Police: Man shot in Danby dies, woman stabbed expected to surviveJune 17,2013

Vermont State Police investigate a shooting and stabbing Monday in Danby.
Staff Report
The stepmother of a Danby man who police said fatally shot a New York man Sunday night said the day after the incident that Michael White was only acting to defend his girlfriend and their children from harm.
"If he weren't there, he could have killed her. He defended his family," said Debbie White, the stepmother of Michael White, who police named Monday morning as the man who fatally shot Aaron Allen, 28, of Hudson Falls, N.Y.
Standing outside her home just hundreds of feet from the scene of the incident on John Corey Road, Debbie White said Allen had made repeated visits to the road and issued multiple threats.
"He said he was going to come up here and shoot everyone," Debbie White said of Allen.
The stepmother said that Michael White and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Heather Thompson, had been living together in a rented mobile home owned by her husband. The pair was fixing up the unit while raising two children, White's 6-year-old daughter and Thompson's 15-month-old daughter, who was fathered by Allen, according to Debbie White.
Allen, who police said had been shot twice by Michael White, was pronounced dead at Rutland Regional Medical Center. Thompson, who police said Allen stabbed multiple times, is being treated at the Rutland hospital and is expected to survive. Debbie White said Thompson had to undergo surgery and was recovering at the hospital Monday with Michael White by her side.
The stepmother added that Michael White was never taken into custody.
Police said they were called to a home on John Corey Road in Danby around 7:30 p.m. Sunday for a reported shooting and stabbing. Police said through an investigation they learned that Allen arrived at the home and attacked Thompson. Michael White, 24, of Danby, who was at the residence and is Thompson's current boyfriend, witnessed the attacked, according to police.
"White subsequently discharged a rifle, of an undetermined make and caliber, striking Allen twice," police wrote in a press release.
Police said the Thompson had an active restraining order from New York against Allen, and Allen also had pending criminal charges in New York involving the woman for an incident that took place in April for offenses including unlawful imprisonment.
Once the investigation is complete, police said, it will be forwarded to the Rutland County state's attorney's office for review.

Some Tennessee lawmakers say higher taxes could be the key to attracting more conventions to Nashville. While it may sound like just opposite of what a city should do, they say how that money is spent will make all the difference.
The tax increase would be on goods and services bought in Nashville's tourist development zone and the business improvement districts - the areas inside the Interstate 440 loop and The Gulch - and that money would then be used to lure more conventions to the new Music City Center.
People could see new taxes on things like food, drinks, short term parking, event tickets and retail sales. But the tax increase would not affect professional services, hotels, sporting events or overnight and monthly parking.
As for cost, the increase would be a quarter of 1 percent. So, think of it as about an extra penny on every beer you buy in a downtown honky tonk.
The money would then be used to offer incentives to groups that potentially want to hold their convention at the Music City Center.
Of course, some people oppose raising taxes - even by a small amount - but supporters of the proposed increase say it's designed to target tourists, not locals, and say even if locals do end up having to pay, the costs far outweigh the benefits.
"More conventions, more jobs, more tax revenue for the city that helps keep property taxes and other sales taxes lower," said Butch Spyridon, with the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Some bar owners have already come forward and said they would gladly eat the cost of the new tax instead of passing it on to their patrons because more conventions at the Music City Center means more tourists and more money for them.
The bill that would impose the new tax passed Tuesday in the State and Local Committee and heads to the Finance Ways and Means Subcommittee next week.

A 38-year-old man was jailed Thursday after investigators say he beat another man with a baseball bat over an alleged affair.
Chanel Noel of Marco Island was booked into the Collier County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery.
Investigators say Noel texted Abdelmajid Samir using Noel's wife's cell phone, luring Samir to the couple's home early Thursday morning.
The texts, according to an arrest report, instructed Samir to enter the home through an unlocked rear door in order to "facilitate a rendezvous between himself and Noel's wife."
When Samir arrived, Noel reportedly chased and attacked him with a baseball bat, causing injury.
Samir was taken to Physicians Regional Hospital for treatment, and Noel was placed under arrest.

I bought it months ago and still listening to it…
"Go" and "Closer" are my favorites.. The band song's writing has changed a little bit but the Earshot trade mark still there, hard rock/ alternative metal with the great excellent vocals of Martin.. Earshot acomplish with this record another "back, to back, to back" excellent album.
Earshot Biography - Earshot Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Looking beyond the status quo of the modern rock music of today, Earshot's third studio album, aptly titled "The Silver Lining", marks the start of what some believe is sure to be the beginning of a new and changing modern rock world of tomorrow. No doubt, that in the 48 minutes of listening to the bevy of infectiously memorable tracks, one can only describe this 11 song collection as a very cleverly crafted, re-defined and re-designed approach to their genre with a plethora of sonically raw and defining moments. Tracks such as "MisSunderstood", "Closer", "Pushing To Shove", "Wasted", "Don't Hate Me" and "Sometimes" are sure to please the Earshot faithful, and will undoubtedly serve to quickly convert new fans by songs with a penchant for massive hooks and loud guitars.

I bought it months ago and still listening to it…
The shipment I purchased for was sent off to me soon after I made the order and arrived on time. All-in-all, I was satisfied.
Why isn't this band getting more attention? I hate it when bands produce really good music and don't get the respect they deserve. This is 100 times better than any of the new band crap they constantly play on the radio today.
I bought this CD the day it came out. I haven't stopped listening to it yet. I think this is the Best Earshot CD so far!! You won't be disappointed.
It has been four years since "Two" was released, and 6 years since "letting go". This album falls back onto the "Letting Go" sound. The hard rock and great melodies are still there, but the overall mixing is more polished, with the vocals intertwined more with the music again. Highlight songs for me are Pushing to Shove, Go and Closer. This album caught me by surprise when it came out, and I only stumbled on it because it was displayed with the new releases. Something was watching out for me. If you are a fan, you need to get this album!!

This is a cedar aged wild ale. "Possibly infected," we were told. Definitely infected, I would say. But—it's a wild ale and that's part of the risk and reward. Described by my drinking buddy as "drinking an antique" from a garage sale.
Looks an intriguing hazy tan. Definite buttery/diacetyl aroma that steps up and smacks your olfactory nerves around. Whew! It was off-putting—but underneath it was this overpowering sour-tart aroma. I was afraid it drink this, based on the aroma alone, but … I was on a mission.
Resolve steeled I sipped cautiously. It was indeed like drinking a garage sale. Old, musty, stale, tart, like yellowed pages on dusty books or dimly lit basements. I think some of that was the cedar notes coming through—and a good deal of it was the 'wild' in a wild ale.
I could tell there was an interesting beer here. Just not today.

Indianapolis —
Stubbornly, America has turned the page from a distant past to an inclusive future.
Living in this time period and seeing the past fading away in the 2012 elections can be compared to that time when America was transitioning from an age of horse-back riding to the automobile age. At that time period, there were many horse-back riders who resisted the coming change to automobiles. However, there were those that accepted a future with automobiles and knew that horse-back riding was a fading past.
The 2012 election results should serve as a wake-up call to many in the Republican Party that the future is about real inclusiveness; and the distant past is a past that's fading away; a past that's out lived its usefulness.
The America that once was, reflected in the crowds Gov. Romney drew on the campaign trail, is a fading America holding onto outdated notions of the past.
With the Obama win, the world has witnessed an America leading the way toward a tent where all ideas are heard and all talents considered. That's the America seen in the crowds President Obama drew on his campaign trail. That America has turned the page from an old way to a new way; that new way will lead the world in tolerance.
The Obama win is about a melting-pot America updating and modernizing its tolerance.

RACING: Fry's plans for mares
7:00pm Wednesday 8th January 2014 in Sport By Echo Reporter
Harry Fry has picked out some valuable targets for three classy mares in his yard with Ascot-bound Highland Retreat heading the trio.
Winner of two valuable races so far this season, Highland Retreat collected a Kempton Listed race last time out in November and will step up in class for the Grade Two Warfield Mares' Hurdle on January 18.
The race was won two years ago by Violin Davies, then trained by Paul Nicholls but now with Fry, pictured above.
"Highland Retreat is due to run at Ascot in a few weeks in a Grade Two," said the Seaborough handler.
"There's a brilliant programme for these mares and the British Horseracing Authority and everybody should be congratulated.
"I'm lucky enough to have some classy mares and the races pick themselves really.
"Blue Buttons will go to Sandown in mid-February for a Listed novices' hurdle (Jane Seymour Mares' Novices' Hurdle, February 14).
"She was just touched off at Taunton over Christmas but it was a good run.
"Bitofapuzzle will also go to Sandown but in early March for the EBF (Mares') Bumper (March 8).
"I was very pleased Huntingdon rearranged the valuable bumper she won the other day, I knew she'd handle the ground well enough."
* Colin Tizzard's stable star Cue Card is one of 36 entries for the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup at the Festival on March 14.

Hey guys,
I'm interested in developing a tag-reader like MIDlet for my 6212. I was wondering:
1) How fast does the 6212 read cards? Say I hold a tag near the device and it reads it. How long does it take for it to be able to read another tag?
2) I understand that tags have a data buffer that can be written. First of all, how to you write to that buffer? And second of all, does writing a smaller buffer to the tag improve the tag reading performance? Does using a tag with a smaller data buffer improve performance?

How About The Tennis Court Construction In Miami?
If you are interested in tennis court construction Miami, you have some things to take into consideration. Do you want to do the work yourself, or do you want contractors to do it? Do you have enough space for your tennis court? What materials do you want to construct it with? Are you prepared to pay the cost?
Most tennis courts measure 60 feet wide by hundred 20 feet wide. If you want it to be regulation, it should be at least 55 feet wide and hundred and 15 feet long. You'll want to have at least that much room, and perhaps a little bigger so that you can accommodate seating.
What materials do you want to use in the construction? Most tennis surfaces are either asphalt, concrete, clay, or grass. Keep in mind, the harder the surface the less the maintenance costs.
Most surfaces of any kind require site preparation. Depending on the land you want to place it on, you're going to need to do soil analysis so that you know how to prepare the subgrade. The subgrade is the surface upon which concrete and asphalt rests. It has to be firm enough and stable enough to support the concrete or asphalt. Depending on the soil, you may need to drain it. Water in a subgrade spells disaster. It will loosen the soil and cause cracking in your surface, whether it be concrete or asphalt.
When you're considering tennis court construction choose in Miami, you'll want to consider orientation. What is the sun angle, and how will that affect your play? Is there a lot of wind in your area, and how will that affect your play? If you're going to play at night, orientation might not be that serious of the consideration as far as sun angle.
If you're going to play at night, what kind of lighting will you require? Will you need seating? Will you need backboards and windscreens, if wind is a problem in your area of Miami?
Finally you want to take in consideration that you're going to have to maintain this tennis court (see details at http://qworkstenniscourts.com/tennis-court-construction-miami/). Brooms, rakes, and perhaps access to a water hose, if it's going to be a concrete surface, are some of the necessary tools for maintenance.

The latest on Torrodney Prevot's commitment to USC and what it means for Texas, Penn State kicker Anthony Fera, whether or not the Texas Lonhgorns will open up fall practice this year. And more.
New Jersey defensive end Dajaun Drennon has been turning heads playing for Team USA in Austin. The Longhorns may be entering his recruitment, but where do they stand with him?
The newest prospect on the Texas Longhorns recruiting radar in 2013 is a Team USA member who drew the attention of the staff with strong efforts on the field. What is the latest with New Jersey...
Hate to beat this to death today, but that's a link to my post on the mothership, in which Drennon talks about his current top five and visit plans. I also caught up with his head coach this evening to talk about Dajaun and what I found was interesting, to say the least. Read it to find out what coach Hinson said. The conversation also increased my conviction that Drennon would be an excellent fit at Texas. And, in case you missed it earlier, I am hearing that the 'Horns have interest in the athletic defensive end.
2013 Sicklerville (NJ) defensive end Dajaun Drennon has an impressive offer list and recently narrowed his focus to five schools. Who made the list and which powerhouse program could be jumping...
The Texas Longhorns just lost a big-time weakside defensive end recruit when Daeshon Hall switched his pledge to Washington. But there may be an answer in Austin playing for Team USA: New Jersey...

Prospective transfer Aaron Cosby has been released by Seton Hall to talk with 40 schools. Wait, does that mean he's been blocked from contacting the other 307 Division 1 teams?! WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE!!! No, it probably means Seton Hall approved 40 schools that Cosby submitted requests to look at. The other 307 schools? Who cares. Sorry, this subject will always be a sore spot for Badger fans. This is just another example of how ridiculous the media was in vilifying Bo Ryan when Jarrod Uthoff left Wisconsin. Uthoff had no intention of transferring to Duke or Georgia Tech. But when media momentum gets behind a "great story" like "Wisconsin blocks Uthoff from entire ACC," it is a shame nobody stops to think about what is really happening. (h/t to The Champaign Room)

The Andover Townsman
---- — Medford slave house focus for Andover Chroniclers
Andover Chroniclers visited the Royall House and Slave Quarters in Medford to tape a segment for the February installment of "There's Something about Andover."
Built by a wealthy merchant in the 1700s, the beautifully crafted mansion once stood with a clear view of the Mystic River. A recent archaeological dig has revealed the lives of the more than 60 men, women and children held in bondage during the time of the Royall household.
Two other segments follow — one on Andover Chroniclers' visit to Restore, a store for building materials that is run by Habitat for Humanity, and another on the town's new lock box home security system.
"There's Something About Andover" is produced by Andover Chroniclers, an all-volunteer group of seniors from the Center at Punchard. The local-access show airs at 9 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday on Comcast Channel 8 and Verizon Channel 47.
Andover Chroniclers welcomes new members; prior experience is not necessary. Anyone who might be interested in any aspect of video production from planning to taping can email firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line Skip Wilkins.

By Patrick Battuello, In Behalf of Animals
While channel surfing one night, I came upon a show called Life on the Rock on EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network). The host, a Franciscan Friar, was interviewing two Catholic priests who were also passionate hunters. One, Father Joseph Classen, has a website called Hunting For God with information on his books (Hunting for God, Fishing for the Lord and Meat & Potatoes Catholicism). All the usual and well-versed hunting defenses are present; the ecological necessity to maintain balance among wildlife, the humane culling of deer populations to mitigate slower death by starvation and disease, humanitarian donations of excess meat to the less fortunate, and, least convincingly, protection of crops, landscaping, and careless drivers. This ground has already been covered in The Hunt. What makes Father Classen, hunter, interesting, is the uniquely religious defense and all-too-typical subterfuge.
For background, Classen quotes directly from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
God entrusted animals to the stewardship of those whom he created in his own image. Hence it is legitimate to use animals for food and clothing. They may be domesticated to help man in his work and leisure. Medical and scientific experimentation on animals is a morally acceptable practice if it remains within reasonable limits and contributes to caring for or saving human lives. It is likewise unworthy to spend money on them that should as a priority go to the relief of human misery. One can love animals; one should not direct to them the affection due only to persons.
In short, animals are soulless resources created for maintaining and improving mankind. So, along with the usual hunting jargon of communion with nature and participation in the life cycle (curiously, I know of no contemporary custom that involves leaving deceased human bodies in the wild for recycling), Catholic or Christian hunters may invoke God's will as justification. In the intro to Hunting for God, Classen writes, "…the pursuits of fishing and hunting have been a sacred catalyst which has revealed and guided me to something profoundly more significant than merely catching fish and harvesting game." Yet nowhere on his website could I find a Catholic rebuke of factory farming, fur farming, or animals used in entertainment. And, because human misery will always be with us, we are advised not to donate to animal advocacy groups or sanctuaries who work to alleviate animal suffering. It appears that the Church has decreed that animal suffering matters (recalling the St. Francis ethic of gentle kindness) but not enough to warrant meaningful aid.
On his website, Father Classen references a paper entitled The Myths of Vegetarianism by Stephen Byrnes. Myth #15: Eating animal foods is inhumane. "Nevertheless, many people have philosophical problems with eating animal flesh, and these sentiments must be respected. Dairy products and eggs, though, are not the result of an animal's death and are fine alternatives for these people." This notion, endorsed by Father Classen, demonstrates either gross ignorance or willful deception. Modern dairy cows and egg-laying hens endure more suffering than any other farm animals and certainly will be gruesomely slaughtered when they are spent.
I also find it offensive that the Church will go to great lengths to condemn abortion and homosexuality but is unwilling to teach respect (i.e., vegetarianism) for other sentient beings. Classen, in Meat & Potatoes Catholicism, writes, "In other classes, things like sexual promiscuity, homosexual activity, abortion, masturbation and other soul-destroying filth was presented to us as the acceptable norm that we should be supporting and celebrating." Homosexuality, abortion, and masturbation are soul-destroying filth, but modern factory farming (with all its negation, abuse, cruelty, misery, suffering, and violent destruction) escapes Classen's critical pen.
And this is the subterfuge…
…He [God] hooked me up with a monster 6 lb 22″ bass! - Father Classen
He's had triumphs too, like the day he used his bow to harvest a 10-point trophy buck.
- St. Louis Post-Dispatch book review on Father Classen
Hunting, for most, is primarily an egocentric activity; a satisfaction of a pleasure desire or competitive itch. As soon as the first pose is struck or hollowed body is mounted, a hunter reveals his central motivation.
That's not to say that hunters don't consider the other, more selfless, goals. Most hunters truly believe that they are acting with compassion by thinning herds, and, I would guess, that very little venison is ever wasted. But if it could be proven that, in the absence of hunting, deer populations would check themselves (with no more or less suffering than every other wild species), and if faux meats were created that replicated taste, texture, and nutrients (in fact, they already exist), hunters would still hunt. In simplest terms, they like (love) the activity.
From an animal rights perspective, hunting wildlife is preferable to factory farming. But it would be refreshing to hear Father Classen and other hunters dispense with the well-rehearsed arguments for hunting and exhibit real honesty.
The supposed wondrous humility experienced while outdoors communing with nature and forging bonds with God and His creations, is betrayed by celebratory pictures and taxidermist visits. This is all the more egregious when exhibited by a Catholic priest. Classen, careful to refute that hunting and fishing are sports, has said nonetheless, "As I gently released that beautiful fish I was reminded once again of an important lesson: put the Lord first in all things." Catch-and-release sounds suspiciously like a sport (or, at the very least, a leisure activity).
The Church acknowledges that animals can feel pain and suffer, and Classen points out nature's own indifference (including bloody ends) to life and death. But nature provides some comforts and even joys or pleasures. While maybe lacking the richness and variety of human pleasures, life for other sentient beings is more than an endless and all-consuming foraging as Father Classen would have us believe. Now, with the Church denying a soul (and an opportunity for everlasting life) to nonhumans, is not intentionally cutting these lives (the only ones they will ever know) short morally objectionable? At the very least, isn't commemorating the kill troublesome on its own? Father Classen:
Certainly, it is not fun to watch the spark of life dwindle away from a creature's eye, knowing that one is directly responsible for its death. But at the same time there exists a satisfaction, and yes, a sense of honor in being an active, disciplined, gracious, responsible and respectful participant in the cycle of life.
I believe that Father Classen does enjoy hunting and fishing and experiences a high when successful. At its core, it is indeed fun, and that makes the rest of his quote mere background noise.

I had looked at several models of tables before selecting this model. For the price, brand and durability, this product seemed to offer me the most. The product is well made with quality stiching, welding, and craftmanship. I was surprised at just how heavily made the appliance was when it arrived. The assembly was rather easy and fast with clear instructions and organized part labels and bags. Some reviews pointed out how this product was comfortable to use on your ankles when hanging upside down. I think a key to the comfort is relaxing your ankles when inverted and trusting the machine to do what it was designed to do. The ankle pads are quite comfortable, if you remember to relax your ankles and point your toes to the sky when hanging upside down. My chiropractor had told me that the machine would serve well to release the locking discs that I have in my lower back. Since using the machine, the pain in my back and the irritation of the nerves, which would become numb or pinched from the locking discs, has virtually gone away for me. I notice I even sleep better. Naturally you would consult your doctor before using such a product to assure it is meant for you as well. The main red flag for 2 stars on safety for this product was the box used for shipping. The box was marked as a heavy item for lifting, but one still has to move the box to the location appropriate for assembly. The highly cumbersome, 90 some pound box had no handles built into it and the slippery, heavy cardboard was a challenge considering I live alone. Perhaps I could have opened the box at the delivery point and carried in the pieces a few at a time. If the delivery would have happened on a rainy day, I would have had a large, heavy mess to deal with...There were a few holes in the cardboard from the box being dragged, dropped or thrown during transit.... luckily no parts were lost. Overall, the product is awesome, but keep in mind the size of the unit is large to do the job it needs to do. A heavy and sturdy appliance mean quality, just plan for the box when it arrives. A solid and great buy for the average or bigger guy.... I wouldnt give mine up for anything... :)
I read all the other reviews and was a little skeptical about the machine. I have Lumbar arthritis and general pain in my lower back and legs. I find the table must be set taller than you actually are and it won't return to the upright position without you actually pulling it upright. Having said that, I thought it was worth a try, The first couple of times you use it, you will be in pain. Don't try to go all the way over and don't use your whole weight. Work up to it and remember to come back to the upright position slowly. I can now go fully inverted, don't feel light headed, and the back pain is better. I need to make time for at least 20 minutes 2 times a day upside down. I would recommend it if you have some kind of disc damage. I'm 59 and didn't ever meet anything too heavy to lift. Now, I'm paying for it. The table seems to be helping. Only had it about 3 weeks, but, so far, it's a keeper. Don't expect immediate relief and be prepared for "new" pain when you first start. Hope it helps you too.
I tried my table a couple of days after I got it. It was strange to be upside down, but I felt secure whith the ankle supports. I've kept it open because it looks like I would hurt my back trying to open and close it every time. I did feel really good relief on all parts starting on my knees, hips, lower back, even neck. I had lower back pain for a long time. The first day I used it, the pain was gone. Sure I felt a little sore because it obviously causes a stretching of joints and muscles. But after that was gone I felt no pain. My right hip was also giving me trouble. The chiropractor would have problems setting it in place. Some times I couldn't even get up from sitting without it hurting so bad that I couldn't walk. This pain is gone since I've used it. It's worth the investment. I don't feel like going to the chiropractor so the table has paid for itself. I do kettlebells workouts, some times with 50 lb weights, and that would tighten up the muscles on my back. (I'm only 115 lb). I can jump right on after a work out and stretch like I could never do with any normal stretching routine. Definitely would recommend it.
I have had back problems for 15 years. I hurt my back when I was in the Army, they refused to do anything for it at all when I was in, and after I got out the Veterans Affairs only wanted to do surgery. I was diagnosed with everything from a pulled muscle to degenerative disc disease. I went to a physical therapist for 6 weeks with no improvements. On the 6th week I asked her to try traction. After 10 minutes of traction I was 100% pain free. This lasted for about a week and then everything went back to the way it was before the traction. 2 years later I went to a chiropractor, spent 4 months with bi-weekly visits, and only had minor reduction in pain and minor mobility gain, but still an improvement. I then began looking into inversion therapy. I was hesitant to buy a table due to the cost and it might not be a viable solution to my problem, but eventually I broke down when I found this table at a great price here. I recieved this table on April 9, 2013. I have been using it daily for over two weeks now, and I can honestly say that I have regained FULL mobility and am 100% pain free. From the first time I laid back on this table I could feel the pain in my lower back, hips and legs slowly ebb away. Next week I will start going to the gym to rebuild the strength I have lost over the years, and I will continue to use my inversion table to relieve the pressure in my lower back, hips and legs as needed. Not everyone may have the same results as I did with inversion therapy, but for me, this is the best investment I have ever made, and I would recommend it to anyone that does have any heart or blood pressure related issues, or and serious eye related issues, if they have lower back pain of any kind.
Have now owned this for over a year and love it. Nothing helps with low back pain more than getting in this thing and letting the back release all the way up through all the spinal column. My chiropractor uses one and advised never to use it at more than a 45 degree angle and to simply get on the table and then gently rock. He said hanging upside down is not recommended. Takes a little getting used to, but my husband and I both love it.
Nice sturdy machine, not too hard to put together. Inversion is nice and smooth, handles make it easy to go down gradually and come up easily. Like the safety strap that keeps you from going further than you want. My only complaint is the lack of instructions on actual use. It just says you should be moving not just hanging there, but does not give any clear suggestions. The ankle holder is not well explained either, but thankfully is self explanatory. I had to look up a YouTube video to see what kinds of movement to be doing. Otherwise so far I am using it about 4 times a week, really stretches my hip flexors nice and makes my low back feel better (have a degenerated L5-S1).
Great product, almost no assembly required, very sturdy, works great. Would recommend to anyone looking for inversion table.
I put this thing together in about 30-45 minutes. It's really well built and very sturdy. It folds up and stores away nicely as well. It is pretty heavy (about 80-90 lbs) and a little awkward to move, but overall, the construction and sturdiness of this thing is top notch. After I got it together I started playing around with it to find the balance point for my height and weight and found that it worked best if I set it an inch taller than what I actually am. I can lay back on the table and slowly raise my arms to invert at a controlled pace without feeling like I'm on an amusement park ride. Once I got used to it I set it up ti tilt back at about a 45 degree angle and the next morning I woke up feeling better than I have in months. If you back is hurting, this will help relieve a lot of pain, although it isn't immediate relief. I find if I use it at night, I wake up with less back pain than I used to. I had a stabbing pain in my back between my shoulders that was there for months and after a few weeks of use that pain is almost non existent. I have recently tried going fully inverted and it has helped relieve a lot of tension in my lower back as well. The ankle holders are well padded, but they still take a little getting used to. The key is to relax and just let it hold you like it is designed to do. You can wiggle your feet to get the front ankle cuffs to a more comfortable angle, but I definitely recommend wearing socks or pants until you get used to the feeling. I was skeptical of buying this table because of the lower price compared to other tables, but after tons of research decided that this was the one and it has been the best *** dollars I have ever spent.
This is a product I have been wanting for a few years. The ease of putting it together is great, but to be honest, the instructions that come with it are vague and almost useless. No instructions came on how to use the table properly... but if you know what the table is designed for or have ever used one it is very simple. Overall, the ease of locking the ankle holder, the strap designed to restrict the incline, the solid design, and overall comfort is very good.

The Indianapolis Colts today signed free agent defensive end Lawrence Guy and signed tackle Xavier Nixon from the Washington Redskins practice squad. The Colts will have to make two additional moves to reach the 53-man roster limit.
Guy, 6-4, 318 pounds, rejoins the Colts after being waived by the team following the preseason finale against Cincinnati. He spent the 2012 season with Indianapolis after being signed from the Green Bay practice squad on September 3, 2012. Guy totaled 21 tackles (15 solo) and 1.0 sack in nine games played. He was originally selected by the Packers in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft, but spent his rookie season on the Injured Reserve list.
Nixon, 6-6, 314 pounds, was originally signed by Washington as an undrafted free agent on May 2, 2013. He was waived by the Redskins on August 31, 2013 before being signed to the team's practice squad the following day. Nixon appeared in 46 games (33 starts) on the University of Florida offensive line. As a senior in 2012, he earned All-SEC honors after playing 11 games with eight consecutive starts at left tackle. In 2009, Nixon was part of a Florida offense that ranked No. 3 in the nation in yards per carry (5.59), yards per play (6.97) and total yards (6,410), earning him freshman All-America recognition from CollegeFootballNews.com and a selection to the SEC All-Freshman Team.

Location based services are one of the most attractive and effective field. When talking about location based services(LBS) the first two parameters on which our application depend are latitude and longitude. In location based services the main aim is to get the location of the user and then use it for different applications. This code snippet will help in achieving this basic task of getting lat/long using a external GPS(Global Positioning Device) device. The GPS will be connected to your Mobile through Bluetooth.
Code Snippet
import socket
address, services = socket.bt_discover() # search for the GPS device
print "Discovered: %s, %s" % (address, services) #will print the name of the device
target = (address, services.values()[0]) #selecting
conn = socket.socket(socket.AF_BT, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
to_gps = conn.makefile("r", 0)
while True:
msg = to_gps.readline()
if msg.startswith("$GPGGA"): #search for $GGPGA
gps_data = msg.split(",") #detects the comma
lat = gps_data[2] #get the latitude
lon = gps_data[4] #get the longitude
print "You are now at latitude %s and longitude %s" % (lat, lon)
The code above will get you the exact position in form of latitude and longitude. But the important thing is that through the external GPS device we will get the data which follos a standard defined by the National Marine Electronics Association(NMEA). The data are called NMEA sentences and are something like shown below:
The GPS sends something like shown above and it send one message per line. The single line contains many fields separated by a comma(,). The above line is GGPGA line and contains 15 fields the one from 3rd to 6th is of our important as it contains latitude and longitude information so using the code we read only that and get the location information. Except the GGPGA line there are many other lines which are described in the NMEA sentences and they provide lots and lots of good information.

In my personal and professional opinion, SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare are absolutely essential for any SQL database administrator, developer, or architect, regardless of their level of experience. In a world dominated by ERP solutions and 3rd party SQL-based applications, it's frequently difficult to figure out what's happening behind the scenes. Red Gate tools lift the veil of mystery, enabling IT professionals to determine exactly how data and structure has changed.
When I upgrade our ERP this summer, I'm not willing to bet my career and reputation that data was converted correctly. But I'm also not eager to spend countless days and weeks verifying this manually. SQL Compare and Data Compare will transform days into minutes, weeks into hours. And I'll have confidence that my business data is both accurate, and in the right place. Add in the bonus of comparing and synchronizing Development, Test, and Live environments, and you've got a recipe for success for years to come.Brian Pond, IT Manager, Border Construction
With Data Compare I am 100% confident that work I do on my SQL Server database while on the move, can be cross checked and synchronised with my server in the office with just a few clicks giving me an extra 3 hours productivity a day and no fears of a change being missed.Robin Dewson, Technical Lead, Nomura International
We use SQL Data Compare daily and it has become an indispensible part of delivering our service to our customers. It has also streamlined our daily update process and cut back literally a good solid hour per day.
We are a subscription based service and report on prices realized for collectible/rare comic books from around the world. Each day we categorize anything from 500 to several thousand sales and need to update our remote SQL server with this information. This is where SQL Data Compare comes in. We keep track throughout the day of new sales and changes to previous sales. When we update using SQL Data Compare, we run two important comparison projects. The first has a custom where clause that looks for information in a local SQL table to tell SQL Data Compare which existing sales data has been changed or deleted. In this way it takes seconds to compare and update even up to several hundred changes.
We then run a subsequent comparison project, again with a custom where clause, that looks only for additions within the past 48 hours. Here too the process of comparing and updating is swift.
SQL Data Compare makes our job easier, at the same time delivering updates to our customers in a seamless way without having to stop the SQL Server or undergo nasty and complex update routines.
I couldn't imagine running GPAnalysis without SQL Data Compare, and indeed, any service/product that requires database comparison and synchronization.George Pantela, GPAnalysis.com
Just wanted to take a quick minute to let you know how much myself and my developers at GovPartner appreciate your SQL Server Tools. At GovPartner we build web-based software for cities to manage their Building, Engineering, Planning, and Code Enforcement projects. We have clients all over the US and just recently went live with our software over in the middle east for the city of Abu Dhabi. Through our various versions for client and hosted application deployments we could not have done it without your tools, specifically the SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare products.
We can create SQL deployment scripts extremely fast and have them ready for a release within minutes of the build being generated. We use Data Compare to sync any system configuration changes, and then we are pretty much ready to go. Your software is in a word 'awesome'. Keep up the great work!Jon Howes, CTO, GovPartner
I've been really missing a neat data comparison tool - SQL Data Compare Pro seems to be the answer to my prayers. I receive backups from customers and need to compare data with predefined datasets. My normal way of comparing involves these steps:
- I restore the customer backup
- I compare specific tables and views by using UNION ALL operation (it's a very tedious and time consuming process!)
The first thing I tried with SQL Data Compare Pro 6 was to grab my latest customer backup and compare directly against it. The result was impressive, and the GUI is really easy to use. This operation normally takes me hours (restore backup, then there's lack of diskspace and so on), but with SQL Data Compare, it took me no more than minutes.Jan Hansen, Database Architect, Marel Food Systems
The compare Live DB to SQL Server Backup is GREAT! I used to routinely restore my backup files to a temporary DB to do this, and this will save tons of time.Justin Webster, Software Developer/Technical Lead
I love the ability to compare against a backup file. I am unable to do data comparisons on production, due to the impact that would have, and the constantly shifting data, so having to copy a backup file to a different server and then restore it is a pain. Being able to compare to backup files is even better! Talk about time savings!Benjamin Lam, Alpha tester of SQL Data Compare 6
We regularly deal with large sets of data in the hundreds of gigabytes. I have come to rely heavily on SQL Compare, SQL Data Compare, and SQL Backup as my three most commonly used software tools outside of the standard SQL Server Management Studio. Just this morning, I was realizing how few bugs there are in the Red-Gate products, how reliable they are in doing the job and as it relates to the SQL Compare products and just how fast they are. My productivity goes up every time I use one of your products to help me solve a problem. Other things that I like about the products are how easy it makes my job and how good I look when I can accomplish a task as quickly as I can with the Red Gate tools.
I find myself a natural cynic when it comes to software written by others. With Red Gate, I can't think of any challenges that the tools in their current form or a recently arrived upgrade hasn't resolved. Thank you for producing a product that works, is reasonably priced, and a support team that shows their care of the customer in both their words, actions, and fast response.Mike Gladden, Enterprise Data Architect, iLumen
Love your products, service, and support. I am only a two-man shop, but feel like I get a good deal for my hard-earned money when I deal with you guys. If I were across the pond, I'd buy you a pint of Guinness. Cheers from Baton Rouge, Louisiana (USA)Calvin Fabre, High Power Consulting, Inc.
One of the key draws for Red Gate tools has always been the price point and the rapid return on investment. The SQL Bundle has been a standard for my toolbox since 2000, across 4 jobs.Peter Daniels, Database Administrator, InComm
SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare are the best purchases we've made in the .NET/SQL environment. They've saved us hours of development time and the fast, easy-to-use database comparison gives us maximum confidence that our migration scripts are correct. We rely on these products for every deployment.Paul Tebbutt, Technical Lead, Universal Music Group
All the Red Gate products I used are a delight - SQL Bundle and ANTS Profiler. Simple to use, powerful, fast, awesome. I told some of our DBAs that they MUST use your products. If you are a DBA and reading this testimonial, and if you don't use Red Gate's software, trust me! You should. I have never written a testimonial before, but I felt compelled to do so in this case. I cannot stress strongly enough how wonderful this company's tools are. THANK YOU!Doron Grinstein, Technical Director, Information Technology, Walt Disney Studios
...SQL Data Compare has given us a first look test approach to ensure we don't get any surprises when upgrading databases. Our warehouses contain around 8 TB of SQL data so they're not trivial. Like I said, great product, great value.Mark Hickin, Touch Clarity Limited
It's user friendly. Everything you need for comparison is right there on one screen. There is no need to move back and forth between menus and different screens.Jim Orzel, Supervisor of Data Operations, Divestco
It's very intuitive. The interface is clean and it's obvious what everything is there for. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed. I usually hand-code SQL queries when moving databases between environments and doing synchronization and replication checking. With SQL Data Compare, I can save up to several hours for each database. SQL Data Compare v3 is simple, quick and it saves time. Simply put, it does what it sets out to do.Jasper Smith, SQL Server MVP
Just wanted to thank you for a great product. I have a bundle with SQL Compare 5 and its partner Data Compare. I have used SQL Compare a couple of times lately when moving our new development stuff to live server to save time. Works beautifully.
Then yesterday we had to move our production server to another and bigger server. By using SQL Compare and Data Compare, we managed to move our 5 GB database to our new server with approximately 30 seconds of downtime... We just used SQL Compare to sync up the schemas, and then used SQL Data Compare when the old system was live. Then we took the system offline, ran another sync with only the changed data, and put the new system online. Extremely easy.Morten Petteroe, CEO, Towah Entertainment Ltd
I have developed a small time-tracking system for my company. The development version sits on my laptop and the production version runs SQL Server 2005 on our network. Since the database is still quite tiny, I like to keep both versions in close synchronization.
After returning from PASS there was a difference of nearly 50,000 records.
Which was faster? Backing up and restoring, or running Red Gate Data Compare? Of course there was no contest; Data Compare had the systems synchronized before I would have finished typing out the T-SQL backup command.Michael Garstin, SQL Server Support Technical Lead, VMC Canada

Swedish translation done
I just wanted to post a quick heads up that I've finished the swedish translation as I know there are some of you that's looking for it.
The codex page is here: http://codex.buddypress.org/translations/swedish-svenska-sv_se/
I'm sure there are something I've missed and I'm about to go through it and streamline it during the week (make sure I use the same wording everywhere etc).

I ordered it for my daughter for Christmas last year. It arrived on time. The problem was since it was refurbished, it only had a limited warranty. I used most of that warranty time up with the present being hidden in my closet and then wrapped under the tree. When it was finally opened and used, the handle did not work right and constantly kept coming apart. I called to get it replaced, but since the warranty was out, Overstock gave me the number for business to call ......BIG Pain....They told me to box it and return it to them. I did. After 4 months, I never heard anything. Finally called the business again but they said they never received it. By this time, I had misplaced the post office slip. Needless to say, I never got my money back and I don't even have the hot iron. This was the biggest waste. Lost almost dollars, and no one really seemed to care. I will NEVER buy a refurbished item from Overstock again. Everything else I have purchased as been great. I was hoping Overstock might be a little more sympathetic, since I have purchased numerous items and spent mega dollars with them. It didn't happen...lol
I had tried various CHI products before and always have had good opinions about them. This iron is definitely a great product. I have very thick and wavy hair and with this iron it takes me 30 min maximum to straighten my hair after using the hairdryer. I love the price too because I would never spend over *** on a hair styling product since I don't use it every day. So overall, great product at a great price. My hair feels silky after I iron it with this CHI. I recommend.
I purchased the refurbished CHI and it looks and works like a brand new model. I have only had it a few weeks so will update at a later date if any problems arise. So far, I am very happy with the product and especially happy with the price.
I've been using the refurbished unit for a while and really like it, especially because i know just how much I saved. I've used CHI for years and can't tell the difference between the new and my refurbished. would recommend to anyone.
Good buy. Get's my thick and wavy hair strait without causing undue damage. Great product.
At this point haven't used enough to know, also have the extended protection, so I'm sure I'm covered no matter what.
I have typically been a skeptic on purchasing refurbished items but I purchased this because of the need for it and at the time I didn't have the money to purchase one brand new and since receiving it I have used it personally and in a salon setting and it is great! By looking at it you would never guess that it's a refurbished Chi. It looks and works like any other brand new Chi I've purchased in the past. Shipping was quick and overall I would recommend this item to anyone.
This was my first time buying a refurbished chi. I read a few reviews where people had been unhappy with the product, but overall it seemed good. It's also nice that the price was half of a new chi! This product is NOT a bargain, as mine stopped working after 4 months. I've had chis in the past last for 2+ years. If you are will to take a gamble on this flat iron, make sure you buy the warranty!
The straightener came just as described and works great. Heats up super fast and stays hot the whole time.
I am a huge fan of the regular CHI flat iron. I have very curly hair and CHI is one of the few flatirons that gets hot enough to simulate the blowout/straightener experience. Unfortunately, this one was a huge dud and the return policy is not user friendly for a personal care product. Go with the original and spend the dollars.

A new internal report shows some surprising security lapses by screeners at Newark Liberty International Airport.
According to a report obtained by the Newark Star-Ledger, screeners are properly executing standard pat-downs of passengers only 17 percent of the time.
The report also stated that proper action was taken on prohibited items in only 25 percent of all cases.
The report -- titled "Pace Airport Evaluation" and dated June 8 -- also found that screener never informed passengers of their right to opt out of a full body scan in favor of a pat-down.
Not all of the findings in the report were negative. The report also found that in numerous categories, including removing prohibited items found during physical searches and exhibiting good listening skills, screeners performed their duties properly 100 percent of the time.
The Pace report was compiled by undercover teams of Transportation Security Administration employees from other airports who witnessed the Newark Liberty Airport screeners at work over period of several months.

Student Information
Why should I consider an Internship?
There are many important reasons to consider an internship, regardless of academic credit or pay. Here are just a few:
- Hands-on learning about a career field
- Find out if this is the right career field for you
- Work alongside a professional in your chosen career and build networking opportunities
- Gain new skills, gain confidence in your abilities, add to your knowledge base
- Add a valuable addition to your résumé and/or enhance your application to graduate school
- Open the door to a future job offer or next steps to take on your career path
How do I find an Internship?
- Plan ahead. Depending on the opportunity, internships can be competitive and take time to find. Do your research 2-6 months in advance. While you may not have the internship set up that far in advance, at least you will have thought through your options.
- Think about what you would like to do. This is your opportunity to dream big! Consider the types of occupations or companies you are curious learning more about. If you are interested in academic credit for your internship, make sure it will fit with your major.
- Utilize your resources and connections. This can include family, friends, members from your church, faculty advisors from school, and of course, CBU Career Services. CBU Career Connect will have some postings for internship opportunities and our office can help you narrow down your search for local internships. The internet is also a useful source for internship opportunities for students who are savvy internet browsers. Not all internship opportunities are listed on an online job board or a company/organization's' website – so don't limit yourself!
Do I need a résumé? How do I create one?
In a word, yes. Internships, like jobs, are competitive. All professional positions for college graduates require a résumé, and because an internship is considered "training" for future employment (not necessarily for that company, but for the workforce in general) you can assume a résumé is part of the process. Develop your résumé on OptimalResume! Go to cbu.optimalresume.com (register using your CBU email address) to look at sample résumés, formatting options, and general advice and begin to build your résumé. Come by the Resume Review Lab during the times noted (left side bar) for help and feedback!
How many hours (per week) should I expect to commit to my Internship site?
The time you commit for your internship is variable, depending on your schedule and the needs of the employer. Most internship sites expect a student to commit between 8-20 hours per week. For the experience to be worthwhile to the employer and a viable hands-on learning experience for you, the ideal commitment averages 8-15 hours per week for approximately 10-14 weeks. Academic disciplines require a minimum of 40 hours for each unit of academic credit received. Bottom line for internships, whatever you and your employer agree upon regarding a weekly schedule and hourly commitment, the burden is on you to fulfill that commitment. Otherwise, you jeopardize your own experience, your grade (if you are enrolled for credit), a positive recommendation, and the potential for future experiences for other CBU students.
Can I get academic credit for my Internship?
Most undergraduate majors will allow students to obtain academic credit for their internship and some majors require an internship as part of the program. These are administered by a faculty member in a given major as an upper division course. A syllabus provided by the faculty member outlines additional requirements (above and beyond your on-site hours) in order to receive a grade. Generally, a student must have junior or senior status, and most students receive 1-3 units of upper division elective credit per semester (up to 6 units). It is important to note, an internship experience must satisfy CBU's Definition and Criteria for Academic Credit Internships in order to be considered.
Can I get paid for an Internship?
Some internships are paid, many are not. This depends on the type of employer and their ability to pay student interns. Some for-profit national firms have established internship programs that routinely pay students, but this is not always the norm. Non-profit organizations and government organizations are often unable to pay interns because of budget constraints, but these can often be great opportunities because students are often given greater responsibility.
NOTE: Many unpaid internship employers will also require a student to be enrolled in an internship course for academic credit in order to provide this opportunity. California law states that "Students working as interns or trainees to fulfill licensing requirements, or to qualify for a skilled vocation or profession, are not employees under the (Department of Labor Standards Enforcement) guidelines (and thus exempt from wage and hour laws) if the training is academically oriented and designed primarily for the benefit of the student."
Excerpt from opinion letter: 1998.11.12 CA Division of Labor Standards Enforcement
International Students
US Immigration laws require that paid, off-campus internships for international students must meet the following criteria:
- Fits with academic major and/or required course of study (faculty approval of internship is required)
- MUST be enrolled for academic credit
- Part-time hours only (up to 20 hours per week)
- MUST be approved for CPT (Curricular Practical Training) through the International Student Services office. Source: U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement
