Democrat Joins Gubernatorial race, Says He'll Spend $10 Million in Primary
November 19, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Houston hair executive Farouk Shami says his focus is stimulating economy.
By Corrie MacLaggan, American Statesman
Houston hair care executive Farouk Shami said Tuesday that he's definitely running for governor and that he'll put in $10 million for the Democratic primary alone.
"I am in," said Shami, 66, a political novice whose company sells CHI hair-straightening irons and BioSilk hair products. "I am 100 percent sure I will be the next governor of Texas."
Democrat Farouk Shami says he'll put in $10 million.
For Capitol watchers who weren't paying close attention to Shami's declarations in recent months that he was thinking of running, his promise of $10 million of his own money might make them listen.
"Nobody else can begin to say that," said Chuck Herring, president of the Central Texas Democratic Forum, which hosted Shami at a lunch meeting Tuesday.
As of July, the leading fundraiser in the Democratic primary for governor, former U.S. Ambassador Tom Schieffer, had $454,000 on hand. In the GOP race, Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison had $9.3 million and $12.5 million, respectively.
Shami, a native of Palestine who arrived in the United States in 1965 and likes to say he's "living the American dream," said he's planning a formal campaign announcement Nov. 19 at CHI USA in Houston.
Shami, founder and chairman of Farouk Systems Inc., said he's not looking for fame or money and that he'd accept a salary of $1 as governor. (Gov. Rick Perry earns $150,000 a year and accepts about $115,000 of that, a spokeswoman said.)
"The people of Texas are really tired of career politicians who talk and work for special interest groups," Shami said.
Shami, who recently announced that his company is bringing 1,200 manufacturing jobs from South Korea and China to Texas, said his campaign's top priority is stimulating the economy, particularly with green jobs. He said that, as governor, he would create about 150,000 jobs by opening factories that would hire Texans to produce solar panels.
Shami "has a sincerity and a genuineness that are very attractive," Herring said. "He's untrained politically — that's clear as well."
Andy Brown, chairman of the Travis County Democratic Party, said an Austin reception for Shami on Monday evening drew people Brown hadn't seen at party functions, particularly members of Austin's Arab American community. "If his candidacy brings new communities to the active Democratic party structure, I think that's a great thing," Brown said.
Feras Mousilli, president of the Austin chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, was also at the reception and called Shami refreshing.
"Obviously, he's got a tremendous uphill battle ahead of him—he doesn't have a typical name, the look, the background of most career politicians," Mousilli said. But he said he found it appealing that Shami is not indebted to PACs or lobbyists.
"It's rare to find somebody without those kind of ghosts in their closet."

From the May 15 edition of Fox News' Bulls & Bears:

In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Fox News is burying Republican policy positions that exacerbate income inequality in order to help the GOP rebrand itself as a party for the middle class. This effort follows years of Fox figures blasting Democratic policies designed to alleviate income inequality as "class warfare."
Conservative media hyped the findings of a new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report as a "bombshell" that shows the costs of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will be much higher than expected. But according to the CBO's report, the ACA will cost 20 percent less over the next decade than its initial projections.

I know those type of things are annoying, although I'm not experiencing most of them. I was having an issue where I exit from a recording and it froze on a black screen for about 30 seconds. And then when using the remote for anything, there was no response for 30 seconds and then it did all of the commands in a row. A reset resolved that.I called DTV yesterday to talk about some of my HR34 issues and asked the tech to connect me to the special unit that handles just HR34 issues. With all of my previous calls to DTV about my HR34, that has been the case, i.e. I was switched to somebody who said he or she was a caseworker (or something like that) who said they handled only HR34 issues and that person then opened a case file (or something like that) on my HR34 issue or issues. Yesterday the tech said that so-called special HR34 unit no longer existed and he was the one to help me. Was he BSing me, or has that special HR34 unit actually been shut down? Thanks. BTW: I asked him if used an HR34 at home and he said no. I asked because he seemed to be in a fog when I told him of several of my HR34 issues. The issues I discussed were:
1. The infernal "to record this episode" prompt. I suggested it should be put under the auspices of RECORDING TIPS so when RECORDING TIPS is off, the infernal "to record this episode" prompt does not appear.
2. The failure of the HR34 to properly AUTO REWIND when you are in the FFWD mode and you then press PLAY. My HR23 and HR24 do properly AUTO REWIND in the case of FFWD > PLAY. By that I mean the hard drive rewinds a few seconds so as to compensate for my reaction time and thus it takes me to a place in the video before when I pressed PLAY so I don't miss anything.
3. The tendency for the HR34 to yield a frozen picture when I press FFWD while the hard drive is actually fast forwarding "behind" the frozen picture.
4. The oftentimes annoying/aggravating/disconcerting sluggishness of the the HR34 when responding to a remote control command. I am so sick and tired of pressing a button on the remote and having happen what is supposed to happen only 1 or 2 or 3 seconds later -- or worse, not happen at all. When the latter is the case, oftentimes when I repeat the failed remote control command, the HR34 does 2 of what I wanted it to originally do because it somehow buffered the first command that it didn't respond to.
Then, worst of all, there is the situation when a remote command "freezes" or "locks up" the HR34 for several minutes. Then again, sometimes the HR34 doesn't "fix" itself and needs to be rebooted. Since 0x05cd, I've had to reboot my HR34 four times. I think this HR34 0x05cd combination is a fraud on the American public, and I wish DTV would concentrate of fixing the outstanding technical issues before they add more useless (to me) or stupid (to me) features such as GENIE and the "to record this episode" prompt. My rant today. Thanks.
Maybe you should push to have them replace your HR34? Also, to make it a bit easier to read, could you please occasional start a new paragraph, like I did above?

CLF stands for the Canadian Football League, which is a professional football league that is located in Canada. This is the highest level of Canadian football, and most professional and amateur football players in Canada dream of qualifying to play in the Canadian Football League.
There are currently eight different teams in the Canadian Football League, each of which is based in a different city in Canada. However, these teams are divided into the West Division and the East Division, with four teams in each. The CFL season lasts from the end of June until the first week in November, and during the season a total of 18 games are usually played by each team.The rules of the Canadian Football League are generally very similar to American Football, which means that it is very each for American football fans to get into the games and follow them. Because this is a very high contact sport, players need to wear special protective gear, including fully padded helmets.The Canadian Football League was founded on January 19, 1958, which makes it North America's second oldest continuously operating gridiron football league. This decade is particularly significant for the sport, as a number of new stadiums have either been built or are currently being planned. This is set to give a whole new face to the game and attract a large number of both Canadian and international fans. The first team to receive a new stadium was the Montreal Alouettes, who added a total of 5,000 seats to their already large Percival Molson Memorial Stadium just in time to be used during the 2010 season.These days CFL matches are broadcast in a large number of stations throughout Canada, allowing fans to watch games in the comfort of their own home. Matches are also broadcast on a limited number of international television stations. Fans can also watch games on the internet either live or whenever they choose.
Despite its overwhelming popularity in Canada, the Canadian Football League is relatively unknown outside of the country. However, the league's international fame has been increasing in recent years, especially in countries such as the USA, where televised games are often shown in special bars and other establishments to Canadian and American patrons.

Over the weekend there was some news in the North Country as it was revealed that NY is buying 69,000 acres of land in the Adirondack Park for $49.8 million. The plan calls for a five-year phase to pay for the land and the state will pay full local property taxes and school district taxes on the land. The land will be used for public use and tourism.
Moving on to Southern Tier interests…while NY continues the debate over drilling, other parts of the Marcellus Shale are enjoying being part of the most productive natural gas field in the US.

Pontiac Vibe Accessories & Modifications
Hi, I know this is very random lol but I was wondering if anyone knew a good spot for performance parts for my '03 Vibe since I can't seem to find any or if there is some sort of way to switch from my auto transmission to a 5 speed sice standard is a much better way to go??!! Thanks
fear_hope Posts: 90My 2006 Vibe came with the exhaust tip. It looks really cool and I thought it was just for show (good looks). After I had the car for 3 weeks (this past Monday), I heard a funny sound and then the engine noise and noise from the exhaust became noticeably LOUDER. It also seems to have a somewhat deeper tone and sort of an echo-like sound? That is the best description I can come up with. Does anyone else have the exhause tip and purchased their car new? Did you notice anything like that? Has anyone without the tip had any issue like I described. I was thinking maybe the muffler is defective... It goes in to dealer next week so I am looking for fellow Vibing experiences. Thanks so much!
jstant01 Posts: 65I think all 2005 and 2006 Vibes come with the exhaust tip - at least all the ones I have seen. I'm not sure about the 2003 and 2004s.
The Vibe exhaust tone is a bit "louder" than normal. I read somewhere that this was done on purpose to make the car sound more sporty. GM used to put special mufflers on their "sporty" version cars that made them sound like a donkey going into labor. Thank God they don't do that anymore!
I've never noticed any unusual sounds followed by a louder exhaust, but like I said, I have noticed that the exhaust is a little louder than previous vehicles I have owned. If you heard some sort of "sound" I would suspect that something either came loose or fell off your exhaust somewhere. -
fear_hope Posts: 90Has anyone else noticed white streaked staining on their aluminum roof rack rails? Mine had very bad staining. It happens when I go through the car wash. It would not come off and the dealer replaced the rails. Now I have noticed a little on the new rails. I have started to dry the rails as soon as I drive out of the car wash and it seems to help. Aluminum polish did not help. Does anyone else have the same problem and a solution?
Thanks!!! -
evelone Posts: 2My drivers side rear tail light has condensation in it. Does anyone else have this problem? I noticed that the left side isn't as bright as the right because of all the water buildup. I have like 52000 miles on my car and am not sure if i still have a warranty because i bought my 05 vibe used.
cher48 Posts: 3how do you all like the vibe? I have a 2000 beetle, with 72,000km...I am finding it alittle too small, and I am finding with alot of snow I am all over the road...I hate it...might look at a 2006 vibe tomorrow, just wanted to hear some input on how some of you like it! it looks like a pretty cool car, and the mileage, looks pretty good....checked it out on www.fueleconomy.gov.......have a great day all! :shades:

jfeurer Posts: 1Had my new '08 Vibe for two weeks and 700 miles. Love the car, not the seat.
It has the optional leather seats, which do not provide ample comfort.
They are constricting. Although I'm "big", I'm not huge.
I'm 6'2" and 230 pounds.
The driver seat is too narrow. I'm aware there is only so much room (width) available between the driver door and the center console.
However, the seat bolsters put pressure on my thighs, and the seat bottom is not long enough.
Has anyone "altered" their seat, or even replaced the entire unit with a more comfortable one (if possible)?
While I'm at it, what about heated seats? Any recommendations?

partman Posts: 1Hello, everyone, I am new here and all of the information I have seen has been very helpfull. We are looking into getting an 08 Vibe because our 02 Trailblazer only gets 16-17 mpg. I have been in contact with the local dealer and we are currently trying out an 05 Vibe(to see how they ride, interior space, etc.). The dealer has printed out five or six descriptions(options, colors, incentives, etc,) of cars that he could get in to the dealership for us and we have to narrow down which one we want. My question is, and even the dealer didn't know?!...What does the "Western Package" consist of? It seems that a lot option packages contain some of the same individual options and I don't want to end up paying for the same option two or even three times just because it is part of a "package". Any and all help is appreciated. thanks, Patrick
maxx4me Posts: 1,340yep, I think I do. My '03 does the same thing when the recirculation button is not depressed, allowing fresh air into the cabin. I presume the clicking is the motor trying to grab and swing the vent doors to allow the fresh air in, and it is not catching the plastic properly. I now have to leave the button on inside air to avoid having the loud clicking noise. See if it goes away once you press the button.
cybersaurusrex Posts: 7I have an 05. It is great except the roofrack is not very useful (deliberate understatement).
I want to disassemble it to decide if I can extend it and support the front with 2 vertical attachments to the front bumper. I prefer to use lengths of aluminum angle or something similar. I wolud hope to at least carry 4x8 plywood.

Mike Fisher, Competitive Snowboarder
Mike Fisher is a 23-year-old from Ontario, Canada, who's been snowboarding since he was 13 years old. At the age of 18, he was involved in a motorcycle crash that necessitated the amputation of one leg below the knee. He says, "At first, I felt that my life was coming to a crashing halt. But I just pushed myself to recover as fast as possible and get my life back on track, go to school, get back into snowboarding and motorcycles-just anything so that my life wasn't affected at all. I had a lot of support, and I would say that I was pretty optimistic about it and took it almost as a challenge. By the time that I was 19, I was happy. I was walking again, I was back in college in London, Ontario, and everything was good. The accident was a minor setback to me, and I rose above it. I was just continuing with my life."
"In May 2007, I was learning about the signs of diabetes in my health class, and I told my best friend in school, 'I have a lot of those symptoms.' So I went to the doctor and got tested. Everything seemed to be fine, but then I got an infection in my leg that wasn't healing properly, so my grandma tested my blood sugar, and it was crazy high. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with diabetes on Mother's Day."
"It really bummed me out. I thought, 'I've already been in an accident, and I've gotten my life back on track, but now here's another big step back to slow me down. One bad thing has already happened to me, why does something else have to happen to me too?' I could deal with the first one, but number two really affected me. It was hard to climb the second mountain."
"But again, I drew support from friends and family who were telling me 'you can overcome this. You've done it once and you can do it again.' So I accepted the challenge. I thought, 'I can be upset, I can sit at home and be depressed about it, or I can go out and continue to live my life.' I wouldn't let it slow me down. I just knew that I had to take care of myself, and I had to keep pushing through."
Mike is currently a professional snowboarder on the Canadian Para-Snowboarding National Team. He competes in an event called snowboard cross, which is like motocross on snowboards, with four people racing each other down a course at one time. His next goal is to be in the 2014 Paralympic Games in Russia.
"I've worn an Animas insulin pump for three years now," Mike says. "I'm always training, I'm always snowboarding, and I'm always on the road, so I test my blood at least ten times a day. It may seem a little excessive, but when you're traveling and always pushing your body to the limit, I think it's completely necessary. My A1Cs are usually in the 6.5% range, which is pretty good. A lot of it is all trial and error; once I figured out what my body's like, I've been doing pretty well. I have thought about getting a CGM, but I'm leaving it to the summer when I'm not so busy and always on the hill."
Mike says, "When your sugars are not in range when you're training or competing, you're just not getting the best results out of your body. If you are in range, it's one less thing you have to worry about. Testing myself on the hill, if I'm in range, I'm like, 'Perfect, I'm good to go, let's do this.' But if I'm going to race and my sugars are high or low, my number one thought is 'I've got to fix my sugars' instead of focusing on my race."
Once his professional career is over, Mike says, "I will fall back on the career that I went to school in, which is developmental services-working with people who have physical and developmental disabilities, supporting them through their everyday lives, and helping them achieve their goals. When I got in my accident, I was in architecture, but then when I did all my rehab, I changed my career path because of it."
"I've had injuries through snowboarding, but compared to my accident and diabetes, everything else is minor to me now. Last year I suffered from my eleventh concussion, and I just thought, 'Whatever- I'll heal.' I'm absolutely a different person now because of these things that have happened to me. I think I'm definitely a stronger person because of them, and my outlook on life is completely different. Instead of plugging along through life, I wake up every day and I'm happy to be alive, happy that I'm healthy, happy that I can get out of bed every day. The small things like that, like getting up and walking downstairs, I don't take for granted. When I get to go up the hill and go snowboarding every day, I definitely don't take that for granted."
"Basically, it doesn't matter what happens in your life or the cards that you're dealt. You can achieve your dreams; pretty much-you can do whatever you want to do. I know that there are setbacks in life, but then again, that is life. That's what happens sometimes, and you've got to rise to the challenges of it. It's how you respond to the setbacks that makes your life and makes you who you are."

You could just start ripping ITG. They have every player as they are not licensed, and do not need special permission to include junior teams. Randi

No. 4: X2 -- Six Flags Magic Mountain
Sure, speed and height is what really matters when it comes to roller coasters, but what about a coaster that can deliver both while sending you down a 215-foot drop head-first and face down?
That dream became a reality in 2008 when Six Flags Magic Mountain near Los Angeles took X, a coaster that originally opened in 2001, and spent $10 million transforming and upgrading it into the X2.The cutting-edge coaster places riders on wing-shaped trains where the seats extend off the tracks to the sides of the vehicle, allowing them to independently rotate you head over heels, forward and backward.
While you're twisting and turning in your seat, the whole train is racing at 76 mph through a massive 3,610-foot twisted steel maze. The X2 rises to a height of 190 feet and puts riders through 4 G's of pressure during its two-minute run.
Adding to the experience? A tunnel, a pair of flame throwers, on-board audio and a light experience that changes with every ride.

Anyone have any ideas for making these not completely suck? As it is, they are basically really expensive, short range slings, that require two-hands, a ton of manuevers to reload, and more expensive ammunition . For reference they cost 3 gold, have damage rating 4, critical rating 3, medium range, Two-Handed, and can fire 10 times without reloading, but then have to spend 4 maneuvers to reload the magazine.
Is there any reason why they couldn't just have the DR upped to 6 to be on par with a regular crossbow? They'd still have a shorter range than a normal crossbow (medium instead of long), and they cost 5 times what a normal crossbow does.

Imperial Gourmet All Natural Edamame comes in 1/2 pound microwavable bowls, which is really helpful for controlling portions. The "bowls" are more like plastic tofu containers which aren't very deep and hold a good amount of edamame.
The edamame were very tasty as expected and unsalted in the package. However, there are also little packets of sea salt included so that you can salt to your liking.
A 5.5 ounce serving of Imperial Gourmet All Natural Edamame, including the pods, provides 99 calories, 5 grams of total fat (8% of the daily value), none of which is saturated, 7 milligrams of sodium (0% DV), 8 grams of protein and 7 grams of carbohydrates, including 1 gram of dietary fiber and 5 grams of sugars plus 32% DV of vitamin C Each bowl has 1.5 servings (more details here).
A 4 pound box with 8 bowls cost $7.12 at Sam's Club - I think this product is only available in bulk club stores. I love the novelty of the packaging, and the edamame is great as usual. The box of 8 bowls is pretty intimidating if you have little room in the freezer, but once you unpack the bowls from the box, they can fit on the door side or in other nooks and crannies of the freezer.

The solemnity with which the ark was fixed. (1-6) David's psalm of praise. (7-36) Setting in order the worship of God. (37-43)
Verses 1-6 Though God's word and ordinances may be clouded and eclipsed for a time, they shall shine out of obscurity. This was but a tent, a humble dwelling, yet this was the tabernacle which David, in his psalms, often speaks of with so much affection. David showed himself generous to his subjects, as he had found God gracious to him. Those whose hearts are enlarged with holy joy, should show it by being open-handed.
Verses 7-36 Let God be glorified in our praises. Let others be edified and taught, that strangers to him may be led to adore him. Let us ourselves triumph and trust in God. Those that give glory to God's name are allowed to glory in it. Let the everlasting covenant be the great matter of our joy his people of old, be remembered by us with thankfulness to him. Show forth from day to day his salvation, his promised salvation by Christ. We have reason to celebrate that from day to day; for we daily receive the benefit, and it is a subject that can never be exhausted. In the midst of praises, we must not forget to pray for the servants of God in distress.
Verses 37-43 The worship of God ought to be the work of every day. David put it into order. At Jerusalem, where the ark was, Asaph and his brethren were to minister before the ark continually, with songs of praise. No sacrifices were offered there, nor incense burnt, because the altars were not there; but David's prayers were directed as incense, and the lifting up of his hands as the evening sacrifice. So early did spiritual worship take place of ceremonial. Yet the ceremonial worship, being of Divine institution, must by no means be omitted; therefore at Gibeon, at the altars, the priests attended; for their work was to sacrifice and burn incense; and that they did continually, morning and evening, according to the law of Moses. As the ceremonies were types of the mediation of Christ, the observance of them was of great consequence. The attendance of his appointed ministers is right in itself, and encourages the people.
1 Chronicles 16:1-6 . DAVID'S FESTIVAL SACRIFICE AND LIBERALITY TO THE PEOPLE.
2. he blessed the people in the name of the Lord--The king commended their zeal, supplicated the divine blessing upon them, and ordered the remains of the thank offerings which had been profusely sacrificed during the procession, to be distributed in certain proportions to every individual, that the ceremonial might terminate with appropriate festivities ( Deuteronomy 12:7 ).
3. flagon of wine--The two latter words are a supplement by our translators, and the former is, in other versions, rendered not a "flagon," but a "cake," a confection, as the Septuagint renders it, made of flour and honey.
4-6. he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord--No sooner was the ark deposited in its tent than the Levites, who were to officiate in the choirs before it, entered upon their duties. A select number of the musicians were chosen for the service from the list ( 1 Chronicles 15:19-21 ) of those who had taken a prominent part in the recent procession. The same arrangement was to be observed in their duties, now that the ark again was stationary; Asaph, with his associates, composing the first or principal company, played with cymbals; Zechariah and his colleagues, with whom were conjoined Jeiel and Obed-edom, forming the second company, used harps and similar instruments.
5. Jeiel--the same as Aziel ( 1 Chronicles 15:20 ).
6. Benaiah also and Jahaziel--The name of the former is mentioned among the priests ( 1 Chronicles 15:24 ), but not the latter. The office assigned to them was that of blowing trumpets at regular intervals before the ark and in the tabernacle.
1 Chronicles 16:7-43 . HIS PSALM OF THANKSGIVING.
7. Then on that day David delivered first this psalm--Among the other preparations for this solemn inauguration, the royal bard had composed a special hymn for the occasion. Doubtless it had been previously in the hands of Asaph and his assistants, but it was now publicly committed to them as they entered for the first time on the performance of their sacred duties. It occupies the greater part of this chapter ( 1 Chronicles 16:8-36 ), and seems to have been compiled from other psalms of David, previously known to the Israelites, as the whole of it will be found, with very slight variations, in Psalms 96:1-13 , 105:1-15 , Psalms 106:47 Psalms 106:48 . In the form, however, in which it is given by the sacred historian, it seems to have been the first psalm given for use in the tabernacle service. Abounding, as it does, with the liveliest ascriptions of praise to God for the revelation of His glorious character and the display of His marvellous works and containing, as it does, so many pointed allusions to the origin, privileges, and peculiar destiny of the chosen people, it was admirably calculated to animate the devotions and call forth the gratitude of the assembled multitude.
36. all the people said, Amen--(Compare Psalms 72:19 Psalms 72:20 , 106:48 ). In the former, the author of the doxology utters the "amen" himself, while in the latter the people are exhorted to say "amen." This may arise from the fact that the latter psalm originally concluded with the injunction to say "amen." But in this historical account of the festival, it was necessary to relate that the people obeyed this injunction on the occasion referred to, and therefore the words "let them praise," were altered into "and they praised" [BERTHEAU].
37-42. So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Asaph and his brethren, &c.--The sequel of the chapter describes the appointment of the sacred musicians and their respective duties.
38. Obed-edom with their brethren--Hosah, mentioned at the close of the verse, and a great number besides
to be porters--doorkeepers.
39, 40. And Zadok . . . before the tabernacle . . . at Gibeon--While the above-mentioned officers under the superintendence of Abiathar, were appointed to officiate in Jerusalem, whither the ark had been brought, Zadok and the priests subordinate to him were stationed at Gibeon to perform the sacred service before the ancient tabernacle which still remained there.
40. continually morning and evening--as the law enjoined ( Exodus 29:38 , Numbers 28:3 Numbers 28:6 ).
and do according to all that is written in the law--(See Numbers 28:1-31 ). Thus, in the time of David, the worship was performed at two places, where the sacred things that had been transmitted from the age of Moses were preserved. Before the Ark in Jerusalem, Asaph and his brethren officiated as singers, Obed-edom and Hosah served as doorkeepers, and Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets. While at the tabernacle and burnt offering in Gibeon, Heman and Jeduthun presided over the sacred music, the sons of Jeduthun were door keepers, and Zadok, with his suite of attendant priests, offered the sacrifices.

The birth of a radio station
Like the start of anything, there has to be a motivation. In this case, it was a man with a dream to build and run a radio station. His motivation stems from being raised in the area. Now he is a lawyer and partner at a law firm in Las Vegas. His name is Will Kemp and he is a man with vision, drive and the resources to build from the ground up; a combination that proved ideal for this project. The true genius behind the concept of designing the RF facility is Rich Green of Rich Green and Associates.
The KVEG control room is at the center of the fully digital facility. Looking up at the Apex Communications site, which serves as the middle point of the STL path. The rack room houses the automation system and serves as the central wiring point for the facility. A typical installation using the JRBE Inter-Tie Panel, which serves as a high-density rack or wall-mounted cable termination. The production studio is also equipped with a Logitek control surface. |
Kemp and Green started working on the concept of a new station in Mesquite, NV, in 1997. Green, armed with a huge amount of antenna modeling and mapping software, came up with several sites. Even with all the best software, he likes to see things for himself. Because most of the proposed sites were in the middle of the desert with no road access, it became necessary to rent a helicopter and visit the sites by air. After the two looked at all the sites on Green's list, they chose a site that is next to an area called the California Bowl. Rich then returned to Cameron Park, CA, and started the long process to get a construction permit (CP) from the FCC.
Once the CP was issued, Green designed a 1,380-foot tall tower. This would be the tallest man-made structure in Nevada. He soon realized that this height would allow a booster to cover downtown Las Vegas.
My involvement in the project started while attending NAB2000. I was asked by Green to have lunch with him and Will Kemp. I had no idea that I was being considered to lead a large build-out. We talked about digital audio, appropriate STL systems and other elements of quality audio. I was intrigued by Kemp's eagerness to provide the best possible audio to listeners. Later that evening, I was told about the pending studio project and that I was going to build the facilities.
The following day, we visited the proposed transmitter site. My first thought was about the STL path. We wanted to send an uncompressed digital audio signal 47 miles northeast to the main transmitter site, through an area surrounded by mountains and without any utilities. Further complicating matters is the Apex Summit, which lies just north of Las Vegas. This land mass creates a giant curtain that blocks RF in or out of Las Vegas.
The transmitter site, located about three miles east of I-15 near Mesquite, was being carved out of the desert — as was the road to get to the site. Working without power, telecommunications, roads and security proved to be a nearly overwhelming challenge.
Constructing a building with enough cooling for a 35kW transmitter in 125-degree heat and a 1,380-foot tower is a major undertaking. After a few days working in this environment, it becomes business as usual. P&R Tower built the tower.
Because the site lacks all utilities, two Caterpillar 100kW diesel generators were brought in to supply the power needed. The first generator runs for 21 days, after which the second generator starts and switches over automatically. Near the end of the second 21 days, a local service company arrives to service the first generator, then switches generators and services the second. The above ground, 10,000-gallon fuel storage tank is filled as needed during each service visit. A 100-gallon back up tank is part of the system.
Green designed an air conditioner system with a custom built pre-cooler that works with great efficiency. The pre-cooler air is only on when the outside temperature is lower than the transmitter exhaust. It uses isolated outside air blowing across an air exchange then back outside. This keeps the outside air from contaminating the transmitter building's closed air-cooling system.
The STL path length was about 47 miles from end to end. I envisioned a double hop, but did not know where the middle point would be. I soon discovered a site on the west side of the freeway while driving north on I-15. While it was not easily accessible, I determined the position with GPS and turned it over to Kemp. This large peak with existing radio towers is called the Apex Communications site.
In short order I had a name and phone number to coordinate a site visit with a representative. I used my spectrum analyzer to check for available microwave frequencies and sent my findings to Green.
We quickly learned that a microwave channel would not be available in a timely fashion. An alternative was needed. I chose Harris TM-2400 Aurora 2.5GHz spread-spectrum radios for the primary link and the TM-5800 5.8GHz Aurora spread spectrum radio for the secondary link. Many consider spread-spectrum to be unreliable, but both systems have worked perfectly with no down time in three years. Both radio systems interface directly with Harris Intraplex T-1 multiplexers, which provide an uncompressed bidirectional link. Program audio is sent to the transmitter site and an air monitor is returned. The system also carries the transmitter remote control data. The primary Intraplex system uses digital input cards, while the backup system uses analog cards. At the transmitter site, the two outputs feed the TFT 999 Digital Insertion unit. This accepts the analog and digital signals and automatically switches to the analog feed if the digital signal fails.
Inside the studios
Kemp wanted a facility that could handle several stations, including radio, TV and webcasting. He wanted four studios, starting with an on-air studio and production studio. The other two studios would be built for future expansion. Kemp wanted an impressive facility to demonstrate his commitment to his new industry.
We planned on building the station in one of his existing properties on the Las Vegas strip, which was next to a large parking lot that is often used for bus traffic. Buses would sit in the lot idling for long periods of time, providing a constant noise source that needed to be addressed. I designed the studios with the usual construction techniques: double walls, three layers of insulation and double sheetrock. Although the cost of specifying an NC-20 standard in this case was impractical, all efforts were made to make it as quiet as possible. Even with good communication between the contractor and me it still took several inspections during construction to prevent sometimes almost hidden breaches of the isolated walls. We decided to spend the money on backup power and studio equipment. This turned out to be the right move.
Kemp also wanted the best possible audio to crush the competition. We wanted the perfect digital chain: CD quality with absolute linearity all the way through to the exciter. I started with a product that I knew well; I needed a hard-drive media delivery system with truly linear capabilities at 44.1kHz. It needed to handle all the latest nuances, such as CD ripping, importable music scheduling, ease of use and plenty of backup infrastructure including a backup server and separate play-to-air machine for each room. I also wanted to remotely locate the machines in the rack room to keep the studio as quiet as possible. Luckily for us, my last responsibilities at KMEL were to purchase and install just such a system to replace the station's aging ITC cart machines. I knew which system I wanted. We purchased a Mediatouch system.
For the audio console, I chose a product that I think offers a lot of bang for the buck; the Logitek audio engine with the Numix control surface. Its mix-minus capabilities and ease of use makes it a real winner and it looks great. We used these consoles in the on-air and production rooms.
The telephone hybrids are from Telos, complete with talk-show options. The Inter-Tie system was my own design that I first used at KSTE in Sacramento, CA, in 1993. I have always felt that if engineers had more options, they wouldn't use 66-style punch blocks with their knife blade's width connections. After all, most phones and data circuits develop problems because of bad punch connections. My system uses a series of Molex, BNC and F-type connectors and can be fitted with any other connector as well.
These connectors are mounted on a custom-built JRBE Inter-Tie panel that I have improved over the years. Every type of cable is run and terminated to both ends. It is considered permanent and even if the room is rebuilt, these connections need never be removed. The user end can be used as needed or changed completely. With every wire numbered it was easy to trace any wire. I believe that full documentation is always appropriate, if not for your benefit, for whoever follows you. It is a real challenge to explain it to management, but they can be made to realize that it will cost them more in the long run for engineers to try to figure out the wiring every time a change or connection is needed.
The air chain
Content (music) is ripped into the Mediatouch system from CD in straight PCM 44.1kHz format at eight times speed or faster. Content is reproduced on the Mediatouch play-to-air machine (PTA) for studio A (on-air control room), which is equipped with Digigram digital audio cards. The system features a second play-to-air machine running off the redundant server simultaneously playing the same content for the back up. In case of a failure, the secondary can be brought in immediately. The AES digital audio from the PTA machine is routed to the air studio and feeds one of the Logitek audio engine digital inputs. Mixed program audio leaves the control and returns to the rack room, feeding the TFT program interrupter. The digital output of the interrupter feeds a Ward-Beck Systems POD digital distribution amplifier. Digital output-1 goes to the main transmitter Intraplex digital input and the second digital audio output-2 goes to the booster transmitter Intraplex digital input. The main transmitter audio is sent to the Apex site. The main transmitter Intraplex digital audio output fed an Orban 8200, which then fed the input of the Broadcast Electronics Predator Exciter. (We have since changed the processor and exciter.) The entire path maintains a digital signal throughout at 44.1kHz sampling rate.
The Predator is outfitted with the 10MHz time-base option, which is fed by an ESE GPS receiver. This works well to synchronize the main and booster carriers. The audio is carefully synchronized through another Intraplex card to add a small amount of delay. To give the station every edge possible, Kemp let me indulge in new and some old processors and exciters to make the station sound its best.
While digital audio has a natural advantage for maintaining audio purity, when it's all said and done the ear is still analog. We like certain types of distortion. We found that another processor and exciter combination sounded even better, and we incorporated a few new and old tricks that work nicely. I feel that in the end, an all-digital chain helps to provide excellent audio all the way to the transmitter and gives you a great platform to work some analog magic for our analog ears.

Gary Shayne Phillips, 37, left this world Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014, to be with Jesus, his trusted friend.
He was a man who had found his way in life and the love he had for his children made him the best dad his children could ever want. He faced challenges head-on, overcame adversities to form a life for his family.
He had just received a promotion at Capitoline Products where he was employed nearly three years. He was conscious of making his Dad and family proud of him. He loved to cook and bake with Sierra and spend alone time talking about life with Lexus.
He loved watching Jakob's football and Braxton's basketball games and enjoyed shooting hoops with both of his sons. He was an extremely patient and loyal man to his family and friends, and especially to the love of his life, Tiffany.
He was always talking with his Dad about his family and the Phillips tradition of NASCAR racing.

Kidney stones (renal lithiasis) are small, hard deposits that form inside your kidneys. The stones are made of mineral and acid salts. Kidney stones have many causes and can affect any part of your urinary tract — from your kidneys to your bladder. Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together.
Passing kidney stones can be quite painful, but the stones usually cause no permanent damage. Depending on your situation, you may need nothing more than to take pain medication and drink lots of water to pass a kidney stone. In other instances, surgery may be needed. Your doctor may recommend preventive treatment to reduce your risk of recurrent kidney stones if you're at increased risk of developing them again.
A kidney stone may not cause symptoms until it moves around within your kidney or passes into your ureter — the tube connecting the kidney and bladder. At that point, these signs and symptoms may occur:
Pain caused by a kidney stone may change — for instance, shifting to a different location or increasing in intensity — as the stone moves through your urinary tract.
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs and symptoms that worry you.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
Kidney stones often have no definite, single cause, although several factors may increase your risk.
Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances — such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid — than the fluid in your urine can dilute. At the same time, your urine may lack substances that keep crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney stones to form.
Knowing the type of kidney stone helps determine the cause and may give clues on how to reduce your risk of getting more kidney stones. Types of kidney stones include:
Factors that increase your risk of developing kidney stones include:
Small kidney stones that don't block your kidney or cause other problems can be treated by your family doctor. But if you have a large kidney stone and experience severe pain or kidney problems, your doctor may refer you to a doctor who treats problems in the urinary tract (urologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared.
For kidney stones, some basic questions include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment when you don't understand something.
If your doctor suspects you have a kidney stone, you may have diagnostic tests and procedures, such as:
Treatment for kidney stones varies, depending on the type of stone and the cause.
Most kidney stones won't require invasive treatment. You may be able to pass a small stone by:
Kidney stones that can't be treated with conservative measures — either because they're too large to pass on their own or because they cause bleeding, kidney damage or ongoing urinary tract infections — may require more invasive treatment. Procedures may include:
Prevention of kidney stones may include a combination of lifestyle changes and medications.
You may reduce your risk of kidney stones if you:
Ask your doctor for a referral to a dietitian who can help you develop an eating plan that reduces your risk of kidney stones.
Medications can control the amount of minerals and acid in your urine and may be helpful in people who form certain kinds of stones. The type of medication your doctor prescribes will depend on the kind of kidney stones you have. Here are some examples:

Attention: Kistler Racing Products Season Championship Night on Saturday, August 29th will determine the 2009 Attica Track Championships in all four divisions and is for double points. If the event would be canceled the points are final and Baumann Auto Group Night on September 5th would not be a points event.
Assuming all the leaders from the various divisions show up this weekend, here are some scenarios on how the 2009 Crowns could be decided. Thanks to Ross Paulson of Computer Man, Inc. for this info.
In the 410 Sprint Car Division...Reed locks up the title with a 5th place or better finish.Andrews, Linder and Keegan still have a chance.In the Fremont Fence Inc. 305 Sprint Car Division...Weaver locks up the title with a 5th place or better finish.Brubaker and Rando still have a chance.In the Fultz Fabrications & Speed Shop UMP DIRTcar Late Models Division..Missler locks up the title with a 8th place or better finish.Maffett and Moore still have a chance.In the Dirt Truck Division...Ball locks up the title with a 17th place or better finish.Wiechman, Waltermier, Arnold, and Hennig still have a chance.
Saturday is also the final points event of 2009 for the 410 Sprints at Attica in the hunt for the $10,000 Kistler Racing Products Fremont/ Attica Sprint Title (The F.A.S.T. Series is not for double points). Craig Mintz currently holds a 42-point edge over Bryon Reed. While Mark Keegan holds a slim advantage over Chris Andrews and Mike Linder outs out the top-5. Caleb Griffith, Brock Mayes, Cap Henry, Kevin Lee and Lee Jacobs round out the F.A.S.T. top-10 and are all seperated by only 86 points. But Brandon Martin is only 11 points out of the illusive top-10.

A donation from the Vitamix Culinary School program brought $5,000 worth of blenders to the student-run kitchen.
"It's a partnership. You have to tell the Vitamix folks about your program. How many are you moving on into the industry? How many are you moving into postsecondary programs?" culinary arts teacher Richmond Flowers said.
The donation of three pieces of blending equipment has allowed the program to expand its breakfast options.
"We've already had multiple uses," Flowers said. "The biggest thing we do with Vitamix blenders is fruit smoothies."
Flowers said he found out about the opportunity through the American Culinary Federation.
"We were talking about doing smoothies before but we just didn't have the equipment," senior Susanna Austin said. "It has given us a lot more business, a lot more money (for the program)."
Senior Brandon Hicks said the students have been able to offer a variety of smoothies including banana, strawberry-banana, pineapple-banana, etc.
An apple pie smoothie is also in the works. He said what flavors are offered each day is decided by the student running the station.
While Austin hasn't used the equipment much for making smoothies, she has used the new equipment when making desserts for the school's bakery.
The department also recently completed installation of a new walk-in refrigerator and freezer.
Flowers said we "basically tripled our capacity" by removing interior walls and creating an open space. This allowed the installation of a larger refrigerator and the setup of a spice rack and pantry area.
"With all the functions that we do during school and after school ... our capacity was just — we were at the max," Flowers said.
The refrigerator is larger than what the department previously had and makes catering operations more efficient, he said.
"I really like it and it does help us a lot because before ... it was hard for us when we did catering," Austin said.
She said before the expansion the students could not do as much preparation work ahead of time because they could not easily store the trays of prepped food.
"I think it is going to help us a lot with business because we can properly store more food," Austin said.
She said the improvements in the kitchen are giving students a better feel for working in a professional kitchen.
"For one thing, we can store our food properly," Flowers said. "If you ever looked into our cooler (walk-in) before on a big day for catering we would have food stacked up from the floor to the ceiling. We've extended our cooler by 11 feet."
The new cooler is also more energy efficient. Flowers said the cooler that was replaced was installed in 1972. He said the renovation was funded through capital outlay money.
Hicks said the changes were a little overwhelming at first, because many things were in different places.
"I'm loving the cooler, everything that's going on in the back, our new spice rack," Hicks said.
He said the new system is working well.
Both seniors plan to continue their culinary education at the college level. Austin has been accepted to Sullivan University. Hicks said he has applied to a few programs, but has not heard back yet.
"I've actually debated between one or two things and I came to the conclusion that culinary is the one thing I want to do for the rest of my life," Hicks said.
The project began when classes ended for Christmas.
Students were using the new cooler a week after they came back. However, organizing everything and putting the finishing touches in place took a lot longer. The students also run a restaurant every Thursday. There are five courses offered in the culinary department. There are currently 135 students in the culinary program.

Love this rug. It is exactly what I had hoped for and looks just like the picture. Highly recommend it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Oh, so beautiful! It is thicker and more luxuriant than I expected. The middle design is different - maybe because I bought a 3x5 instead of larger, but that's okay with me. The colors are perfect. The blue goes well with the Wedgewood blue in my house. The rust/red is a beautiful accent color and it looks just fabulous on my new wood floor.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This carpet is exactly what i was looking for...and the right price!! This is my 3rd purchase from rugs usa and i won't go anywhere else...fast delivery too!!!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.We really like his rug - we ordered a second one and also a large area rug like this for the family room. The yarn is thick and the colors are subtle. The runners lie down well.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Plush, well crafted, vibrant yet subtle color. And the price...unbelievable. Quick service, too. Great site and will recommend.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Rug is beautiful - excellent quality and perfect colors. However pattern is opposite of what was show. Interior is blue, trim is tan and edging is blue - still matches well.
Beautiful rug. Well made. But the blue color around the border is more of a country blue than a teal blue that it looks like on my computer, so I am returning it.
Rug is beautifully made but the colors on the website are brighter. When I received the rug the colors were more muted. Country Blue not the nice dark aqua/teal blue I thought it would be, so I'm returning it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Beautiful rug and an excellent buy! would definetely purchase my next rug from Rugs USA!
