SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Thailand's third-richest man is set to take control of Fraser and Neave Ltd (F&N) in Southeast Asia's biggest-ever acquisition after a group led by an Indonesian tycoon bowed out of a two-month bidding war for the Singapore drinks and property company.
The group led by Stephen Riady's Overseas Union Enterprise Ltd (OVES.SI) threw in the towel on Monday after Thailand's TCC Assets Ltd, headed by billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, raised its takeover offer for F&N (FRNM.SI). At stake is F&N's real estate portfolio worth more than S$8 billion ($6.52 billion) and soft drinks, dairy and publishing businesses.
Charoen currently owns 42.5 percent of F&N, held through TCC Assets and Thai Beverage PCL (TBEV.SI). His S$9.55-a-share offer last week for F&N stock that he does not already own values the Singapore conglomerate at around S$13.75 billion ($11.2 billion). F&N shareholders have until early next month to accept or reject the offer.
"Once its offer becomes unconditional, we are likely to see TCC move to integrate its F&B (food and beverage) operations with F&N's. In addition, it will also look to leverage F&N's regional and global property franchise," said Jit Soon Lim, Nomura's head of equity research for Southeast Asia.
Lim added that Charoen may sell F&N's printing and publishing business, which he estimated to be worth around S$320 million.
Charoen's interest in F&N's assets was first made public when his companies became F&N shareholders in July last year and sought to purchase F&N's stake in Tiger Beer maker Asia Pacific Breweries Ltd. But he lost that battle when F&N sold the stake to Dutch brewing giant Heineken NV (HEIN.AS) for S$5.6 billion in September.
The self-made billionaire, who is a son of a Bangkok street vendor, quickly followed up with a S$8.88-a-share offer for the rest of F&N, with the Singapore group still deemed an attractive asset.
F&N is the leader in the soft drinks markets in Malaysia and Singapore, with a 31.3 percent and 21.4 percent market share, respectively, according to research firm Euromonitor. It also has a 55 percent stake in Myanmar Brewery Ltd, a joint venture that produces Myanmar Beer, the Southeast Asian country's best-selling beer.
Analysts say Charoen is likely to tap F&N's network in Singapore and Malaysia to distribute Chang Beer, brewed by Thai Beverage, as well as spirits, energy drinks and instant coffee. In Thailand, where he already has an edge, Charoen may in turn market F&N's brands.
Charoen, which already has a sprawling property empire under TCC Land, initially bought a 22 percent stake from Singapore's OCBC Group in July at S$8.88 a share. He has forked out around S$5.5 billion to build his stake in F&N to 42.5 percent.
The billionaire will have to cough up around S$7.9 billion for the remaining F&N shares that he does not own, based on his offer price of S$9.55 a share. To finance that, the Thais had previously lined up loans of S$11.8 billion, Reuters Basis Point reported.
On Tuesday, F&N shares fell 2 percent to match Charoen's offer price, while Thai Beverage rose as much as 4.5 percent to a record in Singapore trading. Overseas Union was up more than 2 percent.
Overseas Union said after market close on Monday that it decided not to revise its offer of S$9.08 a share as it would have had to raise the price significantly to gain control of more than 50 percent of the 130-year-old company.
Such a move was no longer attractive after recent measures taken by the Singapore government to cool the city-state's property market, Overseas Union said, adding that it will explore and pursue other acquisitions.
The Singapore government this month imposed a higher stamp duty on foreign buyers, a new levy on sellers of industrial property and a limit on loan sizes. As a percentage of home sales, buying by foreigners in Singapore declined to just over 6 percent last year from 18 percent in 2011, Citigroup said in a report.
F&N's second-biggest shareholder, Kirin Holdings Co Ltd (2503.T), had offered to buy F&N's food and beverage business for S$2.7 billion had the Overseas Union group's bid been successful. The Japanese brewer owns a stake of around 14.8 percent in F&N.
With Charoen in control, he may not cede the F&N business to Kirin, which competes with Chang Beer. Kirin produces beer, wine, soft drinks and dairy products. But analysts do not rule out a strategic partnership between the two.
A Kirin spokeswoman said no decision has been made, when asked about Kirin's plans.
Kirin is looking at a 47 percent profit, or nearly S$700 million, after acquiring its F&N stake for S$6.50 a share from Singapore state investor Temasek Holdings Pvt Ltd TEM.UL in 2010.
Shareholders of F&N have until February 4 to accept or reject Charoen's S$9.55-a-share offer.
F&N's independent financial advisor (IFA) JP Morgan previously said its sum-of-the-parts valuation is S$8.58 to S$11.56 per share.
A F&N spokeswoman said its independent directors will evaluate TCC Assets' revised offer as advised by its IFA and make their recommendations to shareholders in due course.
If Charoen wins, F&N will have to pay a break fee of up to S$50 million to the Overseas Union group.
Charoen, whom Forbes says is worth $6.2 billion, had extended the deadline of his previous offer seven times and the Overseas Union group twice. The multiple extensions have tested the patience of F&N shareholders.
Singapore's securities watchdog, Securities Industry Council, intervened last week by calling an unprecedented auction on Monday to end the protracted takeover battle between the two tycoons.
The auction was triggered because neither bidder declared a final offer by a deadline on Sunday set by the council.
Charoen's advisors are Morgan Stanley, DBS Bank Ltd and United Overseas Bank Ltd. The Overseas Union group was advised by Credit Suisse, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and CIMB. ($1 = 1.2283 Singapore dollars)

With all the hype and grandstanding from those in favor of Senate Bill 273 let me tell you about those who it will affect. The local Ohio recycler is the family man next door. He is the person who pays his taxes, meets ever-increasing government regulations and worries about his business every waking minute. He represents himself and his colleagues and stands by his beliefs, not what he is paid to believe. He is discouraged by abiding by laws for years and feels threatened now because of special interests interfering and changing the laws for no good reason. SB 273 is being pushed through our Legislature because special interest sees a chance to increase its bottom line. The implications for Ohio if this bill passes would have severe and long lasting consequences for our job market and safety.
Elected officials have a duty to vote for what is best for Ohioans, voting for laws that protect the environment, protect our jobs and protect everyone's safety. The bottom line of SB 273 is that it has none of these components, it "brings nothing to the table" it has no net gain for Ohioans other than help the special interests who are pushing it. What should be a simple issue has turned into a circus.

Cornersburg Dairy Queen hosts pumpkin hunt
By EARTHA TERRELL
Rainy weather did little to deter children from participating in Cornersburg Dairy Queen's pumpkin hunt Oct. 27.
"Because of the weather, we had to move inside. We filled big boxes with straw and kids can also decorate their own cupcake pumpkins. It was a fun thing to do for the kids and for us, this is our target market and it's exciting. We don't just cater to children – we also have older people who come to see the children in costume," said store manager Chrissy Smith.
Children, dressed as a variety of elaborate characters, including pirates, tigers, princess and even the Hulk, entered Dairy Queen ready to enjoy delicious treats. Sounds of loud laughter and excitement filled the facility as children dug deep into several boxes for their prizes. They also explored their creative sides while they decorated cupcakes shaped like pumpkins.
While younger participants showed off their costumes, their parents also took the opportunity to have fun as well. Amber Stanley was just happy her daughters were having a good time and meeting new friends.
"It's close to home and it's Dairy Queen so we came to have lunch. It's nice to give the kids something to do and it brings the community together. Kids can also meet other kids from the neighborhood, as well," Stanley said.

How long does it take for a person to love their job? Possibly decades, a new study suggests.
A survey released Thursday morning reports that baby boomers are more satisfied with their jobs and find more meaning in their work than younger people. Some 78% of baby boomers said they had high job satisfaction, compared with 66% of Generation Y workers, according to a survey conducted by PayScale, a compensation data provider, and Millennial Branding, a Gen Y research company.
What gives? The findings, like other similar studies, show that millennial workers are struggling more than boomers did to get on their feet and launch their careers, says Dan Schawbel, founder of Millennial Branding and author of "Promote Yourself," a book offering career advice for younger workers. Millennials were most likely to have had to move back home with their parents after launching their careers, with 28% of Gen Y workers saying they have, compared with just 5% of baby boomers, according to the PayScale survey. Some young workers may be taking part time jobs or positions that don't require a college degree if they need to start paying back student loans, says Schawbel. "They're getting stuck in a lot of jobs," says Schawbel of millennial workers.

Young people entering the job market today generally face fewer options than previous generations did, economists say. Some young workers may be taking part time jobs or positions that don't require a college degree if they need to start paying back student loans, says Schawbel. The unemployment rate for 20- to 24-year-olds was 12.9% in September, almost double the national unemployment rate of 7.2%, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Labor this week. Stagnant wages have also been a major setback for millennials. On average, young workers today don't reach the national median wage until they are 30 years old, up from 26 years old in 1980, according to an analysis of census data by the Georgetown University Center on Education. "The job opportunities available to the young are much weaker than they were for the boomer generation," says Eugene Steuerle, an economist with the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington, D.C., who has written about the income disparities between boomers and younger workers.
Of course, some of the differences in job satisfaction could be due to the fact that older workers have had more time to find a career they like, says Steuerle. Not surprisingly, baby boomers also made more on average than younger workers and are more likely to have higher paying jobs, the study found.
To be sure, boomers were far from immune from suffering during the financial crisis, with many delaying retirement after seeing their nest eggs take a hit. And even if older workers tend to be more satisfied with their jobs when they are working, studies show they can struggle more than younger employees to find a new job after a layoff. Older workers account for a large share of the long-term unemployed, or those searching for work for 27 weeks or more.
Still, many boomers may have actually recovered more quickly from the downturn than their younger counterparts, says Steuerle. People in their 20s and 30s would have been more likely to buy homes during the peak of the housing market while people who purchased their homes before the crisis, or as prices began rising in the 1990s, had larger gains that may have protected them when property values dropped nearly a decade later, says Steuerle. Boomers also tend to have a larger share of their wealth in annuities and stocks — a market that's more than recovered since the crisis — than younger workers.

As the firehouse, located at 59-29 68th St., is approaching its 100-year anniversary in 2014, Maspeth-born Steve Fisher and his sister Maxine are calling on the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) to grant the firehouse landmark status.
"We like it, we like its character and we want to retain it to the extent that we can," Mr. Fisher said. "We feel that this building, that's celebrating its 100th year, warrants landmarking to ensure that there is protection for it to be preserved."
Steve said his biggest fear is the firehouse could one day be shut down due to budget cuts from the city, and petitioning for landmark status is a way to protect the façade of the structure.
"It protects the exterior of the building," Fisher explained. "It might be that the use of the building may change, but I think...there are a lot of people who would be very upset [if] the city sold the building and it was going to be torn down."
Elizabeth de Bourbon, a representative of the LPC, said that while the firehouse was recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as "part of a thematic nomination of NYC firehouses," the building did not meet landmarking standards following a survey conducted on several firehouses throughout the city in 2007.
"The reason the Maspeth firehouse did not rise to the level of an individual landmark is that it lacks architectural distinction," de Burbon explained. "It is similar to a number of other firehouses that were constructed at that time and lacks the features, style and qualities that the firehouses that have been named landmarks possess."
Regarding a 9/11 memorial that was constructed near the firehouse in 2001, landmarks law does not allow for consideration until the site is over 30 years old.
"We considered each one in the context of our criteria for individual landmark designation, not in the context of each other," she said.
The LPC has designated eight firehouses from the 2007 survey as individual landmarks, including one in Forest Hills and one in the Rockaways.
Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley said the building should be recognized for its historic significance.
NYPD Squad 288 and HazMat 1, which also calls the firehouse home now, lost 19 firefighters in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, more than any other firehouse in the city.
"It is important to preserve the building's character for future generations so they know the legacy of service, including all the firefighters that made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11," Crowley said.
The brother and sister plan on presenting their proposal at the next Community Board 5 meeting on September 18.
"We're going to ask Landmarks to revisit this, either the definition of 30-year significance, or whether there is a way around it by the singular nature of the event," Fisher said.

At this year's annual fall conference, Breast Cancer Today: Individual Treatments, Shared Experiences, we're not just providing you with the unique information you seek; we're offering you the chance to connect with others and learn that you're not alone. While being treated for breast cancer, Lynn Folkman went to her first-ever LBBC fall conference in 2009. She blogs about that day and the importance of creating the conference experience you want. Lucky for us, Lynn joined the team at Living Beyond Breast Cancer in 2012 as our Community Engagement Manager.
It was fall 2009 – I had just completed chemotherapy, radiation therapy and was a few months into my year of taking trastuzumab (Herceptin) and I was exhausted. I found out about the LBBC Annual Fall Conference through one of my support groups and the thought of attending alone was too overwhelming for me, so I agreed to attend with a friend I met during treatment.
The conference that year was held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. I was a bit nervous about attending, as I had previously worked at the Convention Center and still knew quite a few people there, and they did not know that I had breast cancer. As well, the tables were turned; I was a meeting planner and instead of producing the event, I was experiencing the conference as an attendee.
I was in an emotionally raw and vulnerable state. I was at the point in my treatment where I often wondered if or when I would ever feel like myself again. I was tired of hearing the comment, "You look really great!" I longed for a day where I could be invisible and no one would know that I had breast cancer. However, I was still mostly bald and there was no masking what I was currently experiencing. I was apprehensive about having to endure glances from people who knew me, which would be mixed with a combination of sympathy and trepidation. They were used to the vivacious energetic Lynn, not the exhausted Lynn. How could I possibly fake it when I did not even have the energy to do so?
A few things occurred that day which continue to deeply comfort my mind and spirit and reinforce the special place in my heart for the LBBC Fall Conference. Since it was my first time attending, I had no idea what to expect. The day began with the opening session, the speaker welcomed the group and then asked people how far out they were from the time of their diagnosis. When your year was called, you were instructed to raise your hand. One year and under, my hand went up. I don't remember the exact breakdown, but it went something like this: 1-5 years, 5-10 years, 10-15 years, more than 15 years and so on. What I do remember is being overwhelmed as I heard cheers and looked around the room and saw so many raised hands and proudly smiling faces. Continue reading

CRESTVIEW � Friday was another night of winning ugly for the Crestview baseball team as the Bulldogs beat Fort Walton Beach 8-5 in District 2-6A play. Three night after capitalizing on five Niceville errors in a 6-3 win, Crestview managed to scrape together eight runs despite managing just three hits.
CRESTVIEW � Friday was another night of winning ugly for the Crestview baseball team as the Bulldogs beat Fort Walton Beach 8-5 in District 2-6A play
Three night after capitalizing on five Niceville errors in a 6-3 win, Crestview managed to scrape together eight runs despite managing just three hits.
"It was an ugly win, but it is a win and we are happy to get it," Crestview coach Tim Gillis said. "I give them a lot of credit for battling back.
"I'm not real happy with the way we finished the game, but ultimately in this league you are happy to get a win."
Walks turned out to be the undoing of Viking starting pitcher Kevin Jones. Jones walked five Crestview batters in a little more than one inning of work and all five of the batters walked came around to score.
By the time Nick Boswell took over Jones with no out in the second inning the Bulldogs were up 4-0 and had the bases loaded.
Jimmy Croussore greeted Boswell with a single to center score Hunter Sullivan and Tate Sweatt. Justin Abdo moved to third on the play and scored as Tyler Henderson delivered a sacrifice fly to right field.
Croussore took third on the sac fly and scored as Dakota Dean grounded out sharply to second base.
The five-run second coupled with a pair of runs the Bulldogs scored in the first turned out to be just enough for Crestview to eek out the win.
Crestview scored an insurance run in the fifth inning as Dean scored from first on a two-out single by Corey Armstrong.
Matt Gillis started the game on the mound for Crestview and gave the Bulldogs four strong innings of one-hit ball to go along with one strike out. Gillis did walk five Viking batters, but was able to work his way out of a couple of jams.
Abdo relieved Gillis in the fifth inning and looked strong in giving up an infield single and striking out a batter in a scoreless inning of work.
But good didn't seem to be good enough for the Bulldogs.
Casey Wehrhahn led off the Viking sixth with a base hit and moved to second on a Joe Guidry sacrifice bunt.
Frazier Shoults reached on an error that moved Wehrhahn to third.
Wehrhahn and Shoults scored on a Darren Hasch triple and Hasch scored on a Abdo wild pitch.
A pair of Bulldog errors came into play again in the seventh inning as the Vikings pushed across a pair of runs off of Trent Zellars, but Zellars worked his way out of a tight spot to strike out Boswell and end the game.
Gillis picked up the win for the Bulldogs and Jones took the loss. Boswell worked six innings in relief and struck out seven Bulldog batters while allowing just two hits.
"We just don't give up," Viking coach Jeremiah Mayville said. "We preach it in the locker room every day. We've got a good group of guys.
"We're young, we've got two seniors. The guy that came in to close it (Boswell) is awesome. He'll play college ball somewhere."

In the 5th inning, Heather Collins hit a three-run homer that bounced off the left field wall and out of the park. It was Collins first home run of the season. Candice McWherter then hit a single to center field to score Jennifer Cannon from second base. Cannon reached second after lacing a double to right center field. Collins was 2-for-3 at the plate and increased her batting average to .357. McWherter was 1-for-2 at the plate and is now batting .296.

I have 11.2 and 11.3 installed side by side on my atom-based NetTop, just for comparisons. The results:
Installed last night, Netbook desktop booted up on my atom based netTop 11 seconds faster than my atom-based win7 netbook! Not alot but it just FELT faster. Nice!
Repositories were quicker (finally) to setup and use, making all my codecs a breeze to pick up and install. No time comparison here, but it was easier than I remember for 11.2. (Non sequitir: On my wireless setup with NDISWrapper on my old klodger HP laptop with wireless Broadcom was great. They wrote a nice command line tool that makes that a breeze now!)
It was nice to have KDevelop4 right there rather than 3.5, and the newer version was still a heck of a lot quicker to load than Aptana RadRails; It also loaded 2-4 seconds faster than 3.5 on 11.2. The integration with KDE4 felt great as well rather than the disjointed KDevelop 3.5 felt on 11.2. Will do some coding tonight to test it a bit more along with Kexi for viewing my Rails databases.
Nice instant recognition of all my hot plugged USB devices, a bit more fluid than 11.2 from the desktop.
I will be loading my .WAVs and converting them to MP3s tonight just to test Amarok. Dolphin is quick and the file previews are actually a bit snappier than in my 11.2 on the same hardware...give a report here if anyone is interested...
Still learning to get comfy with the Netbook mode, but it is FUN! As for plasma, installed my standard plasmoids with NO segfaults. Ditto with downloading themes and wallpapers.
Looking forward to testing LXDE and comparing boot times to the Netbook mode, as well as KMail and Konqueror to see how Akonadi is coming along. Firefox was a bit quicker (subjectively) than on my 11.2 install.
Overall, definitely probably the second best incremental upgrade I have seen (8.2 to 8.3 was my favorite!)
For those who were as frustrated with the KDE4 changeover as I was initally, I believe now is the time to try KDE again; the feature parity is pretty close from a hack/hobbyist developer standpoint.

Corner pumpkin vine svg freebie
I'm trying out a new file share site. I quit posting many svgs because I seemed to have a lot of problems with mediafire (that, and only 1 in about 100 people who downloaded left feedback so I assume there simply isn't the need for the svg files anymore or others didn't like mediafire either). I'm trying out a new one called box, hopefully it will be a little more user friendly-but its free too, so who knows. The file to test it out is a pumpkin in a corner, drawn in inkscape and has a base, two leaves to layer and two pumpkin sections to layer. I love fall :)
File expried, please see sidebar for purchasing file

Nadal tops Ferrer in Mexican Open final
Rafael Nadal surged past top seed and defending champion David
Ferrer 6-0, 6-2 in Saturday's final of the Mexican Open.
Nadal's win was in a powerful performance that showed he has
quickly returned to near his best after a knee injury.
Ferrer was a three-time defending champion and had won 19
straight matches in this event, but he could find no answer to
Nadal, losing to his Spanish compatriot.
Nadal surprised himself with the one-sided victory.
"I did not do anything wrong today, I had a great match, almost
perfect," Nadal said. "I would have never imagined playing at the
level that I played today, I'm leaving happy and surprised.
"I played a great match against one of the top players in the
world, a specialist in clay who did not look like himself out
there, he had a bad day."
The women's final was similarly one-sided with Italy's Sara
Errani beating Carla Suarez-Navarro of Spain 6-0, 6-4.
Nadal missed seven months with a left knee injury before making
his comeback in the Latin American clay court season.
He has played three tournaments: making the final but losing to
Horacio Zeballos in Chile, taking out the Brazil Open by beating
David Nalbandian and cruising past Ferrer for his 38th clay title.
Seven of those 38 have been against Ferrer.
Nadal is ready to test his knee on the more jarring hard-court
surface at the upcoming Indian Wells tournament after an exhibition
appearance at New York's Madison Square Garden.
"Indian Wells is one of my favorite tournaments and I want to
keep competing because the knee is holding up and my heart says
that I can do it, and compete is what I want to do now," Nadal
"Those seven months are in the past, hopefully forever. I
played like that did not happened, but it did happen."
The 11-time major champion broke Ferrer five times in eight
opportunities, winning 58 percent of his return points. He improved
his record against Ferrer to 17-4.
Ferrer had defended titles already this year at Auckland and
Buenos Aires, but was not able to make it four straight Mexican

- Description
- The Jesse G. Dorsey Collection of World War II Correspondence consists of correspondence from 348 service members and their relatives, written to Jesse Dorsey during World War II. Mr. Dorsey was the Director of Recreation and Welfare and editor of the Speedometer newsletter for the Louisville Cement Company. Speed, Indiana, was a company town established for the employees of Louisville Cement. After many company employees and other community residents joined the armed forces, Mr. Dorsey began sending monthly personal letters and copies of the Speedometer to an increasing list that eventually included almost 400 service personnel, including people from the local community and service personnel who had visited local families and been entertained at The Speed Community House. Mr. Dorsey insisted that this collection should be retained by the community. After the Louisville Cement Company's Speed Plant was sold and The Speed Community House closed, Mr. Dorsey's files were donated to the Sellersburg Branch of the Charlestown-Clark County Public Library, where the collection is housed in the Indiana Room.

I had so much more fun than I thought I would have-- I immediately enjoyed the camaraderie with my fellow knitters, and I gave over to complete knitting geekdom. Is it true that there were a lot of women who were wearing knitted things that I most likely wouldn't be caught dead in? Yes, but I have to admit, they were very skillfully knitted, and I appreciate talent in any form.
I signed myself up for two classes and a lecture-- Fair Isle knitting, Continental knitting, and whatever lecture my mom was attending which turned out to be Nicky Epstein talking about her career as a knit work designer.
Fair Isle Knitting was taught by the cutest and most adorable woman-- Mary Jane Mucklestone, who, from what I gathered, travels extensively to the Shetland islands to learn/do/teach fair isle knitting. What's this? I've always loved Scandinavian fair isle knitting, and anything Scottish, and now I realize that the two are basically merged together in the Shetland islands? What a coincidence. If it weren't for my raging American personality, I'd swear that I was born in the wrong country. Maybe I should have been born sewing kilts and knitting fair isle and celtic knots? Or maybe my Scandinavian/Scottish ancestry is more powerful than I thought? I digress, but it is interesting isn't it? That I would come to love these things separately and then realize they are all connected? I mean it's not as if I fell in love with African color weaving or Mongolian clothing, I'm just saying.
Anyway, back to the class-- I loved it, and fell into a rhythm right away. I've always wanted to try fair isle, but I was always so intimidated by all of those colors and intricate patterns. I'm excited to say that I am no longer intimidated and can't wait to give it a try-- in 100% Shetland wool of course. Want to see what I made?
Just a few of the motifs designed by Mary Jane and featured in her new book*
The back side of fair isle
My fair isle sampler/ wrist warmer
I went for a very Scandinavian red/white color combo, and it turned out so well, I think I'll make another to match it. I started at the hand end with a very simple diced pattern, and worked my way up to the flower pattern. It was a little more challenging toward the end, and there were times I lost my way, but I figured it out. One piece of advice was to mark every so often at the end of a pattern repeat so that you can keep yourself on track. Another thing I need to work on is holding the yarn looser on the back so that the work doesn't pucker.
Continental knitting-- this is knitting while holding the yarn in your left hand as opposed to holding it in your right hand and "throwing" the yarn over the needles. I have always wanted to learn this because I have heard that it is faster, and I am a hopelessly slow knitter. Also, it turns out, because you make less movements, your fingers and arms strain less-- total bonus. I loved it, I still need some practice though, and my gauge is much looser, but that's fixable. I've discovered because it is so much looser, I can use it to bind off without getting a tight end. All in all, very helpful. Also, with the fair isle, it's helpful to be able to hold the yarns in various combinations of hands.
Nicky Epstein-- Honestly, I had no idea who she was. In fact, all of the knitters that people were ooh-ing and aah-ing over were people I had never heard of. But, I did enjoy her presentation, she's created some beautiful designs. The main thing I got from her lecture was that designers get their yarn for free, and that is why they can use millions of skeins per project without being aware of what that will cost you the home knitter. And now you know.
There was also a marketplace where you could view and buy the latest in yarn and knitting accessories, this was fun. One interesting idea I'd like to pursue is knitting with silver wire. Must remember that one.
Overall, it was a lovely weekend, and it was over way too soon. I'd like to do the bigger one in NYC someday, anyone want to come with me?
*Mary Jane's new book is called 200 Fair Isle Motifs: A Knitter's Directory, and will be released for sale on Nov. 29th (I was lucky enough to score a copy at the convention thanks to my mother and her keen sense of early-bird-gets-the-worm buying. Also, she had it signed for me since I couldn't be there, and Mary Jane may or may not have called me her best student in the inscription...

Steve, thanks for the link to those 350F caps!
Any idea on the cost and who might carry them?
pcalnon, when you look at the datasheet for the ADXL203, the leads/contacts are the brass-coloured rectangles you can see on the middle picture, right next to the penny. They are all surface-mount devices, so not the easiest thing to work with.
If you can afford it, I highly recommend investing in one of the little Evaluation Boards. You can plug them into any old breadboard and start exploring what they do right away.
Hope this helps!
Hey Steve, if getting the spybotics to drive in a straight line is proving challenging, consider equiping it with a MEMS rate gyro, interfaced via I2C out of a PSoC. The voltage delta out of the gyro is proportional to the turning rate and signed, so it shouldn't be too difficult to do some simple self-calibration and control.
I should have some more time this weekend to continue exploring the PSoC Mini Dev Kit.
Well, I don't think I'm going to make tomorrow's deadline for the contest; a single weekend isn't enough. It's gotten me off to a good start though. It motivated me to power up the MEMS Accelerometer and Gyroscope Eval boards I picked up a while ago.
Ideas and plans are coming together...
Almost completely out of the blue, I received a PSoC Mini Development Kit earlier this week for Cypress' PSoC International Design Contest.
...the deadline for submissions is midnight, March 31, 2004!
I'm going to hide out in the basement over the weekend
and see what I can come up with. Fortunatetly there are
lots of related resources available online:
This is one cool family of chips! An interesting way to add reconfigurable, analog sensors and actuators to your 'bot.
[edited to add link to PSoCDevelopment site]
Been spending the day, on and off, trying to get a Linux distro installed on the X-board. Decided to focus on Debian (network install) and LFS (install to a bootable USB drive on another system).
I found this site which describes the process for adapting an existing system to USB-boot.
The challenge with the X-board is that the onboard 128MB is the primary IDE partition - /dev/hda - and you can install one other IDE device as the slave - /dev/hda. The bios supports booting from /dev/hda, /dev/hdb (HD or CDROM), USB (mass storage), or network. No second IDE channel for /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd devices. I have a regular IDE DVD-ROM drive and one of those external USB HD cases. I can boot off an HD in the USB case, but stock-Linux installs "forget" that they're running off USB; the DVD-ROM isn't recognized as being a bootable device, so it has to be in the /dev/hdb IDE device mode to be usable.
So now I'm going to try the LFS route onto a bootable USB IDE drive, then use that to build a more compact install into the onboard /dev/hda 128MB flash.
Now if I could just find a source for the 200-pin SODIMM connectors to built a 'bot around this board...
What if, one were to wire up the tracking motor controls on a Quickcam Orbit to drive a robot platform.?. In Windows mode, the automatic face tracking becomes automatic person tracking. :-) The Linux driver supports the pan/tilt capabilities, but I don't expect the pan/tilt is hardware-based, but that's reasonably easy to overcome in software.
Received the P.A.M. samples yesterday. Will start playing with them over the weekend.
These Polymeric Artificial Muscles by Environmental Robots are way too cool! They are actuators that double as sensors and/or vice versa.

Paul's letter to Timothy contains warm encouragement for members of God's family. But he also delivers somber warnings about what to expect as members of the Household of Faith. Listen as Paul describes The Approaching Apostasy on Truth For Life with Alistair Begg!
Household of Faith, Volume 1For many, the Church is merely a gathering of people participating in religious activities. But the Bible makes clear that what God desires is a relationship with His children. When individuals grasp the immensity of God's grace and respond in faith, they are born again by His Spirit and are incorporated into the Household of Faith. In this series, Alistair Begg explores the first five chapters of 1Timothy, noting how keen Paul was to ensure that Timothy fulfilled his duties with moral integrity and Biblical authority. Recognizing that godly leadership was vital for the progress of the Church, Paul warned Timothy of false teachers and provided instructions for the proper conduct of God's people in God's household. When Christians have a proper sense of God and refuse to compromise, our lives will reflect Him, our service will glorify Him, our worship will please Him, and generations to come will be grounded in His Truth.
Household of Faith, Volume 2Since the early days of Christianity, false teachers have sought to water down the Gospel and use it for their own glory and financial gain. While money and wealth are not necessarily evil, they can become idols, distracting our focus from God, granting a false sense of security, and inclining us to the appeal of false teaching. In Volume 2 of the Household of Faith series, Alistair Begg completes the study of 1 Timothy, addressing the various responsibilities and risks of church leadership. He notes that great care and wisdom must be exercised in the choosing of leaders because they can either establish a pattern of spiritual maturity in the congregation or contribute to the downfall of the church. Central to the preservation of the Church is the necessity to maintain the purity of the Gospel and pass it on to future generations. Christian maturity and contentment come as we trust God's providence and provision, understanding that it is by God's grace and enabling that we enter into the Household of Faith.

Mumbai: Businessman Ness Wadia, who has been accused of molestation and abuse by his former girlfriend and Bollywood actress Preity Zinta in a police complaint, today said he was shocked by the allegations and termed them as "false and baseless".
The 39-year-old actress filed the police complaint last night alleging that she was molested by Wadia (44) inside Wankhede stadium on May 30, police sources at Marine Drive Police station said.
On May 30, an IPL match between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings was played in Wankhede stadium.
"I am shocked at the complaint and the allegations made against me are totally false and baseless," Wadia said in a statement.
His statement came after it came to light that the 39-year-old actress, who jointly owns Kings XI Punjab IPL cricket team with Wadia, has filed a police complaint against Wadia alleging that he molested, abused and threatened her inside Wankhede stadium in south Mumbai.
Zinta filed the police complaint on Thursday night at Marine Drive Police station alleging that she was molested by Wadia (44) inside Wankhede stadium on May 30.
On that day, an IPL match between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings was played in the stadium.
She gave a written complaint following which an FIR was registered against Wadia under IPC sections 354 (Assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) and 509 (Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), according to police station officials.
The actress and the businessman had broken their five-year-long relationship sometime back.
Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria today said "offence has been registered. We are trying to collect evidence like the statements of those involved an and CCTV footage"

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Alex Harris scored 21 points, Chris Devine added 16 and UC Santa Barbara forced 24 turnovers, as the Gauchos defeated visiting Cal Poly on Thursday night, 60-47.
UCSB (18-6 overall, 7-4 in the Big West), which also had a season-high 16 steals, limited the Mustangs (9-14 overall, 4-7 in the Big West) to 34.8% shooting.
"Our defensive energy was good tonight," said Gaucho head coach Bob Williams. "We kind of got into a rhythm on that end and I thought it really made them uncomfortable. It was our goal to pressure Trae (Clark), because playing without Chaz (Thomas) really limited them."
Cal Poly played without Thomas who had a sprained ankle. For their part, the Gauchos played without reserve guard D.J. Posley who was suffering with the flu.
The Mustangs led off-and-on for much of the first half, taking their final lead, 23-21, on a short jumper by Charles Anderson with 3:09 to play. UCSB ended the half on an 8-2 run, including a lay-up by Harris as time ran out. The play began when Jordan Weiner stole the ball from Clark with just over three second left and fed Harris for the basket and the 31-25 lead.
The Gauchos exploded out of the gates in the second half with an 11-1 run over the first seven minutes, taking a commanding 42-26 edge. Several of the baskets early in the second half came inside the paint with Devine and Justin Joyner each making short jumpers, and Harris scoring on a lay-up.
The lead ballooned to 20, 58-38, when Harris made a pair of free throws with 5:25 to play. UCSB scored just two more points, a baseline jumper by Beau Gibb with 1:04 to play, but the lead never dropped below 13.
Clark paced Cal Poly with 14 points while Lorenzo Keeler added eight. Titus Shelton scored just five points, but had a game-high nine rebounds as the Mustangs won the battle of the boards by a whopping 39-22 margin.
Joyner added eight points and three steals for UCSB. Devine and Harris each paced the way with four rebounds. Ivan Elliott, who finished with just two points and one rebound, had team-highs of four steals and four assists. James Powell and Weiner also had three steals apiece.
The Gauchos return to action on Saturday night when they travel to UC Davis for a 7:00 p.m. game against the Aggies.

My kids used to watch it (I saw several episodes also in my xian days, usually while noddinf off). It was actually witty at times, ignoring the obvious BS... I doubt I could sit through it now. The original creators sold out or went bankrupt (some long story there) and its latest iterations may have changed some from when I saw it.Actually, it took some abuse from the religious crowds for being too subtle in its approach. It rarely talked about jeezus and salvation (never hell or punishment), like the fundies would prefer - and concentrated more on the watered-down version of bible tales. It was more of a god is a swell guy, be nice to each other approach. Like I said, it may have changed, but several years ago it was pretty light.

The original creators sold out or went bankrupt (some long story there) and its latest iterations may have changed some from when I saw it.
I watched a lot of Veggie Tales back in my religious days and I agree that it did have it's times where it was pretty funny although I think it was usually the Silly Songs. The Cebu Song, His Cheeseburger, and Where Is My Hairbrush? I can remember being amusing. My kids have some coloring books and story books that have the Veggie Tales in them but I don't think they've ever shown any interest in them.
Veggie tales is mostly harmless, especially if the parent isn't portraying it as anything more than fiction, just like Teletubbies or The Wiggles, or any of the other shows for young kids. It did tend to encourage good behavior, often actual good (kindness and honesty), not only the purely religious sort of "good" (praying and commitment to God and such), though it did include some of that. And, as others have pointed out, it was actually pretty witty. My daughter used to watch it when she was little. No harm done. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Yeah...luckily my kids were grown enough when these first came out to be able to watch them more with the intent of poking fun than being influenced. There was one which we acquired somewhere along the line (don't recall how) which my daughter & I used to watch now and again just for giggles. It was about Jonah and the whale, and had some catchy songs in it. My daughter would have been about 11 at the time, and it was actually a good learning tool to show how ridiculous it was for adults to take this sort of story seriously, as it turned out.
We live in a society that is thoroughly saturated with religious indoctrination. You can't protect or prepare your children for that by hiding it from them, and you're unlikely to succeed at it if you try. That stuff about God providing courage, direction and comfort? They're going to hear that whether you let them watch Veggie Tales or not. Better to have it out in the open and put it in the same category as Santa Clause. Something that makes a nice fantasy, but isn't real even though they may encounter some who believe it.
Is that on Netflix? Now that I don't waste time praying every day, I could catch up on a few back episodes, although I do spend a fair amount of time basting the roasting babies in the double broiler...

Filed under: Audio/Video, Computers, Google, WebWalking the entire 1,200 mile length of Britain is no easy feat, but using Google Street View to "travel" the same stretch of land is just plain boring. Matthew Partridge, however, has embarked on this adventure, going pixel by pixel from Land's End to John O'Groats in ten days. Honestly, we'd rather go the actual distance than stare at a screen for 240 hours, but, hey, at least the bright line in the middle of the road will keep him from getting lost. Let's just hope he doesn't veer off his set path, because we're pretty sure the onscreen farmer off to the side of the road won't be able to get him back to the highway. [From: The Sun, via: Gizmodo]

Brad Zulick, 29, of Butler Township, who died in March 2016, was one of 74 people in Butler County who died from an overdose in 2016.
His addiction and subsequent death left friends and family members walking a long road back from heartache.
"Every day is still different," said Kelly Zulick, Brad's sister. "(I'm) able to function, but there's still days where you just cry, and it's hard to get through the day."
Brad's mother, Sue Zulick-Check, talked about her son's life, his struggles with addiction and how she's coped with the loss:
Brad's family stays active almost a year and a half after his death.
Zulick-Check relies on her faith in God to get her through hard times. She takes comfort knowing that Brad also had faith.
"I believe he's in a better place," she said.
A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.

Just moved from Ubuntu to Lubuntu using
on yesterday and so far I like it. Less CPU fan, same usability, and same programs available. Although so far I've only installed Firefox.
I'd suggest users who left Firefox more than 6 months ago in favor of Chrome that retry Firefox now. It has received many sensible optimizations at different levels since then: more UI speed, less disk load time, less memory usage, more resistance against problematic extensions, etc.

Central Ohio still is in the throes of an extended influenza season, with more people being hospitalized after contracting the illness.
Central Ohio still is in the throes of an extended influenza season, with more people being hospitalized after contracting the illness.
Columbus Public Health reports that as of Dec. 29, 257 people were admitted to local hospitals with flu-like symptoms, up from just five the previous year.
The highest in recent years was in the 2010-11 season, with 450 admissions, attributed in part to the H1N1 virus.
"What is concerning about this is that if you're hospitalized for influenza, obviously you're having serious complications and those can be life-threatening," said Jose Rodriguez, spokesman for the health agency.
And the worst could be yet to come because the peak of the flu season usually begins at the end of January. Local health officials continue to stress infection control: vaccinations, washing your hands, staying home when sick and covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing.
"The vaccine is a good match for the illness that we're seeing," Rodriguez said.
However, it is not 100-percent effective, although it can minimize symptoms for those who are infected, he said.
There are plenty of vaccines available and at inexpensive prices, he said. And anyone over the age of 6 months should get it, not only to protect themselves but others, said Dr. Julie Mangino, professor in infectious diseases at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
"One of things that's important to know and why it's so important to get the vaccine through March 3, is that potentially by getting the flu shot, you may prevent severe disease," Mangino said. "We still have to worry about the elderly, the pregnant, the immune-compromised."
Many states, including Ohio, experienced an earlier-than-normal flu season this year, she said.
"I would say normally the biggest month for admission to the hospital nationally is January and we've seen a good number of increases in December," Mangino said. "And I would say that is what's most different."
Aside from popular myth, people cannot get the flu from the shot, she said.
"Some people get a headache, some get a mild temperature elevation and some get a sore arm," she said. "And those are all signs that the vaccine is taking effect."

An alarming chain of abuses by the Obama administration have come to light over the past couple weeks: heavily editing Benghazi talking points to spread a false narrative, targeting organizations for its political beliefs through the Internal Revenue Service, and spying on the media.
An alarming chain of abuses by the Obama administration have come to light over the past couple weeks: heavily editing Benghazi talking points to spread a false narrative, targeting organizations for its political beliefs through the Internal Revenue Service, and spying on the media.
The consistent chorus coming from President Barack Obama and his White House is that they were not aware. Is that possible?
In the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's hearing on Benghazi, witnesses from the State Department testified under oath that they reported a terrorist attack, not a protest. The top official on the ground in Libya following U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens' death, Gregory Hicks, said of hearing U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice blame the event on a YouTube video, "I was stunned. My jaw dropped." Mainstream media outlets later reported that the administration's Benghazi talking points were revised 12 times, removing references to terror.
Meanwhile, the IRS publicly apologized this week for targeting conservative groups based on their political beliefs. When asked about the issue, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said President Obama found out about the scandal on the news. Senior IRS officials rushed to blame employees in Cincinnati before officials in Washington were also linked to the activities.
Only a couple days later, America learned that the Justice Department had secretly obtained phone records of reporters and editors at The Associated Press. Once again, the official statement from the White House said the president was not aware of the Justice Department's actions, while Attorney General Eric Holder recused himself from the investigation.
Even if President Obama is telling the truth when he says he did not know about any of these abuses as they happened, though that seems unlikely, it still raises concerns as to why the president was not aware. Isn't this his administration, after all?
The House is committed to finding the truth and defending the fundamental rights of the American people. On the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, I will be actively involved in investigating each of these troubling events.
We have reached a point where we can no longer suspend our disbelief. The American people deserve the truth.
If President Obama's administration believes it can continue to mislead without consequence, all of our nation's fundamental freedoms are in jeopardy. I will continue to work closely with my House colleagues to pursue the real story behind each of these incidents and hold the administration accountable for disregarding the rights upon which our nation was built.
U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows represents North Carolina's 11th District and serves on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
