Rihanna's Family Wants Her to Marry Chris Brown, Says Close Friend (EXCLUSIVE)
Fans may disapprove of the rekindled romance between Rihanna and Chris Brown, but the Barbadian singer's own family is hoping she'll walk down the aisle with her one-time abuser, Celebuzz has learned.
"The family wishes she'd marry him -- we're just waiting for that day to come," a source close to Rihanna's clan said. "It's true love."
That's not all. Commenting on Brown, who pleaded guilty to assaulting the "Diamonds" singer in June 2009 after a Grammy night fracas, the insider said, "We love him like a son."
This isn't the first time those close to 24-year-old Rihanna have spoken out in support of her romance with Brown: her father gave his blessing to the couple just two months ago.
"I hope one day she will get married," Ronald Fenty told Life & Style. "Everyone adores Chris. He's a super guy."
The pair have had a famously rocky relationship since the L.A. assault, and the roller-coaster ride has only gotten bumpier in recent times. Just last week, Rihanna fanned the flames of breakup rumors when she Instagrammed a photo with a caption about being single; on Dec. 19, she tweeted a photo of an empty bed.
A day later, 23-year-old Brown also took to Twitter, posting an intimate photo of the duo together -- but within minutes, the "Don't Wake Me Up" star deleted the image.
If fans thought the Rihanna/Brown relationship was finally over, they were wrong: On Christmas Day, the two were spotted snuggling up courtside at a Lakers game.
The family friend answered that question with a question -- and one that some may find a bit ironic: "Do you know when you have a dog and it goes away and comes back?"
What do you think of Rihanna and Chris' relationship? Do you want to see them walk down the aisle? Voice your opinion in the comments section.

Traffic on Thursday will be intermittently stopped on Dupont Road (Indiana 1) to switch stoplights to temporary spans, the Indiana Department of Transportation's Fort Wayne district announced.
Each stoppage can last 30 minutes or longer, INDOT said, adding the work will be suspended between the peak travel hours of 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.
The speed limit on Dupont is posted at 35 mph in the construction zone, from the Dupont Commerce Court entrance to Parkview Plaza.
The I-69 of-ramp to Dupont is now restricted to one turn lane in each direction.
To avoid delays, drivers might want to seek alternate routes, INDOT said, such as the new Union Chapel Road interchange at Exit 317.
For more information, call the INDOT toll-free line at 866-227-3555 or send an e-mail to email@example.com.

A Camelot spokeswoman on Wednesday had revealed that over 1,000 lost ticket claims had been made relating to the £113m prize, including claims from some people who admitted to not even knowing whether the ticket they mislaid matched the winning numbers.

A once-promising discovery linking prostate cancer to an obscure retrovirus derived from mice was the result of an inadvertent laboratory contamination, a forensic analysis of tissue samples and lab experiments some dating back nearly a decade has confirmed.
The connection, which scientists have questioned repeatedly over the last couple years, was first proposed more than six years ago, when the telltale signature of the virus, known as XMRV, was detected in genetic material derived from tissue samples taken from men with prostate cancer.
Later studies failed to find the same signature, and researchers reported that while XMRV is a real, previously-undiscovered virus with interesting and useful properties, it is an infection of human prostate cancer cells in laboratories and not of prostate cancer patients.
Now, an analysis by a team of scientists led by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Cleveland Clinic and Abbott has uncovered the complete story behind this contamination.
As described this week in the open-access journal PLOS ONE, the original association between XMRV and prostate cancer resulted from traces of XMRV that appear to have found their way into the prostate samples from other cells being handled in the same laboratory in 2003. These cells were also contaminated with the retrovirus.
"Everything arose from this presumed contamination event," said Charles Chiu, MD, PhD, an assistant professor of laboratory medicine at UCSF and director of the UCSF-Abbott Viral Diagnostics and Discovery Center.
Anatomy of a Contamination
XMRV became a focus of research after its genetic signature was first found in prostate cancer samples in 2006. Similar studies in 2009 also detected the virus among samples taken from people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome though both discoveries have now been called into question. The original publication rela

Lunch places in the South Bay area.
- chowfun784 May 22, 2007 11:16 AM
i've been working in el segundo for almost 2 years and have tried most of the restaurants around the rosecrans area.
pachanga, red sesame, sansai, qdoba, L&L, joey's bbq, cpk, corner bakery..... what else should i try?
it is time for me to find a new restaurant. any suggestions?
re: ToroTaku
i have about 45 mins to an hour for lunch so sometimes i can make a trip to redondo but it's mostly el segundo/manhattan.
re: nyfoodjoe
yah, i had taiko yesterday, it's pretty good but my lunch was $15.
re: chowfun784
The Whole Foods on Sepulveda in El Segundo. Salt Creek Grill in same center. Tony Maroni's Pizza on Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach, there is a Rubio's next to it. Rinaldi's subs in El Segundo. El Segundo has a few sit down restaurants worth a shot too. Having a senior moment so all the names escape me. Valentino's Pizza on Sepulveda in El Segundo. Chipotle on Rosecrans. There is a Cuban restaurant on Inglewood and Manhattan Beach Blvd. There is a Daphne's Greek on Inglewood and Marine.
re: Densible
ooohhh... thanks! i'll try something new today.
re: chowfun784
You are welcome. Please let us know how lunch went.
re: Densible
I've had a couple of good lunches at Second City Bistro in El Segundo. Very pleasant place, good service, lunch + tip around $15.
Check out this thread on El Segundo area places. Might be a few on here you haven't tried. My favorite El Segundo spot is La Paz.
re: LisaStitch
i didn't like la paz as much after they moved from their main street location.
re: wowimadog
The food seems exactly the same to me, what do you find has changed? I'd agree if you are talking about the location itself - it is a bit too big for me, I liked the ambience of the tiny Main Street location better.
- North End caffe for truly excellent sandwiches. (3421 Highland Ave) ( I have some of the best ever from this place .. yes even better than Bay Cities)
- Petros for a some Greek food on the Patio. Not super cheap but they have a reasonable lunch menu.
- Pachanga for burritos.( On Rosecrans near bristol farms) Not exactly authentic mexican, but better than most chains. They flame grill all their chicken and steak.
I live around this area. These place are not the best but are ok and reasonably priced
Raul's Tacos - on Inglewood Ave near Rosecrans. Decent Mexican food - get the feeling the place was decorated in the 70's and has never been remodeled - lunch specials $7-$9
Rice Things on Artesia in Redondo Beach - cheap Japanese food $5-$9
Chicken Dijon Rotisserie and Grill - on Main in El Segundo and on Artesia in Redondo Beach - a 1/4 chicken plate with 2 sides is around $6
El Pollo Inka - on Hawthorne Blvd in Hawthorne. Peruvian food. Their rotisserie chicken is yummy, but kind of a dive. $6-$9
About 6 mos ago I had some awesome fried calamari (appetizer) at Il Fornaio – ymmv
before i got broke we used to go to lunch in and around el segundo a lot:
the richmond for sandwiches, burgers, homemade chips
rinaldi's as mentioned already
big mikes or the cuban sandwich place for more sandwiches
the shopping center with the rite aid has a meditteranean place that's pretty good, fish co for fish and chips which is kinda expensive but good if you're craving fried food.... round the corner is bad dog ale house which has some good burgers but can be slow...
thai dishes on aviation
zacatecas on inglewood/el segundo for mexican... there is also a pupuseria on el segundo past the 405 that direction that i never ate at but meant to try...
re: csrbeach
I love Richmond Street Bar and Grill. I especially like their schooners of Firestone!
I recommend Big Mike's for a Philly cheesesteaks and also the Cuban sandwich place (Havana Sandwich Co.?) for the obvious.
You could hop on the 405 south, exit Western and try The Local Place (same owners of King's Hawaiian). The breakfast and lunches are quick and well prepared. I've ordered both the teriyaki chicken and Hawaiian Fried Chicken for parties and everyone enjoyed both.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Hundreds of volunteers show up to help create a "One Shot Music Video" promoting downtown Ft. Myer's River District.
"We've spent 6 weeks planning so we've looked at it from every angle we have the exact time music will play at each location," says Antonio Castillo.
Castillo is the mind behind the concept.
His internet consulting company pitched the idea to local businesses, and it just flew from there.
Close to 150 volunteers are helping shoot the creative video that resembles others from around the world.
"We're not worried people are going to be camera shy... we have pirates, karate kids, red hat women, thespians they're all coming down."
The group plans to cram a 30 minute shoot, featuring music by local artist Jen Mack, and encompasing nearly 8 blocks into just a five minute video.
18 local businesses will be featured in the video, as well.
The video is set to hit the world wide web on August 2.

text: WASHINGTON, January 28, 2000âThe World Bank yesterday approved a US$26 million credit to strengthen the participation of Mozambique's private sector in the country's economic growth.The Enterprise Development Project will support the Government's program of reforms to address a wide variety of continuing weaknesses in its business environment. The project will focus on:· boosting the competitiveness of Mozambican private firms by strengthening their access to and use of support services external to the firm;· providing a more efficient market for training and capacity building services and establishing linkages to existing local and foreign buyers and investors;· enhancing access to term finance by both first-time and other borrowers; and· strengthening the capabilities of the Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Tourism, the Investment Promotion Center, and business organizations to improve the business environment.Mozambique has successfully undertaken a series of economic reform programs which is providing a stable environment for growth. However, small to medium sized businesses still face constraints relating to the development of business strategies, technical know-how, markets, finance and Government regulations. By addressing these constraints, the project will help improve the competitiveness of approximately 200 small to medium sized businesses in the manufacturing, agro-processing, and handicraft sectors.The Enterprise Development Project will be financed by a US$26 million equivalent credit from the International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank's lending arm for the poorest countries. The IDA credit is on standard terms of 40 years maturity, including 10 years grace. The Government, beneficiaries and donors will finance the project with an additional US$21.6 million.

If you want to win at life then you need to be willing to use the Forrest Bounce.
Arthur Chu has won over $102,000 on Jeopardy because he's employing that unique strategy. He pics different amounts in different categories while playing Jeopardy and his opponents are having a difficult time keeping up.
Purists are irrelevant
The goal of Jeopardy is to win fairly. Arthur Chu is winning and he's not breaking any rules. If you want to win at life I suggest you take permission and try different categories. Move around and try different hobbies, restaurants, routes to work or even where you live. If some people don't approve it doesn't matter. It's not their life or in Chu's case, it's not their game.
Who is your competition?
The competition that you need to outmaneuver is complacency, fear and the habit of doing what you know instead of what might be. In your business, your writing, your parenting and your dreaming, try the Forrest Bounce.
Move around.
Become unpredictable.
Surprise even yourself.
If you can ignore the purists and have the guts it's a winning strategy. Just ask Arthur Chu.
Where do you mix things up in your life and vary from the "norm"? Has it paid off?

Received my very bright Pink Skechers day after ordering them. Take a size 6 and because I haven't purchase Skechers before didn't realise I needed to order a size smaller. Love the new purchase, very light and comfortable on (although brighter than I would normally go for) . I would certainly buy more Skechers in the future.

A TEACHER was determined to lose weight for her wedding day and in a year shed nearly five stone.
Gemma Durcan-Smith, 26, of Saltney, set herself a goal of one year to slim down before marrying Alex, 28, with the support of mother Karan and sister Kassy.
The trio joined a WeightWatchers group in Saltney. At Mrs Durcan-Smith's first weigh in she was 14st 3lbs.
"The first meeting was nerve-wracking, I knew I was overweight but hadn't weighed myself in a long time," she said.
Despite her initial worries, Mrs Durcan-Smith, an RE teacher at the the Catholic High School, Chester, reached her goal of 9st 13lbs – a drop of four stones 10 pounds – by last Christmas, months ahead of schedule.
She said: "The first few weeks were an adjustment but the weight came off steadily and I set mini targets monthly about weight, new recipes or exercise. I felt so much better about my holiday photos last summer when I was losing the weight and seeing how good my mum felt spurred me on for my goal. I had gains along the way but I always gave myself a time limit to get the gain weight off."
Not content with her already impressive weight loss, Mrs Durcan-Smith set about shedding a further six pounds to reach a weight of 9st 7lbs just weeks before the big day.
She said her weight loss added to the joy of her wedding day.
"I loved every minute of our wedding day but putting on a size eight wedding dress that day was a great feeling," she said. "I felt so beautiful all day and I wore my bikinis with pride on honeymoon."
After her weight loss, Mrs Durcan-Smith ran the Delamere Forest 10k in under an hour.
She raised £125 for Cancer Research UK.

CaptionsGrand Canyon, Arizona
The Grand Canyon in northern Arizona is a favorite for crews on the International Space Stationas well as one of the best known tourist attractions in the world. The steep walls of the Colorado River canyon and its many side canyons make an intricate landscape that contrasts with the dark green forested plateau to the north and to the south. The Colorado River is visible as a darker line snaking along the bottom of the canyon. The river has done all the erosional work of carving away cubic kilometers of rock in a geologically short period of time. The river lies at an altitude of 715 m (2345 feet), thousands of meters below the North and South Rims. Temperatures are furnace-like on the river banks in the summer, but Grand Canyon Village, the classic outlook point for visitors, enjoys a milder climate at an altitude of 2100 m (6890 feet).
The Grand Canyon has become a geologic icon, known as a place where you can almost sense the invisible tectonic forces within the Earth, especially in the astronaut view from orbit. The North and South Rims of the canyon are part of the Kaibab Plateau, a gentle tectonic swell in the landscape outlined in the view by the dark green forested zone. The uplift of the plateau has two visible effects. One indication is the forest. In the drier parts of the world such as much of Arizona, forests usually indicate higher places (higher altitudes are cooler and wetter, conditions that allow trees to grow). The other indication is the canyon itself. Geologists now know that a river can cut a canyon only if the Earth surface rises vertically. If such uplift is not too rapid, a river can maintain its course by eroding huge quantities of rock and forming a canyon.

text: Hello all, I sent a message to the board a couple of days ago including a list of everyone registered with reserved land. I got a message back that it was held up for moderator approval because it was too big. Since I have not received a message saying that it has gone through, and time is short, I intend to resend it now, split into multiple messages. Please look for your Group and check your name. Thanks, Galen ************************** Greetings! In response to several questions about who has reserved land and who has not, I submit the following list. If your name is not on this list, then I have either not gotten a land request from you, or your name was not on the list we recieved from the Gulf War registry people. If you registered and requested land, and your name is not on this list, I suggest that you contact the Gulf War registry (http://www.gulfwars.org/). At this point, it is too late to get land allotted for you in our camp even if you get your registration problems corrected,so please see either myself or Baron Armand once you get to site before you set up camp. Please also be aware that this is not an official channel for registration questions or answers, do not depend on this now or in the future for registration verification or inquiries. Your registration is between you and the registrar, the land liasons have no input. I would have posted this earlier, but I only got the registration information this weekend, and am only now finishing going through it. If there is an NR listed next to a name in the list, that means you requested land but did not preregister. That means you _do_not_ have land reserved for you at Gulf Wars. There is no such thing as generic land reservation where you send your name in with a group but don't pre-register, as I have been told that some people have done; land is allocated to us based strictly on each persons pre-registration. If you did not pre-register, then the Coast was not given land space to account for you, period. There may be room for you to camp with us, but only after all preregistered campers have been assigned land. If there is not room, you will have to set up in overflow open camping rather than in the Coastal area. Thank you all!

Steelers, Jets And Mr. Wizard
The Mac Attack 1-24-11 Hour 4: Hour 4 is usually when things begin to get a little crazy on the Mac Attack and today was no exception. T-Bone was furious over how he thinks the refs screwed his Jets last night. That got Bruce the Jets fan and then Steelers fans angry. This whole incident led to Mac and Jim talking about the Mark Sanchez fumble play last night and how science is involved with the throwing motion. Go find another show in America that discussed Rex Ryan, Mark Sanchez, Mr. Wizard, and Bill Nye the Science Guy within 2 minutes of each other. We dare you! We wrapped up the show with emails, and some audio of terrible singing done by Ohio State basketball players.

Council of Europe condemns teen-bothering Mosquito
The Council of Europe has voted to 'ban' the Mosquito anti-youth device, despite having no power to enforce the ban, as the device's manufacture is keen to point out. The Mosquito is a small device that makes a buzzing sound below the hearing threshold of (almost) everyone over 20, thus dispersing groups of yoofs who might …
Doesn't break any laws?
So I'm free to wander the streets at all hours blasting people randomly with an air horn am I? If playing loud annoying noises at one group of people is legal then surely it's legal to do it at anyone?
I'm 25 and I can hear these things clearly, at best it's a breach of the peace, and at worst it's unprovoked assault.
Too Bloody Right!
For me it's definitely assault (just not the bodily-type), but likely best to get the local council health and safety office (if there is one after the budget has run through like and enema) to count the decibels and then get he police out to have what I would hope are strong words. Of course that's if it is only a private citizen, if I've got to walk past the police pumping out the ultra-sonics I'll treat it as if they decided to lump some tear-gas my way and reach for the police complaints/compensation forms.
Oh to be one of the continually surprised, wandering the world like a gold fish, seeing anything as though it's the first moment in the history of the universe. We have more than enough laws in the UK to be deal with anything you can imagine (and likely more beyond) since the events and actions that can ruin your day or end your life haven't changed much since Hammurabi.
Umm, nope, you can't ban vuvuzelas either
"I'm 25 and I can hear these things clearly, at best it's a breach of the peace, and at worst it's unprovoked assault."
So are vuvuzelas, yet a well deserved ban on that menace is impossible. I don't like the &%/* thing, but if getting rid of it means losing the laws that protect some of the last freedoms we have I will suffer it (that is, until the WK is over).
You see, the device doesn't leave the youth without options - they can simply go elsewhere. It's the equivalent of dumping some rotten fish at places where you don't want people, with the difference that fish smell is harder to switch off, and may attract cats.
Actually, "cats" is exactly where the real threat for the manufacturer lies: if anyone finds a way to prove it harms animals they *will* have a problem.
Paris, because she can make any noise she wants.
So according to the manufacturers, the teenagers need a reason to congregate.
How about just hanging out? I seem to recall I did a lot of pointless hanging around when I was younger.
I believe the issue is when "yougnsters" "hang out" on private property. Admittedly, I haven't followed the saga too much, but there are plenty of cases where I have read about specific groups of [insert here: teenagers/homeless/what-have-you] that have been politely asked to leave property and refused. The requests become less and less polite, until the police are called to manage the invasion of groups of people onto private property.
The issue becomes having to call the police every single time, most especially since these groups of individuals take quite a bit of offence to being shooed away. They tend to purposefully return to make their point, and it quickly escalates from "hanging out" to "stubbornly being a pain in the ass."
Depending on how badly the property owner wants these individuals off their land, the rousting and removal may become a regular occurrence, at which point the Police simply cease caring and refuse to help. Once this has happened, the landowner can try private security, but most likely doesn't have the funding for it. IN many cases I have seen things turn ugly and violent at this point.
Both parties know the police aren't going to respond to any more calls to this location, and so the group of individuals takes it upon themselves to exact a little retribution. Usually this in in the form of vandalism, though I know several people who have been assaulted to within inches of their lives.
It usually starts with a small business owner, say a mechanic or a convenience store owner who is afraid of vandalism or trouble from a gang of what to his eyes are bored individuals looking for trouble. A few bad choices on his part, stubbornness and a desire to "damn the man" from the gathered group of individuals as well as eventual (or immediate) apathy from law enforcement have the scenario typically end badly for one party or the other.
So what then? Something like the Mosquito? It's a little indiscriminate, but in the above situation might be seriously considered by the relevant small business owner. (It is probably a terrible idea, as it will immediately draw retribution, but that's another story entirely.)
Individuals have the right to gather on public property and loiter if that's what they choose to do. They don't have the same privileges on private property, which is where this whole fiasco usually comes to a head.
If any "groups of people" regardless of age, race, gender, ethnicity, employment status, or technological fanboydem chooses to gather in a public place then I would defend to the death their right to do so. When they make the choice to do so on private property and refuse to respect the rights of the property owners, then the whole situation becomes a lot fuzzier.
I would condemn the use of these devices as a first-use item, or even as a generic pro-active offensive weapon. I would not condemn their use against an entrenched group of individuals who have been warned several times but who simply refuse to comply with the private property laws of their jurisdiction. People have the right to gather in public places, but private property owners have a right to defend what is thiers.
So if not something like this device, what is the solution? I don't know, but I wish I did. I know a few people who would benefit from knwoing it too.
I used to do that...
..cheap banger of a motorbike, on old slagheaps.
Well the slagheaps are a rubbish tip now, and the local Plod will chase you on quads and crush the bike. Can't do that any more.
Used to take the old air rifle out as well, and terrorise the local can/bottle population. Try that these days and I'll be down for 28 days without charge.
Hang out in the middle of a park/field with music going and a bunch of mates? Sorry, no can do any more. You'll get your boom box confiscated under some illegal-rave law.
It's now pretty much impossible to do anything your average 16-18 year old would find "fun" that doesn't cost a boatload of money or isn't highly illegal and actively enforced against. Not trying to say that there aren't, and haven't always been, some nasty bastards out there. However, for hell's sake, give teens something to do (or at least let them make up their own fun) and they might not hang around outside shops getting rat-arsed for want of something better (and by better I don't mean 'more productive') to do.
Iss your point
but the problem comes when they're used in public spaces like town centres. Sound doesn't just stop at the barrier of private land so even if they aren't hanging around on private property, but only near it they're still being assaulted by it.
Should use a different frequency...
how about the Brown Note...?
That would be degrading...
The Brown Note is a myth...
... as Mythbusters demonstrated.
hate the things
I am 37 and can hear them and my autistic son goes bat shit when he hears them so much that I have to avoid most of my town center.
Not the only one
I'm 27 and I still can hear them too. It's nothing a MP3 player with noise cancellation headphones can't solve tho.
So how does the "Mosquito"
differ from the [ultra]sonic cat repellers then? A quick google turns up one that operates between 18kHz and 24kHz and is triggered by a motion detector.
And do the cat repellers infringe on Compound Security's patents or is it the other way round?
Ear defenders required, obviously
"a specific law that the technology breaks"
I wouldn't expect there to be "a specific law" against this but I would expect there to be some sort of general-purpose law against deliberately annoying people or making an unpleasant noise in a public place.
I mean, if they can ASBO people for having noisy sex ...
Bloody hell
This device should be throuroughly illegal, at least in a lot of circumstances it's used in. My local corner shop, right in the middle of a housing estate and with houses all around, manages to have this thing on 24 hours a day. It's RIGHT NEXT TO A SCHOOL, next to PEOPLE'S FUCKING HOUSES.
You may have an actual case there
The device should not be on 24h, and it doesn't perform as advertised (you can hear it) so it's the equivalent of a burglar alarm that cannot be switched off. If a judge would approve of that in a nuisance case he'd basically neuter the noisy sex ASBO (intentional pun).
I think you have a case there, which you can strengthen by checking if pets are affected. If so, the owner is actively interfering in your life, and *IS* committing a breach of the peace (AFAIK, IANAL and I suggest you get a sensible one).
Climb up, snip wires. Drill hole, insert water. Whatever.
Not that I'm actually suggesting you do such a thing, oh no.
However I'm wondering how long it would take before the shopkeeper notices anything different.
The one snag is that I'm actually still well within it's targeted age range.
but if you're over 20 you'll almost certainly not hear anything
Balls. I'm well past 30 and I can hear the sodding things just fine thanks.
Same here
Even 20 years of loud rock music doesn't seem to have affected my ability to hear these things.
Dang right
Up to my last physical at age 34 I had a cut-off at around 22Khz. I can still hear the older CRT TVs when the fire up. They would only work for me (apparently) at around 8Khz when I close my left ear... Thanks to standing next to a monitor at a Camel concert (am I showing my age here?)
Mine's the one with the earplugs in the pocket....
Should be banned
I'm 27 pushing 28, can hear these bloody things as clear as day.
They would never be tolerated if they targeted any other minority in society.
FYI they seem to be fairly common in Ireland, outside convenience stores and shopping centres.
"outside convenience stores "
So, with apologies to Gary Larson, they are now INconvenience stores?
The one with the vuvuzela, thanks
"Article 11 of ECHR provides a right to assemble with other people in a peaceful way. However, such assembly must be without violence or threat of violence ... we do not consider that this right includes the right of teenagers to congregate for no specific purpose,"
So, by default, any gathering of teenages equals the threat of violence, yet a purposeless gathering of "grown ups" would not?
Fuck off, Compound Security. If this device were targetting any other section of society, you would be shot down in flames (and quite rightly so), but children/young people are automatically seen as a threat to the rest of us. If we expect/assume that all young persons are going to act as thugs, then they probably will, and serve society right.
FWIW, I'm 32, and therefore beyond the range of these wretched devices.
I can hear 16khz
Just did a google search for some 16khz test sounds, and I can hear it.... I just hit 40 today, so I call bollocks on the theory that no one over 20 can hear it.
I don't think my hearing is perfect either, I have trouble hearing people against background noise, more so than most (estimated number) folks.
Range of test tones from around 11khz to 18khz.. I can hear them all.
Speakers used are pretty expensive Logitech THX certified, should be no problems with upto 20khz.
Works on me
I can hear sounds (although faint) in the 18-20kKHz range and I am 29. If I were to find one in my town centre; it would certainly get smashed to pieces.
95 dB
Shouldn't they be subject to noise regulations.
That's a dangerous volume for any significant amount of time. So anyone who works anywhere near one should get ear defenders etc.
Ban them
The security company are just talking shit to try and protect their income. Their stance suggests that any gathering of teenagers constitutes a "threat of violence". Bollocks, I used to hang around with my mates when I was younger just because we liked to be outside somewhere, not because we wanted to cause any particular disturbance.
These are just plain victimisation. And remember that even if you can't actually HEAR the tone, it's still vibrating your sodding ear drums, and at that volume level it will probably still cause hearing problems over an extended length of time. Think of it like a silent fart - just because you can't hear it doesn't mean that later on you won't end up choking on it...
Free to walk away?
"saying that anyone is free to walk away"
Are the people working in the shop 'free to walk away'?
Are the people working in other shops nearby 'free to walk away'?
Are the people living in nearby houses 'free to walk away'?
Are the infants and young children being dragged round by their parents 'free to walk away'?
Are the teenagers being dragged round by their parents 'free to walk away'? "Nonsense! I can't hear anything! Stop moaning!"
So people minding their own legal business on the public highway are 'free to walk away'?
Sonic weapons are sonic weapons. Sauce for the Goose is sauce for the Gander. If this thing is legal then so is a sonic weapon which is acceptable to teenagers but extremely offensive to adults. Anyone deploying one of these has *no right whatsoever* to complain if teenagers stand around with ghetto blasters pumping out the latest music craze at high volume.
Ban them immediately
A quick google search suggest that the average smoke detector blasts out its noise at 85 decibells. This is about 10 times as loud as that. There is no way you would be allowed to use a lower frequency alarm to chase away older people, so why should young people be treated any differently.
I'm 45 and I can hear the noise.
So if a business wants to lose my custom, please, go ahead and use them...
Up to 95dB for up to 20 minutes? WTF? Isn't this wandering into health issues, not to mention public nuisance? Isn't there a law limiting the length of time an unattended burglar alarm can sound for? How is this different? Does the frequency oscillate or is it fixed? That sort of power, that sort of time, fixed frequency - hearing damage, anyone?
If I was unfortunate enough to live near one of these things, I'd be inclined to lash together a high frequency detector (ummm, didn't Really Old TV remotes work like this?) to switch on a car horn. See how the bastards like THAT. Just 'cos *YOU* can't hear anything doesn't mean the rest of us are happy with the noise.
I can hear them
Just did an Internet sound test and as an over 40 I can hear them no problem!
I spend most of my life congregating for no specific purpose.
As an aside, an ex-gf's multi-story block had a sign: No Congregating In The Lobby. Out of the corner of my eye, it always looked to me like Consecrating. I used to imagine the caretaker regularly chasing away groups of bishops.
Can Bishops hear this machine, by the way?
Re. Bishops
"Can Bishops hear this machine, by the way?"
No, but you've just given him another use for catholic children..
The cassock, thanks.
Im 30
and can hear up to 17 khz, and my hearing is fucked thanks to rideing a motorbike. It sounds like nonsense, or old data, that over 20s can't hear it.
These things should be band, and if I ever hear one I am complaining to the local environmnetal health about the noise.
There's no apparent breach of H&S regulations because...
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 do not apply in this instance since the people affected are not at work. This is much the same as someone going to a club to hear a band - staff working at the venue should be provided with ear protection but punters, because they are not part of the workplace, are exempt. For the curious, the action levels in the workplace are as follows:
Exposure limit values and action values
4. —(1) The lower exposure action values are—
(a) a daily or weekly personal noise exposure of 80 dB (A-weighted); and
(b) a peak sound pressure of 135 dB (C-weighted).
(2) The upper exposure action values are—
(a) a daily or weekly personal noise exposure of 85 dB (A-weighted); and
(b) a peak sound pressure of 137 dB (C-weighted).
(3) The exposure limit values are—
(a) a daily or weekly personal noise exposure of 87 dB (A-weighted); and
(b) a peak sound pressure of 140 dB (C-weighted).
(4) Where the exposure of an employee to noise varies markedly from day to day, an employer may use weekly personal noise exposure in place of daily personal noise exposure for the purpose of compliance with these Regulations.
(5) In applying the exposure limit values in paragraph (3), but not in applying the lower and upper exposure action values in paragraphs (1) and (2), account shall be taken of the protection given to the employee by any personal hearing protectors provided by the employer in accordance with regulation 7(2).
Having said that, it's still bloody annoying - and I'm over 50 and can still perceive these frequencies (just). More annoying are those damned Zulu kazoos you can hear on the World Cup footie - it's ruined the game for me.
Seems to be a UK thing
I was originally thinking that something like this on a shop's private property would be justifiable, but now I realize that it is essentially blasting into the public spaces. In the US (outside of a few major cities), a convenience store would have a parking lot in front, so the sound would be attenuated by the time it reached the public sidewalk.
Plus, I agree that the company's statement about purposeless assemblies being not being a right is asinine.
Shouldn't a pair of noise-cancelling headphones work against this?
It is worse than that
In the UK, a typical convenience store looks something like this
Note how close the residential properties are to it. If there was a very loud alarm of some description above the door to that shop, people in the nearby houses are going to hear it, and they are not going to be able to get any sleep or do their homework etc.
Do you hear something, teacher?
When are the going to install them in classrooms?
I've already heard about students using this tone as a ring-tone on their phones when in a classroom.
...there is another method that has been proven (At least in the various articles I've read where it's been tried in the US.) to disperse young people hanging around shops and so forth. It's called playing classical music.
In the cases I've read about, playing classic music at a moderate volume outside of shops and the like where teenagers tended to congregate was sufficient to drive them off in search of another "cooler" location without risking anyone's hearing or putting off anyone who was there to do business.
Perhaps some of the places using this "mosquito" thing could try that instead?
Might lose other customers too..
This won't exclusively work on teenagers. Even those liking classical music will get annoyed because it's bound to be played through pathetic speakers that will mangle frequency and dynamic range, annoying anyone who knows what it *ought* to sound like..
Bizarrely, I think playing music is actually easier to act against, I think there are a few laws with respect to that. The device falls presently in a legal void, or that is at least what the manufacturer is trying to pretend. I'm not sold on that position.
BTW, I am starting to wonder if some people who state they can hear it aren't picking up case resonance instead..
Mosquito=Electronic Vigilante
Does The Register condone the Mosquito? In all the debate we have not heard about those most likely to be distressed or hurt by the device's use, babies and the very young whose hearing is the most acute and many of whom cannot tell us what it is that is distressing them. Nice one, Compound Security. Their call for a regulated framework for its use is so much hypocritical hogwash - what sort of people sell a device which they say should not be used unregulated? Their site is smug in its claims about how they are getting away with selling it. The advertising claims have included that it's for scaring away 'unwanted' teenagers? Who the hell do they think they are? The laws of this land permit people to congregate and to go about their lawful business without hindrance. The attitudes that underlie the use of this wretched device are all too prevalent in this country. Small-minded people who don't give a toss about whose rights they tread on so long as they have things the way they want them. One of the reasons kids stay indoors? Whining neighbours, I know, I confronted it with my 2 kids years back. The Council of Europe is the 'home' body for the European Convention, which is now part of our law through the HRA. So it may have an indirect effect. Time to kick this vermin into touch.
Best yet.
Travelling on the train the other day, in the quiet carriage, when some maroon gets on the mobile to whinge about being annoyed by these devices .
It woud be quite difficult to write legislation banning the use of the Mozzie without also banning the playing of any music (legally just audio frequencies, or not in the case of John Cage) such as the latest chart toppers blaring out of the mobes of yoofs in the areas in question.
While the hooded ratboys (and girls) think it's perfectly OK to inflict their choice of easy listening on the rest of us, it's fine by me for the shop owners to force their choice on them.
95 dB is twice as loud as 85 dB. It is ten times the power, but human hearing has a logarithmic response to power, and a ten-fold power increase in a sound roughly doubles the loudness. Doesn't make these things any less of a disgrace though. Mine's the anorak, naturally.
Underground stations
I believe this was tried successfully in the Newcastle Underground. Anyone know for sure?
The only people who won't hear these things..
..are idiot teens (and adults who used to be idiot teens) who blow their ears out with the iSomething turned up to full volume all day every day. I'm another one who can hear those Mosquito devices quite well enough, thanks a bundle, and I'm in my 30s. It sounds like a really loud CRT on the blink.
Now, playing Mozart at a more respectable volume? I could see that working. Who the hell would want to sit and get rat-arsed on cheap cider next to that poncey old fashioned shite eh?
Noise regulations?
"The box pumps out sound between 16-18kHz at a volume up to 95dB."
OK, so you can't ban a stereo or whatever because it's loud either, but the owners should be fined for breaking noise regulations every time they use it. Honestly, if "used as directed"... well, my local gas station has gang problems, they've had the police have to show up with a bullhorn anyway to break it up, so really running a noise generator to break them up would not be a big deal. But running it continually? Yeah.
I also wonder, what's wrong with these shops that run it 24/7? Do they really not want any business? I know for sure that I wouldn't go into a store that has annoying noise blasting out the front, and I must assume some youths and for sure some up to 40 year olds (or more..) spend money every once in a while.
As for the company wanting them licensed only to police etc.. well, I guess it saves the seller MAYBE from going out of business, but I can't imagine that'd be that big a market.
As for comparison to a cat repeller.. I think this is a good point actually, I wonder what the decibel level of those is?
There's legal and there's legal
Will someone explain to me how a device designed and marketed with the overt purpose of causing a public nuisance can somehow be deemed acceptable just because not everyone can hear it (or, to be more exact, because the only people who can hear it are young, and presumably therefore perceived as "antisocial")? I'd suggest anyone so inconvenienced should register a complaint under the Noise Abatement act. Were I remotely young enough to stand any chance of actually hearing one of these things in action, I know that I certainly would.

Need delish/nonsalmonella salad
- b
- berkleybabe Jul 7, 2001 01:51 PM
For daughter's baseball awards, I need to bring a salad to feed 8-12. Haven't been able to come up with a standout that's appealing to adults and kids, non mayo-based and not a fruit salad. Can the 'hounds offers some favorites of their own? I'd like our dish to be the representation of chowhound deliciousness.
Here are a couple of pasta salads I've been making for work parties lately - one is a Ravioli/Tomato salad from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone - basically cheese ravioli with basil and fresh tomatoes, olives and a oil/vinegar dressing.
The other I kind of threw together - cooked pasta (used orzo last time), roasted veggies (broccoli, green beans, red peppers), in a sun dried tomato dressing - optional fresh herbs, sun dried tomatoes, pine nuts.
Adults loved these - kids, kind of depends on how they feel about vegetables!
I have read that commercial mayonnaise is not a salmonella risk, as it is heated, and the acidity is controlled at the factory. Thus extraordinary precautions need not be taken to prevent food poisoning. (Ordinary precautions, yes)
If you decide to do a pasta or potato salad and it's going to be more than a few hours before serving, you might want to consider keeping the dressing separate, and mix it in at serving time.
re: ironmom
Good suggestions, however we are going to be literally eating on a baseball field--mixing last minute isn't really practical--good for picnic, however.
re: ironmom
Won't give you a salad recipe, but yes ALL commercial (vs.homemade) Mayonnaise is pasteurized plus acidity content (PH factor) high enough to actually prevent bacteria growth. Recommend to cut and prepare and refrigerate all ingredients a day ahead of time, plus, when using mayonnaise, should be also refrigerated. Mix all cold ingredients with cold utensils and refrigerate. When using a cooler, pre-cool this gadget also, with either ice or place whole, open cooler into chest freezer the day before, and yes, stop worrying too much.
re: Peter B. Wolf
We non-paranoic omnivores all know that commercially prepared mayo is a very safe product. The problem is that lots of other people either don't know or (more likely) don't believe that any mayo is safe if it's non-refridgerated for even a short period of time. Point is, they won't eat it, so why serve it?
re: Greg Spence
You make an excellent point, Greg. This is the common belief, and the dish would just go to waste.
When I took intro-level epidemiology classes many moons ago, one of the first cases was tracing food poisoning from a summer picnic. The majority of the class automatically blamed the mayonnaise, when in fact it had a protective effect. The unrefrigerated eggs, in this case, turned out to to be the culprit.
Why not a german style potato salad, with and oil and vinegar dressing instead of mayo? I grew up on the stuff and everyone (including kids) seems to love it. It's delicious and it's lots lighter than a mayo version. It's also at its' best at room temp or even a little warm. Let me know if you need a recipe, but tell me what you like. I've probably collected a couple of dozen versions over the years.
re: Greg Spence
German potato is an excellent suggestions! I'd forgotten I'd eaten it most of my childhood, too. If you would, please post one or two version of your favorites--I think we'll all be chowin' on spuds in the near future.
re: berkleybabe
Boil 5lbs red potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain, and while the potatoes are still very hot, pour over 1 to 1 1/4 cups of your favorite vinegarette (I like tarregon or cider vinegar and avocado or grapeseed oil, with dijon mustard, salt and pepper), adding up to 4t sugar if you want some sweetness in the salad. Adjust for salt and pepper. Now, just add what you want in 1/4" or smaller dice and about a cup at a time, whatever you like. I enjoy sweet onions (Texas 1015s, of course), celery, yellow or red bell pepper and bacon. I also use 3/4 cup of diced sweet pickle occasionally. Normally, we decorate with sliced, boiled egg but that doesn't sound like a good idea here.
If you're grilling something impressive at home, substitute 1/2 of the oil with truffle oil and 1/2 of the vinegar with truffled vinegar. Then add only onion, celery and bacon. Please let me know what you think of the recipe.
re: Greg Spence
Hey, Greg, I knew yours would be tasteeeee! Looks like a keeper. I like the idea of making the basic salad, then adding as the spirit moves. The truffle oil sounds decadent, maybe not for girl ballplayers. :)
re: Greg Spence
Sorry the last post lacked specificity. The kind I remember was sweet/sour with bacon pieces. As I recall the salad was made with russets, but redskins could be interesting. Give me what you particularly like--I know it'll be good.
How about cold chicken, taken off the bone in chunks(either poached or maybe better roast), corn, black beans, tomatoes in chunks (where can you get good ones this time of year?), oil & vinegar, and cumin. Salt and pepper of course. This should be served at room temperature, so it's ok for a ball field.
You figure out the quantities, although you do need a decent amount of both black beans (canned are ok, but rinse before using), tomatoes and corn so it's not predominantly a chicken salad.
As an alternative to cumin, which kids maybe won't dig, you could try commerical chili powder.
I got this out of a newspaper but no longer remember where or when.
re: hobokenhenry
I didn't even see your post when I responded. Sounds like the exact same recipe. I can't remember where I got it exactly, either, but it makes for a great cold salad.
Blue skies,
I was in the same situation last week - well, no baseball field, but the food was going to be sitting out for hours. Made an orzo/peas/mint "salad" that was pretty terrific, and a great way to use some of that mint that's taking over your garden.... I cribbed this from something from Martha Stewart Living - DON'T laugh!
2 C orzo
about 2/3 stick butter
3 or 4 shallots
1 lemon
2 C frozen peas
about 1 C fresh snow peas, sliced into 3 or 4 pieces
about 1/4 C fresh chopped mint
Cook the orzo and toss with a pat of butter or two so it doesn't stick. Sautee minced shallots and zest of the lemon in the rest of the butter until shallots are transucent. Add the frozen peas and snow peas and sautee until done. Mix in with the orzo and let cool to room temp. Stir in the mint, the juice of 1/2 the lemon, and salt and pepper.
Even the little kids were eating this like it was going out of style.
re: Shmingrid
I'm letting this recipe stand, because it's clearly paraphrased, but....
PLEASE PLEASE everyone: do NOT post copyrighted recipes to these boards (or ANYTHING copyrighted).
Either paraphrase the recipe in your own words, or find it on the web and link to it.
Many thanks for your cooperation with this.
This uses easy to find ingredients, and has been enjoyed by all whenever I've served it. Can be served cold or at room temperature.
Curried Rice Salad
Serves 6-8
1 pacakge chicken rice-a-roni, cooked according to directions and cooled.
1 small can chopped olives
the equivalent of the small can (or to taste):
chopped green onion and chopped green pepper (other colored peppers would make this a prettier salad)
small jar of marinated artichoke hearts, cut up (w/ marinade)
3/4 can un-marinated artichoke hearts, cut up (w/o can liquids)
1 tsp. curry powder, more or less according to your taste.
Wow! Simple question, great answers. Several options for the future, but Greg Spence's archetypal vinaigrette spud salad wins. I'm assuming this will be a hit. On-site evaluation will take place. I'll let you know how the 9 -15 year old group chow on this. Thanks all!
I know you've already gotten one curried rice salad as a suggestion. Here's a very different one my motherfound somewhere years ago:
Curried Rice Salad
1 cup white rice
2 cups chicken broth
2 tsp. curry powder
3 chopped scallions
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1 eleven ounce can mandarin oranges
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 Tbs. olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
Cook rice in chicken broth and curry.
When the rice is cool add scallions, peanuts and raisins.
Drain the oranges and add them to the mix.
Make a dressing of the lemon and olive oil, with some extra curry. Toss the dressing with the mixture immediately before serving.
re: Deven Black
Thanks, Devon. Looks sophisticated in taste, easy in prep--wonderful combo! I'll try it this summer--looks like it could be the center of a very nice, light supper or lunch.
re: berkleybabe
I hope you enjoy it! My mother served it as the main dish of a light supper, as a side dish, or as part of a summer party buffet, which is mainly how I've used it.
How 'bout this:
Chicken, black bean, corn, and tomato salad
3/4lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, poached/grilled
1 15oz can black beans
several plum tomatoes, diced
1 cup corn (I usually just chop it off a leftover cooked ear)
1T olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2t dried oregano
1 1/2 t cumin
2T sherry
1/2t salt (I usually use a little more)
1/2c green onions, chopped
1/4c chopped fresh parsley
Drain and rinse the black beans, and combined with diced chicken breasts, tomatoes, and corn. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium and add garlic. Saute briefly, and add oregano and cumin. Stir till fragrant. Remove from heat and add sherry and salt. Pour over the salad and add scallions and parsley. Toss gently, cover, and refrigerate.
It's best if you let it marinate itself for at least a couple hours before serving. Play around with quantities of the corn, chicken, tomatoes, etc. The dish is easily "beefed up" with more chicken to make it a heartier meal. I love tomatoes, so I usually use LOTS.
You can use frozen corn, thawed, but the flavor is sooo much better with grilled white corn. Very tasty stuff.
Oh, and I prefer seasoning and grilling or sauteeing the chicken instead of poaching it -- it adds a whole lot more flavor.
Blue skies,
re: Catherine
Thanks -this is a keeper! Great for summer and easy to throw together.

Magnesium issues
Updated November 27, 2014 at 4:09 AM
Created March 31, 2013 at 1:15 AM
Hi all I have been attempting to take this Magnesium supplement (http://www.drrons.com/mag-max-magnesium-supplement.html) I have only ever taken 1 and I took it with dinner and every time it either makes me itchy, or I get REALLY anxious and I am not sure if I get anxious because Im itchy!?! Anyway I do fine with Epsom Salt baths. I have bought some Ancient Minerals trans-dermal but Haven't tried using it yet since I cant get past the issue with this magnesium. I know I am deficient. Any thoughts?
Did you start with just 1 capsule a day? Have you tried transdermal ? I need to take it I just hate the itch! How do you deal with that?

I've been using the same thing, it has cleared up some acne on my body just great. However, it made it worse at first. I also have noticed that itchy feeling all over.
Did you start with just 1 capsule a day? Have you tried transdermal ? I need to take it I just hate the itch! How do you deal with that?
Mg wont work if you are dehydrated. You can check this via your BUN/ Creat ration on a metabolic profile. The paleo diet acts to dehydrate you so taking more Mg does nothing until you add non fluoridated water to lower your BUN creat ratio below 10:1. 7:1 is optimal. The reason for this is magnesium is hydrophilic and it can not work on the 60 enzymes it does when there is no coherent intracellular water present. I covered this in this blog: http://www.jackkruse.com/emf-rx-the-top-ten-emf-faqs/ but I really covered it in some detail in the EMF Rx webinar of March 2013. http://www.jackkruse.com/march-webinar-the-emf-rx/
I've only ever gotten the same anxious feeling from taking 200mg or more of magnesium glycinate at once. You might try getting mag glycinate in 100mg tablets and if you have the reaction, you can just take half of one. You might be reacting to the B6 in that, but it's hard to say.
