Shocking News On Immigration Here In The U.S.
This past week, Steven Camarota appeared on Fox News show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight". He presented what can only be described as shocking news on immigration here in the U.S.
Camarota is the Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). This organization is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit, research organization investigates and reports on immigration.
His report came from his latest article entitled, "U.S. Immigrant Population Hit Record 43.7 Million in 2016".
That number means that immigrants are now about 15% of our estimated population of 300 million.
Here are some excerpts from Camarota's report:
The nation's immigrant population (legal and illegal) hit a record 43.7 million in July 2016, an increase of half a million since 2015, 3.8 million since 2010, and 12.6 million since 2000.
As a share of the U.S. population, immigrants (legal and illegal) comprised 13.5 percent, or one out of eight U.S. residents in 2016, the highest percentage in 106 years. As recently as 1980, just one out of 16 residents was foreign-born.
Between 2010 and 2016, 8.1 million new immigrants settled in the United States.
Mexican immigrants (legal and illegal) were by far the largest foreign-born population in the country in 2016. Mexico is the top sending country, with 1.1 million new immigrants arriving from Mexico between 2010 and 2016, or one out of eight new arrivals.
The largest percentages of growth of immigrants from various regions of the world include 38% from South Asia; 34% from Sub-Saharan Africa; 29% from the Middle East; and 29% from predominantly Muslim countries!
The largest percentages of growth of immigrants into various U.S. states include 48% in North Dakota; 41% in West Virginia; and 20% in Michigan and Nebraska.
If think these numbers are shocking, try this: the current immigration number reported as 43.7 million means that immigration has doubled since 1990, tripled since 1980, and quadrupled since 1970!
Now here is the scary part of Camatora's report: if we keep the current rate of allowing immigrants into the U.S., the 43.7 million will become 47.9 million in 2020; 56.9 million in 2030; 65.1 million I 2040; 72.3 million in 2050; and 78.2 million in 2060.
And these numbers relate to incoming immigrants only and does not consider their children or grandchildren!
The question that needs to be asked is this:
"Is it in the best interests of our country to continue this rate of immigration?"
If you believe the answer to this question is no, then you need to contact your representatives and senators in Congress and let them know of your concern. You can do that by going to this website and referring Camarota's report in your letters or email messages.
Now hop to it!

Urgent Alert Released After 2nd Killing Spree In Texas Targets Kids – Here's Who Cops Have In Custody
Ever since Trump got into office, his vow to "make America safe again" by keeping illegal aliens and third world country vermin out of our country has been met with resistance from liberals. Despite ISIS and MS-13 gang members pouring into our country constantly, 261 sanctuary cities continue to harbor these people, blatantly refusing to uphold our nation's laws. After months of liberals fighting tooth and nail to defy Trump and harbor illegals, disturbing breaking news about what an illegal has done to a 7-year-old girl is making headlines, proving yet again why we needs these degenerates rounded up and sent back to Mexico, as soon as freaking possible.
For reasons that defy all logic, illegal alien Rolando Martinez, 25, thought it would be fun to take a joy ride with his illegally-obtained AR-15 and randomly begin shooting at cars along a 18-mile stretch of highway on south Austin's Interstate 35. Four innocent people, including a 7-year-old girl were hit, where the child is now clinging to life after being shot in the head.
KXAN reported:
Police identified a man accused of shooting at cars with an assault rifle along an 18-mile stretch of Interstate 35 Saturday morning.
Late Sunday night Rolando Martinez, 25, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a 2nd-degree felony. Four people including a 7-year-old girl were hit. The child remains in critical condition as of Saturday evening.
Austin police say the shooting began about 2 a.m. Saturday and ended around 3:15 a.m. Calls to 911 came in from multiple places along I-35, stretching from south Austin at Stassney Lane up to Wells Branch Parkway.
"We have a lot of crime scenes. We have several people that were injured in this," said Austin Police Assistant Chief Joseph Chacon on Saturday…
…Officials arrested Martinez at a home on municipal traffic warrants Saturday. When they questioned him, he told them he had been drinking at the Nocturno Nightclub and didn't remember much from that night but he did remember waking up in a grassy median near the freeway, according to the affidavit…
…Martinez's bond is set at $1 million. According to Travis County Jail records, he has an Immigration and Naturalization Service detainer on him.
The local news has more details, revealing that this crazed Mexican actually started his shooting spree at a gas station up the road. KVUE reported:
Shortly before 2:30 a.m., police responded to the Valero gas station at I-35 and Braker Lane, and officers learned a man – later identified as Martinez – was seen "pointing a black AR-style rifle at several customers who were in the parking lot." Police said in the affidavit they reviewed surveillance video to confirm reports provided by witnesses.
While police were responding to the Valero station, officers were also called to the area of North Lamar and Masterson Pass for a report of three people – a 29-year-old male, a 31-year-old female, and a 7-year-old girl – shot inside a vehicle. The two adult victims suffered minor injuries, while the child suffered life-threatening injuries. Police said these victims reported they heard shots fired at them but did not get a look at the suspect's vehicle.
Is this enough bloodshed for you now, liberals? Despite evidence of ISIS and dangerous MS-13 gangs pouring into our country, braindead liberals still want to blast Trump as a minority-hating "bigot" for wanting to crack down on immigration. President Trump has recently had to resort to calling for the arrests of mayors and governors across America, who keep vowing to harbor these dangerous individuals, just like Rolando Martinez.
One of the liberal morons defiantly leading the charge against Trump's immigration policies over the past several months has been Cuban-born Miami Mayor Carlose Gimenez, who up until several days ago, continued to defiantly resist Trump's orders by harboring illegals. But Trump had finally had enough of idiots like Gimenez endangering the lives of Americans by refusing to comply with federal law, and set out to teach Gimenez a brutal lesson, threatening to pull a $480,000 federal police grant for non-compliance.
After receiving the letter by Trump's Justice Department that he was about to be sued and on top of that have his funding yanked, the Hispanic mayor immediately began changing his tune, and decided to do the intelligent thing, and begin complying with federal orders.
Congrats, liberals. If this little girl dies from your precious illegal, her blood is on YOUR hands…not ours.

Muslim Terrorist Just Made Another Disgusting Statement About His Victims From His Hospital Bed – Trump Is Pissed!
This is sick!
It's now being reported that the Religion of Peace follower who carried out this week's deadly terror attack in New York City on Tuesday evening made a phone call immediately before mowing down a group of pedestrians and cyclists with his rented truck.
Yesterday, a spokesperson for the FBI said that Mukhammadzoir Kadirov, a 32-year-old native of Uzbekistan, received a phone call from the suspected attacker Sayfullo Saipov shortly before he used his vehicle to kill eight people in Manhattan. Although the reason for the call Saipov made to Kadirov is not yet known, the FBI has now released a poster asking for the public's help in order to find Kadirov after authorities say they weren't readily able to readily locate him. But, less than an hour after the poster went public, Assistant Director in Charge Bill Sweeney announced that agents were no longer looking for Kadirov.
All these people immigrated to the US because of Chuck Schummer's 1990 bill establishing a lottery immigration policy rather than one based on merit. Because of this, the terrorist was actually able to bring in 23 of his family members. And this is the thanks we got.
What is it?
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program awards up to 50,000 individuals per year a visa for a green card, which bestows permanent residency in the US and is a path to citizenship.
Opponents of immigration complain that the program brings people to the US to compete for jobs, and even supporters of immigration acknowledge the program does not tailor applicants to needs in the US.
Visas are awarded by random selection in select countries to promote immigration from places that don't otherwise send many immigrants to the US.
Roughly 1 million green cards are issued by the US per year. In 2016, 45,664 diversity visas were issued. The vast majority of green cards are based on family connections, and other categories include employment-based visas and refugees or asylees.
How does it work?
Individuals in countries that are determined by a formula to have a low enough level of immigration to the US can apply for the visas at certain times each year. Most of the lottery recipients live outside the US, but a few are in the US legally on other visas.
According to the formula set out by law, countries that have had more than 50,000 natives immigrate to the US in the previous five years are ineligible.
The visas are distributed further by regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America (other than Mexico), Oceania and South America, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.
The program is run by the State Department.
While individuals are selected for visas randomly, they still must meet security and eligibility requirements that all immigrants must clear to actually get their visas.
Diversity recipients specifically must also have at least a high school education or equivalent and must have had at least two years of experience working a job that requires at least two years of training or experience within five years of the date of the application. They must also be admissible to the US — categories of inadmissibility to the US broadly include terrorism connections.
The process also includes an in-person interview.
"In order to immigrate, DV selectees must be admissible to the United States," a State Department information handout for applicants states. "The DS-260, Online Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application, electronically, and the consular officer, in person, will ask you questions about your eligibility to immigrate under U.S. law. These questions include criminal and security related topics. "
How did it get started?
The program was established in a bill passed in 1990, the Immigration Act. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — then a New York congressman — was one of 31 co-sponsors of the House version of the bill, spearheaded by Rep. Bruce Morrison, a Connecticut Democrat.
Schumer was credited with the concept of giving visas to countries with low admission rates to the US, which he developed in a different bill that he sponsored that was rolled into the broader law.
Morrison also promoted the bill as a way to legalize Irish immigrants, according to a 1990 report in The New York Times and an analysis of the development of the program from the group NumbersUSA, which advocates for sharp cuts in overall immigration.
The final bill passed the Senate 89-8 and the House 264-118.
What's even worse is that this terrorist had what's reported to be thousands of ISIS videos on his smartphone. He asked to fly the Isis terror flag in his hospital room and confirmed that he chose Halloween because he thought more people would be on the streets. More children would be on the streets.
Via Daily Mail:
According to the criminal complaint, Saipov chose the attack date to target Halloween crowds.
During the last few weeks, Saipov searched the internet for information on Halloween in New York City and rented a truck to practice turns.
He chose a route along a lower Manhattan highway and initially hoped to continue to hit more pedestrians on the Brooklyn Bridge, the complaint said.
President Donald Trump also tweeted about his:
The terrorist showed up in court in a wheelchair and in shackles.
When will we, as a society, yell out enough? When will we stop these corrupt politicians from converting our nation into a third world cesspool? Since they don't have to live with these people around them, they don't care who comes in, Chuck Schumer and former President George HW Bush, who signed the "Diversity Lottery Program" into law in 1990 both have blood on their hands, and they should all be held to account as accomplices to this scumbag's crime.
Please share if you want politicians to start being held accountable for the negative effects of the laws they pass….

BREAKING: FBI Just Made Second Arrest In Deadly Attack After Seeing Sick Part They Had In The Horror
Americans were stunned to learn that on October 31st, it was reported that a "lone attacker" took the lives of innocent citizens who were walking or cycling around New York City. The attack took place on Halloween, apparently because of what was guessed to be increased foot traffic. That logic means that this sick person was actually hoping to take out children with his attack
The events of the 31st came just one month after the largest mass shooting to take place on American soil when a shooter opened fire in Las Vegas and killed 50+ people and wounding over 500 more. The questions from that attack are still far from answered when this person decided to take more innocent lives with his holy war.
As with most high profile situations, the media has kept a tight lid on any information they didn't want to get out, but recently we've learned that the New York attacker wasn't alone as we had previously been told. The driver of the truck was apprehended moments after he drove into pedestrians and cyclists, but according to Conservative Daily Post, it took under an hour for police to round up one of the perpetrator's known associates who was also an ISIS sympathizer:
Despite the horrors from the attack in New York City just a few days ago, the left still refuses to see that the problem with these attackers is that they follow Islam. However, there has been good news as the FBI of New York has apprehended another jihadist in connection to the attack that left 8 dead and 15 injured.
It was only 30 minutes after the FBI put out a flyer with the picture and description of the suspect they believed played a major role in the attack when they caught the other Uzbekistani national. The media does a good job of painting the scene as the result of a mentally unstable lone wolf.
In reality, these operatives are part of larger organizations that are operating in a jihad against the rest of the world. However, the intelligence community put that stereotypical narrative to rest by immediately releasing information that they believed others were involved."
Mukhammadzoir Kadirov was the second suspect that the FBI believed played a role in the terror attack that used a truck to drive over innocent civilians. Like the attacker himself, Sayfullo Saipov, Kadirov was an Uzbekistani national with a questionable immigration history to say the least. It was found that Saipov was a recipient of a diversity lottery program that seemed to randomly pick migrants to accept into the United States. Although after the attack it seems that the program is not based on randomization but rather radicalization.
This man is a ISIS warrior and yet he was allowed to be chosen as a recipient of a program that should not even exist in the first place. Not only was his selection questionable but Saipov also brought 23 family members with him through chain migration, another questionable program that seems to hide true danger behind demagogic promises to keep families together.
Through reports from Europe, we know that many of the Muslims that come from the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asian regions of the world tend to lie on their government forms in order to hide the truth. This happens in Europe as the Muslim migrants lie about their nationality in order to apply for better benefits as they have no moral compass that tells them not to lie to infidel governments.
Islam condones lying to infidels so long as it benefits Muslims and Islam itself. With this logic it is not impossible to rationalize that monsters like Saipov could lie about who is and who is not family in order to get through a less strict immigration process.
Luckily the FBI has managed to capture another involved with Saipov but it is not likely they will release the information relating to his immigration status. He could have entered the country as one of Saipov's 23 family members, thus proving the danger that these programs represent.

Both groups agreed on one delegate, each elected two others. All are publicly uncommitted and uninstructed.
Despite claims from both camps, neither Taft nor Ike is within a hundred votes of the 604 needed to nominate. At week's end the votes stood:

Keeping track of life
When I was a young girl, I kept a diary. Every year on my birthday, Mom and Dad would give me a new, leather-bound book that was especially designed to hold my innermost thoughts and feelings. It was crisp and beautiful and usually had a lock on it (which I didn't bother using) and beckoned me to "Write, write, write!"
In my diary, I kept an account of my life on a day-to-day basis. I kept a record of events that affected me. I also kept my feelings and thoughts and personal observations about the status of my world.
Sometimes it is easier for a young person to pour out her heart in a diary than it is to tell her innermost feelings to a friend or relative. At times, the diary can become a surrogate counselor- quiet, listening, and not judging.
I stopped writing in a diary when I entered college. I had too much work to do. It was impossible to find private, quiet time in a hectic dormitory. Life was certainly more exciting, but also more complicated and tiring. Diary writing became a lost habit with me.
In later years, my teen-aged diaries became dust-covered and irrelevant. They ultimately got thrown away one summer when I was in my 20's. I regret that action now, because I could use some of those thoughts and feelings to write about.
In today's world, some schools are encouraging children to keep classroom journals. Teachers urge their pupils to write every day and to compose from personal experience. This practice helps students become better writers and, ultimately, better readers.
Why not buy your child a diary for his or her birthday? Encourage your child to keep a daily record of personal experiences and/or observations. Events that happen in the family or in school are fun to read about in later years.
Other items that can find their way into a diary could include: medical events, major purchases, big news stories of the era, special menus or parties, and trip descriptions. Whether you call it a diary, a journal, memoirs, or just a record, this form of writing is useful in many ways.
One word of caution to parents - Don't read your child's diary unless he or she brings it to you and allows you to read it. Or, if you feel that you absolutely must read it, never let the child know that you did. The lack of trust shown by "sneaking a peek" at a child's diary is hard to overcome.
Some suggestions for diary writers:
1. Write regularly.
2. Be accurate and honest.
3. Let others read your work periodically.
4. Challenge yourself to use new words.
5. Use a thesaurus and a dictionary.
6. Remember that a picture is worth 1000 words, so let your words paint a picture.
Some very famous people write autobiographies and make millions of dollars
Selling these books to the American public. What is an autobiography? Just a diary in expanded form.
Some children learn to read more easily when they are using words written by people their own age. They can also learn by writing themselves and then reading what they have written to others.
You'll never know when you might become famous. Get a head start on that million-dollar seller autobiography by keeping track of your life now.

What do you get when you mix the worlds of killer whale researchers with illegal backyard fighting? The answer is "Rust & Bone", the new film from "Un Prophete" director Jacques Audiard. The movie garnered rave reviews when it premiered at Cannes this year, and now you can check out a new UK trailer.
There is no dialogue in this video, just an instrumental M83 song, but what it lacks in story, it certainly makes up for in atmosphere and mood. "Rust & Bone" tells the tale of a friendship between a woman (Marion Cotillard) who works at a marine park and loses her legs in a freak accident, and a single father (Matthias Schoenaerts) who pummels other men into dust in order to provide for his son.
This is a film that I've been waiting for since I first saw "Un Prophete" a couple of years ago. That film takes gangster and prison stories and plays with the formulas, resulting in a stunning, powerful film. "Rust & Bone" looks to take a similar approach to a romantic picture. And you couldn't ask for a better leading duo. Cotillard is fantastic, and finally getting the recognition she deserves in the states. If you haven't seen "Bullhead" yet, you should. Schoenarts has a quiet menace and deep, wounded soul in that movie that will stick with you and haunt you for days.
"Rust & Bone" opens stateside on November 16, 2012.

Computed tomography evaluation of pelvic organ prolapse. Techniques and applications

OBJECTIVES: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common debilitating condition affecting women. Cross-sectional imaging with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depicts pelvic floor anatomy as well as organ prolapse and can complement or replace fluoroscopy. Occasionally, patients cannot tolerate MRI, but multiplanar visualization of pelvic floor soft tissue anatomy and organ prolapse is clinically desired. The objective of this study was to determine if computed tomography (CT) is a potential diagnostic technique in these specific situations for demonstrating organ prolapse and the pelvic floor. METHODS: Seven women (mean age: 63.5 years) with clinical pelvic organ prolapse were referred for CT of the pelvis from the gynecologic and surgical clinics from November 1998 to September 2001. The CT technique included the following: insufflation of rectal air, positive oral contrast, supine position with knees flexed, and imaging at rest and straining with a single-detector scan in 5 cases (slice thickness of 3 mm, table speed of 5 mm/s, 2-mm reconstruction interval) and a multidetector scan in 1 case (detector collimation of 1 mm, slice thickness of 1.25 mm, 1-mm reconstruction interval). Axial and 3-dimensional images were interpreted. RESULTS: Computed tomography demonstrated prolapse in 5 of 7 patients. At CT, cystocele was present in 2 of 7 patients, vault or cervical prolapse was present in 4 of 7, enterocele was present in 3 of 7, rectocele was present in 2 of 7, and levator abnormalities were present in 4 of 7. Surgery was performed in 3 of the 5 patients with positive CT findings, and prolapse was confirmed. Surgery was also performed in 1 patient with negative CT findings, and global prolapse was detected. CONCLUSIONS: Demonstration of pelvic organ prolapse and muscular pelvic floor abnormalities is feasible with CT if the patient strains adequately. In patients who cannot tolerate MRI, CT may be useful as an alternative diagnostic tool.

The world famous Mariachi band – Mariachi Mexteca (from the recent Doritos TV advertisement campaign) entertained pupils and their families at an acoustic gig at Kesteven and Sleaford High School.
The Mexican themed night of entertainment was held in the main hall at the school and teacher Jaime Schofield said they were extremely lucky to secure such a popular band, who have performed for and in front of some members of the Royal family, numerous British and Hollywood celebrities in both public and private functions as well as premiers and BAFTA awards parties.
This event was organised to fundraise and boost awareness for the charity organisation Operation Wallacea, who manage many conservation projects, aimed at protecting endangered species and habitats all around the world. The evening raised over £1,200 in support of a trip by some High School students.
The school is sending 18 students to the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico in July 2013, to act as volunteers who will gather vital scientific data to be used in the fight against deforestation in the area.
This expedition could potentially save a vital migratory corridor for the jaguar and also other species in the area such as the tapir and spider monkey. The students will also be actively involved in the protection of sea turtles and their nesting sites around the Meso-American reef.
Their next fund-raising event will be a Golf Day to be held at Sleaford Golf Club in April.

Upscale lighting manufacturer Authenticity Lighting [1], which was founded by the team that created Murray Feiss Lighting [2], will close in the coming months, the company announced recently. Leaders of the company, which made its debut at the January 2011 Dallas Intl. Lighting Market [3], cite economic factors as the reason for the company's closing.
Authenticity President Ron Hersh, who ran the company along with Chairman Murray Feiss and President Robert Greene, says despite a warm reception by the industry, the numbers just weren't were they should be.
"Although we were welcomed into a fair number of showrooms, the product just didn't resonate with the end consumers," Hersh says. "We worked with dealers we knew previously as well as new ones, but we didn't develop the traction we needed."
Going forward, Hersh says the company is filling all existing orders and offering deep discounts on remaining product.
"We want to leave the industry and cleanly as we entered," Hersh says. "We leave behind a lot of friends and a lot of memories, and for the next few months, we're going to lay low and regroup."
As far as what's next for the company's founders, Hersh says he, Greene and Feiss don't have any definite plans. Currently, their concern is winding down the business in an orderly fashion and settling accounts. But Hersh says he is grateful for all the support they have received both at Authenticity and at Feiss, and he hopes this isn't goodbye for the lighting industry.
"We came back not because we had to but because we wanted to," Hersh says. "It's really about the relationships and the people, and we can't thank people enough for their friendship and support over the years. We thank everybody for their support and we hope to stay in touch."

Facebook Allows You To "Demote" Friends
Have to many friends on Facebook? Thinking of cleaning your friends list out? Well, you may not have to ever have that "why are we not friends anymore" conversation. Facebook now has a new feature which lets you demote 'friends' to just being 'acquaintances'. The tool actually suggests friends who might be good candidates based on people who you haven't messaged or interacted with for a while. Once a friend has been 'demoted', you see fewer of their posts in your news feed – but they'll never know of their new, lower status.

Deep down, everyone wants to be Megan Fox – and by 'everyone' we mean a handful of unfathomably creepy teenage boys.
But being Megan Fox is hard. You might think it's all constant glamour, endless parties and compulsive Purell use because you know that everyone you've ever shaken hands with has probably just masturbated, but it's not. Sometimes Megan Fox gets sad. And sometimes Megan Fox gets angry. Sometimes Megan Fox even suffers from self-loathing.
This news has come as a total shock. We've seen all of Megan Fox's movies, so we assumed that the only emotion she understood was 'vacant incomprehension'.
This is a big week for Megan Fox – she's on the promotional trail for Jennifer's Body, and she desperately needs to prove to the world that there's more to her than a vague resemblance to Angelina Jolie and a constant, soul-draining quest for relentless attention. One way for her to do this could be to show what a talented and versatile actress she is, but that's obviously out of the question.
So instead we'd like to welcome you to a brand new edition of Megan Fox: The Irresponsible Self-Harm Years.
You see, now that she's blown the myth that she'll get naked in Jennifer's Body, Megan Fox has stopped all boys from wanting to go and see it. That leaves girls, and if there's one thing that girls love more than anything, it's stories about other girls cutting themselves. And that seems to be what Megan Fox has tapped into with this golden nugget of information, which came up when Rolling Stone asked if she was ever a cutter:
"Yeah. But I don't want to elaborate. I would never call myself a cutter. Girls go through different phases when they're growing up, when they're miserable and do different things, whether it's an eating disorder or they dabble in cutting… I'm really insecure about everything. I never think I'm worthy of anything… I have a sick feeling of being mocked all the time. I have a lot of self-loathing."
To be perfectly honest, we're not entirely sure that Megan Fox was using all of her marbles when she decided to say that. After all, it's going to be read by lots of young girls who'll want to emulate their hero. And we're here to say this: girls – if you want to be Megan Fox, you don't have to cut yourself. It's much easier to fluke your way into Hollywood based on your looks, pout your way through a handful of underwhelming movies and then keep your profile up by prattling on endlessly about yourself to anyone with a microphone while dressed as a sort of third-tier prostitute.
And as for self-loathing, that's just silly. Megan Fox is the envy of the entire world. FOr starters, she's got to work with Shia LaBeouf twice and… oh, now we get it. Sorry Megan.

text: Omg I am losing my mind. For the life of me I cannot make up my mind and actually make a reservation! Something is wrong with me ;-) We def want to do MNSSHP, and that's all I know for sure! So here is what I have it narrowed down to so far : Sept. 29-Oct 4...WBC for $841 ($745 plus the $12/day), Oct. 12-20 or 16-24...WH Storytime (we stayed there in may 2011 and these dates are all they have open in oct for 8 nights) for $899. WBC for mid oct rates are closer to the $1100 mark for the 8 nights. We also have the option of the week of Halloween but I'm thinking DD (who will be 6 by then) might be sad missing ToT at home. SO...do we save the little bit of $, try to brave the heat of late sept and go for WBC? Or play it safe in the better weather but s tad higher price for mid Oct? TIA everyone!

DeaconsIllustrated.com Associate Editor Ben Doster has been closely following Wake Forest's football team this fall as the Demon Deacons have had a resurgence on the gridiron.
Wake Forest stands at 5-2 overall and 4-1 in ACC play heading into Saturday's in-state clash with the 5-3 Tar Heels, who are still smarting a blowout loss at Clemson last weekend that put them a dismal 1-3 in the conference.
UNC desperately needs to beat Wake Forest in order to continue harboring optimism for a decent bowl game, while the Demon Deacons are playing to stay in the hunt in the ACC's Atlantic Division.
Article Continues Below
Should the Deacons knock off UNC on Saturday in Kenan Stadium, they will play at Clemson November 12 with the ACC Atlantic Division title up for grabs.
Check out Doster's comprehensive breakdown of Wake Forest in another pregame edition of 'A Closer Look.'
Talk about the resurgence of Wake Forest football this fall under Jim Grobe. Is it mainly because this team is simply more experienced than last year? What are the things this team is doing so well this season to give themselves a chance to play in a bowl game and perhaps even more?
The experience certainly does help, but the Demon Deacons have also been fortunate to not have any season-ending injuries to starters. The team's chemistry is really strong. Grobe often talks about how the players enjoy being together, and the offensive and defensive guys really support one another well. This is a close-knit team.
Despite being undersized the defense has been very opportunistic, forcing turnovers and making plays. The Deacs had five takeaways in their 35-30 win over then No. 23 Florida State. The strength of the defense is its secondary. Freshman cornerback Merrill Noel leads the ACC in pass breakups with 15. Senior strong safety Cyhl Quarles leads the team in tackles with 63, and provides key leadership to the entire unit.
Also be on the lookout for nose guard Nikita Whitlock. He is building on last season's second team Freshman All-America campaign. Senior outside linebacker Kyle Wilber is a play-maker, and brings pressure from the perimeter.
The defense is building depth as a unit, but may struggle against North Carolina's bigger offensive line, making it difficult to pressure Bryn Renner and defend Gio Bernard.
Break down the relationship on the field between Wake quarterback Tanner Price and top receiver Chris Givens. Price has consistently gone to Givens time after time this fall, and Givens has rarely let him down. What is it that's making that connection so valuable this season for the Demon Deacons?
Obviously they are very in sync with one another right now. Chris Givens has matured not just as a football player, but also as a person, which has endeared him to his teammates and coaches. It's hard to find a guy with the type of speed Givens brings to the table.
Clemson's Sammy Watkins may be the only receiver in the ACC comparable to Givens when it comes to speed, talent and big-play capability.
What has probably made the biggest difference this season is that Tanner Price has been in the system for a year. He knows and understands the offense, what his receivers like and do not like, and has had time to get them the ball. Along with its secondary Wake's receiving corps is one of the most balanced position groups on the team and in the ACC, making life for Price easy.
Everyone is talking Givens up, and rightfully so, but do not forget Michael Campanaro, Danny Dembry and Terence Davis. They have all rose to the occasion when called upon to make big plays this season. UNC's young and injury-riddled secondary has quite the challenge on its hands.
Wake's receivers are as good or better than other the Tar Heels have and will face this season, and having a quarterback as good as Price makes this challenge an even greater load to handle for a defense on its heels.
Defensively, where are the strengths of this Wake Forest team? How has the adjustment to the 3-4 scheme gone over the course of the season? Where are the places where this Demon Deacon defense is vulnerable?
As specified above Wake Forest's defense is highlighted by strong play from its secondary two studs on its front seven in Whitlock and Wilber. The Demon Deacons are also building depth at linebacker, and up front. The switch from the 4-3 to the 3-4 was what the Deacs needed.
After making the switch co-defensive coordinators Tim Billings and Brian Knorr are able to better use their personel. For example at a lean 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds Wilber is better suited for outside linebacker than defensive end. He is still able to come in hard as a pass-rusher, but also helps with support against the run on the perimeter, and his height also helps in pass defense.
The 3-4 scheme also enables the Deacs to use their abundance of linebackers (17), while a 4-3 does not. Wake simply just did not have the depth in its interior defensive line to play a 4-3 successfully, so moving to the 3-4 was smart, and it is paying off."
Wake Forest's running game seems to be in a state of flux right now. Where is Josh Harris in terms of getting back up to full speed, and who are the key guys behind him that figure to play if he can't go again this week?
This area of the offense appears to be an enigma. The Deacs show flashes of great running from time to time, but not on a consistent basis. Josh Harris exploded for 136 yards against the Seminoles, but that performance appears to be just a blip on the screen in comparison to the rest of this season's output on the ground.
Since lighting up FSU Harris has been recovering from a strained hamstring. He will return this week, but Grobe said Brandon Pendergrass is the starter and that reps will be shared.
The Deacs want to run the ball, and stats show they have not given up on it. At the same time with the success Wake is having in its passing attack it is easy to think the run is just there to keep opposing defenses honest.
This may be one of the worst rushing offenses Carolina will face this season, so the Heels should be able to focus their attention more on how to pressure Price and slow down Wake's stellar passing game."
Should Wake Forest manage to knock off North Carolina, they'll head to Clemson after a non-conference game against Notre Dame with the ACC Atlantic Division title on the line. Is this Wake Forest team good enough to do what they have to do to beat UNC, and are they a legitimate contender to win the school's second ACC title in six seasons?
Wake is good enough to beat UNC, but the Demon Deacons often live and die on the other team's blunders. Their win over Florida State and their loss to Virginia Tech are great examples. Against the Seminoles the Deacs forced five turnovers, but not a single one against the Hokies. They live and die by opportunity.
All North Carolina has to do is protect the football, and run it successfully and it will be a happy Homecoming in Chapel Hill.
Wake Forest could not be drawing the Tar Heels at a better time. UNC's coaching situation is uncertain, the NCAA investigation still hangs over the program like a black cloud, and the team has been bitten by the injury bug in recent weeks.
The loss of Matt Merletti is a devastating blow to an already very maligned secondary, which has the task of defending one of the conference's elite receiving corps. Wake has much in its favor, but cannot afford to take the Heels lightly.
Bowl implications are on the line for both teams, so the Deacs should expect Carolina's best effort. With a spot in the ACC Championship still within its reach Wake cannot afford to drop its guard against a team with arguably as much NFL talent as any squad on the schedule.
The Deacs are good enough to accomplish what many perceived as the impossible during the pre-season, but will not if they take the opposition lightly or shoot themselves in the foot.
What is more important is that Wake knows all of this, and should be ready to pick a fight in Kenan Stadium Saturday. Expect a focused and disciplined effort from the Black and Gold.

BEC + FPV transmitter = problem!
I'm having some trouble with figuring out how to run a powersupply on the plane. The kit came with two transformers; one 1.25amp, and one 3amp. Because the instruction manual is written in Chinglish, God knows which one goes to which. Logically the 3amp would connect to the transmitter, however it could easily be the other way around. Perhaps it doesn't matter.
My biggest concern is frying the transmitter on the plane. I definitally don't want to just wire in a 3S lipo to the transmitter. My initial thinking was to have a pair of new 6v 5A UBECs I have connected in seris powering from the flight battery, but this may as well fry the tx just as easily. I have an "adjustable" BEC from Dimension Engineering (at the ripoff price of $15 ) a year ago for my former transmitter, however I'll have to connect it to a multimeter and use the guess-and-forget approach on the potentiometer on the BEC... probably won't be very accurate, and because the BEC is capable of 10 watts, I'll probably still fry the tx.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Info about where I bought the transmitter (not necessary to my BEC/FPV problem)
I've bought a couple of 2.4ghz video transmitters directly from manufactures over the last two years... being that Hobby Lobby sells grossly overpriced FPV equipment, and the others (such as nitroplanes and Hobbyking) sell pitty 50mw-100mw transmitters, there are simply no retail video stores that interest me. Range Video, aside from their alleged spotty customer service, sell 500mw transmitters for $50, which is not bad, so longs as they have quick processing. When I emailed Range Video to ask how long processing time takes, I never got a response. The with them... for all I know he's an undergraduate running a shop out of his dorm room.
Enough said about that... I bought a brand new 2 watt 2.4ghz from a guy (runs an electronics dealer) in California for a fair price of $165 with free shipping. I figured it didn't matter that I was paying $50-$100 more than buying from a manufacture directly, however given that it would be expensive to pay EMS shipping for a small item, I would spend allot of time researching and contacting a distributor, I opted for a US dealer. Plus, I know I get a for-sure working product with a dealer warranty, and I got it in 3 days from the time I ordered it. $165 for a 1-3 mile range transmitter versus $545 for a Hobby-Lobbyitized 200mw FPV kit? I'm not doing too bad... Gotta love small business.
If that transformer from Dimension Engineering is an "Any Volt" you'll be fine. Once you set it, it stays set regardless of the input voltage. I've used it as well as using just a 3s pack and I've never had an issue. The "3 amp" power supply is most likely for your receiver. In any case it's overkill for either one. The power consumption should in the milliamps, not amps for either tx or rx.
I have Rangevideo gear - but I use a 3s lipo directly powering my downlink, and then another 3s lipo on the receiver. Not sure what the tolerances are on your specific gear but with a full charged 3s lipo at 12.6v figured it could handle the .6v extra. I don't have issues until I get to the low 11 volt range, then it's just not enough and you get more static / vid cut outs...
Good Luck
On a 1500 ma 3s lipo you should get at least three hours of use before the voltage becomes an issue. I really wonder if your 2 to 3 mile tx is all they said it is. I too, fell for that sort of thing and once I took all the cabinet off the tx to lighten it, the inside was no bigger than any of the chinese cheap tx's. Anything over 500 milliwatt is overkill anyway. Use a patch antenna and 200 milliwatts will transmitt farther than your rc tx will fly the plane. Try black widow. http://www.blackwidowav.com/ first class products and first class service. They also use what they sell so you have the benefit of their experience.

I have my doubts on the range too, however I feel much better that I bought from a solid dealer. Like I said, I got a great deal (compared to the hobby stores) and I'm not going on the manufacture's word. The system is very well built, especially the transmitter, with warranty flags on the screws (in case you try to crack it open yourself, they void the warranty), a large heat sink and fair enough antenna. So there is no doubt in my mind that the system transmits a perfect 2,000mw. I ordered a 18dbi antenna (around 15" long) to go with the tx. Maybe a dish for the rx. Besides, without an amplifier on my tx, there is simply no way I'll loose video range.
CBs and the FRS radios are almost never within their stated transmission abilities. CBs are suppose to be 5 mile radios, however they are in fact around 1/2 mile in a typical suburb. On the highway, maybe 3 miles. I bought a "18 mile" FRS at Costco last year that only worked at 3,300 feet in a suburb. On a ski slope or farm I'm sure this would be different.
I can always hook my Optic 6 to a 100 watt Guitar amp and get 40+ mile range on the flight controls then again I'll probably get a call from both the FAA and FCC when they find a 70oz 4 meter sailplane littered with my thumb prints and address label on it crashed into a class B airport.
I'd get a patch for the rx. Lots less direstional than a dish. Much wider angle. They also aren't very large. With a patch antenna you won't need a large tx antenna.
So I won't have a problem connecting a 3S 20C 1500mah lipo directly to the tx? i.e. won't fry anything? (including the camera)
I'm thinking on connecting the lipo directly to the tx, and then use the variable BEC from Dimension Engineering to power the 9v camera (connected to the same lipo)...
Your tx probably has a built in regulator so you should be fine. Then you can use the variable dimension regulator to power your camera. I have an fpv setup that has a 5 volt camera and a 12 volt tx. I run both off the same 1200 ma 3s lipo. I just use a radio shack 5 volt regulator on the wire that runs the camera.
When I was using a single pack (2s lipo) to power everything I did the same. I used the balance plugs. Power fom the balance plugs were going to voltage regulator and then it would power the Rx. And main wires of the lipo were powering the downlink Tx that I got from Range video. The Tx was rated for 12volts (3s lipo) but I was using only 2s lipo just to have single pack on board. Then I started using 3s lipo for the downlink Tx as recommended. However, I really didn't see much difference after switching to 3s from 2s. With 3s, downlink Tx heats up alot though...
My 18dbi antenna came in today. It is a heck of allot bigger than the thing that came with the tx, but the weight is still reasonable. I'm wondering if I need a similar antenna on the rx to get proper performance. I was thinking of a dish on the rx, but some folks said that was a bad idea. Is it necessary to have a beefy antenna on the rx, even though this is a one way system?

Was Cardinal Newman Gay?
Vatican claims of heterosexuality unsubstantiated.
Celibacy probable, but unproven.
London - 8 September 2008
"The Vatican is panicked that allegations about Cardinal Newman's sexual orientation may derail its plans to make him a saint," said human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell of the London-based gay rights group OutRage!
"The Pope's spin doctors have gone into over-drive to denounce claims that Newman was gay and to justify his exhumation and reburial. This reburial is contrary to Newman's instructions to his executors. He wanted to be buried with the man he loved and with whom he lived for much of his life, Father Ambrose St John.
"Following news stories suggesting that Cardinal Newman might have been gay, the Pope ordered Archbishop Angelo Amato, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Sainthood, to go on the offensive and issue a stern rebuttal.
"Archbishop Amato asked Father Ian Ker, an Oxford theologian and Newman biographer, to assert the Cardinal's heterosexuality, which he did in an article published on 2 September in the Vatican daily newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.
"Although he denounced suggestions that Newman could have been gay as "quite horrendous" and "absolute rubbish", Ker offered no evidence of the Cardinal's heterosexuality, only speculation and conjecture.
"Why are Ker and the Vatican being so defensive? After all, in a major theological document authored two decades ago by Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict), The Vatican conceded that having a gay orientation is not a sin. Why, then, does the Catholic Church apparently have such a big problem admitting that Newman might have been gay by orientation?
"Ker claims that the Newman-St John relationship was typical of the "loving friendship" between two heterosexual men that often occurred in the nineteenth century.
"But many of these platonic relationships were, in fact, expressions of latent homosexuality which never found physical expression because the men concerned lived in a homophobic culture where they either had no conception of the possibility of same-sex love or, for religious reasons, dared not express this love sexually.
"Ker's article is full of bald assertions that Newman was heterosexual, but it offers no proof or evidence. It dismisses the possibility that the Cardinal could have had a relationship with St John and even condemns the plausible suggestion that he might have been gay and celibate.
"How can the Vatican be so sure? Were its spies in Newman's bedroom every night of his life?
"The history of the Catholic Church is littered with popes, cardinals, bishops and priests who were secretly gay.
"Down the ages, lots of clergy have had gay relationships. Indeed, about one-quarter of the current Catholic priesthood is estimated to be gay. Why should anyone be surprised by the suggestion that Cardinal Newman might have had a same-sex relationship? It would not be extraordinary. It is fairly normal in the priesthood.
"It is impossible to know whether the relationship between Newman and St John involved sexual relations. Equally, it is impossible to know that it did not. That is why the Vatican's and Father Ker's denials lack credibility. They claim to know something that is unknowable.
"Why should we believe The Vatican? It has a sad history of dishonesty and suppressing the truth. It lied, for example, in its anti-safe sex propaganda which claimed that condoms have tiny holes through which the HIV virus can pass. The church's lies, promoted by the president of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Family, Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, were exposed in a BBC Panorama programme, Sex and the Holy City, broadcast in 2003.
The denials about Newman's sexuality should be treated with the same contempt. Even if the Vatican knew he was gay, it would never admit it. The Pope would deny the truth to suit the Vatican's homophobic agenda.
"Although we cannot know for certain, it is not unreasonable to believe that Cardinal Newman could have had a loving, long-term same-sex relationship with the man whose grave he shares. The passion of his letters and writings about Father Ambrose suggest this possibility.
"There is little doubt that Newman and St John were mentally and spiritually in love; sharing a deep bond and intense relationship. They were inseparable; living together for over 30 years, like a married husband and wife.
"The Christian historian Alan Bray has done major research on the relationship between Newman and St John, sifting through the Cardinal's diary, letters and notes. His findings are published in his book, The Friend (2003): http://tinyurl.com/6qq5nb
"They include the following admission that Newman wrote in his diary about Ambrose's love for him: "From the first he loved me with an intensity of love, which was unaccountable." He later added: "As far as this world was concerned, I was his first and last...he was my earthly light.'"
"Newman stated that St John was "fair and Saxon-looking, my Angel Guardian," who, he said, had come to him as Ruth came to Naomi and as the angel Raphael came to Tobias.
"Reflecting on St John's death in 1875, Newman compared their love to that of a married couple: "I have always thought no bereavement was equal to that of a husband's or a wife's, but I feel it difficult to believe that anyone's sorrow can be greater than mine...This is the greatest affliction I have had in my life."
"While we need to be careful about making stereotyped assumptions, it is true to say that the Cardinal was not exactly macho. In his portraits, he looks quite camp. His soft, gentle, effeminate demeanour is typical of what we often associate with some gay men (and, to a lesser extent, some straight men too). There were allegations during his lifetime about his circle of young homosexual friends. Close relations with women did not feature at all in his life.
"To be fair and to err on the side of caution, given both men's rather orthodox religious beliefs, they probably did not have a sexual relationship. It is likely that they had a gay orientation but chose to abstain from sex. Sexual abstinence does not, however, alter a person's orientation. A person can be gay and sublimate their gayness into spiritual and artistic pursuits, and into strong, intense platonic same-sex relationships, which is probably what Newman and St John did," said Mr Tatchell.

- Be aware of the appliances in your home, and work out which ones you can use less, or not at all.
- Compare your energy use to others and see what measures you can take to save money and energy.
Keeping a close eye on your energy consumption using SmartMeter™ data can help you find easy and surprising ways to reduce your energy use.
More power to you
What You Can Learn from Terri.
It's easy to assume that you use only as much energy as you need. But, when you keep track of how much energy individual appliances in your home use, you'll start thinking differently. The result can be energy conservation that will have long-term positive effects on our planet, and an immediate positive effect on your monthly energy bill.
Making the Most of SmartMeter™ Technology
Day by day, hour by hour you can visualize how your everyday behavior directly affects your energy bill. With SmartMeter™ data it's easy to pinpoint the times that energy use peaks and identify the devices that cause those peaks.

This auction is for an original DAVENPORT TABLE made by the KNOXVILLE TABLE AND CHAIR CO. of KNOXVILLE, TENN. The company was started in 1901 and the depression forced it to close in 1935. The table stands 30" tall, is 66" long, and 22" wide. This is a beautifully carved table with bulbous, baluster legs supporting the long, narrow top. The top has a raised-panel edge above cameo carvings. The legs are turned with highly detailed, acanthus leaf carvings. Even the stretcher has an egg-and-dart design carved into each side. Each leg has three gently curved feet.This table came from a convent outside Pittsburgh, PA. founded in 1868. T is a flaking label fixed to the underside of the top saying - KNOXVILLE TABLES, TABLE AND CHAIR CO. KNOXVILLE, TENN. This table is in remarkably good condition for its age with the usual knicks and dings around the table top edge. T is a scratch and a old nick repair on the top and a small chip on one of the leg turnings above the huge carving noticable only under close inspection. I've tried to detail as much as possible in the photos. The table weighs 92 pounds and will be able to use the inexpensive Greyhound Package Express shipping if it can be packed to not exceed the 100 pound restriction. Feel free to email any questions.

|Reviews for Hello Seattle: How My Life Went Insane
| iheartdonuts chapter 6 . 9/2/2010
EPIC. SO cool. I want to see the band already! Really good, even though it was short. :D
| Mr. Awesome Guitarfreak chapter 6 . 8/12/2010
worth the wait. btw check out my fic Meet the Napalms. its sick.
| Mr. Awesome Guitarfreak chapter 2 . 7/21/2010
This ain't bad. In fact, it's great. I really like the main character.
| naeked chapter 5 . 7/14/2010
I love it! update soon!
| Mr. Awesome Guitarfreak chapter 5 . 5/8/2010
great. i live in the L.A. area, but i would SO trade it for Seattle.
| iheartdonuts chapter 5 . 3/13/2010
Jojo seems cool. :)
I think the idea to start a band is awesome! As to the drama...it's great! I knew where was something up with that Casey girl! Looks like things are heating up : D
I really can't wait to see what's going to happen between Casey Asher and Aeytru!
Overall this wasn't good...
it was AWESOME! I'm seriously really getting into this, how do you think of such plots? '
Lol it's great, please update soon!~
| iheartdonuts chapter 4 . 3/11/2010
Cool! I kinda have my theory on what those Guitar Hero stuff might be, but I'm going to wait till you update, just to see if what I thought was right. :)
I really like how you describe the characters, and how it's in Aeytru's POV.
Please update soon! :)
kireichocho out! :]
| iheartdonuts chapter 3 . 3/11/2010
This stoy really reminds me of this book called, "Read my lips" it's somewhat smimlar but also very different. lol I didn't make sense. Haha okay, anyway I really liked this chapter, Aeytru got Asher's number. ;D
Casey seems mean...is she one of them? :o
Hope not.
Oh and I think double spacing might being a good idea, but I see it fine the way it is. _ Maybe spacing when they are talking would be better? Either way it's no big deal. :)
| iheartdonuts chapter 2 . 3/11/2010
Asher and Aeytru, that seems to fit nicely. :)
Haha poor Aeytru, those girls are meanies, she should have throned some lunch food to that girly...! lol Asher seems like a really cool guy, I need to find a Asher in real life, lol! Great taste in music. .'
The chapter is short but it was very enjoyable. :]
| iheartdonuts chapter 1 . 3/11/2010
Hey :D I wanted to thank you muchly for reviewing my oneshot back at the SSX Tricky section. I was new before and didn't know how to reply to reviews, lol I know I'm so slow right? Anyway I thought of thanking you by messaging you and then I saw you had a story and decided to read it. (I used to lovee Guitar hero)
I'm really glad I read your story. :D
Even though it's only chapter one, I think I'm going to like Aeytru. I also noticed this is going to be romance? I love romance stories. Haha okay I'm stop typing now, I'm on to chapter 2. :p
| Callsign Godfather chapter 1 . 12/30/2009
(Whoops, sorry for the delay. I fell into a lazy hiatus.)
Where-ever you would be able to fit me into the story seems best. Unless you already have a bassist character thought out, I could put up a character outline here.
| Jeana-chan chapter 2 . 12/1/2009
Hey CG, glad you liked it so far. I tried to reply earlier, but the reply thing didn't work :(. Anyways, I think including you in the story would be fun! Where do you want to come in?
| Callsign Godfather chapter 2 . 11/22/2009
So, first R&R. At least I think it's the first.
I like it. Especially the clever little letter-mix-up you did in Aeytru's name. Never listened to Atreyu, but when you live in a school that is predominantly jock and you fall in with every crowd that's not the jock crowd, you catch a name or two on a t-shirt.
Anyways, the characters are mostly entertaining so far, and I was wondering if you would like to include me in a cameo. Just comment on the thread here if you want to agree or disagree or discuss or whatever.
Looking forward to the next few chapters. Keep on writing :D

That's about as high a compliment that I think can be given. After it's all said and done, if you can forget about the gear, that's special. I like minimalist looking gear, but only in black. The silver craze is wearing thin, with very few exceptions.
Simply Plain and Gray
A: Why, yes, I have.
They are just so so plain. Gray like this New York City sky. They almost have no looks. If not for the silly Myrtle blocks, which prop them up, I probably wouldn't notice that they were even in the room. The amplifier, actually, looks a lot like a CD player. The CD player looks a lot like an amplifier. One time, I dumbly tried to stick a disc into the amp. I thought the damn thing was broken.
You know what, though? Last night, as I listened to Ella and Louis, I realized that I'd never seen so deep into the music. It was weird.
I've heard of speakers disappearing. You know the kind of audiophile talk. But can CD players disappear? Amplifiers? What about my couch? Can hi-end audio make my couch disappear?
Last night, I tell you, everything everything; my speakers, the cables, the silly blocks, my orange couch, my wood floors, the television set, the windows, the walls of my room, all of downtown Jersey City seemed to disappear. Where did everything go?
The most amazing and obvious wonder, I find, of this hi-end audio business is the components' ability to create magical images of musicians making music, and to place them all flesh and body and soul in the space between a pair of loudspeakers. It's crazy and wonderful and breathtaking.
The Ayre gear works this magic better than anything else I've had in my little Jersey City apartment. Quietly and discreetly, like clouds passing through the sky, the simply plain and gray Ayre gear gently removes all else from the scene, leaving only beautifully detailed and warmly breathing music.
Quiet, don't let Art Dudley hear you," he'll be calling you an audio nerd/geek for enjoying ""it doesn't exist in the real world"" imaging", and sentence you to counting solder joints inside those Ayre's. Hey Art, at the price per joint you quoted for that passive preamp, the motherboard in my PC would cost $17,829,415.25 (hmm, can you imagine a Krell PC motherboard, or even better, an Audio Note...)

General Question
What are some "legitimate" reason for a citizens to own firearms with high-volume clips?
This is not intended to be a "poke" at gun-lovers. I am asking because I truly do not understand the need or desire for high volume, high speed clips in a peaceful society. I understand and support the rights of sportsmen, recreational shooters, and the like, and I grew up in a rural area, and had a b-b gun, and as an adult I have lived in several rural areas where having a sidearm or shotgun handy might mean the difference between being bitten by a poisonous snake or not.
That being said, I fail to understand the need (as opposed to the want or desire) for a high-volume firearms, except by police or military, for obvious reasons. Can the collective enlighten me?

Could Rooftop Pastor win Jackson Jr Congressional Seat?
November 30, 2012 in Politics
Chicago's south side Pastor Corey Brooks has a lot of nicknames. And he's earned every one. He's the Rooftop Preacher, the Tent City Pastor, and the Walk-across-America Minister. But Pastor Brooks is contemplating a new title, Congressman. In an announcement earlier this week, the Rooftop Pastor confirmed he is seriously considering a run for the open Congressional seat of the scandal-plagued, former Representative, Jesse Jackson Jr.

MANILA, March 30 (UPI) -- Salvage personnel Saturday removed the final 250-ton section of a U.S. Navy minesweeper's hull from a reef in the Philippines, Navy officials said.
The 1,312-ton USS Guardian ran onto the Tubbataha Reef in January. Efforts to free it failed, forcing its demolition.
"As the hull has been removed, the team is now shifting their effort to collecting minor debris that remains on the reef," Capt. Mark Matthews, supervisor of salvage, said. "We also have a collaborative team from the U.S. and the Philippines beginning to assess the condition of the reef."
The salvage operation also includes removing any potentially harmful materials, including petroleum-based products, human wastewater and other wreckage debris.
"Every salvage operation presents unique challenges," Matthews said. "It has been difficult to extract the Guardian without causing further damage to the reef, but the U.S. Navy and SMIT salvage team, with support from other companies and the government of the Philippines, have really done a superb job. I could not be more proud."
The Navy said in a release on its website that no fuel has leaked since the grounding and all of the approximately 15,000 gallons aboard the ship were safely transferred off it early on.
"We continue to work closely with the Philippine coast guard, navy and Tubbataha Reef Park rangers, and we are grateful for the support we have received to remove Guardian and minimize further damage to the reef," Matthews said.

What Do You Argue About With Your Significant Other? Here's What Our Listeners Said
A list was recently released of the top 50 things that people argue about with their significant others. They probably could have made it a list 50,000 things if they'd wanted. The number one thing on the list was obviously money, and there were some other classics like household chores and politics on the list as well. I wanted to see what you guys had to say about it, so I posted it as the Topic of the Day on my Facebook page. Here are some of my favorite answers.

Between Cheryl's sequinned mermaid dress and Kylie's pearl-button embellished playsuit, the message at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert was go big or go home. And a few of the performers got even more exotic with their stage style ensembles...
Jessie J showed off her unique and vibrant style in a blue-feather bedecked and multicoloured sequin gown by Falguni & Shane Peacock, which featured a sexy thigh-high split and which the songstress teamed with a high pony and black ankle boots.
Annie Lennox also took to the stage in feathers, sporting angel wings over her silver metallic dress.
The age-defying Grace Jones (unbelievably, she's 64), who not only sang but also hula-hooped onstage, didn't sport any plumage but did show off her killer legs in a red and black strapless PVC-style leotard with train, which she accessorized with opera gloves and an enormous red headpiece.
What do you think of the divas' stage style? Leave a comment and let us know and don't miss our gallery on highlights from the Diamond Jubilee Weekend below.

We've just come through a brutal election that seems to have lasted at least two years.
An election deemed as, "... the most important election of our lifetime," by the Rev. Franklin Graham on the billygraham.org website.
"Whomever we elect will take the helm of a nation that has grown increasingly hostile and intolerant of the very foundation and principles upon which it was so nobly founded—the Christian faith and biblical values," Graham said in a September 2016 article.
There is something about working in the garden on a sunny winter day: it clears debris from both the perennial bed and the gardener's head. There is clarity to the winter landscape that is quite different than any other season. On a clear day, the sky is a true blue, you can see all the birds flitting about the leafless trees.
Yes, I have a reading season, and each year the season gets a little longer as I reject television and radio listening more and more. The current state of our news cycle has helped push me back into books and this year I came across four titles that I particularly liked because they deepened my understanding of food and farming.
"First Bite: How We Learn to Eat"
For as long as I could remember, I was a nail-biter. Like the compulsive, bite-down-until-they-bleed kind.
I know, it's a dirty, disgusting habit. You don't have to tell me.
In middle school, my older brother endowed me with the timeless wisdom, "Boys don't like girls who bite their nails."
Thanks, brother. Nice pep talk.
Graduating with a journalism degree in 2016 can leave one feeling fearful of the future. After all, journalism is a notoriously hard career to break into due to the industry's current transition from print to online platforms.
So when you land a position at a respected news organization like the Grant County News, it certainly makes the countless hours of hard work feel worthwhile.
Amassing a good set of gardening tools usually takes a while and the holiday season, with various traditions of gift giving, is a perfect time to help gardeners achieve that goal. Good tools don't come cheap but if you buy right the first time the investment pays off in the life of the tool and the efficiency of the job. The right tool often means less time spent on tackling the chore.
Often we associate environmental topics with spring time, but you can be environmentally friendly any time of the year. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, household waste increases by about 25 percent in the United States. The holidays are a great time to reduce your waste and get young people interested in the environment.
Here are some ways you and your children can reduce your impact on the environment while still enjoying the season and showing loved ones that you care.
I read with interest recent editorials from various newspapers stating it is too difficult to vote in Kentucky and that the Commonwealth should pass a law allowing "early voting" to increase the number of participants in our state and federal elections. I am always supportive of increased voter turnout; early voting is not the answer.

(Edited press release)
As 2009 begins, three Maryland state legislators are joining forces to recognize a Maryland's sports visionary who passed away earlier this year.
Sandy Rosenberg and Sen. Thomas "Mac" Middleton, chairman of the senate finance committee, have introduced joint House and Senate resolutions to honor the late national sportscaster, Thoroughbred horse breeder, and Maryland resident Jim McKay.
Rosenberg's resolution is being co-sponsored by Sheila Hixson, chairman of the House ways and means committee. McKay passed away in June.
The resolutions, filed in both the House and Senate, urge the board of the Maryland Million to incorporate McKay's name into the organization's annual race of Maryland-sired horses. Called the "Maryland Million," the race is held annually at Laurel Park and was founded McKay and his wife, Margaret McManus, 23 years ago.
"I cannot think of a better way to honor a person who took so much pride in his home state--Maryland," said Rosenberg, who initiated the idea. "I grew up with Jim McKay and followed his career from a reporter at the Baltimore Sun to the voice of ABC's Wide World of Sports. I am humbled to have the opportunity to recognize this great Marylander and his legacy."
Middleton, who is also chairman of the senate finance committee that handles racing issues, pre-filed his bill, Senate Joint Resolution 2. The bill is expected to receive a hearing in the Senate committee Jan. 22.
"It's a real testament to the idea of one special Marylander that 22 other states have created special racing days for state-bred or state-sired horses since the inception of the Maryland Million," said Middleton.
The House resolution was filed yesterday. "It's just our small way of saying 'Thank you for what you did for Maryland,'" said Rosenberg.

Words from withbarbara by Barb Lustgarten-Evoy

Dear Barbara

I have an 11-year-old daughter who is devastated right now. She and her best friend of the last two years had a fight last week and her friend refuses to talk to her. The other girl seems to have moved on past our little girl and is not only not accepting any conversation, she has completely shut our daughter of her world. Unfortunately, that includes all their friends as well, leaving our child without any friends at all.

What do I say? How we do we handle this? I can't say that it will get better soon because she won't believe it. She sulks every day and comes home from school and goes straight to her room. We tell her to ignore the mean stuff she sees online but she keeps going back to it. What can we do to help?

Signed: Please Help us to Help Her!

Dear Help

I am so sorry when I hear these stories, knowing that somewhere a little girl is crying herself to sleep over having lost a relationship that once meant a great deal to her.

Two weeks ago I used a quote that had been in an article about Amanda Todd suggesting that to tell a child to turn off (and to expect it to be done) social media is highly unlikely and far more challenging than you might imagine. It may seem like she is punishing herself, but it's simply her way of staying connected to her 'old world'; even if just a little bit.

You are better off to try and distract her than to tell her how to feel and to think. I suggest that you refrain from insulting her friend because even though you see her hurting your baby, she still matters to your daughter. Remember hearing that the difference between love and hate is a very fine line? Well I was told, that the real opposite to love is actually indifference and that as long as she is still feeling and still crying, she is still invested to some degree in this relationship.

Consider taking her out for walks, doing crafts, baking and/or styling her hair. Maybe pick a film to watch together and/or go out for a cookie. But do something with her and do it more than once.

By doing these kinds of activities, you will be reinforcing your own love and commitment (without the speeches they tend to ignore at this age!) while simultaneously helping her to rebuild some lost strength and confidence. You may speak to the school to ensure that they are aware of the current situation and not trying to force the old relationship.

Before long, she will bring home a new friend and this will be a long lost memory, the likes of which most of us can still recall.

Occupy LA activists are planning to repeat their sidewalk chalking protest at Thursday night's Downtown Art Walk, but say they are committed to a peaceful event.
The Los Angeles Times reports ( http://lat.ms/QHamkr ) police will be out in force to monitor the monthly festival of art and food that draws about 38,000 people.
More than 15 people were arrested at last month's event when police tried to break up the chalking activists and violence broke out. Officers were pelted with bottles and rocks and fired rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. Four officers were injured.
Chalking, drawing on surfaces with chalk, is considered vandalism and is illegal in Los Angeles.
Art Walk organizers and city officials say they are trying to promote a peaceful event this time.

Thousands of local car owners, driving recalled Toyotas, are calling or getting into local dealerships to get the repair for defective gas pedals that may become stuck or slow.
At Mossy Toyota in Pacific Beach, employees answered phone calls from concerned customers. Staff said they had enough parts to repair about 50 cars Wednesday and that they'll keep getting shipments every day until all repairs are made.
Sarah Goehring got to the dealership quickly for the repair. "With the extra cautionary recommendation from the Department of Transportation and those different things, it just prompted me to come in," Goehring said. " I have two little kids that ride in the back seat every day so I just couldn't take any chances."
Toyota for the first time gave an estimate of the costs of the global gas-pedal recall Thursday. The $2 billion total represents $1.1 billion for repairs and $770 million to $880 million in lost sales.
Employees at Mossy Toyota said customers that are having problems or are very concerned would be handled first.
"Call us we'll make an appointment and get the car in, inspect the pedal but make sure that it's affected because remember, not all vehicles are affected," said Dale Snow with Mossy Toyota.
Toyota dealerships all over the country are adding a small metal plate to gas pedals in more than two million affected models. The company says the fix will ease friction, stop the pedal from sticking and stop cars from accelerating after the drivers' foot is lifted off the gas.
The repair, expected to take about 30 minutes, will mean extended hours at Kearny Mesa Toyota.
"We're only able to book so many a day. We certainly are interested in taking care of as many customers as we can, as fast as we can," said Brian Beerman. "But we want to do this right."
The latest recall involves 2009-10 RAV4 crossovers, 2009-10 Corollas, 2009-10 Matrix hatchbacks, 2005-10 Avalons, 2007-10 Camrys, 2010 Highlander crossovers, 2007-10 Tundra pickups and 2008-10 Sequoia SUVs.
Once mechanics repair customer cars at Mossy Toyota, they'll fix the ones on the lot. That will allow them to start selling the cars again.
Toyota is expecting to lose 100,000 in vehicle sales because of the recall fallout -- 80,000 of them in North America.
Then, to add to the confusion for car owners and the woes of Toyota, the U.S. Transportation Department said Thursday it has opened an investigation into brake problems in the 2010 model year Prius. Toyota acknowledged that is has begun fixing problems with the brakes in its prized Prius, but remains undecided about a recall.

The problem is that you need to turn the cellulose into simple sugars before you can ferment it into ethanol... but termites have managed the trick for gadzillions of years, so why not figure out exactly what magic takes place in their guts and replicate it on an industrial scale? Some white coats at Caltech have taken a big step in that process, performing a vast genomic study of the microbes in Nasutitermes termites' guts and identifying more than a thousand potentially useful enzymes. Hooray, soon we'll all be running 16:1 compression alky-burners! [MIT]
