By a show of hands, how many of your kids had a soccer game on Mother's Day? Wait! Let me ask this another way, how many of your kids did NOT have a soccer game on Mother's Day? Just as I thought — that was much easier to count. We parents learn early on that holidays are just more open days to hold soccer events. In fact, on Memorial Day weekend we are headed to a double tournament in Columbus, Ohio, which is just one of around 18 Memorial Day weekends we have spent cheering on the sidelines. I'm certain we have all sacrificed many a holiday or school break for soccer while struggling with the added dilemma of missing school to fulfill travel soccer obligations. Juggling the sanity of family with the demands of youth soccer and the additional demands of other activities, including several children's needs in the mix can create stress just when we should be relaxing.
We want soccer to be fun and that means fun for everyone in the family. Taking family vacation and holiday time to fulfill soccer obligations has to be balanced with those siblings who aren't playing. We were really lucky because both our sons played soccer and often attended the same tournaments, so the times we had to separate during vacations and holidays were few. Nevertheless, the pressure to march in line with the club's demands can put amazing stress on a family. Parents willingly sacrifice breakfast in bed on Mother's Day to get to an 8 a.m. game or forego a family barbeque on Father's Day. But our kids don't understand when all their friends are going to Disney World or to a resort on a lake for spring break, they're roaming the sidelines in Indianapolis while big sis has a tournament. Not exactly the warm and fuzzy family memories kids hope for. How do we balance our lives to provide not only those memories, but the competition our kids crave when they are passionate about soccer?
A really wonderful answer is to attend tournaments in vacation hotspots. Disney offers amazing tournaments that unfortunately are also very competitive to enter. Still, I always encourage clubs to give it a try. You never know when they will need one more U-14 boys team to round out the brackets. Applying isn't all that difficult and, if you aren't accepted, costs you nothing. Your club can research tournaments in the general vicinity of Orlando, even if you can't get into a Disney event. US Youth Soccer maintains a database of sanctioned tournaments where you can input the dates and locations you want to check on. Likewise, Soccer America has a database with search parameters. Inputting "soccer tournaments" into your search engine will produce dozens of options. If you can find a tournament that allows the family to vacation while competing, it's a win-win for everyone.
Finding a great tournament is one thing, but finding appropriate housing can be difficult. Our sons' club played in a Tampa area tournament every spring break. We were lucky to get a great deal with a golfing resort. The rooms were all apartments with full kitchens for less than we'd pay at a motel in the area. We got cut rates on greens fees, and the four amazing pools made great places for teams to gather and unwind. You can designate someone in your club to research hotels and resorts as there are often exceptional deals in off-seasons with large bookings. You could possibly score rooms in otherwise far too exclusive resorts and hotels. Tournaments will generally help by providing a list of hotels, although on the downside, some may demand that you book through them. You'll have to be creative to avoid the requirements, but it can be done. An advantage of an entire club at the same tournaments is that families can easily travel together. Bryce and Robbie both played throughout their youth years in clubs that sent multiple teams to tournaments. That policy also helps with the coaching situations saving money on coach travel and housing and allowing coaches to help one another out when scheduling conflicts arise.
I've written before about researching the area where you are traveling for a tournament and finding family activities for the off-times. Most tournaments are held in metropolitan areas, so you can avail yourself of museums, sports teams, malls and theaters. We've been able to visit a dozen MLB parks over the course of our soccer journeys, interesting museums, and some unusual natural sites like a dinosaur field in Denver, Indian mounds in La Crosse, and caves in Kentucky. You can use your travels to explore different ethnic restaurants and communities. We've eaten Hungarian, Ethiopian, Moroccan and Mongolian on our trips. Not all were hits, but they certainly made solid memories. Just finding a hotel with a good pool, fitness center and/or game room can make a big difference to those siblings who aren't playing. Bonding with families on other club teams means that you might be able to leave kids behind in their care and reciprocate later in the day when they need help.
This is also a good plan for overall participation. We wanted to attend all our kids' games, but realistically that can't always happen. Picking some games and trips to opt out of in favor of the other children in the family can help ease the resentment that "it's always about soccer." We often brought along teammates on our trips to help out their families. Because we were lucky enough to have both our kids in the same sport at the same tournaments, we didn't often have the conflicts of family time vs. soccer time. So we were happy to help out and more than willing to take others up on their offer to do the same if we needed it. As the boys got older, we ended up renting two hotel rooms — one for grown-ups and one for the kids — which was as much for our sanity as for modesty. We never ran into anyone taking advantage of the situation by sneaking out or bringing in illegal substances, but that's probably because Bryce and Robbie weren't shy about disapproving and the kids we brought along weren't really the rebel type. Having guests with us actually made our trips smoother as we were all on good behavior and conversations during meals ended up being lively and engaging. One tournament we went to a restaurant that served all kinds of unusual foods like gator bites, frog legs, snails, rattlesnake, bison burgers and pickled sea urchin. We ordered some of each and had lots of great laughs as the boys around the table tried (or refused to try) each delicacy. We probably wouldn't have done that with just our kids, but having three additional "victims" emboldened us to order freely.
When it comes to missing school, the issues get murky. Even great students can fall behind missing just a few days of instruction. Each family has to decide for itself what works and what won't work. The difficulty is that as teams become more diverse and don't just include kids from the same community, you open yourself up to various vacation schedules. Spring break for some teammates doesn't coincide with the break for others. Therefore, clubs will commit to tournaments that may or may not mesh with your child's days off. We hope that clubs will be flexible and understand the need to meet the expectations of education over the requirements of soccer. Unfortunately, some clubs can be very dogmatic about kids attending events or they risk being benched. This makes it imperative that at tryouts you find out what the tournament or league game schedules will be and how well they mesh with the school calendar, along with establishing what will be the consequences for missing a team event in favor of school. School isn't the only consideration. There can be other important conflicts such as confirmation, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, significant religious holidays (often Yom Kippur and Easter can be interrupted by soccer), and commitments to other activities like 4H or drama club. Since most kids aren't going to go on to college or pro, and many won't even play high school soccer, it seems unhealthy to focus solely on soccer. I take commitment quite seriously, but I also consider a happy childhood as important. We parents should never be afraid to err on the side of normalcy when it comes to conflicts.
In the end, we want our children to look back on their youth as a happy, fulfilling time. When they are passionate about soccer, giving up holidays and vacations to attend soccer events might not be particularly unpleasant. But for the other family members, those disruptions might be frustrating and miserable. We need to keep in mind that no one individual's activities should continually overshadow any other individual's activities. We can't be perfect, but we can certainly try to find a balance. Sending our soccer kids in the company of other families or with club chaperones can help us give attention to our other kids. When we do take the family to soccer events, we may be missing a trip to Disney, but we might also find an adventure that will be far more priceless and memorable. It's how we invest in the experience that enriches it for our clan.

Do you remember Freddy Adu? He's the phenomenal youth player who, at age 14, became the youngest player to earn an MLS contract in 2003. For the next five years things went well for him. He played a significant role with D.C. United and Real Salt Lake before being picked up by Benefica in Portugal. But at the ripe old age of 19, he began to see his soccer career unravel. He was loaned out to four lower tier European teams with minimal success, then returned to the MLS in 2011, playing two seasons with the Philadelphia Union. Bahia in Brazil picked him up, but he made just two appearances. His time on the U.S. Men's National Team extended from 2006 to 2011, with only 17 appearances. He was off the squad all of 2010, which was a World Cup year. Presently, he is training with Blackpool F.C., which is a second-tier English team, but the side decided against offering him a contract. He's had overtures from the NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks but is hoping for a European team to pick him up.
His story is one of the cautionary tales that come from youth sports. Parents hear about someone like Adu, and we may immediately begin comparing our own child against the big news. These unusual players create the belief that the brass ring of playing professionally sits just outside our child's reach. With the right break, continued on-field success and the proper exposure, our kid could be the next Sporting News headline. The question is: Do we really want this to all come so soon? Adu had and undoubtedly still has exceptional talent. But once he signed a contract, his life switched from developing those talents to exercising them solely for the profit of team owners. When he ceased providing that profit, either through assisting a winning season or drawing fans with publicity, he ceased being relevant in the sport he loves. Two of my grandsons will be 14 this year and I can't imagine either one of them capable of handling the pressures of being on a pro team. They would be out of their element as it relates to family, peers and age-appropriate social life. There are some rare kids who can step into that arena, but when we look at them years later we can see the toll it took on their lives. Just consider all the child actors who have imploded.
Too often parents have the mistaken impression that the window of opportunity to make the top echelons of soccer is small and comes really early in a player's growth. This perception gets fed by YouTube videos, media reports and rumors. We can watch young players juggle a ball 200 times with lots of trick moves or 10-year-olds dodging adult players on the way to scoring a goal. We wonder if perhaps we should be promoting our own children showcasing their skills for the world to see on the off-chance they will catch a scout's eye. Certainly, even if we aren't pushing our pre-teens into a pro career, we do end up needing to publicize them when it comes to college recruiting. Therefore, navigating the waters of soccer exposure becomes justified. We know we have to do it, so why not do it earlier? We might just hit the jackpot.
According to research done by Georgia State University and NCAA statistics, the chances of a high school soccer player eventually becoming a professional player is .08 percent, which is eight players out of 100,000 or one in 12,500. To put that into perspective, a team of 22 players will have someone go pro every 568 seasons. Even spreading this out among all the high schools in your city, you're still looking at one every 30 to 40 seasons at best in the entire community. Our children would not only have to be the best out of 12,500 players at their age level, but also be lucky enough to be scouted and selected. Signing as a pro doesn't insure someone will play as a pro. Lots of players get the call but only few hang on to the contract. A friend's nephew, B.J. Tucker, was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys out of Wisconsin in 2003. He went in the sixth round (178th overall) because in addition to his football skills, he ran track. His speed earned him a nod, but only a nod. He bumped around the NFL, joining the rosters of four different teams between August and September in 2003 alone. His only playing time came through the Seahawks when he was loaned to an NFL Europe team. Otherwise, he was either on practice squads or simply released. In 2008, he was signed by the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League with limited special teams play. He's "retired" now without much savings. He had promise but couldn't turn that into a contract. His story is the one most young athletes face even when drafted by a pro team.
Then there is Freddy Adu, who achieved the dream only to see it disappear all too quickly. We can speculate on what happened. Perhaps he was too young, perhaps he didn't get big enough to sustain his power on the field, perhaps he was excellent for a 14-year-old but not so special for a 20-year-old, or perhaps he burned out — unable to handle the pressure to succeed. Whatever happened, it happens to many a young player. Unfortunately for Freddy, his world-wide fame made his struggles very public, another burden for him to shoulder. His celebrity also contributes to his inability to make the best choices for his future. Having played at the top levels for years, including going to the 2008 Olympics, it's demoralizing for him to find himself starting over at a lesser level of pro soccer. His career won't be helped by riding the bench on a top European team although it will soothe his ego. He needs playing time and further development to find his professional footing. I've always said that kids should play on the best team where they will be a starter. That's a difficult choice for parents and their children who favor status over development. However, I can offer scores of examples of youth players who didn't play on the top team in their community then went on to play at a junior college transferring to a Division I school and earning an invite to the MLS combine. Everyone develops on a different schedule. What matters is being the fittest, most developed player when the scouts are watching. Youth players can grow into that position, most likely not at 14 and possibly not even at 20, but if they have passion they can fight to move into the professional ranks.
I can use my oldest son as an example. He played on a lackluster youth team, but as a goalkeeper, weak defense afforded him opportunities to showcase his talents, which he did at the Dallas Cup just four months before his first year of college. He had despaired of being able to play college soccer since only one school had shown interest, but he did not feel comfortable when he visited. However, from his performance at the Dallas Cup (actually from one game there) he was recruited at truly the last minute to play in San Francisco. Then he struggled during his college career, eventually transferring to UW-Milwaukee. Once his eligibility ran out, he bounced around playing for adult teams in the Milwaukee area, until, using all the networking he could muster, he got himself a chance to practice with the pro indoor team. At the end of this season, he was signed for the last month and a half. It's a start for him. Whether it will result in bigger options, who knows. He didn't make the splash of a Freddy Adu, but he's in a position to advance. Achieving a professional career has as much to do with passion for the sport as it does with athleticism and skill. To make himself stand out, he has to work on his fitness constantly, not just during team practices, do daily training in drills and practice kicks, and he keeps up with what is going on in the world of soccer, always looking for openings.
When we think of soccer superstars, we are looking at the top 20 players in the world. Their level of success involved some luck and lots of hard work, not to mention innate athletic abilities. Some of the stars began blazing at a young age, some later. Parents need to understand how unusual and difficult it is to make it to the top. As parents, we can't isolate some accomplishment from our child's soccer history as proof that they have what it takes to go pro. In Robbie's first high school game, he fired a bullet shot from 35 yards out over the head of the keeper into the back of the net. He never again duplicated that shot, but he played in college with a teammate who did it regularly. Robbie's hallmark skill became dribbling down to the corner and making really dangerous crossing shots or passes that goalkeepers had difficulty handling. However, that skill wasn't fully developed until early in his college years. Despite his speed and agility, which might get him a pro tryout, he's opted to fill out his med school applications and move onto the next phase of his life. He'd been down that "you can be a star" road already. When he was 14, he was invited to try out for the Youth National Team. He broke his foot the week before the tryout but went anyway. About three days into the event, the coach came to him and said, "Boyd, I thought you were fast." Robbie explained about his foot, but no one cared. He had to perform at his top level right then and he couldn't. I wonder what we would have done had he been invited to join the National Pool. How would we have balanced the excellent education he was getting at the Catholic high school in Milwaukee against the possibility of making a National Team roster? Two years after his tryout, one of his high school teammates made the pool and left school to train in Bradenton. Within a year he was released, but he couldn't transfer back to the high school, so he finished out his education in Florida and then went to play for George Washington University.
Robbie's story, his teammate's story, Bryce's story and Freddy Adu's story are all similar. Freddy went the furthest, but he doesn't have a college degree and, not yet 25-years-old, doesn't have a team. Robbie will go to medical school, his teammate has a job in finance, Bryce has about one more year to try and make it as a pro before he has to switch to a more traditional career, and Freddy is hoping (without a basis in reality) to get back in the U.S. National Team picture. Dreams are important, fame is fabulous, and success feels wonderful, but in the world of sports, all of that can be fleeting. We do best by our children not to overcommit them to a life of striving for athletic honors. Yes, our sports figures are idolized unlike someone who cures polio or negotiates peace settlements, but the latter have a far more significant impact on the world despite being achieved without the rabid groupies and lucrative endorsements. The names of team power players may hang from the upper decks and rafters of arenas, but the real fame is found in those who make an indelible difference in the quality of our lives.

SURVIVE Infinite Dangers -- The Family Survival Guide of 21st Century Dangers
by Gary Yantis
Kindle Edition: 221 pages
List Price:
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
FINALLY, a 'survivalist" book written for the average suburbanite whose most dangerous task in life until now has been doing battle with crab grass. This book is not meant for the experienced outdoors type who enjoys solitary months "living off the land" in the backwoods of Alaska but, instead, is meant for people who are more at home at "camp Marriott"; someone who enjoys a walk in the park followed by a few hours in a hot tub. The author fits that description so this book was easy to write from first-person experience! You will not find instructions on which bug parts are edible or how to live in a dirt dug-out cave for a few years.
Most people just want to know (1) "what are these "dangers" in SIMPLE terms and (2) how do I best protect my family and others who join my group? You want information to tell you which disasters are not worth worrying about (that the media just scares viewers with for ratings) and which ones may be world changing. You won't remember everything you read in this book but, keeping it handy, you will have a quick reference guide when a bulletin appears on a TV or radio station with "important information". It could be anything from something that may lead to your life totally changing to something that won't even be in the newspaper tomorrow. But you'll probably have no idea as newscasters seem to love to repeat long scientific words given them by their producers. They also have no idea if it is important or not but they know to make it sound important!
People don't want to spend hundreds of hours reading becoming an expert on every subject these media "talking heads" banter about. You don't need to! You have no idea and you really don't care. I've done all that for you in this book. All of these newly invented man-made "Infinite Dangers" that are easy to protect against make up at least 95% of the man-made dangers that didn't exist twenty or even ten years ago. What exactly is "Infinite Dangers? Simple! Anything seriously dangerous to you and your family and/or group as well as a community, city, state, country or even the world! While the author is not an expert in survivalism, the information contained in this book comes from many expert sources and has been reviewed by experts for completeness and accuracy.
This book is more like 5,000 pages in length. Maybe even 50,000 if you count the contents of ALL the Web sites mentioned. No, that is not a typo. You'll notice extensive mentions of Web sites. Why waste paper in this book to convey knowledge that is already extensively covered within many Internet sites. The Web sites referenced convey far more information than I could ever write in this book. They provide more detail and more information than I could jam into this book unless you want to buy a 5,000 page book printed in very small type. In fact, this book could be a six page list of small type Web sites except you wouldn't know which sites are most important and you wouldn't know what to do with the information. Thus, consider this your "reference book" that either has the information you need within this book, Web addresses of the sites that have the needed information or titles of other books you may wish to buy.
Unlike many books on the subject of surviving and living through disasters from minor short-term local ones to worldwide long-term disasters near the stage of Armageddon, this book does not divide chapters into specific disasters (both by nature and manmade) such as earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, terrorist attacks, nuclear radiation, pandemics, anarchy and a hundred other specific dangers but, instead, assumes that 90% of preparation and survival of all disasters is essentially the same. It does not waste time repeating the same information chapter after chapter. IF YOU PREPARED FOR EVERYTHING, YOU ARE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING.

Imelda Hernandez was in Superior Court June 19 asking that her $50,000 bond be reduced to $40,000, as were the bonds of two of her co-defendants. Superior Court Judge Hugh Wingfield granted that request.
District Attorney Wright Barksdale said he objected to the reduction because Hernandez is from south Atlanta and has no ties to the community. He said she came into Jones County with over 40 grams of methamphetamine with plans to sell it.
Hernandez was represented by public defender Sean Brodie.
The defendant has been incarcerated since her Jan. 28 arrest with three other individuals, also charged with trafficking.
A story about the arrest of the defendants in The Jones County News states the Jan. 28 arrests were actually a follow-up from a previous case.

The Cuero winner let the computer chose his numbers with quick pick, and chose the cash value option. The ticket was sold by the Stripes on E. Morgan Ave. in Cuero.
Even though no winner has claimed the ticket, the Stripes store which sold it received a check for more $360,000 on July 18, according to the Lottery Commission.
Retailers that sell the winning ticket in the Lotto Texas game receive the greater of either one percent of the jackpot or one percent of the jackpot based on sales, up to $500,000, according to the Texas Lottery Commisison.
Winners in the Lotto Texas game have up to 180 days to claim their prize. Last month, a Lotto Texas jackpot estimated at $12 million from a Jan. 1 drawing was left unclaimed after the 180th day passed on June 30. That ticket was sold by the South Shore Shell in League City, just outside of Houston.
Last year, members of the Texas House voted to eliminate the state's lottery before reversing itself. On Thursday, House Speaker Joe Straus, R- San Antonio, announced members of a committee to explore eliminating the lottery.
"(T)he House had a healthy and productive discussion about the Texas Lottery last year, and this committee will continue that discussion," said Straus in a statement.

The prices of oil, gold, and other commodities spiked at midyear. High fuel prices and tight credit markets devastated American automakers and pressured airlines and aircraft manufacturers. The credit-market crisis also embroiled the financial sector and utilities and contributed to a slumping economy.
The American automotive industry began 2008 in precarious condition, and as the year unfolded, the situation went from bad to worse. First, gasoline prices of $3.50 to $4 per gallon throughout much of the United States during the spring and summer of 2008 crushed the already-declining demand for sport-utility vehicles (SUVs), pickup trucks, and minivans. Then the credit markets dried up, which affected both automakers, whose borrowing costs spiked, and consumers, who faced tighter lender standards and a reduction in available leases. In June alone, automobile sales in the U.S. fell 18% year on year, and in October they fell 31.9%. By late in the year, facing the prospect of running out of cash, the heads of the Big Three automakers testified before the U.S. Congress to request billions of dollars in government-provided loans to stay afloat. Although the Senate turned down the companies, in mid-December U.S. Pres. George W. Bush drew on a fund primarily intended to help bail out the financial sector to provide General Motors and Chrysler up to $17.4 billion in emergency loans with strict conditions, such as a requirement to cut labour costs. Ford, in the best financial shape of the Big Three companies, opted not to take any federal assistance, but it supported the loans since a failure of either GM or Chrysler would also threaten Ford's suppliers. The ongoing worldwide economic crisis helped push vehicle sales in the U.S. down more than 35% in December year on year, and total sales for 2008 were the lowest in about 50 years.
Although Ford experienced record quarterly losses on the heels of a $2.7 billion loss in 2007, it had a line of credit of about $11 billion that it had negotiated in 2006, and in March 2008 Ford completed the sale of its Jaguar and Land Rover units to India's Tata Motors, which netted Ford $2.3 billion. CFO Don Leclair and two board members abruptly left Ford in October, which suggested to analysts that the Ford family (which controlled 40% of shareholder votes) was attempting to tighten control over the automaker.
Since the late 1990s General Motors had bet heavily on the SUV for its profits, so when the sale of SUVs collapsed, GM was left stranded. In late 2007 its primary SUV plant, in Janesville, Wis., produced 20,000 SUVs per month, but a year later the monthly output was only about 3,000 SUVs, and the plant was slated to be closed. GM posted a loss of $15.5 billion in the second quarter, and by late in the year the company was losing cash at a pace of more than $1 billion per month. Although GM stood to gain from wage-and-benefit concessions that were negotiated with the United Auto Workers in 2007, those cuts would not take effect until 2010. After preliminary merger discussions with Ford collapsed in September, GM considered merging with its other Big Three rival, Chrysler. The deal would in theory create a new automaker with $250 billion in annual revenue, a 30% share of the American market, and—most important—about $30 billion in cash reserves. It would also likely entail massive layoffs and downsizing, since GM and Chrysler had several overlapping brands and competing production facilities. The proposed merger soon hit a wall, however, when GM and Cerberus Capital Management, Chrysler's owner, said that they were unable to find investors and banks to provide financing for the deal. As GM struggled to become profitable, it received the first $4 billion of its federal assistance on December 31.
For Chrysler the proposed GM merger came when it also was running out of options. The automaker, which Cerberus had acquired in the spring of 2007, had cut production costs in anticipation of a market slowdown in 2008. The breadth of the market's collapse, however, left Chrysler reeling, and the company said that it would lay off 25% of its white-collar employees by the end of the year. Over the first eight months of 2008, Chrysler lost $400 million as sales slipped by 24%. In September Cerberus approached Chrysler's former owner, Daimler, about purchasing Daimler's remaining 19.9% stake in Chrysler, and it later entered into negotiations with Japan's Nissan and France's Renault to form a manufacturing and development alliance, but no agreements were reached. Chrysler announced in mid-December that it was idling all 30 of its North American manufacturing plants for at least a month to save cash, and at year's end the company anticipated soon receiving its initial $4 billion of federal assistance.
Japanese automaker Toyota profited from the stumbles of its American rivals and was set to outsell GM for the year and become the world's largest automaker. Through June Toyota sold about 300,000 more vehicles than GM worldwide. Nevertheless, Toyota was far from immune to the collapse of the American market, and in December its vehicle sales in the U.S. were down almost 37%. By the end of the year Toyota forecast that it would report its first-ever annual operating loss.
Thanks to sales of passenger cars such as the Civic and Accord sedans, Honda's sales in the U.S. were up 1.7% in the first eight months of 2008, but by year's end it also had recorded a decline in sales, with a drop of 8.2% for the year.
Many European carmakers were hit with declining revenue as buyer demand worsened in the second half of the year. France's Peugeot-Citroën experienced a 5.2% drop in its third-quarter sales and said that it would slash its European car production by 30%. Sweden's Volvo's net profit fell 37% in the third quarter, and the company noted that it had almost as many order cancellations as it did new orders.
The most dramatic growth potential in terms of new-car production and sales was in India and China. India swiftly emerged as a major production hub for small cars, including the Nano, introduced by Tata Motor's chairman, Ratan Tata, in January. Among the manufacturers that were operating plants in India were Nissan and Suzuki from Japan and Hyundai from South Korea. In China overall car sales rose 7.3% for the year to about 6.8 million. China's passenger-car sales shot up 24% in March alone, after foreign automakers introduced 13 new models in the first quarter. In three years China's domestic car sales had expanded by more than half.

Over the years, I have run with many different car audio companies. When I first got into Car Audio (1990), I wanted to try everything on the market. I soon found out that there are certain items to stay clear from, and others that you need to have in any of your setups.
Audio Control is one of the companies that I simply can not do without. I remember my first product from them back in the day. The Epicentre. What A mind blowing processor. I had a pair of 15" subs being run by a classic Phoenix Gold M series amp. Those things pounded out 145 without much effort.
Today I am reviewing the Audio Control EQS. I ordered it a couple of weeks back and just installed it this past weekend. Man, what a huge difference. Cleans up the signal, strengthens it, and give me control of how much of it goes where.
I was in love with my new system before I ordered the EQS. I also knew how much more I would be in love with it once I installed the EQS. Worlds apart in difference.
I am able to run high output without needing to raise the gains on either Amplifier. I brought my car into my local Audio Control dealer and had them tune the car. My car sounds mint. so much definition in my front sounds stage and my rear fill sounds perfect. I would recommend Audio control gear to anyone that wants to have their already sweet system go to the next level of Awesome!

U.S. Accepts Stunning Gift of LandAugust 27, 2010 - 6:36 PM | by: Molly Line
The U.S. government has agreed to accept a stunning gift of land along Vermont's border with Canada after red tape and confusion about which entity should oversee the property stalled progress for years.
The decision meets a September 1st deadline put in place by the trust of Michael Dunn, an art lover and conservationist who died in 2007, leaving 420 pristine acres on the shores of Lake Memphremagog to the U.S. government on the condition the land be made available for public use.
See the press release below…
Press Release:
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service accepts
donation of Dunn property in Derby, Vermont
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has officially agreed to acquire the Michael Dunn property in Derby, Vt., as the Eagle Point Unit of Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, based in Swanton, in accordance with the terms of the Michael Dunn Trust. The 420-acre parcel, located on the shore of Lake Memphremagog, was offered to the federal government as a donation by the Trust.
The property consists of wetland, upland and lakeshore habitats and supports a diversity of wildlife species. It also offers wildlife-oriented public use opportunities.
The Service is developing a cooperative agreement with Vermont's Agency of Natural Resources' Department of Fish and Wildlife for long-term management of the property in a manner similar to a wildlife management area.
Public use activities – hiking, limited primitive camping, fishing access, hunting and wildlife observation – will be more fully available once the Service takes title to the property and a management agreement with Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is completed. Until then, the public's traditional use of the property while under Mr. Dunn's stewardship will continue.
The real estate transaction to transfer the property is under way, and will be completed by year's end.
The Vermont congressional delegation applauded the agreement.
Sen. Patrick Leahy said, "Securing this treasured piece of Vermont for Vermonters, forever, and at no cost to taxpayers is the conservation and recreational opportunity of a lifetime on Lake Memphremagog. I thank the Dunn family, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Vermont Land Trust, and the Agency of Natural Resources for making it happen. Michael Dunn has left a perpetual legacy to be enjoyed by generations to come."
Sen. Bernie Sanders said, "This generous donation of land along the shore will go a long way in both conserving the wildlife habitat around Lake Memphremagog and allowing greater public use of treasured woodlands. Vermont's forests and lakes have always been vital to our economy and critical to our character as a state. I am very pleased that by working together with local, federal and state partners, we have protected this beautiful and valuable natural resource for users today and for generations to come."
"Throughout this process, public input has been critical in the discussion and the ultimate decision to go forward with this property transfer," Rep. Peter Welch said. "Hearing from local officials, property owners, state representatives and the general public it became clear that preserving public access to this land was important to all those involved. This decision does that and ensures future generations will continue to enjoy the recreational opportunities of this unique property for years to come."
Michael Dunn was a native of Montreal who emigrated to the family property in the 1970s with his family and later became an American citizen. He was active in local affairs and served as a selectman in Derby in the 1990s. He passed away in 2007. He left most of the property to the U.S. and Canadian governments for conservation and the use of the public, and he made substantial donations to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Acquiring this property has been a collaborative conservation effort between several public and private organizations. Working in partnership with the Vermont Land Trust, Community Financial Services Group (Trustee of the Michael Dunn Trust) and Vermont's Agency of Natural Resources, the Service prepared a draft environmental assessment and solicited public comment on the proposed donation. More than 175 comments were received. A property tour and public meeting were held. The Service carefully reviewed and considered all comments.
The Service prepared a final EA, and the Service's Northeast Regional Director Marvin Moriarty approved the project, completing the National Environmental Policy Act process. The final EA can be found at http://www.fws.gov/northeast/planning/eaglepoint.
The Service has declined acceptance of a 10-acre lakefront tract with several structures that was part of the Dunn property. The trustee will handle disposition of the parcel. Farmstead buildings on the property the Service is acquiring will be removed prior to transfer to the federal government.

There appear to be many reasons to be concerned about how the thousands
of condominium units within condo hotel projects are being sold to the end
buyers of those units. There are numerous reports of activities that raise
buyer expectations of appreciation in value and return on investment. Perhaps
the developer's sales force or the third-party sales force is simply not
adequately trained for the task. Perhaps basing compensation on sales commissions
is not the wisest way to sell in the condo hotel context. Perhaps there
is a lack of understanding "at the top" about the difference between the
sale of real estate and the sale of securities as the SEC currently sees
it. But it does appear, without looking too hard or too deep into the matter,
that not everyone playing in the condo hotel arena has learned how tricky
the sales program can be.
The outright sale of the unit is not all that hard if the buyer is truly
interested in the deal as the purchase of real estate, often as a second
or vacation home. The buyer may enjoy the appeal of owning something with
high-end amenities where he or she can vacation during the year and a manager
or operator will have responsibility for renting the unit at all other times.
The potential income from the rental of the unit and the potential appreciation
in value is beneficial but not the primary motivation for the purchase.
The complexity builds when the buyer is interested in the deal because of
its investment nature, the potential annual returns from the rental of the
unit and the long term appreciation in value to be realized upon a future
sale. That starts to look like a "security," which would be fine if the
project was registered as a security, which most domestic condominium projects
are not, and, therefore, are required to be sold as real estate.
So, how does our current understanding of the law impact the issue of
condo sales in condo hotels. The SEC has said that it will take "no action,"
which is as close as you can get to the idea that what is being sold is
not a security, in the following instances:
These are relatively clear guidelines. Particularly the first concept,
that there is no emphasis on the economic benefits to be gained by the owner
of the condominium unit from the efforts of a third party, such as the operator
or manager of the condominium project. Remember that in the condo hotel
context, the condominium project will be within a hotel or resort. This
means that care and caution are called for in each condo hotel transaction
to construct a sales program that is presented to the public as the chance
to buy real estate.
"…the real world is upside down from what is intended
to occur under the SEC rules and the no action letters."
Many sales presentations and programs seem to engage in precisely the
conduct that is to be avoided. Perhaps this is because many, if not most,
potential buyers of condo hotels (but certainly not all) are buying for
all of the wrong reasons (in terms of SEC concepts). Buyers are lured to
one project over another because of the name recognition and strength of
the manager, since it is the manager and its reservation system that will
yield room nights and income for the buyer. Buyers are looking for a place
to "invest" their capital, and real estate, in the form of a condo hotel,
is available and accessible. Buyers do believe that they will have a positive
net cash flow from the ownership of the unit, further augmented by appreciation
in the value of the unit looking forward to the ultimate sale of the unit.
In very simple terms, the real world is upside down from what is intended
to occur under the SEC rules and the no action letters.
Good question. Since this business model has not progressed through a
complete cycle and we have very few "booms" and "busts" to look at, we are
left with trying to develop some practices to follow. The general sense
seems to be that condominium developers and managers, particularly the national
brands or "flags," need to develop a record of the sales process and the
subsequent sale of the rental program. Buyer disclosures, acknowledgements
and releases may or may not be a "safe harbor" when things get interesting,
but it is certainly a wise idea to have as much information as possible,
including statements from the buyer, indicating that the buyer bought the
property as real estate, without emphasis on the economic benefits that
might arise, and without reliance upon third-party management. We are all
watching and waiting, but we should be actively waiting and looking for
ways to protect ourselves and our clients for that day when, disappointed
by the net rental income from the unit and the lack of resale opportunities,
condo hotel buyers raise the issue of the underlying transaction as the
sale of an unregistered security rather than the sale of real estate.

I added these video files to the iTunes library with the "Copy to iTunes Music Folder" unchecked...that way it pulls each file from the external HD as it needs it. My Apple TV streams it all just fine. I still have it set to sync the newest TV episodes so I can watch Apple TV without my computer being turned on.
In short, an external HD and the aforementioned way of adding files from there to iTunes may be a better solution to your problem than upgrading to the 160 GB model and hacking it for direct network access...cheaper too.

New Yorkers @ The Rhone Group in Liverpool Takeover Bid
The News of the World newspaper in England are reporting that Liverpool could be set for a £100 Million takeover bid with cash injection and the current debt cleared and the newanfield stadium to be finally built.
Sky Sports News and the BBC are also covering the story.
the club has lined up a spectacular deal with the Rhone Group - reported to be worth £3billion - to dilute the controversial ownership of Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
The New York-based private equity firm have begun due diligence with a view to buying around a 40 per cent stake in the club. The £100m deal would see controlling interest pass to billionaire financiers Robert Agostinelli and Steven Langman.
If the deal goes through it would repay the club's Royal Bank of Scotland debt and enable work to begin on the £350m new stadium. There would also be considerable investment in the transfer market. That would then allow potential new owners to install their own man at the Liverpool helm.
Managing director Christian Purslow has been scouring the globe to meet a summer deadline to repay £100m of a £237m debt to RBS.
There is still interest from India, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait but the Rhone Group are seen as the most viable proposition in the market.
Founded by Agostinelli and Langman in 1996, the Rhone Group describes itself as 'one of the world's leading mid-market private equity firms'.
They specialise in mergers, acquisitions and leveraged buy-outs and have offices in New York, London and Paris.
The new Americans would take a controlling interest, leaving Hicks and Gillett with around a 30 per cent stake each.
The Rhone Group's co- founder Agostinelli, 56, is an Italian-American executive based in Paris who lists former US President George W Bush and current French President Nicolas Sarkozy amongst his friends. His high-flying wife, Mathilda, runs the French office of Prada and was a witness at Sarkozy's secret wedding to Carla Bruni.
Agnostinelli and Langman, 48, have worked together at several top Wall St firms before setting up the Rhone Group 14 years ago.

Graham Holdings Company (formerly The Washington Post Company) is a diversified American conglomerate, best known for formerly owning the newspaper for which it was once named, The Washington Post, and Newsweek.
Its holdings include the online magazine Slate, Graham Media Group (formerly Post-Newsweek Stations), a group of five large-market television stations, higher education publisher Kaplan, and Trove (formerly WaPo Labs)—the developers of a news reader app. Graham Holdings Company also owned cable television and internet service provider Cable One until it was spun off in 2015.
Corporate history[edit]
Graham Holdings Company history dates back to 1877, when the Post was first published. The Washington Post Company was incorporated in the District of Columbia in 1889,[2] and remained a District of Columbia corporation until it changed its place of incorporation to Delaware in 2003.[3] It is a public company and its Class B common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GHC; it went public in 1971. It is headquartered in Washington, D.C.
Descendents of the late Eugene Meyer (including Chairman and CEO Donald E. Graham, his sister Lally Weymouth, and the beneficiaries of various family trusts) collectively control the company through their ownership of the unlisted Class A common stock that selects 70% of the company's board of directors; prior to 2014 Berkshire Hathaway was a substantial holder of the public Class B common stock that selects 30% of the company's board of directors, but exchanged most of that stock for WPLG-TV, one of Graham Holdings' television stations, and other assets, in March 2014.
2013 sale of The Washington Post[edit]
On August 5, 2013 it was announced that the Washington Post Company would sell the flagship newspaper for $250 million to Jeff Bezos, founder and chief executive of Amazon.com. The Washington Post Company agreed to adopt a new corporate name once the sale was finalized. It adopted Graham Holdings Company as the new name effective November 29, 2013.[4] Amazon.com was not involved in the sale.[5] Nash Holdings LLC, a company owned by Bezos, closed the purchase of the newspaper and affiliated publications on October 1, 2013.[6][7] Graham Holdings Company retained ownership of WaPo Labs, its technology innovation group,[8] since rebranded as Trove.
Kaplan, Inc. is one of the world's largest providers of educational services. Kaplan focuses on three areas: higher education, professional training, and test preparation. Headquartered in New York City, Kaplan had $2.2 billion in revenue in 2013.[9] It was formerly Graham Holdings Company's fastest growing division and remains its largest revenue producer.
StudentAdvisor.com is the latest education resource launched by Graham Holdings Company. StudentAdvisor.com is an education research (reviews written by students, alumni, and parents) and comparison destination (tools to download and compare multiple colleges) for students, parents, and lifetime learners.
Through its Graham Media Group subsidiary (formerly Post-Newsweek Stations),[10] Graham Holdings owns a group of five television stations. Based in Detroit, Graham Media Group is led by chief executive officer Emily L. Barr.
Stations are arranged in alphabetical order by state and city of license.

Cable ONE is an Internet and cable television provider based in the Phoenix, Arizona, area serving over 730,000 customers in 19 states.
In November 2014, Graham Holdings said it would spin off Cable ONE as a separate, publicly traded company in 2015.[11] The spin off was completed on July 1st, 2015.[12]
Graham Holdings Company also owns three firms active in various capacities on the World Wide Web. These include The Slate Group, which publishes Slate, Slate V, The Root, and ForeignPolicy.com.[13] Graham Holdings Company also owns SocialCode, an advertising agency specializing in Facebook and Twitter marketing.
In October 2012, the firm purchased Celtic Healthcare Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Celtic Healthcare, based in Pennsylvania, provides home health care in western, central, and northeastern Pennsylvania as well as Montgomery and Baltimore County, Maryland. It also provides home hospice services in the same areas, as well as owns a 10-bed inpatient hospice in Dunmore, Pennsylvania.[14]
Energy production[edit]
In July 2013, Graham Holdings purchased Forney Corp. for an undisclosed sum. The company, which is based in Addison, Texas, manufactures equipment that monitors and controls the combustion of coal, natural gas, and other materials. This equipment is sold to electric utilities for use in power generation plants.[15]

Your Comprehensive Waste Management Open Guide
It's Waste Management Open week, and for a guy that lives in Scottsdale, and has for the past few years, it is my one chance to "host" the golfing world. Here are a few pointers on the week; what to do, see, eat, play and some inside notes on the tournament. Read on ...
Where Should You Stay?
This question comes with a few answers, but most of that depends on what you like and how old you are. If you're between the ages of 21-28 and enjoy nightlife, the place to be is in the Old Town Scottsdale area. That is where the nightlife will be exciting for the entire week, and where the young people will be having a good time.
You can always get a room at the Phoenician, but if you're looking to be a bit more thrifty, there is a great Courtyard Marriott just south of Old Town, and a Holiday Inn Express right next to it. Both are great locations where you can walk to bars and restaurants, and both leave you only about 15 minutes from the golf tournament.
If you're a little older, and want a more quiet experience that is closer to the tournament, you can crash up by TPC. Kierland is a nice spot, with a ton to do in their shopping district next door called Kierland Commons, and the crowd is a bit more mature and established.
Where Should You Eat?
For Sports Bars, I'll give you the following options:
Blue 32 -- A new spot on Indian Bend and Scottsdale Rd. (about 10 minutes from golf), this sports bar has good food and incredible televisions. It is one of the few sports bars I've been to where you can see a good TV from any seat in the house.
Zipps -- A few locations in Phoenix, the one near Kierland isn't far from the golf course and offers a great menu highlight by the Monaco Focaccia, one of the best things you'll ever eat in you entire life.
Arcadia Tavern -- A little further from the golf (in Arcadia, maybe 20 minutes from TPC), this place is one of my favorite sports bars in Phoenix. It has a neighborhood feel, and a game area for the kids, plus solid food and a great TV setup.
For Dinner Spots:
Sapporo Sushi: If you're in the mood for sushi, this is about the best in the city, and close to the golf tournament. Also, the waitresses are known to be decently attractive, so there's that.
The Mission: A high-end Mexican food spot in Old Town Scottsdale, the atmosphere and food are fantastic. Don't forget to get the guacamole that they make at your table, because it'll be the best decision you make all week.
Roaring Fork: A staple of my diet, this restaurant never disappoints. Sit in the bar and take advantage of a fantastic happy hour, and chow down on the Green Chili Pork at a reasonable price. It also has a hamburger there that was ranked in the top-10 two years ago by Mens Fitness. A place where everything on the menu seems to be awesome.
Where Should We Go Out?
Blue Martini: A spot up north that will be busy all weekend, Blue Martini is a spot infamous for their massive feline contingent (that is you, reading between the lines).
The Lodge: A spot in Old Town that is always busy, but not too obnoxious, and has a solid late night dinner menu in case your stomach is a-rumblin'. Get the pretzel. Just do it.
The Vig: A cool, more chill spot in the Arcadia area that has great drinks, a fun crowd, and a Vig Rig that will drive you back to your place for free, as long as you tip the man.
Where Should We Play?
The Phoenician: A resort-style golf course that is always in good shape and gives you the best views of any golf course in the valley. It isn't too hard, so you might be able to drop in a birdie or two, but it is fun, and has a few challenging holes. Also, if you're lucky, a celebrity might be playing in the group in front of you.
Southern Dunes Golf Club: Formerly a private club named Royal Dunes, Southern Dunes is now open to the public, and you won't regret the 40 minutes drive to Maricopa to play it. The course can be challenging if you tip it out, but it has some really awesome holes and is the best new design in Arizona.
Troon North, Pinnacle: You've heard of this course, but there is no way I could leave it off the list. It's the, getreadyforit, Pinnacle of desert golf, and one everyone should play once before they die. Just a suggestion: toss a bunch of water balls in your bag before you go out there. You're probably going to need them.
Okay, Now Golf Tournament Tips
Friday is the new Saturday: Maybe it's because I'm getting older, and the thought of 150,000 people all in the same place pushes me into panic attack mode, but Saturday has gotten too crazy at the Waste Management Open for my liking. If you can, go on Friday instead, because nobody works that day anyway, it's super fun, and it isn't nearly as packed as it is over the weekend.
The 16th: If you're going to hit up the 16th, let me make it a lot easier on you; go early, and don't leave. The stadium-style golf hole fills up FAST, and the line can stretch all the way to the 11th tee if you're not careful, so get there early, snag a couple of seats, and enjoy the action.
If you can't get to the 16th early, go before the final groups roll through. Normally the non-golf fans have left by then, and you'll get to see the big boys playing with a lot of the guys in the stands extra-lubricated. A win-win, really.
What other hole should we be watching?: It used to be the 17th, but the new stands closed off the viewing area there, so my suggestion is the green at the par-5 3rd hole and the tee box at the 4th. It's a good spot where you can see second shots flying in and tee balls on the short par-3. It's a fun place to see some cool action, and won't be nearly as packed.
Anything Else?
Just a friendly reminder not to drink and drive while you're visiting. While it is stupid to do anyway, Arizona is the worst state in the world to be landing behind the wheel with a few drinks in you. Trust me, if you do it, you're going to get caught, especially this week.
2 comments:
You don't have to be 21 to 28 in Scottsdale, to pick up the curves. In fact, older fellas (with half a brain, and a cc that isn't maxed) generally have a better chance.

Movie Promises "You'll Never Look at Dinner the Same Way"
Lakewood, N.J., Feb. 3, 2010—Join Georgian Court University for a screening of the 2008 documentary that exposes America's food industry, Food, Inc., on Wednesday, February 24, at 5:00 p.m. in the Little Theatre on the Lakewood campus.
Immediately following the 90-minute documentary, radio host and naturopath Michael Glynn, N.D., will lead a discussion. Dr. Glynn earned a doctorate in naturopathic medicine and has been in private practice for 30 years. He hosts "Food for Thought," which airs on radio stations in the tri-state area and San Francisco.
The program is part of GCU's continuing A Healthier You on the Horizon series, which offers informative and interactive programs that provide participants with the tools for healthier lifestyles. Tickets are $15 for the general public and free to current GCU students with ID; reservations are required. To register, contact GCU's Office of Conferences and Special Events at 732.987.2263 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
About Food, Inc.Rated 3 ½ stars by film critic Roger Ebert, Food, Inc. lifts the veil on our nation's food industry, exposing how our nation's food supply is controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, safety, and the environment. The documentary features interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) along with forward-thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farms' Gary Hirschberg and Polyface Farms' Joe Salatin.
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner reveals surprising truths about what we eat, how it's produced, and who we have become as a nation. The documentary raises issues of foodborne illnesses, diabetes and obesity, factory farming, pesticides, cloning, genetic engineering, farm worker protection, and the environmental impact of transporting food.
Founded in 1908 and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, Georgian Court University is a comprehensive university with a strong liberal arts core and a special concern for women. A forward-thinking university that supports diversity and academic excellence, Georgian Court serves over 3,000 students of all faiths and backgrounds in a residential Women's College and a coeducational University College with undergraduate and graduate programs. Georgian Court's main campus is located at 900 Lakewood Avenue, Lakewood, N.J., on the picturesque former George Jay Gould estate, now named a National Historic Landmark. Georgian Court also offers classes at its site at One Woodbridge Center in Woodbridge, at Coastal Communiversity in Wall, and at Cumberland County College in Vineland.

If I fail to adhere to principles like dharma (virtuous living), I will no doubt be doomed to be reborn again and again, sometimes richer, sometimes poorer. After all, what does virtue have to do with how rich or poor people are? Some of the poor people I know are far more virtuous than the rich. And the opposite holds true as well.
AKA you can feel sorry for yourself, or you can pick yourself up and give it the old "college boy" try.
Thinking of it as a punishment system is just erroneous interpretation. In this case, the Western pop culture version is decidedly more accurate than your version.
I would shudder to try and explain Maya (illusion) with my skills. As in, it's all maya, baby, you can't take it with you, but hey hey, you're not going anywhere either haha :)
That's not my interpretation of karma. In particular societies that practice it, the powerful use karma to reinforce unjust social orders, which I suppose is nothing new for people and religion. This probably sounds very startling to someone who only knows the Disneyfied concept of karma, but the powerful have long used fatalistic concepts like karma to justify their place over others.
Everyone believes they live a virtuous life and will look for ways to support that contention - even as they might ruthlessly exploit those under them - and religion will usually provide a basis for their justification.
