Best Of :: Shopping & Services
It's a rare thing for a pawn shop to try to make its customers feel like anything other than the petty thieves, out-of-luck gamblers, and dumpster-diving opportunists that they are. But Davie Pawn and Jewelry has a different philosophy -- swaddle customers in an atmosphere of quality and familiar jocularity and you will be rewarded with their love. There's the long, blue awning that reaches clear out to the parking lot of the Country Road Shoppes strip mall, New York City-style, to funnel would-be hockers into the store's shady interior. There's also the immaculate glass cases of jewelry lining the store's interior. And there's an entire wall devoted to musical instruments -- gleaming electric guitars and patinaed trumpets galore. The place offers other services besides the typical hock -- the in-house jewelry repairman will replace your watch battery for $7, and while you wait, you can wire money to loved ones from the on-site Western Union. The only reminder that this place isn't some Las Olas boutique is the door buzzer -- even the best of pawn shops still have to screen their clients. Ah well.
Asa Boynton is a one-man crime fighter, dope-den destroyer, letter writer, and critic of Hollywood City Hall. In fact, Boynton's tireless hell-raising with Hollywood's Police Department and politicians earned him our nod as this year's Best Gadfly. Since moving to the Diamond of the Gold Coast from Kendall a decade ago, Boynton has made community activism his passion. But there's more to him than that. Boynton's also an entertainer, a man whose love of costumes inspired him to be what he is today: a singing telegram artist. Of course, Boynton does more than sing and dance. He dresses the part. He'll show up at corporate events, parties, and even your front door dressed in a purple gorilla suit or in his favorite costume, the Hairy Fairy. In fact, Boynton unveils his new Hairy Fairy costume with this photo. When it comes to his favorite shop in town, he's quick with an answer: Chantik Imports. Located in downtown Hollywood, Chantik specializes in furniture and arts and crafts imported from Indonesia. Boynton loves Chantik's furniture, but it's the store's masks and woodcrafts that drive him back week after week. "I just get off on carved wood and different kinds of masks," Boynton says. "Plus, I'm a Leo, and I love tribal-looking things." At Chantik, Boynton has bought everything from mirrors to masks to painted wooden fish that he uses to hang from his clown costume.
As the name suggests, CD Collector wants to unburden you of those extra discs piling up at the back of your music collection. If they're in good shape and not especially lame (e.g., Pat Boone's heavy metal album), bring 'em in for either cash or store credit. If your CDs are scratched-up or played-out, then bring cash -- you'll need some form of currency after perusing the assorted CDs, records, DVDs, T-shirts, and other music-related knickknacks you'll inevitably haul up to the register. While there are plenty of hip-hop and dance CDs to go around, the store is especially heavy on rock -- indie, punk, classic, new wave, etc. For your convenience, the more spin-worthy LPs are hung on the wall, including reissues of the Clash's self-titled album ($13.95) and Suicide's 1/2 Alive ($12.95). The thousands of used LPs in the main bin are a bit cheaper but still far above dollar-bin quality. Speaking of dollar deals, a buck is all you pay for each of the CDs stored in the back of the shop (across from the Numark DJ packages, which run $275 to $385 for dual turntable kits). A dollar also gets you one of those old-school punk, ska, and Oi! buttons you won't find at Hot Topic. Of course, after a trip to CD Collector, you've got no reason to do your music shopping at the mall.
If you're not accustomed to the scavenger-like joys of second-hand shopping, here's rule number one: The difference between a vintage store and a thrift store is like the difference between Ralph Lauren and Target. That being said, Vintage Diversity has the type of hip, retro garb you'd otherwise find only on eBay. Pick a decade, any decade (OK, maybe not the medieval period) and owner Melanie Garbo-Byrnes will find the right size and style. The prices are as varied as the fashions. Mod-styled blazers start around $46 and can run four times that. Forty bucks is the average price for men's shirts, black Members Only jackets (remember those?), and accessories like a '30s-era woman's hat (gray wool with sequins). For vintage on the cheap, show up on Saturday for the $5 sales racks -- that guayabera shirt you were eyeballing on Thursday just might be there. And if you just need something to rent for a party, that's fine; $75 covers your rental costs from head to toe. Just let Melanie know what look you're going for. Austin Powers -- no prob. Saturday Night Fever, Grease -- consider it done. Monty Python and the Holy Grail? Uh, how old are you?
Watching the wild thing doesn't get any easier than this. This spacious smut palace is just a few blocks off I-95 with easy and ample parking. Thousands of DVDs, featuring every form of bonking one could imagine, line the walls and racks, some for as little as $6. Complete Adult also rents DVDs for $4.25 for two days, with a refundable deposit. What this place has going over most of its competitors is the "preview room," where patrons can seal themselves into small cubicles and watch scenes from a selection of sex tapes that revolves weekly. At about a buck a minute, it's spendy, but it does keep your home porn stash down to a manageable level. Open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday till midnight.
As you walk through Las Olas Beauty, passing by shelves of skin creams and bath products, you can tell the store knows its cosmetics. But if you venture back into the massage room, you'll see that the store's concept of beauty runs more than just skin deep. The various massages available are tailored to your particular needs, whether it's working out the knots in your neck or giving your lymphatic system a good jolt. If you're a newbie who thinks all massages are the same (ever had an Oriental?), you'll probably want to start with a mini massage ($40), a 30-minute stress buster ($40), or a Swedish ($70). If you want to step things up a bit -- and don't have especially frail bones -- try the deep tissue for $80. (Mini deep tissues are available for $40.) Another $80 treat is the Shirodhara, which includes a foot and hand massage while a stream of warm oil is poured onto your forehead (the opposite of Chinese water torture). But if you're ready to go all the way, lymphatic drainage therapy (of the face or body) costs $125; it's an invigorating, detoxifying boon to your immune system. Until you learn to stop slouching, consider this your health retreat.


text: PRAIRIEVILLE, La., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A Louisiana man is telling the story of a largely unknown American health crisis involving the nation's blood supply, that claimed thousands of lives due to national irresponsibility and lack of proactive oversight. Gary William Cross recalls his pivotal role in what was called the nation's "hemophilia HIV pandemic" in his new memoir, Vial 023: A Father's Pursuit of Justice. The book tells how Cross' hemophiliac son, Brad, died in April 1993 after becoming infected with HIV through contaminated blood supplies used for his clotting factor treatment. He was 17. As thousands of other hemophiliacs were infected and subsequently died, Cross and his wife, Karen, became leading figures in the campaign to find out how blood from high-risk donors came to be used in manufacturing the medication that was supposed to protect its users. Over the course of more than a decade, Cross played a key role in legal discovery and proceedings to determine what went wrong to make sure that it could never happen again. His efforts culminated in a remarkable, behind-closed-doors meeting between some of the families of those who died and representatives from the pharmaceutical companies responsible. The meeting resulted in an unprecedented legal settlement that ended years of courtroom fighting. The Crosses and their daughter Jennifer were featured in the 1996 award-winning 60 Minutes program, "Bad Blood," telling of the HIV crisis within the hemophilia community. But apart from that documentary—made before the legal settlements and governmental oversight changes that were finally realized—the tragic events have largely gone untold. "I felt like the story was fading away, and that it was important to record some of the history of what happened so that no one ever has to face anything like this again," said Cross. "I hope my book will be a helpful reminder, and encourage people to continue to ensure that we have a clean blood supply."

98 740iL - Keeps over heating
Hey i own a 98 740 il the car has been having some problems first thing i did was have a new thermostat placed in it and after that when the car idle it started to puff white smoke need some help with that as well but i want to address the over heating issue im having, well my lil nephew wanted to be helpful and put water in my radiator but he did not put the cap back closed my hood me not knowing he was being helpful i drove to work and on my way bck it started over heating so i parked it, it has bee seating for about 7 months now and i am now getting a chance to get to it but its over heating soon as the eng. revs up and starts to heat up can someone please help me....
Does the white smoke smell sweet? If it does, it could mean that the head gasket is leaking coolant into the combustion chamber, which can be caused by a bad overheat.
If the coolant guage goes straight to the red zone when you start the car, either you have air in the system, or the coolant guage or coolant sensor are broken.
Did you replace the thermostat because of an overheat, or did the car start overheating after you changed the thermostat?
i replaced when i took it to the shop and had it on the diagnostic the area kept coming up saying it needed to be replaced, now i have gotten it started the heat temp gauge is now showing as it is cold and it has a really bad tapping sound but before the car setup i had an oil change completed as well. i'm really lost on what to do
I don't know if the overheat happened before or after the thermostat was replaced, but first try bleeding the air out of the cooling system using the bleeding procedure posted here: www.E38.org
After you are done with the bleeding as stated by Balance, and still have problems, check coolant for color (brownsih?), look for milky oil. A compression test would be the best thing that I would recommend in a overheating situation. This will tell for sure if the headgasket is blown or not.
When I had my E31, I had this issue. If the car was constantly moving it maintained its temperature but would overheat and boil over at stoplights. Turned out the fan clutch was past its' useful life. It felt fine when I spun it by hand but apparently the internals were not functioning properly. Changed it out and she was a different car.
Wouldn't ever recommend running with the rad cap unlocked. Without the right pressure in the system nothing will circulate properly. A BMW bud once told me when trying to bleed the air out it's best to try getting the front end of the car on a steep incline so the radiator overflow tank is clearly the highest point. Seemed to work for me, either way the air will work its way out, will be stubborn though.
I had exactly same problem, when i was driving my coolant temp when up, catch here is when u idle coolant goes up but when u drive it cools down, so anyways i ordered new thermostat and new radiator hose, once u change ur thermostat and hose u have to do one other thing, even after u change these stuff, radiator doesnt get antifreeze to thermostat from its hose so pull the radiator hose out that goes to thermostat and pour antifreeze in der till it tops off this way u putting the whole system back on track after that car will be fine again
Dunno if this the VERY best of E39 Links information is applicable to the E38 but it should be almost totally the same when it comes to dire problems such as these...

Hope these links help.

Aug. 9, 2009
"We've had five practices and it's been extremely competitive. Everyone wants to talk about how many spots are open. Everyone wants to talk about starters. It's about the depth chart on offense, defense and special teams.
"As far as Saturday's practice, I thought it was extremely competitive. I thought it was a game-like atmosphere. We put them in that mind-set. We brought them out there early just like it was game day, got warmed up, came back into the locker room and brought them back out the same way that we would for a game. The offense had very good success, especially early on. To see the explosive plays was really good for us. In the spring on offense, I did not think we were very explosive. So to see some big plays was very good. I think it's very good for our team. Our team, when we got here, found itself as a defensive team. You could see that just by the interaction of the defensive players and the offensive players. The defense was up here and the offense was down here. So even though we want to see our defense play great -- we're never happy when we give up big plays - we're happy to see our offense playing extremely well."
On how the freshmen have an equal shot to play
"From day one I've talked about in recruiting that our freshmen will get their shot to play and play early. That's not a recruiting ploy. That's a chance to find out who are our championship players -which guys can be good. As you saw on offense Saturday, a lot of skill position freshmen touched the ball a lot and it was really interesting to see the film and watch how they kind of showed up. We kept seeing that almost every other play a freshman was involved. Offensively, you'd see them play a little more, but some defensive guys played well, especially in the secondary. Our freshmen have already made an impact early, and it's creating competition. It's making our veterans understand that these guys are here to take their spots. We're a team, but these guys are here to take their spots so they better strap it up."
On how much the offensive line has improved
"Two years ago, our offensive line led the nation in the least sacks given up. We don't watch much of that film because it's not our system and it really doesn't do us much good to watch it. We've got our style and our system. But we did watch some stuff from last year. But it doesn't really matter. Our defense was third in the country last year, but it doesn't help us now. We didn't look like the third-best defense in the country Saturday. We're not really worried about where we were ranked before. We've got to come to play every day. We expect our guys to play extremely well and be successful.
"I would say it would be a fair assessment to say our offensive line has improved the most of any group since the spring. We've had a great offseason. Aaron Ausmus has done a great job with our strength program, especially for our guys who needed to lose weight. Guys have dropped a bunch of weight. I just scrambled over here from a team meeting where we were watching clips of guys. The day I got here I talked about our linemen being too fat. There's a reason for that. We have to be able to play extremely athletic and extremely quick. We saw it Saturday. For a guy like Jarrod Shaw, who's lost more than 24 pounds since we got here - Saturday there was a 47-yard touchdown run and he's on the backside and I promise you in the spring he wouldn't have gotten that cut. He wouldn't have been able to do it. So that's a seven-point play just from losing that weight. I'm extremely excited about improving our offensive line."
On having his father, Monte Kiffin, on staff
"I've said it before, it's exciting to have him here. But it's really exciting to have him here because he's such a phenomenal teacher and coach. Our coaches and players know his great success with players and all the great defenses he had at Tampa. But he coaches our coaches so well. Our position coaches, our GAs, they get better every day. They come in and have a list of notes ready. They get there at 6 in the morning and have a list of stuff on how they can get better as coaches. It's great to have him for our players, but also for our coaches."
On the linebackers and their play
"Speaking of linebackers, Savion Frazier played great and we needed to see that. Rico McCoy was out and Frazier had an up-and-down spring, and for him to come out and make a number of significant plays was really good to see. LaMarcus Thompson made a number of plays, too. The whole time we've been here, we've shuffled guys around and tried to find the best scenario to get them in the right spot. When you have three different linebackers, we need different guys to play those spots. It's not like we can pick a guy to play both. A lot of them can only play one. It's such a complicated defense as far as doing things right. We've got to continue to improve our linebackers."
On the quarterbacks and if one has emerged more than the other
"We need our quarterback to lead our group and make plays and make some hard decisions. They both played extremely well Saturday. I think Jonathan was 12-of-16 with one throwaway, so he only had three incompletions. Nick played well, too. Both guys have played really well. Everyone wants to know who the starter is, but most importantly is for both guys to play well. Whoever is the starter, the other guy is going to end up playing at some point. Having both guys play well is a lot better than having one guy play well and one guy not."
On veterans not being guaranteed a starting spot
"Josh McNeil is a good example. He's made 35 straight starts, but it doesn't matter what happened before. It doesn't. He's in a big-time competition. He came in Saturday, sat down and thanked us for doing that because he wasn't playing at the highest level that he could play at because he had become comfortable. He was the guy and he could just show up on game day. It was neat to see him come into our office and thank us for putting him into a competition. He's gained about 12 pounds because he knew if he didn't gain and hit the weight room then he would be sitting on the bench. It's great to see that happening."
On Gerald Jones and his practice performances
"Gerald has been phenomenal. He's had a cast on his hand but he's been making plays. A lot of times he has to catch it with one hand. He made a big play Saturday for 60-some yards down the middle. We really looked for Gerald to come in and say, `You know what, I can't really catch. Maybe I should take off part of practice.' He's worked harder than anybody out there."
On having a staff that has a lot of NFL coaching experience
"I think the players believe in what we're doing with so much success that we've had on our staff. I think that makes it natural to want to buy into what we're doing. Somebody should do a story and follow us around for a day and see what it's like. They're going non-stop. Half of them sleep in there. It's just a competitive atmosphere. We're always trying to find a way to be better than somebody else and we challenge them with that all the time: Your job as a position coach is to have the best position group on this whole team. I've been so impressed with our staff.
"In the NFL - I don't think anybody can argue - it's the highest level of Xs and Os. You do it all day long. You don't go on the road recruiting. You don't spend time on recruiting weekends. You're not on the Big Orange Caravan. You're doing ball all the time. So the level of Xs and Os is so competitive that a lot of times you see guys have great success coming back from the NFL schematically going back to college. It's different. If you're a college coach your whole career, half the year you haven't done football. You spend half the year recruiting and half the year coaching. After 10 years, add that up. That's 60 months of ball. So there is a difference."

"Christ plays in ten thousand places, lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his to the Father through the features of men's faces." -- Gerard Manley Hopkins
How easy it is to see the face of Christ in the eyes of a baby or the limbs of a child racing a kite or the features of a movie star. The key to eternal life is to behold the loveliness of Christ in the eyes of a child born blind, the limbs of a teenager with cerebral palsy, the features of a woman scarred with burns. The truth is -- the beauty is -- each wears the face of Christ and they all play as one.
How many times have I averted my eyes from a picture in TIME of a starving baby with flies on her face or didn't pay attention to the fellow slumped over in a wheelchair at a wedding or found an excuse not to visit a friend wasting away with cancer or pretended the family at the diner who had a noisy child with Down syndrome didn't exist? And what a blessing it becomes to begin to see with spiritual eyes and behold the image of the emaciated baby as she really is, whole, to touch the cripple in the wheelchair and say hello, to visit a friend or acquaintance in the hospital or nursing home with a great big smile, and to stop by the table with the Down child and touch his shoulder and tell him and his parents what a wonderful family they are. The truth is -- the wonder is -- that the words of Christ are literally true: "Whatever you do unto these, you do for me." And what we do for Christ we do for them and for ourselves and for the whole human race. For all of us, each of us, are one.
The new science of metapsychiatry validates this teaching by demonstrating that we all have a spiritual faculty to enter a rehab room and see the Christ who plays in 10,000 places, to help a homeless woman push her shopping cart across the street and know that the story of St. Christopher is the story of us all. Metapsychiatry calls this ability to realize what is really before our eyes the faculty of beholding. Beholding is a higher faculty than the intellect or imagination or intuition, but one we have not been taught to cultivate. To behold is to see the invisible (what is real and lasting) in the visible (what appears and disappears). The body comes and goes, but the spirit remains forever. St. Paul teaches: "Look not at the things that which are seen but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal while the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18). Psychiatrist Thomas Hora (1914-95), who founded metapsychiatry upon the teachings of Jesus and spiritual learnings from other religions as well as psychiatry, writes:
Each of us can behold the truth of being in all of us.
Prayer: Jesus, the next time I see someone with what doctors call cerebral palsy or Down syndrome, grace me with the sight to realize what is really there: goodness, innocence, love, joy, intelligence, and abundant beauty. You embraced lepers and felt purity and the scales fell from their faces. Help me to know, right now: When I look at anyone I am looking my self, I am looking at you, for all of us, each of us, is a spiritual aspect of you and only you! God bless everyone! I close my eyes now and remember someone I've passed by or ignored and ask you to see love for me. I am learning that I can behold you and everyone with the same eyes that you behold us. I am going to sit still now and listen — and see. Thank you, Jesus. I have to go now and call someone up or maybe go to the hospital.

If North Carolina had a state building like it has a state flower, I'd vote for the tobacco barn. Thousands of these humble buildings have dotted our landscape for the last hundred years. Used to flue cure tobacco in late summer, they are all the same size - about 24 x 24 x 20 feet high. They have a gable roof, like a Greek temple. Yet each one was modified by the farmer who built it, adding a porch for shade, or a shed to store equipment out of the weather, or a longer shed for folks to gather and grade tobacco. Looking at an old tobacco barn you can tell which way the winds blow, and where the rains come from, by the way the farmer added a porch.
Tobacco barns are an example of the universal made particular, and are a monument to the native wisdom of farmers who knew their place in the land.

Forensic Mental Health Assessment: A Principles-Based Model
Length: 6 hours
Part of the ABPP 4th Annual Summer Workshop Series.
The annual ABPP Workshop Series provides top quality professional development opportunities to psychologists, as well as opportunities for networking and collegial interaction. All workshops are instructed by psychologists who are ABPP board certified specialists in their area of presentation, with the occasional exception being a highly respected individual of another profession, such as law.
Recordings were selected from highlighted, day long programs at the 2013 Series.
This workshop will focus on the current iteration of broad, foundational principles of forensic mental health assessment. By focusing on each principle in the presentation and discussion, and providing participants with relevant scientific and professional literature, the workshop provides an opportunity to consider, debate, and draw conclusions about good forensic practice across a variety of clinical-legal topics.
Presenter: Kirk S. Heilbrun, PhD, ABPP
Dr. Heilbrun is currently professor, Department of Psychology, Drexel University. His research and practice interests involve forensic mental health assessment, violence risk assessment and risk management, and community alternatives to prosecution of individuals with severe mental illness. He runs a forensic clinic in the Department of Psychology that provides forensic evaluations to courts and attorneys in criminal, juvenile, and occasionally civil areas. He is a past president of the American Psychology-Law Society and the American Board of Forensic Psychology.

Fuse the Old and New World together with the Masanobu Gyoutu 7" knife from Korin. Combining traditional Japanese knife craftsmanship with modernized computerized lasers, the company produces a stain-resistant, VG-10 cobalt steel blade, which is said to retain an excellent level of sharpness even over time. When we first tried the knife, sharpness is precisely what we discovered: its double-edged blade was a pleasure to use, and its octagonal-shaped wood handle was also a plus, providing a great grip that made it feel secure to hold. This all-purpose knife, which also comes in four larger sizes, is described as being ideal for cutting meat, fish and vegetables. Our only issue was a few rust spots that appeared after only about one month of usage, but this is also something that Korin warns will happen if it is not washed and dried immediately after use. If you're going to spend this much on a knife, make sure to take good care of it, and it will last a lifetime.

Steve Kempf wants FAS to be the No. 1 brand in acquisition
Some agency leaders can inspire employees with a vision of the future and motivate them to work hard to achieve it. Those leaders enter as if they rode in on a white stallion.
Other leaders arrive on a workhorse. They aren't hailed with cheers or thunderous applause. Instead, they make people realize that it's time to get down to business.
Steve Kempf has been commissioner of the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service since July, and he arrived leading a workhorse. In an interview before taking on that role, Kempf said his strategy "will largely be in the context of this administration, GSA's current thinking and then finally where FAS wants to take the [Multiple Award] Schedules program."
Kempf gave his first speech as commissioner Nov. 2 at the Coalition for Government Procurement's annual Fall Conference. The gathering lacked an atmosphere of excitement or lavish praise for Kempf.
"He's not making a lot of waves, and there are no big steps," said John Howell, a partner at the Sullivan and Worcester law firm, after the speech.
It seems that the leaders on white stallions are already here and have cast their grand visions. Kempf specifically referenced Obama administration officials "who see GSA as an asset" and GSA Administrator Martha Johnson. Johnson has enthused GSA employees since 2009 with her vision of customer intimacy, innovation and operational excellence.
Kempf's vision is simple, and it's about work. "It's very important for us to meet our obligations and our commitments" to make FAS the No. 1 brand, he said.
He said that in the next decade, FAS will become agencies' first choice when they need to make a purchase because FAS will offer easy-to-use tools, fast service and a wealth of options.
Kempf is moving ahead on many fronts by taking the infrastructure that was already in place and making it work. He is launching new Web-based tools, including eOffer/eMod, which allows companies to electronically submit new offers and requested modifications to their schedule contracts. Early in 2011, GSA officials plan to enable government customers to manage their contracts online with such tools.
Kempf also said he recognizes the growing importance of data in this era of transparency. He said FAS customers need to have easy access to data about sales and pricing so they can see whether they're getting the best deal for their money. And he plans to get that information for them.
A Knack for Getting Things Done
Roger Waldron, new president of the Coalition for Government Procurement and a retired GSA official, said Kempf is working on projects that started during Waldron's tenure at the agency.
"He's carrying them to fruition," Waldron said, adding that the projects are important building blocks.
Although Kempf is not making waves, Howell and others are quick to say he was a good choice for FAS commissioner.
A GSA employee who attended the conference said Kempf knows FAS well. He joined GSA in 1992 as a marketing coordinator at the Office of Technology Assistance and has since held leadership positions at the Federal Systems Integration and Management Center, the Office of Integrated Technology Services and FAS.
Kempf knows FAS' challenges because he has been on the front lines for years and has worked on the operational and strategic sides, said the employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The employee added that Kempf couples experience with research. Kempf marshals his resources well and can often point employees to research that is relevant to their particular projects.
Kempf's success as FAS commissioner will likely center on collecting more data about pricing and transparency. He will also be a leader in the emerging world of green procurement, the employee said.
Furthermore, Kempf is down to earth and doesn't think of himself as above everyone else. "He's not in an ivory tower or on a high horse," the employee said.

Clem, I hate to disagree with you but you are wrong. GSA Schedule prices are competitive. I'm not sure what market you are working in or if you competitively use Schedules.
Shouldn't quality products at reasonable prices be listed in your priorities somewhere. It's nice to hear that you like to play with toys, but what about saving the taxpayer money? It is no secret that when you buy off GSA Scedules and Contracts that you are generally paying the highest prices in town. GSA has never made contracting work better and from the list of your priorities will certainly not change that trend. President Obama, save some money and abolish all Acquisition lines of business within GSA. Cost of materials and services will go down and you will save a lot of money by eliminating the payroll and infrastructure associated with this line of business.

I don't know what kind of pick up line making nachos is, but apparently it works out great for Alain DuPont. He gets Rick LaFonte in the house, although he makes the mistake of letting Rick in the laundry. He goes in there and starts sniffing all of the underwear, which gets Alain to come in the room and demand a blowjob. It's a very odd scene to start off with, but they end up having sex in the middle of the laundry room. Now that beats the laundromat any day, although gay pantie sniffing is a new one for me.

When it comes to budgeting, no one needs a crystal ball more than a manager-level government employee trying to eke more life out of old assets or plan a major upgrade.
As recently as August, the Commerce Department reported that record construction spending by all levels of government was picking up the economic slack left in the wake of the slowest residential market in decades. But just a few months later, the management consulting and investment banking firm FMI predicted cutbacks of 5% to 10% for 2009 municipal budgets, and the American Institute of Architects' billing index reached its lowest levels in years.
Guessing how U.S. foreign policy may affect oil prices and, in turn, basic expenses like asphalt and electricity, is always a shot in the dark. But who could have predicted a perfect trifecta — the highest oil prices, largest decline in property and sales tax revenues, and toughest credit market in years — would converge to throw a wrench into short- and long-term plans? Accustomed to all manner of crises, financial and otherwise, PUBLIC WORKS readers re-evaluated their options and found ways to move projects forward.
Let's consider what a public works director in the Western United States faced last fall, a scenario no doubt familiar to many readers.
Located in Montana's fastest-growing county, Bozeman offers excellent skiing, access to Yellowstone National Park, and is home to Montana State University. To accommodate growth, the city designed a wastewater plant upgrade to increase treatment capacity from 5.8 mgd to 8.5 mgd.
When opened in October, bids on the $49 million construction phase were 34% to 64% higher than estimated. Unable to postpone because of permit requirements and excessive organic loadings, the city did a cost/benefit reanalysis and devised a new plan of attack: narrow the project's scope, raise rates, and borrow more money.
The city decided to forgo dewatering capability and rebid construction of a new administration building instead of making it part of the overall project. Future rate increases will be in the neighborhood of 10% instead of 2%. Still, the city must borrow 58% more from the state's revolving loan fund than originally anticipated.
"We're hardly dead in the water," says Public Services Director Debra Arkell. "We're still seeing building activity, but growth isn't what we'd experienced over the last several years. We were banking on it continuing at 5% to 6%, and for impact fees to defray more of the cost than they will now. We also anticipated moving right from the first to the second phase of the project, but now that probably won't be necessary."
So the mood was grim in early November when we asked readers to share their spending expectations for the year. Overall, operating and capital budgets are consistent with 2008 levels. When we asked the same questions in November 2007, readers reported an overall increase for maintenance and consistent funding levels for 2008 capital improvement programs.
As always since launching our annual "outlook" survey with the January 2005 issue, we heard from men and women whose operations provide virtually any type of infrastructure-related service a city, county, state, or special district can think to provide. In addition to streets, roads, and bridges; drinking water; wastewater and stormwater; fleets; solid waste; grounds, buildings, and rights of way; and engineering and/or planning, feedback came from managers involved in animal control, public transit, and electric utilities.
Respondents' budgets range from less than $1 million to $50 million or more, and they serve communities with less than 10,000 to more than a million residents (see charts on next page). We analyzed data by EPA region (see map below) to provide a general overview of budget expectations in 10 areas of the country and Canada.
Although national and global financial markets were in chaos when our survey was deployed, respondents blamed cutbacks in planned new construction or capital improvements on material costs more than tight credit. Readers working in the water and wastewater sectors — or any enterprise operation — reported more funding increases than those whose departments rely primarily on general revenues for funding.
"I'm forecasting a flat sales year, but not a significant reduction reduction in work because most of our infrastructure projects are regulatory-driven," says William Spearman III, a vice president at engineering firm Woolpert Inc. "Bonding concerns are affecting large projects. Projects that have been designed aren't proceeding to construction. There's a reluctance to return to the marketplace with interest rates still above-average."
By themselves, though, numbers don't reveal much about the average reader's psyche.
Our request to suggest a slogan for the year provides valuable insight into how managers choose to interpret their situation. For every respondent who's looking forward to a challenging year, another is determined to capitalize on the precedent set by a national leader who's repeatedly indicated his commitment to infrastructure.
So for every suggestion along the lines of Depression Lite and No fine wine in '09 unless we walk the thin line, we received something like Move forward and things should be fine; be optimistic for 2009.
The concept of "eco-infrastructure" popped up as well, reflecting readers' increased exploration of "green" alternatives: wetlands instead of treatment plants, full or partial reclamation instead of new pavement, compost instead of gravel on roadsides. Although the debate over the ultimate cost-effectiveness of green buildings continues, infrastructure managers clearly see a public relations opportunity as well, as indicated by slogans like Green today for growth tomorrow and Live green, stay green.
In addition to electing an infrastructure-hip president in November, voters also approved almost $40 billion in new borrowing for infrastructure.
American Public Works Association members have 3,600 road-widening, paving, traffic-light-and-signal repair, highway intersection improvement, storm drain pipe realignment, pumping station improvement, sewer line replacement, treatment plant upgrade, water valve replacement, pedestrian underpass safety improvement, and sidewalk repair projects ready to go within 90 days once $15 billion in funding is made available.
As of mid-December, 641 cities had identified 15,221 projects in 10 sectors — including street/metro roads, transit, water and wastewater infrastructure, and airport technology — worth $97 billion. The U.S. Conference of Mayors is lobbying Congress and President Barack Obama hard for a corresponding MainStreet Recovery plan that w would create 1.2 million jobs over the next two years, almost half the president's goal. Whether their r their recommendations become part of a second economic-stimulus legislative package in the $700 billion billion range remains to be seen.
Regardless of how much of the legislation is devoted to infrastructure, numerous parties will be working in the same space at the same time.
"We haven't seen this level of funding since the 1950s, but we're still coordinating projects much the same way we did then," says Martha Bednarz of Envista, a company whose software allows public and private utilities to share project dates and locations. "For the economic stimulus to work the way the new president envisions, we'll need to use new technology to manage all the infrastructure projects getting under way at the same time."
The wild card is whether the law requires funds to be dispersed through the states or allocates them directly to cities and counties that have approved projects ready to go.
And that depends in large part on Raymond LaHood, an Illinois Republican who served in the U.S. House of Representatives for 14 years before being named U.S. Transportation Secretary last month. His appointment was applauded by Building America's Future, a coalition formed last year by the governors of California, New York, and Pennsylvania to promote the value of infrastructure investment to U.S. economic growth.
"The new Administration and Congress are poised to make a once-in-a-generation investment in infrastructure," the organization announced in response to LaHood's nomination. "We call on them to reform the failed policies of the past and craft a bold economic recovery bill that addresses urgent national needs and delivers results, cost-effectiveness, accountability, and transparency."
Candidates for the Cabinet position had included Steve Heminger, executive director of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, which is the transportation planning agency for the San Francisco Bay Area.

Craig Platt goes behind the curtain to discover what it takes to become a member of one of the world's top cabin crews.
You've got to get the walk right. Chin up, to project confidence, but not so high as to make you look arrogant. Make eye contact with the people you pass. Take moderate steps. The slit in your dress is long, and you don't want to expose your legs as you walk. You must appear graceful and gracious. When people see you walking through an airport, they will know who you are. Remember that you're an ambassador, not just for an airline, but for an entire country.
This is what Madam Choong Lee Fong, Malaysia Airlines' cabin crew training and standards manager, drills into her students at flight attendant school. Located in a huge concrete block in Kuala Lumpur, the training centre is home to up to 600 flight attendants at a time.
Madam Choong has a reputation to uphold. Malaysia Airlines cabin crews were voted the second-best in the world in last year's respected Skytrax survey of 15 million passengers worldwide (down from first place in 2007).
Learning how to walk elegantly is just a small component of a training regime that takes in areas such as flight safety procedures, emergency response, food service, grooming and even social etiquette.
"Staff might be invited to represent the airline at a dinner or event," explains Madam Choong, "so they need to know how to sit down properly at the table."
In the grooming class, a large group of male students are busy buffing their nails. Their hands need to look good when they're serving passengers food, Madam Choong says.
Meanwhile, the women in the class are getting lessons on doing their hair and make-up. There are mirrors on every wall of the classroom, so the students can keep as close an eye on themselves as the instructors do.
The men don't get the make-up lessons, but they are taught how to care for their skin - moisturising is important, we're told, when your working environment is so dry.
From day one the students are being observed, Madam Choong says. The school staff will monitor their progress closely to ensure that, at the end of the course, they not only know all the technical information and safety procedures they require, but that they look good too.
And they do look good. But, we're told, the airline isn't looking for Miss Universe candidates, they just want people who can look graceful in the uniform. The exhaustive interview process also provides the selectors an chance to examinethe presentability of the candidates.
But attitude is more important, Madam Choong says. "Are they presentable? Respectable? Do they make you feel comfortable? Do they seem approachable?"
Interpersonal skills and public speaking training also form part of the training. Voice training is also covered - while the flight attendants might generally speak softly to passengers, they need to be able to up the amplitude if they're issuing instructions in an emergency.
As for their looks, Madam Choong tells us that the training will transform them.
It is true that there are height and weight restrictions for the cabin crew. The flight attendants have to be tall enough to access the bags in the overhead compartments, with a minimum height of 165 centimetres for women and 176 centimetres for men. Their weight must be within the healthy range determined by the standard body mass index (BMI).
Like flight attendants everywhere, there's a perception in Malaysia that working for the airline is a glamorous gig. Madam Choong brings those views crashing back to earth as quickly as possible.
"We remind them that it is not so glamorous when you are on your knees in the aisle cleaning up the vomit of a drunk and still trying to look elegant," she says.
Drunks are one of the most common problems flight attendants must deal with, and the students must go through several `role play' situations where they are forced to deal with the type of problem passengers they are likely to encounter once they start flying. Often, the scenarios are taken directly from actual incidents on flights.
The attendants are also given first aid training, which they are required to take refresher courses in on a regular basis. Training includes the delivery of babies, and in the training room we see the (somewhat amusing) plastic model of a woman's genital area, complete with plastic baby peeking out. Births on planes do happen - at the start of the year a baby was born on a Northwest Airlines flight from the Netherlands to the US. In that case a doctor was on board, sparing the crew from the task of delivery.
Aside from having to cope with tough situations, Malaysia's flight attendants face other drawbacks to - particularly the women. One trainer reveals that female cabin crew are not allowed to have children in the first five years of service (they are not allowed to work while pregnant). In addition, they face retirement at age 45 - ten years earlier than the men.
In all, the course takes months, though different courses exist for different aircraft - safety procedures and cabin layouts vary, and the training varies accordingly.
As we leave, a group of flight attendants and pilots are going through ocean landing training. They jump from a full-scale model jet into an indoor pool, fully clothed, and practice how to draw the attention of search aircraft by forming a large circle and kicking up the water. It may be a serious subject but, as the crew splash about in the water, it makes at least some parts of being a flight attendant look kind of fun.
Craig Platt is online travel editor. He travelled to Kuala Lumpur as a guest of Malaysia Airlines.

ELIAS, Elimoel Abraão; BACCHI, Osny Oliveira Santos y REICHARDT, Klaus. EXACT EQUATIONS FOR SOIL PARTICLE-SIZE ANALYSIS BY GAMMA-RAY ATTENUATION. Sci. agric. [online]. 1999, vol.56, n.1, pp.93-96. ISSN 0103-9016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-90161999000100014.
Soil particle-size analysis by gamma-ray attenuation was first suggested in 1992 and improved in 1997 by diminishing the measurement time and adapting it for automation. It is here demonstrated that when the mass attenuation coefficient mw and the density Dw are replaced by ms and Ds (where the subscripts w and s stand for water and solution) in the approximate equations used to estimate the concentration of suspended particles, they become exact. The demonstration is based by treating the dispersant and water solution as one single medium, instead of treating them as two media. In this way, six variables are reduced to only three. Physical considerations suggest that the precision in this analysis could be improved if other types of solutions and of photon energies would be used, so that the attenuation by the particles would differ more significantly from the attenuation by the solution.
Palabras clave : granulometry; soil mechanical analysis; soil texture; gamma attenuation.

Workplace Giving Makes a Big Impact on ABCD's Mission
from Community Health Charities to In-House Campaigns
ABCD's fundraising costs – and time spent fundraising – are kept reasonable because we are committed to efficient fundraising activities. One of the most efficient is workplace giving. Generous support through workplace giving efforts help assure our distinct one-to-one mentoring services are available without cost at all times, anywhere.
That is why ABCD is an active member of Community Health Charities of Wisconsin (CHC-WI), which participates in workplace giving campaigns throughout the State. And, there are Community Health Charities campaigns throughout the nation.
We are proud of CHC-WI's collaboration with two of Wisconsin's United Way campaigns, Greater Milwaukee and Dane County. These collaborations are prime examples of charitable organizations working together to efficiently raise funds for the many causes that make our communities better places to live.
Participation in CHC-WI campaigns is truly helpful to ABCD because CHC-WI allows donors to directly designate the CHC-WI charities donors wish to support and because CHC-WI's administrative costs are extremely low. Not to mention…ABCD is at the top of the CHC-WI alphabetical list!
If you are in Wisconsin, you can support ABCD through workplace giving as follows:
United Way of Greater Milwaukee campaigns include all member charities of CHC-WI
Dane County/CHC-WI collaborative campaigns
All other Wisconsin locations, through independent CHC-WI workplace campaigns
If you are outside Wisconsin, check with your United Way or Community Health Charities campaign for your state. ABCD has received designated gifts from a number of workplace giving campaigns throughout the country. To learn how to indicate ABCD should receive your workplace giving support, consult your campaign representative. Or, contact ABCD and we will determine the right contact person together.

MLB ROUNDUP: Arroyo, Reds blank Giants
Bronson Arroyo pitched a seven-hitter for his sixth career shutout, beating Tim Lincecum and San Francisco 11-0 for his first victory at AT&T Park and No. 100 with Cincinnati on Monday night.
Arroyo (9-7) struck out six and didn't walk a batter in his 15th career complete game, a 108-pitch gem that ended in 2 hours, 45 minutes.
Devin Mesoraco and Shin-Soo Choo homered in the second inning off Lincecum, pitching for the first time since his no-hitter at San Diego.
Jay Bruce also hit a solo homer, Todd Frazier added a three-run double, and Derrick Robinson, a late addition to the lineup, had three hits.
Mesoraco, a Punxsutawney native and No. 1 pick of the Reds in the 2007 draft, hit his fifth home run of the season. He is batting .250 with 27 RBIs in 58 games.
BRAVES 2, METS 1: Jason Heyward made a diving catch with runners on first and second and two outs in the ninth inning after pinch-hitter Reed Johnson hit a go-ahead single with two outs in a two-run top half, leading Atlanta to a comeback victory over New York.
Playing for the first time after missing six games with a strained right hamstring, Heyward made a long run to his right and slid along the wet grass after grabbing pinch-hitter Justin Turner's fly ball.
The Braves took advantage of catcher John Buck's passed ball to score twice in the ninth against closer Bobby Parnell (5-5).
The Braves did not get their first hit off Dillon Gee until Freddie Freeman led off the seventh with a single.
Jordan Walden (4-1) pitched the eighth for the win.
PADRES 5, BREWERS 3: Jesus Guzman homered and had three RBIs to lift San Diego over Milwaukee hours after the Brewers learned that Ryan Braun would be suspended for the rest of the season.
Guzman capped a four-run sixth inning off Tom Gorzelanny (1-4) with a two-out double that snapped a tie.
San Diego starter Andrew Cashner (6-5) pitched six solid innings and keyed the sixth-inning rally with a leadoff bunt single. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his 17th save in 18 chances.
MARLINS 3, ROCKIES 1: Tom Koehler (2-5) tossed seven strong innings, Ed Lucas homered, and Miami scored for the first time in four games in a victory over Colorado.
Giancarlo Stanton reached base three times, and Steve Cishek notched his 18th save for the Marlins, whose scoring drought reached a franchise-record 37 innings after suffering a three-game sweep at Milwaukee over the weekend.
Troy Tulowitzki hit his 17th home run and D.J. LeMahieu had three hits for the Rockies.
CUBS 4, DIAMONDBACKS 2: Rookie Junior Lake hit his first major league homer and drove in three runs to power Chicago over Arizona.
Lake's two-run homer off Tyler Skaggs (2-2) with no outs in the fifth inning gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead. Lake's RBI single in the ninth scored Darwin Barney with an insurance run.
Dioner Navarro hit a solo home run in the second for the Cubs.
The loss, coupled with Los Angeles' win in Toronto dropped the Diamondbacks out of first place behind the Dodgers in NL West.
Chris Rusin (1-0) got the win, and Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth for his 19th save.
DODGERS 14, BLUE JAYS 5: A.J. Ellis hit a two-run homer and drove in a career-best five runs, Hyun-Jin Ryu (8-3) pitched 5 1-3 innings, and Los Angeles beat Toronto for its fourth straight victory and 21st in 26 games.
Skip Schumaker added a three-run shot as the Dodgers moved a season-high four games above .500 and took over first place in the NL West.
Toronto made a season-high five errors and lost its fifth straight game. The Blue Jays have lost 12 of 16 overall.
RAYS 3, RED SOX O: Matt Moore (14-3) pitched a two-hitter for his first career shutout, and Tampa Bay beat Boston to move within a half-game of first place in the AL East.
Ben Zobrist had three hits and James Loney drove in two runs for the Rays, who won for the 18th time in 20 games.
The Rays have lost just twice since June 28, improving from fourth place and seven games out to within one win of the division lead.
RANGERS 3, YANKEES 0: Yu Darvish allowed two singles over 6 1-3 scoreless innings in his first start in 16 days, combining with three relievers on a three-hitter that carried Texas past New York.
Darvish (9-4), who last pitched July 6 before going on the disabled list with a right trapezius strain, struck out four and walked two. He left after allowing consecutive batters to reach in the seventh, having thrown 60 of 90 pitches for strikes.
Just before the game, the Rangers announced they had acquired right-hander Matt Garza from the Chicago Cubs. Garza likely will make his Texas debut Wednesday night against the Yankees.
All-Star closer Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his 31st save in 32 chances to cap the Rangers' eighth shutout of the season.
TIGERS 7, WHITE SOX 3: Max Scherzer (14-1) outpitched Chris Sale (6-9) in a matchup of All-Star pitchers, and Detroit overcame Miguel Cabrera's injury to beat Chicago.
With one out in the bottom of the fifth inning, Cabrera was replaced at third base by Don Kelly. The 2012 AL MVP, who appeared to be holding his left side as he walked off the field, was removed with a sore hip flexor muscle and will be evaluated Tuesday.
Cabrera, who became baseball's first Triple Crown winner in 45 years last season, has played in 97 of Detroit's 98 games this year. He began the day leading the AL with a .359 batting average and 96 RBIs.
ORIOLES 9, ROYALS 2: Chris Davis and J.J. Hardy each drove in three runs, and Baltimore defeated Kansas City to extend its winning streak to a season-high five games.
Davis, who leads the majors with 97 RBIs, drove in a pair of runs with a sixth-inning double and another with a sacrifice fly in the first inning.
Hardy homered, his 17th of the season, in the four-run sixth with Davis aboard. He picked up another RBI in the third when Davis scored on his groundout.
The Orioles' 18-hit attack matched their season high.
Scott Feldman (2-1), who was acquired in a July 2 trade from the Chicago Cubs, picked up the victory. He limited the Royals to five singles and two runs over eight innings.
ATHLETICS 4, ASTROS 3: Josh Reddick put Oakland on top with a two-run homer in the eighth inning, and the Athletics remained perfect this season against Houston.
Chris Young hit a solo homer for the A's, who are 10-0 against their new AL West foes this season and 15-1 all-time.
Houston took a 3-0 lead thanks in part to Oakland tying a season high with three errors. Young's shot cut the lead to one in the seventh before Reddick's drive to right field off Wesley Wright (0-4) made it 4-3.
MARINERS 2, INDIANS 1: Kendrys Morales and Mike Zunino each homered, Aaron Harang (5-8) pitched seven strong innings, and Seattle beat Cleveland to win its season-high seventh straight victory.
Morales led off the fourth inning with a homer and Zunino did the same in the fifth off Indians starter Ubaldo Jimenez, helping Seattle increase its league-leading total to 29 homers in July.
Nick Swisher homered in the first for the Indians.
TWINS 4, ANGELS 3: Clete Thomas homered and hit an RBI double and then robbed pinch-hitter Chris Iannetta of a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning to help Minnesota beat Los Angeles and hand Joe Blanton his major league-worst 13th defeat.
Samuel Deduno (6-4) allowed two runs, four hits and five walks over seven innings while striking out five on the anniversary of his first big league victory.

J. Cole's 'Cole World' LP On Track to Debut at No. 1
Rapper J. Cole is on top of the world right now. His debut album 'Cole World: The Sideline Story' is finally in stores and from its first-day impressions, the CD is flying off the shelves. According to HitsDoubleDaily, the Roc Nation rapper is poised to have the No. 1 album next week.
Early sales totals have Hollywood Cole selling 225-250,000 copies in its first week. Granted, those aren't Lil Wayne numbers, but for a first-time artist, these are not shabby figures at all. In fact, according to some reports, the album was sold out in stores on the day of its release. Cole had to go on Twitter to apologize to his fans who couldn't get a physical copy of the album. "Yall sold out so many stores today," he tweeted on Tuesday (Sept. 27). "iTunes it for now, stores will re-up tomorrow. We on pace. Much Love."
The album is currently holding the No. 1 spot on iTunes, outpacing downloads by Adele and Blink-182. Shockingly, J. Cole recently revealed that he just started using iTunes. "I know I'm so late on that," he says. "I'm just now getting into the habit of downloading songs off iTunes. It's so easy."
In any case, it's no surprise to us that 'Cole World' is selling like hotcakes. Songs like the bouncy jam 'Can't Get Enough,' to the introspective 'Dollar and a Dream III,' to the celebratory 'God's Gift,' makes this an impressive well-rounded rap album.

"Same-sex couples and other domestic partners are gaining more control over what happens to their mates in the hospital, under federal guidelines issued this week.
"Hospitals should not bar domestic partners from visiting their mates unless there's a medical reason, and partners should not be required to produce documents to prove their relationship, the guidelines say.
"...'Is this strong enough to ensure there will never be discrimination against same-sex couples? Of course not. But this should be a powerful statement,' said Tara Borelli, an attorney for Lambda Legal, a nonprofit group that filed suit against Jackson Memorial in the 2007 case."

officially served. And can I fax the response to the Plaintiff or does it need to be served on them? Does it matter that I wasnt served the complaint? This case is from a car accident I was involved in but I wasn't even driving. I was the passenger.
You should have served your response by mail to the attorney of record or "pro per" when you filed your repsonse with the court. The 30 days was the time you had to file your response after service on you. If you have an insurance company for anything, especially auto, tender your defense immediately.

you are suppoosed to serve your response by mail and then file it in the court house with a proof of service under penalty of perjury indicating that the response has been served. Consider hiring an attorney to assist you.Ask a similar question
If you are talking about filing a cross-complaint against the defendant, that is filed at the same time you file your Answer to the Complaint. Your questions is a little confusing. If you were not served with the Complaint (properly) you can fight that as well. As my colleague has stated, you should send this to the insurance carrier for the car you were a passenger in and they should provide you with an attorney to represent you. Good luck.

I'd hit that Helmet again with an airbrush if you ever get one. Costume As a whole it Looks great though!
What did you do for gloves and your shoes?
Gloves MOW misted gray and brown. The shoes are Tilos diving boots. They were black and the sole was gray so I just cover the black parts and painted gray. For the lines in the boot I used dimensional fabric paint. Still they need more work and the spikes.
The helmet still needs more work and thanks!:facepalm
Looks tight man.

Blown away by the service. I'm not a keyboard player -- I'm a drummer. I have a Roland Juno-G that I play around with, and now I have a controller to play around with. Had the pleasure of a brief acquaintance with the late George Duke (for a week on a cruise ship in 2010 and at a show in my town in 2011), and he was closely associated with this instrument. If I can coax 0.0000001 percent of his groove from this thing, I've achieved something great. Madd props to Bob Mondok for service and the availability of support.
First off, I have always wanted a Keytar....kind of as a joke honestly. But, after seeing the "way too low to pass" price of this keytar, I ordered and received it very quickly. After un-boxing and getting a feel for it, I am AMAZED! at how much I love this thing. The action is tight and feels very responsive. The weight is low, but not so low that it feels like a cheap piece of plastic. It's really just perfect (even comes with a guitar strap).
If I had one issue, it would be the drum pads. You really have to thump those things to get a sound, but that can be adjusted with software any ways. I don't really plan on using them as drum pads. Because there is "Light Feedback," you can easily assign them to be toggle buttons (great for selecting which of many synths I have to control).
Finally, the biggest, greatest thing about this Keytar is the fact that it plugs in to my 3rd gen iPad via the Camera Kit and, without external power or batteries, and works perfectly with all my iPad synths and DAWs. I have 5 other Midi keyboards that require either external power or the USB-Hub trick to work with my iPad. Alesis, you need to tout this as an IOS keyboard! At this price, I'll probably order another to be used just as a keyboard, too bad they don't make a left-handed version so I could wear both at the same time :)
Anyway, this is really a Must buy for anyone either wanting a trip back in time or just needs a solid keyboard with great options and IOS compatibility. For me, all of these apply and I couldn't be happier. People might laugh when I bust this out, but only until I take a ripping lead that will blow there minds.....then they will understand!
Thanks to Bob Mondock, my rep for helping me out!
I am a piano player and trying to learn the world of electric keyboards. I couldn't beat the price on this pretty little Vortex, and SO pleased, that with the Sweetwater rep's recommended MIDI cable, I took it out, plugged it into my Nord, and was rockin immediately!! I know it can do tons of stuff, but I'm happy I didn't get bogged down on settings and computer gobbildy gook! The touch sensitivity is better than my Korg or Nord, making it easy to play "louder" by striking the keys harder! The flashing little blue lights on the end are a piece of showmanship!
One of the coolest midi controllers around for live performances and great for midi sequencing.
With all it's features and depending on how you use it, it can be a very expressive piece of gear. The Vortex is very configurable and depending on how you program it and the particular synthesizer modules of either the hardware and/or software variety you use, you can get great results. Being able to split the keyboard and play two different synthesizer's on their own separate midi channels is a great feature.
Love the fact that it has a 5 pin din midi output jack for hardware in addition to the USB jack. I usually reject the controllers that only have a USB port because they can't drive a hardware synthesizer directly and I like to use it with both hardware and software.
I love my new alesis vortex. For it's price you can't beat it's functionality and flexibility. The fact that Sweetwater was selling it was a total confidence booster. Sweetwater rocks!
I have read some other reviews and would like to begin by pointing out that the ribbon, when set as a pitch controller, can be set to "stay the same" or "revert to normal" after one's finger is removed. Also, the cables are on the end of the keytar- just like a guitar. I don't set my guitar down on the ground and why should I expect to with a keytar? Just set it in a guitar stand or lay it on a keyboard stand. This keytar is very light and I like that. The "TILT" function lets you get CC#01 for tremolo and you can adjust the start and end points of that tilt. I would like 2 ribbon controllers. I haven't played a Roland yet and I might greatly want built in sounds at times, but then again, I might rather play great sounding soft synths all the time anyway. I am very pleased with this machine and can see myself buying this and more of this type of device. They are great fun. I love to stand up and play instead of staying seated in my home studio.
A great device for the ego ramp on your local stage! The unit works great, the only thing I didn't like about it is the battery option doesn't power the unit properly and the control knobs are in a bad place for tweaking on the fly during a solo. I'm really happy with it, the only people that don't like it are the guitar player's when ya blow em blazing smoke
Action on the keys are great, its very lightweight, and really quite nice to look at. I wish there was another ribbon controller or something on the neck for more sound expression, the knobs are just not sufficient for live modulation with this thing hanging around your shoulder. The accelerometer is very sensitive to slightest tilt (Take that as a good or bad thing), and takes a second to respond accordingly. That said, its not all jumbo and awkward looking like the Ax-synth, nor does it have a bloated price tag like the Lucina on account of not having a generic sound bank in it. Comes with the lite version of a software synth, but I don't bother. I use it exclusively to control hardware modules. My girlfriend said I don't look as dorky as she thought I would when I have it strapped on. And in the end, is that not what matters? That our girlfriends won't think we look dorky? Would buy again if it was destroyed by a booing bar crowd. Just wish it was black in color-what's that? They released a wireless black version? Ah fudge.
Overall this is a great MIDI controller for the price. The keys are very responsive and the after touch is really great to have. Most common MIDI parameters are are able to be stored in 23 presets. Lots of real time control options with knobs, ribbon and buttons. My only real complaint is that is has no dedicated Midi Song Select or Position Pointer. This is weird to me since it does have MIDI Start Stop. If it just had those two functions this would be the perfect keytar to date in my opinion. Maybe Alesis will add these functions in a software update if enough people get one.
I think it's a great keyboard, but I really miss the extra 8 keys I had in my Ax-7.
My feelings about this a overall positive but mixed. I've had a Casio AZ-1 since the mid 80's. I absolutely love the AZ-1. The Vortex is more closely modeled on that and a better substitute than the Roland models. The keyboard action is a bit mushy but the aftertouch is effective. Having assignable controllers is great, and there is a decent amount of flexibility in what you can assign to them. The thing is unbelievably light, it almost feels too light compared to my AZ-1. I'm not crazy about the placement of the pitch wheel and wish that were an assignable control. You can use the ribbon for pitch but if you go to the very edge in either direction the pitch goes back to center, not so great.
The pitch wheel is usable, I just wish it were more traditional.
My biggest problem with it is the shape and placement of the ports. Take a look at the picture and tell me how to set this down. The bottom should be flat!!! And with the ports on the bottom instead of the side you can't set it down that way anyway!
So, like I said, mixed feelings. There are some great features but some silly design choices. I haven't gigged it yet but am happy to have a backup for my AZ-1, relying on a 25 year old keyboard isn't ideal. Given the current crop of these keyboards I would recommend it over the Rolands.
This is a very flexible controller. It has lots of ways to select patches, send CC messages, and the controls are well placed and ergonomic. I have had 4 Keytars (KX-5, AX-7, AX-Synth, and Vortex) and this one really has a lot going for it. It has aftertouch and you can program each patch to send any number of commands to a midi module or VI. The accelerometer is also unique and very cool to use.
The reason I am giving 3.5 stars is because the user guide and docs leave much to be desired. It is not clear how some of the programming is done, and the quick start guide actually makes it more difficult some times I worked with someone on one of the forums who gave me a real time tutorial, and after that, it made sense. There should also be some software to copy or save patches and setups in my opinion.
The Vortex itself is pretty cool. It sets up and maps quickly to the iPad apps I've tried, and with my PC software. It works fine as a controller for my synth modules and hardware as well. The pitch wheel took some getting used to since it seems backwards to my senses, but that's not a problem. The strap seems to be held on snug enough to have some fun, and the included USB cable is extra long! The MIDI out port was a deal maker for me.
The problems I've had relate to Alesis themselves. When I registered the Vortex I was supposed to be able to download a software application for it. I tried off and on for two days before contacting Alesis. They of course told me to do everything I already tried. They then discovered they did actually have a problem on their end. After several days of back and forth I finally had the promised software, and it actually is pretty cool to play around with.
The only other problem is with Alesis fit and finish. When looking at the keys straight on there is a noticeable curve to them, instead of a nice straight line. It is a symmetrical curve so it doesn't affect technique. It just looks cheap. Alesis had to sacrifice quality for such a low price though. The half price sale made the faults liveable though.
Absolutely nothing but praise for Sweetwater though. Shipping was lightning fast. Packing was perfect, and Mike Baldonado continues to be my best rep yet.
This is a pretty nice controller. Lightweight, easy to set up - pretty much what you'd expect. The controls are right where you want them on a keytar - I don't have to do a whole bunch of practicing with it to do what I want. The octave + - on the neck is awesome, and pressing both resets it to 0, just like you'd expect. Fun to play. What are the cons? I The touch sensitivity is a REAL problem for me and the velocity curves (I've tried them all) don't help much. I'd expect a compressed velocity curve on this type of controller (like only goes from 90 to 127 or something) but there isn't one, and the flat velocity option is at a fixed volume, not assignable. Also some minor nits - could really used more keys, the accelerometer doesn't react smoothly. In all, I'm happy I picked this up, it's a fun addition to my rig!

"Particulars of Place" at The Brooklyn Rail
The Brooklyn Rail has posted a long poem by Richard O. Moore, a rare occurrence indeed. A little on Moore:
One of the original circle of anarchist poets centered around Kenneth Rexroth in the 1940s–including Robert Duncan, Jack Spicer, Philip Lamantia, Madelaine Gleason, William Everson, James Broughton, and Thomas Parkinson–RICHARD O. MOORE stopped publishing early on to devote himself to a career in public media, as an early member of the first U.S. public radio station, KPFA, and later as a co-founder of the 6th U.S. public TV station, KQED. Along the way he became an important cinema verite filmmaker, directing such works as Take This Hammer(1963) featuring James Baldwin and the well-known 10-part series USA: Poetry (1966), which includes the only sound footage of Frank O'Hara. His two films with Duke Ellington, Love You Madly (1967), and A Concert of Sacred Music (1967), are the subject of an essay he will contribute to a massive photo-biography of the musician forthcoming from Rizzoli in 2013. Moore's first book, Writing the Silences, was edited by Brenda Hillman and Paul Ebenkamp and published in 2010 by the University of California. At age 92, he continues to write, working on a new MS, Particulars of Place. He lives in Mill Valley, CA.
For more on Moore, including works from Writing the Silences and older poems originally published in Poetry, go here. And check out this piece by Garrett Caples on Moore and fellow Bay Area poet Richard Tagett.

Astronomers have uncovered more evidence for biblical cosmology. Analysis of the First Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey reveals the largest cosmic structure ever discovered, the greatest wall yet of galaxies. The Sloan Great Wall is 1.37 billion light years long, making it 80 percent longer than the Great Wall discovered about ten years ago. The size of the Sloan Great Wall means that astronomers now have found the largest cosmic structures predicted by the big bang. Since the Bible described the fundamentals of big bang cosmology thousands of years before any scientists or philosophers conceived of the concepts, this confirmation of big bang creation models helps support the Christian faith.
