What do you think about this video?
Gary Morton: Walmart in Toronto had a Trio Stealth 8.1" tablet so cheap (90 bucks) that
I bought it while passing. I'm more of a large laptop guy. But I played
around with the tablet. I bought a case with Bluetooth keyboard for 50
bucks. Bluetooth hung for a bit but picked up the keyboard. The Wifi would
not work with the long home wifi number on back of my router, I had to
contact my provider and change it to an 8 character password. But it did to
connect to the long number thing elsewhere.
Android KitKat 4.4.2 works well, Netflix was good. Forget about sound
unless you use phones or plug it to another sound system. The processor was
quad core in a 90 buck tablet. 500 K ram. I even put on some productivity
apps like ftp, that worked and AOO the port of Open Office and actually
figured out how to work with word docs on that small 8.1 screen. The
battery is not the best though and eats the power in a few hours. Web
browsing was good -the native browser was the only one that opened secure
https sites on it. Firefox was the best mobile browser. Front and read
cameras were okay though low res. I put on a couple photo edit apps. I ran
an app I created -from google play to test it.
If you consider how much the top tablets cost, you can't beat the cheap
Trios simply in that you can do things with it and it costs so little. For
top tablets, the price is so high you might as well buy an expensive
Tom M: What do you think of their "new" re-fill card pricing? Pretty sneaky, huh? T-Mobile along with Walmart just doubled the cost of the re-fill cards for the Trio-AXS tablet. What once was a "good deal" now has become an "expensive deal". $35.00 used to get you a 60 day access period with 3.5GB of data. They have discontinued that card option. Now you MUST pay either $10.00 for a 7 day 1GB re-fill card or $30.00 for a 30 day 3GB re-fill card. This means what used to cost us $35.00 for 60 days will now cost either $60.00 or $80.00 depending on what card you buy. Not a good deal anymore…and pretty darn sneaky of T-Mobile and Walmart if you ask me. They sucked me in with a great deal and then changed the rules in order to make more money. That's NOT good business…it's just plain underhanded and dishonest. STAY AWAY from this product. Who knows when they'll get the urge to double their prices AGAIN!!!

nicole walton: do u know how to unlock it
Bang Duck: Thumbs down, because relative terms, like good, slow, happy etc. are not helping make a decision. Benchmark tests seem to be the only reliable indication of performance. Let's make a bench-marking a standard part of a review and avoid thousands of useless subjective videos.
nancy j: The first tablet I received would not even pick up wifi in my own home, I returned at my cost and received another replacement, that doesn't charge at all I am getting very frustrated since I bought through amazon they say I have to deal with the company. Is there another product that you think would be better if they would allow me to switch it out, I would even pay alittle more if needed?
frankiehazard: this is like the worst tablet ive ever owned, and ive owned some pretty crapty ones, it was running retardedly slow for a long time and i now its not the fastest tablet but mine was moving at a snails pace so i tried rooting and over clocking it didnt work, so i decided to start from the very bottom after resting and erasing everything it started giving me more issues like the android keyboard stopped working search stopped working just this whole thing fell to crap avoid buying this piece of crap

michael musnick: I wonder if you know. If I download about 200 jpeg photos can I find them by typing in the picture name on a virtual keyboard? Thanks
Jessica Galimore: I have a Trio Stealth Pro Tablet. It is a wonderful tablet, considering it doesn't have Google Play. The only problems I have found with this tablet is it is slightly slow when I am searching on the internet and I cant get snapchat. Could anybody help me get snapchat? Thank you!
dollpatch: How do I voice record on the Trio and then get it into my computer in order to print a document of what I just said? Thanks.
17chollie: what do I do about the screen not responding all the time. is there a way to calibrate the screen?
Monique Johnson: Is there a way to callibrate the touchscreen? the leftside of my touchscreen is not working, any advice?
Linda Clements: I just bought 8 of these for my grandchildren. One arrived shattered and one is finiky. doesnt want to do what you touch it to do. BUT one problem I have with ALL of them is there is NO place to download apps. No app store. No playstore. No itunes. No Google apps. Nothing nowhere. AND my home screens do NOT have those icons across the bottom to start. I have to open the apps and choose one of those (minimal apps). How do I download apps in the Trio Stealth Pro 9.7. I have to wrap them for Christmas soon. HELP !!!
dollpatch: What sold me on this tablet is that when it was demonstrated, it showed that you could "record" into it and have it actually "type" your words. The instruction booklet paints HUGE strokes, so I'm not getting this capability. First, how can I use this feature and can I then USB it to my computer and have it print out? Does this technology even exist ---- where you can talk into a device and have it store your words and then be able to print them out later as a document from your computer? I NEED this technology SO badly. I am not very tech savvy to say the least - just a "Z to A" person and know what I need bottom line. Thanks.
Steven Francis: $149? Thats over priced, my friend got hers for only $80 but it sucks it doesnt have Google Play, I dont consider any Android device an Android device without the Play Store
David Gutierrez: Does it have an SD card slot
kellie bennitt: how do you install google play store
jordanmania543: Same here i might do an unboxing soon :)
The review guy: The tablet itself does have the ability to Skype. That being said I have not had a need to use that feature. But I have seen other comments that it does not Skype well. It does Skype correctly with picture and sound but does not send to other end well or keep the connection thru the router. To me this is more of a Bandwidth issue of your internet speed then the tablet itself having issues. Its one thing to steam netflix etc etc. and another to stream Live video..
Mina_Shaniyah: I use 1mobile market for my apps
Jesus Laureano: Hay just got mine today how do i get apps cause i can't find the app store
90sKidChannel: I Have Google Play On mine
The review guy: welp..... theirs not I can tell you but that sounds like the power chip is DEAD.. not much help their... you would have to take it somewhere to get fixxed. Wjem yo charge it does the green light come on? do you get any display?? cuz if not.. well BROKE is Broke. no way around that.
The review guy: La primera vez, yo lo deje casi 6 hours hasta que se cargo suficiente solo depende como esta la bateria.
Reba Carter: Ok Thank you so very much for helping me. Reba

Casting the All-Female 'Glengarry Glen Ross'
Jason Reitman's looking to put a twist on the clubhouse classic
If you don't remember the classic early 90s flick Glengarry Glen Ross then you probably didn't see it.
Everyone who saw it remembers its cruel and weary characters and exacting dialogue–born from the mind of the Pulitzer-Prize winner and Nextbook author David Mamet–and for scenes like this ridiculous one with Alec Baldwin, which is neither safe for work or home.
It's more than just a guys' movie, its celluloid testosterone, which is why Jason Reitman is hosting a reading of it using an all-female cast. Wait, what?
Reitman says the idea came from film critic Elvis Mitchell, who helps orchestrate the monthly events with Film Independent. Every performance re-imagines the script with a new actor in each role, but after the success of their Reservoir Dogs last year they wanted to have another live-read where the entire cast shared a trait that was new to the story.
"We toyed with the idea of doing a gender swap on a film like Top Gun, but instead decided on a full reverse from men to women," Reitman says. "Glengarry was Elvis's idea. It's the perfect candidate as there is no reason this script needs to be read by men outside of our own social stereotypes."
Here's who they have so far:
Robin Wright – hotshot sales agent Ricky Roma, originated by Al Pacino
Catherine O'Hara — desperate Shelley Levene, originated by Jack Lemmon
Maria Bello — Dave Moss, the tough-talking underperformer played by Ed Harris
Allison Janney — aging, weak-willed George Aaronow, originated by Alan Arkin
Mae Whitman — office manager John Williamson, played by Kevin Spacey
The only role not filled yet is that of Alec Baldwin's character Blake. Meryl Streep seems like far too obvious a choice, so if I had to pick and I wanted to pick a Jewish actress, I'd have think Ellen Barkin might do the trick.
Who would be your pick?

Jon Stewart Ruins Newt Gingrich's "Moon Base" Dreams
"A moon base? Your solution to being accused of grandiosity is 'Give me eight years and I'll have a fucking moon base.'" Just hours after enduring a debate night beating from Mitt Romney over his idea for a permanent colony on the moon, Newt Gingrich received a similar smackdown from Jon Stewart on Thursday night's "Daily Show."

The family of Jennifer Lobato, the prisoner who died in the Jeffco jail while awaiting medical attention, will wait for the completion of an investigation before deciding whether to take legal action.
David Lane, the lawyer representing the Lobato family, said the family has been in contact with the Sheriff's Office about the investigation and will wait until a coroner's report is complete before deciding on their next step.
A fire in an apartment complex in Littleton on Friday afternoon left several people homeless.
The blaze broke out about noon at Verona Apartment Homes, 29831 W. Centennial Drive, just south of West Belleview Avenue and South Federal Boulevard.
On Feb. 18, the Colorado Senate presented the House of Representatives with a take-it-or-kill-it ultimatum on a spending bill for the Department of Public Safety. The disagreement centered on whether more funds should be made available to process criminal background checks for gun permits. At that point, it looked like developing a state budget was going to be a very difficult task.
Jimmie and Karen Luckey are no strangers to tough times.
The South Jeffco couple, who have two kids, both missed work last year because of health issues, with Jimmie undergoing back surgery and Karen dealing with kidney problems.
But the most difficult trial was yet to come: Jimmie was diagnosed in December with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
For many young Cinderellas dreaming of prom, few things will be more central to their memories of that night than a perfect dress.
For the third year, the Jeffco Public Library is helping to make memories with its prom dress swap. For a donation of eight cans of food — destined for the Jeffco Action Center — a young woman can choose a dress, shoes and accessories for prom night.
The Littleton Museum offered an udderly enjoyable event Saturday at Bovines Are Divine.
The bountiful benefits of the bovine were on the hoof at the museum's two working farmhouses. Museum re-enactors showed visitors how cheese was made, cream separated and butter churned 125 years ago.
The farmhouses' oxen team of Ford and Fitz were on hand, showing guests how the heavy lifting got done before the advent of mechanical tractors.
The recent move by Jeffco Public Schools and the teachers union to take portions of contract negotiations behind closed doors falls into a murky area of Colorado's Open Meetings Law.
The district and the Jefferson County Education Association opened negotiations last month, and both sides agreed early on to break into small study groups and examine several priority topics. The two sides announced last week that meetings of the small groups would not be open to the public.
A developer has proposed a commercial center with a 7-Eleven on the northeast corner of South Wadsworth Boulevard and West Coal Mine Avenue, on land offered for sale by the Foothills Park and Rec District.
Cornerstone Capital Investment's plans for the 4.65-acre property are working their way through Jefferson County's site development process.
A proposal is on the table for the April 16 meeting of the Colorado High School Activities Association Legislative Council to expand classifications in high school football, adding 6A in time for the 2016 season.
The proposal would alter enrollment numbers across the board from 6-man on up, adding an eighth — 6A — classification.
Hotel rooms are blocked off. Players travel with parents via vehicle, though some will stay with family in the area to save on money, but they all will be supervised. And some may even squeeze in a junior college visit or two while they're there.
It's spring break baseball in Arizona for the Columbine Rebels. It's the way Chuck Gillman's club has gone about it for more than a decade. Oh, and they'll pay $275 each for tournament fees, transportation and coaches expense to play a week's worth of games.

Hey everyone, I'm new to all of this. I'm 24 and have never regularly cycled. I used to menstruate 1-2 per year. I became pregnant in 2005 and was on birth control after my Daughter until this June. I have not had a cycle since.
I went to the doctor and explained. She decided to give me MEDROXYPR AC 10MG "The Progestin Challenge." She said to take it everyday for 10 days and we would expect to see spotting or any start of bleeding between days 2-7. She said we would then start tracking ovulation in order to conceive (since we are trying for #2 which started all of this..) Then she said, very gravely, "If you do NOT see anything, you need to call me and we need to schedule an appointment as soon as you can."
I've not seen anything and I'm worried about what she meant ! First of all, I'm not even sure what this "Challenge" is supposed to prove. Is this determining whether or not I ovulate? Whether or not I produce estrogen ? And what happens if I don't? .. I'm so confused. If any of you have doen this challenge, can you please clue me in ? The research I've done on the internet is just confusing me more and, frankly, is scaring me ! There's talk of cancers, MRIs, fertility issues, etc.
I just need some clarity !

Physical constraints on the establishment of intracellular spatial gradients in bacteria
- Carolina Tropini,
- Naveed Rabbani,
- Kerwyn Casey Huang
- … show all 3 hide
Bacteria dynamically regulate their intricate intracellular organization involving proteins that facilitate cell division, motility, and numerous other processes. Consistent with this sophisticated organization, bacteria are able to create asymmetries and spatial gradients of proteins by localizing signaling pathway components. We use mathematical modeling to investigate the biochemical and physical constraints on the generation of intracellular gradients by the asymmetric localization of a source and a sink.
We present a systematic computational analysis of the effects of other regulatory mechanisms, such as synthesis, degradation, saturation, and cell growth. We also demonstrate that gradients can be established in a variety of bacterial morphologies such as rods, crescents, spheres, branched and constricted cells.
Taken together, these results suggest that gradients are a robust and potentially common mechanism for providing intracellular spatial cues.

News Roundup: April 7
Top Story
Talk show guru Oprah Winfrey has decided to cut back on her book club recommendations, which have been known to send a book straight to the Top 10 best-sellers list, because she is finding it more difficult to find books she can rave about. "It has become harder and harder to find books on a monthly basis that I feel absolutely compelled to share," Winfrey said in a statement on her show Friday. "I will continue featuring books on The Oprah Winfrey Show when I feel they merit my heartfelt recommendation."
Winfrey has also decided to cut back on traveling because she says she doesn't feel safe, recently postponing a trip to South Africa to promote the launch of her magazine, O. "My instinct says things aren't right in parts of the world. All parts–and to get from my part to your part, I'd have to travel over other parts," Winfrey told a South Africa newspaper Sunday Times.
Is it him or isn't it? Two-time Grammy winner R. Kelly is having to answer questions about allegations that he appeared in a sexually explicit videotape with a minor that is being sold illegally across the country and on the Internet. The R&B artist denies all claims but Chicago police are investigating. Meanwhile, some radio stations in the Chicago area are boycotting the singer's music.
Tony-winning actress Jane Alexander and her husband, director/producer Edwin Sherin, are taking up teaching positions at Florida State University in the fall as part of its Eppes Professor program, which invites high-profile professionals to join the academia.
Tube News
John Ashcroft may be the U.S. attorney general, but his first love is music. To prove it, he is scheduled to make an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, during which he may sing a few songs for the audience. Letterman has been poking fun at the attorney general recently, showing clips of Ashcroft singing his own song, "Let the Eagles Soar," at a theological seminar in North Carolina. The Late Show segment is being taped Tuesday, AP reports.
Following on the heels of the successful Carol Burnett Show reunion special which aired last year, TV nostalgia will reign again when CBS airs a Mary Tyler Moore Show retrospective May 13 during the all-important "sweeps" month. The special will star members of the old cast, including Moore, Ed Asner, Valerie Harper, Gavin MacLeod and Betty White.
Actor/singer Harry Belafonte will receive the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's lifetime achievement award. Rev. Wendell Anthony, president of the Detroit chapter, told AP, "Mr. Belafonte has been a great role model, possessing not only professional gifts and talents, but he also reflects the gift of social sacrifice and political consciousness that has helped African Americans in their struggle."
Roy Huggins, writer/producer of TV classics such as Maverick and The Fugitive, died Wednesday in Santa Monica, Calif., of natural causes. He was 87. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Adele Mara, and their three sons, Thomas, John and James.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Tablet Plus
Blakes Hotel, London
33 Roland Gardens, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Kensington
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Possibly the most theatrical and over-the-top hotel in London or anywhere else, Blakes nevertheless predates by two decades the current mania for individualist boutique hotels, and frankly outpaces them all, at least in terms of sheer eccentricity. It's hard to imagine how shocking this place must have been when its doors opened in the late seventies, densely decorated as it is in an intense East-meets-East style, stuffed to the rafters with Chinese, Japanese and Indian antiques as well as the occasional Egyptian or Venetian curio.
Somehow the design fever that has overtaken the hotel scene has failed to produce anything that can top Anouska Hempel's eye for a maximally decorated interior, and in a world where blank walls and Scandinavian modernist furnishings represent the height of fashion, Blakes delivers the antidote to minimalism. Rooms are individually themed, whether British Raj or black-lacquered Oriental, and nothing is half-baked—in fact if you're susceptible to sensory overload we can recommend something in white, like the Egyptian-themed Corfu Suite.
Antique, of course, doesn't have to mean uncomfortable—beds here are among the most sumptuous we've seen, many with canopies, and the marble baths are spacious and functional. Blakes restaurant is very much in demand, serving (no surprise) a fusion of Thai and Mediterranean cuisines; you can fight it out downstairs for a table for dinner, or just order in room service, and dine in your own private fantasyland. Either way, it's guaranteed to be a unique experience—just make sure you're ready for the unconventional. London has no shortage of more traditional hotels, and even Blakes itself has a quieter, more modest sister: the modern-Zen Hempel, just north of Hyde Park, may be the best way to ease yourself into the Anouska experience.

What I liked:
Makes on feel like they are living in a Chelsea residence not a high street hotel. The room was so charming and comfortable although it was a bit cozy it did not take away from the splendor of the stay. There was very satisfactory support for a business stay great wireless and the staff was always on hand at all hours of day and night to assist me with some business need for printing or faxing. Every evening when I returned to the hotel it was very relaxing - almost like coming homeat the end of a day. Location afforded access to great restaurants in Chelsea which made entertaining simple. Overall, I would return to Blake's on my next stay in London.
What the hotel could do better:
I cannot say I really disliked much about the hotel The gym was a bit tight but the staff were accomodating to open the gym before normal hours to accomodate my request for workout. Hailing a taxi is not easy in Chelsea, but porter suggested to call ahead to the deswk and one was always there when needed.

What I liked:
Atmosphere and public areas - and the staff were very good
What the hotel could do better:
I used to stay here regularly up until 1997. It appears there has been no investment at all since then! I had to change rooms because the toilet did not flush and the fridge was broken in the first room. The bathrooms in both rooms are in awful state of disrepair with cracked and broken tiles and poor lighting. What a disappointment!

What I liked:
Its almost an institution and I wanted to try it out and see. Like the place but was disappointed I have to say. The staff were good and the place is quite funky. Good location
What the hotel could do better:
Mainly the fact that the wireless doesn't seem to work properly throughout the hotel. I had to move rooms to one where it was supposed to be stronger but it kept fading in and out.
Also toilet didn't flush properly and not much pressure in the showers. Overall a disappointing stay but maybe my expectations were too high!

'Oceana': What I'm reading now
Photo courtesy of Amazon.com
I love the beach. The whole ocean, really — but especially the more gentle seas, like the Caribbean. It's my happy place. And I've often said I feel as though I might have been a ship captain in a past life, although I'm not even a sailor in this one. As y'all know, I spend most of this life walking on and talking about the land, soil, farms, gardens and how we can protect the earth.
And the crime of our ignorant and affluent Western culture is that we will be the last people in the world to see it. The "illusion of abundance" we see in our supermarkets every time we shop is abundance stolen from the poor people of the world, and it has destroyed the livelihoods of small fisherman and their families. So it is no surprise that they immigrate to our countries, in search of our entitled affluence.

Video game retailers continue to remain the best at enforcing age ratings, according to a new study from the Federal Trade Commission.
Only 13% of shoppers under the age of 17 were able to buy a video game carrying a rating of M for Mature, finds the survey. By comparison, 24% of minors were able to buy a ticket to an R-rated film, 30% bought an R-rated DVD and 47% bought a CD with an explicit lyrics warning label.
"We applaud video game retailers for once again demonstrating our industry's ongoing commitment to parents," says Patricia Vance, president of the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, in a statement. "Enforcement of video game sales policies continues to be substantially higher than that for any other entertainment industry."
The FTC sent several 13- to 16-year-olds to stores in the U.S. to purchase mature content without parents present. The study was conducted between April and June of last year.
Six stores were examined for the video game portion of the FTC survey: Best Buy, GameStop, Kmart, Target, Toys 'R' Us and Walmart. Target was the most compliant during the survey, denying M-rated game purchases by underage shoppers 100% of the time. Walmart was the worst, allowing 25% of minors to make a purchase.
While video game retailers held steady, others achieved significant improvements in enforcing ratings.
"Our underage shopper survey shows continued progress in reducing sales," said Charles Harwood, Acting Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, in a statement. "But retailers can still strengthen their commitment to limit children's access to products that are rated or labeled as potentially inappropriate for them."

Our story begins in the late 1880s. There is no Red Dead Revolver, just Red, a young kid living with his family on the western frontier. His family strikes gold—strikes it rich in fact—but it is not long before news of their good fortune reaches the ears of General Diego, a rogue Mexican general, who sends his bandits on a mission to massacre Red's family and steal their gold.
Red's family is slaughtered before his eyes, his mother burned, his father shot down. Red has only revenge on his mind. He quickly picks up his dad's gun – which fell into the fire – burning his hand and leaving an imprint as a permanent scar and reminder of what happened. But he gets off a single shot, hitting one of the bandits in the arm as they ride off.
Now, many years later as a man, Red's prepares to act on his lifelong thirst for revenge…

Turkish Equity Movers: Koza, Mango, Otokar, Turk Telekom Move
July 13 (Bloomberg) -- Turkey's benchmark ISE National 100 Index rose for the first day in four, gaining 571.27, or 0.9 percent, to 63,261.06 at the 5:30 p.m. close in Istanbul.
The following stocks were active. Symbols are in parentheses.
Koza Altin Isletmeleri AS (KOZAL TI), a gold miner, added 85 kurus, or 3.8 percent, to 23.05 liras, its biggest gain since April. Gold climbed to a record in London and New York today as concern about Europe's debt crisis spurred demand for the metal as a protection of wealth.
Mango Gida Sanayi & Ticaret AS (MANGO TI), a producer of fruits and vegetables, surged 33 kurus, or 18 percent, to 2.14 liras, a record jump. Mango signed a contract to sell its products to Russia's food retailer Magnit OJSC that will be valid until Dec. 15, 2015, it said in a statement to the Istanbul Stock Exchange today.
Otokar Otomotiv & Savunma Sanayi AS (OTKAR TI), a producer of minibuses and military trucks, rose 60 kurus, or 1.6 percent, to 38.3 liras after getting an export order worth $54.1 million for four-wheel-drive armored vehicles, spare parts and training, according to a company statement to the exchange today.
Turk Telekomunikasyon AS (TTKOM TI), the landline phone company, dropped 20 kurus, or 2.4 percent, to 8.22 liras. The company may miss second-quarter profit estimates on a weaker lira and its shares are "overpriced," Is Investment said in a research report today.

As photographers, we need our gear. Without it, we're just people with highly visual imaginations and restless index fingers. However, the conundrum of all photographers is acquiring the right combination of equipment without blowing their budgets. In reality, there's no "right" or "standard" selection of gear—everyone's creative vision and needs are different. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, putting together a cost-effective kit that still offers you the freedom and flexibility to exercise your photography as you see fit, can be a real challenge.
To help you navigate this perpetual dance, let's see how I built my camera bag over the years. Please note that these ideas do not represent the opinions and needs of the other 2,459,276,483 photographers out there, who will probably disagree with me.

No. 24 Aztecs
After USD beat Tulane a year ago at Jenny Craig Pavilion to end a two-year series between the schools, Toreros coach Bill Grier walked through the handshake line with the Green Wave players and got to Josh Davis, a 6-foot-9 junior forward who had crushed them on the glass. And thought:
"Well, that's the last I see of him. Thank goodness I don't have to see him any more."
Uh, maybe not.
Davis returned to haunt the Toreros, this time in a black San Diego State uniform. Just as he had in his two previous games against USD, Davis had another monster night on the boards as No. 24 SDSU held off a pesky Toreros team 65-64 before the first sellout at Jenny Craig Pavilion in five seasons and 62 games.
Davis had 14 point and 15 rebounds against USD two years ago. He had 19 and eight last year.
This year: 10 and 15.
He also had the steal that turned the game, intercepting a pass in SDSU's full-court press that Xavier Thames ultimately lobbed to Dwayne Polee for an emphatic dunk and a 56-47 lead with 6:55 to go.
And a minute later, his offensive rebound in a tangle of white jerseys drew the fourth foul on Jito Kok, USD's only big athletic big man. That forced USD to put Dennis Kramer on him, and Davis blew past him for a layup on SDSU's next possession.
The SDSU coaches have been waiting for this, for the breakout game from their prized fifth-year transfer, explaining that he needed time to adjust to the new team and new coast and new opponents. All it took, apparently, was a bit of familiarity.
And they needed it — all of it. Second-leading scorer JJ O'Brien went 0 of 10 with his heavily wrapped right hand, and the Aztecs shot a season-low 36.2 percent from the field.
And there was the matter of USD, which came roaring back in the closing minutes behind a pair of threes by Johnny Dee (21 points) and missed free throws by the Aztecs (6-1). The Toreros (7-3) closed to 61-60, then got the ball back with 40 seconds to go.
Grier called timeout, but whatever he drew up didn't work against the long, athletic Aztecs defense and ended up as a tied-up ball in the corner. Possession arrow: SDSU.
Twice Thames (17 points, four assists) was fouled, and both times he made both free throws to push the lead to three. And both times, Fisher called timeout and instructed his team to foul intentionally instead risking another Dee 3.
But on the next SDSU inbounds, Thames was tied up in the corner while USD players tried to foul him. Official Mike Greenstein instead whistled for a jump ball with 3.2 seconds left. Possession arrow: USD.
Out of timeouts, the Toreros had to run a play on the fly. Duda Sanadze got a good look from 25 feet from the right sideline, but it hit the front rim and the Aztecs had escaped — again — from JCP with a victory while Sanadze collapsed to the court in dejection.

Great flotation with a few adjustments necessary to the multiple internal floatation compartments. Each section has it's own blow-up flotation removable "balloon" with zippers to encase it.. The amount of air in each is adjustable to fit personal choice. WE like the neck and back less rigid and more comfy. Once we made the reduction in air, all is well.
Well built and sturdy.

Ignore this system!Submitted by PeacefulAnarchism on Tue, 10/01/2013 - 20:30
After being involved in politics for 3+ years, registering as a Florida delegate and attending the RNC in Tampa, I can say I'm absolutely convinced there is no political solution to what ails the people living under the empirical American regime. The system is corrupt to the core and if voting made any type of difference it would be illegal. Both parties are bought bribed and paid for and the system itself is designed to elevate only the most ruthless immoral lying thieving bastards to the echelons of power.
If we are to affect any type of change it is through the ways in which people like MLK jr and Mahatma Gandhi advocated. Peaceful non-compliance and civil disobedience. By participating in the current system you are by De facto legitimizing it and all the immoral corrupt ways in which it operates.
Work outside the system as much as possible and focus on the people and life that brings you the most fulfillment and joy. Do not compromise the essence of your human existence by giving in to the hatred and vile wickedness that is spewed by those who rule over us. Peaceful cooperation, tolerance and understanding are those ways in which if we can change our minds we effectively can change the world.

Welcome Aboard
Government is force and violence. The only moral society is a completely voluntary one. Politics legitimizes the corrupt system. Welcome to the growing legion of truth seekers who have come to this conclusion. Live your life the way you want to see the world work. Opt out of as many things as you can that involve the use of force, and substitute them with voluntary acts. "If one takes care of the means, the end will take care of itself." -Ghandi
Agreed... BUT...
I completely agree that the end of this system will only happen when a large group of people ignore the system and refuse to comply. I can only see 2 ways that this could happen in theory, but I can only see 1 way that this can happen in practice.
In THEORY, we could end the system in a short amount of time if a large enough group of Americans refused to pay their taxes. The old quote is true that says "Let them march all they want, so long as they continue to pay their taxes."
In PRACTICE, the system will probably only come crashing down when other nations start trading energy for their own currencies, and NOT dollars (showing that they no longer give their faith and credit to the American economic system). And they will do this the more and more the US relies on Quantitative Easing. So, this solution probably isn't too far away.
Until you correct the thought virus of "your taxes" you aren't
going to convince anyone to stop paying them.
"You're taxes" are those that have been actually lawfully levied upon you and that you are required to pay.
What most people consider "their taxes" are not THEIRS at all.
This is the crux of the problem.
Understand it or be doomed to serfdom.
All taxes are theft
Stop using the word taxes, for starters... it is just theft plain and simple.
Then stop using the word law, as a law is just a threat of force... just say threat of force.
Yes agreed. But since I was dealing with someone who used the
phrase "your taxes" I figured I should opt for baby steps.
But since you put it out there, sure, all taxation is theft, and all law is force.
I have no disagreements there.
Didn't we just prevent a war?
...or at least postpone a war with Syria? Don't believe for a minute this community didn't have something to do with that. Oh sure, the bombs may still fall on Syria in the future. But in the meantime we definitely saved some lives. That matters.
So don't quit now.
No-one but Paul!
You hit the nail on the head......
Revelations 18:3-5
For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power[c] of her luxury." Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
"Come out of her, my people, so that you do not take part in her sins,
and so that you do not share in her plagues; for her sins are heaped high as heaven..
For the people who don't know what the above is referring to, here is the answer:
1. International Law - based on Roman Canon Law
2. International Commerce Laws
3. Political Systems of all nations
4. World Economic System - has everyone working hard for false monopoly money, instead of hard money that can't be spit out of the printing presses.
PeacefulAnarchism, I applaud you for the truth you have just laid out to everyone. There are fools that spend all their lives in politics and never understand that the system is rigged. Most don't say anything because they're in it for the money. If anyone knows what JUSTICE, MERCY, TRUTH and LOVE are, you would know that none of the governments around the world have a shred within their systems.
May Jesus bless you my friend,
but civil disobedience from
but civil disobedience from the left worked because there was a sympathetic faction for their actions and objectives on the side of the politically stronger power. western liberalism supported the anti colonialist nationalism of ghandi, and the civil rights movement.
where is a comparable sympathetic faction for civil disobedience from the right?
i'm sure people will complain about using right and left, but the civil disobedience of waco resulted in mass murder and no tears were shed.
i'm not saying there are better alternatives than non violent civil disobedience, but to assume it will work on the basis of examples like ghandi or MLK who had a huge cheering section in the western establishment is foolish.
in fact the ideological entity which supported the two mentioned political figures is the same faction that views people like us as evil incarnate to be rooted out by any means... obstacles to progress.
examine your premises.
You can do both.
You can still work the system and prepare for no system at the same time.
The founding fathers did it. You can too.
Quitting = handing your own a$$ to the bad guys.
You can do both
But let's not turn this into a cult.
Quitting = handing your own a$$ to the bad guys.
That is just propaganda.

Please explain how you cross the finish line if you quit a race.
Quitting a race does not get you across the finish line.
Besides, what if the Continentals did what you suggest? You'd have a British accent and be standing in front of a star court right now.
So, I don't by that "just do whatever man..." BS.
If you get in a race, then win it.
If you're going to quit, why did you start in the first place except to waste everyone else's time.
You can not win a race by quitting that race. That's the simple fact.

our mission here is.....over and out.
I agree
plus, what are we going to do if we take the system over??? get rid of it? don't need to take it over for that, just ignore it.
Yes, but you can get a microphone and some ears.
Even if changing the system is not possible, all you need to do is change people's minds. "Political theater" is one of many ways to get some ears, and hopefully hearts and minds. I think that's what Ron Paul has been doing all these years. Maybe Rand too.

I'm trying to communicate with differential drive mobile robot via matlab functions and .mex files. I can succesfully move the robot with command:
ref = serial('COM1');
set(ref,'BaudRate', 9600);
out = fscanf(ref)
However, the function that I made which includes
fprintf does not work:
function r = Move(ref,left,right)
out = fscanf(ref)
I'am aware that the problem is different string used in command
fprintf (i.e. 'C,1000,1000' is not equal to 'C,left,right'), but I can't resolve this problem. Sorry if this is too trivial.
The ANSWER is (see comments below):
function r = Move(ref,left,right)

NEW YORK ( www.TheGoldAndOilGuy.com) -- What if you just got a lump of dirty old coal in your stocking for the holiday, how would you feel? The only individuals who would appreciate a dirty gift like that would be those forward-looking investors who see major opportunities before they become the next big movers and headline news.
Knowing how to spot Stage 1 patterns is one of the most important bits of information you need to know as an investor. This one pattern is how I found Research in Motion (RIMM), which is now up 100% in the past 30 days, Alpha Natural Resources (ANR), up 30% in two weeks, First Solar (FSLR) up 20% in 20 days, the list goes on. My main focus is on ETFs, because of the lower risk they provide, while being very powerful when applied to individual stocks.
Coal and coal stocks have been out of favor for almost two years now. But these unwanted and hated shares may soon be owned by the masses, or at least by traders and investors. A few weeks ago, I talked about the four stages all investments go through and which patters you must be able to spot in order to make huge money investing while having very limited downside risk. You can read about that
In summary, trade with the big board and only focusing on buying stocks, ETFs, etc., as they are coming out of a Stage 1 Accumulation Basing Pattern. This puts the odds greatly in your favor for not only winning the majority of your trades but generating above-average returns.The Big Board: NYSE Weekly Major Stock Market Trend: The New York Stock Exchange is the big board. This chart formed a reversal candle last week, which points to lower prices. It's likely we see a one- or two-week dip before buyers step back in. Until then, individual stocks should pause or form mini bull flags until the sellers are finished and buyers step back into risk on assets (equities).

Comment: Re:What are they complaining about? (Score 1) 341
It's interesting that you can get so much more coverage for so little cost. Your laws regarding cost must be very stringent. I certainly wouldn't mind paying what you're paying for the coverage you've got. I was paying $600 per six-month term ($1200 annually) for the paltry $10,000 property liability and $10,000 personal injury liability required by law. What always bugged me was paying so much for so little, and I know the insurance company jacked the rates up because they know that you have to be insured to drive lawfully, and have to pay whatever they tell you.

Yuko went to a baby shower recently! She spent it with two delightful girls, drawing them dragons and ... more dragons. And puppies.
We're getting more Catmera charms in very soon! So that is pretty neat.
Yuko's done a whole slew of Game of Thrones art over on her Tumblr - take a look if you're all bananas for the series. I'm almost done with the fourth book, and then I'll probably read Hunger Games.
It's true! I like dogs (especially wolfy dogs), but I just don't know as much about dog species as I do cookie types. My shame, my shame. I can tell you, my favorite cookie place in NYC is probably Insomnia Cookies by NYU. They have a heat-fridge that keeps the cookies warm, so it's like they came out of the oven every time.
The girl on the far left in the first panel is Katie! Yuko mentored her for a senior project during her last semester in FIT's Illustration program.
You'll remember the shirt we designed for Adam Warrock a while back - I just wanted to let you know that quantities are running low, and he may not reprint them - so get 'em while you can!
I'm keeping this short and sweet because I have a big ol' deadline Wednesday. Thursday marks the return of autiobio comics! See you then!
Cecilia looks pretty cute I think - third panel is definitely my favorite, nice work Yuko! That's the end of the arc, hope you enjoyed it. Hopefully we'll get to do a new one soon ... We've got some Maidens stuff on the shelf that will probably be the next color installment, whenever we have time for that. That arc will be about 10 pages - our longest yet!
Last page goes up Thursday! And for those curious, Yuko's been posting some high res shots of selected panels on her Tumblr.
Mass Effect 3 news came out at E3! Pretty exciting. Release date is March of 2012, oof. We're all aflutter in anticipation over here.
Keeping it short again, lots of work. See you Thursday!
It's been fun to write an arc with a bare minimum of dialogue. I'd planned to make a longer post about Yuko's process on these pages - no inks, this is all pencil! - but man, it's been a long day and this page turned out to be a little more complex than we thought. I really like that pull-out of the kitchen, though.
More animals! Cecilia's got all kinds of problems today.
CMYCat and Hokusai shirts are back in stock! Take a look below:
The first part of a 5-part Girl with the Skeleton Hand story - you can read the previous story here, and here's a little cameo at the end of Delilah and the Basilisk. Hope you enjoy it!
I've been saying we'd put the new t-shirts up this week, but unfortunately our work ran away with us and we just don't have it prepped. I hate to do this, but they'll be up on Tuesday come hell or high water. Sorry about that!
You guyssss we were at Big Apple Comic Con this past weekend which is largely a superhero show, and so we got to talking about superhero comics. The result was 3 pages of Batmen in their off-hours, when they're just kicking back and taking a break from being the Batmen we all know and love.
We also sat next to Arthur Suydam, who is the artist on comics like Marvel Zombies, Army of Darkness and more. We only got to talk to him briefly, but he was really friendly and it was a pleasure speaking to him.
The dog is a Weimaraner, and Lela's the only one who can say it. According to Wikipedia, the color of its fur also led to the nickname, "The Grey Ghost", which I'm down with. Because it's easier to say than Murmur ner mur.

Arizona Cardinals
Ken Whisenhunt's statement upon being relieved of duties
Coaching the Cardinals has been an incredible and rewarding experience and I will always be grateful to Mr. Bidwill, Michael and Rod for giving me that opportunity back in 2007.
I'm very proud of what we as a team and as an organization achieved during that time. Collectively we accomplished some very special and unprecedented things. That's a testament to the dedication, hard work and talent of so many coaches, players and people throughout the organization.
But we all understand this business and when you don't win enough games changes are made. That doesn't mean it's easy but you definitely don't have to look far to find people that have it much worse.
I want to especially thank Cardinals fans who treated my family and me so well and made our time in Arizona so special.
While this chapter ends for us, we are hopeful that the ones ahead of us will be as enriching as this one has been.

Reduced Fares Trumpet Runway Reopening
By Randy Griffith, Tribune-Democrat, Johnstown, Pa.
Jun. 17–Today's resumption of passenger flights at Johnstown marks the introduction of some special fares on United Express flights to Dulles International Airport in Washington.
"Fares have been established to welcome people back to the convenience of flying out of Johnstown," said Joe Williams, spokesman for Pinnacle Airlines Corp. and Colgan Air.
Pavement reconstruction at the intersection of John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport's only two runways closed the airport to all larger aircraft on May 5. The secondary runway opened Sunday, and commercial flights begin today. The main runway will reopen within a week.
United Airlines set introductory fares for about 30 popular destinations, but Williams wasn't able to supply a list of the cities.
"I should know that, but I haven't gotten any confirmation," he said from Pinnacle's Memphis, Tenn., headquarters.
Airport leaders stressed that all Johnstown fares have become more competitive through United's hub at Dulles. Last week, Colgan and Pinnacle received a new two-year contract under the federal Essential Air Service program.
"The message is: We are reopened, and we have a carrier committed for the next two years," said Raymond Porsch, chairman of the Johnstown Cambria County Airport Authority.
Free parking and fast screening at the Richland township airport illustrate more benefits of flying locally. Adding the cost of driving and parking at a major airport can make Johnstown a bargain, Porsch said.
Spot checking of several domestic and international destinations showed it cost an average of 12 percent more to fly from Johnstown through Dulles than from Dulles alone. Those departing Thursday for a week in Orlando, or on July 24 for a week in Chicago, would actually pay less from Johnstown than the lowest fare direct from Dulles.
Add the cost of driving 240 miles round-trip and seven days' parking at Dulles — $190 — and flying from Johnstown still averages 20 percent less than Dulles.
