USA TODAY best-selling author Darynda Jones has made a career out of death. That's what you get when your signature heroine is the Grim Reaper. Darynda's latest release in the Charley Davidson series is Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet. And if you're dying to read it (get it?), you're in luck: It came out at the end of October. Darynda joins us now to talk about death, cookies and scary books.
Joyce: Welcome to HEA, Darynda! You appear to have a fascination with death, what with Charley being the Grim Reaper and the start of your new YA series, Death and the Girl Next Door. What's up with that?
Darynda: Haha, I've asked myself the same thing quite often. The truth is, I'm just not sure. If I had to take a guess, I'd say there's something about the mystery of it all, the seeming finality. Depending on one's beliefs, of course, death can be either terrifying or liberating. Either way, it's something we all ponder. What else is there? Where do we go from here? It's always fascinated me.
Joyce: You said in another interview that you watch a lot of sitcoms for inspiration on Charley's best bud, Cookie. Which sitcoms in particular?
Darynda: And it's a great excuse to watch TV, don't you think? I love watching the relationships between characters in sitcoms like Seinfeld, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and (not really sitcoms, but) the Gilmore Girls, Buffy and Supernatural. I get a lot of inspiration for the tug and pull between characters from shows like that. You'd be surprised at the depth of emotion these shows explore. My dream is to be able to make my readers laugh and cry at the same time. A writer really has to know how to tap into the deepest chasms of the psyche to achieve that kind of emotion. So that's me. Study, study, study. : )
Joyce: Wow, I watch or have watched every one of those shows. Romance writers are scary that way. So, which friend in Friends are you most like? I'm the control freak Monica, no question.
Darynda: I always wanted to be like Monica! I think I do have a touch of her (the control-freak part), but sadly I'm more like Phoebe. Kind of ditzy at inappropriate times.
Joyce: I've heard that about you. Speaking of cookies … what's your favorite kind?
Darynda: Mmmm, it would be a tossup between chocolate chip and butter pecan.
Joyce: What's your favorite scary book?
Darynda: Favorite is a strong word, but the book that scared the pants off me when I read it in high school was The Amityville Horror. Actually, I couldn't get through it, it scared me so bad. I recently bought it again to see if it was still that scary to me and to see how the author, Jay Anson, did it. I want to be able to scare the pants off people. Or at least their socks. I'll let you know what I find out when I work up the nerve to read it.
Joyce: That book scared the pants offa me, too! Then when the dog started howling right outside my bedroom window because of sirens in the distance, I had to put the book down for a while. A long while. Since Halloween wasn't that long ago, did you celebrate? What's your best Halloween costume from the past? One year I glued cotton balls to a hoodie and a pair of jeans so I could go to a party as a lamb. Even though I was already going as a Lamb. : ) The costume itself was really, really hot. And not sexy hot.
Darynda: LOL! But how creative! We didn't have a lot of money growing up and one year my mother just couldn't afford costumes, so we had to create our own. And wouldn't you know it, that's the one that sticks out most in my mind. I wore a bright orange skirt and top, stole my little brother's cowboy boots, and topped it off with a cardboard Lone Ranger mask. No idea who I was supposed to be, but I was masked, orange and ready to kick some outlaw butt.
Every year, my sister-in-law makes a huge pot of chili and invites us over for Frito Pie and Halloween candy. Not sure how the tradition got started but I like it!
Joyce: I like the sound of that. And, yes, I'd be happy to attend next year. Thanks so much for inviting me! : ) Please tell us about Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet and what readers can expect to see from you next.
Darynda: Sure! In Fourth Grave, we learn a lot more about Charley and even a little more about Reyes. We get answers to some lingering questions that I think readers will be happy about. We also get a tad more heat, which is always nice on a crisp fall night. : )
Here's a quick blurb:
Sometimes being the grim reaper really is that. Grim. And since Charley's last case went so awry, she has taken a couple months off to wallow in self-pity ... until a woman, who may or may not be insane, shows up on her doorstep convinced someone is trying to kill her. Meantime, Satan's son, the devilishly handsome Reyes Farrow, is out of prison — and finally out of Charley's life. But Reyes's absence has put a serious crimp in her sex life. While Charley has a world of other matters to contend with, including a series of arson attacks throughout Albuquerque, she can't quite keep away from Reyes. Especially when it looks like he may be the arsonist. Where there's smoke there's fire … and just as her life seemed to be returning to normal, Charley is thrust back into the world of crime and punishment — and the devil in blue jeans.
Joyce: Is there anything you'd like to add?
Darynda: Besides a big fat THANK YOU for having me? Nope. I really appreciate it!
Joyce: And here's a big fat YOU'RE WELCOME. Come back any time.

I am going on a vacation to Myrtle Beach next week and was surfing to find fun attractions we may visit. I came across the whole complex of Ripley's museums, including the Ripley's Haunted Adventure. At $15 and in a reasonably highly maintained area, I assume it is a well done, well maintained haunt.
I loves me a good haunt (go figure) and would like to go. My question is has anyone been there and is it a "boo, gotcha" kind of place, a more atmospheric and creepy place, or a combination of both?

The Big Country has an abundance of history, much of which centers on ranching and railroad, but what some residents might not realize is the importance the area played in World War II. From 1942 to 1944, Avenger Field in Sweetwater was home to the WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots), a select group of brave and patriotic women who were trained to fly and ferry military aircraft between Air Force bases throughout the United States. Their dedication to country and love for the open sky freed male pilots for combat duties.
To honor these women and their role in the nation's history, The National WASP WWII Museum in Sweetwater will host the Ninth Annual WASP Homecoming at Avenger Field. The event will be an all-day affair on Saturday, May 25, and will include plenty of excitement for all ages. The festivities will begin early with several warbirds and other planes on display. A spokesperson for the museum said they expect a Beech-18, a T-6 Texan, a Fairchild PT-19 and several Stearman PT-17s to be among the planes in the air and on the ground at Avenger Field. But, perhaps the highlight of this year's plane line-up is the opportunity to get up close to a Douglas C-47 Skytrain. This particular C-47 is believed to have more WWII history than any other C-47 still flying today. Also available at the event will be the opportunity for children between the ages of 8 and 17 to go up for a ride in an airplane as part of the EAA Young Eagles program. There will be plenty of other activities and sights throughout the day including HANGARburgers and Fififries for lunch and an opportunity to meet the WASP in attendance.
Carol Cain, the museum administrator, is inviting and encouraging the public to come out and learn the history of the WASP and to visit with them. "You have to realize," Cain said, "These women were in their teens and early 20s in 1943. That puts most of them close to 90 years old." The museum expects 18 WASP to attend this year's homecoming, down slightly from last year's attendance. "These women are an inspiration to girls and women across the globe," Cain said. "They volunteered for this role. They are trailblazers." U.S. Air Force Major Caroline A. Jensen is one example of a young woman motivated by what the WASP accomplished. Now in her first season with the U.S. Air Force Demonstration Squadron ("Thunderbirds"), Major Jensen said, "I know that I am able to do what I do today because of their courage, service, grace and skill. I have been fully aware of the WASP and their service and I have felt them with me every step of the way in my military career." Major Jensen will be the featured speaker and will host the WASP Forum, at this year's event.
The museum recommends that anyone interested in attending the Ninth Annual WASP Homecoming visit www.waspmuseum.org for more information about the occasion. "We are looking forward to a special day and we welcome everyone to come out and participate," Cain added.
The National WASP WWII Museum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation located at Avenger Field, Sweetwater, the training field of the Women Airforce Service Pilots. The WASP Museum seeks to educate and inspire all generations with the story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots — the first women to fly American military aircraft — women who forever changed the role of women in aviation.

Quality, Style, & Elegance!
Welcome to Sonny Acre Farm home of Sonny Acre Silkie Bantams! We were founded in 2007 and began by breeding Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats, and did so until early summer of 2013, when we finally made the long term goal switch over to Toggenburg dairy goats. In early 2012 we began breeding Silkie Bantam chickens. This spiraled into a much larger operation and passion than I ever thought possible! We began with several varieties of Silkies, and have since then narrowed it down to much small color diversity in our barn.
As a breeder and exhibitor of these beautiful Silkies we have done very well with producing correct, and show winning birds, with outstanding breed type and color. We focus largely of breeding Porcelain/Blue-Cream Silkies. I am dedicated to breeding the absolute best birds of this variety and having them accepted in the near future as a recognized variety. We also have beautiful Whites, Partridge, and Lavender/Self Blue's, and a few Buffs. If you have any questions feel free to shoot us an email and ask, and look around our virtual home! Thanks for stopping by and considering Sonny Acre Silkies!

Pre-recording woes
My band is about to record two songs with a local guy who runs a studio. Pretty decent equipment and is giving us a good price. The first song is more of our radio-friendly hit that our audience enjoys and dances to. The second song is a more complicated, longer in length, and basically fits the personality of our band.
Yesterday we had a pre-recording meeting with him. A few days ago we sent him a raw recording of the two songs just so he knew what songs he was going to work with and also jot down some of his ideas he had in mind. Well, we started with the complicated song and he added some stops here and there that rest of the band seemed to dig. He suggested that I simplified the chorus beat (which I thought was simple enough as it is). However, I made it more 'driving' and it sounded like it fit better. We got to the radio-friendly song and that's when all hell broke loose for me. It's basically not the same song since nearly a minute of it has been cut out and so many stops and rests were added. Now it seems like a brand new song and my mind is cluster-f*ck whenever I try to play it. I wish I had the clips uploaded on soundcloud or something. I'm more of a feel player and whenever it comes to stops or rests I always seems to jump the gun - either too early or too late. Mind you, we made all these changes within a couple of hours and I haven't really had time to fully practice the new versions.
if TL:DR - how do I get better at stops and rests as a feel player.

Rapidly evolving technology has universities continually evaluating alert system
Tufts University's Manager of Web Content and Strategy writes, "Through social media we make real connections … and find out what people are thinking and saying. It helps us understand our community in new ways that more traditional media doesn't offer."
An inflammatory cartoon published last year in Sacramento State's student newspaper has prompted the university's provost to push for greater oversight by faculty.
Moments after Virginia Tech emergency dispatchers sent out the alert that shots had been fired on Thursday afternoon, students and onlookers started sharing messages on the Internet:
How many 140-character messages were tweeted today? How many posts have been published in the past 24 hours? How many photos have been posted, and liked, on Facebook since yesterday? Hundreds of thousands, if not millions.
Avila University had a communications problem. Or rather, a communications coordination problem.
A flawed process prevented admissions representatives, coaches, department chairs and others from knowing what each had told prospective students. The confusion hindered administrators at the private Catholic school that prides itself on getting to know every single one of its 1,800 students.
The student center is the heart of any campus. It's so important that students at Clarkson University, a small private college in Potsdam, NY, voted an increase in their own fees to help pay to build one.
Clarkson, a nationally ranked research university, has 3,000 students in more than 50 degree programs. But despite its national reputation and dynamic student community, Clarkson did not have a student center.

Whoohoo for puppies!

I love these doggy hoods!
OMG, what a great time to be a puppy (or handler for that matter). These just bog posted up today, they look pretty damn cool. What I am most excited about is that these are adding to a wide range of puppy related gear available out there, which just a few short years ago when I started as a puppy. Seemed like there were only a couple of choices back then.

Measuring Your WaistSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Your waist size can be an important measure of health.
Waist circumference
Waist circumference is an indirect indicator of intra-abdominal fat tissue, often called visceral fat. A large waist circumference is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease because of excess abdominal fat.
To measure your waist circumference , place a tape measure around your body at the top of your hipbone. This is usually at the level of your belly button. You are at increased risk for health problems if you are: 1
- A man with a waist measurement greater than 40 in. (102 cm).
- A woman with a waist measurement greater than 35 in. (88 cm).

Video:Classic Prom Updowith Kyle Britt
Want to learn about creating a classic prom updo? This video will show you how to do a gorgeous prom updo on your own.See Transcript
Transcript:Classic Prom Updo
Welcome to Studio 207. My name is Kyle Britt. I am a licensed professional cosmetologist and today I am going to show you how to do an elegant prom updo.
Tools for a Classic Prom Updo
The tools you will need to complete a prom updo is:
- a hairspray
- bobby pins
- comb
- teasing comb
- a pair of butterfly clips
- a professional curling iron
- and a feel good brush
Instructions for Creating a Classic Prom Updo
With this prom updo the focus and the body will be more on the top of the head rather than underneath. So what we are going to do is section up the hair. What I am going to do is I am going to resection up here and we are going to tease a little more extra. Take this, section, tease. Now what I am really focusing teasing is below the middle of the ear because we want this to be a little more smoother and not so large so that it doesn't take away from the focal point.
Now that we have that teased off we can go ahead and just take this section, curl up, and you would do the same thing within the next volume sections. Bottom half, go ahead, just follow the suit, then you take this and you just. Now we are going to take the rest, we are going to just smooth up.
So what I did, I've smoothed out the top section and I just pulled it all through. We are going to take a section by section. Let's use the curl that we have, and kind of just pin it in. We are going to finish it off with this section, section by section we just pull it back.My name is Kyle Britt and this is how you do a formal prom updo.

SACRAMENTO - Forty-six-year-old landscaper Pasqual Gonzalez is behind bars in Yuba County Jail, accused of raping a woman identified by court records as his employee.
The alleged attack happened in December while the two were working in the Plumas Lake area.
Court documents allege Gonzalez made several advances toward the victim while in his work truck.
Investigators say he touched her sexually and then raped her.
Records also say the next day, the victim returned to work with Gonzalez because "she needed money," but after another advance by Gonzalez, she then went to police.
The suspect's son, Paul Gonzalez, questions why someone at Plumas Lake didn't witness the attack.
"That's a place that is a public place. People socialize there. So my question is, how could this happen?" said Gonzalez.
The suspect's wife Hilaria says she believes her husband is being targeted by the victim because he didn't help her family when they needed it.
"The woman was mad at my husband that he didn't help her boyfriend and he was deported," said Hilaria Gonzalez.
Gonzalez's bail was set at $600,000. His next court appearance was scheduled for Jan. 24.

Holiday Tipping Tips for Daycare Workers and Other People Who Keep You Sane
Several days ago, a friend with two little kids posted this on her Facebook page:
What is an appropriate holiday "tip" for daycare workers? Please chime in, moms (and dads!). I was about to go in on a group give for our daycare workers until I learned how little some of the other parents are giving and am horrified. I'm considering pulling out of the arrangement and doing our own thing, as in past years.
One mom mentioned giving $5-10 total. There are 3 or 4 caregivers per room, so potentially not even $2 each.
Many shocked parents weighed in on her postand other friends and I talked about it afterwardwith advice ranging from tipping a weeks worth of tuition to giving $50 per teacher to giving cash and also buying the classroom a tangible present, like supplies. Regardless, most everyone agreed: Giving a meager cash tip to the (often underpaid) teachers who nurture and protect our kids day after day in order to cut corners is almost insulting.
Its also a delicate issue, though: For many parents, money is tight (I type after sheepishly reviewing my American Express balance, which reveals a torrid love affair with Amazon Prime). Not everyone can afford to spread the cash around and then maybe pile on a class gift or two on top of that. Many daycares and preschools are very expensive to begin withshocker!and if you have more than one kid enrolled, the costs are downright astronomical.
And thats just daycare. Add in the babysitter, mailman, recycling guy, or hairdresser, and you could be staring down a January of ramen noodles and debt. My friend found this very handy guide from Emily Post (yep, Em has a website) that breaks down the ins and outs of proper holiday gift-giving. Turns out theres some room for creativity, so dont be afraid that if you give your hair stylist homemade treats instead of a big fat check shell curse you with a mullet next time around.
So check out EP's helpful chart (erm, ignore the part about the butlerunless, of course, you have a butler, in which case youre probably not worried about your tipping budget) and remember to always include a handwritten, hopefully heartfelt note with your gift. Especially when it comes to those caregivers: They deserve it, and a simple thank you, particularly these days, goes a long way.
What's your stance on tipping? Do you have a rule of thumb? Does it stress you out? We went in with a group on a cash gift for Andy's teachers, and I'm picking up literary classic Herb the Vegetarian Dragon (by request) for a class gift.

SPARKS, Nev. (AP) - The student who wounded two classmates and killed a teacher and then himself on a Nevada middle school campus was 12 years old.
Authorities say they're withholding the Sparks Middle School student's name out of respect for his family. But Washoe County School District Police Chief Mike Mieras released the seventh-grader's age at a news conference Tuesday.
District police say the boy brought the weapon used in the Monday morning spree from home. They're still working to determine how he obtained the 9mm semi-automatic Ruger handgun.
Police say the boy's parents are cooperating with them and could face charges in the case.
Also at the new conference, police lauded the actions of 45-year-old math teacher and former Marine Michael Landsberry. They say he tried to stop the rampage before he was fatally shot in the chest.

Our program is based upon the Montessori principles of self-direction, and experiential education. We promote a thoughtful and sensitive demeanor in the classrooms, and we support cooperation between children as they learn from one another.
Our facilities are designed to stimulate a child's imagination, curiosity and interest. Our curriculum is diverse and extensive to accommodate all styles of learning, while also being continuously evaluated to ensure that it is effective and adaptive in our changing world. Our highly specialized individual assessment program allows us to track each child's personal progress, directly measure academic advancement and supplement our program for each child's particular needs.
No infant, preschool or grade school program is more committed to the academic and personal success of its students. Our students love school, embrace challenges, and succeed in life.
Children are our
national treasures, our collective future, and our individual legacies. They
must be cherished and guided, and the education of our children should be
considered an arena of the utmost importance.

Grant Money to Help Fund a Video Recording Interview Room For Use in Child Forensic Interviews
WISCONSIN RAPIDS - The Wisconsin Department of Justice, Office of Crime Victim Services has awarded the Wood County Multidisciplinary Team a $13,365 grant to enhance their capability to video record child forensic interviews. The award is made possible through a grant from the federal Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) with supplemental funding through the Wisconsin Children's Justice Act (CJA) program.
The award will fund a new video recording interview room in the Wood County Courthouse that is appropriate for child victims of abuse and neglect. This central location will make the room more accessible to the Sheriff's Office and the Department of Social Services.
Bureau of Justice Assistance grants support law enforcement, victim services, treatment, corrections, the courts and technology & prevention initiatives that strengthen the nation's criminal justice system.
The Wisconsin Children's Justice Act grant program is committed to improving the investigation and prosecution of child abuse and neglect. The program encourages county childcare professionals to work together to streamline the investigative process so that children who are victims of a crime are not further traumatized. Often, this is done by bringing together a multidisciplinary team of law enforcement and social service agencies who work together from the start of an investigation.
CJA grant funds can also be used to train law enforcement officers and social workers on how to conduct forensic interviews of children. Forensic interviews provide a number of advantages. They allow for the child to be interviewed once rather than repeatedly by numerous agencies. The interviews are taped and can be used in preliminary court proceedings, rather than having to have the child testify in a courtroom on multiple occasions.
"Working together streamlines the investigative process and reduces secondary trauma to child victims," said Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen. "I am pleased the Wisconsin Department of Justice can support these important programs that protect child victims."
The Wood County Multidisciplinary Team includes representatives from the Wood County Sheriff's Office as well as other area law enforcement agencies, the Wood County District Attorney's Office, the Department of Human Service and the Marshfield Clinic Child Advocacy Center.

Texas Orders More H1N1 Vaccine
By KRWG News
Texas – Texas continues to order the state's full allocation of swine flu doses as more people are urged to get vaccinated. Texas now allows everyone to be vaccinated, while New Mexico is still restricting vaccination to priority groups.
The Texas Department of State Health Services on Friday said about 7.24 million doses have been ordered. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has allocated about 7.6 million doses to Texas.
Commissioner Dr. David Lakey says there is "the potential for another wave of illness" and people should get vaccinated.
More orders and shipments will follow as providers confirm their orders with DSHS.
The agency says Texas expects to receive nearly 13 million doses of the vaccine by January.

For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) has announced the topic of its seventh FIRST Lego League (FLL) task, asking students to explore the future of learning as part of the FLL World Class Challenge.
The challenge asks teams of 9- to 14-year-olds (9 to 16 outside North America) worldwide to research and present original ideas to enrich the current landscape of learning. Teams will also build, test, and program an autonomous robot using Lego Mindstorms technology to solve a series of wisdom-gathering missions based on the theme.
More than 260,000 children in nearly 80 countries are expected to participate in the FLL event, with an additional 27,000 6- to 9-year-olds expected in the Junior FLL competition. Teams of up to 10 children, with two adult coaches, participate in the eight-week challenge, which culminates in high-energy, sports-like tournaments. Past challenges have included topics such as natural disasters, biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, quality of life for handicapped and senior populations, and transportation. [Read more...]

Q Acoustics 2000i Series Speaker Set
Q-Acoustics 200i0 Cinema Pack | Best traditional package up to £700
The 2000i Cinema Package is the new range that delivers both unrivalled sonic performance and breathtaking value for money. We wanted the new 2000i Series to be the very best affordable loudspeakers ever produced. Comprising of 4 x 2010i bookshelf speakers for the front left and right as well as the rear channels, 1 x 2000Ci Centre Channel Speaker and 1 x 2070Si Subwoofer for 5.1 Surround Sound that allows you to fully enjoy and appreciate a full cinema surround sound experience in your own home.
the 2010is have a new tweeter (including a new decoupling ring), a different material for the mid/bass driver and a revised crossover. The front baffle has had subtle tweaks, too.
Every part of the new speakers is bespoke, optimised specifically for each new model. The tweeter, bass/midrange drivers, magnets, cone mass, cone rigidity, cone material, crossovers, terminal panel and fully braced cabinets are all designed with the sole purpose of creating the very best performing, lowest distortion, affordable loudspeakers available.
(HxDxW) 234.5 x 203 x 150mm
Each model boasts the same excellent, low distortion, ferro-fluid cooled, tweeter. To avoid cabinet resonances, the tweeter is isolated from the front baffle and, to further reduce distortion, its advanced 25mm micro polyester weave dome is ventilated both on the surround and on the dome itself. This reduces distortion by helping the tweeter maintain mechanical integrity by restricting the range of temperatures it endures.
The cone material of the new bass/midrange drivers is a paper/Mica mixture which was found, after extensive testing, to be the optimum material. Its near perfect balance of stiffness and damping delivers ultra low distortion in parallel with an outstanding transient response and astonishing dynamics.
'Finite Element Analysis' was employed to create cones with an exceptionally smooth frequency roll off. This reduces the necessity for compensating components in the crossover circuitry and the inevitable loss of detail.
Naturally, every model benefits from an acoustic fourth order Linkwitz/Riley crossover, to eliminate any phase variations at the crossover frequency.
To further optimise performance, the advanced design of each drive unit's magnet incorporates aluminium compensation rings, reducing distortion through a reduction of inductance modulation.
Laser spectrometry has been used to identify and then minimise cabinet resonances by the careful use of multi-thickness panels, internal bracing and damping materials. The particularly sweet high frequency response, obvious in all models, was particularly improved by the introduction of double layered top panels to every cabinet. To reduce colouration, all 2000i Series cabinets are rear ported. 'Port bungs' are provided, to optimise bass response when the speakers are positioned very close to a wall.
(Underneath of 2010 speaker)
The appearance of the new Q2000 Series makes a striking design statement.
All the cabinet dimensions have changed, so each speaker appears to present a slimmer and deeper profile. As well as traditional 'Graphite Black' and 'Walnut' finishes, at a small extra cost, the new 2000 models are available in beautiful 'Piano Gloss Black' and 'Piano Gloss White' finishes.
To further enhance visual impact, all speaker cable terminals are mounted on a recessed plate on the bottom of each speaker (excluding the 2070Si Subwoofer). Not only does this look far better, because there are no speaker cables protruding from the rear of the cabinet, but it also enables the speaker to be placed very close to a rear wall, without the speaker terminals or cable getting in the way.
(HxDxW) 425 x 560 x 195mm
Subwoofer in Walnut Finish
Unusually at its price level, the Model 2070Si subwoofer is a completely DSP (Digital Signal Processing) driven system with highly efficient class D amplification. However this has meant we have been able to achieve an advanced level of functionality, as well as optimising the sonic performance, by undertaking all filtering and limiting completely in the digital domain. An example is the 'Speaker Type' function switch, which alters the characteristic of the subwoofer's frequency response at the crossover point. This allows the subwoofer to be optimised for use with either 'ported' speakers, like the rest of the Q Acoustics range, or infinite baffle models.
The subwoofer's twin 170mm bespoke drive units are driven by two matched mono power amplifiers, producing a combined 140 watts. However the switched mode power supply consumes a mere 2 watts when in 'Standby' mode.

"I was completely unaware of the issue that domestic violence is within our society. I was blessed to grow up in a very loving family, but I found out that members of my extended family had been part of domestic violence situations and I didn't even know it," said the Crowley High School junior, whose own family was touched by the issue last year.
A law enforcement student at the Bill R. Johnson Career and Technology Education Center, Chadwick said a lecture on domestic violence in her Law II class moved her to action.
"My teacher, Mr. Rincon, was talking about domestic violence situations including sexual assault, child abuse and neglect. He said it was the No. 1 call police dispatchers receive. It opened my eyes," Chadwick said.
Hitting the books, Chadwick said she was compelled to study the issue. Gathering facts, figures and examples, Chadwick was further motivated to action after her stepmother took her to a domestic violence seminar at Tarrant County College. The seminar gave her direction for her future.
"I want to major in victim's studies at Sam Houston State," she said. "I could be a counselor, work with the police department or in the schools. Overall, I just want to help."
But getting people to open their eyes and ears to domestic violence, and move them to action is not easy, said Chadwick, who was named Law Enforcement Student of the Year.
"It's real. It's happening and many people are unaware so they try to shield their children from it. But by doing that, we enable our kids to be oblivious, which is dangerous for them and their friends who may need help," she said. "Kids who witness domestic violence have a harder time learning and making friends, and that's just the start of the problem."
Chadwick took action this spring when the class was challenged to do a project on domestic violence through the eyes of a child.
"I wanted to do a [video] PSA so I talked to the teachers in the audio/visual department and they loaned me some of their best students to run the cameras and do the editing. I rounded up actors and talked to some of the other teachers and they all wanted to help," she said
Enlisting her classmates, Chadwick became the producer, wielding the concept and keeping the motivation level high. The other law enforcement students helped write scripts, gave ideas for dramatic sequences and helped Chadwick bring the project together.
"April was domestic violence awareness month and I hoped to have it done by then, but there was a lot of testing going on so we just got the video shot," she said. Once testing was over, the project was picked back up.
"It was a time crunch as the end of school was coming, but we got it done," Chadwick said, proud of the efforts of her classmates Brayon Wilson, Jaylon Simpson, Aracelli Munoz, Joshua Thomas, Jacob Goodson and Elijah Reynolds. "My teachers Mr. [Markeith] West and Mr. [Daniel] Rincon are the best. They've taught me so much and inspired me. This place, the CTE center itself, empowers you. Everyone here is supportive and the law enforcement program has been an amazing experience."
Rincon said students like Chadwick, who find their passion and act on it, make teaching a joy.
"She's so positive and such an advocate. The PSA is very moving. The people [in the PSA] with their eyes covered don't want to see the abuse. Those with their ears covered don't want to hear about it, and the people with their mouths covered don't want to talk about it, but that's what we need to do. We need to confront the issue," Rincon said, noting Chadwick and her crew have done just that.
"I just want to prevent domestic violence and child abuse from happening," she said of the video. "If people know what to look for, they can get involved and bring it to a stop."
The PSA that Chadwick produced can be viewed on the CTE center website and is also posted on the Crowley Star website, www.crowleystar.net.

I was going to pick Kevin up at his house to do last minute Christmas shopping. I absolutely didn't want to go because I knew the malls would be packed with tons of others trying to finish up their holiday shopping as well. It was cold outside, and I was not looking forward to the evening. I wanted Kevin to just be ready and hop in my car when I pulled in the driveway. It was below freezing outside, and I definitely didn't want to get in and out of my car. Kevin had other intentions. He said he wasn't ready to leave yet because he hadn't taken a shower and wanted to finish watching the movie that was on TV. When he told me to come inside and wait on him, I was aggravated.
So, I turned off my car and stomped up the sidewalk. As I walked by the bay window, I wondered why all of the lights were off. As I opened the door, I saw Kevin all dressed up in a light blue button-up shirt, jeans and brown boots. The first thing I noticed was Kenny Chesney's "The Good Stuff " playing in the background. We had decided that this was our song when we first started dating. I also noticed the Christmas tree was plugged in, and the lights were sparkling. The fireplace pillar candles were lit, and two glasses of strawberry wine were sitting on the mantle. Strawberry wine was the first alcoholic drink we ever had together when Kevin planned a romantic evening for us years ago. Then, I noticed a medium-sized gift under the tree.
At this point, I was beginning to think that I knew what was going on; however, the size of the box threw me off a little bit. Kevin asked me to take a seat on the foot stool and open my gift. I asked him what was going on, but he couldn't do anything but smile. Somehow he managed to mumble, "Just open your present. " I tried to open the gift slowly, but I just couldn't resist. As soon as I got the green wrapping paper with gold sleighs unwrapped, I saw a "Samuel's Jewelers " ribbon around the gift box and knew exactly what the gift was. My eyes watered as I thought about the fact that I was getting engaged. I opened the gift box to find another type of box, and I covered my mouth in excitement and shock. I couldn't control my crying anymore, and it felt like there were a hundred tears continuously rolling down my cheeks.
As this was happening, Kevin got down on one knee with very watery eyes and started to say something that I couldn't hear because he was getting choked up. A few tears fell from his eyes to his chin as we just looked at each other. Finally Kevin said the words I had been waiting for, the words that millions of girls wait years to hear, the four little words: "Will you marry me? " I have never felt so sure about anything in my life. I didn't hesitate, pause or even have to think about what my answer would be. I knew I wanted to marry Kevin. It is funny that despite the number of the years I've tried to imagine the perfect engagement, I never had a clear image of what the perfect moment would look like until it happened. There wasn't one thing I would change or do differently.

Video:How to Strip Wax Buildup Off Tilewith Debbie Anderson
In this video our expert demonstrates how to strip wax buildup off tile flooring. See how easy it is to strip wax buildup off tile to make the floor look less dull and dirty looking.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Strip Wax Buildup Off TileHi! I'm Debbie Anderson for About.com!
Why It's Important to Strip Wax Buildup Off Tile FlooringTile kitchen floors can become dull and dirty looking due to wax buildup over time. So today, I'm going to show you how to strip the wax buildup from a tile floor in just a few easy steps.
Supplies to Strip Wax Buildup Off a Tile FloorFor this task, you will need:
- a garbage can with a clean garbage bag
- a squeegee
- a dust pan
- a large bucket
- a mop
- a stiff scrubbing brush
- a putty knife
- laundry detergent
- a bottle of ammonia
- a measuring cup
- a vacuum
- a pair of rubber gloves
- a large stirring spoon
- and an old toothbrush
Instructions for How to Strip Wax Buildup Off a Tile FloorFirst, remove any pet food bowls or area rugs that are on the floor.
Then, vacuum up any dust, crumbs, and loose dirt on the floor.
Next, after putting on your rubber gloves, create your own homemade wax stripping solution by pouring one cup of laundry detergent, one cup of ammonia, and one gallon of water into a large bucket.
Carefully stir the wax stripping solution together with a large mixing spoon.
Next, while starting at sections of the floor that are located furthest away from the exit of the room and working your way toward areas of the floor that are located closest to the exit of the room, apply the wax stripping solution with a mop to a small area of the floor and then allow the solution to sit and soften the wax buildup on the floor for approximately 15 minutes.
Next, strip the wax away from each area on the floor that you cover using a stiff scrubbing brush and a putty knife until all of the wax buildup has been removed from that particular area of the floor.
Then, use your squeegee to scoop up the wax residue into a dust pan and throw the wax residue away in a garbage can.
Finishing the Removal of the Wax BuildupFinally, as you continue to strip each section of the floor, use an old toothbrush to scrub the nooks and crannies in the tiled surfaces until all of the wax buildup has been removed from that particular section of the floor.
And as added tip, only strip the wax on your tile floors about once a year and they'll always look great!

Firefighters save dogs amid raging house fire
By Ana Ley : January 3, 2013 : Updated: January 4, 2013 12:44am
Photo By JOHN DAVENPORT/San Antonio Express-NewsSan Antonio fire officials talk inside of a home that caught on fire Wednesday August 28, 2013 shortly before 5:00 a.m. on the 4800 block of Lakewood on the city's East Side. Battalion Chief Connie Hall said the fire is being investigated by arson and that the fire caused about $120,000 in damage to the contents and structure. Nobody was injured during blaze.
San Antonio firefighters battling an early-morning blaze Thursday first had to get past two angry pit bulls that were chained in the front yard of the burning home and became even more aggressive when doused with water.
The fire erupted about 4:40 a.m. in a single-story house in the 1200 block of Florida Street on the East Side.
Battalion Chief Connie Hall said no people were inside the home at the time of the blaze, so crews partly focused their efforts on saving the animals.
"The dogs definitely hampered operations," Hall said. "That made it difficult, not being able to get through them. Plus, the heat was so bad. Regardless whether it's a puppy or a pit bull, they're going to be very upset."
A special crew was designated to keep the flames away from the animals while others extinguished the flames that fully engulfed the house.
The home's owner, whom Hall said lives there sporadically, arrived later and helped crews remove her pets from the property.
Hall said the house was a total loss. She estimated damages at $80,000 to $90,000.
Though the cause of the fire was unknown Thursday afternoon, Hall suspects it may have been electrical in nature.

The University of New Mexico men's golf team is off to a rough start to the 2007 Mountain West Conference Championships, shooting a 5-over par 289 in the first round. BYU leads the event at 12-under (272) at the Tucson National Golf Club in Tucson, Ariz. Freshman Kyle Nielsen was the only Lobo in red numbers today, carding a 1-under 70 on the par-71 Catalina Course. UNLV's Seung-su Han leads thee individual race at 6-under par (65).
Nielsen had a very steady round today, with a pair of birdies and one bogey, equaling his lowest round of the season. Senior Charlie Beljan shot a 1-over 72. He got off to a hot start with three birdies in his first five holes. However, double-bogeys on nine and 18 kept him from posting an under-par score on the day.
The normally steady sophomore Steve Saunders was up and down his entire back nine, finishing with a 73 in the first round. He went out in an even-par 35, but had three birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey on the back to post a 38 coming in. Junior Robb Bierbaum was steady throughout most of his round today, but a double-bogey on 18 left him with a 3-over 74. The Lobos gave up five shots overall on the final hole. Sophomore Parker Pemberton also played today, posting a 79.
The Lobos continue play the MWC Championships tomorrow at the Tucson National Golf Club. New Mexico will have to dig out of a 17-stroke hole to win its fifth-consecutive MWC title.

- How long does a head gasket last?

March 9, 2007, 5:42 pm
Hi I have a 94 Ford Escort 145,00 Km (85,000 Miles) live in
Vancouver BC Canada so really mild weather most of the year and I'm
wondering if anyone knows the average life of a headgasket.
Plus I hear that if the gasket go's I will have to replace the seats
and have the head shaved.
If I replace it now before it go's would I still have to to all the
extra work?
All answers would be appreciated Thanks

Re: How long does a head gasket last?
Depends on whether is was one of the gasket made after the government force
the gasket manufacturers to stop using asbestos without giving them time to
develop a suitable replacement material and whether you have on the engines
in a Toyota, GM, Ford, or Chrysler that used one that was made a material
that did not work well. Ho long will one last? I own '41,'64,'71,'72 and
'83 Fords vehicles that all still have the original head gaskets.
As to a 94, the gasket problem had been settled by then. If you are
concerned, check you coolant level weekly, if you notice a small be
consistent loss of coolant take it to a competent tech for pressure testing.
I the gasket is going bad it can be changed long before any damage will
occurs to the engine.

Head gasket problems on the Escort were becoming more rare by 1985. The
earlier 1.6 was almost notorious for blowing the gasket. Most owners
didn't recognize the symptoms before it was too late. In many cases this
lead to one or more overheating incidents followed by a warped or
cracked head. The junk yards in my area ran out of good heads that could
be rebuilt. IIRC, 1983 was a particularly bad year for this. When the
1.9 came out in the late 80's, the head gasket issue was pretty much over.
My 94' with the 1.9 had a tendency to let the engine temperature gauge
get up to at least 3/4-scale before the cooling fan came on, especially
when idling. I didn't feel comfortable with that, so I changed the fan
temp' switch. This made the fan come on well below 3/4-scale, which for
all I know, may have prevented a head gasket incident in later years.

Depends on a few things.
The major problem is keeping the car cool, keeping the head torqued to
its proper specs and good quality coolant. The extra work on seats is
minimal. It can be done by yourself if youre reasonably handy with tools.
200,000 KMS seems a proper figure to "pull" it. Then do the required
work. I would wait till it shows it has problems, but check the
compression, but it by itself doesnt mean much if its fairly even and it
runs OK.
Shaving the head is just to clean up any warps, but I know many people
who just replace the head gasket, do the valves and if the head is clean
and straight use a good quality head gasket and thats all folks.

On a 94 Escort it is not out of the ordinary for the original head
gasket to still be good when it hits the scrap yard with a few hundred
thousand KMs on it. However, OCCAISIONALLY they will drop a valve
seat. Occaisionally they will take out a head gasket. USUALLY theyblow
after overheating - and USUALLY they drop valve seats after
overheating. Every one I've seen with a blown head gasket had other
problems that contributed to the overheating so I SUSPECT the
headgasket was a reasult, not the primary cause. You DO need to
maintain the coolant pH so the rad doesn't corrode and loose
antifreeze, or lime up.
As for replacing it now, it MAY extend the life of the valve seats,
and you won't likely need to plane the head.
Often when the valve seats let go you end up with a SCRAP engine.

Freeride is a single-player mode that allows players to explore at their own pace (finally!). No clocks, score, riders or rules.
For those who haven't hit the slopes yet, best of all, the game is now $40 at retail. Which is not a bad deal given GameStop's used charge ($10 online pass is extra).
3-2-1-Go! Events and Freeride Game Modes Now Available as SSX Drops to $39.99 in
North America
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Aug. 7, 2012 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) announced today the availability of two new game modes as part of a free title update* for EA SPORTS™ SSX™.

Unlike the asynchronous competition found in Global Events, this new game mode will allow you to compete with up to five riders simultaneously in fast paced Trick it and Race it heats. The rules for 3-2-1-Go! Race Events are simple - the first rider to cross the finish line wins. 3-2-1-Go! Trick Events introduces a countdown timer for the entire run, so the winner is determined by who can post the highest score and cross the finish line before the clock hits zero.
One of the most requested modes from the SSX community, Freeride is a single player experience that allows you to endlessly explore every inch of the massive mountains of SSX at your own pace and with your own style. There are no rules, no ghosts, no clock, no score and no other riders. In Freeride, it is just you, the mountain and your music.
SSX by the numbers**:
· Players have dropped into the world of SSX more than 200 million times
· Players have completed 18 million runs in Global Events earning them more than 3.5 trillion credits
