The Reds may yet fight for the overturning of star playmaker Quade Cooper's suspension for Saturday's play-off against the Sharks.
Cooper will watch from the stands after what was deemed to be a dangerous high tackle on Berrick Barnes earned him a one-game ban. However, Queensland Rugby (QRU) said it is 'seriously considering' lodging an appeal.
QRU Chairman Rod McCall, CEO Jim Carmichael and their legal representatives are handling the matter, with the team and coaching staff instructed to focus on preparations.
McCall and Carmichael believe QRU presented a strong case the tackle did not warrant a suspension. 'We are obviously particularly sensitive to not disrupting the Reds team dynamics and preparation in launching an appeal at this late stage, however by not receiving the formal judgement until 8pm Tuesday after the decision was handed down on Monday evening, time is getting away from us in what was already a short preparation,' McCall said.
'Under the current Sanzar protocols, if we were to launch an appeal we would lose at least a further day of preparation with Ewen [McKenzie] and Quade who would both be required to fly to Sydney for another hearing. However, we are cognisant of the need to support our player if we feel he has been treated harshly and in our opinion we still strongly believe the tackle did not warrant suspension.
'After taking the advice of legal representatives, the QRU first intends to discuss the matter further with Sanzar before making a decision whether to launch an appeal within the allowed 48-hour period.'

Eastern Alamance running back Malcolm Summers lost a fumble just two plays into Friday night's non-conference game against Cummings High School.
After the tape on his hand came off following the fumble, Summers exploded for 126 yards on 13 carries and four touchdowns in the Eagles' convincing 63-28 romp against the Cavaliers.
"I had tape on my hand to start the game so it was kind of slick in my hands but I didn't think anything of it," Summers said. "I took the tape off and didn't lose it again. Coach got on to me real, real hard for the fumble. I don't usually fumble. But luckily my team helped me make up for it."
Cummings couldn't get much of anything going in the first quarter after the takeaway, punting on its first four drives. The result of each punt resulted in a touchdown the other way for the Eagles. All three scores came quickly.
One play after getting the ball back for its second drive on Cummings' 36-yard line, Summers gave the Eagles the lead with a 4-yard touchdown run on the heels of Daquan Sawyers' 33-yard run on the first play of the drive. The two-play possession took all of 15 seconds.
Summers also capped the scoring in the first quarter with a 30-yard touchdown run.
Following another punt from Cummings, quarterback John Lamot found Malik Wilson in the flat just 59 seconds after the Eagles got the ball back. Wilson took it 33 yards down the field, aided by blocks on the edge from Sawyers and Matt Pate.
"Every mistake we could make in the first quarter, we made," said Cummings coach Steve Johnson. "Poor tackling. Poor execution on offense. But we're not going to take away anything. Eastern Alamance was good. They were clicking on all cylinders. And when Eastern is clicking on all cylinders, they're a handful."
Cummings' offense started to come around late in the first quarter, picking up the game's first first down, but the Eagles defense held strong and forced another punt.
On the first play following the punt, with Eastern Alamance (2-0) starting with its worst field position, quarterback Joey Lanier found Sawyers over the middle for a 63-yard touchdown pass to deflate the Cavaliers.
"It's big to score like we do," Summers said. "That builds momentum and that's big. When we have good momentum, we put up a lot of points. Fast."
Tevin Smith and the Cavaliers offense started to take shape in the second quarter, but it was already too late as Lamot had run in another score from 21 yards out just 89 seconds into the quarter.
Desmond Satterfield got Cummings (0-2) on the board with 4:07 left in the half to cut the lead to 28-7.
Summers responded nearly three minutes later with a 2-yard touchdown run — his third of the night.
"Malcolm is a playmaker," said Eagles coach John Kirby. "Malcolm just needs to play and continue to play hard and good things will happen to him."
Cummings and Eastern Alamance each tallied 14 points the third quarter thanks to 16- and 64-yard touchdown passes from Smith to Shilow Morrow and Mosi Williams, respectively.
Eastern Alamance continued its dominance on the ground in the form of Summers and Lamot. Summers' final carry was a 4-yard touchdown run. Lamot also ran in another score, this time from 64-yards out. Again, he was aided with a key block from a receiver, this time from Isiah Evans.
"Our receivers blocked extremely well," Kirby said. "Our offense is scoring points right now and playing fast, and that's the kind of offense we want."
With most of its starters out by the fourth quarter, the Eagles didn't skip a beat with Brandon Bryner under center and Josh Lynch in at running back. The duo ran the Eagles down the field and Lynch punched it in from 9 yards out.
One last gasp effort from Cummings came on a highly athletic play from Devontray Allen. The backup running back, seemingly caught for a loss behind the line of scrimmage, reversed the field and ended up taking it 65 yards for a touchdown. It was his only carry.
Lanier started at quarterback for the Eagles and completed just one of five passes — the 63-yard touchdown pass. He didn't receive much help from his receivers, though, as they had multiple drops. The biggest came in the second quarter when a wide-open Wilson dropped a 35-yard would-be touchdown pass in the end zone.
Lamot finished 4-for-4 for 75 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 82 yards on just two carries, both of which ended with touchdowns.
"Our offense connected real well all around," Summers said. "We did everything real good.
Smith led the Cavaliers with 173 yards through the air on 11-for-25 passing. Satterfield recorded 60 yards on 16 carries.
"Eastern beat us on both sides," Johnson said. "On the lines, their speed was definitely a big factor. And once they got a step and an opening, we didn't have enough athleticism to cover that.
"We've got some execution things that we have to get through, but we'll come next week against Williams prepared and we'll see what happens."

Hundreds of cats rescued from an environment of terrible neglect are receiving loving care in new homes this week. The ASPCA helped multiple agencies in Florida adopt out the cats during three major adoption events on August 11 and 12.
The events, hosted by the Jacksonville Humane Society, Cat Depot and Humane Society of Pinellas (with assistance from Bay Area DART), drew more than 1,600 people to cities across Florida to adopt hundreds of cats rescued in late February from Caboodle Ranch.
This Saturday, August 18, the Halifax Humane Society is hosting another event to find homes for some of the remaining cats with special needs, including those who are FIV-positive or have feline leukemia. Please see the details below.
What: Halifax Humane Society Adoption Event
When: Saturday, August 18, 10:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M.
Where: Volusia County Fairgrounds (Hester Building) 3150 E. New York Avenue (State Road 44) DeLand, FL
How to Adopt:Potential adopters should bring with them one government-issued photo ID (i.e., driver's license, passport, military ID or non-driver ID) and proof of address.
With your help, the ASPCA is able to rescue animals across the country. Your gift today will make a critical difference for thousands of others who need our help. Thank you for making a tangible difference in the lives of homeless cats and dogs.
I'm happy that these cats are finding homes and being cared for. Why did it take a year to investigate this place? That in it of itself is a crime.
It's wonderful of the ASPCA to rescue these cats from their rescuer. It seems clear the man's intentions were good, he just became overwhelmed and didn't know how to ask for help.
Craig Grant is a wonderful man! The ranch was well maintained with plenty of food and fresh water. I know because I visited there twice. Shelters constantly struggle with communicable diseases. The Caboodle Ranch was no different. The differce was that Craig chose to treat the animals vs. kill them. Julie Lepper
The people who are defending this man don't have a clue what really was going on at Caboodle Ranch. The ASPCA or any other large organization would not be involved in a rescue if it truly was not needed. They are the experts, people need to respect their evaluation and their actions. These cats were suffering and needed medical care. There is no excuse for that. People had been reporting him for some time. This was not just a whim and a quick decision to intervene on behalf of the cats.
Do you notice how it is people who gave up their cats who are the ones defending this guy? Is hoarding a mental disorder, or just greed? The guy took money and animals, and didn't do what he was supposed to do. He cheated people, he committed fraud, and he lied. Let's stop with the bleeding heart analysis and call him and everyone else who support him what they really are - self serving shit faces who try to ease their own inhumane consciences by supporting a fellow inhumane shit face. Piss on them all.
I think this should have been handled in a much better way. ASPCA should be ashamed for this. I am disapointed. Yes,he had too many cats to manage well, and ASPCA could have helped him adopt some out and other management assistance but to actually cause more death and suffering of cats puts ASPCA in the same "heav-y handed jackbooted" category as the Inhumane society and Peta. Donate to your local no kill shelters and TNRs, not Humane Society or ASPCA, I really expected better of this organization. There a definitely two sides to this story and I hope someone does a fair documentary or story about this.
I am not going to JUDGE the man who had the cats, but I AM very, very happy to hear that they are being rescued and given good, loving homes at last!! I am happy that there IS an ASPCA, and that they ARE helping animals by being alert and active every day!! YAY ASPCA!!! YOU ROCK!!! :)
Hypocrites. Judge away, God will be doing the last judging.
All I have to say is I am glad the cats are getting adopted and finding new homes. For those of you who don't understand why this happened and are unaware of the evidence found from this cat "haven" please visit caboodleranch.net. It shows some of the court evidence used in the trial for Craig... I warn you it is very disturbing.

Webinars on the August 2013 Revisions to the SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors
In August 2013, EPA revised the SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors, which was originally issued on December 2, 2005. The Guidance is designed to assist EPA inspectors in implementing the SPCC rule requirements, understanding SPCC applicability, and to help clarify the role of the inspector in reviewing a facility's implementation of the performance-based provisions of the rule. The guidance, designed to facilitate nationally consistent implementation and interpretation of the SPCC Rule, is also available to owners and operators of facilities that may be subject to the requirements of the SPCC rule, and to the general public on how EPA intends the SPCC rule to be implemented.
The revised Guidance contains seven main chapters of the guidance and supporting documents in Appendices B–Select Regulations, C–Summary of Revised Rule Provisions, and H–Other Policy Documents.
Webinar Sessions
Webinar sessions will be available for SPCC stakeholders. These webinars will provide an overview of the revisions to the SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors document. Each session will be approximately 90-minutes long, including time to address questions. The intended audience for these outreach sessions are stakeholders in the SPCC regulated community, which include, but are not limited to, Professional Engineers (PE) and facility owners who maintain SPCC Plans or will be updating SPCC Plans.
Webinar presentation materials: Revisions to the SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors: Outreach sessions for the regulated community (85 pp, 2.5M, about PDF)
***Note: These sessions may be attended in high volumes. It is recommended that one person registers per group and that groups call-in and access the webinar from one location.

|The New Trailside Cookbook
100 Delicious Recipes for the Camp Chef
by Kevin Callan & Margaret Howard
The New Trailside Cookbook is the result of a unique partnership between canoe enthusiast Kevin Callan and food and nutrition consultant Margaret Howard. With Margaret creating delicious, healthy recipes for the camp kitchen and Kevin providing the how-to information, it is a perfect match -- like having Red Green and Julia Child outside with you. Say goodbye to bland, canned meals and hello to satisfying, fireside dishes.
This comprehensive book covers everything from making great camp coffee to variations of GORP (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts), from foraging for wild edibles to mastering meals after the ice melts to living off the land. Hikers, kayakers, day-trippers, wilderness and interior campers alike will find options and advice in this handy, pocket-sized guide.
Recipes clearly indicate what preparation can be done at home, making cooking at camp quick and easy. Dehydrated options (and detailed instructions) are listed for campers outstaying their cooler's capacity.
Dishes include hearty morning starts like Peanut Butter Banana Muffins; easy lunches like Mushroom Quinoa Salad; quick pickups such as Apricot Sunflower Seed Cereal Bars; dinners that make the most of fresh catch, like Herb-stuffed Grilled Fish; and sweet endings such as Roasted Rhubarb with Honey and Rosemary. In addition, there is a section dedicated to cold-weather winter camping, and for those only outdoors for a day or two, a chapter on Weekend Gourmet is the place to go for special meals.
Kevin's wilderness skills and Margaret's culinary experience combine in this book to please outdoor enthusiasts of all ages, levels and outdoor locations.

A&F Fierce is just the BEST! I always get compliments and comments whenever I wear it and my wife is the one that turned me on to it. Gotta love that woman!!
Written by Anonymous on June 16, 2014Read Review details ►
Who could have predicted a clothing company associated with vapid, narcissistic teens would have produced one of the best adult male fragrances ever. Described as a clean, fresh, refined woody scent, FIERCE is far too complex to analyze in detail. Rather than smelling like dessert or poor hygene like most contemporary men's fragrances do, FIERCE is one of the few colognes on the market that actually smells like cologne. It is a versatile, masculine, four season winner with a well groomed quality that wears consistently over time without degrading into its individual fragrance notes. FIERCE has set a new standard of excellence in the world of fragrance that few colognes can match.

The absolute BEST. Everytime I wear this, I get multiple comments and asked what it is I'm wearing and the women love it. I have multiple bottles of it, never want to run out. Though it is pricey, it's well worth the bucks. I'm divorced and it's definitely an attraction. I have well over 300 bottles of very expensive cologne, however this is by far my favorite and I carry a bottle in my brief case, one in my car and have several in located in multiple rooms in my house and in storage. Can't Get Enough!

All players would improve from day one to two followed by Ryan Franklin concluding with an 80 and 76. Alex Valls posted an 81/76 while freshman Austin Kiker went 83/76.

Chocolate Connoisseur
It should come as no surprise that we understand quality hot cocoa. This indulgent drink was born in our region more than 500 years ago. Mexico's Aztec people were known to crush cacao beans and froth them into a drink spiced with chilies and vanilla. Spanish explorers found Aztec storehouses brimming with the precious beans and witnessed King Montezuma sipping chocolate from his chalice 50 times a day to enhance his virility.
Our specialty blend combines dark cocoa with pure cane sugar. The hot cocoa is rich without being heavy and has a silky mouth feel. Sip it with breakfast or as an afternoon treat. Add a dash of chili powder and a touch of vanilla to summon the ancients! Create your own ritual.

The below opinions reflect the views of the users of this site and are not in any way the views of The Webcomic List.
This comic is about bros. And their dicks. And bros. And their dicks. And thats it. It\'s so shallow it would fit right under a closed door. There is the exceptional OK joke in it, as the exception to prove the rule. Sorry, nothing better to say about this. The other comic from that guy is a little better. Probably because it is not just about bros. And their dicks.
It\'s weird that the male characters in this comic are pretty fleshed out, with interesting stories and totally relatable strengths and flaws, but all the female characters (not that there are many) are just static and boring and have very little personality. Oh, and the fact that all the female characters are drawn the same way, with that weird porn-like figure, while all the male characters have varied looks and body types? Yeah, that\'s weird too.
Every one of the male characters has had at least one major storyline about him. Not so for ANY of the female characters. Why is that? Hey Sohmer, did you know that girls exist in real life and it\'s not just to give guys like you masturbation fodder. Girls - nay, women even! - have jobs and thoughts and tell jokes and some don\'t even care if her appearance pops a boner for you.
And what\'s with the hate on fat people? Were you a fat kid or something? Seriously, I\'ve read some of your rants about fat people and it sounds like you\'re afraid they\'ll all form into some giant fat transformer and set the country on fire. Do you have nightmares about that?
In conclusion, yes I\'ve read this comic. I even bought some of the books before I came to my senses and threw them away. Sohmer, you\'re a good writer. deSouza, you\'re a great artist. Please use your talents on something a little less crappy.
One of my most favorite comics ever. Hilarious, good artwork, and good characters. What else does a comedic comic need? I don\'t understand why someone would say its repetitive. I\'ve read every single LICD strip since the beginning, and I haven\'t felt like I was seeing repetition at all. I love how the writer keeps it fresh somehow. Also, if you hate Rayne, then you must love eating babies.
one of the best webcomics i have read so far.
btw: don\'t take the jokes about women too serious, just see this comic as what it is: a daily joke that\'s always good for a laughter
LICD has a second to none, semi-realistic but believable artwork style that is beautiful but simple enough to allow a new comic on every day of the week. Funny when it insults women AND everybody else.
This comic is boring
This comic reminds be of Menage a 3, except the main character actually gets laid. A lot. Which doesn\'t make it better. Its got a good artist (currently), but a writer who does nothing but write repetitive jokes.
And Rayne is the most unlikeable dude ever. I don\'t even love to hate him. I just hate him.
The art is fantastic and the story is funny...why isn\'t this ranked higher?
A comic with a broad diverse cast, too bad it completely lies on the shoulders of one. A straight male geek's wet dream.
This is definitely one of the best webcomics around. Now, there is a fair amount of sexist humor in here, but it is not meant seriously. All of the characters a very well developed, and it sticks with a working formula. It updates mon-fri, and a lot of work is put into it.
The artwork has undergone a few changes, and the personalities change a bit every time. I was a big fan of the previous artist, but I still like the current one.
@Stormblazer: You really read to need more than the first year- when Lar Desouza became the artist, the art improved immensely.
Anyway- nice, clean artwork, decent writing, overall, a very pretty good webcomic. Worth a read.
Read the first year... the art is so-so, and while the jokes were funny, the basic concept is recycled so many times, it just ceases to be funny anymore. 8bit theater has a similar problem IMO, the original jokes just get recycled endlessly.
And I don't understand how you call that good art. The male characters are average, and all the female characters are below average in drawing quality.
Granted, the original jokes WERE very very funny. Just not the 40th time through.
great art. and just the right amount of perverted-ness mixed with humor.
this is EXACTLY what a gag-a-day comic with continuity should be. i literally can find nothing wrong with it. excellent.
Quite possibly one of the funniest comics out there. The humor isn't meant for everyone, but those who enjoy this kind of humor will love it. Plus, it updates daily, so you always get to start your day off with a laugh.
Bowel cancer is indeed much funnier.
Destiny's Darkness
Hilarious comic. I am a woman, and I somehow manage to keep from being offended. Read it!!
I love this comic! I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that every man in the world wishes that he can be like Rayne. Not only is he a super super gigalo with the ladies, but he is also an uber geek who's into Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings. Also, it's nice to see him holding what is my favorite drink, Red Bull. Simply awesome. Understandably, no one can get away with the things that Rayne does in the real world, but that don't mean that it aint what we all feel like doing. Throw in some of the best supporting characters in comics and you got yourself a winner here.
Really good comic! Keep it up!
Rayne Summers is the best comic book protagonist of all time. This comic is not crude with a veiled intelligence to it.
Always hilarious, and updates every day.
I love being able to start my day off with the adventures of Rayne.
It does insult women, but it is not meant in a serious manner.
LICD is awesome!!! Keep bailing on those fat chicks!!!
This is a most hilarious comic which deserves to be on everyone's favourites list! The art is well-drawn, the jokes are funny and the characters are well-done.
i think this comic is amazing. the art looks pro, its usually fairly amusing, though sometimes overusing some jokes
Casts a Shadow
Very professional looking. Funny at times, but not always.
For particular tastes due to the more-than-obvious gender bias.
Very funny comic about picking up women. Some might find this to be offensive to women: they probably are no males, and have this bag of sand that somehow wound up in their panties. It's all in good fun and the jokes work very well.
This has to be one of the greatest comics. Ok... so most are a little insulting to certain people, but you have to think of it in the concept... or just have a perverted mind. Rayne is classic. Its a comic about a perverted, sex addicted male with the IQ of about 7.
So I enjoy the comic. Guess i'm not included in the "anyone" in PlotlessViolence's comment. I have lots of friends who enjoy them too.
I guess I'm the opposite of PlotlessViolence and only find it funny when there are no issults to women.
which is rare
The art was good, but has changed to a different style that I don't like. (The style is well done -- just not to my taste!!)
about as funny as bowel cancer.
I'll agree that saying every comic was funny was badly worded. I meant MOST are.
Drawn together is never funny though.
I don't think ANYONE believes every strip is funny. And Fourth-Wall-Breaking is never funny. I think the last time EVER a 4th-Wall joke was funny was on the show "Drawn Together" where the Princess is saying, "I don't think Foxxy likes me, because her hand got all blurry when I walked in...but she could have been waving, or giving me the OK sign, or....Oh...."
Before that, the last time a 4th-wall joke was funny was the 1980s(?) Daffy Duck cartoon where the artist used the eraser to constantly modify the canvas in motion.
You are a moron. The entire comic is funny, and even the 4th wall breaks, unlike other comics, manage to be funny. I'm changing the synopsis, but I guess it's kinda ok.
This is funny when the main character is offending women.
It is nauseatingly cringe-worthy when it breaks the fourth wall.
It is boring pretty much anytime it tries to do anything other than insult/offend women.

Death on the Nile: A Hercule Poirot Mystery
Death on the Nile: A Hercule Poirot Mystery (Paperback)
Related Editions
The tranquillity of a cruise along the Nile was shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. She was young, stylish, and beautiful. A girl who had everything . . . until she lost her life.
Hercule Poirot recalled an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: "I'd like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger." Yet in this exotic setting nothing is ever quite what it seems.
About the Author
Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in one hundred foreign countries. She is the author of eighty novels and short-story collections, nineteen plays, and six novels under the name Mary Westmacott. She died in 1976.
Praise for Death on the Nile: A Hercule Poirot Mystery…
"The construction is flawless."
-Daily Mail (London)
"Must be read twice, once for enjoyment and once to see how the wheels go round."
-The Times (London)
"The main alibi is of the first brilliance … the descriptive work hits, as it were, the Nile on the head."
-The Observer (London)
"A peach of a case for Poirot. I take my hat off to the author for as ingenious an alibi as can well be imagined."
-Sunday Times (London)

In the late 1980s, the College was adding Chinese to the curriculum, and the decision to focus on China was both prescient and advantageous. Through the partnership with Nanjing University, Grinnell receives two research scholars from Nanjing each year, along with a visiting instructor of Chinese. Grinnell in return sends two of its faculty or staff each year to teach students in Nanjing.
Ken Christiansen, professor emeritus of biology, spent an entire semester there in 1990. His story is just one of many. The Grinnell Magazine online would like to invite other faculty members or students who have spent time in Nanjing to submit their stories; selections will be posted on theGrinnell Magazine website.
See a full listing of Grinnell faculty members who have traveled to Nanjing to teach.
Caving and More
"I had been missing teaching very much," remembers Ken Christiansen. The professor emeritus of biology traveled to China in 1990 to spend half a year teaching at Nanjing University.
"I've always been very interested in China," he adds.
The trip held its enticements and challenges. He was anxious to meet a student in Beijing working on Collembola, the group of arthropods that has been the focus of Christiansen's research and study. He spent a week with her, and even canceled a planned trip to see the Great Wall in order to spend more time working with her. "That was really stupid," he says regretfully.
At Nanjing, he taught Soil Biology to about 48 Chinese students. Few spoke good English, so Christiansen was forced to compose and print his lectures ahead of time so the students could read along with him as he read them. It was a teaching style he did not enjoy. Christiansen supervised the senior theses of three students and got to know them very well.
Among Christiansen's most positive experiences in China was collecting cave Collembola in various regions of China. "I was very interested in cave biology," Christiansen says.
In one such area, the inhabitants spoke a language unknown to all of Christiansen's party, save the government guide. "I was the first foreigner of any sort anyone had seen," he says. "If I'd stop, a crowd would gather around just to stare at me."
His wife, Phyllis, came to China for a month-long visit, and the pair traveled together to see some of China's sights. Although the train travel was rough -- especially the bathrooms ("They made army latrines look like a model of cleanliness") -- the Christiansens saw many wonderful things. "We had some lovely, very interesting times," Christiansen says. He remembers in particular a kite festival ("They had fantastic kites") and a lantern festival ("Spectacular"). The banquets, too, were lavish, though cultural differences can make eating interesting. Christiansen recalls some corned beef -- "I thought it was pretty tasty," he says. Then he found out that it wasn't actually beef -- it was dog. "I found it tasty, and later, when I spent a week at the Karst Laboratory in Guilin, I attempted to have it included in the banquet I gave for the staff at the end of my stay. However, the staff person who was my good friend and translator changed it to duck, since he said dog was not suitable for fo reigners.
"China has changed so much I wouldn't recognize it," Christiansen says. One of his best students in his many years of teaching, Hanghang Wang '07, came to Grinnell from her hometown near Nanjing, China. She's now in medical school at Dartmouth.
Christiansen continues to cooperate and collaborate with his friend and research colleague Chen and Chen's biology students.
Christiansen says of his time in China, "We had some wonderful experiences."

Let me set the stage a bit for you. MattG is a productive person - the kind of guy who sets out to get the job done. For example, he doesn't come to Parallax to eat his lunch and he looks forward to getting the day's project underway. He's expressed concern about our total time consumption for the monthly Parallax birthday parties where we gather all the birthday recipients together at one time. Heck, we derail at least 40 productive people for a half hour just to ingest a bunch of sugar. MattG typically shows up to get his cake and retreats quickly back to his work space. So, what better way to celebrate his big 50 than something like a special party just for him? Envision:
Internal Page All: Attention, we have a special announcement. Please drop your soldering irons and close your e-mail. There is a special birthday today - somebody has turned 50 years old! Matt Gilliland and everybody, please come up front to eat some cake!
Of course, MattG didn't hear the message because he was in the router/laser room. The cyclone was spinning 1500 CFM and all he was thinking was about getting a fixture made for the selective soldering machine. Amidst the noise, MattH (the other Matt) retrieved the 50-year-old and brought him forward so we could force him into his very own party. Present at the party was the whole crew plus Matt's special friend Carl, who brought the cake to Parallax.
As MattG really likes his work and Parallax customers, I felt it was an event worth sharing. Happy Birthday, MattG! We appreciate everything you do!
Ken Gracey

In his most recent financial disclosure from 2011, Obama and his wife reported having between $200,000 and $450,000 in the Vanguard 500 Index Fund, which invests in the largest U.S. corporations. According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as of Sept. 30, 2011, the fund's biggest holding was 8,272,039 shares of Apple Inc., then valued at $3.2 billion.
The New York Times reported in January:
Not long ago, Apple boasted that its products were made in America. Today, few are. Almost all of the 70 million iPhones, 30 million iPads and 59 million other products Apple sold last year were manufactured overseas….

The measure legalized marijuana in the state. A similar measure was on the 2006 ballot in the state, where it was defeated.[1][2]
The initiative was filed eight different times with the Colorado Attorney General around the date of May 20, 2011 in hopes of making the 2012 ballot. All of the initiatives asked whether or not to legalize the use and possession of, at most, an ounce of marijuana for residents who were 21 and older. In addition, all eight initiatives allowed the state to regulate retail sales of the drug. The proposal was filed eight times, with some differences, in order for supporters to see which one would pass the Title Setting Review Board, and allow for circulation of petitions.[3]
In April 2013 the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to uphold the firing of a man who used medical marijuana while not at work. Brandon Coats, a quadriplegic who has a prescription for the drug in the state, contested his termination by claiming he was protected by the Colorado Lawful Off-Duty Activities Statute. The law prohibits employers from firing employees for engaging in legal activity outside of work, however it is silent on the matter of federal versus state law. The court refuted the claim by ruling that the statute does not extend to protecting individuals who violate federal outside of work.[4]
Amendment 64 explicitly stated the intention of a state sales tax to be used to fund the regulation of the marijuana industry as well as education improvements throughout the state. In 2013, voters approved a ballot question, Proposition AA, that enacted a 15% excise tax and a 10% sales tax on retail marijuana. This is the proposed execution of the tax funding regulation and education intended by Amendment 64. The proposed tax rate, 25% in total, with the option of an increase to 30% has caused much controversy and there is a large movement running the campaign against Proposition AA. Read about all the details of Proposition AA and the controversy surrounding it here. And stay tuned to see what voters will decide in the fall.

Text of the measure
Ballot language
The ballot language of the measure read as follows:[5]
|Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado constitution concerning marijuana, and, in connection therewith, providing for the regulation of marijuana; permitting a person twenty-one years of age or older to consume or possess limited amounts of marijuana; providing for the licensing of cultivation facilities, product manufacturing facilities, testing facilities, and retail stores; permitting local governments to regulate or prohibit such facilities; requiring the general assembly to enact an excise tax to be levied upon wholesale sales of marijuana; requiring that the first $40 million in revenue raised annually by such tax be credited to the public school capital construction assistance fund; and requiring the general assembly to enact legislation governing the cultivation, processing, and sale of industrial hemp?[6]
In 2006, 59% of Colorado voters rejected Amendment 44, which would have legalized the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for those 21 or over. Medical marijuana is legal in Colorado under the terms of a bill signed into law by Gov. Bill Ritter, but some marijuana activists say that the time is right to expand the legality of marijuana to cover recreational use also.[1][1]
- Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol
- Democratic Party of Colorado
- Moms and Dads for Marijuana Regulation
- The Cannabis Therapy Institute in Boulder, Colorado, announced on June 11, 2010 that it planned to put together a campaign to qualify an amendment to the Colorado Constitution that would make recreational use of marijuana legal. The campaign launched in support of the proposed initiative was Legalize2012.com[7].[1]
- Brian Vicente, executive director of Sensible Colorado stated: "I think people in this state have come to understand that marijuana is not the dangerous substance that law enforcement and the federal government have made it out to be."[8]
- According to Tony Ryan, a former police officer with the Denver Police Department, and who was helping with the initiative: "During my 36 years as a Denver cop I arrested more people for marijuana than I care to remember, but it didn't amount to one bit of good for our citizens. Keeping marijuana illegal doesn't do anything to reduce marijuana use, but it does benefit the gangs and cartels who control the currently illegal marijuana trade."[9]
- State Senator Shawn Mitchell stated, "It's clear the War on Drugs isn't working, and we need to try different approaches to this in society."[10]
- Denver resident Wanda James stated about recreational legalization, "If you would like to come home and have a joint and relax with your wife or your husband, I see absolutely no issue with that whatsoever. There are more ways to relax than just someone having a can of Coors or Jim Beam."[11]
- In an article published by Care 2, the article gave three reasons to legalize marijuana. One reason stated, "Critics say that if legalized, marijuana will flood the streets, and all of our children will be reduced to couch-dwelling pot heads. According to the latest report from the federal government, however, marijuana use by Colorado high school students has dropped since the state and its localities began regulating medical marijuana in 2009. Amendment 64 would regulate marijuana and restrict its sale to licensed stores, as is currently done with alcohol. Doing so dramatically reduces consumers' exposure to harder drugs (often available from the same dude selling the illegal marijuana) and their temptation to experiment with them." Read the other two reasons here.
- According to Mason Tvert, co-director of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, "The nation wastes billions of taxpayer dollars annually on the failed policy of marijuana prohibition. This is an election about Colorado law and whether the people of Colorado believe that we should continue wasting law enforcement resources to maintain the failed policy of marijuana prohibition. Our nation was founded upon the idea that states would be free to determine their own policies on matters not delegated to the federal government. The Controlled Substance Act itself acknowledges that Congress never intended to have the federal government fully 'occupy the field' of marijuana policy. We hope the Obama administration respects these state-based policy debates."[12]
- The group Smart Colorado was the main opposition to the measure.
- State Senator Steve King stated about the initiative effort and possible ballot measure: "I honestly believe that when Coloradans go to the ballot box they're going to vote no to dope in Colorado."
- Denver Mayor Michael Hancock was against the measure.[13]
- James D. Kellog, founder of LiberTEAWatch.com, stated in a column published by the Glenwood Springs Post Independent about marijuana legalization: "The Constitution of the United States guarantees that American citizens are generally free to make choices about their lives. But when it comes to marijuana and other drugs, we must tread carefully. Coloradans should ponder a simple question. Can our communities conceive an effective plan to keep legalized pot out of our kids' hands? Perhaps we should look to alcohol for the answer."[14]
- Corey Donahue, a marijuana legalization activist, stated that the measure does not go far enough to legalize marijuana. Donahue argued: "It's going to have regulations, so it's going to create more rules. Regulation isn't legalization."[15]
- In a letter written to the Colorado Attorney General urging him to oppose the measure, Smart Colorado Attorney Jon Anderson stated, "As you know, Colorado has the most expansive medical marijuana industry in the country. To further expand their drug profits, this industry will invest enormous sums of money to erase all state restrictions on growing, transporting, and selling marijuana in Colorado. It is critical that Colorado voters understand the serious legal and policy implications of passing such a dangerous law."[16]
- A panel of state legislators stated that legalizing marijuana wouldn't automatically produce a large revenue from the new tax on the drug. According to reports, legislators would be required to refer any tax on marijuana to voters in order for them to approve it. According to State Senator John Morse, "Now all of a sudden we got a new constitutional amendment that may say, 'Hey, we can dictate how legislators vote all the time.' It would be offensive to our system of government in my view, but it may turn out to be the law of the land."[17]
- Amie Baca-Oehlert, vice president of the Colorado Education Association stated, "Drugs and kids don't mix. As an educator and as a parent, I am not comfortable supporting something that I know is harmful to children," Baca-Oehlert said. "Marijuana has impacts, negative impacts, on attention span, brain development, all of these things that impact learning."[18]
Analysis and studies

Colorado Center on Law & Policy analysis
A budgetary analysis done by the Colorado Center on Law & Policy analysis on the measure concluded the following results:[19]
- Could generate as much as a total of $60 million in savings and revenue.
- $12 million dollars of annual savings in criminal justice costs
- $24 million in excise tax revenue
- $8.7 million in state sales tax revenue
- $14.5 million in local tax revenue
- Creation of several hundred new jobs.
Presidential election implications
According to reports, Colorado was a key state in the 2012 presidential election, and the marijuana measure had potential for broad implications that November. Reports said that President Barack Obama's and Republican candidate Mitt Romney's stance regarding marijuana legalization, regulation and taxation like alcohol had the potential to influence voters in Colorado.[20]
- See also: Polls, 2012 ballot measures
- A majority of voters surveyed in a poll released on August 11, 2011 by Public Policy Polling stated they were in favor of legalizing marijuana. The poll had a margin of error of +/- 4.3%, and the question asked to voters who were surveyed was: "Do you think marijuana usage ought to be legal or illegal?"[21][22]
- Another poll conducted by Public Policy Polling was taken on the issue of marijuana legalization. The results of the poll were released on December 9, 2011. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5%.[23]
- The results of a survey conducted by Rasmussen Polling on June 6, 2012 were released on June 9, 2012 showing strong support for the Colorado Marijuana Legalization Initiative. According to the findings, 61% of those polled support the legalization of marijuana if it was regulated like alcohol and cigarettes. In contrast, 27% were opposed to any legalization and the remaining 12% were undecided. 500 likely voters were polled and the poll had a margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points.[24][25]
- According to a poll released by Public Policy Polling on August 8 of 779 likely voters, 47% said they supported Amendment 64, while 38% of those surveyed opposed it. The poll had a margin of error of +/-3.5%.[26]

Bruce v. Colorado Title-Setting Board
A lawsuit was filed on July 11, 2011 against the proposed ballot measure, stating that the proposal does not make it clear that taxes would be raised. Douglas Bruce, of Colorado Springs, filed the lawsuit with the state Supreme Court.
However, Brian Vicente of Sensible Colorado stated that the five-business day allowance to challenge the measure has already passed. A spokesman for the Colorado Secretary of State claimed that since the ballot measure language was revised, the legal challenge could move forward.[27]
Blue book lawsuit
Proponents of the measure filed a lawsuit to delay the printing of 2012's ballot information booklet, also known as the blue book.
According to reports, the booklet was sent to voters in the state to provide details on ballot measures that are on the general election ballot. According to supporters of Amendment 64, the lawsuit argued that the legislative committee struck final draft key language in the section describing arguments in support of the initiative.[28]
However, on September 13, 2012, the lawsuit was dismissed by Denver District Court Judge Robert Hyatt due to what reports say was a "jurisdictional issue."[29]
Path to the ballot
In order to qualify the initiative for the 2012 ballot in the state, supporters were required to gather 85,853 valid signatures by the August 6, 2012 petition drive deadline.
The eight filed proposals were heard on June 1, 2011 by the Colorado Office of Legislative and Legal Services. Suggestions that the committee gave pertaining to the wording of the proposals included clarifying the state's medical marijuana laws and other references to it. Other suggestions included technical matters such as using both "ensure" and "insure" throughout the proposals. According to reports, more specifics about what the phrase "under the age of 21" meant were requested.[30]
Election Review Board
During the week of June 15, 2011, it was reported that all eight filed ballot measures were under review by a state election review board. Supporters of the measure will wait to hear from legal challenges before deciding on which measure they will move forward with and collect signatures for.[31]
Challenges were made to the proposed ballot measure language by marijuana legalization supporters during the week of July 6, 2011. Challenges included the accusation that comparing the drug to alcohol was flawed. There was no limit to alcohol purchases in the state, but the ballot proposal included a provision that marijuana possession had limits, according to the challenge. Other supporters of legalization said that it was too much to ask voters to approve marijuana with no limits, hinting that it could fail if placed on the ballot.[32]
Signature collection
Despite protests from other marijuana supporters who claimed the measure was flawed, signature collection began on July 7, 2011. According to one of the petition drive organizers, Mason Tvert, the campaign aimed to appeal to Republicans and older voters instead of those who are already on board with the proposal.[33]
As of September 1, 2011, the campaign to put the initiative on the ballot had collected 35,000 signatures, according to reports.[15]
It was reported on September 24, 2011 that supporters had collected nearly half of the signatures needed to qualify for the ballot.[34]
Signature gathering
According to reports, supporters of the initiative planned to turn in signatures on January 4, 2012. Supporters stated they would submit more than 155,000 signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State's office. Signatures were submitted that day.[35][36]
However, on February 3, 2012, the Colorado Secretary of State announced that the initiative effort had fallen short about 2,500 signatures. According to reports, supporters of the proposal had until February 15, 2012 to submit the additional signatures required to make the ballot.[37]
Supporters of the initiative turned in the additional signatures needed to make the ballot.[38]
On February 27, 2012, the Colorado Secretary of State verified the signatures, placing the measure on the 2012 ballot.[39]

Samsung UN46B6000 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED TV and PS3 audio
by jasontricci - 4/25/10 10:24 AM
I currently have my PS3 hooked directly into my Samsung television via PS3 brand HDMI cable. I seem to notice that the television drops it's center channel audio when playing and DVD or Bluray. What I notice is audio that appears "muffled", as though the television is attempting to play 5.1 or above audio format, while it only supports 2 channel. I have to turn the volume way up even to hear spoken dialogue. Can you suggest any modifications to the television audio settings, or possibly even the ps3 settings, that may correct this issue.

Let's remember all affected by Katrina

Eric Gordon's return has really given me a different vantage point of things. If he's healthy, then this team fills a giant hole and is several steps closer to being a good team. As of now, we are loaded in the front court with Davis, Anderson, Lopez, and Smith, which gives us some flexibility in terms of trade assets. We are also likely to have a early to mid-lottery pick which will almost assuredly be BPA, granted we don't trade it away. Add in the large space of salary cap we will have to potentially draw in a high profile free agent (which Dell and Monty have alluded to in the past), then you have a very encouraging rebuild.
The team probably wants Rivers to become the true starter at point guard by next season, but I think they will start to really make their intentions known (if they have any) later in the season if he begins to eat Vasquez's minutes. So, I don't think bringing in a free agent point guard is priority number one. However, there will be a veteran player at small forward by no later than the start of next season. I really feel like they're going to go hard after Andre Igoudala or Andrei Kirilenko as H247 has stated in their Missing Piece series.
What concerns me most about this squad is the depth on the wings, or lack thereof. Whether Rivers or Vasquez comes off the bench at some point makes no difference because they'll have no one to really play with on the wings. Luckily, the likes of Aminu, Henry, Mason Jr., and McGuire all fall off the books next season. Brian Roberts and Darius Miller are both team options. The tricky part will be trying to find wings that can play well on a second unit even if they have very defined roles: 3-point shooting, driving ability, lock-down defense, etc. Right now, as McNamara stated above, we're playing with guys who are far below replacement level, and that's not something that a team that wants to contend will manage with. Whoever we draft in the first round will not be a starter next season, they may not even get much time off of the bench (or deserve it because it's a weak class), which makes our pick something that should be dangled in a package for a veteran player.
In the end, I think the picture of the future starting lineup is beginning to become clearer, but the bench is an impossible mystery. But, given our flexibility, it's an exciting mystery. Cheers!
