OCEANSIDE: A two-alarm fire destroyed a carport at a multiunit apartment complex early yesterday, destroying five cars and a storage building.
The blaze at Summit By the Lake apartments on Calle las Positas near Calle Montecito started about 1:30 a.m. and was under control 30 minutes later, said Oceanside fire Battalion Chief Bob Cotton.
Some residents from two nearby buildings were evacuated as firefighters battled the flames that also destroyed property stored in the carport and partially melted six gas meters, Cotton said.
An SUV parked about 30 feet away also was damaged by the heat, which melted the plastic and rubber on one side, including the headlights and a side-view mirror.
Dena Phillips said she and her husband saw the flames shoot several feet into the air and could hear the car tires popping.
A hazardous materials team was called because the storage building contained paint and paint thinners. Tests showed there was no contamination, Cotton said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. A damage estimate was not available and no one was hurt.

Lifeguards post rescues; high surf alert continues
SAN DIEGO: Yesterday's warm weather and big waves lured many swimmers and surfers to the ocean. About a dozen of them wound up in dangerous situations, prompting lifeguards to intervene.
Most rescues involved San Diego lifeguards pulling swimmers from the ocean. Among them was the dramatic rescue of a woman who was close to being pulled into "The Hole," a dangerous section at La Jolla Cove, said Lifeguard Service Lt. Andy Lerum.
At Sunset Cliffs, a fully dressed man jumped into the ocean and surfers pulled the man to safety. Paramedics treated the man, who had bloody feet, was vomiting and complained of back pain, Lerum said.
The National Weather Service has issued a high-surf advisory until 4 p.m. today, with a large west-northwest swell expected to move into coastal waters late last night and early this morning. Waves of 5 feet to 8 feet with sets up to 10 feet are expected on beaches south of Del Mar through today.
Lifeguards urged people to avoid rocky reefs, beaches without lifeguards, and any attempt by inexperienced swimmers or surfers to venture into the water.
"People should be aware of the power of the waves and the riptide," Lerum said.

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. - A tropical depression formed Monday night off the coast of Florida and is poised to become the first tropical storm of the 2014 hurricane season.
The depression was located a little more than 130 miles north-northeast of Miami with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph. It was moving southwest at 2 mph.

"So really it is a slow mover, but already we're starting to feel some of those impacts," Local 10 meteorologist Betty Davis said.
Computer models have it drifting towards the east coast of Florida before taking a turn to the northeast.
Local 10 hurricane specialist Max Mayfield said it "could become a very strong storm, possibly even a hurricane," as it gets closer to the Carolinas.
Although the system is not directly expected to impact South Florida, it will likely bring heavy rain to the region.
"We cannot rule out some pockets of heavier rainfall here," Davis said.

Cousins land trespass conviction after 'I'll rob you again' jibe
A MACROOM man and his cousin have been convicted of trespassing after he allegedly told a man that he "robbed his house, got away with it, and will rob him again."
Daniel O'Driscoll (18) of 2 Barrack Lane, and his cousin Tommy O'Driscoll (20) of 21 Dan Corkery Place, Macroom appeared in the town's District Court charged with trespassing onto another house in Dan Corkery Place on the night of Friday, September 7 2012.
Judge James McNulty heard the testimony of Patrick Buckley who told the court that he was in his home watching the Late Late Show with two friends when Tommy O'Driscoll knocked on his door. Mr Buckley answered, with the security chain in place on the door, and believed that Tommy O'Driscoll was on his own. It was then, he said, that Daniel O'Driscoll appeared with two dogs. Mr Buckley claimed that Daniel O'Driscoll shouted "I robbed your house and got away with it and I'll do it again."
He said that his friend also went to the door and was also verbally abused by the men. They closed the door, but the shouting and banging continued for a "good five to seven minutes," Mr Buckley said. He then called the gardai.
Defence solicitor Dan Murphy put it to Mr Buckley that three garda statements and Daniel O'Driscoll's own statement said that he had only one dog, but Mr Buckley insisted that he saw two.
Mr Murphy said that was innocent of wrong doing, and was only on the premises to drag away Tommy, who was drunk. He said that Daniel denies the comments attributed to him and that Tommy was too drunk at the time to remember the incident.
Garda O'Sullivan, who was called to the scene on the night, also took the stand and said that he only saw Daniel O'Driscoll with one dog, and that he left the scene peacefully, while Tommy was taken into custody.
In his testimony Daniel O'Driscoll said that he was sober on the night, had only one dog, and only entered Mr Buckley's premises to retrieve his cousin. He said that he was currently serving a suspended sentence and was staying out of trouble to avoid activating that sentence.
However, Judge McNulty convicted both men, and said that the number of dogs at the scene was insignificant.
Tommy O'Driscoll will appear in court again in April where the judge will consider a report on his suitability for community service.
"The most important thing a court can do is endeavour to be fair," Judge McNulty said when sentencing Daniel O'Driscoll. "It is not that long after the Circuit Court was persuaded to suspend his sentence and only eight months later he is out and about misbehaving."
"He wasn't the principal offender, and was sober, but the court is satisfied that he played a part in putting Mr Buckley and the people in his house in fear. I can imagine their terror and fright," he said.
Daniel O'Driscoll was given a conditional discharge, on the condition that he is on good behaviour for three years and stays away from and avoids contact with Patrick Buckley. He was also ordered to enter into a peace bond of €1,000, with €250 to be paid up front in cash.
"He can appeal, but if I were Daniel I wouldn't go back to the Circuit Court in a hurry," Judge McNulty concluded.

Schuylkill man, facing homicide count, charged in Carbon County
A Schuylkill County man, facing a homicide charge, was arrested by police in Carbon County at the county prison.
Daniel William Dull, 26, of Orwigsburg, was arrested by Nesquehoning Police Chief Sean Smith at the county prison and charged with failure to comply with registration requirements, under Megan's Law.
Dull is being held at the county prison on homicide and related counts filed by state police at Schuylkill Haven, in the death of a Schuylkill County man in May 2012.
Dull and Keith Allen Reber, 49, of Schuylkill Haven, were charged with tying Bryan Robert Smith, 26, of Orwigsburg, to a tree for 20 hours in extreme heat. Smith's body was found in a secluded area on the property of Reber. The body was found after Reber and Dull provided police with the location.
Smith filed the failure to register count after receiving information from the Schuylkill County Adult Probation office that Dull refused to sign registration forms incident to an act that took effect in December 2012. Dull was previously convicted of corruption of minors and placed on probation which runs through April 2015.
The Adam Walsh Act was passed by the state legislature which changed registration requirements in Megan's Law. Prior to the enactment of the new act Dull was not required to register as a sexual offender. However, since the act was passed, and its conditions are retroactive Dull is now required to register as a sexual offender.
Smith was informed by the probation office that Dull refused to sign the forms for his probation officer until he spoke with his attorney. The probation officer later notified Smith that Dull's attorney had sent a letter to him advising him he had to sign the registration forms, but Dull still refused.
On April 23 Smith met with Dull at the county prison and again advised him he had to register and showed him a copy of the letter his attorney mailed to him and the Schuylkill County probation office advising him he had to register.
Dull again refused to sign the forms and Smith filed the charge. Dull was arraigned before District Judge Casimir Kosciolek, of Lansford, and bail set at $2,000 straight cash. Dull was then returned to the county prison.
In addition to the homicide charge, Dull is also charged with unlawful restraint, kidnapping, aggravated and simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, and criminal conspiracy-to commit homicide.
Because of the homicide count no bail was set. Dull is in the Carbon prison to be separated from his co-defendant, Reber, who is in the Schuylkill County prison.

I always wondered why windows mobile makes you use the task manager to close anything.
Does anyone know?
They make you use task manager as it's designed badly. It should have a nice easy to select way of closing down an application. Not scrolling through a ton of menus to find an application.
Don't know about standard, but in their touchscreen version you can install third party (often free, and very tiny in RAM usage) that closes the applications when the 'X' is pressed.
I'm not sure there's much point in using a Windows Mobile based phone if it doesn't have Office Mobile apps. This sort of phone, price-point and form factor would probably have been best suited to something a lot snappier like a Symbian Series 40 OS, cf. Nokia 6300.
Bit of a miss there!
The software was designed by Microsoft, a company owned by Bill. There's no other reason.
There was a movie made about killing Bill. In fact, there were 2 movies made about killing Bill.

audio control series II eqx will not power up
I have an audio control eqx series II that for some reason or another will not power up . Checked all connections to unit 12v ground and remote turn on wires all seem to be good . I would like to fix this unit myself. Anyone have a wiring schematic or some insight into what I should check on the circuit board? I am a newbie with electronic repair.
Send it to Audio Control they have reasonable rates.
The power supply is not complicated, but if your new it will be up hill to tech out.
I have seen bad caps cause it not operate, I have seen these get Reversed polarity put to them and this causes a whole bunch of possible failures. ( burnt traces, to blown up transistors and chips)
I have seen the power transformers short out on these a lot, and thats a Audio control only part, so you end up going to them for that part for sure.
My friend has one now that needs a transformer. These also use a 5 pin LM series switch mode control chip this also takes a dive from time to time depending on how it was treated.
Maybe some one here has a schematic, but I would not count on it. Look them up on the web and give them a call, maybe they will release you a document. After all the thing is nowhere near new
if you havent pulled the power plug out, i'd do that as soon as possible...i had an eqx that started sending out voltage through the remote wire...at that time i had it hooked up to the cars switched 12v ,instead of the radios remote out.....and couldnt turn my car off !!!
I am not sure about this, but if you remove the cover I think you will find a fuse inside.
Unless, your calling all the vaporized circuit traces I have seen inside them fuses ??? lol lol lol

An incident in which passengers were kicked off two TTC buses so the vehicles could be rerouted to pick up a high school football team coached by Mayor Rob Ford has damaged the reputation of the TTC, says the head of the transit service.
TTC CEO Andy Byford told his commissioners via email on Saturday that he plans to follow up with both Toronto Police and the Mayor's office.
"The most unfortunate thing about this episode is the damage done to our reputation after more than a year of careful, painstaking steps to improve it," Mr. Byford said in the email note, which was released along with a statement from the TTC on Sunday. "I am not happy about that and I am certainly not happy that fare paying customers were inconvenienced under these circumstances."
On Thursday, Mr. Ford's charges from Don Bosco Catholic Secondary were scooped up by a TTC bus following a playoff game against Father Henry Carr, which was unexpectedly cut short following a verbal altercation between a coach and a referee, and Mayor Ford's Eagles leading 35-0. Toronto Police, reportedly trying to avoid a potentially escalating conflict, requested a TTC bus to gather Mr. Ford's team.
Two buses were ultimately sent to gather Mayor Ford's players because the first had difficulty locating the school.
Riders on the Finch West 36 and Martin Grove 46 routes were deserted, leading city councillor Peter Milczyn to publicly question the contentious decision to abandon transit routes for the Mayor's football team, apparently stranded in the rain because their game had ended well before a scheduled pickup.
The TTC issued a formal statement on the matter Sunday, confirming the organization's Transit Control Centre acted on a request made by the Toronto Police Service. "Given the urgency of the police request, operations personnel at the TTC made the decision to utilize buses from nearby routes to meet the request as quickly as possible," read the statement, which also noted that such "shelter buses" are ideally sent from a station or garage as not to impact regular service.
TTC spokesman Brad Ross confirmed that Mayor Ford had left a voicemail for Mr. Byford concerning the bus arrival, but insisted the message was an inquiry on the status of the buses, and that no demand was made of Mr. Byford.
In the Saturday e-mail, Mr. Byford said that he "had no idea that two buses were used nor that customers were inconvenienced."
Mr. Ford had drawn flak well before the bus fiasco came to light, after missing part of Thursday's council meeting to coach the Eagles at Father Henry Carr in Etobicoke.
Reiterating the TTC's stance that Mr. Ford did not pull any strings to have the buses taken off their regular routes, John Yan, a spokesman with the Toronto Catholic District School Board, confirmed it was the Don Bosco principal, Ugo Rossi, who asked police to call for a bus due to the inclement weather.
"There is no preferential treatment," Mr. Yan said.

Great design = Orange colour would be excellent for those foggy mornings!
Hey All,
I have attached the ECL & Mobil Logos for use on the Jersey Design
Great Jerseys!
HI All,
I tell a lie, I can't actually claim this one myself ....
She's a better artist than I am.
"I have a cunning plan"... Baldrick
Looks pretty good ... nothing against the ECL logo Ben, but that big patch of yellow on the back pocket seems to clash with the other colours. I'm still preferring the first design I'm afraid.
Really appreciate your input Conga but I'm with Perry on this one I prefer the first one.
And just some food for thought - maybe the only votes that should be accepted at the meeting regarding preferred jersey design should be from those who intend to buy a jersey.

The Smart Car Wash to Hold Two News Events to Celebrate its Official Opening: Free Car Washes for Vets on Veteran's Day & Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Friday
Nov 09, 2010, 08:30 ET from The Smart Car Wash
WOODBRIDGE, Va., Nov. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- On schedule to become the world's first full-service car wash with US Green Building Council's LEED Certification, The Smart Car Wash at 13589 Minnieville Road near the Smoketown Shopping Plaza in Woodbridge, VA, will hold two news events this week to celebrate its official opening.
Besides creating double-digit new jobs in Prince William County, The Smart Car Wash is the most advanced, eco-friendly car wash in the nation and has already been featured in media all over the USA for its focus on both precision car care and commitment to preserving the environment.
NOVEMBER 11, 2010 (Veteran's Day)
The Smart Car Wash shifts its focus from Green to Red, White and Blue. This Veterans' Day, The Smart Car Wash will provide FREE XPress Exterior Plus car washes for active duty military and vets, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. In addition to the "eco" angle, it is a good opportunity to show how some local businesses are paying tribute to vets on Veteran's Day. The Dunkin Donuts located next to the car wash is offering free coffee to vets.
- Kirk McEwen & Mike O'Meara, from 105.9 FM/The Edge's Morning Show will appear at The Smart Car Wash from noon to 2 p.m. on November 11th. Listeners to the program throughout the week could win a $100 gift card or an Unlimited Monthly Wash Pass that includes 3 months of unlimited platinum full services washes.
Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, 11 am to 12 pm, 13589 Minnieville Road, Woodbridge, VA 22192. There will be a brief walking tour of the facility to highlight the eco-friendly building and equipment features. Site offers a number of visual/photo opportunities. Supervisor John Jenkins, Prince William County NEABSCO District, and representatives from Congressman Gerry Connolly's office, and the Chamber of Commerce, will make brief remarks.
- The Smart Car Wash has set in motion a new generation of eco-friendly car wash receiving global attention. Delivering quality auto cleaning at affordable prices, the Smart Car Wash provides both Green and Good Value.
- Since its groundbreaking ceremonies in December 2009, The Smart Car Wash has been discussed in more than 700 articles in print and online, including its profile as a Trendsetter in WashTrends Magazine and the cover story in Professional Car Wash & Detail Magazine. It has even been lauded in the Congressional Record!
- The Smart Car Wash will make global history as the first full-service car wash to achieve LEED certification status from the US Green Building Council. While many in the car wash industry have added "green" features to their facilities, this is the first full-service wash designed from the onset for sustainability.
- Nearly 30 percent of The Smart Car Wash was built using recycled materials, and 50% of the materials were sourced locally to reduce pollution during transportation. Part of its energy-efficient design includes the utilization of natural light with the help of skylights and big windows. The car-washing equipment also uses air compressors instead of the conventional hydraulic devices which is more energy efficient and eliminates the possibility of hydraulic fluid spillage.
- The building's roof is slanted inward to allow rainwater to be collected, and used, for future car washes. The facility also reclaims and reuses more than 90 percent of used car wash water. The used water goes through an innovative US Navy-designed water pump that purifies the water for reuse through a process called reverse osmosis. It is the same equipment used on U.S. submarines.
- Most of its equipment uses Veriable Frequency Drive (VFD) technology to reduce power consumption by 50%. VFD devices have been successfully used globally. Carwash chemicals that are bio-friendly are used at The Smart Car Wash.
- The Smart Car Wash's equipment uses 100 gallons of water less than the average person uses when they wash their car in their driveway. These water conservation efforts are not only eco-friendly, they allow them to keep service costs low.

Delaware highway officials say a portable road-message sign was hacked to read "Live nudes ahead" instead of advising motorists about a coming road closure near Greenville.
Department of Transportation spokeswoman Sandy Roumillat says the computerized sign is password-protected, but the contractor that owns the sign was using a password that was easy for his staff to remember, and apparently easy to guess. Roumillat says the password will be reset.
The message on the sign was discovered early Friday.

Planning to put money aside for your new baby's future? Depending on the result of Thursday's election the number of days you have left to do this through a Government-backed child trust fund (CTF) could be numbered.
Child trust funds were introduced by the Labour government in 2005 to encourage parents to save for their children's future. The government provides new parents with a £250 voucher, which they can invest, tax-free, for 18 years in a shares-based or cash-based account. A further £250 is provided when the child turns seven but in the meantime parents, grandparents or others can top up the account with up to an additional £1,200 a year.
However, Labour is the only major party that has pledged to keep the child trust fund if it wins the election. The Conservatives plan to offer it only to the poorest third of families while the Liberal Democrats have said they will do away with it.
Child trust fund providers and many other campaigners are opposed to the abolition, arguing CTFs encourage all sectors of society to save when they might not otherwise do so. "The child trust fund is the most successful financial initiative we've ever had in this country," says David White of the Children's Mututal, a leading CTF provider. "And it's not only the well-off who invest more than the voucher. Our figures show that 30% of households with an income of £19,000 or under typically save an additional £19 a month for their child via CTFs."
However, despite the choice of funds and savings accounts available through a CTF, the vast majority of new parents opt for the default stakeholder option. If you haven't invested your voucher after a year, the Revenue will put it into a fund that is mainly invested in shares, although the money is moved into less risky and less expensive investments as time goes on.
While the stakeholder approach might sound sensible, a new survey from Money Management magazine reveals that many parents who have invested their money in a stakeholder account over the last five years would have done better to have put that money straight into stocks and shares outside of a CTF.
Its survey shows that on an initial investment of £250, the best performing stakeholder child trust funds over five years are F&C and Selftrade, which have produced returns of £346 and £342 over five years through index tracking funds. The returns equate to annual growth rates of 6.7% and 6.5% respectively, which is not bad especially when you compare it to recent returns on cash accounts.
However, similar sums invested in the FTSE-100 would have returned £353, and in the FTSE All Share £356.
So, with poor comparative returns on many funds, coupled with uncertainty over their future, should you bother with a child trust fund at all?
As the money is free it would be a shame to waste it, and there are non-stakeholder options that have performed better. A parent who invested the voucher in the Pacific Assets Trust fund with F&C five years ago would now be looking at £558 – a growth of 123% – or £425 if they had put the money into the Gartmore European Selected Opportunities fund via the Children's Mutual, according to data provider Moneyfacts.
However, the higher-risk approach could have made things worse: parents who invested in F&C's Active Capital Trust would now have a fund of £129.
For the entirely risk-averse investor, the safest bet would be to go for a cash child trust fund, where returns have not exactly been thrilling but are risk-free. The best result has been from the Hanley Economic building society, where £250 invested in April 2005 has produced £88 interest, giving a total value of £338.
The expert's view
Mark Dampier, an investment adviser atHargreaves Lansdown, is not surprised by the Money Management survey as he believes the stakeholder option is a waste of time. Instead, he suggests parents invest the £250 voucher in a high-risk equity fund but instead of topping it up they should put any additional money they have into a unit or investment trust savings plan outside of a CTF. "This will give parents a lot more flexibility to take out the money before the child reaches 18 if they wish and to top up with more than £1,200 a year if they wish," he says.
He suggests parents look at funds, both in and out of the CTF, that invest in India in particular, and China. For a more global spread, he points to a fund like Aberdeen's Global Emerging Market Fund, where he has kept his son's money for the last 20 years.

One woman prepared for dinner, ordering a large pepperoni pizza, a liter of Pepsi, and $5,000 from Dominos; well, minus the $5,000. It didn't really matter. They delivered the cash anyway.
California resident Selena Avalos was excited to chow down on some hot and cheesy goodness from her local Dominos. Unfortunately, she'd have to skip dinner that night as the only thing inside her pizza box was $5,000.
Seeing the huge wad of cash, Selena knew she had to return it. With such a large amount, the stacks of bills couldn't have been anything but the restaurant's nightly deposit. They'd be missing it, right? Wrong. The saintly woman called the store, leaving a voicemail with her information on their machine. No one called her back … for three whole days.
"Wouldn't they be thinking, "oh, where did that money go?'," Avalos wondered. "Right away, or maybe the next day. But three days later, still nothing… that's crazy."
Still 100% determined to return the $5,000, Selena enlisted the help of a California news station. Surely their presence would guarantee a response. Surprisingly enough, her plan worked! Selena was able to get in touch with her store's local headquarters.
Completely impressed with Selena's honesty, they awarded complimentary slices, breadsticks, desserts, anything she wanted for the next 12 months, totally for free. The added bonus that came from the accidental delivery? One week of paid vacation. Apparently, the woman's boss thought her good deed deserved some recognition as well.
Selena definitely won't be skipping dinner for quite awhile.
Think this was an unbelievable story? SHARE her story with your friends.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
A friend is being charged with kidnapping and robbery. The facts are he went to another city to do some side work with a plumber. The verbal agreement was for reimbursement of travel expenses, and $200 per day of work. My friend went to work for this individual twice. The first time he bought a train ticket ($60) and worked two days (should have gotten $460) and came home with $400. The second time, he worked 3 days, and this time the guy didnt want to pay him at all because of an argument. My friend foolishly made the man take him to his ATM and withdraw $600 for his 3 days of work. I say he "made" him by threatening to beat him up, there were no weapons involved. The city this occurred in has filed these charges. This friend has no money for an attorney so will likely be represented by public defender. He is currently in custody in a different county jail, but about to be sent to the other city for arraignment on this complaint, as there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest. My main question is, if I can convince his parents to hire an attorney, rather than wait to be appointed a public defender, is is possible provosts counsel can get these charges reduced/dropped beforehand so that my friend does not need to be sent from one jail to another, and be released on his own recognizance? Or would it be wise just to wait?
2 Answers from Attorneys
Anything is possible, but what you describe sounds implausible. If your account is accurate, then your friend is guilty as charged. Since there are apparently also serious charges pending against him in another case, I doubt the D.A. would agree to any sort of deal that would let him out unless he posts a substantial bond. The court cannot order the charges reduced or dropped unless the D.A. fails to justify them at the preliminary hearing. I very much doubt that will happen.
There is probably very little an attorney can do at this point to get the charges reduced or dismissed before arraignment. If his parents have the money probably the best thing they can do at this point is bail your friend out. The bail can be posted in the county where he is incarcerated and he will be released when he completes his current responsibilities. Then he can report in court for the arraignment on the new charges.

There's no place like Goa. There's a sense of revelry, merriment and abandon in the air that is almost sinful. Eating, drinking, singing, and dancing are what Goans love to do, and their conviviality is infectious. The celebrations reach fever pitch at Carnival and Christmas; almost every little hamlet has its own little temple or church with its very own feasting and festivities. In fact, there seems to be a party going on in Goa all through the year. Many pubs and cafes have live bands playing on weeknights and countless shacks on the beaches of Goa resonate with classic international music.

Dear Readers: Siempre, the wisest words that appear in this column come from ustedes, y the following two cartas prove this maxim. The first one addresses my year-end column, in which a working-class gabacho insisted his people apapachan a Mexicans mucho:
Dear Mexican: Half-Mexican here. I was fortunate enough to catch your column while I was visiting for the holidays. I have a comment in regards to [the gabacho whose letter was signed] Sick of All of You. He said, "No other country baby-sits Americans the way Americans baby-sit Mexicans." I would have to disagree. I've been living in Spain for the past seven months as an English teacher, and he is greatly mistaken. All of Europe—and practically the entire world—caters to Americans. The international business language is English. Almost all signs are posted in the native language of the country and English. I'm ashamed that our country sees it as a burden to learn or tolerate another language. A majority of the world speaks English as their second language in order to cater to the American tourists and business industry. I just wanted to share this from my foreign-living experience. The world caters to us, the U.S.; I think we can spare a few bus-stop translations.
Life In the Afternoon
The following letter is a bit more critical, concerning a "Best of" I ran for the Jan. 7 edición of my column, in which a white woman wants to calm down her wab paramour:
Dear Mexican: I couldn't believe the advice you gave Enamorada Gabacha: "Nothing says I love you, nothing says, 'Welcome to America' like an old-school blowjob." Maybe so, but "an old-school blowjob" is also an excellent way of spreading STDs. To be sure, transmitting HIV through oral sex is rather rare—but it has been known to happen. However, syphilis and gonorrhea are different stories. Gonorrhea, I might add, is particularly worrisome because certain strains of this bacteria are becoming increasingly immune to all known antibiotics. It's extremely irresponsible to advise an "old-school blowjob" without also advising old-school protection, such as condoms.
Trojan Travieso
Well, DUH. But Enamorada Gabacha was already seriously involved with her hombre—this wasn't a one-night stand or a midnight run to the border. I'd assume and hope anyone who gets intimately involved with a person will first have a discussion about each other's sex life before doing the deed, up to and including sharing STD-test results—but if I put in a public-service announcement like that, I'd be treading on the terrain of Savage Love. And I don't want that mariposa messing with my pesos. . . .
And now, a question:
Dear Mexican: I was under the impression that Mexico actually had a LARGER middle class than most Latin American nations, consisting of doctors and lawyers, among all sorts of other professions. Mexico may have a far greater problem with poverty than the U.S., but compared to its southern neighbors, it's relatively bourgeois. Do you know if there is any truth to my supposition?

Dear Gabacho: You're correcto—in a way. The World Bank's 2008 country rankings on gross national income per capita list Mexico as tops in Latin America, but an IMD International survey puts Mexico as the país with the largest percentage of its population (22.1 percent) below the median income line. Taken together, these studies suggest rampant social stratification. (Número 3 on that list? Los Estados Unidos, with 17 percent of nosotros making less than the middle-class—so much for our superiority!) A 2006 BusinessWeek article estimated 40 percent of Mexicans were in the middle class, and that really isn't surprising. "All sorts of other professions?" Raza, repeat after me: MEXICO IS A NORMAL COUNTRY. Too many narco-killings, for sure, and too little social mobility, but it's firmly in the bottom rungs of the First World—and definitely no Guatemala.

Tonic Room Presents: The Third Annual
Fuckapalooza 2013 - Day 3
The New Balance, Honey & The 45's Video Release Party, Psalm One, Nathan Xander, Hosted By: Brian Babylon
Tonic Room
2447 N. Halsted
Chicago, IL, 60614
This event is 21 and over
The New Balance
Honey & the 45s is a Chicago based blues rock band featuring two female front-women. Known for its soulful sound and jazzy undertones, the band has been dubbed "The band of Chicago."
Honey & the 45s was formed in Chicago in October 2009 as an acoustic group by core members lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Kristina Cottone, and singer, violinist and saxophonist Kim Kozel. Since then, Honey and 45s unique sound has evolved by adding bassist Sean Tatum, lead guitarist Jon Gould, and drummer Jarad Kleinstein. Honey & the 45s draws from jazz and blues roots but delivers a new soulful rock sound with powerful vocals and musical grooves
Psalm One never likes to sit in one place for too long. It makes her knees hurt, and beyond the physical discomfort it stifles her. Her music mirrors these sentiments, keeping her raps as ever-changing as the scenery. A Southside Chicago native, this rookie Rhymesayer has been raising eyebrows since 2002, with her self-released debut LP Bio:Chemistry. Released while Psalm was studying Chemistry at the University of Illinois, Bio:Chemistry was well received and served as a resume of sorts after graduating and returning home to Chicago later that year. After a powerful performance on the 2003 Nacrobats release Always (Birthwrite), Psalm went back to the lab with Chicago producer Overflo.
In 2004, bridging the gap between her previous work and her forthcoming album, she released Bio:Chemistry II: Esters and Essays (Birthwrite). It was a re-release of her 2002 debut, plus 5 unreleased tracks, repackaged and remastered. While staying diligent in the studio, her tour schedule began to become equally as busy performing on Warped Tour Code of the Cutz stage, the annual Scribble Jam Festival and B-Girl Be Summit in Minneapolis, as well as, sharing the stage with: 50 Cent, Slick Rick, Atmosphere, MF Doom, De La Soul, Camp Lo, Murs, Jean Grae, Royce tha 5'9, Diverse, Blueprint, Brother Ali, Masta Ace, Prince Paul, Casual of Heiroglyphics and many more. In 2005 she was named as on of URB's Next 100 and featured "as next to blow up" in such publications as: Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times and The Onion which only added fuel to her ever-glowing fire.
"On The Fear, Nathan Xander takes a bold and reaching step to transform himself from a solo folk singer into a main stage commodity. The rich textures of his voice power through the chords, be it acoustic or electric, and conjure memories of smoke and sawdust. At its core, The Fear is roots rock and a big chunk of Americana. This album is honest and filled with heart, fear, and ultimately faith." - Deli Magazine

AVF/AVF in Spine - does anyone here have this?

Re: AVF/AVF in Spine - does anyone here have this?
THanks, Feelbad - I actually posted in the spinal cord disorders page, but wanted to change my post name (I didn't realize you couldn't hide your user name & my old one is not good to use...since it is my actual name). I've done a lot of research, and have copies of all of my MRI films and reports, but the one thing I can't find anywhere is someone telling me what their progressive symptoms are. I can find scientific/nuerological reports and literature, but this is coming from the DR, not the patient, and I want to hear from other people with this type of condition. I know what I am feeling, but I don't always know how to describe it, it doesn't seem so cut and dry as the medical profession would like for it to be. Like, am I really feeling muscle weakness? What did it feel like to other people? Did you or anyone else have the cramps, aches, numb-but-not feelings? Did you have back pain; if so what was it like? Those kind of things.
To answer your question, my lesion is in the dura matter and has caused flow voids and a swollen conus medullaris (sp). To date, no bowel or bladder disfunction, but my reg. doctor is worried about that. It feels just a little spooky to go through this without knowing just how fast these symptoms will progress, if at all, since it seemed to be such a sudden onset. Do they even have a chance of going away? I guess it's not as bad as having it directly effect my conus equina, but whatever. My MRI's show flow voids in my thoracic spine above where the obvious lesion is at T-12, so I don't know exactly what that means just yet. I haven't found any literature on that just yet, but I'm still searching.
Any kind of description of your symptoms & progression would be wonderful to me, though - how fast everything happened, the time between diagnosis and surgery, etc. Thanks a bunch for replying, Marcia!!!

Mauricio Pochettino congratulated his Spurs players for playing with the right "style" and "philosophy" in their 2-1 defeat of Schalke ahead of their season opener against West Ham next weekend.
Goals in each half from Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado were enough to see Spurs complete their pre-season preparations with a win over Schalke, who finished third in the Bundesliga last season.
Speaking afterwards to the club's website, Pochettino said: "It was a tough game, Schalke are a very good team and we can only say congratulations to the players.
"We had some good periods in the game. We played well.
"The team is showing a lot of energy. This is our style, our philosophy and now we have a week to go until the start of the season."
New signing Eric Dier impressed at the heart of defence alongside Younes Kaboul and the Argentine was quick to praise his £4m summer addition.
Pochettino said: "Eric is still young but he has a lot of potential. He did well, we're very pleased and now we recover, one day's rest and we then train hard all week to prepare for West Ham."
The win over Jens Keller's side means Spurs are unbeaten in pre-season, with goals from Adebayor and Soldado giving the hosts 2-0 lead before former Tottenham midfielder Kevin-Prince Boating scored Schalke's consolation goal.
Tottenham started brightly and saw several chances go astray before Soldado beat the impressive Ralf Fahrmann to give Pochettino's side the lead.
On 29 minutes Erik Lamela picked out Aaron Lennon, who in turn slipped the ball into Lewis Holtby, who crossed low for Adebayor to poke home for the hosts.
Spurs were good value for their lead, though Roman Neustadter and Boateng both went close fort the Germans before half-time.
Soldado doubled Tottenham's lead in the 66th minute, following in with his head after Fahrmann saved Andros Townsend's initial shot.
Max Meyer then missed a gilt-edged chance for Schalke, before Boateng swept home first time from Dennis Aogo's left-wing cross.
Spurs: Lloris; Naughton, Kaboul (Fryers 79), Dier, Rose (Davies 46); Holtby (Ceballos 84), Bentaleb (Carroll 74); Lennon (Townsend 46), Eriksen (Sandro 67), Lamela (Kane 46); Adebayor (Soldado 46).

LIMA, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Peru's central bank on Friday slashed its growth outlook for this year to 3.1 percent from its May forecast of 3.9 percent and said it now expects the economy to expand by 4.2 percent in 2016 instead of 5.3 percent.
The central bank also widened its view of the trade deficit in 2015 and 2016 but narrowed its forecast for the current account deficit, according to a biannual report. (Reporting By Marco Aquino)

This is one of the best articles I have read by a Stereophile reviewer in a long time.
The measurements of the Allnic A-5000 DHT (serial no.24036) were performed with Stereophile's loan sample of the top-of-the-line Audio Precision SYS2722 system (see the January 2008 "As We See It," and www.ap.com). The needle of the front-panel bias switch rested on the C of the Allnic logo, which is within the limits for output-tube bias current. I didn't need to adjust it, therefore.
The voltage gain into 8 ohms for single-ended sources was both on the low side for a power amplifier, and slightly lower than specified, at 23.7dB from the 16 ohm output-transformer tap, 23.1dB from the 8 ohm tap. For balanced sources, the gain was 4.5dB lower from both taps. The unbalanced input preserved absolute polarity, as did the balanced input when it was set to pin 2 hot with the rear-panel switch. The unbalanced input's input impedance met its 100k ohms specification, dropping inconsequentially to 59k ohms at 20kHz. The balanced input impedance was 3200 ohms across the audioband, which, along with the ability to invert the XLR's hot/cold wiring, suggests that this input is transformer coupled.
The A-5000's output impedance was impressively low for a single-ended tube design even from its 16 ohm tap, where it measured 1.6 ohms at 20Hz, 1.35 ohms at 1kHz, and 1.5 ohms at 20kHz. As expected, the respective impedances were lower from the 8 ohm tap: 1, 0.8, and 0.85 ohm. As a result, the modulation of the A-5000's frequency response that results from the Ohm's Law interaction between this output impedance and the impedance of the loudspeaker was low for a transformer-coupled tube amplifier, at ±0.6dB, 8 ohm tap (fig.1, gray trace); and ±0.9dB, 16 ohm tap (fig.2, gray trace). Figs. 1 and 2 also show that while there are well-damped ultrasonic resonances at 80 and 160kHz, these are better-suppressed when the load impedance is much lower than the nominal tap value. The same thing is true for the small rise in response below the audioband.
The presence of the ultrasonic resonances results in a small degree of overshoot in the shape of the amplifier's reproduction of a 1kHz squarewave (fig.3), but the flat top of this waveform correlates with the A-5000's well-extended low frequencies. The overshoot can also be seen in the Allnic's reproduction of a 10kHz squarewave (fig.4), but commendably, there is no ringing, confirming that the resonances are well damped.
Taken with the RCA input jack shorted, the A-5000's unweighted, wideband signal/noise ratio was good rather than great, at 64.9dB (ref. 2.83V into 8 ohms). As AD noted, this was primarily due to a small amount of hum at the AC supply frequency and its odd harmonics (fig.5), most likely due to magnetic coupling between the AC and output transformers. Switching an A-weighting filter into circuit improved the S/N ratio to 76.8dB.
Allnic specifies the A-5000 DHT's single 300B tube as producing a maximum power of 10W into 8 ohms (10dBW). Fig.6, taken from the 8 ohm tap, shows how the THD+noise percentage in the amplifier's output varied with power into 8 ohms. Our normal definition of clipping is when this percentage reaches 1%; fig.6 reveals that the Allnic delivered 4.7W at 1% THD (6.7dBW). However, this graph shows that the amplifier did reach its specified power at 1.8% THD, delivering 11.5W (13.6dBW) at the point where there is a "knee" in the trace. The distortion increased more rapidly into loads lower than the nominal tap value, with just 1.6W delivered into 4 ohms at 1% THD, and 6.5W into 4 ohms at 3% THD (fig.7). The picture was identical from the 16 ohm tap (fig.8), the specified power delivered into a matched load at just less than 2% THD, and much lower levels of power available into lower impedances.
Fig.9 plots how the THD+N percentage changes with frequency at a voltage equivalent to 500mW into 8 ohms. Other than at low frequencies, where magnetic saturation in the transformer core begins to have an effect, the distortion remains remarkably even with frequency, though it does rise alarmingly as the load impedance drops below the nominal tap value. With the 8 ohm tap driving 16 ohms, the distortion lies below 0.2% over much of the audioband. The 16 ohm tap behaved similarly, though with greater distortion overall (fig.10).
Fortunately for the A-5000's sound quality, the distortion is predominantly the innocuous second harmonic in nature (fig.11, and fig.12, blue trace), though the third, fourth, and fifth harmonics increase in level as the output current increases (fig.12, red trace). Though the Allnic A-5000 developed a second-order difference product at 1kHz at 50dB (0.3%) when reproducing an equal mix of 19 and 20kHz tones at 1W into 8 ohms (fig.13), higher-order intermodulation products were relatively low in level. Some low-level AC-supply modulation can also be seen in this graph.
Given the A-5000 DHT's single-ended topology, the presence of relatively high levels of second-order distortion in its output is inevitable. But the wide frequency response, excellent squarewave reproduction, and low output impedances, even from the 16 ohm output tap, are all commendable for such a design. One caution remains: If this amplifier is not to run out of steam, it must be used with speakers having an impedance equal to or greater than that of its nominal output transformer's tap.John Atkinson
This is one of the best articles I have read by a Stereophile reviewer in a long time.
Just having these amps in the house for a test run would impart a sense of joy.

Saturday, when I got home from cake class, DH told me that my friend had called asking if I could do a last minute cake for a little girl who just lost her father, as her mother was, as I'm sure most of us would be, deep in depression. Anyway, I called my friend and left a message on the machine... you know, what does she like, how old, etc.... No return call. At church the next day, I saw my friend, who apologized for not calling back, and she gave me the details. Well, I had a cake in the freezer, so baking wasn't a problem. I had plenty of icing already made up due to my class, so that wouldn't be a problem. I asked her when she wanted it and she said this afternoon, once again, no problem. I tell her okay, I'll do the cake.
This morning, the phone rings and her kids are here for the morning (I watch her kids between the time her babysitter goes to work and my friend gets home from work), I get up and start to work on the cake. Nothing fancy, just pink and purple girly stuff. Anyway, my friend calls to let me know she's home and I tell her that the cake is done but I need to get a cake box because the cake is too tall for my carrier, so she can come and get it this afternoon and she said she'd be here by one. It is now seven p.m. and guess what I still have on my kitchen table? Did you say to yourself a pink and purple cake? Uh huh, that's right!
So not only did I waste the time I needed to practice making my roses for class, but my cake for the final class next Saturday is now wasted, and I have a cake that more than likely won't be eaten as we haven't eaten all of the cake from Sataurday.
Here's my lesson learned..... from this particular friend, whom I love dearly, I will no longer be taking orders unless paid for in advance.
I know that you are upset. I would be fuming mad. Especially since it's a friend. Like you said, she will have to pay upfront next time.
Sorry that happened to you.
If it doesn't have any fondant you can box it up and freeze it. That's the best solution I've got.... and next time you see your friend kick her butt! Just kidding, but do let her know how she put you out!
Argh! Sometimes people can be inconsiderate BUT maybe, just maybe, there is a good excuse!
Since you went through all that effort...is there a church, nursing home or day care that you could donate the cake to? Just a thought!
Did you call her? If it was for someone in a family that recently lost a loved one, maybe there was too much going on. Could they possible want it a day later?
Just my thoughts Sorry this had to happen.
If you really want to use the cake for class, and you aren't attached to the decorations you did, scrape off the icing, ice it smooth again, and use it for class. I've taken class cakes I didn't like, scraped off the icing, used a different icing and new decorations and served them for dinner parties, so the opposite program should work just as well. At least you won't have to bake again.
I would call your friend and see if the family might still want the cake. Otherwise...use it for class! Sorry this happened to you!

I feel your pain.
No one new has come on the escalation board in months.
Seems like I'm just battling against the same 5 people for the number 3 spot.
I played for a few hours today and it was a nightmare.
Horrible players who quit every other round, a server glitch that migrated me into someone else's match, etc.
It's got to the point that I'm only playing for the leaderboard and I'm starting not to see the point.

Yeah I feel you. I dominate at escalation and know how to play damn well in deathmatches. I just go on for fun now.

I remember when that score would have made you number 2 on the leaderboard.
I remember when Limit21 was number 1 with 3,000,000 and I thought 'that guy is crazy no one will play the game enough to beat his score.'
Which reminds me, there use to be a guy in the top 3 named "BigGranty" (or something like that). He dropped lower than I can see and I was wondering what his rank was now. If somebody passes him on the way up the leaderboard then I'd owe you one for letting me know what his current rank is. For a long time Limit was number 1, He was number 2, and I was number 3. I was wondering what my current rank would be if I had quit when he quit.
i agree it has gotten boring lately but it just never gets old destroying robots. like i may never get tired of the feeling.

I dont think i will ever get bored with this. I enjoy gettin as much hatemail as my mailbox can take. Running behind a teammate who keep dying and acts as a personal body guard. Or racing to heal a teammate at te very last second. Or my favorite, marking enemies that are hiding and let my teammates tear them apart. I always feel like my team can always benefit from something i do in a match. Sometime even when i sit back and heal teammates i still end up on the board at the top with like 2 kills. Then its also rewarding to havr a whirlwind spamming teammate and i see him going after a group and i pull a d*** move and use my intercooler next to him right before he whirlwinds and watch him go to town on said group. Im always finding something to do to aid my team instead of challenging myself. My teammates can always depend on me when im with them. Especially when i enter a match and the team im on is losing horribad and i help them catch up and dominate simply healing or becoming a diversion since im good at dodging as a infiltrator and scientist. And of course strategy sniping like taking larger opponents out of a fight away from a teammate getting swarmed even just from firing one charged shot to scare them off or force someone that just grabbed a recharger cuz i shoot them they have 2 choices, A. Use the recharger on the spot or B. Run and die without using it. I look for ways to anger my opponent and keep their attention off my teammates and on me and while doing so they swarm me and my team can ambush them if they are competent enough. I even get thank you mail from teammates when i save them from certain death. N of course the moments where ur dominating as a titan or destroyer and all ur teammates are sticking behind you to heal you and act as back up as u lead them into a group of raging enemies not enjoying one bit that they cant reach the easy kills cuz im in front of them all and they have to take me out first.

If February is a time to award the rare "art" of cinema, mid-July is a time to celebrate the popular favorites, the popcorn flicks, the blockbusters. The term, quite literally, describes those films that "bust the block" with lines starting at the box office ticket window and stretching around the block.
The biggest movie blockbusters of all time, in terms of sheer dollars, are "Avatar" (2009), "Titanic" (1997), "The Avengers" (2012) and "The Dark Knight" (2008). All four are from the last 15 years — but those stats can be deceiving. When you adjust for inflation, the only fair way to compare different eras, "The Dark Knight" falls to No. 29 while "The Avengers" falls to No. 26.
Which movies have truly put the most butts in the seats?

The senoir senator from Illinois will be making his Hollywood debut in Steven Soderbergh's new film "Contagion." It'll be a demanding roll for legislator, who will play the chairman of a Senate hearing alongside Laurence Fishburne.
AP reports that Durbin says he's a little nervous about his one line in the film, but jokes that all the hours on C-SPAN have prepared him for the moment.
"Contagion" is about the spread of an airborne virus that kills within days. According to IMDB, the movie is due out October 2011.
The cast also includes Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet. Also be sure to keep your eye out for special cameos from NBCChicago's Kim Vatis and Pete Sack.

Gay Iowa teen kills himself after friends 'turned on him'
Anti-gay Facebook group targeted 14-year-old Kenneth Weishuhn, who friends and family claim was always 'happy'
A gay teenager from the US state of Iowa killed himself after classmates set up a Facebook hate group and allegedly sent him death threats.
Kenneth Weishuhn, 14, from the city of Paullina, was found dead on 15 April.
His sister Kayla said his friends at South O'Brien High School began bullying him after he came out to them.
'People that were originally his friends, they kind of turned on him,' she told KTIV.
'A lot of people, they either joined in or they were too scared to say anything.'
The situation escalated when Kenneth's tormentors set up an anti-gay Facebook group, inviting his friends to join, and began calling his home with death threats.
His mother Jeannie Chambers said when she questioned him about the phone calls he 'just blew it off', so she thought everything was ok.
Chambers told KTIV she is considering legal action against Kenneth's bullies.
She said: 'I really don't want to ruin somebody else's life, or take someone else's son or daughter from them. But, I don't know what it's going to take to get it to stop.'
Friends and family of Kenneth have now made a moving tribute video on YouTube, featuring photos of the teen and insisting he was always a happy and loving person.
The school has now opened an investigation.

Good info can be found if your prepared to use the search facility. The Morocco section is an excellent travel resource.
It appears to be more than just about motorbikes, ukgser seems to be a means for the old, infirm, housebound and socially inept to communicate.
But be prepared to wade through a lot of attempted humor from a regular crowd of keyboard recluses spouting in-jokes and trying to chat up the one of the few women that frequents the forum.
Take it with a pinch of salt and you may gain something but it's becoming increasingly hard to find a "gem" amongst the "garbage"

Southwest Engines AKA Gotoengines Tried to rip me off my money Internet
I contacted this company regarding a 2.4L Mitsubishi engine. I kept checking the order status online through their online area. It kept showing awaiting tracking number I called and spoke to their sales and shipping dept. and was told they would put a 24-48 hour rush on it. After a week with no engine I called back and asked to speak to a manager. He told me he could refund my money if I wished. I told him I would prefer that. I had had to use two credit cards to pay for the engine and warranty. They sent me an email saying they had refunded my money to my cards. I received the $160.00 I have put on one credit card but didn't recieve the $1000.00 I had put on the other card. I kept calling them asking them where my $1000.00 was and they kept telling me that they had refunded it. I contacted my credit card company and they said nothing was pending. After many calls they finally told me that either the credit card company was lying or it would be there in another 2-3 days. After another week I called them again and they were very rude and said I had my money and to quit bothering them. I contacted the IL State Attorney General's office, I filed a report on internet crime with the FBI and with the FTC. I spoke with the Chief of Police in my hometown, and then I called an IL State Representative's office and he called them and told them how dim a view the state of Illinois took with companies that defraud disabled person's. Within 24 hours the money was credited to my card. I would never recommend them to anyone.
