Walk-in tub business gives liberty to all bathers
Published: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 11:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 11:58 a.m.
Liberty Bathing Walk-in Tubs in Thomasville will hold the grand opening of its manufacturing plant and showroom with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Aug. 7.
Co-owner Jennifer Campbell said that she and her husband, Darian, wanted to provide an affordable, American-made product for the people in the area.
"You shouldn't have to be a millionaire to have a walk-in tub," Campbell said. "You should also have something that will last."
The couple have worked in the walk-in tub industry for 15 years. She said they became interested in the concept when a disabled family member was looking for more independence in his life.
"We wanted to make a product that was affordable whether it is someone in a wheelchair looking for accessibility or an elderly person concerned about safety," Campbell said.
She said that although there are other walk-in tub retailers in the area, most products are made in other countries and assembled here.
"We create our own molds and cast our own tubs," Campbell said. "We are entirely American made; even our pumps are made in California."
They have four basic models to choose from, but each can be customized to match any decor and should not take more than a day to be installed, depending on the condition of the customer's walls and floor.
"My husband has a knack for making a tub look like it has always belonged there," Campbell said. "He has an eye for colors and design themes."
Liberty Bathing Walk-in Tubs is located in the old Hanes sock factory in Thomasville. Campbell said the building suits their needs because it has a manufacturing plant, offices and a showroom. She said it was important for them to use one of the empty buildings in town.
"It's depressing seeing all these buildings just sitting there," Campbell said. "We wanted to do something to better our community and make one less empty building."
The Campbells are partners with Steve and Darlene Brown. Campbell said that the partners all share the same vision to supply high-quality, American-made, affordable walk-in tubs.
"We say that since Thomasville is known for its Big Chair, we want to put a chair in everyone's bathroom," Campbell said.
Liberty Bathing Walk-in Tubs is located at 105 Todd Court in Thomasville. It is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or by appointment. Contact information is www.libertybathing.com, 472-2244 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

How dare Pippa Middleton muscle her way into this headline
PIPPA Middleton was last night accused of cashing in on her sister's royal status after ruthlessly hijacking the beginning of this sentence.
The Duchess of Cambridge's younger sibling then dominated the second paragraph of a news story that was going to be about our brave heroes until she turned up.
And as the third paragraph reached its midway point it emerged that the fiercely ambitious Pippa had every intention of making sure her name was the sixteenth word in it.
But Royal insiders have warned that Pippa, the second daughter of Carole and Michael Middleton – who will no doubt ruthlessly expect a mention of their Party Pieces website – could be in for a rude awakening if her name keeps appearing in this article.
A Buckingham Palace source said: "She could find herself being shunned by the Inner Circle if she insists on barging into newspaper sentences like a right little Pippa Middleton.
"And there she is again. That is simply outrageous."
A friend of the now ubiquitous Middleton sister who has skilfully manoeuvred herself into every part of this article about our brave heroes added: "A few months ago she was just a normal girl who would be horrified if she knew I was going to end this sentence with the word 'Pippa' .
"But now here I am talking about her as if she thinks she has some God-given right to do stuff, like walking around and having hair.
"She needs to remember that people are saying she is not the Queen's granddaughter-in-law, she is just the Queen's granddaughter-in-law-in-law, like everyone else."

Junior Seth Maness struck out eight in 7.2 innings to help ECU defeat No. 2 Southern Miss (photo by Thomas Shea).
May 27, 2010
ECU 8, USM 1 (PDF) l ECU-USM Quotes (PDF)
HOUSTON, Texas - One day after dropping a lopsided decision to the regular-season league champion, sixth-seeded East Carolina bounced back in a big way to defeat No. 2 seed Southern Miss 8-1 to open day two of the 2010 Conference USA Baseball Championship Thursday afternoon at the University of Houston's Cougar Field.
The Pirates got the job done both at the plate and on the mound as left fielder Devin Harris went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs and a career-high five RBI while Seth Maness fanned eight in a solid 7.2 inning start. Harris was one of four East Carolina players to post multiple-hit performances as shortstop John Wooten went 3-for-5 while third baseman Corey Thompson and designated hitter Austin Homan tallied two hits apiece.
With the win, East Carolina improves to 32-26 on the year and can clinch a spot in Saturday's league championship game with a win tomorrow against Memphis. Southern Miss dropped to 33-22 for the season with the loss, but can still earn a berth in the C-USA Championship game with a win tomorrow vs. host Houston and a Memphis win over the Pirates.
Maness had a no-hitter going through five innings before giving up a leadoff double to Southern Miss right fielder Tyler Koelling to open the sixth. The reigning C-USA Pitcher-of-the-Year shook off the bump in the road to remain effective throughout his time toeing the rubber, giving up just one unearned run on five hits and a walk to improve to 10-3. Maness is now 18-3 against C-USA teams during his time with the Pirates and picked up his 28th career win, which ranks fourth all-time in C-USA history and tied for fourth in the ECU career record book.
Harris, meanwhile, went yard in each of his first two at-bats - belting a solo home run in the second to open the scoring and crushing a grand slam in the third to put the Pirates on top, 5-0. Following a scoreless fourth, East Carolina stretched the lead to 8-0 in the fifth courtesy of an RBI-single by Homan, a run-scoring fielder's-choice groundout off the bat of second baseman Cam Freeman and a throwing error by the Southern Miss defense.
The Golden Eagles avoided the shutout in the eighth when second baseman Taylor Walker reached on a fielder's choice, advanced to second on a single by shortstop B.A. Vollmuth and came around to score in an RBI-knock by designated hitter Adam Doleac.
Koelling and centerfielder Dillon Day posted two hits each to lead Southern Miss. Lost in the shuffle of East Carolina's win was a solid relief effort by Golden Eagles' hurler Mandella Mingo, who came out of the bullpen to scatter three hits and strike out two in 3.0 scoreless innings.
Southern Miss starter Geoffrey Thomas was tagged with the loss after giving up five runs on four hits and four walks while fanning a pair in 2.1 frames. The Pirates also tagged Cody Schlagel for three runs (two earned) on four hits and a free pass over the next 2.0 innings.
East Carolina's championship game-deciding contest against Memphis will open day three of the C-USA Championship tomorrow at noon (EDT).
Post-Game Notes:

A determined man, a headstrong woman, and a battle of wills.
Matthew longs for a woman to share his life, not his bank account. He owns a prestigious company that he rules with an iron fist. On his way to an important meeting, a light flirtation turns into more than he expects. He meets a woman with more confidence and strength than most men. Long legs get his attention, but Carrie attracts his interest. The alluring beauty does not need his money, and makes it clear she does not need him. He accepts the unspoken challenge.
Carrie trusts no man. An executive partner, she possesses a confidence that makes her assertive and her aggressiveness toward the male gender is somewhat intimidating. Until a pair of mischievous eyes melts her defenses, and has her second guessing her convictions. The day he shoved her into that cab he must have chiseled a chink in her armor. Matthew charges into her well organized life, cracks the stone wall she's built and instills an emotion she swore never to allow.
Infatuation and excitement spark a journey of passion and forbidden emotion where two people must overcome their earlier convictions to find an everlasting love.
Samanthya Wyatt loves a good romance story. As a child she had many desires, but the one thing that seemed to come natural to her was write—poems, short stories. She left her accounting career and married a military man traveling and raising their children in the United States and abroad. She now lives with her husband in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.
Having a full time job and taking care of a family, her outlet was reading a good romance novel. Ideas were persistently running through her head, so she began writing in hopes to one day see her own book sitting on a shelf. She pursued her dream by joining RWA, and is now a member of several Romance chapters and Savvy authors.
A pitch opportunity resulted in two editors of Soul Mate Publishing contacting Samanthya and offering contracts for not one book, but two. Her historical romance, The Right One is the first in a trilogy, the One and Only Series. A contemporary, Something More, was also released in June one week after her historical.
Samanthya enjoys penning a story with strong characters, a bit of humor, and active scenes. She invites you to lay the worries of the world off your shoulders and get lost in the pages of a romance, where you embark on a journey with the hero and heroine, become involved in a dream, plunge into a world of fantasy, and live an adventure your heart can share.

Actress Demetria McKinney, best known for her roles in Tyler Perry's House of Payne and the Rickey Smiley Show, hosted an exclusive invite-only dinner and listening session of her upcoming EP "Officially Yours" at Tree Sound Studios in Atlanta, GA last night. Attendees experienced a private dinner with the up-and-coming songstress prepared by renowned chef, Chef Mali and were privy to being the first to hear McKinney's highly anticipated EP.
McKinney debuted all six (6) songs that will be featured on the "Officially Yours" EP. The final song, "100", which was produced by powerhouse team, "The Good Guys", was an upbeat and realistic crowd favorite. Proved to be a standout single for the summer, "100" talks about men who fail to keep it real with women about their lifestyle.
Appreciative for the excellent and influential turnout, McKinney utilized this project to introduce herself as a "singer who just happens to be an actress." The first single off the "Officially Yours" EP will be released in May and the entire EP will be available for purchase summer 2014. The successful event was sponsored by ASCAP, Tree Sounds, Givenchy and Courvoisier.

Shining Moments:

1997: Luke Smith won the NCAA Singles Championship and partnered up with Tom Blenkibon to win the NCAA Doubles Championship in tennis.
1987: Trena Hull wins the 1,000-meter at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships.
1984: Sheila Tarr wins the heptathlon at the NCAA Track & Field Championships.
Interesting Tidbits:
The nickname "Rebels" was given to UNLV athletic teams because the school, emerging from the shadow of the University of Nevada, Reno, in effect "rebelled" against its bigger and older brother to the north.
The men's basketball program has played in 19 NCAA Tournaments, reached the Sweet 16 10 times and made four Final Fours. The Rebels have had 13 players selected in the first round of the NBA Draft, including eight lottery picks, and 47 taken overall.
Sam Boyd Stadium, the home of Rebel football, also hosts the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas and pitches the top choice from the Mountain West against the fifth pick from the Pac-12 Conference. Fresno State played in the 1999 Las Vegas Bowl at at Sam Boyd Stadium, falling 17-16 to Utah. Since Sam Boyd Stadium was built in 1971, Fresno State has a 5-3 record at SBS and is 5-2 vs. UNLV. The last time Fresno State played the Rebels in Las Vegas was in 1996, a 34-23 win. The Bulldogs have won their last four games against UNLV in Vegas.
The UNLV tennis teams, both men and women, have reached a high level of success. They have produced two NCAA individual titles, 13 All-Americans, 10 conference championships, 12 league MVPs, one Mountain West Student-Athlete of the Year and 72 ITA Scholar Athletes. Rebel Tennis plays as the Fertitta Tennis Complex, which in 2005 was named one of the top 10 public tennis facilities by USA Today's travel section. The complex features 12 courts, a stadium club and seating for up to 2,000 people.
Fresno State-UNLV Classic:
On Feb. 19, 1984, Fresno State defeated fifth-ranked UNLV 68-43 at Selland Arena. The game was coined as the greatest game ever in Selland Arena, which housed the Bulldogs for 37 years from 1967-2003. The 25-point victory over the fifth-ranked Rebels that day remains as the largest Bulldog victory over a ranked opponent in program history and it is the second-highest ranked team that Fresno State has ever beaten.
Fresno State's largest victory over against a ranked opponent also came in that 1983-84 season, as the 'Dogs topped No. 3 Houston, 68-61 on Dec. 26, 1983. Houston, who was the eventual national runner-up to Georgetown that season, was led Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon, as part of the Phi Slama Jama.
That 1983-84 UNLV team was coached by Jerry Tarkanian, who was Fresno State's coach from 1995-02. The Rebels finished that season with a 29-6 record, while Fresno State went 25-8 and tied for the second-most wins in school history.
Also of Note: On March 19, 2006, Fresno State and UNLV met in the first round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament, with the Bulldogs women's basketball team prevailing 77-57 over the Rebels at the Save Mart Center.

I will always stay here when I come to Napa. Beautifully appointed property with fabulous courtyard, quiet and peaceful while still being walking distance to all of DT Napa. The staff is incredibly warm and inviting. Treats for your dog as well as you: wine and cheese happy hour is hosted and delightfully social. Thoughtful touches in the room, including a coverlet for the bed for your pup. Breakfast is balanced and large, perfect accommodations all the way around.
Home Away from Home, for Dogs Too!
Ann in Seattle, WA
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jim and Carol Beazley - such genuinely nice, warm and lovely hosts who provide a beautiful place for travelers to stay. I was traveling alone from Arizona to Seattle with my 3-year-old lab and found their property on BringFido. I stayed in the Blossom View room, with a courtyard right outside your door, perfect for ease of entry and exit (you won't disturb other guests). The entire property is very secure, with easy access to the neighborhood for walking, Alston Dog Park is a 10-minute drive, and lovely restaurants in downtown Napa, within a few blocks of the house. Oh, and did I mention the incredible breakfast (as so many other guests have noted)?! Blueberry muffins, homemade granola, the best poached egg I've ever had. And while I could only stay one night, it was such a treat to chat personally with the owners, Jim & Carol, the following morning in the kitchen, while they were preparing a lovely breakfast for guests! Every detail they put into the property shows they truly care about their business, the house itself, and all of the guests.
Danielle in Oregon
Our stay here was wonderful! We took the suggestion for the Garden Room and it was completely worth it!!! The dogs were so comfortable and we absolutely loved it!!! The extra cost vs some standard hotels is completely amazing!! There is the most amazing breakfast and a fantastic wine and snack hour!!! We can't say enough our great our stay gas been!! The staff is so welcoming and have great tips and help with restaurants, vineyards, shopping, etc...
The Garden Room
Albert in Monterey, CA
The Garden Room is the best room at Beazley if you're traveling with your dog. It has a private outdoor area that you can use to let your dog out for some fresh air without having to chase him. The owners are very nice people and they make a great breakfast in the morning. The evening wine tasting was also a nice touch.

Release Date: 2004-11-05 (Limited)
Genre: Suspense/Thriller,
Rating: R
Duration: 2hrs 03min
In the 70's, during the last stages of Franco's dictatorship, Txema, a construction worker, is arrested because of his connection to some terrorists who have just committed a murder. The Secret Service decides to use him to infiltrate the ETA terrorist band. They try to offer him a deal. Financial problems force him to take their money and accept the mission. He adopts the undercover name of "Lobo" (Wolf) and becomes an active member of the band and acquires the trust of its leaders. He discovers that the group has deep internal divisions between those who want to abandon the armed fight and become just a political party, and those who want to keep the terrorist activity until they can proclaim their independence. After the band carries out their most daring and shocking crime yet, killing the prime minister, Carrero Blanco, the military heads in Madrid launch an immediate attack on ETA. Ricardo, the chief of the secret service, convinces them to wait until Lobo can complete his mission and enable them to dismantle the band. But when the Barcelona police manage to catch the leader of the band, the generals, jealous of this success, decide they can't wait any more and that they will override the secret service and catch whatever ETA members are in Madrid at that point, including Lobo, who is now left to his own devices to escape from both sides.

Liberal is hosting the 11-year old Cal Ripken State Baseball Tournament at Rosel Field Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Liberal's baseball organizers raised 12-hundred dollars to pay for the event to come to Liberal. That means seven teams and their traveling parties will be staying in Liberal's hotels, eating at the restaurants, swimming at the new pool, buying gas, using the parks, and shopping in Liberal. The fact that Bazaar Days are Friday and Saturday in Liberal gives shoppers and businesses the perfect storm this weekend. Teams from Ottawa, Wellington, SPIAA (Greensburg and Spearville areas), Columbus, Buhler, Fort Scott, and Andover will play at least three days in Liberal with four teams playing four days in the "Crossroads of Commerce."
Assistant Commisioner for Kansas Cal Ripken baseball for 11-year olds Paul Unrau was here in 2005 when Liberal hosted state. "The tournament is very well organized," Unrau said. "The volunteers do a very good job. And of course the field. There are places that don't have facilities like you have here so it's really nice to come here and the fans enjoy it. That's what appeals to them are covered stands, grass infield, and everything is taken care of very well." The games will be played on Rosel Field.
Thursday night there was a picnic catered by Billy's at Bluebonnet Park. There was a running competition at Rosel Field Thursday night and then the kids were let loose in Adventure Bay Family Water Park. Friday morning was the coach's meeting and breakfast at Liberal Parks and Recreation Center. The Sportsguys broadcast live from the rec. center.

What People are Saying about My Art
They are spectacular
Mary, how are you? The other day I was in [Tatiana Maria Gallery] and saw your paintings. They are spectacular. I [asked] 'who is this 'Mary' who painted these?" The skies are so magical and the mountains (and cat) are almost surreal. You really seem to have captured what people come to New Mexico to paint. It is very powerful and vibrant. I am very, very impressed. Blown away might be a better description. So, congrats!!
I came home stunned
Dear Mary
I can't thank you enough for inviting me to your presentation of your Tsunami work [installation]. I came home stunned, and over the next week I sorted out the feelings that I had as a result of being there. As you know my son Andrew had just arrived to stay with us for a week before going off to Israel. I was very worried because he didn't have anything about his year long trip pinned down, and I had vowed that he would not leave without at least a definite place to stay. Well, your art showed me that I had to reach out and also to let go, both of which I was able to do, a miracle, believe me. He still does not have a place to stay, but I now know that he will reach out to others and what is supposed to happen will. I am truly able to let go! thank you again, dear Mary, and please continue on your path of art and healing with blessings from your great fan and friend, Carolyn

The Universal Web
By John Clingan-Oracle on Feb 27, 2005
I have a universal remote rontroller at home to control my TV, DVD Player and VCR. I know others who have \*many\* more techno-toys than that. Have you \*ever\* seen one Universal remote controller that actually works with all of your devices? There may be one, but I haven't seen it. I have never walked in to a home with one universal remote controller. I actually have two, not one. Neither supports all of the (rather basic) features of all of my techno-toys. I think the tops I have seen was 4 universal remote controllers to control a home theatre.

User reviews on Assassin's Bullet
I did not like this film and do not recommend seeing it in the theaters unless you are willing to spend money on a C-quality film. I found the film to be completely illogical and full of silly cliches and over-staged action sequences. I think the makers of this film did not really care about this project too much and it really shows. The plot is full of holes, the dialogue is absolutely terrible and the film is extremely predictable therefore it becomes boring very fast. Overall, stay away from this film and you will save your money and time.

There are many reasons why it's hard to get a bead on how many breweries operate in Colorado. For one, new ones are opening at a lightning pace, keeping the total number in constant flux. For two, there's the question of which breweries really count? If one company has multiple locations, does each location count as an individual brewery or are they all, collectively, one? Then there are breweries like Centennial Beer Company, a contract brewery. Contract breweries don't have their own space, their own equipment, their own taproom, they borrow from another brewery (in this case, Crazy Mountain Brewing Company). It was in this way Centennial Beer was able to brew, can, and distribute All-American Red Ale (5% ABV).
Color: All-American Red is crystalline in its clarity with a more-orange-than-red hue and a head of off-white.
Aroma: There's a surprising amount of malt complexity and peculiarity to All-American Red's aroma; this beer smells a bit grape-like, wine-y. Certainly, no grapes were used in the brewing process but, sometimes, the right mixture of malts, hops, yeast, and water can create some really odd-ball scents.
Taste: Upon first sipping All-American Red, the thought "weak barleywine" pops into mind. Indeed, there is a leathery, malty, caramel aspect to the beer that is not unlike its more-alcoholic brother (albeit on a much more muted scale). There's a tiny hop bite in the aftertaste but it's nothing too notable. Overall, All-American Red features light-and-easy flavors.
Mouthfeel: All-American Red starts wet, fades to dry, and sports a medium thick body that washes down with a silky texture.
Does Centennial Beer—with its lack of facility—deserve to be counted among the vast numbers of Colorado breweries? That's a judgment call for the individual beer geek to make. However, it is true that All-American was made in Colorado by people living in Colorado thus making it a Colorado beer and a beer worthy of local support. Pick up a six-pack today, help them grow and expand and, one day, perhaps they will have their own brewing space.

Part 10 from the Win-Win for the Greater Good series
Imagine two pieces of leather connected by one simple thread. You hold one piece and your friend holds the other. Now imagine that you both pull on the separate pieces of leather. The thread breaks very easily. Now imagine the two pieces of leather are connected by three threads. You pull again. You feel a brief bit of resistance from the three threads, but still they break without much effort. Now imagine that there are 10 threads connecting the two pieces of leather. Now pull, pull hard. With quite a bit of effort you might be able to break a few of the threads, but probably not all 10. In any case, the resistance was strong, the bond of the 10 threads held firmly.
And so it is with cross-sector partnerships. When the relationship consists of only one linkage between the organizations, let's say the for-profit organization buys tickets to a nonprofit's annual fundraising dinner, that link (or thread) can easily be broken. For example, no one from the for-profit organization may actually go to the dinner but it wanted to show their support for the nonprofit's mission. There was no bond, no real relationship. Now imagine that there are three links between the for-profit and the nonprofit – the for-profit organization bought the fundraising dinner tickets, had donated some used computer equipment to the nonprofit and some of their employees spent a Saturday painting the nonprofit's dining room where they provide free meals to the homeless. Now there is a pretty strong relationship with these three linkages between the organizations. Each year when the for-profit reviews their community relationships and contribution strategy, they will look favorably upon this nonprofit organization where they have developed three good links.
Now imagine the two organizations have developed 5, 6 maybe even up to 10 linkages. Now imagine trying to pull these two organizations apart. It's very difficult, indeed darn near impossible, to break apart such a strong, binding relationship. |
I use this example for two reasons. When multiple linkages are developed between the for-profit and nonprofit organization, a very strong bond and relationship is established over the years. This nonprofit organization is uppermost in the for-profit's contribution strategy. Their employees are volunteering time to serve that nonprofit and their organization is receiving the benefit of higher morale and employment retention because of the satisfaction they receive from working in the community on their company's behalf. Going down the list of potential linkages, the individual partners realize that many if not all of those involved in their organization have become engaged in this relationship, and all are benefiting from it. So much good is coming from this relationship, from these linkages and benefits.
The second reason I give this example is what happens in challenging economic times. When a down economy may cause a for-profit company to struggle, they will look to areas where they can decrease their expenses, and naturally, one of the areas they will analyze is their corporate philanthropy and their nonprofit relationships. If their management, community relations department or foundation decides to reduce their annual contributions by say 10%, who will they cut out of their nonprofit funding or partnership plan? Yes, the easiest to come off the list are those organizations where they have the fewest linkages. While these nonprofits may be doing good work in the community and the company likes supporting them, the bond between the nonprofit organizations and the company is rather weak.
Now just try to recommend pulling funding and company support away from the organization with whom the company has spent many years developing a close and strong partnership relationship, and where they have 5, 6, or maybe 10 linkages. One of the company's senior managers is probably sitting on the Board of Directors of that nonprofit organization, and they certainly are going to object. The company's employees who feel great pride in their commitment and volunteerism to that nonprofit will not want to see any change. The media coverage that the company has received from the relationship would stop and they don't want to see that happen. There is a long list of reasons why the for-profit will not want to sever ties with organizations where they have developed such strong linkages.
This is also a very clear message to nonprofit organizations. In difficult economic times, the companies that have the strongest linkages and partnerships with a nonprofit will, to the extent that they can, fight hard to continue to keep that partnership going. They have too much to lose and will receive too much resistance from their employees and all those involved with their organization. In most cases, they will look to lessen or possibly terminate their relationships/ funding with other nonprofit organizations with whom they have fewer linkages and a weaker relationship. Don't be on that list.
Nonprofit, for-profit, education or government sector - it doesn't matter. The more threads, the more benefits developed between the organizations through cross-sector partnerships, the stronger and more lasting the relationship becomes, and the benefits to all partners and their stakeholders continue to grow.

Heroin has been a serious problem on Long Island over the last few years, and now the highly-addictive drug is back in the news again, with the recent death of acclaimed actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman, who most recently starred in the "The Hunger Games" movie franchise.
Hoffman was found in his New York City apartment, with heroin near his body. He had struggled with drug addiction in the past, and had apparently relapsed. Several suspected drug dealers have since been arrested, in connection with his death. The death of this beloved actor has once again brought the subject of heroin back into the New York media.
Over the past few years, deaths from heroin have become far more common. While many people have the vision in their mind of drug deals taking places on the street corners of inner cities, the truth is heroin is commonly used, even in areas of suburban Long Island.
So, what exactly makes heroin so appealing to users?
For one, heroin is an extremely cheap drug, especially when compared to drugs such as Vicodin, which often makes it appealing to younger adults. It is usually injected into the arm with a needle. One can also quickly develop a tolerance for heroin, but perhaps its main appeal for users is it usually produces instant feelings of euphoria. Some even believe that it produces more "euphoric" feelings than any other drug.
Of course, the drug comes with huge downsides for users. Aside from the most obvious (serious addiction), heroin users are also at-risk for contracting serious illnesses, such as HIV and hepatitis if needles are shared, as well skin abscesses, and poor kidney function later in life.
Jails today are filled with people who have been charged with possession of heroin, although perhaps rehabilitation services would be more beneficial to those addicted to this serious drug.
While often considered a "forgotten" drug, heroin continues to be an issue in our society, even on Long Island. It is important that knowledge be shared about this drug, in order to prevent further tragedies in the future.

Results tagged ' CC Sabathia '
Long Live The King…
Coming into this past baseball season, the two most coveted pitchers I wanted for my fantasy baseball team were Roy Halladay and Felix Hernandez. I got King Felix, though it looks like it wouldn't have really even mattered one way or the other!
Congrats to Hernandez for winning the 2010 AL Cy Young Award. This year will likely go down as the turning point in the battle of the "stat heads" (Felix had only 13 wins on a horrible team) vs. the traditionalists (who likely voted for David Price or CC Sabathia). Here's the way I look at it, though:
Day in and day out, who was the most dominant pitcher in the AL? Though Price comes close, I'll take King Felix right now.
Twins vs. Yankees X-Factors
Well, here it is, the night before the playoff ALDS opener against the New York Yankees at Target Field. Here are my "x-factors" for this series:
The first two starters…
Both these two starters are renowned Twins-killers, capable of shutting down even our most potent bats for inning after inning. To me, just splitting (even at home) with these guys on the mound would be the best we could hope for, as I'm confident that Duensing will beat Hughes in the Bronx for Game 3. However, two straight losses would pretty much doom us.
For the Twins:
The big righthanded bat…
In previous years, the Twins have never had that powerful righthanded bat in the lineup to counter-act a tough lefty on the mound. Delmon Young changes the equation.
Also, though I won't necessarily say this is a prediction, but I think Ron Gardenhire gives the Twins a big edge…
Not saying that Joe Girardi isn't a quality manager as well, but you know that Gardy will have our boys ready to go for every game. Plus, this year he has some "bullets in the chamber" instead of blanks to match up with the Yanks' firepower.
I'm too superstitious to make a prediction on this series due to the fact that my home team is in it, so about all that's left to say is this:
Preview: C.C. Sabathia (0-0, 0.00) vs. Francisco Liriano (0-0, 0.00). The slate is wiped clean in the postseason!
No Lee…No Problem?
Well, if the current trade buzz is accurate (and it probably is, as when the Yankees want a guy they usually get him), those two guys could be teammates in pinstripes in a few short weeks or days.
Most hard-core Twins fans should be about drowned in their soup over that news, as a Lee-Sabathia-Pettite rotation would be nearly unstoppable, but perhaps all is not yet lost.
A few weeks ago, Houston Astro Roy Oswalt announced his desire to be traded from the pathetic 'Stros:
Just a few years ago, this guy was considered one of the top three pitchers in the National League, until injuries and pathetic team play dropped him down a notch. He's healthy now, though, and putting together a solid season on the mound.
I actually like his case better than Cliff Lee's, because likely we wouldn't have to give up BOTH Ramos and Hicks to obtain him, and we might even have a chance to sign him next year (he might not just be a rent-a-player).
So, if the Yanks do jump off the Cliff, perhaps we can still land a solid starter in his abscence.
It Could Be Worse…At Least We Aren't Cleveland
Last night, the Twins got pounded by the Blue Jays…plain and simple:
They homered us right out of their stadium, beating up on Scott Baker in the process. Besides a solo shot from Michael Cuddyer, we couldn't do squat against their pitchers and ended up in third place in the standings because of it.
However, as I lamented that fact, I happened to flip over to Lebron James TV (oh, sorry, aka ESPN) to hear "The Big Decision". After hearing the outcome (James to the Heat), I'm just glad I'm not a sports fan in Cleveland. Consider:
The Cavaliers just lost (arguably) the best player in the NBA and, despite what their owner says, will likely not win a championship before he does. I don't follow professional basketball closely enough to say that with impunity, but without King James they will be a worse team…plain and simple.
The Browns are just as exciting as their pure orange logo, having one decent season (which only proved to be a few lucky passes from Derek Anderson to Braylon Edwards) since their franchise resurrection in the 1990s.
The saddest case, though, is probably that of the Cleveland Indians. Three seasons ago, they were on the verge of a World Series berth, what with CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee in the rotation and Travis Hafner looking like the natural version of Mark McGwire. Now, they are battling the KC Royals for the AL Central cellar.
So, perhaps I should just be thankful for a competitive ballclub…although I still want an SP and a closer!
Preview (45-40, 3rd, 1.5 GB CWS): Francisco Liriano (6-6, 3.32) vs. Justin Verlander (10-5, 3.85). Ace vs. Ace. Never has a team needed the All-Star break more than the Twins do right now, but they need to keep the fire burning for three more crucial division games.
Contemplating The Yanks
This weekend, the Twins will head to Yankee Stadium in New York for three games with their own particular version of kryptonite: the Yankees.
There is a particular amount of buzz about this series in the Twins Cities area right now (whether suffocating or stimulating is up for interpretation), primarily due to the Twins' hot start and the potential to erase a few past demons. Basically, we haven't been able to do squat against the Yankees since, ironically enough, we started winning on a consitent basis back in 2002. However, here is the reason why I finally see the Twins turning things around…starting tomorrow night:
To me, the difference between the Twins and the Yankees has always been a deep bench. Whether Joe Torre or Joe Girardi, in late-inning situations there's also a big bat coming off the bench that can wreak havoc. The best example of this was in the '04 ALDS, when Ruben Sierra came off their bench as opposed to Michael Ryan off ours. Ouch.
The picture above more accurately represents our bench (in past years) in a time of need. Gardy scans the length of the dugout and finds such guys as Brian Buscher, Ryan, Nick Punto, or Matt Tolbert to try and create runs off of Joba Chamberlain or Mariano Rivera. Not likely.
However, this year we have both the lineup depth AND the pitching to keep pace with the mighty Yankees. They may still outpace us in top-tier (Sabathia, Burnett, A-Rod, Jeter, etc.) talent, but we now have the bats to hang with them even into the late innings.
Plus, remember this…
In 2003, we took the first game at Yankee stadium before collapsing. In '04, we took the first and almost had the second if not for a Nathan blown save. Last year, we played them toughed in nearly every regular season game (a lot of walk-off wins for them), and had a chance to win all three of those playoffs games if we could have gotten some clutch hits.
Could this be the start of a new era for the Twins (competing with the big boys)? This weekend provides the first test.
The Missing Piece
In today's baseball economy, simple numbers (if not a relatively shallow talent pool because of expansion) dictate that teams build a pitching staff one of two wins: Either rely on one or two horses and patchwork, or collect five "average joes" that give you a chance to win every night and pray that one develops into an ace.
For playoff-bound teams, the former solution seems to be the way to go, as evidenced by the Yankees being able to essentially rely on the shoulders of CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett all the way through to the World Series championship. The Twins, however, may have just gotten lucky…
Earlier tonight, Francisco Liriano and Justin Verlander hooked up in a duel that could have easily been the first game of a postseason series, with Frankie matching Verlander pitch for pitch and eventually out-dueling him with eight scoreless innings of 4-hit ball and 10 strikeouts.
There was one sequence in the bottom of the fifth inning that I especially enjoyed: With young Scott Sizemore at the plate, Liriano broke off two nasty sliders down and in for swinging strikes. After one high heater to change Sizemore's eye level, Cisco came back with the slider and made the young man look silly. Just complete domination the likes of which we haven't seen since, well, Liriano (at least in '06-form)!
Right now, there is just a certain electricity whenever Liriano takes the hill, and that's what being an ace is all about…just knowing that you have that advantage right from the get-go. Of course, it's too early to give Frankie the Cy-Young plaque already, but the signs sure are encouraging. I can't wait for Sunday to see him again!
-A funny thought: In last year's game 163 against Detroit, Michael Cuddyer was at first base because of Morneau's back injury, Alexi Casilla was in the infield, and Ryan Raburn was misplaying balls out in left. Huh (!). In all seriousness, though, I hope Justin is okay and just tweaked a muscle trying to catch up with Verlander's heat.
Preview (14-6, 1st, 3.5 GA DET): Scott Baker (2-2, 4.81) vs. Max Scherzer (1-1, 2.63).
Take You Back
Oooh boy…as if the Twins needed anything more to be positive about after two road series wins and the opening of Target Field, earlier today Francisco Liriano pitched up to his 2006 form, styming the Red Sox for seven innings (with eight whiffs) while the Twins' bats exploded (or perhaps this is just their normal capacity?).
One of the weaknesses that I perceived in the Twins this year was the lack of a true ace that could kill them come playoff time as it has in past seasons. Baker, Blackburn, Pavano, and Slowey all give you a chance to win day in and day out, but none are a real stopper in the Johan Santana mold. If Frankie keeps locating his fastball and curving that filthy slider, he's the guy that can match up against the Sabathia's, Beckett's, or Hernandez's in the first game of a playoff series.
Preview (7-3, 1st, 0.5 GA DET): Zack Grienke (0-1, 3.55) vs. Scott Baker (1-1, 3.86). I smell a pitcher's duel…

Thick client for Sun's Calendar Server
By John Clingan-Oracle on Oct 27, 2006
Thanks, Jonathan, for the tip on connecting Thunderbird to Sun's Calendar Server. I have been wanting a thick client for this to augment the web itnerface.
1) Download the WCAP extension (here for Solaris).
2) Download the Calendar extension (here for solaris).
3) Create a new calendar and point to Sun's calendar web site (https://....)
I've got this background task (moving at a snail's pace) to write a calendar client for the SavaJe platform, also using WCAP. Not sure if I'll ever get it done. If I do, I'll post it.

Tony Parker Suing W.i.P. for $20 Million After Drake-Brown Brawl Leaves Him With a Boo-Boo
Just when you thought that story couldn't get any more obnoxious!
And here you probably thought that Drake–Chris Brown Champagne brawl story couldn't get any more obnoxious. Wrong!

So he's suing the now-closed W.I.P. club for $20 million. According to the AP, the suit "says the W.i.P club in SoHo and its operators were negligent in security and supervision." Quel dommage!

Jackson Glines, former Yosemite High baseball player now playing for Fresno City College, has given a verbal commitment to play next year for the University of Michigan.
Glines, a 2010 Yosemite High graduate, played left field for Ron Scott's Rams last season and was named the team's Most Valuable Player after batting .393 with seven triples as the Rams (29-13) won the Central Valley Conference title. Glines finished the season with 29 RBIs, 14 stolen bases, and 48 runs scored, which ranked him No. 4 in the state in that category.
Last year, the Rams lost to Sierra College at the Super Regionals 10-6 after giving up four runs in the top of the 10th inning, one game short of playing for the state championship.
In the three games at last year's Super Regionals, Glines went 8 for 15 with a double, three triples, six RBIs and scored five runs.
This season, the 6-foot, 185 pound Glines is playing center field for the Rams (24-10, 18-4) and batting .357 with eight doubles, three home runs and 18 RBIs. The team is currently ranked No. 4 amongst junior college teams in Northern California.
Glines had big games last weekend as the Rams clinched coach Ron Scott's 18th Central Valley Conference championship with a 16-7 win over Taft on Saturday and a 4-1 win Sunday over West Hills.
Glines had three hits in the Taft game and a three-run double in the West Hills game.
The Rams will wrap up conference play against Porterville and Merced before entering the first round of the Nor Cal Playoffs on May 4. The junior college state championship will be decided on May 18 in Fresno.
First year Michigan coach Eric Dakich saw Glines last year at a junior college tournament. At the time Dakich was coaching the University of Maryland. Michigan's recruiting coach flew out west about a month ago to see Glines play and two weeks ago Glines visited the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. During the visit, Michigan made the two-year scholarship offer to Glines valued at $82,000.
The Division I Michigan Wolverines are currently tied with Minnesota for the Big 10 lead at 7-2, ahead of Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio State, Illinois, Michigan State and Northwestern.
"The University of Michigan campus and facilities are world-class and the school has a great tradition in athletics," Glines said. "I'm really excited and looking forward to play there. I hope to start in center field next year."
Yosemite High coach John McMillen said it's nice to see his former player get healthy and play at 100%, referring to his senior-year shoulder injury in football that required surgery and had Glines sit out his first year of college ball.
"We always felt Jackson would get a D-I scholarship out of high school but the injury derailed him at the time," McMillen said. "He now is showing the skills we have always known he had."
McMillen credits Glines' success to the combination of being a naturally gifted athlete and his strong work ethic.
"Jackson puts in the extra effort to be an exceptional player," McMillen said.
On Glines becoming a Wolverine, McMillen said he will be playing against some of the top baseball programs in the country.
"I feel Jackson will not only play next year, but will have great success at that level," McMillen said.
Yosemite High 1995 graduate Cory Miller, who was in minor league baseball for three years in the Oakland A's organization and another four years with the Chicago Cubs as a field coach, is Glines's uncle.
"I can remember when he first played Little League and he would hit a home run almost every time he batted," Miller said. "From those early days, I always felt he had the skills to play major league baseball. The entire family is proud of him -- Getting a scholarship to the University of Michigan is no accident -- Jackson has worked hard to get where he is and we all wish him the best at Michigan."
"Cory has taught me a lot about the game of baseball since I first swung a bat," Glines said. "My mom used to say I started walking so I could swing a bat."
Jackson's younger brother, Harley, a 2012 Yosemite graduate and the best catcher in the NSL, redshirted with the Rams this season and is expected to be in the starting line-up next year.
Jackson and Harley are the sons of Tim Glines of Coarsegold and Victoria Glines of Oakhurst.
Tim played baseball at the College of the Sequoias in Visalia and Fresno State and was drafted by the Mets and the Cardinals, although he never signed.

Every woman must have a mental or physical list of go-to-styles. This can be very handy when you are on the run. If that is your everyday, then Wardrobe Planning can be an excellent solution for you. But let's imagine for a second, that your alarm didn't go off (okay, you turned it off half-asleep) and you have five minutes to get ready.
I recommend having three outfit options for work, 2 for daytime social events and 1 for social events in the evening. This is when, knowing your personal style and having a versatile wardrobe comes into play!
Pick your outfits carefully. Make sure you truly like them and they fit properly. The idea is to try them on once and be happy with them. You don't want to change two or three times when you are in a hurry.
Remember that your lifestyle has everything to do with your clothes. Pick pieces according to your daily routine. This is not about playing fashion stylist and creating outfits you won't wear. You can be creative, but be assertive.
There are two proposals according to my style and type of work (slideshow). Plus some key pieces to put together these outfits. Your options might be slightly different or very different from these options. If you have any questions, let us know.
Take a look at the slideshow!

Bed bug extermination is not a simple task. Bed bugs have overcome all odds, and require extreme measures to eliminate from your home. Thanks to modern innovation, heat has become the number one choice for many pest control companies.
Bed bug heat equipment and extermination does come at a hefty cost to both the professional and the consumer. In this review, a 1,000 sq. ft dwelling area will be used as the base unit of measure. For the pest control company, the cost of a heat treatment system ranges anywhere from $30,000 USD to over $100,000 USD. For the consumer, the cost of a bed bug heat treatment ranges from $1,250 to well above $2,000.
In review: Heat Assault 500x
Company: Tamarack Industries
Country: Canadian designed and manufactured
Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Website: http://heat-assault.com
Overview: Tamarack's Heat Assault is a heat transfer fluid system. Food grade water soluble propylene glycol is pumped from a 135 gallon tank, fed through dual oil fired burner coils, heating the fluid to a possible 210 degrees fahrenheit. Hot fluid is pumped through hoses which connect to heating fans (heat exchangers) in the dwelling. Multiple heat exchangers can be used in the dwelling, allowing for even distribution of heat.
1. Safety: The heat combustion source is located a safe distance outside of the dwelling. Diesel fuel is difficult to ignite; chance of explosion is reduced. Food grade propylene glycol (FDA approved) is safe for pets. In the event of a spill, the glycol fluid is slippery. 4.5 star
2. Heat source: 500,000 BTU/hr dual burner heating source. More than enough heat than required. Precise control of temperature. 5 star
3. Unit reachability: Optional equipment increases the heat assault reach to 30 floors (300ft). The optional equipment does come with increased cost. 5 star
4. Heat loss: Heat loss is minimal. The dwelling can be completely sealed, with no outside airflow required, minimizing if not eliminating all outside draft. 5 star
5. Time to heat: Using a six fan heat exchange configuration, a 1,000 sq. ft dwelling can reach temperatures of up to 140 degrees fahrenheit in less than 40 minutes. 5 star
6. Total heat capacity: Temperatures can reach up to 210 degrees fahrenheit, with extremely accurate control of temperature. 5 star
7. External power requirements: The heat assault 500x is completely self sufficient, with an onboard diesel generator. No consumer electricity required. 5 star
8. Ease of use: Operation of equipment is simple to use, with straightforward panel controls. Hoses and heat exchangers are light to mid weight. 4.5 star
9. Maintenance: Requires licensed and ticketed HVAC specialist. Since this is not the pest control professional's area of expertise. 3.5 star
10. Setup time: A 1,000 sq. ft dwelling requires between 45 minutes to an hour to both setup, and teardown. A significant amount of setup work is required. 3 star
11. Effectiveness: Time-to-heat is minimal, temperature control is precise and the amount of heat produced is more than enough. The Heat Assault 500x is a highly effective treatment option. 4.5 star
12. Bio-friendly: Both diesel and biodiesel can be used. The Heat Assault 500x is a bio-friendly pest control product. 5 star
13. Cost: The Heat Assault system has one of the highest price tags in the industry. However, safely heating an entire home is a significant challenge. Even though the price tag is in the neighbourhood of $100,000 USD, this does not dramatically impact the rating. 3 star
14. Heat Assault 300: The Heat Assault 300 is Tamarack's entry level 300,000 BTU/hr model, reaching 12 floors, with a price tag of $60,000 USD. This model is priced right for many companies wanting to start treating bed bugs with heat. 5 star
The Canadian built Heat Assault receives the highest level of excellence and is a top rated 5 star pest control product. Bed bug exterminators that use this product will be highly successful in their fight against bed bugs.

LCHIP Reports $2.7 Million in Requests for Preservation and Conservation
The Board of Directors of the
"LCHIP is delighted that so many applicants are aware of the availability of funding." says LCHIP Board Chair
The state budget adopted for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (July 2011 – June 2013) does not include any funds for LCHIP grants.
McLear continues: "A recent survey by UNH shows that 97% of
The applications include 40 historic buildings and 11 land conservation projects totaling 4,325 acres. Proposed projects are found in 33 towns and 6 cities and in each of the ten counties of the state. Grant requests range from $1000 to $150,000. The total value of the proposed projects is $26.6 million, a substantial increase over the 1:1 match that LCHIP requires and an indication of the contribution land conservation and historic preservation make to the state and local economies.

Cheerleaders Perform Well at CCA Regionals
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 02/10/2014
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Under the direction of coaches Rebekah and John Woodson, the Bethune-Cookman University cheerleading squad competed over the weekend in the small college co-ed division of the Christian Cheerleaders of America Regionals in Jacksonville, Fla. The tournament took place at University Christian School.
In just their first year at the head of the Wildcats cheer program, Rebekah and John Woodson helped the B-CU cheer team compete in its first event since 2009. The date – February 8, 2014, will forever be remembered for a new era in Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats Cheerleading due to that fact.
In the CCA Regionals, the Wildcats participated in a low-pressure competition, as they competed solely against the score sheet, as opposed to other teams in the divisional field.
A total of 14 team members participated for B-CU, led by team captain Lenisha Smith. Various campus activities forced six members of the Wildcats squad to miss the weekend's action. In a short week, the team pulled together and re-worked its routine, pushing them beyond what they thought possible. The expectations heading into the tournament were simply to perform a clean routing and get better in preparation for the upcoming Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Championships in March.
The Wildcats had a flawless warm-up round, but dropped one side of their 211 Pyramid in the finals. According to Rebekah Woodson, it was something that had never happened previously in practice sessions, and they had performed safe executions out of it. She expressed that it's all you can ask for in that kind of situation.
The competition company gave B-CU a second chance to hit its pyramid, and the Cats did not disappoint in being given the second opportunity.
"It is not often you ever get a second chance," said Rebekah Woodson. "So, we took it in order to show the judges exactly what this team is capable of."
The second chance opportunity paid positive dividends, as the judges awarded the Cats a full-paid bid to CCA Nationals in North Carolina. However, the event is the same weekend as the MEAC Championships in Norfolk, Va. So, B-CU will be unable to attend the CAA Nations, but B-CU was the only HBCU to ever receive a paid bid to the national finals.
Other events entered for the Cats on the day were the jump competition – won by Alexis Oliver, and the fumble competition – won by Tre Bush.
"As coaches, we were proud of the team for pulling together and putting in a lot of extra hours in the gym last week," stated Woodson. "They know what they need to work on for MEAC Championships, and we are sure this will give them the drive they need to succeed in that event."

It astonishes me just how much anything that might pertain to religion bothers non-believers. It seems like it goes beyond non-believers merely disagreeing with christianity beliefs but more about these people becoming enraged over anyone speaking or acting in a way that goes against their own beliefs. I mean, the words 'bless you' really bothered this teacher enough to suspend a student for saying them to another student? What is happening with this world? I am really starting to believe these people are so angry and unsure of themselves, they are ready to lash out at anyone who is happy and confident with themselves. If they can break these people down that brings them satisfaction, so they think! With that being said, it's time for people of faith to unite and stand strong no matter what the cost! A great example of this kind of intolerance and hatred is taking place at full throttle in places like Israel, Syria and Iraq, as well as other Islamic dominated countries. The very thought of what's happening over there is quite frightening, and many Americans try not to think about it, but when they see this kind of behavior taking place in their own country, it becomes a real thing! Let's pray for the future of this country, because it's in dire need of it!

Samsung Galaxy Note launched in the UK
The Galaxy Note – Samsung's huge smartphone, or small tablet (it goes either way) – is now available in the UK.
The Carphone House is holding a launch event right now in Oxford Street, London – however, the device can't be found online at the retailer's website yet. You can find it at Clove, though, which asks £594 (about €690) for an unlocked Galaxy Note.
Phones4U is also selling the Note, but only on Orange contracts – see the available deals here.
The Galaxy Note – which features a 5.3 inch Super AMOLED HD display, and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor – is currently running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but Samsung says an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be available next year.

College Hockey:Wisconsin Season Preview
After scoring 212 goals during its last NCAA Championship season in 2010-11, Wisconsin's offensive output dropped to 103 goals a year ago. Brianna Decker, who tallied a point on more than half of those, is now gone. That doesn't bode well for a return to potency this season.
"The thing that helps us, especially in the early part of the season, is our goaltending situation where we're strong in the nets," coach Mark Johnson said. "We've got some good veteran defensemen coming back. From an offensive standpoint, that go-to person, the Brianna Decker, they've graduated, they've moved on. Hopefully, we'll be able to do things by committee, which, actually, could turn out to be a very positive situation."
The Badgers will need more committee members to emerge, as only three players besides Decker had as many as 20 points. Those three — Madison Packer, Karley Sylvester, and Courtney Burke — are back, but only one other returnee from last year reached double-digit points. Luckily, Brittany Ammerman is healthy after an injury limited her season to three games; Ammerman recorded 30 points as a sophomore.
The situation is far more promising on the other end of the ice for Wisconsin, where senior goaltender Alex Rigsby has already posted 83 career victories.
"They've got the strongest returning goalie probably in the whole country, at least experience wise," Minnesota coach Brad Frost said. "They're extremely tough to score on, and with Rigsby in net, she gives them a great chance."
For Wisconsin to get back to the top spot in the WCHA, it will need improvement from many players. Johnson expects the team to get a boost in that regard as the Badgers begin their second season in their new rink.
"The one advantage this group has had is that we had the LaBahn Arena all summer," he said. "So for the kids that stayed around in summer school, they got a chance to skate all summer during that eight-week summer session. They got a chance to work out. So our base, as far as a conditioning standpoint, a strength standpoint, we're probably ahead of where we were last year at this time."

More new products from the BPM show from Numark - with the Mixtrack and Mixtrack Pro DJ control surface and surface with built in audio interface (Mixtrack Pro), replacing the Total Control. .
We published the story a couple of days ago, when Numark told us it was coming, and judging by its popularity, Numark may well have got this right.
Both units come with Numark's own software but are compatible out of the box with Native Instrument's Traktor, Virtual DJ and PC DJ. Of course, other packages can be controlled using regular MIDI mapping.
The pricing makes this an attractive product for those just getting started in the computer- based DJ field, with the Mixtrack at £129 and the Mixtrack Pro at around (TBC) £200.
Who in the HELL put the master volume fader in the middle of the channel faders? They almost got it perfect. ALMOST.
05-Oct-10 12:27 PM
I guess you could re-map it as its all MIDI?

Colbert Gives de Blasio a Break After 'Bullying' Him on Twitter
He only called him a socialist and compared him to Pontius Pilate.
It might have been a bad idea to ask Stephen Colbert to interview the mayor just minutes after Marvel made a big announcement on the geeky host's show Wednesday night. While Colbert called Mayor Bill de Blasio a socialist and accused him of trying "to bring us back to the '80s — the bad days of the squeegee men and the rampant crime and leg warmers," the interview didn't rise to the level of the mayor's pizza-eating lesson on The Daily Show. De Blasio only came close to being "nailed" when he was asked about the looming LIRR strike. "The Long Island Rail Road is under the jurisdiction of Governor Cuomo," de Blasio said. "He's working very hard to come to a resolution." Colbert summed up his position as "Not my problem!" adding, "Bring me the bowl that Pontius Pilate may wash his hands!"
Colbert booking the mayor on Twitter turned out to be one of the more amusing aspects of the interview, but he suggested in his opening segment that he didn't actually "bully" the mayor into appearing on his show. "I booked the mayor on Twitter!" Colbert declared. "It's my biggest coup since landing Joe Biden on Tinder." He promised that de Blasio would be on "later" and Biden would be on "even later," but for better or worse, that web extra hasn't surfaced.

Educated Texas; West Florida; Patuxent.
Selected by NASA in January 1990, Cockrell became an astronaut in July 1991. He is qualified for assignment as a pilot on future Space Shuttle flight crews. His technical assignments to date include: duties in the Astronaut Office Operations Development Branch, working on landing, rollout, tires and brakes issues; CAPCOM in Mission Control for ascent and entry; Astronaut Office representative for Flight Data File, the numerous books of procedures carried aboard Shuttle flights. He served as Assistant to the Chief of the Astronaut Office for Shuttle operations and hardware, and has served as Chief of the Astronaut Office Operations Development Branch. A veteran of three space flights, he has logged over 906 hours in space. He flew on STS-56 in 1993, STS-69 in 1995, and STS-80 in 1996. Cockrell is currently acting Deputy Chief of the Astronaut Office.
Cockrell flew as a mission specialist on the crew of STS-56, carrying ATLAS-2. During the nine-day mission the crew of Discovery conducted atmospheric and solar studies in order to better understand the effect of solar activity on the Earth's climate and environment. STS-56 launched April 8, 1993, and landed April 17, 1993. Mission duration was 9 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes, 21 seconds.
Cockrell next served as pilot on STS-69, September 7-18, 1995. The primary objective of the mission was the successful deployment and retrieval of a SPARTAN satellite and the Wake Shield Facility (WSF). The WSF is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of using this free-flying experiment to grow semiconductors, high temperature superconductors and other materials using the ultra-high vacuum created behind the spacecraft near the experiment package. Mission duration was 10 days, 20 hours, 28 minutes.
Most recently, Cockrell commanded the STS-80 mission (November 19 to December 7, 1996) aboard Columbia. During the flight the crew deployed and retrieved the Wake Shield Facility (WSF) and the Orbiting Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer (ORFEUS) satellites. The WSF is designed to fly free of the Shuttle, creating a super vacuum in its wake in which to grow thin film wafers for use in semiconductors and other high-tech electrical components. The ORFEUS instruments, mounted on the reusable Shuttle Pallet Satellite, will study the origin and makeup of stars. Mission duration was a record breaking 17 days, 15 hours, 53 minutes.
