Beater Bike Re-Review
A little while back I went to Resistor Gallery to check out the Beater Bikes with a friend of mine. I liked the bike's ruggedness and simplicity which would be ideal for city commuting. A few months ago, my dad stumbled upon my review and decided to buy a Beater Bike which he has yet to actually use, during that time I took it upon myself to use it as my commuter bike and get some mileage into it.
Ditching my track bike with its aerodynamic positioning and the need for speed for an upright bike that favours comfort and style was definitely a weird shift that took me some time to get used to. Once I did get used to the bike I really began to appreciate the upright position during my 14km commute and the 6-gears were a relief during my climb up the Bathurst St. hill between Dupont Ave and St. Clair Ave W.
The Beater Bike on a grocery run
On the second day of commuting with the Beater Bike I dropped it on the drive side (right side) bending the derailleur hanger out of place. Fortunately, the steel was soft and durable enough to be bent back into place and was able to bend it and go on with my day. I have so far put nearly 400km on it and have commuted in both fair and rainy weather, though it has kept up all this time there have been a number of things about the bike that bugged me.
The Beater Bike fork has a 1 1/4" threaded steerer which is a really odd size considering the industry standard is either 1" or 1 1/8". That means finding a replacement fork or stem would be close to impossible since you won't find any 1 1/4" components. The seatpost is also a weird size at 25.4mm compared to modern steel bikes which used 27.2mm. All of this odd sizing makes customizing the bike (such as a longer or taller stem) to fit the rider much harder.
Another big issue for me was the actual assembly of the bike. During the first few rides I noticed several small noises coming from the bike and I would often have to pull over to tighten different nuts and bolts that were obviously not tightened enough. Everything from the handlebar clamp bolt on the stem to the rack and fender bolts came loose in the first few days of riding. I even had to repack the bottom bracket as it came loose on one ride. Though these were quick fixes for me I know that commuters who don't have the special tools or the know how to do it would be stuck with having to take the bike into a shop to do it which would cost money and time.
The cup-and-cone bottom bracket
The Beater Bike is still a nice bike for the money in comparison to what department stores have to offer in the same price range. I know they are in the process of designing a new model of Beater Bikes and I hope that in the future they look at standardizing the specs on their parts and take the time to properly assemble everything.

It is amazing how a company can spend so much time, money, and effort in marketing their new upcoming products with seemingly good results just to royally shoot themselves in the foot shortly before launch. Many manufacturers have done this before, including Sony, Motorola, and even Samsung where the devices they put out are so far beyond locked that some of them are still locked even after being released for well over a year. We have always thought that HTC was that shinning beacon of light that everyone could set sail to when the other "evil" companies locked their products so that we couldn't tinker with them any longer. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case because as many of you have heard, HTC announced that the bootloaders for the new upcoming devices, which sport Sense 3.0 among many other goodies will be so locked down that it will leave most hackers world wide scratching their heads in disbelief and dismay. To be more precise, the upcoming series of devices will have such things as hardware NAND locks, kernel locks, and signed/crypted radio and bootloader (thanks pulser_g2). Judging from this, it is probably safe to say that the amount of work that HTC has put into these locks is probably the reason why the devices were not released earlier.
HTC seems to be going after the mobile market they once dominated with an incredible amount of lag. Think about the following examples:
It doesn't end there. Their biggest lag is the fact that now they have decided to do what Sony, Motorola, and Samsung did when they got into this market. Lock the living day lights out of them, and for what? This is a question that I still need to see an answer to, and please spare me the "it is a security concern" story. Not a single person in this gigantic forum of ours has ever complained of being victimized by ID theft or any kind of personal misfortune because of running a custom rom. So, if HTC market analysts and developers are indeed looking at how the competition is structuring their business, they should realize that even Sony, which is widely known for their huge attempts and efforts at locking everything they make, has even begun looking into "developer friendly" (read unlocked) devices.
Earlier today, HTC made a statement in their Facebook page saying that they would look into re-evaluating their policy on locked devices. The more exact wording was their policy on bootloaders, so what about the rest of the stuff that will be locked beyond reach? No statement about that. Thought so… After having used HTC devices for almost 10 years, I can personally tell you that this statement from today will mean absolutely nothing as they will likely not re-engineer their stuff for a while, and will likely claim that because it is a security concern, that they have decided to leave them as such.
Well, HTC… aside from catering to regular end users, by pulling this, you likely just discouraged about 90% of the faithful devs working with your devices. Congratulations! Hopefully, someone in your upper management will read this, along with all the other bad rep you just accumulated across the internet and realize that maybe you shouldn't lock us out.

If you like trains, now would be a good time to speak up about it. Money for Amtrak and for proposed high speed passenger trains is on the budget block, awaiting the guillotine of lawmakers in Washington who want to cut funds for all sorts of programs that could improve our lives, green our transportation and keep America working and moving toward the future.
Yes, the country is in tight straits. People are out of work. We have a budget deficit. But we have to push on. When we have before, well, we've gone to the moon. We've turned the tide in world wars. Should getting to St. Louis be that difficult?

A new development in the tale of a couple stopped for driving through Indiana with five of their children in the back of a box truck.
They've been offered a plea deal of one count of neglect.
Indiana State Police say David and Rebecca Detjen were pulled over in Henry County.
In November, after police discovered the children and 18 cats in the back of the truck in near freezing conditions, the Pennsylvania couple told police they were moving to California to start a new life.

We've only got Kendall for a few more days before he ditches us at Vermont Woods Studios and goes back to college after a nice long winter break. That's pretty sad because he's been cranking out the website work these last few weeks– stuff that none of the rest of us (except Manjula, of course) know how to do.
Anyway, Kendall's becoming a Facebook genie and he's set up a "Staff Picks" tab. This week he's featuring Shannon's favorite furniture, the Modern American Dining Set. It's a beautiful solid cherry table and benches– very simple but very elegant too.
Here it is all dressed up by our favorite set designer, Erica Ell. If you love it as much as Shannon does, fan us on Facebook and get an extra 5% off.

Not just your average Adult Store – I have to admit, I have seen quite a few stores in my days but Excitement Video surly stands amongst the best. From the time you walk in, you are greated by very friendly associates. The team will allow you to browse without coming up and begging to help you. I really appreciate this approach because it allows for a more relaxed customer experience.
Excitement Video has a wide variety of adult toys, games, and Lubes. They have a cery wide selection of Magazines, more straight than gay though. There are so many movies to choose from, you are bound to find something that suits your taste. Almost all movies are for rent or for sale.
Signing up to rent movies was quick and painless. The rental rates were quite reasonable, I was impressed.
If I had one complaint, it would be the stores lack of gay movies. I had asked the associate at the desk about this and he told me that his store had a smaller selection; however, if I were to go to the Harrisburg location, I would be quite impressed.
If you are interested in grabbing a movie for a late night hookup or some special time with the gal or gent in your life, I would highly recommend Excitement Video.

We eat at Fins weekly and enjoy the service and the food. It would be nice if they would expand their menu to include a half sandwich with a cup of chowder. We especially enjoy the friendliness of the waitresses that make the atmosphere hospitable.
We definitely recommend this restaurant for its quality and great service.
The Best Fish'n Chips – I hink Fins has some of the best fish'n chips in Sacramento. The place is pricey but the fish is flown in from Alaska everyday. You pay for the quality. If people are concerned about price and not the way it tastes then I suggest that you go to Tugboat for mystery fish. Try Fins!!
I have had better seafood in Livingston, CA – This really ought to be a .15 star. Had the fish tacos which were the worst I have had in my life. Soggy, overcooked mystery fish topped with runny coleslaw. Simply inedible. The staff was unconcerned and the food is overpriced. Save your money for that great seafood in the city!
Great Fish – I'll agree with some other reviewers that the decor isn't that snazzy and the service is alright but probably not great. But what makes this restaurant great is the quality and the selection of fish. It's simply seasoned and grilled, served with some lemon and tartar sauce. There's no fancy sauces or elaborate side dishes to bury the flavor of the fish.
Most fish places around here offer the same few types of fish (salmon, halibut, tilapia, etc.). Fins has a much larger selection, including a lot of types I haven't seen anywhere else in this area (The Opah, Opakapaka, and Escolar caught my attention).
I guess it comes down to what you're looking for. If you're looking for a cheap dinner, a romantic atmosphere, or elaborately presented meals, then Fins might not be for you. But if you just want really good seafood, then I don't know of anywhere better.
Not a chance... – A recent coupon mailer brought me in to the restaurant on a Friday night. We had been to the restaurant some time before and the coupon for big $$$ off the meal was the only thing that brought us back. Silly me, I didn't read the fine print; "except on Fridays and holidays." The waitress informed us bluntly that the coupon was "not honored on Fridays" and that I should have read closer. OK, insult to injury, but I pressed on... "Can you ask your manager if there is any other deal you can extend." No dice...
We finished our beers and left, NEVER to return! (By the way, my previous trip to the restaurant yielded tiny portions, -0- ambience, mediocre minus service and a plastic sensibility that would be much more in line at a Jimboy's than a pricey fish restaurant.
But the evening ended on a high note as we travelled down the road about a mile to Scotts and had a great meal with excellent service and beautiful surroundings. By my calculations we paid a total of $6.00 more for a much nicer meal and experience.
The sign in Fins announced that they had opened other locations around town... How in the world do places like this stay in business let alone expand? Boggles the mind!
Also Disappointed – I would have to agree with the previous review. We went to the new Roseville location (8680 Sierra College Blvd) because of the positive reviews in the local newspaper. However, we had a very disappointing experience. The atmosphere was like a fast food restaurant with servers - there was no tablecloth or placemat and hard metal chairs - all tables were extremely small - yet, the prices were more in line with a moderate priced restaurant with a better atmosphere. We got the fish, chips and slaw. It was served in a plastic basket with no bread offering. They wanted $1.95 to substitute vegetables for the french fries. The portions were small and we left hungry. However, the worst part was the Alaskan Cod was tough - I have never had seafood with the consistency of rubber before - the waiter made to offer to replace it when we complained. I would never return here and would not recommend it - for the poor atmosphere, high prices, and poorly prepared seafood.
Very Dissapointed – We had dinner here recently and the portions were very small and there was no flavor. The price was way too high. Bread was served in a blastic basket, and beverages were served in Coke glassess with crushed ice. Maybe I'm just too picky, but for the price I could have gone somewhere else. It's rare I write a bad review, but this one called for it. My family was so dissapointed all we could do was complain all the way home. Oh well. There not every restaurant lives up to your expectations.

Ever since my girlfriend and I established that we were in a sort of informal Master/slave relationship, she had always mentioned her fantasy of wanting to see me dominate another man. We never had any taboos, but I never got into it so it never went beyond her talking dirty about it.
And it was true. Before she fell for me, she was a little inhibited in the way that everyone is when they are ignorant about what "really good" sex is like.
At that point as she left her ex, she had already become completely addicted to me. Addicted to my cock.
I'm not sure what it was, but the last time we were casually watching a hotter-than-usual MMF porno, her laying no the couch, head in my lap, cock in her mouth, and my hand reaching down to slide a golden vibrator into her pussy... it just clicked for me. How lovingly she massaged me with her lips and tongue... how much pleasure she had given me especially with the girl bangs she'd arranged. How turned on these kind of videos made us. I started thinking about making it happen. No more fucking while watching it on screen and sharing dirty whispers about "if." I felt it wash over me as I looked down at my girl, nibbling her way back down my shaft... I REALLY wanted to see that vibe replaced with flesh. I shot a surprisingly huge load into her mouth and she looked up at me with that guilty little look of pleasure she wore so often and said "Someone definitely likes what they see." She swallowed what she could and then sat up beside me, pulling my head to hers with both her hands for a deep kiss.
Her mouth was still a little gooey and she started to shiver with delight as I released my grip on the vibrator and used my fingers to massage her pussy lips, and my thumb to work her clit nice and hard. As she came on my hand, moaning in our kiss I pulled my lips from hers and asked if she was happy. She curled up against me, her head on my shoulder and whimpered how everything was perfect... feeling wave after wave of her orgasm run through her body.
I decided it would be a surprise.
A month later, we had both scored a long weekend away from our respective jobs, and we planned to have a long hard fuck session that would last all day and all night, all weekend... or so she thought.
Waking up late on that first day (Saturday) around midday, we were talking about what toys and activities we would "explore" in our marathon of fucking when I ordered her to be silent. She had a mischievous smile on her face, like she knew all the conversation up to that point was bullshit. She knew I had decided exactly what we would do and it sent an electric shiver down her spine. I gently drew a blindfold over her eyes and tied it firmly. I could feel her lean back into my body, hoping... needing me to kiss her, caress her.
I did not. I undressed her with a slow, light touch, making sure to avoid making actual skin-on-skin contact as much as possible.
After removing the last of what little she had been wearing and letting her stand there, feeling the cool air on her naked body, she stifled a whimper. And that whimper became an excited wordless breath of air as she felt me fix a leather collar to her, and then the CLICK of a leash clasp as I attached it to her.
She immediately fell to her knees. She loved being kept on a leash, and if she had had a tail, she'd be wagging it. I could see her ass wiggling from side to side, knowing she was already getting very wet.
I caressed her face with a firm hand and then picked up the slack on the leash and walked. Tugged forward she quickly fell to her hands and crawled after me as I led her to our bedroom. I had her kneel upright at the foot of the bed, tied her leash to the bed post and abruptly left the room.
I'm sure it felt like hours for her, but after a couple of minutes she heard me open the bedroom door again and return to her side. She pressed her face against my thigh and sighed. Her heat was definitely rising now. I reached down and unclasped the leash and stepped back.
"What do you want today slave girl?" I asked.
"Your cock Master, I want your cock today, I want it EVERY DAY!"
She hesitated for a moment, in case there were instructions coming, and then lunged down on the entire length like it was the last cock she would ever suck. If there was a goddess of cock sucking, she would have been it, and you could see the sheer joy on the man's face as she worked him. No hands, just her face moving back and forth into his crotch. Lips and tongue at work. Naturally, he stiffened up right away.
As she pulled back off his cock for a lungful of air I saw a smile sneak across her lips. She knew my cock, and she knew that even though what she had just been sucking would look the same size as mine, she KNEW it wasn't. My cock was in my hand. Fully erect and eager to make itself known.
I quietly stepped closer and slapped it against her blindfold, hearing her moan, as if the feeling of the slap confirmed any doubts that lingered in her mind.
I stepped back and motioned another of the men in the room to start rubbing his hard-on against her bobbing face. I got down on my knees behind her, my stiffness pressing against her ass crack and my arms wrapping around her, hands running over her. This time she was shocked with surprise.
"Today, my baby becomes a true gangbang cockslut." I whispered into her ear.
I moved my right hand down to her heat and found she was already gushing cum. Her hands were squeezing her full breasts, tweaking her nipples as the cocks at her face took turns at her mouth. I don't think she noticed the cold wetness of lube on my finger as my left hand began fingering her arse hole. She just knew she was going to be fucked like a gangbang whore!
I let her suck long and hard, and she didn't realise that there were four men taking turns on her mouth, not two. I'm sure she could have stayed on her knees all day, but I felt it was time the real fucking began.
As I lifted her up from behind, away from her feast, she instinctively turned to kiss me. Her desperate mouth searching for my lips. Her lips and chin were wet with all the saliva she had been drooling. She really was a cock hungry slut. I let her lips briefly make contact with mine before I threw her down onto the bed.
She was chanting "Thank you baby, thank you Master!" over and over as I reached down and unbuckled her collar. I gave her a light choke as I pulled the leather tighter to unclasp the buckle hook... she never stopped her chant... and it came free, exposing her beautiful, kissable neck.
I commanded her to not move as I moved between her legs. I lubed up and entered her already soaked pussy. After a few thrusts I did the same for her anus, but with a little more ease, and a lot more lube. When she could take a few thrusts without wincing I thrust all the way into her and leaned forward, presenting my lips to her.
I moved my hips forward and she tried to inhale my meat. I had the men either side of me slap their cocks against her face at the same time. She could feel two cocks bouncing and rubbing against her already full mouth, and I could tell she particularly loved the feeling of the really big cock resting across her face with length to spare.
Feeling the two inside her thrust harder now, and held by arms reaching around to squeeze her tits, another pair of hands keeping her ass cheeks well spread apart and firmly held, she moved her own hands up to stroke whichever two pricks she wasn't sucking on at any given time.
Though she wasn't really sucking us off, it was more like a wholesale face fuck as she desperately moved from one cock to the next. Each of us occasionally reaching down to caress her head and hold her down until she choked. Seeing her lunge back for air, thick streams of her cocksucker drool connecting her tongue and lips to each of us.
The sight of her being gangbanged was amazing so I motioned for the three of us to step back, away from her hungry lips and watch a little. Jerking off. Her eyes were fixed on us, watching our hands pump. Until she couldn't take anymore. She was chanting again, "Fuck me". She looked up into my eyes trying to show me she wanted to suck on us again. And with the three of us out of the way, the two inside her were thrusting much harder now.
I didn't move, I just let her watch... but her eyes were fixed on me now and she smiled like an animal that knows its Master is going to feed her hunger, one way or the either.
As I stood there jerking off, watching her take a hard DP fucking... up until that moment I had still been uncertain as to whether I'd follow through on all of her fantasy. I'd made sure it was a possibility in choosing the guys I chose, but I had still considered it a "maybe."
She was oblivious, and was getting more of a surprise today than she had ever expected, so I couldn't help but laugh when the look of absolute delight burst over her face as she watched me grab the guys either side of me by the scruff and pull them down to their knees where they could lean forward and fight over who's lips would suck my cock.
She watched them lick and suck, and could see how turned on they were, jerking off their own cocks as they struggled to service mine. Joy and awe filled her face and her mouth hung open, drool dripping from her lips. Almost as though the DP she was riding didn't matter.
I smiled, grabbing one of the men by a fistful of hair and started fucking his face down onto my cock, harder than we had been doing to her a moment ago.
My girl released this guttural groan that I knew always came before her hardest, most powerful orgasms.
Struggling to keep her eyes open, she was watching as one of the men anxiously sucked my balls deep into his mouth while the other blew me as hard as he could. Both of them trying to finger fuck my arse hole at the same time.... and she knew they were succeeding.
I let her watch as they worshipped my dick for just a little longer and then pushed them away from my crotch like worthless fuck toys. I stepped forward and got onto the bed, dipping my cock into the mouth of the man laying beneath her. She was pushed back into a proper cowgirl position so she could see my shaft between his lips, and my head bobbing ever so lightly against the skin of his throat as I dipped my length down in his throat.
She opened her eyes in shock as I pulled back just a little.
"Show me what a cockslut you are for me baby. Suck these cocks for me slave!"
And she lunged forward to kiss me just as she reached up to pull those two cocks into her mouth. She was desperate to follow my orders. I may have tasted some of the precum in her kiss before, but now I could smell it as she alternated between them, inches from my face. Looking into my eyes she was lost in her lust, knowing that I was throat fucking the man beneath her and controlling all of the men around her, making her fantasy come true. Knowing that trying to fit two juicy cocks between her lips turned me on just as much as it was turning her on.
At one point she pulled back a little, alternating between sucking cocks and lunging at me for a quick, lusty tongue fuck. Giving me a taste of freshly sucked dick on her lips each time. The last time she pulled back to catch her breath, she looked down to see my member had slipped out of that lower sucking mouth and was rubbing back and forth over his face... his mouth as eager to recapture my shaft as she had always been to taste it.
I tried to break the spell by shifting my position, leaning back away from her, so that my arse hole was over his face and I could begin fucking my ass down onto his extended tongue. On my command the two cocks in her hands disappeared and these two men got down to suck my raging hard-on as it pointed up at her.
My slavegirl was whimpering again as another of her more powerful orgasms flowed through her, strengthened by the steady and non-stop DP she was taking.
I slapped her dazed face and she looked at me.
"I thought you were supposed to be the cockslut, not them!?!"
And with that she dove down onto my cock. Not willing to share, she took all of my flesh for herself. Reaching out to grab hold of their balls and squeezed, making it clear that this was her territory, then grabbing their shafts for the tightest fist pumping of their lives. And she fucked like a wild animal. All her holes filled, her hands on cock. Everything she had fantasised about and hoped for from a cockbang was nothing compared to what she was feeling now.
As I was getting ready to cum myself, I grabbed my girl by the back of her head and pulled her back up into the proper cowgirl position, and told all the guys that they were now free to unleash their loads.
The two DP'ing her came instantly. The other two that had been in her painful grip stood next to me, jerking off, as I waved my cock in front of her face. I grabbed hold of the two of them and drew them in closer, commanding them to fuck their cocks against mine. Both my hands trying to stroke three dicks, wedged together.
"Cum on your cockslut's face Master!" My girl cried out, and I felt the two men swell and pulsate against my shaft and in my hands. The look of lust in my slave's eyes, and the feeling of flesh in my hands made me cum with them, and we shot strings of hot, thick cum all over her face, and into her opened mouth.
Running my fingers down to where hot cum still oozed out of her. I dipped my fingers into her sloppy pussy and brought them up to feed to her, which she licked clean.
I kneaded her full breasts and bent down to suckle on her nipples, kissing her all over, finding drops of cum across her chest. She grabbed my head and pulled me up for a kiss. Her mouth was so coated in cum that it felt like a full load was still on her tongue.
She wanted me to taste how much of a slut she was. How much of a slut I had made her into. Telling me how much she loved serving me, between kisses. How much she loved belonging to me. How much she loved me.
She moved her body onto me, rubbing her tits into my chest. Moving forward to rub them against my face. Then we rolled over with her pinned to the bed beneath me. I kissed her deeply and then licked my way down her body, down to her hot creampie.
I gave her pussy a good hard suck, and tongued at her cum filled arse hole, then moved back up for a kiss.
We rolled over onto my back, her on top of me, clinging to me. Her tongue dancing with mine in our gooey kiss.
And we still had the night ahead of us...

The suit was brought by Earthjustice on behalf of the Sierra Club. It is the third time in two years that a federal court has ruled that EPA has illegally delayed clean air requirements for the Washington area.
"This is a big victory for everyone who breathes the air in this community," said Earthjustice attorney David Baron. "Just by being outside, Washington area residents are exposed to ozone at levels that can cause serious health problems, especially for children, senior citizens, and asthmatics. We hope EPA will now get the message and start protecting our lungs rather than making excuses for delay."
At issue is the Washington area's continued violation of federal health standards for ozone (smog), a severe lung irritant that is particularly dangerous to children, persons with asthma, and senior citizens. Elevated ozone levels have been linked to increased hospital and emergency room visits, and symptoms such as chest pain, nausea, and pulmonary congestion.
In the Spring of 2003, EPA "conditionally" approved regional air pollution plans that a federal Court ruled inadequate in 2002. The plans were completely missing a variety of anti-smog measures required by the Clean Air Act, including stronger pollution limits for factories, annual emissions cuts, and steps to offset growth in car and truck exhaust. EPA's conditional approval let the District, Maryland, and Virginia put off the adoption of these measures. Earthjustice filed suit, contending that EPA's action violated the Clean Air Act. In today's decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit agreed.
"We're pleased the Court rejected EPA's delaying tactic," said Sierra Club spokesperson Melanie Mayock. "We need an effective, enforceable plan to get the necessary pollution reductions for healthy air, and we need it now. The residents of Metropolitan Washington have waited too long to breathe healthy air because of delays from EPA."
In the summer of 2002 the Washington region suffered from the worst ozone pollution in more than a decade. There were nine "code red" days, and another 19 "code orange" days when children were warned to limit outdoor play. The situation was even worse when measured against EPA's new, more protective 8-hour ozone standard, which was exceeded on 36 days in 2002 – including two "code purple" days when the air was deemed "very unhealthy."
Sierra Club, Earthjustice, and other environmental groups have criticized a draft clean air plan released in December by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments for offering too little in the way in additional controls on motor vehicle exhaust, and further delaying required anti-smog rules.
As a result of the earlier Earthjustice suits on behalf of Sierra Club, the Washington region was reclassified from "serious" to "severe" for ozone in early 2003, triggering requirements for stronger pollution controls. Unfortunately, the more protective measures required by the law have still not been adopted," said Baron. "We hope today's court decision will put an end to further delays."

octorex bug (waveform preview not truncated to left and right markers)
FYI , i made a custom Rex file with Recycle and set up the left and right markers in the file, the full wave is quite long and will be used for several seperate rex files.
specifically focused on a specific fret on a specific string on a bass guitar.
when i load the truncated rex file into the octo rex player the full wave profile is visible even though there are no slices over much of the waveform and the right marker should be the clipping point is way to the left of the visible waveform.
this seems like a bug to me ..
ps. it would be great if they could somehow make it so a single slice could have probability, or randomly choose from several similar sounding samples to avoid repetitious loop triggers and also account for some velocity based switching ..with the same kind of random trigger of assigned similarity on different velocity layers ...
maybe we can double click on a slice or twirl down a special panel to reveal a velocity and alternate slice association management panel.
there should also be a bug icon below the text entry here to go along with the lightbulb and the happy face ..

Good little player for the gym. Better than your expensive smartphone because it is smaller, and if the headphone jack gets fkt from all the movement, you can throw it away.
I also have a clip and interchange them, one charges while the other is used. Both are great but this one has way longer run time on a charge.
AND it will run Rockbox, a superior interface.

Divorce Lawyers in Huntsville
$320 Uncontested Divorces in Huntsville and Madison
If you reside in or around the Huntsville area then it is important that you retain a local Huntsville divorce lawyer to handle your divorce filing, even if you are considering a quick and cheap divorce. Our divorce lawyers in Huntsville are currently charging $320 or $420 for uncontested divorces, depending on whether you have minor children of the marriage or not. This is only in cases where both parties have already reached an agreement concerning all marital issues prior to the divorce being filed.
Madison County has some local rules that apply to divorce filings that other counties may not have, and our Huntsville divorce lawyers are very familiar with these county specific requirements. For example, in Madison County if you have minor children of the marriage then you will not be able to receive your divorce decree unless you complete a transitions in parenting course and receive a certificate of completion. This is a requirement that is specific to this particular jurisdiction, with most other counties not requiring this parenting course in an uncontested divorce.
There are also certain clauses and language that the Madison County Courts require in your Settlement Agreement and other documents. This means that if you obtain divorce documents from an online document preparation company, instead of a local divorce attorney in the Huntsville area, then their documents will not likely have the local language and clauses that are required in Madison County courts.
Another county specific requirement is the filing fee that the courts charge when the divorce is filed. This fee can very greatly from county to county. The filing fee for Madison County is currently $337 (which includes a small convenience fee for filing a divorce electronically) and this fee must be paid prior to our Huntsville divorce lawyers filling your uncontested divorce for you.
If you reside in Huntsville, Madison, Meridianville, Harvest, Hazel Green, New Hope, New Market, or Redstone Arsenal then your divorce will likely be filed in the Madison County Circuit Court. Huntsville is the county seat of Madison County with the county courthouse being located in downtown Huntsville. The city of Huntsville is the fourth largest city in Alabama with a population of about 180,105 as of the 2010 U.S. Census and the Metropolitan Area's population being about 417,593 as of the 2010 U.S. Census. Huntsville is located in Northern Alabama and borders Morgan County, Marshall County, Jackson County, and Limestone County. If you have any questions about filing for divorce locally in the Madison County area, then contact our Huntsville divorce lawyers and we will be happy to speak with you.
Madison Divorce Lawyers
Madison is the second largest city in Madison County with over 40,000 people. Although our Madison divorce lawyers do not have an office in the city, we also file many divorces for individuals living in the Madison city limits. Madison is located in Northern Alabama and is in the Huntsville area. Most of the people that file divorce and reside in Madison, will be filing their divorce in the Madison County Courts, similar to individuals living in the city of Huntsville.
If you and your spouse have already reached an agreement and are seeking an uncontested divorce in Huntsville, Madison, or the surrounding areas of Madison County, then our Madison and Huntsville divorce attorneys are currently charging a discounted flat rate for our attorneys fees in uncontested divorce cases. For more information on the costs of divorce please go to our Costs of Filing an Uncontested Divorce page. We have offices across Alabama, including in Huntsville, and in the case of an uncontested divorce our divorce attorneys can set up a telephone conference with you to answer any questions you might have since you have already reached an agreement with your spouse.
Madison County Chamber of Commerce
If you live in Madison County, whether in the city of Huntsville or Madison, then our divorce attorneys can help you file your uncontested divorce. Give us a call today for a consultation with one of our Huntsville divorce lawyers and let us counsel you through the divorce process.

Huffington Post commenters are painfully ignorant: criticize Ron Paul on secession statements
The article itself is fine but the comments are beyond ignorant. Rather than looking into the historical facts which Paul spoke of or attempting to argue political theory, philosophy, or the language of the US Consitution these Huffington Post'ers just blather on.
- The war against the CSA did not answer the question of secession. It answered the question of who was more powerful / had more people to send to their death.
- The Constitution makes no mention of secession. In the early years of the country there was no question that if a group could voluntarily enter into a governing agreement that they could not back out of it. The Declaration of Independence points this out clearly.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
- Ron Paul has not all of a sudden, due to a black (he's not "black" but born of "white" and "black" parents, what is this the slavery "one drop" days?) president, start supporting the concept of secession. It's an ignorant and likely bigotted statement to claim such a thing.
- Ron Paul does advocate removing at least the property rights infringement aspects of the Civil Rights Act. The federal government has no authority to make such a law and it's a gross infringement to one's right to property.
- FACT: The Pledge of Allegiance was created by Francis Bellamy in the late 1800′s to get people to more or less worship the state given he was a a state socialist and a flag salesman who would gain from such a pledge becoming popular.
- IMO it helps to make actual arguments based on logic and facts rather than mud throwing and ad hominems.

The Second Amendment does not give you the right to own a gun
Both statements are contradictory to the purpose of the Bill of Rights and the founding principles of America.
America was founded under the principle that we, as citizens, were endowed with certain rights, unlike in other countries, where rights are dispensations from the government. Its what makes America unique.
Outside the realm of jurisprudence, The Bill of Rights does not confer any rights to the individual, nor does it empower the Federal Government any degree of oversight. Quite the contrary, each of the Amendments that comprise the Bill of Rights is a stricture against the Federal Government, binding and limiting its power.
The Second Amendment states:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Many who oppose the ownership of firearms by private citizens make the claim that citizens are only permitted firearms when in service of the Militia. Thats a bass-ackwards reading of the Amendment. When the Amendment is properly read, it is obvious that it is the Militia that is dependent on the peoples right, rather than the peoples right being dependent on the Militia. Furthermore, from the words of the Amendment itself, it is also obvious that the right of the people to bear arms preceded any militia involvement and even the Constitution itself.
Those who favor stricter gun-control legislation, point to the phrase, "A well regulated militia..." as license for the Federal Government to intervene and "regulate" the private ownership of firearms. This is a deliberate misreading perpetrated by those wishing to advance their agenda. The word "regulate", in respect to the Second Amendment, is more closely akin to "trained, equipped and disciplined", as affirmed in David McCulloughs historical novel, 1776.
The day's orders form Sullivan deplored the disorter and unsoldierly behavior displayed in the camps in the eve of battle. Yet soldiers were here, there, and everyswhere, strollin about as if on holiday, some of them miles from the lines. "Carts and horses driving every way among the amry, " wrote Philip Fithian. "Men marching out and coming in... Small arms and field pieces continually firing. All in tumult."
The contrast between such disorder and flagrant disregard for authority and the perfectly orchestrated landing By Howe's troops could not have been more pronounced.
Arriving at Brooklyn, Washington was outraged by what he saw, and in a letter written later in the day, he lectured Old Put (Gen. Israel Putnam) as he might the greenest lieutenant. All "irregularities" must cease at once. "The distinction between a well regulated army and a mob is the good order and discipline of the first, and the licentious and disorderly behavior of the latter." (Simon & Schuster; page 161)
Furthermore, to use "regulate", as in to "control the limits of" would be contradictory to the phrase, "shall not be infringed" that resides within the same sentence.
And finally, the purpose of the "Bill of Rights", as intended by the framers of the Constitution, puts regulation of the private ownership of firearms out of the purview of the Federal Government.
No, the Second Amendment didnt give you the right, you already had the right. And barring an amendment to the Constitution, youve still got it.
Thanks for pointing out to us that the correct interpretation is that we had the "right to bear arms" even before the second amendment was ratified. I have never had that pointed out to me before.

Concerning the 2nd amendment and the right to bear arms, people today who don't understand history often misinterpret this amendment. it says in part " a well armed militia" Back in the day how did you establish a well armed force? Every citizen was expected to bring his own personal firearm and ammo. There were no armories or weapon stores to draw from. So if the citizen wasn't armed there would be no militia. Yes the 2nd amendment does means the citizen most certainly does have that right and was expected to have a firearm.

Kent State running back Dri Archer (1) crosses the goal line Sunday to score against Arkansas State in the second quarter of the GoDaddy.com Bowl NCAA game in Mobile, Ala.
Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
MOBILE, Ala. — Ryan Aplin threw for 213 yards and a touchdown, J.D. McKissic caught 11 passes for 113 yards and Arkansas State edged No. 25 Kent State 17-13 to win the GoDaddy.com Bowl on Sunday night.
Arkansas State's usually prolific offense struggled against Kent State, but the consistent Aplin-to-McKissic connection and a stingy defense was enough to help the Red Wolves to their first bowl win since joining the Football Bowl Subdivision in 1992.
Kent State was driving late in the game when quarterback Spencer Keith tried to scramble on fourth down and was stopped a few yards short of the marker with 52 seconds left. Neither team scored a touchdown in the second half.
The Golden Flashes were playing in their first bowl game since 1972.

One hundred years after the start of the "Great War," World War I for Kids provides an intriguing and comprehensive look at this defining conflict that involved all of the world's superpowers. Why and how did the war come about? What was daily life like for soldiers in the trenches? What roles did zeppelins, barbed wire, and the passenger ship Lusitania play in the war? Who were Kaiser Wilhelm, the Red Baron, and Edith Cavell? Young history buffs will learn the answers these questions and many others, including why the western front bogged down into a long stalemate; how the war ushered in an era of rapid military, technological, and societal advances; and how the United States' entry helped end the war. Far from a dry catalog of names, dates, and battles, this richly illustrated book goes in depth into such fascinating topics as turn-of-the-20th-century weaponry and the important roles animals played in the war, and explains connections among events and how the war changed the course of history.
When Booker T. Washington, the famed African American educator, asked Julius Rosenwald, the wealthy president of Sears, Roebuck and Company and noted philanthropist, to help him build well-designed and fully equipped schools for black children, the face of education in the South changed for the better. It was the early 1900s, a time of discrimination, racial segregation, and inadequate education for African Americans. Rosenwald created a special fund that in just twenty years built more than 5,300 schools attended by 600,000 black students.
One hundred years ago, a mysterious and alarming illness spread across America's South, striking tens of thousands of victims. No one knew what caused it or how to treat it. People were left weak, disfigured, insane, and in some cases, dead. Award-winning science and history writer Gail Jarrow tracks this disease, commonly known as pellagra, and highlights how doctors, scientists, and public health officials finally defeated it.
Cecily and Jeremy have been sent to live with their uncle Peregrine in the English countryside, safe from the war, along with a young refugee named May. But when Cecily and May find two mysterious boys hiding in the ruins of a nearby castle, an extraordinary adventure begins.

Even though he lived in America for nearly 20 years, honing his skills working behind the camera on several Quentin Tarantino films, Doueiri never let his homeland stray far from his thoughts. He drew on childhood memories for his critically lauded first feature film, the semi-autobiographical West Beirut (1999), and wrote his second screenplay, the charming coming-of-age story Lila Says (2004), with his wife, Lebanese screenwriter and former Le Soir correspondent Joelle Touma. In 2006, an American production company approached the couple to adapt L'Attentat, an acclaimed novel by Algerian author Yasmina Khadra.
Almost immediately, the same company that had hired them began to balk over the film's controversial subject matter. Soon, Doueiri and Touma found themselves deep into the adaptation of a book to which they did not have the rights, let alone the financing. One American producer told Doueiri bluntly: "I can't make this film because it is considered too pro-Palestinian for an American audience and too pro-Israeli for Europeans." It would take several years to recuperate the rights, find a new producer and raise the funds they needed.
Doueiri and Touma also struggled to convert the story to the screen. The novel is narrated by Amin Jaafari, an ambitious, happily married Arab surgeon whose comfortable life in Tel Aviv comes apart when he is called into his hospital the night following a suicide attack in a nearby café. Authorities have identified the bomber: Jaafari's wife Sihem. Stunned, Jaafari first seeks to deny and then, with almost as much futility, understand the secret life his wife had been leading for years. In the process he uncovers painful truths about his own blindness. The filmmakers also struggled to understand Sihem. How could they make her sympathetic, or even comprehensible, to viewers? "This is a woman who has everything," Touma said. "Money, education, a loving husband. She is not a fanatic; she is not insane. She is a mystery."
She also exists as a memory, which translates vividly in prose but is problematic in the visual medium of cinema. After multiple rewrites and flashback sequences that ended up on the cutting-room floor, Doueiri realized that the story belonged to Jaafari, not Sihem. His quest for the truth takes him deep into his past and his responsibility to the woman, and the country, he loved but never really knew. His will pay an unbearably high price for his years of denial.
"Denial is something you find everywhere in the Middle East," said Doueiri, "on all sides. Our goal was never to please either side, but to tell the story as truthfully and simply as we could." What's most inspiring about The Attack is how it asks us to face the region's impossible paradoxes through the prism of one man's broken heart.
Still more inspiring is how, after six years of struggle, the film was made by a cast and crew of Arabs and Jews working together, despite underlying tensions, a difficult production and a story that leaves questions for the viewer to answer. "Artists will always overcome their prejudices to make a movie they care about," said Doueiri. "It is one of the blessings of cinema."
Lebanon, 2012, 102m
Director: Ziad Doueiri
Writers: Ziad Doueiri and Joelle Touma
Based on a novel by Yasmina Khadra
