July 30, 2011: She's Got the Power: A Girl Group Extravaganza live from Lincoln Center with Ronnie Spector, La La Brooks (of the Crystals), Arlene Smith (of the Chantels) and many more. With Rex, Dave the Spazz, Gaylord Fields and Debbie D.
This five-hour-long stage spectacular, from 5pm to 10pm, is a roll call of girl group greats: Ronnie Spector, La La Brooks (of the Crystals), Arlene Smith (of the Chantels), Barbara Harris (of the Toys), Margaret Ross (of the Cookies), Maxine Brown, Brenda Reid and Lillian Walker Moss (of the Exciters), Peggy Santiglia Davison and Jiggs Sirico (of the Angels), Beverly Warren (of the Raindrops), Nanette Licori (of the Delrons), Baby Washington and Toni Wine.
The festivities are hosted by WFMU boss jocks Rex, Dave the Spazz, Debbie D. and Gaylord Fields -- they'll be the ones in the matching gold blazers -- beginning at 1pm with a live broadcast of Rex's Fool's Paradise program. The radio proceedings continue with tunes and interviews, cranking up the anticipation till the ladies strut their stuff onstage at the 5 o'clock hour.

Sun. 8/7/11 1:39am
Was at this show and it was phenomenal. As Dave above asked, why were Lesley Gore and Ronnie Spector left out of Ellie Greenwich tribute? | |
Sun. 8/7/11 4:52pm
Actually, Lesley Gore and Ronnie Spector were left out. Period. Either it was their wish or there was some kind of contractual issue. Too bad since they were both superb. WFMU, would you explain? | |
Mon. 8/8/11 12:56am
Unfortunately we were unable to secure a release from Ronnie Spector for more than one song. We tried to get an OK to broadcast Lesley Gore's set with no success. We really wanted to but ultimately we honored their wishes. | |

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Robert Shields and Lorene Yarnell, a popular husband & wife mime team from San Francisco played the Clinkers.
TRIVIA NOTE: On the reunion TV-movie WILD WILD WEST REVISITED (1979) Shield and Yarnell played a couple of black-leather clad robots called Estonia and Alan. They were created by Michelito Loveless (Paul Williams), the son of deceased criminal genius Dr. Miquelito Loveless (Michael Dunn). Michelito called the robots his $600 people (actually $609.00) because that's what it cost to build them. These robots and an army of Loveless' clones forced secret agents James West (Robert Conrad) and Artemus Gordon (Ross Martin) out of retirement to prevent villain Michelito from cloning President Cleveland and other world leaders and taking over the world.

If I had it to do over I wouldn't buy these because my roof rack has a round crossbar, but I couldn't find what I needed so I settled hoping they'd work, and they do in the sense they provide cushioning, but they rather annoyingly spin around the crossbar. My bad.

Apple WWDC 2009
Jun 8, 2009, 8:29 AM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Liveblog and in-depth coverage from Apple's annual developer event, where new iPhone info is expected.
AD article continues below...
Phone Scoop is live on the scene at Apple's WWDC in San Francisco this year. There are sure to be iPhone-related announcements today, possibly including new iPhone models.
We'll be liveblogging the keynote (connection permitting... these things do tend to push wireless networks to their limits.) Check back at 1pm eastern / 10am pacific for the start of our live coverage. You can follow the liveblog on the next page. We also plan to take live photos, which will appear on the "Live Photos" page.
Key parts of our liveblog will be mirrored on Twitter as well. Follow @phonescoop to keep track of today's big iPhone news that way.
Enough of AT&T...
Will someone please clarify if you can use the new or old iphone as a modem for your laptop? I have searched the forum and I am confused about the responses. Right now I use my AT&T 8925 as a modem. I hook the usb cable to the computer, go to internet sharing and I am able to get online. Thank you for your help.
Anyone notice the applications graph???
A perfect phone??
Obviously a better camera, flash and an SD card slot, removeable battery... are those necessary though?
Apple really seems to be stepping it up, honestly, is this not as close to a perfect phone as were going to get?
Still hoping for a new model today!
Other things I would like to see:
TETHERING (3Gs will have it, but not in US)
FM Transmitter...
The Best Part is...
the rest was a mix of 'about time', 'interesting but ok', and 'that's apps but what about the phone'. hmmm, i guess i'll wait to see the in depth coverage before i pass judgement.
no AT&T listed (as mentioned in the tethering section)??? elaborate please.
but dang... that price is pretty sweet, but was hoping for more mind blowing feature set info.
***Crosses fingers***
Anyone here hoping for something to be thrown T-mobile USA's way???

However, now it seems Jennifer Lopez may take the role. So far she's only signed on to produce, but the rumored plan is to drop the incognito geography lessons and turn the film into a vehicle for J.Lo. Deadline reports:AdvertisementThe hope is to turn the property into National Treasure meets The Thomas Crown Affair. The logline: When the ACME agency's greatest detective Carmen Sandiego becomes the world's greatest thief, it's up to her former partner to follow her clues and track her down. Their cat-and-mouse game leads the partner to confront a greater mystery: Is Carmen really a thief or a hero?They probably won't even let Rockapella sing the theme song.

PM cosies up to mummy bloggers
PM gears up to use gender issues to maximum advantage in the coming election year.
PM gears up to use gender issues to maximum advantage in the coming election year. JULIA Gillard will host about 25 ''mummy'' and other bloggers who write on the internet for women at Kirribilli House, as she gears up to use gender issues to maximum advantage in the coming election year.These sites reach about 2.5 million people. Similar sites were important in US President Barack Obama's successful appeal to female voters in his re-election campaign this year.The Monday function follows Ms Gillard's previous morning tea with mummy bloggers in June, and comes after Labor strategists increasingly have seen gender working for Ms Gillard and against Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, especially since the PM's ''misogyny'' speech in October, which received international coverage.The November Nielsen poll again highlighted that Ms Gillard does much better among women than among men.Labor's primary vote was 34 per cent, but 36 per cent among women and 31 per cent among men. The PM's approval rating among women was 52 per cent, and only 43 per cent with men. On preferred PM, she was favoured by 54 per cent of women to 47 per cent of men.Mr Abbott, in contrast, had an approval rating of only 31 per cent among women, compared with 40 per cent among men; just 38 per cent of women, but 45 per cent of men, preferred him as PM.Next year's campaign will have centre stage several issues with particular resonance among women, including education, childcare, disability insurance and parental leave, on which Mr Abbott is offering a highly generous scheme.The gender question has also become entwined with the character issue in Labor's attacks on Mr Abbott, so is likely to be more important at this election than in 2010.Among the news sites represented at the prime ministerial drinks will be Fairfax's EssentialBaby, the largest online parenting site in the country; iVillage, for which Mamamia, created by Mia Freedman has the local licence from the US site; Women's Agenda, created by Crikey journalist Angela Priestley; Kidspot, a News Ltd site that aims to simplify parenting and offer mothers a place to talk to each other; and the Fairfax site Daily Life.Among others invited are Eden Riley whose blog was named by the Sydney Writers' Centre as Australia's best blog for 2012; the mother of four boys, one with special needs, who writes allconsuming .com.au; Mrs Woog, named in the top 50 Kidspot Australian bloggers for 2011; Nicole Avery, whose site gives tips for organising the chaos of family life; and the writer of My Mummy Daze, who deals with juggling motherhood and a family business.As the political year winds down, Ms Gillard will go on leave from this weekend, while Mr Abbott will visit London where he will address his old Oxford college, Queen's, on Friday; he is expected to stress the advantage of students doing some studying abroad. Next week he and several other Liberals will attend the Australia-Israel-UK leadership dialogue in London.He will meet Foreign Secretary William Hague and London lord mayor Boris Johnson.

Several months after their drama sensation Boys Before Flowers ended, (most of) the cast members — Kim Bum, Lee Min-ho, and Gu Hye-sun — reconvened to cheer on their former castmate Kim Hyun-joong at a concert for his pop group SS501. (The fourth F4 member, Kim Joon, was unable to attend as he is currently performing in his musical theater debut.)
The August 1 concert was held in Seoul and kicked off the "SS501 1st Asia Tour Concert in Seoul, Persona."
This isn't the first post-drama reunion for these actors; they have shown their support for each other at various events: Lee Min-ho's first fanmeeting and birthday party was attended by Kim Hyun-joong and Kim Joon), Gu Hye-sun's art exhibition visited by Lee Min-ho and Kim Joon, and Kim Hyun-joong also appeared in the MV for Kim Joon's solo single.
The members of SS501 perform in full Michael Jackson regalia at the concert:

Denver Broncos vice president of player personnel John Elway let the cat out of the bag two weeks ago that left tackle Ryan Clady would draw the franchise tag by the March 4 deadline.
The Broncos made the transaction official on Friday, a source apprised of the move tells NFL.com's Albert Breer. The non-exclusive franchise tag will ensure a $9.828 million salary for Clady in 2013.
Bouncing back from a disappointing 2011 season, Clady allowed just one sack in 2012 while playing through a shoulder injury that required post-season surgery.
According to ProFootballTalk, the Broncos have had no contract discussions with his representatives. Clady's shoulder rehab is expected to last five to six months, which means there is a good bet he won't healthy by the July deadline for franchised players to sign long-term deals.
Although Clady does not have designs on setting the market at left tackle, he is targeting a deal somewhere between Joe Thomas' eight-year, $92 million contract and Jason Peters' six-year, $60.657 million pact. More likely, he will play out the season under the tag.

And the winner is…
December 24th, 2009I asked you to help me pick which special whisky to open on Christmas eve by voting for your choice of three different whiskies, each bottled more than 20 years ago. Thank you for all your help.
Well, it's 10:20pm on Christmas Eve. The rest of my family is working their way upstairs to bed. I tallied your votes, and the winner is…
It was a tie! Both the Caol Ila and Ledaig got 25 votes, with Dallas Dhu getting 14. So, after all this, I still must make a deciding vote. (It's too late and I am too tired to open up two bottles.)
I chose the Ledaig, for the simple reason that the level of the whisky is at the lower part of the neck, and I don't want it to get down to the shoulder.
I'm glad I did. It's still in good shape, and it's a very delicious whisky. No fancy tasting notes right now, but let me say it's very smoky, peaty, leafy, and briny, with a lovely sweetness to match…an old-fashioned island whisky.
Let me thank my friends at Gordon & MacPhail for nurturing and bottling this whisky many years ago. And, as I sit here sipping end enjoying it, I toast all of you and wish you a Very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the best to you in the New Year.
I will now do the right thing, and share it with my whisky-loving friends over the next week or so.
17 Responses to "And the winner is…"
And a Merry Christmas to you, as well! May the whole week hold confirmations of such fine decision making!
HP 18 raised for you and all here this night!
Enjoy the winding down John……cheers
John, there's a fellow here in western Massachusetts named George Lenker who writes a weekly beer column for the Springfield paper. I think you'll like this week's:
John, Merry X-mas from The Netherlands.
I did the inquisitive thing and opened the HP Earl Magnus.
A nice whisky, not the three salto's with a twist kind of whisky, but just right. -
Merry Christmas!
I enjoyed a bit of Weller 12 last night and contemplated things…
and I concur….the best whiskey is the one thats in front of us!
Wishes of a prosperous new year to all of us!
Great choice, John. Merry Christmas.
My 'buds were a bit off last night so I opted for The mild Glenrothes Special Reserve — just right.
Cheers to all, and best wishes for a healthy New Year.
Great choice – sounds very yummy. I ended up having a glass of tawny port last night and looking at the Christmas tree. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays everyone and I wish all of you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
While you were tasting the Ledaig I was tasting the PC-7 – Merry Christmas Everyone – With 12 inches of snow on the ground and another 8 inches forecast by 6 am tomorrow here in Omaha I will be sampling more of my stock then I planned 🙂
I'm glad that was the one you opened & it sounds very nice. I'm jealous– the best thing I had access to was Rhum Barabancourt white (not that it's not very nice for a white rum).
Are there an currently available bottles of Ledaig that go over as well as this one?
Cheers!I had some 1972 Ledaig and they were excellent so good dramming!
It's been a privilege to be involved in your decision-making process, John.
I am enjoying my Talisker and Brora, both 20 y.o.(I like the Talisker slightly better). Sláinte Mhaith to you and everyone here and a Happy New Year to us all! -
All good whiskies to share. Hope it's well enjoyed.
Nice pick indeed. For the first time in many years I was sitting aorund a table with my 4 college roommates and some new friends – Scott's Selection Caol Ila 1984, Ardbeg 10, Tobermory 10, Glenlivet 15, Laphroaig 10 & McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt (a nice surprise there). As always, the whisky tastes even better when shared – Happy Holidays and best wishes for a prosperous New Year!
Hope it was as good as advertised John. Happy Holidays.
[…] help me pick which rare whisky to open up on Christmas Eve on this blog posting. And, as I posted here on Christmas Eve, the bottle I opened, as decided by you, was the 1973 vintage, 16 year old […]

Hey, if high-output V6 engines are good enough for the Camaro and Mustang, they must be good enough for the Porsche Panamera, right? Wrong. For 2010, the Panamera will get a putative poor-people option — a tweaked version of the Cayenne's direct-injection 3.6-liter V6 making 300 HP and 294 lb-ft of torque packaged with Porsche's PDK double clutch automatic. Only the PDK double clutch auto. In two-wheel-drive form it'll return 30.4 MPG and in the Panamera 4 with all-wheel drive expect 29.4 MPG (25 MPG in a combined Euro cycle). For those keeping track, and to point out how insane Porsche is for building a V6-engined version of the Panamera — and thus destroying the only positive of the large-rear-end four-door Porsche, here's how the Panamera breaks down against the latest crop of American pony-car V6s. Porsche claims a curb weight of 3,814 lbs including a 66 lb reduction from the engine alone, but the total figure isn't specifically tied to the two- or all-wheel-drive model. Considering it's a Porsche, we're a bit disappointed with the output on this mill. Advertisement Advertisement Let's face the facts — given the Panamera V6 starts at $74,900 and the V8-engined S starts a touch under $90,000 — what kind of person buys the V6? It's not like there's a slew of sorta-rich folks out there who want to look like they can drive a $90K car but only have $75K to spend. Is Porsche now building cars for the Jersey-bound wife of the one I-banker who didn't get a bonus this year? Wait, don't answer that. It'll just make us cry.Reply174 repliesLeave a reply

Journal Journal: Subject
Your post is a tedious, homogenised, chameleon-esque scribble which amounts to nothing more than the demented cacophonous racket of a drugged lunatic banging loudly on kitchen pots and pans. Rumor has it that you are almost incomprehensible in person (as revealed by your desperate urge to babble nonsensically on message boards.) No doubt, this rumor is true.
If brains were gasoline, you wouldn't have enough to drive an ant's Go-cart around the inside of a bottle cap. Wouldn't clues have more room to fit in your head if you got rid of some of the gobbledygook in there? You've got a big hole in your head, now shut it. When you are at a loss for words, your loss is our gain. You bring to mind a quote from Josh Billing: "Doesn't know much, but leads the league in nostril hair."
You are about as entertaining as watching grass grow in a windowbox. What do you do for a living? You are living, aren't you? Do yourself and everyone else a favor: take a fatal overdose of your medication. Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you weren't living proof that stupid people should not breed; if your weren't so fat that all the restaurants in town have signs that say: "Maximum Occupancy: 80 Patrons OR You.", or if you didn't have a face that makes your dentist treat you by mail-order. Who am I kidding? You would.
You're a message board freak. I know it's hard to accept the truth, but the truth it is, and accept it, you must.

a} YOU! I know, it's cliche, but truly, I am thankful that you take the time to read my blog. I know my blog is nothing special, but it's something that I enjoy. And while I love getting to write posts based on whatever floats my little boat, I really like that I get to "meet" people because of my blog, through the commenting and conversations. I really like that you take the time to leave comments. Also, I really like getting to visit your blogs, and read your posts and leave you comments. It's all pretty awesome. So thanks for being a part of it!
b} SUNSHINY days. We've had a few days of nice weather this last week and it has been ahh-mazing. I'm not a winter person at all, and have been waiting anxiously for Spring since November.
c} my sweet husband. He's always willing to go out of his way to do the little things. Earlier this week, I was craving diet coke like you wouldn't believe, and he ran to the store at 8:40 at night to get me some. Totally unnecessary, but very sweet.
d} Coupons and great deals. Since I'm a stay at home mom, and not earning any money, I make it my job to try and save money on the things we do buy. It's definitely beneficial for our finances, but I think it's pretty fun too :) I love when I can combine a good sale price AND a coupon and get my groceries for super cheap. Dillons prints the percent you save on your receipt too and I always check to see how well I did. I've had a few 70+ % savings and I love it!
e} Books. As I've shared on here before, I really do love to read. I can spend hours reading. And I love all different kinds of books. But I'm thrilled that my kiddo loves to read too. You cannot force a child to like reading (believe me, I was a teacher!) but you can expose them to reading and good books, and help cultivate a joy for reading. And thankfully, Kaylee enjoys it. Her school had their Scholastic book fair this week, and while we walked away with $38 less than what we started with, it's money well spent if you ask me.
I'd love if you join in and share a few things you're thankful for!
It's easy to get caught up in the negatives, so I think it's good to take a minute and focus on the positives...and hopefully you'll feel a little bit better afterwards.
You can see some of the other things that I've been thankful for here or here.

ALAMOSA—The No. 8 ranked Alamosa Mean Moose had an explosive second half as they stunned the No. 2 ranked Pagosa Springs Pirates 45-35 on Friday night here in front of a packed gym at Alamosa High School.
These rankings are based upon Colorado Preps and Denver Post, CHSAA's official rankings.
Pagosa Springs, who would have slid into the No. 1 spot with a win because No. 1 ranked Kent Denver was defeated by Shining Mountain on Tuesday, are now sitting in second place in the Intermountain League with an 11-2 overall record and a 2-1 conference record.
According to the MaxPrep's and Freeman basketball rankings, the Pirates were ranked No. 1 in Class 3A, and it did include Monday's Kent Denver loss.
The Mean Moose, who now hold a 9-game winning streak, are sitting atop the league with an 11-3 overall record and a perfect 3-0 IML record.
"It's a win that we had circled on the board from day one, after last season they beat us three times and we thought we were a better team than what we showed last year," said Alamosa Head Coach Brandon Brubacher. "For us to come out and get the first league win against them was big."
Alamosa used 18 free throw attempts in the second half including 14 in the fourth quarter, to help them defeat the Pirates. The Moose outscored Pagosa Springs 28-17 in the second half with 15 of those points being free throws. The Moose built up a 7-point lead and despite their efforts, the Pirates could not break through and make the gap any closer.
Junior Ryan Martinez scored a team high 13 points on the day, all coming in the second half, including hitting 6-of-8 free throws.
"They were critical, you know you always have to hit free throws, sometimes you don't always shoot your best in the first half," said Martinez after the contest. "Usually we are a good shooting team in the second half when it comes to free throws"
One of the main things that helped the Mean Moose get the win was the ability to hold senior Kain Lucero, who entered the game averaging 21.1 points per game including 28 points and six 3-pointers when the Pirates defeated Centauri 64-39 on January 19th, to just seven points. His previous season-low was 12 points.
An aggressive, man-to-man defense, led by senior Samuel Bilderbeck helped keep a lid on Lucero's shooting attempts.
"We have some athletic kids; we have some young kids that are aggressive. Sam really took it upon himself and wanted that challenge," explained Brubacher. "He did a really good job. He's an explosive athlete, a state champion trackster and his length and explosiveness were able to keep him contained."
In the opening quarter, Alamosa capitalized on two 3-pointers, one from sophomore Cody Garcia and one from senior Zach Meyer, to help them take a 10-9 lead after the first. In the second quarter, Pagosa Springs used four points from senior Dean Hampton to help them out score Alamosa 9-7 to take an 18-17 lead into the break.
As a team, the Pirates hit 13-of-32 (40.6 percent) from the field including 1-of-8 (12.5 percent) from beyond the arch. They were only able to hit 8-of-17 (47.1 percent) of their free throws and nab 27 rebounds. They balanced that out with 19 turnovers and 23 personal fouls.
Zachariah Griego was the Pirate's leading scorer with 10 points while Dean Hampton was behind Lucero with six points. Garek Erskine scored four points. Griego was the team's rebounding leader with seven.
Alamosa hit 13-of-34 (38.2 percent) of their field goal attempts, including 4-of-11 (36.4 percent) from 3-point land. They shot a strong 78.9 percent (15-of-19) from the charity stripe while also collecting 27 rebounds. They committed 21 turnovers and 17 personal fouls on the night.
Behind Martinez's 13 points was sophomore Cody Garcia with eight. Sophomore Ethan Caton and Bilderbeck each scored six points while Bailey Garcia and Zach Meyer each scored five. Josh Cody added two points.
Meyer did lead the team with eight rebounds on the night.
"All the way around our depth was stronger, we had stronger players coming off the bench," said Brubacher. "Even though we are young, we have some good players and that's good news for us now and hopefully in the future."
The Moose will be back in IML action tomorrow when they travel to Bayfield. The Pirates will host the Pirates of Monte Vista on Saturday night.
"Their win-loss record is not pretty," said Brubacher of Saturday's opponent. "Most of their losses are all by less than 10 points. They compete in every game, even though they are having a tough time winning them. Last year we went over there expecting to beat them and they beat us. We know that feeling. We talked about it a little bit this week, hopefully we will screw our heads on right for it."
No. 6 Pagosa Springs bests Alamosa
The girls' game was a closer game than expected in the early going as the Mean Moose stepped up their defense, however, the Pirates played a dominate second half and won the game 49-32.
Alamosa was the first team to score in the game as freshman Brooke Trujillo found herself under the bucket for a score with just over five minutes remaining in the opening quarter. The intense man-to-man Moose defense held the Pirates without a bucket for three and a half minutes before sophomore Payton Shahan broke the scoreboard with a bucket of her own.
The Moose did not stop their pressure as they once again kept the Pirates from scoring until the 1:20 point of the first quarter when junior Anissa Lucero scored 3-pointer and junior Taylor Strohecker hit a jumper of her own to close out the first quarter with a 7-2 lead.
After allowing four points by Pagosa Springs to open the second quarter, Alamosa, led by Trujillo, went on a 6-0 run to close the gap to 11-8. Strohecker countered by scoring eight of the team's 16 second quarter points to help them take a 23-10 halftime lead.
Senior Blake Faucett's four points in the third quarter could not help the Alamosa offset an additional eight points by Strohecker as the Pirates outscored Alamosa 15-5 in the quarter and they led 38-15 entering the final quarter.
The Moose offense came alive in the fourth quarter as four different players got involved in the scoring including juniors Marissa Manzanares and Nicole Broyles, who each scored six in the period. The Moose did outscore Pagosa Springs 17-11 in the quarter.
In the game, Alamosa made 12-of-40 (30 percent) of their shots from the field while hitting 8-of-13 (61.5 percent) of their free throw attempts. They were able to corral 35 rebounds but they committed 18 personal fouls and 25 turnovers.
Broyles and Manzanares were the team scoring leaders with eight points each while both Trujillo and Faucett scored six points each. Tolley wrapped up the scoring with four points.
Broyles led the team in rebounds with nine while also making three strong blocks.
For the Pirates, Strohecker led all scorers with 20 points while Shahan scored 10 points. Junior Emily Bryant was the scored eight points, while Lucero scored six. Freshman Madison Lewis rounded out the scorers with five points.
As a team, Pagosa Springs connected on 20-of-26 (55.6 percent) of their shots from the field while they hit 7-of-16 (43.8 percent) from the free throw line. The had 22 turnovers and committed 14 personal fouls while collecting 23 rebounds.
Alamosa, who fell to 5-9 overall and 1-2 in the Intermountain League will only have 18 hours to rest as they will be in Bayfield to take on the Wolverines on Saturday.
The Pirates improved to 11-2 overall and 2-1 in the IML. They will be back in action on Saturday when they return home to host a game for the first time in six weeks. They will host the Monte Vista Pirates, who were idle on Friday night.

He took the punch really well. I would have been on the ground writhing around in pain.
BTW, why can't people turn their cameras the right way when they shoot video?

Awesomeness pours from the pages...

OK. This book is really awesome. I am 13 years old and I usually don't read books that often but had to for the summer reading program at my local library. While browsing the books, I came across the interesting title, "I am the Cheese" and I was just like "ok then...good for you!" I chose to check it out anyway. The book starts with a kid riding down the road on a bike. I thought this was a good way to start a book, because it just jumps right in instead of describing the setting for twenty pages and then actually starting the story. As I read on, I found it to be a little slow towards the middle of the book. I mean, you can ride a bike! great job! You forgot to take your medicine today! That's too bad! Just stop complaining about it, will you?? We get it. I also thought that the fact that he had so many fears was slowing the book down. In a specific passage, he is riding down a huge hill, going like twenty miles an hour! Then, a dog is in the middle of the road in front of him. What's the logical thing to do? Go around the dog, of course. But no, he has to slow down directly in the path of the dog. I mean, who does that? At that point, I was just like, "I will give a million dollars to the person who can figure out the point of this book." I was about to just forget about this book. If you feel this way in the middle of the book, DO NOT PUT IT DOWN! It is a really great book. Anyway, after the few slow parts, the book really gets fantastic. It isn't a book that you can read half of and skim through the rest, like some books out there. You really have to read and think about every single thing the author says in the book to understand what happens in the end. The ending really shocked me, but of course after reading the "content guidelines" for this site, I cannot share it. It is a somewhat confusing ending, and I had to read the last few chapters several times to really understand it. Even though this is a very complex book that you may have to read twice to figure out, I highly recommend it to people as young as twelve or even really smart eleven year-olds. If you chose to read this book, which is not terribly long (about 230 pages), you will not be sorry at all.

The LRA has institutionalized physical and psychological violence, including killings, rape and other forms of torture. The effect on civilians is to breed fear and force acquiescence; the consequence of being found to have informed the authorities about LRA activity is simple and brutal. However, the violence is not just directed "outwards" at the civilian population or captured UPDF soldiers. It is also used in a calculated and deliberate way to enforce discipline within the LRA itself. The abuses described below are a fundamental method of organization aimed at the destruction of individual will and morality. It begins with forcible abduction to be a soldier or porter.
An army that feeds on children
Without abducted children the LRA would have few soldiers. Since 1994 child abduction has become the main method of recruitment. According to World Vision Uganda, which since March 1995 has provided psycho-social counselling for over 3,000 former LRA soldiers, approximately 47% were aged between 11 and 16 when taken. A further 36% were between 17 and 22 years old. Approximately 30% of abducted people seen by World Vision have been female; of these 54% have been aged between 11 and 16.(12)
Abducted children embark on a journey in hell. Abduction is itself an act of violence, ripping terrified children from the security of their families. It is often accompanied by killings, rape and severe beatings. B., a 14-year-old girl, was abducted in February 1997:
R., a 45-year-old woman, described what happened when her children were taken from Paicho near Gulu in 1996:
"Mother, get out of the hut and let the boy show us the way" by A.
O.J., 15 years old, was abducted from a village south of Gulu in November 1996:

Why a child needs a critical eye, and why the art classroom is central in developing it
Knight, Linda M (2010) Why a child needs a critical eye, and why the art classroom is central in developing it. International Journal of Art & Design Education, 29(3), pp. 236-243.
It is a common acceptance that contemporary schoolchildren live in a world that is intensely visual and commercially motivated, where what is imagined and what is experienced intermingle. Because of this, contemporary education should encourage a child to make reference to, and connection with their 'out-of-school' life. The core critical underpinnings of curriculum based arts appreciation and theory hinge on educators and students taking a historical look at the ways artists have engaged with, and made comment upon, their contemporary societies. My article uses this premise to argue for the need to persist with pushing for critique of/through the visual, that it be delivered as an active process via the arts classroom rather than as visual literacy, here regarded as a more passive process for interpreting and understanding visual material. The article asserts that visual arts lessons are best placed to provide fully students with such critique because they help students to develop a 'critical eye', an interpretive lens often used by artists to view, analyse and independently navigate and respond to contemporary society.

text: Grading Madden's Preseason PredictionsOwen Good2/07/10 6:30pmFiled to: Super Bowl XLIVMadden nfl 10Super BowlEA SportsMaddenFootballOriginalTop641EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink EA Sports is mighty proud that its Madden NFL simulation has correctly predicted the Super Bowl winner all but one time since it's run the promotion. But how did its predictions for the season, made back in August, turn out? To recap: On Aug. 4, a full month before the first regular-season kickoff, EA announced the division winners, playoff teams, MVP and all-Pro selections returned by a simulation using Madden NFL 10. Granted, this was before the preseason even kicked off - before Brett Favre announced his return to Minnesota, which absolutely changed the NFC dynamic. Still, let's grade how they did. Advertisement Advertisement The Madden sim accurately named just three of eight divisional winners and one of four wild card participants. Overall, it did get seven of the 12 playoff participants. And none of its playoff team predictions finished worse than .500. Given how the year started for the Titans and Panthers and how it ended for the Steelers and Giants, that's actually pretty good.EA Sports said the AFC division winners would be New England, Pittsburgh, Tennessee and San Diego. Only New England and San Diego panned out. EA Sports said the NFC division winners would be Philadelphia, Arizona, Atlanta and Chicago. Just Arizona won its division, although Philadelphia made the postseason as a wildcard.For the wildcard teams, EA said Indianapolis and Baltimore would get bids in the AFC. Both did visit the playoffs, but Indianapolis won its division with a 13-3 record. In the NFC, the Madden simulation said New York and Carolina would make the playoffs. Neither did; both finished 8-8. Sponsored That means the Madden simulation's division winners' combined, real-life records were six games worse compared with the records of real life division winners in the AFC (42-24 to 47-17). They were 7 1/2 games worse in the NFC (39-27 to 45-18).Now, for the individual honors. The variables at work here make picking even a majority of actual NFL All-Pro first team selections a real longshot. But Madden only got three out of 25 right - Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson, 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, and Browns kick returner Josh Cribbs. None of the awards Madden picked - MVP, Offensive Players and Rookies of the Year, Coach of the Year, etc. - came true. What does this tell us? Dunno. The game's on. But it's one thing to simulate one game between two teams of 50 players and make five correct predictions in six years. Quite another to simulate a few hundred football games and thousands of events and come up with anything close to reality. It's probably an unreasonable expectation, especially considering how the rosters vary over the season.So with that, enjoy Super Bowl XLIV, and feel free to talk about it in the comments here. Advertisement And, apropos of nothing, on Friday Luke and I were talking about Rules We'd Like to See Added to the NFL. Being that he's an Australian who enjoys American football, he's got a pretty smart perspective on this sort of thing. I said I wanted to see a rule where a punting team that catches its own punt on the fly is awarded a free kick from placement on the spot it is caught - similar to the mark in Aussie rules. Luke pointed out the total destruction awaiting anyone attempting such a catch, and a fair-catch rule in such an instance would almost defeat the point. It would increase scoring and make the kicking game more relevant, however.Luke instead said he'd like to see a penalty rule similar to rugby, in that for certain infractions (say, 10 yards or more) the ball is kicked across the sideline in the direction of the offending team's territory and where it goes out of bounds is where play resumes. While pass interference (fresh set of downs, and a spot-of-the-foul placement) is the closest U.S. football comes to this, I like Luke's idea better for adjudicating the game's harsher penalties.Reply64 repliesLeave a reply

Entyvio Approved for Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease
Two chronic gastrointestinal diseases
TUESDAY, May 20, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Entyvio (vedolizumab) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat adults with moderate-to-severe forms of two gastrointestinal conditions -- ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
The approval applies to people for whom standard therapies -- such as corticosteroids or tumor necrosis factor-blocking medications -- have failed.
Ulcerative colitis, affecting about 620,000 Americans, causes inflammation and ulcers in the large intestine. This can lead to abdominal discomfort, bleeding and diarrhea, the FDA said in a news release.
Crohn's causes inflammation and irritation of any part of the gastrointestinal tract. More than 500,000 Americans have been diagnosed with Crohn's, the FDA said.
The most common side effects of Entyvio include headache, joint pain, nausea and fever. More serious adverse reactions observed during clinical testing included serious infection and allergy-like (hypersensitivity) reaction.
Though no clinical trial participants contracted a rare, often-fatal nervous system infection called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), the FDA said Entyvio users should be monitored for neurological signs of PML.
Entyvio is marketed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals America, based in Deerfield, Ill.

The FDA has more about this approval.

So I'm new to this forum. I'm a computer engineer and I love looking at the built in amplifier ICs in mobile phones. I came across a teardown of the new Motorola X and saw it has a NXP TFA9890 High Efficiency Class-D Audio Amplifier with "adaptive sound" and Qualcomm WCD9310 Audio Codec. "It can deliver 7.2 W peak output power into an 8 Ω speaker at a supply voltage of 3.6 V. The internal boost converter raises the supply voltage to 9.5 V, providing ample headroom for major improvements in sound quality." This is the first mobile phone amp with a DC-to-DC boosted 9.5V supply voltage.
I was just wondering what people thought of the Motorola X's built in amplifier compared to the iPhone 5 (Cirrus CS35L19 class-D audio amplifier with Apple 338S1077 Cirrus audio codec), Galaxy IV, or HTC one/x because I was planning on buying one of these phones to use as a source without DAC. Thanks guys!

It sounds almost like it is just timing out. When you start the composite logger, it waits for the firmware to tell TS that a page is ready to read, the firmware sends that signal when the data page is full. If TS never gets the green light after 10 or 15 seconds it times out and reads what ever is there.
Is the engine running? Are you sure there should be good log data?

Hemophilia and Inherited Bleeding Disorders |
Hemophilia11/20/2007 |
If a person does not have much money and can`t afford all the standard treatment for hemophilia, what is their life expectancy?
The following is taken directly from the "Frequently Asked Questions" about hemophilia on the World Federation of Hemophilia Website:
"What is the life expectancy of someone with hemophilia?
The life expectancy of someone with hemophilia varies depending on whether they receive proper treatment. Without adequate treatment, many people with hemophilia die before they reach adulthood. However, with proper treatment, life expectancy for people with hemophilia is about 10 years less than that of males without hemophilia, and children can look forward to a normal life expectancy."1

Eight out of ten Americans consider it stealing to walk out of a store with a DVD that they did not pay for. Only half as many people think downloading illegal mobile movies from the internet is a crime. The fact is that there is really no difference at all between the two. These are both serious crimes that are punishable by law.
When you download mobile movies from a P2p program, you do not have the permission of the individual or corporation who owns the rights to that movie. This is the same thing as going to the DVD/movie store and putting a DVD in your bag and walking out the door without paying. Peer-to-peer networks like BearShare, Kazaa , Vuze (aka Bittorrent) and LimeWire do not have the consent of the rightful owner to distribute copyrighted movie download files over the Internet, unlike legal sites such as Imovies Club , CinemaNow and Netflix.
Why Is P2P File Sharing Of Movie Downloads Illegal?
The main purpose of copyrighting materials and DVD movies is for the protection of the rights of the individual or corporation initially responsible of creation of the material (in our case movies). Those who own the rights to protected material have the exclusive right to modify, duplicate or distribute their product. Copyright laws work to prevent the sale or use of the protected material through unauthorized means and this includes rights to mobile movies.
Imagine working day in and day out on an amazing project for years, only to have it posted online for everyone to access mp4 movies for download totally free.This is how artists and entertainers feel when their intellectual property is passed out for free all over the internet, providing them no compensation for it. Now, you are beginning to see what is driving so many in the direction of legal action for movie download sites.

A Bridge to the Center of the Cosmos
Frithjof Schuon writes of two key ideas, that of the origin and that of the center: "In the spatial world where we live, every value is related in some way to a sacred Center, which is the place where Heaven has touched the earth; in every human world there is a place where God has manifested Himself in order to pour forth His grace.
"And it is the same for the Origin, which is the quasi-timeless moment when Heaven was near and things were still half-celestial..."
For those of you who are familiar with my book, the nonsensuous uberchore at the beginning was my attempt to describe the badda bing-badda bang of the Origin, while the nonsense at the end was my attempt to describe the journey to the Center, where heaven and earth meet once again in the muddle of the mount, right back at the Origin. Hallow, noumena!
Most of our waking life is spent outside the Center and Origin, although one of the purposes of the spiritual life is to spend as much timelessness there as as possible. Outside the vertical world of Center and Origin, we pass our days in the horizontal categories of space and time that flow from them. But in the spiritual view, time takes on a special, eschatological meaning, as it relates to the perfection that leads to theosis--both individually and cosmically. In other words, timelessness takes time, and as some Beat up old poet once said, "walking on water wasn't built in a day."
To be situated in space is to be situated in a cosmology, even if it is a very boring and stilted cosmology that is not worthy of humans, such as materialism. A legitimate religious cosmology serves the function of providing the human being with all the tools he needs to discern his existential situation and to do something about it--not on his own, mind you, but with the assistance of the grace which flows through it. Religion is supposed to provide you with a vertical cosmology that helps you know your way around the interior of the cosmos. Science, on the other hand, deals only with the exterior aspect of the cosmos--its outer tier, or epidermis, so to speak.
Through grace, we may surpass ourselves and therefore become ourselves. We may realize our highest destiny, which is not found in the things of this world, but back at the vertical Center and Origin, now further enriched and transformed by our presence, which it is our duty to radiate back out horizontally into the world. And so it glows....
Multiculturalism is a pernicious crock in the cosmic egg because, among other reasons, there is no ultimate value in culture per se. Rather, we judge a culture in its vertical aspect in terms of how effective it is in orienting us to our destiny and allowing us to arrive there. There are many cultures that focus on our ultimate destiny--in a charitable mood, one could even say that this is what the contemporary Islamic world attempts to do. However, their various horizontal pathologies prevent anyone from actually achieving their vertical destiny--or at least they had better keep quiet about it if they do stumble upon it, or sufi the consequences.
Other, more dynamic societies such as ours, provide us with all the tools we require to move, to get off the dime and go forward. But forward into what? Here is the nub of the crux of the gist of the rub, my cosmonauts, for if all our wonderful dynamism is not oriented toward the Origin and Center....
Does anyone out there understand what I'm saying, or does it sound like I'm speaking of irrelevant abstractions that do not touch our day-to-day lives, much less the future of our civilization? Can I get a witness? Can I get a hallelujah? Is this thing on?
Naturally, we in the west have our well known metaphysical pathologies of materialitis and reductionosis, effectively barring the gates of heaven and installing man in place of the Creator. As a reaction to this impoverished horizontal cosmolatry, we also have our curiously muddled spiritual pathologies that reverse the cosmic order and elevate the relative to the absolute, e.g., "Nagarjuna is God." This is the way of most spiritually barren new age alternate post-religious magic. You shall know them by their fruit cakes.
It goes without saying that no culture is perfect, just as no relative world of any kind is perfect. "There is none good but the One." Human perfection lies in its proximity to the Perfection of our vertical lighthouse at the end of the historical tunnel. It's a narrow path toward that tunnel, but it is only on that path that the ravages of time are essentially reversed, leading toward perfection rather than mere repetition or degeneration.
The cultural bridge that leads us from the relative to the absolute is badly broken, not just through neglect, but because some vertical errorists in our very midst--most of them terminally tenured--have been actively trying to blow it up for several centuries. It was once a very sturdy bridge that led to many blessings, such as science, democracy, liberty, and the ultimate value of the indvidual. But now, those things are in danger of becoming ends in themselves, thus enclosing us in a linear prison rather than a means of reaching the Center and Origin.
For man does not flourish in the circular world of old-fashioned paleo-paganism or the linear world of contemporary neo-paganism, but only in the open spiral of vertical faith and horizontal reason.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II review
The boy wizard waves his wand one final time but, thanks to this remarkable release, is sure to go out with a bang...
He was the boy that lived; the child that survived an attack from one of the most powerful wizards of all time. However, after seven films, six billion dollars and more deaths than one likes to remember, it all had to come to an end...and what an end it is.
Picking up exactly where its predecessor left off, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) continue in their pursuit or the now infamous horcruxes, the seemingly random – yet ironically sentimental – parts of Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes) soul. As expected, each horcrux leads our trio through unparalleled danger, challenging both their mental and physical capability, before finally revealing itself to a worthy opponent.
As our heroes – and heroine – move closer to destroying the Dark Lord once and for all, they soon begin to realise the true extent of his army. Hogwarts has fallen under Death Eater control (or has it?); the Ministry has suffered at the hands of blind-sighted leadership and internal betrayal, and now survives as merely a testament to a powerful – and deceptive – revolution; and The Order of the Phoenix, those who stood against Voldemort and his supporters, have suffered severe casualties, thus becoming somewhat redundant. Yet Harry knows he is 'the chosen one' and, as the time passes, becomes fully aware of his rather unfortunate fate, one intertwined with the Dark Lord as a result of their precarious past. To quote direct, "For neither can live, while the other survives" – tough break.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II is unnervingly brilliant. Its cast has outdone itself; its story runs in perfect alignment to the books of its namesake; and, most importantly, Part II is testament to the brilliance of JK Rowling's novels. However, it is the emotional ties within Part II that carry the film throughout.
The emotive range of all involved is touching, and helps convey the severity of Voldemort's uprising. From start to finish, Deathly Hallows: Part II tugs at the heart-strings, from the obvious – yet beautifully portrayed – pain of Dobby's selfless sacrifice, to the contempt that Harry and, through extension of the films narrative, the audience come to hold towards Voldemort and his 'holier-than thou' pursuit of a pure-blood community. Anger, betrayal, pain, suffering – all emotive states I found myself experiencing thanks to the masterful directing of David Yates, one of only two directors – the other being Chris Columbus – given the opportunity to direct more than one in the record-breaking franchise.
You see, when The Deathly Hallows: Part I was released, it received much criticism for its slow – and often exhausted – scenes. While critics recognised the need for change, a foundational transformation from Harry Potter: Boy wonder into Harry Potter: don't f**k with me, many questioned the decision to extend the final chapter over two releases, stating that this was nothing more than a money-spinning attempt by Warner Bros. to prolong the ever successful franchise. However, hindsight is a wonderful thing – the decision to spread The Deathly Hallows over two films has not only been proven, but should in fact be celebrated. Without it, fans would be lamenting the loss of many a great scene; there is just too much content in the 607-page novel to be translated into just one film. So, with Part I having effectively laid the foundations for his dark and disturbing journey, Part II does exactly what many had predicted...it unleashes an intense, Patronus-based attack on its naysayers, before reaching the climatic peaks that many had expected. Such is the ferocity and intensity of Part II that the audience cannot help but become a little overwhelmed at times.
You cheer with each victory; you mourn every loss; but you enjoy every moment, every hand-crafted scene of British professionalism. Inevitably though, it is the strength of its cast – and the acting presented within – that is its true strength. As Oscar Wilde once said, "theatre (and by extension, cinema) is the greatest of all art forms; the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being", and Part II perfectly highlights this point.
Yet it is the performance of Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) which truly speaks volumes throughout. In previous instalments, Neville was presented as a quivering, uneasy sort of wizard, one with whom mediocrity and awkwardness had become second nature. That said, Lewis' character was instantly relatable – who didn't know someone who, despite their best efforts, never quite clicked with the social clique? – and it was for this reason that Longbottom became a firm favourite. However, in The Deathly Hallows: Part II, Lewis' character has grown up – much to the credit of the actor himself – shedding his overwrought skin and blossoming into one of the films true heroes. His timings are precise, and his emotions are first class (basically the complete opposite of his former persona), and this is subsequently rewarded with an increased airtime. While much credit must go to his director, David Yates – whose loyalty to JK's novels allows for such a transformation to happen – Lewis himself has earned the respect of many a critic to date; and such praise is rightly placed.
Another stand out performance is that of Severus Snape's (Alan Rickman). For those familiar with the novels, it will come as no surprise to say that Part II is rather Snape heavy, but Rickman is more than up to the challenge; his dull tones and monotonic expressions giving us further reason to despise Severus.
But what of the performances of our dynamic trio, I hear you ask? Well, what can be said – Radcliffe is, as ever, convincing as Harry; Watson again combines her innocent image with an unnerving intelligence, thus providing the lynch-pin of our team; and Grint is, well, Weasley through and through. However, no particular performance jumps out at you, and I'd go as far as too say that Potter's whiny characterisation becomes rather tedious at times, but this is more a failing of the character itself than one of Radcliffe's personally. All three roles are pre-determined, allowing for little interpretation or deviation, so our stars merely do the best with what they have. Now that's not to say that their performances are bad – far from it in fact – but they just don't represent significant enough change to be singled out for praise.
What Deathly Hallows: Part II does, to its credit, is to focus more intently on the lives of those around Potter, which results in a deeper appreciation of the story and further connection to their community as a whole. We see a whole new side to Professor McGonagall; are given a true insight into the twisted logic and greed of the Goblin community (in specific Griphook, played brilliantly by Warwick Davis); and begin to understand the conflict of interest for Narcissa and the rest of the Malfoy brood.
Additionally, Part II finally addresses the passion that has been brewing throughout the series. We get passionate embraces between both Ron and Hermione, and Harry and Ginny, yet these are still masked with a sense of innocence, which is sure to bode well with younger viewers. Sure, even Neville is getting in on the action (no pun intented), declaring that he's off to find Luna (Evanna Lynch) during their final battle because: "I'm mad about her! About time I told her, since we're both probably going to be dead by dawn!" Hormones are certainly raging, but Yates does an exceptional job of presenting these within the context of their situation.
As for 3D, I wasn't impressed. Aside from a few nice scenes, such as the attack by Voldemort's snake Nagini on Snape; and the raining visuals of the Dark Lord's ashes - Part II gains little from its addition. Given the choice, I'd suggest sticking to the cheaper, brighter and more enjoyable 2D alternative, but I suppose this will be a personal preference. Either way, don't expect Avatar-esque realism...it's just not on the same level.
Finally, one must applaud the score featured throughout. Alexandre Desplat – whose previous compositions have included The King's Speech and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – has expertly captured the emotions within his music, with a powerful yet submissive score. Each scene is complimented by an appropriate choice of music, helping to rouse feelings and reactions from the audience and, without it, many scenes would feel rather flat.
On the whole, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II is both a fitting conclusion to the franchise and a remarkable piece of cinema. By pushing its 12A rating to their limits, Yates has crafted a beautifully dark – but ultimately enjoyable – experience, one which takes the best of the boy wizard to date, before thrusting him head first into the stark reality of his own existence.
An emotional rollercoaster, the film captures everything we love about the Harry Potter series and some. Part II is as beguiling as its written brethren, and fans worldwide will be delighted with the accuracy of its content. Furthermore, despite its global appeal, Part II manages to keep its esoteric feel thanks to a number of 'in' jokes and humorous anecdotes, and Potter's homely feel is extended through its touching finale, with him waving goodbye to his own child, Albus Severus Potter, some 19 years later.
It's sad to think this is the end but, thanks to the talent, direction and production value of this release, you can be sure of a fond and enjoyable farewell. Now, if you will excuse me, I seem to have something in my eye...

I've been posting my Friday's Fave Five (hosted by Susanne at Living to Tell the Story) over at Reading to Know but I'm going to start posting here instead. It seems more fitting.
Things I'm grateful for this week:
1. That we're all getting over this cold which has lingered for much longer than colds normally do. Last week we were on the run every single day, trying to re-organize life after The Great Smoke Out. (The event has to have a name and it has to be in all caps.) This week we've have some downtime where we've just been able to stay home and rest and so we're beginning to recover. Although it's just stuffy noses, they really become annoying after a bit!
2. The fact that there are no neighbors in the townhouse that we share a wall with. One day there was some construction going on in townhouse connected to us and I was all in a I'm-going-to-HURT-someone-if-they-don't-stop-POUNDING-ON-THE-WALLS-!!!-mood. (They were pounding during naptime. I was ready to walk the baby next door if they woke her up. I confess this so that you don't think my attitude about this new living situation is always good. I miss having four walls that are all my own and no one else's.) However, we've been thankful that no one is living next door for the time being. We can't hear nobody and they can't hear us. Hurray!
3. Bookclub! I love my local bookclub and the fellowship it offers. Bookclub was this past week and we read my favorite Mysterious Benedict Society. Happiness! (No one else in the club had ever read it and so I feel I've done my duty by at least six other people. They all liked it. Of course. You would too. I just know it.)
4. Friends who are willing to babysit when we need to be at the house working with adjusters.
5. Predictably calm and quiet evenings with my husband. And we can still watch Castle! :)
Looking forward to a three day weekend!

Plenty of Power

I had purchased the Bosch 18V Impact drill kit, that came with 2 "fat pack" batteries, over 2 years ago. I am an HVAC contractor and I put that impact drill, and the fat pack batteries to the test. I set tap cons, lag bolts, etc , and I'll tell you what, the drill and batteries never even hiccupped once. I think I would need to charge a battery every other day. I can't believe the longevity on these batteries. NiCad batteries are yesteryear, in comparison to the technology that has arrived with Li-ion. With my old NiCad batteries, if I left them in my work truck over 2 weeks I would have to top them off before heavy use. With these fat pack batteries, if I leave them in my work truck without using them for over 1 month, you can bet I had minimal loss in power. Trust me, I've experienced that already. I was sure the battery would be dead after sitting in my work truck, in the Florida heat over a month. I couldn't believe these batteries barely lost any power. I was impressed and a believer in Li-ion technology. One of my original fat pack batteries failed after over 2 years of HEAVY use, so I had to purchase a new one as a back up. I LOVE the new model with it's fuel gauge. Now I can see how many more tap cons I can set without guessing how much of a charge I have before climbing all the way back up my ladder. The battery gauge sure is a time saver.
Lots of power

I finally upgraded my twenty plus year old 12volt cordless tools. The Bosch 18v batteries seem to last forever in comparison. Very happy I upgraded to the Bosch system. I will be buying more in the future. I have recommended Bosch to many people since my purchase.

How long will this battery (4.0 AH) keep my jobsite radio charged for if I'm listening to music through the AUX port?

Run Life of batteries
By Dean

I used Makita for many years before switching to Bosch. I am very happy with the tools. The tools are very well made but the batteries need improvement. Compared to Makita these 18v batteries don't compare. I can barely rip a 2x4 with fully charged battery and new blade. I am very disappointed!

In comparison to Ni Cad batteries by another brand, the Bosch Fat Pack batteries can't be beat. I'm an HVAC contractor, and I could set hanging straps to red iron easily all day on a full charge. The batteries also charge in 30 minutes, not 45- 60 minutes like other brands. The charger also has a built in fan to help cool the battery down while it's charging, in case it was heavily used and hot. My other brand of batteries (for another cordless drill I have), will not charge until the batteries cool off because of heavy usage. So sometimes my other branded batteries have to just "sit in the shade" for about an hour before I can even ATTEMPT to place them in the charger to charge.

Short Attention Span Theatre
Event Navigation
SHORT ATTENTION SPAN THEATRE is an original, ensemble-written show featuring 30 short plays in 60 minutes. Based on The Neo-Futurists' TOO MUCH LIGHT MAKES THE BABY GO BLIND, these performances will take place on the second and third Saturday nights of nearly every month throughout the 2013-2014 Etcetera season. Each show will be performed in an entirely new order, decided by the audience. Each month will feature new, original material.
Originally created in Fall 2011 at the University of Arizona, this revival of SHORT ATTENTION SPAN THEATRE pushes the boundaries of what a two-minute play can be. SAST involves a mixture of sketch comedy and devised work. The ensemble-written plays may be fiction or non-fiction, realist or abstract, movement-based or focused on spoken text. The only restriction upon the scripts is time. As a result, the show comments on current events, personal experiences, or any other pressing issues that the creators believe are important. SAST's main goal is to explore theatrical expression within a time limit. Rather, we're exploring 30 different theatre experiences within 60 minutes.
