This is a great product. I shopped around and almost all other places sold something similar but for about $100-200 more. I'm learning how to cook and this has been great to learning with, especially the clean up part. The nonstick pans make cleaning really easy.
Excellent bang for your buck
Beautiful and sturdy. Very happy
Light weight and easy to clean, love the glass covers.
When I ordered this set, after reading the reviews, I thought they would be a little heavier as they were by Cuisinart. And my old set had a reinforced base. But after using these for the past few weeks, the weight is perfect, and the cooking is even better that sets I have used. Great price too!
Pots and pans are not very large, so I would not recommend the set to a person cooking for more that 3 persons. The quality is very good to excellent and the set cleans up easily.

What hardware do I need for surround sound, iPod, radio, etc hook up?
I know close to nothing about audio visual stuff besides knowing a bit about plasma/lcd/led etc. I'm finishing my basement and going to run speaker wires through the walls before closing them off. I would like to wire everything so that I can either run the audio from the tv, or a stereo, or an iPod that will all be located in a console under the tv. I've heard about receivers and numerous other AV terms, but not sure what the best way to do this will be. Also, where the wire goes from the wall to the console, what should I do? Thanks so much for any help.

What hardware do I need for surround sound, iPod, radio, etc hook up?
It could take a long time to answer your varied questions and you'll probably get lots of opinions.
My advice would be to run your wiring before the room is buttoned up. A receiver is probably the A/V brains of an entertainment system. Look up 5.1 and 7.1 surround system concepts. Most people will be fine with 5.1. That's 2 stereo speakers up front, one center speaker for dialog, two rear surround effect speakers and one sub-woofer. SW can go anywhere you can hide it but plan the wiring when you decide. Rear speakers can be wall mounted and of lesser quality than front. The more inputs on receiver the better. The more HDMI inputs the better. Good reasonably priced gear at newegg.com. I happen to like Polk speakers. Some receivers today are very iPod friendly. Some are Sirius/XM friendly. Some are laptop or small computer footprint (with HDMI out) friendly. 100W per channel is more than most people need if subwoofer has its own power. Prices vary and only you can determine what you like. The receiver you pick will determine how speaker wires connect. Best advice is hardwire the area with a Cat5 or 6 jack (run from your modem or router) so you can make your tv smart-interface with the internet either directly or through an addon box like Roku, Boxee, Apple, Google etc. Run any cable company or other provider wire too. Run wires for going to other locations (music mostly) as desired. Most receivers handle 2 sets of speakers. If you want more you may need a switch box. An iPod can have a special cable with same male end as headphones on one end and RCA red and white audio out jacks on the other. It could go on CD in terminal on receiver or any other available audio jacks. To pretty it up and keep it charged too, add a docking station and run that jack from it. See meritline.com for cheap but adequate jacks. If it's iPod-like and has an external out HDMI jack, then it's a standard HDMI jack to a tv HDMI jack in for audio and video. Get a console with doors to hide stuff (as applicable) and open shelves to better get signal from your many remote controls unless you get a unified one. Good luck!

First thing, is what is your budget, second are you looking at mostly using for watching sports and movies, or playing music with the audio system? There are A/V receivers that have every bell and whistle you can think of, and others that are simple, but have iPod hook-ups on them. There are also soundbars that also have iPod hookups.
I would suggest looking at what Crutchfield has, go to a local store (mom & pop are better, since they will spend more time with you to figure out what fits your needs), and try out something close to if they do not have the exact same equipment that Crutchfield has. Also look in the various Home audio forums over at avsforum.com.

Wires, in my mind, can't be predicted accurately. Forget trying. Run a 2-3" conduit between tv and other electronics locations. Add/modify the wires as needed.

What hardware do I need for surround sound, iPod, radio, etc hook up?Quote:
But directly to the OP's question: You should run all your speaker wire before you close up the walls. You'll want CL2 rated wire which meets code for in-wall applications. Run the wire to a junction box behind where your audio/AV equipment will be located and install something like this: For switching between sources, you have numerous options depending on what sort of receiver you have. It may have inputs for all those sources, or you may need some sort of device that switches between sources if your receiver does not support them. But I would do what oberkc suggests. That's future proofing and in a purpose-built media room it's a wise investment. Even 1" conduit would be better than nothing. You can run it and for the time being just put the speaker wire right in it. Make sure you also run a cord in it for fishing new wires through. |

I just remembered about this thread and came to check it out and realized that I never received any email notifications. Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate the help. I finally got back into my basement project and just finished the framing. Now I'm going to move onto electrical and wiring. I'm still as clueless as before about the AV stuff, but I'll reread everything posted above and I'm sure I'll come back with more questions. Thanks again.

Throw a punch, a takedown, what? It seems every time there is a brawl by the time they get up there its just like "what do I do?" and the guys grapple each other. Of course there is exceptions (remember when Nolan Ryan layed it on Robin Ventura?), but most of the time its just like why go up there, you dont even do anything?.

Use your grappling hook to swing over the molten metal.
Climb into the duct and roll your way through the passageway. Here, the route splits, giving you the option to go up and through a factory, or down after blowing up a giant cat bomb. The easiest way is down past the cat bomb, but if you want an extra challenge, go up and fact off against more gangsters and a giant pot of molten metal (don't fall in, obviously).
Watch for breakable objects. They might yield coins.
Once your back onto the streets, keep heading right, through a parking garage, then into an office building. More gangster with machine guns here, along with a brief run-in with Batman's pal, Jim Gordon.
Don't be afraid of breaking stuff in Wayne Manor. It's your own house, so it's cool.
After the office building, fight your way through the outskirts of Gotham City, on your way to Wayne Manor. Once you reach Bruce Wayne's abode, keep an eye out for breakable floors, they'll lead you to hidden items and ways around groups of bad guys.

(En español: Laparoscopía)
Say: la-puh-ros-kuh-pee
Laparoscopy sounds a little scary at first, but it's actually pretty cool. It's a special kind of surgery that uses a camera to look inside your body! What happens during laparoscopy? First, doctors make a tiny cut on your abdomen while you're under anesthesia. Then they place a really thin tube inside you with a teeny camera attached to it. They use the camera to look for what's making you sick, and when they find it, they fix it. Using this kind of surgery, doctors can fix things more easily, you can heal faster, and you get only a tiny cut that will heal in no time.

Thread: What's your man number?

What's your man number?
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with my research.
Our local is looking to propose a new "Man Number/Badge Number" identification program for our department. Currently we are using a social security number fragment and some identifiers as our numbering system (ex. BK1234C). This breaks down to the first initial of your first and last name, the last 4 of your social, and C for Career or V for Volunteer. We want to get away from using our SS# for anything.
I was hoping for some advice on what other departments do with regards to issuing "Man Numbers/Badge Numbers" to their members.
It would be easy to come up with an overall seniority list for firefighters and paramedics and just issue them a progressive number. Seniority for field positions is based on date of hire. For Lieutenants it is based on time in grade.
The following questions are tougher to figure:
---- How do we issue numbers to Lieutenants, Commanders, mechanics, Inspector/Investigators, Training division?
---- Our department is a combination fire Department, so how would you number the Volunteers? How do you recycle those numbers?
---- What is done with probationary firefighters? Do they get issued a man number right away or do they have a temporary number until they get off probation?
---- How are Man numbers recycled as members retire, quit or are terminated? Or are they recycled?
I'd like to thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer. Please feel free to email me with your responses or post them here on the message board.
Thank You
Brian Kadle
In 1996 our fire chief decided to issue badge numbers for identification purposes. It started with the guy with the most senority (regardless of rank) as badge #1 and on down to the newest guy.Badge #'s are issued as soon as new members are sworn in. The idea is to not recycle the #'s, rather retire the number if the member retires, quits, dies, or leaves on medical.
I don't know the size, structure, or organization for your FD, but we are a 60 man dept (we run the ambulance service which is staffed with firefighter/paramedices and EMTs).This system has been flawless so far.
Let me know if there is something I missed
Robert. H. Fields
Hobart, Indiana
Since we run a with a multi township/county wide system the Department Chief sat down and established this system. Each Twp has a 2 number pre-identifier. My depts is 71. Now everyone has a badge number 1- whatever. When this was done it was all by seniority at that time badge 7101 was an Assistant Chief(Who is now the Chief.)
Even the officers badge numbers go by this except they get a seperate radio Identifier such as O-74(Officer 74) is our Training Bureau Lt. And thier is no difference between our Career and Volunteers. When some one is gone from the department it depends on the circumstances..we just usually don't use that number again. As for Probies they are P 1-whatever then their badge number is given to them when they graduate and it goes by day of hire/Application if multiple hires on the same day. We use our badge number as radio call numbers for each person.AKA: Mr. Whoo-Whoo

Industry begins feeling impact of sequestration
While federal agencies are dealing with furloughs and tightening budgets, industry is also beginning to feel its effects. Small businesses will likely be hardest hit, says John Grobe, whose business is already being impacted on the government contracts side.
00Contracting Out Costs MoreRadar TechAccording to the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) report "Bad Business", contractors costs the government 1.8 times as much in total average annual compensation than a federal worker doing the exact same jobe. There are more than 4.2 contractors for every federal worker. So the cost of contracting out is about 8 times as much as just having federal workers do the job. POGO is a non-partisan and non-profit organization. Now we know why 3 years of federal worker pay freezes hasn't brought the budget down or reduced the deficit. Contractors have had no corresponding pay freeze. Perhaps sequestration budgets will finally bring this discrepancy to light as agencies scramble to do their core missions with less money. Oh, and perhaps now would be a good time to discuss the cost of management consultants...paying consultants to tell managers how to do their jobs. Really? Isn't that sort of prime evidence that those seeking the consultants do not know how to do the jobs they were hired for? Perhaps a thorough review of the performance of these managers is in order? Perhaps a restructuring of their "bonus" compensation is in order?38516{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Scientists Create 'Lung on a Chip'
June 25, 2010
Researchers at Harvard's Wyss Institute have combined microfabrication techniques from the computer industry with modern tissue engineering techniques, human cells and a plain old vacuum pump to create a living, breathing human lung-on-a-chip. The device mimics the most active part of the lung, the boundary between the air sac and the bloodstream. Credit: Alyssa Kneller, Harvard Medical School

Jockey Tom Eaves was the star of Friday's racing at the Ayr Gold Cup meet, claiming a memorable treble of wins over the course of the afternoon.
The three wins included a third success in the Harry Rosebury Stakes for Norton-based rider Eaves, who had previously won the race in 2005 and 2007 with Curtail and Captain Gerrard respectively.
Time | Race | Winner | Jockey |
13.20 | British Stallion Studs E.B.F Maiden Stakes | Lincoln | M Harley |
13.50 | Al Maktoum College Nursery | Black Treacle | T Eaves |
14.20 | BAM Properties Ltd Handicap | Hazelrigg | R Havlin |

16.35 | Lowmac Recycling Handicap (Div 1) | The Scuttler | M Harley |
17.10 | Lowmac Recycling Handicap (Div 2) | Trixie Malone | J Haynes |
Sporting Life
Eaves' memorable day began with a 33-1 victory upon Black Treacle in the Al Maktoum College Nursery.
The two-year-old performed well on the soft ground to claim victory by a nose over the six-furlong distance in what was only Eaves' second race on the horse, following a second-place finish at Musselburgh earlier in the week.
Later, in the Harry Rosebery Stakes, Hurryupharriet claimed a 5-1 victory for trainer Willy McCreary after a strong start out of the stalls, with Eaves once more victorious.
Despite strong finishes from Mecca's Angel and Umneyati, the on-form jockey was able to coax his ride to what was ultimately a comfortable three-quarters of a length victory in what will be the filly's last race of 2013, per Daily Star.
The Yorkshireman secured his third win of the day in the William Hill Ayr Bronze Cup, where Circuitous claimed victory over six furlongs despite racing for the second time in two days.
The Keith Dalgleish-trained horse finished strong on the near rail to deny Green Howard on a photo finish and secure an unlikely 14-1 victory.
Per Racing Post, Dalgleish said post-race:
That is unbelievable. I ran him yesterday because I thought he had no chance of getting in this race. Then he came out of that race fantastically so he took his chance.
He forces the pace and that is hard in one of these races but he battled back well and the horse deserves a lot of credit.
The meeting at Ayr continues on Saturday, with the much-anticipated Class 2 Ayr Gold Cup race taking place at 3.50 p.m. (BST) on what is good to soft ground.
Scottish horse Jack Dexter (9-1) had been the pre-race favourite for much of the build-up, but William Hill report Baccarat as favourite on Saturday morning at a price of 8-1.

Cavity QED with Atom Chips and Micro-Resonators
Cavity QED provides a rich experimental setting for quantum information processing, both in the implementation of quantum logic gates and in the development of quantum networks. Moreover, studies of cavity QED will help elucidate the dynamics of continuously observed open quantum systems with quantum-limited feedback. To achieve these goals in cavity QED, a neutral atom must be tightly confined inside a high-finesse cavity with small mode volume for long periods of time. Microfabricated wires on a substrate--known as an atom chip--can create sufficiently high curvature magnetic potentials to trap atoms in the Lamb-Dicke regime. The integration of micro-resonators, such as microdisks and protonic bandgap cavities, with atom chips forms a robust and scalable system capable of probing the strong-coupling regime of cavity QED with magnetically trapped atoms. We have recently built an atom-cavity chip utilizing a fiber taper coupled microdisk resonator. This device combines laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms with magnetic microtraps and waveguides to deliver cold atoms to the small mode volume of the high-Q cavity. We will relate our progress toward detecting single atoms with this device.

the first book and part of the second, I was just rolling along, listening to one part right after another. But
during the listening of the second book I had to wait for each release and the time waiting in between gave
me the opportunity to better absorb the story during my downtime.
The Demon Wars Saga continues with Mortalis, the fourth book in the series, which bridges the
two trilogies in the saga. In this edition of the series, Honce-the-bear, a country/state in the land of Corona,
has just had their Abellican Church fall to the evil of the demon dactyl. The result is a ferocious war with
giants, goblins and dwarves. During the reconstruction period the Church works to get their house back in order
but the Rosy Plague has entered the land. This plague is untreatable, even by the magic gemstones of the church.
GraphicAudio does a superb job in producing these audiobooks. They produce them with their slogan "A Movie in
Your Mind" close to heart. The productions are full of great voice actors, sound effects and incidental
music -- all of which keeps the story rolling and the listener fully submerged in the world created by R.A. Salvatore.
Rogue Abbot/Bishop Marcalo De'Unnaro is sent to St. Gwendoly abbey to find out if the rumors of the plague are
true. What he finds is the townsfolk and monks from the abbey mostly dead from the plague. He begins his evil
plans to build the church according to his own doctrine and when the new Father Abbot tries to remove him from
the Church, he forms a band of Brothers Repentant, seeking to cleanse the land of all its sins. This plan also
includes genocide.
Poney has returned to her home to grieve over the grave of Elbryan, the ranger and her husband who was killed in
the final battle against the demon spirit. She learns her friend is dying from the plague and brings her to the
abbey only to be turned away because all abbeys and the castles have closed their doors to keep out the
plague. She is sent out with a handful of the gemstones to see if she can find a cure.
Juravial of the Touel'alfar, the elves, has retrieved a horse for one of the two new rangers that are being
trained, one of which the son of Poney and Elbryan. Juravial learns of the plague and returns to the home of
the elves to find they are also shut off from fear of the plague. The adventures seem grim but the story is
compelling and, with the attention to detail which the audio production offers, you'll find yourself wanting more.

Released: May 01st, 2004
Running Time: 118
Director: Antonio Passolini
Company: VCA Pictures
Serena South, Matt Bixel, George Kaplan, Johnny Jump-Up, Sir Nik, Olivia Saint, Tony Sexton, Steven French, Sean Silver, Joel Lawrence, Sunset Thomas, Tyce Bune, Rob Rotten, Kurt Lockwood, Aria, Henri Pachard, Gina Ryder, Frank Bukkwyd, Rachel Rotten
Critical Rating: AAAAA
Genre: Feature
Fans of Cafe Flesh and of Sunset Thomas will accept no substitutes.
AVN's review of the original Café Flesh back in the day calls it "the most disturbing and enticing erotic movie ever made." This one? It's pretty damn hot, and director Antonio Passolini makes his videos eye candy; the viewer inevitable finds themselves watching straight through every time.
After a worldwide war that leaves almost all the population unable to have sex without getting mortally ill, there's one place to watch those who can still fuck, and that's on television. F.J. Lincoln is great here as a network exec in a panic because Aria, the last woman able to have sex on earth, has combusted, following her really hospital-themed group scene with Joel Lawrence, Kurt Lockwood and Sergio. He sends Rachel and Rob Rotten back into the past via time travel to kidnap Sunset Thomas off of a porn set so she can perform for the sex-starved masses.
The Rottens end up pretending to be porn performers to get close to Thomas, and the time travel makes them able to fuck without dying. They eagerly do each other here, really enjoying the contact.
Makeup artist Olivia Saint is brought back instead, and she takes to performing for the crowd nicely in a scene that utilizes what seems to be one of porn's new trendy art direction themes, Nazism. (Check out another Editor's Choice in this issue.) Saint is costumed straight outta Ilsa, She Wolf Of The SS, and she interrogates prisoner Matt Bixel. "Vhe have ways of making you talk!" Saint says in a bad German accent, and one of the ways is getting to fuck her asshole. Saint displays some fine diva attitude, staying completely dominant while getting schtupped and keeping her military cap on the whole time.
When Thomas is successfully brought back, it's completely worth the wait. Her All-American group scene where she fucks three studs costumed as Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Richard Nixon is completely incendiary. Many a contract girl has been known to take it pretty easy in features where her name is dropped as liberally as it is in this one. And hey, she's a veteran performer, so she's just gonna coast here, right? Wrong, people! Thomas does a double penetration in this energetic scene with the dead presidents before she has to go back to the past.
Pre-noms ahead: Best Non-Sex to Lincoln, Best Supporting Actress to Rotten, who is subtly funny here, Best Anal Scene to Saint and Bixel, Best Groups to Aria and Thomas, Best Editing to L. Ron Kenobi and Passolini, Best Art Direction to Rosie Ortega, Best Director to Passolini and Best Video Feature to the whole she-bang.

A Decade of SkyFest
SkyFest celebrates 10 years of giving back to the sport of skydiving this June 15-21st at one of the top-rated dropzones in the country. Yes, that is right- the event will be at Skydive the Farm in Rockmart, Georgia, adding more to the already incredible history of this unique event: The Boogie that Pays it Skyward.
The Dive Plan
SkyFest (SF) and the Skydiving Scholarship Fund were established after Jerrys death to continue his efforts in keeping upcoming jumpers safer and longer in the sport. Jerry believed that coaching programs provide the bridge between student status and becoming a safer, experienced, long-term skydiver. He also knew that we needed more skydivers to get involved in coaching, if nothing else, for the education alone. The Fund has donated thousands of dollars to many jumpers over the south/south east over the years. Several DZs work closely to distribute the funds raised to offer free coaching jumps, cover the cost of canopy control courses, or even help with obtaining ratings. Jerry believed that we lose our jumpers between 25 to 100 jumps due to the fact that they had no one to jump with and would simply give up. And with todays coaching fees, its even more prevalent than the old days when the pioneers loved passing their knowledge on for free. We simply took the ways of the days of ole and created an environment that would endorse their beliefs. The Load Organizers (LO) that have participated at SkyFest unknowingly created a vibe that sparked a true essence of what its about, much more than ever expected. They truly create something that cannot be expressed with words.
Looking Back
Jerry was one of the first skydiving instructor/examiners in the sport. Jerry started jumping in 1959 and had accumulated over 3500 jumps and flying hours as an instructor not only in skydiving, but also in many types of aircraft. He was a CFI in single engine, land and sea, dual engine, helicopter, lighter-than-air, gliders, and had an ATP rating. He traveled all over the world with his wife Sherry as she judged skydiving events. Sherry was the Chief Judge for most of the US Nationals in the 70s and 80s, and she went on to become USPAs only female President in its history. They operated The Dallas Parachute Association in Seagoville, Texas from the late 60s to the mid 80s where their 3 children learned to pack by the time they were 6 years old. Together, they dedicated their lives to the safety, growth, and retention of the sport they loved.
Mentoring and coaching became Jerry's goal early in his 41 years of skydiving history. He immediately saw the need that many students still struggle with today over 50 years later. Students do not have anyone to work with unless they pay for a coach after completing the AFF (Accelerated Freefall) or Static Line course. Never asking for anything in return, Jerry donated his time and money by sharing his knowledge with the new or experienced jumper as a safe and trusted jump buddy. He would be the first to take you by the hand and spend the day with you by inviting you on his skydives. Since the early 70s, those who were around refer to themselves as one of Jerrys Kids. To this day a Jerrys Kid can be found in many places around the globe. Jerry believed continued education of the sport, its equipment and aircraft would create a safer environment in the sky and on the ground.
Jerry passed away on October 14, 2000 at the age of 65 from a heart attack, while deploying his main canopy, after completing a memorable skydive with some of "Jerry's Kids". We look at it as he never landed and died of natural causes in his natural environment.
Paying it Skyward at SF 10
SkyFest will have many Load Organizers in most disciplines dedicated to assisting the new jumper in advancing their skills, safety, and awareness by creating low pressure dives that anyone can feel comfortable being on. We encourage the newer jumpers to get there early so they may participate on the SCR (first 8 ways) jumps and eventually increase the size as the days pass. SkyFest is not run like most events, each LO has a specific schedule to follow, thus allowing each one to have the desired experienced jumpers to assist the new jumper - meaning we will have several LOs dedicated to 8 way groups the first few days of the event, not allowing any big ways so we can ensure we have enough players to fulfill the needs of the young jumper. For those not quite ready for 8 ways, we have you covered as well. Every jump will include coaching in one way or another at no charge, so feel free to join us and take advantage of the experienced jumpers dedicated to spend time with you.
Many manufacturers will be present to provide you with the latest and greatest developments with their equipment in our sport. There will be a gear auction Saturday night that will enable you to get great deals on all types of equipment. The auction items will range from helmets, audible altimeters, to tunnel time, containers, and much more for you to bid on. We cannot express the gratitude we have towards the folks that have assisted SF over the years and the manufacturers for supporting the event.
We will have an Otter, Casa, Helicopter and possibly more to be announced. The Helicopter will be there all week offering jumps for only $60! The Casa will be the place to launch rafts, hoops, most inflatables, safe sex ways, and tube dives! SF usually draws folks from over 36 states and a dozen countries, a chance to see old friends and make new ones worldwide. Black Friday will be entertaining us with their great sound Friday Night. Lindsay Galloway and her ladies of Zazzua will be bellydancing the night away for us. Zazzua is an American Tribal Style (ATS) bellydance group. Lets not forget the free beer, and of course, a chance to party Farm Style! With two natural swoop ponds, 55 acres, beautiful country side, and The ChutingStar Gear store, what more could you ask for?
We will be going for several State Records during the event, including Womens 20+ ways. A raffle will be held to allow one lucky winner to go and jump with 19 women in hopes of obtaining a 20 Way Pink Patch! PUPS (Parachutist Under Phorty) will be making their debut to recruit jumpers to participate in their upcoming Record Attempt TBA. Rumor has it there may be a PUPS /POPS competition in the works! Need your first 8 way? Come join us as we support the Bob Buquor Memorial Star Crest Awards and participate in one of the oldest skydiving traditions in our sport! Safety is of upmost importance and violations of the rules will be strictly enforced. We will have designated swoop loads for the ponds. Lets make this another safe SkyFest. Pre register now online at www.skyfestboogie.com and become a part of SkyFests incredible 10 year history. The boogie that truly Pays it Skyward has something for everyone!
Many thanks to everyone involved over the years!

Now this is a REAL Shame!
September 30, 2010 // 0 CommentsThe site of white construction workers working on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive while able bodied and unemployed Black men walk up and down the street speaks volumes to the hyper-segregation–even racism–that still exists in Milwaukee's labor market. We could not find one Black man or woman working on the reconstruction of the street named after a man who tried to bring all the races together in the fight for economic reciprocity and civil rights. How ironic and sad! (Photos by Harry Kemp)

New Thanks Giving Polybag Found
Another polybag has been found out in the wild by Brickset member Umbratinker. He found it while visiting the LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Westchester, New York.
The new polybag looks like a USA exclusive for Thanks Giving, the set has 46 pieces with two minifigures, it's not the first time a Discovery Centre has released stuff early as I reckon this will be out in all USA Brand Stores in late October/early November for Thanks Giving. Their is speculation it could be the next seasonal polybag but nothing has been found to back up this speculation.

Tales of Old Earth | ||||||||
Michael Swanwick | ||||||||
Frog Ltd./Tachyon Publications, 277 pages | ||||||||
A review by Lisa DuMond
The surprising thing, really, is that some of the stories in this collection have not been nominated. It is a kaleidoscope of themes, voices, and directions. Start with the two on this year's ballot.
"Ancient Engines" is a thoughtful and superbly subtle take on the nature and quality of life, and poses the question
whether any of us needs or merits more than a normal lifespan. The second story, "Scherzo with Tyrannosaur,"
explores the vast possibilities for disaster when humans are gifted with new technology. Whenever tested, human
beings invariably come up short. Both stories are dead-on hits.
Swanwick knows people. In fact, he knows things about us that we're not quite sure we really wanted to
know. But, we can't stop reading, so we will find out, nonetheless.
The stories in Tales of Old Earth range from the charming, but somehow disturbing, "Ice Age" to the
chilling "Radiant Doors" to the erotic fantasy of "Midnight Express." It's an impressive display of dexterity and
range -- although you realize that Swanwick has much more to say and more ideas to explore. I'm convinced we can't
see the edge of his horizons from here.
Nominations aside, the most striking story in the collection is undoubtedly "Radio Waves." The originality and
surreal feel of this story place it in a category all its own. The astounding reach of the piece brings to mind
the best of Lethem and Aylett, although it is completely unique. Upon reaching the last word of "Radio Waves," there is
an irresistible compulsion to read it through again, just to engrave it on your mind so that the experience never
dims. One read, though, and the story is with you forever.
"Microcosmic Dog" is another standout. The appeal of reality versus the ideal existence is an intriguing
theme. The confusion and distress of Ellen, the protagonist, is perfectly and painfully conveyed. The person going
through this situation could be anyone; could be you. Taking in the concept of such an existence is a challenge to
the imagination. Which decision is correct is a question that will vary with each reader.
Michael Swanwick is an artist of words. If, by some strange chance, you haven't discovered his work, you couldn't
ask for a better introduction than Tales of Old Earth. If you are already a fan, the collection will be a
gift, a chance to hold some of his greatest short stories in one volume. To anyone who enjoys science fiction,
fantasy, or horror, it is essential.
Now, quick! Before the final vote for the Hugos! Grab Tales of Old Earth and see what all the fuss is
over Swanwick. And, most importantly, stretch your mind. The rest will follow.
In between reviews and interviews, Lisa DuMond writes science fiction and humour. DARKERS, her latest novel, will be published in early 2000 by Hard Shell Word Factory. She has also written for BOOKPAGE and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Her articles and short stories are all over the map. You can check out Lisa and her work at her website hikeeba!. |

Morning showers have been moving through NW Arkansas and parts of the River Valley for the past several hours.
Although we have had a few heavy downpours, they didn't last long. As a result the rainfall totals for this morning (the past six hours ending at 9:00am) are not that impressive.
The swath of blue indicates about a quarter of an inch of rain. Most of that fell in a line from Cherokee County in Eastern Oklahoma to Carroll County in NW Arkansas.
Better chances for more significant showers or storms will be moving in on Wednesday.

Watch stocks you care about
The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
You've put the time in to plan your perfect summer getaway. All the arrangements have been made -- an economic hotel, well-timed pit stops, and cultural oddities to keep the kids amused. But have you thought about the best way to pay the tab for meals, museum tickets, rental cars, and kitschy mementos?
You might be surprised by how much how you pay can push up the total price tag.
Paper or plastic?
There are many ways to pay when you're on the road. The key factors to consider are cost, convenience, and safety:
- Cash is cheap (you won't get charged extra to use it), but it's not necessarily safe to carry a wad of it around when cavorting in unfamiliar locales.
- Debit cards are relatively safe to use (as long as you keep your PIN private), but if you can't find one of your bank's ATMs, you'll have to pay for the privilege of using another bank's cash machine.
- Traveler's checks are another option if you can stomach the fees to buy them.
- Lastly is most people's preferred method of travel payment: good ol' plastic (of the credit card variety). Credit cards are a traveler's best friend, offering both convenience (accepted almost everywhere) and safety (if stolen, your liability for fraudulent charges is minimal). And so long as you pay off the balance when you return home, they're cheap to use -- most of the time, that is.
The cost of using your credit card overseas
If you plan to pack a couple of credit cards and head overseas, brace yourself for an unpleasant travel memento: Extra charges on your credit card bill.
Every purchase you make from a foreign merchant (including online sellers that use an overseas payment network) is subject to two extra fees: Foreign transaction and currency conversion fees.
What exactly does the extra 1% to 3% you shell out get you? Two things: Someone to do the math so that all the figures on your credit card bill are the same denomination, and a senseless fee that, as far as I can tell, is there just because. More specifically:
1. The cost of converting drachmas into dollars: When you buy something with a price tag in drachmas, Visa, MasterCard, American Express (NYSE: AXP ) , and Discover (the most popular payment systems) convert the transaction from the foreign currency into good ol' American dollars. The fee for that back-of-the envelope calculation (based on the U.S. dollar value of the purchase) is either passed directly to you (if you use Discover or American Express, which charge 2% and 2.7%, respectively) or to the card issuer (in the case of Visa and MasterCard, which charge around 1%).
Of course, the card issuer doesn't necessarily have to eat that fee, because they know you will! (With no middleman, Discover and American Express pass it right along to you.) So the cost of doing the currency conversion is passed right along to you with a little something extra ...
2. Another charge, well, just because: The "foreign transaction fee" is an extra charge issuers are allowed to tack onto your tab when you shop overseas. As far as I can tell, the only reason it exists is that legislators felt bad taking so many toys away from the card companies when they passed the Card Act. So they let the whole "foreign transaction fee" thing slide.
When in Rome ... use Capital One
There's a wide range of what lenders charge for foreign purchases. For example, the 2.7% currency conversion fee American Express charges might sound steep. But the company does not tack on a foreign transaction fee. Bank of America's (NYSE: BAC ) currency conversion fee is just 1%, but the foreign transaction fee of 2% means you're shelling out 3% extra for that latte in Milan. And Capital One (NYSE: COF ) cardholders get off scot-free, fee-wise: The company absorbs the currency conversion fee and doesn't charge extra for foreign shopping sprees.
Here's how some of the most widely used card companies stack up:

4 ways to swat foreign travel fees
Before you hit the road plan your payment strategy. Here are four tips to keep transaction costs to a minimum:
1. Have a few payment options at your disposal at all times. If you find a bank that offers a great exchange rate and low fees on traveler's checks, consider using them to pay for big purchases (such as your hotel bill). On smaller day-to-day purchases, withdraw a few days' worth of funds at once to cover costs and put the extra money in your hotel safe.
2. If a retailer offers to ring up your purchase in U.S. dollars, politely decline and stick with the local currency. Your credit-card company will offer a much better exchange rate than what you'll get at the store. Plus, even if you do agree to an on-site currency conversion, there's a good chance your credit-card company will still charge you the fee.
3. Alert your bank and credit-card company before you travel -- domestically or overseas. Banks and credit-card companies are on high alert for fraud, and sometimes they have a hair-trigger reaction to unusual account activity.
4. And just to be safe, if you're separated from your bags or lose your purse or wallet, keep copies of everything in your wallet -- insurance cards, driver's license, credit/bank cards, passport, and contact information -- on you and in your luggage so you don't have to bus tables to pay for your crepes.

A Texas family raised a few eyebrows recently when they claimed to have captured a "Chupacabra." Many people are quick to dismiss it while others believe it to be the legendary creature that people have been hunting for a long time.
According to legend, a Chupacabra is an animal with habits like a vampire. The animal is supposed to suck blood of livestock such as goats and chicken. Many people have gone looking for the elusive creature in the past and failed.
The Texas family in Dewitt County reportedly found the creature eating corn on their property. The dark and hairless creature looks more like a large dog and is believed to be a baby Chupacabra. It is currently being fed corn and cat food.
The pictures and video of the animal have gone viral with many people taking a keen interest in the animal. Many believe that the legendary creature has finally been captured while others still remain skeptical.
One of the reasons why people may call the captured creature as the Chupacabra is its dark complexion and hairless skin, which some people find scary. However, an animal expert, biologist Brent Ortego of Texas Parks and Wildlife, believe that the creature was likely a dog, fox or coyote and may be suffering from a bad case of mange.
Another reason people are calling the creature the Chupacabra is they don't know what else to call it. Just like other legendary creatures, claims of spotting the animal are routine with both the believers and skeptics debating over it.
Perhaps the best way to determine what species the captured animal belongs to would be a DNA test. In the past, many of the animals that were believed to be the Chupacabra turned out to be coyotes or dogs with mange, reports NY Daily News.
The debate is raging on social media like Twitter. The identity of the captured creature, which some believe to be a hairless raccoon because of its paws, is still not certain. But people are interested to know what the creature is, even those who don't believe it to be the Chupacabra.
Has the Chupacabra finally been captured? Or will this find turn out to be another disappointment for people who strongly believe in the existence of the creature? The hunt for the mythical creature, however, continues.

Game(s): Final Fantasy IV, VI, III, VII, IX, V
Song(s): ... Boss themes. Too lazy to type them all out.
Wow. I finally got a chance to write something here.
And all I'll write is that I re-did this song and it's better. Look for the one that used to be called the OCD Mix until Newgrounds changed the character limit on titles. :)

You have a very good talent remixing these choices of music. One thing I did catch though is how long the FF 5 music was played for. Now I am not critizing your work, that was one of the best remixes I have heard and it blended well together, but the 5 music lasted like 10 seconds. If you had more time, would you have made it longer? Besides that, very good job. Ideas for another remix of songs- Try mixing 8's "Perdition" with 6's "Catastrope" along with the final kuja battle music from 9. there are so many songs from the FF series that the possibilities are endless.
Primarily, the reason I didn't make 5's mix longer (and this is actually very embarrassing) is that I didn't have the actual music with me at the time and then forgot how the rest of it went. XI
I would have edited it but after that my FruityLoops license code expired and I subsequently lost the original file. lol
As far as other mixes go, I'll agree with you on Catastrophe and Kuja's final battle music, but as I haven't played 8 to any extent (with good reason), I don't plan on mixing any music from it. Maybe the battle and boss themes, I don't know.
Thanks for the commentary!

I cant believ all the classic ones all together melded perfectly OMG this is like an ultimate tribute style piece..... However no FF8 if only you had FF8 Boss it would have been even greater. If you feel confinent try piecing together the decisive battles from the different games ie. Atma weapon and the FF4 elements. If they can fit it would be incredible!
My pact: To never ever mix anything FFVIII due to my dislike of the game. However, Atma indeed and the FF4 elements agreed. :P
Thanks for the review.

text: I wish I could find a National Park with facilities for a large family reunion that is not a campground. Many families need an affordable place to stay, such as a group lodge, where they can cook for their families to share an old fashioned family dinner. Many young couples can't afford a week-long family get-together if they have to pay restaurant prices every day in addition to other costs of the vacation. Our group of 60, aging from 0 to 70+, has found a few state parks with such facilities for a week, but it would be wonderful if the National Park system would also listen to what people need and provide at least one such facility in each state. The existing state park facilities are always booked a year or 2 in advance.

Members of the Murfreesboro-based band The Incredible Heat Machine like to say they "literally bring the heat" to the stage.
They admit like the heater, in which the band took its name, they have caught some things on fire from time to time.
"We have set fires on the stage before," said guitarist John Turner prior to a recent show at Wall Street.
But drummer Ray Dunham says the name is actually a "pretty good representation of our sound."
The progressive rock band, which has a Widespread Panic jam band sort of vibe, recently arrived back in town after being on and off the road playing venues since early spring.
Other band members include lead singer and guitarist Jeremy Pinell, keyboardist Rob Knugg and bassist Keegan Pavlovic.
Pinell joked that they had to wait until gas prices reached $4 a gallon to hit the road.
And that is what they did, in between working their full-time jobs, these eternal optimists with dreams of making the big time, hit the road in Dunham's beat up van he drove in high school.
Even though the money they collect from the shows barely fills up the gas tank sometimes, they say they aren't going to give up.
"We just love playing the music," Turner said.
Their recent tour of cities around the Southeast was a milestone for the band, which has been together for just over three years.
"This is our first band that is actually doing something — getting more recognition," Turner said. "It is still on the upswing."
Largely due to their first self-produced album in 2006 and their large presence on the Internet, The Incredible Heat Machine was able to book gigs outside of their hometown.
"Venues were ready to book us," Turner said.
He said the number of hits on the band's MySpace page got bar owners' attention. The band has had more than 46,800 visitors to its Web site.
Dunham said actually the farther north and east they travel, the better reception to their music.
Playing for an unfamiliar crowd also causes the band to refine their sound and keep their energy level high.
They loved playing dive bars throughout Kentucky, Asheville, N.C. and Johnson City.
These venues, they say, aren't used to their brand of music.
"The scene in other towns isn't as dense with other bands," Turner said.
They say being a band in Murfreesboro is like being in a "big band camp."
"You have to do something unique," Turner said. "There are about eight bands playing (in Murfreesboro) every night."
But he said a lot of people they have met on the road have actually heard of the Murfreesboro music scene.
The Incredible Heat Machine has been working on their second self-produced album (most members have a recording industry degree from MTSU) for about a year.
"It is still progressing," Turner said.
They say the album titled "Too Tall To Hide" is "leaps and bounds" over their first effort.
Dunham said the name of the album is a "good representation" of where the band is now.
They hope to have the album ready for release by late fall. Most of the tracks on the album have been performed for audiences.
"All of the songs that people know will be on the album," Dunham said.
Tracks include "Close Encounters," "Eden" and "Monster."
Erin Edgemon can be reached at 869-0812 and at email@example.com.
Listen to The Incredible Heat Machine at www.myspace.com/theincredibleheatmachine.
See the band live when they perform Thursday, Aug. 28 at 527 Main Street

Starting out as a driver for a gas company, this lineman worked his way into the electric side of the company and started an apprenticeship. The apprenticeship program lasted four years and involved on-the-job training. During the four years as an apprentice, he attended classes one night a week for a few hours. The apprenticeship program at an electric company is the most common way to become a lineman. As a lineman, job assignments include repairing or installing electrical lines and equipment in business and residential areas. This lineman feels he is constantly learning due to new technology and safety guidelines. He enjoys the independence of his job. When he gets into his truck and heads out on a job, he looks forward to the challenges the job may provide. Every job is different, he says, and it is exciting to meet the challenge of a new situation and make everything go smoothly. He knows he can do the job and has confidence in himself to do it safely and correctly.

The Gallery at Southwestern Community College's Oconaluftee Institute for Cultural Arts will feature two Cherokee artists in October as part of a new series of shows.
Horizons: Dean Reed & Henrietta Lambert opened on Oct. 1 and will run through Nov. 21. A reception for the artists will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 13, from 4 to 6 p.m.
"Opportunities to showcase local artists give our students a chance to network and derive inspiration from the community," said Jeff Marley, program coordinator for OICA. "It is a natural fit to our program at OICA that we promote local artist."
Reed has been working in clay for over 37 years, following a traditional Cherokee style of stamped pottery. He was a founding member of the Cherokee Potters Guild and a member of the Qualla Arts and Craft Mutual in Cherokee.
Lambert focuses primarily two-dimensional work, such as painting and drawing. She is the first graduate from OICA and is currently perusing her bachelors at Western Carolina University.
