Firewalls became a hot topic in the latter part of this week at HMR (a web site visitor abbreviated our name that way and it works pretty well). I decided to bring up this tip and updated it for 2006.
As recently as 2003, I recommended against dial-up users using firewalls. My reasoning for this advice included the substantially decreased time most dial-up users spend online in one stretch, ISP's provide firewall services into and out of their modem banks, and most 'hacking' at the time centered around denial of service attacks and other activities that was meant for computers with 'fat pipe' connections (DSL, cable, etc).
Today, however, I believe that a firewall is becoming an essential piece of our security arsenal. Firewalls (either hardware based or software based) prevent unauthorized access to and from your computer. The most recent threat of unauthorized use is spyware and adware. Spyware and adware can bring a system to its knees if not properly and completely stopped. A firewall can help reduce the toll of spyware and adware.
At the very least, every computer user using Windows XP should perform the following few steps to enable the XP firewall. If you have updated to XP Service Pack 2, the firewall will be enabled by default. Here's how to enable the Windows fiewall:
Click My Computer from the Start menu (or your desktop)
Click My Network Places from the task pane on the left
Click View Network Connections again from the task pane on the left
When the windows opens, RIGHT click on your Internet connection
Click Properties
Click the Advanced tab
Check the box that says "Protect my computer and network by limiting…"
Click OK
If you want a more industrial strength firewall that you can tweak and configure, try one of these free or commercial firewalls:
For broadband users who use a router to share access with other computers, the router acts as a firewall as well. Adam made some accurate points this week about the usability of firewalls. Too many computer users, hope to 'set it and leave it', but most firewalls require careful initial setup and a good knowledge of how to interact with the messages that it will generate. Read through your manual or go to the manufacturer's web site to learn how to best utilize your router and software firewall's capabilities.

CSU Sweeps UNCA
(CSU SID)-Hagaman, Bucs explode in sweep of Asheville, 11-7 and 8-1 CHARLESTON, S.C. - Charleston Southern's Zack Hagaman hit two home runs and had seven RBIs to lead the Buccaneers to a doubleheader sweep of visiting UNC Asheville on Saturday in Big South play. The Bucs took the opener at CSU Ballpark, 11-7, and then rolled to an 8-1 win in the nightcap.CSU improves to 11-16 overall and 3-3 Big South play, while Asheville falls to 8-20 and 1-8 in league play.Charleston Southern scored three runs in the first inning of the opener and four runs in its first at-bat of the second game and never trailed on the day.CSU seemed to play inspired baseball after a frustrating last two weeks, but the Bucs clearly looked motivated against the Bulldogs, coming up with their first Big South sweep since the 2011 season.Bucs' head coach Stuart Lake gave some credit to a fellow-CSU head coach to get his Bucs focused this weekend."Barclay Radebaugh came out and gave us a speech on Thursday to get us going into Easter weekend, and I thought our guys responded," Lake said following the win. "They came out and did what we've been asking them to do - get on the board early- that was the key."Hagaman was a big reason the Bucs scored early - and often - all weekend. He came through with a two-run double in the first in inning of Game 1 and followed with a three-run double in Game 2 to deliver two of the bigger blows of the weekend. He finished the weekend with three home runs, three doubles, and nine RBIs."I haven't even had a chance to look at his numbers for the weekend," Lake said of Hagaman. "Every time we had a chance to get a big hit, he was at the plate, and got it. He was incredible (this weekend)."The main beneficiaries of the Bucs' fast starts were their starting pitchers. CSU's starters, Tory Schroff and Kevin Buran combined for 12 strikeouts in 13.1 innings of work, walking only two batters.Buran picked up the win in the second game, his first of the season. He struck out six and scattered five hits in eight innings of work."I was so excited for him," Lake said. "We came out and got the runs early, and it let him establish a strike zone and be effective. He didn't want to come out (of the game), but his pitch count got kind of high and we also wanted to get Weekley some work."Game 1 - Charleston Southern 11, Asheville 7 Charleston Southern's Zack Hagaman homered twice and added two doubles as the Bucs piled up 15 hits in an 11-7 win in Game 1.Hagaman hit a two-run home run in the fourth and added solo shot in the sixth to lead CSU's explosive offense. He also had a two-run double in the bottom of the first as CSU raced to an early lead.The Bucs scored nine runs over the course of the first four innings to break the game open early. CSU, which had been struggling to score early in games, piled up 19 runs in the first four innings of its three wins on the weekend.Bucs' starter Tory Schroff (WP, 4-1) pitched as thought he had a comfortable early lead. He scattered eight hits and four earned runs, but struck out six and didn't surrender a walk. He also enjoyed 10 runs in support as the Bucs scored in each of the first six innings.Centerfielder Bobby Ison helped the Bucs offensive attack, going 3-for-4 with a run scored. Kevin Hickey and Alex Tomasovich each added two hits for CSU, which outhit Asheville, 15-11.Hagaman laced a two-run double into the right-field corner to start the scoring for CSU. The top four in the Bucs order combined for 11 hits and 10 runs.Shortstop Eli Miller had a big afternoon for the Bulldogs at the plate, going 4-for-5. First baseman Billy Creighton added two hits and two runs scored.Game 1 - Charleston Southern 8, Asheville 1 Buran carried the Bucs limiting UNCA to five hits in eight innings of work and Hagaman had a three-run double in the first inning as CSU broke the game open early in an 8-1 win.Buran (WP, 1-5) took a shutout into the eighth and struck out six for his first win of the year.The Bucs scored four times in the first innings, led by Hagaman's third double of the day and an RBI double from Robbie Streett.The Bucs added a pair of insurance runs in the fifth, scoring on an Asheville error to build their lead to 7-0. Tomasovich hit a solo home run in the eighth to cap the scoring for CSU.Hagaman and Tomasovich each had three hits in the win. Hagaman was 7-for-10 on the day with three doubles, two home runs, and seven RBIs. Tomasovich was 5-for-8 and scored five times.Hickey also had a successful debut as the Bucs' leadoff man on the weekend, going 6-for-14, setting the table for the red-hot bats behind him.Charleston Southern travels to South Carolina on Tuesday night to face the Gamecocks. First pitch is at 7 p.m. at Carolina Stadium.

Big 12 Championship Notes in PDF Format
HUTCHINSON, Kan. – The Baylor men's golf team will vie for its first conference title since 2001 when the Bears head to the Sunflower State for the 2009 Big 12 Men's Championship. Hosted by the University of Missouri, the three-day, 72-hole event will be held at the 6,598-yard, par-70 Prairie Dunes Golf and Country Club.
The conference championship will begin with 36 holes on Monday, followed by 18 holes on Tuesday and Wednesday. Teams will tee off on the No. 1 and No. 10 tees at 8 a.m. and 8:50 a.m., respectively, each day. Pairings for the first round beginning will be No. 1 Oklahoma State, No. 2 Texas Tech and No. 3 Texas starting on the first hole at 8 a.m. No. 4 Texas A&M, No. 5 Baylor and No. 6 Colorado will follow at 8:50 a.m. On the 10th hole, No. 7 Kansas State, No. 8 Oklahoma and No. 9 Missouri will tee off at 8 a.m., followed by No. 10 Iowa State, No. 11 Kansas and No. 12 Nebraska at 8:50 a.m.
Live scoring for the 2009 Big 12 Men's Golf Championship will be available on Golfstat.com.
Last season, Baylor posted its highest finish at the Big 12 Championship since 2002 when the Bears finished fifth overall. Baylor has finished in the top-5 only three times in the 12-year history of the men's championship, including winning the conference title in 2001. In 2008, Colton Williams led the way for the Bears, finishing 3-over par following a final-round 75, for a 10th-place showing a spot on the All-Big 12 team.
Joining Williams in the Baylor lineup is senior Bill Allcorn, sophomores Austin Berkovsky and Cody Paladino and freshman Joakim Mikkelsen. The superb freshman Mikkelsen leads the team with a 73.16 stroke average and is one of only two Bears to play in all 11 tournaments this season. Mikkelsen and Paladino have combined to card 26 of Baylor's 50 rounds of par or better.
Allcorn, a four-time Academic All-Big 12 first-team selection, has been consistent throughout his senior season. The Abilene, Texas, native ranks fourth in rounds counted, stroke average and third in score vs. par. Paladino, who ranks second on the team in stroke average and score vs. par. The sophomore from Kensington, Conn., has recorded the lowest round by a Bear this season with back-to-back 66s at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate in October.
Berkovsky, in his first year at Baylor after playing his freshman season at Arkansas, rounds out the Bears' lineup. He has played in four tournaments this season and carded a season-low round of 69 last week at the Aggie Invitational.
Located in Hutchinson, Kan., the course at Prairie Dunes is a par-70 that measures 6,598 yards. It has hosted the U.S. Women's Open in 2002 and has sponsored numerous amateur and pro tournaments. The course was rated 13th by Golf Week (2004) among America's best classical golf courses and 25th by Golf Digest (2003) on the list of America's Greatest Courses.

Coupon: Take $50k off
South Carolina taxpayers are about to save $50,000 in one week.
It's all thanks to a one-week furlough the S.C. House of Representatives is taking this week, in which the 124 members will stay home except for a few sparsely scheduled committee meetings. The House will return to normal session a week from today.
But why stop at saving $50,000 per each of the scattered furloughs planned? Why not have the S.C. General Assembly
meet once every two years? Or just 40 days per year, like Georgia, instead of stretching self-indulgently from January to June?
Ah, I just saw a tweet from S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell, R-Charleston, on this exact question. He tweets:
"House furloughed bcz we can do the people's work in less time & for less $. House passed Shortening of Session Bill 9 times but not law yet"
Anyway, the state Senate, meanwhile, is back at work today.
The Senate Judiciary will meet to consider the appointment of Barnwell native Mark Keel as the chief of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division, along with a handful of other bills, such as S. 732. Keel was appointed by the governor last year to serve out Reggie Lloyd's unfinished term.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Clementa Pinckney, a Jasper County Democrat, is aimed at preventing the rash of copper thefts, a nationwide problem. The proposal would require someone selling copper to obtain a permit from the county sheriff.
Sen. Clementa Pinckney
On Wednesday, a Senate subcommittee will consider ways to help municipalities address the problem of crumbling buildings, structures that have been used as a meth lab, or industrial properties where illegal dumping occurs -- and hold owners of accountable.
Under S. 117, named the Rehabilitation of Abandoned and Dilapidated Buildings Act, a municipality could bring an action against someone who owns "public nuisance" property or space that could be dangerous to the public's health and safety or violate building or sanitary codes.
Advocates say local governments need more than just condemnation as recourse, since that route ends up costing taxpayers more.
The bill would also let a court give permission to a court-appointed receiver to demolish a structure if it doesn't make economic sense to bring it into compliance with local codes and ordinances.

IRVING, Texas -- Steve Elkington had every opportunity to feel like the old man Friday at the HP Byron Nelson Championship.
He was playing with Rickie Fowler, who sported a neon orange shirt and had plenty of hair sticking out of his cap. He also had quite the cheering section following his every move.
Then there was Jordan Spieth, a 16-year-old amateur making the cut in his first PGA Tour event and lamenting the fact that a few more putts didn't drop to boost him higher on the leaderboard.
Spieth sure didn't act his age during the first two rounds. For that matter, neither did Elkington.
The 47-year-old got his PGA Tour card at qualifying school nearly two years to the day that Fowler was born. But the former University of Houston golfer outplayed the talented rookie the first two rounds, firing a 4-under 66 on Friday to sit just 2 strokes out of the lead.
Elkington has more than $14 million in career earnings but hasn't cashed a winner's check on the PGA Tour since Bill Clinton was in office. And if Charles Howell III had not withdrawn from the Nelson, Elkington wouldn't even be here this weekend. He found out he was in the event on Sunday.
"I had a great '90s, but I didn't do much in the last decade, so I'm glad that's over with, you know?" Elkington said.
The run in the 1990s included 10 victories and constant battles with allergy problems -- not exactly the best thing for a guy whose job is nearly exclusively outdoors.
He had sinus surgery in 1994, but that didn't fix the problem. A sinus infection forced him to withdraw from the Buick Open in 1995. Yet a week later, he was hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy as the 1995 PGA Championship winner, his only major victory to date.
Elkington also won the Players Championship twice during that decade and had a swing that many players wanted to clone. But 1999 was the last time Elkington won on tour, tracking down David Duval in the final round of the Doral-Ryder Open.
It isn't as if Elkington has just disappeared from contention. He was runner-up to Phil Mickelson at the 2005 PGA Championship and he lost in a four-man playoff to Ernie Els at the 2002 British Open. But he hasn't had as many chances as he'd like.
He'll play this weekend without any worries about allergies. He conquered those a few years ago and has become a walking advertisement for Allegra in the process.
"It was a miracle drug for me," Elkington said.
Elkington, clearly comfortable in his own skin, looks in shape and confident. And he's got more in common with Fowler and Spieth than you might think.
"I never thought at my age I'd be into social networking, but I am," Elkington said.
So much so that he started his own website five weeks ago -- www.secretinthedirt.com -- that he calls "Facebook for golf." The site allows members (and there are 7,600 already) to log on and share their golf swings with each other and talk about golf.
Elkington, with the help of 86-year-old Jackie Burke, has filmed instructional videos and has a section on the history of instruction in the game.
"I just think you shouldn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a lesson," Elkington said. "It should be free. It's been a fun project."
Elkington is having fun beating so many young players through two rounds of the Nelson. It's certainly much better than his experience on tour last year, when he finished 183rd on the money list.
"I had rounds where I played one day like Sam Snead and the next day like Sam Sausage," Elkington said.
The version closer to Snead has showed up in Irving, putting Elkington in contending position again.
"It's been awhile since I've been up here, but I've had some highlights here and there," Elkington said. "I've had some good stretches of golf this year already in places; I just haven't finished it out."
He'll get an opportunity with a late tee time Saturday. Elkington is playing his 14th Nelson and has finished in the top 32 five times. He didn't play from 1997 to 2004 and missed the cut the last two years.
Elkington compared the course to playing pool.
"It's all about the angles," Elkington said. "It's tricky. It's not on the greatest piece of land because it's squashed in here, but it's been able to hold great tournaments for a long time, and it's got great closing holes. But there is no doubt it's like shootin' pool. You've got to have a good angle."
So is Elkington a good enough pool shark to outplay the rest of the field this weekend?
"I have been known to play pool for a little bit of cash, if you're interested," Elkington said.

I have a nativity set that's been in my family since I was a little girl. And while my kids are fascinated with it and feel the constant need to shift the characters around, it's fragile and special and just not something I'm comfortable with them playing with. Just in case. So this year I've made them their own (unbreakable) set.
Things you'll need:
Wooden peg dolls, two large female dolls, one large male, one small male
Fabric scraps
Acrylic paint in blue, white and brown
Narrow ribbon
Hot glue gun and glue stick
Brown felt
Things to do:
1. Paint the bodies of the dolls. Paint one of the girls white and one blue and the large male doll brown.
2. Cut a half circle of fabric for Mary's dress, a rectangle of fabric for Joseph and round the ends of a length of lace for the angle. Create a bow out of lace for the angles wings.
3. Cut a rounded wedge of the felt and set the baby in so the head is at the point. Glue the rounded edge to the bottom of the baby and then wrap the ends around it's body, gluing to secure.
4. Using glue and ribbon, wrap the rectangle of fabric around Josephs head and the half circle of fabric around Mary's body.
5. Wrap the lace around the angle, crossing over in the front and securing the ends with glue. Attach the wings to her back with glue as well.
6. Trim away flyaway fabric ends and hot glue strings and set up your scene.

Google on Wednesday sold Motorola to Lenovo for $2.91 billion. While many speculated that Google would release phones after it bought Motorola in 2011, it didn't happen — Motorola remained a partner like other Android OEMs. Recently, Google acquired Nest, and TechCrunch has learned that Google has big plans for the team behind the connected device company. Google will keep the Nest group intact inside the company. The new division will still work on hardware devices, but not necessarily thermostats or smoke detectors. In fact, Google would like Fadell to work on gadgets that make more sense for the company. Will it be a phone or a tablet? It's unclear for now. While Nest first became popular with its thermostats, Google didn't buy the company for these devices. First and foremost, the company wanted to snatch the great product team.
Like it? Tweet it.

REDLANDS >> Citrus Valley's boys tennis team is in the CIF-Southern Section Division 5 quarterfinals for the second straight season.
The Mountain Valley League champion Blackhawks (17-2) reached the quarterfinals with Friday's 15-3 win over Summit.
Citrus Valley resumes the playoffs with Monday's match against an opponent yet to be determined.
The hope is for a rematch with Maranatha, the team that eliminated Citrus Valley last season.
"I'm jazzed about it," Citrus Valley coach Chris Hallenbeck said. "Frankly, I like where we sit in the draw. If we do get Maranatha and are fortunate enough to win, then we get Beaumont. And I'd like another shot at Beaumont."
Maranatha, however, is seeded second and is no push over. Winner of the Olympic League, Maranatha has won 16 matches.
"They play good tennis," Hallenbeck said. "It's a private school. They are very well schooled and play well. It will be a good match."
Citrus Valley opened the playoffs with a routine line win over Montview League champion Duarte and expected a bit more from Summit.
"This was a better team that we saw at Duarte," Hallenbeck said. "I was concerned. They have a good coach and he gets a lot of mileage out of his kids."
Citrus Valley dominated as usual in singles, scoring sweeps by Ronnie Griffin, Joaquin Castruita and Max Aviles. The doubles team of Jack Keigler and Maechael Hanna won two of its three matches. The same goes for the team of Daniel Burroughs and Dylan Weems.
"Everyone in singles played as we had hoped and as we expected," Hallenbeck said. "We lost the three matches in doubles."
Citrus Valley raced through the Mountain Valley League schedule but prepped for the playoffs by splitting two late matches with Rim of the World that decided the league championship. And now the Blackhawks are in the final eight for a second straight season.
"I don't know if that has happened in my coaching career that I can remember, going to the quarterfinals in back to back seasons," Hallenbeck said. "What is interesting is that we only are missing just one person from last year's team. It's up to see what and who Maranatha is missing and who has stepped up for them."

The Dairy Business Association (DBA) has endorsed Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker in the upcoming recall election.
According to a DBA news release, Walker has not only been a champion of the state's dairy industry, but an active participant in crafting policies that promote the economic expansion of one of Wisconsin's leading industries.
DBA was the first state-wide agricultural organization to endorse Walker in 2010.
"Governor Walker earned DBA's endorsement in the summer of 2010 because our Association believed that he was best qualified to manage the business of the State by making the tough decisions Wisconsin needed in order to succeed. He has clearly demonstrated the same strong and conscientious work ethic that our farmers have and has put Wisconsin back on the right track," says DBA President Jerry Meissner. "For these reasons and many more, DBA strongly supports and stands with Governor Walker once again."
During the legislative session, Walker helped usher in legislation to streamline permitting processes, create greater efficiencies for transporting agricultural commodities and generate a business-friendly tax and regulatory climate.
Walker has also implemented programs to help increase milk production to supply Wisconsin cheese-makers with a sufficient amount of milk to operate at full capacity.
"Governor Walker has recognized the importance of a vibrant dairy industry in Wisconsin and has pro-actively created initiatives that will foster the continued growth of our industry," added Laurie Fischer, DBA's Executive Director. "DBA enthusiastically supports Governor Walker in the recall election."
The recall election will take place on June 5.

Remove implant & capsule scar tissue? New implant after the breast tissue heals? Wait until Herceptin infusions done? Forget having an implant in the right breast. Mastectomies were 2 months ago.
Implant Has Broken Through Incision & is Visible. What's the Next Step?
Doctor Answers 6
Exposed breast implant
Whether you have implants for aesthetic or reconstrucive procedures and have a visible implant the only possibility for initial treatment for the condition is to remove te implant for the time being. At some later time, perhaps 6 months or so, the breast may be reaugmented. Allow your Plastic Surgeon to guide you with this decision.
Good luck to you.
Frank Rieger M.D. Tampa Plastic Surgeon
Exposed implant
Unfortunately, once an implant has become exposed, the best and most reliable option is to have it removed, allow your body to heal and recover, and then start the reconstructive process over again -- either using implants again or your own tissue in the form of a flap (TRAM flap, DIEP flap, Latissimus flap, etc). I know that it can be frustrating, but there are a number of reasons why implants can become exposed -- many of which are not under our control such as infection, radiation, etc. I would recommend that you discuss your options with your plastic surgeon. He or she should be able to guide you, and then both of you can come up with the best option for you. Good luck!
Exposed Breast Implant
I am sorry that you had to go through this. For now, taking the implant out is very important. After you heal from your surgery, you can have a new implant inserted.
I encourage you to keep your communicating with your surgeon as he/she knows best of your surgery. I understand that you have been going through a rough time but being on the same page with your surgeon is the best thing to get commendable results.
Best of luck to you and thank you for your question.

Implant exposure
With implant or tissue expander exposure, you will need to have it removed. You can have a revision reconstruction in a few months once everything is healed.
Exposure of Breast Implant and Treatment?
I'm sorry to hear about the complication you are experiencing. Hopefully you have been seen by your plastic surgeon who is in the best position to advise you.
Generally speaking, a variety of options are available to treat patients in your situation. Most commonly, however implant exposure will necessitate removal of the breast implant (or expander). More than likely, breast re-augmentation can be performed several months down the line. Exactly when this reaugmentation is performed will depend on your specific clinical situation and your plastic surgeon's evaluation/judgment.
Again, the first step would be to make sure your plastic surgeon is aware of your complication.
Best wishes.

Implant is broken though incision and is visible. What is the next step?
What has happened is the implant has broken through the capsule and is now in direct contact with the outside environment, therefore, it could be contaminated. If there is no infection noted the wound can be flushed, as well as, the implant with Betadine solution, a small drain placed in the other area beside this broken down area and repaired and closed. Followed with antibiotic therapy. The drains being removed approximately 3 to 4 days later and hope that infection does not occur. If infection does occur the implant has to come out and you have to wait at least 3 to 6 months to replace.

A few weeks ago I was on my usual daily rounds during a workday & I was thinking to myself that there must be some old Beemers lying around somewhere discarded.As luck would have it later that day I was in a mates dark workshop storage room & before walking out into the sun a familiar outline caught my eye. We rolled up the door & I saw a badly bent old beemer. Not knowing what it was I mentioned I might be interested in it. As things go the price was right so hands were shook & 3 of us forced the bike onto the trailer. Upon inspection it turned out it was a 1981 R65 twin shocker. I was a bit disappointed as I was aware there were differences & incompatibilites between them & normal R80/100s however there were enough parts looking ok to make it worthwhile. The rear subframe was pretty munted & hard against the rear wheel Check out the handy stock lunchbox holder on the rear. The neck of the frame was twisted & the brace buckled.

Boyd takes on task as leader of international association
Veteran Canadian consulting engineer John Boyd, a senior principal in Mississauga-headquartered Golder Associates, has been elected president of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC).
A past chair of the Association of Canadian Engineering Companies, Boyd took over the FIDIC reins at the federation's recent annual conference in Singapore.
The Geneva-based organization represents 74 associations from 79 countries around the world.
Boyd will focus his efforts on three main priorities: expanding membership; increasing the number of tools in the quality-based-selection (QBS) arsenal; and establishing a "serious" partnership with funding agencies in the fight against corruption.
"In many countries, corruption is part of the (procurement) system," he said.
"The only way to make progress in this environment is to have a serious partnership between the funding institutions, both public and private, and the industry.
"Perhaps it is time that we were less subtle and more public in our messages about this issue."
Boyd, who has 32 years of experience in the consulting engineering business under his belt, also is keen on promoting QBS during his two-year term as president.
Consultant selection is an issue in Canadian engineering circles as well.
"Our message is simple," he said. "Select your consultant on the basis of quality and you can expect a quality product.
"Select on price and you can expect a cheap product which may or may not have the requisite quality."
Boyd said procurement agencies around the world increasingly are incapable of selecting consultants on the basis of quality "because they have dropped their experienced staff in response to budget limitations. They no longer understand quality issues.
"They also see price negotiation as a confrontational process that hands a blank cheque to our industry.
"We need to assemble some tools and process descriptions that help procurement groups do the job they should be doing and then help train them to use these tools and approaches to pick consultants on the right basis.
"We also need the members of our industry to refuse to work for those who will not select on the right basis."
Boyd, who has been a driving force on the international scene in efforts to promote sustainable development, is anxious to increase membership in FIDIC as well as the number of countries represented.
"We would like to represent 100 countries by the time FIDIC is 100 years old in six years."
FIDIC is the voice of private sector consulting engineering firms who provide design and intellectual services for the built and natural environments.
Its 2008 conference will be held in Quebec City.

Tail bone injury?
My tail bone has hurt now for over a week. I know there is nothing that can be done however, I would like to know if walking on a tread mill would be okay to do?
Your injury may (or may not) be something more serious. Rather than exercising and potentially creating more harm, see a physician.

By: Joseph "The Mad Boxing Genius" Torres
The first Super fight of the year is ready to take place. Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley promises to be an exciting bout that will finally pit these two future Hall of Famers together in the ring. In addition, it will determine who will likely face Manny Pacquiao later in the year to finally establish undisputedly, who the best fighter in the world is.
Floyd Mayweather's Keys To Victory
This fight isn't rocket science. The man who is able to establish the tempo of the fight will be victorious. Floyd has been unstoppable at making his opponents fight his fight. He is able to skilfully set the tempo of the fight at a relatively slow pace. Doing this allows him to read his opponents and see what punches are coming his way. Floyd generally wins on defence not offence.
If you watch closely, Shane Mosley is very susceptible to straight jabs and counter right hands (i.e. Miguel Cotto and Winky Wright). If Floyd can keep his jab count up and use his legs, never letting Mosley get his feet set to throw those fast power punches, he can keep Mosley from getting his punches off. At this point all that Floyd will need to do is what he does best which is to throw lead right hands and lead left hooks for a decision.
Shane Mosley Keys To Victory
Based on what Shane Mosley said in Vegas this past week, it looks like he's got the right strategy going in. Shane stated that he and his team have worked on several different traps and strategies. The key to beating Floyd is to never get stuck doing the same thing. Floyd is at his best when he's the counter puncher but he also likes this role because he can study and dissect what his opponents are trying to do. After he figures it out he goes to work.
Shane needs to attack ferociously at times. He needs to run, counter punch, throw combinations and throw one-punch shots. He needs to do whatever it takes to disrupt Floyd's rhythm. When Floyd thinks he's got Shane figured out, Shane should change tactics.
The Prediction
I feel that Shane will use a strong and consistent jab to set-up fast combinations in order to overwhelm Floyd landing one huge punch at a time. I feel at some point during the fight we'll see a more aggressive Floyd Mayweather. The aggression will be used re-establish control and once he does will settle back into his safety first style.
I don't think we'll get a drag out fight but it will be extremely intense from the beginning. However, I strongly feel that by the championship rounds, we'll see exactly who's in charge.
One more thing that stands out for me is the demeanour of both men. Floyd appears to be uncomfortable with everything that is going on. The bravado, the personality and the trash-talking is still all there but you get the sense that something is off. Shane is looking and talking like he wants to be there.
Based on that alone, I've got Mosley getting the nod!

Almost one-in-five residents in the Highgate and Archway areas say they have been a victim of crime in the past six months, according to a major survey conducted by the area's Lib Dem councillors and Lynne Featherstone, the party's crime spokesperson and Metropolitan Police Authority member.
In a survey of over 300 residents, 19.5% of respondents reported that they have been a victim of crime in the area in the last six months, with a total of just 22% saying they have seen a policeman on patrol in the area over the same period.
The Lib Dems says that the findings reveal the need for a greater police presence in the area, with more patrols and a permanent presence in Highgate – which has lost its police station along the Archway Road.
Lynne Featherstone comments:
"These figures show a worryingly high figure, and make me fear that a lot of crime in the area goes unreported. It is vital that people report crime, even if this can be at times a frustrating process, as otherwise there will not be the necessary pressure for more police resources.
Highgate councillor Neil Williams adds:
"While the arrival of special constables in the area has been a boost to policing, we still need more police resources. Seeing 'bobbies on the beat' is vitally important, but people in Highgate also want somewhere where they can report crime. Both services are essential."

It just works better. Sorry blogger!

Horse-trading and instability in Communist Czechoslovakia
No through-line, sloppy conclusions: that is the best this post has to offer. But I've been wrestling with this for a couple of weeks - maybe someone can shed some light on this area, because I don't seem able to do it for myself...
In 1989 the Czech state was badly weakened. In November of that year people spilled onto the streets and the old regime fell. It seems there was nobody to defend Communism against collapse - all it took (and please excuse me while I pull a number from nowhere) was for 10% of the population to rebel and the remainder to do nothing, and bang! New government. No more USSR.
I think we can assume that the UK and US states wreck enough people's lives to produce an underclass of equivalent size to that which rebelled in November 1989 and brought down the Communist regime. 10% of the population must be in pretty dire straits (there's that number again - it says here that 11.4 million people in the UK live on low incomes).
But this leaves a puzzle: in the UK and US we have this underclass - yet government change in these two countries occurs without drastic upheaval and revolution. Whatever the extent to which people might despise George W Bush or Gordon Brown, be opposed to the Iraq war, dislike tax levels or whatever, they aren't fundamentally opposed to the state and its basic institutions.
What explains the difference in mass behaviour? It must be to do with what the other 90% are doing. In the Czech Republic in 1989, the 90% just went with the flow. In the US and UK, they must be resisting rebellion - I don't mean by taking to the streets, but just refusing in general to go along with the 10%. They resist by being immobile, not active.
Let's look for a minute at the difference in relationship between state and citizen is in the US/UK and pre-revolution Czechoslovakia.
The Communist State wanted its organs and civil society to behave according to a set of goals and priorities that were some way out of step with what many of its citizens themselves considered important: essentially, it needed its citizens to act against their own interests.
To achieve cooperation, the Communist state offered its citizens a complex bargain: to be left alone, on the understanding the citizen never overstepped the boundaries of permitted action.
This horse-trading left a citizenry fundamentally at odds with its leadership: a citizenry tolerant of but opposed to the state. It put the state in a precarious position - it relied on its citizens' consent to remain in power, but was securing that consent contrary to the conscious wishes of its citizens.
Although the Communists had managed to get people to voluntarily act against their own interests, their solution was inherently unstable - should anything happen to drastically weaken the State, its citizens would be expected to rise up against it rather than in support of it.
Obviously, it's better if a state can rely on its citizens to defend it - to oppose the rebellious - rather than accept whatever change is afoot. I think this is the major difference between the Communist regimes, and the UK and US (and, I suppose, Putin's Russia).
In all states there is an underclass ("the 10%"), but I think the politically advanced states know that the important thing is not to get people to put up and shut up (which was the Communists' technique for control) but to make sure the other 90% don't roll over when the 10% get fractious. The US and UK governments may or may not do this by design. Putin may well be using this as his strategy.
How do you isolate the 10%? You need to convince the 90% that everything is OK for them - then the 10% can get as fractious as they like, but it will have no repercussions for the stability of the state.
It's at this point I wanted to include Marx's notion of false consciousness: in the UK and US, there is a lot of people there whose interests are not represented by government policy - who are increasingly alienated from government.
My intuition was that inculcation of false consciousness is one technology of power particularly important in advanced (and above all, stable) states. But I no longer see where that fits into the picture - it's not obvious to me that the 10% live in a state of false consciousness. And it's not obvious to me that the other 90% do, either.
To be honest, I don't even know what false consciousness is. I suspect that it's better simply to look at communications and propaganda, and think about how that can have its effects, than worry about false consciousness - an almost meta-psychological state which will be different in every different circumstance.
Although I'm sure a lot of people believe that many policies are working in their favour when they aren't, I don't see if that's enough for them to live in false consciousness. Until I know how many people live in a state of false consciousness, I don't know what role it can have in explaining power dynamics.
All I can conclude with is the obvious: systematic misrepresentation of State agenda garners a more stable, consensual support from citizens, which represses a revolutionary instinct. States which employ this power technology will last longer than those which don't... I just wonder where the weaknesses are in this system?
I suspect in alienation from the political process. More rambling on that another time.

The importance of being wrong
I was thinking last night about social networking and Metcalfe's law (as you do). And I got to thinking about being thought to be wrong about something, which happens to me sometimes.
And then I thought about what would happen if I spoke to someone who disagreed with me about something important, and if that was necessarily a bad thing - from a communications perspective, at least.
This is something that happened recently. I'm cultivating a blogger for work - she's articulate and interested in what my organisation does. Interested enough to want to talk about it with her professors and friends.
Because I'm a filthy environmentalist, her professors haven't always taken too kindly to what it is she has to say about what it is I have to say. In short, they think I'm as wrong as anything.
So wrong, in fact, that they go around telling their friends just how darned wrong I am.
Intuitively, you might think this is a problem, if I'm supposed to be recruiting people to the cause. But the more I think about it, the less certain I am this is a bad thing.
These people who go around telling their friends and colleagues how wrong I am are bound to bump into someone who disagrees with them about me being wrong. I imagine the conversation would go like this:
Questioner: "Who do you day is wrong, again?"
Jerk-who-disagrees-with-me: "That Paul asshole, he's the guy who's wrong."
Quesitoner: "Uh-huh."
Because of that exchange, the questioner will know who I am and where to find me. I'll have successfully connected with someone, even though the linking person thought I was wrong.
Sure, it would be better if they had thought I was right - then I'd be connected with two people instead of one, and I'd have someone evangelising for me instead of telling everyone what a doofus I am. But it's still a darned sight better than nothing.
It may even be that this is the best way to deal with these people who think I'm wrong - the chances of me convincing them I'm right are about zero, at least in the short-term. So they might as well go around telling people that I'm wrong - at least they're doing more than nothing.
As a concluding leap too far, there is a tie-in to Foucault here (kind of). Discourse isn't shaped by an instinct for truth - it's shaped by social forces. The social forces can't act on silence, so to give yourself any chance of winning an argument-at-large (meaning, getting society to go along with you rather than your opponent) you have to hang it out there and be thought of as wrong.
At least that way the discourse is happening and the conflict begins. Whether or not it ends up resolved the way you want - well, maybe that is where convincing people becomes more important. But I don't think it's enough to be right.

The funnies are mocking me
Today's Dilbert goes a bit like this (I'd reproduce it, but that would be copyright infringement - and besides, it won't fit in the column - if you want, you can see the cartoon here).
Girl: Do you have any hobbies?Now that I've found UnderstandingSociety I no longer have to imagine there are people out there who are interested in the same things as me.
Boy: I like to read obscure articles on the internet and imagine having friends who are interested in the same things.
All I need to do is imagine that the blogger is my friend.

Driver pleads no contest in fatal DUI
A man accused of driving drunk in a car crash that killed his girlfriend pleaded no contest Tuesday to charges of driving to endanger, death resulting and driving under the influence, death resulting.
Warwick police said Brandon Borge led them on a high-speed chase before he crashed into a concrete wall in Cranston on April 1, 2012.
Barbara Ellis, 34, of Attleboro, was trapped inside the vehicle and died at the scene. Borge's legs were severed.{}
Borge expressed condolences to the Ellis's family.{} He said he had no memory of the crash.
Borge evaded prosecution for more than a year. He was found living in Fall River after the I-Team started asking questions about why he hadn't been arrested.
Prosecutors asked for a sentence of not more than 10 years. A sentencing hearing was scheduled for July 8.

Chennai, Dec 14: Another case of an alleged ISIS recruit has been reported from Tamil Nadu. The first known ISIS recruit from India, Haja Fakkruddin was a resident of Tamil another case.
Now the National Investigating Agency is probing a Tanjavur resident, Mohammad Naseer for allegedly being part of the ISIS.
Naseer was deported from Sudan recently. As per the preliminary investigation, Naseer was working in Oman, but had reached Sudan allegedly to be part of the ISIS.
The NIA is still finding out how he managed to reach Sudan and also exploring the possibility of a new route that these persons may be taking.
In the case of Haja, he went to Singapore on a work visa and from their left for Syria. He is still believed to be in Syria, NIA officials suspect.
The route into the ISIS
The NIA has been dealing with several cases pertaining to ISIS recruits. In most of the cases it has been found that Indian recruits reach a foreign country on a work permit and then are launched into Syria or Iraq. The NIA suspects that the same could have happened in the case of Naseer as well.
We are still understanding the recruitment pattern and here too it appears that the radicalisation could have taken place on the internet like has been in all other cases, the NIA official also states.
Intelligence Bureau officials have often warned that South India has been a favoured destination for the ISIS. While the Haja Fakkruddin case was an example of this, it may also be recalled that it was from Tamil Nadu that another case in which youth sporting ISIS t-shirts had been circulated on the social media.

Henry C. Jeffers, Jr. alias Henry Duvall and Harriet V. Stephenson
Written by her Grand Grand Grand Niece
There is a lone grave in Rock Hill Cemetery between Brownsboro
and Chandler in Henderson
County, Texas. Harriet V. STEPHENSON, Aunt Jennie lies buried near her niece, Julia NOWLIN
and grandniece Mary Belle Nowlin TERRELL. Her gravestone says she was born 1851, but
this is wrong, she was born 20 Dec. 1848 (source: her Mothers Bible) and she died February 1931.
(death certificate). She left no descendants.
Aunt Jennie had pulled her horse and wagon to a stop in
front of Gene and Mary Nowlin Terrells
house in Henderson County, Texas in the late 1920s and announced that she was moving in
with them. And she did. And they didnt know she was arriving. (source: Thomas Terrell) It is
unknown what all she had in her wagon, but it held items still treasured by the family today,
plus a wealth of family stories that she brought with her.
Her journey had taken her from Wellsburg, Brooke County,
West Virginia where she was born,
to Ohio where she lived with her husband, then locations unknown, then to Bosque County,
Texas where she visited with her brother and his family, and then on to Henderson County,
Texas. Her brothers daughter, Julia and her husband, John Joseph Nowlin lived in Henderson
County, as did their daughter, Mary (all ancestors of the author).
Records found say Harriet married James Stephenson in
Brook Co. WVA on April 3, 1889.
She would have been about 41 years old if this is correct. She moved to Texas after all her
siblings and parents, except for her Texas brother, were deceased, and she was a widow.
A prolific writer, she wrote numerous postcards to her
young grandniece, Mary, and probably
many more to others over the years. (source: Frances Terrell COTTEN) When she died, she left
a will naming Mary as her grandniece and left her possessions to her and her husband, Gene Terrell.
Among them was a ladies gold pocket watch made in the 1890s, her parents family Bible printed
in 1846, and an unusual bowl. (source: these items were inherited by the author).
She had made her living after her husbands death working as a helper to a family. A nice picture
exists of this family, but their name is unknown.
Douglas Terrell said while Aunt Jennie was living with
his parents, Gene and Mary Terrell, an
airplane that she admired was flown to the airport in Tyler, and one could purchase rides on
the plane. Aunt Jennie insisted on being carried to the airfield, and managed to fly in the airplane
for a short ride. Because she was so elderly, she got her picture in the Tyler newspaper, riding
in the airplane. Aunt Jennie thought this was fun, so insisted the following week to repeat the
adventure, and, after that, had to be dissuaded from more visits to the airfield. She must have
been a determined and bold lady to still have this much spirit at her age of about 80 years.
When Aunt Jennie got to Texas, she brought an astonishing
fact with her! Her brother had
assumed the name of DUVALL, and evidently had expected to carry this secret to his grave
with him and his immediate family. She told the East Texas family the truth.
Harriet V. Stephenson was born to HENRY C. JEFFERS, Sr.
and JULIA DUVALL JEFFERS
in Wellsburg, Brooke County, WVA. She had a brother named Henry C. Jeffers, Jr. and he had
changed his name to Henry Harry Duvall. Her brother had served in the WVA 1st and 2nd
Infantry with the Union Army. After the war, he married NANCY MCADAMS on 31 August
1869 and they made their home in St. Louis, Missouri. He made his living working on steamboats
on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.
Julia Duvall was the daughter of GABRIEL DUVALL and NANCY MARSHALL DUVALL.
(source: Mareen Duvall of Middle Plantation by Harry Wright Newman, page 506).
Robert Nowlin, her grand nephew, related this story to the author, as Aunt Jennie had told him:
One day in the 1870s, Henry C. Jeffers, Jr. was walking
on a board walk built above the mud in
St. Louis, and a loose board was sticking up. It caused a collision between Jeffers and a black man,
resulting in Jeffers being knocked off in the mud. A fight began, and the other man was killed.
Henry C. Jeffers, Jr. hid in the attic when the law came
for him, and fearing the consequences,
moved with his wife and children to Bosque County, Texas. His occupation is listed as herding
sheep on the 1880 census of that county. Until the end of her days, the story was told, that when
the authors great great grandmother, Nancy, would get angry with him, she would threaten to
call the law and turn him in.
Henry dropped the Jeffers, Jr. and took his mothers maiden
name of Duvall as his last name.
He is buried in Smith Bend Coon Creek Cemetery in Bosque County, Texas under the name, H.
Duvall. His Texas descendants became Duvalls, where they flourish today.
Aunt Jennie told the family who her brother really was,
and about the family in Brooke
County. Her grandfather, Gabriel Duvall worked with his brother, Isaac Duvall who had founded
the first glass factory west of the Allegheny Mountains in 1813 in Wellsburg, Brooke Co. WVA.
Gabriel Duvall was named after his uncle, Gabriel Duvall, a Justice on the United States Supreme
Court under Chief Justice John Marshall.
The bowl she brought to Texas was made there before the
factory closed about 1830.
Douglas Terrell said the bowl was one of a set of eight, that when chimed, rang the notes of
a musical scale. Duvall descendants own the other seven bowls of the set. The Bible she left
has Jeffers family records from 1819.
These facts were essential to the author who needed proof
of Henrys name change to
establish her lineage. The Bible, along with Aunt Jennies will in Henderson County, Texas
supplied the needed proofs.
Aunt Jennie must have been a strong individual. As she
was born in 1848, the Civil War
came at a critical time in her development. The author has often wondered if she lost a sweetheart
in the War. She saw the death of many of her family members before she married at the age of
41 years. She managed to move to Texas late in her life, and find a new home. The author
admires and is thankful to Aunt Jennie, who died a decade before the author was born.
Because of her, the familys rich heritage in Colonial America is known, and proof exists to
link with the immigrant families of DUVALL, CHENEY, IJAMS, TYLER, GRIFFITHS,
SCOTT, and AGNEW to name just a few.
Because of Aunt Jennies legacies,
Betty Terrell Owens lineage through Mary Belle Nowlin Terrells mother has been proved
for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution for BENJAMIN DUVALL
3RD Patriot from Maryland.
Betty Terrell Owens has proved her lineage to MAREEN DUVALL,
Colony of Maryland for
membership in the Colonial Dames of the Seventeenth Century.
For Mary Belle Nowlin Terrells father, John Joseph Nowlin,
Betty Terrell Owens has proved his
lineage for Daughters of the American Revolution for:
BRYAN WARD NOWLIN, Patriot, Virginia
EDWARD WADE, SR. Patriot, Virginia

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
are you there?
meet 1/2 way.
I want to fight again to get my kids back, but I just think I will lose again. I feel like the legal system is making it so hard to raise my kids, and leaving them vulnerable to life
correct, but she was in violation the first decree also when she took the kids out of state.
what is a material change?
So, If I wanted to get her back into the state the divorce was finalized in, what should I do? The second time it didn't work for me, because she got to stay in North Carolina. I want to be able to be part of my childrens lives.
It seems like the legal system is supporting a isolation of the father figure from the child (btw, no abuse or any issues on either side)
this is the same circle that I tried when she left the first time. why do the courts seem to favor in the mothers case? Any other tips to get it swayed in my favor?
So, I reviewed the documents and they state she only has to meet me for the holidays. With that being said, are there any violations since I gave her the gas money to visit and she did not show?
Ahhh-- that sounds like a start. Do you think I could ask her to pay for the legal costs for the motion and court fees?
would that help to document for future modifications?
yeah more concerned with documenting the behavior and establishing a pattern
thanks, XXXXX XXXXX been a good help. I know where to start now.

Roadgear cover on BMW K1200LT
BMW Motorcycle Cover
Roadgear Hibernator Motorcycle Cover
by "Mad Dog" Earle for webBikeWorld
Reviews Home
Several visitors have written to us over the last few months
asking for recommendations on a motorcycle cover for their BMW motorcycles.
The majority of the emails inquired
about a basic motorcycle cover for use in the garage
during long-term storage. The cover did not
necessarily have to be waterproof, and it didn't even
have to be a BMW brand, but they wanted the cover to be
"non contact" to prevent scratching.
Is there such a thing as a "non contact"
motorcycle cover? Hmmm.... I don't thinks
so, unless you count one of those inflatable motorcycle
garage cocoons that can fit in a garage. Some of
them can even be filled with inert gas for really long
term storage!
I wasn't sure which type of cover to
recommend, but it just so happened that Roadgear sent us
a couple of samples of their new "Hibernator" motorcycle
cover recently. The Hibernator fits BMW
motorcycles but is not BMW-specific. It comes in
three sizes, "Sport", "Jumbo" and "Mega".
The Mega size fits big touring bikes
like the BMW K1200LT. It's larger than the Jumbo
and also has a larger "pocket" that will fit over the
big K-bike's windscreen.
The Jumbo size works well on Rick's 1986
R65 shown here. The bike has a BMW "S" style
fairing, and it's set up pretty much like a slightly
smaller scale R90S.
I probably could have used the Sport
size to fit the R65, but the Jumbo works fine and has
the added benefit of also fitting the Tiger, although
the Tiger almost never gets a bath or a cover, befitting
it's tough-guy persona. The R65 is different,
because it's now 20 years old, a true vintage bike!
To get an idea of its size, we tried the
Roadgear Jumbo motorcycle cover on a few different
It's a bit too big for a Ducati Monster
(the Sport size would probably work better), just about
right for a Multistrada or a Triumph Daytona 955i and it
also fits the Triumph Tiger, both the "Steamer" and
"Girlie" versions. If you don't know the
difference, you need to get on the Tiger train!
The covers are made from very soft
flannel material in the U.S.A., like most Roadgear
products. The covers are very easy to put on and
take off, which is a plus.
We previously had the
R65 covered with an old twin sized bed sheet, and
although it's easy to put on and take off, it slides all
over the place at the slightest breeze.
The covers also have the Roadgear logo,
which is usually found as a strip of reflective tape on
most of their products.
The Roadgear covers have strips of
elastic sewn in at the front and rear. It's just
enough elastic to hold the cover on, but not enough to
make it too hard to get the cover on over the bike.
It's always a good idea to wash and wax
a motorcycle before it's put away for storage during the
winter, because even the softest material may scratch
the paint if it's dragged over a dirty surface.
The Sport, the Jumbo and the Mega can be
considered permanent garage dwellers; they're not
designed to be carried on the bike and used outdoors.
But they work perfectly for dust-free garage use and the
sizes will fit most bikes, both modern and vintage.

D. Ocean Hammmock Golf Course
The Ocean & 16th Road Palm Coast, FL 32137
Named a "Modern Classic" by Links Magazine, this
oceanfront 18-hole championship golf course features indigenous forest
and wetlands, coastal dune formations and the Atlantic Ocean itself as
a panoramic backdrop. The only true oceanfront golf course to open in Florida in more than 70 years. Eight
of Ocean Hammock's holes are on the Atlantic Ocean, while the remaining
wind through unspoiled wetlands and past sparkling lakes. The last four
holes of the par 72 course have been nicknamed the "Bears Claw" and are
considered to be among the most memorable finishing holes anywhere.
Fairways have generous landing areas but narrow significantly on second
shots. The difficult par 3s are handicapped lower than the reachable
par 5s. Greens are large with undulations but putt truly. In typical
Nicklaus fashion, the course is well bunkered with many deep faced. GPS
equipped carts help you negotiate this beautiful layout. The staff is
professional and very courteous.
Ocean Hammock's practice area is fabulous. It's one
of the largest in the area with several target greens and a separate
instructional area at the far end. The putting green is huge and, like
the rest of the course, in great condition. Ocean
Hammock Club is private. Complete your round with lunch or dinner and
drinks at The Atlantic Grill in the Lodge overlooking the 18th and the
Atlantic Ocean. You can not buy individual rounds. Buy from us for $150 (includes green fee and cart fee and taxes) please call or email Vacation Rental Pros accounting, (Debi) at (904)-242-7079, email@example.com
The Conservatory Golf
Course at Ginn Hammock Beach, a Tom Watson Signature design, offers 140
acres of dramatic elevations and undulating greens not commonly found
in Florida. In fact, the Conservatory has the highest slope rating in
Florida! The Conservatory includes nearly 76 acres of man-made lakes
and three water features. Two Carolina-style creeks wind their way
through the course and a large stunning waterfall serves as a natural
water treatment system. With six tee boxes per hole, the Conservatory
promises an exciting challenge for all levels of play, and when played
from the back tees there is no longer course in the state. Highlighted
by man-made waterfalls, babbling brooks and veneered field stone work,
the Conservatory offers as much for the senses as it does for the game. You can not buy individual rounds. Buy from us for $150 (includes green fee and cart fee and taxes) please call or email Vacation Rental Pros accounting, (Debi) at (904)-242-7079, email@example.com

text: Hello All, I'm an independent gear developer and have a functioning prototype of a guitar tone processor I'm calling the ToneZzar Harmonic Waveshaper. Why announce a prototype here? Well, I'm hoping to find a gear manufacturer that would like to add a new, rather unique product to their lineup. There are details and demos at my website below. In a nutshell, it's a SHARC DSP powered tone processor that does not use amp modeling. I have nothing against modeling, it's great stuff, but I wanted to create a tool that lets people build their own tones and effects from scratch. I guess it's sort of an anti-modeler, but I'm sure it will co-exist peacefully with the modelers. The hardware was developed a few years ago and all of the SHARC's power is needed for the tone creation processes that I wanted. As such, it does not include standard effects like reverb, chorus, etc. A production version of the unit would use a current generation SHARC to reduce cost and also provide the additional processing power needed for high-quality standard effects. Please check it out. If you know anyone in the biz that might be interested, please point them my way. If you're a player, I'd like to hear how useful you think this product would be to you.

About this Business
From Our Editors
A curving wooden bar and Victorian chairs give Vie de Bohème the ambiance of a 19th-century Parisian bar, one where artists such as Matisse and Toulouse-Lautrec might have passed the time. Visitors lounge in the inviting space as they sip on beer, cocktails, or a selection of wines from around the world or accompany their bartender into the wine library to select bottles to take home or store in a secret wine cellar beneath the Olympic-size whiskey pool. Traditional snacks such as cheese and charcuterie complement drinks, and small plates, like their salmon cakes or pate plate, give way to more substantial dishes such as cassoulet to make sumptuous dinners. Local bands and pianists who play the in-house grand piano often inspire dancing.
