Adaptive Algorithm for Detecting and Reducing Sibilants in Recorded Speech
Different concepts for reducing sibilants in recorded speech have been developed and have been successfully implemented as 'De-Esser' hardware. Most of them are working in the analog domain, only a few implementations using adaptive mechanisms. Therefore a digital algorithm is introduced which basically uses psychoacoustic and physical units to detect sibilancy and to adapt a time-variant bandpass filter to perform the de-esser operation.

News Corp (NWS, NWSA) and Disney (DIS) are reportedly in talks which may end with one buying the other's stake in Hulu. The discussions stem from Disney's preference for an advertising-focused business model vs. News Corp.'s desire to rely on subscriptions. Comcast (CMCSA) also owns about one-third of Hulu, but is barred from an operational role or voting its stake.

This is a staple shampoo in my bathroom and I nearly always have a back-up bottle in the cupboard. I like how clarifying it is and how clean it makes my hair feel. I use it at least once a week as part of my usual haircare regime, and it definitely helps to completely remove any product build-up. The scent is very inoffensive too which I find appealing.
As you'd expect from a 'naked' product, it has a light, fresh scent which does stay in my hair but isn't overpowering. It has 0% silicones, parabens and colourants too, which for a clarifying shampoo makes sense. I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for an effective clarifying shampoo that isn't going to strip your hair.

HOLY CRAP. This is one of the best shampoos I've tried!!! I was looking for a good clarifying shampoo, and the drugstore I went to only had the Alberto Vo5 available but I hated that one.
So I looked at this and noticed it was meant for shine and it has 0% silicones, so logically it works as a clarifying shampoo.
It smells very nice, just strong enough. The texture of the shampoo is REALLY weird, it's like if you were touching styling gel for men's hair. Seriously, however... it does lather very well, removes residue and leaves hair very clean!!!! The best part???? IT'S SO FREAKING SHINY AND SOFT I CAN'T STOP TOUCHING IT! I used it two times in a row. The first time I used it my hair felt immediately free of gunk yet very soft and I didn't need conditioner at all. The second time however, my hair felt too squeaky clean upon rinsing, so I used HE hello hydration conditioner afterwards and my hair looks and feels AMAZING!!!! So I will definitely be using this as a clarifying shampoo once in a while with no need of a hair mask!! <3
Lovely scent
Lathers really well
Removes build up
Cleans well
Leaves hair very soft and SHINY! (Best results if used along with your fave condish)
It can strip your hair if you use it everyday. That sucks since it makes my hair really shiny. But I'm happy :)
After trying my first HE product, honey Im strong shampoo which was plain HORRIBLE, I thought Id never purchase any HE product ever again. However, I've been head over heels with hello hydration conditioner, touchably smooth conditioner and this shampoo!!!

Background, I have fine, dry, color treated hair. I struggle to find the right shampoo and conditioner for my hair. Anything strong dries my hair out more than it already is and makes my hair a tangled, poufy, unbrushable mess. I tend to over moisturize which make my hair easy to manage but weighs it down and leads to frequent washing and build up. This product is just right for my hair, it cleans without feeling stripped. It also does not build up and weigh hair down. Just perfectly clean hair, and this is dirt cheap.

Not really impressed with this. I had to repeat which I hate to do, especially in the summer when I wash my hair more. It lathered well but my hair just didn't feel very clean. I recently tried Pantene's new Weekly Cleanse and that shampoo really makes my hair feel squeaky clean without stripping it. But I got this really cheap at CVS this week with the sale and $3 coupon so no big whoop.

I got this on sale at HEB along with the Naked Shine conditioner.
This did give my dry thick hair some shine-but I do have dry hair and it usually takes my hair three days before it even becomes somewhat oily.
With this Naked shine shampoo my hair only lasted clean atleast one day and by the second day my hair seemed really sweaty and oily.. :/
I will finish the bottle (and the conditioner is no good either) but I will not purchase this aweful product again.

I have oily hair and I find that most shampoos build up in my hair. I had been using Pantene Aqua Light 2 in 1 and that worked for about a year and a half or so but I had to start washing my hair twice to remove oils/products which was just annoying and time consuming (my hair is quite long as well). So I was looking for a daily cleansing shampoo and picked this up.
I started using it and was happy with the results the first time because it took out the build up and made my hair clean. That being said, this is not an everyday shampoo. I used it everyday and it stripped my hair to nothing. It was coarse/dry feeling even after using a deep conditioner and a leave in conditioner everyday. It also made my hair really hard to style. So I would use this for those of you who need to remove build up from time to time but not everyday. I think this would also work really well for those who are in competitive sports and have to plaster their hair down. This should take out all the gel/hair spray by the second time and quickly at that (been there, done that). So yes, this is a good product, just use sparingly and moisturize a lot afterwards.

This product line caught my attention as I am always trying to avoid build up and prolong my color. I bought the shampoo, conditioner and shine spray. The smell is light and pleasant and my hair feels good after washing and conditioning. I use the spray on my wet hair in combo with another styling product and I am pleased. I have only used it 3 times so no long term data here. It is certainly affordable.

Best of all its only $40. This figure is really quite impressive with amazing details that go from a flat tablet to a figure that is much beefier then one would expect. Hope there will be some available on Hasbro Toy Shop next week as this figure a must have for Soundwave fans. Read on to see the images in the gallery.

Google chief says M$ no competition
Software giant Microsoft has set out to topple search king Google, but to listen to Eric Schmidt you almost wouldn't think the two companies were rivals.
Google's chief executive, appearing in Seattle yesterday, acknowledged Microsoft's push into the search business but said there's ample room for multiple competitors to thrive. He also downplayed the notion of Google as a threat to the Redmond company's dominant software franchises.
"It looks to me like this space is so large that there will be multiple winners," Schmidt told the audience at the Technology Alliance annual luncheon in downtown Seattle. "There's plenty of room for all the players."
Asked to identify Google's primary competition, Schmidt pointed first to Yahoo! -- saying it has "emerged as the major, major competitor in this space." He then noted that Microsoft has also launched its own Internet search engine but observed that the Redmond company is "just getting going" in the business.
Later in the day, addressing University of Washington computer science students, Schmidt gave a similar response but went further -- saying that Microsoft is "not a significant competitor yet" in the search business.
"Although I'm sure they'll try," he added, drawing a round of knowing laughter from the crowd.
Some who listened to Schmidt yesterday said they weren't surprised to hear him downplay the notion of Microsoft as a major competitor.
Microsoft's executives, in contrast, seem to be very focused on Google.

Published: May 9, 1999
(Page 2 of 3)
Founded in 1920, this sober restaurant in downtown Bilbao is generally considered, at least by locals, the principal exponent of classic Basque cuisine -- the word ''temple'' is often heard. Its small dining room of six to eight tables lies behind closed doors at the end of a long bar-cum-bistro. Bright lighting and mustard-colored walls hung with important-looking cartoon drawings counter the sober tone created by heavy draperies. On a Monday evening the restaurant was almost empty. Our party consisted of, besides the two of us, two Italian architects and a Belgian Eurocrat we all wanted to impress. In this we were not aided by the five waitresses and one waiter, who all had an air of having something more important to do than describe the specialties of the house. Nevertheless, within the bounds of Guria's conservative cooking style, there is the potential of a memorable experience.
After the ordeal of ordering, a complimentary appetizer was served and promised well -- a taste of excellent roasted peppers and a little piece of baked cheese. The starter ''delicias de verduras,'' a plate of caulifower, zucchini, spinach, green beans, cardoons and potatoes with lots of oil and a central scallop of pink foie gras, a meal in itself, was impressive in a retro sort of way. As for the thin omelet filled with pisto (ratatouille), the Eurocrat approved without enthusiasm, although it looked pretty good to me.
The classic cods -- a la vizcaina and al pil-pil -- were perfectly cooked, but the green pil-pil sauce better enhanced the delicate taste of the fresh fish. Our Italian friends were thrilled with tail of hake (cola de merluza rellena) stuffed with shellfish and gently sauteed. Franco's green peppers stuffed with squid in a black, black ink sauce lacked balance -- the pepper overpowered the squid.
Assistance with the all-Spanish wine list was laconic (''dry'' and ''more dry''). Evidently if you spurn an honest Basque txakoli, you are on your own. We tried two whites, Vina Paceta 1996 Bodegas Bilbainas ($10.50), fresh and acidic but thin, and Vina Ardanza Reserva 1990 Rioja Alta ($12), too oaky and too old for our taste.
Unfortunately, a nice plate of Spanish and French cheeses was cold. But the flan (creme caramel) with white chocolate sauce flavored with orange peel was delicious; another appealing dessert was the espuma de chocolate con naranja confitada, a bowl of soft meringue with candied orange in the bottom and chocolate sauce on top.
One of Bilbao's most elegant and respected restaurants, also the possessor of a Michelin star, Zorziko strikes a balance between grandeur and formality on the one hand and cordial intimacy on the other. In other words, their dinner jackets did not prevent the staff from being pleasantly helpful. The armchairs in the dining room were no less comfortable because the light came from crystal chandeliers. And the illustrated menu was ebulliently designed on a personal computer. Uniquely, it made some effort to be descriptive.
The cooking style of the chef, Daniel Garcia, is conservatively creative, with local roots. Conservative describes the ensalada de txangurro appetizer, a mold of delicious shredded crabmeat on a bed of very thin spaghetti with a tasty pink dressing from the coral. Franco's magnificent starter was more creative -- flakes of fresh hake interspersed with pieces of tomato, avocado, peppers and chives, all molded into the same pillbox shape.
But that was the last hake we wanted to see on this trip. In any case, we could hardly refuse the pigeon, billed on the menu as the ''star'' of the kitchen, nor could we pass up a ''blue duck.'' Both birds, elegantly presented, had a sweet sauce based on red wine. The duck was sliced thicker and cooked longer than in the current underdone style. The star pigeon was a more elaborate production, with its thin-sliced breast fashionably rare and its liver and giblets served in a little patty.
To start we drank sparkling Raimat Chardonnay Cava by the glass -- and the glasses were generous trumpets hollow to the base so the wine never stopped bubbling. Our red, for the main course, was the exceptional Rioja Roda 1994 ($30), the best wine of our trip, chosen from an extensive list with the help of a sommelier (finally).
A tasting plate of desserts brought one wonderful surprise after another, including helado de Modena, a successful ice cream made with balsamic vinegar (think of it more as a cordial than a vinegar); a pastry cone filled with papaya cream; a crisp cooked slice of banana rolled around a dollop of mango cream; and best of all, a prune stuffed with fresh soft white cheese with a yogurt sauce.
Museo Guggenheim Bilbao
Enthusiasts of museum peripherals will be happy to know that the Guggenheim has an attractive shop and two places to eat. An elaborate bar offers coffee, drinks and pintxos -- a more elaborate, Basque version of tapas -- from morning till evening and, at lunch time, has a limited fixed-price menu.
Through the bar area is the restaurant proper, built on several levels for an effect of many small dining areas in one large high-ceilinged space. Like the museum as a whole, it is very beautiful, with warm lighting, bright red cushions on the wooden chairs (designed by Frank Gehry, the museum's architect), bold textile wall hangings and abstract metal table sculptures. When I went for a late lunch on a rainy weekday it was a hive of activity, but less organized than a beehive. The attractive young waiters and waitresses had more good will than language skills. In a calmer moment it might have been possible to try some of the several tasting menus offered. Wines are available by the glass (I had white Bodega Campillo 1995 for $1.90).

I really like this system. Easy to use. Bought a more powerfull system (Sharp) way too complicated to use. Remote is very usefull. You do not have to have the manual in one hand to operate this system. Lots of power with only 100w. Plenty of base. Sounds better than my Bose clock radio. MP3 skips over tracks but it may be the way I am recording the CD's?
Hey all,
Was one of the few shelf systems found with 5 disc changer. Easy set up. Really good sound for small system. Rock on!!
I purchased this system for my classroom, and I frequently had problems with it - switching discs for no reason, and more importantly, it refuses to read many CD-R discs. My parents bought the same one as well, and had the same problems. We both returned ours. My new school has another RCA CD-5 Disc Player that does the same thing, and it won't turn on unless you unplug it every time. Save your money and invest in something better.
My 13 year old saved his money and bought one because of features and sound quality. After a few months , it would play through only one channel. It cost another $40.00 to send it back to Texas for an exchange under the RCA Warranty Exchange Program. We now have over $130.00 invested in what should have been a $90.00 system. Save the aggravation and buy a better brand. I wish I had checked the reviews before purchasing with him
I would not recommend this to anyone. Sometimes the stero will not turn on by the power button. You have to unplug the system in order for it to work. There are times when both of my speakers do not work. The system has been HORRIBLE since I've had it. To me, this system is only worth $1.00. I would highly recommend that no one by this. It is a waste of time and money.
We bought this stereo for a second home used it three times and had minor issues with it turning on and doing what you wanted it to do. The main problem however is that it will not play CD,s without skipping thru them. The company policy for this problem is to pack it up and ship it back for repair, well with shipping cost these days. Buy another brand
5 days after we bought this stereo it began to skip over the cd and was unable to read cd's. I cleaned the system and it continued to skip. We had bought two of these at the same time and they both have the same issue. I will be returning this product. I assume the stereo is poorly made from RCA.
cd changer is very touchy and apparently easily damaged--I would not recommend this system to ANYONE!


text: Does anyone know if you can still get an instant commitment if your team is the recruit's #1 in the first week of recruiting? I always play as Texas and I could usually fill my team needs on week 1 with this. I tried about 20 times with a created recruit who had me as #1 and I couldn't get him to commit. I don't want to waste time reloading and offering scholarships if it's no longer available.

Sorry to add a frustrated complaint as my very first post.
I'm just getting into WordPress and trying to read through the Docs section. But I have to say it's a nightmare to navigate through. I'd like to be able to read through the Docs in a linear fashion and know that I've got "X" amount of pages to go. But every page you open has 50 links to other pages. If you start to follow these links, you just end up spinning in circles and don't end up finishing anything. Personally I think there's too many unneccessary internal links.
To give an example. I go to the 'Docs' page, it's a massive page of links, but that's okay, something you'd expect on the index. I click on "Getting Started with WordPress". Okay another massive page of links, now I'm starting to get overwhelmed and lost and wonderring what's the difference between these two massive pages of links. Are they linking to the same pages but in a diferent order or diferent pages on the same topic? I click on "New To WordPress - Where to Start". Then straight away we've got an unnecessary link to WordPress in the first parragraph (why would I want to click on this, I'm already at the WordPress site??) but the rest of the page is yet another massive page of links.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have one single solitary place where we could get an overview of the Docs section and not duplicate this needlessly.
Apologies for the frustrated tone of this post. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the Docs in a PDF format?

I've used a few plugins for WP - including Cubepoints (for XP) and Achievements (Gold). Not being a gamer myself, I've now found I have a problem. Students can collect gold along the way, but what can they "spend" it on?
I'm a WP noob - I have looked for plugins that may allow features in themes to be unlocked - but short of that, I've come up dry. Any suggestions on how best to incorporate the features of the Achievements module???

Readers' choices for top ten speed traps in Denver metro
Earlier this week, we posted about the top ten speed traps in Denver, as compiled from 2013 posts on the Speedtrap.org website. Then, when we shared the list on the Westword Facebook page, we asked if there were any speed traps we'd missed -- and as always, our readers came through in a big way.
Here are ten more speed traps that were somehow overlooked, as selected by all of you, complete with Google maps from near the location and posted comments. Check them out below.
Number 10: 44th and Sheridan
View Larger Map
"They completely left out the Lakeside speed traps on both 44th between Sheridan and Harlan, and the one along Sheridan, between 43rd and I-70. I suppose they need to make their salaries somehow."

"This card came out beautifully. I was able to use the portions of the photos that I wanted as well as enhance several smaller photos to make a bolder statement. The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."
"I know I rely on Tinyprints to deliver a quality product on time that is also beautiful. I love that I can edit so much of the card unlike other companies."
"I loved the way the picture took up the whole card with cheerful overprinting of text. In combination with the animated expressions on my grandsons' faces, the text gave the perfect enthusiastic greeting."
"I ran out of time to get a Christmas card put together, but I knew I wanted to send a New Year's card in its place. Found the perfect card with just the right printed text and it was great to have lots of options on adding photos. Icing on the cake was how quickly the order arrived.....much faster than I thought. Thank you, Tiny Prints!!"
"As usual with Tinyprints, the quality of this card is exceptional. I was extremely happy with it and the turn around time was unbelievable. I ordered on a Sunday and it was on my doorstep on Tuesday. I ordered the blue version with the traditional rectangle shape and the solid blue back with three captioned pics. It looks fantastic! Almost too good to be true for the price, but that's why I love this company and order from them regularly. Also, I can't say enough about the customer service at Tinyprints. From my experience, It is one of the best companies for putting the customer first and making sure you are satisfied. I have been a customers for years and anytime I have had a problem with a finished product, the issue is resolved and a replacement immediately sent. And...they don't send my call out of the country and keep me on the phone for hours haggling over it. They are courteous, professional and efficient."

Stocks Hold on to Close Higher
Stocks rose after firm readings from the labor market and retail sales, but gave up gains late in the session after a report of a pipeline explosion in Saudi Arabia.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 28.23 points, or 0.2%, to 12980.30. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 8.41 points, or 0.6%, to 1374.09, and the Nasdaq Composite added 22.08 points, or 0.7%, to 2988.97.
Stocks coasted in positive territory for most of Thursday, but the Dow briefly turned negative late, after Tehran-based PressTV reported an explosion destroyed pipelines in the Saudi city of Awamiyah. Saudi oil officials said reports of the attack were untrue, and stocks bounced back to finish higher. Oil prices jumped in after-hours trading, but fell back afterward.
"In the immediate term, oil spikes can negatively impact the market, but they're transitory by nature," said Etai Friedman, head of equity derivatives trading at MKM Partners. "Rising oil prices, while not a positive, is just not enough to bring the market down."
Financials and materials were the best-performing sectors in the S&P 500. Among blue chips, J.P. Morgan Chase JPM 0.31 % added $1.13%, or 2.9%, to $40.37. Bank of America BAC 0.69 % rose 15 cents, or 1.9%, to 8.12 after The Wall Street Journal reported the bank is working on changes that would require many users of basic checking accounts to pay a monthly fees.
In the labor market, data showed claims for initial jobless benefits fell slightly in the latest week; economists had expected a slight gain. The four-week moving average of claims fell to its lowest level in nearly four years, a sign that employers are slowing the pace of layoffs.
The Dow was up 80 points before pulling back after the Institute for Supply Management's purchasing manager index fell last month. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected the February reading to increase. Elsewhere, spending on construction projects in the U.S. fell in January for the first time in half a year, an indication that the market for builders remains shaky.
Ford Motor F -0.14 % rose 28 cents, 2.3%, to 12.66, and General Motors GM -0.40 % gained 45 cents, or 1.7%, to 26.47, after the U.S. auto industry reported a second straight month of robust sales. Chrysler Group, which is majority-owned by Italy's Fiat, led the way, reporting a 40% increase for February.
In corporate news, retailers reported February same-store sales that were generally better than expected. Gap GPS -0.70 % surged 1.69, or 7.2%, 25.05, the S&P 500's biggest advance on a percentage basis, after it reported February same-store sales growth of 4%.
In Europe, markets were broadly higher. The Stoxx Europe 600 gained 1%, its biggest gain in nearly a month, after the European Central Bank's allocation of more than a half-trillion euros in cheap three-year funds on Wednesday continued to buoy sentiment. Additional liquidity helped Spain auction its government bonds on Thursday, and the yield on two-year Italian bonds fell to its lowest level since October 2010.
Asian bourses were mostly lower, with China's Shanghai Composite slipping 0.1% following mixed readings on manufacturing activity. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average eased 0.2%.
Gold futures edged up 0.7% to $1721.10 a troy ounce. Crude-oil prices rose 1.7% to settle at $108.84 a barrel, but rose above $110 after the pipeline report. The dollar rose against the euro and but edged lower versus the yen. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.035%.
Other retail stocks got a lift from strong sales reports. The Buckle rallied 3.09, or 6.9%, to 48.01, after reporting same-store sales growth of 15%, topping estimates of 5.8%. Zumiez ZUMZ 2.24 % rose 1.39, or 4.4%, to 32.81, after reporting a 23% jump in February sales from the year earlier.
Sotheby's fourth-quarter profit slumped 26% as the auctioneer generated less revenue and reported a narrower margin from commissions. Shares dropped 3.59, or 9.1%, to 35.75.
Kroger FNSR -1.31 % appears to be winning customers from its rival grocery store chains, as the company saw a strong fourth quarter and offered an upbeat outlook for the current year, despite economic headwinds. Shares rose 65 cents, or 2.7%, to 24.44.
Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings CCO 1.60 % climbed 1, or 7.6%, to 14.23, after the outdoor advertising company declared a special dividend of $6.08 a share on its Class A and Class B stock, to be paid March 15 to shareholders of record on March 12.

text: 2. International Shipholding ( ISH) provides marine transport services to commercial and government customers. Dry-bulk shippers, such as Navios Maritime ( NMM) and DryShips ( DRYS), are comparable investments with worse merits. International Shipholding is TheStreet.com's top-ranked marine company due to its recent stock performance and record of consistent earnings growth. Over the past three years, International Shipholding has more than doubled profit annually, on average. The shares have fallen 22% over the past month, presenting contrarians with a buying opportunity. Third-quarter net income stalled at $11 million, but earnings per share climbed marginally to $1.55. The company's net margin narrowed from 13% to 12% as growth in voyage expenses exceeded a 9% sales increase. Such deterioration is worrisome. Still, similarly sized marine rival Danaos ( DAC) recorded a 41% profit drop, and Safe Bulkers ( SB) notched a 43% decrease. All things considered, International Shipholding is faring well. Its 0.7 debt-to-equity ratio is less than the industry average, indicating conservative leverage. At its current share price, the stock yields 7%, with a payout ratio of 40%. The stock is cheaper than that of the average marine company, based on all of our valuation measures. The shares trade below book value per share, even though the quarterly return on equity tagged 16%, beating the industry average and the S&P 500 Index. The PEG ratio, at 0.2, compares favorably to the marine industry average of 4.1. Shipping stocks are cyclically sensitive, but International Shipholding has a beta of 0.4, noticeably lower than those of competitors. Prev 1 of 3 Next

My youngest son loves pumpkin pie. I usually make a couple each Thanksgiving. I'm not a piecrust master and didn't have any packaged ones. So I decided to do this instead. It was a very big hit with everyone. Just a little too sweet for my taste, I'll reduce the sugar next time and maybe experiment with some toasted nuts sprinkled over servings for a little more texture. Paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this was The Bomb!
Made this to take to a family Christmas dinner. Got lots of approval and several requests for the recipe. I did substitute 1/4 tsp cloves for the nutmeg. (Not a fan of nutmeg), and I added 1 cup of chopped pecans to the top of cake before baking. Baked the cake for 55 minutes, because the center still looked a little runny after 45 minutes. Served the cake while still a little warm and topped with whip cream. Sensational! Thanks for sharing!
This dump cake is a little more work than the standard dump cake recipe, but it's worth it. It would be a hard recipe to mess up. No need to measure everything exactly. Like me, you can use regular milk if you don't have evaporated milk on hand (or you can find a recipe for evaporated milk on zaar, but it's more work than it's worth). It'd be good with some granola or something crunchy on the top for texture.

This is a thread started on another forum and carried on to yet ANOTHER forum (where I got it). It deals with a LEO training event recently that was extremely disturbing to the officer posting the thread. Read it and I think you'll see why and agree.

AR15.com ^ | Sep 25, 2009 | An Ohio State LEO
Posted on September 27, 2009
This is my first post. I have been lurking, reading and learning for about 2 years. I hope there are many others like me. Thank you all for the wit and wisdom you have imparted. You are a great asset to this Nation. Now onto my post...
So here's what got me thinking. I'm in State law enforcement in Ohio. I was at one of our annual 2 day training events. We were in a classroom session on Domestic terrorism. The speaker was our agencies liaison with the FBI on the Joint Terrorism Task Force that was set up after 9/11. They broke it into two categories; home grown terrorists influenced by Al Qaeda and the like; and everybody else. So in the first category was some of the post 9/11 arrestees from Ohio like Christopher Paul and Imam Fawaz Damra, and then the second group included all white supremest groups, militia groups, people with anti-government sentiment, and anyone else who was overly religious. This part was nothing new to me, they have gone over this a few years prior.
Then came the trouble...The instructor started talking about indicators which could be used to warn us of these peoples presence. Most made sense, like if the guy has a swastika on his forehead. Some others covered more discreet body markings. I didn't have any problem with this, but then he shows us a slide of some bumper stickers. One says, "The UN is not our friend!" and the second says, "Exercise your rights, or you'll lose them." He goes on to say that these are good indicators that the person in this car is anti-government and probably violent.
Now, I'm not one to let this slip by unchallenged. So I raise my hand and say, " Are you saying that these are possible indicators or probable indicators. He says, "probable." I take issue with this, "I say." "First, if you know anything about the UN, they aren't our friend. They also aren't our government, so I hardly see how that would make this person anti-government. And the second statement seems fairly innocuous. I would think that both the extreme left and the extreme right would say that a right not exercised is easily lost. So I would agree with both of those statements and I hardly think that makes me a threat." He looks right at me and says half jokingly, "maybe we should add you to our list." There was a bit of an awkward silence as we stared at each other. Then he just moved on.
Later he showed more stickers that said things like, "I believe in the Bible", and abortion is wrong" At one point he showed a picture of some sort of Aryan Nation marking and said to me, "do you have one of these?" I was fuming.
At a later break I consulted some of the other guys, of which there were about 50. Some said they thought the guy was way out of line and some others said they thought I should have just let it go. Everyone seemed to agree he was serious. I later made the point to him that by his measure our forefathers would be suspect. I guess at that point it struck me. This guy draws no distinction between the person who blows himself up for Allah, and the guy who doesn't like big government. Since he was trained by the Feds, I must assume they feel the same.
It seems like most of the discussion and preparation here revolves around some degree or another of SHTF. I feel like that is well covered and thought out. I don't want to debate about the likeliness of one scenario or another, instead I would relish your thoughts on the scenario that concerns me the most, and which I think is the more difficult one to prepare for. You are suddenly that domestic terrorist, not because you have committed terrorist acts, but because of what you believe. They are coming for you. Now survive.
You can imagine what's stacked against you. You have to survive long enough to turn public sentiment in your favor. Not unlike our forefathers and ultimately you must save your country.
Here is what I think you have going for you. The Feds simply don't have enough resources, but could remedy that with foreign help. They rely heavily on local law enforcement which at least in my area will give them little support. State law enforcement is about half and half IMO.
Sorry for such a meaty first post. I greatly respect your opinions.

ExSoldier's Final Note: Anybody who has ever read the trilogy by my friend Matt Bracken (Enemies Foreign and Domestic Web Site) will recognize a very frightening parallel here and that trilogy was fiction! I among others are mentioned in the acknowledgements of those three books. Matt Bracken used to joke that now I'd joined him on the DHS "ENEMIES LIST!" LOL I no longer think it's very much of a joke, but I'm proud to be there if my meager contributions to those three books are what lands me on that list! MOLON LABE.

I say the OP has met the enemy.
Sounds like yet another contrived rant, with all the credibility of a chain letter. Since no source or verifiable info is given, its authenticity is highly unlikely. This kind of thing is posted all the time, in everything from social networking sites to other bulletin boards and forums. Sounds a lot like Bircher literature.
"We're paratroopers. We're supposed to be surrounded!" Dick Winters
I say that is about right.. Nothing new in that post at all.. We have known this for a long time, but it has become more public in the last year... I'm sure most of us on this forum would be considered a terrorist,.. Sad,.. We love our country more them most,.. there-in lyes the problem... Those that would stand up and fight for the freedom that our forefathers fought for is a threat to those that want to make slaves out of people,... NOT ON MY WATCH!!!
Well y'all might be right EXCEPT for two verifiable and separate incidents:
#1 a few weeks ago a motorist in LOUISIANA was pulled over and detained for 30 minutes based on NOTHING else besides his bumper sticker: DON'T TREAD ON ME Subsequently it was discovered that an official memo had been circulated to all LEO agencies nationwide by another STATE agency but at the behest of the Director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.
#2 You knock the John Birch Society but when the USSR's KGB files were opened in the 1990s, those files totally verified the extent of the communist infiltration into our societal infrastructure. Especially in HOLLYWOOD so it looks as if that nutty old drunk Joe McCarthy was spot on correct. When I was on active duty I once asked the G2 of the 9th Infantry Division if being a member of the John Birch Society could be cause for me to lose my TS SBI (Top Secret Special Background Investigation) security clearance? Know what he said? Heck NO! The John Birch Society specifically requested a full on US Senate Investigation of themselves when they first got started back in the 1950s. They came out squeaky clean then and have in every other Congressional investigation since. The Congress finally learned that they themselves have a lot more to hide than the Birchers and so they quit that line of attack on a hated enemy. Now it's always easier to ridicule and marginalize. Until verification pops up.... and it always does....

I don't even see this at the largest LEO forum, Officer.com
Police Forums & Law Enforcement Forums @ Officer.com - Powered by vBulletin
And I never saw some memo like that at any roll call or during the academy. We had our JTF liason FBI agent teach our class in the academy and there was no mention at all about this.
Seems like more paranoid stuff to me.
If it wasn't all hearsay, Ex, I'd put more credence in it. But it's always the nebulous third-party source we hear about, and there's no fact-checking possible.
But, on the other hand, you may be right, and law enforcement officials are doing more profiling for fanatics. After all, it's the religious nutcases who in almost every instance make up the ranks of the terrorists (domestic and otherwise), so it's probably wise to be wary of them. Especially those who have been advocating violent overthrow of our Constitutional republic, and are just waiting for the voice of god to stir them to action.
I do take great exception to TucAzRider's comment that most of us on this forum would be considered terrorists. I think the vast majority of the people who participate here are pretty solid citizens. Personally, I've held high-level clearances and had my background checked plenty of times. Not to say that it's not possible that there are a few wackos amongst us.
As you've pointed out plenty of times, though, Ex, there are those right here in our own nation who, through the fervor of their delusions, and egged on by the rantings of charismatic leaders, are all too likely to snap and do us harm.
We would be wise to be vigilant and prepared should such dire circumstances arise.
"We're paratroopers. We're supposed to be surrounded!" Dick Winters
rodc13: The LEO stop in Louisiana did happen and it was verified. The memo contents were retracted by Napolitano within 48 hours so THAT was verified at the source.
I think that TucAZRider's comment is spot on: Many of us are or will be considered potential terrorists for our belief in the supremacy of the US Constitution as typified by a strong belief that the 2nd Amendment is an individual as opposed to a collective right pushed by many in government and in the law enforcement communities, as well as higher level academic circles.
Profile criteria (see how many apply to you or your friends): Former or current military? Combat Arms? Number of Form 4473s completed within the past five years? 2nd Amendment activist (frequent letter writer to Congress and or local paper editorials), CCW permit status? Past status? Permits in multiple states?Affiliations: NRA (Life Member or Certified Instructor?), CCRKBA, GOA, JPFO, SAF etc., Subscriptions: Gun magazines, group memberships: USPSA, IDPA, IPSC; active competitor? Safety Officer Status? Political affiliations? Religious habits? Steady church goer? Bible Study participant? Sunday School? Political affiliations of the Pastor? (Bet they caught on to this one after Jeremiah Wright). The list can go on and on. I'll bet if you run that by DHS they'll affirm. And then they may add YOU to their lists if you're not already there. Old joke from the 1970s: If you submit a FOIA request for your FBI file, they'll tell you you don't have one then they'll START one on you!

From the Horses Mouth:
Transcription of the Video: Interview with Yuri Bezmenov (ex-KGB)
Weeks ago I published a video (here the full video, and here some excerpts) of a former KGB propagandist called Yuri Bezmenov with an interview he gave to Edward Griffin on Soviet Disinformation in 1983.
Edward Griffin is the author of The Creature From Jekyll Island, an in depth analysis of the Federal Reserve. If you want to understand the depth of this socioeconomic crisis and the overall agenda into which it all fits, you MUST read this extremely readable book.
Now I found a semi full transcription of the video.
ED: Well, you spoke before about ideological subversion and thats a phrase that Im afraid some Americans dont understand. When the Soviets use the phrase ideological subversion what do they mean by it?
YURI: Ideological subversion is the process which is legitimate and open. You can see it with your own eyes. All American mass media has to do is unplug their bananas from their ears, open up their eyes, and they can see it. It has nothing to do with espionage. I know that intelligence gathering looks more romantic. It sells more deodorants through advertising. That's probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films. But in reality the main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. The first stage being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism. The result? The result you can see -- most of the people who graduated in the 60's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.
In other words [for] these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To rid society of these people you need another 15 or 20 years to educate a new generation of patriotically minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society.
ED: And yet these people who have been programmed and as you say [are] in place and who are favorable to an opening with the Soviet concept - these are the very people who would be marked for extermination in this country?
YURI: Most of them, yes. Simply because the psychological shock when they will see in [the] future what the beautiful society of EQUALITY and social justice means in practice, obviously they will revolt. They will be very unhappy [and] frustrated people, and Marxist-Leninist regime does not tolerate these people. Obviously they will join the [ranks] of dissenters; dissidents. Unlike the present United States there will be no place for dissent in future Marxist-Leninist America. [Now] you can get popular like Daniel Elsburg and filthy rich like Jane Fonda for being a dissident [and] for criticizing your Pentagon. In [the] future these people will simply be [he makes a squishy noise] squashed like cockroaches for criticizing the government. Nobody is going to pay them nothing for their beautiful [and] noble ideas of EQUALITY. This they don't understand and it will be the greatest shock for them, of course.
The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe it until he's going to receive a kick in his fat bottom. When a military [or Joint Terrorism Task Force] boot crashes his balls, then he will understand, but not before that. That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.
The next stage is destabilization.... It only takes 2 to 5 years to destabilize a nation. This time what matters is essentials; economy, foreign relations, [and] defense systems. And you can see it quite clearly that in some... sensitive areas such as defense and [the] economy, the influence of Marxist-Leninist ideas in the United States is absolutely fantastic. I could never believe it 14 years ago when I landed in this part of the world that the process will go that fast.
Most of the American politicians, media, and educational system train another generation of people who think they are living at the peacetime. False. United States is in a state of war; undeclared, total war against the basic principles and foundations of this system. And the initiator of this war is not Comrade Andropov of course - it's the system. However, ridiculous it may sound, [it is] the world Communist system, or the world Communist conspiracy. Whether I scare some people or not, I don't give a hoot. If you're not scared by now, nothing can scare you.
ED: Okay, so what do we do? What is your recommendation to the American people?
YURI: Well, the immediate thing that comes to mind is, of course, there must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of REAL patriotism, number one. Number two, to explain [to] them the real danger of socialist, communist, welfare state, Big Brother government.... The moment at least part of [the] United States population is convinced that the danger is real, they have to FORCE their government, and I'm not talking about sending letters, signing petitions, and all this beautiful, noble activity, I'm talking about FORCING [the] United States government to stop aiding Communism....and it is very easy to do; no credits, no technology, no money, no political or diplomatic recognition...

No surprise. The enemy is here. Be ready.
During the campaign he said "If you want to know where I stand look at the people that I associate with" then he went on to list well thought of people.
Now that he is in power look at the people he associates and selects for top government posts, avowed communists and far left wing extremists.
I guess DHS can add me to the list again

When the calligrapher finishes creating your artwork, it is taken to my art mounting workshop in Beijing where a wall scroll is made by hand from a combination of silk, rice paper, and wood.
After we create your wall scroll, it takes at least two weeks for air mail delivery from Beijing to you.
Allow a few weeks for delivery. Rush service speeds it up a week or two for $10!
When you select your calligraphy, you'll be taken to another page where you can choose various custom options.
The wall scroll that Sandy is holding in this picture is a "large size"

We also offer custom wall scrolls in small, medium, and an even-larger jumbo size.
Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.
There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.
Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.
The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.

Never have tried to fill one of these out. I mean nobody really knows me.
I guess I am a guy who spends a large amount of time computing. I was around when the computers first were connected to a local network and then the internet. It was interesting as networking computers were looked at has a sort of artificial intelligence and that intelligence inheriting human malevolence, challenging "real" intelligence. As an Agriculture Science student then this this was a head-on collision. There are a lot of religion and fear of the occult in Agriculture, even more that in Archaeology because those farmers have beliefs outside of which end of a plow is connected to their tractor and if those beliefs are planted when fertile, and cultivated, this affects the worlds food supply. Its a lot like an Unexplained Fertility if the light of science doesn't view it as worthy of observance. So I have a little investment in the subject of computing. It needs observance of rules and not laws, and this view jives with both science and the unexplained. See Human Response.(psychology, physiology)

You can use pretty much any type and any number of bulbs you want as long as you ensure that they're adequately powered. There are a few ways to do it. I think the easiest way with the Stratos would be to make up a parallel harness that goes between the battery and the ESC and have your LEDs wired to that so they're powered directly off the battery. Since the Stratos has a 2S lipo, you'd be best off running parallel sets of two 3V bulbs in series with a resistor to cut the voltage down a little so you don't cook them. I've run a lot of single 3V-rated LEDs directly off 1S lipos and they've worked fine, but LEDs will vary so it's probably best to run an inline resistor to be sure they're not being stressed too much.
Their brightness would fluctuate slightly with changes in throttle position (due to pack voltage sag), so if that's not something you want then you could also run them off a BEC unit wired in parallel with the ESC. This would strip the voltage down to about 5V, which would be easy enough to get to ~3-3.5V for the LEDs with resistors.
Sounds like you have a good understanding of power lights. I purchased a kit from headsuprc.com and planned on installing in my sons Dynam C-47 that has twin 30A ESC's. They suggested I buy a T-Plug to eliminate splicing, then connect a UBEC to that. From the UBEC I'm to connect the LED control that will in turn connect to an open channel on the receiver so I can actuate the lights from the TX. All sounds great, but looking at it further, the output wires on the UBEC have a receiver plug on it but there is nowhere to plug it into the LED control. So I was wondering, can I connect the LED control and the UBEC with a Y Harness and plug it into an open channel on the receiver? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you......Doug
P.S. He also has the Dynam SR22 that currently has a 30A ESC in it. If I upgrade to a 45A ESC, could I eliminate all of the above hassel and just plug the LED control into an open channel on the receiver? Thanks again.
