|I cut my fabric 24" x 14". In my mind, this was a nice size for placing across your lap. You can cut them the size you want.
|Run a line of glue stick along one side at a time and turn the hem in 1/4". (I was not really exact in turning. After all, these are going to be used to wipe dirty mouths! I just eyeballed the turn under.)
|Press the hem down. (Do only one side at a time.)
|Run another line of glue stick along the turned under hem and repeat turning and pressing. Now you have a double turned hem ready to sew.
|To reduce bulk in the corners, you can trim the corner before the second turn under. Sew your hem down on each side, pivoting at each corner.
TA-DAH! You're finished. Give it a try to see if it doesn't make the work of hemming much faster!

Hello friends, welcome to another walkabout with an author. Today, I’ll be speaking with Mann Ramblings. He started writing M/M fiction after finding Gay Authors.org about four years ago. Like a lot of others, he started out reading, but with a little push took a stab at writing on his own. After a fair amount of success and great feedback on Gay Authors, he found the nerve to submit for publishing.
His first M/M sci-fi thriller novel, The Luxorian Fugitive, was published by Wayward Ink Publishing in April 2015, and the second book in the series, A Cook’s Tale is tentatively scheduled for late fall of 2015. (The release date isn’t fixed yet as of this writing, but if you hook into his Facebook page or blog he’ll announce the details as they come.) He’s thrilled with the response to his work and looks forward to sharing a lot more.
CC: How do you write?
MR: I like having structure. Sitting down and writing without a clear direction and letting the story drive me where it will makes me want to scream. I brainstorm (often at work), take endless notes on any scrap piece of paper or board that crosses my path, make character traits lists, and ultimately make an elaborate outline. When I can see where all the pieces need to fit, I can flesh them out. I still allow for ideas and epiphanies to happen—I don’t ignore the muse. But when they appear, I rework the outline and make sure it all works. I recently acquired Scrivener and its organizing features make me happy. Knowing where I need to go in each chapter is essential to my sanity, such as it is.
CC: Where do you write?
MR: I wish I could say I have a designated office space to work in. I’ll write wherever my laptop can land successfully. The kitchen table or living room coffee table is often my makeshift desk. Even thought my area in the basement is certainly quiet enough, I don’t like being isolated from the activity in my home, which is quite the double edged sword. I don’t work well with distraction to the point where conversations around me (including from the tv) are destructive to the writing process. My brain attaches to anything of interest around me, so I snag every free moment of silence to work in. How do other authors listen to music while they write? I don’t get that at all. We have a secluded vacation home up north that I can be incredibly productive in. I wish I could be there more often.
CC: Why do you write?
MR: I’ve always wanted to tell stories. These days, I want to read the stories I never got to see growing up. I grew up when AIDS scared the hell out of everyone, and gays were just gaining a voice. Being gay was scary in those days. It took a long time to feel comfortable in my skin. Now that I am, I want to read books I can relate to. I want to see the hero run off with his sidekick, rather than watch him die and the hero get the girl. I want to meet characters that are dynamic and awesome, and just happen to be LGBT. Those are the stories I wish existed when I was still learning to like myself. Finding authors who understood the M/M genre in all its variety was valid made an instant connection for me. Even as a relatively new author, I’m proud to be part of it.
CC: Have you written characters that are someone you know?
MR: In the very first M/M story I wrote, Little Man currently residing on Gay Authors, I based some of the characters and their relationships off myself and people I knew in college. The physical descriptions were different but I used how we would react with one another to flesh out the interactions and make it as believable as I could. I even took events that happened in my real life and added them to the story. I feel like I was able to impart a great deal of dimension to the cast. Being the first one I wrote, it’s pretty rough and could stand some revision should I ever submit it for publication, but I still take a lot of pride in it.
CC: Is there a genre you haven’t written, but would like to explore?
SH: While all of my recent writing has been M/M focused, I like writing inside a number of genres. I’ve enjoyed contemporary, urban fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, but at some point I want to take a stab (no pun intended) at some gay erotic horror. I’m not even sure I have the aptitude for such a direction, but you never know. I’m not a fan of hack-and-slash and gore for titillation, but with the right story, it could be something amazing. It will take some doing to find a good balance, if and when I come up with something worthy. For me, vampires may fit that bill rather well… we shall see. There are so many stories to tell.
Thank you Mann, for taking the time out today to share how you write and how you got started. I can’t imagine writing in a silent place, but every writer is different. I’d feel naked without earbuds in. Learn more about Mann Ramblings at his social media destinations.
Come back next week, when I talk to Kaje Harper about what gets them to write.


The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has proposed new fees on containers moved through California seaports. On March 3, the SCAQMD adopted a “comprehensive clean air blueprint” that it said would improve the health and lives of all residents across its region by reducing ozone and particulate matter emissions as required by the federal Clean Air Act.
The SCAQMD said the plan seeks to reduce ozone to 80 parts per billion by 2023 by reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 45% from current rules and regulations, and an additional 10% reduction in NOx to meet a requirement to reduce ozone to 75 parts per billion by 2031. SCAQMD analysis indicates that it will take $1 billion per year over the next seven to 15 years. The SCAQMD said the amount of funding needed to achieve the NOx emission reductions associated with the further deployment of cleanest engine technologies proposed in California’s “mobile source strategy” and its air quality management plan is “on the order of $1 billion per year if funding is available beginning in 2017.” The SCAQMD may provide funds to create incentives to replace older, dirtier trucks, particularly those used to dray containers to and from the ports; increase the number of ships that are “cold ironing” or using shore power when in port; and to fund so-called “sock on a stack” systems, where exhaust fumes from ships are captured and cleaned while they are docked.
Since most containers through the Ports of LA, LB and Oakland are 40-ft containers, new fee proposals will range between $70 to $200 per container, which can be significant enough, say to drive discretionary intermodal rail cargo to other ports, such as to the Pacific Northwest or Canada.
In the case of ports like Oakland, which generate significant local exports within their catchment areas, these fees might be significant in making US exports less competitive if there are reductions in ocean service. This could impact exporters as they may not have economically viable routing alternatives to markets in Asia. In fact, the State of California as a whole is a huge manufacturing center, with competencies in machinery, aerospace, and medical products. The combination of huge Silicon Valley, auto R&D and a global logistics hubs makes California ripe to build inbound/outbound production/distribution activity. An important part of this potential is dependent on capitalizing on California’s logistics connectivity though its seaports.
There is never a particularly good time to impose fees such as these, but it appears to a particularly bad time, given the potential rise in freight rates caused by ocean carrier consolidation, which reduces the negotiating leverage that shippers have through any particular gateway. From accounts provided, there seems to be lack of clarity and therefore potential lack of accountability on specifically how the funds collected would be applied. There is definitely a case to be made for positive incentives that create more comprehensive air quality solutions in metropolitan California, for example more actively pursuing rail shuttle connections to inland distribution centers.

In this paper, a generic methodology is proposed to simulate the static and dynamic responses of a SI gas engine. The predicted simulation of engine performances is based on a one zone thermodynamic model. The turbocharger is modeled by using polytropic coefficients, the intercooler by its efficiency. The Ventury effect carburetor model is based on physic properties and the butterfly valve model uses a classical approach. A comparison between the simulation and experimental results is realized in terms of static and dynamic performances in closed loop. Comparisons with actual data obtained on a 210 kW engine shows that the maximum error is less than 5 %.

I made these bar cookies to share with some friends. I thought they turned out fairly well. Be sure to spray the bottom of your pan well. My bars were just a bit difficult to get out. The original recipe, found in Cake Mix Cookies, said to use an un-greased pan. I was a bit skeptical of this and lightly sprayed the bottom of the pan. Next time, I will spray it well.
Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bars
1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix with pudding in the mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened, cut into small pieces
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 cup salted roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine cake mix and butter in large bowl; beat with electric mixer at medium speed just until crumbly. Remove 1 cup mixture. Press remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake 10 minutes; cool on wire rack.
Combine cream cheese and peanut butter in large bowl; beat with electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down side of bowl occasionally. Gradually beat in sugar until light. Spoon filling over cooled crust.

The Government of Canada continues to reinforce the protection of consumers of financial services. On March 8, 2011, following up on measures identified in the 2010 Budget of Canada’s Economic Action Plan (Year 2), it released two proposed regulations reducing the maximum hold period for cheques, and prohibiting negative option billing in the financial sector.
Negative Option Billing Regulations
The proposed regulation applies to individuals who subscribe to optional financial products or services provided by a financial institution. This regulation establishes the requirement of express consent from the customer for such products or services, and disclosure obligations for the financial institution.
Express consent from the customer must be given orally or in writing. Oral consent must be confirmed in writing by the financial institution. The regulation expressly mentions that use of the product by the customer does not constitute express consent.
The proposed regulation also imposes the following disclosure obligations:
- The financial institution must provide a description of the product or service, the term of the agreement, the charges, the conditions for cancellation, the date from which the product or service is available for use and from which charges apply, and the steps required to use the product or service;
- Not only must the conditions for cancellation be disclosed, but for any product or service provided on an ongoing basis, the financial institution must indicate on any disclosure statement that the customer may cancel the product or service by notifying the institution to that effect; and
- Any changes made to the terms and conditions of the product or service must also be disclosed in writing to the customer.
Access to Funds Regulations
The proposed Regulation applies to a broader range of customers, namely, individuals and smaller businesses with authorized credit of less than $1 million, fewer than 500 employees and annual revenues of less than $50 million.
Under the proposed regulation, a financial institution must allow withdrawals of funds from a cheque not exceeding $1,500 within four business days after the deposit. When a cheque exceeds $1,500, withdrawals must be allowed within seven business days. However, in the case of individuals, a financial institution must allow the withdrawal of at least $100 immediately, if the cheque was deposited in person, or in other cases, the next business day.
Financial institutions are entitled to assess the particular situation of the customer before releasing funds. In the case of smaller businesses, access to funds may be denied if there are reasonable grounds to believe that there is a material increased credit risk. Other situations, such as deposits made for illegal and fraudulent purposes, or such as accounts opened for less than 90 days, also allow a financial institution to benefit from a longer period before funds may be withdrawn. Those situations however require that the financial institution provides a notice of its refusal to the depositor requesting to withdraw funds.
A financial institution must disclose to individuals holding a retail deposit account and to the public who visits its branches, points of service and websites, the delays within which funds may be withdrawn. Any changes to the delays must be disclosed by means of displayed notice, and by providing a notice to the retail deposit account customers who receive statement of accounts.
The proposed regulation would repeal the Cheque Holding Policy Disclosure (Banks) Regulations.
Both proposed regulations will be published on the 12th of March in the Canada Gazette and will be open to comment from the public within 30 days of such publication.

I was surprised. And I wasn't surprised.
I heard the other day that Manny Ramirez had a "personal issue" to deal with and miss the Rays game in Chicago on Thursday. And as I was checking the scores on my cell on Friday afternoon and the Red Sox were about to clinch their first win of 2011, I saw a blurb that said that Manny was retiring, because of a "drug issue."
Yes, Manny failed yet another drug test, and he was going to have to serve a 100-game suspension, due to fact he got nailed on one in 2009.
So the best way for Manny to avoid it was to hang it up. (Should he ever try a comeback, Ramirez would have to serve the 100-game suspension first. So I have to believe this is it for him.)
Over the next few days, there will be a plethora of articles about Manny, everything from his great accomplishments, crazy excesses to the real lowlights of what should have been a stellar career.
For me, I'll remember him being an integral part of the 2004 season and two Red Sox championships. High-fiving the fan in Baltimore. Carrying an American flag on the field at Fenway with him when he became an American citizen in 2004. Disappearing into the Green Monster and almost missing a pitch. Cutting off a Johnny Damon relay throw in the outfield in 2004. The great catch in Yankee Stadium in 2004, stealing a homer from Miguel Cairo, and the look on Cairo's face after he did it. The way he and David Ortiz terrorized Yankee pitching during the two championship years. Hitting a bomb off Francisco Rodriguez to win Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS. Hitting the first pitch he saw in a Sox uniform in 2001 at Fenway for a home run.
He leaves with an incredibly mixed legacy. Picking a fight with Kevin Youkilis in the dugout one night, and with the team traveling secretary over tickets. Deliberately striking out against Mariano Rivera in a critical game against New York. The many times he never hustled.
I can't help but think Manny has totally blown what should have been a Hall of Fame career with these two failed drug tests. But I wonder if the Hall of Fame really means anything to him.
Whatever. He's still One of The 25.
Thanks for 2004, Manny. And 2007.
And ten million other memories.

Why do my legs swell during pregnancy?
The most common cause is an increase in the amount of blood and fluid in the body that raises the pressure on the veins and nerves during pregnancy when you gain weight and volume!
In most cases, this is not dangerous, BUT if the pain becomes severe, see a doctor.
You can alleviate the inconvenience this entails with support socks! In the beginning, you use these or similar on the legs as regular long socks!
The longer the pregnancy goes and the belly grows, so buy support tights for pregnant women.

When the radar is Mission Critical you can count on us.
Weather Detection Systems was awarded the contract to modernize the weather surveillance radar onboard the Sea Launch Commander Ship.
Sea Launch is a multinational spacecraft launch service that uses a mobile maritime launch platform for equatorial launches of commercial payloads on specialized Zenit-3SL rockets. Payloads can exceed $400,000,000 and the onboard weather radar is mission critical to the success of each and every launch. The radar had to meet stringent launch criteria standards.
Launches from the equator in the Paciﬁc ocean depend 100% on the systems onboard ship. There is no NEXRAD radar data for back-up. Self-calibration, performance, and reliability were absolute requirements without compromise.

One of the best presents you can give your birds is a batch of homemade suet. It’s easy to make and your birds will love it. We make enough suet to last about three weeks and as I write these notes four great kiskadees, three green jays, two golden fronted woodpeckers and two titmice are flying back and forth between our suet stations. We place the suet about seven feet high in two mesquite trees and the only thing to watch out for are ants that find suet as scrumptious as the birds. Sprinkle a small amount of insecticide at the base of the trees to keep them free of marauding ants.
The process we use was concocted using several recipes available online and in a number of books. Our recipe is tweaked to meet our needs. It calls for the following ingredients:
1 Cup Chunky Peanut Butter
2-3 Cups of Mixed Bird Seed (we use three cups)
3 Cups Yellow Corn Meal
2 Cups Bleached or Unbleached Flour
1 Cup Lard or Shortening
Place the lard and the peanut butter in a large pot. Put the pot on the stove at medium heat. Remove the pot from the heat when the lard and peanut butter are melted.
Now add the corn meal, flour and bird seed into the pot and stir until well blended. Place the mixture into a container sized appropriately to fit your suet cage. Be sure and spray the containers with non-stick cooking spray before you fill them with the suet mixture!
We use plastic containers saved from guacamole purchased at the grocery store or from store bought suet. In other words, be on the lookout for suitable containers.
Now place your completed suet containers in the freezer or refrigerator to set. This will take about an hour in the freezer.
Fit the frozen suet into a suet cage and then sit back and enjoy watching your birds gobble it up.
Okay, fellow birders. Can you identify the birds pictured above?

A television advert in 1986 featured the Ritchie Valens hit "La Bamba" playing in the background CGI allowed a Nova to drive over vehicles in a busy city. Another advert from 1990 featured a Nova as a pet, CGI allowing it to jump through a traffic jam and briefly play a hotrod whilst stopped at traffic lights. The end featured a homage to Wacky Races, with the Nova laughing like Muttley. This advert featured Angus Deayton.
The way it nearly came to the US is interesting, though. Back then, GM North America was a very different place than GM Europe, and it looked like there was very little interest in bridging the gap, unlike today. But after GM bought a 50% stake in the Trollhattan trolls, the General was now burdened with the problem of attracting more than devotees to an aging lineup at dealerships. The solution was to sell the Calibra to Americans through Saab dealerships, but badged as a Saab.
A mark of General Motors' confidence in their plans for the small car sector, and something that the Opel Kadett and the Vauxhall Viva had in common, was that the manufacturer built for each new model a completely new car plant in a region characterized by relatively high unemployment and the availability of a skilled workforce, but with no strong tradition of volume auto-making. The Vauxhall Viva was the first car built at Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port plant while the Kadett A was the first product of Opel's new purpose built Bochum plant. Ellesmere Port and Bochum would effectively become sister plants, producing subsequent generations of Kadett as well as their Vauxhall badged sisters (the Chevette and Astra) for the next fifty years.
To note, the Automatic Emergency Breaking feature works automatically above 5 km/h and below 85 km/h. From 5 to 30 km/h, the deceleration metric to reduce the impact speed of the collision is 0.9g. From 30 to 85 km/h, the system brakes to the speed by a maximum of 22 km/h. After this threshold, the driver needs to brake himself to reduce the speed even further.
All four tyres had to be of the same make and model, and all four tyres had to be replaced at the same time — if one tyre was damaged or punctured, the three remaining good tyres also had to be replaced. In addition there were other maintenance requirements which were both exacting and unusual. Neglect of these points through ignorance or a misconceived attempt to save money was common, and was likely to lead to very expensive failures of the transfer gearbox.

German manufacturer Opel and its British sister Vauxhall have committed to no less than eight all-new or refreshed models before 2020, with a focus on growth segments. Of these eight models, three will be all-new versions of the Corsa light hatch, Vivaro van, and the successor to the Mokka X small crossover, the former two scheduled for launch next year, while the latter will hit the European market in 2020...
The Corsa E has been around since 2014 essentially as a more thorough facelift of the model before it and it won’t be until towards the end of the decade when the supermini is going to be overhauled. The development phase has not been what we would call smooth sailing considering the major corporate change. We’re obviously talking about PSA’s decision to buy Opel/Vauxhall from General Motors, which is going to have a direct impact on the new Corsa.
My father, who could well be this man (except for the Germanic house behind it), bought a new sickly-green Kadett A just like this in 1965, at the local Buick dealer in Towson. So, yes; I can speak for the Kadett’s ability to trounce all VWs in street-light races, thanks to my older brother’s repeated VW-baiting. And at seventy or so, the turbulence from the boxy body caused the tops of the thin little doors to actually move away from the body enough to see daylight between them. Lightweight construction indeed. Hopefully, someday I’ll miraculously find a Kadett A and do the full story of its colorful place in history, both the automotive world’s as well as the Niedermeyer’s. But this CC is about its successor.
The Kadett E has been seen as a grey import in the United Kingdom, but it is quite rare compared to its badge engineered sister, the Vauxhall Astra Mk II. It was never officially sold in Britain, and by 1989, General Motors was only marketing the Vauxhall brand in the United Kingdom, although Astras assembled at Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port plant were exported to the rest of Europe badged as Opel Kadetts. There was also a van version with a raised roof, called the Opel Kadett Combo.
A convertible version was also available, for the first time in 1987, built by Bertone of Torino/Italy, bringing it to line with competitors, such as the Ford Escort and Volkswagen Golf. For the 1988 model, capacities were raised from 1.3 to 1.4 litres. In the fall of 1986 a new 1,998 cc engine replaced the 1.8 hitherto used on the GSi and Vauxhall Astra GTE in many markets, although the 1.8 continued to be sold in some places. In 1988, a 16-valve twin-cam version was developed for a high-performance GSi/GTE model, yielding 156 PS (115 kW) in non-catalyzed form, six less horsepower with a catalytic converter fitted. While criticized for a lack of refinement, the GSi 16V was also lauded as the most powerful car available in its class at the time. Aside from the "16V" badging, it could be told from an eight-valve GSi by its twin rectangular exhaust pipes.

The Bombie Bar Fundraiser’s headline act for last week’s event at Anita’s Theatre almost didn’t make the stage!
Thirsty Merc lead singer Rai Thistlethwayte’s flight from Adelaide was delayed, forcing him to jump straight from the car onto the stage, performing like a pro- while also filling in for bass guitarist Phill Stock who was stuck in Victoria, also on a cancelled flight!
Despite the drama, Coalcliff Surf Club’s Bombie Fundraiser has been hailed a huge success. It’s fantastic to see such a cross-section of the local community unite for the fundraiser
The night doubled as a celebration of the surf club and local live music, with organisers offering heartfelt thanks to the musicians and the community, which turned out in force to be a part of this incredible event.
“Big thanks to Matt and Lochy Buggy, Declan Kelly and the Rising Sun, Garfish, ‘The Bombie All Stars’ and Coalciff SLSC’s very own Peter Jordan,” say the organisers. ” These incredible contributions from so many talented artists underlines the amazing support that has been built for our little surf club through the many successful years of The Bombie Bar.
“A big thanks also to Nick Garbett who along with Declan Kelly and Matt Smith who organised the three headline acts. They have been supporters of the Bombie Bar from the start.
“We’d also like to thank Nick from Anita’s Theatre for his assistance on the night, and the Bondi Rescue lifeguards who donated a signed shirt and book for the raffle,” say the organisers.
“The Bombie Bar has been a wonderful venue where people of all ages and from all over the Illawarra could gather to enjoy the talents of local musicians and meet up with each other, whilst supporting the surf club. Many expressed huge disappointment that this community “service” was no longer available to them.”
Meanwhile club officials say all future negotiations will be carried out in the right spirit to ensure the beloved Bombie Bar is preserved, alongside wonderfully tight-knit community of Coalcliff, and the extended Illawarra community which has taken such delight in the venue.
The club continues to explore exciting, alternate fundraising events so the club is to purchase critical lifesaving equipment and keep our beach safe for swimmers in the summers ahead.

On Friday, June 25, the Senegalese national assembly approved two new laws in the Senegalese penal code which they say will help the country fight terrorism. However, many civil society movements and activists are protesting against these new laws, which they deem anti-democratic, and some have been arrested for their demonstrations.
While the new laws are being promoted as anti-terrorism laws, many citizens of the country see that these laws would confiscate their freedoms by criminalizing public protest and political speech. The laws would make leaders of civic and political movements responsible for “offenses committed” by their organizations and could require them to give the government access to their organizational data. The laws will also allow government surveillance of anyone suspected of terrorism without prior court approval.
Africans Rising finds that these laws are grave violations of the civil rights of the people living and working in Senegal. We support the Movement for the Defense of Democracy (M2D) and Senegalese civil society organizations fighting against this law. We call on Africans Rising communities to be in solidarity with the movements struggling in defence of democracy, justice, peace and political stability in Senegal. We ask that you help bring the spotlight to what is happening in Senegal by reaching out to Senegalese authorities and voicing your concerns about the laws, posting to your social media feeds about what is going on in the country, and organizing any other events or actions that can lend support and solidarity to the people on the ground working to defeat these laws in Senegal.
To contact Africans Rising with ways our movement can collaborate and amplify solidarity with movements against this law, please write to us at firstname.lastname@example.org.
For more information about organizing against the law in Senegal, contact M2D directly on Twitter at @m2d_senegal.

Police found negligent during fatal arrest
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, October 12, 1995
1995-10-12 04:00:00 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco's police watchdog agency says officers used unnecessary force and "neglected their duty" during the June arrest of burglary suspect Aaron Williams, who later died in custody.
Lance Bayer, director of the Office of Citizen Complaints, told the Police Commission that his agency's investigators had found wrongdoing on the part of an unspecified number of officers in the case.
Within two weeks, the OCC plans to make formal recommendation to Chief Tony Ribera that the officers face disciplinary charges in the June 4 death of Williams.

Ribera can suspend officers for up to 10 days himself or refer officers to the Police Commission for stricter punishment, including firing.
Bayer said Wednesday night that the findings were preliminary and would not be final until the officers and Williams' family have had a chance to review the allegations. Bayer declined to say how many officers would be accused of wrongdoing.
He said the OCC investigation "sustained allegations of unnecessary force and neglect of duty." He declined to be specific.
City regulations prohibit the OCC from releasing results of its investigations or the names of the officers under review unless disciplinary charges are filed with the Police Commission.
Williams, 35, died June 4 in the parking lot behind the Richmond District police station after a violent struggle with 12 officers in front of his Western Addition home. Police and some witnesses say Williams was combative, while his family and other witnesses have said officers beat the suspect after he was handcuffed.
The San Francisco coroner concluded that Williams had died of "excited delirium," heart failure caused by
"acute cocaine toxicity." A Stockton pathologist hired by Williams' family concluded that 18 injuries suffered in the struggle with police had contributed to his death.
The Police Department is conducting its own internal investigation through its management control unit. An earlier inquiry by homicide inspectors found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of police.
Several of Williams' family members attended the Police Commission meeting, saying afterward they were gratified that an independent agency had found police wrongdoing.
"I think this is a step in the right direction," said William Bowser, Williams' uncle. "I've thought this was police cover-up from the beginning. I want to see what will happen next."
In another matter, the commission scheduled a Nov. 1 hearing on proposed changes to its policy for reviewing shootings involving cops.

When two men fall in love with the same woman then problems can be expected. The first man to meet Mélisande is Prince Golaud. He finds her lost in the forest, marries her and takes her home. Home, that is the castle of his grandfather King Arkel. However, Prince Golaud has an attractive half-brother, Pelléas. Hence the name of the opera. The story goes on and things get unhealthy. Pelléas decides to leave the castle to evade the situation, but tragedy strikes …

I've just built myself a NAS to act as a media server and I am wondering what OS I should put in.
I tried freeNAS but it didn't support bridging of two network cards so it was a no go. It's that the router I use is one port short and I need one more to connect my 360 to stream media to.
The web interface felt really good though, very easy to navigate in.
So my goal is to find an OS:
- with a preferably easily navigated web interface
- able to bridge two network cards to help my poor router out
- that is light weight as I only have 512MB ram and it needs to fit (and boot) on a 4GB usb stick
- that has the right protocols to be able to handle ftp transfers and streaming to 360/PCH/PS3 etc.
Also, I have an external backup drive for every internal drive installed and I would be happy if anyone have any tips on the easiest and fastest way of backup.
Thank you for the answer but as I wrote in my original post (although maybe not so clear) it's that my router only has one port left free and that is supposed to serve both the server and a media streamer (360/PCH).
Add a switch to your router and move all devices currently connected to it over to the switch. 8 port GbE switch are dirt cheap these days.
The router meanwhile does the job of DHCP in allocating IP address to clients connected to the switch. And of course supply Internet via its WAN port.

For more than a decade, Section 25(C) of the tax code provided a $300 tax credit for purchasers of fuel-efficient heating systems.
In December of 2020, a spending bill and a pandemic relief package was signed into law that included a new tax credit for efficient heating systems that is substantially more lucrative for homeowners. Now the tax credit offered is 30% of the total cost of purchasing and installing your fuel-efficient heating unit!
Additionally, fuel-efficient wood and wood pellet-based heating systems were added to qualify for this renewable energy investment tax credit, just like the wind, solar, fuel cell, and geothermal systems that have qualified for similar incentives in the past.
What does this mean for you as a homeowner?
Well, it means that if you are considering buying a highly efficient wood or pellet stove or biomass heating system this year, you should be able to claim a 30% tax credit all the way up to $2,000 based on the cost to purchase and install your unit. The $2,000 is an annual cap with no lifetime limit for tax years 2023 through 2032.
Qualifications are as follows:
- Your wood heater must burn biomass as a fuel, heating air or water, and be at least 75 percent efficient HHV(higher heating value).
- Must be purchased and installed between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 in your primary residence.
- Must have Receipts for your total cost of purchase, installation, labor, and materials (including venting).

Break out the tissues, because this one’s a sad song.
“Falling” is a beautiful ballad about heartbreak by Harry Styles. The song is characterized by a piano riff during the intro. The riff is melodic, fitting, and easy to play.
In fact, this is a simple song to learn because it only uses 4 chords. The hardest thing about the song is the key signature (E major) because there are 4 sharps to get used to.
The easiest way to learn the song is to learn the 4 chords that we’ll be using first.
This song uses a 1-6-5-4 progression. It’s very similar to the 1-5-6-4 progression found in most pop songs. It’s the same chords, just in a different order.
If you’re not sure what those numbers mean, make sure you watch the lesson on the Number System.
Because we’re in the key of E major, the 4 chords we’ll be playing are E major, C# minor, B major and A major.
Here’s what those chords look like:
Now there is a funky looking chord on the lead sheet, which is a B/G#. This just means that you play a B major chord in your right hand while playing a G# note in your left. So it looks like this:
It’s called a “slash chord” and you can learn more about them in this lesson.
And that’s it for chords! These are the ONLY chords you’ll need for the intro, verse, chorus and even the bridge. It’s really that simple.
This is the riff that identifies the song, and it’s beautiful. It’s also only 3 notes. Those notes are G#, F#, and E. The rhythm might take a little bit to get used to, and I find it helps to listen and play along to the recording to get it perfect.
The riff lasts for one measure and then repeats while you change the notes in the bass. You can choose to play single notes with your left hand, or you can play octaves to really give it some emotion.
For the verse and chorus, you just have to play simple chords underneath the melody. You can also choose to play the melody line if you don’t want to sing it, but if you’re trying to replicate the recording then simple chords are best. You can choose to play these in root position or experiment with some inversions.
The chord progression doesn’t change for the intro, verse or chorus. It only changes when we get to…
The order of the chords changes here, but the chords themselves do not. It’s still the same 4 chords you’ve been playing up until this point.
And really, all the bridge adds is an extra A major chord for an entire measure before returning to the same pattern:
One of the reasons I love pop songs so much is that you can play them however you like. To make this song harder you could try playing the intro riff underneath the chorus while you sing (it’s not easy).
You can also experiment with adding in more complicated left-hand patterns if you like.
Or, you could just play it simple and sparse. It works for Harry, so who are we say it needs to be harder than it already is?

Senator Joel Villanueva backed calls that fuel subsidies to public utility vehicles be taken out of the election public spending ban list.
“The call of the hour is to step on the gas in distributing this aid, and not to step on the brakes,” Villanueva said.
The veteran legislator also said that the similar distribution of fuel vouchers to farmers and fisherfolk should not be halted on account of the May 9 elections.
“A moratorium is not only unjust, it is oppressive.”
“This is a critical lifeline to crucial sectors impacted by the high gas prices. So, a moratorium is not only unjust, it is oppressive,” the seasoned lawmaker said.
The reelectionist senator previously called on the government to fast track the distribution of the P2.5 billion fuel subsidy to the transport sector, and increase the P500 million fuel subsidy program for farmers and fisherfolk. In addition, he called for boosting the fuel subsidy for fishermen to an initial P2 billion.
Villanueva justified his call by citing studies that fuel accounts for half of the operating cost of fishermen, “which translates to half of the retail prices of fish we see in the market”.
“Any moratorium effectively cancels any proposal from the government to increase the budget of the program and the number of beneficiaries,” he said.
Villanueva said fuel vouchers should be treated in the same category as medicine for the sick.
“Dahil po ba may eleksyon, ititigil na po ba natin ang pagbibigay ng gamot at lunas?” he asked.
“Remember these are not tax breaks for billionaires in the millions, but trickle-down help to those who feed us, those who are bringing us to work,” Villanueva stressed.
He was the first senator to call for more exemptions to the election season government spending ban in order not to disrupt social services and work on critical infrastructure.
Villanueva also warned that declaring a pause on critical public works construction “will drive tens of thousands of workers into temporary unemployment”.
“Employment and economic relief should not be a casualty of election.”
“Employment and economic relief should not be a casualty of election. Feeding the nation, transporting the people, pandemic recovery should not take a back seat to polls,” he said.
Villanueva made the reaction as the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has paused the allocation of fuel subsidy for PUV drivers and operators pending authorization from the COMELEC.

KANSAS CITY — After hearing praise and pleas for leniency for two Missouri brother involved in a nationwide spamming scheme, a federal judge sentenced the men to three years of probation and ordered them to forfeit nearly $500,000 in gains from the scheme.
Amir Ahmad Shah, 30, and Osmaan Ahmad Shah, 27, were sentenced Thursday for stealing student email addresses at hundreds of colleges and universities, including MU, where Osmaan Shah was a student. They then sent spam promoting various products and services to the students.
Their sentences included three months of home detention and three months at a halfway house. The Shahs and their company, i2o Inc., also were ordered to forfeit $439,820 in cash and property. This included properties in St. Louis and Columbia and two luxury cars.
The brothers, both of Ballwin, pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy and fraud charges for violating a federal anti-spamming law. At the time, they ran a legitimate online business that sold consumer items such as refurbished iPods, teeth-whitening kits and pepper spray to college students, lawyers said.
However, they developed programs that illegally captured more than 8 million student email addresses then used a database to send unsolicited messages selling various products and services, prosecutors said.
The Shahs also admitted their scheme involved using bandwidth provided by the MU's computer networkand caused damage to the network and its users. The network was damaged by the large amount of network resources and bandwidth used during the transmission of millions of spam emails through its system, The Columbia Tribune reported.
Before the Shahs were sentenced, U.S. District Judge Howard F. Sachs heard several people endorse the brothers' business abilities and their character. Their current employers credited them with improving their businesses and helping save jobs, The Kansas City Star reported.
While free on bond after their indictment in April 2009, the brothers helped the St. Louis Post-Dispatch develop procedures and management systems for its online advertising, according to a letter filed on their behalf with the court. And the owner of a Missouri firm that serves the aerospace industry testified that the brothers helped save 40 machine shop jobs when the company was on the verge of closing.
"In four months, they turned the operation around," said Sarwar Ahmed, president of Carden Machine Shop Inc. "America needs hardworking men like these setting the standards, not sitting in jail."
Co-defendant Paul Zucker, 58, of Wayne, N.J., pleaded guilty in July to his role in the conspiracy and was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to pay $7,562 in restitution.

Red Bull may have been first out of the barn door, but the next generation of energy drinks is creating a bullish market. In fact, the burgeoning energy drink industry is expected to double its sales this year to almost $1.5 billion, according to the Beverage Marketing Corporation. It’s no surprise, then, that a new crop of energy drinks is now flooding the market.
Problem is, most of these drinks are chock-full of caffeine, with most boasting about 80 milligrams in an 8.3-ounce can. That’s about equal to the caffeine found in a standard cup of coffee and almost double what’s lurking in your average can of cola. Here’s a look at the key ingredients in some of the best-selling energy drinks out there today:

"We talked about it, even on the ship going over, that some of us would be wounded or killed eventually," Denman Wolfe said.
The retired Army Ranger stormed the beaches of Normandy, France on June 6, 1944.
"The water was so rough going in that half the guys were seasick, and then we got thrown in the ocean, and we had to wade into water or swim," Wolfe said.
Wolfe said the ships were taking on water, and a lot of weapons and equipment was lost in the ocean.
"What I was really thinking was making it to the beach...just getting across the beach," He said.
He served 22 years as an Army Ranger in World War II and Korea.
"We were trained not to be scared of anything, and we knew we had the number one chance of getting killed...all of us did, but we didn't discuss it one way or the other," Wolfe said.
Wolfe said he doesn't talk about his military service, but he will never forget his fallen Rangers.
"If I had been one of them that got killed, I would have felt proud to have been a Ranger," Wolfe said, "And proud of the men that helped me do what we had to do that day."
Fort Smith Army veteran John Harmon also was on the beaches of Normandy seventy years ago.
Harmon said he and his fellow soldiers got to the beach 13 hours after the first wave of U.S. soldiers laid down their lives.
Harmon said he was 18 years old during the invasion. He said he worked with the armored division of the Army, working with machine guns on the tanks.
He said the hardest part of the beaches were the cliffs. Harmon said the Germans were shooting on top of the cliffs killing thousands of soldiers.
He said all of the men next to him were young and just did what they were told to do.
"They told us what was going on, and what we were going to do, and that's what we did," Harmon said, "And we were scared, because I figured they were going to get me anyways...looking at all those people laying down there."
Harmon served in the Army as a sergeant for D-Day and throughout World War II. He continued his service in Korea where he was awarded two purple hearts and a bronze star.

As regular readers of our San Antonio Legal Blog know, we regularly focus on medical negligence issues of importance to veterans and veterans’ families. These issues are not limited to those who have served in our nation’s military, however.
The health care industry is booming, with rapid growth in care providers. With the growth comes problems, unfortunately, as physicians, nurses and others are too often unwilling to pay attention to the details of patient care so important in modern medicine. The result can be preventable mistakes that cause serious harm to patients.
A recent news article broke the different types of medical malpractice cases into four categories: misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication errors and birth injuries.
The first (and most common) type of malpractice involves misdiagnosis. The term “misdiagnosis” covers several types of circumstances. It can mean a doctor failed to diagnose a critical health condition or mistakenly diagnosed a condition or made a delayed diagnosis.
- Misdiagnosis often involves serious conditions, including the following:
- Heart attack
Another category of medical negligence involves surgical errors. Though these mistakes are relatively rare, it typically has devastating impacts on patient health. These errors are so rare that they are termed “never events.”
Unfortunately, surgical errors do occur, despite the “never” moniker.
Medication errors are more common, often involving prescriptions inappropriate for a condition, or in doses too large or too small to benefit a patient.
Birth injuries can involve matters such as the following:
- Cerebral palsy / Erb’s palsy
- Maternal hypertension
- Undiagnosed gestational diabetes
- Perinatal asphyxia
Medical malpractice cases can be heartbreaking. Not only is there physical harm to the patient, but in many cases that damage is followed by loss of employment or wages and financial devastation.
Contact an attorney experienced in medical malpractice litigation to discuss maximum compensation for damages and your legal options.

Atradius Pharmaceuticals Sector Experts share their insights and opinions on how AI will impact the industry.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data and machine learning are already commonly used by businesses, especially for improving productivity for automated tasks in manufacturing and for extracting patterns amongst large volumes of data.
Although initially slow to gain momentum, research indicates that AI in the global healthcare sector is also now accelerating. AI investment in the industry was around USD 15 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach more than USD 187 billion by 2030.
But are such growth predictions consistent across markets or regions? We asked our Pharmaceuticals Experts from Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas for their insights into usage and opportunities presented by AI and Big Date in their regions.
Among the feedback they shared Judy Ji, Atradius Pharmaceuticals Expert for the Asia-Pacific, noted the growth of new opportunities that AI presents in her region. She points out that both external investors and new players can springboard off AI into a market they have traditionally not worked in before.
However, the growth of AI also poses risks to the industry. For example, our Sector Expert for Europe, Rubén del Río Hernández, asks whether smaller pharma businesses are equipped to compete with large tech firms.
Our Sector Expert for the Americas, Patrick Scardina, agrees with this existential question. He cautions pharma companies can ill afford to be left behind and suggests many will seek to invest or partner with technology firms in order to survive.
In addition to competition and collaboration, the sector experts also explored issues such as the regulatory hurdles concerning AI in the industry and further risks and opportunities presented by the increased use of AI in the pharmaceuticals industry.

Lefkas is located on the north side of Lefkada. It’s the first town encountered after crossing the bridge that connects Lefkada with the mainland. On the road signs it’s generally written Lefkada, not Lefkas. It’s a 20-minute drive away from the international airport near Preveza.
Lefkas is the biggest city and the capital of Lefkada, as well as administrative and cultural center of the island. It has about 8,000 inhabitants.
Powerful earthquakes that have hit the Ionian coast in the last century, heavily hit Lefkada and Lefkas, so most of the buildings and churches have been destroyed. Medieval fortress that was built in the early 14th century remained and today it stands as the most imposing building on Lefkada. Called Agia Mavra, was built by the Franks and was intended for the protection of the city from pirates. Lefkas was restored after the earthquake and built to withstand future quakes. It was built as a classic Venetian resort, with a central square and two circular streets around the square. Mentioned square in the center of Lefkas is called Agios Spirodonas after the Church of Gathering that was built in the 17th century. There are two more churches from the 18th century in town - Agios Nikolaos and Pantocrator.
In addition to a large number of accommodation facilities (hotels, villas, apartments) in the city, there are banks, a post office, a couple of high schools, a large number of rent-a-car agencies… Nearby Agios Ioannis beach there is a lagoon, and also a narrow belt of sand with windmills known as Gira. Laguna is famous for being a habitat for migratory birds and fishes. If you like nature, you can enjoy the view of pelicans, flamingos and ducks very nicely adapted and feel like home, despite the noise coming from the city.
Large marina dominates the city. Throughout the season hundreds of sailboats, yachts, ships and boats are anchored there. Along the marina there’s a long promenade full of taverns, cafes and seafood restaurants. On the other side of the street across the promenade, there are also restaurants, shops, fast food kiosks, boutiques…
Lefkas has literally everything you may need during the holiday. Large supermarkets including Lidl, large, paved and closed to traffic shopping street with boutiques of famous and less known brands. By the sea there’s a part with bars and clubs that work throughout the night, but also paved promenade with a number of narrow streets crowded with taverns, souvenir shops, boutiques, as well as tucked and nicely landscaped gardens.
Very nice are the streets that are not strictly in the the tourist part of town, because they are so narrow that they can be passed by only two persons. These streets are reminiscent of those in the Italian towns.
In the center there’s no beach, but 3km from the town there is a long beach Agios Ioannis, known for its constant wind making this beach second surfing center on the island, after Vasiliki. The sea in this part is turquoise with gradual depth. The beach is pebbly, but in the water there are also stone slabs. In the background there are plenty of accommodation facilities. In the same bay there are the famous windmills, with one particular converted into a coffee bar. On the beach you can rent a surfboard or pay the lessons for this sport.
Going further to the west you’ll come across the famous monastery of the Holy Virgin Faneromeni, considered to be a patroness of the island. This monastery is really worth visiting, especially because it’s very sacred, and also because of a very nicely landscaped garden and beautiful view to the sea, Agios Ioannis beach, the lagoon and Lefkas.
The famous sandy beach Pefkoulia is 10km away from Lefkas. This beach is usually not crowded, so you can enjoy the peace even in the high season.
Agios Nikitas and the famous Milos beach are 13km away from Lefkas.
One of the most beautiful beaches on the island, famous Kathisma, is 16km away from the capital, while Egremni and Porto Katsiki, located on the opposite side of the island, are within 40-45km. A bit further away there’s one of the most beautiful places on Lefkada, Vasiliki as well as beautiful Agiofili beach.
On the east coast, 17km away from Lefkas, there’s the most popular place on the island Nidri. You can visit it in the evening and enjoy a very vibrant atmosphere it’s known for. Also worth visiting on the east coast are Desimi beach with a natural shade 29km away from Lefkas, Rouda Bay (Mikros Gialos) (30km), Afteli (34km), as well as the port of Sivota (31km) famous for the best fish taverns on the island.
We have already mentioned that Lefkas is cultural center of Lefkada island, therefor you can visit Archaeological Museum, Museum of turntables, as well as Folklore Museum.
In the town there is, now famous and very popular wooden bridge, where every night a large number of tourists gather to watch the sunset and take photos.
You can see the accommodation in Lefkas on following link.


We’ve talked before about how all major electric cars on the market today have to undergo just as rigorous a water testing as their gasoline counterparts.
But just like the many people who ask us on a weekly basis what happens when electric cars meet water perhaps there’s a voice somewhere that says the automakers are wrong.
After all, your science teacher told you water and electricity don’t mix, right?
So, in order to settle the debate once and for all we decided to put our own 2011 Nissan Leaf through the high-water pressure trauma that is the local drive-thru car wash.
Rolling up to the wash on a busy Saturday afternoon, we took our place in the queue with everything from large SUVS to family hatchbacks. And we waited.
Pulling up to the attendant and manager of the carwash the magnitude of what we were facing was reinforced by unsubstantiated yet shockingly common misconceptions about the car.
“Is that a hybrid?” he asked, noticing the zero emissions badge on the door of the Leaf. His verdict was swift and typical. “It’s electric? Fully electric? You don’t want to bring that in here. It could blow up!”
After a short conversation with us in which we agreed to accept any liability in case of being fried alive by the powerful traction battery short-circuiting, he agreed to let us in. Given the torrent of cars waiting to enter the car-wash, we were surprised he was willing to discuss it for such a long time - but perhaps the thought of the potential insurance claim was too much to bear.
Choosing $15 premium wash and removing the leaf’s stubby aeriel, we sat and waited for the cleaning to begin.
All the time, the Leaf attracted more attention. People were starting to point. Some laughed. Others stood by, one finger poised to call the emergency services.
Treated to a quartet of pre-wash attendants (such was the apparent humor and disbelief that an electric car driver was being stupid audacious enough to use the car wash) the car was attacked from all sides with a firing squad of pressure washers and the softest of brushes.
Lining the car up with the automatic conveyor belt inside the wash we caught one last sight of the bemused faces of the attendants and vanished into a sea of triple-colored foam.
Keeping the car on but in neutral, we sat back and let the car wash do its thing.
We should probably note at this point that the car wash we chose has a bit of a reputation. Over the past few years it has been responsible for inducing leaks in everything from a Volvo 240 station wagon to a Ford Focus. It has also claimed a fair number of smashed windows, dislodged spoilers and broken mirrors.
Yet our journey carried on regardless. Onwards to the fast-rotating brushes, the under-body wash and the rinse, both car and occupants remained in working condition.
By the time we reached the wax application and blow-dry stage we were home dry. No burning smells, no flashing lights and no puddles.
Pulling out of the carwash and back onto the road there wasn’t an issue at all.
Who’d have thought it? An electric car designed to be driven anywhere in all weathers?
