And really I'm the only one who works on the music plugin. So, yeah. I'd think that the computer was too slow, but it's only MP3's... I have an idea, though; let me get back to you on it. Not odd; that one's definitely connected to the speed of the machine. Not in a completely straightforward way, though. I've written about this extensively elsewhere, but the bottom line is that I haven't been able to fix it, except by using a faster machine. The same #5-6 errors afflict the music plugin, although this is a separate issue from the skipping.

Shaw and Global News are pleased to announce the investment of $150,000 in monetary and in-kind broadcast support to help local youth at risk within Halifax's North End. Coinciding with today's official opening of Global News' new broadcast centre and studio at 2110 Gottingen Street, this initiative will continue throughout a three-year period with the goal of helping those in need within the organization's new North End neighbourhood.
"When the decision was made to move our studio, we knew immediately that we had an opportunity to help grow and perpetuate positive change within the city's North End," says Jim Haskins, Global Maritimes Station Manager & News Director. "An overall commitment to community development is something both Shaw and Global News holds very highly. We are humbled to contribute in whatever way we can, and look forward to developing new bonds and forging new relationships with our North End neighbours."
Shaw and Global News' North End charitable program will begin by making donations to two worthwhile causes in the area:
Phoenix – A not-for-profit, community-based organization, Phoenix provides programs designed to help at-risk and homeless youths with the opportunities they need to succeed. A recognized leader in providing ground-breaking, motivational initiatives, Phoenix aims to help youth by offering services that inspire them to reach their full potential, while creating a healthy and vibrant community overall.
North End Business Association's 2013 North End Youth Week – With a mandate towards helping disaffected youth in the area, this week-long event and activities targeted towards youths at risk of leaving school early. Launching this Spring, the North End Youth Week will provide a range of activities, including Karate and archery, to voice and drama class, and business courses. The week-long event aims to show that positive results can come out of offering decent programming to youths who are positively engaged.
Shaw and Global News' charitable commitment to the area will continue functioning with an overarching focus to assess other youth needs and initiatives within Halifax's North End. Shaw and Global News are committed to telling stories and reflecting on issues of most importance to the area, with the local Global News management team continuing to put a spotlight on those most need of support.

Here in Cali the state will buy any "junker" from you for $1000 but you do have to file some simple paperwork and then wait for your confirmation. Think we waited just over 2 weeks? We turned in my partner's rattletrap 1995 Nissan Altima, with broken odometer and mystery mileage, last Saturday. Didn't take too long once at the "dismantler." Left with a $1000 check. Back in late August when I almost bought a VW Jetta SportWagen diesel, the dealer made big deal out of being super generous on the Altima trade-in of offering $200. We didn't know about the Cali *****back program so we almost went for it, but someone was watching out for me and we decided we needed to wait a bit. Ended up at the BMW dealership...But when gas prices went sky high recently in cali, and diesel was less than regular, I almost wondered if I shouldn't have gotten the VW...
You can Google "Voluntary Accelerated vehicle retirement." Love that name. Car has to be at least driveable enough to get it on the dismantler's lot and on the scale. There was a dude with another Altima there who had to call AAA to start his car right in front of the scale.

I live in Atlanta, Georgia, one block from the Atlanta Zoo. Sometimes I cansit on my front porch swing and hear the elephants and giraffes singing. What a wonderful tune they can croon.
My mother was a teacher for over thirty years. My father was a carpenter, painter and furnace man, until he died at the age of 52. I was very sad when he died and it took me many years to get over it. I was in my first year of college.
My freshman English teacher, a woman named Miss Linda Hodge, at North Carolina Central University was the first person to tell me that I should become a writer. (If you know her tell her I am trying to find her) At that time I had never met a black writer and couldn't imagine they could exist. Now, I know better. In fact many of the writers that I loved at the time, including James Weldon Johnson and Langston Hughes were still alive but I didn't know it. Not meeting them is one of my greatest regrets.I was born in a small town, Burlington, North Carolina. My mother and brother and many cousins still live there. When I grew up my grandmother lived right next door. And many of my aunts, uncles and cousins lived on the same street. My father was a wonderful man who loved to take me every where he went. I have one brother who is 10 and 1/2 months younger than me.
When I was a little girl I loved to tell stories. My brother, who we called Eddie Joe, would give me his lunch money, his allowance and all his deserts just to hear one of my stories. So you see, I've always been a storyteller.
I love to write for children. And one day I hope you'll feel the same way too.
I'm married to Talib Din. My husband is a great man. He is an Indo-European Linguist. That means he studies the origin and syntax of languages. He is also a musician. He has played every instrument except the cello. He is kind, gentle and strong at the same time. I think if you met him you would love him too.
I have two daughters that are already adults. One is a visual artist and the other is a former rapper, writer and business woman. They are both very kind people who love and embrace everyone. I am very proud of them. I also have a granddaughter who is seventeen-years-old and a three-year-old grandson.

One of the big bonuses of Apple's new iPhone 4 is the greatly improved video camera -- the images are much sharper than before, and they can be saved in 720p HD video. In my limited tests over the last few days, they seem to be on par with a good consumer video camera like Cisco's Flip.
And for the first time, you can now edit your footage directly on the iPhone, complete with open and close menus, transitions, titles, music and -- if you're willing to really work at it -- narration.
To make the accompanying video, I downloaded Apple's new $4.99 iMovie app, the lite version of the software that comes free with new Mac computers. It's a quick little tour of the Farmer's Market shopping center in Los Angeles.
Here's what you need to know, if you're going to give iMovie for the iPhone a spin:
-- First, shoot your clips.
-- Open the iMovie app and start a new project.
-- Tap the icon to add the clips, and pinch the clips to access the trimmer tool.
-- Double click the project to bring open the menu, which is where you add one of Apple's homey menu screens and titles.
-- Add music from your iTunes library.
-- No need to save the project. iPhone does it for you.
-- Click an icon to send the video as an e-mail, or export it in full quality.
Now for the fancy stuff: If you want to do something with the high-resolution version of your movie, you'll have to synch the phone with your computer first. It's the only way to get the video off the phone in high-resolution.
When you synch up the phone and computer, your clips -- both edited, and master clips -- end up in either the iPhoto application on Mac computers, or Windows Photo Gallery.
How about adding narration? In making the video here, what I wanted to do was add my narration over Apple's supplied background music. But with iMovie on the iPhone, I'm only allowed one audio track. So instead, I just took my completed video, threw it into Final Cut Studio, and did the narration there.
But I did go through the process of doing the narration on the iPhone, just to go through the steps. Here's how to do it:
-- Record your voice using the iPhone's Voice Memos feature.
-- Synch it back to the computer.
-- In iTunes, make a playlist, and add the voice memo to the playlist. Synch it back to the phone, and it should show up in your iTunes. Then add the voice track to the movie.
Bottom line on the new iMovie: Apple's supplied templates and tools to make a cool looking, simple video are stellar -- if you're willing to take the time. Also, at a charge of $4.99, it costs a little more than a cup of coffee to spring for nice looking video presentation.
On the downside, the synching steps are a pain, and Apple's templates are so commonly used, your videos are in danger of looking identical to the next user.

Neutering on Monday - nervous!!
My GSD broke his leg just before 1yo and wound up having three surgeries, and a five month period of complete confinement - no playing, no running, no jumping, certainly no further socializing with other people and animals. This was a horrible tragedy. He had been so very thoroughly socialized prior to this. When he was able to get out and about it was winter, so things were limited. And now he is full grown at about 120#. (Please don't tell me no GSD should ever be this large, the size of his snout is even larger than sizing charts for muzzles. He is big and beautiful.) Now, he is somewhat aggressive. He is hard to handle because of his size. He doesn't care about our electric fence when the poor cross-country runner comes by our house - he will go right through the fence and chase the poor guy with his hackles up and all, one scary sight. UPS will no longer come to our door. Taking him out in public on his leash is a nightmare, as sometimes he will decide someone is a threat and he goes all ape **** on them. I can't imagine what would happen if we encountered a roaming dog his size...there would be blood. So, we have an appointment to have him neutered. This is only hoping it will help us work with his natural instincts to better train him to be our family pet and still maintain his guarding prowess; we hope he will be less aggressive when he really should not be. We take our dogs everywhere, and he can't be acting like that when we take him camping, to soccer tournaments, etc. He has never bitten anyone and we have multiple cats and chickens that he has never considered hurting. On occasion he has mouthed an arm while playing (which we don't allow) and even with no pressure applied at all you can tell he could snap your arm in a heartbeat!
A professional trainer would be an excellent idea.:)
For you and your big boy.

Yes I say Trainer... a good trainer.
That and a good muzzle until you figure this out. Also, just out of curiosity, do you let him outside alone? Is he crate trained? and how is he chasing UPS and runners... makes me think he is off lead.. which he should NEVER ever be at this moment.
Unfortunately we live in a remote area and trainers are few and far between. I took him when he was younger but she was 45 minute drive each way. And now, she is recovering from a broken leg herself.
I do have a muzzle and we are working with him to take treats from it now.
We live on a 30 acre farm and have 3 acres fenced with InvisibleFence. None of our dogs are ever tied up, except this one in particular, for short periods of time when we are not in earshot of him. (Taking a shower for example.) We do not leave them tied up alone either. The times he has chased a person, someone has been home/outside with him. If we leave, we usually lock him in the house or take him with us.

Neutering will not fix training issues.
Is he an outside dog?
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
No he is not an outside dog. He sleeps beside my bed and follows me around wherever I go. We have a dog door and they go in and out as needed.
I was under the impression and have been told by doctors and veterinarians alike that neutering tends to reduce, or take the edge off aggressiveness.
254 Attachment(s)
While I am no expert.. I would assume that may be true if the dog hasn't fully matured yet, that is MAY help.. but really I have no idea. But these behaviors are already engraved into him and it doesn't sound promising that he will stop unless you start training and learn to manage it. The 45 minute drive to trainer would be worth it to me if I had a dog with issues like that. Not just for the dog but for you too.. it is creating a liability that doesn't need to be there. I have driven 1.5 hours to a good trainer when I had serious things to work on.
Neutering the dog will not change his temperament and I agree with the others you have training issues and it may be due to the seclusion -- hope it works out.
He should only be outside on a lead.....a dog with aggression issues should not be outside unless well contained and he has proven the invisible fence does nothing. Either leash him or get a trust worthy fence. And neutering can increase issues in some cases.

Need to put insulation back, what's best way?
2 Attachment(s)
The hall bathroom demo is 95% complete short of the area above the tub/shower. All the walls in the bathroom were insulated with R-13 paper faced fiberglass insulation even though all the walls are interior to another conditioned space. Anybody, know why???
So thinking along this theme I was thinking the insulation above shower was in error as well. Turns out this insulation (blow in) is in the right place. Space above is un-conditioned, see photo.
I am planning on putting recessed wet location lighting above the tub/shower. I have no available access from above. How can I get the insulation back into this space? I am thinking put my lights in, put in some un-faced insulation held up by "blow in netting" across joists, lay in a long piece(s) from open side and try to flip it over the top of the lights and then put additional piece underneath and hold up with netting?
Can you do this? Will this even work? Am I forced to cut a hole in the loft wall and try to refill from above? This sounds like an easier path but the wall has blow-in insulation held against it with netting as I can make it out while looking through area I opened. Hopefully, I can be successful with Plan A.
Oh, No!
I just realized the entire side of the house, including the future master bath remodel is done this way! Should I find a location to create permanent access door???
Bathrooms with steam showers are insulated
I insulated the wall between the bathroom & bedroom to cut down on noise
I stopped about 12" above the tub
Possible house was added onto & exterior walls are now interior ?
And in some vases people heat one room & not another
My last house I insulated all walls for the back bedroom since I didn't heat it
My understanding is you are required to have an access door to the "attic"
Good thing you told me as now I will need to check and see if local code requires an access door. Not sure if you have to be able to access all unconditioned spaces. I will be fearful moving around in there since they have it super deep with blow-in insulation you can't see the joists. Owner builder did work himself without any code research I see. House seems to be full of overkill.
International Residential Code 2003 requires any attic area exceeding 30sf in area and that have a vertical height of 30 inches or more.
R807.1 Attic Access"In buildings with combustible ceiling or roof construction, an attic access opening shall be provided to attic areas that exceed 30 square feet (2.8m sq) and have a vertical height of 30 inches (762mm) or greater.
The rough-framed opening shall not be less than 22 inches by 30 inches (559mm by 762mm) and shall be located in a hallway or other readily accessible location. A 30-inch (762mm) minimum unobstructed headroom in the attic space shall be provided at some point above the access opening."
:furious: :furious: :furious: I'm hoping for 29"
Has anyone had issues with light failure?
I was also wondering if I install four recessed cans and since I will not have reasonable location for access how much concern should I have with being able to access recessed lights? Are they known to fail? Low voltage vs. line?

Greetings all and belated happy 2015.
The Tides of War team had been rather busy over the last 2 months so its time to share the fruits of their labors.
Firstly our community manager, Darkforce has put together a code of conduct which is to be followed when playing on the Open Beta server. This can be viewed here: Freeworldstidesofwar.com
The beta has also been updated with a few balance fixes and many fixes for bugs that our community has reported to us over time. This should lead to an overall more pleasant experience when on the server. the full list can be read below:
FriendlyFire wrote: -Tripled in-system hyperspace tunnel length.
-Eliminated YT-1300 "wreck", Z-95 Mark I and BTL-S3 Y-Wing from starter loadouts, replacing them with the standard YT-1300, the civilian Howlrunner and the Supa, respectively.
-Cleaned up old hyperjump buoys.
-Added mc90 normal map.
-Unified docking ability of freighters: transports can all use berths, freighters can only use large moors; corvettes and gunships may also use berths.
-Reduced collision elasticity.
-Removed Laseel from files as a base.
-Doubled baseline speed of mc90 and ISD.
-Fixed CC-7700 loadouts not having the gravity well projectors.
-Doubled interdiction range of Immobilizer-418 to 4x20k = 80k, tripled range of CC-7700 to 60k.
-Reduced capital weapon dispersion angles across the board, reduced muzzle velocity.
-Halved mag-pulse range.
-Decreased hull damage of mc90 super turbos.
-Increased damage of ISD turbos and energy damage of ISD ions.
-Increased explosion radius and damage of proton bombs, increased explosion radius of assault concussion missiles.
-Reduced max speed/range of proton bombs.
-Miscellaneous changes to effects.
-Player capital ships do not collide with NPCs, but collide with other players.
-Improved jump animation so the ship no longer "flips" around when docking; also removed the point where all objects in the system disappeared.
-Mag-pulses and ion-pulses properly cause the ship to drift.
-Reduced starsphere brightness to more sane levels and tweaked generation algorithm to look less pixellated.
-Moved many data files to My Games\Freeworlds, including all dump files, option files, logs, etc.
-Certain tips are now "blocking" tips and prevent other tips from popping over them, which makes it less overwhelming.
-Hyperspace tunnel is now of the correct radius.
-Removed "chance to drop" system from hyperspace: players now collide with the tunnel and take shield damage; when shields hit zero, the player is dropped off.
-Distinguish between a mag-pulse and an ion-pulse; ions are stronger and are the only ones that can affect larger freighters and capital ships. Successive disruptions stack in time.
-Proper, super shiny specular reflections on all ships.
-Changed lighting model a bit.
-A few more safety checks around hyperspace.
-Simplified and automated a lot of the background balance of hyperspace tunnel lengths and difficulty.
-Fixed numerous issues with hyperspace tunnel rendering, particularly at steep angles versus the +Z vector.
-Completely redesigned equipment regeneration on docking: should be more reliable, less likely to kick for cheating, less likely to replace valid equipment or double/triple equipment.
-If a player disconnects or F1's out while in hyperspace, the player is dropped as though their shields had failed.
-Staying idle or moving backwards in hyperspace deals shield damage.
-If a player fails to receive the exit packet for leaving hyperspace, they are moved to their destination before being kicked to preserve server stability.
-Characters are saved right before jumping in hyperspace.
-Completely overrode FLServer behavior for sending updates to the client about missiles. Missiles should move much more smoothly and should look like they connect with their target more reliably.
-Cargo is lost if player drops from hyperspace (whether through F1/disconnect or through losing shields).
-Shields are now dropped if the player logs in while in space. Docking/undocking will regenerate the shields. Log off docked to avoid this!
-Fully-fledged interdiction system is now in place. If a player crosses through an interdiction field, they will be dropped somewhere in the field. This is determined in real-time, not at buoy creation, so fields MUST be active at the moment of the drop to work. Players are guaranteed to drop at 75% of the interdiction radius or less.
-F1'ing in while in space causes a 5 seconds radar pulse that broadcasts the player's location to ALL other players in the system. Log off docked to avoid this!
-Dropping (as in, shield failure or F1/disconnect) from hyperspace causes a 10 seconds radar pulse.
-Increased hyperspace cooldowns slightly.
-Cooldowns do not regenerate while in hyperspace.
-Added lots of new UI elements, collectively named "Info". This includes detailed overlays on spawned gates showing time to stable/despawn and instability %, target tracking overlay, missile lock overlay, cruise delay info, hyperdrive cooldown info, hyperspace distance from tunnel edge, etc.
-Tradelanes are no longer dockable; instead, they indicate areas into which plotting a jump is free (no impact on cooldown, almost instantaneous stability). Attempting to dock with a tradelane will automatically plot a jump to the connected tradelane instead.
-As a result of this, interdictors affect precalculated hyperlanes as well.
-Hooked death cameras so they render properly!
-Hyperspace drop-out orients players correctly.
-Possible fix for phantom gate spawns.
-More leniency on hyperspace checks.
-Warning sounds for hyperspace.
-Decreased god rays sample count, increasing performance.
-More aggressive shadow rendering culling, resulting in significant performance gains.
-Smarter light equip culling, increasing performance.
-FPS may be as much as doubled or more depending on the circumstances!
-Sped up jump in/out animations
-Completely redesigned weapon linking, should now work for all ships on all configurations, even with weapons turned off
-Reset some reputations, Jedi and Sith are a lot more neutral now, Hutt may attack less (they will still attack an enemy's allies if the enemy shows up)
-Eliminated Jedi and Sith spawns from everywhere aside from their respective expected locations
-Hyperspace data now resets on undocking, which should help with the exploding on undocking bug
-As a stopgap measure, there should now always be missions across the Bastion system for Imperial players
-Removed all remaining fake atmosphere zones (producing the weird burning effect)
-Formos, Avon, Radnor now have a gravity well
-Resized Dathomir, Fresia, Garqi, Gamorr, Sleheyron, Teth gravity wells
-Corrected some infocard errors with many gates
-Removed containers from Sullust
-Unified all gravity wells to show up on navmap
-Eliminated gravity well for asteroid belt in Bespin
-Renamed Coruscant -> Borleias tradelane
-Golans deal 5x more damage and have infinite power
-New weapon linking works on K-Wing, YT-series
-Fixed YT-1300 guns having different rates of fire
-Moved Coruscant -> Kashyyyk jump to avoid jumping through a planet
-Added missing shipdealer to KDY base selling the Cloakshape, Toscan and Supa (KDY Military Research)
-Moved lane in Bastion to make it a bit easier to navigate
-Missile explosions against shields have been completely rebuilt, bypassing FL's standard setup; as such, missiles should now damage the shields of all capitals reliably (including mc90/Neb-B)
-Better wreck rendering
-Removed space dust
-Crashed sessions on the server should now get kicked when attempting to rejoin
-Fixed tradelanes requiring cooled down drive.
-Improved client-side stability in hyperspace.
-Corrected visual glitches in hyperspace tunnel.
-Cooldown notifier is properly updated when hyperspace plotting fails.
-Modified behavior of hyperspace plotting: will now attempt to jump towards the selected target, or the first waypoint if no selection.
-Improved weapon linking, now actually works when disabling weapons, attempts to keep using current fire mode if it can when switching weapons on or off.
-Removed erroneous jump to a dev system from Kuat.
-Fixed lighting error in hyperspace.
-Properly released hyperspace textures on device loss/game exit.
-Now using proper lock flags for hyperspace textures.
-Added additional check on Firemode loading.
-Permanently disabled 3D sounds. Do not try to reactivate them, please.
-Fixed conflict between mouse lag fix and star rendering.
-Rebalanced TIE Interceptor
-MC30c bombs and a few other ammo types are now available everywhere
-Possible fix for crash on dock, though we have been unable to replicate
-Fixed VSD energy drain
Also a reminder that both the New Republic and the Galactic Empire are still actively recruiting pilots to serve on the front lines. Anyone interested should register on our forums and contact the respective faction leaders for more information.

I wasn't confused, and I did looked into this mod. I know it has AI controlled ships, I just prefer a singleplayer game where u don't need to rely on a server or internet connection to play, 'cuz every server-sided game comes to an end. It's just my opinion. Multiplayer is always great, but as a optional mode, not as the whole game center-mode.
They said with release they will give server files so you can host your own server but i guess the game is still in beta
is this still being worked on?
i have not gotten any mod watch update news in awhile.
or is the news being posted elsewhere now?
They're pretty good about either releasing a dev blog or lore update (note mod diverges from legends-canon around 11ABY) weekly here: Galacticnews.net
thanks for telling me!
now what time can i see the most people in the server?
i live in missouri if that helps you calculate
Times really vary; players usually discuss between each other on the Discord server and work out times to play. You'd most likely see some European players on around noonish your time, and the other players mid-evening
Hope this helps!
So i cant accesss this mod without an internet connection?
Been following this game on and off for years, and it is still not really playable and still has no population to actualyl play with.
The mod itself is of great quality and the things they have done to the engine werenot thought possible. The people contributing to this mod are talented.
What makes me really sad is not only have I never really been able to play this mod, but that it's never going to live, it will forever be dead. Even if they finished it now, the population would not grow to a point where it would really be worth playing at all, and that is especially true because of Star Citizen or any games like it.
While star citizen has one of the worse communities I have ever seen in gaming, has developers who are money hungry and are taking a slow ride with this game's development in favor of producing more microtransaction content and more ways to squeeze money out of their fans, and have turned the game into a p2w mess with ships costing hundreds to thousands of real dolars. It still has potential to be a great game, and a modding scene has is already around planning out mods, including a star wars mod for the game.
It would be great to see these modders take a shot at star citizen (if that game actually ever releases that is).
I have serious doubts that Star Citizen will ever have a strong modding scene. CryEngine is *not* mod-friendly and the game is so heavily focused on selling ships with real money, making mods available (and thus opening the gates for people just unlocking all ships with a mod) sounds counterintuitive. They also have been extremely evasive about what kinds of servers people could host - the current best guess is that you'd only have "deathmatch" servers, with the persistent universe being exclusive to the official (and thus unmodded) servers.
There's a reason why we're still on Freelancer: it remains the best platform for making a persistent universe space sim mod.
We've also not said our last word yet. We're just trying to round off the mod a bit so it's friendlier to solo players and new players in the hope of achieving higher player numbers.
A year or two ago on the forums (I refuse to go back on there, it's way too cancerous) there were quite a few groups getting together to plan for various different mods, from star wars to warhammer 40k to star trek, there was quite a few cool conversion mod ideas. Will they ever actually acomplish their goals? No idea.
So far the only "modding" that is able to be done is make custom ships in the engine, they even had a whole crappy webseries dedicated to some competition for who could make the best ship, and the winner got to have their game put in the game which was then sold to the players and they (assumingly) made some percentage of that profit from it.
You are right that they refuse to really acknowledge or talk about the dedicated server/private server stuff, have only seen Chris Roberts mention it once. They seem to have made a promise they later did not want to back up and just kinda hope it gets forgotten about. Including the "sandbox" single player mode, and the co-op. And they keep insisting that buying ships is not P2W and that it's to "support the developers", including the ability to buy in-game money before launch as well.
But, assuming that they actually add the option to host your own dedicated servers, and mods are being released, I can't say many people are going to continue to be playing freelancer. Maybe people will come back once in awhile but most won't be playing it consistently, I know I won't be if star citizen releases and actually keeps it's word.
I remember them promising to release modding tools as well, so if that ends up being true, I can't see the game not having a modding scene, and attracting even more people over.
I love this mod, and all the work and dedication that has been put into it, but I just don't see it holding out against something like Star Citizen. But either way, the day you guys "finish" the mod, I will be there, and will stick around if theres others around too.

Creation of man in the Rg Veda
Eastern tradition
9 p.m., June 28
Dear Matthew Alice:
I just borrowed another 20 bucks from my dad. The 20 in question had red dye along one edge. Was it involved in a bank robbery� you know, exploding dye packs and all? My dad says he's repaid his debt to society and swears he hasn't robbed any banks lately.
Eric, San Diego
In my 70, 80 years of toiling on behalf of public enlightenment, I've found the two hardest institutions to wring info from are the Federal Reserve and Disneyland. So, battered and bruised from duking it out with the bureaucrats, I know only that the dye is applied to the edge of a stack of bills during the counting and wrapping process at Federal Reserve banks, which supply our local banks with bills and coins and destroy tattered greenbacks washed too many times in our jeans pockets. The dye marking has some meaning, but apparently that's classified info, much too sensitive to be entrusted to the common man. Or even the uncommon Matthew Alice.

Move LA Mission
Move LA's mission is to build a broad constituency that will advocate for the development of a comprehensive, diverse, robust, clean and financially sound public transportation system for Los Angeles County, champion strategies to accelerate its implementation and policies that will ensure prosperous and healthy neighborhoods around stations where people of all ages and incomes can live, work and thrive.
History of Move LA
The Los Angeles Transportation Challenge
Los Angeles County is one of the most important economic and cultural engines in the United States. We are also America's gateway to the growing economies of the Pacific Rim making the efficiency of our transportation system a crucial issue for the world. Famously, our community is also the most auto dependent in the nation with the most congested highways and the worst air pollution. Over the past several years, traffic congestion has become increasingly severe while gasoline prices have soared, prompting significant public outcry and worries of economic and environmental decline. Public concern over the state of our transportation system has greatly increased.
These public concerns are amplified by an anticipated 3 million more residents expected in Los Angeles County over the next 30 years. Put most starkly, without a greatly improved transportation system with significantly enhanced capacity, Los Angeles County may be unable to sustain its historic economic leadership role, may see its quality of life seriously deteriorate for all classes, and fail to fulfill its responsibility to reduce greenhouse gases.
This would be a tragedy for the nation – and a calamity for all who live, work, or conduct business here. It would especially aggrieve those generations who will follow us.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) estimates that there are over $60 billion in new priority transportation programs and projects, mostly transit, needed for Los Angeles County to address its current congestion. Yet, in 2007, LA Metro announced that, absent some new significant source, there would be no new money available to enhance transportation capacity here for the next 30 years.
Out of the urgency of this situation and the sense of opportunity posed by the upcoming 2008 Presidential Elections, Move LA was born. Convening the business, labor, environmental and social justice communities into dialogue about the urgency of this problem, the range of possible solutions, and the opportunities available to Los Angeles County, Move LA created the coalition which led to the formulation and passage of Measure R on the November, 2008 ballot. The result: voter approval for a 1/2-cent sales tax increase that will provide an estimated $40 billion in funding for transportation projects in Los Angeles County over the next 30 years. Approximately 70% of these funds will be used for clean public transit projects and programs.
Seeking Solutions, Building Coalitions: the Origins of Move LA
October, 2007: Move LA was initially formed as a working group by Denny Zane, former Mayor of Santa Monica and former Executive Director of the Coalition for Clean Air, with the assistance and support of Terry O'Day, Executive Director, and Diane Forte, Director of Sustainability Projects, both of Environment Now. Zane convened more than 30 leaders representing business, labor, health, environment, social justice, and local communities to examine, in detail, a variety of proposals to identify new sources of funding to meet the current and future transportation needs of Los Angeles County. The working group initially operated under the name the Los Angeles County Transportation Funding Collaborative (LACTFC). Those attending the initial meetings included representatives of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, the Valley Industry and Commerce Association, the Westside Council of Chambers, Urban Partners, JSM Companies, the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, Laborers' Local 300, the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers, the United Hotel and Restaurant Employees, the Subway to the Sea Coalition, Environment Now, the Sierra Club, the California League of Conservation Voters, the American Lung Association of California, the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy, and the University of California-Los Angeles Institute of Transportation Studies.
The most significant activity of LACTFC was to facilitate and lead the conference on transportation, held in January 2008.
Those present agreed to the creation of LACTFC and to sponsor and participate in a conference on transportation funding targeted for January of 2008.
January 10, 2008: The It's Time to Move LA conference was held in downtown LA at the Los Angeles Cathedral. More than 350 participants attended. Speakers included Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, Assemblyman Mike Feuer, LA County Federation of Labor's Maria Elena Durazo, LA Area Chamber of Commerce President David Fleming, Phil Angelides, Mary Nichols, and a number of transportation experts, as well as environmental, business, labor leaders and community members. The entire focus of the conference was on how to best finance essential transportation investments in Los Angeles County: Where's the money?
The clear conclusion of the conference was that a sales tax increase was the measure most likely to generate sufficient revenues to make a difference and most likely to gain voter approval if .the right coalition could be convened and an effective campaign organized.
After changing its name to Move LA, the budding organization:
• Convened briefing sessions for environmental organizations with LA County Metro staff to discuss the Draft Long Range Transportation Plan for LA County (DLRTP) and how projects and programs might be funded. The goal was to quickly advance environmentalists understanding of the challenges and opportunities in Los Angeles County for expansion of public transit systems and services and how environmentalists can play a serious role in countywide transportation efforts.
• Convened briefing sessions for leaders of the Labor Movement in Los Angeles on the DLRTP with LA County Metro staff. Move LA's goal was to facilitate the involvement of the labor movement in transportation planning discussions for Los Angeles County and to enhance their interest in proposals for new transportation funding proposals.
• Established working relationship with staff and leaders of the Los Angeles County Area Chamber of Commerce, the San Fernando Valley Industry and Commerce Association (VICA), and other business associations as they convened their members in dialogue about the need for new funding sources to implement the Long Range Transportation Plan.
• Worked with the office of Assemblyman Mike Feuer to develop transportation funding legislation concepts. Out of the concepts came several bills that were submitted to the legislature, including AB 2321 which provided authorization for Los Angeles County Metro to place a 1/2-cent sales tax measure on the ballot to raise more than $40 billion over 30 years to pay for investments in expanded transit services and highway efficiency. The bill ultimately cleared the legislature and was signed into law by Gov. Schwarzenegger, enabling Measure R on the November, 2008, ballot.
• Convened transportation leaders from Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and Los Angeles Counties to discuss ways to get Republican support in the State legislature for the Feuer bills.
• Commissioned a poll of Los Angeles County voters regarding possible sales tax for transportation: The result of the poll of 500 LA County voters showed 69% support for a sales tax measure for transportation. The result has provided crucial confidence for Metro decision-makers considering placing a sales-tax measure on the ballot in November, 2008.
Move LA support, LA County Metro takes a key step
At its April 24 meeting the LA County Metro Board directed its staff to begin preparation of a sales tax measure for the November, 2008, election. If approved the measure would provide $38 billion over 30 years for LA County transportation projects and programs. Move LA mobilized all testimony in support of this action, including the LA County Federation of Labor, Laborers Local 300, Ironworkers, Sierra Club, Coalition for Clean Air, and others.
Move LA achieves consensus across sectors
On June 18, 2008, Move LA convened over 30 organizations from the business, labor, and environmental communities to discuss the proposed 1/2-cent sales tax measure. The meeting was convened by Move LA Executive Director Denny Zane and hosted by Maria Elena Durazo, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor. In attendance were leaders from business community organizations such as the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, the Los Angeles Business Federation, the Valley Industry and Commerce Association, the Central City Association of Los Angeles, Majestic Realty, and the Automobile Club of Southern California (AAA-CA). Leaders from multiple labor unions, including LA-OC Building Trades Council, Operating Engineers Local 12, Laborers Local 300, and SEIU Local 721 participated, as well as leaders from environmental organizations such as the Sierra Club, Green LA, CLCV Ed Fund, Environment Now, Coalition for Clean Air, the Transit Coalition, So Cal Transit Advocates, and the Subway to the Sea Coalition.
The Key Accomplishment
Based on testimony from multiple labor, business and environmental leaders mobilized by Move LA, on July 24, 2008, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority voted to place 1/2-cent sales tax on the November, 2008, Presidential ballot. This was Measure R. If approved, Measure R would provide $40 billion over 30 years to build multiple transit projects including a major expansion of bus service throughout Los Angeles County, the Wilshire Blvd. Subway to the Sea, the Exposition Light Rail to Santa Monica, extend the Gold Line from Pasadena to Claremont, the Crenshaw Blvd LRT/BRT project, etc.
On November 4, 2008, Los Angeles County voters approved Measure R by the necessary two-thirds majority. Measure R would constitute the beginning of a transformation of the Los Angeles County transportation system, marking the first major opportunity to shift LA from an auto-dominant community to a community with a robust transit system. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Assemblyman Mike Feuer, author of the key state enabling legislation making this sales tax measure possible, singled-out Move LA and its Executive Director Denny Zane, for its leadership in moving key constituencies and the MTA Board forward on this issue.
Moving Forward
To build the coalition, last year, Move LA sponsored a series of conversations and meetings with specific constituencies – business, labor, environmental and social justice – leading to a conference in January, 2008. The goal was to identify the best funding options for LA and ultimately champion their adoption.
The goal of identifying the best policy options as the result of consultation and dialogue between leaders of key constituencies informed by the best expert advice is the hallmark of Move LA's approach to the vital issue of transportation system development in Los Angeles County. This approach is reflected in the organizations Mission and Goals, reflected above.
Move LA needs to continue this dialogue to build and sustain a broad base of agreement within the Los Angeles County community regarding the need for public investment to ensure a clean, sustainable, efficient transportation system, including a robust transit system, supported by an adequate and reliable funding base.
Move LA activities have benefitted from foundation support, including support from the Annenberg Foundation, Bohnett Foundation, Environment Now, and the Lawrence Foundation as well as contributions from business, labor and the LA County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Was thinking maybe they was just blocking me and trying not to pay me, but i know this site is one of the most legit sites online. It has to be some technical issue from what i am gathering.
Been down for ages - it was down for some time last night and it's still down now (approx 10.15am), they need to sort this out!!! People are losing money!!!

Is Valerie telling truth about clixsense??? I think she has special message from CLX. But few months ago Clx used to send weekly status to their viewers and recently not ....ask Val why???. Is val is imposter and why she has a message from CLX always while others not???
i cant access my account till now, is there some serious issues there, or its my account or area. coz its showing that clixsense is up and working.
i fix my problem using google dns developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using
No, not yet. I am going back to Ayuwage to complete my $1.00 earning for today.
very depressed now no Clixsense.com missing out of money very sad loved doing it a lot
down for me in philippines since yesterday afternoon. all will be fine i'm sure.
Unfortunately, in Portugal, Clixsense remains inactive. Hoping confirmation of up and reachable arrive here soon too.
Nerdbux was also hit with a DDOS attack today, but I am confident that Clixsense will do all it can to get the site up and running again. We have to stay patient, and spreading rumours about the site going out of business or turning into a scam should NOT be listened to or worse spread!
Clixsense is down so don't listen to idiots telling you to change things on your own computer! That's the Clixsense forum's standard answer when anything goes wrong. There is NOTHING wrong with your computer - it's THEIR problem!
Seems to be alive, just made some clicks and some videos (from Germany). DNS has five IPs foe clixsense: 188.8.131.52, 18.104.22.168, 184.108.40.206, 22.214.171.124 and 126.96.36.199. Try to ping them.
according to clixsense team they say this: Clixsense is down at the moment. According to Clixsense Admin, Clixsense is currently having a DNS issue right now. The Clixsense Technical Team are currently working on it. Hoping that the site will get back online SOON.
Yup it appears that this site is down for everyone at the moment! 14/10/2013 1:36 U.S eastern standard time! for me
Just for the record there is a little thing called 'Back Ups' and the reason for back ups is that data won't be lost. I don't know why they are down but I can guess. It could be a server issue. It could be a server outage. It could be a dos attack. I don't know of course but I would guess with a lot of surety that you don't have to worry about your funds. If you are the type to get bent out of shape about your funds, then you should always cash out your funds when you have the stated amount to do so, $8 and $6.
Oh one more thing, it could be a transfer meaning that it may need time to propagate to your internet service provider. So if you see some here are able to access it while others are not, be sure to do a clean sweep on your computer by clearing cache, history, cookies, reboot.
I was just on it. I completed one paid to call offer for $5 and then I had just finished a second one and was getting ready to say yes that I completed it to get my $3.33 and it didn't load so i refreshed and it was down. This is aggravating! I had better get my second payment!
okay, so this is a long time down for them. But for there history I guess it is not to bad. I am sure they will recover from the issue and possibly do something for members.
Is the site down for technical reasons or was it closed? I'm worried I will never get my money (almost $500)...
Just because a website is down, does not mean it is going on a scam list and anyone that even says such a thing, is only displaying their ignorance.
Todays Head lines:: Clixsense.com is going to take a position on scam list soon.
Down this morning - I'm in UK. Managed to click one ad just now and it's gone again!
arrrgggghhh. task, task, task, task. i want my task! hurry up and running again CS!
Wow, I thought it was me. Cleaned my cache and cleared my dns too. Boy I miss the site already.
I'm very glad to know it's not just me yet having problems with Clixsense, but others are too. Nonetheless, I would like for it to get back up and running soon, whenever possible.
Still not working for me. This site says it is up and reachable. But are others still having problems? Frustrating.
Display page is still not properly... what other friends are also experiencing the same thing?
It is not working for me as well, i have tried to load it today few times... with no luck at all :( The page is not coming up properly. As i read it is not only me. I hope they fix the problem soon!
I am having a problem accessing Clixsense also right now. The page is not coming up properly. Of what I read here others are also having issues. Hope it's back to normal soon.
page is not displayed properly.
even tool bar colour has changed.
i am worrying abt clixsense forum is not working, at least it have to work to get information...
Yes, its down for me too --not displaying properly at all, most of the whole day today. I was worried, too. I'm glad this site exists to compare notes with other users.
Home page is garbled and no image displays while all other sites are working fine, tried three browsers with same result, Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome... nothing works! Even updated my entire computer!
"Home page is garbled and no image displays while all other sites are working fine, tried three browsers with same result" - same over here, Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome... nothing works!
is anyone facing problem right now?? Home page is garbled and no image displays while all other sites are working fine, tried three browsers with same result
Very slow, you can see from the stats that the average response is usually less than 300 ms, but not it's more than 650 ms !!!
Ur welcome kathy le sega sorry i couldnt tell u about the toolbar i dont use that
Thank you for letting us know that Clixsense is up and running, but don't rely on the toolbar. It's not working yet.
Well... it's up again, but the Ad's are not working... -_-
"This Ad did not load properly. Close this window to try again"
Down in the states and has been for last 12 hours or so. I hope they are not down permanently down, if so I've lost $16 American dollars. They have been having some trouble with Pay Pal lately, I wonder if that's the problem.
Confirmed botnet activity against Clixsense (188.8.131.52). This appears to be a Denial of Service attack using chargen protocol on udp port 19.
I see im not the only one that clixsense isnt workin for i thought it was on my end but i see its not so thanx guys for ur post
In Italy too doesn't work. Now I am more quiet... I thought it was a problem of my pc. All that remains to do is to wait

same here, hope it will come back soon as I am reaching my minimum soon...
I cannot get on either got the same message as you all did I hope it is up and running soon.
It's still down with error relating to Incapsula network as previously mentioned
It's down, and I got an notice about Incapsula not being able to connect.

Nov 19, 2013 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterIn the first morning of the Charles Darrell Laster murder trial, the defense focused less on whether the defendant attacked a deceased man and more on whether the assault caused the death.
Shey Elan Bruce, 45, of Shoshoni, is charged with second-degree murder in the May death of Laster, 65, also of Shoshoni.
Lawyers selected a jury Monday, and the trial began Tuesday at the Fremont County Courthouse in Lander.
In his opening statement, Fremont County deputy attorney Pat LeBrun said Laster was in his bedroom with his wife, Lavena, the night of May 14. Bruce was also in a romantic relationship with the woman.
"I will prove the defendant ... came into that bedroom and attacked Lavena and Darrell Laster," LeBrun said. "Charles (Laster) died of his head injuries."
Bruce struck the Lasters on their heads with a beer bottle that evening, Lebrun said. After the assault, law enforcement and medics responded to the scene and examined Lavena Laster but Charles Laster refused treatment, LeBrun said.
The man went to bed and was found dead in his living room the next morning.
Blunt force
A forensic pathologist said the man died of bleeding inside his brain caused by a blunt-force blow.
Public defender Devon Petersen, in his opening statement, pointed to what he considers a hole in the prosecution's story. The lawyer indicated that some other event caused the mortal blow.
"The last time somebody sober saw Charles Darrell Laster alive, he was fine, he didn't have a scratch on him, he didn't have a bruise on him, he didn't have any swelling," Petersen said. "When they saw him (the next morning after he died), he has blood all about his face, all about his left hand and on the sleeve of his shirt and back of his shirt."
He could not be sure the fluid was blood, because it was not tested, Petersen said.
If Laster died of bleeding in his skull, he would only have bled a small amount from his nose and mouth, Petersen said.
"It doesn't come gushing out," he said.
Prosecutors have little evidence to support their story, Petersen said.
"Normally in a murder case, this table would be full of items," he said pointing to the evidence table. "This table is not going to have any physical evidence on it."
Investigators collected beer bottles from the scene but did not test them for fingerprints or blood, Petersen said. They also did not test Laster's shirt to see if the substance that was soaking it was blood.
The only evidence the state has that Bruce struck the Lasters with a beer bottle is a 911 call recording in which Charles Laster says as much, Petersen said.
Both sides said they will support their opening statements with witnesses and other evidence,
Coroner report
After the openings, Fremont County chief deputy coroner Mark Stratmoen testified.
Through that witness, LeBrun sought to explain how a red fluid could appear on parts of Charles Laster's body if he died of bleeding within his brain.
LeBrun introduced into evidence nine photographs the coroner's office took at the scene of Laster's death. Two showed a pillow that was under his head and appeared soaked in a fluid.
LeBrun showed the photographs onto a large screen for the jury to see. The image quality in the projections was poor, and colors were difficult to distinguish.
Jurors will be able to view the original prints later.
"There's possibly apparent blood or purge," Stratmoen said of the pillow photographs.
Purge is reddish or clear fluid the body produces from the lungs after death, he said.
He later said Laster initially was reportedly found lying face down but had been turned over by the time Stratmoen arrived at the scene.
In his questioning of Stratmoen, Petersen attacked the thoroughness of the investigation.
The defense attorney asked the deputy coroner if his office tested the fluid on Laster's shirt, and Stratmoen said no. Law enforcement collects evidence at the scene and the forensic pathologist tests anything having to do with the body, such as a shirt, Stratmoen said.
The deputy coroner also said dogs reportedly cleaned Laster's face of some fluid before first responders arrived, indicating even more blood may have been on the deceased man than what appears in the photographs.
Peterson next tried to establish other possibilities for how Laster sustained a head injury the night before he was found dead.
Laster's medical history indicated that in 2009 he fell 12 to 14 feet off an oil rig and hit the back of his head, causing a skull fracture and hemorrhaging in his brain, Stratmoen said. The injury caused chronic dizziness and balance problems.
Laster's blood alcohol content was found to be .206 percent during the autopsy.
Peterson also asked if a large, Maglite flashlight was on a coffee table next to where Laster's body was found, but Stratmoen could not remember.
On redirect, LeBrun sought to rule out the flashlight as a murder weapon by showing it had not been moved for some time.
The prosecutor projected a photograph showing the coffee table and the Maglite.
Stratmoen pointed out that in the photo, which was taken after investigators arrived, a beer can laid on top of the flashlight and a credit card leaned up against it.
March 27, 2015: Conviction in beer-bottle killing upheld on appeal to Wyoming high court
March 7, 2014: Bruce sentenced to 4-10 years for Laster's death
Nov. 24, 2013: Manslaughter, not murder, is verdict in Shey Bruce case
June 12, 2013: Murder weapon in Shoshoni was beer bottle, court hears
May 17, 2013: Man killed in Shoshoni; deputies arrest suspect

text: Many of you know that I am a big tea drinker. I am a self proclaimed tea-a-holic….what can I say? Some girls buy shoes but I buy tea! My favorite type of tea would have to be yerba mate. It has such a beautiful earthy flavor and it really gives me the energy needed to start my busy mornings. Yerba mate is from a tree native to the rain forests of South America. It does contain a good amount of caffeine but unlike coffee, it will not give you the jitters. Yerba mate has been shown to help raise metabolism and aids in supporting an active lifestyle. It's a great source of antioxidants, minerals, amino acids and B vitamins. It tastes great alone or you can sweeten it with some raw honey for added health benefits. I drink some every morning because it also helps to aid in elimination. My favorite brand (that I personally drink on a regular basis) is from Eco Teas – Organic and Fair Trade. I enjoy their Unsmoked Yerba Mate and I think you will love it too!

So, for a 500-600w panel array of these puppies (http://www.motechsolar.com/en/doc/mo...lear3BB_A4.pdf ) - which MPPT would you have on YOUR boat?
I'm looking at the midnite classic, haven't bought anything yet.
Re: MPPT vs. Shunting Solar Controller
Another wonderful effort by MaineSail! Thanks, RC.
I certainly agree that MPPT controllers can be very useful, and I believe they're well worth the cost.
Not mentioned in your video is the effect that MPPT controllers can have when multiple solar panels are connected in series, boosting the OC voltage to 36, 60 or even higher. In this scenario, the MPPT controllers are even more effective in using the available energy from the panels to charge the house batteries.
Another advantage of using panels in series: in low light levels (e.g., early morning or late afternoon or cloudy conditions), the panels still put out enough usable voltage for battery charging.
Re: MPPT vs. Shunting Solar Controller
Great video, I'll just throw in another analogy in case it helps.
The MPPT controller is like a transmission in a car. The transmission seeks out the most efficient ratio to convert the torque/RPM's (voltage/current) from the engine (panel) to the torque/RPM's it needs to drive the car (charge the battery). It can convert torque to RPM's and vice versa.
The transmission does the conversion efficiently AND lets the engine operate at the ideal point. Both are good.
The shunting controller on the other hand is like a clutch. It can only reduce the torque/RPM's it's given by allowing slippage and creating a heat in the process.
So the clutch is both inefficient at doing the conversion (because it creates heat) AND limits the freedom of the engine operating point. Both are bad.
Re: MPPT vs. Shunting Solar Controller
Great video!!!

MPPT vs. Shunting Solar Controller
I get asked quite a bit to describe the difference between an MPPT (multi-point power tracking) solar controller and non MPPT controllers.
Basically all 12V nominal solar panels run voltages of 16 - 18V+. With a PWM or shunting controller the excess voltage goes to waste when the panel voltage is stepped down to a safe charging voltage. An MPPT controller can convert this excess voltage to current so there is less waste and more efficient charging..
To show how this works I decided to use my bench top power supply to simulate a solar panel yet provide consistency in output for an A/B scenario. I set the power supply at 17.4V and 4A or the rough equivalent to a 70W solar panel. I then fed the power supply through a switch to choose which solar controller got the power. I used a battery bank that had been depleted to "bulk" for the 4-5A of current it would see.
The video below shows the results. Basically the MPPT controller had an output of roughly 22% - 24% more than the simple shunting controller. There is no magic just an A/B switch and two different solar controllers...
Hope this helps give some clarity...

A Bridge to ... London?! Historical Map with Grand Rail Plans
(St. Paul, Minnesota -- Dan Olson, MPR News) Who says people out here in Flyoverland don't dream big transportation dreams? Remember the contemporary kerfuffle over the bridge to nowhere? Well, here's a circa 1871 vision for a bridge to somewhere -- a rail line from St. Paul to the East Coast, with a bridge to London! Note the heading reads "St. Paul in the year 1900."
It's a map in the Minnesota Historical Society collection in St. Paul. MnHS curator and map wrangler Patrick Coleman says the idea was created by the Tea Partiers of that era. Check with him for more on that.
