Police Seeking Public's Help Finding Over $2 Million in Stolen Wii Game Consoles
Over 7,000 Nintendo Wii game consoles – worth over $2 million dollars – were stolen from a distributing warehouse in SeaTac over the weekend, and detectives are asking for the public's help in locating the van and trailers they were stolen in.
Employees at Seattle Air Cargo in the 19100 block of Des Moines Memorial Drive (map bel0w) said the theft occurred sometime between 9 p.m. Saturday night and Noon Sunday.
The suspects used forklifts on the premises to load up two 53-foot trailers and a box van with at least 64 pallets of the game consoles.
Both Trailers are 53-feet in length, white in color and have the name "McKinney" on the side. The box van is a large International van with "Seattle Air Cargo" written on the doors (note: Seattle Air Cargo is NOT written on the side of the box, only the doors).
Here are descriptions and photos (click images to see larger versions):
- Trailer #1- California license plate 4HB3365 with a trailer number 533457
- Trailer #2- California license plate 4EA5521 with trailer number 531841
- Box Van- make "International" Washington license plate B40622K
Detectives believe the suspects drove two tractor trucks to the warehouse and used forklifts inside to load up the trailers and box van with the pallets of Wii games.
Detectives estimate the value of property stolen including the vehicles is over $2 million.
If you have information about this crime please call the King County Sheriff's Office at (206) 296-3311 or 911 if you see any of the vehicles.

From the Norfolk Admirals:
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – Frederik Andersen made 39 saves to lead the Norfolk Admirals (10-12-0-0) to a 3-1 victory over the Binghamton Senators (13-5-1-1) on Saturday night from the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena. The Admirals, who have won three of their last four games, snapped Binghamton's franchise-record nine-game winning streak.
Kyle Palmieri, Jordan Hendry and Brandon McMillan scored for the Admirals. Andersen (7-6-0) stopped all 29 shots he faced in the final two periods. Norfolk killed all three Senator power plays, increasing their streak of opponent power plays killed to 33 over the last five-plus games.
The Admirals will return to Scope on Friday and Saturday nights to battle the Bridgeport Sound Tigers.
Norfolk took a 1-0 lead 7:32 into the first period. Sami Vatanen sent a shot from right circle that was blocked away into the left circle. Palmieri found it there and sent the rebound past Binghamton backstop Robin Lehner for his ninth goal of season.
The Senators tied the game at 1-1 just under seven minutes later with their AHL-leading eighth shorthanded goal of the season. Derek Grant picked off a Norfolk pass in the left corner, skated towards the goalmouth and sent a backhand shot past Andersen at 14:30.
The Admirals re-claimed the lead 6:35 into the second period. Peter Holland won a faceoff back to Hendry in high slot. Hendry sent a shot through traffic that was deflected on its way through Lehner's legs for Hendry's second goal of the season and a 2-1 Norfolk lead.
Norfolk's lead doubled late in the second period. McMillan attempted a wraparound shot from behind the net near Lehner's right side. The puck hit Lehner's pad, bounced towards the low slot, pinballed off the skate of Troy Bodie and went right back to McMillan, who one-timed it past Lehner's right skate at 17:48 for his third goal of the season.
Andersen turned aside all 13 shots he faced in the third period and nearly scored an empty-net goal when his shot hit the outside of the left post of the Binghamton net. Nevertheless, the Admirals held on for the 3-1 lead.
Lehner (8-3-1) stopped 32 of 35 shots in the setback.
Norfolk was 0-for-5 on the power play. Binghamton was 0-for-3.
The Admirals return to Scope on Friday and Saturday against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Friday night's game is the Admirals' annual Toy Toss. Admirals fans are asked to bring new stuffed toys to that game to throw onto the ice after the Admirals score their first goal. Toys will be collected for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots.
Also, the first 2,000 fans through the gates will receive the first set of 2012-13 Admirals trading cards, courtesy of Michael and Son Services and JPM Financial Services/John's Tax Service.

36" X 36" with 10" drivers...question!
08/14/08 at 21:07:59
It's been a LOONG time since I've done the calculations for any sub-boxes. I could use a hand with this.
I need help figuring out this setup for my home theater, please!
I built the 36" X 36" Wicked One about 8 years ago or so, and just had some junk Rockford Fosgate bottom end 10" drivers in it. A few years ago my Dad got me some JL Audio W7 10" DVC drivers which I put in the box, but really didn't have much use because my neighbors complained a lot about my loud movie watching habbit.
Anywho, now that I have a house, I'm revisiting this sub with the LJ Audio W7 drivers, and I'm trying to figure out how much air space I should have behind the sub to get some solid sound for home theater use. I want to brace the snot out of the chamber, and once I get it right I'm going to do a satin black lamination all around (to cover up 8 years of spilled drinks, cat puke, and chipped up edges).
Can someone tell me how much airspace I have in the sealed champer of a 36" X 36" Wicket One running 10" drivers, and help me figure out what is optimal for the W7 drivers?
Here are the specs on the driver:
Free Air Resonance (Fs): 30.6 Hz
Electrical Q (Qes): 0.578
Mechanical Q (Qms): 7.647
Total Speaker Q (Qts): 0.537
Equivalent Compliance (Vas): 1.28 cu. ft. / 36.1 liters
One-Way, Linear Excursion (Xmax)*: 0.9 in. / 23 mm
Reference Efficiency (no): 0.171%
Efficiency (1W/1m)**: 84.3 dB SPL
Effective Piston Area (Sd): 59.8 sq. in. / 0.0386 sq. m.
DC Resistance (Re): 2.75 ohm
Nominal Impedance (Znom): 3 ohm
Thermal Power Handling (Pt): 750W
Driver Displacement: 0.09 cu. ft. / 2.5 liters
Net Weight: 30 lbs. / 13.6 kg
Any and all help is greatly appreciated! 8-)

Hey Raven,
I have a spreadsheet setup to design chamber volumes for 4th order bandpass boxes, based on a desired Fl (lower 3 dB cutoff frequency). The output gives the Fh (upper 3 dB cutoff frequency), Fb (resonant frequency of vented chamber), net volumes of both vented and sealed chambers, and the gain of the system.
You could also solve for the Fl and Fh, for a given desired gain, but I dont have a calc sheet setup for that...
See -
for formulas
Anyway, assuming you want to design a system with a 0 dB bandpass ripple (S=0.7), and say, an Fl of 30 Hz:
Vf (volume of vented chamber) = 20.4 liters = 0.721 cu ft = 1245 cu in
Vr (volume of sealed chamber) = 28.27 liters = 1.0 cu ft = 1726 cu in
Qbp (Qtc of sealed chamber) = 0.81
Fb (resonant frequency of vented chamber) = 46.2 Hz
Pa (gain) = 2.19 dB
Let me know if that if these numbers are usable to you. Id be glad to run new numbers if have any constraints such as for the sealed chamber volume.

I also forgot to mention that the sealed chamber volume for the 36 x 36 wicked one is around 2054 cu in, assuming 3/4 in material and 12 in interior depth for 10 in woofers. (For 8 in woofers and 10 in interior depth, the volume is 1712 cu in.)
Dont forget to subtract the volume displace by the driver magnet and cone inside the chamber.

Thanks Chuck. It's been about 10 years since I've done any calculations...I'm going to have to brush up on it as I only understood about half of what you gave me.
Since I'm using this for home theater, I want to tune it as deeply as possible. But it's sounding like I may need bigger chambers considering how much displacement my subs have.
Am I right in thinking that?
For example, lets say I wanted to tune it to 15Hz or 20Hz, how much space would I need in the front and rear chambers?

Consider this, and then tell me what you think:
From my calculations for the 36 x 36 x 12 in interior depth, the volumes for the vented chamber is 1456 cu in, which is somewhat close (17% higher) to the calculated volume I gave you at Fl =30 Hz which was 1245 cu in. You said you were going to brace it to 'heck', so I suspect the bracing volume displacement can bring the net "real" volume closer to the 1245 cu in. I say close enough...
And...similarly, the volume of the 36 x36 x 12 in sealed chamber is 2054 cu in, without any reduction for speaker magnet, and the volume I calculated at the Fl =30 Hz, is 1726 cu in, about a 328 cu in difference. Again, if you estimate the volume of your speaker magnet and cone inside the chamber to be close to that 328 cu in, I'd say that's an ideal design already. Both chambers appear to be at the design volumes for the assumptions I made - 12 inch depth (I'm assuming for your 10 in speakers), S=0.7 and Fl=30Hz.
Remember, these calc'd volumes are for a true 4th order bandpass, but this cabinet adds the horn component, which may inherently extend the tuned frequency to below the 30 Hz cutoff. Anyone comment to that statement??
But that's really beyond my understanding. :-?
Actually, I don't completely understand all of the theory behind these design formulas either, but the math is easy for me to follow, and I can build a sheet to compare numbers on 'paper', making changes and corrections simple. I love Excel. I also cheat using Autocad to sketch the layout in a jiffy, and then it can automatically calculate the areas (and volumes) for each chamber.
But, if you want to
to see what's required at Fl=20 Hz...
Vf (volume of vented chamber) = 20.4 liters = 0.721 cu ft = 1245 cu in (same as before)
Vr (volume of sealed chamber) = 118.7 liters = 4.19 cu ft = 7242.5 cu in (HOLY COW...a little too large?? :-/)
Qbp (Qtc of sealed chamber) = 0.61
Fb (resonant frequency of vented chamber) = 34.9 Hz
Pa (gain) = -2.65 dB (not ideal to drop into negative here...)
It appears to me that your speaker drivers don't work well for Fl of 20 Hz. I dont even have to rerun the calcs to show that 15 Hz wont work either...
However, Fl=25 Hz gives a Vr volume of 2885 cu in, which you could achieve by increasing the interior depth to 16.85 inches. You can decide if that make sense for you or not...
Let me know what you end up doing. Take care.

Well, I'm not about to build out the chamber bigger, so it sounds like it's best if I just hold at 30Hz.
I'm thinking I may want to build a Sonosub as well eventually, which I could tune to 15Hz and the deeper bass I'm looking for.
Thanks for your calculations.

Come, light-starved people, and gather like moths around the illuminated delights of the third Lumiere festival. With nearly 30 installations dotted around the city, magical transformations can be found around every corner. Telephone boxes become aquariums, a 3D elephant lumbers across the ancient Framwellgate Bridge and the frowning exterior of the Home Office's Millburngate House is reborn as an interactive jukebox. Durham Cathedral, meanwhile, will be illuminated in both old and modern senses with the return of Crown Of Light, a son-et-lumière piece featuring the jewel-like Lindisfarne gospels.

The Wroth Silver Ceremony will be held on Martinmas Eve before sun-rising. That's 11 November at approximately 6.45am for your smartphones. Britain's oldest recorded ceremony, dating back to 1086, upholds the fine English traditions of class and old money reverence we Brits hold so dear. Steel yourself against frost with a rum and hot milk in the local pub before the ceremony begins (you'll need a ticket). Then make your way to the Wroth Silver stone to witness each local parish pay the landowner, The Duke Of Buccleuch, for the right to drive cattle over his land. Then return to the pub for a full English, speeches and a toke on the churchwarden's pipe.

Sunday we worked for a few hours in the morning because our deliverable to the GAP office was due today. By the afternoon we felt ready for a break, so most of us went to the National Museum of Ethiopia, where the fossils of Lucy and other early hominds are kept. The Awash region of Ethiopia is home to many ancient fossil discoveries, and we were lucky to see some of them.
After the museum, a few of us went to a cafe across the street and ordered some coffee, tea and pastries. The doughnut was one of the best we've ever had!
After yesterday's excursion to the textile shops, the guys wanted to do a little masculine shopping, so off to Churchill Avenue we went in search of some swords and wooden objects. We pulled up to a small stretch of vendors which had many poor people asking for money outside of them. Several of the people were tiny children. After two weeks here, I still can't get used to that, and my heart goes out to every kid. They touch their hands to their lips, indicating, "Give me food," and hold their palms open, ready for us to place something in it. But we don't, because we don't really have food with us, and if we give anything, we will immediately be swarmed.
And that's exactly what happened. After about 45 minutes of shopping and haggling prices with the help of our local guide Mebrat, we got in the van and all the beggars pressed up against the sides of the vehicle, talking through the windows, asking for food, or to sell us one more item. I closed my eyes, I could not look at them. I had to look away.
We drove off to dinner, to a comfortable night in our lovely hotel, to a night full of dreams.

I grew up in bessborough place at the back of our house and Grosvenor road and bessborough gardens was a fantastic playground called trinity mews it had a paddling pool sandpit football area and various things to climb on, such as a train , slide also as Wendy house. There were plants surrounding this wonderful play area, two playground attendants ,also a shelter for when it rained. The children were constantly told off by the playground keepers for touching the plants or kicking the ball out of the permitted area, there was hopscotch as well, all these play items were brick apart from the slide. Pollock was the centre of my universe and I felt sorry and still do for anyone not being born there. To this day I miss it and constantly look for images of the streets around there, my sister and me often go back to take a clumped of our beloved London. The stucco houses were a feature and the backs of the houses enabled parents to see there children playing, we use to call it the block as it was built in such a way

I was born in a prefab on Saunders street SE11 in the 60's, when I lived there, the road consisted of a few prefab houses, the road originally ran from Lollard street all the way thru to Fitzalan street. I went back there to have a look back in the early 90's but all that is left of the road is about 20m of road and the road sign.

John Rocque (c. 1709–1762) was a surveyor, cartographer, engraver, map-seller and the son of Huguenot émigrés. Roque is now mainly remembered for his maps of London. This map dates from the second edition produced in 1762. London and his other maps brought him an appointment as cartographer to the Prince of Wales in 1751. His widow continued the business after his death. The map covers central London at a reduced level of detail compared with his 1745-6 map.

Remixed. Wallpaper by Arthur Slenk
Arthur Slenk (1941) found two boxes of handwritten music sheets over twenty years ago, used by an amateur orchestra between 1872 and 1941. The documents had not seen daylight for almost half a century. Carefully, he started examining page upon page, discovering the genesis, the varying pressure of pen upon paper, a corrected error, a tiny ink stain where the pen had stumbled over a fibre, fingerprints, signs of wear in the corner where the sheet was flipped over – all these traces, suddenly revealing the obscure members of this amateur orchestra.
Arthur Slenk: "This work is my "magnus opus" - and I don't just give it to anybody. The designers at NLXL treated my designs with the respect I had hoped for. I am truly amazed by the end result." The sheet music was sorted into seperate envelopes, by subject, then finally pasted. Each design was critically examined, often followed by corrections. The artist worked on it every day. After seven years and 144 designs he considered this gigantic collage completed. NLXL has selected 8 of these designs for a new wallpaper collection. The result is simply incredible. New state of the art scan techniques have been developed to capture the depth of the paper clippings. The vintage feel of the yellowed paper combined with the history behind the sheet music makes it look like a historical document on a wall.

Music by Michael Buble, The Guess Who, Murray McLauchlan, Hagood Hardy and k.d. lang has made the list of Canada's five tastiest songs in honor of Thanksgiving on October 8, as selected by SOCAN, the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada.
The list, which SOCAN calls "a good side dish to any meal," features:
In a press release issued earlier today SOCAN also suggests Drake's "Thank Me Later " as a great appetizer to any Thanksgiving meal," and that it's "certain to get the gravy flowing."
We particularly recommend playing "The Practice" for granny to determine if this is true.
SOCAN chose what they did because "these five songs have achieved at least 100,000 domestic radio plays, demonstrating that Canada has a bountiful crop of world-class songwriters. Each song was chosen based on the number of plays it received and its relevance to Thanksgiving by its title or lyrics."
The non-profit organization, which collects fees for music creators and publishers, missed a glorious opportunity to go deeper into the gluttonous world of Canadian food songs, however.
Who can think of leftover turkey sandwiches without humming Fred Penner's "Sandwiches"? Meanwhile, rapper More or Les' new Mastication album is entirely about food, and features the appropriate song "Consumption" about gorging yourself. If that doesn't get you thinking about food, there's the entire Nickelback catalog -- it works well as a surrogate cheese plate.
Got a song you think deserves to be considered a Canadian Thanksgiving classic? Hit the comment section below.

I have explored the various ways line and colour can be used to represent space, depth, movement and repetition. The Bridget Riley exhibition at the MCA blew me away with her use of line, colour and size. I was amazed at how static forms could ignite sensations and movement. I knew that Emily Kane Kngwarreye also uses line and colour, but that she has a more organic approach. My work involved studying Riley's and Kngwarreye's art-making processes, then finding how best to marry the two styles. I used masking tape, which also provides additional depth.

Twitter has again tweaked its iPhone and Android apps, reviving a few "high-demand" features that were jettisoned from the previous versions, as described yesterday in Twitter's official blog.
Both apps have brought back the swipe shortcut. Swiping a tweet in your timeline now displays the toolbar of icons that let you reply to, retweet, share, or view the tweeter's profile all without having to exit the timeline.
And both versions have added a new alert to the "Find Friends" feature. Now when you tap on the feature at the bottom of the Discover tab, Twitter will specifically tell you that it's checking the contact list on your mobile device to see who's already on Twitter. You can then choose who you want to follow.
Sorry, Android users, but the other tweaks in the new 4.1 version apply only to the iPhone app.
Back in action on the iPhone is Twitter's copy-and-paste feature. You can once again copy and paste the text of tweets and entire user profiles just by pressing down on the content until the Copy button pops up.
The "share" buttons that appear when you view a tweet with a link now offer more options, including the ability to tweet, e-mail, or read the linked story at a later time. Pressing and holding down the actual link also displays a similar menu with options to tweet, copy, and mail the link, or open it directly in Safari.
Managing your direct messages is also easier. You can now mark all of your DMs as read in addition to deleting them one by one. And finally, you can alter the font size by tapping on the Me tab, opening Settings, and then tapping Advanced. Twitter offers sizes ranging from 14 to 20 points.
Oh, and Android users do get another bonus. The new version is now optimized for devices running Ice Cream Sandwich as well as the Kindle Fire and the Barnes & Noble Nook Color and Nook Tablet.
Twitter's iPhone version can be found in its usual perch at Apple's App Store. The Android app is nested at both Google's Android Market and the Amazon Appstore.
Twitter received a slew of complaints the last time it tweaked its iOS app. Many faithful users were upset over the new design and the removal of certain key features. Twitter seems to have acknowledged at least some of the negative feedback by bringing back a couple of those key features.

So, up until about four minutes ago, we were very optimistic about NBC's upcoming coverage of Formula One.
But they've already messed up, and it hasn't even been on the TV yet. Great start!
In an article announcing the coverage on their website, NBC Sports has a picture from this weekend's Korean Grand Prix, with the grammatically awful caption "Sebastian Vettel at the South Korean F1 Grand Prix is just one of Formula One's worldwide events."
First off, that grammar is giving me a migraine. Try reading it three times without having some sort of mental panic attack. Secondly, that helmet doesn't belong to Vettel. It belongs to his teammate, Mark Webber.
Are we being pedantic? You bet your ass we are. Is it necessary? For nit picky F1 fans who get angry at just the slightest inaccurate statement, it certainly is.

Fielder leads Tigers past Twins
Detroit, MI – Prince Fielder drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Minnesota Twins, 7-6, in the opener of a four-game series at Comerica Park.
With one out in the inning and runners on first and second, Fielder hit an infield single off Jared Burton (0-2), scoring Omar Infante, who singled to begin the frame.
Miguel Cabrera had a two-run home run and drove in three while Fielder drove in two runs for the Tigers, who have won three straight.
Detroit starter Rick Porcello surrendered five runs on 10 hits and a walk in five frames. Joaquin Benoit (1-0) pitched a flawless eighth and Jose Valverde was perfect in the ninth to notch his fifth save.
Josh Willingham had two home runs and four RBI while Joe Mauer and Brian Dozier drove in a run apiece for the Twins, who have lost nine straight games. Starter Scott Diamond gave up three runs on nine hits and a walk in 5 2/3 innings.
Cabrera's two-run smash came with one out in the first.
However, in the second, Morneau hit a ground rule double and later scored on a grounder by Dozier.
An inning later, Minnesota scored three runs. Pedro Florimon, Jamey Carroll and Mauer connected on three straight singles, with Mauer plating Florimon. Next was Willingham, who hammered a 1-1 pitch into the stands in left to give the Twins a 5-2 lead.
In the fifth, Avisail Garcia and Infante knocked back-to-back two-out singles and Torii Hunter drew a walk to load the bases. Cabrera's infield single scored Garcia, cutting the deficit to 5-3. Fielder, though, fouled out towards third to end the rally.
Willingham's second home run started the seventh for a 6-3 lead.
The Tigers responded in the bottom half. With Casey Fien pitching for Minnesota, Infante singled to lead off and Cabrera walked. Brian Duensing came in to relieve, but he gave up RBI singles to Fielder and Martinez.
Burton then replaced Duensing, but he allowed a double by Jhonny Peralta, who scored Fielder to tie the game. Burton then hit Matt Tuiasosopo in the foot to load the bases. However, he managed to get Brayan Pena and Andy Dirks to foul out to stop the surge.
Game Notes
Cabrera has six home runs and 13 RBI over the last four games. He also scored his 1,000th career run ... Peralta was 2-for-5. He has hit safely in 30 of his last 35 games and his .323 batting average leads among American League shortstops... The Twins have allowed 51 first-inning runs this season.

text: Is Law School for Me? By Richard DelliVeneri, J.D., Regis University Associate General Counsel Lawyers occupy a vital role in our society. Through their work they promote important social and economic purposes ranging from the protection of constitutional rights to the development of legal frameworks that foster the growth of business. And despite the many lawyer jokes that circulate among party goers, the legal profession in the United States still enjoys a good amount of prestige and attention. American TV is host to many hour-long, weekly dramas that offer a glimpse into the world of the legal profession. They often portray the lawyer's life as glamorous, intellectually stimulating, and most assuredly, financially rewarding. This image of the lawyer in the American media may contribute to the popularity of the profession and the large number of applicants to American law schools. The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) is an organization comprised of more than 200 law schools in the U.S. and Canada and is best known for administering the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). LSAC reported that about 86,600 applications were submitted to American Bar Association (ABA)-approved law schools for the fall 2009 entering class. According to LSAC's data, this represents an increase of about 4% from the applications submitted for the fall 2008 entering class. While becoming a lawyer may be alluring, deciding to attend law school shouldn't be taken lightly. The significant investment of time, energy, and money required for a law school education merits a decision only after careful deliberation. This workshop is intended to offer a strategy and resources to help you make that decision in an informed way. It covers the following topics: Understanding the career decision-making process; Why it's important to avoid taking short cuts in deciding to go to law school; Examining your motivations for wanting to go to law school; The need to learn about what lawyers do and strategies for acquiring that information; Researching economic trends in the legal profession; Understanding the nature and scope of career dissatisfaction among lawyers; Discovering what law school is like and what it takes to succeed there; Concluding remarks; Bibliography. Understanding the Career Planning Process Deciding to go to law school involves a crucial choice about the course of your career path. Like any other important decision you make, it requires a sufficient amount of information and sound analysis so that when you reach your decision, you can be assured you have made a choice that is informed, not arbitrary. The framework for the process of making that informed choice deserves some scrutiny. There are many models to describe the career planning process. One of them developed by JoAnn Harris-Bowlsbey, Margaret Dikel, and James P. Sampson, Jr. (2002)* offers an insightful way of looking at the constituent steps of the process. It is built around a simple, but dynamic seven-step process. The following discussion explores these seven steps. * This model is presented in The Internet: A Tool for Career Planning, by JoAnn Harris-Bowlsbey, Margaret Riley Dikel, and James P. Sampson, Jr., 2nd ed., National Career Development Association, 2002. Step One – Becoming Aware of a Need to Decide In this model the first step involves getting to the point of acknowledging a need to make a decision about your career. The underlying motivations for reaching this point can be numerous and complex. A traditional-aged college student may view this need to decide about a career path as a necessary step in transitioning from being a student with limited working experience to a member of the full-time, adult working population, dedicated to a specific occupational interest. Individuals with a working history in an occupation may come to the realization the work they are doing is no longer personally satisfying and wish to make a dramatic occupational change. Whatever the sources of the motivations are, at this first step in the process a voice from within is saying the time has come to make a decision about a future career path. Step Two – Self-Assessment Self-assessment is the second step in the process. Making an informed career decision requires an understanding and acknowledgment of your ABILITIES, SKILLS, INTERESTS, and VALUES. If you don't know your abilities and skills, how can you determine whether you're qualified to perform a job or market yourself as competent for the position? This self-knowledge also allows you to define the skills you don't possess so you can figure out how and where to obtain them in order to become qualified for a desired job where those missing skills are necessary. Your occupational interests also need to be identified. The work of some occupations may be naturally appealing, while others may not. Having some sense of what these interests are can be very helpful in the career planning and decision-making process. The same is true for the work-related values you possess. If earning a lot of money is high on your pantheon of values, you probably won't be interested in working for a nonprofit agency where high salaries are the exception, not the rule. You can't ignore getting a handle on your abilities, skills, interests, and values if you want to make an informed career decision. This step in the process is often accomplished through formal and informal assessment tools. The Center for Career and Professional Development at Regis University offers these tools to the University's students and alumni. With their help and a healthy dose of brutal honesty, you can reveal a deeper understanding of yourself that will be instrumental in guiding you through the third step of the process. Step Three – Identifying Occupational Alternatives This third step involves identifying occupational alternatives. These are the occupational options that may appeal to you based on your acknowledged abilities, skills, interests, and values. They are generally derived by examining the world of work to identify where your constellation of abilities, skills, interests, and values seems to fit. Resources linked to the results of the assessment tools mentioned above and career counseling sessions are often used to assist in identifying these alternatives. With so many career alternatives available in our economy, there are probably multiple options that could fit an individual. That's why it's advisable in this step of the process to identify at least several career alternatives. Identifying these alternatives does not involve making a decision about whether to pursue any of them as a career. At this point they are still only possibilities that end up on a list for further exploration. Step Four – Researching the Identified Alternatives Once a list of career alternatives has been developed, the process proceeds to the fourth step, which involves getting detailed information about each of the identified alternatives. This requires a good amount of research that can be conducted through a variety of resources, including literature available in libraries and through the Internet, and informational meetings with individuals who are engaged in these occupations. Thorough research is necessary to develop a full understanding of each occupation, unvarnished by the stereotypes we often pick up from the media and other sources that tend to offer only a superficial picture of what it's actually like to work in a given occupation. Step Five – Choosing Among the Identified Alternatives Armed with all of this information about each of the identified career alternatives, the career decision-maker now comes to step five in the process. This is the moment of truth when you deliberate and choose among the identified occupational alternatives. The object of this step of the process is to select a career path and commit to marshalling all of the time, energy, and resources needed to transform that aspiration into a reality. Steps Six and Seven – Creating and Implementing Strategies to Achieve the Occupational Objective The sixth and seventh steps in the process of this model of career planning and decision-making involve designing and implementing all of the strategies necessary to reach the occupational goal. If educational prerequisites are necessary, these steps would include completing the requisite courses, certification, or degree needed for entry to the occupation. A job search strategy and the marketing materials to promote it are also involved in these steps. This includes preparing a resume, appropriate cover letters, and executing a comprehensive networking strategy. The authors of this career planning model don't describe it as a one-way, linear process from step one through to step seven. Instead, they recognize that career decision-makers are likely to move back and forth through these steps. But at the core of each step in this process lies the essential element of information. It is the catalyst that makes possible an informed career decision, which is the ultimate goal. In the book, Should You Really Be a Lawyer?, which is included in the bibliography at the end of this workshop, the authors mention that career development guru and author, Richard N. Bolles, writes in his popular career book, What Color Is Your Parachute?, that each of us can expect to work about 80,000 hours over the course of our lives. He also speculates that most people probably spend more time planning for a summer vacation than trying to figure out what kind of work to pursue for those 80,000 hours. In the context of the career planning model described above, this amounts to proceeding from the first step directly to the fifth step, without exploring any of the information that would be developed in the intermediate steps. It should be obvious that making an informed decision is usually preferable, especially with respect to career decisions about our working roles where we can expect to spend upwards of 80,000 hours of our lives. The point of this discussion has been to focus on the need to spend the time and energy to explore all of the steps in this process and avoid taking short cuts. This is especially true for those of you who have reached the decision to attend law school without having done these things. Why It's Important to Avoid Taking Short Cuts in Deciding to Go to Law School There are a number of reasons why deciding to go to law school isn't the kind of decision where you want to take short cuts: It's challenging –Law school requires a minimum of three years of intense and challenging study. To some, it can be considerably more challenging than their undergraduate school experience. Remember, it's a professional school program. It's competitive – Competition to get in to law school can be intense, especially at the nation's top schools. The University of California at Berkeley Boalt Hall School of Law, one of the nation's top law schools, reported receiving 7,960 applications for the fall 2009 entering class of 292 students. The Stanford Law School, another highly rated law school, reports receiving over 4,000 applications each year for an entering class of about 170 students. If you want to learn more about how GPAs and LSAT scores are viewed by law schools, go to the website of the LSAC, www.lsac.org. By clicking on the "Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools" and "UGPA/LSAT Search" links, you can access a search tool that allows you to use a GPA and LSAT score to identify schools that admitted designated percentages of applicants with that combination of credentials. Once you get in to law school, the competition doesn't stop there. Most law schools generate a class ranking list of students based on their cumulative grade point averages. This class ranking can become an important element in a job search for a summer associate position during law school and for a permanent position after graduation. Many prestigious law firms focus their recruiting only on the top 10% - 15% of the class. It's Expensive –The University of Denver Sturm College of Law, a private ABA-accredited law school reports that tuition costs about $36,500 annually. This does not include books, fees, or cost of living expenses. State operated, ABA-approved law schools typically cost less for students who qualify for resident tuition. For example, the University of Colorado School of Law reports that the annual cost for tuition and fess is about $29,000 for resident students. It's not uncommon these days for graduates of private law schools to generate law school education debts of $100,000 or more. The rule of thumb suggested by the University of Denver on its law school website is about $125 per month of loan repayments for each $10,000 of debt on a 10-year loan. This level of post-graduate debt repayment can bring with it significant consequences. It can affect where you live, what you drive, how much money you can save, and other important aspects of daily life. It's not over when you graduate – When you've finished with law school, there's still one challenging academic hurdle that must be crossed – the bar exam. Bar exams are administered by each state and are usually offered only twice a year, in February and July. Passing rates vary, depending on the state where you take it. If you want to get a clearer picture of the difficulty of the exam in a particular state, go to the website of the National Conference of Bar Examiners, www.ncbex.org. There you will find statistics on the passing rates, including those of first-time exam takers. Examine Your Motivations for Going to Law School If you're interested in attending law school, one of the self-assessments you should complete is taking a sheet of paper and writing down all of the reasons why you want to go to law school, and then ranking them in order of importance. This exercise can be particularly valuable if you take the time and effort to carefully consider and articulate your reasons. If you find yourself having difficulty identifying your reasons, or if the ones you manage to come up with seem superficial, you've just revealed a weak link in your career decision-making process that deserves more attention. You may be wondering about the kinds of motivations some people express for wanting to go to law school. Here are some examples: "A degree obtained in history, political science, English, or a similar liberal arts curriculum doesn't offer many appealing job prospects. Law, on the other hand, can open the doors to a lot of well-paid jobs." Considering the breadth of occupational areas where people with law degrees work, there's certainly some basis for the notion that a law degree can open many doors. What Can You Do With a Law Degree? The Lawyer's Career Change Handbook and More Than 300 Things You Can Do With a Law Degree, two of the books listed in the bibliography at the end of this workshop, offer numerous examples where individuals with law degrees work in and outside traditional law practice. But opting to go to law school just because it appears to offer more appealing job prospects than a liberal arts degree reflects a rather superficial analysis. There are many individuals with liberal arts degrees who are happily employed in the world of work at well-paying jobs. If you're curious about some of the career possibilities for graduates with degrees in liberal arts majors, take a look at the resources from Career Services that link majors to careers. You can find them on the Regis University Center for Career and Professional Development in the Career Planning Guide. "Becoming a lawyer is a family tradition and expectation." If you're going to spend at least 80,000 hours of your life working for a living, it's probably better for your personal happiness and emotional well-being to voluntarily choose your occupation. Families can and do have a profound influence on career decision-making. However, it's important to keep in mind that career choice is a very personal matter that should not be delegated to someone else. Otherwise well-meaning family members should concentrate on living their own lives, not directing the career choices of others. This subject, and strategies for dealing with the unwanted influence of others, is discussed in depth in Hand Me Down Dreams-How Families Influence Our Career Paths and How We Can Reclaim Them, another of the books listed in the bibliography at the end of this workshop. "Receiving a high score on the LSAT." The LSAT is not a vocational assessment tool designed to tell you whether a career in law is right for you. Instead, it attempts to assess your aptitude for law school academic study. If you want to know whether a career as a lawyer suits you, you should do some self-assessment to understand your skills, abilities, interests, and values to determine whether they are consistent with life as a lawyer. The Center for Career and Professional Development at Regis University offers help in this area of self-assessment to the University's students and alumni. The Need to Learn about What Lawyers Do and Strategies for Acquiring That Information An important part of the process for exploring whether a career in law is right for you requires answers to two crucial questions: Do I know what lawyers do? Do I have enough information to know whether I would enjoy being a lawyer? Much of what many people know about what lawyers do comes from the media. Lawyers are frequently the subject of TV and movie dramas. Unfortunately, the dramatic depictions of lawyers in these contexts are superficial snapshots. Watching My Cousin Vinny or Law and Order doesn't offer a realistic view of a lawyer's day-to-day work. You have to remember these media representations are first and foremost intended as entertainment. Naturally, to draw large audiences and keep their attention, the producers of these TV shows and movies generally focus on creating high-drama. But much of law practice isn't as glamorous as the media makes it out to be. The long hours of legal research and writing and the tedious review and analysis of voluminous documents can't be shown in a one- or two-hour drama that needs to excite its audience. You have to get beyond the myths about law practice to understand what much of lawyering is all about. A good place to start getting that information is O*NET, at online.onetcenter.org. This is an occupational research tool that offers a considerable amount of information about occupations. Simply click on the "Find Occupations" link and use the keyword "lawyers" to find summary and detailed reports about this occupation. Among the information provided, you will find details about the tasks performed, knowledge, skills, and abilities required, and the context in which the work is done. Books are another rich resource for obtaining a fuller picture of what lawyers do. The Official Guide to Legal Specialties-An Insider's Guide to Every Major Practice Area, by Lisa L. Abrams, is a book listed in the bibliography at the end of this workshop. It offers readers an opportunity to learn about a broad spectrum of legal specialties, with chapters devoted to each of them (e.g., antitrust law, civil litigation, criminal law, etc.). Included within these chapters is a section entitled, "Life as a . . .," which provides a glimpse of what it's like to practice law in that specialty. While this book isn't intended to be an exhaustive discussion about each of the areas of legal specialty, it does provide an excellent starting place for collecting information about what it's like to be a lawyer in the various practice areas covered. It also offers a convenient resource for comparing and contrasting life as a lawyer in each of these specialties. Learning about what lawyers do from books, magazines, and websites is very useful, but your exploration should not stop there. Talking to lawyers to learn about what they do is another essential part of this process. This includes seeking out informational interviews with lawyers. These are meetings with a lawyer, either face-to-face or by phone, that last anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes or longer, depending on the time the lawyer interviewee has available. It's an opportunity for you to ask lawyers how they got interested in the legal profession, what they like and dislike about it, and what information and advice they may have for you in terms of your own career choice. If you're uncertain about how to arrange for and conduct informational interviews, there are resources you can consult for help. For example, Quintcareers.com has a comprehensive tutorial on informational interviews available at www.quintcareers.com/informational_interviewing.html. There are other ways to learn about what lawyers do. Visiting a courthouse to observe courtroom proceedings offers an opportunity to see firsthand what lawyers do in pretrial and trial proceedings. But remember, time spent in the courtroom typically represents a very limited part of the trial lawyer's activities. To get a more accurate picture, you could spend some time shadowing a lawyer at his or her office. An even closer look could be obtained by getting an internship or offering to volunteer for some work at a law office. Observing the work of lawyers over an extended time frame within their office environment and culture could provide an up-close and personal perspective that would be difficult to achieve by other means. The important thing to remember from all of these suggestions is that before you make a commitment to attend law school to become a lawyer, you need to have a thorough understanding about what lawyers do and you need enough information to know whether you would enjoy being one. You probably wouldn't consider making a commitment to marry or enter into a business venture with someone without getting to know as much as you can about that person. The decision to go to law school deserves the same deliberate approach. Researching Economic Trends in the Legal Profession An essential step in exploring a career field is performing labor market information research. An otherwise appealing occupational alternative could lose its luster upon learning that the employment and earnings prospects for that occupation aren't very good. Having some idea about those prospects before embarking on a career path can help avoid the disappointment and other more serious consequences that often come when unrealistic expectations aren't realized. Resources for conducting labor market information research about the legal profession are within easy reach. For example, America's CareerInfoNet, at www.acinet.org, offers employment and wage trend information for lawyers from the U.S. Department of Labor. Simply follow the "Occupation Information" and "Occupation Profile" links to the keyword search field, where you can search for "lawyers". You'll be asked to select a state and to then check boxes for state and national wages and employment trends. When you view the wages information, keep in mind that the information presented is aggregate data for the profession as a whole. If you'd like to get wage information related to entry-level positions, you should consult the website of the National Association for Law Placement (NALP). NALP has a wealth of information available for pre-law students, including wage data. You can find the pre-law resources at National Association for Law Placement, Pre-law Resources , and the wage information at NALP Salaries & Compensation. When you examine the employment trend information for lawyers on America's CareerInfoNet, one interesting exercise is to compare a state's average annual job openings due to growth and net replacements with (i) the total number students graduating from law schools in that state and (ii) an estimate of the total number of persons who may pass the bar exam in that state based on recent results. These figures can offer some idea, albeit in a rough order of magnitude, of the level of competition for lawyer jobs in that state's market. Understanding the Nature and Scope of Career Dissatisfaction Among Lawyers Any discussion about considering a career as a lawyer would not be complete without a reference to the literature on the subject of dissatisfaction in the legal profession. Much has been written on this subject, based not only on anecdotal information, but also formal surveys that have been conducted. Becoming familiar with the reasons for the dissatisfaction can be an important element in getting a clearer picture about some characteristics of law practice that have caused lawyers to leave the profession. It's useful to know if those characteristics would be vexing to you, annoying but tolerable, or of no consequence at all. Dissatisfaction in the legal profession has a broad spectrum of causes. Included among them are long hours of work, stress that comes from the adversarial nature of many areas of law practice, disappointment with the level of financial rewards, and unexpected job insecurity. It's not uncommon for lawyers in private practice who work as associate attorneys in law firms to be required to generate 1,800 to 2,000 "billable hours" per year. A "billable hour" is an hour of work for which a client is actually billed. Spending eight hours at work doesn't ordinarily amount to an equal number of billable hours. In fact, studies show it takes about three hours of office work to generate two hours of billable work. If an individual works eight hours per day, five days per week for each of the 52 weeks in a year, that will amount to 2,080 hours. Assuming it takes about 12 hours at work to generate eight billable hours, it should become apparent that for some lawyers long hours of work don't represent an unjustified complaint in order to achieve 2,000 billable hours per year. Spend some time learning about the nature and scope of career dissatisfaction among lawyers. Included in the bibliography at the end of this workshop are several online resources to get you started. You can also do a search on Google using the phrase "lawyer dissatisfaction" to generate more sources of information. The point of this exercise is not to discourage you from considering a legal career. Instead, it's intended to provide the balance that's necessary to obtain a full and complete picture about what it's like to practice law. By all means, find out all you can about what lawyers like about their profession, but don't ignore the other side of the coin. Discovering What Law School Is Like and What It Takes to Succeed There Of course, the first step in becoming a lawyer is attending and successfully completing law school. Having some knowledge about what that experience will be like is another key piece of making an informed decision. You can get some of that knowledge by reading relevant resources. How to Succeed in Law School and The Practice of Law School-Getting In and Making the Most of Your Legal Education, two of the books listed in the bibliography at the end of this workshop, offer valuable information and perspectives on this subject. Visiting law schools and sitting in on some law school classes would also be advisable. Witnessing firsthand what goes on in a law school classroom can offer a perspective unavailable from words on a printed page. Additionally, talk to law students about their experiences. Arrange informational interviews with a few law students so you can get an insider's view about what it's like to be a law student, especially at law schools you may be considering. Concluding Remarks Lawyers play an enormously important role in our culture. Each and every day, they make invaluable contributions to the economic, social, and political fabric of American life. When you consider the importance of this role, it's no wonder that many people aspire to become lawyers. But, the legal profession isn't for everyone. The results of lawyer satisfaction surveys demonstrate that many who chose this profession ultimately recognized a need to leave traditional law practice to pursue another occupation. For some of them, the problem originated with a failure to make an informed career decision. The purpose of this workshop has been to focus on the need for making an informed decision about going to law school to become a lawyer. Some strategies for achieving that goal have been suggested, all with the intent of gathering meaningful information for the decision-making process and avoiding the superficial portraits and myths about lawyers conveyed by the media. Admittedly, the strategies suggested in this workshop require time and effort. But considering all of the consequences that follow from pursuing a law school education, that time and effort will be well spent and very likely enhance the quality of career decision you make.

Meet Lauren WetmoreThursday, June 14th, 2012
In front of the Cloud Factory behind Carnegie Museum of Art
Welcome, Lauren. Tell us your official title, and what are some of your responsibilities at the museum?
As the curatorial assistant for the 2013 Carnegie International, I'm here to help the three intrepid curators, the ever-poised curatorial assistant in contemporary art, Amanda Donnan, and all the unflagging members of the CMA staff turn a vast historical precedent and some crazy new ideas into a survey exhibition of contemporary art that is going to knock your socks off.
One of my favorite parts of the job is coordinating events at the Lawrenceville Apartment; a satellite space for the International, where local and visiting artists, writers, and filmmakers can present new and ongoing projects to members of the Pittsburgh cultural community. Just recently we had Suzie Silver from The Institute of Extraterrestrial Sexuality and Jasdeep Khaira of Encyclopedia Destructica present readings and video projects from their new book Strange Attractors: Investigations in Non-Humanoid Extraterrestrial Sexualities. The book is full of all manner of intergalactic and interspecies perversities, dreamed up by a wide range of contributors, including many from the Pittsburgh area.

It is estimated that 4 out of 10 people choose to supplement their diet, and for good reason. Industrialised farming, depleted soils, processed foods, environmental toxins, lifestyle factors and the stress of modern living, means that although diet comes first and foremost, health supplements can play a valuable role in helping you to maintain long term health.
Choosing the right products from the plethora of supplements on the market can be challenging. At Seventh Wave, we feel that the choice is a simple one when you look at the evidence.
Broad spectrum supplements are in a wholefood, and food state form
They are the most complete, natural and effective way to supplement your diet
Synthetic Supplements simply don't compare.
The term "broad spectrum" has been in wide use in the medical profession for many years. Broad spectrum antibiotics were seen as a revolution for health care, as they have activity against a wide range of bacteria. (The over use of antibiotics is a subject for another article!)
Broad spectrum is defined as widely applicable or effective, showing a wide variety – a broad spectrum array.
In the supplements industry, broad spectrum supplements and nutrition are literally a revolution in the way we approach achieving optimum health. They have an even more important role to fill in light of the ever increasing demands that modern living places on our body.
They posses a huge array of nutrients in a form that your body recognises and readily absorbs. They are incredibly complex, yet perfectly balanced and bioavailable.
You might think that most supplements are "natural", this however is far from the case. They are on the whole laboratory produced, synthetic replicas of nature. Whilst the atoms and molecules may look the same on paper, they are the chemical forms of a substance, and have lost their natural complexity and potency.
The Natural Components of Broad Spectrum Nutritional Supplements
Vitamins, minerals (naturally chelated), trace elements, micro nutrients, amino acids, polysaccharides, essential fatty acids, nucleic acids, sterols, carbohydrates, fats, protein and fibre. All of these nutrients work with total synergy to create a potent source of nutrition that cannot be matched by synthetic supplements.
The Benefits of Seventh Wave Broad Spectrum Supplements
* Food state, wholefood*
* Dense nutrition
Readily recognised by your body – natural form
* Absorbed better by your body
* Nutrition is retained within your body for longer
* Smaller amounts have far greater impact (mg content is a misleading aspect of synthetic supplements)
* Less expensive, no longer do you need to buy separate vitamins, minerals and amino acids to meet your body's basic needs
* Naturally chelated minerals
* Vitamins supported by their necessary phytonutrients
* 100% additive free
* Non-pasteurised
"Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food" Hippocrates – the Father of Modern Medicine

So much news passes before our collective eyes every day that we couldn't possibly cover it all. Mostly because much of it isn't worth covering! But here are a some borderline tidbits we passed on, just in case.
FCC Chairman Gives Sensible Advice to Kids
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski gave a few prepared remarks at a back-to-school even in Washington and asked that kids consume their media in moderation, the internet's wonderful but maybe don't overdo it, and also please don't text and drive. Sounds good! And hopefully we're still at a point where being sensible isn't news. Just barely. [NY Times]
Auckland, New Zealand Hands Out Free Wi-Fi Like Candy
Congratulations, Auckland commuters! Your city has granted you free Wi-Fi for your public transit system. You get three sessions, 30 minutes a day. Worth noting: this is somehow rugby-related. Then again, when you think about it, isn't everything? [ComputerWorld]
Lowes Will Start Using iPhones to Check You Out
Not in a pervy way! They're going to swipe your cards through iPhones in a set-up similar to what's used at the Apple Store. They're not the first to do it, they won't be the last, but it'll sure make it easier to get out of the store with that step-ladder in a hurry. [Bloomberg, Photo credit: Chris Keane]
Germany Is Cracking Down on Beer Bikes

Alright. I guess it's time to finally edit the first post in the hope that it will allow the new thumbnail image for my sketchbook to display correctly. This is a subtle revision of the previous version of the "Antarean," a bluish being seen by an experiencer during what was described as a vivid dream. I just hope my editing of the post doesn't adversely affect the forum's ability to recover the old image files from the first several pages of the sketchbook, which seem to have gone missing. I encourage forum users to right-click and save copies of my drawings to their own hard drives for personal viewing. I consider some of my art to be of potential historical importance from a research standpoint. If you feel the same, or simply enjoy looking at my work, please save copies of these files to your own digital collection. - David W. Chace (Dahami), August 26, 2015

This is some old stuff I have. There are some acrylic paintings did in the nineties, and some scans of pencil sketches. In some instances I just used my old digital camera to photograph the art (not the best lighting). My scanner is hooked up to an old computer and its card uses an ISA slot, so I don't set it up very often. When I do maybe I'll put up some more recent work. A couple of the images were colored in Photoshop after scanning.
