But I like watching these top athletes playing backyard type football. even liked last years game which got SO MUCH CRITICISM from all the stuck up purists.
Please get over yourselves. it's meant to be fun . Hopefully nobody gets hurt. It's a different kind of game where players can show off and do fun stuff like that game where ray Lewis lateralled to ty law for a td. Was I the only person who watched that?

Man in motions
Law | A lone Georgia attorney helps spur GM's recall of 2.6 million cars, but a higher law drives his passions inside and outside the courtroom
"Man in motions" Continued...
ATLANTA—Brooke Melton's 29th birthday began with a singing voicemail message from her father, a birthday email from her mother, and excitement over a birthday dinner with her new boyfriend. After her shift as a pediatric nurse, Brooke climbed into her 2005 Chevy Cobalt, fastened her seatbelt, and headed down a misty, two-lane highway just north of Atlanta. She never made it to dinner.
Instead, Brooke's day ended with her car suddenly losing power, veering across the highway into an oncoming vehicle, and turning the date of her birth into the date of her death.
Three years would pass before Brooke's parents, Ken and Beth Melton, learned why their daughter's car crashed on a Georgia night in March 2010. But from the moment she died, Ken Melton was convinced the accident wasn't Brooke's fault: She had taken her car to a dealership for service after she lost power less than a week before her crash. As he leaned over her cold body at a local hospital, Ken Melton kissed Brooke goodbye, told her he loved her, and promised he would find out what happened.
The search eventually led to a one-attorney legal firm in Marietta, Ga., where lawyer Lance Cooper oversees a staff of two paralegals and three assistants. Though the firm is small, its influence is huge: Cooper's investigation into Brooke Melton's death spurred the General Motors (GM) recall of some 2.6 million vehicles earlier this year.
The recall began in February, with GM admitting a faulty ignition switch in some vehicles could cause the engine to turn off while driving, cutting power to vital systems like antilock brakes, power steering, and airbags. The company acknowledged at least 13 deaths tied to accidents involving the defect—a mechanical problem Cooper's firm had uncovered.
GM also admitted at least some company employees knew about the potential hazard more than a decade ago, even before GM began selling Chevy Cobalts—a revelation Cooper discovered while digging through nearly 32,000 pages of documents with one paralegal in his Georgia office.
On May 16, the federal government announced GM had agreed to pay a $35 million fine for failing to report the ignition switch defect in a timely manner. It's the maximum fine allowed by U.S. law, and the largest ever levied in a recall investigation.
'If someone had not swept this under the rug, my daughter would still be alive.'—Ken Melton
The recall sparked a series of scorching congressional hearings, a reported investigation by the Department of Justice, and continuing questions about the role of the federal agency tasked with regulating auto safety. Sean Kane, a longtime analyst with The Safety Institute, underscored the importance of Cooper's role: "There's a direct line between what he did and the GM recall."
On a desk in the home Cooper shares with his family outside Atlanta, a three-inch-thick binder holds papers for just one motion in the GM case. But Cooper's study is filled with other tomes as well: Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind, C.H. Spurgeon's devotional classic Morning and Evening, and Steve Lawson's profiles of A Long Line of Godly Men. A hand-painted motto on the wall in the nearby kitchen reads: "Soli Deo Gloria"—the Latin phrase for "Glory to God Alone."
News outlets from ABC to Al Jazeera have reported parts of the remarkable story of how Cooper and his team of a paralegal, a mechanic, and an engineer uncovered a massive safety scandal at one of the biggest companies in the country. In an interview with WORLD, Cooper describes how his road to legal notoriety—and his continued pursuit of GM—also includes a crisis pregnancy, a blind date, a local church, and a hankering to uncover the truth.
ON A RECENT SUNDAY MORNING, Cooper and his wife, Sonja, sat on the third row of their local church in Powder Springs, Ga., as a pastor in the high pulpit at Midway Presbyterian Church (PCA) acknowledged God as the "omniscient and perfect judge."
It's a fitting meditation for an attorney who has spent more than two decades in man-made courtrooms. Cooper, 51, graduated from law school at Emory University in 1989, and has specialized in personal injury, wrongful death, and product liability cases, including automobile defects. He started his own practice—The Cooper Firm—in 2006. (Since the GM case, Cooper has added an associate.)
But when Cooper begins his story, he starts with a crisis pregnancy in Berkeley, Calif., in 1962. That's when an unmarried college couple with good grades and full social circles learned they were expecting an unplanned child. "Thankfully, they decided to keep me," says Cooper.
Cooper's parents married, and he professed faith in Christ during a Christian camp in high school. His commitment waned during his college years, but he says it grew when he met Sonja—a committed Christian—on a blind date in 1982: "Her influence on me was dramatic."
The two married in 1987 and now have five children, ages 24 to 17. Cooper's own background drew the couple into pro-life work, including service with Cobb Pregnancy Services, a local pregnancy care center where Sonja counsels women. She often uses her husband's story to encourage abortion-minded women to keep their unborn children: "I tell them, 'You don't know what that baby will become.'"
Cooper's role in the massive GM recall deepens that conviction. "Here's an unplanned pregnancy that resulted in someone very valuable to people he will never meet and to society as a whole," says Sonja. "I think that's a beautiful aspect of this story."
BY THE TIME COOPER met the Meltons in 2011, the bereaved parents' suffering still ran deep. Ken had spent a year poring over internet postings, trying to find if other Cobalt drivers had experienced power loss like Brooke had described a few days before her fatal accident.
During that incident, Brooke told her father the engine had turned off, and she struggled to steer the car to the side of the road. She took the Cobalt to a local dealership on a Friday, and retrieved the car on a Tuesday, believing it was fixed. She died the next day. Police said she had hydroplaned on the slick road.
Nearly a year later, when the Meltons thought the driver Brooke struck might sue her estate, an insurance agent suggested they contact Cooper. In the first meetings, Ken told the attorney he suspected something was wrong with the car.
Cooper sent the Cobalt's black box to a mechanic, thinking it might reveal a power steering problem, but the results surprised him: The data indicated an ignition switch failure. "I began to think, 'What happened to her?'" says Cooper.
The mechanic suggested sending the ignition switch to Mark Hood, an engineer in Pensacola, Fla., who investigates mechanical failures. Hood tested the part, but couldn't determine why it might have failed. When he bought a replacement part at a local GM dealership, he was surprised: A tiny plunger in the new switch was longer than the same part in Brooke's car. But both ignition switches had the same identification number.
That meant GM had begun quietly changing the switches on newer models without informing owners of older models—owners like Brooke Melton. The change was significant: The longer plunger in the new switch made it less likely to turn to the off position while the car was still running. It was safer.
Hood documented his findings by searching salvage yards across the Pensacola area for ignition switches from Chevy Cobalts. After acquiring at least 10 switches from various years, Hood X-rayed, disassembled, and compared them. His research confirmed his discovery: GM had made a safer part without telling drivers of older cars.
Hood says he'd never encountered anything like it in 15 years of investigations. Cooper hardly could believe it. "It was astonishing," he says. According to Cooper, the weaker switch in Brooke's car likely failed and turned off the engine, causing her to lose antilock brakes and power steering, making it too difficult to correct quickly when the car began to skid.
(It's unclear why many cars never experience the problem, but engineers say the car's design could allow a driver's knee to hit a low-hanging key chain, and possibly move the switch. A heavy key chain could cause the same problem. GM now says the cars are safe if drivers don't use key chains.)
In other accidents involving GM cars, drivers experienced crashes unrelated to the ignition switch. But when the car hit an object or another car, the faulty switch turned off, cutting power to airbags that could have saved drivers if the bags had deployed.
Meanwhile, Cooper made another major discovery. After prevailing in a lengthy court battle against GM's legal team to obtain thousands of company documents, Cooper learned some engineers knew about the ignition switch problem as early as 2004—the year before GM began selling Cobalts. At least one engineer experienced the problem while test-driving the car before its release.
Instead of solving the problem or holding back the car, GM suggested dealers give owners a snap-on key cover to help reduce weight on the key and wear on the ignition switch—but only if drivers complained. GM released the Cobalt with the faulty switch in 2005, but didn't offer the partial fix of a key cover unless drivers later complained about a problem.
Cooper hammered those discoveries in depositions with GM engineers. First, he confronted engineer Ray DeGiorgio about the changed ignition switch. DeGiorgio denied authorizing any changes—a claim that would come back to haunt him.
Cooper also confronted Gary Altman, the chief engineer for the 2005 Chevy Cobalt. As he pressed Altman about whether GM had put profits over safety, and had released the car despite knowing about the problems, Altman relented. Cooper asked if GM "made a business decision not to fix this problem," and then sold the vehicle to Brooke Melton five months later. Altman glanced at the GM lawyer, but replied: "That's what happened, yes."
The Meltons settled their case against GM in September 2013, but the revelations about the GM controversy didn't stay private. By February 2014, GM recalled 619,122 vehicles, citing a problem with the ignition switch. (The recall repairs now include a replacement ignition switch and new keys.)
But despite the massive recall, Cooper noticed a big problem: GM hadn't recalled all the vehicles with the switch. Cooper sent a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), informing the federal agency that GM should widen the recall to other makes and models, and revealing the company knew about the problem as early as 2004.
After USA Today published Cooper's letter, GM eventually recalled 2.6 million vehicles with the faulty switch, and acknowledged at least 13 deaths related to the problem. The company also revealed some employees knew about the issue as early as 2001, as they tested the ignition switch in other cars. CEO Mary Barra said she didn't learn about the problem until January of this year, and she apologized for the deaths linked to the switches.
Senate committee members weren't appeased. In a scorching hearing with Barra, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., accused GM of a "culture of cover-up," and revealed another bombshell: Additional documents subpoenaed by Congress indicated GM engineer Ray DeGiorgio had approved a change to the faulty ignition switch in 2006, contrary to his testimony during Cooper's deposition. "He lied," said McCaskill. (GM has placed DeGiorgio and Altman on paid leave during an internal investigation.)
The revelation about DeGiorgio led Cooper to ask a judge on May 12 to reopen the wrongful death lawsuit in Brooke Melton's case, saying GM concealed evidence during the settlement. GM denied wrongdoing in Melton's settlement, and the judge hasn't set a court date. (GM didn't respond to WORLD's requests for a comment for this story.)
Meanwhile, questions remain about the NHTSA's involvement in the GM debacle. Documents show the federal agency learned of potential ignition switch problems through multiple complaints as early as 2007, but didn't pursue a formal investigation. An NHTSA spokesman told WORLD the agency didn't have enough information from GM at the time. Sean Kane of The Safety Institute says it's a puzzling claim: "I've seen recalls on far less data."
GM OFFICIALS HAVEN'T RELEASED a list of the names of the 13 people they think died in crashes connected to the switch. Some attorneys and families believe the number is much higher. Dozens of lawsuits are underway, and hundreds of families believe they may have been affected by the defect.
Indeed, Brooke Melton isn't included among the 13 deaths GM acknowledges, since the company only counts cases when airbags didn't deploy in front-end crashes. The oncoming car in Brooke's accident struck her vehicle on the side.
Brooke's parents grapple with anger and disbelief over GM's admission of making a business decision not to fix cars. "I have to believe if you put those 13 people in the room with those GM employees before they died—surely they wouldn't have said they were expendable," says Beth Melton. Ken Melton says it's hard to bear the thought: "If someone had not swept this under the rug, my daughter would still be alive."
Four years after Brooke's death, the Meltons struggle daily with her loss. Brooke was close to her parents, visiting at least twice a week. "Everywhere you go, she's there, but she's missing," says her mother. Ken Melton constantly grieves the daughter who dreamed of marrying and having children of her own. "She wasn't just my daughter. She was my friend," he says. "I really miss her company."
The Meltons say they hope the recall will save lives, and they're thankful for Cooper's "dogged determination" to uncover the truth about their daughter's death.
Cooper says pursuing the GM case highlights the importance of the courts in exposing injustice and corruption. He's enjoyed the challenge but says for all the notoriety of the case: "When we wake up tomorrow morning, Brooke Melton still won't be here."

1968 Ford F-100 Front & Rear Bumper Install - Bumpside Build-OnWritten by on July 1, 2009 Bread And Bumpers
There are simple things about old vehicles that can make a big visual difference. Headlights, or the lack there of, in a project vehicle in the paper or at the swap meet can make or break a sale. The headlights are the eyeballs of the truck and even though it's a little detail, having them there for representation can help cinch the deal. After all, who wants to buy a vehicle with its eyes gouged out?
Bumpers are kind of the same in a way, even though they can be a matter of taste. You miss them when it looks like they are supposed to be there. I personally like bumpers on most all vintage vehicles. They are kind of like the bread at each end of the sandwich. Roll pans work well for many people and trucks throughout the years even left the factory without rear bumpers-to each their own. That's what makes all of this so much fun. If we all had the same-looking trucks, we'd be bored to tears!
I knew the '68 was gonna have front and rear bumpers from the get go, I just hadn't gotten around to the getting and going. I had never seen the truck with a rear bumper since I replaced the Flairside bed with the Styleside over a year ago, and had removed the twisted front bumper well before that. Even though I had kinda gotten used to looking at the bare rear end and the frame horns sticking out in front of the grille, my sandwich needed some bread!
Blue Oval Truck Parts (BOTP) stocks plenty of Ford truck items and had the bumpers I needed as well as the small but highly important rear bumper brackets. With so many old trucks over the years having their stock rear bumpers and brackets tossed in favor of a more rugged homemade rear "anchor" original parts for the aft end are tough to come by. No matter if you have Flairside, Styleside, F-1, or most other Ford trucks, BOTP can get you protected with new, stock, good-looking bumpers. Most of them are available in beautiful chrome or painted depending on your needs (that includes restoration projects!). If you want to get creative, you could order a painted set to trim and tuck if you are building a custom truck-which I may do when I have time-or just be happy cruising with them as is.

It's no secret that more than a few old trucks over the years have had their stock rear bumper replaced with a "blacksmith" or homemade diamond plate bumper for severe duty. At this point the stock bumper brackets usually get tossed in the scrap pile. Luckily for me and you BOTP has new heavy-duty stock-style brackets available.Because of the shape of the rear bumper and the shape of the stamped bumper brackets, they can really only go on one way, but could be mixed side for side. Make sure the stamped edges of the bracket fold to the outside.This just won't work, not to say that some people haven't tried. This is the same passenger side bracket but turned upside-down.Back the way it should be. Blue Oval Truck Parts also has bumper bolt kits, including stainless steel, for the front and rear. Don't forget antiseize on all stainless threads.The cool thing about BOTP's rear bumper bracket kit is that it comes with the outer brackets too. These babies are also heavy-duty pieces formed from steel plate.The outer brackets bolt to the holes on the top side of the bumper (closest to the corner) and will share the bolts going into the frame to mount the main brackets. Make sure to not snug down all the bolts yet, as you will probably need a little bit of room for adjusting later.Here the rear is all setup and ready to go. I have the hardware for each side laid out within reach. After unpacking the bumpers, I used their boxes as protection for the chrome as well as my knees.One other thing I had to do was make access to the forward bumper bracket bolt from the inside. I moved the stock rear crossmember back as far as I could to make room for the new under-bed gas tank I had installed already. Those in a similar situation will have to hole-saw an opening to get in there with a socket.
After playing with things for a bit, it seemed easier to bolt both sets of brackets to the frame before putting the rear bumper on. Here's what it should look like from under the truck.Here the rear is all setup and ready to go. I have the hardware for each side laid out within reach. After unpacking the bumpers, I used their boxes as protection for the chrome as well as my knees.I'm sure you need license plate lights in every state in the country, so I also got a pair of stock style replacements from BOTP. These pop right into the holes on each side of the license plate area in the rear bumper.After I wiped all my grubby hand prints off, things were looking pretty sharp. This was a big help for me since my truck was a Flairside (Ford speak for stepside) complete with an aforementioned blacksmith bumper!The front bumper on these trucks is fairly straight forward, or at least it should be. There are no bumper brackets per say; the bumper bolts straight to the front frame horns. This leaves little adjustment, especially if someone or something unwantingly "adjusted" it at any point in time.Some time ago, my truck was subject to this style of "adjusting", and came with a tweaked front bumper and mangled left front fender. As best I could tell, the frame horns seemed fairly straight though-until now. With the new front bumper held in place, there seemed to be a little discrepancy in where the bumper bolt holes should be.To figure out just where the holes were off, I had to find the middle of the bumper and compare that to the center of the grille. I found the center of the license plate mounting holes and the center of the top bumper bolt holes and these gave me a good idea of the overall center of the bumper.It seemed like the left frame horn was mostly the culprit. I don't have a port-a-power set or a frame straightening table, so I would have to slot the holes.
After closely roughing the hole out with the saw, I filed all the edges even and smooth. The slotted holes didn't need to be really oversized, but just enough to avoid a tight fit.The bottom hole on the same frame horn needed about the same amount of additional clearance. This was done just like the top hole.And there we have it! The front is looking like a real truck after being bumper-less since the initial tear down before the build.

Manchin to Oppose Binz Nomination as FERC Head
September 19, 2013
WHEELING — Actions speak louder than words to Sen....
Manchin will vote as he is told to do, and then he will don his great big you hillbillies are suckers smile and tell us that he told this guy to not do the bad stuff and the guy said he wouldn't, so Mojo went ahead and voted for him. Obama may have thrown in a big sack of Manchin's ego ****** and told him he will get him on MSNBC again so he can rerun video of himself on TV. Joe loves being important in D.C. and has never noticed that he is nothing more than a dancing bear for the smart guys who must be laughing themselves silly at this idiot. Want to improve WV's future, send TWO Republican Senators to D.C., if even for one term, and the National Dems will stop treating us like retarded cousins. Right now they feel we are so dumb they could start selling our organs to the Chinese and we would still vote for Dem party toads. Sending Capito to D.C. is a good start. Tenant is just being told to run to convince women its OK to vote against your kid's futures.

Dec 2010 Denver Post: "The Colorado Public Utilities Commission voted Monday to shut six aging Front Range coal-fired power units and allow Xcel Energy to replace them with a new $530 million gas-fired plant." What no wind turbines, no solar, No new age CO2 conversion process?? A natural gas replacement!! How could they!!
"The state is out of compliance with federal clean-air health standards and has to submit a plan next year to the Environmental Protection Agency showing steps to cut pollution.
Xcel, which serves 1.4 million people in Colorado, proposed a series of options with costs that reached as high as $1.3 billion.
"None of these scenarios are cheap," said PUC staffer Ron Davis. "Rates are going to rise."
Commission Chairman Ron Binz said the HOPE was that a comprehensive plan to cut pollution would be "more cost-effective."
HOPE: There's that word again.

GEO, your Colorado 66% coal-fired power number from 2011 was already down 10% in just one year, to 58% in 2012. That's the REAL fact, Jack. And that number will keep dropping because of Colorado's Clean-Air Clean-Jobs Act. More appropriately named the Already-Clean-Air No-Jobs Act. Thank loons like Binz and Obama for killing your favorite industry, coal.

For the sake of total honesty, as we posted onto the op-ed: "Reject Anti-Coal Nominee for FERC": Through August of this year, Colorado, where Binz served as chairman of the Public Utilities Commission, produced about 15 million tons of Coal, which ain't bad, considering their underlying geology. By comparison, West Virginia had produced about 80 million tons. And, according to the USDOE's Energy Information Agency, through 2011 at least, we doubt a whole lot has changed in the last one and a half years, 66 percent of the electricity generated in Colorado came from coal. Someone will no doubt click "Disagree"; but, those are the facts, Jack.

Test scores released last month showed two Lauderdale County high schools and two Meridian elementary schools were on the statewide list of schools with academic problems. The latest results released this week do not show any city or county schools still on that list.
Meridian superintendent Dr. Janet McLin analyzed the results.
"Our strongest points are in our lower grades," said McLin. "For example in math and reading in second grade our children just did outstandingly well and third and fourth grade was good and it diminishes as you go up in the grade level."
So who gets the credit? McLin says everybody.
"We've had more parent involvement this past year that I believe we've ever had, especially in our elementary school," said McLin. "That's where we're seeing the advances being made. We have good average daily attendance. Our children are coming to school and then, of course, our teachers are focusing very heavily on the things that we know to be important."
County Superintendent David Little says plain hard work was a factor.
"The scores that we've got right now we are very pleased with and we're just going to use them to build on for the next year," said Little.
He also saluted the teachers for their efforts
"Our teachers are working just very hard, harder, harder than we've ever had them work.," said Little. "They're focused. They know what to teach, what they need to expect of the children so our teachers are the number one."

As one of my research projects, I have been compiling a list of the titles given to the Buddha in Pali literature. So far I have 26. I know that there are many more. I think that each one is an answer to the question, "Who is the Buddha?" Several are said to be pre-Buddhist terms for enlightened or liberated ones. Interestingly, four titles applied to the Buddha at AN 4.23 are also applied by Maha Brahma to himself at DN 11.81 (abhibhu, anabhibhuta, annadatthudaso, vasavatti). I don't know what this means. If anyone has any more titles that they can add to the list or any corrections to the translations, I would appreciate the information. This is what I have now:
Titles of the Buddha
Abhibhu "Vanquisher"
Abhisambuddha "Fully-Enlightened One" (=Sammasambuddha)
Anabhibhuto "Unvanquished"
Angirasa "Radiant One" or "One of the Angirasa Tribe"
Annadatthudasa "All-Seeing One" (=Samantacakkhu)
Anuttara Purisadammasarathi "An Unsurpassed Leader of Persons to be Tamed"
Arahat "Worthy One" or "Accomplished One" (i.e., one who has attained liberation)
Bhagava "Exalted One" or "Sublime One" (i.e., one who is rich in positive qualities), often rendered "Blessed One" or "Lord"
Bhisakka "Physician"
Buddha "Enlightened One," "Awakened One," or "One Who Knows"
Cakkhuma "Seeing," "One Who Sees," or "The One with Vision"
Dasabala "Ten-Powered One" (the Buddha's ten powers of knowledge are listed in MN 12)
Jina "Conqueror" or "Victor" (=Buddha)
Lokavidu "Knower of the World"

RICHMOND, Va. (WUSA9) -- In a statement released by Virginia governor Bob McDonnell on Tuesday, he says loans made to his wife and family business by Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams have been repaid in full.
According to the statement, $52,278.71 loaned to Mrs. McDonnell in 2011 were repaid as well as $71,837 in loans made to the small real estate business owned by Gov. McDonnell and his sister in 2012. The statement says payments were made by the governor, the business or his family and "include both principal and interest."
Gov. McDonnell apologizes in his statement but denies any illegal activity. "I am deeply sorry for the embarrassment certain members of my family and I brought upon my beloved Virginia and her citizens. I want you to knwo that I broke no laws and that I am committed to regaining your sacred trust and confidence. I hope today's action is another step toward that end."
The governor then goes on to say that "Virginia has never been stronger and I plan to focus on creating even more jobs and facilitating greater opportunity during the last five months of my term as your Governor."
See his full statement at the link.
Last week, political analyst Larry Sabato said he though it was unlikely Governor Bob McDonnell would resign over the gift scandal. McDonnell is under both a state and federal investigation for gifts he and his family received from Jonnie Williams
Sabato said, "The feds could be using the Hobbs Act. It's possible the lawyers the Governor has say, 'Hey, the way to get out of this for you and your family, take resignation, you'll be rid of it.' But, I think it's unlikely."
Two Democratic lawmakers have called for the governor to resign.

How the Hell can a big fat slow Enforcer outrun me when I drive a Police
car?! Police cars are very fast, much faster than that semi-armored truck.
And they don't just outrun me, they outrun me like if I had two cylinders
mis-firing. The Enforcer accelerate twice as fast as my Police car, and
have greater top speed too (when cops drive it).
I know that vehicles are run by scripts, we can see Forklifts and airport
Tugs drive at car speed on the freeway, but if they make contact with
another vehicle, then the script ends and the CPU start to "drive" those
vehicles at the speed they are actually capable of.
Police vehicles are not run by that freeway script, not even when they drive
on the freeway, and this was not on a freeway.
They are cheating!

Im looking for Regulators that are tested to over 4500PSI(300BAR) because im looking to do 88CU FT tanks and i need a regulator set which can handle this. I have yet to see a regulator listing it self up to this PSI.
Technically speaking the cubic foot rating of your tank has no bearing what so ever on the psi rating of your 1st stage. That in mind, there are currently no regulators specifically tested and labeled for that PSI. Basically they all test them that high but none will specifically label it for use. Unfortunately it's a lawsuit happy world and we're all too aware of that in Scuba.
Our top performing balanced piston first stage paired with our high performance air balanced second stage; this combination is SCUBAPRO's most popular regulator combination. The S600 truly matches the MK25's characteristics and thanks to its adjustment possibilities, it adapts to all diving conditions and all diver preferences. Ease of breathing is the essence of this system.
The Black Tech coating is not only for aesthetics, it is also extremely scratch andcorrosion resistant. Applied on both the first and second stages, this premiumfinishing gives a real technical plus to a high performing regulator.
The MK25 first stage is our absolute top performer and is a superior regulator thanks to its ultra stable intermediate pressure resulting in an extremely punctual and constantly high delivery of air. The means instant air flow at any cylinder pressure and water temperature for a real carefree dive.
Paired with the air balanced high performance S600 second stage, this system is our top performer.
Balanced flow valve provides constant & effortless air flow.
Diver adjustable inhalation control enables personal adjustment of breathing effort.
Diver adjustable Venturi Initiated Vacuum Assist (VIVA) dive/pre-dive control switch and extra high flow exhaust valve account for easy inhale & exhale.
Super-flow hose for smooth air delivery.
Precision moulded, lightweight components and anti-freeze materials provide high corrosion resistance and enhance cold water performance.

Just installed ZD 2.0 beta on OS/X 10.6.3 and there are a few "issues" that concern me - purely from a desktop point of view.
I'm looking at ZD as a replacement for Apple Mail - it does a good job of mail but I need a more integrated solution. Short of using Notes (YUK !!), I thought I'd give ZD a try.
Here's what I've found (and feel free to call me an idiot and point me to the right place for the information !!);
1. Installation - does not allow you to specify the installation directory. It defaults to /Applications/Zimbra Desktop. I install all non-Apple standard apps in /Users/<username>/MyApps - this is purely to keep things tidy for backup purposes.
2. Data - stored in /Applications/Zimbra Desktop/<some folder>. Dangerous. Should be stored in /Users/Library/Zimbra/<somefolder>. Again, for backup purposes and to enable restores to be done easily.
3. Change location - If I drag the Zimbra Desktop folder from /Applications to /Users/<username>/MyApps then ZD will not load - probably because of point 2 above.
4. Account setup - bloody painless !! Brilliant !! BUT I can't see how I can import settings / mail / calendars / tasks from Apple Mail
5. MobileME - doesn't appear to want to know anything about calendars in MobileME.
6. Syncing - no "stop synching" button
7. Signatures - Are the signature lists global, or for each individual account ?
8. Random signatures - I have 5 email accounts - 2 are used for personal, and 3 for business. The personal ones I have sometimes humorous signatures. It would be nice to be able to call the "fortune" program in Linux or OS/X to generate random ones.
9. Signatures again - can I import a list of signatures from a text file ?
That's about all I can think of at the moment - otherwise an excellent program.

Yikes! This is a for profit venture as well as an exercise in doing your best. It is not your "average" $50k home dream theater. However, I would not mind seeing a few tweaked Minimus 7's strategically placed..... ;-)
The Greatest Show on Earth!
When it comes to home theaters, I thought I'd seen it all. But nothing's come close to this. First, I'm going to try to describe the sheer magnitude of Jeremy Kipnis' theater. His Stewart Snowmatte laboratory-grade screen is the biggest I've ever seen in a home, and in the back of the theater, there's a Sony ultra-high-resolution (4,096-by-2,160) SRX-S110 digital projector. I'm looking everywhere, jotting down questions, and Kipnis sounds almost giddy talking about his theater's capabilities. He refers to his baby, the Kipnis Studio Standard (KSS), as "The Greatest Show on Earth." And from the looks of it, he may be right.
While the KSS is technically an 8.8-channel audio system, it uses a lot more than eight speakers and eight subwoofers. Kipnis felt that a lone center speaker sounded a tad undernourished compared with the eight Snell THX Cinema & Music Reference towers, so he opted for three Snell LCR-2800 center-channel speakers. The original contingent of eight subs sounded "really good" but, unfortunately, didn't deliver the full earth-moving-under-your-feet effect he wanted. So, he wound up with 16 18-inch Snell subs! To balance the other frequency extreme, and for the ultimate in transient speed and transparency, the Snell speakers' treble has been augmented with MuRata ES103A super tweeters. Thus, from the deepest deep bass (10 hertz) up to the extreme high-frequency range (100 kilohertz), the KSS is the most full-range system I've ever heard—and felt. The speakers are fed by a well-balanced combination of audiophile solid-state and vacuum-tube amplifiers. The KSS is astonishing in the way it delivers power, but with 11,315 very high-quality watts on tap, that's hardly surprising. Not only can it play ungodly loud, the KSS sounds phenomenal while doing so and never hurt my tender ears. The theater is big but far from huge. Its vaulted ceiling ranges from 8 feet high at the rear end to 16 feet at the screen end of the room (which is 26.5 feet wide and 33 feet long). The 18-foot screen fulfilled my IMAX fantasies, and the projector's va-va-voom color and brilliant light were transformational. I just tried to take it all in as I scribbled notes, afraid I might miss some of the juicier details.
AC power conditioning for the KSS is, again, done to the max. Next to the garage, there are two mammoth General Electric 13,800-volt/800-amp step-down transformers; all of the cabling is audiophile-grade wire, and every aspect of performance and presentation is scrutinized, even down to the 40-amp cryogenically treated circuit breakers for each and every component in the system.
How It Came to Be
I first met Kipnis in the early 1990s when he worked for Chesky Records as an engineer/producer. And later in the decade, I followed his exploits when he started his own classical music label, Epiphany Recordings Limited. Hooked on video at an early age, he was the first on his block to buy a laserdisc player in 1980 and went on to amass a huge collection of players and discs. He watched them on one of the very first projectors in the market, the Kloss NovaBeam Model 1, with a 6.5-foot curved silver screen in his Redding, Connecticut, home, where he still resides. The projector's legendary inventor, Henry Kloss, was a neighbor and good friend of Kipnis' parents, so you might say the seeds of the KSS were planted long ago. The man's passions run deep. Kipnis tells me, "I've been watching movies since I was four on really big screens in movie theaters, and three years ago, those experiences inspired me to design a home theater with the absolute best picture and sound."
But it's more than that. Kipnis sees the KSS as a laboratory, an ongoing experiment to advance the state of the art. And it's not just for himself; he's dead serious about selling the KSS to movie-industry professionals and wealthy home theater aficionados. He sees his huge screen as an intrinsic part of the experience. "It's an unprecedented level of immersion that I'm looking for." The mix of brands and models for his customers' KSS systems will be site specific, and he imagines that, unlike his installation, the componentry and speakers will be stealthily deployed. The KSS pictured here is Beta Ciné, so yes, there's an even bigger KSS, the Alpha Ciné, in the planning stages. It's intended for much larger venues, such as screening rooms or perhaps even actual movie theaters. The Gamma Ciné will be a scaled-down KSS for smaller living rooms, bedrooms, or kitchens. The Gamma Ciné will likely utilize rear-projection techniques. (When not in use, the screen will look like a wall, and all of the equipment will live behind the screen.) The philosophy of all three KSS systems is the same—nothing but the best picture and sound. Price estimates will be site specific, but the cost of Kipnis' home system would be in the $6-million range.
Scaling the Heights
Setting up the Sony SRX-R110 digital cinema projector is a demanding job, and Kipnis has invested a lot of time into maximizing its potential, all in an effort to advance the state of the art. He's an Imaging Science Foundation–certified technician and studied with video-tweaking legend Joe Kane.
The Sony projector doesn't have HDMI inputs that are HDCP compliant, but it upscales Blu-ray and HD DVD players' component outputs to its native 4K resolution. So sure, it might look even better if he could use his HD player's digital outputs, but Kipnis feels the picture quality he's getting right now is "far more outstanding and realistic than any other movie theater I've experienced on the planet." Pressing the question about keeping the KSS' video all digital, he admits that he's also considering commissioning a custom-built scaler from Silicon Optix or Snell & Wilcox. The ultimate goal is to produce a picture that's an open window to the world.
With a bit of luck, Kipnis will get to play the KSS for the likes of George Lucas, Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese. And who knows—they each might be so thrilled, they'll buy one on the spot. That would be great, but I wonder out loud, "Would you have done all of this if you didn't hope to turn it into a commercial enterprise? Would you have done it just for yourself?" Without hesitating, Kipnis says, "Just to see what's possible? Yes, I would."

Wow...I am amazed at the difference in opinions here. I only wish I was more of an audiophile to argue some of these brands and technologies.As for the craziness of this system, I believe as much as everyone criticizes this guy, he is the one listening to this setup. Something tells me this guy didn't walk into a store with 6mil and say, give me one of everything! I'm sure he researched all of these components and they make the system sound the way HE likes it! I'm sure he's also considering the opinions of others like George Lucas, etc. when building this, but come on...There's a reason there are multiple products available in every market. Each person puts a different aspect of a product at a different priority. It's just sad to see so many people giving this guy crap for enjoying his money.For everyone who said donate to charity, I bet you'd buy your $50,000 system, then buy $5,950,000 of other stuff! What a bunch of crap people.As for the creator of this,
I'm betting a good portion of that money went in to the construction of the space.... 2250 Sq/Ft. Custom Designed, Two-Story Concert Hall with Vaulted Ceiling & Balcony - 1" Solid Maple Flooring on 4" tall Pine studs - 12" spacing, sitting on a solid 16" reinforced concrete foundation, itself isolated on 4 - 156' solid steel girders all the way down to bedrock. Features non-parallel walls, ceiling, and floor, with dedicated installed noise isolation system, and acoustic treatments designed to supersede ANSI, SMPTE, AMPAS and AES/EBU noise specifications for professional movie theaters, mixing stages, and anechoic test chambers.Seating for 3-6 (Arizona Leather Curved Couch & Director's Chair) or up to 24 (Premium Leather Theatrical Recliners).
Wow. Is it even possible for you people to comprehend that somebody can look at unbelievable, ridiculous excess and disapprove without being "jealous"? Probably not. Sorry guys, I look at this and feel disgusted, and it has nothing to do with wishing I could have it myself. I guess if you spend your days smelling your own farts and congratulating yourself on how far above the masses you are, everybody else in the world is just a 'whiny, jealous bitch'.
I wish I could "hear" this system through the pictures like so many other posters here so I too could comment on its audio quality. Unfortunately my .jpg to .mp3 codec isn't working properly. I'm sure during normal operation the components aren't in picture perfect placement (photo op). Regardless of how it may look aesthetically, the ultimate goal is if you feel immersed and like a part of what you are watching. And until the posters sit on that couch (one at a time, for size limitations of course), no one has a reason to criticize or comment on how poor the picture or sound may or may not be. Now, I'm gonna go watch a movie on my $400 Home Theater in a Box and envision what it could be with a KSS.
All of you people who think you're better than all, do you know this guy for telling that he can actually give that money in charity instead of building that system? When you walk the street and someone ask you for charity, why don't you give him your 20$ instead of going to cinema? Maybe this guy already give some millions in charity and this is his 20$ to go to cinema... Think before bashing..
He should have spent 10 million more on equipment, then throw it all into an incinerator, in full view of starving children and poor people in general. This would let them know its their fault they're poor and that he's not going to give one red cent to them as they lay dying at his feet. Then laugh as he steps over their frail bodies.
Its Fake, computer generated; there are no cables to the amps that are obviously powered on, the lighiting in the room especially the shot with the sub picture is just a bit off, the shadow on the couch is to sharp in the over head pic and the most telling evidence is on their own website "Dedicated scaling technologies are available to provide photo realistic 3D presentations"Well done even down to the dog on the couch.
One thing that is quite evident, is the lack of any if not all cabling...hmmm must be using that new wireless power technology as well! look at the picture of the equipment, there is no interconnects, the only device that seems "on" is the cable box. The second picture down you can clearly see the speaker terminals without a wire attached. Funny
Personally I think it's a bit much. But as some other people have posted, it is HIS money and he can do what he wants with it. I just hope that someone with that much money is also giving some of it to charitable organizations. I think if you are a multi-millionaire you should be obligated to share the wealth. Ya, it's a capitalist society, and he should be able to spoil himself once in a while, but I hope he's not a greedy bastard.
well i have to say, that is amazing , truly amazing, i would love to experience that system, i beleive you would not ever want to watch another movie anywhere after that.To the muppet who had a wah because this system cost 6 mill and he shoul fed the starving, grow up you have no clue what this gentleman does behind the scenes, maybe feeding the starving is his other passion, either way dont throw stones at people just because they have money and by the sounds of it earned it.On the cabling theres at least 3 pictures there showing cables and the amps in the ring actually have the cables fed thru the stans into the floor, not rockrt science.
What a waste. He should've only spent 50K on his theater and donated the remainder to the poor starving children in Dharfur. I hear they're also in desperate need of some acoustical treatments and PS3's over there. I read they don't want any Xbox360's.

I thought this was just for biking.
But I LOVE it for backcountry skiing as well.
It's classier than your average wool layer, and transitions well to the apres scene. Never noticed uncomfortable dampness or stink when wearing it 3 days straight on a recent yurt trip to ski!
Oh - and don't judge me for upholding Rule #53 of the unwritten backcountry code.
#53 Must don seriously ugly yet also classic hat for added sun protection and stylish execution of skinning in an upwards fashion.
It perfectly matched the shirt...I had to.
Encore - I want more. ** CLAP CLAP**
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This shirt pleases me.
Surprisingly warm for how thin the fabric is. Very soft and comfortable to the touch. I took this down to Moab in early October and hardly took it off. It was perfect for biking in the 50s and the side-panels in the sleeves/pits are a thoughtful detail.
I didn't notice that this shirt got stinky - added plus.
The 2-way zipper is excellent.
The back of this shirt drops very low, which I LOVE. No butt-crack bike riding for me! I would say it's a pretty flattering shape for a flannel type shirt, I don't look like a box in this thing .
I only gave 4 * because I think the zipper could be slightly better quality. It's a bit hard to initiate a zip, and I think this shirt would be just about PERFECT with a better quality zipper.
FIT INFO: 5'3" and 120 lbs, great fit in size Small.
Though it is a longer garment than a typical small - (great for biking).

Huskies Halt Cyclones' Postseason Run, 81-76
NEW YORK CITY – The No. 9 ranked and third-seeded Cyclones (28-8, 11-7 Big 12) fell to the 18th-ranked and seventh-seeded Connecticut Huskies (29-8, 12-6 AAC), 81-76 in Madison Square Gardens ending the Iowa State's incredible season in the Sweet Sixteen. Junior Dustin Hogue led Iowa State with a career-high 34 points and six rebounds.
Melvin Ejim ended his illustrious career as a Cyclone with seven points and eight rebounds. The senior, who will go down as one of the all-time greats in school history, registered 1,643 career points and 1,051 rebounds, becoming just the fourth player in Big 12 history with 1,500 points and 1,000 rebounds.
DeAndre Kane concludes his one-year stint with the Cyclones with 2,110 points, 743 rebounds and 645 assists becoming the only player in NCAA history to reach that mark.
How it happened:
The Huskies would jump out to an early 25-16 lead after going 6-of-9 from three in the first 12 minutes of the game. The UCONN lead would grow to as much at 10 points, 34-24, by the under-4 timeout. In the first half, the Cyclones did not have an answer for Shabazz Napier or Ryan Boatwright, who together scored 22 of UCONN's 36 first-half points. Napier went 4-of-5 from deep as the Huskies shot 58.3 from long range and 51.9 percent from the field in the first half to take a 36-26 lead over the Cyclones.
It was the Yonkers, N.Y. native, Hogue, who led the Cyclones in the first half with 10 points and three rebounds. Hogue scored in double-digits in all six of the Cyclones' postseason outings this season. Ejim led ISU on the glass with four first-half rebounds, but the Huskies edged ISU on the boards, 19-17, in the first half.
The shooting woes would continue as the Huskies would extend their lead to as much as 17, 49-32, with 14:19 remaining in the second half. Iowa State would mount a feverish comeback after going on an 11-2 run to close the gap to just seven, 63-56, with 4:29 remaining. Both teams would go bucket-for-bucket until Naz Long scored five consecutive points to cut the Huskies' lead to just five 70-65 with 1:34 remaining. The Cyclones would be unable to overcome the Huskies offense, falling 81-76.
Keys to the Game:
Shooting. The Cyclones shot just 32 percent from the field in the first half, falling behind by double-digits in the first, a deficit the Cyclones would be unable to overcome.
Rebounding. The Cyclone comeback was made possible by a team-rebounding effort in the second-half as the Cyclones edged the Huskies on the boards in the second half, 19-12.
The Cyclone Gameball goes to…
Dustin Hogue. Hogue shot 15-of-19 from the field and netted a career-high 34 points to lead all scorers. Hogue would also set career-highs in field goals (15), field goals attempted (19). Hogue's 34 points were the second-most by a Cyclone this season, second to only Melvin Ejim's 48-point performance against TCU. His 34 points ties an ISU NCAA Tournament record with Dedric Willoughby (34 vs. UCLA in 1997) and Lafester Rhodes (34 vs. Georgia Tech in 1988).

I was reading this in the zimbra Blog and started wondering how this could be done without user authentification.
So just tried http://myserver/zimbra/username/inbox.rss and I got a xml file containing my inbox's emails (See screenshot) without a single password!!!!
I didn't see any Admin option for enabling/disabling it, so I guess that is open by default.
This is a big breach on Zimbra security access. Why Zimbra want secured IMAP by default if inboxes can be reached without passwords?
The blog entry is quite old and I didn't see anything else about that on Forums or Blog. Anybody knows what happen with this???

Listen Up!
One of the most often asked questions by parents at the library is how to help their child be a stronger reader. Like books, struggling readers come in all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, and cultures. A child's ability to read is a result of various factors, and may sometimes be influenced by a language barrier, medical condition, or learning disability.
Trained educators know that early intervention can make a world of difference for a child. Many techniques and strategies, some not involving letters or words at all, can dramatically increase a child's ability to read. One technique is utilizing audio books.
Audio books are CD's or other forms of digitized media, on which stories are recorded as a person (or sometimes a cast of readers) reads them. The reader's voices of these books bring characters to life, and the readers adjust the tone, speed, and volume of their voices to dramatize the story to the fullest potential. Many adults love audio books. We listen to them on long commutes back and forth to work. We listen to them while we clean our houses.
Somewhere out there, though, there is a feeling that children must physically read books. That listening to them is somehow cheating; not beneficial. In most cases, that is just not true.
Listening to audio books is actually one technique that can make a dramatic difference in a child's ability to read. Listening to an audio book, while reading the book simultaneously, is even better! Studies show that listening to a story being read, while reading along, improves comprehension and fluency.
This is where your local library steps in.
Did you know that the Cecil County Public Library has entire collections of audio books for children? We have audio books for beginning readers, like the popular Bob Books series available as a CD Book, where the CD is packaged directly with the book. Cecil County Public Library offers several CD Book titles in our EZ Reader section, like titles from Cynthia Rylant's series "Henry and Mudge," or "Fox in Socks," by Dr. Seuss.
Classic favorites by award-winning authors, as well as new titles, are available in our picture book area. Maybe a child in your life would like reading along, while listening to, a book by Kevin Henkes or Patricia Polacco! More challenging CD Books are available in our chapter book areas. We encourage you to check out the book with the CD Book, and listen as you read. We carry a slew of popular titles and series in CD Book format, from Junie B. Jones and Magic Tree House, to 39 Clues, Little House on the Prairie, and Harry Potter (just to name a few). Why not listen to a children's book on your way to school or sports practice?
For technology-hungry families, have you considered downloading audiobooks? CCPL has thousands of titles, click here.
Whether you are looking for strategies to help a struggling reader, or just a new way to enjoy a great book, try out an audio book and let us know about your experience the next time you stop by!
What's your favorite audiobook?

As I lie in my hospital bed, attempting to breathe through my trach tube at a normal rate, waiting for my morning medication, and hoping to hear good, or at least manageable, results from my doctors when they come to me on rounds, my mind wanders.

A four-year-old remains in critical condition after colliding with an all terrain vehicle while riding a motorbike Monday.
Although he was wearing the necessary safety gear at the time, some say that may not be enough.
Currently, there are no age restrictions to ride a motorbike, just recommendations for the size of bike you should ride.
In fact, it's not uncommon for kids as young as three to hop on a motorbike. But the Safe Kid's Coalition says you should think twice before letting your youngster ride.
Another common off-road vehicle, the ATV does have age restrictions.
Because of the high number of rollovers in recent years, you now have to be 16 to ride one.

NAMI Joins Group Launching Resources for Families On Treating Depression in Children and Adolescents
February 2, 2005
On February 1, 2005 NAMI participated in a press conference to launch ParentsMedGuide.org, a new resource center developed by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) for parents and caregivers of children and adolescents with depression. Darcy Gruttadaro, the Director of NAMI's Child & Adolescent Action Center, participated on a panel that also included family members and representatives from family advocacy groups, psychiatrists, and a primary care physician.
The newly launched web site includes a fact sheet for families titled "The Use of Medication in Treating Childhood and Adolescent Depression: Information for Patients and Families." The fact sheet, developed by the APA and AACAP in consultation with NAMI and other family advocacy groups, includes practical advice for families about treating depression in children and adolescents. It also includes information about the recent FDA decision to require a black box warning for antidepressant medications.
The ParentsMedGuide.org web site also includes a guide for physicians on treating depression in children and adolescents, including information on treatment alternatives and the latest science and research findings.
NAMI is developing a Family Guide for the Treatment of Adolescent Depression, which is currently being edited and will be available in the near future.
You can learn more about the APA and AACAP resource center by visiting the ParentsMedGuide.org web site.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Susan G. Komen for the Cure is set to honor four champions in the fight against breast cancer at its first "Honoring The Promise" gala at the Kennedy Center. One of those being honored is renowned surgeon oncologist and educator, Dr. LaSalle Leffall Jr. of Howard University Medical School. Dr. Leffall starts everyday day bright and early and full of energy. He is up at 430am to make rounds at the hospital and see his patients.
He told us, "If you don't have your health, I don't care what you want to do, you can't enjoy it. But with good health you can and I want to help people retain and regain their health."
Howard University Hospital has been his professional home since he entered medical school at age 18 in 1948. His teachers included medical pioneers Dr. Charles Drew, Dr. Burke Syphax, and Dr. Jack White.
"Had it not been for Howard University School of medicine, there's a great possibility I would not be a physician today, a surgical oncologist today," Dr. Leffall said.
Has a doctor he broke through racial barriers to become one of America's top doctors. Dr. Laffall retired from performing surgery four years ago, but he still continues to serve on the medical school's faculty as the Charles Drew Professor of Surgery. He told us he it is his job now to inspire, to stimulate, to stretch the imagination and to expand the aspirations of his students.
Dr. Laffall has been taught nearly 5-thousand medical students and hundreds of America's black surgeons. Outside the classroom, as president of the American Cancer Society and the American College of Surgeons, he has helped to draw national attention to the disturbing disparities between blacks and whites in cancer prevalence, treatment and mortality.
"We have to do a better job and let people know that this is something that is important and that something can be done to make a difference."
Dr. Leffall is a former board chairman for the Komen Foundation and said he is deeply honored to be recognized by the foundation for his hard work in helping them conquer their mission of finding a cure.

We lost an hour of sleep this weekend. The idea of Daylight Saving Time is credited to Benjamin Franklin back in 1784. When he was a delegate to France he wrote of his idea in an essay entitled 'An Economical Project'. A London builder, William Willett tried to popularize the idea in a 1907 pamphlet entitled 'A Waste of Daylight'. We adopted Daylight Saving Time in 1918 and then repealed in 1919. A few states and cities continued to use DST on a voluntary basis. From 1942 to 1945 President Roosevelt instituted year round daylight saving time known as War Time. After World War II since there was no federal law in effect DST again was left to the whims of each state and localities. You can imagine the confusion. Daylight Saving time saves energy. President Nixon signed the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act of 1973. Now we change the clocks on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November as mandated by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. When we spring forward patrons in a bar lose an hour of drinking. Yes, this has led to riots in some cities.
There is another story, I'm not sure it's true, but it is very interesting. During the Vietnam War, for all you youngsters we had a draft back then, a man from Delaware, who was born just after midnight DST would have been drafted but he argued his birthday was an hour earlier, because standard time was the state's official time to record births. By declaring his birthday one hour earlier he was assigned a higher draft number on the previous day and missed the draft. Hopefully remembered to replace the batteries in your smoke and CO2 detectors this weekend.

An elderly woman was hospitalized after she was hit by a car on Saturday evening, when a Zombie Walk event during California's Comic-Con weekend ended in chaos.
The annual parade, featuring fans dressed up as the undead, took place not far from the San Diego Convention Center, where a deaf driver, who was traveling with his two children, who were also hard of hearing, was stopped to let the march pass by.
The kids became scared, prompting the dad to try and move out of the area.
However, according to authorities, a number of Zombie Walk participants grew angry at the man for attempting to drive through the crowd and "surrounded and began punching" the car.
A spokesperson from the San Diego Police Department adds, "Several of them climbed onto the car and beat on the car. The car windshield was shattered by the crowd."
The man attempted to drive away and ended up knocking down the 64-year-old pedestrian, who sustained "serious arm injuries", before he was able to get away from the mob and flag down a police officer.
The Zombie Walk is not directly affiliated with organizers at Comic-Con.
No arrests were made, but police are currently investigating the scary incident.

i heard the newer phones have gps built in. that show your location. without the need to triangulate.
On the other hand, and I'm just saying, my experience is that most governments couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery.
Too bad they are spending so much effort watching law abiding citizens while thousands of people on expired work visas from hostile countries can't seem to be located. So the scary thing is not what is happening, but what COULD happen if the wrong leadership takes control. If ol' Adolph had this info available, their wouldn't be a Jew or Gypsy left in the world.

Cities meet Thursday to discuss gas tax distribution
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 11:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 11:18 a.m.
OCALA – The five cities located in Marion County will meet Thursday to discuss the way gas taxes are divided up and how Marion County has proposed the possibility of cutting the amount each city receives.
At previous meetings, the cities have expressed concern that any cuts could result in reductions in staff and/or services offered.
The Ocala City Council, at its meeting Tuesday night, discussed the possibility that the cities may be forced to raise taxes in order to make up for lost revenues should the county reduce the allocations, which have remained at the same percentage rates for the past 30 years.
The meeting Thursday, which involves officials from Ocala, Belleview, Dunnellon, McIntosh and Reddick, begins at 1 p.m. at the Ocala-Marion County Chamber Economic Partnership, 319 S.E. Third St., Ocala.

1--Laptop keyboard repair is important as laptops has become a funtamental part of our lives. Though,a depressing fact is that all laptops accessible in the day to day market are not consistent or standardized,they differ in sizes or many a time,parts of a laptop vary from the other. But,it does not create a crisis unless or untill,parts or the whole of the laptop is broken and a need for repair or surrogate arises. Due to the varying of the models and sizes of the laptops,it can create quite a problem for repairing or findin a subsitute for one or many parts of the laptop accessories i,e finding a detailed type of the part. Thus,an uncomplicated object like a laptop keyboard maybe poles apart from one another due to different creation and models and can create a crisis if the need for repair or replacement arises.
2--It has come into light that frequent usage of the laptop keyboards damages the keys and also the port which connects the laptop to the keyboard also gets dented up or in need of repair. Rest assure,repairing a laptop is achieveable whenever there is a problem or setback with some part or the whole of the laptop.
3--To make a key work,it has to touch the sensor right below the location of a specific key which is attached by a spring to the sensor,thereby the typed letter,appears on the computer screen. Eventually,a laptop is considered to be broken when the keys do not touch the sensor below and the typed letter does not appear on the computer screen. However,it can be mended easily and the need for a repair individual is not required,if and when you take the help of an online guide and be instructed on how to extract the specific key out of the keyboard,to know the core of the problem. If the problem is with the key,it can be repaired by yourself or if its not possible by yourself then you can always opt for exchanging the old key for a new one. But,you may be faced with a problem as it is not thoroughly possible to find everywhere,a dimunitive thing such as a key. Yet,due to the existence of stores in the market that deals in parts of laptops which has been accumulated from totally and irrepairable,damaged laptops,the possibility of getting the required keys can be accomplished.
4--To get a replacement for a keyboard which is further from repairable,you have to go for a alternate keyboard,which is costly,or can opt for an latest keyboard with a USB or PS2 port usable for laptop keyboard,i,e when the issue of laptop keyboard repair is not achievable.

Best Bag!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Perfect bag for a roadie, holds all of the essentials (no iPhone) without looking like a fanny pack or boat anchor on the back of your steed. I have larger packs that still get some use, but I like them less and less having used this pack and it's simple yet ingenious mounting system. You don't need to fiddle around with clips and Velcro trying to get to your gear, just twist and go. As far as the other reviewer who lost it on a ride, I might not recommend it on intense single track stuff, but that being said I have 4 of these on different bikes (cyclocross, road, mtb) and haven't lost any.
Buy it then lose it
The attachment doesn't work. Buy it, fill it with expensive tools, then get home one day and find it missing. Dumb. I lost a bag in less than a week. I had purchased a second coupler for my other bike. What a waste. An expensive waste. Dumb.
I've been using Sci-con saddle bags for over 6 years and have never lost one. Maybe you failed to check to see that it was fastened properly?
For my money, Sci-con bags are the best on the market.
