I finally finished the Sabuko path split!
What's next? Cleaning up all the paths and resolving all the splits. This is going to take a little bit of time too, but the last path split menu has been programmed! My writing goal for the week? W-what writing goal? T_T
The game contains 5,231 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 46,694 words,
for an average of 8.9 words per screen.
The game contains 28 menus.
IRL stuff came up this week, unfortunately. Some good stuff has happened too though, and that's also taking up my time. I'm not upset about that though! XD
I recently acquired http://vnovel.com/ It may or may not have cost me eating out for a long, long, time. Anyway, if you want a subdomain at that site, go check it out. It has a link to the thread explaining the conditions. Well, I'm exhausted.
There's not much more to announce, other than that… ALL THE ETERNAL MEMORIES CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT DESIGNED NOW! That's right, we've got designs for all the characters started, and there's just a little bit more to do before the designs for all the characters will be finalized.
Pictures? You're going to have to wait on that one. They're still a while off. 😛

Glenohumeral Joint
The glenohumeral joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for the arm to move in a circular rotation as well as movement of the arm towards and away from the body. The motion that the glenohumeral joint provides is flexion, extension, abduction and adduction. For images of these movements, see http://www.exrx.net/Articulations/Shoulder.html#anchor105322 (1).
The glenohumeral joint is a ball-and socket joint that is formed between two bones, the humerus and the scapula. The humerus head, acting as the ball, fits into the end of the scapula known as the glenoid, the socket. In this specific joint, the humerus head, however, does not fit perfectly within the glenoid because the humerus head is much larger than the surface area of the glenoid socket. This size discrepancy creates a situation where the two bones do not snugly fit together without the help of other physical structures. Thus this joint is dependent upon other structures for stability (2).
The most important piece of cartilage is the labrum, otherwise descibed as the articular cartilage. The labrum is a piece of cartilage that lies directly between the the humerus head and the glenoid. This piece of cartilage provides a smooth surface that allows for the humerus head to rotate with minimal friction, thus cushioning both the humerus and the scapula. Also, the labrum is shaped like a ring, with the outer part of the labrum being much thicker than the center of the ring. This specific shape allows for the labrum to fit against the humerus head and the glenoid, physically matching up the larger humerus head with the small surface of the glenoid. Thus the labrum is also very important for the stabilization of the joint (3).
Rotator Cuff
The main muscles that are used in conjunction with the glenohumeral joint are the group of muscles known as the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is made up of four muscles, the supraspinatus, subscapularis, infraspinatus, and teres minor. All four of these muscles connect the scapula to the humerus. One main purpose of the rotator cuff muscles is to pull the humerus into the scapula such that the two bones are fitted tightly against one another. Thus rotator cuff muscles are important for stabilizing the glenohumeral joint. Strengthening of the rotator cuff helps prevent further instability and repeat damage after the shoulder has dislocated. The other important role of the rotator cuff is to help with movement of the arm, particularly the rotation of the arm. The supraspinatus helps with abduction of the arm, and is particularly susceptible to injury during flexion and abduction of the arm (4).
In addition to the labrum and the rotator cuff muscles, other structures exist that help with the stabilization and movement of the joint. There are four ligaments that help with the glenohumeral joint. These ligaments are the coracohumeral ligament (between the coracoid process and the humerus) and the three glenohumeral ligaments (between the glenoid and the humerus) (5).

Results tagged ' Carlos Gonzalez '
Time to get started
It's time to turn on the radio and dream of a regular season ahead. The Rockies will open Cactus League play today at 1:05 p.m. against the D-backs at Tucson Electric Park. Here is the Rockies' lineup.
2B Eric Young Jr.
1B Paul Lo Duca
CF Carlos Gonzalez
RF Ryan Spilborghs
LF Seth Smith
C Chris Iannetta
3B Ian Stewart
SS Jonathan Herrera
RHP Jason Hammel
Here is the rest of the Rockies' pitching schedule for today: LHP Jorge De La Rosa, RHP Manuel Corpas, RHP Juan Rincon and LHP Franklin Morales. The backups, in case any pitcher struggles, are right-handers Alberto Alburquerque, Shane Lindsay, Edgmer Escalona and Andrew Johnston.
D-backs pitchers will be RHP Billy Buckner, RHP T.J. Beam, RHP Bob Howry, LHP Tom Layne and RHP Leo Rosales.
Roster set for Cactus League opener
With the Rockies having to play split-squad games in Scottsdale and Tempe on Friday, several frontline players are getting the day off Thursday when the Cactus League schedule opens against the D-backs at Tucson Electric Park.
Making the short trip across Tucson will be both projected catchers, Chris Iannetta and Miguel Olivo, third baseman Ian Stewart, and outfielders Carlos Gonzalez, Seth Smith and Ryan Spilborghs. That means first baseman Todd Helton, second baseman Clint Barmes, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, center fielder Dexter Fowler and right fielder Brad Hawpe won't make it.
Fowler returned to the club after missing two days with a stomach bug. Fowler said he didn't lose more than a pound or so, but the Rockies told him to take it easy while working out Wednesday and gradually rebuild stamina. Hawpe also is working into condition after missing four days early in camp with an infected ingrown toenail.
Melvin Mora and Eric Young Jr., utility players who will be used in the infield and outfield, will make the trip. Manager Jim Tracy said early in the spring Mora would play third base, where he played last year for the Orioles, but he'll be worked into other positions, including the outfield and first base. Young played left field in Monday's intrasquad game, and will see time at third base and center field in addition to his natural positoin of second.
Corpas leaves Tracy pleased, other notes
Right-handed reliever Manuel Corpas, trying to return from an elbow injury that slowed him last season and trying to regain the form he showed in closing for the NL Champion Rockies in 2007, had a throwing Saturday session that left manager Jim Tracy encouraged.
Corpas has been nursing a hamstring problem this spring, but that wasn't a problem when he faced hitters Saturday.
"Let's go back and realize what I was watching from the other side of the field and what I saw take place in 2007," said Tracy, who managed the Pirates at that point. "This was a special guy.
"What I wanted to see today, which he showed me more than once is driving the ball down. This is a very effective guy when he's down in the zone."
— Two players in particular have stood out for Tracy.
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki hit .297 with 32 home runs and 92 RBIs last season. To do that, he had to overcome a bad start, as well as some bad habits in the batter's box.
Tracy said, "I remember looking him right in the eye and saying, 'A 6-foot-4-inch shortstop with a 5-foot-10-inch offensive approach … The first thing that you have to do in order to hit is stand up. They throw you a breaking ball and your head is going [upward] and the ball's going that way [downward].
Man, he's over it now."
Tracy also discussed left fieler Carlos Gonzalez. Like many special hitters, the ball sounds different, and travels differently.
Gonzalez can hit leadoff … or anywhere
By the end of last season, the Rockies' best lineup had left fielder Carlos Gonzalez hitting leadoff and center fielder Dexter Fowler hitting second.
Gonzalez began realizing his power potential with 12 home runs after the All-Star break last season. Such a performance begs an interesting question: Does Gonzalez fit lower in the order?
Manager Jim Tracy can see that, but said Wednesday that Gonzalez is a much better fit atop the lineup the way this team is constructed.
"Am I sitting here saying to you that as we go along that it wouldn't make sense that we give Brad Hawpe a much-deserved day off CarGo couldn't hit fifth? He certinly could," Tracy said. "But when you look at the structure of the club, this guy is tremendous — he's a five-tool player. Depending on where you put him in the lineup, are you taking part of his game away from him?
"No disrespect meant to Todd [Helton], but I'm not asking Todd to steal bases. If Todd Helton is on base in front of a 'Tulo' [Troy Tulowitzki] and let's say you put CarGo down there, then neither one of them would run."
Gonzalez, 24, stole 16 bases in 89 games last year. He and Fowler, who turns 24 on March 22 and finished last year with 27 steals, could make a jump in that category after a year's expereince,
Tulowitzki, Spilborghs and Hawpe arrive
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki showed up at Hi Corbett Field on Monday morning. So did outfielders Dexter Fowler and Ryan Spilborghs. The first full-squad workout isn't until Friday, but just about everyone is in. The only regulars who haven't been seen are outfielders Brad Hawpe and Seth Smith. But like the others, there is no concern about them being on time or in shape.
I saw Tulowitzki recently in Denver, and he said he was trying to curb is excitement because it's so early and the season is so long. Tulowitzki, a high-energy player, is still trying to contain himself. But that's a little harder to do now.
"Anytime my buddies or family ask if I'm excited for Spring Training to start, my answer is always I'm not as excited until I get here, and I see the guys, and I see the fields, and I see everybody that I basically go to work with," Tulowitzki said. "That kicks it into the next gear.
"Being here and putting your stuff in the locker and being in this atmosphere gets you ready to start playing."
Update: Was sitting and enjoying dinner when it hit me. There was one other position player I hadn't seen as of Sunday — outfielder Carlos Gonzalez. Well, it's the same as with Hawpe and Smith: He'll be ready.
Gonzalez staying off soggy ground
Rockies manager Jim Tracy emphasized Wednesday that left fielder Carlos Gonzalez's left hamstring is not strained or pulled. Gonzalez did leave Tuesday night's 11-10 victory over the Padres with tightness in the hamstring. But Tracy said that was for precautionary reasons.
Not putting him in the lineup on Wednesday was yet another precaution. It rained much of the day in Denver, and the temperature is likely not to be much higher than Tuesday's gametime temp of 48.
Seth Smith, who replaced Gonzalez on Tuesday, was in the lineup in left field and in the leadoff spot.
Tracy also announced that Rafael Betancourt, who suffered soreness in his right calf after pitching Saturday at Arizona, was to throw a touch-and-feel bullpen session, in hopes that he'll be available to return to game action soon.
Clean-shaven Helton in the lineup
Rockies first baseman Todd Helton survived. The beard and goatee that has been a part of him for recent years, however, is gone.
Helton was in the dugout when Carlos Gonzalez's line drive smashed into his left shin during the ninth inning of Friday night's 7-5 loss to the D-backs. Amazingly, Helton ws feeling no ill effects on Saturday and was back in the lineup. The pain had numbed his leg from his calf to his foot.
When Helton showed up at Chase Field on Saturday, Rockies manager Jim Tracy did a double-take, and not just because Helton was pain-free.
"He came into my office today and said he was my new first baseman," Tracy said, joking about the new look. "I said, 'Welcome to the team.'"
Tracy said the foul ball was frightening for everyone in the dugout.
"Somebody was looking out for us, I'll tell you that right now," Tracy said. "If that ball had hit him in the chest or in the face, there would have been serious, serious problems. We don't have our first baseman here. He's done."
Helton is batting third in a left-handed lineup against D-backs right-hander Max Scherzer. five of the first seven hitters swing from the left.
Saturday is a big game for the Rockies. The Dodgers blasted the Giants, 12-1, earlier Saturday, which means the Rockies have a chance to pump their lead in the National League Wild Card race to 3 1/2 games.
The value of knowing your role
We'll see if Rafael Betancourt is the eighth-inning answer for the Rockies. But at least he knows the question, so to speak.
Betancourt, acquired from the Indians on Thursday for Minor League pitcher Connor Graham, joined the Rockies on Friday for the big series with the Giants. Beyond some TV footage and an Interleague series past, Rockies manager Jim Tracy knows little of Betancourt. But Tracy knows Betancourt knows what he needs to know to fill a primary setup man in place of Manuel Corpas, who underwent surgery to remove a bone chip from his right elbow.
"He knows what he's doing," Tracy said. "He's going to make you beat him with the bat. This guy has never been a guy that creates opportunity for the other team by walking people. He's a strike-thrower, throws very hard, and has all the things that are necessary.
"Being a strike-thrower, for me that's the most important thing when you get down to the last six outs of the game."
Betancourt, 34, who broke in with the Indians in 2003 and didn't pitch for anyone else, sounded shocked after learning of the trade on Thursday. The blank stare was gone Friday. He was accepted within the expanding Venezuelan corner of the ballclub. He knew veteran catcher Yorvit Torrealba and fellow relievers Juan Rincon and Franklin Morales already. It turns out young outfielder Carlos Gonzalez and freshly called-up pitcher Jhoulys Chacin grew up within a bout a 10-minute radius of where Betancourt grew up.
And a look at the standings, with the Rockies a game ahead of the Giants in the National League Wild Card race and facing them in a three-game series starting Friday night, made Betancourt feel even more at home.
"It's a weird feeling, the first time this has happened to me, but I'm just excited to be here," he said. "All these years I've been watching trades that are made. it's happened to me now. I always wondered how it feels to get traded to a team in the pennant race. It's vey special."
— The Rockies designated righty releiver Ryan Speier for assignment. Speier, who is out of Minor League options, was activated from the disabled list earlier this week but had not pitched. Speier said it was simply that a more experienced reliever was available.
The Rockies are hoping Speier clears waivers and can be assigned to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
— Tracy said Corpas' surgery went well enough that the team will wait two weeks to see how the elbow heals, then hopefully proceed with rehab.
Torrealba has baseball on the mind
Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba was back in the clubhouse and, more importantly, in a baseball frame of mind Tuesday afternoon.
Torrealba, who last played June 1 then had toi deal with the kidnappings if his son and two other family members in Venezuela, played four get-in-shape games for Triple-A Colorado Springs (4-for-15). He was to be looked over by the Rockies' training staff Tuesday before the club could activate him.
"I feel good," Torrealba said. "I'm thinking about baseball. I had my son with me down in Colorado Springs, and that was good. I'm ready to help the team in any way I can."
The lineup card for Tuesday's game with the Dodgers listed Paul Phillips as the reserve catcher, behind Chris Iannetta, so it woudl be at least Wednesday before Torrealba will be back on the roster.
Here are the starting lineups:
Seth Smith, LF
Clint Barmes, 2B
Todd Helton, 1B
Brad Hawpe, RF
Troy Tulowitzki, SS
Ian Stewart, 3B
Carlos Gonzalez, CF
Chris Iannetta, C
Jason Marquis, P
Juan Pierre, LF
Rafael Furcal, SS
Andre Ethier, RF
Casey Blake, 3B
Mat Kemp, CF
Juan Castro, 2B
A.J. Ellis, C
Chad Billingsley, P
Bigger bat means better Smith
The Rockies' Seth Smith entered Sunday's start against the Athletics with a five-game hit streak. He is 3-for-8 with two home runs and six RBIs as a DH.
That coincides with Smith going to a bigger bat, from 34-inch, 31-ounce to 35-inch, 32-ounce. it makes a difference.
"This is the biggest I've used," Smith said. "I tried it in batting practice and liked it.
"It makes you stay back. If you get out on your front foot at all, you're not going to get the barrel on the baseball. Staying back is the ideal hitting position. And with a heavier bat, I can hit the ball a little bit harder."
His new bats haven't arrived, however. He is using Todd Helton's.
"He's pretty lenient," Smith said.
Here are Sunday's lineups:
Dexter Fowler, CF
Clint Barmes, 2B
Todd Helton, 1B
Brad Hawpe, RF
Troy Tulowitzki, SS
Ian Stewart, 3B
Chris Iannetta, C
Carlos Gonzalez, LF
Seth Smith, DH

After six games of the same, it was going to take a dramatic change of pace to end the Hornets' magical run in New Orleans.
That's exactly what the San Antonio Spurs found Monday night.
Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinal series was not about dominating third-quarter runs leading to blowouts by the team with the home-court advantage. It was about the narrow escape of a franchise that has had so much success -- and the near miss of a young team that promises to stay in contention in the Western Conference for the foreseeable future.
The Spurs won the final game of their series with the Hornets 91-82 on Monday night, advancing to the Western Conference finals and a matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. A sellout crowd of 18,235 at the New Orleans Arena watched as the most successful season in the history of the Hornets ended with a defeat against the NBA's defending champions.
"I don't think there's any doubt their time will come," Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich said.
Hornets guard Jannero Pargo had 16 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, including a 3-pointer with 1:35 remaining that cut the Spurs' lead to 83-80. But that would be one of the Hornets' final two baskets of the season.
The Spurs extended their nine-point halftime lead to 15 by the end of the third quarter, and guard Manu Ginobili led San Antonio once again with 26 points. Spurs forward Tim Duncan had 16 points and 14 rebounds, and point guard Tony Parker had 17 points and five assists.
"We never felt like we were in a panic," Parker said. "We always felt we played great here, but it was just that we hadn't played well in the third quarter. Even when they beat us here, we never doubted ourselves."
The Spurs were able to build a lead and keep their distance with 12 3-pointers, while the Hornets lost the rebounding battle 51-42 and did not have enough to complete their usual second-half comeback. Popovich credited his defense, which he said he tried to continue changing.
"We wanted to try to keep them off balance," Popovich said.
Hornets point guard Chris Paul and center Tyson Chandler finished in appropriate fashion, with double-doubles: 18 points and 14 assists for Paul, 13 points and 15 rebounds for Chandler. Forward David West had 20 points and nine rebounds.
Monday night's game, the finale of the second round of the NBA playoffs, was the ultimate test for a young Hornets team that had discussed improvement and benchmarks while quickly climbing toward the top of the Western Conference.
"You don't go from not making the playoffs to winning a championship," Hornets Coach Byron Scott said he told his team. "It just doesn't work that way."
Before Monday night, the series had taken on a distinctive pattern -- the home team had won the first six games by an average margin of 18.2 points. For two teams that were 56-26 during the regular season and 5-5 against each other this season, with identical 4-1 records at home, each game of the series was one-sided.
But even before the series reached Game 7, the Hornets had accomplished quite a task: building a deeper fan base. Toward the end of the regular season, games at the Arena became sure sellouts, and the Hornets continued to generate interest by running through the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs in five games.
They were able to win 63 games, including the playoffs, before being eliminated Monday night.
"The bottom line is this: We got to a Game 7 against the defending champions," Scott said. "That's a pretty good thing to say."
West, who left Game 6 in the fourth quarter with a bruised back, showed no signs of the injury in the first quarter. He had three days off to rest, and he finished the first period with 12 points and four rebounds.
But the Spurs kept pace with Duncan, who had struggled at the Arena but had eight points on 3-of-5 shooting in the opening quarter. Both teams shot 9-of-21 in the first quarter, and the Spurs led 23-20.
The Spurs shot 50 percent in the first half and led 51-42 at halftime, including a second quarter that had several momentum shifts. The Spurs began the second quarter by taking an 11-point lead with a 13-5 run, then withstood a 12-0 run by the Hornets before going back on top by finishing the quarter with a 15-5 surge.
Paul had 10 points and nine assists at halftime, but the Hornets' bench was outscored 10-1 and Ginobili led the Spurs with 14.
The Hornets were where they had been in every one of their wins against the Spurs in the series -- trailing at halftime. But this time the deficit was one the Hornets could not overcome.
"We understand it was a good season and things like that, but we weren't satisfied," Paul said.

It looks like Wind Waker HD might not be the only Zelda title we see getting the HD treatment. In a recent interview with Polygon, series producer Eiji Aonuma stated that both Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were experimented with in terms of HD, but the team ultimately settled on Wind Waker HD because of its already stylized appearance. Now it looks like the other two could be revisted in the future:
"I can't say that the possibility is zero that those will be made into HD, but right now I need to work on the next installation in the series so I don't have the bandwidth to do that right now. But maybe it will happen if someone else does it."
This is interesting, as it would be the third time Twilight Princess would be released and Skyward Sword is barely two years old itself. What do you think of this news?

At Grow Women, I know the power of prayer. (I also know the power of running a successful business, working through serious challenges in life and marriage, caring for children and aging parents and that everyone is a work in progress.)
While I believe in second chances, I don't accept the overused phrase that, "It's just the way I am!" If you don't like a part of who you are, it's your responsibility to yourself, the people you love, and the people who love you to get to work and start shaping yourself into the person God intended!
Because even though I'm hopelessly optimistic, I know that we all are works in progress and can use a little sprucing up, asking ourselves the hard questions so we can learn from our past in order to make our future that much better. There is beauty in pain if you truly look for it, and if you can say my favorite f-word: forgiveness. (Totally not what you were thinking, right?)
Grow Women is about living boldly and fearlessly, though living fearlessly doesn't mean that you live each and every day without any hesitations or reservations. Au contraire. It means that you happily coexist with the fear, pushing through that voice who says you can't and showing the world --and yourself-- exactly what you're made of.
Never stop growing. Never stop striving. And never stop knowing that you deserve to thrive.

To the Editor:
Since this week is Administrative Professionals Week, I'd like to take this time to herald the administrative profession as just that: a chosen profession. Being an administrative professional is a legitimate career, and one to take pride in. I would encourage everyone not to view being an admin as just a stepping stone until you can land a ''real'' job, but as a viable, long-term career option. In this work climate of ''do so much more with so much less,'' today's admins are being called upon to do far more than the stereotypical secretaries of old.
The theme for the 2012 Administrative Professionals Week is: ''Admins, the pulse of the office.'' Being an admin is a vibrant and increasingly integral career in most companies. The career outlook for admins is also bright according to www.careerplanner.com.
If you employ an admin, please take a moment to recognize that person's contribution to your organization.
To learn more about being a career administrative professional, check out the International Association of Administrative Professionals website, www.iaap-hq.org or attend a meeting of the local chapter. Information about the Syracuse chapter and the meeting schedule can be found at www.iaap-syracuse.org.

Thank administrative professionals this week

Looks like $35m of ltm ebitda and maybe $17m of ltm free cash flow. With its growth rate and the market's valuations think it could IPO for $350-$400m of enterprise value. Say $375. As CODI owns 76%, that's ~$285, or maybe $275 after fees if they sold their entire stake, which they're not going to. They probably keep another $40 million for their fee so its $235 or so of cash to CODI's shareholders, plus getting rid of the commensurate % of the supplemental put and noncontrolling interests. At the end of the day, think that our trading multiple is probably pretty much unchanged around 7.5-8x trailing EBITDA, but it basically eliminates the net debt on our balance sheet. They could either pay off the credit facility and save ~$20m annually on interest expense or buy back about 13m million shares, either way it's probably a small positive for shareholders.
While they may only sell off 30%-40% right now, they will sell all of it eventually because owning public companies shouldn't be their business. It would also be nice if they announced the actual IPO along with a dividend raise (which they can obviously do now with the CAD coverage) to make us shareholders feel better about losing the highest growth segment.
Sentiment: Buy
Fox Factory shares surge 23% on IPO
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Fox Factory Holding Corp. FOXF +1.29% jumped on the day of their initial public offering Thursday. Shares of Fox Factory surged 23% to $18.50 in recent trading. The maker of high-performance vehicle suspension products priced just under 8.6 million shares at $15 a piece late Wednesday. Fox Factory is offering 2.9 million shares and shareholders including Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC CODI +1.50% are offering 5.7 million. Underwriters have a 30-day option to buy an additional 1.3 million shares.
John: It's always good to see that someone on these boards actually has a modicum of understanding about the underlying stock. Check the recent SEC filing re entry into material agreement. I believe it eliminates the supplemental put.
Hi mthiker2004, apparently we were too low. 36.3m shares at $15 per share is $545m, which makes our portion about $411m. While there are obviously some fees and taxes in there, plus a higher amount for the supplemental put than we originally thought, it basically means that we're trading at 6.5x trailing EBITDA ex-FOX now if we assumed that all of Fox is liquidated. That also means a lot more cash to buy back stock, pay down debt or whatever. Hopefully, the market appreciates this.

The web site for the New York State Blues Festival has been updated with a declaration that the free-admission event will return July 8 to 10 in Clinton Square in Syracuse.
Fest board president Todd Fitzsimmons said this morning: "It's a plan. We're not locked yet." Fitzsimmons said in January that the board would like a three-day fest this summer.
After 18 years of bringing the blues party to Syracuse, the fest took 2010 off because of the challenging economic climate.
Fitzsimmons said this morning that board members "have good energy" as they attempt to bring the event back.
It all has to do with funding.
Fitzsimmons says requests are in for member items from the New York state budget with senators John DeFrancisco, R-Syracuse, and David Valesky, D-Oneida, and with the New York State Council for the Arts. Corporate sponsorship also is being sought. Fitzsimmons says he's like to have $80,000 in hand or promised to the festival before giving it the green light. The third form of income is sales of beverages and merchandise during the event.
Fitzsimmons says anybody who'd like to donate can find information on the fest's web site. He said the dates went up on the site because the weekend in Clinton Square had to be reserved with city officials.

Last night I read an article on "Moneynews" that one Peter Singer – a Princeton University professor – has blamed our founding fathers for this shutdown. I am both astonished and outraged at how completely stupid and intellectually bankrupt the minds of progressive liberals can be! Untermensch singer claims the separation of powers is the fundamental flaw in the Constitution!!!
They no longer hide their garbage dump mentality in the closet do they?!
WE have no idea whether singing is just plain ignorant of all the Larceny of Power BIG Fed has committed or if he is intentionally subverting the minds of our youth in his undeserved position in the halls of higher learning! But the fruit is the same evil either way and his a–, like all of the other proggie fools, needs to be collectively tarred and feathered – IF YOU DON'T LIKE OUR COUNTRY "DO THE RIGHT THING" AND LEAVE!!!
The 2 digit IQ that came up with such an idea completely ignored the glaring reality that THIS government is NOT the Government Jimmy Madison described in the Constitution and blaming him reveals exactly what kind of putz you are, pete!
I'm sure you would also blame Henry Ford if you wrecked your car!
WE the PEOPLE are to Blame for this shutdown and all of the confiscation of power we LET BIG Fed rip off!
We are to blame because we have eaten of the fruit of the TREE of the Knowledge of Progressivism and thought, "we can have freedom and a government that takes care of us TOO!" Whoopee! U-tope-eee-a! Here we come!
"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools," (!!!) – Romans 1:22
As always, Frank, your writing is an inspiration and a source of hope to me! Education is a requirement to our crusade to save our nation! We the People need to understand the First Principles of our Liberty and embrace, with knowledge, the simplistic truth of our Supreme Law of the Land!
You bring up an excellent and critical point concerning a Constitutional Convention as there is a growing "hysteria" among the conservatives to initiate one. With the opening of such a convention ALL of the Precepts and Principles and Authorities of the Constitution would be subject to change!! And if Conservatives, Tea Part Patriots and delusional minds on the right think the left is going to just some how not participate they are no wiser than this FOOL singer!
Our Constitution is a perfect document! It is NOT broken! BIG Fed is broken!!! Restore the Constitution to Government and watch it work like it was intended. J-H-C, wake up to the truth and the facts, people!
Peter Singer also is in favor of infanticide – and multiple nefarious "progressive" movements.

I would like to point out that moneyGuru also supports split transactions ("splitting transactions between different categories", unless I misunderstand, is the same thing as a split). You can do so by opening the Transaction Panel (Cmd-I) when you have a transaction selected.
Thanks for your review.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions sure know how to celebrate in style.
Rookie tight end Joseph Fauria has received a lot of attention for doing the "womp" after scoring his first career touchdown during Sunday's season-opening win against the Minnesota Vikings, but Joique Bell joined the party as well.
He climbed into the stands after a 2-yard touchdown run, fought off fans who were pressing him down, stood on a ledge and led the crowd in the "Hip Hop Hooray" dance that Naughty By Nature made famous.
Bell said the dance was calculated.
"As soon as I got up that wall, I knew I was doing it," he said. "It was something I had premeditated. I thought, 'What can I do that will be different, that nobody's ever done before? Let me see if I can get the crowd going.'
"When you're at home, they help you win games on third-and-short, if the offense is trying to communicate something or on the other end the defense is trying to get the stop. Create all that noise."
Bell said he hopes the "Hip Hop Hooray" dance will become his trademark thing, although it seems coach Jim Schwartz isn't a huge fan of the theatrics, especially in light of Ndamukong Suh's negative publicity this week.
"I wanted to make that my tradition thing," Bell said. "But I don't want to do anything that will upset the coach. If he says I can do it from the ground, then that will be my thing. If he says no, just cut it out completely, then, you know, that's the coach's (call).
"That's the head coach, man. His team, his rules. I have much respect."
Bell's celebration was so creative and impressive, it might be outshining the touchdown run that preceded it. He spun out of a would-be tackle in the backfield and cut left for an easy score.
The play showcased Bell's agility, burst and vision.
"Linebacker came through free, took him head-on with a spin-out," Bell said. "I thought (end) Jared Allen was containing the edge, but our tackle had enough of him where I could spin to break his arm tackle. Riley (Reiff) had enough of him where I could spin out and kind of had a street race to the end zone."
Bell finished with six carries for 25 yards and two touchdowns in the 34-24 win. He also had five catches for 67 yards, solidifying his place as the backup to Reggie Bush.

Although it's New South Wales' third-largest city, WOLLONGONG has more of a country-town feel; the students of Wollongong University give it extra life in term time and it also enjoys a big dose of surf culture as the city centre is set right on the ocean. Some 80km south of Sydney, it's essentially a working-class industrial centre – Australia's largest steelworks at nearby Port Kembla looms unattractively over Wollongong City Beach – but the Illawarra Escarpment, rising dramatically beyond the city, provides a lush backdrop.

Oversized expectations
A small congregation gets megachurched
They were visitors in our worship service and, like all visitors in a small church, they were not hard to spot. I could see from the looks on their faces that whatever they were looking for in a church, we didn't have it. When we all stood to sing the hymns, they just looked straight ahead, never making an effort to sing and not even picking up a hymnbook.
I greeted them in the hallway after the service and said something like, "I couldn't help noticing that you seemed uncomfortable in our service. Is there something I could help you with?"
They looked at one another and then one of them blurted out, "Well, we noticed you use hymnbooks. We've never been in a church that still uses hymnbooks. We've always had the words on overhead screens."

Force India to get 50 mn pound investment boost
Submitted by Rajiv Dhoot on Thu, 11/22/2012 - 14:09
Sao Paulo, Nov 22 - Sahara Force India team principal Vijay Mallya has announced that 50 million pounds will be invested into the team for an improved performance in the 2013 Formula One season.
"Force India going to the final race of the 2012 here over the weekend, lying seventh in the team standings with 99 points. It is team's best ever show in terms of points scored and includes fourth place finishes in Belgium and Singapore," Mallya was quoted as saying by formula1. com Wednesday.
"We have shown that every year we get better, so we expect nothing less next season. But it is also time for us to look at capital investment (the board has recently approved a £50 million capital investment programme for the team). In order to go up the ladder even further we need to have the tools and the facilities, so we are looking at some investments which will start paying out rich dividends in the future," Mallya said.
Mallya also conceded that they were finding it tough to find a suitable replacement for outgoing driver Nico Hulkenberg, who will be with Sauber in 2013. The other Force India driver Paul di Resta is likely to stay with the team.
"There does not seem to be the kind of quality we need to replace Nico available, either in the current grid or in GP2. We have to think a little bit beyond that, which we are doing now," he said adding that he was considering getting back Adrian Sutil.(IANS)

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
For buying a large quantity of big prints, Konica Minolta may well wind up being your cheapest option.
Konica Minolta's photo printing service operates with the same software as that of Mr Gadget. It falls firmly into the middle of the pack, offering average options with an average interface at a slightly higher than normal cost.
Pricing is well above average at lower numbers, with 4x6 prints costing a massive $0.50 each. As the numbers climb however the price drops, and once you order over 31 prints, it hits a nice, cheap $0.29 a print, which is comparable to the cheapest services out there. This applies to the larger sizes as well, and so if you find yourself ordering multiples of bigger prints, this should be one of your first stops as you can get 12x18 inch photographs for $7.80
Unfortunately, that is as big as the photos get. There are no alternative media options, although there are a few different borders available, both black and white.
Like the interface of Mr Gadget's service, the downloadable software you must use is serviceable, but nothing mind blowing. It is fairly easy to navigate and contains rudimentary image editing functions.
You have the option of either picking up your prints or having them mailed to you, however postage does cost a rather hefty $5.00. There are stores in a number of locations, however in general we thought they were a little out of the way. Posted items will typically take a week to arrive.
The image quality of this service fell somewhere in between AGFA and Kodak; prints looked good but not exceptional. We felt they turned out a little dull, lacking the same sort of life and richness of colour present in some of the competitors. They still look fine, and for most people they will be perfectly acceptable, but the difference is visible when they are lined up with the other prints.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

LATEST UPDATE | Driver of vehicle linked to North Adams homicide appears in court
NORTH ADAMS -- The missing 2005 blue Ford Taurus registered to homicide victim Ellen DePaoli is in police custody and will be searched as part of the ongoing homicide investigation into her death.
According to a statement released by the Berkshire District Attorney's office Friday, the car was located in Bennington, Vt. on Thursday evening, seized and brought back to Massachusetts.
Berkshire District Attorney spokesman Frederick Lantz declined to comment on whether the car was connected to the arrest of an unidentified individual by Bennington Police on Thursday afternoon.
He also declined to comment on whether the arrest was related to the homicide investigation, saying only that the individual was arrested on an outstanding Massachusetts probation warrant. No information was available on any other possible suspects in the case.
"An individual was arrested in Bennington and charged as a fugitive from justice," Lantz said Friday morning.
He said the individual would have to be arraigned in Bennington District Court on the fugitive from justice charge before being returned to the state. No information about an arraignment was available Friday morning, but several media outlets, including Transcript sister paper the Bennington Banner, were stationed at the courthouse Friday morning.
Preliminary autopsy results released by the district attorney's office Thursday confirmed that DePaoli was the victim of a homicide.
Specific details of the autopsy, performed by Associate Medical Examiner Dr. Anna McDonald from the Chief Medical Examiner's office in Boston on Thursday, are being withheld pending the conclusion of the ongoing investigation.
"Anytime one of our citizens, particularly one of our seniors, is killed, there is cause for concern along with grief," Berkshire District Attorney David F. Capeless said in a Thursday press release. "However, based upon the information that investigators have developed, we consider this to be an isolated incident and North Adams residents should not be unduly alarmed."
Police announced they were searching for a 2005 blue Ford Taurus as part of the investigation of DePaoli's death on Thursday.
The vehicle was missing from DePaoli's 409 Walker St. residence and was registered to DePaoli with the license plate 88ZA27, according to a separate press release from Capeless' office.
DePaoli, 84, who was a long-time cafeteria supervisor at Drury High School, was found dead inside her home by police Tuesday night. Police were responding to a 911 call at 8 that night, during which the caller reported the death. The person who made the 911 call remains unidentified by the district attorney's office.
Investigators from the North Adams Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police were at the house Wednesday. A state police helicopter was seen circling the house and surrounding area midmorning and state police K-9 units were also called to the scene. Police also reportedly searched the nearby woods on all-terrain vehicles later that day.
Mayor Richard J. Alcombright reiterated Thursday that city schools were not closed Wednesday because he had been reassured by investigators there was "no imminent or immediate threat" to the community.
"If there was imminent danger or an immediate threat, we would have kept our schools closed," he said.
However, Superintendent James E. Montepare chose to heighten security at the city's schools Wednesday, enacting the district's "lockout" procedure as a precautionary measure.
"We have our schools locked everyday. The difference between what we do normally and a 'lockout' is that we don't buzz people into the building," Montepare said Thursday. "We don't take any risks -- recess is confined, no field trips are taken and the custodians, administrators and myself float around the building to make sure thinks are OK. Teachers are aware they need to report anything suspicious."
He added, "It's one of those situations, where you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If I'm going to err on something, I'm going to err of the side of safety and cautions. We're never afraid to take that extra step."
This is the first homicide-related death to take place in the city since 2008.
The investigation is being conducted by the North Adams Police Department, state Police Detectives assigned to the district attorney's office, officers from the Pittsfield Police Department, deputies from the Berkshire County Sheriff's Department and members of the Berkshire County Law Enforcement Task Force.

Yeah. But we'll have to wait & see. It wont be $39.99.
pfft thats unrealistic. If anything it will be around the same price as the PS2 eye toy. $39.99Originally Posted by Major Tom
LOL, you are just overexagerating with the intent to make the PS3 look bad in anyway you can.
You have to understand, these cameras do not cost as much as a PS3 to make.
Yeah. But we'll have to wait & see. It wont be $39.99.
maybe maybe not, but thats a more realistic number rather than some biased bs. If anything it wont be more than 60$, around the same price of a game. Though, knowing the eye toy brand, it will probably be bundled with a game as well as sold individually.Originally Posted by Major Tom
The Eye of Judgement's release date has already been announced, and the camera is Sonys wiimote (high concept playing), thus they are not going to over charge on it. Considering you can get some amazing cameras for computers for 20$.
calm down shift its his guess
PS3 now, sorry Wii. You gather dust.
Pointless when you consider that video chat largely depends on bandwidth. When you're gaming online you want to dedicate as much bandwidth to playing the game as possible. Video chat will just lag the game.

Jo-Ann Stores set to be acquired by affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners
December 23, 2010-- Home Textiles Today,
Hudson, Ohio - Longtime fabrics and crafts retailer Jo-Ann Stores Inc. is set to be acquired by an affiliate of the private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners L.P.
The retailer has entered into a definitive agreement for its purchase for a total price of about $1.6 billion, or $61.00 per share in cash. The offer price represents a 34% premium to the closing price of Jo-Ann's shares on Dec. 22.
"We are excited about the prospect of working with Leonard Green & Partners as we further capitalize on opportunities to accelerate the expansion and upgrade of our stores and pursue market share gains," said Darrell Webb, chairman and ceo. "With the help of our talented and dedicated team, we will continue to offer our customers a superior shopping experience for all of their fabric and craft needs."
On the recommendation of a special committee comprised entirely of independent directors, Jo-Ann Stores' board of directors approved the merger agreement by a unanimous vote of the non-employee directors and recommends that the company's shareholders adopt the agreement.
Todd Purdy of Leonard Green & Partners, described Jo-Ann Stores as a "clear leader" among fabric and crafts retailers.
"We are excited to partner with Jo-Ann Stores' talented management team and look forward to the next phase of the company's growth," he said.
If the acquisition is approved by holders of a majority of Jo-Ann Stores' shares of common stock, the transaction is expected to close in the first half of calendar 2011. It is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, but is not subject to any condition with regard to the financing of the transaction. In accordance with the merger agreement, the board of directors will also be permitted to solicit alternative proposals through February 14, 2011, to ensure the transaction is the best available for its shareholders.
J.P. Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and TCW/Crescent Mezzanine have provided committed financing for the transaction.
Jo-Ann Stores' special committee lead director and chairman, Scott Cowen, said that "after a thorough assessment," his committee and the retailer's board concluded that the proposal put forth by Leonard Green & Partners "is the best way to maximize value for shareholders, who will receive a substantial and immediate cash premium for their shares. While the company was not actively seeking this transaction, once the offer was received and negotiated, the special committee determined that it was in the best interest of the company's shareholders, as well as its employees and other partners."
Cowen also noted that Leonard Green & Partners has "significant expertise in the retail space" and is "dedicated to cultivating and supporting the growth of Jo-Ann's business."
With more than $9 billion in equity capital under management, Los Angeles-based Leonard Green & Partners invests in companies across a range of industries, including retail with Whole Foods Market, PETCO Animal Supplies, Leslie's Poolmart, Sports Authority, The Container Store, Tourneau, David's Bridal, Neiman Marcus Group, Jetro Cash & Carry and Tire Rack.
Jo-Ann Stores will file a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC which will contain detailed information about the transaction and the board and special committee process. Once the SEC completes its review of the preliminary proxy statement, Jo-Ann Stores will file the definitive proxy statement with the SEC and distribute it to shareholders.

A test contains 10 questions and each question has 4 options to answer in with 1 being the correct answer.
What is the probability of getting at least 4 questions right if answers are randomly selected?
What is the probability of getting between 2 to 7 questions right (3,4,5,6) if answers are randomly selected?
I'm completely stranded in probability. I'm trying to get it in the P and C formats but it won't work. Help is very much appreciated.
Thank you. Is this the correct answer to my first problem?
((10*9*8*7*6*5*4)/7!)/4^10 - Wolfram|Alpha
And this for my 2nd?
((10*9*8*7)/4!) ;/4^10 - Wolfram|Alpha
Is that the only way to do it?
I feel like this is the same problem: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pro...-in-five-flips
Only my problem contains 4 possibilities instead of 2 and I have more 'flips'.
For the first, you break it down into cases and use the addition principle.
Case 1: Exactly 4 questions right
-Pick 4 questions to be right. The other 6 are wrong. What is the probability of this?
Case 2: Exactly 5 questions right
and so on.
The 2nd problem uses cases and addition principle too, however the cases are different.
This isn't straight up counting per se , but independent trails that are either a success with probability .25 or a failure with probability .75
If you can either prove your formula or direct me to a proof, I would gladly look into using that method instead.
, the number of combinations of N objects taken k at a time?
It is also the number of ways the arrange N 1's and k 0's in a string.
We think of the 1's as a place where a success occurs and the 0's where a failure happens.
If success has a probability of p then failure has probability of 1-p.
So the probability of exactly k successes in N trials is .
Thus on a test of ten questions with four options, a student just guesses.
The probability of exactly 4 successes in 10 is .
For at least four is
I have come as far as understanding how the 1's represent success and the 0's represent failure. I also understand that if the probability of success is P then the probability of failure is 1-P.
I am trying to understand the formula
Essentially we are saying: which represents what exactly? Is 10 my N and 4 my K? 4 answers (choices) with 10 events (iterations)? In that case does this binomial coefficient represent the total amount of successes and failures and the rest of the formula acts as some sort of filter to answer the rest of the question, e.g. probability of exactly 4 instead of 10..?
Why isn't this essentially the same as saying:
I have a dice with 4 sides. I throw it 10 times. What is the probability of getting the same side exactly twice?
I calculate it according to https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pro...-combinatorics
and compare it to your answer in hopes of gaining some insight into your answer, but we get different answers!
In the dice example each side has an equally likely chance of occuring.
With the test problem, we have two things in the sample space
Right with probability .25
Wrong with probability .75
the outcomes are not equally likely
EDIT: Also is the dice/coin problem, order is important.
In the test problem, order DOES NOT matter.
Getting questions 1,4,6,10 wrong is the same as getting questions 4,10,6,1 wrong. We're not ordering the questions. We just want to pick 4 to be right, and the other 6 wil be wrong.

text: Explore The Zona Sur San José to San Isidro Parque Nacional Chirripó Dominical and around Palmar and around South to Panamá Península de Osa Golfito Share Very little is known about the history of the Diquis region before 1000 BC, though culturally it appears to have formed part of the Greater Chiriquí region, which takes its name from the province in southwestern Panamá. Archeologists date the famous lithic spheres from sometime between 1000 BC and 500 AD; between around 700 and 1600 AD the Diquis began fashioning gold pendants, breastplates, headbands and chains, becoming master goldsmiths within a hundred years or so. Between 500 and 800 AD drastic changes occurred in the culture of the Diquis. Archeologists attribute them to the impact of the arrival of seagoing peoples from Colombia or possibly the Andes – a theory borne out by their metates and pottery, which show llama or guanaco figures, animals that would have been unknown on the isthmus. In the Diquis's own artisanry, both the ingenious – often cheeky – goldwork and the voluptuous pottery display a unique humour as well as superlative attention to detail. The Diquis were in a state of constant warfare among themselves and with foreign groups. Like the Chorotegas to the north in Greater Nicoya, they seem to have engaged in sacrifice, ritually beheading war captives. Huge metates unearthed at Barilles in Panamá show images of these rituals, while smaller crucible-like dishes – in which coca leaves, yucca or maize may have been crushed and fermented – suggest ritual inebriation. The indigenous peoples of Zona Sur first met the Spaniards in 1522 when the cacique of the Térraba group graciously hosted Captain Gil González for a fortnight. González was on his way from near the present-day Panamá border, where his ship had run aground, to Nicaragua. Despite infirmity (he was in his fifties), he was walking all the way. The Diquis seem to have declined abruptly after this initial contact, most likely felled by influenza, smallpox, the plague and other diseases brought by Spanish settlers. Read More

Vashon native finds purpose in sharing music
Jacob Bain remembers the nights when he had to stand outside in the cold between sets because he was 17 — too young to be admitted to the bars where his band got its first gigs.
As a member of Trolls Cottage, Bain came of age on Vashon, spending endless hours of practice with the band in a secret spot in the woods that was actually called Trolls Cottage. The music was fun and danceable, and Bain — a gifted guitarist, singer and songwriter — stood center stage when the band performed, wowing countless islanders who not only loved Trolls Cottage but who also literally watched this young man grow up.
Now 32, Bain still plays with Trolls Cottage as well as another band, Publish the Quest. He still stands center stage, playing a rhythmic acoustic guitar before throngs of swaying fans. But he's grown a lot since those early days; the music he now plays with Publish the Quest is more fully instrumented and textured, complex and innovative. Indeed, it seems, he's pushed the boundaries of his music, both figuratively and geographically, traveling with Publish the Quest to countries in Europe and Africa and finding in his musical journey a remarkable sense of purpose.
Bain sat down at the Red Bicycle Bistro last week, on a rain-soaked April afternoon, to talk about the twists and turns of his musical career and the meaning he's found with Publish the Quest, which will perform at the Red Bike Saturday night.
"I always knew that I was super passionate about songwriting and telling stories," he said. "But it wasn't until I started Publish the Quest that I made a conscious decision that I'd try to make a career of it."
Bain has a gentle and yet charismatic presence, complete with a piercing gaze and a flashing smile that makes a companion feel nicely rewarded for asking a good question. He's also handsome, in the scruffy way that guys in bands are sometimes handsome, with hair of indeterminate length cinched back in a knot, a strong jawline and cool, casual clothes — in Bain's case, a T-shirt, hoodie and baggy corduroy jeans — that seem perfectly mismatched.
But Bain's charm is only part of the package — he's also resourceful, ambitious and determined to make a difference through his work with Publish the Quest.
He's funded his music career by making money "any way I can," he said. He's traded carpentry for time in a recording studio and also signed on for four two-month fishing trips to Alaska in recent years. He's also lived simply, returning from Seattle a couple of years ago to settle on island property his family owns, in a house he built by himself.
"I dump every single penny I make back into the band," he said.
The hard work is paying off.
Working with a nonprofit called Learn Africa, Publish the Quest has made several recent trips to Cape Verde, Zimbabwe, Mali, Poland, Portugal and Spain, where band members have played in festivals and music halls, recorded with local artists, and conducted music workshops and jam sessions with underprivileged children. On their most recent trip to Zimbabwe, last summer, the band brought along a trove of donated instruments and soccer balls to give to kids in Harare and Hatcliffe Extension, a slum just outside the city. He's also collected instruments from islanders to deliver to a music school in Cape Verde.
An impressive roster of international stars has collaborated with the band — Femi Kuti, Nneka Lucia Egbuna, Matt Chamberlain, Eyvind Kang, Radioactive, Oliver Mtukudzi and Vieux Farka Touré have all joined forces with the group on recordings and in concert. A recent single, "Sodade," was recorded with Cape Verdean vocalist Laise Sanches, with all proceeds from the sale of the song going to the music school in Cape Verde.
Bain said he has found great inspiration in working with kids and musicians in Africa — people he said had "an insatiable appetite for music." To simply spend time with children in Africa, he said, has been a joy. But Bain is also helping young people here at home, by serving as a musician mentor to several island teens set to perform in an upcoming Sharing the Stage show at the Open Space for Arts & Community.
It's a busy time: Bain is currently working on a new Publish the Quest album as well as a short film that will document the band's work in Africa.
The film, called "The Truth About 99 Cents" — a reference to the cost of buying a song on iTunes — is about the international cooperation required in the making of Bain's new song "Shine," a recording made with Zimbabwean stars Edith Weutonga, Mtukudzi and a seven-member children's chorus of girls from an orphanage in Zimbabwe. The title also references Bain's intention to give all the proceeds from the sale of the song back to the orphanage.
And at the end of the month, Bain will head back to Zimbabwe to play once again at the country's largest festival, in Harare, this time joining forces with a renowned Spanish and classical guitarist, Samuel Diz, and Publish the Quest's drummer, Caleb Cunningham. He's also looking forward to heading back to Hatcliffe Extension to hang out, play music and give a few more guitars to the kids he has gotten to know on his past two trips to Africa.
"We'll get to see all our buddies again," he said with a brilliant, big smile. "Some of the kids there live in a pretty hard way, so we bring food out and we are just total goofballs with them — we play soccer and put on shows."
He's looking forward too, he said, to hearing how their musicianship has improved in the past year, since Publish the Quest has been funding twice-monthly music lessons for a group of children in the slum.
Bain has Seattle shows lined up for Publish the Quest when he returns, and for islanders, a special treat is in store: Trolls Cottage and Publish the Quest will play back-to-back concerts on two nights during this summer's Strawberry Festival.
Bain's ultimate goal, he said, is to "bounce back and forth between Europe and the West Coast" with Publish the Quest. To do that, he'll no doubt call on what he said were defining aspects of his personality.
"I have that spirit of not having fear to go for things," he said. "I've always felt adventurous and wanted to push the limits."

Pity the out-of-state tourists who want a casual tour of the state capitol today.
Sometime today, the Michigan House and Senate are expected to put the finishing touches on one of the most contentious issues we've seen in this town in decades.
The last time there was a nasty confrontation similar to this one over right to work, it was between the same two forces that are going at it now: business vs. labor.
The bone of contention back then? Worker's compensation reform. Labor demonstrators marched around the capitol with a fake coffin symbolizing the death of labor while all the chamber folks cheered on the Republicans to do make the reforms.
Fast forward to today.
The state police, who had 55 troopers at the capitol last Thursday, are rounding up about 150 this time from all parts of the state. During weekend strategy sessions, it was anticipated about 10,000 might be on the lawn before it was all over.
Just like last week, some of the protestors will not get inside the building. That's because the Lansing fire department over the weekend did a little measuring in the capitol and determined that the capacity is about 2,000.
Do the math. That means the majority of union folks will have to watch this debate on their I-phones. Unless the courts intervene to open the building to everyone.
The state police are cognizant of the citizen's right to demonstrate and as long as it is peaceful, no problem one inspector tells the media. What the authorities don't want is a Wisconsin re-do here.
When union demonstrators across the pond finished their business in the Madison state capitol, the clean-up/damage tab was about $400,000, according to one source here in Michigan.
The police sent a message last week when troopers used pepper spray to stop about eight demonstrators from rushing into the state senate. The warning is clear, if they have to, they will do it again.
Meanwhile last Saturday union members gathered in Dearborn for a training seminar in civil disobedience. "They will try to criminalize you," warned one of the trainers while she instructed the attendees to keep their collective cool.
So the stage is set with the story line on this historic and hopefully peaceful day at the capitol about to be written. No one is sure what the lead will be.
"We are planning for the worst and hoping for the best," one insider suggests.

Hey LAA-dy!
He has done Broadway, night clubs, TV, movies and marathons - but one thing Jerry Lewis does not do well is sit still for an interview.
Which is why the announcement that he's submitting to a public one on Saturday night is a bit newsworthy.
It's not totally surprising, perhaps - Lewis' interlocutor at the Museum of the Moving Image is director and journalist Peter Bogdanovich.
A long-time friend and fan, Bogdanovich already interviewed Lewis at length for his fine book on filmmakers, "Who the Devil Made It" - and he's bound to approach him with all the research and respect that the famously prickly Newark native demands.
But that doesn't mean there aren't the opportunity for fireworks, given the available material.
What, for example, was the real reason for the Martin/Lewis split? The genesis of the character of Buddy Love in "The Nutty Professor"? How much did director Frank Tashlin contribute to those Lewis' early films and what does Lewis owe to other directors, like Keaton or Tati? Will anyone ever see "The Day the Clown Cried"? And what do the French see in him that so many Americans don't?
Well, Bogdanovich is unlikely to ask that last one. And tickets are a pricey $48 for non-members.
But the evening - being held in Manhattan, while the museum undergoes renovations - will also include clips from some of Lewis' best films. And it promises to be a rare chance to see one of the movies' least predictable talents - up close and possibly very personal.


text: I know I might seem like I'm not giving casual fans credit, but I've heard many a time "I don't like skating because even when people fall, they still win. If you're such a great figure skater you shouldn't ever fall." Which is ridiculous to say because it's not like every basketball/hockey player makes his shot and it's not like tennis players never make unforced errors, not to mention ice is slippery and you don't get to take multiple shots to win.

Starboard and Gaastra
As on your Home Page right now: "Dream team Kevin Pritchard chooses Gasstra Sails".
Does it mean that Gaastra (one s only) and Starboard are now the same company?
What happened to Severne? Not anymore in the Starboard group?
Best regards
No its just a new report that Kevin P chose Gaastra as his new sail sponsor. No mergerings of companys or anything.
I would like to ask if there is anyone who actually believe that this is the true story: KP leaving mauisails, then testing all other sail brands, and then choosing the best one - gaastra???
It is more then obvious that he got a deal ($$$) with gaastra way before he left mauisails and that all this "sails testing" is just marketing bullshit.
It is a great marketing idea, but really very unprofessionally executed.
Your speculation only speads rumors. We may never know how the situation played out, so why guess. Kevin did what he thought was best. It's his business and now Gaastras.
I speculate (oops, I guess I shouldn't do that) that Kevin probably had a good deal at Maui Sails and was happy with the sails and their performance. However, if I was in his shoes and saw the opportunity to get a bigger pay check, I would "test the waters too". None of the pros are getting rich in this business, so finding a better deal is probably something they are always thinking about.
I was amused at the idea of Kevin testing a few sail brands.
I was even more amused when he said he liked the Gaastra Manic. It was then that I guessed he was headed back to Gaastra.
To leave Gaastra to go to Maui Sails and then leave Maui Sails to go back to Gaastra has left me confused. What next?
Its simple really. Best sailors in world can go where they want.Its his business wether it was sail performance; pay or loyalty. No doubt at some stage he`ll go alone on something. Pritchard Sails ??? Pritchard Customs ???
He`s been great for SB and sailing.No doubt he`ll continue to do so.
Good luck to him.
No room at the inn ?
I disagree.
Do you honestly think that Kevin could have gone to Neil Pryde for example. Antoine Albeau dominating racing and Kauli Seadi dominating waves.
Make it GAASTRA and not GASSTRA on you home page .I no Knut is German but WWII is over So no more GA-SS-TRA
That huge banner on the home page is weird... almost a call to action to a competitor website.
I'm not really involved in the designing of the site, but as I see it, it is partly commercial but also partly service oriented. With that distinction, the new section is probably more service than commercial.

Westfield's School Committee will set the agenda next month for its planned search for a new superintendent of schools.
Westfield's search will come at the same time the city of Northampton is searching for a successor for its superintendent, Isabelina Rodriquez. Rodriquez, who grew up in Westfield, told the Northampton School Committee earlier this year that she does not wish to renew her contract for another three-year term when it expires in June. She plans to pursue other educational opportunities.
Searches will also occur in West Springfield and in Amherst.
In West Springfield, the School Committee has started the process of searching for a new school superintendent by hiring the Massachusetts Association of School Committees to guide it in the process. The timeline calls for appointing a new school chief there by Jan. 27 and have that person begin work July 1.
In Amherst, the Amherst Regional School Committee will discuss the superintendent search process at a meeting Wednesday. Maria Geryk was named interim superintendent in March for 16 months. She replaced Alberto Rodriguez, who left the district after eight months on the job.
Westfield Superintendent Shirley Alvira announced last month her intention to retire at the end of the 2010-2011 school year. She has served as superintendent here since 2007. The objective for the Westfield committee is to select a successor for Alvira by the time it begins the fiscal 2012 budget process in March.
Westfield School Committee vice chairman Kevin J. Sullivan said this week he expects the committee to meet in executive session to discuss the scope of the search early in September and have that search officially underway by early October.
Mayor Daniel M. Knapik, who serves as School Committee chairman, agreed. "The objective is to get someone on board for the budget season, especially since Westfield will be in the midst of determine our school needs, both facilities and programs, for the future," Knapik said.
"Shirley Alvira has been very gracious and helpful in giving us plenty of time to conduct a thorough search for her replacement," said Sullivan. "Our hope is to select a new superintendent well before her retirement," he said.
Alvira's notice to the committee pointed to July 10 as her retirement date. That will be the end of her fourth year as superintendent here.
The Westfield School Department is preparing to launch a feasibility study, with assistance from the state School Building Authority, to determine building needs for the next five years. The state will reimburse the city 62 percent of the cost of such a review, and Westfield officials are hoping the review will point to the need to consolidate several existing elementary schools into one large new elementary school.
The Northampton School Committee voted on Aug. 12 to establish a Search Committee to conduct the preliminary screening of candidates and the nomination of semi-finalists to the school board. The committee also plans to hire a consulting firm to assist in the search process.
Vice chair Stephanie Pick is soliciting applicants for appointment to the search panel. She said this week in a press release that she would encourage parents, faculty, and community members to submit brief letters of interest with a summary of their background by e-mail to her at firstname.lastname@example.com no later than Sept. 3.
Pick said she hopes there will be wide participation on the search group from all facets of the Northampton community. It is anticipated the search process will begin in the early fall, she said.

DETROIT, MI -- In addition to taking home one of the most prestigious awards from the inaugural YouTube Music Awards, Eminem stole the night and provided the highlight with his machine-gun, breathless performance of "Rap God."
The six-minute-performance had the live audience screaming throughout as Eminem, wearing all black, strutted on stage with hype man Mr. Porter in front of a white backdrop.
"A man, a microphone, a DJ and some of the nimblest speed-rapping this side of Twista," Gil Kaufman of MTV.com wrote. "When Shady turned around and the camera caught a glimpse of the hyped crowd in the room, they raised their hands and jumped up and down to the lines about Rapunzel's cornrows and time-travel portals."
The YouTube Music Awards couldn't be seen on TV. In a unique approach to the award show, YouTube opted to harness the Internet and viewer participation online.
"The event was live-streamed the world over, and the awards were entirely dependent on the participation of viewers," wrote Hilary Hughes for USA Today. "Unfortunately, it got distracted by its own gimmick, and the chaos overwhelmed the otherwise inspired performances and subsequent dance parties."
The show was hosted by Jason Schwartzman and Reggie Watts with live performances by Eminem, Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire and others pop stars.
Winners were selected 100 percent by the public.
"You chose them, you watched them and now it's official: here are the winners of the first-ever YouTube Music Awards," the award websites says.
Local hero Eminem accepted one of the most prestigious awards of the night, Artist of the Year.
YouTube said: "Artist of the Year honors the biggest acts of the last year on YouTube, based on total number of views, likes, shares, comments and subscribers."
Eminem wins the award a day after his Saturday Night Live performance aired and garnered some criticism from fans who thought he lip-synced his performance of "Berzerk" off his new Marshall Mathers LP2 set for release Tuesday.
Other YouTube Music Award winners included Girls' Generation for Video of the Year, I Knew you were in Trouble for YouTube Phenomenon and DeStorm for Innovation of the Year. (See full winner list)
