A decision by Chiefland city leaders about what, if anything, the city can do in regard to the cleanup of a house filled with human waste, animal waste, garbage, rats, roaches and fleas will have to wait a couple of weeks after the Feb. 11 City Commission meeting.
Two Chiefland women were jailed on Jan. 19 on four counts of child neglect.
The suspects are Heidi Ann Prophet, 35, and Donna Gail Deal, 64, both of 510 N.W. Fourth Ave. They were accused of child neglect because of the squalor they allowed children to live in at the house on Northwest Fourth Avenue.

Carson-Newman held a 49-31 advantage on the glass in the contest, and benefited from 10 second chance points.
The Eagles jumped out to a lead early, and controlled the first half to gain a 37-27 advantage at the break.
Micheala Watkins led BC offensively with 16 points, three assists and pulled down a team-high seven rebounds. Freshman Tuccoa Brackett had 14 points for the Tornados, going 5-of-11 from the floor.

Out of control..
Hi everyone,
Need advice on this...I've been bothered with my 3 yr old daughters attitude for this past week, she's been throwing everything that she could hold when she's mad, can you give me advice on how to properly deal with this.
Any advice will be a great help!

Hi Alma,
This kind of behavior needs to be corrected immediately so that it doesn't escalate into something bigger (like hitting and throwing a tantrum).
So the first thing I would do if I saw my child throw something out of anger is to go right to her and say firmly, but lovingly, "I will not let you throw things. That's not okay."
Once you have your child's attention and she has control of herself, you can then direct her to go and pick up whatever it was she threw, and put it back (or put it away). This not only stops her from continuing to throw things, but it corrects the bad behavior by having her show respect to the object that she threw by putting it back nicely.
If she throws it again or if she throws a tantrum, then you'll want to do a search on the forums for the word "tantrum" and you'll find more posts where I address how to correct children who throw tantrums. Lots of good information here on the forums about correcting a 2, 3 and 4 year old's poor behavior.
Let me know if you learn something or if you try something, and how it goes.
Warm regards,

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Rep. Joe Wilson's Comments and Connections Still in the Spotlight
September 14, 2009 | Joe Wilson -- the Republican Congressman from South Carolina who is at the center of Washington's latest brouhaha for shouting "you lie" at President Barack Obama during the president's health reform speech before a joint session of Congress -- has long relied on financial support from health-related industries. Two of his top staffers have also lobbied and advocated for health-related clients in recent years.
Committee Members Speak Out–Or Stay Mum–On Health Care
July 9, 2009 | Over the past three weeks, Capital Eye has contacted members of five Capitol Hill committees responsible for drafting health care reform legislation this summer. Here are their responses (and non-responses) and the money they're collecting from various industries.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Update: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Invest in Lawmakers
September 11, 2008 | When the federal government announced two months ago that it would be seizing mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, CRP looked at how much money members of Congress had collected since 1989 from the companies. On Sunday the government proceeded with the takeover and we've returned to our data to bring you the updates, this time providing a list of all 354 lawmakers who have gotten money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (in July we posted the top 25).
Power Struggle: Energy Industries Open Up the Pipeline to Democrats
July 17, 2008 | President Bush's decision this week to lift the federal moratorium on offshore drilling defied the Democratic Party's long-held opposition to oil exploration along the U.S. coastline. But recently more Democrats are indicating that they might change their minds, leaving environmentalists wondering whether the lawmakers will stick to their ideological guns or be swayed by high gas prices and campaign contributions from big industries.

ALBANY, NY -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo vetoed a bill seeking to increase the tax exemption in New York state for vended food and beverages from 75¢ to $1.50. The legislation, which the New York State Automatic Vending Association helped to create, passed the state Senate and Assembly in June and was awaiting the governor's signature or veto.
The vending association has worked for several years on the passage of the legislation (a7705 by Magee and s5219 by Libous). In September, NYSAVA lobbyist Tim Sheridan of Albany-based Capitol Group LLC informed New York-based vending operators that Cuomo had vetoed the bill last year and said he had wanted it to be part of the state budget. The legislation was absent from this year's budget, too, which concerned Sheridan.
"We're working as hard as we can to get him to sign it, despite it not being in the budget," the lobbyist said at NYSAVA's September meeting in White Plains. "We're also working the back alleys in Albany, telling legislators to put it in the budget."

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
Despite the abundance of secular theories about how language came into existence, from the beginning we find a speaking God who created speaking beings in his image by his own powerful word. "Now, the whole earth had one language and the same words...then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves'" (Gen. 11:1,3 ESV). These human words of pride and rebellion against God's decree to fill the earth come out of mouths that were still speaking the same language.
So, it would seem then that God's coming down and confusing their languages (v.7) was a curse for their collective disobedience. But perhaps we should not be too hasty. Prof. William Osborne notes that "the divine action was both an act of judgment and an act of grace" (1). Certainly, God's action was a form of judgment for he was counteracting their sinful disobedience. But it was also an act of grace as God removed the unifying factor that allowed them to perpetuate this sin of disobeying his command to "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" (Gen. 1:28 & 9:1).
One might postulate that if men had been faithful to God's decree after the flood and spread throughout the earth that languages and culture might have developed on their own as a manifold display of God's creative work in making man in his image. But such is not the heart of fallen man. Even still, God's purpose to be glorified by every tribe and language and people and nation (Rev. 5:9) would not be thwarted. Pastor John writes,
"When God permits a thing he does so for a reason. And that reason is part of a plan. God does not act whimsically or haphazardly or aimlessly. So when he permits this spectacular sin of the pride and presumption and rebellion on the plains of Shinar, he knows exactly what he is doing and what his response to it will be. Which means that the peoples and languages of the world are not an afterthought. They are the judgment of God on sin, and at the same time they are designed by God for the global glory of Jesus Christ" (2)
So, as men and women redeemed from our fallen state and destined for this multi-cultural worship of God in heaven, what ought be our approach to language learning? Let me suggest three simple aspects:
- Recognize the incredible complexity of God's creativity as you acquire a new tongue.
- Remember the self-exalting attitude that precipitated such diversity of speech and guard against it in your own heart through this process.
- Rejoice in the grace of God towards man and use this new language to express it in worship and witness.

PHOTO: Kanye West Covers 'GQ' Magazine
Listen to Kanye West Radio on iHeartRadio
For someone who hates the media, Kanye West sure is soaking up the attention.
The rapper turned fashion icon is gracing the cover of GQ Magazine's August issue and inside he opens up about his wedding, his music and his style choices.
He even offers readers advice on "how to dress like a God."
His wife, Kim Kardashian, shared the news about her man on Twitter.
So sexy! My husband on the cover of GQ shot by Patrick Demarchelier!!! http://t.co/lhRmXJtc14
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) July 19, 2014
In the interview, he gushes about his wife and explains what makes them such a "powerful" couple.
"One of the reasons why I think that me and Kim are very powerful together isn't just the concept of celebrity or this mega rap star and this mega-beautiful pop star. It's something I explain to my girl: She is who she is. I am who I am. We have advisers and friends and everything, but those people are who they are and we are who we are. And what I had to learn from Kim is how to take more of her advice and less of other people's advice. There's a lot of Kim K skills that were added. In order to win at life, you need some Kim K skills, period," he says.
Yeezus also opened up about why he and his lady love have so many haters and according him, it all comes down to jealousy.
"When people try to spoof or talk s***, it's like: But you're mad because basically Kim is the type of girl that, her entire life, if you were in school with her, most people would be studying and up late nights, but for some reason she would have the skill set to go and grab the one book, turn to the exact page, and just magically say, 'That's the exact answer.' Or she could wink at the person who had done all the work and get it done anyway. And the point of life is getting s*** done and being happy."
He also explained why Kim is his most prized possession.
"Saying 'Hey, I like Kim' isn't as inspiring to people as us getting married. And anyone that's in a relationship knows that in order to get to the point to get married and then to be married and to then carry on, it needs that work put into it. Right now, people look at it and it's like, "Wow, that's inspiring." Meaning that love is infectious. You know, God is infectious—God flowing through us and us being little-baby creators and s***. But His energy and His love and what He wants us to have as people and the way He wants us to love each other, that is infectious. Like they said in Step Brothers: Never lose your dinosaur. This is the ultimate example of a person never losing his dinosaur. Meaning that even as I grew in cultural awareness and respect and was put higher in the class system in some way for being this musician, I never lost my dinosaur," he says.
"Kim is this girl who f****** turns me on. I love her. This is who I want to be next to and be around. And then people would try to say, "Well, you know, if you're a musician, you should be with a musician, and if you want to design, you need to be with a girl from the design world." I don't give a f*** about people's opinions. Because when a kid falls in love with an airplane or a bike or a dinosaur—especially if you're an only child and it's not because of the book that the sibling was reading—it's like, f***, you mean to tell me that the dinosaurs walked the earth and stuff like that?! That's amazing! You mean to tell me that these giant multi-ton crafts can fly that fast and that loud, and they can flip, and there's danger, the possibility of them exploding? That's f****** cool! You mean to tell me that this girl with this f****** body and this face is also into style, and she's a nice person, and she has her own money and is family-oriented? That's just as cool as a f****** fighter jet or dinosaur! And just as rarely seen."
The issue hits stands on July 29.

I'm looking for an idea (or even better - realization ) to make the following background more compatible with transparent banners (image of boots with text in this example):
As you may see, dumbbell is dark grey, surrounded with too bright colors. This makes text hardly readable, so in my opinion, there should be less contrast difference. I'm not sure what are the viable options here, perhaps you might have any nice ideas?
Here is the source background: http://shrani.si/f/2U/12C/2yxAUglq/istock000004112327medium.jpgAnd that's how website will roughly look like (with different background amongost other things of course): <snip/>
My preferred option is to put a box around the text with a semi-transparent background, so that you can still see the underlying image.
Or maybe try adding a blur option to it ( gaussian blur - 5-8px )!
Where should I put Gaussian blur to, banner (slider) or on the background?
Won't semi-transparent square block around banner make design less minimalistic, modern and sleek?
I don't think you can do that with CSS—unless there's some experimental new feature I haven't heard of.
Heh, what I'm suggesting is very modern and all the rage, as far as I can tell. And you need the text to be readable, too, after all. A subtle transparent bg color should be fine. E.g. something like this (replace the background color with an image):
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8">
body {background: #108a7f; }
.wrapper {display: table; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto;}
.wrapper div {color: white; font-size: 3em; font-family: sans-serif; padding: 30px; background: rgba(0,0,0,0.2); border-radius: 10px;}
i {display: block; font-style: normal;}
b {font-weight: normal; color: #f96c6c;}

I made some experiments with css3 blur check it out http://jsbin.com/OFIreya/4
Ah yes, I have seen the blur effect. It's not widely usable yet, and sucks a lot of power, from what I hear, but certainly something to watch.

Wheel Chock it up to Good Advice
Do you really need a motorcycle wheel chock? We'll save you from researching the chat forums on this subject and tell you that yes, you need a motorcycle wheel chock.
Tie downs might work...for a while. But if you've ever spent much time in the back of a pick-up you'll know it gets bumpy and things get tossed around back there. A motorcycle wheel chock keeps the front wheel locked in place preventing unnecessary damage to it from jostling back and forth. Plus, all that moving around can slowly loosen your tie downs.
Motorcycle wheel chocks take pressure off the fork seals during transit, are easy to use - saving you time, easy to install and accommodate most bikes. Additionally, you save room because you don't have straps spread out everywhere and gain peace of mind knowing your bike is secure rather than worrying if you tightened every tie.
MotoSport carries a number of motorcycle wheel chock styles from several brands. Check out our complete selection:
- Bikemaster
- Kuryakyn
- Lock N Load
- Pit Bull Products, Inc.
- Powerstands Racing
- Titan

Beshear told reporters at a Capitol press conference Monday that Democratic leaders continue to urge him to run next year. But the second-term governor reiterated he won't seek election to any other office.
McConnell is up for re-election next year, and Democrats continue to try to find a candidate to run against him. Actress Ashley Judd had considered challenging McConnell, but announced last month that she wouldn't.
Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes hasn't ruled out entering the race.
Challengers will face a well-funded McConnell. He is expected to report to the Federal Election Commission Monday that he has raised nearly $12 million for his campaign.

There is no such thing as a must-win in December of a hockey season. There just isn't.
But there are crucial junctures to seasons, and they can pop up at any time, and for the Rangers this might be one of them. A home-and-home against the Islanders, tonight at MSG, tomorrow in Uniondale. No, it isn't imperative that the Rangers sweep. But it is imperative that they don't get swept, because in their fragile state it could be a death blow (Seinfeld reference).
That would be a disaster, an embarrassment of grand proportions. We already know that the Islanders beat the Rangers 3-1 out there in the only meeting so far, back when the Islanders couldn't beat a drum. They sure aren't that bad any more, even if they have slipped (1-4 in their last five, including an ugly 7-1 loss to Florida the other night). And the Rangers sure aren't that team with the big expectations that they were earlier in the season, either. They have fallen and they can't get up, with one win in the last eight games, a couple of those decided by a skills competition.
The Isles are also similar to the Rangers in the scoring department (84 goals in 33 games, compared to the Rangers' 88 in 32). I've asked this question before, but would you trade the Rangers' forwards for the Islanders' young forwards right now?
But here's something else I've mentioned before, and I still believe. The Rangers, bad as they've been, soft and thin as they are, are the benefactors of a weak East, and just a couple of wins away from being in the playoff picture. They are 11th in the East, but two points out of eighth. And which team is going to run away and hide? Montreal? Florida? Toronto? Tampa? The Islanders? They're all in the same boat. Only the Flyers should get markedly better among those in the bottom nine right now.
I still think the Rangers will have a shot at a playoff spot in the final week of the season. I think they will have some ups to go with these downs. This is as good a time as any to start one.
I'm heading to the Garden this afternoon. I'll check in later.

Few feats in IT are as rewarding as standing up a new infrastructure and molding it into a production system. Though we may be clicking more than racking these days, thanks to virtualization, it's still exciting to see the fruits of your labor ripen into a solid and reliable resource. In a perfect world, everything comes together perfectly, with every aspect planned and executed precisely as required, when required, and the end result is immediately ready for work.
In reality, we know it's not quite that easy.
[ Read Paul Venezia's guide to the Bash command shell: How to script: A Bash crash course | Track the latest trends in open source with InfoWorld's Open Sources blog and Technology: Open Source newsletter. ]
I'll use a new virtualization cluster as an example here, but this applies to just about everything in IT, from the network layer to the application layer. The nuts and bolts of the construction are somewhat formulaic. You pull together your chosen server, switching, and storage hardware and start hooking up everything. Your original design is followed more or less to the letter, and as you progress through the build, you hope not to run into anything too surprising, such as an unexpected driver incompatibility or a buggy software stack. Even if all proceeds according to plan and everything looks like it's ready to go, you're far from done. You're really just starting.
Because now you have to hammer the bejesus out of everything until you're confident it's 100 percent ready for production. And you're never going to be 100 percent certain.
It's human nature to hurry toward the light at the end of the tunnel, to hasten your steps as you sense the end of a journey or task approaching. Where we might have been methodical and painstaking with our progress initially, we have an urge to gloss over many seemingly innocuous or minor details when we're nearing the end. And here there be tygers.
Back to our new virtualization cluster: We're replacing an older cluster with a large pile of bigger better faster more, moving from 1G to 10G, from relatively slow storage to fast storage, maybe even as far as Clovertown to Sandy Bridge. The new gear is going to make everything easier and faster, and there are few who don't look forward to its implementation. Ports are wired, switches configured, storage initialized, shares and LUNs created, the whole miasma of a modern virtualization build happens in relatively rapid succession. After all, if it's a good design -- a cookie-cutter build.
A few test VMs are built, and they're fast and responsive, blowing the doors off of their elderly counterparts. They appear to work perfectly, and quick testing shows everything as 5-by-5. This is precisely where the desire to leap ahead and throw the system into production takes hold -- and where cooler heads need to lock it down to spend days or weeks running comprehensive tests on every element before production workloads are introduced.

Unsolved: Burger Chef murders
It's one of the state's most heinous crimes. 35 years later, the Burger Chef murder case is still unsolved. Now, Eyewitness News has uncovered a new theory connected to the investigation that focuses on another Burger Chef restaurant.
The Crime
10:00 pm, Friday night, November 17th, 1978: A deliveryman arrives at the Burger Chef restaurant on Crawfordsville Road in Speedway to find the doors unlocked but no one inside. The four young people working at the restaurant that night are gone.
The restaurant was clean, with no signs of a struggle. About $500 was missing from the cash register. Police initially brushed it off as "odd." Even though the women's purses and a jacket were still in the restaurant, police didn't process the Burger Chef for evidence.
The restaurant was cleaned and reopened the next day.
"The scene was never really processed as a crime scene," said Indiana State Police detective Sgt Bill Vann. It was a critical mistake that haunts the investigation to this day.
It was a crime scene. Assistant Manager Jayne Friedt's car was found abandoned in the morning, a few miles away from the restaurant – parked near the Speedway police station.
Two days later, a couple found the four young people murdered. Their bodies were discovered in a wooded area off State Road 37 in Johnson County. Found in WTHR tape archives, this announcement from investigators, "The Speedway Police Department and Indiana State Police announce the bodies of Jayne C. Friedt, age 20, Mark S. Flemmonds, age 17, Daniel R. Davis, 16 years old, and Ruth E. Shelton, age 17, have been discovered late this afternoon in Johnson County, Indiana."
The bodies of the four young people were found in three different areas of the field, killed three different ways. The handle from the hunting-knife used to kill Jayne Friedt was never found. The gun fired to kill Ruth Shelton and Daniel Davis was also missing.
Mark Flemmonds was brutally beaten, possibly with a chain. None of those pieces of evidence were ever recovered.
A Sister's Pain
It's been 35 years but Theresa Jeffries can't forget losing her older sister, Ruth Shelton.
"When fall hits and the weather starts getting cold. The day after she was buried was Thanksgiving," said Theresa Jeffries. "That's the last family picture of us together," said Rachel Shelton, Ruth's mother.
(Eyewitness News talked with Rachel Shelton about her daughter's murder several weeks ago. Sadly, Rachel passed away before our story aired – never knowing who killed her daughter.)
The women saved the dress Ruth wore in the last family photo and Ruth's high school ring.
"She was my only sister," said Jeffries, "I idolized her. I wanted to be as happy and go-lucky as she was."
Jeffries told Eyewitness News she still has nightmares thinking about how her sister and the three other Burger Chef employees were brutally murdered.
"I honestly believe it will never be solved," she said.
The Investigation and a New Theory
"I think we are getting closer and closer," said Sergeant Bill Vann. Sgt. Vann, with Indiana State Police, is the lead detective on the case. Over the years police have questioned a number of people.
"These two pictures here are two people of interest seen near closing time at the Burger Chef in Speedway," said Sgt. Vann, holding sketches of two suspects in his hands. The sketches were made from witness recollections.
Clay busts of the men were later made to show the public those suspects, labeled by police as the clean-shaven man and the bearded man. The clay busts are still at State Police Headquarters – a reminder of the unsolved crime. Sgt. Vann believes the two men were part of a group of robbers targeting Burger Chef restaurants. In fact, some of the same people questioned were convicted of robbing a Burger Chef on the near east side after the murders.
The detective believes at least three people in that group were involved in the murders.
"I believe one of them did know the kids." Now, after years of investigating this cold case, Sgt. Vann is working off a new theory- a twist to why the crime was committed.
"I believe one of the victims recognized one of the robbers and possibly instead of getting caught and going to prison that group of robbers was not willing to do that so they had to eliminate the witnesses," explained Sgt. Vann. The new theory focuses on another Burger Chef restaurant, just a few miles down the road in Plainfield. A Hardees is now located at the site.
Sgt. Vann believes the bearded man recognized Jayne Friedt. Friedt worked at the Plainfield Burger Chef in the past and Sgt. Vann believes the suspect frequented the restaurant as a customer. Vann does not believe the suspect knew Friedt had moved locations to the Speedway Burger Chef.
"That's when the crime escalated from robbery to murder. It would be nice to confirm that recognition," said Vann.
The bearded man, who was a suspect in the murders, has passed away, according to the detective. Vann now wants anyone who used to frequent or work at the Burger Chef in Plainfield in the mid-1970s call State Police.
"It doesn't mean it will solve the case, but it means another piece in the puzzle, one step closer," said Vann.
Ruth Shelton's family says with each passing fall season, their hope for closure fades but their memories do not.
"She was a good person. She was well liked. If you know anything, let them know. I want whoever did this not be available to do this to others," said Ruth's sister.

If You Know Anything
State Police now want anyone worked at or frequented the Burger Chef in Plainfield on US 40 and Dan Jones Road in the mid-1970's to share information that may help solve this cold case.

SAN BERNARDINO - Few Cal State San Bernardino students have overcome odds as long as Kevin Santos has, making it to graduation today.
Santos doesn't remember the accident. The last things he can remember before it is the end of his junior year in 2004 at Serrano High School in Phelan. But he has to go by eyewitness accounts of what happened two months later, on a July afternoon, when he was driving back from his internship at a Victorville law firm.
He was driving on a section of Highway 18 with double-yellow "no passing" lines. Witnesses tell him an oncoming car attempted to pass an 18-wheeler, obstructing both lanes of the road.
Santos swerved out of the way, ending up on the shoulder on the far side of the road. Another motorist behind the 18-wheeler, driving a Ford F-150 pickup, simultaneously swerved onto the curb as other cars screeched to a halt, attempting to prevent a multi-car pileup.
The pickup truck slammed into the side of Santos' Kia Rio. His heart stopped but he was resuscitated by ambulance drivers who had already been en route through the area at the time of the collision.
"When I could begin comprehending, the date was in October," Santos said.
He was in a hospital in Fontana. He had no broken bones, but he suffered something more commonly associated with soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, who get bounced around inside their Humvees after hitting an improvised explosive device: a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
"It was like I had shaken baby syndrome at the age of 17," he said.
His vision was impaired, requiring him to wear glasses for the first time in his life. Santos now suffers from tremors and seizures in his eyes, which prevent him from being able to drive. And he has serious problems with his short-term memory.
Although he doesn't remember the start of the process, Santos was already going through weeks of physical, occupational and speech therapy. He also had to participate in what would have once been simple card games as part of his cognitive therapy.
"I still don't like remembering that," he said, "because I was struggling."
Before the accident, Santos was an exemplary student, with a better than 4.0 grade point average and early acceptances to three University of California schools: Santa Cruz, San Diego and his safety school, Riverside. His plan was study English and then go onto law school, with an eye toward practicing divorce law.
"To be paid to argue, how can you turn that down?" he said. "And be paid to argue well? Come on!"
He was able to graduate from high school on time, and with honors. He knew he couldn't pursue the law with his inability to remember even simple things, much less the case law and precedents that would be required as a lawyer.
"But I had rose-colored glasses," Santos said.
He enrolled at UC San Diego, despite his family's misgivings. On his second day there, he wandered into the wrong class, listening to a lecture on a subject he wasn't taking - and had no idea until after it ended.
"If I'm not aware enough to realize I'm there (in the wrong class) for the whole session, I was not ready" to go away to college," he said. ""I do need to be a little closer to home now."
Between his cognitive issues and state budget cuts, it took Santos four and a half years to complete an associate degree at Victor Valley College in Victorville. With degree in hand, he moved into the dormitories at Cal State San Bernardino - his injuries have left him unable to safely drive a car - and began pursuing his bachelor's degree.
And he turned to an older dream, literally pulled out of a drawer: a book he'd started writing back in middle school.
"I'd been working on that since I was 12. That was my baby," Santos said. "I've been working on it ever since. I have 55 pages now."
He also hopes to license jewelry he designed his senior year in high school and to open a summer camp one day for children with TBI.
Today, Santos will join about 850 other CSUSB students graduating in the university's 12th December commencement ceremonies. His mind may not be what it once was, but he's still graduating with a 3.17 GPA.
"Luck is when opportunity meets skill," he said. "I seized that opportunity to show the world how skilled I am."
After graduation, Santos will take a few weeks off - "I haven't relaxed since 2005" - and then will be moving in with a cousin in Alta Loma, looking for work. Despite the down job market, he's optimistic. Santos has no qualms about leveraging the fact that the traffic collision left him disabled, and plenty of companies are actively looking for such employees.
"A lot of things had to work out just right for me to be where I am," he said. "So somebody's looking out for me."

Today I put a few rules in place to prioritize the packets going
to/from my VoIP box. They work well at ensuring clear calls, but I've
noticed that since adding the rules, the rest of my network traffic
has seemed to get quite a bit slower. I'm running the cdrom image of
m0n0-1.2 on a 400 MHz PC with 512 mb RAM. Here's my current ruleset:
I tried to take a simpler-is-better approach with one set of rules to
match the up/down VoIP traffic (dumped into a high-priority queue) and
one set to match everything else (dumped into a low priority queue).
My understanding was that the shaping would only really affect things
when there was VoIP traffic and that if there was no call going on,
traffic would flow as freely (minus a bit of CPU overhead) as before
the rules were put in place. I guessing that this assumption was
wrong. I've watched the CPU graph while browsing websites, and it
never gets above 2% or so, so the processing overhead isn't causing
the delay.
Would anyone have a recommendation or two for rules I could add here
to retain the high-priority VoIP traffic, while improving the overall
response time of other network traffic?

bad poor system terrible bouncers don't have a clue how to run a club
I recently attended Proud 2 with several work colleagues on a Friday evening to professionally unwind before settling into the relaxing weekend. Due to my ethnicity (BLACK BRITISH) I was racially abused by word of mouth SEVEN times before being brutally punched in the back of the head while harmlessly urinating. When I requested to liaise with management to report the violent incident I was ushered to leave immediately, barring in mind I am very diplomatic and courteous. I did not swear, raise my tone, utilise sarcasm or display any aggressive body language, yet I was made to feel wholly unwelcome simply because of the COLOUR of my skin. I would advise this bar to Caucasians only, If you happen to be highly tolerant and accepting of racism then Bar Polski is the place for you. Thanks for reading
The worst nightout I has ever had.. Not worth the journey . This will be another flop of a club. Treated like a criminal - body searched before you even go in. Poor cub experience
Was there on Thursday for the press evening and was pretty sceptical in the lead up. Was pleasantly surprised to see what Proud have accomplished - it's a completely different venue and fair play it does look amazing. The music was quality and fun and the circus performers were innovative and extremely entertaining. Had a real laugh - for those willing to mission it out to north Greenwich it's worth it if only once.
Plush Dafunk was chill. The new owners have opened up the floor more and added some features which add an extra bit of wow to the ambiance. When it comes to having a big night out not much compares to this place... vibrating dance floor and the energy you get from high ceilings.... can't wait for summer out on the terrace overlooking the thames.
Was blown away last night, has come such a long way from matter - looks amazing, great performances, was really impressed! Looking forward to future nights out there!
Went along with a mate to the launch last night and was pretty damn impressed, might have something to do with the free drink but I loved the place, the outside terrace alone was worth the trip
If Fabric couldn't make it work, what makes Proud think they can? All the line ups are oddly programmed so far, with a load of bands in BIG LETTERS with (dj set) sneakily slotted in somewhere after. Those line ups are not going to fill that venue, hence them offering loads of people to get in for free. Proud gets full because it's in camden, not because it has fantastic line ups (although there are some obviously). I'd be very interested to see how this works out....

New faces help honor those who served
Updated 8:56 pm, Sunday, November 11, 2012
Gerald Atkins had never taken part in a Veterans Day celebration before.
He served in the Army during the first Persian Gulf War and retired from the Air Force as a technical sergeant. In 2008, he ditched a career as a plumber to come to San Antonio, where his wife now serves. But it took his children to get him to his first Veterans Day event.
Atkins, 49, marched with his son, a Cub Scout, in Saturday's parade downtown. On Sunday, he was at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery with his daughter, a Girl Scout, as politicians, active-duty military, veterans and their families joined to celebrate Veterans Day.
News Channel
"It's one of those things you take for granted until you come out here," Atkins said. "You come to one, and it's hard to say we're not going to be here next year to celebrate all the guys and gals who gave it all."
Along with speeches, readings of each service's creed and tributes to those who have served, U.S. Magistrate Judge John Primomo presided from the stage as 15 service members became U.S. citizens.
"I want to thank each of you for ... choosing to serve this country before it became your country," Primomo said.
Maurine Jepwogen, a 21-year-old from Kenya who joined the Navy this past summer, said it was particularly meaningful to become a citizen on Veterans Day.
"It's really amazing," Jepwogen said. "Serving the United States is an honor. All over the world, people want to come here."
After the ceremony, attendees lined up to shake the hands of Jepwogen and the other new citizens.
Air Force Brig. Gen. Theresa Carter, the morning's keynote speaker, told the stories of service members who had died, such as San Antonian and Master Sgt. Cleto Rodriguez, who received the Congressional Medal of Honor during World War II, and Brandon Lara, who graduated from New Braunfels Canyon High School early so he could enlist and was killed three years ago in Iraq.
"These veterans ... implore us to ensure the lives they leave are worthy of their sacrifice," Carter said. "I am inspired every day by their passion, dedication and devotion to duty."
Among those on stage honored during the ceremony was Griselda Leveritt, 90, who served in the Navy during World War II and is a charter member of the Women in Military Service for America Memorial Foundation, which built a memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.
Like Atkins, it was her first time at the annual ceremony.
"I was so honored to be here," Leveritt said. "I hope I can make it another year."

Osteoporosis treatment may involve medication along with lifestyle change. A Mayo Clinic specialist answers some of the most common questions about osteoporosis treatment.
If you're undergoing osteoporosis treatment, you're taking a step in the right direction for your bone health. But perhaps you have questions about your therapy.
Is the medication you're taking the best one for you? How long will you have to take it? Why does your doctor recommend a weekly pill when your friend takes a pill only once a month?
Kurt A. Kennel, M.D., a specialist in endocrinology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, answers common questions about osteoporosis treatment and describes how osteoporosis medications work.
Bisphosphonates are the most common medications prescribed for osteoporosis treatment. These include:
Hormones, such as estrogen, and some hormone-like medications approved for preventing and treating osteoporosis, such as raloxifene (Evista), also play a role in osteoporosis treatment. However, fewer women use estrogen replacement therapy now because it may increase the risk of heart attacks and some types of cancer.
Still, women who have reasons — such as menopausal symptoms — to consider using hormones or who are considering using Evista for breast cancer prevention, can weigh the benefit of improved bone health into their decision.
Denosumab (Prolia) is a newer medication shown to reduce the risk of osteoporotic fracture in women and men. Unrelated to bisphosphonates, denosumab might be used in people who can't take a bisphosphonate, such as some people with reduced kidney function.
Teriparatide (Forteo) is typically reserved for men and postmenopausal women who have very low bone density, who have had fractures or whose osteoporosis is caused by steroid medication. Teriparatide is the only osteoporosis medication that has the potential to rebuild bone and actually reverse osteoporosis, at least somewhat.
With the exception of teriparatide, osteoporosis medications slow bone breakdown. Healthy bones continuously break down and rebuild. As you age and, for women, especially after menopause, bones break down faster. Because bone rebuilding cannot keep pace, bones deteriorate and become weaker.
Osteoporosis medications basically put a brake on the process. These drugs effectively maintain bone density and decrease the risk of breaking a bone as a result of osteoporosis.
Drugs in the bisphosphonate class are more alike than they are different. Some studies show differences in potency or effectiveness at maintaining bone density, but they're all effective drugs. All bisphosphonates have been shown to reduce the chance of a fracture.
The decision to take one drug over another often is based on:
Your doctor might recommend a monthly dose of medication if it's going to be better tolerated or better accepted. But if you're likely to forget to take your medicine on a monthly schedule, you might do better taking one once a week.
Drugs such as denosumab and teriparatide can be used by anyone with osteoporosis, but are more likely to be recommended for people with unique circumstances, including severe osteoporosis with very low bone density, multiple fractures, steroid use and young age. These drugs, which are injected, might also be given to people who can't tolerate an oral bisphosphonate.
The main side effects of bisphosphonate pills are stomach upset and heartburn.
To ease these potential side effects, take the medication with a tall glass of water on an empty stomach. Don't lie down or bend over or eat for 30 to 60 minutes to avoid the medicine washing back up into the esophagus. When the recommended wait time is over, eat to neutralize the remaining medication.
Most people who follow these tips don't have these side effects. But it's possible to take the medicine correctly and still have stomach upset or heartburn.
Bisphosphonate pills aren't absorbed well in the stomach, which is why you should take them on an empty stomach and not eat for at least 30 minutes. But bisphosphonates also can cause stomach upset. Some people try to avoid this side affect by:
Two infusion medications — those that are injected directly into your vein — have been approved for osteoporosis treatment:
Infused forms of bisphosphonates don't cause stomach upset. And it may be easier for some people to schedule a quarterly or yearly infusion than to remember to take a weekly or monthly pill.
These drugs can cause 24 to 72 hours of mild flu-like symptoms in some people. You can lessen the effect by taking acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) before and after the infusion.
Long-term bisphosphonate therapy has been linked to a rare problem in which the upper thighbone cracks and may break. This injury, known as atypical femoral fracture, can cause pain in the thigh or groin that begins subtly and may gradually worsen. It sometimes develops in both legs at once.
Bisphosphonates can also cause osteonecrosis of the jaw, a rare condition in which a section of jawbone is slow to heal or fails to heal, typically after a tooth is pulled. This occurs more commonly in people with cancer that involves the bone — who take much larger doses of a bisphonate than typically are used for osteoporosis.
Three to five years of treatment with bisphosphonates is safe and effective. The scientific literature is full of good studies of all the bisphosphonate medications that prove their safety and show their effectiveness at preventing fractures of the hip and spine for three to five years.
Beyond five years, there's less certainty because of a lack of long-term studies. However, even if you stop taking the medication, its positive effects can persist. That's because after taking a bisphosphonate for a period of time, the medicine remains in your bone.
Because of this lingering effect, most experts believe it's reasonable for people who are doing well during treatment — those who have not broken any bones and are maintaining bone density — to consider taking a holiday from their bisphosphonate after taking it for five years. But if you're at very high risk of fractures or you have very low hip bone density, taking a break from your osteoporosis medication may not be a good idea.
Osteoporosis medications lower the chance of fracture, but they don't eliminate all risk of breaking a bone. If you have a fracture while on treatment, your doctor will reassess you to check for other problems that may have contributed to the broken bone.
Depending on the outcome of that assessment, you may be a candidate to switch to a more aggressive medication such as teriparatide or denosumab.
Don't rely entirely on medication as the only treatment for your osteoporosis. These practices also are important:

NEW YORK CITY — Operators in New York City are no longer behind the 8-ball. On July 3, Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed into law a measure enacted by the City Council that increases the number of pool tables that can be installed in a location before it must apply for a billiard room license if more than one table were placed in an establishment.
The earlier statute had been passed nearly a century ago, when there were many pool halls in large cities. Since coin-operated pool tables had not yet been invented, the law did not make provision for tables installed and operated by a contractor in an establishment primarily engaged in selling other services or products. When coin-op tables made their appearance, the relic law thus applied to taverns and other places of public resort in which operators were placing pool tables.
The new law permits a location to have two pool tables without applying for the city's "pocket billiard" room license. While the licensing fee is modest – $340 every two years for the first table, plus $40 for each additional table – it comes with a long list of prohibitions and zoning regulations. By changing the two-table threshold for a billiard license to three, the law allows operators to meet the demand for multiple tables without the bureaucratic red tape.
In late May, the City Council's Consumer Affairs Committee, chaired by Leroy G. Comrie Jr., held a public hearing to explore amending the outdated code that administered pocket billiard rooms. Invited to speak were officials from the Department of Consumer Affairs, billiard room owners and industry advocates, who included members of Amusement and Music Owners Association of New York.
According to AMOA-NY's legal representative, Cary Kessler, there were no clear guidelines under the old law to identify a billiard room; the code simply defined any room or place in the city in which billiards are played as a "pocket billiard room." "As a result," Kessler said, "the Department of Consumer Affairs traditionally interpreted 'tables' as a simple plural: two tables."
Billiard room and small business advocates alike have argued that many locations have more than one table but do not act as establishments whose primary trade is selling time to play pool, as the law's real intention. "Adding this form of licensure to the many other necessities required of small business, particularly those offering patrons the opportunity to play pool as incidental to their main trade, is an unnecessary imposition," the AMOA-NY official said.
Kessler was part of the AMOA-NY contingent speaking at the public hearing. He was joined by the association's president, Frank Calland, E&S Music (Holbrook, NY), and board member Allen Weisberg, Apple Amusements (Bronx, NY).
An operator of jukeboxes and amusement machines, Weisberg described to the committee how the coin-op trade provides a valuable service to thousands of small businesses throughout the city's five boroughs. He also owns a 32-table billiards room in the Bronx.
The operator's testimony was challenged by one committee member who contended that pool tables were instruments for gambling. Weisberg said he never personally witnessed gambling at any of pool table locations or in his own billiard room.
An unconvinced councilman, John Liu (D-Queens), told Weisberg his statement was "hard to believe" and invited the operator to visit his Flushing, NY, district. Weisberg accepted, but Liu has yet to set a date.
Prior to Liu's tangent, the Bronx operator urged the Consumer Affairs Committee to drop the requirements entirely for coin-op pool.
Separately, AMOA-NY has asked the New York City Council to explore increasing the number of coin-op amusement machines allowed in any given location without applying for an arcade license. The current law allows placement of up to four games without the licensing requirement. However, the consumer affairs department does not include pool tables in its count under the amusement arcade law. Therefore, vendors can now operate up to four videogames, for example, along with two pool tables in a single location.
New York City defines an amusement game as a "player-operated amusement device," replacing the term "coin-operated amusement device" (COAD). The council changed the name two years ago to better reflect the attributes of new electronic games and their components. AMOA-NY said it expects the council to hold hearings on raising the number of allowable POADs from four to 10 in the near future.

My review of the x28i after 600+ miles
I've had my AW x28i Sportline w/almost all options for nearly 3 weeks and more than 600 miles, and wanted to provide my review of its pros/cons based on the short time I've had with it. FWIW, I came off a 2011 X5 to the X1, so I am adapting to some things on the X1 myself. Reason for the switch is my wife refuses to drive the X5 (she drove it 2X in more than 2 yrs of ownership) due to its size and weight of steering wheel. What better time to switch vehicles at minimal costs than now?
Exterior - Its looks are growing on me more each day. I wasn't a big fan initially, esp. the front where the fogs are located, and the sizing of "X1" badge in the back, which I removed on day 1. No regrets on not getting the MSport pkg, as I like the current wheels alot and was suprised that the lower bumper trims came in gloss black on the sportsline, I didn't know this and had expected just flat black plastic. It came with black exhaust tips as well. However, I still miss the looks of my X5 w/sport pkg., as it looked alot more aggressive.
Interior - I chose the coral red/black trim so it looks pretty lively inside. Everything is easily visible/reachable from driver's position so no complaints. The sport steering wheel is nice, felt like a jr. version of the sport wheel I had in the X5 as its smaller in diameter and thinner. Being a heated wheel was a bonus as I've never had one in any car before!
Trunk space is surprisingly good. I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to re-use, and store my rear bumper guard from the X5 http://www.bumperguard.org/SUV_Bumpe...p/9074-suv.htm into X1's trunk. Also my recent trip to BJ's/Costcos assures me that I won't have to resort to placing stuff in the backseats nor fold them down for my normal grocery runs.
Engine - I have not driven a 4-cyl for some time, and the x28i reminded me of why. Combined with the 8-spd, it is a super-efficient engine with engine revs of well below 2k RPM under normal driving conditions. Since I'm still in break-in, I have been keeping it gentle with throttle inputs, resulting in sub 2k to sub 1.5k rpm, where the engine feels gutless and a bit noisy. As I have more miles now, I have been using sport mode more often to keep the rpms above 2K for quicker throttle response. Also I have not taken it above 3.5k rpm so I can't tell you how the mid/high range feels yet.
Don't read this as a complaint to the x28's engine performance, as one can't expect much oomph at such low rpms. Rather, its more of a personal observation compared to the N55, as that engine did not feel gutless at low rpms, even when mated to a much heavier X5.
Eco-Pro mode - Don't bother using it unless you are using cruise ctrl, as it utterly neuters throttle response, which will most likely cause you to give heavier throttle inputs, thus negating its purpose. Felt like I was driving a Prius/Civic or something w/~100hp
Suspension/Handling - Typical BMW I've only had the opportunity to take a couple of off-ramps above speed limits, and the car felt planted and neutral on the turns. I probably won't find out the true capability of its suspension until next spring/summer when road conditions are more ideal. I'm also enjoying the relative weightless-ness of the X1 at takeoffs from deadstop vs. the tank-like feel of the X5.
Brakes - Have been taking it easy during break-in, but nothing to dissuade me from thinking it won't be of typical BMW quality and firmness. Am glad that my OEM rims are gunmetal color so I won't have to clean the wheels from brakedust as often lol.
MPG - First 100 miles, 60/40 local/hwy driving, was getting 20-21 mpg combined. On my recent 300+ mile trip, with all miles except for ~10 at hwy speeds of 60-80mph, was averaging 27.7mpg. Bear in mind I had up/down shifted countless times to vary the rpms. Suspect I could probably squeeze ~30mpg under normal driving, not bad considering the engine is so green.
Likes/Dislikes thus far:
OEM wheels, red leather, LED Angel Eyes, Fill ups at the Pump!
Eco-Pro/ASS, no bottom-end, lack of power rear hatch, no room for a real
2nd cupholder?

Very nice review, I traded my X3 6cyl
And I agree, there are things I really do miss about it. For one it felt alot roomier. Also, yes the cup holders in the X1 I give a thumbs down. But I agree with your wife even tho mine was a X3, the steering was too heavy, and thumbs up on the X1 in that department. As far as the rear and its room for the Costco trips, it's ok in my book, But I also have a lab, while I dislike putting my dog in my new vehicle, my husband has reminded me how she is just a part of our family. So yea, I don't think she's complaining as long as she comes along.
I drove my car today in a storm, very icy conditions, and I felt very secure except i was more worried about the driver behind me not being able to STOP, and well I'm sure you get the picture... Yikes, with that said,I couldn't wait to get home

'The Sabres battled back from a two-goal defecit during regulation as the Isles led 3-1 early in the second period. Jochen Hecht tipped in a Teppo Numminen slap shot from the point to close the gap to one just a minute after the Isles third goal. Ales Kotalik then tied the game with less than three minutes left in the game, muscling around Brent Sopel and putting the puck over the shoulder of Rick DiPietro.'

text: Last September, weeks after the Bills cut Vince Young, the attorney for the former first-round pick suggested that Young was close to broke even though he signed a contract in 2006 that guaranteed him $26 million. (In related news: reportedly spending $5,000 a week at the Cheesecake Factory doesn't qualify as a sound financial plan.) Young's story isn't unusual; in fact, it's often the all-too-familiar conclusion to what happens when fame, fortune and all that goes with it are thrust upon 20-something athletes with no idea how to deal with either. (ESPN's 30 for 30 devoted a documentary to the phenomenon.) Also not unusual: Young's situation will get worse before it gets better. Which brings us to the latest revelation, courtesy of Young's former financial advisor, who said that he arranged a seven-figure, high-interest loan for Young during the 2011 lockout so the quarterback could throw himself a $300,000 birthday party -- even though Young was low on funds at the time. First, what does a $300,000 birthday party look like? There better be real-life transformers and time machines because anything less than that is a rip-off. Second, who's the financial advisor that greenlights a seven-figure loan knowing full well that his client is pretty much broke? That sounds more like your drunk college roommate who thinks using the last $20 in your bank account to buy six cases of Milwaukee's Best is a great idea -- except 15,000 times worse. Anyway, we know about Young's predicament because the Associated Press obtained a transcript of the deposition given by Ronnie Peoples, president and CEO of Peoples Financial Service Inc. Peoples said last month that he contacted Pro Player Funding LLC about the loan after learning that Young had already paid for the party. "'I think we still would have been OK to go ahead and survive until the next season, but (Young) had a birthday event coming up that he paid 300 and some thousand dollars for,'' Peoples testified. ''That's what prompted that call (to ProPlayers Funding).'' http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-football/21693626/former-advisor-says-vince-young-needed-$300k-loan-for-birthday-party

USC has no shortage of ways to give back
By Liz McCarthy, email@example.com, 803-777-2848
Whether it's conducting research in the community, incorporating service activities into the curriculum of courses or getting involved outside the classroom, USC has a variety of ways that faculty and staff can integrate community service into learning at Carolina.
Les Sternberg, who serves as director of the Coordinating Office for Community Engagement and Service, is heading a charge to ascertain the scope of the university's impact on the community.
"Many of our faculty members are involved in community-engaged scholarship initiatives and I know that there are many others who want to be," Sternberg says.
He hopes that his office will be able to assist faculty in these efforts, and to provide a central communications portal for community agencies, organizations and faculty to engage in mutually beneficial research. Faculty members interested in this type of research should contact his office.
"Higher education has been moving in that direction and major research institutions such as ours are no exception. We have been involved in and will be increasing our efforts in making a difference in the lives of children, youth, adults, families and the various community entities that impact their lives," he says.
Faculty members can also bring community service into the classroom with activities that complement the curriculum, and the Office of Student Engagement knows how to get faculty members started. USC now offers more than 41 service-learning courses that emphasize hands-on tasks that address community needs as avenues for educational growth.
"Service-learning allows students to apply their learning in a hands-on way but also to address a community need, so students really see the benefits of that applied, active learning," says Jimmie Gahagan, director for student engagement.
These classes cross disciplines, from an Honors College course about homelessness in Columbia to a journalism course on public relations campaigns. Courses can have one aspect of community outreach or an entire course can be based in the community. Integration between courses and beyond the classroom experiences is the goal of USC Connect, USC's major initiative to enhance student learning.
Gahagan's office has the tools to develop such courses by partnering with the Center for Teaching Excellence and working one-on-one with faculty members. The office can also help find community partners, says Dottie Weigel, assistant director for student engagement and service-learning.
"What we would love is for faculty members who have closed out the idea because they don't imagine it could happen in their discipline to think that it really could because we have such diversity among our courses and there is such support to enable faculty to try this," Weigel says.
Volunteer Options
For the more traditional type of community service, faculty and staff can turn to Community Service Programs to find out how, when and where to get involved outside of classroom hours.
This month kicks off Carolina Cares, a university-wide holiday drive. Participants can "adopt" a family for Thanksgiving or write letters to members of the U.S. military during the holiday season.
The office also coordinates alternative break service trips, Service Saturdays and the MLK Days of Service, the largest campus-wide community service event at Carolina.
Faculty can also participate as an alternative break adviser. The Alternative Breaks program consists of substance-free, community service-learning trips during the university's fall, winter and spring breaks. Participants travel locally and nationally in teams to different cities, engage in active service, and have the opportunity to gain new perspectives on social issues while meeting community needs.
Trip topics range from HIV or AIDS awareness, hunger and homelessness to disaster relief and sustainability efforts. This means faculty can find a trip that matches their research or teaching interests and also have an opportunity to interact with students outside of the classroom setting, said Theresa Harrison, community service program coordinator.
"All of it really goes back into us continuing and advancing this idea that community engagement is a hallmark for our university and it's woven into the fabric of our mission," Gahagan says. "It's extremely important in light of our emphasis on leadership, and it really sets us apart."

INTERVIEW: Yves V at TomorrowWorld
Listen to Yves V on iHeartRadio
Tomorrowland/TomorrowWorld resident Yves V has had an eventful summer. He played three sets during each festival (even the party flight!), hosted his own V Sessions stage at Tomorrowland, and has also been busy in the studio!
We caught up with Yves V at TomorrowWorld where he talked about being a festival resident, the highlight of his summer, and new music on the way. Check it out below:
You're playing three times this weekend, and you played three times at Tomorrowland too. How do you prepare for something like that?
It's actually, it's really difficult, because if you play three days after each other, it's really difficult to find music, enough. But most of my preparation is going [to] my set for the main stage. Actually my set her at Smash the House, and at Tomorrowland it was my own stage V Sessions, I don't prepare anything actually, only my intro, and from there on, I just play what I want, because it works that way.
You performed at Dreamville, you're performing on the main stage, and you're performing on the Smash the House vs. Dirty Dutch stage. What are you looking forward to the most?
The Main Stage is always special because that's the stage that everyone knows from the after movie, and the feeling over there, you can't describe it. It's really crazy. At Tomorrowland, I enjoyed every set. Even if I play for a club for 200 people, it can be a really good set. The Main Stage, it's legendary, but I'm excited for all my sets. On Sunday, I play a b2b set with Belgian DJ Regi, so yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun. And all my friends are there, Dimitri, Mike. So yeah, pure fun.
Tell us about "That Big" with Blasterjaxx? How did you get hooked up with them?
Yeah, the track's going very well, actually. We are in the top ten, I think. The guys are young guys from
You also have a collab with Sander van Doorn too called "Direct Dizko?"
Actually it's a remake. It's a classic song from, I don't know, 10/15 years ago maybe. It was really fun to do. My intention was to bring it like a bootleg or something, but, yeah, Sander is going to release it on his own label, Doorn Records so I am very happy with that. And yeah, it works really well. It's a really hard beat, the kick, yeah.
How was it working with Sander?
Yeah, very nice. Sander actually is a guy like, ten years ago, I was already watching him when he was playing. So for me, it's an honor to work with someone like that. So, I'm very excited for that release. But there's no date, so I don't know when the release is going to be.
You've had such a busy summer and a busy year. You've been at all these major festivals. What has been the highlight for you?
Yeah, for me, because I am the resident of Tomorrowland, Tomorrowland is always special. Because it's like, 20 minutes driving [distance] from my place, so all my friends, everyone that I know is there. I live in
What's next for you? What are you working on right now?
In October, I have a track being released on Armada. Yeah, it's Mell Tierra, a Dutch guy. I have a track coming up on Wall Recordings from Afrojack together with D-wayne. Yeah, three tracks on Doorn Records. Actually so many coming up. We're working on track with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, but I think that's going to be something for next year.
Do you do a lot of producing on the road?
Actually, no. Last summer, July/August , most of my sets were in Europe. So then during the week, I have time to go home and do my work there. Because on the road, that doesn't work that well for me. I only do my radio shows and, like mash-ups on the road, but that's it. Real producing on the road, that's not for me.

'When asked by a Buffalo reporter about having to face a Sabres club that was desperate to shake its worst slump in nine seasons, Ftorek said, "The team in this room over here (pointing to the Bruins dressing room) is desperate for a win. Every team should be desperate for a win, because if you don't win, you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. In order to continue to be on the upside, you've got to be desperate every time you go out onto the ice."'
