Candidates for May primary set
The filing period for the May primary election has closed, with the sheriff's race being the most crowded field. Six Democrats are vying for the position.
Larry D. Faucette, Buddy Parker, Andy Cagle, Keith Webster, David Caldwell Jr. and Charles Blackwood all are hoping to replace longtime Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass.
Three Democratic candidates are running for the county's Register of Deeds. Deborah B. Brooks is the incumbent, and will be facing Sara Stephens and former Carrboro Mayor Mark H. Chilton.
County Commissioner at-large Barry Jacobs faces challenger Bonnie Hauser in the primary.
Commissioners seats for Districts 1 and 2 also are up for re-election. District 2 Democratic incumbent Earl McKee faces Mark Marcoplos. In District 1, Democrat Mia Day Burroughs and Republican Gary Kahn both filed.
In the nonpartisan Orange County Board of Education race, four seats are up for grabs. School board members Donna D. Coffey and Brenda Stephens are hoping to remain on the board while Rosa D. Williams, Tom Carr, Greg Andrews and Michael H. Hood want the opportunity to fill one of the available seats.
Running unopposed in the primary are state Senate District 23 Democratic candidate Valerie Foushee and Republican candidate Mary Lopez-Carter. Foushee was appointed to the seat in 2013 after Ellie Kinnaird resigned.
Newly appointed Democrat Graig Meyer is on the ballot for the District 50 seat. Republicans Rod Chaney and W. Lewis Hannah Jr. will face each other in the primary.
Incumbent Democrat Verla Insko is running again for the District 56 seat. Republican David Pratt Carter is running uncontested for the seat in the primary.
James C. Standford in the incumbent and only candidate for the county's Clerk of Court.
A special election is being held for the Carrboro Aldermen. Bethany Chaney, Theresa Watson and Talal Asad have all thrown their hats in the ring for the Board of Aldermen seat.
The primary will be held from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. May 6. The General Election is Nov. 4.

Poverty is hard to grasp. Living amongst plenty, those seven letters (p-o-v-e-r-t-y) can be like abstract little bubbles floating in the air, not tethered down to anything real or concrete.
Have you ever experienced something here in the States that really made you get it?
Several months ago here at Compassion, we had a speaker at our weekly chapel. He had a pitcher full of 30,000 bbs. He told us about how 30,000 children under 5 die each day of preventable causes. Now, I'm no stranger to numbers. I could rattle off the numbers of poverty till your eyes cross.
But this speaker slowly poured 30,000 bbs into a metal basin as we sat and listened. Each ping that represented a life was like getting stuck by a pin. And they kept coming and coming and coming. Just as you thought there surely couldn't be any more, that he must be nearing the end of the bbs, they just kept pouring. Ping. Ping. Ping. Ping.
And for all my knowledge of numbers, this left me undone. God used the experience to break through my heart's armor of cold, sterile numbers to soften it to the reality of human suffering.
I wrote Hope Lives with a prayer that God would use it to soften others' hearts toward what he cares about so deeply. Now I'm writing a follow-up to this book that will help small groups experience and pray for the needs in this world.
So I need your help! Have you experienced something at your church or with your youth group or with your family that really helped you empathize with those in need or understand what poverty means? For example, I know of some families who have tried to eat for one day spending just $1, the amount millions of families around the world live on each day. I know another Compassion employee who used this photo as the artwork over his dining room table.
What great ideas do you have that you would like to share? How did your experience effect you?
Fine print: OK, my publisher said I need to include this here: By sharing your idea, you're giving me permission to use this idea in publication without any form of compensation, other than my deepest gratitude and eternal friendship.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
Regarding the laudable pieces last week by Peter Oliver and Mal Simon, of course, right-wingers will denigrate Vermont. They know right well that Vermont's electoral votes will go to President Obama, barring some unforeseen catastrophe. Wish we had more electoral votes.
Then there is the matter of our revered Senator Sanders. The ideal form of democracy is one with enough in the way of social programs so there is a safety net under everyone for food, shelter, health care and educational opportunity and enough capitalism for personal incentive (that does not mean millionaires and billionaires should be able to buy elections). Obviously, this scenario is easier said than done but we should be moving in that direction. Right-wing Republicans cynically want to go back to the days of the robber barons.
Interesting footnote here. A large percentage of the Republican base consists of right-wing fundamentalist creationist so-called "Christians." More about that in a future indictment. If one reads the New Testament with any degree of discernment and intelligence, they would, of necessity, realize that the early Christians were and indeed Christ himself was a socialist. But of course our fundamentalist brothers and sisters are in severe psychological denial about that, just as they misinterpret the Old Testament to the point that they are not in touch with reality.
I originally did not want to be a part of recriminations between the parties, but seeing what this current batch of malevolent Republicans have become, I am bound to speak. After causing this recession and seeing millions of their victims lose their jobs and homes, they then mock those who need relief and food stamps. They are still doing so. Then they turn around and attempt to blame the president. It takes 10 years to recover from a recession of this magnitude especially with an accompanying housing collapse. President Obama is ahead of schedule on that in spite of Republican obstruction. But then, Republicans have already admitted that they will take no heed of fact checking, as witness Governor Romney's disgusting attack on the president in the midst of the crises in the Middle East.
Right-wing Republicans have made no secret of the fact that they seek total control of the government. In right-wing parlance there is a name for that type of government. Can you guess what it is?
The media war between MSNBC and Fox news is a microcosm of the two- party situation. MSNBC is biased. They are slanted. No question about it. But they admit it! Fox News, on the other hand, claims to be "fair and balanced." That's a hoot. As a generalization only, MSNBC watchers tend to be a bit better educated and more intelligent. We can usually spot it when MSNBC slips in the "hype." Except for the Zombie-like viewers of Fox, I wonder if Fox News knows that they are being universally laughed at with scorn and derision? Only thing worse is the abhorrent Rush Limbaugh. Yet Fox News retains high ratings. This is yet another example of the dumbing down of America.
A third party would be a good idea. All they need is a candidate with the charisma of Bill Clinton.
Yes, both parties slant the truth and lie. But then there are liars and damned liars.
Lusen lives in Warren.

Grease Compatibility
Presenter: Heinrich (Henri) Braun, Global Grease Team Lead, ExxonMobil
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Friday, December 14, 2012 at 12-1:00 p.m., with optional Q&A from 1-1:30 p.m. (was previously scheduled for 12/12)
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
This event has been held. You can purchase the archived recording with the link below. You must log in to obtain correct pricing and complete the purchase.
Grease compatibility is an important consideration when converting from one grease to another. Mixing incompatible greases can produce a lubricant with significantly inferior performance to its constituents, and thus have a negative effect on the ability of the grease mix to perform in the application. This webinar will address grease compatibility based on grease constituents, common observations when mixing incompatible greases, as well as some best practices of grease compatibility testing.
Henri Braun was born and raised in Cologne, Germany. He served in the German Navy, and then went on to study chemistry at Cologne University, receiving his PhD. After college, he joined Esso Lubricants in the R&D and Technical Service Laboratory in Hamburg, Germany. Since 1987, he has worked for Exxon, Exxon Chemical and ExxonMobil in a variety of assignments and functions in Germany, UK, Belgium and the U.S. He is currently working as the Grease Technology Manager in Fairfax, Virginia.

VIDEO: Inhabitat Interviews Henrik Fisker, Founder of Fisker Automotive and Designer of the Karma
Car designer and entrepreneur Henrik Fisker made his name in the car industry designing the highest of the high-end luxury cars for BMW and Aston Martin. After making waves in the auto industry with vehicles such as the Aston Martin DB9, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and BMW Z8, he decided to break away from this corner of the auto world imbued with tradition and start his own company, Fisker Automotive. Fisker's first vehicle to hit the road has been the Karma, an impressively green, extended range electric vehicle with so many curves, your eyes are already driving it before you've even gotten behind the wheel. Coming in as loud and clear as the Karma's sex appeal, Henrik Fisker is on a mission to make green cars cool. We recently had a chance to talk to him about how he's risen to the top of the electric vehicle pack, and where he plans on taking his cars from there.
Fisker Automotive was founded by Fisker and Bernhard Koehler in 2007 and the Fisker Karma was the first car they brought to the market. The vehicle was just awarded an impressive rating of 112 mpg by the European rating agency Technischer Üeberwachungs Verein (TÜV). The car has an all-electric range of up to 50 miles after which a gasoline generator kicks in to run the engine and drives the car another 250 miles. The Karma has a Nanophosphate Lithium-ion Battery pack that charges in 6-14 hours — depending on the type of charger you are using — and has a solar paneled roof that provides energy to drive the car an additional 200 miles annually. The car uses regenerative breaking and is painted with a special diamond dust paint that uses recycled glass elements and releases no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment.
In addition the car packs 403 horsepower under the hood, can go from 0 to 60 in 6.3 seconds and tops out at 125 miles an hour. We caught up with Mr. Fisker at the Global Green Sustainable Design Awards where he was receiving the Corporate Design Award for his work on electric vehicles at Fisker Automotive. He was happy to be getting the award and noted that, "for us, to be part of this event is just really to create more awareness that environmental products can actually be really cool." We'd have to second that notion, Fisker Automotive might just have one of the coolest green products in our book.
INHABITAT: You're well known for being a car designer for many years for a lot of the top brands in automotive. What inspired you to go off and start your own company?
Henrik: I always thought about what are we going to be driving in the future. Now, when I saw Leonardo DiCaprio drive, obviously, to the Oscars in a Prius, I thought here's a guy who can buy any car he wants, but he wants to make a statement. And I thought there's got to be a market for good looking, desirable, green cars. So when I saw this kind of opportunity to get into this market with this powertrain that we have, which is essentially an electric vehicle, but with a range extender, I saw that it was the first time we could offer no compromise to the consumer, but also really get out there a beautiful green car, because obviously, my background is car design, so I thought it was the perfect mix.
INHABITAT: So, Leonardo DiCaprio was actually one of your first customers. That must feel really great.
Henrik: It feels great. You know, he's a great ambassador for the environment. I think he is really passionate about it. He has obviously shown it in many things that he has contributed to and to have him drive the car and be a support for the company is fantastic. I couldn't have asked for better.
INHABITAT: So your background is in design and now you're a CEO. How does that feel making that transition?
Henrik: I think the advantage we have at Fisker Automotive is that I have a design background, because I'm very involved in the product creation and the design, obviously, of the vehicle. Becoming, obviously, the CEO really means you're just involved in everything that goes on in the company and you start understanding all of the aspects of the company. And I think understanding the product fundamentally really means that everybody in the company is inspired, because they see that the lead in the company understands the product — that's very important in the car industry.

For the second consecutive year, the Lady Husky cross country team took home the Mountain Valley Conference Championship. Ashe's top seven runners finished before any of its competitors had four runners finish the race.
Throughout the race, the ladies ran in a single pack, led by Mac Church, who was consistently Ashe's highest finishing runner each meet this season.
"It was a very close race, so without each of these girls holding their spot in the race just as they did, we would not have won," said head coach Marybeth Greene.
Church finished in fifth place overall, followed by Tyler Eller in 15th, Victoria Reed in 16th, Chrissy Simmons in 17th, Alexis Armstrong in 18th and Chelsea Eller in 20th.
Caroline Trent was the seventh runner for Ashe as she took 23rd place. The freshman, who is new to this type of event, has made great gains all season according to her coach.
"We really needed all seven girls to win," added Coach Greene.
"I told the girls in a meeting before the race, 'you are good enough to be the champions if you run like it and you want to win, you will win.' They wanted to, and it showed. I'm very proud of them."
On the men's side, the race was tight throughout, and Ashe ended up with a fifth place finish.
"We did not have any runners placing in the single digits, and it hurt us," said Coach Greene. "However, our boys ran very well, all of them improving their time on this course by a lot."
The men were led by two freshmen runners, Andrew Tedder and Gareth Berry. Tedder finished in 11th place while Berry took home 19th. Senior Jonathan Nichols finished in 20th place.

Steam Cleaning

The power of steam is renowned for its cleaning benefits and the choices of steam cleaners are many. From handheld, mop, cylinder – the types of steam cleaning systems are many. They come with a 900 - 1500 watt range and operate on a simple principle, ordinary tap water is heated to a germ-blasting vapor of close to 100ºC (212ºF).

NEW YORK, NY and Raleigh, NC – August 25, 2010-- Inc. magazine today ranked ShareFile number 104 on its 29th annual Inc. 500, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America's independent-minded entrepreneurs. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, GoDaddy, Zipcar, Clif Bar, American Apparel, Oracle, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500.
"Fast growth at any time is a big achievement; fast growth during the past few years is just short of miraculous," said Inc. Editor Jane Berentson. "The Inc. 500 consists of these just-short-of miraculous companies, the ones that through ingenuity and ambition have increased revenue, hired employees, and grown fast in difficult economic times."
ShareFile, a leading provider of secure file transfer and full-featured Virtual Data Room solutions that allow companies to exchange large and/or confidential business files, was founded in 2005 by Duke Alum and self-taught software programmer Jesse Lipson, and has quietly amassed more than 11,000 corporate customers totaling 1.5 million users in 120 countries (including many Fortune 500 companies) in less than five years by providing a simple and secure alternative to FTP for large file transfers.
The 2010 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of Inc. magazine (available on newsstands August 24 to November 16 and on Inc.com), is a group of companies that are smaller but much faster-growing than last year's crop. Aggregate revenue is $11.3 billion - down from last year's $18.4 billion - but median three-year growth is 1,231 percent, substantially up from last year's 880.5 percent. The companies on this year's list employ more than 45,000 people. Complete results of the Inc. 500, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at Inc.com/500.
Despite the ongoing recession, the 2010 Inc. 500 offers a glimpse of the future of the U.S. economy. In the health sector, which saw aggregate revenue of $1.1 billion and a 917 percent median growth rate, businesses are moving forward on cancer and stem-cell research, clinical trials, and medication management. More than 25 percent of companies in the energy sector ($2.5 billion aggregate revenue; 942 percent median growth rate) focus on solar and other alternative sources. Fewer than a third of retailers ($356 million aggregate revenue; 914 percent median growth rate) have even a single brick-and-mortar store. And the number of companies providing technical services to the various branches of the federal government continues to rise.
The 2010 Inc. 500 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2006 to 2009. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by June 30, 2006. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent - not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies - as of December 31, 2009. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2006 is $80,000; the minimum for 2009 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. The companies of the Inc. 500 represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at www.inc.com/500.

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
UTICA, NY – Hilbert College played to a 2-1 half time score, but saw their close game stretch to a 6-1 loss to SUNYIT in women's lacrosse April 7.
Caitlyn Jacobs took a Shannon Campbell pass and beat the Wildcat goalie with eleven minutes remaining in the first half to put the Hawks on the score board.
SUNYIT hit their third score at 24:48 to go in the second half to take a 3-1 lead, but when they hit back-to-back tallies with less than thirty seconds clicking off the game clock (at the 8th minute) , they seemed to take ownership of the victory.
Statistically, it was a very close game. Hilbert earned 12 clears, but SUNYIT just barely beat the Hawks in all other categories. The Wildcats held a 1 shot, 1 save, 2 ground balls, and 2 draw-controls advantage over the visitors from Hamburg. Hilbert went 0-4 on their free-position shots where SUNYIT was 2 of 5.
Sarah Lorusso led the Hawks with 3 draw-controls, 4 ground balls but was shut-out on her 9 shots. Nicole Blair was credited with 3 ground balls. Meghan Stewart finished with 7 saves on the day.
Hilbert has to wait until April 13 before they play their next game. They will host Franciscan University at 12 pm on Hilbert's varsity playing field.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Curling Pants
Although you won't usually confuse curling pants with the latest in high fashion, you know that they are essential to participating and enjoying a good game of curling. Nothing can end a game sooner than the players freezing while out on the ice. With ice surfaces usually several degrees below freezing, you have to wear clothing that will keep you warm and comfortable enough to enjoy the sport, sometimes through several games.
In order for curling pants to do the job they are meant to do, you should remember to look for specific qualities:
- Pants made of slightly stretchy fabric so that they can move when you do
- Curling pants that are lightweight yet warm
- Pants that are made slightly larger in the waist, since you tend to bend over a great deal.

I'm very sad I missed out on this. I can't wait for the general public to be able it get it. I'm glad they have a plan for iPhone 5 too.
Elevation Dock for iPhone review
The Elevation Dock is the dock that Apple should have made in the first place, and it's amazing they still haven't made it.
After freeing my iPhone from its little cardboard prison, I set out in search of a dock. It was a frustrating and futile quest, with numerous contenders falling far short of my apparently unattainable goals. What does a dock need to do? At a bare minimum, it needs to charge the device, be unobtrusive on my desk, and stay put when I pick up the phone. I know, I was really aiming high with that last one. The problem with practically every iPhone dock out there has to do with the Apple Dock Connector: it's simply a tight connection when built to Apple's standards, and that means most docks, even the heavier ones, don't have enough heft to stay down when you pick up your phone.
Consigned to having to charge by cable rather than waste money on a dock that'd give me fits, I fell into a deep depression, haunted by the white iPhone dock cables I had strewn about the house. Then, one day in mid-December my dreams were answered. An upstart Oregon company by the name of Elevation Lab was kicking ass on Kickstarter with their proposal for the iPhone dock to beat all other iPhone docks: the Elevation Dock.
We're not kidding when we say that the Elevation Dock is the dock Apple should have made the first time around. And the second and third and fourth times. Elevation Lab offered two models of the Elevation Dock, one for just power, the other adding a shielded audio line-out and a USB power adapter to the mix. Considering that we're fans of wireless audio like Bluetooth and AirPlay and have somewhere between four and five dozen USB power adapters scattered around the house, we didn't feel the need to spring for fancier model.
The Elevation Dock comes in a simple box obviously inspired by Apple. While the folks at Elevation Labs might be good with the CNC machine, they're not so great with the packaging design - our boxes were pretty beaten up by the hefty product they were supposed to carry securely by the time they got to our door after a cross-continent trip. Regardless, we didn't jump on the Kickstarter train because of the packaging.
Inside that packaging was the machined aluminum Elevation Dock itself with a little foot-long USB cable sticking out the back, a Micro-USB-to-USB six-foot cable, and a small hex key.
The dock stands out among the other entrants in the iPhone dock arena. It's a solid chunk of machined, glass bead-blasted, and anodized aluminum - the same process employed by Apple in the construction of everything from the MacBook Pro to the iPad to the Mac Mini. In the Elevation Dock's case the edges are just as precisely milled (the outsides are sharp and the edges around the phone itself slightly cambered), though the bead blasting resulted in a finish that's slightly more textured than what Apple pumps out. Then again, this is a small start-up operation in Oregon and not Foxconn's massive factories over in China.
Machined beautifully it is, but there are two things that make the Elevation Dock stand out usability-wise against the competition. The first is a proprietary 'low friction' version of the Apple Dock Connector that allows your iPhone to easily slip on and off, versus the tighter fit offered by practically every other dock. The second comes by virtue of the machined aluminum construction - where Apple uses it to provide a sturdy shell and machines out as much unneeded aluminum as possible, Elevation Lab only machined out as much aluminum as was needed to fit the components, leaving the rest as a big chunk of metal that easily outweighs other popular contenders. Those two combined make for a dock that stays right on the desk when you pull your iPhone out.
The phone cavity of the Elevation Dock was designed to be extra accommodating for the iPhone, giving about a quarter of an inch clearance on the sides and back, and about half that up front. The idea was not just to create an iPhone dock that works well as a dock, Elevation Lab also created an iPhone dock that works well with cased iPhones. The dock connector is elevated about a quarter of an inch over the base, providing room for even chunky cases like the Otterboxes of the world.
At the back of the phone cavity is a rubber pad that can be pulled out and flipped around to fit various depths of cases. The thicker side is good for an uncased iPhone, the thinner for skin-style cases, and if you've got a big protective case you can just leave it out for maximum depth. The bottom of the phone cavity has two holes machined through the bottom of the dock to project sound out from the iPhone's speaker, though to be honest we suspect more sound is just reflected up out of the cavity than is blasted out through the narrow space provided by the rubber pad's on the dock's bottom.
One of the hallmarks of the Elevation Dock's Kickstarter campaign was their communication with their 12,521 backers (who pledged a record-breaking $1,464,706 to the project). In response to backer requests, the Elevation Lab team redesigned the dock to accommodate a removable Micro-USB connection instead of an integrated fixed-length cable. To avoid the unsightly appearance of a cable plugged into the back of the dock, they put in a removable panel held on by two screws (this is where that hex key comes in).
Once removed you're presented with a small red circuit board with a Micro-USB port. The port is a tight fit, but it's not something we'd expect you to be changing on a regular basis. Responding to customer concerns, Elevation Lab started including a little slip of paper to remind you to be gentle when removing the cable - pull straight out, not up and out, to avoid damaging the port. Once you've swapped the cable, just slap the bottom panel back on, screw it down, and you're back to a clean design with just the cable sticking out the back and a narrow precision seam denoting the break between the two pieces.
Now, all of this has been about the Elevation Dock with the tried-and-true Apple Dock Connector that's been in action since 2001. The iPhone 5 is expected come with a smaller dock connector (published first here on iMore) that would obviously not be compatible with the current 30-pin connector. So what's an Elevation Dock owner to do? Wait, for Elevation Lab has your back. Once we know what the new dock connector is going to look like, Elevation Lab's planning to make a low friction version that can be swapped out with the one currently in the dock (or an adapter, though for obvious reasons we'd prefer the former). They smartly designed the current dock connector and circuit board to just be held in by a set of small hex screws, so replacement shouldn't be an issue even for tech novices.
The Elevation Dock is the dock that Apple should have been making all along. It's attractive, heavy, a breeze to use, and expertly designed. The folks at Elevation Lab clearly care about what their customers think, given the changes made in response to their feedback. In the end the Elevation Dock is what we've wanted in an iPhone dock for some time: it's simple, yet versatile. It's not designed to be showy or minimalist or anything other than work. It does the job with Apple-level simplicity. And to think we thought we'd never fall in love with a dock like this.
The good
- Low-friction dock connector for easy docking
- Solid metal heft
- Beautiful understated design
- Fits bulky cases
The bad
- USB power adapter not included with base model
- Not yet available at retail
The conclusion
The Elevation Dock is the dock that Apple should have made in the first place, and it's amazing they still haven't made it. The solid machined aluminum base and low-friction connector make for a dock that stays down when you pick up, unlike many other entrants in the dock category. The only problem right now is availability; unless you were one of the 12,000 who backed the project on Kickstarter, you're going to be waiting for the Elevation Dock to hit retail - something we hope happens quickly.

Elevation Dock for iPhone review
Too bad it took so long for the guys to deliver. Making a prototype into a production version is not easy, even when you have a million dollar kickstarter money. You also need to deliver those 12,000 docks and hopefully make a profit so you stay in business. Glad it finally worked out.
Still waiting for my single basic unit to be shipped.
wasn't this thing expected to be super pricey? Like over $70. If so that's a major con. That seems to be glossed over. How does it work with a case? "it's not designed to be showy or minimalist." Really? Looks to me it was totally designed to be showy and minimalist. For me that's NOT a negative though. Nothing wrong with showy and minimalist. Kinda like a black on black Lambo. Other questions: how is the quality of the audio out when used with quality home speakers. I'd also wonder if there were any issues with the cable coming loose. Seems a nice way to hide the connection for a minimilist look but i can also see occasionally coming loose from pulling and having to unscrew it and put it back in. Also seems wild to not include a cable because how do you know if it will fit securely in that spot they've made. It does look very nice though. I will say I have a cheapo dock i got from Meritline like 3 or 4 years ago and honestly, it's never been a big deal that i slightly moves when i take the ipod/iphone off the cradle. If i need to i use two hands. but hey if it was the same price as other docks i'd consider one surely.
Reminds me of this Kickstarter that didn't get funded: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tracmac/the-billet-dock-the-easiest-...
Loved their dual dock idea for ipad and iphone... if Apple change up the dock port on iPhone5 and iPad4/mini then things will be interesting
Still waiting for my single basic unit to be shipped. I was one of the early Kickstarter backers. If you check the comments for this project you will find actual users who have both been please and disappointed with the performance of this product.
Personally, I'd just like the thing to finally show up so I can decide if it was money well invested or an exercise in futility.
I believe the MAGdapter is the adapter/dock/cable/car dock etc. Apple should have made in the first place.
It seems such an obvious thing - people want to be able to chuck their phone into the dock and pull it out without having to worry about flimsy connectors etc.
The MAGdapter:
- Solves the iPhone 4/5 dock issue by providing a retrofit-table, cross-compatible (between iPhone and Android as well).
- MAGdaptable - just THROW IT IN and RIP IT OUT!
- Charges, syncs, plays audio (and the Android version spits out HDMI as well!).
One particularly good example of where the MAGdapter comes into play is the Elevation Dock - a fine piece of engineering.
But then the 5 came out, and it needs SOME SORT OF ADAPTER. ;
Why spend $35 on an awkward cable adapter from Apple (an UN-IMPROVEMENT IF YOU LIKE - an adapter that doesn't look at all likely to be resting in many docks on a permanent basis) and ALL IT WILL DO, is charge and play audio when for $60/70 you can get ONE adapter that will function as your:
- USB charge cable
- Car dock with audio
- Home dock with charge, sync, audio (and MHL for Android) and any other electronics customers want put in the dock adapter portion.
- Anyone with either an Android or iPhone (as long as they have a 'phone MAGdapter fitted) can use inter-operable with all other users of the dock.

Testimonials from teachers about the Wolves School-Day Game
"This was a stimulating experience and engaging program for our students. The educational connections were well thought out and provided a reason to incorporate professional sport field trips into the school year."
"On behalf of my teaching partner and myself, we would like to first thank you all for the accommodations you made for us, making it possible for us to attend today's game. Secondly, you guys have a well-oiled machine there. Everything was so nicely laid out and we were so well-prepared with what the day would bring thanks to your informative letter that came with the tickets. The pickup and distribution of the lunches was painless."
"I just wanted to let you know that our students had a WONDERFUL time at the game yesterday. Everyone at the arena was kind, helpful, and upbeat and we felt very taken care of. NONE of our students had ever attended a hockey game and only two had ever attended a professional sports game of any kind.

Courses: The Soviet System and Its Demise (RUSSH249A01)
Fall 2010
The Soviet system was inspired by some of the loftiest ideals of humanity. The entire society was redesigned so as to pursue common goals, rather than conflicting private objectives. The economy was run for people, not profits. The Soviet system is no more, but the ideas on which it was founded will probably always be with us. What does the largest social and economic experiment in history teach us? The course is 1/3 political science and 2/3 economics.
Prerequisites: Two one-sem courses in Econ, Pols, or Hist.
Fulfills: SO I

So what is a Jammer?
Def: jam 7. 'To interfere with or prevent the clear reception of (broadcast signals) by electronic means.' - http://www.answers.com/jam
This instructable show you how to build a simple RF jammer/noise generator for 0-128MHZ. The sole purpose of this device is to interfere with the proper function of radio controlled objects.
The best part is that this project is SIMPLE. All of the heavy lifting is done for you by an Parallax Propeller chip. The hardest part is waiting for your components to arrive by UPS.
WARNING: In the US and elsewhere the intentional Jamming of RF Signals is ILLEGAL. The FCC does not look kindly on this type of action.
Also lady ada has a great writeup on this:
Step 1: What is happening
Step 2: Your Parts
Bill of Materials:
C1 22uf
C2 22uf
IC1 Propeller P8X32A-D40 $13
J1 4 pin header
R1 10k
U2 LM2937-3.3 (3.3v version) $2
W1 RCA Jack (optional)
X1 5 mhz Crystal
antenna, an ~8"/20.32cm odd length of wire will do
prototype board
propeller plug for programming $30 or build your own.
Step 3: Diagrams & Code
You can read the .sch file with http://www.expresspcb.com/ExpressPCBHtm/Free_cad_software.htm
The source code (.spin files) are Parallax Propeller objects
The original source code being used in this project was written by Beau Schwabe. Its intent was not for jamming purposes but for controlling a toy RC car his child had received.
how does it jam the signal? are you basically making a transmitter that puts out a stronger wave?
Yes, this is a transmitter. Working like white noise.
I have a question about from where i can get the board? Did you make it by yourself? or it's available in somewhere? I read the comments for an answer but i found nothing.
Remember this is all for Education!! Only.
I need help building a LF transceiver that will travel trough a 2.4ghz signal. from point A to point B also jam signal , Signal relay,
315.00MHz/433.92MHz/868.30MHz and 91
5.00MHz with one 24.305MHz crystal
If you wanted to change the frequency you jammed, say 2400mhz for example, would you just have to switch out the crystal for a 24000mhz crystal?
You should not be selling these. They are illegal and for a reason. People have been using devices like these to jam me and my psychic abilities and then blaming it on everyone else...COINTELPRO players are sick and cannot handle items like these responsibly. RF jams interfere with personal liberties and I hope the govt closes the civilian terrorists who use these down!
See my original warning:
WARNING: In the US and elsewhere the intentional Jamming of RF Signals is ILLEGAL. The FCC does not look kindly on this type of action.
Also lady ada has a great writeup on this:
1) Politicians to take bribes
2) Police officers to lie
3) Prosecutors to manufacture (plant) evidence
4) Defraud consumers
5) Be in this country ILLEGALLY
6) Grope somone's stuff (TSA)
7) Overcharging "mistakes" from banks?
I can just see it now hundreds of thousands of FCC technicians, each walking around with 10,000 worth of receivers, to look for emitters that are not supposed to be there. hhhmmm What about the LICENSEES who are violating technical standards or their own licenses? What about cell phone companies who lie about the REAL backhaul limtations of their service?
I guess that is not as important?!
I know people who have been prankster jammin for many many years....throw them in jail...along with the twelve million ILLEGALS who are breaking even more laws...like collecting welfare, not paying income taxes and selling using narcotics and voting under fictitious names...ever heard of Acorn?
I am really afraid...!

The leading mans too short, barely suggesting the height that his contemporaries said made him tower oer other men. And his voice, researched and accurate as it may be, is not the Abe Lincoln thats been inside our head for generations.
The actress they cast to play his wife is decades older than the woman shes portraying.
Ulysses S. Grant is a sharp-dressed redhead, and like Lincoln himself is played by a Brit.
We dont get the whole of his life and career: the hardscrabble childhood, the hard-won election, or even much of the civil war that election led to.
But Steven Spielbergs Lincoln is an elegiac turn from a filmmaker we thought was out of new tricks, a vivid, melancholy and meditative look at one of Americas most revered presidents. Daniel Day-Lewis gives us a very human flesh-and-blood Lincoln, weighed down by events but never at a loss for a funny story, rightfully lionized by history, but flawed and willing to take political shortcuts to secure his place in history.
Lincoln, using Doris Kearns Goodwins Team of Rivals and other historical texts as its guide, zeroes in on the president and his quarrelsome cabinet and their race to amend the Constitution to ban slavery forevermore before the Civil War ends. Theyre racing because of the potential for renewed conservative Southern interference from a new Congress, including newly reunited Confederate states. In brief but pointed sketches, Spielberg paints in the rivals Lincoln packed into his cabinet the secretary of State, William Seward (David Strathairn) who longed to be president himself, but came to worship Lincoln, and the impatient, oft-embattled secretary of War, Edwin Stanton (Bruce McGill, ill-tempered and terrific). And the filmmaker captures the political wheeling, dealing, bargaining and bullying that it took to make a lame-duck Congress turn permanent the sentiments of Lincolns earlier Emancipation Proclamation.
Were whalin, Mr. Ashby, Lincoln tells one weak-kneed Congressman. Weve been chasin this whale a long time.
I love the way Lincoln enters the picture weary, seated, meeting soldiers who tell of their exploits and atrocities men so excited at the sight of him that they jabber, all at once, interrupting the president.
Thats a recurring motif here, people talking over Lincoln, impatient with his jokes, homilies and allegorical stores. His wife, Mary Todd (Sally Field), can point out that No ones as loved as much as you, but that doesnt mean his political contemporaries friends and foes feared insulting him, brushing him off or shouting him down.
Day-Lewis gets across the gentle humanity of the man, a doting dad, tolerant husband (Field ably makes Mary Todd Lincolns manic mood swings understandable) and a kind soul who was simply good, and never more good than when he kept things simple.
Tommy Lee Jones lends flint and fire to the radical Republican Congressman Thaddeus Stevens, whose chief criticism of Lincoln was the presidents equivocating and delaying the ending of slavery. John Hawkes, Tim Blake Nelson and a hilarious James Spader are backdoor wheeler-dealers angling to bribe enough votes to secure passage of the 13th Amendment. Hal Holbrook brings great gravitas to political kingmaker Francis Blair and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is well-cast as Lincolns older son, Robert.
Jackie Earle Haley stands out as Alexander Stephens, the Confederate vice president angling to make a peace treaty that will preserve slavery. More problematic is Jared Harris (Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows) as Grant. His hair, air and accent dont work, and turning the rumpled, hard-drinking general into someone this spit-and-polished doesnt help.
Tony Kushners script pauses, time and again, for Lincoln to tell a joke or a little story, always to get across some larger point. Day-Lewis is nobodys idea of a comedian, so he lacks Lincolns Mark-Twain yarn-spinner timing.
And for all its grace notes and lightly lyrical touches, like the Great Man himself, the movie ambles, meanders and wanders off on storytelling tangents. Its a flaccid 2½ hours long, which does make for a somewhat more complete portrait of the man, but which robs the movie of any sense of forward progress and urgency.
This renders Lincoln closer to Amistad than Schindlers List in the Spielberg canon historically meticulous, well-intentioned, but missing emotion and a sense of momentum.
Its still a lovely film, and thanks to the research and good-humored, stoop-shouldered interpretation of Honest Abe, the Lincoln that American schoolchildren picture in their heads from now on could now have a weedy drawl provided by an Oscar-winning Englishman, one of the finest actors who ever lived.
3 stars (Grade: B)

The American goalkeeper has played under Moyes since he signed him from United in 2006 and he has been one of the key men at Everton since he arrived.
Howard admits Moyes is going to be a huge loss to Everton, but he will make a big impression at Old Trafford.
"By coming to work every day and not taking any short cuts. He does not allow players to rest or slacken off," said Howard.
"Look at a player like me, selected for damn near every game, so I think he has the utmost trust in me. But I can tell you with my hand on my heart that in training, when the goalkeepers get called over to work with the rest of the first team, I feel a bit of nerves.
"You might think it's only the training ground, but if I throw one in, it's not as if he looks the other way, he gives me a hammering from the touchline.
"After seven years you'd think a guy like me, who he trusts would get a break, but no, he is still on at you.
"That's his ethos, that's just how he is. He keeps you on your toes and believing you have to give more."
Howard hopes that Everton can be as successful as United in terms of finding a new manager.
"United and Everton are in the same boat with having to replace the manager in terms of expectation and all the rest. We will need to fill the vacancy with a very strong character. And I have no doubt that will happen," he said.
"His players have trusted in him and it's kind of a two-way street. It was a happy marriage for Moyes and for Everton.
"Everyone is saying United have to have faith in him, give him time to work his magic. Well it's the same with the new guy who comes here.
"We are a strong group of quality players and the foundations are set. The table is set for the next guy and I have no doubt if he is a strong character, a guy who can lead us well, we will have no problems."

Hi everyone,
My daughter developed eclampsia at 34 weeks and had to have an emergency c-sect after having 3 seizures. After delivery she had several more and had to be intubated for a couple of days. Well that was 2 yrs ago and her and the baby are doing well. Recently while at work she had a seizure. She has an upcoming appt with a neurologist but I was wondering has this ever happened to anyone else. She never had seizures prior to pregnancy and this has definitely taken us by surprise.

EAST BEND - For the better part of three seasons, Wilkes Central has been the staple of girls basketball in the area.
Savannah Hill, Brittany Moose and the Lady Falcons changed that Friday night in East Bend - for one night at least.
Forbush stunned the powerhouse Eagles 71-57, knocking Central off its perch on top of the Mountain Valley Conference standings in thrilling fashion.
"That's huge. Obviously we're both pretty young. They were undefeated coming into tonight, so to beat them, is huge," head coach Bradley Shore explained. "Overall, I don't know when the last time Forbush girls beat Wilkes Central."
While the Eagles are not as dominant as they were a year ago when they advanced to the 2A state title game (9-5 on the season), they are still the class of the conference, riding a win streak that has spanned three seasons. Central's last MVAC loss came in Jan. 15, 2011 to Ashe County.
Forbush came out strong and took it to the Eagles, jumping out to a 12-8 lead following a Hill three-pointer. Central responded and grabbed an 17-15 advantage after one quarter of play.
The Falcons retook the lead on a Hannah Dinkins bucket early in the second and opened the frame on a 15-5 burst, taking a 30-22 lead with 1:45 left.
But Central knocked down back-to-back treys down the stretch to cut the deficit to two at 30-28 heading to the locker room.
The teams traded baskets and the lead in a back-and-forth third quarter until another Dinkins put-back gave Forbush a 46-44 lead they would never surrender.
A personal 7-2 run by Moose pushed the Falcons lead out to five at 53-48 two minutes into the fourth quarter as Forbush never looked back.
The Falcons knocked down 11-of-14 free throws in the final frame and held Wilkes Central's high-powered offense to just 11 points in the quarter to cruise to the wild 71-57 victory.
"That was exciting," Shore said. "That may have been our second best game of the year from start to finish. We've been getting more consistent every game. For four quarters we played very well tonight. We knew coming in that we were going to face pressure the entire game and I thought we handed their pressure fairly well. They forced some turnovers but we never got down on ourselves.
"The girls are pretty excited. They asked if they could turn the music on, and usually we don't listen to music after the game. They cranked it up but I told them to come out of the locker room cool as cucumbers," he continued. "We're beginning to expect this so we want to celebrate in the locker room. I think they're probably more excited tonight than after their first win over North Iredell. To score a conference win over a team that no one has beaten in the past few years…they're pumped."
The trio of Hill, Moose and Shannon Holden powered Forbush to the upset victory. Hill and Moose paced the offense with 16 points apiece, while Holden finished with 15 points on the night. Moose did the majority of her damage on the free throw line, knocking down 14-of-17 foul shots. Nine Falcons scored on the night.
"They all got on the floor and hustled," Shore explained. "All that comes from the confidence of winning a game or two. They realize they could win a game and they want to fight that much harder for a win. We had some great bench support tonight. They contributed offensively and defensively and also gave the starters some rest. Our starters were fresh in the second half."
After starting the season 0-9, the Falcons have been on fire as of late, winning four games in a row and five of their last six, including three-straight conference wins. Forbush now sits at 5-10 on the year and 3-4 in the league.
The Falcons return to the court next week against Alleghany on Tuesday before hosting East Wilkes Friday night.
"It's taking longer than planned like it did last year, but we're on a little winning streak and the girls are believing," Shore said. "I'm excited for the win, but our statement is we want to win games. It was a big win, but we have to come out strong Tuesday against Alleghany. It's big for tonight."

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Chattanooga Mocs (0-5) volleyball team dropped its fifth match of the season Friday night with a 3-2 loss to Charlotte (2-3) on the second night of the Country Inns & Suites Invitational at Maclellan Gym.
"This isn't exactly where we want to be because we aren't winning, but we came out with the right mindset," Head Coach Travis Filar said after the loss. "I think we embraced the opportunity, though. I thought we played well, didn't make many errors and I liked how our kids battled."
Chattanooga took command of the match early with a 27-25 win in the first set. Forcing the frame to extra points after trailing by as many as six points for most of the match, the Mocs strung together back-to-back four-point rallies to take a 25-24 while they were on the ropes. Charlotte tied the set at 25 but a kill from freshman Allie Davenport (Tyrone, Ga.) gave UTC the lead and an attacking error handed them the win.
Davenport took 65 swings Friday night, nearly double the amount of her-closest teammate Julimar Alvarado (San Juan, Puerto Rico) with 38, and led the team with 21 kills. The freshman was also responsible for 12 digs and three blocks, en route to her second double-double of the season.
"Allie played great tonight," Filar said. She played six rotations, was a primary passer and that added up to a big match for her."
The Mocs handled the 49ers with a little more ease in the second frame, winning 25-21 to take a 2-0 lead in the match. Battling from behind yet again, three rallies worth four points each boosted the Mocs into the lead midway through the set, giving UTC a 15-12 lead. Charlotte challenged late, but spikes downed by freshman Kendall Sexton (Orlando, Fla.) landed in 49ers' territory with aggression to swart any chances of a comeback.
"Kendall has really stepped for us when we needed her," Filar said. "She is getting better with every single rotation. She showed a lot of toughness and she has taken that extra step that it takes to become a college athlete."
Chattanooga's luck ran out in the third, however, falling 25-19 in another closely played set. The Mocs would only tack on one more point to their total in the fourth with a 25-20 loss before a 15-8 final in the deciding set handed UTC its fifth loss, dropping Filar's squad to 0-5 on the season.
The Country Inns & Suites Invitation continues tomorrow at 10 a.m. with UT Martin taking on Tennessee. Chattanooga's next match is set for 2 p.m. as the Mocs take on UT Martin's Skyhawks before wrapping up the five-match weekend at 8 p.m. against UNC Asheville.

Hello Everybody,
I tried posting this question to a general questions forum on Gunco, but got no response, then I saw this forum and decided to try here. My question (I'm relatively new here) involves my desire to shoot my AK47 (7.62) subsonic. Would it be more practical to reload the 7.62X39mm round to subsonic levels using larger bullets and very short burning rate powder OR: would it make more sense to convert the rifle to 9mmX39mm? I have tried to find reloading data for the 7.62X39 round, but it seems there isn't anything out there about this. Does anyone on this forum have any knowledge about subsonic reloads for the AK in 7.62? Or does the caliber conversion make more sense and if so, where do I go to find info on that conversion? Thanks for your time and consideration.
