Yesterday Jeremy Zawodny wrote a post entitled JavaScript Badges and Widgets Considered Harmful. It follows on from Mike Arrington's post which talks about why TechCrunch went down recently, attributing part of the blame to poor performance of third party badges hosted on the site. Both posts have sparked interesting discussion about the problems with such badges and possible routes for improvement.
For me these posts are kind of timely. I've been investigating writing server side versions of such badges for exactly these and many other reasons. A little while ago I released a PHP version of the del.icio.us tagometer badge which implements caching to speed up rendering and reduce the chance of a slow connection to del.icio.us causing problems for any site which hosts it. You can see this in use on any page of my site and also on the YUI section of the Yahoo! Developer Network (thanks Eric). More on server side versions later - I'd like to start by running through my thoughts on writing cleaner (or improving current) JavaScript badges first.
Improving Front-end Code
Many badges have pretty nasty front-end code freely mixing inline styles with HTML. Writing lean semantic HTML and keeping CSS styling separate will ensure your badge is easier to customise to fit with users' existing site styles. Adding an option to suppress your CSS is the icing on the cake. At all costs avoid use of !important. Rules using this will always be applied over others referencing the same selectors regardless of specificity. In short, it will be almost impossible for users to override those styles.
Say no to document.write
Using DOM Methods
Instead consider using DOM methods to write your badge to the page appending your CSS to the site header via a dynamically created style element and your HTML to an existing element on the page using either innerHTML or the more long winded document.createElement. To keep things simple for less technical users I've experimented with inserting the badge before the script tag which references it and a more advanced option of supplying an arbitrary element ID into which the badge should be inserted for those users that want to position the badge script near the bottom of the page to mitigate potential performance or badge availability problems. By doing this you provide the best of both worlds.
The Simple Method

The Advanced Method
Insert an empty container, such as a DIV, at the position you want your badge to appear in your page.

Then include the script at the bottom of your page, just before the closing body tag.

How To Implement
Simple PHP code can handle the presence (or lack) of an element reference serving up corresponding JavaScript to match. Here's an example of how you might handle such a badge.
header('Content-Type: text/javascript');
if (isset($_GET['element']) && preg_match('/^[a-z0-9_-]+$/i', $_GET['element'])) {
$sElement = $_GET['element'];
} else {
$sElement = 'script-id';
var NAMESPACE = window.NAMESPACE || {}
NAMESPACE.Badge = function() {
var sCss = "<?php echo $sCss; ?>";
var sHtml = "<?php echo $sHtml; ?>";
function GetCss() {
var oHead = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var oCssStyle = document.createElement('style');
oCssStyle.setAttribute('type', 'text/css');
if (oCssStyle.styleSheet) {
oCssStyle.styleSheet.cssText = sCss;
} else {
function GetHtml() {
var oElement = document.getElementById('<?php echo $sElement; ?>');
<?php if ($sElement == 'script-id') { ?>
var oDiv = document.createElement('div');
oElement.parentNode.insertBefore(oDiv, oElement).innerHTML = sHtml;
<?php } else { ?>
oElement.innerHTML = sHtml;
<?php } ?>
return {
Init : function() {
if (document.getElementById && document.createTextNode) {
The CSS needs to be appended separately to the header because Safari doesn't play nice with rules entered in the body, failing to render them. Of course one could argue that Safari is simply forcing you to do things the right way.
You'll also need to make sure the CSS and HTML returned in the PHP variables $sCss and $sHtml is reduced to one line to prevent errors in the resulting JavaScript. The following function should be suitable for this in most cases.
function TextMin($sText) {
$sText = str_replace('"', '\"', $sText);
$sText = preg_replace('/\\s+/ ', ' ', $sText);
return trim(str_replace('> <', '><', $sText));
One HTTP Request for Everything
Server-Side Badges
As mentioned earlier my preferred method is to create server-side versions of your badges for those users where performance is critical. Doing so allows data requests to be cached which is kinder on your servers and provides the possibility of fallbacks should your service ever be unavailable.
I've written two classes (for HTTP requests and file caching) which allow for the following robustness mechanism.
Basic Steps
- Use the HTTP class to request badge data.
- If successful cache the returned data on disk for a defined period of time and subsequent page requests use that cached data until it expires.
- If unsuccessful look for expired cache data and re-validate to prevent immediate re-requests to the failing data URL.
- If unable to retrieve data from an expired cache, most likely because the data URL was unresponsive the first time the request was made, then don't display the badge.
Corresponding Code
The actual code might look like this.
define('DATA_URL', '');
define('CACHE_TIME', 300); // 5 mins
$bSuccessful = true;
$oHttp = new Http();
$oCache = new Cache(DATA_URL, CACHE_TIME);
if (!$oCache->Check()) {
if ($sData = $oHttp->Get(DATA_URL)) {
} elseif ($oCache->Exists()) {
} else {
$bSuccessful = false;
if ($bSuccessful) {
$sData = $oCache->Get();

<?php } ?>
Other Benefits
This post is definitely work in progress and I'll be adding to it as and when I think of more. If you've got thoughts on the subject or think anything I've written above doesn't quite add up, post a comment below. I'd love you hear your take on the problem.

Suggestions for your story
We thank you for sharing your story with other members looking for hope, encouragement, and love. Below are several ingredients that make up a good "success story". There is no need to use all these suggestions. They are meant as a guide for helping you compose your story.
Share Some Stories
A couple "nice" stories about some of your time together that you don't mind sharing. These might be special moments on a date, or with family that particularly stay with you. Or how the marriage proposal actually unfolded.
Your Experience?
What was your experience on CatholicMatch like prior to meeting each other? Were you optimistic or pessimistic regarding the possibilities of meeting someone online?
First Contact
Roughly how long did you e-mail me each other before deciding to meet "off-site." Did you use the CM messaging system as simply a tool for exchanging information to get together, or was it a chance to get to know each other in more depth before setting up a face-to-face meeting.
Long Distance?
If a long-distance relationship, how did you handle making it work? Were there any advantages to the distance that you saw either at the time or in retrospect, or was it purely an obstacle to be overcome? Is there any practical advice you would offer for members in similar situations (e.g., one of the stories above recommends getting a cellphone plan with free nights and weekends)?
How Long?
How long a period of time was it from your first encounter on CatholicMatch to the engagement?

Diabetic Retinopathy
Symptoms and Detection
Diabetic retinopathy often has no early warning signs. Don't wait for symptoms. Be sure to have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year to detect the disease before it causes damage to your vision.
Vision Changes May Indicate Bleeding
In the early stages of diabetic retinopathy, you may not notice any changes in your vision. But if diabetic retinopathy reaches its final stage, proliferative retinopathy, bleeding can occur.
If this happens, at first, you will see a few specks of blood, or spots, floating in your vision. If spots occur, see your eye care professional as soon as possible.
Early Treatment is Important
You may need treatment before more serious bleeding or hemorrhages occur causing vision loss or possibly blindness. Hemorrhages tend to happen more than once, often during sleep.
See how to find an eye care professional.
Here is a list of questions to ask your eye care professional.
Sometimes the spots clear without treatment, and you will see better. However, bleeding can reoccur and cause severely blurred vision. You need to be examined by your eye care professional at the first sign of blurred vision, before more bleeding occurs.
If left untreated, proliferative retinopathy can cause severe vision loss and even blindness. Also, the earlier you receive treatment, the more likely treatment will be successful.
Diabetic retinopathy and macular edema are detected during a comprehensive eye exam that includes a visual acuity test, dilated eye exam, and tonometry.
A visual acuity test is an eye chart test that measures how well you see at various distances.
During the dilated eye exam, your eye care professional checks your retina for early signs of the disease, including
- leaking blood vessels
- retinal swelling such as macular edema
- pale, fatty deposits on the retina -- signs of leaking blood vessels
- damaged nerve tissue
Watch an animation showing what a comprehensive dilated eye exam involves.
With tonometry, an instrument measures the pressure inside the eye. Numbing drops may be applied to your eye for this test.
If your eye care professional believes you need treatment for macular edema, he or she may suggest a fluorescein angiogram. In this test, a special dye is injected into your arm. Pictures are taken as the dye passes through the blood vessels in your retina.
The test allows your eye care professional to identify any leaking blood vessels and recommend treatment.

Reds keeper Jerzy Dudek's misjudgement allowed Benjani Mwaruwari to chip over him and nod in for Pompey's opener.
Niko Kranjcar chested down a long ball and finished with aplomb as Pompey went further ahead before Boudewijn Zenden's shot hit the crossbar for Liverpool.
Sami Hyypia headed in as the Reds fought back but some stubborn defending helped Pompey to victory.
Pompey keeper and ex-Liverpool stopper David James had received an award before kick-off for recently breaking the Premiership clean sheet record.
James was also the unlikely catalyst in helping Pompey take the lead and livening up a dour affair.
He started a counter-attack which ended with Gary O'Neil's curled effort tipped round the post by Dudek.
James again launched a long kick which Dudek flapped at on the edge of his area and Mwaruwari pounced to put his side ahead.
Kranjcar, who had come on for Matthew Taylor, was left in acres of space as he chested down a long diagonal Lauren ball and slotted into the far corner with the outside of his right foot.
Liverpool had left Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger, Peter Crouch, Pepe Reina and Javier Mascherano on Merseyside.
The Reds clearly had their eyes on the Champions League semi-final, second leg against Chelsea on Tuesday and the replacement were found wanting.
Liverpool had only a Zenden half-volley, which rattled the crossbar, to show for their efforts in the first half.
Pompey had a chance to put the game out of reach after the break but Dudek saved well from Mwaruwari from a tight angle.
The visitors had more intent about them in the second half and were rewarded when Hyypia headed in a Robbie Fowler corner.
Pompey were forced on to the backfoot and two last-ditch tackles from Glen Johnson on Craig Bellamy proved crucial.
The win was even more satisfying as Pompey's close rivals Everton and Bolton had earlier dropped points.
"We didn't play as well as when we beat Manchester United here recently getting the two goal lead was a bonus.
"We managed to hang on and Liverpool came back at strongly but, overall, I think we just sneaked it."
"After we conceded two stupid goals from two mistakes, we needed to improve.
"We did so in the second half and the team was much better for us. I think we deserved more."
Portsmouth: James, Johnson, Primus, Stefanovic, Traore, O'Neil, Lauren, Hughes, Taylor (Kranjcar 21), Kanu (LuaLua 71), Mwaruwari (Davis 90).Subs Not Used: Ashdown, Mvuemba.

For many years I've been learning epicurean skills and old world methods. This has earned me the first hand experience of natural hand dying which I'd like to share with a group today.
Since it's been many years and I've failed to document my work I'm going to experiment what I don't know about natural dyes and share with you what I know for certain over the next few weeks.
Your welcome to test your own dye curiosities and in the future I'll provide a template for scientific method so that you can finding your very own results.
...... ~ @ ~ ......
Well known natural dyes are:
And many others!
Sounds very interesting! I have done a bit of natural dying.
I love how the same dye with the same wool can have different outcomes depending on the mordant used.
The downside of natural dyes is most are not lightfast. Such a bummer since I obtain some of the best greens and golds using natural dyes.
I look forward to seeing your posts!
My (so far...) one and only experience in dyeing was in high school drama. Our drama teacher had each of the "Roman crowd" dye our muslin tunics with "anything from a plant that you can find in your kitchen at home" (meaning, of course, our parents' kitchen).
My parents' kitchen had a glass jar of pickled beets. I don't remember any of us actually ever eating pickled beets, but the juice looked quite promising as a muslin dye! So I made sure it would be OK and, remembering what Mr. Petti had said, got the fabric "good and wet" first, then put the beet juice into a cookpot, followed by the wet fabric, followed by just enough water to cover the fabric.
Low simmer for maybe 20 minutes, followed by pouring everything into the stoppered-up sink. I left the cloth to sit until the water cooled down. Then I rinsed the muslin in cold water and asked Mom to dry the fabric in the dryer (although she had me wash all the dishes, vacuum the floors, etc., NO ONE was allowed to touch the washer or the dryer).
I am not fond of pink. But the color the pickled-beet juice produced was a wonderful, soft rose. I was almost sad to turn in my costume at the end of our run of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." I have no idea what the long-term staying power of the juice was, fortified as it was with vinegar.
There are several yarn dyers--some of them were at Stitches WEST--using only direct plant infusions/decoctions/etc. for their dyes, and the colors are amazing. Two whose names I can remember right off the bat are Alpenglow Yarn and Tactile Fiber Arts. They don't restrict themselves to foodstuffs, though.
What mordants are used on foodstuffs? Anything specific?
The most common is acid (vinegar) because of it's ease of availability.
Mordanting in a cast iron pot can produce a bit of iron mordant, as can dying in a copper pot. Back when pennies were made of copper, dyers would through a few pennies in with the fiber to mordant.
Instead of vinegar, try citric acid crystals. You can get them online quite easily. They are cheap, easy to store, and no stank!
As for dyes, I have used black walnut that I collect to eat. Wear gloves! Crush up the green husk and boil it until it's black black black. Strain out the bits and simmer the yarn in the liquid - you get a nice rich brown. Works on hair, too!
It's good to see that people are taking an interest in natural dyes!
Thank you for contributing to the discussion. I look forward to checking those natural dye videos.

A&M Students Choose What Organizations to Fund
Some Texas A&M students want the choice of opting out when it comes to funding areas like the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered Resource Center. Even though the Student Senate at Texas A&M approved a bill offering that option, it's going to be a long time before it becomes reality.
Senior petroleum engineering student Hector Funes says the whole question makes his school look bad and that means he doesn't like it. "Once and Aggie always an Aggie," Funes explains, "and I want to be proud of my school."
He doesn't think there will be large demonstrations because the College Station campus is pretty conservative. That conservatism is also why the question emerged.
"It make us look like we're not welcoming," Funes says, pointing out that opting out of paying through student fees for some services is both personal and political.
The process will be a slow one. Funes understands he will likely have graduated and departed the campus before the issue is settled – either way.

Junior Soccer Match Kicks Off Human Rights Awareness
The Youth for Human Rights soccer team competed in a human rights soccer match organized by the Association for Human Rights and Tolerance of Italy. Youth for Human Rights is supported by the Church of Scientology.
Students from Monza and Civate in northern Italy are now Junior Ambassadors for Human Rights, an award they earned June 15 after competing in a soccer match dedicated to human rights awareness.
Organized by the Association for Human Rights and Tolerance of Italy and sponsored by the province of Monza and the region of Lombardy. Hundreds of parents and relatives cheered the youth on to victory.
Scientologists on five continents engage in collaborative efforts with government agencies and nongovernmental organizations to bring about broad-scale awareness and implementation of the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the world's premier human rights document.
The Church of Scientology published Scientology: How We Help—United for Human Rights, Making Human Rights a Global Reality, to meet requests for more information about the human rights education and awareness initiative the Church supports. To learn more, visit www.Scientology.org/humanrights [8].
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream," and the Scientology religion is based on the principles of human rights. The Code of a Scientologist calls on all members of the religion to dedicate themselves "to support true humanitarian endeavors in the fields of human rights."

Improves stability on virtually all types of terrain at a wide range of speeds
Helps isolate the rider from external feedback from obstacles that come in contact with the front wheels
Push-button servo-controlled On-Command system enables you to switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD - all with the simple push of a dash mounted button. Real 4WD when you need it. With Diff-lock engaged, you have traction to all 4 wheels, immediately. You decide when you need 4WD, the machine doesn't decide for you.
The fully automatic Ultramatic transmission is not only versatile and easy to use, it is also known to be one of the most reliable. This transmission is designed to maintain constant belt tension, meaning it does not have to slip for the ATV to come to a stop. This dramatically improves belt reliability and durability. It also provides continuous and predictable off-throttle engine braking, which can really help when negotiating difficult terrain. The Kodiak 450 also comes with an automotive style transmission lever with a parking lock mechanism, so you don't have to worry about setting a separate parking brake every time you get off the ATV.
The high-capacity cooling system with high-mounted fan-cooled radiator delivers consistent engine performance, excellent durability and protection from sticks and rocks.
Independent rear suspension with sway bar for limited chassis roll provides great terrainability.
Differential-lock speed override switch (forward only) allows the rider to override the speed limiter for certain conditions.
Convenient pushbutton electric start from any gear.
The one-piece steel tube frame and rear sway bar improve handling and cornering.
Rear wet brake is a multi-disc system running in hydraulic fluid inside a sealed unit. This keeps out the elements (such as mud and water) while providing powerful, consistent stopping power and greatly reduced maintenance.
Ground clearance of 10.8 inches and a high-impact plastic skidplate provide terrainability and undercarriage protection.
Trick digital instrument panel boasts a multifunction LCD display with speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeter, hour meter, 4WD status, transmission position and clock.
12-volt D.C. terminal provides a convenient power source for accessories such as cellular phones, handheld lights or GPS.
Fully independent long-travel four-wheel suspension features double-wishbone suspension front and rear.
Stainless steel muffler and header design provides superior power characteristics, exhaust sound and durability.
Tool-free air filter box for easy access and quick maintenance.
Light steering and a class-leading turning radius combine for increased comfort and incredible maneuverabilityeven in 4WD.
Large-diameter ventilated hydraulic front disc brakes deliver tremendous stopping power in a variety of conditions.
Steel cargo racks with special, extra-durable wrinkle paint finish.
Water-resistant, large-capacity underseat storage box provides added convenience.
Wide, fully integrated floorboards keep rider's feet dry and feature serrated footpegs for extra grip in wet conditions.
Large front and rear fenders with inner guards offer excellent mud/splash protection.

: Alcohol and Hair: It Can Be A Good Thing

Fatty alcohol is really beneficial for the hair and skin in a variety of ways. Im sure youve read the words cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, or stearyl alcohol on a product listed as one of the ingredients. Fatty alcohol sources can be obtained from animals, plants, or a completely synthetic process. Fatty alcohols provide conditioning and manageability for the hair and cetyl alcohol enhances Behentrimonium Methosulfate, a very popular conditioner and emulsifier that is made from rapeseed oil. Fatty alcohols help to give and enhance that silky/soft feeling we like for our hair and skin.
Fatty alcohols are different from non-fatty alcohols, the big difference between fatty and non-fatty alcohols are the number of carbons in the molecules. A non-fatty alcohol has a lower number of carbons such as one through nine which makes this ingredient a drying substance. Non-fatty alcohols are found in facial products as astringents. Yet, non-fatty alcohols are used in some hair care products since hair can dry quicker by using this ingredient. These alcohols do help to dry hair more quickly but can increase breakage and weaken strands of hair.
Fatty alcohols, such as the previously mentioned, should be embraced for the skin and hair.Fatty alcohols contain a high number of carbons that give the moisturizing quality that are often used to add moisture to the hair or skin. Some fatty alcohols can also add a little bit of thickness to the product as well. Below is a list of fatty alcohols.
Fatty Alcohols
Behenhyl alcohol
Cetearyl alcohol
Cetyl alcohol
Isostearyl alcohol
Lauryl alcohol
Myristyl alcohol
Stearyl alcohol

San Francisco QB Alex Smith is very excited about the additions of WRs Randy Moss and Mario Manningham to the 49ers passing game. "Love it, love it." Smith replied when asked about the additions, We had a great offseason, a lot of new faces came in, really fit in. But this is the time when real football starts, put the pads on and we'll see what everbody's got."
Fantasy Analysis:
Alex Smith has every reason to be excited about the new weapons that the 49ers have brought in to bolster their passing attack. He was the ultimate game manager for San Francisco last season and finished with a modest 17 passing TDs, against only 5 interceptions, while adding 2 TDs on the ground. Smith did everything new head coach Jim Harbaugh asked of him and frankly it wasn't much. The 49ers love to pound the ball on the ground, control the clock and let their smothering defense dominate. While that philosophy will still be in place for the 2012 season, Smith now has the weapons on offense to attack defenses through the air and should get that opoortunity more this season. Randy Moss has appeared motivated and impressive to date in mini-camps, Manningham is a proven talent to line up opposite Moss and keep Michael Crabtree in the slot where he is a dangerous weapon. Vernon Davis and Smith were a lethal combination in the playoffs for the 49ers and will look to keep that chemistry going. Smith is poised for a breakout fantasy season in 2012 for San Francisco as their potent rushing attack will open up the play action passing game. Draft him as a late round No. 2 QB and you will have a viable fantasy option to fill in on the bye week, as well as possibly carry a fantasy team that loses their QB to injury.

i just called kimber and they will START manufacturing early 2013
has anyone seen one yet?
they were supposed to be starting delivery in September.
the MSRP has got to come down!
But when I am considering 700-800 for a Beretta Cheetah or Ruger Alaskan, I hope they end up being in this price range
i just called kimber and they will START manufacturing early 2013
I assume it it nearly the same size as the Sig P238? Maybe slightly larger?
If there going to start manufacturing early 2013,you will see them on the shelvs late 2017. Still waiting for a Solo in Las Vegas!
I love my Kimbers, but really, why would anyone want to pay the price for this too late to the party gun? If you want an excellent, proven 380 then buy the Sig-238 for a lot less money. Why carry the Sig 380 when you can get a 9mm in virtually the same size gun in the Sig-938?

Last month we reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix FZ45, and like its predecessor the FZ38 before it, it has proved to be one of the most popular reviews on the site, demonstrating that there's a lot of interest in these powerful feature-packed cameras. However the FZ45 isn't the only new Panasonic superzoom. To replace the FZ38 the company has also launched the FZ100, a higher-specification premium model featuring full 1080i HD video with stereo audio.
Despite the interest in the reviews super-zoom cameras aren't as popular as they once were, thanks mainly to the relatively low cost of entry-level digital SLRs and the growth of long-zoom compacts. Nonetheless the FZ45 and FZ100 do have some fairly serious competition from other brands. Cameras such as the Pentax X90 (£214), the Nikon P100 (£277), the Samsung WB5000 (£280) and the Fujifilm HS10 (£290), not to mention the newly announced Canon SX30 IS (£399) with its huge 35x zoom all offer at least some of the same features. The FZ100 is certainly one of the better equipped of the breed, but with a high-street price of nearly £450 it is also the most expensive.
The FZ100 shares some of its main features with the FZ45, including its impressive Leica-branded f/2.8 – f/5.2 24x zoom lens (equivalent to 25-600mm). It also shares the same well-tested SLR-style body design, although the body is not in fact identical. The FZ100 is a few millimetres larger in every direction and around 50g heavier than the FZ45, mainly on account of the larger camera's 7.5cm (3.0in) 460k fully-articulated monitor. As usual Panasonic's build quality is second to none, and the camera handles extremely well. The textured handgrip is large and comfortable, and the control layout, identical to that of the FZ45, is comprehensive and well though-out.

Vin Gormley Trail and Kimball Wildlife Refuge is a 7.8 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Charlestown, Rhode Island that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and mountain biking and is accessible year-round.
mountain biking
Andrea D.
Nice long hike but had us on the road about three times with our dog. Cars zipping by made me nervous. Not really looking to worry about cars when out on a hike; I could stay home for that.
well I'm not sure about the in and back trail but we did the VIN Gormley trail and it went all the way around the pond. at first it's very hard to find the trail but you can start anywhere and then go all the way around it is some roads but not a lot.all in all a nice trail. not real great in the winter though, nothing really to look in the woods. but I'm glad I did it.
One mile is on the road but out of 8 that's not bad. this is a great walkway, I did it with a first timer and the road was a time for him to catch up. Great inclines and a few areas to climb boulders and have a snack and people watch. I don't write reviews normally but I was moved by the work the volunteers did to make this trail great for the campers who stay at Burlingame state park..... side note: 5 out of 5 bikers had to walk their bikes up rocks and I think that might be the reason they say this is a hiker trail not a riders path.
The Vin Gormley Trail is located in Burlingame State Park in Charlestown, RI. It is a long, but easy hike. It goes around Watchaug Pond, passing a boat launch and campground, going into deeper woods and some swampy areas. After about 2.5 miles you emerge out on a gravel road. But shortly you re-enter the hardwood forest. On your way, you will encounter some small ledges and Beech groves. And again, back on a road for some distance, before returning to the woods and a pine grove. I finally made it to the parking lot. Distance wise it was acceptable, but the trail was on some main roads too often for me.

Need a smoosh name or something similar
I'm trying to come up with a smoosh 0-combination of the names Verin and Syrena (veh-rin and sigh-reen-ah). The dad is Verin and the mom is Syrena and I'm trying to think of a name for their son. I want a smoosh name, or a real name that sounds like a smoosh of those 2 names, or any name you think would sound good as a son for those two.
Verin is a word from a made up language that means evil. Syrena is a variation of Sirena, a Greek name which references the sirens who sang men to crash on the rocks and kill themselves. If that helps you help me ^_^
Example -- In the girls forum, someone suggested that a good smoosh (which is also a real name) for a daughter for Verin and Syrena would be Seren. Hope that helps.

In Just and Unjust Peace: An Ethic of Political Reconciliation, I argue that religious traditions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in particular—offer a way of thinking about justice that poses an alternative to the globally dominant liberal peace and that holds out great promise for societies rebuilding in the wake of massive injustice.
Bronwyn Leebaw, in her post, notes that I seek to stave off the fate of Sophie Wilder, a character in a novel who converts to Catholicism then becomes estranged from her friends and family. Mirabile dictu, unlike Sophie Wilder, my book has met with great efforts to understand it, absorb it, and engage it thoughtfully, this at the hands of six reviewers each of whose own scholarship has contributed crucially to the contemporary conversation about the justice of dealing with past injustice. I am grateful. I am heartened, too, that each reviewer fundamentally "got" the book, grasping and in many ways finding sympathy with what I strove to argue.

Mar 9, 2012 - By Christina George, Staff WriterAuthorities arrested an Ethete man Thursday afternoon in connection with the homicides of Elva Charlotte Quiver and Eric C. Likes, whose bodies were found in a charred mobile home in Hudson last November.
The Fremont County Sheriff's Office reported that Laziur S. Hanway Jr., 19, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Hanway was scheduled to appear in Riverton Circuit Court at 1:30 p.m. Friday. He remains in custody of the Fremont County Detention Center in Lander on $1 million bond.
Fremont County Sheriff's Capt. Ryan Lee said it is alleged that Hanway is responsible for the stabbing death of Quiver, 20, of the Wind River Indian Reservation, and the beating/stabbing death of Likes, 42, of Hudson.
"The team of investigators determined that Ms. Quiver and Mr. Likes were the victims of an apparent robbery while at their home," Lee said in a news release. "They were both murdered and the home set ablaze."
The Sheriff's Office reported that Likes was Hanway's former employer.
"They knew each other, and the attack was not at random," Lee said.
Multiple agencies, including the Sheriff's Office and Bureau of Indian Affairs, on Tuesday began searching Hanway's residence in the 100 block of 17 Mile Road, which Lee said led to Hanway's arrest and detainment at the Wind River Police Department's Detention Center.
"A warrant was then later sworn by the lead investigator in the case, Fremont County Detective Sgt. Bill Braddock," Lee said. "Hanway was taken into custody on the warrant by the Sheriff's Office Thursday afternoon."
November fire
Law enforcement and firefighters were dispatched at about 9:50 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011, to the blaze after receiving several calls about a mobile home that "just blew up."
The trailer, which Likes was renting at the time, is located near the intersection of East Second Street and South Ohio Avenue in Hudson.
Witnesses reported hearing a woman calling for help from inside the trailer that immediately was engulfed by flames.
It wasn't until firefighters extinguished the flames about 90 minutes later that the remains of Quiver and Likes were discovered in a bedroom and hallway, respectively.
Because of the severity of the burns, the couple's identities were not confirmed until after autopsies were conducted Nov. 19 in Loveland, Colo.
In the beginning of the investigation, authorities believed a gas leak caused the fire, but investigators in January ruled it to be the result of arson and the deaths to be homicides.
Lee said the criminal case is still considered active and remains under investigation.
"We are still working diligently and expect further developments in the near future," he said.
Investigative efforts also included the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms agency, the FBI, the Fremont County Coroner's Office and the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's Office.

Urine Real Trouble
(One of my jobs at the library is to bill people who damage library books. Three children's books have been urinated on and reek. As we've had problems in the past with people claiming that the library fabricates damages for money, I put my gloves on and snap some pictures of the pee-soaked books. The next day, the customer comes in.)
Customer: "Your coworker says I can't check out any more books until I pay my fines. Why the heck do I have fines?"
Me: "You returned three of our books damaged with urine and are responsible for replacing those items."
Customer: *angrily* "I did no such thing! They were just fine when I returned them!"
Me: "Here, let me show you what we found in our book drop."
(Shows customer pictures of damage as customer gets more agitated with each picture.)
Me: "They are damaged and you are responsible for paying for them."
Customer: "They were just fine when I put them in your book drop!"
Me: "Are you saying that one of my staff peed on your library books?"

Trophy Taker's new A-TAC broadheads exude toughness and are engineered for accuracy and devastating penetration.

This cut-on-contact head has clearly been designed to hunt anything that a bowhunter is willing to pull a bow back on.
The A-TAC is available in standard threads and Deep Six threads. All Deep Six models feature a stainless steel collar that slips down over the arrow shaft for increased arrow toughness.

Love in Action Story Reaches the New York Times
Dr. Warren ThrockmortonDr. Warren Throckmorton's Weblog
- 2005 Jul 17
The New York Times weighs on the Love in Action controversy. Of course, the expert they quote is Jack Drescher, one of the most consistent critics of reorientation therapy. No one was interviewed that actually does reorientation therapy. Such selective use of experts is typical of the Times.
John Smid gives a good interview and discussion of the situation. With the Exodus Conference coming up this week (Tuesday through Saturday), there may be more on this story through this coming week.

EMILY AND ERIC'S WEDDINGAugust, 2008 in Hector
"We could not have asked for a better wedding. Our guests loved the area, and how it felt like a vacation but wasn't too long a trip; the many hotels / b&bs where people stayed were great; and the scenery and natural beauty of the location beat anything we could have found in new jersey at any price. We also paid about half of what we would have (overall) in the NY/NJ metro area. Can't recommend a finger lakes wedding highly enough."

"For appearance I give this place a 10: absolutely gorgeous lawns, flowers and banquet room, which is why we chose it. The pic gives a little idea of the beauty of the location. However, the owner is difficult to work with. All of the hidden costs (pay to rent chairs, tables, pay very inflated costs for their wine) add up quickly, and the owner is unable or unwilling to give you a clear picture in advance of what the final costs will be. All in all, maybe not worth the hassle."

UNC System Limits Golden Parachutes
The University of North Carolina System Board of Governors has adopted new limits on "retreat rights," payments to departing campus chancellors to help them adjust to a return to teaching, The Charlotte Observer reported. Some political leaders in the state have been outraged by reports that some officials have received these payments -- based on their senior administrative salaries -- and then retired rather than returning to teaching. The new rule limits payments to six months at the salary of a faculty member in the department where the former administrator is returning. Until now, the payments were at the level of the administrative salary and could extend up to a year. In addition, a department chancellor who takes the money but doesn't return to teaching will need to repay it. Similar policies are now being considered for provosts and vice presidents.

Load bearing section - gap in studs
Hello all,
My wife and I are building our dream house in which we hope to live forever. :thumbup: Quick question about how a defect was repaired...
There was a gap in between the shoe plate and the studs supporting the main beam for the great room/kitchen. The main beam is approximately 6" thick and 12" tall. Thank you ASHI-certified home inspector for catching this!
To show you the beam, and the studs.
The gap in the studs & inspector's report
Below are pics of how it was repaired (with wood shims and CS strapping). Is this repair correct?
The builder said they stand by this repair and will place a picture of it in our file. Also, there's a 10-year structural warranty. I don't want to nag the builder (and I'm not), but I want to be certain it is correct. The inspector recommended cutting out the studs about 10" up and in its place put in 2x10s (like header studs) to bear the weight. The builder says no--that repair would be a bad idea, they did it correctly. I turn to your great knowledge! :notworthy:
Thank you in advance for your help!
What's the stuff under the studs? It looks like shaving foam gone off,and the straps look like kitchen foil.
depends on the warranty, if it means they will come back and fix anything that goes wrong better hope the company is still in business ....
agree tony, not sure what the straps are for, other than to hide the splintered wood shoved under the load bearing column, haven't seen that one before ..... don't understand why they didn't cut the studs to allow another plate to fit under the studs and on top of the sole plate. don't like the inspector's suggestion, but that could just be me
just my humble thoughts .....
Is this sufficient?
That is pathetic!!!
They should have either removed the whole jack assembly and cut it correctly, or at the very least cut 1 1/2" from the bottom and driven a 2x4 plate in there.
Ask your inspector.
I would not have done it that way.
Why is there a gap? Are those studs the same length as other studs?
If they were just cut short (which seems wierd) I would replace them with correct length studs.
Just My 2cents
Your "builder" needs a new profession. It would probably take less than an hour for one man to fix that correctly.
I just received word that the builder is going to place an additional 2x4 on either side of this cluster of 2x4s to support the load. I hope this is good enough... I suppose they will have to back pull the Romex cable in order to get the new studs in.
Just wish it would have been done correctly the first time. I suppose for a cripple stud above a doorway a gap is tolerable, but for supporting the main load-bearing beam in a great room?
Any structural engineers here?
It would be incredibly easy to prop the load up temporarily, cut 1 1/2" from the bottom of the whole assembly, and drive in a new 2x4 plate. No wires to move!
I bet they just notch around the wires. You wait and see.
Because the studs are not flush on the bottom, they are not flush on the top. Simply cutting 1-1/2" off and sliding in a plate will not work. The tops are still 3/8" off flush (reverse of bottom) and depending on how long the stud fasteners/strap fasteners hold, the floor-loaded beam will settle over time and pop drywall fasteners/tile backsplash later. It may also have a roof load on it, creating many pounds concentrated pressure on the higher sistered studs. Let them do this; pull siding (if needed), cut side-driven fasteners between studs, remove straps, remove all shims, remove sheathing fasteners in affected studs, then the studs will level-out with the existing load it has, re-fasten all. No sisters to take the load designed for others. Encourage drywall installers to skip fastening to the built-up post (ganged studs) for no problems later. Check for bearing below all bearing points, as discussed, in the floor joist area below each and down to foundation/slab in the levels below.
Whoops, appears you are on a slab, belay the last....
Wow, what a hackjob!
a long sawzall blade and sawzall with an 1 1/2" taken out of the bottom of the gang studs as well as the 2 studs either direction and a sufficient length bottom plate ( about 28") put in there that expands over the hole in the plate to the left and all the way back to the next stud to the right. that will allow full bearing and nothing else should be needed. The way the inspector mention would work but seems to place the lateral load 10" higher than now and for lateral stability the header would have to nail really well at the studs to the left and right...
I'm thinking the idea of the builder to put studs in at either side is to try and hold his funky shim work from pressing out of the sides!
Is there any possibility that those ganged studs and beam lifted/heaved or did the previous builder just forget to put the ganged studs down to the bottom plate when building the wall??
Why are they short?
Gap on bottom and top? or only one?
The installation is very sloppy. It appears that the studs are out of plumb, possibly they were not cut square. The use of Simpson strapping is novel, but performs no evident structural function. The use of shims is also unusual, and suggests that the carpenters (if that is what they were) did not understand how to install plumb, properly cut studs.
The installation may well be strong enough to support the load with the fix, however the overall incompetent nature of the installation suggests the obvious question, namely what else is wrong with the house framing? If it were my house, I would insist on removal of the hacked up studs and replacement with properly fit studs. It really is not too difficult to measure the required length, cut square studs to fit, and install the studs with appropriate fasteners. Certainly it is not too much to ask in new construction.
As to the warranty, I routinely discount the value of any builders warranty. They may go out of business, they may dispute the cause, they may argue that they only owe the depreciated value of the claim, they may simply choose not to do the work. The only warranty of any value, in my opinion, is properly designed, properly installed construction.
I think what we're looking at here is... Incompetence... Brought on by cheap labor that is likely not here in a "legal" manner.

The Million Dollar Goal
by Dan Gutman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
SCOOOORE! Twins Dawn and Dusk Rosenberg live for hockey and worship the Montreal Canadiens. But their dad hates the game, and their crotchety, foul-mouthed grandmother thinks the twins should be doing homework and chores instead of wasting their time shooting pucks.
When Dawn and Dusk's dad gets the family tickets to the next Canadiens game, they can't believe their luck. They're even more psyched when they hear about the million dollar goal contest. A randomly chosen fan will get the chance to shoot a goal to win one million dollars. One shot for a million bucks! Could this be the beginning of a dream come true for Dawn and Dusk - or the biggest humiliation of their lives?
This book is about a grandmother who gets picked to shoot a hockey puck for a MILLION big ones.Dawn and Dusk are teaching Oma to shoot a puck.
Awesome review! Does she win the bucks?

Re: WWE: The Evolution Of Greed
~Friday Night Smackdown~
April 13th, 2007
1st Mariner Arena
Baltimore, Maryland
Last weeks SmackDown saw one of the most shocking moments in the shows history, as the entire stage collapsed on top of The Undertaker, but when the wreckage was cleared, The Deadman was nowhere to be seen and we still dont know who will be chosen to face Batista at No Way Out.
During an Six Man Tag Team Match were the message was simple from Interim General Manager Jonathan Coachman go out and impress me. And without any doubt, the most impressive and shocking event from last week saw Umaga bring the SmackDown set collapsing down on top of The Undertaker, only for The Deadman to vanish. Feeling theyd made their point, Umaga and Armando Alejandro Estrada left the arena, seeing an impromptu main event end when Chris Benoit teamed with Batista to see off Mr. Kennedy and Edge. Benoit proved that his claims for a title shot at the start of the show were warranted, as it was he who sealed the victory for his team. But the big question tonight is whether that was enough to get Jonathan Coachmans vote, or if the outcome of last weeks main event was irrelevant, and Coach had already made up his mind.
Last week, Matt Hardy stepped into the ring with William Regal, and despite the attentions of Regals partners Dave Taylor and Paul Burchill at ringside, Hardy emerged victorious. Tonight though, The Bluebloods seek revenge in a Six Man Tag Team Match, forcing Hardy to look for a pair of partners. And who better to team up with the United States Champion than the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Hooligans, Paul London and Brian Kendrick. Despite Londons knee injury still clearly bothering him last week, Kendrick and London were happy to oblige, although all three champions know the vultures are starting to circle, with The New Breed clearly intent on getting a title shot against The Hooligans, while Hardy knows that both Finlay and The Miz are making plenty of noise regarding a future match against him with his newly won gold on the line.
Bryan Danielson rebounded from his disappointing WrestleMania defeat to Gregory Helms by crashing Helms victory party last week, assaulting the champion and knocking him clean from the ring before Helms security squad intervened. This however was overshadowed by Helms announcement that hes launching a petition to have the Cruiserweight Championship retired in his honour as the longest reigning Cruiserweight Champion in history. Tonight, Danielson is set to take on Jamie Noble, but from what we understand, Helms will be in the arena tonight, canvasing for signatures, a move that is sure to draw the ire of Danielson once again.
All this, plus well hear from Chavo Guerrero regarding the news that Rey Mysterio is on his way back to SmackDown, well see if Santino Marella can finally lead The F.B.I. to a victory, Kane will look to continue to build on his victory last week over King Booker, and well try and find out just how on earth Funaki managed to get a microphone back in his hand!
Confirmed Matches:
Matt Hardy and The Hooligans vs. The Bluebloods
Bryan Danielson vs. Jamie Noble
Plus!! Batista, Edge, Mr. Kennedy, Chris Benoit and Umaga will all be in attendance to hear Jonathan Coachmans decision!!

Feeding her too much?
Up until a couple of days ago Gretchen was very food motivated with training. Now she couldn't care less. Vet suggested feeding her a little less in the morning so she's more motivated by the treats and actually measuring out her food and to just feed a little extra in the evening to compensate. Is this wise? I've been out of the house the last 2 mornings so my daughter's fed her. Could it really be she simply pigged out and wasn't hungry?
I hope it's really that simple. It's frustrating the heck out of me and she's not wanting to do obedience work because she's not interested in the treats. That's generally what calms her crazy self down and keeps her from chasing the cats...
My 5 month old has almost cut her feeding in half after her spay which is weird to me also because she was so food driven. But try different treats or boiled chicken, low fat cheese. Also, you could try to do short training sessions throughout the day with her kibble
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Talking through the situation with another member in PMs I figured out the problem. I didn't realize the scoop I had in the dog food was a half cup scoop instead of the full cup scoop I thought I'd put in there. I told my daughter to feed 2 cups, so she fed 4 scoops...twice what Gretchen normally eats. Mystery solved!
Have a 10 week old GSD "Sarge" never had a puppy,always at lest a year or older. Starting him on Orijen and pumpkin..Question: How much? per feeding /per day. Feeding at 0700 and 1700 hrs every day... more or less? Thanks in advance for all who answer.
mamajag if she fed 4 - 1/2 cup scoops that is 2 cups?
Yes, that's 2 cups. I feed one cup dry with 1/2 can wet food twice a day. If we're really active one day I add another meal at lunch. Vet is happy with her weight, growth, and condition.

text: Sparky62 - Unregistered May 19, 2012 8:52 AM He is not in it for the money. He accepted less this year than he knows Lorenzo is getting paid and he is the World Champion!!! People who say he should stay and fight for MotoGP's future are missing the point. They never listen to the riders and he has no incentive to risk his life each weekend just to be ignored. What it will take is myths to be shot down in flames. Racing was closer in the old days? Rubbish it was!! Casey only won because he had superior bikes and Rossi because he was the best rider? What load of tosh! Stoner can't race handlebar to handlebar? Why, because on one occasion Rossi cut a corner (both wheels over the white line) and almost t-boned Stoner and Stone mentioned that it was a bit dodgy? Stoner is a moaner? I challenge anybody to quote one of his moans and I can find similar from any rider you care to name. He has not received the respect due to any rider in MotoGP neveralone a dual World Champ. 76 agree 19 disagree

Officially, it's a new day for Utah State. A new conference. A new standing in college athletics.
But did it feel different to football coach Matt Wells?
"No, not really," he said. "We've been preparing for this since last year. As soon as we accepted the invitation, we were in there full steam for the Mountain West from a recruiting standpoint and a preparation standpoint."
The games are months off, but Wells was feeling very much ahead of the game on Day 1 of Utah State's Mountain West membership. For the last year, the program has been recruiting to the conference, which has the potential to be the top non-autobid BCS league next season.
"Just the level of play in the conference and the ability to be recognized as the top non-BCS conference is a big deal," Wells said. "The added media is definitely a boost."
Coaches have already had the chance to review for next year's conference opponents, formulating some tentative plans for the early contests. Although they'll likely go back and refine strategies as the season gets going, Wells said he and his staff have a very firm grounding in Mountain West football.
"It's a conference I'm familiar with in my time at New Mexico: very solid football and very well-coached," Wells said. "Until the teams play and you see the film, you don't know exactly what you're getting. But we've put in some pretty good scouting and preparations so far."
Since Wells was a player in the mid-90s, the football program has been through a rugged journey during conference realignment, including ill-fated independence. With the move to the Mountain West, Wells said he foresees an end to that odyssey.
"It's been a journey, but it's been a progressive one lately," he said. "It started with President [Stan] Albrecht and Scott Barnes, and their vision to get us to the Mountain West. It's a step in the right direction, and gives you some continuity and stability."
Football season will be upon the Aggies quickly. Mountain West media days are scheduled for July 22 and 23, which Wells, Chuckie Keeton and Zach Vigil will attend. The team reports for camp on Aug. 1, and has its first practice on Aug. 2.
Utah State kicks off the season Aug. 29 at Utah, and conference play begins Sept. 7 at Air Force.
The video above was produced by the Mountain West. Think the conference is excited by today's additions?

Four Observations (And Lots Of Questions) On The Boston Globe's Lovely New Paywalled Site [Headlines]
The Boston Globe's website has undergone an entire redesign and added a paywall. Joshua Benton asks, "is it what Boston readers want?"
This morning, The Boston Globe took the cloak off its brand new website,BostonGlobe.com. And I really do mean "brand new" — this is no redesign. Years ago, rather than building its own separate newspaper website, the Globe decided to focus on building Boston.com, a site that featured stories from the Globe but also lots more, aimed at creating something more like a community portal than a traditional newspaper site.
The strategy worked: Boston.com is one of the most visited newspaper sites in the country, far ahead of most of its major-metro rivals. But for a company that still (like all U.S. newspaper companies) gets the vast majority of its revenue from print, the content created especially for print — newspaper stories — could get a little lost online.
So the Globe is creating a separate BostonGlobe.com that will contain primarily the same stories that run in the newspaper and putting it behind a paywall. BostonGlobe.com will cost $3.99 a week, once a free trial has ended on Oct. 1. But its main source of readers will be Boston Globe print subscribers, who'll have free access to the site. Meanwhile, Boston.com remains free for everybody and loses most of the Globe stories it used to run. Most…but not all. Nieman Journalism Lab

WK audio upgrade Questions
So last week I traded my 98 ZJ in and upgraded to an 08 WK!
I had an upgraded system in my older Jeep, and now that I have the money I would like to upgrade my current system once again.
I got the new pioneer deh-p9400BH head unit and took my kicker cvx12L7 sub/amp combo from my old jeep and am installing that in my new one.
My question comes with the speakers. I would like to upgrade the from 6x9's the 3.5's in the dash and then the 6.5' in the rear doors last. I have seen that the 6x9' mounting depth is only 3 1/16" which is pretty shallow, most 6x9's don't fit.
My questions are:
1) If i chose a 6x9" speaker with a mounting depth of 3 3/16" can i add a spacer to allow for the additional mounting depth without having to modify the door panel. Basically, if I add a 1/2" spacer or something, will the door panel not fit because the speaker is sitting too tall? Also, all the spacers I have seen have been 1" or more. Do they make 1/2" spacers for 6x9 speakers?
2) If I do not go with a 6x9 but a component 6.5" system do I have to disable the 3.5" dash speakers? I'd rather just keep everything the same configuration, but add some "depth" or clarity to my system.
3) I am not familiar at all with the new Jeep, how to take it apart etc. I did most of the audio installation myself on my ZJ. I didn't worry about breaking anything or scratching because it was older. I do with my new one. I'd like to keep it as clean as possible. I saw the door trim removal guide on wkjeeps.com. Is it hard or relatively simple?
4) Since I have the stock sound system (non-BA system) i assume I do not have a dedicated speaker amp. Is this correct? I have no plans to add one, but if I do in the future, I would plan on taking power/ground from my existing monoblock amp lines. If i do this, where would be a good location for a 4 channel amp.
Anyways, I think thats about it for now. Thanks for the help guys!
Re: WK audio upgrade Questions
For fitting a large 6x9 in the front door, see my thread in this section entitled "Fitting Infinty Kappa 6x9's in the Front Doors", that will tell you what you need to mod in the door to get a good set in there. I would check out WKJeeps.com and look over the stock wireing for what you have to give you an idea on what speakers are run in parrell and which ones are not so when you go to set it all yup you have matched impedences. Alot times the in a factory non-amplified system the front dash and door speakers are high impendence wired in parrell to match the factory headunits tolerenace on the front driven channel, while the back typically have the the whole rear channels to themselves. As far as the the door panel removeal, it is not that bad, but you need to be careful and go buy the clips to replace before you put it back on. If it were me, I'd run a good four channel amp with the front 6x9's on two channels, x-over at 300-250Hz low pass, and the front 3.5 and rear 6.5 wiried in parrell going to the other two channels at full range with the front 3.5's running a passive high pass filter at 300-350Hz. Then I would get an Infinity Basslink for the sub portion, with an 80Hz low pass on it. Setup a power/ground distribution block back there maybe in the flase floor area and you have taps for the amp and Basslink. You use the pre-outs and remote from the four channel amp for a good clean signal to the Basslink. I have the Basslink and all Infinity Kappas in my WK, and the Basslink is perfect to me for bass, while the Kappas did really well with the factory Boston amp mine came with, but they do eat quite a bit of power. I probably would have gotten a little better fidelity buy going with Infinity Reference Series instead for the all the main speakers, but I wanted to do this only once since it is a pain to tear off all the door panels and a-pillars and such, and the Kappas are way more robust than the Reference series, so they should last much, much longer. It is easier to always add an amp than to change out the speakers again too:)

I'm getting ready to strip the wires on all my 12v cig adapter accessories and wire them into a distribution block hidden under the dash. This way, I can hide all the cables for the phone charger, xm radio, and radar detector and give the console a much cleaner look.
Can you recommend a good distro block that is also fused? Im thinking of going with the Red-Dee-2 Connect in line 4-way power splitter for $17.50 in lieu of making my own.
I've been through 3 Basslinks in the past 4 years and doubt I'll ever waste the $$ again. They aren't expensive, and they sound ok but they've been nothing but fickle POS's to me. None of the enclosed sub/amp products can deal with their own internal heat issues, IMO their minimal heatsinks aren't capable of cooling and there is no ventilation. I've dissected each basslink, and found a lot of problematic areas they need to address. Also, your basslink may advertise dual 10" speakers, which is false. There is 1 10" on the front, with a 10" speaker baffle on the rear of the box. I have my 12y.o daughter soldering much better than what I've seen internally in the basstink.
They are a great form factor for a low real estate system which is the best thing going for it. Right now I'm building a 4-1/8"TD x 5-1/16"BD x 16-5/16"W x 9-1/16"H MDF box to house a shallow mount Rockford Fosgate prime 10" R2 series 200w RMS with an MB Quart Formula FX1.400 monoblock 400W RMS amp. This solves the internal heat latency and dissipation issue, keeps the footprint small, and will sound much better and hopefully last much longer than the integrated sub/amp systems out there. Also worth mention that this setup is CHEAPER than the basslink.... HTH
