Items can get delayed in the post especially before and after busy holiday periods such as Christmas and Bank Holidays or if there is adverse weather conditions or postal strikes. These factors are outside our control but we have strict processes in place to protect our customers and ourselves against loss damage or theft. If your item has not turned up please follow the procedures outlined and then contact us if it still hasn't shown up.
• Most of our items are too large to fit through the letterbox and from experience postmen dont always leave "whilst you were out" cards. Therefore please check with your neighbours and contact your local Royal Mail collection in case your item is waiting to be picked up.
• Check that the address you have on eBay and PayPal is the address you are now residing. If it is not please contact that address

If you refuse to sign the declaration form please note that your information will still be submitted to Royal Mail. By doing so we are making eBay a safer place to buy and sell.
Please note opening an eBay case before the 15 working days will not speed up the process outlined above and can in fact delay matters, nor will leaving negative feedback.

I have a problem. You probably do too, if you're a gamer. I'm talking about the inability to stop using life-restoring phoenix downs. But, that's just something in a video game. What if they actually existed, what if we could use phoenix downs in real life?
They would probably be abused—no different than a drug, I'm guessing! Hence, this funny fake PSA by Cracked on the dangers of phoenix down abuse. Check it out:

Hi Everyone,
I`m working in a school and at present our network is sat behind a VERY restrictive firewall and proxy, the school have decided they want to host thier own website in-house, to do this I need to contact the EMBC (our ISP) and put a written request in for an external IP, it also suggests reading thier firewall policy which iv done, basicaly in a nutshell it says they will remove thier firewall protection for that perticular IP.
Am I right in thinking that because our webserver would be on our LAN if an attacker compromised it, they could potentially compromise our whole network. and because the IP I specify to them is an internal LAN one I cant put it on a network of its own. It does state that we have to have a firewall in operation protecting it, could anyone make any suggestions as to how this could be set up?

Dave Chappelle Recalls First Kanye West Meeting [VIDEO]by Thomas Chau
Dave Chappelle appeared on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' last night to promote his shows at Radio City Music Hall where he will be performing from June 18 to June 26 with some guest musical acts such as The Roots, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Janelle Monae and Erykah Badu.
During his interview, Fallon asked about meeting Kanye West for the first time, who made his national TV debut appearing on The Chappelle Show with rapper Common in 2004.
"You could tell he was going to be a star. I didn't know him until he did the show," Chapelle admitted. "It was like Muhammad Ali in Olympic Village. He just knew he was going to get the gold."
"It was the day that Jay Z's 'Black' album came out," Chappelle continued, "and it was me and Common and [Talib] Kweli and Kanye, this guy that nobody knew. The record starts, and Jay Z says on one record, 'Kanye, he's a genius / He did it again' and Kanye stood up. First time he spoke all day, and he goes, 'STOP THE RECORD! AND REWIND THAT!'"
He later tells the story about showing Kanye some sketches from 'The Chappelle Show' backstage and in the middle of showing him clips, Kanye's cellphone rang. Chappelle recalled that before Kanye hung up, he said to the person on the phone, "Because my life is dope, and I do dope [beep]."
Sounds like Kanye was very much sure he was headed for stardom back then! Click on the video above to watch Chappelle's anecdote about a young Kanye West.

Download The Yellow Wallpaper Study Guide
Form and Content
(Masterpieces of Women's Literature)
The structure of The Yellow Wallpaper creates a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The story is written in a journal-style, first-person narrative which includes nine short entries, each entry indicated by a small space between it and the last. The journal entries span three months during which John attempts to cure his wife's "nervous condition" through the rest cure of Weir Mitchell, which assumes that intellectual stimulation damages a woman physically and psychologically. In the beginning of the story, the narrator appears sane and believable, but as the story continues, the reader realizes that she is unreliable because she withholds and confuses information. By the end, the structure—short paragraphs, fragmented and disjointed thought patterns— reflects the narrator's mental disorder. Through the revelations contained in the journal, the reader is allowed an intimate view of the narrator's gradual mental breakdown.
The journal begins when John and the narrator move into a temporary home John has procured to provide the narrator the break from routine that he believes necessary for her rest and recovery. She, on the other hand, doubts the necessity of such a move and wonders if the mysterious house is haunted. John reveals his superior attitude toward his wife by laughing at her "fancies," a response which the narrator finds quite natural because, as she explains, one must expect such treatment in marriage. She even suggests that his indifference to her opinions on the house and her illness keeps her from getting well faster. Her suggestion turns out to be a fateful prediction.
Against her wishes, John decides that he and his wife will sleep in the attic room of the house, which at one point may have been a nursery. Actually, the room seems to be more of a prison than a place for children to play. The windows have bars on them, and the bed is nailed to the floor. There is even a gate at the top of the stairs. Even more disturbing to the narrator, however, is the yellow wallpaper, peeling or pulled off the walls in strips. In the beginning, the paper's pattern jolts and annoys the narrator's sensibilities, but later her attitude has a bizarre change.
The narrator's morbid fascination with the yellow wallpaper is the first clue of her degenerating sanity. She begins to attribute lifelike characteristics to the paper, saying that it knows how it affects her and that its eyes stare at her. She even begins to believe that the paper has two levels, a front pattern and a shadowy figure trapped behind its bars. The narrator betrays the progression of her illness when she begins to believe that the figure behind the wallpaper is a woman, trapped like herself.
The woman behind the wallpaper becomes an obsession. The narrator begins to crawl, like the woman behind the paper, around the edge of the room, making a groove or "smooch" on the wall. The narrator begins to catch glimpses of the woman out the windows, creeping around the garden on her hands and knees. She also starts peeling off the wallpaper in an effort to completely free the woman (or women, as she soon believes) trapped in that second layer. John and his sister, Jennie, begin to suspect that something is terribly wrong, and yet they are pleased with her apparent progress. She appears more normal to them at times because she is saving her energy for nighttime, when the woman behind the paper is most active. Her apparent normality is merely a façade.
The story's climactic scene occurs as their stay in the rented house is coming to a close. On their last night, John is once again in town attending to a patient, and the narrator asks Jennie not to disturb her. Left alone, the narrator locks herself in the nursery to allow uninterrupted time for peeling wallpaper and thus freeing the shadowy woman. As the narrator works, she identifies more closely and intensely with the trapped woman until, ultimately, she loses her sense of individual identity and...

Thoughts on The New Pope and Unity in Christ
I am a born-again Christian who attends a non-denominational Protestant church. At first thought you might think the election of a new Pope should not matter to me, or that I might even scoff at Catholic claims of papal authority and the whole black smoke/white smoke conclave theatrics. However, a major characteristic (and dare I say "admirable quality") Catholics have in their ranks is organizational unity (for the most part) of their 1.2 billion adherents worldwide. In contrast, under the Protestant umbrella which approximately 840 million subscribe to some flavor or another, there are more denominations than you can shake a stick at.
At the top of this organizational unity within Roman Catholicism is of course the Bishop of Rome – the Pope. Since Pope Benedict announced his historic resignation, I have immersed myself in researching Catholic beliefs and theology out of mere curiosity and intrigue. As an adult convert to Christianity, everything is still relatively new to me so I just try to soak it all in with an open mind.

Jessica Simpson went around the world looking at international ideas of beauty for her new VH1 series, "Jessica Simpson's The Price of Beauty," and on Friday the singer revealed filming it has changed her in many ways, including romantically.
"I definitely carry myself different after experiencing this," Jessica said of her around the world trip with best friends Caycee Cobb and hair guru Ken Paves. "There is something about myself that is so unique that I found that I'm proud of and any man I find — they're gonna be darn lucky."
The show, produced by the group behind "Wife Swap" and "Secret Millionaire," sees Jessica traveling the world to visit countries including Japan, Thailand, France, Brazil, Uganda, Morocco and India looking at what constitutes beauty, and Jessica called the trip "inspiring."
"I think going around the world and seeing all these incredible, courageous women, it really inspired all of us to find the best within ourselves," Jessica said of the trio's trip. "I feel like I walk around with so much more pride in who I am as a woman, as a person… and I got to do it with all my best friends."
In addition to starring in the series, which premieres on March 15 at 10 PM, Jessica is one of several executive producers of the show alongside her father and manager, Joe Simpson.
And the series has at least one episode that looks at Jessica's work with Operation Smile, a charity organization that helps give surgeries to children with cleft palettes. When asked if her work with the group had changed her mind about things like reconstructive surgery, Jessica said it had.
"I am not against reconstructive surgery if it's for a woman to have more confidence," she said. "If that's truly the reason I think I would support it."
The trip brought Jessica, who last year faced criticisms over her own weight after she appeared fuller figured in high-waisted jeans at a concert, to at least one country where she was told she was too thin to be considered beautiful.
"The men told Caycee and I we would have to be in a fattening hut for… three months for them to even consider marrying us," Jessica laughed.
Jessica said the things she saw around the world have given her more confidence in herself.
"It changed me completely because I haven't always had an inner confidence and I haven't always looked at my reflection and loved it," she said. "There was always something I wanted to fix, because someone always looked better.
"It was a very powerful journey," she continued. "If you watch the show, you will definitely see my life change."
Those hoping to catch an early look at the series can log on to VH1.com on March 8 for a sneak peek of the first episode.

Welcome back loyal readers to another volume of The Numbers Game, the series in which I look at past Pilots/Brewers players based on their jersey numbers and hopefully impart a little baseball knowledge or trivia in the process. Today, we look at one of the most transient numbers thus far, the number 7. With the exception of 3 players (Don Money, Dale Sveum and J.J. Hardy), no Brewer has worn the number for more than 2 seasons, and in the case of Danny Perez, he took his "cup of coffee" and promptly spilled it in his lap. So, let's get started shall we?
Seattle Pilots:
No player was assigned the number 7 in the Pilots organization in 1969.
Milwaukee Brewers:
Russ Snyder – 1970: Snyder played the final year of his 12 year major league career with the fledgeling Brewers in 1970 as an outfielder. He batted .232/.270/.315 across 124 games with 64 hits and 16 walks.
Danny Walton – 1971: Walton, who had worn number 12 for the Pilots in 1969 and the Brewers in 1970, would change his number to 7 for the 1971 campaign. With his season just underway for Milwaukee, Walton would be traded to the Yankees on June 7th, 1971 for Bobby Mitchell and…
Frank Tepedino – 1971: Received in the trade for Walton from the Yankees, Tepedino would take Waltons former number for the 1971 season. He would play in 53 games for the Brewers recording a sub-Mendoza batting average of .198 with 21 hits and 4 walks in 106 at bats. On March 31, 1972 his services were purchased back from Milwaukee by the Yankees.
Ron Clark – 1972: Ron Clark is one of the shorter tenured player to put on a Brewers uniform. Acquired on June 20th, 1972 from Oakland for Bill Voss, he would bat a paltry .185 across 22 appearances before being traded on July 28th, 1972 to the Angels for Joe Azcue and…
Syd O'Brien – 1972: O'Brien's 4 year major league career made it's final stop in Milwaukee where he would bat .207/.230/.293 recording 12 hits and 2 walks across 31 appearances.
Don Money – 1973-83: The transient nature of the number 7 would finally halt as it would stay on the back of Don Money for 11 seasons. A 4 time All-Star selection (1974, 1976-78), Money arrived in Milwaukee due to the Phillies needing to make room for future Hall of Famer, Mike Schmidt.
In his first All-Star campaign in 1974, Money would set career marks in hits (178), doubles (32), and at bats (629). His third All-Star campaign highlighted his ability to hit for power as he set career marks in homeruns (25), RBI (83), slugging (.470), and total bases (268). Finally, his fourth All-Star campaign was about consistency as he set career marks in batting average (.293), OBP (.361), and sacrifice hits (14).
After retiring from active play, Money went on to manage for the Brewers in the minor leagues, first for the Single-A Beloit Snappers from 1998-2004, then for Double-A Huntsville from 2005-08, and finally with Triple-A Nashville from 2009-11. After the 2011 season, Money became Milwaukee's special instructor of player development.
No player was assigned the number 7 in the Brewers organization in 1984.
Paul Householder – 1985-86: In 2 seasons with Milwaukee, Householder batted .249/.313/.398 with 94 hits and 34 walks in 121 games.
Dale Sveum – 1987-91: Best known to younger Brewers fans as the current coach of the Cubs, and for being accidentally shot in the ear last year by Robin Yount, Sveum wore number 27 in 1986 before switching to number 7 for his five remaining seasons in Milwaukee. He would bat .243/.299/.382 with 413 hits and 137 walks for the Brewers in his 5 seasons on the team.
It should also be noted that he took over as interim skipper after Ned Yost was fired by the Brewers en-route to their 2008 NLDS appearance against the Phillies. As a manager he has a post season record of 1-3, a record which may not change anytime soon as the manager of the Cubs.
No player was assigned the number 7 in the Brewers organization from 1992 to 1995.
Danny Perez – 1996: Perez appeared in 4 games in 1996. In 4 plate appearances he did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even a strikeout. Just a statline with a lot of zeroes. Moving on.
Brian Banks – 1996-97: The last player to wear number 7 in the AL for Milwaukee (he would wear 25 in 1998 and 23 in 1999), Banks played in 161 games for the Brewers over the course of his 4 seasons. He would bat .248 with 78 hits and 36 walks before being granted free agency on March 28th 2000.
Dave Nilsson – 1998: One of 4 different number that Nilsson would wear in his 8 years with Milwaukee (he would also wear 11, 13 and 14), Nilsson would don the number 7 en route to batting .269/.339/.437 with 83 hits and 33 walks in 1998.
Sean Berry – 1999-2000: Signed by Milwaukee prior to the 1999 season, Berry would play in 106 games and bat .228/.281/.301 with 59 hits and 17 walks. He would struggle mightily in 2000, batting only .152, leading to his release on June 21st, 2000.
Tony Fernandez – 2001: If Fernandez's Brewers' tenure was a headstone, it would read: "Signed 02-08-2001, Released 05-29-2001". Tony, we hardly knew ya!
Alex Sanchez – 2001: Claimed off of waivers by Milwaukee in 2001, Sanchez played in his first game on June 15th, 2001. Despite a disappointing year offensively in 2001 (he batted .206), Sanchez found himself in the role of starting center fielder, wearing number 22 for the Brewers, in 2002 and 2003. His erratic defensive play and bad attitude would get him traded to Detroit during the 2003 season.
On April 3rd, 2005 Sanchez would acquire the dubious distinction of being the first person suspended under the MLB's newly adopted drug policy.
Eric Young – 2002-03: In 247 games as a Brewer, Young batted .271/.340/.392 with 244 hits and 87 walks. His 15 homeruns in 2003 were a career best which nearly doubled his previous high of 8.
No player was assigned the number 7 in the Brewers organization in 2004.
J.J. Hardy – 2005-09: A 2007 National League All-Star, Hardy's career with Milwaukee was marred by injury. In 2004, while still in the minors, Hardy suffered a dislocated shoulder and a torn labrum which cost him his season. Then on May 16th, 2006, Hardy would severely sprain his ankle sliding into Phillies' catcher Sal Fasano at home, resulting in his placement on the 15 day DL. Upon returning to play, Hardy realized that the tendon kept popping in and out of place resulting in the team shutting him down for the season on July 18th, 2006.
In 2007, Hardy would begin to develop some power in his bat hitting 26 homers in 2007 and 24 in 2008. After signing a 1 year extension prior to the 2009 season, Hardy would suffer a power outage that would see him be sent down to the minors on August 12th, 2009. He would be recalled on September 1st and would finish his 2009 campaign batting .229 with 11 homers.
Chris Dickerson – 2010: Acquired on August 9th, 2010 in a trade with the Reds for Jim Edmonds, Dickerson would bat an unimpressive .208 with 5 RBIs in 25 games. To nobody's surprise, Dickerson was traded to the Yankees prior to the 2011 season for pitcher Sergio Mitre.
Felipe Lopez – 2011: Lopez's second stint with Milwaukee, he wore number 3 in 2009, was to be short lived. Acquired on July 28, 2011, for cash considerations from the Tampa Bay Rays, he would be designated for assignment on August 21st, 2011 after hitting .182 in 51 plate appearances for Milwaukee.
Jeremy Reed – 2011: Reed appeared in 7 games for Milwaukee in 2011 recording no hits in 7 at bats while striking out twice.
Norichika Aoki – 2012: In his first of hopefully many MLB seasons, Aoki proved why he was a batting champion in his native Japan. Being able to seemingly deliver clutch hits at will, Aoki batted .288/.355/.433 with 10 home runs, 50 RBIs, 81 runs scored and 30 stolen bases. Not too shabby for a 30 year old rookie!
So there you have it, all of the players who had the fortune (or misfortune) to wear the number 7 for Milwaukee. Come on back tomorrow for part 8.

Listen: The Harrow & The Harvest
The Harrow & The Harvest
Gillian Welch (Acony Records, 2011)
Gillian Welch has described the 10 songs on The Harrow & The Harvest as "10 kinds of miserable." And that's pretty accurate. The characters here find themselves mortified, exiled, overdosed, and finally laid to rest "with a pistol in my vest." These are 21st-century original songs planted firmly in the American old-time folk tradition, the kind that Bob Dylan once described as brimming with "despair . . . sadness . . . triumph, [and] faith in the supernatural."
The music here is, if anything, more authentically rooted than the lyrics. The only instruments are acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica, and "hands and feet." And the melodies are drawn from that vast pool of American music fed by field hollers, spirituals, old English ballads, and Celtic fiddle tunes. Some (say, "Down Along the Dixie Line") could have been Stephen Foster tunes from the 1850s. Others ("Scarlet Town" or "Six White Horses") could be a century older than that.
Welch gained her greatest fame with her contributions to the soundtrack of the 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but her die was cast long before that. On her first album, Revival, in 1996, she sang self-penned Appalachian death ballads that addressed the listener in the persona of Alabama sharecroppers and other displaced time travelers.
Welch's secret weapon is her partner, David Rawlings. All the songs are co-written, and Rawlings contributes close harmony vocals in the best country family band tradition. In addition, Rawlings is an absolute virtuoso on his 1935 Epiphone arch-top guitar. His lead lines, alternately plaintive and propulsive, moan and dance their way through every song, doing the job usually reserved for the fiddle in this music.
If you don't know Welch's recordings, or you only know her from the O Brother soundtrack, this album is an excellent place to begin your acquaintance.

Mark Webb's midlife crisis came in the form of attempting to write speculative fiction at a very slow pace. His wife maintains this is a good outcome considering the more expensive and cliched alternatives. Evidence of Mark's attempts to procrastinate in his writing, including general musings and reviews of books he has been reading, can be found at www.markwebb.name.
One of Mark's very best forms of writing procrastination is to produce the eBook series for AntipodeanSF, which he has been doing since issue 175.

This story is a linking piece to two stories previously published in Antipodean SF, Coffee With God (Issue 245) and Frank's Best Friend (Issue 250) both first drafted whilst living in Western Australia, where I spent the best part of two decades. This piece (ironically written whilst sitting on the bank of Emmagen creek in FNQ) is an attempt, not just to further develop some recycled characters beyond the limitations of the short short story format, but also to give these stories a sense of place, a nod to the multitude of unique landscapes (and people) to be found in WA. The huge distances and wide open spaces between locations are also riddled with untold stories, so many that I find myself still writing them years after moving back to North Queensland.

That's a very versatile piece to swap! I've been talking about organizing a huge blogger swap in Ottawa soon! Wanna come?ReplyDelete
Stay Happy and Positive!
I love those AA skirts, so versatile. I love how you've both styled it! xReplyDelete
We kind of styled it very similar now that I look at your pictures at the same time as mine! I wonder if I did that subconsciously because I know I've seen the way you styled it before haha, hmmm! I'm going to try something different next time I wear it. :)ReplyDelete
I love all three looks, Its always interesting to see how others would wear the same article of clothing!!ReplyDelete
ooo, i love this idea! great skirt; you all wore it well (:ReplyDelete
Ohhh I loveee that skirt! The color is so pretty and I love the textured leggings with it! All are lovely!ReplyDelete
All three looks are awesome! I love the shape and color of the skirt (So...essentially I love the skirt.) And your sweater tights are so cute.ReplyDelete
Love this idea, adorable pics, both of you!ReplyDelete
Hey girl! In regards to your question on my blog, if you sign up for the INDIE e-conference, you have access to the sessions at any time you wish. We know how busy everyone is! ;)ReplyDelete
I'm happy to have met you and some other fashion bloggers last night at the mixer. I am in love with the ethereal look of your blog. I've linked and am excited to see more from you.

"Ma…the meatloaf!!!" That just about sums up this holiday. How can you be lazy? There's plenty that needs to be done – laundry, help with homework, dishes, making lunches for tomorrow. The list goes on! Moms are supposed to be invincible. Pretty sure the DCP moms sleep even less than the DCP workers! (Is it possible to get negative sleep?) "I never know what she's dooooing!"
Other Holidays:
- National Beheading Day – won't be taking part in THAT celebration!

7.2.6 Atmospheric Circulation Regimes
There is growing evidence that patterns of atmospheric intra-seasonal and interannual variability have preferred states (i.e., local maxima in the probability density function of atmospheric variables in phase space) corresponding to circulation regimes. Using atmospheric data, Corti et al. (1999) showed four distinct circulation patterns in the wintertime Northern Hemisphere. These geographical patterns correspond to conventional patterns of low-frequency atmospheric variability which include the so-called "Cold Ocean Warm Land" (COWL; Section 7.6) pattern, the negative Pacific North American pattern, and the so-called negative Arctic Oscillation pattern.
Simplified dynamical models, which represent fundamental aspects of atmospheric circulation, react to external forcing initially by changes in the recurrence frequency of the patterns rather than by changes in the patterns themselves (Palmer, 1999). Therefore, anthropogenically forced climate changes may also be expressed in an altered pattern frequency. It appears that the observed northern hemispheric changes can be associated, to some extent, with a more frequent occurrence of the COWL pattern (Corti et al., 1999), i.e., the horizontal structure of recent climate change is correlated with the horizontal pattern of natural variability.
These results indicate that detailed predictions of anthropogenic climate change require models which can simulate accurately natural circulation patterns and their associated variability, even though the dominant time-scale of such variability may be much shorter than the climate change signal itself. This regime view of climate change has recently been shown in GCM simulations (Monahan et al., 2000).

Ready to Start Online College? Let Us Assist You in Finding the Right Fit!
It can be difficult for many to find time to invest in a college education.
Luckily, online education can make it easier for those with time-pressing responsibilities to work their way towards a degree without having to restructure their entire lives. Even stay-at-home parents and full-time workers can find time to attend classes, finish schoolwork, and complete readings.
Online classes allow for students to attend their lectures whenever it is most convenient for them, and they can do so from the comfort of their own homes as well. Offering students a chance to break free from the burden of committing to a strict class schedule and lengthy commutes to a college campus, online schools are often the most logical choice for busy individuals who want to earn a degree.

The White House is under siege on the big screen.
Two movies in the coming weeks � �Olympus Has Fallen� (opens Friday) and �G.I. Joe: Retaliation� (March 28) � and a third this summer (�White House Down,� June 28) depict 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue being overthrown.
The political power of the President of the United States and the intrigue inspired by the fortress he calls home are what makes the White House fodder for film.
So, to get you ready for the upcoming West Wing showdowns, we�re taking a look at how movie bad guys are taking over the White House without running for office, the hunky guys tasked with saving onscreen presidents and memorable White House movie moments.

FORT BRAGG � The court-martial of a U.S. Army general facing sexual assault charges has been postponed for a second time.
The trial of Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair had been scheduled to begin at Fort Bragg next Monday. It was announced Tuesday that military Judge Col. James Pohl rescheduled the trial for Jan. 7 after a request from Sinclair's defense team.
Sinclair's chief civilian lawyer, Rich Scheff, said the delay was over several issues that are still unresolved, including an appeal of Pohl's denial of pretrial motions seeking to have the bulk of the case thrown out. The defense claims that President Barack Obama's public promises to pursue and punish sexual predators in the military put unlawful pressure on the Pentagon to bring criminal charges against Sinclair, despite what they contend is the weakness of the prosecution's case.
"There are a number of procedural issues that we are grappling with that resulted in the delay of the trial," Scheff said. "The government agreed with our assessment. Separately, we have sought appellate review of the denial of our UCI motions and that is working its way through the system, as well."
The court-martial had previously been set to get under way in July.
Sinclair, 50, has pleaded not guilty to eight criminal charges including forcible sodomy, indecent acts, violating orders and adultery. Most of the charges come from a three-year affair with a female captain who says Sinclair twice forced her to perform oral sex while she served under his command in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A 28-year Army veteran and married father of two, Sinclair was deputy commander in charge of logistics and support for the 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan before being relieved of command last year and sent back to Fort Bragg. He faces life in prison if convicted on the most serious offenses.
The captain testified at the evidentiary hearing last year that Sinclair threatened to kill her and her family if she told anyone about their frequent sexual liaisons in hotels, headquarters and war zones. Though she testified she usually wanted to have sex with the general, she said that on two occasions after they had argued he exposed himself and physically forced her to perform oral sex, even as she sobbed.
The Associated Press does not publicly identify alleged victims of sexual assaults.
With the absence of physical evidence or any other witnesses, whether Sinclair is convicted on the sexual assault charges is likely to come down to whether the jury believes the account of his primary accuser. Adultery is a crime under the military code of justice, and by reporting her sexual relationship with a married commander the captain has endangered her military career.
The defense portrays the captain as a jilted lover lying to exact revenge on Sinclair for not leaving his wife and over his flirtations with other women. Two other female officers who served with Sinclair also testified that they had given the general nude photos at his request.
While he awaits trial, Sinclair has been assigned to desk duty at Fort Bragg. He and his family live in a spacious government-issued home on a leafy residential street near the heart of the sprawling North Carolina base.
Sinclair's wife of nearly three decades is standing by her husband. Though she has not attended his court hearing, she has been speaking out about the strain placed on marriages and military spouses by more than a decade of repeated wartime deployments.
In an interview with The Associated Press last summer, Rebecca Sinclair said she does not condone her husband's infidelity. But the man she's known since they were college undergrads couldn't possibly be the monster portrayed by military prosecutors, she said.
"My husband's made mistakes, he knows that, he's admitted those mistakes to me," Rebecca Sinclair said. "We're not the only people in the military that this has happened to. When you have the strain and the separations year after year after year, the marriage that you started out with isn't the same marriage that you have in the end after all of this. .... The wars that have been going on for this time does have an effect on military families."
She said the one positive of the situation is that her husband has been at home, reconnecting with their sons. She is still working to forgive him, she said.
"We've been on kind of a roller coaster," she said. "Some days are good some days are not so good � but we both have made a conscious decision that our marriage is what we want and it's the best thing for our family."
Sinclair said she couldn't speculate what the other woman is feeling or going through.
"I don't know that. All I can speak for is me and my family," she said. "If I could talk to her... I would hope that we could just get through this, and move on."

The accolades just keep coming for Sioux Falls Skyforce forward Demetris Nichols. Nichols has been named NBA Development League Player of the Month for games played in February. The honor is the first of Nichols' career.
The forward from Syracuse led Sioux Falls to a 7-3 record in February, averaging 22.7 points on 53 percent shooting from the floor, to go with 6.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists per game. He scored in double figures in eight of the team's 10 games, with the best performance being a 42 point performance with 7 rebounds and 8 assists in a 117-112 win over the Iowa Energy on Feb. 19. The point total is the highest so far by a player in the D-League this season. He recorded one double-double during the month, scoring 26 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in a 115-107 road loss to the Erie BayHawks on Feb. 8.
Also during the month of February, the 6-8 215 pound forward scored 15 points in 21 minutes for the NBA D-League Prospects Team on Feb. 16 in Houston at 2013 NBA All-Star weekend.
Nichols has appeared in 35 games for Sioux Falls this season, averaging 18.5 points, good for 10th best in the NBA D-League, along with 5.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 35.0 minutes.
It is the first Skyforce Player of the Month since forward Reggie Williams won the award in February 2010.

Q: How often should I pray? I try to pray every day, and I know I ought to, but sometimes I don�t get around to it because I�m preoccupied with other things. Maybe that�s wrong, but it�s the way I am. � P.L.B.
A: One of the Bible�s greatest truths is that God not only exists, but He actually wants to have a personal relationship with us. And prayer is one of the ways He�s given us to strengthen that relationship.
In other words, don�t look on prayer as a burden or obligation; instead, look on it as a privilege. Just imagine: The God who created the whole universe wants to welcome you into His presence � and that is exactly what happens when we pray! If Jesus felt the need to pray, how much more should we.
Remember: Prayer is possible because God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to tear down the barrier that exists between us and God � a barrier caused by our sin. Because of Christ�s death and resurrection for us, the Bible says, �we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand� (Romans 5:2).
Make sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ. Then thank Him that He loves you so much that He wants you to talk with Him through your prayers. Set aside time to pray every day � but in addition, learn to pray throughout the day, thanking God for the good things He brings into your life. Pray also when you (and others you know) are facing problems or decisions, for you need His help. The Bible says, �In everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving , present your requests to God� (Philippians 4:6).

Media Statements & Speeches
|Statement: November 18, 2010
|View Printable PDF Version
|Docket No. RM09-18-000
Commissioner Norris's statement on revision to Electric Reliability Organization definition of Bulk Electric
"In this Final Rule, we are directing that NERC, through the Reliability Standards Development Process, revise its current definition of "bulk electric system" to ensure that this term captures all of the facilities necessary to reliably operate the interconnected electric transmission network. This directive is based on significant concerns that are raised by NERC's current definition. The current definition of "bulk electric system" (used by NERC to determine what facilities are subject to mandatory reliability standards) allows the regions broad discretion in determining the facilities that fall within the scope of the definition. As the Final Rule describes in detail, this discretion can result in inconsistent treatment of facilities within and across regions, create gaps in the coverage of facilities, and generally undermine the effectiveness of the reliability standards
I want to highlight two aspects of this Final Rule that are important to me: the exemption process embodied in our proposed approach, and the discretion we afford NERC to develop an equally effective alternative.
The Final Rule identifies a proposed approach that we believe will be the most effective to address the problems we identify in the current definition. Under this proposed approach, the regional discretion in NERC's current definition would be eliminated, but the bright-line threshold putting all facilities operated at or above 100 kV within the definition would be retained. This bright line approach would be coupled with an exemption process to exclude those facilities operated at or above 100 kV that are not necessary for reliable operation of the integrated transmission network.
The exemption process in our proposed approach is important to me. I agree that it would be appropriate to establish a threshold baseline to determine facilities that should be in or out of the "bulk electric system". The exemption process is an essential feature of this approach, however, because it ensures that the threshold baseline does not capture facilities that are not necessary for reliable operation of the interconnected electric energy transmission network, and therefore should not be subject to mandatory reliability standards under section 215 of the Federal Power Act.
Should NERC pursue our proposed approach, as opposed to proposing an alternative definition that meets the requirements of the Final Rule, it will file a proposed exemption process for our review. In my view, an exemption process should be objective, transparent, and not overly burdensome for affected entities. Our Final Rule also importantly allows for a transition period from the date we approve an exemption process, to ensure that entities are not forced to incur compliance costs for facilities that may ultimately be exempted.
I also want to emphasize that while the Final Rule describes a proposed approach to address the Commission's concerns, we also give NERC discretion to use its technical expertise to develop an alternative proposal. An alternative proposal would need to be shown to be equally as effective, or more effective than, our proposed approach. The Commission is earnest when it says we will give NERC discretion to develop an alternative approach, provided that approach addresses our concerns with the current definition. I will have an open mind as to any proposal NERC and its stakeholders can develop that addresses our concerns.
I look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with NERC and the industry on this and other important reliability matters, as we pursue the common goal of a more reliable system."

The SEC took action Monday against 10 former brokers who worked for McGinn Smith, an Albany, N.Y.-based firm charged criminally for a $125 million investment scheme for which its two co-owners received jail sentences.
The SEC halted the scheme at McGinn Smith in 2010 and froze its assets as well as those of owners Timothy M. McGinn and David L. Smith, who were found guilty of criminal charges. The scheme affected some 750 investors who lost $80 million.
The regulatory group's enforcement division says the 10 brokers recommended the unregistered investment products, made "material misrepresentations and omissions to their customers" and "ignored red flags that should have led them to conduct more due diligence into the securities they were recommending."
"As securities professionals, these brokers had an important duty to determine whether the securities they recommended to customers were suitable, especially when red flags were apparent. These registered representatives performed inadequate due diligence and failed to fulfill their duties," said Andrew M. Calamari, director of the SEC's New York Regional Office, in a press release.
The SEC said the brokers involved were:
- Donald J. Anthonyt Jr. of Loudonville, N.Y.
- Frank H. Chiappone of Clifton Park, NY.
- Richard D. Feldmann of Delmar, N.Y.
- William P. Gamello of Rexford, N.Y.
- Andrew G. Guzzetti of Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
- William F. Lex of Phoenixville, Pa.
- Thomas E. Livingston of Slingerlands, N.Y.
- Brian T. Mayer of Princeton, N.J.
- Philip S. Rabinovich of Roslyn, N.Y.
- Ryan C. Rogers of East Northport, N.Y.
Guzzetti was the managing director of McGinn Smith's private client group from 2004 to 2009. The SEC says he failed to take any steps "to investigate the offerings and instead encouraged the brokers to sell the notes."
In addition, the brokers kept selling McGinn Smith notes "even after being told that customers placed in some of the firm's offerings could only be redeemed if a replacement customer was found," which was contrary to the offering documents.
The SEC also says that the brokers learned in early 2008 that four earlier offerings, which had raised almost $90 million, had defaulted. However, they "failed to conduct any inquiry into subsequent offerings and continued to recommend McGinn Smith notes."
The civil case continues against the firm, as well as against McGinn and Smith, who were sentenced to 15 and 10 years imprisonment respectively in the criminal case.

Perkins, O'Brien spar over Scouts
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins defended his support of a ban on gays in Boy Scouts while referencing pedophilia and saying getting rid of the ban "doesn't pass the parent test."
( PHOTOS: 20 gay rights milestones)
On Monday, the FRC and other organizations ran an ad in USA Today urging Boy Scouts to uphold its long-standing policy of barring gays from joining, a decision which the organization announced Wednesday it intends to vote upon in May.
"First off, I mean look, this doesn't pass the parent test," Perkins said on CNN. "You're going to let leaders come in who are attracted to males."
"I'm a parent," CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien responded. "OK, what's the parent test?"
(Also on POLITICO: Boy Scouts delay decision on admitting gays)
"OK, I'm a parent," Perkins said. "I have five children, I have three daughters. My heterosexual neighbor: man, like him, good guy, got kids of his own — I'm not going to let him go camping with my girls. Why would I let a man who was attracted to other males go camping with my boys?" Perkins said.
"But a pedophile, you know, a pedophile has sex with children," O'Brien said. "[…] Are you saying that someone who is gay is a pedophile, sir?"
"No, I never said that," Perkins said. "I'm saying that they're trying to create an environment that is protective of the children. This doesn't make it more protective. There is a disproportionate number of male on boy — when we get into pedophilia, it's male on boy — there is a higher incident rate of that. But we've never said all homosexuals are pedophiles. That's not what we said."
The issue has become a contentious one among politicos like Perkins and politicians. On Sunday, President Barack Obama told CBS News that he did not support the ban. But Perkins said on CNN that he took issue not just with gay Scout leaders.
"It would be about Scouts who are attracted to members of the same sex," Perkins said on CNN. "Is that right, for Boy Scouts who are out wanting to learn the basic tenets of scouting to have to worry about whether or not the boy in the tent with them is attracted to them? Is that right?"
He continued: "I mean look, these folks that want to do — they are free to set up their own organization. Why do they want to come in and change an organization that's been around for 100 years?"
"Because it's discriminatory," O'Brien said.

60 kWh Model S EPA range released
60 kWh Model S EPA range released
Does that mean that they could potentially start delivering 60Kw cars this year?
Nice...EPA-rated 208 miles, 95 MPGe...Impressive.
And TimJ: Not a chance.
Those are very impressive numbers. @TheAustin I agree, just wishful thinking on my part. I am getting the 60kw and found out that my friend that reserved after me with an 85kw got the email saying he could get his car this month. Kinda upsetting, but understandable.
I hope this means that they can begin production early in January. For revenue purposes, I do not expect production to begin in 2012.
Wow, that range would have met my requirements. A pleasant surprise.
However, based on where I live, I closed my eyes and clicked for 85kWh anyway, just based on my guesstimate that after a few years I'd only get 75% or so of the rated range as the battery ages.
So, while I have no regrets, I'll bet a lot of folks who opted for 60kWh will be pleased with these figures.
PS: Today is Day #1 of my 15-day delivery window.
EPA 208...nice number. I also considered the 85kW but since technology generally improves with time figured I may be able to upgrade after a few years to a better, cheaper battery anyway. We'll see but I have the supercharger option to allow flexibility.
Fantastic news, definitely stick with my 60 kWh choice.
mklcolvin, real world driving will get you lower range for sure. I don't get the advertised 30 mpg with my ICE in real -world, I barely make 20.
We've heard in other threads that average real-world was closer 342 Wh/mile while TM calculation were made with 283 Wh/mile. However what the EPA numbers reassures us on what the car is capable of doing in optimal conditions.
Real world in my experience with my 85KWh Sig performance depends on driving style. I can get better than the EPA rated 265 or worse than it - all depending on how I drive and the driving conditions. I think the 265 mile range is a good indicator for the 85KWh version.
I live in West Los Angeles.
Should I pickup my 60 Kwh at Fremont Factory next year??
Based on 208 rating.. I could supercharge at Harris Ranch and Tejon Ranch... then off to West Los Angeles.
Is the factory experience worth having to supercharge twice on the way to Los Angeles??
Woops also... if pickup is at factory do they deliver with a full charge?
My best so far in my P85, is 240 miles on a night drive, avarage speed of 70 MPH, windows up, no traffic, using the a/c half of the trip. In Los Angeles w/no traffic, most drivers are driving at an avarage speed of 80+ MPH, so going any slower forces me into the far right lane, or risk getting a ticket for going slower than the current flow of traffic (which can be dangerous as well).
So, make sure you factor in your typical driving habbits, before deciding what battery you choose.
Typical is LA driving only.
Once in a while... 1 time a year
LA to Santa Barbara
LA to San Diego
LA to Palm Springs
So I was just trying to figure out if Fremont to LA is even possible... there are 3 supercharging stations in between.
Picked up Sig 916 at the factory. They had it charged in range mode. Stopped at the Filroy SC just to check it out, less than 50 miles from Tesla. Was being serviced. Stopped at Harris Ranch for an enjoyable 45 minute lunch and charged up 180 miles. Stopped in Tejon Ranch to top off before going over the grape vine. Stayed for 20 minutes and charged it up to 170 miles, enough to make it home.
Oops meant Gilroy, not Filroy.
I think you really meant Fill-roy.
Sounds Like I could do it with 60khw but should stop at
Gilroy (Filroy or Elroy), Harris and Tejon then, if I decide on Factory delivery.
That's excellent, 11% more bang for the KWH than the 85. Now do I want supercharger access or no? Blah...
Man, it's 199 miles from my house in Echo Park LA to Harris Ranch.
That, my friends, is pushing it...
Ooh, didn't see that Tejon Ranch one, excellent.
Yup Tejon makes is all possible for folks with 60kwh, but is it a pain stopping every 150-160 miles?
I will probably only do the trip for factory delivery. Fremont-LosAngeles
I am happy with 208. Thought it was going to be closer to 200. Anyone know if it is known for sure at this point if they are just using fewer of the same high capacity cells as the 85KWh pack (with something to fill in the empty space to keep from altering the crash results)? Or did Tesla go with a full tray/similiar cell count as the 85KWh, but are just using a lower capacity cell type? If still not public information, can we glean anything from the better than expected MPGe and the weights of the different Panasonic cell types? I am hoping that there isn't a 'dead weight' filling up space and I believe that it is suppsed to be better to have more cells even though they would be lower capacity to help distribute the heat/load better across more cells to lengthen battery life.
Looks to me that the battery and vehicle is lighter.
Why? because the EPA has introduced more of acceleration and stopping into the rating since the 230 mile rating which was based on constant speed tests (I believe).
If the vehicle has less mass but the same drag coeff and frontal area then all else being equal the reduction in mass would cause the relative EPA rating to go up as a proportion of the max constant speed range.
However this could mean that it would be better around in stop and go traffic than on the highway where it would be close to P85.
I may be barking up the wrong tree on this.
Has the weight of the 60kwh been published yet?
That is awesome! I knew the 60 kWh battery was the best value. I can't wait to receive my chocolate brown fully loaded beauty!
virtualarry. The factory is definitely worth seeing.
Here's the plan, see: use the (S/C h/w installed) 60kWh model for 8 yrs., then replace with the biggest hottest battery (120kWh?) going at that time. The world is your oyster, and you'll forever feel clam, clue, and corrected!
How much capacity do you think will be available in 8 years for the s platform?
@virtualarry yes you should opt for factory pickup and tour!
Pessimistic: 70%;
Optimistic: 88%.
I'm bummed to see all the 85kWh folks passing me in line because I'm concerned about what could happen to the $7,500 Federal tax credit in 2013. My reservation would have placed me in line for 2012 delivery were it not for the 60kWh battery.
Nonetheless, the EPA news on the 60kWh is really good and confirms that this is the best battery for me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the tax situation.
What's the impact of low temps on battery performance? The range utility on this site stops at 32 degrees. That's a balmy January day here in New England.
Since no 60s exist to deliver yet, I look on it as an efficiency push which could actually somewhat advance your date. There's way to little "visibility" of all the factors TM is juggling to say which way it would go.
@roccosima - Brian H would say NNIC. I bet the range degrades rapidly and TM doesn't want to advertise it. Just my guess however.
Tesla Model S curb weight spec is 4637.3lbs which I assume is the 85KWh. Does anyone know the curb for the 60KWh?
At some point someone asserted the models were matched using deadweights. Don't know if that's true, but might be easiest for handling and stability s/w, etc.
I am not sure if this is good new for Tesla. If you look at EPA ratings alone, its hard to justify the 85 battery. I would assume they have a larger margin on the 85. I cnat wait to see the 40, might come in over 160 if the weight drops enough.
I think they will start delivering the 60kw Model S in early 2013. Their latest email says the 60kw w/air suspension will enter production in Jan. It also says they are working up to 400/week I think. We will see. Have they even delivered 1000 cars yet?
Probably. My guesstimate is 1100-1200 based on VINs getting into customer hands. Using two shifts, at less than full bore, a tech said they were at 90/day a little while ago.
There are several threads discussing real-life numbers vs EPA.
On my 85kWh performance the real range is closer to 200 miles.
On the 60kWh version with the same average Wh/mi ratio (about 377Wh/mi for me) you'll get around 140 miles on a standard charge.
60 miles doesn't sound like much, but something to keep in mind, especially as the battery capacity degrades over time.
I think Tesla could make some "driving profile" based range estimator in the "go electric" -page. sergiyz gets 200 miles and someone just drove 400+ miles which shows that there is huge variation in RL ranges depending of where you drive and how.
