A friend recently asked for my assistance in turning a large bowl. He knew he had a unique piece of wood, and wanted some advice on how to proceed. Even though the rough chainsaw marks obscured the real beauty, we could tell this was a very unusual blank.
Over the past year, Pete cut and stored the blank to dry, and filled a few voids with epoxy.The blank was still very heavy, but had dried without any issues...or so we thought.
Ed Hernandez' Holtzapffel Lathe
By Tom Frazer
At ten paces, E.C. "Ed" Hernandez' Victorian-era Holtzapffel ornamental lathe doesn't appear terribly impressive. Frankly, it looks somewhat like an oversized but spindly treadle-powered sewing machine connected by looping belts to an overhead dentist's drill.
Yet, this "ultimate Rube Goldberg contraption" crafted 110 years ago in London by John Jacob Holtzapffel enables Hernandez to create exquisite works of art and to continue a hobby once pursued in their leisure time by Louis XVI of France and Peter the Great of Russia.Read more about the fascinating history of this Holtzapffel lathe:

In this month's column, we have some beautiful turnings by Dean Griffith, an avid woodturner who says he was inspired by Norm Abrams. Take a closer look at Dean's diverse collection of woodturnings!
Improvised Sanding Drum
I turn spatulas. The turning is simple enough but a sanding drum is needed to finish the flat sides. I didn't want to purchase a stationary belt sander, because I have very little room in my shop, so I made a sanding drum out of PVC and high-density foam that is powered by the lathe. I used hard maple to plug the ends of the PVC and then mounted it on a faceplate and used the tailstock for stability.Here's how I made it:

Many providers of distribution systems for telecom, broadband and TV are changing technology to be able to meet the demand for increased bandwidth.
The Roxtec sealing system presents a cost-effective way to handle both fiber optics and copper cables %u2013 and the transfer from one technology to the other.
Therefore, operators, like KPN in the Netherlands, who want to make the change quickly while ensuring protection against water and dust, use Roxtec seals.g
KPN also uses Roxtec because the system handles plastic conduits for fibers. And it allows for modifications on site as well as multiple cables in a very limited space.

Description: Price signals received by lower income students, as well as educational decisions those price signals are prompting, have potentially serious consequences. Heller asserts that increased access to higher education institutions for lower income students must be established as a national priority--as an implicit promise to lower income families. This book clearly outlines the gap in college participation between rich and poor, stimulating discussion of barriers to postsecondary education for the most needy students. A group of expert researchers, led by Donald Heller, use the most recent research available to discuss the state of access to America's higher education institutions for lower income students. They examine the postsecondary education patterns of lower income students in the U.S. Also considered is the status of student aid programs. Academic and social factors that help prepare a student to remain in the higher education system are considered, along with demographic trends facing the nation and recommendations for moving the country toward the ideals of the Truman Commission of the mid-twentieth century.

Relegation struggling club Amagaju FC are optimistic they will get out of the relegation zone despite having lost ten matches this season in the Turbo King league.
Head coach Godfrey Okoko said over the weekend that he has high hopes of his side returning back to avoid being relegated at the end of this season.
The Southern Province-based is placed thirteenth tied on 7 points with Esperance who are the tip of the table in 15 matches played this season.
"I am quite sure that we will come back and win again. we are working hard though it's not that easy. I was tasked with a mission of ensuring that Amagaju doesn't drop into the second division league and am still positive this will be reached,"said Okoko.
He noted, "The players should be commended for putting up a tough fight throughout the season. Sometimes, we are not consistent enough but we have to try and get back to our level," added the former La Jeunesse and Mukura coach.
Amagaju plays away to fellow relegation-placed side Esperance at Mumena Stadium and this the match the Burundian tactician must win if his chances of getting out of the relegation zone are to be realised.

Today, my smoke alarm went off. In a frenzy, I called 9-1-1 and exited my house. Several minutes later a fire truck showed up. After investigating, one of the firemen informed me I needed to change the batteries in my smoke alarm. FML

That happened to me once, but it went off in the middle of the night and wouldn't stop until you removed the batteries. The problem? The ceiling was too high, so I couldn't reach it. I had to wait for an hour for the batteries to run out.
By perdix | 29
This story stinks! Smoke alarms with low batteries chirp, they don't go off. Also, 911 would most likely ask about any sort of info about the fire before they'd send the trucks. The taxpayers don't need to pay these highly-trained heroes to run out just because you neglected to empty the crumb tray of your toaster.

What's Going On? Weeks 13 to 17
Around 13 weeks into your pregnancy your baby's intestines have relocated from the umbilical cord to his or her own abdomen. Baby is making urine and releasing it into the amniotic fluid. Bones are beginning to form, and the skull, arms and legs are taking firm shape. They'll reach the relative lengths they'll be at birth in just a week or so. Weeks 13 to 17 see definition coming to the baby's body and it is in this quarter of the trimester that your baby's sex is apparent. Bones are forming, the skeleton is developing and the hair pattern on the scalp is becoming evident. Your baby's eyes face forward and begin to move slowly as his or her ears are nearing their final placement. If you could see inside your womb, you'd notice that your baby is beginning to make sucking motions with his or her mouth. Movement is becoming coordinated and your upcoming ultrasound will let you see how much movement is actually taking place in there.

dont worry its healed up now
Well, from the jungle, we all headed for Oasis guesthouse in china town in kuala lumpur. my mate paul recommended it and its great place. pretty cheap and new so all clean and nice. we have a great lounge with big tv and dvd's to watch, kitchen and fridge and the guys who run it are rather good value! nice dorm too, big one!
First night - wandered about to find my way round, nothing too crazy unless you count the naked starbucks. ok, so it wasnt naked but that sounded a bit wilder than just starbucks.
When i got back to Oasis the others were playing drinking games at the table - i declined the alcohol on the grounds that the malarone were making me feel naff.
Thurs 15th May
Up at 11am, early start. Went to KL Tower and the Twin Towers with Mark and Becky, splashed out on a quicksilver dress cus i have no willpower, and a lunch at the twin towers, its amazing at night when its lit up. really stunning, great atmos in the evenings in KL, lots of lights and ambience. A really nice city, i dont usually like cities
my other koh phangan tattoo
the yellow stuff is not pus it's antiseptic - normally used on the dogs!
so its unusual for me to be impressed with one! much much nicer than bangkok (well i think so).
so we finished off with a beer at the 'shark' bar, they have an aquarium over the bar with small sharks in - same type as we snorkelled with. i thought it was a bit sad having them there personally but they look pretty stunning. Watched films in the lounge at oasis later on.
16 May
Met a girl called Natanya, she's staying at oasis, by coincidence she knows neil and kate from koh tao. we hooked up and spent the day at the big bird park in KL, it was a great day actually, and we checked out the hibiscus and orchid gardens which were pretty. i moved into the dorm room with natanya. there was only us there for one night but it soon filled up.
16th May, Neil came to KL, met him at the internet place, he had a nasty infected wound on his ankle from having his foot run over by a motorbike on koh tao. it was all manky and he's on antibiotics. watched dvd's at oasis.
Kate arrived
anyone need a hand
- yeee har. staying at oasis in dorm with rest of us.
Tim arrived, met up in Reggae Bar at half 10pm and kate and neil came, we danced like loons to tunes and smoked an inordinate amount of sheesha, as they kept topping us up for free, it was like an all you can smoke buffet! neil is the only person i know that can give himself a headrush on sheesha bong, he's not all there.
up at the crack of noon as usual, kate and neil had gone and procured us free tickets to go up the KL twin towers - they are professional do-ers, always out seeing stuff while i'm lying in bed sleeping off the usual fog. so we went up to the 41st floor around 6pm, and it was pretty good views. neil made a strange 'aaaaaaaaah' noise for the whole 41 floors going down, he has huge lungs. people were indeed staring.
no alcohol, weird day.
Tim leaving for singapore at 7am. Watched Man U/Chelsea champ league game, but didnt start til 4am so went to bed at 7am, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
- up at 1pm, quiet day - went to Orchid Gardens to read book, did internet and back to Oasis at 11pm.
23rd - migraine, bummer. had a sleep then got 7.30pm bus to Singapore with kate and neil. the 7.30 bus turned out to 8, then turned into 8.30 and finally left at 9pm. bloody asian timetables. so anyway, didnt get to sling a paw til 2am!
24th - Went to Orchard, big shopping area, bought billabong stuff, Tim cooked for me and his parents in the evening.
25th - Neil flew to Kinabaloo. Went to Botanical Gardens, sat under tree in storm and watched turtles in the lake! Went to night safari at Singapore Zoo with Tim, really nice zoo.
26th, went for breakfast with the orang utans at Sing Zoo with Tim and Judy (Tim's mum)! walked round the zoo and saw a couple of shows, then went back to Tim's parents place, used the gym and swimming pool.
27th, Went to hostel in Little India called The Inn Crowd for a night, booked into the dorm, meeting Neil and Kate tomorrow at Prince of Wales. Met some americans at the Inn Crowd
monkeying around
- bar outside on the street, they were being picked up at 6am for their flight so were pulling an all nighter, joined them in the all nighter! went to bed at 6am when they were picked up. Walked into bunk and wall, seemed to have woken up the dorm. Slept till 11am when had to check out.
28th, checked into the Prince of Wales, Neil and Kate arrived later on. Went out to gig at Clark Quays. The POW is ran by some british guys, they are really good guys and play live music every night at the POW. One of them, Miles' sister sings also, and she was playing a gig at Clark Quays so we all went up in cabs and watched her gig. She was performing on a stage outside in front of a posh cocktail bar, kate and i were the only two dancing so we got 100 dollars worth of cocktail vouchers! we ended up dancing on the stage with them, oh lordy. We got very happy with all the free cocktails, cant remember tooo much but we had a great night, and then went back to Prince of Wales, and sat up
polar bear
til 6am, then crashed in dorm. Lorra lorra fun.
Various same same, found a great bar with wheelchairs, you sit in the chairs and get your drink in a drip which you wheel around with you and the alcohol drips into your mouth. very funny. the chairs are really good, really manouverable, it was like the para olympics - pulling wheelies all over the place and acting all Andy Pipkin.
29th, Back to Tims
31st Cooked lasagne for all, Tim has 2 friends arriving, Karin and Cliff, they are staying at the condo too, so got some wine in and did garlic bread and salad. Drank a bottle of lovely white jacobs creek, then everyone went to bed around 11.30 so i snuck off on the MRT (train link) and went to the Prince of Wales, found Kate, Neil and the boys, and we went out to Clark Quays again, went to nightclub called the Pump, also remember queuing for Ministry of Sound, but didnt actually get in. Got back around 11am next day.
30th, slept at Tims place while all at work, waited for Kate, were going to go to KL, Kate is leaving to
fly to London on 3rd June, so I am going to KL with her for a couple of days to see her off. however, we didnt manage to get our act together and still in Singapore.
2nd June, Kate stayed over with me at Tims, We swam in the pool then got bus to KL later on, really cold bus! mad air con!
3rd, we arrived 1am - went to oasis, the guys there know us really well now! when we arrived at 1am, Vern - Kate's friend, picked us up and we went for some indian food, back to oasis at 3am! got some sleep.
4th, Up at 12, made some breakfast at oasis and went to starbucks for coffee. We took a taxi to KL Sentral Station for kate to get the train that takes her to the airport, we got upset saying goodbye. i have had some crazy adventures with kate, met in Phangan, went to Laos, Bangkok, Malaysia, Singapore, have had so many good times and met lots of people together and have always met up and had loads and loads of fun. Will be really crap not to have Kate in malaysia
insecty thing
anymore, very sad to say goodbye (for now only! will get together again!!).
Rather teary and got on the wrong train, kate phoned 3 times from the departure lounge ha ha, and i eventually noticed the train was not going to the right place! had to get off, get one back to KL Sentral and then go the one stop in the opposite direction to get back to oasis. Durr.
So - was a nice evening at Oasis - the owner is a really good oil painter and was doing various canvasses, Matt - a german guy was still there from the time before, as his wallet was stolen and he was waiting for bank cards to arrive, and i got friendly with Vera, a german girl also staying in the dorm. There were loads of people staying at oasis and we had a great night, we all had a go at painting an outline of a face on a big blank canvas and then the owner made a brilliant big oil painting out of it. its abstract expressionism apparently. looks like a funky mess to me, really excellent paintings tho! had a fab night.
Next day,
posted some stuff for Kate to Australia, and went to dinner with vera to brill veggie place. We gonna get train together early in the morning to go back to singapore.
5th - up early - got 8.15am train with vera, vera had already bought a ticket but lost it and had to buy another one. she found the original ticket after she got home, bless. We got to Singapore at 5pm, and went to a vegetarian restaurant, recommended to us by a dutch guy in the dorm at the oasis. was really good, we had pizza and wine.
6th - met up with vera at 8.30, so we could see the orang utans at breakfast time at the zoo again. we spent the day at the zoo and had a really great day. We then went shopping at Orchard, and had lunch, more shopping then a brill indian veggie meal at Little India in the evening, then i went back to Tims place to stay.
7th - Met Vera in the morning, more shopping, quick look at Raffles Hotel, it peed down with rain, went back to Tims place in the afternoon, cooking dinner for Tim
Singapore Zoo
just one of the scenic shots, lots more
and Judy and Peter. Karin and Cliff leaving today. Made a yummy shepherds pie and apple crumble for pudding for later. We all ate and drank some wine, then i went out to prince of wales late - stayed over at miles' and cats flat. Watched Blackadder all night - very funny.

(Nasdaq: NURO), www.neurometrix.com, a medical device company focused on the diagnosis and treatment of the neurological complications of diabetes, reported today that it will be an exhibitor at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists' (AACE) 21 st Annual Scientific and Clinical Congress. The AACE Annual Meeting will be held at the Marriott Philadelphia Downtown and The Pennsylvania Convention Center. NeuroMetrix will feature the NC-stat ® DPNCheck ™, a medical device providing a fast, accurate, and quantitative point-of-care test for the detection of systemic neuropathies such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). DPN affects over 50% of people with diabetes and can lead to foot ulcers and amputation. Since commercial launch of NC-stat DPNCheck in late 2011, the company has attracted an expanding customer base of physicians, including endocrinologists. NC-stat DPNCheck is also being successfully introduced into managed care and retail health organizations. The company will also discuss the SENSUS ™ pain management device which is under development and is designed to help patients manage chronic pain, such as painful diabetic neuropathy. NeuroMetrix recently filed a 510(k) premarket notification with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for SENSUS. The device has not been cleared by FDA and is not available for commercial distribution. "The AACE Annual Meeting is an important event for endocrinologists, including those with a practice focus on diabetes," said Shai N. Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, NeuroMetrix. "This meeting provides us the opportunity to discuss with the endocrinology community our approaches to DPN, which is one of the leading complications of diabetes." About NeuroMetrix NeuroMetrix is an innovative medical device company that develops and markets home use and point-of-care devices, associated consumables, and support software for the treatment and management of diabetes and its complications. The company is focused on nerve related complications of diabetes, called diabetic neuropathies, which affect over 50% of people with diabetes. If left untreated, diabetic neuropathies trigger foot ulcers that may require amputation, cause disabling pain, and increase the risk of falling in the elderly. The annual cost of diabetic neuropathies has been estimated at $14 billion in the United States. The company's products are used by physicians and other clinicians, in retail health settings such as pharmacies, and by managed care organizations to optimize patient care and reduce healthcare costs. The company markets the NC-stat ® DPNCheck ™ device, which is a rapid, accurate, and quantitative point-of-care test for diabetic neuropathy. This product is used to detect diabetic neuropathy at an early stage and to guide treatment.

(The following statement was released by the rating agency)
Dec 06 -
-- Hong Kong-based commercial property investor Hysan has increased the quality and scale of its leasing property portfolio following the opening and satisfactory leasing of its new retail and office property, Hysan Place.
-- We expect the company's financial performance to improve materially in the next two years, due to the contribution from Hysan Place and continued positive "rental reversions" in Hong Kong's favorable commercial property market.
-- We are raising our long-term corporate credit rating on Hysan and the issue ratings on its outstanding notes to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'; the Greater China regional ratings remain 'cnA+'.
-- The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Hysan will maintain its solid market position in Causeway Bay and generate increasing cash flows and profits while sustaining low leverage over the next 24 months.
Rating Action
On Dec. 6, 2012, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services raised its long-term corporate credit rating on Hong Kong-based commercial property investor Hysan Development Co. Ltd. to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'. The outlook is stable. We also raised our issue ratings on all the senior unsecured notes issued by Hysan (MTN) Ltd. and guaranteed by the company to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'. The long-term Greater China regional scale ratings on the company and its senior unsecured notes remain 'cnA+'.
We raised the rating on Hysan because we believe the company's cash flows and leverage will materially improve, given a stronger market position and increased rental income following the opening and satisfactory leasing of its new retail and office property, Hysan Place. We assess the company's business risk profile as "satisfactory" and its financial risk profile as "modest," as the terms are defined in our criteria.
In our opinion, Hysan has improved the scale, quality, and tenancy mix of its portfolio following the completion of Hysan Place. The company's competitive position in Causeway Bay, one of Hong Kong's major commercial and retail districts, has also improved with the addition of the large mixed-use building in a prime location. Hysan Place has a total gross floor area of 710,000 square feet, which has expanded Hysan's retail portfolio space by 50.0% and the office portfolio by 12.4%. The company had leased out 100% of the retail space and 43% of office space by October 2012.
We expect Hysan Place's office occupancy rate to gradually improve over the next year, as tenants are likely to seek lower-cost space due to steep rents in Central, Hong Kong's central business district. Hysan will continue to benefit from the tight supply of new office and retail space, particularly in the Causeway Bay area, and our forecast for moderate retail sales growth, which should help to push up spot rental prices.
We estimate that Hysan's financial performance will improve strongly in 2012 and 2013, driven by new rental income from Hysan Place and "positive rental reversions" (or rent increases) when existing leases expire. In our base case, we estimate 25% revenue growth in 2012 and 14.5% in 2013. We expect the company to maintain high occupancy levels averaging about 95%, due to stability in the leasing market. We also estimate that the EBITDA margin will decline to 75.5% from 78.1% in 2011 because of one-off expenses and an increase in overheads associated with the opening of Hysan Place. The margins should recover to about 78.0% in 2013, with an expected improvement in occupancy and full-year contributions from the new building.
We expect Hysan to increase its free cash flows and anticipate that it will use surplus cash to reduce its total borrowings in the next two years. In our base case, we estimate total borrowings will decline to about Hong Kong dollar (HK$) 6.3 billion by the end of 2012 and HK$6.1 billion by the end of 2013 from a peak of HK$7.0 billion in 2011. With improving cash flows and declining borrowings, Hysan's leverage--or the ratio of debt to capital--could fall to 10.8% by the end of 2012 and 10.3% in 2013 from 12.1% at the end of 2011. Cash flow coverage--or the ratio of funds from operations (FFO) to debt--could improve to about 25% in 2012 and 30% in 2013 from 18.4% in 2011.
The peak of Hysan's capital spending program is over. In our base case, we have factored in HK$500 million-HK$800 million in capital expenditure for refurbishment and asset enhancement for 2013-2014. However, the amount will be significantly less than the capital expenditure for the past two years. The company is repositioning its property portfolio to meet growing demand from retailers, which suggests potential expenditure to redevelop some of its older office buildings over the next two to three years.
The rating on Hysan also reflects the company's conservative and consistent financial management and "exceptional" liquidity. In our view, Hysan selects development projects very cautiously and focuses on enhancing asset quality and improving property values rather than on large acquisitions and expansion. The company has a good track record of maintaining low leverage and good liquidity.
Hysan's relative small scale and the high geographic concentration of its property portfolio temper the above strengths. The company has a limited number of properties and the majority of these are small-to- mid sized. All its properties are located in Causeway Bay.
Hysan's liquidity is" exceptional," as defined in our criteria. We expect the company's sources of liquidity to exceed uses by 2.0x or more in the next year. Our liquidity assessment incorporates the following factors and assumptions:
-- Primary liquidity sources in 2013 include cash and cash equivalents that we estimate at HK$2.0 billion as of the beginning of 2013, committed and undrawn bank facilities of about HK$1.0 billion, and FFO of about HK$1.9 billion.
-- Primary liquidity uses in 2013 include debt maturities of HK$700 million, capital expenditure of HK$800 million, and dividends of about HK$800 million.
-- In our view, Hysan has good banking relationships and capital market standing in Hong Kong. The company also has a US$1 billion medium-term note program, which it has intermittently used to raise funds.
-- The company's securities investments, which have a carrying value of about HK$1.6 billion as of June 30, 2012, provide an added liquidity buffer. We did not include these as a liquidity source in our calculation.
-- Hysan has limited and fairly loose financial covenants on its bank loans. The company has good headroom to absorb a low-probability, high-impact event. We estimate that the company will not breach covenant test measures even if our forecasted EBITDA falls by 50%.
The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Hysan will maintain its solid market position in Causeway Bay and generate increasing cash flows and profits in a favorable commercial property market in the next 12-24 months. We also expect the company to maintain low leverage and strong liquidity.
We could lower the rating if the company's cash flow protection and capital structure weakens due to a sustained deterioration in the commercial property market in Hong Kong. We could also downgrade Hysan if the company deviates from its focused and conservative strategy by undertaking large and aggressive debt-funded acquisitions or if its property occupancy drops significantly. An FFO-to-debt ratio of less 15% could indicate that its credit profile has deteriorated.
The potential upside to the rating in the next 24 months is limited due to the high geographic concentration of Hysan's portfolio and its relative small scale compared with peers that we rate 'A-'. We may raise the rating if the company expands and diversifies its income-generating real estate portfolio and improves its asset quality while maintaining strong cash flows and low leverage.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Nokia ( NOK) shareholders are seeing a sizable jump in their investment after Microsoft ( MSFT) announced it will be acquiring its devices business for $7.2 billion.However, Scott Redler, chief strategic officer of T3Live.com, told TheStreet's Debra Borchardt the move won't likely help Microsoft. Redler said Microsoft is a "dead stock" despite the move, and questions remain about the company's future of once CEO Steve Ballmer steps down. Back in August, there was a lot of September call option buying, indicating an upward move would happen within the next month, he added. After Microsoft announced Ballmer would be retiring within 12 months, the stock ripped higher, to about $35 per share. Since then those gains have evaporated. Redler said he doesn't think there are any positive catalysts for the tech giant in the next six to eight months, but if investors really like the name they can look at a long position somewhere below $32.

I have recently downloaded Spiceworks for my network and done my initial scan. I have 166 devices, of which 113 are unknown, a large majority of which are XP workstations, a few are windows 7 workstations, and some are straight IP's that it cant associate anything with. There are 2 errors associated with these, user authentication failed (Should not be because the user is on the machines as admin w/ same password) and Permission and Firewall Problem. My biggest problem right now is getting the XP stations up and running. Some of them have no problem, and the ones that had problems I ran "netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable" then some of them worked. But there are some that still are not recognizing that i have run that on. On one machine (My test bed) I have also manually opened the ports requested in the help sections, disabled the firewall all together, made sure the user account I'm using has WMI privileges, checked to see if DCOM is running and checked its configuration. The only thing i noticed is that the Default Authorization level and Default Impersonation Level are not even options in the DCOM config, but other than that everything is fine and set up for optimal spiceworks scanning. It still does not scan. If i can get these other XP machines scanning, i will worry about the win 7 ones later.

wow,the fields look much bigger in your pics. that is about what i do. i place fields at 10x10 and average 500 food each. so you have food for 120-150 population based on you farmers.the problem of moving supply can be solved with markets.1 vendor would move a lot of stock closer to population and stop the farmers from filling the closest barns. when i 1st started playing banished, i never liked using the markets cause there really is no money in the game. 1 thing i do also is to stop clearing more land by mid winter so the workers have time to catch up before spring. they can use the extra time to stock their houses up with food and firewood and it makes sure the farmers get baxk to their fields by spring to plant.if they get to their fields late the harvest could be less or none at all. i just had a snowfall in early fall cost me a corn crop completely.stupid thing is the pumpkins take longer to grow yet they didn't get frosted. if you ever find a good balance with CC let me know. i always over produce something and run out of something before i catch it.
By Zanzibar42 · PostedI've been messing around with different terrain setting, but I'm liking the verdant plains. I like the color of the grass and the mostly flat terrain. The fields are all around 110-120 tiles so they only require one worker each; I think I have 16 farmers and 5 herdsmen currently. I'm still trying to get a stable production going in the settlement, I seem to always be short of some material. I need to work on it some more to get it balanced.
it is interesting to see how others play the game sometimes. can i ask a few questions? how long have you used the verdant plain setting? i'm too used to the lake maps that terrain plays with my eyes when i try it. with those huge fields how many workers do you have on them and how is your production numbers? it looks good with the wide roads and all the extra mods work well together.

Dear Tech Support Team:
Dear Tech Support Team:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0.
I soon noticed that the new program, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activities.
Applications such as BachelorNights 10.3, Cricket 5.0, BeerWithBuddies 7.5, and Outgoings 3.6 no longer runs, crashing the system whenever selected.
I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications.
I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 5.0 , but the 'uninstall'
doesn't work on Wife 1.0.
Please help!
"A Troubled User"
Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that people complain about.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 5.0 to Wife 1.0 , thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program.
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!!
It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 5.0.
You cannot go back to Girlfriend 5.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed not to allow this.
I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to deviate all software augmentation.
The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.
Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean 2.5, Sweep 3.0, Cook 1.5 and DoLaundry 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program NagNag
9.5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Sarees 2.1 and Jewellery 5.0
STATUTORY WARNING : DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With ShortSkirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.
Best of luck,
Tech Support ...
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as: NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
However, remember that overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1
Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)
In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend: Cooking 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7
Good Luck Babe!

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Lafayette's hope of coming back through the losers bracket to win the Little League World Series is over.
The all-stars from nearby Clinton County, Pa., showed no mercy Monday night handing Lafayette a 10-0 deafeat.
Louisiana was unable to get a hit off two Pennsylvania pitchers in a game shorted to 3-1/2 innings by the Little League World Series 10-run rule.
Lafayette was never in the game. Pennsylvania's Brandon Miller hit a 2-1 pitch from Hunter Bergeron over the right field wall in the bottom of the first to open the flood gates.
After a walk and hit batsman, Wyatt Koch emptied the bases with a double to left to make it 3-0. Pennsylvania, only 30 miles from South Williamsport, added seven more runs in the second on four hits and two walks.
"They got on fire," Lafayette manager Leland Padgett said. "They hit the ball well. We may have made a pitching mistake at the beginning."
Bergeron did not get an out in the second and gave up seven of the 10 runs.
"They were due," Padgett said of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania was shut out in their first game and managed only two runs in the second, which was good enough for a win.
"We haven't hit the ball well since we got here," Padgett said. "When you're down three runs in the first inning, you have to answer back."
He praised starter Landon Breon, who combined with Brandon Miller on a no-hitter. "He threw strikes, he got ahead," Padgett said
Padgett said Lafayette hit well in the Southwest Region tournament in Waco, Texas.
"In Waco, we out hit everyone," he said, noting it was 107 degrees in Waco.
He joked maybe "our bats got cold here.
"It could be the pitching," he said.
The Lafayette players hit well in the cages before the game but it did not carry over, he said.
"We never envisioned ourselves being here in the first place," Padgett said.
Pennsylvania manager Bill Garbrick pulled Breon after 50 pitches with one out in the fourth despite throwing a no-hitter so Breon will be eligible to pitch Thursday should the team beat Warner Robins, Ga., on Tuesday.
Garbrick said the leadoff homer was a boost for his team.
"You lead off a game like that and you can't help to get pumped up. The roar of the crowd was amazing as he was rounding the bases," Garbrick said.
The partisan fans saluted the Keystone Little League all-stars from Clinton County with chants of "Keystone! Keystone!" following their latest victory. They play home games just 30 miles from South Williamsport.
Breon struck out two and walked three before Miller came on for the last two outs. The game ended after the top of the fourth due to Little League's 10-run rule.
Catcher Wyatt Koch credited Miller's homer with providing the spark his team needed with Pennsylvania facing elimination.
"It does take the pressure off," the 13-year-old Koch said. "It gets you motivated to get more runs and it helps the pitcher get a lead."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The old style 3 jaw chuck has smaller screws holding the soft jaws on. This isn't a problem until it comes time to replace the soft jaws
The tommy bar limits the amount of torque you can apply when closing the chuck. I have a couple with bent ends from exceeding that limit. I just use and openend wrench on a jaw and the tommy bar to tighten the chuck. If I need a tighter clamp, I use the four jaaw.
A newer spindle is a good idea. After a while the old style spindle looses the tiny amount of pre-load on the bearings due to the C Clip loosing up. The new style spindle with the pre-load nut is a good investment. You can still use the old housing, but you will need to get a new pulley or under cut the old one on the face near the houseing to clear the nut.
My old lathe was a second hand purchase some 20+ years ago. It's cut a lot of chips of various materials over the years. They are tough little machines.

My birthfather went by many names, I know he had the same name as his father, which was Merrick James Marble, but he also went by James Michael Marble. His death certificate says he was born 12/22/1927 and he was born in MI. I know from other sites that his mother was Eva Brackenbury and I just found out yesterday that I have two half-sisters, one of whom died in 1999. He died on 10/22/2000 in Hanford, CA and he was cremated and his death cert says that his ashes were deposited "at sea off the coast of Humboldt county". I can definitely fill in a lot of information from my birth on. I was born in 1975, I have found helpful info on other sites that led me to find out some info. I have two brothers also, I was born Jason Washteh Marble, hope this helps and I just want to let my surviving sister know that I exist, I am really not expecting anything, I am just curious because now I have kids and they are going to have questions.

Yes, Brine has the potential to be very powerful, but only after the opponent reaches half-HP. A Pokempn could easily be vanquished with Scald or Acrobatics when it has about half HP, and also Scald has the additional burning. As well, you also have Surf, which is pretty powerful anyway, so I think you should remove Brine. Hope I helped. :) Source: http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-bw/brine.shtml answered Jun 18, 2014 by !'•-Indigo-•'! selected Jun 19, 2014 by MOTHAHASARRIVED THank YOU SO MUCH!

It's not available to the public just yet, but it's already being called a potential "Game-changer" for people living with chronic heart failure.
It's a pill that may not only help them live longer, but it's also expected to improve a heart failure patient's quality of life.
Researchers conducted the largest study ever of a heart failure treatment.
They found this new drug, which comes in pill-form and is taken twice a day, was much better at allowing people with chronic heart failure to live longer and reducing heart failure hospitalizations when compared to those who received standard care.
Researchers say the new medication is thought to reduce the strain on the failing heart and promotes the ability of the heart muscle to recover.
Complete findings for this study can be found in the "New England Journal of Medicine."

|Reviews for Gundam SEED Destiny: The Mirage
| leafstone chapter 5 . 5/3/2014
great story.
| Wraith Five chapter 5 . 11/24/2011
I really hope you continue this story! I've read a number of SEED and Destiny rewrites (including those that you've borrowed from), and I must say, I honestly have no clue how things would continue with someone like Kai added in... I realize it has been 7 months, but I really hope you continue this fic.
Wraith Five
| stardrago chapter 5 . 6/20/2011
so when will we see the Mirage's final mirage system, when the Minerva leaves Orbs waters and gets attack the by earth alliance with having two of those mobile armors? One for Shinn and one for Kai? If so how long will that take to get to those chapters?
| animefan29 chapter 5 . 3/16/2011
Kai is definitely not Setsuna. That crazy fight-loving attitude will get him killed, nor is it very conducive to working on a military team. Was he even paying attention to his power gauge? Oh I know what would be good, for him to fight a Newtype like Rey, Neo, or Kira who can sense Kai's position without relying on his eyes or sensors.
| 00virtuezero chapter 5 . 3/15/2011
Man, I'm so glad to see you back on this story! Heh kai just enjoys fighting. That makes him pretty unique as protagnist of gundam. I can tell the blzaing mirage is more fit for multiple oppents than just one. Yeah it would be cool if you changed it up even more. By the way I have a some mobile suit design ideas for yyour Mirage story. Just responses to me if you're interested.
| SulliMike23 chapter 5 . 3/14/2011
Kai is starting to sound like he enjoys all this!
| Genesis-666 chapter 2 . 1/4/2011
I like the Mirage Gundam, very cool on your part. But there is one thing that suprises me and now that I think about it the follwing authors you mention and borrow Oc's from don't seem to know...Their is an official Blitz Gundam Successor called the Nero Blitz gundam...look it up it exists.
| animefan29 chapter 4 . 4/26/2010
Well I'll say this, Kai is no Setsuna. So I am doubting he was in a terrorist organization. Well I guess I will just have to wait for you to reveal more of his past.
| Darth Brain chapter 4 . 4/24/2010
Another brilliant chapter. I can see the changes, especially with Kai and Aleron. They do reflect Setsuna and Al-Saachez, and the fight was well-inspired. I like the Mirage; it's appearance, specs and abilities are excellent, and it suits Kai, and belongs in his hands.
I'm looking forward to seeing how much you will change from Akatsuki's canon, and hoe Kai fits in overall.
| SulliMike23 chapter 4 . 4/24/2010
Why do I sense a little bit of Gundam 00 mixed into this chapter? But the fact that Kai may actually KNOW the pilot of that Blitz copycat? My interest is definitely sparked.
| Darth Brain chapter 1 . 4/23/2010
Well, Soullesoul did mention that you had an OC character for SEED...I just didn't expect you to write a story with him, in Akatsuki's canon. His work is brilliant, and I can see Kai having an effect on the story.
I'm also interested in the Mirage, so it'll be interesting to see Kai using it in the major battles.
I'll definitely enjoy this fic!
| 00virtuezero chapter 3 . 4/23/2010
Not much too say in this chapter. Intresting chnage with Kai however. Also with Aleron too. I think the reason why Kai went too ZAFT is because he doesn't belive in pacificsm like Orb. By the way how old is aleron excalty. mid 20s or late 20s? Looking forward too your next update and also yeah that made me feel better too on your PM. Also I've got a clean slate with AL13 too. He ven offered me his some story ideas.
| Windam X chapter 3 . 4/23/2010
Well, not a lot to say since this chapter was mostly unchanged from AkutsukiLeader's version. Though I was caught a bit off guard by Kai's random entry into Shinn's little scuffle with the druggie trio, I pegged him as wild but not like that!
By the way, is that a picture of the Mirage Gundam in your profile?
| Commedia chapter 3 . 4/23/2010
In my personal opinion, this is not your best story. while reading it i have found it too chaotic to fully absorb. you have too many OCs to keep track of them all. in GSD: Kira you used OCs well, separating them from the others and introducing them gradually.(sons of persephone FTW) you also have a gift for manipulating existing characters that leaves me green with envy. (tolle GSD: Kira)yet you seem to have done nothing with shinn. i actually would like to see him as something other than a whiny bitch. i was kind of hoping for that in this story. now it feels like the OCs have taken over. i will still keep reading, but i hope to see some more fluidity in the execution.
| animefan29 chapter 3 . 4/23/2010
One problem with writing your own version of someone else's story is for chapters like this that are essentially the same. I have already reviewed the original and nothing new here for me to comment on. Though recently I have been questioning why Kai is in the PLANTs? I mean I realize he is a refugee from Orb but the question is why didn't he return to Orb after the war was over? I know that the same could be asked of Shinn (especially when Kira's theory that Shinn still loves Orb is taken into account), but with him the most likely answer would be that Orb brought up too many painful memories of his family dieing plus the fact that he blames the leaders of Orb for the invasion of Orb by the EA. But with Kai we don't see that, and the only answer I can think of is that he reasoned that the mostly likely place he could become a Gundam pilot was ZAFT.

Note: To watch the Racing.com live broadcast and access on-demand video race replays online you will need to be a Racing+ member. To find out more and sign up to Racing+ please click here >
What is Racing.com?
The Racing.com channel is a joint partnership between Racing Victoria and Seven West Media to broaden the reach of Victorian thoroughbred racing and showcase the sport, its many great stories and its personalities. It is available through both Foxtel Channel 529 and the free-to-air channels 78 (and 68 in regional areas) broadcast using MPEG4 technology and showcases Victorian thoroughbred racing 363 days-a-year. It is integrated with digital streaming and other services at Racing.com and showcased to regional areas via affiliate broadcasters.
What is the difference between Channel 68 (Regional) and Channel 78 (Metro)?
Nothing. The same daily broadcast of Victorian thoroughbred racing appears on both Channel 68 and 78. Both are free-to-air channels. Foxtel Channel 529 broadcasts the same vision as the two free-to-air channels.
When did Racing.com begin broadcasting?
The showcase coverage of Victorian thoroughbred racing commenced on Saturday, 29 August 2015. Seven West Media kindly commenced an interim broadcast on Channel 78 in late June to assist punters, fans and participants impacted by the Sky Racing blackout. PRIME7 did likewise for regional viewers via Channel 68 from 28 July.
Where can I watch the free-to-air TV broadcast on Racing.com?
With broadcast agreements in place with regional affiliates PRIME7 and Southern Cross, the free-to-air broadcast of Victorian thoroughbred racing on Racing.com is available to 95% of the Australian population. Following is a list of the channel and free-to-air broadcaster in each region:
· Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth – Channel 78 (Seven Network)
· Hobart – Channel 68 (Southern Cross)
· Darwin – Channel 78 (Southern Cross)
· Regional Victoria – Channel 68 (PRIME7)
· Southern NSW and ACT – Channel 68 (PRIME7)
· South Western NSW (Broken Hill) – Channel 68 (Southern Cross)
· Northern NSW and Gold Coast – Channel 68 (PRIME7)

· Regional Queensland (Other) – Channel 78 (Seven Network)
· Regional South Australia (Spencer Gulf) – Channel 68 (Southern Cross)
· Regional Tasmania – Channel 68 (Southern Cross)
Am I within the broadcast network for Channel 68 or 78?
If you can view metropolitan free-to-air television channels (via domestic TV and not just via a retransmission on pay-TV), PRIME7, GWN7 or Southern Cross (SCA) then the Channel 68/78 broadcast should be accessible. To view maps of each of the metropolitan and regional broadcast networks, including the postcodes and suburbs/townships contained within the broadcast area, click on "TV Broadcast Maps" under Quick Links on the rv.racing.com homepage.
What about viewers in Alice Springs and other remote areas in and around Central Australia?Discussions are continuing with affiliate broadcasters who service Central Australia, including Alice Springs and other remote townships, via the VAST satellite service on opportunities to extend the Racing.com free-to-air channel to these regions.

If you're within the Channel 68/78 broadcast network but are unable to tune your television in to receive the signal it may be that your TV or set top box is not MPEG4 compatible.What is the difference between MPEG2 and MPEG4?MPEG4 is a more efficient format of broadcasting which has the ability to provide better picture quality, particularly for sporting events. The Federal Government is strongly encouraging national broadcasters to use MPEG4 technology into the future as it requires less of the national spectrum to transmit pictures. Since 2009, the vast majority of TVs have been made with MPEG4 compatibility as a result. Approximately 80% of Australian homes now have MPEG4 compatible televisions. Non-compatible TVs can view a free-to-air MPEG4 broadcast with the use of a compatible digital set top box or Personal Video Recorder (PVR).
How can I tell if my TV is MPEG4 compatible?All major recognised brands of televisions, digital set top boxes and PVR's purchased since 2009, including any devices bearing the Freeview logo, will have this capability, but those bought prior to 2009 may not support MPEG4. If you are unsure if your current TV supports MPEG4 you will need to refer to your TV manual or contact the manufacturer of your TV.
Note: For some TVs you may need to manually activate MPEG4 compatibility within the television's system settings.
How do I know if my TV doesn't support MPEG4?TVs which do not support MPEG4 are most likely to demonstrate the following behaviour: Channel 68 (Regional) / Channel 78 (Metro) appears in the channel list, but the picture is black and the sound may or may not be heard.
I think my TV is MPEG4 compatible but I can't find the channel. Why?Channel 68 (Regional) / Channel 78 (Metro) should automatically appear in the channel list of most TVs. If not, then the first thing to do is to re-tune your TV. Most TVs have an option to automatically re-scan channels within the TV menu. In many cases, the channel will appear after completing this process. If you're unsure how to re-scan channels you should refer to your TV manual or contact the manufacturer of your TV.
Can I still watch Channel 68/78 if my TV is not MPEG4 compatible?Not without purchasing a set top box which supports MPEG4. Set top boxes range in price from approximately $30 to $50, are relatively simply to connect to your TV and are available where most TVs are sold. The vast majority of set top boxes support MPEG4, however you should seek confirmation from sales staff when purchasing.
I have a set-top box but I still can't get Channel 68/78?Some of the very early set top boxes provided by Government as part of the Household Assistance Scheme during Australia's switch to digital TV may not be MPEG4 compatible. If you received a set top box under the Household Assistance Scheme then you may need to acquire a new MPEG4 compatible box as outlined above.
Can I use a PVR to watch Channel 68/78 instead of a set top box?You can use a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) in similar fashion to a set top box to make your television MPEG4 compatible if you cannot immediately see Channel 68/78. If you're unsure how, you should refer to your PVR manual or contact the manufacturer of your PVR. A PVR is more expensive than a set top box at approximately $200 to $250, however it allows you to record hours of live TV and watch other channels whilst doing so.

Aaron was a Mobian Echidna, the son of Rembrandt and brother of Jordan. He has the distinction of being the first Guardian of Angel Island to die unmarried and childless, and before joining the Brotherhood of Guardians.
As the last Guardian trained without the restrictions his father Rembrandt instituted after his death, Aaron was fully aware of the continued existence of his predecessors as Guardians. On his third trip to Mobius, however, he ran afoul with Dark Legion Grandmaster Menniker and a group of Overlanders with plans to launch a missile at Angel Island. Leaping atop the missile before it was launched, Aaron attempted to disarm it using skills taught to him by his grandfather, only to be attacked by Menniker. Almost immediately, his distant relative made the mistake of telling him not to press a particular switch as it would detonate the missile, Aaron defiantly did so anyway, detonating the missile and killing them both. After grieving for his son, Rembrandt came up with the Brotherhood code of secrecy while training his second son Jordan by keeping certain information, including the continued existence of previous Guardians, secret from him. This tradition continued on to Jordan's son Mathias and continued until the time of Knuckles. (KtE: #25)
After Death
Hundreds of years later, Aaron was present along with the rest of the deceased Guardians who met with his brother's descendant Knuckles during Knuckles' brief stay in the afterlife. (StH: #121)
Background Information
- Aaron's mother was listed as Sasi-Ka in The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia.
- He has a few similarities with Emerson Acorn; They both were never married, and both of their deaths lead to changes in laws and traditions.
A red Echidna, Aaron wore a black, open chested vest similar to Sally Acorn's, spiked guardian gloves and grey boots. Aaron also wore a band on his right foremost dreadlock.

Review by:
Yllektra V.
on Nov. 02, 2011 :
The book follows Will Emerson Jr and Jordyn Quig, as they look for an ancient artifact, the Book of Raziel, that is a book believed to be written by the Archangel Raziel containing all the knowledge in the world and for that priceless.
It holds the power to do both good and evil and should it fall into the wrong hands it would mean...well the Apocalypse.
Will's parents are archaeologists, always traveling around the world, mostly Jerusalem where Will spend his summers and met several archaeology-related vips like professors etc.
His mother disappeared when he was little leaving him alone with his father, who was hardly in the book...being incessantly busy.
Jordyn on the other side, grew up with her father, a rich and famous video-game developer, since her mother abandoned her when she was very little. Throughout the book she seems fed up with the attention her father's name attracts to her and finds the people who approach her for this, shallow and distasteful.
When she signs up to Will's school, she is immediately approached by the popular clique, a company of teens who are cocky, rude and ridicule people who are there on a scholarship criticizing their lack of money and their need to wear second-hand clothes.
Both Will and Jordyn rise to the occasion, Jordyn by defending and befriending such a girl, Deirdre and Will by not succumbing to Logan's insults. I found Will's faith and courageous bravery quite refreshing and the scene in which he has just gotten beaten up and recites the part of the bible where it says to turn the other cheek, quite striking.
The plot flows easily and even though in the beginning it is a bit vague and you are not sure what is going to happen, a few chapters in you understand that it is all about the Book of Raziel and how people, both good and evil look for it all for their own selfish reasons.
The writing style was very good, as it was descriptive enough to pull you in and make you "picture" things, and loose enough not to burden you with unnecessary details that would clutter your mind.
I have to admit though that the ending was a surprise to me. I could really see how it could end like that for Will, since he was a deeply religious person who had suffered a loss and carried feelings of loss and longing to find his mother again, but for Jordyn I'm not so sure.
The scene between her and Oisin was a bit far-stretched for me. I mean the whole "Love forever" thing felt a bit arbitrary to me and I didn't feel it. They had only interacted like thrice? I could see the whole thing about the grace of God and all, but it just didn't do it for me in her case.
That being said, I have to admit that I was a sucker for the relationship between Jordyn and Will and I loved the platonic/friendship aspect of it. It is one of the rare cases where I am completely fine with the two protagonists not being a couple too. All their scenes were satisfying and engrossing and you could really enjoy the warmth and intimacy of their relationship too, which speaks volumes for the author's skills.
Give this book a try you wont regret it! XD

Chippa United and Golden Arrows through in Nedbank Cup
Chippa United and Golden Arrows are through the Nedbank Cup semi-finals after 1-0 victories on Saturday afternoon.
Arrows won through against Platinum Stars at the Princess Magogo Stadium, with veteran defender Musa Bilankulu heading home on 40 minutes.
The Durban-based side, who are flying high in seventh spot in the League standings, could have had a few more as they dominated for large parts, but will ultimately settle for 1-0 win.

Tom Foley is dead to me
I was looking forward to a spirited rematch between Gov. Dannel Malloy and his Republican challenger in the last gubernatorial race, Tom Foley.
I even think Foley, who has launched only an exploratory committee for the race, has been on his game so far, raising legitimate ethical questions that have had both Republicans and Democrats in the state squirming.
There is no question that Malloy, if he runs, as expected, is extremely vulnerable, running a state that seems to lag behind the rest of the country on most economic score sheets.
Then along came this week's government shutdown, sponsored by a cadre of crazed Republicans in Washington.
Malloy suddenly looks a lot better to me, and maybe to many sane Connecticut voters.
Foley, according to one newspaper interview he gave earlier this week, has sided with the tea party, saying that he endorses the strategy of House Republicans to shut down the government to extract changes in the Affordable Care Act.
"So I support what they are doing," Foley was quoted as saying.
That was enough to cross him off my list of people who might make a good Connecticut governor.
And I had thought, wrongly, apparently, that maybe Foley was the kind of level-headed Republican who would condemn the ransom-taking tactics of the extremists in the party.
After all, there are enough reasonable Republicans in the House to pass a bill today to reopen the government, if only their speaker, pandering to the far right wing of his party, would bring it to the floor for an honest vote.
I tried to reach Foley Thursday to find out if there was some nuance in his remarks about the shutdown I am missing.
I didn't have any luck.
First of all, the press releases from his exploratory committee don't have any contact information on them. Maybe that alone should disqualify him for office, sending out press releases without contact information.
I also left a message on his home phone in Greenwich. I didn't hear back.
In Googling around to try to find Foley, I did come across a listing indicating his 125-foot motor yacht, named Odalisque, after the female slave in a Turkish harem (I know, I know) is for sale for $5.9 million.
I emailed the broker, who wrote back and said he is in dialogue with the owner, who may take the yacht off the market.
Maybe that is part of Foley's exploratory process: He's thinking about spending more time on the yacht and giving up on another expensive run for governor.
I had hoped, too, that maybe some of the other possible Republican candidates for Connecticut governor might be counted in the reasonable GOP camp, like the Republican House members who would reopen the government without demanding changes to a health care program that is already the law of the land.
Alas, no.
I couldn't reach state Sen. Toni Boucher of Wilton, who also has an exploratory committee. But she told another newspaper this week, while complaining about the health care act, that we've had shutdowns before and they haven't been that bad.
So she's off my list.
Exploratory candidate Mark Boughton, mayor of Danbury, politely returned my call and explained that he thinks there's blame to go around both parties in Washington. But he said linking negotiations about the health care act to a government shutdown is OK with him.
"It's how sausage is made," he said.
He's off my list, too.
I came away from a long and spirited chat with declared gubernatorial candidate John McKinney of Fairfield, state Senate minority leader, impressed that he is a thoughtful candidate who was also willing to lay blame for the shutdown on both parties.
In the end, though, he seems to side with Boughton on the sausage-making theory. I could not get him to condemn the strategy of linking a government shutdown with demands to change the health care law.
This is classic pre-primary politics: reach to the extremes of your party, then hustle back to the center before the general election.
This time I think it may backfire, since moderate voters might remember for a long time the paychecks missed here in Connecticut and the economic harm done by the people who brought us the shutdown and debt ceiling jitters of 2013.
This is the opinion of David Collins.
