Not before school they don't. I don't allow it. It stops them from getting ready.
if a cartoon is on the dvr. but usually no. my boys are 8 and 10 and we're working on time management with them. we do watch gac every morning for music.
Not much...maybe a peep or two at the morning show.
no, mine do not have time to watch tv in the morning. I have to leave here 30 minutes before they have to be at school to get them there in time. High school age
sometimes, but he has to be ready for school before he can watch it.

Daniel J. Weber of Yorktown
- Filed Under
It's probably safe to say that Daniel J. Weber has had better days than Tuesday, when Yorktown police charged him twice with stealing.
About 9:30 a.m., Yorktown police knocked on the 35-year-old man's Munson Place door and took him to the police station on Crompond Road.
There, Weber and Patrick Fouche, 60, of Peekskill were each charged with petty larceny, a misdemeanor. Police said the two on Oct. 21 stole a leaf blower off the back of a landscape truck parked on Strang Boulevard. ...

So I am replacing my derailler and I want to know if it's worth it to spend the extra jack for xt, or just save some money and get the lx?
So I am replacing my derailler and I want to know if it's worth it to spend the extra jack for xt, or just save some money and get the lx?
What did you have before? If it was crappy and you didn't like it, ugprade. If it was crappy and you liked it, don't upgrade.
If it was good... see above. lol
My friend has the LX and I have the XT and I've ridden both...I couldn't tell a difference, I said to hell with Shimano it's too picky and am happily running SRAM now.
yeah yeah, sram sram sram...I am sticking with shimano for this little fix. I had an xt, upgraded from an lx, but I did it before I was skilled in telling the difference. This is why I am asking. I guess I will just get the lx, why couldn't they make those in black instead of that stupid blue/gray color.
Which is funny because I went back to shimano.
back huh, that's a new one. I haven't had a problem with my shimano, other than spontaneous disintegration. I trust that was a truly random thing. I just wasn't meant to keep xt, I guess.
I'm still antidual control though.Originally Posted by alcahueteria
yeah, I haven't tried it out, but it just seems like expensive...real expensive, when my triggers and a seperate brake lever are working great.
I'm running XT with a XT trigger shift.
yeah, I have the deore, they came with the bike. I was thinking about upgrading, but I wanted to stick with a plastic/resin/whatever body just because I slammed my thumb into a metal one and split my nail open and decided I didn't like metal bodied shifters. The reason I say this of course is that I am pretty sure anything above deore is metal. Yeah, I'm really thinking lx though, I'm trying to save some money so I can afford another bike, xt would just be a waste.
Err no. I have all three Deore, LX and XT shifters and none of them is metal bodied. Bang for the buck go LX M570 series.Originally Posted by alcahueteria
Me neither. Xt...might last longer and might be lighter, but isn't worth the money in my world. Lx was great value. If I ever go shimano I would still use that level. Weight isn't much of a concern for me,Originally Posted by PWRDbyTRD
I like sram, but its an expensive switch (1 of my 3 bikes is sram, 1 is 2002 shimano and 1 is ss..)
thanks for the correction about the shifters raiyn, and thanks for finding a silver lx...that's freakin' awesome. I am going to check what my lbs has in stock today before I order anything offline though. Thanks to everyone else as well, for the replies.

A 16-year-old St. Paul boy has been charged in juvenile court with assaulting a classmate with a metal pipe in the Johnson High School cafeteria.
Witnesses told police Joshua Yang hit an 18-year-old student with a 22-inch pipe Monday.
According to the juvenile petition charging Yang with second-degree assault, a school staff member said the victim fell to the floor and began to shake and bleed heavily on the right side of his face. When police arrived, the student was not fully conscious and had a puncture wound near his mouth.
He was taken to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where he was treated and released, the police said.
When another staff member detained Yang, he noticed that the pipe was wrapped in notebook paper. "From: Josh Yang To: You" was written on the paper, said the petition, filed Wednesday, May 23, in Ramsey County District Court.
Also alleged in the petition:
Yang told police after his arrest that he had stored the pipe in his locker. He heard someone make a comment as he passed the victim's lunch table, and it made him angry.
He retrieved the pipe, returned to the cafeteria and struck the victim once to "get rid of some of the anger."
A surveillance video shows Yang approach the other student, sitting at a lunch table, then hit him from behind and walk away with the weapon, the petition said.
The fight occurred at the school, at 1349 Arcade St., between 11:20 and 11:40 a.m. Monday, a police report said.
The two teens had fought about two weeks earlier, Paulos said.
The 18-year-old had thrown corn at Yang, who threw a cup of water back, he said. The conflict escalated, and both were suspended for three days, the spokesman said.
As of Wednesday, Yang was being held in juvenile detention. The Ramsey County attorney's office has filed a motion with the court to certify him as an adult, which means the criminal proceedings would take place in adult court. A hearing on that matter is scheduled for June 22.
Toya Stewart Downey, St. Paul Public Schools spokeswoman, said hundreds of students would have been in the lunchroom at the time but she didn't know how many witnessed the assault.

The Horror of Amona
The government fears that outpost evacuation will be accompanied by serious violence and that it will be the one to pay the public price, which is what happened following the 2006 evacuation of the Amona outpost.
There is certainly more than one reason for the ongoing scandal regarding the non-evacuation of the illegal West Bank outposts, a matter on which the prime minister and defense minister trade accusations in a way that sounds farcical. But it's clear that one of the reasons is the trauma of Amona. The government fears that outpost evacuation will be accompanied by serious violence and that it will be the one to pay the public price, which is what happened following the 2006 evacuation of the Amona outpost.
Those who organized the violence at Amona, then, achieved their goal - belligerent intimidation of the government. They stated from the beginning that they would oppose the evacuation with force - with great force - and they kept to their word, winning big from the fact that the suppression of the violence they instigated looked bad on camera.
I saw a live television broadcast that showed mounted police twice attempting to disperse the crowd without using their clubs. Both times, they were warded off with a shower of stones that were big enough to be seen clearly on the screen. The third time, the mounted police used their clubs, and naturally, this looked bad. Of course, the evening news showed just the third attack, and since then those images have been broadcast again and again.
This doesn't mean that there wasn't also excessive and superfluous police violence, or that the police should be exempt from criticism. But in order to determine that police used excessive force, one must first accurately describe the force used against them, and that is something people tend not to do within the pseudo-humanitarian discourse developing in the wake of these events.
This discourse refuses to view keeping Israeli police officers' skulls intact as a humanitarian consideration. In addition, even when the police are legitimately criticized for an excess reaction to violence, it is the instigators of the violence who must be condemned first and foremost. Under no circumstances should they be allowed to gain political profit from the result of the confrontation they forced on the police.
The heroes and supporters of Amona are not alone. In its investigation of the October 2000 riots, which led to the deaths of 13 Arabs during clashes with police, the Or Commission - which did not shy away from criticizing the police - wrote the following about the conduct of Arab public officials.
"A pattern of threats of serious violence and of the use of violence for the sake of achieving various goals was engendered... Ahead of 2000, and during that year [there was] a significant increase in the frequency and intensity of clashes with police. Even though the slide from organized protests to unrestrained riots was consistently repeated, the Arab leadership did not make an effort to stop the deterioration toward violence... In addition, in the days following each event, public officials, in their statements and speeches, tended to heap praise on the protest activities, including violent activities."
The leaders described thus by the Or Commission emerged victorious in the public debate that developed after the publication of the commission's report, since that debate focused entirely on criticism of the police. This was the case even though the commission determined that before and during the riots, Arab leaders "transmitted messages encouraging violence," that "the intensity of the violence and aggression... was very high," and that this included "live fire in isolated cases." But who got to hear about the live fire? Not even one percent of the public debate dealt with that.
Police brutality against civilians is a real risk everywhere, and in Israel it's clear that Arab civilians are at greater risk than Jewish ones. We must deal with this risk - but fairly, without the language laundering that covers up deliberate political violence, and without rewarding that violence.

Super Bowl beer guide: Miami
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Jan 29, 2007
Florida is largely a mainstream beer kinda state. If you want something from the Big Three – Anheuser-Busch, SAB/Miller or Molson Coors – you're set; it's everywhere. There's even Yuengling Lager (a brand famous in my home state of Pennsylvania) all over the place, coming out of the big former Stroh brewery in Tampa.
If you want anything more, there are limited options. Your best bet, a sure thing, is the Gordon Biersch brewpub (1201 Brickell Avenue #250, 786-425-1130). Gordon Biersch makes German-type beers, and they make them well. They've also got the menu to match.
The Abbey (1115 16th St., 305/538-8110) is a "brewpub" that has their beers made elsewhere. No problem with that. The beers are good, the vibe's very laid-back (and not South Beach at all ... thank God ... we don't look good in thongs or pastels, so we try to stay away from South Beach).
The only issue at The Abbey for a 225 Club member is the limited chow options: pretty much hot dogs and a deep fryer, so bacon triple cheeseburgers are out. But, hey, if you're alone on a desert island and can have only one cooking implement, a deep fryer ain't a bad option.
I'd go on...but we're pretty much done.

This question already has an answer here:
We're doing a great deal of floating-point to integer number conversions in our project. Basically, something like this
for(int i = 0; i < HUGE_NUMBER; i++)
int_array[i] = float_array[i];
The default C function which performs the conversion turns out to be quite time consuming.
Is there any work around (maybe a hand tuned function) which can speed up the process a little bit? We don't care much about a precision.

Underrated Audio aims to provide you with some dope looks from the last seven days that flew under most peoples' radars.
Friday's finally come, and with that we've received the last record from rising rapper Suspect's week-long series, #WeekOfSuspect.
From a skeptical look at a higher being from Hopsin last week to a more religious approach taken by Lacrae this week, there has been no shortage of God talk on these pages lately.
You may not hear Suspect on the mainstream radio just yet, but, if reader feedback is any indication, the rapper's time is approaching.
Were you planning to sleep on Suspect today? Well, take his advice, and "Don't Think About It."
Last week we premiered Suspect's "Fatherless Child", and today we begin the first of our daily releases from the rapper, as part of our exclusive "Week Of Suspect" series.The Greg Scott-produced track, "Amen" is built off a wailing guitar sample, complimented
A rising emcee out of Kansas City, Missouri, Suspect grew up listening to the likes of Brotha Lynch Hung, Bone Thugs N Harmony, and Kriss Kross. A perceived oxymoron, the young emcee attended private school despite coming from a Crip-heavy neighborhood.
Suspect was a relatively new rapper we introduced you to back when he dropped his official debut mixtape, The Soul Food Trilogy, in March.
Police ID Suspect After Shooting Takes Place In the Home Of Chief Keef's Manager Apr 4, 2014 at 05:38pm
The Northfield Village shooting at Chief Keef's Manager's home has been an eyebrow-raising event. The shooting left a man critically wounded following numerous complaints about several disruptions taking place at the residence.
You could be forgiven for letting Suspect fly under your radar as up until now, there hasn't been too much detectable activity from this artist, save a mixtape called The Soul Food Trilogy (preceded by a mix called Appetizer).
Today we introduced you to a new rapper, Suspect, with his "appetizer" mixtape The Soul Food Trilogy.
We reported on the horrific news yesterday that a drunk driver at SXSW ran into a barricade outside of where Tyler, The Creator was supposed to perform, and proceeded to run over innocent pedestrians.
Suspect is a Kansas City native who is making his NHH debut today, March 14th, with the new project, The Soul Food Trilogy.
Near the end of June, Lil Snupe, a rising rapper from New Orleans, was tragically shot dead. The suspect in Snupe's murder turned himself in a few days later, but now cops have arrested a second suspect in the murder of the Dreamchaser artist.

Show me where it says in the military that a defensive action would exclude destroying your enemy.
For the fourth time, it doesn't EXCLUDE destroying the enemy. That is simply not the GOAL of defensive action, which is why a defensive action that manages to destroy the enemy can still fail as a defensive action. That is the whole point of the distinction, in fact: an offensive action is taken for the singular goal of eliminating the enemy forces from the battlefield, one way or another. Defensive action is something you to do prevent your OWN elimination.
That can include killing or destroying their units.
Of course it can. But that is not the GOAL.
So what do you think about the tail gunners on a WW2 bomber? They're firing guns to destroy enemy planes that are attacking them yet they are in a defensive role since they are unlikely to fly the bomber backwards to chase down an enemy plane.
They're also unlikely to SHOOT DOWN the enemy plane. That isn't the point anyway: the gunners' job is to shoot at the enemy, forcing them to take evasive action and make it harder for them to attack the bombers. If you can kill them, great, but since you usually CAN'T, it's enough to keep them from really shooting at you.
The same applies to escort planes, actually. The escorts are expected to pass up opportunities to kill enemy aircraft if it means staying with the bomber formation and defending it. If you shoot down every enemy plane in the sky but loose all of your bombers, your defensive action has failed.
Now, a defensive WEAPON is one that is optimized for use in a defensive action. Tailguns on bombers is one example. Some close-in weapon systems on naval vessels also qualify. Defensive weapons can be used offensively under some circumstances, but that, again, is not the reason they were installed and not how they were INTENDED to be used.
And you can also control the ship completely from Engineering as seen in "The Ultimate Computer" when they wired in an automation device that could not be manually overridden.
They wired an automation device that CHOSE NOT to be manually overridden. There was, if you remember, a manual override built into Kirk's chair specifically for that reason (and M5 went out of its way to bypass it).
Do you have a screenshot to connect that to a ladderway? It just looks like some part of engineering.
Note the ladder located behind Scotty (the other engineer is holding a piece of equipment in front of it). Note the lights on the wall next to him. Most importantly, note the fact that Scotty's right shoulder is resting against the hatch on the bottom of the ladderway; this is the same hatch that Spock pulls open on his way to the engine room just before he sacrifices his life.
You didn't cover manual override as I had written earlier. So again, if it was just a software problem Scotty could have gone for a manual override.
Which would have gotten him what, exactly, since he still wouldn't be able to control those systems from the bridge without the automation center in place?
They had plenty of time to face off against the BOP and listen to Kruge's threats and David's death.
It was too late by then. Without the automation center there's no way to actually run the Enterprise with just six people. Even if they could still get their systems working at that point (with an unshielded torpedo hit at that range, what condition is the ship even IN?) they wouldn't be able to control them effectively. Without automation it takes at least 60 people to run the ship; it simply wasn't an option.
Depends on what you're trying to do. Manually running the ship on an extended trip would be a problem with 6 people. But going downstairs to manually activate a device (see Generations) or transfer power to phasers doesn't appear to be an insurmountable task if manual override was an option.
Again, after being hit by a photon torpedo that's a pretty delicate operation there may not be any time for.
More importantly, even in generations this involved Kirk running down to deflector control and making modifications to the system so the fully-staffed bridge crew could activate the deflector and steer their totally undamaged ship out of danger. Imagine them trying to pull off that same trick with a thirty-foot hole in the computer core and only four functional people on the bridge.
It hit to the port side of the deflection crystal housing
It never got anywhere near the deflector crystal housing. Slightly aft of the bridge, either directly aft or a little to starboard.
So where is your evidence that their training flight would have excluded a training exploration at some point in their itinerary?
You're asking me to prove a negative. Does a training cruise that may not even leave the solar system include exploration missions to actual planets? IF it does, then we might make the case for the presence of mission-ready scientific equipment that might have been useful on genesis. But there's no indication they were planning any of the kind, and the lack of such equipment works as an explanation for why they had to return to spacedock to be refitted for an exploration mission.
Another thought: what would Enterprise have done against Chang if they WEREN'T carrying all that equipment for cataloging gaseous anomalies?
Pulverizing a "small" 200-300meter asteroid would require significant energy.
Depends on the asteroid; a gravelpit with very little cohesion could be broken apart even if the torpedo had no warhead.
Then again, I wouldn't call 200 to 300 meters "small."

Electronic Automatic Temperature Control Module Self-Test Ă The EATC module self-test will not detect concerns associated with data link messages like engine coolant temperature or vehicle speed signals. A scan tool must be used to retrieve these concerns. Ă The EATC module self-test will detect concerns in the system control functions and will display hard diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in addition to intermittent diagnostic trouble codes for concerns that occur during system operation. The vehicle interior temperature should be between 4 -32 C (40 -90 F) when performing the self-test. If the temperatures are not within the specified ranges, false in-car temperature sensor DTCs will be displayed. Ă The self-test can be initiated at any time. Normal operation of the system stops when the self- test is activated. Ă To enter the self-test, press the OFF and FLOOR buttons simultaneously and then press the AUTOMATIC button within two seconds. The display will show a pulse tracer going around the center of the display window. The test may run as long as 30 seconds. Record all DTCs displayed. Ă If any DTCs appear during the self-test, follow the diagnostics procedure given under ACTION for each DTC given. Ă If a condition exists but no DTCs appear during the self-test, refer to the SYMPTOM CHART Condition: The EATC System Is Inoperative, Intermittent or Improper Operation. Ă To exit self-test and retain all intermittent DTCs, push the blue (cooler temperature) button. The control will exit self-test, retain all intermittent DTCs and then turn OFF (display blank). Ă To exit self-test and clear all DTCs, press the DEFROST button. The vacuum fluorescent display window will show 888 and all function symbols for one second. Then, the EATC control assembly will turn OFF (display blank) and all DTCs will be cleared. Ă Always exit the self-test before powering the system down (system turned OFF). Ă Intermittent DTCs will be deleted after 80 ignition switch ON cycles after the intermittent condition occurs.

Freshwater fish belonging to the pike family are voracious in appetite and often ferocious in appearance. They have long heads, undershot lower jaws, long narrow bodies, small scales, and large mouths armed with strong, sharp teeth. The pikes' gray-green bodies with dark markings blend with the weedy waters along the shores of lakes and streams. There they lie in wait, motionless. As their prey comes within reach, they make a sudden rapid lunge and seize it. Pikes usually eat small fishes, insects, and aquatic invertebrates, but larger forms also take waterfowl and small mammals.

GAME NOTES: The Northwestern Wildcats will try to get back on track as they visit the Baylor Bears for a non-conference duel at the Ferrell Center.
Bill Carmody's Wildcats had the momentum of their 6-0 start erased by back-to- back home losses to Maryland (77-57) and Illinois-Chicago (50-44). Northwestern returned to Illinois as the champions of the South Padre Island Invitational, but it allowed a season-high 77 points to the Terps before scoring a season-low of 44 versus the Flames. After shooting 47 percent or better from the floor in their first four games, the Wildcats have been held under 40 percent on their field goal tries in their last four games.
The Bears surprised many in their last outing by picking up a 64-55 decision over the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington. Baylor's win at No. 8 Kentucky was its first-ever non-conference road win against a top-25 team. It snapped Kentucky's nation-leading 55-game home winning streak and gave the Wildcats their first home loss under fourth-year coach John Calipari. The win improved the team's record to 5-2 overall. Coach Scott Drew's squad was a big underdog heading to Rupp Arena after it fell 63-59 at home to the College of Charleston the week before.
Baylor won the only previous meeting with Northwestern as the seventh ranked Bears posted a 69-41 win in Evanston Dec. 4, 2011.
Northwestern is outscoring its opponents by an average of 11.2 ppg this season despite its inconsistent play. The Wildcats went ice cold after halftime in their loss to UIC. They managed to make only 29.2 percent of their field goals including just 1-of-8 beyond the arc over the final 20 minutes. The Wildcats also made 10-of-20 at the charity stripe in the contest and committed 16 turnovers in the loss. Senior swingman Drew Crawford paced the team with 18 points and Reggie Hearn finished just shy of a double-double with 10 points and nine boards. Hearn (13.9 ppg) and Crawford (13.8) are neck-and-neck for the team's scoring lead. Sophomore point guard Dave Sobolewski has been solid with 10 points, 4.4 assists, and 2.3 rebounds per contest.
Baylor held the Wildcats to just 30 percent shooting, their lowest its ever finished a contest with under Calipari. The Bears were much more efficient as they drained 40.7 percent of their field goal attempts and scored 23 points off of turnovers. Drew's team played as a unit to pick up the win as all five starters scored in double figures. Senior floor general Pierre Jackson led the way with 17 points, seven assists, seven rebounds, and four steals. Jackson is leading the Big 12 in scoring (19.9 ppg) and assists (6.4 apg). Senior forward Cory Jefferson and freshman center Isaiah Austin make up a powerful frontcourt tandem for Baylor. Spot up shooter Brady Heslip and defensive specialist A.J. Walton round out the starting five.
Northwestern frequently employs a 1-3-1 zone on the defensive end of the floor. The Wildcats may be forced out of their comfort zone by the shooting of Heslip and Jackson. Austin and Jefferson should be able to give Baylor a big edge in the rebounding battle which tends to lead to similar advantages on the scoreboard.

Alfred and Matthew had run ahead on the beach, and out of your sights. "Ma! Ma! Look what I found!"
Alfred and Matthew soon came back within sights, Alfred holding in one hand, his brother's hand, and the other a sea shell. "It's beautiful Al."
"It's for you," he said putting it in your hand. Matthew let go of his twin's hand and grabbed onto your skirt.
"Mama, I wanna go home," he yawned, "I'm tired."
You looked up at the sun, "Well it does seem time for your nap."
Alfred jumped up and down, "I don't need a nap!"
Matthew reached up for you to carry him. "Mama "
Making sure he had his teddy bear you picked him up and held him on your hip. With your other hand you took Alfred's hand, "Time to go Al. The beach can get mighty scary if you don't have someone to protect you."
"I'm not tired," he complained.
"You still need to get a nap while I make dinner," you said.
On the way back to your small cottage

After he recognized the scent to be yours the bored cat started to destroy the toy,little did he know that the toy he was tearing up was your absolute favorite toy.
After he had completely and utterly destroyed your toy he turned around to leave and ran straight into your face."2P!Americat, why did you destroy my toy?" you asked with rising anger in your kitty claws. He did a double take before he regained his usual smirk and responded with an arrogant flick of his tail "Because I felt like it ______, it's fun to destroy things" He started to saunter out the cat door when he heard a low growl, "

"My cat is awesomer than yours!" shouted Beer-Breath to your master
"Is not!" she shouted back.
"This is stupid," you muttered settling in for another nap. Gilcat, your mate, was off trying to fish. That idiot did not get that there were no fish in the bathtub. Groaning you felt a slight kick. Your master and Beer-Breath didn't seem to understand that you were pregnant with kittens.
Gilcat walked back in with Gilbird on his head. It was a wonder that he didn't eat the tiny chick; he was a cat after all. "There were no fish." You turned your head and let out a snort of laughter. He was soaked; his white fur was dripping with water and suds.
"Gil, come here," you said, "they're kicking again."
Ecstatic he ran over and nuzzled your stomach. "Our kittens are going to be awesome!"
"Yep, just like their daddy," you purred.
"So had Beer-Breath and (creative name for your master) found out that you're pregnant yet?"
"No," you giggled, "I bet it'll be a big surprise when they .do." you let

"We have a really big selection of cats as you can see." Elizabeta laughed.
She was right. You didn't think you had ever seen as many cats as there were in this place. A small tabby rubbed up against your leg. He had a funny curl on his head.
"Thats Itabby." she pointed to a dark gray cat, "Thats his friend Germouser."
Nodding you crouched, patting the cat's head. A rather large white cat sauntered up to you. He had a friendly air about him.
"Whats this guys name?" You rubbed a hand across his fluffy head.
Elizabeta raised an eyebrow, "Thats Francis. He likes to cause trouble." You stared at the cat. He winked up at you.
Kinda weird for a cat.......
"He really doesn't look like he causes that much trouble." You mused aloud.
Elizabeta snorted. "Between him and his friends....." She motioned towards two cats sitting across the room. They were also white, although one had beige patches of fur.
The fluffy cat loo
Nekotalia!EnglandxReader England has been scratching away at the white door for hours, since he first arrived at the young nation's home. There were now visible claw-marks from where he was scratching away and his fur was becoming drenched from the rain that started falling.Nekotalia!EnglandxReader4 years ago in Romance More Like This
Clawing. Fur.
Yes, one of England's spells backfired on him and he was reduced to the mere form of a cat. He couldn't use magic and if he asked any other nation for help, they would surely make fun of him for it.
Seeing as how __________ was a fresh new face in their world, he thought maybe she wouldn't be as careless about the situation compared to the rest of the countries.
Again, he started clawing at the door for awhile more. Only then did his hair prick up with the feeling that something was watching him. Sure enough, as he turned around, a dark pair of eyes lay on him...
Waking up, you heard something scratching at the door. Slowly arising from your warm bed, you slipp
