Make sure you make allowances for some luxuries.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
Some people never take control of their finances because they're afraid that doing so would require them to give up everything they enjoy. I don't believe that's true. Getting out of debt requires hard work and sacrifice, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun along the way.
Online gambling's legal status is murky.
What's life like for professional poker players, particularly those who earn their living online? An anonymous pro sheds some light on the occupation in a guest post at Budgets are Sexy.
It's a fascinating read, and enough to convince us we'd rather work at Wal-Mart than embark on multi-table tournament play. Too much stress. Too many possibilities to go broke going for broke.
Oh, and did we mention that while the legal status of online poker appears to be somewhat murky, the people who really count -- those at the U.S. Justice Department -- insist it's a crime?
Blogger has some strategies to avoid splurges.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
I'm often tempted to spend money that I shouldn't.
I'm good at restraining my impulsive nature. I don't simply go into stores and then emerge later with a hefty bag, a credit card bill, and a dazed look on my face. Still, in certain places, I am strongly tempted to spend. I look around and see tons of items that I'd like to have.
Here are seven places that really fuel my spending desires.
Blogger retired in his early 30s.
Jacob at Early Retirement Extreme is about to cut his already spartan monthly living expenses in half. How? He and his wife are moving into an RV.
This blog is called Early Retirement Extreme for a reason. Jacob, a guy in his early 30s, spent five years saving and investing 70% of his income on his way to a goal of quitting the rat race, and now he's going to save even more.
First steps: Get your FICO score and a free credit report.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller:
Improving your FICO credit score has never been more important than it is now. Your credit score affects whether you are approved for a loan, the interest rate your pay, and even the cost of insurance.
Credit card companies now use credit scores and credit history to determine not only the interest rate that will apply to the account, but other terms such as the length of no-interest balance transfers. And your credit score can even impact whether you get a job.
In short, your credit score has a big impact on your finances. The good news is that you can begin to improve your credit score today with a few simple steps.
Many factors can affect the value.

I first read about selling hair in "Les Misérables," when Fantine sold her head of gold to clothe her daughter, Cosette. The hair trade just seems like such an archaic idea, but, actually, high-quality hairpieces are still made from real human hair and there is a huge market for sourcing natural hair.
Here are some tips and information on how to sell your tresses for cash.

It's always possible to get an influenza vaccination unless the vaccine is in short supply, but it's another matter to find a free flu shot. If you're elderly or in another at-risk group, you stand the best chance of getting a free shot. If you're healthy and can afford spending $20, I recommend you leave the freebies for those less fortunate and pay for your shot.
Where can you find a free flu shot?
Retirement plan not a good choice for most people.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
Let's get right to the point: Saving for retirement in a Roth 401(k) likely will leave you with less money in retirement than if you had invested in a traditional 401(k).
There are some exceptions to this rule. For example, a Roth 401(k) may be the right choice if you make more than $1 million a year or if you make so little that you pay no income tax or very little income tax. But for the majority of us, the Roth 401(k) is better left alone. Here's why.

The attempt by CSX Transportation and the Port of Baltimore to gain double-stack container service to and from the port took a major hit Thursday after the state of Maryland withdrew funding for a planned intermodal terminal.

Press Releases
CSX partners with Tribus Point for successful launch of CSX's Enterprise Wide Claims Management Solution
22 Aug 2014
The U.S. rail regulatory agency is asking the seven major U.S. and Canadian railroads, along with short lines, to explain how they will handle the expected surge of intermodal traffic, noting the situation has been "challenging."
12 Aug 2014
Despite the loss of a refrigerated rail pioneer, other operators say they are still growing and that they're better shielded from poor rail performance than Cold Train was.
01 Aug 2014
The first half of 2014 saw the start of several stories that JOC.com will most likely be covering for the next year and perhaps beyond.
16 Jul 2014
CSX Transportation said service, encompassing both intermodal and carload services, has normalized after a surge of freight but admitted it is working to restore service to a "level customers have come to expect" by adding locomotives and train crews and building track capacity.
09 Jul 2014
Less than five miles from the U.S. Capitol, southwest Washington, D.C., residents are waging a fierce fight against CSX Transportation's plans to rebuild and expand a tunnel to allow the double stacking of containers.

Hurricane Arthur appears to have had little impact on the U.S.
03 Jul 2014
U.S. surface transportation providers, ranging from railroads to trucking companies, are preparing for the approaching Hurricane Arthur.
29 May 2014
U.S. intermodal service doesn't appear to have improved significantly since severe winter weather and rising traffic crippled most rail networks and disrupted shipper supply chains in the first four months of the year.
12 May 2014
Bill Clement, CSX Transportation vice president, on misconceptions about intermodal's ability to reach smaller and mid-tier markets, the ease of highway-to-rail cargo conversion and CSX expansions this year.
02 May 2014
CHICAGO — Chicago is living up to its reputation as the nation's transportation bottleneck.
16 Apr 2014
CSX Transportation said rail service will "gradually" improve and that it was reasonable to expect operations to return to normal by the end of June, following a harsh winter that snarled operations and created a backlog of freight.

Annual New England Invitational Sled Hockey...
$470 raised
so far
This Annual Tournament brings 16 physically challenged teams from across the United States and Canada to compete for Amelia's Cup
In 2002, there was a buzz about sled hockey as the US Paralympic team won GOLD at the Winter Paralympics in Salt Lake City, UT. Mr. Albert Ferst wanted to know what the buzz was about and went to the Chowder Cup Tournament held in Marlborough, MA.
Mr. Ferst met the athletes from the US and Canadian Paralympic teams and fell in love with the sport. So much so, he wanted to start a sled hockey program at the rink in Westfield, MA. The Amelia Park Foundation bought 12 sleds and in October 2002, a sled hockey clinic was put on for the staff and patients of Shriners Hospital for Children.
Thus, the Springfield Sliders Junior Sled Hockey Team became the 2nd Junior Sled Hockey Team in New England. Over the next couple of months, Amelia Park donated ice time to several teams to play games.
It was Mr. Ferst's dream to make Westfield, MA and Amelia Park Ice Arena the Sled Hockey Capital of the US.
The New England Invitational Sled Hockey Tournament was moved to Amelia Park Ice Arena in 2003 where all the ice time was donated, referees donated their time & a BBQ was held during the weekend for all of the athletes & their famililes.
In 2007, the Amelia's Cup Championship Trophy was unveiled.
Mr. Ferst passed away in Dec. 2011, but his dream of making Amelia Park Ice Arena the Sled Hockey Capital is still very much alive and the staff and their volunteers are determined to make this event bigger and better every year.
Your donation will not only assist us with covering ice time, but providing a BBQ, a cookout & and a sundae social for athletes, families and fans to enjoy. This event is an inspiring family friendly event that is FREE for all to enjoy. PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR APRIL 26-28, 2013.

Great Lake House
Review submitted: April 28, 2013 Date of arrival: April 12, 2013
My brothers and I stayed here for a three day weekend and we had a fantastic time. It's very clean and there is plenty of room as several other family members came up from Houston and space wasn't an issue as the living room and bed rooms were much larger than I anticipated. The deck is great, and we made use of the two kayaks, portable outside fireplace, fishing dock and huge gas grill. Stores are only a few miles away for anything you may have forgotten to bring with you. George is very easy to work with and a pleasure to rent from.

Great Fishing!
Review submitted: December 27, 2012 Date of arrival: November 15, 2012
My family stayed here for almost a month and had a blast, the yard was big enough for my little girl to play in, the neighbors were very nice and the neighborhood was pretty quiet. Being able to relax on the dock and fish was awesome, we caught some pretty good size bass and catfish. George was a great guy to rent from and would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks George!

Need to drop one of the following:
Carlos Zambrano
Francisco Liriano
James McDonald
Homer Bailey
I think I have it narrowed down to Zambrano or McDonald. Both guys are prone to the walk and inflated WHIP but I am intrigued to see what the move to Miami will do for Zambrano. I am already keeping; Lester, Wainwright, Bumgarner, Pineda, Marcum, and Kennedy.
Thank you for your thoughts.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Deadbeat parents who refuse to pay child support could have a difficult time collecting their winnings at casinos and at race tracks. A new proposal would give social service agencies more ammunition to help families.
Take home cash winnings inside places like the Par-A-Dice Casino and race tracks may not ever reach the hands of lucky contenders if they're delinquent or refuse to pay child support under a bill by Peoria area State Senator Darin LaHood.
"Deadbeat parents that don't pay child support it effects all taxpayers in the state of Illinois. Because many times those children that don't get their child support they end up on public assistance sometimes or in need of further resources in our state system," said Peoria area State Senator Darin LaHood
LaHood said deadbeat parents in Illinois owe more than $3 billion in child support payments. His bill calls for creation of a website registry and gamblers who win $1200 or more at casinos would have to fill out a tax form with a social security number that would be checked against the registry before they could collect winnings. The Illinois Department of Health and family services has similar enforcements where they intercept tax returns for parents who are delinquent on child support payments.
"We don't want to take their gambling winnings but when they are able but unwilling to pay child support, debtors don't pay what their children are due then these type of enforcement measures are used," said Barbara McDermott of the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services.
Unlike a previous bill that was defeated two years ago LaHood said Senate Bill 1820 gained support from the gaming industry after concerns about enforcement were addressed. It was unanimously approved out of committee recently and LaHood expects the full Senate to vote on the proposal after Easter and the House to follow. If approved in both chambers he says it could be in place by mid summer.

CATEGORIES Horror, Thrillers, Noir, Mystery & Suspense, Remakes and Sequels, CinematicalThe first Brad Anderson film I saw was Session 9. (I also spent $27 on the out-of-print DVD, which I've watched at least three times in the last year. It's a great movie.) And then I saw his dark and twisted love letter to Alfred Hitchcock: The Machinist. Wow. Aside from Christian Bale's staggering performance, it's just a rock-solid, old-fashioned mind-bender of a noir thriller. Good stuff. Most recently I saw the director's train-bound and icy chiller Transsiberian at Sundance, which (shocking!) I also enjoyed quite a bit.
Which leads us to a logical question. What can Brad Anderson fans expect next? According to Bloody-Disgusting, the writer / director is not straying far from the genre fare any time soon. First on the filmmaker's plate looks to be All Lost Souls, which is a "serial killer movie," and then perhaps Vanishing, which Anderson describes as "a smart post-apocalyptic horror film." Sounds good so far.
But even further down the road, Anderson could be looking at a remake of the 1943 occult flick The Seventh Victim -- and a Cronenbergian thriller called Concrete Island, which just might reunite the director with two of his Machinist collaborators: screenwriter Scott Kosar and low-key superstar Christian Bale. And to all those projects, I say this: Cool. Get to work, Brad!
[ Thanks to Bloody-Dee for the cool info. ]

The play of this defencemen has seemed to earn him a regular spot on this D corps. I know it's not really saying a whole lot since it is the Oilers but his play keeps improving game after game and we might be looking at a top pairing D-man? He has poise with the puck and his panic threshold is way above everyone in the lineup. Imagine the education that's coming up at the Olympics playing potentially with Big Z.
At age 21, this young man is just beginning to fill out too. At 6'4" & 188 lbs now, I can see him filling out to 225lbs.+ in two years. He's a keeper IMHO; and D-men, as we all know, take a tad longer to develop. With his lack of NHL experience, I think he's showing quite well.
How do you all think he's handling everything so far? I'm excited to see where this journey will take him and the Oilers.

Week 3 has just about come to a close and I though I'd evaluate all the teams based on their records and determine if their record portrays what their season is going to be, or if we shouldn't expect similar results for the rest of the year. Sort of like a contender or pretender article, but I'm focusing on the lower teams as well. Why do homework when I can talk football? Thus, we begin.
NFC East:
1. Redskins 2-0: I really don't feel that the Skins will win the division, but they won't be an easy win. I predict they slip out and end around the .500 mark come January.
2. Giants 2-1: The Giants team is full of injuries, and even though they stomped us yesterday, I don't think they have the depth to make a run.
3. Cowboys 1-1: I think Tony Romo has a lot to prove this year, and I think he leads the Cowboys to a playoff season, what they do there, I doubt is much.
4. Our Eagles 1-2: It's been a rough start but I'm keeping the faith. This team will come together towards the end of the October and really end the season strong. I predict we win the division and make a playoff run. Of course this all hinders on the health of #7.
NFC North:
1. Lions 3-0: I really like the Lions this year, I think it will be tough to beat the Packers in that division but I think they will clinch a wildcard spot. They cold be dangerous if Stafford stays healthy. Good for that front office for compiling a great team through the draft.
2. Packers 3-0: The defending champs look like the Dream Team to me, and i almost feel that they aren't being recognized. Maybe I'm just watching TV at the wrong times, but I think they're flying under the radar a bit. They could easily be back in the Super Bowl.
3. Bears 1-2: That offensive line is horrendous, no way they repeat what happened last year.
4. Vikings 0-3: McNabb continues to make the Eagles look smart. Too bad for Adrian Peterson that he is stuck on a bad team. I see the Vikings in the cellar of that division for a few years.
NFC South:
1. Buccaneers 2-1: I really don't see them competing for anything. Last year they had such an easy schedule to pad their record, I can't see them being at the top come Week 9.
2. Saints 2-1: The Saints only loss was to a great Packers team in a shootout. They will win this division and be a threat to go far in the playoffs, barring a miraculous run by Marshawn Lynch.
3. Panthers 1-2: The Cam Newton Show will continue all season but the Panthers are still not much of a team. They have no running game, and Newton is still a rookie. They finish 4th.
4. Falcons 1-2: This team really should be 0-3, and they just don't seem to be that 13-3 team they were last year. Heck, I didn't think they were that 13-3 team last year. I don't see them for real as a team that comes away with a successful season.
NFC West: (This is still a division??)
1. 49ers 2-1: Honestly this division is up for grabs but I don't think Alex Smith leads this team to the playoffs.
2. Seahawks 1-2: Again, Tarvaris Jackson is not a QB I would trust to throw me the remote, and there is no way he leads this team to the playoffs.
3. Cardinals 1-2: Kevin Kolb will make the Eagles look silly this year by leading the Cardinals to a 10-6 season and the playoffs. I just think this team has the most potential.
4. Rams 0-3: With all the injuries this team has it isn't looking too good, but hey, it is the NFC West, they still have a chance.
AFC East:
1. Bills 3-0: The surprise team of the year, the Harvard man has led them to an undefeated start. I definitely think this team is for real and will compete for a playoff spot and ulimately clinch it, but via the wildcard. I don't think the Pats will lose this division, they are still dominant.
2. Patriots 2-1: This team is still one of the top in the NFL, and will win the division. Tom Brady will have a record breaking year.
3. Jets 2-1: I am not sure how the Jets have made it to the AFC Championship game two years in a row, but they won't be in the playoffs this year.
4. Dolphins 0-3: Ew.
AFC North:
1. Ravens 2-1: Big win against the Steelers and embarassing loss to the Titans, I'm not sure what this team is yet but I think they finally snatch this division title away from the Steelers.
2. Steelers 2-1: This team is a perennial power and I see them in the playoffs again this year, clinching a wildcard ahead of the Bills. The team still has weapons even if they're "old".
3. Browns 2-1: Wins against the Colts and Dolphins look good for their record but I don't see this team as a threat just yet, give them a year or two and i think they can compete.
4. Bengals 1-2: This team can't compete in this division.
AFC South:
1. Texans 2-1: This is finally the year the Texans can move away from the Peyton Manning's Team shadow and win the division. They have a great offensive line, plenty of weapons on offense, and a decent defense.
2. Titans 2-1: With Kenny Britt out for the season I don't think this team will make the playoffs, unless Chris Johnson puts da team on his back. They will end in 2nd.
3. Jaguars 1-2: I don't see Blaine Gabbert getting this team where it needs to be this year, but they won't finish in last.
4. Colts 0-3: Peyton Manning should win MVP this year.
AFC West:
1. Raiders 2-1: This team is great within the division, and they proved they can beat a real team in the Jets. Darren McFadden is a stud and I see this team winning the division. Surprise surprise.
2. Chargers 2-1: A preseason favorite to win the division, I just want to go a different way then the media, I see a midseason collapse by the Chargers.
3. Broncos 1-2: I'm still not sure why fans want Tim Tebow, but he wouldn't help them any. This team doesn't have the firepower to compete, and their defense is less than stellar.
4. Chiefs: They've had two tough losses to injury, and even when those players were in they were being embarassed. First to worst.
So, I'm not really sure what this article became but I had fun writing it. Give me your opinions if you have any.
Go Eagles!

|Softball game goes 'Beyond Expectations'
|Tuesday, July 01, 2014 8:00 PM
DHI Media Staff Writer
Beyond Expectations is a Delphos organization for individuals with special needs and the softball game brings participants of all ages with medical, physical and mental challenges out to play a game of softball with a crowd of support from the community who wants to watch one of the happiest softball games possible.
Amy Hale, an organizer of the softball game, wanted a chance to do something together as a family. She has a special needs son she had to stay home with as her husband took her other two kids out to do different activities.
"One day I just said, 'This is stupid. We should be able to do something together as a family'," she said.
Hale and her husband thought a softball game in honor of her father and softball coach, who passed away on July 3, 2001, would be a great family experience.
"For me personally, the best part of the game is just watching these kids and the joy on their faces," Hale said. "It is the best part of my summer."
This year, local businessman Jack Westrich has taken a larger role in organizing the event.
"I got involved about four years ago," Westrich said. "Once I went out and got involved, I was hooked on it."
Westrich loves going to sporting events of all kinds but the Beyond Expectations softball game caused a different feeling than the rest.
"Sometimes the wins and losses get carried away in our everyday life but when you see how happy these players are just to play, that's all the enjoyment that you need right there." Westrich said.
Westrich is helping to provide players with shirts, hats, water bottles and a medal, which the players will receive at a ceremony after the game.
All special needs individuals are able to participate and the Beyond Expectations group will help to make sure each player who needs help on the field gets the assistance he or she needs.
"Whatever the player needs a buddy will accommodate for them," Hale said. "We've had players as young as 3 and as old as 69. Whoever wants to play is welcome."
Hale has seen many returning players throughout the years and about four or five new players each year as well. They come from all around the area including Toledo, Sylvania, Gilboa, Ottawa, Ottoville, Lima and Delphos.
She also sees families who are not directly related to any of the players come each year to watch the game.
"It's the only game going on at the time during the festival so others will come on over to watch," Hale said.
The softball game is from 6-8 p.m. Thursday at the Delphos Little League Diamond at Stadium Park.
"I encourage people in the Delphos area to come out and watch the game," Westrich said. "You can learn what happiness is all about when you play a game of softball. That's what it's all about."

I was thinking of going with my girlfriend, but I wasn't too sure what to expect of it. I have actually never been to one of these draft parties before, but since its summer, I'm considering giving it a shot. I was wonderingf anybody has been to it, what to possibly expect, and is anybody going.
Boy, one thing that makes the offer extra sweet is the 09-10 season ticket giveaway raffle. I would sure love to score those. (probably unlikely?) I'm also wondering if anybody could give me an estimate of fans you think would be there? (: Thanks alot ClipperNation. Hope to hear from you guys soon.

Shipwreck (2009)
A few days back I covered a movie based figure that I found lacking compared to older versions, and today it's a movie based figure that's one of my favorite recent interpretations of a classic character. I shouldn't say exactly that this Shipwreck is a movie figure. He appeared in the movie toy line, but wasn't actually on screen.
This figure borrows more of Shippy's Devil's Due and new sculpt era looks than the iconic 80′s sailor outfit. That's not a bad thing at all to me, as I find something to like about both versions. Shipwreck wears the knit cap that was so prevalent on him in the 2000′s, and it works very well with the movie's armored shirt look. I wasn't too fond of the common armor that the movie Joes wore, but in this case I find it more palatable. Maybe I don't mind the armor because it looks somewhat like a wet suit. The paint wipe still doesn't do a lot for me. Also, I hadn't noticed before, but the way the sleeves extend past the wrist is weird. They remind me of the stillsuits from David Lynch's Dune.
The combined wet suit/land warrior look works well because of the included accessories. Shipwreck has breathing apparatus, a scuba mask and fins. They all fit together well on the figure, and the fins can even plug into the pack. He also comes with Polly, who can handily perch on the backpack as well. Figures that can store all their gear at once always score big favorite points with me.
The rifle, which I don't recall coming with anyone else in the movie line, looks sufficiently like an aquatic weapon, or at least a Super Soaker, and I'm glad Shipwreck wasn't just given the old '83 Torpedo speargun.
Oh, and I should't forget to mention, Hector is wearing some darn nice pants.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Former commandant of the Island Special Constabulary Force, Harold Crooks, was given a two year sentence which was suspended for three years in the Home Circuit Court today.
Crooks was earlier this month convicted on two counts of indecent assault on a minor. He was freed of another charge of carnal abuse.
In May 2010, the 72-year-old Crooks, left the island a day before he was scheduled to be interrogated at the Centre for the Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse in relation to the allegations.
He was held while after he jumped off a cruise ship in Ocho Rios, St Ann.

(AP) Boom Herron, who hadn't played since the Sugar Bowl in January because of NCAA suspensions, ran for 114 yards and a touchdown in his return Saturday to lead Ohio State past No. 16 Illinois, 17-7. With true freshman Braxton Miller at quarterback, the struggling offense of Ohio State (4-3, 2-1 Big Ten) counted on Herron against Illinois (6-1, 2-1). The Buckeyes didn't complete a pass until Miller hit Jake Stoneburner for a fourth-quarter touchdown and a 17-0 lead. The Buckeyes' defense forced three turnovers and turned two of them into their only touchdowns. Herron's 12-yard touchdown run followed an interception by Bradley Roby and put Ohio State up 10-0 in the third quarter. Read the full AP recap, see the box score and check out our Big Ten scoreboard.
Check out our quarter-by-quarter recap, powered by Narrative Science:
FINAL: No. 14 Illinois tried valiantly, but couldn't climb out of a 17-point hole against Ohio State, and ended up on the losing end of a 17-7 final on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Ohio State's (4-3) defense was stifling as it shut down the Buckeyes' offensive attack. Ohio State's defense allowed just 272 total yards as it frustrated Illinois' (6-1) offense. Dan Herron carried the offensive load for the Buckeyes, piling up 113 rushing yards and one touchdown on 23 attempts. Nathan Scheelhaase threw for 158 yards while going 19-34 for the Fighting Illini. He threw one touchdown and two interceptions. Scheelhaase also ran for 49 yards on 16 attempts. A.J. Jenkins was the player Scheelhaase targeted most often. He hauled in eight catches for 80 yards. Ohio State's Braxton Miller passed for 17 yards, completing one of four throws. He tossed one touchdown and no interceptions. Miller was also a threat on the ground, as he rushed for 33 yards on 13 attempts. The Buckeyes' offense finished the game having gained 224 yards. In addition to Miller's efforts through the air, Ohio State also rushed 50 times for 207 yards.
FOURTH QUARTER: Jake Stoneburner led Ohio State in the quarter. He caught a 17-yard touchdown pass and the Buckeyes kept the game out of reach for a 17-7 victory over Illinois. Ohio State opened up the lead, 17-0, after Braxton Miller threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Stoneburner to end a three-play, 22-yard drive. The Fighting Illini closed the gap to 17-7 when Nathan Scheelhaase found Evan Wilson open for a three-yard touchdown pass to cap off an 80-yard drive.
THIRD QUARTER: Ohio State gained 74 yards on the ground in the third, and the Buckeyes now lead 10-0. Ohio State sniffed out Illinois' rushing attack in the quarter, holding the Fighting Illini to 11 rush yards. The Buckeyes added to their advantage when Dan Herron turned a handoff into a 12-yard touchdown, the final play on a one-play, 12-yard drive to give Ohio State the lead, 10-0. The Buckeyes began the drive with good field position after Bradley Roby intercepted a Nathan Scheelhaase pass. Ohio State's Herron hit 100 yards rushing for the game in the quarter, part of his 106-yard rushing performance thus far. Illinois will start the fourth quarter with possession on its own 22-yard line.
SECOND QUARTER: There were more punts than points in the second quarter and the margin is still three, as Ohio State leads 3-0. Both teams saw their defenses make stands, forcing five punts in the quarter. The Buckeyes held Illinois to just nine rushing yards in the quarter. The Fighting Illini are set to receive to start the second half.
FIRST QUARTER: The first quarter was so slow, the teams combined for more punts than points, and Ohio State leads 3-0 at the end of the first quarter. With neither team able to move the ball, there were four punts in the quarter. The Buckeyes got on the scoreboard first, rattling off a 10-play, 45-yard drive that ended in a score when Drew Basil kicked a 43-yard field goal. Ohio State had no play longer than nine yards on the drive. The Buckeyes didn't throw a single time during that march downfield. No. 14 Illinois has possession at its own 37-yard line to start the second quarter.

"I think it's a good idea. Wichita's just not ready for it right now maybe."
— Raul Tanguma, who moved his Sailor's World Famous Tattoos from Towne West Square to Delano, on having a tattoo parlor at the mall
"I think it's a good idea. Wichita's just not ready for it right now maybe."
— Raul Tanguma, who moved his Sailor's World Famous Tattoos from Towne West Square to Delano, on having a tattoo parlor at the mall
WICHITA — Sailor's World Famous Tattoos has a temporary reprieve and can remain in Towne West Square until at least Jan. 26.
Raul Tanguma and Justin Haas recently learned their 3-month-old business doesn't have the proper zoning.
"We did receive some . . . citizen complaints," says Kurt Schroeder, superintendent of the city's Office of Central Inspection.
The city told them they had to be gone from the mall by last week, but they've been granted an extension.
Schroeder says Tanguma has been given time to decide if he and the mall want to pursue zoning changes and community unit plan amendments to get to stay.
Towne West has limited commercial zoning, which doesn't allow tattoo parlors, and also has a CUP that further restricts uses in the mall.
A few years back, the city tightened its zoning provisions for tattoo parlors and piercing establishments.
Tanguma may seek a review to change those provisions.
"It'll be interesting," Schroeder says.
If Tanguma pursues zoning changes, he'll likely need an extension past Jan. 26.
"We're going to kind of play it by ear," Schroeder says.
Tanguma is proceeding as if he's going to get to stay. In fact, he wants to invite people to bring old sailor pictures to his shop so he can display them.
He'd like "actual local guys, preferably."
WICHITA — After less than three months in business, Raul Tanguma and Justin Haas have to move their Sailor's World Famous Tattoos from Towne West Square.
"I guess today . . . is going to be our last day — maybe," Tanguma says.
"We're just not zoned right for the city."
The city notified him he has to close by Wednesday.
"I think it's an issue that probably can be . . . resolved," Tanguma says.
But he doesn't think he can wait for a resolution.
"If you're not working, you're not making any money."
So Tanguma thinks he'll have to move instead. He already has a spot in mind, but that's not his first choice.
"I'd really like to stay in the mall," he says. "I don't think there's any big opposition to it."
Tanguma met with city officials today.
"It could not be our last day is what I keep hoping."
WICHITA — Towne West Square continues to reinvent itself.
Earlier this year, Douley's Billiards & Sports Bar and the Denim & Diamonds club opened there.
Now, the mall is getting its first tattoo parlor.
"Tattoo has kind of evolved to being in the mall now," says Raul Tanguma, who next month is opening Sailor's World Famous Tattoos with Justin Haas.

More Proof GB Fans Suck
The  Frozen Tundra  website has recently shut down again because of inappropriate use of the site. This is just another example of why Vikings fans can tough it out a lot better. Our webmaster here at purplepride removed one guy's filthy messages and eventually converted us over to a registration only board but the webmaster of the  Frozen Tundra  had to be a crybaby and shut his down because the Viking fans (and some Bears fans as well) were giving him too many problems. You should have seen it, all hell broke loose on that website about 24 hours or so ago from the posting of this message. Here's to the team that rules:

Slacks Creek Catchment Recovery Project
Catchment overview
Slacks Creek (PDF 1429 KB) flows through the heart of Logan City. It's not the Logan River's biggest tributary but it links some of the city's busiest suburbs to the river. It's the creek you see when you visit IKEA or drive over Compton Road. Slacks Creek has lost much of its naturalness over time as homes, shops and factories have sprung up on surrounding lands and development has reshaped the little streams that feed its waters.
Today Slacks Creek struggles with pollution and erosion as more and more unfiltered storm water gushes in from urban areas after rain. Yet the catchment still supports large wildlife habitat areas and pockets of healthy bush land.
Healthy Waterways award finalist and winner
Logan City Council's Slacks Creek Catchment Recovery Project has taken out top honours at the 2014 Healthy Waterways Awards, claiming the title of Best Government Project and finalist in the Urban Renewal Award category.
Slacks Creek catchment futures study
Imagine cycling along Slacks Creek from Shailer Park to Logan Central, spotting platypus in deep billabongs, enjoying an outdoor lunch overlooking wetlands or throwing the ball around in a shady, creek-side park.
Slacks Creek Futures is about reclaiming lost spaces, the quiet pool where you once swam, the bush land home of your first cubby house or the place you would like to take your mates to fish.
We can't restore Slacks Creek to its former natural state but we can embrace it as a real city asset. We can re-vegetate creek banks, restore environmental corridors, re-establish natural systems and create new spaces to share.
Slacks Creek Catchment Recovery Project (PDF 1053 KB) is a long-term project to rejuvenate the Slacks Creek Catchment area and is a response to community concerns raised at the Logan Waterways Summit of 2011. It is also a part of Council's broader Logan Rivers and Wetlands Recovery Program.
View the final report and appendices below:
"Slacks Creek will be a vibrant, green corridor bringing people and nature together; inspiring healthy living and creativity."
For more information on Logan's Rivers & Wetlands please email email@example.com.
Australian Government funding
Council has a long term commitment to rejuvenate the Slacks Creek Catchment area through the Slacks Creek Recovery Project.
The Australian Government will be funding a large project that is occurring over the next five years in Slacks Creek (The Slacks Creek Restoration Project).
The project will consist of a number of activities, including native revegetation and weed removal, which will be managed by Council and supported by a number of partners.
The major project partners are:
There are six project sites:
- Compton Road to Moss Street
- Shailer Pioneer Park
- Meakin Park
- Logan City Golf Club
- Griffith University, Logan Campus
- Riverdale Park
The project aims to:
- Revegetate and restore a section of Slacks Creek to increase habitat for wildlife, improve habitat quality, and reconnect areas of existing vegetation
- Improve water quality, bank stabilisation and pollutant mitigation
- Increase knowledge and engagement of the community to better conserve, manage and protect natural resources
The project will commence in early 2014 and will run until 2018.
A number of community events and activities will be happening as part of this project.
To be involved, or for more information, please contact Council at email@example.com or call 3412 4779.

Groom sites
I wish more grooms would take the initiative and write THEIR side of the story when it comes to weddings…I'm sure we're all wondering whats going on in their heads during this process. Mike introduced me to The Grooms Truth, his blog about "the truth behind weddings and the girl you're marrying"….And of course, there's Groom Groove, a great place for grooms and the males in the bridal party to find out all the tricks of the trade….
Do you guys know of any others out there?

Um, I just am not feeling the grooms truth. One of the things about engagment is trying to run fast and far from the gender sterotypes.
The real truth is my groom might show me up in the wedding planning department, I'm a stricter budgeter then him, and he's always the one to suggest project runway. I mean ugh.
Maybe he should blog about weddings.

Great concept! I like to focus on the groom in my business. I always encourage them to be part of meetings and decisions. I also give them attention on the big day! It is their wedding too-but, no worries girls- it's still all about the bride-RIGHT?!

Wes Welker has turned his 13 first-half targets into 10 receptions for 89 yards and a TD against the Dolphins on Sunday. He has a shot to challenge the record for most catches in a game (21).
Welker entered the game with 80 catches on 115 targets for 961 yards and three TDs. Welker also came in with back-to-back games with seven catches and hasn't gone over 100 yards or seven catches on his last five games. In fact, Welker averaged just 67 yards per game in his last five.
The absence of Rob Gronkowski combined with Aaron Hernandez should make Welker Tom Brady's favorite target by a country mile. Plus, the Dolphins also have a stout run defense this year, so the Patriots are obviously focusing on their aerial attack.
Welker should continue to be a monster for the rest of the season and even though there could be some weather to influence owners' decision, the short passes to Welker shouldn't be hurt too much. He'll be a WR1 for the rest of the way.

I feel the Chiefs d-line has received a lot of criticism that maybe all of it they didn't deserve.
I noticed most of the time the opponents QB gets rid of the ball so quickly that there really isnt time for a sack. Obviously this doesnt apply to every play but a majority of the time i feel the lack of coverage has made the QB's job way too easy. It seems they always have a wide open reciever to throw to. In fact it has seemed to me that the last two yrs our recievers have defenders hanging all over them when they try to make a catch, while the opponents receiver has open space and really no Chiefs defender within 4 or 5 yards. Two yrs ago Tony would have a guy on each arm yet he was strong enough to rip the ball away, yet our defenders....well you get the picture.
I think this why management chose to address the secondary heavily in this yrs draft. If our coverage personnel can start locking up these receivers within the first 2 seconds of the play, thus causing the QB to look to his 2nd and 3rd options, the sacks will soon follow.Unless the defender is left alone unblocked it takes around 3 or 4 seconds to get to the QB depending on where the pressure is coming from.
To make a long story short i just dont think Dorsey and TJ can be as bad as some people think. Football is a team sport and as the secondary improves it will certainly help our dline in the sack and pressure dept.

CBS Touts Skewed Poll Showing Majority Support for Unions
On Tuesday's CBS Early Show, co-host Chris Wragge touted a new poll claiming people support unions over Republican plans to cut state deficits: "A new CBS News/New York Times poll shows that a majority of Americans, 56%, are opposed to cutting the pay and benefits of state workers to balance budgets while just 37% are in favor of it."
While Wragge called them "state workers," the actual poll consistently used the phrase "public employees," never state workers or government workers. On NBC's Today on Tuesday, pollster Frank Luntz explained how one phrase invokes a positive response while the other does not. Speaking to co-host Matt Lauer about the newly released CBS poll, he noted: "If you call them 'public workers' a majority of Americans respect them. If you call them 'government workers' a majority of Americans don't." Clearly, CBS and the New York Times selected wording that would elicit a response favorable to the liberal position on the issue.
In the report that followed on the Early Show, correspondent Cynthia Bowers described how Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's budget-cutting proposal "seeks to plug a $3.6 billion budget gap, would limit state union workers rights to collective bargaining, something the Governor insists is necessary." She then claimed that the poll showed that "others argue it isn't ethical." No where did the poll ask if curbing collective bargaining for unions was ethical or not, but simply if respondents agreed with the policy or not.
Bowers went on to declare: "According to the CBS News poll, 60% of Americans oppose taking away the collective bargaining rights of unionized public employees." As Luntz also pointed out on Today: "...if it is instead called 'the right of people to join or not to join a union' then the whole side flips."
Finally, Bowers cited another finding supposedly against Walker: "Our poll showed Americans even prefer raising taxes over cutting employee benefits or funding to schools or roads. Since taking office in January, Governor Walker has cut corporate taxes in Wisconsin." The question she referred to reads:
If you had to choose one, which of the following would you be willing to do in order to reduce your state's budget deficit 1. increase taxes, 2. decrease benefits of public employees like teachers or police officers, 3. decrease funding for roads and public transportation, or 4. decrease funding for education?
While Bowers touted the 40% who called for higher taxes, she failed to point out that if the other three options – all calling for spending cuts – were combined, 45% of respondents would favor a reduction in government spending over increasing taxes.
As NewsBusters' Brent Baker earlier reported, Monday's CBS Evening News also hyped the new poll, emphasizing the same points as Bowers. He noted that when CBS polling showed a clear majority of Americans supported Arizona's immigration law in 2010 – which the media continually vilified – the network was largely silent.
Here is a full transcript of the March 1 Early Show segment:
CHRIS WRAGGE: Ultimatum. A new CBS News poll finds a majority of Americans back union workers in the ongoing budget battles as Governor Walker threatens layoffs if Democrats don't come back to work today. We're live in Wisconsin with the latest on the political showdown there.
CHRIS WRAGGE: Now to the ongoing battle over state and federal budgets. A new CBS News/New York Times poll shows that a majority of Americans, 56%, are opposed to cutting the pay and benefits of state workers to balance budgets while just 37% are in favor of it. Nowhere is the issue more heated than in the state of Wisconsin. And CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers is still in Madison with the latest on this. Cynthia, good morning.
CYNTHIA BOWERS: Good morning, Chris. You know, all the hoopla that's been playing out here has been over a simple budget repair bill. Today the other shoe drops when the Governor presents the real deal, his real budget, with even more drastic cuts. The big question though is will those missing senators bel around to hear it?
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Ultimatum; Wisconsin Gov. Wants Budget Bill Passed Today]
PROTESTORS: Kill the bill!
BOWERS: On Monday, the two-week budget battle between Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, 14 Democratic state senators, and union protesters continued to heat up. And Walker again called for the return of Democrats who have fled the state to stall a budget vote.
SCOTT WALKER: The bottom line is if they do not come home, there are dire consequences.
BOWERS: Consequences, he said, that will include massive layoffs and the loss of $165 million in debt-restructuring savings if his budget repair bill is not passed by today.
PROTESTORS: Scott Walker has got to go!
BOWERS: The bill, which seeks to plug a $3.6 billion budget gap, would limit state union workers rights to collective bargaining, something the Governor insists is necessary. But others argue it isn't ethical. According to the CBS News poll, 60% of Americans oppose taking away the collective bargaining rights of unionized public employees [33% Favor]. After calling Walker's bill 'an assault on unions' two weeks ago, President Obama weighed in again on the issue at the National Governors' Conference yesterday.
BARACK OBAMA: I don't think it does anybody any good when public employees are denigrated or vilified or their rights are infringed upon.
BOWERS: Governor Walker, who didn't attend the conference, says even with the cuts, Wisconsin workers would fair better than federal employees do.
WALKER: What we're offering is actually more generous than what they provide at the federal level.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Budget Battles; CBS News Poll: Majority Back Unions]
BOWERS: Yet our poll showed Americans even prefer raising taxes over cutting employee benefits or funding to schools or roads. Since taking office in January, Governor Walker has cut corporate taxes in Wisconsin. Now, Senate Republicans told me late yesterday that they are still galvanized around this budget bill and plan to pass it as soon as those missing Democrats get back. Chris.
WRAGGE: CBS's Cynthia Bowers in Madison, Wisconsin for us this morning. Cynthia, thank you.
WALKER: As you can see, the Governor won't budge and those state senate Democrats won't budge either.
ERICA HILL: They're not budging either. A little bit of a standoff there. We'll continue to follow it.

That tells me this CBS poll asked only union members the question. Has to be, or it becomes apparent that one or the other of the things isn't true. Either the reporting in Wisconsin is errant or the CBS poll is.

Take the phrasing, the inaccurate +10 Democrat sampling, and the "adult" sample that tends to favor liberal positions, and you're looking at some substantially skewed results. They pulled every string available to push the results in the desired direction.
And when an "issue" poll is divided out into individual unfortunate options, they tend to poll poorly even when people acknowledge that something needs to be done. People generally don't want to take away someone else's "rights", or pay, or benefits. It's the same reason individual aspects of Obamacare poll well, while most people don't like it as a whole. For example, If you ask, sans context, if people are in favor of insurance companies refusing customers due to pre-existing conditions, naturally, respondents will tend toward opposing it. If you connect the prohibition it to the individual mandate, the results are much different.

Submitted by needle on Tue, 03/01/2011 - 2:55pm.
Here are some interesting follow up questions:
In "randomly" [har, har] phoning 984 adults, how did it just so happen that CBS somehow managed to poll 67% more union oriented families than would be expected, and almost 50% more government worker families than would be expected?
Oh, and while we are at it, why should anybody assume that CBS did not jigger the "randomness" of the rest of the people they "randomly" [har, har] phoned (say from their own personal phone directories)?
Why does doesn't somebody poll the public, in a genuinely random fashion, and determine who actually listens to CBS and who doesn't?
And among those who do, what is their perception of the world? for example: How many are "truthers"? How many think Global warming is a crisis issue? How many think concern about the National Debt is overblown and needs to be ignored in order to stimulate the economy? How many think the Tea Party Movement is significantly racist? Etc.

He already has the tools he needs so his posturing is a senseless waste of time. Public opinion will soon swing in flavor of the liberal thugs as the MSM keeps portraying them as underdog.

Poll manipulation in action
Submitted by yabkpjo on Wed, 03/02/2011 - 11:48am.
This is an easy poll to manipulate - if you ask a random person if they support "taking away rights", more than likely they'll say no even if they have no idea what the context/specifics of the legislation are.
Given all the media airtime given to outrageous statements by Democrats and protesters about Governor Walker supposedly trying to put public workers into sweatshops, it's no wonder that many people have false understandings of what public union collective bargaining really is.

Application submitted to demolish Cradley Heath Municipal Buildings
10:16am Monday 9th July 2012 in Local
A PLANNING application has been submitted to bulldoze Cradley Heath Municipal Buildings.
Sandwell Leisure Trust is buying the site to expand Haden Hill Leisure Centre's car park and part of the land will also be sold to the Fire Service to build a brand new fire station.
However, on the planning application the reason given for demolition is "for development, car parking and residential development" raising the possibility that houses might be built on part of the site.
Sandwell Council submitted the planning application to demolish the buildings to its planning department and it will be only a matter of months before the Municipal Buildings are erased from history.
The buildings were built shortly after Rowley Regis received its charter as a municipal borough in 1933 to replace the original council offices in Lawrence Lane, Old Hill.
The foundation stone was laid by the last Mayor of Rowley Regis, Alderman Thomas Deeley, on October 23 1937 and the building was then officially opened in December 1938.

"What are Google's plans for turning WebM into a genuinely open standard, one that is based on consensus like the rest of W3C's HTML5 effort?" he also wrote. "Would Google fully support such an effort? Even the WebM project's domain is controlled by Google."
Google has argued that WebM will be a more open standard than H.264 and that licensing fees will lead to H.264's downfall. "To use and distribute H.264, browser and OS vendors, hardware manufacturers, and publishers who charge for content must pay significant royalties — with no guarantee the fees won't increase in the future," Google product manager Mike Jazayeri recently wrote in defending Google's decision to drop H.264 in Chrome.
Microsoft's attack on Google Wednesday comes just one day after Google accused Microsoft of copying its search results in Bing. Microsoft is also struggling to thwart the momentum of Chrome. Despite excitement around the IE9 beta, Chrome surpassed the 10 percent usage mark in January for the first time, as Internet Explorer's market share continued to shrink from 57 percent to 56 percent of global browser usage.

Will 21st Century Fox Head Higher Post-Earnings?
With shares of 21st Century Fox (NASDAQ:FOXA) trading around $32, is FOXA an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework.
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
21st Century Fox was formerly part of News Corp. The company has a portfolio of cable, broadcast, film, pay television, and satellite assets spanning six continents across the globe. It is home to a global portfolio of cable and broadcasting networks and properties: FOX, FX, FXX, FS1, Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Fox Sports, Fox Sports Network, National Geographic channels, Fox Pan American Sports, MundoFox, STAR, and 28 local television stations; film studio 20th Century Fox Film; and television production studios 20th Century Fox Television and Shine Group.
21st Century Fox on Thursday reported $7.06 billion of total revenue for the three months ending September 30, a $1.06 billion, or 18 percent, increase over the $6 billion of revenue in the prior year. Approximately half of the revenue increase reflects growth at the Cable Network Programming, Filmed Entertainment, and Television segments. Commenting on the results, Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said: "In our first quarter as 21st Century Fox, we delivered strong revenue increases across all of our businesses as well as growth in OIBDA even as we made significant investment in our channels business, and faced a difficult film comparison and currency headwinds. The investment we are making, including the launch of FXX and Fox Sports 1, will drive future sustained growth toward our stated 2016 target of $9 billion of OIBDA and beyond."
T = Technicals on the Stock Chart Are Mixed
21st Century Fox stock has been trading sideways in recent quarters. However, the stock is currently surging higher and looks set to continue this path. Analyzing the price trend and its strength can be done using key simple moving averages. What are the key moving averages? The 50-day (pink), 100-day (blue), and 200-day (yellow) simple moving averages. As seen in the daily price chart below, 21st Century Fox is trading below its rising key averages, which signals neutral to bearish price action in the near-term.
Taking a look at the implied volatility (red) and implied volatility skew levels of 21st Century Fox options may help determine if investors are bullish, neutral, or bearish.
Implied Volatility (IV)
30-Day IV Percentile
90-Day IV Percentile
|21st Century Fox options
What does this mean? This means that investors or traders are buying a very significant amount of call and put options contracts, as compared to the last 30 and 90 trading days.
Put IV Skew
Call IV Skew
|March Options
|April Options
As of Thursday, there is average demand from call buyers or sellers and high demand by put buyers or low demand by put sellers, all neutral to bearish over the next two months. To summarize, investors are buying a very significant amount of call and put option contracts and are leaning neutral to bearish over the next two months.
On the next page, let's take a look at the earnings and revenue growth rates and the conclusion.

A memory leak occurs after you install Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4
Article ID: 835517 - View products that this article applies to.
On This Page
After you install Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4), a memory leak condition may occur on a server that also has Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) installed. When you try to log on to the server computer, you may experience one or more memory errors. Additionally, the server may stop responding (hang), and event ID 2020 may appear in the system event log.
This problem may occur if programs generate remote procedure call (RPC) network traffic. This problem may affect MOM because MOM generates RPC traffic when it communicates with managed agents.
Hotfix informationA supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. However, this hotfix is intended to correct only the problem that is described in this article. Apply this hotfix only to systems that are experiencing this specific problem.
If the hotfix is available for download, there is a "Hotfix download available" section at the top of this Knowledge Base article. If this section does not appear, submit a request to Microsoft Customer Service and Support to obtain the hotfix.

Third Quarter Moon Phase – Moon in Aries
You can feel the buildup of energy as we progress toward July 17th, which I am labeling as a turning point. Things are becoming exceptionally complex. This is in part due to one of the largest sunspots in years crackling on the Sun. That particular energy is pressing on issues of commitment, one of the keywords today. Levels of commitment are going to be a major factor (hinge) with the turning point. So you may be getting an idea about how the powerhouse day ahead will affect you. What are you committed to and what are you wavering with? How committed are you to yourself?
Is there some part of you that is ready for a turning point – a breaking point or a chance to break away? Today's photograph of the Venus-Jupiter conjunction with Alderbaran and the Pleiades was taken by Kosma Coronaios and posted on spaceweather.com. I've chosen it to help us focus on the beauty that always surrounds us. The dominant energy is toward action and is taking us into new territory, but we need to keep on course with the Earth.
The view of these lovely stars is possible from our vantage point on Earth. So let's walk closely to the ground today and remember to take time for your ritual of opening up space inside yourself for an influx of spiritual frequencies on July 17th (see yesterday's post for more information). Note: Mercury will station retrograde on July 15 at 10:16 pm EDT. Mercury retrograde makes communications (electronic and interpersonal) challenging. If there is something you need to convey, do it before then.

The Minnesota Wild fan who was grabbed by Vancouver's Rick Rypien on Tuesday night says he will be getting a lawyer. James Engquist, 28, told Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune today that he was assaulted by Rypien and that legal representation is in his future.
Engquist attended the Wild-Vancouver game with his brother, Peter, getting seats directly behind the visitors' bench as a gift from their father: "I was just standing straight up applauding as he was getting kicked out. He was out of control. And then I said, 'Way to be professional,' and he obviously didn't care for that comment and decided to grab me and almost dragged me over the rail. If my brother wasn't grabbing me and the other player wasn't grabbing him, he probably would have dragged me over the edge."
Perhaps the most damning account of Engquist's testimony to Russo this afternoon surrounds the allegation that the NHL didn't contact him at all in the aftermath. Not a phone call from either team, from Rypien or from the league, he says. That seems like quite the PR blunder, should Engquist be telling the truth.

Automatic mixing controller
Dan Dugan Sound Design
Booth N2515
Model E-1: The Model E-1 automatic mixing controller handles multiple live mics without having to continually ride individual faders. This eight-channel signal processor patches into the input insert points of an audio mixing console. It detects which mics are being used and makes fast, transparent cross-fades, freeing the mixer to focus on balance and sound quality instead of being chained to the faders. The Model E-1's voice-controlled crossfades track unscripted dialogue perfectly, eliminating cueing mistakes and late fade-ups while avoiding the choppy and distracting effects common to noise gates. Without the need for gating, a natural low-level room ambience is maintained.
Cavity backed antenna
Propagation Systems Inc
Booth C2329
PSI CB Series: The PSI CB series cavity backed broadband antenna is optimum for a single station or multiple stations. This antenna features a wide band dipole element that excites a cavity resonator, maximum beam control, extremely low VSWR and a uniform pattern with flat response across a wide band of frequencies. This antenna may be arranged for an omnidirectional or directional pattern. In the omni mode, circularity is ±2.0dB or better. Made of marine brass, copper and Teflon, this antenna is rugged and accepts deicers or radomes for environmental protection. The cavity itself is a galvanized welded mesh. Because of the extremely wide band frequency response offered by this antenna, the total number of frequencies is limited only by the total input power.
Portable surround sound mixing system
Booth N6129
Headzone PRO XT: As with the original Headzone system, Headzone PRO XT utilizes current DSP technology to provide superior headphone-based 5.1 surround sound reproduction. It also offers a unique patented ultrasonic-headtracking system, which locates the orientation of the listener's head with respect to the source material and adjusts the audio accordingly. Headzone PRO XT allows complete freedom of movement. The PRO XT includes enhanced headtracking functionality by providing more routing possibilities (left/right and front/back) in the software control panel. Also new to the PRO XT are added XLR inputs, an adjustable communication input with volume control, and a second headphone output. The Headzone PRO XT also allows for three individual user presets to be directly accessed through buttons on the unit's front panel and includes an adjustable, password protected limiter for hearing protection.
