Nickelodeon Yanks Legend Of Korra Off TV, Shoves It Online
Y'know just today my whole family sat back to enjoy the last few episodes of Legend of Korra on our Tivo and EVERY time commercials showed up I repeated out-loud 'thank god my kids don't watch the other Nickelodeon shows' because everything looked like such ridiculous devoid-of-quality crap. Hearing Disney Channel blaring on the tvs in my house bugs me a lot, but compared to most Nickelodeon shows, they are AMC (wait, does Disney own AMC yet? I need to do some Walking Dead pin swapping!). I digress.
Legend of Korra, Nickelodeon was beneath you anyway.
We STILL seem to have a RANDOM ARCHIVE GLITCH where clicking on the next comic will take you to the next comic page, but oddly display a comic from a totally different date. Hitting Refresh sometimes helps. We're working on it!
HEAD'S UP: I'm looking forward to Contra-26 in Kansas City this November! Hope to see you there!

The town was settled about 1713 and named (1832) for the American statesman and orator Daniel Webster. It was noted for its early textile mills, established in 1811. The arrival of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad in 1840 spurred further industrial development. The economy is now diversified.

EA Joins Steam with Spore, Mass Effect, and More; Dead Space, Mirror's Edge Coming SoonPublisher Electronic Arts today officially joined Valve's digital distribution network Steam, with major EA titles such as Spore, Mass Effect, and Warhammer Online all now available for digital purchase through the service.
Recent EA releases such as Dead Space and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 are also listed under the Steam "Coming Soon" section, along with the January 13th-due PC release of Mirror's Edge.
Mass Effect is selling for $29.99, while Spore carries its standard retail price of $49.99. A bizarre package including Europa Universalis: Rome Gold Edition and Spore was briefly listed for only $22, but was quickly removed--an apparent error on Steam's part.
Other EA games available on Steam include the Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack ($20), FIFA Manager 09 ($40), and Need for Speed Undercover ($40).
The games are apparently available without the controversial SecuROM DRM they initially shipped with. Though Steam specifies SecuROM DRM for titles such as Ubisoft's Far Cry 2, the product pages for EA-published games do not list any third-party DRM. Shacknews has contacted Valve for confirmation.
The news is not unexpected, as the EULA agreement for Spore was found on the Steam website earlier this week.
Internally-developed EA games had previously only been available for digital download via the publisher's own online store.
Thanks to lealwai for the heads up.

I have been being silent on the MOMO and Polk Audio "bashing" if you will because mainly I haven't had too many chances outside of a store to hear any of the new stuff.
But my personal experience with Polk, aside from the administration of these forums, has been quite pleasant and rewarding.
Polk built thier name with the Monitor series of home speakers for being affordable yet offering amazing sound. Then they went whole-hog on the SDA/SRT systems and really earned some respect in the home audio world and are still highly respected in that sense.
Around the time the SDA/SRT speakers were out, Polk started selling the MM series. The ORIGINAL MM (not MOMO) series which, if I am not mistaken, stood for Mobile Monitor and used the same driver technology from the Monitor series of home speakers but ruggedized for car use. While they weren't power handling monsters, they had finesse in a world of audio thunderers and at the time, they were the only ones that went for sound quality at an affordable price. The first time I ever really heard of Polk was when listning to a set of MM 3 way components in a friend's car. I was so impressed I didn't want to leave the car! I had to find out more! So I researched and found Polk Audio being sold by Crutchfield. I started getting all the info I could about them and ended up making my very first car audio speaker purchase a set of EX 4 inch speakers for my Ranger pickup. Since then, every vehicle I have owned has used at least 1 pair of Polk Audio speakers.
After owning the EX, I saw a much more expensive dB series speaker from Polk Audio. These were along the lines of the MM series but instead of the the Monitor series of speakers, Polk took thier award winning Dynamic Balance (which is what dB really stands for) technology for thier RT series of speakers for the home. RT stands for Reference Theater and the same speakers used in those units are what is used in the SRT-9000 system which uses 35 active Dynamic Balance drivers for the most incredible sound I have ever heard from a speaker aside from the magnetic planar techonology. BTW, SRT stands for Signature Reference Theater and it is what made Polk Audio a player in the market rather than just an also ran.
So these snazzy and very expensive dB speakers were basically the very best Polk had to offer. They were expensive at over 300 bucks for just mid-bass drivers. Yes, Polk Audio did have seperat emid-bass drivers in 4, 5.25 and 6.5 inch sizes if I remember correctly. But given thier performance, the only thing close to them was 3 times as much and came from the likes of Focal or what have you. So at 300 bucks, the Polks were still a bargain.
It now saddens me to see that Polk has abandoned totally it's ability to take what works so well for them in the home theater and adapt it to car audio. The dB/Kenwood eXcelon system in my truck sounds spectacular and I am so very glad I jumped at the chance to own a piece of audio history. So many people compliment me and ask me how they can duplicate the sound. It saddens me to say that it is not very possible because the company that made these speakers no longer makes them.
While I understand the fiscal purposes behind making these kind of decisions, I feel that the berating Polk Audio is taking from people is justified. Polk Audio has been known for making a hell of a product for a hell of a price. That's not so true anymore. With the GNX and GXR lines and the forsaking of the well balanced and cheaply priced EX series, I feel that Polk has stepped down a rung on the ladder. Which is fine because quantity makes profits. Quality makes reputations and with all the reputation you want, if people aren't buying cause they can't afford it then there is no profit.
However, I'd like to see a high-end audio line up like the ORIGINAL dB series come out. Not the Polk/MOMO stuff because, it's just not high end. While I liked the EX series, the MOMO series is what the EX series should have been and I'd leave it as a middle of the road line-up. But I'd like to see an all-business line up of high quality components along the lines of the spirit of the original dB's. I know that if Polk offered something like that, I'd snap it up in an instant! Why? Because unlike the punk kids who run around listening to mind-numbing bass at ear-bleeding levels, I have mature tastes in music and audio and I understand that if I want the quality stuff, I have to be willing to fork over the green stuff and I would, if I felt that the product was deserving.
So Polk Audio, take your chastising well. You earned it. These are not the ramblings of extreme loyalists but rather the experienced voice of the car audio world who knows what Polk Audio is capable of because it's what made us fall in love with Polk Audio to begin with. All we are saying is, what happened man? You used to be so great! Now, you're just...good.

Hi Everyone,
Just checking to let you know that all is go for my leg tomorrow, and that I am going to try to get into GSP a little earlier than originally planned, perhaps around 1030.
Jason, if you are able to arrive earlier to deliver Bree that would be great.
Debi, I will have four additional, older pups along for Bree's flight. Normally I do not use crates, but if you think Bree would be more comfortable in one in this situation, I'll take you up on the offer. Thanks!

I did read you FINAL review..before posting my comment..
Don't be so quick to judge next time..
I was mearly commenting on that post about THAT movie, because according to Bluefox if you did not hear that then you must have one of those $599 systems.
so I joined only a month ago..Does that make it any less relevent?
So i'm guessing you spent the $3000 on cables to hear the ring jostle around..

Are the drivers and cabinet of the M70s worthy of a xover upgrade? Would it be like adding a performance exhaust to an econo sedan?
I'm not much of a HT enthusiast, and I think the set-up I have now is great for music. But, will it be noticeably greater with upgraded crossovers?
After doing some thread digging, I find mixed responses in terms of how the power is distributed to the speakers when using a bi-wiring configuration. Do the top two posts pertain to the tweeter only? I was thinking of adding an external amp, and was debating between a stereo amp and a multi-channel depending on whether I decide to bi-wire. I don't see the point of using another two channels if they're going to the tweeters only.

As we ring in the New Year here in Illinois, more than 150 new laws will hit the books, including legislation aimed at increasing employee privacy, a new law that cracks down on parents of underage drinkers and more.
Here's a roundup of just some of 2013's new rules and regulations.
- Facebook/social media privacy: Bosses won't be able to demand access to workers' social media accounts; House Bill 3782 prohibits employers from requiring current or prospective employees to provide account information, including passwords.
- Family fugitive concealment: Relatives who aid and abet family scofflaws will be in hot water themselves; Senate Bill 2520 creates a sub-offense of aiding a fugitive to flee the jurisdiction, targeting family members who try to help criminal suspects avoid apprehension. Illinois is one of 14 states that previously exempted family members from prosecution for harboring or aiding fugitives, no matter how serious the fugitive's crime.
- Caylee's Law: Named for the Florida tot whose death made headlines, Senate Bill 2537 increases penalties for failure to report the disappearance or death of a child ages 13 and younger within 24 hours. The timeline decreases to one hour for children under age 2. The law applies to parents, guardians or caretakers of children younger than 13 who provide false information to law enforcement or other authorities investigating the child's disappearance or death.
- FOID cards: Senate Bill 1034 makes a number of changes to state Firearms Owner Identification (FOID) program laws; the law has been clarified to ensure that people who have been convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence are not issued FOID cards. The law also restricts the issuance of FOID cards to non-Illinois residents and enhances mental health reporting to courts by the Illinois State Police.
- Terrorism: Convicted terrorists will serve longer sentences under House Bill 5121; the law requires anyone convicted of an attempt to commit terrorism to serve 85 percent of his or her sentence, rather than the customary 50 percent.
- Underage drinking parent penalties: Permissive moms and dads beware; House Bill 1554 cracks down on parents who permit underage drinking on property they own. The law makes it a crime to allow underage drinking not only at a parent or guardian's home, but also on property under their control, such as a barn, cabin or boathouse.
- Telephone cramming: House Bill 2111 is aimed at putting a stop to "phone cramming," where people are solicited for free trials, coupons or prizes, but never told they're purchasing a service — until they receive a bill in the form of charges on their phone bill.
- Shark fin ban: Thanks to House Bill 4119, Illinois residents will be prohibited from possessing, selling, trading, distributing or trying to sell a shark fin on or after Jan. 1, 2013.
- Open meetings: Under House Bill 4687, public bodies will be required to take "reasonable steps" to ensure that a copy of all meeting notices and agendas are available for public review during the entire 48-hour period before the meeting.
- No wheelies: Lead-footed motorcyclists found guilty of doing wheelies will have to pay up: Senate Bill 3452 will impose a $1,000 fine for driving a motorcycle on one wheel while speeding. The law also dictates that handlebars can be no higher than the driver's head (current law sets the bar at the driver's shoulders).
- Police DUI funding: House Bill 5021 will allow Secretary of State Driving Under the Influence Fund money to be used for police officer salaries and other items; previously, the money could only be used for equipment.
- Adoptions: The process of adopting a child could be expedited under certain circumstances; under House Bill 4028, unnecessary delays will be eliminated in cases where a child is currently residing with the adoptive parent(s) and all parties have consented to the adoption. It also updates DCFS forms to recognize civil unions.
- Veteran ID designation: Senate Bill 2837 adds a veteran designation on ID cards issued by the Secretary of State, including driver's licenses.
- Gold Star parents: "Gold Star" mothers and fathers through adoption will now be allowed admittance to an Illinois veterans home, should vacant beds exist. Gold Star parents are parents of service members killed during active duty.

Equality has nothing to do with it; it's all about money and sponsorships.
The IOC refused to introduce women's ski jumping event though that proposed event would have many more competitve countries.
Women's hockey has turned out to be the biggest niche sport of all.It has been between Canada and the US since its inception. It's a challenge for many other competing countries to even field a team, whereas these two countries have regular leagues. The IOC was sold a bridge in Brooklyn regarding the introduction of this sport to the Olympics. They were lead to believe that it was a fully contested competitive sport . It's such a waste of ice time , Olympic housing , and medals.

It took me a while to warm up to Maria Butyrskaya, but over the years I came to appreciate her elegant, mature skating that trumped triple jumps (and she could land those too, including a 3 lutz from the correct edge).
Her 1999 worlds LP Otonal is one of my favorite performances.
I also loved her 2001 worlds LP performance to Seventeen moments in spring, which I saw live in Calgary. Unfortunately the judges placed Sarah Hughes higher than her.
Her SP at 2000 worlds is one of the most elegant performances ever.
I miss this kind of mature, elegant skating, even though her jumps did not always have smooth landings.

For many otherwise healthy men, impotence can be an infrequent source of embarrassment and mild concern. But for some men with diabetes, impotence is a painful fact of daily life. The cause: diabetic neuropathy, a nerve disorder that can disrupt the neural pathways responsible for creating and sustaining an erection.
You've Got Nerves
Neuropathy derails the brain signals that would normally speed along the nerves from the spinal cord to the erectile tissue of the penis. These nerve messages normally release nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes arteries in the penis, which allows increased blood flow and makes erection possible. Neuropathy also disrupts the "erection messages" that are sent from the penis to the brain—for example, during physical stimulation of the penis.
In other words: a communication breakdown. And that means no sex.
According to the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse, diabetic neuropathy can occur at any time, although the chances of it developing rise the longer a person has diabetes. It usually develops over a period of years and initially shows no symptoms. The risk of neuropathy appears to be more common in smokers, people over age 40, and those who have had problems controlling their blood glucose levels. Researchers believe that diabetic neuropathy is likely caused by a combination of factors including: metabolic problems (eg, high blood glucose), damage to blood vessels, genetics, and lifestyle factors (eg, smoking, alcohol use).
Get a Diagnosis
Neuropathy isn't the only cause of impotence in men with diabetes. Many people who have had diabetes for a long time also have vascular disease, which may diminish the flow of blood to the penis. In addition, hormonal imbalances, side effects of medications, and other physical problems unrelated to diabetes can all lead to impotence. And the causes of erectile dysfunction go beyond physical well-being. Psychological stress, too, can be a factor. Simply living with diabetes can be stressful enough in itself to affect sexual performance.
Your doctor will gather information by performing a physical exam and a taking a thorough patient history. Blood tests may also be done to look for other medical problems contributing to the erection problems.
Consider Seeing a Specialist
In many cases, general practitioners are capable of diagnosing and treating erectile dysfunction in their patients with diabetes. In some cases, however, it may be necessary to consult a specialist who focuses on sexual dysfunction.
Speak Up
Patients also need to remember that a doctor is not a mind reader. Unless a physician has a complete picture of a man's situation—no matter how embarrassing that picture may be to the patient—he will be ill-equipped to recommend a solution.
What might be perceived as impotence may actually be the result of natural physical changes that occur as we age. While advanced age does not automatically lead to sexual dysfunction, many older men find it takes more time or effort to initiate and complete the act of sex. For example, failing to get an erection at the sight of a sexual partner may not be impotence at all. It may simply indicate that he needs more tactile, rather than visual, stimulation to achieve an erection. Doctors should be willing and knowledgeable enough to probe for such important details, and patients need to share them.
Treatment Options
Treatment begins by addressing the physical factors that may be contributing to the problem. These may include:
- High blood-glucose levels
- Smoking
- Alcohol intake
- Medications and their dosages
- Low testosterone levels
If psychological factors are contributing to the problem then these will also need to be addressed.
Beyond diabetes-specific concerns, the methods used to treat impotence in the general population are also effective for men with diabetes.
Some approaches include:
- Oral drug therapy, such as vardenafil (Levitra), tadalafil (Cialis), or sildenafil (Viagra)
- Self-injections of erection-producing agents, such as prostaglandin
- Intrapenile doses of prostaglandins (that is, inserting suppository-like capsules into the urethra)
- Vacuum pumps, which use air pressure to draw blood into the penis
- Permanent surgical implants
Thanks to the variety of treatments available, most men who experience impotence due to diabetic neuropathy can find a solution that works. That's something to get excited about.

Responding to an invitation to comment about a document from the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), ACCA welcomes this initiative of the IAASB to improve the report in terms of its usefulness and relevance to shareholders and other interested parties.
Sue Almond, ACCA's Technical Director, said: 'As a result of the global financial crisis the work of auditors is under more scrutiny now more than ever. The report of the auditor is the most visible output of the audit process and we welcome the IAASB initiative to improve its usefulness and relevance, particularly to investors.'
The proposals are for changes to standardised information to improve understanding of the audit and, much more importantly, for a whole new part of auditor reporting termed as Auditor Commentary. This responds to legitimate calls from investors and other stakeholders for more and better information to underpin the 'pass or fail' opinion from the auditors.
ACCA has carried out a body of work on the future of and value of audit and has assisted the IAASB in its outreach activities to help ensure that the eventual changes to ISAs are firmly based on evidence of stakeholder needs.
Robert Stenhouse, Chairman of the ACCA Global Forum for Audit and Assurance, said: 'This is potentially the biggest change to audit proposed in a generation and has therefore been the focus of the ACCA Global Forum for Audit and Assurance for a long time now. Although challenges were identified, overall we are generally supportive of the proposals. It is not just a matter of including more in the auditor's report; the dialog about that between auditors and preparers will have a new dimension to it and could lead to significant improvements in financial reporting.'
Ms Almond concluded: 'The ultimate test is whether, with the benefit of hindsight, the changes now being proposed would have addressed the extreme events at the root of the financial crisis. We think reporting as is now proposed could have helped alert stakeholders to the truth of an entity's financial position.'

I think you all know by now that I'm into all things billowy and shapeless, but I swear if I hear one more person tell me that plus size girls need to show off their curves, I'm going to scream (especially when they're readers of my blog)! I know I've said it a million times, but apparently I will need to continue saying it until I'm blue in the face: I DO NOT CARE ABOUT FASHION "RULES." Yes, I'm into trends and mainstream stuff, but when it comes to "dressing for your body" or whatever, everything goes out the window. Nothing is off limits for me, whether I'm dressing myself or styling a plus size model, so please no more "but...but...but…you need a belt! You must enhance the waist!" discussions, okay? I'm fully aware I look like a fat girl in a tent, and I'm 100% content with it, thank you very much. (For the record, I'm referring to in-person convos I've had, not to you wonderful commenters!)
Okay, sorry for the rant. Clearly I have some pent-up frustration about this topic. On to the pictures!

© 2014 Specialized Bicycle Components. All rights reserved.
As the name would imply, XC (cross country) race wheels are about going fast. The wheel of choice for Specialized Racing riders on the World Cup circuit, the light weight leads to quick acceleration, lateral stiffness makes for snappy handling, while torsional stiffness counteracts brake wind-up.
Every trail rider—whether new to singletrack or seasoned adventurer —can feel the difference of better wheels. Roval XC trail wheels are a versatile choice, hitting that sweet spot between light weight and high durability.
Wheels designed to conquer the most technical terrain require the highest level of technology. These wheels need to be built to withstand high-speed runs through rock gardens and trail "features" that would give many riders pause.
If you ride in a pack at high speed or stick your nose into a stiff headwind for any length of time, you'll appreciate wheels engineered for aerodynamic efficiency. Extensive testing—in the wind tunnel and on the road—has helped us build wheels for real world performance
Many of us need one set of high performance road wheels to handle all kinds of conditions: climbing/descending, windy/calm, and rolling/flat. These are your go-to wheels when weight and versatility are critical.
What qualifies as a "road" is often up for debate. Not all are paved. Some would be better off if they weren't paved at all. If your rides take you over rough asphalt, dirt roads, or double- track, you need wheels built to be bombproof and hold true on a variety of road surfaces.
Every moving part will eventually wear out. Mishaps occur. Wheels get stolen (hate to say it, but it happens). These high-value, reliable wheels will get your mountain bike rolling again.
The "P" in "P.Bikes" stands for "Progressive". Pushing the limits and throwing new tricks in MTB and BMX requires wheels that withstand punishment and will keep rolling smoothly.

The weekend is almost upon us. May yours be as fun and exciting as an endless stream of sharp news, snappy headlines, and witty comments from Faylor, Alice, Garnett, Jeff, and the rest of the Shack.
In case you missed it, here's a taste of all the fun and excitement we had today:

Republican Sen. Scott Brown should focus on the economy during the final stretch of his campaign to fend off Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren's rise in the polls: that's the main finding of this week's Red Commonwealth survey of influential Massachusetts Republicans.
Three polls by three separate polling organizations showing Warren ahead of Brown – but barely – were released early last week.
Further illustrating how tight the race has become, hours after Patch sent the survey out to Massachusetts Republicans, another poll by UMass Lowell and the Boston Herald showed Brown ahead of Warren by 6 points, with a 5.5 percent margin of error, after an UMass Lowell/Herald poll nine months ago had Warren leading by 7.
A majority of influential Massachusetts Republicans surveyed, 58.6 percent, said that Warren's reported rise in the polls is most likely attributable to a post-Democratic National Convention bump that energized Democrats and left-leaning independents, while a few questioned the validity of the polls themselves.
Those surveyed were split on the efficacy of Brown's get-out-the-vote organization compared to Warren's, with 34.5 percent saying it's "somewhat worse" than Warren's, 27.6 saying "no advantage for either," 13.8 percent saying "somewhat better" and 17.2 percent saying "much better."
Focus on Obamacare and Medicare with Seniors, Economy with Women
Warren led Brown among voters 65 and older by 63-35 in the poll results released last week by Western New England University (WNEU)'s Polling Institute. Asked what they would recommend the Brown campaign do to increase support among seniors, many of the influential Massachusetts Republicans who responded to the survey said Brown should focus on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, colloquially known as Obamacare, and Medicare.
"Drive home the point that Obamacare must be repealed in order to void the billions of dollars taken from Medicare in order to pay for Obamacare & that Brown – not Warren – will carry out that fight," one respondent wrote.
The WNEU poll also showed Brown leading Warren among male voters 49-44, while Warren led among female voters in the same poll 55-40. Asked which strategy Brown should focus on regarding the gender gap, 62.1 percent said that Brown should try to make gains among female voters.
Asked how Brown could win over more female voters, respondents said that the incumbent should push back against the 'War on Women' theme used by Warren's campaign and continue to define himself as "pro-choice," while many said that the senator should look past demographic issues and focus on the economy, jobs and tax policies that affect everyone equally.
"I am a woman, but I'm far more sophisticated, as most women are, to buy into belittling 'women's issues,'" one respondent wrote. "We, men and women, are concerned about the economic future of ourselves and our country. That unites all of us."
Economy Should Take Precedence
Asked what should be the primary issue that Brown should focus on during the final stretch of the campaign, a number of survey respondents said that Brown should go after Warren for her public image, which one respondent described as "an arrogant, lecturing, smarter-than-you college professor," and for her views described as "radicalism" and "extreme Leftist, anti-business."
However, most of the Mass. Republicans surveyed said that the economy should take precedent, with Brown contrasting his views with Warren's.
"We need jobs, we need to cut the size of government," one respondent wrote. "We need to get the deficit and debt under control. We need to stop demonizing job creators and investors. And we need lower taxes that will in turn produce economic growth and will result in an increase in revenues."
Brown and Warren had their first debate of four last week and almost all of the respondents leaned towards the debates deciding the race, with 62.1 somewhat agreeing it would be the deciding factor in the race and 31 percent strongly agreeing.
With regard to polling numbers, one respondent cautioned to view any results before the election with a skeptical eye.
"Keep in mind how the Boston Globe poll had Brown written off as a 15-point loser a week ahead of the special election in January 2010," the respondent wrote. "The only poll that really counts takes place on Nov. 6."
Red and Blue Commonwealth Survey
Our surveys are not a scientific, random sample of any larger population, but rather an effort to listen to a group of influential local Republican and Democratic activists, party leaders, candidates and elected officials in Massachusetts. All of these individuals have agreed to participate in Massachusetts' Patch surveys, although not all responded to this story's questions. Answers have been edited for style, but not for content.
Patch will be conducting Red Commonwealth and Blue Commonwealth surveys throughout the 2012 election season in hopes of determining the true sentiment of conservatives and progressives on the ground in Massachusetts. If you are an activist, party leader or elected official and would like to take part in periodic surveys that last just a few minutes, contact Associate Regional Editor Daniel DeMaina at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Well I am putting together another 2 channel system and have decided to have the best of both worlds. Here is a link to my first attempt back in April. http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/show...done-with-pics
I did as a question about vinyl here in this thread http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/show...tally-clueless!!! but I kinda got talked out of doing the turntable and talked into buying a cheapo crap one because I am not worthy lol Well I am just goingto wing it and do as I always do and go with my gut,take a chance and hope it all works out great.
I wana buy a really good looking turntable but something better than the audioblock ps 100 model but dang thats a beauty. So I will go back to tube mono blocks as my tube integrated is not doing it for me. I will also need a nice cartridge, a phono stage, a tube pre amp and more ac cables and pricey ic's. I will be using a new ps audio perfectwave mk1 upgraded to mk2 status with the network bridge that I may have to buy a tablet with and a musicserver.
For cables I wont change, as they are awesome. The 1 meter wireworld platinum usb, wireworld gold eclipse seapker cables along with 3 pairs of platinum eclipse ic's and 5 wireworld electra ac cables.
For a super charge I am going to treat the listening enviroment with acoustic panels as those cables mentioned retail for $21050 so I wana get the most out of them dang it!!

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease that often affects the lungs. It is caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Every year there are about nine million cases worldwide. If you are planning to travel abroad, how can you reduce your risk of TB?
What Is the Risk to Travelers?
If you are an international traveler, you may be at an increased risk for contracting TB because:
- You may be visiting countries where TB is prevalent.
- Your mode of transportation is a confined area (such as an airplane), where you may share air space with someone who has active TB.
The World Health Organization lists profiles for the 22 high burden countries that account for 80% of all new TB cases each year. The countries are:
- India
- China
- Indonesia
- Nigeria
- South Africa
- Bangladesh
- Ethiopia
- Pakistan
- Philippines
- Democratic Republic of Congo
- Afghanistan
- Brazil
- Cambodia
- Kenya
- Mozambique
- Myanmar
- Russian Federation
- Thailand
- Uganda
- United Republic of Tanzania
- Vietnam
- Zimbabwe
How Is TB Transmitted?
When someone with active TB coughs, the bacteria are transmitted through the air and may be inhaled by people nearby. TB is more likely to spread from person-to-person in enclosed places because:
- Water droplets carrying the bacteria are more widely dispersed outdoors
- Ultraviolet radiation from the sun kills TB
Fortunately, exposure to TB bacteria does not automatically mean the disease will develop. If you have a normal immune system, your body's defenses will immediately build a "fortress" around the bacteria. This may keep TB dormant in your body for years, possibly a lifetime. If the bacteria remain inactive, a person is considered infected, but does not have active tuberculosis and cannot infect others.
TB becomes active and symptomatic when the immune system's fortress can no longer contain the growth of the bacteria. Usually, this happens when the immune system is weakened, due to certain conditions, such as poorly controlled diabetes, HIV, and cancer.
When TB becomes active in the lungs, the body begins to exhibit symptoms, such as:
- Severe cough lasting more than two weeks
- Coughing up blood or sputum (mucus from deep inside the lungs)
- Weakness or fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Night sweats
- Fever
What Are the Testing Guidelines for Travelers?
Screening for TB infection is done with a skin test. In North America, the tuberculin skin test (often called PPD for purified protein derivative) is generally used. A small amount of testing fluid is injected into the skin in the lower part of the arm, and the reaction is measured 2-3 days later.
A positive reaction, characterized by a raised bump, indicates TB infection, but it does not diagnose active disease. A negative reaction indicates the absence of infection; however, if exposure was recent, it is recommended that another skin test be done 8–10 weeks after the time of exposure.
If you are staying for an extended period in a location where TB common, it is recommended that testing be done before leaving and after returning from your trip.
What Is the Treatment?
Preventive Therapy
If you are have a positive skin test results without symptoms, the drug isoniazid may be prescribed for nine months of treatment. Another treatment option is a combination of isoniazid and rifapentine for 12 weeks. Alternative treatments include rifampin for four months, or rifampin plus pyrazinamide for two months.
A vaccine for TB, called BCG, is available in many countries, but is not routinely used in the US.
Medicines for Active TB
If you have active TB, your treatment will most likely include a combination of medicines, such as:
- Isoniazid
- Rifampin
- Pyrazinamide
- Ethambutol
- Streptomycin
For active pulmonary TB, you will need to isolate yourself during treatment from coworkers, friends, and family to prevent the disease from spreading.
What Kind of Protection Should You Choose?
There are no simple answers, but risk is lowest in the open air and in situations where your distance from a potentially infected person is greater.
Enclosed environments such as hospitals and prisons should be avoided. If you will be spending time in this type of setting, it may be appropriate to wear a special mask that prevents TB.
Remember that tuberculosis is not exclusively a respiratory disease. It can also be transmitted by unpasteurized milk and milk products. When traveling in regions where TB is common, avoid drinking of unpasteurized or uncooked milk and milk products.
In general, tuberculosis is not easily transmitted. But, international travelers should take preventive measures if they are at heightened risk of exposure.

A new school begins to take shape
Published: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 1:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 25, 2013 at 1:17 p.m.
His school doesn't have a name yet, and the campus must still be refurbished inside and out, but principal Carlos Ulloa is definitely excited at what is going to happen at what is, for now, generically labeled "the school" on Maria Drive.
Ulloa, 44, was hired last week to serve as principal of the Old Adobe School District's new dual immersion language school to be located on what was formerly the campus of Bernard Eldredge Elementary School. The school was closed in 2010 as a cost-reducing measure. The incoming school will have a new name to more accurately reflect its dual language curriculum.
The dual immersion program has been offered at Miwok Valley Elementary School for the last three years, but has outgrown the facilities available at that school. The school will open next fall on the Maria Drive campus with kindergarten through fifth graders. Each year it will grow by one grade level until it becomes a kindergarten through eighth-grade program.
Ulloa is well qualified for his new position. He brings not only 21 years experience as an elementary teacher to his new position, but also a continuing drive to learn: He recently earned his doctorate degree from UCLA. He has worked as a director of curriculum and instruction, parent involvement specialist, middle school assistant principal and elementary school principal.
He started and taught in a dual immersion program in the Escondido Union School District and later was instrumental in founding a district-wide dual immersion program in the San Ysidro School District.
He received his bachelor's degree from San Diego State University in liberal studies with a Spanish bilingual emphasis and a master of education degree from Harvard University before earning his doctorate in educational leadership.
"We had a very rigorous selection process," said Old Adobe District Superintendent Cynthia Pilar. "Mr. Ulloa impressed us greatly. He has great experience in dual immersion programs and as a principal."
The principal isn't the only one eagerly anticipating opening a new school. "Every day I meet children, parents and teachers who are excited about having their own school," he said. "They are excited about a chance to name their school, pick a mascot, choose school colors and all the other things that go with a new school."
Ulloa explained that the dual immersion program starts with a kindergarten class where Spanish is spoken 90 percent of the time. The first-grade class speaks Spanish 80 percent of the time, and the mix continues to change until, by the fourth grade, the class speaks Spanish and English for equal amounts of time.
Ulloa's presence in the Old Adobe School District is a testimony to the success of the dual immersion program. "Opening the new school was based on demand," the new principal said. "The program has grown to the point where we don't have room for so many students (at Miwok Valley)." We are drawing students not only from Petaluma, but from Santa Rosa, Marin County and other areas because of the quality of the program and the support of the parents."
There will be two classes for each grade level, which means, among other things, that the Old Adobe School District, after years of cutbacks, is now in a position to be hiring teachers and staff. Ulloa said the district is going all out to find qualified teachers. "We're not only recruiting in California, but we've gone into Spain and into Latin American countries to find qualified teachers," he said.
Ulloa is no stranger to the Petaluma area. His aunt and uncle, Irene and Fernando Esponda, have lived in the area for 43years and he has a cousin on the Petaluma Police Department. "I envisioned retiring here. I just had an opportunity to come here sooner than I expected," he explained. Although the year is less than a month old, 2013 has already been quite a year for Ulloa. He finished his doctorate dissertation on New Year's Eve and began his new job two weeks later.
Ulloa has an adopted son, 23, who is a musician in Portland, Ore.
He is a published author, with several books in Spanish, and recently published his first children's novel.
Ulloa is Gov. Jerry Brown's appointment to the state Instructional Quality Commission, an appointment that required nine interviews. "It is quite an honor," Ulloa said. "It is something that will benefit my school and our district."

American Health Poor Compared to Other Prosperous Countries
Americans are living longer and in some states, we're becoming fitter. But a new report says our overall health is pretty bad compared to other prosperous countries.
[High calorie burgers are part of a typical fast food diet]
A sweeping study looking at health in 34 countries finds that Americans have poor diets, we smoke too much, we weigh too much and we're living with a lot of disabilities like back pain and mental illness. University of Central Florida Health Services Administration professor Aaron Liberman said health insurance providers and employers need to take a stand on healthy behaviors. "I'll be very specific with you, smoking, if someone smokes, I firmly believe their insurance premium should at least be doubled because the risk of serious disease and ailments to these folks is heightened so considerably," he said.
The study compared the United States to other wealthy countries like Australia- where people are much less likely to become disabled or die prematurely- and yet spend half of what Americans spend on health care. State to state comparisons found that Florida is one of three states that saw major increases in exercise- but across the board U-S obesity is one the rise- with poor diet again being noted as the number one risk factor.
