Reporter's Notebook; Amid a Lukewarm Europe, Bush Finds a Fan in Slovakia
By ELISABETH BUMILLER
Published: February 26, 2005
Few people in President Bush's entourage seemed happier to get home from Europe late Thursday night than Mr. Bush himself, who spent his week in meetings with three of the prickliest characters in current American foreign relations -- President Jacques Chirac of France, Chancellor Gerhard Schr? of Germany and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
Unlike other American presidents, who often used trips to Europe as diversions from the scandals and politics of home, Mr. Bush spent four days in chocolate-making countries like Belgium eating his peas.
First, he had to make nice -- in his fashion -- on the American invasion of Iraq. ''The policy in the past used to be, let's just accept tyranny, for the sake of -- well, you know, cheap oil, or whatever it may be, and just hope everything would be O.K.,'' Mr. Bush said at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Tuesday. ''Well, that changed on September the 11th for our nation.''
Second, he had to bring up hard issues like Russia's backsliding on democracy in a news conference with Mr. Putin. A respite came in Slovakia, where crowds cheered Mr. Bush's talk of freedom and the country's prime minister, Mikulas Dzurinda, raved about his meeting with the American president.
''I like Bush,'' Mr. Dzurinda told American reporters over lunch on Thursday. ''You know why? Because he told me that he doesn't like to write, but he likes to speak to people, and I am the same.''
President and prime minister also bonded, Mr. Dzurinda reported, over the complications of raising girls. ''He has two daughters; I have two daughters,'' Mr. Dzurinda said. ''The older is 20, the younger 17 -- you can imagine.'' And did Mr. Bush commiserate about his party-loving twins?
Mr. Dzurinda wiped his brow with great drama and laughed. ''We share some experiences,'' he replied.
T?-?? Avec Fr? Jacques
One of the most closely watched dramas of the trip was the dinner Mr. Bush gave in Brussels on Monday night for Mr. Chirac at the 18th-century residence of the American ambassador to Belgium, Tom C. Korologos. As it turned out, the dinner was so small, only about 10 people, that Mr. Korologos was not even invited to his own home. Because it was a ''working dinner,'' which typically exclude spouses, Laura Bush had to find somewhere else to go, too.
So while the president, Mr. Chirac and a handful of aides talked about Iran and Iraq, Mr. Korologos dined with Joe Hagin, the White House deputy chief of staff, at Vincent, a red-meat restaurant with big slabs of beef and butter in the window. Their companions included White House advance people.
Talk at that dinner centered not on big-picture foreign policy and the future of Europe, but on the nuts-and-bolts that make such conversations possible between Mr. Bush and foreign leaders. Mrs. Bush, meanwhile, had dinner at La Villa Lorraine, a Brussels restaurant, with a group of women, including Anne Korologos, the wife of the ambassador, and Dominique Verkinderen, an opera singer who is married to Belgium's prime minister, Guy Verhofstadt.
At the ambassador's residence, the presidential party had filet of beef and pommes frites, otherwise known as French fries. Ms. Korologos chose them for the menu as the quintessential local dish. But when Mr. Bush referred to them at the dinner as ''French fries'' instead of ''freedom fries,'' a small bit of diplomatic history was made.
The Optimistic Existentialist
Mr. Bush prides himself on his plain-spoken English and Texas style, so he surprised an audience of Europeans on Monday in Brussels by quoting a French existentialist.
''Albert Camus said that 'Freedom is a long-distance race,''' Mr. Bush said in his opening speech about the future of the United States and Europe. ''We're in that race for the duration and there is reason for optimism.''
The full Camus quote, from ''The Fall,'' is not quite so cheery: ''I didn't know that freedom is not a reward or a decoration that is celebrated with Champagne. Nor yet a gift, a box of dainties designed to make you lick your chops. Oh, no! It's a choice, on the contrary and a long-distance race, quite solitary and very exhausting. No Champagne. No friends raising their glasses as they look at you affectionately. Alone in a forbidding room, alone in the prisoner's box before the judges, and alone to decide in face of oneself or in the face of others' judgment. At the end of all freedom is a court sentence; that's why freedom is too heavy to bear, especially when you're down with a fever, or are distressed, or love nobody.''
Home on the Heath
Transcripts of Mr. Bush's interviews with the European news media were released by the White House, but a little-known chapter about his time as a youthful shepherd in Scotland was left out of one.
''I worked there as a 14-year-old kid,'' Mr. Bush said. ''I left Texas for Scotland to work on a sheep farm. And I'm riding my bike, taking this one sheep, you know, from here to there, and a big tour bus stops. And they got off, and a woman with a Texas accent said, 'Look at the little Scottish boy.'''
''I kept my mouth shut,'' the president said.

Premier League: David Moyes tells United squad: Show everyone how good you are
Manchester United boss David Moyes says it is up to his players to prove they are better than their critics suggest.
Last Updated: 30/01/14 1:41pm
The Reds are currently experiencing their worst league season since 1989/90 - when they still ended up winning the FA Cup - and Moyes wants his squad to focus on 'putting things right' between now and May.
Moyes recently smashed the club's transfer record to purchase playmaker Juan Mata from Chelsea and, speaking in his programme notes ahead of Tuesday's Premier League match at home to Cardiff, he said: "I do believe now that we are playing for the Manchester United jersey and for pride in where we are.
"There is still a long way to go this season and by the end of it we have to have shown we are much better than many people are making us out to be.
"On the training ground and in the dressing room I see determined and committed players who are desperate to put things right.
"When I joined the club, I joined knowing I was taking over a great squad who had just finished the season as champions but I was also made very much aware that there would have to be changes made.
"Namely a long-term plan and also looking within our own academy to introduce young players to the first team as often as we feel they warrant selection."

Deaf Cooperation for Secrecy with a Multi-Antenna Helper
In this paper, the authors investigate the roles of Cooperative Jamming (CJ) and Noise Forwarding (NF) in improving the achievable secrecy rates of a Gaussian WireTap channel (GWT) when the helper node is equipped with multiple antennas. They decompose the channel from the helper to the eavesdropper into two orthogonal components: one is aligned in the direction of the channel between the helper and the legitimate receiver (direct component) and the other is in the orthogonal direction to the channel between the helper and the legitimate receiver (orthogonal component).

Well, just two months shy of a year ago, I shot an editorial featuring British model/trannie Alex Prinzivalli styled by the flamboyant yet tasteful Cameron Carpenter for Mate Magazine. Now, mind you, antsy doesn't even come close to what it has been like waiting for this magazine to come out. But, yet, it is here in all of its splendor. I am very happy for how this little feature has turned out.
Cameron, the stylist, and I have known each other for a minute. And, we have collaborated a couple of times to some beautiful images. So, this time, he introduced me to Alex P. who had been in town for New York Fashion Week. We had a day to put a story together with little money or time to scout a location. So, I revamped my humble studio into a grafitti walled boxing gym a la the 70's. Add in a water colored/paper drenched post production and you have a Greco-Romanesque Alex P in all his glory. Alex is as beautiful in person as you can imagine inside and out. So, finally, take a look at my new story called Tough Enough in Mate magazine. It is on newsstands NOW. So, please, go buy a copy and support. And, also, see the cover photographed by fellow photographer Rick Day and styled by my friend Andre Austin. Go Dre!
A very very big special thanks to Martin Lewicki, Editor in Chief of Mate, who has the patience of Job dealing with me. Thanks Martin for supporting my vision for this story. And, just so you know, after a full shoot of shooting this story, Cameron and I shot Berthold Rothas until 4 in the morning. So, Cameron a big up to you for bringing a mountain of clothes and allowing me "to play" until 4:00am. And, of course, thanks to Alex P. for trusting my choices and rolling with the punches (pun intended).
To see more of my story, please go to Mate's website and/or buy a copy at your local magazine retailer. And, if they don't carry a copy, ask them to get it. And, oh yeah, here is Mr. P's Wall of Fame outtake too:

Do you have TWRP installed ?
I have/made a flashable 4.20.707.6_stock_odexed.zip
Here it is if you want it.
Sure can ...
Since it's going to be deodexed, might as well I make it pre-rooted with busybox and init.d support added.
EDIT : Link added
Download : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htco...d.zip/download
Hi everybody,
here is the official OTA files from HTC, for PN71400, CID HTC__044, LTE version。 hope it be helpful
NOTICE:This is not a flashable file, you need to install it using the official recovery
Here is the guide to instal the OTA file:
1. Copy OTA file to SDCARD
2. Boot to Stock recovery and once at the triangle, press volume up + power for about 3 seconds and then release, then you will need to wait for a few seconds to get the blue recovery menu. Then select 'install from internal memory' (or something like that) and find the file like you would in CWM
Update should install and your firmware and software should both match the version of the OTA Update.
Also a video to show you the whole process, HOWEVER, it is in Chinese, but it can still help you understand the method mentioned above.
You better remove the serialno: and imei: in your post above.
Not so sure is S-On device need to manually flash the boot img.
No harm doing it, so give it a try.
Extract the boot.img
then do the fastboot flash boot boot.img
maybe also need fastboot erase cache after that command

I have ONE bush, out of about twenty, that is blooming like crazy right now. All the others are like yours---just about ready to pop. Mine usually bloom early to mid Feb., so they're right on schedule. I can hardly wait I enjoy them so much---wish they'd bloom longer, though.................
You certainly may Shirley! I'd be tickled!
Mimi, this is a beautiful flower, may I use it to create a puzzle?
I'll do it Ank, especially for you!They are lovely Hanne, but don't worry, your Spring will come!We usually have a cold snap around Easter Tex, I wonder if that will happen this year?
This is early even for us, Mimi. You must already be getting hot. We are, too. This is beautiful. Thanks.

very nice flower
How beautiful, Mimi! I am amazed to see them blooming now. Do yours normally start blooming this time of year?

WatchGuard XTM 25 and XTM 26 Appliances Round-Out Small Business, Wireless Hotspot and Branch Office Offerings; Provide Full Suite of Protection Against Hackers, Malware and More
SAN FRANCISCO (RSA) – February 27, 2012 – Continuing its ownership of the small and midsize market, WatchGuard® Technologies, a global leader in business security solutions, today added to its SMB and branch office offerings with two new unified threat management (UTM) appliances – the WatchGuard XTM 25 and XTM 26. Ideal for small businesses, wireless hotspots and branch offices, the WatchGuard XTM 25 and 26 appliances raise the standard for network security price and performance. Protection is stronger than ever, with HTTPS inspection, VoIP support, and options for Application Control and all other WatchGuard security services (WebBlocker, spamBlocker, Gateway Antivirus, Intrusion Prevention Service, Reputation Enabled Defense, and LiveSecurity Service).
"Small businesses need more from their firewall today than ever before," said Tim Helming, Director of Product Management at WatchGuard Technologies. "The new WatchGuard XTM 25 and 26 UTM appliances give small businesses enterprise-class protection and advanced business productivity features that are typically seen in appliances that cost thousands of dollars more."
WatchGuard XTM 25/26 – Packed with the latest security technologies
Despite its small form factor size and diminutive price tag, the WatchGuard XTM 25 and XTM 26 are ready to run the latest security features and advanced networking technologies available today. These include:
- Defense-in-depth protection – Identity-based firewalling plus WatchGuard's unique proxy technology provides full protection against the most sophisticated attacks;
- Integrated VPN – Whether it is used to create secure virtual private network (VPN) tunnels for Apple iPad, iPhone and other iOS-based devices, or used to enable secure remote connectivity for mobile employees, VPN set up is effortless and easy;
- Application Control – Both WatchGuard XTM 25 and 26 appliances support next-generation firewall functionality via Application Control. This allows businesses to utilize web 2.0 apps, while keeping employees focused on work rather than playing social media-based games;
- Malware and Hacker Prevention – Armed with the latest in intrusion prevention, spam-blocking and gateway anti-virus, the WatchGuard XTM 25 and 26 appliances keep malware, spyware, viruses, worms and hackers out of small business networks;
- Cloud-based Protection – Keeping small business networks running fast and efficient, both WatchGuard XTM 25 and 26 models can use WatchGuard's Reputation Enabled Defense service, which is a cloud-based IP and URL reputation solution that stops threats in the cloud before they ever hit the network edge;
- Fast and Flexible Networking – Models include five 1GbE ports for faster link speeds, and wireless models have dual-band 802.11/n technologies for greater wireless speed and responsiveness;
- Advanced Management and Reporting – Real-time monitoring, secure logging and more than 65 report templates give businesses insight as to what is going in and out of their network and by whom.
Helming concludes, "Many small businesses face the same challenges as large organizations – how to keep data, applications and their network safe. With WatchGuard, it doesn't matter if your business has 10 or 10,000 employees – they all get the same levels of advanced, next-generation threat protection at price points that simply can't be beat."
Pricing and Availability
The WatchGuard XTM 25 and XTM 26 will be available in March from authorized WatchGuard channel partners. The list price for the XTM 25 begins at $440; the XTM 26 at $635. Wireless versions are available, starting at $550. For more information, please go to www.watchguard.com.

Britain voted World's Favourite Nation
Writing about 'This is the greatest nation on earth' from Chris Doidge's Blog
Tony Blair's claim that Britain is the greatest nation on earth during his resignation speech jarred with a lot of people. But maybe he was on to something.
In some international poll that came out last week, we won. Seriously!
May 13, 2007
The Blair Bitch Project
- Title:
- Blair's Premiership
- Rating:
In news about as shocking as a typical My Family punchline, Tony Blair resigned on Thursday, opening the floodgates for the media to pore over his ten years of office and deliver versions of his legacy in handy souvenir pullouts. One wonders what the newspapers have up their sleeves for when he actually goes on June 27th. For what it's worth, here's my purely subjective take on his premiership.
Say what you like about Blair, he's a fantastic politician. He made Labour electable again, but was it worth it? If I take my awkward question to mean was he good for the Labour Party, then probably not. For all the things he's done to disillusion me, I have a grudging respect for him – sure he's a shit, but he's a charismatic shit.
It's difficult to doubt his good intentions, but even his successes may not be so unequivocal.
- The minimum wage and low unemployment. The least he could do; I reckon more of the workforce is in the informal sector, employed by agencies, with low job security and no prospects, than when he came to power.
- Northern Ireland. There's finally a power-sharing executive that might just work, but how big was Tony's role in it since Good Friday?
- Solid economic growth and low inflation. Thanks to the independent Bank of England.
- Action on climate change. To me, this has only taken off since An Inconvenient Truth came out.
- Debt relief and development. What's actually happened since Gleneagles?
To be fair, crime rates and NHS waiting lists have fallen, though you wouldn't know it from press coverage.
Anything positive is outweighed by:
- Privatising anything with a pulse with a more-Thatcherite-than-Thatcher zealotry.
- Privatisation by the back door in the form of PFI, which, last time I checked, is still pretty discredited (The Guardian).
- Contracting out public service management to consultants who fuck things up so they can get paid again to sort their own mess out.
- Tuition fees.
- Top-up fees, though they are more redistributive than the Tories' HE policies.
- Oh, and Iraq: selling out the country's foreign policy and diplomatic power, starting an unwinnable war on false pretences, and eroding any moral high ground over Islamic extremists by undermining the rule of law and civil liberties.
Two out of five is generous.
The other day I realised that I agree with very little Labour have legislated on in the past few years. So I'm looking forward to Gordon Brown's inevitable premiership and the new direction he'll take the party. Apart from expecting "more of the same" I don't understand the unremitting flak he's been coming under for the past year. For God's sake, Gordon's hero is Bobby Kennedy – the greatest President America never had! They're all just ants at a picnic.
That said, unlike the jubilant but naive 13-year-old on the morning of May 2 1997, I'm bracing myself for disappointment.

Blair's Defeat
Tony Blair surprised us all by getting beaten in the House of Commons, for the first time. I mean, looking at the amount of stick he's got since Iraq and earlier, to a casual observer it seems a miracle that he's lasted this long.
Part of me thinks it's a good thing that the plans to detain terror suspects for up to 90 days got reduced to 28, and part of me thinks, "hey, as long as the police know what they're doing, they should be allowed to take a potentially dangerous person off the streets while they gather evidence against him/her, for three months if necessary".
But you'll always have the scenario that could occur wherein a young Muslim who has radical leanings but is as yet innocent of any wrongdoing gets locked up for three months under Charles Clarke's proposals. When he's let out of prison, is he more or less likely to hold a violent grudge against our society? Unless his experience of prison is a happy one, reminding him of what life might be like under the Caliphate, which I very much doubt given the sodomy, I'd have to guess the former: another recruit to the Islamofascists. Of course, this begs the question: would the reduction to 28 days mitigate any adverse effect detention would have on an innocent's beliefs?
What really pissed me off this week was Charles Clarke's "our backbench MPs just voted that way to give Blair a bloody nose – that's all it is, it's a fucking disgrace" or words to that effect. Excuse me? Your proposals were some of the most controversial legislation I've come across! It was tantamount to abolishing habeas corpus, thus undermining the very foundations of our liberal state! Whatever happened to the "we cannot let these terrorists change how we live our lives, cos then they'll win" declarations in July? Somehow, Charles, I don't think it was personal beefs with the Prime Minister that were driving the rebel MPs' actions.
I know the government have to make excuses like this whenever things don't go their way, but they often just come across as morons. See also "the 7/7 bombings had nothing whatsoever to do with us invading Iraq".

Sound Ordnance's rugged Bass Bunker enclosures come built to last and ready to help your sub deliver real low-frequency firepower. These unloaded boxes feature high-grade, medium-density fiberboard construction, with sealed inner braces that help combat resonance by reducing vibrations. Rounded outside corners and recessed panels allow them to fit into more vehicles, while tough black carpeting defends against incoming nicks and scratches. Bass Bunkers make a great solution when building your own box is not an option.
The BB10-125V ported enclosure holds one 10" subwoofer and offers an internal volume of 1.47 cubic feet. Its large vents feature rounded inner corners that keep port noise to a minimum for more accurate response. Just add the right sub, amp, and wiring, then mount the enclosure securely, and you're ready to hit the road with some real bass artillery in your arsenal.
Warning: This enclosure does not include mounting hardware. If you're buying a sub from us, please check "What's in the Box?" to see if screws are included. If not, you should have an assortment of heavy-duty wood screws on hand for the installation.
Solid constructon. Looks great.

Average Customer Review(s):
Solid constructon. Looks great.
Amazing box. I have it paired with Alpine BassLine 10" and the low end extension and tuning works amazing well! I'm surprised at how much volume can be produced for a box of this size. Construction and quality are great, I highly recommend the box.
Pros: Great size to volume/impact ratio Well tuned Great construction
Cons: Not a fan of the Sound Ordnance badge on the front May want to replace the wires it comes with
I transferred my JL Audio WxV2 10" sealed subwoofer to my wife's Toyota Sienna from a Mazda5 and although it was plenty loud in the Mazda it was woefully inadequate in the larger van. Tried a custom 1 cu ft ported box tuned to 37 hz with that subwoofer and it was much louder but the frequency response wasn't flat at all. Next I tried this SO box, which is larger than recommended by JL but it really brought out the lower octaves and the frequency response is much flatter. Very happy with the sound quality from this box. I did also try stuffing the box a little with some poly fill but that didn't work out so well (reduced output) so it sounds best un-stuffed.
Pros: Nice looking and built box with internal bracing and a good 35 hz tune.
Cons: Plan to swap out the terminal cut with Item #120TCRB if you want to use a double banana plug like I did.
Works great with my Rockford Fosgate P2D2 Punch. Really improved the bass compared to my old sealed enclosure.
Pros: Build Quality Bass Response
This is a awesome box. I put in my car and it's too much bass I turned my bass control more than half way down. I need to replace my highs now. I would recommend this box to anyone.
perfect for what I needed. yes I would recommend this product on all boxes. This is my third box from them. all in separate cars
Awesome!! Just like adding a new sub! 5 stars . Woke up my single 10" p3 sub.
Pros: great looks awesome sounds
Cons: 0
Incredible bass out of this! I bought a 10" Alpine baseline sub and tried both the sealed and ported enclosures. The ported enclosure made my speaker twice as loud! Construction quality is very nice!
Pros: Great construction and looks. Love it!
Cons: None
Lets just say that I am older than most who would be looking to buy this box. I bought a new 2016 Mustang GT Premium, and the stereo was horrible. I replaced all the speakers and added a 10" woofer that had been in the closet for Lord knows how many years. It sounded OK, but not great. I decided it needed more, so I bought a new Kicker CSV 10" sub and put it in the box. Better, but not there yet. Then I find this box....wow. Switched the new woofer over to this box, based on recommendation of the Kicker manual sizing chart. This thing will blow you out of the car. One 10" DVC woofer with a 400 watt amp (dialed down under 50%) changed the entire sound. Good hard kicks for rock. Occasional hip hop sounds like I'm a "Hustla". This is a definite buy!
Pros: loud, clear, and boomy
Cons: Its pretty dang big!
Clean looking box, sounds awesome! Easy wiring hook ups and mounting for the sub.
Pros: Sound quality and shaped well for a hatchback.
Cons: A bit heavy, but real sturdy
Perfect size very well built im very pleased in my purchase
Pros: All together good box
Cons: None
It's exactly the kind of big I looked for and my subwoofer, infinity kappa 100.9 w rocks in this enclosure. Good quality product.
Pros: Good quality product. Well built enclosure.
Cons: I didn't see any issues with this enclosure. So NO CONS
Great box, great build quality. Would be nice if it was tuned a bit lower.
Pros: Strong build. Compact.
Cons: High tuning. Had to widen hole for my 10.
Purchased this box for my 94 toyota pickup extended cab along with a 10" Kicker Comp VR. Easy to install. Good tight bass.
Good quality built dual ported box. Solid, strong, and sealed. Bought this to replace a smaller sealed box I was using for a Kicker CompR. I was having a difficult time finding an enclosure that had enough cu ft that didn't take up my whole storage area and didn't break the bank. I generally lean towards sealed enclosures as I prefer a more tight bass response. At the same time, I wanted to get a little more boom from the sub so I figured I'd give it a try. I am more than pleasantly surprised at how well this box was able to accurately produce clean bass notes which cover a wide range. Responds well in all music genres. Ulitmately I ended up pairing this with a sealed enclosure as well. My system sounds fantastic. If I had known up front how great this box was going to sound, I would have just ordered a 2nd one of these and skipped the sealed box all together. Great work Sound Ordnance and great service to Crutchfield.
Pros: Quality build, nice appearance, for the size doesn't take up an excessive amount of floor space, accurate bass response
Cons: Wish I had bought 2
Nice box, well made.
Pros: Solid construction.
Cons: none
I spent a lot of time researching and looking for the right enclosure for my sub. It was difficult to find one with enough air space for arreasonable price. This one fit the bill perfectly. The price and quality were both what I was looking for. Also it was delivered in 2 days. I am a repeat customer and this was another great buying experience.
Pros: Sound quality, price, durability
It a quality fabricated box, perfect fitment for the 10" Alpine Type R I put into it, and a nice volume at 1.5 cu ft. It's made from quality materials, is nicely carpeted, and has large speaker terminals (I have 10ga speaker wire running from the amp to speaker terminals and it fit like a glove).
Pros: Quality, durable, appropriately described on Crutchfield, and a solid box for the price.
Cons: Internal speaker wire is soldered so replacing it with larger gauge wire is a little hassle.
This box accepted the Polk bass like a silk glove fits on a lady's hand. Easy to install, looks great and built to last. I wont need another set of boxes for a very long time.
Pros: Quality product that is built well
Cons: nothing
I bought this box to replace a several year old box that was beginning to split around the subwoofer mount and was a bit big for the new subwoofer that i had purchased. To start off I am running a single 10" Rockford Fosgate Punch P2 subwoofer with a Rockford Fosgate Punch P300-1 300W amplifier. I purchased this box because it was the ideal size for a vented box for the P2 subwoofer att around 1.39 cubic feet (subwoofer mounted and displacement subtracted). The box is well made, with good speaker wire pre-installed in the box (soldered to the posts of the terminal cup), it was easy to hook up and mount the subwoofer as I had actually drilled pilot holes for the screws to screw into which made mounting a bit easier. Now, sound quality: I'm pretty much an audiophile when it comes to my music, this box produces a loud, clean bass with little to no port noise. I was skeptical at first about having to ports on the box, but it turns out it sounds fantastic. As to the looks of the box it is wrapped in high quality carpet with the only thing being that the enclosure i received is more of a black color rather than the grey color shown on the website. This is perfectly okay for me because i personally like the look of the black in my car a lot better.
Pros: Sounds great Ideal size Sturdy, High quality build/design Low Port Noise Good looking design High quality presoldered speaker wire High quality gold push terminals (rear mounted)
Cons: In the photo on the website it looks as if the inner joints of the box are caulked; however, the one i received looks to be sealed with a clear sealant (wood glue?) It doesn't make any difference really as the box is sealed at the joints real well (I know because my previous box was actually drilled into and didn't sound good at all).
Got this box to replace the one I got when I bought the vehicle. Actually it replaced 2. This box lets me run one 10 instead of two and hits twice as hard.
Pros: Sounds great
Cons: If you have a Jeep like me, the backseat has to go. Who needs backseat drivers?
I have two of these boxes running two alpine type r 10's. They have superior sound quality to previous boxes I have owned. These are the perfect buy for someone who wants quality mixed with quantity! Very impressed.
This box is solid and matched with a 10"JL you cant go wrong. This box is well made. Great job Sound Ordnance!! Will recommend this company to all my friends. Great Job Crutchfield, another extremely HAPPY customer!
awesome prompt shipping box is great nice low profile design made fitment really easy and quality unsurpassed

Materials: The Sound Ordnance BB10-125V Bass Bunker is an unloaded, hatchback-style ported enclosure for one 10" subwoofer. It is constructed of 5/8" MDF (medium-density fiberboard), covered in black carpet.
Internal Box Volume: The enclosure has 1.47 cubic feet of airspace.
Terminals: The BB10-125V is equipped with a pair of spring-post speaker terminals mounted in the rear panel. The spring terminals will accept bare wire up to 10 gauge, pin connectors, and single banana plugs, but are spaced too far apart for dual banana plugs. Inside the enclosure the terminal has an attached 24" length of speaker wire for connecting the subwoofer.
Brackets: Brackets for securing the enclosure to your vehicle are recommended.
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
Sound Ordnance subwoofer enclosures, called Bass Bunkers, are available to house most standard-sized woofers.
Value. One of the reviews stated that the same sub I'm going to be using sounds great in this enclosure. And I love Crutchfield. [ Jimmy Nov 10, 2017 ]
This box is within the recommended specs of my subwoofer. [ CARROLL T Aug 09, 2017 ]
Cheap and less of a pain then building a box [ alfred Jul 22, 2017 ]
Already had a subwoofer that fit. [ Eric Jun 06, 2017 ]
This box is listed as 1.47 cubic feet which is very close to the 1.4 cubic feet needed by the sub woofer that I have selected. [ Paul May 01, 2017 ]
recommended by the advisor/ heard that ported boxes have great bass for the type of music genre ill listen too [ Brenndan Apr 05, 2017 ]
Needed a good box and didn't want to build another one my old one was about 1.0 cubic ft. to small for the trim ring also. should be a perfect match for the Rockford Punch 10" for a ported box recommended by support. [ M Mar 03, 2017 ]
The closest spec box I could find that I could afford for my Infinity Kappa 100.9. Custom box was way out of my price range, so I hope this works out! (Current too-big sealed box sounds like trash) [ Philip Nov 30, 2016 ]
Price was unbelievable! The volume needed for the sub I chose, this was the closest I could find. (-.03 cu/ft) [ William Aug 15, 2016 ]
I needed a good box [ Matthew Feb 10, 2016 ]
fits the air space needed for my sub [ joseph Jan 24, 2016 ]
Its the largest pre-fab ported box I could find for a 10" driver. Really wanted about 1.75 cu/ft but didn't have time to build my own so I'll give this a try. If its too small then I'll order up the 1.8 cu/ft 12" box and make time to router out a 10" to 12" speaker adapter ring. [ Sean Dec 13, 2015 ]
This will depend largely on your vehicle. For details on installation please contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and give you the details on what you will need for an installation. [ Jeff Apr 28, 2015 ] Staff

Hey folks. I haven't seen any more melting faces, but now I'm getting another problem. Some of the light sources seem to be in front of objects instead of behind them (like sunsets and candles) Also some of the textures are much too simplified. I thought maybe it was a corrupt save game and so I loaded all others that I had available - they are all showing the problem now. I re-started the game, and also re-started my PC, but still having the same issue.
Anyone else seen this or know what's going on?
Btw, I just got a whole new gaming system, but I've been playing the game for several hours now on the new PC with no problems.
Anyway, running Two SLI connected Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTs with the latest drivers on XP in case that matters…

Kubica to run with special livery in Poland
24 June 2014 – Former BMW and Renault F1 driver Robert Kubica will run with a special livery in front of his home fans on Rally Poland this week.
Kubica was encouraged by his performance in Sardinia earlier this month and is keen now to build on that and get another finish under his belt, in what is his first year competing at the very top level in the FIA World Rally Championship.
"As this is my home event, I thought it would be nice to show the Polish national colours on my Fiesta RS WRC, and so that is what we have decided to do. Together with our partners, we have come up with a one-off design for this special event," he said.
"Competing in my homeland will be something very special, but on the other hand – strange as it sounds – it will be a completely new rally for me. I contested Rally Poland last year [when it was part of the ERC], but in this year's edition not even 100 metres will be same and my approach will be the same as it was for the other new events," continued the 29-year-old.
"I just want to do a good rally and finish well without making any mistakes. I know that if I get to the finish and am happy with my driving then it will be a good rally. This is the most important thing for me and this is what I am looking for.
"Talking about the results, I won't be paying too much attention to that. The most important thing [as I said] is to learn and enjoy. If I finish the last stage and I am happy with what I did behind the wheel, it will be the best result for me and bring a lot of satisfaction," he concluded.

Google's Motorola Mobility Purchase Approval Expected Next Week
Shane McGlaun
February 9, 2012 3:02 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Google swears it will be fair with FRAND patents
Back in August 2011
, Google announced that it intended the purchase Motorola Mobility. Not only will the purchase get Google the ability to design and build its own smartphones, the deal means Google
acquires all of the patents that Motorola Mobility holds
. Since the deal was first announced, it has been going through all the hoops needed by regulators in the United States.
Wall Street Journal
reports that the deal is now close to being completed and approval from the U.S. Justice Department is expected to come as early as next week. Once the deal is complete, Google will layout $12.5 billion in exchange for Motorola Mobility.
However, some antitrust enforcers in America and Europe still worry about the deal. The fear stems from the fact that Motorola Mobility owns patents for things that are considered industry standards. The regulators fear that Google may attempt to license the patents for unfair prices to competitors.
When patents that a company holds are turned into industry standards, the companies that own the patents have to agree to license them under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms also known as FRAND. FRAND patents are
hot topics right now
because some manufacturers that hold this type of patent have attempted to use them to get injunctions against competitors and courts.
Motorola most recently has used FRAND patents to win an injunction against Apple that forced the
suspension of sales of some of Apple products in Germany
. Google has been sending letters to standards organizations around the world that promise to offer licenses for the FRAND patents in the Motorola Mobility portfolio.
The letter read in part, "Google will not apply for injunctive relief against a willing licensee." The letter continued, "[we] reserve its right to seek any and all appropriate judicial remedies against counterparties [that refuse to license the patents]."
Wall Street Journal
"Game reviewers fought each other to write the most glowing coverage possible for the powerhouse Sony, MS systems. Reviewers flipped coins to see who would review the Nintendo Wii. The losers got stuck with the job." -- Andy Marken

Pedagogies of Dissent
Bronx Calling: The Fourth AIM Biennial,
Annual Meeting, American Studies Association, November 9-12, 2017
"Pedagogies of Dissent" emphasizes the conjuncture of education, politics, and intellectual work that has long been and remains central to the vibrancy of American studies. While pedagogy invokes the role education plays as a cornerstone of democracy, dissent is arguably at the heart of not just educational politics, but the political economic field in which education at all levels, and in formal and informal settings, unfolds today.
Bronx Museum of the Arts, Bronx, NY, July 22- October 22, 2017
Bronx Calling: The Fourth AIM Biennial features the work of seventy-two emerging artists from the 2016 and 2017 classes of the Bronx Museum's Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) program. AIM provides professional development resources to emerging artists living and working in the New York metropolitan area. The exhibition is organized by Aylet Ojeda Jequin, Associate Curator of Contemporary Art, National Museum of Fine Arts, Havana; and the Bronx Museum's Christine Licata, Director of Community and Public Programs; and, Heather Reyes, Exhibitions and Collections Manager. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog.

What is a 'Cash Flow Return on Investment - CFROI'
A cash flow return on investment (CFROI) is a valuation model that assumes the stock market sets prices based on cash flow, not on corporate performance and earnings.
BREAKING DOWN 'Cash Flow Return on Investment - CFROI'
It's valuable to consider as many models as possible when looking at the stock market. Financial theory is similar to scientific theory; no model can be entirely proved or disproved, and a diversity of opinions is encouraged

Utley's homer sets tone for Phillies
Two-run shot in first inning provides edge in Game 1
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com
Chase Utley waited through a one-week layoff, the lineup introductions and the Backstreet Boys' take on the National Anthem. And then, just 14 pitches into the 2008 World Series between Utley's Phillies and the Rays, he used one swing of the bat to prove rust would not be a factor in Game 1 on Wednesday night.

Team Ratings
G. Buffon
Kept Italy from going two goals down in the first half with a world-class save as he tipped Khedira's strike onto the post. Was exposed too often at times by his defence but was solid in his goalkeeping and his distribution was sound.
I. Abate
Showed bags of attacking ambition from the get-go and was one of Italy's most dangerous players with his marauding runs from right-back. Got the equaliser for his nation with after exchanging a lovely one-two with Bonucci before drilling a strike into the corner.
A. Barzagli
Was always capable of making a mistake as he dwelled on the ball too long at the back and allowed himself to be pressed. Got into some tricky situations but was dominant aerially due to the lack of German physical presence inside the box.
D. Criscito
Was up and down the left-hand side all evening and was involved in an interesting duel with Muller on the wing. Put in a few excellent challenges on the German and positioning was also solid, as he continually cut out passes.
L. Bonucci
Assisted Abate's equaliser in the first half with a superb flick that any attacker would have been proud of, but was lucky not to be penalised moments later as Germany failed to capitalise from his awful pass out of defence.
C. Marchisio
Looked to break forward from midfield and get involved in the play with the strikers as much as he could but didn't offer too much in advanced positions. Was more often than not available and tested Neuer with a rasper of a strike from the left.
A. Pirlo
Strutted around the park confidently but was sweating at points as he came under massive pressure from Lahm whenever in possession. Came through the match with ease but could have offered a little more, particularly with his set pieces.
R. Montolivo
Slotted in just behind Osvaldo and Balotelli but was not allowed any space to manoeuvre as both strikers continually came deep. Was forced very deep in order to see more of the ball, which affected his ability to affect the game in the final third.
Thiago Motta
Screened the defence excellently and didn't allow Kroos to affect the match from the position just behind the striker. Was extremely lucky to stay on the park after he forcefully shoved his finger into the face of Kroos.
P. Osvaldo
Held the ball up well and and introduced others into the match in the first half, and caused some problems with his physical presence. However, didn't offer enough in terms of creativity and was withdrawn early in the second half.
M. Balotelli
Came into life as the first half went on and started to bully Howedes and Hummels at times, but still showed signs of frustration. Was still strong on the ball after the break, but lacked a cutting edge in his passing and shooting.
M. Neuer
Didn't have his most busy of matches in the Germany goal but when called into action he responded. Displayed superb sharpness as he reacted quickly to beat away Marchisio's strike round the post.
M. Jansen
Didn't show too much attacking ambition down that left despite having no winger to deal with. Went through the motions of the match and just continually played short passes into the midfield.
P. Lahm
Was employed once again in his defensive midfield role and is growing into it more and more. Was always in the face of Pirlo and did not allow him too much time on the ball.
M. Hummels
Opened the scoring early on with a bullet header which cannoned off the post and in. Had trouble at times with Balotelli as he should have been booked for a blatant strip tug, but ultimately kept the Italian quiet.
J. Boateng
Was always calm and collected in possession and often received the ball in a sweeper role as Germany pressed high up the park. Distribution with the ball at his feet was composed.
B. Höwedes
Nearly followed up Hummel's strike with a header of his own that flashed just wide of the post. Always looked to start the play from the back and ventured forward a few times with some powerful runs.
S. Khedira
Was given more attacking license this evening and certainly prospered with his freedom. Took the game by the scruff a few times with powerful runs through the middle and down the wings. Had to be withdrawn after a potentially nasty injury.
M. Götze
Started off playing as the centre forward but never really looked comfortable in his 'false 9' role. Drifted from the centre to see more of the ball but this left Germany with no focal point inside the box.
A. Schürrle
Typically looked to drive inside from position on the left but it didn't happen for him on occasion. Looked more dangerous in a more central position though and was unlucky not to grab a goal after crashing a superb volley off the bar.
T. Kroos
Slotted in just behind Gotze but wasn't awarded too much space by Motta, who doggedly closed him down often. Had more joy when he drifted to the space in the wings but was lucky to stay on the park after a kick out at the Italian.
T. Müller
Not his most effective match as he struggled to use his pace and power to get beyond the Italian defence. Still showed plenty of work-rate and endeavour as usual but there was no real threat posed towards Italy from him.

FWIW, I think TW2 is a great game - simply more action/adventure than RPG(IMO)

Greetings to all current and future FIRST Double Gold members! And happy Fourth of July to all of our fans here in the U.S.
First of all, we'd like to apologize once again for any inconvenience caused by the delayed shipping of the June RT Box. We had a few difficulties this time around, including tech issues, sourcing for merchandise, and personnel changes. We'll do our best to make sure this doesn't happen again.
On a more positive note, we have some exciting news to share! Beginning in 2018, we're going to make some pretty big changes to how FIRST Double Gold membership works. With so much planning left, we can't really give any details yet, but let it be known that as soon as more information is available, we'll be rolling it out to everyone.
One of the first updates we have to make in order to roll out next year's changes is removing the 6-month Double Gold membership option. New members probably already saw that there was no 6-month option when signing up.
If you're a current Double Gold member, I bet you're wondering how this affects you. Take a look at this handy dandy FAQ…
I'm a 6-month FIRST Double Gold member. What happens now?
You will be contacted via email before your membership end date with information on how to re-sign up for Double Gold on the 1-month plan, or a regular FIRST membership. If you decide to do nothing, you'll drop down to whatever your subscription status was prior to signing up for Double Gold.
I'm a 1-month FIRST Double Gold member. What happens now?
Nothing. You will continue to be a 1-month Double Gold member as long as you have auto-renew on. If things change with our new plan for next year, we'll let you know well in advance.
I'm a FIRST member. Does this mean I can't sign up for Double Gold?
No! You can still sign up for Double Gold, but your only option is the 1-month plan.
If you have any other questions, drop 'em down here in the comments! @Chelsea and I will be popping in to make sure everyone knows as much as they can right now.

In recent months I have heard lots about multitasking. There are usually two opinions on the subject: (1) It is a good skill to possess, and (2) It is a hindrance to productivity. Interestingly, during a recent telephone interview, I was asked about my adeptness at multitasking, which caused me to think more about its true meaning and value.
I think that every effective employee has to multitask. Neither people nor events wait until you are ready to address them – they present themselves when ready, and when serving in a higher education position, where outstanding customer service is the Holy Grail, you are expected to respond. No one striving to have a successful university career has the luxury of doing one thing at a time. We move from one project to the next by necessity. Is this the meaning of multitasking? Are talking on the phone and signing documents, or typing on a computer and thinking about the many other projects in your queue considered multitasking?
As we search for higher education employees for staff and faculty positions, should we define (or better define) multitasking? Should it be a general requirement or expectation of any professional? Is it understood that everyone should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time? How do we evaluate one's adeptness as a multitasker? Do we consider this skill an asset or a liability? Should we accept that some professionals are not challenged or fulfilled if they are not simultaneously juggling multiple tasks?
As employers of university professionals, we must clarify our personal perceptions of the multitasker. Is it a good thing or not?

Come on, Bostitch, show a little pride.
At first I thought it was just a bum unit, which can happen to anyone, but other reviews I've since read on Amazon, Home Depot and CPOBostich concur with my experience.
Avoid this "tool", even if it's given to you for nothing. Our time is more valuable than that. It's going back to the dealer first thing in the morning, to be traded up to an 18ga, hopefully *not* made in China like this waste of money & time.
Pros: Cheep
Cons: Cheap, jams, misfires, dry fires

Pure Garbage
Pros: I guess the best thing about it is that it's Orange. Yep, that is about all it has going for it.
Cons: Jams and misfires continuously even after it has been "repaired".

OTTAWA - The three teens, next-door neighbours since they were little kids, stayed up late playing video games then were hanging out in the front yard early Saturday when the strangers walked up.
David Wood, 16, thought the young black men a few years older were going to ask him and his friends, a 16-year-old girl and her older brother, if they had a light.
"They told us to give them everything in our pockets or they were going to shoot us," he said.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Family Legacy Missions International, Irving, TX, USA
I have traveled with Family Legacy for two summers to work with children in Zambia through their Camp LIFE program. We now sponsor four girls that I had in my small group both summers. I love receiving letters from them and hearing about how they are in school. I've also visited their Tree of Life children's village and seeing the incredible living environment and school that is provided on their campus, I love seeing what a difference Family Legacy is making in the lives of these children.

Avec AFP et Reuters
published 25.02.03 | 02h15
The American President, George W. Bush, stated Monday that the UN's response to a new resolution presented to the Security Council Monday evening authorizing the use of force against Iraq will allow the U.N.'s relevance to be determined.
The second UN resolution that was submitted to a closed session of the Security Council Monday night, affirms, according to a copy of the text, that, "Iraq missed the last chance that was offered to it in UN resolution 1441, adopted in November of 2002.''
This proposed resolution was presented simultaneously by the U.S., Great Britain, and Spain. The proposal contains a dozen paragraphs, the first of which enumerates the list of Security Council resolutions concerning Iraq; including the famous 1441. The text goes on to note that Iraq's statement about its weapons of mass destruction "contains false statements and omissions''. Iraq "failed in its obligation to comply and fully cooperate with the implementation of resolution'' 1441. Another paragraph "recognizes that the refusal of Iraq to comply with the Security Council's resolutions and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and long-range missiles pose a threat to international peace and security.'' The proposed resolution also recalls that, "the Council has repeatedly warned Iraq that if it continues to violate its obligations, it will have to face serious consequences.'' This expression "serious consequences''-which also figures in resolution 1441- is generally understood as a diplomatic euphemism meaning war. The proposed resolution emphasizes, finally, that the Council "has decided to make sure its decisions are completely implemented'' also its determination to "restore international peace and security in the region.''
The text does not fix any specific deadline for a military operation in Iraq. A new meeting of the Council, also closed, was announced for Thursday by the German ambassador. According to the British, a vote will not occur before March 7. For its part, the White House has insisted that the UN has only a limited time to decide on this proposed resolution. "It is impossible to specify an exact date I can't predict the number of days, but it won't be many'', declared Presidential spokesperson, Ari Fleischer. The American President himself, increased the pressure on the U.N. "This is the moment for this organization, which we hope it will survive, to determine whether it remains relevant to face the threats of the Twenty-first century'', he proclaimed during a White House speech to the state governors.
The French memo to the UN. "We are aware of the proposed resolution. In fact, we see nothing in the present situation that justifies a new resolution'', stated President Jacques Chirac following a working dinner with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in Berlin, at an inn, appropriately named ''The Last Chance''. Somewhat earlier Monday, during a press conference associated with a meeting of his European counterparts in Brussels, the French foreign Minister, Dominique de Villepin, announced the delivery that day to UN headquarters in New York, of a second memorandum, designed to "make credible and concrete' the UN inspectors' work in Iraq. The French memorandum, cosigned by Russia and Germany, and supported by China, reaffirmed that the military option was to be implemented only as a "last resort'' and judged that'' for the moment, the conditions for the use of force in Iraq have not been met''. "Iraq must disarm and its complete and active cooperation is necessary'', reads the text, which insists on the fact that the inspections "may not go on indefinitely''. This new French initiative follows a first memorandum in which France already proposed to reinforce the resources and personnel at the inspectors' disposal.
The head of German diplomacy, Joschka Fischer, for his part, indicated that ''for the moment, we don't see the point of a second resolution.'' "It is not a question of finishing with resolution 1441 and replacing it with another resolution, but rather of applying'' 1441. "We want and we must achieve by peaceful means, which is to say through inspections'', clarified the head of German diplomacy, expressing a position very close to that of his French counterpart. At the heart of the European Union, the proposed second resolution is firmly supported by Great Britain and Spain.
Like France and Germany, the non-aligned movement, which includes 116 countries, also opposed Monday the prospect of armed conflict in Iraq and declared itself in favor of pursuing UN inspections. Six of them (Syria, Cameroon, Pakistan, Chili, Angola, and Guinea) presently sit on the Security Council.
The Russian Camp. Moscow expects to "use all the resources of its diplomatic arsenal'' to resolve the Iraqi crisis by political means, the Russian Foreign Affairs Minister indicated in a communique. The head of Russian diplomacy, Igor Ivanov, informed his American, British, French, and German counterparts over the phone, added the text. Mr. Ivanov reminded that "the use of force against Iraq would clearly be counter-productive and would push the international community far away from its objective'', which is to disarm Iraq, according to the communique. "Russia means to use every resource in its diplomatic arsenal to resolve the present critical situation in Iraq by political means'', declared the Russian Minister, whose country holds veto power over the UN Security Council's resolutions. In his message to his Western counterparts, Igor Ivanov judged that the Security Council has "succeeded in obtaining a decisive advance in Baghdad's attitude and in convincing the Iraqi authorities to agree to reinstate unconditional cooperation with the UN. Russia, which is a partisan of pursuing inspections to disarmament, judges that, thanks to the inspections, there is, "a real opportunity to definitively answer the question of Iraqi potential weapons of mass destruction'', according to the minister's communique.
New diplomatic maneuvers. In Beijing, the American Secretary of State, Colin Powell, tried without success to convince China- which has veto power as a permanent UN Security Council member- to support a second resolution. The Chinese number one, Hu Jintao, reiterated that the Iraqi crisis must be politically resolved within the UN, but that Baghdad must "fully, strictly, and honestly implement the Council's resolutions, and keep its word on the declaration to not possess weapons of mass destruction.'' Signal that they might be content to abstain on a vote of the American-British resolution; the Chinese authorities always add that they do not intend to alter the "positive direction'' of Sino-American relations.
In Turkey, the President of the Parliament, Bulent Arinc, declared himself opposed to a Parliamentary vote on the question of American troop deployment in the country in the absence of "the conditions required for international legitimacy'' of war against Iraq. Ankara et Washington are presently negotiating the conditions of American troop deployment in the country and the Turkish government confirmed it would ask for a Parliamentary decision on the question once an agreement will have been reached with the Americans.
On the Ground. Parallel to the intense diplomatic activity, the UN experts pursue their mission in Iraq. Monday, Hans Blix, head of the UN Commission of control, verification, and inspection (Unmovic), ordered Baghdad to begin by Saturday to destroy its Al Samoud 2 missiles, the range of which exceeds by thirty kilometers the 150 kilometers authorized by the UN. The Iraqi authorities have indicated they will comply with this injunction. But the White House already warned that the destruction of these missiles would not change in any way its opinion that the inspections were doomed to failure. "It's like taking one bullet out of a gun barrel and leaving the rest of the barrel loaded ", opined Mr. Fleischer. However that may be, the United States continues with its military deployment around Iraq. Two large ships crossed the Suez Canal Sunday night on their way to the Gulf.

For five decades, a 15-story building has overlooked Oak Cliff from its post on South Zang Boulevard.
Known as "the tower" by locals, the Bank Tower at Oak Cliff — which unofficially opened in October 1964 — is the area's largest multitenant building. It's also a neighborhood hub for commerce.
It marks its 50th anniversary this year.
Already, the celebration can be seen at night as 100-foot No. 50s illuminate the building's north and south sides.
By September, exhibits commemorating 50 years of fashion trends, aerial photography of the neighborhood's changing landscape and a 1965 Corvette Stingray will be on display in the tower's lobby.
"We're not trying to show off with that. We're proud of being 50 years old," said Ralph Isenberg, property manager since 2001.
Originally built to house the Oak Cliff Bank and Trust, the tower now headquarters a Bank of America branch and is a gathering spot for lawyers and accountants. It's also home to state Rep. Roberto Alonzo's local office and law practice, and a business assistance center for the Greater Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
In 2007, The Top O' The Cliff Club — a private organization on the tower's 15th floor — was transformed into The Orion Ballroom — a public event venue.
A year earlier, the club — an Oak Cliff institution for 41 years — was struggling to survive. A decline in membership could have forced it to close.
Its once dark, wood-paneled walls have since found a second life with a white coat of paint and tall mirrors to reflect light. Now, the space draws guests from Plano and Richardson for weddings and quinceañeras.
"They're people who I didn't think would bother to come to Oak Cliff," said Tim Alonzo, operations manager for the tower, during a tour. He's helped manage the building since 1999. "But what most people come here for is the view."
He walked over to a window on the building's north side and looked out on a recent Monday morning. The cloudy day didn't inhibit views of downtown skyscrapers, the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, Reunion Tower and the Omni Dallas Hotel.
"It has, arguably, one of the best views of downtown Dallas," Isenberg said.
The building's 15th floor transformation is one of only a handful of changes to the tower in the last five decades. Still, the tower and surrounding neighborhood's brick retail buildings are a throwback to decades past.
"It would be an absolute sin to mankind to change [the tower] to anything other than midcentury modern," Isenberg said of the building's minimalist style. "I've been in Oak Cliff for 25 years. ... We are not about modern flash."
But the neighborhood surrounding the tower could see some changes. Already, Jefferson Tower is being redeveloped to include residential and retail space on its lower level. This month, the city's planning commission approved a plan to rezone Jefferson Boulevard, 12th Street, Centre Street and Sunset Avenue roughly from Beckley Avenue to Polk Street. The area includes The Bank Tower at Oak Cliff. The plan mostly focuses on easing parking restrictions and changing building uses allowed in some areas.
CPA Homer Smith opened his practice on the tower's 14th floor in 1977. More than three decades later, he's still there. He echoed sentiments about the lack of change in the tower.
"There's not been a whole lot of change, other than the tenants," said Smith, 89, of DeSoto. "I'm glad [the tower] is still here and hasn't moved. I like it just the way it is."
In 2010, the tower's management struck a deal with the Texas Attorney General's office to house the Dallas regional administrative office in the building. The state now occupies three full floors, with offices also on the ninth and first floors. The move brought attorneys, accountants and social workers to the area.
The deal also brought the tower's occupancy rate from 76 percent to 100 percent, Isenberg said.
The move led building managers to embark on a renovation to the state's three main floors. Construction, however, is still underway to renovate one remaining floor.
These floors are the only spaces to be touched by the overhaul. Isenberg declined to give a specific cost.
Renovations include accent walls, new flooring and carpeting, wider hallways and additional women's restroom stalls.
"All of that may not seem important. But if you're a tenant working an office job five days a week, 52 weeks a year and your environment is right, then all of a sudden you don't mind coming to work every day," Isenberg said.
An avid art collector, Isenberg has left his mark on the building in the paintings, sculptures and mini exhibits that populate the first floor and basement.
Near the tower's underground parking garage, for example, in its basement tunnel is a small wall exhibit of vintage posters and a gas mask and hard hat marking the building's original use as a fallout shelter for about 5,000 people during the Cold War.
The basement also includes a mock courtroom built by Isenberg and one of the building's tenants, The Franklin Law Firm. The firm routinely uses it to prep clients before trial. Isenberg hopes it soon will be used by schools to demonstrate the trial process.
These mini museums throughout the tower are in addition to about five exhibits the building's management organizes each year, such as its annual tribute to Sept. 11, 2001, and another last year marking the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's death.
What isn't on display is kept hidden in a vault in the basement. The 10-room space is stacked with paintings and photographs, some of them yet to be catalogued. One room is dedicated to art commemorating 9/11. Another features only paintings and photographs of the Statue of Liberty.
"We have to have things for people to remember," Isenberg said.

Hoang Anh Gia Lai sack Graechen after poor run of form in V-League
V-League side Hoang Anh Gia Lai have sacked head coach Guillaume Graechen following their poor recent run of results.
HAGL, the Arsenal-supported team, have won just one of their last nine domestic league matches and Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Dong Thap left them sat bottom of the table.
The French tactician will be replaced by his assistant coach Nguyen Quoc Tuan, with the club in the hope that the decision will lead to better results in their relegation battle in the five remaining weeks.
"I am not surprised at the decision of the club because it is what all head coaches of football clubs must think about when their teams are not playing well," said Graechen was quoted by Tuoi Tre.
Furthermore, HAGL chairman Doan Nguyen Duc revealed that Graechen will take back his previous role as a trainer in youth setup at feeder club Hoang Anh Gia Lai – Arsenal JMG Football Academy.
Graechen was promoted to lead HAGL first team in the V-League this season, with the club decided to use majority of former Vietnam U-19 national team who are graduates from the academy.
