(George Gojkovich/Getty Images)Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus was arrested in Upstate New York last week on misdemeanor and vehicle and traffic charges connected to a car race, according to James Staas of The Buffalo News. The arrest comes just a few weeks after he was arrested in Alabama on felony drug charges. The 24-year-old faces three misdemeanor and four vehicle and traffic charges, according to the report on Monday. The most serious charge is reckless endangerment, which could bring a year in jail because it is a Class A misdemeanor.ROSE: Denver Broncos' coach thinks Peyton Manning can play three to five more yearsDareus was allegedly involved in a race that ended with property damage and he reportedly left the scene before police arrived. He was arrested last Friday afternoon but at the time there was no indication of what the charges were related to for the Bills' defensive tackle.Dareus, who was named to the Pro Bowl in 2013, is already facing a possible suspension from the NFL for the synthetic marijuana and drug paraphernalia he was found to be in possession of when he was pulled over recently by Alabama State Police.Last Wednesday, just two days before he was arrested, Dareus was quoted by The Buffalo News as saying he's not a "trouble guy.""They believe in me. They know that I'm not a trouble guy. They know I'm not the type of person that's trying to look for any trouble. I'm not trying to do anything. Things happen and we're moving forward and they know I'm going to grow into the guy they want me to be."SI WIRE: Report: Dolphins owner says L.A. will get NFL team 'certainly within five years' Promoted Stories Comments

How should I trim this window?
Cheryl NelsonFebruary 21, 2013
Since the cabinets are knotty hickory? I am confused as to what to trim this window in.....or the rest of the room as far as that goes. Thoughts?
Curb Appeal Renovations
you would either trim it out the same as your crown/baseboards, which I can't see, or trim it out with the same wood as your cabs. It's personal preference here. How have you trimmed out the other windows that are near this? I'd probably do the same.
Custom Home Planning Center
you could carry your back splash tile or stone as the around window trim and end it with a crown across the window top.then at the top of the cabinets for a consistent finish

- Waynesville's electric system is a cash cow for the town, but can the good fortune continue?
Finding a new home for the Folkmoot sculpture in downtown Waynesville has taken a new turn.
The Waynesville public art commission initially proposed moving the art piece across the street — from its current spot in front of the new town hall to the old town hall.
When the art commission asked the town to sign off on the move earlier this month, however, the town board had a different idea.
The board agreed that the structure must be moved but felt old town hall wasn't fitting for several reasons. One was there simply is not enough room. The other was lack of visibility to adequately showcase the piece. Plus, the town board expressed concerns that the "disco-ball effect" created by spinning flags on top of the statue would irritate people in adjacent office buildings.
Such complaints by the police department was one of the reasons for moving it in the first place. There have also been occasions when one or more of the flags has fallen off the statue because of high winds that whip by it.
Town board members are strongly considering placing it somewhere on the grounds of the historic courthouse and justice center — a prominent locale for a sculpture celebrating one of Waynesville's most well known festivals. The art piece features a flowing, banner-like dancer with seven flags that turn in the wind to represent the famed international dance and music festival.
The statue was installed at its current location in 2009 and was created by renowned artist Wayne Trapp.

Almost a month ago we did a Kentucky common, don't have the recipe hAndy (it's all the way downstairs), but I know it was pale 2-row, acid malt, chocolate rye, rye, and flaked corn mashed low. We did a single hop addition at 60. And added some whiskey chips for a week. It's been in bottles for a week, but at bottling we were sipping on warm flat beer and really enjoying it. The beer is named after a very famous Porsche 550 as the beer tried to kill me several times on brewday.
Brewed my version of this beer on Saturday. Recipe as follows: 11 Gallon Batch 13# Weyermann Pilsner Malt 4.25# Flaked Corn 2.5# Rye Malt 0.25# Crystal 120L 0.25# Midnight Wheat (550L) 2# of rice hulls 1.5 Tbsp of pH 5.2 1oz Cascade 5.8 AAU at 60 min 1.5 oz Cascade 6.9 AAU at 35 min, total IBU ~ 23 yeast: Wyeast 1272 (American Ale II), made a 1.5 liter starter on Thursday night. Yeast cake in bottom of Erlenmeyer flask of ~ 3/4". Xenia, OH water - very hard, not sure how this will affect the taste. May have to use RO water next time add some salts back. Mashed in at 148F for 1 hr. Hit the temp right on. Due to sticky mash, left in mash tun an extra 15 min while mixing in an additional lb of rice hulls (2# total). Gravity before boil - 13.5 gal in boil kettle was 1.040 by refractometer. Boiled for an hour. Ended with 11 gallons at 1.047 SG. Fermenting at 60F. Signs of active fermentation within 6 hours. Krausen head is ~ 1" in both fermenters.
I brewed this recipe about a month or so. I brewed 11 gallons and split the batch with 2 different yeast, US-05 and WLP 080 Cream ale blend. Both 2 very different beers, loved both. The US-05 seemed more crisper, more rye pronounced. and the WLP080 had more body more balanced. The us-05 is gone, and the other is maybe a few pulls from being empty. I will be doing this recipe again, probably try a another yeast. Thanks for a great recipe. Here is my glass full.. Thought the glass to be quite fitting.
I've never heard of the cream ale blend. I'd be interested to try this recipe with it. Thanks for the idea!
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Kraeusen fell during the night. Very little bubbler activity. I am going to let it go a few more days (1 full week) in primary then move into a secondary. I used the thief to draw out a sample. Gravity was higher than I wanted (1.016). I'll recheck in a few days. The taste was pretty good, and yes, some of the sour came through after the yeast brought down the sugar. However, the sour is still way too hidden. Next time I'm going to at least double the sour mash portion. There is a bit of weird, but hard to discern, nose. I'll wait to see if it is an infection or a feature of the sour mash. I plan to secondary on wood soaked in sour mash whiskey, but I'll definitely taste it first. I have part of today's sample cold crashing in the fridge to see what happens with the lower temperature and the yeast out of suspension.
So, this morning I transferred this beer to secondary. I added some oak chips that had soaked in Sour Mash Whiskey all week. I'm planning on leaving it in secondary for two weeks before bottling. The fermented flat beer was very drinkable. The sourmash comes through only slightly so next time I'll bump it up. It has a very nice clean finish--my wife's two cents worth. I can't wait until it finishes and carbonates.
Where else..Wal-mart
Getting ready to brew this, and quite frankly, pretty excited about it. I've had a couple commercial/brewpub examples of Kentucky Commons over the years and really liked them. Unfortunately the one that I liked the most I can't remember where I had it (I travel a lot for work). Like yours it wasn't soured, and might be the only one that I've had that wasn't. A question on the vitals though, 1.010 with a mash temp of 148, that FG seems a bit high for a mash temp of 148? Beersmith predicts 1.006. I don't blindly follow software, but my system pretty much tracks dead nuts on with what Beersmith says will happen, so I'm going to up the temp a bit to hit 1.010 unless I hear otherwise.
My version of the Kiss Yer Cousin has only been in secondary for two days and I discovered yesterday when we got back from church, that my wife had left the closet door open on the fermentation chamber (walk-in closet). The door is fronted by a large very sunny window. So, needles to say I imagined everything in fermenters being skunked. Rather than panic (or rather than panicking a lot) I decided to relax (after I finished the final nuclear meltdown) and see what happens. The window is a bathroom window so it is fogged to block view and has UV protection. This morning I decided to sniff the carboy opening to see if there was any skunk aroma. The smell of this beer is awesome. I added bourbon soaked oak chips to the beer two days ago (along with a sour mash infusion in the boil) and can't wait to see what this will become. I will probably sample with the thief this next Saturday. I plan on letting it sit for two weeks but may find the discipline to let it sit for three (especially if I notice the oak doing good things to the flavor).


text: THE LAST HARVEST explores the lives and times of Muslim immigrants from Yemen who settled in California's San Joaquin Valley. Yemeni migrant workers started coming to the United States in the post-1965 era when the new immigration law opened the gates to non-Europeans. While most settled in the Detroit area, a small band of villagers from the mountainous Ibb region found work in the San Joaquin Valley where they tended the vineyards that produce a yearly bounty of internationally renowned table grapes. At the peak of the sojourn migration, some 5000 Yemenis were employed in the fields. Today only several hundred remain. This is their story.

Summoner Wars review
I'm not a big fan of the board game or the iOS game.
The boardgame is a decent, somewhat chess-like, tactical game for 2 players, but I never enjoyed it that much. The iOS game is only good if you can play online multiplayer. The AIs are weak, so you can't play against them for long. Pass and play multiplayer is also a hassle, because you have to look away at certain moments during the other player's turn (but you need to see other parts of their turn). Reply 0 -
Beastie Bay review
I played this for around an hour and, while it's one of the better free to play games out there, in the end it is a free to play game with all that entails. I like my mobile gaming to happen fast, so any game where I have to wait for stuff with nothing to do is a big no no. Also, any game where you can pay to win to a degree, but you don't know how much would be 'fair' and how much would be too much. Reply 0

Why I Hate... The Saboteur
Slightly off-topic, I find some of the statements in the article to be hyperbolic and incorrect.
"worst genocide in human history" - actually, it's the third worst as far as we know (Stalin and Mao both beat Hitler); we also don't have very good figures for some older genocides, which may or may not have been bigger than the Holocaust
"If this were a film I think it might have been banned, not just slammed by critics." - certainly not; just look at Uwe Boll's Postal to see a film that is more stupid and more insulting, without having been banned; In fact, can films be banned? Aren't they protected by freedom of speech?
I get it, you hate the game, but you're not doing yourself any favors by writing an article that's just as lacking in nuance and subtlety. Reply +2 -

Braben: Kinect as accurate as control pad
The negativity in this thread is rather surprising. Kinectimals seems to be the best Kinect launch title - certainly the only one that got me interested.
I also can't agree to the idea that, if money would not be an issue, all developers would choose to make games about killing stuff. Or that, by making something else other than a sequels to their most successful game, a developer is selling out. If anything, I think it's the other way around.
If you can't see the attraction yourself, fair enough, but do allow for the fact that other people do. I think that a game about playing with adorable little animals is an excellent idea and I support it. Reply 0 -
YourShape - first 15 minutes
In all the Kinect videos, the menus look like a real pain to use. There were several moments at the beginning of this one where for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was going wrong and why Ellie's decision (which I could identify) wasn't understood correctly by the game. Reply 0
I've just watched the video and, I have to say, it's damn charming. The small gamey bit was actually kind of terrible, but the whole thing is so cute and childish in a good way that I actually felt a bit of the sense of wonder that I used to feel as a kid. The people who made the art, the animations and the 'story'+voice-over did a great job. Reply +1
Sid Meier's Civilization V
I feel that at least a few people here are exaggerating the problems with the AIs of the Civilization and Total War games. These games have always been enjoyable and have always worked. Sure, the AI is never as smart as a human, but it keeps the game going and it even gains a certain personality (mostly because the player projects it, but still; Ghandi makes many friends, Isabella is a religious freak etc.; it works).
I haven't played Civ V yet and this isn't the only review to mention weird behavior in regards to war, but suddenly hearing people that all Civ games suck and they've never improved the AI and so on is ridiculous. I can't think of a game series that I love more than Civ and they've always worked, even the third one, which most people consider the weakest.
Number IV, which is considered the best, also had a number of bugs at release that were fixed through patches (for instance, space victory was initially very overpowered) and some weaker areas that were fixed by the expansion packs. But it was still really good from the start.
(On an unrelated note, what's the problem with dead turns? Just press the 'end turn' button.) Reply +4 -

The Science of Just Dance
"In truth, making 'simple' games should be the highest ambition of any game designer, if by 'simple' we mean stripping a game back to the pure essentials where any person from any walk of life can experience something fun and engaging."
I think this is very, very true and it doesn't refer to dumbing down at all. Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite example of how something very deep and engaging can be achieved with simple, clean and easily understandable mechanics. It requires a lot of thought to create something like that, it is not easier than creating something complicated and with a million rules. Reply +12 -
Kotick, a flight attendant, and $1.4m
Speaking of hilarious phrases, Kotick's new lawyer is bundles of fun.
"second-hand accounts of three-year-old private conversations and statements made during attorney-client meetings that Mr. Kotick did not make and therefore are inaccurate, highly inflammatory and taken out of context"
It's funny how those statements that mister Kotick did not make can be three years old or can be taken out of context. Reply +6 -
Am I the only one who finds the wording of the article very confusing?
This paragraph, for instance: "The dispute stemmed from a January 2007 lawsuit brought by flight attendant Cynthia Madvig against Kotick, Andrew Gordon of Goldman Sachs, Cove Management, the company the pair created to manage their co-owned Gulfstream III private jet, and pilot Phil Berg."
Maybe I'm thick, but it took me a long time to understand what that meant. As far as I can tell, there should be an "and" instead of the comma before Cove management, at least. It could have benefited even further from being split into several shorter phrases, as that one is just a mess. Reply +5 -

I knew before clicking that this wasn't going to be worth reading.
It's quite obvious that they're not in the stage where they can talk about the content of the game, but they are in a stage where they need some coverage in order to gather marketing momentum... The interview had no chance of revealing something interesting.
Elie, could have done better, though. She tried to approach this one seriously (thanks God!), but she didn't manage to find many interesting questions. Some of the questions are so generic it's embarrassing. FFS, she event asked what he thinks about the motion controller! (And, surprise, he doesn't give a crap.)
And he didn't try very hard to make it interesting either. He seems to have tried to come up with the shortest possible answer to every question. You can see this right from the first answer, where he could have expanded more in regard to what they analyzed, but he just couldn't be bothered. Reply 0 -

Student demos clever head-tracking
Kanga, I've seen this argument before, but, to be honest, it really doesn't look like there are many good ways to use this kind of system. The technology for this has been possible for quite some time, but there just aren't that many good applications of it.
If you look at Minority Report and the Minority Report inspired interface in Quantum of Solace, it's quite obvious that a mouse would have been much more useful.
The only use for this that I've seen so far is in flight simulator games, where they use this to move the view around the plane. It helps immersion, which those sim geeks loooove, and it also makes things slightly easier for them, since a flight sim has so many controls already. The ArmA 2 link above is an example, and I think with ArmA they already took it someplace where it's not of much use.
Edit: Nosebag above just contradicted my statement about ArmA and TrackIR. But I bet he's a sim geek :P. Reply 0 -

Wii reviewers are the problem - Braben
Some thoughts:
- The title of the article is a shame. Braben made a very nuanced and careful analysis, which in no way states what the title claims.
- He isn't even saying that reviewers should do something different. As he says, they review the game for their readership, and their readership is hardcore.
- He says that review score matter for Wii games aimed at the hardcore gamers and I agree. But I wonder exactly how many hardcore gamers have Wiis. Sadly, it may not be enough to sustain this part of the market (good Wii games).
- I can't help but feel that some games end up falling through the cracks in between the Wii's markets. Take Boom Blox. It's a good game, but it's also casual, so hardcore gamers won't buy it anyway. It's casual, but it doesn't make for an easy sell towards a casual audience like, I'm afraid, Carnival: Funfair Games does. The theme and how you transmit it is what sells a casual game and Boom Blox, starting with the name and continuing with the concept, doesn't capture the imagination.
- Man, industry insiders like to talk shit. (And I'm not talking about Braben.)
- The situation is exactly the same for films. Roger Ebert may think that A Night at the Museum sucks balls and his readers, people who care enough about films to read reviews mostly believe the same, but the majority, the 'casuals', don't care and they go see it anyway (and they enjoy it, too).

HEART GRENADE (16mm color) is a hybrid narrative / dance CalArts MFA thesis film. Dir. Hanul Bahm. Executive Producer: Guy Maddin.
About this project
HEART GRENADE (16mm color, 25 min.) is a hybrid narrative / dance short, directed by Hanul Bahm and executive produced by Guy Maddin. The film is a cinematic and choreographic interpretation of Pharoah Sanders' jazz instrumental, "Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord."
The film traces the waking and dream life a counter worker at a 24 hour Los Angeles donut shop, and the night creatures he serves: transgendered sex workers, a cab driver, day laborers, etc. Each encounter shifts him this particular night. Exhausted, he gets off of work and boards a bus to go home. On the bus, he's overtaken by an inner vision. This part is choreographed by Jay Jackson and set in the West Fork of the San Gabriel River.
The Pharoah Sanders song can be found in 3 parts on YouTube. This is the live, 1971 version recorded in Nice, France. Pharoah has granted his personal blessing to interpret his song.

I think many of you remember yesterday with foggy rose colored glasses. Those Pats Super bowl clubs struggled too, in the Marathon to the Super Bowl. This club is much better than when it began the season. Then it was not being able to pass; or last years club at the end of the season that couldn't run. Earlier, Brady had to introduce himself to the WRs in the huddle before each pass play. Every game there was a new guy. The passing was atrocious, and Brady was completing 52% of his passes and most were dump offs. Now he is back at his historical 63% completion rate, which means he has been recently completing passes at a higher percentage ,than he ever did before, to get back up there. There is still a quarter of a season before the Tourney in which to improve and they are doing so. Out depth is depleted now, but it has served its purpose. We are twelve games into the season, lead our division by two with four to go, and have 11 guys on IR, but we still have no glaring holes anywhere, yet. Not many other clubs can say that at this time of year. For instance, the Colts have no Stokely and no Clark and they aren't scoring 40 points a game. They have a glaring hole where Corey Simon, and Larry Triplett used to be. The Phish have no Rickey, no Brown, no running backs, and no O line, and their star DE is dinged up and Chambers has disappeared. The Broncs have conceded the season, and are breaking in a rookie QB. The Bolts are having problems at WR, and Gates isn't the superstar TE any more. Keenan is showing his age, IMO. They are having to stage spectacular rallies to pull out games in the fourth quarter, and not come back from a single score down, but three or four down... The Bears are suffering with youngster Rex GROSSman and gross he has been. The Giants team is in the infirmary, and they are losing and sliding out of the playoffs. So are the Philly hopes dashed as McNabb is gone and no running game exists to partially tide them over. The Ravens offense is still quite offensive, it is still struggling even after importing McNair and firing Fassell. The Bengals are still running weekly pickups to the local jail to see if some players are getting out of stir for the next game. Its a battle of the walking wounded, but the Pats, bowed but upright, are still fielding a more complete team than the other contenders. :rocker:
You're giving short shrift to the Bengals and the Chargers, the latter of which has not offended any worse than the Patriots in recent weeks. If we're "bowed but upright," they must be as well. I think your strongest points are about the Colts, but they had the same problems last time we played them and they acquited themselves well. There's no reason at this point to get ****y and flash the horns.

Armatix pistol / wristwatch combo tells time... to stay put -- EngadgetArmatix has apparently been working on its so-called "smartgun" concept for quite a while, but it's now finally shown up at the Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT, naturally) with its first actual product: a .22-caliber pistol that relies on a wristwatch as a safety. As you can probably figure out, the gun will only unlock itself when its in close proximity to the watch, which sends a "wireless arming signal" that, of course, also activates some green LEDs for good measure. Previous incarnations of the company's concept also relied on a fingerprint ID as an additional safety, but that seems to have been left off this production model, which will run 7,000 (or $9,700) when it starts shipping next month
And from Armatix Website...
Armatix GmbH: Smart System
With Armatix SmartGun concept is the accessibility and use a firearm of only the person alone possible, authorized to do so. This novel approach is revolutionizing the security in the use of firearms in incredible ways. If the arms are from, stolen during a service or get lost, is automatically disabled and unusable.
Radio bracelet.
To enable the radio watch, fingerprint of the person entitled to the strap must be read first.
An internal database compares the current fingerprint with stored clip-marks and decides on the share.
Armatix Smartgun: System benefits.
Among experts no doubt that a SmartGun solution in conjunction with biometrics is useful. The modular design with a biometric sensor in the bracelet offers a variety of benefits.
Scharfschalten or disable the weapon is only by proximity or remove ("hands-free"), within seconds. That is, once the biometric station once activated, the Scharfschalten users must take no additional action. Also the recognition is automatic removal of hand.
Any number of weapons can be brought freely with a biometric tag. Similarly, multiple users on a weapon may be permitted (e.g. all members of a police unit). Each activation of the weapon is logged, a tag can be disabled in seconds.
For example the bracelet is from or arranged, of tags and thus the weapon is disabled on a automatically. After a defined time interval, the weapon is always disabled when it is near a tag.
The gun can be operated with gloves or excessive dirt. In addition, biometric sensors are sensitive and relatively expensive components, so that it is appropriate to integrate them directly into the weapon.
Combining the benefits of biometrics (unique mapping to persons) so with the benefits of RFID (Setup in a few milliseconds, handsfree operation).

Is It Worth It to Join a CSA?
by Dana Angelo White in Uncategorized, April 17, 2009
Earth Month usually means green-living trends top the headlines. One thing you might be hearing about is CSAs, or community-based agricultural programs. I'm always singing the praises of my local CSA. To which most reply, "What's that?" Well, here's why I think they're so darn fabulous.
First of all, CSA stands for "community supported agriculture." By joining a CSA, members basically buy a portion (or share) of a local farm's harvest for the year. You pay an initial fee in exchange for a weekly box of fresh and seasonal items. Some CSA programs also offer members the chance to work off their share by helping out on the farm. You might pick up your goodies at the farm or a designated pick-up spot (some CSAs even offer home delivery).
What you get in your share will vary depending on the specific farm, but offerings typically include fruit and vegetables as well as baked goods, dairy and eggs — even honey and flowers may be available. My CSA offers a choice of fruits, vegetables, flowers or a combination of the three. Of course, the variety depends on the seasonality; as it becomes available on the farm, it will show up in your CSA box.
To join a CSA, talk to your local farmer or look on the farm's website to see if they offer a program (not all farms do). You can also find a local CSA by plugging your zip code into the Local Harvest website. (Read more about the growing number of CSA groups in this New York Times article.)
The Pros
Farmers really benefit from this community support. At the same time, the consumer benefits by getting the freshest local foods available throughout the year. Even though you're putting up a significant amount of money, you get a ton of produce each week so you'll save money in the long run.
One of my favorite things about my weekly CSA box is I never know what's going to be in it, and I'm forced to be creative with the contents. On the rare occasion that I don't know what something is, I just email my farmer, and she fills me in and gives me great ideas about what to do with it. A word of warning: CSA boxes can contain more food than you know what to do with. You may want to join with a friend (or 2) — this will cut down the cost too — or make time for canning and freezing (then you get the veggies year-round).
The Cons
Unfortunately, CSA programs are still hard to find in some areas. Some can be extremely expensive, so you need to do your homework to make sure you're getting the best program for your money. I've seen prices vary anywhere from $300-$1000 a year. You also don't have control over what you'll get in your weekly box. Farmers decide what they have enough of to go around (they might save certain items for sale at the farmers' markets). A large, weekly box of foods can get overwhelming and give you more than you know what to do with, which leads to waste.
Bottom Line: Joining a CSA is a wonderful way to support local agriculture and buy fresh and affordable produce, but it's a big commitment. If you're new to buying local foods, you may want to start by shopping at your local farmers' market or farm stand weekly before signing up for a CSA. You'll still reap all the benefits of local (and fresh!) foods and help support your community.

The CSA' here locally is $825 per May thru October. Being on a fixed income and watching every penny, that is more than I can spend at one time. They have a payment schedule of $300 deposit by May, $300 by July and $260 by September. Too rich for my blood.
Any suggestions?

We are in a CSA for the first time this year. We're looking forward to our membership providing most of our veggie needs, supplemented by the local farmer's market if necessary. It will be exciting to open our box to see what is inside!!

Georgia Perimeter College Cost-Effectively Elevates Student Service With Hosted CRM System
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Georgia Perimeter College (GPC) wanted to enable the rapidly growing college to better serve students by providing them with a single and readily available source for complete and consistent information about admissions, courses, financial aid, and additional information and answer student services departments' main telephone numbers, thus freeing those staff members to focus on assisting students face-to-face and addressing more complex student inquiries. GPC deployed Oracle CRM On Demand as the information foundation for the college's new Contact Center and created a "One-stop" environment utilizing the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and other tools that enable Customer Solutions Associates to quickly and reliably find the answers to students' questions, thus eliminating the need for students to call departments multiple times and await call backs.

Is anybody having any new issues with stuttering or jumpy pictures tonight? I came home this afternoon and for some reason the AM21 OTA HD Tuner wasn't powered on and I had to reboot everything. Once I did, the local channels using the AM21 are unwatchable - the picture and sound stutters about once or twice a second. Even on the regular HD channels (i.e. CNN) the picture is slightly jumpy. I've unplugged everything and let sit for a while and restarted twice, but to no avail.
A program isn't built on one player and it doesn't succeed because of one player, thus a program won't fail if it doesn't get that one player.
Had this a couple of weeks ago, call customer service and they walked me thru reactivating the system, was not a rebooot, took longer to run thru the setup...If you haven't called yet , that is your best solution

Nurse Practitioner Program for an RN w/ ASN without EXPERIENCE?
0 Hi,
I will be graduating with my RN (ASN) by the end of this year. I have a Bachelor's in Respiratory from a Nationally Accredited School. I really want to become a Nurse Practitioner and want to continue with my schooling right after I finish my RN license.
Does anyone know any MSN- FNP program or any RN to MSN Bridge Program that would accept my BS in RT from a Nationally Accredited School and DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY EXPERIENCE?
It doesn't really matter how much the tuition is or where it will be. I can relocate anywhere in the US.
Thank you so much for your help!!!

Sound Lag
These earphones are great for running, they fit very well, are light and the sound is fantastic. Unfortunately they have a huge f These earphones are great for running, they fit very well, are light and the sound is fantastic. Unfortunately they have a huge flaw, whenever you watch video back, be it from an iPhone, PC, Mac, TV anything at all it has about a 2 second delay so everything is out of Sync. I have spoken to Beats support and they feel that the issue is all of the other manufactures need to issue an update to fix this. I explained that all of the other bluetooth headphones I own do not have this problem and work fine with iPhone, Mac Tv etc. Even a little £25 Sony Bluetooth dongle works better than these £170 earphones.
If you just want them for running then go for it, they sound good and fit well. Don't touch them if you want to use them for watching Video however. In my opinion and at this price they need to do both and these simply don't.
Needless to say mine are being returned to Apple tomorrow for a refund.... …- Written by Dan E from Beaconsfield

Best Fit but very occasional drop in connection

For many I've generally found p I've bought a number of earphones specifically for use when running both on road and a treadmill. For many I've generally found poor fitting not only annoying but also negatively effects the quality of the sound by reducing the bass. My last wireless pair were Jaybird Bluebird X which tend to bounce out of your ear and if you wear the wire up and over your ears as it suggests, the wire keeps bouncing off the back of your neck which is more than a little annoying. I've had the latest Beats wireless earphones for 4 weeks using them pretty much every other day for running and the fit is the best I've experienced from both wired and wireless earphones. You can choose the size of bud and then just push in your ears with the fitting over the back of each ear, then a simple twist and they snugly lock into place. The sound has a great bass which now you can adjust equalisation if you are playing music using the latest Spotify app - however having tried you don't really need to adjust the sound as the fit and sound quality of these earphones are so good anyway.
The controls seem very sturdy especially compared to my wired Beats earphones that are very plastic and fragile in comparison. You can easily control volume and track play/pause/forward/back. You can also shorten the ear to ear cable that sits comfortably on the back of your neck.
The only slight downside is the occasional loss of connection. You don't need to do anything as it sorts itself out but I have experienced an occasional drop of sound or jump in the track which I've not experienced with other Bluetooth headsets. It's not really a big deal as it is more of an occasional thing rather than constant occurrence. I wear my iphone around my waist so if you have a wrist case this may not be an problem anyway, however this is why it's a 4 star rather than 5 in my book. …- Written by Richard H from KIDDERMINSTER

Would be great wireless headphones if they worked
Since December i have had 3 pairs of these headphones. The 1st pair broke when I was plugin the charging cable into them, basical Since December i have had 3 pairs of these headphones. The 1st pair broke when I was plugin the charging cable into them, basically the case of the headphone just came apart in my hand. Took them back to my local apple store and they happily changed them. Used my replacement pair for a week at the gym, ran out of charge went to charge them up, but nothing. Lights come on to indicate charging then they go off. Couldn't get them to charge after this.
Again went back to apple store and this time changed them for another brand of headphone, I found these did not fit as good as the powerbeats so returned them for another pair of powerbeats thinking surely these cant fail a third time. But yes they did fail, again after using for a few work outs in the gym they needed charging, when i went to charge them the light came on then nothing wouldn't charge. After this i just got a full refund.
if they worked i would highly recommend them for gym use but they do not. They fit great and don't move while you work out. They take a little to get used to the way they fit in your ear but after a couple of uses its fine. Sound wise no complaints from me fine for gym use which is what they are aimed at, you can hear external noise but that's for safety reasons and they are not meant to be sound cancelling. The wire between the head phones could be made from a different material as it can pull on your neck a little at times. But all this is irrelevant if they stop working after a week.
Such a shame as i thought they were really good headphones, perfect for gym use. Would of given 5 stars if they worked. …- Written by Geoff R from Crook
