Comments about American DJ Quad Phase Large Coverage LED Lighting Effect:
I use this light mounted 9 feet up in air and pointed down to the dance floor. Its a great lighting effect when used with fog. Very bright and with interesting patterns.
Comments about American DJ Quad Phase Large Coverage LED Lighting Effect:
This light really has a great effect. Colors, Speed and strobe can be changed. Only thing is that for full effect this light needs a hazer or fogger. If you can put the two together you really get an effect that looks like you spent ALOT more money. Blows the VUE III out of the water. Great Light!!!
Only 4 channels of dmx but the effects are so cool it really dosent matter. Can also be sound activated
Seems to be built well - Like most other lights in this range
Price is low but the effect is freat
Comments about American DJ Quad Phase Large Coverage LED Lighting Effect:
The super bright LEDs are awesome and create great sharp beams in the dark, you need fog for the beams though. The added white LED (as opposed to the earlier Tri-Phase) makes a huge difference in brightness and color choices. This light has so many features (Sound, DMX, Master Slave) that you cannot go wrong with this product. The beams in the fog are amazing and it adds an entire new atmosphere to whatever you are doing. I have two of these and they are simply one of the best DJ lights ever, and THE best DJ light in the price range.
Great light, especially for the price. One of the best DJ lights on the market today. Plus the LEDs guarantee that this light will be with you in the long run. The ability to use DMX, Sound Active, and Master Slave gives you so many features. When using DMX, this light is the best.
Immediately after opening the box, I noticed that it is built really sturdy, it is road ready and the housing is strong enough to handle some abuse. I can't say anything about if it were dropped, but my guess is that it would probably stand a fall or two. My one pet peeve is the washers that ADJ uses, they are this fabric washer that will fray a little over time, but besides that, which probably will not bother anyone else, it shows amazing build and quality.
The value of this light from any retailer would still be 10 out of 10, but at this price, it should be more like 20 out of 10.
Comments about American DJ Quad Phase Large Coverage LED Lighting Effect:
This light was my first real light for DJing, and about a year later I'm doing quite a lot of private parties and it's still my main piece of lighting and it more than gets the job done. Eventually I'll probably add another moonflower or a centerpiece of sorts, but for now this is really more than enough for an amatuer DJ like me.
I have only used the sound active mode so far, but as has been said before, American DJ goes far above and beyond the call of duty with their built-in programs. It's absolutely brilliant, particularly when the light decides to strobe. It's just amazing, and having owned it for almost a year every time I use it, it still blows my mind with what it can do.
When I got it I had to take it apart because a little extra solder had fallen off, but there have been no problems whatsoever and it seems like a very, very well-built light. The only two issues besides the excess solder are that it makes noise and the motor seemed a little sticky once.
As far as the noise goes, it's a little unpleasant but not unbearable, and you won't by any stretch of the imagination notice it when you're playing music.
The motor issue only happened once after having it stored away for over a month, and I haven't been able to replicate it since. It was just that the beams when moving slowly were a little jittery and not as fluid as you might like. However, like I said, the next time I used it I didn't find an issue.
The Chauvet Swarm 4 is a similar light for less on Musician's Friend, but I'd still go with this one because of the features, the brightness (the white LED really does add a lot). and the pattern. Either way, the price is great for me, but I don't think I would have 2 - one certainly gets the job done!

Friday, January 21, 2011Despite a 27 point performance by senior Josh Slater, the Bisons fell short Friday night to the hands of ETSU 68-67.
A three pointer by Slater brought Lipscomb within one point with 1.1 seconds remaining. Following a missed free throw by ETSU's Sheldon Cooley, the Bisons tried to force a Buccaneers mistake by intentionally committing two lane violations as Cooley tried to intentionally miss the second free-throw.
However, ETSU was able to successfully miss the free-throw and force Lipscomb to heave a desperation shot with 0.8 seconds remaining. The last second attempt by Jordan Burgason came up short and the Bisons dropped their fourth Atlantic Sun game of the year.
Lipscomb dropped to 10-8 overall, 5-4 in the Atlantic Sun while the Buccaneers improved to 13-7 overall and 8-1 in league play. ETSU remains in sole possession of second place in the A-Sun behind Belmont.
The Bisons allowed ETSU to go on a scoring run to end the first half and take a 10-point lead to the locker room at halftime. However, Bisons head coach Scott Sanderson said he was proud of the way the team continued to fight back in the second half.
"We have got to play the second half [for] both halves," Sanderson said. "We can't play that way the first half and miss 10 free throws and expect to beat a good team on the road. It's just not going to happen.
"The second half, our execution, scoring, and being selective offensively. We held them to eight field goals in the second half and did a lot of really good things. Besides getting beat, I was proud of the way our guys battled and battled and battled back and were never denied even to the very end with the last heave at the end of the game."
The Bisons took an early 3-2 lead in the first two minutes of the first half on a Burgason free-throw. However, that would be the only lead of the game for Lipscomb. The Buccaneers were led in scoring by redshirt senior Mike Smith who scored 20 points and reeled in seven rebounds.
In the second half, Lipscomb scored the first five points to cut the Bucs lead in half. From that point on, the Bisons never trailed by double figures. At the 11:32 mark, Bisons sophomore Milos Kleut scored a bucket to tie the game at 44.
Rebounding and free throws were the two key stats that plagued the Bisons throughout the game. ETSU outrebounded the Bisons 34-33 including six second-half offensive rebounds. Also, Lipscomb was 19-of-29 from the free-throw line (65.5 percent).
Adnan Hodzic was the only other Bison to finish in double figures. He scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to secure his fifth double-double of the season and 24th of his career.
As a team, Lipscomb held the Buccaneers to 46 percent from the field while shooting 44 percent. The Bisons were 4-of-15 from behind the arc (26.7 percent). However, the Bucs were only 2-of-13 (15.4 percent) from downtown. Both teams shot under 70 percent from the line. ETSU hit 20-of-33 from the free-throw line while the Bisons went 19-of-29 (65.5 percent).
Lipscomb will be back in action on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. central when they head to USC Upstate to take on the Spartans. Free audio coverage will begin at 12:40 p.m. on the Lipscomb Sports Network. Jonathan, Justin, and Benjamin Seamon will be on the call.

ESP Horizon
I just bought an ESP Horizon FR-II Black Aqua. I am from Costa Rica and I bought it online, so I couldn't test it. The guitar is coming from USA. I want to know experiences of the current users of ESP Horizon...are you satisfied? I am expecting the best of the best!!! Was it a good choise?
I Own the M-1 and a KH2, dosent have the archtop body but they both play like a dream. i have no doubts you'll be very satisfied.
I'm an Horizon player (ESP and LTD) from the 90's.
I have several models with different pickup-bridge-neck configurations, and all the components (fixed or Floyd Rose bridges, tuning machines, electronics) are superbs .
I also own different brands of guitars as PRS, Gibson and Fender, but the feel that i have with my ESP its just amazing, and i dont feel the need to play any other guitar.
So Alex, in my personal opinion, you'll be not just satisfied, but gratified at 100% with your new guitar.
Thanks Marco.
It's interesting that you play ESP and LTD. I want to buy an LTD as backup guitar. But I don't know about the quality of the guitar. What can you tell me about LTD? Do you have good experiencies with that guitars?
I own an ESP Horizon FR in vulcano red since 2011 and it is the best guitar I have ever played in my life. The neck is super comfortable and the tone is simply a dream. Don't worry, you won't be disappointed at all.
You made an excellent choice! I have a NT-II and a LTD MH250 as a back up. If you want a LTD as a back up, I would say try as many as possible. I used to have a MH1000 as a backup but it had a few minor issues(fret job wasn't the greatest and the bridge pickup was installed about 2mm offset to the right). The MH250, on the otherhand, is almost built better than my NT-II. Its strange since the Korean models are supposed to be better built than the Indoneasan models.
[I am trying to send my original post - if this works, it was the smiley that I deleted.] --- Yes, good choice. I just received my Horizon NT-II DBSB a couple of days ago - bought it online without ever picking one up or hearing it plugged in other than on YouTube. Honestly, I don't know what made me do it. Just kind of stumbled across it online and was interested. I don't know what it is about it; but, it is super. Fit and finish is superb. Setup and playability couldn't be any better. Love the Duncans - no disrespect to EMG (I've got 81s, 85, 89s in my Dean and Schecter). Overall, couldn't be happier with it. I think ESP is kind of lurking in the shadows of the other big boys and maybe doesn't get the recognition or exposure it deserves. I've got Fender Strats and Teles, Gibson Les Paul Studio and SGs, Gretsch, PRS, Epiphone, Dean, Schecter, and Washburn. My ESP takes a back seat to none. Haven't put it down, except to go to work! Enjoy your new baby.
Cool esten!! Congratulations for your new guitar!! Enjoy it!! I expect the same experience with my Horizon!! :)
I would suggest you plan on doing a string change and full setup out of the box. Don't be disappointed when you pull it out and the setup sucks. That is to be expected from shipping long distances through very different climates.
Thanks to everyone for your posts!!!
Finally, I have my guitar and I am very very happy!!!
Here some pics!!! The guitar needs a full setup, so I can't play right now..I can't wait to test it!!
I just returned from the ESP Craft House with my Horizon I ... you made an excellent choice (I'm sure you realize that by now) ¡Felicitaciones! ;)
Thanks, Salty!!! The set up of my guitar is ready!!! I can't believe it the sound, the playability, the quality...ALL IS AWESOME!!
It sounds killer through my Marshall JVM!!! \m/
The best guitar I have ever played!!! SOOOO HAPPYYYYYYYY!!!
I was playing an ESP SRC signature for roughly a decade before I decided to purchase my next ESP, and that purchase was a Horizon FR-II in See-Thru Red. Out of all the guitars I've purchased, and played over the years, this guitar just blows them away!! The playability on this thing is just phenominal, and I can beat on the OFR all I want without having to worry about going out of tune.
Bottom line: You will enjoy every second of this guitar!

I know of almost no one that doesn't want the best for Nine Mile Canyon.
But the problem is that what one person or group thinks is best, is not always the same as what another person or group thinks is best.
And up until about two years ago, those differing attitudes are what prevented anything of substance from happening there in terms of cooperation.
It was at that time that College of Eastern Utah president Ryan Thomas suggested to various people that he would act as a mediator between the various interests to try to get them to find common ground.
It wasn't that the interests had never met or even cooperated at times, but never had all the players with interest in the canyon sat down together on a regular basis and worked toward some common goals.
With the hard work of a few and the cooperation of many, a committee was formed to come up with ideas that would help all to succeed in the canyon. It was a true first. At the early meetings there were preservationists, gas exploration and production managers, land owners, timber people, county officials, federal/state land representatives and just about everyone that wanted a say in what was going on there.
The Nine Mile Advisory Committee as it came to be known, had little official power, other than it provided an outlet for ideas to blossom. And blossom they did, as projects that had been thought about for years were taken off the back of the stove and placed on the front burners. In cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, the State Institutional Land Trust, and private land owners, projects like Daddy Canyon and improvements around the Great Hunt Panel have either been completed or are on their way to being finished.
But more importantly the discussion within the group developed an urgency to get something done about the road through the canyon, probably the biggest sticking point of all in the years of acrimony concerning the canyon. With the interest generated by the committee, idea after idea has come forth concerning the design and ultimately the finances that are needed to fix the road so that it is safe, usable by all parties and yet not destructive to the ambiance of that sacred place.
Now the Carbon Recreation and Transportation Special Service District has stepped in and has started to discuss the possibility of financing some of the road improvements. The cost to complete the road the way many envision it is well beyond the financial means of any local county agency or even a group of them, yet the idea that local government wants to participate by putting down some real money to get the job done shows a great deal about the way people feel about the canyon.
Despite the successes, some very apparent, some not so, in the last few months, things have changed. Members of the committee have quit because they felt things weren't moving fast enough; a common reaction by people of action when they meet up with the red tape of dealing with public lands and little clear direction of where things will go. Others have just stopped attending the meetings. Like in all committees, sometimes there is a lot of talk, but little action. That can be frustrating.
When the group first began meeting on a monthly basis, people filled the conference room at the CEU Student Center. Last week there were eight people there, counting Judy Bartholomew who was taking notes for the chair of the group, Mike King, and myself who was covering the meeting for the paper. Most importantly those who were absent included the people who represent private business and land ownership in the canyon.
I have watched this committee since just after its inception. I have seen the agreements and the disputes that have arisen during its discussions. The one thing I can say is that it has done a great deal to bring reality to the minds of those who love Nine Mile Canyon. The reality that the ancient writings there could be destroyed if not protected. The reality that the canyon is a dangerous place for tourists because there are some bad places on the road. The reality that gas exploration in the canyons vicinity is going to continue and probably escalate. The reality that we can't turn back time forty years and lock the canyon away from the world. And most importantly, that compromise is a reality that anyone who loves the canyon must accept.
Despite the decline in attendance, the committee will continue its work. With road issues possibly out of the way or at least out of connection with the group, they may and probably will refocus on a number of smaller projects that they can get done. Those will all be important in the long term plan for the canyon because without organized places to stop at, venues to view and information for visitors, a better road of any kind will be of much less value.

Buzz: The Flyers Have Interest In Roberto Luongo
8:42PM: Frank Seravalli of the Philly Daily News spoke with Holmgren and said "That made me chuckle. Safe to say they aren't true. They have no basis or merit."
8:26PM: According Montreal reporter Enrico Ciccone, the Flyers have interest in acquiring Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo.
James Duthie confirmed the Flyers interest but added, "Doesn't mean they are going to get him. Doesn't necessarily mean they'll make an offer. But they've inquired. Could buy out Bryz in June."
Adrian Dater of the Denver Post writes that Flyers GM Paul Holmgren is going for Luongo "big time."
Earlier today, Sam Carchidi of the Philly Inquirer denied that the Flyers have interest in Luongo.
Despite Brian Burke being fired, the Maple Leafs are believed to still be interested in Luongo.
New Toronto GM Dave Nonis brought Luongo to Vancouver in 2006.
At the draft the Canucks reportedly asked for defenseman Jake Gardiner and Tyler Bozak for Luongo.

Top 20 Fashion Icons--From Marilyn to Madonna And More!
- 1 of 21
From Grace Kelly's refined aesthetic to Madonna's rebellious sensibilities, these icons leave us with an unforgettable sartorial legacy, inspiring women then and now to replicate their look. Click through our slideshow to see who made the cut.
- 2 of 21
Marlene Dietrich
From smartly tailored pantsuits to fedoras and bow ties, Dietrich's tastes leaned heavily towards menswear dressing, yet the silver screen star of the '20s and '30s still exuded an undeniably feminine sensuality.
- 3 of 21
Greta Garbo
Legendary Swedish actress Garbo popularized a slightly androgynous look-- comfortable, classic, unfussy--that reflected her no-nonsense personality as well.
- 4 of 21
Katharine Hepburn
This actress channeled a decidedly powerful look in the '40s, one that eschewed anything girly or fussy in favor of masculine-inspired pieces, like tailored blazers, pleated trousers, and loafers.
- 5 of 21
Lauren Bacall
To many, Bacall's look in the '40s, which alternated between sharp suits and slinky evening gowns, epitomized all-American elegance.
- 6 of 21
Grace Kelly
Even before she became a real-life princess, Kelly was known for her ladylike '50s look, which consisted of pearls, ladylike coats, and feminine dresses that are timeless even today.
- 7 of 21
Audrey Hepburn
Hepburn's signature style smacked of minimalist chic. Off-duty, she often enhanced her signature pixie cut with impeccable yet casual separates, like turtlenecks, cropped pants, and ballet flats.
- 8 of 21
Marilyn Monroe
Monroe's Hollywood image was that of sultry bombshell, a reputation she fostered by wearing skintight dresses and va-va-voom tops that flaunted her figure to perfection.
- 9 of 21
Jean Seberg
Although Seberg was actually from small-town Iowa, the actress' penchant for Breton stripe t-shirts, crisp blouses, and slim trousers came to personify everything cool and sophisticated about Parisian style.
- 10 of 21
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
The former First Wife was the picture of classic, all-American polish. Even after she remarried to Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis, shifting her style from pillbox hats and shift dresses to oversized sunglasses and head scarves, the public continued to remain fascinated by her look.
- 11 of 21
The British model's gamine look--lanky limbs, a pixie crop, and doll-like eyes, not to mention the Mary Quant minis and mod dresses she often wore--made her a poster child of the '60s.
- 12 of 21
Jane Birkin
Hermes' renowned Birkin bag is named after the British actress, who captured a free-spirited, bohemian-inspired style in the '60s--think: slightly sheer blouses, micro shorts, and flared jeans--that felt decidedly French.
- 13 of 21
Diana Ross
The word "fierce" is part of Beyonce vernacular now, but back in the '60s, it belonged solely to Ross. The Supremes singer's name is synonymous with glitz and glamour, thanks to her bedazzled outfits, bigger-is-better jewels, and voluminous coiff.
- 14 of 21
Faye Dunaway
We can't think about Dunaway without envisioning the actress' signature beret hats, short-sleeve sweaters, and midi skirts, the elegantly appealing look she sported in 1967's Bonnie and Clyde and also off the clock.
- 15 of 21
Talitha Getty
Late '60s style icon Getty consistently looked the part of hippie gypset in colorful prints, kaftans, and furs, a style that's undoubtedly inspired modern-day fashionphiles such as Sienna Miller and Kate Moss.
- 16 of 21
Bianca Jagger
Often spotted in turbans, sequined pieces, and truly fabulous hats, Jagger was fashion-forward even for her time. The model--and Studio 54 fixture--embraced the bold, flashy outfits that cemented her fashion icon status.
- 17 of 21
Anita Pallenberg
As the paramour of more than one member of the Rolling Stones in the swinging '60s, it's only fitting that Pallenberg commandeered a rock 'n' roll sense of style: swingy mini dresses, wide-brimmed hats, fringed vests, and kohl-rimmed eyes.
- 18 of 21
Lauren Hutton
Hutton's approach to dressing is best described as effortlessly natural, much like the gap-toothed smile that became her beloved trademark. The actress and supermodel wore button-downs, slouchy pants, and simple t-shirts with an enviable laissez-faire attitude.
- 19 of 21
Diane Keaton
Who could forget Keaton dressed in a vest, tie, and bowler hat in her famous role as Annie Hall? The actress' borrowed-from-the-boys style revolutionized the way women dressed in the late '70s and early '80s--and we're thankful for it!
- 20 of 21
Debbie Harry
As the frontwoman of Blondie, Harry is punk royalty, and her wardrobe reflected that with DIY-inspired, shredded rocker t-shirts, black jeans, and tough biker jackets galore!
- 21 of 21
Madonna has continued to reinvent her look over the decades, but it's the Material Girl's first appearance on the scene--wearing conical bras and studded bustiers in the '80s--that make her a fashion trailblazer.

I was in Egypt from Tuesday 25 January through Saturday 29 January 2011, i.e. the first five days of the people's up rise. I witnessed a series of events, actions that have left me flabbergasted.
Cairo at 11.00 am on the day of the peaceful protests that were to start at 02.00 pm seemed busy and peaceful all at once — like it always is. It seemed that the day would develop as usual.
For the larger part of the day, I stayed tuned to Al Jazeerah and Al Arabiyah — two cable new channels — to keep track of the walkout that was about to begin. The crowds began to gather in and around Tahrir Square. They came from all social strata. Most people carried peaceful signs that pronounce five clear-stated demands: that the President steps down; that neither he nor his son run for office again; that the Government Cabinet be dissolved and new Ministers be appointed; that the Shura Council be dissolved and new fair elections take place; and that the Constitution be amended. There was a lot of security on the streets but there was no engagement between them and the protesters. Surrounding streets were closed off from vehicles to prevent needless confrontations.
For several hours, the events were developing rather peacefully. Many of my family members and friends were amongst the demonstrators and I felt envious of their strong sense of civic engagement, patriotism and willpower. A strong sense of identity dawned on each and every Egyptian, as well as anyone who has any link to Egypt.
Then as the early hours of the evening kicked in and the tone of the events was slowly shifting. Tension was building up. People did notdisperse and go home. People declared they would remain and their tone became far more hostile. The protest went on into the late hours. Outside, you could hear the sound of ad hoc gunshots and glass breaking.
Day two of the uprise seemed a mixture of patriotic youth still making the same demands in addition to hungry people demanding change to be able to feed their families. These were two distinct groups. Yesterday's protesters had split. Additionally, one could notice the huge number of security guards on the streets, especially on the streets leading to Tahrir Square and important Government offices. However, they only stood there, anticipating problems that may arise on this second day of demonstrations.
How did this all start? A few people on Facebook and other social networks thought they could arouse the interest, the anger, the despair, the humiliation and the revolt of the Egyptian people towards the 30-year Mubarak regime. Did they not realize that Egypt has a population of 80 million of which only a small percentage would be able to grasp the ideologies they were voicing and would know how to respect the boundaries dictated by what is termed "peaceful protest"? Did they not realize that there were many angry and suppressed people who would take advantage of the situation to escalate it into the adversity it has become today? Now what???
Day three was filled with mixed feelings: people were left confused between their sense of solidarity and fear from the turn of events. Emotions led their motivation. The same three distinct groups prevailed.
People remained glued to their television screens if they were not physically present at the protest. People waited. What were we waiting for?
I suppose we waited to see the reaction of the Presidency… where was President Mubarak? Why had he not yet addressed the people of Egypt? The people of Egypt were waiting and so was the world.
Late into the night, the mobile networks and internet networks were halted. People felt angry, cut off from the world. It was the first time that we all realised that for over 10 years now, we have grown to be dependent on our mobile lines and most of us did not know anyone else's landlines!
Day four was labelled Angry Friday. History was in the making. The afternoon progressed fairly quietly and well into the people's newly developed routine for the past three days our eyes remained focused on television, television and more television. The events were escalating and the tension was mounting. Another caliber of people had hit the streets of Cairo: people were breaking and entering shops and companies, looting them of their goods. Banks, ATM machine, airline offices, etc… everything was being raided! What happened to the peaceful protest? Where did the Facebook community and other social networks go? They were being replaced and outnumbered by a number of street bullies who seized the opportunity to disrupt the peaceful protest and transform it into the "up rise of the thieves" as it was now being labelled. Chaos was everywhere and the only conceivable response was to instate a curfew from 6.00 pm to 7.00 am the next morning in attempt to limit the people's movement on the streets. Did it work? Not really for protesters remained camped out in Tahrir Square and chanted "We will not leave until he (the president) leaves!"
The weight of the situation was taking its toll on everyone. Everyone sat quietly watching the live feeds on television. People's tolerance was hitting rock bottom. People were upset at the way the protest was turning into a confrontation amongst protesters. Some newcomers who supported the Government challenged the crowd that was striving for it to be dissolved. People were being influenced by the president's speech. Egyptians are emotional people and their position may be swayed if their emotions are triggered.
Gunshots continued well into the night… a sound that everyone had grown accustomed to for four nights straight now.
I left the next morning to the airport as soon as the curfew was lifted.
This journey seemed to take "forever"… this same route I had enjoyed four days before in the opposite direction. However this time, frantic pedestrians filled the highway. Most of them walked with nude torso swaying their arms in the air with pocket knives, and other arms. They were attacking passing cars. They banged on the hoods and trunks of the cars in attempt to scare the drivers into stopping so they could loot them. Meanwhile a"City Center" was going up in flames… that same shopping mall that stood tall and busy a few days before was slowly melting away. In the midst of this sad scene, the-hungry-people-of-Egypt-turned-thieves robbed whatever goods and food they could get hold of from the inflamed stores.
What other emotions will they feel next?

AMHERST, NY - Erie County's largest town is the latest battle ground in the food truck wars, as a host of new regulations will be on the plates of lawmakers when the town board meets on Monday, almost none of which the food truck operators find palatable.
The ingredients for this showdown began to be mixed last fall, when a food truck operator set up at an office park, at the invitation of the property owner, but was told to move along by police because he didn't have a permit.
The town soon discovered its existing laws on the matter were unclear.
"We welcome these businesses, but there's going to be restrictions" said Town Councilman Mark Manna. "There has to be restrictions that each side is going to have to live with."
Food truck operators say the restrictions as proposed are onerous and not practical.
Under the proposed law, food trucks would need a permit to operate whether on private or public property, which will cost them $500 per truck per year. Operators will also have to pass a criminal background check.
Food trucks would not be allowed to set up within 100 feet of an existing restaurant, and if they operate on a public street or right of way, they would have to be at least 60 feet away from an intersection and would be allowed to operate for no more than 60 minutes per day.
While the attorney representing the Western New York Food Truck Association finds all of it unappetizing, he says the restriction on operating hours is the hardest to stomach.
"That's just not feasible for the trucks," said Mitch Stenger of the law firm of Kloss Stenger and Lotempio.
"They can't make any money by operating for just an hour. They don't want to be there all day, but they need to be there for at least a couple hours," Stenger told WGRZ-TV. "The trucks are being nickeled and dimed to a death by a thousand cuts."
Stenger, whose clients also believe the annual permit fee should be no more than $250, notes town boards generally don't attempt to tell traditional brick and mortar restaurants when they can open and close.
"Denny's is still open 24 hours a day last I checked," he said, in calling the proposals regarding food trucks restrictive and discriminatory.
"It's just ridiculous and frustrating" said Kelly Brewer, proprietor of Sweet Hearth Mobile Baking and Catering, who last year left her job at AT&T to plunge into the food truck business, hoping to turn her love of baking into a profitable venture.
Brewer fears other towns and villages will follow the lead of Amherst and the City of Buffalo in charging rates for permits that she believes are exorbitant.
"I mean...what if it's $500 from every municipality? We're just not going to be able to stay in business...there's just no way," Brewer told Two On Your Side.
Loyal food truck customers like John Van Zwieten are outraged.
"I for one will go out of my way to avoid Amherst businesses if they push through these anti-competitive regulations on our food trucks," said Van Zwieten, who enjoys the twice monthly visits by Lloyd's Taco Truck to the Centerpointe Office Park on Essjay Drive.
"My co-workers and I look forward to this...they're just messing with something that doesn't hurt anyone and is great for us," Van Zwieten told Channel 2 News.
On the other side of the issue are restaurateurs, who say they pay property taxes for town services like police and fire, something also extended to food trucks, when they literally roll in and attract potential customers.
"They believe the food trucks should be paying something for those town services as well if they're going to operate here," noted Town Supervisor Barry Weinstein.
"We need to have some restrictions so the residents are protected, and businesses that have been around for decades are protected," said Manna. "That's what we're trying to accomplish on Monday."
Besides being involved in still a relatively new business model of food service, food truck operators are utilizing the latest means of communication to gain support for their cause.
An online petition started Thursday evening, garnered more than 1,700 electronic signatures within 24 hours, which will be presented to the town board when it takes up the new regulations Monday night.

Reviews for Pumpkin-Shaped Cheese Ball
Sort By :
"One of the best cheese balls that I have had. Nice nip with the cayenne, but not too much. Always asked for the recipe when I take it places. Like others don't do pumpkin shape and I rolls in crushed pecans"
"Great recipe. Made it for my husband's Halloween Birthday dinner. I added orangepaste food coloring to make it more orange in color.Will definitely make it again and again."
"Loved the zippy recipe and the cute pumpkin shape. I added a teaspoon of turmeric to give it a brighter orange color."
"This spread was excellent. I usually do the one with pineapple, but I wanted to give another one a try. My picky husband loved it. I didn't need a pumpkin, so I just made it into a ball. Like a other reviewer I coated the ball in crushed pecans. Served with Triscuits."
"This is a favorite for my husband and I. It's requested at many functions. The flavor is spot on and the cayanne adds a little kick but isn't too spicy. I don't like spicy at all and I would never make this without the pepper. We don't always make it into a pumpkin but we always make this recipe. I've been asked for the recipe and get rave reviews. We usually end up having this 4 or 5 times a year expecially in the fall. I usually serve it with apples, crackers or celery."

IAB releases Publisher's perspectives on programmatic as first part in educational series
Programmatic buying and selling of advertising, real-time bidding, and marketing automation is changing the way we transact digital media. Though numbers are very sketchy, by some accounts over 20% of all digital advertising is sold "programmatically" - and it's growing rapidly.
Yet programmatic competes with Native advertising for the title of "Buzzword of 2013". And the hyperbole couldn't be more extreme. Concerns are rampant. Sales people are worried about becoming obsolete, losing their jobs to machines, and declining yields. Some buyers of digital media are worried that only crappy inventory is available programmatically. Aside from perhaps the ad tech community, there's a great deal of smiling and nodding going on when people talk about the importance of programmatic, and not a lot of understanding. Ad agencies are worried that automation will mean standardization and less of a role for creativity and creatives. On the other side, many see new technological innovation as the source of great potential value - creating significant efficiencies, new markets, and continuing to drive advertising dollars to digital.
There is significant confusion in the marketplace around the meaning of terms like "programmatic", "RTB", "programmatic direct", "programmatic premium", and other verbiage, often being used interchangeably. New technologies are emerging which are creating significant value, but there is also a lack of clear technical standards to ensure interoperability across different platforms. Buyers and sellers are concerned with the limited transparency and number of vendors involved in the programmatic transaction. And programmatic raises internal, organizational challenges for brands and agencies, and particularly for publishers with their existing direct sales teams and incentives.
Agencies and their clients have a lot to lose if programmatic isn't implemented coherently: a set of technologies that aim to create market efficiencies could, instead, create a fragmented, illiquid marketplace if each media agency insists on creating its own proprietary marketplace with its own standards and its own technologies.
In the spirit of creating value for the entire marketplace and driving advertising dollars to digital, the IAB is working to tackle many of these challenges. Today it is releasing Digital Simplified: Programmatic and Automation - The Publishers' Perspective, the first in a new IAB educational series that offers easy-to-understand documents for the industry. The piece aims to provide clarity, from the publishers' perspective, on the different "programmatic" transaction types. It outlines the four main ways of buying and selling "programmatically" and provides a clear framework for distinguishing between them. It also highlights other factors commonly associated with each of these types of "programmatic" selling.
This is the first output of a newly created IAB Programmatic Publishers Task Force, chaired by Alanna Gombert, Senior Director Programmatic and Trading at Condé Nast and formerly of Ad Meld and Google. The new Task Force is aimed at providing premium publishers a forum to come together to work on issues related to the programmatic agenda and how it impacts them. Its goal is to help publishers establish market clarity and education around the programmatic ecosystem - both internally and externally. Barely a month after its launch there are now over 30 premium publishers participating in this initiative and the list is growing. In addition to working on clarity around definitions and terminology, the group is also working on issues around transparency across the value chain and sales force organizational issues.
The Programmatic Publishers Task Force is a key part of the overall IAB programmatic agenda. This agenda focuses on firstly identifying and addressing the key business issues in the programmatic landscape, and secondly working on technical standards and implementation of standards to address these issues. On the business side, in addition to its work with publishers, the IAB, in conjunction with The Winterberry Group, is conducting a thought-leadership research study to provide an effective roadmap to "programmatic" capabilities based on surveys and interviews with its members, to be released by the end of 2013. It is also working on mobile specific programmatic issues. On the technical side, it is working on both digital automation implementation and open RTB standards.

I'm considering going back to the West Coast Trail, when I did it last time I carried close to 80lbs. When I did the juan-de-fuca trail I was down to 30lbs, and last weekend I was down to 17lbs (this all includes food and water)I've replaced my "heavy" hubba-hubba with an integral designs silshelter.Now here's my question for people, I remember having trouble pegging in my tent last time as almost all the camping was on the sand of the beach. How do people handle tarp shelters in such conditions? Is there a trick to making this work? Usually I tie up to a tree branch at one end, and peg out the sides... I'm foreseeing issues...
Nate Olive and Sarah Janes(Tha Wookie and Island Mama) were the first to hike it and did it ul.They used a Ray Way style tarp.Here is his trail journal accounthttp://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?id=58508and lots of interviews(you can google more)http://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?id=58508http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6126931/ns/us_news/t/two-hikers-finish-historic-west-coast-trek/He has a website on hiking it(you must be patient it is sometimes down,but it will eventually come up)http://www.thawookie.com/He lives in the Virgin Islands now but you might be able to contact himhttp://www.trailjournals.com/about.cfm?trailname=2254http://wildernessawareness.ning.com/profile/NateOliveor read thishttp://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=42046http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=46404&skip_to_post=396004#396004http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=20883http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=59471http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=10989you need to be a member to read thesehttp://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/ditch_your_stakes.html?id=oShjru9X:18.104.22.168http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/tent_stakes.htmladded a few more

We did the WCT last summer and used a SMD Haven. The sand is slightly problematic but there are usually plenty of rocks and logs available. We saw some people using tarps. There are some small bugs which bite so I would recommend something to keep them off. I hope you have as much fun as we did. Here is a link to our trip pictures.http://www.flickr.com/photos/d1948n/sets/72157627326529805/We saw only about 4 people whose weight approached UL besides us. We were at about 22# including food and water.
I have only used non freestanding shelters on the WCT and never had a problem with pegging in the sand. If it really worries you, use 8" Easton pegs and put drift wood over the pegs.3 weeks ago I was out there again and had no issue with blowing sand as one has to come to terms with it early. However, the sand flies and noseeums were really bad at night. Use some form of bug protection.Edit: you can tie off your tarp to the copious levels of massive driftwood on the beach. You truly won't have a problem.
Edited by FamilyGuy on 07/01/2012 09:24:01 MDT.
Did the WCT a couple of years ago with a tarp tent and had no problems with pitching in sand. There are generally rocks and logs laying around that you can use to add some weight on your stakes. You'll be fine.
You just don't, unless you have unmovable objects all around you to tie off on. Once during a storm on the lost coast, my 2 friends didn't want to sleep inland because it was covered in poison oak or something. One friend did an interesting job of rigging a shelter, but our tarp turned into a kite several times during the night and we got soaked. There is really no such thing as anchoring in the sand during high winds unless you can't physically carry that anchor. Sand provides very little resistance and even very heavy objects can get slowly tugged along my the wind and ropes, leaving you with a sheler that gets more and more slack during the night.
As other posters have mentioned, yes, large stumps, rocks and huge driftwood work as anchors. But, of course, those things are rarely positioned for all four corners of your shelter. So here's what you do: deadman anchors.As you approach your camping site, start gathering sturdy sticks. 1"+ in diameter. one to two feet long. As many as you need tie-down points.Dig a trench perpendicular to the direction of pull. Bury the stick with your tent guyline around it. Better yet, bury it with a small loop of cord so that the loop projects above grade. You want the cord attached in the center of the stick.You can create a more substanial anchor in this way than ANY tent peg. To secure raft on the Colorado river, I've buried an 8-foot log. The log can't move without moving the 1000 pounds of sand in front / above it.If truly devoid of modest-sized sticks, get creative. A series of small sticks works. A long stretch of rope works, although big knots in it will help. (not suggesting you BRING the long rope, but on my beach, I find commercial fishing gear all the time). You could even rig up monofilament to buried pop bottles and beer cans to create an anchor. A pot or stuff sack fill of sand and buried is going NOWHERE.Slightly moist sand is much more cohesive than dry sand. Presumably at a beach, you have an infinite source of water with which to make moist sand.This is an engineered anchor, but imagine it with a stick and light cord, recovered with soil/sand:

"There is really no such thing as anchoring in the sand during high winds ... Sand provides very little resistance and even very heavy objects can get slowly tugged along ... leaving you with a sheler that gets more and more slack during the night."I attach LineLocks at the tarp so I can tighten after burying the deadman. If things move I can easily re-tighten. (The same is true on cobble beaches and slickrock: Thread the stake through the loop at the end of the line, stack rocks, and tighten at the tarp.) I've had no problems pitching on dry sand in windy canyon bottoms, except for the gawd-awful noise of the tarp. (Ear plugs help a lot).

What the quickest way to dig the tench ? Maybe pot or bear can in sand ?
Edited by redmonk on 07/03/2012 13:20:00 MDT.
I'd say trade your stakes in for a lightweight trowel, like a poo trowel. If you're not going to use regular stakes anyway, take that weight and apply it to what you will use: a digging tool. If you leave six stakes at home, that gives you two to three ounces to spend on the spade. Or you could look for a bit of driftwood that's just flat and pointed enough to make digging easy. Or a frisbee; now that's a great multiuse item. Scoop out the sand for the trench, set up, and while dinner cooks, unwind with a few tosses on the beach. -Jeff

I have backpacked many times on the beach along the Olympic Peninsula.I never camp on the beach.Occasionally a big wave will happen and get you wet.Better to camp off the beach in the trees.And yeah, if it's sandy just put your stake sideways and put something heavy on it like a log or rock.
Thanks for all the input,. I feel a little better now. When I hiked the Juan De Fuca trail I did use my sil shelter quite successfully, however we never really had to camp completely on the beach, my recollection for the WCT was that that w as less of an option. I think I will probably still risk it (weather dependant), for Juan de fuca we carried a tent all the way to the trailhead before deciding on the silshelter and leaving the tent in the car. Probably do the same for WCT.
"Better to camp off the beach in the trees."You can't on the WCT.

Okay - so just above Thrashers, two sites @ Michigan and Klawana.Where else?

I had no idea about Camper. We went to Walbran but came the beach route so stayed on it for camp.

Budongo Ecotourism
Building on its experience working in Uganda since 1996, JGI, in partnership with the Ugandan National Forest Authority (NFA), launched the Budongo ecotourism project in 2006 with funding from the American people through the United States Agency for International Development. The goal of the project was to provide sustainable revenue generating opportunities from ecotourism to support the protection and maintenance of Budongo. The ecotourism site is located within Uganda's Budongo Central Forest Reserve, which is home to critical populations of chimpanzees and other endangered species.
JGI has worked in Budongo since 2006 to improve the site's infrastructure such as tourist accommodations, the visitor centre, and campsite and walking trails, as well as develop capacity to allow the National Forest Authority and other local organizations to engage in conservation activities and generate revenue from ecotourism.
Today, JGI has returned management of the site to the Ugandan National Forest Authority.
Human encroachment, poaching, and a lack of income-generating activities in the local human populations are pressuring the availability of natural resources in and around the Budongo Forest Reserve. In order to combat these threats, JGI has increased the capacity of local ecoguards and government employees to manage protected areas, engaged local communities in land-use and natural resource-use planning, promoted sustainable livelihoods, and educated students about wildlife and the importance of healthy ecosystems.
Key Project Activities:
At the onset of the project, JGI built a new environmentally friendly visitors center and lodge and renovated existing accommodations. JGI also improved, expanded and continued to maintain forest trails used for chimpanzee trekking and other ecotourism activities such as birding. Since the project began, JGI has trained, equipped, and employed local community members, providing them with an alternative source of income to cutting down natural forest to use as fuel or to sell. In order to ensure chimpanzee health and human safety, JGI developed a manual that provides guidelines for chimpanzee viewing in the wild. JGI also trained forest guides in chimpanzee ecology and behavior.
- Placement of 203,800+ acres (82,500 hectares) of forest under improved management;
- Employment for 24 local community members;
- Training for 230 nearby community members in construction of woodlots, which reduce reliance on natural forest;
- Training for 55+ local community members in forest-friendly businesses, such as craft making, beekeeping and farming;
- Training for 30 guides, chimpanzee habituators and community patrols; and
- An average of 5,000 guests at the lodge each year.
- Visits by more than 2,100+ local elementary school students to the Budongo environmental education center, which helps raise awareness about the forest and its species among the next generation of local community members;
- Environmental education trainings for 30 nearby elementary school teachers;
As a result of these interventions, Budongo Forest Reserve has received a greater level of protection. In addition, during the first year of operation under JGI, revenue from chimpanzee tourism at the reserve increased from $5,000 to $190,000.
In March of 2010, JGI's ecotourism site in Uganda was selected as one of 12 finalists for the 2011 Tourism for Tomorrow Awards by the World Travel & Tourism Council. JGI-Uganda was nominated in the category that recognizes organizations and destinations that have made a significant contribution toward the protection of wildlife and expansion and restoration of natural habitat. The awards, which were divided into four categories, were drawn from 186 entries from more than 60 countries. JGI-Uganda's Budgongo Ecotourism Development Project was nominated for the conservation category.
This project was made possible with funding and support from the American People through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Development Associates Inc. (DAI), and the Ugandan National Forest Authority. The contents are the responsibility of the Jane Goodall Institute, and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government.

Video: Getting Ready For Wallenda's Walk Over Niagara Falls
NIAGARA FALLS, NY - Shortly, daredevil Nik Wallenda will take the walk of his life, across the Niagara Gorge from Niagara Falls, New York to Canada. Wallenda says it's going to be his childhood dream come true.
"It's coming down to the wire, no pun intended," said Wallenda at a news conference Thursday.
Nik Wallenda did his last practice walk Thursday night, high up on the platform. Now, the is wire strung, the lights are set, and thousands of visitors are lining the streets to watch the daredevil walk across the Mighty Niagara on a tightrope.
"The first step's the hardest for sure. But once I'm on that wire, I'm committed and I'm going to make it across to the other side."
300 members of the media around the world including the UK, France, and Korea, are in the to the Falls tonight to watch history in the making. A crew from the Korean Broadcasting System is doing a 10 minute report that will be shown to 2 million people about how the stunt will affect the region's economy.
"As many news reports expect, this will bring a lot of tourists in like back in the day and boost the economy like in the past," said KBS reporter Yurie Kim.
"The estimates I've seen are that 1 billion people will see my image within 24 hours of me getting off of that cable. That's a lot of people. And that's a lot of attention to this region, Niagara Falls," Wallenda said.
But for now the immediate focus is on the tightrope. What will go through the daredevil's mind on his 1800 foot walk?
"Hopefully it will be very peaceful and relaxing. Often I'm very relaxed when I'm walking on a cable like that. I'm sure there will be some tears involved because this is a dream,"
Wallenda says his mother makes his special wire walking shoes with a suede leather bottom.
"That suede leather bottom is fairly thin and helps me feel the wire but not only that when it gets wet it actually becomes sticky or grippy or grips the wire so that I won't slip off the wire."
And as for that 10 lb. harness he's contractually required to wear, he has no intentions of taking it off.
"If I say that I'll do something and agree to it then I'll do something and agree to it. The only way that it would come off would be if it was a security or safety issue."
Wallenda doesn't have a specific routine. He says the only thing he needs to calm his nerves is a good night's rest.
"Try to sleep. Just like a child the evening before Christmas, it's hard to sleep. There's a lot of excitement."
