Of what stamp are the works of Grotius, Puffendorf, and Burlamaqui? Are they political or ethical, historical or juridical, expository or censorial?—Sometimes one thing, sometimes another: they seem hardly to have settled the matter with themselves. A defect this to which all books must almost unavoidably be liable, which take for their subject the pretended law of nature; an obscure phantom, which, in the imaginations of those who go in chase of it, points sometimes to manners, sometimes to laws; sometimes to what law is, sometimes to what it ought to be. Montesquieu sets out upon the censorial plan: but long before the conclusion, as if he had forgot his first design, he throws off the censor, and puts on the antiquarian. The Marquis Beccaria's book, the first of any account that is uniformly censorial, concludes as it sets out with penal jurisprudence.

Results 11 to 16 of 16
I have heard nothing but good advice from these gentlemen and from others on this site. I don't think you can go wrong with what is said. There are enough people on this site with a lot of experience with systems that they have been able steer people right and then you have the experts who have the equipment to analyze the results. The DIY doesn't have all of the diagnostic equipment so they rely on their ears. So if you're a sound perfectionist, then you need to consider using these guys from the get go as they have systems that they know work well together and have the equipment to analyze the final product. I am a DIY in this area and I'm satisfied with my system for myself and I didn't spend much money in this area but then I don't use the system that much.
I thought the videos from a year ago were one of the best presentations on system upgrades that I had seen. I appreciate sharing the information and knowing that applying what I learned is two different things.1998 Mobius
Wow, took one beer to read the responses and going to take another to respond ... should be a good new years eve! ... If i can figure out where to start on replying ...
I'm not trying to take anything away from these guys. I appreciate what they do and I'm not knocking them in anyway. I want to be clear on that.
There was some frustration in my original response due to the fact i expected the thread "So you want to tune that stereo???" to address something related to tuning. I was excited to read it bc i assumed it would hold a response to the PDF's that were mentioned in another thread or the PM that hadn't been (and still hasn't been) responded to between Brian and myself. So when I read through it and found little to no relevant information related to tuning i was bummed. Then to see the exile guys immediately jump on it claiming its greatness made me laugh. It simply didn't address anything i was hoping it would or that the title suggested.
Don't get me wrong, it was very informative and worth saving. Perhaps with a changed title? Ha. No biggie either way.
Some relevant info: I have talked to Brian multiple times in PM over the past few months. I have talked to David many times over the past year. In fact, half of my budget system as been purchased through the sales that Earmark has. So don't take away from my original reply that I'm trying to snuff them, get their help here on the forum, and match a system they would do.
In another thread, I simply asked for a comparison between a system built at one of these shops versus a DIY job that was tuned by myself or a local shop. I ask because I want to know the cost/benefit of pulling my boat 4.5 hours to get it "tuned". I, nor anyone else that I have seen, has asked for anything free, which someone mentioned above.
David did respond to that in the way that David does. Over my head. But i got the point. However, i was hoping to hear from some of the other guys who have done the stereos themselves. Have you had it next to a boat done at a professional shop? Could your amateur ear tell a difference?
Not sure if I addressed all the comments but I have an empty bottle.

Let me give an outline and maybe you, or someone, can expand.
Re-setup the gains: this is essentially turning the head unit to max volume and turning the gain up on the amp until you begin hearing distortion. Then bring it back down a couple notches?
Freq sweep the subs: Not sure what you mean? Setting the sub amp freq to 60-80 hz?
Adjust subsonic filtering: Highpass the towers and in boats if you have a dedicated sub?
Eliminate bassboost: If th sub amp has a boost, turn it off?
Integrate crossover slopes to flatten out over all tone: I dont have a clue here.
I put question marks next to everything because i just don't know. These are the questions I was looking for answers for in one of the other threads. I was hoping your OP would address these issues.
I was hoping to find answers to the above as well as from other guys that have done it themselves. Have you had yours next to a professional tuned boat? Can you tell the difference? What general guidelines did you follow?2016 Moomba Mojo
2006 Supra 24SSV - Traded
Yeah sometimes the responses loose me as well.
To be honest i've never had a tune done by a professional shop. I've always followed the basic directions such as Phil posted with decent results. Could it have been better? Probably but i have nobody near me i trust to do it that i know of.2007 Mobius LSV
System setting to start all flat. This is Deck setting. No treble or bass boost. Turn off the Loudness.
If you use an Iphone or something that has a built in EQ set it to off.
OK for a basic nitty gritty way to assume your deck is producing clean power you use 75% of its volume adjustment. Lets say Kenwoods because most i have seen have 35 on the dial at max. So 30 is the real max i use to make sure its producing a clean signal.
When talking distortion it comes in many varieties but the main one we are concerned with it the type that destroys the amps and speakers.
OK now that Deck is set, you will tune each amp separately now.
Cabin amp. Set gain to lowest point. Now on the amp if you dont have a distortion light or sensor and the only ones i see that do are high end ones like the ones i use.
Lets assume the amp will start producing distortion at 75% also < relative to the gain setting> Rule of thumb is you generally don't gain over 60% on the amp.
Now play some music and with your cabins what your looking for first is high pass > mid bass and tweets < and you slowly turn the gains up till you see or hear this. See the woofer over working < excursion > is maxing out. Or you hear the woofer sounding like its working to hard. The music should sound really clear. Basically at this point if the amp has frequency setting you will prolly you turn this up till its around 120 hz.
Now that that's done you will do the same with the sub but its going to be set closer to the 60-80 hz range most likely You will adjust the gains the same way watching how fare the woofer is throwing. If you get a nasty punchy sound then you need to turn your gain down or change the frequency setting.
You will do this for your tower amp or the speaker the same way.
This gets you tuned so your not blowing your system.
Your direct questions.
Freq sweep the subs: Not sure what you mean? Setting the sub amp freq to 60-80 hz? Means to flatten it all out at a ) setting
Adjust subsonic filtering: Highpass the towers and in boats if you have a dedicated sub? No this is a setting the sub amp should have its a type of frequency i cant explain this as i just dont quite understand it eather but to me it makes the bass more punchy sounding
Eliminate bassboost: If th sub amp has a boost, turn it off? Yes turn off bass boost settings and loudness setting.
Integrate crossover slopes to flatten out over all tone: I dont have a clue here. Same as the subs it just means you want all the deck settings, and ipod or what ever settings at 0. This way when your setting the gains you don't have exaggerated frequencies your compensating for
I hope this at least clears some of it up for you, Im no pro but id like to think i have a clue most of the time.
After you have all this set up then you can listen to the music and see how it sounds, and if its not to your liking you can then adjust settings, this was just a nitty gritty fast way to get the most clean sound out of the system.
As for my system in my boat i run it all flat and its amazing sounding. I can link you several threads from last spring on it and on my sound tests we did.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

Revision as of 14:07, 7 May 2013
Brief project overview
- mimicking the Hercules beetle to develop stronger machines capable of lifting and carrying heavier loads than current machines
Background information
- the Hercules beetle possesses exceptional strength, even for an insect
- they can lift 100+ X bodyweight
- able to walk with 40X bodyweight without expending much more energy than normal
Research problem and goals
- current machines don't even approach the strength of ants, much less the Hercules beetle
- obviously, the whole size-scale thing plays a role, but it is still worth looking into why the H beetle is much stronger than other similarly sized or even smaller insects
- there should be something special about the way the Hercules beetle is built that gives it its strength
- utilizing this could lead to stronger and more efficient machinery for humans, potentially with small-scale design and potential scaleup
Project details and methods
- detailed full body scan of Hercules beetle and then use computer simulations to find points of stress under various loads and how the beetle compensates for those stresses
- take live specimens and observe them under real life loads to verify simulations, potentially with mechano-sensing proteins
- make machines based on what we find to replicate the strength and see how they compare to similar sized machines based on traditional technology
Predicted outcomes
- if everything goes well: capable of large construction machines that can lift significantly more than currently available, or manufacturing biomechanical limbs and armor suits capable of granting immense strength to wearers
- if nothing does: need to come up with a different way to mimic these beetles because it is definitely worth pursuing
Resources needed
- scanner machines, detailed observation equipment to identify the structure behind the Hercules beetle's function
- beetles
- other insects and small-scale machines for comparison
- powerful computers for in silico stress loading

Bringing a baby to the House should be a last resort for members of Parliament.
In a ruling Thursday, Speaker Andrew Scheer addressed last week's controversy involving NDP MP Sana Hassainia, who felt pressured into leaving her seat in the Commons because she was accompanied by her three-month-old boy, Skander-Jack.
He said MPs can bring their infants into the chamber, but that they should ensure it doesn't cause a disturbance and that it only occurs because of an emergency vote or because of a breakdown in their childcare plans.
In addition, the Speaker suggested he was unhappy with the fact Ms. Hassainia immediately went to the media after she was approached by a page in the House and felt she was being asked to leave. Mr. Scheer said it would be helpful to everyone "if members approached me directly to discuss any concerns they may have."
He also defended his actions last week, stating that Ms. Hassainia and her baby were "creating a disturbance" in the House ahead of a vote, as other MPs took pictures of her.
"It is important to recall that in the case at hand several members were flouting the rules by taking photographs in the chamber, and it was this disturbance to which the chair's attention was drawn," he said.
Mr. Scheer said MPs should find ways to ensure that their children are cared for ahead of planned votes, which are usually scheduled well in advance.
"The chair appreciates that plans sometimes fail," Mr. Scheer said. "In such cases, provided there is no other type of disruption or disturbance, the Speaker's attention will likely not be drawn to the situation and the work of the House can proceed as usual."
Mr. Scheer, who has four children under the age of 7, said that the House must be flexible in dealing with the matter of children.
"I must confess that I am particularly sympathetic to the challenges faced by all elected officials who strive to find a balance between the demands of their work and the needs of their families," he said.
Mr. Scheer has asked his staff to ensure that there are enough change tables in the House, while calling on a parliamentary committee to review the standing orders that apply to the matter.
"In the meantime, the chair will continue to be governed by the approach taken in the past by previous Speakers, always mindful of my obligation to preserve order and decorum so that the House may conduct its business without disruption, knowing that I can count on the cooperation of all members in this regard," Mr. Scheer said.Report Typo/Error

In the hours leading up to Sunday's Dolphins-Patriots game, the big news was that Tom Brady had been spotted at a Make-a-Wish event the day before with two fingers on his throwing hand taped together. The concern was that the Patriots quarterback was battling a hand injury, which would go a long way in explaining his subpar play this season.
(Brady completed fewer than half his passes in last week's loss to the Jets, the third time this season his completion percentage dipped below 50 percent.)
Brady didn't look like his old Hall of Fame self against Miami; he was just 13-of-22 for 116 yards, with a touchdown and an interception, but New England overcame a 14-0 deficit to gut out a 27-17 victory and move to 6-2 on the season. And in typical "Patriots Way" fashion, Brady wasn't about to make excuses.
My hand is perfect," Brady said after the game.
When asked if his hand was bothering him, he quarterback replied, "Absolutely not."
As for those images that showed Brady's hand appearing swollen, he offered this: "I didn't know that anyone knows what the back of my right hand looks like. It looks fine to me. It feels good, so I'll be out there next week, you don't have to worry about that."
Brady was then asked -- without getting into specifics -- how important it was to push through minor injuries to set an example for his younger teammates.
"That's what you do. It's football," he said. "It's a contact sport and you play as hard as you can and you count on the guys next to you to do the same. I feel great. For the eighth week of the year, I feel awesome. Hopefully we go out and execute better. Ultimately, that's what it takes."
So there you go. Nothing to worry about even though, you know, Brady has played some of the worst football of his career this season.
The good news is that the Pats will run away with the division title because there's no competition. The bad news is they won't win a playoff game because, for whatever reason, their quarterback isn't quite right.

I usually wear a size 9 in boots, but when I received these, they were too big. It felt like my foot could slip out of the boot while I was walking. The boots looked cute though and seemed to be made out of high quality material. Too bad they didn't fit and the next size down isn't available.

Bundesliga: Hoffenheim accept German Football Association judgement
Hoffenheim will not challenge Monday's ruling which stated there will be no replay of their match with Bayer Leverkusen.
Last Updated: 29/10/13 6:15pm
Leverkusen won 2-1 in a match settled by Stefan Kiessling's 'ghost goal', with the striker's header going through a hole in the side-netting.
Hoffenheim appealed against the result, but a DFB tribunal ruled following a hearing in Frankfurt on Monday that the original result would stand.
And in a statement posted on their official website on Tuesday, the club confirmed they will not take the matter further.
Chairman of the board Peter Rettig said: "After extensive deliberations we have finally decided to give up the route of taking this to the next level.
"This decision does not change the fact that we view the tribunal's decision as sending a wrong signal to football in general.
"However, we will accept this judgment because we do not want to get bogged down in what is obviously a hopeless cause."
Head coach Mark Gisdol is also prepared to move on from the incident.
"I'm obviously disappointed, but not surprised," he said.
"We will now look forward and, as always, it is best to focus on the challenges ahead."

Does size matter? You've decided to get a dog and you may think you love all dogs. But sometimes your dog's size may affect the happiness of your long-term relationship. This can be a crucial consideration.
What factors affect whether you should choose a large or small breed?
• The size and location of your home
Although large breeds can sometimes live in small spaces, an apartment located in the city may not be the best situation for a large breed that needs lots of room to run and be active.
In general, a fenced yard where your large dog can run freely is optimal. If you want a large breed but you can't take your big dog out for exercise every day, it's generally best to choose a smaller breed that doesn't need as much exercise.
Smaller dogs, even those with a high-energy metabolism, are suitable for smaller spaces because they can find plenty of room to run and play indoors, while the larger breed may not be able to do so.
• Energy level – both yours and your pets
Are you a high-energy person who would prefer a high-energy dog? While smaller dogs can be very energetic, they're generally easier to handle than larger dogs with lots of energy. If you are not a strong individual or are limited in your physical speed, a larger rambunctious dog may be too taxing to restrain on a leash in some instances, for example.
• Your health
If you have physical limitations or health problems, a smaller dog may be a better choice. However, larger dogs can be trained to act as very effective service dogs who can help you be more functional and to live independently. Research choices carefully in making your decision.
• Your need for protection
If one of the reasons you're getting a dog is to provide you or your family protection, you may want to consider a larger breed. That said, many dogs are very good watchdogs – smaller breeds as well – and a small dog can certainly warn you by barking when you fear an intruder is in your home, for example.
If, however, you want a dog who's also going to actually fend off someone who's trying to get into your home, a larger dog is probably a better choice. Smaller dogs, no matter how ferocious they sound, are usually no deterrent for unwelcome intruders.
• Preferences of family members
Does your family have a size preference in dogs? Some breeds are more patient with children and noise, for example, while others may prefer a single owner or a couple with a relatively quiet lifestyle. If you have small children, it may be best to get a puppy that can grow as your children grow or settle on a smaller breed so that your children aren't intimidated. Choose your pet based upon its adult size and temperament. Some large breeds are extremely sensitive to small children and remain gentle and patient at full size.
• Whether or not you'll be moving a lot
If you'll be moving a lot because of your job, for example, you may want to consider the breed you get based upon the fact that sometimes, you may end up in a smaller space. If, for example, in one place you have a small apartment but the next a large house, you may want to consider getting a small breed nonetheless. The smaller dog will be happy in an apartment or house, but a larger dog may not be happy in the apartment – and may not be as healthy, either, if it cannot receive its daily dose of exercise.
• Training
It is important to realize that you will have a serious responsibility of training your dog as it grows, so make sure that you can control the adult size dog you get. Larger dogs are going to be more physically challenging to you than smaller ones, especially if the breed you choose is more aggressive or protective.
If you find yourself intimidated by a larger breed, that's obviously not going to bode well for establishing a gently authoritarian or "Alpha dog" status with your pet, a factor which is extremely necessary in reinforcing best canine behavior.
• Care
It takes more effort to take care of a large dog than a smaller one. Larger dogs are harder to bathe, more difficult to groom, and cost a lot more to feed. If your budget is tight, you may want to consider a smaller breed.
• Final thoughts
Whenever you find yourself in doubt over which breed to pick, a smaller breed is generally best. Easier to control and take with you anywhere, a smaller breed can also be less expensive to take care of. In other words, a larger breed comes with a full range of considerations which you should weigh carefully before you take the plunge.

Image Credit: Scott D. Smith/Retna LtdLess than a month ago things were looking grim in the Aerosmith camp, with Steven Tyler's attorney demanding the rest of the band desist from auditioning a new lead singer—and not ruling out the possibility of a legal action if they didn't.
Well, die hard Aerosmith fans can rest easy. Or as easy as anyone can rest while cranking Toys in the Attic up to 11 on the ol' stereo. The 'Smith have announced Tyler is officially still the band's vocalist via a puckish video clip on their website in which the singer declares, "I just auditioned and I got the gig." The band have also released details of a European summer tour.
Are you surprised by the news? Excited? Bored? And which is more ridiculous: the recent Aerosmith shenanigans or the hat Tyler is wearing in the clip? Let us know!

Best Flower Shop: Growing Wild
Manhattan Beach native twin sisters Lee Hoven Bakos and Lisa Hoven Gallien always dreamed of running their own business. Growing up, their parents instilled in them a love of gardening and the two worked at a local flower shop as Mira Costa High School seniors, then as business majors at Pepperdine University. In 1991, their dream came true with the opening of Growing Wild, their very own flower shop in downtown. Twenty-three years later, it reigns as the best flower shop in the South Bay, according to our readers. Bakos credits their success to her extended family of neighbors. "It's the local community," Lee says. "We feel very blessed to have a business in the same place where we grew up. We have a very amazing clientele. Very loyal, lovely people to work with." It also helps that Growing Wild is always on the cutting edge of design, she says, whether with fresh florals, succulent gardens, silk displays or orchid arrangements. — EK

I am working on a c# Console Application where the user has to only
enter a number to make a selection. Instead of making the user have to type
in the number and then hit enter is there a way for the input to be accept
on just the number not being inputted, i.e. so the user doesn't have to
press enter.e
Thanks for your help.
I have a DOS batch file that show some results on the cmd console. I
want users to press Enter to run program or press any other key on the
keyboard to exit.
I don't want to use options/choices because
in that case user will have to enter at least something which I need to
check and set the action.
Example:At the end of the cmd

I'm writing a command line python programme on linux. I want to ask the
user to press a single key, and then it should return that key press. I
don't want them to have to press enter, so I can't use the builtin

I have a gallery with custom items in it:

This is the same recording as thunderstorm(1) applied with some compression which sounds more impressive in my opinion. I seems to by that most speakers cannot handle such dynamics without compression.Pls also look for the uncompressed version - thunderstorm.flac
Recorded with: RME Multiface + RME Quadmic + 2 MBHO MBNM 410 omni microphones. Distance to each other about 50cm.
Really cool !
thank you !
this is the real bang, this reminds me of thunderstorms from the East Coast when I was a kid. Living on the West Coast now they seem to think that a thunderstorm is big and loud, but they just don't know what it's like to have a thunderstorm from Baltimore on a hot summer night. You rock!!!!

So what's the unexpected twist? A dispute over a pink, 1956 Ford Thunderbird.
Scope readers will recall that Maryville developer Mike Ross and his estranged business partner, developer Robert Stooksbury, have been duking it out in the federal courthouse for months.
The two men, along with former Knoxville attorney Ward Whelchel, had partnered on Rarity Pointe, but the relationship (and the project) soured. In 2009, Stooksbury filed a federal suit against Ross, and earlier this year a default judgment was entered, with a jury recommending millions in damages against Ross and certain other defendants.
The dispute continues to rack up billable hours, though, and one of the ongoing tussles centers on Stooksbury's allegations that Ross and other defendants have been transferring assets, in an effort to frustrate Stooksbury's collection efforts.
One asset that's still in play is the T-Bird. According to a motion that was filed by Stooksbury's legal team, the vintage car was owned by Tellico Lake Properties, an entity behind the Rarity Bay community in Vonore and one of the defendants in the lawsuit.
Stooksbury's motion said the U.S. Marshal had executed on the car and asked the court to allow a sale, with the available proceeds going to pay off the judgment due to Stooksbury. An entity called Athena of SC is looking to block that motion, though. In its own court filing, Athena argued that it has a "first priority" security interest in the car because, among other things, Athena won a judgment against Tellico Lake in Knox County Circuit Court, and struck a deal in which the car was transferred to an Athena affiliate.
Stooksbury's attorney, Wayne Ritchie, is skeptical of the relationship between Ross and Athena, though. During the hearing on Tuesday, he elicited testimony from a friendly witness who noted that an agreed judgment in Athena's lawsuit was reached on the same day the suit was filed.
For his part, Ross has painted a different picture, saying after one recent court hearing that the man behind Athena — Ted Doukas — had gotten aggressive with him. "Everybody's trying to collect from me," the developer said.
The Rarity Pointe property is likely headed for a foreclosure auction, after a recent ruling in bankruptcy court. Whether the T-Bird will end up on its own auction block remains to be seen, though.

Actress/singer Dawnn Lewis is "coming home" to Los Angeles this Friday night for a showcase performance at Beverly Hills new music hotspot H.O.M.E.
Dawnn recently joined Pat Prescott in studio to talk about her latest album and bringing her spectacular show to the stage.
Fans may know Dawnn best from her TV roles like "Jaleesa Vinson-Taylor" on A Different World and "Robin Dumars" on Hanging With Mr. Cooper, but Dawnn's creative talent doesn't end with acting.
"I love to perform. I love to create whether it's in front of the camera, on stage, in concert, in the studio, posing, doing voice-overs, I consider myself really, really blessed," said Dawnn.
After her releasing her latest album Worth Waiting For, Dawnn has proved to be an artist worth the wait to see live here in L.A. Though she's been busy supporting her new project on the road, Dawnn comes back to Los Angeles on Friday (Oct. 18th) for an intimate performance at H.O.M.E., which is proving to be a favorite spot with new artists.
"I have for a long time been doing festivals and concerts all across the country and a number of people have asked me 'when are you going to do a show [in L.A.]?'" said Dawnn. "So it was suggested to me by the owner…he approached me about coming in – would I be interested in doing night, and just like that, that was just a few days ago."
Backed by a stellar band that includes Scott "Bugs" Allen of 3rd Scenario (bass/trumpet), Kat Dyson (Shelia E./Prince), Curtis Dowd (keyboard), Anthony Graham (piano), Eric Anthony (vocals) and Tafere Hazy (drums), Dawn is excited to show L.A. what they're all about.
"I'm thrilled and blessed to be surrounded by such amazing talent," said Dawnn. "We were rehearsing last night and I got to tell you, the cats are ready, we are ready to explode. We're going to have a great time."
Her showcase at H.O.M.E. will include a mix of her originals, plus an array of covers that Dawnn and her band will "put our own stamp on."
Because of her background as an actress, Dawnn's stage presence on stage is reminiscent of some of the classic vocal performers back in the day.
"I came up watching people like Phyllis Hyman, Gladys Knight…all these people who knew that it was about your voice and your presence," she said. "When you think about the people whose music you were singing then that you're still singing now, it wasn't because of the video you saw, it was because of how their voice and their story and their presentation moved you. At that's all I try to do…just feeling the music and enjoying the surroundings."
Don't miss this intimate show with Dawnn Lewis at H.O.M.E. in Beverly Hills this Friday, Oct. 18th! For reservations visit http://home90210.com or call (310) 271-4663.
Part one: Dawnn talks about her album Worth Waiting For and coming back to L.A. for a showcase.

Chlorine Monitors
Residual chlorine or free chlorine is an important control parameter and is a measure of the amount of available chlorine remaining in a water system after the chlorine demand has been satisfied.
Residual chlorine or free chlorine is a key parameter and needs to be accurately monitored and controlled in many applications including potable water from water treatment plant installations, swimming pool waters, procedures involving chlorine based sterilisation of water, borehole waters used for potable purpose; and a range of industrial process applications where chlorine is used.
Accepta offer a range of high quality residual chlorine / free chlorine monitors and control instruments including residual chlorine controllers, potentiostatic cells, open amperometric cells and closed amperometric sensors... residual-free chlorine monitors >>

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I want to use the RichTextBox to bind to two properties in my ViewModel, which will be saved in the database. One will bind the RichText to a property, and the other to a PlainText. Basically, I want the two fields to be exactly the same, but
one in RTF and the other in plain text, this way when I export the table to Excel I can just display the plain text to the user.
I downloaded the source and added PlainTextFormatter dependancy properties, methods, etc. to mirror the current Text property. However, my problem is that when the RichTextBox loads, it displays the RTF for a split second, then only displays the plain
text. I only want to display the RichText in my view. How should I go about implementing this? Thanks!
I'm sorry, but I can't support modifications made to the toolkit. There are too many variables that could be causing your issue that deal with your implementation.

The spring evaluation period was very good to up and coming three-star quarterback prospect Sean Mannion (6-5, 205, 4.9) from Pleasanton (Calif.) Foothill. He has a very busy schedule coming up starting this weekend (May 31st) and the entire month of June.
"Things are going good for Sean," Foothill coach John Mannion and Sean's father said. "He will be going to camps starting with San Jose State on Sunday (May 31st)."
"We will be at UCLA's Camp on June 6th and on the next day we will visit Cal on June 7th," Mannion said. "With Cal just getting a quarterback (Austin Hinder), we will have to see how that goes."
Article Continues Below
"We will be at Oregon State on June 12 and on the following Monday we will be at a San Diego State camp that they are having up here," Mannion said. "Then we will head to Washington State for a two-day camp."
"A lot of schools want to see him up close and work with him in person," Mannion said. "As a coach, I can understand that."
Mannion earned all-league (HM) and all-(Bay) area (HM) after throwing for 2,608 yards and 23 touchdowns against eight touchdowns. He also had three rushing touchdowns.
The scouting report on Mannion is he has the size (6-5) that D-I schools love in a pro style quarterback. He has a strong arm and has been around football all of his life so he has a good knowledge for the game. He also has the poise you like in your quarterback. Mannion is a hard worker who is working on his footwork so he can be even better moving around in the pocket.
"Sean is very calm and poised," Mannion said. "We won four games last season on our last offensive drive."
"Two of the games, Sean threw a touchdown on essentially the last play of the game," Mannion said. "He's a really good decision maker."
"Sean just turned 17 and he's really grounded and mature," Mannion said. "He is really coming into his own and keeps getting better."
"Sean can make all the throws," Mannion said. "He can throw the screen, has touch, throw the out, and UCLA assistant coach, Angus McClure, when he was here during spring, commented on how well Sean threw the deep ball. Arizona's coach remarked how live Sean's arm was."
Mannion is definitely a prospect to keep your eye on over the next month and to follow throughout the recruiting process.

Great but can be improved
Congrats on what you've done, but I think it would be a harder game if you could make the rocks or creature harm the zebra, maybe give it a number of hit points before it dies.
Also it wouldn't hurt to be able to move downwards aswell, if the zebra can swim up I'm sure it could backpedal to help direct it around faster.
Why not add in some other animals who are also trying to escape the creature and will fight the zebra for space while it tries to escape.
Hope you consider making a new version.
You know I quite like the idea of the competing with other animals. We're not gonna make a new version of this game, but we might consider the ideas in future games.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very cool
Can't wait for the next one you should make a platformer next just an idea very good anyways
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Luvd it
I think you guys would be class children book writers.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
love this game
How random does it get; your a zebra that is in deep water, wearing a snorkle, swiming away from a *MONsTER* collecting badly drawn colourful starfish. the music is awseome and the commentry sounds like it was done under the influence of alchohol. once again awseome game
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Better Than I Thought
The songs were a huge reason I kept on liking the game, it just fit the game so well. Also after beating normal mode, you get to extra modes which is a bonus. Out of the new modes, my favorite was trying to go deeper under water. Of course that could never really happen since the atmosphere would have too much force on the Zebra killing it. The graphics were also not bad, enjoyable to watch. Anyways great game, James is an awesome Zebra.
The Zebra is made of reinforced steel. He is invulnerable to water pressure!

At the intersection of Southeast First Street and Second Avenue in the heart of Gainesville, businesspeople shuffle to and from their offices, friends pick out a spot for lunch, and bicyclists leisurely pedal by.
At the intersection of Southeast First Street and Second Avenue in the heart of Gainesville, businesspeople shuffle to and from their offices, friends pick out a spot for lunch, and bicyclists leisurely pedal by.
And all the while, someone is watching, carefully examining something no one leaves home without — their shoes.
"When you've been in the business, you can't help it," fast-talking Jim Goff said of his mindful eye, sneaking peaks at the pairs of Oxfords, loafers and sneakers as they pass.
Goff has had his downtown shoeshine stand for about four years, welcoming an untold number women and men, lawyers and developers, and visitors here for Gator game days.
"It's convenient. He does a great job. I can sit there and have them done or drop them off, and it's a good service for downtown," said Ken McGurn, a Gainesville developer who couldn't estimate how long he has been a customer of Goff's.
But Goff has much deeper roots in the shoe business, starting in the late 1950s. It was then he snagged a job as a teenager doing odds and ends at a shoe shop on Fifth Avenue.
The owner "asked me if I was interested in shining shoes, and I said, 'Yeah.' So he taught me the trade," the 74-year-old lifelong resident of Gainesville remembered.
In 1959, a customer gave Goff a nickname he holds onto today — the Boss of Gloss. "Now you're going to have to live up to it," the customer said.
Goff, though, hasn't done shoes ever since. There have been gaps when he has worked for the city and for a smoke shop, but he said he somehow always returns to footwear.
"Some kind of way, in and out, I always get into this," he said with a laugh.
His downtown stand cost about $600 or $700 and was funded by Gainesville developer Billy Scheel, who had it built before deciding on someone to run it.
Goff noticed it one day and started asking around, and Scheel ended up giving it to him at no charge. Scheel described the stand as "something different for our businesspeople" that's accented by Goff's people-person personality.
"It's just good for downtown," Scheel said.
The tradition of having a good shoeshine is a dying one, Goff said, noting that his clientele are primarily from older generations.
"With the time change and the new generation and the shoe changes, a lot of people don't get shines," he said, adding that casual Friday wear hasn't helped, either.
But he and another Gainesville shoeshiner, 91-year-old Amos Lewis Jr. of Amos' Shoe Shine Parlor on Northwest Sixth Street, are still going strong.
"We don't even think about it," Goff joked when asked about if there's a competition. "At 91, he's ill — not a lot, (but) it comes with age. Sometimes, he might take two months or three months off.
"And when he does that, a lot of his customers or church members or whatever, they'll come by (and say), 'Well, I'm going to let you take care of me until Mr. Lewis gets back to work.' "
Goff is downtown near Vellos Brickstreet Grill every weekday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. His price starts at $5 for a basic shine on brown, black or burgundy shoes, and goes up for white shoes, boots and other items that need more work.
He also does shoe dying.
"You've got to really know what you're doing to dye a shoe," he said, "because if you mess up, you've got to pay it, you've got to buy that shoe. And there's some shoes you don't want to buy because of the price."
He has a shop area in the back of Vellos to work on drop-off items and those he wants to avoid sweating on because they can't get wet.
Many times, though, especially on Fridays, business will be slow. That's when Goff said he takes time to enjoy being outdoors and downtown.
Even people who don't stop for a shine wave as they stroll by, looking like they've been friends for decades. "I know every — man, I know everybody down here," Goff said.
The people and "because I love to do it" are keeping retirement out of Goff's mind — plus the fact that "Mr. Amos is 91 and he's still rolling."
"Shoes are a work of art," he said, "so what you put into it is what you're going to get out of it."

By SCOTT PESZNECKER and GENEVIEVE BOOKWALTER
Agriculture brought $30.8 million to Calaveras County last year a 16.5 percent increase from 2001.
Those numbers came from the recently released 2002 Report of Agriculture, compiled by Calaveras County Agricultural Commissioner Jearl Howard.
The increase was due mostly to an increased timber harvest, Howard said. Also, the trees cut down were worth more; the harvest's total value was $13.1 million, up from $8.2 million the year before.
Nursery crops and fruits and nuts made small gains. Livestock and poultry product profits increased from $700,000 in 2001 to $907,000 this year.
However, the sale of actual livestock and poultry fell from $9.4 million in 2001 to $8.4 million this year, and field crop and bee product enterprises experienced small losses.
Tuolumne County also saw increased profits from agricultural endeavors in 2001. The 6 percent rise in Tuolumne County profits last year also came mainly from timber sales.
While loggers and Forest Service officials said they appreciate the increase in logging, they said they'd like to see more wood come off the Stanislaus National Forest.
"Even though there's a 10-percent increase, we're not really seeing what's sustainable on the Stanislaus," said Stacey Martin, vice president of Sonora's Sierra Resource Management. "The revenue should be substantially higher."
Martin said she is looking forward to help from the Bush Administration, which has proposed relaxing logging restrictions in the Sierra Nevada.
But Jerry Snyder, spokesman for the Stanislaus National Forest, said he doesn't think those new rules would help much.
"It seems like there can be an extremely large increase in timber products in the future," Snyder said. "But we have not yet reached the previous possible threshold for timber harvest" the one allowed under the stricter guidelines.
Snyder said the Forest Service has had problems getting bids for some of the projects it wanted cut.
"I don't think it was as large an increase as we might have projected, because some of the sales didn't go through as anticipated," Snyder said. "But we expect an even larger increase this year."

Mount Rainier
Yes, it's a big mountain, all 14,411 feet of it, and a very popular national park for those interested in hiking, mountain climbing, and witnessing the huge peaks of this Washington State gem and its twenty-six glaciers east of the Tacoma and Seattle area. Hey, and it's also a volcano, with two over one thousand feet in diameter centers. And folks have been visiting and witnessing these peaks for a long time, from the times when Indian tribes inhabited the area to those of George Vancouver, John Muir, and its dedication as Mount Rainier National Park by President William McKinley in 1899.

- Things You Should Not Miss
There is more than one peak at Mount Rainier, actually three, with the highest named Columbia Crest, and others Point Success and Liberty Cap. And climbing the summit is an annual trial for around 10,000 people, althought it is an arduous task only for the most experienced climbers who have the ability to climb the largest glacier in the United States south of Alaska.
But there's a whole lot more to do than climb the summit, and that's what the majority of the over one million visitors do at Mount Rainier National Park each year. Depending on the way you enter the park, there is a visitor center nearby with exhibits, ranger guided walks, and hiking trails galore, including the mother of them all, the Wonderland Trail. There is Sunrise Visitor Center in the northeast, the main Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center near Paradise in the south/central area of the park, and Ohanapekosh Visitor Center near the southeast corner.
Mount Rainier Then
Geology at Mount Rainier- Lava from 840,000 years ago and it's present cone from 500,000 years ago. Two major mudflows have occured within the last 5,000 years, one, the Osceloa Mudflow reached Tacoma, and more recently, 500 years ago, the small Electron Mudflow. The volcano last erupted in the 19th century.
Recreation at Mount Rainier- Although what we would call recreation today, i.e. Mountain Climbing, Hiking, etc. did not occur when George Vancouver came to the area in 1792 and named it after his friend, it has become part of the area's appeal for over a century, since its initial climb to the summit by the Hazard Stevens and P.B. Van Trump in 1870. The land was set aside in 1893 as part of the Pacific Forest Reserve and six years later became a national park.
Mount Rainier Now
The Views - In the above picture, top center, you can see just one of the summer views of Mt. Rainier from a walking path in Mount Rainier National Park. Photo: NPS. These view abound all over the park, from the developed areas to the trails that wind from them.
Mount Rainier
1. Take the drive up to Sunrise, the highest spot where you can drive. Although it's far from some of the main areas around Paradise, it might just be the right spot for you to view the sights of Mount Rainier.
2. The new visitor center at Paradise has a park film that helps orient the visitor to the park. Might make a good first stop for those new to the area, and even to veterans who have not yet seen the film.

Tricare data tape theft sparks lawsuit
Breach discovered in September.
Updated 9:32 pm, Thursday, October 27, 2011
A Leander man has filed a class action lawsuit against a Pentagon contractor after data tapes containing information on 4.9 million Tricare beneficiaries were stolen from a car parked in San Antonio.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in San Antonio on behalf of Fernando Arellano and others who may have had information on the tapes, alleges that Science Applications International Corp. violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by failing "to adopt and maintain procedures" to prevent the release of health records. SAIC also released health information, constituting "common-law invasion of privacy by the public disclosure," the suit stated.

Tricare spokesman Austin Camacho declined to comment, citing agency policy. An SAIC spokesman also wouldn't comment on the suit, but said Thursday there was no indication that anyone had accessed data on the stolen tapes — which remain missing.
"We have no evidence that the tapes have been read by anyone, and we and the government we believe the risk is low," Vernon Guidry said.
One of the Pentagon's largest contractors, SAIC revealed last month that it had discovered a data breach affecting as many as 4.9 million patients in the Defense Department's Tricare health system. The patients had received care from military facilities in San Antonio since 1992.
The breach involved backup computer tapes from an electronic health-care record that had been left in a company employee's car that was burglarized Sept. 13 at 300 Convent. The tapes, left in the car that was parked there most of the day, contained data ranging from Social Security numbers and addresses to health information for patients in 10 states.
Guidry has said the worker's job was "to transfer the tapes in an expeditious manner between facilities," but did not elaborate. The worker was put on administrative leave.
Arellano, who has been treated at military medical facilities here since 2008, was not at home and did not return a message. His attorneys, one them Beaumont lawyer Richard Coffman, were not available.
The 17-page lawsuit said the class "is comprised of millions of persons" and that their rights were violated "in a virtually identical manner as a result of defendant's willful, reckless and/or negligent conduct." Citing federal law, it said that the plaintiff and each class member are entitled to damages from $100 to $1,000.
SAIC, the suit continued, was required to use "reasonable care" in protecting the information on the data tapes and failed to do so.
"It was reasonably foreseeable that defendant's failure to exercise reasonable care in safeguarding and protecting plaintiff's and class members' private health information," the suit said, "would result in an unauthorized third party gaining access to such information for no lawful purpose."

The Witcher - Peek #16 @ RPG Vault
View Single Post
September 4th, 2007, 09:26
Hehe, I think your right, I remember something about this coming up before, also.
Literary works obviously arent interactive and most stories usually need to be specific but in games it would only enhance the outcome, with only minor adjustments.
This is an area Troika, Bioware and Obsidian put work into improving their games that really paid off.
So I can't see how there would be a single negative associated with a Witcher being a female, though I could easily be overlooking or not understand Sapkowski's world, where there maybe be some reason females can't be equal.
Trust me, most of the names I have been called you can't translate in any language…they're not even real words as much as a succession of violent images.

Talon-tangled eagles' landing concerns Cottage Grove golf staff
People got an unusual sight Sunday morning near River Oaks Golf Course: a pair of talon-tangled eagles in mid-air - and then on the ground.
Two bald eagles apparently locked talons in flight and then fell to the ground. Golf course staff thought the birds might have been injured so they called police shortly before 8 a.m.
Police Capt. Pete Koerner said officers separated the birds' talons and then the eagles flew off.
Koerner said eagles have a mating ritual in which they lock talons and fall from the sky.

Jersey Shore Tourism Season a Mixed Bag [AUDIO]
Following Superstorm Sandy, there were serious concerns about the 2013 summer tourist season would shape up in New Jersey. It seems some towns have done well, while others have struggled.
Following a tour of part of the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk, Gov. Chris Christie stopped at the Ark Pub and Eatery, and talked tourism with a group of reporters.
"There are places like Seaside Heights who are having a hard time. The lack of rides on that boardwalk has been the biggest determining factor in not drawing as many families there, but I spoke to the guys at Jenkinson's in Point Pleasant Beach, and they said they are doing as well as they've ever done," said Christie.
Beach Haven has fared well too.
"I was talking to the businesses there, and in general they feel pretty good about how they've done. I was down in Cape May – they're thrilled with their summer. North Wildwood – not as much. It's very variable from town to town," said Christie.
Another thing that has hurt the shore this summer is a loss of Canadian tourism. "We lost a good amount of Canadian tourism because they tend to make their plans in February and March, and those folks weren't sure we were going to be open," said Christie
He also said an extremely wet June hurt many shore towns.
"Everything on the shore economy is weather dependent. People wake up on a Saturday morning, and it's sunny and it's warm – it's like a magnet – they get in their car and they come down here," said Christie. "But if it's cloudy and rainy, they stay home."
The Treasurer's Department is expected to have newly tabulated sales tax numbers for the shore by the middle of September.
