Service 4wd
My service 4wd light has been coming on 2-3 times a week for the past 10 days. Every time at start up I get NO light. The light doesn't come on, until you drive for at least 10min or so, but every time is different. Could be 10 min then could be 1/2 hour or so, or sometimes not at all. So here are my specs.
2011 Overland with 5.7 and QL
Custom wheels 22x9 with 305/40R22 (31.6) Overall height.
Now before you say anything, the wheels have been on the Jeep since late March early April. No light till like I said about 10 days ago. Maybe I'm wrong, it could be the wheels. I hope there not cause I love them.
Let me know what you guys think, thanks in advance!
Re: Service 4wd
No reason for it to be the wheels as long as all 4 are the same size. Sounds like a fault the dealer should be able to read and fix. If nothing else, your Jeep dealer should know how to service the 4WD system......
Re: Service 4wd
I get the "service 4wd" pretty regularly, it just pops up once in a while, goes away in a couple seconds. I know its happened to a lot of WK owners. But as far as WK2's, i dunno.
Re: Service 4wd
Thanks for the responses, look like I will just have to see what dealer says. I will keep you posted if interested.
Re: Service 4wd
I had the same issue on my WK2 overland
It was a loose connection...simple fix by the dealer
Re: Service 4wd
Gonna definitely need to see those 22s!
Re: Service 4wd
Doubt this helps, but: I had the same thing on the WK and it needed a flash on my FCM.
Re: Service 4wd
Going to make a trip to the dealer next week after I put the stockers back on. Hope it's just a simple re-flash. Thanks for the help.
Re: Service 4wd
Trip # 1 to a local Chrysler Dealer in Philadelphia. "Chrysler wants us to reflash the final drive control module. They say it fixes 90% of the Service 4wd system indications." Trip #2 to the same dealer after one week in their shop, "We reflashed the final drive control module with a newer software update than we used last time. Chrysler guarantees it to solve the problem." Trip #3 to the same dealer a few days ago, "If you're willing to pay for the labor, we would like to change the final drive control module. We're throwing things against the wall here and seeing what sticks." The final cost is gonna be about $200 for me and about $470 to the dealer. No sure if this will help you or not. But it might be worth mentioning to someone when you take it to the shop.
Re: Service 4wd
Keep track of the times that it's in the shop...may need it for Lemon Law claim...
Re: Service 4wd
I would not pay a cent, it is their problem, they should fix it under warranty.
Re: Service 4wd
A TSB/Flash update is in the works and due for release in about a week. Is anyone getting a C2221 code?

Coverage of the Gulf Oil Spill
I don't know who wrote this but he nailed it!
Once upon a time the government had a vast junk yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said , "someone may steal from it at night.." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job..
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost."
So they laid off the night watchman.
NOW slowly?.Let it sink in.
Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.
Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY .... during the Carter Administration?
Anybody? Anything? No?
Didn't think so!
Bottom line. We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency ... the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!
Ready?? It was very simple ... and, at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate.
The Department of Energy was instituted on 8-04-1977. TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.
Hey, pretty efficient, huh???
Ah, yes—good ole bureaucracy…
And, NOW, we are going to turn the banking system, HEALTH CARE and the auto industry over to the same Government?
Good point, well taken. Ironic, but the environmentalists have contributed nothing but acrimony into an issue that really never should have been so politicized. I understand that Big Oil has a lot influence in Washington. Huge profits are great, and influence is our way of life. We are a capitalistic society. But big profits are no excuse for our current US government restrictions on imports of high gas mileage vehicles, favored by Americans, which could help the average US driver break the high gas consumption habits. Back to your point—maybe we would demand better vehicles if all of our coastal skylines were darkened by the view of wall to wall shallow water drilling rigs. That way it would be a constant reminder of how much gas is consumed, and who is consuming it. In addition to rigs on the skyline, maybe some safer, albeit more expensive, drilling practices, funded by higher gas prices, would also help us break the habit, and make plug in electrics even more compelling than they already are. Personally, I drive this great big ass 1 ton 4 x 4 around. But only when I can't cram all my tools into the Jetta TDI. It gets 50 mpg and I definitely want to double that with an EV.
First off, are you talking big profits or a big profit margin? THIS is a list of profit margins by sector. It would be #23 (9.7%). And if your company was being threatened by some insane government legislation and you knew your only hope of buying time was with the contributions that politicians crave, wouldn't you also try and feed the beast. If it were any other arena other than government, it would be called ex-torsion.
I've lived in areas that had pumping oil wells. Sorry, I didn't see them as a blight. No more so than endless cell towers or high tension power lines. Would a forest of wind turbines be more pleasing to view. Think of the noise pollution and harm to wildlife. It would be interesting to see a comparison of the number of wind turbines needed to replace one oil well.
Lets not forget that it is not gasoline that is leaking from the gulf floor, but unrefined crude oil. If every internal combustion engine were to stop, we would still need crude oil. The list of bi-products is in the thousands. And so where do these products come from without the extraction of crude oil from the ground?
So you drive a big 4x4. Why? Is it because you need a large vehicle to haul heavy loads? Have you ever questioned why there are no electric semi-tractor trucks? Maybe oil is the only practical source of energy presently available today. I don't know about you, but I really do not want anyone telling me that I can't own a vehicle because of their view point of what I should or should not have. It is not that the american public have an affinity for high m.p.g. vehicles, but they do have a desire for transportation that fits their needs and desires. Its called the free market. I call that freedom. (Ever question why cars get such low mileage and cost so much? Think about that for a moment.)
No, I think it is time that the environmental movement does the right think, steps up to the plate, raises its hand and says "My Bad".
And, NOW, we are going to turn the banking system, HEALTH CARE and the auto industry over to the same Government?
I completely agree with you on this, except that it is not that we are Going To, but have turned these industries over to our government. :-(
Apologies if this has already been posted but Kevin Costner has some tech that will hopefully help the cleanup. I always knew he really did have gills!!
vid at bottom of article too.
I would think the tech that is being used in a microcap company I have mentioned a long time ago could be utilized as well at some point in the future, ESPH Ecosphere Tech. It sounds similar in the way that the impurities are separated by using centrifugal force.
Looks like ESPH is getting involved in the Gulf oil cleanup efforts afterall!
Here is a piece that ran on some news stations last night
Dennis McGuire, CEO and CTO of Ecosphere Technologies, said, "We are experts in treating a wide variety of flowback and produced waters for major energy producers. What makes our patented Ecosphere Ozonix technology unique over all other methods that treat produced waters is that we do not use any liquid chemicals in our process. The equipment we will be deploying to the Gulf has just been completed and is our newest offshore technology specifically built for removing oil and chemicals from sea water. The current crisis in the Gulf demands our immediate attention and we expect to move our equipment to Louisiana over the next few days."
Looks like ESPH is getting involved in the Gulf oil cleanup efforts afterall!
Here is a piece that ran on some news stations last night
In for 5000 shrs of ESPH @ $1.14, and I've been in for three tranches of RIG {Transocean} calls for a few weeks, hope this one works! I'm outta ESPH if it hits the evening news nationally, call it a traders hunch.

Well I hope it wasnt solely based on my posts. They do have some more contracts lined up for frac water treatment at some of the other Nat gas producers that havent come on line yet but I don't know where the price is going near term.
If you look at their charts they have been pretty volatile.
Most of my buys were in .30's and .40's a few thousand shares but then I bought a thousand more at 1.50 after it hit 1.80 a few months back. Whooops! 8( just 2 days ago it was at .72 I think. $1.00 had been support for awhile so hoping it can stay over now.
Sometimes these news blips tend to push it up for a few days and then it consolidates again though. NOt trying to pump it just thought it was a relevant item of discussion in this thread.
for those who are interested here is a discussion group on the stock.
But please dont throw tomatoes at me if it turns out to be a stinker for you. I literally only have a small amount of my overall portfolio in it as a spec play. Have some friends wagering quite a bit on it (unwisely in my opinion, as they are not the most savvy of investors). I've been in and out 4 times with decent profits over the last 2 years, my friends have been in for 4 years or longer back when it was called something else. They have had huge swings and have just continued to add more. 8/ not smart in my opinion. Hope it works out for everybody in though.
Well I hope it wasnt solely based on my posts. They do have some more contracts lined up for frac water treatment at some of the other Nat gas producers that havent come on line yet but I don't know where the price is going near term
THAT is a side bonus, the Gas Frac Water.
I actually just negotiated a signing bonus on 120 acres of Marcellus shale in PA that we own from an inheritance, so I've been HUGE in some Natural Gas firms and have actually toured and studied a dozen shale gas sites, onsite, personally. The company I am favoring primarily EOG Resources for about eight months now, and trust me, the water issue is a HUGE HUGE thing that is continually thrown up against them, if this will resolve that, it is something that may turn me from a spot speculator to a longer term investor. I can see them being bought out by a MAJOR DRILLING FIRM SERVICES PROVIDER just to counter the negative press on the water issues.[ Edited: 26 May 2010 03:11 PM by TanToday ]
"Even in the worst of times, someone turns a profit. . " —#162 Ferengi: Rules of Acquisition
ok cool, you seem to know what you are dealing with then 8).
Im in S florida and my buddys uncle lives in stuart where they are based he has been invested in them since the company started out and he has a large percentage of his net worth invested in the them now. He also thinks they will eventually get bought out.
I wish I had more spare cash to speculate more on it but I will be happy with the small position I have if they do finally get the other contracts signed up, a full buyout would be icing on the cake. I dont know how far along Mr Costners tech is, if they are ready to deploy or not but I know these guys could basically have a few machines ready to roll in no time.
If you are interested, here are the four wells they have either completed, or are in the process of finishing, that are 6000 feet off our property, hopefully they will expand and put our hunting camps 120 acres in play in the next year or so, if they do, it will certainly go a long way to a more secure retirement.[ Edited: 27 May 2010 10:05 AM by TanToday ]
"Even in the worst of times, someone turns a profit. . " —#162 Ferengi: Rules of Acquisition
Very nice congrats!
The ultimate "Decision Maker" is the SITE OWNER, which was and is BP.
Looks like RIG {Transocean} wanted to be safe, and BP managers ordered them to DELIBERATELY take a riskier move, in order to extract the drilling mud for reuse.
So, the "bad guys" in this scenario, are HAL {Halliburton} who screwed up the well wall cementing job that failed, BP for ordering RIG to remove the heavy drilling mud { now being replaced as we type…} and BP again, for ordering RIG to continue drilling AFTER it was known that the BLOWOUT PREVENTER had problems.
{FWIW, methinks this ENTIRE thing is a FALSE FLAG PLANNED OP in order to kill off deepwater drilling in the USA, and to advance the valuation of overseas holdings of certain groups…} the "Players" Cheney's HAL, and BP, seem to always be cahoots whenever these things like Afghanistan, Iraq, suddenly require huge investments of OUR blood and OUR money. And this happening the VERY DAY BEFORE "EARTH DAY" and right after Obama opens up for offshore {we KNOW that he continually opposed this, and did a sudden reversal } just REEKS of planned op. Like all other False Flag ops, you have the "event" followed up by the public DEMANDING more government control, increased taxes, and MORE power transferred from the FREE to the OLIGARCHY.
May 26, 2010, 8:32 p.m. EDT
Report: Transocean argued with BP before blast
NEW YORK (MarketWatch)—Transocean (NYSE:RIG) supervisors that were aboard the Deepwater Horizion rig told government officials Wednesday about a disagreement with BP (NYSE:BP) officials hours before the blast on Aprl 20 that killed 11 and resulted in the current oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. In a joint hearing held by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Minerals Management Service in Louisiana, Douglas Brown, Transocean's chief mechanic on the rig, said that key representatives from both companies had a heated argument in an 11 a.m. meeting on that day, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. Brown said Transocean's crew leaders objected to a decision by BP on how to start removing heavy drilling fluid and replace it with lighter sea water from a riser pipe connected to the well head. BP declined to comment on the testimony.

More NEWS about ESPH.
May 27, 2010 (FinancialWire)—Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ESPH) has appointed water industry veteran George Chapas to director of new business development.
Chapas is developing the strategy to introduce and market the company's patented Ecosphere Ozonix technology into industrial and municipal water applications. The recently patented Ecosphere Ozonix technology is an advanced oxidation process that can be used to treat a wide variety of industrial and municipal wastewater applications eliminating the use of chemicals.
That was actually out a few days ago LINK to IR news but there has been additional coverage on ESPH started today at a firm called Skymark Research http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/esph/news. However that is just PR work and may only be temporary boost. More importantly I think is the recent coverage of the proposed use in the gulf spill as well as rising crude and nat gas prices.
Glad to hear the Top kill operations are positive so far. Hope they can get it secure so that focus on cleanup can begin.
Sorry no link, but the "top kill" has worked and they are about to start pumping concrete to seal the well. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I have a bunch of old vhs tapes that I would like to put onto dvd. Is there a free way I could do this from my computer, and what type of equipment if any would I need? I am looking for the cheapest way to do things if possible. Please be as clear as possible. Thanks
How-To Geek Forums / Tutorials
How do I convert VHS to DVD?(6 posts)
its not free but its there...
or this
If you want to do it yourself you must have;
1. VHS player with line out (A/V)
2. Video Capture device which can be internal (PCI) or external-this will convert analog signal from VHS to digital
3. Software to capture the video stream and convert the video into computer movie format -this normally comes with the Video Capture device.
4. A lot of free time
That's it.
I've had some success using an old camcorder as the Video Capture device, they don't all work but do a search on "camcorder pass-through" for more info.
As has been noted it can be quite a laborious process. When our company moved office earlier this year we had a batch converted by Blue Turtle Video who were pretty good
Iam using VHS pLayer with AV output , pinnacle AV capture device , pinnacle capturing software which came along with device contain 3 CDs ,VHS rewinder with cleaner for cleaning ur VHS coz its too old so its sure consist of fungs clean using VHS before u playing it in VHS palyer , after capturing to PC if u want to convert to DVD use Canopus Procoder its the best one ....

Smoothed nonparametric kernel spectral density estimates are considered for stationary data observed on a d-dimensional lattice. The implications for edge effect bias of the choice of kernel and bandwidth are considered. Under some circumstances the bias can be dominated by the edge effect. We show that this problem can be mitigated by tapering. Some extensions and related issues are discussed.

geeky The 10 Geekiest Things Sent Into Space f p @
373 votes 86 voters 50k views 10 items Follow Embed
We have sent a lot of strange things into space and there is no sign that we will stop putting weird things into space any time soon. From light sabers to sea urchins it doesn't seem like there is any limit to what we will send into space. Another thing we have sent into space is bacteria. Scientists were curious about what would happen to bacteria in space and they found the answer after they sent some salmonella for a journey and then tested it on animals when it came back to earth. They found that the space bacteria had grown much stronger and so because of that cleanliness in space is of utmost importance. The costs of sending things into space are very high so it must have cost one space tourist a lot of money to get a seat on a rocket headed to the International Space Station. It takes a huge amount of energy to get a rocket free of Earth's gravitational field and for each additional body you have to add a lot of weight in terms of body mass as well as all of the supplies that each person needs to survive.
These are the weirdest things in space if you're looking for a list of things in space. Outer space that is. Everything is in space.
In the name of science, NASA and various organizations have sent dozens of random things into outer space. Here are the geekiest and weirdest ones, judged by the geekiness of the senders because in space, no one can hear you snort.

The Ashes of Scotty and the Creator of Star Trek
Leave it to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry to request part of his ashes to be sent into space. In 1992, a lipstick-sized capsule was delivered to outer space by the space shuttle Columbia on its STS-52 mission. Roddenberry (or the remains of Roddenberry) orbited the Earth before eventually disintegrating in the atmosphere allowing Trekkies and Trekkers alike point at the skies and tell their children that up there, somewhere, it was Gene.
Another capsule was sent the same way in 1997 on Pegasus XL.
But wait, there's more!
James Doohan, better known as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott on Star Trek, decided that he too wanted his ashes to travel into space. In fact, this idea for his final resting place was, coincidentally, given to him by Gene Roddenberry.
A 2012 space trip sent the rest of Roddenberry's and his wife Majal's ashes into space along with digitized fan letters. Unfortunately for Roddenberry, he got stuck with all the odd-numbered ash scatterings and those are ALWAYS the worst.

Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber
As an homage to the 1977 classic sci-fi film Star Wars, NASA took the lightsaber that Luke Skywalker himself (Mark Hamill) used to fight the Dark Side and shot it six million miles into space.
In fact, the Jedi weapon was personally sent off in the presence of Chewbacca himself, interestingly enough.
After the six million mile journey in space, the elegant weapon (for a more civilized age) handcrafted by the finest Jedi since his father was then returned to LucasFilm, so now it could very well be stored deep within the Disney Vault.

Bird Droppings
This is geeky because it falls in that same kind of Revenge of the Nerds clumsiness we expect from any kind of social hermit, so technically this might be a little more "nerdy". Nonetheless, this is pretty interesting and will allow you a get out of jail free card with people who don't respect you.
The Space Shuttle Discovery was noted as sporting some white guano spattering three weeks prior to lift off and, despite regular Florida thunderstorms, they were still there upon take off... and they were still there when they got back.
During launch, a shuttle was sprayed with 300,000 gallons of water and the craft accelerated from zero to 17,500 mph in just under 9 minutes. Despite such a voyage, the shuttle was still sporting the white blotches on the aircraft as it blasted into space.
So next time someone gives you guff about your car being covered in bird poop, you can point them to this fact.

Space Tourist Richard Garriott
For the small price of $30 million apparently you too can visit outer space. What's more, is that someone actually paid that much just for a trip to space (it's pretty great and all, but who has that kinda cash lying around...
Texan computer game developer Richard Garriott paid that amount to Russia's Federal Space Agency for a chance to board a Soyuz rocket in 2008.
Son of former NASA astronaut Owen Garriott, Richard became the first American second-generation space traveler when he spent 10 days in the International Space Station.

Tardigrades, or "water bears," are microscopic eight-legged critters known to survive extreme temperatures, tons of radiation, and nearly a decade without water on Earth. So what did science decide to do? Basically put them in a gladiatorial ring by saying, "You want more, do you?... Well..."
Since these little guys (who kind of look, adorably, like porpoises) can pretty much withstand ANYTHING, we thought we'd send them into space, see what happens.
In September 2008, these creatures proved their survival in the extreme environment of outer space. Upon their return to Earth, it was clear that these cute little invertebrates survived in perfect health.
I, for one, welcome our new, microscopic, tiny-handed overlords.

Anything You Want!
A company in California, Masten Space Systems in Santa Clara, is offering you - yes you- the chance to send anything you want into space and back, as long as it'll fit in a Coke can and isn't too heavy.
Along with increasingly common and affordable CubeSats, these CanSats have been flying for years on smaller rockets as part of high school engineering and science fair projects. So you know those things we're not allowed to throw into the sea? Let's throw them into the place that protects us from rays and affects the life-giving sunlight that comes into our planet!
No really, there are many, many practical and research applications for CubeSats, but wouldn't it be fun to just send something into space for the most petty reasons? "Now he'll NEVER find his freaking keys!"

Sea Urchins
Scientists have fired a lot of strange creatures up into space in the quest for knowledge and enlightenment and today, almost all shuttle missions carry rats, mice, flies, and even jellyfish for scientific experiments. As early as 1948 the US launched its first primate into space (poor Albert died on the trip) but it wasn't until 1957 when the Russian dog named Laika became the first animal to orbit the Earth on board Sputnik II.
Since then a whole menagerie of creatures has gone supersonic including guinea pigs, frogs, snails, tortoise, spiders and cockroaches. In the 1990s sea urchins were aboard space shuttle Columbia for some top secret testing. If in a few years the army reveal their new 'urchin' cluster bomb we know who to blame.

Android Phone
A true science geek proposed The "Astdroid" project . This man's name is Danny Pier. The Astdroid Project is a venture to send an Android smartphone into space. Danny, a 25 year old self-proclaimed computer nerd is confident that he can create a weather balloon with an HTC Evo (running the Android OS) to track its journey into space with its camera, transmitter, computing power and GPS technology.
Unfortunately someone did it first in a project called SpaceDroid . That's the crappy thing about great ideas, someone's always done them.

Illegal Immigrants In The U.S.
Dear Editor,
While President Obama was discussing health care, he said that Medicaid and Medicare will not have enough funding to continue on for much longer, and that the government will help businesses that don't have health care for their employees. Well, since many businesses hire illegal immigrants, who would really be benefiting from the health care? Not American citizens. The government is avoiding dealing with the real issue. Not only are illegal immigrants affecting health care, the standard of education is so low because immigrant parents don't want to learn English, which then causes job test standards to be lowered, but only for some.
I know that no American can go to France, England, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Cuba or any other country and stay and get to lower that country's high standard of education, work or living. These liberal, passive ways have been the downfall of the U.S. Please call, write, fax or e-mail our elected officials and our president— say no to government controlled health care, say no to illegals getting public assistance and food stamps and Medicaid, say no to illegals getting SSI or SSD under illegal names using past dead people's social security numbers, make INS and immigration step up on surprise visits on businesses harboring illegals, make test standards the same for all races, lower immigration quotas into the U.S. and step up deportation.

A man who completed a unique journey to all 201 countries in the world without flying needs to retrace part of his journey if it is to be recognised as a record.
Graham Hughes, whose entry into South Sudan last November completed a voyage to every country in the world recognised by the United Nations, is currently en route to Russia.
Although he crossed into the country from Estonia in spring 2009, he went over the border illegally, the only country he did not enter officially. For this reason, Guinness World Records is refusing to ratify his journey as a record.
"The visa into Russia cost about 150 quid and I was on a shoestring budget, and travelling to as many countries as possible, very fast," Mr Hughes explained. "It [the Guinness World Record's decision] is completely understandable, because they don't want to encourage people to do illegal things."
Since learning of the obstacle, Mr Hughes has adopted the same phlegmatic approach that allowed him to visit all the world's countries in the first place.
"I can solve the problem. I came back from South Sudan overland, so I can pick up the journey at any time," he said. "It's quite a funny coda to my travels – I am just glad it's not Bangladesh, that it's somewhere that's only 24 hours away on the coach."
Mr Hughes has paid £100 ($A150) for a return coach ticket to Gdansk, where he will arrive on Tuesday local time. From there, he will travel to Kaliningrad a Russian exclave bordering Poland and Lithuania, this time with a €75 ($A97) visa, and is due to return to Britain on Thursday.
Asked whether he was tempted to fly back this time, he said he remained determined to travel in the same way. "It is one of the things I want to keep doing for the rest of my life. Whenever a new country gains independence, I want to head there overland from the UK, and continue the journey."

Harbor Creek Huskies
Coach (season, record): Jason Dolak (3rd season, 22-22)
2010-11 overall record: 8-14
2010-11 region record (place): 3-11 (seventh)
2010-11 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 Class AAA playoffs.
Top players lost: Brandon King, Adam Sestak, Adam Weismiller
Top returning players: Drew Barko, Austin Griffith, Joe McBride, Bremont Robison, Lucas Mattson
Assistant coaches: Jeff Dolak, Ryan Munson
Outlook: Harbor Creek will look to the lower levels this winter to fill in some gaps and possibly contribute daily to help the seniors. The Huskies don't have a lot of experience back but five strong seniors in Drew Barko, Austin Griffith, Joe McBride, Bremont Robison and Lucas Mattson. Barko started nine games last year before suffering a season-ending injury. Griffith and McBride are returning starters, while Robison and Mattson were solid backups. Harbor Creek has some holes to fill with the graduation of Brandon King, Adam Sestak and Adam Weismiller. King might be the biggest loss in production at 14.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Joe Zoltowski could see more minutes on the varsity level along with Isaac Mattson, Jacob Stanopiewicz and Adam Renshaw. The Huskies have to deal with a tough region schedule along with an ambitious non-region schedule that features Strong Vincent, North East and Cathedral Prep. Harbor Creek has the talent to stick with most of their Region 7 opponents and if the Huskies can develop some chemistry and some of the younger players, they could be a dangerous team in the second half of the season.

2010-11 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 Class AAA playoffs.
Top players lost: Paige Renshaw, Valerie Langer
Top returning players: Casey Carnell, Steph Corey, Karmella Kienholz, Kellie Nowakowski, Crystal Taccone, Sadie Zielinski
Assistant coaches: Bob Rzodkiewicz, Scott Hinman
Outlook: Harbor Creek went through some changes in the offseason with Mark Corey taking over the program. Corey will have plenty of experienced players to work with as the Huskies only lost Paige Renshaw and Valerie Langer to graduation. Seniors Casey Carnell, Steph Corey, Karmella Kienholz, Kellie Nowakowski and Crystal Taccone provide leadership, while Sadie Zielinski is an up-and-coming junior. The Huskies might also receive big contributions from Tash Brigham, Camille Sicker, Maggie Lawrence, Maddie Carnell, Theresa Fachetti and Alaina Kruszewski. Harbor Creek is looking to be competitive in a region that it is transition and grab one of the four playoff spots available. The Huskies have the experience and talent to make a run, but the key this season will be developing under a new system and getting some help from the lower levels to add to their depth.

Gabriella le Breton explores the hearts of cities and towns while on a river cruise.
The defining memory of cruising the Danube is not the balmy evening I spent watching the lush Austrian countryside slip past as our vessel navigated the Schlogener Donauschlinge - the point at which the Danube curls back on itself - to the sound of exuberant birdsong.
Nor is it the sunny afternoon we motored along the narrow Wachau Valley, flanked by picturesque mediaeval villages, steep-terraced vineyards and no fewer than 45 castles. It's not even arriving in Budapest shortly after dawn, passing the splendid parliament building and underneath the Chain Bridge.
No, my defining memory is learning how to play shuffleboard on River Beatrice's sun deck as a storm bore down in Linz. The city's large Ars Electronica Centre, on the river bank opposite, pulsated with flashing lights in time to booming music, while bolts of lightning lit the mountainous backdrop to this imperial Austrian city. Heavy rain then sent us scurrying downstairs to the lounge, where the strains of the excellent New Ohr Linz Dixieband drowned out the claps of thunder.
Having joined this voyage expecting generous portions of history, lashings of Habsburg architecture and dollops of Strauss, this decidedly contemporary little adventure proves there's plenty more to the Danube than ornate campaniles and schmaltzy music.
The River Beatrice is an attractive, 162-passenger ship launched in 2009 by the American company Uniworld. The crew is unfailingly friendly, my fellow passengers charming and the boat spacious and immaculate. Beatrice has a superb sun deck, with attractive wrought-iron tables, chairs and parasols, and dangerously comfortable loungers from which to watch the ever-changing scenery.
The comfort and elegance are pre-eminent and, together with its sister ship River Antoinette, Beatrice has some of the largest and best-appointed staterooms of any river cruise line in Europe, with made-to-order beds, luxurious linen and spacious bathrooms.
The decor throughout the ship is lavish yet tasteful, with a vast white Murano glass chandelier hanging in the atrium, padded walls upholstered in raw silk and gilt-framed paintings adorning the mirrored restaurant walls. Had our days not been spent admiring baroque and rococo architecture, the opulence might have felt excessive and I did seek refuge occasionally from the crushed velvet and florals in the more muted captain's lounge and library.
One of the main benefits of river cruising is that boats typically moor in the heart of cities, thus Linz's 13th-century main square was just 10 minutes' walk from the boat and, although a fleet of coaches whisked us to the Benedictine abbey of Melk the following day, it was an easy 20-minute stroll through the mediaeval town for a slab of rich linzertorte by the magnificent baroque cathedral on the way to the ship.
Similarly, at Durnstein we were conveyed to a tasting of local wines at the Domane Wachau vineyard aboard a tiny electric train but 10 minutes on foot would have covered it. Perched on a ridge overlooking the Danube as it winds through the Wachau Valley, Durnstein is one of Austria's most compact and beautiful small towns.
Crowned by the ruins of a castle (fine views reward those who make the climb to it), it has pretty shops selling wines, apricot liqueur and pastries. It required great strength to tear myself away from my glass of gruner veltliner, served in the garden of the Sanger Blondel restaurant underneath the town's sky-blue church tower, to return to the ship that evening.
Fortunately, an epicurean dinner lay in wait, meaning the food, which was generally excellent (with the odd lapse), was even better than usual. Clearly, considerable effort went into the creation of menus, which reflected local produce and culinary customs: in Passau, we enjoyed Bavarian beer and garlic cream soup followed by seared pike; in Durnstein, we feasted on Styrian fried chicken salad and duck breast in Burgenland red-wine sauce; and in Vienna, there was the inevitable wiener schnitzel and rich sachertorte.
The Austrian capital was a voyage highlight. An impressive selection of excursions was available but as the Beatrice was moored just 15 minutes' walk from the nearest underground station, from where Vienna's city centre was a 10-minute ride, independent exploration of the city was relatively easy. Furthermore, the ship was docked by the car-free Donauinsel (Danube Island) - ideal for taking an evening ride along the cycle paths that criss-cross the island.
The pace of a river cruise is noticeably slower than that of an ocean cruise, with less distance covered and more time spent in port. However, the end of our cruise in Budapest still seemed to come all too quickly. After a brisk but informative tour of the main sights on both the Buda and Pest sides of the capital, I spent the afternoon admiring brides and grooms emerging from the immense St Stephen's Basilica, watching celebrated Hungarian authors signing their works at a busy book fair and devouring cakes at the noted Gerbeaud Cafe on Vorosmarty Square.
My day in Budapest allowed just enough time to absorb a feel for this historic yet vibrant city, leaving me with the desire to return. But perhaps this is the essence of a river cruise - to give passengers a taste of each place, while leaving them hungry for more.
Getting there
Lufthansa has a fare to Munich from Sydney and Melbourne and back from Budapest for about $2020 low-season return, including tax. Fly a partner airline to Singapore (about 8hr), then Lufthansa to Munich (13hr 11min). The flight home from Budapest is via Frankfurt; see lufthansa.com. There are trains from Munich to Passau (2hr).
Cruising there
A seven-night Enchanting Danube cruise aboard River Beatrice from Passau to Budapest or the reverse is priced from $3795 a person, twin share between April 29 and August 19. Includes all meals on board, wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner, shore excursions and transfers. Phone 1300 780 231; see uniworldcruises.com.au.

mooreandrew58 4 years ago#291
Same answer I always give...and these topics pop up waaaay too much.
I wen't back and played the first two zelda games after I already owned a xbox 360 still ended up enjoying both games and I had never played them before as a child growing up. my first zelda was OoT. oh and same for all 2d FF games. had to go back and play all of them after 3d games had long been around. and I almost forgot about megaman. just played the first 6 for the first time just a few months ago. my mom picked out my video games till I got OoT and all she ever got me was mario and sonic games mostly....
(now my list is all 3d games, I was just making a point, I can enjoy a much much older game without having to have nostalgia)
as for my list
1. any elder scrolls games, the quests and exploring the map always seem more epic to me the first time I do it
2. legend of zelda ocarina of time, I know the game pretty much like the back of my hand now so its in no way a challenge anymore. guess I could try to find a copy of masters quest though. (I ended up doing a no shield run just to make it more challenging... only shield for absolutely necessary parts, then i'd go hunt a like like and let it eat my shield)
3. lost odyssey just for the story and kain's lost memories. rare game that actually got me emotional on a regular basis.
Chrono Trigger. There was VERY little about that game that didn't awe me when I first played it years ago. The sudden disappearance of Marle, the first time jump, the Dragon Tank battle, the "Battle on the Big Bridge"...I could go on for pages on how epic this game was the first time I played it. Then I played it again...and got a totally different ending by battling Lavos earlier. WOAH. The SNES version? I replayed the same New Game + file so many times that I wound-up MAXING all my character stats...without grinding for Tabs. And you know something? I STILL play it. The DS re-release/expansion ROCKS. Got the PS1 version, too.
Shadow Hearts: Covenant. This game was so full of F.T.W. multiplied by W.T.F. that it asploded my mind on multiple occasions. God-Slayer? Check. Cool Beauty who has really odd choice in clothing who's just as awesome/has blue panties? Check. Gay wrestler/vampire whose culmination of awesome is The Man Festival - featuring an honest-to-God real historical person? Check. Bleepin' Geppetto? CHECK. A wolf whose moment of awesome BEGINS by imitating Solid Snake (including standing on his hind legs to hide around corners)? Check. A Samurai cousin whose hot-as-Hell mother (mains' aunt) has an apparent incest fetish for her son (and it's awesome)? So much more good stuff, I wish I could see it for the first time again.
Tie: The Legend of Zelda. This game kicked my butt as a kid. Where do I go? What do I do? I didn't know, but I didn't care. The game was awesome. I could go just about anywhere and explore just about everything. I must have bombed every single wall there was in the game just to see if there was a cave, burned every tree to see if there was a staircase, and eventually pushed against every wall to see if there was an invisible path. Playing the game was like when I was back in 1st grade, playing in the woods behind my house with my friends, exploring as though we were the first people to ever step foot in the creepy cemetery, traveled the (well worn) game trails, and play sword fight with our wooden swords. I finally beat the game after several months...and discovered a second quest that made me weep in frustration. It wasn't until YEARS later, with the receipt of the NES Game Atlas (by Nintendo Power) that I could finish it...I just couldn't find all the dungeons!
Tie: Crystalis. Anyone remember this gem? To me when I was young, it was like The Legend of Zelda on crack. Beautiful graphics. Catchy musical score. Actual plots and sub-plots. Completely varied (and often confusing) landscapes. Bosses who TAUNTED me. Powered-up elemental swords. Puzzles (well, early puzzles...but still). Sure, the game was fairly linear, but the pace of the game made sense. While my classmates were going gaga over Dragon Warrior they got with their NP subscription, I was rockin' it hardcore with this title. Strangely, I attended a school system where games were not considered dorky. I didn't figure that out until I graduated, though. All those years thinking I was a freak/dork/nerd when in fact I was normal...so much potential wasted.
Honorable mentions:
Secret of Mana
Super Mario Bros (1, 2, 3)
Star Tropics I & II
Mega Man 2
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time
Valis 1-4
Dragon Quest VIII (Special note: The first moment I started this game, I wasn't overly impressed - 'Oooo...nice cut scen...wait...am I....oh my God I AM! I'm playing an Akira Toriyama CARTOON!!!' And it went straight to awesome from there.)
Valkyrie Profile 1 & 2
Hmm...odd...why aren't there any PS3/360 games on my list?
the_lokstir 4 years ago#293
portal 2
metal gear solid 3
halo 3 multiplayer
1) Soudeki (XB)
2) Primal (PS2)
3) Metroid: Fusion (GBA)
The first two could have been developed into franchises to rival Zelda, with world exploration and character building. Fusion was handneld, excellent addition to the Metroid franchise.
Unfortunately, unlike KotoR or Mass Effect or some other games, once the story finished and the puzzles were solved, replayability took a nosedive.
MortimerBrewstr 4 years ago#295
Final Fantasy VI
Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)
Borderlands 2 with my Brother.
Maybe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time instead of one of those.

It's unfortunate that there hasn't been a decent online open world racer since Paradise/Midnight Club LA
The new NFS Most Wanted was trash, Forza Horizon can be fully beaten in like 5 hours...
I had millions of dollars and numerous supercars in that short amount of time, I didn't even use a guide it was so short, easy, and boring.
Test Drive Unlimited 2 was also a massive failure.
Where the **** is a new Midnight Club?
It's an open world online racer, and Rockstar ALWAYS delivers.

At the root of human behavior is the impulse for connection. History is our witness: As times change, certain trends emerge that anchor shared experiences, around which people collectively rally. Today, with social media acting as a platform for ubiquitous connections, diverse consumers build solidarity around digital experiences. Beyond simply looking for deals and discounts, individuals who "friend," "follow," and "like" brands seek closer brand relationships.
However, while consumers around the world want to be part of a brand community, some cultures are more enthusiastic than others. Forrester's Consumer Technographics® data shows that Latin American online adults are more passionate about engaging with brands for affective reasons than their European and Japanese counterparts:
This variation roughly parallels Hofstede's dimensions of culture, which suggests that the differences are partially a reflection of cultural nuances: Those populations that are most motivated to share in the brand community are all-around collectivist rather than individualist.

Best (easiest) way to remove old tile from floor
Hey folks -
I'm about to retile one of my bathrooms. The bathroom floor has the same tiles as another bathroom that I redid a year ago. The specifics: the tiles are 4" hexagons, 1/16 grout line, plywood subfloor, they've been there for about 15 years. When I was taking them out of the other bathroom a year ago, it was crazy hard. I would shatter a few tiles with a hammer and use a Wonder Bar and mallet to get underneath the tiles and pop them off of the floor. This took FOREVER! I also cut myself up from flying porcelain fragments and hit my thumb about a dozen times with the mallet. Does anybody have any suggestions on speeding up the process?:confused1:
I use one of these with a wide chisle.
Laying directly over plywood is not the best way. At least 1/4 tile board with thin set under it is suggested.
Get your wife to do it for you.
I use hardi-backer under my new tiling projects. Works great. I guess it wasn't the standard when they built this house. We bought it about 5 years ago and I'm slowly updating.

Get Trapped
Every now and then the Pocket Sandwich Theatre puts away the popcorn melodramas and stages a real play. They have a doozey in this 30-year-old comedy-thriller by murder maestro Ira Levin (Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives). Fading writer Sidney Bruhl (Dennis Millegen) schemes to murder a handsome young dramatist named Clifford (Beau Trujillo) so he can steal the young man's perfect play and pass it off as his own. Sidney's wife Myra (Trista Wyly) doesn't have the heart to go through with the homicide plot. But is that the real story? Is that nosy neighbor (Angela Wilson) a psychic or a pretender who just wants to write her own play? Who murders whom and why is the juice of Deathtrap, which tweaks the genre by revealing all the plot turns to the audience and then turning each one on its head. Several jump-outta-the-seat moments send the audience into peals of horrified screams, then laughter. Haven't been so entertained at Pocket in years. Come early and have a snacky dinner in this venue, which offers beer and wine throughout the performance. Only one intermission also makes this production, nicely directed by Cindee Mayfield, a plus. Through September 26 at Pocket Sandwich Theatre, 5400 E. Mockingbird (across street from Mockingbird Station).
Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 7 p.m. Starts: Sept. 3. Continues through Sept. 26, 2009

Fans Go Wild For Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie At 'Salt' World Premiere!
We've been anticipating the premiere of Salt for months and HollywoodLife.com was front and center on the red carpet in LA last night to bring you all the details you've been waiting for!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were greeted by thousands of screaming fans, July 19, at the LA premiere for Angie's new thriller-action film Salt. HollywoodLife.com watched as Brad and Angelina arrived arm in arm at Grauman's Chinese Theater in downtown LA and immediately walked across the street to sign autographs for the most ecstatic crowd you've ever seen. The fans were screaming, crying and flailing their posters, and magazine covers that Brad and Angie happily signed before walking the red carpet together.
Angelina, 35, looked unbelievable in a black sequined Armani mini, and Brad, 46, was his usual hot self, AND sporting his freshly shaved face! Brad didn't stop for interviews and he quickly walked the carpet and slipped into the theater. Angelina's dad, Jon Voight, 71, arrived with Angie's brother, James Haven, and they too disappeared into the Chinese Theater without speaking to reporters.
We did get a chance to speak to Angelina's Salt co-star Liev Schreiber, who told reporters he and Angelina bonded on set through their kids.
"For me it was mostly about being a dad and her being a mom," he admitted. "That's how we really bonded. That was the fun part because I think we're both at that place with our kids where they're really amazing. Being around three-year-olds, language starts to come out of them and it's a very exciting period in someone's life. Both having children and being parents, it was fun to kind of bond over that while we were shooting."
After the premiere the cast attended the afterparty at Hollywood & Highland's Grand Ballroom — Brad and Angie left around 11pm.

Friends, family gather to mourn teen who drowned in Budd Lake
At the packed funeral service for 15-year-old Nick Cianciotto III on Saturday morning, packs of teens hugged tightly, quietly mouthing to one another, "Are you OK?"
As a testament to Nick's personality, groups of teens from Mount Olive High School, some previously not friends, found a common bond in mourning.
"People who wouldn't be friends are now so close," said classmate Nicolle Bencivengo, 15, dressed in a bright pink hooded sweat shirt standing on the steps of St. Jude Roman Catholic Church in Budd Lake following the service.
She and others recalled their friend as someone with a gift for being liked. His bright brown eyes and dimpled smile won everyone over.
"He was friends with everybody," said longtime friend Lexi Tyminski, 16, of Mount Olive.
During an ice-fishing outing Monday night, Cianciotto and classmate Clyde Schimanski III plunged through 1-inch-thick ice at the center of Budd Lake and drowned.
Cianciotto, who was born in Hackensack and raised in Bogota, had lived in Mount Olive for the past nine years.
The hourlong service led by the Rev. Joseph Orlandi contained no eulogy. Between moving songs that brought mourners to tears, Orlandi delivered a sermon about the lessons Nick taught his community.
"This young man challenges you and me to live fully and to love with all of your heart," he said.
For Nick's parents, and two younger brothers, John and Anthony, seated among other relatives in the front pews, Orlandi advised the community to help lessen the weight of their grief.
"Healing begins by sharing our humanity with one another," he said.
Near the front door of the chapel, a folding table bore the teen's personal items, signs of a life exploding with vigor, cut incomprehensibly short: A snowboard, football trophies, rosary beads, fishing gear. Photos showed a handsome young man.
Since entering high school, Nick had started to demonstrate more responsibility, caring about his grades, friends said.
And at the young age of 15, they said, Nick had figured out one secret to life: Always have a plan. Friends recall the teen always talking, telling stories about what happened to him and what he planned to do. He hoped to build an elevator for his back-yard treehouse and had started to assemble materials.
A budding builder like his father, Nick had created custom shelves in the ceiling above his bed. And the afternoon before he was to go fishing, classmates recall him talking in biology class about getting the necessary gear together.
"He was talking about the tools he needed. He was always prepared and organized," said Lexi.
Budd Lake, the largest in New Jersey, will always have a negative association for Nick and Clyde's classmates.
"I don't want to see that lake anymore," said Lexi. Friends have decided to rename the icy body of water "NC Lake" for Nick and Clyde.
And on Saturday as mourners streamed into the church parking lot, teens huddled around in circles, their faces drained of emotion. For many it was their first experience of grieving someone's death.
"It's so not real. I'm waiting to wake up and get out of this nightmare," said Nicolle.

Survey Says Bank Customers Can't Tell a 'Fee' Service From a 'Free' Service
The survey tested American's knowledge of current bank fees by choosing "real" or "fake." Only one in 20 (five percent) could correctly identify all of the "real" fees listed, and just under one in 10 (ten percent) saw through the "fake" fees. As more Americans are faced with confusing "fee" services versus "free" services, they are susceptible to unnecessary financial losses.

For those looking for an extended holiday break or longer term rental, this apartment makes an excellent choice.
Full on-call concierge service, all cleaning, linens and towels are included for daily and weekly rent.
This is one of the best experiences in a holiday apt I have had over the past 5 years. Wayne is very helpful and communicative host and always attends to our queries in no time at all. We enjoyed our walks to the beach and the fresh food market. There is also a very useful shuttle at the condominium that will take you to Aonang and back. The area around the apt is very laid back and rural, great for evening walks.
The apt has everything that we require to make it feel like home, as Wayne provided us with the basic cooking utensils. The drainage system was only a minor problem during most of our stay. All in all, it felt like home to us,
Highly recommended!
Wayne is helpful and flexible. He provided lots of guidance including how to get to the place, driving from Malaysia, place to visit over there and many more. Awesome person to deal with!
Wayne was fantastic! Picked us up at the airport and dropped us off there too upon leaving (for a fee of course, but cheaper than a taxi). After landing in Krabi, on the ride to the condo, we stopped for a few basic groceries, and Wayne had no problem waiting the bit of extra time. He showed us where everything was, and how to use the WiFi, etc.
The condo itself was great - a little bit small, but we knew that going in - the pictures of the condo itself are EXACTLY representative of what we got, and the space was very functional.
The only negative is the location. When we arrived in the evening, we went for a walk to try and find a random pub or bar where we could just sit outside and enjoy some beer in the warm weather. Nothing. Anywhere. Do even sit on a chair in a public space and have a great, you'd have to get a ride. The condo/hotel provided a shuttle though, which was convenient and not expensive. But yeah, there is NOTHING around within easy walking distance. The views, however, were pretty stunning :)

Heather Boerner, an NYC-based speech-language pathologist explains common treatments for feeding disorders in children, including how to treat reflux, low muscle tone, aspiration, and an oral sensory deficit.
There are many things you can do to improve the variety of textures a child eats, but the type of treatment you provide is indicated by how the child presents and the underlying cause of difficulty with feeding.
1. If it's reflux, we'll start the child on Nexium or a similar drug to mediate the reflux so the child can have a more positive feeding experience and progress in the variety of foods they're eating.
2. A child may present with low muscle tone, which is a common scenario. If they have a weak jaw, fatigue very easily during meals, and have difficulty transitioning from hard textures to soft textures, then I would know that this child needs jaw-strengthening exercises to help improve the strength and mobility of his jaw muscles. I put them on what's called an oral motor program, which involves exercises to improve the strength of the jaw. By training family to do these exercises with the child every day, the child will strengthen their jaw and build up endurance, and they'll consume larger amount of harder texture food as their strength and endurance improve.
3. Signs that a child is aspirating are a wet, gurgly voice after drinking, a consistent low-grade temperature, and stress during feeding. It's important to note that sometimes, in 50 percent of cases, there are no signs of aspiration. The only way to know exactly what's going on is to do a swallow study. A lot of times I will recommend that, before I treat the child, because I want to make sure they're safe. Aspiration happens a lot in premature infants, but as they grow and their bodies gain strength and their physiology matures and strengthens naturally over time, the issue may improve—but it's important to keep an eye on it.
4. When a child walks into my office with an oral sensory deficit, that means they're sensitive to certain textures or temperatures or tastes. An oral-sensory issue means they're less tolerant of a variety of textures. In this instance, I would introduce new textures into the child's diet slowly during mealtime. We would create a food log and determine what textures the child is tolerating well and what textures the child is not tolerating well, and then I would introduce those textures into the child's diet that they're not tolerating, using a progressive approach. First we have the child touch the food, then kiss the food, then lick the food, and then the final step is allowing the food into the mouth to be swallowed. We start working as far away as we can, then slowly move the food closer to the child's mouth until they're able to tolerate it. I always follow the child's lead, and I only go as far as they let me, because a lot of these children have negative experiences involving food and mealtime, so my primary concern when we first start feeding therapy is building trust with that child and creating a positive experience around feeding.
We definitely ask parents to reinforce treatment outside of therapy. Family education and training is an integral part of feeding therapy. See Boerner's tips on how to reinforce feeding therapy at home.

Prior to the Treyvon Martin/George Zimmerman case in Florida, many Louisiana citizens were not even aware that this state, like Florida, has a stand-your-ground law in place. Florida's stand-you-ground law drew national attention when it was brought to light during the trial of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Martin.
Louisiana's stand-your-ground law has been in effect since 2006. This state is one of 20 states that enacted such a law after Florida did so in 2005. The Louisiana stand-your-ground law says this, in the justifiable homicide and use of force statutes:
• "A person who is not engaged in unlawful activity and who is in a place where he or she has a right to be shall have no duty to retreat before using deadly force as provided for in this Section, and may stand his or her ground and meet force with force."
Then, Louisiana's aggressor statute states:
• "A person who is the aggressor or who brings on a difficulty cannot claim the right of self-defense unless he withdraws from the conflict in good faith and in such a manner that his adversary knows or should know that he desires to withdraw and discontinue the conflict.''
Louisiana's stand-your-ground laws were preceded by "castle laws," which are statutes that allow citizens to use force, deadly or otherwise, to protect themselves on their property, or "castle," which includes a person's home or car. In 2006, the stand-your-ground provisions were simply added to the state's castle laws.
Because of the controversy stirred up by the Zimmerman/Martin case, a group called Leaders with Vision recently hosted a forum in Baton Rouge to open discussion about the Louisiana stand-your-ground law.
At the forum, Baton Rouge Police Chief Carl Dabadie said he would prefer a citizen who feels threatened pick up the phone and dial 911 rather than pick up a gun and shoot.
Issues of race and the law were brought up at the gathering. Chief East Baton Rouge Parish Public Defender Mike Mitchell told The Advocate of Baton Rouge that across the nation, in states that have stand-your-ground laws, these laws are not always "applied equally along racial lines.'' In many cases a homicide is justified by the law when a white person kills a black person, but not when it's the other way around, Mitchell said.
Forum participant Shenequa Grey, an associate law professor at Southern University, brought up the point that the Louisiana law is not a license to kill, and she is right.
Mitchell referenced a recent case in Acadiana where the victim of a home burglary held the burglar at gunpoint until police arrived, making the point that just because you can shoot and kill someone, doesn't mean you should if it can possibly be avoided. As citizens, even if defending ourselves and our property, we should consider the gravity of taking a human life and avoid doing so at all cost if we can.
This editorial was written by a member of the American Press Editorial Board. Its content reflects the collaborative opinion of the Board, whose members include Bobby Dower, Jim Beam, Crystal Stevenson and Donna Price.

Paris - Australia's Samantha Stosur reached the quarter-finals of the French Open on Sunday with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Sloane Stephens of the United States.
The US Open champion, seeded sixth, will play Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia for a place in the semi-finals.
Stosur, who was the losing finalist here two years ago, was expected to be too strong and have too much big game experience for the young American, but she struggled to impose her game in the first set.
The 19-year-old Stephens, playing in just her fourth Grand Slam tournament and into the fourth round for the first time, broke to lead 4-3 and then held serve for a 5-3 lead.
Two games later she served to go a set up, but Stosur turned up the power just when she needed it to break back.
The Australian won the next two games to take the set 7-5, breaking to love in the 12th game.
The second set was more one-sided with Stosur breaking early and powering away to reach the last eight.
The defeat for Stephens means that Uzbekistan-born Varvara Lepchencko is the lone American left in the tournament following the early departures of the Williams sisters and the failure of the US men to get one player past the second round.
Lepchencko goes for a quarter-final place on Monday with a match against fourth seed Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic.

Queens Republicans Host Party At Roma View Restaurant
The following was submitted by Kevin Moroney on behalf of the Rockaway Republicans.
Queens Republicans partied hard at the Roma View Catering Hall in Howard Beach on October 5 at the annual Queens County Dinner. County Chairman State Senator Serph Maltese, in a rare political race to retain his seat in the New York State Senate, played host to a number of GOP candidates in the area including gubernatorial hopeful John Faso, U.S. Senatorial hopeful John Spencer and State Assembly candidate Stu Mirsky, who is one of the few Republicans running in Queens this year.
Despite dismal polling numbers for Republicans in the wake of the Foley scandal and a broad disaffection with the status quo in Albany, Faso and Spencer both delivered upbeat speeches, promising their supporters the chance at a surprise upset if they can get their vote out.
Mirsky, who didn't speak and was recovering from a recent elbow fracture, told supporters afterward that the key to winning was getting the message out that Republicans, at the grassroots level, were all about change. He stressed his desire to shake up the incumbent status quo when he gets to Albany by reforming the rules that currently impede state legislators from proposing and voting on legislation and by implementing methods to achieve real spending reductions.
The Republicans partied into the night, enjoying Roma View's fine Italian cuisine and a dance band brought in for the occasion. Mirsky noted, "A hard election year doesn't have to be a disaster for us if we can find a way to let folks know what we actually stand for. We want political competition, systematic reform and tax and spending control. That's a winning message, if we can make ourselves heard above the usual election year din."
