PUNXSUTAWNEY — Two days after a devastating fire destroyed a borough landmark, officials are still investigating the cause of the blaze that nearly leveled the Punxsy Hotel along North Findley Street.
Cpl. Chuck Gross, Punxsutawney-based Pennsylvania State Police Fire marshal, said he was "looking for clues as to how the fire began" Monday in the kitchen area of the Smuggler's Inn, which is attached to the Hotel.
Council: No tax increase in 2012
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Punxsutawney Borough Police Chief Tom Fedigan was granted a new four-year contract at Monday's meeting, but it was not unanimous.
The vote was four council members in favor of the motion — Susan Glessner, Donna Lellock, William Spencer and Roger Steele — with Larry Chenoga and Mike Porada voting no.
Council member Robert Reesman did not vote, as he had left the meeting early due to illness.
Also at Monday's meeting, council:
• Approved the 2012 budget with no tax increase.
BROOKVILLE — With only a smile and very few words, nine-year-old Michael Goddard can light up a room and make anyone feel special.
"He says hi to everybody," Paula Goddard said of her son, Michael. "No matter what they look like, or how old they are, or what color they are, it doesn't matter."
Michael has Down syndrome, and because of this, he has difficulty speaking.
But he doesn't let that get in the way of showing others love and compassion.
"He's really special," Paula said. "He's taught us a lot, on how to love unconditionally — just to accept people for who they are."

I need help with many things!!! Pricing and pincusion stuffing...
Two things: Pricing questions and how to questions about 2 items
In another post I talked about having a craft show in a friend's home. Another friend came up with the idea of her friends making some brooches or other small things and donating the money if they sell to "the house" to help her out.
1. So I made these 7 kanzashi flowers from fabric I had already. I did a quickie/easy center with hot glued buttons and a couple cute shapes I got on etsy.
Can I just hot glue the brooch pin to the back or should I sew it on (to the felt circle). AND what should I charge? Or maybe I should ask first do you think they will sell? I held them up to my shirt and the look very pretty.
The are about 3 1/2 inches accross. I will try to make at least 5 more.
2. I also want to make some pincushion/ornaments from canning jar lids, like the one below which belongs to my friend Susan. What would be the best thing to stuff a pincushion with? I'm not sure just regular poly fill is the best. Its probably too early to ask for a price idea since I haven't made any yet.
I love the whimsy of sea shells on a sewing aid.
Cute flowers & nicely done. I think I would sew the pins on the back neatly as i think it will look more professional. if they turn it over & it is stuck in glue they might think it is easy to do.(my thinking anyway!LOL) Love the pincushion. I would try just covering a lid with any old piece of cloth & stuff it full(can hold cloth on with large safety pin pulled over whole thing(not making myself clear- this is just to see how pins go in-GF just made a cotton Sugar & Spice pin cushion-Didn't work so well, the cotton yarn doesn't want to accept pins, it is crocheted. So she used acrylic yarn & made another,needles & pins go in great. The pincushions are kind of like a sock that fits over a glass to absorb sweat from the glass-imagine that you make 3 sizes & each smaller than last & put large 1 on outside, med. 1 in center & small one in center like a miniature 3 tiered cake-higher in the center(center open for thimble. Lesson is cotton yarn doesn't work, acrylic does. Foam wouldn't work, fiberfill might. Those store bought "tomatoes" that have a strawberry added full of pumice are full of some kind of polyfil or similar material. I'm too tired to be on here. Probably goggle "crocheted pincushions & come up with pattern. She copied mine that someone made me. Hope this makes sense! Jan
crete...they are very cute flowerpins...but I don't have a clue what they would sell for...I would also 'sew' on the pin.
Those canning lid ornies look very cute...have fun w/them. Sorry no $$$ advice for you...but wanted you to know I think they're really cute! Jeanne S.
One thing I've done to make pincushions is to cut a styrofoam ball in half the size of the jar lid. Cover it with fabric and glue to the lid with lace, etc. They make great pin cushions and save the work of stuffing and needles and pins don't get lost in the ball as they do in stuffing. Have fun! I also glue a weight of some kind, such as a metal washer to the bottom so the cushion sits better and doesn't tip over.
If you varied your fabric a little bit, those flowers would make awesome hair barrettes. Not sure on pricing. Unfortunally, stuff like this is usually worth more than you can get for it. You would have to sell it cheap.
Another idea would be to attach it to a thick elastic hair band. Have a display where you have a kids t-shirt hanging up. Gather the t-shirt bottom at the side and attach the hair band with flower. Not sure what to call this. I see girls including my dd do it all the time. I might charge $2 or $3 if you already own the fabric.
Your flower pins are very pretty. I sell some of them too. I make mine out of felt and also fabric. I sell mine for $3. and some people balk at that. I would sew and glue the pin backs on. I do that on all my fabric pins. I use e6000 glue because I don't like hot glue.
Yes, I got out the E6000 after I burned my fingers again...and again. I may use a combo. I think I will glue the pin with E6000 and then sew, thanks for the idea.
I'm thinking 4 or 5 dollars. Just folding the petals takes 10 minutes per flower, then there is sewing 10 together, and putting the flower together and the pin on, never mind ironing and cutting the fabric. Each one probably takes 20 minutes or more total.
If they don't sell for that, I'll stop making them and give my inventory as gifts or sell them more cheaply at my next sale to get rid of them.
Those turned out great I love them .I was reading on yahoo to day about using coffee ground for pin cushions sounds kind o neat.
Pin cushion filler Dried, used coffee grounds are the perfect filler for homemade pin cushions. Just wrap them in some scrap cloth, tie it off with a rubber band and place the cloth in an egg cup or other small container. The grounds will keep your pins from rusting, too.

BXS (Bancorpsouth, Inc) has been an Active Short Trade on the site since triggering an entry on a break below its primary uptrend line all the way back on July 17th. BXS went on to trigger a second short entry/add-on/sell signal just a few days later on an impulsive break below the large head & shoulders topping pattern, moving sharply lower from there until making a near perfect kiss of the second price target (T2) for a 18.1% gain.
From there, the stock immediately reversed but the trade has remained profitable since, recently reversing near the original entry price, and now looks poised for a resumption of a new thrust lower that will likely take BXS to at least the T2 area once again and quite possibly the third & final target at 18.30. While recently backtesting the original entry/breakdown level, BXS printed a clear & potentially powerful divergent high and just recently broke below a minor uptrend line as well.
click to here view the live, annotated daily chart of BXS
BXS will remain an Active Short Trade idea as well as a new Short Trade Setup, offering an objective entry or add-on around current levels, with a suggested stop above 23.70. I plan to update some of the other trade ideas on the site, including a few trades that have already exceeded their suggest stop levels.
Note: stopped-out trades will never be removed from the Active Trades category until an update is made & it has been posted that the trade will be removed. This helps to assure accountability as to prevent losing trades from just "vanishing".
As my priority lies in finding new trade opportunities, updating active trade ideas, and providing the latest market analysis, stopped out trades will often remain listed in the Active Trades category for some time until I get the time to update the older trade ideas, often "batching out" the stopped out or stale trades (i.e.- those that may be profitable but no longer look compelling) in a single update. When using the Trade Ideas on RSOTC, always read the most recent comments associated with each trade. All posts on every trade idea, past or present, can be easily referenced via the symbol tagging system.

Remember when you were a kid and pretending to be someone else was just a fun game? You can use the same idea in your small business to get to know your customer, up close and personal.
Knowing your customer is critical to the success of your business. You cannot create effective products, marketing copy and materials, processes, or ideas that will delight your customer if you don't understand her life, her worries, her skills, her dreams, and her goals.
Some years ago I read an article about a company that served aging customers. To give their employees the opportunity to get into the customer's head, they had them spend time wearing gloves and special glasses that impaired their vision.
I thought of this recently at the grocery store, as three young employees stood around chatting while an older woman in front of me struggled to put her overloaded plastic sacks into her cart. I stepped ahead and loaded the woman's cart for her.
If grocery stores were to give their employees the opportunity to spend a few hours working with glasses that impaired their vision, gloves that make their fingers fumble, and arm weights that make them difficult to lift, might they be more likely to help an older woman struggling in the future? I would be happy if they even learned the difference between weight and volume when they are loading a grocery bag to the splitting point!
Pretending to be your customer doesn't have to be a physical experience. It's even more fun to play Let's Pretend mentally.
Spend the day pretending to be someone else, to not know what you know, to try out someone else's dreams and worries. Look at your products with a stranger's eyes. What ideas for your small business come to mind? What questions do you have? What tasks could you easily accomplish as yourself but might puzzle your customers?
In your small business, the idea of playing Let's Pretend could seem like a waste of time. But you may be surprised if you immerse yourself in the game.
By going about your day as your customer, you will not just improve your current products, your marketing copy, or your web site; you may also generate profitable new small business ideas that will delight your real customers.

Today I want to let you in on another great truism of success not often discussed. Are you ready for it? You sure?
You might not like it. In fact, I am sure you won't like it. Because I don't. No great achiever does.
But it is a reality nonetheless. Here it is:Read More
WOW Beginnings (1 of 2)
In part 1 of this week's series, I want to talk to you about WOW beginnings—businesses where young entrepreneurs hit it big early.
I want to share one such story with you. One disclaimer: I have a certain weakness for the business I am about to share with you…but more on that later.
In the summer of 1978 two friends, lets call them Cohen and Greenfield, opened a makeshift ice cream parlor in an abandoned gas station in northern Vermont of all places. Read More

In Honor of a Hero: Louis Zamperini
I am often asked who was my favorite interview of all time.
And to this day it still stands as Louis Zamperini.
It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart to say that the war hero and former olympian passed away on Wednesday at the age of 97:
In honor of what we celebrate here in the US tomorrow, Zamperini is a great symbol of the fight for freedom in our country. Read More

Sales Consultant Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 days – interviewed at CarMax.
Long Process. They ask interview questions about prior customer service and sales experience and then you role play selling a car in the showroom.
- They send an email out helping you to prepare for the face to face. They show you three cars that will be there for you to potentially sell at the role play, but when I arrived none of those same vehicles were there on the site. Answer Question

Sales Consultant InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 3+ weeks – interviewed at CarMax.Interview Details
I applied 9 months prior for a p/t sales position and inquired on their budgeted headcount (open positions) and they stated that they were hiring for anticipation of attrition. After the phone interview I had to reschedule the in person interview. I called in and was transferred around to voice mail. The next day I received an email saying, "Thanks for interviewing with us, we have decided to go in another direction..." That made me believe that this was a revolving door and that their recruitment team was extremely weak. (Like most corporations today.)
When the position was advertised again, I applied, made it through the phone interview. (easy questions like "Tell me a time when.." Scheduled for an in person interview nearly 2 weeks after the phone interview. At the in person interview, I had to interview with what seemed like every manager at the location. The ask the same questions, review policies and make you sign and initial massive amounts of paperwork through the interview process. You may wait in the lobby in between interviews. They have a paper/policy you sign stating that if you ever sue them prior to going through their arbitration process you will be liable for their attorney fees and court costs.
After 4.5 hours a manager offers me the position, I accept, and escorts me to the shop bathroom and hands me a cup to pee in. This was extremely tacky.
Managers were very friendly, no surprising questions, behavioral based interview questions. You will have to do a mock sale of a car with a walk around a real vehicle in a role play environment, but they give you specific instructions prior to the in person interview.Interview Questions

- The first interview is an interrogation where you are asked if you lied about anything on your application, now is the time to change it. If you left any employers out, now is the time to change it. Have you ever stole from an employer? Are you eligible for rehire at the last 7 years of employment? Answer Question

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at CarMax in February 2014.Interview Details
Applied online, got a phone call a few days later. Had a phone interview and at the end was scheduled for an in person interview. You will then get an email with information about the interview and what should be expected. It's actually very helpful information. The interview consists of talking with a few different managers. If you make it through all the managers, about 3+ hours later, you will get a job offer on the spot. If you did not get an offer, you did not get the job. Unfortunately, I feel as if the last manager who interviewed me was ignoring me right off the bat. During my answers, he was talking to other employees from across the room. I feel as if I was disregarded before I even answered the questions. I didn't get the job, but I truly feel it was unfair. I don't think it is like this everywhere, as most of the managers and employees seemed really nice, but it just so happened that the last person to interview me didn't seem like he was in the mood to listen to anything I had to say.Interview Questions

Very unprofessional. Was originally called by an admin asst who left message. She finally returned my message 2 weeks after I called her back. Next step was phone interview which lasted about 1/2 hour. Nothing unexpected, basic interview questions. Next step was face-to-face interview. Was at CarMax for 4 hours as they basically conducted a "cattle-call" interview. There were 6 applicants and the actual interview lasted about 1/2 hour. . CarMax showed little respect for our time. Not sure why they couldn't stagger the interviews.Interview Questions

I applied online and got a call 3 days later. A sales manager called me for a phone interview, then face to face interview. Nothing too hard.Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
- No surprises. Just asked questions about my experience. Answer Question
This is a GREAT place to work for PART TIME work. If you work at a grocery store on top of this, then this can be a really profitable opportunity. As a salesmen that has been ranked top in the nation, I declined this because there is no selling involved here. It is a " Take it or leave it" kind of place. A Walmart for cars would be a better way of putting it. I really did not want to work here because I am a salesmen, and this is just a Walmart for cars.. On the OTHER HAND, I WILL buy my next car here, because the selection is beautiful. It felt like I was getting lost in a candy store.
It is 100% commission after training. Training pay is $12 an hour. On 100% commission here with a flat rate of $160 per car you sell, it would be hard to make a decent living here if it is your only job.Declined OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

I was sent a file to prepare for the in person interview. Upon arrival at carmax I was greeted by a man who took me to a computer to do another ridiculous questionnaire.

Researchers Develop "Tea Bag" Water Filter 119
from the steep-and-clean dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
"We cover the tea bag material with nano-structured fibres, and instead of tea inside the tea bag, we incorporate activated carbon.
"The function of the activated carbon is to remove most of the dangerous chemicals that you would find in water."
1. It would have to be one shot - I don't see that little bag filtering more than one bottle.Wouldn't that little bit of carbon be exhausted after 500ml?
2. The pour rate would have to be really slow so that the water stays in contact with the carbon long enough to absorb the toxic stuff. Five minutes+ for a cup of water??
3. It doesn't say anything about metals.
and does not make inappropriate sexual comments about Tea Partygoers.
I thought Teabaggers were all for restoring the rights given by the constitution, regardless as to whether what's being said doesn't agree with their worldview?
Oh, sorry, I got caught up in theory and rhetoric.
The charcoal filter would be good to use *after* you sanitized the water with chlorine bleach. Kill off the biologicals and then get rid of the chlorine taste.
1. Yes, that's the point (might be a bit more than 500ml).
2. Not everybody is as impatient as you seem to be.
3. It's good old activated carbon again. There's plenty of info out there...
2. The pour rate would have to be really slow so that the water stays in contact with the carbon long enough to absorb the toxic stuff. Five minutes+ for a cup of water??
5 minutes for water versus running to the toilet every 5 minutes. Good trade.

El Centro Dramático Galego estrena en el Salón Teatro el espectáculo 'Longa viaxe cara á noite', una versión de la conocida obra del premio Nobel estadounidense Eugene O'Neill que permanecerá en la cartelera compostelana hasta el 6 de abril. 'Longa viaxe cara á noite' es la producción central de la temporada 2013-14 de la compañía teatral de la Xunta de Galicia, que este año conmemora el trigésimo aniversario de su fundación.
Manuel Guede Oliva dirige este espectáculo. Gonzalo Uriarte, Luisa Merelas, Marcos Viéitez y Alberto Rolán dan vida a la familia Tyrone, transposición dramática de la propia familia O'Neill en este texto autobiográfico por el que el dramaturgo norteamericano fue reconocido de forma póstuma con su cuarto premio Pulitzer.
Every year, coinciding with the local holiday, Bembibre's Campo de la Feria hosts the "Día da Exaltación da Empanada" (Galician Pie Day). In order to carry out this popular event, the Municipality of Val do Dubra is helped by local bakeries, which exhibit their different varieties and recipes.
A gastronomy festival that is held in Carballeiro do Souto in the parish of San Fins de Sales (Vedra) with free tasting of pig's ear all day long, accompanied by musical performances. There are also stalls selling sweet "orejas," octopus, barbecued meat…
Coinciding with the second weekend in May, Oroso holds its Trout Festival, an event declared to be of Tourist Interest that has the objective of bringing together residents and visitors to enjoy a couple of festive days. The 18th festival will be held in 2014.
In 2015, the municipality of A Estrada will hold its 42th Salmon Festival, an event that pays tribute to the king of our river fishes.
The "Fiesta del Melindre y de la Repostería Tradicional de Terra de Melide" was declared a Festival of Tourist Interest in 2013. It is held every year on the second Sunday in May and its main venue is the Municipality of Melide's Praza do Convento, where exhibitors gather.
This is the municipality's festival with the greatest tradition and attendance. People are attracted by several activities: cultural (awards ceremony, exhibitions, tributes), sports (traditional games, cycling), gastronomic (traditional lunch) and recreational activities (inflatables and musical entertainment).
A gastronomy festival that began to be held in 1987, during the San Isidro de Carcacía festival. In recent years, it coincides with the Day of Galician Letters (May 17).
A Estrada's Cider Festival arose due to the existence of a tradition, in relation to boththe growing of apples and the making of cider. The festival was held for the first time in 2012 with the aim of bringing together all of Galicia's producers; cider makers from the entire Cantabrian coast were also present: Asturias, Zamora, Cantabria and the Basque Country.
A Estrada's San Xoán Festival, which is held in O Areal de Berres, is becoming more and more popular as one of the area's most attractive "San Juan" festivals.
The Municipality of A Estrada's local holiday, devoted to its patron saint, "San Paio," is held from June 26 to 29. During these four days, an extensive programme of recreational, sports, cultural and religious activities is carried out.
Since 1999, the town of Silleda has held this festival promoting ham foreleg, one of the area's characteristic products.
A characteristic festival beside the River Ulla, in the Agronovo Recreational Area (Vedra). A chub fishing competition is held at the same time.
On July 16, Melide celebrates the feast of El Carmen with a lot of emotion and devotion for the Saint, even though it is not a coastal town.
Every year more than 1,500 people gather to savour the biggest paella made in Galicia with 1,000 kg of rice. The festival started in 2001 and has already been consolidated as an important event in the Municipality of Silleda's festive calendar.
The Chaián Chub Festival reaches its 40th year in 2014 and includes the now-traditional cyprinid fishing competition, as well as a popular gastronomy festival and subsequent dance.
This is a very popular festival that is well established in the Municipality of Silleda'scalendar. Every year, more than 10,000 people gather together to savour around 2,000 portions of omelette and 1,000 litres of wine free of charge. The festival began to be held in 1989, reaching its 22nd year in 2010.
The "Festa do Galo Piñeiro e Mostra Cabalar," declared a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest in 2010, is held every year on the first weekend in August in the village of Pedrouzo (Arca).
From 1984 to date, every first weekend in August, the Municipality of Val do Dubra pays tribute to its residents who have emigrated and its visitors.
The gastronomy festival par excellence in the municipality of Padrón, held on the first Saturday in August in the parish of Herbón. It started in 1978 and is now classified as a Festival of Galician Tourist Interest.
Festival featuring the promotion and tasting of ham, which is held on August 14 in the parish of Bermés (Lalín) and will reach its 16th year in 2014. Cured and roast ham is served, along with bread and wine.

See more in Action/Adventure
Editor's NoteIn PLATOON, Oliver Stone draws on his experience as an infantryman in Vietnam to convey the brutality of guerrilla warfare: the heat of the jungle, the brushes with such wildlife as snakes and leeches, and, most powerfully, the presence of the unseen enemy. Charlie Sheen stars as Chris, a raw recruit, or "new meat," who serves as the film's narrator. At first he wilts under the rigorous conditions of jungle life, freezes up in a fire fight, and wonders whether he'll be able to survive. But he gradually adapts and, as time goes by, begins to see that the platoon is divided into two groups. One consists of lifers, juicers, and subintelligent whites, the other of blacks and heads. Sgt. Barnes, a combat-loving burnout (Tom Berenger), is the informal leader of the lifers, and Sgt. Elias, a free spirit (Willem Dafoe), leads the latter group. When the platoon takes some gruesome losses, an enraged Barnes kills some Vietnamese and orders the burning of their village, outraging the temporarily absent Elias. As the conflict between these two reaches its tragic climax, Chris must decide what he really values. Widely regarded as one of the finest war films ever made, PLATOON reflects not only the United States' division over Vietnam but the timeless truths of battle: terror, disorientation, exhilaration, and horrible loss.

Discussion in 'Disney Cruise Line Forum' started by Clotho, Sep 4, 2012.
That is a great point. I wonder what Disney thinks about their cruise food reviews?
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Back atcha 100%! Everything else was so stellar, as I have always come to love Disney for!
Sorry my post somehow was attached to a former posts quote. Darn phones.
Just got off of the Fantasy, buffet was great, the dining room meals were a huge dissapontment. Bland dishes, tiny servings, rushed service. The going away breakfast even disappointed, as they brought my a tiny scoop of eggs, and my wife RAW wheat pancakes!
Due to noise regulation in Alaska, Funnelvision couldn't be used at some points in the cruise.
Food is never a priority for us on a cruise. You have to take into consideration that with cruises the food has to be massed produced. You will never get a 5* restaurant meal cooked to order in the dining rooms nor can you expect it no matter what you paid for your cruise. They have to feed 2000-4000 people in a short time. A 5* restaurant on land doesn't feed that many on any given night. Everyone's taste is different so they will never be able to please 100% of the guests. If food is the number one reason for vacationing then perhaps a land vacation would be best.
Yes, I know what you mean but I think they mean BBQ in that it's a gas grill, not electric. They are not allowed to use gas for cooking on the ship but they can on CC. I'm sure folks from down south wouldn't call that BBQ either.
I agree. Each line has its pros & cons whether it's food, ship style, price, entertainment, itinerary, etc. Also there's the "little things" like having a casino, focus on smoking/drinking, having to sign pool towels in & out, etc.
For us DCL has the most pros and fewest cons or at least the cons are not of high priority factors. Do I love every meal? no. If food were at the top of my priority list, I'd probably be on a line that doesn't offer DCL's kind of entertainment.
We had better food on Carnival but I'd rather go to work than watch a hairy chest contest or see that my 9 yr old's upcoming activity that night is a "Coke-tail" party.
We were on the Wonder in August/Sept and recalled the food on the Dream (April) to be much better.
It's food costs, plain and simple. You have a budget to adhere to. The more the guests eat, the the quality of the food lowers. Unfortunate, but true.
I found the timing of the re-appearance of this thread hilarious. And the above comment is so true.
On our January Fantasy cruise the five men in our party all ordered steaks, medium rare. When the steaks arrived, all struggled with trying to cut the meat- it was tough, full of fat and stringy (as though it had not been cut by the butcher correctly). My husband, when asked by our server, let him know that it was not a good cut of meat. The head server came over with the chef...I was initially embarrased by the fuss...but the crew wanted to understand the problem and correct it. They thanked the guys for their feedback..they said that a new vendor was being used and that this was not the first problem that they had encountered. The guys were encouraged to try other dishes and as a way to make things right, the next night our entire table of twelve was served the fillet (or tenderloin...cant remember... not much of a carnivore, but it was like butter!) from Palo, cooked to our specifications and with our selected sides. It certainly wasnt our intention to cause a stir but I felt like our comments were well received and appreciated. We appreciate the attention to detail and outstanding service on DCL....nothing in life is perfect, but DCL sure comes close.
We were pretty disappointed with the main dining rooms on our Magic cruise recently, but our kids ate up at Cabanas one evening when we went to Palo, and they thought it was better. So I think on our next cruise that will be our plan, to eat at Cabanas in the evening and see how that goes.
As an FYI, Cabana's is not open for dinner on the first or last night of the cruise.

@guest-iajsnij @G.F. (The Economist),
I see. Thank you both.
Thank you, guest-lajsnij: That's correct. Musical notation is a symbolic representation of tones on a scale that has to be mapped to an instrument. Dr Feaster has found examples that correspond seemingly more directly to intended sounds, and thus his approach of digitally mapping seems to play out, pun intended.
It's musical notation, but you couldn't convert regular modern musical notation into audio this way. That picture shown up at the top could be played by importing it into standard software for making sounds out of images because the curves just follow what the sound is supposed to be.
Exact same question as xmJaeL6G3S's.

34 year old man | Baltimore, MD, USA | Seeking women 23-32 within 50 miles
Brand new here.....looking for fun times and good people!!!
I just moved home from Florida and I am looking to meet new people to adventure with. I am an outgoing, generous, caring and witty young man. I LOVE DOGS :) I love trying new things and exploring new places. I am as easy going as it gets. I recently got a sweeet new set of cookware and I love to spend an evening cooking for/with a new friend. I am always good for laughs too!!!! If you share some of the same interests that I have (See Below)....I am looking forward to meeting you. I hate these profile parts..... i am an open book. if there is anything that you would like to know about me.....please just drop me a line and ask. It is so easy to go overboard when trying to fit all of "you" into a small box like this. I have way too many things to say/share, that I want to keep it as simple as possible. I am new here though, so any and all suggestions or feedback is welcome. I am not someone who will not respond either. If you take the time to write to me....I will take the time to fashion some sort of response!! I have good manners when it comes to treating people correctly. I can be opinionated, but who isn't? I am open minded and down to try almost anything at least once. I do not shy away from things that are outside of my comfort zone. I really believe that you have to put yourself out there a little bit, and take some risks if you want to have access to the potential rewards that are out there. Hope to hear from you soon. Jason

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a 2 year old Black and Tan Coonhound that I rescued from West VIrginia. Her name is Lily, and she is the best thing that has ever happened for me. She is my current partner in crime, my best friend, and my heart. She is magic. hehehe
Middle of the Road
I dont play favorites when it comes to going out...I care more about who I am with than where we choose to go. I do love to travel. most recent trips have been to London, Amsterdam, and Cancun. I am trying to plan a trip to South America next.
I love listening to music, going to see live music (69th Phish show and finally saw my "PurpleRain" this July 4th at Jones Beach), and love playing the piano. I am a huge dog fanatic (see pictures), and spend as much time as i can in Nature. Travel.
There is nothing like spending time with someone you love. I love hiking with my dog, going to museums, going out to all different bars(fanciest to crappiest)for beers and laughs, going to Ravens and Orioles games. I LOVE to cook, but enjoy going out
The last book I read was The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo. I have long been a fan of Ayn Rand. I am one of the biggest Tolkien fans out there. The scope and imagination needed to create languages simply to accompany your writings is mind-blowing lol

Programme Labelling in the User Channel
Broadcasters and manufacturers have expressed the need to transmit various data accompanying audio programmes, data known as Labels. The AES/EBU digital audio interface offers 48 kbit/s for the transmission of ancillary information on User Data Channel. To make this capacity available to Labels, a packet system is proposed. This packet system enables multiplexing of various services simultaneously, taking into account the wide variety of messages. Special attention has been paid to time critical messages and to sampling frequency conversions. A number of immediate applications is listed.

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
Why did you buy a Playstation 3?
It's a game system. They're kind of "my thing."
Exclusives, Blu-Rays, and PS1 Classics (although that might be considered exclusives, as well).

I got mine last Christmas for the exclusives. Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed.
Well taking a quick look at your games collection, you haven't played:
Uncharted 1
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 3
Killzone 2
Killzone 3
Resistance 1
Resistance 2
Resistance 3
God of War 1

"If you're going to kick authority in the teeth, you might as well use both feet"
Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Little Big Planet 2. All multiplats go to my PC and 360.
I haven't turned it on in months. Been waiting for The Last Of Us. That's going to be awesome.
Don't flame me bro. GT: YFAL Putipuelko
Was sick of the Wii not having any games I wanted, and the PS3 had Valkyria Chronicles, with the Skies characters making an appearance in it (<3 SoA, it was one of the few games I said I'd buy a console for a sequel to, and Valkyria seemed the closest I was ever going to get).
So, it was my first non-Nintendo console. The Tales games it's getting now might also have tempted me over, if Valkyria hadn't.
Cause it had Virtua Fighter 5 on release, and once it was released on 360 in a much better adaptation the PS have been collecting dust fo a while, till Little Big Planet.
All-purpose Blu-Ray Player. I'm an entertainment kind of guy, which means I generally spend hundreds (if not thousands, I don't honestly keep track) on multi-media entertainment every year. When the choice was either $600 or more* for the Xbox or $300 for the PS3, I was pretty sold.
*This being the price of an Xbox and the Blu-Ray player needed to upgrade to Blu-Ray.

I played a lot of those on other peoples PS3's:
Uncharted 1 and 2 were on a housemates PS3. 3 I played on my own, and finished it. It should be on my list >_>
Killzone 3 I played a few hours of on my PS3, but didn't like it. I played the first on PS2 and just found the characters and universe utterly boring.
Resistance 1, 2 and 3 should all be on my profile, I played them all on my PS3. They're enjoyable, but hardly an exclusive worth buying a console for.
GoW1/2 I played on PS2, 3 should be on my profile, I only played it a few months back. Solid series, but again nothing I'd consider worthy of buying a console for.
Infamous 1 I played on a housemates console, 2 I played on my own when I bought it. Didn't think much of the series tbh, you feel like the worlds weakest superhero.
Heavy Rain, played on another console. Loved it, a fantastic game.
MGS4, played on another console. Probably the biggest disappointment this generation. It was playable, but such a massive step down compared to 3.
GT5- don't play racing games tbh.
So I've played the majority of that list, just most of it was a few years back on someone else's network ID.
The best exclusive I've played is Journey, that's a truly brilliant experience.
EDIT: Are you looking at my Gamefaqs collection? I only started using that recently, so it's missing games I traded in (I've played hundreds more games than that, I just trade or eBay them when I'm done).
GT: McPoo
PSN/NNID: McSmellington
Exclusives. Uncharted/Infamous/God of War/Last of Us. Everything else I buy for either 360 or PC, as all of my friends play those, I'm one of the few with w PS3.
exclusives, third party games, sequels, to play certain games not running well on my current PC without thinking about requirements, and arcade ports.
