrible!
*Continues reading* "Keep on doing your best, farewell" Thank you. That's amazing. Ayachi's photobook is called "AYANA" *laughs* Uwaah and I just met with her today. I didn't get to tease her about it *laughs* That's interesting!
But seriously, photobooks are difficult, thinking up what kind of name to use as the title. I guess having your name in the english alphabet is a safe choice though. But it'll be different to my photobook. Seeing a different side of Ayachi. It'll definitely be cute. Cute. I bet she'll be wearing a swimsuit! I want to see that…
I was so amused upon hearing that Ayana's photobook was named "AYANA" as well. I guess it's not uncommon now that I think about it though, Tomatsu Haruka's first photobook was called "HARUKAS" as well wasn't it heh.
– Listener sends in mail talking about always wanting to stay up at night but never wanting to wake up in the morning.
Kana: I know what you mean… There's not enough time at night! I wonder why you're able to stay awake doing nothing important at night?? *laughs* Even though you have to get up early the next morning! *laughs* I wonder why… You're pretty much able to stay up forever! *laughs* Forever! Staying near the heater, watching TV. Maybe it's the TV's fault! You just keep watching it… Late night programs sure are interesting aren't they? *laughs* And then the mornings! They're so cold and that makes it hard to get up! But I'd say I'm actually more of a morning person than most. If I set an alarm clock I'll normally get up. But I know that feeling of not wanting to get up because it's so cold. Twenty four hours in a day seriously isn't enough time!
I know the feeling orz.

§ 7 Responses to Hanazawa Kana no Hitori de Dekiru Kana? #109"
Hmm…. never heard Hanazawa's solo radio before. Might wait for a guest to come before trying since I always find solo radio much more boring when there's no guest coming. BTW, has there been any male seiyuu guesting on Hito Kana in past episode?
A little off topic : Ambi, have you listened to the latest danshi koukosei radio? Hikasa is guesting in the show and the combination between her and Sugita is quite wild lol. Hikasa unexpectedly has a very loud voice isn't she? Really looking forward to Hanazawa and Sugita combi in the next inu boku radio
Hanazawa-san, don't know how do all nighters feel when they wake up so early in the morning. XD
And my comment in the aiueo123 post, what!! O.O Oh ambi can you please please please post about that radio show, I was really waiting for that combination since I started watching danshi koukosei nichijou!! AWWW!! XD Got to listen to it in nicovideo.. XD
you can listen to it for free on animate.tv too. It's the official site for listening to several anime related radio and you can listen to 2 or 3 backnumber of that particular radio too.
Just like ambi said, Danshi Nichijou radio is not structured like normal radio shows(they even mention it in the show about this) and basically just a conversation between the personality and the guest with listener's mail as the catalyst. They once spend 2 episode for making a gunpla while chatting and in one episode with Suzumura Kenichi as a guest, they spend half the episode talking about ultraman and the bad guy in it lol. It's a fun listen for a 20 minutes radio show though.
Well,I already finished listening to it from their website,thank you ambi and aiueo123. Its okay if you can't translate it ambi, I do understand it, I little though.. :D

2 pounds lean ground beef
3/4 cup wheat germ
2 eggs
1/2 cup half-and-half (we used milk because it is what we had)
2 Tbs. minced onion
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dried marjoram or oregano
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
8 hamburger buns
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, wheat germ, eggs, half-and-half, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, marjoram and thyme. Shape into 8 patties. (I usually make 12)
Grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 150 degrees. Place a slice of cheese on top during the last 2 minutes of cooking, if desired.
I had this groovy idea to cut a smiley face with a toothpick out of the slice of cheese and serve the burger open face so the kids see that the burger is friendly. :0) Seemed like a good idea anyway. I zapped it for a few seconds in the microwave, though, and I think I let the cheese melt a little too much, until it was a scary, droopy face. I made a heart for my darling husband and wrote I love you in ketchup on his.My new idea is to let the kids (if they are old enough) cut their own faces out and then it doesn't matter if it looks scary or not, because it is their creation. Another idea (again, if your kids are old enough) would be to give each child a toothpick, and ask your kids to make a face out of their cheese that represents how they are feeling that day, opening up the discussion, with the follow up question, "and why did you choose that face today?"
There will be a giveaway coming up shortly that will also open up conversations at you dinner table. Stay tuned for that one.
Side note: I used my leftover cheese on my cheeseburger, since I don't care what mine looks like. (Just an idea to use up that extra cheese)

Review: Few hitches in Curtain Call show
Count 'em, four doors and two other entrances (set by Laura S. Brignull), and if they don't exactly spell farce, they do imply the amusing potential of close calls.
And "amusing" is the right word to describe Lewis Black's "One Slight Hitch," now in a fine production at Curtain Call Theatre.
In fact, the first close call occurs early on, when father-of-the-bride Doc Coleman (Jack Fallon) slams the front door in the face of the bride-to-be's former boyfriend, Ryan (David Cerutti), who appears unexpectedly on the wedding day. Now there's a hitch, a hitch that might prevent Courtney Coleman (Erin Waterhouse) from getting hitched to Harper (Kevin Gardner, a superb last-minute replacement for another actor).
'One Slight Hitch'
WHERE: Curtain Call Theatre, 210 Old Loudon Road, Latham
WHEN: Through Oct. 5
MORE INFO: 877-7529 or www.curtaincalltheatre.com
Soon, Ryan, who fancies himself a 1980s Jack Kerouac, is hiding — in partial skivvies — from one family member or another: Courtney; her sisters, Melanie (Kristin Van Steemburg) and P.B. (Carolyn Shields); and Mrs. Coleman (Barbara Richards), whose hopes for the day's wedding would, if she were asked, trump her hopes for world peace. However, by the end of Act I, everyone knows Ryan is in the house.
This being a comedy, everything turns out, though Black makes something more serious of Courtney's final decision than I think he has prepared us for. He has also saddled Doc with a rather dumb scene at the front door.
But there are funny one-liners, sight gags and stereotypes (sarcastic sibling with a drinking problem, preoccupied Mom, earnest fiancé vs. dippy former beau, and put-upon Dad) to make the evening a pleasant diversion.
The cast works hard, and occasionally it shows. On Friday night, the stage business wasn't always crisp (Richards at the bathroom door, for example), and a line or two went astray. But as the run progresses, these "slight hitches" will disappear because the ensemble is strong.
In his directorial debut, Gardner keeps the frantic pace up and the occasional tonal shifts clear.
Shields makes P.B. a savvy and winning Virgil, our adolescent guide to the circle of the underworld where wacky families live. Van Steemburg's Melanie gets off zingers with aplomb and anchors a delightful scene in which she makes cocky Ryan squirm. Cerutti delivers on the goofy Ryan, a self-involved charmer who's up for whatever the next moment holds. He and Fallon rev up the show with their energetic first encounter, and he and Gardner duel amusingly as shrink and patient.
The heavy lifting falls to the estimable Richards, whose Delia pops in and out just enough to keep the foolishness going. Richards does, however, shine in a few funny bits in Act II.
Waterhouse is incapable of a false note, almost finding depths where there really aren't any in the script. She, Shields and Van Steemburg have a lovely and credible scene on the couch, a combination of good writing and excellent acting.
And finally, there's CCT favorite Jack Fallon, an actor who throws himself into a role, pounces on it, seizes the moment and risks being completely silly in the service of the comic muse. He's that good.
This show is the first of Curtain Call's 14th season in Latham, a season featuring six regional premieres.

Giant Cupcake
I made this Cute Giant Cupcake recently and I thought some of you might find the progress pictures interesting. It's fairly simple! and no I did no use a Giant cupcake mold or pan for this..
Let me show you how I did it.
So I did not have a Giant Cupcake Pan. You can certainly use one if you have it. I used these two pans.
One is my Wilton 6″ half spear for the top and
The other is a Jelly or Pudding pan I had for the bottom.
Want your customers to enjoy cakes that taste as delicious as they look?
Check out my collections of VAOC Calculated Recipes.
Wondering how much batter you need?
Have no time to calculate your recipes?
Are you sure your recipe will work the same when doubled or tripled?
Don't know how to convert recipes?
Do you need a 4 inch tall cake?
or perhaps a 6" tall cake?
Round or Square cake?
Don't worry - I can help!!
My Tried and Tested recipes are already calculated for your convenience.
I have calculate 15 different size pans for you in each PDF - be it Round or Square & and yes both 4 or 6 inch tall cakes.
So now a single tier or double barrel baking is a piece of cake with my PDFs.
visit Calculate Recipe section Now !
If you do not have any of these – I'd say bake a sheet cake and use various size circle cutters then start from the bottom to top with a small to large circle cutter and
and again bottom to top with a large to small circle cutter again!!!
Make sense? I think it would be best to dowel as well.
So here I skipped to the forward presuming you know how to layer, stack and crumb coat your cakes. If you do not I do have videos showing you how to do all of that. Please check out my videos on how to Level, Tort and Filling a cake.
I used my Basic Vanilla Cake with flavor variations to make my Orange Flavored Cake.
I used my Lemon Curd Cake Filling recipe but make an orange curd instead. Just replaced the lemon with orange juice and orange zest
And my favorite Swiss Meringue Buttercream in Magic Colors Bazooka Pink Gel.
Of Course you can use my Homemade Sugar Recipe which always works great.
So here it is.. all totted, layered, crumb coated and smoothed.
I rolled a long strip of pink fondant. You can use Modeling chocolate too! Measure the height and length so you have enough to go around.
Roll the long strip in to a jelly roll as shown below.
moisten your cake with water so the paste with stick.
Then unroll it onto the cake.
Cut off any excess.
Ensure the paste has adhered to the cake well.
While the paste is fresh and soft, make the impression lines
I used a wooden dowel – u can use two dowels simultaneously to help keep the paste in place.
All I did was press the dowel into the paste.
Join a Cake Decorating School and skip all the trial and errors.
See my reviews here and see which schools I recommend.

An alternate method would be to just pipe lines with buttercream. Let it chill until firm. Then cover with fondant pressing between the buttercream lines to get a nice smooth finish.
Roll some sugar paste into a long sausage as shown. I used the left over of my pink used on the bottom.
Place it on the dome in a spiral as shown below. Make sure it adheres to the buttercream well. If you need chill it for a few minutes so it holds it's place.
Moisten the dome with water.
Roll some light pink fondant and drape over the top.
Use your fingers to gently tease the fondant into the spiral you just attached.
Cut off any excess below.
Now let's sprinkle it up a bit.
This is just various colors of fondant rolled into thin sausages then cut into small pieces to look like sprinkle. Attach with water.
Now let's make the Drip and the cherry!!
The Cherry is just a small ball of red sugar paste – with a stalk made from brown sugarpaste.
The drip is again a long sausage that is unevenly rolled. So it's small and big and all wiggly!! Then attach it to the cupcake.
Voila!! My Giant Cupcake is all ready!!
Well, I do hope you find these progress pictures useful.
Have fun baking !

You can now listen to audio with just one click in Twitter with Audioboom! Thanks Audioboom! You rock!
So, to take advantage of this super feature, I'm answering the first three English vocabulary questions after I tweet, "Primeros 3 Selveros, dime una duda de vocabulario en inglés," or at least something along those lines anyway! 😉
So, here we go! Tonight I received two questions on Twitter from @CsarJohn1 and @delapaaz! One's a two parter, so I'm gonna go with it!
What's the meaning of TOP?
Come on now Cesar! TOP has many meanings! I replied to Cesar asking him for some context, but I didn't hear back from him. It looks like I've just got to redirect you to www.WordReference.com! So, with so many meanings for the word TOP I can't know which one or ones he's referring to. That being said, please be specific and put your question in context if you can.
What's the meaning of HANG UP YOUR SHOES? What about FALL OFF THE BACK OF A LORRY?
Hang it up
HANG UP YOUR SHOES sounds like the American phrasal verb HANG IT UP which means to stop doing something.
My made-up example:
- I'm training to run 5 miles, but I have asthma and I can't even make it one mile. I guess I should just hang it up. I'll never be able to run that far! (to hang it up – t0 stop, to quit, to give up)
Real examples from Twitter:
HANG IT UP in this text means END THE RELATIONSHIP.
HANG IT UP in this context means STOP USING IT.
It's your turn! What does HANG IT UP in this tweet mean?
Fall off the truck
Something that is being sold from an individual so cheap that it must have either fallen off the back of a truck or been stolen. So, when someone says, "It fell off the back of a truck," what they are really saying is, "It's so cheap because it was stolen."
Black Friday, the Friday after Thanksgiving Day, is one of the biggest shopping days of the year when retailers offer consumers big discounts on a few popular items to get them in their store. This guy is saying he can get a TV cheap anytime where he lives since they are stolen and sold cheap often. Therefore, he wants some to find some Jordan shoes at a Black Friday sale. Obviously, Jordans don't fall off the truck every day where he lives!
It's your turn! What does FALL OFF THE TRUCK in this tweet mean?

There comes a time in every person's life (hopefully!) when settling for anything less than perfect becomes intolerable. That time has come for me. The following is a list of commandments for anyone who would seek out an intimate relationship with me. As I am a Rich and Royal Queen, I deserve to have all these needs met. Good luck!
The Commandments, in some sort of order
1) Thou shalt be Real
Because there's nothing less attractive than a liar. Tell the truth of who you are and do it now.
2) Thou shalt be Present
I'm looking for a partner, yo. You best strive to fully occupy the space of now.
3) Thou shalt love and serve God
My primary relationship is with the Divine. If yours is not, we won't have a whole lot to talk about.
4) Thou shalt enjoy time alone
Do you like the company you keep when you're solo? No? Ruhoh!
5) Thou shalt have an active spiritual life and practice
You should probably do some yoga and meditate. You should definitely not be a scientologist.
6) Thou shalt recognize, respect and appreciate the Totality of My Infinite Being
Aren't we all looking for someone who knows us completely and loves us unconditionally?
7) Thou shalt take care of your health (physical, mental, emotional, etc)
You're a grown ass man. I'm not your mom (ew). Feed yourself. Handle your life.
8) Thou shalt be humble enough to ask for help when needed
But of course, if you ask nicely, I'd love to bake you a potpie from scratch. Or return your books* to the library (*see Commandment 19) on my way to work. But a closed mouth doesn't get fed, honey. I'm only a little bit psychic. Ask.
9) Thou shalt have faith and confidence in yourself
The hotness of a man in a well cut suit is second only to the hotness of a man who is living the truth of his worth.
10) Thou shalt be a creative and confident lover
Can you keep up?
11) Thou shalt do work that you love and are passionate about
If you hate your work, I'm going to have to hear about it all the time. And you won't be living an inspired and purposeful life, which would be a bummer for you. Live your potential.
12) Thou shalt have your own friends and spend time with them
How can I miss you if you won't go away?
13) Thou shalt be adventurous and open to new experiences
Especially with travel. This is very important.
14) Thou shalt love and be kind and respectful to children
It's not that I necessarily want children so much as I know I'm destined to have them. It's just a matter of when. It freaks me out, so I'm hoping to find someone who will more or less joyfully join me in attempting to raise healthy, functional humans.
15) Thou shalt have a fantastic sense of humor
It should be silly, a little bit dry, a little bit salty, a little bit dirty.
16) Thou shalt be flexible
Sometimes I evolve so quickly that it makes my head spin. I can only imagine how the people outside my head feel. Will you evolve with me?
17) Thou shalt only take what is freely offered and offer what you can do so freely
If everyone followed this guideline, most of the world's problems would be solved. If we follow this guideline, it'll make for a much more harmonious partnership.
18) Thou shalt get comfortable with the discomfort of the unfamiliar
Sometimes life gets weird. I can't have you freaking out every time it does. Keep calm, darlin.
Because John Waters says I shouldn't be with you if you don't. And I can't raise kiddos with a non-reader. Oh gosh, no.
20) Thou shalt keep a warm and welcoming home
There are few things I love more than feeding people in my home. If you do, too, we'll get along just fine!
21) Thou shalt realize that I am almost always right
I really am. If I argue a point, which I rarely do, it's because I'm sure of it. Every once in awhile I'm wrong. I'll be the first to admit it.
22) Thou shalt tell me when I have food in my teeth
Or my fly is down. Or you think I might need a nap or food or a glass of water. Let's cover each other's gaps.
23) Thou shalt give me a break sometimes
I'm not perfect and I know you're not either and I love that about both of us.
24) Thou shalt value, respect and adore me
If you think your experience and skill set is a good match for the position, please inquire. You should be prepared for other commandments to be put forth, and old ones to change or disappear. I am a woman, after all- ever flowing with the tides, well worth the glorious ride. Come correct.

FOR a team revered for its slickness, it was an untidy and jittery performance.
But Hawthorn, despite all the blunders and shaky moments, is in another Grand Final and that is all that counts after the heartache of a year earlier.
After starting the game unbackable favourites, the Hawks found themselves trailing by a point with 5:23 left on the clock when Crow Graham Johncock slotted a running goal from 40m.
It took some magic amid the mayhem from Cyril Rioli to get the nervous Hawks home.
Shaun Burgoyne snared a perfect hitout to send it long to Rioli, who judged it perfectly to mark and goal from 20m to restore order.
Rioli then off-loaded to Franklin, who rammed home what turned out to be the match-winner.
The brave Crows kept coming, with Taylor Walker kicking a set shot from 45m, to cut the lead to five points with 16 second left.
Gallery: See the best photos as Hawthorn edged the Crows
But Hawthorn managed to scramble it out of the centre bounce contest and hang on. Just.
It must have been unbearable to watch for Hawks fans who sat through the last-gasp loss to Collingwood last year because the match looked all over when the lead stretched to 20 points eight minutes into the third term.
The Hawks still led by 16 points at the final change and logic suggested they would storm home given the extra break, but the Crows kicked the first of the final term through the inspirational Kurt Tippett and it was game on.
After successive wasteful misses by Lance Franklin, the contest took a massive turn 18 minutes into the final term when Jason Porplyzia hit Hawk David Hale high with a sloppy spoil 40m from the Crows goal.
Ryan Schoenmakers, the villain with a dropped chest mark last year, crashed into Porplyzia's back in retaliation and the decision was reversed.
Porplyzia kicked truly.
Feeding off the momentum, Johncock goaled -- and if it wasn't for Rioli it might have just ended in tears.
Apart from a dominant patch early in the third term, this was sheer hard work for Hawthorn.
Franklin had a hand in three of the first four goals after the long break, starting with a deft pass to Jack Gunston after a Brent Reilly turnover.
The Hawks superstar also pounced four minutes later when his opponent Ben Rutten dropped a simple mark and looking on in horror as Franklin charged into an open goal, unselfishly off-loading to Luke Bruest.
When he cleverly stayed at the back of a pack, snaring the crumb and booting goal of his own from close range, Franklin had become a huge factor.
Suddenly, the Hawks led by 20 points only eight minutes into the term -- but Adelaide, which had every reason to roll over and put this one in the too hard basket, refused to relent.
Preliminary finals do strange things to teams and the signs that something wasn't quite right were there early.
Hawthorn's ball use was sloppy, the decision making going forward wayward and at time even the attack on the contest could be questioned.
In the first nine minutes, the Hawks dominated forward entries only to invent new ways to stuff it up -- a wrong chip kick here, a dropped chest mark there.
There was none of the slick ball movement of recent months.
Tippett kicked the first goal, out-pointing Schoenmakers and Adelaide was away despite being in damage control in the early stages.
The Crows attacked with daring run and handball out of defence.
When Tippett monstered Schoenmakers close to goal, the Crows led by eight points 24 minutes in and managed to take a seven point buffer into the first change.
Hawthorn led the inside 50 count 20-9, yet trailed.
It summed up the scenario of one side playing like it had nothing to lose and the other burdened by expectation.
Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson will be hoping this is the shaky one Hawthorn had to get out of the way, for despite all the heroics late, Sydney would have liked what it saw.
Several Hawks will have to lift. The pressure is only going to go up a notch next week.
FOUR POINTS with GLENN MCFARLANE
1. HAS a team with the sort of precision Hawthorn has shown all season wasted the ball as much as it did in the opening term? It's doubtful. According to Live HQ stats, the Hawks had a clear advantage of 20 inside 50s to the Crows' nine, and their waste almost gifted their opponents a seven-point quarter-time lead.
2. IF this was Kurt Tippett's last game for the Crows, then he went out with a fashion. Tippett dominated the air in the Crows' forward 50m and finished well on the scoreboard, making Ryan Schoenmakers look vulnerable on a number of occasions.
3. RYAN Schoenmakers had a moment he would prefer to forget when he bumped Jason Porplyzia which resulted in a reversed free kick late in the game, giving up a goal. That brought the Crows back to within a goal, from which they launched a late charge at the Hawks.
4. PATRICK Dangerfield's second half - and in particular his last term - was outstanding. He lifted the Crows magnificently when the game was in the balance but couldn't quite get them over the line.

This invention relates to a connecting device for multiple wire electrical cables and, more particularly, to protected connecting devices for multiple conductor electrical cables used in seismic exploration.
Commonly in seismic exploration work, lengthy electrical cables having multiple conductors must be connected in end-to-end relationship to form a cable array. As the seismic work progresses, a particular multi-conductor cable section may be moved from one end of the cable array and attached to the opposite end of the cable array. This causes a walk-along effect of the cable section along the entire cable array. Each cable section at any given time can be located at any position along the length of the cable array, from the inner positions to the end positions.
Since the seismic exploration is generally conducted in remote regions and out of doors, it is highly desirable to provide protection to the individual cable connectors to maintain their electrical integrity. Therefore, in the prior art, cable connectors having covers over the electrical connecting pins or contact elements thereof have been proposed. Detachable or separable covers for the cable connecting pins become easily lost in the out of doors.
Cable connectors covers which require undue time to place upon or remove from the electrical connectors at the cable ends become a nuisance to operating personnel and are rapidly discarded for that reason. Even when such covers are attached to the cables to prevent loss, e.g. by chains or the like, workers often fail to use the covers and even have been known to cut the chains to permit the covers to be removed and discarded. This can lead to damage to the connecting pins of the cable, e.g. as it is moved through the outdoor terrain being surveyed.
Another problem associated with prior art seismic cables is that they have generally employed so called pin and socket contact type connectors in which the multiple wires or conductors were soldered or wrapped to the electrical contacts. There are two distinct disadvantages with such pin and socket type connectors: for one, the soldering or wire wrapping technique is more time consuming and reliable electrical connections are not always achieved. Additionally, the pin and socket type contacts are much more susceptible to bending and damage thereby reducing the mating cycle of such connection.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved cable connector having a protective covering which is convenient to use and the use of which is integral with the operation of the connector.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a seismic cable connector assembly which eliminates individual stripping, positioning and soldering of electrical conductors.
With this and other objects in view the present invention contemplates an electrical connector having a pair of housings each with male and female electrical contact groups. A male and female contact group are positioned on one face of each housing and are spaced apart to provide an open surface therebetween. A spring biased hinged cover member is provided for each contact group, and normally urges the cover member into a position covering its associated contact group. A cam surface is provided on each cover member and is arranged to cooperatively engage a portion of the other of the pair of housings to move the cover member to a position uncovering the contact group and thereby permit the contact group to be matingly coupled. Therefore when a pair of the housings are placed together at right angles with their open surfaces contacting and are subsequently twisted within the plane of the contacting surfaces into a parallel relationship, the cam surface on each cover member engages a body portion of the outer housing to lift the spring biased cover members out of their covering position over the contact groups. Thus the cover members are moved aside to permit, by a simple pushing action, the engagement of mating male and female contact groups on the respective housings.
The present invention also contemplates a seismic cable connector assembly comprising a first hollow body, a socket member mounted on said first hollow member, said socket body including a plurality of socket electrical contacts, each of said socket contacts being provided with an insulation stripping, solderless terminal, a second hollow body, a plug member mounted on said hollow body, said plug member including a plurality of plug electrical contacts matable with said socket electrical contacts in said socket member, each of said plug electrical contacts including an insulation-stripping solderless terminal, said plug member being receivable in said socket member.

FIG. 9 is another, enlarged view of the solderless, insulation stripping terminals used in the pin carriers of the cable connector assembly of the present invention.
Referring initially to FIG. 1, a pair of multiple conductor cable connectors in accordance with the present invention are shown connected to each other in a side elevational view. Each of the cable connectors is provided with an elongate hollow housing or body member 11 of a rectangular shape and having a generally square cross section (as illustrated in FIG. 6). The body member 11 has a length of approximately 6 to 8 inches. The body members 11 are provided on one end thereof opposite the entry end of a cable 13, with an end closure plate 15 which is secured by a set screw 17.
The multiple conductor electrical cable 13 is attached to the opposite end of each of the body members 11 by a strain relief connector 14, 16 which is secured to the body member 11 by a set screw 17. The cable strain relief connector 14, 41 will be described in more detail subsequently. Each body member 11 of the cable connector pair is provided with a pair of spring loaded protective cover members 12 located at opposite ends thereof and hinged to open in opposite directions. An open space 22 occurs between the spaced cover members.
Referring now to FIG. 6 it will be seen that the body member 11 has affixed thereto a cover baseplate 18 which is attached thereto by screws 19 (FIG. 1) and which carries pivotally or hinged mounted thereon a movable portion 12 of the protective covering. A spring 61 which bears resiliently on the cover base 18 and the movable protective cover member 12 establishes a spring bias so that the protective covering 12 is normally urged downwardly in FIG. 6 against the body member 11. In this position the hinged covering 12 covers an electrical contact support member or pin carrier 52a (FIG. 6) which is also attached to the body member 11 of each of the connector pairs of the present invention. Each connector half forming the pair of connectors is thus provided with a pair of protective covers 12 as illustrated more clearly in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 which are affixed to opposite ends of the body member 11 leaving the open space 22 therebetween. Thus, the spring biased hinged protective covers 12 located near either end of the body members 11 open in opposite directions from each other.
It will be observed in FIG. 2 that each protective cover member 12 is provided at one of its peripheral corners with a slanted cam shaped surface 21 whose function will be described in more detail subsequently. It will be noted that the connector pair body members 11 are each symetrically provided with a pair of cable connector pin carriers 52a and 52b as illustrated in FIG. 6 in the sense that the pin carrier 52b at the one end of the housing 11 on each connector half may contain male pin members while the pin carrier 52a at the other end of the housing 11 may be provided with the opposite, or female, type pin connectors or vice versa. Thus, the outer connector on each housing is provided with the type connector (either male or female) suitable to engage its corresponding opposite member on the cable end of the housing.
Refering now to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the interior construction details of the connector of the present invention are shown in more detail. The pin carrier 52a and 52b is attached to the body member 11 via screws 53. Each pin carrier is provided with a plurality of self cleaning spring type contacts 71 and 72 as illustrated in FIG. 5. Individual electrical conductors 51 from the multiple conductor cable 13 are attached to the self cleaning spring type pin connectors 71, 72 by a method hereafter described. It will be observed from FIG. 5 that an outwardly spring biased male connector 71 carried by the pin carrier 52b, which is formed of an insulating material, is tapered inwardly to engage a cooperatively shaped female pin connector member 72 which is similarly mounted on pin carrier 52a in the opposite half of the connector pair. Thus with the protective cover members 12 raised in the position indicated in FIG. 5, the pin members 71 and 72 in each half of the connector pair may simply be shoved together into snug cooperative engagement. The motion of the male connector pin 71 into the female connector 72 provides a self cleaning action to the electrical contacts 71 and 72 of each member of the connector pair.
Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, it can be seen that the pin carrier 52a and 52b which can be either a plug or a socket and the pin carrier connectors 72 or 71, include self stripping solderless terminals 100. Terminals 100 are generally U-shaped having first and second legs 102 and 104. Legs 102 and 104 are generally parallel, are deflectable away from one another and have insulation cutting edges facing one another such that when an electrical conductor 51 is forced between legs 102 and 104, the insulation 106 will be cut through exposing the wire 108, wire 108 then being in direct contact with legs 102 and 104. The compressive force within contact legs 102 and 104 ensures tight engagement between legs 102 and 104 with the wire 108 and eliminates the need for soldering the electrical conductors 51 to the pin connectors 71. As best seen with reference to FIG. 5, terminals 100 are disposed internally of hollow body 11. With reference to FIG. 8, it can be seen that the pin carrier 52a or 52b can be provided with a cover 110 which is snugly received on the underside of pin carrier which extends into hollow body 11 and which covers terminals 72. A particularly desirable form of pin carrier is known as the Scotch Flex system marketed by the 3M Company.
Referring again to FIG. 4 the multi-conductor cable 13 is brought into the housing 11 of the connector via a cable strain relief system comprising an outer screw cap member 14 having an inner, inwardly tapered toroidal sleeve enclosure 42 which surrounds the jacket of the cable 13. A corresponding outwardly tapered bearing surface 41 on a cable closure member 16 is provided with cooperatively engaging threads 43 which engage the threads of outer screw cap member of the strain relief connector. Thus as the outer cap member 14 of the strain relief connector is tightened down, the wedging action provided by the cooperatively tapered surfaces 42 and 41 grips the outer jacket of the multi-conductor cable 13 at that point and relieves internal tensions on the multiple conductors 51 of the cable 13.
Conductor pairs 51 which are electrically connected to the individual spring biased contact members 71 and 72 are thus arranged so that the cable connector on one end of a section of a seismic cable array corresponds to conductor pairs attached to opposite (in the male and female sense) connectors. Thus the cable section is symetrically arranged so that it does not matter at what portion of the cable array a given cable section is located. The arrangement is such that continuity between corresponding conductors is maintained whether a given section of cable having multi-conductor connectors in accordance with the present invention is located either on the left or right end, or someplace between, of a composite seismic cable array made up of a plurality of such sections having connectors according to the present invention.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 7 one of the outstanding features of the present invention is illustrated with more particularity. In the illustration of FIG. 3 a pair of cables using the multi-conductor cable connectors of the present invention are shown placed at right angles to each other. When placed in this position, their open surface portions 22 between the protective covers are brought into touching engagement. If the pair of housings are then rotated in a counter-clockwise direction, as indicated by the counter-clockwise arrows of FIGS. 3 and 7 the camming surfaces 21 of the protective covering members 12 are brought into contact with the edge of the housing 11 of the other connector. The slanted camming surfaces 21 engage the opposite housing 11 and are thus utilized to force the covers 12 upwardly, (see FIG. 7) because of the pitch of the cam shape, against the bias of springs 61. Continued counter-clockwise rotation of the connector pair thus forces the cover members 12 into their fully open positions as illustrated in FIG. 5.
When counter-clockwise rotation through a full 90° of the housing 11 has been achieved, the protective cover members 12 are forced to their fully opened position and the corresponding male and female connector of each of the pair of multi-conductor cable connectors of the present invention are aligned. The connector may then be made up or connected by simply shoving the pair of housings 11 toward each other, thus engaging the multiple connector pins 71 and 72 corresponding to each of the cable conductors 51 as described previously.
In practice, therefore, it is seen that the multiple conductor cable connector of the present invention having multiple pin connections and provided with protective cover members over each set of pin connections may be made up or disconnected with great rapidity in field seismic operations. No chance is taken of losing the protective cover members. In making up or mating the connectors, a connector pair is simply placed at right angles at approximately mid points between the covers 12 and rotated through a 90° angle in a counter-clockwise direction. This action fully opens the spring biased protective covers and aligns the connecting pins of the electrical connectors for engagement. Engagement is then accomplished by simply drawing the connector pair together, completing the connection.
It will be noted that the arrangement of spring biased protective connector covers 12 causes pressure against the side of the opposite body member 11 of the connector pair when made up or connected and provides a rigidity to the connective structure. In this manner, the entire load of the connection is not sustained by the spring contacts of the individual cable conductors wires. Additionally, it will be noted that latching members (which are not illustrated in the drawings) could be provided on corresponding portions of the conductor pairs so that when the electrical connections are made the latches could be engaged to provide further mechanical integrity to the connectors. Simple latching members in the nature of a hook-shaped latch and eye could be provided for this purpose.
The foregoing description may make other alternative arrangements utilizing the concepts of the present invention apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, it is the aim of the appended claims to cover all such changes and modifications which may be made within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Molly Ringwald: When It Happens to You
She was the IT girl of the 80s. Molly Ringwald was the star of the iconic John Hughes teen films Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), and Pretty in Pink (1986). She's still acting; she stars as the mother in a TV series called The Secret Life of the American Teenager, but she's also a writer. Her first book, Getting the Pretty Back, was a bestseller full of anecdotes and advice. Now she's back with a debut novel called When it Happens to You and it's a very different kettle of fish. This bruised and clever novel is a series of interlocking stories about love and betrayal.

The end of the semester is approaching. I'll soon have three weeks to do with as I please. Apart from preparing for the coming all-week summer sessions and taking any odd jobs I can find, I'll likely find myself questing 😀 I took a look at my old installation via Crossover Games 10.1 and found that it was no longer functioning. Being a broke student, I can't afford to pay 60 dollars for the software that handles all of the back-end wine configuration on its own. Being a broke student, I DO have time to muck around with wine. This is how I went about installing wine 1.4 and then configuring it to play World of Warcraft patch 4.3 Hour of Twilight.

The version of wine I had available to me from debian testing was surprisingly out of date. Apparently testing is still running on wine 1.0.1. So first order of business was to remove all traces of wine:
# apt-get --purge remove libwine libwine-alsa wine wine-bin winetricks libwine-cms libwine-gl libwine-gphoto2 libwine-ldap libwine-print libwine-sane wine-utils
Then I found a PPA for Ubuntu that contained wine 1.4, even though it was still listing it as 1.3. I added it to my sources.list
$ cd /etc/apt $ su # cp sources.list sources.list.bak # echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu oneiric main" >> sources.list # apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys F9CB8DB0 # apt-get update
The backup is only in the event that you screw something up when appending the source line to your list 😛 The second to last line adds the public key of the repo and the last one updates the package manager to the new sources. Finally, I installed wine:
# apt-get install wine
All done. Version report should spit this at you:
$ wine --version wine-1.4
WoW Installation Woos
Now, in theory, all you should have to do at this point is download the installer from your battle.net account and use wine to run it. My installer has this name:
$ cd Downloads $ ls | grep WoW WoW-4.0.0-WOW-enUS-Installer.exe
And this should –in theory– work:
$ wine WoW-4.0.0-WOW-enUS-Installer.exe
The installer at least appears to load without incident.
However, once you click install, all hell breaks lose and you get an error message:
The relevant bit of error text is replicated for my fellow Google-searching Linux-running hell-no-i'm-not-dual-booting WoW nerds.
wine: Call from 0x7bc4a970 to unimplemented function msvcrt.dll._localtime64, aborting wine: Unimplemented function msvcrt.dll._localtime64 called at address 0x7bc4a970 (thread 003d), starting debugger...
Thankfully, this isn't too terribly difficult to clear up! Editing the wine configuration permitted the installer to continue:
$ winecfg
Running that command will open up the wine configuration. In my case, msvcrt was already listed as an override in the "Libraries" tab, but of the wrong sort. The configuration was set to native. Switching this to "builtin" and "Applying" got the installer to continue.
Is it really installing?!?!?!?!
Yes friend, the installer will do its thing. This basically consists of grabbing the WoW "Launcher" application. I've included some screenshots because why the fuck not 🙂 After clicking install and accepting the terms of use, you get this sequence:
Fuck you, "Launcher"
In my case, the transition from this installer to the launcher was seamless. However, should the installer complete but the launcher not start you can always start it manually:
$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/ $ wine Launcher.exe
At this point, I could get the launcher to at least start. However, depending on various conditions, different problems would occur.
No connection to news server
Ah yes. The lovely "Cannot connect to the News Server. Please check the network and try again later." comment. Turns out, you really DO want to check 'dat network. Specifically, make sure the following ports get forwarded to the relevant box:
- 1119 (used by WoW)
- 1120 (used by the "Battle.net" services. I didn't forward this port and didn't have any problems)
- 3724 (used by WoW)
- 6881-6999 (used for the downloader)
Once I forwarded these ports I was able to get the usual news section in the launcher.
Launcher Crashes
I know there used to be a problem with the Launcher's torrent system of downloading. Whether this is still a problem with wine 1.4 or not, I don't know. However, if the launcher is crashing –CRASHING, not hanging– then you can do this to set the appropriate values for the "Downloader Preferences" before starting the launcher again. Some folks can get to the preferences before it crashes. I say don't bother with that. Just execute the following command:
wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Blizzard Downloader" /v "Disable Peer-to-Peer" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
^Source: http://www.wowwiki.com/Wine_troubleshooting
That should permit you to keep the launcher going. It is also recommended to Disable throttling. Settings shown below
Curiously, I don't have P2P enabled, and yet my connection seems to imply it's working just fine. Meh. Probably nothing:
Finally, the various dialogs from the Launcher would sometimes not load properly. I'd just get a blank grey-ish screen. Screen-capping gave me this:
I'm running compiz and those green lines are an open/close window effect that didn't show on the screen itself. Apparently though the choice of window manager isn't relevant. I tried swapping to metacity and got the same grey screen. So if the menu options crash on you… shit happens. Load the launcher again and try again. Try loading different menu options first. That worked for me once. Or you can just use the registry editor one-liner up there. I don't know for certain, but in theory you should be able to set ALL of the downloader settings in this manner. My registry settings (you can get to them by running "regedit" in a terminal; looks and feels like the real regedit from windows) are below:
wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Blizzard Downloader" /v "Background Download Mode" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Blizzard Downloader" /v "Background Download Setting" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Blizzard Downloader" /v "Disable Background Download" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Blizzard Downloader" /v "Disable Peer-to-Peer" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Blizzard Downloader" /v "Full Speed Background Download" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
The important ones though if something is fucking up and crashing are:
wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Blizzard Downloader" /v "Disable Peer-to-Peer" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f wine reg add "HKCU\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Blizzard Downloader" /v "Full Speed Background Download" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
Launcher Hangs
In my case, the Launcher kept hanging during the "Downloading updated tools…" part of the sequence. That stupid blue bar got stuck! Looked like this:
Thanks to some other lovely folks at the WoW forums who were also grappling with this frustration — http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/4253969712 — I found a solution. Turns out there's a hung process that you need to kill. Here's an example:
$ ps aux | grep -i wow preston 11182 21.7 0.1 2659596 16076 pts/6 Sl 08:12 0:09 C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Temp\wow-22.214.171.12430-enUS-tools-downloader.exe --autolaunch=4 --hiddenPort=6999 --hiddenProcessing=1 --updateinterval=100 preston 11226 0.0 0.0 7792 884 pts/5 R+ 08:12 0:00 grep -i wow $ kill 11182
You want to kill whatever process(es) has/have the C drive directory in it/them. This should permit the downloader to finish getting the updated tools. If the launcher still hangs. Kill it, restart it, and do the above again.
It's working!!!
Once I FINALLY got past that pesky blue bar, I got to the usual SETUP-AVAILABLE-PLAYABLE scheme we all know and love. Finally. Not sure why it gave the news server error, but I ignored it, didn't touch that shit for hours, and finally had a good chunk of it installed before clicking play. It looked like this.
And if you opened up the launcher via a terminal, chances are you'd see a whole lotta this flying by too. Nothing to worry about though:
In-game Issues
I'm happy to say they are: next to none. When clicking play, it got my resolution right (1920×1080) and went through the cinematic intro before taking you to the typical login screen. I logged in for the first time and that's the only hiccup I had: at times, the sound would skip, repeat, or stop during the process of "initializing character" or something like that. It acted like the program was hanging or locking up –and I was about to start flippin' tables– but I gave it a good 30 seconds each time and the percentage kept creeping up. It was finally fully set up –presumably it was downloading my toon– and then it asked me what sort of servers I play. Regular of course 😛 And at that point, it had my toon and Realm (Fenris).
Playing was a breeze. A wonderful, beautiful breeze. No video issues with an Nvidia GTX-280 and settings set to Good. No sound issues. Averaging around 60 frames per second.
I can't wait for this mini break between semesters.

Posted on 08/22/2012 6:08:20 PM PDT by moonshinner_09
EDINBURG A capital murder trial for an illegal immigrant accused of kicking her 2-year-old son to death began here Tuesday morning more than four years after the child died.
Maria Almaguer, 34, stood before Judge Rudy Delgado and pleaded not guilty to the four counts against her, including capital murder, in the 93rd State District Court.
The Mexican national is accused of killing her 2-year-old son Isaias Ismael Alvarez more than four years ago on June 14, 2008 just a week before his third birthday.
Isaias didnt know his birth mother, Assistant District Attorney Cregg Thompson told jurors during the trials opening statements.
The toddler lived with his father for the first year of his life, before Almaguer took him away, Thompson said. Isaias lost weight in her care and got sick, he said. So she purportedly took him back to his father and when he recovered, she picked him up again.
Isaias landed in the hospital four different times for various reasons, including a skull fracture and a broken arm, in less than a five-month period between January 2008 and the time of his death in June, Thompson told jurors.
He was released from the hospital just a few days before he was killed, he said.
Shortly after being arrested at the Roma International Bridge, about two days after the death, Almaguer told officers she kicked her son in the stomach with her right foot, Thompson said.
Almaguers defense attorney, Sergio Valdez, however, argued during his opening statements that McAllen police illegally extradited her and therefore illegally obtained her confession.
McAllen Police violated international treaties, Valdez told jurors.
(Excerpt) Read more at themonitor.com ...
Put her in the chair and throw the switch, then send her charred satiff to the effing Mexican Embassy.
Another reason why I think "Miranda" and "Mapp" need reversed by the SCOTUS. After every cop show in history, anyone who DOESN'T know they have a right to not talk and have a lawyer present are too damn dumb and deserve conviction and punishment.
BTW, when do we tell Mexico to shut up do as their told or we'll force some regime change on 'em?
"Isaias landed in the hospital four different times for various reasons, including a skull fracture and a broken arm, in less than a five-month period..."
Why did they keep returning this child to her?
American citizen taxpayers are out at least a million cleaning up the mess this POS illegal alien made. It will cost a million just in incarceration expenses because no one has the cojones to send her to the electric chair. Mothers who kill their babies and children should get the death penalty because they are demons, this used to be common sense

A rails hugging ride from Jason Collett saw Bello score a narrow win in the Group 3 $125,000 Enviropacific Newmarket Handicap (1400m) at Newcastle today.
Former Kiwi jockey Collett was looking to follow Nash Rawiller on Laser Hawk as he started to make his move at the 300m but went back to the inside when the leader Famous Seamus moved off the fence.
Rosehill Guineas winner Laser Hawk looked to the have race in his keeping when he moved up alongside the heavily backed Mahisara but Bello proved too strong pushing up along the fence.
"Got all the favours up the rail there, got a soft run," Collet said.
"I was looking to come out, push Laser Hawk out then that run opened up, I was pretty happy then."
"Any winner's good, but to pick up a Stakes company race like this is even better."
Winning trainer Peter Snowden stepped Bello up to Group 3 company after the four year old had been racing in top form with two wins and a second from his last three starts.
Stable foreman Brad Widdup has ruled out any chance of Bello stepping up further in grade and a start in the Group 1 $2m BMW Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick on April 20 is definitely not an option.
"Seven furlongs is about him anyway, but I'm not sure what Peter's plans are now but that was a good grand final anyway," Widdup said.
Widdup also praised the ride of Collett after the promising young jockey saved a lot a ground sticking to the fence throughout the race.
"Drew a good gate, it was a terrific ride, he waited. He's a better horse with a bit of cut in the ground, it was a good win today," Widdup said.
"He's a terrific young rider and he's going really well."
Snowden's other runner Raspberries ($9) with Glen Boss in the saddle was always back in the ruck and made up some ground in the straight to wind up in fourth spot.
Rawiller gave Laser Hawk ($11) every chance and the four year old travelled sweetly in third and fourth place just behind the speed but found Bello ($8.50) too strong in the run to the line.
Famous Seamus ($7) fought on well for third after setting the pace and the heavily backed Mahisara ($3 favourite) with Craig Williams died on his run to finished fifth.

George has taken up croquet. We're not talking about the backyard-fun-with-the-kids game but the U.S.Croquet Association regulation sport. Believe me these people are serious players. Thus, I'm not quite sure how my dear husband and some of his cryptic comments and antics will go over with the rule-abiding, straight-laced folks on the court.
Understand that we won a trophy in the New Jersey Press Association Croquet Tournament in Spring Lake back in 1988. However, those tournaments were usually a make-up-your-own-rules, knock-the-opponents-out-of-the-way competition between the Mitchell family and the Worrall family. The Worralls normally won. I don't think we can count that trophy.
My dear husband is in desperate need of "whites." He no longer has any tennis shorts; most were given or thrown away when we moved except for a pair that fit my increased backside. In preparation for his first day out on the court, I bleached his light beige corduroy shorts until they passed as almost white. For cooler weather, we'll have to shop in a uniform store for legitimate "whites."
George convinced me to fill out a foursome one evening. I do have white slacks and white shirts so I said I'd give the game a try. Actually, I didn't do too badly for my first time playing real croquet. My eyes didn't work the way June said I should view the ball and wicket but I muddled through. If my knees hadn't been aching so much, I'm confident we girls would have beat the boys. Maybe next time-after I get the bum knee replaced.
June was going to prepare shrimp scampi for dinner so I said I'd make dessert. George and I wanted to check out a new Wegman's store fairly near us so I thought I'd pick up a recipe there. Some of the recipes sounded delicious but I wanted a really simple one so I would have time for a nap before our "big game." I later found that the store has a web site that includes recipes: my.wegmans.com.
Since I had fresh strawberries from a local farm, I went on the internet to find a strawberry dessert recipe. Kitchenlink.com came to the rescue with a copycat of Shoney's Strawberry Pie. For Yankee information, Shoney's Big Boy is a chain restaurant, similar to Howard Johnson's, down South. This dessert is so easy, really delicious and very attractive.
Here's my version.
Strawberry Pie
1 cup boiling water
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons strawberry Jell-O
a few drops of red food coloring (optional)
quart of fresh strawberries
shortcake pie crust (store-bought)
Cool Whip
Combine water, sugar and cornstarch. Boil until the mixture thickens, but not too thick. Stir well.
Add Jell-O and food coloring, if desired, and stir until it all dissolves. Remove from stove to cool.
Wash strawberries and drain off all water. Slice strawberries in half and place, cut side down, in the prepared pie crust.
Pour mixture over strawberries and let cool in the refrigerator for three to four hours.
To serve, slice and top with Cool Whip.
You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com. By snail mail it's PO Box 7, Denville, NJ 07834.

I have recently dumped my apple products and went exclusively, Android and Linux. Sold my ipad 3 and picked up a TF700. One of the first things I noticed that when I watch youtube HD it is bugger *** slow ! While SD is fast. I find it pretty odd. Considering that it is connected @ 70 Mbps. I know that I did use my ipad only on the 5GHZ and never once had a problem with it.
Or is it jus the Youtube app that is hosed ? :(

Scripture: Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases… (Psalm 103-1-3)
Prayer: Dear Lord, you are worthy of my praise, thank you for your blessings and your presence in my life. Forgive me for the times I praise the things I shouldn't.
Reflection: Praising God is so much more than singing songs with other believers, it is an attitude of the heart, a posture of the soul. In your life, what distracts and interrupts your praise of God?

Gary Galka made many attempts to reach out to his daughter, who had passed away unexpectedly. He lost his daughter eight years ago in a car crash and has since built more than thirty devices in hopes of hearing her voice, just one more time.
Galka is the creator of the Mel-8704-SB7-EMF meter, as seen on the popular television show, Ghost Adventures. The device, also known as the "Mel Meter" has become increasingly popular with ghost hunters, as the devices are the only line of such devices that are exclusively designed for actual ghost hunting. The website, at which the instruments can be purchased calls them
"The only professional measurement instrument line designed exclusively for paranormal enthusiasts."
Although the inventions have attracted some criticism, Galka claims the Mel Meter has allowed him to communicate with his daughter. It was even used to record what was believed to be her voice on a recent episode of Ghost Adventures. The voice can clearly be heard saying, "Hi Daddy, I love you".
Galka's paranormal devices are sold through D.A.S. Distribution Inc. in East Granby, which has six employees and makes the equipment in-house. Regardless of the criticism, Galka builds much of the equipment used by teams like the GAC crew.
What Galka has experienced is unimaginable. People may have their opinion on the effectiveness of his equipment, but his motives cannot be questioned. If you had experienced a loss like Galka and thought that there was a way to hear your child's voice just one more time..Wouldn't you build them?
If you would like to learn more about this ghost hunting device, you can visit the site below. You can also watch a Recent Ghost Adventures Episode featuring the Galka family below.

Staff at the University of T&T (UTT) have started clearing their desks as management gets ready for its retrenchment process by month's end, just ten days away.
You are here
Predictable copy and paste reaction
Haven't we heard this all before? The strong condemnations, the warnings to criminals, the promises of all-out attacks on lawlessness and violence?
The senseless, brutal murders of PH taxi driver Devon Hernandez and Joshua Andrews, 15, a student of the Morvant Laventille Secondary School, have evoked the usual responses of outrage and despair. It has become almost a knee-jerk reaction in a nation that has been besieged by murders and other violent crimes for two decades or more.
In the immediate aftermath of Monday's killings, National Security Minister Edmund Dillon—the latest in a long procession of ministers unable to effectively deal with T&T's spiralling murder rate—swiftly convened a meeting at Police Headquarters in Port-of-Spain.
Also, in quick time, a strongly worded statement was despatched by Dillon condemning "this heinous act against innocent citizens." Predictably, it included a warning that the murderers "will be found and made to feel the brunt of the law."
Minister Dillon's statement ended with a familiar declaration: "No effort will be spared. No stone will be left unturned."
Of course, if this follows the usual script, expect the usual criticisms from opposition politicians, never mind that they too failed when they got the chance to effectively address this country's continually climbing crime rate.
Murders happen in this country every day, generally with little or no responses from all sides. The noise and fury follows the more horrific acts of bloodshed, such as when bank employee Shannon Banfield's body was found in the storage area of a downtown Port-of-Spain store just over the year ago.
There is now the same degree of outrage being expressed over Joshua Andrew's untimely death after the murders of Mark Richards, 16, and Denelson Smith, 17—who were also on their way home travelling in a PH taxi from another school in the troubled Morvant/Laventille community when they were brutally gunned down. In fact, January 21 would make it two years since those two boys were slaughtered.
It is possible to copy and paste the reactions from that tragedy and not see a difference. Vigilance was kept up only for a season until all the outrage died down, promises were made and not kept and more often than not the killers remain at large. Once the spotlight fades, it is back to "normal."
Still, the authorities keep doing the same things in the same ways, but expecting different results. That is a classic definition of insanity.
Without true commitment to law and order, enforcement and justice, the murderous rampages will continue. As long as political expediency is preferred to tough but necessary assaults on crime, there will be more days like Monday when the nation laments and rages over lives lost to murder.

Intended Consequences
Regardless of the motivation, most Americans will never have any idea of Chief Justice Roberts' thinking, political priorities, logic, or purposes regarding his Obamacare decision.
The only thing that Americans need to consider is that the country must be taken back from the socialists, communists, megalomaniacs, and fascists. This project must have their highest priority. This is the only means left to restore the rule of law and restore the nation's Constitutional integrity and liberty. Our goal will be reached when Americans recover control of the presidency, Senate, and maintain control of the House.
If anything, the Obamacare decision appears to inflict intense broad-based pain and angst across most elements of the electorate. It appears to have the potency to awaken people to vote to restore the presidency and Congress to Republican control. If Obamacare causes this to happen, the Supreme Court made a good decision in this narrowed, non-constitutional sense. Its decision then will be labeled good because from that point on the people can endeavor to restore judicial and legislative interpretation of the Constitution.
Without control of the presidency and Congress in 2012, the Constitution will be disregarded and of no significance.
The Constitution will not be a factor in future legislation. Leftists of all sorts, including Progressives, socialists, communists, disregard the Constitution and its derived laws. Consider that, if this decision would have stamped Obamacare as not Constitutional, and if the presidency and Senate were to remain controlled as it is for the next several years, the Constitution would be disregarded and abused forever.
A second Obama term afforded the the Senate minor mods of Obamacare with sneaky small changes to make it appear constitutional.
America's plan must be: Defeat Democrats/Socialists/Communists.
Defeat Republicans.
Maintain eternal vigil over all politicians. Fight for term limits for both chambers of the US Congress.
