At first glance, a video game producer's life seems more like that of a rock star: parties in Las Vegas, New York and Germany, the chance to collaborate with artists from MTV and pulling all-nighters. Look more closely, though, and you begin to see that the video game industry is a tough one, where only the strong survive for more than a few years.
John Podlasek '88, now living in the Chicago area, stuck with it for almost 19 years, and his perseverance paid off: He was senior producer at Midway Games for the immensely popular "Mortal Kombat" games, including "Deadly Alliance," "Deception," "Armageddon" and the newly released "Mortal Kombat vs. DC." Podlasek is currently senior product manager at Video Furnace, a company that enables organizations to securely deliver video over their network to any connected desktop, laptop computer or TV for live broadcasts and public addresses.
"I enjoyed being part of an industry that I grew up on pumping quarters into arcade machines," says Podlasek. "At Midway, I was able to work and become friends with the original designers of the games I loved playing, like "Spy Hunter," "Robotron," "Defender" and "Smash TV,' " he says.
Creating some of the world's most popular video games was no small task. As deadlines approached, Podlasek logged some serious hours at his desk. "I turned my office into a makeshift dorm room with a pull-out futon, coffeemaker, alarm clock and a few changes of clothes," he laughs. Podlasek was sometimes forced to call in artists to make improvements on their games on weekend nights, and he created his own concoction to help them focus: "I brewed some super-strong coffee with Diet Coke mixed in the water to try and sober them up," he says.
The long hours Podlasek worked didn't earn him any overtime compensation. "You either [create games] for the experience and resume building, or because of dedication to the team and the game, which was the case with the Mortal Kombat series," he says.
Still, the perks that came with his job helped make those late hours worth it. After the creation and release of "Mortal Kombat: Deception," Podlasek attended a launch event on the rooftop of the Standard Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. "There were enormous projection TVs and a giant Mortal Kombat logo shining on the building next door like the bat signal," he laughs. Another memorable event involved collaborating with Mike Judge, creator of movies and TV shows like "Office Space" and "King of the Hill," to create a Beavis & Butt-Head video game, a project that also involved Kurt Mitchell '74, an artist, writer and illustrator. "We'd swap stories about Millikin and professor emeritus Marv Klaven, former head of the art department," says Podlasek.
Podlasek says he learned several valuable skills at Millikin that helped him later in his career. "It sounds weird now, but back then there were only a few computers in the art lab because they were so expensive," he says. "I liked spending hours of uninterrupted time learning all the tools and working on projects, so I had to develop my night owl skills." Podlasek also met his wife, Karen Stegman Podlasek '88, during his sophomore year. "[Our meeting] is a long, complicated story involving fire escapes and phone calls, but the short version is that we met at a party," he laughs. "She's an amazing woman with a great deal of patience for putting up with my years of strange hours and schedules." The couple has two sons, fraternal twins Jack and Erik, 7. "Like most kids, they love video games, but they only get to play on weekends – and no Mortal Kombat fighting!"

Product description
Although Iraqi Jews saw themselves as Iraqi patriots, their community - which had existed in Iraq for more than 2,500 years - was displaced following the establishment of the state of Israel. New Babylonians chronicles the lives of these Jews, their urban Arab culture, and their hopes for a democratic nation-state. It studies their ideas about Judaism, Islam, secularism, modernity, and reform, focusing on Iraqi Jews who internalized narratives of Arab and Iraqi nationalisms and on those who turned to communism in the 1940s. As the book reveals, the ultimate displacement of this community was not the result of a perpetual persecution on the part of their Iraqi compatriots, but rather the outcome of misguided state policies during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Sadly, from a dominant mood of coexistence, friendship, and partnership, the impossibility of Arab-Jewish coexistence became the prevailing narrative in the region - and the dominant narrative we have come to know today.

Author information
Orit Bashkin is Associate Professor of Modern Middle East History at the University of Chicago. She is the author of "The Other Iraq: Pluralism and Culture in Hashemite Iraq" (Stanford, 2008).
Review quote
"Altogether, Bashkin's book greatly enhances our understanding of the history of this vibrant and deep-rooted community, which flourished in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society for centuries: its contribution to modern Iraq, its cultural and intellectual achievements, and its global economic and trade exposure and success in Iraq and elsewhere in the diaspora. Her book is honest, well-balanced and well-documented, and she approaches her subject with an open, sympathetic mind." - Abbas Shiblak, Journal of Levantine Studies "Pluralism and Culture in Hashemite Iraq est a la fois un approfondissement de sa contribution a l'histoire intellectuelle de l'Irak contemporain - son champ de recherche d'origine - et une incursion dans une histoire specifique, celle des communautes juives du monde arabe, avant et apres la creation de l'Etat d'Israel." - Leyla Dakhili, Le Mouvement "This is a major contribution to the study of Iraqi Jews in modern times, shedding light on Jewish involvement in Iraqi intellectual and political life as part of the Iraqi nation until regional politics forced an abrupt breach and the annihilation of the community. The book is recommended for academic libraries with collections on Middle Eastern, Jewish and minorities' studies." - Rachel Simon, Association of Jewish Libraries "Bashkin recounts the last chapter in the history of the oldest Jewish Diaspora community in the Arab world, in Baghdad... Recommended." - M. Gershovich, CHOICE "New Babylonians is a meticulously researched and path-breaking treatment of a topic engaging several interlocking contested histories - Jews of Arab countries, the Arab-Israeli conflict, democracy and post-colonialism, and the Communist Parties of Iraq and Israel." - Joel Beinin, Middle East Journal

In this course, author Josh Harris demonstrates time-stretching techniques in four of the major digital audio workstations: Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Reason, and Ableton Live. Josh covers the basic time-stretching treatments, where minimal tempo adjustment is needed, and then moves into more difficult territory—remixing at a much slower or faster tempo than what the original tracks were recorded at—where time stretching is pushed to the extreme. Another technique shows how to create a composite vocal from multiple time-stretched tracks. Each lesson employs real-world musical examples to clearly show where each time-stretching technique is useful and how the results of time stretching affect the sound of a song.
Now it's time to dive in and edit our vocal in our new time signature of 4/4. Before we play the vocal, I will mute the snare drum, but I will unmute it later on once you've done more vocal editing. I'll unmute the vocal track and take a listen to where the first note of the first verse starts. (music playing) Right off the bat I can hear that the 6/8 phrasing doesn't just work against the 4/4 time signature.
So what we're going to need to do is go in and cut up each phrase and shove it over a little bit later, because we've essentially added a quarter note to our time signature. So before I even make my first edit point, I'm going to mute the vocal and sing where I feel the vocal should start. (music playing) Sorry to subject you all to my singing.
But it's more for a reference point of where the beat should fall. Let's play the vocal muted, and I'll keep my start point in my head of where I believe the vocal should land. (music playing) Right on 16/3. I zoom in on my clip and use my Command+E to make a slice, expand out, I want to make sure that I don't shift regions without grabbing all the regions. In other words, if I bring this over to the right, I need to make sure that I'm preserving my clip edits from pervious movies.
I'll Command+Z to restore everything back to normal. I'm highlighting everything from the start of the vocal to the end of the song. And I prefer to use this technique to move vocals around. Option+H brings up the Shift menu, and we know that we're going to move things for the most part 1 measure later. We'll start with a 1-bar denomination, and I just moved everything by 1 bar. So let's go back to 15, unmute the vocal, and take a listen.
(music playing) It still feels a little bit late. I'll highlight all of my clips, go up to Earlier and move it by 1 quarter note, go back to 15 and play it and take a listen. (music playing) So every phrase will most likely need to be shifted over at least 1 full measure.
But we're not going to just do that and not listen. Because some phrases may need two beats, three beats. We have to just figure out some sort of framework and then begin to shift the vocals over and then go in and fine-tune them if they're not accurate. I'll start by moving this over 1 measure, go back to 15. (music playing) I'll zoom in on my clip, we're at 22/4, zoom out.
So as you can see, there is a lot of zooming in and zooming out, grabbing all of your clips, moving things over by 1 measure, and starting there as a reference point, going back to 15. (music playing) Now this is an arbitrary decision. Just like the first line of the first verse, I could shift this over to the left, so it comes earlier by 1 quarter note.
Go back to measure 15 and see how this feels. (music playing) That feels a little too early to me. Let's go back to the way we had it, Command+Z, go back to 15. (music playing) We'll go with that.
Moving on to the next phrase, highlighting all of my clips, shifting over 1 full measure later, and we don't have to go back to 15, we'll start at measure 19. (music playing) Moving on to the next phrase. The reason that I'm bringing the playhead back several measures is that when you're doing something like this, you have to pre-roll the section far enough in advance so that you have an anchor of where you are.
If I just start the playhead 1 bar before my edit point, I'm not really going to feel where I am in the phrase. We think of these as 4-bar phrases. And if I don't give myself at least 4 to 8 bars of pre-roll to listen to the edit point that I just made, I might feel a little bit confused and actually not properly place the vocals. Now we made that edit. Now I'll start at measure 29. (music playing) That particular phrase could go either way. It could probably be shifted by a quarter note one way or the other.
But again, these are decisions that you might make further on down the road when you've actually got more of a track together. The goal with this movie is to simply show you how to go about editing a vocal that wasn't 6/8 time in 4/4 time and where you need to insert space into the phrase. Some of the final decisions of vocal placement won't occur until the track is substantially further along.

The Shortlist
The Shortlist for Feb. 7
Josh Duhamel Plays Coy on Fergie Baby Question
Ah, the art of evasiveness. At a premiere for his new film, "Safe Haven," Josh Duhamel was confronted with a question about the possibility that Fergie may be pregnant. Rather than ask directly whether the couple has a bun in the oven, an E! News reporter wondered aloud why "everybody is so obsessed" with the idea of Josh and Fergie becoming parents. At first, Julianne Hough offered to "save" her "Safe Haven" co-star from the baby issue, but he managed to dodge it pretty well all by himself, saying "I don't know." Pressed with a follow-up -- "No new news?" -- Josh reportedly smirked and said "No." But when the reporter added, "You said it will be your greatest career achievement, so we're waiting ..." the actor couldn't help but correct him. "Greatest life achievement," he said. And just like that, the rumor mill was back on full tilt. (HuffPo)

30 year old woman | Philadelphia, PA, USA | Seeking men 26-33 within 15 miles
But I don't want to be a cowboy.
So I have a friend who found love through this site, and asked her about helping with my profile on chat one day. And what do you know, the conversation pretty much wrote my profile for me: ME: Can't I just give you my match.com profile and you work your magic? FRIEND: hahahah, did I tell you I did that for someone once? ME: Did it go swimmingly? FRIEND: I made her profile in like 30 min while we were at brunch, but then thought to myself "the jig is going to be up when she starts responding to emails on her own..." hhahaa but I can give you pointers if you want ME: Doooo it FRIEND: What do you have so far (at this point I gave her my log in to review my profile) FRIEND: hahahah "but I don't want to be a cowboy" ME: Change whatever you think FRIEND: Well for starters, this is the first time I've gotten a straight answer about what you do at work ME: Hahahah I used to be witty but have no spunk left in me FRIEND: ugh I can't believe we're 28....yours is pretty brief, so i think there's room to add more info without telling your life story. You could also elaborate on what you're looking for in a guy. I feel like I should interview you... ME: Haha go for it FRIEND: You're usually involved in at least one adult sport league at any given time, right? ME: Yeah, three maybe four right now FRIEND: I remember my profile had a line in it like "ask me how my flag football and kickball seasons went last year. I'll give you a hint: it rhymes with Schmampions". ME: Hahaha put that in there FRIEND: What sports are you playing right now ME: Flag, two different kickball teams, and there was an email today about softball FRIEND: Ok. I think you should talk about how large your family is. That's noteworthy. How many nieces and nephews do you have, total? ME: 11. I might also mention something about coaching. Guys seem impressed with that. FRIEND: Yes, coaching swimming is good. You should put a line in there about how you're a "Trish of all seasons" because you like skiing during the winter and the beach during the summer hahaha ME: And I like kayaking and boating, but that might be kind of a stretch. Didn't I say something about being like Jim Carrrey in Yes Man? FRIEND: Ohhh yess. I didn't scroll down. You can delete everything else out of Favorite Things and just leave ketchup. ME: I put a cups worth on my tator tots last night and I thought this dude on my kickball team was going to vomit FRIEND: Hahah. you should also change the line about Yes Man to just "I usually never say no...WINK." ME: Eew. No. FRIEND: I was joking. I also think you should say something about going to Firefly and Made In America again this year ME: Top notch work Goose. FRIEND: I'm trying to remember what my headline was... ME: I feel like it was something about your crab walk... FRIEND: Oh no, I remember. It was that quote from the office - I had "I happen to like the hilarious hijinx I get myself into" - Michael Scott. And Me. ME: hahahah I miiiiight have used that. FRIEND: the cowboy one is going to be confusing for anyone who doesn't get that obscure Seinfeld reference. so what are you looking for in a fella? ME: Funny, tall, sporty, at least a Bachelors, social/drinker, goals that are aligned with mine, outdoorsy, TV watcher, sarcastic FRIEND: what kind of goals are you referring to? ME: Steady career, upward mobility. Not like "I'm only working in an office so I can save enough to quit my job and move to Buenos Aires". I've met so many weirdos who say that garbage. FRIEND: Ok, so we'll keep it vague with "similar values/interests". Let's throw in "ambitious". That's a good adjective. We should just copy and paste this convo as your profile. It'll be so innovative! ME: Yes, I love it.

Everybody knows my mother. Even if they've never met my mother, they know my mother. I could be at the American embassy in Moscow doing shots of vodka with an anti-propaganda documentarian from Siberia or scraping barnacles off the bottom of a Spinola Bay boat with a toothless lobsterman, and I will undoubtedly hear, "Please give your mother my love." The maid who cleans the First Lady's toilet knows my mom; the illegal Peruvian plumber knows my mom; the man who produced Charlie's Angels knew my mom. She is beloved by all gay men, who in my opinion constitute the world's most discerning judges of character. She is democratic and liberal, marched down Main Street for her beliefs, fought for civil rights, campaigned for all the Kennedy brothers, and managed to maintain democratic status in the Reagan White House. She has helped alcoholic friends get sober by walking them up and down the beaches of Cape Cod and played Monopoly on the carpet with financial tycoons. And won. She never wears makeup, but always has impeccably manicured toes. We have the exact same singular chin hair. She could invade Poland on a snorting white horse, but breaks into tears over a splinter. Her favorite lunch is sliced tomatoes on bread, deviled eggs, and iced tea. You can bribe her into anything if you can produce a hot fudge sundae. The only things my mother can cook are English muffins and crème caramel. She will choose a bath over a shower, a play over a movie, and the ocean over a pool. She has saved herself from intense pain in her life with strong, pulled-up bootstraps and terrifying organizational skills. She has the legs for tennis, the grace for skiing, and such high-arched eyebrows they could bring the Supreme Court to their knees.
My mother has Givenchy gowns she bought at a Saks sale (or for all I know, were created for her by Givenchy himself ) in the closet next to frayed evening jackets she excitedly scored at Goodwill. She doesn't believe in hedonism, loathes ostentation, and will buy boxed wine from Costco over Châteaux Margaux if it means more money for the Boston Museum. She didn't grow up in the age of private planes, Pilates instructors, and hiring Ke$ha to play at birthday parties. She finds the new world self-serving and indulgent. She constantly screams "Hello?" at her iPhone before hitting the answer button.
I have spent half my life rebelling against my upbringing, as most people do. If my mother had been a hooker, I'd be a Rhodes Scholar today. If my mother had been a Rhodes Scholar, I'd be a hooker. I was once asked by Playboy to show skin in an issue they were doing on funny women. The exciting thing for me was not that they thought it was even feasible to feature me naked in their august publication, but the exhilaration I would get from telling my mother.
"Playboy is offering me one hundred thousand dollars to pose naked," I announced gleefully. (It was actually more like ten thousand, but the money was irrelevant.)
There was one of her famous long pauses. "Well, I will pay you a hundred and ONE thousand dollars not to pose naked."
Of course, I never intended to even consider the offer, more for aesthetic reasons than out of any moral qualms: I knew what I looked like naked, and it wasn't going to sell many magazines. In any case, Phyllis Diller took my page.

When we first arrived, I was annoyed by all the people selling this timeshare crap, which we got caught up in, so, when I arrived at the Hotel, I was REALLY upset. I was greeted by Ismael and he was very nice and courteous, I appreciate him for putting up with me, but I just wanted to get to my room and relax. We followed up with Claudia, who was extremely helpful. We got stuck with the timeshare "thing" but at least she arranged for us to stay there at the hotel for the presentation vs. going somewhere else AND we got to still do the activities we were promised. DO NOT FALL FOR ANY OF THE TIMESHARE STUFF!! YOU WILL DO FINE WITHOUT IT!! The rooms are nice. The service was great. Location is perfect. I would go back. THANX AGAIN ISMAEL AND CLAUDIA!!! Come to San Diego and see me!!

Hot Sheet: Forget the Evil Queen, What About the Prince?
BY Advocate.com Editors
May 30 2014 3:48 PM ET
9. FILM: Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia "I must say, I know quite a lot of people underground here," says the late writer Gore Vidal, standing near his tombstone in the opening scene of Nicholas Wrathall's Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia. And indeed, the 89-minute film is a veritable Who's Who of American luminaries both living and dead — from Jacqueline Onassis and John F. Kennedy to actors Paul Newman and Tim Robbins to writers Truman Capote and Christopher Hitchens, who all numbered among the friends, colleagues, and occasional enemies of the late writer.
Vidal's privileged upbringing, intelligence, and access to the worlds of politics and entertainment make him an ideal narrator of not only his own story but also American history. Wrathall's captivating film combines recent one-on-one interviews with historical footage that traces Vidal's evolution from the young scion of a political dynasty to one of the foremost gay writers and political commentators of the past century, exploring his vibrant life, loves, and many passions in vivid detail. The documentary, produced by IFC Films, is now playing in select theaters nationwide, or you can find a festival screening near you here. — Sunnivie Brydum and Daniel Reynolds

..drama shmama... Conserve energy for things that really matter!
Hi and thank you for reading. A little about me... I just moved to the Front Range two years ago from Durango, CO where I had been living for the past 9 years. Incidentally, Durango is also my hometown. I hadn't lived there since I left for college. I feel so lucky to have been able to live there again and enjoy the community and my family but happy to move on. I'm in a place in my life where the following quote really rings true: "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you well, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." I love the outdoors and hope to find someone who does too. I like road biking in the summer and enjoy the hard workouts in a good spin class in the winter. I enjoy mountain biking as well as long as it's not a competition to see who passes out first. I love to downhill ski (have skied since I was 3!) and have done my share of x-country skate skiing. I also enjoy snowshoeing. I like fishing! Sea of Cortez or Lake Powell are my favs but would love to learn to be a better fly fisher. I have a great horse that I board at a nearby barn and ride about 3-4 times per week. Love to trail ride too. There's nothing better than a horse camping trip in the mountains! Love waking up to a cool mountain morning in the wilderness. I love football and have been a Broncos fan most of my life. Much more fun when they're winning, don't ya think? Ice hockey is becoming a sport of interest to me since moving to Denver. (Watching, not playing... I value my teeth too much!) Traveling is something I really enjoy ... learning about other countries by experiencing the culture and getting to know the local people. I go to Mexico at least once every year and I'd love to explore Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, India, Thailand, Belize and Cuba to name a few. I'd enjoy a bicycle tour (supported of course) through France with a little wine tasting on the way! Growing up in a family with a great sense of humor makes it a requirement in a relationship for me! I'm self-confident and am not afraid to speak up. I can also be very shy at times. I enjoy good intelligent conversation and a good laugh always! I revel in my femininity but can get grubby when the situation calls for it. I enjoy a nice evening out all dressed up once in a while. There's nothing like going on a date with a man who really knows how to enjoy a nice restaurant… maybe followed by an evening enjoying the arts, theater, ballet, a movie. Live music on a patio at sunset with a cold brew and friends is also a favorite. I would like to meet someone who enjoys some of the same things I do and can introduce me to some new things as well. I am not looking for a hook up or a "friend". I would love to find a man to share a long-term reciprocal relationship with. I have had so many experiences in life and they're so much more rich when shared with someone you care about.

I love hanging out by the fire in the evening after a long day, watching a good movie, going to see live professional musical theater or ballet, the quiet peacefulness being around horses brings, (as long as you're not being projectiled off of them)
Love skiing, trail running, cycling, camping, hiking, spending time outdoors, movies, laughing, cooking dinner together, sharing a bottle of wine with great food.

The proper strategy for a successful health inspection is to be ready for an inspection at any time. To stay ahead of the game, managers can conduct weekly, in-house inspections before health inspector arrives.
Now that you have prepared for the inspection, you need to know what to do when the health inspector arrives. Be warned that inspections usually arrive unannounced, so you'll want to be ready on any occasion, even during rush hours.

I don't want to rekindle this argument again but in my case at least, I wasn't arguing that 285's (SLI) were faster, merely that they aren't that far behind.
As you seem so intent on reminding us about the 5970's voltage and clocks, I'm sure you'll concede that 285 SLI is Nvidia's LAST generation and is almost 2 years old. It's fairly impressive that it keeps up with ATI's brand new flagship card.
Another thing, if you are going to do comparisons, at least use charts that have 285 SLI results in them and stop using theoreticals.
I know, you don't like G3D. The thing is that A : He does actually test 285 SLI and B: His test results are very similar to mine so I'm going to go with G3D and my own hands on experience. As you can clearly see in that test, the 5970 is faster, but not by much.
HAWX is the only game where I saw the 5970 over 15% faster in my own testing and I suspect that is driver related.
In conclusion, it is faster but for a new card, a ~10% performance increase is nothing to write home about and does not "leave GTX285 SLI in the dust even further".
I think it is you who has the red tinted glasses on
PS : You can overclock 285s as well, the fact of the matter is, the 5970 will be faster, just not by much.
It doesn't change the fact that the direct competition for a single 285 is a 5850....not the 5870 at all, not only that....the 5850 beats the 285 in just about every game out there...while costing less money.....and using less power. Big one here "costs less money" than nV's last generation, that they EOL'd instead of dropping prices to compete(because there just wasn't enough margin to drop pricing any further.) Hell the 4890 trades blows with the 285 and I've seen them for $200 bucks.
You wanna talk about Sli...talk about 5850 X-fire as competition, again...it will cost less, and use less power while returning better framerates. It will also support Eyefinity at extreme resolutions and DX11. I know you'll argue that the 5970 is essentially a 5850/5870 crossfire setup on a single card, which it is, and it's even less expensive than a 285 Sli setup making it an even better value.
If you're talking about people who already, at this point, own 285's...yeah they are still fast. I mean hell even an 8800GTX is gonna throw up decent numbers in most games with good quality setting, just not on the extremes.
If someone currently has a 285 SLi setup...then I see no need to upgrade to anything either nV or ATi at this point...and I wouldn't recommend it until such time as DX11 is more in the mainstream swing of things.
I jumped on the bandwagon upgrading from a 4870 to a 5850 and honestly....it was money well wasted. If I hadn't had a sale for my entire other system, I'd have been pretty damn disappointed because my 18 month old 4870 1gb played every game that I have.....on high settings with decent frames. Hell I even played thru Crysis DX10 with 2xAA....

Today the Tampa City Council approved a new Noise Ordinance designed primarily to bring down the noise in Ybor City.
Under the new law, establishments that exceed the legal noise limits will initially receive a warning. But a 2nd violation brings serious consequences ââ¬â a misdemeanor citation, and a possible $500 fine, 60 days in jail or six months of probation.
The Ordinance passed despite the complaints from those who came before the Council, such as Attorney Jennifer Dââ¬â¢Angelo , who represents several busineses in the historic district . She warned that a penalty provision in the new ordinance would have a difficult time in Court (roll tape#1 o.q.ââ¬?
"You're going to have to show that someone in a responsible relationship permit, suffered or allowed these violations to occur. And you're going to have a hard time doing that when you can't decide if it's the band that's doing it, if it's the manager that's allowing it, if it's the DJ or whoever. Um, and I think that's why it might be helpful to revisit this and maybe allow TPD or code enforcement to work with these clubs on an non-hours basis."
non hours basisâ�)
The decibel levels themselves are not being altered ââ¬â simply the enforcement of them. The maximum noise level in Ybor City would remain at 85 decibels from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. Bass tones would be measured and limited to 87 decibels.
Carmine Iavarone runs Carmineââ¬â¢s on 7th avenue. He said the Ordinance is incomplete, and the penalties are too onerous. (roll tape#2 o.q.ââ¬?a good business thereââ¬?)
"There are some nights that you can play the music loud, I believe, like Gasparilla, or Year's Eve or Guavaween. I mean, why is it okay on those nights? It's sending a mixed message to the people, to our customers. We want to be good neighbors. We want it to be good in Ybor City. We have a Good business there. "
Tampa Police have been asking that the Council increase the penalties for noise violators in Ybor for years now. Upon hearing Iavaroneââ¬â¢s complaints, City Councilman Sean Harrison suggested he come up with concrete improvements, or move on (roll tape#3 o.q.ââ¬?itââ¬â¢s going to kill usââ¬?)
"I think it would be very helpful, if, the speakers who wanted us to not pass this would rather than simply coming up and saying this is bad, you need to re-think it -- have you considered X,Y and Z? -- that there are specific recommendations to make it better, as opposed to what we're hearing which is what we hear everytime we bring this issue up: and that is simply we don't like it, you're going to run us out of business or it's going to kill us."
Two weeks ago, Rose Ferlita was the only Councilmember who voted against the proposed Ordinance when it appeared for 1st Reading , saying it was targeting just the bar industry. But at the meeting she said it was important that the Council not delay in acting on maintaining the Noise level, and stressed that the situation would improve if business owners self-governed the noise eminating from their establishments.
Ferlita also was critical that there are currently only 2 Noise Monitors used by the entire Tampa Police Department (roll tape#4 O.Q.ââ¬? Thatââ¬â¢s crazyââ¬?)
"That's nonsense. That's like, you know, having a gun with no bullets because we don't have enough equipment. We have to have more devices for them to be able to do this on a regular basis, on an irregular basis or on an unsuspecting time or on an unsuspecting schedule, but that's the first thing. We're talking about tightening up enforcement. they don't even have the equipment to do it. Which is crazy."
Later on a representative from the Police Department said that those Noise Monitors cost $5,000 a piece, but the Department would be requesting more in the next budget.
Citizen Jennifer Meadows was critical for what is NOT included in the proposed Ordinance. Her longstanding beef is with a business located near her home which cannot be regulated, because of an exception in current City code for busses, trains, ships and trucks in good repair (roll tape#5 o.q.â�unimpeded by the lawâ�)
"What is the intent of that excemption? If the intent is to permit the operation of those vehicles on the appropriate roadways, railways, waterways and airways, then please clarify this and close that loophole. Otherwise, explain to me why Ybor nightclub owners and other individuals in Tampa are compelled to comply, but a business such as the one in our neighborhood can continue to violate its residential neighbors' right to peace and quiet, with, you know unimpeded by the law."
City of Tampaââ¬â¢s Municipal Prosecutor David Shobe said the loophole was established because trucks in good repair are an interstate commerce issue. ..He said the issue could only be resolved thru a zoning ordinance (roll tape#6 o.q.ââ¬? zoning issueââ¬?)
"She indicates there are yard tractors that are used, there are trucks that are coming and going. Unfortunately this is not a situation the city can exactly regulate -- at least not under noise. If we were to address it the proper way to address it would be as a zoning issue."
The Council said they would try to address Meadows particular issue at a different time.
But according to Councilwoman Ferlita, who ultimately joined her fellow council members in unanimously approving the Ordinance, that particular problem illustrated why the proposed law still isnââ¬â¢t comprehensive enough in addressing complaints about noise throughout Tampa (roll tape#7 o.q.ââ¬? type of Noise Ordinanceââ¬?)
"While we're trying to get some relief for noise ordinance issues down there in Ybor, we're over looking things that are effecting the quality of life for people like Miss Meadows. We have to take care of everything that's going on, not just a particular sector, not a particular portion of town, not a particular type of noice ordinance."
The Cityââ¬â¢s Legal Department is also currently working on a proposal to present to the City Council that could give them the power to suspend licenses of wayward owners.comments powered by Disqus

go in there with ada and see if they are complaining with hadicap regulations ie. wheel chair ramps and hadicap restrooms & parking. If no get a client that is hadicap as such to want to enjoy hi or herself ant the establlishment & bring a lawsuite--I started to go shoot pool ant a bar which is a sactioned APA event--the music is loun & I am already hearing impaired if they do not turn it downupon my reasonabole reques I will try to get the APA-American Pool Associatio to withdraw them from having events there. If that dosen't work then the above ADA might be my only resolutio. I don't mind if they would only turn it down for the time I am in there.

Festive Nails Ideas with China Glaze
Hi everyone!
It's almost Christmas and I wanted to say Merry Xmas to you all, I hope you'll have joyful festive days 😀
In this post I show you two nails ideas I find perfect for Christmas Eve and for Holiday time. Both of them feature China Glaze nail polish: Luxe and Lush from Hunger Games collection and Glistening Snow* from Holiday 2012 collection.
Luxe and Lush is a really dense nail polish, a transparent base full of gold flakles with a sort of green and bronze duochrome. Here you see it over Chanel Rouge Noir; gold and burgundy is a Christmas' classic, isn't it?
Glistening Snow* is a silvery glitters galore, with a multi-coloured duochrome effect. The same effect when you see snow under the sun! It has a really good coverage, here you can see it applied with two coats.
4 Responses to "Festive Nails Ideas with China Glaze"
I love Glistening Snow, that is beautiful! I don't have any China Glaze polishes, I might have to invest!
They're quite good, they last on me for about 5 days without topcoat
Luxe & lush me lo sono comprata oggi su beutybay dopo una ricerca infinita o/ Sono troppo contenta, lo volevo tanto.
Non ho niente del genere nella mia collezione, ma avevo in mente di usarlo in una nail art con i fiocchi di neve *__*
@bea_ichigo hai fatto benone! è proprio bellino, solo un po' denso per cui bisogna fare un po' di attenzione a stenderlo in modo uniforme.
Spero di vedere la nail art sul blog presto *__*

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 12reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Skotty These tires came on the truck from the factory. Living in the south I can't rate these tires on snow and ice every well. I have around 48k on my p/u now and these tires are almost ready to be replaced.. I tried to rotate these tires as best as I could but due to Dodge's factory, alcoa aluminum rims it is hard to do so. The rims in the back are aluminum on the outside (truck is a DRW, long bed). And steel on the inside. The aluminum firms are polished on one side only so "flipping" from one side to the other is all I could do. Unless you dismount the tires and remount so the polished side stays on the outside.. (the front and rear do not interchange).I got decent service out of them though my rotation was hardly done at all. I did have to balance them about every 10k. One tire would never stay balanced. It lasted only about 30k and I was forced to pull the spare out from under the bed.I would love to have gotten 70k out of them but in my configuration there is no way the tire could take being dismounted and remounted a dozen or so times.. Not to mention the cost of doing 6 or 7 tires.If your Ram is like mine I expect my milage will be about all one can get out of a set that was not rotated much. October 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by hogger good tire, priced right good tire, priced right. i like the tire buyer program and service. would do business again in future. October 5, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by Psychroman1 Excellent wear Original tires. I probably did not check tire pressure as much as I should. Rotated tires twice, maybe three times most. Usually try to keep air pressure at 32-34. Last week the tires had 89,000 miles, I pumped up the rear tires to about 42. Put 1200 lbs of stone in the bed and went home. Tires have had even wear. Not the best in deep snow. My Accord can go places the F150 could not. June 18, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by sarahsp1 VERY GOOD This brand came ON the vehicle from the factory as vehicle was purchased NEW and was one of the front tires. Vehicle abruptly started vibrating/shaking at low speed one day when wife was driving it. Turned out to be due to steel belt separation or DEFECT involving the mid portion of the tire tread area, which visibly was noticeable as tire was out of ROUND. Road side assist stated tire was factory defective...but still holding air. It also had significant tread life left on it, as do the other 5 original tires on the vehicle currently. Checked with Dodge Dealership where truck was purchased new...and they advised I take it to a General Tire Dealer for replacement and pro-rated credit based on tread life remaining. Problem was, could not locate any GENERAL TIRE dealer local to me, to take the tire to for inspection?? If you have any suggestions in this regard, since I still have the defective tire, please advise.I had replaced the bad tire with the spare (which was new), in order to match the two front tires (same brand), I was able find a match through Tirebuyer.com. When the time comes to need to replace "ALL" six tires since truck is a dually, am not likely to purchase General Tire Brand. Never had a problem like this with a defective tire before, and the lack of accessibility and availability of General Tire Service in my area is a real problem. Would be interested in replacing the defective tire with a new one...if I could receive a reasonable credit accordingly. Any advise in this regard would be appreciated. Could this be done through TireBuyer.com somehow? November 11, 2011

Rated 5 out of 5 by vermonter Good tire and super fast delivery. This is a good company to do business with. I ordered 1 tire and within 2 days it was sitting on my front porch.

I would recommend this comany to anyone. September 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by wayne great tires I have 52000 miles on these tires and they handle great, there is still tread left and they are quiet, I am really impressed. I drive a 1-ton pickup that always has weight on it and I usually pull a trailer. January 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Burr Great Service I bought these to replace two OEM's. They wear about right getting about 50,000 miles out of them. I live in snow country so like a little more tread going inoto the winter. Could probably get 10,000 more mires out of them if I lived in the south. June 7, 2012

Brace yourselves, 'X-Philes': Mulder and Scully are back. These small-screen sci-fi stars are probing the paranormal on the silver screen in The X-Files: I Want to Believe, opening in theaters today. Now is as good a time as any to seek a paranormal experience of your own. Jeff Belanger, author and explorer of the unexplained, shares his list of favorite supernatural places.
Gifford Pinchot National Forest Skamania County, Wash.
If large, hairy, apelike creatures are your thing, head to the Pacific Northwest. The highest frequency of sightings occurs in this area of southern Washington. "Some witnesses report hearing a large creature plodding through the forest; others actually see an animal and know it's not like anything else they've ever encountered in the woods," Belanger says. 800-989-9178; skamania.org
The Witch House Salem, Mass.
Vacationers flock to this town, which gained notoriety in 1692 for trying and hanging suspected witches — or those who had fits or acted outside of the Puritans' traditional beliefs. "Witchcraft is part of the very fiber of the village, from the witch-riding-a-broomstick logo on the police department vehicles to the many shops in town where you can purchase your own spell-casting roots, herbs and crystals, or have one of the local witches cast a spell for you," Belanger says. 877-725-3662; salem.org
Lake Champlain Vermont/New York/Quebec
Loch Ness in Scotland isn't the only body of water said to hold a prehistoric monster, Belanger says. "Lake Champlain, which shares its borders with Vermont, New York and Quebec, is rumored to be home to 'Champ,' perhaps a plesiosaur that escaped extinction, or maybe some other kind of uncategorized freshwater giant." 877-686-5253; vermont.org
RMS Queen Mary Long Beach, Calif.
The RMS Queen Mary, one of the last great transatlantic ocean liners, also was a World War II troop ship. "During the ship's service in the Indian Ocean, many soldiers died from the overheating of the lower decks, some POWs committed suicide onboard, and then there were the accidents that happened to the passengers and crew over the years," Belanger says. "After 1,001 Atlantic crossings, the ship pulled into Long Beach harbor, where it has become a permanent and haunted attraction. Ghostly reports abound all over the ship, but the engine room and former second-class swimming pool areas are the most active." 562-435-3511; queenmary.com
Pirates House Savannah, Ga.
Kill two birds with one stone and enjoy a meal or a glass of grog during your ghost-hunting. Diners at the Pirates House, a tavern built in 1753, claim ghosts of the seafaring bandits still lurk around the premises. "Most prominent is the legend of a blue-faced drunkard of a pirate who died while staying at the inn and calling for more rum until his last breath," Belanger says. 912-233-5757; thepirateshouse.com
Roswell, N.M.
If it?s extraterrestrial experiences you?re looking for, alien aficionados from around the world will point to Roswell, Belanger says. Ever since an unidentified object fell from the sky here in July 1947, sparking a debate between the Army and area residents about whether it was a weather balloon or a flying disk, conspiracy theories have evolved at warp speed. 877-849-7679; roswellnm.org

My opinion:
1) Superman
He is most likely the most powerful hero on the planet in terms of strength. He is an inspiration. And he is smart. He has one of the most diverse ranges of powers of any superhero. He's got strength, speed, flight, heat vision, ice breath, super hearing, telescopic vision, and microscopic vision.
2) Green Lantern
He is most likely the best energy manipulator on the planet, as well as best flier. He has an intergalactic force for support. He has extensive knowledge of extraterrestrial beings. He can breathe in any atmosphere or without one. He can speak effectively any language. And he has psychic defenses.
3) Cyborg
He is the most useful character in the world in terms of information gathering. The government tries not to store sensitive information on computers because he WILL be able to access that data. He is effectively a technopath. And he can teleport!
4) Flash
He is possibly the fastest being in the universe, he is a great investigator, he can time travel, he can almost predict the future, he can go intangible and he has insane reaction speed!
What are your thoughts?

Lubit said that investment bankers, in particular, are known for working hundred-hour weeks and spending little time at home.
"You've had these people who've worked incredibly hard hours and made tremendous sacrifices who no longer have money," he said
In the eyes of their families, he said, often their primary role is to be the "economic provider" rather than caregivers, Lubit said.
If their ability to support their families declines, tension could ensue, especially if a family is forced to make adjustments – moving to a smaller home, for instance – to accommodate their new financial straits, he said.
"There will be drastic changes in their lifestyle, which could cause tremendous problems in their home lives," Lubit said.
But Lubit also said there is light at the end of the tunnel for Lehman employees who eventually find themselves without work.
"For those who can say, 'Wait a minute, what are my skills, what can I do? Let me talk about my options and my skills,'" he said, "Many of them may develop much more fulfilling lives."
Ryding agreed.
Ryding was laid off from Bear Stearns but said he's satisfied with life today. He and a former Bear Stearns colleague founded the research firm RDQ Economics.
"We're now in a position where our fate is dependent upon only what we do," he said, "and we're not at the mercy of things beyond our control."

Final Score: Fresno State 42, Wyoming 14
Fresno, CA (Sports Network) - Derek Carr threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns as he helped guide the Fresno State Bulldogs to a comfortable 42-14 win over the Wyoming Cowboys in Mountain West Conference play at Bulldog Stadium.
Carr converted 32-of-48 passes and was sacked twice as the Bulldogs (5-3, 3-1 MWC) posted their third win in the last four outings and surpassed their entire win total from last season.
The Cowboys (1-6, 0-3), losers of three in a row, were paced by Brett Smith who returned to action and hit on 18-of-38 passes for 158 yards, a pair of touchdowns and an interception.
Fresno State had the game well under control in the first half, leading 35-0 at the break thanks in part to Rashad Evans who caught a six-yard TD pass to get the ball rolling and then returned a punt 78 yards for a TD later in the first quarter.
Carr combined with Victor Dean on a 19-yard TD pass play late in the opening frame, followed by a 14-yard TD run by Isaiah Burse moments into the second period. Capping off a 17-play, 92-yard drive to essentially close out the first half, Carr hit Davante Adams with an 11-yard scoring pass to give the hosts a commanding advantage at the break.
Putting together a lengthy drive of their own near the end of the third quarter, the Pokes were directed 92 yards on 11 plays by Smith who eventually locked up with Riley Lange on a six-yard TD pass play to finally put the visitors on the scoreboard.
Midway through the fourth, the FSU defense came to life as Phillip Thomas picked off his seventh pass of the season and returned it 20 yards for his third TD of the campaign, boosting the Bulldogs lead back to 35 points.
On the ensuing drive, Smith orchestrated a 13-play, 74-yard march that ended with a six-yard TD pass to Dominic Rufran, but at that stage it was too little, too late.
Already tied for the most interceptions in a season in the MWC, Thomas has set a new school record with his three INT returns for scores and the Bulldogs now have a total of five such efforts which is also a new school record.

I checked other models (higher one) but the XFX was so cheap now, I decided to go for that one as the nv300 won't be out this year and 275, 285 and 295 don't seem to be worth the money.
So far, I love it. I made my PC a silent one and this card is dead silent at 40% fan speed (idle or desktop) and using Rivatuner to control the fan/temperature. Playing WoW few hours never got me above 60% fan (audible, but not much) and I am playing 1920x1200 at 8AA 16Ani all options maxed. Fully stable.
Almost an overkill for WoW except that I like to play with all options maxed out

Seek Thoughts
Similar to detect thoughts, seek thoughts allows you to sift through the surface thoughts of those around you. You may scan for either the answer to a simple question (such as "Where is the hidden lair of the wererats?") or for information on a general topic (such as the beliefs of an evil cult). You detect the number of creatures who are thinking about this question or topic within range, as well as their location if they are visible to you. Seek thoughts does not let you read actual surface thoughts, only if a given creature is thinking about the topic you are concentrating on. A successful Will save prevents you from sensing a creature's thoughts for the duration of the spell.
You can maintain concentration on seek thoughts while you engage in normal conversation, allowing you to ask leading questions about topics of interest. A creature conversing with you while you concentrate can notice that you are distracted with a successful DC 25 Sense Motive check.
