, June 16, 2013 tekdad | The Mulewhipper flat out smashes , I've got to witness several huge bombs these last couple of years. Personally with the hard as a rock balls we use in league I like to use a Utrip bat, not only because of the durability issue but also because I think that most senior bats flex way to much thus sacrificing some distance when used by a player with fast hands and strength like the M whipper. We have a player on our team who uses the white Combat Centurian who hits some of the longest balls I have ever seen , he has had no durability issues and also has extremely fast hands but is not near as big nor do I think has the strength of Mwhipper. Another teammate bought the Centurian from Corky that was made in the Great White North, pulled it out and hit some bombs. He was trying to get the team to sing " Oh Canada" after the game. Lol. I will say after watching other big hitters and testing the bats I am anxious to get the new GSC bat in M whippers hands. I truly feel that it will out perform any senior bat out there and has the durability of a Utrip bat if not better.. We'll see soon .. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there... Troy E |

, April 12, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: P413 revisited To Jeff , Thanks for the clarification , the bats are very live indeed . I said the same about the Double Wall in the early 90's as I walked away from competitive softball.. It is cool seeing the prideful smile on a seniors face after hitting the longest ball he has ever hit in the " Bucket List " years of his playing career.. Priceless.. Good luck this year and give the GSC bat a shot , if performance is something your not worried about then the durability itself makes this bat the best value around.. Troy E |
, April 12, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: P413 revisited To JDub What does stoooopid mean ? You seem to like to chime in on various posts with cocky remarks.. I'm thinking you must be this omnipotent ( big time softball player ).. Been many years since I've heard a grown man use words like you do . Way to represent JDub ,.. Lol |
, April 11, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: P413 revisited I Have swung the GSC Bat extensively and found it to be comparable if not better performing then the other senior bats I have used. Durability on the other hand is off the charts. I know that players in my area are anxiously waiting it's arrival. They are also making an ASA Bat and quite possibly a USSSA/NSA model as well. Steve, Rev and the team are really on to something special here. My humble 2 cents, Troy E |
, April 11, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: what is the..... The Reebok Melee and Ultra 2 are good performers but lack seriously in durability. GSC is coming out with a bat I have personally tested and found it to be equal in performance to the above but totally in another world when it comes to durability. We hit 47/525 evil balls over 1100 swings and not a single rattle. Hands down the best all around performer I have seen. And with it's rolled end it is tamper proof. My 2 cents for what it's worth..

, March 12, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Athletics Senior Bats To SFTF, There were a few players as well as myself that took swings with the bat between games . There was a few prototype bats floating around Z3000's etc I recall and I don't remember seeing any of them being used during the games. I would think , correct me if I'm wrong that most players in a game situation would swing a bat that they are familiar with . And the fact like olie04 previously said the bat doesn't have a senior affiliation stamp might have something to do with it also . Once again , just my opinion ... Troy |
, March 11, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Athletics Senior Bats Taits , I see your from Fresno area , the past weekend tourney I previously spoke of was in Fresno . It was not very competitive . I don't think it was ssusa but some other affiliation . They allowed 2 he's per inning and singles after that . They used a ball called Spirit . A 44 core ball that didn't fly at all .. Anyway if your one of the players that had an issue with GSC , I would get in contact with them . I'm sure they will take care of you .. Troy |
, March 11, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Athletics Senior Bats To 0 Actually just took some swings with the prototype . Like I stated before , I have a a good friend who is new with the company and take his word as gold . I have had so much trouble with durability on the senior bats . In fact this past weekend my team broke 2 reeboks , a black and orange worth and an ultra 2 . This was our 2nd tourney of the year . Since I tried the GSC bat and know it's much more durable than the others , I'm sold and waiting for it to be released . It seems to be a great bat with weight options available. In case your wondering , there is no incentive for posts , just the truth to the best if my knowledge . I left a number on my previous post , so maybe give Rev a call and he can answer more of your questions . I'm a player just like you ... Troy |

, March 11, 2013 tekdad | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Bat/ball combos of yesteryear USMC, Being a former service man myself , I must warn you . Many great hitters have come out of NorCal and even though we have had our differences at times , I must say that Tim along with Rev are probably two of the best right handed hitters to come out NorCal. Tim never really had the physical gifts of others but he worked hard at the game . He defined spinning the ball , a term I hear from many even the younger generation. I bet they don't have a clue where it came from .. Lol Tim is truly a pioneer of the game up here and probably the most " technical" or fundamental hitter around ... Thanks for your device and good luck this year ... Troy |
, March 11, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Athletics Senior Bats To 0 I misread your reply . I'm reading and responding from my iPhone and the threads are not easy to read .. Sorry .. Dan Arevolos would be the person to contact (530) 304-9816 . I heard they are having some of the bats to try in Lincoln , near Sacramento at a senior tourney this weekend . Man I'm too sorry for giving you my softball bio when you didn't ask for it ... Lol . |
, March 11, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Athletics Senior Bats To 0 , I started out playing All Navy softball in the mid 80's , 1988-1989 Classic Glass Softball San Jose , Ca , 1991-1993 Dan Smith San Jose , Ca, 1994-1997 Classic Glass .. 1997- 2006 married life , 2007 Underestimated 40 , 2009 12 Angry men , 2010 Class Act Softball 2011-2012 dnp 2013 Extreme Performance Audio ( if it happens )... Lol. Please don't hate on me , I only gave my honest opinion in a bat and don't claim to be a top player .. I hope that answers your questions .. Thanks , Troy |
, March 11, 2013 tekdad | Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Athletics Senior Bats Respectfully , Gentlemen , concerning the GSC bat . I was only given my honest opinion . I got a chance to swing the bat and think highly of it , it hit extremely well and seems not to have durability issues like the other bats I have swung . Another issue in the game is altering , some guys even modify senior bats .. Lol . Really ? This bat has a rolled end in it thus discouraging "easy" tampering . I know someone will come up with a way to get into this bat eventually ," they always do " however , why make it easy . These are huge issues to myself and most of the players I play with . In my opinion , a bat company that will sell you a bat for $ 150-250 and offer no warranty ,, you get even 300 swings ( which is something I have never come close to getting ) and the thing breaks is robbery . Or are we just plain stupid for giving them our money for an extra 40-50' ? True I don't know what happened in the past with customer service or who was involved but I do know the prototype performed extremely good , the same bat ( which was relatively new at the time) I swung is still in action and performing great , and I can attest that some of the guys that I heard from that have used the bat are some of Norcal's finest hitters , I have great respect for a couple of the GSC team members and consider their word gold, they are GOD fearing which personally in these times means much to me and last but not least , these other companies , Miken , Reebok , Worth and Combat have been selling us bats for years , and what ? you get a few hundred swings and toss it in the garbage then order a new one ? I personally can't wait for this bat to be released , I have 6 other senior bats in my closet that are cracked or broken , myself I don't toss them so I can remember what not to do with my hard earned $$ . Do what you got to do , I'm ready for a change . Thanks for your time and good luck this year .. Troy |

Product Details
The guaranteed industry leading low resistor tolerance error feature simplifies open-loop applications as well as precision calibration and tolerance matching applications.
The AD5291 and AD5292 device wiper settings are controllable through the SPI digital interface. Unlimited adjustments are allowed before programming the resistance value into the 20-TP memory. The AD5291 and AD5292 do not require any external voltage supply to facilitate fuse blow, and there are 20 opportunities for permanent programming. During 20-TP activation, a permanent blow fuse command freezes the wiper position (analogous to placing epoxy on a mechanical trimmer).
The AD5291 and AD5292 are available in a compact 14-lead TSSOP package. The part is guaranteed to operate over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +105°C.
The AD5292-EP supports defense and aerospace applications (AQEC)

19 May Speak From The Heart
What's Your Heart Saying?
The Practice:
Speak from the heart.
One Christmas I hiked down into the Grand Canyon, whose bottom lay a vertical mile below the rim. Its walls were layered like a cake, and a foot-high stripe of red or gray rock indicated a million-plus years of erosion by the Colorado river. Think of water – so soft and gentle – gradually carving through the hardest stone to reveal great beauty. Sometimes what seems weakest is actually most powerful.
In the same way, speaking from an open heart can seem so vulnerable yet be the strongest move of all. Naming the truth – in particular the facts of one's experience, which no one can disprove – with simplicity and sincerity, and without contentiousness or blame, has great moral force. You can see the effects writ small and large, from a child telling her parents "I feel bad when you fight" to the profound impact of people describing the atrocities they suffered in Kosovo or Rwanda.
I met recently with a man whose marriage is being smothered by the weight of everything unsaid. What's unnamed is all normal-range stuff – like wishing his wife were less irritable with their children, and more affectionate with him – but there's been a kind of fear about facing it, as if it could blow up the relationship. But not talking is what's actually blowing up their relationship – and in fact, when people do communicate in a heartfelt way, it's dignified and compelling, and it usually evokes support and open-heartedness from others.
This week, look for one or more opportunities to speak from your heart. Pick a topic, a person, and a moment that's likely to go well.
Before you talk:
- Ground yourself in good intentions. To discover and express the truth, whatever it is. To help yourself and the other person.
- Get a basic sense of what you want to say. Focus on your experience: thoughts, feelings, body sensations, wants, memories, images, the dynamic flow through awareness; it's hard to argue with your experience, but easy to get into wrangles about situations, events, the past, or problem-solving.
- Be confident. Have faith in your sincerity, and in the truth itself. Recognize that others may not like what you have to say, but you have a right to say it without needing to justify it; and that saying it is probably good for your relationship.
When you speak:
- Take a breath and settle into your body.
- Recall being with people who care about you. (This will help deepen your sense of inner strength, and warm up the neural circuits of wholeheartedness.)
- Soften your throat, eyes, chest, and heart. Try to find a sense of goodwill, even compassion for the other person.
- Bring to mind what you want to say.
- Take another breath, and start speaking.
- Try to stay in touch with your experience as you express it. Don't get into any sense of persuasion, justification, defensiveness, or problem-solving. (That's for later, if at all.) Be direct and to the point; when people truly speak from the heart, they often say what needs to be said in a few minutes or less; it's the "case" wrapped around the heart of the matter that takes all those extra words.
- Keep coming back to the essential point for you, whatever it is (especially if the other person gets reactive or tries to shift the topic). And feel free to disengage if the other person is just not ready to hear you; maybe another time would be better. "Success" here is not getting the other person to change, but you expressing yourself.
- As appropriate, open to and encourage the other person speaking from the heart, too.
And afterwards: know that whatever happened, you did a good thing. It's brave and it's hard (especially at first) to speak from the heart. But so necessary to make this world a better place.

I made this with grated ice instead of water to freeze & make a slushy. I wasn't sure how the basil, berries and honey would come together, but it is very refreshing. I reduced the berries a little bit on the 2nd batch to bring out more of the basil flavor.
I made this again with blueberries. This time it was very good. Used 2T organic honey, 3T simple sugar and a dash of ginger powder for something different. My son loves this. Great desert for a little boy with severe food allergies.
Pretty good recipe overall. I used raspberries. I should have strained the seeds but it wasn't a show stopper. I used simple syrup from Trader Joe's for a lighter sweetener. Also increased the basil to about 1/2 cup. Great recipe for and alternative to the standard pesto for your summer garden basil. Next time I will use blueberries.
Awesome! I used a lemon because I did not have a lime, and it was delicious. It's so easy and healthy.
What can I say? It tastes like blended up blueberries. I added some pineapple the second time around. This recipe definitely needs some pineapple.

They survived, the R32 did not. But the 4Motion lives on in a MK4 Jetta coupe. You heard right.AdvertisementThe ol' Waterfest/H20/Motorstadt crowd may recall 1552 Design's Project X, which the shop chopped a Jetta sedan into the coupe many wished VW would build.This Kiwi project employs the guts from that lost R32—the carcass of which the builder acquired from the previous owner—in the service of a Mk4 Jetta Coupe 4 Motion R32 Turbo build. A noble effort indeed.AdvertisementAs Build Threads explains, to build a MK4 Jetta coupe, you must take the doors from a Golf three-door hatch (they're longer), move the B-pillar to accommodate the new portals, "then fill in the gap between the door and the rear quarter panel." Easy.Not so much. Follow the thread on Vask.org for the gory details. It's not done yet, so you might want to bookmark it for future lurkage.

Trip Start
Apr 07, 2012
Trip End
Dec 15, 2012
"Succeed. How?" - J.Breen philosophy (2007)
"Go to your home ... Guinea-Bissau!" - J.Breen philosophy (2012)
If one were going to Guinea-Bissau for the first time, and he read the U.S. State Dept.'s "information for travelers" posted on the internet, a shiver of fright would pass through his bones. At least, that was what happened to me.
The U.S. State Dept. made it sound as if, just by entering Guinea-Bissau, a person would get thrown in prison and no American would hear from him again. Crime was apparently rampant, and the State Dept. advised against showing "any amount of currency" in public. How was one supposed to buy anything? There was no consulate to help Americans in Guinea-Bissau.
But, I had other sources of information.
Uncle Cheikh-Oumar in central Senegal, a military man, said Guinea-Bissau was synonamous with "drugs" and "drug trafficking". I shouldn't go there.
In southern Senegal, everyone claimed police roadblocks were prevalent in Guinea-Bissau. The police didn't even look for a road violation in soliciting bribes from people. They just said, "Give me money." Foreigners, black and white, were expected to pay $2 at every entrance to (and exit from?) towns.
The country was politically instable. A coup d'etat had taken place there this very year!
The Senegalese claimed the Guineans were highly uneducated, and this was the cause of so much crime and political fighting.
Apparently, many islands (in the Guinean archipelago I was going to) had no police presence whatsoever. Actually, this bit of information sounded nice to me.
I got the impression that Guinea-Bissau was a dark place in which jungle - a jungle filled with landmines - hung over everything. Soldiers with muscles bursting out of their uniforms blocked your way with guns. Uneducated men lurked in the capital, looking to victimize people who had money.
Gulp. I was scared. Nevertheless, there was no question about it.
I was going to enter this country!
On August 2nd, I left Nfally Souane's house in southern Senegal and walked to the transit station. I bought myself a ticket to Bissau City in a sept-place taxi (a car with room for seven passengers).
The man who charged us for our baggage took one look at me and tried to rip me off. Actually, he ripped off everyone. I told him I wouldn't travel, in that case. This man, with a big and surly head, threatened that I wouldn't travel out of the transit station this day. That was fine; I preferred to brave the hot sun and hitchhike. He yelled, as I was walking away, "Il faut courir!" (You'd better run!)
I got my ticket refunded. Outside, I caught a short ride from a trucker. Then, a sept-place taxi stopped and offered me a reasonable price to Bissau, which I accepted.
I wondered, was that big-headed guy a Muslim who was angry because he was fasting during Ramadan? He was probably Senegalese. I was pretty sure he had been the hostile one during our encounter, but I recognized that this had put me in a tense, defensive mood.
It had been my plan to ask the Guinean police for sympathy, to grant me free passage. But, I was now worried that I might assume an attitude that could get me into trouble. I decided that, at the first roadblock, I would silently pay if asked to. I had to make it safely to Bissau.
We passed customs and entered my destination country. Woohoo, Guinea-Bissau!
We continued through a jungly, low land full of waterholes and flowing puddles. Amid the jungle, people sat in front of their homes, still covered by pyramidal roofs made of straw or rusted tin. The large, square homes were made of packed red mud, or cement. In one town, little girls' hands entered the window of our stopped car to offer us cashews. I paid $1 for a small bag of the country's major export.
Whenever our car approached what seemed to be a police checkpoint, I put my hat over my eyes and pretended to be sleeping. After a brief stop, I felt the taxi moving on. Once, I was surprised by a checkpoint and didn't have time to hide. An elderly cop with a gentle face checked my passport. Handing it back to me, he pushed it into the face of the guy in front of me, for a joke. Ha ha! But, he didn't ask for any money.
So, I made it to Bissau. The Guineans there were upset to hear the Senegalese claimed their police solicited bribes.
I would spend the night in the suburb of Sao Paolo, in the home of a friend of a friend. A bumpy dirt road led from the capital, passed through a marsh full of bright green reeds, and came to a collection of houses beneath palm trees and above a swampy lake. There was no electricity in my host's home (maybe in the whole suburb?). I showered outside with a bucket of water, inside walls of sheet metal which didn't completely conceal me ... while it was raining.
And the following day, I caught the ferry. To the Archipelago of the Bijagos. My final destination. With $70 in my pocket.
I paid $20 to rent a room for a month.
That was more expensive than some rooms in Senegal, despite the fact that Guinea-Bissau was a poorer country. (My Aunt Kim found information suggesting it was the world's 5th poorest country. That was pretty elite company.) Yet, I felt I'd gotten a pretty good deal, because the room came with a mattress and mosquito net. It, of course, had no electricity.
Actually, I was being helped by the friend of a friend of a friend. In West Africa, it was good to have money. But, it was even better to have friends. This new friend's wife had her tiny daughter bring me rice and fish every day, and a bucket to shower with.
At first, it was difficult to get used to this poor life. But, I soon felt comfortable.
Seated in front of my room, I could ponder palm trees and patches of jungle. That was all there was to do.
Just kidding. Though the overwhelming trees made it feel like I was in the countryside, there was actually a village of 7000 people surrounding me. Walking its dirt paths, I greeted and was greeted by nearly everybody. The people here were among the world's friendliest.
They also seemed intelligent. Speaking the Portuguese of their colonizers, they told me stories of airplanes landing with shipments of drugs from Colombia. They explained that the year's coup d'etat had been a peaceful assumption of power by the military, and was supported by the people. Democratic elections were to take place afterwards; but, they hadn't yet.
Most of the islanders had nothing to do with drugs or politics, though. They were fishermen.
So, why had I chosen the Archipelago of the Bijagos?
The archipelago's inhabitants, the Bijagos, had mostly maintained their traditional religious beliefs. In addition, theirs was one of only a few matriarchal societies in the world. This meant, among other things, that both men and women could become village chiefs.
I began living on $1 or $2 a day, and looking for work. I would stay here for as close to three months as I could.
Top 5, baby!
peace from the islands,
Modern Oddyseus
Thanks to Yunus Saliou & a little boy for the ride!
Much thanks to Seydi, Mama, Seli, Mam-baba, another girl, & the twins for the place to stay!

VIDEO: Lance Stephenson gives LeBron James a slap in the face
More postseason coverage: Playoff schedule, results | Latest news, notes
It didn't stop with breathing in his ear. In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday, Lance Stephenson decided to give LeBron James a little, literal slap in the face. James did not appreciate it:
LeBron to Lance: "Don't f---ing touch me."
— Gregg Doyel (@GreggDoyelCBS) May 31, 2014
It's early, but these two have already been very physical with each other and they haven't stopped jawing. It feels like it's personal now.
The Heat lead the Pacers 24-13 at the end of the first quarter. James has 11 points on 5-for-7 shooting, while Stephenson has six points on 2-for-4 shooting. Miami finished the quarter on a 22-4 run.

The indispensible literature blog milorambles has posted a spectacular review of Otto De Kat's Julia:
Beautifully translated by Ina Rilke cialis prescription – a prize winning translator of books including Cees Nooteboom and Margriet de Moor – Julia is a veritable work of art. Weighing in at a little under 200 pages my only negative comment would be with its size, I simply fell in love with the book and like all good relationships I wanted more. It was
over far too soon. The prose is an example of one of the most beautiful and heart felt books I've had the pleasure of reading this year. There's something magical about it that simply draws you in, the combination of storytelling, a love lost and a country at the most uncertain of times effortlessly holding your attention throughout. . . It's very rare for me to give marks out of five or ten for any review but this book – for me – is faultless. With that in mind there's craigslist cialis only one score I could award this bph cialis wonderfully evocative tale of lost love – 5 out of 5. I can't say much more generic viagra online than buy viagra online that. If you're looking for a little escapism on a dreary winter's night then look no further than Julia by Otto de Kat, beautifully written, you won't be sorry.

Felony charges were dismissed Monday in Lucas County Common Pleas Court against two Toledo brothers arrested this year after a shooting outside a now-shuttered North Summit Street bar.
Rhaymoun Villolovos, 20, and Richard Villolovos, 22, both of 3460 Rock Ct., were charged with five counts each of felonious assault with gun specifications for the Feb. 6 shooting outside Mugshots. Judge Linda Jennings dismissed the case at the request of the prosecutor's office.
The assistant county prosecutor said that although the investigation initially led to the two men, witnesses have not since been able to identify them as the shooters. Six people were injured in the shootings, which resulted in a Toledo Municipal Court judge ordering the bar be closed as a city nuisance.

The cause of intracranial bleeding (hemorrhage) usually is a head injury, often resulting from automobile, motorcycle or bicycle accidents, falls, assaults, and sports injuries. Mild head trauma is more likely to cause a hematoma if you're an older adult, especially if you're taking an anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin. You can have a serious injury even if there's no open wound, bruise or other outward sign of damage.
A hematoma may occur as a subdural hematoma, an epidural hematoma or an intraparenchymal hematoma.
This occurs when blood vessels — usually veins — rupture between your brain and the outermost of three membrane layers that cover your brain (dura mater). The leaking blood forms a hematoma that compresses the brain tissue. If the hematoma keeps enlarging, a progressive decline in consciousness occurs, possibly resulting in death.
The three types of subdural hematomas are:
All three types require medical attention as soon as signs and symptoms appear, or permanent brain damage may result.
The risk of subdural hematoma is greater for people who:
Also called an extradural hematoma, this type occurs when a blood vessel — usually an artery — ruptures between the outer surface of the dura mater and the skull. Blood then leaks between the dura mater and the skull to form a mass that compresses the brain tissue.
Some people with this type of injury remain conscious, but most become drowsy or comatose from the moment of trauma. An epidural hematoma that affects an artery in your brain can be deadly unless you get prompt treatment.
This type of hematoma, also known as intracerebral hematoma, occurs when blood pools in the brain. After a head trauma, there may be multiple severe intraparenchymal hematomas.
The trauma that causes intraparenchymal hematomas often is responsible for so-called white matter shear injuries — torn axons in the brain's white matter. Axons carry electrical impulses, or messages, from the neurons in the brain to the rest of the body. When this connection is sheared, serious brain damage can result.

While Man of Steel ended up being one of the most divisive blockbusters of 2013, it's hard to deny its success. Made for an expensive $225 million, the film wound up being a great investment for the folks at Warner Bros., as the Superman film wound up making nearly $670 million worldwide. The high grosses were enough to secure director Zack Snyder the job of helming the sequel, the still untitled Batman vs. Superman, and now comes news that he has secured the job of directing the Justice League movie as well.
The news comes from The Wall Street Journal, which picked up the hot scoop from none other than Warner Bros. President of Worldwide Production Greg Silverman. In addition to confirming that Snyder will direct Justice League, the report also adds that a script is being written and that Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot are expected to reprise their roles as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, respectively. There is no release date currently set, but at this time we shouldn't expect the finished product to be out before 2018 (two years after Batman vs. Superman). Said Silverman of the project, "It will be a further expansion of this universe. Superman vs Batman will lead into Justice League." The report also notes that the search is already on for other heroes for the expanded comic book cinematic universe, referencing the casting of theater actor Ray Fisher as Cyborg this past week. The source doesn't have any insight about any other superhero characters we might see eventually join the team, but key Justice League players from the comics include Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Aqua Man - none of whom have been cast yet. In addition to all of the Justice League talk, the article also has a small tidbit about the development of a Wonder Woman solo film. Speculation about the potential project began in January when it was revealed that Gal Gadot had signed a three picture deal to play Princess Diana of Themyscira. Judging from WSJ's report, that film - if it happens - won't be until after Justice League. Asked about the potential for a Wonder Woman solo movie, Warner Bros. President of Worldwide Marketing Sue Kroll responded, "That is our hope. With the right script, that could be viable. The world is ready for her." The big news here, of course, is Snyder's hiring. While fans will likely be very divided on this news, it's hard to argue that it's not a potentially good sign for Batman vs. Superman, given that the studio obviously has confidence in the filmmaker's abilities. But now I want to hear what you have to say. Are you excited about Zack Snyder directing the Justice League movie? Answer our poll below! Are you excited that Zack Snyder is directing Justice League?

Legendary "New York Times" bestselling author Elmore Leonard returns with three of his favorite characters: Jack Foley from "Out of Sight," Cundo Rey from "Labrava," and Dawn Navarro from "Riding the Rap."
Jack Foley is serving a thirty-year sentence in a Miami penitentiary, but he's made an unlikely friend on the inside who just might be able to do something about that. Fellow inmate Cundo Rey, an extremely wealthy Cuban criminal, arranges for Foley's sentence to be reduced from thirty years to three months, and when Jack is released just two weeks ahead of Cundo, he agrees to wait for him in Venice Beach, California.
Also waiting for Cundo is his common-law wife, Dawn Navarro, a professional psychic with a slightly ulterior motive for staying with Cundo: she wants his money. And with the arrival of Jack, she sees the perfect partner in a plan to relieve Cundo of his fortune. Cundo may be Jack's friend, but does that mean he can trust him? And can either of them trust Dawn?
"Road Dogs" is Elmore Leonard at his best and readers will love seeing Cundo, Jack, and Dawn back in action and working together . . . or are they?

/// Yahoo Says Lockerz's CEO Savitt to Join as Marketing Chief
Businessweek – Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO), owner of the largest U.S. Web portal, named Kathy Savitt, founder of social-commerce startup Lockerz Inc. and a former executive at American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (AEO), as chief marketing officer.
Savitt will leave as chief executive officer of Lockerz to join Yahoo next month, reporting to Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer, who arrived in July from Google Inc. Savitt previously was marketing chief at teen-apparel chain American Eagle and worked at Amazon.com Inc., Yahoo said in a statement yesterday.
Mayer — Yahoo's fifth CEO in three years — is hiring new people and seeking fresh ways to bolster growth as rivals Facebook Inc. (FB) and Google gain ground with Internet users and advertisers. The company has posted three straight years of revenue declines amid turnover in the executive ranks.
"We are very excited to welcome Kathy to Yahoo," Mayer said in the statement. "Her extensive experience in building and refining well-loved consumer brands like Amazon, American Eagle Outfitters and Lockerz will be incredibly valuable as we define Yahoo's future."
Yahoo, based in Sunnyvale, California, fell less than 1 percent to $14.72 at the close in New York. The shares have declined 8.7 percent this year.
After she joins Yahoo, Savitt will become chairman of Lockerz's board, and Chief Operating Officer Mark Stabingas will become CEO, the Seattle-based startup said in an e-mailed statement. The company's investors include Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Liberty Media Corp.

25% off Lightweight Hoodies & Lightweight Sweatshirts. Use LETSRIDE
I was not born with these lines,
They accumulated with time.
Everything begins clean and neat,
White as a brand new sheet.
But overtime life collects stains
After years of learning pain.
But we learn to stand after falling on our knees.
From fresh new sprouts we become trees.
As mentioned in Wish I've had a string of misfortune this year. One of the misfortunes was losing a collection of my origami which fell out of my knapsack one very hectic day at school, and later in the evening the custodians mistook it for garbage and threw it away. It was not too long after that incident that along with Freedom, I made Timeline; a piece big enough to appreciate in real life, but still have the quality of the miniature folding in it.
Here is a look of the entire chain from above:
This is sort of like Fly except each cranes is a different size, gradually getting smaller and whiter from one end to the other. I did a graded shade on a sheet of trace paper before cutting squares from them. It took me a while to come up with a way to photograph this. I didn't want it to be another Fly, and eventually I got this result. While the smallest crane (which was from a square measuring 5×5mm) is out of focus, I think it is understandable what is happening…
And thank you to everyone who left me encouraging comments on Wish and who have prayed for me. Of all the years I have lived, this one has been the roughest; my family and I have been going through a lot of strife this year. Life is a long journey and not an easy one.

Fantastic Mui-Ling, how sweetie how are you?? I love this one..I was showing some people your art not to long ago,they were really impressed…Hope your holidays are great.take care.
Thank you so much Vickie. Well as I mention in the description, things have begun looking up after posting 'Wish', though there are still things that I am tending to. I'm hoping for a great improvement with the remainder of this year and the upcoming one.
AW Hun..I know that upset you…you have such beautiful art time in them for them not to see it is sad…love your work my friend hugggggggz
Thanks Thelma. Things have been really messed up this year and we're fixing one step at a time…
As always, your work shows an exceptional spirit and heart. You will survive these difficult times, and become an even stronger individual. Prayers are continuing♥
Mui-Ling your origami and photographs are fantastic! So glad you are posting back here on RB…Wishing you all the pleasures of the season…peace, joy and lots of creativity in the New Year! xox
Brilliant……. great lighting, composition everything.
You should be very proud of your work
Thank you Big-Keg. Previously my origami was more appreciated through photography than real life, and my work is somewhat more about the photography than the pieces themselves. I folded this after the incident where my collection was mistaken for garbage and got thrown away by the custodians. So I was inspired to make something that would be appreciated in real life than through photo. It seemed that made it harder to make a nice photo though and I was struggling with this one for some time so I'm glad you like it.

CINCINNATI (AP) The day before an execution, a federal appeals court ruled today to block that state from putting to death a man who killed a woman, cut her up and scattered her remains across two states.
Ohio prison workers still prepared for the execution of Kenneth Biros, 48, because the state appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a ruling to allow the lethal injection.
Biros was moved today to Ohio s death house at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, and prison workers will be ready to carry out the execution as scheduled Tuesday morning unless the Supreme Court stops it, prisons spokeswoman Andrea Dean said.
A 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel in Cincinnati refused the state s request to lift a lower court s order against the execution, saying Biros should be able to continue appealing a lawsuit with other inmates arguing that Ohio s method of lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment.
Biros lawyer, Timothy Sweeney, said if the U.S. Supreme Court allows the execution, Biros still has an appeal before the 6th Circuit that claims he was not convicted of an offense that merits the death penalty.
Other executions have been delayed in the past year because of the lethal injection lawsuit. However, former cult leader Jeffrey Lundgren was executed Oct. 24 despite his appeal.
The execution would be the first under Gov. Ted Strickland, who denied clemency on Friday.
Biros acknowledged he killed Tami Engstrom, 22, but said it was done during a drunken rage.
They met after work in 1991 at a tavern in Masury in northeast Ohio. Police believed she fled his advances, perhaps ran from his car and fell or was struck or was strangled when Biros tried to quiet her.

Hi, For a domain say: x.com I have disabled the cache in the litespeed webconsole: Configuration->Server->Cache->Do-Not-Cache Domains: Code: *.a.com,a.com,x.com,*.x.com the htaccess file for the domain is also set to: Code: RewriteRule .* - [E=Cache-Control:no-cache] The cache storage path is set to /lshttpd/diskcache and the folder have been cleared after the above settings have been made to ensure the cache was completely clear. Browsers cache/cookies have been cleared. Yet on the second load of the webpage I get the following: So as you can see the private cache is still being hit and LiteSpeed seems to be ignoring any of the settings both the HTTP headers and the configuration set in the web console.
it's because you enabled private cache. disable it and see: lsws admin console->Server->Cache->Enable Private Cache:No
Yes, yes, that is very true! What I want to do is disable the private cache for this specific domain. LiteSpeed should respect the options set as explained above. Interestingly enough it does seem to work now which I find a bit odd. Should setting the above settings, clearing the lshttpd diskcache and clearing the browser cache not result in the cache not being used right away?

WATKINS GLEN (AP) -- Authorities say the body of a 47-year-old man has been found a day after he was reported missing in the Finger Lakes region.
Police in Watkins Glen tell local media outlets that a search team found the body of Mark Mihalko of Rock Stream Thursday afternoon in a creek between railroad tracks and a canal.
Officials say his body has been taken to the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office in Rochester for an autopsy. Police don't suspect foul play in his death.
Authorities say Mihalko was last seen Wednesday at his parents' home in Watkins Glen, located on the southern end of Seneca Lake.
Police launched a ground and air search and spent several hours looking for him before his body was spotted in the creek.

Transplanting Gene into Injured Hearts Creates Biological Pacemakers
Researchers Develop First Minimally Invasive Gene Therapy Procedure to Treat Heart Rhythm Disorders by Transforming Ordinary Heart Muscle Cells into Specialized Rhythm-Keeping Cells, Potentially Eliminating Future Need for Electronic Pacemakers
Los Angeles - July 16, 2014 – Cardiologists at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute have developed a minimally invasive gene transplant procedure that changes unspecialized heart cells into "biological pacemaker" cells that keep the heart steadily beating.
The laboratory animal research, published online and in today's print edition of the peer-reviewed journal Science Translational Medicine, is the result of a dozen years of research with the goal of developing biological treatments for patients with heart rhythm disorders who currently are treated with surgically implanted pacemakers. In the United States, an estimated 300,000 patients receive pacemakers every year.
"We have been able, for the first time, to create a biological pacemaker using minimally invasive methods and to show that the biological pacemaker supports the demands of daily life," said Eduardo Marbán, MD, PhD, director of the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, who led the research team. "We also are the first to reprogram a heart cell in a living animal in order to effectively cure a disease."
These laboratory findings could lead to clinical trials for humans who have heart rhythm disorders but who suffer side effects, such as infection of the leads that connect the device to the heart, from implanted mechanical pacemakers.
Eugenio Cingolani, MD, the director of the Heart Institute's Cardiogenetics-Familial Arrhythmia Clinic who worked with Marbán on biological pacemaker research team, said that in the future, pacemaker cells also could help infants born with congenital heart block.
"Babies still in the womb cannot have a pacemaker, but we hope to work with fetal medicine specialists to create a life-saving catheter-based treatment for infants diagnosed with congenital heart block," Cingolani said. "It is possible that one day, we might be able to save lives by replacing hardware with an injection of genes."
"This work by Dr. Marbán and his team heralds a new era of gene therapy, in which genes are used not only to correct a deficiency disorder, but to actually turn one kind of cell into another type," said Shlomo Melmed, dean of the Cedars-Sinai faculty and the Helene A. and Philip E. Hixson Distinguished Chair in Investigative Medicine.
In the study, laboratory pigs with complete heart block were injected with the gene called TBX18 during a minimally invasive catheter procedure. On the second day after the gene was delivered to the animals' hearts, pigs who received the gene had significantly faster heartbeats than pigs who did not receive the gene. The stronger heartbeat persisted for the duration of the 14-day study.
"Originally, we thought that biological pacemaker cells could be a temporary bridge therapy for patients who had an infection in the implanted pacemaker area," Marbán said. "These results show us that with more research, we might be able to develop a long-lasting biological treatment for patients."
If future research is successful, Marbán said, the procedure could be ready for human clinical studies in about three years.

Hughes Is Hughes Tool Company, a client of our Houston office, was host to His Excellency Deng Xiaoping, Vice Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, Vice Premier Fang Li and other members of (he Chinese delegation that visited the United States earlier this year. Hughes Tool was one of only three manufacturing facilities toured by the mainland Chinese during their stay in this country. According to Gene Harris, DH&S partner in charge of the Hughes Tool engagement, the press party was so large — some 250 representatives of local, national and international communications media — that it was necessary to limit their number to a pool of sixty during the tour of the Hughes facilities. At least one of the reasons for the visit to the Houston headquarters of Hughes may have been the long-standing business relationship between Hughes Tool and the People's Republic of China. China is an important customer of Hughes in the Far East. Since 1973, it has been a In tab building, Hughes President James Lesch (light suit at left) pauses with H.C.

On St. Patrick's Day this year, I wore a vibrant solid green dress with the necklace pictured at left (the green highlights are reflections off my dress). It was given to me by my maternal grandmother, "Nani," Sara Melzina Wolfe Guokas Archibald, shortly after the Wolfe Family Reunion on June 28, 1997, in Montgomery, Texas (more on that in another post). My husband and I went out to eat in the evening and he commented that the necklace must be solid gold or at least gold-plated, because I leave it hanging with other necklaces in my closet and it never needs polishing. It's very typical of Nani to give me something that is quite valuable.
I will wear it on March 18 too in honor of what would have been Nani's 104th birthday.
I've written about my grandmother before in this blog (click on her name above); most recently about her cooking.
I missed Nani's 90th birthday party on March 23, 2007, in Houston (I was going through a messy divorce in Washington state at the time and could not afford to go), but I did make it to the family reunion that summer. The photo below is of family members who were at that surprise birthday party, along with at least 40 of her friends. On November 16 of that same year, she passed away from giant cell lymphoma. I still miss her.
About a month ago, I was contacted by a Wolfe descendant who saw my post about the Wolfe surname, and that prompted a lot of recent research on Wolfes that you'll be reading about here.

Tombstone Tuesday: James Shannon Wolfe, 1870-1949
photo by Gale Green Brister, from FindAGrave.com |
He's not on the 1870 census with his parents and older sister Emma (born 1869), which was taken in July. He's listed as age 8 on the 1880 census, taken in June. Both of these censuses were in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and show Shannon and his parents as born in Pennsylvania.
In 1900, he and his wife of five years, Annie (nee Volce) and two daughters are living with his step-father-in-law Victor Guerrero, in Houston, Texas. Shannon's birth is listed as April 1873, and his parents are listed as having been born in Ohio, so it's pretty clear he wasn't there to answer the census-taker's questions. He is shown to be a bricklayer.
In the 1910 census, taken in April, the family is living at 1405 Allston in Houston. Shannon's age could be 41, 42, or 44; it's hard to read. He's now a brickwork contractor. Oddly enough, he and Annie are both shown as being on their second marriages and only married nine years. However, Annie has given birth to three children, all living (son Joseph Shannon joined the family in 1902).
The 1920 census was taken in January, and the family is still at 1405 Allston. Shannon is listed as age 55, meaning he could have been born as early as 1865!. But then, his parents are listed as being born in Texas, which is also wrong. He is still a brickmason. Shannon's wife Annie and three grown/nearly-grown children are also at home. Shannon's brother Louis, my great-grandfather, and his four children are also living in the home, after they were all abandoned by my great-grandmother.
The 1930 census was taken in April. Shannon and Annie are empty-nesters at the same house. Shannon is listed as James S., age 61, but he's still a bricklayer. The Texas Death Index shows that James Shannon Wolfe died February 6, 1949, and that matches the date on his gravestone. His son was the informant on the death certificate and gives James Shannon's birthdate as October 24, 1868, but the names and birthplaces of his parents are not listed - which makes me think the informant may not been sure of the birth year either.
Until I can find more evidence, I think James Shannon Wolfe was born in 1870.

Hurricane Allen 1980 - 52 Weeks of Personal Genealogy & History - Disasters
Painted on boarded-up windows of downtown stores. |
Did you experience any natural disasters in your lifetime? Tell us about them.
Having spent most of the first 26 years of my life on or near coastal Texas, in Houston and Corpus Christi, hurricanes were often a threatening, impending disaster. I vaguely remember Dad hammering plywood up over the windows when I was young in preparation for various storms. But the one I remember most was Hurricane Allen in 1980.
This was a scary storm to watch approaching in satellite photos. The storm was HUGE, a Category 5 at most times, and completely filled the Gulf of Mexico. Corpus Christi residents began to prepare.
Mark's boat, The Wagon, up on blocks on Shoreline Blvd. |
The storm came ashore late Saturday and early Sunday, August 9-10. There was a storm surge up to 12 feet high, flooding, and wind damage. The sounds of the storm were very frightening. We spent most of it in the basement of the police headquarters, up on the Bluff, answering phone calls from panicked citizens.
Monday, August 11, I went back to work - at the time, I was with the city's Park and Recreation Department. The power was out and it was hot and humid, so I wore shorts and a t-shirt to work. The first order of business was pushing a couple inches of water out of our offices (one block off the seawall) - I used a downed parking sign to push water. The wind and waves pushed boats in the marina up against the seawall.
Later that day I rode out with our parks superintendent to take photos of damage on Corpus Christi Beach (aka North Beach), where more than 200 buildings (about 75%) were destroyed and two people drowned (the only deaths directly attributable to the storm). Other parks damage included many fishing piers and the destruction of the City Marina office:
After the storm, I spent some time as the City's liaison to a Red Cross Disaster Relief Center in Ben Garza Gym. Mark spent the next three years dealing with FEMA.

Tombstone Tuesday - Abram Wolfe, 1855 - 1907
OK, so this really isn't a tombstone, but it's not an obituary, either. Abram/Abraham Wolfe was the eighth and youngest child of William C. Wolfe (1820-1855) and Melinda Jane Smallwood Wolfe Peden (1823-1875), my third great-grandparents on my maternal grandmother's side. In fact, he was born almost two months after his father died, on May 30, 1855. He was raised by his stepfather, William Peden (born 1830), and spent most of the early years of his life in the community of California, in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
He married Emma J. Hoak (1869-1917) in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, on April 25, 1895. The 1900 census shows them living in Pittsburg in the same county, with son Elmer O'Neil Wolfe (1896-1964). His occupation is shown as "steamboat mate."
I had heard that Abram had drowned, but did not know the circumstances. A Google search on "abram wolfe drowned" pulled up the Reports of the [United States] Department of Commerce and Labor from 1909:
He died March 24, 1907, but I don't know if or where Abram is buried.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Every month I take a look at some of the most incredible PCs to have been created around the world. Computer modding is a growing hobby for many PC enthusiasts and many talented carpenters, metal workers and engineers are turning their skills to their PCs in their spare time. Some even become professional modders and create amazing works of art for PC companies to exhibit.
These dream PCs come in all shapes and sizes and are made from all-manner of different materials. Some look similar to normal PCs, while others are made from scratch and look like something out of Star Trek or from the set of Game of Thrones. Everyone has different tastes, but in the images below, I've picked three of my favorites that I've spotted in June. I've also added links to their respective owners' websites or project logs so you can even see how they were made.
First up is a project called Stainless Tower by a french welder that goes by the forum name JD Design. This breathtaking and elegant PC was made entirely from scratch quite literally from lumps of metal.
JD Design welded them together and had the arduous task of grinding and sanding the sections smooth, so they look as good as they do here. The black frame and chrome tubes are all custom made and polished.
The computer hardware includes water cooling components from Aquatuning, An Asus Republic of Gamers graphics card and Maximus VI Formula motherboard. You can see the whole project log over on bit-tech.
Our second project this month is called CL0S3 IMPACT and features a case called the Mercury S3 fom U.S. company CaseLabs, which has been modified by UK-based PC modder Daniel Harper who goes by the forum name B NEGATIVE.
The PC uses a high-end mini-ITX motherboard in the form of the Maximus VI Impact from motherboard manufacturer Asus, a custom-made reservoir for its water-cooling system and an AMD R9 290 graphics card. The processor, graphics card and hard disks are water-cooled.
The reservoir at the front of the case was custom-made by PC case manufacturer Parvum Systems which also creates its own custom acrylic cases. Daniel sprayed the case by dismantling it down to its individual components. You can read how Daniel made the PC in the complete project log at bit-tech.
The final project this month features a case made by Parvum Systems, whom we mentioned above. The PC was made by Malik Customs and both the Intel Core I5-4670K, and ASUS Nvidia GTX 770 graphics card have been water-cooled.

Mammoth trades dispersal draft pick (No. 3) to Swa
As we approach Friday's National Lacrosse Leauge dispersal draft of the Boston Blazers, lacrosse fans all over have been trying to figure out who would go where. Today, we have some news that will shake up the order just a bit. ILIndoor.com has learned that the Colorado Mammoth have sent the 3rd overall pick in Friday's dispersal draft to the Minnesota Swarm for defensemen John Sullivan, Rory Smith and forward Sean Pollock. With this trade, the Swarm will now have the 3rd and 4th overall pick from the Boston Blazers' roster and depending on who the Philadelphia Wings and Edmonton Rush choose, the Swarm are in a spot to acquire two fantastic players to improve their roster. It's expected that the Wings will take Dan Dawson with the first pick in Friday's draft but after that it's anyone's guess as to whom the Rush will take. Will they improve their back end and select Kyle Rubisch, solidify their goaltending with Anthony Cosmo or pick up an offensive threat like Casey Powell or Josh Sanderson? No matter what the Rush do, the Swarm will now have a shot of two of the remaining guys. Stay tuned to ILIndoor.com for more as this deal breaks.

No wolves in the walls or button-eyed parents in this story about a baby panda named Chu. Yet Gaiman builds suspense from the enigmatic opening sentence ("When Chu sneezed, bad things happened"), which frames a portrait of the roly-poly protagonist, decked out in a striped T-shirt, aviator cap, and goggles. Gaiman maximizes anxiety by having Chu visit a tranquil library ("There was old-book-dust in the air") and a crowded diner ("There was a lot of pepper in the air"). Twice, Chu's anxious parents ask, "Are you going to sneeze?" and itchy-nosed Chu—snapping his goggles over his eyes in preparation—does not follow through. That evening, under a big top whose performing animals echo the menagerie in Rex's Tree Ring Circus, Chu cannot resist, and his true power is revealed. Gaiman's comic timing gets a boost from strategic book design and from Rex's hyperreal paintings, which emphasize Chu's round, fuzzy form and apparent harmlessness. Gaiman and Rex deliver a classic one-two-three punch, making hay from the notion that a cuddly baby panda is not to be trusted. Ages 4–8. Agent: Merrilee Heifetz, Writers House.

I take many of photos of my garden flowers during Spring and Summer so I can remember their beauty during the cold months. The blooming season is now winding down and my rose blooms are dwindling to a precious few. I'll be happy to share some of my summer favorites as we head into winter. I hope you will find them as uplifting as I do.
