Question of the Week
What nickname should we give to Eddie, our new podcast member?
This week we're excited to welcome a new cast member, Eddie Kaufholz, to our crew. And while Eddie is fun, lovable and an all-around great addition, it's clear that he needs help in finding a nickname. Naturally, this is where you come in. Take a moment to study the picture of Eddie (posted above) and then tell us what Eddie's new nickname should be, along with the backstory surrounding the creation of this nickname. We'll try out our favorites on Eddie next week and see which one fits the best! Oh, and feel free to connect with Eddie and welcome him to the crew. His Twitter is @EdwardorEddie.

Nicknames for Eddie: "Intolerant Eddie"- cuz thats how he rolls; "pool boy", "the Leak". -cuz of the pool business.
As far as a back story for "the leak"... just act mysterious. Maybe, he leaked secret documents. Maybe, he was a plumber. Maybe, he just can't hold his bladder. MAYBE, you will never know why he is called "the leak". Maybe he would have to kill you if you found out. Maybe he is just that mysterious... maybe...

Acoustic AB50 Acoustic Bass Combo AmplifierThe AB50 Bass Combo Amp is the first amplifier specifically designed for Acoustic-Electric Bass. The 50W AB50 is a 1x10 amplifier that offers you simple operation, great bass tone and dashing looks. Two combination XLR/1/4" input jacks so that you can plug a high or low impedance device into either channel. Stereo 1/8" Line-in and headphone jack enables you to jam with your favorite CDs or MP3s right through your amp, without ticking the neighbors off.Acoustic brand amps have always been known for their durability and simplicity. Designed by musicians, they sport unique and useful features, have outstanding tone, and are louder and more powerful than many similarly priced amps.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I actually use my Acoustic AB50 as it was meant to be used: as a practice combo with an acoustic bass. In my case, it's a highly-modified upright guitarr?n tuned E1-A1-D2-G2-C3-F3, which is redesigned to play double bass blues and jazz lines. This small combo is everything I need for practice, and I have no doubt that it would work well as a small-venue amp, too. (Although I never play rock music so I'd never have to compete with a slam-bam drummer.)
It has features that I like very much, including: transparent sound, two dual-purpose combination high/lo impedance input jacks with separate volume controls (great for use with teacher and student or with a separate mic), an 1/8" input that allows you to play and accompany mp3 play-alongs (which you easily can make from play-along CDs), an 1/8" headphone jack, a comfortable strap-handle, rock-sturdy construction with metal corners, and very simple operation.
The AB50 also has several features that are not available on its sister combo, the Acoustic B20: a tight 10" speaker combined with a 2" tweeter (which make the soloist, chord player, and ride cymbal in play-alongs sound very good), a 1/4" output, tilt-back design, removable power cord, and a bit more power. It has a 3-band EQ (compared to a 4-band EQ for the B20), which I find perfectly adequate. (I use a multi-band EQ pre-amp with it anyway.)
I originally thought that my AB50 buzzed when I played a G, Ab, or A, but that turned out to be because I had placed it badly in the room--much too close to some furniture. Changing its position eliminated any such problem.
I was able to try out the AB50 at my local music store before I purchased. I was concerned that a bass combo might not reproduce the ride cymbal, soloist, and chord player very well in play-alongs, but I ran an mp3 play-along through it in the store and it sounded great--as did an acoustic bass I plugged into it. For what it is and for what it's for--the Acoustic AB50 unquestionably rates 5 stars.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Mauricio Funes, in full Carlos Mauricio Funes Cartagena (born Oct. 18, 1959, San Salvador, El Sal.), television journalist who served as president of El Salvador (2009– ).
Funes was educated in Roman Catholic elementary and secondary schools before majoring in communications at the Jesuit Central American University of José Simeón Cañas (UCA). There he was greatly influenced by sociology professor Francis Miguel ("Hato") Hasbún, a leftist activist. The violent death of Funes's older brother, who was killed by police during a student protest in August 1980, induced Funes to leave the university before completing his degree. Yet, despite his leftist leanings, he did not join a political party or participate in the country's ongoing guerrilla warfare. Instead, he taught literature in Catholic schools, where he emphasized audiovisual methods of communication.
In 1986 Funes became a reporter for the state educational channel, launching a highly successful career in television journalism. In 1987 he moved to Channel 12, a privately operated channel known for its news coverage, where his analytic coverage of Salvadoran politics appealed to the country's leftist and working-class interests. He interviewed leaders of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional; FMLN)—a Salvadoran rebel group composed of Marxist guerrillas, which became an official political party in 1992—and other leftist parties, as well as leftist leaders from abroad. In 1991 Funes assisted Hasbún in developing an audiovisual centre and radio station at the UCA. Funes also was a longtime correspondent for Cable News Network (CNN) Spanish-language telecasts.
Funes's investigative reporting for Channel 12 won him several awards, including the prestigious Maria Moors Cabot Prize for inter-American journalism in 1994. He was promoted to news director at Channel 12 in 1997, but his harsh criticism of the right-wing National Republican Alliance (Alianza Republicana Nacionalista; ARENA) government led to censorship and death threats, and in 2005 Channel 12 fired him and several other journalists. Funes continued to appear on other channels, however, and remained a national celebrity among leftists.
With Hasbún as his adviser, Funes exploited his popularity to become the FMLN candidate for the presidency in September 2007. He was the first FMLN presidential candidate who had not been a guerrilla fighter in the 1980s. In the long electoral campaign, Funes accused ARENA of doing nothing for the Salvadoran people in its nearly 20-year reign. He promised social justice, economic reform, improved standards of living, universal health care, and better access to education, housing, and pensions, as well as policies to stem rising crime and gang violence. In the election on March 15, 2009, Funes won 51.3 percent of the vote, defeating ARENA candidate Rodrigo Ávila.
Funes began a five-year term on June 1, 2009. As president, he took a pragmatic and conciliatory tone toward the opposition. He emphasized that he was not a Marxist or even a socialist, promised that he had no interest in imposing such ideologies as systems of government in El Salvador, and pledged not to align the country's foreign relations too closely with either Venezuela or the United States. Shortly after his inauguration, however, Funes signed a document that provided for the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba, which had been severed 50 years earlier. Another of Funes's first acts as president was to announce a $600 million national emergency plan to assist poor Salvadorans; several social reforms were included in the plan.

This year we received over 500 submissions for our annual essay contest. The contest is held each year in honour of MCpl. Mark R. Isfeld, and attracts participants from all across Canada.
Congratulations to Rebecca Balcerzak on her first place essay, "The True Teachers". Read Rebecca's essay below, along with those from our second, third and honourable mention submissions. A short biographical piece and photo has also been provided from those winners who provided them.
Thank you to all participants for your submissions and we hope eligible students will apply again next year!
For more information about Mark and his family visit the Mark Isfeld Memorial page: http://izzydoll.ca/.
First Place
Rebecca Balcerzak, "The True Teachers"
Rebecca has just graduated from Waterloo Collegiate Institute and has been accepted into Carleton University where she will be studying political science. She says it has been her privilege to have amazing peacemakers as friends, mentors, and teachers who, without a doubt, have inspired her to pursue politics in post-secondary education. In high school she was involved in the arts as a member of the Arts Council in which she had the opportunity to work alongside phenomenal leaders who tirelessly worked to enrich our school. She has also volunteered as a soccer mentor to autistic children, at the suggestion of her soccer coach who encouraged her team to give back to the community by sharing the sport they love.
"After researching MCpl. Mark Isfeld, I know that he shared many of the same qualities that made him an exemplary peacemaker with some of my friends, mentors, and teachers. I could not be the person who I am today without these extraordinary peacemakers in my life. They have shaped my character and have inspired me to work harder and to take the tough road. I answered the essay's question by sharing my experience of how they have molded me into a better individual. I believe that their boundless optimism, strength, and above all hope that one day peace will prevail – even in the most trying of circumstances – reflects MCpl. Mark Isfeld's own belief that even in the midst of hate and war, people can still be decent, kind, and good. "
Second Place
Herie Sun, "Finding Hope in Peace"
Herie is sixteen years old and has just graduated from Waterloo Collegiate Institute in Waterloo, Ontario. He will be attending McGill University in the fall of 2012 to study in the biological, biomedical and life sciences program. Herie hopes to one day become a doctor in the field of paediatrics, doing work in hospitals such as SickKids in Toronto, as well as in conflict-torn regions of the world with organizations such as Doctors without Borders. He enjoys being active in his community, and some of his favourite things in life include writing, playing the piano, long-distance running, public speaking and playing with his hyperactive five-year-old sister
Third Place
Jennifer Liu, "Making the World Better, One Case at a Time"
Born in Vancouver and raised in Richmond, British Columbia, seventeen-year-old Jennifer Liu is a recent graduate of A.R. MacNeill Secondary School and is very active in her community. She spends most of her time helping organize and volunteering at community gatherings, youth conferences, and school events. Her involvement and leadership earned her a nomination for the Ethel Tibbits Women of Distinction Award in the Youth category this past year. Growing up with great exposure to the fine arts has led to her interest and appreciation in all forms of it, as well as a job as a piano teacher for beginners at the Richmond Music School. In September 2012, Jennifer will begin studies at Simon Fraser University in the area of Communication
"Thank you so much for awarding me third place in the 2011/2012 Mark R. Isfeld Essay Contest. The topic was general enough for me to take it and go in whichever direction I wished to, so it was quite enjoyable writing and researching ideas for this essay. It really means a lot to me to be able to share the story of someone who has tried so hard to make such an impact in my local and the international community."
Honourable Mention
Hou Miu (Phoebe) Ng, "Untitled"

Doctor Who's Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Steven Moffat have responded to questions submitted by BBC America's Facebook fans. And we're rolling out one video response a day until Saturday's midseason premiere! Yesterday, we posted a clip of Matt paying tribute to the Doctor's long-running TARDIS-mate Sarah Jane Smith, played by the late Elisabeth Sladen.
Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and lead writer/executive producer Steven Moffat recently made time out of their hectic schedules to answer questions put forth by BBC America's Facebook fans. And we'll be posting the clips each day this week. Today, Matt Smith answers Patty Snow Ferris's question, "If you had to choose one of the previous companions to travel with, who would it be and why?" And his response is a touching nod to a very beloved — and deeply missed — TARDIS sidekick.

dumb unfortunate. We'll talk to our friends at Anglophenia and try to get it unblocked.

DODSON — The Doyline Panthers dropped a 9-4 district game to Dodson on Tuesday.
"We just can't seem to get rolling again," Doyline coach John Austin said. "We had five errors in two innings and you can't win ball games like that."
Luke Watson took the loss on the mound.
Peyton Goerner led the offense with a single and a double and drove in all four Panther runs.
Zach Jordan added a pair of singles and Micheal Augustine had a double. Watson and Garrett Smith added singles.
"I think our time is coming," Austin said. "We are hitting the ball hard, just not getting the breaks we need and we are carrying it out on to the field with us. Once we get past this, I think we will be okay."
Doyline is now 7-11 overall and 0-4 in district.

7 tips for looking extra special on the night of a million photo ops.
We fell hard for Natalie Alcala last fall, when the LA-based writer and blogger spent a week guest blogging for us. In fact, we loved her posts so much that we asked her to be a contributing editor. In addition to blogging for us once a week, she'll also be writing for the Birchbox Magazine and keeping us up to speed on all things fashion, beauty, and fun.
Although my go-to party look is a super-smoky cat eye and a rich rouge pout, some occasions deserve more experimentation. While perusing for New Year's Eve beauty inspiration, I stumbled upon this brilliant editorial in French magazine Madame Figaro. Although the feature is meant to promote three of the season's fiercest headbands, it also showcases three fantastic makeup options for this year's ultimate party.
(Photo: Madame Figaro)
1. Victorian Vixen: Channel your modern Marie Antoinette by dipping into your spring pastel palettes for this look. After filling in brows, lightly apply Make Up For Ever's #93 Irish Green (an exact match) or Stila's Night Sky (a charming blue alternative) around the entire eye. Complete the look with a few coats of Alicia Silverstone for Juicy Beauty's Pure Kissable Lip Color for the perfect pink pucker and a swipe of a creamy blush, like Jouer's Poppy. Top your messy bun with a standout bejeweled headband and you're good to go!
New Year's Eve is just three short days away, and for us that means it's time to break out the glitter! Whether you're attending a big, fancy shindig or a small gathering with friends and family, you want to feel special as you leap into 2013. We've got just the look for you—watch as makeup artist Stefanie Syat transforms Birchbox staffer Deepica for a big night out.
Even if you don't want to go all out with glitter, you can still look special on New Year's Eve. Editorial Director Mollie shows us her go-to special occasion makeup look.

We were big fans of Jessica Biel's sultry dark hair and bridal-inspired lace dress at the Golden Globes last month, but now she's changed up her look and is sporting some serious fringe! We give it a big thumbs up.
The New Year's Eve actress has rocked bangs before, but always in more of a sideswept look. We're loving the girlishly-blunt, super-full bang for the newly-engaged star since it fits with her classic, but occasionally adventurous style. (Btw, Reese Witherspoon recently made the transition to brow-length fringe, too.)
What do you think of Jessica's new bangs?
When we have to style our bangs, we tame the flyaways with this serum to get the perfect glossy finish.
We're still recovering from last weekend's parties but it's only going to get worse this weekend. We already know we'll eat too much, drink too much, and stay up way too late on New Year's Eve. It's a fun — but exhausting — way to kick off 2012. Luckily, we have a few tricks up our sleeve for bouncing back on January 1. Read More!

Lancaster County Council asked us for help in deciding whether to keep the extra 1 cent sales tax and, if so, how to spend it. Wonderful idea and we did just that. Then they chose to turn all this information over to the tax commissioners to sift through and make a recommendation. That was great. Things were moving along smoothly.
For the second time in a month, the S.C. Supreme Court has ruled against openness and punted important issues back to the Legislature for change.
On July 16, the court ruled that autopsy records are exempt from release under the Freedom of Information Act because they are medical records.
Why does this matter to the public?
It matters because the next time police shoot an innocent man, don't expect the public to have access to the autopsy report giving the details of the death.
In last month's column, I talked about the county budget process. The budget was given final approval upon third reading of the budget ordinance June 23 by a unanimous vote of Lancaster County Council.
This month's column will highlight what was in the budget and discuss some of the items that were not in the budget.
I'd like to discuss some issues that are causing new businesses not to want to locate here. Lancaster is having trouble producing enough skilled workers to fill needs of prospective businesses and companies. I'm talking welders, HVAC technicians, machine operators, etc.
So, what are some answers that will address this problem?
The Van Wyck post office was the subject of a community meeting July 9.
The meeting was scheduled to be held at the post office, but was moved to the community center, due to threatening weather and the large crowd trying to fit into our tiny "village post office."
It seems that small towns across America are losing the heart of their community as the U.S. Postal Service downsizes, closing or drastically reducing counter service hours.
South Carolina's motto, "While I breathe I hope," is surely the most optimistic statement anyone can make. Despite all, if we can draw a breath, we are hopeful and optimistic.
Why does the world continue to cater to the ultimate spoiled child?
When a child with homicidal tendencies acts out, he or she is usually put away somewhere safe, for the good of everyone.
What happens when this spoiled child is the renegade, insane leader of a nuclear power? What happens when this monster kills his own, openly and without remorse, just to show the world he can?
Is there any question who I am referring to?
Lancaster County Republicans have much to be proud of in the recent Republican primary elections.
The strong turnout in the June 10 election provided more proof of the county's growing embrace of the Republican Party, as roughly four times as many voters chose to vote in the Republican primary (4,472-952) than the Democratic primary. It is a telling sign that in a stronghold of Democrats like Jim Hodges and the late Tom Mangum when a Republican Party primary has a four-to-one advantage over the Democratic primary.

David Robert Joseph Beckham, OBE (born 2 May 1975) is an English footballer who plays midfield for Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer, having previously played for Manchester United, Preston North End, Real Madrid, and A.C. Milan, as well as the England national team, for whom he holds the all-time appearance record for an outfield player.
Beckham's career began when he signed a professional contract with Manchester United, making his first-team debut in 1992 aged 17.

Ok so. After looking up what round ligament pain is, that sounds like exactly what I have going on. I never had it with my first...so your thoughts would be much appreciated!!
It's been going on for at least two weeks. Its like a sharp pain in my lower abdomen/crotch area after sudden movements or coughing or sneezing. Like when I am rolling my fat butt out of bed in the morning, it hurts for a few seconds. Or if I hold my pee too long it starts to feel achey down there. But overall it feels nothing like having cramps. Just quick sharp pains, and then afterwards an achiness that goes away soon after. And we have a couch with two recliners on it. It's not exactly easy to put down the recliner, so when i have to wiggle out of the couch I definitely feel the pain.
Of course it worries me a little to be feeling all this stuff. Anything I feel going on down there is always worrisome.
But then part of me is wondering if its a second pregnancy thing, a twin thing, my body is definitely changing rapidly!!!

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) -- The state of Iowa has agreed to pay $2.1 million to settle a lawsuit filed by an Ohio woman whose son died from injuries suffered from nearly drowning during a camp operated by the University of Northern Iowa in Germany, records show.
The settlement ends seven years of litigation between Cleveland-area mother Vinnell Griffen and state lawyers defending Camp Adventure, a program in which college students are sent overseas to run camps for children of U.S. military personnel. Griffen was an Army sergeant based in Germany in 2003 when her 10-year-old son, Blake Jermon, participated in one of its sports camps.
During an outing to a crowded municipal swimming pool, Camp Adventure employees lost track of Jermon, said Griffen's attorney, Pressley Henningsen of Cedar Rapids. He said German students eventually found him on the bottom of the pool and pulled him out, but nobody knows how he got there. Jermon suffered severe brain and spinal injuries and had to use a wheelchair. He died from complications during a 2006 surgery required to correct problems related to his injuries.
"It was a mother's worst nightmare," Henningsen said. "I'm glad we reached an amicable resolution that to me has a measure of fairness. You can't ever make up for what happened to Blake. But you can try to fix it. I think this settlement does that, and I'm happy for my client and I'm happy for Camp Adventure. I think they do a lot of good things. This can only make them better."
Under the settlement, the state will make a lump sum payment to Griffen for $2.1 million. The state also agreed to take over responsibility for an Army lien covering the cost of Jermon's medical care, which Henningsen said was $1.7 million. Griffen and the state agreed to work together to try to persuade the Army to reduce or waive those costs.
Griffen filed the lawsuit in 2005 alleging the state was negligent in failing to manage the Camp Adventure program, failing to properly train and supervise employees, and failing to watch Jermon.
The case reached the Iowa Supreme Court in 2009, when justices ruled that state law did allow lawsuits against state employees for injuries that happen in other countries. A judge had earlier granted a state motion to dismiss the case, ruling the Iowa Tort Claims Act did not extend past U.S. borders.
Henningsen said the settlement was reached to avoid a trial that had been scheduled to begin in February. He said the deal closes "a very horrific chapter" in the life of Griffen, who has retired from the Army and has two college-age daughters, and will allow her to focus on the future.
"She's a wonderful woman and so are her daughters, and she handled it all with a lot of grace. I think that helped us reach a resolution here," Henningsen said. "Not only did she have to be willing to compromise, but the state recognized a wonderful mother, a wonderful family, and I think that plays a role in any case. The things that she did to take care of her son after this incident were amazing."
The state did not admit wrongdoing under the settlement, which has been accepted by a judge and approved by the State Appeal Board.
Thousands of university students have participated in Camp Adventure since its founding in 1984, according to its website, at sites around the world. A program employee referred a request for comment to UNI, where a spokesperson did not immediately return a message. A spokesman for the Iowa Attorney General's Office, which defended the state against the lawsuit, had no immediate comment.
Henningsen said he believed the case had improved Camp Adventure's oversight of employees and children.
"It's an important case which reiterates some basic, fundamental principles that are captured by our law," Henningsen said. "If you are going to agree to watch children, you need to watch them."

The archipelago's centre and tourist hub, SANTA CRUZ is a conical island of just under 1000 square kilometres, whose luxuriant southeastern slopes are cloaked each year in garúa drizzle. Reaching an altitude of 864m, the island supports all Galápagos vegetation zones, from cactus-strewn deserts around the coast, to tangled scalesia and miconia forests wreathed in cloud in the highlands, and sodden grassy pampas at the summit.
Santa Cruz's central location and proximity to the airport on Baltra have helped make it the most heavily populated island in the Galápagos. The majority of the 27,000 or so islanders live in the archipelago's largest town, Puerto Ayora, which is also the nerve centre of the conservation programme, headquarters of both the Charles Darwin Research Station and the Parque Nacional Galápagos. Home to more boats, tour brokers, hotels and restaurants than anywhere else in the islands, Puerto Ayora is also the best place for budget travellers to find last-minute places on cruises. There's plenty to do in the meantime, such as visiting Bahía Tortuga, the Chato Tortoise Reserve or exploring the island's several lava tunnels. Those itching to get to the wildlife can take day-trips by boat to the nearby islands in this central group, namely Santa Fé, Plaza Sur and Seymour Norte.
On the northwest side of Santa Cruz there are several worthwhile sites that can only be visited with guides by boat tours. Occasionally, day-trips sail there, but more commonly boats call at these spots having left the harbour at Baltra. A typical first stop is at Las Bachas, named for the barges the US abandoned on the beach here during World War II; their rusting skeletons still poke through the sand. It's a popular place for swimming, but also makes a good introduction to wildlife, with marine iguanas, hermit crabs, black-necked stilts, great blue herons and turtle nests – you may see turtle tracks from November to February – and flamingos tiptoeing around the saltwater lagoon behind the smaller beach. To the west is Caleta Tortuga Negra, a cove where Pacific green turtles (despite the cove's name) come to breed at the beginning of the warm-wet season. White-tipped reef sharks and rays can be spotted throughout the year, and the lagoon itself is fringed by mangroves, where herons and pelicans nest. On the northwestern tip of the island, the Cerro Dragón site consists of a gravel path winding up from flamingo lagoons to the top of the hill, passing land iguanas and their nests. Most have been repatriated since the extermination of feral dogs here in 1990. Heading further westwards, Bahía Conway (where in 1976 feral dogs attacked and killed a colony of five hundred land iguanas), and Bahía Ballena, a one-time whaling post, are seldom visited.Read More

Santa Cruz lava tubes
Santa Cruz lava tubes
Huge underground lava tubes perforate Santa Cruz, and in places extend for several kilometres, enclosed by high jagged walls that disappear into the gloom. The tubes were formed when cooler outer parts of lava flows hardened into thick rock walls, providing insulation to keep a flow going inside; eventually the flow subsided, leaving long empty tunnels easily big enough to walk down. As they're on private land, you don't need an official guide to explore these volcanic curiosities, though tours can be arranged in Puerto Ayora. The floors can be slippery and rubble strewn, so a flashlight and sturdy shoes are a good idea.
One of the easiest to get to is near Bellavista (follow the "los túneles" signs from the village), where you can hire a flashlight ($0.50) to explore a tunnel ($2) several hundred metres long. Another set, known as El Mirador, is within walking distance 2.5km from town ($1 by taxi). There are also the Salasaca tunnels ($3), 5km northwest of Santa Rosa on the farm of Señor Arias; get in contact with him through one of the agencies to arrange a visit.

I have been looking for a system for my famiyroom that is compact and has quality music. I had the old style system, you know, big speakers, wires everywhere, etc. Time to get with 2013. Read a bunch of reviews on play bars, speakers, sub's and this came out on top. It fits perfect in the small spot I have for it and sounds great. Not overpowering but complimentary to the music. Being tech challenged one phone call to Sonos and I was set up in a few minutes. They were patient and so helpful. And actually spoke plain english so I didn't have to keep asking them to repeat themselves. Apple and Sonos are top on my list for support!! The tech showed me how to balance it with the room and bingo....great quality music. I am adding a picture and the sub is right by the fireplace so you may not see it which was my hope. My room is compact overlooking my kitchen and I needed music to fill the room but didn't want the components overwhelming. Fit the bill perfect!!!

I love the concept, ease of install and simple multi-room control of the whole Sonos setup. The Spotify interface is much less easy to use quite annoying when compared to the classical spotify app, (starting radio, automatically playing songs next in list without importing the whole playlist to your sonos current playlist) I am forced to bypass playing music via the sonos app and play songs via airplay off my tv on the sonos network. Voice clarity while watching movies, while improved with the sonos feature still seems a bit poor. The bass seems weak, and when raising the bass in a typical setup vibrations occur being forced to lower the bass output. I also seem to find the sonos 5 too small for a bigger room, and the sonos 1 very flat in sound even considering its size, it could be a bit more impressive compared to other small speakers that really pack a punch. I miss the real 5.1 ability which is mostly not available on most older tvs we have as well as potentially an even smaller less bulky 5.1 back speakers which could run only on batteries for those who dont want cables connecting the back speakers on a 5.1 setup. I also see mentions of battery life, however, I havent seen anywhere clearly stated if any of the speakers have a rechargable internal battery? Overall however I love the ease of setup and iphone control. I love streaming multiple rooms with its own music.

After moving the Sub to several positions around the living room I found the best placement was behind the leather couch. Out of sight and the reverb is excellent. The couch is 12 inches from the wall.
You need the Sub to get the real sound!
By Benzygirl
from Pompano Beach, Florida
Once you try Sonos, you will start to buy more. It is the most incredible sound, and the ease of playing any song on this planet in any room at any time by typing a couple of words on your iPhone is MIND BLOWING. Bringing music back into our lives has been like therapy. We forgot what we were missing from years back.Just buy it…you'll never be sorry. We did our bedroom, the living room and a "5" speaker in the kitchen. Two sound bars, two base and 4 "1"'s. Makes the TV sound a million times better and we take the kitchen speaker out on our patio sometimes and my husband keeps telling me to make it lower and stop dancing!

We built our house 3 years ago and decided not to wire in for a sound system. I knew someone somewhere was going to bring out a wireless home system and SonoS did just that. I was looking at the Bose front speaker and when I was shown the Sonos and you can add to it by just plugging in. Whatever speaker they offer and whatever room you want. It is fantastic!
Bone-shatteringly good!

Used the sub to fill my hotel/pub with deep rich bass...works a treat!

Do you agree with euthanasia? (for humans)
I recently had an argument with 2 of my teachers on this subject. Whenever asked whether they agree with euthanasia or not they were either avoiding to answer or they were completely against it without bringing any arguments to support their opinion.
As far as I've noticed this is a very controversial and sensitive subject but I couldn't find anyone to debate it with.
Both my history and my religion teacher found their safety saying that Jesus says humans have no right to take away anyone's life but they didn't share their personal opinion.
Basically my belief is that endeed we do not have that right but in some cases,when for instance a certain person is too sick and hasn't got any chance of getting better and that person doesn't have the streght or the will to fight anymore and their desire is to die,shouldn't they be given this right?

May 29 2013: Miclaus, just to let you know where i am coming from. I am a christian of no particular denomination because there isn't one that preaches biblically in my experience, which is sad. So much dogma has turned so many potentially saved people away from Christ's teachings. Your answers should be in a wonderful book called, "The Holy Bible." Even different editions have omitted key verses. I recommend the King James Version as it is the most complete and the most universal. The others were written in order to reach a specific thinking population and segregates the rest, this is horrible and not what was intended by the original orators. We as humans do not know what is in a person's heart at the moment of death. This is why "we" are told, by the words in the bible, not to think we do and not to make decisions based upon the belief that we do.

Thanks for all of that information. In any case, it is kind of fun running 30 year old software at the start of a class to show the beginnings of the spreadsheet...
By the way, you can download a working copy of Visicalc from Dan Bricklin's website: http://www.danbricklin.com/history/vcexecutable.htm
(It is really just a curiosity at this point...)
I actually ran Visicalc directly on Windows thru XP and even Vista, at the beginning of any Excel training that I've done for the last 15 or so years, until I no longer had a 32-bit OS to run it on. The copyright notice says (c) 1978-1981; I'm pretty sure it was 8-bit PC XT software, and it ran directly on Windows thru Vista, as long as it was a 32-bit OS.
It is an interesting way to start out the class, and it's fun to point out that what you get for ~$100.00 has sure changed! Now I have to run it on an emulator, due to Windows 7+ only being offered in 64 bit versions.

Try one of the 'ransom note' fonts that are available, and save your document as a JPEG. That may be enough obfuscation to make OCR difficult/unreliable. Of course, you can type up your paragraph first, then change the font. Much easier on the eyes (and the mind) while typing!

Blog that discusses the issue of white privilege and the Occupy movements.
It's been ages since I've posted anything due to my dissertation and general hectic life. But I am now back. So please submit things if you can!
Detailing different stages white people go through in developing awareness to racism.
A list of privileges cis people have.
Kudos to Peggy McIntosh for her White Privilege Checklist, inspirer of this list and all-around rad resource worth reading more than once. An older version of the cis privilege checklist is available at T-Vox.
Very frequently people like to direct other people to privilege checklists in order to "prove" to them the reality of that privilege. If that's why someone sent you here, you have my sympathy–it's obnoxious, isn't it? So, before you read this list, check out some caveats, explanations, and definitions I've set up; they might make it a bit easier for you to read from the right headspace, and easier to understand.
Submitted by diverse-distractions.
A discussion considering neurotypical privilege.
Something people who talk about privilege don't talk about much:
Part of your majority privilege is the luxury of being ignorant.
Submitted by diverse-distractions.
An article discussing cultural appropriation in the U.S.
First of all, I'm not gonna deal with global cultural appropriation, but rather focus on American appropriation of cultures brought into the US either by immigrants or by Americans who went abroad and brought stuff back.
An interesting discussion about how white privilege operates within feminism.
Over the last thirty years I've worked with a variety of white-dominated feminist organizations that have expressed a wish to "diversify." While feminist organizations differ in structure and intent, the reasons these various organizations gave for bringing me in as a consultant or to hold workshops were strikingly similar. "Why," they wanted to know, "can't we attract women of color to our organization? And when they do show up, why don't they stay?" Sometimes I worked alone, but often I worked with an African American feminist partner. We found, over time, a depressing similarity of pattern as, one after another, the organizations we counseled decided that our suggestions would be "too difficult" to implement. This diary describes my experiences in the world of white feminist organizations and NGOs, and offers an analysis of the key problems of white privilege and the investment of many white feminist institutions in racist practices.
A great primer and explanation on rape culture. Trigger warning for mentions and discussions of rape.
But my correspondents—whether they are dewy noobs just coming to feminism, advanced feminists looking for a source, or disbelievers in the existence of the rape culture—always seem to be looking for something more comprehensive and less abstract: What is the rape culture? What are its borders? What does it look like and sound like and feel like?
It is not a definition for which they're looking; not really. It's a description. It's something substantive enough to reach out and touch, in all its ugly, heaving, menacing grotesquery.
A discussion about how racial privileges intersect.
The finding that white Americans see blacks' progress as an insult or a diminishment of their status is not entirely surprising. Zero-sum formulations of prejudice tend to emerge in lean economic times, fueling cultural or historical rivalries of all sorts.
Criticisms on regulation of items purchased in the U.S. on food stamps.
This is a public service announcement intended for journalists, news outlets, bloggers, folks in charge of creating policy, and people who have been lucky enough to have never relied on government assistance for basic necessities like food.
Just stop. Just stop the madness.

Mark Salzman
Adult Fiction SALZMAN
Summary: In a Carmelite monastery outside present-day Los Angeles, life goes on in a manner virtually un-changed for centuries. Sister John of the Cross has spent years there in the service of God. And there, she alone experiences visions of such dazzling power and insight that she is looked upon as a spiritual master. But Sister John's visions are accompanied by powerful headaches, and when a doctor reveals that they may be dangerous, she faces a devastating choice. For if her spiritual gifts are symptoms of illness rather than grace, will a "cure" mean the end of her visions and a soul once again dry and searching? This is the dilemma at the heart of Mark Salzman's spare, astonishing new novel. With extraordinary dexterity, the author of the best-sellingIron & SilkandThe Soloistbrings to life the mysterious world of the cloister, giving us a brilliantly realized portrait of women today drawn to the rigors of an ancient religious life, and of one woman's trial at the perilous intersection of faith and reason. Lying Awakeis a novel of remarkable empathy and imagination, and Mark Salzman's most provocative work to date.

An initial conversation with Chesterton transfer Jaren Lynch gave first-year South Central softball coach John Hall a positive outlook for this season.
Lynch, who played shortstop on the Class 4A Trojans varsity for three years, met with Hall during a conditioning session in November.
"She said that she played shortstop, but she would play anywhere," Hall said. "That's a team player. I was really impressed with her maturity level."
Through 13 games for the Satellites (10-3), Lynch is hitting .465 with four doubles, three triples, 14 RBIs and 18 runs scored.
"I feel like this is the best year I've played so far," Lynch said. "I just feel so comfortable with the team and the whole environment."
Lynch moved with her mother Beth to Wanatah this school year, saying goodbye to three years of relationships with her former Trojans teammates.
"It was hard leaving some of the girls behind because I had a strong bond with them," Lynch said.
"I just didn't enjoy playing last year."
That's not the case now.
"This team has been so accepting," Lynch said.
But Lynch also accepted the fact that she couldn't come in demanding to play a specific position for the Satellites, who returned seven starters from a lineup that won a Class A Sectional crown last season.
"I understood that there were a lot of starters returning," Lynch said, "so I didn't come in thinking about playing a specific position."
Hall also didn't want to make waves with his new team, so he moved Lynch around in the lineup. In the first five games, Lynch played outfield, third base, second and catcher.
Then, Lynch was moved to shortstop, as veteran infielder Kayla Pritchard one spot to the right to third.
"It seemed like the both accepted the change," Hall said.
Lynch believes the key was the relationship she developed with her infield teammate.
"Kayla and I are best friends, but it was hard competing with her," Lynch said. "I worried a lot about her being mad at me -- but she wasn't."
Besides her defense, Hall doesn't have any worries about Lynch at the plate.
"Jaren hits to all part of the field," said Hall of Lynch, who was moved back a spot to No. 2 early in the season. "She's a great student of the game."
Lynch didn't think about college last year, but that position has also changed.
"I would like to play now; maybe I'll go to Purdue North Central or something," she said.
"It just makes me so happy that I'm doing so well my senior year."

2 prominent economists say Bush tax cuts must go
At the National Association of Business Economists Conference in Washington, Alan Blinder and Lawrence Lindsey offered some firm opinions on what needs to happen for the U.S. economy to get back on a solid growth trajectory once more.
A hushed, standing-room only crowd of sympathetic fellow economists gathered in a hotel ballroom in Arlington, Va., yesterday to listen to the Bearded One, aka Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, opine on the state of the labor market and reiterate his view that further cuts to the unemployment rate may be harder to come by without a decisive increase in economic growth.
When economists Alan Blinder and Lawrence Lindsey stepped up to the podium after Bernanke, the collective mood at the National Association of Business Economists Conference lightened almost visibly. Unlike prior speeches, their ability to share their views wasn't constrained by their positions; both are independent. Blinder, who has served on President Bill Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors and as vice chairman of the Fed, now occupies an economics chair at Princeton. Lindsey, who had been director of the National Economic Council under President George W. Bush, now runs his own economics advisory firm. Neither man is known to shy away from a controversy or two. And sure enough, both had some firm opinions on what needs to happen for the U.S. economy to get back on a solid growth trajectory once more.
1. Say "buh-bye" to the Bush era tax cuts: This was one topic on which both Lindsey and Blinder agreed. Phase 'em out, says Blinder; it was clear a decade ago that these were unaffordable, and they're still unaffordable today. Lindsey agreed on the diagnosis, but suggests a slightly different remedy: Extend them for a year, and then undertake reforms that would eliminate them.
2. Eliminate disincentives to work: Something else that is unaffordable, in Lindsey's view, is long-term unemployment insurance, at least as it is presently designed. "It's a lovely thing to do," he said, but it's not realistic and creates incentives that can exacerbate long-term unemployment. Why not, he suggests, give beneficiaries a lump sum payment instead?
3. Find new sources of revenue: Government has a revenue issue, says Alan Blinder, and needs to find a way to fix that. He thinks it's time to put in place a 1 percent to 2 percent carbon tax. (He didn't offer up any specifics.)
4. Eliminate the income tax: Lindsey favors another kind of tax – doing away with an income-based tax and replacing it with a value-added or consumption-based tax. "Cash is a fact; income is an opinion," he quipped, pointing out that the measure would simplify the tax code.
Economics may never escape the label of being the dismal science, but that doesn't mean debating economic issues has to be dull, lifeless or depressing, as Blinder and Lindsey proved.

Two Economists Say All Signs Point to Obama
Guess Who Wants to Kill Corporate Tax Reform
We can comment all we want, and this is good, but our only option to do anything (except a few hundred thousand people marching, in person, in front of the Capitol Building like we did in the 1960s and 1970s) is to VOTE!
Final consumption sale tax.
When the people buy $100 in groceries and the clerk adds $5 for local tax, $15 for state, $35 for federal tax and $45 to pay off the debt, the s**t will come out of the American peoples head about the cost of government. Socialism well end. Then give the American people the direct right to decide what they are willing to pay for for government. Government will not only be dramatically reduced, it will become considerable more productive.
We have learned to vote ourselves funds from the public trust until we are bankrupt.
On the surface, there is a lot of support for tax reform and increased simplification of the revenue code. However, all of the popular alternatives (flat-tax, consumption tax, "fair-tax", etc.) are popular because most taxpayers assume the result will be a lower personal income tax burden. Unfortunately, when the stated goal of reform is to increase revenue, most individuals will pay MORE tax. You don't need to be a CPA to figure that one out.
And, I have yet to hear an explanation on how a consumption tax would not be horribly regressive.
But as long as the government is fraught with waste, abuse, inefficiency, and long-term promises that cannot be kept, taxes aren't the problem.
It seems to me that point one and point two are incompatible. When you raise taxes you ALWAYS de-incentivize work.
Point three "Government has a revenue issue". It seems to me that government has a spending issue and until that is addressed it will ALWAYS have a revenue issue. If the goal here is to cut the nation's debt then spending must be cut. The Mecatus Center studied over 100 historic examples of attempts at debt reduction in 20 different countries and found that increasing revenue never worked to cut debt.
Point four finally something that makes sense. The Fair Tax system is definitely the way to go. We need to adopt it before another nation does and leaves the U.S. in the ash heap of history
It is a total shame when the government tells you that they should raise your young with school systems that are the worst in the developed world. Tell you what to eat while they approve foods full of carcinogens and pesticides. Tell you how you should budget your home financing while they overspend there revenue by 200%.
The hypocrisy of the federal government is so far out of the real world's understanding of sensible decision making that there is almost no way to bring the snowball back to the top of the mountain. All you can do is try to slow it down.
I agree that the problem is a spending one however if there are no consequences to overspending and there is no mechanism to incentivize the reconciliation of the federal budget the problem will continue to be the driving issue.
Suzanne, don't you think the correct title for this article should have been "2 prominent economists say Obama tax cuts must go"?
It is time for the news media and liberals to understand and accept the fact that the Bush Tax Cut expired December 31, 2010. In December 2010 the Democratic controlled Senate and House past the "Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010" bill and forwarded it to the President. On December 17, 2010, President Obama signed this bill into law. When President Obama signed this bill into law he accepted ownership of the tax cut for the rich. However, he, his fellow Democrats and the liberal media continue to blame Bush.
Items 1, 3, and 4 in their program are all massive tax increases (#4, a VAT, is a plan to hide the tax so it can then be raised some more). Sucking trillions of dollars out of the economy is not a treatment that will cure the economy (any more than bleeding patients was a good medical therapy).
In addition, these three items violate their second item, as the taxes are a massive disincentive to work.
This isn't a recipe to balance the budget or cure the economy. In fact, it will only make the budget mess worse, as tax increases never bring in as much revenue as the taxers expect, and tax increases lead to even bigger increases in spending, making the deficit worse. The economists' proposal would have the USA following the lead of Greece.
The soluition is not diverting ever more of our economy into government, the solution must be reducing government spending (hopefully, that isn't politically impossible at this point).

Speaking from the Police Academy's C Deck, where recruits perform and practice formation tactics, Commissioner Bill Bratton said that moving forward there will be a new focus for part of training to become an NYPD officer: responding to fires.
"We have determined the department does not have and has not had any policy specific to this policy of going into buildings and utilization of elevators," Bratton said.
The need came to light after two officers were overcome with carbon monoxide and smoke inhalation while responding to a suspicious high rise fire in Coney Island this weekend. The NYPD said it has reached out to the FDNY to look at how to improve training.
Marcel Dockery, 16, has been charged in connection with the fire. He reportedly said he lit his mattress on fire because he was bored.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pedro Alvarez and Garrett Jones each homered and Francisco Liriano pitched six strong innings as the surging Pittsburgh Pirates won their eighth straight game, 2-1 over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night.
Alvarez hit his 20th home run with one out in the second inning to extend his hitting streak to 12 games and help the Pirates to its longest winning streak since 2004. Pittsburgh, which has endured 20 consecutive losing seasons, has the best record in the major leagues at 50-30.
Jones hit a drive to the shrubbery in straightaway center field, his seventh, to lead off the fourth inning and increase the Pirates' lead to 2-0.
That was enough for Liriano (7-3), who improved to 4-1 in five home starts this season.

'Fiscal cliff' deal restores mass-transit subsidy
Wednesday - 1/2/2013, 6:47pm EST
Federal-employee unions have reacted warily to the legislative deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff." While the deal extends tax cuts for middle-income employees the pressing issue of the automatic, across-the-board budget agency cuts, known as sequestration, was only delayed two months — not averted altogether.
But tucked in the last-minute deal was at least one piece of good news for federal employees.
The bill, which awaits President Barack Obama's signature, reinstates parity between the mass transit and parking benefits. The mass transit subsidy was reduced in 2011 to $125 even as a similar subsidy for parking benefits was increased to $240 a month.
Under the current bill, the mass-transit subsidy will be increased to $240 a month through 2013 and made retroactive to Jan. 1, 2012.
"I am pleased to see this very positive step," said National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley in a statement.
Kelley had been a particularly vocal proponent of restoring the subsidy, saying the planned reduction would affect thousands of federal employees — particularly in the Washington, D.C. Area — that rely public transportation to get to work.
Lawmakers introduced measures in both the House and the Senate to restore the full subsidy, and the Senate included it in its version of a massive bill to fund transportation projects. However, the provision was dropped during a conference committee, and a stand-alone measure in the House languished.
Sequester delayed for two months; pay freeze extension still possible
Senate passes highway bill, including 'phased retirements,' transit subsidy
Union renews call for extending mass-transit tax benefit
