Additional Info/situation: Roxie was rescued from a high kill shelter in TN and was brought up to NJ this Spring. She had a litter of puppies, but they had died between being pulled and transported. She has been in foster care, and we have found her a wonderful adopter in Florida a month ago. Finding a reputable ground transport has been difficult, and with the trip being 20 plus hours and transports makings 10 driver changes, the risk is too high that she could get lost, stolen or hurt/sick. We are very concerned that her adopter may give up and move on to another dog. She is a wonderful dog, excellent with children (foster home had 3 young children, ages 4, 4 and 6) and anyone who meets her immediately falls in love with her.
Thank you Tony and Cliff for flying Roxie safely to her forever home. We appreciate your kindness and generosity more than you will ever know!!!

Other than the second pair of arms, which really doesn't do much but give them more attacks when they full attack and a few skill bonuses, they're pretty tame for a +2 LA. It's the 3 HD that makes up for it. A Khalterian as a character with only 1 class level would count as a Level 6 character. At least an Ailoran can pull off counting as a Level 4 character with only having it's LA and no racial HD.
The ants are surprisingly hard to make into a realisticly playable race right now. Especially to give them a reasonably low LA. The main issue is how you statted them origionally. You listed them as a Magical Beast. But since they use tools and such they should be more like monstrous humanoids. With their reasonably positive ability score modifiers, the magical gems, a decent amount of racial skill bonuses, natural armor, and their size, the level adjustment is looking to be at least +4, for the WORKERS.
Can I just re-write how they play out and blame evolution on why they're different from the Ants before the end of days?

Now by the end of Oct. I will have the money to go full tilt on upgrades for my SDA 1C's What i really would like is a set of SRS 1.2TL's...LOL But that seems almost imposable. There are never any close by, so i would have to pay for shipping. You also never see them and if you do it's on ebay, and the people are pretty much out of hand on the price and will not ship them no matter what.
My question would be are any of the SRS models (if i can get any one of them 1.2 - 3.1) just heads and tails better then the 1C's ? In the case of the 3.1's I really don't see it. You have 1 extra driver, but 1 less tweeter, with the same 12" pr. Some how i don't see the 3.1's being that much better then the 1C's? If i spend alot of money on upgrades to the 1C's i can't buy a set of SRS.
Should i just keep sitting and waiting, and waiting..etc: On the chance i may find a set of SRS's, OR is there really not a massive amount of difference between the 1C's and the SRS (of any model), and once the upgrades are done, what difference there may have been now becomes very small?

Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager gets release date.
"But why, some say, the Moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? " - US President John F. Kennedy ; 1962.
On July 20th 1969, the Apollo 11 mission successfully landed. For the first time in history, human beings walked on the Moon. The conquest of space that had started a few years after the end of WWII reached its climax with a manned lunar landing. In competition with the USSR, the US gained a decisive advantage when images of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and their lunar exploration module were broadcast on live TV all over the world from the Sea of Tranquillity. President Kennedy won his historic gamble by landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth before the end of the decade. A whole new era of space conquests was opened…
Commander: The Great War is releasing on iPad next week! In order to get you all a bit in the mood for this brilliant strategy title, we have prepared some wallpapers for your iPad. We are all very excited about the upcoming release as Commander: The Great War will bring a game of unprecedented scale to the App Store!

Opinion: How can cities build resilience while avoid eroding it somewhere else?
01 February 2012 | Article
4 Comments | Write a comment
The world is increasingly urban, interconnected and shifting, writes Thomas Elmqvist. The world's 20 fastest growing urban regions are in countries like China, India and Nigeria, not Europe or North America. By 2050, almost three billion more people will live in cities and the world will have undergone the largest and fastest period of urban expansion in all of human history.
Over the last decades there has been increasing recognition that human domination and the rapid development of global urbanism is reshaping the ecology of the entire planet. This rapid urbanization represents major challenges but also opportunities to ensure basic human welfare and a viable global environment.
The opportunity lies in that urban landscapes are the very places where knowledge, innovation, human and financial resources for finding solutions to global environmental problems are likely to be found.
Recent studies indicate that urban biodiversity contributes to multiple ecosystem services that are of great importance for people's well-being. These include reductions in local air pollution and noise; reductions in the urban 'heat island' effect, direct health benefits, and key environments for enhanced public ecological knowledge and awareness of local to global sustainability challenges.
Understanding how urban ecosystems work, how they change, and what limits their performance, can also add to the understanding of ecosystem change, governance and resilience in general in an ever more human-dominated world.
Urban ecosystems, such as urban 'green and blue spaces' may have a crucial role in building the necessary capacity to cope with environmental changes. In many cities, like New York, New Orleans, Berlin, Singapore and Cape Town, investments in tree planting, 'green roofs' and ecological restoration projects are now growing rapidly as part of a low-carbon strategy to increase this capacity to adapt.
We at the Urban Theme at Stockholm Resilience Center of Stockholm University have built an extensive network of research groups in cities around the world, and led a number of interdisciplinary projects. This includes the pan-European project Urban Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (URBES) focused on quantifying and valuing urban ecosystem services and exploring ways in which they could be incorporated into urban planning and policy in a European context.
Our studies have generated important insights into what role informal institutions and civic management play in supporting ecosystem services in urban areas. Such management is non-governmental in character and depends on private and civic interest groups.
We have taken a novel approach of studying ecosystem management under common property rights systems in urban settings and contributed to the concept of 'ecological land-use complementation'—the idea that land uses in urban green areas could interact to support biodiversity when clustered together in different combinations. These approaches analyse the resilience building of urban landscapes and could be viewed as building capacity to deal with ecosystem loss in the face of increased urbanization. They also examine how cities could build resilience without eroding it elsewhere.
Thomas Elmqvist leads the theme 'Urban social-ecological systems and globalization' at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University. This aims to build knowledge around the management, planning, generation/distribution and design of ecosystem services and biodiversity in metropolitan landscapes. The URBES project is being implemented in cooperation with IUCN.

I agree with the prvious comment that there is more undisturbed biodiversity in Asia. The challenge for Europe is to find the balance between urban and industrial development, agriculture and nature conservation. Linking biodiversity rich areas to provide connectivity, is very important in the patchwork of the European landscape.
February 23, 2012 - 14:28
of course, i agree and respect your views but there is yet greater bio-diversity and preserved natural resources in India and some Asian countries compared to Europian countries

State to commuters: No restriping at Marquette Interchange till spring
A one-lane bottleneck on westbound I-794 may be causing most of the traffic backups at the Marquette Interchange in Milwaukee, but the state does not plan to grant commuters' requests to reopen a second lane of traffic right away, a state spokesman said Tuesday.
The restriping that will re-establish a second lane of traffic won't happen till the spring after the state adds another lane farther west. That's because officials are concerned that reopening a second lane on I-794 would undermine the improvements in traffic flow from southbound I-43 onto westbound I-94, Wisconsin Department of Transportation spokesman Michael Pyritz said Tuesday. »Read Full Blog Post(9)

Is the SDA-2 a good set of speakers to build an HT system around. Here's my situation. I have a pair of the SDA's, an equally old CS100 and two bookshelf speakers RM-?? for 'effects' (btw I don't see effect speakers being used anymore..) together with a pair of Atlantic speakers for rears. My SSP is an old Yam. DSP A-1000 7.1. It's from the pre-Dolby Digital days.
I've seen the following advertised for $1700: rti12's (2), CSi5,psw505,fxi5's(2) +yamaha rxv995. Q: (1) I don't think I would use the Y receiver, it's 5.1 but how would you rate the speakers for HT. Dynamite? Decent?.
OR should I proceed to build anew around the SDA-2's instead. If so any quick suggestions on what to get from centers and rears. Once again thanks for your advice.

Firefall team hires Morgan Romine for eSports focusby Xav de Matos, Sep 20, 2011 9:55am PDT
Developer Red 5 Studios hopes to make the upcoming free-to-play shooter Firefall ready for the tournament scene. To do so, the company has hired Morgan "Rhoulette" Romine, founder of the Frag Dolls, Ubisoft's all-female professional gaming team. Romine visited the Shacknews offices to discuss her new role and what it means for players of Firefall.
"We have a lot of guys on the team who are former pro gamers," Romine told me in an interview last week. Her official title at Red 5 Studios is eSports Maven. She's extremely animated during our conversation, but it isn't nerves going from a team dedicated to game promotion to a new management role focused on an important element to the most dedicated game players, she's excited. "Everybody on the team takes competitive gaming really seriously," she admits.
Romine says that it's important for the team at Red 5 to build a game from the "ground up" with competitive gaming in mind. "My role on the team is to champion the eSports spirit," Romine tells me.
What this means is that it's up to Romine to interact with the community to ensure their eSports needs are being met. Romine's task is to take all of the feedback focused on tournaments, clans, and spectator modes and help push for those features on the development side. "We want to make it so that Firefall is an amazing experience, not only for the competitive players but also for the people who would be interested in watching it."
Firefall has systems built within it for Red 5 to eventually branch out into local and big money tournaments, Romine says. "We want to have an expansive, global tournament presence with Firefall."
"I will be helping to advise developers about what the gamers want from the competitive side, but we will also be integrating the game into exiting leagues, potentially, existing tournament structures, possibly. We're going to be building it into the eSports world that already exits and revolutionizing it."
How Red 5 plans to revolutionize the growing eSports market is unclear, but it has time to develop its plan. The free-to-play shooter is scheduled to launch officially sometime in December.
For more on Firefall, read the recent news about pets being added to the game, watch our video interview with Red 5 CEO Mark Kern, or visit the game's official site.

(BPT) - For the 100 million American adults living with chronic pain, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Just as the causes of pain vary from person to person, the therapies that will bring relief are many and diverse. Yet one approach has proven universally helpful for people living with chronic health challenges: self-management.
The concept of self-managing your pain doesn't mean simply taking matters into your own hands, or abandoning your relationship with your doctor. Rather, self-management includes defining your personal goals for treating pain, acting as your own advocate with your doctors, and overseeing the integrated efforts of your team of health care providers.
'We know that chronic pain can be disabling for one in three people who experience it,' says Jan Chambers of the National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association. 'Effective self-management of chronic pain encompasses all aspects of one's life, from working with your doctor to identify treatments, to making lifestyle changes such as losing weight, exercising and eating well.'
In its report on chronic pain - 'Relieving Pain in America: A Blueprint for Transforming Prevention, Care, Education, and Research' - the Institute of Medicine emphasizes the importance of self-management.
'Pain management takes place through self-management, primary care, specialty care and pain centers,' the report states. 'However, the majority of care and management should take place through self-management ...' The report calls for health care providers to educate people with chronic pain and their families on the value of self-management and effective strategies for achieving it.
The first step toward self-management is recognizing your 'symptom cycle,' Chambers says. Pay attention to what prompts your symptoms - perhaps a certain type of activity or time of day - and how they affect you. Discuss this cycle with your providers and explore lifestyle choices that may help manage symptoms.
Tracking your pain and sharing that information with your doctor can help him or her recognize what's working for you - and, what's not.
In addition to helping with pain relief, self-management can also help patients improve their interpersonal relationships, Chambers says. Dealing with daily pain is stressful not only for the people experiencing it, but also for friends and family. Those stresses can strain relationships. Taking control through self-management of pain can give patients a feeling of empowerment, and help relieve stress that can harm relationships.
Finally, self-management encompasses lifestyle changes that can help with chronic pain, such as getting regular exercise, pursuing stress-relieving activities such as yoga or tai chi, and setting aside unhealthy habits such as smoking.
'Patients should set doable goals for lifestyle choices that can help them, and work with their health care providers to find out what works for them to relieve their pain,' Chambers adds.
'When you're dealing with chronic pain, it's like sitting in a row boat. You have one oar and your health care providers have the other,' Chambers says 'You both have to row together at the same time, or your boat is just going to go in circles and you won't get anywhere.'
To learn more about managing chronic pain, visit www.practicalbioethics.org, the website of the Center for Practical Bioethics and the Pain Action Alliance to Implement a National Strategy (PAINS) or www.fmcpaware.org, the website of the National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association.

True artists of the American Southwest have long used native pearl beads as a signature design for their most stunning creations. In these dangle earrings, three native pearls, made from carved and oxidized sterling silver, are stacked atop one another in a graduated arrangement. This design provides the perfect Southwestern highlight to any outfit, never stealing the spotlight but always adding to your look. The earrings measure 1-5/8" long x 3/8" wide and feature post and clutch closures. Made in America.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the natural gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Calling Hurricane Sandy a historic storm that poses an "extraordinary risk for the state of Connecticut," Gov. Dannel P. Malloy on Saturday told leaders of southwestern shoreline towns they should start evacuating waterfront areas of their communities by Sunday morning.
Malloy made that recommendation during an afternoon conference call with municipal leaders on Saturday, shortly after he met with officials from the state's utility departments and Connecticut emergency management officials.
During a press briefing later in the afternoon, Malloy said Hurricane Sandy has the potential to be a greater storm than the Hurricane of 1938 and far worse than last year's Hurricane Irene, particularly along the state's coastline because the storm could play out over 36 hours and four high tide cycles.
He urged anyone who rode out Hurricane Irene last year along the shoreline not to do so this time.
"Folks, this could be bad, really bad. It could impact us in several ways and the moment when you need the most help is often the moment when emergency personnel are least likely to be able to get to you."
Malloy said he can't order towns to evacuate residents, but that he has recommended that all shoreline residents from Greenwich to East Haven evacuate.
Malloy earlier today declared a state of emergency in Connecticut, a move he said would give him greater latitude in closing roads, calling up additional emergency personnel and taking other precautions.
He said he has also already called up 350 National Guard troops and will have 400 on the ready by tomorrow. He said they would be deployed throughout the state to help with recovery efforts.
The greatest concern about the storm, he added, is the surge it could bring in Long Island Sound. With the storm expected to last some 36 hours that means the surge could take place over four high tide cycles, 11:30 p.m., Monday, Sunday, 11:30 a.m., midnight Monday and Tuesday at noon. The worst of the surge, Malloy said, is expected Monday at midnight.
"We expect coastal flooding worse than Irene and the most severe impact will be from Greenwich to East Haven. We anticipate severe flooding, perhaps the worst we've seen in more than 75 years."
He emphasized that many state residents may not realize the extent of the storm's destructive power because of its long duration "not the 12 hours that Connecticut residents are typically used to."
Officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency will be in the state tomorrow to help prepare for assessing the damage and planning a federal response.
Leaders of CL&P and United Illuminating, the state's two major power companies, said they are planning for a "moderate to severe storm." A UI official said the company is anticipating that 50-70 percent of its customers will be without power at some point. A CL&P official said anywhere from a quarter to half of its customers could lose power during the storm, or 300,000 to 600,000 customers.
The company also is currently flying linemen into Connecticut from as far away as Seattle to help with the restoration of power after the storm.
Malloy said no utility crews will not be dispatched to restore electricity until the storm has passed.
Sandy's winds are expected to being hitting the state as early as late Sunday afternoon and to intensify overnight and through the day on Monday. The storm will continue into Tuesday, with sustained winds of about 40 mph and gusts of more than 80 mph.
The exact track of the storm is still being carefully monitored by meteorologists, but landfall now is expected somewhere near the Jersey shore.
A hit farther south would lessen the impacts in Connecticut, but Malloy said the state is preparing for the worst.
"I hope it's not as big a deal as everyone is making it, but I fear it is," Malloy said.

|Mildred Nerhus, 87
|Written by TRF Times
Goodridge - Mildred Nerhus, 87, of Goodridge, died Monday Aug. 27, 2012 at Altru Hospital, Grand Forks, N.D., with her family at her side.
Funeral services were held Friday, Aug. 31, at Nazareth Lutheran Church, Trail, with Rev. Joseph Abrahamson officiating. Casket bearers included Jeff Dahlen, Jeff Kriel, Steve Dahlen, Gene Arveson, Howard Hanson and Larry Good. Interment was held at Nazareth Church Cemetery.
Mildred Bernice Rindahl was born on March 15, 1925 in North Dakota to the late Mike and Christine (Olson) Rindahl. She moved to Minnesota at the age of 5, with her family where she grew up helping on the family farm. She was baptized and confirmed into the Christian faith and attended country school. On June 30, 1948, she was united in marriage to Oscar Nerhus. The couple made their home in Star Township of Pennington County where they've resided since. Together they raised three children: two sons, Rocky and Larry, and one daughter Charleen.
Mildred enjoyed living the farm life. From milking cows to raising her own Herford cattle. She enjoyed gardening and raising her own fresh vegetables for canning as well as just for sampling. She was a member of Nazareth Lutheran Church in rural Trail where she was active in their ladies aid and also helped out as a Sunday school teacher. She was a very hard working farm wife while her husband was away working hard in many states as a dragline operator. She would have her 3 children by her side as she would do the haying and tending to the cattle herself. At times, she'd take the time to travel out to be with Oscar. Her journey's led her out to California and South Dakota. She also sold Avon as a past-time for several years.
In her pasttime, Mildred loved to crochet and sew. Anyone who ever came to visit her would never leave hungry. There was always a full meal on the table or desserts prepared all the time. Later on in the years, Mildred developed arthritis and suffered many broken bones from her arms, wrist, hip, and left leg which later led to an amputation and being wheelchair bound, which she hated so much. It kept her from doing all the things she loved doing on the farm.
Mildred enjoyed spending time with her grandkids and her great grandchild. She couldn't wait long enough for them to start driving so they could take her around. Whether it was to show her how different things were looking around the farm, to going into town just to eat at her favorite restaurants. She loved when her grandkids would come and cook for her. Mildred always showed her appreciation to people by showering them with gifts. She was such a giving person.
Mildred is survived by her son, Larry (Sandy) Nerhus of Goodridge; five grandchildren, Tanya (Nick) Kotrba, Trent (special friend, Ashley Marquis), Blake, Chantal, and Karson Nerhus, and one great-grandchild Nevaeh Kotrba all of Goodridge; as well as nieces, nephews, and other family members.
Mildred was preceded in death by her parents, Mike and Christine; sisters, Myrtle Trulson, Mildred Rindahl in infancy; husband, Oscar; son, Rocky; and daughter, Charleen.

Eatonville Police HQ Gets Renovations as Search for Chief Continues
January 21, 2013 | WMFE - Eatonville's police department is getting some renovations, but there's one thing the squad room still doesn't have...a permanent police chief. The former chief resigned in mid-2011 after a failed attempt by some town council members to oust him, and Eatonville's leaders say they're still looking for the right replacement.
[Image: Eatonville's officials pose with volunteers outside the Public Safety Complex]
About seventy volunteers converged on Eatonville's Public Safety Complex building Friday. Inside, they were painting walls, laying tile and putting up cubicles. Outside, they touched up the landscaping with new mulch and assembled picnic benches. The project also included work on the nearby Denton Johnson Community Center.
The undertaking was a joint effort between several organizations: Rebuilding Together, a non-profit that repairs homes and community facilities when funds are scarce; students from Florida's free veterans' training program at the Home Building Institute; and the Fortune 100 technology company Honeywell.
Interim Police Chief Joseph Jenkins says town leaders and residents are thankful, and the upgrades are boosting morale.
"The officers have a much nicer area to work in now," Jenkins says. "They can come to work and smile and be happy to be here, and work in comfort, and have space to do what they need to do to protect the citizens of Eatonville."
Jenkins says fifteen sworn officers work shifts in the Public Safety Complex, along with four reserve officers, code enforcement personnel, and administrative staff.
"It's important to have your environment that you come to work in conducive to the attitude that you want to display out on the street," says Jenkins.
Jenkins, a police captain, stepped in as Interim Chief after former Chief Joseph Brown resigned in August 2011. Eatonville Mayor Bruce B. Mount, who was also on hand for the Public Safety Complex upgrade, says he knows it's been a long search for a permanent chief, but it's too important a job to rush.
"I feel that 'Chief' is not a position that you could pick quickly, because that's the backbone of your community and your public safety," says Mount. "So, it has to be someone that we feel that has a good fit for the community."
Eatonville officials say they've chosen a few candidates after a nationwide search, and they expect to start the interview process in a few weeks.
Mount also expressed gratitude for the Public Safety Complex and community center improvements. "With the economy, we talk about doing more with less," he said. "So in order to do more with less, it's collaboration, it's partnerships. And I think this shows that things can be done if we just get together and do it."
Eatonville is known as the country's first incorporated African-American municipality and as the hometown of folklorist, anthropologist, and author Zora Neale Hurston.

Staff Writer
McALESTER —
An execution date of March 12 has been set for 42-year-old death row inmate Steven Ray Thacker.
The request for an execution date was made on Jan. 7 by Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt immediately following the U.S. Supreme Court denial of Thacker's final appeal.
Thacker was convicted of going on a 10-day killing-spree over the Christmas and New Year holidays between Dec. 1999 and Jan. 2000. He killed three people in three states, according to court records.
"In December 2002, Thacker pleaded guilty to the kidnapping, rape and first-degree murder of Laci Dawn Hill, 25, of Bixby," Pruitt's press release states.
"Thacker met Hill in her home on Dec. 23, 1999, after answering an ad Hill placed to sell a pool table," Pruitt's press release continues. "When his attempt to rob Hill failed, Thacker kidnapped her and took her to a rural cabin and raped her. Thacker attempted to strangle Hill, but eventually stabbed her in the chest and neck."
In a video-taped confession, according to police, Thacker told authorities that he raped Hill and returned to kill her after realizing she could turn him in. A medical examiner later testified that Hill had injuries on her neck, chin and clavicles, "indicating she struggled against Thacker as he tried to strangle her."
After attempting to strangle Hill, Thacker stabbed her twice in the chest, according to court records, penetrating her left lung and causing her to bleed to death.
Pruitt's press release says Thacker then fled to Missouri, where he killed 24-year-old Forrest Reed Boyd, stealing his car and credit cards.
"Thacker drove to Tennessee where the car ultimately broke down, and he called a tow truck," according to Pruitt. "Thacker murdered Ray Patterson (age 52), the tow truck driver, after being confronted for using a stolen credit card."
Thacker was arrested at a Super 8 Motel in Union City, Tennessee, after being located by police, according to court documents. After searching Thacker's motel room, police found several items belonging to Patterson, including credit cards, according to court records. Police also found a pistol, hair dye, two bloodstained coats and two knives, court records state.
Police also searched Thacker's vehicle and found a third knife, which was covered in Patterson's blood, court records state. While in police custody, Thacker told authorities "how he had left his home in Chouteau, Oklahoma, on about December 28, 1999, and traveled to Springfield, Missouri," court records state.
"He left Springfield on December 31 and traveled toward Dyersburg, Tennessee, but his car broke down 'two-and-a-half miles this side of the Mississippi River.' An unidentified man gave the defendant a ride into Dyersburg and dropped him off at a truck stop," where he obtained a name and phone number for a local tow-truck driver.
"While at this truck stop, (Thacker) called the victim and asked him to tow his vehicle into the service station," court records state. "Once they arrived back at the victim's service station, (Thacker) attempted to pay the victim (Patterson) with the stolen credit card, but the card was rejected.
"According to (Thacker), 'he wasn't gonna give my credit, my card back 'cause I couldn't pay the bill ... And I knew I was wanted in other states, so I just stabbed him and took off.' He explained that (Patterson) had been facing the credit card machine when (Thacker) stabbed him but (Patterson) immediately turned around and attempted to pull out his gun.
"However, (Thacker) managed to elude him by hiding behind a truck parked inside the garage. (Patterson) then ran out into the parking lot towards the tow truck and collapsed on the ground."
According to court records, Thacker drove Patterson tow truck into the woods, went back and dragged Patterson's body into a building and stole his credit cards and gun.
Thacker was sentenced to death in Tennessee for killing the tow truck driver and he received a life sentence for killing the Missouri man, according to Pruitt.
When requesting an execution date for Thacker, Pruitt asked the court to set the date 60 days after Jan. 7, 2013.
Thacker is currently housed on death row in Tennessee at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville. Along with his Oklahoma death sentence, Thacker is serving 10 years for kidnapping and 50 years for first degree rape in Oklahoma. He was sentenced to death in Tennessee for first degree murder and was sentenced to life for a murder charge in Missouri.
"If and when they set an execution date," said OSP Warden's Assistant Terry Crenshaw, "offender Thacker will be brought back to the Oklahoma State Penitentiary so his court ordered execution could be carried out."

Do I need an airhole in my sub box so it doesn't over-heat or anything?
Free Shipping on All Orders 1-866-764-1801Vist our Online Store
Do I need an airhole in my sub box so it doesn't over-heat or anything?
What type of sub do you have? Give us some specifics here...
Typically I would not alter the design of any manufactured part without a thorough understanding of what your trying to do.
It is a Pioneer 400 Watt 12".
Like, I have an airhole in my box now, but should I seal it?
The airhole is not for cooling and its dimensions are designed for a certain amout of airflow. My subs are designed to actually allow the user to change the airflow and there are manufacturer guidlines in accomplishing this. Outside of that I would reccomend leaving "well enough alone".
Well, I have to subs and one of them is in a big hefty cardboard box! Lol yes very cheap but it pounds. The other is in a real box. For the cardboard one do I need the hole?
can you take some digital pics of your "Cardboard Sub" so some of the real experts on speaker design can chime in?
What kind of sub is made of cardboard? I just can't fathem that...
This is too funny. :DOriginally Posted by T_Unit616
I too am enjoying it but our new friend seems sincere...:DOriginally Posted by PolkThug
Shoot I don''t have my camera hear. Ok, try to envision this. There are handles on the sides right? covered one of them, and cut open the other prolly around 2 inches. Is it too big or do I need to cover it up to get more boom?
I know I know.....:DOriginally Posted by PolkThug
do you have a link you can share regarding the type of sub you have?
Don't worry. I am getting a custom made box for it. Cardboard is temporary ;)
Ummmmm let me try to find one. It is an older kind of sub.Originally Posted by HBombToo
This isn't mine, but it kinda looks like this. Letters are green, and imagine it older and used. http://www.strathfield.com/images/Si...um/TSW306C.jpg
That is just the driver. Where did the cardboard box come from?
Oh my bad. I got it out of my garage. It is like a.....Amsoil?
If I knew what Amsoil was I may be able to draw some conclusions...
Plus I ahve a problem with the Pioneer. It makes like a cracking, popping sound instead of bass. I am taking my amplifier back in like 30 minutes and getting a better one. I don't know what could be causing that sound though......
Lol....Amsoil....wait let me go give you the dimensions ans stuff.Originally Posted by HBombToo
9 inches tall......14 inches wide......15 inches long
And it is Prime Oil.
if your sub has a hole.. don't plug it..
if your sub doesnt' have a hole.. don't make one.
It isn't the sub. It is the sub box.
This is beginning to sound like it should be in the automotive side of the house...
Well it's trouble....
Your sub is toast.Originally Posted by T_Unit616
Amsoil is very highly regarded synthetic oil.
But here is the thing. I tried my other sub, it did the same thing.Originally Posted by PolkThug
