Some days are just harder than others, ya know?
If you've read my last post then you know I've had a few of those lately, and you've probably contemplated sending me Google's latest search results on "how to break a voodoo curse and live to tell about it."
In case you were wondering…
I'm still driving the overly-priced-oh-Lord-just-give-me-my-old-car-back loaner. And I have to tell you that it's continuing to keep me in a state of undying panic.
Apparently, this fancy car has yet another included option I knew nothing about—the Invisibility Feature. Maybe your car has that too? Without fail, every single day someone tailgates me, pulls out in front of me, or unknowingly launches large objects from the bed of their truck at me. I'm talking hand trucks. (So. Not. Kidding.)
I'm a nervous wreck.
And people keep staring at me!
This socially-challenged-introvert-with-major-trust-issues becomes easily paranoid when people stare.
I was told by Sam, Sam the Service Man that I had to keep that huge sticker on the side window. (But, I could stand it no more—not to mention it's a huge blind spot! I tried to remove it but it didn't work—I hope they don't notice the little tear!)
Have you, like me, ahem, unfairly judged when you see someone in a brand new, fancy sports car, driving around with the giant Monroney Moronic Sticker on the window, showing off how much they've paid?
Okay, I get it. I'm talking to myself here. 😉
I'll never do that again.
I now know that she may just be some poor soul who has no choice but to display it—doesn't even own the car—doesn't want the car—doesn't even want to be driving the car! Just some poor-lowly-work-at-home-transcriber-slash-forty-something-year-old-mama-praying-her-way-through-the-day-and-hanging-on-by-a-mere-thread-while-trying-to-figure-out-a-way-to-get-the-satellite-radio-to-stop-playing-gangsta-rap—yo!
Oh, but, I digress.
There have been several more debacles…
including our AC unit going out. It had to go out on a Friday night, right? And just before one of the hottest weekends since last summer.
Good news, though—the massive amounts of sweat on my brow helped with my newly diagnosed dry eye syndrome, and the scale says it was all worth it. Yep, down a whole 1/6 of a pound! Holla!
As luck would have it, right after having the AC fixed the rain set in for days. "Rainy days and Mondays (and Tuesdays and Wednesdays. . .) always get me down." If you've been with me for any length of time, then you know depression and I have a history. Which means it feels right at home, coming for unwelcomed visits and extended stays.
Now, let's get real here, okay?
All kidding aside, I really have been having a hard time dealing with all the curveballs.
And there are some real, sure 'nough struggles going on in this house lately that I simply can't share—maybe not ever.
So, please don't think this is merely a rant. That's not what I'm going for here.
I want you to know that I struggle, too. I don't ever want you to think I'm super holy or have it all together. (Of course, if you did read my last post, you are already more than aware of this truth! LOL)
frankly, I'm so over trying to be perfect—trying to convey some form of perfection!
Aren't you?
Quite honestly, I've had to almost literally fight for peace.
I've had to dig deep.
I've had to intentionally do things to make my hard days easier, my cloudy days brighter. To keep anxiety and depression at bay. To keep the enemy as far away as possible.
Maybe you just got some life-changing news.
Maybe anxiety and/or depression just showed up at your front door with three big bags of dirty laundry and a wheelbarrow full of never-dealt-with baggage.
Maybe the enemy has attacked your faith, your witness, your child, your marriage…
Maybe [you fill in the blank].
Interesting thing about these the hard times: They make you desperate for more of Him.
Here are four God-honoring ways to help get through the hard days:
Prayer doesn't have to be complicated. Nor does it need to be lengthy or filled with big words. It's like with most things these days—we've complicated it and made it harder than it has to be. Isn't that just what the enemy wanted to happen? Black Smutty Face's eye today by just having a conversation with Him, as if you were having coffee together.
In fact, just go ahead and pour yourself a cup right now.
Romans 5:10 & John 15:15 say that as believers in Christ we are His friends:
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
So just talk to Him like the friend that He is.
And if you need a prayer partner, just email me. 🙂
When the clouds keep rolling and the storms of life keep brewing, I try to cling to everything I can that Has Jesus' name on it or in it. Because there is power in His name.
And when I read God-honoring books, sing hymns, listen to praise and worship, read my Bible…I am aware of His love for me, His presence in my life, and the Truth that not only sets me free but gives me hope.
Surrounding myself with the things of His Word and not the things of this world is what it takes—at least for me. For I am "prone to wander, Lord I feel it."
Stand firm by encasing, enclosing, and enveloping yourself with all things Him.
- Read your Bible.
- Head to the library and choose a good book of devotions.
- Click on my homepage, scroll through, and reread a past post that speaks to you.
- Listen to praise and worship music.
- Reacquaint yourself with those old beloved Hymns. Here are my Top 15 Favorite Hymns that you can listen to right now!
- Listen to devotional CDs at home and on the go. I just picked up this super cheap 2-disc set from my favorite, Priscilla Shirer. Can't wait to make it a part of my morning routine!
I lost my Big Granny last year. I've really been thinking about her a lot this week, as Easter was her favorite time of year. I've often credited her with teaching me my first Scripture, Psalm 118:24.
This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.
Whenever she was having a bad day or when the enemy attempted to put bad thoughts in her head, she'd loudly recite this verse three times. And, even as a small child, she'd have me do it.
By the time we said it with conviction that third time, it was as if the enemy's hold had loosed, and our spirits were lifted. I'm not saying it's magic. But I am saying that there is power in His Living Word!
The past few weeks, God has really been reminding me the importance of not only reading His Word but confessing it as Truth OUT LOUD for the enemy to hear, and I honestly just realized that not only did my sweet Big Granny teach me my first verse, she also taught me how to confess the Word aloud as a powerful weapon to help defeat the enemy.
Something that I'm just now coming to understand—its importance, I mean.
When we confess His Word aloud, not only are we using the Word as the Sword of the Spirit against the enemy, but we are:
- praising Him by confessing our trust and belief in Him
- declaring our true identity in Him to the heavenly realm
- reinforcing our faith in Him to ourselves
Wanna give my Big Granny's advice a try?
Three times out loud with conviction—Go!
This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.
Many times, the best thing to do when you're feeling really down is to focus on helping someone else. When we choose (whether we feel like it or not) to be a blessing to someone else, it takes the focus off of our problems. And it makes us feel really good to know that we've made a difference in the life of someone else—no matter how small.
And we're truly exhibiting Christ-like behavior and shining for Him when we make the conscious decision to fill a need, brighten a day, and offer encouragement.
- Write a quick card to someone who wouldn't expect it.
- Send a text to a friend who needs encouragement.
- Paint someone's toenails. (Seriously, this puts a smile on my mom's face like nothing else.)
- Make a prayer list of 10 people and spend the next few minutes lifting them up to Him.
- Collect canned food and take it to your local shelter.
- Clean out your closet and donate what you don't need (and gain closet space, too!)
- Go to the Dollar Store and buy some school supplies. Donate them to your local school or kid's classroom.
I bet you have some great ideas for practical, doable, and God-Honoring ways to help us all get through the hard days. So how 'bout it, friend? How do you get through the gray-sky days? Scroll down to join the convo!
Peace out, Peeps! 😉

Garda charged with harassing women after arrest at mother's home
28/03/2014 - 12:22:10Back to Ireland Home
A Dublin-based garda has appeared in court charged with harassing two women on four different occasions.
Donal Maguire, who has served at Aras an Uachtarain, is due to stand trial for the alleged offences.
Garda Donal Maguire appeared in court today after he was arrested at his mother's home in Bundoran, Co Donegal yesterday morning.
He is facing four counts of harassment against two alleged victims on various dates between September 2012 and March 19.
The alleged offences took place at the Jervis Shopping Centre and at North Great Clarence Street.
The court heard he no longer lives with his wife and four children at their Dublin home, and spent some time in a mental health hospital last month.
His estranged wife is not one of the alleged victims.
Garda Maguire was suspended on three quarters pay pending the outcome of this prosecution and is still considered a serving member of the force.
He was granted bail today and is due to appear in court again in May for DPP's directions.

Claude Debussy Music Quote 2
Music is the expression of the movement of the waters, the play of curves described by changing breezes.
Next music quote: Claude Debussy
Music is the silence between…
About Claude Debussy
Achille-Claude Debussy (French: [aʃil klod dəbysi], 22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918), known since the 1890s as Claude-Achille Debussy or Claude Debussy, was a French composer. He and Maurice Ravel were the most prominent figures associated with Impressionist music, though Debussy disliked the term when applied to his compositions. He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1903. He was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his use of non-traditional scales and chromaticism influenced many composers who followed.
Debussy's music is noted for its sensory content and frequent use of nontraditional tonalities. The prominent French literary style of his period was known as Symbolism, and this movement directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant.

This Atari game is emulated by JavaScript only. If you prefere to use Java applet emulator, please follow this link.
Unfortunately, this game is currently available only in this version. Be patient :-)
File size:
Game size:
Robot Tank is a 1983 video game for the Atari 2600. It was designed and programmed by Alan Miller and published by the then-fledgling Activision.
The game has the player remotely control a futuristic robot tank, whose mission is to stop enemy rebel tanks rampaging across the countryside from reaching downtown Santa Clara, California, United States. The tank is equipped with radar to locate enemy squadrons.
The game was innovative in that, instead of the player's tank being destroyed with a hit from an enemy, it was merely damaged, losing some capabilities such as radar or speed (enough damage would eventually destroy the tank). The game also features 24-hour gameplay (that is, combat could take place at any time of the day or night) and varying weather (rain, snow, fog), which added additional challenge in tracking enemy combatants.
The enemy is organized into squadrons. By defeating an enemy squadron, the player earns an additional reserve tank. The game ends when all of a player's tanks are destroyed.
In a 2008 review, Lee's 'Peek n Poke' said of Robot Tank 'In a toss between the official Atari Battle zone and this — each one is just as good and its hard to choose — maybe the Atari effort wins? But it is nice to have two versions I can play and enjoy — a near perfect slant on Battle Zone'.

Pittsburgh can Steel the Super Bowl
Big Ben Roethlisberger and his Pittsburgh Steelers are my pick to win this year's Super Bowl and at 13/10 against the Green Bay Packers at 4/6 - you may need some convincing why.
Super Bowl XLV (45) will pit the AFC champions Pittsburgh Steelers against the NFC champion Green Bay Packers.
The Packers have made it here with a blitz-happy defense that has confused opposition offenses all season.
The vastly more experienced Steelers have relied on their balanced offense and the combination of running back Rashard Mendenhall receiving from Ben Roethlisberger to reach the Super Bowl.
The result of this match has to come down to the quality of the QB on the night as both teams rely so heavily on the man with the ball. It could come down to who handles the pressure of the occasion the best.
That is one of the reasons why I fancy the Steelers, the experienced and cool-headed Ben Roethlisberger who is always ready to make the big plays when the pressure is on.
In Ben, the Steelers are led by one of the best QBs in the game who has had arguably one of his best seasons in his seven year career in the NFL. He may have only played 12 games but in those he has thrown for 3200 yards and 17 TDs and just had 5 interceptions.
His opposite number Aaron Rodgers, although impressive, has struggled against some of the best defensive lines this season (namely the Bears and the Jets). Now he squares up against THE best defense in the NFL and the critics, who say his record only shines due to matches against inferior opponents, could be proved right.
A reason I think the Packers will struggle is their choice of rookie RB, James Starks. While he has provided Green Bay with the running threat they have needed for a long time, the former sixth-round draft pick could struggle, not only with the occasion - but his skinny frame could also struggle with the monstrous Pittsburgh defense.
Stark's opposite number Rashard Mendenhall is in fine form and has amassed over 1,200 yards on the ground this season, scoring 13 TDs and he almost won the AFC championship game against the Jets single-handedly.
Overall I would say the Steelers edge it, not only in most areas of the field but also mentally. When you have two QBs lining up - one who has never won anything and one who has a 10-2 record in the playoffs and two Super Bowl rings, it is hard not to choose the more experienced option.
It will undoubtedly be close, as Super Bowls often are. I am very tempted by the 10/11 on under 44 points as both teams will really be keeping it tight.
If you really fancy the Packers to justify being favourites then I recommend the winning margin of 1-6 points at 10/3 as I can't see them running away with it.
Personally though, I prefer the Steelers to just edge it, the close winning margin of 1-6 points for Pittsburgh, the most successful Super Bowl team ever (with six titles), at the price of 15/4 is the pick.
There are over 70 pre-match markets to choose from and a whole host of specials for you to get your teeth in to. Get your bets on, sit back and relax, and enjoy the biggest sporting event in the world.

Bleeding Fist Blast '666 Bullets in the Face of God'
Black metal is ugly music for ugly people. Jagged chords, Jesus-punching lyrics, subterranean production values and spine-tingling death rattles, all overlain with the stench of decay and lingering misanthropy — that's what black metal is made of (if you're doing it right, anyway).
The extreme personalities behind this most extreme of metal genres are seldom what one would call 'friendly,' as Noisecreep deduced from a recent chat with Etienne 'Hellscream' Chelleri of Slovenian maniacs Bleeding Fist. We're sure Hellscream and the gang are right old teddybears once the corpse paint comes off and their guitars are laid to rest for the night. But as far as their music is concerned, they are nothing if not murderously serious. Hellscream's parting words made it all crystal-clear: "Bleeding Fist is here to stay. We will continue to playing this s— as long as hate and evilness will rule this dying world."
Born and conceived in Slovenia in 2005, Bleeding Fist brought a refreshingly straightforward approach along with them to their band's christening. "If you look at the past, none of the so-called black metal bands had names like Gryminisyk; names were striking, straight to the core without compromises or bulls—ting about with ancient esoteric names, random demons or Egyptian mythology. That's why we are Bleeding Fist. Straight in the face — 666 bullets in the face of god," Hellscream spits.
Eastern Europe and the Baltic region are world-renowned for their impossibly extreme slants on traditional black metal, with beginnings that stretch back to Tormentor and Root and forge ahead with the rise of newer bands like Bleeding Fist. Not everyone is entirely happy with it, though. Hellscream confides, "There were some threats made against Bleeding Fist from a Croatian radical Catholic party which recriminate us for 'inducing youth into a Satanic influence and forcing them to join some kind of occult Satanic sects,' but who the f— cares about them?"
And as for Bleeding Fist's own unique sound, a deadly concoction of evil thrash and gutter black that they have dubbed 'chaos metal,' Hellscream explains, "This was a natural evolution in search of the darkest and extremest horizons in music and ourselves. 'Chaos black metal' is a mix of the worst and extreme that can be found in old school black, thrash and death metal. A storm collapsing your soul. A carcinogen heroin devouring your body. Of course we gain inspiration from old school black, thrash and death metal. No one band in particular gave us the inspiration. We don't want to bring something new, the world is filled with new and modern s— which is a such cool thing for most of metal population but we want keep it old, dirty and insane, like f—ing a 60-year-old, drunk junkie prostitute … this is black metal."
Two figures Hellscream will admit to harboring a sense of admiration for are two of black metal's most well-known and infamous progenitors — Euronymous of Mayhem and Varg Vikernes of Burzum. When questioned about whom he felt was more influential to the scene, Hellscream decided upon "Euronymus as a musician, and Varg for the attitude."
As for Varg's recent release from prison and the ensuing announcement of a new Burzum album, Hellscream was unimpressed. "As long as can be remembered, he has maintained that he will record any more black metal albums, so this is a big f— off. But of course out of jail he needs to maintain himself," he shrugs.

Eleven Minutes

The couple - who are expecting twins in April - have revealed while they won't be naming their offspring anything too "crazy", they want to give them tags that will set them apart from the crowd.
Speaking of the impending new arrivals, Nick, 30, said: "We're building nurseries in both Los Angeles and New York. They won't be getting crazy names like Carburetor or something. But they're definitely unique."
The actor-and-comedian - who married the 40-year-old singer in 2008 - also explained Mariah isn't afraid of pandering to her pregnancy cravings, but he often ends up finishing off her dishes as by the time they have been cooked she usually isn't in the mood for food anymore.
He added to People magazine: "Last night we had smothered pork chops, collard greens, red beans and rice and a pecan pie with homemade whipped cream.
"She cooks it, tastes it, but instead of laying up and eating it, I end up eating it. I think she craves it, but once she cooks it and smells it then the cravings go away."

I was changing a headlamp and front park lamp. I noticed the park lamp was corroded so I snapped the wires intending to just connect the wire to the lamp and tape it up until I could buy a new socket. Im pretty sure I had the keys out of the ignition, but when I cut the wires all the parking lights went out both front amber and both rear. I do not see a fuse in the fuse box for parking lights and the dash info now says "service park lamps" when car is turned on. I need help fast, thanks, Mike.

The First Thoughtful Thursday of 2013 and It's a FAIL
Today is supposed to be a Thoughtful Thursday, at least according to the blog schedule to which I am supposed to adhere, to which I should probably link, but I don't feel like it, so you can hit the search box if you're that determined to find it.
Having no thoughts of my own, I decided to seek the wisdom of my friends on Skype. The only suggestion I got was that "creamed corn is gross."
I should have stuck with Twitter.
So, now I am forced to come up with a thought of my own, and none appear to be forthcoming. How about now? Nope. Now? Still no. Let me check the news . . . Well, that was depressing.
I wish I had something more for you, but I don't. Let me think . . . Nope, still nothing. Sorry. I think, however, I can take some comfort in the fact that awesomeness just can't simply return overnight. Just because the calendar rolled around to a different year doesn't mean that these thoughts are magically going to start to appear.
It may take time. The important thing, they say, is not to give up after hitting your first roadblock. So, we shall think of this as that first stumble, and get right back and try again next Thursday.
True, I could try later in the day today, as there is still time, but I think we both know that's not going to happen.
OH! But if you are just itching for something to read, today (and tomorrow) my book, Bloody Love, is available for free on the Kindle. That's right, FREE. Today and tomorrow only. It's not often I do the free thing, so you better grab it now. Otherwise, you'll have to pay 99 cents, which isn't much, so, heck, why not wait until it comes off FREE and is 99 cents again? Then I'll actually get money if you buy it. That sounds like a better plan to me. So, forget about downloading it today or tomorrow. Just wait until Saturday when it will be 99 cents again. Then, go ahead and buy it. Thanks!

November 20 2006
The public is invited to attend a reception honoring these artists on Friday, Dec. 1 from 5 to 7 p.m
Frasier, from Evansville, received a BS in Graphic Design from the University of Evansville, where she now teaches. She will receive an M.F.A. in Graphic Design. During her graduate studies at ISU she has explored the topic of colorblindness and the issues it raises. This led her to develop an educational kit on colorblindness targeting early elementary teachers and their students, hoping to create greater awareness and acceptance. She will be exhibiting the kit as well as other works from the past two years.
Page, from Terre Haute, received a B.S. at Hardin-Simmons College in Abilene,Texas, and will receive an M.F.A. in Photography from ISU. She will be exhibiting color photographs which explore rhythm in nature. While acknowledging that rhythm is more obvious in music than in visual art, she seeks to make it inherent to her images, as something that is both seen and felt. Her belief is that, for the visually impaired it is possible to feel the rhythm in her works, even if the exact image cannot be perceived.
Rakochy, originally from Evanston, Ill., received a B.A. from Knox College in Galesburg, IL, and will be receiving an M.F.A. in Ceramics from ISU. She views her ceramic sculptures as physical manifestations of the thought patterns that direct her life's decisions, as abstractions of her chosen path.

A couple days ago I wrote a post about my alter-ego, Helga, that very interestingly took on a life of its own via the comments.
I let go the actual post and fell into what everyone was sharing. Wow. Within those comments you have the meaning of Christmas. They're varied and all great – take a moment to read them!
Where I am in life was most certainly influenced by much that happened in my past. It wasn't always white farmhouse, red barns, and being the Keeper. There were tough times, I had my own demons to deal with, and everything that happened in my life, I believe, pointed me in this direction and helped to bring me here. As hard as some times were, looking back …. I wouldn't trade any of them. I wouldn't have the appreciation for life that I have today. And you, readers, were good to remind me.
I believe keeping this blog and the readers that keep it going have life lessons for all…..we are doing good sharing.
And you-know-what? None of us knows what tomorrow might bring – so, as the readers so eloquently shared, be thankful for what you have today.
Some of the comments:
– I could be completely selfish and ask for material items for the holidays… but I think, if I'm being totally honest, the one thing I want this Christmas is to know that whatever troubles I have in my life now, that they will be behind me by the time Christmas 2011 comes around.
– I want for my children to smile and realize how deeply they are loved. I want for them to understand how much their existance has touched my life and to see how happy they've made and kept me – even through some turbulent times. I want them to know how very special they are and that I believe in every single ounce of them. I want them to be able to always feel my arms wrapped tightly around them, even when we're apart.
– What I want most for the New Year is something that I have complete control over: I'd like to be more grounded, more peaceful, more compassionate and patient . . . . damn this inner peace crap is hard! It's the journey, right?

Next week American Airline's first Boeing 777-300ER (77W) will fly from Dallas (DFW) to Sao Paulo Brazil (SAO) on the 31st of this month (which Chris Sloan from Airchive.com will be sharing his experience with AirlineReporter.com). Before then, it needed to be painted in American's new livery and now it has. We have seen computer mock-ups of the 777 and a real 737 in the livery, but now we can see the 777-300ER in its new threads. The big question: Is it growing on you?
Other American Livery Stories:
- American Airlines Boeing 737 in new livery at JFK
- Some additional thoughts on American's new livery
- American Airlines unveils new look, livery and logo
- Is this Boeing 737 prepped for American's new livery (we know now the answer was yes)
Now, American is pretty good at making interesting videos. I would assume that one is in process showing the 777 being painted, so maybe we will be seeing one soon.

Don't despair, citizens of San Diego.
Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said after finishing his usual postgame officials report for the NFL, he felt head referee Ed Hochuli and his crew did a fine job officiating the game Sunday at Invesco Field.
"This was the best crew that we've had in the last 20 crews I've graded," Shanahan said. "They did a heckuva job."
Take comfort, Norv Turner. The Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers, 39-38 Sunday on a touchdown pass and two-point conversion from quarterback Jay Cutler to receiver Eddie Royal with 24 seconds remaining.
The Chargers didn't think Cutler and Royal should have had a chance for such final-second heroics. With 1:17 remaining, the Broncos had the ball second-and-goal from the 1, when the ball slipped out of Cutler's hands just before he was attempting to pass for a fumble that San Diego recovered.
But Hochuli had prematurely blown his whistle while signaling an incomplete pass. Hochuli confessed his error to Turner, the Chargers' coach, but by rule, because he had already blown the whistle he could only rule a fumble, not a recovery.
Instead of Chargers' ball, game over, the Broncos got the ball at the 10 yard line, which is where the fumble hit the ground.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league's competition committee would look into altering the rule at season's end. But that doesn't help the Chargers now, and it probably won't prevent the occasional bum call from affecting a game in the future.
"Every game that you see that's within a point or a field goal you can go back and there might a non-call, there might be a call — that's the nature of this game," Shanahan said. "You've got to find a way to win. We've still got third-and-10. We've still got to get it in the end zone. Third-and-10, fourth-and-4 and then we've got to make a 2-point. It's not like somebody gave you a touchdown."
Shanahan said defensive tackle Josh Shaw played the second half despite a lacerated calf that later required 40 stitches. …

Posted on Shaper?
30147 posts in 2772 days
#1 posted 11-03-2012 03:07 PM
Before we got our first molder we had seven Powermatic shapers. We used them for all sorts of things and quite often. They are a valuable machine and can take a much heavier cut than a router can. They are a dangerous machine if not used with care. However, in some ways they can be safer than a router. I don't think that a shaper should be one of the first machines a small shop should have, however, but once you get your basic machines then a shaper can be a nice addition. An automatic feeder can also make a very nice addition to a shaper.

Comments about Front Zip Back Support Bra:
Love the comfort of this bra and the ease of putting it on with a ad shudder. Had to pull up sides of a regular bra which is why I wanted this type of bra. It is very comfortable, but I would have liked more support as I am large berated. Overall, I would probably buy another if there were other colors.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A FOURTH man has been charged by police in connection with the alleged murder of a man in Edinburgh.
Mohammed Omar Abdi, 25, died of gunshot wounds after a car chase in the Willowbrae area of the capital on 26 May.
A 25-year-old man is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court later.
Ahmed Hussain Ahmed, 27, Cadil Huseen, 22, and Muhamud Muhamud, 29, all from London, have already appeared in court earlier charged with murder. They remain in custody.
Following the chase a dark blue VW Sharan was found smashed into railings on Abercorn Avenue at around 1am.
Mr Abdi was found lying nearby with gunshot wounds.
He was rushed to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where he died soon after. A second man was found injured shortly after police were called to the incident, but survived.
The alleged murder sparked a major police investigation and high-visibility patrols in the weeks which followed.

The only way for the Quads to not become 100% mandatory, though, is for the PCS to be scored correctly. You have to win the competition on PCS if you can't win it technically. That's why overscoring is such a huge problem. If you give a Quad skater a 9 for Performance/Choreography/Interpretation when they really deserve an 8 or less, then there is no room for a masterful program and performance without a Quad to ever win.
For example, I think Jeremy Abbott's performance at the 2008 GPF would have deserved to beat Patrick Chan's at 2011 Worlds. That never would have happened with the way the judges hand out their scores, though. And the scoring system itself is still flawed because mistakes on jumps are not penalized enough. The -GOE deductions need to be increased.

US to guarantee Jordanian sovereign 5-year bond
Jordan has signed the second sovereign loan guarantee agreement with the US, which will allow the kingdom to access affordable financing from international capital markets, Jordan Times has reported. The $1.25bn agreement ensures that Jordan can continue to "provide critical services to its citizens as it enacts transformative economic reforms and hosts 600,000 refugees who have fled the violence inside Syria," the US embassy said. Pursuant to the loan guarantee agreement, the US would guarantee repayment of principal and interest on the issuance of up to a $1bn, five-year Jordanian sovereign bond. This follows the US guarantee for a $1.25bn issuance last year.

Motorists pay no heed to crosswalks
Published 3:03 pm, Tuesday, July 1, 2014
I must comment on the recent letter by Mr. Frederick Paul Crowe in The News-Times about crosswalks.
First, it was a great letter. The crosswalks here are a dangerous place to be, as a great deal of the motorists driving around this city DO NOT yield to people in the crosswalks. I think it is time that motorist take a refresher course.
The answer Mr. Crowe got from the police department is typical of them; it is like we are bothering them. I know there are a lot of roads to cover here, but also there are a lot of crosswalks that need the same type of coverage.
Yes, Mr. Crowe, Danbury and other cities and town should put foot patrols back into play here like they did in the days past to aid and assist the citizens of this city. Motorists sure would stop if they saw a uniform police officer at certain crosswalks here. I walk a lot and use a cane, sometimes trying to cross the street at a crosswalk is very difficult and I have to wait a long time for a car to actually stop.
Also, I have found that some things I have said in a letter to the police chief and to the mayor also go on deaf ears; the speeding and extremely loud car mufflers going up and down Franklin Street still continue and have never been addressed nor has any action been taken to correct this.
You are right, Mr. Crowe, "this world is phony."

Box Office Briefs: Alien Invasion Works for Battle: Los Angeles, But Not for Mars Needs Moms
Alien invasion, it's not for everybody.
It sure is working for Sony, which will release its PG-13-rated Battle: Los Angeles into over 3,300 theaters this weekend. The little-green-men thriller, which stars Aaron Eckhart, Avatar's Michelle Rodriguez and a bunch of actors you've never heard of, is expected to lead the box office with more than $30 million this weekend.
That'll be decent coin for Sony, which says it paid about $70 million to make the film about humanity's last stand in LaLa Land. Battle: L.A. -- a mixture of Black Hawk Down and Independence Day, according to my mix-master friends who've seen it -- is not beloved by critics, who have given it a 34 percent score in aggregate on Rotten Tomatoes.
On the other side of the coin, Disney is prepping to take an absolute bath on CG-animated family film Mars Needs Moms, which cost over $150 million to make but doesn't look like it'll crack the $15 million mark this weekend.
The movie was shot using one of Robert Zemeckis's funky motion-capture schemes, which mixes real-life actor motion with computers and isn't a filmmaking technique exactly known for producing the kind of warm, fuzzy images that typically render CG family films hits (see the filmmaker's mega-expensive A Christmas Carol from 2009).
According to "tracking" companies, which interview moviegoers to gauge their knowledge of upcoming films and their intent to see them, only 3% of people surveyed say Mars Needs Moms is the movie they want to see most (it's 16% for Battle: L.A.). The film is expected to take in only around $10 million this weekend, which won't help your Disney stock if you own any.
Meanwhile, arriving in theaters with the wolf a bit further away from its door, Warner's Red Riding Hood stars Amanda Seyfried as its source material's intrepid forest adventurer. Former Big Love and Dear John star Seyfried has the track record of an up and coming box-office star, but barirng a fairy tale ending this weekend, this movie won't be a breakout hit … although it won't be a miss either. The $42 million movie is expected to gross just under $20 million this weekend.
Holding strong, meanwhile, will likely be Johnny Depp CG film Rango, which seems to be catching buzz more with adults than with kids. The Paramount movie should gross more than $20 million in its second weekend.
Besides the individual performances, box office watchers will be tuned into to see if the overall weekend will be up year-over-year -- a situation that has only happened once this year at suddenly slumping domestic multiplexes. The number to beat this weekend is the $135.7 million made in the second weekend of March last year, when Alice in Wonderland was in its second week.
Tip: Put your money on the under -- Battle: L.A. can't save the movie business, either.
Here's how we think the box office will shape up this weekend:
Which one of these people is in the movie Justice League?

So then if you use { S rdfs:seeAlso O } then O is used with a dereferencable http/https scheme URI which deferences to an information resource with a representation in any format which may or may not have something to do with the subject of the triple. Apologies, previously I'd thought the O was a name which you'd look for in the subject position of other statements. (as in, any RDF URI Reference, any scheme, or any blank node).

Well, another stressful tax-free weekend has come and gone and I am still recuperating. I have been looking for a sofa for the last three or four years and the shopping trip hadn't become any easier. All my very caring, loving friends told me that going out on Saturday and Sunday to furniture stores is not the way you're supposed to do it. I should have headed out at least a week before, found what I liked and then, buy it on the special weekend.
Well, another stressful tax-free weekend has come and gone and I am still recuperating. I have been looking for a sofa for the last three or four years and the shopping trip hadn't become any easier. All my very caring, loving friends told me that going out on Saturday and Sunday to furniture stores is not the way you're supposed to do it. I should have headed out at least a week before, found what I liked and then, buy it on the special weekend.
I know that; it's the same advice I've given myself over and over again — yet here I was, in the middle of Saturday afternoon, going out shopping for my sofa for the first time this year. If I had to analyze my behavior it's because deep down I'm terrified to make a permanent decision. I don't like final sales; I only like to buy something I know I can return, even if I don't always do so. That's my psychological safety net. Only it doesn't quite work that way with a sofa — a chair, maybe; a rug, maybe; a dress, definitely!
I never buy the first greeting card I read even if I like the saying because I might find something I like better. If I do find a sweater, or pants or something else I like, I won't commit to it until I continue looking to make sure, you guessed it, that I don't miss something I really want.
Once my husband got to understand me, he marveled that I married him without hesitation. And, I didn't even have to check to make sure I could return him; he was a final sale.
So, there I was, in the car Saturday afternoon, off on my quest, determined that this was the weekend I was going to buy my sofa. And that's even though I didn't do my shopping in advance, although, since I've been there, done that before, I wasn't too concerned. After all, the next tax-free day is only a year away.
I programmed the GPS and argued with the lady's voice all the way. Had I followed her directions I would have been back home. When I finally arrived and climbed the stairs to the showroom, 92-year-old Al met me at the entrance. A veteran furniture salesman, he had owned his own store in Boston for more than 50 years. He shows up to help on busy Saturdays. But it was 40-year-old Zach who came to my rescue.
Zach worked for one of the furniture companies and he came to assist the owners for the day. Zach offered to accompany me on my sofa journey, which has truly been that, a new-ending journey. I warned him in advance though. I told Zach that I find this kind of shopping stressful; I have difficulty making decisions; and I have a bad habit of second-guessing myself and dwelling on the "should haves," you know, I should have bought the other one. Then I smiled sweetly and said to Zach, "Well, are you up for the challenge?" Bless his heart, he was. We looked at every sofa in the place and sat in most of them, even when they weren't from his company. I love blue and I kept circling back to one blue sofa that was on sale if you bought the floor sample. I thought to myself this is perfect, I don't have to wait and see it made up and I can have it right away. That is, until I put my hand up on the back cushion and said, "This is itchy." Blue sofa on sale was out, but not the style though it meant ordering from color swatches so, of course, I had to bring several fabric samples home to see how they looked in different light.
So, you probably want to know if I went back the next day with my decision to order a sofa. You'll be happy to know I did but on the way I first had to go to the Apple store to buy a new computer mouse because mine died Sunday morning. (OK, so maybe it was a welcome excuse not to rush back to the furniture store.) And, to delay things further, I checked out sofas at Macy's and also, though not on the way, but out of the way, I stopped into a big furniture store to check out their sofas because so many people asked why I hadn't since "everybody buys furniture there."
People have begun to ask me when the sofa is going to arrive. I don't know what they're expecting; it's just a very plain Wedgwood blue micro fiber sofa that fabric-wise, passes the Misty mini-schnauzer test for wear ability. It won't get here for four to six weeks, which means I have four to six weeks before I start to have angst once again.
My neighbor Sue Farmer has great taste in home, garden and fashion and she's very organized so I know that any event she's involved with will be terrific. With that kind of imprimatur you can be sure the upcoming Catholic Charities North fashion show, "Fashion Forward for Education," will take center stage at the Danversport Yacht Club, Sept. 26, at 5:30 p.m., and be fabulous. This ladies night out features dinner and a runway show highlighting fashions from Carlisle Collection, J Mode, Irresistibles and Giblee's Menswear and Revival Fashion Consignment, both of Danvers. To further the Danvers connection, En Vogue salon, will be doing hair and makeup for all the women including Jayne Patrikas one of the seven Danvers models. Jayne is a partner at the elegant Maison Esthetique spa. All proceeds from the evening will benefit education and training services for at-risk youth at Catholic Charities North, because, as they say, "the best accessory for any woman is an education."

Remember when I spoke about the news reported in the media saying it can't really be made up? What got my attention this week is the judge in Tennessee who changed a baby's name from Messiah to Martin. "The word Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ," Judge Lu Ann Ballew ruled, without even being asked. So, now they're changing babies' names. Tch, tch, what's next?
Since Messiah was No. 4 among the fastest-rising baby names in 2012, according to the Social Security Administration's annual list of popular baby names, does this mean that magistrates now have to go around and change the name of all those babies? I don't think so. I think the name should be changed for a more basic reason, which no one seems to have thought of, the kid's nickname. If Theodore is Ted or Teddy, Frederick is Fred or Freddy and Edward Ed or Eddy, well then Messiah will certainly become Mess or Messy. Enough said!
On Wednesday, Aug. 7, I helped the 50th St. Richard anniversary committee under Patty Chisholm serve at the Oniontowne Jam Concert at the Rotary Pavilion. As Gardner Trask, lead singer, pointed out, this was the band's premier and finale all at the same time and that's pretty hard to do. St. Richard's helpers included Joni Pesola, Paul Chisholm, Marge and Tom Leonard, Altie Nichols, Jack, Kathy and Dave Gannon, Mary O'Connor, Anna and Frank Bertini, Joan, Joe Sadoway, Michelle and Joe Amari, Mary and Ray Jalbert, Christine Newhall-Hoefner, Evie and Phil Fraser and Betsy Geheb, I apologize if I've inadvertently left out someone's name but thank you for your help.
It was an incredible night and lots of hard work on the part of the committee. Although I had hoped they would have raised more money, expenses were high and it was the first time. Though it's nice to raise money, since it's the church's mission to give back to the community, it was extremely successful. And that is definitely the way Father Bruce Flannagan looks at it. I bumped into Father Bruce at the North Shore Mall the other day. He was sorry to have missed the evening but he had another commitment and it's not possible to be in two places at the same time, he said. I don't know about that; with the way technology is advancing, someday we may be able to clone people someday although I assume that is a long way off.
Father Bruce thanked me for my volunteer efforts. Betsy Geheb, in a thank you email, mentioned the highlights of the event including "Myrna Fearer becoming an honoring member of Team St. Richard." And Father Bruce wanted to know if they sent me an envelope yet. Just so you all know, I'm really not planning to convert.
The other evening I spoke with Henry McDermott at New Brothers Deli. Henry, who retired from Eastern Propane, I believe, works as a part time pall bearer and with all the wakes I've attended recently, I often see him as well as other retirees who have taken up the profession in their retirement. I don't know if there is a psychological component in play or just a financial one or maybe the guys just like the camaraderie. After all, you do see most of the people in town even if some of them are lying down.
Henry is a proud member of the Danvers High Class of 1963, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary next month. He shared the wonderful news — this class is donating the Town Seal that will grace the floor of the hallway of the new school. The reunion class will be touring the school on Saturday, Sept. 14, when they will have an opportunity to view their class gift and Henry wanted to know if I could be there. Sorry, folks, it's Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, and I'll be in temple praying.
I wasn't going to remind you about the Hospice Walk benefit from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., tonight in the Atrium Cafe at 75 Sylvan St., but I will. Tickets are $40 each, which includes incredible hors d'oeuvres from Henry's and a Sangria fountain and a delicious Treadwell's ice cream smorgasbord for dessert. There will be lots of excitement with a carnival theme, great gifts to bid on in a silent and live auction, and exciting opportunities to win bottles of wine and other gifts. Check with the Hospice office at 75 Sylvan St. to see if they can accommodate you. It should be lots of fun.
This Saturday, Aug. 17, the Parents for Music Excellence and the Marching band are collaborating on a car wash, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Firestone Tire & Service parking lot in front of Liberty Tree Mall. The price is only $5 for the personalized service. Tickets are available from band students at the car wash. Proceeds benefit the band program.
We want to give you the heads up on the annual and lots of fun Kiwanis Duck Race on Saturday, Sept. 21, at Pope's Landing. Because of the tides that day, the race, usually held in the morning, won't be able to take off until 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 each with the bargain offer of 6 for $25 or a family of 13 for $50. First prize is $1,500; second prize, $500; and third prize $300. There will also be 10 runner-up prizes. Don't worry if you can't get there for the race; you don't have to be present to win.
As soon as the race is over and the snacks are gone, you can swing over to the Wenham Tea House for John Keohane's "Oktoberfest." The $10 donation, which includes all-you-can eat knockwurst, bratwurst, hot dogs, giant pretzels, wine and beers to sample and ice cream for dessert. There's also a traditional Oompah band. The fun event, which runs 2 to 5 p.m., is the kickoff to the Walk for Hospice of the North Shore & Greater Boston the next day, Sunday, Sept. 22. The walk takes off at 9 a.m., from the campus of St. John's Prep. Eager arrivals can do the walk a lot earlier if they wish.
And that, my friends, in tribute to the late radio show host Paul Harvey, is "the rest of the story." Enjoy the beautiful weekend that we've been promised.

Anxiety and self esteem tend to be inversely proportional, when one is high, the other is low.
In our last post, we looked at how dealing with a lifetime of anxiety and panic lead to my having a very low self esteem. My situation is not unique. Those of us with anxiety disorders often beat ourselves up mentally. Therefore, we can certainly benefit from increased self esteem.
So without ado, here are 7 Ways to Increase Self Esteem:
1. Start your day on the right foot. Before you leave in the morning, look at yourself in the mirror and give yourself the biggest, most loving smile in the world. (Even better: give yourself a hug!) Say aloud 'I can handle anything that comes my way today!'
2. Greet everyone you meet today with a pleasant face and direct eye contact. You don't need to have a big goofy grin, just a pleasant face. This conveys confidence and spreads good will. Making eye contact is excellent practice for overcoming social anxiety.
3. Act As If you have a healthy self confidence. When you ACT AS IF you have confidence again and again, eventually it starts to become a habit. It only takes about 2 to 3 dozen repetitions for the human brain to learn a new behavior. So ACT AS IF and you soon will be!
4. Don't center your conversations around your problems. Instead try to focus on positive, healthy things: that great new recipe you tried, a new book you recommend, how nice it is that spring will be here soon, your daughter is really enjoying her dance class, etc. You get the picture 😉
5. Watch for negative behaviors. Notice if you are eating when not hungry, spending too much time alone, avoiding activities, or blaming others for your problems. These are clues that you feel bad about something. Pinpoint the negative behavior (such as eating when you're not hungry) and figure out what it is that you feel bad about. You might identify that you feel frustrated because you have so much work to do. Then do something about it—make a list of what you need to do, and start tackling one task at a time.
6. Take positive action steps every day towards your goals. Your goal may be to overcome your generalized anxiety disorder. Things you can do today: read a great book on the subject such as Hope and Help for Your Nerves or Panic Away, get active on anxiety forums.
Do something little to challenge your fears – go for a drive, take a little walk, go to the grocery store… Then talk to a support person, leave a comment here, or journal about how you did.
7. Practice gratitude. Having an attitude of gratitude is proven to increase the overall quality of life. It is also and excellent tool to get you out of a slump. Think upon the things you are grateful in your life. Make an A to Z gratitude list in your head or on paper. Just let your thoughts free flow and plug in something for every letter.
Here's an example of how I can start my A to Z gratitude list today:
- A – I am thankful for Al-Anon. It is a wonderful program and I have made many lifelong friends there.
- B – I am grateful for my dog Buddy. He is the best dog in the world and he loves me like crazy.
- C – I am grateful for Challenges. I may not like it at the time, but after the fact, I am grateful for challenges. Every time I meet a challenge, I get an inner lift, and my spirit soars.
By the time you're done with this list, you will feel fantastic.
Some of these behaviors might feel odd at first, but I'm here to say they really do work, so do them anyways. 🙂 As you increase self esteem, you start to feel better about yourself, and your anxiety will lessen.
It took me awhile to learn not to center my conversations around my problems. For years this was all I ever did – I was a real downer. But when I started to talk about lighter subjects, I felt better and I truly believe this helped me 😉
Use these tips to help you increase self esteem. If you have a tip, please share it so we can all benefit! 🙂
I wish you peace,
Jill G.

Week 3: RB Roundup
Pittsburgh Steelers
Felix Jones (starter); Le' Veon Bell; Isaac Redman; Jonathan Dwyer
Current scenario: We are now two weeks into the season and Pittsburgh is still seeking a starting running back. Week one starter Isaac Redman has done little to impress rushing seven times for eight yards against the Titans and three carries for four yards against the Bengals. In week 2 Felix Jones got the start for Pittsburgh and he too did little to ensure a continued starting role rushing for just 37 yards on 10 carries. Things appear bleak for the Pittsburgh backfield and fantasy owners should avoid everything Pittsburgh related until further notice.
Future scenario: Bell returned to practice this week, but when he'll return to the field is still up in the air. If the rookie is still available and you have some roster room, now would be a good time to acquire him. Bell is almost a sure fire start when he returns; after all, he can't do much worse than what we've seen from Redman and Jones thus far.
Cincinnati Bengals
BenJarvus Green-Ellis (starter); Giovani Bernard (handcuff); Cedric Peerman; Rex Burkhead
Current scenario: Green-Ellis may be the starter in week 3, but all eyes will be on the rookie Bernard. In Week 2 against the Steelers, it was Bernard scoring the team's only two touchdowns with a seven yard run and a 27 yard reception. Not only did the rookie out of North Carolina post better numbers than fellow back Green-Ellis, but also did so with fewer touches. Things seem to be working for the Bengals, so it could be some time before Bernard sees an increase in playing time.
Future scenario: We think Bernard should be the every down back. Eventually the Bengals brass will agree. However, what matters is wins and so long as the Bengals continue winning, we're unlikely to see a change in the backfield. The only change we may see is more touches for Bernard, which means fewer for the Law Firm. This will only make fantasy owners crazier because when this happens they'll have to guess which back will have the hot hand in any given week. Neither back is a strong RB2, but both could be used as a flex start.
Cleveland Browns
Willis McGahee, Bobby Rainey; Chris Ogbonnaya
Current scenario: In a stunning move, the Browns traded away Trent Richardson, the No. 3 overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft, to the Colts for a 2014 first rounder. This move will give the Browns 10 picks in the 2014 draft and could very well be what they need to rebuild this franchise. From a fantasy perspective, this means Rainey, Ogbonnaya or possibly Willis McGahee will be the new starting back in Cleveland. Rainey and Ogbonnaya have modest deep league appeal, but Week 3 is looking like a stay-away situation.
Future scenario: Don't count on the newly signed McGahee producing this week - or even playing - but he's the best bet for fantasy production, limited as it may be.
Indianapolis Colts
Trent Richardson (starter); Ahmad Bradshaw (handcuff); Donald Brown
Current scenario: The one piece of the puzzle missing for the Colts the past few years is a workhorse type running back. Wednesday's trade for Trent Richardson has filled that gap and now the Colts have a powerful one-two punch with Andrew Luck and Richardson in the backfield. Week 3 may not be a great one for Richardson as the Colts face a tough 49ers defense and he'll be playing largely on instinct. The good news is he'll be playing. So will Bradshaw, but likely in a decreased role with passing down responsibilities. Expect a shared backfield for now, but not for long.
Future scenario: Indy didn't add Richardson to share the backfield, though Bradshaw's veteran experience will help everyone. Playing with Luck and company boosts Richardson's overall scoring potential.
Green Bay Packers
Eddie Lacy (starter); James Starks; Johnathan Franklin; John Kuhn;
Current scenario: Suffering from a concussion sustained Week 2 against the Redskins, Eddie Lacy will likely sit out this weekend's game against the Bengals. This means James Starks, who shredded Washington when called upon, will get the start for Green Bay. Though Starks became Green Bay's first 100-yard runner since the 2010 season, don't expect a repeat against the Bengals' seventh ranked run defense.
Future scenario: If Starks continues to play well, the Packers will be hard pressed to bring Lacy back quickly. History says owners shouldn't fear this scenario seeing as Starks has a history of injuries and poor production. Green Bay drafted Lacy (and Franklin for a reason); and sharing carries is the NFL norm these days. Since Lacy is a rookie, there might be scenarios where the Packers lessen his load. This is his backfield when healthy.

If the championship round of the Lori Bourn Tournament is any indication, keeping a lid on Tia Joubert and the Assabet Regional girls� basketball team this tournament season will be no easy task.
The Aztecs claimed the championship with a stunning 44-42 victory over West Boylston on Wednesday night, only moments after it appeared to be all gloom and doom for the visitors.
Joubert (21 points) hobbled off the floor with less than two minutes left after aggravating a knee injury she sustained earlier this month.
The junior guard didn�t stay out for long. Seconds later, she returned and fed Brianna Donnellon for a quick basket, popped in a 3-pointer to tie it at 42-42 with 39 seconds remaining, and closed it out with a bucket off a feed from Hunter Drake with 10 seconds left.
�I hurt the knee two weeks ago, then hurt it last night,� Joubert said. �It�s the adrenaline that keeps it going, I guess. You have to go off when they come out for you, but I didn�t want to be on the bench with two minutes left.�
�She�s banged up as hell,� Assabet coach Frank Farreer added. �She won�t be able to move tomorrow, but she was big tonight.�
The Lions� Amy Peterson led all scorers with 24 points in a game that was a roller-coaster ride from start to finish. West Boylston pulled ahead by eight in the first quarter, but fell behind by four at halftime. The Aztecs managed only two free throws in the third quarter, while Peterson, Halley Cranston and Katelynn Rizzuto clamped down defensively to give the Lions a 32-27 lead going into final quarter.
Joubert began the late rally with a steal and feed to Immaculate Nyaigoti (11 points), then another theft and a coast-to-coast bucket to bring Assabet within two, 33-31, with 5:35 left. Later, two more West Boylston turnovers resulted in 3-pointers from Drake and Joubert to put the Aztecs up by six.
The Lions seemed to take advantage of Joubert�s moment of weakness in the final two minutes, as Jenna Coviello�s bucket, Peterson�s spin-and-scoop layup and then a put-back gave them a five-point lead before Joubert, favoring her knee momentarily, began the final surge.
�It looked like one was going to pull away and then another was going to pull away,� Ferreer noted. �West Boylston is very aggressive, but I thought we did a fabulous job on the boards.�

Discovery rulings in IPR proceedings so far reveal that the APJs are resisting any attempt at expansive litigation-type discovery. Two of the recent discovery rulings relate to the patent holder's requests relating to objective evidence of non-obviousness. In Garmin International Inc. v. Cuozzo Speed Technologies LLC (IPR2012-00001), patent holder Cuozzo sought discovery for evidence of commercial success brought on by Garmin's use of the patented feature. In particular, Cuozzo sought interrogatory answers, documents, as well as the deposition of a corporate representative (in the manner of a 30(b)(6) deposition under the Federal Rules) for information about the design, development, and commercialization of the patented feature in Garmin's products, as well as Garmin's own views about the commercial success attributable to the patented feature. The discovery requests were denied for a number of reasons, including Cuozzo's failure to demonstrate a nexus between commercial success and the patented features.


text: Hi, This past weekend I decided to replace my excessively noisy PC router/server with my quieter PM 7300. I had previously used this machine with NetBSD but it crashed fairly frequently, something I attribute to an incorrect cache setting. But now the system appears stable, but that's when it boots. Half of the time, it hangs while loading the stage 2 booter, somewhere in the numbers "01234.....," or after displaying the NetBSD booter header, and hanging with a "/" of the spinning cursor. Other times, it just doesn't start the stage 2, saying "no bootable HFS partition" or "DEFAULT CATCH." The thing is, it was actually working quite well until yesterday, when I decided to take my Radeon out of it and replace it with another card. Ideally, I'd use the on-board video, but I'm not sure it likes to boot without a monitor and keyboard attached on the internal card. Since I had to reset my OFW settings and boot into MacOS to change the video card settings for it, I lost whatever setting I made that actually made it work stably. I've tried using the XPostFacto nvramrc patches (what I think I was using with the Radeon), the System Disk patches, and patchless. Each brings its own set of fun errors. Does anyone have any idea how to help me? For clarification, the system is a 7300 with a NewerTech 250mhz G3 upgrade, 160mb RAM and a 18gb SCSI disk hooked up with a 68->50 pin adapter. I also have an Intel ethernet card and a Silicon Image IDE card, all of which were working fine before I decided to change settings yesterday. Thanks!
