It's one of the largest fundraisers in the western United States.
Cancer affects us all, and the Yellowstone County Relay For Life is just one of the ways cancer survivors celebrate life. Doug Stovall is the Yellowstone County Relay for life Co-Chair, and a seven-year throat cancer survivor, who has been involved in the event for ten years. He's walking for his neighbors who have passed away from the deadly disease.
"It's emotional for me because we have so many friends that have passed from cancer and I'm one of the five really good friends that's a survivor today," says Stovall.
Bob Emard is helping Stovall, he's been cancer free for almost thirty years and has been contributing with the event for as long as he can remember.
"I'm so busy during the day that I don't really notice things but once we get out here on the survivor walk, that's when you really thank the Lord," says Emard.
The survivor walk is often of the most emotional parts of the event, and 18-year-old Michael Hill is one of the four grand marshals leading the path this year.
"Its the first year they've had them so I'm really honored to be named one of the grand marshals for the very first year ever its really awesome that the first year they've ever had them they would choose to have me," says Hill.
Hill was diagnosed with kidney cancer at just six years old, and has since raised nearly $50,000 over the last eleven years.
"You're surrounded with the track and the luminaries of people that weren't able to defeat cancer and then on top of that it's everybody cheering for you its really emotional and just pretty cool," says Hill.
It's an emotional and inspirational day that continues on into the early morning hours.

Overruling his bureaucracy, NOAA regional administrator John Bullard on Wednesday announced a decision to shift to February and March a shutdown of the inshore gillnet fishery that was aimed at reducing harbor porpoise losses in bycatch.
The shutdown was to start Oct. 1 and last through November.
Immediate losses to three dozen vessels working out of ports from New Hampshire to along the Massachusetts Bay were projected to be $2.6 million, half that from the revenues of Gloucester-based boats, according to an economic analysis presented at the end of July by the Northeast Seafood Coalition, the region's largest industry organization.
The move in closure dates to next year should ease the economic impact on a fleet at the center of a systemic fisheries failure, declared days ago by the Commerce Department, by allowing gillnetters access to pollock. Pollock typically come through the inshore waters of Massachusetts Bay, including Stellwagen Bank and the Gulf of Maine, in the autumn, said Richard Burgess, president of the fishing cooperative Sector III, a group of 36 Gloucester-based gillnetters.
"This is going to allow us to catch a larger proportion of our pollock quota," said Burgess. "(Bullard) listened to the fishermen who know there are more harbor porpoises around in February and March than October and November."
Bullard reversed his own detailed, written position of Sept. 6, which was based on the research and recommendation of the Harbor Porpoise Take Reduction Team. Theteam includes government scientists, fishermen, academics and environmental organizations.
The reversal grants the fishing industry, which had congressional support, most of its argument and accepts its alternative plan to protect harbor porpoises.
The fishing industry agreed to modernize and expand the use of pingers, which project a pinging sound audible to porpoises to warn them of the nets that are their undoing.
Bullard, however, refused to reduce the size of the area from which the gillnets will be barred to give the porpoises safe travel.

South Sudanese rebels said on Friday government forces had attacked their positions a day after the two sides signed a ceasefire deal, but the government denied the accusation.
The agreement reached on Thursday night in neighbouring Ethiopia allowed for a 24-hour window for the ceasefire to take effect, meaning any clashes would not be in violation of an accord which took almost three weeks to negotiate.
But the reports of continuing conflict reflect the deep distrust between President Salva Kiir and rebel fighters, who include those loyal to former vice president, Riek Machar, as well as more autonomous groups.
"Kiir's forces' attacks on our defensive positions in Unity and Jonglei states are clear violations of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement signed in Addis Ababa," a statement signed by military spokesman, Lul Ruai Koang, said.
He said the rebels had the right to defend themselves with force. But Kiir's spokesman dismissed the claim SPLA government soldiers had launched any strikes.
"There was no single gunshot anywhere and we hope the rebels will honour their signature," spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny told a news conference in the South Sudanese capital Juba.
The violence since mid-December, the worst in South Sudan since it won its independence from Sudan in 2011, has killed thousands of people and driven more than half a million from their homes.

Policy Papers - March 01, 2011
The UN Security Council and the Responsibility to Protect: Policy, Process, and Practice
Favorita Paper, Issue no. 1/2010
The International Peace Institute (IPI) and the Diplomatic Academy Vienna have put together the first comprehensive analysis of the role of the UN Security Council in the ongoing process of implementing the responsibility to protect (RtoP). This most recent journal issue prepared by IPI and the Diplomatic Academy Vienna features contributions by senior policymakers and experts who participated in a conference co-hosted by the government of Austria, IPI, the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, and the National Defence Academy in Vienna.
Contributions by Gareth Evans, Edward C. Luck, Susan Rice, Terje Rød-Larsen, Michael Spindelegger, and others in this publication provide an in-depth analysis of the policy, process, and practice of the UN Security Council in protecting populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. The launch of this collection of essays occurs shortly after the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1970(2011) on February 26, 2011 on the situation in Libya, which recalls the responsibility of the government to protect its population and thus echoes paragraphs 138 and 139 of the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document on RtoP.
This collection of essays demonstrates that the Security Council's role in implementing the responsibility to protect is not limited to taking collective action against mass atrocities (pillar three of RtoP). The publication shows that the Council can also make important contributions to encouraging and helping states exercise their responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity (pillar two of of RtoP). By mandating UN peace operations to support security and justice sector reforms, the Security Council fosters national protection capabilities in states emerging from conflict, which typically face a high risk of relapse into mass violence. When the Security Council mandates peace operations to support the disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of former combatants it also strengthens the fabric of a postconflict society. By pursuing early engagement and preventive diplomacy the Security Council can encourage governments to address concerns and to mitigate risks before mass atrocities materialize.
The Security Council's multifaceted contributions to the implementation of the responsibility to protect complement the important roles of the General Assembly, the Human Rights Council, the Peacebuilding Commission, the Secretary-General, and other UN organs. The contributions of the Security Council to the implementation of the responsibility to protect have to occur within the scope of the authority granted to the Security Council by the UN Charter.
The publication was prepared by Christoph Mikulaschek, Senior Policy Analyst at IPI, and Hans Winkler, the director of the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, which publishes the Favorita Paper journal.

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating after a West Columbia police officer shot and killed a man with a handgun Monday night.
The incident happened at approximately 11:15 p.m. after officers were called to Kangaroo Express gas station at 1190 Sunset Boulevard about a man threatening a citizen with a handgun.
Officers located the suspect a block away in the 1100 block of Leaphart Street.
Investigators say when two officers made contact with the suspect, he pulled a handgun from his waistband. One of the officers responded by fatally shooting the suspect, Chief Dennis K. Tyndall said.
The suspect was later identified as Eliakim Tipan Shabazz, 48, of Marlboro Rd. in Cayce. Tyndall said Shabazz had a long history of weapon, drug, assault and resisting arrest charges.
The officer, who had been on the force for just two weeks, was not injured. He spent several years with the Richland County Sheriff's Department before joining West Columbia.
The officer is going to receive counseling and be assigned to light duty, Tyndall said.

Half-length portrait of a youth looking upwards
ca. 1500
Black chalk, worked over with a brush, on brownish paper, a strip of paper added on the left
Inv. No. 453
35.4 × 25.5 cm
This monumental, almost life-size chalk drawing was probably made in preparation for a large altarpiece or mural painting. One could imagine this upward-gazing youth, who has one hand tucked into his clothing above his chest, as one of a group of mourners assembled beneath Christ's cross, as a saint in a »Sacra Conversazione« contemplating the Virgin Mary, or possibly as one of the astonished apostles in an »Ascension« scene. The drawing may have been intended as a portrait, in which case this could be a donor gazing devoutly heavenward. However, the portrait-like appearance might also have come about because a member of the artist's workshop, for example, stood model for the figure. We know of no actually executed painting that would help us resolve this question.
At all events, the artist clearly set out to achieve a lifelike and three-dimensional effect and to reproduce the appearance of different kinds of surface materials by employing contrasts and fine transitions between light and shade. The dark half of the background makes the face, which is turned towards the light, stand out, while the side of the head that is shaded contrasts with a bright area behind. The eye sockets, the nose and the area around the mouth are modelled with fine shadows; a progressive darkening on the cheek makes the head appear fully rounded – an effect reinforced by a reflection of light below the chin and the strong use of black between the neck and the hair. A dark upper lip and light lower lip not only give the mouth greater plasticity but also make it appear alive and sensitive, while the hair, for its part, has a soft and lustrous quality. It is a manner of working which takes a conception of light and shade as its point of departure. That circumstance, along with the rich use of tonal gradations, locates the work as one of the Venetian Renaissance. In Florence, on the other hand, artists of the period in question attached more importance to line.
Although a number of Venetian paintings and drawings from the period around 1500 have a close kinship with this drawing, it has not yet proven possible to ascribe it to a particular artist. When it was purchased for the Städel Museum's Department of Prints and Drawings in the nineteenth century it was considered a work by Giovanni Bellini (ca. 1430-1516); as time went on, it was attributed to various artists of the latter's school. Most recently, scholars favour its ascription to Alvise Vivarini (1452/53 – ca. 1505) or a draughtsman working directly with him.

Adele to feature in documentary?
1:35pm Wednesday 27th February 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Adele has sparked a bidding war after she made a quip about featuring in a Beyonce-style documentary, according to reports.
The Skyfall singer caught the interest of US television giants when she was asked what she wanted to do next while she was backstage at the Oscars.
Academy Award winner Adele said: "Maybe I'll do an HBO special like Beyonce did."
Now the Daily Mirror reports that rival US TV stations are desperate to feature the singer in a feature length documentary.
A US insider was quoted as saying: "As soon as Adele said she could be interested in a show, TV producers were compiling suggestions.
"This will be a major coup for anyone to get. Adele hasn't done any major interviews for a long time. She has never spoken in depth about her relationship with partner Simon Konecki or the birth of her son."
Beyonce recently featured in an HBO documentary about her life, in which she spoke about the birth of daughter Blue Ivy and her marriage to rapper Jay-Z.
Meanwhile, The Sun reports that Adele left a post Oscars party early after picking up her best song award - to tuck into a burger.
It said the 24-year-old went to the In-N-Out fast food restaurant on LA's Sunset Boulevard to grab a burger and fries before getting back to her baby.
The newspaper said she told other guests: "I think I am going to get an In-N-Out and go home."

When a brand seeks to join the conversation of socially connected advocates using an incentive program, paid promotion or endorsement, that brand is relying on the advocates' reputation to benefit its own reputation. The advocate's perspective is that he or she is putting hard-earned reputation on the line. Each is relying on the other. Each is effectively "borrowing" the reputation of the other. We'll discuss the dynamics of borrowed reputation; how it relates to the POE model; how borrowed media relationships can be best structured to build/protect trust and improve ROI; and what marketing performance metrics these programs can reveal when implemented using structured disclosure.

How long will Zoloft show up in a drug test for the Military?
I got to MEPS in a week and a half for all my testing, including my drug test. I just stopped taking it, and i am drinking a TON of water and peeing every 30 minutes. How long will this stay in my system?
Posted 3 years ago in Other by SnowRunner
Your recruiter should have briefed you on when you needed to stop taking this medication. The best bet is to notify your recruiter. Both him(her) and you will be at fault if you test positive for anything. However, zoloft should be out of your system by then. You need to clarify with your recruiter though.
Wow, it's news to me that the military would screen for use of SSRIs. This is usually not a normal part of a drug test. All you would have to do is produce a valid prescription to show that you were taking it. You might want to keep that handy because sometimes Zoloft causes false positives for benzodiazepines, which they certainly will screen for (valium, xanax, etc.).It's a waste of time to be drinking all the water to "gid rid" of zoloft; it is metabolized in the liver. The drug has two metabolites. The sertraline part will be metabolized to half its former levels approx every 24 hours. The other metabolite takes much longer to dwindle-- half goes away every 2 - 4 days. But you really shouldn't have to worry with the prescription handy. http://www.drugs.com/monograph/zoloft.html

Depression is a mental illness marked by feelings of profound sadness and lack of interest in activities. Depression is not the same as a blue mood. It is a persistent low mood that interferes with the ability to function and appreciate things in life. It may cause a wide range of symptoms, both physical and emotional.

I've neglected the site for a too long, so I figured I'd try and paraphrase what I've been up to over the last few weeks. I've had plenty of adventures, some solid training and a lot of race.
I'm going to have to go way back to the last round of the British Cycling Cross Country Series at Kirroughtree near Newton Stewart in Dumfries and Galloway. The course at Kirroughtree is pretty awesome, with sections of trail centre, steep loamy descents and plenty of ups and downs. The weather hadn't been kind to the course though which meant some sections were super muddy and it was impossible to ride sections making a 2 minute run each lap which I'm not a fan of. After a year of scoring UCI points consistently I was up to the second row on the grid and able to get into the race from the off. I made the top 3 into the singletrack and by the end of lap 1 I came through with Oli Becknigsale and Hamish Bachelor in 3rd, 4th and 5th. I was losing ground on the running section and pulling it back on the muddy downhills. Going into the final lap there were 6 riders in with a chance of the podium. I was disappointed not to make the top 5 when I faded on the final lap to finish 6th.
Next up I was working in the Pyrenees with GPM10, helping guide a group of great guys from Northern Ireland in the Transpyreneenne trip. The 'Dirty Half Dozen' were raising money for Marie Curie and McMillan Cancer Care. The guys did a great job covering the 650kms across the cols of the Pyrenees and many a laugh was had! The guys also managed to raise over £12,000 for charity! Rock stars!
When I was back it was time to try and recover a little, race the SXC at Forfar where I managed to win (hooray!) and then rest up for the final round of the British Cycling XC series, National Champs and the World Cup in Val D'Isere. This didn't go quite to plan with the final round of the British XC being postponed due to flooding….
I made the trip to the south east for the National Championship at Wasing park with an eye on the podium. My legs felt good and I was motivated to stomp out a good race. The course was a bit of a let down, pretty flat and not much going on technically either. It was really physical though and difficult to carry speed.
From 14th on the grid I moved up to around 7th on lap 1 just behind a group of 4 leaders and 2 others. I was riding with cross supremo and 'cross World Cup regular Ian Field who gapped me slightly going into the start of lap 2. Following this was a long section of fire road with a bit of head wind and on the climb leading into the first descent I was passed by a group of riders led by a stomping Dan Fleeman, with Jody Crawforth, Paul Oldham local boy Adrian Landsley and superstar Nicky Craig. I slipped to around 15th at this point. As the race progressed I managed to pass some more riders back and moved into a group with Fleeman and Lee Williams and tried to press on to catch riders in front. By the end of the race I was on my own, Fleeman suffered a mechanical and Lee's back was giving him trouble after a long race. I rolled in 9th which wasn't what I was after really, but I finished spent after a long day out.
It's funny but most of the British XC races have lasted between 15 – 25 minutes longer than the World Cups and Olympics XC did. It doesn't help when trying to prepare for these races. Shorter and more technical tracks is what we need to make the step to international races.
From Wasing it was on to Val D'Isere World Cup with Scottish Cycling national coach Paul Newnham, and Gareth Montgomerie and Dave Henderson of GT Racing UK. We arrived in Val D'Isere late on a monday night with the race on Saturday. The week was made up of climbing the Col D'Iserean, riding local trails, resting up and practising the course. The track itself wasn't all that technically challenging but had a couple of narrow sections of singletrack and plenty of climbing. What I did find challenging was the 1800m – 1950m altitude we were racing at. I was struggling to catch a breath and my chest felt tight which wasn't helped by my hay fever.
On race day we also had heavy rain to contend with . I was gridded in 112th based on my world ranking which has been a work in progress this year. The start was pretty technical with a 180 degree turn after about 80m before the tape narrowed and the climb began. I started well and moved up about 15 places before passing a few more riders on the first climb. At the top of the climb and into the first downhill standard World Cup frustrations began. The bottle neck was so bad that we were stationary or walking from about 40th to 115th and riders filtering into the singletrack. At this point I think I lost around 3 minutes to the font riders. This is why an XC race starts so quickly!
By the end of lap 1 I was in the top 90 when I tried to settle into my effort. The course was so slippery with the rain and mud and I was struggling to recover from my lap 1 effort; I was really fighting the bike and struggling to press on and recover. At the end of lap 2 coming off the steep bridge and towards the river crossing I came in too fast, struggling to scrub speed on the grassy descent and I hit a rock too hard, pitching me over the bars and puncturing my front wheel which I couldn't re-inflate. It was about 3kms to the next technical zone to change a wheel so my race was over. Not what I wanted from the race but I took a lot away from the race and I know what I have to do to improve and step into World Cup racing next year.
What was really apparent to me was the infrastructure and support needed to compete at this level. Paul was our only support for the week and he was working his ass off cleaning and repairing bikes, attending race meeting, practicing the course with us and making sure we had essentials like good quality food. Without the support of Scottish Cycling I couldn't have made this trip and even then we were really operating on a shoestring budget. This is the level we need to be racing at if we wish to be competitive at Glasgow 2014 though, so we have to make it work somehow. Work in progress for 2013…
Since coming home from Val D'Isere I've been on a midseason lull in racing. I'm competing in the Scottish Criterium championships this weekend in Paisley town centre. Next week I 'hit the trail' with Dirt School with a UK wide road trip coaching at some new venues with the world famous Andy Barlow. Unfortunately this means I'll miss the rescheduled British Cycling XC series race in Essex which I'm pretty disappointed about. For now though I'm pressing on with some road miles and building for a busy end of season including the final SXC at Drumlanrig where I hope to wrap up a race win and a series win. From there I fly out that night with Rob Friel, Allan Clarke, Katy Winton and Lisa Kamphausen to Pakistan for the Tour of the Himalayas mountain bike stage race which should be amazing! When home I hope to round out the MTB season with an attempt to break 12 hours up the west highland way for charity (more info on that soon) and then the No Fuss Relentless 24 hours the following week with some friends.
Phew! That's a biggy. Thanks for reading… To get some more quick fire updates follow me on Twitter @rabwardell, like Rab Wardell on Facebook, Check @rabwardell pics on Instagram, follow me on Strava and read Rabs World on www.singletrackworld.com! Bam!

Baton Rouge, LA: Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) Commissioner Troy Hebert ruled this morning to continue the suspension of the alcoholic beverage permit held by Desperados of Acadiana Inc d/b/a Desperados Cabaret, located at 3730 N.E. Evangeline Thruway, Carencro. The Commissioner ruled that the alcoholic beverage permit will remain suspended indefinitely pending the outcome of legal proceedings stemming from a recent federal Grand Jury indictment that charges the business owner with maintaining a drug-involved premises at the business location.
Desperados Cabaret's alcoholic beverage permit was initially suspended on December 5, 2012 following an on-going investigation by various law enforcement agencies into suspected illegal conduct at the business.
Desperado's Federal Investigation Update
Wednesday, Desperado's Gentlemen's club, the Carencro strip club that was busted for running an alleged drug and prostitution operation, will find out if they can reopen and continue to operate.
The club was raided December 5th which led to the arrest of employees and owner James Panos.
Panos was charged with federal drug violations and bonded out. But Desperado's liquor license was suspended by the office of alcohol and tobacco control. Wednesday, a state judge will rule whether to uphold or terminate that suspension.
Desperado's Federal Investigation Update
Federal prosecutors are seeking to seize gentleman's club Desperado's Cabaret as part of the case against the Carencro strip club's owner, who was arrested earlier this month in an investigation of drugs and prostitution at the business.
James Panos (54) was booked Dec. 5 on a federal complaint charging him with "maintaining drug-involved premises" in connection what federal agents have alleged was open drug dealing by dancers and other employees at the club. A federal grand jury last week indicted Panos on the charge.
Panos' attorney disputes whether the club's owner had direct knowledge of an illegal activity at the club. Panos is set for arraignment on Jan. 17.

I loved the dynamic between the two of these as the game progresses. They exist in a state of almost constant bickering, witty but not constantly quipping back and forth like SOME Princes of Persia I could mention. You really see the relationship progress over the game, rather than just "here is woman, you love her now". For the lolz, I was going to say Ratchet and Clank, but sanity and good taste stayed my hand.

Appellate Practice
4th Circuit Footnote Scolds Prosecutors for 'Disrespectful' and 'Uncivil' Language in Pleadings
Posted Feb 29, 2012 5:57 PM CDT
By Mark Hansen
A federal appeals court has warned prosecutors about the potential consequences of using "disrespectful or uncivil language" toward others in their appellate briefs.
The Richmond, Va.-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in an opinion last week, said that advocates, including government lawyers, "do themselves a disservice" when their briefs contain intemperate language directed towards the courts, opposing counsel, parties or witnesses in a case.
It cited a brief in the case by federal prosecutors in Alexandria, Va., that it said was replete with such language, including its evident disdain for the district court's "abrupt handling" of the defendant's first appeal, its sarcastic reference to the defendant's previous counsel's "newfound appreciation for defendant's mental abilities," its insinuation that the district court's concerns "require a belief in the absurd," and its claim that the defendant is a "charlatan" who is "exploiting his identity as an African-American."
"The government is reminded that such disrespectful and uncivil language will not be tolerated by this court," Judge Allyson Kay Duncan wrote for the three-judge panel.
The case involved a man, James Venable, who had been indicted on a charge of possessing a firearm while being a felon. Venable, who is African-American, moved to dismiss the indictment on the grounds that prosecutors allegedly selected him for prosecution because of his race.
When the lower court refused to grant Venable discovery on his selective prosecution claim, he appealed. It was the prosecution's response to that appeal which raised the appellate court's ire. But the court affirmed the lower court's decision, ruling that Venable had failed to carry his burden of producing some evidence to make a credible showing of both discriminatory effect and intent.

iPhone amplifier / Speaker out of Wood
This is a terrific project that I decided to build for myself. I never want to spend $75 on an iPod / iPhone dock that burns through batteries, but I would like an amplifier for my iPhone. This wooden iPhone dock is a fantastic project. The plans were inspired by others around the web including Koostik.com and a similar iPhone amp project at LumberJocks.com.
This project was a great one that allowed me to work with my 9 year old son. He was happy to work with the drill press to help with the holes and with the spindle sander to clean them up.
Download the full iPhone Amplifier Sketchup plan by clicking on the image below:
I built mine by using 3 pieces of Cherry that were left over from a past project. I love working with Cherry and the finish always turns out terrific.
There are 3 basic pieces. I began with Part 2 since it had the most work and would be the least visible since it is sandwiched by parts 1 and 3. Follow the Sketchup plan (click the image for the file download, or
click here: http://www.woodworkcity.com/planpictures/iphone-amp.skp .
To construct your own, fabricate each of the 3 pieces from the Sketchup plan. Once you have your three pieces, align, glue, and clamp. After mine was fully set, I flushed up the edges with my chop saw. In addition to that, I wanted my iPhone amp to lean back a bit. This would help to retain the iPhone and give a more professional (finished) look to the piece. I set my saw blade at about 10 degrees and took a sliver off of the bottom. I also decided to put a routed edge on the speaker holes. I used a simple 45 degree chamfer bit.
Perform any finish sanding needed, apply your sealant, paint, or stain, and enjoy!
A reader requested some additional options for non Sketchup users. I have included a Word version, PDF version, along with some larger scale images:

Great plan, one thing Im curious about is how you cut the angle in the middle piece for the phone to lay against?
Does the opening for the phone need to be a precise fit? I was hoping to make it large enough to fit my Samsung galaxy S4 as well as my wife's iphone 5, but not sure if that would loose some of the amplification for her smaller phone?
Otherwise I'll make 2 of them!
Just made my first from a plan in wood magazine and love it already have additional prototype plans to attemp to improve on the design. Mine is funny looking, but a next wood project with Brazilian cherry and oak. Something a friend told me today improved the sound quality drastically, I put 2 pieces of surgical gauze in the slot for the phone, and it made a much richer sound, you sould try it. Can't share the plans as they came from wood magazine, but if I have success with my prototypes this weekend I can share. Shoot me an email and I can send you pic.
I love the design and plan of making a version of this plan. How thick are the 3 pieces? I assume each one is 3/4 inches thick. I would appreciate letting me know. Great job
Gill Brewster
Hi this looks like a great idea, but the link isn't working now. What to do?
I haven't worked out the wavelength numbers yet, but by placing the phone off center you will create a delay/phase shift between left & right which "could" lend a "spatial" effect to the mono sound source. I also think the offset would be visually interesting. You could also play with "tuning" the ports, ie. different size bores, making them "horn shaped" parabolas, extend tubes out the back for even more acoustic – and wood working – fun! LOVE your woodworking!
Just another observation. The two holes DO make sense even with the mono, one side only speaker as the through hole cross-drilled couples BOTH sides to the ports, this making the stand functional whether the iPhone is placed face-in or face-out! ; )
Please note! The iPhone does NOT have stereo speakers. The left side is a MICROPHONE. Just place your thumb over one side or the other to test this.
Just picked this up for use with my Hi school carpentry classes.Looks good!
Thanks so much for posting these plans! We just got a CNC machine at our school and we recently learned how to use sketchup files and use them to cut out 3D forms with the router! Thanks again for sharing!
I'm so new at using the CNC machine I wouldn't know what changes would be needed. I'll consider opening up the channel to the speaker holes with a cone shape. Otherwise, I'll try the plans as is. I literally tried 3D milling for the first time last night. I was pumped I could take a sketchup model to production in under an hour! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R1B4My73YA&list=UUeYfzeaXTeJT_ORF7wKBvEg&index=1
Is this what you had in mind? Tweaked the file a bit. I love the design, and I think that it might be ready for a CNC test tonight. I have some gorgeous 3/4″ baltic birch plywood waiting for a project like this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35518951@N03/8618643139/in/photostream
I can link to the pdf version but the Sketchup file appears to be missing. Can this link be repaired?
Thanks for a great project.

[…] The same as most modern households we use our phones to listen to music all day long. Most phone speakers aren't loud enough to really enjoy as you move around the house. So I started looking online and came up with The iPhone amplifier made of wood concept. I have seen countless concepts of iPhone amplifiers online. Some are simple and others more complex. Coming across Wood Work City's website I saw one of the best examples I felt I could build with the wood I had on hand. Here is a link to the design concept I saw on WoodWorkingCity. […]

LONDON (AP) — International researchers studying rape say they're startled about how common violence against women is.
The first large studies of rape and sexual violence find that about 1 in 10 men in six Asian countries surveyed admitted raping a woman who was not their partner. When their wife or girlfriend was included, that figure rose to about 25 percent.
The word "rape" was not used in the questions, but the men were asked if they had ever forced a woman to have sex when she wasn't willing or if they had ever forced sex on someone who was too drunk or drugged to consent.
The researchers say the findings should change perceptions about how common violence against women is and prompt major campaigns to prevent it. They say engrained sexist attitudes contributed, but other factors like poverty or being emotionally and physically abused as children were major risk factors for men's violent behavior.
The studies were published online Tuesday in the journal, Lancet Global Health.

The gift once I saw it was beautiful, it looks really good and was as pictured. For what it was I think the price was a bit steep (excluding delivery charges) as the flowers barely made it to the weekend before wilting.

It only takes one viewing.
Just one time to see Madison-Grant's Hunter Wise launch her long and angular frame at and through the ball to understand why she is The Herald Bulletin's Volleyball Player of the Year for the second consecutive autumn.
Wise, the senior who led the Argylls to a sectional title, had 533 kills this season and most of those sounded a bit distinctive.
"It is certainly an advantage to be tall, 6-foot-2 or whatever," said Madison-Grant coach Bob Holloway. "But not every tall player is a good hitter. It takes skill at every position in volleyball."
Wise always had a focus on team goals, but now that she has played her final high school game, she can look back on the season past.
"I think I had a pretty good year," Wise said. "Overall I beat some of my old numbers. I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I have without my teammates and without the people who have always supported me."
"She's done a great job of making herself better," said Holloway. "She better understands what to do in certain situations. I had her for four years and probably her freshman, sophomore and part of her junior year, I didn't think she saw the court all that well. But since then and especially at the end of this season, her court awareness has really improved."
Her level of play attracted colleges and scholarship offers. But after visiting some of those colleges, she decided to go where her head and heart told her to go.
"I've always loved Ball State," Wise said. "When I went to those other colleges, I just didn't feel right. But when I went to Ball State, I just felt like it was the right place."
The nearness of the university was a positive.
"It is so close that my parents can come to my games," she said. "Any weekend that I want to go home I can. I also really like Steve (BSU coach Shondell)."
So without an offer of an athletic scholarship, she will walk on, but she's not worried about the financial ramifications.
"I'm a smart girl," she said. "I know there are scholarships that I can get."
But there will be another level to which she will need to elevate her game to play for the Cardinals.
"She'll need to adjust to having three or four girls on the court as tall as she is or taller," Holloway said. "In this area and even in Delaware County, teams weren't very big up the middle. They had good teams but just not very big."
"I will definitely need to get quicker feet," Wise said. "I am going to work hard to get better."

POD: Friday Night Chilling
Posted on March 22nd, 2013 by Michael Johnson
|From Picture of the Day 2013
After a long week of work it was nice to come home and have a nice relaxing night with the kids. I captured today's picture of them as they relaxed on the couch after dinner. I'm a little worried that Jacob might be coming down with something, he seemed a little off tonight. I hope we don't have to add a doctor's visit to our weekends plans.

biciciclismo has an article up about the possible end of Pais Vasco and SanSeb this year. the gist, as i understand it (via the translation gremlims), is that the local Basque government can only provide 60 percent support for the editions this year, and despite best efforts, the remaining monies have not been found. this also poses a threat to possible editions in 2013 and going forward. a sad day for cycling if these two long held races, 51 and 31 editions, respectively, disappear from the calendar.
if i misunderstood any of the article, please clarify the points in the comments. thank you.

The stage was set for the perfect media day imaginable. Robert Griffin III was near-perfect, and Andrew Luck looked like a rookie. All that was needed was the Powerball; an afternoon of struggles for Cam Newton that could create a headline triumvirate, finishing with the phrase 'sophomore slump'.
So what happens when your Powerball doesn't come up? That eight you were waiting for is unfortunately a nine, and you have a decision to make. Do you toss aside your ticket and say "better luck next time", or do you take out your mechanical pencil, retrieve a magnifying glass, and try to alter that number in a vain attempt to sneak it through? Sure, someone might catch you, but the risk is worth it.
Football fans were rife to be exploited yesterday. On an afternoon where almost everyone was watching a stellar back-and-forth game between Green Bay and San Francisco, the stage was set perfectly to try and fudge the numbers, presenting Cam Newton as 'lost second year QB' rather than tell the more complicated story. It is a tale of successes, failures, but an overwhelming air of a player, in a bad situation, who couldn't do enough to turn it around.
More after the jump
Against Tampa Bay, Cameron Jerrell Newton threw two costly interceptions, both at times where the Panthers really needed a drive to be sustained. The first of which he attempted to squeeze a ball into a tight window, a throw he's made twenty times before, and yet this time two defenders swarmed, the ball popped up, and Ronde Barber plucked it from the air. Could Newton have played it a little safer rather than doubling down on LaFell? Probably, by nature Newton is a gunslinger. He has the arm to make the throws, he has the confidence to make the throws, and when they're complete we cheer; so should we chide him when it goes badly? Perhaps.
The second interception was indefensible- a back-foot throw, forcing the ball to Steve Smith, expecting Smitty to be Smitty and nab it out of nowhere. That play has its place, but it's not late in the 3rd quarter with the game on the line; Newton has surely learned that now.
The decision has been made among pundits to harp on the INTs, because, well, it's the easy thing to do- the story that writes itself. Why note that Newton was in the top ten in completion percentage this week, or that his 9.2 YPA also fell in the top ten? Those numbers don't fit the story. The story is Newton will slump, so the propensity is to do whatever it takes to sell the notion, and in a way this is a microcosm for media as a whole.
Yesterday was a day where fellow 2011 top-ten pick Blaine Gabbert, proclaimed to be a bust started to put it all together. In Tennessee, Jake Locker, now the Titans' starter had an excellent game too. Sadly, these must be overshadowed by "Newton's slump". There's still the overwhelming need to lead with what bleeds, and when you have a bevy of 'Newton with a towel' pics, it makes it all too easy to sell the world on the sophomore with struggles, even if it isn't really true.
Cam Newton wasn't perfect, he'll never be perfect- but if an 'off day' is 300 yards passing and an 83.3 rating, I'll take it. It's sad to see some fans falling for it, hearing all the negativity and assuming that the loudest voices must be the correct ones. Granted, these fans are the minority, but it's still a shame to see some getting sold on the idea of Newton slumping, and ignoring the game that was in front of their faces. Folks, Cam Newton played well. He made mistakes, he wasn't as good at times, but please- there's no slump.

She was the only person injured in the accidents, which happened between 163rd and 175th streets, the Sun-Times Media report stated. A medical condition might have contributed to Forbes death, the report added.
An autopsy was initially scheduled for Sunday, but it has been moved to Monday, said a spokesman for the medical examiner's office, which had no additional information about Forbes or the accident as of Sunday evening.
Tinley Park Police told Patch Sunday evening no details about the accidents or the death were being released.

Nice work for a 'first timer'.
Some hints for improving:
[*]Add a bit more detail to your analysis of the track. You'll see quite some folks will go at lacking detail when they criticise reviews
[*]Some nice hints can be found in the Guidelines. Have a look here: http://www.musicianforums.com/sputnik/guidelines.php
[*]Think about trying out the Overall-format. Some people really write better Overall- than T-by-T-reviews. Maybe write two or three of both formats and see what the feedback of the users is, and decide then which one to keep
Hope that helps

News: Drake Goes Far "Away From Home," Adds International Dates To His Tour
Thursday, May 20, 2010 11:15AM
Young Money's Drake has announced that he will be extending his Away From Home tour to Europe and Canada.
In addition to his own headlining dates, Drake will also be opening for Jay-Z.
Due to the overwhelming success of the first half of Drake's Away From Home Tour, the Toronto MC recently announced that he's adding a slew of new dates. The Young Money artist, who is now slated to open for Jay-Z at the MEN Arena in Manchester, UK on June 7 and the LG Arena in Birmingham, UK on June 9, has added his own European and Canadian tour stops as well. He'll also participate in three European festivals - Hove, Roskilde, and Wireless- and end his tour with his own OVO Festival. (XXL Mag)
Prior to the tour kicking off, Drake said his shows would feature a live band.
"It's a musical experience, it's about a mood," he says. "Women can come out and feel sexy. It's gonna be good. I picked the show that I would be at, you know? I don't know how people are gonna receive it. I hope that they come to my tour with an open mind, because it's not me and Pleasure P and Trey Songz. It's not what people would necessarily expect. It's not the tour that's based around hip-hop or R&B music. To me it's based aroundrefreshing sounds." (Rolling Stone)
He also explained why Young Money artists were not billed to tour with him.
"A lot of the Young Money artists are doing their own thing," Drake said in an interview. "I know Nicki [Minaj] is recording her album. Gudda is on a run right now. It was never brought to me that anybody had the time permitting to be on this tour for two months. Everybody is working on their albums and stuff like that. I love what a lot of people in Young Money have going on right now. But at the same time, I did say to myself I didn't want other rappers on this tour opening up. I didn't want to stick anybody in my opening slot. Nicki Minaj is a superstar, so to ask her to be on [the tour], unless we split the tour and both had equal time." (MTV)
The rapper recently performed at the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey.
Drake and Ke$ha are the latest artists added to the Bamboozle Festival roster, joining MGMT, Paramore, Mike Posner and Weezer. Drake will be performing right before Paramore on May 1 and Ke$ha on both May 1 and 2. (AZ Central)

Reporter: James Gherardi l Videographer: Levi Washburn
Lynchburg, VA - The latest numbers tell us more than 4,000 people are still without power in Lynchburg. Friday night marks one week since they lost electricity. And for many, their patience is wearing thin.
Deborah Marshall says every day without power has been a struggle for her and her family. One week ago Friday, she says a 30 foot tree came tumbling down in her back yard, taking her electricity with it.
For Marshall, each day begins the same way.
"It's getting up every morning, going to fill up the gas tanks, to bring back here to put in the generator. Trying to figure out what it is we're going to eat for the day, going out and purchasing that," she said.
A generator powers her refrigerator, two fans, and her television. "At night time, we're running on two fans. We don't even have the air conditioner hooked up to the generator; we have the fans hooked up," said Marshall.
But her limited electricity comes at a cost.
"We basically have been filling it up with gasoline at $2.95, costing us about $30 a day, since last Saturday," she said.
That, along with the cost of food, gas to bring her to and from the store is adding up.
"I'm spending basically three to four months' worth of money, in what I would be paying for one month in utilities," said Marshall.
Marshall's is the only home on her block without power. The tree took out her utility pole, and no one else's.
"Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones. Not only myself, but my other neighbor too. Both of us were blessed to not have our power off," said Marshall's neighbor, Joyce Crews.
Marshall contacted Appalachian Power last Saturday. "They stated they put me down, called back Monday to make sure, they put me down again, I called back today, which is Friday, and was told they had purged me from the system. Now I'm on a list that's probably going to be one of the last people that'll have power in the city of Lynchburg," she said.
Marshall says she's spent nearly $1,000 since she lost power a week ago. She says she can't keep paying for the cost of this generator. She's not sure what she'll do if she doesn't get her power back sometime soon.
