Justin Holt began his career as a lighting technical director working at Rhythm & Hues Studios on the Academy Award Winning Animated Feature Happy Feet. However, his passion for textures landed him a gig as a texture painter on his second feature film, The Kingdom. From there Justin's career quickly sky-rocketed from being a part of a small team who painted textures for The Hulk and his rival The Abomination in the second adaptation of The Incredible Hulk, to painting the Owlship in Zack Snyder's Watchmen. After leading texture work at Industrial Light & Magic working on Gore Verbinski's feature animation Rango starring Johnny Depp, Justin has moved up to Vancouver to build a new texture pipeline and oversee the texture work coming out of Image Engine. Currently he is leading work on Neill Blomkamp's highly anticipated Elysium as well as R.I.P.D.
" Justin is the only texture artist whom I would trust with my models. His passion and unparalleled skills are showcased in each aspect of his craft. I've always been curious about his methods, and this tutorial will reveal his engaging teaching style and easy-to-follow work process. Definitely an invaluable learning tool from one of the film industry's very best artists."

Everyone's favourite daytime TV show This Morning featured a selection of RFID Protect products during a slot about credit card fraud and the fast-growing issue of 'e-pickpocketing'. During a five-minute feature, presenter Phillip Schofield showcased RFID Protect's latest Leather Multi-card Holder, which has been designed in collaboration with crime-reduction officers at Victoria Police, Australia and is new to the UK.
Mr Schofield was visibly shocked at the ease by which information can be 'skimmed' from a contactless credit or debit card; during a demonstration given by Thomas Cannon (Director of Research and Development) at American company ViaForensics.
First shown on Thursday 10th May, 2012 the programme can be viewed again for a limited period, at http://www.itv.com/thismorning/ and a direct link to their Crime File discussion area for this particular issue can be found at: http://www.itv.com/thismorning/life/crime-file-120510/
A spokesman for RFID Protect said,
"…we're absolutely thrilled that ITV came to us for guidance on the whole issue of 'e-pickpocketing', and what members of the public can do to better protect their contactless bank cards. Working with the team on This Morning has been a great pleasure; it's great to receive so much positive feedback about our work and products."
"…ITV has very kindly agreed to provide viewers with a direct link to our products from their main website. This will go live shortly, but in the meantime our full range of RFID shielding kit can be purchased on-line at: http://www.rfidprotect.co.uk/products.html"

Protesters set a junked car on fire in Qadam village, north of the Bahraini capital Manama, on Feb. 14, 2013, the second anniversary of the start of a pro-democracy uprising in the Gulf island kingdom.

Wounded anti-government protesters are treated at a house after being shot with pellets fired by riot police during clashes in Daih on Feb. 14, 2013. Protests began at daybreak in opposition areas nationwide as protesters attempted to return to the well-barricaded main site of the uprising.

A protester gestures toward riot police during clashes in Daih on Feb. 14, 2013.
Reuters reports — A Bahraini teenager was killed by security forces on Thursday, an opposition website reported, as activists demonstrated on the second anniversary of an uprising demanding democratic reforms in the U.S.-allied Gulf Arab state.
The protests could mar reconciliation talks that began on Sunday between mostly Shiite Muslim opposition groups and the Sunni-dominated government to try to end two years of political deadlock in the island kingdom, which is home to the U.S. Fifth Fleet.
Mass protests that erupted in the island state in February 2011 at the height of the Arab Spring were crushed, but small demonstrations continue on an almost daily basis demanding greater rights for Bahrain's Shiite majority and an end to the absolute power of the Sunni ruling family.

Protesters march in Barbar village, north of Manama, on Feb. 14, 2013.
The website of the main opposition group Wefaq said a young man identified as Ali Ahmed Ibrahim al-Jazeeri had died in the village of Diya near Manama in an area mostly inhabited by Shiites. It said Jazeeri, born in 1996, had been shot by security forces using exploding bullets, banned internationally.
Dozens of people were also hurt in the violence, some by tear gas and other more seriously, it said.
The government's information department said a 16-year-old boy had been brought to the Salmaniya Medical Complex in the capital Manama and had been pronounced dead on arrival.
"The cause of death is as yet unknown. The case has been referred to the public prosecution and a thorough investigation is being conducted," it said in a statement, urging people to remain calm and "not to spread unfounded rumors". Read the full story.

LAWT Staff Writer
Every mother is special. They're the reason the world goes round as they have birthed great men and mighty women for centuries. There are hundreds of thousands of mothers across this planet that should be highlighted for Mother's Day. Today, we salute Gwen Green.
A native of Oakland California, Green grew up in a household of game changers. Born the only child to Rose and Edward Smith, Green also had the benefit of growing up with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lee Williams.
"My grandfather and grandmother were quite active, my family has always been active in politics and welfare," said Green. "At that time, 80 years ago, they didn't have any Black social workers, policemen."
At the age of five, Green remembers her grandfather getting involved addressing racism in the Oakland District Attorney's office. The District Attorney at the time didn't want a black secretary working for him.
"My grandfather got together with some people and they started a petition campaign," said Green. "My grandfather took me out, took my hand and we went in the neighborhood and around everywhere and forced this man to hire this Black lady as his secretary."
Her grandfather was Pullman porter who would eventually start up a training program, as there weren't any at the time. He went on to become involved in issues surrounding his profession and organizing within the system. Green's grandfather and mother were also active in the NAACP, seeds that would undoubtedly grow within Green's lifetime.
"My mother helped integrate the swimming pools in Richmond, California," said Green. "They were very, very active." Green attributes these early experiences to who she would become and what she would do with her life.
After she married Arthur Green at the age of 18, her journey began changing the world around her, one step at a time. Her husband Arthur, who was studying law, was the second Black to attend the University of Colorado.
Green would encounter racism with the same zeal and fortitude as her parent and grandparents. Barbershops in Boulder, Colorado at the time refuse to cut her husband's hair.
"Right away, I knew that we were going to have to do something," Green. "I started to get names of people that wanted to join the NAACP and we started [one] there [in Boulder, Colorado]."
Green would devote 65 years of her life to being a civil rights activist. In the 1950's, she has worked at various NAACP offices including San Francisco, Oakland and San Diego before moving to Los Angeles.
"All through the years, I've been involved," said Green. "Wherever I lived—I was always involved in the NAACP."
In San Diego, Green became active in getting the women involved in positive activities in the community.
"The Black men were active in organizations but the women stayed home and weren't involved in anything," said Green. "When I got there, I became involved in the Children's Home Society, that was for the adoption of minority children. So we formed an auxiliary in San Diego. "
Green continued, "I encouraged some of the ladies and they became involved."
Eventually moving to Los Angeles in the late 1950's, her husband, working for Golden State Insurance, Green would show no signs of slowing down.
She would work with numerous campaigns and grass roots efforts including working with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She worked with King's field director, Hosea Williams, as assistant director for the Summer Voting Drive in 1965. She travelled through six southern states and through 120 counties providing voter registration, helping people to a voice in this country.
Green would work with educators, dignitaries, actors and ordinary folks. She has worked with political giants such as Tom Bradley, Los Angeles' first Black Mayor, Julian Dixon, Yvonne Burke, Alan Cranston, John Tunney, Herb Wesson, Mark Ridley-Thomas, Edmund G. "Pat" Brown and former LAUSD James Jones just to name a few.
She's also recognized for having served as a consultant of the United Long Term Care Workers Union for 20 years. Green was a warrior for the union and in the late 1980's, made it her mission to insure fairness for workers. She was instrumental in the campaign to get then Santa Barbara Ave. changed to MLK Blvd. Green is one of the founder of the New Frontier Democratic Club, one of the largest African American political clubs on the West Coast.
Green would become a mother of two daughters: her eldest daughter, Claudia who passed away two years ago and Robin. She has a host of grandchildren herself who she, undoubtedly, has passed her legacy of change to.
Green spoke about the importance of family and being a mother, pointing out where families today may be going wrong.
"The one thing I remember as a child, we sat around the kitchen table," said Green. "We ate all our meals together, which they don't do anymore."
She also commented on her job as mother being twofold as her husband was also a part of the equation.
"I had a husband that was willing to work together and we were involved," said Green.
Green has left an indelible mark on the world and her family no doubt. She must have if everybody calls her "mama." You don't get that title unless you've been one towards many and clearly she has been.
Happy Mother's Gwen Green.

- Standard box KVM switches. (e.g. SV231USB)
- Cable KVM switches. (e.g. SV211USB)
- Multi-Monitor KVM switches. (e.g. SV231DDUSB)
- IP KVM switches. (e.g. SV841HDIE)
Standard box and cable KVM switches are a simple way to switch the use of a keyboard, display, and mouse between multiple computers. Multi-monitor KVM switches allow you to switch multiple displays between computers, and IP KVM switches allow you to remotely control the KVM switch and connected computers over a network.
Here are some important things to consider before purchasing a KVM switch.
- How many computers do you need to control? Purchase a KVM switch that supports the number of computers in your setup.
- Which video connections do your computers and display(s) support? It is best practice to use the same video connections wherever possible.
- Will you be using a PS/2 or USB mouse and keyboard?
- Do you need multiple monitor support? Ensure every computer can support the number of monitors you are looking to use in your setup.
- Do you need audio support?
- What resolution(s) do you want your display(s) running at? The KVM switch must support the resolution(s) you want to use.
- Would you like hotkey support? Some KVM switches support the use of hotkey combinations to complete tasks such as switching between computers.
There are a couple of other important things you may want to take note of:
- Some KVM switches require proprietary cables to function. These KVM cables may vary by each KVM switch. For StarTech.com KVM switches that require proprietary cables, the KVM switches will either come with these cables, or they will be listed in the Accessories tab on the individual product pages. For more information, see our video dedicated to KVM switch cables.
- Basic mice and keyboards are recommended for use with KVM switches. Wireless, gaming or combo mice and keyboards (mice and keyboards that use a single USB connection / receiver for both units) can cause performance issues, and in general, are not supported for use with KVM switches.
It can be difficult to tell which ones are right for the KVM switch you are interested in. How can you tell which KVM cables you require? How can you tell if a KVM switch requires proprietary cables? How do these cables work?
Standard KVM Switches and Cables
Note: You will need one bundle of KVM cables per computer you want to connect to the KVM switch.
Standard KVM switches have no special cable requirements. If you have spare video and PS/2 or USB cables, you can use them to hook up the KVM switch to your computers. StarTech.com still sells KVM cable packages, but they are just for the convenience of buying them in bundles and usually involve some savings. Keep in mind that even if you have some of the cables you need, it still might be advantageous to buy the bundle.
KVM Switches with Opposite Gender Video Connections
Some KVM switches use male video connections for the computers and female video connections for the console ports. In this case you simply need a video extension cable, or a KVM cable package appropriate to the KVM switch. This is so you cannot accidentally plug cables from your computer into the console ports.
KVM Switches Requiring Proprietary Cables
KVM switches can also use proprietary KVM cables to connect to the individual computers. This is often done with larger KVM switches and KVM switches intended for a server environment. These cables use a proprietary pinout which does not conform to the video standard in use, as the cable carries both the video and PS/2 or USB data along a single cable.
If you are unsure whether or not you need special cables, complete the following:
- Check the Technical Specifications tab on the individual product pages for What's in the Box. This section lists everything that comes with your purchase, and your KVM switch might come with the cables.
- Check the Accessories tab. This section lists potential accessories for the product you are looking at. StarTech.com will list the appropriate KVM cables for the KVM switch here.
- Check the Gallery and look at a picture of the back of the KVM switch.
Note: If there are no PS/2 or USB ports on the back of the KVM switch other than for the console, you will require proprietary cables.
If at this point you require further assistance in deciding which cables to purchase with your StarTech.com KVM switch, contact our technical support team.
Whether a specific mouse or keyboard will work with StarTech.com KVM switches can depend on the type of mouse or keyboard you use. Any mice with additional functionality or keyboards that are not standard 104 key keyboards could cause issues. This includes wireless, gaming, combination (one USB receiver for both the mouse and keyboard), and Apple keyboards. We recommend that you use a standard wired mouse and keyboard with our KVM switches, especially when you troubleshoot issues.
If you cannot get a specific mouse or keyboard to work with your KVM switch, connect the mouse or keyboard into the USB hub ports, if available (they are marked on the back of the KVM switch). If the KVM switch has hotkey functionality, you will lose the functionality when using these hub ports.
- Turn off all of the computers and monitors that will be connected to the KVM switch.
- Connect the power adapter to the KVM switch.
- Connect the video cables from your monitors to the console video port on the KVM switch.
- Turn on the monitors.
- Connect your keyboard and mouse to the console PS/2 or USB ports on the KVM switch.
- If you have not done so already, change the KVM switch to focus on port 1.
- Connect the video cables from PC1 to the KVM switch.
- Connect the PS/2 or USB cables from PC1 to the PC1 PS/2 or USB ports on the KVM switch.
- Turn on PC1. You should see the computer load the operating system that you are using on PC1.
- Make sure that the mouse and keyboard can control PC1.
- Repeat steps 4 to 8 for each additional computer that you want to connect to the KVM switch. Leave the computer in focus until you make sure that the mouse and keyboard can control the computer in step 8.
How to
The Link Port that comes with this KVM switch was intended to be used with our SV831MEDIA product. This product was discontinued, so the Link Port no longer serves a purpose.
Monitors may begin flickering when they receive a signal of insufficient quality. There are a few potential fixes available that will help to improve the signal quality in order to eliminate flickering:
- Replace Video Cables with high-quality Video Cables (e.g. upgrade DisplayPort 1.2 Cables to DisplayPort 1.4 Cables).
- Use shorter Video Cables to reduce signal attenuation.
- When possible, remove Video Adapters to use native Video Connection Types (e.g. go from VGA to VGA, or DisplayPort to DisplayPort)
- For DisplayPort Monitors, try changing the DisplayPort Version on the Monitor. For information on how to change your Monitor Settings refer to the Manual from the Monitor Manufacturer.
- Update the Drivers for the Computer's GPU to the latest available from the Monitor Manufacturer.
- Ensure the video & USB cables are connected between each computer and the KVM switch
- Safely power off all computers. Unplug everything from the KVM switch and connect one computer at a time, swapping the inputs previously used (e.g., the computer connected to PC2 now connects to PC1). Power on each computer and confirm functionality before connecting the next one to the KVM switch.
- If using a KVM switch that supports multiple displays, ensure all video connections from the computer are from either the video card or motherboard, both cannot be used simultaneously on most systems.
There are some quick tests that you can perform to rule out potential issues. Start by turning off all of the connected computers and peripherals, unplugging everything from the KVM, including power, and leaving it for 10 seconds. Then connect everything to the KVM following the procedure in the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/kvm-switches-setup.
You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video cables
KVM switch
Video source (such as a DVR or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
Note: When you are testing your setup components, it is recommended that you avoid using any video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI to be used with an HDMI extender, you should test with an HDMI source.
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the video cable, KVM switch, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different video cable, KVM switch, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the KVM switch from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the KVM switch.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, KVM switch, and video destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
There are four troubleshooting actions that you can try if some but not all of the ports and your computer are working with the KVM switch.
- To determine if a specific cable is the source of the problem, switch the cables that connect the KVM switch to the computers to one working port and computer, and one port and computer that is not working. Keep the computer plugged into the same ports and only switch the cables. If the issue persists when you switch cables, the issue may be with the cable itself.
- To determine if the problem is between the computer and the KVM switch, using the same cables, connect the KVM switch to one computer that is working and one computer that is not working. If the issue persists when you switch computers, follows the issue may be with the computer and the KVM switch.
- Try reinitializing the KVM. This is done by following the setup instructions on the website.
- To determine if the KVM switch is the source of the problem, if you have another KVM switch, disconnect the current KVM switch and connect the second KVM switch.
If the keys on your keyboard are repeating, complete the following:
- If the KVM you are using has USB ports, you can move your keyboard to the USB hub port on the back of the KVM (the USB hubs are marked).
Note: When you move the keyboard out of the keyboard port, you will not be able to access the hotkeys.
- You can adjust the typematic rate in your operating system's settings. Depending on the version of Windows you are running, you can adjust the typematic rate by doing one of the following:
- Click Control Panel > Keyboard > Speed. Adjust the repeat delay and repeat rate until the keys no longer repeat.
- Click Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers. Right-click Keyboard Settings. Adjust the repeat delay and repeat rate until the keys no longer repeat.

Money-Is-No-Object Jam Plate: Discuss
For clarification: I'm not talking about 'break-skating', to me that seems pretty straight forward - any -long- plate w/toe-plug and crank the action down as tight as physics will allow (although that could be an interesting discussion too). I'm talking about floor work and toe-jam work.
To be honest, I'm expecting a lot of Roll-Line responses, but it will be interesting to see...
I don't think ' likkwid ' is on the forum anymore, but I'd be especially curious to get his take on this topic.

Proline, reactors, pretty much any 15 deg or less plate. Action isnt needed much, as the "flair" that produces a good looking move is done by using your feets positioning/pivoting to make the skates carve.
Plastic or metal doesn't matter. And actually a lot of people will skate on plastic since its just a "softer" feel. Theres no worry about the types of distortion a weaker plastic plate presents during speed skating, since the forces arent the same.
Plastic plates can have the action cranked down and since theres some more flex in the plastic rather than 7000 series alu like say, a proline, they will start to distort a little before the action is used. Since the plates flex more readily, the kingpins are less likely to break. Seen some crazy stuff on plastic plates.
Firm suspension, a somewhat flexy plate and boot is very forgiving, and small errors in form during tricks are extremely easy to hide. Also, sometimes truck action gets stuck a little where it wont return to neutral every time (grease fixes that usually), so firm suspension tightened up with that flexing plate also reduces the likelyhood of cushions deforming, sliding, then getting stuck while being used (action), ya know, instead of returning to center. Any skateboarder has probably seen this afterlanding hard on one side of the board, getting wheel bite, and having to bail out. Then their board turns in circles as it trys to roll away.

I have never used Roll-Lines. I have jammed on Pacer Crown, Chicago speed, Chicago figure, POS Sketchers, Avenger white and Avanti white plates. The Avanti is the best, the Avenger and Chicago figure are the worst (too turny, loosey-goosey for me).
Avanti white is currently selling for ≈ $190, so it is more mid-priced than money-is-no object. It has a 10⁰ kingpin and I finished it off with hard cushions and tight action. Wheel bite is unlikely because the bottom of the plate to the center of the axle is 5 centimeters. It has a solid, stable feel to it and I like that everything stays in adjustment and remains tight. Going out of adjustment/coming loose is a pet peeve of mine. Also like that its made in U.S.A. Buy American!

Have only jammed on a few plates, which are Roll-Line Mistral and Snyder Advantage. I love them both, due to the not so steep kingpin angles. Both plates are in the middle of the road for pricing (both run for anywhere from $400-$500, depending on the vendor).
I have tried skating on 45 degree plates and didn't like them at all.
So, this thread is all about personal preference. What may be the gold standard for some, will be in the throw-away pile for others.

I would go with Paioli Cristal for jam. It is designed like a Roll Line with Atlas kingpins. It has click action adjustment for the cushions just like the Atlas. I find having the action set from the plate side to be very convenient because it easily allows me to completely disassemble and reassemble the truck and have the action restored without needing to make any adjustments.
- Just roll with it

Paioli Cristal vs Roll-Line ???? for jam?
Which Roll-Line plate model would you say is its closest cousin and what makes the Cristal the superior of the two?
Where did you source your Paioli Cristal plate?

Not adding much to the discussion since I haven't tried much, but I've skated SG Classics, Centuries, and recently acquired a Powerdyne Reactor plate.
Prefer the Reactor of the three. Noticeably lighter, MUCH easier to adjust the trucks, and feels extremely stable & responsive to my input. My Centuries seemed less predictable, and required regular truck adjustment .

Describe your Jam Skating..
First: High Lower Mass ChuckB. One of these days I will skate with you again.
I have seen skaters skate on all sorts of stuff and do various Jam Skating. Sometimes we might call some of them Break Dancing. We even used to have the jam Skating guy on SkateLog. Chuck is his name.
The most important to me and hopefully your skatelog skaters is to know what kind of moves you want to do Jam Skating.
If you have videos of some of the greats that you want to copy or improve on that would be good information.

Hardly back for a day, but happy to give input!
To answer that, we never really insisted on running overly long plates, or cranking down our truck settings, in fact, those are both a matter of preference, but still pretty much a resounding "no-go"....
But, I've owned more plates than I'd like to type up for the sake of time.
Realistically, an aluminum plate is always best, but most jamskaters can't really afford them.
I'll highlight a few collective notes that have came from the jamskating community throughout the years regarding the most popular choices:
*Roll-lines aren't a terrible choice, but the sharp turn-in can make things a bit sketchy. Also, the strange sizing (metric), unavailability of parts locally (for most), and high price are particularly off-putting to many.
(Fun fact: the plug angle actually causes dance plugs to SHEAR, when doing plug spins which is a PITA to remove, due to the fact that American made dance plugs are standard thread, and everything on the RL plates are metric thread)
*Pro-lines are the original jamskating plate. The toe plug distance/angle, kingpin angle, plus light weight, and overall strength made these the plate "du jour" during jamskating's inception. When parts started disappearing to keep them going, skaters started to make the switch to either power-tracs, or roll-lines. The re-release really does the originals justice, leaving nothing to be desired, and we're well worth the wait. (Nifty tidbit: the plug standoff sits further forward than a power-trac, so plug spins were not only more easily accomplished, but also protected the toes of your boots better than a power-trac, without having to buy a plate that mounted end-to-end)
*Power-tracs were the runners up to the throne that pro-lines once held for quite some time. Sharing SIMILAR dimensions and construction methods, as well as the same base plate material, they were pretty good for the price point. They offered more readily part availability than the previous 2, and they were a lower price point. There were downsides, however. Of course at the time, only plastic trucks were available. Also, the plugs sit very close to the front wheel in relation to the front wheels, which results in dragging and subsequently, wearing through the toe of the boot. The solution to this is to run a longer plate, but for many, this isnt an option, or they just dont care. Lol....
*reactors, please read the overall comments on the pro-line, it really does not differ much, other than aesthetics, and a negligible amount of weight. Still a quality plate.
*Snyder advantage - I've owned 3 sets of these, and I love them. There are a few downsides to them, however. The cushions retain their position when lifting off. Not a good thing to find out when you're trying to land almost anything on a different edge, but sure makes for good entertainment! Also, the plates are left and right foot oriented. This doesn't mean much of anything except the plug standoff taper inward toward the opposite foot. Combined with the same close orientation as the powertrac, accelerated toe wear happens often. High price point keeps about 95% of jamskaters away.
(Crazy DYK: around 2004, the first documented aluminum trucks for the powertrac were machined from Snyder advantage parts. They belonged to my brother, Kyle Cumper)
That's really as far as I can go for the moment, unless someone wants specific input on a particular plate... in which case, I do not object.
I've owned all of the above, and then numerous others. There were even a few that were prototypes, made who knows where. Lol....
But, I personally enjoy a power-Trac. It feels normal to me. Even when the trucks are let out all the way, I still feel like I can reign them in. Not to mention, there's always plenty that machining can always fix
The more spent on equipment, doesn't always translate to better, however. I've been bested several times over by some skaters that ran nothing more than probes.
What's most important is finding what hits all the marks, or at least comes the closest.
Hope this helps!

Cops: Couple arrested in jewelry store thefts
A Deer Park man, arrested after a traffic stop in Deer Park this week, faces charges in connection with a string of jewelry store thefts in Suffolk County, police said.
His live-in girlfriend, who also was in the vehicle, was arrested for her alleged role in one of the thefts, police said.
The two are also under investigation for their possible involvement in recent similar thefts in Nassau County, Suffolk police said.
Daniel Cimolonski, 32, and Kristie Laird, 45, both of 182 Adams St., Deer Park, were arrested Wednesday at the intersection of Bay Shore Road and Crown Street at 4:45 p.m. by First Precinct Officer James Knoblach.
Cimolonski was charged with four counts of third-degree grand larceny, fourth-degree grand larceny, criminal possession of a controlled substance and resisting arrest. He also was charged with fourth-degree grand larceny stemming from a theft earlier Wednesday at a Burger King on East Main Street in Bay Shore, police said.
Police said Cimolonski also lived in South Setauket.
Cimolonski is suspected in thefts from the following stores, police said: Tourneau Walt Whitman, Walt Whitman Road, Huntington Station; Golden Island Jewelry, Veterans Memorial Highway, Commack; Zales Jewelers, The Arches Circle, Deer Park; and Diamond Exchange Jeweler, Route 112, Medford. It was not immediately clear what was stolen.
Suffolk police said that Nassau police are investigating potential links to thefts there.
Laird was charged with third-degree grand larceny and criminal possession of a controlled substance. Police said she was an accomplice in one of the jewelry store thefts.
Laird was charged in 1992 with falsely reporting an incident after police said she claimed to have been abducted at gunpoint by a stranger as she walked to her car at Hofstra University.
According to a story that appeared on Aug. 5, 1992, in Newsday, Laird, who was described as a married mother of two living at 182 Adams St. in Deer Park, had surrendered the day before to Nassau County police and was issued an appearance ticket.
The Nassau County district attorney's office said Thursday that Laird pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in October 1992, and the falsely reporting an incident charge was dismissed. Laird paid a $250 fine, prosecutors said.

DETROIT – GMC unveiled its all-new 2015 Canyon mid-size pickup truck Sunday, a few days ahead of its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show.
The Canyon shares a platform with the all-new Chevrolet Colorado, which first debuted at the Los Angeles Auto Show back in November. However, the GMC model shares much of the same styling cues as its larger sibling, the GMC Sierra, which was just redesigned last year.
Among those features include the c-shaped LED accents around the headlights and a three-bar grille.
GMC promises big-truck performance in the Canyon, despite its smaller size. The truck can have a maximum towing capacity of 6,700 pounds, it has 13 moveable tie-down locations plus four stationary ones, and the bed can accept a platform that splits it into upper and lower sections.
Powering all this truck is a standard inline four-cylinder engine with an estimated 193 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. There's also a 3.6-liter V-6 available that cranks out 302 horsepower and 270 pound feet of torque.
Inside, GMC is trying to make trucks more civilized with things like a standard 4.2-inch screen embedded in the instrument cluster, an available 8-inch screen in the center console and several USB ports. If you want, you can even have a Canyon with a built-in Wi-Fi hot spot.
There's also a new gadget specifically targeted at parents. It's called "Teen Driver" and it allows parents to set things like a radio volume limit and speed limit (similar to Ford's MyKey system). GM's version can also mute the radio when a seat belt is not fastened, and it records information about speed, braking and other useful information that can be reported back to the parents.
The 2015 Canyon is expected to go on sale a little later this year.

Federal law already discourages marriage via welfare payments to single mothers and higher tax rates for married couples. And starting in January, ObamaCare will pile on one more disincentive to tying the knot: higher health insurance costs for couples who marry.
The healthcare law's individual mandate requires every American to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty. Those whose employers do not offer "affordable" coverage must obtain coverage on their own.
Depending on one's income level, coverage not obtained through an employer may be subsidized, in whole or in part, by the federal government. Households with incomes under the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) will be covered by Medicaid. Households with incomes between 100 percent and 400 percent of the FPL will be given subsidies in the form of refundable tax credits to help offset the cost of private coverage. Everyone else will have to pay his own way.
The tax-credit subsidies are intended to serve as a cap on the amount of household income that a family must pay for a specified level of government-approved health insurance. The subsidy starts high so that a family earning 100 percent to 133 percent of the FPL will only have to pay 2 percent of their income for coverage, then gradually decreases as income increases, with a family earning between 300 percent and 400 percent of the FPL shelling out 9.5 percent of their income in premiums.
Here is where the marriage penalty comes in. According to CNSNews.com's Terence P. Jeffrey, "Married couples seeking the subsidy are required to file joint tax returns and whether their premiums are capped or not is determined by the couple's combined income. The law thus imposes a steep penalty on Americans who live in traditional families."
In other words, though one or both members of a couple might qualify for subsidies if they remained single and thus had lower individual incomes, neither will qualify for a subsidy if they wed and their combined income exceeds 400 percent of the FPL. This, noted the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is because "the tax credit amount is linked to [FPL] and FPL does not increase proportionally as household size increases."
Jeffrey offers a hypothetical example, basing his calculations on the Kaiser Family Foundation's online subsidy calculator.
A 50-year-old divorcee with three children who earns $47,100 a year would be faced with an annual health insurance premium of $11,140. However, since her household income is only 200 percent of the FPL for a family of four, she would receive a subsidy of $8,172 to keep her insurance cost to 6.3 percent of her income, or $2,967.
Our single mom meets a 56-year-old man who makes $63,000 a year and pays an annual premium of $7,041 with no subsidy because his income exceeds 400 percent of the FPL for an individual.
As long as the two remain unwed — even if they choose to cohabit — they will pay a total of $10,008 in insurance premiums each year, with taxpayers picking up the rest of the tab. But if they decide to tie the knot, their combined income will make them both ineligible for a subsidy, and they will therefore have to pay the full cost of their insurance, which will now come to $18,181 a year, or 16.5 percent of their income.
The House Oversight Committee offered another scenario: "In 2014, 400 percent of the FPL will be about $45,600 for a one-person household, increasing roughly $16,000 for each additional household member ($61,600 for a two-person household). Thus, … two individuals who make between $61,600 and $91,200 (twice the FPL of a one-person household) will not benefit from the tax credit if they decide to marry since they will be over 400 percent of the FPL for a two-person household. These two individuals can benefit from the tax credit, however, if they remain unmarried or if currently married, they decide to divorce."
ObamaCare, in fact, seems almost deliberately designed to penalize wedlock, the committee observed:
According to the JCT [Joint Committee on Taxation] estimates, married couples will receive less than 15 percent of the PPACA's [Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act] tax credits. At most, only two million married couples (out of nearly 60 million married couples in the country) are projected to benefit from the health insurance tax credit in any year through 2021. Almost half of the beneficiaries of the tax credit will be unmarried individuals without dependent children. About forty percent of the individuals who are projected to claim the credit will file as the head of a household. These households mostly consist of a single parent with at least one dependent child. These numbers suggest that an impact of the PPACA's health insurance tax credit will be to introduce a significant new marriage penalty into the tax code.
There are, however, rare instances under ObamaCare in which getting married may actually redound to the couple's benefit. John C. Goodman of the National Center for Policy Analysis wrote:
In some cases, getting married may be worth the financial penalty, however. If you and your partner each earn 100 percent of the federal poverty level (currently $10,830), you would (individually) qualify for Medicaid and would not be allowed to purchase private coverage in the exchange. However, if you are married, your combined income would disqualify you for Medicaid. If you bought insurance in the exchange, you would be required to pay 4 percent of your household income (or $866). The ability to get out of Medicaid (which pays low doctor fees) and into a private plan (which may pay market rates) may be worth the extra premium you have to pay — especially if you value more ready access to care.
Aside from this relatively uncommon scenario, though, it is clear that ObamaCare (in Jeffrey's words) "rewards people who don't marry, don't work and don't take care of their own children. It punishes people who do marry, work hard and take care of their own children." And that is just one more reason it needs to go.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 12, 2011) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team handed Brazil its first 2011 FIVB World League loss with a 25-21, 25-22, 16-25, 26-24 victory on Sunday in front of 17,836 yellow-clad fans in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
The victory means the U.S. Men will return to the United States with a 4-2 record as they get set for three World League weekends at home (June 17-18 against Poland at Hoffman Estates, Ill.; June 24-25 against Brazil in Tulsa, Okla., and July 1-2 against Puerto Rico in Long Beach, Calif.).
Brazil falls to 5-1, but is still in first place in Pool A. It will host Puerto Rico (0-6) on June 18-19.
Blocking was the name of the game for the U.S. Men, who out-blocked Brazil 15-9, led by middle blocker Ryan Millar (Alpine, Utah) with a match-high five stops. Middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) and outside hitter Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) each added four blocks apiece.
Brazil led the U.S. in kills, 59-50. The U.S. Men's hitting efficiency was 0.267 while their kill percent was 41.7 Brazil's hitting efficiency was 0.256 and its kill percent was 44.4.
The teams tied in aces 1-1 and each had 12 service errors.
Brazil led in digs, 59-38 and had 26 digging errors while the U.S. Men had 38. Brazil also led in excellent receptions, 57-47. Each team was charged with one reception error.
"I am very pleased with the way my team played today," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said. "I think we did not make as many errors during the important moments. Yesterday I told my team that we could not give away so many errors and it did not happen today.
"Brazil has an amazing environment for volleyball. We have some young guys on the team like Anderson and I think that they learned a lot with these matches."
Brazil Head Coach Bernardo Rezende was not happy with the timing of his team's errors.
"The difference between this match and the last game was when the errors happened," he said. "We made a lot of mistakes at important moments of the game. We have to play with more intelligence."
Anderson led all scorers with 21 points on 17 kills (0.500 hitting efficiency; 56.7 kill percent) and four blocks. Outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) added 16 points on 15 kills (0.400 hitting efficiency; 50.0 kill percent) and one block. Lee finished with 10 points on six kills and four blocks.
Brazil Team Captain Murilo Endres paced his club with 20 points on 18 kills and two blocks. Wallace Martins added 12 kills, one block and one ace.
Among other U.S. players, opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) scored nine points on eight kills and one ace. Millar finished with seven points on two kills to go with his five blocks.
Setter Brian Thornton (San Clemente, Calif.) scored one point with a block and opposite Evan Patak (Pleasanton, Calif.), who played as a substitute, scored on a kill.
Thornton was credited with 13 running sets and one fault on 117 attempts and an average of 3.25 running sets per set.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) led the U.S. in digs with 11 (13 faults) to average 2.75 per set. Stanley had eight digs (five faults) and averaged 2.0 per set.
Anderson led the team in excellent receptions with 21 and no faults on 36 attempts. Priddy had 15 receptions and one fault on 22 attempts.
U.S. Men's Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) started Anderson and Priddy at outside hitter, Lee and Millar at middle blocker, Stanley at opposite, Thornton at setter and Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) at libero.
Patak, outside hitter Paul Lotman (Lakewood, Calif.), setter Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) and middle blocker Russell Holmes (Fountain Valley, Calif.) all played as substitutes.
The U.S. Men held an 8-7 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) and came out of the break with a 4-0 run behind the serving of Stanley, scoring on a kill and block by Anderson along with a Brazil error. A U.S. serving error ended the run with the U.S. leading 12-7. The U.S. continued to lead by five at 16-11 at the second TTO as the teams traded points on the way. The U.S. got kills from Priddy and Lee along with help from Brazil errors. Coming out of the break, Brazil scored twice on kills by (No 2) and Knipe called timeout. Anderson answered with a kill and the U.S. scored two more points on a Brazil hitting error and Millar block to take a 19-13 lead. The teams again traded points, including another Millar block and two kills from Priddy, until the U.S. led 23-17. A U.S. serving error and kill by Murilo – a tip to the back row after a long rally – pulled Brazil to within four at 23-19. The U.S. reached match point at 24-19 on Stanley's kill. Brazil scored twice on a U.S. serving error and tip by Vissotto, causing Knipe to call timeout. Priddy ended things with a back-row quick.
The teams tied 3-3 to open the second set when the U.S. went up by two on a Lee kill and Brazil error. Brazil came back with a kill, but the U.S. went on another run on a Stanley kill, Lee tip and Anderson block to reach the first TTO leading 8-4. Brazil's Wallace answered with a kill, but a Brazil serving error sent the U.S. on another run and it used blocks from Anderson and Priddy to go ahead 11-5. Brazil answered with two straight blocks, a U.S. hitting error and a kill from Murilo to pull to within two points and cause Knipe to call timeout leading 11-9. Anderson scored with a kill, but Brazil scored twice more with kills to cut the lead to one at 12-11. With the U.S. leading 14-12, Brazil tied the score on a Murilo block and kill from Lucas Saatkamp to tie the score. A Brazil service error and Priddy kill gave the U.S. a 16-14 lead at the second TTO. Lee's block put the U.S. ahead 17-14, but Brazils scored twice on a kill and block from Murilo to pull to within one and cause the U.S. to call another timeout. Lee's block and a Brazil error increased the U.S. lead again and caused Brazil coach to call timeout. The teams traded points until the U.S. got two points in a row on blocks by Priddy and Anderson to lead 22-18. The U.S. reached set point at 24-21. Brazil scored with a kill, but Priddy again ended the set with a kill for the U.S.
Brazil pull starting setter Bruno Rezende for Marlon Muraguti in the third set but the teams kept things close with Brazil holding an 8-7 lead at the first TTO. The U.S. scored on kills from Millar and Lee along with a Lee block. Anderson tied the score at 8-8 with a kill, but Brazil went on a 4-0 scoring run, including a kill and two blocks, to lead 12-8 before Priddy could respond with block of his own. Two straight U.S. errors caused Knipe to call timeout with Brazil leading 14-9. The timeout cooled Brazil's serve as the U.S. scored on the error, but the U.S. Men handed the point back with a service error of their own. With Brazil leading 15-11 it scored two more straight points on a kill and a block from Sidnei dos Santos (Sidao). The U.S. scored on Brazil's service error, but Brazil came back with a setter dump from Muraguti followed by two U.S. hitting errors to lead 20-12. Knipe called another timeout and Priddy came back with a kill. The teams traded points until Brazil's lead was 21-14 and it scored on a kill from Rodrigo Santana and block by Endres. Trailing 23-14, the U.S. got points from its substitutes; first a back-row attack by Lotman and then a Patak strike, but Santana took Brazil to set point with a quick kill and Sidao sealed it with a block.

FieldfaresCreatures mainly outside of our Gardens; Land, Water and Sea
14 posts • Page 1 of 1
For many weeks we have been seeing flocks of the same birds in the fields where we walk, we were never able to see them close up to clearly identify them, but over the weeks we have watched, studied and noted their characteristics and markings gradually working out what they were not!
Finally today several flew from a bush in front of us so we could clearly identify them from our "list of possibles" as Fieldfares, a lovely looking bird which by putting out fruit over this winter we hope to entice into our garden.
So one more feathery friend to add to the growing list of birds we can recognize, learning all the time, not bad for a couple of olduns!!!!

Re: Fieldfares
I've got a flock, I think it's mixed blackbirds & different thrushes in the hedges of garden & field. The light hasn't been good enough to make out the colours.
I do think fieldfares are handsome.
They are quite shy though - it takes hard weather to bring them near. Interesting how, when I put out apples in the grass (after I'd cleared snow away) the field fares came but spread out. If I fed starlings they all swooped down and didn't mind being close.

Re: Fieldfares
We have had flocks of fieldfares in the field at the bottom of our garden, but not seen any this year.
Re: Fieldfares
They're a devil to photograph, there's 200 plus in the trees alongside the field at the end of the Lane, they have a habit of always being two trees ahead of you!
Actually got one though !
There's a strong liklihood there's a few Redwings in amongst yours, part of the same Thrush family and live alongside each other well.
I've still to get a definitive photo of one..
Both are RSPB Red listed, so always great to see them and anyone else having some close by.
Re: Fieldfares
A right treat this morning had several fieldfares sitting in our walnut tree coming down to eat the fruit we put out for the chickens, a first and it has got the day of to a good start
"Not all those who wander are lost"
Re: Fieldfares
Our previous house had cooking apple trees and they used to come down in their dozens for those, not sure whether they would get upset tummies though, bit sour.
Re: Fieldfares
I like Fieldfares in respect they make a noise, uplifts winter a bit.
The 200 or 300 which were around November and December seem to have moved on, same as last year.
I believe they migrate away altogether in March.
I saw two on the field the other day though, plus a few Redstarts tagging along.
Re: Fieldfares
I've never seen a redstart - seen plenty of redwings.
Whenever I go out with my daughters partner he shows me something I've never seen. Osprey (just happened to be flying over N.Wales last spring), Water Rail & Long eared owl (on the same visit to Burton Mere), Great Egret (in Sandbach), Cattle Egret (back to Burton), and on Christmas Day at Moore a marsh tit (probably - if he can't tell between that and a willow tit I'm sure i can't)

Re: Fieldfares
I apologise, should have said Redwings.
I've seen Common Redstarts around Folkestone and Dungeness.
Here's a Jay in Spring..
Re: Fieldfares
Thanks for the pictures Richard, the one of the redstarts has just helped us identify the little birds that have been flying in and out of the barn as Black redstarts, stunning little things.
You live a learn a bit everyday

Re: Fieldfares
or could be a Stonechat Trev?
Re: Fieldfares
These have a lovely deep black colour running from their head to half way down their back also black wings, their lower back is a coppery? colour extending to their tail. If I manage to get a photo I will post it on here for a (hopefully) positive id but rather cold at present out there during the day!!

Winning will be a good way to end the year!
I would love to hear them. Hope the mid bass isn't boosted very much.
Good luck everybody. I seem like a green option transport wise though. You can issue a direct shipment Danemark-Belgium ;-)
Would love to compare it to my Shure SRH840 and Focal Spirit Pro. (I think the Sennheiser HD25-pro aluminium to be too bass-heavy to be fully comparable (am I the only one that thinks it's damn bass heavy? Tyll's wall of fame review doesn't really put a stress on that...)
I've always wanted to hear a pair of these!
Winning this would be a rad way to enter 2016
I'had an eye on these for some time
Thanks for the opportunity.
My current collection consists of a single headphone and it would love some company ;)
The original TMA-1 was decent sounding with one of the most solid feeling builds I've seen in a headphone. I wonder what this sounds like. Probably has the same solid build.
How do the Danes manage all this style while being so laid back????
Do I need one to fill a percieved hole in my collection...?
Interesting choice of names... Sound like good cans for out and about.
I always like the style of AIAIAI heapdhones starting with the Tracks. The modular approach of the TMA-2 is very interesting.
I'll win in any competiton. Never won anything in my life!!!!
....oh, and these sweet headphones!
I have never tried an AIAIAI. It certainly looks great!
Very curious about these. Always up for trying new headphones.
Don't waste your time I already won
Inner Fidelity is the greatest thing ever.
Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!
AiAiAiAi ... Good gift for my daughter !!!
Hope they sound as nice as they look!
AIAIAI headphones are just like the ones Calvin Harris uses
Would be sweet of course to win.
might be just what I need to make this the BEST headphone I've ever owned . . . although the last "titanium driver" I owned didn't do a damn thing to improve my golf game! Maybe this one will change my luck! ;^)
Here's to 2016 and my new headphones;)
Always willing to try out a new brand of cans, especially if they are free!
I'll tell you how they sound once I win them.
I've noticed Aiaiai headphones on the heads of commuters in my city for some time and they continue to intrigue. What do they know about these headphone that I don't? The stealthy minimalist design and basic black colour scheme appeals, and is a must have accessory for any suit or corporate uniform type. I'll have what they're having thanks.
Seems like some nice headphones. Would love to check them out.
These cans sound like they'd be fun to take for a spin.
would be a good addition to the collection
... that said, I hope they add color/finish options in the future!
I'm in need for a set, would love to win!
How these would sound through a Schiit Vali hybrid headphone amp. Mmmmmm......
No offense, Aiaiai sounds like the guy from "Fist of the North Star" barraging 1000 punches. WATATATATATATAATATTA!
let us be clean of religions & nationalities
Love the modular approach of the TMA-2 I want to enter the sweepstake
Very interested on these headphones. Thanks for the opportunity to win ones.
I am in to see if I can win these headphones. They look pretty cool!!
Would love a new pair of headphones! Thanks!
I tried a pair and they are very comfortable. Great looks, great feel and solidity, but I think I would opt for the S04 speaker units.
I would like to try these headphones.
I hope they sound good. They would make a great gift.
Old phones long gone so ready to use these!!!
I would like to win a pair of Aiaiai Studio Modular Headphone Preset headphones. I would use them on-the-go, mostly commuting to work.
Love the name, the visuals, and the sound is decent for casual listening. I have been using pipes for about 4 years now. I wear them when commuting in my bike. THey are tough, musical and warm sounding, fun to listen to and beautiful to loook at. They used to be even cooler, the first one I got came in a thick plexiglass cylinder, awesom graphics and supercoool colors. the cord is like an old telephone cord so it doesnt tangle easily.
Wishing a happy & safe Holiday to all!
Wishing you all a happy holiday season.
...who wants these cans! Best of luck to me!
Would love to hear these!
Thanks for the contest...these headphones look intriguing!
Always loved the brand name! (Though I do confess the (probably twisted) urge to declare aloud "AIAIAI; That's a spicy'a meatball!")
I'll show myself out & anxiously await word that I've won.
..to have a pare. A year ago I was looking into these, but decided to go for Onkyos. They do not totally satisfy, so I would really like to have a pare of AiAiAi's.
Sounds great. Please make me a winner!
Nice price. Good luck to everyone.
Happy Holidays.
You know, I saw these cans on Unbox Therapy some time ago, and found them quite fascinating. I really like how you can customize them, changing earpad types, driver tunings, etc. I wonder how they sound!
Look like a nice set of cans. Hope I am lucky this christmas season!
Happy holidays to all headphone Fans!
Good luck everybody!
Hope i get it :)
these headphones look great!
Thanks for the Xmas present to everyone! Love this website! Keep it up!

The Strategy Gamer goes to town on how strategy games portray narrative through gameplay, a detail a lot of popular games haven't considered.
"Games like Uncharted 3 try to cover up weak core gameplay with highly polished non-interactive elements. While Naughty Dog did a fantastic job with those cutscenes, with beautiful graphics, excellent and top notch voice acting, they served as misdirection, as the actual gameplay consisted of weak shooting and poorly designed levels. It is a monstrous error when the greatest feature of a game is a portion where the player does not even get to participate."
Uncharted 3...the game which will be nitpicked to death for years to come
Ahh its almost been a year lets go bash uncharted 3 again that never gets old...
its failed sold hard it sold in the millions and a year later i still play it every single day and online community is always active.
I don't really understand what was wrong with Uncharted 3 and why people need to nitpick it.
Story was more personal and added much-needed depth to Nathan Drake.
Core elements such as shooting and platforming were refined and more puzzles that required you to think were added.
Online was also leagues above Uncharted 2.
But Uncharted 3 does have horribly done stealth sections.
But I guess I'm only calling them horrible because you need insane timing and positioning to really get through the optional stealth sections, and if you failed, Uncharted 3 made you pay, hard.
But at the end of the day, Uncharted 3 was spectacular.
