Confessions of a Former Driver Designer
Confessions of a Former Driver Designer
Worth a read.
Without being too cruel, these are the confessions of a hack.
If he had talent, he should have quit.
Bravo! That's the reason why DIY almost always outperforms commercial products of similar cost (marketing imposed design limtations), and part of the reason I guess I will never own scan speak drivers. There comes a line where alot more money brings very small improvements and I like to stay just below it. (actually, I can't afford to cross it!) Cabinetry is the biggest cost to a manufacturer, makes the most difference (besides the room) and is the thing the DIY'er has the most freedom with.
I've learned much from tearing apart old speakers, modifying crossovers and putting them in different cabinets...the results are often impressive. Moreso I think than someone who writes out a $3000 parts list for they're first DIY project. Play with what you have and trust your ears (that didn't sound right-lol) you might be surprised.
"Without being too cruel, these are the confessions of a hack.
If he had talent, he should have quit."
At least he had enough talent to start.
His point is that much of engineering is to do with designing products to a price point, and that is not always bad.
Had a listen to any decent quality modern shelf systems lately ?.
These are very obviously built to a price point, and satisfy the criterion of most users very well indeed - if not, people simply would not buy them.
sfdoddsy - tell us your experience and learning instead of the lame profile you give.
I don't know why he's a "hack" what ever that meams. He had some of the best insight on speakers I've ever read. I liked his idea about "physics" is what makes a driver. I've never heard Focal drivers, but I can tell you I probably wouldn't like the way they sound just by looking at the materials the cones and domes are made out of. Although I don't know that much about a great deal about physics and even less about speakers for that matter.
Guys real funny too. I liked the part where he described the aftermarket guys' pantlegs the best:
"They did like going to car stereo shows, though. They could sit in a conversion van with fourteen subwoofers and three thousand watts of power, watching girls in skimpy bikinis and feeling their pantlegs flap in the bass."

"I didn't read anything that would lead me to believe that. Although it is somewhat true. The reason, I think, DIY speakers sound better is that I built speakers for $300 with $250 of that going to cross-over parts and drivers. And the Acoustic Research 308HO $500 a pair speakers are designed better but they have $50 worth of cross-over and drivers. "
I am not sure I understand. The first sentence of your reply seems to be contradicted by the rest of the paragraph, which actually supports my opinion. Marketing people impose limitations on design that often detract from how good the sound could be. With DIY, the sound is the top design objective, providing it has satisfactory SAF.
Quote from Jimmy154
Like Marshall says: "The way I figure, any idiot should be able to come up with a nice sounding system if hes got five thousand bucks and Krell amplifiers."
Agree completely,
regards, Jason
Sorry, now I think I understand what you were saying. You were referring to financial marketing limitations as well as others maybe? My AR 308 HO speaker I used to have had $50 worth of drivers and cross-over parts and sold for $700 retail. The zetag speakers I drivers and cross-overs that I used to make my speakers cost $250 and the speaker retails for $3,400 I've read.
By marketing I thought you meant things like drilling holes in the speaker is not acceptable, or making it a goofy shape or size or weight. Or funny looking drivers.
INteresting link. Thank you.
Please refrain from such things as 'name-calling' in a derragatory manner on this forum. You may disagree with whoever you wish when you wish with such subjects, but please state specifically what you disagree with don't simply pop up and insult people. Merely callling this person a 'hack' does not have any meaning without supportive data. However, without providing any specific proof, this is a direct personal insult as I have interpreted it.
Thank you.
Thanks Eric, interesting to say the least.

tila flame is the girl
Very nice!! Deep throat and all

Lucky guy. The woman looks amazing.
Extremely hot semi-innocent, PETITE black girl. The problem with 90%+ of black women is that they look beautiful and petite until they are like 18-22. Then the huge booty syndrome takes over and a lot of them get huge bc of genetics etc. SUPER hot chick no matter what race...WOW! : )
grabe ganda
libog mo pre!haha
this girl is amazing hot
Name of this girl please
love her sucking and licking his balls
he should shut up
Sweet.However, I still don't get the coming on the face bit instead of coming in the woman's mouth. Different strokes, I suppose, but I just can't imagine ever willing making that decision.
Sensational sucking skills! My favourite part was when he ejaculated onto her, very good camera angle. Good job guys!
this girl is super cute ... and she can suck a cock.
I hope this guy appreciates this adorable girl.

Also, you should take into consideration whether or not your script had enough instructions in the first place. Just because it is a programming script (and possibly requires some programming knowledge) does not mean that it should require that the buyer know exactly how to use it. The documentation should be good enough.
I'm not saying your documentation wasn't sufficient, just that it is something you should consider.
Another thing you could, and probably should do, is always include some sort of disclaimer with your scripts (at least the ones that require programming knowledge) that indicate the kind of skills required to use it.
You can also include "Additional Support" details in your documentation, where you describe the kind of support you will offer for free, and also the kind of support that will require additional payment.
And lastly, never be afraid to tell a person that the support they're asking for requires additional payment, assuming that it is justified.
Looks awesome.

The best, and only way, to guarantee that all users, no matter the browser they're using, is to use @font-face (as long as you do it correctly).

@mordauk – Well we have the law to think about. As WordPress is licensed under the GPL , technically, any plugins that utilize its functions and filters must also be bound to the GPL .
Ah good point.
I agree. It'd be really nice if you could get a badge for rating items you've purchased. Out of all sales made, only a very small percentage of buyers actually come back and rate the item. Item ratings are of a huge help to authors and it'd be great if there was more incentive for buyers to rate their purchases.
WordPress Plugins from CodeCanyon are GPL , and that's specified in the license that comes with the purchase, so don't worry about that part.
Jeffery, I think it'd be a really good idea if the Code Canyon people (all of Envato actually) rethought the GPL licensing of marketplace items. The GPL is a horrible license and would allow someone to buy an item, modify it, and redistribute it.
Just a thought.
I've just submitted one of my items for the free monthly item.

David Cameron accused Gordon Brown yesterday of creating a "dreadful predicament" for the British economy by failing to prepare for the economic downturn. This had left Alistair Darling with "no room for manoeuvre" across a range of fronts, including interest rates, taxes and the deficit.
In a lively response to the budget, in which he accused the children's secretary, Ed Balls, of behaving like a child, the Tory leader warned that Britain now faced the highest tax burden in its history, the highest deficit in western Europe and the highest interest rates in the G7.
Cameron told MPs: "This government and this prime minister took all the credit when the global economy was growing. But now there are difficulties they won't take any of the blame. In the years of plenty they put nothing aside. They didn't fix the roof when the sun was shining."
The Tory leader claimed that Britain now had no room for manoeuvre, unlike the US, which cut taxes by 1% of national income, and Sweden, which has a 2% budget surplus.
"In Britain we've got nothing," he said. "And as a result, the chancellor is doing nothing. He's got no room for manoeuvre on the deficit. No room for manoeuvre on interest rates. And no room for manoeuvre on taxes."
The Tory leader, who criticised the government for putting up borrowing by the "truly dreadful" figure of £20bn over the next four years, said he was tempted to blame Darling, who has had "the most disastrous start of any chancellor in modern history".
But Cameron added: "I don't think that would be fair. This country shouldn't be in any doubt of the source of the difficulties Britain is now in. The chancellor was put in a hole by the prime minister, and they've both kept digging. And now, after all this - the highest taxes in history, the highest deficit in western Europe, the highest interest rates in the G7 - they ask us to trust them to get the country out of this mess."
Cameron was taunted during his response by Balls. When Cameron claimed in his response to the budget that Britain had the "highest tax burden in our history", Balls shouted "so what?", according to the Tory leader - a government spokesman claimed Balls actually said "so weak". Cameron said to Balls: "I know he wants to be chancellor so badly it hurts. I have to tell him: another budget like the one we've heard and he won't have to wait long."
Nick Clegg, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, said the budget failed to help the environment or tackle child poverty.
Clegg told MPs: "The chancellor is the prime minister's creature, struggling to clear up the mess left by his boss under instructions from Number 10."
"What we have seen today is an act of political ventriloquism," Clegg added. "I would like to compliment the prime minister. I watched him very closely - his lips barely moved all the while the chancellor was speaking."
The Liberal Democrat leader said the budget did little for the poor: "This is a meagre tinkering budget, which gives precious little help to the poor but maintains special treatment to the rich; a budget designed to fill a black hole masquerading as good for the environment; a budget which will not make Britain fairer; a budget that is a green cop-out."

We still don't have confirmation that Giants running back David Wilson will be able to play this season, and that may not come for a couple of months. But he is taking part in OTAs this week. The source link below contains a video of Wilson taking a handoff from quarterback Josh Freeman, so he's obviously not working with the first-team offense; that job belongs to running back Rashad Jennings .
Wilson is working his way back after undergoing spinal fusion surgery to correct a herniated disc in January.
Fantasy Analysis:
Everyone is hoping that Wilson will be cleared for contact before training camp, and so we wait. If he gains clearance, he will make up half of an intriguing two-man backfield with Jennings. I know probably all of you are jaded with Wilson, but I still believe in his physical talent. I'll probably be suckered into using a mid-round pick on him, and unlike with other oft-injured players, that's a bed I'm prepared to lie in.

UPDATE 2-Patterson Q2 profit trails Street; cuts FY09 outlook
* Cuts 2009 earnings outlook
* To freeze hiring, except sales force
* To freeze wages
* Q2 EPS, revenue trail Street
* Shares sink to 7-year low in morning trade (Adds analyst's comments, CEO comments, updates share movement)
BANGALORE, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Medical equipment maker Patterson Cos Inc (PDCO.O: Cotización) posted lower-than-expected quarterly profit, cut its 2009 earnings outlook and announced a freeze on its hiring and wages, citing a difficult economic environment.
Shares of the company sank 20 percent to a 7-year low in morning trade on Nasdaq.
The company now expects 2009 earnings of $1.73 to $1.77 a share, down from its prior view of $1.94 cents to $1.98 a share.
The move to freeze wages and hiring was not a major surprise considering the recent job cuts and cost cutting measures by Patterson's major competitor Henry Schein Inc (HSIC.O: Cotización), Robert W. Baird & Co analyst Jeff Johnson said. Continuación...

Every week in this space, we'll take a look at the news and offer our own incisive blend of commentary, analysis, and poop jokes. The news you need, from a voice you can trust, in the 90 seconds you have to spare: that's Woot Weads the Wire.
ROYAL DEESIDE, Scotland (UPI) -- A British royal source told The Daily Telegraph Queen Elizabeth II's corgis badly injured an 11-year-old Norfolk terrier belonging to Princess Beatrice.
Onlookers say the corgis surrounded the poor terrier and aggressively forced it to surrender its peerage in the House of Lords.
ALBUQUERQUE (UPI) -- Inhabitants of North America a thousand years ago looked for a "caffeine buzz," drinking a strong "Black Drink" for ceremonial purposes, researchers say.
The researchers say the "Black Drink" vanished completely from the historical record for about two months, and then, with no explanation, returned to continue as "Black Drink Classic."
REGENSBURG, Germany (UPI) -- A German copyright law firm said it will publish a list of pornography pirates on its Web site at the start of September.
While Long John Silver is said to be unconcerned, many other pirates are horrified at what their families will think of them once the list of their videos are made public.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- "Saturday Night Live" cast member Abby Elliott told comedy Web site Splitsider she is leaving the U.S. sketch comedy show after four seasons.
On the heels of this announcement, hundreds of people over thirty realized how long it's been since they bothered to watch "Saturday Night Live."
BELGRADE, Serbia (UPI) -- Serbian chess grandmaster Svetozar Gligoric died in Belgrade, the World Chess Federation said. He was 89.
Longtime opponents refuse to mourn him just yet, suspecting this might just be a complex variant on the Blackmar–Diemer Gambit.

Pamela anderson, the beach babe has entered the Bigg Boss House in Lonavla on tuesday night. This hot & sexy Pardesi Girl will flaunt her secret assets in a saree specially designed by the fashion designer Ashley Rebello.
Rebello commented, "They contacted me just sometime back and told me that this is something they wanted urgently. However I told them that I don't have her measurements and they sent these to me on Monday evening. I have finalised the design."
Obviously, Pamella will bring the best out of the sexiest Indian dress, Saree and is expected to boost the oomph factor by leaps and bounds.
As described by Rebello, Pamela will don a white chiffon sari with little mirror work running all across the border. With a neckless blouse, she will be decked in a heavy jewelry matching to her white chiffon saree.

I'm really, really excited about today's post! This is the first of what I hope will be many Makeup Wars posts!
What exactly does that mean?
A few weeks ago I was putting on a new shadow. I had picked it up randomly at Walmart, and I was really impressed with the color, how well it blended, etc. (More on that shadow in a bit.) And yes, I fully admit that while I was putting on my new taupe shadow, I was thinking about my friend, Pink Sith, and her love of Taupe. She has over 130 taupe posts on her blog. She is continually featuring ones that I can't have because they have been discontinued. And I swear that some day, I am going to visit her home and just play in the pretty taupe shadows.
Anyways, I was thinking of her love of taupe and wondering what her favorite drugstore taupe shadow is, and then my other blogger friends... Somehow I created a little group of bloggers (well, there are actually 19 of us) and every 2 weeks or so we'll be posting coordinated posts like this one. Today you'll see everyone's favorite taupe shadows, but we have other ideas and fun challenges in the works for the future! After the post below you'll be able to just click the arrow button to get to the next post or you can skip around to look at the other taupe shadows.
Nutty has somehow become one of my go-to shadows for my crease area. It is well pigmented but not too dark for my super pale skin, has some depth to it (meaning it isn't simply a flat matte blah thing) but it is very neutral and pairs really well with other shadows. A few swipes of Nutty in the crease (I go back and forth like a windshield wiper) and my eye makeup suddenly looks much more professional.
I thought I'd share my other 2 favorite drugstore taupes as well. It is really hard to say that I love any of them more or less than the others. These 3 shadows live on my counter top and they aren't likely to be moving any time soon!
What taupe shadow does Pammy Blogs Beauty love so much that she has not only repurchased it, but also hit pan on it again? Its MAC's Satin Taupe!
Phyrra has more taupes in her makeup collection than she expected, but her weapon of choice is Fyrinnae Damn Paladins.

I think the 9mm will do the job as well as anyother caliber with the proper shot placement.
We've come a long way in bullet technology in the last 10 years. The caliber " gap" isn't near as big as it used to be.
This is a discussion on Going from a .40 to a 9.... within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Has anyone here went from carrying a .40 or .45 to a 9mm. I'm not looking for a caliber war here, I'm just considering swapping ...
Has anyone here went from carrying a .40 or .45 to a 9mm. I'm not looking for a caliber war here, I'm just considering swapping my EDC from a .40 to a 9. It would allow me to only buy 9mm for practice and for carry since my wife also has a 9mm, I am more accurate with the 9(marginally), and ammo costs(at least for the practice stuff) is a good bit cheaper. I think that with the SD ammo thats on the market today I wouldn't be giving up much by stepping down to the 9. What are your opinions on this or have you actually swapped from something larger to a 9mm?

I'm in process of doing the same thing(.45->9mm), ammo cost for one, more ammo on tap for another.
My problem was (is) finding a 9mm that I liked enough to shelf my 1911s.
I was shootin' a 10mm and went to a .45. At one time I thought about it, but that big ol' 45 bullet just wouldn't let go of me. The costs of a .45acp isn't THAT much different. The capacity of my glock 21 is 13+1 vs. a 9mm at 16 or 17+1. PLUS...since I have a pocket carry of a .380, the 9mm was out of the question.
But your justification I can see. Hi-cap 9mm cheaper and easier to shoot than the .40 and you can find 9mm (and .45acp) anywhere.

Regarding cost, 100rds of .45 is almost $10 more per 100 than 9mm. It's not too bad if you buy one box a month, but when you're burning 300+ rounds every two weeks (Lima and I combined) for a general range trip, the wallet starts getting hurt, especially once you factor in gas cost in going to the range and back.
And until we have room for a bench, reloading is out.
I've gone from 40/45 to 9mm recently (for CCW). I have developed enough arthritis in my hands to appreciate not having to cycle the slide on the larger caliber guns.. With the higher quality ammo now available in 9mm, I don't worry at all about being undergunned. If I were in a high risk enviroment (ie LEO) , I might feel differently. But for me, I don't worry at all..... YMMV..... mike
I carried a Glock 23 as a civilian CCWer, and now carry a Sig P228 in 9mm as a duty weapon. I switched because I had to, but, knowing what I do now, I'm just as happy (if not happier) with the 9mm than I was with the .40.
For all the reasons you've mentioned, the 9mm is a good choice. Also - and this probably won't apply to you - 9mm is much easier to get ahold of in other countries than is .40. IMO, hitting the BG quickly is more important (within reason) than what you hit him with, and I can hit faster and more often with my Sig than I could with my G23...
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
Your reasoning is very sound tacticaly.......a commom caliber for both you and your wife that is readily availiable, cost effictive, and easy to shoot/handle.
The 9mm is a proven round and had stopped as many people as any other 'common' handgun round.
I personally carry a .40 and am in the market for a 1911 .45.....that's just me.
What works for you and yours.....works. Stay safe.
Make sure your SD rounds are 147gr . Check it out on the web but the ballistics of a 147gr 9mm is VERY similar to a .45acp . My favorite gun, my "BABY EAGLE" is in 9mm & I had the same concerns when I dropped down to a 9mm .
I have one of each, carry both, and enjoy shooting both. My next gun purchase will probably be a G26, actually, and the lighter weight 9mm +p+ rounds are supposed to have very good ballistic performance.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil...
I have also gone through all the cycles of 9mm, .40 and .45, with a little 10mm and .357 magnum thrown in, and I am starting to think that 9mm may be quite adequate. I have been staring at gelatin test data for modern 147 grain 9mm defensive ammo, and it seems to penetrate 13 or 14 inches and expand to 0.65 or 0.70 inches in diameter, even through layers of denim over the gelatin. The .40 and .45 tests look very similar, so maybe 9mm is just about as effective as they are.
Besides the cheaper practice ammo you mentioned, the 9mm may have a couple of other advantages for defensive use:
1. More rounds will fit in a given size gun than .40 or .45.
2. The recoil is less, so you can fire multiple shots quicker. If someone is coming at you with a weapon, time is critical.
3. There are many 9mm guns on the market to choose from, from big 17 round duty size guns to little pocket guns.
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the Peoples' Liberty's Teeth." - George Washington
Yup, I've done it for the reasons mentioned above. I still prefer 45ACP above all, but the 9mm is a very close second.

I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
When it comes to downing sizing the bullet; just make more holes in the BG........

no pistol will match a rifle for power.
pick a platform that you are comfortable with and carry it.
for me thats a glock 19 a keltec p32 ,might get rid of it for the ruger lcp tho, and a 642.
guess which one i carry the most....hint....it only holds 5
the 9 is the cheapest to shoot and that i like, but they will all get the job done if i need them.....

9mm has always been my choice. I figure a BG hit well with a 9mm is as likely to give up as he is with a .40 or .45 unless he is really high or psycho (in which case it probably won't matter what you hit him with). Unfortunately an M-134 won't concealed carry well!

A Murder Victim's Family Shares Fond Memories
The woman accused of murdering her boyfriend's wife took center stage-- even though she didn't take the stand Thursday, claiming she had nothing to do with the death of Heather Strong in early 2009.
The family members of the murdered mother-of-two said this was their toughest day in court yet.
Heather Strong's younger brother shared some of his fondest memories while flipping through a photo album.
"I love her more than everything in the world, more than everything, literally," Tyler Strong, 17, said. "I just wish I had more time with her."
During court Thursday, a video of Emilia Carr's interviews with Marion County Sheriff's Detectives played. In them she states she had nothing to do with the murder of Heather Strong.
During the video, a pregnant Carr told detectives then-boyfriend, Joshua Fulgham killed Strong. Carr said she found Strong's body in her mother's storage trailer after she was dead.
But detectives said her story changed after two days of questioning.
Emilia Carr's murder trail is expected to last until early next week.

The thermal paste may hardly be dry from Spode's review of Kentsfield, Intel's first Quad Core processor, but already the first system has appeared from perhaps the world's most famous hardcore system builder.
Housed in familiar VoodooPC desktop casing, the 'OMEN Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad Core' – rather clearly – has an Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad Core processor at the heart of it. Voodoo quotes Intel's figure of up to 70 per cent more processing power than regular dual core chips but at this stage this is based on multitasking benchmarks and will not translate to games until titles are patched or coded from scratch.
Despite this the OIC2EQ, as I'm calling it for short (well short-ish) is one mother of a system and can be equipped with a choice of ATI CrossFire or nVidia SLI graphics and motherboard chipsets. RAM can be scaled up right up to 4GB and storage compiled to an incredible two terabytes using four 750GB Seagate 7,200RPM hard drives.
There are no high definition optical drives available through Voodoo currently so a dual layer DVD writer will have to do for now but a 42in Samsung SyncMaster 8ms gaming monitor can be added to the package for $5,482.40 if you feel the need to overcompensate for this loss. For such a beast the OMEN is quiet as a kitten too since Voodoo claims the airflow layout of its case will reduce heat and help to minimise noise.
The OIC2EQ hasn't appeared on the company's site yet but it shouldn't be long before HP's new pet pushes out its latest and greatest. For those on a limitless budget you should… frankly, drop down dead!

We've heard the rumours of Sony recording a loss this quarter, and it looks like they're going to prove true, based on Sony's just-published revised predictions. Sony now expects net loss of ¥150 billion (~£1.22 billion), a definite change from the previous estimate (from October last year) of ¥150 billion profit and last year's actual net profit of ¥369 billion (£3 billion).
In Sony's words: "Consolidated sales and operating income for the second half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 are expected to be significantly lower than the October forecast, primarily due to a deterioration in the business environment as a result of the global economic slowdown, the continued appreciation of the yen, the impact from the decline in the Japanese stock market and an increase in expected restructuring charges."
In other words, no-one is buying Sony's products, the Yen is getting stronger (making Sony's over-seas income worth less to the company) and Sony is spending money on restructuring to make the business more cost-effective in the future.

Practice Area: Medical malpractice
Outcome: Settled at Trial for $970,000
Description: A fifty year-old man went to his internist seeking assistance in losing weight. The internist put him on phentermine, a weight loss drug to be used for no more than eight weeks. The physician kept the patient on the drug for two years and failed to monitor his cardiac, circulatory or pulmonary functions despite warnings that this drug could affect those functions. The patient grew ill due to pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular heart failure and returned to see his physician. The covering physician failed to order even basic tests and failed to detect these life-threatening disorders. As a result, the patient's condition worsened until taken to the hospital where he suffered complete pulmonary failure and nearly died. Under the treatment of new physicians, the patient has recovered. The defense in the medical malpractice case tried to blame the patient and the matter went to trial. Ms. Schlitt built her case against both doctors, demonstrating that basic tests and examinations would have detected and prevented the patient's near fatal condition. The defense opted to settle before jury deliberations. The defending physicians paid a combined $970,000.

When we last checked in on appropriation artist Richard Prince's recent "birding" one month ago, he was praising the virtues of micro-blogging platform Tumblr — especially for its formal similarities to his own practice — but this month he has let loose on the art journalism world, blasting everyone from canonical print magazines to art news websites such as this one.
In his vitriolic and very brief screed titled "CHICKEN SHIT," Prince writes off ARTINFO — as he has done before — and a number of our esteemed colleagues:
Art News is a piece of shit. Art Forum isn't much better, but at least they got some snappy advertisements. (Art Info.com is still full of shit).
Frieze Magazine is all but unreadable. Are they deliberately trying to focus on art that's made out of chickens?
He must've been in a bad mood, though, because he then went on to trash "Gilligan's Island," complete with a hilarious anecdote about his correspondence with Bob Denver:
Gilligan's Island was for shit but it was popular shit. The most popular TV show for four years running. I once sent away for a signed 8X10 glossy of Bob Denver the star of Gilligan's island. I requested an 8X10 head shot from his first TV show The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, where he played the beatnik Maynard G. Krebs. (One of the first characters on TV that was anti-establishment). What I got back in the mail was a pic of Denver as Krebs… all sweatshirt and goatee… and inscribed, "To R.Prince… when the shit hits the fan get out to of the way, Bob Denver".
We had never noticed the chicken motif playing out in the pages of Frieze, but we will be sure to keep an eye out for it in future issues.

I am 26 am in great health. No matter how much I worked out, I never could get rid of my back and tummy.
I decided to have this done about 2 weeks before I had the procedure. I went in for a free consultation exactly one week before having this done. It couldn't have been an easier decision for me. I did; however, do A LOT of research. I was obsessed...EVERY NIGHT for hours I was looking up everything I possibly could find on what I can expect. I made sure I was FULLY aware what I was getting myself into as this is my first time having ANYTHING done.
For the procedure itself, I don't remember A THING! They hooked me up to an IV and the next thing I remember is me waking up on my couch!
I am going to work tomorrow... we'll see how that goes! I have added pics below... they speak for themselves... I am still swollen and cannot WAIT for the end results! I will keep everyone posted with pics throughout the next few weeks!

Microsoft Location Finder
Do you travel a lot? If so, when you go to places you're not familiar with, do you have a hard time getting yourself (and your vehicle) back on track? Well, it happens to all of us at one point or another, so wouldn't it be nice if you could find out exactly where you are at any given time, without having to invest in a satellite navigation system (like a GPS?) I thought you might think so!
Well, as long as you have a laptop that has wireless capabilities (WiFi) enabled with you on your trip, you can do exactly that. And what's even better? It's free, courtesy of Microsoft!
Okay, you may be a little confused, so let me explain how simple this is and how it can help you with your traveling.
First of all, head over here to the Microsoft Download Center and locate the free program of Microsoft Location Finder. Download it (see picture below for help) to a suitable location on your hard drive.
Click on the saved file (LocationFinderSetup.exe) and it will take you through the setup procedure (see steps below).
You will then find that a little icon has installed itself in the bottom right hand box on your desktop (see below).
Clicking on this (or going to Start, All Programs, Microsoft Location Finder) will activate the program and within a short time, the following screen will appear.
When it does, you should see your location clearly highlighted.
As you will see from the above picture, you can (1) change from a view of the road system in your location to an aerial view (see next picture), (2) zoom in or out or (3) refresh the process if you have made any changes.
This image shows the aerial view, which, dependant on where you are, can be zoomed in to almost street level.
The program will search for the nearest WiFi access points and it will use them to pinpoint your location. If those are not available, it will then take your ISP (Internet Service Provider) number and try to find you by using that.
That's all there is to it!
It's a very easy and very accurate. And don't forget, it's free, so there's no reason not to give it a shot!

SCHS To Get Rid of A-B Scheduling Next Year
Stephens County High School plans to move completely back to traditional block scheduling next year.
High School staff made a presentation on the matter to the Stephens County Board of Education Tuesday.
Currently, some classes at the high school take place every other day for the whole year, known as an A/B schedule, while other classes meet every day for one semester, which is a traditional block schedule.
According to Stephens County High School Assistant Principal Sheila Pressley, staff feels having everything on the same schedule would be beneficial.
"The staff expressed the need to have all classes on the same schedule," said Pressley. "They felt that was very important."
A survey done by the high school indicated that most teachers wanted to move to a traditional block schedule and many students did as well.
In addition, Pressley said that an A/B schedule provides less flexibility with scheduling and less continuity, and can cause confusion.
She said that switching back to block scheduling would help with providing more schedule flexibility for students.
"It should help with scheduling conflicts," said Pressley. "It should help balance class sizes more."
She also said it would reduce gaps between classes that occur during an A/B schedule due to weather, class trips, and other activities.
Pressley said that the high school realizes no schedule is perfect and adds they would continue to look at other schedule options that might work better in the future.
After the presentation, the Stephens County Board of Education voted unanimously to support the switch.

Campaign aims to modernize projection equipment, screen in Center's theater space
In 2003, when the first two floors of the Ransom Center were renovated, the addition of the Charles N. Prothro Theater was created to provide a venue for lectures, music recitals, film screenings, and other presentations. Over the years, the theater has been an invaluable space for these events and has helped the Center fulfill its commitment to share its collections with students, scholars, and the public.
The Ransom Center's free movie screenings using a basic projector have been enormously popular and well attended. Past film series have complemented exhibitions such as Making Movies and Becoming Tennessee Williams. This summer's Sport Film Series included the classics Bang the Drum Slowly, The Natural, and Raging Bull to accompany the exhibition Literature and Sport.
With the shift from motion picture film to digital projection in the film industry, the opportunity for the Prothro Theater to provide high-quality movie screenings has now become a viable option. As a result, the Ransom Center is planning to upgrade its projection and sound equipment to the standards that commercial theaters and our peer institutions provide. A new screen is included in the renovation budget, as well as other enhancements to the theater.
By updating the Prothro Theater, the Ransom Center would be able to present movies with professional-level quality, enriching the audience's viewing experience. Films remain immensely popular and encourage visits from both students and the general public. Furthermore, proper projection equipment would enable the Center to serve as a venue for film festivals, bringing new audiences and filmmakers into the building, as well as forging partnerships with other community organizations and events.
According to Curator of Film Steve Wilson, the renovation would further enhance the Ransom Center's reputation. "It would demonstrate to actors, screenwriters, and directors who may be considering placing their archives here that we have full projection capabilities and are committed to an active screening program."
Fundraising efforts have begun, and the Ransom Center has raised nearly 65 percent of the estimated cost needed to complete the project. If fundraising is successful, the renovation could be completed in time for the Ransom Center's 2014 Gone With The Wind exhibition, which will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the film. Exhibition-related programming would include screenings in the upgraded Prothro Theater.
If you would like to support this renovation project, please call Margie Rine at 512-471-9643.

Constrained by His Love
Full Product Description
Given the charge of St Peter's Church, Dundee at the age of 23, even his trial sermon was blessed, with two people being saved. The church saw astonishing growth, overflowing with 1,100 hearers.He stands today as one of the outstanding preachers in the history of Scotland.
His spirituality, and focus on the work of Christ was immediately apparent - with hostile crowds melting as they realised the sincerity of the man and the power of his message. His life is a lesson to us all, that when we submit to our Sovereign Lord and his plan, he can and will use our bodies, no matter how weak, our gifts, no matter how limited and our lives, no matter how short.

Harry Cheadle of Vice Magazine offers an in-depth look at the growing phenomenon of godless congregations! The idea behind godless congregations, as groups like the Sunday Assembly are known, is pretty simple: churches are about building communities based on shared values as much as they're about worship. Studies conducted in the past few years have [Read More…]

Why I Call Myself "Non-Religious"
Today I got an interesting email from a friend asking why, even though I am training as an Ethical Culture Leader, I consider myself and term myself "non-religious".

A convicted child pornography producer was sentenced Tuesday to serve 20 years in federal prison.
John Reid Clayton, 29, of Stansbury Park, pleaded guilty in May to production of child pornography. After his release, Clayton will be supervised for the rest of his life, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
As a part of his plea agreement, Clayton admitted that he photographed four children engaged in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a "visual depiction" of the conduct. The four children were all born between 2007 and 2011.
Clayton must also register as a sex offender, agreed to pay restitution and forfeit property associated with the criminal conduct, the statement adds.
The date Clayton began filming the children is unknown, according to a court document, but the activity ended around Sept. 29, 2012.
The Tooele County Sheriff's Office, Tooele City Police Department and the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children task force participated in the investigation. Federal charges were filed as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat "epidemic" child sexual exploitation.

GENERIC NAME: NARATRIPTAN - ORAL (nair-uh-TRIP-tan)
BRAND NAME(S): Amerge
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to treat migraines. It helps to relieve headaches, pain and other symptoms of migraines, including sensitivity to light/sound, nausea, and vomiting. Prompt treatment allows you to get back to your normal routine and may decrease your need for other pain medications. Naratriptan does not prevent future migraines or reduce how often you may get a headache.Naratriptan belongs to a group of drugs called triptans. It affects a certain natural chemical (serotonin) that constricts blood vessels in the brain. It may also block other pain pathways in the brain.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet available from your pharmacist before you start using naratriptan and each time you get a refill. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.Take one tablet by mouth with or without food, at the first sign of a migraine, or as directed by your doctor. Do not take naratriptan to prevent a migraine. If there is no improvement in your symptoms, do not take any more doses of this medication before talking to your doctor. If your symptoms are only partly relieved, or if your headache comes back, you may take a second dose after 4 hours or as directed by your doctor. Do not take more than 5 milligrams in a 24-hour period.If you have never taken this medication before and you have risk factors for heart disease (see Precautions), you may be advised to take your first dose in your doctor's office in order to monitor for rare but serious heart problems (e.g., heart attack).Your dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.Overuse of drugs to treat sudden migraine attacks can lead to worsening of headache (medication overuse headache) or rebound headache. Therefore, do not use this medication more often or for longer than prescribed. Tell your doctor if you need to use this medication more often, if the medication is not working as well, or if you have more frequent or worse headaches. Your doctor may need to change your medication and/or add a separate medication to help prevent the headaches.

Let me know if your interested or have any questions. For pickup or can be shipped (shipping cost would be extra depending on the destination).

Same-sex marriage is against god and the bible, and the ever quoted 'god made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve'. 'Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.'
Same-sex marriages are unnatural and detrimental to society. 'The amalgamation of the races is not only unnatural, but is always productive of deplorable results. The purity of the public morals, the moral and physical development of both races, and the highest advancement of civilization . . . all require that [the races] should be kept distinctly separate, and that connections and alliances so unnatural should be prohibited by positive law and subject to no evasion.'
Same-sex marriage would lead to the breakdown of western civilisation as it was built upon traditional marriage between a man and a woman. 'Civilized society has the power of self-preservation, and, marriage being the foundation of such society, most of the states in which the Negro forms an element of any note have enacted laws inhibiting intermarriage between the white and black races.'
The slippery slope argument; by allowing same-sex marriage it will somehow lead to incest, paedophilia, bestiality, polygamy etc. '[If interracial couples have a right to marry], all our marriage acts forbidding intermarriage between persons within certain degrees of consanguinity are void.'
'The underlying factors that constitute justification for laws against miscegenation closely parallel those which sustain the validity of prohibitions against incest and incestuous marriages.'
'The State's prohibition of interracial marriage . . . stands on the same footing as the prohibition of polygamous marriage, or incestuous marriage, or the prescription of minimum ages at which people may marry, and the prevention of the marriage of people who are mentally incompetent.'
Same-sex marriage will degrade traditional marriage. 'Allowing interracial marriages "necessarily involves the degradation" of conventional marriage, an institution that "deserves admiration rather than execration.'
Government has no right to redefine marriage for the rest of the population. '[S]uch laws [banning interracial marriage] have been in effect in this country since before our national independence and in this state since our first legislative session. They have never been declared unconstitutional by any court in the land although frequently they have been under attack. It is difficult to see why such laws, valid when enacted and constitutionally enforceable in this state for nearly one hundred years and elsewhere for a much longer period of time, are now unconstitutional under the same constitution.'
Same-sex marriage has detrimental effects on children. 'It is contended that interracial marriage has adverse effects not only upon the parties thereto but upon their progeny . . . and that the progeny of a marriage between a Negro and a Caucasian suffer not only the stigma of such inferiority but the fear of rejection by members of both races.'
'Now if the state has an interest in marriage, if it has an interest in maximizing the number of stable marriages and in protecting the progeny of interracial marriages from these problems, then clearly. There is scientific evidence available that is so. It is not infrequent that the children of intermarried parents are referred to not merely as the children of intermarried parents but as the 'victims' of intermarried parents and as the 'martyrs' of intermarried parents.'
The similarities are uncanny but not surprising when you consider that the arguments against both stem from the same source, the religious right. As I said before, history has a habit of repeating itself and it is my feeling that in 50 years people will look upon those making these arguments against same-sex marriage in the same manner we view the racists who made the arguments against inter-racial marriage. So you have to ask yourself, which side of history are you on?

Did You Know?
Questions of jurisdiction are generally technical legal matters. The most important ones include which court will hear a given case and which law-enforcement agency can get involved. But although they may seem like mere technicalities, jurisdictional matters sometimes turn out to be all-important in the final outcome. Jurisdiction may depend on where you are (for example, in which state), on who you are (if you're a juvenile, for example, you may only be tried in juvenile court), and on what the subject is (for example, cases involving the estate left by someone who has died are dealt with in probate court).
Origin and Etymology of jurisdiction
Middle English jurisdiccioun, from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French jurisdiction, from Latin jurisdiction-, jurisdictio, from juris + diction-, dictio act of saying — more at diction

Legal Definition of jurisdiction
1 : the power, right, or authority to interpret, apply, and declare the law (as by rendering a decision) to be removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime — U.S. Constitution art. IV a court of competent jurisdiction — see also situs, International Shoe Co. v. Washington — compare venue Editor's note: Jurisdiction determines which court system should properly adjudicate a case. Questions of jurisdiction also arise regarding quasi-judicial bodies (as administrative agencies) in their decision-making capacities. alienage jurisdiction : jurisdiction granted to federal courts over civil disputes between a state or citizen and a foreign state or citizens or subjects of a foreign state ancillary jurisdiction : jurisdiction giving a court the power to adjudicate claims (as counterclaims and cross-claims) because they arise from a cause of action over which the court has original jurisdiction; specifically : supplemental jurisdiction acquired by a federal court allowing it to adjudicate claims that are based on state law but that form part of a case brought to the court under its diversity jurisdiction — compare pendent jurisdiction in this entry Editor's note: Ancillary jurisdiction allows a single court to decide an entire case instead of dividing the claims among several courts and proceedings, and allows a federal court to decide a claim that would otherwise be properly brought to a state court. appellate jurisdiction : the jurisdiction granted to particular courts to hear appeals of the decisions of lower tribunals and to reverse, affirm, or modify those decisions — compare original jurisdiction in this entry concurrent jurisdiction : jurisdiction that is shared by different courts and that may allow for removal two states may have concurrent jurisdiction over crimes committed on boundary rivers — W. R. LaFave and A. W. Scott, Jr.consent jurisdiction : jurisdiction granted by consent of the parties diversity jurisdiction : the jurisdiction granted to federal courts over civil disputes involving parties having diverse citizenship (as in being from different states) where the matter in controversy exceeds a statutory amount (as $75,000) Editor's note: The diversity jurisdiction of the district courts requires that there be complete diversity of the parties, which means that no party on one side has the same citizenship as a party on the other side. Interpleader in federal district courts, however, requires only minimal diversity, which means that at least one party has citizenship that differs from the others. The federal courts have traditionally refused to exercise their diversity jurisdiction over cases involving domestic relations and probate. exclusive jurisdiction : jurisdiction granted only to a particular court to the exclusion of others federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases federal question jurisdiction : the jurisdiction granted to federal courts over civil actions arising under the Constitution, federal laws, or treaties of the U.S. : federal jurisdiction over cases involving a federal question — see also well-pleaded complaint rule Editor's note: The federal courts have usually interpreted the statutory phrase "arising under" rather strictly. U.S. Supreme Court decisions have held that the plaintiff's pleading must establish that the cause of action raises an issue of federal law (as by depending on construction or application of a federal law). general jurisdiction : jurisdiction that is not limited (as to a particular class of cases); specifically : the personal jurisdiction granted a court over a party allowing the court to adjudicate a cause of action that does not arise out of or is not related to the party's contacts within the territory of that court in personam jurisdiction \ˌin-pər-ˈsō-nəm-, -per-ˈsō-näm-\ : the jurisdiction granted a court over persons before it that allows the court to issue a binding judgment : personal jurisdiction in this entry in rem jurisdiction \in-ˈrem-\ : the jurisdiction granted a court over property that allows the court to issue binding judgments (as an order for partition) affecting a person's interests in the property — compare personal jurisdiction in this entry jurisdiction in personam : in personam jurisdiction in this entry jurisdiction in rem : in rem jurisdiction in this entry limited jurisdiction : jurisdiction that is restricted (as to a type of case) original jurisdiction : the jurisdiction granted a court to try a case in the first instance, make findings of fact, and render a usually appealable decision the district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States — U.S. Code pendent jurisdiction : supplemental jurisdiction that allows a federal court to adjudicate state law claims which form part of a case that was brought to it under its federal question jurisdiction; also : pendent party jurisdiction in this entry — compare ancillary jurisdiction in this entry pendent party jurisdiction : supplemental jurisdiction that allows a federal court to adjudicate a state law claim asserted against a third party which is part of a case brought to it under its original jurisdiction personal jurisdiction : the jurisdiction granted a court over the parties before it that allows it to issue a binding judgment — see also doing business statute, fair play and substantial justice, long-arm statute, minimum contacts — compare subject matter jurisdiction in this entry Editor's note: The U.S. Supreme Court has held in a series of decisions that the exercise of personal jurisdiction must meet the requirements of due process and must not violate notions of fair play and substantial justice. The constitutional standard to determine whether a party is subject to the personal jurisdiction of a court is whether that party has had minimum contacts within the territory (as a state) of that court. primary jurisdiction : the jurisdiction granted by a judicially created doctrine to an administrative agency to decide certain controversies initially before relief is sought in the courts — compare exhaustion of remedies quasi in rem jurisdiction : the jurisdiction of a court over a person which is based on the person's interests in property under the court's jurisdiction and which allows the court to issue a binding judgment against the person — see also sequestration — compare personal jurisdiction in this entry specific jurisdiction : personal jurisdiction granted a court over a party that allows it to adjudicate only a cause of action that arises out of or is related to the party's contacts within the territory of that court — compare general jurisdiction in this entry subject matter jurisdiction : the jurisdiction of a court over the subject, type, or cause of action of a case that allows the court to issue a binding judgment housing court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate fraudulent conveyance actions — National Law Journal — compare personal jurisdiction in this entry Editor's note: Diversity jurisdiction, federal question jurisdiction, and jurisdiction over admiralty and bankruptcy cases are examples of the federal courts' subject matter jurisdiction. Subject matter jurisdiction is generally established by statute. supplemental jurisdiction : jurisdiction granted federal courts over claims that could not be heard in a federal court on their own but that are so closely related to claims over which the court has original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case — see also ancillary jurisdiction and pendent jurisdiction in this entry Editor's note: Supplemental jurisdiction was created by a federal statute that codified the judicially created doctrines of ancillary and pendent jurisdiction.
