Anti-Theft Briefcase Can Shock Exterior w/ 30K Volts
You ever tried to steal somebody's briefcase before? It's not that hard if you have one that looks identical. If you don't have one that looks identical, things get trickier. You may need to fill a gym-sock full of pennies and brain them from behind. Enter the Super Safe Suitcase (wow) from Kimpok. Because what good is a briefcase that can't be used as some sort of zany Joker gag?
The anti-loss system activates and 85dB alarm when you, with the included remote control in your pocket, move further than 15 meters from it.
The anti-theft system--once armed--activates the audible alarm as well as a 30,000-volt pulse shock over the case's entire exterior if moved. The shock is produced from an on-board stack of six C-batteries. The alarm/electrocution can also manually activated from the remote
Ten-to-one says anybody who buys one winds up shocking themselves while trying to get the alarm to stop going off like people always do with their cars. No lie -- earlier this week I saw a lady trying to turn her car alarm to shut off for like two minutes straight and it wouldn't stop. Eventually she started YELLING at her car like it could f***ing hear. Come on lady, it's not a motorcycle!

I am based in Europe and I would like to test my website as if I am located in New York. I have some specific features that will be visible based on cities.
You have a few solid options that will return results in Google and display the site as you was actually in their country. The most common methods are Proxies and VPN (Virtual Private Network) This are available as free or paid, paid services tend to be fast and not very noticeable your using a server to connect to a desired site. While a Free Service is normally painfully slow at times and especially noticeable when downloading or watching videos on such sites as YouTube. VPN VS PROXIES I won't go into every plus and negative about both but what you should know is that VPN tend to me much more secure than proxies due to encryption and the authentication system works. A Few Free Proxies Services A Few Free or Trial Based VPN Services
There is also many more online simply Google VPN or PROXIES and your soon be overwhelmed. |
Based on how you implemented it you could set up a local proxy (or even re-configure your local webserver) to explicitely send X_FORWARDED_FOR headers with specific IPs related to NY. |
There's a lot of applicable resources to test this without the need of installing a proxy, VPN or something else, like
However I find them very incompetent since they need ages to load and Loads.in seems to not work at all (maybe just me?) Just-ping.com is fast and good if you only need to test the speed, however if you are looking for browser compatibility, css and js hooks (to see how fast they load and act), etc. then there's not much from my point of view you could use. Since I really don't know what you are exactly looking for give this makeuseof.com/tag/10-free-online-tools-test-website-loading-speeds-create-faster-webpages a shot. (Sorry for the cripple links at the end, but apparently new users cannot post more than two links in one post.) |
There's are VPN's you can use. HMA VPN & https://www.overplay.net/ are a couple you could get for like 10 bucks per month. |

A former Nogales police officer who had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl has been sentenced to two months in jail and three years' probation.
Victor Jesus Valenzuela also must register as a sex offender.
The 25-year-old former officer was arrested last year and accused of having sex with the girl 13 times. The Nogales international reports officials at the girl's school learned of the affair after the pair broke up and told police.
He pleaded guilty to one count of sexual conduct with a minor last month.
Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge James A. Soto cited his remorse and lack of a record in deciding his sentence Monday.
Valenzuela is the third Nogales officer in four years to be convicted of sex offenses involving underage girls.

Fast Feed [1]
Even Gorillas Couldn't Scratch Corning's New Smartphone Glass (Well, Probably)
Corning's revealed its newest, toughest glass...destined to protect your phone's display from your keys as they jangle in the same pocket.
Corning's Gorilla Glass--a super bendy and scratch-resistant glass perfect for protecting mobile devices--has been a hidden but vital part [3] of the success of touchscreen smartphones and tablets [4]. Now, just ahead of CES 2013, Corning's revealed [5] its third iteration of the tech. Yup, it's better than ever.
Corning long ago cracked the flexibility issue of its super-strong glass, so that your phone's screen is more likely to flex rather than break if you sit on it or drop it. But the new Gorilla Glass 3 improves one thing that really does deplete the experience of using a touchscreen: scratches. A new Native Damage Resistance secret trick is in place, and Corning says it does a much better job of resisting scratches and reducing the visibility of any scratches you manage to inflict. That means 2013's smartphone screens may be three times less likely to scratch and have 40% fewer visible scratches. As a bonus they'll also be half as strong again as before if you do manage to damage them seriously.
How soon after you bought your last smartphone did you manage to scratch it? And would you choose a phone on the strength of its screen?

If King County parks aren't overrun with people, why should we spend more money on them?
on August 7, 2013 @ 2:16 pm
KIRO Radio's John Curley thinks people should be asking for numbers on park use before forking over more and more money for their creation and maintenance.
"The one thing that I bring up all the time in the City Council in Sammamish, which people hate, is I ask for metrics. If we're going to spend $1 million on a park, I always say, 'Well let's do a head count on all the other parks first and see if people are using the parks.' If they're not using the parks, why do you build another park?"
But Dave Ross thinks Curley is kind of missing the point of parks. They're not supposed to be overrun with people, he says.
"A lot people believe the purpose of parks is not just for them to be thronged with people but to preserve some open space if you want to go out someplace and be alone."
Many parks and trails are remote and get little use, but no one would be able to use them at all if they weren't preserved for the occasion someone actually makes the trek.
"There are probably relatively few people who are going to go camping in the Glacier Peaks Wilderness area. These are for people who are in pretty good condition, so a relative handful, but it's a gorgeous area," says Dave. "Should it not be protected and maintained and policed?"
John is still skeptical and recalls a recent case where the council in Sammamish was considering spending $1.3 million on a waterfront pocket park.
"I said to Jesse, who's in charge of parks, I said, 'How big is this space? How many people, if they laid down on a blanket elbow-to-elbow, could possibly enjoy the park?" said John. "We came up with about 30."
But sitting elbow-to-elbow, would you enjoy your $1.3 million park?

Medal record
Donovan Bailey (born December 16, 1967) is a retired Canadian sprinter, who once held the world record for the 100 metres race following his gold medal performance in the 1996 Olympic Games. He was the first Canadian to legally break the 10-second barrier in the 100 m. Particularly noted for his top speed, Bailey ran 27.07 mph (12.10 m/s) in his 1996 Olympic title run, the fastest ever recorded at the time.1
Early life
Born in Manchester, Jamaica in 1967, Bailey emigrated to Canada at age 13, and played basketball before his graduation at Queen Elizabeth Park High School in Oakville, Ontario. He began competing as a 100 m sprinter part-time in 1991, but he did not take up the sport seriously until 1994. At that time, he was also a stockbroker. He was coached by American Dan Pfaff.
At the 1995 world Track & Field Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden, Bailey won both the 100m sprint and the 4 x 100 m relay titles.
As a precursor to the centennial Olympics being held in Atlanta, Bailey broke the indoor 50 m world record during a competition in Reno, Nevada in 1996. He was timed at 5.56 seconds. Maurice Greene matched that performance in 1999, but his run was never ratified as a world record. Bailey repeated the "double" at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, setting a world record of 9.84s +0.7 m/s wind in the 100 m (the previous record was set in July 1994 by American Leroy Burrell at 9.85 seconds). Many Canadians felt his victory restored the image of Canadian athletes, which had been tarnished by Ben Johnson's previous disqualified win at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. Bailey was the second person to hold all the major titles in the 100 m concurrently (World Champion, Olympic Champion & World Record Holder); Carl Lewis was the first to achieve this feat.
Bailey won a third world title in 1997 with the Canadian relay team, while finishing second in the 100 m behind Maurice Greene.
After the 1997 season Bailey ruptured his Achilles tendon during the post season 98, effectively ending his career. He made a second attempt in the 2000 Summer Olympics for Olympic glory, but suffered from pneumonia and dropped out during the rounds. He retired from the sport in 2001, having been a three-time World and the 2 time Olympic champion.2
Bailey's time of 9.84 in Atlanta was the 100m world record from 1996 until 1999, when it was broken by Greene. The time also stood as the Commonwealth record from 1996 until 2005, when it was broken by Asafa Powell, and is the current Canadian record (shared with Bruny Surin since 1999). His Olympic record was broken by Usain Bolt at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
World's Fastest Man
In May 1997 he raced against Michael Johnson in a 150 m race at Toronto's SkyDome in a bid to truly determine who the world's fastest man was. Earlier in the spring of 1997 Johnson began performing television promotions in which he billed himself as "the world's fastest man" as a result of his 200 meters world record, despite the fact that the 100 m world record holders are traditionally given that unofficial title. Bailey initially refused to take part, stating that "the world's fastest man was decided in Atlanta."
Bailey won $1.5 million for winning the race (14.99.)
After racing
After racing, Bailey started his own company called DBX Sport Management which helps amateur athletes find a way to promote themselves. He also started a sport injury clinic in Oakville, Ontario.
He has been inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame twice: in 2004 as an individual, and in 2008 as part of the 1996 Summer Olympics 4x100 relay team.3
In August 2008 Bailey worked as a track commentator for CBC Television at the 2008 Summer Olympics.4 He estimated that had Usain Bolt not slowed down near the end of the 100m dash (which he still won in record time), he could have set a time of 9.55 seconds.5
Bailey is a father of two and has four brothers - Glenroy, Wilburn, O'Neil and Michael.

NC nurse anesthetists battle bill to put doctor supervision requirements into law
News & Observer, March 21, 2013
RALEIGH - Nurse anesthetists from across the state packed a hearing room at the N.C. General Assembly on Wednesday to show their dislike of a bill that calls for a physician to formally supervise their work. Certified nurse anesthetists now may work either "in collaboration with" or "under supervision of" doctors, an arrangement that bill sponsors say leaves the CNA-physician relationship vulnerable to interpretation and possible litigation. The goal is to put into state law "a fundamental patient-safety standard," said Rep. Nelson Dollar, a Republican from Cary who is one of four primary sponsors of the bill.

This is really smart Cava, made by one of the region's oldest producers.
Codorníu has been making wine since 1551 and this bottle-fermented sparkler is rich with apple and lemon fruit, bound together with delicate bubbles.
Makes a brilliant match for smoked salmon or mackeral pate.
Made from grapes from the fantastic 2009 vintage, this blend of Macabeo, Xarello and Parellada work together extremely well. It's bright with crisp citrus and apple flavours, and the bubbles give it a gorgeous lift. This goes well with canapés, or fish and chips – seriously!

Is it possible to persist a custom object within CAD at a per drawing level? Basically we want to create a web service that pulls in a project name / project number etc etc from our project management software and persist this to the cad drawing itself so it is available when reopened?
you can use "named objects dictionary" therefor.
- alfred -
ok. So anything stored in the dictionary gets saved automatically? Im just doing a search for this now in google. Do you have any decent links you can share. Apologies completly new to CAD development
>> So anything stored in the dictionary gets saved automatically?
Saved automatically is not correct, it is saved with the drawing, but only if the user saves the drawing. =
>> Do you have any decent links you can share
One special link: >>>click<<<
"Through the Interface" is always a great site for all dotNET-stuff for AutoCAD, and there are a lot more listed. Let us know, if you have troubles while writing your specific code, but as a global help you have now links the get deeper into NOD's.
- alfred -
Data can be saved; how that data is manipulated i.e. program cannot. So the drawing can go elsewhere but if the program (AutoCAD, for example) doesn't have the plug-in or object enabler then nothing will happen with that data.

They sprouted like weeds — marine fuel treatments claiming to stabilize ethanol-laced gasoline and to forestall ghastly complications such as phase separation.
Yet, how can you be confident that these work as intended or that they won't damage an engine? This is an issue that the National Marine Manufacturers Association is attempting to resolve within its Oil Certification Committee, made up of marine engine manufacturers, additive companies and petroleum refiners.
In the initial meeting, known as the Fuel Additive Summit, discussions centered on test parameters that might result in an NMMA certification program for gasoline treatments, similar to the TC-W and FC-W programs for two- and four-stroke marine oils, respectively. However, at least one fuel additive company is questioning the need for marine certification.
There are more than 35 marine fuel additives that claim to address ethanol issues, says Steve Friedrich, assistant department manager for Yamalube, the oil, lube and additive arm of Yamaha Motor Corp., which offers two marine fuel treatments. Friedrich is also chairman of the OCC, and his company supports certification.
"Yamaha understands all of them, and about two-thirds are problematic," Friedrich says. He refers to internal engine rust caused by some additives that encapsulate water in an ill-advised attempt to mask phase separation.
Phase separation occurs when ethanol combines with water in the gas, forming a soupy goop that sinks to the bottom of the tank. No fuel additive can effectively reverse phase separation, Friedrich says.
However, some fuel additives can temporarily emulsify water with chemicals such as glycol or alcohol, but these also change the chemical nature of the fuel, and that can cause pre-detonation as well as internal corrosion, Friedrich claims.
Another proponent of certification is Jerry Nessenson, president of ValvTect, which offers its own ethanol treatment as well as other additives and special gasoline blends sold at marina fuel docks. ValvTect also makes private-label formulas for some marine engine companies.
"The subject of ethanol has come up so fast that boaters have not thought much about whether an additive is safe or not," Nessenson says. "Boaters need to be cautious about what they pour in their gas tanks."
Nessenson suggests that the OCC adopt the same standards developed by the American Society of Materials and Testing for fuel additives in the automotive industry. "Any additive manufacturer should be able to verify its claims via industry standard testing," he maintains. "It is disturbing that some companies have challenged this need."
One reason to challenge might be cost. Estimates for testing range upward to $250,000, with no guarantee of passing.
"This will absolutely push prices (for fuel additives) up," says Greg Dornau, vice president for Star brite, which markets Star Tron, a multifunction fuel additive that also addresses ethanol issues. It is the best-selling fuel additive in the marine market, Dornau claims.
"We welcome the discussion (of certification) but question the motive behind this program," he says. Dornau believes that companies with lagging sales are the ones behind the certification push.
He points to an existing specification set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for gasoline additives, section 211(f)(1) of the Clean Air Act. "This is used to regulate the multibillion-dollar auto industry, and Star Tron meets this standard," says Dornau. "If a company meets this specification, I'm not sure why any further certification is necessary. We believe we should let the free market prevail."

Why does Samsung Kies say that my device does not support software upgrading via kies?
Did it say the same BEFORE you flashed anything with Odin? and if it says there's no update and you already have 2.3.4 then simply there are no further updates for the Ace based on the ROM you're using. Phones are locked yes by the Regional carrier, most likely your carrier has ties with the European carriers hence your phone coming with an European ROM. |

Yes, your eyes do not lie, that is 12 cameras rigged to take a picture at the exact same moment. The idea is a single camera loses data (namely depth) when it takes a 3D image and transposes it onto a 2D medium. FuturePicture somewhat circumvents this loss by taking several pictures with different focus distances. In short, the camera array allows you to focus on multiple items within a scene. The project's hardware and software have yet to be released (we do know it's at least Arduino), but they plan to make it entirely open source so everyone can experiment. Of course, we'll keep you up to date.

If you thought choosing a hard drive was all about the cost per gigabyte, think again. Automatic backup, hardware-based encryption, and Web access are just a few of the features offered by today's most sophisticated storage tools.
Seagate Replica
This 5.6-inch device is an ideal data-disaster-prevention tool. Just plug it in and hit OK; it will continuously back up everything, including your operating system, programs, and settings.
COST: $130 (250GB, single PC) to $180 (500GB, multiple PCs)
Clickfree Backup Drive
There's no software to install or configure; just plug this 4.5-inch device into a PC, and it starts backing up photos, documents, and more. The ingenious Transformer cable ($60) adds the same capability to a hard drive you already own.
COST: $90 (120GB) to $220 (500GB)
Maxtor BlackArmor
The 5-inch Maxtor BlackArmor absolutely prohibits access without the proper password -- not even professional data recovery services can crack it. Easy-to-use software lets users set an automated backup schedule and sync data on multiple computers.
COST: $170 for 320GB
Western Digital My Book World Edition
Access your files from the Web -- even if your PCs are turned off. Tech-savvy users can use this 6.8-inch device to back up files remotely, but it isn't easy. The drive can also stream music to an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.
COST: $230 (1TB) or $450 (2TB)

Inside Scoop: Gearing up for CES 2013 Video
Inside Scoop: Gearing up for CES 2013 Video Transcript
-Hi everyone and welcome to the Inside Scoop. I'm CNET's Kara Tsuboi, joined by Senior Editor Donald Bell. And Donald, we are talking all things CES- -Uh-huh. -2013. That's the Consumer Electronics Show, happens every year in Las Vegas in roughly the 2nd week of January. So, just a few days away from heading down to the big show- -Right. -What are some of your thoughts for this year? What are we going to see as far as products go? -One thing that's always a staple at CES is TVs. -Uh-huh. -It's half of- half of it always seems to be big name announcements for televisions and also some new technologies that have been kind of in the paper for a while now. They're falling down into, you know, consumer level televisions. So, we're looking at 4K TVs which is double the resolution of our highest resolution 1080p TVs right now. -Wow. -And OLED TVs which have been in the process for a while but we've seen smaller screen sizes. They're very expensive. Hopefully, now, we're gonna be hitting that equilibrium of screen sizes and price to make them more attractive to consumers. -I remember a couple years ago, the rage was 3D TVs. -Uh-huh. -It looks like that fad has passed or onto a new trend. -Yeah, that's kind of like people take that as a given now in any TV they're gonna buy. -I heard that one of the things editors are keeping an eye out for is streaming and connectivity and products like Roku and other competitors. -Right. There's that continued push to make the living room all the more wireless. Especially now, that Apple has pulled their connection port to their phones and their tablet. There's this push to have like airplay speaker systems, Bluetooth speaker systems. People are now, whether they like it or not, having to embrace more wireless technologies in the living room including things like Roku for streaming video to their TVs, but even on that front of like wireless charging for their phones or wireless speaker systems for their home theater. -What about hand-held devices in the form of Smartphones or tablets. Do you think we'll see a lot of invasion in the hardware space there? -Some release for the past 2, CES has definitely been a place where we've seen a lot of new Android tablets. -Uh-huh. -And I think that's still gonna continue here because we've seen some successful footholds in the tablet market for Android devices like the Amazon Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7. So, we're gonna see, probably, even more Android tablets from viewing the CES. But as far as phones go, we have Mobile World Congress coming up in a month after CES. -Sure. -I think a lot of the manufacturers gonna see their big name announcements for that- -Uh-huh. -Expo. And then, we'll see some phone here but nothing that's gonna really make a lot of headlines except maybe some fireproof, waterproof phones, things like that, whatever. Always seemed to trickle out their fond of demo- -The French phones. -But not really the things that people get excited about. -And speaking of companies sort of wanting to release products on their own schedule, we learned last year that Microsoft would no longer be participating in CES. -Yeah. -What kind of impact will that have on the show this year? -Well, it takes a big brand name off of the show floor- -Yeah. -But that also leaves space for other people to come in and take it over. So, there is a vacuum there, but I'm sure it's gonna be fooled by a lot of other manufacturers. This also makes sense for Microsoft in a way because they just came out with the big push for Windows 8, Windows Phone 8. So, they've already kind of shown off everything that they have for this year. -True. -So, there's not a lot for them to show at CES. -I've, now- this will be my 4th CES. How many have you gone to? -This will be, I think, 4 or 5, yeah. -Is there anything that you could share with our viewers that you're doing to prepare right now- -Yeah. -Before you head down? -Just exhaustion, preparation, just taking my vitamins, taking care of myself, you know. But yeah, it's rough because you're on your feet all day. It's high stress. You're, you know, the bloggers and writers are bringing extra like My 5 to keep connected to the internet and the different press conferences. -Yeah. -It's a lot to go through. -Yeah, just waiting through the crowd [unk] the time. -You bring in extra socks, comfy shoes. -Yeah. -It's a lot of walking. -Yeah. -But, yeah. -Definitely. -That's all. There's no real preparation you could do except to get a lot of rest. -Absolutely. Well, we look forward to seeing you, Don, there. -Yeah. -Thank you so much, Donald Bell. I'm Kara Tsuboi. Thanks for watching the Inside Scoop.

I'm deploying in a month. What will be out when I return?
When I get back around beginning 2013, what is your speculation of the phone I will be to get.
Ie: I'm feeling I will be able to get a phone with a 4.8 inch 720p screen, quad core, 1.5gb ram. It will have 64gb internal memory (because as nice as the cloud is, it does NOT work in all the places the military works.)
It will have a sd card slot, 3000mhz minimum battery, and will feature actual stereo speakers (on the back in landscape mode)
I honestly do not care about the thinness, but hopefully around the same thickness as a Droid Charge.
A small Bezel on top and bottom, (for holding) and a minimal Bezel on the sides. The camera won't have more than 10mp, but will be better engineered to not suck ***. The FFC will be 5mp.
Soft keys only on the screen, and there WILL be an actual camera button with 2 stages.
Bootloader will be un encrypted (because that's the problem).
Also, will be a Verizon device.
What are your hopes for an actual early 2013 device?Thanked by 2: - 04-14-2012, 08:39 AM #2
Re: I'm deploying in a month. What will be out when I return?
Casen thank for you protecting our country. What you do has earned respect from every American.
As far as the phones.... I just hope whatever it is keeps the removeable battery and an SD slot !
Good luck and get home safe.My Apps!https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Chaos+Studios#?t=W10. - 04-14-2012, 09:01 AM #3
Re: I'm deploying in a month. What will be out when I return?
I was once in your shoes, and it's a great thing to be a part of. One of the funniest parts was to leave on a deployment and come back to see all changes since you left. I think you are almost spot on for the next Razr maxx 2. The front camera will only be 3 MP, but it will eventually hit 5 MP I'm sure.
Thank you for serving our country, always be proud. - 04-14-2012, 09:32 AM #4
Re: I'm deploying in a month. What will be out when I return?
Yea same boat but while I was on R&R I ended up getting the Galaxy Nexus. Talk about being impatient lol. So I'm set for a good minute.
If you are deploying to Afghanistan don't worry about 2013, worry about the phone you will use in Afghanistan if you are allowed to have one.
I switched from android to windows phone while I was there and didn't regret it, mostly because of battery life. There is fairly widespread GPRS and EDGE coverage (via Roshan and a few other carriers) and it is several orders of magnitude cheaper to call home and text via a local sim than using your US carrier's roaming.

OPSEC! You would be surprised at what can be pieced together from just your post that you are deploying in a month. Think of your fellow soldiers and don't publicly disclose anything like this. Not everyone that trolls the Internet is here to help. You are just a piece of the puzzle that someone can put together.
Re: I'm deploying in a month. What will be out when I return?
Casen, thanks for serving. Good luck over there. I just got back from Afghan 4 weeks ago myself. Just keep this website bookmarked like I did, lol. I came home to a Galaxy Nexus. Let me know if you need anything while you are gone.

I would like to thank every one who wished me luck, and those who went before me.
I know i am kinda aiming short on most of my phone wishes, but i am looking at what could be a real device in my hands around the January timeframe. And some of the wishes (stereo speakers, and removable storage) are personal preference.
But for serious, i do want a dedicated 2 stage camera button.

Awesome, as I open up Pulse, and start reading through my tech news and such, I see my own thread. Thanks for the support!
But, I still want to hear what ya'll think a realistic outlook is on a phone at the beginning of the new year.

First in a spectacular new series about two brother lawyers who lease offices on London's Baker Street--and begin receiving mail addressed to Sherlock HolmesIn Los Angeles, a geological surveyor maps out a proposed subway route--and then goes missing. His eight-year-old daughter, in her desperation, turns to the one person she thinks might help--she writes a letter to Sherlock Holmes.That letter creates an uproar at 221b Baker Street, which now houses the law offices of attorney and man about town Reggie Heath and his hapless brother, Nigel. Instead of filing the letter like he's supposed to, Nigel decides to investigate. Soon he's flying off to Los Angeles, inconsiderately leaving a very dead body on the floor in his office. Big brother Reggie follows Nigel to California, as does Reggie's sometime lover, Laura---a quick-witted stage actress who's captured the hearts of both brothers.When Nigel is arrested, Reggie must use all his wits to solve a case that Sherlock Holmes would have savored and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fans will adore.

Found November 12, 2012 on
Fox Sports Wisconsin:
Montee Ball,
John Clay,
James White
TEAMS: Wisconsin Badgers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Penn State Nittany Lions
TEAMS: Wisconsin Badgers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Penn State Nittany Lions
MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin running back Montee Ball has drawn national attention for having an innate ability to dart around or bulldoze through defenders on his way to the end zone. During his college football career, he has done it with a frequency surpassed by only one man.
But what type of player would Ball be if he were a linebacker? Strange as it may sound, it's a position Ball considered playing just two years ago after coaches did not insert him into a game against Ohio State. He went home that night, and in the quiet moments of solitude and self-reflection, decided maybe he should switch to linebacker, a position he grew up playing.
Fortunately for Wisconsin, it never reached that point.
"I have some years of experience with linebacker, but I don't think I'd be pretty good right now," Ball said Monday. "I'm glad to see I stuck with running back."
Following a three-touchdown performance last Saturday against Indiana, Ball now stands just one touchdown shy of tying the all-time NCAA record of 78, set by Travis Prentice of Miami (Ohio) in 1999.
The tipping point in Ball's college career, he has said many times, was that 2010 game against the Buckeyes. Wisconsin knocked off then-No. 1 Ohio State 31-18 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. When Ball, then the team's third-string running back, had no part in the victory, it made him realize he needed to work harder, change his practice habits, his exercise routine and even his diet. He dropped 26 pounds the following offseason and returned for his junior year as an entirely different player -- still playing the running back position, of course.
"I'm really glad that happened," said Ball, a Heisman Trophy finalist last season. "When times get hard, I look back on that time because that was my first time never being able to contribute in a football game and that was really challenging for myself. I make sure to look back on it and keep telling myself I overcame that, so anything that comes my way now, I'll overcome it. I'm really glad that happened to me because it really opened up my eyes."
Perhaps it's fitting, then, that Ball can tie or break the all-time touchdown record this Saturday against none other than Ohio State. Wisconsin (7-3, 4-2 in the Big Ten) plays host to Ohio State (10-0, 6-0) at 2:35 p.m. CT.
And unlike the last time at Camp Randall Stadium, there's no way Ball won't be on the field.
"Montee knows it's a big deal because everybody has been telling him about it," Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said. "We talked about it on Sunday. We've kind of kept him clued in of how many he needs and obviously one more to tie it and two more to get it. It will be a special memory for everybody involved."
Ball admitted there were times earlier this season when he wondered whether he would have a real opportunity to attain the record. He suffered a concussion the morning of Aug. 1 when he was assaulted while walking back to his apartment following a night out with friends. The injury forced him out of full-contact drills for all of fall practice.
When Ball returned, his running and cuts weren't crisp. Then in the fourth game of the season, he sustained another concussion against UTEP and left the game early. At the time, his rushing average stood at 90.0 yards per game, and he had just three touchdowns -- 14 shy of tying the all-time mark.
"At the beginning of the year, everything that happened to me this summer, coming out of the gates real slow, personally I kind of felt that it was way out of hand's reach for myself," Ball said of the touchdown record. "I'm really glad that I stuck with it and kept fighting, kept pushing, kept working hard with my teammates in practice. To see now that I'm close to getting it is an honor."
Bielema noted the most astounding aspect of Ball's near record is that he hasn't been the Badgers' featured running back during his entire four-year career. As a freshman, he gained 391 yards rushing and scored just four touchdowns. And as a sophomore, he shared carries with then-senior John Clay and then-freshman James White.
"He's really been the guy for two and a half years, which makes it even more remarkable," Bielema said.
Last season, Ball surpassed White on the depth chart and rushed for 1,923 yards with 33 touchdowns. His 39 total touchdowns scored tied the single-season FBS record set by Barry Sanders at Oklahoma State in 1988. Although Ball's statistics are down this season -- as virtually everyone expected given his spectacular junior campaign -- he has managed to put together another stellar year.
Through 10 games this season, Ball has rushed for 1,226 yards and 16 touchdowns. And he has put himself in position to break Prentice's all-time touchdown record with time to spare thanks to a string of solid performances in Big Ten play.
Ball has three more guaranteed games after this Saturday -- at Penn State, in the Big Ten championship and in a bowl game to be determined. But he has his mind set on ending the suspense against the Buckeyes as part of his senior day festivities.
"I believe it's the ideal picture basically for myself to break the record here at home in my last home game," Ball said.
Certainly, it presents a much prettier picture for Ball's career than if he had opted to become a linebacker two years ago. Bielema is glad it didn't come to that.
"If he'd came in and told me he wanted to switch to linebacker, I probably wouldn't have let him -- as bad as he might have pleaded," Bielema said. "I do think we always knew all along he was going to be pretty special."

Best Uses
There were many non-matching boards of various colors and striations as well as defective boards with color markings, large holes and dents (even filled in with wood putty). Some of the beveled edges did not match up either. I recommend this floor as an inexpensive way to floor a room that is not visible to eye.
Best Uses
When installing this product I found the end tongues many times not milled clean. I had to take a utility knife to complete the cut. I also found several boards cut inconsistently in width. I also had inquired about the amount of short boards to expect in each box and found out that there were a lot more than normally anticipated.
Best Uses
I installed for a customer, went well.
Best Uses
Finished first floor and stairs.
Stairs add nice finished look.
Pre-finished solid wood eases my mind knowing I can refinish later date after dogs get to it.
Best Uses
Overall the floor looked good and came out nice. it nicked a little easier then I thought it would. I was hoping it would have been harder. In general I'd say there were too many small boards - less than 18 in. I was able to keep waste to a minimum by using bad boards in closets and starting rows with the small boards so i ended up with about one box of waste out of 20 not counting end pieces i cut off. Not too many unusable boards. The fit was mostly good except on the short end of the boards. About 10-15% of those weren't milled correctly and I had to stop and clean off the tongue so it would fit in the groove. That really slowed me down. I got stuck with one box that they wouldn't take back. Beware of the 30 day retrun policy and only returning unopened boxes. They told me about the unopend boxes when I asked about returns but not the 30 day poicy. It is written on the invoice but who reads those. For a place that caters to DIYers you'd think they'd be more flexible, especially when they tell you to let it sit in the house for a week. Three weeks is not enough time to finish large projects working weekends only.
Service and delivery comments:
Didn't like the 30 day return policy. not enough time if you;re doing a big project DIY.
Best Uses
When we picked up the floor we thought is was more than we needed, but industry says to get 20% for cuts and scrap. I would have to disagree as we had to return one full box and I still have half a box for fix-ups and half a box of stuff that should never be allowed to be sold. My husband and I did the 420 squ ft. in 3 days and it looks great. He would use the nail gun and I would hold and jigsaw puzzle the next row. We only cut 5 pieces and we still have leftover. It is a lot of hard work but it looks so wonderful. I won't let anyone walk on it yet...So go ahead and buy it and install it, it is super looking....
Best Uses
I would recommend this product.
Best Uses
This product was used to replace carpeting through out the main level of a townhouse. While the floor looks beautiful, I was disappointed in the quality of this product. I've used this brand before and was very satisfied. However, this time I specifically upgraded to 'select' quality to avoid 'mill-run' imperfections. What I got, was full of worm holes and imperfections. Some boards looked as if they had been hit with buckshot, they were so loaded with holes. The waste factor proved excessively high. Needless to say, I will avoid this brand in the future.
Best Uses
The flooring looks great and was relatively easy to install. There were very few unusable pieces, so the project moved along very smoothly. My only complaint is that the product description doesn't mention that this is WHITE OAK. If you are matching this up with other oak in your home, be sure to understand whether your oak is red or white and what degree of variation you have among your planks. The grain on white oak is noticeably different than red oak, and you'll be disappointed with your results. Otherwise, the floors look great.
Best Uses
We installed these wood floor on the two bedrooms on the second floor. One box had high percentage of damaged planks, so we contacted Lumber Liquidators and they were very accommodating by sending us additional four boxes at good discount. Plus, the shipment of additional boxes was free.
Eventually, during the installation, it appeared that first box was the worst; others had reasonably expected percentage of damaged planks – around 7%.
We acclimatized the wood planks for a week. The floor was installed by professional contractor. The resulting look is beautiful. The only one con that there are noticeable gaps at the end of wood planks. According our contractor, this is problem of how ends of planks were done during the manufacturing process. The size of gaps is less then thickness of credit card that seems like acceptable standard in the industry. Also, some sites suggest that this is because the floor was installed during dry winter months and will set eventually when the weather becomes more humid.
Overall, we are very satisfied with the project and want to thank Lumber Liquidators for great customer service and knowledgeable advices.

Botanical Name: Quercus Rubra = Janka Rating: 1290Q:
Can this product be installed over existing (site finished) hardwoods?1 answer
Yes you can, provided you run the new flooring diagonally over the existing hardwood. When running the new flooring in the same direction as the existing hardwood the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) recommends adding a layer of real plywood of at least 3/8" in between the new and the existing hardwood floor. This allows both floors to expand and contract in relation to humidity without affecting the other. ¼" Luan is not recommended for nail down applications because it is not a structure board.Q:
Can you put the hardwood over ceramic tile?1 answer
This is a solid 3/4" product designed to be nailed to a wood substrate.

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the person or persons who left a threatening message on a stall in a boys bathroom at Tippecanoe Middle School on Tuesday.
The discovery of the threat prompted district officials to evacuate the school so K-9 units from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base could search the building. Nothing dangerous or out of the ordinary was found, according to Tipp City Schools Superintendent John P. Kronour.
Tuesday's threat follows three consecutive threats last week — on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Until Tuesday, all of those threats were found at the district's high school. Tuesday's was the first at the middle school.
"It's getting old," Kronour said.
Tipp City police Sgt. Chris Graham said a phone message went to parents offering a reward to anyone with information that leads to one or more arrests stemming from the threats.
An initial reward of $500 was increased to $1,000 late Tuesday night, according to police and school officials. Earlier Tuesday, Graham had said the reward could increase because several people expressed interest in adding to it.
The person responsible for making the threats could face felony charges.
Graham said that between the costs associated with overtime for officers and investigators, response-time costs and bomb-sniffing dogs, thousands of dollars have been spent responding to the threats.
Kronour has said district officials are working with police to heighten security at the school.
He also said officials are working to keep parents informed through recorded phone messages that parents receive if they sign up for them. Some parents are becoming aware of the incidents early as students are texting them from school.
"We're doing everything we can to make sure students are safe," Kronour said.
A public meeting will be held Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at L.T. Ball Intermediate School. Kronour, Graham and FBI Special Agent Timothy Ferguson will address any questions regarding the threats or safety measures at the schools.

<Please do not republish posts from other fora. Thank you.> If you want extreme case of how bad state of DMOZ is Slovenian language category has only 876 links at the same time Slovenian Wikipedia is closing to 50000 articles being 27th largest wiki in the World! There are probably more links on Wikipedia then in DMOZ! Directory of Slovenian websites najdi.si has 57612 links! It is interesting how wikipedia has no problem in digging up enough editors to write 50k articles while at the same time there is nobody at DMOZ? One reason for this is that there are few metas which understand anything more then English so World categories are neglected because unwritten DMOZ rule that it is better to have dead category then risk possible spammers getting in. :-( [edited by: Webwork at 3:03 pm (utc) on July 9, 2007]
DMOZ is shrinking because there are less and less editors each day and if that wasn't enough long time dedicated editors are getting removed for not following Meta editors party line and actually trying to fix DMOZ by removing pedophile websites which somehow managed to stay listed for years! >:-(
