Item # 158DMXWL1 | MFR # DMXWL1
This item is no longer available.
The DMX-WL1 is a two-piece system that wirelessly transmits high-definition video and audio from multiple A/V components to a compatible Sony BRAVIA HDTV or projector up to 65 feet away. It's a terrific way to get audio/video signals to a wall-mounted TV or ceiling-mounted projector situations where running cables between the sources and display can be difficult.
Place the transmitter unit in your A/V equipment rack. It can accommodate up to five high-def components, with four HDMI inputs and one component video. Hook up your best sources, like a Blu-ray player, PlayStation 3, and HD satellite box. The receiver unit connects to your TV or projector via the supplied HDMI cable, and can be placed nearby or attached directly to the back of compatible BRAVIA TVs. The DMX-WL1 system provides an uncompressed, all-digital connection between your components and display.
Previous wireless products have suffered from limited range or picture quality, but the DMX-WL1 is a real breakthrough. At a recent Sony dealer show, our TV buyer participated in a torture-test demo featuring a PlayStation 3 connected to the DMX-WL1. If a wireless system can handle fast-paced interactive high-def gaming, it can handle anything, and our buyer reported that gameplay was seamless.
Note: Other wireless devices operating in the 5GHz band, such as 5.8GHz cordless phones or 802.11n wireless network routers, may interfere with this product's audio/video transmission.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Does the NDA stay in place and prevent my new partners from competing? Should it be specified in the operating agreement/bylaws? How should this be handled?
You correctly recognize that these issues are out there and exist; certainly, if something ever goes wrong, attorneys will have to spend time researching and investigating these matters, and if there's room for disagreement, a dispute could get expensive to litigate. I agree with the prior attorneys' answers in that your questions cannot be answered without reviewing the specific documents involved.
The best advice I can give you is to take this entire situation to a business lawyer who can prepare an appropriate LLC operating agreement and NDA/non-compete. I strongly recommend that you avoid doing this yourself, for two reasons. First, an NDA/non-compete is designed to protect your business against losing its most valuable assets -- customer lists, proprietary methods, and other valuable trade secrets that, if shared with the competition, could cost you your livelihood. Second, the formation of a legal entity, either to hold an already-existing business or to hold a new multiple-owner company, is a highly complex task because of the securities, tax, and corporate issues that can arise. In particular, if you have multiple business partners, the tax situation is quite complex and requires an attorney who understands issues like allocation of profits and losses, capital accounts, "tax matters partner" provisions, and so on. (Most properly-written multiple-member LLC operating agreements have several pages of provisions dealing solely with the tax issues.) Continuing with the assumption that you choose an LLC for your business, you will have to come up with provisions to deal with what happens in the event that someone dies, becomes disabled, or leaves the business, and this overlaps with your question about the NDA. And frequently, these situations require compliance with securities laws too. A good attorney should be able to resolve all these matters relatively inexpensively so that you can go back to running your business.
Good luck!Ask a similar question
It depends on what your previously signed non disclosure agreement provides and/or what you all might agree to that might be different than what was provided.
PLEASE NOTE: This response is for general purposes only and does not establish an attorney-client relationship, nor is it legal advice. Please consult an attorney for legal advice particular to the circumstances of your situation.Ask a similar question
It is quite difficult to answer this question without reviewing the documents. It depends on what is intended and what is provided for in the NDA.

"Do you like tattoos?" was my standard pickup line.
OK, pretty cheesy, but hey, it worked most of the time.
I was sitting at a table at the Washington State Convention Center for two days last week surrounded by about 4,000 high-school journalists from all over the country.
It was the national Journalism Education Association/National Student Press Association's annual spring convention. The Washington News Council had an information table in the exhibit hall, along with dozens of college journalism schools, printing companies, yearbook publishers, etc. Most of the exhibitors had elaborate displays with banners, literature, video screens, bowls of candy, notepads and other giveaway items.
How to get students to stop at our table? We decided to give away temporary tattoos, which we unashamedly called "TAOttoos." The words "TAO of Journalism – Transparent, Accountable and Open" surround a black-and-white yin-yang symbol in a circular seal about the size of a poker chip.
They were the inspiration of Kathy Schrier, the WNC's part-time executive assistant, who is also executive director of the Washington Journalism Education Association and helps organize this conference every year.
I wore a TAOttoo on the back of each hand. I'd hold them out to show the kids as they walked by with their backpacks, gift bags, notebooks, cellphones, printed programs and handfuls of candy from the other tables. Most slowed down and stopped to learn more.
Here was my pitch: "The word TAO means 'the path' or 'the way.' This is a voluntary pledge to be Transparent about who you are, Accountable when you make mistakes, and Open to other points of view. If you take the pledge for your high-school newspaper or yearbook, you can wear and display the seal. If you do it today I'll give you TAOttoos for every member of your staff. I'll give you a cool poster with the TAO Pledge to hang in your newsroom. And I'll send you a digital version of the TAO Seal to print in your paper or post on your website. It's free. All I need is the name of your publication and an email address."
By the end of the two days, about 200 students from all over the nation had taken the pledge and put the TAOttoos on their hands, wrists, arms, necks or cheeks. I insisted they put them on before they left the table, and even provided wet paper towels so they could apply them on the spot.
Jacob Caggiano, my young WNC communications specialist, took over the table for a few hours one day while I did a session on the TAO concept in a large WSCC meeting room, and a roundtable discussion on opinion/editorial writing.
When I got back, I heard Jacob deliver his own version to a couple of young girls who approached the table: "So, tell me about your ethics," Jacob said to them.
They giggled – and stayed to chat. They took the pledge and signed the sheet. He gave them a poster. He gave them TAOttoos. They put them on the backs of their hands and seemed delighted at the result.
Another girl came by and took the pledge. She was an artist and showed us her portfolio. About two hours later, she came back with a graphic she'd just done and said we could use it on our website.
Summer Thornfeldt of Boise, Idaho, thanks for the TAOttoo art, which we've posted here.
It's totally TAO — Transparent, Accountable, and Open. How cool is that?

They are reporting he is on a suicide watch. I'd call his bluff and give him a straight razor. If I was wrong we wouldn't have to foot the bill for his appeal but I'm pretty sure he lacks the honor to use it.

I think, therefore I am...

The moderators have a job - moving threads not placed correctly is part of it - we're on Page 3 - I see no moderators objecting.
You are wrong.
And frankly, that your only reaction to this story of justice, courage, and the legal system with the community taking a stand against the sexual abuse of children is a brief : "Get Out of Here." and lacking in a basic human response -- like Scrooge at Christmas, but this worse: insensitivity to a terrible crime done daily somewhere -- well this is VERY IRRITATING, TO ME AT LEAST
And in spite of your summary judgement you still lurk about the thread like a voyeur peaking through the window.
Remove thyself and ponder. We need the first and you need the second.

I replied to Spirit51 with a no implying that I didn't think her idea made it better.
I am not a moderator, nor in case you haven't noticed are you. Their dicision not yours or mine.
The use of bold type and old english language is a nice touch. Maybe you could smote me with the fire and brimstone of the rightous.
No need to argue over petty stuff. If this needs to be moved it will be moved. I apologize for the breach in etiquette. I posted here right when I saw this on TV because A) I was logged on, and B) I know there's plenty of folks here that feel like I do. If you want to get me riled up start talking about abused children.
The outcome here gives us some serious things to think about. This man deserves as much punishment as our society will abide. But first off, the research is crystal clear. Sandusky was abused himself. He abused his son. His abused and codependent, Stockholm Syndrome afflicted wife spoke out in his DEFENSE.
And what is most important to understand is that a large majority of these traumatized young men will go on to be at a minimum sexually and socially dysfunctional, and probably sexually and physically abusive THEMSELVES.
So the lesson here is that when we see or suspect abuse, ACT! Don't turn a blind eye, don't let your normalcy bias undermine your instinct. If you think there is something wrong, there probably is. Only with early intervention can we at least curb this vicious, bad and ugly cycle.
(and if you should chose to just punch a sick SOB until he dies I'm actually all for that too)
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined." -Obligatory Founding Father Quote
I don't need to be a moderator - it's 3 page long thread - the moderators have spoken - then you did, again. You have a sole problem with the placement of a story dealing with child-molestation and its criminal practice and none expressed for child-molestation and its criminal practice. On what basis would you conceivably break into a thread that deals with that with your petty picking. And the same for what possible objection you could have to crab that this topic ISN'T properly placed. Read the title of the forum and then read the story. Why exactly doesn't this belong here, raisin-heart?
If Jesus came back to earth in all his glory you would whine about the holdup in traffic.

Holy crap...I'm gone for a day or two and I come back to plague sores, carbuncles, smoting and brimstone.
This dirtbag will probably just be moved to another diocese. Oh...never mind. Anyone that preys on children is deserving of a hell of a lot more justice than they are likely to see in this world. The next is an entirely different ball of wax.
It's kind of like how some people have a sudden and insatiable desire to talk about vampires after the Twilight series became popular, except zombies are much less gay and more likely to exist one day
The Monseigneur was placed under immediate arrest after the verdict and cuffed and taken to a holding cell. Tacit permission given for this stuff by doing nothing (it's a crime, and people in authority are required to report it to the Police when those under them are violators and others under then - the children - are being criminally harmed). Not OK to kick back and have a high-ball and cover it up.
This stuff doesn't play to well to common people on Juries. They're not stupid and this sexual assault on children does not go unpunished it seems. Good.

Driving north on South Reserve Street on Tuesday, several Indy readers were appalled by what they saw on New Life Worship Center's marquee: Bold block letters beneath a large cross read, "MUSLIMS ARE PROVING THE POPE RIGHT."
Incensed and deeply offended, readers called us.
Curious, we called Pastor Don Kelley of New Life.
"Well, I thought that sounded better than, 'The Pope has cojones,'" Kelley says of his admittedly provocative message.
The message, Kelley says, refers to Pope Benedict XVI's recent remarks at a German university, wherein the pontiff quoted a 14th-century Byzantine emperor who described Islam as a religion "spread by the sword." The pope's comments—taken out of context—have touched off an angry worldwide Muslim backlash. In Somalia, an Italian nun was gunned down as she left a hospital; her death has been widely attributed to the furor over the pope's remarks. Islamic protesters in Iraq burned the pope in effigy. Radical Muslims firebombed churches in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and some Muslim clerics have called for followers to hunt down the pope and his followers. Al-Qaida In Iraq warned the pope that its war against Christianity and the West will continue "until Islam takes over the world."
The uproar comes on the heels of a Danish newspaper's Muhammad cartoon controversy, in which Islamic protests and riots last winter claimed more than 100 lives worldwide.
So Kelley isn't going to apologize for his sign's latest message. In fact, he hopes the sign provokes passers by to think hard about nature of Islam.
"The backlash is really proof positive that [Muslims] are indeed violent," Kelley says. "What's happened is that because of the violence and fear of violent extremists, people are afraid, and they're working hard to be politically correct and not say anything in the least to be interpreted as bigoted or insensitive or intolerant…but at some point it's valuable to call it for what it is."
It's certainly darkly ironic, at least, that certain factions of the Muslim world see violence as an appropriate response to accusations that their religion is a violent one. Rather than engage in civil discourse and debate, some Muslims have chosen to burn churches. But it also strikes us as just a bit too easy for Kelley to paint with such a broad brush from his pulpit in a culturally monotonous Western Montana town, home to only a handful of Muslims. His message may indeed be provocative, but coming from a pastor who admits he's never read Islam's holy book, the Quran, and emerging from a Christian tradition with no shortage of religiously inspired bloodshed in its history, and aimed as it seems to be at exacerbating and localizing the religious and cultural tensions that are wrecking the Middle East and threatening to divide loyalties at home, we also think it's deeply irresponsible.

Re: Mast Step Problem
Yep. What you have there is a tenon mast heel or plug, which is made to fit into that channel and be held roughly captive by pins thru the drilled channel on the cockpit sole. That particular setup is made today by RWO and sold by APS.
APS - Other Spar Manufacturers & Parts
(Scroll down to part R2010)
Here's a similar setup by Super Spars: Part 040 plugs into part 018.
Raising the mast requires muscling the sucker upright, but once the stays are attached, it isn't going anywhere.
If you want a hinged system, you can either try a pin & tabernacle type:
Or remove the tenon heel and add a hinged plate, which would be easy enuf. You'd need to shape a plug (wood, Fiberglass plate, or HDPE) to fit snugly into the base of the mast, maybe an inch thick. Screw that in place thru the spar sides, then your mast plate screws to the plug. Once up, nearly all the force on the mast is compression.

Re: Mast Step Problem
ok .... so I think the pieces have all come together.
My boat was made by Ocean Yachts. They were bought out by Sumner Yachts. I was under the impression that they continued making the boat, "as is". The specs I got online are from Sumner and not OY. Apparently, the OY model did not have a hinged mast step setup, which the Sumner specs indicated it had. So, Sumner did indeed change the boat. The model I have is merely a mast step and the pins were used to center the mast tongue and keep it from sliding fore and aft.
I had wondered how a hinged setup would work, anyway, since the centerboard console would be in the way of raising the mast in this way. Someone else also pointed this out.
Thanks for all your help!
|Ei Leen
Re: Mast Step Problem
I don't think side shims are needed. The tongue width is the same as the inner dimensions of the mast step.
I have come to the conclusion that in spite of things I've read, Sumner Yachts did indeed change the boat after they bought it from Ocean Yachts and that would explain why the specs are inaccurate
Re: Mast Step Problem
Yes, I agree you could make that work.. You might want some side shims to keep the mast centered in the channel, but it just means you'll have less stability raising and lowering the mast - but it's a small mast.

Re: Mast Step Problem
From what I am gathering from different sources, is that the missing portion of the hinged plate is strictly to facilitate the ease of raising the mast and has little to do with the actual mounting of the mast. A friend suggested the mast will sit nicely in the mast step without the part and I can use the pin holes on the mast step to keep the mast from sliding fore and aft. One of the bolts that secures the step to the deck is slightly raised, so I am wondering if the missing hinge piece was missing for a very long time and a previous owner did that intentionally to stop the mast from sliding to the fore. I am also missing one of the pins, so this theory makes sense in that way.

Re: Mast Step Problem
I've already checked Rig Rite AND Dwyers. They have nothing that looks like what I need

Re: Mast Step Problem
Thanks. Yes, there should be another piece similar to the mast step that attaches to the mast and hinges with the step plate. If we could determine how it was attached to the mast, we'd have far less of a problem
Re: Mast Step Problem
Looks like you're missing another piece of channel that fits INSIDE the one in the hull, that would be hinged on that pin at the back end. What's odd is I don't see any holes in the block at the foot of the mast to pin it to the missing channel piece... Anyhow the two channel pieces would make a hinge that allows you to lean the mast back to lower it, and vice versa.
I've inserted the real link into your post so maybe someone's got more specific information. Good luck. A metal fabricator should be able to help out, or try googling "Rig Rite" as a resource.

Re: Mast Step Problem
The tongue on the bottom of the mast measures 5/8" X 2 1/4".
The mast step is as follows:
Length 4 3/16"
Width outside 3/4"
Width inside 5/8"
Depth inside 5/8"
outside depth is difficult to measure due to caulking

Patton Oswalt
Patton Oswalt's style of stand-up comedy is often described as acerbic and sarcastic, and it covers topics ranging from pop culture frivolity such as comic book supervillains and 1980s glam metal to deeper societal issues like American excess, materialism, Mesopotamian cuneiform script, foreign policy and religion (Oswalt is an avowed atheist).

Steamboat School Board approves calendar after holiday debate
March 8, 2011
Steamboat Springs — The Steamboat Springs School Board approved the 2011-12 academic year calendar Monday night by a 4-1 vote but not before a discussion about changing the district's holiday schedule.
School Board members discussed shortening Blues Break and moving those days to Thanksgiving break in an effort to boost attendance during a week when many students miss school anyway.
But Superintendent Shalee Cunningham said moving the days would only move the problem.
"We'll have the same problem we have with the shortened November break," she said, citing 85 percent student attendance that week. "Students just don't come."
School Board member Laura Anderson led the charge to shorten Blues Break, referencing a discussion at the February meeting in which she, board member Brian Kelly and School Board President Robin Crossan also supported the change.
"I still get frustrated that three of us agreed with the suggestion to shorten Blues Break and it's not happening," Anderson said. "It's frustrating. I know it's what the community wants, and I understand it's not what the teachers want."
She and Crossan voted to approve the calendar, as did Denise Connelly and Lisa Brown. Kelly opposed it.
The conversation continued after the vote.
"We've gotten away from what's important for kids, what's important to educating kids," Crossan said. "That's what we need to ask. What is right for kids? Not what we hear from the community or from teachers."
Brown argued that based on the lack of public comment at the meeting, the calendar wasn't much of an issue with the community.
"I would say evidenced by the public outcry over the current calendar, I would say we're OK," she said.
The 2011-12 calendar doesn't differ from the current year calendar in any significant way.
The school year starts Aug. 25 and ends June 9, 2012, with graduation scheduled for June 4.
Students have 172 days of school.
In other action, School Board members, approved, 4-1, a capital reserve expenditure to allow Maintenance, Operations and Transportation Director Pascal Ginesta to buy a new Chevrolet Suburban at a cost of $34,390 to $36,990.
Anderson opposed the expenditure.
Ginesta said the new Suburban would replace a model year 2000 Suburban that had about 156,000 miles as of Feb. 28.
Ginesta told the School Board he would like to replace district vehicles about every 10 years or 150,000 miles.
After the School Board vote, Ginesta said he didn't know which bid for the Suburban he would accept — $36,990 from Cook Chevrolet or $34,390 from Oklahoma-based Fleet Connection.

Agents seize thousands of suspected fake pot packets
by: Tom Regan Updated:
CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. - Narcotics officers and D-E-A agents raided four stores in Cherokee County on Tuesday, seizing 9,000 packets of what they described as suspected synthetic marijuana.
"We are not making criminal cases on this. That's not the goal of this. It's to get this product out of the hands of the public." said Phil Price, commander of the Cherokee Multi Agency Narcotics Squad.
Price showed Channel 2's Tom Regan the stacks of boxed and packaged herbal substances. The products were seized after the Georgia State Board of Pharmacy issued an emergency ruling Monday that bans virtually all forms of herbal incense and potpourri that is sold in smoke shops and convenience stores.
The board took action on a request from Gov. Nathan Deal, and a ruling from the state medical examiner that synthetic marijuana contributed to the drowning death of Chase Burnett, a 16-year-old student from Peachtree City.
Burnett was found dead in his family's hot tub March 4. Channel 2 Action News first reported dozens of emergency room calls linked to use of synthetic pot. The Georgia Legislature outlawed compounds used to make synthetic cannabinoid in 2010, and amended the law to make it more inclusive of molecular variations of the drug. Recently, chemists at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation determined manufactures had created a new molecular structure that skirted the ban. That new molecular structure is included in the emergency ruling issued by the state.
Price says samples the products seized will be tested by the GBI to determine if the contain any illegal compounds. Those which are legal will be returned to merchants.
The owner of H-Y Novelties told Regan that he believes narcotics officer violated his constitutional rights by seizing more than 5,000 packets of potpourri from his shop. He said they took the products without providing any evidence that they were illegal.
"It looked, felt, smelled and seemed like illegal search and seizure," said Todd Sherman.
He told Regan none of the products on his shelves contained illegal compounds.
"I spend $10,000 on one order Monday. They came in yesterday and took all of that." said Sherman.
Authorities said the banned is aimed at preventing another tragedy linked to the designer drug.
"There's no control, no watchdog, there's nothing to prevent some child from getting hold of this." said Price.

on YarnHarlot's blog, she has posted a pic of a child's sweater she's knitting, and I've fallen in love with the pattern of various stitches shown......want to make a rectangular shawl with many layers of pattern like this. Can anyone recommend a book that shows many different stitch patterns? Would this one do?
The Knitters' Handbook by Montse Stanley. I just ordered it from Amazon. Winter blahs has me going nuts ordering books online - some Kindle, some paper.
You mean this one? I can't help with a book but I'll drool over the sweater! That's beautiful! A shawl...what color will you use?
Yes, that's the one, Grandma. I just love the changing patterns. My shawl is different shades of blue, green....depending on how far I get before the yarn runs out. I have a few balls of merino in sock yarn weight, so it's going to be a lightweight, that's for sure.
this is the width of the shawl....it's going to be rather narrow.
and here are some other yarns I can add in....
It's going to be a 'sampler' that's for sure....with different colors, different patterns. Hope I like it.
Pretty! I love your yarns and you're off to a really good start on it. I hope you'll post more photos as you progress with this lovely creation. I've been trying to decide if I have what it takes to do a large project in fingering yarn. I've used it for socks but they're really a pretty small project. I have some sport weight that I'm going to use next for socks. It's a little thicker than what I've been using so maybe it's less intimidating. LOL
I hope someone has some good input on your patterns in a book question. I've not done much with pattern stitches yet. You're inspiring me to get more adventurous with my knitting.
Me? inspire somebody in knitting? I'm the most un-adventurous of knitters, but always, always pining to do something wonderful.....so I'll keep at it, and yes, will post pics of its progress. The new book should arrive soon enough, to help me along.
I love shawls, wear them a lot.
Maybe you're more adventurous than you realize, or maybe you're just doing something I really would like to feel confident about. Either way, you have inspired me to try something different :woot: so she says sarcastically deal with it! I too pine to do something wonderful. I think you're started on something wonderful already. I'd bet you've done a lot more wonderful than you realize too. I look forward to seeing your progress.
Hey, Woodi, it looks like you've already ordered a book, but in case you need to find another pattern before it arrives, I just came across this site: http://laceknittingstitch.blogspot.com/. It looks like it has some spectacular textured knitting patterns.
GG, have you heard of zentangles? I started doing some a few weeks ago, and I swear they have brought out some creativity in me. They're just simple doodles you can do yourself, slowly, in a meditative way....black/white.
You must give them a try! (lots of examples of them on google)....but don't get intimidated by the many artists who are trying to make careers teaching them, writing how-to books on them. Not necessary to follow any book, no plan. Just go with your own fingers. I like to use a plain pencil.
Zentangles. OK. They look like the designs we used to do on our paper book covers when we were bored in jr. high and high school way back when. I still sit and do them sometimes. They are cool. Mine are never that complicated but they do bring out something, don't they?
Well, they calm me a lot, and get me away from thinking too much....I suspect it's a complete relaxation for the brain, but without boredom. Yanno? and to me, giving the brain a break from thinking is almost as good as a holiday :hug:

I answered, 'The contest concerning Douglas's filiation was over long ago; but the contest now is, who shall have the estate.'
Wilt thou give me an inheritance, a filiation, any thing for my heart?
filiation is thus sometimes paternal and sometimes maternal.
Thou art His by creation, but I am His also by adoption, filiation, sonship.
The second fallacy which the historical citation is a little apt to suggest is that the filiation of ideas is a simple problem.
Lawyers are of opinion, that filiation is necessary to legitimation, but not è contra.
This filiation establishes the uterine relationship and, united to exogamy, prevents marriage between nearest relatives.
If the mere circumstance of filiation and descent creates no debt, it however is the principle of a very close connection.
I am not sufficiently acquainted with the filiation of the Indian tribes, to know what relation the Botecudos bear to the Tupayas.
The subject of the filiation of nations, though one of the deepest interest, is still involved in much obscurity.
1520s, from French filiation, from Medieval Latin filiationem (nominative filiatio), noun of action from filiare "to have a child," from Latin filius/filia (see filial).

MORE from our HomeTeam writers.
Wed. July 9, 2014 | Times Staff
Our third annual countdown of the top 100 football players in Tampa Bay. Past performances — spanning the fall, spring and summer — and promise of big things to come are all taken into consideration. Today: players 51 through 60.
Previous installments:
Position/school: ATH, Gibbs
Year: Senior
Ht/Wt: 5-10/180
Why we ranked him: Hubbard-Smith is on his fourth team in as many years (Lakewood, then Northeast, then back to Lakewood). Once considered a quarterback prospect for Lakewood (before Ryan Davis appeared), Hubbard-Smith said he will have a chance under center for the Gladiators, who have no clear-cut starter at QB, and could see time in the secondary. Last season he was a "shut down (defensive back) …he's a monster," according to Lakewood coach Cory Moore. Now Moore will have to figure out how to defend him. Wherever he ends up on the field, Hubbard-Smith gives Gibbs another quality athlete.
Position/school: DB, East Lake
Year: Senior
Ht/Wt: 6-3/205
Why we ranked him: Despite putting up solid numbers last season (81 tackles, three broken passes, fumble recovery), Strnad was overshadowed in the Eagles' secondary by Devin Abraham, a USF signee who was the Times' Pinellas County defensive player of the year. With Abraham gone, Strnad takes over as a leader and has gotten the attention of colleges with 18 offers, all coming in the past four months.
Position/school: OL, East Lake
Year: Junior
Ht/Wt: 6-4/290
Why we ranked him: After playing guard last season, Santos moves over to left tackle to fill the void created by the graduation of Mason Cole, a four-star recruit who could start as a freshman at Michigan. Santos is more than capable of making the switch after a solid performance last season; he helped the Eagles average more than 40 points per game. His versatility was a big reason he rocketed up the recruiting charts this spring, with offers from six schools, including UCF, Kentucky, Nebraska and Ole Miss.
Position/school: OL, Hudson
Year: Junior
Ht/Wt: 6-5/300
For a team with plans to run, run and run, Stover is a dream come true.
He's a towering 6 feet 5 and 300 pounds. He is a strong blocker with nifty feet.
And he is mean.
"He is a nasty sucker, I can tell you that," said coach Mark Kantor, who has seen Stover react to getting cut and chopped with fierce indignation. "He takes it personally. He wants to get back out there and knock your block off."
Kantor hopes to see that fierceness on every play this fall, when Stover will anchor a line that already returns starters Corey Molina, Chris Campos and Kameron DeWitt.
"Grayson came in as a freshman and he had some skills as far as footwork and size, and as we've coached him he's gotten better and better every day," said Kantor, citing Stover's work in the weight room.
Last year, that offensive line helped pave the way to 2,352 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns, the Cobras' best rushing performance since 2007.
This year, new running backs will have to step in to keep the momentum going. With quarterback Joey Caruso also back, Kantor has high hopes for his offense.
"Grayson will be an integral part," he said. "Going into this year, knowing we have four back up front, we're going to run a little bit more behind him."
Stover has attracted college interest, and 247Sports ranks him No. 199 in the state.Stover should become a big name this fall.
"Great things are going to happen for this kid," Kantor said. "If he stays healthy and has a full, complete year, you'll see major colleges in here taking a look."
Position/school: QB, Cambridge Christian
Year: Senior
Ht/Wt: 6-1/180
They're chasing the QB, his name's Garrett Young
But he's too fleet of foot, and the ball, it is flung
Downfield to a teammate, who catches it right in stride
No surprise. Young's passes are complete half the time
His stats, they are gaudy, and records he's amassing
Let's start with last year and the 1,861 yards passing
He's quick with the two-step, maybe not quite like a dancer
But his 645 rushing yards were enough to lead all the Lancers
And the end zone? Well, why not just build a revolving door
Because last year the touchdown maker produced 34
He ran for 100 yards twice, and had four 200-yard games
Which is why this list could not possibly exclude his name
First name is Garrett, and his last name is Young
And if he duplicates last season, it should be on the tip of your tongue.
Position/school: ATH, Alonso
Year: Senior
Ht/Wt: 6-0/155
Who is your role model in football? "Champ Bailey, Richard Sherman, Deion Sanders, Peyton Manning, Randy Moss. There's a lot more."
What NFL player do you try to emulate? "It would be (Seattle cornerback) Richard Sherman."
What was your most memorable game last season? "I'd say Bloomingdale (a 24-21 loss). I balled out that game. I had two picks, a couple fumbles and a touchdown."
What's your favorite thing to do when you're not playing football? "Working out. Or eating."
What's your favorite thing about playing defensive back? "Lock down those wide receivers, let them know that I'm here."
What's the best part about going to Alonso? "The teachers show respect. They're lovable. The football is a good program."
Position/school: QB, Dixie Hollins
Year: Senior
Ht/Wt: 6-3/165
Why we ranked him: Adams started all 10 games last season and threw all over the field. He averaged nearly 28 pass attempts per game, and compiled 2,477 yards and 25 touchdowns. Now a senior, he will be the focal point of the Rebels' offense. "Tyrie is a good football player," coach Shannon Brooks said. "He's going to make plays. Anything we do on offense is going to be because of him."
Position/school: LB, Hillsborough
Year: Junior
Ht/Wt: 6-1/207
Why we ranked him:The Terriers will return six starters on defense, but Florida Atlantic commit Al-Shaair will be the one to watch. As a first-year starter in 2013, the linebacker led Hillsborough with 110 tackles — an average of 11 per game — and 8.5 sacks. Even as a sophomore last season, Al-Shaair was a leader in more ways than one, mirroring standout quarterback Dwayne Lawson. "He's kind of the head of our defense as Dwayne is our offense," coach Earl Garcia said.
Position/school: DB/WR, Boca Ciega
Year: Senior
Ht/Wt: 6-0/186
Why we ranked him: Anderson didn't play for Bogie last season, so putting him on this list requires a leap of faith, but one we're confident making. Whenever we've seen the Pirate senior this offseason, he has been superb, especially in pass coverage. If he's as physical in pads as he is out of them, and plays the ball as aggressively, too, he should be considered one of the top corners by the end of the season. New coach Max Smith will also use him as an offensive weapon: as a running back, he had some big impressive runs in the spring and lined up in the slot as well. Anderson has offers from Rutgers, Marshall and Toledo, with more to come.
Position/school: RB, Carrollwood Day
Year: Senior
Ht/Wt: 5-10/190
By the numbers
7 100-yard games last year
8.7 Yards per carry
10 Touchdowns
16 Carries vs. Canterbury last season, a career high
215 Yards vs. Canterbury last season, a career high
3 Touchdowns, vs. Canterbury last season, a career high
1,663 Our fearless prediction for how many yards Parker runs for in 2014

She claims she severed her husband's penis with a kitchen knife because he raped her, the latest in a pattern of abuse. Surgeons later reattached Mr Bobbitt's penis, which police found in a field after Mrs Bobbitt threw it from her car as she fled their apartment. In November, Mr Bobbitt, 26, an ex-Marine and one-time night-club bouncer, was acquitted of rape in the same Prince William County Circuit Courthouse where his wife will stand trial.
Mr Bobbitt has denied he was abusive. If convicted, Mrs Bobbitt faces a maximum sentence of 20 years. Facts of the case have been well documented: Vanity Fair headlined it 'Sex, Lies and an 8- inch Carving Knife.' The two principals have made themselves available to interviewers. In one, Mr Bobbitt said his penis hurt when he showers. Doctors said he had made a good recovery but it could be a year before he knows if he can have sex again.
During the first trial, Mrs Bobbitt said that after her husband forced her to have sex, she went into the kitchen for a glass of water and saw the kitchen knife. 'I turned and saw the knife. I took it into the bedroom. I pulled the sheets off, and I cut it.'Reuse content

a blog about bacon and craft beer
Every time I got a new video game, my roommates would complain that I didn't hang-out with them anymore. After while learned to only purchase multiplayer games while living with them. That way no one would feel neglected.
We recorded this show on Tuesday since I was leaving for Seattle the next morning. Even with the time change we still had a nice live audience in our chat room. If you want to be part of the show sign up for an account at Talkshoe.com and join us at our normal time.
On the show we talked about:
Tuesday Show, Seattle trip, Twitter and Flickr, bacon check, chicken BLT, Arby's, Sean tries the Angus, test market, radio is changing the world of bacon, Wendy's still sucks, talk to the chat room peeps, bacon vote, Obama is a bacon person, bad radio ads,
BaconFreak.com is stealing my content, beer chat, Sam Adams still rocks, Miller Lite, no shot bar, Best Buy and Circuit City…

If you have lived with roommates you will appreciate this comic. Every time I needed to use the bathroom it seemed my roommate would destroy it right before I needed to go. If you need to live with a roommate here is a tip, rent a place that has more than one bathroom.
This week I will be heading to Seattle to take video and photos of a conference my day job (sorry, I am not doing to tell you where I work, people get fired for doing that) is putting on. I will be there for 5 days so that should be enough time to find and enjoy bacon in Seattle.
Like other trips I will be updating my twitter and flickr accounts throughout the trip. That way if I find any pressing bacon news on my trip you will not be left out. This is the first time I will be in this city so I'm pretty excited about it.
If you live in the area let me know if there are any places (like the Archie McPhee store) I need to check out. I will have access to the internet so just leave a comment or email me your suggestions.
Also, when I get back next week I have some big bacon news about new products I am making by hand. I think everyone is going to enjoy them and I plan to sell them on this site. Just in time for that bacon lover on your Holiday shopping list.
A lot of you will remember when I started my online comic, Blue Monster Fire. I promised to have a new comic everyday. Well that didn't happen because I didn't realize how hard it was marking a comic. I then decided to make a new comic every Monday but then that was difficult too.
After some time my friend Matt Gondek said that he would help and we started making comic history together. But I still was having trouble keeping up with it all. Managing two different websites was proving to be difficult with my growing work load from my day job.
After about a month of neglecting my web comic's website I came up with a solution. I am going to move the comic to Mr.Baconpants. Since the comics was about Mr. Baconpants to begin with it seem like the right choice. So for the next few weeks I will post the old comics here every Monday. Then starting next year I will have new comics to post.
Here are the first few comics that started it all, I did them on scraps of paper I found on my desk. In the last comic in this post show the first time Matt starting drawing Blue Monster.
I hope you enjoy this new addition to my website. If you would like to be a guest artist next year let me know via email.
While I was listing to the show again to write the show notes I started laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. I really hope you guys are enjoying the show as much as we are. I didn't really think we would have this much fun talking about bacon, beer, and technology.
On the show we talked about:
Sean's show prep, Eat n' Park, NEWS, bacon, Din Din, McDonald's bacon, bacon boycott, my screen saver, Carl Jr's and Hardees, Guacamole Bacon Burger, Extreme fast-food, Burger King, vote bacon, murder mystery, feathers and water, exploding turkey and toilet paper, Halloween, buffalo chicken dips, bring home the bacon, BLT with Dad, floating chair, ketchup, canned pork, Samuel Adams Beer, fruit beers, Bacon Radio on Tuesday next week.
I would like to thank everyone that listens live. You are the reason the show is so much fun. If you have suggestions or topics please share via a comment or join us live![audio:http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-15261/TS-160010.mp3]

Last week I told you about the event the guys from BaconSalt were putting on to launch their new product, Baconnaise. Well today I just found some video from the event and it looks like bacon won!
This was a tasty victory for bacon lovers everywhere. I wish I could have been there to witness the event.

hello guy's! what is a main file tu upload here and which program must be write song?
'Main file' is a ZIP archive containing MP3 or/and WAV audio files (mostly).
I'm not able to answer the second question, could you explain what you exactly mean?
BTW, there are no rules about the software you use, you can make music in any programs, but remember to maintain the quality of your work. Hope it helps. Good luck
You can try to use Cubase, Fruity Loops, Cakewalk, Logic, whatever. Nobody forces you to use a specific program, in only matters what you export.

Making sure that Ankalia is made within Australia is important to us.

Our designs are hand sketched by local artisans, and their trade and skill is transformed into fabrics literally designed to embrace your babies.

Will Computer Science Go Beyond The English Language Into Arabic?
A conceptual digital art project links computing programming to the Arabic language with a surprising point of view.
During his time at Eyebeam Art+Technology Center, Ramsey Nasser developed a conceptual art project addressing the difficulty and impossibility of coding in a non-Latin alphabet system. To convey his message, he turned to his native tongue, Arabic. The end result is a program that is an digital artwork that subtly reveals how non-English speakers need to adapt to the foundations that have been laid out for programmers in the past 60 years. Ramsey titled his work "قلب" or Qalb, which means "heart". Watch the video below to watch Nasser Ramsey demonstrate the output of his creative endeavor.
Nasser seems to be concerned about the role of human culture in coding. By presenting a code that is written entirely with Arabic letters, he exposes the biases underlying programming and computer science at large. This puts the spotlight on the pedagogical biases that govern how code is taught in academic and educational settings without trying to argue for an alternative system.
Software engineering is fostered in the United States. If we're going to push for coding literacy, if we're going to push to teach code around the world, then we have to be aware of what their cultural biases are and what it means for someone that doesn't share that background.
Driving this point home, he develops his point of view in an interview with Hyperstage, an robust Arabic site covering technology. Ramsey acknowledges previous attempts to create a coding language in Arabic and their shortcomings. What distinguishes قلب his work from previous attempts is the fact that it is a conceptual art project, not intended for everyday use. In this interview, Ramsey asserts that what brings all such programming projects together is their love for text and language. His project embraces traditional programming algorithms from the history of computer science and treats them with the same amount of respect and cultural sensitivity that Arabs treat their own poetry, calligraphy, and typefaces. This conveys a unique underlying link between the traditional practices of computer scientists and regular users of Arabic.

Summer is the season of the lobster.
Healthy Hollywood recently spent a few days at the beach in New York's Shelter Island. The marquee menu item at all the local restaurants was lobster - lobster pasta, lobster salad and, of course, the season fave -- the lobster roll.
Although lobster is available all year round, most lobsters are harvested and eaten in the summer months. The lobster meat tends to be juicier, sweeter and is definitely cheaper and more plentiful at this time of the year.
And, lobster goes perfectly with a nice, crisp glass of chardonnay. The perfect summer evening - good friends, the beach, lobster and wine!
The folks over at Clos du Bois wine shared their favorite recipe for lobster salad...
Lobster Salad
1 lb. cooked lobster meat (about 4 cups), cut into chunks Juice of 1 lemon 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 celery, finely diced Salt & pepper to taste
Mix all the ingredients together to either enjoy on a bed of lettuce or on a toasted French roll to make a lobster roll ( pictured above ).
To learn more about pairing wine with food, check out www.closdubois.com.

Nothing can truly prepare a mother for the moment when her child becomes so sick that she begins to see double and can't keep her balance to walk.
And certainly nothing - not even a strong premonition - can truly prepare a mother for the moment when, days later, the doctor tells her that her child is dying.
But it may be a different story for Lake Oswego mother Heidi Dirkse-Graw, who has a 19-year counseling career guiding and encouraging people with head trauma.
Today, she finds herself once again in the counseling role, with her daughter Labri as the patient.
It's almost as if the job readied her to face the future with Labri, a Forest Hills Elementary School sixth grader who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in May.
'I deal with grief and loss issues and … here I am,' Heidi said. 'My world has become every day with her. I don't want to do anything else … I can't do anything else.'
Heidi considers her counseling experience - a job she left to dedicate her energy to Labri - a 'huge asset' in understanding the medical and emotional impact of Labri's condition.
It has also given Heidi insight into the unpredictable nature of brain tumors, walking her daughter through a terminal illness and simply knowing when to seek help for herself.
Getting through each day, however, also requires faith and friends.
'I have a good ability to weather things and cope with crisis, but it's through God that I get my strength,' Heidi said. 'The people in the community are holding me up right now.'
She estimates that there are now 1,000 or more people, including many strangers, praying for Labri. Heidi's husband, Rick Graw, believes that Labri's positive response to radiation and regular chemotherapy is due, in part, to those prayers.
Although the initial treatment made her tired, Labri was able to visit her friends at Forest Hills and attend her sixth grade graduation.
'It makes me know how much God loves me and cares for me,' Labri said of her support system. 'He wants me to have as much love as I can.'
At Forest Hills, Labri's illness came as a sudden surprise and caused serious concern among students and staff.
Principal Gwen Hill sent home a letter to parents and counselors were made available to talk with the classmates of Labri and her younger brother, Clay.
While Labri missed school, students and teachers came to the Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Dorenbecher Children's Hospital to visit and bring her gifts.
They posted comments on Labri's Caring Bridge Web site, read her online journal and sent her cards.
Since then, there has been an overwhelming outpouring of love for the whole family, which also includes Labri's dad Russ Dirkes, two step-siblings Bryce and Brianna, brother Josh and sister-in-law Laura.
First, congregations at Rolling Hills Community Church and Meadow Springs Community Church coordinated meal drives with the help of the Lake Oswego Soccer Club.
People donated money to have the Dirkse-Graw house cleaned regularly. And through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Glass Butterfly boutique in Lake Oswego gave Labri and her friends a paid shopping spree.
'When this gets really horrible you feel so loved,' Heidi said. 'It's a bright light in the darkness.'
Additionally, the Love for Labri Fund was set up to assist the family with loss of income, medical bills and to help Labri achieve her dreams - which includes designing a house and traveling around the world (in August, she's going to Hawaii).
'Everybody wants to know what they can do,' Rick Graw said. 'It has been mind-blowing, really. We kind of knew what a great place this was before we moved here (three years ago) but a situation like this really brings out the best in a community.'
Last week, family friends Kim Ponds and Kim Krause teamed up to host a benefit party for Labri at Krause's home, which included food, drink and a jewelry sale with all profits benefiting the family fund.
'Labri is everyone's friend and always has been, and the family is so wonderful,' Krause said. 'It's an easy thing to do.'
Labri's friends surrounded her as they snacked, compared cell phones, chatted and giggled. Heidi got a kick out of watching her daughter smile again and again. The girls watched as Labri ceremonially cut her cake.
So far, Labri's illness has brought out the best in them, too.
'Adults can learn a lot from them,' Krause said of the girls. 'They live their lives in the moment and appreciate every second they have with Labri.'
Despite obstacles in her way, Labri is the type who always makes the best of any situation and takes life in stride, she added.
'She brightens everyone's day and you can't help but smile when you're with her,' Krause said.
At the tender age of 12, Labri understands her condition and does not wish to hide it. Mostly, she chooses to ignore it and go about her daily routine as usual.
Her parents openly discuss the doctors' ongoing prognosis and the treatment she chose to undergo.
'She's old enough to know,' Heidi said.
A dedicated student, Labri loves math, science and writing poetry, which she may compile into a book someday.
'I have a little bit of everything in me,' she said. 'I have a lot of interests.'
As always, Labri feels her best when she's around her friends. If she could have all of them over to the house each day, she would. She loves hanging out and talking on her cell phone or instant messenger.
She gets annoyed when she can't participate in physical activities, such as snowboarding or soccer, or socialize for long periods of time without an adult supervisor.
According to Heidi, Labri's stamina doesn't hold up and she experiences side effects from medication, including a noticeable swelling of her face.
'I'm not sad … I just want it gone,' Labri said of the tumor.
Labri currently undergoes chemotherapy once a month for five days at a time to fight the aggressive-growing brain tumor. After 10 months, doctors will no longer treat her. A hospice nurse pays Labri a house visit several times each week.
Labri emphasizes that her goal is to live each and every day to its fullest through the difficult journey ahead. She even created a word for that mission, 'Zandleucapa,' which she included in a poem.
Since finding out she has brain cancer, Labri said her faith in God has grown tremendously.
'All the friends and people thinking about me has opened my eyes to how much God loves me, knows me and heals me,' Labri said.
For Heidi, it's become increasingly tough to leave her daughter's side.
The tumor, located in the brain stem, is too unpredictable and could affect Labri's vital functions if not closely monitored or medicated.
'I look at how she's doing today, how she can do something and how much of it she can do,' Heidi said. 'I try to give Labri as much independence as possible … But you just want to hold your children close.'
During a recent vacation to Black Butte, Labri convinced her mom to let her ride a bike for the first time since her diagnosis.
After a successful trial on soft grass, Labri rode down a small hill and yelled, 'The wind on my face is beautiful!'
Heidi, who has learned to set aside time to personally grieve, relished the moment.
'I was a little nervous, but she looked fantastic,' Heidi wrote later in Labri's Web site. 'It was great fun for her to have a little bit of normalcy for a few minutes.'
Tax-deductible donations to the Love for Labri Fund can be sent to Meadow Springs Community Church at 12647 SW 62nd Ave., Portland, Ore., 97219. Non-tax deferred donations to the fund can be made at any U.S. Bank.

Bella tore one of the pads on her paw at the dogpark yesterday chasing a tennis ball on the sandy rocks...I know there's a name for the pad on the leg (dew claw pad...even though there's no nail there...?) It's pretty battered and she's favoring it a bit. I just noticed when I asked for her paw for a treat and she cried when I took it.
I cleaned it out a bit w/hydrogen peroxide, but it's not helping the pain much. I don't want to put Neosporin on it without asking someone since the vet is closed for the day. I'm sure she'd lick it off, but do you think it would hurt her?
