This simple how perhaps might be useful to those who are connecting their sound card to a receiver that doesn't have analog input (like me for example) and using the Matrix Decoder on your receiver doesn't sounds as good as using a Dolby Digital / AC3 encoded files. So what this simple how to trying to achieve is to do a realtime AC3 Encoding using software (in other word, using your CPU power to perform realtime Dolby Digital encoding) and then deliver that Dolby Digital / AC3 encoded material to your receiver. Although unfortunately it doesn't come for free
Before i begin, please note that this tips is intended for use in Gaming only (or perhaps listening through your MP3/MP4s collection if you're not using a music player that support realtime Dolby Digital Encoding from a plugin, like Winamp for example). Because for movie and music listening purpose the process is much simpler plus there's no latency problem like this and you don't need to spend money (unless you want to donate for the project) .. but i'm not going to describe the process for movie and music listening purpose here because as the title says this is for games :)
If you're currently using below setup, then chances are you don't need to spend $30 USD to get a realtime AC3 Encoder / Dolby Digital Encoder. But i haven't tested it yet because i don't have the required hardware
Otherwise, if your setup doesn't match above configuration then unfortunately you'll need to spend $30 USD for a software that is required for this purpose BUT if you don't mind on spending more money and prefer to skip all this together, you can just buy Diamond Multimedia Xtreme Sound 7.1 DDL (equipped with Dolby Digital Live feature, which is unfortunately not available on where i live because there are no distributor for it here according to the official website) if you prefer a cheaper alternative to X-Fi (at least for me)
Anyway here are the steps:
Trial version available with some limitation like female voice reminder each several seconds
If your source sample rate isn't 48000 you need to set the Output Format rate to 48000 (i already configured it to always deliver 48000Hz so i don't need to set it in AC3Filter) or you can just set the AC3Filter sample rate to 48000
Note: You should adjust the bass redirection frequency according to your Sub Woofer capability as described in the manual and feel free to adjust everything on this section to your liking
But please keep this in mind, in order to use this realtime ac3 encoding in the future, you'll always need to launch GraphStudio first and then choose the play button on GraphStudio, or else it's not going to work
Credits goes to the poster at AC3Filter Forum because without his post, i would have to get a X-Fi card which is … well … i'm not sure on when i can get it :)
As a side note, upmixing like this may result in lower sound quality (perhaps if you can notice it). Also there'll be latency problem (noticeable). So for certain games (such as Pro Evolution Soccer 2011) i choose to disable realtime ac3 encoding. But for games like Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed, it sounds great to me :D
And to those who are wondering, on why i didn't set the number of channel to 5.1 (6 Channel) in Virtual Audio Cable Control Panel and Virtual Audio Speakers Configuration in Windows Sound Control Panel under Playback Device and Recording Device. The reasons are:
And because of that reason, i guess it's better to upmix it from Stereo to 5.1 AC3 / Dolby Digital :)
Axel Dec 31, 2013 at 10:45 PM
do you have an idea where I can use 6 or any channels for direct input without mix-down or similar?
I would like to use straight multichannel live output via S/PDIF (AC3) e.g. Cubase and similar. I could use VAC with more virtual connections.
I have a 'older' receiver (Yamaha RX-V559) with total of 7 channels (FL+C+FR, SL+SB+SR and LFE). (Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES DISCRETE 6.1 output).
Thanks in advance.
PS: This tutorial is a little out of date, but it still works.
Axel Apr 6, 2014 at 10:00 PM
Analog can send six channels via ASIO4ALL, works with Cubase (6), Mixxx and some other applications that use ASIO (ASIO4ALL).
In Cubase you can set for each track a own channel output. If you have a sound card with total 8 channels, you can use it. With 6 channels is it possible too. Your receiver must have 6 or 8 input channels via cinch (analog).

Great !!!
bob ross Apr 11, 2013 at 2:29 PM
I was playing around with this and while I'm not going to buy virtual cable, I did put in my xfi platinum card. I can't use the alt drivers, but graphstudio will use my sound card as a audio source. I can connect its output to my ati video card, and play audio from the creative card to the ati card. I tried using ac3filter to mix it but I only get 2 channel, maybe 3. rear are mixed with front. I think if i buy the creative connect DDL I can patch the hardware coded sound to my ati card and I can finally play my games in surround sound on the big tv. wish me luck… maybe someone else will have better luck connecting a hardware ddl card to video hdmi with ac3 intact.

fro me the same i read and then i cant read any more of solusion?
dennis Oct 6, 2012 at 7:37 AM
and how do you set Line 1 ( virtual cable as ADC ? i onley get master volume Line 1(virtual audio cable )
And i dont get the arrows like yourse or collors like yours so how to activate that ?
Jorgos Nomikos Sep 21, 2012 at 10:26 PM
Thanks for the amazing tutorial!
It works perfectly on my VIA Integrated HD SPDIF Motherboard output!

Thomas Sep 1, 2012 at 12:16 PM
Hey, great topic! Took a bit of extra finagling to get it to work in Skyrim, but I now have full 3d surround sound! The trouble is the lag :( I've played around with a few settings, dropping the bit rate to 128 and setting the priority of the specific processes hosting the services (svchost etc) to real time, but I'm still getting an unacceptable lag. My SPDIF doesn't support less than 48000khz so I can't drop that without the output coming out in PCM. I still have nearly a full second in lag! What else can I change that can help drop my lag down?
I'm running an Athlon X2 @ 2.6ghz with 6gb DDR2, 64gb SSD primary, and GeForce 570. Yes, my CPU is the holdup in my performance all around :(
Alfredo Jul 27, 2012 at 2:08 AM
its work for me :) but i have one problem, when i press the play button in "Graphstudio", i hear every six seconds a message, saying "TRY", how i can mute this ?
PD:everything else is ok.
RP Jul 5, 2012 at 2:37 AM
I downloaded these apps today and ACFilter config did not have the option in your second+ picture… the 3/2+SW5.1Channels option is not available. I see no options with "SW" in the name… all 3 apps were installed before opening the AC3 config. Any idea what the issue may be? Please respond to email I might not check back here after a few days… Thanks.
RP Jul 5, 2012 at 7:10 AM
I think they renamed 3/2+SW to "5.1 Surround" assuming "SW" was subwoofer. Now, almost at the end of it I ran into one more problem. In step 5/1 when the Virtual Cable 1 is added but the box display does not have all the connectors it has in your picture. On the left are ADC and Volume, on the right side is just Capture and DAC…
Alexis Jun 26, 2012 at 12:55 PM
This was kind of confusing for someone like me who doesn't know much about audio. I quit after a while and just got a sound card with Dolby Digital Live and DTS interactive…
L2P Apr 8, 2012 at 10:58 PM
Dude, I finally got this to work, but the sound is like a second delayed. Could anyone help me?
L2P Apr 9, 2012 at 7:33 PM
I mean like when i play games like counter strike it is impossible to use the sound because it is way too delayed. Is there any way for me o get 5.1 on CS without that enourmus delay, what do i have to do? Thanks for the post btw, it really solved some problems:)

"And because of that reason, i guess it's better to upmix it from Stereo to 5.1 AC3 / Dolby Digital :)"
But then we are not experiencing a really 5.1 sound in games, and a upscaling 5.1 stereo, like some home theater does…
Leolulz Sep 4, 2011 at 12:11 AM
Hi. I did exactly as the steps told me to do. But in the last steps about Graph Studio i got a couple of problems. I saw a few comments right under that's pretty similar i think but it could'nt help me.
The ADC pin and Volume pin is on the LEFT side of the Virtual Cable 1 block, Capture and DAC on the RIGHT side of the block. So i can't attach the ADC to the AC3Filter.

Scratch that, figured it out! Just need to buy VAC, cos it keeps gong, 'trial'! :p
Alex Jun 6, 2011 at 4:47 AM
Hi, I've been trying to follow your instructions, but I can't seem to do it! First, my Virtual Cable filter looks different to yours (only says 'Capture' and 'DAC'). Secondly, I can't get them to string together? Am I doing something obviously wrong? I'm trying to get AC3 to work through iTunes (to redirect my bass!). Thanks!
Tapo Jun 4, 2011 at 2:34 PM
Hey, great write up!
I'm using this to channel all sound; music along with gaming, and managed to prevent audio quality loss:
For my system setup [hdmi -> tv -> optical out to 5.1], I can increase the BPS from 16 to 24, and set AC3 to use 24bit. This prevents any audio loss that I had initially [easily discerned switching between audio default devices].
Kyle Tuite May 7, 2011 at 2:30 AM
Aw yeah good to see you're writing again! Glad to have to have you back Reaper!
Michael Apr 27, 2011 at 6:45 AM
Thanks, nicely laid out! I have followed your setup with some success – the Dolby Digital indicator does indeed activate, but only the stereo L and R speakers activate/receive sound. Setting the game to output 5.1 (changed from stereo) makes no difference. Any ideas?
Thanks again for the post.

When we heard Prince was making an appearance in TV show New Girl we couldn't have been more excited - and he didn't disappoint. The normally media-shy singer is hilarious in the episode which premiered in the US after the Super Bowl.
In the episode Jess (Zooey Deschanel) and Cece (Hannah Simone) scoop invites to Prince's LA house for one of his infamous all-night parties. Jess is in the midst of relationship drama with Nick (Jake Johnson) so of course he sneaks in too and all hell breaks loose.
The first time we see the 'Purple Rain' legend is when he pops up during a typically awkward Nick and Jess relationship chat. Jess obviously reacts very calmly to his arrival..
Shooing Nick, Prince drags Jess away for pancakes, ping pong and an incredible makeover sequence to track 'When You Were Mine'.
Prince not only gives Jess a glam new look, he also puts her through her emotional paces with a series of candle lit meditation sessions... and also by locking her in a cupboard. "Anything beautiful's worth getting hurt for," he tells Jess. "You know who said that? Me."
Elsewhere Schmidt (Max Greenfield) tries to ditch his old friends for "better" ones and Winston (Lamorne Morris) tries to chat up Alessandra Ambrosio....
The climax of the programme is Prince pulling Jess up on stage for a performance of a never-before-heard track with the lyrics "don't you wanna fall in love tonight". Prince dons Willy Wonka shades as he croons through a megaphone, Jess sports her glam new look and the rest of the gang join them to dance wildy. How did Jess know the lyrics? "I think Prince is magic," she tells the boys.
The best bit of all though? Nick's flashback to dressing up as Prince in his high school years. So chic.

The Bears didn't acquire Jay Cutler to watch him hand the ball off to Matt Forte, but that formula worked Sunday in their victory over the Panthers. Flip through the gallery for 10 more observations. | Tom Cruze/Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: October 4, 2011 3:20PM
The Bears' 34-29 victory over the Carolina Panthers would be a lot easier to celebrate if the Bears looked like they could beat better teams than the Panthers with 224 rushing yards and Jay Cutler throwing 17 passes.
Unfortunately, there's no way that was the formula Jerry Angelo and Lovie Smith had in mind when they acquired Cutler in a trade with Denver and signed Mike Martz as offensive coordinator.
The Bears did what they do best. They took advantage of an opponent's weakness to win a game they couldn't afford to lose. The pounded a Carolina defense with three starters missing — including Pro Bowl linebacker Jon Beason and cornerback Chris Gamble — and with two rookies starting at defensive tackle. The Cardinals (21 carries, 100 yards, 1 TD), Packers (16-111, 1 TD) and Jaguars (29-126) all had success with running backs against Carolina. The Bears did it better.
The Bears' defense, expected to be among the NFL's elite, has been a disappointment. But when Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs and Israel Idonije say they have ''work to do'' and will rely on their veteran leadership to ''clean things up,'' it's not implausible to think they can do it.
But the focus is still on the unproven offense, which answered one question — Can the Bears run the ball? — but left way too much room for doubt Sunday. Cutler struggled to even manage the game. The Bears used three time outs to get the right personnel on the field. Matt Forte caught more passes than any of the wide receivers.
The Bears are 2-2 — not an unexpected result considering the difficult early schedule. But they're not going anywhere without the offense they have spent nearly two years designing. The Bears still have work to do. But it's Mike Martz's offense that has the tougher job.
And now, 10 more observations about the Bears after Week 4:

Hopalong Tentacles is a bartender at the Krusty Kantina. He first appeared in the episode "Pest of the West" and in the short "Spurskate." He plays the piano during a song by putting 5 cents into the coin slot. Like his descendant, Squidward, he thinks SpongeBuck (SpongeBob toward Squidward) is annoying. He sells milk, root beer and most likely other beverages. It is unknown where he actually lives, he could possibly stay in Dead-Eye Inn. He thinks William Krabs is cheap just like the real Mr. Krabs. His name is a parody of Hopalong Cassidy, a fictional cowboy created by author Clarence E. Mulford. He is voiced by Rodger Bumpass.
He is very similar to Squidward in appearance, but also has a handle-bar mustache and a vest and brown shirt. He is best known for putting five cents into the piano to play a song.
His attitude is just like Squidward's. He dislikes SpongeBuck, like the present-time Squidward does to SpongeBob.

A 22-year-old Wisconsin man was sentenced to six months in prison yesterday for claiming online that terrorists were going to set off radioactive "dirty bombs" at seven NFL football stadiums, according to U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie.
The convicted, Jake J. Brahm of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, posted the message approximately 40 times online between September and October 2006 on the Web site 4chan.org, a site he called "outrageous," the Associated Press reports.
The postings warned that a string of radioactive dirty bombs would be detonated by terrorists at seven football stadiums in Atlanta, Cleveland, Houston, Miami, New York City, Oakland, and Seattle.
The attack against New York City referred to Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Christie explained.
The messages also claimed that the bombs would be delivered by trucks and that "the death toll will approach 100,000 from the initial blasts and countless other fatalities will later occur as result from radioactive fallout."
Brahm also wrote that Osama Bin Laden would describe the attack as "America's Hiroshima" and that the attacks would cause "global conflicts to erupt in their wake," says Christie. The original posting carried an embedded picture of the World Trade Center after both planes had crashed into the Twin Towers.
Brahm pleaded guilty in late February to a one count indictment of "willfully conveying false information" of the terrorist attacks.
U.S. District Judge Jose L. Linares called Brahm's Internet postings "a sick hoax."
"I'd also characterize his conduct as cruel and dangerous," Christie added.
Brahm's attorney, Walter A. Lesnevich, asked for leniency for Brahm, describing his client as an "'unsophisticated kid' who was immersed in the Web site's culture," according to the AP.
Despite Lesnevich's attempts to minimize his client's actions, said Michael Drewniak of the U.S. Department of Justice's Public Affairs Office, Brahm's actions were "malicious and purposeful."
In addition to serving six months in prison, Judge Linares ordered an additional six months of house arrest for Brahm and ruled he will pay $26,750 in restitution—$18,000 to the Cleveland Browns and $8,750 to the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority—for the price of extra police and security and bomb-sniffing dogs at Clevand Browns Stadium and Giants Stadium.
Brahm is to surrender to the Bureau of Federal Prisons no later than July 21.

The purpose of this thread to record all Roundtable discussion threads that past mods and regular users had hosted. To promote user content in the community. Part of Anime Vice's community and staff's goals is to promote user content because we are community driven. Feel free to use this thread to pool ideas.
My style was to promote anime and manga series that dealt with the wiki projects where my teammates and I worked on. That was when Fire Star was taking over Sora's job in the Roundtable discussions. Fire Star and Sora invited well rounded and respected users to partake in the roundtable discussions. With Fire Star and Sora being inactive, I'm somewhat reviving the roundtable discussions. I'm doing it less frequently given how much time it takes and what topics are hot during seasons. It's better to do a roundtable when you have a momentum during when a new anime or popular manga series is on the majority's watch/ read list. Today, I invite everyone who has a good standing with the community.
After my meeting with Tom Pinchuk back at Anime Expo 2013, he told me we're community driven. He said users shouldn't be shy in promoting their stuff on the front page. As I work with the community, I was looking for ideas. I ask Daniel, sickVisionz, Foxx, Gia, and plenty of others in Anime Vice and on Twitter. Finally in August or September 2013, I got a break through, the cultural interviews (An Entire World of Anime Fans! -- THE VICE PIT). Let's keep on working on it.
Lastly, remember, anyone in this community can start a roundtable of their own. I'm not a leader, just a facilitator.

WORK to thrash out a business agreement between Wrexham Council and the group looking to reopen Plas Madoc Leisure Centre will begin today.
The council's executive board voted six to two against a motion to grant the Splash Community Trust a cash injection of £50,000 at a meeting on Tuesday.
Cllr Hugh Jones told the meeting a report would be brought before the next executive board meeting in September to decide whether to give the green light to the trust's bid to take over the Acrefair facility, which closed in April.
Splash Trust chairman Darrell Wright remained upbeat, telling the Leader meetings with council officers to discuss the business plan ahead of next month's crunch meeting would begin today.
Mr Wright also confirmed the trust had sought advice from an independent third party as to the viability of their business plan in order to get an impartial assessment.
He said: "The motion was defeated but it was always on the cards that subject to the business plan, the council would look favourably on us."
Cllr David A. Bithell, leader of Wrexham Independent group, said he was disappointed the motion, which would only have seen the trust granted the money if their business plan was proved viable, did not succeed.
And Cllr Bithell hit out at the executive board members who voted against the motion, which he and fellow Wrexham Independent councillor Joan Lowe submitted last month.
He said: "It's quite clear the current administration running Wrexham Council do not want Plas Madoc to reopen in any shape or form.
"They rejected the alternative budget put forward on February 26, which would have saved Plas Madoc, and they have also rejected our motion."
The executive board rejection came as a surprise to some as it came about two weeks after the Labour group on Wrexham Council reportedly voted to back the idea at a closed party meeting.
Cllr Bithell said: "It seems like there are a lot of party politics being played as Labour had said they would support £100,000 over two years.
"The next thing we will see in September is a knight in shining armour with Labour colours on the shield claiming we saved Plas Madoc."
Cllr Derek Wright, who represents Cefn, said the six who voted against the motion were "wrong" to do so.
He said: "I can understand why the did it because finances are so tight but I still believe six councillors made the wrong decision. For what it was costing them previously to run the centre, they could have got away with it for £50,000 for two years."
l In a report on Plas Madoc Leisure Centre in yesterday's Wrexham Leader we reported that Cllr Dana Davies declared an interest as she is a board member of the Splash Trust.
This should have read a relative of Cllr Davies is a board member.

Major General Marion Eugene Carl, USMC, (November 1, 1915 – June 28, 1998) was a World War II fighter ace, record-setting test pilot, and naval aviator. During World War II, he became the first-ever Marine Corps ace.
Early years[edit]
Born on the family farm near Hubbard, Oregon, Carl was always attracted to aviation. He learned to fly while attending college and soloed after merely 2½ hours of instruction. (Eight to ten hours is typical.) He studied engineering at Oregon State College (now a university) and, in 1938, graduated as a lieutenant in the Army Reserve.
Marine Corps career[edit]
Carl resigned his commission to become a naval aviation cadet and received his "wings of gold" and Marine Corps commission in December 1939. Carl's first posting was to Marine Fighting Squadron One (VMF-1) at Quantico, Virginia which lasted for one year. Ordered back to Pensacola, Carl served as an instructor pilot helping to train the rapidly growing number of naval aviators, before receiving orders to the newly formed Marine Fighting Squadron 221 (VMF-221) at NAS North Island in San Diego, California.
World War II[edit]
The 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor found VMF-221 preparing to embark aboard the USS Saratoga for transport to Marine Corps Air Station Ewa on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Carl, along with the rest of VMF-221 was hurriedly rushed to Hawaii, and then included in the Wake Island Relief Task Force, still aboard the Saratoga. After the relief attempt was canceled, VMF-221 was deployed to Midway Atoll on Christmas Day, 1941. Carl's first combat occurred six months later during the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942, when 15 of the 25 aircraft VMF-221 put into the air that morning were destroyed. Nevertheless, Carl was credited with destroying one enemy aircraft, a Mitsubishi Zero. Along with the other survivors from VMF-221, Carl was flown back to Hawaii shortly after the battle.
Granted a short rest period, Carl was reassigned to Marine Fighting Squadron 223 (VMF-223) commanded by a former squadron mate from VMF-221, Captain John L. Smith. On August 20, VMF-223 was deployed to Guadalcanal, the first fighter unit ashore with the Cactus Air Force. Over the next two months, he became the Marines' first ace, running his tally to 16.5 victories, though he was shot down once and was forced to bail out. It is believed that on August 26 Carl shot down the famous Japanese Navy Tainan Kōkūtai ace Junichi Sasai over Henderson Field. When the squadron left Guadalcanal in October, Carl was America's second-ranking ace behind his commanding officer, Major John L. Smith.
In 1943, then Major Carl returned to the Pacific and led VMF-223 until the following summer. During additional combat in the Solomon Islands, he claimed two more enemy planes, finishing as the Corps' seventh ranking ace with 18.5 victories.

Test pilot[edit]
In 1945, Carl graduated in the first test pilot class at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. As a lieutenant colonel, he conducted pioneering jet operations from aircraft carriers and later commanded VMF-122, the first Marine jet squadron. He was also the first Marine to pilot a helicopter.
In 1947, Carl was one of two pilots selected to fly the Douglas D-558/I Skystreak in record-setting speed attempts. That August, he was recorded at 650 miles per hour (1,050 km/h), establishing a new world record. When Air Force Captain Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in October, he also broke Carl's record.
At Patuxent River on April 1, 1952, Carl had a close brush with death. He was performing a series of check spins in the new Grumman AF-2S Guardian anti-submarine attack aircraft. The anti-spin parachute that had been fitted in earlier tests had been removed. Climbing to 10,000 feet (3,000 m) over Chesapeake Bay, Carl commenced the spin. The aircraft entered a flat spin with strong centrifugal forces. Carl could not break the spin and rode it down to 4,000 ft (1,200 m). He tried to operate the ejection seat, but the face blind ripped away in his hands and the seat failed to fire. He climbed out at 3,000 feet (910 m). He then tried the wind-tunnel approved method of getting out on the inside of the spin, but was forced back due to airflow. He finally got out on the other side and felt his parachute open as he fell into the splash of the aircraft. The success of this proved bailing out on the inside of the spin to avoid being hit by the tail was an incorrect theory.[1]
During a second test pilot tour in 1953, Carl set an unofficial altitude record of 83,000 feet (25,000 m) in the Douglas D-558/II.
Between test pilot duties, Carl commanded other units including a reconnaissance squadron based on Taiwan. In 1954, he led missions over Mainland China, photographing Communist forces along the coast. After his death, a corrupted version of his reconnaissance missions appeared in several obituaries, stating that he had flown U-2 spy planes.
Vietnam War[edit]
Though still a colonel, Carl became Director of Marine Corps Aviation for five months in 1962. Two years later, he was promoted to brigadier general and, in 1965, he took the First Marine Brigade to Danang, South Vietnam. Despite his seniority, he repeatedly flew combat missions in helicopter gunships and jet fighters.
Carl received his second star as a major general in 1967, commanding the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina from 1968 to 1970. He subsequently served as Inspector General of the Marine Corps, until retiring in 1973. At that time, he had logged some 13,000 flying hours, more than twice as much as most contemporaries.
Carl returned to his native Oregon, where he and his wife Edna settled near Roseburg. Marion Carl's memoir, Pushing the Envelope, coauthored with his friend Barrett Tillman, was published in 1994.[2] In 1998, at age 82, he was shot to death with a shotgun during a robbery, defending Edna from a home invader.[3] Carl was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery.[4]
His murderer, 19-year-old Jesse Fanus, was apprehended one week later. In April 1999, he was convicted on two counts of aggravated murder (and 11 additional felony charge) and sentenced to death. In 2003, his conviction and death sentence was upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court. In December 2011, the sentence was overturned.[5]
Awards and legacy[edit]
His decorations include (having declined any personal medals for service in Vietnam):
- In 1992, he was inducted into the Lancaster Aerospace Walk of Honor.
- On July 21, 2001, Carl was enshrined at Dayton, Ohio, in the National Aviation Hall of Fame class of 2001, along with North American X-15 pilot Joe Engle, USAF ace Robin Olds, and Albert Ueltschi.
- Roseburg Regional Airport, in Roseburg, Oregon, was named the Marion E. Carl Memorial Field in honor of Carl.[6]
- MATSG-23 holds an annual "Mud Run" in honor of Carl at the Naval Air Station, Lemoore, California. The 5-mile run includes mud pits, climbing walls, and other military obstacles to challenge the runners. The 13th Annual Mud Run was held on June 6, 2006.[7][8]
- The airfield at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay was named for Carl.[9]

TELLURIDE, Colo Authorities say a 51-year-old man escaped injury when he crashed his small plane shortly after taking off from the Telluride Airport.
The San Miguel Sheriff's Office says the Crested Butte pilot, whose name has not been released, crashed his single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza A36 turboprop about 200 yards from the runway and only about 30 feet from a steep cliff at about 11 a.m. Sunday.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the crash.
The pilot was the only one onboard the plane.

Vikings Defense Epitomizing Consistency Early In 2010 SeasonPosted by on September 29, 2010 – 6:29 am
With so many different variables leading to ebbs and flows in the Vikings aerial attack along with other personnel finding a rhythm early in the regular season, the Purple are welcoming the bye week to rest and gain extra preparation for a Week 5 Monday night matchup against the New York Jets at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
Yes, the Vikings have shown irregularities throughout the first 3 weeks. But one factor that's been a consistent force is the play of the defense. Through 3 weeks the Vikings defense ranks in the top 5 in points (3rd-12.5 PPG) and yards allowed (5th-276.3 YPG) and also boasts an 8th-ranked passing (189.0 YPG) and rushing (87.3 YPG) defense.
The Purple have prided themselves on a dominant run defense ever since Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress' arrival in 2006. The Lions were the latest team to face this staunch unit, as they were held to a season-low 63 yards rushing in last Sunday's contest – nearly 100 yards less than Vikings RB Adrian Peterson's total for the game (160).
As the run defense continues its stout performance, so has the pass rush.
Obtaining such a balanced defense is one of many reasons the Vikings have yet to allow more than 14 points a game this season. Even with CBs Chris Cook and Cedric Griffin out for the first 2 weeks, the Vikings pass defense allowed only 237 yards against the pass-heavy Saints team in Week 1 and a dismal 114 yards in Week 2 against the Dolphins.
During the Vikings 24-10 victory over the Lions on Sunday at Mall of America Field, the Vikings secondary welcomed back both Cook and Griffin in route to allowing 237 passing yards. After Lions star rookie RB Jahvid Best left the game with a toe injury, Detroit turned one-dimensional with its aerial attack and the Vikings quickly adjusted. Lions QB Shaun Hill was held to a 69.6 passer rating and was intercepted by LB Ben Leber and CB Antoine Winfield late in the game, putting a halt to any sort of comeback.
As the Vikings defense continues to show its consistency in both the run and pass rush, it's well known that everyone needs to stay confident in their specific role with 4 straight games against talented offenses – at New York, home against the Dallas Cowboys and then 2 road games against the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots.
"Going into the bye week you need to get more confidence going," Vikings LB Chad Greenway told reporters after Sunday's victory over the Lions. "Whatever injuries we do have, the bye week will take care of them and now we know the stretch we have coming out of the bye so we need to get at least mentally healthy."

text: FacebookTwitterGoogle+E-mail I wanted to make some comments on the book Made To Stick, as it contains many lessons that Muslims can apply to their da'wah work. The book is built on the SUCCESs checklist for evaluating ideas, Simplicity Unexpectedness Concreteness Credibility Emotion Stories Before beginning, it's important to make a distinction: The purpose of this point is not to use this book to somehow validate or prove what we know from Islam. Rather, it is quite the opposite. I would like to show how the principles this book has proven to be reliable and successful actually draw their roots from Islam. It's a beneficial book because it is hard to see these ideals extracted and presented in an organized manner. It will insha'Allah increase our iman by showing us another side of our universal deen, and give us some tips on how to better improve our daw'ah efforts and community organizations. They are also extremely useful as teaching and communication methods – something essential for all of us. The book offers some examples of 'sticky' ideas, such as urban legends, or the golden rule (do unto others as you want others to do unto you). These are ideas that are simple, profound, and most importantly, they have staying power with their audience. Put it this way, think of the last 10 khutbah's you heard, and how many of the things communicated have actually stuck with you, compared to everything that didn't. Or compare it to a succinct piece of advice you received at some point in your life. I think you get the picture now. Simplicity In Islam we have narrations from the Sahabah saying basically to "speak to your audience at their level." The height of eloquence is attained when a message can be delivered such that it is understood by all without ambiguity. People, often 'experts' or advanced academics, are often misled by their own knowledge and lose the ability to communicate with people at a basic level. In the book, this is referred to by the authors as the "curse of knowledge" (I don't agree with that terminology but as I am reviewing the book I will refer to it as they did for now). Simple often carries the connotation of dumbing things down, or making things too easy. This is not the case, simple means elegance and prioritization. Take Southwest Airlines for example, their company motto is to be THE lowest-fare airline. Period. It is not dumb, but it is simple. It is a philosophy by which the entire company can be governed, and business decisions made based on that principle. A simple message is core and compact. What's a simple message in Islam? Worship Allah alone without any partner. It is simple. It is profound. It is a principle that governs your entire life. It is eloquent. It sticks with you. Unexpected Part of the problem of communication is getting people's attention. Sometimes it takes something unexpected to make people perk up. The most common way of getting attention is to break a pattern people are used to. In the book they give a story of a Journalism teacher who tested his students by reeling off a list of facts: "Kenneth L. Peters, the principal of Beverly Hills High School, announced today that the entire high school faculty will travel to Sacramento next Thursday for a colloqium in new teaching methods. Among the speakers will be…" He then asked them to write a lead for this story. All the students came up with the general leads that you can expect. Think in your own head for a minute, how would you approach presenting this topic? After reading the leads from the students, the teacher set them aside, paused, and announced, "The lead to the story is, 'There will be no school next Thursday.'" The reason that this worked was because he made the students commit to their schema of understanding Journalism first, then yanked the rug out from under their feet. Unexpected. Sticky. Some other ways of accomplishing this are to start with a mystery, or create a 'gap' of knowledge and then answer it. Think about all the cliffhangers you see in TV News promos, or SportsCenter intros. Highlight something specific people don't know. One of my teachers did this to me by confronting me with a question, "What does the 'al' in alhamdu lillahi Rabb il-'Alameen" stand for? So by creating a specific gap in my knowledge, he had my attention. I thought I knew what Fatihah meant, but he confronted me with something specific I did not know. He broke my schema of understanding. Then when he explained the different interpretations of it, he had my attention, and now alhamdulillah I remember what he said. This is an especially pertinent example because I know for a fact that I have read or listened to discussions on this very issue before, but it was not something I could recall as easily as I can from what I learned in this encounter. Concrete An example of something concrete would be things along the lines of Aesop's Fables. Think, the boy who cried wolf, or 'sour grapes.' If you have something you can imagine with your senses, it is concrete. A V8 engine is concrete, but"high-performance" is not. An example of this is the hadith, "The example of a scholar ('alim) who teaches the people good and forgets himself is the of a lantern that provides light to people while burning itself out." It is visual, appealing to the senses, and it strikes an analogy that sticks. We find the use of many vivid parables in the Qur'an as well. Concrete ideas have a direct correlation with being workable. When Boeing prepared to launch the 727 in the 60's, they set a concrete goal: it must seat 131 passengers, and fly non stop from Miami to NYC and land on the Runway 4-22 at La Guardia (chosen because at the time it was too short for existing passenger jets). Contrast this with if they had simply said, "build the best passenger plane in the world." We have to utilize this in our approach to da'wah. We can't just "make da'wah" or hope to "spread knowledge." These are just empty phrases that in reality don't mean much. How do you go about recruiting volunteers to spread knowledge? What if you came up with an idea like, distributing 500 CD's with a lecture on the blessings of seeking knowledge? Wouldn't it be easier to accomplish because it is concrete, and easier to get people to help you out with? It is well defined and has a purpose that is visual. I am thoroughly convinced that its these types of empty slogans that have led to the failure of many organizations (both Islamic and otherwise). There is no solid goal in mind for people to achieve. AlMaghrib classes are another good example. The goal is not to just get a bunch of people to sign up for a seminar, but you have a goal. We will not stop working until 200 people are signed up for our seminar. That's a concrete goal. Credible What makes people believe ideas? First it is usually because or parents or friends believe something, or because of our personal experiences. For Muslims it is often our certainty in faith in Allah and what He has revealed. For others, it may be their religious beliefs as well. The point being, when you try to sell a new idea to someone, those are the forces one is up against. Authorities are another obvious source of credibility. If the FDA approves a new medication, usually we somehow feel safer that it's ok to take it. If Oprah likes a book, millions of people will go buy that book because they consider her to be a credible source. We trust their recommendations. Details are a very powerful form of adding credibility. In 1986 Jonathan Shedler and Melvin Manis created an experiment to simulate a trial. Two sets of subjects playing the jurors were given a fictitious script of a trial to read regarding a Mrs. Johnson and her fitness as a mother. The two scripts had the same arguments, 8 for and 8 against, and were very balanced. The only difference in the two scripts was the level of detail. In one group, the 8 arguments in favor were given vivid details, and the arguments against were not. For the other group it was the opposite. An example being in one argument it said in her favor, "Mrs. Johnson sees to it that her child washes and brushes his teeth before bedtime." In the 'vivid' one, it added, "He uses a Star Wars toothbrush that looks like Darth Vader." After testing the arguments with and without the details to make sure they had the same perceived importance. The details were designed to be irrelevant to the judgment of Mrs. Johnson's worthiness. They found that the details with the vivid arguments more directly impacted the judgment of the jurors. The details boosted the credibility of the argument even though they should not have mattered. If I can mentally see the Darth Vader toothbrush, its easier to picture the boy diligently brushing his teeth in his bedroom, thus reinforcing that Mrs. Johnson is a good mother. Emotional It is important to make a personal appeal to a person's emotions. They must be given a reason to care. If the reaons are statistical or analytical, people tend to become less reactive because now they are thinking analytically rather than emotionally. It makes people care. Stories Benefits, stimulation, and inspiration are geared to generating action. Credible ideas make people believe, and emotional ideas make people care. Stories, make people act. Stories are powerful because they provide the context missing from abstract prose. The velcro theory says that the more 'hooks' something has, the more it will stick. Stories can build emotion, historical background, and many other elements to give an idea context. This makes it stickier. Is it any surprise then that 1/3 of the Qur'an is stories of the other civilizations and Prophets? Think about the story of Yusuf (as). We relate unto you (Muhammad SAW) the best of stories through Our Revelations unto you, of this Qur'an. And before this (i.e. before the coming of Divine Inspiration to you), you were among those who knew nothing about it (the Qur'an). (12:3) And, Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding. It (the Qur'an) is not a forged statement but a confirmation of the Allah's existing Books [the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel) and other Scriptures of Allah] and a detailed explanation of everything and a guide and a Mercy for the people who believe. (12:111) Take another example of a successful story in our times. Jared, the Subway guy. The ad campaign featuring him losing weight by eating at Subway was significantly more successful than their previous "7 subs under 6 grams of fat" campaign. The story is concrete. It is credible (he took upon the diet on his own). It is unexpected – losing weight by actually eating fast food? Conclusion Some of this may seem really obvious. The SUCCESs checklist isn't something that after reading it you are like oh wow I didn't know that. We do know these things, but we haven't brought them together in our heads. Take the story of Jared, it contained many elements of the checklist, but was still rejected initially by corporate marketing 'experts' at Subway. I hope that you enjoyed reading this post. The book is really enjoyable to read, and it contains many valuable lessons, especially for those involved in da'wah work.

Posted by Brent on 3/3/2014 3:45:00 PM.
Warsaw is a little bleak this time of year, as I discovered on avisit to the Polish capital last week. Expeditions that look straightforward onpaper may turn arduous. On my first day, I set out for the Chopin Museum,which appeared to be a twenty-minute walk from my hotel. The temperature waswell below freezing, the wind off the Vistula invasive, thesidewalk glazed with ice. After a few blocks, I felt the need to take refuge,and followed several elderly women into Holy Cross Church, on Krakowskie Przedmieście, one of Warsaw�s main thoroughfares. Sitting in a pew, I looked to myleft and saw, on one of the church�s pillars, the legend �HERE RESTS THE HEART OF FREDERICK CHOPIN.� After a moment of confusion, I remembered a story fromthe Chopin biographies: in his last days, in Paris, the supreme poet of the piano had asked that his heart bebrought back to his native land. So while Chopin�s body rests at P�re Lachaise,in the company of Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison, his heart resides at HolyCross, in the first big pillar on the left. I made a note to look up the storywhen I got home. The definitive chronicle is by the Polish journalist AndrzejPettyn. There is also �Chopin�s Heart,� a book by the American physician StevenLagerberg.
Thewoman who set the saga in motion was Ludwika Jędrzejewicz, Chopin�s eldestsister, who heard and recorded his curious request for dismemberment. She sawto it that the heart was preserved in a hermetically sealed crystal jar filledwith an alcoholic liquid, possibly cognac. That vessel was, in turn, encased inan urn made of mahogany and oak. In early 1850, a few months after herbrother�s death, Jędrzejewicz smuggled the assemblage into Poland, hiding it under her cloak in order to elude theattentions of Austrian and Russian inspectors. In 1879, it was placed in itspresent position at Holy Cross. A memorial slab bore a citation of the Book ofMatthew: �Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.�
AsJędrzejewicz must have anticipated, the erection of a memorial at Holy Crosssoon acquired political resonance. For decades, it was the only public monumentto Chopin that tsarist authorities permitted in the city, and it drew covertdisplays of nationalist fervor. When Poland achieved independence, in 1918, the site became an openshrine. �All our past sings in him, all our slavery cries in him, the beatingheart of the nation, the great king of sorrows,� the cleric Antoni Szlagowskiintoned, in 1926. While Chopin believed strongly in the idea of a Polishnation, such sentiments might have made him uncomfortable; in one of hisletters, he dismissed as �nonsense� the idea that Poles would one day be asproud of him as Germans are of Mozart.
Duringthe German occupation of Poland, the heart was nearly lost. Conscious of Chopin�s symbolicpower, the Nazis prevented performances of his music and destroyed a statuethat had been erected in his honor in 1926. (Hans Frank, the Governor Generalof Poland, later allowed Chopin to be played as long as his name wasgiven as �Schopping.�) During the Warsaw Uprising, battles raged around HolyCross, and the building suffered heavy damage. In the midst of the fighting, aGerman priest named Schulze asked his Polish counterparts whether they wouldlet him take the heart into safekeeping. After a discussion, the priestsagreed. The urn passed into the hands of Heinz Reinefarth, a high-ranking S.S.officer who professed to be a Chopin admirer. For the remainder of theuprising, the heart was kept at the headquarters of Erich von demBach-Zelewski, the infamously brutal commander of German forces in the region.
Oncethe uprising had been suppressed, Bach-Zelewski made a show of returning theurn to Polish hands. It was, Andrzej Pettyn proposes, a �gesture aimed atreducing his own fault and present himself to the world in a more favorablelight.� A film crew was summoned to record the transfer of the heart toSzlagowski, who had since become the archbishop of Warsaw. At the crucial moment, though, spotlights that had beenset up to illuminate the scene malfunctioned, and, as the story goes,Szlagowski muttered thanks to God that the Nazis� propaganda spectacle had beenspoiled. Not surprisingly, this grisly charade failed to erase memories of themass slaughter of Polish civilians. (Anyone who is reminded here of the plot of�The Pianist� might be interested to know that Halina Szpilman, the widow ofWładysław Szpilman, who inspired the Polanski film, is alive and well inWarsaw; I met her at a concert by the Sinfonia Iuventus.)
Thepriests of Holy Cross took the urn with them to Milan�wek, outside of Warsaw. Fearing that the Germans would change their minds, theyhid it. For the first time in decades, the container was disassembled and theorgan itself glimpsed. It was �incredibly big,� one observer recalled. On October 17, 1945, the ninety-sixth anniversary of Chopin�s death, the heartwent back to Holy Cross. White and red flags flew along the route, and massesof people gathered to pay their respects. By the time the car carrying therelic reached Warsaw, Pettyn relates, it was heaped high with flowers.
Chopin�sheart remains an object of fascination and dispute. In 2008, a team of scholarsasked for permission to subject it to a DNAanalysis, in order to test a theory that Chopin died not of tuberculosis, aswas long believed, but of cystic fibrosis. (That might explain the largeness ofthe heart.) The Polish government refused therequest. Indeed, it seems right to let the heart rest in peace for along while.
Inall likelihood, the composer of the �Revolutionary Etude� has no further roleto play on the political stage, but he retains a high profile in his nativeland. When, at the end of my stay, I got into a taxi, the driver asked,�Chopin?� He meant, of course, the airport.

It goes up to a high point of 6,400 ft and then back down to 5.900 ft... all before the turn around. It is not a lot of elevation gain, but there is alot of up and down.This is a challenging course with 95% of it on dirt trails. Dogs and strollers are not allowed. This course has amazing views, possibly wildlife viewing and a mountain feel to it right here in Highlands Ranch. We race rain or shine or snow!

Love at the Beach
Photography by Ti Leaf Photography
me: Dress: Target / turtleneck: H&M / tights: Similar / booties: similar / lipstick: Chili by MAC
Nate: sweater: similar / shirt: express / pants: Gap / shoes: Steve Madden similar
My sister took these pictures of Nate and I over Christmas break in California. I love her style and she is so good at capturing sweet, candid moments. I am so happy with the way the pics turned out. If you are looking for a photographer in ID/UT check her out.
Ps I am loving the look of a flare dress with a shirt under it. I love putting a turtleneck or plaid shirt under my dresses for winter and plan on switching it up to a crisp white button up for spring and summer. Check out some more cute options to replicate this look on your own below

Reviews for We'll Grind That Axe For A Long Time LyricsPerformed by Pantera
Add Your New Review About The Song
EPIC | Reviewer: gamer3425 | 4/17/10
One of the many reasons why I respect this band is because they NEVER sold out. Then of course there's Dime, but the fact that they stayed true to themselves for 22 years is just worthy of anyone's respect. LONG LIVE PANTERA!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Dime. We miss you man.

Communities are having to come to grips with the costs involved of protecting their citizens. Some communities are trying to cut costs by having non police dept technicians collect evidence at crime scenes. There is also talk of privatizing some segments of police work, such as traffic enforcement and other non violent crime areas.
Some communities are getting rid of their local departments of police and fire altogether, finding them too expensive to maintain, they are sub contracting with regional sheriff and fire depts to serve their needs. Many communities are now using private fire fighting services and considering using private security companies to provide basic protections.
All of this doesn't bode well to the citizen that think instant help will be there with a 911 call. In many cases when danger is seconds away, the police are just minutes away and the difference between you living to be able to defend yourself in court, or dying and being carried away in a casket....is your right to bear fire arms.
There will be calls for tighter gun controls because of the Trayvon Martin shooting, but more restrictions only give the criminals a bigger advantage. Look at the cities with the tightest gun controls, it doesn't put a dent in the criminals owning guns. As a result citizens feel the need to enhance their security with more neighborhood watches and by purchasing fire arms for their personal protection.
