TEAM Santa Rosa Economic Development Council finally reached a consensus on the next steps it will take during a Jan. 17 board of directors meeting.
Economic development consultant Tom Ticknor was hired in November to evaluate TEAM Santa Rosa and make recommendations to improve its business operations and to improve its public image. Two of the recommendations have been labeled the Ticknor Plans 1 and 2. Plan 1 includes Ildi Hosman, TEAM's public affairs director, assuming a more active role in communicating to the public the successes of TEAM and what the organization is doing. Plan 2 recommended hiring a CEO to be the "head" of TEAM.
These two plans were discussed at length among the board of directors with input from County Commissioner Bob Cole. Questions were asked about just what the county commissioners are looking for in order to renew TEAM's contract for another two years. Commissioners denied TEAM's request for a two-year renewal in September, but granted a six-month extension to give TEAM time to make some improvements.

Florida lawmakers will be hearing from the state's top elections official about what improvements may be needed for future Election Days.
Although last month's election went quite smoothly compared to past Florida elections, there were problems in parts of the state where some voters were compelled to stand in long lines during early voting days. Gov. Rick Scott subsequently urged lawmakers to look at what changes may be needed to a 2011 law that reduced early voting days and may have contributed to the painfully long lines in some areas of the state. Scott faces re-election in 2014.
Secretary of State Ken Detzner is slated to appear Tuesday before committees in both the House and Senate to report on his findings.
Nearly 8.5 million Floridians cast ballots this year.

and the little moron couldn´t leak this PRIOR to the election?Him and Boener must GO or it is third party.More of US than there is of them. Let the GOP establishment split their vote with the DEMS and let true AMERICANS galvanize together for a take "America back 3rd party" starring Allen West, Sarah Palin, Paul Ryan, Jim DeMint, Trey Gowdy and Michelle Bachman.
Petraeus has done the only honorable thing he could do in this mess, tell zero´s thugs to shove the blackmail threat if he doesn´t take the fall for zero, admit the truth, resign, and now....sing like a bird at the hearings.
Let the Record Show .... this timeline!And anyone who thinks Mueller didn´t tell Obama immediately that a scandal was about to surface that could blow up in his face just before the election is an ostrich, or a member of the MSM!
#1, leaking is not always the right thing to do. Cantor had no way of knowing if his conversation was truth, a trick, or what. He notified the FBI. You would have had him call the NYTimes?BTW, Cantor is no "moron". And, there won´t be a third party soon enough to be effective, particularly with some of the names you included.
You can´t tell me that Obama didn´t know.
Why are we all playing this same game again? All this back-n-forth about what someone knew is just a smoke screen to continue the cover-up beyond a point of interest.
Petraeus will be de-briefed, stripped of security clearance and forbidden to testify.
Is Mueller the new J. Edgar Hoover, with all the dirt swept into his dustpan?
Cantor was not forceful enough in the cheerleading part that involves elections. Pelosi, et al had all the MSM paying attention to her pressers no matter how inane they turned out to be. Cantor and Boener and McConnell should have been on those Capitol Hill steps every other day with the dirt this administration has been perpetrating right in front of our faces and the ones happening out of earshot of the American people. As a social conservative right winger, I will NOT take the blame for the ineptitude of the GOP and BTW Priebus too, who didn´t get out the ground game whatsoever. The spokespeople for our side were Dick Morris and Karl Rove for God sake and heaven help us. Never said the post mortem was pretty , but it is truthful!!
Agree #9. THEY had Debbie Washerwoman Shiltz out there and WE had Reince Priebus.Talk about a mismatch!
#1 I love the people you mentioned but "bigger conservatives" than you have said "no 3rd Party" - Limbaugh & Levin. Republicans much teach America & "old" GOP what it is all about - Founding Father principles,military strength,spiritual history of America & why our nation is under discipline. Look at nations who are failing & what their principles & actions show in the past & present. It is very easy to see & understand if explained so that dumb sheeple can hear it. Explain late term abortions,inner city trash,teen age degeneracy,city crime,child abuse - these are things most sheeple don´t even know exist. It´s disgraceful but should be shown all over this country. America is not beautiful anymore.
#11I wish our most recent campaign would have done what you so succinctly said!!They really should have taken the "calls" from Rush and Mark.

First let me congratulate Daniel, took a wee while to get it but I totally love it now. From what I'm hearing, some other people submitted similar ideas, so it must have been something people had in their mind.
And another thing people should mind, one of our own has won the contest. A fan like you or me. I think this has helped me appreciate the figure more too.
Making sure the vintage line is fully reproduced in the classics line
Positive trades; Nightcraw
Congratulations, Daniel!
MY TOP 5 MOST WANTED MOTU Classics:
Ice Armor He-Man, Rio Blast, Multi-Bot, Ninjor, Sagitar
The more I look at him, the more I like the idea of it being a ghostly army that comes out of the walls of Grayskull when it's been entered and under attack- much more exciting than one of the Sorceress' boring ol' forcefields!!!
Top Thirteen Most-Wanted: Double Trouble, Entrapta, Sagitar, Quakke, Lord Masque, Eldor, Negator, Peekablue, Mermista, Granita, Dragstor, Crita, Tung Lashor
Come on guys, stop posting opinions, that's shameful!
Thanks to everyone for another amazing Power-Con!
Press down on dragon's head. It will bite off your frickin' fingers !!!
I am trying to find out TRUTH and FACTS. I am reading over on other sites that the CAC figure resembles another figure. Can someone address this?
He needs a Point Dread hat, Talon Fighter pet and a turret for an arm :P
Oh, and another thought I just had: the old Sorceress would use forcefields to defend Grayskull when she needed to. What if Sorceress Teela put her Captain Of The Guard experience to great use as the new Guardian Of Grayskull and creates these guys as her new "guard" when Grayskull is under attack?
Top Thirteen Most-Wanted: Double Trouble, Entrapta, Sagitar, Quakke, Lord Masque, Eldor, Negator, Peekablue, Mermista, Granita, Dragstor, Crita, Tung Lashor
That is the risk in heavily using an existing concept in the creation of your character... You take the chance that somebody else used it first.
I doubt Daniel even ever saw that, but without it being a 100% newly created character, there are always going to be comparisons.

The blond hair is hideous but it's a cute, fun take on the cornerstone of the MOTU universe. I wish he came with a Point Dread hat and pet Talon Fighter!
I once drew a creature based on the Snake Mountain playset's face, so I can see where the designer was coming from
Masque, did he end up looking how you intended? Better, worse, same?
Thanks to everyone for another amazing Power-Con!
The only thing I would change is the hair (making it white or less of it) but other that its a unique character

The third largest city in Varisia, Riddleport is also the most notorious. It is here that the machinations of an ancient race, once again boil up out of the Darklands and into the light. The sinister plots of the subterranean underwriters manifest!
Marcus casts a dissaproving look at the Dwarf at the absurd Dwarf lying on his ass, Either he's on pesh or dying addled his brain. What he hells just came from his mouth?!
He then looks down to the Tiefling, struggling with the Scimitar on his neck, Killed him with a head shot,aye? Don't answer that. If you move or speak, your head comes off
Keeping pressure on the blade, Ascaria, would you mind grabbing the Manacles off my butt-pack and cuff this demon. Maybe we'll have a substitute competitior for Saul after all, IF this one hasn't any way to redeem himself.
Ascaria raises an eyebrow at the dwarf's verbose introduction. "Well met Grumm Gaer. I am Ascaria de Vintre. If you were on your way to the Gold Goblin anyway, you might want to come with us as that is where we are headed."
Turning to Marcus she adds with a smile "Looks like there is someone who is at least as talkative as yourself." She chuckles and then retrieves the manacles and binds the Tiefling if he does not resist.
At least? He then switches to broken elven
Ethaniel stares at Grumm. How does one respond to such strange language? "I...my...how interesting..." Looking back towards the tiefling prisoner, Ethaniel continues. Will we...will the gendarmes take issue with us bringing a this one back to the Goblin, bound?"
Tippy, who has been slowly and carefully sneaking about, whacks the tiefling over the head with his crowbar, knocking him unconscious. 1d4 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (5) = 9 non-lethal.
"What? Some folks helping their intoxicated and passed out friend back to our flop so he can sleep off his bender? The gendarmes will thank us for not leaving him behind for them to throw in the tank."
He puts the crowbar away. "I'd say we're almost ready to leave, as soon as everybody here gets what they deserve..." Tippy resumes his hard looks at Iscarel.
Marcus slings the unconscious Tiefling over his shoulder, Let's go. Iscarel, on the way back, would you know anyone who can take these extra armors and weapons off our hands atfair price?
Tossing the purse aside and turning his back on the dwarf, Iscarel winces and gives the arrow one last tug, cursing under his breath in Elven, and prying it free, slumping against the wall in exhaustion. "Such dear friends I have to chide me on the finer points of morality with a thrice-damned arrow in my leg."
"Most of the pigmeat goes to Crooge, these days. Weapons and all. Bastard makes a killing off of the scrap." he says, without making eye contact. "Let me think... Grab the Dwarf and follow me."
Kn:Local to find the closest fence or armorer. (Taking 10 for 16)
Ethaniel cannot mask his scowl. "Has your wound not been sealed by the grace of the Savored Sting? As often as you invoke Calistria's name, why neglect to thank her for the arrow that did not fell you? Rail against us, but give respect to your Lady. She remembers slights better than any"
And have I been a good servant? Surely not. Ethaniel turns away, uncomfortably. Where does this bile come from? The half-elf grumbles quietly; gradually, his mutterings take on the lyrical nature of the Elven language.
"No no no. Tried Pesh once. Did NOT like it. Horrible story, bro." Grumm says to Marcus.
He faces Ascaria. "Gladly, Milady."
He then annoyingly grins at Iscarel, for he knew he had won over most of the group.
As your looting the bodies, healing up and knocking the tiefling back into a state of compliance, folks are sticking their noses out their doors or peering through their windows but no alarm is yelled out nor is help called for. You get back to the gate and the guards smirk as you approach and move to block your path.
"May I ask why you are carrying a body, albeit a demonsprog, that for all but the most discerning eye, looks to be dead."
Marcus not wanting a repeat of the incident at the Boneyard, remains silent and hopes Iscarel or Tippy can come up with a convincing lie. He stands tall, despite the weight, and readjusts his burden, keeping the manacles covered with his cloak.
Dead drunk actually, boss.
Just act like dumb muscle, let our snake oil salesman do the talking
So are you remaining silent or saying that which is emboldened. I see no quotation marks so am I to assume that's your internal monologue.
Yep. He was gonna speak, but stopped himself. Wrong quote markings.
"He might be a demonsprog, but he's still a stand-up fellow, just a little misunderstood is all. Some losers in the Lub thought they could jump him, just cause of the horns, but we're bringing him home to get patched up. See, he's not dead." Tippy carefully lifts the tiefling's head to show he's still breathing.
Bluff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Sigh. Thre must be a nasty tremor of nerves in his vice giving him away.
"Oh. Hey man. Name's Grumm." says the dwarf in an optimistic tone as he reaches out his hand for a shake.
Ethaniel, seeming to take a cue from Marcus, stands looking forward and not saying a word. His focus seems to break as Grumm addresses the guards.
"Ahh, hail to you Grumm. Why my friend are you you also smeared in blood?"
Sense Motive verse Tippy 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
"Very good of you master halfling. I tell you not many folks here would intervene in the lub let alone the city. Well hurry along then and get him tended to."
The guards step aside and allow your party through so that you might get the injured tiefling some aid. (nicely done master halfling) As you gain enough distance Tippy no doubt receives some slaPs on the back for his deception. You look to Iscarel whom takes the lead to find a fence he once was aware of.
"Ehh... Rough day. This place is nuttier than Five Kings, and that's something. Long story short, These guys saved my a$$ big time."
As the party is barely out of earshot, Ascaria bursts into laughter slapping Tippy's back. "Master halfling, woohoo! See, he's not dead..." she says in a good-natured immitation of the halfling's trembling voice. "That guy would even have waved us through if the tiefling's head had come off." She smiles at her companions. "I have to say, I never expected to have such a good time with you lot."
Marcus, glad everyone was ok and honestly, enjoying Ascaria's company, readjusts the tiefling again. Nice to see everyone enjoying themselves, his voice dripping with sarcasm and the scowl was back. Just for the record, I don't really intend to just give this tiefling to Saul. I'm bringing him back to question if that WAS just a mugging. Our drinks were spiked remember. Though this fool can fight well so he might put on a good show but he's still a person, scumbag or otherwise. I'm starting to think we should question him before we get back, then let the Gendarmes have him. Anyone else got a thought?
"Yes. Well done, Tippy." Ethaniel nods in agreement at Ascaria's comment, but nervously checks over his shoulder to see if the guards are looking after the group. "On your words at the gate just now, and on your warning to us when the thugs were on our tail."
In response to Marcus's proposed plan, Ethaniel does little more than grunt. "Fine by me." As long as I don't have to do the handing off of the fool. Gendarmes...
"Well, back there, with all the excitement after the fight... I don't know, it sounded like a good idea to give him to Bojask. But you are right, Marcus. He still is a person and not an animal. The question is, however, if he will be treated better by the gendarmes. Demonkin are often met with outright hostility even by those who should know better. Maybe we could also try and win him over to our side? If he really was part of a scheme to get at us, chances are that he will be very susceptible to a little persuasion and a little more coin... Maybe Saul would be willing to hire him as a bouncer."
Marcus smiles at the idea. Now THAT has merit. You are far smarter than I, pretty lady. Fine, lets offer this fool an even chance at redemption and if he cannot find a new path. Then the pit for him. Fair choice if I ever saw one.
Having decided to go along with Ascaria's plan, Marcus straightens under the load an makes a beeline for the Goblin, stopping only if Iscarel comes up with a fence so they could offload their spoils.
And what if he's a hopeless addict? What if he harbors resentment covered with a gracious lie? Will we want him at our backs? Ethaniel looks askance at Marcus and Ascaria, but does not voice his objection. Gendarmes are best avoided though. No friends of ours. No friends of mine...
Ethaniel looks back at the dwarf, then at Iscarel. What do we want with the stout one? None of us seem to know him from a bilge rat, but here he is along with us all the same. Maybe Iscarel fancies him another bouncer...but it sounded like he had a greater plan...
Iscarel leads you to a place he believes to be a fence. Twin Strike Smithing fronted by a hulking half orc blacksmith roughly introducing himself as Woriuk upon meeting you. An imposing sight with an upper body forged by his hard labor he is short of word and quickly asks your business.
Just here to sell, friend. Maybe shop a bit as well. Here's what we need to offload: Loot: Tiefling had MW Heavy Flail (315gp), Scale Mail (50gp), 360gp. Junky had a Light Mace (5gp), Sickle (6gp), Leather Armor (10gp), Potion of Feather Fall (50gp). Think you can help us out?
Did we bring the unconscious tiefling inside with us?
Yep. But if this dude is a fence that shouldn't worry him
"Amin? Amin valin varna a'kirma amada tuulo'ho malda a'kell. Lo kostale N'ndengina. Um ho'heta?" he says in a hushed tone... breaking into common. "Now that would be an act of charity." he says, shaking his head.
"Oh me? Hole 78, North Eastern section, Druma district, Five Kings... near my aunt Zargi's place." Grumm replies with ignorant calmness, taking the question quite seriously.
While the others show the loot to the half-orc, Ascaria takes a look at the weapons and armor on display. After a while a certain item catches her eye, small and half hidden under a large wooden shield. It is a fine sickle, with a five inch grip of dark wood. A quick test with her thumb shows that the blade is razor sharp. Now this would be a nice replacement for her old sickle which badly needed a sharpening anyway.
Ascaria takes the weapon to the shopkeep and pays for it from her own purse.
I'll say that this is the Mwk sickle from my shopping list. I figured it was a nice opportunity to explain where I got it from.
As Marcus dumps the Tiefling on the floor and lays all the gear on the table, he notes the 360gp the tiefling was carrying. Tippy, could you check our buddy is not rousing and send him back to sleep if needed.
He counts out 72 gp for Ethaniel, Tippy, Iscarel, Ascaria and pockets 72 gp for himself. Spoils. Now I say we flog the rest of the Muggers gear and split that. We can offer the demon his life and maybe a job but he tried to kill us so his gear is ours. 1/2 market value is 218, so 43each except Grumm
He then gives the dwarf a long look, You can keep your stuff and if the boss can stand your odd way of speaking and 'hygene' you may find some steady work with us. In any case you helped us out there so the first few rounds are on me.
The half orc is happy to trade. He appraises the items and gives you his price. A reduced market value you are aware of but you had no sway with this fence yet, maybe in time you would find his appraisals more favorable but one would guess that all depends on your future business dealings. Furthermore, he doesn't even raise an eyebrow at your unconcious 'companion'. Business in Riddleport is quite black and white most times. Questions just bring trouble which isn't all that bad if your looking for it. You leave with the now almost naked unconcious Tiefling and heavier coin purses and make your way back to the Goblin.
Happy to be rid of the extra weight, Marcus buys 2 javelins with Ammentum straps for extra range and 2 chakrams, handing over the 4 gold. Thanks. We'll no doubt have future business. He quickly wraps the straps around his new ranged weapons and secures his Chakrams, then picks up the Tiefling and heads out.
"Thanks man. Work huh? Kinda need that"
At least some of those in this troupe muster up a scratch of decency...
"I..." the elf opens his mouth to speak, his brow furrowing. "No, nevermind. My curiosity is sated."
Iscarel takes several long strides back towards the city proper, his good humour returning. "Onward, then! I could go for a good drink, and perhaps a tale or two as well. Do you know any songs, master dwarf?"
"Not really. I don't think dwarves have songs. My friend tells me we do, but it sounds more like the drunk talking... usually about beer and mining. Normal stuff."
Ethaniel touches the edge of his new chakram. Sharp. Good. He glances down at his new whip. And when have I seen such a fine weave of leather? Pausing a moment, he reaches into his backpack and pulls out his old whip. Henri's whip. Frayed. Rotting. Forgotten. Ethaniel winces noticeably. No! Never forgotten. Never.
A chuckle escapes the half-elf, but he stifles it immediately. As he stuffs the tattered whip back into his bag, his eyes dart around at his companions. His ears catch Grumm's reply to Iscarel. "I know nearly nothing of dwarves...Grumm, was it? I'll hear some telling, if you'll tell it.
Back at the Goblin, Marcus finally off loads his passenger for the last time. Saul and Larur are about and you are able to give good news about prospective bouncers turning up tonight for their trial. The fact they were picked from the Lub was initially a surprise but soon enough the wisdom of the decision dawned upon Saul and commended your intellect and foresight. He looks forward to seeing who will show.
Larur is very interested in the new face accompanying the party and is quick to introduce himself, gripping the forearm of Grumm as he does so.
"Larur Feldin, born of the line of the Earthbeard Clan of the Mindspin Mountains. That's a mighty fine beard you have there .......?"
Saul asks, pointing at the heap of unconscious mess on the floor "And what are we doing with this?"
Grumm is conflicted of seeing another dwarf. So far, encounters of his own kind have rarely been nice. He sizes Larur out of instinctive skepticism.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
"Hey man. Grumm of the Gær merchants. Southwestern Druma."
Larur responds, "Gaer Merchants you say? Druma, boardering the Five Kings old country. Let us grab some fine dwarven ale and talk a while. I would learn of your travels that brought you to Riddleport."
He was part of the group that attacked us. Junkie or not and I think not, he fought with enough skill to down the Dwarf who seems to know what he's doing and was ALMOST good enough to beat me until I found a hole in his guard. He's likely the equal of any who show tonight and a guard with horns and fangs would have ALOT of presence. If we can make him an offer and be satisfied with his word, he could be quite useful.
He part said, Marcus waits to see if anyone has something to add and Saul's reply.
Saul, "Well, can we at least have some fun with this. Lets take him down to the pit and then wake him up to make the offer. Perhaps the dank surroundings below will convince him to cooperate. Any objections?"
Mess with his head if you wish but no torture. Any answers under that are likely just what you want to hear anyway. Iscarel might be creative enough with words to achieve what is needed.

September tends to imply new beginnings. It's the time when school starts up again, people move to a new locale for a fresh start, and the new TV season begins.
The show Melrose Place, in its inception, embodied a simple concept, one which I am not foreign to - MP was about a group of people around the same age, who lived in an apartment building (with a nice pool in the center). Season 1 wasn't received very well. It was too safe and needed an oomph.
That's why the theme I have chosen above is the one from Season Two, when Heather Locklear joined the series as a Special Guest Star. To me this is when the show really began, when Heather Locklear, as Amanda Woodward, moved in the building and started stirring up trouble. In the real world, maybe such a person exists, but in all the apartment buildings I have lived in, I've never met anyone who I considered to be the trouble maker - at least not to the same extremes as Ms. Woodward. There were other trouble makers who eventually moved in the building: Laura Leighton as Sydney, and Marcia Cross as Dr. Kimberly Shaw. I am just realizing that the red-heads didn't last as long as the "blonde" one.
I just moved into a new building this month and I hope my experiences in the building will be of the Season 1 variety: Boring and predictable. At the end of the day, I'm just a person who wants to be in bed by 9:30pm on weekdays.
Fun points:
1. Courtney Thorne-Smith's hair. Talk about volume!
2. Grant Show opening the fridge. Need I say more?
3. Daphne Zuniga - I just love that name and it's been used in many games of Celebrity. People have no idea who she is so it's fun to see them squirm.

Windows Phone 8 devices to go on sale this November
Mary Jo Foley over at ZDnet is reporting that she's heard that Windows Phone 8 devices will be launching in November. We've previously heard that it would be "this fall," but that's pretty vague. Foley is trustworthy though. According to her sources, the finished product will be sent to Windows Phone manufacturers in September, with the devices hitting retail the following month. Remember, none of the current Windows Phone 7 devices will be upgradeable to Windows Phone 8, so in order to get in on the action, you'll have to buy a new device.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 2:48 PM - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
A teen accused of kidnapping and killing a 10-year-old Colorado girl now faces an additional sexual assault charge.
Prosecutors said Wednesday that they've charged 17-year-old Austin Sigg with using physical force and threats to sexually assault 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway. They've also tweaked the language of charges previously filed in Jessica's disappearance and slaying in October. She was abducted as she walked to school in the Denver suburb of Westminster.
Jessica's father and other relatives live in the Kansas City suburb of Independence, Mo.
Sigg is also accused of attacking a 22-year-old woman in Jessica's neighborhood in May. She escaped.
The judge in the case said Wednesday he would bar the public and the media from a preliminary hearing for Sigg, saying he wanted to avoid influencing any potential jurors if Sigg's case goes to trial.

BURN PATIENT participates in a virtual-reality program to relieve the pain of his wound care at Harborview Burn Center
in Seattle (above). Wearing a headset and manipulating a joystick, the patient maneuvers through the program called SnowWorld (right), which was specifically designed to ease the pain of burn victims. Studies show that virtual-reality programs are more effective than ordinary video games in distracting patients from the often excruciating pain of wound care.

Pain-Related Brain Activity
Virtual Reality Therapy
In the science-fiction thriller The Matrix, the heroes "plugged in" to a virtual world. While their bodies rested in reclining chairs, their minds fought martial-arts battles, dodged bullets and drove motorcycles in an elaborately constructed software program. This cardinal virtue of virtual reality--the ability to give users the sense that they are "somewhere else"--can be of great value in a medical setting. Researchers are finding that some of the best applications of the software focus on therapy rather than entertainment. In essence, virtual reality can ease pain, both physical and psychological.
For the past several years, I have worked with David R. Patterson, a pain expert at the University of Washington School of Medicine, to determine whether severely burned patients, who often face unbearable pain, can relieve their discomfort by engaging in a virtual-reality program during wound treatment. The results have been so promising that a few hospitals are now preparing to explore the use of virtual reality as a tool for pain control. In other projects, my colleagues and I are using virtual-reality applications to help phobic patients overcome their irrational fear of spiders and to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in survivors of terrorist attacks.

Where Cisco could beat Sonos
Last week, I expressed some doubt that Cisco Systems would be able to come up with a multiroom audio system that's usable by mere mortals. After all, home networking is still a pain to set up and debug, and Linksys isn't exactly a beloved consumer name.
Reading John Falcone's preview of the Linksys Wireless Home Audio System calmed my fears a little bit. Not only has Cisco hired some industrial and user interface designers, it has gotten a few things right that Sonos missed.
First, the Linksys system is completely wireless, while Sonos requires you to have … Read more
Lynksys intros advanced NAS servers
Network-attached storage servers, in my opinion, have generally not been user-friendly enough. Even the easiest-to-use ones require some getting used to.
This is looking to change with the two new Media Hub series released under the networking giant's marketing brand "Linksys by Cisco" at CES this year, the NMH400 and the NMH300.
The NMH300 series is a budget solution that offers just the core features of the Media Hub, and you need to use a computer to manage the device.
The NMH400 series, on the other hand, features an LCD screen that lets users view a variety … Read more
Linksys offers full wireless alternative to Sonos
After hinting at a "digital stereo" product in The New York Times last week, Cisco unveiled the details of its Wireless Home Audio System today, which will be released under the networking giant's "Linksys by Cisco" consumer networking brand. At first glance, the system--which is actually a suite of six products that will be available separately or in a variety of preconfigured bundles--bears a remarkable resemblance to the Sonos Multi-Room Music System. Like the Sonos, the Linksys product has a large-screen remote and offers networked base stations designed to live in several rooms of the house where they can play digital music from networked PCs or online audio sources (Internet radio via RadioTime, Rhapsody subscription service in the U.S., and the AudioLounge premium service in Europe). The Linksys device can also use a "zone" system, so different rooms can access different audio sources, or be linked together for synchronized playback of a single audio stream in multiple rooms simultaneously. … Read more
Cost Central has the Linksys WMP300N Wireless Network Adpater for $67, after $12.99 savings.
Would you buy a Cisco home audio system?
Networking is a dark art, and putting the word "home" in front of it makes it no simpler. Debugging a home network is not for the faint of heart--the intelligence of the on-screen wizards peters out after the first few obvious fixes, and soon you're checking help forums, running ipconfig commands, and tweaking DHCP settings.
So today's news from The New York Times--that networking giant Cisco Systems is getting into the consumer electronics business--filled me with dread.
The idea of piping audio files from your computer to your home stereo or other audio devices is valid: … Read more

Darksiders II to feature survival arena modeArena Mode, new game plus also detailed Posted by Alex 'SpectralShock' V on Aug 6, 2012 - 6:53pm EST (Aug 6, 2012 18:53) |
THQ today announced that Darksiders II will feature a survival arena mode allowing players to continue advancing their character after finishing the main game.
After completing five of the mode's 100 unique waves, gamers will be given the option of taking a prize or continuing for another five waves for a chance at even better items. However, if they fall in combat they will leave with nothing. In addition to this mode, Darksiders II will feature a New Game+ mode which will allow players to carry over their Death for a new game retaining all of their skills and equipment. Jim Huntley, Vice President of Global Brand Marketing commented: "The Arena Challenge Mode and the New Game+ function are the perfect way to continue building the ultimate Death even after finishing the main game. This upgraded and customized character can then be carried over into the upcoming DLC campaign missions." Darksiders II follows the exploits of Death, one of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, in a tale that runs parallel to the events in the original Darksiders game. Darksiders II is scheduled to be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and PC in August 2012, and a WiiU version is scheduled for release at console launch. |

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
Two days before the first debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney, John Elway says he's endorsing Romney.
"Governor Romney is a proven leader with the experience and background to turn around our struggling economy," said John Elway. "In these tough economic times, we need a president who understands how to get America working again – by standing on the side of taxpayers and small-business owners who do the real job creating. I am endorsing Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan for President and Vice President because I know having the courage to make decisions and tackle challenges is what leads to results and real change. America needs a comeback team – Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are that team."
Romney commented about the endorsement in a news release Monday night. He said, "Leaders come in many forms, and John Elway has always exemplified leadership, first as a quarterback for the Super Bowl champion Broncos, and now as an executive vice president for the team."
Romney and President Obama will debate for the first time Wednesday at the University of Denver. You can watch the debate on KKTV 11 News at 7 p.m.

Some people may consider the new 120GB Xbox 360 hard drive to be a complete rip-off a little expensive at $179 considering that you can buy a 2.5" external drive of the same capacity for under $100. And Microsoft's justification for the price? "I know it sounds expensive to a lot of consumers but we are comparable to those types of drives and also we have to go through a lot more testing and security," said Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg. Anyway, Xbox-Scene has a good guide on how you can make your own working 120GB hard drive for the Xbox 360 at a much lower price. First you will need to get hold of a Western Digital Scorpio BEVS-LAT drive (it's not too expensive and it's the only drive that is known to work). Next you need to download Hddhacker v0.90 (built by The Specialist) and dump your hddss.bin firmware file from your 20GB Xbox drive onto a floppy disk by attaching the drive to a SATA controller (most modern motherboards should be fine), and then flash this file to the new 120GB drive. After this your drive should be ready to go. For full details on this procedure, read the guide on Xbox-Scene. This is one area where the PS3 can clearly show its superiority, as users can add their own 2.5" drive without voiding the warranty. Which reminds me, the warranty on both the new drive and the Xbox will probably be useless after doing this, so keep that in mind! Source: via DailyTech Warning: Microsoft is now blocking modded consoles from Xbox Live!, so it is recommended you DO NOT try this mod!
I too think that $179 bucks for a 120 gig "Microsoft Certified" hard drive is stupid. Any way we can save a few bucks by doing it ourselves is all for the better. Microsoft is addicted to money like some people are addicted to crack, and the xbox360 is proof of that. I have several friends that have the Xbox360 and bought it brand new. Exactly when the warranty expired, the Xbox360 would die on them. 2 of them sent it back to be repaired and it cost over $130 for each repair. Not only that, Microsoft uses it to their advantage because they can spy on people by looking at the hard drive and seeing anything they have on it. Now the updates that you have to get to play online games is stupid. This allows them to spy on you remotely. Any bit of data they can get on you they use it to make money (information = money). Many of these people when they got the updates, the Xbox360 died on them causing them to pay for Microsoft's mistake. How can a update be for security when it opens a back door for Microsoft? Did you know that if you refuse to install XP service Pack 2 on a machine with Service Pack 1 you get banned from Microsoft updates? Enough is enough Microsoft, you can take Vista, Windows XP service Pack 2, and the Xbox360 and shove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont see how this could void the xbox warranty, youre not modifying the hardware at all. Just adding a modified hard drive, which snaps on externally.
Because you have to open the HD enclosure to do it. That would definitely void the HD warranty, but I'm not so sure about the console itself. I don't see how it could void the console's warranty.
This sounds like reliable certified data, tell me more about it ( '-') The firmware updates for the 360 were pretty much worth it every time. And so far I have not heard about M$ *spying* on it. If they do internal survey about their own network it's okay I guess. And you should just gtfo if you use XP without SP2 and latest hotfixes. SP1 is not secure at all at this point.
But you can take that HDD on and off with no worries of ruining the warranty to upgrade to higher capacity MS certified hard drives? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I dont fault MS for making money, I mean, they are a company and that is there business plan, however, theres a difference between making money and absolutely slaughtering the bums of your consumer base. in the end, this winds up being as much, if not more than the PS3 itself. I still love mine, but this elite model is a crock. We current owners should be able to trade ours in for a substantial discount and pay only 50 to 100 bucks for the elite model.
Uh, no. Maybe you forgot that Microsoft is a corporation, not a charity. No company is going to give anyone that much of a discount to trade in old hardware. The only hardware company I know of that gives a discount for trading in old hardware would be ATI, which only pays $50 for old cards. (When you buy a new one)
So now that Microsoft is banning consoles with modified firmware and such, does this Harddrive Mod also = a banned console?

Whitening toothpaste: Does it whiten teeth?
Does whitening toothpaste actually whiten teeth?
from Alan Carr, D.M.D.
Whitening toothpaste can whiten teeth slightly by removing surface stains, such as those caused by drinking coffee or smoking. Whitening toothpaste can also be used after a bleaching treatment to help maintain results.
To remove surface stains, whitening toothpaste typically includes:
- Special abrasives that gently polish the teeth
- Chemicals that help break down or dissolve stains
Some whitening toothpastes contain the chemical blue covarine, which adheres to the surface of the teeth and creates an optical illusion that can make teeth appear less yellow.
When used twice a day, whitening toothpaste can take from two to six weeks to make teeth appear whiter. Whitening toothpaste that contains blue covarine can have an immediate effect.
Although whitening toothpaste is generally safe for daily use, be careful to follow manufacturer recommendations. Excessive use of whitening toothpaste can damage your tooth enamel over time.
Keep in mind that whitening toothpaste can't change the natural color of your teeth or lighten a stain that goes deeper than a tooth's surface.
If you're considering using a whitening toothpaste, look for a brand that has a seal of approval from a reputable dental organization — such as the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance. This seal indicates that the toothpaste is effective at removing surface stains.
If you're not satisfied with the effect of whitening toothpaste, ask your dentist or dental hygienist about other tooth whitening options — such as over-the-counter or professional bleaching products.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. (AP) -- Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is seeking funding increases in a pair of social welfare programs for children.
Under the governor's proposed 2014 budget, foster care families and working parents both would receive increases in state subsidies.
Rates paid to foster care providers would increase by 3 percent. While that would help reimburse families for food and clothing, an advocate for foster children says it still falls well short of adequate funding for the state system.
Nixon's budget also includes a 3 percent increase in the rates that child-care centers receive for caring for the children of lower-income parents. His budget plan also would raise the income eligibility threshold for parents to qualify for subsidized child care.

67% of the CEO
Andrew W. Carter
I have been working at Ocean Tomo full-time for more than a year
Pros – Smart, fun, and helpful coworkers. I love the people here. Management appears to really care about us. Great office space. The work is interesting and challenging, and it seems like I frequently learn something new.
Cons – Work can be erratic at times, with some unplanned late nights. While I understand this can happen in consulting, it still can be upsetting when I have to change my personal plans to finish a project.
Advice to Senior Management – It would be good to have monthly outings, instead of only having "fun" nights every other month. This would be especially important if we have had to work any late nights.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Ocean Tomo full-time
Pros – 1. Company has "unlimited PTO", which is good because you don't have to acrue PTO before using it. It is bad because you may not have ownership over a certain amount of days, so it may be hard to take off 3 straight weeks even though you have 15 days, for example, depending on your boss. Management is overall very understanding of taking time off, and I would say the average employee takes more time off here than most other firms, which is a plus. All time off is paid.
2. Very casual, familial culture. Some employees, especially the director and MD level employees seem to have been there a long time. I think this is a sign that people really do enjoy working there if there isn't turnover.
3. Paid continuing education classes if management approved of it.
4. Alot of after work fun events designed to allow employees to have fun and bond, even in the economic downturn.
Cons – 1. No 401K match even in an uptick in the job environment.
2. Niche business, so transferability of skills is very weak at best, most exit opportunities are other patent-related businesses. If patents are what you love, this isn't a con. Business school is intriguing as the experience is very different than other business school applicants. There isn't much the company can do about this con as patents are their business.
3. We paid 20% of the healthcare costs pretax.
4. From my understanding, some of the business lines may pay below market rates.
5. There is some expectation that you work for other groups in times of downturn in your business line, which I disliked. Employees have their strength and weaknesses which make them bad fits for other business lines sometimes. We also don't get compensated based upon work for other lines, so incentives are not aligned there.
Advice to Senior Management – Aim for a higher standard of entry-level employees. Except on the West Coast where there are USC and UC Berkeley hires, aspire to hire the top students everywhere. In the Midwest (biggest office) in Chicago, management does not hire heavily at U of Chicago, Northwestern, Notre Dame, etc, which are the best schools in the region. It is more common to see U of Illinois, Indiana University and DePaul at the firm. No disrespect to those schools, but there isn't even a recruiting presence at the previously mentioned schools. I think it results in lower quality work.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Ocean Tomo full-time for more than a year
Pros – Location
Friendly people
Smart people
Well-rounded individuals in and out of the office
Learn some of the soft skills - they are all really good talkers since they work with clients and sell jobs
Chicago's biannual meeting was always fun
Cons – Can feel lonely and stressed a couple of days - but you feel that in every job
Work can get boring since you work with lots of data in MS Excel and type up reports in MS Word
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Ocean Tomo full-time for more than a year
Pros – Great space, great offices, great people
Cons – management sucks! they don't always do what they say they will do.
Advice to Senior Management – Be fair to all employees
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I have been working at Ocean Tomo full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Good mix of challenging work, interesting new projects, and "typical" assignments. My coworkers are great... all the people here are willing to help and are very friendly. The company promotes teamwork and "everybody getting ahead". Management has both true visionaries and good everyday managers.
Cons – The company offers unlimited time off with pay, which sounds great but it can be hard to get as much time off in large blocks as you want. Taking a few days or a week off a few times a year is easy. But trying to take more than 2 weeks off at once can be challenging. Last year I was only able to take 5 weeks off total, and was not able to take the month-long vacation I had hoped for.
Advice to Senior Management – Don't offer free ice cream on Fridays in the summer so I don't get fat? Just kidding. But except for the vacation issue I think this company does a great job of working with people.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Ocean Tomo
Pros – Excellent company to learn and grow with. My coworkers are great, probably the best anywhere. I have made many friends here at all levels of the company. We work on both "tried and true" things and cutting-edge ideas. Overall, a great place.
Cons – Most benefits are good (health plan and vacation are great), but the company does not match 401k contributions. I thought everyone did that.
Advice to Senior Management – A week ago I would have said to do something fun for the summer, and then on Friday they announced that we would have a free ice cream cart in the office every Friday this summer. So someone is thinking ahead!
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Ocean Tomo
Pros – Great culture and people. Less like an impersonal business and more like a family working together. They constantly provided me opportunities. I learned a ton while I was there (left to go into a completely different line of work). Good mix of "regular" and "new" projects. Sometimes the hours were long but at least we were all working together.
Cons – They do not match 401k contributions and dental plan is below average. Other than that, things were great for a long time. Unfortunately, early this year things got a bit rough because of the economy and the "non team players" at the company began grumble and cause trouble. Once they left everything was good again though.
Advice to Senior Management – I think the best advice I could give would be to tighten recruiting standards so no more "non team players" get back into the firm. A few bad apples can spoil the whole barrel.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Ocean Tomo
Pros – The company has several nice, intelligent, hard-working employees. Work product is thorough and accurate. The company encourages a very innovative culture.
Cons – The hours can be demanding, as some projects can require late nights and weekends. The company has a very small, familial culture and some employees have not enjoyed similar successes and/or opportunities as those who have been around longer.
Advice to Senior Management – None.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Ocean Tomo
Pros – Relatively diverse workforce. Interesting ideas. Nice offices.
Cons – Too many ideas--no execution. Very political environment, stay away if you are not related to or know someone very well in the firm. Entire view of the management is on creating valuable IP (they have several patents and many pending) not business value--marketing, sales, and operations are not priorities.
Advice to Senior Management – Split up the firm into services, products, auction, and investments. Too many conflicts of interest
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Ocean Tomo
Pros – A company with a number of strong quality professionals. A great place to work if you are interested in chasing the next big thing or being the most innovative company out there. When the company was thriving, the environment was fun and upbeat.
Cons – Management seems to base business projections on best case scenario. Management slow to react and accept the changing economic environment. Empty promises made to employees about the future of certain business units. Promotions awarded based on questionable reasons.
Advice to Senior Management – Seriously consider the viability of the company's goals and how realistic those goals are in the current market environment. Be straightforward with employees about business profitability.

I don't even have the words to express how appalled I am by this news story.
The Dallas school district took about 5,700 fifth-grade boys this morning to see a new movie about African-American fighter pilots in World War II, but female students were excluded.
Dallas ISD [Independent School District] spokesman Jon Dahlander emailed me some answers to my questions.
"Approximately 5,000 fifth grade boys in the district are watching Red Tails," he wrote in the email. "The film is about the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African American pilots whose acts of bravery during World War II earned them the President Unit Citation in honor of their achievements."
Dahlander writes, "There is only so much available space at the movie theater, so the decision was made for boys to attend the movie. Girls stayed at school but principals were given the option to show them Akeelah and the Bee."
The all-boys field trip cost more like $57,000 -- not $32,000, Dahlander told me this afternoon.

Don't Bother > Doesn't LastPros: cheaper then a Era... But no where near as good. Cons: Poor construction. falling apart after 2 months. Earpiece no longer stay in rubber piece. Mesh is falling off the earpiece microphone area. Q2 badge even fell off. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
paper weightPros: n/a Cons: Dead on arrival. The charge light blinks for a minute and then stops. Tried the included charger and 2 usb cables. Can't charge it and can't turn it on. Other Thoughts: How does this happen?! 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
So far so goodPros: Very easy to use. The headphone will guide you through the installation process and pairing with your phone. Great voice quality for talking. Does not use that proprietary power charger that the Q1 has, tt's micro-USB now. No need to update firmware because the Q2 all came with the latest firmware. Talk time lasted longer than the Q1. Loud and clear on both ends. Tons of voice command options. Cons: Slightly larger than the Q1 but it has better hardware inside so I guess it's not really a cons. Other Thoughts: I'm all about sound quality and this one is by far the best I've heard compare to anything in its class. I don't have any battery problem, it lasted me through a 7hr work day driving, navigation, and talking. I just wish it has a bass to the sounds like regular earphone has while listening to music. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Light Weight, Sleek, Multi-Functional, Great Sound Quality, Easy Pairing, Responds to Voice Commands well. Cons: Small USB Cable for charging. Small Volume Down button, Difficult to push. Easy to hit Vol+ when trygin to turn down the volume. Having issues playing music from my phone, Q2 claims it's cantabile. Have not been able to get it to work yet. Some errors with voice commands and who you wish to call. Other Thoughts: Subtracted an EGG for the following reasons: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Follow up after a monthPros: Sound quality and readout of caller ID Cons: This product is a FAIL, Battery life is NOT as expected and is NOT acceptable, Ill stick to other brands from now on, Also range has not improved (why would it) Other Thoughts: Again, My $16 headpiece blows this away in every other aspect other than sound quality, NOT worth the money IMHO 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Headphone works greatPros: Great clear sound and reception. easy to hookup, voice commands work well Cons: Will not hold the phone over much of a distance (I have had it disconnect from the phone when the phone was in by pocket). Other Thoughts: The lack of a 64 bit updater is extremely annoying. Almost all new computers are running 64 bit operating systems so you have to find an older 32 bit computer to update your firmware. Three years ago I was told "we are working on it." I get the same message today. How many years does it take to make one of these? 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Q2-By far the bestPros: Used with Android Froyo this truly is a handsfree headset. (Be sure to get the Android App) Very comfortable headset! I have several to compare to including Motorola HX1, Plantronics Voyager Pro and the BlueAnt V1x. This is the best sounding among the bunch and it streams A2DP. The warranty is thice as long as the others at 2 years. Cons: The charge time is lengthy in comparison to the V1x. Other Thoughts: For $66.99 and free shipping what are you waiting for?

Sometimes you have to destroy your business in order to save it.
–James Surowiecki, The New Yorker
Adair Lara wrote a delightful little book called You Know You're a Writer When…
Here are three of her insights. You know you're a writer when
- You'll never forgive your parents for your happy childhood.
- You wonder which is a funnier word for a mineral, "feldspar" or "potash."
- There are three empy cereal bowls next to your computer—one for each meal.
To survive, Netflix is going to have to give up DVDs, the more profitable part of their business. Clicks are destroying bricks. When the music and movie businesses went to downloads, clicks destroyed Tower Records and Blockbusters. Downloads are the key to Netflix's growth. Will ebooks will have the same effect on chain bookstores? Stay tuned.
Newsweek reported that next year, there will be seven billion people on the planet and five billion cell phones, a staggering statistic. People are giving up laptops for smart phones. In three years, smart phones will outsell PCs.
You know you're a writer when you write. It's that simple. But if you still harbor the hope that you can sit in front of your computer, turn out good books, and earn a living, abandon it. You need to reinvent yourself. Consumers will have a PC in their pockets with voice recognition, instant translation, and the ability to download all media whenever and wherever they want them. There is now wifi service on top of Mt. Everest!
What are the qualities you and your books will need to succeed in an increasingly mobile world?
The 7 Keys to Salable Writing
The two keys to becoming a successful author are developing your skills as a writer and an author. They involve two different but overlapping abilities. Both skills sets are essential to your future. The seven keys to making yourself an salable writer are
1. Credibility: Be knowledgeable enough about your subject and kind of book so you can write and speak about it. Make learning a lifelong quest.
2. Clarity: Find books and authors you can use as models for your books and career. Use what excites you to create a clear vision of your literary and financial goals, including when and how to achieve them. The only criterion for your goals: they motivate you to do everything you can to get where you want to go. Change your goals when you wish.
3. Quality: Produce work that you can promote with pride and passion. You'll be too close to your work to tell when it's ready, so build a community of readers who can.
4. Productivity: Be a contentpreneur who keeps generating ideas and content that you can customize to meet the needs of the marketplace.
5. Scalability: Be able to communicate your ideas and the content of your books on any scale: a tweet, a pitch, a blog, a website, articles, talks, workshops, videos, media appearances, audio books, and a series of related books that sell each other. There's growing interest in short work because it's faster to read.
6. Mobility: Write books that are salable in other forms, media, and countries for audio, video, films, television, merchandising products, computer games, and
usable on all available platforms, including computers, smart phones, and e-readers. Follow your work if it means moving elsewhere.
7. Creativity: Develop your ability to be creative in how you write and promote your work. As more authors deluge the marketplace, creativity will become more important as a way to distinguish yourself from them.

Critical Essays
Audre Lorde American Literature Analysis
As a young girl, Lorde expressed nearly all of her daily conversation by quoting poetry she had memorized. As she began to grow up, however, she realized that there were no poems that addressed many of her feelings and experiences as a black feminist lesbian. She felt "totally alienated, disoriented, crazy." Thus, Lorde began writing to fill her own needs. She said that she wrote for herself, for her children, and for those women who do not speak because they have been silenced or because they have been taught to respect fear more than they respect themselves. Lorde wrote, often militantly, always expressively, of racism, sexism, homophobia, love, and pain as well as on political, social, and environmental issues. Critic Jerome Brooks has discerned three central themes in Lorde's work: the issue of power, her quest for love, and her commitment to intellectual and moral clarity about so-called familiar things.
Lorde's discussion of the existence and use of power is not limited to an examination of the power of words, a theme she uses frequently; it also includes explorations of black versus white, female versus male, child versus mother, the disadvantaged versus bureaucratic institutions, patients versus the medical establishment, and smaller nations versus the United States.
Lorde's poem "Coal" (1976) is, on the surface, a study of the power of a word, of "how sound comes into a word, colored/ by who pays what for speaking."...
