A 'We Shall Overcome' razz
A raspberry to the Menifee Planning Commission for denying California Ranch Grocery a conditional use permit that would have allowed the local grocer to (gasp!) sell demon beer and wine.
Commissioners were swayed by two folks who spoke against the booze sales, with Commissioner Lesa Sobek channeling celebrated temperance movement leader Cary Nation when she said, "We love our families, we love our kids, and I think we need to protect our future."
Yes, a couple of cold ones will certainly create an unstitchable tear in Menifee's fine moral fabric....
The owners of California Ranch will appeal the Planning Commission's ridiculous denial to the City council. We hope common sense will prevail — as the building's owner said, "Alcohol is legal. It's not the 1920s anymore" — and the grocers manage to, well, overcome a very poor decision.
A 'Local Hero' rose
A rose to Murrieta resident Kevin Ester, a San Diego firefighter who helped police snag a pair of destructive vandals by doing what so few of us do nowadays: get involved.
Ester witnessed two boys tagging a wall with spray paint, called 911 and then collared them until police could arrive. In a letter of commendation to his boss, San Diego Fire Chief Javier Mainar, Murrieta Police Chief Mike Baray said the two young hooligans — just 12 years old — are likely involved in a series of tagging incidents that have resulted in more than $10,000 in damage.
A 'Hump Day' rose
A rose to the Wildomar City Council for approving a policy to install traffic humps in residential neighborhoods to slow traffic, but only if enough residents want them.
As suburbs are built up — as they were in the years leading up to the Great Recession — more and more motorists skirt major arterials and find snaky "short cuts" along residential streets. The problem is, they don't always slow down and adhere to the legal speed limit, as they are determined to beat their more patient peers who stick to the big roads, congested as they may be.
Traffic humps literally have been popping up in residential neighborhoods across Southern California, and as anyone who's sped over one will tell you, they work.
And with more kids playing outside due to the steadily shrinking backyards of suburbia, traffic humps are not only a way to make sure motorists obey the law. They're a way to save lives.
A 'Water of Life' rose
A rose to Riverside County Supervisor Kevin Jeffries for calling a meeting of relevant government agencies to discuss extending public water district service to about 140 homes on the Wildomar-Menifee border.
Residents of the little neighborhood, which is served by a private company, have been complaining about poor water quality and shoddy service; the Elsinore Valley and Eastern municipal water districts, whose service areas surround the left-out community, say they'll provide service as long as they can get outside financing.
That's where Jeffries comes in — although he concedes he's worried about the threat of lawsuits from residents who claim they've been harmed by contaminated water. Their current water supply isn't drinkable because of high nitrate levels, and the owners of the private company didn't deploy a fix when it was offered through a grant from the state Department of Public Health.
We trust residents won't be petty enough to sue once the public water districts take over. And we urge all parties involved to ensure a smooth, seamless transition.

LAS VEGAS — There's a lot on the line for Bergen Catholic when they kickoff against Bishop Gorman in a few hours.
Bergen Catholic is playing further away from home than it has ever played — 2,538 miles to be exact. And if they can get the win against Bishop Gorman, there might be more to gain than has ever been gained for this program before.
A road win over a proven power like Bishop Gorman would put the Crusaders into the conversation as one of the unquestioned top-tier teams in the country. And if Don Bosco loses in Florida, a Bergen Catholic win tonight could serve as a passing of the torch. We could have a new top dog in New Jersey football.
But it's going to be a steep hill for the Crusaders to climb.
Bergen Catholic has done well against out-of-state opponents, winning 11 of their last 12 contests against out of state teams. But this is no ordinary out of state team.
The Gaels are averaging 39.5 points per game in their two wins and generating more than 400 yards of offense. The Crusaders are also a high-flying offensive machine. Of the 24 games coach Nunzio Campanile has presided over the Bergen Catholic football program, the Crusaders have scored more than 30 points in 16 of them. Bergen Catholic won all of those games. (BC is 3-5 in games they scored less than 30 under Campanile)
Tonight's game is going to be a real shootout as we see two of the best high school offensive minds — Campanile and Bishop Gorman coach Tony Sanchez — in the country go after each other. Sanchez, insanely, has averaged about 50 points per game in his three plus years at Gorman so far. Expect a high scoring game that goes down to the final few possessions. This game will be won one of two ways. By the defense that gets the critical turnover, or by the offense that has the ball last.
Bishop Gorman isn't used to losing; they come into tonight's game with a 28-game losing streak. Bishop Gorman actually lost last Aug. 26, when they were stopped at home by Armwood (FL). However, Armwood later vacated all its wins because it was found to be using ineligible players. That means Bishop Gorman's last official loss was in September of 2010.
In case you wanted to know a little bit more about Bishop Gorman: they're unquestionably the team in these parts, winners of their last three state football titles. They also have a nationally ranked basketball and baseball team. They have beautiful facilities (check www.twitter.com/varsityaces tonight, I'll be tweeting some pics of the scene), and an enrollment of about 1,300 (Bergen Catholic's enrollment is 770).
Now for the offensive weapons that you should be on the lookout for: four-year starting quarterback Anu Solomon will present serious problems for BC. In two game he's thrown for 27-for-41 for 494 yards and six touchdowns. He's also rushed 11 times for two touchdowns, so he's dangerous in that way, too.
Solomon's top targets are senior WR Ryan Smith (six receptions, 152 yards, three TDs) and senior WR Jamir Tillman (11 receptions, 123 yards, 1 TD).
Bergen Catholic's offense is just as formidable. Senior QB Jon Germano went 16-for-20 for 318 yards and four TDs against St. Anthony last week. In 12 games as Bergen Catholic's starting QB, Germano hast thrown for 35 touchdowns. But the key could be the run game. Senior RB James Dawson had 20 carries for 135 yards and a touchdown against St. Anthony's last week. If the Crusaders can run the ball and control the clock against a prolific passing attack such as Bishop Gorman, they'll have a much better chance of coming out on top.
Well, we're less than two hours away from kickoff now. Be sure to check www.varsityaces.com/twitter all night for scoring updates and check back here after the game for full coverage of what happened.

The Functions of Protection Agencies - Extensions of the Long Arms of Law
By: James Ella |
Regulatory compliance
The 21st century has seen a growing demand for protection agencies and the services they offer. This could be due to the fact that burgeoning terrorism and insurgency has led to an increase in potential destruction to human lives, or that hedonistic desires have spiraled out of control leading to a sharp jump in petty crimes. Whatever the reason may be, protection agencies have now become popular for services like personal protection, executive protection, and monitoring security systems at offices and homes. They perform numerous specialized security functions that range from conducting investigations, organized assaults in tandem with authorized government bodies, and a number of protection services. And each of these is delivered with a high degree of specialization, expertise and skill.

Comment Of The Week: Gaming Needs Constructive Criticism
The debate over whether or not Video Games are art seems never ending. Naysayers continue to naysay, of course, but after last year's historic Supreme Court victory, it would seem at least officially, it's time to admit that, yes, they are. But acknowledging something and internalizing it are two different things, and thus gamer culture still seems somewhat stuck, unsure of itself as simply passive consumers, or active participants in the interactive conversation between creator and audience that defines all other art forms. Accepting whatever you're given gets you labeled a corporate stooge while offering even minimal criticism results in everyone calling you a hater.
Jim Sterling examined that tension aptly in a column this week, Videogames: Loving the Art, Hating the Business, which addressed the question he often gets, "why are you writing about videogames if they piss you off so much?". As usual, our readers chimed in, and today's comment of the week goes to Game Front reader BRBonobo, who suggested his own experience in art school as the model the gaming community should follow.
"Being able to criticize something you love is valuable." This point really resonates with me.
When I have taken creative writing classes, the hardest part of the class is always getting my peers to give critical feedback. They always want to say "well, but it's good," and I find myself saying, "yes, but that isn't the point." I can only improve if I can see what is wrong with a project.
This is just as true for a video game. If no one is willing to talk about the flaws in even their favorite games, the next game will always be a little worse."
We wholeheartedly endorse that, and not just because we enjoy the chance to let our inner cranks out for the day. Thanks, BRBonobo, and congratulations.
Of course, this week was full of great comments, and though we could only choose one as comment of the week, we were… amused, I'll say, at the response our own CJ Miozzi received for his lengthy exploration of he's afraid to review Diablo 3. As befits a series with such an intense fanbase, it only makes sense that the feature garnered some rather excited comments, but we were particularly impressed by the deft way a commenter calling himself Jonny reacted to CJ for having the temerity to admit fearing the rage of the fanbase. By expressing the rage of the fanbase.
Your article is bad and you should feel bad. Dont worry, say what ever you want on your final review, its not worth the reading based on this.
Fortunately, the good people of the Game Front reader community came to his defense, including this masterful comment by clamsarehot, that manages to attack trolls, and to troll, at the same time:
Note how fanboys don't attack the content, they attack the person, because they don't have an argument. Kind of like liberals.
It's like mixing gasoline with the water you're using to put out a fire. Well played sir, well played.

Outstanding production - what albums do you think deserve recognition?
So, here's a thread where we can discuss the stuff we think is exceptionally well recorded and produced.
This isn't a show and tell of 'bands you like', it's all about the production. A lot of the time this might end up being your favourite artists anyway, but try and keep it to the stuff you think is a great example of recording, mixing and mastering.
If you want to go into detail about why you like it, please do; it's much more interesting than just a bunch of youtube clips.
Go mad with the genres and styles, anything goes as long as it sounds great :D
I'll get the ball rolling with a few picks of my own:
Joe Satriani - Joe Satriani (1995)
Really natural and organic sounding, like you're just sitting in a room with a bunch of talented musicians. The drum sound is tighter than a nun's ****, and the guitars are fat and warm without resorting to loads of 'big stereo' phase trickery. You can pick out every single instrument clearly.
Morphine - The Night (2000)
A great example of setting mood and feel through mixing. Gives you a huge sense of acoustic space even though there's no audible reverb. It's like the difference between a photo and a window, there's this sense you're actually looking in at the music rather than a flat, 2d representation.
The Mars Volta - De-loused In The Comatorium (2003)
Manages to sound absolutely huge without ever losing a sense of dynamics or clarity, even when there's a ton of crazy stuff going on. Incisive and biting while still having a ton of vintage-tinged fatness in the lower-mids. Hard to believe this was mastered by the same guy who made a total mess of Californication.
Wes Montgomery - Smokin' At The Half-Note (1965)
Technically a live album, although some of it was re-recorded in a studio afterwards. Again, like many great jazz albums, you feel as though you're just sitting in a club listening to them play around you. Everything has its own space, and there's only the most basic production going on - what you're hearing is the sound of great instruments through great mics, through a great console, wielded by great players.
My personal benchmark:
Def Leppard's Hysteria album. 1987.
Mutt Lange at his finest. He brings the rock, but the production has so many little details, while he manages to keep everything in its own space. It sounds panoramic more than it sounds huge. A great example of that clinical, perfect style of production, while still managing to have some vitality to it.
Though this was the age of the beginning of digital recording, and everyone believes this was a digital album, it was actually analog.
A more recent contender would be the original American Hi-Fi album. Holy mother, Bob Rock gets a massive sound - especially in the guitars. Unlike the Mutt production of Def Leppard, this is a completely no-sh!t approach to recording a rock band. Still nice and polished and shiny, but just straight up and in your face, as if they just rocked it live.
My favourite newer production is the Skrillex mix of Korn's Narcissistic Cannibal. Really hi-tech again, but sounds bloody huge. I really think it represents mastery of blending electronica and metal. The electronic aspects add to the aggression rather than watering it down and making it all dancey.
Opeth's "Heritage". This album, to me, is really great sounding. They didn't overdo it with the maximizing on this, which is wonderful. Despite that, it still sounds contemporary and not dated.
Soilwork's had amazing production for a long time. My pick goes to Natural Born Chaos. Huge guitar tone, plenty of bass presence (which really shows in the bridge of the title track), clear vocals (even when the cleans are doubled with harshes), and every drum hit cuts right through the mix.
I keep plugging Moonsorrow, so why stop now? Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa is how to mix epic folk metal. The guitars don't stick out, but form part of a giant, engulfing, bassy mass of sound. There are keyboards, but they're mostly used for atmosphere, even the melodic parts. It's basically a black metal film score.
(I would have picked "Huuto" instead, but the only uploads were one in a quality that doen't do the intro justice, and one with some douchelord called "Wontolla" playing over it.)
For me, the album/production I've been using as a reference for most metal has been Unearth's 'The March' for at least a year and a half now. For a modern metal mix, I think it's nearly perfect - guitars sound great, lead guitar sounds epic, the drums are all clear and sound full, the bass is heavy and combines perfectly with the guitars and kick... and the vocals cut through like a knife. Literally the only complaint I have, is that whoever let the snare clip at the start of Crowkiller and We Are Not Anonymous, which sounds like a compressor not kicking in quick enough at the start of those two songs.
Mutt Lange. One of my personal favorite producers of all time. Great tones, GREAT production (the birth of the commercial hooky rock song) and great mix all throughout this album, if you don't know Mutt Lange check him out. He's kind of a big deal (Back in Black, 3 Def Leppard Albums, Shania Twain, Maroon 5, you name it he's done it)
Disciple. I forget who produced this album, but the drum tones and guitar tones are some of my favorite ever in this genre. It is the definition of HUGE in my opinion
EDIT Axemancrhis thanks for pointing everything out already on Mutt!
also, one of my recent favorites:
Aaron Sprinkle: His attention to detail MAKES songs, its the little things he loves tambourine for some reason, but whatever. He has credit on a lot of albums, but my personal favorite is I Am Empire's "Kings" a great example of his attention to detail for a band and just making good hard rock. He balances the 80s flamboyance with modern production so well. The guitar tones are IMPRESSIVE and the Drums are great also!
DoubleEDIT: Axemanchris: nice call on "women" not many people catch that song, but it is beautifully produced!
I actually really enjoyed the production on Whitechapel's new album, the songwriting is alright, nothing too special (as in most deathcore sort of music, they seem to eat, drink and breathe cliches) but it's just so heavy and atmospheric.
EDIT: Can't believe no-one's posted any Devin Townsend yet, the man is a production god. So many layers.
Totally. If you try to go for Devin Townsend's sound, but you're not Devin Townsend, this is what happens:
As much as I loved Time I, it doesn't sound like Jari spent eight years on mixing.
I feel like Time I has a very different feel from Devin's stuff. It's SUPPOSED to be very primarily orchestral - like the guitars are part of an orchestra as opposed to there being symphonic elements behind the guitars/bass/drums.
I don't know if lack of production necessarily fits in here and I don't mean bring this thread down and be all generic and whatnot, but I can't decide, from a "production" point of view, which Metallica album I think is best.
"Master Of Puppets" was very tight sounding, much more so than the first two albums, but I had an issue with the bass on that album not being as pronounced as I had hoped. Honestly, if it weren't for that issue, I might just say "Master Of Puppets" and be done with it. Nevertheless, still very robust, full, and "big" sounding given they're just a regular band (drummer, bassist, couple of guitarists, and vocals).
"Ride The Lightning," on the other hand, was in between "Kill 'Em All" and "Master Of Puppets" in terms of both release date and production value. More refined than "Kill 'Em All," but not overly so. "Kill 'Em All" was very punk, out there, in-your-face, and (obviously) lacked high-end production value. "Ride The Lightning," though, felt like what Metallica was 'supposed' to sound like. Very hard to explain, but I believed that to be their staple sound. Others would argue that "Master Of Puppets" was the 'ideal' Metallica sound, but I digress. Overall, the production seemed to almost flawlessly match the type of music being produced. It was raw, but not as raw as the previous album. It was also tighter, but not to the extend that "Master Of Puppets" seemed to be.
I was originally going to mention E.L.O.'s "Out Of The Blue," but I could barely find the words for Metallica let alone a musical giant like the Electric Light Orchestra :)
I guess we disagree. To me, it feels more like it was arranged for the band, instead of the orchestra, and the orchestra hits drown out the percussion (all across the spectrum, too) and undermine the beat.
I still can't get over this guitar tone. The entire album has pretty much the PERFECT Metal guitar tone in my eyes.
I've never heard anyone get close to this tone on a modern metal album.
imo, it doesn't sound contemporary at all - and that's one of the things that makes it so brilliant
A few favorites of the top of my head:
Katatonia - Night is the New Day
Gojira - L'enfant Sauvage
The Dear Hunter - The Color Spectrum
Devin - Ki
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Tool - Lateralus
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
It's a flawed sounding album, but probably my favorite of all time in terms of production. It just captures everything well.
There is a band I think called "Theory Of A Dead Man" or something like that...I thought production, mixing, mastering sounded excellent, but not my favorite type of music.
Amen, brother.
No votes for Bob Rock's masterpiece "St. Anger?" :rolleyes: :haha:
See, that's the thing with those pop bands - whether it be Theory of a Dead Man, Nickelback, Katy Perry, One Direction, Maroon 5, Lady Gaga or whoever (Mutt Lange produced huge hits by three of those artists right there!), is that they sound f**ing brilliant. The genre demands it. It's just a shame that the music is often pretty pallid.
I commend him from achieving to sound so inconsistently bad. I mean, if I intentionally tried to reproduce the level of godless hilarity that production conveys I would still have some unconscious safeguards granting my failure.
Now that I think of it, it is the clown car of productions. Bob Rock is a comedy genius.
^ :haha: You win. Comedy genius. That's it.
I heard an interview and he was saying something to the effect of "everything is just so overproduced these days... we wanted to avoid being too perfect." Well, yeah. You certainly made sure of that.
It's completely unfathomable that a guy who could probably wear a spaceman helmet and still mix a better record than I ever could would release something to the public that is of a quality that I could improve on with a soundblaster card, an SM57 and a Phonic mixer. :haha:
Agreed on all points, I love Mutt. SO friggin good, I also think Mike Shipley is a great engineer/producer that isn't credited often enough, he helped with a TON of Mutt's 80s stuff

His cock is to big...

Decided to go toy shopping today. Went to the Castle Superstore I wanted to get a we vibe. Sadly they were out of them.
So Rob and I walk around browsing when I say I wanna find a big ol dildo that makes his cock look small. This is a very big store with alot of adult toys. After taking two laps around I decided that Rob is just to darn big.
not that I am complaining but here we are in a giant toy store and I couldnt find one dildo that looked really bigger than him. A few were slightly larger but nothing that was impressive and worth spending money on.
I know my man is very well endowed but I didnt think a toy store wouldnt carry something larger. Guess I am really spoiled after all
Just curious ladies in your experience is 9" really that rare?
Now to the internet to find a giant dlido

Ohh Hell... piece of cake- all ya gotta do is find the nearest deli for one those different sized plastic vacuum packed sausages!
Problem solved!!!
Oct 17 @ 7:54PM
Yah, I would say 9" is kind of rare. Iit really is girth and shape of the mushroom head that matters more than how far a guy can bang against your cervix.
The inflatable dildos are kinda fun. I bought a Large and and XL and frankly the large is too big to consider. I gave the XL away to a friend... LOL.
They are also not as pricey as the solid rubber ones...
where I got my inflatable dildos
Oct 17 @ 8:26PM
not meaning any disrespect or anything,
cos peeps here hopefully know me better than that, but it always left me wondering
if women wanted/needed huge cocks, doesn't that say something about the size of them.
* runs off and hides behind ynot before they start throwing missiles ....
Oct 17 @ 10:56PM
See... that is why guys my size come in handy.... easier to find a dildo that is way bigger...
Oct 17 @ 11:32PM
Just curious ladies in your experience is 9" really that rare?
Not among Native American men.
Oct 17 @ 11:45PM
Not among men I've dated/ married/ lived with.......is he the first big one you've been with?? Just curious!???
Oct 17 @ 11:47PM
@ LBS....ya think she never got a good size one b4 this ???
*sits n waits to see how this develops*
now..what was the question??? 9'' rare??? umm ...*looks in his pants* ..guess depends WHERE you're looking ..
Oct 18 @ 1:48AM
...when ya have the real thing..why???????????? would ya be looking for another option?
Oct 18 @ 2:12AM
...ok...I get it...ya want 2 holes to be filled at the same time!...I like big cock cause there is more to paly with...ever tried blowing or jacking a teenie weenie?why bother.
I could pick my teeth with one though!
Oct 18 @ 2:20AM
bunny and ynot
Yes it was to fill both holes...I dont care how talented a guy is he dont have two
Oct 18 @ 2:43AM
...it took me a minute to figure out why you were shoppin!...boy do I need a vacation from not getting laid.....
...it is causing some serious brain fats..but unfortunarely...I love the larger cock...and the one I had died..and I aint talkin about my dildo...
Oct 18 @ 7:16AM
our ole mate Revlove Doc always used to tell us ; I like a lady with small hands cos they make my cock look big
Oct 18 @ 3:32PM
Tassie....you just crack me up....
Well ya'll know my luck....bad enough that I always got small to average but then they were so accustom to doing the job themselves that they couldn't keep it hard without using their hand while sticking it in...then their hand is in the way..
I have one guy...still pops in a couple times a year and OMG!!! Nine inches 'n thick! Once he quit drinkin' whiskey during the evening, then he could get that baby standin' tall. He'd bend me over the back of the couch and my heart would be racing with fear.
Yep, fear. I'm so tight and even with baby oil I had to trust him to be slow and easy. But after the initial pain of stretching I loved his riding me hard, hard, hard! And a couple of slaps on my ass just topped it off,
See....I still remember some things when they're worth remembering...
Now, as for size.....TASSIE...listen up. I am tight and average dicks work just fine...
but...for me...I like 'em big...9 inches is the max though...prefer 7-8. I could be wrong but I think most women's errogenous zone is just inside their vagina and it's not the DEPTH that a big cock can reach but the maximum STROKING of that errogenous spot and of course thickness just adds to the pleasure.
Yes, some women have big, sloppy pussys just as some men have 3 inch dicks.
As for having a dick in my ass? Let's just say...it t'wouldn't be a safe thing for a guy to do if he cherishes his health...that is an exit only! I would not hesitate to deck a guy that did that...even if he says "OOPS".
Oct 18 @ 3:45PM
...all I know is when a guy with a teenie weenie is stroking it in me...he can't stay in. My entrance is tight, and so is my canal.... I have always been that way. The larger cock can fuck me hard and fast and not keep poppin out when the motion gets fast. It is unfortunate, but I still love the larger cock....but hey..everyone has their own preference
Oct 18 @ 5:08PM
But after the initial pain of stretching I loved his riding me hard, hard, hard! And a couple of slaps on my ass just topped it off
thats what I am talking about...hurts sooo good
Oct 18 @ 5:10PM
he can't stay in. My entrance is tight
I have a simular problem. My muscles down there are very strong and I can push out a average guy without trying. Heck a good cough or sneeze and Rob gets shot out
Oct 18 @ 6:48PM
Now this is a fun blog!!!
I must say I too am one for bigger cock.....I'm tight going in too and I love feelin every thick inch of my man!
I met a guy a while back who had a little pecker and as sorry as I am to say-it was a HUGE disappointment. Just like Bunny was sayin.....he can't stay in......On the flip side....never had one that was TOO big.....hmmm.....
So...everyone has their preference...and their favorite "types" and I just have to say....
YES! SIZE DOES MATTER! ( to me)
Oct 18 @ 8:05PM
Lot of women like big dick, some like to be fucked hard and want it all the way in. It's amazing how much they can take, a pussy so tight it can squeeze a little finger and then take a long thick cock.
Oct 18 @ 8:54PM
never had one that was TOO big.....hmmm.....
only seen one that scared me...I was 18 and it was bigger than my arm
Oct 19 @ 12:23AM
They all scare me.... I run from them....
Oct 19 @ 1:28AM
...yo longhorn...a woman can pop a baby out of a puss...why couldn't she take nine or ten inches....
Oct 15 @ 8:31PM
wow I guess I am really lucky cause my man is way over 9" and my orgasms are so huge I almost have blackouts and have three or four more when he is done as i just lay there. and then i simmer all night. not to mention he lasts way longer than a small one. and we went to the lions den adult super store and they have dildos up to 18" long and upto 12" around if you really wanna damage your holes i stayed with what i am finally getting used to

Right, my training has been going real bad for about a year now. This is no joke..every single time I train ...about 15-30 mins after i feel dizzy, my nose gets bunged up and i basically feel shitty.next day i either have a cold, chest infection or some other bloody ailment, and even though my form is perfct on most excercises I seem to be constantly injured ???
Now my initial thought was I`m overtraining ..is it possible to overtrain in one session? I thought it was a gradual thing..anyway I tried everything from cutting my sets right down and tried light days, weeks off, etc...still same again..It`s like I`m allergic to bloody training.
Is this down to a very weak immune system as it feels like my body just cant cope with any form of training..and if so what in the hell can I do for it ?? My gains have stopped probably last year and I`ve just been plodding along trying to make some sort of sense of it all.
Any ideas ?????

Security Systems to Protect Your Property, Possessions and Personal Safety
Locked doors and windows don't keep the burglars away. On the other hand, some find ways to break in without being detected even by the most sophisticated security systems. There is no doubt, however, that installation of security systems such as various alarms, surveillance cameras, etc. makes your property and possessions much more safe.
To reduce the risk of common threats to property and personal safety such as fire, crime and theft, you can choose between different types of security systems which can broadly be divided into the following two categories:
Home security systems. Like their name suggests, they are intended to increase security of private residences. The term itself, however, encompasses a wide range of devices and measures ranging from simple things such as locks, fences, motion-sensor lights, etc. to sophisticated devices and even presence of security guards who are usually hired to tackle crime and increase security of the entire neighbourhood (residential patrols) rather than to protect a single property.
Commercial security systems. These are very similar to those used to enhance security of private residences. However, they usually involve the use of more sophisticated technology and specialised security solutions such as access-control systems, button alarms, etc. Unlike private residences, commercial establishments also have to deal with internal threats such as unauthorised access to business information and theft. Business owners therefore usually employ security systems that offer protection against both external and internal threats.
According to type of protection they offer, security systems can be divided into:
- burglar protection
- combination systems which offer protection against both burglary and fire
According to the source of power, security system can be divided into:
- wired security systems; they refer to systems that are connected to power
- wireless security systems; they are powered by batteries
- hybrids; these security systems use both wired and wireless sources of power
Lastly, security systems can also be divided according to response to intrusion. We know:
- "bells-only" alarms; these sound a loud alarm which alerts the occupants of the building and hopefully, scares off intruders
- monitored security systems; these are connected to a central monitoring station which reacts immediately to an alarm
All the mentioned types of security systems help improve security by both deterrence and detection of intrusion. On the other hand, each of the solutions has its advantages and disadvantages. Altronix.co.uk can help you make the right decision by providing lots of useful information on security systems and practical tips which will further enhance your property and personal safety.

I bought a new dinette table months ago at IKEA but never put it together for lack of time. It became a fixture, sitting in the box by my door. I knew that deep down I wasn't wild about the thought of putting it together, even though I've done it and know I can. This week I decided to just do it.
I opened the box and saw all the pieces. Then I looked at the instructions. As I went through the pages, I began to flip myself out. The instructions looked complicated. I almost put it all back in the box for another time but knew I should get it done. I realized I was looking ahead too much. Looking at the later steps made me nervous.
We often look ahead, speculate, and let intimidating stuff stop us, in a variety of situations.
A project at work may seem too tough if you think beyond what you have to do right now. How will I do this or get that once I've gotten started? What if I screw up halfway through my speech? Looking ahead can sabotage getting the job done, no matter what it is. In work or in life, we block ourselves from doing what we're capable of doing by looking too far down the road. I decided to put the table together, one step at a time.
When you do something step by step, word by word, task by task, what you have to do becomes doable.
I opened the box and sorted the pieces of my table. Then I went in steps. First step: separate all the screws, nuts and bolts in sizes and make sure I had them all. I felt better when that was done and moved to step 2 in the instructions. When I'd finished that, I moved to the next step. As each one got done, the table came together and I laughed at how big a deal I'd made of the simple assembly. Things had seemed complicated when I looked ahead since I didn't have the other steps done. When I did, I just kept going.
When you take any situation, task or fear one step at a time, you can get do what you have to do.
Putting the table together taught me a valuable life lesson—that when you stop looking at the bigger picture and focus on the first step to take, you can accomplish a lot more. We often project to the future and worry about what ifs. Plus, looking at things that come after taking the first steps may be harder to envision if you haven't taken the ones before them. When I looked at all the pieces in the package needing to be put in the right place and instructions that confused me, my table almost didn't get put together. But, I started at the beginning and got it done.
Once I put the first parts together, the confusing parts made sense.
This made me brazen and I bought a cabinet with doors that was much more complex than the table. I could have paid to have it assembled but chose to do it myself. I opened the box yesterday and my first thought was regret that I didn't have the store do it. There was a huge bag filled with an assortment of pieces and screws in different sizes. My stomach turned. Then I stopped beating me up for insisting on doing it myself. I could do it—step by step.
There was a big slab of Styrofoam in the box and I used it as a tray to sort all the small pieces and screws and nails. There were many dozens of them! I saw things I couldn't identify and decided not to worry about them—I'd discover what they were for when I reached the step for them. I identified what I could with the instruction sheet. Then I did the first step. It took a while. I made some mistakes and had to redo things. Each time I forgave myself for not checking that each shelf was facing the right way, etc., before I put screws in.
Instead, I reminded myself that when I put the second cabinet together (yes, I bought 2!), I'll be a pro!
It took a while but now this cabinet is making me happy by giving me more storage space. Tonight I'll do the second one and it will take be MUCH faster since I know exactly what to do. Often we look down the road too far and scare ourselves against doing something by allowing the future steps to seem too hard. Instead, do the first step, then try the next, and you'll find it much easier to get whatever it is done.
Initiating an action, like applying for a new job or agreeing to make a speech, can seem scary. But you can do it if you just focus on what you have to do or say first.
Of course you should prepare for the bigger picture if necessary but focusing too far ahead or analyzing to death future steps will keep you from getting to them. When you take the first step and accomplish it, then look to the second, and so on. As each step is completed, your confidence will increase and you'll understand more about what to do for the next one. This keeps a big endeavor from becoming overwhelming.
Trying to figure out how you'll ever manage to finish step 6 when you haven't done 1-5 sabotages what you're trying to do.
Looking back, putting the table together was easy. The latter steps no longer seem confusing. After the foundation was together, the rest followed in a logical, doable way. Even the cabinet wasn't hard when I assembled it step by step. I do this even when I'm writing a book. Sometimes I begin to consider later chapters and get concerned about what material I'll put into them. But now I catch myself and write the first chapter. When I get to the ones I wasn't sure about, I know what to say.
Most things are doable if you just take it one step at a time and let each finished one motivate you further. That's how hard tasks become easier!

text: In response to Vance T. Sauter's letter (Reader Input, March 4) regarding artist Archie Warren's No Hand's Bridge mural, I was stunned an Auburn business owner had the gall to write a letter with so much acrimony about a project so positive. Art is subjective — some people love it, some hate it. To write something so malevolent was purposely intended to belittle those involved; and to offer to paint over it, is just beyond impertinent. Mr. Sauter's letter is hurtful with no direct purpose other than to criticize those involved with the mural — most especially Archie. Archie is an artist who volunteered his time to do something positive for Auburn. He isn't out tagging the skatepark or throwing rocks at overpasses injuring innocent victims like other young people his age. You are right, Mr. Sauter. You are no art aficionado and to be so vile to someone who put his heart and soul into the mural is mean-spirited. I think the mural is beautiful and I'm grateful to Archie and those who also volunteered. I hope Archie doesn't let this pointless, foul letter deter his future projects and he continues his vision.

Chaff grenades are a miniature chaff dispenser.
Operation and function
Chaff consists of small aluminum strips that are specifically designed to confuse radar frequencies, and normally used by aircraft to fool missile radar. The individual strips are cut in such a way that they wreak havoc with radar's transmitted frequencies. The chaff grenade is a combination of a wide-dispersal system for such strips and an electronic jamming system similar in effect to a magnetic pulse; it fools most electronic devices in the current room, including security cameras, radios, and some types of UAV.
Operation Snake Eater
- See also: Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater
By the 1960s, the Soviets managed to design chaff grenades. FOX operative Naked Snake procured some during both the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater.
San Hieronymo Incident
- Main article: San Hieronymo Incident
During the San Hieronymo Takeover, Big Boss's resistance unit procured some chaff grenades.
Peace Walker Incident
- Main article: Peace Walker Incident
During the Peace Walker Incident in 1974, the Militaires Sans Frontières managed to procure some design specs for the chaff grenade after meeting up with Huey Emmerich.
Shadow Moses Incident
- Main article: Shadow Moses Incident
During the Shadow Moses Incident, Solid Snake used chaff grenades to disrupt an M1 tank and Metal Gear REX's targeting abilities, opening a window of opportunity in which to attack them.
The Manhattan Incident
- See also: Tanker Incident and the Big Shell Incident
Solid Snake managed to procure some chaff grenades while sneaking on board the U.S.S. Discovery tanker to take photographs of the Metal Gear RAY prototype. Two years later, Raiden managed to procure some, and used them to fight the Metal Gear RAYs guarding Arsenal Gear, as their weapons systems were not adapted to be anti-personnel.
Behind the scenes
Chaff grenades first appear in Metal Gear Solid. Along with disabling electonic equipment, they can also interfere with radio signals and prevent enemies from calling in reinforcements temporarily. In addition, the Chaff Grenades are also the only weapons capable of damaging Gray Fox. If they are used during the fistfight portion of the boss fight against Gray Fox, the latter, in addition to being damaged, will also chastise Snake for fighting cheaply, and then attempt to cut down Snake with his sword. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, chaff grenades are implied to be of Soviet origin, and can be used to disrupt Colonel Volgin's electrical field during Naked Snake's battle against him. If the player detonates a chaff grenade in front of TNT or radios, the red lights on each of them will start to flash rainbow colors. Something similar occurs in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. It weighs 0.8 kg during the 1960s.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Chaff grenades are a very limited and a hard-to-find weapon in Metal Gear Solid 4. They can be found in 5 locations in the game:
- Act 1, Advent Palace escape. Equip a chaff grenade (assuming this is a continued play) and stand in front of Akiba/Johnny. He will throw out two of them.
- Act 2, Confinement Facility, in the middle house. A tip is to take the left road after blowing up the Power Station, then go back to the right after you reach the Salt Hills. This will save you some time and effort.
- Act 2, Marketplace. Equip rations, then stand in front of the last Gekko at the fence. Head directly left behind a stall. (You can shoot down the Gekko first.)
- Act 3, When you get to the area with the searchlights (above the sewers) turn north and open up the map. The chaff grenades are in the top-left area between a bench and a plant.
- Act 4, Helipad. In an act of nostalgia, they are located at the center of the helipad, the same spot where they were found when Snake first infiltrated the Shadow Moses facility.
Chaff grenades can be used to confuse Scarab unmanned weapons, though they are less effective against Gekko. The design of the chaff grenades in Metal Gear Solid 4 are based on a grenade-shaped gas bottle for Airsoft guns. The "M363" marking is actually the code for an obsolete canister round for tank cannons.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
The Chaff grenades were split into separate grenade types that emphasized certain characteristics of chaff grenades. One of these was the EMP Grenade, which, besides having the properties of stun grenades for cyborgs, also temporarily disabled unmanned gears. The other was called the jamming grenade, which prevented radio transmissions from being sent or received by enemy cyborgs.
In-game weapon descriptions
- "A electronics jamming grenade developed by the Soviet Union. Upon detonation, scatters a large quantity of metal fragments into the air, jamming radio signals and rendering electronic devices inoperative."
- ―Chaff grenade description in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
- "A non-lethal grenade that temporarily disables any electronic devices in the area by releasing a cloud of signal-jamming metal fragments upon detonation."
- ―Chaff grenade description in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
- "A non-lethal weapon that scatters a cloud of metal strips when detonated, scrambling nearby electronic devices. When surrounded by unmanned weapons, a chaff grenade can turn the tables in an instant. The chaff can also temporarily block the user's own radio and sensor signals, so these grenades are best saved for when the time is right."
- ―Chaff grenade description in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
- "A disposable EA [electronic attack] device that employs an internal battery to barrage jam a wide range of frequencies. Capable of cutting off communications of most any wavelength, as well as temporarily disabling remote-controlled UGs."
- ―Jamming grenade description in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Reviews by Annoyer13
Worth playingAnnoyer13 | July 4, 2011 | Review of Trackmania United Forever - PC
A nice game, but before you buy it you should play free version of Trackmania first. It's not much different, just some bonus stuff, like cars and tracks. Anyway, it's really good game, everyone have same chances and community is doing great job by making excellent and fun maps all the time.
The best of Magicka's DLCAnnoyer13 | June 30, 2011 | Review of Magicka Vietnam DLC - PC
This is the best of Magicka's DLC because of one reason - it is the longest one. It contains Vietnam rescue mission, which is quite cool and not that easy to win, because if you die one time then you will not be revived (unless you have friend alive). We need more story DLC's for Magicka like that.
Fantastic gameAnnoyer13 | June 28, 2011 | Review of Just Cause 2 - PC
Very cool game. I think it is one if the best I have ever played. Fast action, good story, much missions and things to do and destroy. Even not that bad it looks with reality in the game. You can play this game for hours, it has great sandbox - huge island to move around. I really enjoy this game and I am still playing it. I think I can recommend it at all, because it is really worth it.
Not really neededAnnoyer13 | June 28, 2011 | Review of Magicka Wizards Survival Kit DLC - PC
I agree, it is quite cheap, but I do not really think it is worth buying. That survival kit does not give you much more than normal kit. It should be free anyway.
Such a great gameAnnoyer13 | June 28, 2011 | Review of Magicka - PC
Really enjoyable game. That is actually first hack n slash I have ever played, but it was esasy to learn to play. The story is quite good. I recommend to playing it in co-op with your friends, because then you will have so much fun. I recommend it.

Cupcakes are the ultimate birthday treat. You can decorate them with icing or cupcake toppers to match with the party theme—and there's no need for the cake cutting hassle. One trend we have seen on the rise is creating themed cakes from cupcakes for a mouth-watering dessert table feature.
This colorful Fish Cupcake Cake (click on the link for a tutorial) is perfect for a summer birthday celebration—like an Under the Sea themed party! Something like this is perfect for celebrating your kiddo's birthday at day camp or a birthday pool party.
Caterpillar-themed parties are extremely popular for one and two-year-olds—and we can't think of a more appropriate/fun birthday cake idea than this Very Hungry Caterpillar Cupcake Cake for a Caterpillar-inspired celebration. "On my birthday,
the caterpillar mommy ate through 3 cupcakes."
Hoo's having a party? Owls are always trending when it comes to kids' decor, fashions or parties. Kids love owlies—and so does mama! These Night Owl Cupcakes & Cake could be the perfect dessert for an owl-themed birthday celebration or a back-to-school party.

Reviews by TheHolyPie
RPG "Lite"TheHolyPie | July 7, 2013 | Review of The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Legendary Edition NA - PC
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is the latest culprit in the series' descent from RPG to Action/Adventure. The game feels like a standard Fantasy Adventure title with a first person view mode, and a character progression mechanic tacked on as an afterthought. Gone are the classes, birthsigns (Although they are replaced with the Standing Stones), Major/Minor skills, and attributes which made the previous games so much fun. Instead you get a game with combat with the same lack of depth as any of the other Elder Scrolls titles, a story that could be summed up by saying "Oh snap, dragon! Kill it!", and a pretty world to explore. Two out of the three DLCs add their own stories into the game, one forcing you to choose a side in the battle between vampires and lycanthropes. The other taking you to a new island where you'll battle another Dragonborn like yourself. The third DLC speaks to all of the Sims lovers out there. You'll be able to purchase a chunk of land (Typically inconveniently located in the middle of nowhere) and build a home to suit your needs. If you go into Skyrim expecting a quality RPG that will live up to the Elder Scrolls name, you're going to be disappointed. However if you can look at it as an action game fit into the Elder Scrolls universe, you'll find an overly mediocre experience.

I am starting from LA in early summer. Now the question: I would like to visit Copper Canyon this would include Batopilas and Urique and perhaps more. I understand this is a wet season in Mexico. I read several threads about the canyon, but it appears none venture this way in summer. Any thoughts? Any experience? How bad? I am Australian and can handle the heat but I am bit worried about the state of the roads after the rain. If it will make any difference I could spend some more time in the US; a month or so. Any help greatly appreciated

St. Charles police reports
• A resident of the 200 block of South 18th Street, St. Charles, asked for extra patrol Wednesday, April 3, after a silver Chevrolet Suburban was parked in front of his house about 3:30 p.m. and the male occupant was staring at his house. Later, the resident reportedly approached the vehicle, and it drove off. The man appeared to be in his late 20s or early 30s, the resident reported.

Hundreds of medications go through the Memorial Hospital pharmacy every day.
Vials of ephedrine go to the operating room.
"Patients in surgery receive this when their blood pressure drops," explained Memorial Administrator Michael Heinrichs.
48 tiny vials disappeared between February 9th and the 11th. Police say someone went into an operating room and took them from a locked medicine cart. Administrators say the suspect knew what they were doing.
"The average patient or visitor would not be able to access these drugs or any other drugs in the building," Heinrichs said.
The question is one of motive.
Doctors use ephedrine to regulate blood pressure and say they're not aware anyone would use it recreationally. Unless, police say, it's mixed with a number of other chemicals.
"If you don't have ephedrine, you can't make meth," said a metro V-N-I officer.
"They might be using it to make meth and that is frustrating. It's just one more thing we have to deal with on the street," he said.
48 vials put all together equates to only about 2.4 grams-a small amount valued at just less than $26.
In the meantime, the hospital is considering all possibilities, including the chance the disappearance could be an oversight and taking steps to insure all drugs stay secure.

No Joke
The case for taking the Trump campaign more seriously.
"Now with all this wind, at least you know it's my real hair," said Donald Trump, standing before the sun-washed masses of Boca Raton, Fla., at his first truly public appearance last weekend as a (possible!) 2012 presidential candidate. The crowd laughed heartily. Everyone was in on the joke.
So is it a joke, then?
The media certainly seem to think so. At some dark and cluttered desk, an underpaid J-school grad is already trying to come up with the perfect morning-after pun if Trump runs. Somebody is gonna get "Trumped" and/or "Fired," in a 56-point font and with an exclamation point. The joke could be on the media, though. Far from being a "joke" candidate, Trump has a kind of purity. His presidential campaign would reduce U.S. politics to its barest essence.
Like the maybe-candidate, polls "tell it straight," as many rally-goers said of Trump last Saturday in Florida. The polls like Trump. He makes things happen. He's a slasher—real estate mogul/author/ diviner/TV star/winemaker/ health guru/clothing designer/ WrestleMania aficionado. He's "the living, walking personification of the Gospel of Success." He's also "brazen" and "shows no regard for political niceties." Basically, he's serious about kicking ass and taking names.
The first piece of evidence in the Case Against the Seriousness of Trump is his obsession with the birther issue. Chris Matthews filled three bathtubs up with spittle Thursday on Trump, his supporters, and the birther issue. On CNN, Ali Velshi gave Trump a stern lecture on birthers. But in using the birther issue as a talking point to warm up the crowd, Trump is just following standard operating procedure for a politician. Trump is taking the fancy ride of any "serious candidate," stripping it down to the frame, painting some flames on the side, and revving up the crowd.
Consider that, nine years ago, another candidate's cold open to his base was a very serious, measured speech in which he came out against the Iraq war. It worked in firing up the rabid, anti-war, Republican haters. The serious candidate used it throughout his presidential campaign. Now Obama is president, but we're still in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we've started a "kinetic military action" (don't call it a war!) in Libya.
The other broad accusation against Trump is that he could be using his maybe-candidacy for personal gain. That's a funny joke, because it's exactly what other candidates do, especially when they've finally decided to run. A campaign is a solo gig, and it's always about the candidate: "Nixon's the One," "[I'm] Putting People First," "It's Morning Again in America [Because as Leader of the Most Powerful Country in the World, I Instructed God to Turn on the Lights]." Obama's 2008 slogan, "Change We Can Believe In [Because I'm Bringing It]," ain't got nothin' on Trump, who offers something shorter, more honest, and more universal: "Me."
That's what the birther issue has been about. Does it say something about how many stupid racists there are out there? Yes. And it doesn't necessarily speak well of Trump that he confuses appealing to them directly with speaking to them honestly. But it also speaks to a consummate businessman's ability to sell his case to the first group that matters by putting his customer at ease with a joke and a smile. Trump doesn't just say his opponent "will almost certainly go down as the worst president in history." He says: Not only is Obama not good enough to compete against me, but maybe he shouldn't even be allowed to compete against me. I'm that awesome.

The X Factor Recap 9/26/12 Season 2 Episode 5
Simon Cowell, LA Reid, Demi Lovato, and Britney Spears are back tonight to continue their search for America's next singing sensation.
Start reading our live recap below…
The audition tour picked back up in Providence, Rhode Island, where Adonis & John, a 33- and 32-year-old duo, were the first hopeful contestants to take the stage. They had the audience and judges amused by their personalities, but their performance of "Hello" by Lionel Richie was monotone and weird. They got a resounding "no" from the judges.
After a montage of some terrible auditions, the judges were looking for someone to bring some talent to the table, and Dinah Jane Hansen, 15, did just that with her rendition of "If I Were a Boy" by Beyonce. She had Demi exclaiming "Yes! Oh my God," during the song, and LA said she "took that song to places Beyonce didn't even take it." Britney said Dinah made her day and "really delivered," and Simon said the reason they came to Providence was to find someone like her. With LA predicting that she would end up a finalist, it was no surprise that she received a unanimous "yes."
Sixteen-year-old Arin Ray was hoping he'd have better luck this year after being put into the group InTENsity last year and getting voted off in the first week of the finals. He performed an original song, and the judges and audience were really into it. LA said he liked him even more this year, Britney called him "a true star," Demi commended him on his confidence and stage presence, and Simon thought it was "a great audition." A "yes" from everyone got him sent on to the next round.
It seemed to be time for the teenagers to shine. Natalie Martin, 16, impressed with "Stay" by Sugarland, Nick Perrelli, also 16, delivered a suave "Come Fly with Me" by Frank Sinatra, and Beatrice Miller, 13, sang a soulful, a cappella rendition of "Cowboy Take Me Away" by The Dixie Chicks. All three got enthusiastic responses from the judges and got sent through to the next round.
Check out Page 2 for more recaps on the episode's auditions!

Qwest Communications plans to cut 320 jobs in five states including Colorado.
Company officials say they'll try to eliminate the positions through attrition until March 30th and will then resort to layoffs.
Qwest is targeting jobs in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa and Utah. The Denver-based phone company says lagging demand for service is to blame.

All the jobs being cut are union-covered. Qwest officials have confirmed that managers have received a three percent annual bonus.
