Author has written 27 stories for Charmed, Stargate: SG-1, Rurouni Kenshin, Stargate: Atlantis, Magnificent Seven, NCIS, Dead Zone, Sentinel, Danny Phantom, Avatar: Last Airbender, and White Collar. I first signed up for this account so I could get emails, since I like that better than sending messages through the website. I really had no intending of actually posting anything. If you want to read my Sentinel and Quantum Leap stuff, check out my website, but I decided that this place would be good for sharing a couple fics in fandoms I don't normally write in, so they have no spot on my webpage. Just wanted to add a note about my Favorite Stories. I only put finished stories in there, since I don't like getting surprised by WIP. Weird Crossover ideas: Not sure where else I could share this, so I figured here might be good. If anybody writes one of these, let me know, I'd like to read it. Stargate Atlantis/Numb3rs: Charlie eps - math genius/John Sheppard - hidden math genius (and that slash in the middle does NOT mean anything.) X-men: Evolution/Magnificent seven: Nightcrawler with mother Mystic (and Ezra thought his mom was bad) Rurouni Kenshin/Incredibles: Just had this image of the monster robot at the end of the movie and Kenshin jumping out and calmly slashing it in two. Stargate Atlantis/Magnificent Seven (and yes I know there's a Magnificent seven AU in Stargate, but this would be a cross with the original show) Vin - incredible tracker/Ronon - incredible tracker (and yet again, the slash means nothing) CSI (the original)/Rurouni Kenshin: If, somehow, Kenshin were in modern day Las Vegas, you just know he'd stop some crime or other and can you imagine Grissom coming upon the aftermath. "Yes, Jim, that machine gun was sliced in half by a sword." Weird Science/SGA: This one's just plain weird SGA/Star Trek: This is not so much a crossover with Star Trek as the stealing of a world from a Star Trek book and plopping it in the Pegasus galaxy with a stargate. There are two things that entered my mind when I thought of this crossover; A: McKay has called Sheppard Kirk and mentioned his way with women a couple times. B: McKay likes cats. Now the world I propose stealing is Sivao from the TOS book Uhura's Song. In that book there's no indication that one of the cat like people who live on the world would be interested in a human, but I just had the idea of McKay getting the 'girl' for once SGA/NCIS: Not sure how this would happen, but was just reading a fanfic that mentioned Gibbs' rules, specifically the one about always carrying a knife, and immediately thought of Ronon. I got this picture in my head of him being searched by NCIS, specifically Gibbs, and the pile of knives that would produce. No idea why he would be on earth or in custody of NCIS, but it would be fun :P SGA/The Emperor's New Groove: Not really a crossover as much as an observation. While watching the movie yet again, I had the sudden thought that Kuzco was a lot like McKay, and Pacha like Sheppard. I could also totally see Yzma as a wraith. There has to be stupid ones out there :P And Kronk makes an especially stupid wraith warrior, or wraith worshiper. Not sure where the rest of the SGA crew might fit (Teyla or Weir as Chicha anyone?) in this little AU, but it could be fun. This could work as a crossover too, Sheppard and company step through the gate, meet the wonderful emperor Kuzco, McKay accidentally finds Yzma's lab... There were a lot more potion bottles down there than were used in the movie... SGA/NCIS: I know this has been done a few times here, but none were especially outstanding, and I just had the random thought of how McKay and Abby would get along. Monk/NCIS: Adrian Monk and Nikki Jardine meet, shake hands, and both pull out their wipes . SGA/Rurouni Kenshin: Not sure how you'd get him to Atlantis, but the wraith wouldn't stand a chance. /me enjoys the thought of wraith sliced in two. Sixth Sense (the movie)/Supernatural: One idea, the boys get a warning from their mother. Tuck Everlasting (the Disney movie)/Vathara's Urban Legends universe: Jessie meets the kenshin gumi and finds he's not alone in the long life department. House M.D./Quantum Leap: House fails to diagnose a patient but figures out what went wrong when the autopsy is done. Sam leaps in before the patient's death, gets the cause of it from Al, and then has to convince House, who thinks that all patients lie and are stupid, that he knows what's wrong with himself. Sentinel/Invisible Man: I've had this idea for a long time. Darien has to quicksilver Jim for some reason, and Jim's sentinel sensitivities make him go into quicksilver madness just from the one exposure. Another twist, Jim responds to Blair even while quicksilver mad. Sentinel/House M.D.: You just know that House would be fascinated by Jim's history of drug sensitivities, and can you imagine House and Blair going head to head over Jim's treatment? House M.D./My Name is Earl: Not sure what Earl could have done to House in the past, but it would be hilarious if Earl showed up trying to repay House for something. Bones/Atlantis: The Lost Empire: Was watching the movie today and realized the doctor was named Sweets, maybe he's an ancestor of Dr. Sweets :P I'll let whoever writes the story figure out how one is black and the other is white Dead Zone/Monk: Ok, every time I see Johnny refuse to shake hands with someone, I immediately think of Monk Dead Zone/Stargate: I can just see Johnny getting a vision of a Goa'uld or a wraith. Dead Zone/Psych: Real psychic vs fake psychic, that could be so much fun :P Dead Zone/The Sentinel: Just had the thought that if Johnny were to get a vision off of Blair, that he'd be able to see it too. This one has been written, though not in response to my challenge. Check out Guenwyvar's Divided We Fall Dead Zone/The Pretender: Nothing really specific here, just think that Jarod and Johnny have a lot in common. Dead Zone/Early Edition: I can just see Gary calling up Walt to report something happening to Johnny, and getting believed for once. It would be hilarious. Artemis Fowl/Detective Conan: I can just see those two going up against each other :P Artemis will be in Japan for something, and a murder will happen, and Conan will be there... Stargate Atlantis/NCIS: McKay, McGee, McNickname... Bones/Chuck: 'Chuck vs. the Bones in the Buy More' No idea for a story, just thought the title was cool :P NCIS/M7 ATF: Just had the thought of Maude trying to con DiNozzo Snr while he was trying to con her, and their poor sons getting mixed up in the whole thing. NCIS/M7 ATF: I was thinking of a children's book I liked, where a cowboy was injured and his faithful horse carried him safely home, not letting him fall off even though he was almost unconscious or unconscious (I can't remember which). I liked the idea and was thinking who that could happen to on the shows I like to watch, and for some reason Tony popped into my head. Since the only time we've seen Tony riding was when he went to AZ, I had to come up with why he was injured and riding a horse, so I came up with this plot bunny. Some bad guys kidnap Tony and for some reason take him to the wilderness outside Denver. Tony is injured but manages to escape. While running away from the bad guys and trying to figure out where he is and get help, he ends up on the 'back forty' of Chris' ranch. That same day Vin had saddled Peso for a ride, but Peso had been feeling ornery so had jumped out of the paddock and ran off into the woods with his saddle on. Tony finds him, and Peso, being the smart horse he is, isn't his usual ornery self and lets Tony get on, then brings him safely back to the ranch. At this point you could wrap it up with Chris calling Gibbs and them all going to catch the bad guys, or you could extend it with Tony having amnesia and them trying to find out where he's from while Gibbs and company is trying to find out where Tony disappeared to and then them eventually getting together to get the bad guys. NCIS/Sentinel: Blair... Tony... Weak lungs... Just thought they might meet and discuss the problems with scarred lungs. White Collar/Sentinel: I've got several ideas for this one, that could be in one story or different ones. First, Jim and Neal trying to spot a forgery; Sentinel vs Art Thief. Second, could Jim spot Neal lying (he would have caught Neal when he cheated on the lie detector, he would have smelled the blood). Third one is just Peter's reaction to Blair, should make him appreciate his own CI . And last, I just have this vision in my head of Jim checking out Neal's anklet, and commenting that he needs one so he can keep track of Blair when he gets kidnapped. White Collar/House: There's one out there about Neal having something wrong with him, but I think it would be way more fun if something was wrong with Mozzie, can you imagine Mozzie and House facing off? It should be hilarious. White Collar/Magic Kaito: Come on, international jewel thief, perfect forgeries, master of disguise, this is just begging for a crossover. White Collar: This one isn't a crossover idea, but I can't help but put it here. The idea comes from two sources, first Neal referring to his painting as doing 'arts and crafts' and then my thoughts as I was making pine cone turkeys for Thanksgiving. Not sure how to make it happen, but I would love to see Neal somehow forced to do real arts and crafts, something like making pine cone turkeys. It would be especially nice if it involved kids, but not sure how that would work. I have a feeling Neal would turn any craft into real art, he couldn't help it :) update: This challenge has been filled with a lovely story by Jackilee called Caught in the Art White Collar/M7:ATF: I've read some wonderful stories that have Neal and Ezra as cousins, but for this story idea they wouldn't be related. Both Neal and Ezra would be sent undercover after the same group, but neither would know the other was law enforcement. Then Ezra would be found out, and of course Neal would want to help him. The twist would be that Ezra, from his FBI days, knows who Neal is, but because of the way he left the FBI, he doesn't know about he subsequent deal Neal made with Peter, so poor Neal has to try and rescue someone who thinks he's a conman thief, all without blowing his own cover or getting either of them killed. White Collar/Stargate: Just had a sudden picture of Neal and Teal'c meeting and liking each other's hats :) White Collar/M7:OW: Weird idea that Neal is the Great Great Great Grandson (I think that's the right number of generations) of Ezra. No idea how this could be made into a story though :) White Collar/M7:Gambler's Heart by Setcheti: My weirdest idea yet, that would need permission from Setcheti to be written. Neal is actually Ezra's son, stolen as a baby and sent through a time rift to Juliet's original time, where he is found and kept by Mrs. Caffrey. Not sure what to do with the idea, but just thought of Neal meeting Juliet's parents, which would actually be his grandparents. White Collar/Marmaduke: just had this picture in my head of Neal trying to break into Marmaduke's house and being confronted by him White Collar/Dukes of Hazzard: Not sure how you'd get them there, but Peter would be appalled by the corrupt government, and you just know Neal would get sucked into a fiasco with Bo and Luke. It would be quite hilarious if Peter got arrested, and Neal had to get him out with help from the Dukes. Imagine Neal's delight and Peter's horror at how often people break out of the jail :) White Collar/Invisible Man: Mozzie and Bobby, two little paranoid men on opposite sides of the law... White Collar/Pretender: I actually think Jared has been an FBI guy before, but it would be hilarious for him to show up in white collar for something, and fool even Neal. White Collar/Stargate: Vala, Neal, very bad, so very bad. [EG] The Incredible Hulk (70's live action)/Pretender: I supposed you'd have to fiddle with timing or David would be a bit old but I think the two of them have a lot in common More crazy plot ideas coming soon (or when I think of them anyway :P) |

Golfer at sunset (Picture BC photo)
While there are several championship courses within a one hour drive of Sun Peaks – the resort also has its own remarkable Graham Cooke designed course.
Sun Peaks Golf Course, built along McGillivray Creek, which winds quietly through a thick pine and spruce, is an 18-hole championship course masterfully integrated into its surrounding wilderness.
This 5808m/6352yd course is well known for the shot making challenges of its front nine and its contrasting back nine, which rewards the long-ball hitter. The course has really two very distinct layouts: The first nine is tightly constructed between the trees and creek, while the back nine has broad fairways in a meadow-like setting.
Read More
Throughout the course, front and back, are spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. At an elevation of 1220m/4000ft, the highest for an 18-hole course in BC, the ball tends to fly long. Sun Peaks Golf Course is opened from early-May to early-October.
Sun Peaks' front nine is a thinking person's game with course management a must. The par-4 opening hole, with a 165m/180yd layup narrowly opening to the green between trees and in front of a hidden creek, provides a preview of what to expect from the front nine. Because of the slope, the ball runs farther, necessitating at least one-club less off the tee.
At the 10th tee box, the entire course opens up and for the first time course management is not as vital to a good score. The par-5 finishing hole offers even a medium length drive the chance to reach it in two shots because the slope forwards the green on the second shot.
Sun Peaks' driving range makes use of the ski run at the foot of the Sunburst chair: Flags are placed at pitching wedge, seven iron, five wood, and driver lengths. Golf carts are included in the green fee, and golf club rentals are available from the well-stocked clubhouse.

Twenty-six year old Leroy Gomez has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. At the end of July Gomez was found guilty of rape and robbery. Justice Adolph Lucas sentenced Gomez to 15 years for each charge however the sentences will run concurrently. The incident occurred between 5:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on August 23, 2011. The complainant, a 27 year old mother of two, testified that she was walking on Administration Drive when Gomez rode up to her on a bicycle and put something to her side that resembled a firearm.

A referendum approving a study of a possible location for a sewage treatment facility in Chelsea shouldn't be interpreted as support for the site, resident and advocate Aden Seaton said.
"I think it's not really a yes or no question, it's a how question," said Seaton, who lives on Mill Road near the proposed location and has organized opposition to the site. "The referendum, in my mind, doesn't really matter."
Residents who will be responsible for the bulk of the cost of the facility were eligible to vote on whether to approve an engineering study to determine whether the location can support it in a referendum Sunday. Out of 94 eligible residents, 50 voted to approve the study and 13 opposed it.
The plant would process sewage from residents in Old Chelsea as well as residents of a proposed development called Centre Village.
Seaton said she didn't encourage residents to vote one way or another and welcomes the study, which she said she believes will show Mill Road is the wrong location. Seaton said the site is too close to residences, endangers an historical neighbourhood and requires the use of a ravine that could be unstable.
"I'm not opposed to a sewage treatment facility. In fact, I think Old Chelsea has a long-established need for a sewage treatment facility," she said. "What they did is they found a location that was not ideal in any respect except that it did not require rezoning. And so they've tried to fit their plans to that location."
Chelsea Mayor Caryl Green said the often-contentious planning process has been much smoother since the creation of an ad hoc advisory committee, which includes representatives from businesses, landowners and city council. The committee has a mandate to study the options and keep residents and council informed of their findings.
"I think it's wonderful that we've had these exchanges through the ad hoc advisory committee. Any way that the council can engage with the citizens on these projects, it certainly has proven to be what helps in the understanding of the big picture," she said.
Green said the council is pleased with the vote to approve the study, which is the next step toward the construction of Centre Village. "We feel this is a clear mandate to go ahead with the initial study for the waste water project for the Centre Village. With 50 to 13, we felt that was a good mandate," she said.
Seaton agreed the advisory committee was a helpful initiative. However, she said she wished the municipality had waited for committee members to present the results of their research in the fall before holding the referendum.
"If they had done it in the autumn, then we would have had the committee's work before us and we also would have had more people, because it wouldn't have been summer. But I think now they have a mandate to move ahead with something and hopefully they'll make the right research and make the right choices," she said.
The authors of the study will present their findings to city council in early 2012. At that point, residents will have an opportunity to call for another referendum on the proposal, which would be open to the same 94 people.
Green said the municipality hopes to open the facility in late 2012 or early 2013.

Cong MPs take on Renuka Chowdhary
The suspended Congress MPs from Telangana region have took on the Rajya Sabha MP, Renuka Chowdhary alleging that she was against the idea of formation of Telangana State. The MPs have said that Renuka never supported the movement. Her recent statements were derogatory to the movement, they added.
The MPs have also said that Renuka not extending support to them when they were staging protest on Parliament premises was unfortunate. It may be recalled that eight MPs were suspended for four days after they went into the speaker's well and raised slogans in support of the cause. They have also displayed placards. When the home minister and the minister of parliamentary affairs tried to calm them, the MPs didn't listen. Upset with the behavior of MPs, the Congress party took the decision of suspending them from the house.
Meanwhile, MPs have also took on BJP and stated that BJP was not keen over formation of separate state. They said it leader of the opposition in the house, Sushma Swaraj pressed the Congress to take the suspension decision.
The BJP is yet to react to these allegations. Did BJP really pressed for suspension of MPs is the question that has become topic of the town. (Phani)

At PwC, we understand that we have a role to play in being part of the solution to global challenges. We have a responsibility to help strengthen trust and integrity within the debate on how to create a more sustainable future for generations to come. We take that responsibility seriously.
In this, our fourth annual Corporate Responsibility Highlights publication, we outline some of our achievements on this journey as well as some challenges we've faced and will face in the future.
Over the past year, we've established a new Corporate Responsibility (CR) strategy globally. We aim to:
In order to achieve these goals, we will continue to focus our efforts on four areas where we can make relevant and significant contributions: responsible business; people, diversity and inclusion; community engagement; and environmental stewardship.
In support of these priorities and during FY2012, we established a new Diversity and Inclusion strategy and appointed a Chief Inclusion Officer at the Canadian firm. We also increased the number of skills-based volunteer experiences through the PwC Canada Foundation to help achieve great community outcomes and impacts, and implemented our new Energy and Carbon reduction strategy which helps guide us in our environmental efforts. To help better understand the impact of our work on the Canadian economy, we also undertook an economic impact analysis that we have included here in this report.
While we achieved many successes, we have more work to do in supporting our employees through greater work/life flexibility initiatives to meet changing workforce expectations. Economic conditions continued to put pressure on our business model and the importance of trust in business continued to dominate the leadership agenda. Together, these challenges reinforced our need for our firm to have a key voice in the global conversation about the value of strong corporate responsibility practices and to lead by example and make a difference in the world around us.
I'm confident that PwC has a strong vision and a clear path as we move along the journey of creating a more sustainable model for future generations. We are excited to share our next steps forward with you.

I purchased this mattress for a guest bedroom. I own a 14 inch mattress that I sleep on every night. I tried this out one night, It is good for a guest room in my opinion. I prefer the thicker one to sleep on every night, I bought the firm, and it is very firm. My back felt good the next morning, so overall I think it is a good buy.
Super affordable memory foam mattress, super thick and very comfortable. My friend bought the medium firmness and after 2 years of use, she still loves it but said next time she'd purchase the firm. Going by her advise, I purchased the firm, and am very pleased. I own a mattress with the built in memory topper, and dislike it intensely Where my husband and I lay are large depressions, and we are not large people. This mattress is far superior at 1/3 the price!!
I bought Queen size, firmed one. It arrived so quickly. It supports the body very well. Overall, it's a great buy, good price and good quality!

What if the keyway in a lock was twisted like a drill bit and the key had to be rotated as you insert it.
The pins would have to be arranged in a radial pattern following the helical path of the keyway so it would be more complicated to build. The key could be double sided and reversible or not.
Picking would be fairly difficult as the keyway design prevents a standard pick from being used.
Drilling would be difficult as there would be up to 6 drill points.
Impressioning i dont know about this one has anybody impressiond a helical key?
Cutting the key would be difficult with standard hardware although a double sided key could be cut in a simple lathe.
The nature of the keyway would block all but the first two pins from being being seen.
Any other thoughts on this lads

Several weeks ago Portland Firefly took a trip to Branson, Missouri to meet up with some friends. There was a total of six of us and we had two time share condos. We stopped at Sam's Club on the way and bought most of our food supplies for the week. I still don't know how we did it, but we all ended up paying about $20 per person for the week for food! That does not include the dinner show that we attended. One of our party won a side of bar-b-que ribs that was outstanding — Yummy!
People who have never been to Branson have asked me what it all about and the best description that I can come up with is this: "Branson is like a Christian Las Vegas in that all of the shows are absolutely Family Friendly and it is surrounded by natural beauty." And that is a Portland Firefly quote!
We attended several shows. We saw 'Noah, the Musical' which was pretty cool because at the beginning of the second act, you are inside the Ark and surrounded by all the animals ~~ some of which are animatronic, some were real, and some were just stuffed! I bought a cute umbrella for my Grandson there!!
One of our favorite shows is the Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede where a dinner is served inside a huge arena while you watch and participate in a horse show. We arrived early so we could walk around and see all of the beautiful horses. One of my friends used to own and ride and train horses, so it was especially enjoyable for me to look at the horses with him and get his observations about the horses. Wow, what a great horse education I received in a very short time!!!
Then we saw The Shoji Tabuchi Show. For many years this show has been touted as one of Branson's best. Portland Firefly was disappointed. I felt that the show was entertaining, but lacked the piazza that it should have had. It was 'tired'. The restrooms at the theatre however are something else. The Women's restroom is absolutely 'over the top' with wisteria-like crystal chandeliers and ornate gold mirrors everywhere. There is even an attendant that will squirt hand lotion on your hands after you dry your hands!
But the best show we saw was the last show we saw. It was The Haygoods show and consists of seven brothers and one sister all of whom are extremely talented. They presented a fast-moving, high-energy polished performance that was enjoyed by the multi-generational audience. And to my delight they presented for the first time ever, their rendition of 'Firefly'.
All in all it was a wonderful week spent with wonderful friends having a wonderful time!!! Truly another trip for my memory book.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a small snippet from my upcoming young adult novel, Ravyn's Fall. My new website, www.julieblackstone.com is nearly done!
I'm so excited for this HEAVEN AND HELL series and the first book Ravyn's Fall. My kid's band has written some original music for this project and I'll post it as soon as I can!
In the meantime here is a snippet!
Ephesians 6:12: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
The child had been swept into the small town of Kings Crossing on the heels of a fantastic thunderstorm, one that had drenched the entire area in torrents of rain, hail,and lightning. Days later, it was referred to as a "hundred year rain," meaning the swollen storm drains, sewers, and rivers were unprecedented.
The residents were grateful no one had been killed. They claimed it was a miracle.
But Hank Creed knew better.
He held the miracle in his arms.
"Keep her safe until I come for her on the night of her birth, seventeen years hence."
He'd been charged with the newborn's protection, and as the other, the one who stood in the shadows, swept up and was away into the angry night sky, Hank made a vow that he would give his very life to do just that.
Sadly, he had no way of knowing his future. No way to know that his fate was shadowed in darkness, one that would bleed into the child he held so tenderly.
One that would eventually tempt her fall.

L'ambassadeur au Cuba au secrétaire d'État aux Affaires extérieures | |
le 8 janvier 1959 |
New Year's Day, 1959, was probably the most memorable New Year's Day for Cuba in this country's history. It marked the fall of a legend, the legend of Batista's invulnerability, and the rise of a new legend, that of the young Cuban guerilla leader who, in two years, starting with a force of a few dozen members, has risen to control a nation of six million people. Although it had become apparent during recent months that Batista's hold on Cuba was slipping, his sud-den departure in the early morning hours of January 1 surprised most residents of Cuba. Many of the exact details of Batista's last hours, the reasons for his sudden decision and the events of January 1 and 2 will probably never be clarified, but the following summary may serve to supplement the spotty reports published by the international press. 2. Fidel Castro has issued his version of the events which forced Batista's flight from Cuba, although this version probably contains some inaccuracies designed to assist Castro in crushing any Batista sympathizers who may hope to retain some influence in the new Government. According to Castro's version, one of the senior army Generals in Havana, General Eulogio A. Cantillo Porras, headed a plot among army officers to swing the army support to Castro. Castro has released the texts of an exchange of letters between General Cantillo and himself, leading up to a meeting in Santiago de Cuba with Cantillo three days before Batista's flight. At this meeting, it was apparently decided that on January 1 Cantillo would announce the army's support for Castro and arrange for the seizure of Batista and all his senior government officials. Castro claims that following his return to Havana, Cantillo notified Castro that the plan would have to be postponed until January 6 and then proceeded to organize his own military junta to seize power in Havana. According to this version, Cantillo warned Batista that the army would seize power on January 1, thus allowing Batista and most of his senior officials to escape from Cuba before the attempted coup. As soon as Batista and his followers had left Havana, Cantillo attempted to set up the Chief Magistrate of the Supreme Court, Dr. Carlos M. Piedra, as the provisional President according to the terms of the 1940 Constitution. This treasonous plot collapsed, according to Castro, because the remainder of Cantillo's junta fled with Batista so that Piedra refused to carry on in the scheme and resigned. 3. Meanwhile, Castro approached the leader of the military garrison in Santiago de Cuba, Colonel José Rego Rubido, with the original scheme as agreed to by Cantillo. Rubido at first refused to lay down arms. Castro then ordered a rebel march on Santiago. However, when news of Piedra's refusal to assume power in Havana was handed to Col. Rubido, he met Castro at the outskirts of Santiago and turned over the complete Santiago garrison peacefully to the Castro forces. As a reward for this gesture, Castro has named Col. Rubido as Chief of the new Cuban Army and has arrested Cantillo, charging him with high treason. It is also worthy of note at this point, that the new Chief of the Cuban Navy, Gaspar Bruch, was the Commanding Officer of a small frigate stationed in Santiago harbour who arranged for the surrender of the naval forces to Castro on January 1. Defection apparently has paid off for both of these former Batista officers. 4. In Havana, news of Batista's flight began to filter out in the early morning hours of January 1. The Havana radio stations confirmed that Batista, most of his Cabinet and 50 or 60 top Government officials had fled the country sometime between 2 and 4 a.m. on January 1. Two notable exceptions were the former head of the Cuban Confederation of Labour, Eusebio Mujal, who is reported to have received asylum in the Argentine Embassy, and the President of the National Bank, Martinez Saenz, who has been arrested. Several other lesser government officials have also succeeded in gaining asylum in one or another of the Latin American Embassies, although the rebel groups have succeeded in seizing many real or suspected Batista supporters or sympathizers. Castro has warned that many heads will fall in revolutionary justice. Recent newspaper reports indicate that more than 1100 police, army and air force personnel plus many civilians are under detention. The rebels have promised military justice for the chief offenders but have indicated that minor officers who acted honourably under orders might be recalled to duty. Apparently at least ten armed forces officers have already been put to death after summary court martials. This does not seem to be too good an omen for fair trials for the others. 5. The public announcement of Batista's departure was the signal in Havana for wild rejoicing, which took the form of racing automobiles, blaring horns, cheering crowds dis-playing the red and black Castro colours and the occasional shot. By noon on January 1 the shots were becoming more than occasional. Mobs of unruly youthful Habaneros entered police and army stations which had been surrendered peacefully, seized all available weapons and began to roam the streets. It was unfortunate that Batista chose the eve of a holiday for his flight, since all workers were, therefore, available to take part in whatever rioting might occur. As soon as it became obvious that the provisional government of Carlos Piedra would not be functioning, the disorganization became complete. In spite of occasional pleas for restraint broadcast by the radio, the wandering mobs became more unruly. They sought out suspected Batista sympathizers, killed several (later reports state that 70 people died in Havana street fighting) and put others to flight, savagely looted the homes of former Cabinet Ministers or government officials (including Batista's daughter's residence), looted the army-supported free import stores and seized most of the Havana radio and TV stations. Havana residents were in more danger from these youthful hoodlums than they ever were from the actual 26th of July troops. Road blocks were thrown up on the major Havana streets and any citizens foolish enough to travel were stopped at almost every intersection and forced to identify themselves. 6. This disorganization continued through the afternoon and night of January 1, on January 2 and during the early hours of January 3. By that time, however, legitimate members of the 26th of July movement, complete with up to two years' growth of hair and beards and colourful guerilla costumes, had arrived in Havana. These troops have by now earned considerable res-pect for their orderly and subdued deportment. They immediately issued orders designed to call in the arms held by wandering mobs, placed a strong curfew on Havana residents for the night of January 3 and gradually brought the city under more or less effective control. Meanwhile, the general strike which Castro had called as soon as he learned of Cantillo's perfidy continued in effect until midnight of January 4. As a result, local city transportation collapsed entirely, shortages of food, milk and drinking water became serious for many unprepared Havana residents; garbage collection facilities ceased to function, and traffic conditions degenerated from Havana's usual bad to worse. 7. During the height of the crisis in Havana, the American and Canadian Embassies made arrangements to evacuate in the neighbourhood of 1700 American and Canadian tourists and students stranded in Havana by the general strike. A separate report to Ottawa outlines the steps taken in this regard (our letter No. L-5 of January 5, 1959).? 8. Castro remained in Santiago de Cuba long enough to swear in his candidate for President, Dr. Manuel Urrutia, 57-year old former Judge of the Santiago District Court, to name his new Cabinet (list sent under our letter No. L-2 of January 6? - in a later report we shall attempt to provide some comments on the more important members of the Cabinet) and to proclaim that Santiago de Cuba would be the new capital seat, although no further action has been taken regarding this announcement. Early news releases regarding the pronouncements made by Castro and Urrutia gave no indication of any plans for an election or any suggestion that the new government would be temporary. However, on January 7 the recently elected Congress was dissolved by presidential decree and all Political Parties abolished; however, a promise was issued that elections would be held within 18 to 24 months (a rather long period for a provisional President to retain power). In the meantime, the new President and his Cabinet will rule Cuba by decree, a procedure which Cubans have become accustomed to during the last two years of the Batista régime. 9. As soon as he had installed his candidate as provisional President, Castro began a triumphal journey by land from Santiago to Havana. This slow journey, obviously designed to cement Castro support throughout the island and to allow the 26th of July troops already in Havana time to solidify their positions has been further slowed by the poor condition of the roads, resulting from Castro's earlier activities, and by two to three-hour Castro speeches in each major centre en route. The Cubans, always quick to hail a conquering hero, are apparently turning out in force to cheer Castro on his journey, and at the time of this writing plans are underway to provide a rousing welcome in Havana for the Castro procession, which has grown with each stop. Some concern has been expressed that Castro is delaying his entry to Havana too long and that the revolutionary unity preceding the victory may not persist long after the victory. An indication of this tendency to split into factions appeared on January 7 when the so-called 13th of March Revolutionary Directorate, the survivors of the University Students' armed attack on the Presidential Palace on March 13, 1957, who had created a second front in Las Villas Province, issued a statement demanding participation in the provisional government for all revolutionary organizations, and a part in drawing up the government's programme and setting the date and form of the general elections. Urrutia made a major speech before the University faction in an obvious attempt to prevent an open split from developing. One of the main dangers, however, for Cuba in the forthcoming weeks will be the great possibility of quarrels among the various factions which form the new group of victors. This will be complicated by the presence in Cuba of ex-President Carlos Prío Socarrá, whose political party has been dissolved, but who will without doubt wish to exert some influence in the future reorganization of the Republic. He was, after all, for some time the only source of funds for Castro's rebels. 9. Since this report was drafted we have learned that the Revolutionary Directorate (univer-sity students) have taken over the third floor of the Amber Motor Building in which we are located and that the front door of this office building is now under 24-hour armed guard and some visitors to the Embassy are being stopped and questioned.

Quick Thoughts On The GETCO – Knight Capital Group Story
- Posted by kid dynamite
- on November 28th, 2012
The headline today is "GETCO offers to buy $KCG for $3.50 per share." There's one major problem with this headline: it's not accurate.
The first thing you need to do if you want to talk about this situation is read the proposal that GETCO made to Knight.
Remember a few months ago when I wrote a post about the Sprint ($S: long) merger with Softbank? This proposal is similar in some ways. Let's go to the details, emphasis mine:
"The Merger would be accomplished through a two-step process that is designed to provide maximum flexibility for your shareholders. The first step would be a Knight holding company reorganization / GETCO merger with GETCO shareholders receiving approximately 242 million newly issued shares of Knight and warrants to purchase Knight common stock as follows: 23 million ($4 strike price, 4 year expiration), 23 million ($4.50 strike price, 5 year expiration), and 23 million ($5 strike price, 6 year expiration). Based on September 30, 2012 financials, Knight's tangible book value would accrete to $3.50 per share pro-forma for the Merger. As a result of this first step, the 57 million shares of Knight currently owned by GETCO would be retired.
The second step would be an issuer tender offer for up to 154 million shares of Knight (representing 50% of the outstanding shares of Knight not currently owned by GETCO) at a cash price of $3.50 per share (total consideration of approximately $539 million). The tender offer would launch before the closing of the Merger and would be contingent upon, and close immediately after, the Merger closing. GETCO and its former owners would not participate in the tender offer.
The optionality embedded in the tender structure means that to the extent some Knight shareholders decide to keep more than 50% of their shares, those Knight shareholders that have a higher preference for cash would be able to tender more than 50% of their shares. As such, we believe this two-step structure is an efficient and highly executable way to accomplish the financial goals of our proposal, but we would be open to discussing other transaction structures that achieve the same outcome.
After completion of the Merger, assuming full participation in the tender offer, no shareholder would individually own more than 20% of the combined company and most large shareholders would be under 10% ownership"
Now, when I look at the recently filed KCG 10q, I come up with a current fully diluted share count of about 365MM. If anyone disagrees with my numbers, please do let me know.
So: start with 365MM shares of KCG fully diluted, currently (that assumes the conversion of the Preferred into Class A common).
add: 242MM new shares that GETCO will receive, and subtract the 57MM shares currently owned by GETCO which would be retired* then:
subtract: 154MM shares that GETCO will tender for at $3.50 each and we're left with:
396MM shares outstanding in the new GETCO/Knight. I completely ignored the warrants described above, which would be further dilutive, because I have no idea how to value GETCO anyway.
What's my point here?
Well, my point is that this isn't a $3.50 cash buyout for $KCG shares. It's a merger PROPOSAL, and it involves a tender for half of the outstanding fully diluted shares that GETCO doesn't already own. There will be a "back end" company that trades: the combined GETCO/Knight. What is that puppy worth? That's the billion dollar question. I have no friggin' idea.
Of course, this is just a proposal from GETCO, and they are not the only suitor looking at Knight.
disclosure: at the time I am hitting "publish" on this post, I have NO POSITIONS in $KCG
EDIT: Here is a much better post than mine, with the math I didn't do

I rarely speak but felt like it.
First of all i want to clarify i dont take sides or want to argue with anyone i just said to compose some facts till now(and since this post is in drama i might not stay focused on the topic). About deank and the DRM dongles: Deank just adjusted his code to work with the cobra features for money or not, but by them giving him access to THEIR code he had agreed not to reveal it and to deny everything so that people wouldnt bash him on why he didnt reveal the code to the scene.From my perspective out of all those involved in the DRM business deank is the most neutral(still supports the scene with updates) but probably doesnt reveal the things he has access to, so he can continue to be trusted and have access to those to further support multiman in the future. On the DRM subject in general, i strongly believe that the guys behind X3max are behind TB(or some of them) and maybe the rumored dongle,being an owner of an X3max(Thanks PS3HAX again!!) i had contacted them back when they were advertising the 3.50JB and they were answering me with some info on that, and i believe they have developed plenty of things and keep them, so that each time their device is pawned or get useless due to a scene release, they have something new to offer. i could go on and on about the DRM but its pointless if people continue to support them, so i will move on. The "secret circle of devs that suck in every new talented dev": Thats not what it is really, and i speak of this because many guys post "they have everything and they HIDE it".There are some people(math is/used to be one of them or the one that began the circle) that started sharing their work with each other but decided that since most guys that follow the scene forgot their contributions or bashed them for saying "i have this but its main reason is piracy so i wont release it"(yes that was math),they would not share anymore.They were not many but as time passed the same happened to others and they followed them, and there were some that were onto something BIG(like hacking 3.6+ back then) that were close to achieve it,but in the end they lacked something or were stuck and needed help and they asked some guys from the circle showing them their work,and when they saw that those guys really almost had it, they helped them by them accepting the same aggreement as the rest,"DONT make anything you get from us public and always share your work with the other guys from the circle".And thus the circle got bigger cause by so many talented devs working together they could all complete their projects way faster and better. But lets not be unfair, not all talented/old devs are in this.I would like to mark some of them and send them our gratitude and respect since they were sued,put to jail or just went underground, so thanks and respect got to Marcan and the Failoverflow team, graf_chocolo, Hermes, geohot(self centered but did release metldr keys) and so many im sure i forget sorry im tired. Sorry to pack such a large post and for going off topic, but back on topic if he got personal with you Greg then your decision was justified and i would have done the same.For the cobra i wrote above. Last but most important, i have never bough a DRM dongle apart from X3 but that was a gift from PS3HAX,how could i say no? :P A note to everyone dont buy DRM **** not only because they slow down the scene and you encourage them to do so, but what most people dont get is that Sony use DRM on everything limiting our freedom over our machines and everyone shouts at or hate Sony, but then you go and buy a dongle that decrypt Sonys PROPRIETARY DRM files and puts their own that uses their device and tells you FREE games,no its cheaper games but still if you want to pay for DRM pay the original developers not guys that reDRM Sonys decrypted files PLEASE.We fight to free our machines of DRM and limitations, but some people go running to buy some new dongle just to play some games or anything that could and should be available for free. Next time a new DRM **** is announced please remember all this and forget it exists Boycott Them Not Support Them. Sorry for my blabbering i just hope that some of those that didnt know some of this will be better informed,also greg and the rest of the guys correct me if in my sleepness i made any mistake. Just my 1million cents! :P Last edited by peshellas; 09-27-2012 at 10:20 PM. |

X3 wasnt a DRM dongle
it allowed you to obtain your backups any way you saw fit TB added DRM to eboots so that you had no choice to buy their product, basically selling a license you had to have to use their warez. dont forget they also deleted the HDDs of people using competing products the old dongles had a function that was at the time necessary to jailbreak the ps3. TB was NEVER necessary

Deank is a great guy and I donated to him for Multiman, I use his other great front end that has nothing to do with the PS3 scene called Ripbot264, it's a front end for x264 basically, very nicely coded and worth a donation in itself.
I'm not the sort of person that says "hey if you're feeding me, you can do what you like to me like rape me and be rude" etc. (like many people here are - how long did it take for math to be seen as the "bad" guy)....I was calling him a c*nt well before it became "cool" to... But I'll say on the subject of deank, he's a straight talking person and acts in a straight way. He's quite brash and forward but I respect his attitude for that. He will talk to the low level fools that we are if posed a sensible question. One of the best people in the scene imo and I'm sure a top guy off the internet too. I like his attitude personally and don't blame him at all for making a deal with Cobra, best of luck to him and all he does. Deny it or otherwise, there would have been somewhat of a witch hunt out for him if he came clean on it and I'm not even sure it was quite as clear cut as people make out. This is the kind of "entitlement" attitude that needs weeding out.....Not the kind of "entitlement" people normally think about with the PS3 scene and those top end developers who give sweet FA and complain how ungrateful we are. In the case of deank and people winging about him selling his code to Cobra - They need an effing reality check, and fail to understand they lost nothing as a result of him doing so. He wasn't selling secrets or anything like that ala trueblue or DEX leak drama Last edited by baargle; 09-28-2012 at 02:30 AM. |

Perhaps it's just me in this scene, but I do not like being lied to. I guess by your definition, I feel like I am entitled to the truth and that is bringing the scene down?

for x3max, they left us with the added microSD slot unusable, apart from that it cannot be compared with tb, it served an purpose back in the 341jb days and atm stil going strong as downgrade dog so all in all worth the money back then, tb is totally diff and waste of space, maybe they are the same people who know...atm dongles are evil and need to be boycotted as much possible, always a fool going for it tho....they need to smoke some ganjas hehe ....

10 million Galaxy S III handsets sold globally so far
| by tech2 News Staff |
The global sales of the Galaxy S III, Samsung's newest entrant in the smartphone space have hit the 10 million mark, as per a statement by Shin Jong-kyun, the president of the company's information technology and mobile communication division, reports Yonhap news agency. The news comes just a couple of months after the official launch of the highly anticipated smartphone. Successor to the company's popular Galaxy S II smartphone, the S III was expected to hit the number in July, according to a report published in late June. The report added that before the S III's launch, Samsung had announced that it had already received 9 million pre-orders. Samsung further added that that the phone has been received well across the world. Reaching the 10 million mark just two months into sales means that about 190,000 Galaxy S III handsets are being sold every day. These numbers take the S III ahead of its very popular predecessor the Galaxy S II that reported sales hitting 10 million, five months after it reached consumers. Samsung Galaxy SIII - 10 million sold in just 2 months The Samsung Galaxy S III comes with Android 4.0.4 out of the box, and is fuelled by a 2100mAh battery. The S III is powered by a 1.4 GHz quad-core Exynos 4 processor and sports an 8MP shooter. Here is a quick look at the other highlighted features of the Samsung Galaxy S III:
We reviewed the S III in detail in our labs, and found it to be an above-average smartphone. The S III is excellent when it comes to media playback and benchmarks, and battery life. You can read the full review here. Later this year, Samsung has plans of introducing a 64GB variety of the handset. In its statement, Samsung added, "The 64GB model of the GALAXY S III will be available during the second half of this year. The market availability and timing may vary and will be determined at the time of release." All eyes are now also on what Cupertino-based company, Apple will do with its iPhone 5, which is also expected to come around soon. In his statement which created quite a stir, Terry Gou, CEO of Hon Hai Precision Industry or Foxconn (the company that builds iPhones) stated that consumers should wait for the launch of Apple's iPhone 5, and that the newest 'i' devices will put Samsung's Galaxy III to shame. The truth will be only ascertained once the iPhone 5 actually launches. Till then, folks at Samsung can rejoice. |

What is the minimum number of dining chairs that I can purchase?
TopThe minimum number of chairs depends on the number of chairs that come per box. Most of our dining chairs come 2 per box.

Screenterrier reported back in 2009 and 2010 on the casting of Lily Cole as Ernessa and Sarah Bolger as Rebecca in director Mary Harron's feature film adaptation of Rachel Klein's cult teenage gothic novel The Moth Diaries. They are joined by Canadian actress Sarah Gadon as Lucy.
Check out the trailer and official synopsis below:
Adolescence is and always will be a time of intense emotional confusion, especially if you spend it in a closed environment. That's the case with Rebecca, a young girl haunted by her father's suicide, who is a student at an exclusive female boarding school. She pours her heart out in a diary, much of it focused on Lucy, her beloved roommate. Their relationship changes drastically with the arrival of a mysterious new student, Ernessa. As Lucy abandons her for this new girl, Rebecca becomes consumed with thoughts of jealousy and suspicion — Ernessa is dangerous, evil, a vampire. Is there any truth to all this or is Rebecca slipping into insanity?

Take it Easy!
Probably my most hated song and dance. Took me quite a while to get the dance through parts. I still suck at them, but at least I remember most of the steps. It did require a bit of tears for this one… It still does… The ones to come will be worse…fml.
I'm probably done for today.
