SEATTLE -- The Cowboys' 27-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks is over, pushing both teams to 1-1 on the season. As always, we review with our weekly report.
Stock Up
Miles Austin. The wide receiver picked up his second touchdown of the season, a 22-yarder that cut the Cowboys' deficit to 10-7 in the first half. Overall, Austin finished with five receptions for 63 yards and the touchdown. Jason Garrett continues to line Austin up in various formations -- mainly outside and in the slot -- and he excels.
Sean Lee. The inside linebacker finished with 14 combined tackles, including four solos. But he was on the receiving end of a hit by Seahawks WR Golden Tate, and that might make more news than anything else. Lee missed a few snaps after getting knocked down by Tate but later returned. Lee said the hit was questionable but said if he took on Tate one-on-one, he would most likely get the best of him.
Anthony Spencer. Spencer was tied with Bruce Carter and Lee for the team-lead with four solo tackles. Spencer finished with seven tackles but had two sacks, one tackle for loss and two quarterback hits. He also had a pass breakup. Spencer set the tone for second half with a sack on Russell Wilson and then he defended a pass to Sidney Rice on third down.
Stock Down
Felix Jones. His fumble on the opening kickoff led to the first score of the game, a Seahawks field goal, and it went downhill from there. Jones averaged 21.8 yards a return and brought back two kicks from five and eight yards deep in the end zone when it was apparent he should have downed the ball.
Jason Witten. Witten dropped three passes out of 10 targeted attempts and made four catches for 58 yards. Witten doesn't appear to be 100 percent healthy, but he took a hard hit after one catch. He returned after missing a snap. Before the end of the first half, Witten went to the locker room but started the second half fine.
Special teams. Punter Chris Jones sent three of his five punts inside the 20, but he had one blocked that resulted in a score. Felix Jones' turnover led to a field goal, the first score of the game. Dez Bryant muffed a punt and averaged just 1 yard per return.

Paul: I understand your planting the little ones deeper, but in most of my
garden visits to diagnose "what's wrong with my hosta, they are dying, they
don't grow, they are lopsided, they grow crooked", 99% of the time they are
planted 2-3 inches too deep. This even happens if you plant them higher up
but put mulch on the crowns over several years.
Seems to be a carryover into the nursery trade as well - often I visit with
nurserymen who complain their workers pot their perennials too deep, then
add soil mix to fill the pot and the plants suffer.
Yes, it does take more time and dirt to backfill. But seeing as many dying
plants from being planted too deep, I would rather plant them up.
Alex Summers had a thought years ago that hosta roots need air, that is why
the tips will grow out of the ground with old clumps. Likewise, if they are
kept too moist, they will drown or rot due to low aeration. Subsequent
research on the air needs of perennial plant roots seems to have confirmed
his observation.
Note: in clay soil, hosta roots stay right at the surface, while in sandy
or loose soil they can get quite deep.

If your landscaping allows you to do it- Just add an inch or two dirt on
top of the crowns. No need to redig them if you can add soil on top of
them- but I would do it before the leaves unfold - much easier and less
likely to do any damage.
The first year I try to always plant my Hosta at least two to three inches
deep, even the small babies.
This is not because I fear that the eyes will be damaged because of the
cold- but because I do not want them popping out of the ground in the
spring. It also promotes better root growth.

Century by Alain Badiou
Book DescriptionEverywhere, the twentieth century has been judged and condemned: the century of totalitarian terror, of utopian and criminal ideologies, of empty illusions, of genocides, of false avant-gardes, of democratic realism everywhere replaced by abstraction. It is not Badiou's wish to plead for an accused that is perfectly capable of defending itself without the authors aid. Nor does he seek to proclaim, like Frantz, the hero of Sartre's Prisoners of Altona, 'I have taken the century on my shoulders and I have said: I will answer for it!' The Century simply aims to examine what this accursed century, from within its own unfolding, said that it was. Badiou's proposal is to reopen the dossier on the century - not from the angle of those wise and sated judges we too often claim to be, but from the standpoint of the century itself.

By Paula Santonocito
You work for an older man who has been coming onto you. At first you thought you were misreading the signals and that he was just being nice, but lately he has become more aggressive. He's even gone so far as to say that if you got to know each other better it could mean good things for your career. It feels like you're living a movie from another era.
The high-powered male boss who lures the young woman to the bedroom with promises of the boardroom is indeed a stereotype. But, like a lot stereotypes, it's born of reality.
As difficult as it may be to believe, not that long ago there was little protection from such behavior in the workplace. However, in 1980, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued guidelines indicating that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was extended to forbid sexual harassment as a form of sex discrimination. In other words, sexual harassment became against the law.
What does this mean to you?
Essentially, that your job description doesn't require dealing with unwanted advances from the boss. You can put a halt to this behavior immediately.
Still, even though you have the law on your side, you are in a difficult situation. Assuming you like your job and, for the most part, like your boss, do you want to claim harassment? Perhaps not initially.
You may want to try talking to your boss first, using the next time he makes an inappropriate remark as the starting point for the conversation. You might say something along the lines of, "I like working for you and I like my job, but I am not interested in the kind of relationship you're suggesting. I want to keep our relationship professional. I hope you can understand and respect my position."
Then it's up to him. Depending on what he says (or does) in response will determine what you must do next.
Hopefully he will back off and not harbor any ill feelings. But what if he doesn't?
There's one more conversation you can have. Again, wait for him to make an inappropriate remark and then let him know that you've tried to talk to him about this before and that unless he's clear about what you're saying you have no choice but to bring this situation to someone's attention.
What if he persists?
You've given him two chances to change his behavior. Now don't hesitate to report the situation to human resources. Be advised that it will trigger an investigation into your claim, and your boss will be confronted.
But don't worry that this will reflect negatively on you. The law is on your side. Your company realizes this and it will do its best to remedy the situation. The days when women (or men, for that matter) had to put up with sexual harassment in the workplace are gone.
Give your boss an opportunity to get his act together. If he doesn't, get the Civil Rights Act into the act. You don't have to be a victim.
Additional resources: For more information about sexual harassment in the workplace, check out "Preventing Sexual Harassment: A Fact Sheet for Employees," a publication prepared by an attorney, available at the U.S. Department of Transportation website.

Dell Expands Networking Portfolio for Campus, Data Center
The vendor is offering a new control switch and access nodes to simplify the management of increasingly complex campus networks.Dell is rolling out an array of networking products designed not only to simplify campus environments, but also to address the growing demand for bandwidth in data centers. The vendor on Sept. 24 introduced a unified architecture for campus networks that includes networking nodes and a switch that when used together creates a single-layer architecture with a single management point for the entire infrastructure. At the same time, Dell added to its open networking portfolio with the S6100-ON switch, which can run multiple port speeds, ranging from 10 Gigabit Ethernet to 100GbE, and is aimed at big data, cloud and virtualization environments. The new offerings are part of Dell's larger effort to take a holistic approach to enterprise networking, running from the data center and out to the campus, according to Tom Burns, vice president and general manager of Dell Networking and Enterprise Infrastructure.
"It's not just addressing the area of the data center, where bandwidth [demand] is never-ending," Burns told eWEEK. "In the campus, new architectures and applications … are really going to change how they're doing networking today."

MOPAR tube steps installation
I picked up a used set of Mopar tube steps without hardware. The front mounting points match up with my existing steps but the rear lines up with the rear part of the body where there are no holes. I assume I need to drill and use inserts but does any one know or have instructions?
Yup, most likely. what year is your Jeep and what year are the steps off? I do have the instructions still, 'cause I've yet to install the new tubes. I removed the stock plastic steps and thought the clearence with the looked cool so i left it for now.
Mine is a '98, and I know that the bolts only match up for 97' to ('99, i think, maybe '00). And from either from '00 (or '01) to '06. So my guess is that you have a combo of those 2 senerios going on. The instructions are real vague. However the install should be easy. Just mark and drill where needed...... If you rough fit the tube to the frame, to how you think it should be then measure it and do the same for the other side. Keep in mind its hard to center them, i noticed, cause the step portion of the tube is not centered, but the step should obviously be center under the door appropriatly. Also, the full step should look centered between the wheel base. I am saving that for a winter project.....
Mine is an 03 but I think I have it from input on another forum. You do have to drill the holes then insert nuts into the space behind the plastic wheel well liner.

Adore this little blue anemone, it does spread around, delightfully - disppears compleletely when it has done it's thing, I allow it everywhere - up to you whether you do or not of course, but I think it is a joy and a delight.
Damp and warmth probably - seeds and seedlings need to be barely moist, not wet, and heat often just cooks them - nice for a woolley mould. Sow some more in case these don't do.
indeed, get the tea strainer out, we have also found a few - why can't they take a hint - better yet, how can we teah some of the birds that they are delicious to eat? Mind, it is is possible that they are not, that colour doesn't usually occur on anything that tastes good to something!
We do need to be aware of advertisers on here, as if any serious gardener would use this plastic trash instead of grass - how can you have violets etc in plastic? Glad they have been reported to the moderator.
I too use no pesticides or chemicals in the garden, relying on nature and a tea strainer - essential for the capture of lily beetle! I did use provado one year when we had to be away when all my dozens of lily pots were going be to at their most vulnerable to the red meneace, it did work, and as it was in pots did not spread among the rest of the garden. I have kept it by me too not being a great belever in out of date nonsense, I would use it again should we happen to be away at that time again.
I do think we need desperately to do all we can to protect our bees, no insects, no food - quite easy really isn't it? Since I went organic some 10 -12 years ago, after a pretty difficult fist year or two, things have settled well, and we have few really destructive infestations - but do have lots of blue its ( aphids) and ladybirds, ditto, aphids, blackbirds and starlings - slugs and snails and so on and so on. The only exception is the darned lily beetle which nothing hrere recognises as prey - but I can often be found jumping upon them with great delight - our neighbours are innured to this peculiarity in behaviour at that time - minor in comparison with some!!
Cats do sleep sometimes!! Sounds mouse like, or worse rat like - I suppose as in the greenhouse unlikely to my immediate suspects, pigeons. I wonder if there are large beetles that like to do thse things? I still suspect mouses, in spite of the cats.
They are quite close together too and look a bit dry? Bamboo likes water, and space, depending upon the type. Indeed they are preparing to put out new leaves, give them time, they should recover.
It may also be less full on your side if the sun comes at a different angle from that of your neighbour. Indeed, prune hard later on when nesting is over, feed, feed and then water, water and then leave alone for a year or so - if it can recover, it will. A year of lack of attention won't do a decent privet much harm at all - if it looks tatty now, it has suffered longer than that - but can be imporved.
My neighbour has a lovely red rose that fills our side of the fence with lovely flowers, but not his, mine faces south, his, therefore, north - so of course I get the flowers. We have installed a fence with spaces between the lathes, this has improved matters no end for him, besides breaking up the wind instead of just causing it to swirl round damagaing everything.

[PHOTO] Is this Castle Stronghold? | Sat, 25 May 2002 10:49:37" />
My name is Jane and I'm new to your group. Last
summer I purchased several irises at an iris auction.
When I got home and started planting them a storm came
up. In an attempt to help me my husband started
planting iris without the plant markers. Hence my
dilemma, is this actually "Castle Stronghold"? I have
several that have no markers, and I might ask for your
help from time to time as soon as they finish blooming
and I can get a pic of them.
Thanks for your help,

This review is from: JBL Studio 180 6.5" 3-Way Floorstanding Speaker
Pros: Well constructed cabinets and drivers. Very good low end and balanced by a bright high end that's not shrill.
Cons: The speaker covers are kind of ugly, with the cheap plastic look.
Other Thoughts: I can't believe I got these for $80 a piece. They would be a good deal at twice the price. Now I have to upgrade my cheap-@ssed Pioneer receiver so I can put these puppies through their paces. I can say this though, that the sound and volume I get out of these before the Pioneer starts to clip was very much beyond my expectations. Two segregated 6 1/2 drivers delivered decent low to mid-range and the dome tweeter is good at delivering a smooth but brilliant high-end. If you can get these speakers anywhere under $125, you'd be a fool not to by them as they sound a lot better that many speakers I have heard at twice that price.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ProLounger Wall Hugger Black Microfiber Recliner
Pros: Soft and comfy. Recliner mechanism is smooth
Cons: Doesn'r seem very sturdy.
Other Thoughts: This would be a nice chair for a lady or smaller man. I'm 6'1 200lbs and while I fit it in ok, it feels like it might go over if I recline in it too quickly. Framework underneath is wood, but it seems cheaply constructed.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Water Pik SM-421 The Original Massage Showerhead - White
Pros: light weight but solid construction. Easy installation
Cons: None come to mind
Other Thoughts: Put this in my new apartment since the restricter in the stock showerhead barely let a trickle through. Now I have a good stream that I can adjust to my pleasure.A great, solid quality product.READ FULL REVIEW

thank you!
Great sound! I'm using it for as a sound effect for when a door closes in a short film i'm making.
thanks! It's perfect.
I will be uploading the individual component sounds soon in this sample pack.
nice! thnx man
LOL, this is great!
gold plated winner.
Yeah this is an old one but some people still seem to find a use for it, so I figure I might as well leave it up...
I wish I had thought at the time that I was recording reusable sound effects, but unfortunately I was more focused on hanging out with my friends and documenting the gadgets on video. That I got anything usable at all on the sound track was more of an accident, so I was happy to upload it here. That said I'd like to go back sometime with better equipment and the intention of getting clean audio and do it properly.
Amazing! Thank you SO much!
Good sample. Thanks for sharing, it was just what I needed. Here is the project I used it in:
Gracias from Spain, this is perfect!

By Robert Zullo Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Bethel Park police say a masked robber walked into a Northwest Savings Bank at 6284 Library Road shortly before 3:46 p.m. today, demanded money and left on foot after grabbing an undisclosed amount of cash.
There were no reported injuries and no weapon was displayed in the attack.
Sgt. Rob Stiglich says police are looking for a thin white man in his 20s, between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall who wore a gray sweatshirt with a red Adidas logo, a dark baseball cap and a light-colored bandanna across his face.breaking - neigh_south

Residents of Manyatta village lynched a 20-year-old man accused of raping a 50-year-old woman.
Confirming the incident, Embu North OCPD James Karisa said that the suspect, Kennedy Mukundi, managed to enter the woman's house at midnight, hitting her with a blunt object before committing the heinous act.

"The woman fell after he was hit by the suspect. It is at that point that he raped her. When she regained consciousness, she raised an alarm attracting the attention of her neighbours who beat him up," he said.
Police arrived at the scene and took the suspect to Embu Level Five hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Speaking on Monday, the woman revealed that she was attacked while seated in her sitting room.
"When I heard someone walking outside I decided to open the door but I did not realize that I had given the suspect an opportunity to gain entrance into the house. He hit me and I fell, when I regained consciousness I screamed attracting neighbors who came to my rescue," she said.
Karisa said incidences of young men attacking elderly and single women with the aim of rapping them are on the rise in the area adding that police are on high alert and will be closing in on those out to commit the act.
Last December, it was reported that a 40-year-old woman at Shinyalu in Kakamega County was found dead with police investigations indicating that she had been raped before being hacked to death.

Hello Bonnie,
Master Gardeners was the best thing I ever did in gardening. Have made
so many friend over the years since my first class. I now get asked on
occasion to "teach" at the local classes. Feel honored to give back on
occasion. We were just up in Indianapolis to a advanced training session for
credits. All day symposium very well organized and presented. I was one of
the speakers for the day and then we got to hear 3 other speakers. While
there I was asked to speak at a symposium in IL and two local county
chapters. Sure has been a lot of fun for both of us... JoAn got here
training two years back and now volunteers at the extension office doing
soil tests.
Not hard to make those needed volunteer and training hours required.

International Controls Corporation
International Controls Corporation (ICC) was an American holding company incorporated in 1965. Before being taken private in 1997, its subsidiaries included Checker Motors Corporation and Great Dane Trailers. It had previously been forced to liquidate many of its holdings after charges of massive securities fraud against the company's founder, fugitive financier Robert Vesco.
Early history[edit]
ICC was incorporated in 1965 by Robert Vesco (1935–2007), an entrepreneur from Detroit, Michigan. Vesco had secured control of Captive Seal, a valve manufacturer in Fairfield, New Jersey, and placed its assets and liabilities into the newly formed company. He then acquired Cryogenics Inc., a nearly defunct Florida-based manufacturer of cryogenic devices founded in 1959. Vesco merged ICC with Cryogenics and reorganized ICC as a public corporation in Florida, thus skirting SEC filing requirements.[1]
Vesco initiated an aggressive expansion of ICC, borrowing heavily to acquire new holdings via hostile takeovers. By the end of 1967, ICC owned Fairfield Aviation (which operated Caldwell-Wright Airport, later renamed Essex County Airport), ICC Manufacturing (formerly Lowden Machine Co.), The Special Corporation (a precision manufacturer of electronic components), Silber Products, and the Moeller Tool Corporation.[2]
ICC's stock was listed on the American Stock Exchange in May 1968. Later that year, it acquired the Intercontinental Manufacturing Company, a weapons manufacturer in Garland, Texas, and made a tender offer for the Electronic Specialty Company, a large manufacturer of aeronautical and electromechanical components. After a series of lawsuits, the acquisition of Electronic Specialty was completed in July 1969.[3]
SEC investigation[edit]
In 1970, Vesco began a takeover bid for Investors Overseas Service (IOS), a mutual fund investment firm run by Bernard Cornfield. According to later federal investigations, Vesco transferred money from IOS's mutual funds into various ICC-controlled offshore enterprises. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launched an inquiry into Vesco's dealings in March 1971. Vesco wanted Richard Nixon's Attorney General John N. Mitchell to intercede on his behalf with SEC chairman William J. Casey, and in April 1972 he sent his counsel, former New Jersey State Senator Harry L. Sears, along with ICC president Lawrence Richardson, to deliver a cash contribution of $200,000 to Maurice Stans, finance chairman for the Committee to Re-elect the President. The secret payment, made shortly after the enactment of financial disclosure laws under the Federal Election Campaign Act, was revealed in a pretrial deposition in February 1973.[4]
With criminal charges pending from the SEC investigation, Vesco fled to Costa Rica in February 1973, accused of stealing $224 million from IOS investments. He sought to maintain control over his 26 percent share of the company, but facing multiple indictments for securities fraud, he never returned to the United States, dying in Havana, Cuba in 2007.[5]
Later history[edit]
In the wake of Vesco's flight, ICC was left in massive debt and facing several lawsuits. The company was placed under court supervision and was suspended from trading stock. In April 1973, the court-appointed board of directors selected Allen M. Shinn, a recently retired United States Navy vice admiral, as president and chief executive officer, with Elmer A. Sticco named chief operating officer.[6]
To reduce its debt, the company sold off many of its subsidiaries, leaving behind Datron Systems and American Industries among its major holdings. Financier Arthur M. Goldberg launched a takeover bid in 1985, forming a corporation with Bear Stearns to acquire the company.[7] Under Goldberg, ICC acquired the trucking firm Transway International Corp. A company bought in the acquisition, Great Dane Trailers Inc., became ICC's sole remaining subsidiary after further holdings were sold off in 1988.[8]
In 1989, Goldberg engineered the reverse takeover of Checker Motors Corporation of Kalamazoo, Michigan, leaving ICC in control of two subsidiaries, Checker Motors and Great Dane Trailers. Later that year, ICC bought South Charleston Stamping and Manufacturing Co. of Charleston, West Virginia. The stamping plant was sold off in 1996. In 1997, ICC was privatized by Capital Resource Advisors, a Chicago investment firm, leaving Checker Motors Company as a stand-alone private company. Checker Motors declared bankruptcy in 2009.[9]
ICC was renamed Great Dane Holdings Inc. in 1996. All company assets were acquired by CRA Holdings Inc. in 1997.[10]
