Fairchild has met all expectations has more color than some other plug-compressors [1176 or LA-2], so it either works or it doesn't depending on source. Really shines on upper piano, helping to square it in the mix. Also livens up voiceovers. Another great plug! Thanks UA!
A very good plugin on a variety of sources. I use it most on acoustic guitar and kick drum. It stays on kick almost all the time, because it really gives the kick some thump, if you adjust the DC bias properly. This used to be my go-to drum buss compressor, because it can have a lot of flavor and agression on the first time constant mode. However, you have to be careful, because there is a boost that happens while engaging this plugin in the upper mids that can cause cymbals to jump out and sound harsh. Also, the plugin will reduce the low end a little on whatever source you use it on.
Depending on the voice, this compressor can do a great job. On some voices, I hear a smooth and thick sound resulting from a few db of GR. Sometimes, however, the singer's peaks sound "gabbed" in the wrong way (ie, the compressor lets go at a strange point.) A lot of folks favor this plugin on bass, but I have not found it useful there yet. On the mix buss, the same potential for problems exists as on the drum buss, but the FC can really provide some nice glue to the sound. I have found this plugin most useful on time constant one. I can't really find use for the others. Great job, UAD. I have found in most cases that UAD plugins have a "vibe" that others do not.
It might sound strange but i only use this comp when i want more loudness. It's probably not fair because it can do a lot more. It's just that i personally love it for that quality. And i have other compressors i can use to reduce peaks.
The sound is so familliar, i feel like a pro just by turning it on. (wow i sound great)
My initial reason for buying it was the flexibility it gives for compressing left and right channels seperatley. But then i found out it can also compress the mono and stereo signal seperatley.
To be honest i'm still learning how to use it effectively, but thats because i am a beginner. For now i use it's functions i know, and it does the trick. Never again will i have loudness problems. And i still have a lot of dynamic in my master track.
A number of years ago, I spent time with the UAD-1 platform while recording and mixing an album. At that time, I recall being shocked at the quality of the Fairchild plugin, the distinct character it imparted, and the fluid restraint it could give to a drum or stereo buss. I have recently added the UAD-2 system to my own mixing studio and the Fairchild was my very first purchase. I have tried many native plugins in recent years and some are excellent but, I never did find a compressor that affected me the way the UAD Fairchild did on that project. I was delighted to discover that the UAD Fairchild is still as impressive as I remember. There is certainly a quality to this plugin that cannot be found anywhere else in the digital world.
Engineer's and mixers want tools that will enhance& transform their audio to the next level. The Fairchild 670 offers vintage compression that brings new life to whatever signal it touches. It's a mainstay on my vocal channel, really makes them stand-out in a mix like no other. If you want to make it big & loud (and vintage) you need this. This is a desert island plug-in, the best of the best. Can't believe you don't have this yet.
The impact of this Plugin is immediately eveident when I compared it to my Waves Puigchild 670. The UA version has so much more "punch", "warmth" and "depth". Recently, I used it on a Drum Buss, and could not believe how much it added to the impact of the kit. I love the plug!!!!
I get so accustomed to using the LA-2A for compressing vocals that I have to shake myself by the shoulders sometimes to get out of my habits. This is my second review of this compressor due to the fact that this evening I was mixing a harmony vocal through an aux bus and I felt I wasn't quite getting the results I wanted for this song with the LA-2A. I started looking through my compressors and loaded up the Fairchild and found the "Center Squasher" preset to be exactly what I was looking for to give that track just a little more energy. Good stuff I say!
I like this plugin a lot. I have never used the hardware version of the fairchild but I tried the UA demo as my hardware mastering compressor was in the shop. I liked it and ended up purchasing the plugin and have used it for mastering in most projects since. Don't forget to rock the lat/vert setting!
I think the Fairchild 670 plugin has already been reviewed a thousand times - maybe even more than that. So what can 'I' say or add that's making sense? Nothing :) But if you are looking for a serious and hi-end sounding vintage compressor that shines on nearly every signal you feed in the Fairchild 670 is tha plugin you were looking for. I can not compare it to the hardware original (as I simply don't own one), but all other reviews and the sound I get out of my UAD are simply amazing! What else does one need? It's warm, fat and tight, exactly what I was looking for and exactly what I expected when I got it. This plugin gives you 100% sound!!
This compressor is a steal at 79 dollars! I use it on EVERY production, on individual tracks and the mix bus.Especially PIANOS (no-one else seems to be using it for this...?). An old 16bit East West Grand piano into the Fairchild 760, then into EMT 140 'B' reverb with lots of pre-delay is CLASS!!!!. It got me a BAFTA nomination!
The Fairchild ROCKS! Buy it now or I'll come over and insert a large spikey bratwurst into your...
I hope you bring the prices down on all your plug-in it would make it affordable and realistic for a customer to buy. Your products are great support it with good pricing.
I love this Fairchild 670 compressor for acoustic guitars. Very nice sound.

Un buen sonido de estudio gracias a Preamps transparentes como Focusrite 8 no podia mejorar mas y mejor que obteniendo un sonido vintage, de tubos en otros canales, solo colocando el Focusrite y listo!! nuevo sonido!!.
Ahora a pasar un buen rato comprimiendo solo el centro o los lados con este super compresor. Definitivamente lo recomiendo, asi como tambien recomiendo seriamente LEER bien el manual.

Surfing Braces and Supports
Surfing is a fun water sport, but it also presents the opportunity for injury. Surfers put their bodies against the force of the waves, which can lead to knee injuries, including issues such as ligament and cartilage tears. Even professional surfers, such as Garrett McNamara wear surfing knee braces to help protect his joints while on the waves. Wearing surfing knee braces may help prevent injury or provide extra support for surfers recovering from prior injuries. Remember, the risk for getting hurt while surfing is always there, as your body may twist unexpectedly from the force of a wave or you can get hit from your board. Repetitive stress injuries from crouching down can also strain the knee joint and lead to pain. That's why our brace coaches recommend these surfing braces and supports -- check them out today!

Lawyer explains Ins and Outs of Sequestration
by JP Bill - 2/22/13 1:33 PM
How to Avoid Sequestration Wage and Hour Problems
As the March 1 "fiscal cliff" looms closer, Congress has given itself a week-long President's Day vacation, making the prospect of "sequestration"—i.e., massive automatic cuts to federal programs—more likely. Companies that are dependent to any significant degree on federal funding, whether through contracts or grants, now are thinking about furloughing some of their staff once sequestration takes effect.
Furloughing hourly workers is relatively simple, so long as any contracts and collective bargaining agreements are complied with. By law, if hourly workers don't work, they don't need to be paid. And, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has even announced that the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) won't apply to layoffs caused by sequestration.
Some good news for Toni in the article
And, it is almost inevitable someone, somewhere, will sue over this.
What's taking them so long?...It's been almost 2 months.
Anyone can sue....you need the law/facts on your side to WIN.

North Shore - Oahu
If there is such a thing as a perfect wave, you'll likely find it on Oahu's North Shore. The big, glassy winter waves of this legendary surf mecca attract the best surfers in the world, while summer waves are far smaller and more gentle – all of which makes the North Shore the perfect surf spot for beginners and veterans alike.
Stretching for more than 11 kilometres, the beaches of the North Shore host the world's premier surfing competitions during the peak, winter months, including the Super Bowl of wave riding, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing (November - December). Stroll in the thick sands of Waimea Bay, Ehukai Beach (Banzai Pipeline) and Sunset Beach — just leave the surfing to the pros.
The months between November and February are the best times to watch big wave surfing. These massive waves can sometimes swell up to nine metres or more and can even be dangerous for experienced surfers so please heed warning signs. From May to September, the waves subside, creating a more tranquil atmosphere for surfing, swimming and sunbathing.
Roughly a one hour drive from Waikiki, the North Shore is also home to various condo rentals, the luxurious Turtle Bay Resort and Haleiwa Town, where you can shop, eat like a local and cool off with rainbow flavoured shave ice, the perfect way to end your day on the North Shore.

After falling at home in their first two ball games, the Oak Hill Academy Raiders (0-3) were hoping that they could find some magic on the road against Indianola last Friday night.
Unfortunately for the Raiders, whatever magic they had, they left here in West Point before making the trip.
Indianola gave Oak Hill its worst beating to date, with a 25-0 defeat of the Raiders.
It was a tough night to say the least, but it certainly does not spell the end of things for the Raiders, who still pack a lot of talent, coming into this week's contest at Leake.
They are going to have to find a way to win on the road on Friday, because they do not return home until the next week, when they face Hebron.
The best news for Oak Hill is that they do not face off in a conference game until September 24, when they take on Carroll Academy.
This gives the young and growing team two more weeks to prepare for district play.
The unpleasant news for Oak Hill is that they will be facing a very potent offense at Leake tomorrow night.
In week one, Leake claimed a decisive win over Winston, a 55-19 massacre at home.
The next week, they hit the road to take on Hillcrest. This time, the results were even worse for the Leake opponent, who fell 40-0 in the game.
This puts Leake at a 2-0 record going into week four.
Last year, the Rebels were 7-4 overall, and they made it to the playoffs, only to be put out in the first round by Marshall.
When the Raiders and the Rebels faced off last year, Oak Hill was defeated 38-7 by Leake.
Oak Hill is going to have to get production out its young quarterbacks and their three main rushers on the ground in order to be successful this week.
They have been out scored 56-6 in the last two weeks by their opponents.
Kickoff will be at 7:30 p.m., in Madden.

Childhood is a full-fledged experience with ups and downs, new educational options, and additional social commands that make every Sim child's life as unique as their adult counterparts.

Shimano HG50 9 speed cassette
Reviewed by 1 customer
Comments about Shimano HG-50 9SP Cassette:
This cassette works great. I purchased this to complete a build kit for my girlfriend to ride, and it's the best $15 you can spend. It shifts so smooth, much smoother than my top of the line SRAM cassette. It is a bit heavier than the higher-end cassettes, but it seems to scream durability, unlike SRAM cassettes which seem to shark-tooth after only a couple of months. The drilled-out detail on this cassette are a surprise as well, as Shimano has added these details to this mid-range product. I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a durable, quality cassette and doesn't care about an extra 100grams. By comparison, it is actually lighter than my old LX 8-speed cassette. You be the judge : )

SNEADS FERRY | Apprehension and anxiety marked the release of a captive bald eagle at North Shore Country Club in Sneads Ferry — for the humans and the young bird.
"I would rank it as a little bit heart-stopping for me," said Dr. Joni Gnyp, founder of Cape Fear Raptor Center. "He was told to fly off hard ... but they're wild animals. They don't talk to us. So I can't tell him what to do."
For the first time since he was found in Sneads Ferry in April, the 2-year-old bald eagle named Aang was free to wander in his natural habitat. Aang was released about 10:15 a.m. July 6 in front of a crowd of more than 100 people standing near the course's 18th green at the country club.
Among those in attendance was Vince Gable of Charleston, South Carolina.
Gable was visiting family in Onslow County for the Fourth of July weekend and wanted his young daughter to see the eagle's release to show her the importance of caring for the environment.
"It's pretty cool to come down here and see something like this happen, especially on a Fourth of July weekend," Gable said. "I wanted to bring my daughter out here because we want to keep her ... into thinking about things of nature and putting back into the planet."
When Aang came to the Cape Fear Raptor Center in Rocky Point, Gnyp said the bird was unable to lift his head because of severe lead poisoning, the origin of which is uncertain. She said it is possible the eagle became sick after eating lead shotgun pellets in an animal carcass.
Although their diet primarily consists of fish, Gnyp said bald eagles also are scavengers.
"Their favorite food is deer, which are large carcasses," Gnyp said. "They're usually shot by a hunter, wounded, then ran off ... So they sit out in the woods where the vultures and eagles find them. ... (The birds) also find the lead that's found in them."
Gnyp said that hunters often are great conservationists but added that she wishes ammunition manufacturers could find a more eco-friendly product.
"If we could somehow get some ammunition that served the purpose of the hunters and the game they're trying to hunt that was lead-free, it would take this whole equation out of existence," Gnyp said.
Aang was found by members of Possumwood Acres Wildlife Sanctuary in Hubert and brought to the raptor center for care.
Tonya Weil of Richlands works at Possumwood Acres and she attended the eagle's release.
"You don't get to see a bald eagle every day, and you certainly don't get to see one being released every day," Weil said. "I'm still worried about him because he won't leave, but I'm very excited that he's got his freedom back."
Aang is named after the main character from the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" television series. The first minutes after the bird's release on the golf course, he flew over a water hazard, chased a flock of geese into the water and sat near the green, next to his former caretakers.
Members of the raptor center spent the next few minutes trying to coax Aang into flying into the trees and starting his new life. Gnyp said Aang was found after he left the nest and learned how to fend for himself but has been fed by caretakers for the past three months. Gnyp said that Aang is in shape to fly and has done so numerous times at the raptor center.
"He is used to me as his source of food," Gnyp said. "He doesn't look to me to get any sort of camaraderie or relationship other than I'm his fish source. He's dependent on me to feed him for the last three months."
Aang is still a young eagle and won't receive the iconic white plumage on his head for another 2 to 3 years, but Gnyp said she expects Aang to be fine.
She does not expect to see him ever again.
"It's amazing how quickly they revert back to the wild," Gnyp said
An app available from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences allows users to track wildlife via a small backpack. Aang is carrying such a tracking device.

The rumors are true, the SB95C is here, and has been spotted in caves and dense forests along the equator. It's the bike you've been waiting for! Switch suspension technology, fast rolling 29" wheels, lightweight carbon frame, and of course Yeti's proven fit and feel. The alloy SB95 was such a hit with cyclists, that the next logical move was carbon! Yeti states "The SB95C isn't just the most advanced 29er we've ever made, or the most advanced carbon frame we've ever designed, it might be simply the best bike we've built to date." The main frame and swing arm are comprised of high modulus carbon fiber, which is light weight, absorbs chatter, yet is still rigid for highly efficient pedaling. The tapered head tube adds superior stiffness to the front end, perfect for singletrack handling. Internal cable routing on the rear triangle helps to keep debris from contaminating cables, and is aesthetically pleasing. Custom chain slap guards in the rear triangle help to keep the bike's beautiful paint job in tip- top condition. Not only is the SB-95c a beast on the trail, she's quite easy on the eyes!
The Yeti SB95C utilizes Switch suspension technology. Yeti did not just 'copy and paste' their Switch suspension technology from their 26" wheeled bikes to a 29" version; they adapted, reengineered and tested it over and over until it was perfectly suited for the bigger wheel. The basics still hold true - super efficient in all gear combinations without sacrificing traction and comfort. Switch suspension is an ingenious design that uses an oversized main pivot that actually contains a second pivot (lower pivot of the swing arm) which is offset within the main. This eccentric mechanism switches direction as the bike moves through its travel creating an optimized wheel path without unexpected spikes or wallows.

When I was a younger and more ambitious critic, I looked forward to compiling top 10 lists at the end of the year; the bottom 10, too. What better way to show off those intellectual biceps than by revisiting a previously reviewed show to deliver the final coup de grace or pat on the head, bolstered by the false wisdom of hindsight?
But with age comes ambiguity. Looking over this year's candidates, I realize I've lost the old verve for effusiveness and categorical thinking. I decided instead to assemble a list of 20 plays, musicals, ballets, dance concerts and other events that were significant in some way. Most of them beat expectations; a few underperformed. Some came out of nowhere to grab the spotlight. Here they are, in chronological order according to opening date, together with occasional excerpts from my reviews.
Jan. 13: "Topdog/Underdog" (South Coast Repertory): Suzan-Lori Parks' modern masterpiece about two brothers whose murderous fate is bound by circumstance received its long-overdue SCR premiere with a terrific cast – Larry Bates played Booth, and Curtis McClarin played Lincoln. "During its best moments, especially at the end of each act, this "Topdog" does what Parks intended: It reaches into your heart and squeezes it, hard."
Jan. 15: "Car Plays" (Segerstrom Center): The highlight of the Segerstrom Center's first Off Center Festival, these playlets were performed inside cars parked in the plaza in front of Segerstrom Hall. It was theater at its most gripping and elemental, and it redefined the cliché "in your face."
Feb. 3: "Elemeno Pea" (South Coast Repertory): Playwright Molly Smith Metzler has penned the perfect zeitgeist play about two working-class sisters who lock horns when one of them begins working for a rich couple. "Metzler stumbles a bit by painting some characters with an overly broad brush, but she shows a deft touch with surprises and lightning-fast changes of tone – two skills that elude many otherwise talented American playwrights."
Feb. 9: Ballet de Monte Carlo's "Cinderella" (Segerstrom Center): A bawdy, romantic and slightly revisionist take on the story of an abused girl looking for her prince, with gorgeous and elaborate sets that prove touring ballet companies don't have to slum it with flats that look like they were pulled out of a Chevy van.
Feb. 15: "The Jacksonian" (Geffen Playhouse): Beth Henley's new play is dark, disturbing and peppered with her talent for commingling disparate qualities – humor and horror, the divine and the mundane. It takes us to the time and place of Henley's youth: Jackson, Miss., during the turbulent Civil Rights era. The all-star Geffen cast included Bill Pullman, Ed Harris and his wife Amy Madigan.
March 14: "American Idiot" (Ahmanson Theatre): Based on the 2004 Green Day album of the same name, it's a true rock opera, bursting with the bristling emotional energy and painful yearnings that have distinguished the Bay Area punk band from countless others since its inception 25 years ago. The characters are painted with a roller brush and the story is over-familiar, but like all good art, "American Idiot" connects masterfully on a primal level.
March 16: "Sight Unseen" (South Coast Repertory): Donald Margulies' story about the elaborate dance between success and failure, which premiered at SCR in 1991, was a rich enough template to inspire two decades worth of exploration for the celebrated playwright. This revival confirmed the play's worth.
March 21: "Waiting for Godot" (Mark Taper Forum): Director Michael Arabian's "Godot" milked more mirth out of Samuel Beckett's study of tedium, slapstick comedy and quiet desperation than any interpretation I've ever seen. A cast of renowned Beckett experts included Irishman Barry McGovern as Vladimir and Alan Mandell as Estragon.
May 18: "Jitney" (South Coast Repertory): Part of August Wilson's 10-play series about black life in 20th-century America, "Jitney" focuses on a rascally group of illegal cab drivers in the 1970s. Director Ron OJ Parson and his talented cast reminded us of the tremendous gifts that Wilson, who died in 2005, created in his work for black actors of all ages.
July 3: "Warhorse" (Ahmanson Theatre): Magnificent life-size horse puppets and a compelling World War I setting combined in this masterful play about a boy and his steed. "It's a shameless tearjerker. But for students of theater – especially those who cherish the magic of stagecraft – this show is a must-see."
July 13: Stephen Sondheim (Segerstrom Center): The master composer-lyricist's long-delayed appearance in O.C. for a Q & A was worth the wait: low-key but candid, and punctuated with his songs, performed by Christine Ebersole and Brian Stokes Mitchell.
Aug. 12: "Red" (Mark Taper Forum): On the screen as well as the stage, actor Alfred Molina has a gift for humanizing larger-than-life characters, making them credible and more sympathetic than expected. He was perfect for the role of painter Mark Rothko in John Logan's play about the cantankerous abstract expressionist.
Sept. 5: "The Book of Mormon" (Pantages Theatre): Overhyped? Sure. But beneath all the calculated effrontery, this story about Mormon missionaries who go to Africa with disastrous results is an old-fashioned musical with a sweet message at its heart: A good deed is its own reward. That's surprising, since the creative team is also the brains behind "South Park" and "Avenue Q."

With our beloved E Streeters on their way to Australia, we here in the U.S. are feeling a little left behind. Not only is the airfare too expensive for most of us to do more than daydream about being there, but thanks to the magic of time zones, those of us with day jobs probably can't even plan on watching the setlists unfold in real time. So what's a fan to do?
Well, it's been said (by me, five minutes ago) that a tweet is the shortest distance between two points. And increasingly, Twitter has become a great way to get quick updates and photos straight from the horse's mouth — wait, horses don't tweet, they neigh… metaphor fail! Anyway, several of the E Street Band members are on Twitter now, and here's the official Blogness guide to who's who.

Donald Love asking Claude to escort the Old Oriental Gentleman to Pike Creek
|Grand Theft Auto III
|Donald Love
|Torrington, Staunton Island, Liberty City
|Escort the Old Oriental Gentleman to Pike Creek
|Conditions of mission failure:
|The Securicar blows up
|Unlocked by:
|Grand Theft Aero
- "You're proving to be a safe investment, a rare thing in these days of false hood."
- ―Donald Love.
Escort Service is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by media tycoon and businessman Donald Love from the Love Media building in the Bedford Point district of Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Claude goes to Donald's penthouse, looking for more work. Donald wants Claude to protect the Old Oriental Gentleman in a Securicar and make sure he's safely arriving in Pike Creek, Shoreside Vale, for Donald's package needs authentication. Claude later gets out the building and gets in a car, following the Securicar transporting the oriental gentleman. On the way, members of Colombian Cartel start to give chase in Cartel Cruisers, trying to ram the vehicle. Claude, however, manages to hold off the Cartel members. Eventually, the Old Oriental Gentleman, with the help of Claude, arrives at the destination safely.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Lets go
- Hold off the Colombian gang
The player receives $40,000 for completing this mission.
- Alternatively to getting a car and following the Securicar, the player can also stand in the vehicle during the mission. Despite a message appearing and informing you need a car for the job, the player can jump into the Securicar's roof. This will start the vehicle path to Pike Creek, leaving the player on top of it, and making the mission a bit easier, however the player needs to be aware of the crashes, if the Colombians crash their Cruisers into the Securicar, Claude can fall out and it will be a little difficult to mount again, forcing the player to use a vehicle.
- Near the Securicar among the shrubs have a M-16 that can help the player in the fight against the Colombians.
- At the end of the mission, when the Securicar is driving into the garage, if the player drives his car inside with it, the garage door will close on the player's car and push through the ground into Blue Hell.

Herald Health: Laps fly by on moms' weekly walks

Dan Bates / The Herald
Angela Gesacion of Everett pushes two of her daughters, Macy, 3, and Sadie, 4, in a double-wide stroller and carries 9-month-old Eva on her back while doing laps around the concourse at Comcast Arena.
They share a common bond.
All of the moms are new mothers who had their babies at Providence Pavilion for Women and Children and who attended the Living with Baby class offered there.
These women are now walking together on Wednesdays when Comcast Arena opens its concourse to walkers who want some exercise in a safe environment that's out of the elements.
But it's more than just walking for these friends, Diana Contreras of Everett said.
"It's our special time," Contreras, mother of 7-month-old Valentina, said.
Everett's Comcast Arena, 2000 Hewitt Ave., opened to walkers in June on Monday and Wednesday mornings. Walkers enter through the Comcast Community Ice Rink off Broadway.
The concourse is now open from 9 to 11 a.m. most Mondays and Wednesdays. Entrance is free. Five laps around the concourse equal a mile. And there's a flight of stairs to run up and down if walking isn't enough of a calorie burner.
On a recent Wednesday, it wasn't just the new moms huffing and puffing around the concourse. Staff members and students from the Mukilteo Transition Center were also getting some exercise along with lots of other folks. But even with a good turnout, there was plenty of room to walk at your own pace.
The moms said they started walking on Wednesdays when they learned from their mommy class that Comcast was open for walkers.
"It's nice to meet with other moms and we're all about the same age," said Lindsay Groehnert, whose 4-month-old son, Oliver, usually sleeps through the event. "It's great to get out and get exercise and get to know people."
The moms do about 20 laps during their Wednesday walks and they all agreed the time just flies by.
Leise Gunkel of Everett said she doesn't really have a personal goal she wants to reach but believes any exercise is beneficial.
"Especially during the winter months when we are not able to go outside all the time," said Gunkel, whose daughter Eleanor just turned 3 months. "It's great to talk with the moms and get advice."
Contreras said the Wednesday walks are also a good motivator for her to do other types of exercise throughout the week.
"It's a good kick start," Contreras said. "I was struggling to find something to do."
Because Valentina is a bit older at 7 months, she's more alert and won't put up with being in the stroller on her back for more than about 40 minutes. So when Valentina gets fussy, Contreras stops and puts her in a baby holder and carries her the rest of the way.
Valentina is content then to look around, and especially likes looking at the other babies.
Rochelle Tabladillo, who also lives in Everett, said her 4-month-old, Royce, sometimes gets fussy and she has to stop and feed him.
The other moms join her and they all feed their babies on the bleachers, Tabladillo said with a laugh.
"It's great to carve out the time to come here when it's rainy and cold and it's a good excuse to talk and walk and be active and get into the swing of things," Tabladillo said. "And it's neat to go around."

For new mothers, the "Living with Baby" class for babies age 0-6 months meets from 1 to 2 p.m. Mondays; the class for babies ages 6 months to 12 months meets from noon to 1 p.m. Mondays at 900 Pacific Ave., Everett. Cost is $20 a month. For more information on the "After Your Baby is Born: Living with Baby, Toddler, Preschooler" classes, call 425-259-7311 or 425-258-7012, or go to tinyurl.com/asglqdl.

I don't know about the rest of you , but it has set my heart a-flutter to see all those protesters on the streets of Iran. There is a price to be paid for sure , but some things are worth that price. Nowaday a majority of Iranians are young people 30 years or less , and they are sick of being bullied by a "dictater" regime. Some cries that could be heard were "Death to the dictator! " It is wonderful that women are out there mingling among the men and some are not even wearing scarves or other Muslim dress.
Millions all over the world by now have seen that picture of the Iranian girl, shot through the heart and laying bleeding on the street while her father and certain others cry out for her to open her eyes. That didn't happen—she closed her eyes only to die. I hope Neda will not have died in vain; I know she will not be forgotten.
This a history making uprising and a good example to other Muslim citizens who feel oppressed. I hope there is a ripple effect.
I applaud CNN for bringing so much news in spite of the media blackout ordered by Iran. It hasn't been easy for our reporters, but some Iranians from the US are speaking thier thoughts on air.
The question now seems to be how much the United States should get involved. I say we should support those young people in thier quest for freedom, and rally the rest of the world to join us. The demonstrators of Iran are brave and they are really crying out for our support—after all we are the champions free speech and an example of Democracy and the rights that come with it. Obama—will you say more ???

On the heels of last week's guilty plea by Raul Sanchez for his involvement in a Bronx-based dog fighting operation, we are thrilled to report that many of the dogs are thriving in their new lives as beloved pets.
In November, we told you a very happy story about Ninja, one of the dogs we rescued and rehabilitated, who found a wonderful forever home. Now we have another heartwarming success story to share: Mona Lisa, who was one of 50 dogs we rescued in June from that dark, dingy Bronx basement, recently went home to a loving family.
Mona now lives with two loving pet parents in a spacious house overlooking 50 mountainside acres, where she takes frequent hikes with her new dog sister, Zelda. Her other favorite activities include snuggling with Zelda by the fireplace and lounging on the couch with her new pet parents.
Mona Lisa's journey to adoption wasn't easy. After her rescue, she was transferred to one of our partner shelters, The Animal Support Project, Inc. (TASP) in Cropseyville, New York.
"When Mona arrived at the shelter, she cried and whined like a hyena and was extremely anxious, usually sitting pitifully at the kennel door," says Melinda Plasse of TASP. But after plenty of attention, care and time to recover, Mona made great progress. "She is outgoing," Melinda reports, "loves belly rubs, and is kind as can be to children and other animals."
When we picture Mona Lisa romping around in the woods with her new family, we can't help but smile. We're working to make sure that animals nationwide won't continue to suffer due to the cruel practice of animal fighting. Last week, legislators reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, which would make attending an organized animal fight a federal offense and would impose additional penalties for bringing a minor to an animal fight.
Please join us in our efforts by asking your own House representative to support this important humane legislation.
It breaks a person,s heart to see that any person could be so cruel,heartless and inhumane to breed an animal for fighting..I hope they get the utmost penalty for what they are doing...I am so thankful for people who dedicate their lives to rescue these suffering animals and give them a chance for a happy and loving life in caring homes....BY CARING PEOPLE...Thankyou From a Canadian neighbour
People can be sick,cruel and greedy! Can't stand it!!!!! Thank you for your courage and for what you did. We need many people like you in this world. You are a saint and our hero! Bless you.
Mona is Beautiful ! Hope the rest of the Pits that were rescued are just as lucky to find good homes
We will always see those that abuse the innocent. Whether their abuse involves fellow humans or animals, it is heartbreaking. Consider praying for those that abuse to be changed, their eyes and hearts turned toward good and decency. May they hold themselves up to a higher expectation. God put us in a position to care for this earth and the living things upon it. There are several places in the Bible that mention God's love for the animals He created. We will be held accountable for the way we care for all of His creations. His Eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me. -How true!
Animal abusers need to be executed, plain and simple. They are a worthless bunch of sob's!
What a doll! I love those ears!! So glad she found the loving home she deserves!
Really, really happy these dogs, especially Mona Lisa have found new homes. Can't imagine why some people like Sanchez thinks it's ok to have these dogs fight. He will now have to think about what he's done while he's in jail. Hope he does.
Mona Lisa's abuse breaks my heart but my heart is warmed when I hear about people who rescue and adopt animals who are in need. Enjoy your new home Mona Lisa. Love has finally come to you! You are so sweet and so deserving,just like other animals who look for love and get only pain and abuse. People, step up to the plate and do what you can to help animals, please!
when i see these things, i am reminded of why i like animals more than people!

Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the decisive vote in close cases, joined the four more liberal justices in raising questions about a provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that is being challenged at the court.
Kennedy said the law appears to intrude on the power of states that have chosen to recognize same-sex marriages. Other justices said the law creates what Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called two classes of marriage, full and "skim-milk marriage."
The federal law affects a range of benefits available to married couples, including tax breaks, survivor benefits and health insurance for spouses of federal employees.
It still is possible the court could dismiss the case for procedural reasons, though that prospect seemed less likely than it did in Tuesday's argument over gay marriage in
The motivation behind the 1996 federal law, passed by large majorities in Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton, was questioned repeatedly by Justice Elena Kagan.
She read from a House of Representatives report explaining that the reason for the law was "to express moral disapproval of homosexuality." The quote produced an audible reaction in the courtroom.
Paul Clement, representing the House Republican leadership in defending the law, said the more relevant question is whether Congress had "any rational basis for the statute." He supplied one, the federal government's interest in treating same-sex couples the same no matter where they live.
Clement said the government does not want military families "to resist transfer from
Opposing Clement was the Obama administration's top Supreme Court lawyer, Donald Verrilli, who said the provision of DOMA at issue, Section 3, impermissibly discriminates against gay people.
"This statute is not called the Federal Uniform Benefits Act," Verrilli said. The administration wants the court to apply a level of scrutiny it applies to discrimination against other disadvantaged groups and that makes it harder for governments to justify those laws.
Both Verrilli and Roberta Kaplan, the lawyer for the 83-year-old New Yorker who sued over DOMA, told the court that views about gay people and marriage have shifted dramatically since 1996.
"Why are you so confident in that judgment? How many states" allow same-sex unions? Justice Antonin Scalia asked Kaplan.
Nine, she said.
"So there's been a sea change since 1996," Scalia said, doubtfully.
But Chief Justice John Roberts jumped on the idea of a rapid shift in opinion to suggest that perhaps gays and lesbians do not need special protection from the court.
"As far as I can tell, political leaders are falling all over themselves to endorse your side of the case," Roberts said.
The justices stepped into the dispute after lower federal courts ruled against the measure.
The DOMA argument followed Tuesday's case over
Marital status is relevant in more than 1,100 federal laws that include estate taxes, Social Security survivor benefits and health benefits for federal employees. Lawsuits around the country have led four federal district courts and two appeals courts to strike down the law's Section 3, which defines marriage. In 2011, the Obama administration abandoned its defense of the law but continues to enforce it.
Same-sex marriage is legal in nine states and the
The justices chose for their review the case of Edith Windsor, 83, of
Windsor, who goes by Edie, married Thea Spyer in 2007 in
There is no dispute that if
Like the Proposition 8 case from
The House Republicans, the Obama administration and a lawyer appointed by the court especially to argue the issue spent the first 50 minutes Wednesday discussing whether the House Republican leadership can defend the law in court because the administration decided not to, and whether the administration forfeited its right to participate in the case because it changed its position and now argues that the provision is unconstitutional.
If the Supreme Court finds that it does not have the authority to hear the case,
Roberts and Scalia seemed most interested in this sort of outcome.
On Tuesday, the justices weighed a fundamental issue: Does the Constitution require that people be allowed to marry whom they choose, regardless of either partner's gender? The fact that the question was in front of the Supreme Court at all was startling, given that no state recognized same-sex unions before 2003 and 40 states still don't allow them.
But it was clear from the start of that argument in a packed courtroom that the justices, including some liberals who seemed open to gay marriage, had doubts about whether they should even be hearing the challenge to California's Proposition 8, the state's voter-approved gay marriage ban.
Kennedy suggested the justices could dismiss the case with no ruling at all.
Such an outcome would almost certainly allow gay marriages to resume in
There was no majority apparent for any particular outcome, and many doubts were expressed by justices about the arguments advanced by lawyers for the opponents of gay marriage in
Reflecting the high interest in the cases, the court was releasing an audio recording of Wednesday's argument, just as it did Tuesday.
The Tuesday audio can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/dxefy2a .
A somewhat smaller crowd gathered outside the court Wednesday, mainly gay marriage supporters who held American and rainbow flags. "Two, four, six, eight, we do not discriminate," a group chanted at one point. "If this isn't the time, when is the time? When does equality come into play?" asked Laura Scott, 43, of

Whoever invented it should be CANONIZED
By ACE
from East Coast
Lil Baby (12 lbs of feline muscle)has an ATTITUDE. She wants to kill me when she smells Cee Cee Kitty's scent on me (I can NOT put Sweet Cee Cee anywhere near this feline beast). She tried to attack the cat sitter, who wears the scent of about 5,000 cats on her. SO, faced by this raging poufed up monster, I sprayed the CS's shoes, MY shoes and the floor near LB -- who suddenly acted VERY confused (as if to say "Now then, What was I just about to do??") However, she did not totally back down, but the momentary confusion was enough for us to safely get out the wand, the treats and the toys. I have about 6 bottles of Phero Soothe strategically placed thru the apartment. This is helping to make life more bearable for all involved.

Not working
By Pinkie

When I purchased this product I was very excited because I have five cats. Unfortunately it has no effect on them. I spray it on their beddings and it does not do anything and none of them care about the smell either. Maybe because it is not real pheromone.

Chad Novelli makes it a point to scoreboard watch every game night, a habit the Northside first-year girls' basketball coach said he's followed since the start of the season.
"I always want to know what's going on in our league," he said. "It's fun to know what going on, but obviously the interest now has peaked."
Novelli can say that again.
And he likely won't be the only coach checking his smart phone or computer every night for results, given the competitive nature in the East Central 2-A Conference this season.
Northside (12-3 overall) is one of four teams tied for first place in the
"I think it's really great for our conference to have four solid teams that have a chance to win it," Novelli said. "It makes it exciting for the fans, and I know it's exciting for the girls."
Exciting and fun? Yes.
Nerve-racking? No doubt for coaches.
"It's stressful, but fun," Novelli said.
Not to mention captivating for the coaches involved in the regular-season title race.
"It's just going to make things interesting at the end of the year," East Duplin coach Mark Lane said. "It's just a strong conference right now."
Both Lane and Novelli agreed that four teams being tied for first place late in the season — the
However, there will be some changes to the standings tonight since East Duplin visits Northside and Clinton travels to South Lenoir. At the end of the night, two teams will be tied for first while two others will drop into a tie for third.
"I think it hit me on the bus ride home (Friday from Swansboro) that we would be playing each other Tuesday," Lane said. "(Clinton coach Chris Owens) and I always talk after games, and I knew he had lost to Northside. I just knew it was going to be a battle because all four teams are good."
The Panthers are the defending ECC regular season champions. Lane, though, believes his team needs to improve if it is to repeat.
"Our ball handling has to be better than it has been in our losses," he said. "I think our defense has been pretty good, but our ball handling needs to improve and we need more confidence on offense in order for us to beat these top teams."
Both Northside and East Duplin took care of business Friday night to forge the four-way tie.
The Monarchs beat Clinton 48-43 in overtime at home while the Panthers won 37-22 at Swansboro. South Lenoir, meanwhile, beat Croatan 42-33 at home.
"Tomorrow is a big one. We have to try to take care of East Duplin at home," Novelli said. "We still got another shot at South Lenoir at home and we have that game circled. We also need to take care of the games in between."
Novelli added his team's victory over Clinton gave the Monarchs plenty of confidence.
"I think we needed it because a lot of our wins until that were all by double digits and our few losses were by single digits," he said. "We needed a close win against a good team."
It's perhaps difficult to tell which team will emerge as the regular-season conference champion since none of the four are undefeated against the other three.
Northside has the win over Clinton, but the Monarchs lost 51-45 at South Lenoir on Jan. 8. The Blue Devils beat the Monarchs, but on Dec. 19 lost 45-41 at home to East Duplin, which lost 53-44 at home to the Dark Horses on Jan. 11.
Just be glad then that the second rotation of conference play starts Friday, which means the conference race at the end could be less cloudy since all the teams will play each other one more time. That is until next month's
"As much as I follow basketball for boys and girls, I've never seen this before halfway through your conference schedule," Lane said. "It's pretty unusual."

I remember, when I was pregnant, thinking that once I got to 37 weeks all was safe. And when one of our kids was born at 38 weeks, and the other at 36 weeks, I really didn't think much of it at all. And fortunately, everything was fine.
But new research is showing the risks to babies born in the 37th or even 38th week of pregnancy. They have a higher risk of dying before their first birthday than babies who are carried full term. From the New York Times:
Pregnancies lasting at least 37 weeks are regarded as safely full-term, but new research finds that babies born in the 37th or 38th week of pregnancy have a higher risk of dying before their first birthdays than those born after 39 weeks of gestation…
The new analysis, published online on May 23 in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, is among the first to examine differences between so-called early term births and later births. In 2006, infants born at 37 weeks were twice as likely to die in the first year of life, with 3.9 deaths per 1,000 births, as those born at 40 weeks, with 1.9 deaths per 1,000 births.
The study was done by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration and the March of Dimes. The group looked at data from 1995 to 2006. During that time, the number of infants born before 39 weeks of gestation increased to almost one in three births, up from more than one in five.

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
This one here really got my attention and really is very disturbing just because of the level and the severity of the cruelty. There are some people out there that just don't have any regard for animals or their vulnerability or how they look up to us. I'm glad that they're are great organizations out there like the ASPCA that help prevent things like this and that offer funding to help the victims. It may not be the legal thing to do but if I ever see anybody abusing an animal not only will it be calling the police but they will also be beat to hell by the time they get there and I will gladly go to jail for the rightful cause. Best wishes Joey.
My sincerest sympathies go out to Joey. I hope he is resting comfortably. Thank you for working to find the abuser of this poor puppy. Such a terrible act of cruelty!
I know the ASPCA will heal Joey. The laws in this country for animals should be as severe as people. Stricter laws is the only way this will stop. It makes me cry that people are this awful and do these things . . . animals are so loving, so much more than people. I'll take Joey, he needs someone to be thankful for him everyday. Be well Joey, hugs and kisses forever
Dearest Joey, I hope God will bless you with good health and a warm adopted family where you will be loved and not abused. No one deserves that type of cruelty, whoever did this to you may be punished 1000 times harder. God bless ASPCA and everyone who is working hard to save your life and catch the monsters who did this to you, sending you a big hug :)
Get well soon joey.... Im so sick of these people that cause harm to animals, if its nothing for them to do this to a living animal imagen what they would do to a human .... Wish that person the worst in life ..... Karma is beatiful so you will get yours....
If anyone locates this sub-human, let me know of his whereabouts. I have a bag and will take care of him.
This makes me ill!Let's bring him to the Jones Beach Theatre, fill the seats with ASPCA supporters, put him on the stage and stone him for all to see (and enjoy)! Then we can put him in a plastic bag and throw him in the ocean. Oh, never mind that part, I wouldn't want to pollute the waters...
I pray justice is done for this sweet little angel and all the other little angels like Joey. I know he will get through this and find a sweet loving home (I would adopt him in a heartbeat)!!! It makes me so angry there are monsters out there doing stuff like this but thank goodness for all the animal lovers out there who can overpower these ignorant cold hearted things because they are NOT people. Xoxo to Joey
I cry for Joey and wish I could help him and others like him more. I do not understand humans and how they can be so hateful to something so helpless. I hope they find the person who has done this and nail him to the wall. I think harsher punishments for animal abuse should be forced. Best wishes to Joey and I will do my part to help others like Joey.

The outer cornering knobs are slightly edged to keep you on your line. The double ply casing and pinch flat bumper help to make this tire rugged and ideal for hairy terrain. The dual compound tread means you will no longer need to sacrafice speed or grip. You really get the best of both worlds. The Invader FR is also significantly lighter than the DH version.
