Many Icom radios can use a CT-17 CI-V level converter to connect up tp 4 radios to a PC for PC controll of those radios. This lead is the one that connects the CT-17 to the radio. It is also used by some Icom models (IC-9100 springs to mind) as a cloning lead for copying data from one radio to another.
Before you start have you got a 3.5mm mono or stereo to 3.5mm mono or stereo jack plug intrerconnecting lead? (mono to mono is preferred but stereo to stereo will work, don't try a stereo to mono lead though as it may short out the required signals). If so you can use that. If not read on and make this really easy-to-make lead.
Assemble as shown diagrammatically below. Use the shield of the cable (if shielded) for the outer (Black) connection and don't forget to put the covers of the jack plugs on the cable before soldering (I've forgotten too many times myself)!
There, I told you it was easy didn't I?

Fake butter at restaurants
- gmm Dec 29, 2011 07:16 AM
Went to a steakhouse last night with family for dinner. It's a fairly large nationwide chain, but they have pretty decent food. I ordered a baked potato with butter as a side. After receiving my food, I tasted the potato and realized that the whipped "butter" was not actual butter, but a butter flavored spread. I love butter, and I can recognize the difference between the real stuff and a fake. Honestly, I think this is probably the first time I've ever gotten a baked potato with the fake stuff on it. It annoys me enough when something is advertised as crab, when it's actually "krab," but now am I going to have start asking if I'm getting real butter or "butter spread?" Is this something more and more restaurants are starting to do? Am I going to have to start carrying a stick of butter in my purse? :)
having been in many commercial kitchens, what you experienced is quit common nowadays, especially considering the rise in the cost of butter....however, the practice of using whipped butter has been a staple standard operating procedure for many years....it simply melts easier .
My suggestion is to simply ask for the *real butter* on the side. For the record, there is a product made for the restaurant industry that is known as a butter blend. I find it is a good substitute for the real thing. One example is James Farm Buttery Blend.
re: fourunder
fourunder, margarine and fake food are never acceptable.
re: sandylc
margarine.....how about if you like buffalo wings
re: fourunder
what's your point?
re: sandylc
the recipe calls for margarine.
re: fourunder
I use butter, and they taste better for it.
re: Sommelier
thanks for sharing...
re: fourunder
Curious where you got that information, fourunder. It's my understanding that the first appearance of a printed recipe for Buffalo wings was in a 1981 New York Times article by Craig Claiborne. That recipe calls for butter.
re: JoanN
The original Anchor Bar recipe calls for margarine. It's been modified by many over the years to include butter. I've seen shows featuring the place and they clearly indicate margarine is proper for their recipe.
re: fourunder
Curious who "they" is. Even the Belissimo's, the original owners of the restaurant, disagree on the circumstances of the first serving of the wings. Take a look at this article by Calvin Trillin from 1980 http://www.newyorker.com/archive/1980... (this, by the way, is what inspired the Craig Claiborne article). No mention of either butter or margarine. And none of the Belissimo's ever published a recipe. Maybe Teressa used margarine; maybe she used butter; maybe she used neither and just put hot sauce on the wings. No one knows for sure.
re: fourunder
Oh! Well, many old or even current recipes call for shortening or margarine - I can guarantee you that you can use butter instead and get better results!
re: sandylc
The advice should be that if you are unwilling to compromise on ingredients then avoid large national chains. A "butter substitute is never acceptable" attitude is lost on a corporation that is seeking to shave pennies off a serving (multiplied by hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of servings).
re: ferret
You are pointing out the greater problem!!
re: ferret
Absolutely right.
Which is why we do not eat out, because you can never tell when margarine's been added to baked/cooked goods, or what's been microwaved, or God knows what else . . .
re: JReichert
A sad state of affairs.
re: ferret
re: fourunder
I have no problem with whipped butter, as long as it's actually butter. I suspect the stuff I had was a butter blend, because initially, it did taste like butter, but then there was the margarine aftertaste. Sure, use it if you feel you must, but call it "butter topping" or "butter spread" and I'll know not to order it.
It may well be something "fairly large nationwide chain's" are doing - and I'd be pretty surprised that they all haven't been doing it.
When I order lobster or a baked potato or anything else requiring butter in a restaurant, I say something like "I don't mean to be obnoxious, but please make it real butter, because I don't like the substitutes." Only once has this been a problem, when it turns out they literally had no real butter. Never been back :P
Along the same lines, I despise "whipped topping" like this
Seems like many joints use this on their desserts and specialty coffees.
re: porker
There may be an underlying reason why this product is used...besides the fact it holds it structure better.....I believe non-dairy products like this are Kosher Parve....is that the correct phrase?
re: fourunder
Theres plenty reasons why its used - shelf life (frozen), non-dairy, and cost. I just don't like it advertised as whipped cream. Not only that, but many servers simply assume its cream and describe it as such. We once had a bartender pull it out of the fridge and describe it as the "best quality whipped cream there is". He was surprised when we pointed out it wasn't cream.
re: porker
but people who are lactose intolerant are thrilled that such a product exists :)
We just want the menu to state the truth.
re: porker
Deer God. It's HFCS, oil, an emulsifier & gum.
re: AsperGirl
Dear Lord. All I'm saying is don't call it whipped cream. Maybe call it whipped topping, or cream whip, maybe wheam crip, whatever, but don't call it whipped cream for crissakes.....
You order a crabcake only to find its made with surimi, you ask the waiter whats up, its imitation crab. The waiter says "Dear God. Its fish and stuff. Pollack, sugar, sorbitol, tapioca starch, egg whites, soybean oil, natural and artificial flavorings, caramel, paprika, and annatto extract."
re: porker
I absolutely agree.
re: Sommelier
Do you go back and complain when the kitchen uses vegetable oil instead of olive oil in preparing your meal as well?
re: fourunder
FWIW, I worked for a large, national steak chain a few years ago, and they use a butter/margarine blend, both because it's cheaper and it spreads easier, and I suspect is slower to spoil on the line. But you should always ask if a place uses real butter and if not, they can usually get you real butter on the side in foil packets, that's what we did when customers requested it (who thought/knew to do so). FYI that blend is also on your steak, they're finished with it when they come off the grill - ask for no juice/sauce if you don't want it on your steak.
re: rockandroller1
We pretty much stopped going to chains many years ago. There are so many independent restaurants run by real people who do a much better job and deserve our business - a win/win in my book.
re: sandylc
Oh totally, but sometimes you don't have a choice.
re: rockandroller1
re: rockandroller1
You always have a choice. Even if you're an invited guest there are responsible choices that can be made. I got suckered into a meal at TGIFridays (not by choice) and I had them prepare an entree-size portion of steamed vegetables (I'm not a vegetarian by any measure, I'm just suspicious of proteins from these places) and it was pretty darn good. I'm generally not a big broccoli fan but the stuff they served was cooked perfectly.
re: ferret
The real problem here is that so many people think that TGIF's food is so delicious! I do remember many years ago that I loved Friday's - late 70s, I think. I was probably less discriminating then, but they also probably used fresher/more real food.
I foolishly tried them a few years ago, feeling nostalgic about good times there long ago. OMG, it was inedible! We couldn't believe that people willingly eat that stuff!!!!!!
re: sandylc
They were nearly full when I went (including a party of about 30 that arrived while I was there). I allow myself an occasional crappy meal, most often when traveling through the Newark Airport with its dominant Chili's presence. The sad thing is that even their cocktails suck.
re: ferret
I was recently on a shopping trip with Mrs Porker in Burlington VT. I decided to sit at the bar in the mall's Applebees to wait for the wife. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT, the place was full. I don't mean full like busy-full, but line-out-the-door-30-minute-wait-full. There was a single stool available at the bar which I snagged. Applebees for crissakes? And Burlington has some good food....I think it has a lot to do with advertising.
Sad is all.
re: porker
Sad is the two-story Olive Garden in Times Square - always busy, the Red Lobster just down the street and the Applebee's around the corner from there. Really? One of the great food cities, with more than decent hot dogs and falafel pizza everywhere (just using those as examples because they are dirt cheap, so it can't be a cost issue) and people long for chain restaurant food?
re: ferret
the tourists chowing all-u-can-eat breadstix at olive garden in times square are the same ones who eat at mcdonald's when they are in paris. they like the familiar. being away from home is exotic enough for them.
re: ferret
I think it's less a longing for chain restaurant food and more a fear of the unfamiliar. Perhaps it is your first trip to New York. Times Square is pretty overwhelming, what with all the flashing lights and the loud noises and the thick crowds. And good lord, everything's so expensive! I can forgive the risk-averse choosing something they know they'll probably be at least okay with. (This also explains why Mamma Mia is still playing.)
Meanwhile, my neighbors on the Lower East Side haven't stopped bitching about the Subway that opened down here a while back, and don't get them started on the impending invasion of a Papa John's.
"Went to a steakhouse last night with family for dinner. It's a fairly large nationwide chain"
this is where ya lost me. nationwide chains need unit to unit consistency and watch every penny on every item. if it's a moderate priced place, they will do whatever it takes to cut costs.
living in boston, we simply don't have the real estate available for large chains to be cluttering the landscape, so i can't remember the last time i ate in one. if that was my meal option, i'd expect to be disappointed. are there really no independent operators where you live? small business owners you could support, instead of tossing money at a faceless corporate entity?
the number of replies from those having had fake butter and fake whipped cream and goodness what else just makes me sad.
re: hotoynoodle
The number of replies does not bother me. Its big business sad state of affairs which saddens me, I remember a spoof a few years back on a cookie company boardroom. This one guy gets an epiphany and says something like "I've got an idea: why don't we use fresh wholesome ingredients, no preservatives, bake our cookies in small batches, and deliver them fresh?!". He's laughed out of the boardroom and kisses his career goodbye.
You're right, big corporations feel the pressure to pinch every possible penny and will do whatever it takes to cut costs.
Why use relatively expensive butter when you can get away with this other stuff.
Cane sugar? Old fashioned and expensive - use HFCS instead.
Stock eggs? Naw, they can spoil, plus their volume takes up too much space in the walk-in. This stuff out of a carton lasts a lot longer and is more space efficient - It can save the corporation $1,563,235.89/yr in direct costs and $2,738,665.32/yr in in-direct costs. Bottom line is a .3% increase in our Class A shares by changing from fresh eggs to Egzz-Fresh.
re: porker
it doesn't bother you that a wide swath of america thinks this is what food "is"?
i have worked in fine-dining restaurants all my adult life. yes, i am spoiled and perhaps my expectations too high. but that crap is not food. it comes from a lab.
re: hotoynoodle
Based on replies to this thread, no it doesn't bother me. Put this way however, "a wide swath of america thinks this is what food "is"? " well yeah, thats sad. Along the same lines as so many people thinking Applebees/Olive Garden/Red Lobster is the pinnacle of American/Italian/seafood cuisine.
re: porker
the more people who succumb to the swan song of all-u-can-eat-breadstix, means that many fewer people are supporting independent operators, making it harder for them to stay in business. it's the malling of america and a big reason i would not re-locate elsewhere.
in most cases they have only themselves to blame when faced with fake butter and "whipped topping."
I always ask for a dish of cold 'pats' of butter on ice on the side. If the waiter comes back with anything other than 'cold pats of butter on ice' I send it back and leave. Any descent restaurant that can't serve actual butter pats on ice doesn't deserve my patronage.....or yours.
re: Puffin3
didn't restaurants stop serving pats of butter on ice, like, in the 60's? around the time tomato juice came off the appetizer menus?
jeebus, i have had a 20-year career in fine dining and never worked in a place that served butter that way. how can you spread it when it's ice cold?
re: Puffin3
Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or serious with this cold pats of butter on ice thing. Nothing I hate more than cold hard butter. I'll take the foil wrapped packs of butter and warm them up in my hands just so it's spreadable. What do you gain by having ice cold butter?
re: Rick
The reason the butter comes in little 'pats' is because when it gets to your table it will soften quickly. Usually the customer takes a few 'pats' off the ice and places them on the side of their bread plate. (Which in 'fine dining' restaurants are always at room temperature at least) and within a minute or so the butter is soft enough to spread. The 'pats' are only about 1/4" thick. The restaurant industry figured this out decades ago. And yes there are restaurants all over the world which serve butter this way with the bread course. BTW in most decent restaurants 'pats' of very cold butter are used to 'finish' many sauces. You ought know that having worked in kitchens for twenty years.
re: Puffin3
So why the need for pats of butter on ice if the end goal is to get the butter soft enough to spread? Why not just pats of butter on a plate sans ice?
re: Rick
Because most commercial kitchens are HOT and unless the butter is kept in a walk-in then rushed to the pass just before the server takes the dish the butter will melt. Ever seen an entré sit on the pass for five-ten minutes? The main reason butter substitutes were created was to prevent what restaurants are calling butter from melting by the time the customer gets his 'pats' not to mention the cost saving. Also when sauces are mounted with cold butter line cooks never have to measure out cold butter. The sauce may need four pats or whatever and with 'pats' the quantity is always precise. Whipped butter is popular because the customer is buying part butter and part air.
re: Puffin3
For someone who doesn't eat in restaurants you seem to have quite the feel for how restaurants "all over the world operate." I eat out plenty (couple of times a week) and this would be a strong exception to how butter is normally served these days.
re: ferret
Because I have actually dined at restaurants "all over the world". You are right. I do not eat in any restaurants anymore. I've lived for extended periods in many countries....mostly around the Med. I love how so may people have a 'romantic' image of 'the perfect Tuscan restaurant' for instance. It's all a fantasy folks. The restaurant staff in virtually every restaurant in the world are NOT J. Pepin's cousins. They are plain ordinary people who ride to work on the bus just like you and go to work in EXTREMELY hot fly blown cramped kitchens who just want to 'get the day in'. When they get pi888ed off they will but anything on the plate.
re: Puffin3
Actually, in my experience "fine dining" restaurants don't serve butter pats at all, they tend to serve small dishes or bowls of butter, or several good-sized chunks on a small plate, lightly chilled but not hard-refrigerated. Butter pats to me are a mark of diners and other mass-market eateries.
re: BobB
I've eaten in some pretty high end restaurants that serve small 'pats' of real butter (unwrapped) in a glass/silver bowl with crushed ice underneath accompanying the bread.
I'm curious to have you describe what "good sized chunks" look like. Are the "chunks" random pieces cut from a cold brick of butter? Are they all uniform in size?
re: Puffin3
By "pats" I was referring to the little prefab food service industry squares sandwiched between paper and cardboard.
Certainly there's nothing wrong with small pats of good quality butter per se. I've also been served larger pieces (squares or discs cut from a block) that I referred to as "good sized chunks."
It should be illegal to call something butter when it isn't. I recently ate at a restaurant that served "garlic butter" which in fact contained no butter. Would it be ok to serve a dish called "Grilled Salmon" and then serve Tilapia which is dyed pink?

Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun, right, talks to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers during a spring training baseball workout Wednesday, Feb. 29, 2012, in Phoenix. (AP Photo/Morry Gash)
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he was "shocked" when his friend Ryan Braun admitted he violated baseball's rules against using performance-enhancing substances.
Rodgers says the Milwaukee Brewers slugger "looked me in the eye" and it "didn't feel great being lied to like that." He says he's disappointed.
Braun has accepted a season-ending 65-game suspension. He and Rodgers are friends, and a Milwaukee restaurant is named after the Wisconsin stars. Rodgers defended Braun on Twitter last year, saying he would bet his salary that his friend was clean.
On Friday at training camp, Rodgers says he was simply "backing up a friend" then. Rodgers says they've spoken since Braun's admission.
Rodgers also says he "believes in forgiveness" and moving forward, though Braun has a tough task ahead of him.

Darren Aronofsky's Biblical epic knocks "Divergent" from top spot. Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Sabotage" tanks
The Biblical epic "Noah" rode a tide of controversy to a $44 million opening, sailing past "Divergent" and into the top spot at the domestic box office this weekend.
Darren Aronofsky's adaptation of the Old Testament tale surged on Saturday and finished well ahead of expectations that had been tempered by months of negative buzz — mainly from church groups wary of the "Black Swan" director's edgy style and reports that the film strayed too far from Scripture. Distributor Paramount, which backed the film with New Regency, even added a statement at the beginning of the movie noting that it was a dramatic interpretation.
The surprising showing by "Noah" overshadowed a strong performance by Lionsgate's young-adult sci-fi tale "Divergent." The adventure tale starring Shailene Woodley and Theo James finished second with $27.7 million, just a 49 percent drop from its big opening last weekend, and will cross the $100 million mark in the next day or two.
Also read: 'Noah' Reviews: Is Darren Aronofsky's Biblical Vision Divine or Dumb?
The weekend's only other wide opener, the Arnold Schwarzenegger action film "Sabotage," tanked and wound up in seventh place with $5.3 million. That's the worst opening for the former California governor since he returned to the big screen, behind the debuts of last year's "Escape Plan" ($9.2 million) and "The Last Stand" ($6.2 million).
"Noah" is the biggest opening ever as a leading man for Russell Crowe, who played the ark builder, ahead of "Robin Hood" ($36 million in 2008) and "Gladiator" ($34.8 million in 2000). And it's by far the biggest opening for Aronofsky, who co-wrote the script with Ari Handel, and has never directed a film with a budget anywhere near the $125 million that "Noah" cost to make.
The PG-13-rated "Noah" sailed past pre-release projections, which were in the $35 million range. But the poor "C" CinemaScore that it was given by first-night audiences — 74 percent over the age of 25 and equally split between men and women — demonstrated its polarizing nature. About 63 percent gave it an "A" or "B," 23 percent gave it a "C" and 14 percent gave it a "D" or "F."

The critics have been more positive (76 percent on Rotten Tomatoes) on the saga, which co-stars Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Ray Winstone and Anthony Hopkins.
In addition to overcoming criticism from religious groups, Aronofsky and the studio sparred over "Noah." It was banned in several Middle Eastern countries and the VFX firm that did the effects work lost a bunch of money.
But while the controversy certainly raised awareness, that wasn't the whole story, according to Paramount's head of distribution Don Harris.

"This movie was always meant to be provocative, and it was, but this really was a spectacular piece of filmmaking and that's what really made it work," Harris told TheWrap.
The Biblical epic got a big boost from its 341 Imax locations, which delivered $6.2 million, or 14 percent of its gross. Eight of the top ten theaters for "Noah" were Imax.
"Noah" is making a splash overseas, where it is available in 3D. It posted the best opening ever for a non-sequel in Russia with $17.2 million, and took in $33.6 million from 22 markets this weekend to raises its foreign total to $51 million in two weeks.
Two kids movies battled for third place. "The Muppets Most Wanted," back for its second week, beat out DreamWorks Animation's "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," which is in its fourth week.
Disney's "Muppets" sequel was off just 31 percent from its opening weekend and could hit $11.7 million to raise its domestic total to $33.5 million. "Peabody" will cross $100 million domestically some time this week, after holding strongly to bring in $9.5 million, just 19 percent down from last weekend.
Three movies that were in limited release went wide with varying degrees of success.

Fox Searchlight added 673 theaters for Wes Anderson's R-rated ensemble comedy "Grand Budapest Hotel" and it brought in $8.8 million from 977 sites to finish fifth. That's a 30 percent gain from last week and its domestic haul is up to $24 million after a month in release.
"Grand Budapest" averaged roughly $9,000 per screen, and for the first time wasn't the film with the highest gross per theaters. That went to "Noah," which averaged $12,430 on 3,567 screens.
Also read: 'Frozen' Biggest Animated Film Ever at Worldwide Box Office
"God's Not Dead," Freestyle Releasing's low-budget drama targeting the faith-based crowd, brought in $8.2 million after expanding into 1 ,164 theaters for its second weekend. That's just an 11 percent drop from last week, and it's taken in more than $21 million in two weeks.
"Bad Words," the dark, R-rated comedy about a guy crashing a kids spelling bee that was directed by and stars Jason Bateman, couldn't crack the top ten. It took in $2.7 million after Focus Features added 755 theaters in its third week.
Warner Bros.' sword-and-sandals sequel, "300: Rise of an Empire," passed the $100 million mark and finished ninth with $4.3 million. That was just behind Disney's hot-car video game adaptation "Need for Speed" and just ahead of Universal's Liam Neeson thriller "Non-Stop," which raised its domestic total to $85 million with $4 million over the three days.
"Cesar Chavez,"the biopic about the iconic labor leader from Pantelion Films and Participant Media, opened to $3 million from 664 theaters. That's a decent $4,518 per screen average, but it's clear the drama isn't going to match the breakout success of "Instructions Not Included," last year's Pantelion family comedy that became the highest-grossing Spanish-language film ever in the U.S. with $44 million.

Recently, the full and part-time staff of The Boys and Girls Club participated in a training facilitated by PYD's National Center entitled, "Expanding Access and Inclusion of Youth with Disabilities." The team engaged in interactive team exercises to learn the definition of inclusion, information about the ADA and ADA Amendments Act, disability statistics, and inclusive communication strategies (including person first language). Many staff reported that as a result of this training, they will begin using person first language and be more committed to inclusion.
"The Boys & Girls Club of Assabet Valley is a community center that is constantly searching of ways to successfully support our youth. I am so thankful that we are able to collaborate with Partners in Youth with Disabilities to continue to learn how to effectively include all youth in our programs. Our entire staff is looking forward to learning more about what inclusion truly is and how our staff and members will be able to help end the barriers to inclusion."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I think this school does an awesome job in educating the students. Kindergarteners are able to do things that 3rd graders at other schools can't do. The have a great choice of clubs led by teachers. They offer tutoring. Teachers work hard to help the students not only meet their goals but understand the value of meeting them. The teachers find innovative ways of educating the students. They are always striving to do better and better.
I personally believe that the school does a marvelous job at educating the students. As a trained instructor for the U.S. Navy I learned that students reach their capacity in learning at about 50-55 minuets and then need a little break. Also I believe that all students should be treated the same, this includes the staff and teachers. Respect should go both ways. I feel that the extra curricular activities are very good and beneficial to the students and their families.
The Sonoran Science Academy is academically very good, but the extracurricular activities like P.E, Arts, Music are not upto the standard and also the staff kids doesn't have the same rules like others kids. Like they can use microwave to heat their lunch and in the morning they do not have to wait outside till the bell rings. Hope they will correct these things in future.
I am really lucky to go to this school because all aspects of this school are really good. The teachers are good, the environment, education, everything is good about it! 9th grade SSA Student, class of 2012 or 2013, depending.
I am very gratefull to Sonoran Science Academy for their outstanding dedication to their students. The Math program in Middle school is the best in Arizona.
When my child first started attending this school she was excelling academically. Kindergarten and first grade teachers encourage the children to excel and communicate well with parents. After that they expect the children to function as adults. The teachers give so much homework and put a lot of the grade on things that the parent not the child is doing, like how papers are typed. My child is getting burned out and loosing interest in school. When I look at my friends kids that go to public schools they are learning the same information but with out the homework. I think that the teachers are not focusing on the child as a whole. I am hoping my child can finish the school year with out to much more damage being done to her spirit.
Very Academic oriented School and also they have variety of extracurricular activities after school
They have a great Math program. they keep getting the first place awards at MATHCOUNTS for several years at the state level. This school has been serving the best MATH education in all ARIZONA. There is no school can beat them at the math competitions. They are MATH monsters...
Despite small glitches along the way, this school really tries hard and cares about doing the best for every kid. My kids are happy and flourishing in this environment. I feel confident that they will benefit throughout life from attending this school. The extras this school offers are unique and as individual as this school is. The teachers are dedicated and it shows in the success of the students.
We love this school! We had a very bad experience with another charter school so I was apprehensive in sending the kids to another one. We have been pleasantly surprised at SSA. The kids are challenged and love the after school clubs. My older daughter is in volleyball and they won the championship this year! The school has a wonderful atmosphere where the students, parents and staff are polite and respectful.
The Teachers are available for tutoring and this is extremely helpful for my child. Thank you all for you dedication to the students learning experience!
This is our first year at the Sonoran Science Academy and we are delighted with the commitment to excellence this wonderfull learning community has. Our son's teachers are experts in their fields, encourage creative thought, offer extra help after school if needed and are dedicated to student success.
SSA provides students with a well rounded education in the core academics and in the fine arts. The administration is supportive and receptive to new ideas. Our school is a 'family'. We care about each other and especially our students so they are successful in their academics, and extra-curriculars in preparation for their future. We provide a safe learning environment which enables students to grow and excel in a well rounded educational setting, knowing their teachers care. SSA students are brilliant, creative and respectful.
I love Sonoran Science Academy because this school is very successful and the teachers are like the best that you can every get!
Amazing school, values Education, Great Teachers, Great tutoring Programs, and wants whats best for our Children. Would send all my children there.
It is the best school in southern Az. Teachers will go above and beyond to help students learn. Very dedicated and well educated teachers that specialized in the subjects that they teach. Overall, very satisfied parent and happy to have kids in this school
has highly intelligent teachers
The teachers seem to love what they are doing instead of just doing a job. Kids are here for education not to party etc. so everyone has goals for the future. Good staff, good teachers, good parents, good kids, makes for a happy face.
Exceptional math and science program. High academic expectations. Love this school.
They challenge our son to work harder and learn more than any public school could. He will be better prepared for college and beyond with the skills he develops at Sonoran Science Academy.

You touched on most of them yourself.
I'd certainly replace your weapon with Rimefang's Claw if you have it and upgrade your bracers as soon as you can.
The things of note that I see, that I might suggest is:
1. Lose the +STR & +STA gems. If you want the socket bonus, go with +EXP & +STA. I know your at 26, but going over does not hurt you.
2. Make sure you put some kind of enchant on the gloves. And as you mentioned, put the +30 STA gems in all your gear when you can.
3. Upgrade you belt, the Frost belt is very tasty if you have the emblems. I think there is also a belt that drops from one of the 5mans that would also be better till you can get that one.
Overall your looking pretty good, I run with the same spec and have cleared both 10 & 25man ICC with little issues, although I'm better geared. If you find you are having issues, then by all means go with a survivability build.

Assembly Bill 1162 requires college boards to adopt policies that best serve the needs of students when negotiating contracts with financial institutions to disburse financial aid via debit cards.
As college and university budgets have shrunk, many institutions have begun to use third-party servicers to disburse financial aid and issue refunds.
While many schools obtain revenue and reduce costs by outsourcing these services, the relationships between schools and financial institutions have raised questions because students end up bearing some costs directly.
In May 2012, the U.S. Public Interest Research Group released a report -- "The Campus Debit Card Trap: Are Bank Partnerships Fair to Students?" -- exposing companies and colleges engaging in this practice.
"Colleges must set in place regulations for campus debit card programs to ensure that students are not unfairly targeted," Frazier said in a press release. "In my book, charging our college students high fees for using their financial aid is a predatory practice that needs to be reformed."
Frazier's attempt to protect students and has gained national recognition and support from Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez.
"I applaud Assemblymember Frazier for examining this important issue," Miller said in a press release.
"Congress and the states must do everything in their power to ensure banks play by the same rules on campus as they do off campus, and that schools enter any deals with financial institutions with their students' best interest in mind."
AB 1162 was approved by the Assembly Higher Education Committee on a 9-3 vote and will be heard by the Assembly Appropriations Committee in May.
To contact Frazier, visit his website at www.asmdc.org/members/a11/ or call his district offices at 399-3011 or (925)778-5790, or his Capitol office at (916) 319-2011.

Kidz Bop Kids
About this title: The first Kidz Bop Halloween collection since 2004's Kidz Bop Halloween, Kidz Bop Halloween Party reprises some songs from the previous spooky set and adds some new ones. It's not surprising or disappointing that tracks like "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?", "Purple People Eater" and that ultimate staple of Halloween mixes, "Monster Mash" appear on both collections, but the addition of songs such as "Thriller," "Disturbia" and "A Nightmare on My Street" give Kidz Bop Halloween Party more of a pop slant that may appeal to older ...

NAYPYIDAW, Myanmar (AP) -- Concerns over China's aggressive behavior in the South China Sea top the agenda in the first regional summit hosted by Myanmar, which is hoping to demonstrate the progress it's made since emerging from a half-century of brutal military rule.
A standoff between Chinese and Vietnamese ships near the Paracel Islands is putting a fresh spotlight on long-standing and bitter maritime disputes.
The stakes are high -- it's one of the world's most important shipping lanes -- but some members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are wary of upsetting the regional powerhouse.
Leaders are also expected Sunday to discuss tensions on the Korean Peninsula and Thailand's political crisis.
This is the first time Myanmar is hosting a summit of regional leaders since it joined the 10-member bloc in 1997.

Photos and Description of this 3 bedroom holiday villa in Paros - Villa Drios
Paros is an idea destination for those looking to truly get away from it all. This small island in Greece's Cyclades Islands has a mere 12,000 residents living in its quaint, traditional villages, and as you stroll through the zigzag of their cobbled streets or lounge by one of the island's many beaches, you'll notice that life moves at a more leisurely pace. This villa is ideal for savoring the island's relaxed pace, with a stunning pool surrounded by a large stone terrace with outdoor dining areas and views that stretch for miles. Many of the bedrooms in this villa can only be accessed externally, so this is a good choice for guests who want additional privacy.
This villa is built in a typical Cycladic style, and has three levels. There is a large, shaded terrace and a pergola – both constructed in stone - surrounding the main floor. The bean-shaped private pool has nearby sunbeds and loungers, and there are also hammocks for enjoying the island's weather. There are spectacular views of the island and the sea from the villa's outdoor areas.
Main house Ground floor: There is a living room with a sitting area. The dining room has a table and chairs and is decorated with contemporary artwork. The open plan kitchen has a bar area, and is equipped with a dishwasher and microwave. There is one bedroom on this floor that is only accessed externally, with twin beds (90 cm) that can be joined together to form a double bed, upon prior request. First floor: This floor has a master bedroom with a queen size bed (160 cm) and an ensuite bathroom with a toilet, shower, and sink. There is also access to a veranda with great views. Lower floor: Accessed externally only, bedroom with a queen size bed (160) and ensuite bathroom with a toilet, shower, and sink. Studio There is a smaller stone studio on the pool level, with a sofa bed that converts into narrow twin beds (80 cm) most comfortable for a young person, and a bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet.
Please Note: Transfer to/from the port or airport is includedDaily housekeeping is includedSome of the bedrooms in this villa are not accessed internally. A car is recommended.

Apple said to dump Samsung as chip-baking partner – again
A report coursing about the interwebs claims that Apple is dumping its iDevice chip partnership with über-rival Samsung, and has inked a three-year deal with Taiwanese wafer-baker TSMC and its "IC design service partner" Global UniChip to manufacture A8, A9, and A9X chips at the 20nm, 16nm, and 10nm process nodes. This news …
all Samsungs fault ....
.........that we have to reuse the old chipset, keep the low DPI screen and make loads of mega bucks from the cheapest made high end phone on the market.
Naught boy Samsung, stop giving us a crap iPhone.
These stories appear about a month or two before Apple announce a new product or update to a product.
It's only done to get publicity.....
Or maybe all these rumours are Apple's way of negotiating a cheaper deal with Samsung?
Witness the rumor mill and how inaccurate it has been in the past. When Samsung has a contract to produce chips for Apple then Samsung has months of advance notice for marketing to respond with competing product.
It is good for Apple to severe ties with Samsung. Samsung will have to start thinking for themselves rather than have Apple show them the way.
"Apple said to dump Google Maps for its own internally developed solution"
Hmm, how'd that work out for you then?
Samsung magic sauce
Years ago the Samsung 6400 was the magic sauce. 3 chips (ARM SoC, Flash & RAM) layered in one approx 2mm package. Less PCB tracks and less PCB area.
I guess by now someone else can put the Apple variant Arm SoC in that package?
It's not impossible TSMC make the chip and Samsung STILL assemble it with the other two in the package. BTW the original iPhone used the 6400
They might be dumping Samsung for the processors but yet they are making Samsung their SSD vendor. So, they taketh but also giveth in terms of business.
SSD's are generic so order quantities doesn't tip Samsung's hand as to what future Apple products are coming or build quantities the way a CPU order does.
20% Price Increase?
Samsung had to raise the money to pay the $2 Billion court judgement against them somehow, why not from the Company that sued them to begin with?

Prevention Pack
DCI Shreveport
1322 Kings Hwy
The Event
Mission: Prevention - a community service project with Woodlawn High School.
Location & Address
Woodlawn High School, 7340 Wyngate Blvd., Shreveport, LA
We partnered with Woodlawn Leadership Academy and their health program, local nephrologists, LSU-Health Science Center, Lamb Advertising, Louisiana Tech University, and our local ANNA Chapter. We presented education to the students on preventing hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and ultimately kidney disease. Our three day event included classroom presentations involving doctors, nurses, and dietitians. The last day we will had a big "celebration" in the gym and outdoor area with music, snacks, contests, prizes, etc. Constance Thomas, Administrator for the DCI clinics in Shreveport, La. states, "DCI mission is that we are a service organization and the care of our patients is our reason for existence". Joellen Ford, Dietitian and Team Leader along with the staff of DCI, Physicians Randall White and Kenneth Abreo, Medical Directors for DCI, other physicians and volunteers brought the company's mission to life at Woodlawn Leadership Academy. DCI theme for the community service project was "Mission Prevention". Constance Thomas states, "Education equals Prevention and our goal is to educate these students and their families in hopes of preventing them from being on dialysis". DCI developed and presented an educational program that addressed normal kidney function, and prevention of hypertension, diabetes, and kidney disease with the 493 cadets in the school's ROTC classes for 3 days in early May. Roll plays, interactive classroom presentations, dialysis machine demonstrations all were designed to engage students in the content material. Dr. Randall White performed a skit in each classroom using four of the WLA students as medical students. Neverlyn Sumers (DCI staff RN) played the part of a non-compliant patient and Nurse Manager Mary Vergo also participated in the skit. The skit was done in effort to get the students involved to educate them on the importance of prevention. There was also a dialysis machine set up and demonstrations done by Nurse Managers, James Harter and Jack Jinks. Other participants included: Beverly Caldwell, RD, Tejuana Garner, SW, Kay Ceasar, SW, Cindy Anderson, DCI Staff, Janet Partin, DCI Nurse, Dr. Habib (LSU), Chris Caskey, DCI Nurse, 7 Dietetic Interns from La Tech University, Dr. Ramani (LSU), Kathy Ballard, NP (LSU and ANNA), Mary Michael Bogues, RN (ANNA), Peggy Raish, NP (Woodlawn Heath program) On the 3rd day at the campus health center, Dr. Habib, a DCI pediatric nephrologist, convened a special educational session with WLA students already diagnosed with hypertension and their parents. Each student was given a gift of a personal blood pressure cuff for use at home for participating in the special session. As a culmination of the week's activities, DCI, Inc. brought the local band Windstorm to the Woodlawn quad to play Friday afternoon. Music filled the air while students enjoyed gifts of healthy snacks and a personal water bottle, dancing, and an opportunity to participate in a 3 point basketball shoot-out in the gym. Reginald Harper, a 1990 Woodlawn high School graduate, former DCI patient, and keyboard performer with Windstorm addressed the students about his own kidney disease, transplant and the importance of following through on the education they had received throughout the week. One week later, Dr. Habib, Constance Thomas, and Joellen Ford went back to the school for a follow up session with 6 students. Each student provided feedback on what they learned and what they liked about the program. Local TV station (KTBS) was on hand to document this session for a health related spot on the 6 o'clock news. Overall, the program was a big success. We are already planning on providing another program next school year and it has also opened up some other community opportunities including the Volunteers of America and a Back to School Health Fair in August. Below are some of the comments that we received from the school. • Comments from the ROTC instructors: • Presentation was excellent and relevant to the nutrition issues facing today's children. • The entire program fits in with Michele Obama's initiative for healthier lifestyle for children. • Informative, we instructors learned important facts that affect our health as well. • We want them back as JROTC teaches the health curriculum for WLA. This adds relevance to our instruction!
Date & Time
May 4-6, 2011

RIP O'Rourke's
One of Connecticut's dining treasures, O'Rourke's Diner in Middletown, burned down last night. Don't know if they're planning on rebuilding, but don't make plans to visit anytime soon!
I grew up down the street from O'Rourke's. That is one of the worst things that I possibly could have heard. I hope Brian and everyone are ok...
That's horrible! I don't get to Middletown that often, but O'Rourke's was always a fav stop. Perhaps the best diner food I've ever had.
A website has been set up to send condolences and memories to Brian O'Rourke (who is fine!), offer to help, and read any updates about whether the diner will be rebuilt.
The website is at www.orourkesdiner.com and was built by Neil Alan of Pelton's. You can register there and send a story or memory.
re: Elisa515
Thanks for the link! I have forwarded it to all my fellow O'Rourke's obsessives. My sister once ate with us and then got back in line to eat with her friends.
Found some post fire photos on Flickr if anyone wants to see them:
A recent Hartford Courant story said:
"Another Main Street restaurant that's open only for dinner offered to let O'Rourke do breakfast and lunch there daily, without charging him."
If you hear that anything comes of this, please let us Chowhounds know.
Terrible news...we tried to go there in July, but it was closed for the day, so I never was able to try the place out. I hope they get enough contributions so that they can rebuild.
i heard about the fire back in august...what terrible news! o'rourke's was and is my all-time favorite diner.
i understand that the owners are trying to raise money to rebuild the place...does anyone have an update about this? is there any word on if/when they might reopen?
thanks, guys. and thanks to o'rourke's for all the great food and memories.
re: surly
I sent a rather long post but it doesn't seem to have "stuck." If you'd like an update, go to the website address I posted a few messages above yours and you'll find not only more info but an opportunity to contribute to getting the place back. Apparently they didn't have fire insurance (how????).
Update from the Hartford Courant: Brian O'Rourke will be cooking breakfast three days a week at the Coppertop Bar and Grill in Middletown.
re: Metermaid
went wednesday ~11am for breakfast.. 10 min wait for tables so i took a stool. everyone was friendly, the placed looked great. much more fire code-friendly which takes away a little bit of the ambiance.. still, i'd much rather have a healthy o'rourkes. the coffee was great and my cup stayed full the whole time. waitstaff was in a great mood, great attitutes, except for this one cook who was frustrated with learning the big menu and kept having to check ingredients with brian.
i had the 4th degree (3 eggs scrambled with smoked cheddar, irish bacon, smoked bacon and double-smoked bacon, fingerlings & toast). the double-smoked bacon was left out, and i was given home fries instead of fingerlings.. everything was good but training new chefs seems to be a rough task..
and no more free bread with breakfast?? seems like they're charging for the bread sampler now (every time i'd gone before it was free- put on the table when you sit)
and i wanted a steamed burger, but felt like it's a cursed menu item and couldn't bring myself to eat one.
still, a fun breakfast and its good to see em back in business

Natural Ingredients 101
Coconut Oil
For most of the last 4000 years, coconut oil has been used as a food, and as a moisturizer. And the news has all been good. In the late 1700s, Captain Cook wrote about the beauty of peoples across the Pacific using coconut oil in their daily lives. Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids that rejuvenate skin, keeping it soft and supple. It works for all skin types and it works just as well for hair. The uses of coconut oil are so respected that they are documented in Sanskrit from 1500BC in all areas relating to the mind, body and spirit. And Captain Cook? He took to using it every day.
