FAR-far north ILL.
2 Stars
I would recommend this item to a friend.
3 years use
March 28, 2016
I rate these gloves as fair. I've used the heating elements maybe a dozen times. Most winters lately are not that cold so I use other gloves. The heat wire is not where it's needed, you can feel it's located on the hand back. There the veins are carrying the blood away from your hand so it does the fingers nearly nothing. So I opened up the glove and found the wire is about 12" long. Plenty long enough to move it where it's needed, nearer the fingers. Since I have the 3 finger style glove cover [G.C.] I ran the wire 3/4 down the index finger. The rest of the wire near the knuckles and what was left on the thumb. The other 3 fingers huddle to themselves keeping warm. NOW these gloves work NICE!!! They work even nicer when you use glove liners or even better yet, [G.C.]. Using G.C. holds the heat inside the glove, liners do not. I can ride to minus 17*F and at 65 mph with ease. Do waterproof spray these gloves a couple times a season, holds back the water and air infiltration. The seams are not that tight. I'm highly surprised, the video says $29.99. Here they're $100.00!!!!? WOW, some markup! BUT, these gloves are definitely NOT worth more than $30.00. Are they worth it? Sure at around $30.00. Higher than say $50 may as well invest in better quality heat gloves. ~FM
Pros:Water resistant. Warm, not hot. Best worn with Glove Covers and/or liners. Light weight with rechargeable batteries but you get shorter heat time. RECOMMEND? Yes but they are cheap.
Cons:Not water proof. Cheap thin battery holder = DO NOT DROP! Battery box switch broke after a dozen movements. Replacements are NOT available. You'll need to Jeri-Rig something. RECOMMEND? EHmmmm.... yaaaa, I guess so.

What are the Best Surfaces for Barefoot Running?
Obviously, the best surfaces for barefoot running or walking would be surfaces free of debris, or sharp objects that can cause injury. If you live in the suburbs or in the city this may be a little more difficult to achieve as you may have difficulty finding the best surfaces to run on.
The most optimal surfaces for barefoot running are surfaces that are good conductors of electron flow. Studies show that concrete is a good conductor as long as it hasn't been sealed.
Painted concrete allows a lot less flow of electrons. Materials like asphalt, wood, and typical insulators like plastic or the soles of your shoes, will not allow electrons to pass through and are not suitable for barefoot running.
The ideal location for barefoot running is the beach, close to or in the water, as sea water is a great conductor. Your body also contains mostly water, so it creates a good connection. If you can't hit the beach, then a nice grassy area or a beautiful meadow covered with early morning dew is the next best surface to run barefoot on.
How Barefoot Running can Affect your Health
Two main things that make a difference in your ability to conduct electron flow are 1) Standing or running outside in your bare feet and 2) How high up you are off from the Earth's surface.
There is a natural charge at the surface of the Earth where your body can receive an electron flow. This potential charge is something you don't feel as is does not cause any particular current flow.
Whenever we have weather changes, this potential charge can go up from one hundred volts to 10,000 volts per meter which is the stage just before lightning strikes. This charge between the surface of the Earth and the ionosphere hundreds of miles up is charged by particles from the sun and is very electrically active.
Those charged particles eventually reach the Earth in the form of lightning and electrify the entire surface of the Earth so that anywhere you touch the Earth, there are electrons. The path they travel is originally from the sun, then to the ionosphere and finally to the earth.
We don't see the effects of this charge right in front of us daily, but this constant flow of electrons does exist in the atmosphere and during storms, it intensifies to the point where we actually see it in the form of lightning.
This atmospheric electron flow is what the human body needs for the immune system to function properly.
To experience this flow of electrons through our body, however, we need to stay grounded to the Earth's surface.
Therefore, the more separated we are from the Earth's surface; the worse the implications are for our health.
For example, if you live on the 20th floor of a high-rise and you're not grounded (using grounding technology, of course), the consequences to your health will be more significant than if you lived on the first floor.
Likewise, when you wear rubber- or plastic-soled shoes, you are effectively shielding yourself from this beneficial influx of electrons from the Earth.
For optimal immune function, you want these electrons to enter your body, so make sure you take your shoes off now and then!
Exercising barefoot outdoors is one of the most wonderful, inexpensive and powerful ways to incorporate grounding into your daily life and minimalist running shoes will help you achieve this goal.

Taking Part, Making a Difference
At farmer's markets, strip-malls, and town squares across the county, thousands of volunteers reached out to friends and neighbors this Saturday to register new voters and ask folks to be in for 2012.
Arranged by this year's class of summer organizers, Saturday's day of action brought out brand new and long-standing volunteers. In Virginia, Jamal was there for the President.
"I think he's doing a great job. This is my first time volunteering for the Obama 2012 campaign and I can't wait to get more involved.
"Sometimes it can be tough talking to voters, but then you get the one person who smiles and says, "Yes, I'm In." It makes it all worth it."
Adam, another volunteer, was looking for a fulfilling way to spend his weekend:
"I want to contribute, to do my part. I don't just want to talk about the issues, but to actually make a difference.
"It was challenging, but good challenging. The more you go out, the more you meet people, the more time you spend with people who have done this before, the more confidence you have and the better you get at it."
For Gavin, one of the summer organizers responsible for organizing Saturday's events, the importance of the day of action was clear:
"We know we're not going to get everyone we speak with to register. We just have to be persistent and keep asking."
We're building this campaign person by person, block by block, community by community. The folks who registered to vote for the first time this weekend, the supporters who told us that they were in and yes, they wanted to volunteer—that's what this campaign is about. This is how we'll grow.
Did you take part in Saturday's day of action? Let us know how it went in the comments. And keep an eye out for details about the next day of action in July.

US sees opportunity if North Korea tests nuke
A test would give US analysts the clearest picture yet on the rogue state's capabilities.
Washington: The world is warning North Korea against going ahead with its third nuclear test, but inside the American intelligence community, some officials are quietly hoping it happens. A test could give them their first real view in years into whether the North has made significant progress toward a weapon that could threaten the United States or its allies.
Since the North's last test, in 2009, during President Barack Obama's first months in office, the United States has lost much of its visibility into what a former senior intelligence official says is on the cusp of becoming a "runaway program."
Anticipation of a North Korean nuclear test comes as South Korea on Wednesday succeeded in thrusting a satellite into orbit for the first time.
For those watching North Korea, that nation's nuclear program remains opaque. Inspectors have been ejected from the country, and new facilities to make nuclear fuel have appeared. And after the North warned last week that it would conduct a "higher level" test "targeted" at the US, Kurt M. Campbell, the assistant secretary of state for East Asia, conceded that "we don't know the kind of test that is anticipated."
Now the hope is that an underground blast will answer several mysteries. Can the North Koreans produce a bomb out of uranium — a program they invited a visiting American nuclear scientist to glimpse two years ago — as well as the plutonium bombs that they exploded in 2006 and 2009? Can they make a warhead small enough to fit atop one of the long-range missiles they successfully tested last month?
In short, is it possible that the country that gained a reputation as the Keystone Cops of nuclear nations, setting off nuclear explosions that sputtered and missiles that crashed into the sea, has actually gotten its act together to the point that it may pose a significant threat?
"It's clear that there is now an expectation that this test could cross a threshold and yield data we haven't had," said Michael Green, a senior director for Asian affairs in the National Security Council under President George W. Bush. "We know a lot about their programs, but not the most important part — how far along are they. And we won't know that until they test."
The test could show, he said, "whether they can build a bomb that can approach Hiroshima or Nagasaki levels, and that would tell us a lot about how far they have proceeded on weaponisation."
Previous tests have obviated the question of whether the North is capable of setting off a crude nuclear device. The far bigger question is whether one of the world's poorest, most backward nations can make the kind of leap that Pakistan made in the 1990s, when it tested a bomb and began building an arsenal now estimated to be well in excess of 100 weapons.
The United States has already deployed equipment to measure the future test, including sensitive sniffing devices mounted on reconnaissance planes that may be able to answer the question of whether the North has moved to a new generation of homemade uranium weapons. The Bush administration accused the North of trying to go down that road in 2002, but American intelligence agencies missed a crucial development in recent years, the construction of a large enrichment facility in the heart of the North's main nuclear reactor site.
But the Americans are not the only ones who are focused on the North's progress. So is Iran, which has been struggling with the same uranium technology for years, but has stopped short of conducting a test. "They will certainly be watching," said Joseph R. DeTrani, who was the intelligence community's top North Korea watcher for many years and went on to run the intelligence group created to fight weapons proliferation. "They want to see how it works, and they want to see how North Korea is treated by the rest of the world if they do another test."
The White House has played down the threat from the North and has repeated the mantra that a test would further "isolate" the country, a term that both the Obama and Bush administrations have used, to little effect. But senior American military commanders have noted that the missile that the North tested in December, which went as far as the Philippines and launched a small, light satellite, was a success — a notable change after several missiles fell quickly into the sea.
Similarly, many nuclear experts viewed the North's first two nuclear explosions as laughable flops, if not complete failures.
The North set off its first bomb on October 9, 2006. Surprised analysts judged its strength to be less than 1 kiloton, or equal to less than 1,000 tons of high explosive. By contrast, the first nuclear blast by the US was more than 20 times as powerful.
Last year, James R. Clapper, the director of national intelligence, told Congress that federal analysts had judged the first explosion to be "a partial failure." He added that the North's second blast, on May 25, 2009, "appeared to be more technically successful," with an estimated yield of about 2 kilotons. That was more impressive, but China's second bomb test, nearly a half-century ago, was about 20 times as powerful.
A few analysts argued that the North had intended the blasts to be small. But more saw unfulfilled hopes.
Now, some revisionism has set in. Top American scientists have questioned the accuracy of the intelligence community's assessments of the tests, and its portrayal of the North's nuclear engineers as bumbling amateurs. The split indicates just how difficult it can be to understand what is happening deep underground in the famously reclusive state.
Siegfried S. Hecker, a Stanford professor who previously directed the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, and Frank V. Pabian, a senior adviser on nuclear nonproliferation at Los Alamos, reanalysed the global measurements of the distant rumbles in North Korea and concluded that Western observers had underestimated the power of the blasts.
Their findings, published recently in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said the first test could have yielded an explosion of up to 1 kiloton, and the second of up to 7 kilotons. In an interview, Professor Hecker said the higher figure suggested that the North Koreans were a lot closer to being able to produce a true weapon than first thought.
"If they can do four," he said of the North Koreans, "they can do 20," roughly the size of the weapon that levelled Hiroshima, Japan.
As Hecker acknowledges, the measurements are still in dispute. Nuclear experts at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, Los Alamos' longtime rival, did their own reassessments and kept to the view that the first tests were small. The intelligence divisions of those two laboratories provide the government's scientific estimates of foreign nuclear threats.
"We haven't been able to resolve the issue," Hecker said.

Wacky WakkeyLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
In a land far, far away, called Wakkey, there are 4 rulers who rule 4 different lands, wear 4 different crowns with 4 different populations.
Rulers: King Ray, King Ross, Queen Rose, Queen Rosa
Lands: Bang, Boom, Bam, Buzz
Crowns: Gold, Diamond, Silver, Bronze
Populations: 1000, 800, 300, 200
Figure out who owns what land, wears which crown and rules what population.
1. The ruler with the lowest population wears the silver crown.
2. Queen Rosa is ruler of Bang.
3. King Ray does not rule and has a hatred towards Buzz.
4. King Ross frequently boasts he rules the highest population.
5. No king, as both dislike bronze, wears that crown.
6. Queen Rose does not rule Bam.
7. Queen Rosa rules a population higher than 300.
8. King Ross owns Buzz.
9. King Ray cannot afford and thus does not wear the diamond crown.
10. Queen Rose is fairly wealthy and wears the gold crown.
11. King Ross does not rule Bam.
12. Boom has a population of 300.
AnswerKing Ray is the ruler of Bam, wears the silver crown and rules a population of 200.
King Ross is the ruler of Buzz, wears the diamond crown and rules a population of 1000.
Queen Rose is the ruler of Boom, wears the gold crown and rules a population of 300.
Queen Rosa is the ruler of Bang, wears the bronze crown and rules a population of 800.
Explanation (making a chart would be helpful):
Clue 1: We know what it states and will keep this in mind.
Clue 2: Tells us Queen Rosa owns Bang, so we mark that down.
Clue 3: Tells us King Ray does not rule Buzz and neither can Queen Rosa, so King Ross or Queen Rose must own Buzz.
Clue 4: Tells us King Ross rules the highest population, 1000, so we mark that down. (This narrows the hint in clue 1 to the three remaining rulers.)
Clue 5: Tells us no king wears the bronze crown, so it must be either Queen Rose or Queen Rosa.
Clue 6: Tells us Queen Rose does not rule Bam. (Now we know that one of the kings owns Bam, and either King Ross or Queen Rose owns Buzz from the info given in clue 3.)
Clue 7: Tells us Queen Rosa rules a population higher than 300 - in other words, rules a population of 800 since 1000 is ruled already.
Clue 8: Tells us King Ross owns Buzz, so we mark that down. This also means that Queen Rose MUST own Boom since it is the only land left.
Clue 9: Tells us King Ray does not wear the diamond crown, so we mark that down.
Clue 10: Tells us Queen Rose wears the gold crown, so we mark that down. This also means that, since Queen Rose wears the gold, Queen Rosa MUST be wearing the bronze because as it states in clue 5, no king wears the bronze. Also tells us that King Ray must wear the silver crown, as he cannot wear the gold, bronze, or diamond crowns (Clues 5, 9, 10). Therefore, King Ross wears the diamond crown.
Clue 11: Tells us King Ross does not rule Bam, so King Ray MUST rule Bam because he does not rule Buzz as said in clue 3, and Queen Rose does not rule Bam as said in clue 6 - that is marked down.
Clue 12: Tells us Boom has a population of 300, so that is marked down. This means that, since the only population left is 100, and from what it says in clue 1, King Ray rules the 100.

Among the worthy citizens that Germany has furnished to the new world is Clements Rethmann, who is now extensively and successfully engaged in general farming on section 14, Marion township, Nemaha county. His birth occurred in Prussia, in 1833, and he belongs to one of the old families of that country. His grandfather, Barney Rethmann, was also a native of Prussia, and was one of the well-to-do farmers there. Barney Rethmann, Jr., the father of our subject, was horn in the same locality and was reared to agricultural pursuits, which he also made his life work. He married Elizabeth Hotthouse, who was born in Prussia. By their union they became the parents of nine children of whom Clements was the youngest. The father died at the age of fifty-seven years, and the mother's death occurred when she was sixty years of age.
Mr. Rethmann of this review spent the days of his boyhood and youth in the land of his nativity, and, determining to try his fortunes in America, crossed the Atlantic. Locating in Cincinnati, he drove a coal team there for five years, and on the expiration of that period he came to Marion township, Nemaha county, which was then a part of Richmond township. His first home was a little log cabin of one room, and there was not another house within five miles of him. By hard work and perseverance he has accumulated a handsome competence, and has overcome obstacles and difficulties which would have utterly disheartened many men of less resolute spirit. The nucleus of his farm was a tract of forty acres, to which he has added from time to time until he is now the owner of three hundred and sixty acres, all of which is in a good state of cultivation. He raises the cereals best adapted to this climate, and his models of practical farming have resulted in bringing him satisfactory success. He is also engaged very extensively in stock-raising and has now more than one hundred head of hogs upon his place. He also makes a specialty of the raising of cattle, and he has some fine horses of superior breeds.
Mr. Rethmann was united in marriage, in 1871, to Miss Agnes Gettmating, who was born in Prussia, Germany, and came to America in 1870, taking up her abode in Cincinnati. Her father, Frank Gettmating, was also born in Prussia, made firming his life work and died at the ripe old age of seventy-five years. Unto our subject and his wife have been born six children, namely: Mary, Christianna, Anna, Josephine, Charley and Bennie. All have been provided with good educational privileges, thus being fitted for life's practical and responsible duties.
The cause of education finds in Mr. Rethmann a warm friend who has done effective service in its behalf. He filled the office of school trustee for eleven years, and during his incumbency largely promoted the educational interests in his locality. He and his family are members of the Catholic church, and have aided in erecting four different houses of worship in St. Benedict. Their present financial condition and pleasant surroundings are in great contrast with their home life of many years ago, when they took up their abode here amidst a frontier settlement. For a year they lived on corn bread and pork, and Mr. Rethmann fed his cattle on hay, for he could get nothing else. As years have passed, however, his financial resources have steadily increased as the result of his continuous and well directed labors, and his capable management and enterprise have been rewarded by the acquisition of a handsome property.

Blog: How to choose the sunscreen?
But how can we choose the right sunscreens and protective factor between thousands?In this post I will try to give you some useful informations to choose the most suitable product for all of you.Sunscreen are really helpful to make the sun a real ally for our health and skin, but first we have to know how to select and use itThe first tip is that it does not exixt a cream that entirely protect us from ultraviolet radiation, it is therefore essential staying in the shade during the hottest hours, and when possible using hat and glasses.The second tip is to apply the product several times during the day so to help the hydration of the epidermis, without forgetting that the UV rays are present even under the umbrella and when the sky is cloudy.
The third tip is to choose sunscreen carefully, reading the labels and the new value graduation that indicate sunscreens parameters and standards:
SUN PROTECTION FACTOR or SPF -Is the protection level from UVB rays (responsible for burns and scalds). The maximum degree produced is SPF 50, and the categories are divided into different standards: low protection (SPF 6-10), medium (SPF 15-25), high (SPF 30-50).
UVA-UVB PROTECTION – Defines the protection from this kind of radiation that, without carrying sense of burn, allow high resistance to sunlight. But we must be very careful and do not undervalue this factor, as these rays penetrate deep into the epidermis, causing the aging skin. The sunscreen must be chosen with an high spectrum protection : anti-UVA values equal to 1/3 of those UVB: for example a cream with SPF 30, must have an anti-UVA least 10.
PHOTOTYPE – It 's also important to know that every skin is different and require a specific protective factor. It's important to do a check-up to determine the properties of skin and which products are to be used.
CHILDREN – Do not expose babies under 3 years to direct sunlight, best avoid the hottest hours and remember always to protect them with a cream SPF over 40, possibly choose water-resistant and anti-allergic ones
At last I give you a glamourous advice for summertime: if you don't want to give up the perfume, that could cause skin spots, try with a few drops of scented oil, very suitable in the warm season, without alcohol and resistant to evaporation.

I have this shade in "Seduction" and i loved it, until you get down to the last of your liner. You have to buy a special sharpener to sharpen the pencil, when it didn't say that on the package. I figured it would twist up like a mechanical pencil, but i soon found out that this liner must be used with a special sharpener. I will not buy this again, just because your forced to buy a sharpener, when all they had to do was make it mechanical. Beautiful color. Long lasting. Once your liner is dull, you can either break the end, push the product OUT, or you can go buy a "Special sharpener" and sharpen it. I'm sorry, but both is too much work. I will stick to mechanical liners from now on.

This lip liner is universal for my neutral lipsticks and the color payout is very rich and smooth. I'm digging on the way they blend into my lipsticks and liners. I'll post a more detailed review after utilizing the product for more than a week.

I was not overly impressed with this product. While I love the color, it did not last very long. It had a waxy feel to it and over all was just not worth the price. Probably will not purchase again.

Bought the lip perfection but for the wrong color. Too bright to go with my pale skin.
I give it a 4* because of its good quality and work but just bad on my lips. :(
I give it a 4* because of its good quality and work but just bad on my lips. :(
What other product like this would you recommend?
Would you call this a nude or is it more of a rose? Either way it seems like a really pretty color.
Does this go on smooth? Or is it clumpy and not smooth?
Does it last a long time?
Does this go on smoothly, or it kind of a hard stick instead of being creamy?

Last season on "Dexter," Michael C. Hall's title character finally tracked down the Doomsday Killer, Travis Marshall (Colin Hanks) and murdered him in an abandoned church. The only problem was that Dexter's sister, Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) saw everything… and now his secret is out.
Although "Dexter" season 7 won't kick off until September, TV Guide has debuted the first picture from the new season that depicts the immediate aftermath of the cliffhanger ending.
"Viewers might think we shy away from that moment of Debra walking in and seeing Dexter stabbing into Travis' chest, but it's just the opposite," noted "Dexter" executive producer Scott Buck. "She now has to deal with what she's seen and what she knows. And it forces him to defend and define himself."
Buck also addressed the controversial storyline that saw Debra develop romantic feelings for her adopted brother after a lifetime of platonic and one-sided friendship.
"It's ironic that people are fine with Dexter jabbing people in the heart but mortified by this romance," said Buck. "We're not shying away from those feelings of hers, either."
The TV Guide report also names Ray Stevenson's character as Sirko, but curiously describes him as a "Ukrainian strip club owner" rather than the "high-ranking member of an Eastern European crime ring" he was called in previous casting reports.
Earlier today, "Chuck" star Yvonne Strahovski was confirmed as a new member of the "Dexter" season 7 cast, where she will play Hannah McKay, a woman who is called into Miami Metro Homicide to help Dexter and the other investigators solve some cold cases. And if Hannah will be working with Dexter then it suggests that Debra is going to let his secret slide… at least for now.
"Dexter" will kill again on Sunday, September 30 only on Showtime.

Lately, we've been telling you about all the great things to do in NOLA during the Christmas Season… But what about AFTER Christmas? Less than a week after that magical day is what some might call the biggest celebration of the year, all around the world. It's never too soon to consider a visit to the Crescent City for New Year's, and Avenue Inn Bed and Breakfast would love to have you with us to welcome in 2014!
New Orleans may be known, first and foremost, for our Mardi Gras Celebrations, however the New Year's fun might just be a close second, and the prime location is in our renowned Bourbon Street area.
From North Rampart Street to the River, music will be playing (both live and recorded) in the bars, restaurants, and businesses throughout the French Quarter. You can even find great music right on Jackson Square.
For the final countdown, Jackson Square is, by far, the largest gathering of them all. And where New York's Times Square has the New Year's Ball that is dropped, NOLA does things our own way with our rise of the Fleur-de-lis on Jax Brewery Condominiums, peaking at the stroke of midnight, when musically-choreographed fireworks erupt over the river to signal the start of the New Year in style. Want a unique perspective of the light show? Book a Fireworks Cruise on the Creole Queen Paddlewheeler or the Steamboat Natchez!
Throughout the evening, the French Quarter's "Baby New Year" stands guard on top of Jax Brewery, making sure that one and all have a great time!
Looking for something with a little less crowd and a little more exclusivity? There are several dinner celebrations to choose from where you can dress up, have a great meal and/or enjoy a great show, and perhaps celebrate in elegance:
- Bombay Club Restaurant and Martini Bistro – While also in the French Quarter, the restaurant/club offers something a little more exclusive than what's happening outside with a four-course dinner, midnight champagne with party favors, and a live performance by Ingrid Lucia featuring jazz and swing favorites with a 1940's feel. Enjoy a night of style for just $125 per person – reservations are required.
- The Riverview Room – Dinner, an open bar, live music, and great views can be found at Jackson Brewery's end-of-year celebration. Black tie attire is encouraged.
- Tiptina's – This great Uptown music venue (just 8 blocks from the Avenue Inn) offers a dinner/show with open bar featuring local music phenomenon Galactic spouting the best sounds of New Orleans, with funk/soul group Orgone paving their way.
What can make all this even better? Why, the Avenue Inn's New Year's Getaway Package, where you'll be greeted to our home with a gift, map of the city, and streetcar passes for two ( unlimited riding for 3 days) so you can easily navigate town for an unforgettable year-end celebration!
New Year's will be here before you know it, so make plans for a Gulf Coast getaway today and enjoy a unique end to 2013!

Streets of Speed - Speedzapper Mocked, Driver Ticketed
Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:33:29 GMT —
This episode is for the little guys.
The tiny students along Eldora Road in San Juan who venture into streets, often times oblivious to the danger around them.
They drive 60 miles per hour, Ricardo Gonzalez said.
The veteran crossing guard smacked his hand-held stop sign to show the Speedzapper how he would really like to see speeders be punished.
There are two elementary schools along Eldora Road: Reed-Mock Elementary and Dr. Trevino Elementary schools.
In lieu of corporal punishment outside the schools, the Speedzapper explained to Gonzalez how we TMre here to zap drivers who speed over the 20 miles per hour school zone speed limit.
The Speedzapper even asked San Juan Police to tag along.
For one speeder, it was all apparently too much.
He's invading my privacy, the unidentified driver said to an officer on the scene. I'm not an artist that he can be recording me... take the camera off."
She was busted just shy of 10 miles per hour over limit.
Veteran Officer Jesus Ramirez explained to her how the street she was on was a public road and how she was violating the law.
She needs to be exposed of course, he said. I don't know why people are trying to avoid this... it's the reason why we're out here."
The Speedzapper was mocked by the driver after he tried to question her about her speed.
Ryan: "You got zapped for speeding in a school zone... How come you were going so fast?
Speeder: Ohhhhhh... How come I was going sooooo fast? Get out of here!"
Rookie Officer Cesar Jaime was surprised to see her reaction.
I was just trying to get the message out that she does need to respect the traffic laws," he said.
But the lack of respect to the Speedzapper also carried over to the police officers.
When it was time for her to receive a ticket, the woman in question refused to roll back down her window.
Instead, she held her hand out of a partially cracked window and looked forward with her visor turned outward.
Her actions were a stark contrast to that of the other driver zapped.
I saw the school but I guess I wasn't really paying attention," Alex Esparza said.
Esparza credited the Streets of Speed program for reeducating motorists on the importance of obeying the speed law.
I wasn't paying attention so maybe somebody like me can learn something."
Fines are higher in school zones.
Officers warn drivers to pay attention to the speed limit in order to avoid problems in school zones.

THE battle for the prized second seat at Force India has become a two-horse race between Jules Bianchi and Adrian Sutil.
It means the other two contenders, former Toro Rosso team-mates Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari, have been eliminated.
Bianchi, 23, was Force India's reserve driver last year but is also a member of the Ferrari Academy.
One theory is that the Frenchman is in pole position for the ride as Force India may switch engine suppliers from Mercedes to Ferrari in the future.
Sutil, 29, drove for Silverstone-based Force India for four years until the end of 2011 but is pushing hard for a comeback.
According to reports in Buemi's native Switzerland, he has been told he is no longer in contention for the 2013 drive alongside Brit Paul di Resta.
He will now focus on maintaining his role as reserve to Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber at Red Bull.
Spaniard Alguersuari is thought to be heading to BMW to drive in the Germany-based DTM series for hi-tech touring cars.

A large church organization in Northern Virginia noticed that the echoes in their multipurpose room, commonly used as a gym, made it a difficult space to be in – much less communicate in.
They contacted Acoustical Solutions and Sales Rep Kevin McIver recommended a simple solution, acoustic panels.
The Korean Central Presbyterian Church (KCPC), located in Northern Virginia just outside of Washington D.C., has extensive facilities ranging two levels that include numerous classrooms, chapels, a sanctuary, worship center, library, bookstore, and multipurpose room. The multipurpose room, which is the largest space next to the Worship Center, also had the largest problem with acoustics.
The 1,450 square foot room was all hard, bare surfaces, as is common with gymnasiums.
"It is a pretty large room," says KJ Kim, KCPC associate, "and with all hard surfaces, we were having trouble with reverb."
Reverberation is what occurs when hard parallel walls encapsulate a space. Noise energy gets reflected back and forth between the walls creating a loud accumulation of echoes that does not fade for several seconds. This is especially annoying when you are trying to understand speech or hear music.
"This is a common problem, and we recommended PolyPhon Acoustic Panel. Acoustic panels are the standard treatment that will lessen reverberation time instantly," says McIver.
The panels were installed along all the vertical walls in the room to absorb a majority of the sound energy created in the gym, and keep it from reflecting about the room and creating reverberation.
AlphaFlex Acoustic Banners were also installed throughout the ceiling to eliminate reverberation between the ceiling and floor.
"The panels work great, they have really kept the reverb under control," says Kim, who mentioned that he would be willing to work with Acoustical Solutions for KCPC's acoustical needs in the future.

Gold Extends Weekly Slump on Concern U.S. Budget Talks Will Fail
Gold capped its biggest weekly drop in more than five months on concern that U.S. lawmakers may fail to reach a settlement in talks aimed at avoiding self-imposed tax increases and budget cuts known as the fiscal cliff.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner told reporters that budget talks were in a stalemate and the Obama administration's offer yesterday wasn't a "serious" proposal. The president said today he expects prolonged negotiations. Gold tumbled 2.2 percent this week, the most since June 22.
"Fiscal-cliff concern is keeping investors on the sidelines," Frank McGhee, the head dealer at Integrated Brokerage Services LLC in Chicago, said in a telephone interview.
Gold futures for February delivery slid 1 percent to settle at $1,712.70 an ounce at 1:43 p.m. on the Comex in New York. Prices retreated 0.4 percent this month, the second straight loss.
Silver futures for March delivery fell 3.3 percent to $33.279 an ounce on the Comex. Prices dropped 2.7 percent this week, the most since Nov. 2.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, platinum futures for January delivery slipped 0.9 percent to $1,604.60 an ounce, extending the weekly loss to 0.8 percent.
Palladium futures for March delivery gained 0.1 percent to $688.20 an ounce. Prices rose 3.1 percent this week, the fifth straight gain.

IF you thought your three-year-old was fussy, check out the English cricket team's 82-page list of dietary demands for the upcoming Ashes series.
Almost 200 items are included in astonishing detail in the English and Wales Cricket Board document, which also sets rules for when and where they want the food and drinks provided.
In a booklet understatedly titled "Test Catering Requirements", England insists its players be served up to eight salads, four hot meal choices, three side dishes and two desserts.
And that's just for lunch.
Test selection: See the entire menu here
Gone are the days of simple egg sandwiches, tea and coffee.
Instead the Poms will spend every one of their lunch breaks dining on meals including soups, salads, hot options, finger food, juices and smoothies, with the menu almost completely different for each day of each Test match.
In a list to rival anything on MasterChef, among the list of foods that must be provided for lunch on day one of every Test are:
- Avocado, mango and dill salad with avocado dressing
- Quinoa, cranberry and feta salad
- Mung bean curry with spinach
- Roasted sweet potato wedges with Szechuan seasoning
- Honey soy and roasted chicken breasts with pak choi and ginger
And don't keep them waiting.
Tea break dishes and post-match cuisine must be ready and waiting in their dressing room 20 minutes before the close of play.
The post-match fare on day one of the Tests includes:
- Almond and cinnamon flapjacks
- Roasted vegetable and halloumi kebabs with red pepper dip
- Moroccan spiced griddled chicken fillets with lime and coriander mayonnaise
- Ginger and garlic prawn kebabs with garlic mayonnaise
The document also includes a 70-page recipe book with instructions on how to prepare each of the items.
It includes a warning that "the quantities must be followed, along with the ingredients listings".
"If availability is an issue please do not use an alternative or omit from the recipe," the recipe instructions state.
"For any meat used in sandwich fillings please do not use processed meats, only freshly cooked meats will suffice."

OTTAWA (Dec. 10)
The question of the use of the franking privilege for the mailing of anti-Semitic pamphlets from the office of a Social Credit Member of Parliament was again raised in Parliament.
In reply to a query, Secretary of State John W. Pickersgill said it was not illegal to send pamphlets through the mail. The question is, he added, whether the franking privilege was used without the deputy's permission, and if so, what action, if any, the deputy wants to take.
J. H. Blackmore, Social Credit deputy for Lethbridge, Alberta, speaking at a press conference later, defended the action of his secretary in mailing the pamphlets. He praised his secretary for her "faithful" service, and indicated he plans to take no action against her. He also said that he does not intend to withdraw his franking privelege from her.

text: People test a coax cable signal by finding out how strong it is, and how much noise comes in with it. There's special, and very expensive tools, that cable operator technicians use to check your signal levels for this. Some cable modems also tell you basic signal strength level information, like your transmit/receive power levels, and what frequencies, or channels, your cable modem locks into to transmit data.

Kevin Griffiths was sent to a care home in Rochdale as a teenager after he learned that he was adopted and rebelled against his family.
During the first few days of his stay at Cambridge House, Mr Griffiths says he was sexually molested by the late Liberal MP Sir Cyril Smith, who was involved in the care home during the 1960s.
Allegations of abuse were made against the politician at the time, but after his death in 2010 more victims came forward with testimonies.

First off the engagement shoot was a blast. I told Brice I fell more in love with him that day because he was so willing to participate. Taylor, our photographer, said they came out great but I don't get to see proofs for another two and a half weeks so we will see. Fingers crossed we got one good one out of the 4,000 she took :). Taylor could not have been more amazing to work with. By the end of the day we were literally finishing each others sentences. She made us both feel so at ease and comfortable we forgot there was a photographer in the room. I can't wait to see them!!!

WHEN Larry Soffer made the bold claim that he could predict the Cape Argus's front page, it was clearly going to be a tough ask.
While the magician had successfully pulled off the trick on TV shows, such as 3 Talk, and other radio stations, he was visibly nervous when he walked into the offices of Smile FM yesterday morning.
Soffer, pictured, said he had scribbled down his prediction for Thursday's paper on Wednesday afternoon, placed it inside two envelopes and then locked it away in a metal box.
The box had then been handed over to morning show host Eloise Pretorius. "I kept it with me all day, and even slept with it under my pillow," she said.
Soffer has been performing magic tricks on Smile 90.4FM for the whole week, ranging from simple card reveals to levitating office supplies.
The prediction was his grand finale, but it didn't seem to go as planned.
When he started to unlock the box, roping in a volunteer to tear open the envelopes, there was noth- ing inside.
"Maybe it's fallen out," he suggested, dropping a rolled-up piece of paper on the ground.
After unfurling it, he revealed that the Cape Argus's headline was scribbled on it.
"Guptas are my friends," he read out, the correct headline.

The South Carolina Gamecocks came through with a 35-25 win over Vanderbilt Saturday, scoring on their first four possessions of the game. The Gamecock defense displayed absolute heart after Georgia compiled 536 yards the week before. Vanderbilt could only muster 268 total yards and just two of 12 third-down conversions. USC has won five straight in the series, after scoring the first 28 points on Saturday. The astounding 13 straight wins at home at Williams-Brice sends South Carolina to a record of 2-1, with an off week awaiting before a road trip to UCF follows on Sept.28.
South Carolina is ranked No. 12 in this week's Associated Press poll and No. 13 in the USA Today poll. UCF had the biggest win in program history at Penn State 34-31 in Week 3. The win has allowed for UCF to start a season 3-0 for the first time since 1988. The scary part of this matchup for UCF, however, is knowing that with a bye week like Carolina, their kids could possibly turn this game into a hangover.
UCF went 10-4 last season; all losses came by an average of seven points and they received their second consecutive bowl win, 38-17 against Ball State in the St. Petersburg Bowl. For glimpses of the Ohio State game last season, the Knights looked like they would be able to get their first Big Ten win, playing to a 31-16 close loss, yet everybody played the Buckeyes close in the horseshoe. UCF faced two leads at home on Missouri in the first quarter last season. The biggest win in school history came last week; think how big of a win South Carolina would be for the program, which is already the biggest game in UCF's history and Bright House Networks Stadium. Carolina has won all three previous meetings with the Knights, all played at home.
This time off comes at an ideal and opportune time, in various capacities, for South Carolina. Carolina needs to get players dealing with injuries back on track. Jadeveon Clowney has been ailing from bone spurs in his foot that started back in high school, and plans to have surgery on it after the continuation of his junior season. Clowney hasn't been much of a factor, with 10 total tackles and two sacks through three games this year. USC gets valuable time to begin to regroup to stop the run better on defense and improve their turnover margin, which is -1 ranking 87th with four others in the nation. Carolina swung the game open for Vanderbilt with three turnovers; the two that came in the second half on special teams were downright ugly, as Shon Carson fumbled a kickoff return and a punt directed at Bruce Ellington, hit T.J. Gurley when he was blocking, and Vanderbilt recovered.
The Gamecocks can simply rest after playing one of the most underrated and tough first three weeks in the country. USC will get to prepare extensively for the UCF offense, knowing they have a very favorable schedule the rest of the way. After going to Orlando, the team will play a home game with Kentucky, play on the road three straight weeks (Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri), with an additional two weeks to prepare for a Florida team that had just played both Georgia and Vanderbilt in back-to-back weeks.
If South Carolina beats UCF, they can rest assure for the time being. Well, until their in-state rival Clemson treats them to an after Thanksgiving stuffing.

Anaheim Voters Prove to be Loyal Pendejos in City Council Election
With the attention of the national and international press now gazing elsewhere, Anaheim voters did the same ol, same ol' electing Curt Pringle tool Jordan Brandman and Know Nothing pendeja Lucille Kring to the city council.
Endorsed by the Orange County Register and Mayor Tom Tait, Republican John Leos could only place a distant third, as he did in 2010, even with the Orange County Employees Association making it rain on his campaign.
Ladies and Gents, after tumult in Toontown, the incoming city council will be sans minorities and all-gabacho! But this is a diverse council: with Tait-endorsed Kring coming back for a third overall term, she'll join Gail Eastman in boosting ginger representation--much to the ire of Cartman from South Park!
The only silver lining in thismierda
is that, despite being backed by establishment interests,sudden Mexi and dirty cop Steve Lodge lost
...badly. The cheap "Chavez" trick wooed neither Latinos and may have even repelled reactionaries! His supporters saw the burrito for the beans as robocalls emphasized Brandman while completely ignoring Lodge. Opponents focused their hit piece mailers on the former as well knowing the jig was up for one-half of the corporatist twinsies.
Anaheimers only went for one-half of the "Lodgeman" ticket
gabriel san roman / OC Weekly
Lazy Anaheimers also did their thing as usual. How else to explain Linda Linder and Jennifer Rivera getting about ten percent of the vote each despite running phantom campaigns? Linder's ballot designation as "Retired Deputy Sheriff" railed in the law enforcement-loving crowd. As for Rivera, has anyone actually seen this AnaHeina? The Latina law student ran on a ballot statement and nothing else. Even with that, her surname alone was good enough for a couple thousand votes.

And then there was Duane "Desmadre" Roberts. We wrote of him. Gustavo endorsed him. We doomed him. A hell-raiser par excellence who threw his hat in the ring last minute, Roberts still managed to earn five thousand votes. Making his presence immediately known, he tipped the apple cart and disappeared a "Lodgeman" friendly candidates forum in the works at Ember Cafe -- transparency in action!
Other candidates swagger jacked his populist ideas when his suggestion of moving the start time of council meetings to 7 p.m. so working people might actually have the time to attend gained traction. If Roberts' five percent means anything for a progressive future in Anaheim, those folks who he resonated with need to organize soon and form a grassroots coalition, one that can scare the shit out of the Disneyocracy!
As it stands now, the reactionaries have the floor. Following the social unrest in late July, City Hall faced a deluge of overt racism lumping illegals, gangs, district elections into one big burrito of bigotry! When Mayor Tait called for a special meeting of the council in August to be held at Anaheim High School's Cook Auditorium, many residents of the Colony District irrationally feared rampaging Mexis would be "rioting" too close to home.
My hermano and I cruised through that neighborhood as I politically cased it out a few weeks ago. The signs were hybrids. Tait's slate held no weight. To the detriment of Leos, Anaheim voters--and the Hills are not to be forgotten in all of this--are still too allergic to anything that whiffs of public unions, or any unions for that matter. Tellingly, residents of the Colony wanted Brandman and Kring and in a quick symbolic overview, that's what was ultimately delivered for the rest of the city.
Brandman was supported by the Anaheim Police Association and Kring, despite not getting their endorsement, promises more hires anyway. If the investment theory of politics holds true, Brandman will do the bidding of the resort cabal known as SOAR that supported him and Kring's past shows her to be no stranger to developer subsidies. Deregulation? That shit isn't even on people's radars yet as it economically advances throughout the city. "Pay to play" and "say to play" politics won the day. Expect future council meetings next year to resemble something like this:
My beloved city of Anaheim, reactionary as FUCK!
