While that link might have lots of useful info in it, I'm having trouble taking it seriously with quotes like this right at the beginning:
Although it should have troubled the legislature that the individuals charged with enforcing the
law—prosecutors and law enforcement—opposed the law,7 the dissent
by these groups did not dissuade the Florida Legislature.
I'm going to read through some more of it, but that sounds awfully biased for a law school. Or maybe it shouldn't surprise me at all...Quote:
The NRA's self-interest—sanctioning
the use of deadly force in more circumstances and thereby sanction-
ing the use of firearms in those situations—and heavy involvement in
creating and passing the legislation did not deter the Florida Legislature.

The original recipe calls for white rum, but Spirits columnist Jason Wilson says cachaca gives this punch much richer flavor and more complexity. Don't omit the bitters: They balance the lime juice.
Servings: 8
- Ice
- 16 ounces cachaça
- 5 ounces ruby or tawny port
- 10 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 4 limes)
- 5 ounces simple syrup (see NOTE)
- 20 dashes Angostura bitters
Fill 8 old-fashioned or rocks glasses with ice. Combine the cachaca, port, lime juice, simple syrup and bitters in a pitcher. Add ice, then stir. Strain into the old-fashioned or rocks glasses.
NOTE: To make simple syrup, combine 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a slow rolling boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof container and let cool to room temperature.

i want to buy this, but it says it is for indoor use. 7dbi is pretty good (right?), and i could hook it up to a sma connector pretty easily. could i use this and just coat it in silicon to waterproof it? or are there any better suggestions for antennas? i have a physical real tigerdirect store down the street from me and id like to take advantage of the low prices and the no shipping fees. ideas/suggestions?
No announcement yet.
wifi antenna question
new posts
wifi antenna questionTags: None
im confused. ive seen that site before and i know its good stuff. i ended up at a differnt site anyway and i have a question. why is this 39.99 and this is 14.95? the expensive one is less dbi, but more wattage...? what is this 100 watts about? i didnt think that my little usb wifi adapter would put out any more than like half a watt. why is the 39.99 one better? just a little confused. i wanna know what im buyin
EDIT: what would be better, putting a usb adapter close to the roof and running a very short cable to the antenna on the roof, OR getting a PCI card and running probably 7-10 feet of cable to the antenna on the roof? what would give me better results/distance/speed? distance is what i want most i think.
EDIT AGAIN: while im in the question asking mode. does something like this look legit? would that antenna with this guy work well? i think id need some sort of converting adapter but whatever. would these two together be illegal? thanks
My thoughts
I am also looking into WiFi Antenna's for my car, you don't want a antenna sticking too far from your car (think of old CB whip antenna's) hitting the tops of parking garages, and who knows what else!
you also don't want to use TOO thin a cable inside your car, (the thinner the cable the more signal loss) The "N" style cables are about 3/4" thick and are a PIA to hide in a car, BUT they look like the standard.
MY install; I decided on a 5db Whip (about 6 inches tall) mounted directly into my roof) then a "N" cable from the roof to my computer (under ceiling) then a 6" pigtail from my computer to the N cable.
We will see how it fairs

Spotlight on Ohlone:
Oakland murder inspiration for Madden's film
Ohlone instructor's movie is shown at Oakland festival
By Jillian Sanchez Features editor.
Thursday, October 15, 2009—Reprinted from Monitor.
Back in July of 2009, English teacher Carmen Madden wrote/directed/produced the film, "Everyday Black Man," which won best feature film at the Peachtree Village Film Festival in Atlanta.
"I was ecstatic. I always forget that I'm excited because I'm so nervous."
While Madden has been teaching English for 10 years at Ohlone, film would be her next choice. "I can't explain it. Film is a different avenue for a writer."
"I always knew I would be writing films, never did I plan on producing", said Madden.
The film, was screened at the 8th Annual Oakland Film Festival Monday night, it has had quite the journey. "We shot the movie in 17 days, finished by Labor Day and it took a while editing," said Madden.
By the following July, the film was entered into the Peachtree Film Festival in Atlanta.
The film, set in Oakland, follows main character Moses Stanton, a neighborhood store owner who is just trying to get by while keeping a close eye on his daughter who happens to be so close, yet so far away.
Madden shedded light on the subject of right and wrong and hopes the film will, "promote discussion among groups and have people become more interested in their community."
What was the inspiration that struck Madden? "Chauncey Bailey."
"I knew him. The idea of this story came from the sadness of that." The sadness Madden is referring to is that of the death of Chauncey Bailey, former editor-in-chief of the Oakland Post.
Bailey's death in August 2007 was a violent act of hate due to his reporting efforts in the Oakland area.
Madden, who was friends with Bailey, was inspired by his death to write "Everyday Black Man" with the hopes that people will want to be more proactive in their communities and be open for discussion.
What's next for Madden? "I will continue to do film." Her next film, "Shadow Fight," is aimed at the ever-popular Sundance Film Festival.

A Pinch of Love
Joanne Sher
12/07/2006 / Holidays
Was she ever tired. After a full day of watching six toddlers, Ashley was about ready to collapse.
If the weather had been nicer, it likely would have been a less exhausting, hectic day. Around noon, however, a huge snowstorm blew in, with
harsh winds. This had been a day where everyone had to stay in the house and two-year-olds definitely got restless. It was all she could to do keep them from literally climbing the walls. Fortunately, the storm had cleared, and their parents had been able to get through to pick them up.
Ashley sighed. Unfortunately, her day wasnt over yet. The whole family was coming over tomorrow evening, for Christmas Eve dinner, and she had preparations to make. Cleaning, cooking, wrapping gifts the list seemed endless. Preparing her house for 14 visitors was not her idea of fun.
Whatever possessed me to offer to host Christmas Eve? she grumbled aloud.
Picking up the toys and putting them back in their bins, Ashley wished her mom was still around. She had always hosted this celebration, but with her untimely death last June, it seemed it was now her responsibility. None of her siblings had homes big enough to hold everyone, so she had offered hers.
I need to at least get into the Christmas mood.
Ashley went over to her stereo and found a station with Christmas music, turning it up so she could hear it throughout the house.
She went into her bedroom and grabbed the presents she needed to wrap. They were modest, as it had been a tough year. Listening to the music, however, she smiled. She began singing along to her all-time favorite carol, The Little Drummer Boy.
These gifts, she thought, came from my heart, regardless of how much I spent on them.. Baby Jesus received precious, expensive, valuable gifts, but he smiled at a song, which cost nothing.
Finishing up her wrapping, she headed for the kitchen. The rest of the family was bringing much of the food her only responsibility was the pies. As she worked, she sighed.
Im so tired of baking I just did it for a party, and now here I go again!
Begrudgingly, she worked on the pie filling as the oven preheated. Glancing over at the pecan pie recipe, she saw a note her mother had scribbled on the side.
Dont forget to glaze the pecans, and to toss in a pinch of love.
Ashley laughed. Only HER mother would write something like that. When shed made the pie last year, mom had come over and whispered to her the error in her pie-making ways. Ashley had been pretty grumpy, wallowing in self-pity when she found out for a few minutes, anyway. Mom must have dug out the recipe at some point when she was visiting and scribbled the note on.
Mom was definitely not a writer Ashley had precious few examples of her handwriting. This recipe, she decided, would be a treasure for her forever. This could have been the last thing her mother had ever written. It was certainly the most precious to Ashley.
As she put the pie into the oven pecans glazed and pinch of love added preparations seemed somehow less daunting. Mother was definitely here helping her along, and she could tell it was going to be a merry, blessed Christmas.

Barrington teenager ticketed after cracking up his parents' Mercedes
First it was a hit and run. Then it was something else.
Barrington police responded to an alleged hit-and-run accident on Christine Drive at about 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, but eventually ended up ticketing a local teenage boy for driving without a license.
Police said the boy first told them his parents' car — a black Mercedes — was parked in the driveway when a red Chevy Avalanche struck it and then fled from the scene. The local boy said the car headed north on Sowams Road; he added that he was unable to see the license plate number.
A short while after sharing this information, the boy changed his story. The boy, who was home alone while his parents were on vacation in Florida, said he was driving his mother's car — he said he was giving a friend a ride home — when he struck a tree.
He was not injured, but he was ticketed.

Three high-profile student transportation incidents in recent months should have Calcasieu Parish parents worried — and should have school officials scrambling for responsible remedies:
• On Monday morning, State Police arrested a substitute bus driver, speeding and weaving on La. 27, for drunken driving, minutes after he completed his bus routes transporting 49 Calcasieu schoolchildren. The driver's level of intoxication was measured at more than twice the legal limit, 0.211.
• In December, a day-care bus drove away from a Calcasieu elementary school with a 6-year-old child who was not supposed to be on the vehicle. Four frenzied hours later, the child was returned to his worried parents. The school has amended how it oversees children awaiting buses home.
• In October, a Calcasieu bus driver, acting at the direction of the dance team sponsor, left behind — and alone — a Washington-Marion High freshman at Walmart in Lake Charles. The dance team sponsor had had a harsh exchange with the student. School officials say they took action, but refused to say how publicly.
In the latter two cases, a single child was imperiled or might have been imperiled when representatives of the schools either left or lost them. That's risky enough.
In this week's incident, though, the health and safety of more than four dozen students were at stake. Parents should expect the school system to show great interest in making sure the incident is not repeated.
First, on the face of things, the schools are not necessarily at fault in this latest incident. Substitute driver Matthew Oliver Richard, 26, was hired temporarily while the school system awaited results of his background check. That's OK, according to state law and school system policy.
But plenty did go wrong, no matter who is to blame. Forty-nine schoolchildren under 12 were left in the care of an apparently impaired man, and the results of his background check might have sounded a clear warning to school officials before they handed Richard the keys to a bus.
Calcasieu School Board chairman R.L. Webb knows how close this call was. "We were lucky that he was able to unload those children before he created a real problem, such as wrecking the bus," Webb said. He is right. A drunken driver with 49 passengers makes for a deadly mix.
Webb said he would try to meet with Calcasieu Superintendent Wayne Savoy today to discuss school policy. Good idea.
Webb said he would like to see background checks completed before potential employees begin work. That's a very good idea. In this case, Calcasieu board policy should be more stringent than state law.
Worried Calcasieu parents should have some questions about this incident. School officials should find the right answers.

Ephedrine is a central nervous system stimulant used to treat breathing problems (as a bronchodilator), nasal congestion (as a decongestant), low blood pressure problems (orthostatic hypotension), or myasthenia gravis. Ephedrine is also used to treat narcolepsy, menstrual problems (dysmenorrhea), or urine-control problems. Ephedrine is available in generic form. Common side effects of Ephedrine usually occur with larger doses and include:
- nervousness,
- anxiety,
- dizziness,
- spinning sensation (vertigo),
- headache,
- nausea,
- loss of appetite,
- trouble sleeping (insomnia),
- fast heart rate,
- palpitations,
- sweating,
- vomiting,
- weight loss, and
- difficult or painful urination.
The dosage of Ephedrine is based on the patient's medical condition and response to therapy. For prescription Ephedrine, do not exceed 150 mg per day in adults or 75 mg per day in children. Ephedrine may interact with other adrenalin-like drugs, MAO inhibitors, beta-blockers, blood pressure medicine, tricyclic antidepressants, diuretics (water pills), digoxin, atropine, theophylline, oxytocin, or St John's wort. Tell your doctor all medications you are taking. Ephedrine should be used only when prescribed during pregnancy. It is not known whether this drug passes into breast milk. Due to the potential risk to the infant, breastfeeding while using this drug is not recommended.
Our Ephedrine Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication.

ADA Guidelines for Creating Accessible Web Pages
Web pages must be developed in order to be read by all users, including those with disabilities. While this is a requirement of the Americans with Disabilities Act, it's also good practice. Barriers to access can easily and unintentionally be built in when designing a page, and limit readership. Readers with disabilities may be using adaptive software to access sites. However, adaptive software will be effective only if sites are developed according to access guidelines. For a free evaluation of the accessibility of a web page try the tool, A-Prompt
Web authors can use A-Prompt to make their Web pages accessible to people with disabilities. This software tool examines Web pages for barriers to accessibility, performs automatic repairs when possible, and assists the author in manual repairs when necessary. The enhanced Web pages are then available to a larger Internet audience.

The Detroit Film Theatre's summer season begins with one of the most important cinematic events in the DFT's history: the complete restoration to date of German director Fritz Lang's 1927 science-fiction classic, Metropolis. Lang's visionary work of science fiction redefined the term "super-production," with its thousands of extras, monstrous sets, and eye-popping special effects, including a cataclysmic, multitude-engulfing flood. This legendary work was previously seen as Lang conceived it only by the very earliest Berlin audiences ("positively overwhelming," raved Variety after the 1927 premiere) — and then the cutting began, followed by decades of attempts at reconstruction. A 1984 version ran only 87 minutes, while the then-"definitive" 2002 reconstruction edged up the running time to 124 minutes. Finally, in 2008, the Museo del Cine in Buenos Aires came across a print that had been in an Argentinean private collection since 1928. At a private screening in Berlin, "the room got very quiet," as the select audience witnessed over a thousand shots that were thought lost — bringing the running time to 153 minutes and virtually matching the original shooting script and musical cues. This astounding new version — after considerable restoration work on the well-worn archival print — has been combined with the visually superb 2002 restoration. Presented with the original 1927 orchestral score and projected in a high-definition format, audiences can, at long last, experience Lang's original Metropolis as the director intended it to be seen.

Hello lovely See Jane readers! Krystal from This Time Tomorrow here. When Ms. Anna asked me to keep her seat warm while she and her husband enjoy newlywed bliss in Bali (let's all take a moment of jealousy here!) I jumped at the opportunity. It's always warms my heart to see two people so happy together and I wish them both a wonderful time as they official kick off their marriage!
As for myself, I'm enjoying (yes, enjoying) yet another bipolar weather shift here in San Francisco. While most other parts of the country are sweltering from mid-August heat, I've already started vamping up my fall wardrobe because, well, San Francisco summer is nonexistent. For this outfit in particular, I'm excited to start incorporating the bright pops of color I've accumulated over the summer for colorblocking and now wearing them with fall neutrals. These chartreuse Miu Mius are a perfect example to pack some punch to an otherwise black, white and camel outfit. (And let's not forget the secret weapon: poppy orange lipstick! Can't leave the house without it!)
Outfit details:
Jacket: c/o ModCloth
Blouse: Ann Taylor, thrifted
Pants: Zara
Shoes: Miu Miu
Bag: Forever 21
Watch: Michael Kors
Jewelry: Bee Charming necklace, J. Crew chain bracelet
What trends are you looking forward to the most for fall?

We had a great stay, the cold weather came in late Saturday and we were gone by 3pm on Saturday. It wasn't too cold on the Friday night. We are very happy with the venue it worked very well for us. The meals were great, the food was fresh, tasty and the quantities appropriate. The staff were friendly, and helpful. We used the main eating area for both meals and our group meetings. This was fine as we only needed 1/2 the available space for each, and no-one else was using the dinning area. In all we were very happy with everything from the weekend, and look forward to our next one in September.
Good morning Jade, Many thanks for a great weekend to you and your team a few weeks ago. We had 4 members on Saturday and other one turned up Sunday morning for 1/2 day. We spent quite a few hours on the dam exploring and enjoyed the hot showers and chit chat around the fire. What a great spot, the caretaker took the time to give me a walk around so we knew where everything was.....fantastic. Facilities were exceptional, well done to the camp staff. We will certainly book again. Mark Lawrie Chairman QBWASF Queensland Branch Water Activity Scout Fellowship Assistant Adventurous Activity Leader Benarrawa District
I LOVED the food it was amazing - yummy!!!! I loved the teamwork because it helped us to have good chats about how to workout problems. Imelda
You helped me learn how to build my skills in co-operation, agility, strength and helped me to build a logical mind. In the end I didn't want to go I had had so much fin and got used to the wonderful environment, I could have stayed another two weeks.
I am extremely grateful for my amazing experience at Camp QLD. I now have many inspiring memories that will benefit me in the future. I have achieved things that I never would have without camp. I have learnt to respect other peoples decision and not be selfish I would like to thank you form making this the best camp ever!

Last month I looked at the Teufel Concept E400 speaker set, which offered a complete surround sound solution on a budget. Today I'm looking at a similar system from Onkyo. The Onkyo HTX-22HD is, in fact a 2.1-channel system, but the optional SKS11 pack brings it up to full 5.1-channel status, and both parts of the puzzle still come in at under £400.
The big difference between this Onkyo system and the Teufel one, is that there is no need for a separate surround sound processor this time around. Onkyo has built a pretty feature rich processor into the active subwoofer. In fact the connection options and codec support offered by the Onkyo HTX22HD are more impressive than those seen on the Teufel Decoder Station 5.
The big news is that the HTX-22HD is equipped to handle the latest lossless surround sound formats found on Blu-ray discs. Unsurprisingly that means you'll find some HDMI 1.3 ports at the rear of the subwoofer - three to be exact, two inputs and one output. You also get two optical digital inputs and one coaxial, allowing you to connect up to five digital sources. Even if your equipment has HDMI connectivity you still may need the optical inputs, since devices like the Sky HD box and Xbox 360 don't output multi-channel audio over HDMI. You also get two sets of stereo inputs, in case you want to hook up something without a digital audio output.
So, the HTX-22HD has the right connections to accommodate pretty much any surround sound codec, but how does its support list look? The answer to that question is simple - very good indeed. The highlights are undoubtedly Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio, meaning that you'll be able to take advantage of the very best sound mixes on Blu-ray discs. As well as the lossless formats you also get Dolby Digital Plus, standard Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS Surround Sensation, Dolby Pro Logic II and a plethora of other DSP and virtual surround modes.
If Onkyo is trying to convince the average consumer of the benefits of surround sound, it needs to make installation as easy as possible, and thankfully that's exactly what it has done. Never before have I seen a speaker package that's so easy to install, and comes with pretty much everything you're likely to need in the box. As well as the subwoofer and five satellites, you get a remote control with batteries, a power cable, an optical digital audio cable and, most importantly, an HDMI cable. Of course Onkyo is assuming that you'll already have HDMI cables for your source devices, which is fair enough.
Why didn't this exist two years ago when I bought my A/V Receiver?! I looked everywhere for one integrated into the subwoofer so I wouldn't have Yet Another Huge Ugly Box under the TV.
Nice review Riyad, a small point regarding the xbox 360 not allowing multi-channel audio over HDMI.
I recently tested this into my Onkyo 607 (with an aim to losing the component&optical combo) and the amp picked up the 5.1 DD sound played through both DVD's and games.
I know the HDMI socket on the xbox isn't 1.3 but I thought this was only in relation to the HD codecs?
Please correct me if I'm wrong lol.
I've had this Sub/amp/surround sound wunder machine for the past 12 months or so, and I back up EVERYTHING mentioned in the review. Absolutely superb unit and awesome value for money.
P.S. it really can go bloody loud!
Hmm, I think it's time to empty the piggy bank. Might just go for the 2.1 system for starters, but the upgradability is a neat thing to have.
This system has been around for a while. I was looking to buy it in January, should have done then as the price has gone up by nearly £100 since then. There was a problem reported with the system about "buzzing" noise when using a PS3, something to do with the Audyssey software, it should have been fixed by now but you should double check.
Would this work connecting from the optical out of an airport express to stream sound from DVD's to 5.1??
Other software is VLC, and airfoil to transmit sound from a Macbook.
Thanks for any help, this looks great and would love to get one if it will work!!
Does this unit have to be placed upright (as pictured) - or can it be laid on its' side to fit the handy gap I have left in my glass stand under my TV?
I bought this system some time ago and can agree that it's very nice when coming from average PC speakers. I use it for PC via optical, plus console games and dvds/blu-ray on my PS3 via HDMI. The 360 works with Dolby Surround this way, though neither console will do HD multi-channel audio (ie. TrueHD) via HDMI.
The buzzing issue it had did effect me though only with my xbox360 not with my PS3. It was sent off and fixed without any problems or cost to me involved.
The manual states not to use the sub/decoder in horizontal position, though even if you could it would make the display harder to read.
How does this compare against the LG HB954PB 5.1 which was reviewed not too long ago as a home cinema setup (TV - HD/SD, PS3). Or is it me comparing apples to oranges? Bare with me, am not too well versed in the sound system side of things. =s
My room is relatively small (10mx6m) and am currently using my pc speakers for the tv (logitech z5500).
Thanks for your feedback Akhamar - regarding horizontal placement - not too worried about the display - but guess the unit is designed to dissipate heat vertically.
@John - I can guarantee that the Xbox 360 did not output anything but two channel audio through HDMI when I set mine up, although I have heard rumours that this was addressed in a firmware update since then. I'm not pulling all my kit out and changing cables on the off chance though.
You're only talking about Dolby Digital and DTS anyway, which work fine over Optical. As you rightly point out, it's only the lossless codecs that require an HDMI 1.3 compliant port.
@Akhamar - Your PS3 will output Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio over HDMI, but since the decoding is happening inside the console, the sound is output as multi-channel PCM. That means that your amp will not tell you it's decoding TrueHD or HD MA because it's not.
Basically the PS3 can't output the bitstreams for the lossless codecs, but it can decode them itself and output uncompressed PCM to your amp. You don't lose any quality this way, and it also means that your amp doesn't need to support the latest codecs for you to be able to listen to them.
Just make sure that the HDMI digital audio output on your PS3 is set to PCM and not Bitstream.
@Bailey's Coffee - Even if you take the display out of the equation, you don't want a subwoofer living on a glass shelf, it really needs to be on the floor to get the full effect.
Hi All,
My question is this if I use this system with PS3, in order to get 5.1 DDS/DTS and 5.1/7.1 HD DDS/DTS all I have to do is to connect via HDMI and set LPCM (not Bitstream). Anythings else i.e. what codecs has to be selected in HDMI settings (just leave it Automatic or ...) I need?
where do you get the added speakers?
the review says - "As well as the subwoofer and five satellites, you get a remote control with batteries, a power cable, an optical digital audio cable and, most importantly, an HDMI cable." - Am i being thick, or is there no HDMI cable included as mentioned in review? Am gutted as was planning to play some blurays tonight through my ps3...sad times.
Hi I would like to use something like this with my WD TV Live streamer to stream blu ray backups with HD audio. What I'd like to know is, if I can pass through the HD audio signal i.e. TrueHD/DTS-HD would this decode it and output the sound? Would this need to be bitstream? (not that I know what that really is, bit of a newbie). My problem with dedicated receivers has been that, when wanting to downmix hd audio to say 5.1, they rely on the source player to decode and format the signal to 5.1 for the receiver to the ouput to the speakers. Can the Onkyo receiver a rae TrueHD signal, decode it and downmix it for output over its five channels? Without the streamer having to do any decoding? If so I think this is exactly what I'm looking for. Cheers.

4 Retail Tricks That Can Make You Spend More
Check out these four tricks used to get you to spend more (without you knowing it).
EntreLeadership is not just a theory. Thousands of business owners and leaders are using Dave's principles every day to take their companies and team members to heights they never imagined. In the EntreLeadership Spotlight series, we'll be highlighting some of these great leaders and learning about their dreams, motivation and secrets to success.
I am the owner of Carver Door Company in Winfield, Alabama. We provide cabinet doors, cabinet components and mouldings to cabinet makers and distributors.
Intellectual humility: knowing there is more that you will never know than you will ever know.
Local experts you can trust.Find an ELP
Be thankful, because chaos is the best time for a leader to emerge. Having said that, I wasn't very thankful when our business was fighting chaotic times. We eventually broke through, but it would have been much earlier had I given myself that advice back then.
I never had or created that opportunity for a mentor, and I consider that one of my greatest mistakes. A mentor could have helped shave off many years of learning things the hard way. Books, blogs, podcasts, seminars and conferences are my mentors now. I believe that if you have the desire to learn, you will have no shortage of teachers in your life.
Leadership is simple. Care for your team and serve them. Your job is to make your team successful, professionally and personally. Connect with them, empower them, and encourage your team straight into success! Think about leadership like this: Nobody wants to hear the conductor. It's the symphony they want to hear!
Our team is made up of talented, dedicated, hard-working individuals, and we are hungry for more of them. We are constantly looking for the next awesome person to join our team. But, we take our time. Our team deserves to work with equals, and we've made a commitment to not giving them any less.
Faith and family are my greatest passions. My next three are:
Leaders don't have to know everything about operations, accounting or marketing, but we do need to know enough to ask questions that lead to better answers. The quality of our questions will determine the quality of our answers.
In this business, we've earned our lessons, and they are a part of us moving forward. I believe we've done exactly as we were supposed to do to become who we are supposed to be as a company. However, we would have become "us" sooner if I would have just become "me" earlier. It's never too late to be who you might have been.

KEY LARGO -- In the summer of 2007, the office of then-Monroe County State Attorney Mark Kohl raided three penny arcades in Key West and later ordered them to remove their slot machine-style video games or face arrest.
Two years later, as the recent opening of Vegas Fun of Key Largo in Tradewinds Plaza attests, such adult amusement centers are back in business. And new State Attorney Dennis Ward says his opinion is they're legal.
"There is case law. They've won in court," Ward said last week.
Vegas Fun of Key Largo opened its doors at the beginning of October. It's one of Florida's 200-plus penny arcades, or pseudo-slot machine halls, that pay customers in prizes and gift cards rather than cash, according to the Florida Arcade Association.
On a recent Wednesday afternoon a handful of customers were seated at what the arcade calls its 60 "skilled slot machines" when an exulted scream resonated from a machine near the doorway.
"I won 700 points," a young woman shouted -- the equivalent of $7 worth of prize credits.
"It gets pretty exciting," said Rich Shaf, co-owner of the Tradewinds Plaza arcade. "Everybody pulls for each other."
Vegas Fun wasn't the first such penny arcade to open since Ward came into office last January.
Early this year, Stick and Stein Sports Rock Café in Key West, which was one of the businesses Kohl's office cracked down on in 2007, brought their adult arcade games back, owner Steve Degraves said.
Another such slot-style arcade recently closed down in central Marathon, only to be replaced by a new one named Calling All Winners.
Adult arcades like Vegas Fun operate under what's known as Florida's "Chuck E. Cheese Statute," which stipulates that video games may offer pay outs of up to 75 cents per game, but only if they are deemed to be games of skill, not chance, and payments don't come in the form of cash or alcohol.
The element of skill, says Shaf, comes in knowing the patterns of the machines. Unlike full-scale slots, where players start a spin and then have no control over when the reels stop, players on Vegas Fun's arcade games stop each reel of symbols one at a time. Between spins they also have the opportunity to hold onto certain symbols and discard others.
That selection process, says Florida Arcade Association President Gale Fontaine, is where the real skill comes in. Experienced players know to hold certain combinations of symbols that frequently lead to jackpots.
In 2006 Fontaine successfully argued her case in front of a Broward County jury, which found that her Tropicana Rec Room in Pompano Beach was not a gambling hall and that her arcade games were not slot machines.
The decision was considered a landmark one in Florida's adult arcade industry. A Sarasota County jury made the same decision in a similar case the following year.
Bob Jarvis, a Nova Southeastern University Law Center professor who monitors the gambling industry, says that, legally speaking, it's well established that slot machine-style arcade machines can be games of skill. The problem, he says, is that games can also be set up in such a way that no skill is involved.
"Looking at a machine, you have no way to know whether it is a game of skill or a game of chance," he said.
That's where the opening is for law enforcement agencies that want to take a shot at shutting them down, Jarvis said.
In 2007, the Monroe County State Attorney's Office conducted its raids only after complaints came from Key West code compliance.
But these days, with the economy in turmoil and taxpaying businesses viewed as salvation, there's typically no such political will.
"The public has become much more tolerant about gambling," Jarvis said. "When that happens prosecutors take less interest. Survey after survey shows people don't really care about gambling."
For his part, Ward says that under his watch authorities won't crack down on adult arcades unless the Florida Legislature tightens up its law.
Meanwhile, back at Vegas Fun of Key Largo, Shaf says winners will get paid in credit cards, which they can use to buy goods at stores. But he demurs when asked if he thinks his new operation might benefit from the recent closure of the SunCruz casino, which had operated out of Holiday Inn less than two miles south of his storefront.
"They're a form of entertainment. A movie theater is a form of entertainment. We're a form of entertainment," Shaf said.

Poem by: Charlax
Status: Finished
Genre: Historical Fiction
Iff eye had a concrete plan it has failed to solidify.
Unless myself did have a brick in hand it hardened not.
Back when I had the solid rock it fell away eye kept it not.
When the solid of life has come it slims to none.
After we have ate the bread it softens some.
Batty Bake Batty bake in the pan.
During the discourse of the entire impediment of life the ingredients the very DNA were missing links.
Cold slabs of hardened steel under softer blankets wool.
Sustenance is never found in jail.
Bread fries on angel wings of grace in the hot Deseret sun. When the bread fries the angel singes with his wings. When the bread fries the angel sings about the bread and gives. Bread is life a single dollar bill given in haste and torn in half life is not the dollar given then but bread found scrounged fallen from the angel's wings into mye dumpsters then no dollar amount written in the till we meet again. What is expert knowledge but someone's intuitive folly why does it have to be book learned to be a hit. Most good ideas come unbidden to the poets feast his fest turned smitten to the dollar sign. Mye bread will fry.

This reading activity helps students develop positive self-esteem while remaining sensitive and empathetic to the identity expression of their peers.
Helping students develop positive self-esteem and confidence includes showing them how to be sensitive and empathetic to the identity expression of their peers. The following activity is one way to foster this growth in children.
In The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi, a little girl named Unhei travels to the United States from Korea. She is in search of an American name. The children in her class suggest names by placing them in a jar.
If you have a relevant personal story, you may want to share it before starting the activity. For instance, I tell my students that I used to work in a school district with many Vietnamese students. As they enrolled, the office staff gave them names like Bob, Steve, John or Mary. We discuss how this might have made these Vietnamese students feel. We talk about whether there are any advantages to changing students' names and why doing so could have a negative impact.
Next, read and discuss the story with your students. Flip the idea a little bit so students can see how it feels to have a name forced upon them. Ask students to contribute two or three names from their respective cultures; try not to include names of students in the class. Place the names in a "Name Jar." Then, ask volunteers to choose new names that they will use for the remainder of the day.
This may be an uncomfortable exercise. In the process, some students may refuse to forfeit their birth names. Other students may giggle and joke about the chance to rename themselves, but they will quickly feel the effect of losing the identities created by their real names.
This activity teaches empathy. Ultimately, students should understand why, in The Name Jar, Unhei decides to keep her given name. They should also understand that part of who they are as individuals is defined by how they are called.

This activity addresses the following standards using the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi I'm new to this site and it is great - there's so many good tips here!
Anyway I've been running for the first time ever (not including school and football), and I'm proud of my running time: 3 miles in 30 minutes. So that's 6 mph/1 mile every 10 minutes, I was running and when I got tired I started to walk, but I've never felt better - it was great.
Is this OK if I walk when I get out of breath, even though I'm a beginner to this?
My goal is to join the Parachute Regiment in the British Army, I'm 15 (one month left till I'm 16) so I have 2 years left to join as an officer. I want my 1.5 mile time to be sub 9 minutes. Is this possible, to get from a 1.5 mle time of 15 minutes to a 1.5 mile time of sub 9 minutes in 2 years?
I've ran one day this week and I'm going to run 2 more this week, because my legs were hurting today and I want to be fully recovered when running. Is this fine? But after the first 2 weeks I'll raise 3 days running to 5 days.
I'm running 3 miles on all three days, could you please tell me any more routines especially those that would help me join the Parachute Regiment.
Thank you, Akshay.
Hey Ashkay
Good stuff. I joined the Infantry at 16 and I done under 9 mins for that although if I remember rightly I think we had to so sub 10.30. Don't forget to give the beep test a go now and again because thats an important one. Also on the day when you come to do your 1 1/2 mile test you would have run a swift ish 1 1/2 miles already. So really in your training you want to do a quick 1 1/2 then give it 2 minutes and go for your best 1 1/2. They will do it on a relatively flat course too which is a bonus.
The main thing is you have a very long time to train for this so do not over do it. Take it easy and get into slowly.
Try the link above aswell because you cannot neglect your sit ups and push ups and the likes. Plus it's pretty easy to follow and tried and tested.
Good luck. Knuckle down at school keep your fitness up and the only thing you will need to worry about is the mental side of it
welcome Akshay, well done on your run. I'd echo everything The Vicar said (sound advice from someone who's been there). At your age you'll improve well if you can fight the urge to run too fast too soon. I'd focus on your aerobic fitness, by making running a regular part of your life, almost a habit if you like. Make not-running the exception. Also, if you enjoy other sports, like footy, then continue with that too, it's important at your age to enjoy the activities your doing as well as having goals.
Keep us updated on how you're progressing, you'll find lots of people on here who are happy to give your the benefit of their experiences, and hopefully help you avoid some of the mistakes we've made. Good luck.
Thank you!
I ran today and there was a sharp pain at the bottom of my leg, from my ankles (which where also hurting a little bit) to just below my knee. It stopped me from running an extra mile, and later on to the end of my session it started to hurt on the side of the area as well.
Then when I stopped to walk it hurt similar to a headache, it was a sudden sharp-numb kind of pain and it hurt so much that I actually said "ouch". I stopped running because I thought to myself that I don't want to injure myself. My legs could have been tired as I slowed down so I could run longer.
My running shoes are the Nike Air Citius 2, but I've never experienced this sort of pain before. Do you think it could be my running shoes?
I have a poor running form I land flat on my feet , I don't know any other way to run! Can you please tell me how to run properly?
I run on slabbed pavements, so I run on a hard surface. I'm worried that I have shin splints as I was really getting into running, I was enjoying it!
If I do have shin splints how long will it take me to recover, hopefully a few days?
Or do you think it could be fatigue?
If I do have shine splints would rowing and swimming be good cardio activities?
Thank, Akshay.
Wishing you well always
after a few days rest though... I think doing some rowing is a good cardio exercise, without the impact on the shins. I've found that kept me fit whilst shins recover.
Jason Wintin wrote (see)
Akshay akshay akshay! Sounds to me like your doing too much too soon. Take it easy you've got plenty of time and your body's going to need plenty too.
Also sounds like the dreaded splints??
i had them, they hurt for days best bet is to rest you legs for the time being they've taken a bit of a beating in my opinion.
Don't let this put you off though as running is soooo enjoyable when it feels good.
My advice would be to carry out the run/walk strategy when the legs stop hurting.
Cardios cardio at the end of the day so rowing cycling swimming etc is all good for you.
You haven't mentioned anything about stretching?? Or a warm up/cool down, these are crucial for stopping any unwanted injuries.
Just remember your body's going to take time to adjust
Hope this helps you akshay
Thank you.
I don't stretch and I don't warm up or cool down, I'm going to start doing all those things though.
How long did your shin splints last for?
I want mine gone in a week, I was enjoying running as well.
When I'm 16 I'm going to join a gym to run on a treadmill, because the road is a hard surface.
if you build up slowly and steadily, and run most of your miles at a very easy pace (easy enough that you can have a conversation with someone) then you'll build strength in your legs and avoid injury running on the road, and you can save yourself a few quid on gym membership and buy yourself something fun instead.
I just hope the pain goes soon, should I run tomorow the pain was on monday or should I wait longer?
I ran today and I felt much better, the only pain in my legs was from fatigue not the sharp pain like before. I could run longer today by slowing down my pace and I stretched before and after, and I done a small warmup as well.
I felt more lively, so I'll carry on doing warm ups, stretches etc
Thanks for your help!
no probs, remember to take it easy on the pace at this stage. just getting fitter will speed you up, you rarely need to go flat out when you're training.

This animation shows the "family feud" that researchers now believe left the Upsilon Andromedae planetary system in its current, somewhat disturbed state. In the beginning, we see three huge Jupiter-like planets orbiting the star in roughly circular orbits. (Not shown here is a fourth planet that orbits very, very close to the star.) But for some reason--because of friction with interplanetary dust, for example - the outer planet has wandered in too close to its sibling in the middle. The result is a kind of rhythmic shoving match, as the two planets' mutual gravitational attraction starts to knock their orbits askew with each close encounter. Matters escalate - and in fairly short order, the offending planet is ejected from the planetary system completely. The middle planet now takes its place the outer planet, and settles into an extended, elliptical orbit much different from the one it started with. In the millennia to come, its gravitational influence will pull the third planet into an elliptical orbit, as well.

Okay, so no one's going to argue that it's not still great to be a senior partner at a mega-buyout firm, even with all the government meddling, angry or indifferent LPs, high purchase price multiples and limited exit opportunities.
After all, the worst case scenarios that were kicked around just a few short years ago – scary ones like chain reaction portfolio company implosions, lenders not willing to be seen in public with you let alone return your calls, or investors abandoning the asset class completely – never really came to pass. And you've still got more money than anyone without an Ivy League MBA would know what to do with, are on the guest list for all the right parties and charitable boards, and (most of) you haven't been deposed in front of Congress.
Still, it does seem like a bit of the bloom has come off the rose. Rich in today's mega-buyout circles isn't quite what rich was a few short years ago (even the lawyers seem to be feeling the pinch). The sparkling reputations of the top firms have started to get just a wee bit tarnished. The little guys you used to laugh at not too long ago are walking a whole lot taller. You just don't feel as invincible as maybe you did a couple years back.
It's enough to make anyone feel just a wee bit hostile.

Hi to all im scott but evryones calls me muldoon,new here so bear with with.just took up running and enjoying it immensly,used to play alot of squash .footy and gym but now in my early 40s and consider myself ok fitness wise,checked out the training plans and really unsure how to go about it tried the run n walk but just doesnt do it for me so have been running for approx 20/25 mins at jog pace i spose,,any tips about where i need to go from here maybe looking at doing some 5k/10k next year so just wondered if anyone had any tips,all greatly appreciated,many thx
Muldoon, good to hear from you, and congrats on getting the running bug.
Keep doing your regular running. All I'd add in initially is some hill work, or sprints if you don't have hills. This is good to build up stamina and recovery speed. Prob once a week try one of your runs at a faster than jog speed.
How to do it all is a very personal thing, and like you most running plans just don't work for me.
One piece of advice I was given some time ago which can be helpful is don't run to distance but to time. So instead of going for 3 miles, go for 30 mins. Depending how competitive you are it can help you to stop trying to go faster every time and gt some quality training in.
Hope some of that helps.
My key thing is to book a race in to aim for. Keeps me focussed.
Mr B thx for that ,yes will have to go for sprints rather than hills as in a city so very flat,,when do you think it is good to start increasing time or mileage ,just dont want to be become too bored with it ,spose best way is to book a race in the future i guess n take it from there.
Hi Muldoon, there has been some good advice from the guys here and you will find some good resources on this site to help you. Personally I set out a plan for the week, but be prepared to be flexible on this. I usually chose a time or distance for each run and stick to it. This depends on how I feel or when my next race is. So when you feel good you don't go mad and over do it & when you're feeling tired you can push yourself. Just choose what suits you and have fun, Good luck
Thx guys taking it all on board,trying to sort thru the training which will become useful,,the technical stuff can wait about times per mile etc and see where we go.
muldoon: I suggest you should go online and see if you have a local parkrun - they're 5 K (3.1 mile) runs held every Saturday at parks all round the UK, 9am (9.30 am in Scotland). You register once online, print your ID barcode, then turn up at any parkrun (take your barcode!). They're free, timed, friendly and great fun, suitable for all ages and all abilities. It's a great way to give yourself a challenge and avoid getting bored without trying to do too much too soon. My local parkrun is two laps and many people do one lap initially if they're just starting running or are returning after injury. We have all ages from 7 to 70+ and all abilities from fast club runners to people walk/jogging in 45 minutes or more.
Thx Debra will def do that as it shoulds ideal for me ,is there a website for it?Sounds a great way to get introduced no time to join running clubs etc as i cant commet to anything due to work etc but many thx.
http://www.parkrun.org.uk/ - gives you all the info about events, and you can register from there (you have to go through a couple of screens, fill in some basic details). Enjoy!
Many thx again

carb question
I am running a sbc 350, roller cam 227@50 single pattern cam, .565 lift on a 108LSA. The heads are after market vortec - engine quest lightning -180 intake runner with a 1.94 intake valve. Eddy rpm air gap and 9.9:1 compression. Motor in a 68 camaro with 3.90 gears, 26.5 tall tires, 2,500 stall, 700r4 with a 3.06 1st gear. Car is used on the weekends, street action etc. not a track car.
Car has a holley street hp 650 DP and runs well. I did not want to over carb the car. The carb has straight leg boosters in it. No hesitation, takes off well, no lugging etc. I borrowed a friends old carb which he put a profrom main body on it so it is a 750 DP with downleg boosters. With friends carb, my car had a better signal at idle, and the power from a roll at 2,000 rpm was unreal. When the secondaries opened up it was violent and would push me back in the seat. The car had much more power when the secondaries opened with the 750 downleg boosters than my 650 with straight leg boosters. I was thinking of getting the proform main body to convert my carb or a holley main body with downleg boosters. Question - go with a 750 main body conversion with downleg or maybe annular and get even more power? I know it was a long post. Thanks in advance for the help.
750 out of the box is a great choice.If you are good with carbs,put an 850 base plate on your 650. This is a real screamer.
Ive also used 4781-2 on a 350,thats an 850 double pumper,it also works well but has a tendency to make you upgrade other parts and go a lot faster

Someone is walking toward us—suddenly we freeze. Not only do we freeze ourselves, but we also freeze the space in which the person is walking toward us. We call him "friend" who is walking through this space or "enemy." Thus the person is automatically walking through a frozen situation of fixed ideas—"this is that" or "this is not that." This is what Buddha called "wrong view." It is a conceptualized view which is imperfect because we do not see the situation as it is.

BBC Review
Career retrospective for enduring R&B legend, available as no-filler disc or four-CD set.
Stevie Chick 2010
It was Steve Winwood's bluesy holler – weathered beyond his tender years and sounding like he hailed from Birmingham, Alabama rather than Birmingham, England – that gave The Spencer Davis Group the edge over all the other British Invasion groups plying sweaty, R&B-indebted rock'n'roll in the 1960s. Their Keep On Running – a stomping blast of Stax-style soul – scored 17-year-old Winwood his first number one single in 1965, beginning a career that would see him scooping up Grammy Awards 20 years later and – thanks to Eric Prydz's cheesy Call On Me remodelling of Winwood's 1987 hit Valerie – topping the singles charts as recently as 2004.
Revolution opens with Keep On Running, and further essays Winwood's tenure with Spencer Davis via self-penned hits like Gimme Some Lovin' and the fearsomely funky, Hammond-drenched I'm a Man, both authentic enough to become R&B standards in their own right. The precocious singer was restless, however, moving on in 1967 to form Traffic, whose ambitious fusion of rock, psychedelia, folk and jazz reflected the mind-expanding times, showcasing Winwood's growing sophistication as both performer and songwriter. No longer merely aping his R&B heroes, he was now delivering darkly powerful blues jams (Dear Mr Fantasy) and sitar-driven episodes of paranoid acid-rock (the eerie, still-chilling Paper Sun).
Traffic eventually burned out in the mid-70s, and a newly-solo Winwood struggled at first to recover his groove; early solo hit While You See a Chance finds him toying with earnest pop melodies and synthesisers, but feels cloying and sentimental, like a bad sitcom theme. 1985's triple Grammy-winning Back In the High Life album struck a better balance between his blues roots and the kind of lucrative, expertly-tailored AOR contemporaries like Eric Clapton and Phil Collins were then making. The gospel-tinged Higher Love (featuring Chaka Khan) is fittingly ecstatic 80s blue-eyed soul, while the title-track, aided by James Taylor, is a movingly-optimistic midlife rumination, Winwood reaching pop maturity with a grace that eluded many of his contemporaries.
Dirty City, a slow-burning, bluesy jam with Clapton from 2008, rounds out the solo set, and finds Winwood's fire commendably undimmed 40 years on. The four-CD box-set version of Revolutions examines his back-catalogue in great depth, but a simultaneously released 16-track single-CD package is faultless, racing through the highlights with the pace of a tightly-scripted Hollywood biopic.
