Lawmaker: Allow trained Arizona school staff to store guns on campuses
PHOENIX -- Giving trained schoolteachers and staff access to firearms in storage lockers is a way to secure campuses when it isn't possible to provide resource officers, a state lawmaker contends.
"The danger in our schools is an issue that isn't going to go away unless we do something about it," said Rep. David Stevens, R-Sierra Vista. "Arming our teachers is the best option at this point."
Stevens authored HB 2412, which would allow a person to possess a deadly weapon on school grounds if he or she has completed training outlined in the bill and has been designated to do so by a school district or charter school governing board.
Dubbed the School Safety Designee Program, it would be optional for public or private schools.
It's currently against state law to have a firearm on a school campus unless the person is a law enforcement officer or has special permission.
The bill won an endorsement Feb. 26 from the House Appropriations Committee, with all three Democrats present voting against it. It was awaiting action on the House floor.
Stevens noted that the National Rifle Association proposed the idea in response to tragedies such as those at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., as a less-expensive alternative to putting resource officers in every school. He said a similar bill he introduced last year failed because it wouldn't have provided special training.
Attorney General Tom Horne, who proposed the change in Arizona, called the program a "golden mean" between allowing teachers to carry firearms and hiring resource officers for all schools.
"At least the students and staff won't be sitting ducks if a maniac comes into the school," he said.
Stevens noted that the Sierra Vista Unified School District has three resource officers for six elementary schools as well as its middle school and high school campuses. One officer is at Buena High School every day, while the others travel among schools as needed.
"If something bad happened, how long would it take for the officer to get there?" Stevens said. "If a teacher is trained with a firearm, they will be quicker to respond."
Candidates would receive training on how to clean, handle and store firearms, would take courses in marksmanship, judgmental shooting and other subjects and would be conditioned on how to use deadly force. They would have to repeat the training every year.
The Attorney General's Office would establish the standards for candidates and oversee certification.
The firearms would have to be stored in secure lockers and could only be removed from school grounds for training, cleaning and maintenance.
Both the Arizona School Board Association and the Arizona Education Association, the state's largest teachers union, registered as opposed to the bill. While neither organization explained its position to the committee, Horne said the Arizona School Boards Association indicated that it might support a bill applying only to rural schools a certain distance from the nearest police station.
Kent Scribner, superintendent of the Phoenix Union High School District, said in an interview that he opposes introducing more guns on campus.
"Trained and sworn officers should be the only ones ensuring our security," said Scribner, who oversees more 27,000 students on 16 campuses.
The district recently held a community forum on safety after shots were fired outside Cesar Chavez High School during an evening basketball game. No one was hurt or arrested.
Elgin Nelson, whose son attends Betty H. Fairfax High School, was at the forum. He said the last thing his neighborhood or the state needs is more access to guns.
"They allow this Wild, Wild West," Nelson said. "It's particularly irresponsible on the part of our state Legislature."
Rep. Andrew Sherwood, D-Tempe, who voted against the bill, said his office was inundated with calls from concerned community members.
"I am frustrated because I think we can do better," Sherwood said. "There is no proof guns in schools make it safer. We were elected to create jobs, but instead we are talking about guns again."
Reps. Stefanie Mach, D-Tucson, and Lela Alston, D-Phoenix, also voted against the bill.
Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said the bill is a defense against maniacs.
"I have no doubt this bill is going to help Arizona and will pass," he said. "A lot of kids are going to die if there isn't someone in that school to protect them."

Dar Es Salaam — The Roman Catholic Church in Dar es Salaam has opened a commercial bank. Mkombozi Commercial Bank, (which is Swahili word for saviour) was opened to the general public on August 28 last week at its headquarters of St. Joseph Cathedral Church in Dar es Salaam. Officials said it would target small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and low-end market clientele.
The Auxiliary Bishop of Dar es Salaam Archdiocese, Method Kilaini said earlier in the week that the bank had already joined the Umoja switch, an arrangement, which enables the clients to withdrawal cash from several automated teller machines (ATMs).
The Umoja consortium includes banks like Bank of Africa (BoA), Azania Bank, Twiga Bancorp, Akiba Commercial Bank (ACB), Dar es Salaam Community Bank (DCB), Tanzania Investment Bank (TIB) and Access Bank.
Bishop Kilaini said the diocese, parishes, other religious organizations and individuals from different religious backgrounds had bought shares in the new bank.
Mkombozi Commercial Bank has started with TShs6.8 billion ($5 million) capital raised from investors purchasing shares at Tsh1,000 ($0.75). The minimum one could purchase was 100 shares each.

Pena Nieto announces run for Mexico presidency
MEXICO CITY The man who most Mexicans believe will be elected their next president has finally said publicly that he wants the job.
Enrique Pena Nieto, the former governor of Mexico State known for his movie star looks and marriage to a soap opera star, told the Televisa network late Monday that he plans to seek the nomination to run in the July 2012 election as the candidate of the once all-powerful Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI.
His announcement four days after leaving the governor's office left Mexico abuzz Tuesday with one of the most-anticipated bits of non-news. Everyone knew he would run, and polls say that if the election were held today, he would win.
"Surprise," Jesus Zambrano, president of the leftist Democratic Revolutionary Party, or PRD, joked in a statement. "We almost fainted."
Pena Nieto, 45, is seen as the PRI's best chance to regain the presidency it held for more than 70 years before losing to Vicente Fox in 2000 and then Felipe Calderon in 2006, both of the National Action Party, or PAN.
Until Monday, Pena Nieto had never directly said he planned to run.
He told the Televisa network he will work hard for the nomination, calling the polls that put him ahead just a "snapshot" of the moment.
He also put out what many expect to be his campaign message: That he represents a new generation and not the ruling PRI of old, which was nicknamed the "perfect dictatorship" by Nobel literature laureate Mario Vargas Llosa.
Pena Nieto said he expects to prove "that we can renew hope among Mexicans, that we can build a better nation, that we can live in a county of quiet and peace."
Potential candidates from other parties polling far behind him have left their other posts and have been pre-campaigning for weeks now, including former Finance Secretary Ernesto Cordero, former Sen. Santiago Creel and former Congresswoman Josefina Vazquez Mota, all for the PAN.
The only presumed candidate who is still in office is Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard of the PRD, who matched the news about Pena Nieto on Tuesday with his own coincidental platform - his last State of the City address. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who narrowly lost the presidency to Calderon in 2006, has also said he will again seek the PRD nomination.
The PRD, meanwhile, demanded on Tuesday to know why Pena Nieto was being protected by the Estado Mayor, Mexico's equivalent of the Secret Service, if he's a private citizen.
After using media blitzes over the last five years to tout the accomplishments of his administration in Mexico's most populous state, Pena Nieto had been lying low since the election of his successor, Eruviel Avila, in July.
Mexican law requires presidential candidates to leave other political posts in advance of the campaign, and prohibits official presidential campaigning until February of the election year, when all parties officially choose their candidates.
Senate President Manlio Fabio Beltrones is also expected to seek the nomination for the PRI.

Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Beachinchick Favorite Fringe I'm 5'10 and wear a size 6 so I vary between a small and medium in FP, but based on other reviews I got this in the small and it fits me just like the model pictured even on length. The colors are muted, soft, and very flattering and the material is soft as well. Another FP favorite! 3.17.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Ziselinha Way Too Big Just to be aware, little women(!) - I'm 5'2" 116 lbs (at most) & I bought this sweater in Small. It's gigantic on me... like a big dress. The model must be very tall in the picture. I'm returning it. Aside from that, it's soft & the color is nice. Oh well. 2.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Holz LOVE IT! I am 5'10" and a larger frame (curvy). I ordered a large and it fits great! It is a gorgeous top and looks exactly like the one in the photo. It is a very pretty colour and the sleeves are amazing! Highly recommend this top! 2.4.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cubby Cute! Cute! Love this sweater!!! As soon as seen it had to have it. Sometimes I wera a small or med. got a med. and very happy with it. Not stichy at all very soft!. Made well. 2.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SheebsRoe Love this sweater!!! I bought this as a Christmas present to myself. Everytime I wear it, I recieve compliments. It is so beautiful in person. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. I bought a medium and I think it is pretty true to size. 1.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by HRKW Beautiful. The real colors of this sweater are far more lovely in real life than they even are in the picture. They're woven so that they're very bright underneath and not quite as bright on the outside. But bits of this shows as you move about, and of course it shows in the hood. The blue is that most flattering light blue that looks good on everyone. But the best thing about this sweater is most definitely the feel of the material. SO soft. The neck is quite wide, so if you get a large, the sweater will not only be very long (on me, as I'm only 5'3", it comes down to almost my knees, which is what I wanted because I wanted to wear it as a dress as well). But because the neck is so big, you might need to wear a shirt underneath. I wear a pretty slip top underneath and the lace makes a gorgeous contrast with the blue material of this sweater. Looks fantastic with long pendants, layered, and all colors. The fringe doesn't get messed up in the dryer if you decide to dry it, but I've only personally tried it for ten minutes on very, very low, just to finish it up in drying so that I could wear it that day. It didn't shrink after that either, but like I said, it was only ten minutes and on low. I love this sweater. 12.1.2012

The Fresh Egg blog
Latest digital marketing news
We're a social bunch here at Fresh Egg, and that even includes lunchtimes. What with a gym, a pool table, dartboard and video game consoles, you'd think we'd have a hundred things to do other than actually work through lunch. However, one of the regular features of the office is a voluntary "lunch and learn", where various members of staff get to showcase their particular expertise on a given subject.
Last week, we held a brainstorming session on social media tools. Armed with a supply of pizzas supplied by our MD, the lunch and learn group compiled a hit list of ten social media tactics (be they sites, tools or techniques) that people can use right away.
What other quick wins do you use as part of your social media strategy? Let us know in the comments below.
In no particular order, here are the ten finalists:
1. Pinterest
Despite great leaps in accessibility, the web is still predominantly a visual phenomenon and the stratospheric popularity of Pinterest just demonstrates this. If you have a site or business that deals with actual products, or even more abstract concepts that could be visually or creatively represented, then Pinterest is a hugely important site. Check out our free free e-book on this as well, just to help you out.
3. Competitions
While your brand followers may hang on every tweet, observation and status update, at heart we all love the opportunity to get something for nothing (or for very little!). The chance to win something never fails to seize attention, especially if it's a really good prize and the difficulty of the question and method of entry is as easy as possible.
4. Social buttons on email signatures
Another quick win, but one often overlooked, especially when there tends to be one person who "does all the social media stuff" in a company. Having an integrated and consolidated approach to your social media properties increases the channels through which your audience can interact with your brand.
5. Social button/profiles on any online or offline advertising
Have you noticed how many adverts, whether in print, on the TV or even radio are now showing/mentioning Facebook and Twitter? Much in the same way as small businesses usually put a phone number and (usually) a web address on a vehicle, ensuring any advertising includes social properties is another quick win.
6. Netvibes/Quora/Yahoo! Answers/Google Alerts
Monitoring what people say or mention about your brand and taking the time to respond appropriately makes certain companies stand head and shoulders above others. Solutions vary in price, but a combination of the ones listed can give you a free heads-up to people talking – in either a positive, neutral or negative tone – about you or your company.
7. Knowem
This one does cost, but secures your brand profile on up to 300 social media sites. As well as preventing brand-squatting, it also gives you a nice branded back-link into the bargain. Although many of these platforms will likely have foundered a year or two down the line, there's no way of knowing which will catapult to Pinterest's level of popularity, either. And having a company-branded user profile on the Next Big Thing is never a hardship.
8. Banner Ads
Yes, it may not be cutting-edge, but the undeniable fact is that getting the right sort of banner in the right place in front of the right market does wonders. Little surprise then, that banner ad providers are marketing themselves chiefly on the level of data segmentation they can provide to merchants.
9. Bookmarking
Direct referrals from sites such as Stumbleupon, Reddit and Digg can soon add up to a useful chunk of traffic for a website, if fed with genuinely interesting content. These larger, more powerful bookmarking sites have a strong, devoted and usually self-policing user base, which helps eliminate spamming on the site.
10. LinkedIn
Often seen as the fifth wheel in terms of social button inclusion, LinkedIn is actually hugely useful, especially for B2B. Allowing user networking, recommendations and also participation in subject forums, LinkedIn can not only bring you to other's attention, it can also provide highly relevant leads to your business.

MARION, Iowa -- Bill McTaggart understands the correlation.
"The more we win, the better draw we get," he said.
And with time ticking toward the girls' basketball version of "Selection Monday," Iowa City High is making a major push.
The Class 5A sixth-ranked Little Hawks flattened Linn-Mar with a 22-0 first-half run and coasted to a 60-32 Mississippi Valley Conference victory Friday night at Linn-Mar High School.
City High won its sixth straight game and continued to push toward a favorable draw once the regional pairings are released Jan. 21 by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.
The Little Hawks (13-2 overall, 6-1 MVC) are rolling, even with one eye doing a little scoreboard-watching.
"We already knew that (No. 4) Southeast Polk had lost (earlier Friday)," said guard Mickey Hansche. "That helps a little bit. We know we can help ourselves out a lot by winning until the brackets come out. We play (Cedar Rapids) Kennedy next week, and we really need that one."
City High took the drama out of this one quickly and decisively. Linn-Mar (6-8, 4-4) led, 5-4, about three minutes in. Nine minutes later, the Little Hawks were in firm command, 26-5.
It was 34-9 at halftime.
"They're a good team," Linn-Mar Coach Mike Brandt said. "They're a very good team. They have a lot of weapons, and they play such good defense with a great presence inside."
That would be junior Haley Lorenzen, who committed a week ago to play at the University of Florida. Lorenzen nearly had a double-double by halftime, and finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Hansche added 18 points of her own, and each of the City starters had at least five rebounds as the Little Hawks built a 50-33 rebounding advantage.
"We took care of the glass, and I think we defended well," McTaggart said. "I think when we switched presses, it kept them off balance. And it helped a little bit that they were cold tonight."
Linn-Mar shot 22.2 percent from the floor (12 of 54).
The Lions did have a strong stretch in the third quarter and closed within 38-23 before the Little Hawks re-established control.
Mykaela Brandt and Alexis Libenguth led the Lions with eight points apiece.

On 2 February the Rus Accord Hotel in Kyiv held the third annual Ukrainian Hotel Forum. This key event for the Ukrainian industry of hospitality was organized by Business Summit and gathered the leaders of the Ukrainian hotel industry – hoteliers, hotel and hotel department CEOs and managers, directors and representatives of international hotel chains in Ukraine, and representatives of administrating companies and investors.
The theme of this year's forum was "Condition Number One: Before and after Euro 2012. Focus on the guest: service, quality, control. The strategy for development of strong national hotel brands".
During a press conference ahead of the forum the event organizers discussed important questions regarding the Ukrainian hospitality market, namely whether the Ukrainian hotel industry is ready to host guests of Euro 2012. As a whole, all speakers representing national hotel chains, associations of hotels, restaurants and spa resorts, public organizations and hotel market suppliers said that their facilities had conducted considerable preparatory work and most of them were now ready for the event.
CEO Irina Sidletska of Premier International, Ukraine's leading hotel operator, said that the question of readiness was important not only for hotels, but also for all aspects of tourism infrastructure in the cities hosting matches of the championship. She added that each guest's overall impression will be influenced by the quality of many associated spheres: public transport, taxis, banks, entertainment, and food and beverage.
"If some hosting facilities didn't have enough time to prepare adequately for various objective reasons, they still have a few months left and should make maximum use of this time. For our part, we are ready to provide guests with comfortable accommodations and give them recommendations on locations and activities in each host city. Here, in Kyiv, they are going to spend the majority of their stay and get their impressions about Ukraine, which is why it is important to coordinate the work of all tourism infrastructure", Sidletska said.
Premier International is the first purely Ukrainian hotel operator in the country and which, since 2003, has been the leader on the market in the 3-, 4- and 5-star hotel fields. At present the company manages three unique hotel chains:
Premier Hotels – a collection of luxury hotels in Ukraine;
Accord Hotels – a group of medium-priced Ukrainian business hotels;
Compass Hotels – an economy class hotel chain.
Premier International also provides consultative and technical support for hotels in Ukraine, including project development, commissioning, reorganization and hotel franchise opportunities.

Pet Care: Pets show when they aren't wellDear Dr. Fox: I appreciate your protection of animals other than dogs and cats. I also wonder how you can even stomach or print the letters like the person who insists on toilet training the cats and now has one peeing on her bed.
By: By Dr. Michael Fox, INFORUM
Dear Dr. Fox: I appreciate your protection of animals other than dogs and cats. I also wonder how you can even stomach or print the letters like the person who insists on toilet training the cats and now has one peeing on her bed.
I'm writing about my cat Marshmallow, who has hopped on my toilet seat many times to poop or pee. I never taught her that. Another interesting thing is that when she is having a urinary problem, she shows me when I am on the toilet. She will go in the tub next to me, pee and stare at me. Or while I'm scooping litter, she'll come to show me she is straining.
– J.Z., Ayr, N.D.
Dear J.Z.: Cats are notably adept at communicating to their human caregivers when they are ill. Cystitis is one of their most common maladies, and many cats will deliberately squat, strain and, if they can, void some urine (often tinged with blood) at their human companions' feet. A few uninformed owners think their cats have suddenly become house-soilers and scold them or put them outside.
I would like to hear other readers' comments about when, how, where and why their cats, dogs and other animals have communicated that they are ill, suffering or in need of help. Many simply go into hiding out of pain and fear. Remember that any such sudden change in temperament calls for an immediate veterinary evaluation.
Dear Dr. Fox: I have a 5½-year-old male Brussels griffon named Callie. Callie was diagnosed with primary Addison's disease almost two years ago. Since Callie's diagnosis, his doctor has recommended that he receive a Percorten injection every five weeks, in addition to ¼ tablet of prednisone 5 mg daily.
Callie struggles with stress, so I try to eliminate as much stress as possible on a daily basis. During a recent examination, his doctor detected a heart murmur and recommended that Callie see a cardiologist for his heart defect. I worry about the additional stress this may cause (in regard to visiting a new office) and understand that his daily dose of prednisone does have a significant impact on his heart.
In your opinion, would Callie benefit from seeing a cardiologist? I understand there may be nothing they can do for his heart murmur. Callie is a very sweet and loving dog, and he depends on me to make the right choices for his medical care. Your time and thoughts are greatly appreciated. – A.S., Fairfax, Va.
Dear A.S.: Your poor dog's condition is unfortunately quite common in dogs today, but the cause of this condition of poorly functioning or exhausted adrenal glands is not yet known. It could be a condition of breed and temperament, coupled with an as-yet-unidentified external trigger. These triggers may include an increasing number of so-called endocrine disrupters, as well as injections or vaccinations that are associated with evoking autoimmune diseases.
You must continue with the hormone replacement medication and periodic monitoring. Supplements of buffered vitamin C with bioflavonoids, N,N-dimethylglycine, licorice and melatonin may help the adrenal glands.
Many dogs have heart murmurs, and I would not subject Callie to further tests at this time. Supplements such as magnesium and coenzyme Q10 should benefit his heart muscle. But any signs of fatigue, swelling of limbs or abdomen, pale or bluish gums, or coughing and difficulty breathing warrant an immediate heart checkup.
Dear Dr. Fox: Over the years, you've published letters from people asking about cats who licked off their hair. You've responded with possible physical explanations, but you haven't said the causes may be emotional or psychological. I think you should include that suggestion in future responses.
I believe the experience of Milady Cat (my companion of 19½ years) suggests that such compulsive behavior can result from emotional states such as depression.
We moved from a pretty, well-lighted second-floor apartment after 10 years together there (where she grew up from a 4-month-old kitten) to a much darker, ground-floor "garden" apartment. She hid away for hours after the move. After six to eight months there, her belly hair started to disappear. This continued, and I found a local vet who tried several physical remedies (not food changes), including a strong drug that affected her so powerfully she was limp on the bedroom floor.
After four years there, we moved to a town house with lots of windows and lots of light. This was our second move together, and she clearly knew what was up this time and let me know she approved of our new place – rubbing on a corner, coming back to rub on me, back to rub on the banister, back to me, and purring at megaphone level. This was a huge, important "thank you," an enormous "yes."
After a year or so in this new place, her belly hair started to grow back. I rather hoped she would recover all that hair before she died, and she did – completely grown back, totally beautiful, for the last years of her life. – A.T., Silver Spring, Md.
Dear A.T.: So-called psychogenic alopecia in cats who groom excessively – to the point of self-mutilation and patchy, often extensive hair loss – is an issue worth revisiting. It is a condition triggered by emotional stress such as the death of a companion, moving to a new place or even one family member going off to college. In my book "Cat Body, Cat Mind," I tell the sad saga of one cat who was so grief-stricken that he chewed off part of his tail after his companion kitten died.
The rule of thumb in diagnosing possible psychogenic and psychosomatic disorders in animals is to first eliminate physical causes such as flea-bite hypersensitivity, food allergy or thyroid gland disease.
Cats are extremely tactile and sensitive to touch, and they will briefly groom themselves when they are suddenly surprised or become anxious, such as before a thunderstorm or after a spat with another cat in the home. This is a self-comforting behavior that can become an obsessive-compulsive disorder when stress factors persist. The herb catnip, as well as various psychotropic prescription drugs, may alleviate symptoms.

Looks – Naughty Nauticals Purple, Green, and Blue Oh My!
Ohh, a little overboard in this look. I'm probably heading up to my parents' house, so I'll end up wearing a different look there anyway! (I usually spend all day outside running around with my puppy, so minimal makeup is usually better!)
I used Lark About pigment (LE) on inner lid, Mutiny pigment (LE) on middle of lid, Bell Bottom Blue pigment (LE) on outer lid, Rite of Spring eyeshadow (LE) on inner lid, Juxt eyeshadow on middle of lid, Newly Minted eyeshadow on middle of lid, Freshwater eyeshadow on outer lid and crease, Juxt eyeshadow above crease, Phloof! eyeshadow on brow, Mutiny pigment (LE) on lower lash line, Graphblack technakohl on lower lash line, Blacktrack fluidline on upper lash line, and Plushlash mascara on lashes. I had Other Worldly blush (LE) on cheeks with Dior Amber Diamond Skin Shimmer on cheeks. I wore Fun Fun lipstick (LE) with Comet Blue dazzleglass (LE) and Ms. Fizz dazzleglass (LE).
** These are recommendations for dupes based on permanent colors available — may not necessarily be identical; they are the closest I can think of!
Lark About = Frozen White; Mutiny = Sky Blue (PRO); Bell Bottom Pigment = Naval, Deep Truth; Rite of Spring = Pink Opal; Other Worldly = Raizin; Fun Fun = Pervette; Comet Blue = Turquatic Glitter + gloss; Ms. Fizz = Flashmode (maybe)

Customer Reviews of KWorld Digital ATSC QAM TV Tuner Box Reveiver VGA-Watch Digital TV In HD Format
Great Product9/17/2010
I received this product a few days ago and hooked it up to a "hd-ready" tv via component video. The picture quality is excellent. The set up could be arranged more logically, but it really is not that bad. Also, I was under the impression that the tuner would not affect channels picked up via an antenna. In my case, that was not true. I had tried a tuner I picked up in store, but it downgraded all input signals to standard definition. I had repeatedly scanned channels in the days I had it hooked up. When I switched out that tuner for this one, I received some channels that were not available with the previous tuner. Not just hd channels - actual "families" of over the air channels (9-1, 9-2, etc.). Since I just got it a few days ago after getting rid of Charter cable, I cannot comment on longevity. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase, and I hope it continues to function for some time.
not bad product, but remote very unfriendly7/6/2009
Took a while to setup, afterwards, result came out pretty good. very bad remote setup, index and icons are very poor, very confusing when using it.
Perfect if it had an output to DVD Player3/8/2009
This has been a good bargain but still leaves me wanting more. I attached this to a HD capable monitor, did a scan for channels of my rabbit ears, and got 13 over the air digital channels, most with HD output. I attached this to a cable service and got 81 unencrypted channels. Some in HD. What I want more is: It could have another output, dvi, to go to my DVD so that I can record the tv programs. Also another set of sound outputs. It would be nice to be able to go to the unencrypted channels directly, however, the remote is not capable of entering more than three numbers. A lot of the unencrypted channels have up to seven numbers and the only way to get to them is by moving up or down the channels in order.4 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
watch hdtv on any vga input1/15/2009
The good: I have not had any problems with the unit yet. I was able to watch hd tv on my computer's lcd in 3 minutes after opening the package. I get 20+ channels here. Small antenna is good, I have not tried another antennas. Good picture good colors on hd channels 1024*768 on my lcd, no picture distortion on my lcd. It froze once: unplug power and you are right back watching. I hooked it up on my 37" lcd via vga input as well and got same good results. The not that good: every switch of channel is not as fast as I would like it to be and for 3 sec it displays unnecessary info... When switching output or screen resolution, sometimes you do not know where you are, the lcd receives no signal and it is kinda hard to get back to seeing a picture. It happened once when I was playing with the remote, I had to unplug and play further with the buttons without knowing what the outcome would be. Somehow I got a picture.... frustrating. This might be the problem that many experience. The unit might not be defective, just out of tune... Manual is a mini flier instructions, not a manual Final thoughts: it does what is supposed to do and for the price I paid ($53.00) it was a great value more than 5 stars on value)
Great product after difficult setup1/15/2009
The setup for this item is not very intuitive, and the instructions are minimal, so if you can get past the challenging setup, this is a great product. The Kworld tuner connects to a spare monitor to produce a sharp TV picture, and it plays music or photos from a USB drive. The QAM tuner works best for me, since I am 30 miles away from TV stations and the tiny included antenna won't pick up anything but very strong DTV signals. If buyers will just patiently work through the setup, they will be happy with this product. One setup matter not mentioned is that the included cable is to be used only if you want to connect both your computer and the Kworld tuner to your monitor. Otherwise, just use the monitor cable that came with your monitor. I sent a long time trying to figure out how to connect cables.
Great Box1/14/2009
I bought this to turn a 19" LCD into an HDTV for the bedroom. It works perfect. Comcast in my part of FL is still sending most of its signals through analog, so I'm not getting all the channels, but the ones I do receive are AWESOME. I was able to watch the BCS Championship in bed, in Hi-Def, no problem. It appears that only the qam channels can be read in my area, because I am even receiving the On Demand channel through this box. I tried hooking up the antenna first, and it grabbed about 4 channels using the supplied antenna in a very poor reception area(my cell phone has trouble getting a signal in my room, as an example). Overall, for the money, well worth the investment.
Decent product1/11/2009
So far (~2 weeks), this has been a decent product. I have a very basic Comcast cable package in Utah (not digital cable or anything) and it picks up all of the cable channels as well as the local channels in HD. Apparently Comcast sends the local HD signals along the line, so I didn't need to use the included antenna. The channel guide is either really lame or I can't figure out how to use it. I get show information and channel names for the local over-the-air channels, but it only shows cryptic channel numbers for the cable channels. Maybe this is Comcast's fault and not the device's fault. The device seemed to stop responding once or twice the first couple of days that I was using it, so I had to unplug it and do a channel scan again. It seems that it doesn't remember channels after you unplug it. It also seems like it "lost" a channel once (it didn't hit the channel as I looped through them), so I again had to do a channel scan to find the channel. We are using this with a projector that doesn't have a TV tuner, and for the price, I think it was worth it to bring TV to our projector. We are using component video cables and sending 1080i to the projector. The pictures is good. It's not great for channel surfing, but if you know which program you are going to watch, you can eventually find it.
Cost effective & Good performance but room to impr1/11/2009
Good quality HD picture and convert computer LCD into high quality HD monitor. Good to use with indoor antenna and cable HD TV. However,adding a favorite channel button on remote could make this product better. Each time I had to input 4 to 6 digit channel made me a little inconvenient at times. Overall, I am satisfied with the quality of pictures I am getting.
good idea but...1/2/2009
pros: 1. price was not bad compared to buying a tv converter box 2. plugs directly into VGA monitor (more on that later) 3. picked up about 8 channels using the small antenna cons: 1. wrong VGA cable came in the box - ended up having to unplug my VGA cable to the pc to use with this tuner box 2. poor documentation 3. picture quality is so so - will try to get a better indoor antenna to see if that makes any difference
Cheap but decent external tuner1/2/2009
This unit works as advertised. My TV is HD capable but requires an external tuner for HD channels. It found 12 clear HD channels from Comcast. The manual is weak, but I never use one anyway. The remote is very cheap and does not function very quickly. I only use this to watch HD channels so was is not that a deal breaker. It was the least expensive unit I could find so I was willing to sacrifice some performance for price.
Great for photo picture frame12/31/2008
I bought this mostly to use to play photo's from a USB stick. It works very well for that - I stuck the unit to the back of a monitor and for the price of the unit, monitor and 2 gig usb stick have an excellent photo frame. The slideshow can't be configured, but it rotates through the photos in alphabetical order showing each for about 5 seconds. I've got 500+ photo's and it runs fine. The TV tuner doesn't seem to pick up reception reliably, I'm not sure if it's my area or the antenna itself but it frequently losses reception and shows no signal found.
Works as advertised12/30/2008
I bought this HD tuner box to work with my 800x600 DLP LCD projector and it does a decent job overall. It took me a while to figure out how to switch the display mode to letterbox. In the default mode for my display device, the image ratio is 4:3 so everything looks weird. You have to go into setup mode and change the display mode from the default to letterbox. It should work fine out of the box if your display is already widescreen. The documentation for this product is very skimpy. But then again, most people don't read the manual. One annoyance is that the default setting for each channel is closed-captioning is turned on. I had to manually turn it off for each channel.
Amazing product11/3/2008
Wow, this tv tuner box is awesome! I have purchased this tuner box connect directly into monitor. I am able to received 20-30 free over the air digital TV channels just with the antenna that comes with the device. I have tried with outdoor antenna when visit my friends, even more channels at least 30+... The picture quality is so sharp and nice while watching ball game. This devise is amzing, plug and play. For those of you who want to enjoy HDTV without PC. This is the choice! Buy one you will be amazed how good the picture is when watch free to air HD TV channels. No fees.

Style: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu--
I've been out of the loop...
So between changing jobs, moving into a new house, and my wife giving birth to my 2nd son, I've been a bit out of the loop for a while.
Plus my DSL isn't hooked up yet at my new house. **** You Very Much, Verizon.
So what's the scopp on Phrost leaving? What's all this then????
BTW -- my new house has a 720sf attched, lighted shop with 9 foot ceilings. I plan to put in a floor and finally have my own home dojo -- and hopefully, a future site to host a Seattle area Throwdown! (I've got a hot tub at the new place too, for afterwards....)

Prevention is our first priority this season. It's a lot easier to maintain health than to treat illness. We can take some extra steps during the fall and winter to help our bodies function properly and be able to fight off bacteria and viruses more effectively.
1. Frequent Hand Washing– Use a good hand soap and scrub up. I like doTERRA's On Guard foaming hand wash. However, when you are out and about you don't always have access to a sink and suds. That's when I pull out my little spray bottle with lemon oil and water. Spray down shopping cart handles, your hands, restaurant tables, etc. Great way to cleanse on the go. Also, takes care of any sticky kid messes great! It smells divine too. I LOVE lemon oil for helping to keep hands clean in-between washes with soap.
2. Proper Nutrition– Good nutrition is super important to maintain health this season. Eat your green veggies and drink plenty of water. I like to add a drop or two of essential oil in my water, yum! Daily use of the Lifelong Vitality pack (awesome daily supplements) can help fill in the gaps for you.
3. "The BOMB". I'm sure you've heard of this combination by now. Even if so, it's worth repeating the recipe:
4 drops Lemon
2 drops Oregano
2 drops Melaleuca
2 drops Protection Blend
Place in an empty gel capsule and swallow. Remember, small amounts of essential oils applied frequently is the best way to use them.
For kids or those who can't or don't want to swallow homemade capsules, you can add the drops to a roller bottle and fill it the rest of the way up with Fractionated Coconut oil. Apply to the bottoms of the feet.
4. Homemade Throat drops and Syrup. There are lots of tried and true home methods for soothing throat. Honey + lemon comes to mind. There are some great oils that can support healthy respiratory function as well. Eucalyptus oil is a great one. Sometimes a little bit rubbed on the feet or chest is enough to see some benefits.
Just a note that doTERRA sells throat drops which are awesome to have around or keep in your bag for emergencies. They are a great line of defense to help boost the immune system.
If you want something a little more DIY, try these recipes:
Natural Honey Throat Syrup
4 drops Lemon
2 drops Clove
2 drops Clary Sage
2 drops Thyme
2 drops Ginger
1 drop Chamomile
1 drop Fennel
4 tbs Raw Honey
2 cups Distilled Warm Water
Dissolve the honey in the warm water. Don't overheat. When combined and cool, add the essential oils. Pour into a amber glass container and store in the fridge. Shake before use. Take a spoonful or so when you need relief. Repeat often.
Honey Throat Drops
1 1/3 Cup Raw Honey
1 1/2 Cup Water
20 drops Protective Blend
Stevia Powder
Candy Thermometer
Mound stevia in a pie plate. Create rounded indentions in the stevia with the back of a small spoon. Set aside. Bring honey and water to a boil. Continue boiling until hard crack stage. Take pan off of the heat and stir. Add Protection blend Essential Oil. Spoon drops of the mixture into the stevia molds. Let cool to touch. Roll drops around in the stevia till coated. Wrap in parchment paper.
5. Peppermint, Lavender, & Lime are great cooling, relaxing, and soothing oils. Apply them down the spine, on the feet, to the temples, and the back of the neck. Remember, small amounts, applied often works best.
A tension blend containing oils such as peppermint, lavender, frankincense, chamomile, etc. is a great oil blend to have on hand for soothing localized tension. Experiment and see what works for you. When you are extra tense, you can also try to use a Soothing blend, or Wintergreen. Apply topically but don't forget to use them aromatically too.
6. Boost Immunity with On Guard products– Products made from this blend include the oil blend itself, toothpaste, cleaning concentrate, hand wash, and throat drops. Use On Guard throughout the day to keep up your immunity. Just line everyone up and apply it to the feet every day. Or make everyone in your family their own On Guard roller bottle filled with a few drops of the blend and filled the rest of the way with fractionated coconut oil. Read about a study done with this blend HERE.
Having the oils in rollers and spray bottles makes them a lot easier to use. Pre-portioning your days vitamins and supplements make them a lot more easy to take. Invest a little in some application materials that will help you use oils often and successfully. Do you have a diffuser? Do you have a Modern Essentials book? Get these supplies ready for a successful experience.

Tim Cook, Apple's Chief Operating Officer, answered some questions from Wall Street investors at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet conference.
While most of his answers don't tell us much of anything, as they are mostly meant to reassure shareholders, we did have some minor revelations:
- The iPad will be first sold directly by Apple and later on by other retailers like Best Buy.
- He has owned an iPad for the last 6 months and is very fond of it.
- Apple should now mostly be seen as a "A Mobile-Device Company".
- Sticking by AT&T has advantages for Apple like simplicity and the possibility to work on new features easier.
- They are not making a TV.
- The iPhone Business is "just getting started".

Rams' Jackson to void final year of contract
FEB 26, 2013 8:22a ET
According to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch report, Jackson will void the final year of his contract in St. Louis and become a free agent. Jackson, who will turn 30 before the season, would have been owed $7 million in the final year of his contract.
The two sides reportedly will continue to discuss an opportunity to bring Jackson back to St. Louis. The Rams, however, must compete with other suitors for the three-time Pro Bowl selection.
Jackson, who not made a playoff appearance since his rookie season, likely will be interested in signing only with contending teams at this stage in his career.
In nine seasons with the Rams, Jackson has eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing eight times and amassed 10,135 yards with 56 rushing touchdowns. His 13,459 yards from scrimmage rank first in the NFL since 2004 and second in club history behind only Isaac Bruce (14,259).

WHITEHAVEN will have to do it the hard way in the play-offs after Doncaster staged a dramatic late comeback at the Keepmoat Stadium.
David Seeds' side led 18-10 going into the final 10 minutes of a bruising and pulsating Championship One encounter.
But late scores from Craig Fawcett and Nev Morrison, whose winning try came just three minutes before the hooter, condemned Haven to a gut-wrenching reverse.
The defeat leaves Haven five points adrift of fourth-placed Doncaster with just two games remaining.
Seeds said: "Obviously we're absolutely devastated with the outcome but we put it on a plate for Doncaster.
"We played a lot better than we have done in recent games but mistakes cost us in the end.
"There were a couple of other positives – Paul King and Chris Gerrard came into the side and really looked the part.
"But looking ahead to the play-offs we'll have to do it the hard way.
"We'll have to regroup this week and keep our chins up."
Doncaster, who are now now eyeing a top two finish, broke the deadlock on nine minutes.
Mike Coady beat Craig Calvert to Craig Fawcett's high kick to touch down in the corner and give the hosts a four-point advantage, but Scott Spaven dragged his difficult conversion attempt wide of the left hand post.
Haven were struggling to gain the upper hand against a determined Doncaster outfit but midway through the first half they were gifted the chance to cancel out Coady's try.
Lee Doran charged down Fawcett's grubber kick deep inside Haven territory and broke quickly to half way before Loz Hamzat ghosted through the Dons' defensive line.
Lewis Palfrey kicked Whitehaven into a 6-4 lead – and, slightly against the run of play, the visitors extended their lead to eight points just five minutes before the break.
A sweeping move from left to right allowed Hamzat to dive over in the corner for his second score of the game.
Palfrey followed it up with a superb conversion from out wide to give Haven a 12-4 half-time advantage.
But Whitehaven were caught cold after the restart.
Kyle Kesik was allowed to reach for the line and plant the ball down with the second period just two minutes old.
Spaven's simple conversion reduced the deficit to just two points – and only a last-ditch Craig Benson intervention prevented Kesik from latching onto a Spaven kick and scoring what would have been a simple try for the hosts.
Debutant prop Paul King, signed until the end of the season after leaving Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, was then held up by a resolute Doncaster defence at the base of the goalpost as Whitehaven looked to increase their slender lead.
Haven's third try did arrive on 63 minutes when Palfrey played in Luke Isakka and the prop powered over from five yards, with Palfrey again adding the extras.
Winger Hamzat then had to be helped from the field nursing a leg injury as the visitors looked to take the sting out of the Dons.
But Doncaster were not finished yet.
The impressive Fawcett showed good strength to power over the line from close range with nine minutes remaining on the clock and Spaven's kick set up a thrilling finale.
And the home side snatched a dramatic win when Morrison was on the end of a brilliant move following an incisive Mick Butterfield run from well inside his own half.

Mayo Clinic developed gradually from the medical practice of a pioneer doctor, Dr. William Worrall Mayo, who settled in Rochester, Minn., in 1863. His dedication to medicine became a family tradition when his sons, Drs. William James Mayo and Charles Horace Mayo, joined his practice in 1883 and 1888, respectively.
From the beginning, innovation was their standard and they shared a pioneering zeal for medicine. As the demand for their services increased, they asked other doctors and basic science researchers to join them in the world's first private integrated group practice.
Although the Mayo doctors were initially viewed as unconventional for practicing medicine through this teamwork approach, the benefits of a private group practice were undeniable.
As the success of their method of practice became evident, so did its acceptance. Patients discovered the advantages to a "pooled resource" of knowledge and skills among doctors. In fact, the group practice concept that the Mayo family originated has influenced the structure and function of medical practice throughout the world.
Along with its recognition as a model for integrated group practice, "the Mayos' Clinic" developed a reputation for excellence in individual patient care. Doctors and students came from around the world to learn new techniques from the Mayo doctors, and patients came from around the world for diagnosis and treatment. What attracted them was not only technologically advanced medicine, but also the caring attitude of the doctors.
Through the years, Mayo Clinic has nurtured and developed its founders' style of working together as a team. Shared responsibility and consensus still provide the framework for decision making at Mayo.
That teamwork in medicine is carried out today by more than 55,000 doctors, nurses, scientists, students and allied health staff at Mayo Clinic locations in the Midwest, Arizona and Florida.

'The Rachel Zoe Project': What would Taylor say?
We thought that maybe the Rachel Zoe crew had gotten all their complaints and accusations about Taylor Jacobson out in the premiere episode of Bravo's "The Rachel Zoe Project." After all, they have to move on, right?
Well, it doesn't seem as if they have. Through out the show, they still threw jabs at Taylor left and right. Should we give the show another chance and see if they're over it in Episode 3? Who are we kidding! Of course we'll be watching the next episode and every episode this season. Duh.
We'd like to get one thing straight. We loved Taylor on the show. She had a bad attitude and she tended to lean toward a negative view on things, but that's what was so great about her.
We can't help but miss Taylor and the counterpoint she brought to the love-fest of RZ Inc. And now that Brad Goreski is in her position, every time he said something, we asked ourselves, WWTS? - What would Taylor say?
So, we gathered some of our fave WWTS? moments below:
Brad on a fresh beginning: "I thought it was time to create new looks for each other."
WWTS? : Whatever. Shut up. I've had the same hair since the mid-nineties. Don't touch me.
Brad on life without Taylor: "I feel like I burned my bra."
WWTS?: This job sucks. Rachel told me she was going to make me queen of merchandising and I'm still unpacking boxes. Bras? I'm a 34D. You all make me feel like an oinker.
Brad on the lost Versace dress: "When something goes missing, it's my job to find it."
WWTS?: That just blows. That hotel is just stupid. What can I do about it? I didn't take it. I'm not a sample size!
Brad encouraging the new assistant to speak up: "I don't wear women's clothes. I need your opinion. So, bring it!"
WWTS?: You want to go to Paris with Rachel? Fine. You go to Paris while I stay here and do all the crap jobs and answer the phone while you're away. Tell Chanel I heart them.
Don't you miss Taylor, too?

Games I Played 2012: Episode 6- Bulletstorm
By D_Bones 2 Comments
Chugging along with blog number 6. At the start of each of these blogs I make my standard statement about why they exist at all. For the maybe one person who has read more than one I apologize. For anyone else I`m writing these blogs for the mere fact that due to economic reasons (and sensible ones) I am not able to typically play 10 new games each year. As such I miss out on the crazy (and I`m assuming fun) top ten lists that everyone posts at the end of the year. At most I normally play two or three new releases during a given year and save the rest of my money catching up on previous years games. Just as a recap in case anyone reading this wants to pick and choose to read specific thoughts on games I`ve played (not likely but you never know) so far I`ve written about (in order) Resistance 3, Infamous 2, Rage, Twisted Metal and Mass Effect 3. Now that I`m finished my boring ass preamble let`s talk about Bulletstorm!
What did I think, now that is a better question. One of the biggest issues in this game for me to overcome was, can I enjoy a shooter with little story and enjoy it for sheer mechanics and wit alone? For me typically shooters have to have a little something extra in it for me to enjoy fully normally it is the atmosphere or world which gets me. My example would be the Resistance franchise which I thought had a great apocalyptic atmosphere and an interesting alternate history. With Bulletstorm I couldn't see the hook that would get me. Especially with my doubts about the silliness of the dudes. It turns out that the game turned out to be quite enjoyable (especially for ten bucks) and I found myself laughing at Grey and his compadres. The insults in that game come fast and hard which forced laughter out of me on a couple of occasions. The setting itself while being pretty (like that there was colour, no browns or greys here) was sort of just a nice distraction between creatively killing everyone in my way.
The skillshot system and the leash are what make Bulletstorm something different and stand out amount many common FPS's. There are so many ways to kill dudes in this game! Skillshots are basically a points system where you are rewarded more points depending on different ways you kill a dude. For example you can kick a guy into a cactus, or shoot a guy in the butt ha ha. They each have different points associated with them and some are worth more than others with the first time discovery worth more. The leash is this kind of plasma whip thing that grabs enemies and objects toward you while slowing down their movement. It is an important item which contributes a lot to the different timing based skillshots. The guns themselves are fairly awesome with secondary fires which can be pretty sweet. The shotgun has a four barrel secondary shot which obliterates things in front of it, or the sniper which you can move the bullet around in slow motion to guide it to a target of your choosing. I found the guns to be generally fun to use and ridiculous in a Ratchet and Clank weaponry sort of way. The game was not especially difficult but in this case it was alright because the game puts more emphasis on moving fast and racking up points then presenting a considerable challenge. I should mention that the points are used for upgrading and purchasing weapons and powers.
The story itself is pretty much just get the fuck off this planet while a mixture of military goons and native killers just and mess up your day. The antagonist is your old general who screwed you over by essentially making you a hit squad against government enemies. Basically murderers and not soldiers. So obviously the main character is pissed off at being used and crashes the generals ship and stranding yourself as well. The general himself is perhaps the most offensive antagonist in the history of videogames (correct me if I'm wrong) and is just about the most hideously disgusting man in the universe. Which pretty makes for good killing. I think the general was the most entertaining person in the entire game and made me laugh at his verbal abuse whenever his voice was in the speakers.
There was another mode in the game outside the campaign called the Echo mode. Which was basically a level filled with some dudes and the whole point was just to rack up as many points as possible while getting a good time. This was an interesting mode to add in and I'm glad they did for all of the high scorers out there, it is not really my personal thing however. There was also an online mode called Anarchy which I did not try and am a little upset at myself. I mean I doubt I would have filled the ridiculous trophy requirements for Anarchy but I still should have tried it even just to see if it still exists and if anyone is playing.
Ok so final section trophies! Once again I must admit that I have not done Bulletstorm justice and have only gotten a meager percentage of the trophies. Typically I am not content until I have at least 50% of the trophies (its OCD and ridiculous but whatever my thing right). I can however, say to the would be trophy hunters out there that Bulletstorm is no easy plat. Even if the online Anarchy mode is still a thing you will have to play a shit ton to get the gold trophy. Also I think I have like 80% of the skillshots but some of them are incredibly hard and it will be a challenge when I pick up this game again to get all of them. So really my goal in the future (probably during a drought of games) is just to get all the skillshots and improve my %.
Alright bombers that s it for this episode, hope you have enjoyed reading. Next up is a delightful game RAYMAN:ORIGINS!!!

New review looks at "social networking phone"
16 January 2009 — 2:19 PM
The latest phone from 3 has been tested and rated by one online electronics resource this week.
Billed by the network as "the world's most advanced social networking phone" when it was announced last month, Trusted Reviews' Sandra Vogel has offered a first look at the new INQ1.
She states that the handset is the fruit borne of a partnership between 3 and its manufacturing arm Hutchison Whampoa, adding that this has resulted in a model that "as a first effort is impressive".
The INQ1 is available on contract for free with a £15 monthly tariff that includes unlimited web access and texts, easy connection to sites such as Facebook and 75 minutes of any network calls.
Those looking to recycle mobile phones to raise cash for a new model may also be interested to hear the INQ1 has been made available on pay-as-you-go.
Equipped with a 50MB memory, which can be expanded via its microSD card slot, the gadget also boasts a 3.2-megapixel camera.
"This is a nicely constructed slider with a fairly good range of apps on offer and two very enticing special tariffs," Ms Vogel concludes.

TRINIDAD- There are three open seats in the Trinidad City Council Race, but only one candidate is going to be on the November ballot.
That candidate is current City Council Member Jim Baker. Another current member of the council, Dwight Miller, did not qualify to go on the ballot, because one of the signatures on his nomination paper was not from a registered voter. Now, Miller must be a write-in candidate, as candidates can no longer file to be on the November ballot.
If only two people end up applying for the three open positions, after the election, the council will select someone to step in. That person has to be a registered voter who lives in Trinidad.

The (Stupid) Things We Do For MusicSubmitted by jjackson on Thu, 2008-01-03 12:21
Sometimes, but not often, my penchant for thrift outweighs my basic need for self-preservation. Today was a perfect example.
Pianist Jason Lindner is visiting the WBGO performance studio this afternoon to record a session with his Now vs. Now band (Avishai Cohen, Panagiotis Andreou, Mark Guiliana, and Baba Israel). This is their first studio recording. Everyone but the drummer is using electronic processing, which means we need direct boxes to record them. Seven of them. WBGO owns two, and one is broken. That's the background story.
It's 14 degrees in New York this morning, with a wind chill near zero. Zed. Nil. Cold enough to freeze the breath from my nose onto my facial hair.
We typically rent whatever instrument equipment (like direct boxes and extra instrument cables) from Carroll Music. They're at 625 55th Street, between 11th Avenue and the Hudson River. Which is nowhere near public transportation. So after a nice trek from Columbus Circle, I was hurting from the wind shear coming off the Hudson. I arrive, only to pick up a giant metal case with our equipment weighing approximately 45 pounds. No wheels. Sweet.
After I schlepp everything back 58th Street, I walk into the subway entrance. I wobble past the NYPD as they're checking some poor guy's briefcase (but never consider stopping me, a very large man in black with a sizable case that I'm clearly struggling to tote).
Long story short. I'm in Newark. I saved 150 bucks in cartage costs. Well, 75 bucks so far. And I have some killer forearms now.
Hope the music's good!
