How do I improve my bottom end?
Every track I produce I always get the same feedback, nice track plenty of energy, bottom end could do with some work! I have to totally agree with this feedback, musically of course although my wife might agree non musically So any one with advice out there on how to fatten and punch my kicks and oomph the bass like in so many produced dance tracks, I have read up on eq'ing and that seems like an art I need to get familiar with, so where do I start? Any decent tutorials out there? I use compression, but that just seems to increase my volume and cause clipping rather than fatten up my kicks? Does the kick sample matter? Does anyone have a recommended kick sample pack? Any help would be much appreciated as this is the one part of my music productions that seems to let me down. Thanks Chris. |

Shut up, Chris Brown! As this delusional misogynist deletes his Twitter account after hurling abuse at Jenny Johnson, let's hope he stays quiet
This isn't the first time the rapper has offended women, and it won't be the last
Anyone who has a passing association with social media will probably be aware that singer Chris Brown has suspended his Twitter account after hurling misogynistic and sexualised insults at comedian Jenny Johnson.
To see the full transcript of Brown's NSFW tweets, you can go here, and it's likely you will be pretty disgusted. A few brave commentators have pointed out that Johnson has been aiming derogatory comments at Brown ever since his 2009 conviction for his vicious assault against then-partner Rihanna, and that she started this particular exchange by calling him a 'worthless piece of shit'. Others have added that this is mere publicity-seeking on the part of Johnson.
But even if it is, Brown's reponse - where he threatens to defecate in Johnson's eye/mouth, calls her a 'worthless bitch' 'a bushpig' and tells her to 'suck my dick YOU HOE' [sic] - has proven exactly what Johnson and countless other appalled women and men have been saying for years. Namely that, far from being a 'reformed character' just because he 'served his sentence' (and more on why that's such an inadequate defence, later), Brown remains a total misogynist, and one with a frightening lack of self-awareness to boot.
Twitter trolls are at best annoying, and at worst severely disruptive to one's life and sanity. However, the solution to them remains in our hands - ignore and block. Brown could have blocked Johnson long ago, but egotist that he is, he chose to engage and show his true colours instead. He could have responded with some dignity or at least attempted to defend himself in a reasoned way. But I guess a man who bites, punches and throttles a woman while screaming "I'm going to kill you!" perhaps isn't particularly schooled in the nuances of having a mature debate with another person, and not using any excuse to rise to the bait.
While I don't believe in 'trial by social media', I do believe in winding your bloody neck in when the thing you're most renowned for is a vile, violent, inexcusable assault on the person you're supposed to love, rather than repeatedly behaving like an obnoxious idiot and then making out you're just so bafflingly oppressed by 'haterz'. And don't even get me started on Brown's use of social media to label his legion of followers 'Team Breezy', as if to somehow imply that his crimes are something that we should all be 'super casual' and 'mellow' about.
To those then, who will inevitably come back with 'He served his sentence and said he was sorry' defence, sorry but no dice. That defence will only stand when we live in a world where violence against women is adequately punished, and all the evidence at hand shows that this is far from the case. I remember over a decade ago, how Mike Tyson's supporters clamoured to defend him when he was barred from entering Britain on grounds of his rape conviction. Women and men were vox-popped on the evening news bleating 'But he's done his time, forget it, move on'.
Oh sure, Tyson did his time for raping Desiree Washington. He was sentenced to six years, but served three. If you were an average sized woman forced into sex by someone with the physical strength, power and capacity for violence of Mike Tyson, would you think that an adequate sentence? Not to mention if you had to go through the media circus and complete annihilation of your character that would follow the (extremely brave) action of accusing one of the world's most famous and admired men, as Tyson was at the time? It's pitiful, that out of the very few rape cases that actually reach court, sentences remain so light, and it defies logic to think that a man who thinks he can use force to dominate a woman is going to be magically reformed by undergoing such a sentence.
This is illustrated perfectly by Chris Brown's behaviour. His sentence was a joke, and whatever public 'apology' he was forced to issue for PR reasons, his behaviour since 2009 implies he is utterly unremorseful. He served no jail time, and got a mere five year's probation with six months community labour. Reading the description of the frenzied, possibly murderous assault Brown unleashed on Rihanna, I think most of us would agree that this is in no way proportionate to the terror and pain his victim underwent and will probably continue to undergo in the aftermath. When someone punches you repeatedly in the head and then squeezes on your carotid artery while you scream for help, you don't just get over that overnight, or in a year, or even five years. I'd wager it stays with you for life.
And whether Rihanna herself appears forgiving of Brown is irrelevant. We've all heard the term Stockholm Syndrome, and anyone who has done the slightest bit of research on domestic violence, or worse, experienced it themselves, will tell you that victims regularly defend and make excuses for their attacker. Even if Rihanna and Brown actually do start up a relationship again, this is in no way evidence that Brown is magically 'reformed', and could end up being quite the opposite - the average domestic abuse victim will leave their abuser only to return to them seven times before managing to leave for good. It's also worth bearing in mind that domestic abuse victims will usually endure repeated beatings before even calling the police.
Had Brown's attack on Rihanna not occurred in public, whereby worried bystanders overheard Rihanna's screams and called the police, the story could have played out very differently. Brown's victim deciding she wants to forgive him or still wants to be in a relationship with him does not negate what he did, or improve his character, or erase the surrounding culture of victim-blaming and apologism for violence against women.
Ah yes, that culture. That culture whereby a rich, powerful man who is looked up to by millions describes another man's violence against a woman as a 'mistake' and demands that we give that man 'a break'. That culture whereby Rihanna being punched, choked and bitten is merely a punchline in a primetime panel quiz show (which was also tastefully broadcast on International Stop Violence Against Women Day), and where complaints against such filth are dismissed on grounds of 'varying tastes of humour'. In such a culture, there is no punishment harsh enough, no disgust deep enough, no grudge held long enough against the likes of Brown.
Served his time, my backside. And if you think I'm being unfair, imagine what happened to Rihanna happening to your wife, girlfriend, sister, daughter, mother or friend, and tell me how forgiving you'd feel four years later, when the man who had beaten, strangled and bloodied the woman you care about is rich, successful and hurling vile abuse at another woman on social media. Somehow I doubt you'd be rushing to defend delusional misogynist Brown either.

There historical female military leaders are here to kick butt and chew bubble gum, and they're all out of bubble gum.
What's with the name?
by Jill Pantozzi | 4:15 pm, November 20th, 2012
At a recent trip to the theater I was greeted with two things; one was a message from the chain asking us not to use our cellphones during the show, another was a paid advertisement that talked about texting during a movie as if it were ok. Needless to say, while I assume most people are against cell phone usage of any kind during a film, there are those out there who think it's ok. But a new app aims to reward customers for good behavior. Will it work?
Theater chain Cinemark has created CineMode, an app inside their regular movie app. Here's how it works according to their press release:
Um, best idea ever? If they had theaters near me I would totally take part and I'm one of those people who turn their phones completely off during a movie.
James Meredith, Cinemark's Vice President of Marketing & Communications said, "It is important to develop tools that maximize and preserve the movie-going experience. For a while, our customers have asked us to design an alternative and creative solution that addresses texting and cell phone issues in our auditoriums. Now, through the Cinemark app, CineMode targets these courtesy issues through the very same devices that are causing the problems. Additionally, now our guests have the ability to earn rewards that can be used during their next visit to Cinemark."
What do you think of the new idea? It doesn't say exactly what the rewards are, most likely discounts or free items, but I think it's really smart. Plus, those who absolutely need to keep their phones on for emergencies can still do so.

Conor Gillaspie, Charlie Culberson and the Depth Issue
When Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval went down two weeks ago with a broken bone in his left hand two things happened: San Francisco lost the heart of their offense, and the organization's lack of infield depth at the Major and upper Minor League levels was almost immediately exposed.
To replace Sandoval the front office called up Conor Gillaspie, their number one third base prospect at Triple A Fresno.
Not only was Gillaspie unable to get his bat going (6 games, 20 ABs, .150AVG), it became clear he did not have a Major League-caliber arm. Several of Gillaspie's routine plays were much closer than they should have been, and he simply didn't appear to have the afterburner arm needed to get outs when throwing off-balance or charging bunts.
Eventually extra infielder Joaquin Arias was tabbed to take over at third base until Sandoval returns. Arias has filled in very well defensively and on this team his .250 BA makes him an offensive god in the batting order.
At second base it appears that Freddy Sanchez may be rehabbing through the rest of his contract. Ryan Theriot (.217) and Emmanuel Burriss (.221) have shown little either defensively or offensively.
So to fix second base, the Giants brought up Charlie Culberson from Triple A Fresno, who in a very small sample size is hitting .091 in 3 games, with 11 ABs and 4 SOs. But Culberson is not the long range solution at second base for San Francisco-- a guy named Joe Panik will likely fill that role.
Minor League hitting machine Joe Panik is playing shortstop at Single A Salem-Keizer and is putting up serious numbers: .346AVG/.401OBP/.868OPS. Panik is several years away from the Majors and a college injury will likely mean he joins the big team as a second baseman.
It's true that minor league shortstops Nick Noonan, 23, at Fresno (.314/.369/.768), and Ehire Adrianza, 22, at AA Richmond, have at times shown promise either at the plate (Noonan) or with the glove (Adrianza). And Chris Dominguez at Richmond has great potential as a third baseman with power.
But here's the 400 pound reality check in the room: there are simply no immediate upgrades available to Bruce Bochy at those three critical infield positions.
Management started the 2012 season giving shortstop Brandon Crawford a reluctant pass on his hitting in order to bring his outstanding glove to the Giants' infield. Crawford has fulfilled the hitting part of the bargain (.225 BA, .275 OBP) but hasn't found a consistent defensive groove.
Crawford clanked 8 errors in the first month and a half of the season, but my guess is he settles down and that glove starts to get consistent and routinely spectacular real soon.
[There's seems to be an epidemic of shortstop errors in the National League-- the Cubs' Starlin Castro has 8 errors, LA's Dee Gordon has 9 errors, and the otherwise incredible Troy Tulowitzki has 7 errors. Go figure.]
What the Giants' minor league system is producing is a lot of really promising outfielders (Gary Brown, Francisco Peguero, Roger Kieschnick) and catchers (Hector Sanchez, Tommy Joseph, Andrew Susac).
If the long range plan is to put Buster Posey at first base, you can start to see in the direction San Francisco will need to go to upgrade the infield: trading some number of Major League prospects, like Brandon Belt, Hector Sanchez, or maybe Brett Pill, as well as some number of the above named minor league outfielders and catchers.
For now, San Francisco is a team desperately treading water. In the twelve games played since Sandoval was put on the DL San Francisco hitters have managed only a .248 BA and scored an average of 3.33 runs per game-- usually a recipe for 4-8 record. The Minnesota Twins are averaging 3.31 runs per game which has earned them 10 wins and 26 losses so far this season-- the worst record in baseball.
But the Giants are 6-6 in those twelve games, yet another example of how dominant pitching can help compensate for a batting line-up that cannot score runs. With the Panda out for another four weeks, this is a team waiting for a winning streak and trying to stay relevant in the NL West.

Vandals strike in north Lincoln! Windows shot by a BB gun, and no one knows who did it!
Just weeks before Christmas, a single mom wakes up to her car window shot and broken into pieces.
Meranda sterns, who lives near 30th and Starr woke up this morning to take her son to school, and found glass all over the driver seat and the window broken.
Sterns says a police officer approached her to tell her she wasn't the only victim.
"Four cars down the street got theirs, and he said it was probably some kids who got a new bb gun and was trying it out," Sterns said.
Lincoln police say all the cars were hit by BB guns between 3 and 7 AM. No one saw it happen.
Right around the same time, police say four more car windows were also broken out around 63rd and Leighton. Police aren't sure if the cases are related.
Stern says she's not surprised this went on. It's not the first but she hopes it's the last.
"Oh, I'm pretty angry because this is not only the first time this year that it happened but the second time. Kids around here don't understand that moms that are single can't afford it," Sterns said.
Sterns said she knows the area has a high crime rate, but she says she's disappointed it had to happen during the holiday season. This will put a damper on the presents she can buy for her kids.
"It's almost Christmas time and now I have to pay for my window cuz they want to drive around and be idiots," Sterns said.
Sterns said she has insurance, but with a $500 deductible and the possibility of premiums going up, she'll pay this one out of pocket.

The Eastern Published by the Students of General Beadle State Teachers College VOL. 36 MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA, APRIL, 1956 No. 8 Three Students Attend North Dakota LSA Workshop Colleen Ferry, Bill Klopf, and Charles Tolk attended the annual LSA workshop which was held on April 5-7 in Valley City, N. D. The main purpose of the workshop is to give leaders in LSA groups new ideas for leading the groups. Each LSA organization talks over its problems, and solutions are then suggested. This year the main topic was the evaluating and application of Bible study. It was felt by those in attendance that most LSA's are falling down in their study of the Bible, and that this topic was particularly important. Eighteen colleges from South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota participated in the meeting, a total of about fifty-five students being present. Bird Study Class Sees Waterfowl Migrations Before the sun is completely over the horizon, a small group of 15 make their way over unfamiliar roads in order to see and identify the varied species of bird life. This group, which meets at 7 o'clock twice a week, is Miss Ruth Habeger's Bird Study class. Each member keeps his own record of birds seen, dates seen, and also a life list as a record of all birds seen. From these records Miss Habeger has compiled a ten- year record, containing the names of 200 species of birds, the earliest dates and the average dates of their arrival. Students have also helped Miss Habeger with the Christmas bird census and the banding of birds. An estimated 15,000 geese and 10,000 ducks were seen by the class on one day, most of whom were near Brandt Lake and Wentworth slough. Miss Habeger says this has been an exceptionally good year to observe water fowl of this type. Tribune Cover Girl Results Due Soon Balloting for the "Campus Cover Girl" contest sponsored by the Minneapolis Tribune has been completed. The winner will appear on the cover of a "Picture Magazine" in the near future. A picture of Marilyn Spurgin, who represents GBSTC, was shown May 1 and 8 in the Tribune with those of other contestants. The winner is to be chosen by the votes of the readers. Last summer Marilyn was chosen "Dairy Queen" and "Miss Inter-Lakes. She was also a member of the Homecoming royalty this fall. GB Student Panel Wins Second Place in College TV Contest The TV Quiz in which a panel of GB students, has been participating was concluded on April 14. In this final quiz, our panel met the University panel, the scores, being GBSTC, 3505; University, 3990. A cup was awarded to the University panel. Our panel started this final contest with 3255 points to the 3340 of the University, a difference of 95 points. The final meeting of teams was determined on the basis of total points earned during all of the contests, Sioux Falls College and Augustana having been eliminated earlier because of their lower scores. Members of the local panel were: Keith Barenklau, Martha Lou Osborne, Nyla Leighton, and Kenneth Thurow. Carol Everson and Jim Mullaney were alternates, and Duke Frederick, instructor in history, was adviser. 1956-7 STUDENT OFFICERS Standing: Henry Kunkel and Tom McCoy. Seated: Jack Conway, Dennis Shaw, Kathleen Hare and Dana Grimstvedt. Dennis Shaw was chosen Student Body President and Jack Conway was elected Vice-President in the recent election. Other officers elected were: Kathleen Hare, secretary-treasurer; Tom McCoy, council man at large; Dana Grirnstvedt, council woman; and Henry Kunkel, councilman, Carol Everson was selected the most representative woman, woman with the best personality, and the woman most likely to succeed. William McCoy was selected most representative man. Keith Barenklau and Jerry Sullivan tied for the position of man most likely to succeed. Dennis Shaw was selected as the man with the best personality. Robert Gee and Dr. June Emry were voted the best liked teachers. $50 Prize Is Contest Lure An essay contest on "Why I Am A Republican" is being jointly sponsored by the National Young Republican Federation and the South Dakota Young Republican League for American citizens between the ages of 17 and 25 as of Nov. 6.

National sponsors help make the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway a success
Sponsors such as Brizo® and Shaw Floors have helped the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway play a major role in supporting the lifesaving work of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Brizo became a national sponsor in 2010, providing fixtures in the kitchens and baths of each St. Jude Dream Home house nationwide.
The company believes the power of dreams is limitless. They are supporting St. Jude to help realize the biggest dream of all: curing childhood cancer.
In 2011, Shaw Floors joined Brizo and became the exclusive flooring provider of the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway. Each home given away—from California to Virginia—features Shaw flooring.
Shaw Floors is proud to be a national sponsor of the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway. The company believes that by joining St. Jude, their products become more than the floors you walk on everyday—they are helping save the lives of children.
St. Jude treats children with cancer and other deadly diseases with pioneering research and exceptional care. And no family ever pays St. Jude for anything.
Brizo faucets and Shaw flooring provide an added incentive for supporters to get their $100 St. Jude Dream Home tickets for a chance to win one of more than 30 homes given away nationwide.
And while the giveaway offers participants a chance to win, it really gives supporters the guarantee of helping families in the most difficult times of their lives.

Left Charleston late, we stopped in Columbia 30 minutes after dark.
Dinner: Chick fil a french fries with Polynesian sauce.

Drove back to the hotel and then later went to Clark's for dinner. We both had catfish which was the first time either of us had had this and it was nice. Went back to the hotel and got some ice cream then watched tv for the evening.
No idea what we are going to do ...

Chris has chicken parm which he liked too. We both had minestrone soup as this is free with a main. Also unlimited breadsticks come with the meal. All very nice.Then we drove back to the hotel just as a family with several kids including a baby moved into the room opposite. I hope they are ...
Thank You, Mr. President!
We are stuck on the runway. Security has been heightened due to Obama being at the airport. Marine One just landed, and they aren't letting anyone move to the gates.

Posted November 30, 2012 on
AP on Fox
Not even the party atmosphere in Las Vegas can cut the tension between Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer.
The two drivers haven't spoken since Gordon intentionally wrecked Bowyer at Phoenix on Nov. 11, an incident that triggered a garage-area melee between the drivers' crews and earned Gordon a $100,000 fine from NASCAR.
Gordon said Thursday that the season-ending activities this week in Las Vegas have been ''awkward'' because he and Bowyer haven't socialized. Bowyer is popular among the other drivers and considered the life of the party.
''It's been awkward because I've always had a good relationship with him; we've always talked and had fun,'' Gordon said. ''That's obviously not the case. I thought he might have gotten over it at least enough to look at me, but he won't even look at me, and when you are in this type of environment, that's going to be odd.''
Bowyer, meanwhile, still doesn't want to discuss the incident. He and Gordon spoke in the NASCAR hauler at Phoenix, but haven't talked since.
Bowyer would not talk about it with reporters during the season finale at Homestead and on Thursday indicated he's not ready to resolve the issue with Gordon. He three times tried to change the subject, even once attempting to instead talk about nightclubs before finally growing exasperated.
''Good God,'' he said. ''Is that my story I have to talk about?''
When told it was the story until it's resolved, Bowyer indicated he's not ready to resolve the issue with Gordon.
''I ain't resolving it,'' he said. ''It probably ain't going to happen. It probably ain't going to get resolved this year. No more races.''
Bowyer abruptly ended his media availability a few moments later, saying he was ready to go get changed out of his suit.
Bowyer still wasn't biting during a fan event at Planet Hollywood when he and Gordon's faces were superimposed on a pair of broken hearts as Taylor Swift's ''We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'' played.
''Oh it ain't mended,'' he said. ''Let's make fun of someone else.''
But Bowyer was able to make fun of his now infamous run from pit road to the Phoenix garage, where his crew was fighting after the accident. The run was replayed Thursday at the ''After the Lap'' fan event in slow motion to the ''Chariots of Fire'' theme song.
Gordon said earlier Thursday he was unsure if he and Bowyer would get past this issue.
''Listen, I'm not here to make friends,'' he said. ''I like his friendship. It can stay this way. But we have to race each other. I know what this all came about from and he might not agree and I'm sure we're going to disagree about a lot of things, and we'll go race on next year and see what happens.''
Gordon, a four-time champion, said he retaliated at Phoenix in a heat of the moment reaction to a grudge he'd been carrying for at least seven months. He'd been angry with Bowyer since Martinsville in April, when Bowyer played a role in costing Hendrick Motorsports its 200th victory.
The race had been dominated that day by Gordon and teammate Jimmie Johnson, and a late caution had set up a restart with the teammates lined up side-by-side at the front. Bowyer restarted in the second row, on new tires, and got a shove from behind from Ryan Newman. He dove to the inside of Gordon and Johnson, made contact, and all three wrecked.
Although Bowyer and Gordon spoke at the track that day, the two drivers had other on-track incidents between them over the season, including another run-in at Martinsville last month, but they had a conversation after that, too.
But something made Gordon snap at Phoenix after late contact between the two. When Gordon retaliated, he mathematically eliminated Bowyer from championship contention.

Samsung Gleams with Verizon Wireless
It's been a busy week for Verizon Wireless. Just days after it released four sparkling new phones, the carrier today announced yet another model, the Samsung Gleam SC-U700. We suppose the "Gleam" name comes from the phone's silver-and-black skin. Yes, we know that black won't exactly gleam in the sunlight, but the handset also has a silver keypad. Otherwise the flip phone has a pretty standard design with a thin (0.55-inch) profile.
Inside you'll find the usual range of Verizon multimedia features. The support for EV-DO networks brings compatibility with the carrier's … Read more

T-Mobile sues Starbucks over Wi-Fi deal
T-Mobile USA is suing Starbucks, accusing the coffee behemoth of a breach of contract by allowing AT&T to provide customers with free Wi-Fi access in its cafes.
In a complaint filed Thursday in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, T-Mobile says Starbucks "secretly" developed a plan with AT&T to provide Wi-Fi at its cafes, despite an exclusive partnership with T-Mobile. T-Mobile, which is seeking unspecified damages, alleges the companies broke an agreement over how Starbucks should transition the service from T-Mobile to AT&T, according to Reuters.

Love's Little Blind Spots
By Tim Jarvis
Oprah.com | From the April 2008 issue of
O, The Oprah Magazine
The power of your partner's self-absorption—how he or she can sit so cheerfully through dinner, oblivious to the fact that you're visibly upset, for example—may amaze you, but don't write off the relationship so fast. There are a couple of good excuses to explain such clueless behavior, and they're likely to apply to you as well.
The first excuse has to do with an innocent brain glitch called attentional blink. Originally described by Canadian scientists in 1992, it occurs in certain circumstances when, for a split second, "we literally become unconscious of what might be happening right in front of us," says Richard Davidson, PhD, professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Researchers can elicit the blink by showing subjects a rapid stream of numbers on a computer screen and asking them to hit a button every time they see a 3. When two 3s appear closely together, Davidson says, almost nobody hits the button twice. "It's as if the mind gets stuck on the occurrence of the first and misses the second."
This is particularly true when we're in a heated or passionate interchange. "With emotional cues, our attention is very sticky," he explains.
"We tend to grasp onto certain things, which is really what causes us to miss the others. Rubbernecking on the freeways is an example of attentional grasping." Davidson's latest research showed, however, that three months of intensive vipassana—or insight—meditation significantly reduced attentional blink. "Vipassana increases awareness of one's surroundings in a nonjudgmental, nonreactive way," Davidson says, but he believes any kind of meditation, even 20 minutes a day, could make spouses better at reading each other's subtleties.
There's another reason people fail to notice their lover's gestures, expressions, or words: "If you're doing well as a couple, basically you have a reservoir of goodwill, so he can be momentarily neglectful or mean-spirited, and it's discounted," says Timothy W. Smith, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of Utah who studies the effects of marital interactions on health. "But couples not doing so well are quick to make a great deal of the lapse." Smith agrees that meditation can help spouses connect with more clarity and awareness.
Davidson recommends starting with a simple meditation of focusing on your breath; when your mind wanders, notice how it's distracted, and come back to your breathing. With regular practice, he says, "I believe a couple would be able to pick up more information about each other's emotional state and do it in a way that is not judgmental. The combination of those two things bodes quite well for improving interpersonal relationships."

Pittsburgh Travel Guide
Why? Set between rivers and sprawling across seven hills,
a holiday in Pittsburgh offers a plethora of leisure and pleasure
options in a city that was built on the blood, sweat and tears of
hard labour. Filled with a hodge-podge of ethnic neighbourhoods and
guarding some cultural treasures, a Pittsburgh holiday is crammed
with things to do and see, from an 18th century French fortress to
the National Aviary.
When? The best seasons to travel to Pittsburgh are during
spring and autumn, when the weather is pleasantly mild. Summers
tend to be marred by uncomfortable heat waves, while winters are
bitterly cold.
Who for? Culture vultures particularly enjoy a holiday in
Pittsburgh, which sports world-class museums, theatres and the
famed Carnegie Library. A Pittsburgh holiday also appeals to anyone
interested in industrial history and architecture.
More info: Plan your holiday in Pittsburgh with the help of
our comprehensive Pittsburgh travel guide, which is packed with
detailed information about the many attractions and events in the
city, and an overview of public transport. The guide can be printed
out and packed to take with you on your Pittsburgh holiday.
Pittsburgh from Mt Washington © Pennsylvania Tourism
Built by hard-bitten immigrants who were drawn to her steel mills, the city of Pittsburgh is now sitting back on its laurels and offering a more leisurely and aesthetically pleasing lifestyle to residents and visitors alike. Once dubbed 'the Smoky City', Pittsburgh's mills have closed down and the emphasis now is on making the most of the city's natural beauty. Pittsburgh is finally doing justice to its situation, lying between the Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers with the Allegheny Mountains in the background. No wonder the city and environs now boasts the largest concentration of pleasure boats in America, while its thriving ethnic neighbourhoods surround a clean, friendly metropolitan centre filled with trees, shops, restaurants, museums, galleries and theatres. Attractions abound in this scenic city from the world's fastest continuous track roller-coaster to the largest single-artist museum in the United States; and from an eerie Gothic mansion to free summer concerts in a beautiful park.

Validus taps DC power to save energy in data centers
Can going back to direct current--favored by Thomas Edison--make data centers more modern and energy-efficient?
Start-up Validus on Monday is scheduled to announce the availability of a DC-based electricity distribution system tailored specifically for data centers.
The company, which raised $10 million in venture funding last December, has an initial Fortune 50 company customer that's looking to reduce energy consumption at its corporate data center, according to CEO Rudy Kraus.
The idea of using direct current, rather than alternating current, to reduce power consumption has been around for a long time. The telecom industry relies primarily on DC power … Read more

"People in Arizona carry guns," said a Chandler police spokesman. "You better be careful about who you are picking on."
As already stated you are issued a permit so you can defend yourself not your property. If you were in your car and being forced/threatened to exit the car you might have a stand your ground case. I gotta say I'm not the sort of person that just gives in, but I am not law enforcement.
But I like that you come up with what-if scenarios. I do it all the time to train myself on how I should react in different given situations.
You don't need a permit to protect your property. I'd open the car door and yank the jackass out of my car.
If I was able to open the door and go hands on, I'd enjoy it to put it mildly. If I was too late getting there, I'd try to vetch some video on my cell.
I'm a single father and my son's too young to be sitting in the car without me so that isn't a scenario I'd have to address.
Drawing my weapon wouldn't even cross my mind unless he were to come at me in a threatening manner.

Forcible entry into an OCCUPIED CAR is legal reason in SC to presume imminent threat of death or great bodily injury. You may not be in the car but the Alter Ego rule in SC allows you to act for others (your kids)as if it is you in the car. As most have said, property does not equate to imminent threat of death or great bodily injury and a firearm is only going to cause you a whole lot of grief, civil and legal costs, and probably prison. In SC, it this happens AT NIGHT and ONLY AT NIGHT, we have an old law on the books concerning citizens arrest. You can affect a citizens arrest if you presume there is a felony and if the BG decides to evade your arrest you can use any means possible including death to prevent the evasion of the arrest. Simply put, you can shoot him in the back to stop him from running away--like it or agree with it or not this law is on the books and has case law substantiation. In addition, a good shoot precludes any civil responsibilities.
Since I always lock my car when I'm out of it, they would have to have broken in and are likely trying to hot wire it. That would likely give me time to open the car door and pepper spray them.
But your car also has your address (registration) and likely a garage door opener. Something to keep in mind.
But for the record, I don't think any of us would just stand there and watch. I'd at least say something. But definitely no need for drawing your gun.
I knew a guy and he was so upside down on his truck and it had high mileage that he would leave the keys in it running hoping someone would take it.
It was such a wreck no one would even steal it
What I would do depends on a few variables. Is he just sitting in the car trying to get it started? Is it running and he is pulling away? First thing I would do in either case is hit the red panic button. My alarm is so obnoxious and it will not stop unless you have the fob or put the key in the door and manually unlock it. If he is rolling away, call the cops. If he is sitting in the car and not rolling yet, unlock the door with the fob and beat his arse. I have got to get a remote kill switch!!!
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Guns are like sex and air...its no big deal until YOU can't get any.
Depends on which car. My daily driver, I would hand him the key. My wife's truck call insurance company and make sure it was covered. My 1972 Dodge Power Wagon W200- Aint NO WAY he is driving away with that.
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
