It is curious that Henderson makes no reference in his letters to the remarkable defence of Rorke's Drift, for, at about 3.30 p.m. he arrived there from Isandhlwana with some one hundred men of the Hlubi and Edendale troops, Natal Native Horse. Lieutenant Chard, no doubt grateful for some reinforcements in light of the disturbing news that Henderson carried with him, put them out as a mounted screen to observe the Drift and the reverse slope of the Oskarberg. Several more survivors from Isandhlwana arrived and attempted to impress upon the garrison the futility of a defence, but Chard's resolve could not be altered. These survivor's, however, having seen the horror of Isandhlwana, and believing the same fate would surely befall Rorke's Drift, continued their flight. At about 4.20 p.m. sporadic gunfire was heard behind the Oskarberg, and the Natal Light Horse galloped past the mission station in the direction of Helpmekaar. Lieutenant Henderson, pausing only to report that his troops refused to obey orders, took off in pursuit of them.
Henderson shortly afterwards contracted typhoid fever and returned to his home where he was nursed back to health in time to be in at the kill when the Zulu power was crushed at the battle of Ulundi. For the next twenty years Alfred was engaged in business with interests in several mining concessions amongst other enterprises. In the Boer War Henderson again came to prominence and received high commendation from the Director of Military Intelligence: "Mr. Alfred Fairlie Henderson, Field Intelligence Department, took part in the Defence of Ladysmith and was present at the operations near Helpmekaar and the actions at Alleman's Nek and Bergendal and the advance on Lydenburg. Mr. Henderson's services were invaluable. Mentioned in despatches, London Gazette 8th February, 1901." For his scouting services throughout the defence of Ladysmith, Henderson was created a C.M.G.
'I was one of the Rocket Battery under command of the late Captain Russell, R.A., which was attached to Colonel Durnford's Column. We got to Isandhlwana Camp about 11 a.m. on the 22nd January 1879. We halted there about 10 minutes when Colonel Durnford came down from the Campof the 1/24th Regiment and gave orders that, as the Zulus were retiring fast, the mounted men should advance up a hill about two and a half miles from Camp, and that the Rocket Battery supported by the Infantry of the Native Contingent should follow in rear of the Mounted Basutos. About two miles out we met a 'vidette' of the Natal Carbineers who reported that the Mounted Basutos were heavily engaged on the opposite side of a hill on our left, at the same time offering to show us a short cut to the place where the engagement was going on. The Captain galloped up the hill and before he returned to us shouted 'Action front'.
In his capacity as a member of the Mounted Infantry, Westwood served in Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel H. B. Pulleine's No. 3 Column, which force was decimated at Isandhlwana on 22 January 1879. He had earlier seen active service in Perak 1875-76, and in operations against the Sekukini in 1878.
How Barton came to learn of Mounted Infantrymen's survival was a remarkable story in itself. A few days after Isandhlwana, while visiting the hospital at Helpmekaar, he described to a fellow officer the act of gallantry he had witnessed at Fugitive's Drift, an account that was overheard by a soldier lying in a nearby bed - none other than Westwood, who was happy to identify his rescuer as Private Samuel Wassall. Barton's subsequent submission, as cited above, in addition to a sworn statement made by Westwood before the District Magistrate at Pietermaritzburg in April 1879, resulted in the gallant Wassall being gazetted for the Victoria Cross, the only such distinction won by an Isandhlwana survivor.
'For his gallant conduct in having, at the imminent risk of his own life, saved that of Private Westwood of the same regiment. On 22 January 1879, when the camp at Isandhlwana was taken by the enemy, Private Wassall retreated towards the Buffalo River, in which he saw a comrade struggling and apparently drowning. He rode to the bank, dismounted, leaving his horse on the Zulu side, rescued the man from the stream and again mounted his horse, dragging Private Westwood across the river under a heavy shower of bullets' (London Gazette 17 June 1879 refers).
That October, an issue of the children's magazine Aunt Judy included a story entitled Jackanapes, written by Juliana Horatia Ewing, an army officer's wife, a tale said to have been inspired by real events in the Zulu War. Indeed the rescue of the character Tony by his friend Jackanapes, after he falls from his horse, is believed to be based on Westwood's rescue by Wassall - "Leave you? To save my skin? No, Tony, not to save my soul!"; moreover, the same story inspired Rolf Harris' song Two Little Boys, which went to No. 1 in the charts 90 years after events at Fugitive's Drift on the River Buffalo.
James Nathaniel Hamer was born in Clerkenwell, London, in October 1858, the son of James Hamer, a Clerk of the Queen's Bench.
'Mr. Hamer, the civil commissary whose life he [Smith-Dorrien] had saved, wrote copious letters to the Horse Guards and to Horace's family but to no avail. When this became apparent, Hamer did his best to obtain for him the Royal Humane Society's Medal but was told it was too late' (The Man Who Disobeyed: Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien and His Enemies, refers).
Also present at Ulundi, Hamer later gained appointment as a Sergeant, afterwards Acting Sub. Inspector, in the Cape Mounted Police, and was also for two years a Deputy-Commissary of Ordnance under the Cape Government. Having then briefly returned to the U.K., he sailed for New Zealand, where he found employment as a Sub. Manager with the Trust & Agency Co. of Australasia and was married in 1888.
And over the coming years he became a prominent local figure, rising to Manager of the Trust & Agency Co. and being elected a fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute, in addition to serving with the Canterbury Yeomanry. Less happily, he was divorced in November 1900, after a much publicised case involving his adultery 'with a woman in Wellington'.
'We only remained at the old home for another three years, because during that time my mother re-married a Captain in the South African War. I remember being decked out in a new green suit and hat, and my brother in a Norfolk suit, so that we could go to meet him. We were rather dubious as to what he would be like as we had heard terrible stories about stepfathers. He looked every inch a military man with his waxed moustache, as he whisked us away in a cab to go to the London Zoo, which was a great event for us. He was very kind, I guess he thought he had better make a good impression, which he did, and all through the years he lived, I must say he was always very kind to me.
When the day came for us to leave London, we were told that we were going to live in a 500 year old country inn, in Kent. Of course, this seemed a great adventure for my brother and I, and we were thrilled but very tired when the moving van arrived at 3.a.m., to take us to our new home. My stepfather had bought us a parrot in Africa so, of course, it had to go along with us.
Eventually we moved into the Chequers Inn, which however, was only to be our home for eight months. We were placed in school there, my brother at the Grammar School, and I was sent to a young ladies school. However, it was not for long, as it appeared my stepfather had a drink problem.
At the back of the Chequers Inn lies the old Castle, hundreds of years old. Our new friends spent many happy times playing there. Playing there soon came to an end, as life was very unhappy for my mother. She tried to stay as long as possible at the Inn, but the environment was not at all good, so one day, we were told that we were moving back to London, that is, my mother, brother and I. I know she was very sad as she had to leave all her furniture and start life afresh to provide for us, as my stepfather's capital had all gone. I can only realize now, in later life, how brave she was. My aunt was still living in London, but mother was independent and wanted to face her troubles alone. Of course, my brother and I were sad at leaving our new friends but knowing nothing could be done otherwise, we tried to help all we could.
This was in 1906 and his wife duly joined him Canada shortly before the Great War, but she died in British Columbia while Hamer was visiting the U.K. in August 1920, so he decided to remain here and died at Clun, Shropshire, in September 1925; sold with a quantity of copied research, including family photographs.
Around 75 European officers and men escaped the massacre at Isandhlwana, John Joseph Horne appearing on the list of survivors posted to Helpmekaar on 24 January 1879.
'A surprising number of lsandhlwana survivors has been revealed by the 50 years' peace celebrations. Mr. John J. Horne, an organiser of the Newcastle Mounted Volunteer Corps in 1875, and one of the survivors of lsandhlwana, is still hale and hearty and lives in Durban.
His account of the preparations for the battle at lsandhlwana shed new light on why no laager was formed. He and his corps were stationed at the far end of the camp and two members of his corps, Berning and Dinckleman, were on vedette duty about four miles out of camp Dinckleman rode in to Home with the report that the natives were approaching in mass formation.
Colonel Dumford, then in command, rode up, and Home passed on the report to him. The Colonel ordered the dispatching of the ox wagons and the formation of a laager, but shortly afterwards Colonel Pullin rode up with an auxiliary force and the laager was not formed. Why the order was countermanded is not known to Horne.
Just 38 South Africa Medals were issued to the Newcastle Mounted Rifles, at least seven of whom were killed in action on 22 January 1879.
Trooper Sibthorpe is confirmed as one of the European survivors of Isandhlwana (The Noble 24th, by Norman Holme refers).

Q: dGrid table scroll horizontally programmatically Is there a method in dGrid which let's you scroll to a certain column in the table, I have a table which is scrollable horizontally and I want to know if there is possibility to do something like:
myGrid.scrollToColumn(someColumnToScrollTo);

I know I can scroll vertically to some row, is there anything similar for what I need?

A: As kfranqueiro (Dojo 1.x committer and dgrid maintainer) said here:
https://github.com/SitePen/dgrid/issues/360

Firstly, there is a scrollTo method on dgrid instances, which you can
  pass an object with x or y properties to scroll in a platform-agnostic
  manner

still him, here he use that function:
https://github.com/SitePen/dgrid/issues/1279

grid.scrollTo({ y: index * grid.get('rowHeight') })

you need to pass x instead of y and the offset you need instead of index * grid.get('rowHeight')

Autodesk Residency — slicelab inc.
Slice Lab was part of the 2015 Autodesk Residency Program at Pier 9. During our stay there, we focused mainly on pushing the limits of the 3D printing capabilities within the Jewelry making process using the Autodesk Ember 3D Printer. During that period, we developed 4 jewelry collections inspired by the suspended weightlessness of delicate marine life. After studying the motion patterns of sea creatures, we captured and designed digital forms that were then actualized by the printer. The prints were used to create silver casts for the final products that were then polished and finished to create a stunning suite of jewelry pieces.

Gucci Mane is getting ready for 'Trap God 3' with "Stand 4 It"
6 years ago by Kiku Shinfuku
Alright, so Gucci Mane is still in jail, and he will be for a while, but that hasn't meant that music has stopped pouring out from the Southern trap artist. He's gearing up for the release of Trap God 3 out on October 17th, which for people like me means that Friday is gearing up to be a special day.
To prepare, he's released a premiere of "Stand 4 It," which is produced by notable producer Dun Deal. The track is strong, and highlights the drawing power of the Atlanta artist and what he's fully capable of, and I don't think I need to go beyond that really. Just check out the song.
Someone on twitter made the comment that Gucci Mane is changing the game behind bars, and that he is. Basically, I'm just super excited for this album to come out, and whether or not he's behind bars, he's still out there grinding to prove that he's a real trap god.

DENVER—As the legal cannabis industry grows throughout the United States, the industry's leading service provider, General Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX: CANN), is expanding its presence on the East Coast with the opening of a New York office.
The New York office provides General Cannabis a strategic location to better serve existing East Coast clients while also attracting new talent and partnerships as the cannabis market in the eastern U.S. continues to develop. Further, the opening of the New York office provides a hub for current clients looking for East Coast expansion opportunities.
General Cannabis provides comprehensive business services for all sectors of the cannabis industry. The Company specializes in cultivation management, operations consulting, business development, security, marketing and apparel, and capital solutions for its robust client base. The Company, headquartered in Denver, has clients and subsidiaries based in Arizona, California, Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and now New York.
The adult-use cannabis market in New England is developing quickly. Massachusetts and Maine became the first states on the East Coast to legalize adult-use cannabis through voter referendums in 2016, joining a cadre of western states that have legalized adult-use possession and sales. In 2018,Vermont became the first state to legalize adult-use cannabis via legislation. New Jersey is on a path to full legalization under the support of Gov. Phil Murphy. Meanwhile, Florida's medical marijuana program, which was expanded in 2016 through a voter-approved ballot measure, is projected to become one of the largest markets in the nation over the next few years.
General Cannabis is the comprehensive national resource for the highest-quality service providers available to the regulated cannabis industry. We are a trusted partner to the cultivation, production and retail sides of the cannabis business. We do this through a combination of strong operating divisions such as security, marketing, operational consulting and products, real estate and financing. As a synergistic holding company, our divisions are able to leverage the strengths of each other, as well as a larger balance sheet, to succeed. Our website address is www.generalcann.com.

Insurance At The Box Office
We know first hand, insurance isn't all that exciting. But with summer blockbuster season upon us, we thought it would be cool to check out some of Hollywood's great movies that have an insurance hook. According to the Internet Movie Database, the world's most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content (imdb.com), there are over 1,500 TV episodes and movies that have insurance involved in some way, shape or form.
Here's a few of our favourites!
Directed by Nick Cassavetes
Starring Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall, Gabriela Oltean
What's it about: A father, whose insurance won't cover his son's heart transplant, takes the hospital's emergency room hostage until the doctors agree to perform the operation.
Why watch it: Who doesn't want to see Denzel lose it on the hospital and its employees? The film tackles the unfairness of American healthcare system in an accessible, entertaining manner that will strike a chord with anyone who's ever waited in a doctor's office, emergency room or hospital bed.
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Starring Matt Damon, Danny DeVito, Claire Danes
What's it about: Newby Memphis, Tenn., lawyer Rudy Baylor (Matt Damon) and his streetwise partner Deck Shifflet (Danny DeVito) take on Great Benefit Insurance over a denied claim for a bone marrow transplant on a 22-year-old man dying of leukemia.
Why watch it: A David vs. Goliath story, The Rainmaker is a good one with a small-time lawyer going up against a giant insurance corporation and its army of attorneys.
The Incredibles (2004)
Directed by Brad Bird
Starring Craig T. Nelson, Samuel L. Jackson, Holly Hunter
What's it about: A former crime-fighter, Bob, is now just another bored suburbanite, pacing in his boring cubicle at Insuricare where the closest he gets to acts of derring-do is finding loopholes in insurance policies. That all changes when Bob and his superhero family are called back into action to save the world.
Why watch it: It never takes itself "too" seriously, as so many of the live-action superhero movies do, and, because of it, The Incredibles is better than 99.9% of them. Besides that, it's a movie the whole family can watch and it's funny, exciting and visually brilliant.
Directed by Peter Weir
Starring Jim Carrey, Ed Harris, Laura Linney
What's it about: A satirical comedy predating the advent of reality TV, the Truman Show stars Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank, an insurance salesman/adjuster who discovers in his 30th year that his entire life is actually a television show.
Why watch it: A film that actually makes the audience think, and is about ideas. Jim Carey is brilliant as the confused insurance salesman who just wants the truth about his life. When everything seems like it doesn't add up, it just keeps getting more complicated and giving the viewer one hell of a good movie.

The Golf Gods come straight outta the Old Testament, imposing fire, brimstone and shanks. A polytheistic group, their ranks include tricksters and sirens, prone to drop a rare long putt simply to ensure continued play and consequent suffering. And they grow particularly cruel when age starts turning every par 4 into driver, three-wood and wedge.
Indeed, a friend in his late 70s plays the exact same series of shots over 18 holes, with only a few yards variance, five days a week. He seems not to notice the crushing redundancy, but it's like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, perdition on earth. It's also an alarming foreshadowing, as the years creep into my fade-plagued game.


What Should You Consider When Purchasing a Water Heater?
Traditional or Tankless – New tankless water heaters are known to save space and energy, but traditional storage tank heaters have lower upfront costs and are more efficient than they used to be.
Equipment Capacity – When determining the capacity of your new system, you must consider how many people live in your home more so than the home size itself. Your water heater will have to work overtime if there are many members of your family that require hot showers in the morning.
Energy Efficient – Purchasing a system with a higher "Energy Factor" rating will ensure an energy efficient system. It is best to find a rating between .50-.80 for optimum performance.
Price vs. Quality – It's true that you can find a fairly inexpensive system that will appear to work fine, but after doing a little research you might realize that you will spend more on your utility bill in the long run than buying a higher quality system upfront. If you purchase a quality system, it will work more efficiently and lessen your bills over time.

Man, as I sit back and reflect on my life, there have been some amazing life changing adventures. I have visited 17 different countries which clearly has been so inspirational to how I cook and prepare my unique dishes. I live a laid back kind of life and try to live each day as sweet as I can.

Chronology of Hu Jia's Case
Hu Jia spends 168 days under house arrest.
Police take Hu Jia away from his home and detain him incommunicado for 41 days. His wife Zeng Jinyan starts a blog retracing the steps she takes in trying to find out his whereabouts and the reasons for his detention.
August 2006 to March 2007:
Hu spends 214 days under house arrest.
February 1, 2007:
Hu and Zeng release a documentary about his house arrest and the constant police surveillance they have to endure. "Prisoner of Freedom City" is widely distributed on internet.
Police lift the house arrest of Hu. Hu and Zeng are allowed to travel abroad for a few weeks.
Zeng Jinyan is selected as one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people globally.
Minutes before the couple are to board a flight for a two-month trip to Europe, Hu and Zeng are stopped by police officers. Police reimpose Hu's house arrest.
Along with 42 Chinese intellectuals and activists, Hu co-signs an open letter, "One World, One Dream: Universal Human Rights," calling for greater attention to human rights on the occasion of the Olympics.
Hu Jia and Teng Biao, a fellow human rights activist and leading civil rights lawyer, publish an open letter entitled "The Real China and the Olympics." In this letter, the two authors document specific and wide-ranging violations of human rights by the government, and call on the international community to hold Beijing to the promises it made when bidding to host the Games, which included improving human rights.
Mid-November 2007
Hu and Zeng's daughter Qianci is born.
Hu testifies via audio link at a European Parliament hearing. In his testimony, he criticizes rights abuses related to the preparations for the Beijing Games and accuses the ruling Chinese Communist Party of using the Olympics as a platform to strengthen itself.
Hu is taken away from his home by the police. Police confiscate all communication equipment, including computers, a video recorder, a digital recorder, and cell phones, including Zeng's cell phone. Zeng and Qianci are confined at home under police surveillance.
Hu's mother engages lawyer Li Jinsong to serve as Hu's defense counsel.
Zeng and Qianci are confined at home under police surveillance. The police take over an apartment adjacent to the one occupied by Hu and Zeng, install CCTV cameras and prevent any visitors from visiting Zeng and Qianci.
Police turn down the first request by Hu's lawyer to see his client, on the basis that his case involves "state secrets." Cases involving "state secrets" in China entail the suspension of critical due process rights for the defendant.
Thirty prominent intellectuals, lawyers, and dissidents publish a petition on behalf of Hu, asking for his release.
Police place one of Hu's lawyers under police surveillance and confine him at home for a few hours in a Beijing hotel to prevent him from meeting foreign journalists.
A letter from Hu to his family is transmitted by the authorities.
Police turn down a second application from Hu's lawyer to visit him. Police tell his lawyers that Hu is not eligible for bail.
Hu's family and his lawyer are notified by the prosecutor's office that Hu's formal arrest had been approved on suspicion of "inciting subversion of state power."
Hu's lawyer, Li Jinsong, is able to visit him for the first time. The meeting is monitored by the police. Li reports that Hu showed no signs of having been mistreated.
Zeng is allowed to visit her husband for the first time since his arrest on December 27, 2007.
Teng Biao, who with Hu Jia co-wrote the open letter "The Real China and the Olympics" in September 2007 and who has been active in advocating for Hu, is taken away by the police. During his 40 hours in detention, the police threaten to arrest him and to have him dismissed from his position as university lecturer if he does not stop raising Hu Jia's case, writing about the Olympics, and accepting interviews from foreign journalists.
Hu Jia's lawyers and relatives are notified that his trial will open on March 18.
Hu Jia's wife Zeng Jinyan learns that she will not been allowed to attend the trial.
April 3, 2008:
Beijing's First Intermediate People's Court sentences Hu Jia to three years and a half imprisonment and one year of deprivation of political rights. His lawyers announce their intention to appeal the verdict. The deadline for the appeal is April 13, ten days after the date of the sentence.
Hu's lawyer Li Fangping tells AFP that the Chinese government has illegally blocked Hu from appealing his prison sentence by the April 13 deadline: "Li said he and other defense lawyers had been repeatedly prevented from visiting their client at the Beijing No. 1 Municipal Detention Centre. On April 13, the last day to lodge an appeal, the detention centre said Hu could not meet with lawyers because he had been sent for a physical examination required before prisoners are formally transferred to prison, Li said."
Human Rights Watch releases its report, China's Forbidden Zones: Shutting the Media out of Tibet and Other "Sensitive" Stories, on media censorship in China. The report notes that after Hu's arrest and subsequent conviction, "the media lost access to him," and that "police also now routinely block journalists' physical access to his wife Zeng who has been under house arrest since May 18, 2007." The report recommends that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) demand the release by the Chinese government of Hu Jia and other jailed or detained "individuals who have been criticized for calling for greater human rights in the run-up to the Beijing Games."
August 4-24, 2008:
The 2008 Summer Olympic Games are held in Beijing. On August 18, Human Rights Watch issues a press release reiterating long-standing demands that the TOP Olympic sponsors take steps in line with their commitment to corporate social responsibility, including the release of Hu Jia and other activists. None of the twelve TOP sponsors issues a public call for Hu's release.
The European Parliament announces that Hu Jia has been nominated for the 2008 Sakharov Prize, along with seven other human rights advocates. The winner is to be announced in mid-October, and the award ceremony is to take place at the Strasbourg plenary session on December 17.
Hu Jia leads the shortlist for the 2008 Sakharov Prize, following a vote by the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs and Development committees. The other two candidates on the shortlist are Alexander Kozulin (Belarus) and Abbot Appollinaire Malu Malu (Democratic Republic of Congo).
On the eve of the six-month anniversary of Hu's conviction, Human Rights Watch calls on the Chinese government to "immediately exonerate or grant medical parole to imprisoned human rights activist Hu Jia," and to "cease the harassment and surveillance of Hu's wife Zeng Jinyan and infant daughter Qianci."
Six-month anniversary of Hu's conviction.
The Associated Press (in an article posted by the Washington Post website) notes that Hu Jia and fellow Chinese activist Gao Zhisheng are among the "front-runners" to win the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize.
Finland's former President Martti Ahtisaari wins the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize. The British daily The Guardian comments: "There had also been speculation that the winner could be the more controversial figure of Hu Jia, a Chinese dissident, to highlight China's human rights record. But in selecting Ahtisaari for the prize, the committee has chosen a safer recipient who is responsible for more traditional peace work."
Hu Jia wins the European Parliament's 2008 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought. In announcing the award in Strasbourg, EP President Hans-Gert Pöttering observes that: "By awarding the Sakharov Prize to Hu Jia, the European Parliament firmly and resolutely acknowledges the daily struggle for freedom of all Chinese human rights defenders."

This is installment #15 in a continuing series of Changes in Washington Practice Reports.
Mediation is becoming a much more common approach to the possible settlement of disputes. However, if an agreement cannot be reached through mediation, the result may be a lawsuit.
Under such conditions, either party may seek to exclude all mediation evidence from the subsequent trial.
Typically, a motion in limine is usually made to the Court at the beginning of a jury trial for a protective order to exclude any information from mediation efforts from being heard by the jury.
A motion in limine needs to describe the evidence that is to be excluded. Otherwise, the Court cannot adequately evaluate whether or not to grant the motion.
When the results of mediation are to be excluded, it is important for an attorney to have adequate information about the mediation to present the motion. Therefore, one aspect of mediation should always be to prepare a strategy to bring a subsequent motion in limine.
A sample of such a motion has been included by Finley and McGuire in the 2013-2014 edition of Washington Motions in Limine, volume 30 of Washington Practice (section 9:64).
A "preliminary statement" describes the underlying action (an accident) and states that a mediation has taken place.
The motion then describes the basis on which the Court can choose to exclude the evidence, and arguments why a favorable ruling should be made.
The opposing party may choose to argue why all or some aspects of the mediation process should be admitted by the Court.
Such an argument might be made on the basis that the evidence was already available through other means and was not an essential part of the mediation discussion. Or that the mediation records are inadequate to support a conclusion that the evidence was a subject of the mediation.

An engagement party for Kimberley West's friends turns somber when the fiancé describes mysterious lights he'd seen at the family's emerald mine. On the way home from the party, Kim can't shake a feeling of foreboding.
Scott carefully navigated the car along the winding, deserted road. The car's headlights barely pierced the dark night. Kim peered into the gloom, searching for the driveway that would lead them to the lodge.
The car rounded a sharp curve in the road.
Kim leaned forward. "Hey, isn't that Charlie's car?"
Up ahead, a black Ford expedition had been pulled off to the side of the road, the rear end jutting toward the road as if the owner had made a sudden stop. Its rear emergency lights blinked. The headlights from Scott's car illuminated a figure in the passenger seat.
Scott pulled off the road and parked in front of Charlie's car. As Kim stepped out, Rachael raced to them.
"Thank goodness you're here!" She gripped Kim's arm. "Charlie's in trouble, I just know he is."
"Where is he?"
Rachael swung her arm dramatically at the forest.
"In there somewhere. He said he saw those lights again, the ones his brothers teased him about. He ran into the woods with nothing to protect himself but a flashlight. Told me to stay here and–"
A popping sound came from deep in the forest.
"That was a gun!" Rachael charged toward the forest, screaming Charlie's name.
"Rachael, no!" Kim yelled.
Her friend paid less attention than Rory chasing a rabbit. Despite the ridiculous high-heeled shoes, Rachael quickly disappeared into the trees.
"Get in the car, lock the doors and call 9-1-1," Scott said before racing after Rachael.
Kim dashed to Scott's car, grabbed the heavy flashlight from under the front seat and followed the others into the forest.

I've had the privilege of working with Mike for over 3 years, initially through Performics where he hired me to support his efforts to optimize and grow the affiliate channel for T-Mobile and later as a client through Streamline. I've always been impressed by Mike's work ethic and dedication to his business. Mike is well versed in all aspects of online marketing and is an expert in affiliate marketing, call tracking and analytics. Mike has multiple internal and external stakeholders to align with on strategy and execution to ensure the success of the T-Mobile affiliate program and is a collaborative problem solver and a team player. One of my favorite qualities of Mike is his ability to think strategically, cut through red tape, and develop a winning strategy. Any company would be lucky to have Mike on their team.
Mike Currey was the best associate I have ever had the pleasure of working with. In my 23 years as an executive in the Entertainment business I have never had such a detailed and responsible person working in my dept. Mike has great social skills and has the ability to multi task beyond any means. He basically ran my department while at ICM and made representing over 50 clients manageable. I believe having Mike under your employment would be the best move you could make.
During Mike's tenure at Razorfish we worked closely together and during that time I witnessed him quickly learn and excel within the account management position. Mike proved himself to be very process oriented as he created documentation, templates, and workflows for the team that became highly beneficial within the project management aspect of the role. Mike worked hard to ensure he was highly efficient within his day to day activity as he was at any given time managing multiple account and work streams. He was able to successfully manage these timelines and successfully meeting the needs of the clients, agency, and publisher partners. The account management roles is constantly changing depending on the needs of the clients and Mike proved he was able to adapt to these required changes while still maintaining a high standard of work.
Mike is the best ad executive I have worked with. He went the extra mile to help the Tacoma Dome create a great marketing campaign on a limited budget for a fall event (Cirque du Soleil – Alegria). Most impressive was his ability to create artwork out of minimal information and adjust sizes to fit multiple layouts. His follow through was most appreciated. I highly recommend working with Mike.
Mike is a tenacious, thoughtful, smart sales professional, who would be an asset to any company.
Mike posesses that rare mix of an strong work ethic and a gentle soul. He is a good man with integrity and heart.
Mike and I worked together at Nettwerk Music Group. It was a pleasure working with Mike as he was approachable and professional.


Left-wing commentators accuse PM Orbán of challenging the common values that unite the 27 member countries of the European Union, while pro-government pundits argue that the Hungarian government is just defending the national interest.
In his regular weekly editorial in 168 óra, Tamás Mészáros believes Prime Minister Orbán is over-stretching the tolerance limit of the European Union with his constitutional reforms. Even European People's Party politicians, he suggests, "are horrified by Hungary's attempts to restore interwar right-wing habits," and do not believe Fidesz's claim to be the only bulwark against the far right Jobbik. On the contrary, Mészáros believes, Mr Orbán's party is progressively coming to resemble Jobbik itself. He finds that government representatives are unable to defend their "makeshift constitution" in professional argument, and their only excuse is to accuse the European Left of conspiring against them and the European Institutions of bias at their expense.
On Thursday, the day after the hearing in the European Parliament on Hungary's constitutional amendments, Népszabadság carried three columns on the issue.
Ervin Tamás writes that Mr Orbán is a "hot potato" for Europe, whose representatives are trying hard to domesticate "the continent's prodigal son." However, Mr Orbán himself does not believe that he is at fault. On the contrary, he thinks the "European model" is in crisis, and more hierarchy and more discipline are necessary to put things straight. He is ready to compromise, whenever it is unavoidable, Tamás continues, but will not lose sight of his strategic targets.
In Demokrata (print version), Gábor Bencsik suggests that Mr Orbán has been targeted as a scapegoat for the failure of Hungary's liberals. The courageous, basically left-wing intellectuals who represented urban dissent in Hungary during the last two decades of Communist rule, were convinced that they were destined to rule the country under democracy. They lost the first free elections in 1990 to right-wing forces, but joined the victorious Socialists in 1994 and governed in alliance with them again from 2002 to 2010 (during the last year simply supporting a "crisis management cabinet"). As a result of the 2010 elections, they practically disappeared from the party scene, and cannot understand that failure. As a surrogate explanation, Bencsik thinks, they point their fingers at PM Viktor Orbán, as someone who has grabbed power through his "anti-democratic witchcraft." Bencsik compares the "manhunt" for Viktor Orbán to the 1692 Salem witch trials, when prominent members of the local community could not tolerate the ascent of newcomers and accused them of witchcraft. This time, he explains, Hungary's liberals have powerful allies in the ruling Western liberal élite which help them play the role of the "good guys" against the "bad guys", just like when they were criticising the Communist regime.
In Heti Válasz, editor Gábor Borókai writes that Mr Orbán is facing the last year of his second term in office with a sizeable advantage over the opposition in terms of voters' support. "Despite all his mistakes", he adds. The reason is that he has realised that the European Union is not a "community of love." "By now we have learned that we have to fight for ourselves or we will be subordinated to other people's interests," he explains. And Mr Orbán is the only actor on the Hungarian political scene, who is known for not merely trying to please his counterparts in the west. His opponents, Borókai argues, are caught on the horns of a difficult dilemma: they are too weak to vigorously represent the national interest abroad, and their efforts to seek foreign support make them lose support at home. "That's too big a handicap for anyone to win the vote," Borókai opines.

Des Moines Register Columnist Rekha Basu invited me to be a guest on her online TV show called "Between the Lines." She and her three regular panelists - Sophia Douglas, Leslie Gearhart, and Barbara Lukavsky - asked me lots of great questions about meditation and mindfulness. It was a fun experience.
I watched it this morning, Charlie. I thought it was wonderful. You are looking and sounding well. You are a fine spokesman for meditation, and it looked as though Rekha and the others truly enjoyed listening to what you had to say.

In high school, I played in every band the school had, from marching to jazz. I worked on the craft, learning how to play different styles and increasing in speed and dexterity. I continued to spend hours in the basement, now influenced by the styles of bands like Rush, Yes and The Who. Since girls were more attracted to guitar players and singers than drummers, there was plenty of time to practice!
And then an opportunity arose to be part of a professional working band. I was pumped! Only problem was that the band was called The Country Travelers and its specialties were square dances and polkas. It wasn't exactly my thing (name one great country drummer!), but I took the gig.
It was pretty boring most of the time, and I think every venue we played in western Pennsylvania had a deer head mounted on the wall, but it was a paying gig and it honed my chops. Moreover, it taught me a valuable lesson: that laying down a steady beat is far more important for a drummer in the real world of a band than showing off. Drums are never going to be a solo instrument, unless you're Neil Peart or Buddy Rich (and even then, nobody wants to hear that for two hours). As a drummer, you are only important insofar as you support everyone else in the band and make things good for the audience. It's about being solid more than being spectacular.
When I became a preacher, I began to see how the same principle applied to homiletics. Just like learning the drums, I learned all the exegetical rudiments for bringing forth the Word. When I first started, I felt like I needed to throw everything I had learned that week into the sermon as a way of impressing the congregation. I looked for the killer illustration, the fantastic filler, and the climactic roll-out to bring it all to a close.
But the reality is that no one really cares about that stuff. Most of the time when I have written a sermon that I'm very impressed with, someone will inevitably say, if not in so many words, "Just play, man." The people of God are looking for steady preachers who bring forth a message they can dance to. They're not there to watch you and be impressed with you, but to listen to God and pick up God's rhythm for their lives. Good preaching is about faithfulness over time, banging the gospel drum steadily and solidly, not about brief flashes of your own personal brilliance.
Stewart Copeland, the former drummer of The Police, once gave advice to his fellow drummers that went something like this: "Remember, the singer doesn't need you, but you need the singer. Without the rest of the band, you're just making noise." I think that's great advice for us preachers as well. We've been called to serve the rest of the band, the congregation, and to back up the real frontman, Jesus Christ. The rest is just so much noise.


explore the use of flanges and bend overrides.
but the flanged tool can also be used to create features from edges on the model.
and drag the arrow down to start creating new flanges.
so that the outside face of the new flange is flush with the end of the existing body.
so that the bend is outside of the original selected edge, a tangent solution.
which will build the new feature without cutting a mieder for relief.
needs to be built when selecting options.
which will connect to screws passing through the holes in the base plate.
we used radius corners in the sketch to define the bends.
we can't simply add new sketches to get the same radius.
but that's not always the proper approach either.
and set the value to be five millimeters to match the previous bends.
the part will update, showing the change.
the radius of the sketched bend and the bend override.
But for this part, we'll simply enter the values manually.
which is the distance the sketch was offset plus the thickness of the material.
So, it needs to be 52 millimeters.
and we can see that it's perfectly aligned with the top base of the base plate.
so that now we can say okay to create the new features.
by selecting the lower inside edges of the flanges we just placed.
we can begin pulling the new flange in.
even though that means they're developing toward one another.
being added to go around the holes in the base plate.
applied is again the default based on the sheet metal rule.
so we will leave it as is.
to simplify things for manufacturing.
a way that won't require complex cuts in the flat pattern.
the edges of the new flange and the last flange remain aligned.
We will leave the value at 40 millimeters and click okay to create the new flanges.
let's add the holes to the flanges.
so I don't have to pick the individual edges.
the extrusion profiles and pull them up until they go through the sheet metal part.
which is the switch plate.
the baseplate to be able to clearly see the holes.
pull-down just like it is in the model workspace.
and set the radius to two millimeters.
this time using a radius of five millimeters.
which for this part, means creating cut-out for switches.
create a small rectangle near the upper-left corner.
the rectangle to 20 millimeters and the height to 10 millimeters.
the top base and 10 millimeters in from the edge of the top base.
Next, we'll create a series of the shapes.
roughly placing a three by three pattern.
and use a rectangular tool to create another three by three pattern of it as well.
the upper edge and 45 millimeters on the right edge of a rectangle.
Then, we can extrude all the holes through the switch plate.
so they don't go through the bottom flanges.
drag a distance or enter the thickness value of the material.
a named parameter that controls the thickness to set the value.
I'll click okay to create the features for now.
go to the modified pull-down and select change parameters.
The value of the thickness was given the name D9.
noting the capitalization, and set the expression to two millimeters.
and say okay to update the feature.
so we can proceed to the next lesson.

Cobra shows you don't have to max out on size with its Bio Cell Pro driver
By Mike Stachura
Just because the rules limit driver size to 460 cubic centimeters doesn't mean the only way to innovate is to max out the size. One example is Cobra's new Bio Cell Pro ($400).
It's only 440cc, but it features the lowest center of gravity of any Cobra driver. One benefit of a lower CG is less spin, and less spin with a high launch angle can produce more distance.
One player who's already bought into Bio Cell Pro is Cobra staffer Rickie Fowler, who has been playing a version this year. The all-titanium design has eight loft settings between 7 and 10 degrees (including three fade lofts). It's available in three colors: black, blue aster and Fowler's vibrant orange.
