I love the fact that you've reviewed this and that you've said it isn't entirely terrible.
Anyone who has been to China can attest that the place is awash with fake stuff. Some fakes are well-known (Rolexes, Gucci bags and so on); some are rather more disturbing (pharmaceuticals, chicken eggs).
When I was in Beijing this year, I noticed that cycling team kits are now appearing alongside the Barcelona shirts, Nike trainers, North Face jackets and so on in China's markets. When I found a Kuota-road.cc kit for sale, I couldn't resist.
The kit comprised short-sleeved jersey and bib shorts. I was initially unsure of the wisdom of securing the family legacy in a set of fake bibs, even though the pad looked a bit more convincing than I had expected, but when I stretched the waistband and the stitching started to fall apart, I quickly decided I wouldn't be buying the shorts.
The jersey, however, is really not that bad at all. It claimed to be made from Coolmax, a claim that I treated much like the stallholder's insistence that it was "made it Italy". However, the fabric is similar to that on other mid-range jerseys you can buy in Europe and does a surprisingly good job of keeping you cool and dry.
On a recent touring trip to France, we went through some pretty torrential downpours, and within half an hour after the rain stopped, the jersey was dry. On the hot sunny days the good breathability kept me comfortable and cool.
Like the real team jersey, it has 3 pockets on the back. These coped well with wallet, phone, keys and so on - I had thought they might start to come apart, but they didn't. Unlike the real jersey, it has a 3/4 zip instead of a full one. The seams are not flat-lock which in theory would make it less comfortable, but over 700km or so I didn't find this a problem.
One or two other details give the game away if you look closely - some of the logos don't look quite right - especially the road.cc one, which is a bit of a mess - and there are no silicon grippers inside the hem.
I bought an XL which fitted me well - it's not race-fit but was comfortable and didn't flap around too much.
The jersey has been through the wash quite a few times and survived without any bobbling or fading.
I bought this mostly because I was amused that the road.cc argyle had made it to the fake markets on the other side of the world, but to my surprise it's really not that bad at all. It didn't fall apart after 5 minutes as I might have expected, and survived a cycle touring holiday in good shape. I haven't tried the real team kuota-road.cc kit, and I am sure that side-by-side you'd see the differences, but for a cheap jersey it's really pretty decent.

Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
The goods in Chinese fake markets are increasingly aimed at foreign tourists, so the products on offer tend to mirror a slightly skewed Chinese perception of what westerners want. They've obviously picked up that people are buying replica cycling kit in Europe and the US, and hence the fakes are starting to appear.
You don't buy something like this expecting it to be the same as the real thing (or at least you shouldn't). That being so, I was pleasantly surprised at the fact that this is a pretty nice jersey to ride in.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Short-sleeved, 3/4 zip cycling jersey. Claimed to be made from Coolmax - I wasn't able to verify this, but it is far from the worst fabric that I've ridden in. No silicon grippers. Three fairly robust pockets (none with zips) at the back.
Much better than I'd expected (and much better than the shorts with which it was being sold). Quality akin to a jersey from the lower end of a decent manufacturer's range.
Was very quick to dry, breathable and generally comfortable in a wide range of (summer) riding conditions.
Again, better than expected. 1000km or so and numerous washes later, it still looks almost like new.
Lack of flat-lock seams and silicon grippers do count against this, when compared to the real thing ... but in use neither was really a problem for me.
Hard one to rate, this - the price paid was after a considerable amount of bartering (I think the price started at around £80 - rather higher than the list price for the real thing!). Given that you can pick up a passable fake football shirt for £5 in a Chinese market, £22 seemed steep ... but then it's still rather less than the real thing. In terms of what you'd pay in Europe for a similar jersey, it seems good value.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Nice styling (props, Oli), decent fit, surprising comfort and durability. Oh, and the fact that I might have the only fake road.cc jersey in the country!
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Nothing particularly. Would have been nice if the bib shorts were better made I guess.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes.
Would you consider buying the product? Yes, I did.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes, provided they had no moral objections to such things...

I decided to take the gamble and buy a Garmin Cervelo replica from Singagpore via Ebay - for £25 inc postage for Shirt and bib-shorts thought it was worth the risk.
To my surprise, arrived eight days later and I was presently surprised by the result. Shirt quality sounds very similar to this one and, for £25, I have a kit I can thrash about on my mtb. No complaints so far
Hmmm ... not keen on this review.
Why you shouldn't buy fake/counterfeit goods
- A lot of fake goods fund drug dealers and other organised crime - even terrorism.
- We end up paying higher taxes because people who deal in fakes don't pay any.
- You may be putting local people/or legitimate workers out of jobs because genuine manufacturers can't compete with criminals making and selling fakes.
- Fake goods deprive the copyright owner of money that can be used to fund new developments/sponsor teams and invest in our sport.
So don't touch them!
You might not be the only one if people ordered from this...
oh and any excuse to post this picture from my blog last year shouldn't be wasted...
I think it is appalling that you are legitimizing this fake kit. It might seem like a bit of fun, but this is piracy and damaging to people who build businesses, the people they employ and the hard work they do - it puts peoples livelihoods in jeopardy. I hope that someone makes a knock off, cheap version of whatever you do for a job and sells it for less. See how you like it.
I think you should remove this from the site, let along the front page.
Actually smernicki we were involved in designing that kit, it was a limited run, it was good quality clobber (much better than the imitation reviewed here) and as far as I'm aware it all sold out. Fair enough we didn't make it, or pay for it, but the people who did were paid a long time ago and no-one as far as I'm aware lost out financially. So that's why we're counting this bit imitation as flattery.

I appreciate that, and I also know that sales from kit is unlikely to be me your main source of revenue. But I think it is still legitimising counterfeit goods. You're not doing any favours to the legit manufactures for who this sort of thing is a real business damaging issue. We want to encourage investment and inovation - piracy inhibits that.

Hey, relax matey! They (and we) are having a chuckle because someone has bothered to put together and sell a fake Kuota/road.cc jersey in China.
I expect you'd blame my colleague for the demise of HTC-Highroad (and maybe the recent riots) because he bought a knockoff Columbia-HTC jersey & bibs for about £30 from China. He would never have bought genuine team kit so it's not like someone else lost a sale, though I do understand your argument.

Chris -- 2018-04-11
From an announcement of a newly published book on Krautrock: "With detailed discographies of all the bands featured and a timeline sighting important political and social events…"
cite/site/sight has been mentioned in the Eggcorn Forum
( http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/view … p?pid=2247 ) as an example of "Homonyms that are likely misspelling of each other, but might also be a source for eggcorns".
I would argue that "sighting" for "citing" as in my example above is a real eggcorn. Sighting (to see something) is close enough in meaning to citing (to point out something) that it kind of makes sense, while not really being synonymous. It's easy to imagine that the writer confused the meanings, not just the spellings. I believe that, along with the identical pronunciation, this qualifies it as an eggcorn.
What say y'all?
I think your cite/sight example is a legitimate eggcorn. I also think there are plenty of legitimate eggcorns derived from sight/site … particularly when preceding unseen.
It's fascinating that this triple homophone possesses at least two distinct eggcorns. Can we find the third leg to the triangle?

Good question, jorkel! Googling "site any examples" yielded about 19,000 hits, of which fully half of the sample I read (i.e., 10 of the 20 hits on the first two pages), used "site" for "cite". Possibly just a misspelling or a non-eggcornish misuse of homonyms in every case, I suppose, but consider this one: "Can you site any examples of what commercial / office land is selling for in the CBD of state college borough?" It seems possible that, in the context of discussing building sites, the use of the word "site" was at least partly due to a meaning connection in the writer's mind, thus perhaps qualifying this case as an eggcorn?
One of my favorites was of an Arizona highway patrolman citing a cougar on Oracle Road near El Conquistador, about 15 years ago now. (We figured it must have been doing 30 mph in a 20 mph zone or something.) It would have been less remarkable, perhaps, had it been a Cougar.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
I just encountered another one of these today: "There are a lot of important British groups that sight Faust as an influence too." (from an online chat-list devoted to the musical group Faust). I did a search on Eggcorn Database and discovered that I'd already started this thread some time ago and forgotten about it (and of course this thread isn't the first mention of sight/cite on the Eggcorn Forum).
Plenty of ghits for "insight violence", "insightment to violence" and the like.
Semantic justification? Sarah Palin's gunsights apart, I can see why 'insight' might mean 'make visible the possibility of/show'. It's not much to do with the 'insight' of 'gain insight'.

- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- My kitchen has great "inset" cupboard doors with latch hardware, a great layout, a nice nook in the corner for tea or reading, and some fun accessories, like an antique style payphone.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- My kitchen used to be cute (see the "before" pic), but battered and not very functional - there was only one 5-foot stretch of cabinets, and the uppers weren't deep enough to hold a dinner plate. I gutted the whole thing and finished it in a butler's pantry style, with double the counter space. I painted the old wood floors dark brown and the walls a yummy green. Unfortunately the cabinet makers didn't make the microwave nook big enough for the microwave, so I keep baking dishes in there.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- I like to bake (rhubarb muffins, lemon loaf, angel food cake, peanut butter cookies and the list goes on) so I have the main counter space set up with all my baking needs in arm's reach.

The Supreme Court Reviews Hillary: The Movie
Prediction: 10 thumbs-ups, 8 thumbs-downs.
Hillary: The Movie: The critics rave.
"This film, which I saw—it is not a musical comedy."
—Justice Stephen Breyer
"As Justice Breyer said, it's not a musical comedy."
—Justice David Souter
In 2008, a conservative group called Citizens United produced Hillary: The Movie, a 90-minute documentary in which Hillary Clinton, then seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, is variously described as "deceitful," "ruthless," and "cunning," as well as "dishonest," "reckless," a "congenital liar," and "not qualified as commander in chief." For ideological balance, Dick Morris says that "Hillary is the closest thing we have in America to a European socialist." The movie did not expressly urge voters to vote against her. It simply implied that friends don't let friends vote for evil people.
Citizens United released the film in six theaters and on DVD, actions not subject to federal regulation. But when they sought to distribute the film by paying $1.2 million to sell it through a video-on-demand service, the Federal Election Commission contended that the film was no different from the kind of "electioneering communication" regulated under the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. That was the 2002 statute that tried to limit the influence of big money on elections. If subject to the constraints of McCain-Feingold, the film could not be financed by corporate treasuries or broadcast within 30 days of a primary or 60 days of a general election. The federal court of appeals agreed with the FEC, finding that the movie could be interpreted as nothing but an effort to "inform the electorate that Senator Clinton is unfit for office." Citizens United appealed.
The question for the high court in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission is whether the film is more like a 90-minute version of one of those swift-boat ads or more like The Federalist—core political speech that warrants the highest level of constitutional protection. At oral argument this morning, the government—seemingly unafraid of the latter comparison—takes the position that in the right circumstances, even books can be banned under campaign finance laws. And that's when the justices start hyperventilating.
Former Bush administration Solicitor General Ted Olson represents Citizens United, and because the justices had just screened the virulently anti-Clinton film, his claims that the movie simply "informs and educates" the public about important issues are generally met by stony silence. Nobody really thinks it is an episode of 60 Minutes. Olson does get the bunch hopping when he characterizes McCain-Feingold as "one of the most complicated, expensive, and incomprehensible regulatory regimes ever invented by the administrative state." Olson notes that the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (which he accidentally calls "the Reporters Committee for the Right to Life") filed a brief on his side of the case urging that the Hillary movie "is indistinguishable from other news-media commentary." (Disclosure: I am on the steering committee of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press; I am still wait-listed for Reporters Committee for the Right to Life.)
Several of the justices seem bothered by Olson's claim that Hillary did not represent electioneering. "This sounds to me like campaign advocacy," insists Justice David Souter. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg adds, "If that isn't an appeal to voters, I can't imagine what is." To which Olson replies that the film is merely "a long discussion of the record, qualifications, history, and conduct of someone who is in the political arena, a person who already holds public office, who now holds a different public office, who, yes, at that point, Justice Souter, was running for office." But Justice Anthony Kennedy observes that a 90-minute attack ad is pretty much by definition more potent than a 30-second one: "[I]f we take this as a beginning point—that a short, 30-second campaign ad can be regulated—you want me to write an opinion and say, well, if it's 90 minutes, then that's different. It seems to me that you can make the argument that 90 minutes is much more powerful in support or in opposition to a candidate."
Olson seems to be of the view that a good way to peel off five votes at the court is by berating the justices about the general twirliness of the campaign finance laws, as evidenced by the fact that "since 2003, this court has issued something close to 500 pages of opinions … and 22 separate opinions from the Justices of this Court attempting to figure out what this statute means." A defensive Chief Justice John Roberts observes that the statute gives the court "mandatory appellate jurisdiction"—it has to hear these cases. A tetchy John Paul Stevens snaps: "And maybe those cases presented more difficult issues than this one!"
Note to Olson: Don't tell the justices they are too stupid to understand McCain-Feingold.
Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart rises to argue the case for the FEC. His job is to persuade the court that they can and should ban 90-minute attack ads. But when Justice Samuel Alito asks whether the government—if it can regulate documentaries—might also regulate a book containing "express advocacy" prior to an election, Stewart agrees that it might.
"That's pretty incredible," splutters Alito. "You think that if—if a book was published, a campaign biography that was the functional equivalent of express advocacy, that could be banned?" Not banned, clarifies Stewart. Congress could just "prohibit the use of corporate treasury funds" to publish it. Oh, Malcolm Stewart. Malcolm Stewart. With your Macbeth-y first name and your Macbeth-ier last name. You did not just say the government might engage in a teensy little bit of judicious, narrowly tailored book-banning, did you?
At this point, a horrified Anthony Kennedy gets even paler than his usual pale self: "Is it the Kindle where you can read a book? I take it that's from a satellite. So the existing statute would probably prohibit that under your view? … If this Kindle device where you can read a book which is campaign advocacy, within the 60- to 30-day period, if it comes from a satellite, it can be prohibited under the Constitution and perhaps under this statute?" Again Stewart clarifies that it wouldn't be banned, but a corporation could be barred from using its general treasury funds to publish such a book and would be required to publish it through a PAC. The chief justice seeks to clarify that this would be so even in a 500-page book with only one sentence that contained express advocacy. Stewart cheerfully agrees. The chief justice wonders whether this would apply even "to a sign held up in Lafayette Park saying vote for so-and-so." Stewart doesn't quite say no.
Justice Breyer keeps trying to shake Stewart over his head—like an Etch A Sketch—to erase the noxious image of government-sponsored book banning and get him to stop chatting about issues that are not before the court. But it's too late. Now Souter looks even paler than Kennedy.
For the past few years, the Roberts court has been slowing chipping away at McCain-Feingold, with Justices Roberts and Alito tapping on the brakes as Kennedy, Scalia, and Thomas revved the motor. But it seems to me that all this talk of book banning and government regulation of signs in Lafayette Park is a pretty good way to get all five of them in the mood to run down yet more restrictions on political advertising. And maybe even back up and do it again.

Lars Ulrich: I Wouldn't Put Money on Metallica Playing Full Album Sets at 2013 Orion Festival
After the success of last year's Orion Music + More festival, the members of Metallica were pretty confident that they'd bring it back for a second year. But will the band play entire albums during their sets, like they did last year? Drummer Lars Ulrich was non-committal on the subject when speaking with Revolver.
When asked if the band would revisit any more albums in full like they did last year with 'Ride the Lightning' and the Black Album, Ulrich stated, "If I was a betting man, which I'm not, I would probably not put too much money on that. I think you've got to be careful that it doesn't become something that people expect from you every year, especially when you only put records out every five years like we do. We'll run out of records to play at some point pretty quick." However, Ulrich says he is aware of the 30th anniversary of 'Kill 'Em All' this year, but admits the band hasn't made the decision of whether or not to play it in full.
But while the idea of playing a full disc live is still up in the air, Ulrich says there really wasn't much debate about whether or not the Orion Music + More festival would return. He explains, "We had a great f—in' weekend, and it seemed like everybody else had a really fun weekend. I don't think it has to be much more intellectualized than that."
The drummer says that the first year was filled with memorable moments from getting to showcase his film tent to seeing such acts as The Arctic Monkeys, Avenged Sevenfold, and The Sword performing to getting to play their own sets, and he's just as excited about this year's event. He singled out such veteran acts as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Deftones, Death and Dillinger Escape Plan as 2013 performers he's anxious to see, and he also revealed his fandom of indie rockers Japandroids. "My 14-year-old has turned me on to Japandroids," says Ulrich. "I've heard some of their stuff, which is pretty amazing."
Ulrich also expressed his joy over the fact that the current incarnation of Black Flag, simply billed as FLAG, will be playing this year. "We actually saw them in New Jersey around '84 or '85," recalls the drummer of Black Flag. "That was a very special night, because up 'til now — I'm not saying it won't happen again — but up 'til now, that's the only time I've been hardcore punched." Ulrich revealed that he smarted off to one of the bouncers when they were asked to leave and in response he got punched in the stomach. He explains, "That the other thing I remember about that night other than seeing Black Flag."

CareerTech Skills Centers
The CareerTech Skills Centers (CTSC) began operations in February of 1971 as the Inmate Training division of the Oklahoma Department of Vocational and Technical Education, now the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education.
During our 40+ years of serving incarcerated offenders in Oklahoma, Skills Centers have evolved from a division with a few occupational training programs to a large school system with a multitude of programs and services for both adult and juvenile offenders. The school system began at the Jim E. Hamilton CareerTech Skills Center inside the Jim E. Hamilton (formerly Ouachita) Correctional Center at Hodgen, Oklahoma. Today, the CTSC offers services in state correctional facilities, juvenile detention facilities and community correctional facilities.
A successful transition from corrections to the workplace can mean a life of success for ex-offenders. To prepare offenders for successful transition, career and technical education, employability and life skills are integrated into this educational delivery system. Skills Centers students may seek certifications recognized by both state and national industries. Career Readiness Credentials (CRC) may be secured documenting work readiness skills many business and industry employers seek. The CTSC provides students with numerous interconnected and integrated components, each an integral part of preparing offenders for success in the workplace and in society.
The CTSC works in conjunction with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (DOC) and Oklahoma Correctional Industries (OCI) to offer a U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, registered apprenticeship programs for offenders in Cabinetmaking.
In 1996, the CTSC entered into an agreement with the Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs (OJA) to provide training to juvenile offenders detained in Oklahoma facilities. The CTSC and OJA have partnered with the Associated General Contractors (AGC). The AGC, through its member contractors, also assists the CTSC in development of appropriate curriculum and learning activities.
The intent of this division of CareerTech is to continue to evolve as business and industry changes. The goal is to provide educational services that will cause skills centers students to seek and find success in the workplace and in society.

In Dec of 2014 I decided to sell my house of 15years & pick up a vintage Airstream. I found a guy in Covington that had one he was completing- house went under contract before Xmas & things seemed to be working out. I made this decision because I'd been in the same place in the Old 4th Ward for 15yrs. WAY too much condo and apartment construction in the area making it unbearable to get anywhere. I had way too much stuff that I didn't need & needed to cut it way back to the essentials. AND it didn't make sense for me to be paying almost $2300 on mortgage & utilities for me & my 3 cats, Bongo, Molly & Casper
Little did I know that 4 contracts would fall through until I finally sold on May 28th, 2015. Not the new year start i expected…
Follow along. It's an adventure for sure///

Greetings. Let me be the first to extend my sincere hope that your Earth Day celebration was joyful. It certainly was festive at our house.
There's just something about the Earth Day season that brings out the best in folks. Maybe it's the music, or the special food or perhaps the holiday traditions that make this one of the most festive times of the year.
I never can get quite enough granola-prune pancakes — how about you?
I'm sure you all have your favorite Earth Day activities, but one of my favorites is buying up a bunch of leftover Easter bunnies and turning them loose. We always get a warm feeling deep down when we watch those pink, blue and purple-dyed little bunnies scampering over the lawns and into the road. It's always a bit sad, however, to see how few of them survive the neighborhood dogs, cats and urban traffic.
But at least we have the consolation of knowing that we allowed them to die free.
We also use Earth Day as the official date for going barefoot. Nothing uplifts the soul like the first tingling sensation of bare feet making contact with the first blades of newly emerged grass. This tradition has lost some of it's luster, however, since we moved to Texas and found that those grassy patches also contain prickly pear, sand spur or cholla cactus, to say nothing of the scorpions and fire ants, which also seem to appreciate the warming trend that usually accompanies Earth Day.
It's also a bit of a downer to un-decorate. We always take down the Earth Day tree within three days of the holiday as legend says it's bad luck to leave it up any longer. Also, we want to plant it before the burlap begins to dry out.
Tree selection, too, has caused more than a little concern of late. We started with evergreens, but found that the combination of Dallas area winds, extreme heat and drought turned the needles into kindling after about two months. We tried more drought-tolerant species but the cold winters killed them.
We finally settled on mesquite, which seems to thrive in even the most severe weather conditions. Our back yard is taking on something of an overgrown look, however, so we may be forced to forgo the tree-planting tradition for a year or two.
We changed another tradition this year and instead of singing typical Earth Day tunes we performed oral readings of Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau. The performances were so restful we enjoyed several long naps.
But the most important aspect of Earth Day is that we had so much to celebrate. For one thing, Global Warming has not happened. The ice caps are intact. Cold weather continues to beat the heck out of us every winter.
In fact, cold seems to persist longer and longer each year. On March 21, my friend and I halted a fishing trip at midday because we were freezing our behinds off and catching no fish. Also, Massachusetts had snow on April 9. Ah, but that's Massachusetts, way up north where they're apt to get snow just about anytime but July 17th. Yes, but on that same day, the thermometer in Shaw, Miss., recorded 34 degrees. And my azaleas got nipped. My gardenia, for the second year in a row, will have to struggle back from its roots since no foliage remains.
So, whoever came up with the idea that farmers and others are polluting the earth, killing ozone and creating a greenhouse effect, has about as much credibility left as the Iraqi minister of information.
It's been cold and I didn't really need Earth Day to remind me not to throw away my long johns.

Behind enemy lines
POW tells story of survival 66 years later.
Albert Connelly always thought he'd make it home.
But sometimes he wondered . . .
. . . when shells whizzed too close to his head and exploded nearby.
. . . about the time, deep in Nazi territory, he found himself looking down the barrels of German guns.
. . . on the long march across Germany as fellow, starving Americans dropped dead in the snow.
His blue eyes clear on a bright November morning, 91-year-old Connelly finally shared the remarkable story he lived behind enemy lines during World War II.
"I figured if I'm ever going to tell a little about what happened, I'd better be getting it done," he said.
* * * * *
Connelly was born at home in a remote valley between Snell Canyon and what is now Jeffrey Lake.
Although his father, a farmer and stockman, moved the family around, the area southwest of Brady is what Connelly calls home.
He attended country schools, through the eighth grade, and then took up ranching, putting up hay and breaking colts.
"It paid one-and-a-half the wages of the other fellas," Connelly said about breaking horses for a living.
In August of 1942, he married Dora Carver who grew up in the same area.
Two months later, he was drafted into the U.S. Army.
After training as a gunner with the 119th Armored Engineers, Connelly joined a division of the 81st Combat Engineers.
"We instructed the new guys and did just about everything—loading belts for machine guns and repairing them," he said.
His unit shipped off to England and then to Rouen, France, where they rode landing ship tanks onto the beach—the same watercraft that carried Allied troops to the beaches of Normandy on D-Day the previous June.
Unlike D-Day, there was no resistance at first.
But four days later, Connelly remembers his first encounter with the enemy.
"I had the hell scared out of me," he said. "Anyone who said they weren't scared either wasn't there or is a liar."
From that experience, he said he learned to control his fear.
During the war, his battalion, made up of 670 men, was sent to "hot spots."
One of those spots was in Auw, Germany, where members of Connelly's unit learned they were supposed to crack the Siegfried line.
Historical sources describe the line as a system of pillboxes and strong points built along the German western frontier in the 1930s. Expanded in 1944, German troops retreating from France used it as a barrier against Allied troops.
Connelly said the Germans had dug tunnels into the hills and reinforced them with up to 18-feet of concrete.
While waiting for supplies, his company lived in a couple of houses near Auw where he said they tried to figure out how to put "beehives," or rocket-propelled explosives, on the Siegfried line to blow it up while avoiding enemy fire.
"One day, three German tanks rolled up and cranked their cannons and blew up the house I was in," Connelly said.
Connelly and others saw the tanks coming and dashed out into the snow and over a hill to hide in trees before it exploded.
"There were still men inside," he said.
Hidden by timber, Connelly and the other survivors received a radio message from headquarters telling them to go to St. Vith, Luxemborg, which he said was about 60 miles away.
"We didn't get any vehicles out with us and we were in a place covered with Germans," he said.
Despite captured American trucks and jeeps, driven by Germans, rumbling through the area, Connelly and his comrades encountered an American-driven truck that chugged up behind them.
He and about 10 other Americans climbed aboard.
It was night as Allies behind enemy lines knew better than to drive during the day.
Connelly remembers the driver as one of the bravest men he's known, telling how the soldier would drive slowly and stop as German tanks backed off the road into trees.
Eventually the truck ran out of gas and they abandoned the vehicle.
But, by the grace of God, they made it to St. Vith and regrouped.
Through radio messages, they were told to hold an important crossroads—an account written about by William Baldwin in "Engineers in the Battle of the Bulge."
With Allied forces advancing across France, Baldwin describes Hitler's offensive plan to crash through an 85-mile area of the Ardennes in Belgium to split British and American armies.
At St. Vith, he describes the 81st as holding its position against German attacks from Dec. 17-21, 1944.
Connelly said they didn't have anything with which to fight tanks but "we did the best we could."
Finally, they received a message to "give 'em hell as long as you can."
Then, all contact ended.
"We just got kind of numb," Connelly said.
Baldwin writes: "During that afternoon, a heavy German assault, led by tanks and accompanied by intense artillery, rocket, and mortar fire, overran the exhausted American defenders. Colonel Riggs ordered his men to break up in small groups and attempt to escape to the rear."
Connelly said the commander told them to find their way back to Allied lines.
In the middle of the night, Connelly set off with a fellow engineer he'd worked with and trusted—Orville Perry from Reston, WA.
"But we had no idea where to go," he explained. "The only way to go was where there was a lot of action and we were pretty close to the front lines."
They soon were befriended by three other engineers wandering in the woods who were confused and lost and "begged to go with us."
While separated from the main unit, Connelly and the group survived on

The Highs and Lows of the Golden Globes
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler: highlight. Robert Downey Jr.: surprise lowlight.
It may not surprise you to read the following sentence, but here it is anyway: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are very good awards show hosts! And so tonight's Golden Globes went down smoothly, with jokes that were genuinely funny (unless your name is James Cameron), a handful of surprise winners (congrats, Ben Affleck and Lena Dunham!), one long and legendary speech (here's to you, Jodie Foster), and a healthy dose of Homeland-sponsored jazz. Let's break down the highs and lows, shall we?
High: Hostesses with the Mostestesses
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey killed. They killed. Their monologue was great; their interstitial bits were solid, and the faux nominees, Darcy St. Fudge and Damian Fransisco, were the highlight of the show. So a low for their virtual disappearing act in the second half. Must we trot out Jessica Alba and Jason Statham? Can't that be another spot for the hosts to host? Ah, maybe next year. (Watch our video highlights of Tina and Amy here.)
High: Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain's Oscar Audition Speeches
Thanks to the Comedy/Drama split (a.k.a. the "Get More Famous People at Our Awards Show" trick), your Best Actress Oscar Favorites were in separate categories tonight — meaning both Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain got a chance to show off their acceptance speech skills for Academy voters. They really did not make the decision any easier. Jennifer Lawrence was genuine and surprisingly emotional — though she did manage a First Wives Club shout-out ("I beat Meryl") and a Harvey Weinstein joke — while Jessica Chastain worked the poised, on-behalf-of-all-women angle (with a strong Bigelow shout-out). How you gonna choose just one, Oscar voters?
Low: Anne Hathaway's Attempt to Double Up
Anne Hathaway, you don't get to make two speeches. If you forgot to thank your "team" or whatever, that is on you — no co-opting Les Mis's team win for your own shout-outs. If you forgot to thank someone important, try marrying Jennifer Garner, because high, Jennifer Garner thanking the people her husband Ben Affleck accidentally omitted was actually completely charming and cute.
High: Jodie Foster's Amazing, Neverending Cecil B. DeMille Award Acceptance Speech
Well, we'll be talking about that one for a while. The full text (with video!) is here.
Low: Robert Downey Jr.'s Jodie Foster Intro
Something about a hamster? Robert Downey, Jr. is as charming as they get, but the Mel Gibson-furry rodent inside jokes escaped us. Also, did that speech really need any intro at all? No, it did not.
High: the HFPA President hitting on Bradley Cooper
Tina and Amy's STD bit was amusing, but tonight's best Hollywood Foreign Press jokes came from the HFPA itself — or rather from its adorable president, Dr. Aida Takla O'Reilly, who cracked that "no one would remember" her name and then proceeded to hit on Bradley Cooper from the stage. Her pick-up line? "Call Me Maybe." Bravo, Dr. Aida Takla O'Reilly. (We remembered!)
High: Bill Clinton's Praise for Lincoln
Bill Clinton's intro for Lincoln was a surprise treat ("Hillary Clinton's husband!" as Amy Poehler put it) with a hearty helping of gravitas. The actual Tony Mendez introducing Argo was a nice touch, too (though maybe next time we can encourage him to speak into the microphone). But low: The other movies had totally blah introductions. No fair! Either everyone gets some kind of special treatment or no one does.
Low: Sacha Baron Cohen's Ricky Gervais Impression
Drink in hand? Check. Appallingly smug attitude? Check. Unfunny joke about Anne Hathaway's upskirt photos? Well, if Ricky Gervais had hosted this year, you know that would've made it into the monologue. Congrats to Sacha Baron Cohen for inheriting the least likable British person role at the 2013 Golden Globes!
High: Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell Taking Everyone Down a Peg
Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell's jokey, possibly partially improvised segment about not having seen any of the movies for best actress in a comedy introduced a far, far better concept for Hope Springs. What wouldn't we give for that movie to have actually been about an aggressive lady cop named Hope Springs? Wiig and Ferrell ran a little long, but given how tepid the middle hour of the show was, they were a highlight.
Low: Free Maggie Smith!
We understand that Maggie Smith has better things to do, but still: Maggie Smith, won't you please come to an awards show one day? We miss you.

Regardless of whether people agree with the Fed's decision to leave its $85 billion per month asset buying program unchanged, it was pretty easy to see that the market thought it was time for a taper. Leading up to the release of the Fed statement, the market saw net speculative short positions in Treasuries at the highest level in the past three years. Those traders were run-over by the surprise news from the Fed. The market was also telling us that equities were most likely going to fare well if a taper was announced. The CBOE S&P 500 Volatility index (VIX) saw net speculative short positions at an all-time high. The market was as prepared for a taper as it was ever going to be and the decision from the Fed came as a total shock. It is likely that markets will remain choppy until we get some information about the taper. It is easy to get chopped up in a sideways market, and most products won't give a trader the opportunity to profit from range bound markets.
Options on futures would allow a trader to collect premium in a market that is in a consolidation phase. Until we get more information on the taper, it seems that conditions like this will persist. What type of strategy would a trader use to take this view on the market? A trader could us a strategy known as an iron condor.
Here's how it sets up.
Trade: Selling the ES Oct 1660-1650 Put Spread and the 1730-1740 Call Spread for a 3.75 Credit.
Risk: $312.5 per 1 lot
Reward: $187.50 per 1 lot
Breakeven: 1656.25 and 1733.75
This trade profits in a very wide range and all other things held equal will profit more with the passing of time. If a trader wanted to profit in a choppy market, this trade is a low risk way to do so.

text: Hello Using Litespeed Enterprise on CentOS 6.5 (Vanilla, not external repo, official repo). The only external repo is MariaDB. Install done using official MariaDB docs and official MariaDB RPMs for CentOS. MariaDB works well with PHP apps but there are problems with CGI Apps. I have this output from a script: Code: install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains: Plugins Modules . /usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5) at (eval 5) line 3. Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed, or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right. I assume there's something wrong with MariaDB + Litespeed + CGI Apps (not Litespeed fault, i think 99.999% mariaDB fault). According your experience is it possibile to solve this problem doing compile php again with some "magic flags" ? If yes, how to use the flags to specify mariadb position ? Thanks

The Kentucky Derby is a little different this year. No, it's still the same distance (1 1/4 miles) at Churchill Downs. It's still held on the first Saturday in May (May 4 this year) and it's still called the "greatest two minutes in sports."
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

I *think* my supply might be low. Actually, if my baby would ever nurse from both breasts, maybe she would be getting more milk and be gaining weight better, but I used to have oversupply, so she's used to only needing to nurse at one breast, and get back to playing.
But at 15 months, isn't my supply pretty much established? Or can I ramp it back up again some? AF has not come back, but I do feel the creakings of my ovaries every once in a while, and my cervical fluid sometimes seems eggwhite-like, so it may be soon returning.
Will the standard things help? Fenugreek, pumping after nursings? My LO won't eat much food, like hardly anything, and she's barely gaining weight now, too, so the only thing I can think of is that my supply might be low.

MEDWAY, MA — As the health club market continues to struggle, Cybex International, Medway, MA, is increasing its focus on markets beyond health clubs and changing its pricing, according to John Aglialoro, Cybex CEO.
Aglialoro noted the changes last month in a third quarter financial call with shareholders and analysts.
"We are going to adjust our list prices according to value," Aglialoro said. He added that Cybex is competitive in the treadmill market, and the company's Arc Trainer was superior to ellipticals, something that would be reflected in the products' list prices.
"We're going to approach each of the products according to value," he added. "Where we see a disparate pricing like the Arc Trainer vs. the ellipticals, we're going to price accordingly. We're going to sell for value, and that will give us a lot of flexibility to provide good pricing for the customer but within a balance we can handle."
The pricing will extend to the strength side, too.
"We're going to price some of our strength equipment well above the competition based on value," Aglialoro said, noting the company's new Bravo Functional Trainer, which he said had done well in some university research tests. "If we find ourselves locked in to where our value is not as good, we will lower list prices… . We need to separate ourselves from the competition based on the work and products we fashion with our engineering and our design, so that's what we're going to do."
Aglialoro also noted that Cybex would focus more of its attention on the government, military, condominium and university markets as those markets expand. During the past 10 years, he said that health clubs went from being 85 percent of the market to now being about 50 percent of the market. The growing side of the market is now in the military, government/municipalities (fire and police departments) and universities.
"So we see that the changing customer base is something we need to respond to," he said.
Aglialoro added that in the past 10 years, 80 percent to 90 percent of the revenues were coming from the United States market, but now the international market is opening up more, so the company will also expand its focus internationally.
Both North American and international sales were down for the company in the third quarter, but domestic sales were down 24 percent while international sales were down 6 percent.
Cybex's third quarter 2009 net sales figure was $29 million compared to$35.8 million for the same period last year. Cybex had net income for the quarter of $0.1 million compared to $0.3 million during the corresponding period last year.

DeVonte Dedmon woke bright and early Wednesday, his signed letter-of-intent in William and Mary football offices at 7 a.m.
"I wanted to be a part of the family early," Dedmon said.
Truth be told, the Williamsburg native and Warhill High standout was already plenty familiar with the school and its football program.
Dedmon attended W&M's annual Colonial All-Pro football camp beginning in fifth grade. He has known the Tribe's veteran coaching staff for years. He watched cousin and former W&M All-American B.W. Webb prowl the field at Zable Stadium.
"It felt like I was already part of the family," Dedmon said.
Dedmon and close friend Jahlil Green from Lafayette gave National Signing Day at Tribe World Football Headquarters a local flavor. The two area prospects, as well as defensive back Rashaad Goodwyn from state champ Dinwiddie, are among the centerpieces of W&M's 15-member recruiting class for 2014.
"They're very good players, very good students," said head coach Jimmye Laycock, who was thrilled to land a couple of quality hometown prospects.
"They know a lot about us," Laycock said. "They've grown up around us. Sometimes, that makes kids see things or anticipate things that aren't very good, but they saw it as all good and they felt very good about it. I was very pleased that those guys that knew that much about us wanted to come here for all the right reasons, and I think that speaks very highly of William and Mary."
Dedmon and Green were among the area's most productive players. Dedmon, 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, totaled 1,514 yards and 19 touchdowns in just six games, in a season limited by injuries.
Green, 5-10 and 180 pounds, rushed for 2,055 yards and 34 touchdowns for the Rams' state quarterfinalist. The two played youth football together, and their families have been friends for years.
Dedmon chose W&M over Richmond and James Madison and said he had scholarship offers from Hampton, Norfolk State, and interest from Old Dominion.
"It's the chance to play for a great program and get a great education," Dedmon said. "If you get a degree from William and Mary, there's no telling what you can do with your life."
Green originally committed to Richmond last summer, but withdrew the commitment and reopened the recruiting process. He said that the more he spoke with assistant coach David Corley Jr. and Laycock, and the more familiar he became with the program and the school, it felt like the right fit.
Green said that he also had scholarship offers from James Madison, Bucknell, Ohio U., Marshall, Towson, VMI and Holy Cross. He said that interest from JMU waned after its coaching change. He still considered Richmond, but committed to W&M and made good on his commitment Wednesday.
"I talked with a lot of the recruits and they're excited about the class coming in," Green said. "With the current players, I get the vibe that they see me as part of the team already. They treat me with a lot of love."
Both said that W&M's coaches have told them that potentially they could get playing time as freshmen. Dedmon is a little faster and quicker — he is a sub-11-second 100-meter sprinter — while Green is more powerful, but equally capable of eluding defenders.
Goodwyn, 6-1 and 195 pounds, was one of the ringleaders of a Dinwiddie team that went 15-0 and won the Class 4A state championship. He finished with 121 tackles and two interceptions for a team that limited five playoff opponents to a total of 28 points. He was named Touchdown Club of Richmond's high school Defensive Player of the Year.
The Tribe balanced the signing class, with at least one player at every position and multiple linemen. Laycock said that they didn't have to recruit for immediate need, because of returning depth and the fact that they were able to redshirt last year's entire freshman class.
"It's not like we said we had to find somebody to play right away," he said. "We're not in that situation. … But I wouldn't be surprised if a few of these guys weren't pushing for playing time. Then again, you never know."
All Green and Dedmon ask is an opportunity.
"I need to get familiar with the playbook," Dedmon said, "and the rest will take care of itself."

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are opening modestly higher on Wall Street as investors keep a close eye on a meeting of global finance ministers in Moscow.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 18 points to 13,992 shortly after the opening bell Friday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up two points at 1,523. The Nasdaq composite rose four points to 3,202.
Currency policy will be high on the agenda at the meeting of the Group of 20 finance ministers. Japan's currency will be of particular interest because the country has been forcing the yen's value lower.
Herbalife rose 12 percent after billionaire investor Carl Icahn disclosed that he had accumulated a 13 percent stake in the company. Rival financier William Ackman has accused the company of being an elaborate pyramid scheme.

Fr. Brian Doerr, Vice Rector of Mount St. Mary's Seminary
"And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow."
Matthew 28:3
The significance, the majestic and incompressible significance of this most Sacred Day, is expressed somewhat closely (but even still inadequately) by an ancient text that some attribute to St. Ambrose of Milan and that others believe is even more ancient.
As the Easter Liturgy of the Church begins, the sacred fire, the Light of Christ, now glowing atop the Paschal Candle, enters the nave of the Church and is taken to the Ambo and is incensed. The minister, a Deacon of the Word, vested in a white dalmatic, calls to our mind the angel of the Gospel, who stood next to the empty tomb to proclaim to all the world the joyful news, "He is risen, as He said!" The Sacred Scripture records, "And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothing was white as snow" (Matthew 28:3).
And the angelic Deacon begins to proclaim one of the most beautifully profound texts preserved by the Church: "Exalt! Let them exalt, hosts of heaven… Be glad! Let the earth be glad… Rejoice! Let Mother Church exalt!
What follows has the power to destroy the grip of the Evil One over all the world! The text continues to proclaim "the awesome glory of this holy night," the night that saw the work of Christ complete, the work that "paid Adam's debt" and "wiped clean the record of our ancient sinfulness." "This is the night, when Christ broke the prison bars of death and rose victorious from the underworld" "THIS," the text demands, "This is the night!"
And, in the midst of the power and glory and triumph of so great a risen Savior crashing forth upon the earth, the text turns radically to a truth so beautiful, so tender, that those who listen and truly hear, men or women, girl or boy, feel tears dripping down their face: "O love, O charity beyond all telling, to ransom a slave you gave away your Son!"
What is this proclamation? One's mind returns to the desert where nomads traveled about and are caught or raided by a marauding party and you, a worthless slave, is manhandled and taken from your master and his tribe. Contemplating the violence, abuse and, perhaps, death to come, you are succumb to a dark and hopeless despair. Then it happens: you look up from the darkness, utterly stunned to see your master at the edge of the camp, ready to exchange his own son into slavery to win your release. It is not comprehensible! Nobody would believe it; you, yourself, do not even believe it.
And yet, that is what we proclaim! Man, you and me, captured by so great an enemy as Satan, a fallen-spirit of Archangelic Power, tears us from the life of the Father… who, in turn, pursues us over the centuries until he approaches us, at the edge of Satan's camp… and with an unfathomable depth of love, comes before us, beaten down and enslaved as we are, and makes the offer of His Son for YOU. Sweet unfathomable exchange! His life for your life; too great for us even to conceive.
What good would life had been to us, had Christ not come to us as our redeemer!
Lord Jesus, thank You for the brightness of Your light and for ransoming us back from slavery to freedom. You have gives us new life in You. May we forever live in Your life and love. Amen.
Acts 10:34, 37-43; Ps 118: 1-2, 16-17, 22-23; Col 3:1-9 or 1 Cor 5:6-8; Jn 20:1-9 or Mt 28: 1-10

Man shot while robbing grocery store is sentenced
Man shot while robbing grocery store is sentenced
A man shot by a customer while robbing an Aldi food store was sentenced Thursday.
Dierre Cotton will serve eight years in prison and seven more on probation.
Cotton was arrested after an attempt to rob the grocery store at 76th Street and Villard Avenue last year.
He was stopped when a customer opened fire, hitting Cotton.
The district attorney ruled the customer was acting in self-defense, and he was not charged.
Cotton's sister said the sentence was unfair.
"I just feel like they gave him too much time. He can't get a chance to correct himself. There is nothing else to do now," said Dawnesha Cotton said.
His family said it will appeal.

Making connections. Enjoying the adventure.
Peer mentorship. Academic support. Friendship. Fun activities. And don't forget the free food. These are just some of the benefits students get to enjoy as participants of Connect Four -- a program designed to give first-year students of color in the College of Human Sciences the opportunity to meet new people and learn about life at Iowa State.
Connect Four is all about what its name implies -- connections. Just ask Brian Le, senior in kinesiology. Said Le, "Connect Four gave me an opportunity to get to know people better because you don't always get the chance in a lecture hall setting to actually talk to someone. Also, getting to know the people who are in charge of Connect Four has helped me fit into Iowa State greatly."
From weekly meetings to résumé-building seminars, Connect Four helps students feel at home during their Iowa State adventure. But it also helps students prepare for their adventure after college. Said participant Markus Flynn, junior in kinesiology, "The one thing that benefited me the most was the relationship I've built with faculty who run the program. They've written me countless letters of recommendation."
At Iowa State, groups like Connect Four and our dozens of learning communities exist to help students fit in on campus right away. And there are countless reasons to join these groups. Said Le, "These programs will help you have a smooth transition into college and prepare you for after graduation." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
